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.

Tag day or debaters' day, sometimes known as Election day, caused feverish excitement. McPherson takes presidency followed by Halliday and Rinehart. March March comes with more rain to gladden the hearts of the baseball heroes, all fraring to go, led by Captain Al Rego. The track boys and Captain Buck Baker discover that they are slow, having no living capacity, slow on the pick up, bad at distances, putrid at shot, dashes and miserable at everything in general. CT'he coach then gets tired.j April April proves a month of noises. First is the operetta, The Fire Prince, trying to discover talent among a thousand willing soprano howls. It is found, however, and appreciated by even the mute, who can feast his eyes on settings and elaborate costumes. A dismal noise is heard when the Macs defeated Rosie's swatters, 6-4, but it soon vanishes when Uni. gives Teddy an 8-4 victory. The other noise is more pronounced, being on VVhat boys think of girlsv in the Boys' issue of Crimson, presented by Chapman, Lail, Halliday and Jones. May A screaming success is the Girls' Issue issued this term, according to the boys it is more of a scream than a success. Pertosa, Neuvohner, Bunneke and Alm- quist contort the successful scream. Girls discover, much to their sadness, that all of the charming baseball and track stars are not as light, fast, and spectacular for else too spectacularj on the dance floor, as on the field. Outside of that regret, many corns are traveled on, during Second Dansant. june June is a month of wonders in school, and though there are only IQ days of it-it is crammed with joy, and tears. Joy because vacation is near, tears because report cards tell said tales. One hundred and fifty-three intelligent, wise, intellectual, brainy, almost super- human individuals gain a chest expansion of from ten to thirty inches, and so we discover that the pen is mightier than athletics. It was the diplomas that cause the Hercules development. The Senior Ball is a success among successesg those who donit dance comment on the other fellows, garb. A week before the ball, many noses get out of joint from Of Course I'm going to the Senior Ball. Then june also sees the completion of this red, red Lariat. F01'fy-six
