Robbinsdale's contest one act, taken from Thurber's Carnival, revolved around this reversed epigram. Intense competition was the cause of the cast's overwrought nerves as they watched the rival plays. Surmounting their anxieties, Mr. Bruce McLean and the first cast that he had directed at RHS won the district contest, went on to the regionals and secured a triple A rating and ranked as first alternate to St. Louis Park. Looking back. Senior Jeff Jones commented, In spite of the hard work, we got involved in the play and had a lot of fun with it. The cast profited from many technical experiences. SENIOR BRUCE DOEPKE provides willing labor 10 prepare the truck for tot trantportation to different contest location , alnce the catf it responsible for mott technical phase of the play. AFTER A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, the cast settles down to listen to lengthy criticisms given freely and distinctly by Mr. Mclean.

Trees, Toys for Tots, and Thaws Mark Wintertime at Robbinsdale With Santa on their minds, and school work temporarily forgotten, students at RHS plunged into Christmas activities with the zeal of elves. Door decorations ranged from the tiniest, pink angel to the prize-winning sister and brother . Carols were played over Muzak, corsages appeared on coats, and seasonal greetings were exchanged between old and new friends alike, while a Yuletide atmosphere reigned throughout the halls. Select Choir gave their annual Christmas concert to the students, and seniors of the choir caroled past classrooms the day before Christmas vacation. The first day of Snow Week, during the January thaw, brought a pepfest in the foyer, wintry signs and decor, and introduction of King and Queen candidates in the auditorium, ending with nighttime tobogganing.
