Pretty Char Jones was given the honor of being chosen Annual Queen following the climax of the Well-Wishfcrs Drive. The Senior class having won the contest, selected Char for this honor. Char, who is 18, is engaged to an RUHS graduate and plans to be married in June. Char has served our school in many ways, her biggest job being that of A.S.B. Treasurer. She is very popular with her fellow students and is a credit to our school. Dear Seniors: With your splendid help, we have had a happy and worth-while school year. We shall miss you as you go on to a larger and fuller life. Your influence upon Ramona High School will last for many years. It is our fervent hope that the teachers, principal, and other students have also helped you during your four years with us. I wish for you many years of successful and happy living. ROBERT L.

Of that small group only six remain in the class: Eleanor Morse, Quimby Simmons, Hilda Baker, Evona Zentz, Bob Williams and Frannie Elliott. By the time we trudged through those first eight years, we had grown to be a rather large group. The seniors who graduated from Ramona Elementary School are: Bob Williams, Eleanor Morse, Quimby Simmons, Hilda Baker, Evona Zentz, Frannie Elliott, Bill Ransom, Char Jones, Glenn Light, Carole Lynn Zurbuchen, Erwin Bern- hard, Will Isbell, Arlene Beebe, Bud King, Louis Bowen, John Ferguson. Then the great day came when we entered the doors of dear old R.U.H.S. Those who came to join our class that year were Harvard Giddings, Kim Belyea, Don Miller and Rudi Stockalper. After we had recuperated from our initiation, we settled down to four years of hard work and lots of fun. The Freshman Barn Dance of 1947 is an accom- plishment that we are still boasting about. In the Sophomore year we were on the other end of the initiation. Those who joined our class this year were Bonnie Kerr and Kay Bernald. New additions to the class in our Junior year were Marilyn Soper and Wanda Wayte. The Junior year was a busy one for us. During the first part of the year we received our beautiful class ring. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, both of which were huge successes and lots of fun. Then came our Senior year! W. C. Van Houten, Cecil Shuey, Frank Curtis and Ray Weatherford joined us at this point in our career. The events that stand out most in our minds are Ditch Day (Oh M—!), choosing our class sweaters and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. To all our teachers who have guided us through these last four years, we wish to express our deep gratitude and appreciation. CLASS PROPHECY Thu is Erwin Bernhard with another 'Tell the Truth or Pay a Forfeit' show. This evening, we have a very unusual and interesting forfeit for our first fortunate contestant, who.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a dreary September day in 1947 one of the most historic events in the history of the RUHS was takins place, the present Junior class was about to inhabit the halls of the RUHS for the first time. Of course one must understand, we weren't just an ordinary class; we had all the earmarks for an outstanding class. Anyway, here we are— juniors. We have accomplished so much during our three years in high school that I am sure the grateful faculty cannot bear to see us leave next year. Our accomplishments might be indicated by the fact that we have $10 in the treasury. Incidentally, the Junior class has accomplished so much that I doubt if everything could be put on paper, so I find this a good place to close. SOPHOMORE CLASS First row: Miss Anderson. E.

The first thing we did as recognized human beings, was. to elect officers for the year. Dick Dougherty served us as president. Bob Bevins, vice-president; Lo Wayne Kay, secretary; Ernestine Stockalper, treasurer. Miss Anderson was our advisor this year, and we wish to thank her for her splendid help in getting us over the rough spots. We have had a lot of fun in spite of a few headaches and are anxiously awaiting next year when we shall become in fact—UPPER- CLASSMEN. FRESHMEN CLASS First row, left to right: T. Stammen, J.

The Board has served its purpose well and are to be congratulated on their service to our school. GIRLS' LEAGUE Left to right: P. Henson, Vice-Pres dent: K. Belyea, Secretary: S. Wayte, Treasurer; C.

Starting with the very capable leadership of charming Carole Lynn Zurbuchen and coupled with Mrs. Shaw’s help- ing hand, this organization just couldn't help but enjoy a fine year. Girls' League meetings placed accent upon brief announcements and pointed reminders. Highlight of the year was the Mothers’ Tea at which mothers of all High School students were honored. G. A. C.

