Editorial . We have looked forward to the time when we would become alumnig yet it is with heavy hearts that we leave the classrooms, studyhalls, and corridors where many good times have been ours. We shall leave these halls with many mem- ories-some gay, some sad, some sentimental, and we shall enter upon a new kind of life, without the carefree manner that we have known here. It is a ravaged world that we must face, and R. H. S. has given us a better equipped mind with which to face it. Perhaps there has never been a time in history when seniors have had to walk into a life as uncertain as that of today. After we have each been established in our different walks of life, our thoughts will travel back to the days of high school when the class of 1951 was prominent in R. H. S. We will remember the thrills we have had at football games, the breath-taking moments in basketball, the pranks that the class jokers have pulled, our struggles with homework, our Washington Trip, and above all the friends We have made- perhaps never to see again. Yes, it is with heavy hearts that we leave R. H. S., but our hearts are grateful, too. It may be that a gentle tear will trickle down our cheeks as we turn our eyes from the brick-colored walls to face the world, and we will be thankful to R. H. S. for helping us to make the first step up the time-worn ladder of life. THE Enrron Q Words Words are a power A sword, a flame An inspiration Or a shame. They bound away to sudden space And ever after race and race, So guard them well. They hurt or heal They lift or lower They bring on joy Or make men cower. Words are a power. How often to a heart bowed down The right words bring such saving grace, The tired mind removes its frown And lifts a new and cheerful face. The tired world could do that, too, If it knew the words to use. Do you? CAROLYN BISHOP '51 Page Seven
