FOREWORD WHEN Margaret C, Doerr climbed the stairway from the boys' gym- nasium of our school on a Friday afternoon some years ago, where she had witnessed an inter-scholastic basketball game. she said to one of our teachers, l am very, very tired. The following morning she was rushed to a hospital in our city where the doctors pronounced her illness a case of pneumonia, When l visited her at the hospital on Sunday morning, she was already in a critical condition, and the following day her spirit left for the eternal realms of peaceful rest. That year the Sagamore was dedicated to the memory of a most faith- ful and conscientious teacher who had spent a lifetime in the interests of the boys and girls who had been entrusted to her care. lt was dedicated to Margaret C. Doerr. Another issue of the Roosevelt l-ligh School annual was dedicated to the man who had been more responsible for the high standards of the Minneapolis public school system than any other single person. It was dedicated to the memory of Charles M. Jordan. And still another annual was dedicated to the memory of the great American who stood for so much that is vital in the life and progress of the citizenry of America, and in whose honor this school was named. The Sagamore that year was dedicated to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt. It has remained for the staff of the l936 Sagamore to dedicate our annual to an institution rather than to an individual-the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra-which has reflected credit, honor, and glory on our beloved city for more than a quarter of a century. In the same way that our school system has become known throughout the length and breadth of our country as one of the finest educational systems, so the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is recognized today as one of the best and foremost orchestras in America. l am glad to see that our young people who have charge of the school annual have been willing to give fitting recognition to the high standards of achievement attained by the orchestra which has been acclaimed by audiences in every nook and corner throughout the United States. Min- neapolis is iustly proud of its Symphony Orchestra, and the members of the Sagamore staff have conferred a most signal honor upon themselves and our school annual by dedicating the l936 Sagamore to the Minneapolis Symphony Grchestra. Philip E. Carlson.
