87 ECHO On Board All On Board for the ’86-’87 School Year It all began as usual on August 26, 1986. The halls were finely waxed and smooth, and the smell of freshly painted lockers filled the air. But all was not nice and fresh. There seemed to be a stench coming from room 409, Mr. Phillips’ room. The odor tortured students and faculty for about a month. Thanks to the janitorial staff, it was finally taken care of. Our school year began with many trials and tribulations concerning students drinking and driving. A car was placed outside the front of the school to remind all students of the consequences of drinking and driving, and SADD became a very prominent club in the school. With Homecoming being very early, September 26, plans went into action fast to prepare for the grand event. Float meetings were held and once again each class pulled together to produce a float which would represent their class. A very unique Halloween was celebrated in RHS on October 31. All students, as well as teachers and other faculty, were asked to dress for the oc- casion. There was a great turnout and everyone had fun. Those who didn’t participate were in awe of those who did. Along with the beginning of school, comes the start of the famous cafeteria food. Although it has improv- ed over the years, the food isn’t what really makes the lunch. It’s the feeling of friendship, chatter and laughter that fills the students in RHS. It was destined to be an awesome, unforgettable year at RHS right from the start. It’s the “ham,” Sharon Ottenbacher showin’ her stuff! Mr. Zott in the wee hours of the morning. Joseph Jennings told us all, “You’ve got to pay the price.

EHSRHSEHSEHS) Opening EHSRHSEHSEHS Spirit Week This year’s spirit week began with the question of whether or not we would have a bonfire. By the request of the students, we were allowed one day to collect as much wood as possi- ble. In spite of the rain, the bonfire turned out to be a success. Spirit week continued with each class participating in the following spirit week categories: Monday, Pa- jama and Sweat Day; Tuesday, Twin and Hat Day; Wednesday, Western and Hawaiian Day; Thursday Baby and Collegiate Day; Friday, Blue and White Day. Each class showed great en- thusiasm. The freshmen even surpris- ed everyone by coming in first one of the days! Overall, the seniors showed the most spirit and came in first place.

Due to tornado warn- ings, the game was postponed until the next day, where Kevin Schroeder caught a 15 yard pass for the winning touchdown. The floats were judged on originali- ty, size, and neatness. The Sophomores’ colorful float took first place, while the Seniors’ binocular float took second. The Juniors’ play- ing cards placed third and the Freshmen’s boat took fourth. The Homecoming Dance on September 27 was very successful. Plenty of students and alumni par- ticipated. The Homecoming King and Queen were Kevin Schroeder and Carmen Janssen. Other Senior representatives were Jean Newman, James Owen, Anne Cousino, David Smith. The underclass representatives were Junior — Karen Domagalski, Joel Brandei; Sophomore — Charlotte Carlson, Matt Spezia; Freshmen — Michelle Batory, John Kingman.

To many people at RHS, starting school means new clothes and new looks. Among many fashions were pants tucked into socks, rolled up pants, long skirts, and short leather boots. The boys this fall wore a wide assortment of colorful sweaters, suspenders, baggy pants, and sports jerseys. For both girls and guys they wore similar long and short tweed coats that seem to be the in thing this fall and winter. As for hair styles this year, it was the boys who went to the extreme. This year, they got their hair buzzed, brushed, and lasered. It seems as though we are flashing back to the flat tops (buzz cuts) of the middle 50’s. Girls did not go to many extremes this year. Instead they wore colorful banana clips, bows, and ribbons. The ordinary ponytail has made a real comeback. Seniors, Candi Dozek and Wendy Pridotkas take a second out of class to show us their fashionable outfits. Sophomore, Jennifer Harris, posing in the year- book room, shows us the trend of wearing short pants and shaker-knit sweaters.

