Richmond High may not at first seem to be the kind of high school one would call notorious”, but a closer look shows many things for which RHS is well known. The word notorious”, according to Webster's Dictionary, is defined as I. generally known and talked of: 2. widely known, celebrated.” The first and most recognizable notorious” thing about RHS is our far-famed basketball team and their enormous home playing court, the Tiernan Center. As the 88 seniors graduate, they have seen the basketball team go to State for two of the last four years. The Red Devils have also made RHS known among the nation as one of the top basketball teams. The Tiernan Center also provides the space needed to hold the 80004- fans which watch this notorious” team play. P. 4 FAST TIMES AT RICHMOND. The full color opening section of the book covers the beginning of the 87-88 school year. The bright color pictures of the Home coming parade and dance, the band, the students, and of course our notorious Woody Austin, come across in the true color as we remember them happening. Looking closer at the crowd, one finds the great spirit the RHS student body has. Our notorious” Bleacher Creatures cheer on the team and help the cheerleaders get the fans going. The seniors at our school are also notorious” for being the first class to start at RHS as freshman and go through four years of high school. Before the class of ’88. ninth graders were top men at middle school, but now freshman are the notorious low men on the totem pole.

Fast Times Homecoming is always one of the most anticipated weekends of the year. October 1-3 was a weekend of excitement and rock-n-roll. but also disappointment. In other words the days were Fast Times At ■Richmond High” and the weekend lived up to its name. The annual parade started off the activities Thursday night with a special appearance as Grand Marshall by former L.A. Ram (and former RHS student) Lamar Lundy. Kicking off the pep rally was Mr. Mike Rodal smooching the sow. The football team was introduced and A.J. Hendrix and Missy Bender were crowned the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen. To wrap up the pep rally activities, the girls’ powder puff football games were played. The freshmen tied with the sophomores and the juniors upset the seniors . Friday night was the big game, and the only disappointment of the 1987 Homecoming events. The Red Devils lost to the Lafayette Broncos 28-21. The juniors ride the wave on their prize-winning float during the parade. (Photo by D.G.)
