Firestarter Senior Nick Tibaldi lights wood for seniors Bob Shackelford and Bob Suszek. After a 20 minute wind delay, the fire was started. Up In Smoke Two days of hard work were quickly burned away on Friday night. The wood used in the fire, mainly packing crates, is donated. 53©Q ©mo k. Monday morning again. I hate Mondays. Wait a minute. His clothes don ' t match. Neither do hers . . . This was a typical reaction on October tenth. It was the beginning of one of the busiest weeks of the school year. Monday through Friday was spirit week, Friday night was the bonfire, and Saturday was Homecoming. Monday was, of course, Clash Day . Students wore their best red checkered shirt with their fa- vorite orange pants. Or their Hawai- ian shirt. Or their 1970 Bell Bottom jeans. It was not a sight for the squeemish. Tuesday, boys found out just how cold skirts are and girls found out that ties are tight and mustaches tickle. Boy Girl Day saw many strange glances to match the strange apparel. Did Hawken know that our football team was wearing skirts and dresses? Bathrobe Day was accepted happily. On this day it was perfectly fine to come to school looking like you just woke up. For some people this was normal behavior anyway. Radical Day was just as it sounded. Punk rockers roamed the halls, along with many other unspecified crea- tures. This day was a perennial favor- ite. Student involvement was a big sur- prise. At a time when Richmond Hts. spirit was definitely at a low ebb, RHHS students showed unparalleled enthusiasm. There was much more participation this year than in other years esp ecially among the seniors, said Kevir Smyth. Saturday ' s big event was dulled by the Spartan ' s last-second loss to Hawken, but the Homecoming Dance was successful nevertheless. The theme was Haven ' t We Been Here Before?, and the gym was decorated with balloons which were romantically dropped during the theme song. Partyline played the music, and the evening was enjoyed by most. Busy as it was, this week held many memories and good times. It was not your ordinary week. — M. H. 20 Homecoming

This Donny Zatako gets made up for his was Mr Meyer ' s second production performance. Bye-Bye Birdie was his here. first performance. Last fall the Drama Club performed Bye-Bye Birdie. This was an excellent play to perform for high school students, stated Michelle Kirchner. The play took place in a small Ohio town much like ours. The play dealt with high school stu- dents and their rock-n-roll idols. Bye-Bye Birdie shows the impact that a rock-n-roll star has on the teen- agers of a small town. This rock star, Conrad Birdie, was played by David Turk. Throughout the play Conrad turns the McAfee household upside down. One of the few problems the Richmond Heights Drama Club had to overcome 22 Fall Play was once again the lack of student participation. A major problem was when four actors quit the play. Sophomore Jim Dworning stated that the replacements for those people had only one week to learn their parts. The play ends happily for Ann ' s char- acter because she ends up in Robert Skrbis ' s arms. It also ended happily for Drama Club president Lauri Weis. As president she felt, that the play went quite well considering we needed more time to put it together. The fall play was clearly worth waiting for because of its closeness to real teenage life. — D.H.
