Memoirs “The moving finger writes and having writ Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your tears wash out a Word of it. It is a great pleasure for us to record the memoirs of our class during these four fast-fleeting years at good old R. H. S. They're worth recording because wc have been recipients of many benefits while here. Each incident, each happening, each day, and each year make up links in our past, and we like to think of each link as a part of a golden chain in our history. Wc have had great fun in compiling the facts, big and little, which we will record in these memoirs. The first year of our high school was a glorious one because it marked a great change from that of grade school. Mr. Wilbur McClain and Mr. Sherman Croft were our advisors. For our officers we elected Lewis Winfield, president. Rev Howe, vice-president, Barbara Love, secretary, and Martin Territo, treasurer. We did our best to make ourselves known. We didn't make history as we were too busy watching the clock, but wc had the time of our lives just being green. But time flies, and most of us passed or squeezed by our subjects and became tenth graders. We were really floating through the clouds that year, and we wore ourselves to a frazzle trying to impress the upper classmen, but they just wouldn’t notice us! We thought we weren't afraid of anything or anybody, but. alasll We elected Dennis Rourke president. Leon Wible vice-president. Annette Cannon secretary, and Linda Black treasurer. Under the guidance of Miss Hazel Angle and Mr. Kcrmit Wible we were able to sail over the dark clouds and keep our faces toward the sunshine to emerge a bit wiser and less haughty. And now we write of our junior year when wc were really strong and as good as gold or so our advis- or. Mr. LeRov Kolva, led us to believe. The sopho- mores envied our places, and the seniors were amazed at our brass. By this time we were making our presence felt in sports, music, and other activities. Upon re- ceiving our rings, we felt a bit mightier and prouder. Again we elected Dennis Rourke president. Ronald Woad vice-president, and to Annette Gannon and l.inda Black we again gave the honors of secretary and treasurer respectively. Wc were kept busy plan- ning for the Junior-Senior Prom and banquet, but we did it. And speaking of proms—we'll never forget it! Using The Wishing Well as our theme, we danced and danced to the mellow music of “The Seven Notes . The Junior-Senior Banquet, which preceded the prom, will be placed high in our list of memoirs.

Memoirs But Time, that thief, stole our junior year, and at last we became the seniors, fifty-four of us. With Miss Ann Marcocci as our advisor we began a year of hard work, for we had to have money to sponsor our trip to Washington and to publish our yearbook. By this time Dennis' qualities of leadership were quite evident, so we elected him our president again. Jack Troy was elected vice-president to help Dennis with all the details, l.inda Black, our efficient typist, was our choice for secretary; we had so much money to count and spend that we decided Kmina Lou Adams would do an excellent job as our treasurer. OUR YEARBOOK CHIEFS This was, indeed, a busy year. We were very active in sports. Our football team, whose captain and co-captain were Rey Howe and Lewis Winfield, had a successful season. In basketball the boys had a fairly good season winning 12 and losing 7. In the Huntingdon-Mifflin County League our boys won 10 and lost 2. They were second to Armagh-Brown but still went to the Class C Elimination play-offs, since Armagh-Brown was a Class B school. The girls' basketball team, with Patsy Heath as captain and Agnes Lucas as co-captain, had a good record too, winning 6 of 10 games and for the first time in the history of girls’ basketball at R. H. S., the team won the Huntingdon County League trophy. The Tiger, our yearbook, was one of our larger projects. Wc elected Ronald Wood our editor with Dorothy Creswell associate editor and Annette Gannon the business manager. We'll never forget Mystery, Mayhem, and Mur- der , our senior play which was quite thrilling. Wc can still see some of those exciting scenes in the play. The cast, which played both matinee and evening per- formances. did an excellent job. Another happy occasion for us as seniors was the prom where we were the guests of the juniors, who did a marvellous job. Words cannot express how much we enjoyed the affair. And this is the end of our story. As we leave R. H. S., we would like to say something else. We have not done all we could or wished with our four years here, but our associations with teachers and other students have kindled in us a gracious attitude and a loving spirit which may make up for any de- ficiencies in our training, and we have a belief in cer- tain unseen splendors which we hope to realize by having courage and keeping faith in ourselves and in our goals.
