Three J £ J.ication We, the Annual Staff, of 1954, respectfully dedicate this book to our well-deserving faculty adviser, Mr. Kenneth Wilson. For two years, his sincere interest in the publication of the SHAMROCK has been one of the chief reasons for the improvement of the book. Mr. Wilson has worked hard as adviser for the present Senior Class for the last three years. His six years of teaching in Riddle High school have been marked by high admiration from the students.

All our hopes and aspirations were somewhat dimnea when we were put through the paces by the sophomores. Our officers were James Loper, president; Dan Cowley, vice-president; Connie Cyphert, secretary; and Sharon Buckley, treasurer. We cnose as our class motto, “Be Ine Best of Whatever You Are. Our colors were scarlet and silver, and our class flower was the white carnation. Mr. Wilson was class adviser and has remained with us all four years. In our sophomore year we had the honor of initiating the “frosh.” Our sophomore class participated in many school activities. Sheri Leatherwood, sophomore princess, was runner-up for Carnival Queen. Sheri was elected cheer leader and Connie Cyphert was elected song leader. The sophomore class presented the only class play given in the 51-52 school year. The class officers for cur second year were Glen Davidson, president; Ray Rhodes, vice-president; Connie Cyphert, secretary-treasurer. As Juniors many of our boys were active in athletics. We put on a class play entitled “Three Fingers in the Door.” During the first cf the school-year we purchased our class rings. Connie Cyphert was elected student body secretary. Sissy Carter was elected cheer leader. As upper-classmen, we gave the annual Junior-Senior Ban-quent and Prom, using the theme “April in Paris.” Our class oficers were Dan Cowley, president; Charles Weakley, vice-president; Darrellene Carter, secretary-treasurer; and Gary Garren, sergeant-at-arms. As high and mighty seniors we elected Neva Weathers and Ed Brown as our candidates for the Homecoming Dance. Connie Cyphert was elected student tody president. Our class presented a three-act comedy “Cornin’ Round The Mountain.” Our Senior class officers were Albert Broughton, president; Don Strode, vice-president; June Fairchild, secretary; Neva Weathers, treasurer; and Charles Weakley, sergeant-at-arms.

Indies and Gentlemen! This is Halter Hinchell bringing you the latest report of the news that’s news today, 1960. First let’s look at the seniors who graduated from Riddle High School in 1954. Norman Aikins has taken over his dad’s ranch and extended it the entire length of Cow Creek Valley. His speciality is raising Brahma bulls. James Klope has become the most famous trapper of all times. He just returned from the Artie with 150 different types of furs. June Fairchild is busy in East Africa doing missionary work. In her spare time she has been thinking up new ideas on how to make better advertising posters. Albert Broughton saved enough money in his senior year and bought Vedder’s Market. Since then he has remodeled it and extended it so it now covers a full block. Eddie Biown has recently taken Joe E. Brown’s place on Broadway. He received the Oscar for best supporting actor of 1960. Connie Cyphert has gone to the University of Oregon for six years now and, this being her senior year, is Student Body president. Jim Loper is now sole owner of a leading dance band. The public know-s him as the “Swing and Sway Band Boy. Ray Rhodes was All-American in ’58 and is now' head coach at Yale. By the way — he now towers 6’6”. Sharon Buckley graduated from SOCE in ’58. However, she remained a faithful alumnus as she is head of the English Department there. As we look into the muscle department, we see that Charles Weakley was Mr. America in ’59. We always did think he had a good physique. Robert Harrell now owns Harrell’s Club in Reno. Bob has passed A1 Capone’s record by making tw’o million dollars a day. Since Neva Weathers graduated in ’51, she discovered a talent to w rite. She has surpassed all previous records of book sales writh her latest, “How to Catch a Man and Keep Him.” Don Strode and Gary Garren are now' Oregon’s State game commissioners. They w'ere behind a new' law stating that all high school boys may be excused from school to hunt or fish.” Darrellene Carter is now teaching music at Julliard. She is scheduled to give a concert at Carnegie Hall in the spring. Don Weathers has recently returned from Korea with the flying honors of downing six Russian “migs.” Jo Ann Custis, or “Miss Los Angeles,” is considered to be the most sophisticated woman in L.A. Her chauffeur, by the w'a.v, is Marvin Merson, the highest paid chauffeur in the United States. Dan Cowley or “Buck Private Dan” received word from his commanding officer he is to be promoted to private first class after 6 years of faithful service in the Marines. Beverly Dort w'as the smart one all right. She stayed in Riddle and married the owner of Hanna, and at the present is living in a $50,000 home. She didn’t need that shorthand after all. Mr. Timothy Cox has made his fame and fortune at 20th Century Fox. He is head make-up man there. Is that Betty behind him? Pat Krantz, who was engaged the latter part of her Senior year, is now married and has the fame of being the mother of quadruplets. And that’s the latest news. Remember Folks, tune in next year, same time, same station and listen to Halter Hinchell and the newscast. Subject: Seniors of ’55. Good night! Twenty £eniox (2[an ( I ViLL We, the class of ’54 being of reasonably sound mind and ability, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the Junior Class we will our worn out books, our great dramatic ability, and our position as high and mighty seniors.

I, Marvin Mershon, will my height to Richard Waddle and my grin to Miss Carroll. I, Tim Cox, will my continental sophistication to anybody who wants to be sophisticated. I, Pat Krantz, will my short, blond, and naturally curly hair to Eileen Shepherd, and my Buick convertible which I always brought to school to Shirley Krantz. I, Norman Aikens, will my ability to “sail my ship alone” to all Riddle redheads and my soft whiskers to anyone who wants them. I, Dan Cowley, will my good looks, girl friends, and my ability to play football to Kenny Paetz. 1, June Fairchild, will my art ability to Joan Mitchell and my good grades to Scott Woole.v. I, Don Weathers, will my ability to play baseball to Ed Morrison and my willowy shape to Calvin Metcalf. 1, Beverly Dort, will my ability to set up in volleyball to Carolyn Jordon and my devotion to Joe Di Maggio to Gail Ausmus, otherwise known as Marilyn Monroe. I, Gary Garren, will my ability for not paying attention in Mr. Wilson’s English class to Dennis Vaugh and my whiskers to Jim Custis. I, Jo-Ann Custis will my ability to get along with Mrs. McGee to Waylis Havron, and my technique in skipping school to Eugene Mellis. I, Robert Harrell, will my ability to play hookey to Stan Long and my crooked nose to Nancy Myers. I, Neva Weathers, will my drawi to Shirley Zimmerman, and all my romances to Olive Carroll.
