In all phases of academic life - from the freshman civics class to the senior world literature course - emphasis was placed upon utilizing and expanding the student's abilities and talents. A constant striving toward excellence in every field of study became the primary goal of both teachers and students. The art room, the shop wing, and the speech class became focal points for R-B-ity, as students re- flected the friendliness of their high school. Un the more serious side, the academic classes - American history, sociology, and algebra - mirrored the solemn in- tentiveness of the students, varied appli- cations of ability. Activity gained a prom- inent place in every class - from the whirr of the typewriters in the Clarion room to the harmonious sounds of the Choir. The classroom scene saw students endeavor to learn and apply their knowl- edge to new situations. On all levels the accent was on performance, Freshmen studied grammar and social science, while sophomores tackled fulius Caesar. Juniors pitted their brains against chemistry prob- lems as seniors grappled with American government. Underlying the seriousness of every class was the spirit of R-B-ity, ae students strove to help each other in all phases of academic endeavor. In the class- rooms there was a spirit of striving - a reaching out to touch the zenith of ability.

Academics showed R-B offered a four year math program, consisting of basic Algebra 9, Plane Geometry 10, Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry ll, and College Algebra and Trigonometry 12. The newly built science laboratories allowed many students to work individually and industriously with up-to-date equip- ment. Required courses of Social Science 9, American History 11, and Government and Sociology 12 helped the students to understand the relationship of the United States to other na- tions. The students interested in the business world found that R-B offered an excellent training program.
