Van McKenny served as Will Writer. The Class Prophet was Cliff Macdonald. The class poem was written by Winifred Pierce. Every member of the State Debate Team was a Senior; namely, Charles Strother, Wilbur Dow, Helen Searls, Sam Harby, and Frank James. Horace Harby represented the Senior Class on the championship City Debate Team.

Those Seniors who had important parts in the opera “Katinka,” were: Everett Hale, Gladys Doty, Horace Harby, Jack Neville, Elliott Bogert, Della Wasson, Ann Hartelius, and Verna Knight. We feel that we have been equally successful both in scholarship and extra-cur- ricular activities. Grateful classes are forever wont to sing praises to their advisors; but we could sing “laudamus te” “ad infinitum and not adequately express our gratitude. Thank you, Miss Gleditzsch. PAGE 13

RHS c Senior Officers Robert Hartnett, President; Robert Condon, Vice-President; Miss Gleditzsch, Advisor; Robert Garland, Secretary; Dorothy Appleton, Treasurer. The Senior Class IT would be easy to fill a history of the Class of ’25 with superlatives. First in scholarship, first in thrift, first in the finest activities at Roosevelt. The officers represent the high ideals and talents of the Senior Class. They have not only faithfully performed their various duties in these offices, but have also led a strenuous life in other extra-curricular activities. The Senior Honor Roll was larger than any previous one because of the changed grading system and the fact that all Senior members of the Torch Society are now eligible. The forty-four members were: Roosevelt Senior Honor Roll, June, 1925 Lois Stover, Valedictorian, Helen Rhodes, Salutatorian, Helen Adams, Ruth An- derson, Dorothy Appleton, Harriett Baird, Mary Elizabeth Banton, Helen Barber, Robert Bonnar, Mary Byrne, Marjorie Clay, Paul DcGarmo, Jack Dingle, Nell Fer- guson, James Fletcher, Rose Foss, Robert Gleason, Clara Gordon, Talmadge Gray, Frances Grocock, Richard Guider, Sam Harby, Arthur Hillman, Florence Hwang, Frank James, Carl Jensen, Edgar Kelly, Dorothy Kribs, Edmond Meany, Dorothy Milheim, Frank O’Brien, Keith Plank, Virginia Priem, Dan Quinlan, Walter Rhodes, Marietta Richard, Miriam Scholl, Helen Searls, Paul Shew, Shirley Smith, Mary Elizabeth Starr, Doris Stratton, Charles Strother, Ross Vickers. Charles Strother, Chairman, Edmond Meany and Helen Searles composed the Scholarship Committee. This committee was largely instrumental in prompting the Seniors’ high standard of scholarship. Responsible for the arrangements for the Senior play, “The Piper,” was the Senior Play Committee, consisting of Ella Connolly, Chairman, Virginia Priem, Eleanor Ernst, Abbott Bunker, Sam Harby, and Howard Champion. The class is to be complimented on the success of such a stupendous undertaking. The premier social event of the winter was the Senior Matinee. The committee chairman was Robert Hartnett. The other members were Robert Garland, Robert Condon, Dorothy Appleton, Arthur Peterson, Marjorie Clay, Gladys Doty, Edward Huletz, and Charles Hartnett. Mary Elizabeth Starr headed the Thrift Committee with Helen Barber and Horace Harby as co-workers. It was through their aid that the Senior Class was the first to become 100 per cent in savings. In order that the traditional gift of every senior class might be repeated credit- ably in the instance of the Class of 1925, a committee was appointed consisting of Eleanor Ernst, Chairman, Isabelle Hearing, and Kelshaw Bonham. The Senior picnic has become an established institution of every graduating class at Roosevelt. The chairman of the Picnic Committee was Van McKenny; his helpers were Earl Banker, Frank James, Ruth Andersen, Verna Knight, and Mar- garet Doty. PAGE 12
