These classy shirts were so well liked that even some grade schoolers bought them. In addition to this money-maker the class had the usual concessions to help bolster the treasury in order to purchase the school gift and to help pay for caps and gowns.

The Junior Class of 1964 has spent the past three years doing research work to locate its whereabouts. As their research is proving to be rather lengthy and a bit discouraging, they had to turn to other methods to increase their bank account, some of which are: slave auction, candy sales, game concessions, pronto pup sales, chili feed, and Christmas swags. For some odd reason known as the junior-Senior Prom, the books” just don’t balance. In the Spring of 63’, they hit rock bottom. Now the Juniors must continue their everlasting search for the money tree. Tony Adevai Jay Ball Merle Blankenship Mary Bonn 10 Shelley Brown Keith Hanson Nancy Henry President Shelley Brown and Mary Bonn are discussing the possibility of selling Christmas swags to pull in more money. « 11 Charles Holland r� f 4 Kathy Linton ' Sue Loughridge James McMillion Byron Inman Carole Johnson Bob Lakin Pronto pup sales at noon were one of the ways the Junior Class brought in money. Mary Bonn, Pat Stoneking, and Mary Perry were on the cooking end of the project. David Nearing Gary Paetz Mary Perry 12 v Alice Powell Larry Ruckel Mike Rucker On the counting end of the project were: Carole Johnson, Kathy Linton, Mary Perry, and Margie Williams.

However, the Frosh have adjusted to the rigors of high school life without too much difficulty. Chosen to head class activities for the year were President Alvin Hendrick; Vice President Mike Brown; Secretary Sharylle Morrison; Treasurer Linda Breuer and Representative Ellen Parks. Some of their activities were a little home work, concessions at some ball games, joining various interest clubs in school, a slave auction as their big money-making project, taking a few books home occasionally and going out for sports. LET'S GET Superintendent of Schools, Kenneth A.

Looking over a few proposed changes are Mrs. M. Vaughn, Clerk; Mr. W. Markham, Chairman; Mr. E. Daniels; Mr. K. Stuart, Superintendent; Mr. F. Vedder; Mr. J. Bonn; and Mr. D. Holcomb. Mr. Donald E.

Resting on their mops and brooms, Ellen Parks, John Brown, Tom Roberts, and Bill Markham smile bravely as they attempt to clean-up after the Christmas Ball, one of the student council's events of the year. Many R.H.S. activities were planned and decided over sack lunches as the Student Council worked away on their master plans for student enjoyment.

SHAMROCK STAFF Keeping busy is no problem for the Shamrock staff. Here they are shown checking the progress of their various jobs. Meeting those deadlines is quite a task, but the staff has shown their competence by their willingness to work many overtime hours. You go, we go, everybody go go, come on Irish, go go! ' This catching chant was typical of the school spirit and support given by the pep club with president Rosey Young. This year the club bought green tarns and wore white blouses for uniforms and looked sharp at the games. PEP Hold That Tiger, ' “Mickey Mouse March, Rockum, Rollem,' and Bleacher Boogie ’ are a few of the songs that resounded off the gym wall during basketball season as the pep band provided spirited entertainment.

CHEER Yell Queen Joyce Jordan and Darlene Picklesimer attended cheerleading school in Corvallis and returned full of new ideas .A motion for every word and the stiff and straight movements were worked into new yells and routines.

There were rows of reeds sprung up like weed, there were horns of every shape and kind. Our band may not have had 76 trombones, 110 cornets, and rows of reeds, but to us they sounded great. A few of the much enjoyed selections played this year were: Coat of Arms March, The First Suite in 'E Flat, and a fun filled show of Vaudeville at Its Worst. The Honor Society like other clubs has had to fight their way out of debt; they sold cakes, concessions, and served at the U.V.L. banquet. The highlight of the year was the initiating of five new members. The clubs’ officers are Carolyn McCoy, President; Joyce Jordan, Vice President; Mary Bonn, Secretary-Treasurer; and Shelley Brown, Publicity. 45 Dick Booth spun platters and made with the chatter to carry the Irish, Far Across the Irish Sea. This year was the first Homecoming dance without a live band. Far across the Irish Sea Skirts and sweaters and slacks and sweaters were the attire rather than the usual semi-formal wear.

That’s how it was for the Senior Class who spent an afternoon hanging bulbs and tinsel. Much advice was given to the proper branch for each bulb, with the end result being a very decorated tree. 1962 'The Dance of the Elves,” a magnificent routine directed by Miss Holm proved to be both delighting and hilarious to everyone but the Freshmen. The second annual Christmas Ball was thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended. Entering through a huge wreath the couples looked out to see a Santa Claus tree and and fireplace. Live music added to the romance of the evening for L. Ruckel, K. Robbins, S. Morrison and M. Brown. Holding to the tradition of Freshmen clean-up the class pitched in and made quick work of dishes and leftovers. Once again stick-all rubber cement bring you another famous drama entitled, One Day in the Life of the Shamrock Staff. ' The actors in this scene are Debby Roberts, Shelly Brown, Sara Preston, and Nancy Henry. As Tom Roberts sinks one, Gary Paetz struts by, getting in shape for a fifty mile hike, with great vigor. But to every drama there must be a Heroine, and Miss Holm, alies Michael Nelson, swims her way through to save the day. Concentration is our motto, says Lynn Coleman, and Joe Ford as they watch the G.A.A. intrmurals during activity period. UNION SERVICE Riddle, Oregon MID-OREGON PRINTING CO.
