It was built in 1928 and is one of the most up-to-date high schools in the district. Gas, running water, and elec- tricity make the school modern in every respect. Housed in this brick structure is a fine audi- torium-gymnasium. The laboratories in the in- dustrial arts, science, commercial, and home economics departments are all well equipped. The rooms all have hardwood floors and are steam heated and well lighted. The senior class has enjoyed the use of this building and knows that many more students will avail themselves of the facilities offered at Riverton High.

We owe a great deal to these three splendid school men. We seldom see them here in school, but we know that they are deeply interested in the school and all of its problems. They spend much of their valuable time as a board looking after the finances and other business details of the school. The board has always strongly sup- ported us in our Various school activities. The board has a well equipped office where they meet regularly for the transaction of school business. The good name of our school and the success of our school are linked with our fine school board. Vv'e, the seniors of 1940, deem it fitting and proper to give them an honored place in the ELECTRON. Page l'iHLlI'lL'L'V7 1.- IRA IZ. Wlfl,KliR l'h.B..

E believe young people should grow and develop physically, intellectually and spiritually.iWe believe that self-activity and personal experience are essential. We believe in the essential goodness, the potential power, and the great possibilities of youth. We believe that the boy or girl is greater than subject matter, theories, methods, and philosophies. We believe the school should gear its entire program to meet the needs of youth. The school environment-its organization, admini- stration and every phase of the school life should be such that the threefold individual can experience progress and development. We believe the student must do the learning himself, through his own efforts and activities. We believe that education is a continuous process from the begin- ning to the end of life and that it goes on outside of school walls as well as within schoolrooms. We believe that knowledge is fundamental. Facts-worthwhile facts- fknowledgej cannot be overlooked or discounted. We believe that knowledge is most worthwhile which helps one to live to the fullest today. Education is much more than learning. It is living. We believe that the best preparation for life is participation in life. We believe skills, habits. and attitudes constitute the greater part of one's education. We believe in the value of good literature and in the forming of good library habits. We believe that art, music and the various school activities should make large contributions to the social and recreational life of students. We firmly believe in the democratic way of life. We confirm our faith in American institutions and we believe the school should lead youth to respect and appreciate their heritage, realizing that no human institutions are perfect. Our way and our system present many problems that yet wait for better solutions. These problems constantly serve as challenges to thoughtful youth. We believe youth should be taught and drilled in the scientific method and approach in dealing with problems and situations. They should be so trained that they can meet the quack, the false advertisements, propaganda, and countless other influences that will prey upon them-see the cunning-the deception and conduct themselves as good Americans. We believe in that education which will help us make the worthwhile choices and prepare us for the happy useful life.

They are responsible for keep- ing our school buildings and grounds looking so Well. We thank them for our neat and attractive school. The appearance of our school has made a profound impression upon every student. Our custodians do a thousand and one things every day that make our school life a little happier. They have shown an interest in all of our sports and activities. They never complain or grumble when asked to make an extra bus trip or to perform some extra service. May they forget the Worries we may have caused them and kindly remember us as old friends-good friends-true friends. , . f, 'sr f' Good buses-big buses-the best of buses. No school can boast of better transporta- tion than is provided for the students of R. H. S, Never an accident: never a worry. On time all the time-up-to-date and never late. They will take you there and bring you back. This is absolutely a proven fact.

During our first year of study, we chose George Callis to direct our activities and he was ably assisted by the fol- lowing officers: Barbara Dardenne, president: Susie Stone, vice-president: Lola Mae McClure, xi! ' fa ve. , is G, if Nfl? secretary-treasurer. Our interests in the activities of the school were varied, but our outstanding achievement was our class play, A Scream in the Dark. As sophomores we had entered the second year of our career with new hopes and new aims. To guide us through this year, we chose Miss Stairrett and Mr. Barnes with the following helpers: Bob Lowther, president: Jim Wooten, vice-president: Lola Mae McClure, secretary: Virginia Byrd, treasurer. Many were the activi- ties in music and sports in which we participated quite successfully. Cyclone Sally, our class play, was one of the outstanding dramatic events of the year. The third year of our career opened with greater requirements and more duties challenging us: scholarships, music, sports, our junior-senior banquet, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and our class play, Mama's Baby Boy, We were more capable of accomplishing the tasks before us as we had become more skilled in knowledge, and with the assistance of our guides, Miss Stair- rett and Mr. Rankin, who were ably assisted by the following officers: Barbara Dardenne, president: Jim Wooten, vice-presidentg Irene Oliver, secretary-treasurer. Our fourth year was the crowning point of our high school career which we hope will lead us to even a better and bigger career in our future life. Miss Stairrett and Mr. Rankin still served as guides with the ever helpful co-workers: Bob Blake, president: Ellen Haner, vice-president: Irene Oliver, secretary: Bill Christy, treasurer. Irene Oliver was given three honors, coal queen, football queen, and cheer leader for the school. Virginia Byrd and Bob Lowther were selected as king and queen of the Electron. The class play, Three Days of,Gracie, was our final dramatic production. As a fitting climax, we received our diplomas on May 16, 1940. and were ready to take the next step in our careers.

