T'was the year of 1921 It first laid claim to high school fun. It chose a sponsor, Olinger, And Abe was president to her. It acted thus for half a year, T'was time to change,---the custom here. Miss Stewart then she took her place, And gave us just a whole year's grace, Cause she was married you may know,--- We searched to see where a spon- sor'd grow. We looked in vain for a good long while, And then we saw Miss Spangberg's smile. Her smile, it won our hearts right , there, And has been our guide through many a care. Our Sophmore president, and a sin- ger too, Ellsworth Rainey,a character true, He left at the end of the Sophmore year, r Went to the farm to raise corn on the ear. 'Tis interesting to note the talent displayed Athletics aud music were ne'er in the shade. And from our class we had cheer leaders too,--- f Howard and Byron had all they could do!

I Virgil Roberts has attained great wealth and fame by being the , f inventor of a new system whereby the students cannot crowd each ' Q r other out of lunch line, and get in front of one another.

It is quite as famous as the-Hollywood was when I . gig? went to R. P. H. S. but since Jean's store has started, the Hollywood has had to discontinue business.
