Neui Faces The Day BEFORE And AFTER In style, Jeanette McGee dressed as pop star Michael Jackson, Jeanette attended the Cleveland school of Science. Hard at work, Ann Dhamija works hard at her ge- ometry. Ann lived in India before moving to Rich- mond Hts. Imagine your first day at a new school. You get on the bus and are very excited about going to a new school. It is a chance to start over and meet new friends. Usually a students ' first day at a new school is a very frightening experience. There were many fears that a new student must overcome. They must over- come the smallness of the school. And this was the hardest part. Most of the stu- dents attended much larger schools. The often wondered question is, Will I be ac- cepted? This can be answered after the first day. The new students were very active in the extra curriculum activities. The activities they performed in were football, basketball, matmaids and track. LaMarr Brown who played varsity basketball stat- ed, In a small school such as Richmond Hts., an athlete has a better chance to play, and also a better chance to make friends. Students were not the only few new faces around the school. There have also been a couple of new teachers. Mrs. Nora Paul returned here to take Mrs. Machoukas ' place teaching Geometry. Mrs. Leciejewski also left during the mid- dle of the year and she was replaced by Mr. Steve Glosser. So if you are planning to enter a new school, the best thing to do is to become active in as many activities as possible. Do not really worry about being accepted by all of the students, because you prob- ably will not be. But there is always someone there. Accepting a new teacher is in the same respects as accepting a new student. This past year, RHHS had tried to be a place where new faces were welcome. — D.H. 32 New Students

Following an elder ' s footsteps may not always be so easy. Especially when your elder is the opposite sex. Kate Bonnay and her older brother Kevin are alike in many ways. Kevin was involved in sports and was a very successful wrestler. Kate, who is now a sophomore, plays exceptionally for her softball team. Kate, with three more seasons to go, has already earned a varsity letter. Kate and Kevin are mostly comparable in the yearbook room. Kevin contributed constantly to the production of the yearbook. The work is hard, but we have a lot of fun, Kate concludes. Having respect for your older sister can affect many decisions a younger sister makes. Senior Patty Rim has an older sis- ter, Alice, who attends the Northwestern University. Alice was involved in sports, along with being captain of the Gymnastics team. Patty, who has never ending respect for her older sister, is also Involved in sports, being a co-captain of the Basketball team. Both sisters were of- ficers on the National Honor Society. Patty says I get along great with my sis- ter, and I like what she does with herself. Having an older sister that is gifted can make it near impossible to follow in her footsteps. Dana Loparo has an older sis- ter Diane, who is very talented in the art world, Diane never became involved in any school activities. While Diane, on the other hand is just the opposite. Dana is a cheerleader, in the spring, and a gymnast during the winter. Dana ' s interests are more directed to dance, as she has taken classes in both jazz dancing and tap dancing, while Dana and Diane get along well, there interests vary. Sometimes you can have two brothers that have opposite personalities. Rob Horvath has an older brother Keith, who was involved in sports. Keith was successful in football, along with being a captain. In wrestling Keith placed second in state, and again was captain. Rob decided sports wasn ' t his thing, so he walked a new path. His interests drift more towards mechanics. He spends most of his time working on his car. Just because my brother is a jock, I didn ' t feel pressure to become what he was stated Rob. Big Brother 31
