Democratic Candidate — Gary Hart seems to be the democratic frontrunner as Mayor Hart surpr ised Political experts all through the primaries. Voting Senior — Jim Pawiowski casts his ballot on voting day. Many seniors such as Jim turned 18 in time for the election. Decljiion 84 With 1984 being the year that a presi- dential election takes place, it is the duty of the yearbook to run an election spread. In Mr. Orban ' s Government class stu- dents voted on the issues and candidates within the city. The students chose 5 of 7 candidates running for city offices and 3 of 4 issues on the ballot. I was very sur- prised at how accurate the class was this year, commented Orban, in the past the students were less interested in the elections, but there is a new breed of kid coming up, a type of kid that can change the course of American society. The Richmond election saw the at- tempted comeback of DeSan, but he did not have enough power to overcome Boyle ' s wrath. It also brought forth Mar- cia Starskcy Morgan in Ward 1, Gabriel 38 Election Melline in Ward 2, Frank Lentine in Ward 3, Ward 4 — Leila Shiozawa, Loushin and Celestina as Council-at-Large, and Presi- dent of the council Richard St. John. In November, the school system tried to pass a Levy, but it was defeated by a small margin despite the great efforts of the students and levy supporters attempts to rally votes. I was very disappointed at the rejection of the first levy, but the passing of the levy on the February ballot was an overwhelming triumph for the schools. With more students voting and more voters feeling the repercussions of what not voting can do, future elections should be in the green. — L.S. THANK RICHMOND YOT Schools Gratitude — The school board posted it ' s thanks to the community the day after the February election. When voters found out some consequences, some no votes turned to yes votes.

STORIGS YOU MIGF+T Done BuiLDinGBec iM Richmond Heights High School has been chosen for the sight of the worlds first high school domed stadium. After the passing of the school levy in February, the school board approved of the request from the football coach for the indoor field. I think the stadium will change the attitudes of the players immensely. I also feel that the attendance at the game was a problem. There was not enough room to hold all of the Spartan ' s 33 fans, commented football team member Joe Tomaszewski. Other students felt that the attendance at the Spartan football games would not have to sit out in the cold to watch a game. Work on the stadium began in early January and is expected to be completed around the end of August. — L.S. PRIMCIP IL puMKhnvieriT The Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.l.), staked out our Richmond Hts. High School early one morning in search of Edward Reznichenko, alias God . Ed- ward came to Richmond Heights two years ago in his freshman year, and no one noticed him. Over the years though, people began to notice him. They also noticed that he carried a mysterious brown, leather case, and always wore his buckle boots. Elizabeth Heeter comment- ed, Edward always seemed so solitary, in the halls and in class he would very seldom say a word. His grades were very high and perhaps that is why Russia chose him to spy on our American schools. In Reznichenko ' s vs. the U.S.A., school history-Government teacher William Orban got Ed off at all offenses. Court room attendants claimed that in his presenta- tion, Orban was a wild man. Could this be where Wild Bill originated. —L.S. ;k SPY uncoviGReD SOCCGR CC With the rising popularity of soccer America, Richmond Hts. decided to pi its two cents in. A petition has been goin around for two years to start a scho( soccer team in Richmond Heights. Th reason for the constant rejection of th: proposition has been coaching, that is, ui til now.
