Aircraft lost flight director command bars and had multiple warning indications during the takeoff roll. Rejected takeoff was initiated by the captain and aircraft returned to the gate. First officer spent considerable time attempting to locate the QRH page referencing an rejected takeoff event; only to discover it had been eliminated from the QRH.

Narrative:
We initiated a maximum power takeoff due to deicing. With the combination of the cold weather and a light aircraft; the acceleration rate was noticeably greater than normal. Just as I completed setting the takeoff thrust; we both heard a click and immediately multiple master caution lights illuminated including 'hyd' and 'anti-ice' on my side. The captain announced the abort and a very aggressive stop was initiated. We came to a stop on the runway and the captain instructed me to tell the tower. The aggressive stop was a result of the rejected takeoff activating. I did not make the 80 knot call out; but it was evident we exceeded that airspeed. I believe the acceleration rate; taking a moment longer to set max power; and the timing of the failure all contributed to me missing the call out. The captain called for the rejected takeoff checklist after coordinating with the tower to have fire and rescue notified. I became frustrated with my inability to find it. I spent several minutes pouring over the QRH looking for it. I now know it is no longer in the QRH and am not sure how I was not aware of this. I feel I could have done a much better job assisting the captain if I hadn't been so distracted trying to find the rejected takeoff checklist.
