Most of us look like escapees es-capees and we all expected to look so-o-o- glamorous. But we're recognizable if you look closely. Seniors have spent most of the past week practicing for that big moment graduation. Tuesday we learned to walk in our gowns and how to properly balance our mortar board. With the boys in blue caps and gowns and the girls in white, we're really "elegant." Friday the faculty played the regular baseball team in a benefit bene-fit game to raise funds to reimburse re-imburse Joe D. Gleaton for the foot injury he suffered in the game with Altamont.

Like the ending of an old year, it causes the past to be reviewed with all its joys and disappointments, disappoint-ments, and we find that our last four years at RHS have been eminently worthwhile.
