ADVERTISING 86-95 DEDICATION It is with great pleasure and gratitude that we, the Senior Class of 1959, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Joe Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz has been a familiar figure in Rawlins High School for many years and has been known, not only as a firie teacher, but also a successful coach, and even more, a friend of nearly all the students. Mr. Schwartz's work in extra-curricular activities, such as class sponsor and football announcer, has been an example of his never failing school spirit. R.H.S. is proud that Mr. Schwartz's career as an educator will continue in the capacity of Carbon County Superintendent of Schools. Our best wishes to Mr. Schwartz for his future success. IN MEMORIAM Lee Edwin Ekdahl, a graduate of Rawlins High School, Class of 1958, was well-liked by and a familiar figure to students and faculty of R.H.S. Lee was particularly active in dramatics in high school. He was a member of the Thespians and had parts in both the Junior and Senior Class plays. He was also on the 1958 Roundup staff. His wonderful personality endeared him to all that met him. He is greatly missed by everyone in Rawlins, especially the students of Rawlins High School. THIS IS OUR SCHOOL BOARD The School Board is the true governing body of the Rawlins Schools. They approve the annual budget and make available the necessary funds to finance the mr. ROBERT McCORD MRS. P.E. DALEY President operation of the schools. They also pass upon the recommendations of the superintendent in matters of policy, appointment, suspension or dismissal of employees, salary schedules, personnel regulations, curriculum, and other matters pertaining to the welfare of the schools. We wish to commend the School Board for the wonderful job they have done for us this year. MR. LESTER SEAVERSON MR. JOHN ENGSTROM MR. K. B. LUNNEY Superintendent of Schools MR. ROLAND ROTHENBERGER Principal of the High School OUR SCHOOL IS IN GOOD HANDS This is our school administration. They are in charge of everything from our teaching staff to textbooks and programs to pencil sharpeners. Mr. Lunney is the Superintendent of Schools. He is the man who takes charge of all the schools in Rawlins and governs their schedules, plans, equipment and physical plants. He is the one who has to worry whether the buses will run on time, if the grass at the football field will grow or if Rawlins will have enough teachers for the next year. Mr. Rothenberger is the high school Principal and is responsible for all actives in our high school. He has to see that everything in the high school runs smoothly and that the students get the education that they have come to school to acquire. Sometimes this is quite difficult. Our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful job they have done for us this year. COMMERCE DEPARTMENT Miss Joann McConnell, Mr. Myron Masson.

FALL The hot summer days soon change to cool September winds and the shade from the trees fades as one by one the multicolored leaves tumble to the ground. The day is September 3, 1958 and registration is underway. School spirit and the famous R.H.S. pep is restored as we thunder into our first game against Rock Springs, two days later. School and homework went as usual until October I , when the renegade in us was brought out for Outlaw Day. Flash funs and sporty vests with ten gallon hats and cowboy boots tramped our halls and collected in classrooms. Gloria Peterson who was chosen Outlaw Day Queen reigned throughout the day and rode in the traditional convertible in the parade. The Seniors ranked highest in the float contest, with Sophomores second, Frosh third and Juniors fourth. Next came the Junior Play — Home Sweet Homicide, a murder mystery in which suspense played a major role. November 14, was the date of the Fall Formal, put on by the Freshmen and Sophomores. The theme was the beautiful Bali H'ai with palm trees adding to the enchanting atmosphere. To wind up the Fall activities came the Turkey Trot on November 26. Turkeys horns of plenty, and cornstalks decorated the walls. So the season of Autumn came to a fitting and beautiful close. 12 STUDENT Student Council is the governing body of R.H.S. Its officers are: President, Sharon O'Melia; Vice-President, Carole Jo Helwig; and Secretary, Kathleen Laney. The President and Vice-President are elected by the student body, and the Secretary is elected by the Council. Mr. Donald Blakeslee is the sponsor. The various standing committees of the council are: Steering Committee, Concessions Committee, Dance Committee, Public Relations Committee, Assembly Committee, and the Calendar Committee. These are in charge of such school activities as the scheduling of activities for each month, for all organizations and clubs, the policies concerning Outlaw Day, the rules and standards for dances—both formal and after-game, the concessions for football and basketball games, the numerous assemblies which have to be planned and presented, and other special events of school life. These duties, along with many other responsibilities, keep the council members busy all-year-round. The foremost project this year was the planning of an orientation program to be given in the fall of '59 in the new high school, north of Rawlins. Student Council is the voice of R.H.S. students. Its members have a double responsibility—that of representing the entire school in the Council and that of carrying on the high standards that others have set before them. ROW ONE: Marie Sandoval.

At the beginning of the year the team lacked experience and know-how, but after the hard knocks of the first couple of games and some pointed 'advice' from Coach Connor, the team gained in ability and heart as a football team. With hustle, drive and spirit the Outlaw gridders moved into the select circle of AA competition. In our first year in double A competition we more than held our own and gave promise of being a power to watch in the future.

