At the end of three years, thinned in rank and mature in the knowledge they have begun to acquire, these classes depart from their Alma Mater. Small the impression they made on Richmond, but great the impression Richmond has made on them! And it is right that this should be so. For as the years pass by, the old must make way for the new. Although the Class of Twenty-six is new to the world at large, it is old to R. U. H. S., and the new steps forth to take its place. As we leave you, Richmond, proud of the diplomas we have earned, but re- gretting the joys that are behind us, we hear you cry, “Next!” a9 Nineteen]

History of the Junior Class The Class of Twenty-seven has proven itself one of Richmond’s most suc- cessful and loyal classes. Enrolling as sophomores in Nineteen twenty-four they settled down to work, and now they have become a section of the school which furnishes much of the Richmond school spirit. In athletics this class has shown its ability to a large extent. On the football field Charles Baldwin and Captain-elect Robert Caldwell have been worthy and dependable men, contributing greatly to the prowess of the team and often scoring for Richmond. In basketball, baseball and track the juniors have been more than well represented. The junior girls have come to the fore and have helped their teams to victory. Members of the class have displayed great interest in all the school clubs and organizations. The Honor Society counts a large number of juniors among its members, demonstrating that the class is not lacking in scholarship. Many juniors belong to the Debating club, and in the past, the Dramatic club has been greatly supported by the class. In the installation of Girls’ League officers this semester, Meta Laird, a member of the junior class, became secretary-treasurer. The Student Body has been supported by the class. Last semester Mitchell Milicivich was commissioner of law and order, and Paul Basham was vice-president. This semester Jack Lehmkuhl has been a successful vice-president. Under the leadership of President George Gordon, Vice-president Harry Koses and Secretary-treasurer Helen Shea, the junior class organized this year with the annual Junior-Senior banquet as their goal. The affair, given in the Roosevelt Junior high school cafeteria, was a great success. The Sopohmore Class The sophomores have rapidly become accustomed to the ways and duties o our school. This year’s class has taken much interest in the athletics, by being on the teams or on the bleachers routing for those playing. The football season ended with high honors, and a large number of sophomore boys helped to win these honors. The basketball season also brought much glory to the class whose number of representatives was high on both teams. In baseball and track there were many first-year men. The sophomores showed much interest in the affairs of the school, by win- ning the hundred per cent student body banner. They have attended in large bodies all the social affairs and have become active club members in all the organizations. The sophomore girls’ party which took place April 17, was an outstanding social feature of the year. The girls took much interest in making this affair a successful one. Decorations, place cards and favors were in Spring colors. The sophomore girls proved themselves to be gracious and entertaining hostesses. | Highteen

te sinh een ining. «Bi ss | A Ny va wm, TERATURE OUR SHARE Life holds for each some joyous thing to share, For constant sharing is a joy supreme, Though hard for some to do, it oft’ may seem, ‘Tis ever worth the struggle that we bear; Some go through life with not a single care; : They seem to be as if but in a dream, Their sunny dispositions e’er do gleam, And with the best they always seem to fare. Now what our future share will sometime be Will profit by just what we practice now, Joy may be ours for all eternity If just by living, others we'll endow. Now is our chance to start if only we Will learn from those who long to teach us now. —ELEANOR EHELEBEN, 26. When Students Legion Tramp Down Echoing Halls When students legion tramp down echoing halls To hear the strange and curious pedagogues Hurl esoteric learning that befogs, And feeble undiscerning pupils stalls, I ask the cold, unheeding world, what calls These teachers to humiliate these dogs, And labor with these minds sans wheels sans cogs ? Upon such souls why wield the lash that galls? From learned lips a thousand comes reply: “The progress of the human kind depends On education’s tedious, bitter cure; To live unknowing is not to live, but die. To grov’ling dark, divine enlight’ning lends Sweet beauty’s and fair progress’ shining lure.” —Irvinc McKee, ’26. | Twenty
