After several of us had agreed to buy a second-hand study hall book from one of the upperclassmen, we caught on quickly. Following a few weeks of folly, we settled down, with the help of our sponsor, Miss MsSweyn, to show the other classes what we could do. This year James Harris made the football team, and James Lace and Bill Tigaan, the basketball squad. Mary Drain and Doris Krahenbuhl developed into leading girl athletes. Others of our number joined different clubs and activities. The sophomore year was certainly not dull for us. We enjoyed two good parties, one given us by the freshmen and the other by us. Bill Vaughn was added to the list of important athletes. James Harris, Betty Brough, and Anne Ingleson made a reputa- tion for us in the music department. With these' additions to our 'popularity and fame, the Class of 1940 entered its third year of high school. At last we reached the coveted goal of being upperclassmen. With a feeling of superiority, we started the year with high spirits. Our 'new football heroes were Bob Rewerts, Art Kettleson, Everett Jacobson, Bob Milligan, Bob Tigan, Bill Beck, and Homer Knight. Bill Beck alone represented us in tennisg Bob Rewerts and Bill Vaughn were on the track team. James Lace, voted this year's basketball captain, was supported by the Tigan cousins, Bill and Bob. Bill Beck, James Harris, and Ann Westin had .parts in the Jesters' annual play. The crowning event of the year, of course, was the Junior-Senior Prom. How we worked to put on one to do credit to our class! Starting the year as seniors was a thrill. We did nothing spectacular our last year but carried on as before. Ann Westin again had a part in the Jesteris play. She and Bill Richards, a newcomer last year, represented R. T. H. S. in the sub-district speech contests. He also was a regular on the football squad, while LaVerne Friday and Roland Schoonhoven, 1940 additions from Kings, shone on the basketball floor. We continued to take an active part in music, Jim Harris and Judson Calhoun having leads in the Mikado The last big event to which we are looking forward as the Tatler goes to press is our graduation. All in all, our four years in high school have been busy but happy ones. Twenly-Iwo

Marjorie Tyler, Wfilliam Thorpe, and Virginia Rainwater have since enrolled. In dramatics and music we find many juniors distinguishing themselves. Bob Kepner and Marjory Hetland had major roles in the Mikado, and Elsie Dibble was an excellent accompanist for them. Helen Barnett, Bob Kepner, Mary Jean Koritz, and Phil May all had leads in the Dramatics Club play, Relatives by Affection. John Roe entered the speech contest in extemporaneous speaking. This year, as always, our class has provided more than its share of athletes. On the football field, We saw Ralph Dailey, Valcre Degryse, Claude Haselton, Bob Kepner, Phil May, Thor Moluf, Henry Rittmeyer, John Roe, Virgil Stevenson, and Harry Troop. Valere Degryse, Ronald Haas, Claude Haselton, Bob Kepner, Phil May, and John Roe all played good basketball. Jack Vierke acted as manager for both teamsg Lewis Boelkes was track manager. Thor Moluf was a go-getter in the Tarler Staff magazine drive and out-ranked by far all the other salesmen in the student body. Gut of the junior class Mary Jean Koritz, Ruth Nesheirn, Harry Troop, and Virginia Yetter were elected to the National Honor Society. A What kind of a prom to have was our chief worry this spring. We Hnally decided upon a Star Dust theme and put on a successful prom. Of course, we worked hard, but that's the fun of being a junior. Twenty-four
