Class Officers: George Johansen press dent, Evelyn Koenecke, sec'y treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We as seniors remember many little incidents which have taken place during our high school days. Looking back, we relive many wonderful times at parties, games, and activities. llseptember lo was the Wearing of the Green for all freshmen and new faculty members. As we, the mighty seniors, initiated the Class of l953, we remembered the fateful night four years ago when we were initiated. lt was on that night t.hat we as meek little frosh were made to walk the gangplank at the seniors' Treasure lsland. That year we chose as our officers Patsy Dorow, presi- dent, Bob Jewell, vice-president, Marian Jermo, secretary-treasurer, Marcella Muchow, Loyalty representative. With a slight edge over the sophomores we placed third in Loyalty. 1lComing back as hopeful sophs, George Hanusa, president, Doris Gregory, vice-president, Frances Melcher, secretary-treasurer, and Lois Prange, Loyalty representative were chosen to lead us. Since Frances moved during the school year, Marita O'Brien was selected to replace her.

Flower gardens and a picket fence surrounded flower entwined lattice and the swing which was the royal throne. Many of us will also remember the wishes we made at the wishing well. Another thing which will be remembered is our Turkey in the Straw party held early in the year. To keep our class running smoothly, Ed Gschwind, president, George Johansen, vice-president, Shirley Stevens, secretary-treasurer, and Ardel Noth, Loyalty representative were elected and were aided by Mrs. laper, our class advisor. llAnd now comes our final year which to many of us will hold the fondest memories. To guide us in our final attempt at high school fame we chose George Johansen, president, Eugene Kramer, vice-president, Evelyn Koenecke, secretary-treasurer, and Margaret Haugh, Loyalty representative. We are very proud of those boys who brought athletic fame to our class and of Evelyn Koenecke, Sue Dohner, Verita Fisher, Ardel Noth, and George Hanusa who have led our cheers for them for the past two years. Special recognition should also be given to the hard work of those students who made the honor roll. 1lSo as we bid a last farewell to our days in RHS, we take with us many fond memories.
