THE CHAOS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Evelyn Hoshaw Ed Loy Maurice Courtright Miss Sprague and Mr. Holt Colors Motto President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer — — Sponsors — Green and White Labor Omnia Vincit On September 7, 1928, ninety-six Freshmen entered Rensselaer High School. As is usual, there was a greenish tinge to them that was very much in evidence, but as time passed this .color gradually faded until only the most critical observer was able to detect it. At the first meeting Bob Sigo was elected president, and this choice proved to be a good one. Sev- eral Freshmen were on the athletic teams, the Chaos and Rensselaerien staffs, in tht band and orchestra, and one member won the County Latin Contest. The Sophomore year proved that the Class of ’32 was an outstanding one. Ed Loy was chosen president this year, which was marked by the winning of the County Oratorical Contest by a Sophomore, the selection of several members for the Masque and Wig and Hi-Y, and two members for the debate team. The Chaos and Rensselaerien staffs included many Sophomores, and there was an unusual number of boys on the athletic teams. Howard Randle led the class to many honors during our Junior year — important positions on both the Chaos and Rensselaerien staffs, many places on the football, basketball, and track teams, the presidency of the Masque and Wig, the girls’ basketball championship, places on the debate team, and in the oratorical contests. However, our class would have fallen short of the ideal set for it if we had failed to put on the “best ever” Prom. This went over in great style, and all declared it was the best yet. And now we come to this, the final year, which we have reason to believe has been the best of all. Our class has always been noted for its orators and this year has been no exception. Our debate team won from the state champs, M. J. Myers won the County, District, and Zone ora- torical contests, E. J. Strickler won the County, and District essay con- tests. Both these girls went to the state contests. The Chaos staff con- sisted almost entirely of Seniors and the other organizations were composed mainly of Seniors. Our class also won the class basketball championship, a fitting climax to four years of leadership in athletics. The Senior play was declared to have been one of the best ever presented by a graduation class. Our class roll includes seventy-one names, the largest class ever to graduate from Rensselaer High School. (Twenty-one of these people have been together from the first grade, an unusual item worth noticing.) We believe that we have left a record worthy of such a class in scholarship, athletics, and social activities, and that succeeding classes will have to go far to better that record. 1 9 3 2 --- Page nineteen
