Riverdale High School - Rambler Yearbook (Port Byron, IL)

This year 3l students enrolled in French. Two graduated at the end of the first semester, two moved away and four dropped which left the enrollment down to 23 at the end of the first semester. - lt is hopeful that there will be two French classes next year. French l is for those stu- dents that wish to begin their French studies. French ll is for those students who wish to embellish upon their French studies. When asked how does the French class help the Riverdale student, Mrs. Fritz replied: Basically the students become aware of an- other culture, another people, their country, and language. lt provides a whole new vista of learning when a student becomes aware that he can communicate in another tongue.

LIVI G INSIDE MY ELF ,Q J ,M Mr. Dirks' Health classes this year are concentrating more on the health and safety of others. Many guest speakers are coming in in- cluding ones from the Quint City Drug Abuse Center and from the Mental Health Center. Another ad- dition to the health department is new books. Also, this year, instead of just learning the steps to artifi- cial respiration, the students prac- tice the technique themselves on Resuscitation Annie CSessiej from the Red Cross Center in Moline, and are even receiving official First Aid Cards.
