Mr. Mayfield the teacher DONALD MAYFIELD Most graduates will look back upon their high school days remembering Mr. Mayfield, one of the outstanding teachers in RHS. He has built his life on many interests and hobbies both inside and outside of school. We have known him as our class advisor for three years. While working on the Prom, or being in Rod and Gun Club, we have come to know him not only as a teacher but as a friend. In following our theme. 'This Year We Build, we feel he has helped build us into what we are. In appreciation for every- thing he has done for us. we. the class of 54, dedicate our C deaner to Mr. Mayfield.

A Jr ., our class rings came in Dec. and brought excitement galore. Our Prom. ’’April In Paris’’ was April 17 with Melvin Licht and Judy Rice reign ing. and it was beautiful beyond words.

Drifting down through the corridors of the old building during the sixth hour on any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, comes the melodious strains of the various songs sung by our choir throughout the year. Their many performances keep them busy, but they’re never too busy to spread a little Christmas cheer by caroling through the halls the last Friday before vacation. 1 hey also play a very prominent part in the annual Christmas pageant at South School. No Spring is complete without the music festival and here the choir sings for the honor and fame of their school. 1 he choir provides excellent opportunity for build- ing musical talents and it plays an important role in the construction of our school.

The Purple Banner has served for many years as the chief tool among the laborers at R.H.S. in becoming acquainted with the students, activities, and teachers. Every Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday sixth hour finds the Purple Banner staff busy working on write-ups, typing copies, and scurrying about to meet the deadlines. Each member of the staff has some specific duty to perform such as: Working on activities, editorials, humor, feature articles, classroom notes, and photography. We. as Seniors offer a helpful hint to you juniors, sophomores, and fresh men. beware of your answers to the inquiring reporters for they no doubt will appear in the next issue of the school news- paper. Hidden literary talents often come to light through the publication of original poems and editorials found in the Purple Banner. The student newspaper is published eight times during the current year, and each issue is looked forward to with great anticipation by the student body. Often colorful edi- tions of the paper appear in keeping with the season of the year or a particular holiday. Senior Editor. Ardell Krey; along with News Editor, Anna Haugh; Make-up Editor. Juliett Good: and Copy Editor. Glen Miller: have performed their jobs well. With the help of Mr. Westerman and Robert Gates, some excellent pictures have been revealed to the student body.

H. S.’s 1953 football season can not really be termed a successful season, but the team was really in there pitching as bard as they could at every game and that’s what counts. During the season. R.H.S. won two games and lost six. and though this was slightly disappointing, the fellows never lost their spirit. The team was made up. for the most part, of underclassmen. 1 here were only six seniors who played constantly. There were also only four lettermen w ho started the season. The best team work of the season took place during the second half of the Sparta-Reedsburg game in which the team held the opponents to two first downs and no score, while we scored two touchdowns, and nearly made it for a third. The first T.D. of the season was made by John Bill in the Montello game. John ran for the touchdown in the first few seconds of the game right after the kick-off. The Richland Center game, which was played on October 16. was Reeds- burg s homecoming. We lost the game 16-0. The team elected Jim Varnes as captain for the season. ROW 1 • F. Brandi, A. Stanton, W.
