Students do it all From seven in the morning until three in the afternoon, rooms 81 through 324 beckon students to enter and learn something new. Some students enter eagerly, wanting to know what books, teachers, and peers can contribute in their search for knowledge. Others enter reluctantly-they’d rather be sleeping in, playing basketball, or doing just about anything other than sitting one more hour in a boring classroom. Some hurry into these rooms to catch a minute of final review; others linger in the halls until the last second to talk with a favorite friend. A short break from class routine is the lunch period. Then students calm noisy stomachs, catch up on morning gossip, or complete homework for afternoon assignments. And when the tmal three o'clock bell rings, rooms are left to themselves; only paper in the wastebasket or on the floor and marks on the chalkboard remain to tell of the day’s occupants. BLINDED BY THE LIGHT-Scnior Billy Joe Shouse proves his skill in welding by demonstrating the proper technique. REFRESHING—Sophomore Susanna Werner swims for fun and practice during phys ed class. AT EASE—Stu Thomas and substitute teacher Rae Kitchel take time out during their busy day to converse and read the paper in teachers’ lounge. 8 Student Life

Big Bands Come to town Marching right into the hearts of the Richmond Community, the University of Wisconson band stopped overnight on its way to Columbus, Ohio. The band brought a special touch that only a Big Ten band could add to RHS homecoming festivities. This was the first Big Ten band to come through Richmond since 1961. Throughout the game the 280-member Wisconson band paid tribute to Richmond, various sections serenaded the crowd, and the pom-pom girls cheered Richmond High to victory by performing little dance routines with the help of the percussion section. The band’s performances at halftime and after the game included an Ohio formation and a Marcel Marceau routine. All evidenced musical and marching excellence. We thank Mr. LaCrone, Mr. VarneU’s college music teacher, and his wonderful group for adding extra grand touches to a memorable homecoming game. The RHS band helped with the homecoming festivities by participating in the parade and performing a pre-game and post-game routine. Band members also enjoyed getting better acquainted with the Badgers by entertaining them overnight. On and off the field it was a fun experience. SPECTACULAR PRECISION-Visiting Wisconsin marching band shows its “Stuff” after RHS homecoming game. ALL THAT GLITTER!—Devilettes add several new and sparkling touches to their already catchy routines. 10 Homecoming
