 1 here are paths to the future and paths to the past. The world of social sciences at RHS delved into both. With such classes as Colonial American History and Winning the West, students backtracked into a concentrated study of American history. In the fine arts field, both art and craft classes produced exceptional results. Talent also abounded in RHS's musical quarters. Band, choir and symphonic band, among others, revealed the excellence which comes only from diligent work and above-average instruction. The social studies department probably offers a greater variety of courses than many colleges. The teachers volunteer to teach a new course and if the course is approved the students decide whether it will be taught or not by their enroll- ments. Thus there is a continuous rich variety of courses offered by a lively staff of varying temp- eraments and styles which hopefully accommo- dates all students at RHS, Mrs. Peg Bobbitt, department head, said.

Peggy Bobbitt — History The biggest improvement would come about if all students felt a stake in the outcome of their own education. In the last analysis, there is no free lunch, and the only valuable learning which takes place is when the student is giving something. It is an interesting experience to have as students children of my high school classmates. Every day in teaching is funny, or meaningful or frustrating. Joyce Dorr — History He remembers . . .

I am still trying to recourse. Beatrice Lompert — Psychology, Behavioral Disorders, World Leaders, World History, Sociology Undo Tincknell — History, Consumer Educa- tion I think the students have been more enthusiastic this year especially in regard to Homecoming. Naturally better physical facilities will help. But perhaps even more students who want to be responsible. David Hinze — History, Asst. Football Coach, Head Baseball Coach 28 • Social Science
