BOLD RAPIDS OF THE ROCKVVISEH . . . GEORGE LASHBROOK, an attractive auburn haired boy is interested mainly in agriculture and athletics.

JEANETTE CHAPMAN, gifted with a pleasant voice and a charming personality, participated in several school activities. If you are looking for informa- tion on matrimony and the L'. S. Navy ask MAE DUNLAP. A quiet student is GEORGE DUGGINS who can be depended upon at all times. He is very much inter- ested in track. DORIS MCDONALD, the smallest girl in the senior class has only been with us two years. She is frequently called upon to entertain us with her accord- ian. DORTHENE SCHL'LTZ appears shy and demure but really isn't when one be- comes acquainted with her. She is one of our star girl basketball players. WINFRED BCRREL takes his school life very seriously and believes that silence is the best. A quiet and bashful girl which is quite a novelty in these days is LOUISE BAKER. Our repre- sentative in golf is JOHN MANNAN who is small of stature but has a wonderful swing. He is one of our star bookkeepers which may speak for his future. FRANCES HARD- ESTY has a very pleasing personality that has endeared her to all her R. H. S. friends. HOWARD BISHOP is the blushing red head of our class.
