Richmond High School - Pierian Yearbook (Richmond, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1986 volume:

1986 PIERIAN Richmond Senior High School Whitewater Blvd. Richmond, Indiana Volume 77 D6VILS DO Dare to be different, stick to tradition, upset conformity, abide by the rules, question authority and hitch their wagons to the highest of stars. If there's one thing a student, a teacher, an administrator or a guest notices immediately about Richmond High School is that it dares to do, dares to move on issues, jump to action, stir the water! While always a school of tradition, from its campus to its classes, Devils dare to move from tradition and try new things. Richmond High School was the first in Indiana to send student delegates to the Soviet Union, and over breaks throughout the year, others were flying around the world, from Europe to Japan to Centerville to Florida to Dayton to Los Angeles. And when not transcending national boundaries, Devils dared to blaze new trails at home Student Congress worked throughout the state to have school codes changed, while at school committees worked on subjects as varied as bookbanning to refining the cheerleader selection process. From work to play to study to devilment, the mood of the Devils in the year of 85-86 was dare to do. GIVE ME AN R . Chris Desmone proving RHS spirit runs eternal in the changing heart. THE WINDOW ON THE LEFT IS MR LEBO'S. RHS students at the Kremlin feel, Today the commons, tomorrow the world. DEVILS EXHIBIT EXUBERANT EXHILERATION As the long, hot days of summer drifted into the Indian days of autumn, the RHS student body indulged in the age-old festivities and customs of Homecoming. To commence the weekend of devilment, Hi-Y sponsored its annual Homecoming parade. For the second year in a row, the parade route began at the Municipal Swimming Pool and ended at Lyboult Field. The parade featured Grand Marshall Charlie Hilton, class floats, a S.A.D.D. float, the RHS marching band and, of course, the football teams, cheerleaders and candidates for Homecoming king and queen. The sophomore class won the float competi- tion, and girls honed their football abilities in a game of powder puff ball while the guys worked on their skills as cheerleaders on the sidelines. The spirit of tradition reigned supreme for the evening, but was also the place for new and exciting exhibitions of RHS oomph. ILLEGAL?

OPENING FLOOD GATES Homecoming festivities got the football season off to a bang: the spark and enthusiasm of the crowd helped to propel the Varsity team to a perfect 8-0 record in the North Central Conference and ranked 4th in the State in final polls. Head Coach Ken Jordan and assistants 5 CHEERS FOR QUEEN CANDIDATES. Natalie Wo-gers, Leigh Torbeck, Michelle Long, Jessica Howard, and Shem Dillon cheer the Devils. Gary Wier, Richard Bryant, Joe Helrung, Steve Moore and Jim Hardman moved the team to numerous successes, all of which were previewed and hoped for in those early, cool days of autumn and homecoming.

MOB RULE RHS Student Body raises the Devil at homecoming pep rally. 7 RISING TO THE SEASON: FALLING INTO LOVE Hi-Y sponsored its dance of tradition, Homecoming, with an 85 theme of Fall into Love. The dance was one of the most attended in homecoming history, as freshman for the first time broke early bird jitters and headed for the festivities. Duane Flood and Natalie Wagers reigned over the affair, which supplied ample amounts of free-for-all dancing and moments with close ones. In all fashions, the night was danced away to the enjoyment of all in attendance. A ROYAL DUANE IN THE DANCE. Homecoming King Duane Flood and escort Jennifer Perkins preside over the Royal Fest 8 PARTY AT DEHNER'S!” Couples Kevin McDowell, Kelly Skinner, Sharon Hilton and Ray Brewer are glad to hear the night is still young. LET YOURSELF GO. An up tempo song allows dancers to get their exercise MENTALLING OFF IN NEVER-NEVER LAND Do Jack Humphrey and Karen Buchheit really know where they are? 9 THAT CRIMSON SPIRIT SOARS AT PEP ASSEMBLIES There is a certain thrill that transcends watching a team in competition: the thrill of egging, prompting and cheering them on. As the 1985-86 Varsity Football Team moved into Sectional-Regional play, pep assemblies were abound, always full of energy and power, and never without humor and good grace. While the playing field moves of the Team, often dubbed the Bruise Brothers accounted for much of the success, the off-field excitement and drive of the fans behind the team never ceased to inspire and move them to greater feats and victories. WORTH ADMISSION? Senior Scott Kern and iu nior Annette Reeves indulge in sport. NEXT STOP? NICARAGUA Spirited guys cheer the Devils while prepping for the Draft. MADRIGALS IN RECESS.

