CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1938, 14 shy little first graders hung tightly on to their mothers hands as they entered for the first time, the portals of learning. We continued our eight years of grade school with the satisfaction of finding that at last we had made 'a place in the world. During the course of these years, we gained and lost many classmates. In September 1946, twenty eight wide-eyed freshmen trooped into the assembly hall, ready to start four strenuous years of high school. Six new students entered our class: Boyd Hardesty, Harry DeLay, Dorene Deeds, Winnie MacDermid, Clin- ton McGuire, and Helen Hall. Under the able direction of Mr. Stamper, our advisor, we under-went the tor- ture of initiation, the fun of the school carnival, and other school activities. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, Miss Klein was chosen as our advisor. The high-lights of this.year were the Frosh initiation and our dance The jail- house Jamboree . Rena Karlson joined us this year. Finally our junior year arrived and we were upper classmen at last. However, our class shrank with Ione Charvat Simpson, Minnie Raasch Madson, Helen Hall and Donna Jean Bishop all leaving. With the help of Mrs. Tuck, our advisor, we put on Soup To Nuts , our play, and the junior Prom, the theme of which was In An Old Dutch Garden . Now as high and mighty Seniors, we number twenty-seven. Donna Bishop re- turned from Montana, Helen Hall came back from Spokane and we had a new ad- dition, Vernell Wills, from Oregon. Rena Karlson returned to Spokane. This year we held our annual Senior play, Homecoming Dance, Senior Sneak, and were honored at the Junior Prom, but the greatest moment was graduation. With the aid of Mrs. Pebley, we have had fun during our Senior year. As we leave F.H.S. and go out in the world, some to work, some to higher education and others to homes of their own, we can look back on four years of high school education with satisfaction ar1d pride. PROPHECY On our imaginary vacation in the year of 1960, we traveled throughout the U.S. and happened on to many of our graduation classmates. In our home state we found Dave, managing the Widman ranch. At Rosalia, a thriving city of 25,000, we discovered Sally Helmer was teaching journalism and Social Science. After bidding them adieu we headed east into the state of Idaho, where we visited Bettie Hames and her husband operating a motel and cafe. Turning our heads toward the state of Montana and remembering that Rolly Porter was herding his flock of sheep, we stopped for a short chat. We continued into the flat lands of our country, the Dakotas. Here we visited the farm of Bill Coe, who was busily engaged in separating milk. After an uneventful trip through several states, we reached Illinois and de- cided to go to Chicago and Visit Dr. Boyd Hardesty who was practicing psychiatry. In St. Louis we went through Dean Wyer's fuel factory, where the new scien- tific discovery of making fuel from corn cobs was in full swing. Marvin seems to have taken chickens seriously as he has settled in New Hampshire. We visited with the former Vernell Wills as she washed eggs for market. A well known public figure and New York lawyer, Bill Palmer, was presiding over the case of John L. Lewis vs.'Congress. As we journey thru the administration building at Washington D.C., we hap- pened upon Margery Marcy, confidential secretary to the Secretary of War, and jackie jackson secretary to the Vice President. Basking in the sun on the beach of Miami, Florida, we stumbled across Dorene Deeds. Seems her rich husband passed on and left her a large sum of money. Bob McBride was singing the lead in the stage production of Oklahoma at Tulsag we attended the show. Barefeet! Typical of backwoods Kentucky life, we found Lois Williams cleaning house while Bill Tupling, her farm hand, was busily working in the tobacco fields. In jackson, Mississippi, we decided to stopat Madam Fifi's Salon for a wave and a manicure, where to our surprise we found Carmella Fuhriman. PRGPHECY The Lone Star State held not only long-horns, but Yvonne Allert and Jo Ann Engel, busily engaged in trainin' the kids how to rope and tie a man. On to Kansas where we ran out of gas on a little countryroad. Flagging down two young farmers in a new car, we discovered Clinton McGuire and Willie Eas- ton who were very glad to help us. Arriving in Tuscon, Arizona, we passed the Ball and Dodd Packing Plant where Helen Hall was employed as the chief stenographer to the second Vice- President. ' On to Hollywood, where the former Donna Bishop is head receptionist at the M.G.M. Studios. After a brief tour of the lot we headed toward Santa Monica where janyce Ogden was autographing her latest best seller at Macy's. We turned toward Salt Lake City, where Donna Wells officiates at the Deep Down Funeral Home. We journeyed to Portland where Winnie MacDermid was operating a fashion- able beauty salon. . As we headed homeward, we stopped at Gray's Harbor and visited our former teacher and class advisor, Mrs. Pebley. She spends her time resting on the beach and thinking of the class of '50.

