CHAOS OF ’35 Three years ago, sixty-four self-inflated personalities presented themselves at the gates of the alma mater, and, with a flourish, signed their names as the class of ’35. To guide this wobbly crate, Frances Murphy was elected official pilot. On the next inevitable September 6, these more polished, slightly sub- dued, and much wiser students took their places as sophomores, and it was now their turn to look down upon the freshies. This year the class became ambitious and prom ptly joined all organizations and even went in for sports. The officers were Granville Hall, president; Delos Kanne, vice- president; Evelyn Fletcher, secretary-treasurer. One member of the class was a yell leader. This, the third year, has been no less exciting. At the annual brawl Ed Randle was elected president; Glen Toben, vice-president; and Herbert Strawbridge, secretary-treasurer. In December the class presented the play “Here Comes Patricia.” This year the class was represented by sev- eral members on the debate team and by two members on the yell team. In the play tournament they proved their dramatic ability by presenting the tragedy, “The Valiant”, which won first place. The annual prom staged by the Juniors was the social high-light of the school year. — Evelyn Fletcher. 19 3 4 Page twenty -four

CHAOS eisASS OF ’30 In the fall of 1932, there entered Rensselaer High the most remark- able class that ever tramped down the hall of the old building. This class was composed of one hundred eleven members, the largest ever to enroll. Under the guidance of Miss Greenham and Mr. Strole, with Ed Kurtz as class president, they entered into the various school activities and passed a most successful year. At the beginning of the second year Russel Rowen was chosen presi- dent of the class. His chief aid was Maurice Karnowsky as vice-president. Miss Greenham and Mr. Strole were chosen class sponsors. Again this year much fame has been attained by the sophomores. They usually had more names on the Honor Roll than any other class. Sev- eral members of the class joined the Rensselaerien staff, Debate team, Chaos staff, and Masque and Wig. Several boys in the class played in the school orchestra. Many of the girls joined the Sunshine Society and a large number of the boys joined the Hi-Y and the Future Farmers Club. The sophomore class also took part in the Play Tournament. They gave the play entitled “The Romancers”. The class was also well represented in athletics, both football and basketball. Probably the most notable achievement in this respect was the winning of the inter-class basketball tourney. From all indications, one of the most successful classes in her history will leave R. H. S. in 1936. — Marcia McColly. 19 3 4 Paye tiventy-six
