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.

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.
