STUDENT BODY The R. U. H. S. Student Body has had one of the most successful years in its history. This organi- zation bought a combination radio and phonograph for the school dances. It also secured several good pay assemblies, arranged the freshmen initiation, and hello day. The Student Body Officers for the first semester were: President, Charles Sawyerg Vice-President, Keith Shepard, Secretary, Virginia Swendigg Treasurer, Dorothy Croghan, Sergeant-at-Arms, Letter- meng Council Members, Charles Hiatt and Evelyn Ryderg Yell Leaders, Bud McDonald, Mary Ellen Hutchins and Frankie Stephenson.

STUDENT BODY PLAY When Harold Werple, a prospective bridegroom, came to the home town of his fiancee, he dropped in to see an old college acquaintance, Janet Williams, who was staying at the home of a Mrs. Baker. He persuaded the household to rehearse the marriage ceremony in order to gain self-confidence. All was well until it was learned that Wilbur, the butler who performed the ceremony, was a notary public. Director David L. Wilson decided to have two casts for this play. They were as follows: UTHIS CAST 'ATHAT CAST Minnie Carson . . . . . .Lucille Tranchell ...... .... I nez Johnson Marion Baker . . . . . .Lois McDonel ......, ....

This was merely the beginning of The Eyes of Tlaloc, a three-act mystery play directed by David Wilson. The action took place at the Arizona ranch of John Wayne fWilliam Hallj when he had mysteri- ously disappeared. Other characters who appeared early in the play were: Amanda Simpkins CPhyllis Meansj, John Wayne's housekeeperg her husband, Ezra CBob WhiteJg and Pudge Rogers, a friend of the Simpkins and partner in their crime CEdwin Schmidtl. The mystery was deepened throughout by disguised characters. The first person seen in disguise was Professor Hallett CNorval Grubbb, mas- querading as Tommy Tinker, a well-known prizefighter. His coming to the ranch created a disturbance because he immediately fell in love with John Wayne's niece, Nancy Howe QEvelyn Ryderj. Miss Howe brought with her two friends, Virginia Byrd and Pat Gillis fDeLora Davis and Betty Jeanne Kings- buryj. Other parts were Jim Wayne fMarvin Christyl, disguised as Professor Hallettg Pepita and Salvador Del Santos QDorothy Croghan and Rex Richardsonj, who come to the ranch in search of Pepito's husband, and Nawa, an Indian fLester Chitwoodl. The drama ended happily as all the mystery was solved and love found Nancy Howe and Tommy Tinker at the final curtain. The production staff included: William Hall, Warren Parr, Keith Shepard, Beryl Roberts, Vernon Kirby, lla Kissler, Agness Alexander, Will Kanoff, and Betty Mae Weigand. J UNIOR PLAY The scene of the play was Mrs. Spangler's rooming house at Brookfield College. The action started on the day before commencement and in addition to her regular college boy roomers, their girls kept popping in and out, a few parents and aunts turned up, and 'tPrexy and Professor Bean found several occasions to call. Things happened in this play for the characters were all struck with spring fever. The boys who lived in this house were Ed Burns, a chemistry studentg Vic Lewis, an art studentg and Howard Grant, a senior studying zoology. Lou Herron breezed in frequently to borrow the type- writer and to see Ed. Anne Purcell was Howard's Uheart interest. Ed's pals gave him many headaches and made his love affairs difficult. At the end Howard proved to be a big disappointment to his Aunt Maude, his girl, and his friends, but the play turned out to please everyone as Ed and Lou fell in love. This play was directed by David L. Wilson. The cast included Borden Beck, Jim Carlton, Margaret Carroll, Nadine Davenport, Kenneth Davis, Philip Fleck, Carol Helmholtz, Marian Henderson, Dorothy Hodge, Bill Mayfield, Donna Jean Peterson, and Floyd Van Buskirk.

GIRLS' LEAGUE Good fellowship and comradeship are the goals of the Girls' League, one of the outstanding or- ganizations of the school, whose advisor was again Miss Starla Parvin. All were invited to attend the initiation of the new and the freshmen girls, followed by the Big-and-Little-Sister dance for the new members. Betty Kriger, who was in charge of the Girls' League room, supervised its redecoration. An- other outstanding and successful activity was the publication of the etiquette book under the editorship of Virginia Swendig. The League gave a St. Patricks' Day dance on March 15. An event always anti- cipated by all is the Girls' League Tea for mothers and daughters.

Perhaps you remember that eventful Friday, the 17th of November, when the school seemed overrun with Tarzans showing off their muscles, they were the new Lettermen. Shortly after the initiation, on December the first, the Lettermen gave their dance. To the music of famous dance orchestras brought to them over the school's phonograph, the dancers tripped the light fantastic until Mr. Means threatened to hide the records.

FUTURE FARMERS 0F AMERICA In 1921 the Redmond Chapter of Future Farmers of America was formed. At that time it was a mere score of boys. Today, under the leadership of Mr. B. F. Beck, it has become the largest chapter in the state with a membership of 83 boys. The first activity was the annual Barn Dance. In the faint lanternlight of the hayloft of old Redmond Hi, the couples found merriment and cider at this most informal of dances. The F. F. A. put on parliamentary assemblies before the Redmond and Bend student bodies in preparation for the district contest, in which they were successful enough to win. The Father and Son banquet was planned for March eighth. At this time the members enter- tained their dads at a meal prepared by the home economics classes.
