what did RHScrs do with their time when they were not in school? In many ways they were like teenagers around the nation, study- ing, going to movies, participating in school activities. In some ways they weren ' t like other teenagers. Richmond is a small city and local entertainment is minimal. Where to see RHSers on weekend nights? Ouise around Frisch s, McDonald ' s, and pizza joints. After games and on dates kids eventually stop by one of the local hangouts to eat, listen to music, and talk to the ever-changing crowd. However, Richmond is only short distances from larger cities. Davton, Cincinatti, In- dianapolis, and Oxford offered concerts, shop- ping centers, and infinite cultural events for RHSers weary of movies and bowling ever weekend. As for week nights and Sundays, the routine seldom changed. Whether students studied or not, few could go out. Watching TV and listening to records passed the time for home- bound students. On Sundays, some RHSers attended church, some xyorked, and some sl pt in. : i5 • jfe ' Part of the Life with Father cast, Dave Fulle and Tony Cooper discuss their intimate plot in Civic Theatre comedy.
