Leisure moments are spent in various wa s and places . . . Meeting at the drugstore after school and catching up on the latest gossip is a favorite pastime ot many students. A well-rounded person should use his leisure time in some constructive manner. XX'e. here at RHS are no exception. Many of us spend part of our spare time over a cherry coke flavored with some juicy bit of gos- sip, at the drugstore or munching on a sausage pizza, peppered with a heated basketball discussion, at the drive-in. Others have unusual hobbies. Pat DuBois treasures her Frank Sinatra record collection above all else. john Skidmore is a capable bowler. Sue Robbins plays real gone jazz on the piano. ,lim Green is our Man with a Camera . Wailt Chapman bags every an- imal in sight with his trusty rifle. .lane May shows ar- tistic ability in her sketches and paintings. Other students with interesting hobbies are Dixie Burkhart who water skis and Becky Boswell who plays golfg Carol Brown collects insects: blames Mooney col- lects antique model cars: Pat Bradley collects post cardsg Claudia Deeds plays poker: Karen Ferguson collects salt and pepper shakersg Pat Showley rides horsesz Bill Slonaker chases girls1 Karen Metzger collects miniature horsesg Mary Nelle Powers sewsg and Nan Ewen makes pizzas. And of course, everyone enjoys that universal pastime-dating. Many of the boys spend a great deal of time with their cars. There is always something to be done.
