3facult m he faculty at Rappahannock County High School is one of very high standards. Their interest always seems to lie with the students, not themselves. Their willingness to reach out to students and become involved in their lives is one of their finer qualities praised in this Rappsody. The students here regard the teachers as friends and real Ceople. instead of taskmasters who teach only the subject at and. The teachers are always in the dawning light of the students at R.C.H.S. because as a new day begins . . . they're always there to see us through. “Mr. Futrell. we can t go on seeing each other like this. Shakespeare never looked this good! “You call this a lab report. There will be NO rest for the wicked! 7

school can neither run smoothly nor conduct its business efficiently without a firm, friendly, and caring administration. Scheduling students and teachers for classes, setting and maintaining standards of dress and conduct, and offering counsel and guidance to individuals are the basic tasks of the administration. An average day for Mr. Wingfield can be more frustrating than most students would imagine. Who knows, for example, that the principal negotiates with photographers, salesmen, parents, school board members, supervisors, and military recruiters? Usually, students and teachers see Mr. Wingfield when trouble is brewing or already out of hand; for the man who runs the show is the one who is ultimately responsible for what goes on. Patience, wisdom, experience, and under- standing are the qualities our leader needs, and nas, to get the job done. Mr. Patterson, in addition to teaching Sociology classes, has the job of athletic director for RCHS, and is our vice principal. He is constantly working with people, making decisions, and striving to be fair and consistent in enforcing school policy. That’s not an easy task, by any means, and the Rappsody Staff would like to commend his calm, collected, steady manner in dealing with the problems of a hard job. Guidance is another area where real concern and patience is needed, and it’s in supply and demand through Mr. Futrell daily in the guidance office. He helps students find colleges, job pros- pects, and careers in the military, if they so desire. Arranging for testing schedules and the ever- unpopular dot-tests” are just a few more of his jobs as guidance counselor. Any way you look at it, these three men are a vital part ot what RCHS is today, and what it will become in the dawning of tomorrow.