HAYDN AND HASH BROWNS Madrigal singers knock off half an hour of uninterrupted, free entertainment. WHAT NEXT? Ben Miller and Mitch Kraemer paste on the duh-masks for this one, as a learned helper goes for the assist. SECRET INGREDIENT Amy Johnson and Paul Snow prepare secret additive for the pancake batter.

Five RHS Seniors, presenting a ten minute performance based on private papers, portrayed in competition the triumphs and tragedies of Southern Reconstruction. Garnering a 97 and 99 in state competitions, the team proceeded to Maryland, where it received a 98 at Nationals. Due to a judge's error in tabulation, however, the team was kept from the Final Round. They were later awarded National Medals and given a proclamation by the Governor of Indiana, Robert D. Orr. Their interpretation of history proved to be just one more example of RHS drive and spirit leaving its mark in the books. GEORGE SLEPT HERE Washington's home was one of many interesting sights DESPERATELY SEEKING VICTORY. Holly Ogren, Ron Stier, Jennifer McJunkin, Joe Kraemer and Eric Ruger put it plain to the iudges. IS IT LIVE? Eric Ruger scaling the Washington Monument on a bet 16 AUTOGRAPHS SEtilORS READY TO ROLL Senior Lisa Stephens prepores to rock her weekend owoy. THE MAKING OF A SENIOR TAKES THOUGHT AND CARE AND GRACE, BUT SENIORS ARE NO MOMENT, SENIORS ARE A PLACE. All students who pass through the halls of RHS, at one time or another, think upon the day when they will be the big men on campus'': the seniors. But one has to actually BE a senior to realize what all one has lived through to reach the summit, and to summon the courage to look bravely down the road left to travel. When you're a senior you've truly lived a good portion of your life — you've laughed, cried, worked, contemplated and, most of all, come to terms. A senior realizes that he or she is not living a quick thrill , but is poised, uncertain, at the foot of an intimidating hill: a hill we may all not be king of, as we are as seniors. But all those graduating prepare to ascent, forever seeking the future, yet always conscious of its endearing past. — Joe Kraemer MICHELE ABNEY — Orchestra. Dennis PAMELA F. ABRAMS; Pleasant View.

If hindsight is 20-20,1 recall foremost of my junior year the relief and satisfaction that I felt when I realized that, at long last (11 years long last), I had almost reached the end of school education, and I could hardly wait to get to my senior year. However, a point will honestly come when the junior, on the brink of both senior and adulthood, will long for the safe days, nestled between youth and later responsibility, when the time was ripe for study and fun, friendships and parties. So to all juniors, enjoy. And if anyone ever learns how to start the sprinkler system in the cafeteria, it would certainly cause enough confusion to begin a maior food fight. (At 2:00 in the morning, juniors, you'll find thoughts coming to you like that.) — Joe Kraemer Krista Adams Ernest Albertson Troy Alcorn Victoria Allen Michelle Anderson Mike Andrioli Christopher Andrews Philip Ansel Andy Apple Leonne Apple Morris Armsteod Andrew Bailey Brenda Bailey Rob Bailey Joann Baker Carol Balthis Brian Bane Ronald Barber Barry Barker Robbie Baughman Suzanne Baumer James Bednorz Angela Bell Ellen Bell Linda Bender Lori Beniamin Kyle Benner Burton Bennet Angie Bentley Scott Bergfield Alison Bing Carolyn Black Laura Black Timothy Black Thaila Bland Juniors 53 Betty Blevins Brad Blevins Dara Boardman Pamela Boatman Steve Booker Beniamin Borden Suzanne Boudreau Kim Brant John Breckenridge Stephanie Brewer Kimberly Bright Laura Bright Brenda Broege Richard Brouse Patrick Brown Theresa Brown Sharon Bruce Mark Brunton Cecil Bryant Gary Bryant Jerry Bryant Karen Buchheit Ronald Buck Brian Buckler Brian Bulla Stephen Burkett Holly Campbell Robert Campbell Aimee Carter Tracy Carter Tammy Chosteen Tracie Childers John Claiborne Andy Clark Betty Clark Mike Clark Scott Clark Bobbie Clarke THE CARNIVAL.

