ALUMNI ASSOCIATION In the spring of 1937 a group of the old graduates of the Ranchester High School got together and decided, as there would be no annual Junior- Senior Banquet, it would be nice to give an Alumni Banquet with the graduating class of 1937 and faculty members of the school as honored guests. A great deal of thought and planning was done and on Saturday night, May 22, the banquet was held with a very nice attendance of old graduates. Charles Alexander, faculty member of R. H. S., and an appointed hon- orary member of the Alumni Association acted as chairman and toast- master. The roll call of all old graduates and the year of their gradua- tion was called with approximately 25 alumni answering. At the conclusion of the Banquet, officers were elected to carry on for the next year. Gerald Osgard, ’27. elected president; Cecil Paulus, ’27. vice president; Chris Paustian, ’31, secretary and Hazel Rawlings Black, '31, treasurer. The members voted to make the Banquet an annual affair and though we should have some aim to help us along. The officers met and drew up the following, as aims of our association: 1. To create good will, a friendly feeling and a spirit of cooperation among all the graduates and between the school and community as a whole. 2. To establish as an annual occasion a reunion Banquet to be held each spring for all graduates and their wives or husbands. The graduat- ing class of R. H. S. and faculty members are to be honor guests. 3. To give a cash scholarship each year to the most deserving and worthy student of the class of that year. 4. Local members of the association to meet once a month for parties of some kind. 5. Each three months to give a community open house to raise funds to carry on our association. The members have gathered together through the past winter at many enjoyable parties and have given a dance also, the proceeds from which to be used as our cash scholarship. Plans are in progress for the Banquet to be held this year on June 11. The tickets can be secured from Hazel Black at $1.00 for an Alumni member for Banquet and dues or $1.50 for member and husband or wife. The Alumni hope and look forward to seeing a great many of our friends and classmates at the Banquet this spring and feel sure that our Alumni Association will be a great success in the future.

V Vt V V V V V V V y v v v v v v v v V V In the year 1935 only three members of the present Junior class were initiated into the Ranchester High School: Arthur Schilling, vice president; Wilbur Jester, secretary; and Bob Rawlings. Besides these three in the Freshman class were: Lil- lian Lutz, president; Frederick Deutsch, class reporter; Carl Kukuchka and Norma Fay Coast. The class colors were green and white, signifying ignorance and innocence. The second se- mester our class was enlarged by the addition of two new mem- bers: Bud Brooks and Edythe Ann Kuzma, who had attended Sheridan High School. Arthur, Carl and Lillian dropped school for the remainder of the term. The fall of 1936 found our class slightly altered. Frederick had resumed school in Dayton and we had a new member, Molly Harris of Wolf Creek. Class officers were: President, Norma Coast; Vice-president, Molly Harris; Secretary, Bud Brooks; and Class Reporter and Council Member, Edythe Ann Kuzma. September 1937 found our class altered still more. Norma had married Leonard Schilling and Elmo Harris of Wolf Creek and Wesley Newlon of Pierre, South Dakota were our new class- mates. Bud resumed school in Sheridan. Officers are: President, Molly Harris; Secretary, Wilbur Jester; and Council Member, Edythe Ann Kuzma. The Junior class has the distinction of having most mem- bers in athletics and highest grade average in Ranchester High School and also the first class in Ranchester High to have twins as class members: Molly and Elmo. The Junior-Senior Prom will be, we hope, a successful and fitting climax to our Junior year. Page 23
