E TGCRSQSHQ SMHWQAQESSK JANUARY CLASS OF 1926 OVV that We have been away from our Alma hlater for five months, We are beginning to realize thetmany things We are missing. Vile hnd that work is much more realistic than we had thought it While spending happy, carefree days in school. Strengthened by our prepara- tion at Roosevelt High School, we hope to give to the world something which will be indicative of our best efforts. liven now our high school days seem to lie in the far past, and We begin to think ot Roosevelt as a symbol rather than as just a name. Roosevelt, the name that signifies greatness, belonged to a great man, and it belongs to a great school. Every club has been made up, to some extent, of January students, and many of the various offices have been held by them. Our Kid Day will long be remembered as an amusing occurrence in our school lives. Our Christmas party was also a success, but the Prom given us by the B Seniors Was the culmination of all our successful school events. Under the direction of the one to Whom Roosevelt owes its reputation for excellent class plays, lVIiss Pauline Hayes, our class put on the play, 'cSeventeen, and donated the proceeds to a class memorial in the form of beautiful pictures. This Work of beautification Will be carried on by succeeding classes. ' Although our efforts to advance the best interests of the school may seem humble to some, we have done our best, and we are happy to feel that We have had a chance to play a part in the Roosevelt High School drama of life. 1l'IIAI,MAR joHNsoN.

Ita 65emHeosaeamo'Re a l GLADYS GORING I.1cssLr:x' CHu.soN VALEDICTORIANS TO Gladys Goring and Lessley Chilson go the high distinction of being valedictorians of the January and the June classes respectively. Gladys had the unique honor of being not only the valedictorian, but also the only honor student of her class. Her average for the four years of her high school course was 2343. She led a busy life at Roosevelt High. She was a member of the Zenith Literary Society, the Torchbear- ers, the Blue Triangle, The Roosevelt Standard staff, the Press Club, and the Honor Society. In addition, she served her class as secretary during the 12B term. She also took part in the 1925 lVIay Fete and had one of the leading roles in the January class play, l'Seventeen. Despite these many distractions, Gladys maintained her high average of scholar- ship in her chosen held, the Commercial Course. Lessley, likewise, is a stellar student. Her average during her high school course has been 2.6. She has not confined all of her attention to her books, however, as her high record of scholarship would seem to indicate. Qutside activities have claimed much of her attention also. She has served both the Blue Triangle and the Zenith Literary Society as secretary. She is a member of the Chess Club, the Press Club, l'The Roosevelt Standardll staff, and the Honor Society. She is, likewise, the feature editor of the 1926 Sagamore.

is f 513f5f5LiiHi-SEQ3iEmoReE W ai JUNE CLASS or 1926 ' T is with deep regret that the June, 1926, class leaves behind it the many experiences of its four years at Roosevelt High School. VVC are the first class to have entered as Freshmen and to have had our entire high school course at Roosevelt. We, therefore, feel that we are closer in spirit to our school than previous graduating classes have been. - Our class has never been represented by a spectacular few, but it is known for the consistent manner in which every member has striven to attain the best the school offered. We have fought on your teams, starred in your operas and plays, left our mark on your music department, and still have held to a high average of scholarship. VVe have, likewise, de- veloped an excellent newspaper and annual. VVithal, we have honestly tried to live up to the ideals of our school. Our motto, Let knowledge grow, let life be enriched, signifies, conclusively, our entire aim. We realize fully, however, that our accomplishments are not entirely our own. To the helpfulness of our advisers, Miss Curtis, Mr. Ringdahl, and Mr. Lundgren, we owe much for the many successes we have enioyed. To our teachers and former advisers we are also deeply indebted. VVith- out the patience and encouragement given us by Philip E. Carlson and William P. von Levern, it would have been exceedingly difficult to have attained the heights to which we have arisen. We shall endeavor to repay the vast debt of gratitude which we feel we owe our school by our continued interest in all of its enterprises and by striving to live up to the standards maintained at Roosevelt High School. -LOXVELL .5xNDERSON. ,.1 ,gig , I .
