Junior Class Clisthenes' reform introduced a new type of government to the Athenians, consisting of tribes ruled over by a strategus. The citizens of Athens met in the Ecclesia (popular assembly) to vote on matters which concerned their welfare. In comparison to this, R.H.S. is divided into four tribes and the Junior class is governed by strategus Ted Finnegan (president). His assistants are Kenneth Schultz (vice president) and Gale Krug (secretary and treasurer). The Greeks strived to retain successful community life and they discovered that good order was necessary. This proved to l e an excellent discovery and the Loyalty System is based on the same idea. Enid Tyler, the Junior Representative, keeps the record of their class. Any matter that arises concerning the class, is voted upon and the decision is carried by the majority. The Juniors began their High School career under the guidance of Miss Williams. Despite the fact that both the teacher and class were new, they cooperated in their work; the results being a successful Valentine Party and winning third place in Loyalty. Miss McAfee was their Sophomore advisor and is going to continue to work with this class until they graduate. The Sophomore's ingenuity was shown in the balloon dance they gave, the first of its kind in High School, which was cleverly worked out. This year as upper classmen and having the largest enrollment of the four classes, they are striving to achieve honors in Loyalty. 1 heir prom, which was held April 9, was a huge success and was the first to be held in the new gymnasium.

Just as the young Grecian bovs were taken at a tender age to military companies to be educated, we too were entered into an institution of learning. Since that day we have excelled as a class in many ways. We entered our Alma Mater with the same ignorance that is common to all Freshmen. However, with the aid of Miss Bliss, Miss Randall, and Miss Bockman (our advisors), we have come a long wav. At the end of our first year wre found we had succeeded in claiming third place at the Loyalty Feast. Proving we are very human we became slightly over-confident and as Sophomores were forced to take fourth place. As Juniors we not only succeeded in presenting a June in January” Prom but were second only to the Seniors at the Loyalty Feast. Now we are Seniors and this year we have been displaying our abilities in the fine arts of the Greeks. First, we showed our dramatic talent by presenting the “Tin Hero;” second, in the athletic field our class had stars in football, basketball, and track; third, by producing the largest school paper R.H.S. had ever seen we proved our journalistic ability. So as we leave our dear Alma Mater to become its Alumni, we leave this record of our achievements, in our last and biggest contribution, the 1937 Gleaner. SENIORS Page Twenty-five

Sophomore Class Sparta in Greece was ruled by two kings up to the period of Christianity. ( omparing our sophomore class with ancient Greece, we, too are ruled by two kings, Miss Irene Schwandt, (class advisor) ; and Bob Meyer, (class president). Twenty-eight magistrates further dignified the Greek government but only two magistrates were necessary for the sophomores, they being Warren Neibuhr, (class treasurer); and Margaret Kleel er, (loyalty representative). Our two magistrates did their governing well. They made their plans while the sophomore populace voted their approval or disapproval. Like Socrates, Miss Schwandt taught the philosophy of loyalty to our school and class. She also helped us with our parties and pep meetings, thus making them a great success. Aside from the general academic courses, we sophomores took part in the aesthetic as well as the physical activities. Like the Greeks, we were taught both instrumental and vocal music, and took great pride in our athletic abilities. The Greeks reckoned their history by Olympiad periods of four years. We, too, date our history in four year periods. Just as they held their Olympiads, we hold our graduation exercises. The Sophomore Olympiads will take place in 39. The Greeks had a common language and government to keep them united as one people and at peace with the world. They had, however, within their populace much friendly rivalry in physical and mental contests, just as we sophomores are always ready for rivalry and contests in studies and skill. Page Twenty-seven
