First of all is Iim Farmer, our hard-Working principal, assisted by Mr. Houg- land and Miss Erdahl, the class counselors, and the capable faculty, in addition, the librarians, Mrs. Lacey and Miss King, and Mrs. Harold in the Rental Room. We must not forget, too, the beneficial policies and activities carried on by our Board of Trustees, headed by Mr. Garrison, the office staff: Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Davenport, and the cleaning staH and cafeteria staff, directed by Mrs. Hyne, which are also very essential for a progressive school such as R.H.S. We cannot give too much credit to Miss Fornshell, Who greatly helped organize the section and read proof. Yes, the studies are included in this section, too, for it i is they who enjoy the many activities and chances for a good ' . s , 2 education that are offered at Rl-l.S. ,C if f .Q L X EAIPNIA1 X EDl!Cf4770!Vf P g S .J-Irv K. qu Y rs! 1 W +A.: , 14-vw ' f 1 im 'Wim Saciaf ealumn - Jil.

Gr, remember the time vve sat out in the stadium, in pouring rain to Watch Richmond come from behind to tie the championship Lafayette Broncos in a thrilling, mud-Hying football game. Sure it Was fun and yould do it all over again if you had the chance. Athletics gives everyone the chance to learn hovv to Work and cooperate to- gether. It gives us the chance to meet our fellow man. lt teaches us hovv to vvin as Well as hovv to l . ose ' v.:,rWfZ4,,,,,0 - Sports give us all a chance to be closer together. 1' So, you can see that Without sports, this would be, Q qs, QI ,I 5 Wherein, a pretty dull place to live.

Those yellow trousers and skirts belong exclusively to the uupperclassmenf' We have worked for eleven years to attain that desirable status of a Senior,,' and have finally reached it. Other years have offered much, but this year has been boundless in good times, pleasant memories, and productive work. Gur Senior Party in Civic Hall, our hard working Senior Council 5 our cooperative class sponsors, Miss Fihe and Mr. Keefer, the Senior Play, the Pierian, the hilarious Class Day Program, Caps and Gowns, Baccalaureate ,S Commencement, and last, but not least, that Com- mencement Dance are just a few of the marvelous memories we have. The year has had much, both good and bad. The joy of graduation is wonderful, indeed, but it is lessened somewhat by the reailization that there will be no more school day memories. Eleven years is a long time to wait for something, but each and every Senior will admit that it has been well worth it. We Seniors all wish you as much fun as we have had.

ELLA BOND4 JOHNSTON is on the Sophomore page because she has probably welcomed more Sopho- mores than any other person. We think it Fitting that here, on our first Sopho- more page, she should introduce this class, Mrs. Iohnston, if you please- S 14... The Sophomore Class of 49 have gone through the same tactics that the Iuniors and Seniors went through when they first came to high school. Being Wiser than previous classes, they were not so easily sold tickets for the elevators and cafeteria. Time passes so quickly that it isn't long before the Sophomores are going steady, Wearing Hovvers after the big dances, having trouble getting the car, and all the other little things that make it hard to dis- tinguish them from the upperclassmen. A11 in all they're a grand group of kids to leave R.H.S. in the hands of-or vice versa!

Garrison, superintendent of schools, was composed of five socially responsible citizens. The principal duty of the board Was to form the policies of the city school system. Policies, in a school system, are the basis of conditions for students and teacher, and also for the community. In forming the policies or un- written rules of the system the six members had a variety of sides of the question to take into consideration. Having been appointed to olhce by the mayor, each member found that he was a part of the organization which Was also responsible for the actual maintenance of proper curricula in the schools. They were also responsible for replacing the teachers who left the school system during the year. Page Fifty-reverz x 2 1 i 417' V Eclitor A . Staff: , . . Typists .

