We always thought to graduate Would make one really glad; But then it seemed instead of that The entire class looked sad. We ' re going to miss the Register, Stunt Night, and Senior Play. The old Block R and all our clubs That mean so much today. And Queen of Hearts, and Senior Prom, And parties all year through. Our senior treats and basketball games — I don ' t know what we ' ll do. Now here we are the seniors. And I guess we understand; It isn ' t quite the joyful time That we had always planned. Of course we ' re glad to graduate; We ' re very proud and such. But now we start to realize That we ' re giving up so much. It isn ' t such an easy thing For this class to drift apart. And break the bonds of friendships That we ' ve cherished from the start. Why, we ' ve grown up together, And there are twelve long years Just packed with schoolday memories- With all our joys and tears. Now we must face the future, For Time cannot be stayed; And this is but the first goal That we at length have made. Of course we hate to leave our school; We ' ll miss each lad and lass. But we always will remember Our grand old ' 40 class! Warren Perry Se4 uoA.6 .-t Jt l i ' ■- ' - ' — ' - S ' ' f -.Ti r- ' ■ -i C ' i ijt-- ' k. K-aj?. Six i9 0 James NEUMAN, Academic — 5r.

Coach Tiernan was able to bring his lads through with five wins and only four defeats. This is a record to be proud of. and one that will long be remembered by the team and the school. The team provided many a thrill, and drew larger crowds than usually attend our football games. The interest was keener this year than it has ever been, and accounts for the successful record the team was able to register. Considering this year ' s record, we feel it our duty to pay tribute to our 1939-40 football squad and their able coach, and we hope that every year from now on will be even more successful and more exciting than this year.

Thirty-nine AtlddlU BASKETBALL This year our Red Devils had a fairly successful season, winning 8 games and losing 11. Although our boys were unable to break even, they were in there, fighting hard each game. Our team gave us some real thrills this year and it drew the largest crowds in years to the new Civic Hall. We arc proud of everything that our boys did and hope that the team will be even better next year. Our team advanced to the regional play in the state tournament by defeat- ing the highly rated Hagerstown Tigers by a large score in the final game of the Richmond Sectional. This was, incidentally, the first Sectional to be played in Civic Hall. The Red Devil season came to a glorious close when they made an excel- lent showing against the Burris of Muncie Owls in the Regional, but lost 34-30. Yes. the Red Devil Team of 1939-40 will long be remembered.

Forty-two i9W TRACK When the first call for track was issued this spring, Coach Dick Ticrnan realized he had few lettermen back from his 19 39 team. Nevertheless, he felt that he could build a team with the material on hand and the prospects for this year. Some of those returning from last year were: Richard Clark, 100-yard dash; Charles Givens, shot put: Wcndall Harger. shot put: Robert Sowers, hurdles; Carl Crouch, broad jump. So far this season the team is strong in the field events and weak in the track events. Several underclassmen arc showing up well in the meets, which fact is very encouraging for the track team in the future.

James Daggy, who is the only returning letterman. plays in the number one position. He is ably supported by Henry Casey. Ray Davis. Charles Aidman. and Dudley Stinson. Other prospects for the team are Lou McClelland and Howard Parrish. Casey and McClelland are back from last year, and Aidman is making a strong bid as a freshman. The team ' s record for last year shows four wins and seven defeats. Forty-five AtkUtid GOLF The Richmond High Golf team placed fifth in the state meet last year The team had quite a record, for they won all of their dual meets and all but two of their quadrangular meets. Coach C. R. McNaughton lost all his regulars last year, and is building this year ' s squad around a group of Juniors which includes Sue Land. Sue is the first girl in the history of Richmond High ever to make an athletic team. The squad shapes up with Leo Bruck leading in the number one position, followed by Dick Cummins, Eugene Sturgis. and Sue Land. On hand for relief duty, we have John Juhasz and John Sevages. Forty-six i9W INTRAMURAL Through the kind efforts of Mr. Tiernan. the Intramural Basketball Tournament was made possible. Strong rivalry was shown by the boys who were glad to take advantage of Mr. Tiernan ' s efforts. The senior boys ' ad- visories came through on top, and Mr. Bugg ' s lads proved themselves fully capable of winning the tournament by defeating Mr. Treasurer ' s team by a margin of 6 points. Several close games were encountered by the winners, but each time, Alfred Chris and Frank Bradbury pulled them through with fine shooting from the field and free throw lines. The cup was accepted by Mr. Bugg. and each team member was awarded a T shirt for his well deserved efforts. Our sincere thanks is given to Mr. Tiernan for his interest in us and in our desire to play basketball. PING PONG Galen Lyons was the winner of the Ping-Pong Intramural Tournament held under the direction of Mr. Tiernan. Keen interest was clearly shown by the contestants. Galen, although a south paw, suffered no loss of confidence as he was fully capable of slapping the celluloid in the right places at the right time.

