—| MAKING BELIEVE During the 1986-87 year, students faced two major changes in school policy. Tobacco was not allowed on the school premises and the seniors were no longer exempt from final exams. Although these changes produced some dissent, the students realized they had to accept and strive to meet the standards laid out before them. As the students achieved their own special goals, each class pulled together for various reasons. For instance, as graduation approached, the seniors grew closer; they realized that this was the last year they would be united as the Class of 1987. The juniors worked hard making preparations for and hosting the Junior Senior Prom. The sophomores started their fundraisers for next year and PEOPER each freshman made his or her way into RHS with moral support from other classmates. By “Making Believe,” the students and their classes realized their own potentialities. Although many new students entered the doors of RHS during the last year, one student in particular, Daniel Migueres, made a lasting impression on the school. Daniel, a native of France, attended RHS as a part of the American Intercultural Student Exchange program. By participating in various clubs, Daniel met many students and quickly became accustomed to the everyday life at RHS. When asked about RHS, Daniel responded, “It’s a fun school, full of friendship.” These students broaden their horizons as they complete a Talent Search exercise at RHS. The Talent Search program provides helpful knowledge for students in planning their careers.

“How many days until gradua- tion?”’ Those were the most popular words of the Class of 1987 during the past year. When the new group of seniors walked through the RHS doors, they were already dreaming of the day when they would be high school graduates. However, they had to face one more year of trials and adventures before that moment. Electing class officers was the first order of business. Tammy Mon- tgomery was chosen to lead with Stephanie Tomlin as Vice-President and Carol Clements as Secretary Treasurer. To replenish a depleted treasury, RHS sweatshirts were sold during the football season and M M’s during the winter months.

Those seniors planning to attend col- lege sent in their applications and ap- plied for financial aid. Jobs were sought and plans for the future were made. With the days counting down, the Class of 1987 realized that, within a few short months, they would be fac- ing the world as high school graduates. After a long winter of snow and more snow, the senior class trip to Washington D.C. rolled around. A busy day was spent seeing the sights, waiting in line, posing for pictures, eating and drinking. When the ex- hausted students returned home, they were greeted by icy roads and snow- filled air, bringing a memorable end to a memorable trip.

Prom night came and went. Joan Swisher and Kathy Reed were named Valedictorian and Salutatorian respec- tively. The senior picnic and Class Night left seniors with magical memories. June 10 proved to be the end. As the seniors stood to receive their diplomas, they recalled all the times they shared. Parties, pulling pranks, struggling through new, stricter, rules, facing the death of a schoolmate, be- ing with friends. Yet, they knew the most important memory they shared was being together as the Class of ’87. ‘ i 4
