Summer vaca tioners return to RHS When students took posters and memorabilia off their locker doors last June, the summer of 78 seemed to stretch ahead endlessly. Many planned to live day by day and forget about all work. Others had ambitious plans for long days at a job, specialized studying, cabin hopping or even a trip abroad. Whatever they chose to do, Robins usually felt an itch to return in September to the school which brought them into guaranteed contact with so many people. As one teacher reminded students, School is your full-time job. Beaches at Twin Lake and elsewhere became haunts of the majority on any sunny day. On nights when the winning Minnesota Kicks soccer team played in town, the California lot at Met Stadium was jammed with partying students long before game time. Summer was the time to pursue one’s favorite activity, but most students welcomed September and their return to The Home of the Robins.” Above.

Upsurge in spirit marks homecoming Blue and gold buttons announced “We’re Robbin’ the Pirates,” the slogan for the homecoming football game against Park Center. School spirit seemed higher than in previous years as students and faculty participated in a week-long celebration. At a Tuesday coronation program Todd Fairbanks selected Mary Giebenhain (right) to be queen of the Royal Court which included Lisa Catton, Tamara Cook, Theresa Cook, and Colleen Hogan. The days of the week were designated as teacher grub day, dress up. hat, jersey, and blue and gold. There was a faculty and cheerleader touch-football game which the former won 21-14, a treasure hunt for a medallion, a brat fry sponsored by the Coop Department, a variety show, and a car show. The Friday pepfest was highlighted by the cameo run-way appearances of former homecoming queens as far back as 1939. The Park Center Pirates, however, refused to be robbed of a victory and outfought the Robins 27-12. The traditional homecoming dance which featured the rock group “Rage” culminated the fall festivities. Above. Jeff Dearing and Kelly Hamann welcome former homecoming queen Lorraine Pierce.
