Carla and Shirley the best of pals. Are called the straight one twins. While Barb and Kay (the volleyball kids), concentrate on straight wins. There’s Melvin Scott, who walks so far, and Kay Van Natta too. Teamed up with Ray and Erik J. They needle quite a few. Leona, Pat, and Mona too. Have all received their ring. And Doreen B. will join the rank, And marry in the spring. There’s lota of all-star athlete boys, Who graduate this year. Jimmy, Gene, Joedy, and John, All have none to fear. Claudette and June are yell queens fair, They cheer at all the games. Mary Ann Haberle, Ruth and Yvonne, are more of the senior names. Jack is Student body head, Ronnie works all day. Joe’s the president of our class, And Bev. C. is okay. Beverly N. and Lois H. Are typers it is true. Trudy, Pat, and Dora M. Don’t like to go to school. Lester, Bill, Hestel, and Billy “Delena Boys” they’re named. The office fascinates all four. But they cannot be blamed. Marie and Barb are office girls, As is Lajuana Pike. Add Lillibell and Fran to those above, Only comment here is “Yike.” Dave and Dean and Robert Girt, All go to English IV. Virginia goes to Social Ec. Who could ask for more? Mary Lou is a married gal now, who goes to school each day. Frank and Mick are late to class, Erwin likes to play. Eugene and Don are greatest friends, George G. came back to school, LaVerne McKee is married now, and Joan’s nobody’s fool. Clayton, Bill, and Ramon D. All live back in Goble. (Goble’s represented well) John’s our editor noble. Ross, our Journalism guy, just writes and writes like mad: Dale Johnson never smiles a bit, He must be always sad. Walter is our ‘‘speaker man.” you ought to hear him speak. Crystal is our studious one. She studies trig all weekl Thus ends the tale of the R.H.S. mighty Senior class. They’re not even sure they’ll like next year, because ‘‘They might not even pass.” by Frances Furer President, Joe Samples Footloose” mgr. 3; Class Pres. 4; Intra Sports 1,2,3,4; Knights 4; Prom Court 3; Basketball 2,3; Football 1,2, 3,4; Baseball 1,2,3,4; Letter- man 2,3,4; All League Foot- ball 4.

FRED WILSON, serving his second year as head basketball coach at Rainier, again lacked the necessary amount of height to end upon top of the League. Although the teams League win, loss record wasn’t too good, the games lost were only decided in the fading minutes of the games. A graduate of Lewis and Clark College, Wilson is still an outstanding basketball player him- self, and maintained plenty of team spirit throughout the season. He was also head track and assistant football coach. GERALD LONG, in his first year of coaching at Rainier, just missed leading the Colombians to their second straight League football cham- pionship, when St. Helens edged Rainier out for their only gridiron defeat.

COLUMBIANS MISS CHAMPIONSHIP Only by the margin of five extra points did the Rainier Columbians miss an undefeated season, but wound up with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. Eight returning regulars were the nucleus to a ball team which wound up second in Lower Columbia League competition. The first of these extra point defeats came at the hands of Hood River 7 to 6 in the season opener. Tackle Joe Samples played an outstanding game for Rainier. Two one touchdown decisions over League opponents followed this game, 13-7 over Seaside and the same score against Clatskanie. The League’s deadliest passing combination of Jim John- son to Frank Counts blossomed out in these early victories. The Columbians took a 14-12 loss from Camas, Washington, and then followed with 31-19 and 32-13 League victories over Warrenton and Scappoose. End Frank Counts scored three touchdowns in the latter game and John Mustola, a defensive halfback, helped spark the victory. Rainier’s try for a second straight League championship was thwarted by St. Helens the next week in the seasons most dramatic game. 190 pound halfback. Gene Flippin, tore the Lion line apart, but the St. Helens passing attack came through for a touchdown with a minute remaining in the game to take a 14-12 win. The Lions went on to show their worth by placing second in the state class A-2 tournament. At season’s end Jim Johnson was named receiver of the Austin Russell memorial trophy as the most valuable player and Gene Flippin was picked to play in the annual Shriner’s AH Star Football game, played next August. Those two, in addition to end Frank Counts and guard Ross Corbett, were picked on the Lower Columbia League All Star team. Tackle Joe Samples and line backer Loyed Rea received a similar honor on the defensive first team. John Womack was placed on the second team as a back, while Mickey Rea and Joedy Oliva were given honorable mention. All the above except Loyed Rea are seniors, as are: end Jack Rauch, tackle George Hickle, guard Bill Weller, center Walter Winchell, and halfback John Mustola.
