HICH SCHOOI X CLASS HISTORY OUR years ago we started our pilgrimage to the city of Graduation by wagon We had four huge wagons with a quantity of straw in the bottom of each for these were old fashioned sprlngless wagons One hundred and sixty braved the venture and our wagons were driven bv the officers whom we had selected before starting James Paiste President Raymond Jefferies Vice President Louise Simpson Secretary and Anna Stark Treasurer After crossing a long covered bridge fwith windows on each sidel we entered a very quaint village where we stopped to sell our magazines We were quite successful or at least we thought so However we have been told quite often since that we were green then We traveled for a few days over some high mountains The roads at this part of the Journey were rather bad and because we were so shaken and Jolted we thought that we were entitled to a rest when we reached the Town of Declamation Contest We chose Stephen Magxll Margaret Mink and Mary Winsmore to represent us in the contest that was to be given in the town hall in a few days Before the day arrived however Mary Winsmore became sick and Margaret Bloomer took her place W dlrdn t win the contest so we won t dwell on it but pass on to more pleasant t ings We remained two whole long months in Vacation City to view and experience all the wonderful things there Before we continued our Journey we elected new leaders for our band fwhich had dlmlnlshd a great deal from the original one hundred and sixtyl Stephen Maglll President William Streit Vice President Blanche Fulton Secretary and Anna Stark Treasurer Now we were ready to weather more bumpy roads long hills and stony brooks We were getting hardened to the open road for we traveled for almost three months without making any long stops. It was about this time that we decided to sell Christmas cards so we took our time to canvass the vicinity of Christmas Town with our small decorated boxes. We were received so hospitably that we remained there for the holidays. We resolved to edit a paper Sophomore Highlights which became popular in a very short time. Because we enjoyed these class papers so much ourselves we continued to print them with the small printing set that was always carried in the baggage wagon until we reached Gradua- tion. Blanche Fulton Herman Muehsam and Wilson Hoopes took charge of these papers and Cornelia Verhey designed the covers for them. Madeline Cox Margaret Laird and Margaret Mink were the speakers in the next Declamation Contest. Margaret Mink won the individual prize and was presented with a school pin. Toward the end of the second year we caught up to the rest of the inhabitants of R. P. H. S. who were also making the pilgrimage. We all had a vacation together presenting the play The Amazons. Those from our class who were included in the cast vuere: David Bonnet Margaret Mink and Mary Winsmore. L ....9 T11 irfrfn
