The Cast 0f 0ur Play The 262 students of R. H. S. make up the cast of our play. These actors have helped to keep the show running by their daily work and interest. Many of these actors ahave done outstanding things this year. Robert Moore won first place and Louis Schroer won third place in the Sectional Latin Contest. Norma Mason com- peted in the Zone Oratorical Contest. Charles Helt won a 4-H trip to Chicago. The girls' tennis championship was captured by Iolene Messmang the boys', by Bill Schroer. Bill also won the free throw award in basketball in his junior and senior years. Muriel Mathias was chosen to receive the local D. A. R. Good Citizenship Awardg she placed second in the County. Rose Mary Huxley and Nancy Scull are graduating in 'three years, an accomplishment to be commended. Nancy also had the good luck or mis- fortune of living a few miles from Pearl Harbor and witnessing the attack on De- cember 7, 1941. So far, there are eight boys out of our Senior Class who are in the Service. Paul Zartman, Eldon Shepherd, Richard Rogers, Duane Remy, and Bob Cay- wood are in the Navyg Jim Bowers, John Helt, and Kenneth Brubaker are in the Army. Bill Huxley has been sworn into the Navy and Bob Murphy into the Army, but they have not yet been called. In the fall of 1941, 76 Freshmen entered the portals of R. H. S. Of these, 49 were graduated from R. H. S. in the spring of 1945. The class organized in their junior year and chose Miss Barrett as their sponsor. The following officers were elect- ed: president, Eugene Humphreyg vice-president, Jordon Blumenthal 5 treasurer, Dick Rossg secretary, Roberta Hunneshagen. During their junior year, the Class of '45 sponsored a show, Princess 0'Rourke, and the Christmas dance, the Snow Ball. In the spring, they presented a comedy, Ever Since Eve. The evening of May 12 brought the event which the juniors had been working toward all year, the Junior- Senior Prom. Early in their senior year, the Class of '45 reorganized, choosing Miss Wright as sponsor. Bill Schroer was elected to lead the class, and Bill Huxley was named his as- sistant. The treasurer and the secretary were Camille Thompson and Roberta Hun- neshagen. Jordon Blumenthal was elected to be editor of Manitou Ripples. The class sponsored the September dance. It was a Barn Dance and was held in the barn on Grant Miller's farm. On November 1, a large gathering assembled at the gymnasium to see the rollicking comedy, Good Night, Ladies, which was presented by the seniors. The class also had charge of the concessions at the basketball games. The profits from these activities, plus a great deal of hard work, went toward making the 1945 Mani- tou Ripples, the best annual ever published. The seniors were guests at the Junior-Senior Prom on Friday, May 11. The Baccalaureate services were on Sunday, May 13g and the Commencement was held on Thursday, May 17.
