'lfl1fltO1 QZCISS . . . IIISTIIBY In September, 1940, 93 freshies entered the portals of R. H. S. The first two years were taken lightly, but the third year found them ready to settle down with only 56 surviving. Organizing early in the school year, the juniors selected Miss Rena Wright as their class sponsor. Charles Spohn was elected president, with Fred Mitchell as vice-presidentg Gale Barter, secretaryg and Don Reed, treasurer. ' Industrious describes the juniors. In November they sponsored a motion picture, Gentleman Jim, at the Times Theatre. The following month found them pinching sugar for a bake sale, and on April 27, they presented a play, June Mad, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. They climaxed the year with a reception in honor of the seniors held at Colonial Hotel. The juniors are active in all activities. In Hi-Y Charles Spohn was treasurer, Naomi Hight was G. A. A. treasurerg and Bill Cessna has been a yell leader for the past three years. On the basketball team, Redinger, Reed, VanLue, Kindig, Carruthers, Denton, and Nickells, gained prominence for the juniors. Among school contests: Charles Spohn brought further honors in Latin and band, Billie Adamson, Mary K. Moore, Phyllis Graham, Patty Steininger, Geraldine Schafer, and Bob McKelvey participated in the county commercial contest.
