SAMUEL LLOYD Vice President JANE BEAVER Secretary aid of ig O - - J2oofz± !I7o 17j?£ utuxsil In the fall of 1936, the lens were focused on eighty-one effervescent freshmen, who were entering the imposing structure of R. H. S. with visions of beginning the filming of their careers. The film now printed piclures seventy-two as graduates of the class of 1940. We gradually developed more skill and have finally won the rank which we hove visioned. Robert Kanne, Wayne Milner, Elmer Phegley, Elmo Trudeau, John Davisson and Frank Teach have made colorful records as athletes. High scholas- tic records were formed by Jane Beaver, Phil Fendig, Eileen Nagel, Pauline Bi- shop, John Davisson and John Cook. Phil Fendig and John Davisson were elect- ed to the National Honorary Society in their junior year. During our junior year we presented a movie scenario of Second Childhood with Charlene Stanley and Phil Fendig as leads Another highlight of our junior year was our Prom. The dance was delightful and an unprecedented success. As seniors, eighteen students exhibited their histrionic ability in the class production Growing Pains with Suzanne Hopkins and Phil Fendig as leads. This, our senior year, has been most remarkable and enjoyable. Although we feel happy to be the first class to be graduated from the new school building it is with a feeling of sadness and regret that we leave this place of pleasant mem- ories. SPONSORS MR. DAVISSON MISS PADGETT Fane Ten
