beyond the confines of our own buildings and our own staff,” explained superintendent Robert Estabrook. The line-up of courses arranged by Laurie Marshall, coordinator of the gifted and talented program, cover seminars for elementary and high school students in computers, law, writing, animals, performing and art.
Resource teachers for the law seminar include local attorneys Douglas Baumgardner, David Konick. J. W. Fletcher III, Peter Luke and Sharon Genebach. The lawyers will explain the Virginia and U. S. court systems and different types of law (criminal, civil and contractual), and then argue a case in a demonstration of debate. Next, the students will take over, researching a case and preparing arguments for pro and con positions to be presented before Judge Snead.
With help from Sen. McCarthy, Diane Wood and Sally Bristol, aspiring writers, will try to create their own masterpieces in the writing seminar. Tentative plans call for their works to be published in a literary magazine, the first for RCHS.
Unemployment may be at its highest level since the Depression but the daily metropolitan newspapers are chock full of want ads for computer programers and analysts. Students in the gifted and talented program will get an introduction into the field in James Wood's computer seminar. Ken Ritvo and Tim Kilby will assist with presentations on architectural and graphic uses of computers. After mastering a few basics in language and programing, the students will then have a chance to do some actual "hands-on” work with computers.
Game warden James Bankston, veterinarian Barbara Kasbohm and taxidermist Rick Talley will join the forces to teach a seminar on animals that will include a talk by a representative from the National Zoological Park
