There they mingled in the classroom, There they worked and played together In the years when hopes are strongest. In the years of happy childhood When life’s dreams are often made. From their classes rose these students, Bede farewell to all their schoolmates, Saying with a tone of sadness, � Ue are going, oh I dear classmates. On a long and distant journey To the portals of our life’s work, To the regions of Great Service; But the school we leave behind us— In your watch and ward we leave it.

Then there’s Mra. Stehiy, our principal loyal She's never at rest, but always at toil. As principal, v;e’ 11 confess, s.he’s equalled by feu Although, as e teacher, she's very good, too. And ’’Sandy' is dashing, yet sometimes so stern, He likes to have fun, but he thinks we should learn To behave and oe quiet, cut down on the noise, And go to our classes like good girls and boys. Miss Siebert is skilled a.. curinary arts She finishes every j'ob that she ‘sfa’f'ts. The piano she plays with „the.greatest of ease In '’phi-ed1’ she’s like the man on'the flying trapeze. Miss Brohaugh works hard—you'll all well agree She speaks the king's English just perfectly. She's got us all singing—isn’t it grand? Her Glee Club’s as famous as Goli’s band. And Goli's theme song v;e all Icnow very well, We don’t like the piece, but we think he’s just swell. In his classes and at band his likable way Makes him just tops —that’s all we can say. Miss Lund the cheerful nay be new, but she’s good, She's be on willing to help whenever she could, 3..e’s one tnat will staw.a by , and her heart is of -.old, No kiddin- , Miss Lunu—you've got us all sola. There's Cochran, kin; of subtraction anc such, He's a pretty nice boy, and we liae him so tuch, With a song end. e grin, he’s always gay, So give hi.i a hanq because—he’s okay.' ;.J. .1:'I o'-RAT I ON Joseph T.