' ' KB On September 6th the upper classmen in- EJ Q formed us that to become students of the River- I , K ton High School we must take an examination X L which we passed to their satisfaction. They . , awarded by entertaining us and serving the en- tire school to delicious ice-cold watermelon. ki D From our forty-eight members we were supplied -- with talent for the many activities. Our class play A Case of Suspension, enabled us to dis- play some of our talents. Reba Winfrey was our class queen. We passed our final examinations and left to return the following September. Starting our second year with Roy Derfelt as president, Ruth Blanchard as vice-president, Mildred Gibson as secretary and treasurer, and Mrs. Rankin and Mr. Laughlin as sponsors, we started forth to gain new goals. An all-class party was held at Dardenne's swimming pool honoring the new students. Members of our class. represented us in all the circular activities of the school life and several made the Mo-Kan League all-star teams. We presented Crashing Society as our class ,play January 26, 1939. After enjoying a very successful year we passed our examinations and were ready to return the following school year. We started our junior year with Ruth Blanchard as president, Walter Barnett as vice-president, William Cairns as secretary, Doris Davis as treasurer, and Miss Board and Mr. Chaney as sponsors. Miss Havens later replaced Miss Board. Seven of our members represented our class on the football team. Clyde Bond, Barney Barnett, William Cairns, and Charles Sandford were on the lirst team basketball. Clyde Bond received the honor of the year by being placed on the Mo-Kan League all-star team. Clifford Baysinger and Glenn Hardy were on the second team and also were on the all-star second team of the Mo-Kan League this year. Ruth Blanchard, Kathleen Lee, and Mable Brooner were on the volley ball team. Ruth and Kathleen made the Mo-Kan League all-star team. Our girls' volley ball team won the inter-class tournament held during the noon hour. Fred Carnahan and Virginia Young were chosen for the class prince and princess. Some of our scholastic ability was shown in our class play Aunt Cindy Cleans Up which was presented in the high school auditorium. Several of our members represented the school in the scholarship contest at Pittsburg. In the course of the year, we enjoyed several parties and climaxed the year by giving a banquet in honor of the seniors. We will return in the fall to complete our schooling in Riverton High School.

I want to take you back to their freshman year in Riverton High School. V .' Sept. 5 Seventy-nine freshman took out four credits .X 4 each as their admission to R. H. S. f Sept. 6. I witnessed their nrst class meeting in which 'gl Miss Oliver was chosen as their sponsor. Then they .Lp Q undertook the task of choosing capable and reliable officers. 1 They did a good job of this, choosing Bob Dean as president: Earl Crane. vice-president: and Mary Louise j Williams. secretary. Nov. 9. I had a very enjoyable evening at the fresh- man class plays. Two plays were presented. one of which was a IWO-act play called The Mysterious Visitors in Gold Gulch. and a one-act play entitled Orvil1e's Big Date. Dec. ll. Mary Louise Williams was chosen to be their Electron queen candidate and she won second place. Many parties and outings were given and all were well attended and enjoyed. On Sept. 4, 1939, sixty-tive sophomores were reported back for another year of hard and earnest Work in order to add four more credits to their list. Sept. 6. Today, I visited their class meeting and I was very much pleased when they elected Jimmy Oliver, president: A. J. Hutchings, vice-president: and Marie Paradee. secretary. They again chose Miss Oliver, a very capable sponsor. Sept. 11. On this sunny afternoon the entire student body was dismissed to watch the fresh- man initiation. The sophomores enjoyed this very much for they were remembering the time when they were initiated. Sept. 21. I attended a sophomore hamburger fry at Schermerhorn Park in Galena this even- ing and I had a most enjoyable time. Sept. 26. It was the duty of the sophomores to elect two members for the Booster Club today and they did so by choosing Mary Williams and Leila Fribley. I have taken a great deal of interest in the sophomore class and I Gnd that they have placed eleven members in the drum corps. one member on the football team, and four members on the B team in basketball. Oct. 27. A hallowe'en masquerade was given at the club house and all present enjoyed them- selves. Nov. 1. The play cast was chosen and intensive practice has begun. This year's play is entitled Pigtails. Nov. 23. Jack Callaway went to Arcadia to enter the oratorical contest and we were all overjoyed when he won first place. Dec. 12. I again had the honor of witnessing their class play which was given tonight to a large audience. Dec. 15. This year the sophomores elected Alma Jones and Wesley Evans to represent them in the Electron Prince and Princess contest. U Dec. 22. From the Christmas tree I peeped today and a very merry sight met my eyes. for the sophomores were having their Christmas exchange. Jan. 10. Woe is me, for the semester examinations were given today, but the sophomores came through with flying colors. placing several on the semester honor roll. Feb. 8. Tonight I went to West Mineral to witness the Mo-Kan League one-act play contest. Riverton won first place. and I was proud to learn that two members of the cast were sophomores. Mar. l. I watched the sophomores present the assembly program today, and it was a very good one. Two short plays were presented. A. J. Hutchings played a piano solo. and Lelia Beets sang a solo. Mar. 15 I was taken to the skating rink and there I viewed the class having a lot of fun on a skating party. Mar. 22. Ed Hudson sang a solo at Liberal, and won second place. May 17. Hurrah! School is out for a long summer vacation but I know that next year's juniors will be back next fall anxious for the new school year. The close of school was celebrated by the annual class picnic.

