E Branson, Secretaryg G. Colgrass, Presidentg J. Scott, Vice-Presidentg SENIOR 1940-1941 Defying tradition, Mr. Roosevelt accepted a third term . . . London was smouldering . . . Selective Service began the depletion of our manpower . . . the Lend Lease program was thrown into high gear . . . and we began making our own history as freshmen. Could we ever forget our first year . . . the newness of high school, inquisitive glances from upper classmen, and misinformation about the elevator to the third floor. We entered shyly 'but prou-dly into student activities, joining all the clubs we could, and sending our representatives to the Student Council. To guide us through our first year, we elected Leslie Peterson as our Presidentg John Molitor, Vice-President, Jean Trinko, Secretary, and Charles Ioas, Treasurer. 194l-1942 Japan attacked Pear-lHar1bor . . . Bataan and Corregidor fell . . . American manufac- turers faced the task of wartime production ...tires, sugar, and gasoline were rationed to civilians. ..and people began to realize what total war meant as we began our second year in R-B. We commenced the year with confidence and a feeling that we were a working part in the school machinery. The shyness of our first year gone, we began to take a more prominent place in school af- fairs, and really went over the top in R-B's magazine drive. For our class officers we chose Russell Hornbaker, President, Larry Keou-ghan, Vice-Presidentg Sandra Wilson, Secretary, and Beverley Crowe,. Treasurer. 1942-1943 The invasion of North Africa . . . Guadal- canal fell to the Marines . . . El Alamain marked the turning point of the African campaign . . . the Casablanca conference laid plans for Allied war strategy . . . and we assumed the coveted role of upper-classmen. As Juniors, we set the pace for the entire student body with record-breaking magazine sales. Our dramatic talent was displayed for two successful evenings in our class play Footloose With fun-ds from these two endeavors, we financed our highly successful J unior-.Senior Mixer and Prom. It was during this year that make-up sheets made their initial appearance. Our officers elect were Leslie Peterson, President, lShirley Drazil, Vice-President, Sandra Wilson, Secretary, and Eugene Kavanaugh, Treasurer. 1943-1944 Allied forces invaded Italy . . .the air war on Germany increased in intensity . . . strikes threatened our production schedules . . .the Cairo and Teheran conferences made world history . . . and at last amid this conflict we are seniors. Our last year at R-B hurries by, highlighted by the opening of our new athletic field, school dances, the senior play, and finally commencement. To lead us in our final year we picked Gloria Colgrass, Presidentg Joe Scott, Vice-President, Elsie Franson, Secretary, and Norma Har-dt, Treasurer. Now we look back with deep affection and see four hap-py years of work and play. We are prepared to make for ourselves a place in this world. We can and we will. SENIOR OFFICERS N.
