fait la H . ml- ii.. as-...ht Leodership Gets Job Done This past year was a productive one for the Leadership class. Besides handling the traditional events like the Homecoming dance and noise parade, they took on many new pro- jects as well. They were responsible for securing the sponsorship for all dances held off campus. The biggest problem that faced them was the litter problem. They set up signs around the campus to try to combat this problem and also thought of many other ways RHS could be beautified. Two such ways were dressing up the area of the quadrangle around the teepee and cleaning up the parking lot. Lastly, Mr. Rifenbark arranged for speakers and meetings with Dr. Anderson and Dr. Nees and advised the students with their problems. Leadership 15

Traffic Jam Finally Over Many challenges faced RHS Principal Dr. Dale Nees including the new graduation and competency requirements for next year. Another was the challenge of developing an educational system to utilize the stu- dents time wisely. But the biggest and most time-consuming challenge which faced Dr. Nees and RHS stu- dents this past year was the parking situation. The students as well as the faculty went through many adjust- ments in this regard. Dr. Nees spent countless hours preparing plans to be outlined in meetings. Because of the Harvard Avenue construction problem, the administration had to re-route traffic several times. It wasn't until midway through the year that the traffic prob- lem subsided. At that point, the entrance was changed to where it stands now. This change allowed a continuous flow of traffic and less confusion, Plans were discussed to put in more new paving to clean up the triangle near Harvard Avenue and paint the parking lot so that in years to come RHS can go back to the parking permit system. Outside of the parking situation, Dr. Nees urged a more formal-like graduation with dignity. He felt that graduation was slowly declining in quality and needed to be remedied. al Dr. Nees studies yet another planning report to be presented at an administration meeting. bl Umpqua Business Manager Ken Donnelly interviews Vice-Principal Mr. Allen Ricketts. cl Athletic Director Mr. Al Hoffman chats with Dr. Nees. dl Vice-Principal Mr. Ray Rifenbark has some good words for Pat Win- ters. 16 Principal
