 DecUcatt0 t What we do now and how we do it determines what we will do in the future and how we will do it. We the seniors of R.H.S. would like to dedicate the 1965 Echo to one of our teachers who has not only taught us all she was capable of, but has made sure we go about every step of it in the right way. This teacher is Mrs. Lois Mathiak. For many years, Mrs. Mathiak has had the whole commercial curriculum in her hands. This year she has been given the assistance of a new teacher at R.H.S. But setting an example for all of us, she takes on a new challenge, one that has occupied most of her summer, a vacation she had well earned but did not receive. She took it upon herself to go back to school and made it her responsibility to operate a co-operative plan for our high school. Mrs. Mathiak, you not only are one of our best and favorite teachers, but you are also one of our friends. A friend we can confide in whenever the need arises. A friend who is always true to us and who gives us advice without ordering us. We only wish we could show our appreciation to the extent that we feel it. You have given many of us our future, a future we can be proud of, for it has solid background - the background you presented us through our years at R.H.S. She teaches, participates in al- most every activity, and goes all out to be helpful to others.
