In future years, as you turn the pages of this book, we hope you will be able to relive the year 1959-60. We, the staff of the '60 Totem, have at- tempted to recapture many memories of these events. Without the support of the students, the faculty, and the community of Ridgefarm High School District Number 221, we could not present this book-the record of our Senior year!

PEARL PARKE, PRINCIPAL For a person to be loyal, he must first be proud, proud of his country, community, school and himself. Since pride precedes loyalty, it behooves each of us to be the type of person of whom everyone can be proud. Conduct, dress, manners, and actions are sign-posts used by people as basis for judgment. 6 Service f erAonne( Mr. Jack Smitley, custodian Mrs. Dorothy Loop, cook Mr. Fred Ellis, custodian Mrs. Irene Pearson, cook Mrs. FIRST ROW: John Land, President; William Brown, George Martin.
