NINETEEN TWVENTY-FOUR MIRROR Junior History N the year 1921, there appeared at Old South High a younger edition of the present Junior Class. In our freshman year little happened beyond humiliations and most embarrassing moments suffered at the hands of certain Seniors, sundry marks in the same condition as the Ger- man mark, and such like-trivial matters at best, though they loomed overwhelmingly important at the time. Then, too, signs began to dawn of the great intelligence that we have since developed. Yet many were the occasions when we fooled so feelish that we acknowledged ourselves to be the dumb-bells we used to was. Ah, them days is gone forever l That's all ancient history now! Through some kind miracle of Fate, we managed to enter the dignity of being sophomores with few losses from our number. In that eventful second year, we entered our new quarters. -VVe left South High with some regrets, to be sure, yet in a short time we unconditionally surrendered our allegiance to Roosevelt High School. Such young hearts as ours were are easily mended. Now indeed did we begin to prove our mettle. We took our rightful places at the head of school activities and, gave of our best to our school. Even at that early date, our class supplied Roosevelt High with much of its ability and talent in athletics, dramatics, music, and the regular sub- jects of the school curriculum. After our 1923 summer's vacation, we returned to greater triumphs and endeavors. During this, our Junior year, the class has organized and has elected its officers. The honor of being president of the class we have given to Palmer Nelson, that of vice-president to Edward Gervais, that of secretary to Agnes Rasmussen, and that of treasurer to Dorothy Logan. This organization of the class has made possible a Junior sup- per, a costume party, a Junior-Senior prom, and other social events, as Well as increased, endeavors in other lines. In looking over our achievements, we find that the Juniors contributed much to the successful production of such entertainments as Come Out of the Kitchen and The Bo's'n's Bride , that many of our leading athletes are Juniorsg that members of our class are leading many of the the various school activities, that the Zenith Standard staff is made up of Juniors, that, with one exception, the lVlirror staff is also made up of members of our classy that-well, so on indefinitely. At any rate, seek and ye shall find that the Juniors are the real leaders of the school. Our hopes for the future are of as great significance to our school as are our past achievements. We hope to build for this school such tradi- tions and ideals as will make honor, courage, honesty, courtesy, and no- bility in every way the foundation for the future greatness of Roosevelt High School.

THE ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL ,What Do They Mean? SENIOR is a name frequently used to describe the self styled aristocracy of a high school. In truth, A Seniors are the partly civilized portion of the student body. At Roosevelt, there are few specimens of this tribe, but these few are very dangerous. The males of this tribe are sometimes called shieks or ucakeeatersf' These may easily be recognized by their well greased hair and their smooth manners. Also, if one dares observe them closely, he will see dark circles around their eyes. This is probably due to the strange cus- tom of sleeping all day and staying out all night. The males are usually very large in stature. Because of this, they are very vain. ' The females are, perhaps, more dangerous than the males as they sometimes drive men to ruin and destruction. The favorite occupation of this tribe is-doing nothing. This they do very well. i Also they are very talented in the gentle art of chewing gum. The teachers do not seem to appreciate art, for, this is one reason why teach- ers leave school. .. Words fail me, with which to describe this tribe, but if one desires more information he may consult his dictionary under dumbbell, -MARGUERITE SHINKLE B-Senior.
