Cheerleaders work very hard to get the crowd enthusiastic and supportive about their Devils. As tension rises during the games, fans become very excited and rowdy. Many die-hard fans never miss a game, these people often motivate the fans as much as the cheerleaders. When you are up in the stands watch- ing your basketball team in your mighty Tiernan Center you suddenly have an overwhelming sense of pride about living in Richmond and being a Red Devil. School loyalty and support is what spirit is all about. Going to a Richmond basketball game is the definition of spir- it.

f. .Jt ]«i- The rafters of Civic Hall rocked once again the night Phil Dirt and the Dozers came to town. The music of Beach Boys, Platters, and Jan and Dean was once again brought to life. Local businessmen helped organize the dance to raise money to rejuvenate Civic Hall. Children 6 to 60 crowded the gym floor for an old-fashioned Sock Hop. After the basketball game all Dev- ils ' fans gathered across the way for an evening of old time rock and roll. The evening progressed with adults and students mingling together to do such dances as the Stroll, the Twist, the Jitterbug and the good ol ' slow dance. Laurie Lingle, Beth Focht, and Kelly Skinner should be twistin the night away instead of Wal- kin like an Egyptian. Rock and Roll Lives RHS students relive old time rock and roll. An American Masterpiece, Mr. Alexander dances his way out of RHS. Stephanie Shute and friends sign Phil Dirt ' s Book of Love. Sock Hop 13
