F07'fy-f01-If The press room where noise and ex- citement and frantic hair-pulling is domi- nant during the day is on the great night the quietest room in school. There're two wrong impressions down there, too-all the teachers and students are smiling at one another just as if teachers never gave f1ves,' and students never chewed gum. December Students discover another lucky month. December gives presents and-vacation. A month of blessings! December, like july, is a month of such happiness, we can't mention it all. january One hundred f?j students leave Roosevelt for better or worse. And they, like every other graduating class, wonder what in the world the school will do with- out them-what a terrible place! The new Crimson staff with James Lail, George Chapman, Frances Pertosa, and Harry Miller learns the agony of No News ! With a turn-out of rooters, that would have given thrills to any yell leader and an amount twice as great as any other Oakland school, Roosevelt sees four basketball victories and one defeat. -The Technites hand Rosie her defeat as the first game with a score, I8-21. Univer- sity, McCly1nonds, Oakland and Fremont all, however, are forced to give the big end of the score to the Crimsons. Two Crimson heads, Captain Roberts and Singleton, win all--city places.

O. A. L. begins. Teddy loses to Tech Bulldogs 7-6. University does the same I4-O. The husky McClymonds wallop a 40-o score out of Rosiels varsity. Stu- dent body flocks to witness disappoint- ments. Spirit and moral victories scarce as snakes marcels. School dizzy. Girls' Issue, with Almquist, Dietz, Pertosa and Neuvohner says that a Tech man ran 110 yards for a touchdown. School wonders if he's still doing circles. Lepez, Lail, Butler and Halliday edit a yellow sheet. Adviser cuts yellow news . School students re- main innocent. Halliday selected as editor of this marvelously brilliant annual. All student body telling each other what they would have done if in the foot- ball boots of the Varsity Oakland game. Teddy lost 7-8. November Boys and girls allowed to feel very much at home on hick'l or Qld-Clothes Day . It will never be definitely decided which it is, for the boys call it Hick,s day and the girls call it Old Clothes day. The boys can not help calling it Hick's day-they did not have any older clothes than their usual school day cords, that like faithful dogs have followed them since grammar days. At the dance following the performances, everyone steps on his partner's feet and has a jolly time, dancing on some one else's shoe leather. Proud mothers and fathers came to school on Open House night, in order to see how little Apple-dumplingn gets to know so much. The folks go home be- lieving that the library is a place where the phonograph plays and teachers and students gather to exchange loving brick- bats , instead of a place of Sh-Sh-Sh ! F offty-three
