Kennedy, secretary. 7fze Seniaad 1948 l 1944-45 When the class of '48 entered high school, the world was still in- volved in a long and tragic struggle, but the end was in sight. How we cheered on V-E dayl Gas was rationed, though as freshmen we almost always walked to dances, anyway. With Dale Allison as president, we became veterans of lite at R-B. School spirit was at an all-time high with our wonder-team, the famed Skyscrapers 1945-46 As sophomores, one of our class, Joe Skilondz, became pep club president. The war was over, and though meat was still rationed land hard to getll, the U.S. and R-B were slowly getting back to normal. Bob Hamer led the class, which was the largest in the school, with Herb Tomlinson, Gloria Faze- kas, and Paul Clevenger as helpers. 1946-47 Under the direction of .lack Meyerhoff, .lim Schreiber, Joan Las- celle, and Gloria Fazekas we presented the junior-senior prom at the Medinah Country Club. The junior play, A Little Bit of Honey was directed by Mr. Sanders with great success. As upper-classmen, we recognized and accepted our responsibilities as leaders in the school. 1947-48 Seniors at lastl The senior year went at breath-taking speed. Jim Kennedy served as president' with Gloria Fazekas, Bob Sproul, and Dolores Kennedy. This year, we presented The R-B Follies of 1948 as our first super talent show. The senior play was thrilling to us all. The last mile was in sight, and though we hated to leave our friends at R-B, we were ready to meet life on our own.
