Ron ' s total partici- wild geese to migrate to RHHS. pation in Non-Club left him little time for anything else. Abiding By the Rules Breaking the Code Non Club? what the heck is that? stated senior member Tim DeVito, in an obvious attempt to hide his membership in the club. But Tim wasn ' t the only shy one. Almost all Non club members either denied being in the club or were non-active Members. Never heard of Non club? Let me explain it to you. Non club was an exclusive R.H.H.S. organization which students joined (or non-joined) when they want to do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Why should some- one play a musical mstrument, clean up the stage, or goskiingwithhisfriends when he could sit and . . . sit? Or sleep twenty hours a day, including the seven hours in school? Once again the number of state champion sports teams at R.H.H.S. outnumbered the accomplish- ments of the Non club. What do thye do in Non club, you say? They often met in the bathrooms between classed, but it ' s tough to hold a meeting with all that smoke. They sometimes coverged in the R room (otherwise known as the Senior Lounge), but it got too loud, too messy and too crowded to get anything done. They usually settled for the time spent on Hip- pie Row in the parking lot every morning. One excuse the non clubbers had for not doing anything was the lack of a non-advisor I guess most of the teachers were too busy advising other clubs to help organize our nothingness. said an anonymous (What else? ) Non-clubber. It ' s really easy to join Non club. You don ' t have to do anything. Literally. No sign up sheets no applica- tions, no practices (sleeping and laziness are inborn), no meetings, no effort, no credit, no fun! And there ' s was only one rule. Total non-participation in school activities. Break this rule, you ' re out. You ' ll im- mediately turn into a semi-normal high school stu- dent. Holding Non-Club office, usually a very presti- gious title, was up in the air for most of the year. When Tim Devito was told he was president, he held true to I guess most of the teoohers were too busy odvising other clubs to help orgo- r ize our nothing- ness, ' . Non-Club standards and denied all knowledge of it. John Matic was finally coerced into the office, and Devito took over as Vice-Presidnet, obviously willing to sit back and observe. Wrapping up another Non- Year was very easy to do. Or should I say not do? Of course, a non- celebration was held for the non-clubbers who gradu- ated. What about those who didn ' t graduate? They got ready for next year of course. J - 1 TT,- C?i ' ■ «.« W% «» ■■ fi m- .« .-«• .la , —„ W 1 - — .•a fXi ' k. HP ' eiH : ' : 86 Non-Club

Abiding By the Rules Where Picas Count Q uick, I need ten more lines of copy about newspaper, yelled Doug Reukauf to members of the year- book staff three hours before his final deadline. Doug was one of the first year members who was saddled with the editorship of a section. Completely inexperienced, Doug and other members of the staff quickly learned the ins and outs of taking pictures, writing copy, interviewing friends, and finally sell- ing ads. By the end of November the staff had sold over $12,000 worth of advertising and was already looking for a theme. With the new principal in the school, a theme puning on the event was chosen: Just A Matter of Principle. In December staffers begin to put in long night hours, looking for lost photos, lost copy blocks, and those members who had forgotten to show up. Encouraged by their award of Buckeye from the Great Lakes InterScholastic Press Association in No- vember, staffers pulled together to outdo the 1984 book. The triumvirate of Editor Mike Haas and Assistant Editors Larry Schwenk and Jeff Zitel demanded perfection and hard work from the 2 1 member staff By mid-March, the final deadline was visible to the staff and it appeared that this edition might be deliv- ered before the close of school. I never realized how much work was involved in yearbooking and I never realized how much hard work I would be required to do, commented Doris Cah, in between indexing and designing yearbook posters. A Year Worth Wait- ing For ' tool the highest award, The Buckey, which Rich- mond Hts, Year- books have token for few years, Yet staffers plugged away with counting out photos and copy blocks for the 208 pages. And in the end, Doug did find additional information and wrote out the final ten lines for the newspaper copy. Anyone have a calculator that counts picas and writes copy? were the final words of Doug. 27, 28, 29 . . . Upon counting school snapshots, yearbooker Chris I don ' t think Beale will like this.
