Hi-Tide IUNE, 1936 ROCKY RIVER, OHIO THREE CENTS CLASS OF '36 BIDS FAREVVELI.: LEAVES CALENDAR OF YEAIVS ACTIVITIES Seniors Attain Their Goal In the fall of 1935 approximately ninety- five students entered the senior class. Each had many and varying hopes and desires of his own, all unitedly strove toward one goalfgrad- uation. Now we have attained it! Let us turn in retrospection and see what we have accomplished in the past year. River's Spirit Unshattered By Defeat Although Riveris efforts in the line of sports brought, only a series of defeat as- suaged by several victories, the boys did not falter, but bravely plugged on giving their best. Ivhy? Because school spirit and good sportsmanship are so im-- planted in them that the idea of giving up was never con- sidered. IVhat a splendid example of steadfastness and courage our boys of '36 have bequeathed to next yearis reigning class! Dances Add Their Frivolous Moments The senior class sponsored two dances during the year. The Ivitches Iviggle, a Hal- lowe,en dance, a n d t h e Hatchet Hop proved to be such fun as to justify the time and effort spent in plan- ning each. The class consid- ered these dances to be of much Worth socially as each was a big success. The senior prom was a culmination of the social ac- tivities with lovely gowns, pretty girls, good looking boys, gaiety and laughter, and a swanky orchestra. Senior Play Adds To Class Laurels The class play, Once in a Lifetime, added to the class's reputation for versatility. The very fact that it in- volved gypsies added glamour and interest. The colorful costumes and new scenery plus excellent performances by the entire cast made it an outstanding project. The leading characters are pictured at the left with their able director, Miss Ivhite. Class Undertook Many Extras lNIany members of our class also distinguished them- selves by appearing in other outside activities such as the dramatic club play, Tony, the Convict, the operetta, The Governor's Daughter, the essay and speech con- tests, the senior forum, and the ping-pong tournament together with membership in various school organizations.

JUNIOR CLASS OFl H'N RS uniors NDER the leadership of their president, Joe Stoneburner, the Junior Class has had a spectacular year. Their first dance, called the '6Cranberry Jamw, was held in November, celebrating Thanksgiving Day. It was followed in December' by Junior Talent Night, judged to be a great success by both the audience and the treasurer. The program consisted of three one-act plays put on by the three home rooms respectively. Each home room also provided a skit between the plays. The Juniors started something new this year in the way of class rings. A crest was designed bearing an anchor and a lamp of learning besides the two t'R,s for Rocky River, one appear- ing above the anchor and one below. The same design is to be used by the next two classes on their rings, which will differ only in the shanks. The crest will also appear on the senior diplomas next year and on the drum in the band. The Juniors expect to give one more dance and a success- ful Junior-Senior Banquet. TH' li N TY- I-I IG l IT'
