Many of the Seniors took part in the much praised Variety Show given by R. U. H. 5. at the Roozevelt Junior High Auditorium. Everyone who attended enjoyed this show immensely and about six hundred dollars was cleared much to everyone’s satisfaction. The athletic boys and girls kept up their good work throughout this year. ‘The Senior girls won both the volleyball and basketball interclass series and those who had not previously won them received numerals. The big event of the high Senior year was the publishing of the Senior Annual. Henrietta McCandless was chosen editor of this and certainly succeeded admirably. The Seniors planned a play to help pay for this book. The Seniors of ’24 have tried to do their best in everything throughout the four years spent busily and happily at Richmond High and they sincerely hope that they have left something worth while to those who come after them. Herewith concludes the hist’ry Of the class of ’24 Their work is done in Richmond High, Now in the world they’ll strive and try, They leave with hope and yet a sigh, For they'll be here no more. —K. H. ’24. The Junior Class The history of the class of ’25 began on the day of the Freshmen Reception when a crowd of green grammar school students poured into the study hall. The upper classmen put on an excellent program that was enjoyed by the eighth graders. Some time after these students entered R. U. H. S. a reception and rally was held for the purpose of educating them to the ways of the school. At this reception, Kenneth Matthiesen welcomed the freshmen and Jack Curran made the reply. A mock wedding was held—Henry Lexon, a freshman, was married to Kenneth Mat- thiesen, the President of the Student Body. The wood for the annual football rally was gathered by the freshmen. ‘That night they held a huge bonfire and the freshmen yelled themselves hoarse. By the time their sophomore year had started, the class of ’25 had settled down to work in earnest. This year it fell to the lot of the class to get wood for the rally again as the freshmen had moved to Gardner Hall, their temporary Junior High. At Christmas 1922 the Honor Society was organized. Quite a sophomores were on the honor roll. In the spring of 1923 the class of ’25 showed what it could do by helping to make the carnival a success. The junior girls won their numerals in Captain Basketball in the fall of 1923. The class of ’25 for the fall semester of 1923 had three student body officers: Ben Doidge, Commissioner of Law and Order; Harold Swensen, Commissioner of Public Utilities; Charles Jones, Boy’s Athletic Manager. ‘The commissioners belonging to the junior class for the spring semester were: number of Twenty Blue and Red
