J’oreivor Our Highway to the Future . . . that’s what we consider our high school years . . . Before us lies a blind curve which hides what tomorrow will bring . . . and a sign marked “No U Turn” reminds us that there is no turning back . . . except through the pages of our PIONEER, which records the well-remembered road of the past . . . from the day that the first green light flashed us the signal to swing into line as Sophomores at R.H.S. and learn the rules of the road . . . until now, June 1951 . . . when we Seniors have reached the end of our “through way” together . . . At times the road was rough, and the grades were steep . . . warning lights flashed and bar¬ riers of books, exams, and marks rose ahead . . . but instruction and perseverance carried us through . . . Happily, many inviting byways opened off our highway . . . sports, dances, clubs, plays, musicals, assemblies afforded us fun and relaxation, and a chance to play together . . . Now, at the graduation milestone, our road branches off in many directions . . . some of us will take the route marked “Further Education” . . . some, “Business” . . . and many, that U.S. High¬ way marked “Armed Forces” . . . Whatever may lie around the bend . . . our journey on our Highway has prepared us to meet the future ... if we continue to observe our rule for success . . . stay in line and keep to the right.. . UaUe of (Contents Autumn Page 3 Winter Page 23 Spring Page 39 s4utumn Autumn . . . once more we swung onto our highway, ready and eager to begin our journey . . . Many of our sturdy boys anticipated their drive down the familiar sideroad to the gridiron . . . with all its colorful accompaniments . . . others of us, interested in dramatics, were eager to swerve onto the stage to present the Senior Play . . . All of us prepared to busy ourselves with our books . . . Our newest arrivals, the Class of ’53 launched plans to stop at a roadside stand to brighten their spirits at the annual Sophomore Hop, to take place just before the last of the autumn leaves made way for Winter . . . ushered in by the Christmas season . . .
