The class raised a record amount of money through the traditional magazine sale in the fall to sponsor the BEST Junior Senior Banquet and Prom ever! The theme of the prom was “Colour My World.” Class rings were a big landmark for us that year.” “Slowly, but surely, it came to be our turn to be SENIORS! At last, it was OUR YEAR! It was a terriffic moment when we first came to school in August of 1978 as members of the Graduating Class (HOPEFULLY) of 1979. With being a senior came decisions. Class meetings were held early in the year to discuss ways to raise money for the traditional Senior Trip. The most successful projects turned out to be a car wash, the concession stands and the fruit sales. While money was coming in to the class treasury, our personal funds were rapidly diminished through the purchase of senior announcements, pictures, albums and outlay for the Senior Trip and our caps and gowns. We thought it would never end.” “Seniors were participators as we led the school in team sports, activities and classes. LEFT: Senior Scholars represented R-V in a Campus Bowl Tournament in Memphis; Kathy Keithly, Vanitta Waterman, Jeff Legg, Diana Ayers, Leigh Ann Bishoff and D. J. Smith.

“It has been a long twelve years, filled with many fond memories! As seniors we look hack on the years that have past and reminisce. We remember the primary grades with Chinese jump ropes, clackers, chasing each other at recess, and having room mothers that planned super parties. We remember being excited about going into the Fifth Grade and changing classes every hour ... we felt just like we were almost in High School!” “Junior High was a big change. The teachers expected more of us as we began preparation and study to pass the test over the Constitution. We remember having class meetings for the very first time, going on a field trip to Hannibal to see Mark Twain’s “Stomping Ground.” Seventh grade also was the first time that the students from Canton and Williamstown were in classes together.” More changes came with our early high school years. The new gym and classroom complex were completed to start us off on the right foot for an exciting four years of being in Senior High. The Freshman year accustomed each of us to high school life and we got to know the upper-classmen better. During the Sophomore year we received our class pins and most of us went through the trauma of taking our DRIVER’S TEST! Highlight of our Sophomore year was the out-standing performance of the Varsity Girls Team as they nearly captured the Class 2A State Championship. School spirit was at a fever pitch as we followed the team across the state to cheer them on.”
