Dr. Nees works for students Now here's another important man an our campus. This is Dr. Ness, our dedicated principal. He had a very busy year. He has worked hard on four special projects along with his normal duties. , One of these projects dealt with the giidefguidee program introduced this year. He tried to assess its strengths and weaknesses and decide how best to adjust the system to make it even better for next year's students and faculty. He also worked toward developing the new stadium at the fairgrounds into the RHS sports program. Because of a lack of adequate facilities on our own campus, Dr. Nees felt that this was the best course of action. It would avoid the expense of keeping our dilapidated grandstands and would also be an added use of the new grandstands. .W . Our Shop Theatre was closed for public performances since December 1976, and Dr. Nees has been actively attempting to get it reopened. He felt that this affected a number of the stu- dent body, and they deserved a place to present their performances. Perhaps the greatest of his concerns was centered around an extensive cam- pus study. That study was begun to determine which buildings were sound and which were not. From there a deci- sion would be made as to whether the present campus should be remodeled or the school relocated. Dr. Nees felt that this had been a very interesting year and one of his best years since he came to RHS. He enjoyed the year and was proud of the senior class and the leadership and examples they set. f-! I6 Principal

Working together, Mr. Ricketts and Mr. Loomis have done greatjobs. Mr. Ricketts worked with curricu- lum, a big part of which was the admin- istering of minimum competencies for graduation. Further he spent a large portion of his time observing the teach- ers and making written evaluations of each one. He was also responsible for assisting in interviewing new 'teacher applicants. Mr. Loomis was concerned with such challenging areas as student attendance, smoking and parking. lt was a deep concern of Mr. Loomis' to be as fair as possible in dealing with these situations. a!Mr. Allen Ricketts stops to talk a while with Terry Williamson. bf You can't be serious. says Mr. Loomis to a misguided student. cfDr. Ness outlines the year's goals to the faculty. dfDr. Nees relaxes as he talks with a counselor. ef What. even assistant principals get coffee breaks? ffWith a look of concern on his face.
