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.

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.

Freshman Class In the golden age of Grecian supremacy students sat at the feet of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle and listened to words of wisdom. From Sappho’s lips came poetry and music and their minds were filled with beautiful thoughts. Their bodies were not forgotten—they threw the discus and javelin—took part in foot racing, boxing, and dancing. Their bodies and minds were developed and coordinated and the Greek hoy or girl was a well rounded individual—as the boy or girl of today. This year, when the Freshmen entered the High School, a new life was before them. They too, for the first time in their lives, could participate in varsity academics, athletics, and activities—what a wide field in which to follow their interests! They had no Greek pedagogue like the Greek boys and girls to take them from place to place to a music class, the gymnasium, or the academy, rather they were dependent on their own initiative to make a record or name for themselves to carry them through the four years of High School. The record of their achievements here must necessarily l e a short one, but thanks to the able leadership of their advisor, Miss Edelstein, and their officers, it is a fine one. With the other classes they took their turn at putting on a pep stunt in which many displayed their talent in character acting and an all school party which was anything hut amateurish. The class of ’40 looks forward to bigger and better accomplishments in the next three years. Page Twenty-eight
