Time has a way of passing, and when the doors of RHS opened in September we foundk ourselves playing the envied role of Seniors . . . and we loved it. It was great to stroll through the halls and hear someone say: He's a Senior now. Maybe we shouldn't admit it, but we would sometimes walk by the seventh graders iust to bask in their admiring glances. But we soon learned there was a serious side to being a Senior. Our teachers expected us to work, and there were things to be done if we were to enjoy the tra- ditional events reserved only for Seniors. Mr. Samuel was named our adviser, and Miss Kauffman, assistant adviser. Nancy Wingard was elected president at our organization meeting, Dave Custer, vice presi- cient, Phyllis Showalter, secretary, and Sally Stewart, treasurer. Dave Custer suc- ceeded to the presidency when Nancy withdrew from school in December. ln sports our class made its contribution by supplying ten members of the foot- ball squad, and eight senior boys secured berths on the basketball team. ACCORDING TO THIS, WE ONLY NEED ABOUT 5999.09 MORE. Phyllis Showalter, Secretary: Nancy Wingard, President, Da Vice President, and Sally Stewart, Treasurer. ve Custer, TRDDUCI G . . .
