CLASS HIGHLIGHTS Sophomores The sophomores understond organization better than any other class. No one could ask for a better, more smoothly running organization than their class. Glen Sawyer was elected president. For vice-president, they chose Hilda Mae Rhodes. Betty Lou Meador was elected secretary-treasurer. Most classes stop when they have elected these officials, but not the sophomore class. They began thinking. If they had a social committee, they could have more social affairs with less work. They decided it would be a great deal of work for one small group so they decided to have the social committee divided into several committees with some one to act as chairman of the whole thing. A social committee was selected. Fred Berry was appointed chairman. They then divided the social committee into subcommittees. The subcommittees are the refreshment committee, entertainment committee, decorating committee, financial committee, and the athletic managers. Evelyn Bartels, Betty Ferguson, and Helen Bledsoe are on the refreshment committee. Betty Cox, Richard Meyer, and Margoret Sheppard are on the entertainment committee. On the decorating committee are Betty Canaday, Donald Harvick, and Mary Redd. The financial committee consists of Betty Meador Donald Harvick, Mary Redd, and Betty Canaday. Glen Sawyer and Margie Wasman were appointed athletic managers. This group, under the sponsorship of Mr. Robison and Miss Pyle has been one of the most active classes this year. They filled their treasury by selling hot dogs, candy, and soda at the football games. They had a party and a weiner roast during the first semester. During the second semester they had another party. At the last party everyone was kept busy most of the evening with a scavenger hunt. Freshmen Seventy-two slightly bewildered freshmen entered R. C. H. S. this year. Some came prepared to study for four years so that they would graduate with honors. Others came because they were told to come. Altogether, though, they are a grand group. They answered all the good-natured teasing of the upperclassmen with a laugh. As soon as they were settled in their classes, they began to get organized. Coach Bolin and Miss Nicholas, the sponsors of this green group of students, helped in every way possible. Annette Harney was elected the first president of this new class. This is Annette's first year at Roxana. She graduated from a Jacksonville grade school. As vice-president of the class, Donald Lovell was chosen. John Frederick, another new student at Roxana, was elected secretary-treasurer. John graduated from grade school in Bay City, Texas. With the election of officers completed, the class began thinking of parties, hikes, and other social affairs. They gave a party in the band room during the first semester. The theme of the party was Christmas. The entertainment committee gave a comedy skit for the benefit of the others in the class. Everyone had a grand time and resolved to give another party as soon as possible. That resolve wos never carried out because Miss Nicholas, who had been very ill before the party, became ill again. Soon after that she resigned. No one regretted this more than the freshmen, who had become very fond of her. After she resigned, only Coach Bolin was left to sponsor them. He did not have time to help them plan a party because he wos busy with basketball practice. The freshmen have great hopes for the other three years in high school. Fourteen
