Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1956 volume:

In the year 19 3 • me group oi stuaencs pxcLurea aoove made their grand entrance to the Rushford school. For the past 12 years this group (with a few missing, and also a few added) has been involved in the intricate task of securing a high school education. Now, at the close of our 12 years,we present to the students and the files of Rushford High our 1 a st page in the 12 year history of the class of '56. Perhaps many of the students pictured above do not look too familiar. Why not try and name as many as possible and check yourself against the list on page 35 Dedication Mr. Miller came to Rushford in 1950 to fill a vacancy in the science department. He has taught Chemistry. Physics. Biology, General Science, and General Math. He has also been the Junior High School principal for the past three years. To express our graditude for the fine work he has done to raise the standard of science education in our school, we would like to dedicate this annual to him. 2 School Board Messrs. B. Stephans, C.

RIPPLESS NEWS, VIEWS, PREVIEWS, REVIEWS Each week the co-editors prepare an edition of the Ripples and organize it for publication in the Tri-County Record. The editors assign articles to the reporters on the staff. Here you see Kay and Sondra working out these assignments. Twice a year, a special edition is published. This takes several weeks of preparation and requires careful planning. Altogether, much time is spent on these editions. Here are several of the staff typists busily preparing the reporters' articles for the Tri-County. The articles comprising the paper include a senior interview entitled Twenty Questions , band news, game reports, club reports, grade news, an anecdote entitled ThinkI , and all current school news. The final step before completion of the magazine is mimeographing. Here are the advisor, Mr. Cleland, and the assistant editor, Margaret, operating the machine. 27 BOV 1: L to B.