Activities Board The hub', of activities centers around our industrious student council which we call Activities Board. This group is composed of a representative from each home room in the school. It makes many of the policies of the school and is active in any of the work done by the school as a unit. Ernie Olson was the able president of this group and was assisted by the faculty sponsor, Miss Erdahl. Through the year they had many projects which aided not only the high school, but the community as well. They sponsored such activities as the IOB parties, Citizenship Day, 9A Visitation Day, and the All-School Party. Parties are not the main duty of the Board, however. To this group come everyday problems of the students. Here solutions are found which satisfy the majority of the pupils. Here we find democracy in action. The Activities Board is an institution for which our school is noted. Page Sixty Home Economics Club Did you see an extra-pretty girl running through the hall the other day? Did you see a gal who looked as though she knew all the hows and whys of putting on make-up or one who had a specially neat wardrobe? Well, the chances are all these misses are members of the Home Economics club. The girls in this club have really been busy this year with speakers and dis- cussions on all sorts of things. The girls have talked about date etiquette, table manners, appearance, and so forth. They also Went to visit the Electric Kitchen. Cl suppose they could all tell us how to fix the ice box or how to run an electric oven.j ln the Home Economics club all the time is not devoted to speakers and talks though. The girls also have given a play, and they had a party, also a pitch-in supper. Bettie Miller is president and Mrs. Parker is their sponsor.

Meetings have been interesting and fun, outside activities, good times for all. We've scarcely appreciated all the work these thirteen gals did to bring us the Y-Teen assemblies, the Autumn Nocturne, the Mardi Gras, and the rest of this year's activities, because they did it all with such an appearance of ease. Their sponsors and Y-Teen mothers, with Miss Dorothy Gleckner and Miss Iulia Sperling, have helped them greatly. The Y-Teen Cabinettwill long be remembered for their fine work.

Page Sixty-Iwo Senior I-Ii-Y The Senior Hi-Y is an organization which is outstanding in both school and com- munity activities. It is not a good-timen club only, though it does sponsor one of our biggest school dances, the Queen of Hearts Ball. The boys also have put on the beautiful Easter assembly and other projects of a more serious nature. There are about fifty-five members in the Senior Hi-Y, and they are all active at one time or another during the year with club projects. Their president this year was Ernest Olson, and their sponsors were Mr. Brenneman at school and I. K. Wolfe at the Y.M.C.A.

It helps the freshman fellows get acquainted with the school and the students. This year the club had two initiations, one at the opening of school and a second at mid-term. The boys also gave a party, and they worked hard during the Red Cross Drive putting up signs on the lamp posts downtown. The sponsor of the Freshman Hi-Y Club is Mr. Chase, and their president is Keifer Calkins. Page Sixty-three Deb-Y-Teens Melody Maidens Teen Toppers Deb-Y-Teens Marnajs group did a variety of things this year, and all the girls really enjoyed themselves. One of their best outside activities was a swim and a pitch- in supper. ln group meetings they held contests for which prizes were awarded, and Mrs. Bone from the Anderson School was one of their speakers. Her topic was Modern Make-up and Hair Styles. Iune Coulter was devotional chairman and Mrs. Riche- son was their sponsor. Melody Maidens The Melody Maidens, as one might easily guess, were highly musical in their Y-Teen meetings. They had a choir, learned new songs, and really carried out their musical theme. But they, too, saw Dick Olson's pantomimes and had interesting speakers. They held a discussion on boy-girl rela- tions at a meeting when hve Hi-Y boys attended, and Mr. Baker and Mr. Peacock both talked to them. Their sponsor was Mrs. Lynch and their devotional chairman Pat Hayley. Jabber Janes Teen Toppers Everyone learned about the Teen Toppers early this year for one of their First projects was making red and white crepe paper shakers for one of the football games. They had a Valentines Day party which was a great success. Dick Olson,s perform- ance was much enjoyed by all. Ianice Fowl was their devotional chairman and Miss Stinson their sponsor. Jabber Janes Marilyn Cordes's group had several highly in- teresting programs this year. Of course, the one which was probably most interesting was a party held at the Y.W.C.A. They also, however, carried out a Red Cross project for St. Patrickls Day, and they had a Merle Norman demonstrator to talk to them about applying make-up correctly. They, too, saw those pantomimes of Dick Olson's Cthat young man says he's a member-honorary, to be sure-of the Y-Teens, and weire beginning to see whyj and had other speakers. Their sponsor was Miss Meacham and devotional chairman Leanne Brenne- man. Pczgc Sixty-jour J og Along Jo's loanne Ramey's girls learned the very newest dances this year. Miss Kolp attended one meeting to show them some of the new-fangled steps, and besides that they learned several South Amer- ican dances and the Schottish. They had parties at the Y.W.C.A. which, of course, went over big with all concerned. Their sponsor was Mrs. Dolan and Carolyn Miller was devotional chairman. Korduroy Kids Those Korduroy Kids really had fun this year with style shows, planning wardrobes, and having swims. Coach Baker gave the girls an interesting talk on our favorite Indiana sport, basketball. They held several parties which were greatly enjoyed by all. Their devotional chairman was Dorothy Zuber and their sponsor was Miss Crabb. Jog Along J'o's Juke-Box-.Tennies Claudine's group had a Christmas party and another on Valentine's Day. If those special an- nouncements were any indication, the parties were really out of this world! Miss Possenkemper was their able sponsor and Rose Krupa their devotional chairman. This lucky fand hard-workingb group won the Hve dollar prize for selling Christmas cards. Adam's Apples This busy Y-Teen group had a variety of pro- grams this year. They heard about South America at one meeting and about hair styles and make-up at another, as well as having a radio play, a jam session, and a quiz show. It sounds to us as though Georgia and her gals had a grand time. Their sponsor was Miss Eliason and Leah Pollock was devotional chairman.

