 What did you think on August 29 when you came back to Richwoods? Same school, same rules, same people, same school lunch ... B-O- R-l-N-G? For most students, excluding the freshman class, who braved high school halls for the first time, this was the case. The new year meant the same routine with only a couple small changes in different classrooms and teac hers. But take another look. There were more vari- ations. Although they didn't realize it, the Rich- woods Knights were already MOVING WITH THE CHANGES! During high school there are many changes students make, whether it is in personality, looks or just moving locations. A few of the transformations many students made were: get- ting a driver's license, removing braces, starting to date, becoming more involved in school and taking on more responsibility. Each class faced different challenges. Fresh- man year, famous for innocence about the fourth floor and elevator passes, offered the biggest change. Sophomores felt the glee of hopping into Mom and Dad's car, or their own, and driving off into the sunset with a driver's license close at hand. Juniors looked to spring as the season for not only nice weather, but for ACT's and SAT's. Finally, the seniors spent their time pouring over college brochures or job ap- plications, and counting the days until gradu- ation. The 1986-87 school year offered the Knights changes in school policies and administrators. Shorts, that came down to the knees, were per- mitted, much to the delight of the student body. The new detention policy; however, didn't thrill many. One could find students serving time for tardiness or for forgetting to bring their books to class. In the administration new people were added. Mr. Ulrich became the new dean, with Mr. McCormick as the new ad- ministrative assistant. Additions were also made in some activities. Student Council planned after-game dances and started a suggestion box. New clubs, such as German Club; Jets, a physics club; and Potpourri Club, a sign language club, were started for stu- dent's interests. Moving With The Changes was chosen for the theme of the 1986-87 yearbook because it reflected the pattern of our year.

SUdciiC Ai e Life After 2:25 Although the six and a half hour school day took its toll, RHS stu- dents found that there was life after 2:25. At the end of the day, 1,450 students flooded out of the front doors, sporting everything from ripped jeans to skirts with lace pet- ticoats. They were headed out to spend their free-time as they chose. They were headed out, ready for STUDENT LIFE. What was student life? It was ev- erything from dancing at Stage Two, to Friday night card games. It meant being with friends at Ched- dar's, participating in sports and clubs, and doing things on an indi- vidual basis. Not only were activi- ties important, but styles, fads, and even current events played large parts in student life. Although ac- tivities varied among students, many filled their calendars with the events described on the following pages ...
