FOREWO RD As we turn the pages of this year- book, it brings to mind many memories of our past years at school, and will always serve as a' reminder of The Happiest Years.

Decorations representing the atrium and peristyle of a Roman house formed an appropriate background for the Roman wedding of Bruce Leatherman and Marsha Harris. Wedding feast was served in the peristyle, and during it the Latin I stu- dents took the newly-weds on a tour of the entertainment spots of Old Rome via a chariot race, a visit to the opera, and a gladatorial combat. Following the wine ceremony, pre- sided over by Mr. Baccus Sharick, a wedding procession entered the street. It was decorated with shops, a fountain, and a temple. The bride was lifted across the threshold and greeted with fire and water as a reminder that glam- our must yield to household chores.

The Spanish Club, la Tertulia, consists of the twenty-one members of the Spanish l class. 1 Like all Spanish-speaking boys and girls, the group received their Christmas gitts on the Dia de los Reyes Magos in January at the home of Diann Steiner. As a part of this celebration, they broke the traditional pinata which was a red and white burro filled with candy. The class is divided into three groups who com- lpete in a vocabulary contest. At the close of each contest, the losers always entertain the winners at a party.

Nurses Club was formed primarily for those interested in nursing, but is open to all interested in a career in any phase of the medical field. lt's purpose is to increase interest and knowledge in nursing and to give a true- to-life picture of what a career in nursing holds. J.E.T. . JETS was formed to stimulate interest in science and engineering among R.H.S. students. The club is intended for those who have an aptitude and interest in science and mathe- matics. It promotes and encourages good schol- arship and proficiency in high school subiects as prerequisites for future training. It aids the student in discovering and appraising his own abilities, aptitudes and interest in these' fields. Working on a proiect are Dick Reffert, Karen Adams, and Eddie Weideman. This club is comprised of students who have volunteered their services in the school library. Be- sides working at the desk, they help get new books ready for circulation, keep the magazines in order, return books to the shelves, and re-arrange books in their proper order.

Just another example of the discussions and reports given in Psychology. Psychology, a new course to our curricu- lum, is taught by Mr. Pyle. Eighteen seniors discuss everything from lnteriority Complexes to Sibling Rivalry. Fun! Huh? CQMPOSITIO English Composition, a college prepara- tory course for seniors, is taught by Mr. Pyle. In this lively little class, the students are given a chance to exercise their imagin- ations and to learn the correct way to write essays, plays, short stories, and research papers - one of those necessary evils of college! Eeel -- This is art? Just another sample of what goes on in composition class. Penny Reffert and Dave Bernhardt show their masterpieces. RE DI The reading course furnishes students with materials and an incentive to improve both speed and comprehension. By using the reading accelerator, and reading the educational issue of each month's Reader's Digest, many students are making greater improvements and increasing their enjoyment of reading. Joe Ellis and Richard Samic use the reading accelerator. SPEECH Mary Workman gives her presentation to the class. Talking is the most common form of communication that we have, more direct and more exact than any written language. Speech has value only in so far as it conveys ideas or emotions. In speech class you ac- quire the ability to speak better and experi- ence the satisfaction that accompanies suc- cessful achievement. You learn to speak, and like it! SPANISH Proud ot their achievement in the vocabulary race are Ronnie Kuntz and Sue Rohrer. Spanish Class is divided into three groups, Los Siete Centavos, Los Tontitos, and Los Gonadores. They compete in vocabularies and the side with the highest amount of words missed throws a party for the winners. LTI i Latin Class meets twice a day, once for the freshmen and once for the sophomores. They take vocabularies and learn about the Roman way of lite, plus a sprinkling of ancient Roman mythology. First year Latin Students, Bob Reffert and Sharon Steiner, exhibit their books, showing a part of Rome. 50 i f COMMERCIAL The class learns to set margins.
