R. H. S. HONOR ROLL The Ranchester High School regrets that the Ranchester Alumni have not been able to keep up the fine organization they had a few years ago. For the many graduates who never continue into a university, Ranchester High School is the only Alma Mater they know. Even for those who do go on to college, we feel that the happy days of High School cannot be replaced or surpassed. It is, therefore, the duty of the school to keep in helpful contact with the graduates. The present school is proud of the names that yearly swell the alumni list. It is with pride that we remind you again of the most outstanding graduates of R. H. S. since the first class of 1926, and it is with special pride that we add to this Honor Roll the names of two outstanding students of the Class of 1948—Julia Ann Ly- man and Raymond Johnston.

Congratulations from the School Board The Trustees of School District No. 33 extend congratulations to the graduating class of Ranchester High School, and best wishes to the undergraduate students. Our purpose is to provide the best school we can for you, and our wish is that every student will make the most of it. We hope you learn a great deal, and have a good time, too. Fred Lowell Lois Johnson Lee Davis The Heart and Soul of a Schoolhouse Our schoolhouse was built in the 1920’s. Since that time it has developed a heart and a soul which are made up of the people who have gone to school here. If it could talk, how much it could tell! This schoolhouse has seen the shining eyes of an eager young face, as a child starts in the first grade on the paths of education. Within this schoolhouse such traits as honesty, fair play, good sportsmanship and how to get along with people are devel- oped. These traits lay the foundation of our lives after we leave school. Our schoolhouse has seen the eighth grader graduate—one of our first goals in life. It is an onlooker to the shy, hesitant freshman entering high school for the first day. All the time, it is watching these children’s characters form and watching them overcome disappointments and hardships. Last, and the most glorious moment of all, is when it sees the proud flash in a senior’s eye as he reaches the goal he has been waiting, fighting, and working for for the past twelve years. The schoolhouse alone has seen the struggles, faults, and assets of these people. The soul of a schoolhouse is keeping these memories of the children who pass in and out of its doors each day, —Julia Mae Cable. I think the people of Ranchester have something to be proud of when their taxes go to support such a fine school as this town has. It has an excellent faculty—by this I mean they are helpful and understanding. They find time to help any pupil, not only in school, but in all community affairs. The school itself plays an important role in this small town, for it brings all the people together. The pupils of Ranchester are unusually loyal to the school. They take great interest in all sports and activities. Volunteers are never lacking when there is a job to do. With such a fine spirit, I know this school will continue to be important in the years to come. —DeLoris Edmonds, 10th grade. I like school because you can learn to serve your country. Without an education you would be helpless in the world trying to get a job. I am glad I have a free school to go to and that it is not like it is in most foreign countries where it would be impossible to get an education. When lessons seem hard I try to think how easy it is to become acquainted with all the other fellows and the teachers and what good times we have in sports and the other activities. —Eugene Fackenthall, 9th grade. So much is furnished us freely that we should never complain. Much time is spent in preparing teachers to teach us and we should really appreciate them more. American children should be grateful for the opportunities and the people should realize how much our schools are doing to prepare for America’s future.—Lorna King, 9th grade. 3
