L ll SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Seniors of 1958, began the next step up the ladder in H. R. H. S. in the fall of 1954 with Miss Leta Swisher as our guide and forty- six members in our troup. We elected Virgil Wood for our President, Orvetta Short, Vice Presidentg Jack Foster, Secretary and Treasurer. Our first year was spent in getting acquainted with our fellow class- mates and the upper classmen and in getting adjusted to our new surroundings When we assembled again in September, 1955, as Sophomores, we found several faces missing but those of La Verna Myers, Allan Mathews, and Elver Stauffer added. For class officers we chose Mickey Reser for Presi- dentg LeRoy Covert, Vice President, and Bill Gabbert, Secretary and Trea- surer. That year we stepped out to assert our rights and perform our duties with a will. The next year when we gathered again for our Junior year we found a greater loss, some of which were: Charlotte Caley, Ernest Foster, Margaret French, Mickey Reser and last but not least--Miss Swisher. We soon dis- covered an excellent successor in Mr. Custer, and found Joy Tarrant and Geraldine Rush as additional members of our class. We saw that Everett Cannon could successfully perform the duties of president so we proceeded to elect him to that office, with Harold Cartwright as Vice President and Mary Elizabeth Murrell as Secretary and Treasurer, who was succeeded by Vola Pearl Wallace when Mary Elizabeth and Bill Gabbert moved from this district. The success of the play entitled nThe Cat O'N1ne Tailsn under the direction of Mr. Custer and the efforts of the cast which consisted of: Allan Mathews, Richard Behmer, Orvetta Short, Phyllis Long, La Verna Myers, Everett Cannon, Keith Bonezkowski, Etta Brothers, Vcla Pearl Wallace, Mary Elizabeth Murrell and Frank Keatingg enabled us to give a rather nice Junior-Senior Banquet. This year as we came back to be called the dignified senios of good old Hamilton High School, we found a loss of two or three, Peggy Carey, IvalQ6?Johnson5:and poelia Ramsey, who is with us again, and a gain of six, namely, Melba McGhee, Berniece Gott, Claude Shaffer, and three for- mer members--Charlotte Caley, Earnest Foster, and Margaret French. We re-elected Everett, president, chose Virginia Clopton for Vice President and divided the office of Secretary-Treasurer between Margaret Wright and Della Christlieb, respectively. During the basketball season six members of our class were chosen as Mr. and Miss Hamilton. We can also boast of having the King and Queen Hamilton taken from our group. We are represented in Band by five members and nine members of the Orchestra are seniors. The entire cast of the One Act Play and the two extemporaneous speakers entered in the County Contest consisted of Seniors. The play which has been chosen this year is nMistakes At the Blakes.H The cast includes: Richard Merrick, Orvetta Short, Berniece Gott, Richard Behmer, Everett Cannon, Doella Ramsey, Virginia Clopton, Harold Cartwright, Etta Brothers, Phyllis Long, Keith Bonczkowski, Howard Black and Margaret Wr ght. --Margaret Wright Motto: nClimb though the paths be rugged.n Flower: Yellow Rose Colors: Lavender and Gold B -un J Page 5 4
