An upsurge of excitement repealed the year. 1984 came with a bang and the impor- tant waiting was over. Happy Days were at Richmond Heights again. Some things that fell through in the Fall, were sparked up again in the Winter. The school levy which failed in November, was revoted upon, and passed in February. No cut- backs in transportation were made and no extra-curricular activities such as yearbook and newspaper were cut out, and no faculty members were laid off. A chefery class which was supposed to be offered to seniors at the beginning of the year, wasn ' t, instead it was offered the second semester. The class had twen- ty-two students, twenty boys and only two girls. The senior class sponsored the Mr. Senior contest and Nick Tibaldi was awarded the winner by raising the most money from the student body. His prize was a pie in the face, along with runners up Jeff Girbino and Dave Bill. Aside from having fun at Richmond Heights we were excelling in academics too. Eleven students were inducted into the National Honor Society while seniors Jill Minick, Elizabeth Heeter, and Michelle Zaller earned national merit honors. Combining brains with charisma, we knew it was a year worth waiting for. —84—