They had a grand swim and a pitch-in supper at the Y.W.C.A. Miss Fornshell was their sponsor and Carol Kercheval their devotional chairman. Susie's Satans ,Sue Romey's group went in for the various sports this year, having Mr. Baker and Mr. Tiernan as speakers on basketball and wrestling foh, you kidj. The girls presented a skit on school spirit to the other Y-Teen groups. A pitch-in supper and a swim was greatly enjoyed by all. Miss Clark was their sponsor and Betsy Pfeiffer was the devotional chairman. Saucy Seniors Woody Woodpeckers These busy gals showed great artistic ability in their craft work. They worked with leather mostly and produced such articles as billfolds, coin purses, and belts. They also carried out a Red Cross project, as did several other Y-Teen groups. From what we hear, however, their favorite activity was having swims. Miss Hicks was their sponsor and Pat Chas- teen devotional chairman. Saucy Seniors Ioyce Albinls group had several different types of programs this year as well as a really swell swim and a pitch-in supper. They recorded their voices, heard about New Mexico and a jet plane pilot, and had Dick Olson do several of his pantomimes for them. Mrs. Wilkinson was their sponsor and Pat Sowers devotional chairman. Page Sixty-fix This is I. Carltons favorite picture of the school. Because it shows the entire campus and because the Pierian staff wants to graduate, we include it here. The Y-Teen Club The Great-grandmother of our present day Y-Teens was a little Girl Reserve who arrived in Oakland, California, in the year 1881. She wasn't very big, only one club. Her parents were the Y.W.C.A. and she had relatives all over the world. From Oakland this little girl moved all over the United States. At last she came to Richmond, Indiana. When she reached here, she settled in Morton High School. She was composed of sixteen members. What year? Why, in 1918, don't you remember? For a nurse maid she had Mrs. E. C. Cline. Of course, Mrs. Cline was called a sponsor. She had grown a little since she came to California and now she had 13 interested groups. This time she arrived before her parents. Three years before to be exact. You know how girls like to get around, especially such a nice girl as this one. There must have been a housing shortage in those days too, because she didn't move in with fbecome affiliated withj her mother, the Y.W.C.A., until 1926. In 1939 she moved to good old R.H.S. Some of the sponsors here were Mrs. Hubert Lacey, Mrs. Iames Strahan, Miss Emily Murphy, and Miss Ianet Land. In the year 1946 she got her new name. No, she did not get married! She just became a Y-Teen. To bring us up to date on this busy little gal we find her list of activities for a year. She has bi-weekly meet- ings, Red Cross and Y.W.C.A. World Fellowship projects, Mardi Gras, Thanksgiving and Easter Devotions, Sum- mer Conference, formal and informal dances, big and little sister programs, and initiation and installation break- fast. She has really grown up since 1918, now, she has 475 members in 13 groups headed by 14 cabinet members and Miss Iulia Sperling and other faculty sponsors. The Cabinet Meetings are held at the Y.W.C.A. She even has her own club rooms now, known as the Stable. Thus is the life of our little Y-Teen from 1881 to 1949, Most of us do not know what the first Y-Teens were like, but we know that the Y-Teens of the last few years were the best in our judgment. Why? Because we were those Y-Teens and it gives a feeling of good companionship that we will cherish throughout our lives. Page Sixty-:even I-msvmsy If you can find yourself, you're better than we are! Ari Club Those of us who are uninformed on the subject are apt to think that the Art Club has always been one group. Actually it was two divided groups which met on alternating weeks. These two had different officers though they did essentially the same things and had the same sponsor, Mr. Campbell. Later they consolidated and went on to bigger and better things. The Art Club members have visited the art galleries several times, and Mrs. Iohnston has explained the various exhibits to them. During their meetings they have had speakers who are artists themselves, and they have carried out projects this year such as making posters for different school activities, parties, dances and the like.