Sixty-three AlLu tn I— - F J - iA iAk A Day At Richmond High School Come! Step into the whirl of Hving! Step into Hfe as youth Hves it, as young blood flows, as new hearts sing. Come! Hark to the call of memories, to the whispers of the past. Let ' s go to school again! Let ' s remember the days of friendship and fun. when we lived, laughed, and learned. Let ' s go to school again! Up that long walk from Whitewater Boulevard to the school doors we go with Memory, and recall the many times we trudged that distance; in the winter with the wind biting our legs and the snow stinging healthy red into our cheeks; in the spring, infected with that well-known fever, lagging, lingering, slowly making our way up the steps. And oh. those steps! Taking one at a time made us feel like babies, but taking two at a time was so undignified! While we walked that distance that seemed to get longer every day, we could sec pupils coming across the bridge, and down from Main street; and then the special city bus would pull up to the curb, and unload those groups of people who came from across the city. And when we. the seniors of 1940. strode up the walk, the grass, little that there was then, seemed greener, and day by day grew more. Winter snows on the ornamental fir trees. The new green of spring against the darker shades told us that another summer vacation was in the offing. Some days we were late. and. as we rushed through the lobby, we tossed breathless greet- ings to passing friends. Some days we came early and had several minutes to visit with our friends. Remember how we spent those minutes? In the office, in the corridors, in the social hall — business and pleasure found us roaming the halls. Those lockers built into the wall were a real improvement over those of the old Morton. The novel social hall was the place to meet our friends. With fluted beige columns, checkered green and white floor, those decorative, square, white chandeliers, that centrally located spot was perfect for meetings. There we would sit and chatter until the ten-minute warning bell called us to classes and dispersed the happy crowd to all parts of the building. Remember — but how can you forget — the first time we heard the announcements over the loudspeakers. For two long periods we ' d endured the seemingly endless cycle of reading and reciting — now we were bored almost to tears — slumped over in our chairs — eyeing the clock hopefully . . . Attention. Please! We jerked up. startled from our day dreams. While Mr. Farmer read the announcements, we listened — that is. appeared to listen, for actually we forgot most of the things we should have remembered, and remembered many of the things we should have for- gotten. That is all! — the signing off signal — sounded uncannily like a police radio signal. Ah, but those word signals didn ' t last long, for they were replaced by the more subtle, dignified, popular tones of clear, rippling chimes. The bell! — We thronged into the corridors and over to Civic Hall for a surprise assembly program, hating it in winter, loving it in fall and spring. Along the sheltered walk we pushed, hastening for no other reason than that we had nothing else to do. because of course. Civic Hall could seat many times our number. Sixty-four f940 A DAY AT RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL We were seniors, and so puffed up because we could sit on the main floor while the juniors and freshies suffered in the bleachers. Suffered ' Well, not exactly, but they couldn ' t lean back unless kind people sat behind them, so they must have been a little uncomfortable. How proud we were of Civic Hall — its bigness, its newness, its magnificent stage with the heavy, velvety, dark green curtains with the big geld R at the top center. And best of all was its versatility. It was made as a gymnasium and stadium for basket- ball, and it was equipped to house concerts, lectures, assembly programs, and pep sessions, con- ventions — equipped with colossal drapes that could cut down the size to the area of the main floor. Oh yes. we had a right to be proud of Civic Hall. You may now pass to your third hour classes — Assembly was over so — We entered the study hall door, encountering a Peacock Picture Puzzle, with its interesting questions, such as. Can you locate North Balonia on the Pressed Ham Peninsula ' None of us ever could, as we took our seats to study. Most of us could never study either with a freight train passing, just urging us to count it. Fifty-three cars and never a chance afterwards to go to sleep with a teacher breezing around and a radiator buzzing. Thinking back, we can remem- ber the features of that spacious chamber. Well, there was a clock, a pencil charpener, a loud speaker, a never-never-never door to the library, and another never-never door we used only at the beginning and end of the period. In the back of the room, we remember a book shelf with- out books and a lone picture trying to cover four walls. On the floor tarried one-hundred thirty-five desks, and on the ceiling there were eighteen lights. Between, there was air which the teacher usually kept undisturbed by excessive sound. And at last, there came the bell ending the long wait for dinner. And. as we left, we noticed that we had a telephone in there, too. CAFETERIA— FOURTH PERIOD The teacher never kept us long when it was time to eat. The half hour spent in the cafe- teria was one of the enjoyable times of the day because we ate, although, for most of us, it de- tracted from the spending mazuma. How much can we afford to spend today. ' About twenty- cents worth of food held most of us for awhile. After waiting in line, we got food, good food — there were complaints of it. but most of those who complained either brought their din- ners or ate the food as it was. After the last bite of ice cream disappeared, we always took a few minutes to digest our hasty meal and to look around. We remember that this was a breed- ing place for romance, for it was always possible to see a few scattered couples eating together. As we left the dining hall, now and then another group would come rushing in for dinner. We saw them battle for the first places in line, while over at the free water station, many were those who were being splashed by the faucet that gushed like a geyser. Personally, we always pre- ferred the tame one. One can only remember trudging back for a few short minutes in that fourth-hour class before laboring through fifth hour with the end of school in sight. The fourth hour bell — the fifth hour — the welcome bell — Two-thirty, and the long school day was over for at least some of us. If we expected a ride home with our unfortunate friends, we had to wait until 3:35. Where to spend an extra hour was indeed a question. The social hall was cleared so as not to disturb those still in classes. The only refuge was the library, and that meant study. The library was the outstanding feature of the entire school and the one room that was always brought to the visitor ' s notice. When in it. we could easily imagine ourselves to be in the Congressional Library, at Washington. Blue Venetian blinds prevented the bright glare from striking our books. As we glanced upward, while trying to concentrate, our eyes met light blue walls and an egg grey ceiling. At each end of the large room were two small reading rooms where one was permitted to talk in a whisper. The hour quickly (?) passed as we studied, and of course did a little gossiping. Three-thirty-five and school was out for the day ' The hurry and the bustle of the pupils, all going in different directions, was terrific. One could hardly hear himself think above the din of everyone ' s talking. It was hardly possible to think that one school building could clear so quickly as this one. save for a few ' meetings here and there. Books were dumped into lockers, locker doors were slammed, hats were pushed on heads and there we went, out of the door, pushing, pushing to air and freedom again. That was our school day. Remember?

