Section, (?CaM, Back in the year of 1940. people were turning their thoughts to situations of the country eco- nomically and to the ever-increasing danger of war. That is, most grown-ups were. But to the large group of tiny tots who entered East and West Elementary and various rural schools, thoughts were turned to situations much more important to them, for they were on the threshold of learn- ing the three R's. We studied hard and learned much and six years later we moved to Junior High for two more years of book lamin'. We entered into competition with the class of '51 and walked off with top honors on Halloween night with our presentation of The Gay Nine- ties . Two more years of studying and we were fully qualified to enter the doors of our Alma Mater, R.H.S. To pilot us through our green freshman year, we elected Eddie Faust as our president, Hugh Harrison, Vice-President; Jeanenne Hailey, secretary; Bob Wheeler, Treasurer; and Barbara Barner, Jeanne Ruede, Frank Watson and Joe Williams as our Student Council members. Love- ly Pat Duncan was our Homecoming candidate and we presented a miniature football field as our float. In the Amateur Night contest, our pre- sentation of Whether or Not received much applause. Still climbing higher on the ladder of educat- ion, our sophomores officers were: Bob Wheeler, president; Carolyn Kingsbury, vice-president; Elsie Underwood, secretary; and Janet Huston, treasurer. Hugh Harrison, Keith Smith, Pat Dun- can, andSherry Taylor represented us in Student Council sessions. No one could have represented us better in Homecoming festivities than vivac- ious Joanne Hawks. Connie Stair played the lead- ing part of our Amateur Night skit Ignorance Is Bliss . Our very successful spring assembly clos- ed our second year activities and promoted us to Juniors. Third year, Eddie Faust was again picked as our pilot, with Janet Huston as his right hand man and Betty Frost as secretary and Ann Cottingham as treasurer. Frank Watson, Mary Boyd, Donn Tankersley, and Connie Stair were our contribu- tions to Student Council. Our lovely candidate for Homecoming was Barbara Barner, also crown- ed 1950 Queen of the Ozarks. This year the Jun- iors led the honor roll from beginning to end. Barbara Barner was crowned Sweetheart of the Growler in the annual yearbook queen contest with Pat Duncan, Mary Boyd and Jeanne Ruede as maids from the Junior class. Our senior year, we elected as president, Kenneth Riley to bring us the last mile of our journey home. Other officers included Tom Stogsdill, vice-president; Barbara Jackson, sec- retary; and Barbara Barner, treasurer. Mary Boyd was elected class historian. Janet Huston served as president of Student Council with Bill Wilcox and Eddie Faust as senior representatives. Our charming homecoming candidate was Ann Perry and our cleverly-constructed Baloney Machine float won first prize. In sports, star players from the senior class were Don Tankersley. Gene King, Lucien Bolon, Keith Smith, Robert O'Malley in football; Hugh Harrison, Marlin Lile, Lucien Bolon,Keith Smith, in basketball; Robert O'Malley and Keith Smith, in track; and Lucien Bolon, Kenneth Jackson, and Jack Nelson in baseball. Keith Smith holds the distinction of being one of the two 4-star letter- men in the history of the high school. As we finish the last lap of our very success- ful journey through high school, we are now 107 strong. Many of us will continue our education while some are already in fields of business. Al- though our interests and vocations may vary con- siderably, all 107 will look proudly back and say I was a member of the RHS class of '52 . 7
