. s wr ' ..L...g.,..-.-,., . ..,g . -M l Lucy J ohnsonslived in the Pleasant Hill district, going to Pleasant Grove eight years. In four years of High School she has had three Alma Maters: Pleasant Hill, Strasburg, and Raytown. Let me tell you, she is the righthkind of a forward for a basketball team. Muriel Hassig attended grad-e school at Mt. Washington. Muriel has gone to four high schools, Northeast, Central, Paseo and Raytown. This calls the roll down to Helen Mitchener, who started at Troost school in Kansas City. She came to Raytown and started in the sixth grade there. This completes our circle of seventeen and our records are ready to set down in the History Books of Raytown High High School. WE SENIORS Did someone say that WE, were green, A Freshman class, young and serene? But who could they initiate, If we had not been there for bait? Molasses held our feet like rope, To some, they gave a taste of soap. So naughty must we THEN have been We all went through the spanking machine. As Sophomores it was our fate To help them give, instead of take. And this we did with mighty zest, CWe'd learned before, to give our bestj. A Junior is much more mature And walks with footsteps, quick and sure. We entertain the Seniors, grand, And study lessons to beat-the-band. But now we're Seniors, tall and wise, And see the rest through knowing eyes. We've made our plans for future years, CSome leave the school, with hint of tearsj. We've worked and studied four long years, Are piled with work up to our ears- With book reports and Senior plays Old work must be with us always. We've had our fun, we've had our tears, We've had our hopes and had our fears, And we are ready now to leave The task to others, I believe. -Helen Mitchener 'fl I' , .s I ,ill ii?

Some small, some large and some medium sized. The largest and the smallest boys in the class have traveled the entire road together. Paul Redford and Florence Twiehaus started to school at Chapel and are still together in their senior year at Raytown High. There are four others who graduated from grade school at Chapel. Maudi-e May Hobbs entered there in her third year, having previously attended William Macey at Independence. Herbert Twiehaus started in school at Bone Hill, near Buckner, later coming to Chapel. Dalbert Wiel- igman first began his scholastic career in Tracy, Mo., CI wonder if he .knew the notorious Helen therel. Who thought he would graduate from Chapel? Willa Johnson has a varied career, first starting in Kansas City. She even remembers the tears shed when she was forsaken by her sisters. Then she seems to feel that Maud could tell of the fun they had together at dear old Chapel. Every member of the class has gone four years at Raytown High. The first three years were spent in the old building. But we have an entirely new house now-for our last year. Yet, there are no gains without pains, and we found ourselves deprived of our beloved Mr. Blyholder. Miss Bente left at the same time. Q We all remember that X is the unknown quantity, which usually repre- sented our gradesb, but we loved her for a' that and a' that. Esther Lee Cole and Bonnie Jeane Mclnteer have gone hand in hand for twelve years. Both starting at Raytown grade and finishing at Raytdwn High. By the way, Bonnie is the youngest in our class, though by no means the smallest. Roy Jennings spent one-half year at Lane school and the rest of the time at ,Raytown grade and high. i One of our modest violets is Ethel Dodge, who spent her first three years of training at Belton, Mo.g the next two years at Parkview and from there to Raytown, where she is graduated andis now at R. H. S. Frances Pendleton attended Raytown, with the exception of the first and fifth grades, which were spent at Chapel. Lorene Frost spent eight years at Stormy Point, joining the class at Raytown High in 1924. Louise Riley and J. P. Miller are our out-of-state classmates. Louise commenced at Overland Park, Kans., and thence to Holly, Colo., where she attended tenth grade. Then Raytown claimed her and she ff joined our band as a sophomore. J. P., our newest senior, is from the South. His schooling was acquired in Louisiana. ' pf !
