Foreword We know that our school is not run-of-the-mill, We have always turned out accomplished scholars and great teams. We also know how to stage stunning musicals, give great banquets, hold tremendous balls. We are veterans of student government, producing leaders by the hundreds and spirited citizens unnumbered. But theseare not the things which make our school unusual. It is something less tangible, yet powerfully pervasive. It is the distinctive atmosphere that comes with the habit of accommodating many viewpoints, the willingness to live and let live, the absence of snobbery, the lack of infighting and intrigue, Because of these qualities, students have always felt deep affection and loyalty to Richmond Union High. Inevitably, this extraordinary spirit of Richmond pervades the whole of this and any Shield. But the Shield staff wanted particularly to zero-in on this Richmond spirit by means of certain symbolic pictures. These pictures we have used for the Division pages. We are very proud, for example, of the great (aerial) view of the campus shown on the inside covers, which vividly shows, we think, the largeness and complexity of our school. All of on er the other pictures such as the Rock, the Trophy wR Case, and the seniors in middies and Bermudas, MIE TIIG convey, in one way or another, something of the eal ite Od style and air and solid background of our great congested, democratic, good-natured, busy hive of learning. By making, as it were, a tour through this humming, producing world ofRich- mond Union High, we have created not only something of a tour de force in high school year books, but also a startling memorial to democratic education.
