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—

And Quickly The Spartans Students were finding classes and activities fun and very profitable I really like Richmond Heights, stated Freshman Bilal Mani, It ' s a nice school, and I ' m proud to be here. The changes were affecting everyone in the same way. Sure the classe s got boring and the home- work piled up, but things were going the right way. Under the direction of Senior Class President Mike MacLellan, many dances and activities were put on. A spirit week, for example, when the students dressed up as members of the opposite sex, or wore unmatched clothes. There of course was blue and white day. A toga party was held at the Kiwanis Lodge. Many ideas were being given for a shed design. Seniors were dis- covering the hard work of filling out and sending out college applications. The students were having fun and enjoying the new school year. We were getting along and doing things together on our own. The fun was there and the attitude was up, and people were saying that 1984 was a year worth waiting for. —84—
