Each generation is the direct beneficiary of previous times. Progress would be hardly possible if we had to learn everything anew. But mere knowledge about social relations and problems is not enough to insure progress. The world as we meet it is different from that found between the covers of text-books. We need to learn to trans- form social thinking into social living through normal experiences. Now. the corporate life of the school in its many extra-classroom manifestations affords experiences closely approximating those of actual life. When the whole student body, or even a large part thereof, actually shares in the social experiences of school life, thinking becomes definitely linked up with acting. Knowledge gained in classrooms is brought out of text-books and put to work. The succeeding pages of this volume depict in detail the social cur- riculum of the school which concerns itself so largely with the great art of living and working in cooperation.

For every activity that called for volunteers an encour- aging number responded. With might and main has each committee given its highest endeavors for the culmination of a successful year. Remarkable was the energy of the Scholarship committee which urged the class into second place in the Inter-Class Scholastic Contest. The committee members: Mary Vir- ginia Kcfauver. chairman: Marney Brown, Monty Margetts, Lenore Berlin, Louise Yeo and Robert Jack- son, have worked to their utmost to perfect the record. In thrift the committee toiled not in vain to induce the Scotch in- stinct of the class to show itself on Bank Day. The committee: Sallie Sue White, chairman; Helen Malott, Mary McArthur, Lloyd Schram, and Jack Anshutz, bent their efforts for a very commendable record. The success of the “Jay Dee’’ Oriental dance which was staged March 2. 1928, marked the powers of the dance committee. The com- mittee was: Josephine Strother, chairman, Ruth Benham, Mary Vir- ginia Kefauver, Bonny Mary Ander- son, Robert Jones, Allen Bird. Hur- ley Boggess, and Harry Kempel.

SOPHOMORE CRASS (Jllr'HE successful year of 1927-1928 has just been completed by the [l| students of Roosevelt High School, and June finds the Sopho- mores ten months older and considerably wiser than when the year began. If Fortune is as kind in future years as in the one just past, there will be little doubt that the Sophomores will leave their name a bright one in the annals of Roose- velt. Miss Grace Norton, advisor for the class, deserves much of the credit for its successes because of her untir- ing efforts in guiding them safely past the problems with which they had to deal. In their September election the Sophomores selected Bob Lyman as president of their class, along with an unusually efficient staff of officers. Clarence Page ably performed the duties of vice-president, Mary Hemp- hill those of secretary, and Mary Curran those of treasurer. The principal Sophomore event of the year, which is officially known as the Sophomore party, furnished nearly three hundred students with two hours’ enjoyment on the after- noon of November 11. After a de- lightful program in the auditorium, those present went to the gyms, where they played games.

The Freshman Frolic was held January 6. A program of music, dancing, and drama in the auditor- ium, games in the girls’ gymnasium, and refreshments, completed the event. Grace Grindall was the general chairman, Agnes Thompson was the program director, while Rodney Dunning had charge of the decora- tions. Leona Little looked after the refreshments and Richard Morgan, the games. By a new clause in the class con- stitution, the scholarship require- ments of the officers were raised from eight to ten points.

All the guys yelled, “Freshman!” I don't see how they knew who we were. There's a swell looking girl across the aisle from me in study. One day she was talking to a Senior boy (I know them because they all have stripes on their arms), and she absent-mindedly sat down in the same double seat I was in. I got all red and ran to the pencil sharpener. When I got there 1 found I had swallowed the gum I found Wednesday and only had my Eversharp to sharpen. A kid told me I could get a freshman pin if I went in a certain door. I went in and there were a whole lot of girls with great big bloomers and bare knees on swinging clubs around their heads. One of them yelled. Green” but I know I was red. 6111 lb STUMBLING SOPH Gee, it seems funny to look way back on my Freshman year! I sure must have been fictitious then. I learned that word today and think I can use it pretty well only everybody sort of makes their eyes laugh when I use it. Bet they don’t know what it means themselves. I don’t ever wear rubbers now. Last year I learned to (like) eat spinach and carrots. Mother says if I eat calliflour and country gravy I can take a girl to a show when I’m a second-half Junior, and can take dancing lessons. I don’t like the idea of putting your arm around a girl when you dance in public though. Aunt Mildred says it s vulgar. Anyway. I am looking for the girl I mentioned, now, but the big guys grab the little girls so maybe I’ll have to take out a Freshman. Ma says I can’t get married till I’m twenty-six though, so guess I’ll have to wait a little longer. GTHE9 JUNIORo Here I am a Junior already, and this only my third year in high- school. I almost had to clean up on a Sophomore yesterday, who was making fun of a Freshman. That’s a Frosh trick in itself. I started in making fun of the Soph until Martha White came along. By the way—1 took a girl out Friday night! Dad gave me two dollars extra in my allowance this month for this occasion. But it cost, counting car-fare, $5.35; counting the tip, $5.40!! Her name is Patricia Gold- stein and her father owns a jewelry store. On the car coming home she told me that I was handsome, but there was a dirt spot on the left side of my nose. I got all red again. J hat is the only under-class habit I have not outgrown. But Patrick Henry said that time will heal all wounds.

