Behind the scenes STAGE GUILD Useful club running the show How about joining a club with real purpose? A club that other people rely on? A club where you get to sweep up the floor? If these things turn you on, join Stage Guild. The Stage Guild ' s main function is to provide for the technical aspects of any production or program on the stage, or in school. These include building scenery, op- erating the lights, sound, and curtains. The Guild prepares the stage for athletic awards programs, assemblies, like the an- nual National Honor Society assembly, and any other stage event. Clean-up. Greg Crudele sweeps the stage.

Collecting money to give to charity is Yasmina Raguz and Nancy Lesic. These two freshmen members were new to the club. Dapper. Displaying his new Show Band outfit is member Rafe Omerza. Lack of funds caused all members to purchase their own outfits. Pregnant? Who ' s Preg- nant? Another teacher is pregnant? Cries like these could be heard throughout RHHS this past year. First down was Mrs. Machoukas. She left the school in December and had a boy in January. Mrs. Leciejewski got the bug and left in March. The strangest was Mrs. Faul, who is Mrs. Machoukas ' s replacement. She caught the bug after Christmas. Losing three teachers in one year is a big blow to RHHS. A nursery was pro- posed, but dropped. Guess we ' ll just have to find some new teachers. Wait a minute, there ' s another one. Mr. Cosimi. Well, he ' s not pregnant. His wife is. — M.H. The Pregnant Club Key Club 137

I can ' t mess around. The two teachers are two of the most experienced on the staff. They are also in charge of the school curriculum, of course. But, like the constantly expand- ing Pregnant Club, the Doc- tor Club ' s membership is on the rise, the doctors are ex- pecting a new member by next year. How does Dr. Noreika sound? J.Z.
