To each member of the Class of January, 1960 I extend best wishes for a very successful and rewarding future. Whether you find your place in the home or office, in industry or business, in a trade or in a profession, it is my hope that your high school education may serve you well. If you have learned to make wise decisions along with the acquisition of a broader and more tolerant outlook on life, your years spent at Rhodes High will have been very much worth while. Carl B. Ferguson You can’t plan your life with laboratory precision; there’s such a thing as the unexpected and exposure to the lightnings of opportunity. But you can see that your education will prepare you for many different jobs which make different demands upon you and lead to different rewards. May the satisfaction of your education at Rhodes, January graduates, be the quiet pleasure of exercising it in ways useful to society. Annabelle Whalen 7

English Department The number and variety of English courses at Rhodes High makes this department the largest one in the school. At least ninety per cent of twelfth grade pupils elect one or two semesters of English after they have completed either 60 or 70 points in required English. This plan of free elections permits specialization in such types of literature as the short story, the American novel, Shakespeare, and modern drama. Courses preparatory to college or job are pre-college English and business English. Various abilities in communication arc tested periodically: vocabulary, spelling, mechanics of correctness, reading level, and grammar. A standard for graduation is a rating of at least 11A on the grammar test. ✓ Diana Nupp Norma Staley John Corrigan I, Joseph Stevens Lorraine Stilin Robert Hon Bernice Ord Virginia Sancetta Dramatics Department Constance Burton Dramatics, one of the smaller departments at Rhodes, provides the student body with both entertainment and valuable instruction.
