He is the “funmaker” of our class. That’s all right Vac, you’ll surely make a hit in the world some day—with that personality of yours. “Becky” has a definite and sharply defined personality. Her speech, her carriage, her manner, her clothes—there is nothing about her that is not ideal. She is indeed a type of her own. A man of great reserve is this philosopher. Norman sees all, knows everything and says nothing. “He who can mind his own affairs is to be praised.” Hence, three cheers for Norman. He is one of our tall Lindbergh’s, and we are sure he will make good in the world. Patje Twenty-Jive

If sincere and earnest effort count for much, Carol has a promising future. In spite of his stature, “Ed” has many friends. He is a pocket edition of a good time and does not talk his way in or out of things. A quiet fellow, whose motto is “Silence is Golden”—is our “Ed.” Edith confides that she will try her skill in the business world. We feel some day she will go “over the top” if one can judge by the efficient manner she accomplished her tasks while at R. H. S. “Snook” can be seen day after day tripping merrily from class to class, and flashing a a winning smile. Her eyes sparkle with the delight of life. Many good times are surely in store for “Snookie” if she has the luck that we wish for her. Page Twenty-four

THE ROCKET {Streaming from buses and automobiles, and coming on foot, a host of excited soon-to-be Freshmen arrived on the front lawn of R. H. S. This was way back in September, 1927. When all had arrived, some brave soul from the Faculty succeeded in getting a rather distorted line formed. After seeming hours of waiting, during which “Hunk” danced about like an athletic fairy, we were herded into the building to take entrance exams. What exams they were! The fear of not passing which those exams had created was soon forgotten when the news began to circulate that due to ineompleted building conditions in the school, we would not have to return till a week later. When we returned the next week we were again told that school would not start for another week. And so it went on till it really was October before we started to work in earnest. Our class was divided into two sections because of its size. However, we came together each week when the Freshman Club met. Miss Irene Schwartz (Mrs. Emmett) was our able Adviser. In January, the ('lass was honored by having many of its members elected to tbe Citizenship Society. Each month some new names would be added to the coveted list and—yet some would be taken away. Finally June came and we all rushed forth from the revered halls of learning to a bright and beckoning summer. But summer was as a fleeting moment and to our dismay we were again in martial lines before the building erected for our edification. A few of our friends of-the-vear-before had departed from us, but in their places came new and interesting would-be-students. There was one consolation about returning to school—we did not have to sweat over seemingly inexplicable questions to regain admittance to R. H. S. (.’lass work and activities began without preliminaries. We felt sure that we were headed on the path to success. We were each given the privilege of joining two Clubs. Many of our members went out for athletics, and to our pride and pleasure, were successful in gaining entrance to various Varsity teams. Our girls won the interclass basketball championship. When Field Day (Educational Day) came we were well represented in R. H. S. activities. Tbe year passed swiftly and before we realized it we were confronted with the -good old summer-time” again. This time summer did not pass so quickly, because we all wanted to get Page Twenty-six
