Powder Puff It was a cool May evening, Fans dotted the bleachers as the announcers primed the loud speaker. Suddenly, a flurry of activity was seen near the boys locker room, and out marched the 1981 girls powder puff players. For the next sixty minutes, sugar and spice were forgotten as girls from the Senior-Freshman squad battled it out against the Junior-Sophomore team. Friendships disappeared as members of the teams blocked, passed and punted their hardest. The final outcome left both teams exhilarated, as the Junior-Sophomore team left victorous and the Senior-Freshman team left knowing that they played a tough game. For the Seniors, RHS powder puff will only hold memories, but for the underclassmen, powder puff holds promise for revenge and rematch. Patti slips by Junie. Tes ee ROCK WR ME $M Ke OES 72

Varsity Cheerleaders — The 1980-1981 Varsity Cheerleading squad had a very hectic, rewarding year. In addition to cheering three nights a week almost consistently from August until February, the varsity squad somehow found time to plan the various activities during the week of Homecoming, such as Farmer's Day, Sock Day, 50’s day, Costume Day and Blue and Gold Day. They also provided much amusement on the day of the game by planning and participating in “Mock Homecoming.” The squad dressed up in the entire football team uniforms, while some members of the football team were seen in short skirts, bobby socks rugby sweaters. During the month of November, orders were taken for football jerseies The squad also sold Megaphones. Enough money was raised to make it possible for them to purchase badly needed shirts. The County Tournaments were held shortly after Christmas which gave the cheerleaders a chance to show off their new stunts and to exchange gifts. If things slackened slightly in January, they w ere more than made up for during February. A “Pretty Leg Contest” was staged for the boys basketball teams and was a total success. The month was also devoted to practicing their new pom-pom routine which was performed to the song “Celebration.” It took many long hours for both their instructors and the members of the squad but the overwhelming response of the fans and the praise of their teachers and peers, than compensated. 1980-81 Varsity Cheerleaders Front: Barbara Glatt, Linda Wilhelm Back: Patricia Fox, Junie Funkhouser, Gail Heslep, Terry Hart, Tammy Camper, Sharon Reid
