The new RHS addition will be ready for use as ear- ly as 1971. Additional classrooms will make it possi- ble to extend course offerings, add new courses to the curriculum, and provide a wider variety of skilled subjects. Eating facilities of the cafeteria, which is much too small, will be enlarged. Student lines will move faster as service and seating areas improve. Home economics, business education, science, and physical education departments will take on a new look. The school population of RHS has changed, and present facilities have long reflected the need for expansion. RHS will sport a NEW FACE! A comparison of the old building in the background can be made with the new additions. in Os. FV, ,, x ,pm V ,. Qk f-t 3- 'fl' win. , I 'gf - .A -K 55.150, i 5-lug, 'J ' A 5 '

THE FRUITS OF PLANNING Years of planning and Drawing board confusion Become realities that loomed skyward As programmed growth reflected In beams of steel concrete Wires and red brick Push forth from sand and Mud, clay and barren waste. Amazing derricks and man muscles Hampered but not stopped entirely By rains and snows dig and spew forth The mighty EARTH. Man dreams and dreams And unending forms Shapes up and brings together The past, present, and future. Roosevelt had a past in the 20's That was extended in the 30's And again widened in the 50's And now the present the late 60's And the future which is the 70's Will reap the benefits Larger quarters for growing pains. Workmen concentrate on the job of enlarging buildings ol' RHS present campus. in' ....-F904 Jpzvifdf-fgq..-T,t.. 4 A. .,r,-,.,4.ffp,,fg. 41:4 A in-it. i tjgli.-1,14 ' Q -'fi' -U Y T ' ig V ' - 'Q' . , 3 - if C f V , w::GtLfBi6av:Ztf5:1'i4?5.f 1 1 Lgguff ,L wr 41,-,-i'4i:-2 2 -X' - f - f .r,, v . f 'HF -q,5,j.n,-V, ' Qr ' gt Q aifiltd ,ff fl Change begins in '69 as new additions spark the horizon. i lg v 16 'sv
