lass History This is station R.H.S., Blue and Gold Network, your announcer-Mr. World. We take pleasure today in bringing you an interview between Mr. World and Class of 344. MR. WORLD: We are glad to welcome you here to our Class of l44's biographical review. CLASS OF ,44: We began our career in Ravena High School as eager, naive and frightened freshmen, wide-eyed and amazed at the privilege of being on our own. Mr. Clinton helped us iron out our problems and eased the invasion of new surroundings. In recalling our activities of this year, we must not forget our memorable trip to Albany as a social studies class, nor the great enthusiasm with which we freshmen greeted the benches in the Capitol lobby after weary sightseeing. Dog tired!!! . . . The sponsoring of a Blue and Goldn dance ushered in our first money-making activity. Business management of the dance was under the leadership of Frank Rowe, assisted by James Dalton. Little did we know, as freshmen, that our treasurer, Shirley Travis and our secretary, Shirley Carkner, would hold their own throughout the rest of our high school career. MR. WORLD: This is very interesting. Tell me, how did the class progress? CLASS OF ,442 With the completion of a pea-green freshmen education, we proceeded into the sophomore class under the guidance of Edward Carhart, president, and Lucy Karrk, vice-president. With the help of our able advisors, Mr. Clinton and Mr. Hopke, we sponsored the 'cHobO Hopf, a dance with a brand new title .... Breathes there a senior who has forgotten the bowls of sugar-coated berries ready to be tumbled on mounds of ice cream at our Strawberry Shindig? MR. WORLD: What happened in the next year of the brilliant class' history? CLASS OF 344: Now we entered our third year of high school. What a joy to be upper classmen! This year out advisor was Miss Kuhn, with Edward Carhart, president and Joey Whipple, vice-president. Our yearis big moment came with the arrival of pearl class rings. This was followed by Sophie Kallaxs coming through at halloweien with her Hwitchingl' per- formance and a minstrel show demonstrating talented singers of our class, with grease paint, tamberines, and familiar songs. And then the Coronation Ball that transformed the gym into blue moonlight filled with swaying dancers. We remember, too, the Junior Jive which boosted the funds in our treasury. In honor of the senior class, we topped the year with a picnic. MR. WORLD: This must have been a wonderful class. How did the final and most impor- tant year turn out? CLASS OF '44-: Returning in the fall under the same officers, our minds looked ahead to Easter and our New York trip. Toward this goal our class, under the guidance of Miss Hermann, sponsored a Thanksgiving dance with music by Bill Brown. In January, President Edward Carhart joined the cavalry and Joey Whipple took over the class for the final stretch. We honored Cupid and St. Patrick's day with successful round and square dances. At last! Our trip was in sight! The day had come which all of us had looked forward to. Its memories, since the day of April lO at 6:35 a. m. when the train pulled out of the station will linger a long time. Then came our play, Mrs, O'Leary's Cow, whose title speaks for itself. Who could forget Jane's I ainlt doin, nothin' or Bill's derby hat. The ordering of caps and gowns and Moving-Up-Day were preludes to the day of days, the goal weid been aiming for, GRADUATION. MR. WORLD: Weave enjoyed the story of your school life, and it has been nice having you with us. As you leave the halls of R.H.S. clutching your diplomas and your eyes seeking goals, let me wish you success. Nineteen