And seeing as how it's been so long since I've been a postfreshman myself, and that I also have a major economics project due, I will shorten my memoir and leave space for all up-and-coming upperclassmen to fill in, for themselves, their ideas of what it means to be a sophomore: (in 20 words or less). And as a parting thought from Alexander Pope's WINDSOR FOREST: Thus, if small things we may with great compare. Ponder that on your road to the greatness of seniorhood and maturity.

As a Freshman, I couldn't even say high school without turning green. I remember the first day in gym class thinking, I probably couldn't be with a more hateful group of staring creeps if I were condemned to one. But ah, youth! A day arrives when the opinions of others are secondary to the interests of yourself, and you will find people longing to work beside you and not against you (the yearbook is not a good example). As I have and shall, you will also make mistakes, learn new things and regret things you've done, but all frosh eventually learn that life is short and full of lessons, and you only have so much time to shop. Go.

Freshman 89 THE TEACHING OF THE SHREW As I prepare to leave for Chicogo, I recall Sarah Austin's translation of Jonathan Uhland's THE PASSAGE: Take, O boatman, thrice thy fee; Take, — I give it willingly; For, invisible to thee, Spirits twain have crossed with me. What a one for translations Sarah Austin was, and what a knack for translating our teachers must possess to pass on the messages of education. In H.G. Wells' THE OUTLINE OF HISTORY, Wells said, “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catostrophe. As instructors, our teachers bear the all-important task of educating the youth and preparing them for the future, while they face the trials of handling students who have parked in their reserved parking spaces to cut an early lunch.

Faculty Staff 97 FieFiDemics CONFORMING TO ACADEMIA AT RHS When I was reminded by my Pierian adviser that six sections of the yearbook were due in eight days, I recalled two things. First, I knew it had taken upwards to 20 people eight months to finish six sections of the yearbook last year, and that 20 X 2 sets of hands wouldn't be that bad. Second, I remembered the idealism of John Milton in his epic PARADISE LOST: What reinforcement we may gain from hope, if not, what resolution from despair. I then realized Milton rhymed with Hilton, and that that was where I wished I was vacationing in Paris instead of sulking before six sections of layouts. Somehow, the knowledge of the needed but the inavailability of action sums up the Academic Experience not only at RHS, but indeed, throughout the world. Yet, there still remains a sore need for academic growth: in language, science, so- cial studies, mathematics and the like, for the world is based on human understanding, and human understanding on education; world chaos is based on human misunderstandings, and human misunderstandings of ignorance. In one experience you may find hope, in the other, despair. An education will tell you which is which. All quotes copyright — Joe Kraemer. PLUS NITROGLYCERINE.

COMMUNIQUE COMMONIQUAE Dryden once said in a miscellaneous prologue, Errors like straws upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls must dive below. How appropriate Dryden's words are now, particularly after The Police reunited at the Amnesty 86 Concert, for language in many respects is a superficial means of communication. It takes true understanding and long study to fully appreciate the deeper values and refinements of any language, and thus translate more aptly the stunning beauties and rich traditions of that which sets the human organism apart: the ability to communicate.

Band officers were Dwayne Flood (Captain), Julie Ronan (1st Sgt.), Lori Lake (secretary) and Jack D. Humphrey (treasurer). Activities included summer band, band camp, and a knock-em-dead display at State Fair, where the band received 4th place. There was plenty of marching and playing, at home, at Earlham, and in spring and winter concerts, and lots of great fundraising activities. The officers in Mr. Burkhardt's orchestra were Ruth Mullen (President), Steve Booker (V.P.), Vicki Underhill and Jim Lewis (secretaries), Shelly Wentz and Chris Desmone (treasurers) and Tom Thomas (social). Mr. Wayne Fisher was director of Concert Band, Mr. Tim Love was director of Symphonic Band, and Mr. Stephen Varnell was director of Wind Ensemble, and, it is said, was rare in his instruction of rowdy band members to shut face , as Mr. Love was in his rating of mistakes as good kinds of mistakes. INTO THE GROOVE.

The Speech Team, once blue medalists from one of the State's largest schools, vanished. The Quiz Club remained in limbo. The Register, founded in 1898 and long-reported at odds with the yearbook, met its own dismal end after moving to after school hours. Not a single language club was to be found. Indeed, as the 86 budget threatened a direct assault on core curriculums themselves, the sorry fate of clubs at RHS seemed assured, documented only by a yearbook, since a club , whose own future fate seemed as in doubt as the whole of RHS Academia.

And while showing charity toward few (but malice toward fewer still), Richmond's national medalists left their mark in the record books, garnering near-perfect scores, and, I believe, placing first in the nation. It was an academic experience of the highest caliber, unique only to the hot, summer days of ' 1985. DON'T LOOK NOW.

