Senior Class History As timid freshmen we were initiated into the activities of R.H.S. by the class of 1948 at their hardtime party. Our talents were not long hid- den under the timid exteriors. At homecoming, the first big event of the year, we carried off top honors for our homecoming skit, and a float from one of our homerooms won the the- ater party while Arnold Brylla and Jack Lucht carried off first and second places in the hobo parade. The officers were Connie Baumgar- ten, president; Herman Schroeder, vice-presi- dent; Jim Goodman, secretary-treasurer; and Dick Skinner, Loyalty representative. Our class was unique as it was the first class in many years to have a freshman class party. As our theme, we chose April Showers and featured as intermission entertainment, a spring fashion show with masculine models. Returning as assured sophomores we sudden- ly became aware of the meekness of the fresh- men and wondered if we had been the same. Our leaders for this year were Lyle Holtz, pres- ident; Duane Kraemer, vice-president; Helen Gade, secretary-treasurer; and Jack Lucht, Loyalty representative.

which our team played also made our sopho- more year a very memorable one. As con- fident juniors we elected Annabelle Phillips, Loyalty representative; John Prange, secre- tary-treasurer; Jerry Gant, vice-president; and Orlin Hasse, president; this also made him prom king. To reign as queen over our Dreamers Holiday prom. King Orlin chose Connie Baumgarten. Vince Warren's orchestra of Dubuque played for this superb affair. We held another very successful class party, the Harvest Moon Hop. Two other outstanding people that year were John Prange and De- lores Hasse who were selected to attend the 1950 Badger Boys and Girls State. Strutting in as bold, courageous seniors, we soon had the situation well in hand and immediately com- menced to plan a week of initiation for the frosh which was climaxed by the Greenhorn Ball. For our final year we elected John Prange, president; Martin Alwin, vice-presi- dent; Carrie Greenwood, secretary-treasurer; and for the Loyalty Council, Connie Baumgar- ten, Jack Lucht, and Duane Kraemer. Virginia Lathrope was chosen by the seniors and the faculty to receive the DAR award. We hope that these four years of high school training will enable us to assume the roles of active citizens and continue the American Way of Life. 25
