Secretary IRWIN SHUGERT ...... ........ . . ..... Treasurer Four years ago, in September 1926, over one hundred and eighty F1'esh- men-extra verdant-entered Rochester High School for the first time. We resolved to make ours the best class in the history of the school and to leave a record better than any before. If you doubt our success, ask any Senior. Naturally, we don't want to brag, but Que Faire P , which is an appropriate French expression that we dare you to translate. The amount of knowledge we gained is astounding. When we entered high school, we didn't even know that two minuses make a plusg now we know that two minuses make a plus. As Freshman we participated in all the extra curricular and the social activitiesg academically, we were unequalled. You can believe it or not, but almost half of our class had to be warned not to study so much, as it was feared we might ruin our health. As Mrs. McCoy's favorites, we progressed rapidly and the term was ended almost before we knew it. Back in school again as Sophomores, we went through our second year too fast to have any time for fun. The honors of French and Algebra over- whelmed us. The members of the Latin classes, however, soon developed into excellent horsemen, for they surely could handle those ponies. i Our first real effort at making money came when we were Juniors. We held a bake sale and financed a reception for the in coming Freshie. We next devoted our attention to earning enough money for a prom. We sold magazines, candy, and play tickets, and spent it all in one evening on a prom at which even the faculty had enough to eat, which means that it was some party! We also began to devote more time to the school activities. VVe had representatives in football, basketball, track, orchestra, chorus, clubs, and Oracle staff. With such versatile members we felt quite confident that as Seniors we were bound to be successful. In our last year, our efforts have been devoted towards financing this annual. We have sold everything from souvenirs to hot dogs to get the neces- sary funds. The year book has taught us persistence of effort, it has given us determination and purpose, it has-anyhow, it's a swell idea. The annual though it has taken a major portion of our interest, was often replaced by other activities. We gave the Sophomores a party, conducted literaries, and produced a play. The Senior class is certainly prominent in every activity in the school. I Even if no one else predicts success for us, we can do so ourselves, for there isn't anyone who can truthfully say that he has received nothing from high school. We hope that we will always remember the good times we had and the knowledge we have gained. -RUSSELL WALLACE, '30. Ttven ly- nine
