A group of students from Richland High School had the opportunity recently to tour the home of one of Missouri’s most famous authors and participate in a statewide meeting.

Six students from Richland's Library Club recently attended the Epsilon Beta State Library Club Meeting in Hannibal. Epsilon Beta is a statewide organization for school library clubs.

The RHS students toured Hannibal-LaGrange University, Mark Twain's Boyhood Home and other historical sites, and participated in several competitions, placing second in quiz bowl.

Team members were Brooke Patterson, James Pollock, Tim Mason, and Makayla Wake.

Pollock, the state secretary, helped run the annual business meeting and then handed over his duties to fellow Rebel Makayla Wake, who was elected to the state office for the upcoming academic year. Other members attending the meeting were Hannah Kean and Kirsten Pruett.
