10 YEARS AGO

June 14, 1995

After eight years of hard work and studying the RCHS class of 2000 has begun their venture into high school where they will work harder ad longer. To celebrate the end of their elementary school careers the parents of the 7th grade graduating class sponsored a party for them. The event took place at the Washington Fire Hall from 8-11 p.m. Friday night. Those who attended enjoyed music pro-' vided by The OK’s. The guests included 45 to 50 students, parents of students who will be in eighth grade next year and three of their teachers from this year. There was also a mystery guest, a woman wearing pink stockings and a mask. The group did the hokey-pokey, the limbo, and some occasional head banging. A few students slow danced while still others found the need to return to the ‘80’s and break dance. Some of the other students sat and relaxed. Ch' * Heddleston, one of the students at the gala, ev' received a ride upon the shoulders of one of the other guests. The festivities were a success and, according to Cheryl Fairbrother, one of the organizers of the event: “Everyone had a great time.”
