THE CHAOS 15 nttnr (Elass Mtstrrru Class Flower — Pansy Class Colors — Old Gold and Black Class Motto — Consilium est melius ciuamopes 7 We, the class of ' 23 that are now joining the ranks of the Alumni, entered R. H. S. as verdant Freshmen in ' 19. We were assigned to the south side of the assembly, which was to constitute our home for the first year. We made as few of the expected blunders as pos- sible and before long were looked upon as an intergal part of the student body. Stewart French was elected president of the class and under his able leadership we went over the top in the membership campaign for the athletic association and were declared winners to- gether with the Juinors. The Seniors and Sophomores were hosts to us at a banquet. Our Sophomore year was one of our most successful years. We put on a historical pageant of the city of Rensselaer. It was a great success and much of the praise must go to Miss Merry who directed it. Stewart French was reelected president for the second year, which proved his ability as a leader and his popularity. A great many of the boys turned out for athletics that year and showed that the c lass had ambitions as well as successful aspirants to places on the teams that represented R. H. S. The third year of high school was one of realization. We took a different view of school, its activities, and the part we were playing in its success. The future was more vividly flashed before us than ever before, and with that came the resolves and determination to leave R. H. S. with as clean and as glorious a record as possible. The success of the Junior-Senior reception and other social functions of the year was due mainly to the untiring efforts of Harold Sharp, the class president during the Junior year.

16 THE CHAOS Seniors at last! And the days are waning fast when we can en- joy our power as Seniors. There are many who are glad that the long grind is coming to a close, and there are just as many that realize that we vill never have as carefree and happy times again. Some will go to college and some will not, but we feel that all will remember the days spent in R. H. S. as long as they live. The memory will be sweet for some and a bit tainted for others, but there is not one that will find it bitter. We have furnished a fair share of the athletes to the old school in every branch of sport. Although they may not all be Stars they gave all they had and put every effort into every game. So it is with everything that we do; the more we put into anything the more we get out of it. We are going into the world soon and our successes can be measured by this standard. Our last year has been one of work for the most part, bringing our high school courses and other activities to a splendid finish. John Hopkins has been the class president for the last year. He has proved a popular and able leader.