I can say quite plainly now, 8-1-86, that after one solid year on one project, I have certainly learned something. Looking back, no, I would NOT do the yearbook again under these circumstances. I only agreed to do the PIERIAN because I needed another English credit, and ended up doing it because I've an incredibly terrible sense of duty, patriotism and responsibility. I apologize, and shall for years, for this book, but hope that it serves as a stark reminder of all that can and will happen in the face of cold and blatent apathy. Thanks, too, to yearbook adviser Vida Tharp, photographers Al Joco, Donnie George and Bruce Cornelison, and Mrs. Keller's writing classes and various people who assisted on the book: as Pope said, Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. RHS DRAMA — IGNITES Under the direction of Robert Sizemore and Wayne Fisher, RHS Drama soared again in 85, by presenting the drama, The Miracle SADD activities continued to soar throughout the 85-86 school year. The RHS SADD Chapter had 260 members in its second year with 60 students active, promoting public awareness on a variety of drug alcohol issues, and backing especially SADD Week , replete with a balloon release, button day, armband day and a variety of demonstrations to draw attention to the terrible, staggering problem of students and alcohol abuse. Members included Cynthia Strohmier, Nayana Patel, Christine Haworth, Angie Parks, Willow Bingham, Jerry Lady, Chris Chamberlain, Rick Watson, Heather Vogelsang, Michelle Clemente, Chris Gard, Stephanie Rohrdan, Kevin Combopiano, Joe Clemente, Tricia Hart, Tammy Hoffman, Nina Combopiano, Angela Lacy, Beth Darr, Tom Bailey, Tessa Cole, Jennie Stricklin, Matt Moore, Andy Bailey, Barb Sterling, Lisa Sterling, Teresa Mays and sponsors Mr. Bill Pend-ley and Priscilla Hawley.

RHS Drama sponsored a 100-plus trip of student 'actors' to Knightstown for on-location filming of the 50's-style basketball film, Hoosiers , (star Gene Hackman).

(Chris Desmone, Pres., Laurie Lingle, 1 st V.P., Kristin Perks, 2nd V.P., Amy Oler, Sec., Paula Snow, Treas.) proved a fit organization to try out a completely renovated McGuire Hall: a theatre promising much for drama study in the yrs. to come.

Practice lasted two hours once a week, and may involve anything from cheers to making signs for pep assemblies or other events. These spirit spreaders attend all major sporting events and some of them, at times, attend the not-so-major sporting events. Cheerleaders are under the same IHSAA rules as RHS athletes, and must be passing 4 solids to remain cheerleaders. The girls attend cheerleading camp each summer, and chose the U. of Kentucky in '85. A new policy for cheerleading selection, the 50-30-20 rating policy, was instituted after committee evaluation for the selection of future RHS spirit raisers. 116 Clubs VARSITY SQUAD Kim Logan, Angelo Helton, Natalie Wagers, Sherri Dillon, Michele Long, Shoron Hilton, Michelle Paraiso, Leigh Torbeck and Jessica Howard.

NHS Secretary Joe Kraemer delivers address The National Honor Society is a club dedicated to scholastic achievement and civic leadership. Membership in the Honor Society was altered to 3.6 in 1985, thus allowing hard-working students at all grade levels the chance to become an invitee. Approximately 50 seniors, 25 juniors and 30 sophomores belonged to the NHS in 85-86. Where once Honor Society meetings were numerous, new rulings that made clubs after-school events frustrated typical, large NHS projects. Again, the Honor Society would be required to weather another academic tempest amidst a sea of troubled priorities and purse strings.

Twenty-one Richmond High School sophomores and juniors were chosen in late February 86 to staff a Peer Information Center for Teens in the high school. In April, twenty hours of intensive training had been completed on the important decisions facing teenagers today, covering topics from teen pregnancy, drugs, alcohol and abuse. During the 5 weeks the P.I.C.T. was open, at the end of the school year, over 180 students sought information from Peer Helpers. 86 and beyond promised visits to all 4 middle schools, and further presentations on decisions all teenagers must face one day during their high school careers. Also planned were continued support, encouragement and information to students already in high school. The P.I.C.T. was and plans to be open before school, after lunch and through advisement study halls. Also forthcoming is the selection of 87-88 applicants who, it is hoped, will provide as successful a year as the P.I.C.T.'s first, under the direction of Sue Routson. RICHMOND STUDENTS REACH OUT.

