l l Rule The School Harry Peterson, Betty Dale, and Lloyd Kunde were in the annual Jesters play, while many more of us served on the crews. Muriel Sudbury, Lloyd Kunde, and Kathryn Bienfang earned enough points to become Thespians. A large percentage of the junior girls were members of the G. A. A. and F. H. A. Catherine Grimm, Lloyd Kuncle, Bob Caron, Nancy Halsey, Jeanette Wigen, Betty Purvis, Dorothy Breckenridge, and Mary Ellen Butler were members of the TATLER staff. Ah, yes! There were a number of us throughout the year who remained on the honor roll. Then came the final climax of all our work-uThe Prom . We danced the night away to the strains of Cliff Gray's Orchestra set in the midst of a decorative park scene. The W rn Junior Class wishes to thank its sponsor, Miss Ogden, and Forty-two Cents, Please, for that the many committee members who gave so much of their delicious lunch- time and talent toward making the Prom a success. The Juniors struggle with aptitude tests.

S. for our first classes. Now we have but one Q'big year left. It also seemed but a short time ago that some of us, as freshmen, helped with the Junior-Senior Prom. Juniors prominent on the gridiron or the basketball floor were Art Newell, Melvin Meling, Lloyd Kunde, Dick Ripp, Bill Brennan, and Harry Peterson. Art Newell was selected by his team mates as Honorary Captain of the football squad. We were represented by twenty-five boys who were out for football during our Junior year. This is a record attendance in the history of R. T. H. S. When the chorus met on Monday and Friday, the Junior class was Well represented by a large group of well-tuned boys and girls. Also the band and orchestra had a good number of Juniors in it.

No longer new, we spent the first week proving to the freshmen and to ourselves that we knew our way around. On September 21 we entertained the freshmen at a carnival patty given in the study hall, which was decorated with colored streamers and balloons. The first part of the evening was spent playing games arranged in booths around the room. Prizes were given to those with the highest score. After refreshments were served, we spent the remainder of the evening dancing and-yes, breaking balloons. Two sophomore boys, Don and Paul Plumley, were on the varsity football and basketball squads. Many received minor letters, all were cheered on by sophomore cheerleaders Mary Masters, Lorraine Rewerts, and Carole Jefferies. The sopho- mores had their share of casualties when Duane Yetter received a broken shoulder and Jim Reed received a broken leg while playing football. Page Twenty-six