RHSkHSk HSRTTSj Christmas kHSkHSRFTSRHS 15 Winter Trends Here today, gone tomorrow. You never know how long a trend will last. Trends and fashion are a big part of school. Everyone tries to wear what’s in style. Some people wear different things than other people and stand out in a crowd. It all depends on what you like or what you want to wear. Trends are to be enjoyed by everyone. The following pictures are examples of some of the many trends during the 86-87 school year. Heather Marshall wearing comfortable clothes consisting of a Coca-Cola sweatshirt and jeans. These are the type of clothes people wear when they don’t feel like coming to school dressed up. In other words, they feel like bumming. -r A Senior Poppy Hill wears her hair in a French braid. This and banana clips or hair clips are how the girls are wearing their hair. This gives girls the pleasure of waking up late and not hav- ing to worry about not having enough time to do their hair. A shot of Blair Roy’s feet? High tops with tongues hanging out seem to be the style for ten- nis shoes these days. Senior Tammy Yake, wearing a mini skir and shirt, poses against the junior locken for a shot of her outfit. Seems like mini skirts are back — almost everyone has one. It b either worn with dress shoes or leather booties and socks bunched up around the ankles. 16 EHSRHSEESRHSJ Winter Trends EHSKHSEH5EH5 IHSKRSRHSRHSRHSK k HSKHSK HSK HSK HSK H?

RHS1U4SUHSRHSRHSKH — k HSR HSR HSR HSR HSR I Assemblies Add Spirit, Fun and Facts The varsity cheerleaders gave us smiles and good cheers for every pep assembly. Assemblies are a big part of R.H.S. from pep assemblies to S.A.D.D. assemblies, they are to provide spirit, fun, and facts. Football and Basketball assemblies provide the spirit with the Cheerleaders leading, the bleachers rumble as the students get ready for the first game. The spirit jug keeps the records of what class has the most spirit. The Christmas Choir assembly, Almost Anything Goes and Step-Up day provided the fun. Our Sound Ex- press Choir group along with the Rich- mond Band put on a Christmas assembly that really provided the Christmas spirit. Almost Anything Goes is a day of games and competi- tions between the classes. Step-Up day is a day that high school students never forget, especially a senior. This is the day when all the classes move into the spot of the bleachers higher than them and the seniors step down into the chairs of Graduation. Charlotte Carlson and Matt Spezia were elected sophomore Homecoming King and Queen. The S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) assemblies provided the facts for the students at R.H.S There were a number of very good speakers to remind us of the conse quences of drinking and driving. Michele Raska, president of the student council, gives a speech at a pep assembly. Captain of the Football team, Don Green, gives a speech to raise spirit for the football games. Speaker Joseph Jennings was invited by S.A.D.D. to an R.H.S. assembly. RHSRHSRHSEHSEHSEH KHSKHSEH5EHSEHSKH S.A.D.D. speaker Larry Rotta attends an assembly.

They started out the year planning the 1986 Homecoming. Festivities began with fun-filled spirit week. In December, was the annual Christmas dance. The week before Christmas vacation started, the Stu- dent Council had a week similar to Spirit week. One day they had a door decorating contest. The winner was Mr. Curtis and his fourth hour class. They received a free pizza party when they returned from Christmas vacation. In the spring, the Student Council held their second annual Hawaiian dance. The Almost Anything Goes contest was a big success again this year. RHS has a lot of things to thank the Student Council for. L. to R : Michelle Raska — Pres., Jackie Quick — V.

Library Continues to Improve Library “87” has been a very good year for R.H.S., the library aides and the librarian, Mrs. Olson. This is because there has been some new, specialized, and more advanced equipment that was purchased this year by bond issue money. Such equipment includes a new television VCR, an overhead projector and an electronic and more advanced copy machine. This year the school library policies have changed drastically. Now the library deals with overdue books as more of a crucial misdemeanor. No exams can be taken unless your library books are handed in at the pro- per time. Next year, better equipment is planned to come and the new equip- ment is a new projection sound system and a computerized system which will put everything on record. This will tru- ly put the high school library on the right track. But, with all this advanced equip- ment, you need someone to keep everything in order. The person who does everything to perfection is Mrs. Sue Olsen. Mrs. Olsen has been a librarian at R.H.S. for 2Vi years. Students and teachers together ap- preciate her efforts.

The English Department at RHS has shown great improvement over the years. An art and literary magazine, called “Flights of Fancy,” has been created to showcase the creative talents of the students. Also improved is the RHS Voice (School Newspaper) which has had many changes for the better. Such changes include quality of size, typing, use of pictures and professional prin- ting instead of Xeroxing. There are many other activities besides just the paper. In Drama there has been a countless number of plays that were performed in Mrs. Schlater’s room and also the theatrical process was taught which includes stage makeup application, education of plays and playwrights, costume design, blocking stage movements, etc. This year the drama and film- making classes raised money for the camera system by selling Morley’s Candy. It is truly known that the English Department has taught the students a lot. Next year the freshmen will be required to take speech. Mrs. Welser's 2nd hour class takes time-out to get warm.

