Finally, the Dance of dances!—the Junior-Senior Prom. What a night! We dance in Roman Ruins—in the granduer that was Rome. Magnificent! It is truely a Roman Holiday. Slowly but surely our trip is becoming shorter —the Seniors haven't long now... The last assembly of the year. The Awards Assembly. We are glad for our accomplishments. We are happy for the success of others. The last assembly! Not long now. Seniors—not long. Baccalaureate. And a promise of a life not easy, nor simple, but full of toil and conflict. March proudly Seniors—only one more step... Commencement. The end of the year; the end of our journey. John Henry Smith. Mr. Smith receives his diploma. There is a flash of tiny lights. A chord is sounded. The crowd rises. March proudly Seniors, march prbudly. One hundred eighty days. It is a short time, really.

As a brief pause from athletics, the Junior Class opens the dramatic phase of our high school life by presenting the comedy, Annie Get'Your Gun. We all have laughs, laughs galore—it is a huge success. As Fall begins to wane, the Sophomore and Freshman classes sponsor a dance for the entire high school —the Fall Formal. A fine dance—it is highly appreciated! With the coming of the snows, our Outlaw cagers begin burning up the courts. Much work— much joy—and a good season. Suddenly, the Band and Chorus, in a romantic mood, get the travel fever—the lure for foreign lands. The present a Musical Travelogue with exciting music from far-away-places. This event marks the first All School Convocation to be presented in RHS. Then, as Winter sets upon us in all its fury, we begin to look toward Christmas and the spirit of giving. The Band and Chorus present their annual holiday concerts to put us in the Yule-Tide Spirit. Then for two glorious weeks—vacation; and the end of the semester. To soothe us after the Return, the Pep Club gives the Winter Formal-our Winter Wonderland. 90 days gone—90 to go. Then like a glorious revelation, the long winter draws to a close and spring, in all its glory, is ushered in. At least it seems like spring —or so the Track men seem to think. The year is coming to a conclusion, and many a Senior begins to count the days until graduation—count the days with mixed feelings of joy and sadness. A District Championship for Track and Third Place in State. Our Band and Chorus holds a banquet and a dance—much eating— but more dancing. From music to dramatics—and State Speech Festival—where our Thespians do an outstanding job! Then a bold stroke—the distinguishing mark of a mature Senior Class-—its presentation of Thorton Wilder's play, Our Town. It is different and it is good. 6
