JUNIOR CLASS Of the thirty-one freshmen who so boldly entered Randolph High back in September 1925 eighteen have passed safely over the pitfalls of their course and are now about to enter into their senior year Several have left school and others have been stranded and have formed new associations. Members who have joined the class since the freshmen year are: Marie Schmitt, Helen Jacobson and Marcella Jonas. The class, one of the smallest in years, was very successful in their traditional stunt night and as this is being written they are making preparations for the big event of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet.

J? SENIOR CLASS HISTORY y % “The Past forever gone”— there is something infinitely complete and final about that phrase. To Seniors it seems to bear a special meaning — one of sorrow in the thought that our school days can never be recalled. Yet the pleasant memories that are ours can ever be awakened and thus, in a measure, bring consolation. Seven of our present class, Norman Willey, Helene Deines, Harold Eike, Harold Wimmer, Josephine Buol, Bernedine Bruner, and Cody Frederick, were introduced to the trials and joys of school life by Miss Havens, who many of us remember as a “friend in need” and a “friend indeed.” After our timidity had been overcome we thoroughly enjoyed the succeeding eleven years. In fact we must have become over-confident because at the fourth-grade picnic Harold Eike ventured out too far on a tree limb and fell into the creek. Except for this interesting event and the increase of four new members, Luella Iiohnson, Vivian Halleen, Rosalie Lingner, and Kenneth De-Kay, the first six years were rather uneventful. Junior High brought two memorable joys—bobbed hair and an hilarious Friday afternoon spent in reading notes written by the much-subdued girls of the class of ’27. Gordon Kohnen, Gertrude Behn, and Edith Olsen joined us in Junior High. With this preparation we launched forth into the biggest adventure of all — High School. Crystal Christenson, Arlene Lageschulte, Ferdie Manzer, Pearl Rinehart, Thelma Cogdill, and Lois Finley arrived just in time for the Freshman initiation. Some of our highly-successful athletes began their football training during this process. The Sophomore year was quiet—an appropriate preparation for the exciting year to follow. Irene Mahrt and Otto Stave joined our ranks at this time. The Junior Vaudeville and banquet were enjoyed to their fullest extent. The work necessitated by both seems to be forgotten while the fun and comradeship remain. In our last two years Mildred Schrad, James Plith, Earl Craven, Josephine Willeka, Loren Andrews, Carl Allison, and Russell Wilson increased our number so that it is now twenty-nine. Our last year is drawing to a close, and we as Seniors realize that our attention should be centered on the last part of our motto— “The Future still our own.” Our thoughts tend to return rather sadly to the Past, but we rejoice that it has left us so many dear recollections. We sincerely hope that the future will hring forth as many. Page Eight

SOPHOMORE CLASS The class of ’30 is one of the peppiest of Randolph High. School parties have been few in number due perhaps to their energies being directed along other lines. They have been active in glee club work and have been fortunate in being represented in the operetta cast, “Carrie Comes To College.” In the local declamatory contest held this year they won first and second in humorous, first in oratorical, and third in dramatic. In athletics they have also been participants. The Girl Reserve and Boy Scout organizations, the orchestra, and band are all assisted by sophomore talent. So we watch with anticipation this mischievous but capable class. It is the hope of the class of ’28 that each member will develop his talent during the two most opportune years of his high school life thus bringing credit to old Randolph High.
