5 11!? Campos, Thomas School Changed By Sophomores? ■•uppose just for a minute that you were the principal of RHS. How would you feel about it? Although the job of heading a school is a tremendous re- sponsibility, sophomores jumped at the chance to voice their opinions. Most had changes in mind, while others felt satisfied with the education that RHS of- fers . . . ' d let radios be allowed because sor people work better with music. — Andy Ruiz I ' d improve the grading on report cords by giving letter grades instead of just a V for passing. — Paula Munsen I ' d close the school on rainy days be- cause I hate feeling like a drowned rat. — Laura Urquahart I ' d get nd of the tardy-truancy policy. — Stacey Merlino I would make Rubidoux an open cam- pus and I would change our lunchtime so it would be from 12:00 to 1:00. — Kelly Williams I am happy with the way RHS is, and I don ' t think it needs any changes. I think Mr. Huckaby is doing a good job. — Kelly Soto 4- 1. Performing only one of c principal ' s many du- ties, Stacey Merlino dictates a letter to Ms. Kreti, secretary. 2.

Rings Symbolize Classic Tradition I T lom says they ' re completely unnecessary, Dad would rather buy me a new wardrobe, and my older sister is a senior and still begging for one: a class ring. A class ring is something I can cherish all my life (or so I say, trying to convince Mom). The sophomores have the dis- tinct honor of hosting the Josten ' s re- presentative who sells the rings. To- wards the end of the first semester, he visits our Driver ' s Education class, telling us everything that we could possibly ever want to know about class rings. There is a new twist to all of this. The representative shows a short film about one of Josten ' s best salesmen. The speaker is really more like a stand up comic, and he jokes about the teenage years in high school. He rattles on about the many school activities and traditions and about how getting a class ring is just one of numerous traditions. Class rings are a tradition all over the country, and have been since the time of my grandparents. I ' ll bet even Abe Lincoln had a class ring. Well, I guess I ' ll hove to start saving up all those odd pennies, nickels and dimes and maybe one day I ' ll have the one hundred dollars I ' ll need. Mom just doesn ' t seem to realize how much this ring means to me. It holds all kinds of memories and all that sentimental stuff. Well, maybe I can convince her yet. ' A ' 1. Bill Huekmaker, Josten ' s representative, pre- sents information about class rings to sophomores in a driver ' s education doss. 2. Kwynn Rentfro studies her booklet to decide upon her class ring. 3. Angel Aguilera and Octavio Aguirre listen at- tentively to the representative, who comes each yeor and visits Driver ' s Ed classes. f Tnp Dodgen, Daniel Doles, Deanno Donley, Downo Dnskell, Leah Drumol, Raymond Dupper, Kenneth Duthie, Michelle Soph 151