If you noticed some of them gliding about our stately halls, doing the fox trot, the waltz, or perhaps the lindy, here is an explanation of these activities. No, it was not spring fever. It was the dancing club's influence. They learned the newest and best dances and several old favorites, everything from the two step to the latest of them all, the Samba. A dance was held in Social Hall which was a big success. The club was sponsored by Miss Coulter and Mrs. Shallenburg. The instructors were 'ithose world-famous dancing masters, Wanda Batt, Shirley Ballard, Bea Houseman, Pat Frame, and Kenny Brumley.

Photography Club This club is under the supervision of Mr. Miller. It is an extra-curricular class which teaches interested students the art of taking and developing pictures. The members of this group took many interesting pictures, the truth of which some few seniors could verify. Some of these pictures seemed to get misplaced during the course of the instruction, but I do not doubt that a certain member of the basketball squad could help you to locate some of them. By the end of the semester the students for should I say membersy of this group are supposed to know the lens from the film. It seems some fMr. Miller, perhaps?j werenit quite sure which was which at the beginning, fand we wonit vouch for their knowing at the endj. Page Sixty-nifzc Riding Club The Riding Club this year took two trips to Brown County to go horseback riding. They also planned a trip to Lexington, Kentucky, Qbut as we go to press we don't know if their plans will conform to the weatherj. They were to visit several famous horse farms there.

The members form the bulk of all committees for Iunior and Senior class activities. They have a great deal to do with all class aPrairs, particularly the social activities. These groups have a large part in planning for all the activities which fall about commence- ment time and also! sponsor the lunior-Senior Prom. We all owe them a vote of thanks for their work.

Model Airplane Club Perhaps, dear reader, you were one of the unlucky students who happened to drop by Civic Hall while the Model Airplane Club was holding a meeting. If so, you probably were practically deafened by the roar of the machines and the shouts of Get out of the way and Well, stupid, are you going to move or aren't youF7, and Wipe up the blood, son, don,t step in it. We were told these remarks were necessary for keeping the planes safe. In nice weather, however, the meetings were held out-of-doors Cwhich made the gym safe for the rest of usb.

Junior Red Cross Few of the students of R.H.S. realize within our school is a club which belongs to the largest youth service group in the world. This great club is the Iunior Red Cross which serves many needy children overseas by supply- ing them with necessities of both school and home. They also do work for the needy in their own area making personal comfort items for veterans such as joke books and games. At every holiday season they make favors to be placed on the food trays of hospitalized veterans. To raise the money needed for these projects they sponsored an all school skate in the fall of the school year. These civic-minded members of this club ask nothing in return for their work save the enjoyment they receive from doing it. Officers this year were Maxine Shears, Louise Pilgrim, and Barbara Schuerman. Wood Work Club Take a hammer and some nails, a lathe, paint, shellac, plastic wood, planes, saws, and screws, mix them all up with some rather noisy but talented R.H.S. boys, and what have you got? Why, the Wood Work Club, of course. This is the recipe-I mean the club-which Mr. Treasure sponsored this year, and one fine club it was. These boys really found a way to make good use of their club time. During club periods they were able to make all sorts of articles for their homes. There were tables, book cases, cabinets, and stools made, and the fel- lows found the construction all the easier for the expert aid given by their sponsor. There were no officers in the club, for it was really just a general get-together of the interested boys. First Row Cleft to rightj - Rodenberg Patti, Brehm. Second Row - Burch, Valandingham Delucio.

