Many of our class took part in extra-curricular activi- ties. An exceptionally large num- ber of our boys were out for ath- letics, and several won honors. In the fall of '44 thirty stu- dents entered R.C.H.S. as up- perclassmen. We were under the leadership of Miss Kasiske and Mr. Miller this year. The follow- ing officers were elected which formed a 1nen's cabinet : By- ron McLamar, presidentg Clyde Thompson, vice-presidentg Dan- iel Harp, secretaryg and Jack Rimbey, treasurer. Our major aim was to raise money for the prom. Again our class was well represented in extra-curricular activities. After spending three years in this school, our most earnest de- sire is to reach the rank of seniors. Wilma Smith. Sitting: ll. lit-ss, J. Ufly. S. llzillzarrl. Slzmilili Miss Kzisiske, L.
