Ron Christenson paces himself so that he will have the energy required to leave school. ENGLISH Courses in English are varied and challenging The language arts department will always be remembered as one of the more stirring facets of RHS. Students were stirred at each grade level through exposure to great literature. Sophomores were awakened with Cyrano De Bergerac. Juniors were caught unaware by Huckleberry Finn. The seniors, with two big years behind them, were not to be taken by surprise. They accepted Shakespeare's Macbeth with absolute calm, even slumber. After absorbing these books, many classes used the panel discussion method to interpret them. The theory behind this method is that it affords the student a better environment in which he can tell stories, fool around, and in some cases talk about what they've read.