Building Trades Completes Home The students in Buildings Trades class were unable to complete their house during the 85-86 school year, but the 86-87 school year was a very rewarding one for the students in the class. They started off fresh after a long summer. They were ready and eager to work and learn. The first task to be completed was to backfill the garage with sand. This was done by hand and it took one month to do. By the beginning of October, they poured the cement in the garage to form the floor. By the middle of October half the students ran electrical wire through the house, connecting it to all the outlets and fixtures while the other students were outside putting siding on the house. The electrical and siding work went on till Christmas vacation. When the students returned from vacation, they learned how to insulate the house and put up drywall. The insulation and drywall was finished by March. The last things to be completed were to paint the rooms, put down tile and carpeting, and nail trim around the doors. The house was finished shortly before the end of the school year. Physical Education classes consisted of weight training taught by Mr. Nyeholt. Weight training class had a good time learning to work out on free weights and machine weights to either tone up the body or max out for those huge muscles.

The 1987 Echo Staff is dedicating this year's year- book to the memories of Tom and Doug. Tom Ward died June 24, 1986 in an auto accident. He attended St. A's Kindergarten through 8th grade. His three years of high school were dedicated to football in which he played Center position. He was very Well liked and will be missed very much. July 9,1969 June 24, 1986 Remembering Tom ... We’ll remember with love the heart and the soul That made you such a joy- The typical teen-age love for life That made you an all-around boy. You teased, you smiled, and charmed us all And never refused a friend- For the years that we shared you, we thank you, Tom The memory will never end ... WE LOVE YOU EHSRHSEHSRHSEHSRBC ■“ RHSRHSKHSRHSRHSKI IN REMF.MBFRANCE OF DOUGLAS S. GRACE By Carrie Carter To go to his love is where he was going But he didn’t hear the train whistle blowing Today everybody in school is crying Because we have heard that Doug was dyin9 i • . ii He was in a coma, lying so still Thinking of it, up my spine sends a chill Some are upset and some couldn’t care To know what it’s like just lying there I did’t really know him, I’m sorry to say But I saw him with friends almost every day 1 don’t want to say that he’s already dead But I’m sorry to say it’s already been said No one knew what would happen to Doug if he made it And if it was real bad, if he could take it To hope for the best was all we could do But meanwhile everyone he knew will be blue I’d really hoped that Doug made it through Everything that he’d have to do When he woke up from his deep, quiet sleep To make sure that he could run and leap I hear that Doug was a really nice guy And I know there was no one who hoped he would die Doug, we’re so sorry that you had to die You’ve made almost the whole school cry Maybe in your death we can learn to live To care and share and love and give Into our lives, you’ve been a great part And you’ll always be with us deep in our hearts. It’s hard to forget that one sad night, As Doug went to see his girl. He ended his life the tragic way, It all is one big blurr. If only a few seconds later. He would never have had to die. Or leave his family and his friends. The thought just makes me cry. We pleaded on that Tuesday, Doug will you please just live. We love you a lot so don’t leave us. Remember all you had to give. Doug Grace was a treasured member of the class of ’87. He died in a tragic car-train accident on April 29, 1986. Doug was just beginning to live when it was brought to a sorrowful end. He is still loved and missed, and in his memory the class of 1987 would like to dedicate this yearbook. Although we will begin setting new goals and conquering new heights, he will remain close in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. November 17,1968, April 29, 1986 But then in the daytime of Tuesday, Our hearts were broken in two. We learned that your death had come. God Doug, we miss you. Now our friend has gone to rest, We hope you are at peace. We cry a lot that we miss you, It sure has made a crease. We all seem sad, we’re in a daze, Cause we love you a lot. Just remember that we love you, And in our hearts, a spot. We’re sorry it’s time to say goodbye. You’ll always be loved by us. And when we meet again some time, We promise we won’t make a fuss. Well, bye for now, we love you much, Doug, I wish you were here. To bring us joy and happiness. And wipe away the tears. By: Karen Keller Doug doing what he loved most. April 26, 1986.
