The students are chosen upon the following merits, in addition to! that of scholarship: leadership, service, and character. The following students were elected to membership from the class of 1928: Ernest Graham, Betty Miller, Margaret Wild, Mary Alice Warren, Sarah Hunt, and Esther Arnott. lt matters not bow long you live, but bow well.

Class Flower-Carnation. Class Colors-Green and White. On September 1, 1924, Rensselaer High School became the host of eighty-four boys and girls, the class of ,28. Robert May was elected president for the first year of their visit. Although totally ignorant of all the customs of R. H. S., these promising young people soon learned all the necessary rules and regulations. By the end of their first year even the upper classmen were forced to admit that the class of '28 was an ideal guest. In the fall of 1925 this same group, considerably lessened in number, accepted the invitation of R. H. S. to make another visit. Raleigh Phegley was elected president. This year the class was determined to pay back in some way the kindness of their host. Accordingly many of the boys took an active Part in athletics and others won prizes in the County Latin test and in the Co-unty Declamation Contest. Two of the class were winners in the Goodfellowship contest. In 1926 this class congregated in the halls of R. H. S. for the third time. Raleigh Phegley was again elected president. This year was a very successful one for this class. Their prom was a success-socially as well as financially. Three members won places in the Goodfellowship contest. Two took part in the County Latin test and many won R's in athletics. Forty have returned to R. H. S. for their fourth and last year as the guests of Rensselaer High School. For the third time they elected Raleigh Phegley president- thus showing their appreciation of his work as president. Two were elected as good- fellows, and several of the boys received R,s for their work in athletics. The visit of the class of '28 with R. H. S. has come to an end, and each must go out into the world to find a home elsewhere,4but carrying with him a tender memory of his high school career.
