Mary Dryden Vice-President ........................... Ralph Schmidt Secretary-Treasurer ........................ Hulda Knake According to the provisions of the constitution new officers were elected for the second semester: President ............... ..... O ma Aeschliman Vice-President ............................. Paul Reutter Secretary-Treasurer ....................... Anna McCray Programs were given once a month to encourage enthusiasm for liter- ary activities, consequently, when the time for the literary contests arrived there were quite a few entrants. Erma Landes, Dixie Schmidt, Velma and Viola Freidinger represented the society in declamation at the Inter-Society Contest where Miss Velma Freidinger placed second and Miss Schmidt third. Earl Brenner entered solus into the oratorical field, representing the school at the Sub-District, Whippet Six, and County Contests. Mary Dryden was our extemporaneous representative at the Sub-Dis- trict and Whippet Six Contests. We Roosevelts are very glad that we were victorious this year and we surely hope we will continue to be so. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? ? ? If Avanell bought a mule would Paul Reutter? If Hulda is worth a million dollars what is William Farnsworth? If Freshies are green is Eva Brown? If Ruby King brought sandwiches for a party what would Leona Hasselbring? When Mary Dryden made a foul in basketball, Helen Koester. If William Beer and Chet Hofman came to school in an aeroplane would Erma Landes? If Dale Zbinden hoed for Lavonne Carlon who would Jesse Hofer? If Nellie Sites would be a clown what would Joe Beebe? If Walter Barth is short is Isabelle Siebenthal? If Ralph Schmidt is a poor fish is Ethel Salmon? If Henry Aeschliman is a dwarf is Olga Laubscher? If Oma Aeschliman is studious is Eunice Frank? If Cluver's girl has Saint Vitus Dance what has Ralph Scott? If Anna McCray was queen would she make George King? CAN YOU IMAGINE: Joe Beebe not getting kicked out of school? Walter Harweger not fiirting with a teacher? Mary Dryden being serious in lawclass? Ralph Schmidt without a girl? Earl Walder and Nellie Sites in love? forty
