Students living in and around the Riehmond cit limits took advant- age of scfiool bus lines. Amm One look at the number of cars parked along Whitewater Boulevard during school could confirm the fact that many RHS students drive a car to school. In fact the old student parking lot become so crowded in recent years that parking spaces were painted up and down the Boulevard last year to hold the over- flow. For those who didn ' t drive a car to school there were various ways to make the daily trek. Most non-driving stu- dents either come on one of the country busses or were dropped off by a parent at school. A few students rode city bus lines to the high school while a greater number caught them home. Those who drove motorcycles to RHS were easily distinguished by the helmets they carried to class. These vehicles proved to be great playthings in the park- ing lot when spring arrived. Energy crisis hit all of America in- cluding RHS ' ers. Most students carried on as before, although a few formed car pools to reduce gasoline consump- tion. Bicycles were a popular form of transportation in nice weather and also conserved energy. And then there were those who walked to school, man ' s first and simplest way to move from place to place.
