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.

rt- Music 4 Audio Visual Centers References are necessary for required term papers. special reports and class work as well as homework. RHS is fortunate enough to have two audio visual centers manned by capable librarians on the first floor and the third floor. A well equipped center is an effec- tive aid to students who need such help. The aesthetic side ofthe soul is not neglect- ed in our development here at RHS as the music department has many choral groups, an orchestra and the world renowned RHS band. Music groups enter state contests and are frequent winners of special awards. The RHS Band is one of the favored participants in the famous Chicago Bud Billiken Parade. The art department fosters expression in beauty, individuality and creative talent. Originality wins plaudits. Instructors in this area are quick to encourage student talents. , Sa 70 fl' 1- ll.
