Richwoods High School - Excalibur Yearbook (Peoria, IL)

Registration day, August 30, 1977, was the be- ginning of another fabulous year. Students re- turned to RHS once again to obtain their sched- ules. calendars, and locker combinations. Some students who were unable to pick up their year- books on yearbook pick-up day were able to col- lect them. The sounds that echoed through the halls that day were familiar ones: the screams of a panicking freshman when his locker refushed to open, the know-it-all conversation of the sopho- mores as they tried painstakingly to appear upper- classmen, the easy laughter of the juniors when they’d sold an elevator pass to an unsuspecting vitim, and last but not least, the jingle of car keys as seniors raced out to the parking lot for one more afternoon of freedom. As school activities fell into full swing this year, enthusiasm and loyalty for our knights was once again rekindled. It seemed as if the excitement and spirit raised at our pep assemblies had never been greater. Signs of support for our knights soon started to dot the halls after members of the pep club began their poster parties in the empty corri- dors after school. Cheerleaders and royalcttes shouted and marched their support at the games, and fans cheered on to back our knights to victory. The genuine interest and faith everyone showed in our teams led them from one triumph to another. Rekindles School Spirit!!! 19
