arch of Dimes serves active y Enthusiasm for serving the community brought together many students involved in the fight to prevent birth defects, a cause supported by the local March of Dimes. The March of Dimes Youth Council was composed of about 25 teenagers from RRHS and a few other students representing the Austin area. The Central Texas chapter included: Chairman Bobby Heard, juniorg Vice-Chairman of Education Melissa Perez, seniorg Vice-Chairman of Fund Raising Ann Fierke, junior and Assistant Secretaries Stephanie Stromberg, junior and Wen- dy Webster, sophomore. The Youth Council for the March of Dimes made quite a difference as it became an ac- tive organization on campus. According to Assistant Secretary Stephanie Stromberg many students in- volved themselves in March of Dimes activities to serve the community. The Youth Council assisted the Central Texas Area Chapter of the March of Dimes to sponsor the Hallo- ween Haunted House on Austin's Sixth Street in cooperation with radio sta- tion K-98. Many local students were involved in this project working as guides and other ghoulish creatures. Heather McDevitt, junior, said, It was a lot of fun, but at the same time, it made me feel good that I was raising money for a good cause. The Youth Council also went on to have their own area conference. This con- ference was held at Austin's Driskill Hotel Crystal Room. Actress Kim Fields was there to speak on the dangers of teenage pregnancy. Junior Bobby Heard, headed this conference as Chapter Presi- dent before being elected State Chairman. Other successful projects included the March of Dimes Wash America at the end of March and the Walk America held in early April. Each pro- ject gained a lot of support and participation from active members. Heard commented, The projects were great! Everyone had a lot of fun! The money earned from these projects went directly towards research for preven- ting birth defects. .... -.Q ii,,. . 2- '-i,,...f-v' Junior Bobby -Heard, chapter president of the local March of Dimes, talks to actress Kim Fields of NBC's Facts of Life at a local convention on teenage pregnancy.

Because of the heavy traffic during ti f' peak hours, 7:45-9:00 a.m., and 4-6 p.m., ' lr officers were assigned to direct traffic lg . 1 on the FM 620 bridge. Traffic caused l trouble for students especially during I - r-s1s. . .M the lunchtime hours, though. The big- gest obstruction was the blockage of the Chisholm Trail, making traffic twice as heavy on the 620 bridge. Students found themselves allowing an extra 15 minutes just to get to and from school at lunch. I used to go over the 620 bridge, which used to take me about 15 minutes, commented Paula Dunigan, junior. Students are trying to find back roads in order to avoid traffic building up on the bridge. I used the roads going through Round Rock West to McNeil Road. But now, too many students are taking these back roads, and they too, are becoming congested. - sw I As a result of the increase in student population, students who arrived late to school found it necessary to park on the street. .
