Reading from left to right-Gaspar Rusich, Ruth Eichar, Jimmie McMullen, Mary Atwood, Cappy Kramer Student Government In the days of early California history when San Francisco was known as Yerba Buena, the docking of a vessel, which had to come clear around Cape Horn, as there was no Panama Canal, was an event of great importance. Everyone went to the dock to greet the voyagers, get the news, and rejoice over a journey safely completed. A school term resembles one of these old ocean voyages, and the school, the ship. If we consult our ship's log, we will discover that the good ship Roosevelt will dock in the Port of Vacation the latter part of this week, and will not sail again until january Sth, 1931. Mr. Shallenberger, Mr. Huffman, and Miss Engle have piloted this vessel through all squalls and storms at sea. For the past ten weeks, the ship has been captained by Jimmie McMullen. Gaspar Rusich kept order on the boat, and the ship's log was carefully kept by Ruth Eichar tsecretaryj. The first mate, Mary Atwood, chief of the supply department, guarded the rations care- fully ttreasurerj, and Cappy Kramer gave the crew their daily exercises, and took charge of the sports on board the vessel tathletic managerj. Now that another voyage is nearly over, we look back with pride to a happy, interesting, worth-while trip, and wish bon voyage to the H9ls, who will be leaving us soon for a three-year cruise on the good ship High School. 1Oll

'iWhat is this Christmas party about which there is so much whispering, laughing, wrapping of packages in bright holiday dress, decorating of the tall Christmas tree, and planning of decorations and party refreshments?'l you ask. Any girl would be eager to answer that-it brings the Christmas spirit very close-it means happiness given to over fifty little children who are entertained by the Girls' Association at the annual Christmas festival. Everybody helps-the Sewing Department, the Cooking Classes, the P. T. A., the Honor Society, The Shops and a score of others. And busiest of all, is Miss Engle, vice principal and dean of girls, as she rushes from one department to another making suggestions and superintending this annual Christmas festival. The Association dues of five cents per girl help buy presents for the little guests. Each girl who is chosen on the entertainment committee, is assigned a certain number of children to entertain and it is her duty to see that they have a good time. And do they? Well! just drop in to one of our Christmas parties and see for yourself. Every girl at Roosevelt is now wearing the school uniform of pleated navy blue or white skirt, and white middie with navy blue collar and cuffs. The girls are proud of their 100'J uniform record. Under the direction of the social chairman, Linda Roberta, several amusing and entertaining programs have been given. And so throughout the term, the Girls' .Association enjoy good times, and participate in bringing happiness to others.
