Novices in the field of publication, these Journalism I students learn the ins and outs of publishing. After a year spent in learning the fundamentals of journalism, these buz groups v ill break up as the individuals work for a position on the staff of the school newspaper, the Rampage. The art of presenting an effective oration is one of the school learned skills most widely used after graduation. In addition to learning the proper writing and delivering techniques of a formal speech, students also learn self- confidence in preparation for meeting people in everyday life. Judy Gibbs is shown dem¬ onstrating proficiency in the oratorical art. Language-arts in varied forms With headquarters in room 208, the advanced journalism class has financed the purchase of their entire equipment at a cost of over $1,400. Sue Endicott, in foreground, and Judy Spahr use the mimeoscopes in last minute preparation on the Rampage. Those students aspirjng to attend college make a last stop for high school English instruction in room 216. Two such students, Larry Oliszewski and Sandy Kibler, appear puzzled over an assignment implacably administered by their sedulous instructor. Miss Josephine Sparks.

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.
