; ■ iMi.g;,,.;:;,;:; -, The Wait Was On Worth the Wait. All summer these men were repaving and repairing Richmond Road. The com- munity was waiting for the job to be finished and by the first week of school Richmond Road looked brand new. Waiting to be Settled. Arranging papers on her new desk is Guidance counselor Miss Georgeann Yug. Miss Yug ' s office was completely remodeled and it took some time to adjust to the new sur- roundings. Waiting in Anticipation. For nine years these fans had been waiting for a championship football team. Fortunately their wait was over as the Spar- tans clinched the 1983 ESC championship. Waiting for the Right Moment. Filming a pep as- sembly is Mr. Oliver Affolter and his crew. Affolter came from Switzerland to film a documentary of schools in the United States. He had been an AFS student at Richmond Heights in 1969. Introduction 3

The Shift Was Complete; Last year was the year of the shift; students waited for peace quiet Oh my gosh, another change! This was a reaction that was blurted out by many Richmond Heights stu- dents through the past school year. We seemed to be Caught in the Shift. The shift that took place in Richmond Heights and affected, not only the students and faculty, but the entire community. These changes and all of the oth- er shifts that took place during the last school year and through the summer were very monotanous, and everyone was waiting for it all to end. Richmond Road was being repaved, a section of the school building was being remodeled, the Junior-Senior lounge was being recarpeted, and sport teams were lacking in players. Were we going to have to go through the changes two years in a row? At the start of school, the 309 students and 31 faculty members were a little scared. But most of the renovation was complete and the school started looking nice, giving people a sense of pride to be associated with Richmond Heights Schools. And sport teams, though lacking players, were producing vic- tories. Then everyone started to think, that maybe because things were starting to look good, that 1984 might be the year worth waiting for. —84— 2 Introduction

I Brought Gold Leaves All of a sudden we were in the winner ' s circle. And it was just great. When Fall drifted upon us, things continued looking up. The nniddJe section of the building was carpeted, and new walls and classroom doors were installed in that same section. Richmond Road was wider and smoother, making the outside sur- roundings nice as well as the school itself. Many of the activity groups were doing well. The football team clinched its first E.S.C. title in nine years with only 25 players. The Academic Challenge team defeated Painesville Riverside and Mansfield High Schools. This made it known that Richmond Heights was strong academically as well as athletically. The Yearbook Staff came home from B.G.S.U. with a first place Buckeye award from G.L.I. P. A. When the school levy came up many signs and bumper stickers that read I LOVE R.H. were seen all over the city. The students, parents, and faculty members formed a car caravan having a car representing every activity group in Richmond Heights. Nobody wanted this year to go sour because 84 was going to be a year worth waiting for. — 84—