Biology Club This club is for the students of R.H.S. who especially love the out-of-doors. CSounds like a grand one to belong to in the springj When the weather permits, the members take Held trips to learn more about nature. At other meetings they learn about living things from their sponsor, Miss Coulter. At Christmas time it was the Biology Club which helped in the making of the Christmas corsages. They also raised money to better the appearance of R.H.S. and to buy better equipment for their work. Lettermen's Club These enterprising young men gave one of the First dances of this year, the Reindeer Ball. But that is not the usual type of activity in which they participate Cas a matter of fact, they couldnlt afford toj. These fellows are our leaders in the held of athletics and so own R.H.S. letters.

Page Sevemy-zhrec I I i 5 I 1 Thespians Jr. Actors 'ba Bell Masque Thespians Quite a group of aspiring young actors and actresses, these. They had everything from soup to nuts, so to speak, in the plays they put on this year. Ulohn Doeu an experimental, Curse You, lack Dalton, a melodrama, The Divine Floraf, a comedy, and The Great Big Doorstepf, a character sketch. Of course, all that we, the audience, saw was the Hnished product but behind scenes were many who never were seen on stage and yet who had a great deal to do with the success or failure of the play. One of these persons was Mrs. Myrtle Shallenburg, their sponsor, Who was always ready to lend a helping hand at directing, prompting, set painting, or whatever. The oflicers of the club were Dale Weiss, Cynthia Olsen, and Barbara Keck. We only wish all the members could have had starring roles--they merited it. Page Seventy-fizfe Page Seventy-:ix PLAYS l. Legs and the beasts. Z. Dickina Olson and actors. 3. A bus load of beauty, brains and bilge. Junior Acior's Guild It was a splendid performance by the whole cast! The set was perfect. The casting was excellent. These were the expressions heard when a play presented by Iunior Actor's Guild had ended. What was behind all this praise? Hard work, long hours, good supervision, and a desire to be on the stage. Such is the work of the club which presented good plays like The Trysting Place and Mig- gles. Both of these plays were under the super- vision of Miss Loretta Grothaus, the clubys spon- sor. This club not only provided wholesome enter- tainment for the junior class but, in doing so, they received valuable training in every field of dra- matics. The members of this club will long re- member the fun they had producing their plays. Belle Masque Have you seen those people coming from McGuire shaking with laughter? UWhat hap- pened? Is there an hilarious art exhibitP'l NOP Then what is it? It was nothing save a Belle Masque comedy production with Dick Olson. The audience practically rolled in the aisles. Yes, that's what happened every time a group from the Belle Masque gave a performance. What is this Belle Masque, you ask. Well, it is the great tenth grade dramatic group. It is the foundation for all dramatics that follow in the Senior High School. ' Under the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Lucille Meacham, this group provided an enter- tainment of fine quality. They produced good plays such as Bellel' and '4Sure As You're Born. The Art Club produces its own models. Ioan Alkire and Mr. Campbell demonstrate a pose. An avid Art Clubber works on his project.

Stadleman, Miss Martha Clark Spanish Club 'lBuenos Dios and I-Iellof, A strange mixture of languages emerged from Miss Clark's room when she was sponsoring the Spanish Club this year. Dan Armstrong as president and Patty Sowers as program chairman worked hard to make the meetings interesting. They had speakers, learned about the Spanish language and about peoples who use it, and joined with the French Club for a Christmas party. French Club Right next door to the Spanish Club we found a group of young people busy speaking French. They even went so far as to work out crossword puzzles and play word games in that language. At Christmas they learned several French carols. At other meetings they heard recordings, and a French war bride came to tell them about her country. Mrs. Lynch was their hard-working sponsor, and the officers were Carol Belcher and Iustin Cummins. Romey.

