Students S hare Their Cie i oY Time In Summer While many of the students were taking vacations and getting tan, sev- eral selected people were being instructed on a cram course in Gov- ernment, and taking courses in college to better their talents. Boy’s State which was held at Lynchburg College, and Girl's State which was held at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia, were both spon- sored by the American Legion. Both of these programs are devised to teach juniors in high school, the importance of government. Inciuded in the agendas at Boy’s and Girl’s State were personal attendances by Attorney General An- drew Miller, Lieutenant Governor John Dalton. There was never a dull moment for the six delegates. Many friends were made, and when the week was over you felt as though you had lost several of the best friends you had ever met. Anne Thomas attended the Gover- nor’s School for the Gifted at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia. For one month Anne met many college courses first hand.

Being Aware Two of the new things that the people at R.H.S. found were the addition of new lunch tables and a new code of ethics which was commonly known as the Hand- book. Whether the students enjoyed the new lunch tables or not couldn't be dis- covered, but they are a lot neater and easier to clean up, and the student body probably needed the change. The Senior class ordered special lunch tables which should bring about some excitement in the cafeteria. The new Handbook was written in hopes that some of the rules wouldn't be broken as often. It included everything from announcements to public affection to the dress code. Most students who read it found it amusing while a scant few found it in the trash can. Oh, well, wait until next year. 12 Student Life Jeff Phillips finds that the Handbook leaves something to the imagination.