The Valiant, by Hall and Middlemas, and A Wedding by Kirkpatrick. Bargains, a human interest story depicting an ideal mother-in-law, fea- tured the following talent: Rene, Barbara Bull: The Salesgirl, Bettelou Daggy; Marty, Richard Smith: The Little Old Lady, Joan Boyce. The Valiant is a genuine tragedy, considered one of the finest plays of its kind ever written. In the play, to save his family. Harry Ford, as the prisoner, James Dyke, concealed his identity from even his sister. The audience. i)ow- ever. became aware of the relationship. The prison chaplain, Father Daly, was Warren Perry: Warden Holt. Warren Alexander: and Josephine Pans, the prisoner ' s sister, Elizabeth Moore. The parts of a jailor and an attendant were played by Walter Sellers and James Rourke. respectively. The third play on the program. A Wedding. dramatized the trials of a bridegroom who lost his collar-button while dressing for the wedding, and also had to contend with a nerve-wracking best man. The best man was Robert Weichman: the bride, Mary Jane Frame: and Jim Neuman. the prospective bridegroom. The groom ' s mother was present in the person of Beverly Muff and the bride ' s family was represented by her father and aunt. James Daggy and Vivian Nevue. Donald Conrad was the groomsman. The plays were under the direction of Jo Ellen Rodefeld and the faculty sponsor. Miss Finfrock.