This student association, which now is well under way, has been extended until the management of student affairs has become largely a student proposition. The Student Council, composed of the roll representatives, has accomplished a great deal in the matter of legislation. Such problems as running in the halls, the proper supervison of students with early dis- mal privileges, and a suitable plan for the incorporation of the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Standards Committees, have been discussed. The advis- ory board, Mr. Froula, Miss Glass, and Mr. Berthiaume, has compe- tently supervised the work of the council. One of the results of the year’s efforts is the student directed study halls, where the students manage their own study periods. This year the Associate School Improvement Committee and the Associate Service Committee have done meritorious service and deserve credit for their work in helping to maintain a good name for the school. The majority of the council s activity has been directed toward the discussion and improvement of the Point System. 1 he need for [Sixty oac THE . STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 THEd STUDEMT COUNCIIo some regulation for extra-curricular activities was seen by the faculty as early as the beginning of 1926. The matter was first brought before the student governing bodies the latter part of the second semester of 1926-27. Since that time the Student Cabinet and Council have been working industriously toward the completion of a satisfactory system. The Point System was put to a student referendum in December of 1927 and was passed by a large majority. So, the student government has created an atmosphere of democ- racy and a government of student affairs, by the students, and for the students. Sixty-two] the • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 THE) ROTS’ ORIIR IN June, 1927, when the boys elected Bill Waltz president, Joe Caraher vice-president, Blaine Thompson Secretary, and Donald Craig treasurer, little did they appreciate their abilities. With such capable officers for the Boys’ Club it is only to be expected that the year’s work would be an enviable one. These officers, together with the representatives of the four classes, formed the Boys’ Executive Board, the leading spirit in the life of the organization. The representatives: Seniors, Ferdinand Bishop and Wil- liam Dorsey; Juniors, Hubert Mir- acle and William McCauley; Sopho- mores. Carl Nissler and Robert Hen- ning: Freshmen, Richard Morgan and Francis Dickie, have carried out their share of the duties and deserve recognition. It was through this board the Anti-Tobacco Club originated. The latter movement was very capably managed by the committee in charge. Donald Craig, chairman of the com- mittee, Louis Graves. Blaine Thomp- son, Louis Linstead. Dave Hender- son, and Roland Pinkham have gone far to create a spirit of clean living. At a Boys’ assembly, the Anti-To- bacco Club was thoroughly discussed and formed by a great majority. Pledges were then distributed and the club now has a charter member- Boys' Club Officers: shiP °f four hundred.

Marshall Dutton, William Netherly, Chester Astrup, Robert Beckett, and Robert Talbot, under the leadership of Lawrence Bird, staged a banquet that will long be remembered by those who attended. For the first time in the history of the school a Mother and Son [Sixty-three THE • STRENUOUS ■ LIFE....1928 Banquet was held. The committee: Marshall Dutton, chairman: Fer- dinand Bishop. Robert Henning, Don White, Roland Pinkham. Eddie Benz, Donald Craig, Sidney Meister, and Robert Gray, directed a banquet that established a high record. Another movement that started at Roosevelt this year was promoted by the Rotary Club which sent men en- gaged in different lines of work to speak to the boys who showed a desire for help in choosing a vocation. To supervise this work. Blaine Thompson was chosen chairman of the Vocational Committee, consist- ing of Ferg Jansen, Colin Howard, Robert Lyman, James Jacobsen. Louis Graves, Jack Latham, Chester Astrup, and Stewart Marlatt. Three dances of note given un- der the auspices of the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, the “Pigskin Ball.’’ the Mistle-Toe,” and the “Pleeceman’s Bawl.’’ met with the sincere approv- al of the student body. Lawrence Bird, Carlos Douglas, and Eddie Benz were the heads of the commit- tees whose task it was to make these dances outstanding. One of the chief faults of the high schools of a few years ago was the inability to take care of all the boys who wished to turn out for athletics, but who were not efficient enough f.or first team competition. Intra-mural athletics in our own school, however, have been arranged in such a manner as to allow any boy who wishes, the benefits derived from this branch of sports. Boys' Executive Board: William Dorsey Ferdinand Bishop Senior Representatives Hubert Miracle William McCauley Junior Representatives Carl Nissler Robert Henning Sophomore Representatives Richard Morgan Francis Dickie Freshman Representatives The managers of Intra-mural athletics do a great deal of work but seek little credit and in the last year they have so efficiently managed their sports that the results sur- passed other years. In conclusion, it may be said that as long as the Roosevelt Boys’ Club is guided by Sherry Berthi- aume’s ready hand, it will always be a success.

