He taught goverment and world history before becoming a counselor and earned the admiration of everyone. Although he was taken from us too soon we will remember his kind ways, his ability to understand students, and his de- sire to help. But most of all we'll remember Mr. Wood for the man he was and for his friendship to all. 150 They left lasting Impressions Although MR. MARION E. GAHAN Wasn’t a part of the high school game, he was a part of our lives. Mr. Gahan was the able teacher of English grammar to many of us as eighth graders. Always ready to listen to a problem, lend a help- ing hand, and offer a smile, Mr. Gahan will be remembered by everyone. It is for us the living . . . to be dedicated here to the unfinished work . . . Lincoln As we take one last look around R.H.S. , we think back to the fun times, the happiness, the disappoint- ments, the knowledge gained, and all the people who made the game a little easier and more worthwhile. Nowit's time for us to say good bye to the carefree, happy life of high school and take our place in the more serious game of adulthood. 152 ‘ - WV . V T (5 I. ' ■ r. r •.• . '■7 - ■•',►«� •«•' .
