The class of 1930 from the first has had the reputation of being the brightest OJ and most orderly GJ class that ever passed through the high school doors. During the time we were those little eighth graders and freshmen, probably no one realized our own importance so much as we ourselves did. Oh! the mysteries of those first class meetings when Ellis Hopkins, our president, deported himself so ably. At those times we planned our class parties which were so well UQ attended! But with the help and advice of Miss Huber and Mr. Bundy we have succeeded in conducting and attending them better during our sophomore year. As sophomores our dignity and calm demeanor has been unequaled. We have looked with half disdainful amusement upon the antics of the freshmen. Our class was well represented in athletics and one of our girls had the leading role in the operetta. We pass with haste over the memorable times when we were called to the ofiice to receive praise UQ for our excellent behavior in the halls and class rooms, and to receive our don'ts for the future. All things come rozzncl to him who will buf wait. Page Twenty-tlwev

During our freshman year one of our group won the county Latin contest, and one of our boys took first place in the Goodfellowship contest. In our sophomore year we had several men on the varsity team. One of the girls had the lead in the operetta, which is quite an honor for a sophomore. One of our members again won the county Latin contest. This year we entered R. H. S. with sixty-seven juniors. Many honors have been added to the list. Several had leading parts in the operetta, and many of our boys par- ticipated in athletics. One of our girls won Hrst place in the local vocal tryouts. Another one of our girls won second place in the Goodfellowship contest this year. Our class is full of pep',, and we plan to do more than our bit to bring honor to old R. H. S. Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Page Twcilty-two

Sponsors-Miss Allison and Miss Van Deripe. Our Motto-Vincit qui patitur. Colors-White and Gold. Flower-Rose. We entered with a blaze of glory As all the Freshies do, But not without some strong misgivings As to the courses we would pursue. Latin and algebra and French All held their fears for usg But through the semesters Welve plodded, Because we knew that we must. And now that our year is 'most over- A successful year, We think- Although our number is somewhat depleted, We're not quite ready to sink. FLORIS ARNOTT, '31, Little brooks make great rivers.
