Addition benefits almost eueryone Modernized library, carpeted halls, up-to-date classrooms, bright lockers, and clean restrooms are all a part of a new look for RHS. The main attraction, enjoyed by students and faculty, is the new library with its “pit” featuring modular furniture and a skylight. Entrance and exit tumstyles tabulate people using the library. “The plants seem to make it a little homier,” stated Pam Lieberenz, librarian. Also included in the library package are digital clocks, a classroom, a conference room, a professional library for teachers and offices for the librarians. The professional library is for non-smoking teachers where tney may grade papers or type. New classrooms, equipped with everything from shiny desks to smooth chalkboards lack, however, one very important feature-pencil sharpeners. Rounding out this modern addition is Mr. Poland’s computer room equipped with the latest offered by modern technology. Area dignitaries, including the mayor, a senator, and the govenor helped celebrate an open house and dedication of the Library Media Center in February. CHECKOUT TIME—Mrs. Schuler helps a student check out library materials as the effective checkpoint system waits to catch an unwary book thief. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD-Junior Ron Meridith presides over an important meeting in the new library classroom available to all teachers for special use. 6 Media Center
