BACK TO THE FUTURE Beginning the 1985-86 school year was beginning the second century of Russell High. In getting back to the future,” which was chosen as our theme for this year’s round-up, we have celebrated an acquired appreciation for our heritage. Looking back, Russell's first graduating class graduated in 1886, from a high school where Bickerdyke Elementary School now stands. The cur- riculum consisted of the bare essentials, mainly the humanities. Now RHS offers over ninety different courses. With the exception of 1893, 1896, and 1898, there has always been a graduating class in RHS, the size of the class being indicative of the growth of Russell. This centennial year was filled with special times. The first, being the dedication and naming of Champion our bronzed bronco, held during Homecoming. This project was initiated by the 1984-85 Stu-Co and was funded by money raised from Bronco prints. A second special event took place during winter sports. The school gymnasium became known as Amos Morris Gymnasium,” in honor of the former coach. A bronze bust of Mr. Morris was placed in the gym lobby. Mr. Carl Brooks, a new face at RHS, was able to share these and other special times with us as our new principal. The re-organizing of Drama Club, the resurfacing of the track, and the fire in the boiler room, are among the smaller events that made this school year unique from all others. Nationally, the U.S. went further into debt, and terrorism was the worst it has ever been. A most shocking and tragic incident was the explosion of the Challenger, our space shuttle, which took the lives of seven astronauts, including the first civilian, a school teacher. This year was not all bad, though, as we had the opportunity to observe Haley’s Comet, which only comes around every seventy-five years. We had our disappointing moments ... but the learning experiences and many good times made up for them. It was another successful year for RHS.
