Rogue River High School - Ro Hi An Yearbook (Rogue River, OR)

At times unexpected problems came up. One that could have been a real disaster was during Spirit Week before Homecoming. Because of the high fire danger, the annual bonfire had to be cancelled. In its place the Seniors presented the First Annual Ms. Rogue River Beauty Contest and a trike race around the track between the class officers. These were a big hit with both parents and students. Ms. Elderberry Flats (alias John Custer) was crowned Ms. Rogue River . Another problem that was taken care of quickly, for a while anyway, was the hassle of people loitering in the parking lot. There must have been some sort of record set for suspensions this year, because about 30 people were kicked out for a couple of days at one time. The halls seemed kind of bare that week. This year was very eventful, in a lot of respects. We hope this collection of photographs will help you remember some of the good times that took place throughout our school all year long. 6

Ilie time ef cei liees They say that our high school years are the best time of our lives. When we look back on them when we're older we'll think how trivial and unimportant those problems were, but at that time they seemed like they would shadow us for the rest of our lives. A broken heart, school work interfering with our social life, a tough teacher giving us a hard time, and even losing our first game were so important. Once in a while, we think about the school years behind us and how most of our problems had passed, and had left us only with experiences that might prove to be helpful in our future 3'ears. They had also changed our ideas which might reflect later in life, but this is just part of the making of our character. As time goes by, more difficulties arise and we find ourselves sometimes in almost the same situation as before, and wonder how it could happen. But again it passes, and we find these days of joyfulness and sadness had quietly left us, and we are no worse from the experiences, but are left with knowledge that our high school years were the best time of our lives.
