They have been acclaimed the Favorites of 1954 by their relatives, friends, and teachers because of their perseverance and achievements. The public will soon iudge them, not as a class, but will iudge them on their individual recordings Stardom will only come as a result of consistently good performances Through the years many of the original class were left behind until only those who held highest the goal of graduation remained To those who did remain Graduation Day stands as a day apart between youth and adulthood tis marks the end of one era and the beginning of another The successful completion of your high school course proves that goals can be reached There are new goals within your grasp new records to be se new successes to be achieved You may never gain the world but you con be the world s gain 2 -1, x C .

The arrival of class rings in September gave real impetus to class spirit, and no time was lost in making plans for the last year in high school. The hrst proiect, the Bebop l-lop, held on September 25, got class activities oft to a successful start. TO make money for the senior trip, the class sold Christmas cards, stationery, wallets, and magazines, After Christmas, the class set to work planning the annual Coronation Ball, the biggest dance of the year, which was held on January 6. At this affair, in the beautifully decorated gym, Donna Hancock and Stephen Toki were crowned Queen and King of the Senior Class. The royal couple was attended by eight other seniors who composed the court. February brought the thrill of putting on the tirst play in the new auditorium. Mr, Samuel and Miss Leila Dodd directed the fun-packed, riotous Calamity Kids. Lead roles were played by Carol . 'A ' 'nt' 1 1, 4. 1 B, 'Ns . Roger Barnhart, Trca.., to a Wingord, Stray., David Gero- sin, Vice Pros. McLaughlin, Anthony Sadosky, Barbara Paul, Dick Weller, Lois Jean Stewart and Jim Sanderson. The supporting cast was made up of Regina Puto, Janet Faith, David Gerosin, Joe Behr, and Violet Seliga. In April the Seniors were guests of the Juniors at a banquet at the beautiful Bedford Springs Hotel, and later they were again guests of the Juniors at a semi-formal prom in our gymnasium which was transformed into a Cinderella ballroom. Washington, D. C., was invaded by the Senior Class on May lO, ll, and l2. During the three days spent there, the members of the class were thrown into a whirl of excitement by tours and sights which will long remain among the long list of happy high school memories. With the excitement of Baccalaureate, Class Day, and Commencement, the hnal days of what had seemed an endless period of school lite closed in around us. One of our life's records had been cut. We were now ready to make recordings in the professional held, and we were all anxious that there would be many top hits among them. -1:47 FERN ALLEN EILEEN BARRY Ulf! fnI r1ffI Ut Candle JII fllr L J IJ rI I ont :ru wont r 1 M ACII s fmt on IXIIIES r f N an 2 EC .1 rt ROGER BARNHART W U11 VIRGINIA BAUMGARDNER V 0 stands d I4 w nr' r ,I Q o rr cornponust Ginny cc n o sees coIf-Q In f-rt th Q e L L f-CTI flTIES I J o :vang CIUU I otboII 2 I III S Oros f pen Ntfg my-v Urslty n 3 Fourteen sensors composed the Physlcs Closs with Golen I-Iottmon In ot Ieost one experlment to help light electruclty ond other phoses of some dernonstrotIonoI rnotertots os teocher Eoch week they turned In Ieornlng obout rnechonucs sound of noture In closs they ntode use whtch were borrowed Irorn Iocol rnerchonts One of the rnost Interesttng protects ot the closs vvos o heId trap to the Combrto County Vvor IVIentorIoI In oddltuon o tourung he buuldung they observed tI'e process of mokung Ice on the oreno tloor OL BLACK MAGIC I9 ro S unxor of PC DISCOVERIES PHYSICS 'In 3' Y1fI'5rI'If 1 f i V QQ Us 1 X XX y I .

As is customary at Richland Township High School, the Sophornores selected class colors, a motto, and a flower. The colors chosen were yellow and gray, the choice of a flower was the yellow tea rose, and the motto agreed upon is one that will serve them well long after their school days are over, Whatever you do, do wisely and think of the consequences. The Sophornores may remember themselves best by their position in the lunch line, but others in the school will remember them by their active participation in student activities. Sports, music, and club work were all the better for the contributions made by this class. The Sophomores were also heard from in the scholastic field, Four of the girls had poems published in the National Anthology of High School Poetry. These girls who were members of John Kuzmialc's English Class were Jean Adkinson Barbara Fisher Barbara Roger, and Judy Wertz ROOM 'll7 44 rr aanl , c n er is se L Bloom J Varner Mc o J 1 !cGocgn ack u c ar e T Luther W McCan R Stuart W 3 A eirnonn ee Kara a F Karchna Mc orn n a BOTTOM TO RON l H erlcey M li D w rtz A Na Jin J t am is aern Oa le Lamb ng R 5 :fi ack inn e ner N r n arrf-tcn .A A or-rl Q- Hotecker R Helman W Ba nhar T Donald an R Ke n 43 'Y .T Ag ' A . 4 Y E Q . - A ' Z' ' . . 2 ..

Neither do they think ot those vvho stoy lcite to pot ointinent on the Roms' bottered bodies. Uncomploiningly, they' torry, both in victory ond defeot, to untongle their motted wool ond to bondode the score suttered in the heot of conflict.
