CLASS HI TORY When we the members of the Class of I9611 entered the seventh grade in Sept- ember of I958, we had come from Rising Sun, Conowingo, and Calvert Elementary Schools. One of the highlights of our first year of iunior high was a trip to Philadel- phia where we visited the Franklin Institute, Independence Hall, and the Philadelphia Airport. Another activity was a picnic at the Rising Sun Community Pond. In the eighth grade, we sang in a Christmas program, and at the end of the year, we took a trip to Hershey Park. At the beginning of the ninth grade, we chose the course of study that we wished to pursue for the next four years. Some of us went to Wilmington to see Midsum- mer Night's Dream. The entire class went on a tour of the Tide Water Oil Refinery. Later in the year we visited our state capital, Annapolis. The music department for the first time presented an operetta, Gypsy Rover, in which many of our class members participated. The next year we came back as hard working sophomores. The Sweater Hop was one of our money making projects. Many members of our class took part in Carousel, which was presented in the spring. At the end of the year some of the classes went to Willow Grove Amusement Park. At the beginning of our Junior year we received our class rings. We began to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom in the spring. In the fall we held a Record Hop, and at Christmas, we sold Christmas cards. During that year, the Music Depart- ment presented Oklahoma, We began making plans in February for our Prom. We set the date for May I I with the theme Oriental Gardens. As we approached the end of the year, the staff was selected for the 64 Ray , thus, work on the most important book of our lives was started. As we returned in September of '63 as Seniors of R.S.H.S., we were all thinking about our future and of graduation day. In December we presented our class play, The Perfect ldiot. After Christmas vacation, we sponsored Pep Week. Then we selected our name cards and announcements. After mid-years we began to give attention to the planning of Class Night, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. A CHALLENGE Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. The immortal words inscribed above are taken from the Inaugural Address of our late president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. When we carefully evaluate these words, we discover in them a special meaning for each of us. We received the greatest gift of all when we inherited the gift of freedom. It is up to our generation to either maintain and supplement this gift to be passed on to our posterity or to let it wither and die at a crucial point of its existence. Let us take our courage in hand to face the challenge, no matter how great, To maintain and preserve this gift we so love and cherish.
