ROGUE RIVER HIGH SCHOOL OF ROGUE RIVER, OREGON PRESENTS THE 1956 I 0 ■ 11 1 ‘ 1 S As we sit around the council fires, we hear a tom-tom beat in the distance summoning the seniors to the last pow-wow before leaving our tribe. Smoke signals are rising from the Home Economics Room, announcing that one of our braves have found the answers to final exams. We rest, content, at the end of the trail, hoping that the medicine which we have made has resulted in a yearbook that students and faculty will be proud of and enjoy. Editor------------ Business Manager-Advisor— -----Nancy Bradley ----Irene Bringman Mrs. Bevely Hunter To our janitor, Mr. Tenney, who has so generously devoted so much of his time, sincerity, co-operation, advice, good sportsmanship, and friendliness to each and every student of the Rogue River High School; whose friendship and interest during his four years of service in our school were a vital part of our institution, we are proud to dedicate the 1956 Ro-Hi-An.

When the class of '56 leave the halls of Rogue River High for the last time, there will be tears in many eyes with memories of four wonderful years. We look back to, when as freshmen, our gay initiation. As sophomores we believed it great fun building the Homecoming Bonfire. Ana then as juniors, we knew the final step of the ladder this year would be the decoration for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. And also the farewell to that year's Senior Class, who had been our school mates for so very long. The first attempt as seniors was to place our confidence in Gary Phillips, President; Loy Towse, Vice-President; Katie Herburger, Secretary; and Nancy Bradley, Treasurer. Sponsoring dances after many games, cake auctions, selling Christmas cards, and basketball season tickets, and being the honored guests at the annual Junior-Senior Prom and our Senior Skip Trip, highlights this year. The Class of Twenty-nine were directed by Ray McClain, head sponsor, assisted by William Hunter. MR. HUNTER MR. McCLAIN SENIOR Senior Homeroom BILL BECK Ambition: To own my own motorcycle shop.

JUNIOR HOMEROOM JUNIOR The Junior Class, sponsors of the Junior-Senior Prom of May 5, presented a Homecoming Dance and Chili Feed In October to raise money for the Prom. The juniors sponsored many Soc-Hops after games and finally they had the financial status for the Prom. We hope the seniors enjoyed the Prom very much, as we did our best to make it a success. Allen, Bob y Byrns, Danny Elledge, Larry McCartney, Karen 17 Malone, Joann WUson, Bob 18 Thayer, Marcia Glenda Stinchcomb, Vice-President; Freddie Hopper, President; Carol Weaver. The sophomores started off the year by having the freshmen put on a skit in honor of the sophomores. This activity took the place of the regular initiation. Then the sophomores and freshmen concluded the initiation by attending a movie in Grants Pass. The sophomores worked very hard on the homecoming by doing all the advertising. We sponsored two dances after the basketball games. We had a swimming party and hay-ride in the latter part of the year. We then concluded the year by all going to the show.

The class started the year by putting on a skit for the sophomores, which took the place of the regular initiation. As usual the freshmen built the bonfire for the homecoming. This year is the first year it has been burned at the scheduled time. We are very proud of the fact that two of our freshmen boys lettered in football. They were Bill Dixon and Jon Bigman. Our class had two Soc-hops; one after a basketball game and the other after a chili feed which was sponsored by the juniors. Both dances were quite successful. All in all, our first year in high school has been lots of fun. : RLSHV.AN HOMEROOM Anderson, Don Bowers, Lewis Dow, Wayne Horn, Lawra Martin, Lawrence Meier, Gary McCray, Jack Milton, Madlyn Olympius, Richard Moore, Gary Pebworth, Jimmy Owen, Loeta 24 Jones, Bob Lanham, Gary Morrow, Bill Plowman, Janice Smith, Beverley Thayer, Nancy Wilcox, Denese Savage, Phillip Stinson, Maxine 25 ; i|.i i|!1 LETTERMEN | I! l| II I .,., Illllliiilmii) II i, !h FRONT ROW (Left to Right): C.

The Lettermen's Club held the annual Football Banquet this year. It was very well attended and the menu was very good. After a two year lay-off, the club again helped in governing student conduct. This meant that anyone caught by the Letter men doing anything destructive to the school or school grounds would be put through the Kangaroo Court and fined for their destruction. They also sponsored the All-American Redheads versus the Town Team Basketball Game. All in all they had a very prosperous year. Coach Hatfield, G. Stinchcomb, Secretary-Treasurer; H.

Then came our Slumber Party, which was really one of the highlights of the year. The G. A. A. , in co-operation with the Lettermen, decorated for the football banquet in December. On December 21, we had our Christmas Party, which consisted of a Barbecue at Mrs. LeRoys, then a show at the Rogue, then back to Mrs. LeRoys for an exchange of gifts. During the spring we also sponsored several swimming and skating parties. In May we had the initiation of new members and installation of new officers.

The Thespian Club has done much to further interest in speech and drama this year. An incentive for students to particir oate in dramatic activities is the fact that by accumulating 10 points, they are eligible to Join the national organization. Some of the students earned points by being on committees or acting in the play, No More Homework. Two drama trophies, donated by Mr. Bob Gail, were awarded to the best actor and actress of the year.
