Willamena Ribb ink The years of high school are, for most of us. years of maturing, during which we are confronted with new ideas and problems. We are very thankful that Miss Ribbink is present to aid us. Her wise and understanding counsel has helped to guide us through these years of confusion. We can take our problems to her knowing that they will receive her undivided attention as she strives to help us. Inaddition to her counseling duties, she teaches notehand and super- vises the production of the yearbook. She never has an idle moment, yet she is never to busy to help. Few indeed, are those more anxious to help others than themselves. As we pass through life, We will look back and realize it was her unselfish interest in helping us that gave us direction and purpose in life. Where we may have hesitated before, she has given us the con- fidence to look the world in the eye and say, I can. Thus, we, the students of R.H.S. , wish to express our appreciation by dedicating this 1962 Falcon to Miss Ribbink.

Different people face their trials in different ways. Some turn and try to evade them. Others face them squarely and try to overcome them. But to face and overcome our trials, we need courage and self-determination. We must stand firm and say to ourselves, I can! Iknow I can! But we cannot stop here. The next step is to say, I will! Iknow Iwill ! Then, when we have defeated these problems that face us, we can say with satisfaction, I did! I knew I could. Today, our trials are small-a history test or a math exam. Tomorrow, it maybe makingadecision while facing some peril on another planet. The habits we form in our early years we carry into later life-habits like the I can habit: I can! Iwill! I did! These three steps are not always easy ones, but they can carry us through all trials. We cannot expect to conquer space and face the other challenges of the future unless we have self-confidence, determination, and even more important, the spirit to say with conviction, I CAN! I KNOW I CAN!
