)N-SOAKED SWIMMERS Rick Klemann, Pete Geler, igle Smith, and Randy Albano have a cooled- f rap session at the Westslde Splash Club. A round of fun in 86 days It took so long to get tiere, then all of a sudden it was gone again. Those 86 days of carefree fun and hard work just didn ' t last long enough. Students took advantage of the sunshine and hot weather by en- joying swimming, water skiing, bik- ing, boating, and baseball, to name a few sports and activities. Others courageously endured almost 35 to 40 hours of work a week, with summer nights providing their time of relaxation. School activities persisted as RHS students desiring to further their knowledge and skills in special fields attended seminars and work- shops throughout the country. Topics and areas of interest in- cluded chemistry, art, music, math, journalism, and Indiana State Uni- versity summer session. Band and the cheerleaders took time at camps to prepare themselves for the state fair and upcoming football season. 50 teachers devoted their time and energy to the task of instruct- ing 936 students in summer courses. Five members of the fac- ulty made use of their artistic abili- ties to help with the painting of hall- ways, rooms, Civic Hall railing, and the cafeteria, just to mention part of their endeavors. Members of the faculty and stu- dent body departed from Richmond altogether for the summer. English teacher Mrs. Margaret Menning ven- tured to the USSR with her husband for the summer months and the fall semester. Sue Keller. Mike Hatcher, and Kim O ' Maley traveled to France, Mexico, and Switzerland, respectively, where they gained an experience of a lifetime by learning of foreign culture first hand, using skills learned in language classes.

FIRST TIME — An optional assembly held after classes involved awards for all fall athletes. The event was the first to include girls and boys together. Mrs. Mary Liz Miller addresses the sparse audience. PULL ON — A tug of war between male teachers and cheerleaders gave fans a good laugh during a spring pep assembly. The prize to the victorious cheerleaders was a chance to see the teachers wallow in the mud used as a cross-over line. Enthusiasm drops but pep goes on- Assemblies were fewer in number and proved to be less enthusiastic throughout the year. To emphasize the principle of student responsibility, assemblies of academic or athletic interest were on an optional attendance basis and conducted during the 5th hour. Three pep assemblies helped to lighten scholastic loads and kept fans in the mood for sporting victories. 18 Assemblies
