This, the Scribe tells us, is the opinion of the Junior Class. For the benefit of those students, commonly known as the Freshies,', and also for a group of uncivilized barbarians called Seniors,', Cthis term is used not because of merits earned, but because of the generosity of the teachersll, we wish to point out the great importance and signifi- cance of the Junior Class. lf Fate is kind, the members of said organization hope to graduate in 1933. However, before this tragic day arrives, many events will have taken place which will leave within every student a feeling of fond remembrance for the illustrious Juniors. During the past year, the Junior Class has had the pleasure of sponsoring for the Student Body, three most delightful dances. The most successful of these was the Chinese Garden Ballet. Several novelty dances were offered and unique prizes awarded, with John Militano acting as Master of Ceremonies. The success of this dance, we modestly admit, was due to the well-organized work of the class members. In the inter-class track meet, held in March, the Juniors came in a close second fonly a trivial difference of forty pointslj Due to certain reasons, such as bribing the timers, apple polishingf' and the like, the Seniors placed first. True to their ideals of sportsmanship, the Juniors cheerfully paid the penalty of the defeated by cleaning the fish-pond. When the Senior Play, K'The Patsyl' was presented, it was the Juniors who boosted the ticket sales to insure its success. But there's a reason ll' Our Prom and our graduation expenses for next year depended upon the profits thus derived! CRAFTY JUNIORS l 'fwcnty-Five

A. Otto Vacation over! A sound of the gong and Roosevelt's Student Body of some thir- teen hundred trekked back to the ranks. The hurried bustling of the students and an atmosphere filled with activities have become a daily occurrence with us. Our athletic teams gained losses and sustained victories on the gridiron, court, track and diamond. We are certainly proud of the fine sportsmanship displayed by our boys. Glad, are we, too, that a leveled field, turf, curbed track, and other im- provements will be Waiting to greet our athletes when they report for duty this coming school term. Thanks to our Student Body! Our year has certainly been crowned with well-spirited co-operation between the school and the P. T. A. How we helped them put over the Turkey Dinner and the big Carnival Dance! They were both grand successes! The Student Body deserves also a lot of thanks in working with the Music De- partment of our school. We bought over six hundred dollars worth of instruments for rental purposes. Then, our big inter-class Track Meet-thrills, noise, music, gasping moments, fiying colors were all there in a big way! The Seniors walked home with the banner and the Juniors cleaned the fish pond-what a day! 1931-32 marks another milestone for Roosevelt, and the names of Roy Clemens and Bill Hall march into the Hall of Fame, carrying with them emblems representing the finest of leadership as our Student Body Presidents. Well, our space is filled, but long shall we remember the gay days filled with athletic school contests, school plays, turkey dinners, carnivals, and School dances, we have enjoyed during this past term. HAPPY VACATION! Twen'ty'Four
