hey ' re never left in the dark In the main office on an exceptionally windy day in January, the all-too-familiar pitter-patter of typewriter keys hitting paper was miss- ing. The background music from a local radio station was silenced. The day was different. The power had gone out several times during the morning and had come back on, but now it seemed as if it were off for good. The secretaries, even in the semi-dark, remained un- ruffled. If it weren ' t for the silence, it would seem a nor- mal day. The secretaries were as kind and as helpful as ever. After seventeen years of being a secretary at RHS, Barbara Bleck can still say, I enjoy working here very much. Working with the kids is a lot of fun. It makes you feel younger, listening to their problems, helping them out and being their friend. A new secretary, Jackie Bendix, expressed as much enjoyment and satisfaction as veteran Bleck. I think the feeling of friendship is the most important feeling I get from working here, she stated. I get a lot of support from the people I work with. Almost hidden from view in the main office is the pri- vate enclave of Adeline Fowler, long-time secretary and student activities book- keeper. It ' s interesting as to how many staff members have been here as long as I have -- almost eighteen years — and it ' s neat to see so many of our former stu- dents come back as staff members. a 1 .

Having more honor classes gave students the choice of a challenge. More students were getting serious about their college educations and more par- i ents were encouraging their kids to set higher goals. More students want to learn and we ' be glad to offer more honor classes to the students. In fact, we try to offer a little more to encourage them to achieve excellence, stated Assistant Principal Ron Needham.