The Concert Orchestra Small, but IOOW efficient, the Concert Orchestra of R.H.S. is an organiza- tion Worthy of praise. What this little group of instrumentalists can do is a constant source of amazement to their listeners. No small part of the credit goes to Mr. Melton for his untiring ef-fort and constant inspiration. In the spring and fall concerts the orchestra has proved to its audience that a small group can sound Well when every member does his part. From the haunting strains of Indian Nocturnew to the lively spirit of a Mexican Overturef' the group showed ample proof of its training and solid musicianship. Page Scuclzty-zzfm' The Concert Choir One of the best in the state, our Concert Choir is always striving for greater heights of perform- ance. Witli Mr. Ronald E. Melton, their most capable and congenial conductor, they spend many hours in practice. The results are evident to all who have heard the group sing. Their program is always varied, ranging from Handel's Hallelujah, Amenn and Schubert's Ave Maria,', to such works as Waring's Country Stylev and the South American favorite, Tico Ticof' Along with their hard work, the choir also has a lot of fun. The spring and fall concerts . . . caroling in the halls . . . singing for service clubs . . . performances at other schools . . . these all have their part in the Choir's well-rounded program. This is a never-to-be-forgotten group, both by students and singers.

These performances climaxed long periods of hard practice and drill under the skillful eye of Mr. Graham. Yes, the band of R.H.S. will long be remembered by all students and citizens of Richmond.

This is a familiar phrase heard during football and basketball season. During the long winter months the faithful servants of the sports fans are the hard working guys and gals who belong to Doc's crew. These workers don,t give up at the end of a bas- ketball season, they keep on the job to the very end serving all the county at tourney time. These kids are the unsung heros and heroines of the great winter sport season. Yell Leaders Without our cheer leaders we wouldn't have much of a cheering section. They deserve a lor of credit from us all. These three always managed to pick out our favorite yells at the games, and they made our pep assemblies really good. They need no introduction, for we know each one for something special: Sue Romey's pleasing voice, that magnetic smile of Dick Strahan, and, last but not least, Mert Dimplesw Wright.

These hard-working young ladies really didn't have much chance to show off this year, but those of us who overheard their practices know they will make grand Block members. Then, too, we heard them at one of our pep assemblies so most all of us had a chance to form our own opinions. These were GOOD. There are a great many more Pepsters than there are Block members, but the Pepsters worked with the same cooperation and spirit as Block. Welre all very proud of them. Marjorie King was the Pepster's president, and Miss Raisor and Mr. Campbell were their hard- working sponsors.

Block R Block RU rates high with the gals in R.H.S. and with all the rest of us, for that matter. The main point in their Work is cooperation. These girls Worked together to make us the best known block in the state. They spent long hours of singing and rehearsing cheers after school hours to make all their splendid performances come out well. We only saw the finished products, but it was all this Work that made Block what it was this year. The sponsors, Miss Iane Raisor and Mr. Campbell, worked together to help Block over the rough spots. Betty Fienning was president and Ianice Ozbun song leader. They, with the other ofhcers and the sponsors, planned all the performances. Letls give three big cheers for our Block NRM. Page Eighty-fizfr' Devils' Den What would the R.H.S. students do without the Den on Friday and Sat- urday nights? Whether we spend the entire evening there or just drop in for a coke after the show, we all are glad we have the Den. We should thank our lucky stars for the officers and for Mr. and Mrs. Conray, the spon- sors, who all worked hard to make our favorite hang-out fun for everyone. There were a great many unforgetahle happenings at the Den this year. The Fifth Anniversary party . . . New Year's Eve Qpicture at upper leftj . . . the elections . . . the dances after the games . . . the evenings we had free punch . . . the big Den Cleanup . . . and many more incidents. Of course, even when there are no special activities, there are always lots of kids at the Den-playing cards, dancing in the gym, or playing pool or ping pong. These last two seem to be general favorites, but there's always plenty of entertainment at the Den for everyone. Even the out-of-town gangs like to visit it. Yes, the hours we spent at the Den will long be remembered.

