Donald Hart Robert Van Duesen I 'ice-President President Wlien we started High School we began as Freshmen—well, of course! Anyway, we started and it was something that we had looked forward to for many years. First, we elected Raymond Tick-ncr as our leader and 1 might say that lie led us extremely well. That was in 1942. You know, that was such a long time ago that 1 can’t remember what we did. Oh, yes, “Outie the Outlaw,” re minds me that we gave the Freshman Return thanking the Sophomores for their welcome to us. After other various events, the year ended successfully. In the fall of 194J our class automatically became Sophomores. Catherine Ingram was elected president this time. Oh, “Outie,” don’t you think I’d better indention that ours was one of the smallest classes in the school’s history? And the following year it was even smaller. Anyway, this year we gained an extremely large amount of knowledge. At least, we thought we did. Well, at any rate, we weren’t dumb. That is, we couldn’t be dumb because dumb means the inability to talk and we certainly could talk enough. This year we welcomed the Freshmen by presenting the annual Freshman Reception and the year ended successfully. On September 5, 1944, we came to school as we had been doing for two years, but it was different this time. We had become Juniors. What a pleasant surprise! “Outie” took me aside one day and stated that many special occurrences were scheduled for us during this important year. First, however, I woidd like to say that even though our class was small it certainly has been well represented in various organizations. For instance, our basketball teann had four Juniors on the first five and the boys did a remarkable job of playing. Football was also well represented. Our play, “Moonlight for Herbert,” was another big event. The strange part of it, though, is this: Being a comedy it was not supposed to be a detective or involved mystery, but we sure did murder it. But all kidding aside, it was a swell play. On May 16th we were greatly honored to give the Prom and Banquet for the Seniors. And now we are looking forward to our last, but most important, year in Rawlins High School. —Bob Van Duesen Editor’s Note: He forgot to mention a slight detail. The author of the above was elected Junior class president.
