The ever expanding library at Riverside administered literary aid to a large majority of the students this year. A place of quietude, the library's purpose was to offer reference mater- ials consisting of encyclopedias, fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, and newspapers to knowledge-seeking individuals. Students often utilized the quiet atmosphere of the library for academic purposes. Bill Koach and Mike McCullough. MUSIC Music has long been used by man as a means of self-expression. In class, students cultivated the ability to discover the moods a composer placed in his works by studying the styles of many well-known artists, and developed the competence to convey vocally the emotions of a song by learn- ing the many terms and symbols associated with music. 25

Un- der the capable direction of Mr. Fresh- corn, this was demonstrated in the many eye catching exhibits placed throughout the school and commun- ity. By devoting their time and tal- ents to creating posters and scenery, the members of the art department were the recipients of much appre- ciation throughout the school year.

Most humbly do l take my leave my lord. Senior students acting out a scene from Hamlet. Linda Shaffer, Ernie Reese and Mike Bieselt. Delivering impromptu speeches gave students experience for the future. ENGLISH English has been, is at present, and will con- tinue to be the basis for most of the education in our schools. In the English classes an attempt was made to teach us to communicate our ideas to others through writing and speaking. The fun- damentals of grammar, also of great importance in most endeavors, were stressed over and over again by conscientious teachers. A better under- standing of the world and the people in it was gained through the study of the works of such famous authors as Twain, Dickens, and, of course, the immortal Shakespeare. Students were taught to think for themselves and to formulate their own opinions of life. These opinions, discussed at length when brought up through reading, were tossed around and final opinions gave the in- dividual pupil a chance to set values for himself. A basic knowledge of English and Literature will always be of use in our lives. Mr. Ellenich demonstrates the art of changing a tire to Sandy Lumley and J udy Stratton. DRIVER EDUCATION Although driving an automobile is not considered an art, it requires nu- . merous skills. The juniors learned the proper operation of a vehicle in the Driver Education classes taught by Mr. Ellenich. Requirements for this half- credit course included thirty hours of classroom study, six hours of behind- the-wheel driving, and an examina- tion at the conclusion of the semester. After studying correct driving proce- dures and important facts pertaining to Driver Education, the students be- came more alert and better motorists. --2
