I have received a deep satisfaction and enjoyment in seeing you grow physically, mentally, and culturally. We share with you your mixed emotions. Happy that you are graduating and life ' s beautiful adventure lies before you. Sad that you are leaving something beautiful behind. May the best come your way and may the blessings of peace, prosperity and happiness be yours, are the best wishes of your friend and Superintendent. L. C. Skelton It is with a feeling of great satisfaction that I reflect my thoughts to the past two years. Certainly the many successes and plaudits you have received as representatives of the R-Hl school district reflect the type of class that you have been. You have every right to a sincere personal pride in your school record and its related accomplishments. Whatever the future holds in store for the graduating class of 1960, I sincerely believe you will be able to meet its challenge. Good luck in the future and may God be with you always. A. E.

=. . i«.» Will We, the Senior Class ofl959-60, after twelve and in some cases thirteen or fourteen years of doubtful- ness, wish to leave a few belongings to our followers to help them through ±eir following year, but we must add; do not follow our example too thoroughly or you may run into difficulties and another senior year. Our will goes as follows: Judy Carter and Chuck Black leave their Home- coming crowns to anyone who deserves them. Bob Clifton leaves for the Navy. Lookout, Waves! David Gust wills his tremendous physique to Richard Boydston, Mike Knepper, and Alfred Springs, and his speaking ability to Jerry Shouse. Sue Parman leaves her collection of freckles to Eddie Underwood to add to his present assortment. Bob Amos leaves his ability to attract women to Jerry Christofi, Warren Pemberton, and Marlon Mason, Good luck, Romeos. Pat Agee and Shirley Meyer leave the responsi- bility for the 1961 PIRATE ER and all the work in- volved along with their other activities, to any junior, with the hope that they can use them all. Jerry Searcy wills his acting ability to Harley Jones. Bert Cornish sadly leaves Vickie Skinner. Donald Wade bestows upon Bill Nash and Arden Witt his ability to always be seen, but never heard. We hope they put this one to good use! Eloise Rose leaves her position on the High Honor Roll to Sara Skelton, We hope Sara likes it way up there. Jack Naylor leaves his flirting ways to Rose Lewis and Aletha Kay Buckler to add to what they already have. Billye Lou Tatman leaves her twirling ability to Sandra Shaw. Jerry Roller leaves his dancing ability to Steve Farmer. Maybe this will help Steve win more dancing contests. Bob Bryan leaves his dimples to Ruth McCaleb and Ron Slover. Carol Boydston and Stanley George leave their height to Roberta Edlin and Arvid Johnson and hope that they can make use of it on the basketball court. Shirley Hunt leaves her ability to get a diamond ring to Jo Karen Nash and Roberta Kalousek. Good luck, girls! To Ronnie Wade and Judy Porter, Mary Jane Brown and Floyd Miller leave their quiet and polite ways in the hope that tliey will turn over a new leaf. Gary Weaver prefers to keep what he has and leave nothing to anyone. Donald Walker leaves space in the band room for a new instrument. Barbara Zeigler and Carolyn Sloan leave their long hair to Carol Lee Palmer to practice pinning up every night. Phil Jones leaves his position as halfback to Bill Wallingford and David Reineke and his track record for Jim Hon to conquer. Jerry Bond leaves his blushes to Wilson Tatman and John Boydston. Dona Sharpe leaves her SOFT voice and her SOFT laugh to Cheryl Lechtenberger and Linda Everett. Grade Green leaves her cheery disposition to Pat Whltton and Beth Ham. Andy Jones leaves allhls managing duties to Mary Etta Meyer. She always did like to help Andy with his work. Barbara Pirch leaves her winning streak in de- bate to Donnie Wade and Lois Pearson. John Brubeck wills his seat in Bookkeeping class to whomever wants It- -poor soul. The Seniors leave these things in the sincere hope that the Junior Class will make use of them all and with a final request that we may be allowed to make frequent visits to see that they are being used to the best advantage.