I am going to tell you what the I ,f X Freshman Class of 1940 has done during the past year. At the first class meeting a fine group of officers were elected. Bill Podgorny was chosen as president: Tom Blanchard. vice-president: Howard Bowers, secretary: and Betty Livings- ,dgj C ton, treasure.r. Mr. Welker and Mrs. Rankin .,. , were chosen class sponsors. September eleventh, I attended the freshman initiation. At that time a new class became full fledged members of R. H. S. I attended a freshman party September twenty-seventh. at Schermerhorn Park where we all had a great time. The class was asked to choose two girls for the Booster Club. I am glad to say that Myrtle Sawtelle and Betty Cairns were elected unanimously. I peeped in on a special class meeting and discovered that Tom Blanchard and Louise Stith were chosen to represent the freshmen in the King and Queen Contest. The class play, In Spring, A Young Man's Fancy, was presented the evening of December nineteenth. - On the afternoon of December twenty-second, I played Santa Claus and helped the freshmen exchange Christmas gifts. The music director told me that out of fifty-three students enrolled in the music department, twenty-five in the glee clubs, eight in the band and orchestra, and eleven in the drum corps were freshmen. The freshmen had charge of the assembly program on April 5. I found out from the teachers that the Freshman Class was well represented at the Pittsburg Scholarship contest. 'The climax of the school year was reached when we held our class picnic. Everyone had a lovely time and knew that the school year had been a success. y COLORS: Gold and Old Rose MOTTO: Not at the top, but climbing.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OE LIFE W. P. LAUGHLIN Coach at V Health is the indispensable foundation for the satisfaction of life. Everything of domestic joy or occupational success has to be built on bodily wholesomeness and vitality. Health is essential to the enjoyment all through life of sports and bodily exercise. It is also necessary to continuous capacity for hard work: and it is only through active play and hard Work that anybody can make sure of the durable satisfaction of life.

The music department of the Riverton High School is composed of the following organizations: Advanced Orchestra, Beginners' Orchestra, Band, Girls' Drum Corps. Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and instrumental and vocal ensembles. Private lessons on all band and orchestra instruments are given without charge to students who desire them.

Poor Janet doesn't have a chance until Philippa, a cousin and her roommate, Gracie. come to visit them. What those two girls do on a three days' spring vacation is a-plenty! Gracie brings her pet dog Bijou, a pair of scales by which to check her weight, and unceasing ideas of a devasting nature. She and Philippa turn the staid old Waring home into the scene of a lively houseparty-first having sent Miss Kate into the county on a wild-goose chase. Janet begins to revive, inspired by the girls' high spirits and some borrowed clothes. Tom Cashion, the young doctor called in by Philippa, proves to be an old friend of Janet's. Out of the general chaos, Janet emerges a very attractive woman-and Dr. Gashion finds her so. She is no invalid at all. Everyone is happy. The girls depart for school andx they have surely had a grand time on their three days' vacation.

Mr. Campbell's closest pal. Brooks, dies and leaves a daughter on a ranch in Montana. Because she wears her hair in two braids down her back, the girl is nicknamed Pigtails. She writes Mr. Campbell and tells him that she is miserable on the ranch because her aunt has married a man who is mistreating her. The generous-hearted Mr. Campbell invites Pigtails to come East and make her home with his family. When Pigtails arrives, Mrs. Campbell is horrified and insists that the crude young western girl be sent back to the ranch at once, but Mr. Campbell refuses to hear of this. When Mr. Campbell discovers that he is ruined financially, it is Pigtails who steps in and organizes a band to play at a summer hotel nearby.
