Once again as the school is raced with the ceremonies of graduation we, the class of Nine- teen-Hundred and Forty-three emerge from good old R.H.S., forty-five strong. Let us glance back over those four seemingly short years. In 1939 we find the graduating class of '43, elghty-flve In attendance, separated Into two sections. Olrls were under the supervision of Mrs. Price, the former Nell Young, who now lives in Everett, Pa. Boys were under the guidance of Mr. Wilbur McClain, now a soldier In the United States Army- The two groups of green freshles chose their class representatives for the year. The class elected Bill Troutman as presiding officer, and Susie Berzansky as the vice-president, while Elizabeth Brenna held the money-bags and reported the minutes. Being very studious freshles , our social calendar chalked up only one party - the fresh- man debut . At the end of the freshman year the attendance had dropped to seventy-four. After finishing a year as freshles we moved into place as the 1940 Sophs - slxty-nlne In all. During the sophomore year, Miss Marcoccl listened to our many troubles. David Corrle led our class as president with Eva Kowalchlk acting as vice-president. James Houck sang Dancing on a Dime and our minute man was Adolph Altobelll. In our new surroundings, we flourished into a second social affair - the Sophomore Frolic which was followed by several other affairs. At the end of this year, only slxty-one persons were still with us. By the time 1941 rolled around, we were ready to take our places as Juniors. We were almost as sturdy, though not as dignified, as those mighty seniors. That year the class was under two capable supervisors, Mr. Fenstennacher and Mr. Ebersole. We chose John Henwood as president. Bill Troutman as vice-president, Lucille Foore as secretary, and Elizabeth Brenna, treasurer. The Junior Prom loomed up as a goal toward which to work. We were prepared for a social as well as a financial success. On April 24, 1942, the long-awaited day arrived with the Juniors working like mad to prepare food and decorate the auditorium. The coming of evening led many to the R.H.S. dance floor to the music of Del Rio's orchestra. And now as those long dreamed-of seniors, we have reached the last post In our four year march. Under the guidance of Mr. Wlble, President James Houck and Vice-president James McClain attended to the more weighty problems which were before our class, while Naomi Warden handled our money and Jean Tewell kept the minutes straight. During our senior year through the suc- cesses of the senior play, sport contests, and publication of our year book, we have been greatly encouraged. But all these things are In the past. We now leave our successes and short-comings to those who follow, while we go forth to Join the ranks of the Alumni. Many of us who have been hurling basketballs and footballs for dear old R.H.S., will join the multitudes who are putting up a desperate struggle to keep this, our America, safe and free from oppression. To these we extend the hope that their victories in school activities will carry over to bring victory in a more serious struggle. -20- Jean Tewell
