Creeps Alive A Night by Mary Kay Pickard October 31 to November 2, the halls of the school were filled with the bellowing screams and terrifying screeches of the action taking place inside the locker room. The Haunted Locker Room was sponsored by the FORArts Club. The club spent two weeks preparing for their performance, which Advisor Ken Gessford, said was Absolutely fan tastic. A number of scenarios from Fe- male Phantom of the Opera, to a Surgeon with Chainsaws, Various Tunnels of Doom, the Blinding Ligh t to Deafening Sound and many more revived the hearts of the daring visitors. An anonymous freshman said, It was spooky! Sophomore Lori Cisch said, It was better than the ones around town. 26X Haunted Lockerroom HFQKQSC 515 fe fi srl! 2 il X!

RHS Student Are SLIC by Cyndi Maxwell A strong leader has the following qualities: initiative, enthusiasm, in- tegrity, the ability to accept respon- sibility, and the ability to relate to group members in a positive, moti- vating way. Inter-Club Council members were striving to possess these qualities. Student Leaders Inter-Club Coun- cil KSLICI was formed this year with the purpose of bringing the various clubs of the school together. The purpose of the council was to.' 1. pro- vide information to help a student improve their leadership skills, 2. to provide leaders with an opportunity to exchange information, and 3. to provide leaders with opportunities to communicate with the RHS administration. The club meetings were held the second Thursday of every month for a half hour. The format of the ,gwr , monthly meetings consisted of a ten minute presentation on a special top- ic, ten minutes of sharing between designated organizations, and ten minutes for discussion and concerns. The speciHc areas the SLIC group focused on were: planning and run- ning a meeting, motivating club members to participate in the organi- zation, effective use of communica- tion skills, planning projects, time management, getting organized, and creating school and class spirit. The meetings went well and I feel its super that all of the clubs in the school were working together for a common goal, commented Melisa Volpe, a student leader. The council was a great way for students to share and express ideas, commented Mrs. Emma Owen. This yearls council worked so well we will deHnitely have another one next year. IN TERCL maart.

A t The MOV1.6S.' F0RA1'tS by Mary Kay Pickard The art club film was put together by the FORArtS Club, I consisting of about 25 membersj. The FORArtS Club and Mr. Gessford, art instruc- tor, with some aid from Mr. Lehnert, a KSUprofessor, did a study on non- objective art. Non-objective art deals with non- representation meaning that the artist does not think of' representa- tional objects while he is working. It also deals with the sense of percep- tion. For example, the artist might draw how a flower smells instead of how it looks. The goal of this Him was to hope- fully educate the public on the sub- ject of' non-objective art. It was dis- tributed to universities across the nation and was aired on PBS televi- sion Ichannels 45f49j. The film was started in March and completed in May.
