The school year consists of 180 days of instruction and with a humble pardon to Mr. Jules Verne, we would like to take you on a trip to help relive everyone of these days. With the coming of Fall, our football team can be seen at Outlaw Bowl, busily preparing for the first game of the season. The Cheerleaders are brushing up on a few cheers and the Pep Club members are making little flags to wave at the games. After the first week or so, everyone begins to get into the swing of things, following the long vacation, and by the time the first game is played, everybody has the traditional Rawlins spirit of Victory. Adding to the excitement of the game, our marching band presents a fine halftime show, and continues to do so throughout the season. A few weeks later, they make us especially proud by displaying their marching skill at Band Day in Laramie. Then comes Homecoming, and our lovely Queen rules over the Royal Ball in all her glory. As a conclusion to our Football Season, our team wins the District Championship. A fitting climax for a grand teaml

 in 180 Days . . . DROP THE SANDBAGS AND WE'RE OFF! We're not always in the habit of traveling in balloons, but it is a good way to show you around our school. That is the purpose of this Yearbook, you know; to show you around RHS and greet ail the students and teachers. Almost every student has a special talent or interest which he employs in some club or organization, and many of the teachers give of their time to sponsor these groups. We of the Annual Staff enjoy visiting each club, and by writing about their activities, we hope to interest other students in their programs. We all aren't all athletes, we all aren't speakers, we aren't all scholars, but every student, every club, every teacher and administrator pictured in this book has contributed, in his own way, to the glory of RHS. We have a lot of ground to cover in the next few pages, so lets hop aboard, and go Around the School in 180 Days. One Hundred Eighty Daysl Multiplied by four, that span of time seems like an eternity to the Freshman, but to the Senior, it isn't any time at all... Around the School 4

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
