The 1954 edition of the BEARCAT remains in my office, and from time to time, I enjoy going back through it and recalling the good experiences and friends of those years. My educational experience at RHHS was first rate. The guidance and foundation provided by the faculty served me well throughout college and graduate school, and indeed continues to do so. I shall always appreciate what Rock Hill High did for me.