She is courageous to face whatever life may bring; courteous at every turn of the road: “truthful; considerate, and just.” To sum it all up she is “true to the best that is within her that she may become a fine and worthy woman.” As a Roosevelt girl passes from a shy Freshman to a self-poised Senior, her physical, intellectual and spirit- ual development is deeply affected by the far-reaching influences of the Girls’ Club. The physical side of a girl's life is by no means neglected. A Health Committee advertises the value of good health habits. In case of slight illness, a girl finds refuge in the rest room furnished by the Art Commit- tee and attended by the Rest Room Committee. If seriously ill, she is cheered by friendly notes, flowers and visits from the girls of the Good Cheer Committee. A girl's intellectual and aesthetic side is cultivated through Girls’ Club work, itself. A series of Illustrated Travel Talks by Miss Glass, the Girls’ Advisor, the placards of the Art and Culture Committee, all aid to interest Ter in the intellectual field. She grows in self-expression and ap- preciation of beauty by means of the activities sponsored by the Dramatic and Music Committees and is en- couraged to maintain a high stand- ard of scholarship, by the Scholar- ship Committee. Inspiration for higher standards of democracy, friendliness, cooper- ation and service are infused into the school through the medium of the Girls’ Club. These ideals are translated into action by the Fellowship Committee which sponsors the Big Sister movement in the school in order to welcome incoming Freshmen and new girls and help them to feel at home. In return for the benefits derived from a club of this sort, a girl gives herself, her spontaneity, her cooperation to her school and her community. For the character of the dub depends entirely upon the Girls' Club Officers: Martha White Rose Glass President Advisor Jean McIntyre Vivian Downey Vice-President Treasurer Margaret Sheffield Jo Strother Corr.

A girl will get from the club the same mete of friendliness and companionship as she puts in of hard work. Service to the school is exemplified by the work of the School Improvement Committee, which encourages the preservation of beauty and order about the building and grounds. The Lost and Found Bureau and the promotion of courtesy and honor are other features of Girls' Club service. Year by year the club is broadening the scope of its work and in- creasing its service to the community.

To spread joy among the inmates of Firlands Sanitorium, of the County Poor Farm and various other public institutions by song, dance and skits has been the chief purpose of the Troubadours. Many branches of the Boys’ and Girls’ unite in preparing the annual Father-Daughter and Mother-Daughter banquets which tend to bring the parents in closer contact with the spirit of the school.

[Eighty-five TALENT AND ARTISTIC YEARNINGS F(ND AN OUTLET In FINE ART, THE • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 DRAMA 1|r)OOSEVELT'S dramatic department is composed of four Oral | Expression I and two Oral Expression II classes, with Miss Elvena '“Miller as the efficient instructor, assisted by Mrs. M. K. Gilbreath. The first dramatic performance was the Senior Play, “The Romantic Age, a modern drama by A. A. Milne. The Oral Expression students gave two plays, “The Boy on the Meadow and “The Christmas Story,” at the Christmas celebration. The former concerned a poor little orphan girl who dreamed of Christ and what He could do for her. The latter was a portrayal of the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. During the annual News’ Assembly a short mummers’ play written by Ro- land Margetts, the father of a Roose- velt student, was presented, entitled “Honor to Whom—.’’ Miss Miller At the Oral Expression Matinee, two plays, “The Bellman of Mons’’ and “The Dust of the Road’’ were presented. “The Bellman of Mons por- trayed the building of an organ by the Bellman, and his search for someone who could play it. Many tried, in vain, but finally a little child, because of its purity, accomplished what had seemed impossible. The theme of “The Dust of the Road” is that Christ’s voice speaks through man to men, destroying desire to sin. Two other plays given during the year were the Freshmen Class play. “Pyramus and Thisbe.’ a scene from “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” and “The Trysting Place,” by Booth Tark- ington, given by the Torch Society. Another dramatic success of the year was the Roosevelt Revue. Though all the acts were interesting, those out- standing were: “In a Persian Market,” an oriental pantomime: Fifty-Fifty,” an original playlet by Roland Margetts: a dance and patter act featuring Harry Kempel and Claude Brunes: Poor Maddalena,” a charming drama: and “Greenwich Village Gayeties,” a cab- aret act. The success of the production Qeits was due to the efforts of the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Revue Committee with Beth Farquharson and Carlos Douglas, co-chairmen: and to the coaching of a staff of students and teachers headed by Miss Rose Glass, Girls’ Advisor.

It was a subtle and therefore difficult play, portraying complicated situations written into clever lines that required good acting to express the interpretation. THE3 RoOMANTIC AGE” Above, scene from Act 1 1 of “The Romantic Age.” Left, Helen Louise Benway as Meli- sande. Helen Louise Benway played the part of Melisande Knowles, the romantic heroine: the only child of loving parents, a point which her mother was often wont to emphasize. Opposite Helen Louise was David Handerson, as Gervaise Mallory. Melisande’s quite twentieth century lover, but to her he was Prince Charming, her blue and silver knight. Gervaise and Melisande played their love scenes in a convinc- ing simple manner that caused their audience to entirely forget their real identity. They saved the second act from being too sentimental by being a boy and a girl at play, and laughing at themselves. As Mr. Knowles, Melisande’s father. Jack Fulton was not romantic like Melisande, but he appreciated the subtle humor of the father’s part and portrayed it as well as possible.

