. | History of Class of ’23 In August, 19:9, a happy crowd of Freshmen entered R. U. H. S. with the prospects of a bright and brilliant future ahead of them. ‘This crowd is now known as the Class of ’23. Nothing very exciting happened during the first year. Every Freshman can claim having had a marvelous time. “They not only took an active part in athletics, but also in the affairs of the student body and the social life of the school. The first representatives on the student body from the Class of ’23 were George Olson, Commissioner of Public Utilities, and Evelyn Carson as Girls’ Athletic Man- ager. ‘“[his semester was the first trial of the new government. Many members of the class were charter members of the Dramatic Club, Library Club and the Debating Club. Harriet Fitzgerald was the first president of the Li- brary Club. In athletics the Sophomores were coming right ahead. Several of them had won R’s. During the Junior year the class had great success. Several of the class were elected on the Commission, and President Ralph Anderson was from the Class of ’23. During the same semester Helen Gately, Arthur Muth, and Harold Differding were Commissioners. “The next semester Harold Ditferding was president and the entire Board was made up from members of the Class of ’23. Those on it were Clarice Carey, Evelyn Carson, Francis Collins, George Olson, Keith Narbett and Blanche Carson. In putting over the Junior-Senior Banquet the Junior class showed what they were made of. It was one of the most original ideas ever worked out in R. U. H. 5. Everything carried out the idea of advertising including the stunt, “Follow the Arrow Follow the Man.” Steadily the Class of ’23 was becoming prominent in athletics. Morrison, An- derson, Olson, Muth, Hecker and Vargas made the unlimited basketball team. Muth, Morrison, Hecker, Zahinser made the baseball team. A! Rowe, Siple, Anderson, Brink, Heady, Roe and Olson were on the track team. Evelyn Carson, Bessie Geritz, Helen Gately, Arrietta Coon made the unlimited girls’ team, and Isabel McGregor and Hilma Johnson made the 125-pound team. As Juniors the Class of ’23 won their numerals in all sports except basketball, and as Seniors they won them in all sports. Girl Reserves were organized and several of our number were charter members, while they were also represented in the officers of the club. This year Evelyn Carson was president, and Ruby Williams was vice-president. This last semester Commission held Ruby Williams, Florence Clark and Newell Miller as members. George Olson was vice-president, but resigned to become presi- dent of the Honor Society. Blanche Carson is vice-president, and Harold Differding secretary of this society. The Class of 1923 took a very active part in the Carnival of 1923. The King and Queen, Willette Davis and Alec Morrison, were elected from the Senior Class. During the last semester Boyd Hecker was captain of the baseball team, and Arthur Muth of the basketball team. All together, the Seniors can say that they had a most glorious career of four years, and wish the same to the future classes.
