Secretaries Guidance PTA The silent moving force at RHS that keeps the activity of the school moving at the necessary important pace is the secretarial staff, the guidance staff, the social workers. the hidden talent de- partment and the PTA officers. Much of the work that is done by these competent groups is not general knowledge. but nonetheless they add to the meaningful patterns and fill the gaps and voids that otherwise would interrupt the smooth running of an in- stitution the size of RHS. Accurate record keeping, activities that include parents and students and college entrance papers are carefully and capably handled and prepared by these forces. t., ,gi Wi was V.

Facult Awareness and the relevance of today's world is the core of the instructional programs in today's schools. This in turn is applicable to classroom environment, and classroom environment is geared to learning for the col- lege-bound student and the students preparing to enter the work force directly. Enough breadth, depth and flexi- bility are evident to meet the needs of both those who teach and those who are taught. Preparation and learning go hand in hand. Minds are challenged and potentials unhampered in the quest for successful learning at RHS. Today's world requires more than a workable knowledge of the 3 R's. Graduation is not the end of learning, nor is it an end within itself. In- formation gathering is a lifetime need that is the passport to successful living. Students at RHS realize this and work diligently to become knowledgeable of the current world in which we reside. 1 - Staff Mr. Robert E. Jones, Ass't.
