Activities of 7-3 The 7-3 class is composed of children coming from different schools, including Lincoln, Kapalama, Aliiolani, Kaahumanu, August Ahrens in Waipahu, and from the schools in the mainland. There were meetings held. Discussions of the milk contest and giving prizes to the pupils who drank the most milk were held. Kenneth Powers, one of the pupils of the 7-3 class, who had good school spirit and drank 125 bottles, was re- warded with 31.00. The second prize was given to Wilson Bordner. who drank 112 bottles, receiving 50 cents. The third and fourth prizes were given to Vivian Nobriga and Eugene Todd, who received 25 cents each. Basketball was a game greatly favored in this class. We won from the other seventh grades, once from the eighth and twice from the ninth grade. Baseball is the game now being played. Different excursions were made to the pumping station, Hind-Clarke Dairy and the .Academy of Arts. Only part of the class could go to the pumping station and Hind-Clarke Dairy, but everyone 'went to the Academy of Arts. Activities of 7-4 One Friday in March our science class, the 7-4s, went with Mr. Hayward on a visit to the Hind-Clarke Dairy. Some of the pupils went with Mr. Hayward in his automobile and the rest went on the streetcar. There was a truck waiting for us at the end of the carline. ' On the way to the dairy we passed small truck farms and the Waialae Golf Course? At last we reached our destination. - The first thing we saw was the cows being washed. There were Holstein and Guernsey cows, which were the largest and healthiest we had ever seen. They were washed by men dressed in white clothing. The cows then passed to the milking room where they were milked by electricity and afterwards by hand. We then visited the, calves. There were about twelve. When a calfis born, certain men make a sketch of it so that it may be easily identified. After that we left them and went to look at the bulls. There were only three of them and all had rings in their noses. They looked very ferocious. 26

We then went to see the milk being capped and bottled. It passes through rubber tubes which lead to the coolers. From there the milk passes through the coolers and then into the bottles. The bottles are capped very fast. It is great fun to watch it. A cover, which protects the germs from settling on the caps, is later put on. It passes into a refrigerator where it is kept cool ready to be de- livered. The milk looked very good. VVe went to the office to get a drink of this delicious milk. lt was creamy and refreshing. Then it was time to leave, so we climbed into the truck and rode to the Kaimuki carline. Highlights of the Eighth Grades BY THE CI.Ass PREs1nENTs Susanne'VVhite says: The 8-1 class, or the 'Straight Eight,' was organized with Vera Morgan as president. At Hallowe'en and Christmas 'Straight Eight' gave successful parties. We then elected new officers: President, Suzanne VVhite: vice-president, Valentine Bloomheldg secretary, Ruth Ahrensg treasurer. Nora Meyerg sergeant-at-arms, Reginald Doyle: attendance keeper, Rhoda Soares, and Student Body representa- tive, Reginald Doyle. The class holds the seventh and eight grade championship for boys in bas- ketball and football. The coaches are Oliver Soares and Chester Blaylock. The class recently received their class rings and pins from Dawkins, Benny Co. VVe have taken trips to the sugar mill and to the legislature, which were very interesting. Members of 'Straight Eight' feel that they have done their share to working for a bigger and better Roosevelt High. Paul Vivas of 8-2 says: g At our first homeroom meeting we chose our name 'Na Hui Kokuaf mean- ing the 'Helpful Club.' We have lived up to our name very well. by giving to the welfare drive one hundred per cent and sending food to the distressed people in Kalihi during the fiood. VVe have conducted Brownie sales and candy sales for the benefit of the Annual and our own treasury. For recreation we had a picnic at Miss Murphy's home at Waikiki and another at the Public Baths. Every one agreed that they had a Kjolly good time.' Several interesting trips were made to the sugar mill, legislature and Hind- Clarke Dairy. We have played with other rooms in volleyball and football. Nane Aluli took first place in the junior Olympic games. Each pupil feels that he has done his share in cooperating with other students of Roosevelt in various feats and activities. Harold Stone relates: K'Class 8-3 was organized under the name of Co. OK and chose for the class colors Chinese-red and tan. Co. OK was the first class to give an assembly pro- gram and to subscribe lO0'X1 to the Rough Rider. Early in the year this peppy class sold pompoms of the Roosevelt colors. During the year Co. OK donated ten dollars to the Welfare Drive and to the Annual fund. Co. OK also conducted a food campaign for relief of the flood victims. In the hall of fame stands Alec Castro, who placed second in the Territorial finals: jane Bellinger, who took first place in the Territorial finals of the Pro- hibition Oratorical contestg Doris Benny, swimming star: Eleanor Bundy and Kay Miehlstein, members of the Roosevelt Negative Debate team. The members of Co. OK hope to go on through high school together and to keep up their splendid record by contributing to the success of Roosevelt in every way.,'. 28
