Exit the Seniors Once again that slow moving line of grey caps and gowns moves up the aisle. This time it is truly we. With sad hearts but with a feeling of wisdom we realize that one chapter of our life, perhaps the most care-free and happy-go-lucky, is closed. These four years have nurtured our minds into maturity, and it is with a lsmile that we look back to see ourselves as freshmen grouped in that room of Wording Hall. Striwing to please and be noticed we con- tributed a goodly number to the athletic program. Our class president Bob Hender- son showed even then the fight and spirit on the football field which was to grow more and more through the succeeding years to give him the title of Captain. James Hayes took an interest in tennis while Evelyn Smith, Dorothy Flynt, Louise Lowery, Margaret Brindley and Gloria Hartt turned eagerly toward basketball. Evelyn and Margaret received well-earned R's for their efforts. Wilber Mclntire did thrings on the half mile in track. Don Adams, Frank Steeves, and Arnold Miller also showed promise. Remember our first speaking contest! Freda Moran and James Hayes were a- warded first prize: Bob Goode received second, and Marcella Stitham and Gloria Hartt tied for girls. Then the next fall we discarded our greenness and donned the title of jolly sophomores, one step nearer to our goal. We certainly missed Margaret Brindley and a few others, who did not come back. From Mars Hlill came Milton .Adelman to carry top honors in the speaking contest. James dropped back to second place, and Marcella stepped up to first place. Freda tied for second wth Gloria. Milton repre- sented the school at the U. of Maine Speaking Contest and the Montgomery 'Contest at Colby. 'This was a great honor for him. Gloria went to the Lydia Spear Contest held at Lincoln We did not lack musical talent for many of the girls and boys received their R's for Glee Club, Orchestra, and Windjammers. 'Once again Henderson received an R in football, and Evelyn her R rin basketball. We shouldn't. forget that our trio came into existance this year, also. Yes, we were certainly represented in the school. Our junior year found us marching steadily onward seeking new adventures and gains. Henderson was elected presi- dent, a post which he held for the second time and was to hold once more in the fu- ture. Bob, Evelyn, Gloria, Dot, Jim, and Bob Clarke received athletic R's. Clark, a former Sherman star, piled up the score on the wonderful secondary varsity bas- ketball team. Milton received top honors again in the speaking contest and went to the Montgomery Contest at Colby. Bob placed second. Once more the girls places were juggled around, giving Gloria first, and a tie between Freda and Marcella. The contest at Maine found Freda and Marcella there doing an excellent job representing R. C. I. Once more Gloria participated in the Lydia Spear Contest. The Rlifle Club should not go unmentioned for Bob Goode and Frances Robinson were two sharpshooters from our class: Fran had the highest score in the club. Thus our junior year passed. Now We come back to the present. Seniors are we! The end of our journey has come and we are termed dignified. t?l Kerwnin, Hayes, Clark, Watson, and Adel- man, received basketball R's. Captain Hen- derson won his well-deserved football R, along with Hayes. We're proud of our President and Captain! Jim is also a prom- ising candidate for first singles in tennis and Evelyn is right in there fighting also. Louise, Shirley, Evelyn, Gloria, and Jean Pressley, a new lassiie from Haynesville, were awarded R's for basketball. The mu- sic 'R's can be seen among many class members. Now the time for parting has come. We have left our imprint in R. C. I. and will carry its traditions with us always. No matter how far we may roam the purple and gray will act as an incentive to do higher things and maintain our ideals established here. Class Prophecy The scene of this little epistle opens in New York City in the year 1950 on a warm spring evening. As we drive up Broadway in an open air taxi we see several people who graduated with us from Ricker away back in 1942. First we glimpse Pat Swett leaving 2'1 . It is rumored that she is now a smart member of Cafe Society. With her is Norma. Lothrop, also a woman-about town. Right behind them is Lawrence Watson, a very brilliant chemist, and Jimmy Hayes, who although he has done some very serious writing, still likes his excitement. The next day, as we tour about the city we find Louise Walsh working as a sten- ographer and Freda Moran as a high paid beautician in an exclusive salon. We also meet another old classmate who is making
