The physics class is an
elective course for seniors.
Some of the projects the class
did this year were both individual and group experiments,
group reports, and 2000 word
term papers. The class had
the use of a new laboratory
table and new physics chart.
Boys in vocational agriculture learn the useful arts
of farm mechanics and applied agriculture. Farm management and farm records are
an essential part of this elective course. Vocational Agriculture is available to farm
boys for four years with a
possibility of receiving five
credits.
American history makes
the student aware of his country's heritage and stimulates
interest in current affairs,
helps the individual to understand his government so that
he can take an active and intelligent part in its progress,
and instills in the student a
respect for people all over the
world.

The Student Council selected a public address
system, made partial payment on the concession
stand, and put into effect safety proJects as special
services to the school this year.
Each year the Student Council, governing body
of Rossville High School, introduces faculty approved rules for the students and publishes a handbook of rules and regulations, sport schedules, and
organizations. The activities it sponsors are a
freshman mixer dance, Christmas party, and
homecoming. The Council also plans a program
of work in concession stand for the different
organizations and decides the amount each
organization receives.

elected by the student body to represent them as
Student Council President. Ralph ran on the

Party.

the local American Legion to Boys' and Girls'

own membership and for one week functioned as
a governmental unit.

Baccalaureate and Commencement! They finally came on May 15 and May 17 after
four years of hard work, many activities, and much fun.
Under the leadership of Janet Harth, president; William Ent, vice-president; Sandra
Whittet, secretary; and Jerry Reser, treasurer; our senior year was the highlight of
four years. It included, among other activities, the senior sneak to Branson, Missouri,
the senior play called Man Overboard, the Junior-Senior Prom, and the annual magazine
sales. Ralph Marney was president of the Student Council; Sharon Davis and Kenneth
Heiland were Council representatives. Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Simmers supervised
our activities and gave us advice when needed.
In our junior year the play, The Doctor Has~Daughter; and the Junior-Senior Prom,
the theme of which was "A Song in My Heart," were important events. This year Jerry
Reser was president; William Ent, vice-president; Kenneth Heiland, secretary; Ralph
Marney, treasurer; Carol Raffery and Wayne Rasch, Student Council representatives.
Mr. Williams and Mrs. Carey were the faculty advisers.
We were introduced to high school studies and activities in our freshman and sophomore years. Class parties and hayrack rides, the Snowflake Ball, Sweetheart Ball, and
Mother-Daughter Banquet were among the annual events. Ralph Marney, president of the
sophomore class, guided us through that year; and Wayne Rasch steered us through the
freshman year. Other sophomore officers were William Ent, vice-president; Mary
Smith, secretary; Janet Harth, treasurer; Carol Rafferty and Kenneth Heiland, Council
representatives. In our freshman year other officers were Kenneth Heiland, vicepresident; Carol Rafferty, secretary; Diane Swenson, treasurer; Jariet Harth and
Charles VanVleck, Student Council representatives.
Along with our activities have gone many hours of studying and preparation for a
new adventure in life. Now, at the end of four years we not only look backward, but
we also look forward to the future and its delightful uncertainty.
