TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration Classes Organizations Activities Athletics Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Grades A TIME OF HONOR Because of her love and devotion to Richland High School, the 1972 RICHLANDER is dedicated to Mrs. Norma Noe. Vi 6 A TO TIME LOVE Mrs. Noe has been Mr. Halter's sec- retary for the past six years. She and the office help do the routine work that is essential for the operation of the school. Mrs. Noe always has the ability to greet everyone with a warm and friendly smile, and is always will- ing to devote her time to help with any problems which the faculty or students may have. We each realize how much Mrs. Noe's services mean to the school. Because of these and many other reasons, we dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Norma Noe as a symbol of our appreciation.

Through years of careful planning and preparation, the administration has strived to provide a favorable atmosphere for us students and to bet- ter prepare us for our entrance into society. Thus, the administration speaks to us and serves as a tie between the school and community. ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION The six board memoers (pictured above) work with Superintendent B. Wayne Johnson to establish our school poli- cies which have made R.H.S. a success. Our Board consists of Barton L. Warren President, who has served on the board for eighteen years. Raymond York, seventeen years; Olan Gilbert, nine years; Mrs. Milford Brackett, four years; Jim Baker, four years, and Russell Gibson, two years, are also mem- bers of our school board.

Powers, Geneva Deberry, STAFF MEMBERS-- and Esther Raines. Workers Behind the Scenes Awakening the school with the swish- ing of brooms, sizzing of slowly cooking food and clacking of type- writers, staff members arrive early to stay late. Indispensable are the duties they perform smoothly. Snow, sleet, or rain, the busses have to run. They carry many happy and sad faces home from music con- tests, band trips, and exciting basketball games. Members of the County Health Depart- ment visit the school regularly. Students receive eye check-ups and tuberculin skin tests. ■ Eye Check-ups were given to the stu- dents of Richland by Mrs. Roam, our county nurse. A never-ending job is descriptive of the work of our custodian at Rich- land. Every morning finds Henry preparing for another day's general maintenance and cleaning. When ask- ed to vote for outstanding students, his reply was, I just love you all. V Efficient Workers Giving of their time to help chil- dren with their homework and other areas in which they need help, these students prepare the chil- dren for the school years ahead. BELOW: Pam Sheeley helps one lit- tle boy with his multiplication. The grade-school janitors, Buddy Schott and Harvey Sasseen, pro- vide the students with an oppor- tunity to attend school in an atmosphere of clean surroundings. Striving to prepare nutritional meals for growing children is a great responsibility for these ladies.

Each class, taken in its own perspective, is something for which to be thankful. Thus, this knowledge, this experience, and these memories are things to be kept for all time. CLASSES EXPLORATION Students at RHS takes a look into the many mysteries of math and science while learning the basics essential for man to function in an increasingly technological society. Those enrolled in biology and ecology courses are encouraged from their studies of the plant and animal kingdoms to learn more about why man acts and lives as he does. The major objectives of chemistry and physical science classes was the controlled experience in problem solving. Math, algebra, geometry, ad- vanced algebra, trigonometry presents the difficult problems of convenience versus scientific exactness present in a space- age society to confused but leanning students. 26 An Area Of Self-Expression Through Dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, duet acting, extemporaneous speaking, and debate, students overcome any fear of appearing before an audience. Vocal music and concert band means an out- standing amount of hard work on the part of the many talented members, but it is richly rewarding. The class time is spent working on various selections they perform in the Christmas concert, spring concert, and the Rolla District Contest. In literature class, the students study literature of all ages and grammar. This gives the students an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the subject. 29 VOCATIONAL Preparation for Future Careers Building a richer future for them- selves, the students in the home economics department test their skills in the arts of cooking, sew- ing, child care, and health. The function of the business educa- tion department is to prepare stu- dents for their vocations, to devel- op personal skills, and to teach students how to operate and main- tain a successful business. The department also offers a wide vari- ety of courses to provide the stu- dents with practical knowledge of business skills and practices. Students in general shop are taught the basic essential skills neces- sary to create different objects in wood and metal. They are also taught skills in drafting, which prepare than for the future ahead. In vocational agriculture, students are taught courses in electricity, live-stock production, soil produc- tion, soil testing, the different varieties of seed, surveying, and varieties of seed, surveying, and internal combustion engines. Thus, they are being prepared for their futur e. 30 31 UNDERSTANDING LEADS TO In this modern, complex world, the ability to understand and communi- cate effectively has become of vital importance. Realizing this, the English and history teachers empha- size the practical application of these subjects daily. By studying historical events, we learn how times have changed; and by studying communication skills, we learn how to appreciate these events and how to apply them to our own lives. BETTER COMMUNICATION SKILL FUN, AND FITNESS Before starting the car, Roy Forester checks to see that every- thing is in perfect running order. The girls prepare for the kick- off as Coach White supervises the soccer game. Helping Charlotte Thornsberry is one of the many duties performed by Mr0 Olson. Molding character and developing leadership are the two major functions of our organizations. By promoting the ideals of service, character, and leadership, different organizations step out and take an active role in each of our lives. By leading the way, they help to build within each and every one of us confidence in ourselves and the ability to organize and plan the many activities that help to make Richland High School a success.

Each individual will go his own separate way, and all the train- ing and experience he receives will make that road a little easier to travel. Through activities such as assistant librarians and office helpers, we gain knowledge in different fields of work and study. These basic es- sentials will be useful the rest of our lives.

They touch our lives in ways that no other person can. They offer encouragement when we have problems, they are consider- ate of our ideas, and they are patient so that we can ask for help. Our teachers guide us in our search for knowledge. Special classroom projects and outside assignments help us to gain a better understanding of the subject matter, patience, deter- mination, and dedication help them develop the best qual- ities in us. Teachers axe special persons--special because they are en- trusted with young mind and they are given the power to shape and develop our minds. Our teachers are our friends. Tomorrow their words will be only echoes in our minds. . . but how true those echoes and how bright their inspiration. Miss Jane Baumann conducts cours- es in Speech and Freshman Eng- lish.

To the Sophomores: A list of all the ways to cheat on exams. (You will find them hidden behind a loose brick, the 4th from the right in the 39th row, on the East side of the high school building.) P. S. None of the 1,976,016 ways worked anyway. To the Freshmen: Our old ticket stubs left over from school activities. (Maybe you can use them to sneak into future activities.) However; use them legally. That is, sneak in when nobody is looking. The other way just doesn’t look well. J. L.
