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.

Social Studies Scientihc inquiry enables RHS students to discover and interpret scientific knowledge, develop desirable attitudes, interests and appreciations for science, history, and math. A search for solutions to current and vital problems in this scientific age and space age encompasses the use and knowledge of science, social science and math. Stimulated learning is spurred through the use of up-to-date lab equipment. Experiences and challenges are offered to capable, talent- ed and interested students studying the many courses of the science, social studies or math curricula. Planning can be done for further study here at RHS that will lead to essen- tial and specialized work. The success of any learning situation as well as here at RHS for many seniors now on the threshold of becoming adult citizens is how well they will be able to use and trans- fer learning. Today's world though constantly before us through the news media of television, newspapers, magazines, lectures, phamphlets and circulars undergoes constant change that requires much discussion and understanding. 325 'V P 1-' A . . - The pros and cons of debatable current issues of historic note are best discussed in the social studies classes. Here at RHS students are encouraged to bring in materials for dis- cussion that will prick the thinking of classmates and arouse curiosity and demand answers based on research and fact. Audio visual materials are of great use in these depart- ments as well as other departments, but the materials must undergo constant change and timeliness to be of current value. Since the goal of education is not a race for material awards, an understanding of the complex problems and short comings of men is desirable. Social science courses at RHS are an expression of independent and combined think- ing, independent and combined research, combined discus- sion, and conclusions with proper guidance.