P-?-P fbmcea Everyone knows that the high- lights of R.H.S. are the dances. Iust stop and think what school would be like without these gala affairs. We don't give much thought to themg we just expect them to come along. We all know that weid be lost without them. Let's leaf back, and think for awhile of the dances that have meant so much to all of us. First of all let's talk about the Block RU Dance. Everyone had such a swell time square dancing. When the record stopped, we just kept right on. Shirley Keesling and Larry Smith certainly made a hit as Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner. Yep, that sure was a lot of fun. Then, all the girls look forward to the Y-Teen Dance. It's their big chance to ask that certain boy. All you hear for a couple of weeks are those famous words Uwho are you going to take.', We will all agree that this dance is worth while. The dance given by the Lettermen's Club was enjoyed by all. The Reindeer Ball will always be one of our favorites. To some of us it might have a special meaning Cas might each of these dancesj. The Sock Hopv proved to be a lot of fun for those in the Class of '50. No one can ever forget some of the socks that showed up. Prizes were given to Thespena Dallas and lim Cronin. We all looked towards the Queen of Hearts Dance and the excitement in not knowing who is Queen 'till the very last minute. Ianice Ozbun made a very pretty and impressive Queen. The Hi-Y had the honor of giving such a swell dance. The Iunior-Senior Prom is one of the important dances of the year. The juniors give the dance to the upper- classmen. The hard work always pays off when you see the fun everyone is having. Shirley Keesling was our lovely Queen. And that Commencement Dance-Wow! These are just a few of the dances that will always remain with us. Many of these dances of R.H.S. meant a first corsage, taking dancing lessons, a new formal, and maybe your first kiss from the boy you thought would be the only one . . . A Page Eighty-.veuefz .Queen 0 ageafzlld. A Porter P01't1't11t Our beautiful and very talented Queen of Hearts, Miss Ianice Ozbun, is a graduate of Dennis Iunior High School. She has lived in Richmond all her life. Ianice is Well-known in R.H.S. for many reasons. The chief one is that she is interested and active in so many things. She is president of the Y-Teen Cabinet and song leader for Block URN. Ianice is very popular among the R.H.S. students for her lovely voice and her pleasing personality. She is very interested in music, sings beautifully, and plays the organ and the piano. All these things explain Why We chose her as our Queen of Hearts. Page Eighty-eight IANICE OZBUN SHIRLEY KEESLING uniafz-Seniaa paam .Queen Photo by Lrzrry Phillips There probably is not a single person in R.H.S. who doesn't know the young lady who was crowned Queen of the Prorn, Miss Shirley Keesling. Shirley is a busy and gay little girl with a vivacious personality and plenty of zip. She is active in many clubs in R.H.S., such as Block HR and Thespians. We all know that if we want a job done Well and done quickly, we can depend on Shirley. Shirley was born in Muncie and plans to live in Richmond from now on. She attended Test Iunior High School before coming to R.H.St There's just one more thing about Shirley. Everyone teases her unrnercifully about her hair but she vvouldn't be Shirley if it were any other Way. Personality plus- that's our Prom Queen.

Louise Pilgrim, Cyn- thia Olsen and Ernie Olson edit these parts Of the book, respec- tively. I've forgotten the name Of the editor of the whole thing but he dOesn't do anything for the book anyway. I have been asked the follow- ing questions: When will the book come out? Will the Olsen- Ronald feud effect the book? and Will the Pierian be excel- lent?', These are good questions.

They missed winning the North Central Conference football crown by two points-a season opener loss at Frankfort 7-6, and a 13-12 loss at New Castle. Sandwiched between those two losses was a conquest of Anderson 6-O. The Broad Ripple Rockets defeated us 26-14 in one of the best games ever played on our field. The rain poured and the wind blew when Lafayette Ieilerson came down to see us. The half-time score read Lafayette 12, Richmond 0. But, that wasn't alll The Devils fought back and tied the champion Broncos 12-12. Muncie Centralls Bearcats had not been beaten in the Conference for 9 years! At least that was until memorable October 15, 1948. The first part of the game was more or less give and take, but Muncie managed to score at the end of the second quarter. The half ended 6-O in favor of the Bearcats. Then came the third quarter when the Devils scored on a pass from Huntsman to Williams. Cosby kicked the extra point and Richmond was ahead to stay. The final score 7-6. The big Tech of Indianapolis team hadnlt lost to Richmond but twice in 17 years of play, but our boys downed them 19-7 to finish fourth in the conference. Sacred Heart Q29-61 and Connersville Q32-65 both fell before our boys who hnished the season with 5 wins, one tie, and 3 losses.

