Elective offerings abound RLT continued to offer many electives from which to choose, and this was greatly appreciated by the students this year. With the school undergoing so many changes, it was a reliefto still have a choice in something, said junior Shaun Walvoord. A new -option, German, was added to the foreign-language department. Although this was the first year for RLT to offer a German class, many students were eager to give it a try. lt's alittle difficult to learn, but it's worth it. I mean, how many people do you know that speak German? said sophomore Elisa Munnerlyn. The fine arts were an important part ofa typical school day for some students. Junior Danny Baker said, Choir and drama gave many students a reason to come to school and do their best in other subjects too. Freshman Logan Flatt commented, All Region Band had more members in it than last year. RLT offered many business course selections. The choices ranged from basic typing to accounting and record keeping. l think the general business courses were very helpful and beneficial to the students. They gave the experience that was needed to get a decent office job, said junior Kelley Fought.
