Ms. Barton, Attendance Secretary Faculty at RHS met the stu- dents the first day of school and from that moment on began eagerly watching the clock and counting the days until May 27. During the course of the year, teachers live six hours of every day with students — keeping them awake, pound- ing knowledge into their heads, putting up with their moods and getting to know them. That is 1080 hours for the entire school year and that is a lot of hours. The senior class of any year is always memorable to teachers. They realize that this is the final time they will teach these kids and the defenses are let down a bit. “Experiencing the students of the Class of '77 was the most memorable thing that happened to me this year, said Mrs. Bea Lampert. “The greatest thing that happened to me this year besides the Class of '77, was having an office with a door and walls that go to the ceil- ing,” said Mrs. Kaye Harmes, senior counselor. “RHS was a good place to spend a first year of teaching — the students were great,” said Mrs. Sharon Lightfoot. Dr. Jerry Thornsberry, prin- cipal, had something differ- ent to say. “The things that give me the most pleasure throughout the year are see- ing improvement in the day- in, day-out little things. Com- ing to school and seeing someone improving in some- thing.” Educators • 17