The Red and White were on the wrong end of a 45-31 score. A powerful Gertsmeyer Tech of Terre Haute team came to Civic Hall and handed the Devils their second home floor loss in two years. The Bakermen were without the services of Mel Thompson. The New Castle Trojans upset the Red Devils by a one point margin in their next game, the gun ending the battle with a 48-47 score. Back to Richmond and back to victories came the Devils. The R.H.S. squad broke their three game losing streak by bumping off the Connersville Spartans 62-49.

After the holidays, R.H.S. traveled to Anderson where the Indians, rated first in the state, beat the Devils 44-39. Our next foe was Ft. Wayne Central at Ft. Wayne.

The Marion Giants then surprised us by beating the Devils 59-39 at the Marion gym. For the second time in the season, the Devils met New Castle, who later lost in the Semi-finals by two points.

Tech's Green Wave showed up the following Friday night and they also showed up with a 48-44 win after Richmond had led at the half 31-20.

Tech of Indianapolis 31 Wrestling Wrestling is a rather new sport as far as our high school is concerned, and deserves far greater popularity than it is getting. It offers a chance to many boys who cannot star in other sports, for wrestling is different from the others. Speaking of star, a boy named Roland Starr didn't lose a single match in his high school wrestling career. This year's wrestling team, however, was not so lucky, losing two each to Tech and Anderson, but next yearis outlook is brighter because of the many sophomore ngroanersv on the squad.

'glt sounds all rightn began the sports editor, but some- how I donit quite see-C' ' I nh Spofdfi The girls of R. H. S. are taking an active part in more and more sports every year. On the following page are listed the sports which the girls participated in the most, in '49. Page One Hundred Eight Volley ball ranks first on the list, and is the sport in which practically all the girls take part. All six gym classes participated in a tournament, which was su- pervised by Miss Raisor. Ruth I-Iolley's team from the second hour gym class, won all its games and came out the champions. Another sport in which many of the girls are active is Bowling. Ianet Phenis, team won the championship for ,49. Her team won 25 games and lost ll. Miss Stinson is the sponsor. Then we always have Hockey and Soccer, which are games played in the fall. Hockey is the more popular of the two. All the gym classes participate in this game, and many girls join the Hockey team, which generally plays after fifth hour on the soft- ball field. This year in Hockey, however ,... The game played most in the Spring, and during warm wea- ther is Softball. Tournaments are held in each of the gym classes, with all of the teams competing, until one team has beaten all the rest and becomes the champion. The girls have also been taking part in Ping Pong tourneys. This is the first time in several years that they have taken an active interest in this sport. A few side sports, which the girls take part in are: Shuffle- board, Ring Toss, Swimming, and Badminton. Page One Hzuzzired Nine Bal M nal' all ....

That's the trouble with this school-too much education. What this school does need is more yearbooks Qand a swimming pooll. There are a lot of new things in this yearbook and even more old ones. Speaking of old ones, I want to thank the faculty for giving us the free- dom imperitive to the production of a yearbook. I also wish to thank the student who didnlt ask me when the Pierian would be out, my staff that could work when it tried, Mr. Peacock, Mrs. Davenport, Mrs. Lane, Mr. Loewer, Mr. Hiatt, Mr. Veregge, Miss Sutton, and all those whose cooperation meant Pierian, ,49. About the staff, Mr. Peacock wanted 1 ' a small working staff, and I wanted a large, specialized one. We both got our wishes. I wish to apologize to Larry Phillips, who will always claim I took his best pictures and cut them down to nothing, to Miss Bass, for yelling at her, to my teachers for never doing any work, and also to a guy named Pope.
