Foreword During the last century unpre- cedented advancement has been made in- industry, and living stan- dards have been immeasurably elevated, yet comparatively little has been done relative to the es- tablishment of peace, the most important prerequisite for univer- sal happiness.

Qicflzre . . FAMILIAR VIEWS AND . . PEOPLE Dedication H. We dedicate this, our yearbook, to the faculty of Roosevelt High School, whose contribution to our lives has been a noble one: namely, guidance in the all-important ac- quisition of genuine character. Its endowment of practical advice gained from richer experience has greatly facilitated our advance- ment. In addition to knowledge, our contacts with the faculty have yielded us what is infinitely more valuable: instruction concerning the true meaning of progress, sin- cere encouragement in high ideals, and fraternal friendships.

Some- times their ambitions have con- quered themg oftener their yearn- ings have materialized in the form of progress. Without a doubt, the highest form of progress leads men to love their neighbors as themselves. It is reasonable to conclude that the acquisition of such mutual esteem is a necessary step in the further- ance of civilization, which can be made only through abandonment of selfish viewpoints.
