These were the years the Seniors jingled their spurs through these well-known halls, first as sophomores when they timidly entered the strange un- comprehensible world of the high school. Next we saw them as proud juniors, utterly swept away in an overflowing tide of rings, dances, assemblies, and plays. They worked diligently to make their prom, “Some En- chanted Evening”, the tremendous success it was, and their class play. “The Boarding House Reach”, a masterpiece in amateur production, with the riotous predicaments of Wilbur and his pal Hercules stealing the show. I hen at last we found them as sen- iors assuming the customary dignified (?) air, ready to set the pace for the years mad rush of gay events. After debating long and heatedly over election of officers and the style of announcements, they settled down until the end of the year. This was the year which brought with it the initia- tion of both the Freshmen and Sophomores, a welcome escape from classes; the class carnival over which Queen Noreen reign- ed; and the class play which was a tre- mendous hit. And then after the final exams came the Senior Week, May 27 to June 1. In it were the Senior picnic, with the sunburned faces and blistered backs testifying their enjoyment; the Senior Ban- quet with vivid, fleeting impressions of our friends; and Baccalaureate, a sad and wist- ful farewell to our pleasant times together as the Senior Class. Finally on June 1, the Seniors marched out through the portals of R. H. S. to the accompaniment of the majestic strains of “Pomp and Circumstance”.
