SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS V Seated-Ruth Clough, Secretary. Stancling-Alfred Smith, Presiclentg Clark lngrahm, Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY . They Were Themselves And so they Were! Looking back over the activities that the members of the Class of '29 have engaged in, one cannot help noticing how different this group is from the others that have graduated from R. H. S.I Let's see just what they have done. In 1925, a young-looking mob of Freshies an- nounced their arrival. Prospects were very dim, but on-lookers could not see how full of hope and ambition they Were. With Herbert Leighton as president, Douglas Luckey, vice-president, and Chic Hart- man secretary-treasurer, they made their debut, only to find that in February they would be divided, as the Junior High sys- tem was being installed. Eighteen stu- dents led by Alfred Smith and Ruth Clough were sent to the new Union Junior High School. Here, they presented a one- act play, The Ghost Story, besides doing various other things to show their class spirit. The forty other students who were sent to Park School under the leadership of Herbert Leighton and William Bailey, were also very active, presenting the one- act play, Travelers. On Class Night, these 9B's combined again and marched in the annual parade. This was the last time a Freshman class has been included in this affair. So, at the end of the 1926 spring term, the class of '29 had fully initiated the new school system, being the first graduates from junior high schools in Rutherford.
