Terrific Talents There was no doubt that Richwoods High School students were not short of talent. Many students shared similar hobbies and interests while other hob- bies were more unique. Numerous students worked on perfecting their talents since early childhood. Junior David Sherman had been playing the piano since the age of four. Although many students had a busy schedule being a student and holding after school jobs, most made the time to do something they really enjoyed. Missy Hel- iums stated, In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis, golfing, and photography. Sophomore Kristen Hal- vorson had been horseriding for ten years and was a member of the Heart of Illinois Pony Club. Some students considered applying their talents toward a career. Junior Jenny Meister added, I really like go- ing to cosmetology school. Lore Clovis, who was an aerobics instructor at Beachy Keen, commented, I really like being an aerobics instructor because it makes me feel good to know I help make people feel good about themselves. Senior Maynard Wade, who composed music, performed an original com- position at the in-school assembly. Freshman Michelle Keen commented, Being in the Miss Teen of Illinois pageant was a really good experience; I met a lot of people and had a great time! Michelle had to perform four songs and dance routines. Artist Jim Kenney, who was a finalist in the National Scholastic Art Show, stated that although he enjoyed art as a hobby, I am not sure if I wish to pursue a career in art. Most of these talented students agreed that they had to put in a lot of time and effort to develop their talents, but the end results were rewarding. Seniors Scott Marsho and Dick Williams proudly display their trophies they won in the Willow Knolls tennis tournament. Michelle Keen is a Peoria finalist in the Miss Teen of Illinois pageant on June 20, 1986. 22 Student Life Wendy Koury and Beth Borgia enjoy dancing at D D Dance Studio and arc ready to perform in their recital.
