The Class of ’24 Read here the record And the deeds of ’24. ‘They’ve kept the standard Of the classes gone before. The Senior Class of 1924 entered Richmond Union High School in the year (920, bringing with them the seeds of talent, hard work, and true spirit, which during four busy, happy years have blossomed and borne fruit. The results of these years have broadened the vision, enlarged the understanding, and fitted this Senior Class for responsible positions in the outside world. Here is the record of the deeds by which the class benefitted itself and, we hope, others. Especially may the classes who come after be helped by the accomp- lishments of this class. The Freshmen year, 1920, was one of the most eventful years in the history of R. U. H. S. A printing press was badly needed, and after some exciting weeks of rehearsing, a wonderful circus was given which brought in more than enough money to pay for the longed-for printing press. A group of Freshman girls put on an old- fashioned stunt and a Japanese stunt. Others of the class took part in and added much to the success of the circus. It was this year that the Library Girl s’ Club was organized and several of the class were members. During their Sophomore year, the class of 1924 grew in prominence. Many of the athletic toys began their careers in this year. Samples, Cornell, and Concannon were members of that famous football squad, the Richmond Wrecking Crew of 1921. ‘This wonderful team won every game except one and another which was tied. “The boys representing ’24 certainly did their part in winning thece victories. Carroll Pitchford and Claude Samples made the track team of 1922, while George Cornell made the baseball team. On the basketball teams were Cloyd Laughlin, George Cornell, and Archie Higgins. Cornell captained the 130s. All of these boys worked hard and put all of their spirit into everything they did. On the Girl Reserve Cabinet were Alta Mayfield, as secretary, and Nell McGrew, as treasurer, both of whom represented the Class of ’24+ very well. The Girl Reserves was a new club and many ’24 girls were charter members. In their Junior year the Class organized with the following officers: George Cornell, president, and Claude Samples, vice president. Not long after organization, the class held a very enjoyable old clothes party in the band house. About this time the Honor Society was organized and four of the class of ’24 received gold pins. “his was great honor to the class as these four people were charter members of the society. Eunice Eggerth was chosen president. Football was going fine this semester and the team was filled with ’24 boosters, many of whom had won their R’s already. In Auguct of this semester R. U. H. S. had the singular honor of winning fourth place in the State High School Shoot at Leona Heights. Students on the team representing ‘2+ were Cornell and Samples, both having high scores.

All the live wires of the class of ’2+ were in the meantime filling the clubs of R. U. H.S. and building them up with strong and talented material. In their High Junior semester several of the class were officers of the Student Body. Clarence Rutledge made a fine record as president. “The other commissioners representing ’24, Helen Carpenter, Girls’ Athletics, and Wesley Compton, Public Utilities, performed their duties admirably. The officers of the class this semester were Claude Samples, president; Virginia Camptell, vice-president, and Marjori Donnenwirth, secretary-treasurer. In April the Junior-Senior Banquet was held. ‘The gym was beautifully decorated to represent a Japanese garden and an interesting program, also Japanese, was put on. Everyone had a most enjoyable time. In April also occurred that grand event, the Big Carnival of 1923. ‘This was certainly a wonderful success and many of the class of ’24 aided in the clearing of five hundred dollars, some of which went to pay for a linotype saw to go with the printing press. Athletics were coming right along. Campbell, Cornell, Bowman and Lee were on the unlimited basketball team and Raymond Clark on the 130-pound team. Cornell was also on the baseball team. Pitchford, Samples, and Zanhiser were on the track team. Alice Maloney, Virginia Campbell, Bernice Mills, and Davilla Theis made the ls unlimited basketball team, and Helen Carpenter and Isabel Mino made the 5-pound team. All of these girls won their R’s. gir iZ The grand and glorious Senior year now hove into view. The officers of the class were Cloyd Laughlin, president; Isabel Mino, vice president ; and Paul Robinson, secretary-treasurer. ‘The class of ’24+ was represented in the Student Board of Commissioners by Alice Maloney, secretary-treasurer and Hazel Olson, vice president. The Girl Reserve Cabinet was made up almost entirely of ’24 girls, with Eleanor Robison, president ; Alta Mayfield, vice president ; and Katherine Hutchison, treasurer. Helen Carpenter, ’24, was elec ted editor of the Hi-Nus and the paper was certainly a peppy one all during the year. The football team did splendid, consistent work and was captained by “Doug” Gray, ’24, who knew his game well and made a fine, aggressive captain. The Honor Society had developed into a lively, efficient club with Eunice Eggerth, of the class of ’24+ as president. Eunice and Helen Carpenter at this time became the proud owners of platinum R’s. The Senior girls followed the old custom and organized a club. The officers were Virginia Campbell, president; Phyllis Carlson, vice president; and Alice Granger, secretary-treasurer. Not long after organization the girls were entertained at the Quinine Inn of Hercules. The Pinole girls were hostesses and because it was a Hallowe’en party, a mysterious and exciting time was had. In November the Senior class enjoyed a Hallowe’en party and in December they held a Christmas kid’s party in the band house. The Seniors who came to them, found both of these parties great fun. The Senior Class officers elected in the last semester were: Clarence Rutledge, president; Helen Follett, vice president, and Alice Maloney, secretary-treasurer. ‘The last semester was a very busy one for the Seniors. Senior students represented in the Student Body officers were Mildred Blome, Blue and Red Nineteen
