Is RHS like you expected it to be? If not, in what way? “No, I expected to get lost all over the place, but after I found my classes it seems small. Edie Toney, soph “Yes, RIIS is like I expected. It is fun and you are always meeting new friends, but not only that, there are always activities to go to if you arc really interested. Kim Griffy, soph “No. Before I came to this school, everyday 1 would hear talk about what fun they had in school. The way they sound, something is always happening. I m here. Where is the fun?” Nancy Carpenter, soph “The first nine weeks I thought would be a lot harder. How ever, now it is beginning to be just as hard as I had hoped it w ould be David lleusel, soph “No. I thought 1 would have more (much more) friends because of the union of junior high schools, but it stayed about the same. People aren’t quite as nice. I’m happy with classes, though Julie Humphrey, soph “ It is not like 1 had expected in some ways. Most people are more friendly than I had anticipated. The classes are easier. Mary Miller, soph “Not really — I thought kids would have grown up since 9th grade, yet so many (guys in particular) are still quite childish in action and in words.” Rhonda Jo Rogers, soph “Yes, pretty much so. But the grading scale is higher than I was used to in junior high, maybe because of the courses I have signed up for.

Karen Schutte, soph “Everything you always wanted to know about RHS” is the ambitious goal taken up on this and the following pages of the 1973 Pierian. Many questions have been answered by the stalf in reporting on activities and organizations and people involved w ith RHS during the school year 1972-73. What students feel about school and activities is reported on this page and on division pages at the start of each section of the book. Every student answered three or four questions in English class in November. The best of these answers were selected for use here. Sometimes the answers reflect general opinions of many students, sometimes they are only a small sampling of total thought on the particular question. We hope we have answ ered most of your questions about the who, what, why, and how of Richmond High School in 1973. Introduction 5