MA good sort. a typical, good-natured young Englishman was Bobby Coats, faithfully done by Evan Gibson. In the first act Bobby was very much in love with Melisande, but she would have nothing to do with him because he was much too practical. Jane was sympathetic and by the third act all of Bobby’s feelings for Melisande were gone. However, when Melisande was so disappointed in Gervaise the second time she saw him, she proposed to Bobby and there was quite a mixup. Gervaise, however, solved the siutation by winning Melisande over to his belief in the romance of the simple, real things of life. Two minor parts were played by Jean McIntyre and Eddie Benz. Jean took the part of Ern, a country boy whom Gervaise happened to meet in the woods near Melisande's home. There he met also Gentleman Susan, a traveling peddler, none other than Eddie Benz. Ern and Gentleman Susan gave variety to the play, helped to show how human Gervaise was. and brought out the romance one should find in the everyday things of life. The play showed very strongly the excellent coaching of Miss Elvena Miller, dramatic director.

Miss Miriam Terry, music instructor, is the advisor, and many students who are interested in music have joined the club. The officers are as follows: president, Dorothy Dando; vice-president. Gene- vieve Brown; secretary, Margaretha Heimsoth. and treasurer, Leone Mc- Elvain. There are nearly four hundred stu- dents taking part in Roosevelt’s various music activities, which consist of five glee clubs, two symphony orchestras, and a forty-five-piece band. Ernest H. Worth and Miss Miriam Terry are the instructors. The Senior Symphony orchestra, as- sited by the Boys' Sextette, presented a Mr Wo'th music assembly early in the year. The orchestra has also played several times at the Chamber of Commerce. The Junior Symphony orchestra has vied with the Senior orchestra on every occasion and so, not to be out- done. it presented a music assembly in the middle of the year. Roosevelt has reason to be proud of her band. It has played several times for school functions and has presented an assembly and a midwinter concert. I he Band Concert was the first of its kind at Roosevelt and it was much to be commended. In addition to this, the band has played several times at the Chamber of Commerce and also for the annual Boy Scouts’ Circus. It has been the custom at Roosevelt for several years to present a midwinter orchestra and Glee Club Concert. At this year’s concert, the five combined glee clubs sang two songs—“Going Home,’’ from the New World Symphony by Dvorak-Fisher, and the “Soldiers’ Chorus” from “Faust” by Gounod. This number was a new feat to be attempted at Roosevelt and it received so much praise that it was repeated at the Band Concert given later in the year. Besides commending the fine cooperation of Roosevelt s many music students much acclaim must be given to Ernest H. Worth, music con- ductor, who has been the inspiration and guide to the students.

Jim White, wakeful tackle, was responsible for the Teddies’ first touchdown of the year. Linstead. Beymer and Schram were the lights of the backfield and the Howard brothers were the powers of the line. In the second tilt of season, against Franklin, the Rough Riders soundly trounced the peaceful Quakers 27-0. Blaine Thompson showed his ability in the line and stole the show. The Garfield jinx prevailed and for the third year the Bulldogs took a close one from us, 7-6. In a 6-6 tie, Queen Anne spoiled Roosevelt’s last chance for a championship. T he work of Harold Steen in this thrilling encounter was the feature of the game. The efficient work of Theo Mitchell, Louie Graves, and John Horton was much to our advantage. In a sea of mud and with a 12-0 score, Roosevelt bowed to the Ballard Beavers in a game which featured Dick Beymer’s steady fight- ing in the adverse conditions present. The appearance of Charles Rosen- han and Jack Anshutz were events of commendable character. The final game of the season against West Seattle at the Stadium was too much of an antithesis from the muddy Ball Park to the sandy Stadium field and the Rough Riders dropped their last tussle to the Indians by a 6-0 score. Louie Linstead finished up a brilliant career by taking the ball for some nice jaunts. Dick Beymer played one of the finest individual games of the season. Blaine Thompson, Ferg Jansen and Jim White were the twinklers of the linesmen. Roosevelt finished up the season with two overwhelming wins, three tough defeats and one tie. The Galloping Ghosts placed Dick Beymer, who by his fine work and inspiration certainly deserved a berth, on the All-City aggregation. Louie Linstead. as good a quarter as ever hit the city loop, placed along with Jim White and Loren and Colin Howard on the second All-City team thus rewarding Coach Dvorak's tireless and efficient work as coach of the local institution’s eleven.

