CLASS OFFICERS President ---- - - ----- Richard Pickett Vice President - - - Harry Simmons Secretary ---- - - Kenneth Young Treasurer - - - - - Ronald Loon On September 7 the class of 1958 entered the doors of Richmond High School for the first time. They were a bit undecided at first as to just exactly what they should do and how they should do it, but soon got over this feeling. The Sophomores made them feel at home by giving them a welcoming reception they will never forget. This was held in the high school gym on October '7, 1954. A dance followed stunts. Music was supplied by Ronald Cloutier and his orchestra. The Freshmen are well represented in all sports with four girls playing basketball, five boys playing basketball and football, two boys and four girls participating in the band.

THE NEWCOMERS TO OUR COMMUNITY During the last two or three years we have had many newcomers to our community, These newcomers are White Russians--Displaced Persons. These Russians do not speak very good Englishg some of them don't speak any, But some of them speak as many as four or five foreign languages. And now you say, that is all very well, but here we speak English, Well, these people are learning to speak English too, but one must remember that the Russian alphabet is completely different from ours. These people have come to this country seeking refugeg for to them America is the 'Promised Land. We should not tum our backs to them just because their grandfathers did not come over on the Mayflower, or because they were not born in this country. We should welcome them with open arms just as the Statue of Liberty welcomes them as their ship sails into New York Harbor, for on that great lady are these words: 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to break free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore,send these the homeless, tempest tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. These White Russians have come to our community, they have bought farmsg many of which we had given up, thinking them worthless. They have cultivated them and made them produce, One need only to look at their headquarters to see a great improvement, A great many people do not like the Russians, They turn their backs and laugh at them because they look funny, Many people think they are communists, These Russians are not communists, in fact, they hate communism more than you or I do. For to you and me communism is not much more than a wordg we do not really realize what it is. Many of them have lived under it, They have worked in slave-labor camps, their children were bom in concentration camps, Oh yes, these people know what communism is, These White Russians make you and I better citizens. They make us realize and appreciate the great country in which we live, A short time ago a friend and I were arguing about these Russians and this friend said: 'Why don't they leave America to the Americans? I immediately asked this person, and I ask you, What is an American?