As more become involved, it will continue to thrive and may, one day, gain national attention as organized sport. Benchwarming also contributes to the toning of many talents. For example, one needs a keen memory to recall all the cheers, and to remember that the name the coach is calling is not your own. Also, good eye-to-hand coordination is needed to maintain a healthy CPG (claps per game) average. Many RHSers in 85 achieved quota CPG for admittance in the National Benchwarming cahpter of Phi Slappa Clappa. Other requirements for a benchwarmer are the development of rear muscles (the most strained muscle in the sport). It helps to have friends to wave to and good lines like, The Coach is saving me till last ' As RHS grows bigger and its teams larger, benchwarming shall thrive until top graduates make it to the pros. — Terrence Donahoe and Joe Kraemer NOT IDENTIFIED JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL UNEMPLOYED CATCHER RHSer wonders how the pros moke a life of it WAY OFF Senior Brian Heigle takes a stab, but not much else, at a wild boll. YCflTUReS 1985 Enter Halley's Comet and The Class of 1986 The arrival of each school year reveals a class that stands clearly above their scholastic and social counterparts: that class is the senior class. In them, fellow students notice a presence, a distinction, an aura of pressing future and desire. Senioritis strikes in the spring, when the world is new and in movement, and seniors, realizing that, after 18 years, it's time to pack up and join the movement, grow restless in the tired routines and functions of settled life. Each school year finds at RHS a class of students matured, educated and longing to spread their wings; the spring of each year finds those wings stronger and itching to fly, and their masters ready to take to the air and see what the world offers to those who are brave enough to rise and embrace it, forever soaring, forever ascending, forever free. —Joe Kraemer TRADITION: Line forms outside of building for march into Tiernan Center Feoture Section 139 Class of ’86 is rarin’ to go ANXIOUS Doting parents, relatives and friends endure the heat, and yes, even discomfort to see the pomp and ceremony that will mean diplomas for graduating sons and daughters.

Saturday, April 19th saw 270 couples attending an event presided over by prom King Danny Allen and prom Queen Jama Cur-nutt, as Harvest Productions supplied music that turned the ballroom into a little bit of heaven for all— too short a while.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE 1985 saw the dawn of a revolutionary achievement in Richmond, and particularly at RHS. Citizens throughout the Richmond community joined together with representatives from Richmond High School and Earlham College (as well as area businesses and organizations) and partook in their own form of grassroots diplomacy , traveling half a world away to a country that covers half a world (1 1 time zones), the U.S.S.R. The trip, from December 2nd to the 18th, allowed students and teachers alike to view the world from behind the iron curtain: to see regular Soviet citizens in the metropolis of Leningrad, the capital PATTY-CAKE, PATTY-CAKE, KGB. Little Russian games are played to pass away the hours. NAME THAT MEAT. At dinnertime, visitors ask, Is it live, or is it Lassie? Is Mr. Bowers in doubt?

Musicians stood up hand in hand To save poor Africa's famine lands. Pete Rose shocked the world with his grandslam: He hit the baseball way past his fans. The judges were silent and made a little nod, Yes, he broke the record of Ty Cobb. Charles and Di swung through the U.S., While second son Andrew got in the Wedding Mess. Baseball soon died and went out of season. People were excited and football was the reason. There was a big guy named the Refrigerator, He captured the eyes of his fans and spectators. Everyone soon became aware Of his Superbowl Team, the Chicago Bears. Ronnie, Nancy, Mikhail and Raz shuffled off to Switzerland to start the summit talks. The years 85 and 86 Did not always have the most perfect list: A disease called AIDS began to spread, Taking Rock Hudson and leaving hundreds dead. It was the worst years for planes in the sky, And an earthquake down in Mexico saw far too many die. We said good-bye to Samantha Smith, the girl who kept the faith And took the Russian trip. A volcano went up in Columbia steam, and the Fall of Shuttle Challenger saw the end to a dream. It was a real tragedy, seven died, And the world left below gave a silent cry. But they discovered the Titanic, and saved the Achille Lauro, While the Mideast saw the birth of a suicidal bozo: Terrorism was the American Fear, And Quaddafi made the fear so near, and all too very clear. But Popular Papa Reagan said he had had enough, And like a page of Star Wars had Marines bomb his country up. And while we laughed and cried away the year, As Halley's Comet slipped through the atmosphere, We know we'll keep it all, from the fear to all the cheer. — Todd Irwin, Chris Koons and Dedrie' Johnson.

