Extra Extra - The High Times!


The High Times - a great school newsletter and monthly magazine. I'm not sure when it was started but it was always fun to read when we were at RHS! I have a couple of issues in my collection but wasn't smart enough to keep 'em all! If anyone has any issues from 1970-71, 1971-72 or 1972-73 - PLEASE let us know!

The issue highlighted here is our last one - from June, 1973. The staff was made up of Penni Reilly (Editor in Chief), Connie Snow, Dave Goddard, Jan Koper, Chris Muller, Evie Romm, Chris Li, Mary Jo Macchi, Fred Strype, Nancy Sullivan, John Frei, Holly Bogdanffy, Fran Recht, Mary Kiley. The staff was advised by Mrs. Carol Derven.

It was always filled with local ads. Among them of course were Perdue's Sport Shop which was incredibly supportive RHS.


Above is one of the many ads that RHS Hall of Famer Walter Perdue ran in support of our schools and our sports programs.


Above an ad run by our favorite after-games, after-school, after-whatever burger place - The Fireplace!

Featured at this writing is a great article by Managing Editor Connie Snow about William Leach - our longtime principal. Our graduating year - 1972-1973 - would be Mr. Leach's last. Also an article by Chris Muller about the retirement of longtime teacher Newell C. Gillan - he taught at RHS for 46 years! Finally the "Where Will They Be Next Year?" feature - which lists most of our plans for our immediate future.

Above and below is the annual final issue feature "Where Will They Be Next Year?" - at the time, I couldn't believe it was about us - it all went so quick! While I attended Ramapo College, I did not finish college. In addition to Ramapo I also attended Pace University and Western Connecticut University. Please click to enlarge.
