PREVIEW AND REVIEW THE REVIEW r |“ HE senior class entered the portals of Roosevelt with an unsteady and suhservient pace—mere neophytes in the field of learning. It leaves with the satisfaction of having matured into a decorous and rcsjicctctl group of men and women. During this four-year sojourn students met many things that they enjoyed and probably as many others things that they disliked. Many members ol the class received the most pleasure from merely being seniors; in fact, over fifty per cent of the class stated definitely that their senior year was the most enjoyable they had experienced in high school. There were, however, two members who stated that the first four terms were most pleasant. Some seniors received the most enjoyment from participation in sports or from the attendance of football games. As for dislikes, the number was large and diversified; in fact, no one aversion was shared by more than two persons. Pedagogical reprimands, Hitler haircuts, taking notes, admittance slips, geometry, English, and gymnasium were each sincerely deplored by two members. Two affable souls expressed no dislikes, while one misanthrope evinced a hatred of teachers in general. There arc more factors in a student's career than attending classes, and every member of the senior class has some extra-curricular hobby, of which cycling, drawing, skating, and dancing have the most devotees. The intellectual range ol these hobbies range Irom collecting oriental art and playing chess to eating hamburgers and going to shows. The class seems to revere promptness in Irene Bogart. Marccil Young, William Tweed, Blanche Parsons, Paul 1 lanscn, Ruth Smith, Esther Spocrli, Florence McRae, Arlene 1 lorn, Roderick McNeil, Ray LcGall and Marion Grimm, who have never been tardy. There arc three who can boast of never having l cen absent or tardy. They arc Clyde I-oar, Alvcrta Nagl, and Alan Dean. The seniors present the encouraging prospect of over fifty per cent of the class definitely planning to attend institutions of higher learning. The greater number will attend Oregon colleges. As for professions, stenography, journalism, teaching, and nursing seem to Ik- the chosen vocations of many of the class. One rugged individualist believes there is a future in veterinary medicine. The present seniors seem to have |K-rmittcd their families to supply the necessities of life, for the only ones who even approach economic independence arc Charles Prentice, Jack Okazaki, and Clyde Loar. Some other arc able to supply their own clothing. One must realize that a student does not have any too much time in which to earn money. Now it is time for another senior class to fill the vacancy that we leave; but though our class shall Ik- only a memory, we defy anyone to dim the glory of the class of January, 937-

THE PREVIEW Hearken now, you readers, to this great prophecy And hear the revelation of each senior's destiny. Now, in some future circus the fat lady shall be Little L;iVerne Bilycu, so the fates decree; And then Irene Bogart is very surely meant To be the secretary of a future president. As he raised up the glass, Dale Brake-bill did say: “I’ve been a prohibitionist and so I mean to stay.” Rembrandt’s greatest rival, clad in cloak and tarn Will Ik- our famous artist, Chester Cunningham. Some futures will be promising and others will be dark. But a mother of ten children will be Naomi Clark. Working in Abydos in Asia’s sunny mist Will Ik discovered Alan Dean the paleontologist. And Marjorie, the Dominick, will to the title claim Of being the successor of Mrs. Simpson's fame. And Marjorie’s dear sister, whom we call Mara Lee, Of the Doughnut Makers’ Union the president will be. Also, Dorothy Eakin shall Ik a prexy, too, She shall lead the legions of the W. C. T. U. To the Isle of Bali Bali, a Baptist missionary, The Rooscvcltian doctrines Doris Earl will carry. In football and in soccer, plowing through mud and muck, Soon will be Frank Ferguson, the driver of a truck. Perhaps it will be very good, perhaps it may be worse, But the work of Marion Grimm is that of a private nurse. Soon an All-American will Chester I Ialiski be, Though probably carrying water for dear old O. S. C. Now, a very good singer is Pat Smith, dec dee, He’ll surely Ik the leading man of a musical comedy. To distant lands and places, Ruth Smith will wend her way, A foreign correspondent she will be some day. A double for Grade Allen will be Betty Soule, The radio fans without a doubt she could easily fool. As a connoisseur of liqueurs Harold Hansen will win fame, He’ll drink nitric acid when alcohol grows tame. In the field of mathematics Paul Hansen much will do; He will teach the subject at Minnesota U. The future of May Harrison will face a stringent test, For she has decided to emulate Mae West. Some with queer ambitions into the world are born, To ride in a derby is that of Arlene Horn. The editor of “Popular Mechanics Gladys Jermanis will be, To get rid of the magazine, she’ll have to sell it free. She’d better like the open air and the agricultural life, For Margret Johansen shall be a farmer’s wife. As for Bill Likins, he shall soon Ik seen Writing macabre articles for “Spider magazine. He’ll fly through the air with the greatest of ease, Will Roderick McNeil ere his sudden decease. Lynn Stark will stand on a highway waving a well-worn thumb, Such will Ik the future of this professional bum.
