Homecoming Traditions Are Revived at RHS Traditional Homecoming returned to RHS October 10-14. Formerly referred to as Fall Sports Week, its purpose was to welcome back alumni and to honor participants in boys’ gymnastics and football, soccer and cross country, and girls’ tennis, swimming and volleyball. At a Wednesday coronation ceremony Shelley Beaudry was selected queen and reigned over the festivities which included: a brat fry; a demonstration by the Minnesota Kicks, Ade Cocker and Alan Merrick; a variety show; a donut dunk; and various athletic events. Activities culminated with the Friday football game against Lincoln and a dance in the cafeteria featuring the local rock band “Suicide Commandos.” Above, left. Watching the coronation ceremony are Bob Jones, 1976 Homecoming Queen Shelley Thompson, Steve Pfaffe, and Pat Rooney. Above. Robins jam bleachers for Fall Sports Week auditorium and pepfest.

Entertainment Choices Abound in Metro Area When seeking a temporary escape from homework and parents, students had a variety of entertainment choices. The Twin Cities provided exciting diversions to satisfy almost every mood. Hundreds of Robins attended concerts featuring their favorite artists. Appearing this year at the St. Paul Civic Center and the Met Center were the rock groups: Kiss, Fleetwood Mac, Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Doobie Brothers, Charlie Daniels and Dan Fogelberg. The Minnesota Orchestra celebrated its 75th anniversary with special concerts and a gala reception attended by the Vice President’s wife, Mrs. Joan Mondale. At the Guthrie, Dudley Riggs Workshop, and on countless suburban stages there was always interesting theater to be sampled. Movies were still popular and the record-setting “Star Wars” was enjoyed more than once by some students; however, sometimes the best way to relax after completing and turning in a research paper was to stay home, settle in a soft-cushioned chair and read a special book. Best sellers this year included works by J.R.R. Tolkein, Mary Stewart, and Kurt Vonnegut. Above. The Air Force Band plays an exciting November 10 concert for RHS. Left.
