Unique activities increase spirit The unique aspects of this Year of the Dragon included the band's trip to the Tour- nament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California and their winning of state honors in marching competition. School spirit ran high during the year despite a losing season in football. The Homecoming pep rally drew a larger au- dience than any one previous to it. Homecoming festivities were expanded to include a candlelight pep rally and a car parade through downtown which helped to involve the entire community. This yearfs enrollment at RRHS grew once again as the student body expanded to nearly 1600 students. The growth resulted in three new portable buildings being added. Plans were finalized for the addition of thirty new classrooms. Principal George Bu- jnoch says that this will be the last major ex- pansion for the campus. The Year of the Dragon 5

The center was a popular gathering place before school. School traditions remain unchanged In some ways this year was like many others. Students continued to gather in the student center before school and at noon. They attended pep rallies and decorated the halls for Homecoming. Teachers taught their classes and students studied for exams. Juniors wrote research papers and freshmen learned their way around the numerous buildings. Seniors took government and sophomores learned to drive. Various groups hosted dances during the year and clubs held initiations. Classes held fundraisers selling almost everything in- cluding gummy bears. popcorn and mugs. The Junior Class held their annual raffle dur- ing Homecoming Week and the sophomores hosted the Talent Show just before Christmas. Freshmen tried to think of new ways to raise money and seniors went on their annual senior trip in the spring. All of these things combined to make this year the same and yet different. It was the Year of the Dragon. ,nt The Year of the Dragon 7
