CLASS HUSTORY SoMETIME in the early part of August of the year 1922, a class was formed which was destined to make up the present graduating class. On that day there started from their homes to investigate the mysteries of school for the first time, more than one hundred little boys and girls. They did not all converge in the same place: in fact the places were widely scattered. The largest part started in the grammar schools of Richmond, others in Pinole, and still others in El Cerrito. Even this did not include them all, for throughout the United States, children came to school who were destined to graduate with the Richmond Union High School class of June 1934. It would be wrong to say that the whole of the class originated in August of 1922. for there were some who started as late as 1924, who will graduate next Wednesday. On the other hand, there were some who began earlier; how much earlier we would not attempt to say. For nine years these boys and girls grew up through grammar school and junior high, and were moulded finally into one big unit in August of 1931 when they became the sophomore class at Richmond High. The fine record they had made continued through their sojourn at Richmond High, and from the time of their entrance the class played a large part in athletics, dramatics, activities, and student affairs. One of the finishing touches was put on the class in the middle of its junior year when a loquacious young man from Healdsburg fell into our midst and in a year became the president of the class. This young man, James Miller by name, with the assistance of Jack Ryan as vice-president, Margaret Wolleson as secretary, and Norma Case as treasurer, has aided greatly in bringing the jour- ney of the class of 34 to a fitting close. This class, the largest ever to graduate from Richmond Union High School, numbers 172. There are 90 girls and 82 boys. Much has been accomplished by the class in the three years they have been here. Nine of the members wear platinum pins, eleven hold Block “R’s”, three have lifetime Student Body cards, obtained for athletic achievement; and two have been Student Body presidents. In spite of the business depression, under the leadership of this class Student Body memberships have increased. Another achievement was that of instituting home talent programs for the Student Body. The class is well represented in Jewel Davis and David Newsom, who were chosen as commencement speakers. Both have been members of the Honor Society and have been active in school life. During commencement ceremonies, Jim Miller will present to the High School the class gift, which will be a sum to be added to the fund started by the December °33 class, to purchase a name- plate for the school. Before leaving, the senior class has made plans for organizing an alumni association which will bring classmates together in the years following gradua- tion. But their high school life is almost over, and the class of °34 hopes it has left its mark of service to the Richmond Union High School. + ————
