EVERYBODY CROWDED the cafeteria on July 9 to sign 1975 Pierians. Vicki Hawley writes a few lines to a friend at the Pop-In. SELF DISCIPLINE and intense concentration are demonstrated by Marty Mustin during 1975 8and practice on Test Field in July. “Summer is a time for involvement was the attitude of many students. Activities ranged from camps and conventions to conferences to traveling. Fifty-three students participated in the third annual Orchestra camp, Aug. 21-24, at Tri-State College to prepare them for future musical endeavors in the year. 203 Marching Band members travelled to North Webster to attend a week-long camp to learn routines and prepare for the State Fair Band Contest Aug. 20, in which they ranked 7 out of 54 entrants. Most members felt they could have done better if the condition of the field had been more favorable. This was the 11th consecutive year that RHS finished in the top 10. Students not musically inclined but wanting something to occupy free time joined the motorcycle safety course taught for the first time by Mr. Charles King, Boston JHS teacher. Erick and Pete Laine were representatives to Boys' State June 7-14 and Indiana State University, and Loretta Hogan, Ronna Lebo, and Lynda Orr were delegates to Girls' State June 15-22. Delegates learned about problems of government and political system. Janice Chavers and Gary Cobine went to Indiana University at Bloomington June 15-27 fora workshop to prepare for staff positions on The Register. Seniors Ann Hamm and Melissa Jenkins spent 8 weeks in Mexico, attending school for 5 days a week. The only language they were allowed to speak was Spanish during the 2-month period. 12—Summer

GUARDING THE HALLS. Mr. Ken Bottorff and others spend club time keeping halls cleared, proving to be just another hassle for students. BERLIN WALL, appropriately named by many students, was considered a hassle by anyone trying to stand leisurely awaiting teachers after eating lunch 4th hour. What a Ihass 0 The Berlin Wall? The Cage? This was one of the heavier complaints of students. This wall, located in the cafeteria, was so dubbed by students herded into this area after finishing their lunches. One of the other joys was the teachers that were in the hallways to prevent groups from forming between periods. Local municipal employees were also popular occurances at RHS. Mr. John Lebo sometimes accompanied our friends in blue to prevent trouble and to watch out for students missing class. Racial and riot trouble were held to a minimum, thanks to the prevention group, whoever they were. Experiences with the new attendance policy in which letters of recognition were sent home after 3,7, and 11 absences were also considered a hassle by most. Three tardies were also considered as one absence. What a bummer! Everyone complained because the food in the cafeteria left a lot to be desired. Snow and ice wasn't an unusual occurance during the winter months at RHS. Jan. 8 heavy snow closed the school and Feb. 5 and 6 freezing rain accomplished the same vacation for students. POLICE PROTECTION-This familiar sight tends to give students a hassled instead of a secure feeling. 14-Hassle
