CHAOS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY oooooo Officers President Watson Fendig Vice President Carl Arnott Secretary Jennette Murphy ' treasurer Byrom Phegley Class Colors — Purple and Gold. Class Flower — -Sunburst Rose. Class Motto — En Avant. It seems but yesterday that eighty eight green, insignificant F reshies (at least so we were told) began their careers in R. H. S. Immediately and from all sides uncomplimentary remarks were hurled at us. On descending the stairs we were told that we sounded like a herd of cattle. The upper classmen condescended to inform us that we were even too green to burn. But in spite of this, Gerald Beaver, our able class president, safely piloted us to our Sophomore year. The next term Watson Fendig was chosen class president. With such an able leader we were assured of a successful year. Much of our time as Sophomores was’ spent listening in open mouthed amazement to the accom- plishment of the Juniors and Seniors. The water tower had its place in our life, as it has in the lives of all the other unusual classes of R. H. S. Always our class numerals were the largest, and our colors the most conspicuous, combination of colors being the least of our worries. Mayor Stockton held us in such high esteem that one evening he stationed himself to guard (?) our flag. Soon the year passed and we were full-fledged Juniors. Again Watson Fendig was the choice of the class, and in his usual manner he performed his duty admirably. Looming on the horizon was the Junior-Senior reception, and we immediately set about to earn enough money to finance the affair. V e endeavored and succeeded in encouraging more school spirit in this one formal affair of the school year. We are hoping that other classes will follow our example. Financially, as well as socially, the Prom was a huge success. In the Good Fellowship contest three of our members were chosen as the best “fellows” of R. H. S. How well that spoke for us! Only the vainglorious enjoy writing their own epitaphs. It is indeed a heavy task to steer a straight course between the Scylla of conceit and the Charvbdis of self effacement in the writing of a class history, especially in the writing of a senior class history. But I believe we, the class of ’26, have much of which to be proud. We have shown our superiority in athletics, in dramatics, in scholarship, and commercially as well as socially. 19 2 6 Page nineteen
