Richmond High Qchool Richmond, Michigan 1971 The position of the sun, the influence of the moon, the proximity of the stars, all determine our fate ... or so the ancients said. In ancient Babylonia, the planetary demons demanded sacrifice from earth dwellers. The Greeks gave the constellations life. In the twentieth century we again find our future inextricably bound to the heavens — not through myth or legend, but through knowledge. With the knowledge we have gained we will reach the stars in the Age of Aquarius 7 Student Life 8 X You'll never get your typing done like that, Jeff.

Scheduling — a new Dan Weinert found himself at a disadvantage when it came to rac- ing from one prospective teacher to another (above). 4 24 Mrs. McNeight found her signature in great demand. (and puzzling) experience Scheduling may befuddle freshmen (above) but Gordie Mantay, a sophomore, finds it a cinch! 25 Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil ...” Far from it - students in Richmond's new democratic leadership class tackled real issues. A successful year for Sfudent Congress This year's Student Congress has found out its work is difficult but rewarding. Among its contributions, the Congress has seen a dream become reality in the new democratic leadership class. Offered for the first time second semes- ter, this class enabled interested stu- dents to explore the possibilities of student government. Student Congress officers: Karen Dueweke, president; June Meininger, vice president; Patti Mitchell, secretary; and Craig Martin, treasurer. The Voice came alive in '71 Under the direction of Mrs. Welser and Editor Don Tewks- bury, students took a more active interest in the school paper.

Editors Judy Carroll and Debbie Schmitz supplied the organization, talent and endless hours of work which made the production of the 1971 Echo run more smoothly than ever. Photographer Dorothy Riley may be nominated for some sort of award for attending more games and social events than anyone else in Richmond. To Dorothy goes the credit for the many candids in the Echo. 32 Jeanne Raska did layouts as well as the painstaking underclassman pages. Although tired after a vigorous ad campaign, Tina Rickert worked on Echo layouts. Mrs. Texley and her gerbils watch- ed over every phase of the prepar- ation process. Staff artist Glenn Brassard designed the cover, the zodiac signs, and page one of the Echo. Echo Judy Thorne joined the staff in our hour of need to provide layout and copy. Brenda Townsend was business editor, but above with Chris Witt she's up to monkey business. 33 Under the direction of Mr. Burton Zander (right) Richmond's band performed at foot- ball games, parades and concerts during 1970-1971.

You have a tendency to seek perfection, and thus you are constantly striving to reach your goal. You are the natural investigator and detec- tive - the person who brings order to chaos. One of your greatest needs is to be useful. Life has been a challenge for you, because you can perceive, sense, and evaluate. You are connected with the times, yet separated.

You prefer symbols to facts, gestures to actions and the raising of an eyebrow to an outright comment. You feel the drama and the tragedy of life. You alone sense its importance.
