H A O S JESSIE MERRY Commercial Bryant and Stratton Business College University of Chicago, B. S. Although her sub- jects are hardly con- nected with the regular academic courses, they are found to be very practical in the busi- ness world. To appre- ciate her subtle wit, a quick mind is required. HAZEL BEATRICE GRAY Music and Art Valparaiso University, B. M. Teacher’s Certificate, P. S. M. We can’t understand how Miss Gray has been able to withstand all the screeching the students of R. H. S. have done this year. Her work with the Glee Club has been highly successful. ELIZABETH KING Calisthenics Columbia School of Physical Education Although Miss King’s subject was first introduced into R. H. S. this year, all of the girls have become very enthusiastic, and a great deal of the suc- cess of this subject is due to the way in which she has carried on her work. 19 2 1

Aaron Ward Rose To the incoming Freshman, High School usually seems the embodiment of all that is dark and mysterious. Teachers are usually looked upon as ogres, always ready, figuratively of course, to snatch from their necks the heads of the innocent Freshmen. We, the Seniors of 1921, when we entered High School were at the bot- tom of the ladder of graduation. Now we are on the top round, and shall soon have left the ladder. As Freshmen, we were forced to endure the taunts and jeers of the upper classes, because of our many blunders. But we had mounted the first step of the ladder and nothing could turn us back. Consequently we contrived, by fair means or foul, to pass the cruel exams thrown at us, and with glory and great joy found that next year we would be Sophomores. At the beginning of the second year, the majority of the previous Fresh- men were present. During the entire year we were very quiet, turning up later as a “dark horse,” as it were. We often wondered what made the Freshmen so carefree and kiddish and gay. We, following the examples of others, forgot that we had ever been beginners. We then mounted the third step of the ladder. Whenever the word “Juniors” was heard, we were all attention and were very proud indeed. Forrest Osborne, our president, had the support of the entire class. We wer e very enthusiastic over athletics, and engaged in several contests, always managing to be the guests at the banquets given for the winners. We watched with envy the Seniors, however, knowing that the next year would bring to us the fruits of toil. We now stood on the last step and gazed about us. We looked at the first three steps we had already climbed and sighed with relief. Imagine us Seniors starting four years before as verdant Freshmen! Although it hardly seems possible, it was nevertheless true. But now there are the exciting days of Commencement week to look forward to, and then we will bid R. H. S. goodbye forever, and go out into the world — Freshmen once more. ESTHER ZACHER, ’21. 19 2 1
