Our well supplied library has extensive reading and reference materials to benefit the student body. Frequent musical exhibitions display the abilities of our band, orchestra, and cho- rus. These organizations are made up of hard- working students whose talent is a much appreciated addition to the school. Manage- ment of art media as well as an appreciation of the various art forms is offered to students who wish to develop their knowledge in this direction. All of these fine programs enrich the lives of the participating students. ,ii ,NN .... X. A, r X QA T' P 1 ,A it wi ja--,WY James L. Roth, Geraldine F. Roy, Erriestine H. Macdonald.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES The study of a foreign language plays an important part in the education of a student.

Since we are drawn much closer to people in other parts of the world today, this understanding is of great importance. Foreign language courses enrich our lives and are necessary to give us a liberal education. l Ti M s fs' tg gat- C? -5'-5 Seated: Clarissa B. Abbott, Wendell W. I-Iodgkins, jane R.

ENGLISH From the freshman to the senior year, our English classes at RMHS carry us into a land of literature and of knowledge. Through the reading of classics, we gain a greater understand- ing of our fellow mang we discover more about his way of life and understand his problems better. One objective of our English classes, to acquire an appreciation of literary master- pieces, is achieved through our reading of poetry, novels, essays, and short stories. No English course would be complete without a study of grammar and composition. We are taught how to express our ideas in correct and interesting English. 10
