‘Now’ Image Attained by Indian City Trip Charles Gourd, Social Studies teacher, showed Mrs. Nancy Beveridge, who chaperoned an Oklahoma field trip, how he wanted to re-enact Custer's last stand for a Social Studies fun film. Books may have started it; but, wowl, did it ever stop there! Coach Gourd's classes showed initiative in going to Indian City — to see how the other have lived — and came back to Carlston their way into the hearts of students at the Student Variety Assembly. This subject is essentially a re- view of how people surmised, an- ticipated, and retaliated in times of stress; so Miss Zoldoeske's classes, who discussed, studied, and gave skits on the perennial struggle for mastery between hardhats and hip- pies, were right in the midst of bat- tle. They also involved themselves in the struggle of today's Women's Libbers. Meanwhile, Miss Tincknell's classes involved themselves — like everybody else does — in every- body else's business — in the study of U. S. involvement in For- eign Affairs. Heated panel discus- sions brought out personal views and reactions to various problems. Reality, drama, and comedy combined to create history courses that provided excitement as well as learning for those involved. It's easy to understand now, smilingly agreed student Teri McDonald, as Miss Linda Tincknell, Social Science teacher, finished explaining a national issue. 18

Counselors Guide Career Choices Career Day provided speakers for 53 areas of interest for all RHS stu- dents. Each teenager attended three sessions of his choice. Individual conferences between counselors and students gave expla- natory information for course plan- ning. Counselors also scheduled stu- dents into programs required for graduation. The Ohio Psychological test was given for the last time at RHS. All 224 Seniors took this test while those who planned for college took many others. Next year a college boards test will replace the Ohio Psychological. This year Sophomores received their guidance counseling from Mr. Dwayne Miles. Mrs. Ruby Roberts, Counselor, discussed plans for college entrance with Marcia Smith. 17

History moved out of dull books to become a “Now” thing at RHS. Student involved activities related to years gone by made people of the past become real human beings with problems as complicated as ours today. And fun that for other eras, seemed as “way-out” as some of ours today. Totem pole tactics proved a high point for Judy Vickers, (right) at Indian City. (Below) Floyd Rapier and Leslie Porter ran through their knee-knocking Charleston for a unique American History demonstration of life in the 20’s. Miss Linda Zoldoske lent a guid- ing hand to Debra Bailey on a review outline before that big American History test. 19