Marion Felt, flashy forward, gained the most points, scoring seven, closely followed by Dick Merrin and Hilt Talbot with six counters apiece. Our second tussle, which was against Franklin, was a close one, the Quakers comnig out on top 19-16. The checking of Blaine Thomp- son and Colin Howard featured this fracas. In a net-swishing contest, Roosevelt beat West Seattle to the tune of 37-19, Hilt Talbot finding the net for twelve points and showing the way for the rest of the Galloping Ghosts. Garfield took a fast game from us 23-15. Joe Caraher’s brilliant checking helped the local team keep the opposing score as low as it was. The Shingleweavers from Ballard took a thriller from Roosevelt 20-1 7 in one of the hardest fought games this season. Roosevelt lost a heartbreaker to Lincoln 13-11. The fighting spirit of Willie Waltz, midget forward, kept the local boys rolling through- out the game. Dick Merrin was the sparker in a free-shooting game which Roose- velt won from Franklin 34-20. Felt trailed Merrin with nine points. In the closest game of the season, the Rough Riders resigned to Broadway 14-13. Dave Henderson’s floor work and consistent playing kept the ball rolling for the local institution. In return games, Roosevelt had little trouble in trouncing Cleve- land 43-16: Franklin 24-17; and in the final game of the season from Queen Anne. 33-19, the work of Jack Anshutz, Louie Linstead and Blaine Thompson shining out. Coach Dvorak, veteran mentor, turned out another one of his fight- ing teams, which showed his constant schooling in its fight for the pennant. Although not so successful this season, we had a team that was in the game for all its worth. Coach Dvorak was ably assisted by Keith Steele and Clarence Bengston, this year’s managers.

The third tussle of the season against the Shingleweavers at Ballard set the local boys on their feet, winning in a ninth inning rally led by Sherm Elworthy and followed by McFarlane.

Coach R. E. Leaf had a real racquet swinging tennis team and had the city championship in sight but due to this mis- fortune our chances went glim- mering.

SMITH, efficient intramural athletic director, on being asked as to the success of this year’s intramural sports, waxed enthusiastic and praised the fellows of Roosevelt for their fine turnouts and good sportsmanship. The first sports in the fall were introduced soon after school started. Three leagues of basketball were started, along with tournaments of handball, horseshoe, tennis and golf getting under way with lots of competition showing in every division. Roll 209 came under the tape a winner in the Coast League hoop race as did Roll 306 in the American League and 303-125 in the National League. Good showings in the golf and tennis divisions left Bob Schultz a victor in the former sport and John Curran winner in the latter. Class basketball along with inter-school soccer were two innova- tions this year, the Seniors winning in their sport and the Roosevelt Shinicker squad cleaning up in the city loop. With the coming of spring, volleyball was the first sport to be started, closely followed by indoor track. Next roll indoor baseball was started with a registering of nearly every roll in the school. Outdoor track started along with baseball, a goodly number of boys getting out and uncovering some valuable material. Roosevelt’s idea of everybody participat- ing in some branch of athletics was fulfilled very well this year, chiefly because of the ef- forts and hard work of Mr. G. M. Smith and his corps of managers. red Fifteen THE . STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 Track Men KOOSEVELT'S cinder squad, although small in number, gathered in its share of this year's dual meet points. Coach Dvorak was greeted by a small turnout at the beginning of the year but through his ingenuity he organized a team that wouldn’t look up to anyone. I he 7 eddy squad had a few veterans back who looked fit in the competition offered so far this year. Dan Bracken, midget high sticker, looks as if he is scheduled to walk in one, two, or three in the all-city high hurdles this year together with being a valuable man in the low hurdles and the relay team. Bart Hooper, cinder burning quarter miler, is another that's going to make trouble for the competition in the all-city. T he dash events are represented by Schram and Jennings, two valuable men. In the weight division, there are Baldwin, Chap- man and Jennings. Pole vaulting is taken care of by Bob Otis and Dick MacKintosh, two rising young men, and the broad jump is ac- complished by Roland Pinkham and Dex Jennings. T he Teddy tracksters lost their first meet to Broadway by the score 64-48. next to Garfield with the score 92-21. Although faring not so well in dual meets, Roosevelt is looking forward to a real chance in the all-city meet and is more than likely to surprise some of the dopesters.

Under the direction of Miss Leona Beckham, the tour- nament, after a few v eeks of strenuous practice was run off smoothly with a mixed floor team finally copping the “Champs’’ title. September 30. 1927. the Athletic Girls entertained with their annual “Gym Dandy.’’ At 3:10 they assembled in the Au- ditorium for one of the peppiest programs offered. From there they journeyed to the gym where refreshments were served. While Flagler's Orchestra fur- nished snappy music, the girls had a great time dancing. The next chapter found the girls getting in trim for the class basketball playoff. After much deliberation, the Juniors claimed the most victories so to them went the title. At the Letter Assembly, thirty-two girls received numerals. Volley-ball next held sway over Roosevelt. The tournament was a hard fight from start to finish but the Juniors again came to the front and walked off with all the honors. In the spring, a Roosevelt girl’s fancy turns lightly to thoughts of Baseball and Track. Captains for baseball were elected and the tourna- ment was played off the third week in May. Under the direction of Miss Beckham and Olive Relling the hikes were carefully planned. Eight interesting ones were held during the year, giving every girl an opportunity to go on at least five thus earning 100 points. Tennis found fifty girls out for the championship. For the champion, a cup was offered by Mrs. Limbach. Under the supervision of Cor- ns Guy, archery was introduced this year. The girls made their own bows and the shop boys con- structed the target for them. The sport proved successful and will be offered again. On Saturday, April 28, 1928, two hundred-fifty Big Letter Girls met at West Seattle High for their First Annual All-City Big Letter Banquet. Good food, novel entertainment, and snappy toasts made the first banquet a great success.

