THE PIERIAN CO The First Pierian MOST of us have taken the Pierian for granted. We may have heard about the j ear book before we came to Morton High, or maybe we did not liear about it until our fresliman year when students at tlie second tloor desk shouted to us as we passed, saj ' ing, Pay for your Pierian now. Our Iiigh school, from which most of the Richmond people have been graduated, has not alwaj ' S had a j ' ear book. It was not until the year 1909 that the juniors and seniors of the Richmond High School published the first year book, the Pierian. In the editorial of the first Pierian, it was stated : For manj ' 3 ' ears, the student body of the Richmond High School has desired an annual school publication, but not until this year were our dreams realized. With the advent of a new principal, C. W. Knouff, came numerous ideas, among which was the annual. The book was dedicated to the new principal. The Staff also expressed thanks to Mr. J. F. Thompson for his kindlj ' assistance in the photographic work. The individual pictures of the faculty, which included twenty teach- ers, came first. A history of the classes and the pictures of the forty- eight graduating seniors were next. The group pictures of the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen followed. There were summaries of the music, art, and athletic departments, and comments on the new high school building (the one we are now planning to abandon), and pictures to accompany each. There was a section devoted to the alumni, telling the whereabouts of graduates in the classes from 1870 to 1908. A few short stories and bits of humor concluded the first Pierian. The following is an excerpt from the first annual, discussing the social life of the school in 1908-1909: The social life of Richmond High School in the past year has been greatly changed and several of the old customs have been eliminated, and several others added. For instance, the former Junior-Senior dance has been done away with. By far the most successful affair that ever was held at the school was the burlesque on the Fall Festival given last fall. All of the classes were represented and there were all sorts of anmsements, from the ' Gypsy Camp ' to the dramatic production put on by Ray Rogers and his band of Thespians. Among the features of the Festival were: ' The Chamber of Horrors, ' ' The Gypsy Camp, ' ' The X-Ray Exhibit, ' ' The Famous Travels in Yellowstone Park, ' ' The Cave of the Winds, ' ' Fair Women of all Nations, ' ' The Fortune Teller, ' ' Baby Show, ' and ' Fish Pond. ' The Debating Club is another new organization in the school and an extremely profitable one to all who care for instructions in debating.
