Learning procedures... Ready, begin; asdf jkl; asdf jkl; That was a familiar beginning and result in the opening weeks of typing class. Later on the students learned to improve their fingering, speed, and accuracy with emphasis on correct procedure in business typing stressed in the second semester. business. Business of business is often complicated — Judy Tussing can testify to that, as she learns the operation of the adding ma¬ chine. Ruth Rothlisberger makes use of a paper cutter with the aid of Barbara Mansfield who checks the paper ' s measurements. One of the important functions of the business department, in addition to the teaching of business procedures, is the reproducing of various tests and impor¬ tant papers for other departments. Two Marilyn ' s (Ladd inspecting the finished copy and Anderson operating the ma¬ chine itself) use the ditto machine as Diane McComesky types a stencil.

The complicated world of math Signs and symbols, negative and positive numbers, square numbers, and unknowns are just a few of the numerical terms dealt with in the advanced algebra classes. Taken in the third or fourth year of the study of high school mathematics, the advanced course is designed to stimulate the student ' s mind toward the subject and encourage further a study of mathemati cs. Sue Ditt- man appears to have little trouble in the mastering of a typical ad¬ vanced algebra problem. High up in the study of mathematics, these trigonometry boys attack an impressive looking trigonometry problem with zest. Studying of trigonometry is the final step in mathematical preparation for college. Shown here, Jerry Hall demonstrates the opera¬ tion of a slide rule to Jim Lorenzen while Jon Zachman refers to the book for additional help.

The storehouse of knowledge Dedicated to the former superintendent of Adams Township public schools, the Sarah M. Perry Library contains over 3,800 volumes available to the students of RHS. According to Russell West, librarian, the reference and study room utilizes a staff of some 20 student librarians and 19 projectionists. As the head of the audio visual department and library ' s projectionists bettered their 1958 record of showing 334 films to 47,953 students at 1,093 showings. The concept of self-expression Art students apply their knowledge learned in beginning classes in this advanced group. Blending their own color combinations and applying them to canvas is no easy job, as the students soon learn in room 210. Mr. Don Eaton holds the job of lone instructor to future Rembrandts. Metal enameling is another of the jobs tackled by art students. Also taught in the advanced classes, the enameling work being done will eventually appear in various objects such as women ' s earrings, neck¬ laces, and bracelets.
