L30 THE R. H. S. ANNUAL The '07 Class History N the autumn of IQOS a number of brave youngsters, enduring the sufferings of High School begin- ners, entered upon a course of untold glory. They were called Freshmen and bore the name well. For a year they toiled to wear a knowing look in the eyes of their teachers and to receive their smiles and commendations. L When the first terms had passed, they had climbed a notch higher in their course. Then we see them as Sophomores using every effort to make their way to fame. With only a slight struggle the year passed with many a sign of greatness. They climbed still higher the ladder of learning, and became juniors Now, as they were more accustomed to their duties, they performed them, with surprising skill and ease. They were almost envied by the lower classmen. ' They stood upon this round but a year before they reached the height of High School students, a height attained only, when one receives the name Senior, Thruout their whole career, besides being diligent students, they worked earnestly to uphold the honor ofthe High School upon the athletic field. They were ably represented on the football, baseball and track teams. Do not think, because it was not mentione before, that they were not good entertainers. Their success in making the receptions, and social gatherings surely would convince one that they were. As upper classmen, they set an excellent example for their younger schoolmates. They spent the last year acquiring still greater advancement in learning in attempting to make their course a lode star for their successors. Now their only hope is that their future career may be as brilliant and prosperous as their past. With many feelings of regret they leave the grand old R. H. S. C. K. W. ,O7
