TO THE CLASS OF 1971: This year Richmond High School students used a slang expression “getting it all to- gether’. This term was applied to parties, school work, production, athletic events, and one’s personal affairs. It seems appropriate, therefore, to acknowledge that RHS Seniors DID get it all together this year. The student body got together as one, as we lost our North and South campus designations. The class- rooms finally got together, as construction was completed for the most innovative school plant in California. Teachers and students devel- oped a renewed school pride that was very special to 1970-71, the year each Richmond Oiler “got it all together’. Sincerely, DEE MERRITT ike t 4 MRS.
