The counseling department and the library are two spots that even the greenest fresh- man can locate unerringly. Mr. Gridley, Mrs. Miller, and Mr. Amick make themselves readily available to the student body. Issuing admit and release slips, planning schedules, and guiding and helping students with their problems are all in a day's work for these especially trained faculty members. The more than 4,500 books in the library are cared for by Mrs. Bishop, who is assisted by student librarians. Students can get per- iodicals, many types of reference books, and fiction and nonfiction books. The library al- so includes files and materials on colleges and universities. It is no wonder that every RHS student knows the location of these two very impor- tant places. From his first year until his last, the counseling department and the library are essential to him.

RIGIDITY OF TRIANGLES ns oppuled tn the rlzldlty of qllndrnlntenh in this day's leunn ln geometry dun. Under the guidance of six capable instruc- tors, science and math enthusiasts broaden their knowledge of the fundamentals of the Space Age, and develop practical skills for future vocations. Graduation requirements in mathematics are fulfilled by algebra or general math, while braver souls venture on to the rigors of plane geometry. There they encounter Eu- clid's postulates, and learn to think logically through the proof process. For those inter- ested in technical careers, advanced algebra and senior math provide an excellent back- ground. A well-rounded science program mixes lab- oratory work with lectures and textbook as- signments for maximum results. Sophomores explore the inner workings of grasshoppers, frogs, and worms in biology lab, while chem- istry students experiment with the newly in- stalled semi-micro apparatus. RHS budding physicists got a jolt from a Leyden Jar while exploring the mysteries and functions of electricity.
