FuUSrORY Four years ago, when the mighty issue of the World War was at hand, a Freshman Class entered the R. U. H. S. The atitude of the World at that time was to bustle and work and to strive for great things. It was a serious time, and this Freshman Class, entering into their new life, caught that spirit, and retained it. The Class of ’21 has always stood for the constructive things in the school and its history is an interesting one. The very first “‘stunt’’ of the Class was its participation in the Rally. Each class offered some performance, and the Frosh, under Miss Ruth Roger’s supervision, gave a gala production called the ‘‘Leming Pie.’’ (Later complimented by ‘Mr. Tucker in the Assembly). It was a song and dance by Claire Adair and Lawrence Wright, who were dressed like Kids, and the entire class, similar- ly attired, was the chorus. And alas! Hazing was not yet ostra- cized, and our poor meek children were badly treated—per- haps they were the last to have this ‘‘honor.’’ MeLaugh- lin, MacDonald, and Greathouse started their career in ath- letics and were subs on the first: basket- ball team of 718. The class was or- ganized in 17, and has eleeted its offi- cers every year since, The Sophomore year was quite disrupted because of the closing of school during the long period of the ‘Flu.’ A noteworthy thing, however, was that two of our members were on Student Affairs. ‘‘Fran’’ and “ Ridge’’ were the Athletic managers for the two semesters. In °19 and ’20 many things happened. Pat MacDonald was elected Presi- dent of the Student Body, ‘‘Fran’’ was Yell Leader, and Phil de Luna and Sam Wagener were both on Student Affairs. The Cirls’ Club of ’21 was organized, and the class was guest of honor at the first Junior-Senior 3anquet. The class at this time stood hard and fast to back the Press Fund. and worked hard fo the success of the Circus given for its benefit. From ’20-’21 we had a second member of our class President of the Stud- ent Body—Hale Stoddard; Stanley MacDonald was made Major of Cadets; Claire Adair, Editor; and Laurie Wright, Yell Leader. The class again strong- ly supported the second Cireus and throughout has been a leading factor in making the Press a reality. Class members have taken lively interest in th e organizations in the school: Dramaties. Debating, Sports, everything. The Class has stood firm on the question of Self-Government, keeping in mind what would be best for the school. The short skit produeed by some of the mem- bers of the Class during Good Citizenship Week showed the attitude of the Class toward this. The Class of ’21 has made a fine record, and we feel that its members will aspire to unusual achievements mm the world to which it graduates. eee) Seas ——— OOS
