Ck oa yo a Si A change in everyday routine was provided by organiza- tions and clubs here at RHS. Bloodmobiles, after-prom ac- tivities, fashion shows and entertainment at sports events were just a few highlights during the school year that were sponsored by clubs. In order to pull off such events, students had to pool their efforts as they worked toward a common goal. Competition with other schools and participation in con- ferences helped vary club activities. While Model U.N. and NHS pitted themselves against rival organizations from other schools, other organizations such as FHA sent voting delegates to state conferences. Students gained com- petitive experience as they represented RHS. MAKING BELIEVE CLUBS However, the clubs’ attendance at conferences or travel to places of interest was not possible without funds. To ac quire the necessary monies for these activities, most of thi clubs held fundraisers. The variety of things sold rangec from Gifts Treasures to candy. No matter what the fun raiser happened to be, each member of the club put forth} little effort to make the fundraiser successful. Clubs here at RHS not only provided different activitia| for the students, but they also gave students a chance t develop new interests. Participation in clubs and organiza tions gave students the chance for ‘“‘Making Believe” it themselves and their capabilities. | a Representing Congo, Andy Smiley and Jon Anderson devise strategic techniques to overthrow their rival countries. 50 Club Divider

Capturing the Moment Memories are cherised by one and all. The yearbook staff and the Rebel Realm newspaper staff worked hard to capture the memorable events at RHS. With editor Tracy Miller and assis- tant edit or Ronda Williams on top, the yearbook staff strove to bring the 1987 Rebel into perspective. This was not an easy task — the staff was very inexperienced and had to learn all about copywriting and laying out pages. After perfecting these skills, they spent many long hours working together to meet deadlines and to raise money to finance the book. A Yearbook — Front Row — Teresa Crawford, Kim A.

The staff also sponsored the Wo-Man Contest in November to pro- mote the sale of the yearbook. The dedication of the members of the staff was tremendous, but two staff members stood out in particular. Tracy Miller and Ronda Williams were named the Most Outstanding Members. The Rebel Realm, the yearbook’s counterpart, was under the advisory of Kim Loy. The staff worked hard to make each edition better than the last. Every six weeks, the paper was distributed to the students and faculty To make the staff’s job easier, money from the sale of the newspaper was used to purchase a special collectior of Newsroom computer disks. The Rebel Realm staff also had ar outstanding member. Kim Burct worked extra hard to get her story ir on time, and to help get the Rebe Realm published. Both the yearbook staff and the Rebel Realm staff endeavored to keer the student body informed anc preserve the memories held here a RHS.
