Coming to English The five Language Arts teachers at RHS had a full schedule for stu- dents to cope with during the 1986- 87 school year. Mrs. Bair taught the juniors all about To Kill a Mock- ingbird and how to write fun and exciting compositions. Mrs. Ear- nest brought her students to terms with the English language and how it relates to reading and writing. Mr. Underwood gave his usual en- thralling course in Mythology, terms with along with such classics as Romeo and Juliet and lulius Caesar. Mr. Crenshaw's students were fortu- nate enough to study reading, writ- ing, and thinking. Great emphasis was stressed on the thinking as- pect. Seminar students were taken on solely by Mrs. Brock. Freshmen started their high school English experience with forms and terms in literature. The Sophomores contin- ued this study, with themes in lit- erature. The juniors started a new trend with an in depth study and analysis of American literature. The Seniors closed out their high school career with a survey of Eng- lish literature and accomplishing the feat of learning critical analysis. The Senior Seminar students year long project was to complete a slide show consisting of pictures of RHS students and setting it to ap- propriate music. This project would bring to a close their high school days, and yet have them pre- served for future referances to the past. Misty Kuntzsch and Tammy Conrad do some last minute cramming for a grammar test. Rhonda Dickens reads a fascinating bed-time story to her big pal.
