CLA SSES As freshmen, we enter the high school world, preparing to explore many new fron¬ tiers, at first with doubts and anxiety, but at last with confidence and anticipation. We experience the newness of changing classes, the skepticism in new fields of study, the thrill of our first big Homecoming Weekend. As freshmen, we explore this world of new studies, new activities, and new friends. As sophomores gaining confidence, we settle down to a year of difficult work and much activity. Many of us experience, for the first time, a taste of a foreign language. We study life, learning there is more to it than meets the eye. Research papers are experienced and we face the fact that there is much work ahead for us. We begin to understand why sophomores are called wise fools . With the junior year comes the excite¬ ment of planning the Junior-Senior Ball and the magic of experiencing this big event. Also, we begin to realize that we have just one more year in high school. When this realization strikes, we are seen feverishly exploring the counseling room for cata¬ logues, making plans for the future. Before the year is over, minds are changed dozens of times, but still no decisions are made. At last we return as seniors, looking backward at memorable experiences and forward to the EXPLORATION of new fron¬ tiers in work and study. The senior year is filled with magic--Homecoming, the queen and her court . . . Junior-Senior . . . being watched by lower classmen with awe and admiration . . . students standing while seniors march into assemblies. Everyday activities take on a new meaning as we real¬ ize that this is our last year at R. H. S. Decisions for the future are made. Then, as the crowning climax, comes graduation. We leave a little wiser and looking ahead to the plans made for our future. 27
