With New Driver's Training Car Margaret Pfoff, Barbara Helms, Faith Sage, Darlene Gruben, and Joan Harrison took active parts in music and appeared in trios and quartets. For the first time in the history of R.T.H.S. the sophomores were given a driver's training course. A new Chevrolet was lent to them by Mr. Elliott. Mr. Ellis and Miss Johnson, the instructors of this course, aided them greatly in gaining their drivers' licenses. Denney McCarthy, Victor Smith, Warren Wehner, Justin Henry, Bill Ebbinghaus, Bob Grodeland, XVavne Wood, Bill Worthington, Darrell Beach, Paul Holder- ness, and Paul Caron all held important positions on the junior varsity squad and proved that the sopho- mores have their share of football stars. Basketball sea- son also brought out many players. Myrna Anglemier and Barbara Olson led us as We cheered them on. Denney McCarthy, Victor Smith, Bill Purvis, Justin Henry, Bob Grodeland, and Warren Wehner were mem- bers of the basketball squad.

After successfully enduring the hardships of geome- try, biology, and algebra, the weary sophomores look back on a very eventful year. Starting off with a Bang , they welcomed the Freshies,' at an informal party. In school colors the decorations, pennants, footballs, and tackling dummies, helped carry through the theme Kick-Offu. The eve- ning was spent playing games and dancing. For enter- tainment, Joan Harrison played a piano solo, and Faith Sage gave a reading, 'KAt The Soda Fountain.