' i ' fV DRAMATIC SOCIETY MOVIE It began last September as an idea in the minds of Harry Ford and Warren Alexander, and it all culminated in a regular Hollywood-style premiere, prov- ing to the world and to Richmond that the Senior Dramatic Society could and did make a motion picture short, financed and completed through the hard work of club members. The idea in itself wasn ' t so unusual: other clubs in other schools had been making movies for a long time. But the fact that the dramatic society of Rich- mond High School was going to make a short, generated an interested discus- sion among the pupils. At the first few meetings of the club, as plans for the picture were rapidly being pushed forward, competent officials, committees, cast, and assistants were selected and put to work. A clever travelogue with a human interest touch was outlined by the director. Harry Ford, and with a working script on hand, War- ren Alexander, the photographer, shot the first scenes, which were aerial views. Later, with assistants Jessamine Campbell and Walter Sellers, the two began work on the story itself. Boy and Girl of the script were enacted by Bob Weichman and Jo Ellen Rodefeld. and incidental bits were played by Rosalee Morton, Walter Sellers, and Patty. a bull dog. Seventy-four 19W Although inclement weather stopped actual shooting for more than two months, work on the production continued as the script committee, headed by James Rourke. composed the dedication and arranged the credit titles. With Kenneth Sherer. Vivian Nevue. Beverly Muff, and Virginia Grosvenor. other members of the committee, the group later began work on the continuity. Citizens and business establishments of Richmond were most generous in their cooperation with the production staff, and the local newspapers devoted many columns of publicity to the movie. Most of the action in the picture centers around the pursuit of the Girl by the Boy. and her efforts to evade his advances. Although the film begins as a travelogue, the narrator becomes so much interested in the love troubles of the young people that he wanders far from the original subject. Several inter- esting aerial views of the city, as well as some very artistic shots of attractive places in Richmond, are included in the completed film. Christened Love At First Flight by majority agreement of club members, this movie short represents much hard work on the part of the Senior Dramatic Society as a whole, and particularly on the parts of the literary and production staffs. Even though it is only an amateur endeavor, this movie. Love At First Flight. will serve as a stepping stone to future movie efforts in the Dramatic Society. Seventy-five AlLum SENIOR PLAY A gay comedy of June and youth. June Mad, the senior play of 1940, by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, centers around a boy ' s love for his glider and a girl ' s complicated first love affair. Elizabeth Moore, as 15 -year-old Penny Wood, falls in love with suave, flirtatious, wealthy young Roger Van Vleck. played by Robert Wiechman. Chuck Harris, the boy next door, played by Harry Ford, struggles throughout the play to save his precious glider from destruction which his unsympathetic father threatens. Complications, suspense, and loads of laughs make this play one of the best ever presented by a senior class. Mrs. Harry Kercheval was the director. The play was selected by a committee consisting of: Vivian Nevue, chair- man, Helen Overton. James Rourke, Constance Fosler. Warren Perry, and Miss Bradbury, faculty sponsor.

This organization, which is composed of approximately eighty-six girls, was the brain child of Mr. McNaughton in 1933. To be a member of this cheering section, it was first required that one be- long to the Girls ' Booster Club. Since the group has been made larger, older member s of the Red D3vil Pepsters. the junior affiliant of the Girls ' Booster Club, complete Block R. Practices were held once or twice a week during the basketball season and were supervised by Audrey Lindstrom. president. White blouses or sweaters were the first uniforms worn, but this year, costumed in dark shirts and red-hooded cardigans, the girls had a distinctive style seldom seen in extra-curricular activities. Every basketball game brought new yells and formations. With large red and white square boards, the group spelled out the teams ' names and various welcomes. The crowd was entertained before the game, at the half, and at quarters. This year Block R took it upon itself to elect the cheer leaders who were: seniors. Harry Ford. Keith Gabbard, and Bob Barrett: juniors. Douglas Hoyt. Mark Porterficld. and Malcolm Dubbs. The senior boys alternated in leadini Block ' R. Even though Block R disbands with its uni formed cheering section after the basketball season is over, sportmanship is continued in the form of the Girls ' Booster Club.
