MISS MARTHA MRS, L. J. GARRETT MRS. DAN GILBERT MISS MAGGIE HINTON MISS CHARLOTTE CLINGAN LEWIS Gund Hzglish is fha Heart af Llrfur Kumar Students are required to take at least the first three years of English and most of the students take all four years of English. Literature, spelling, and grammar are stressed in all the English classes. Novels are studied and enjoyed by all students. ' A new feature in our cur- riculum is our speech depart- ment. It offers first year speech for those interested in improving their public speak- ing, reading and poetry inter- pretation. Debating is the main feat- ure of second year speech which may be taken three years. Our very active debate squad, a member of the La. Speech League, provides op- portunity for continued im- provement as a speaker and a writer. Journalistic k n ow-h o w and experience are available through work on the two pub- lications, the Resume and the Chatterbox. Thus, RHS provides a well- rounded base for all students. Found a mistake? Should I translate? Practice teacher, Mrs. Jones, consults English supervisors on a future IO lesson.

,fb fi-. MISS ALICE GRIFFIN MR. oscAR BARNES MR- S. K. HEARN Hue Arts Offer ,Urieeless Qlffb' ef Knowledge and ,Mueie fe Weave into Our lives We are very proud of our two musical units which have won top honors in many festivals. The vocal department features the choir, glee clubs, and smaller groups. They participate in festivals, concerts for other schools, and assemblies held in our own school. The instrumental music is separated into the concert and marching bands. They demonstrate precision marching during foot- ball season and fine instrumental music at all times of the year. These two groups pro- vide enioyable entertainment for the public and the students throughout the year. Each year our library has a greater sup- ply of materials and references with which to work. This progress in the school library is due to the co-operation of the teachers, administrators, librarian, , and students. The library is the foundation for all the subjects that are taught since infor- mation on any subiect may be found there. We, the Ruston High Students, have learned to appreciate our fine li- brary. 9

MR. R. W. PHILIPS MR. MORGAN PEOPLES MRS. MITCHELL MR. EARVIN RYLAND MRS. SMITH replaced MR, BRUCE BAGWELL Sncizzl Sciences Prepare lls for Our ,Nafivuis .?ufurc The social science program at Ruston High covers a wide field of subiects. The courses offered in this varied field are civics, geography, American History, Americanism vs. Communism, economics, sociology, and general history. Geography provides a solid foundation in the geographical features of the world. Many things about our state, federal, and local gov- ernments and our rights and duties as citizens are taught in civics. The history of the United States is discussed in detail in the American History classes. A new part of our curriculum this year was the corn- parison of democratic life and socialistic life in Ameri- canism Vs. Communism. The development of the entire world is covered in general history. Economics is a vital and interesting course offered to seniors. It prepares them for life on their own. Sociology, offered the second semester of the senior year, ex- plores social behavior patterns and laws and enables us to understand other people as well as ourselves. When you quote me, quote me exactly! Two new members of the faculty compare notes on current events. Going someplace? -
