SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY After graduating from R. H. S. in 1949, I became famous as a woman engineer, I now own the largest railway line in the world. Thinking of my good fortune I wondered how my classmates were getting along. For this is 1959, ten years since we left dear old Riddle High together. The headlines of the paper caught my eye. John L. Lewis has died and a woman is taking his place. Why it’s Eileen Hammersley, one of my classmates, she always was a good boss. Who should be ushered into my library but Gladys Rupp) I hadn't heard from her since she became a missionary and traveled to many foreign countries. Her latest trip was to Africa. Together we took a trip to the heart of New York City and who should we meet but Richard Ritzman. He has become a famous clothes designer and owns a large department store. Rich told us this about our graduating class of '49. Laurel Zumwalt is a celebrated movie star and is noted as the best actress on the screen. She has starred in many of the latest hits. James Townsend has taken championship as the world's greatest wrestler. He has made millions and is soon going to retire. Jennie Howard has become very successful in the business world for she is now the personal secretary of the President of the United States. Jennie always did go in for the big business. Don Riddle, this I should have guessed, is a very well known comedian. He is now starring in a picture called ''Life With Riddle”. He, also, has many radio programs. Alice Schneider owns an art studio in the heart of Manhattan, and her work is known throughout the world. Besides excelling in paintings of scenery and the high lights of the world, she is, also, a great portrait painter. Jack Carter is now the sole owner of the manufacturing of Carters Little Liver Pills. He inherited the business, and since owning it he has improved it greatly. You can buy the pills in any size, color, or quantity. Clarice Burgoyne is running for the governor of Oregon. Oregon will have its first lady governor as the latest news of the election was that she will win by a landslide. Eugene Swanson is a professor at the University of Washington and is known for his lectures and books on the up-to-date Chemistry. With this good news I leave the thoughts of my classmates. Knowing they have made a successful life for themselves during the ten years that have elasped since we parted from school. Now I must get back to my mansion on Long Beach. 10 Marjorie Boyd

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President..................Gene Buckley Vice-President.............Ardeth Aikins Secretary................Priscilla Pruner Class Advisor .... Mr. Donald Brown Colors.....................Pink and White Flower..........................Carnation Motto. . .Experience is the best teacher. In 1946, twenty-two green Freshmen started their struggle toward the top. After three days of initation by the upper classmen we were a part of the high school student body. Some of our boys and girls took part in activities such as volleyball, basketball, and softball. At the start of our Sophomore year we had fourteen classmates. All of the new pupils who were here have moved away. Those who participated in athletics were Ardeth Aikins, Evelyn Bates, Doris Gilbreath, Wyatt Hendricks, and Ken Haverly. At the close of the year we were looking forward to being considered as upper classmen. Here we are in our Junior year. We are now upper classmen and take our positions more seriously. The new pupils who joined us in our Junior year are: Daris Reynolds, coming from Texas; Rosie Arena, from California; Gene Buckley, from Oakland; and Harry Bushnell, from Days Creek. Again we are proud of our athletic achievement. Doris Gilbreath, Ardeth Aikins, and Velma Harper were on the volleyball team. Wyatt Hendrick and Ken Haverly were on the first string basketball team, while Don Zifka, Kenny Gallagher, and Gene Buckley were subs. Wyatt Hendrick, Ken Haverly, and Gene Buckley were on the football first team while Kep Gallagher and Don Zifka were substitutes. Here Come Charlie was the play given by our class this year. Ten of the students participated in the play, and it was a success. This year’s candidate for carnival queen was Priscilla Pruner, and her escort was Don Zifka. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held on the evening of May 6, at the Guild Hall. A very delicious banquet was served by some of the ladies of the Eastern Star. After that, dancing was the main entertainment of the evening. The evening proved to be one of the highlights of the year. We are now looking forward to becoming the high and mighty.Seniors of 50. 12