Looking backward over a period of about twelve years, I seem to recollect a sunshiny day in September when thirty bright-eyed girls and boys, some bashful and some b®ld, entered first grade under the direction of Miss Ella Arnold. I wonder what our thoughts v ere on that first day! I imagine many of us hf ' an idea that it would be great fun to learn our letters and . :ed just like big sister or big hr . and others, though the idea of being cooped up ir v- room a.11 day didn’t appeal to us, probably we had heard of the many games thet were to be played and the fan to be had. Cur class at that distant time was composed of: Helen Arnold Esther Bendel Paul Blanchfield Harley Brunner Robert Burke Agnes Byboth Robert Chilson Winifred Cummings Arthur Ebner Vernon Ebner Eva Louise Grapel Bob Habberstad Stanldy Holland Lillie Honsey Helen Isberg Ruth Jaastad Verna James Vernon James Evelyn Jensen Sylvia Jensen Stanley Johnson � Elizabeth Julsrud Edna Kjos Luther Kjos Emer Knutson Gladys Knutson John Madson Clarence Olson Mildred Rocsler Dorothy Severud As the years went by, and as we gradually increased cur store of knowledge from our various teachers, cur class expanded at times and contracted at other times. Those who joined us between first grade and ninth grade were: Mary Budmon Byron Buross Helen Fossum Arthur Halvorscn Anita Hovde Archie Himilie Edna Jahr Junice Jensen Eleanor Johns Dorothy Johnson Eunice Johnson Dorothy Kingsley Bernice Humble Lloyd Humble Minerve Humble Norma Peterson Lorraine St. John Sylvia Thompson Dora Torgerson The following list is our class from first grade Paul Blanchfield Agnes Byboth Robert Chilson Winifred Cummings Arthur Ebner Vernon Ebner Eva Louise Grapel Mildred Helen Overby Thelma Overland Forrest Pauldon ‘ Harold Peterson Theodore Vigness Gertrude ’7oxland Gerhard ’7ox land composed of those who left to the ninth grade: Stanley Hoiland Lillie Hcnsey Evelyn Jensen Luther Kjos Emer Knutson Gladys Knutson John Madson Rocsler Years came «nd vanished fast, Grade after grade we passed, Till we attained at last Varied citatrns— Conquerors f Decimals, Vanquishers of Capitals, Ravagers of Ventricles, Bounders of Nations. At last we were promoted! From eighth grade to High School is a goal that is hard to attain except through endless struggle and hard study but we finally achieved the glory of promotion. Yet we were not without misgivings when we entered high school because we were not blind to the fact that Freshmen are alwys initiated. Therefore we were not surprised when ire were summoned by the superior seniors to come to the English room. Oh! those hardhearted seniors! The beys had to shine shoes beginning the next morning and the girls—well, some had to wheel doll-buggies with dolls in to school every day and take the dolls to every class, some had to wear four-buckled wvershoes and carry umbrellas to school every day, while others wore their dresses back-side front and different kinds of stockings and no jewelry. This was no easy task just to shew our inferiority; yet this went on, for more than four weeks. Eventually, as distasteful events always end, our period of torture came to a climax and on the evening of October 21, 1932, our superiors gave us our initiation party. In spite of all that was done to us by the seniors we gave a return party which was well attended. Of all the puoils of high school, the Freshmen are the most numerous end unimportant. Owing ta their extreme youth tnd the uneducated state of their minds, they arc an unassuming and industrious lot. On account of their proximity to the Rhymes their most striking characteristic is a vivid shade of green. That is a. clear description of our class which was composed of the following: Helen Arnold Esther Bendel Harley Brunner Mary Budmon Robert Burke Byron Euross Helen Fossurn Bob Habberstad Arthur Halvorson Archie Himlie Anita Hovde Bernice Humble Lloyd Humble Minerva Humble Helen Isberg Ruth Jeastnd Edna Jahr Verna James Junice Jensen Eleanor Johns Dorothy Johnson Eunice Johnson Stanley Johnson Elizabeth Julsrud Dorothy Kingsley Edna Kjos Cl- rence Olson Helen Overby Thelma Overland Forrest Paulsen Harold Peterson Norma Peterson Lorraine St. John Dorothy Severud Sylvie Thompson Dora Torgerson Theodore Vignoss Gerhard Toxland Gertrude 7 oxland And then:— Vie flunked, we crammed, we bluffed, we prayed, And when some question harassed, T7e sought our fellows timely aid— To find theiji, too, embarassed. Finally we received our hrrd-ocrned credits which nr de us Sophomores instead of insignificant Freshmen. A year’s distance from the Freshmen the Sophomores rove at large, as a grade are more brrbaric and warlike than their neighbors, the Freshmen, both because they remember the mortifications of the past year, and because it is their nature to be cruel. Moreover, the -oroximity of the Freshmen incites their primitive instincts. Of all the pupils of High School they are the mast inhuman, the most treacherous, the most insufferable, the most to be feared and shunned by the Freshmen. It was groat fun to watch the initiative party of the new Freshmen thrt ye:r. The Sophomore class was less in number than the class of the preceding year. Edna Jahr, Eunice Johnson, Helen Overby, Archie Himilie, and Gerhr-rd Fox land took their departure and did not stay with us during the Sophomore year. Next we became Juniors. The Juniors occupy that part of high school which lies between the Sophomores and the Seniors. Having re-ched years of discretion and because Gf their proximity to the Seniors, they are set a-grade deferential, studious, and ambitious. But, being overshadowed on the one hand by the Seniors and on the other by the Sophomores, their virtures are often underrated. The main event of this year, of course, was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was given by the Juniors. This year, 1934-35, y bs the season of the undefeated basketball team, with Arthur Helvorson and Harold Peterson on the team. Again we lock forward to tests or what is termed Of all the pupils in High School, the Seniors ore the oldest and wisest. On his account they ere en important end powerful gre.de, end exert an uplifting influence over all the High SchoolI Its component parts are twenty-six young mon and women, ranging from average to super ability. Sixteen of its component parts are charming Rnd demure. Ten are handsome and valiant. Its combined years are four hundred and forty-five, which is no mean ago, even in comparison with Methuselah. Consider the wisdom of a class that has seen four hundred and forty-five years! Empires have risen and fallen, wars have been declared and won, fads have sv ept the errth and died out since its eyes first saw the light of day! 7,’ith what an accumulation of experience and wisdom will it go forth into the world! Approximately, its combined brains would fill one hundred and fourteen tumblers. Is it to be wondered at that this class can discern no impossibilities through .its two score eyes and twelve? SEMIANNUALITIS Twice a year a pupil’s fancy Tensely turns to thoughts of tests 0! for someone to discover How to extirpate the pests. Sing e Song of Seniors, A Pocketful of zest, Six end twenty fledglings About to quit the nest.

