What was your first impression of RHS? What is it now? “At first it seemed like everyone got along well. Now as seniors everybody gets in their own groups. Debbie Dav idson, senior “At first I thought I would hate it like junior high. Now I really like it. Bruce Pennington, junior “At first I thought it would be fun to be in a large school. But now I don't think it’s large enough. Kay Pruett, junior “ I thought it was awfully big and I wanted very much to go back to Hibberd. I love it now! Denise Vecera, junior “ I was going to have fun; you gotta work.” Mark McKale, junior “ I thought RHS would really be fun and have a lot to offer, but it doesn’t have a great deal to choose as far as classes goes. We need more of a vocational school, there’s too much we have to take. This school’s OK, but it needs a lot of changes. Debby Collier, senior Do you like the new phase-elective English program? (This program was offered to all sophomores this year and will be extended to all grade levels next year. “Yes, because you don't have the same teacher and class all year. You also get to pick your choice of classes.” Cathy Lawler, soph “Yes, it gives the student a choice on what classes he would like and it also gives him a feeling of responsibility making his own decisions. English now is something to look forward to.” Mike DeMao, soph “ No, there are no goals to set. I find it very boring. I personally enjoyed the other academic and general classes much more. Soph girl What changes could be made to better RHS? “ Ik able to leave to eat and still have a 4th hour; not have certain classes required; not have attendance records — if a person wants to ditch, let him. lie’s the one who’s hurting.’ John Clevenger, junior “ Fewer rules, more trust between student and teacher. If there were a more relaxed atmosphere and more emphasis on relevant subjects, I would be satisfied. Zachary Patterson, junior “ Lessen the emphasis on athletics. It seems as if those participating in sports are the only ones ever recognized as being members of Rf IS. Those talented in the arts should receive equal recognition. Kathy Kriner, junior “ Better selection of food in the cafeteria, more counselors, less emphasis on the band, more science courses. Kevin Klose, junior “ I think the relationships between whites and blacks could be better. Susie Misner, soph “ Build a bigger parking lot.” Luther Story, soph “Change grading system in gym. Soph boy “There could be some changes in the curriculum — more choices and classes which are more relevant with what is going on today; for example, a science course totally involved with ecology. Hesty Bradbury, junior “ I would like to see an organized hockey league to play other schools. Brian Johnston, soph “ I can’t think of any changes to make RHS better right now. I like it just the way it is.” Debra Si inker, soph “Control traffic problem in halls. Mike Handley, soph 4 Introduction
