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

CHAOS CIFASS OF 32 On September the eleventh, nineteen thirty-three, sixty-four fresh- men entered Rensselaer High School. This class was one of the smallest in recent years, but it made up for its smallness by being very active. Soon after school started, a class meeting was held with the class sponsoi s, Mr. Bundy and Miss Kresler. Hank Hoover was elected class president, Maltha Halstead, vice-president; and Wayne Comer, treasurer. Gold and black were chosen as class colors. The freshmen showed fine spirit in making a class flag and giving a party in the high school gym. Several boys went out for football, and three received minor letters. A freshman basketball squad was organized with Mr. Terrel as coach. This team played five games, two of which were out of town. The freshmen were represented in the Hi-Y, Rensselaerien Staff, Sunshine Society, Home Ec. Club, Chaos Staff, Masque and Wig, and Future Farmers Club. The freshmen are proud of the large percentage of their members who have won places on the honor roll. — David Yeoman 19 3 4 Page twenty-eight
