A.P. Social Studies added All social studies returned to RHS last fall with the addition on the new course for juniors: Advanced Placement U.S. History. Social studies, being a required class, was taken by everyone. The new course, however, was taught by Kay Dietl and was offered to juniors with a strong grade point average and a keen interest in history. Hopefully it will be expanded and available to more students next year,” said Dietl. She added, “It has been a challenge to both the teacher and students. Some seniors were relieved to find that they did not have to take the same social studies class all year. The choice of economics, government, psychology or street law added variety to their year.

Science full of wonder Minor changes in Roosevelt’s science department went smoothly in the 1985-86 school year. David Nelson assumed the responsibilities of J. S. Futcher who retired last year. Nelson changed his class schedule slightly, teaching biology instead of his usual classes, physical science. A bright, new teacher, Beth Ritacco, livened up the science department. She took on Nelson’s former classes of ninth grade science and was one of the Standard’s “Teachers of the month. Freshmen were amazed at the more advanced science required at RHS. Though physics and chemistry were offered to all. the classes were taken mainly by juniors and seniors. Most stuck with the courses even though the first tri was often a challenge. Science classes, even though only required In ninth and tenth grades, were very popular. Even after school hours students came back to work on projects.
