By her happy face and winning way she was not long in becoming a fast friend of the Senior class. Virginia is very fond of writing poetry. Do her ins irations come from the front of the Senior Row-by George! l'll say they do! Virginia is not P only capable of making 97 on French examination but she also takes the lead in gym work. She would rather play basket-hall than eat olive sandwiches in study hall. She says little of her future but what- ' ' ' R. C B .

1919 Hcur115 uf Jliuanuke 55 Senior Class History When we blooming novices to High School did come, Prospects for us looked awfully glum, Old R. H. S, in the days of 'sixteen Indeed was a trying and fearful scene. But soon this scene of horror shifted,- We found ourselves to Sophomores lifted And when we were funiors, so pert and wise, Our importance, indeed, was hard to disguise. But now we're above these things so petite And have passed to loftier places more fit. We are slowly unloclfing the Cate of Life In spite of the absence of our dear Miss Critz. Flu failed to stop us on our march to success. And we've produced famous people, you no doubt must confess Our heroes in basket-ball, football and track, The vim and the pep did never laclg. We mustn't forget our Shakespeare class, There was many a scold and many a laugh! After watching Miss Heyward who showed us how We all should be famous actors by now. Our 'nineteen class had disadvantages threefold, But these only tended our will to mold, And as hoary Father Time moves swiftly on We,ll not forget High School and the days t'hat are gone. We've written this poem just to let you know Things that have happened in the Senior Rowg just to prove to you t'hat saying true, You can always do what you will to do. I-IISTORIAN. -
