CLASS HISTORY On a bright and sunny day in September, 1938, the Senior Class of 1950 entered Kindergarten. 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.