Its many activities included the play, Aunt Tillie Goes To Town , given on December 2, and the junior Prom, Hawaiian Holiday , which was given on May 6. Both were enormous successes and netted the class OFFICERS a large profit for its last year in high school. During the year janet jones and Eleanor Raasch left our class, leaving a total of thirteen. The class officers were: President - Gary Cain, Vice President - Wayne Kjack, Secretary - Floy Harvey Qfirst semesterj and Eileen Brown fsecond semes- terj, Student Council - Norma jean Eberle Qfirst semesterj and Beverly Fuhriman fsecond semesterj. Our class advisor, Mrs. john Boisen, was called away because of illness in her family. Mr. Boisen took her place as teacher and advisor.

In every school function there was sure to be an active sophomore delegation. OFFICERS During the course of the year many classmates were gained and lost. Don Weaver, Charles Sanders, Eldon Marsh, and jack Hall dropped from the class and Bob Wilson and Ray Dickelman entered, thus making it the largest in high school. Their total enroll- ment amounted to thirty-one. ' Mr. Kiblin was the advisor for the first semester and Mr. Snodgrass for the second semester. F' ox f flfk- Q W K 19415 :M f C -H' , .

CLASS OFFICERS We bounded through our initiation and on to a spirited pep rally. Amid the rush andprep- aration, our dummy was left unguarded and disappearedg but returned to make the rally a success. Our Christmas spirit was roused by the Sophomores as they informed us we were to write a theme to Santa asking for Christmas gifts for our beloved class- mates. Our all-hi return party was typical of our interest and ability to take part in all-hi participation. By the end of the second semester we were ready to take the second leap in our journey toward graduation from R. H. S. Our class was led by our two presidents: Kent Helmer the first semester, and Noah Palmer the second semester.

Familiar faces are a welcome sight on any field of sport and so it is with the cheer leaders. Sally Helmet and Lois Williams returned to complete three years of leading yells. Noreen Pratt was also selected by the R. H. S. student body to complete our three girl yell team. The girls showed a terrific school spirit by leading the R. H. S. yell section at the various games throughout the year. From the cold fall evenings of football to the fast moving basketball games, these girls completed a year of successful yell leading. We feel that the success of our yell team, Sally, Lois, and Noreen, is a tribute to Rosalia High. :L-3-23, , f' jj 33 !f i37 55 'ff Q H9 P 4 m l , VL v x fx f: h 59 ' EW Q Y?

Margery Marcy was elected Associate Editor for the second semester, re- placing janet jones, Associate Editor for the first semester. Mr. Richardson was the advisor. Several of the journalism students plan to carry on in the field of journalism after graduation. 'Winnie MacDermid - Editor ANNUAL STAFF teered their services for the staff of the SPARTAN 1950. This year Sally Helmer was chosen as the edi- tor with Floy Harvey acting as assistant editor. Mr. Richardson was our advisor. Under their capable direction we struggled through the process of getting EDITOR - SALLY write ups and snaps . As well as having meetings at school we added a little variety by holding them at private homes. Richardson's was the first place we invaded with Allert's and P. Helmer's coming next. Pictures for the annual were taken by Owen Mossbarger of Mountain State Studio. Russell Poh- lad and Emerald Merritt also helped out.
