CLASS MOTTO: Seize the Opportunity CLASS FLOWER: White Rose CLASS COLORS: Rose and White Senior Class Officers were: Ray VanWinkle, President; Dave Ummel, Vice-President; and Willard Hor- chem, Secretary-Treasurer. Sponsors were Mr. Andree and Miss Scott. A pep band was organized that year with seven instruments comprising the band. Senior class rings arrived in No- vember. Several of the rings were set with a Sardonyz setting with the em- blem mounted on it. Most of the rings had a ruby for the setting. The following are clips taken from the Ransom Record and the Dighton Herald; The Ransom Rural High School, in a Ness County town of less than 500 population, has two bands and an orchestra. There is an advanced band of 24 pieces, a beginners band of 26 pieces and an orchestra with 25 pieces. The advanced band and orchestra competed in the Dodge City and Hays contests, and have won honors in each event. Special Individual work is giv- en in violin, piano, all wind instru- ments and voice. I believe there is nothing can build up a community spirit and keep it alive better than mu- sic organizations, said Paul H. An- dree, Principal of the High School. The Dighton Herald, in surprise remarks: The High School Orchestra won first place at the music festival at Hays last week and the band took sec- ond place in D class. This is going some for a school of the size of Ran- som in State competition. Ah, shaw, Herald, Ransom was just going at half speed when she got that bunch of trinkets..... One of the best home talent shows that has been staged in Dighton in years was presented by the dramatics club of the Ransom High School. The play was clever and was well present- ed. The class showed some remark- able coaching. A good crowd enjoyed the entire play from the begining to the final. (Commrurrmnit Thursday. bil5 P. M.