Officers for the year were: Bud King, president; Tom Bennett, vice- president; George Fuller, secretary; Cesario Martinez, treasurer; Bill Anderson, reporter, and Bob Bivens, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Gelwick was their very capable advisor. This year saw Majorettes and Drill Team for the second time in R.U.H.S. History. Frannie, Mary, Lee and Marilyn led the Drill Team through many intricate formations during football season. The Majorettes also acted as Song Leaders for the basketball season. MAJORETTES Essential to any game is a good rooting section . . . and there were always big turnouts for our games ... at home or away. Pat, Anita, Audrey, Janet and Kim led the enthusiastic rooters at every game. At times the crowd got so excited they led the cheer leaders. CHEER LEADERS VARSITY FOOTBALL First row, left to right: D.

SEPTEMBER 23—GROSSMONT J.V. 13, RAMONA 7 With the temperature well over the 100-degree mark the Bulldogs went to battle with Grossmont High J.V. four deep in reserves and came out second best on the short end of a 13-7 count. Ramona scored on a pass play from Bevins to Simmons. SEPTEMBER 30—RAMONA 54, MT. EMPIRE 7 The Ramona Bulldogs traveled to Mt. Empire's gridiron where they pro- ceeded to take matters in their own hand to trounce a stunned Empire eleven, 54-7. Bob Bevii.s scored twice on interceptions of 40 and 55 yards and a quar- terback sneak. Jim McDonald scored on a 5-yard line plunge. Bob Williams went 50 yards off tackle for six points. Quimby Simmons scored twice on end runs of 35 and 40 yards, and once through the line. Simmons kicked six out of eight conversions for a total of 54 points for the game. OCTOBER 7—RAMONA 20, ESCONDIDO J.V. 0 Combining a highly deceptive number lateral and pass plays with the line plunging of Bob Williams and the broken field running of Jim McDonald, the Bulldogs dumped the Cougar J.V., 20-0, before I 300 people. Bob Bivens scored twice and Bob Williams once. OCTOBER 14—ARMY-NAVY 13, RAMONA 0 Ramona High was rudely upset on their home field by a lucky academy eleven that capitalized on breaks. The Bulldogs fumbled eight times, losing possession six times, at crucial points in the game. OCTOBER 21—VISTA 19, RAMONA 6 Ramona High played its heart out in vain to come out on the short end of a 19-6 count. Ramona played a brilliant first half, 7-6 ball game. Bob Wil- liams crossed the chalk from 6 yards out, being set up by a nice pass play by Dwight Miller. The Bulldog line gave one of its best performances against Vista. OCTOBER 28—SAN DIEGUITO 56, RAMONA 0 The Bulldogs met their master but not as much as the score indicates. The Mustangs had a well-rounded, highly talented two-platoon squad. The team played its tops, but San Dieguito was unstappable with our squad. • NOVEMBER 4—RAMONA 27, BROWN 6 Bouncing back after their previous defeat the Bulldogs swarmed over Brown Military Academy, 27-6. Scoring honors went to Bob Williams on a 33-yard off- tackle play, Quimby Simmons on a splitback, good for 42 yards; Jim McDonald, 12 yards over tackle, and John Ferguson's once-in-a-lifetime lineman's dream of gathering in a punt blocked by Herman Trumper and going 25 yards for the touchdown. NOVEMBER II— FALLBROOK 26, RAMONA 6 The Fallbrook warrior grounded out a 26-0 victory over a fighting Ramona eleven. Bob Williams, out with a leg injury, greatly subdued the Bulldog's run- ning game. Bill Ransom's lone score came on a 60-yard pass play. Quimby Simmons tossed a perfect pass in Bill Ransom's waiting arms from where he cov- ered the remaining 40 yards untouched. J. V.

The Bulldogs, rated as power this year, and were among the three top teams in the League. The Varsity came up with ten wins and four losses to come out in third place for the season. They took the Consolation Trophy at San Dieguito, defeating Vista 54 to 40. Bill Ransom, Varsity Captain, received the coveted Rogues Trophy; he also won the Sportsmanship Trophy at the San Dieguito Tournament.
