W RIDGEVILLE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY PRINCIPAL The principal is the right hand man of every student and teacher although they do not always realize it. He is a strict disciplinarian when necessary, but he is also a true friend when someone needs one. SUPERIN TEN DEN T We are truly fortunate to have such a capable, efficient, and energetic super- intendent as Mr. Hesterrnan.

SHADOW GIRL OF THE YEAR MIRIAM MAASSEL Our Shadow Girl--yet so real that all might well seek to follow in her footsteps. Ambitious--time knows no limits and work comes before play. Personality--her quick smile and her ready laugh bespeak her always friendly nature, A student-- scholarship spells success. A purpose in life--to be of better service in work, in play, in social activities, and in church. Would that all students were of such high and noble ideals. SHADQW BOY OF THE YEAR ROBERT MEYER Our Shadow Boy--yet a very real young man. Athletic--strong in competition, yet modest in victory. Quiet--unassuming, but a friend to everyone. Morally up- right--knows honesty and respects right living. Youthful--yet mature in judgment and purpose. Personality--quietly attractive and his immaculate neatness is always noticeable. School is a more pleasant place because of him, Seniors Turn Teache rs Christmas Operetta Come On F alcons, Get It In Cheer Those Boys On To Victory l Q. : 'xxx , is , . i . What'S So Funny!