Backed with ' exceptional vigor in 85-86, the top sen-| iors of the graduating class of 86 were I honored for academic excellence, and in particular, for a high school career where I 3.5 or higher was achieved for overall I grade point average.

Stanley was inducted posthumously. Students were awarded with engraved class rings and a recognition dinner at Elks Country Club, in which the teacher that most influenced the recognized student was honored as well. The teachers, some who traveled from os far away as North Carolina, were given medals. Solly McNeill and a host of other concerned and highly-dedicated school officials led the continued campaign for awareness in education, and gave new force to advice of State School Superintender Dean Evans, who said at the dinner, a thermostat and not a thermomr Too many people today are therm eters, merely measuring what's hap| ing on the outside world instead of it encing what's going on.

Socrty 6r I lorlr Shtm Wteiic DiUa R J jr Bar riowafol Jtufal Mm - Jan The Richmond School Corporation has had the unique opportunity for 87 years of housing The Art Association of Richmond, the only public art museum to our knowledge to be housed in an operating high school. McGuire Memorial Hall was designed to provide gallery space for permanent and temporary exhibitions sponsored by the Art Association. The galleries have from 8 to 15 different exhibits each school year, which allows students to broaden their knowledge of all media of art. Students are welcome to visit the galleries and look around. The variety of art includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, crafts etc., and range from the heritage of the past to the contemporary of today. Two months a year, two galleries are turned into exhibits by and for students. One exhibit is an experiencing opportunity for grade school; while the other is an exhibit by the students of the high school to display the works they have done during the year. The high school exhibit provides the students an opportunity to display their talent and, at the same time, encourage prospective art students. Thousands of students yearly visit the galleries on their own or with classes. Referred to as a jewel in the desert by Phillip H. Babcock, Director of Risk Management for the Smithsonian Institution, the Art Association owns and maintains works of art which are nationally acclaimed. The William Merritt Chase Self Portrait purchased in 191 1 is considered to be the best work produced by this member of the top 10 American Impressionists. It took 5 years to receive the portrait after it was commissioned. Mr. Chase, because of this length of time, included much of his studio in the background and painted it for the Art Gallery in Richmond. The Tortoise Fountain by Janet Scudder was a gift to the art association in 1909. Four copies of this fountain were cast in bronze In the 1930's Mrs. Johnston, the founder and then director of the Art Association saw one of the four in a store in New York City. She was informed by the clerk that the copy in the store was the only one unsold of the four. She said the first one was in the Metropolitan Art Museum, the second in a garden in Long Island, and the third in some little town out West . When Mrs. Johnston informed her that Richmond was the town out West , the clerk remarked if so, you have something valuable . Indeed, the Richmond Senior High School does have something valuable to offer to students, the public, and the world. This value cannot be measured in terms of dollars. It is measured in terms of heritage, culture and the importance of the many works of art that grace the halls and galleries of the building. When the Chase Self Portrait was displayed at the Metropolitan Museum in 1983, Mr. Jim Pilgrim, Deputy Director of the museum and a graduate of Richmond High School stated I grew up with this painting . The connection between the School Corporation and the Art Association is one which benefits all students both now and in the years to come A quote by Ella Bond Johnson, a Richmond, Indiana woman, an early pioneer and motivator here in the art movement, says it all. The American high school is no longer a 'knowledge factory'. It is now a fountain-head of knowledge based upon the laws of economy and beauty as found only in aesthetics . 158 Galleries FOYER It contains pointings, ort objects, the Tortoise Fountain, doors to McGuire Hall, the main building, 4 galleries, the outside, and entry to two hallways to the art and music rooms, and 2 rest rooms. Graceful columns outside of front entrance hints of grace found inside. Very functional, yet very pleosing to the eye.

Student art show called one of the best displays Young talent is written all over the walls at the Art Association of Richmond’s gallery in McGuire Hall. In more than 200 works, the Richmond High School Student Art Exhibit gives an example of the art done in classes this year. “In the five years I’ve been here, this is one of the best shows, best examples of student works,’’ said Ruth Mills of the Art Association. “I’ve been amazed. ’ Among the crafts are mac-rame, pottery, sculpture, paint- ings and drawings. The exhibit opens Friday at a preview from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. High school musicians will entertain guests in the first such opening for a Richmond High School showing. Artists and their parents will greet visitors. After the preview, the exhibit will be featured until May 18. The Art Association, on Whitewater Boulevard, is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. A NATIONAL TRAVELING EXHIBIT: Unusual in design and materials.

