OUR FIRST YEAR BOOK Early in the fall term, the Junior Class met to decide whether or not it would sponsor the publication of a school weekly this year. This paper, Ow R Ya , was issued formerly by the present Senior Class. Our members decided that the value of this paper was not propor- tionate to the time and effort necessary for editing it. Nevertheless, parents and pupils alike enjoyed it. To meet the desire of the student body for a publication which would have permanent value, Mr. Holland suggested having a Year Book”. By this he said that he meant a book issued at the end of the year containing the most impor- tant events of the term. The Juniors were u- nanimously in favor of such a book. They set about planning for it immediately and introduc- ing it to the school at large, for they realiz- ed that only the cooperation of the whole school would make the book a successful one. This book is one that everyone will want to treasure. For the Seniors leaving school this year and for those who have left, it will bring back many memories of the happiest days of their lives. For Richvillians it will serve as a pleasant reminder of their own school days and of their unfailing interest in student activities. Now that our first year book, the RICHON- IAN , is completed, we hope that future junior classes will follow in our footsteps by issu- ing these books regularly, and by feeling as much pride and enjoyment in the work as we of this class have experienced. Mary K. Dodds, President Junior Class
