The TATTLER A FEVV CHANGES There have been a few changes in R. H. S. during the past year. - Law and Economics, a course which has not been oiered for quite a few years, was added to the high school schedule. Commercial Law was given for the first half year and Economics for the remain- der of the year. The Home-Economic and Manual Train- ing Junior and Senior divisions exchanged classes for a period of six weeks during the mid-winter term. Much work was ac- complished by both girls and boys. The girls took a summarized course in Home Mechanics and also made end ta- bles. The boys learned the basis of Home Economics and learned to cook. The ex- change of subjects proved very satisfac- tory for both classes. Some new equipment was purchased for the Home Economic Laboratory, in- cluding a gas stove and electric refriger- ator. The Home Economics room was painted during Christmas vacation. We also have a new basketball trophy added to the collection in the main room! MARJORIE HALEY '48 SCHOOL SPIRIT What is school spirit? Is it yelling our lungs out to let the team know we are behind them every inch of the way? Well, yes, that's a part of school spirit. But it goes deeper than that! According to Mr. Webster, it's an enthusiasm for an ob- ject. All right, the object is school. We're in school for one principal reason- to learn. Therefore, school spirit is an r...- . -41, enthusiasm for learning. I don't mean that We're going to jump up and down with glee when we learn that we have to take certain subjects. No, but since we do have to take those subjects, We can try to learn something from them. If we waste our time in study periods and then do no outside studying, naturally our ranks sufferg we suffer too! Returning veterans say their happiest days were spent in high school. Almost all agree that if they had it to do ever, they'd really buckle down to study. Doesn't that prove anything? If you were a member of the basketball team, you strove to do your best. You practiced and practiced to perfect your game. Given an algebra assignment do you study and study to get the perfect paper? Probably not. Why? Because at the time, it's more fun to go out with the gang. That's not the way to learn! Neither can you read a chemistry assign- ment through once and expect to be able to answer all questions asked over it. Then, too, it's much easier to study a little at a time, than to have to cram for examinations. Some fellows seem to take the attitude it's sissy to get good rank- but remember, boys, for the most part- girls admire you for your brains as well as your brawn! High school prepares us for college or some vocational school. Every bit of learning we can pick up in high school is going to help later on in life. And it's up to the student himself to learn. The teachers can't do it all! ! BETTY RUSSELL '47 Editor-in-Chief .,-I 5-