Mountains blue, black, deep forest green Climbing high Forever stretching in every direction Eagles Wings spread, soaring to Where I want to be Dark against a blue sky Trees Growing for years Insects singing the song of nature This is my home. —Cindy Neff MIDNIGHT SYMPHONY A MIDNIGHT SONG —Kelly Shepard NATURE'S MIDNIGHT JAM-SESSION The cricketts were chirping endlessly, melodically, musically, as the voyager walked through the night. He was on a lonely mission known only to him, and he walked at a steady pace down the winding road. The owls hooted an irregular bass line as the frogs started in with a chirping cymbal ting. They started the beat to the nightlong concert. A howling dog unknowingly sang the first verse to this exciting, beautiful song. Then the wind added some background vocals as the trees shaped and changed them to harmony. For a moment I thought the lonely voyager hadn't heard this prelude to moonlight, but then, rhythmically, for the rest of the time he was in my view, I noticed he was clicking his heels and tapping his toes as he walked down the road, listening to the song of the warm summer night. Dank but Sterile somehow It stands; —the bus terminal. They cling; Last people Drawn together By common boredom —terminal fright. Even the overweight zombie, Maitre'd of Destination, Cares not Cares for nothing Pompously, smugly Staring at them at nothing An android Overthing Behind hard, cold glass Interface from their reality Separated from the someone—things. So where ya goin'P —metallic— Nowhere, and you? Hell That's nice. Comparing, Querying Life's interest Seems to be If anyone's like them Marineman, Indian, Baglady, Geek So what brings you here? —faked interest— Wishing to be elsewhere They persist to be hypocrites; They talk Silence they become When the talk dies dry death Consumes their stagnant minds But continuing to chatter on a conversation Ushered, rehearsed Heard millions of times over A veritable dictionary Of love lost, twisted fate and crossroads Time does not end Eternal waiting, reading, Foottapping, knucklecracking, Pacing and smoking A feast of the failed, Impatient and miserable, A cesspool of humanity wasted So Where yo goin'? Hell. —Brian Wyatt HEY Good things come to those who wait Bettei things come to those who don't Copyright Experimental Writer's Group, 8 18 86 UPLIGHTS —Joe Kraemer The only thing thot strikes me is that, Somehow, Things have this funny way of working themselves Up. Doesn't history seem to spiral to a point? People rise in age and ambition. Birds in flight, voices in song, trees to The Heavens. Cars speed up, cities go up, words add up— The moon and sun and stars somehow got up— And we all must get up to stay up in this Life, and hove gained some Infinity By being up. Higher bank accounts, higher cheekbones, Upper Manhattan, gifts that are opened Up— World powers are above the Equator, Politicians above their people, God above His Earth. As if fish soar beneath the sea. Or the manta ascends the height of ocean? Never! The world spins forward as Man moves West Over the Pacific and the Galaxy, evolving, Ever-upward, Forever bound for the fruit Forbidden: the sun upon which his eyes Cannot remain, and the stars that capture His Soul, and stunt with Their Immensity. As the mailbox and the eagle, The promotion and the paycheck, The happiness and the tree in spring. The music and the aeroplane, The weather, the Divine, The sweetness and the sorrow, The hopes, the age, the future, the dreams. The course of History, the life of Air, and The whole of Time Rise forever upward, eternally Higher, The climb will continue, via stairs or rocket, Unhindered and loyful, without regret and Filled with purpose, forever spiraling, rising, Rising Until that dismal hour when it foils Beneath this earth But ah', the design' For soil erodes, and thus will begin thot Eternal Ascent Into the Unending Wellspring Of height and glory, grandeur and state, Risened and Resigned like an eagle at rest In His mountain nest of safety, watch, and sweet repose. Just Say Good-Bye There were promises and lies So many times You mean so much to me You have to realize All the times I tried to love you Or just be close I know you tried to understand. And now, how can I let you go— Say good-bye— After we've come this far together? It's so hord to let go. All the fights and pain But we've come out on top Why does it have to end this way? They say it's better to have loved and lost Than to have never loved at all But I'd rather die than lose you now It's so hard letting go. So please don't cry when we part Because I couldn't live with it. Just say ... good-bye. —Michelle Mullins MORNING GORY O, the hangover returns Like a Hell Horse from Ages long past To stomp and storm Through the battlefield Of my fizzled brain. A mighty locomotive Racing on tracks of neurons Howls a howling whistle That ricochets and echoes Through the tunnels of my mind.

