Spirit days began with inside-out day, followed by punk rock nerd day, opposite sex day, and twin day. Ending the week was the tradi- tional red and blue day. The fresh- men won the spirit days by having the most participants. Thursday evening, the tradition- al snake dance and bonfire was held. Although this was the first year it was not school sponsored, later that night, the seniors white- washed the town. They ended the evening by placing a three-seater outhouse on top of the school. All week long, students worked hard on floats and hall decorations, preparing for the parade and judg- ing, The junior class won the float competition, featuring Scott McCobb, Matt Walters, and Jim Bean as two frogs and a king bron- co on the float.

Shifting from long hours of studying, endless days of taking notes, and last minute homework assignments, students take time out to do what they like best. Some spend their after-school time going to movies and dragging Main Street. As far as extra-cur- ricular activities go, road-tripping to other towns is a favorite of RHS students. Hays is probably the number one destination. Whether students' extra-curricu- lar activities are just partying with their friends or being alone, engrossed in their favorite hobbies, after-hours time is essential to maintaining sanity.
