RHS catches the wave in the 1987-1988 school year. On August 31, 1987, began an- other exciting school year. Thanks to the JTPA, Mr. Bauman, and many others, students arrived to a school that had been repainted, repaired, and restored. Everyone got settled into their lock- ers and classes, at least for a day. The teacher’s strike gave the students an extra thirteen days of summer. School eventually resumed on September 14, 1987. The strike caused a change in the school calendar. To make up for the days missed, three days were taken off of our Christmas vacation. Also, our winter break was cancelled com- pletely. Three days were added to the end of the year, causing the grad- uation date of the seniors to be June 12. Our school got spruced up in many different ways. First, the main offices and the science department were equipped with new computers. Also, our school began a new food program called Canteen. This came as an im- provement to the ever-famous cafe- teria food. Several new members of staff and faculty made their debut at RHS dur- ing the first semester. The first and tiniest arrival was Jordan Lynn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart. Also, we received many new coaches for our football, basketball, and volleyball teams. And the vacancy in the school administration was filled by Mr. Nick Conti, who became our new vice prin- cipal. Plans went into action in prepara- tion for the Richmond Homecoming. Students showed their spirit by build- ing floats that were creative and im- aginative. The festivities of Spirit Week were enjoyed by a large per- centage of the students and teachers. On October 30, Richmond High School celebrated its 2nd annual Hal- loween dress-up contest. Students and teachers dressed in funny and unusual costumes. Everyone who participated had an interesting time. And so, another year begins. The Richmond Blue Devils have caught the wave, and have been sailing at the top ever since. Mr. Curtis welcomes everyone to RHS. Mr. Jakubiak works hard to beautify our school. Mr. Bauman keeps our school in tip-top shape.
