School is, after all, a place to work, to get some knowledge, so we won't have to take the rap when we are out in the world. Op- portunities which many schools do not offer are found here. Typing, chemistry, and art are three exam- ples. For reference work, we have our well-equipped library. With sleeves rolled up and de- termination on their faces, ,once in a while the students do sit down and work. For proof, just look at the pictures! We Work . . .

Varied and multiple are the ac- tivities at Rocky high. Opportuni- ties to broaden one's knowledge, acquaintances, and skill are pro- vided and easily achieved. Each part is fitted into its proper place as a stone in a wall or an arch in a bridge. With a judge, jury, lawyers, and even a thief, the civics classes stage a mock trial in the activity room, learning how our courts operate while having fun at the same time. That is modern education! Athletics and publications are only a few of the many after-school activities in which any one may participate. Beyond the hills the sun slowly sinks from sight as, with class work and extra work finished, those peo- ple call it a day. Yes, it is a great life-working and playing together, building a firm foundation. In the following pages, we shall see how many stones we placed and how many arches we erected in 1939-1940.
