At the first class meeting Robert Turfler was elected president. Despite the fact that they were freshmen, these young people distinguished themselves in many ways. Three members were in the Music Memory Contest at Indianapolis, George Maines won first place in the Goodfellowship Contest, and Margene Roth won the County Latin Contest. As Sophomores the Class consisted of about sixty-six members, headed by Lloyd Sigo as president. Rosalind Kruzan had the lead in the operetta and several others had principal roles. Margene Roth won the County Latin Contest, and Emalee Colton won the R. M. D. Reading Contest. The junior year with George Maines as chief executive was climaxed by one of the most successful proms held by R. H. S., but it did not overshadow any of the other events of the year. Walter McColly had the leading part in the operetta, Jane Myer won the R. M. D. Vocal Contest, Emalee Colton won the R. M. D. Reading Contest, and Mildred Ramey took second place in the Goodfellowship Contest. Ruth Overton, Dorothy Anderson, and Mildred Morrow were awarded places in the local typing contest. In the last year at R. H. S. more honors were awarded to individuals of the 1929 Class: Jane Myer and Charles Grow had the major parts in the operetta, and the cast included many other seniors. During the four years many of the boys were active in athletics. In the senior year Denver Tudor was football captain, Walter McColly basketball captain, and Robert Wright track captain. Many other boys won their football, basketball, and track letters. The Class has had many good times during its high school career and now, when leaving, wishes you the best of luck. Page Twenty