Many new events were held, like a concert by Zapp, the S.O.S. Band, and the '86 spring academic competition. The Center also hosted a SADD overnight, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading clinics, a jazz festival, RHS srs. Honors and Awards and commencement exercises. The RHS Music Department held it's yrly. Choral Festival there. Groups such as the Rich. Symph. Orch. have rented the Center for their events. The RSO sponsored the Ind. Colts vs the Cinn. Bengals basketball game. The 135,000 sq. ft. bldg, has seating for 7,929. There are indoor track facilities, 2 tennis courts, a 57' x 38' weight training rm., 6 basketball crts. 12 volleyball crts. FRESHMAN FURY . .

P.E goers make the most of Tiernan facilities NETTE Girls use Tiernan space for games of volleyball A SCULPTURE HAPPENING The areas in and around Tiernan Center are used for any number of odd tasks and classes, but none so ingenius or peculiar as a recent sculpture happening , new to RHS in 85. Pauline Ronald's art class ventured into the realm of true sculpture form when, under the instruction of Richmond sculptor Greg Hull, trashbags were taped together, filled with air and formed into a giant hand, jeans and shirt and a tunnel. Mr. Hull felt that such a happening gave young RHS artists a better view a sculpture takes from its image on paper to physical form in space. Space was just what the Tiernan Center had to offer for yet another search into the experimentation that true education is and must be to truly leave its mark on the student. HAND JIVE. Pauline Ronald's art class goes through the necessary steps to bring sculpture alive, as small student tunnels thru knotted plastic passageways, and makes his own exit hole. When the year began, they said there would be no yearbook. I was a senior, and wanted a yearbook. I followed the timeworn advice, If you want something done right, do it yourself.” Thus, I drew and wrote layouts and copy to almost all of this book, forsaking much of my life in the process. I can already hear the cries of those who will call this book, stupid”, and to those people I reveal the intention behind the announcement I had placed on the speaker every day for one year, 1985-86: There will be a mandatory Pierian Meeting today for all students interested.” That message was for you, guys. Now if you want something done right, you can be editor for a day. Heck, you can be editor for a year if you like. But my humor remains, as do pictures, as does life, as will the yearbook. As will Connie. TRIBUTE TO CONNIE In her high school career, Connie Williams came to represent all the attributes of the career-oriented senior, the upwardly—mobile person. Connie first hit public eye in the hit pseudo production, JUDY ON PURPOSE, playing the part of estranged cousin Tempest Diamond. Connie served on the Pres. Commission for the Preservation of ANZUS (the Australian, New Zealand, United States Pact) and went varsity in team chess. Overcoming many obstacles, Connies ambition proved her greatest asset, helping her to pen her soon-to-be published biography BORN AGAIN, and set her on her way to an as yet uncertain film career with TriStar Productions in a Lee Remick remake, YANKEE MY DOODLE, BOYS. To the many she has inspired with her deep humor and rich achievements, Connie Williams will always be more than a teen mystery, a true friend, to all who knew her, she will always be just . . .

What and how much you learn depends on you, and how much you're willing to give in return. No one knows that better than Joe Kraemer and me. What we've learned from this yearbook gives us a healthy respect for yearbook advisors and staffs of the past and the future. With the absence of help at the ■ — end, except for Herff Jones material, we hope we've done justice to the yearbook in general, and the ad department in particular. We have the utmost respect for, and appreciation of, support from our advertisers, and hope they ore pleased with our efforts and remain as future supporters. We wish to thank Ralph Pyle, Bill Wallace, Dave Geier, Larry Glaze, the Palladium-Item, and school photographers for the photos needed, Rick Moore for the cover design, dividers and other artwork, Jimm Grimm for providing computer lists for the album sections, 'slim acres' for tribute to the graduating class, and Larry Glaze for his help and patience with o less than ideal situation for a yearbook — a totally neophyte staff — including me. Special, too, were Mr. Brist for his trust and encouragement, Gloria Maurer and Betty Peterson for help in securing information and material. Finally, we appreciated all teachers and staff who co-operated with us when we asked for something from them. Despite the frustration, it has been a real learning experience It's been fun. — Vida Tharp 4 Advertisements 177 p a r Shots • i n 9 RICHMOND'S Beautiful Glen Miller Park observed it's 100th birthdoy in '85.
