PACEMAKERS SHGOTINGSTARS LNA Peterson was chosen as winner of the Service Trophy because of her outstanding work in the field of art. She has brought honors to Roosevelt High School by winning first place in the George Bellows VVater Color Contest in the spring of 1933 and by winning third place in the Hig- gin,s Contest in Ink Technique in the spring of 1934. She was art editor of the Sagamore, member of the G. A. A., member of the Swedish Club, and a member of the Standard Staff. She graduated with the exception- ally high average of 2778. 'lElna Peterson not only has a knowledge of art, but also that rare love of art that brings real happiness and inspiration to the individual and enrichment to society, is Miss Reid's opinion of Elna. The resources of that whimsical gentleman, Don McKay, are known to us. His fine sense of values prompts him to choose worthy fields of endeavor. His fine judgment prompts him to be modest in his achievements. This type of mental direction is truly unusual. Such is Miss Gruber's opinion of Donald McKay, who was the winner ofthe Service Trophy in the Iune Class. Donald was president of the Senior Honor Society, member of the Hi-Y, member of the Senior Executive Committee, member of the Shakespeare Club, and co-captain of the swimming team. He graduated with the exceptionally high average of 2.917. In all these various activities, Don has exemplified the qualities required of the winner of the Service Trophy. The American Legion medal for the june class was awarded to Lucile Barry. Lucile's most important service to the school was her work on the Sagamore staff. She served as Editor-in-Chief of the 1934 Sagamore and was a member of the staffs of both the 1932 and the 1933 Sagamores. She Was a member of the debate teams, German Club, and Shakespeare Club. She was also Secretary-treasurer of the National Forensic League. Mr. Daly says of Lucile: Lucile's interest in all things going on about her, her native good sense, and ability mark her, in my memory, as one of the most out- standing young people with whom I have come in contact since 1 have been at Roosevelt.
