Out Sophomore year dawned forth, we now moved to the assembly and fought on and contfmied to gain victories for ourselves at R.H.S. Remember the sublime condescension with which we showed the Freshies the rope? Also how the Juniors lorded over us. This year, Wilma Bonlfacius moved from Eubank, Kentucky and rejoined our class. Shirley Oakes from Bainbridge and Bruce Bartlett from Indianapolis also joined our class. 'nrree of our class- mates made the Varsity team--Bob Allen, Bob Thompson and Frank Plunkett. Again welost some of our members--Lola Webb, Evelyn Witt, Marguerite Page, and Sue Thompson. , Suddenly we realize we are Iunlors. In this third year, new fields are opened and there are now only twenty-eight of us to assume leadership. Class rings, Junior Play, llagazlne Sales, etc. Toward the end of the year, there were the delightful secret of Junior and Senior Reception--holding the Seniors in suspense and for the first time Commencement held a significant meaning to most of us. That year Dianne Henley and Betty McCloud left us. I Summer vacation, then Senior dignity! This year was pretty smooth QU sailing-- lt's in the bag . For once we had no additions nor subtractions-- just a few cumpllcatlons. Softball games, Assembly Program, basketball games, deep-snow and ice, no school, square dances, skatlng party, a touch of Senior- iteous, Semi-formal Dance, tourneys, Senior credits, Anmxal, Senior play, .Tun- lor and Senior Reception--Graduation exercises and Senior happiness. Thus on the 22nd day of April, 20 of us pass into the waiting arms of the future. The past is gone--often to be recalled but never to be remade. Wilma Bonlfacius Prophecy A 'fGrow old along with meg the best ls yet to be: the last of life, for which the first was made... Browning had the right ideas there.
