SENIORS ATTAIN GCAL The class of ’33 has at last reached its goal. For twelve long years the trials and joys of the student have been endured by us just for the sake of one event — graduation. It seems strange, but we have worked for twelve years just to be allowed to walk across the stage, receive a rolled piece of parchment tied with a pretty ribbon, say “thank you”, and resume our seats. Outwardly that is what we have done, but if all factors are considered, we have really accomplished some- thing worth while. The first unit of our life is completed and evidently completed with a fair degree of success. Since we first entered the pri- mary building on through the grades until this very year, we have been molding our character. Just as the very smallest traits and habits that we have acquired during these years affect our later life, so we should have made the most de- sirable habits that we know. Our class has been outstanding since we first entered the doors of R. H. S. as verdant freshmen. Our number then was one hundred, but we have lost some of our friends who started with us and now we have only seventy-three. All of us remember those first days of high school life. Somehow they seem to have been the most fun. Our joys and our fears were mingled into one grand ecstatic dream. We enjoyed the dream for a short time, but then we decided to obtain more material things. First, we received honors in the athletic line, then in the scholastic field, and still later in the social life of the school with the Junior Prom. Throughout our high school life we have led, and we hope to continue in the future in our own lives. We owe a great deal to R. H. S. and we are grateful for the pleasant and happy times which we have enjoyed here in school.