One Hundred EightccnJ THE • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 CHAMPIONS OF 1928 Volleyball Basketball Baseball [One Hundred Nineteen All the spice of high school life Finds its place JN THE FEATURES I THE • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 It was on a bleak and dismal afternoon in a month of dark omens and weird portents in the year of our Lord 1910. that a small man-child appeared on the face of the earth amid the flare of lightning and crash of thunder to create one more proud poppa and momma. Eleven months later this same progeny cut another tooth and to hear little Junior (obviously he was named after the old man) tell about it, you d think that it was his left leg that was being cut in- stead of just an ivory. By that time the bunch at the office had just begun to grasp the significance of a certain year-old marvel from Proud Poppa's profuse and lavish quotations of Junior's wisecracks. And as most children are wont to do. Algernon grew up. At last the appointed day arrived; Doting Mumsy put the heavy underwear and woolen suit on little Junior, then tied his mittens and earmuffs on firmly and led Mumsy s Darling to Kindergarten. With dis- approving looks at the little rowdies our hero would have to associate with, he was presented to the teacher. He immediately caressed her on the left tibia with a petite brogan and lamented the fact that he was being separated from the maternal apron strings. “Naughty, naughty—Mother's Little Man mustn t do that, was the harsh reproof. Once about this time, Algernon was coming home from town on the street car with the Loving Mater when the con asked her how old the small fry was. Four, was the snappy repartee. Thinking that he was being duped the con asked Junior how old he was. Four. was the peremptory command. Well. said the con. I know what he s going to be when he grows up. What? queried Mumsy. Either a giant or a liar. .... , , ,, So on for about six years Junior played hob with his teachers and smaller co- sufferers. Having a perverted sense of humor, he delighted in affixing cylindrical metallic objects to the caudal accouterments of his quadruped acquaintances. I his playful little habit was dropped in later years, however. One day the Proud Paternal Parent came home to find the young hopeful just able to take nourishment through a straw while resting gingerly on a couple of pillows. Between gurgles and groans the pater learned that some big bully caused this butchery because of having been instructed by Junior to Make me. He did. It was about half an hour after the encounter with the brute that Algie appeared at the back door with one eye discolored and the other closed; a slightly dented and messed up olfactory appendage, a couple of loose cuspids and two exaggerated jaws. Soon afterwards he fell down the basement steps— not that it has anything to do with the story, but anyway, the family didn’t know which it was that [One Hundred Twenty-one THE • STRENUOUS ■ LIFE....1928 caused him to take to collecting stamps and playing Tiddly Winks. Having started in life at an early age, Junior was graduated from Grammar School two years later, quite a dumb kluck and rather credulous; cursed with a sense of humor and a promising graphomaniac. On the memorable morn of September 1924. a boy. obviously a green Frosh, slowly mounted the broad and spacious piazza of the R. H. S. Upon attaining its heights, he was informed by a cruel and heartless Soph that all newcomers were required to register with the Dean of Men in the recreation room on the sixth floor. After a fruitless search, (you can well imagine our hero's chagrin at being the butt of such crude comedy) Algernon finally stumbled onto one of the gallery doors of the Audi- torium where he was immediately greeted by a sar- castic command from an awe inspiring Upperclassman, namely to bring himself inside and make himself at home. Once inside, he saw that there were a couple of hundred other young bucks of his own age and equally ill at ease by the habitual ennui of the blase Juniors and Seniors. After having had his John Henry duly registered in the archives of R. H. S., he was instructed in the usual routine (getting by with the least possible mental and physical exertion). At lunch time he was approached by a rather friendly individual who offered to sell him a set of Assembly tickets at reduced prices; immediately remembering the story of the fellow who purchased elevator coupons and then found that there was no short cut to the third floor, our hero smelled a snake in the woodpile, so he politely but firmly thanked the scalper (R. H. S. abounds with such tripe) and backed away. Upon going to the study-hall. Junior found one more pleasant pastime, that of taking a piece of paper 2 x 4 and folding it a number of times, then rolling it. whereupon it was placed on the tongue until thoroughly saturated. This being accomplished it was draped across a rubber band and was then sent on its journey of joy—usually to the back of some luckless person's neck. On the whole these Frosh were not so worse. In fact the class of ’28 was a rather canny bunch. Before half the period was over Algernon had taken his notebook covers and adorned his exposed spinal column, forming an impregnable bulwark against any missives sent in his direction. However, one of his pedagogue, friends thought that five hours would teach him a lot concerning the ways of the Rooseveltian. It did. Junior found that gum had been deposited on the bottom of the Office table just 423 times up to date, and that 16 fellows had seen fit to leave their