A nrYuudb tdi OtWjdb Jthsu A ujcAxv : SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Soon after entering R. H. $., we lowly freshmen were initiated by the seniors. The Luck o' the Irish was wished on us as we kissed the Blarney Stone at the Wearing of the Green Initiation Party. To lead us through our lucky and eventful year we elected Nor- man Zimmerman, president; Pat Doyle, vice-presi- dent; Jessie Howard, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Byrnes, Loyalty representative. Louise Wirth and our Irishman Dwight Cowan were the freshman Home- coming royalty. Our luck ran out, however, for at the end of the year, we took fourth place in Loyalty. In our sophomore year, our twins shared top class office posts. Herman Kramer was president, and Helen was secretary-treasurer. Other leaders of the year were Ed Schuette, vice-president; and Joyce Retzlaff, Myron Noth, and Charles Douglas, Loyalty representatives. Homecoming found Pat Gallagher and Charles Douglas as sophomore royalty. The day before school was out. Bill Mahr died. Everyone has greatly missed Billie's happy personality. Our Jun- ior year was indeed a busy one. At the beginning of the year, Don Reinfeldt was elected president of the class with Marcia Mason filling the post of vice-presi- dent, lone Meyer, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Gal- lagher, Myron Noth, and Norman Zimmerman Loyal- ty representatives. Donna Steinhorst and Larry Foss resided in the junior spot for Homecoming royalty this year. Soon after Homecoming, we sponsored a Hob Goblin dance for Halloween. Black and orange streamers draped the gym and a black silhouette of an old witch on her broom festooned the curtain be- hind the orchestra. Tragedy struck our class when death claimed another of our number; Johnny Frie- bel was killed December 1, when the truck he was driving rolled over. We felt as if we were really up- per classmen when we got our class rings the last part of January. April 18 the Stairway to the Stars Prom was presented with Pat Doyle and Larry Foss reigning. Various sized stars were so arranged that they formed a sky over the gym floor, and the throne was placed on the stage in a prominent position near the stairway. Pat Gallagher and Myron Noth were chosen to attend Badger Girls' and Boys’ State at Madison and Ripon. This.our senior year, has been about the most eventful of all four. Early in the year, Mike Gschwind was elected class president with Jim Roever as vice-president, Ruth Krueger, sec- retary-treasurer, and Carol Daniels, Don Lichte, and Myron Noth on the Loyalty Council; Myron also be- ing Loyalty Council president. We all miss August Peper who was fatally injured in a traffic accident last summer. The Baby Sitter's Ball was given Sept- ember 12 to initiate the new freshmen into R. H. S. life. October 17 was Homecoming with Yvonne Cour- tier and Gene Berning on the throne. In February, lone Meyer was selected D. A. R. candidate by the seniors and faculty. The comedy Meet Corliss Ar- cher was given by the Senior class in April, and was a great success. Throughout our four years, many in our class have been outstanding in sports, music, and other extra-curricular activities in which great honors have been brought to our school. Per- haps someday, many of us will travel throughout the world making new friends in all lands and races, and thus promoting world peace. Top Row: Myron Noth, Donald lichle, Carol Daniels, loyalty representatives. Bottom Row: CLASS OFFICERS Jomes Roever, vice-president; Michoel Gschwind, president; Ruth Krueger secretary-treasurer.
