The past, the present, and the future. All these and more were studied by students in RHS’s Social Studies classes. Sophomores studied mainly America’s past for two trimesters, with the chance to get to the present during third trimester. Juniors studied the world's past for the first trimester and other world electives second and third trimesters. Seniors studied courses dealing with social problems in the past, present, and future. Special films and speakers enhanced the seniors’ classes. Psychology was a popular elective, captivating the minds of many seniors. Psychology students studied how people behave and even used operant conditioning on their fellow classmates. If anyone’s behavior changed this past year, he may have had a friend in Psychology conditioning them.
