We know that we will never in the years to come receive the companionship we have had here. How very contented and happy our priests and S.C.N.ls have made us by individual and undivided interest in what we were doing! ln thanking them, we acknowl- edge what we have received not only from books but from their Hne example, directive guidance, and the feeling of democracy manifested in our school activities. ln our social life they have witnessed the looks of joy on our faces at many school affairs. They have shown us how to have real funl' because it's been right funn! We would like to think that every class that has graduated in the ten years of Roanoke Catholics history has shown gratitude and love to those who truly deserve it for the work they have done in these, the best years of our lives.

Oh, how well the Class of '60 will come to realize this in future years! We will look back and remember our Freshman, Sophomore, junior and Senior days and the good times we had, the parties and dances we went to and the crazy things we did. But crazy as we were, we could be serious when the occasion demanded as at retreats, especially the Senior one and the Day of Recollection. So many events filled our Senior Year! The Get-Acquainted Party for the Frosh and Sub-Frosh, Homecoming where our head cheerleader, Helena Gillespie, reigned as queen. The newly-formed Pep Club made the Homecoming Parade the best ever. Lovely Veronica Hunter was our city representative on the Snow Queen Float in the Christmas Parade and also reigned over our Snowflake Splendor. All seven cheerleaders were Seniors this year Rnd, though We 10St at times, these peppy cheerleaders never gave up. We like to think they were the best R. C. H. ever had. The Tournament! We came home with the Boys Class B Championship. Then came the Athletic Banquet, the Class Trip to Washington, the junior-Senidr Prom with Andrea Stevens as Prom Queen. Thank you, juniors, for a memory we will long treasure. The last few days were crammed with so much. We knew every- thing was a 'llastf' With Graduation so close even small things were most precious to us. Yes, we could go on forever! But all good things must come to an end. So, we, the Senior Class of 1960, bid farewell to Roanoke Catholic High School. Will the halls of R. C. H. seem empty without us? We hope so, for a little while at least. These are the memories we will cherish, memories filled with love for our Alma Mater, Roanoke Catholic High. 're V L +El18l5 Guicliizg Lights PREXY JACK XVINSTON, Veep Drucilla Stevens, Secretary Donna Eunice and Treasurer james O'Connor capably led the Senior Class through lights and shadows of their final year. Our song has ended, will the melody linger on? As a class we are no more. We are gone forever from the hill. Gone but not forgotten---we hope. As you do the things that are part of high school life, the ubooks and lessons, games and parties, we ask that you think occasionally of those who have gone before you. XWalking through the halls, feel our spirit lingering there. If you listen carefully, youll still be able to hear us in the classrooms, the lab, the library, and the gym, cheering at pep rallies and games-Cfor four years the class of '60 cheered, hoped, and prayed our team to ultimate victory?--dancing at hops, waltzing at proms. Maybe we'll best be remembered as the class who knew how to have a good time. Even as you decorate for dances, you may be able to find old pieces of crepe paper, mute reminders of the blood, sweat and tears that went into decorating for the social activities of the last few years. We were the tenth class to graduate from RCH and, as such, we had a unique kind of class spirit. We were a close-knit class, one that did things together. XVe regret we did not do more. A few souvenirs and this book are the only tangible milestones to mark our passing, but we sincerely hope that a monu- ment to our memory has been erected in the hearts of the people who mean so much to us . . . the faculty and the students of our Alma Mater. Yes, the song has ended, will the melody linger on. U -donna p. .ff IQ GABRIELLA ALICIA BEATTIE October 27 SAINT ANDREWVS The calm in every senior storm.

H. are President Linda Fulton, Vice President john Givens, Secretary Martha Susan Bentley, Treasurer Sammy As- said. junior Class Officers Juniors, self-confident in the knowledge that new and more exciting things await, set their goals for the knowledge that will prepare them for the future. They look across the threshold where the sky stretches eternally and the door never closes. Through this door and under the boundless sky pass shapes--the figures of the present, the historical past, the ghosts of the more distant unknown past and the indefinite shadows of the future-all have passed or will pass through the door. Finding themselves approaching this same door through which all are compelled to pass as Seniors, the juniors hope to draw open the curtains on a new dawn, for they have in- herited a legacy . . . that in all they do the sky is the limit. The ideal that the sky is the limit is born in Americanism, cradled in the four freedoms. nourished bv the startling discoveries made each day through educational opportunities and crowned by wisdom and vision and the strengthening grace of God.

May the blessed sunlight shine on you and warm your heart until it glows like a great fire, so that the Stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a Friend. And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you like a candle set in two windows of a house, bidding the wanderer to come in from out of the storm. And may the blessing of the rain be on you--the soft, sweet rain. May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up and shed their sweetness on the air. And may the blessing of the great rains be on you, may they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean, and leave there a shining spot where the blue of heaven shines reflected, and sometimes a star. And may the blessing of the earth be on you-the great and round earth, and may you ever have a kindly greeting for them you pass as you're going along the roads. May the earth be soft under you when you lie upon it, tired at the end of the day, and may it rest easy over you, when at the last, you lie under it, may it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be quickly through it, and up, and off, and on its way to God. May God always bless you, love you and keep you. eil 47 lie Freslmaen Boys Officers Leaclerr in R,C.H.'r .7VI4m'r Wforlaf' are Michael Russo, Secretary, Michael McFadden, Treasurer, Petie Wfoods, Vice President, jerry Tankersley, President, and Richard Maxey, Sergeant-at-Arms.
