ALL HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES HAVE BUSY YEAR AT R.H.S. Shh! Let’s try to quiet this noise down to a mild roar at least. Yes, you guessed it; it is the second of September and the first day of school, and everyone is so excited that he can't possibly be quiet a minute longer. This day began with thirty-four boys and girls enrolled; now at almost the end of the year we have just one less than when we started. During the first couple of weeks everyone but the seniors was waiting rather im- patiently to find out what the freshmen had to do for their initiation. I’ll assure you they were quite funny, with the boys clad in diapers, baby caps, and carrying baby bot- tles, and with some girls dressed in gunny sacks, and others in pajamas, shorts and hal- ters, with their hair braided into an innumerable quantity of braids. And we mustn't forget those delicious onions that were hung around their necks at the beginning of the day. On September 16, you could have felt electricity in the air again, but this time it was of another nature. All classes, clubs, and organizations elected their officers and sponsors. The seniors elected Dick Masters president; Jean Lewis vice president; Jeanne Tur- ner secretary; Darlene Fleming treasurer; and Barbara Fleming and Dave Hallowell stu- dent council representatives. Mr. Johnson is their sponsor. The juniors elected Jon Davis president; Gale Shatzer vice president; Florene Koch secretary; Norma Hauf treasurer; and Curtis Greer student council representative. Mrs. Walker is their sponsor. The sophomores elected Darryl Lowell president; Jerry Shatzer vice president; Frances Birdie secretary; Eddie Haratyk treasurer; and Robert Kramer student council rep- resentative. Mr. Benson is their sponsor. All the classes except the senior class, have either lost or gained a few members. The freshmen became the largest class in high school when Helen Pelesky came from Sheridan. Their officers are as follows: president, Donald Hauf; vice president, Larry Cook; secretary. Coralee Malyurek; treasurer, Larry King; and Marvel Turner and Eddie Kukuchka, student council representatives; sponsor. Miss Hansen. There are all sorts of secret plans and ideas flying around the building these days. The seniors have made a few plans toward sneak day, besides ordering their caps and gowns. The juniors have made their plans for the prom, but not a word about it has leaked out. They are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of their class rings, which were ordered November 15, 1952. The freshmen have also made a few plans for a dance honoring the seniors. It is to be held sometime in the near future and is being given in return for the nice picnic and mixer the seniors gave them in the fall. Another memorable year is about to end, with everyone doing his best to make this year better than the last.
