2-12 officers Muriel Creason, Bill Doyle, Betty McRacken, cooperate on candy. SENIOR ACTIVITIES The fall term of ’42 opened with the election of Bill Doyle to the presi- dency of the Senior Class. He was assisted by Muriel Creason, vice-president, and Betty McRacken, secretary-treasurer. These officers guided the class through an active term in spite of the victory programs and other interruptions due to the war effort. The Seniors had their night party November 6 in the gym. This “get io- gether” was sponsored by the P.-T. A. The chairman of the affair was Paul Lyon, who was repaid for his efforts in managing the party because it was a gala affair, with all “the gang” present. Mary Smith added her artistic iouch and turned the gym into a bright ballroom by using a patriotic theme, with a color scheme of red, white, and blue. Among our graduating seniors there are some of the Varsity football team, who will be missing next season. They are Bill Doyle, Ed Muren, Johnny Smrekar, Bob Miner, Ross Radick, George Williams, Bob Hamilton, and James Mitchell. The final day is almost here for the Seniors to bid adieu to dear old R. U. H. S. Whatever they do after their graduation, we wish them all the luck and success possible in the years to come.

SENIOR Day — Betty McRacken, June Simpson, Patsy Conn in the prologue of the Senior Play. SEN POR PAY With these lines, ““We have no theme for the Senior Day Play,” the “class of 43” launched a play that, contrary to its opening lines, proved to be quite enjoyable. The leading characters were, Ken Dennis, the guide, Herbie Williams, and Inez Tognetti as announcers, Jack Rushmer as the technician. Paul Lyon, Derry Lee Waldrop, Kathryn Swearingen, Delmar Stack, Claire Esola, Pat Conn, and Muriel Creason made up the various members of the radio audience. There was a large supporting cast, some of whom were Ken Donaldson, Bob Blake, Wendell Gurley, Jim Geil, Doug Ellison, Richard Welch, Mary Belle Jacobs, Don Frost. The play was a “take off” on Radio City. In it were portrayed many popular radio programs, such as “Truth and Consequences,” “Jack Benny,” “News Reports,” and many others.
