A happy lot was the Board of Education and Mr. Lynch the night of Dec. 5th, when the third attempt at voting school bonds for vitally needed new buildings passed bya thumping 69.6 per cent. The 5238,000 bond issue barely missed setting a school bond election vote record. It was the team work of the organizations, such as the Chamber ofCommerce, .TayCees, P.TA, etc., that contributed to the success of this election. Even a group of our own band members braved the zero weather to play atop a truck to call the people's attention to the fact that there was an election that day and that it was time to exercise the right of all free Americans. Our Board of Education gives freely of its valuable time from various professions, to improve the facilities of our schools, to select well-qualified teachers,and to make decisions on the problems presented by the increasing enrollment in our school system.

Vacation finds her high in the Rockies enjoying January in June. It is with great pleasure and admiration that we dedicate the 1959 Pep to you, Miss Altaffer. We, who have taken shorthand, bookkeeping or typing, know you as one of the finest persons in ROHS. Under Your firm but pleasant guidance, we have learned the all-important skills that are so essential to everyday Life. We shall be ever grateful to you for your understanding of us, your students, our memories of our year in typing cannot be better expressed than by this excerpt from a poem by John Masefield: Attending Teacher's Meeting . . Then the black-bright, smoth-running, clicking clean, Brushed, oiled and dainty typewriting machine, With tins of ribbons waiting for the blows Which soon will hammer them to verse and prose. She likes to picnic, too . . . . Miss A1taffer's attractive apart- ment is furnished in Early American. She likes to curl up on the sofa and read a good book, a favorite pastime take time out to watch one of her special programs on TV. Enjoys dinner parties with friends.