HOME COMING JUNIOR CLASS - Fourth Place 19 H OUTLAW DAY QUEEN GLORIA PETERSON PRINCESSES SANDI LEHTI NANCY MULLEN Outlaw Day at R.H.S. was celebrated in glorious and traditional manner with the presenting of an assembly, Outlaw Day Queen, and parade of class floats. The assembly included numbers by the R.H.S. band and the R.H.S. chorus, a skit by the Thespians, entitled Through the Years, and the crowning of the Queen, Gloria Peterson, by Dick Baker, President of R-Club. The parade which followed included a convertible for each member of the Royal Court, the R.H.S. band, and a float built by each class. Float prizes went to: Seniors, first; Sophomores, second; Freshmen, third; and Juniors, fourth. That evening, the Outlaws were defeated by the Evanston Red Devils by a score of 6 to 13 . 21 ATTENDANTS NITA SONDERGROTH Junior X T SHARON STEMPLE Freshman LYNN SANNES Sophomore HOME SWEET HOMICIDE THE JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Under the able direction of Miss Betty Sportsman, the junior class presented the play Home Sweet Homicide in November. This play, which was of the comedy-mystery type, afforded amply opportunities for both comic and serious acting. All of the members of the cast are to be commended for their fine performance on the stage. We have some wonderful talent upcoming in R.H.S. The prop and stage crews also did a very able job on this production . Everyone can look forward to some very fine stage productions from this year's junior class thespians. i ) rr FRONT: Tom Teague, Judy Engstrom, Nancyyack, tovau Vanderkooi, Sharon Wilcox, Bill Michie, Ed Walcott, Kay Staton, John McPherson.

Wonderful Wyoming Girls' State and Boys' State are a practical application of Americanism and good citizenship. They developed from the idea that youth should be offered a better perspective of the practical application of government and that the individual, being an integral part of government, is ultimately responsible for the character and success of government. Our representatives to Girls' State and Boys' State this year received several honors, among them was Sandra Lehti's election to the office of United States Senator, and Sharon O'Melia's being elected to represent Wyoming at Girls' Nation.

As Freshmen some of us were ready to take the place offered us, some were timid, but all of us were proud and thrilled. We were proud to claim the honor of being the largest class that has ever entered the school Most of us started our high school career a bit bewitched, bothered and bewildered. but soon became accustomed to the 'rigors' of homework and classroom study. With Mr. Masson as our class sponsor we built an outstanding float for Outlaw Day. With the Sophomores we put on the first formal dance of the year. Our first group endeavor in the entertainment world was our St. Patricks Day assembly. As a whole, we 24 ROW ONE: Marie DeLannay, Sharon Peterson, Margaret Morrison, Mary Hamm, Wanda Worley.

On December 19th we started out the yuletide season with a Christmas program by the Sophomores. Then school was dismissed for two wonderful weeks of winter fun. But January 5, 1959 was destined I to come, and so was our return to school. ▼ Studies and organizations rolled on in an orderly manner and soon came the finished product of the Band and Chorus's efforts in a great booming assembly before the student body. The dawn of February 6th was a hustle and bustle of activity in finishing up details for the winter formal. A month later on March 5-6-7 the Rawlins Outlaws were entered in the District Tournament at Green River. One of the highlights for Rawlins was that Ron Holloway received all-tourney honors. ■ RAWLINS OUTLAWS 1958-1959 Rawlins 40 Lovell 51 Rawlins 37 Lander 68 Rawlins 45 Meeker, Colo. 51 Rawlins 41 Jackson 49 Rawlins 47 Riverton 54 Rawlins 54 Lander 62 Rawlins 39 Fvanston 38 Rawl ins 52 Green River 46 Rawlins 25 Rock Springs 49 Rawlins 50 Craig, Colo. 48 Rawlins 47 Kemmerer 49 Rawlins 44 Star Valley 39 Rawlins 55 Cheyenne 53 Rawlins 35 Rock Springs 62 Rawlins 49 Evanston 51 Rawlins 50 Green River 58 Rawlins 43 Laramie 48 Rawl ins 49 Cheyenne 81 Rawlins 59 Jackson 55 Rawlins 43 Casper 58 Rawlins 41 Kemmerer 44 Rawl ins 56 Star Val ley 58 DISTRICT TOURNEY - GREEN RIVER Rawl ins 38 Kemmerer 43 Rawlins 55 Jackson 41 Rawlins 55 Evanston 59 ROW TWO: Mr. Hittner, Ted Forney.

In track to letter one must qualify for state track meet by placing at the district meet. The R Club's biggest activity during the year is its initiation of new members. These so-called neophytes have to perform various acts of courage and endurance before being allowed membership. One of these acts is the whitewashing of the Rawlins and R atop R Hill. Following several days of initiation the members are allowed to pay for a banquet for themselves and the old members. After this banquet, the neophytes are full-fledged members of R-Club. 37 + BAND The R.H.S. band presents three concerts annually, a fall concert, a Christmas concert and a spring concert. They present a half-time show at each home game during football season and the pep band performs at basketball games. The band and chorus present a joint assembly once a year.

The gym was completely transformed into a loveland of cupids and hearts. A huge red foil heart backed Russ Wolz's band, whose music effectively carried out the theme. White cupids aimed their arrows from a red crepe-paper wall on two sides of the gym. Lifelike silhouette dancers in front of the back wall added to the Valentine atmosphere. Heart-strewn arches led to the auditorium, where strawberry punch and Valentine cookies were served.

The library club of Rawlins High School had its beginning last year under the sponsorship of Mr. Partlow. It got off to a fine start with all the members participating in a state-wide campaign to raise money for a bombed-out high school in Clinton, Tennessee. A proud result of this campaign was a personal letter from Drew Pearson expressing his thanks for our large contribution. The aim of the group is to serve the faculty and students in every way possible. The final project of the year was a drive to acquire additional books and periodicals for the school library. One result of this project was the donation by the senior class of over three hundred dollars for books on Western Americana for the new high school library. The officers were Louise Moorhead, President; Diane Cantlin, Vice-President; and Jim Pepper, Student Council Representative.