initials emblazoned on the top of one of the chairs. Algie was surely learning fast. But. as the old saw goes, Pride goeth before a fall and so does summer. Our hero was no exception and he flopped as flat as any. Once outside again and he was beset by another pleasing chap whoSiad an insatiable craving for trying to get two nickels to come up heads at the same time. The diversion having been ex- plained to Junior and appealing to his sporting nature, he readily acquiesced. The amiable stranger then took Algernon to the locker-room and incidentally to the cleaners for about $1.65. Junior saw his friend only once after that; he was coming out of Sherry's office with one hand swathed in bandages. He had been in the act of reaching for a good cigar when some careless person had stepped on his fingers. After the Prodigal had acquired his 8 credits and returned to school he was im- pressed by the magnificent Soph party, lavishly executed. When later interviewed by an United Press representative, it was learned that Drop the Handkerchief rivaled One Hundred Twenty-two] XHE . STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 WWW Blind Man's Bluff for a rough and ready sport. One thing that detracted from his good time was that he was allowed to go through the food line only four times. Being a small guy has its drawbacks as Algie learned when a party of merry revelers used him for a slicker and stuffed him in a locker, fastening the door. About an hour later the school was disrupted by a series of blood-curdling shrieks and wails like a soul in torment. A body of Rough Riders sent to succor the dead or dying found and liberated our hero, who immediately vowed a mighty vow to wreak vengeance upon the scamps who had caused him to miss an English exam. Another thing which was wordily impressed on Junior's cerebrum was the fact that leaving school at irregular hours is not done by the best of scholars. It took the better half of first period one day for HIM to satisfy HIS own mind that Algernon knew the correct thing. Tempus fugited and when school started again in the fall so did Junior. During the summer he had accumulated enough of the filthy lucre to acquire one of those wonders from Detroit (it made you wonder how much longer it’d be before you started walking home) and naturally his desire to write found an outlet on the fuselage and engine-room in such Teen expressions as lo brow, squirrel diet, hi hat, etc., etc., etc., etc. The Petrol Nightmare was adorned similar to a futurist's conception of a humming-bird cooking ham and eggs on a Yesler Cable. Naturally Algie had one of those squawk-squawk horns with a rubber ball on one end and an immature megaphone on the other. 1 his was the pride and joy of his heart until the owner happened to recognize it on the Ave- nue one day. As a one arm driver. Junior was the Pig’s Squeal. He had an unblemished record as far as missing a fire-hydrant or pedestrian goes. By this time the fly-cop in the district was spending his spare time writing Algie's name on little yellow pieces of paper. It saved him a lotta time during his rush hours. But as is usually the case when one sails blithe- ly along—or otherwise—Lady Luck caught him once when he was tying his shoe string. One night Junior forgot to sprinkle insect powder on Bouncing Betsy and the next morning all there was left of a once proud twin-two shay was the upholstery and the windshield. For in the night a herd of Pchoxly- stimnbequres (a small pelagic uniped which diets on choice morsels of stannum had silently stolen upon the unsuspecting push-cart and had ravenishly devoured it, leaving only the ruts in the road. For a time Proud Poppa and Proud Mamma thought that they would have to call in a psychiatrist to examine the poor boy's nob, the loss affected him that much. The Junior Cotillion absorbed his mind next. (It's cinch that the next day's lessons never occupied that position.) It was a red letter day in his life. He had new garters ordered for the occasion and wore his best nosegay. He had the most fun: only twelve girls denied him the pleasure of dancing with them. The other four all limped off the floor with the aid of someone on each side. Trying to crash the gate at the Senior Dance was very bad taste on his part as he found out when a couple of the big bruisers on the other side of the door gave him five or six Bum's Rushes all in one. Not relishing the pugnacity of their attack, he relinquished his hold on the door jamb and allowed himself to be ejected. For the next week or so. Algernon thought of turning outj for track as soon as the season started. He had skipped two gym classes in a row and when he returned, expecting Sherry to think him sick and ta greet him [One Hundred-Twenty-three the • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 with open arms, the instructor—brute he was—assigned him 500 laps. It took only four days to complete the five hundredth one and he considered himself in pretty fair shape for any marathon that might come up. However, he gave up the idea when he saw Dvorak's limbering-up exercise displayed by the track squad. About that time, all the MEN around school began taking to sporting galluses, but being of Scotch descent. Sonny refrained from them as he was afraid that he'd have to support his pantaloons. For the rest of the semester, he was shunned by habitues of the Inn: he had referred to the meat loaf as hash when ordering his lunch. From then on he was a marked person. The waitress that was serv- ing him almost had a fit right then and there. That was the insidious thing about it. no one