Slowly but surely the building be- gan to show its modem, low-cut design. Spring is here and the construction begins to pick up greater momen- tum. The approach to the building seems to say Come young America, and I will help broaden your knowledge. Soon the voices of youth will be ringing through this room: And here they come!

The class of 63 is coming closer to the day when they will be required to take an energetic and responsible role as citizens of the United States of America. As of now they are looking forward to their future money making projects of selling candy, the annual, and having their school dance. They are also thinking about the Senior trip which will be a grand finale to the most active four years of their lives. Also, it is the year that the Juniors treat the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet. This always is an occasion that stands out in the minds of Seniors as one of their dearest memories.

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES The Juniors are planning for the future, not only curriculum wise, but also by working together in class projects. One of the projects the Junior Class sponsored was the magazine sale. The class split into different competitive teams. This spurred magazine sales over their goal of $1,400. The Juniors made quite a splash in the gym with their Halloween Dance. Refreshments were served for those with a big hunger. The Juniors were elated about receiving their class symbols, rings and jackets. Junior talk consisted mainly of who ' s wearing who ' s ring or jacket for a week after their arrival. Projects coming up for the Junior class consist of the Junior- Senior Banquet, and Senior Trip. 21 George Abel Steve Bennett Allen Amstutz Florence Bice E.

The Winner- - N.. ; % Miss Jean Patton Betty Dilley and Jeanie Stark G R T A T E Lenare Jolly and Teny Doub were chosen to be Riverdale ' s repre- sentatives to Girls ' and Boys ' State. The lucky boy and girl were taken down to the Indiana University campus to meet with other representatives from the entire State. Then the program of teaching them State and governmental functions began. For six days they studied and had fun with hundreds of other boys and girls. Finally the time came for them to leave. With misty eyes they waved a final farewell to some truly wonderful American citizens. They carried home with them a better understanding of how th eir State and National Governments are run, along with a deeper pride for the country in which they live.

Each period a Beta member forfeits his study hall to act as the librarian. The members are to promote and be good examples of character, achievement and good scholastic averages. In October the club took in eight new mem- bers. Some of the members attended the National Convention at Indianapolis in November. The sponsor of the Beta Club is Mrs. Campbell. ROW I. S. Lake, M.

All three clubs were under the leadership of Mrs. Huddleston with the help of adult advisors from each club. The advisors were; Mrs. Kruse and Mrs. Smith for the Peppy Gals; Mrs. Fields, Mrs. Grussing and Mrs. Platter for the Country Cousins; Mrs. Kagey and Mrs. Coburn for the Workers Not Shirkers. Projects undertaken were; foods, clothing, home improve- ment, crafts, photography and food preservation. Each club also had a community project besides their regular projects.

The Pep Club can pat itself on the back for the spirit it displayed while backing our team at the Hamilton Invitational Tourney . It set a pace for the rest of the schools to follow. The whole school was commended for their big mou-sounds. The entire Pep Club is working together to obtain jackets for the Sectional Tourney. The Pep Club has a deep desire to polish its buttons and dig in for a great season. 72 % Only small fry dance now. Who ' s Good boy is he? A little lower, Darrell !
