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. Joann Koroulis. ROW TWO: Mr. Montgomery. Mike Doyle. Dick Baker. STEERING COMMITTEE ROW ONE: Sandi Lehti, Jo Anne Moorhead. ROW TWO: Mr. Schwartz, Bob Strand, Alsymer Reeves. 14