had told him the difference—there just wasn't any. Junior stood just outside the door of 221 won- dering whether or not to drop Zoology. The first half of the year had been most enjoyable, he cut up bugs to his heart's content, but the second half— TERRIBLE! Mr. Landes had dragged out his over- ripe Crayfish which had been analyzed by the various Zoo Classes since R. H. S. had been founded. The mephitic gaseous emissions of these dead animals was too much for our hero. For almost a week he had saved his lunch money. Now even the sight of the lunch-room caused his digestive tract to perform somersaults and cartwheels, bringing a queer rising feeling into his throat. Finally, the post- mortem was over and the hash-houses around the district regained their normal trade: Junior resumed his studies about the 3 legged mince from which mince meat is derived. Deciding that Caesar's Gallic Wars were unfair to Organized Labor as the author was not affiliated with any recognized Local, Algie went on a strike. He unstruck, however, just as soon as he found that an English translation could be procured for a nominal sum at any bookstore. But being unable to get a pony for Ovid, he decided that his life occupation didn't require Latin anyway. His literary career, interrupted when the gondola had disappeared, with the coming of spring he again became haunted by the obstinate fiction that it was the duty of a man of parts to express himself from time to time in verse. Any special occasion of ex- pansion or exuberance, of depression, torsion or intro- spection was sufficient to call it forth. So he created poems of dejection, of reflection, of determination, of deglutition, of indigestion. In fact any particular psychological disturbance was enough to provoke an excess of elegiacs and iambics intermingled with hexameters, pentahedrons, nonagons. and the like. Even the flat-foot on the beat was not immune from being immortalized by Algie's epics. There can be little doubt of the deleterious effect occasioned to our hero’s morals by this deliberate exhalation of mental susceptibility on Junior’s part. The undue excess of emotion frequently assumed a pathological character. Then everything wore an exaggerated significance. However, observing a dizzy blonde to be watching him one afternoon, he cast all other thoughts aside and the spirit of Shakespeare in him once more re- solved into a torpid state. Algernon did not see the same blonde snicker as she turned away or he would not have spent his allowance on a Senior Pin so that he might have one ready in case that she should want to wear his. He finally ended by giving it to some little Soph who collected such trophies. After that, he joined the 146th F. A. of the National Guards and submerged into obscurity along with the rest of the grooms. One Hundred Twenty-four] THE • STRENUOUS • LIFE....1928 6IHF EsVOITITION OF A HUMORIST AS a young upstart, you became acquainted with them in pre- school circles and harkened to remarks of their prowess up through the grades. During your soft and tender Freshman years you heard of them and when you were a wee bit more Sophisti- cated, they again became audible. When in the state of coma of a Junior, their opinions were voiced in your presence in the form of snappy repartee, and at last in a new state of tedium as a Senior, you felt (no relation to Marion) that you would know them instantly and could get bites” off of their ice cream cone without fear of contracting rabies. For in truth, these wiseheimers were remarkable. There has never been an assembly yet in the history of R. H. S. that some young chap (or anybody else) did not say “and that reminds me of a little story” which never fails to draw a healthy snicker of amusement from the first three rows on the shelf. Once upon a time, long before they started soaking hours for un- obtrusively leaving our time honored institution in seach of more material pleasures (shooting 18 holes at Sand Point in 60 or less), two Irishmen, Pat and Mike, happened to meet one afternoon at the village store in Old Erin (that's six bit's worth meaning Ireland) and these same two Orangement instantaneously became a God-send to all past- prandial speakers and long-winded orators. Their wit was unquench- able; it gushed, gurgled, and spouted forth in never-ceasing torrents. Pat’s cunning Oirish brogue was imitated by obese Teutons, petite Parisians, blase Hottentots and mercenary Icelanders. These little buffooneries have brought their originators fame, fortune, popularity, and softening of the brain along with a few over-ripe cackleberries. It soon became the rage to spring a few of Pat’s and Mike’s latest cracks at assemblies. Later Pat moved to London, from there to Paris, on to Patagonia, Berlin, Fremont, Ballard and all points north. As luck would have it, Mike moved to all those places, too, but what makes this coincidence most extraordinary is the fact that both of them always happened to be passing a certain spot on the street at the same time. In all of their sojournings the two Hibernians went incognito. Sometimes they went as New York policemen, sometimes as partici- pants in the lock-step, again as plumbers (idle, but not necessarily rich) and usually they were full of wile, bile and guile; in other words they were just a couple of wiseacres but regardless, their every-ready (sounds like a razor, but it isn't) and inexpressively funny wit was their undoing. They were immediately recognized as those two darling bog-trotters from Hibernia. And so—that is why they tell funny stories at assemblies. [One Hundred Twenty-five THE .
