Changing colors of autumn meant wearing your favorite wool sweater on crisp mornings. It meant the crunch-crunch of leaves under your brown oxfords, chilly football games, the earth-brown leaves — once the colors of the rainbow, and dusk approaching earlier but making night life longer. Autumn meant that sleeping till noon on weekdays was a •‘no-no’’ for another nine months. It meant sighing to think that your skin, once richly bronzed, would again be ghostly pale. For the young-at-heart it meant pumpkins and parties — and, of course, those long streams of damp toilet paper hanging from the trees and shrubs of those lucky enough to get T.P.ed in honor of Halloween. ■ Cool and Crisp 16 Fan

Pat and Cara Reign in ’80 Even as the world around us changes, the tradition of Homecoming remains basically the same. The change of the program to the evening before the game had advantages and disadvantages. ‘‘I think it’s a gyp that the football players can’t be king,” said senior Andrea McFee. ‘‘but the program’s all right at night.” The football team was able to watch the coronation, but they, too, had to pay $1.00 for the privilege. Those who could afford the cost and chose to spend the dollar witnessed the anticipation on the faces of the royal court as former King and Queen Garth Ryan and Tina Ritchie paced behind the finalists, teasing with the crowns. Finally they crowned Pat Murphy and Cara Cardinal 1980 King and Queen. The addition of a dance by the Laotian girls brought their heritage and newly found Teddie spirit to RHS. Another entertainment for the royal court was the senior girls (Shoo-bop-ee-doos), who sang and danced to ‘‘Roosevelt Guys,” which was derived from ‘‘California Girls. The duet by Shannon McGuire and Chris Johnson, “The Last Time I’m Falling in Love,” added a touch of romance. Opposite page: Top: Front row: Chairpersons Gloria Owens and Dan O’Donnell.