Friday evening, May 15, we were summoned by the Junior Captains to come to the Northv estern pier—in other words, we were invited to the b? nquet where we had an excellent dinner. After the banquet we saw the show Lcve On a Bet which was very enjoyable. Class Day Exercises were held on M°y 21. Baccalaureate Services will be hold on the evening of May 24 with Rev. Stanley preaching the sermon. Commencement Day exeraises will be May 29 with the address given by Rev. Otterstad. In the future, we must look ever forward and not backward. We must nil strive to reach some ether goal than beyond our high school diploma. Till our Inst task was done , Till cur long race was run, Till cur far goal was wen, Bathed in clear glory.

I •f • I % • .i ' V • • • • , I THE FRESHMAN CLASS Y There were not many steps separating us from high school, but mere than we thought. I think the most of us had looked forward to high school and after we got there, v e were pretty big headed about it, until the Seniors began working on us. They certainly made a good job of it too. The boys' dignity was quite dented when they had to go barefoot in the assembly one day and next, they had to wear their shirts inside out and beck- wards. They really did lock funny.. I j y shouldn't laugh though, because the girls certainly weren't treated much better. 'I y V )Those long cottcn stockings and beltless drosses v;ere almost a nightmare, but the baskets weren't bad, because we could carry almost anything in them. Then when the upperclassmen were so generous as to give us a party we began to feel quite normal except that the boys suffered a shoe shining complex from which it will probably take several years to recover. 'Tell then as fall relied along some of the boys went out for football and basketball. Even though our boys lest to the Sophs we're proud of them and we won't let it happen again. There is also a good musical showing in the freshman class, with several band and glee club members. Several class meetings were held and at one officers were elected. They are as follows: President-------------------------Vernon James Five-President----------------------Karl B.yboth Secretary-treasurer-------Fay Hcbberstad Class advisers—Miss Brehaugh----Mr. Goli • • A ■W % I • ; In compliment to the upper classmen the Fresh gave a return party v hick was a glorious success. A radio program v;as given as entertainment. The German Band nlayod many musical numbers while lunch was served. But now our greenness has almost worn off and the freshmen are planning and hoping for a bigger and bettor year while they are Sophomores. We extend to the graduating Seniors congratulations and our best v;ishes for the 'future. We hope that the Freshmen class of next year can look back with as much pleasure and satisfaction over their first year in high school as we can.

It v;as a smaller number than had struggled through their freshmen and sophomore years together, 6 members having left our ranks, but it was a group of thirty-four students who, during the school year, worked V hard to bring glory to R.H.S. and to keep up its high standards. The Juniors are proud of their representation in extra curricular activities for the year. Football roused 9 junior boys to fight for R.H.S. They were: Paul B-anchfield, Paul Colbenson, William Jor ;ens, Robert Reishus, Joe Rislove, Charles Stephenson, and Oscar Vigness. Of the eight members of the basketball tournament squad, the following five were juniors: Paul Blanchfield, Norman Mindrum, Robert Reishus, Joe Rislove, and Henry Quarve. The two leads in the operetta were taken by juniors, Betty Iverson and Norman Mindrum. Dorothy Eggen represented the class in the declamatory contest . Four Junior boys and seven Junior girls joined the glee clubs this year. They were: Norman Mindrum, Paul DuMond, Kenneth Ekern, Ardell Johnson, Barbara Aim, Verna Dragvold, Betty Iverson, Tnelma Moran, Ruth Nordgaard, Olga Mae Scott, and Dorothy Eggen. The band interested the following juniors who played r it throughout, the year' Barbara Aim, Elide Brat land, Dorothy Eggen, Thelma Moran, Norman Ivlin-drum, and Robert Reishus.

Betty Iverson, president of the Junior Class, was the first captain, and welcomed the guests. The first mate was Byron Buross, president of the Senior Class who gave the response of welcome. The High School BoysT Quartette, named the Sailor Quartette for the occasion, sang two songs. Mrs. Stehly, the second mate, gave her speech in the form of a poem, giving a characteristic of every student in both classes. The entire party was given tickets to see Love On a Bet at the local Opera House. This is the poem that Mrs. Stehly gave as her speech: Juniors, Seniors and faculty Are aboard this clever boat, Let's cheer the Junior Captains Is our unanimous vote.

Paul Du Mond sings low-pitched tones, Of Eggen we speak with pride. Kenneth E. walks from the farm, To the school of which he’s fond, The neatest seam does Mildred sew, Small Frances prefers a blonde. Norma is a humble girl, While Betty Dodges neatly. Ardell J. wears spectacles, Does Audrey act discreetly? Caroline J. is Win’s best friend, Tall William is her brother, Elaine Marker does good work, Young Maynard saya, Why bother?
