Page six HistCrg Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School opened its doors to students for the flrst time on September 2, 1924. At that time 1023 students enrolled, 502 boys and 521 girls. The growth in enrollment is shown as follows: Year Semester Boys Girls Total Increase 1924-25 First 502 521 1023 1924-25 Second 565 609 1174 151 1925-26 First 601 602 1203 29 1925 26 Second 629 626 1255 52 1926-271: First 707 696 1403 148 j:Estimated. Nine elementary schools tBarhour, Blake, Church, Ellis, Franklin, Garrison, Kent, Montague, VValkeQ contribute to the enrollment, together with scattered entries from rural districts and from private and parochial schools. Increase in numbers might be taken as evidence of the attractiveness of the junior high school program, but detailed studies will be available for the next Yearbook. To meet the needs of a growing school, it has been necessary to organize many activities appropriate to junior high school students. Horne room organizatiOns and student service organizations elsewhere enumerated and described were put into operation the first semester of 1924-25. The second semester marked the ad- vent of special interest clubs, together with the weekly publication of nTeddy's News? The llOrange and Blue? handbook of school information, appeared on September 1, 1925; and work for the present Yearbook has featured the second semester of this year. Interscholastic and intramural athletic activities have played their part in building up the spirit and life of the school. The curriculum of the school has had like attention. Organization of depart- ments aided the analysis of subject matter appropriate to age, grade, and ability of students. Auditorium exercises were introduced into the seventh grade program last fall. The machine-shop was equipped during the summer of 1925 and offered to ninth grade boys in September. . The faculty as a whole has been making an investigation of study habits and student accounting. Building a school program of curricular and extra-curricular activities has been, and will continue to be, a pioneering project, filled with living experiences for all engaged in the task.

In Room 302 we purchased our tickets, called Program Cards, for the sum of two dollars each, and also received generous information in regard to baggage and other phases of school traveling. We checked our be- longings in lockers and prepared to start upon the lengthy journey the following day. VVednes- day morning came and with it the first joys of our trip. Mrs. Tjaden proved a faithful con- ductor, always eager to point out the interesting and worth while sights and to see that every one was comfortable. Sometimes the scenery went whizzing by so fast that the days seemed far too short. Again, how anxiously we waited for the train to slow down and stop over, so'that everybody might alight at some vacation spot. We can never forget the excellent service and food in the Diner. Occasionally a few would rush madly from the vestibule, enjoy a lunch at the Green Parrot lunch counter, and dash back as the bells announced the train's departure. We stopped at many a station of Distress; but somehow, as we look back, we are more apt to recall the Views of Success and Happiness that were obtained from the Observation Car of Study. The last lap of the journey was remarkable. Not one of our class changed cars. At the important junction, 9A, a new traveler joined our party. A change of conductors was also made, and Miss Morse stayed with us the rest of the way. At last it was all over and we were at the end of our Junior High trip-all happy and none sorry for the wonderful experience.

Since we were designated Y8A-1, we chose as our name the ttWise Ytsf blue and gold for colors, and ebecause we thought it would be a helpful suggestion if anything in our school life was a bit difficultehKeep smiling for a motto. Though we all felt a bit strange at hrst, we got acquainted quickly; and during our days at Junior High we became very good friends. As a group, both boys and girls were very much interested in sports; and in our number were many of the best athletes of the school. Several of our members have shown executive ability as leaders of school clubs. Charles Spatz was president of the Dramatics, Lucille Patterson of the Hiking, and James Fuller of the Radio Club. Through three semesters we struggled for 100170 in banking, and just before leaving we achieved our goal. Although we have gone to another school, we never will forget the good times and many happy days at Theodore Roosevelt. Page fourteen Top Row-William Waskiewicz, John Dochkus.

On September 2, 1924, clansmen from north, south, east and west met in conclave to plan a campaign against Ignorance. Our chief during the first year of conflict was Paul Ritchie, who was succeeded by Harlow Ades. Under the direction of Chieftain De Long, and later under that of Chieftain Joyce, these young chiefs led us in skirmishes, attacks, and pitched battles. Soon after our clan gathered, we purchased our insignia in the form of rings, whereby the members of llFour Squarell might be distinguished from other clansmen. A clan book was also compiled, and it is now one of our most valued possessions. In recognition of faithful attention to duty, the names of Ruth Schoen, Izetta Broitzman, Flavia Johnson, Margaret Bursiek and Lillian Johnson were placed on the Honor Roll. Bern- hardt Haeferer was cited for bravery when he rescued a 13-year-old girl from danger. A record for diving was made by Mona Erickson during the' 1925 swimming meet. We regret that Margaret Bursiek was wounded in action and compelled to leave our ranks before the last battle. Our fight with Ignorance is not yet over. We are marching to new battle grounds, but we will never cease our struggle until we have reached our goal. Page fifteen Top Row-Fred Hiner, Erwen Brewer, Claude Carney, Joe Peila.

After one short week of acquaintance we organized nThe Teddy Boosters, electing to office those who in the short time had made us recognize their ability. La Verne Nelson served us for two terms as president and one term as vicevpresident. He has never disappointed our first trust in him and has been one of our group to make the Honor Roll. Lenora Schleicher was elected our first secretary and wrote the minutes of our meetings so cleverly that we have retained her in that office for three semesters. Joe Peila has served the class as treasurer for three semesters. Our second president, Tony Cassioppi, has won his letter playing football with the Senior High School team. Rickliff Grimmitt, our treasurer the past semester, has the distinction of being the tallest boy in the school. Class meetings and Christmas parties have helped us to know each other better, to form closer friendships, and to realize that nCo-operation is the keynote of success.

The circus is here, and every one is eager to go; but, unfortunately, there is room for only a limited number. We, the pupils of Room 222, are about to leave you, friends, to make our way into the ttbig topi'e the Senior High School. Although we have paused now and then for a few gay times, we have struggled hard to reach this coveted goal. While here in Roosevelt, we tried to do our part in the various activities of the school. One of our classmates, Walter Dombkouski, was a star member of the tumbling team. Raye mond Tramblie, Charles Mahlburg, and Elwin Runte won honors for us in baseball and basket- ball. Donald Harris proved to be our best reader, having gotten the greatest number of out- side reading credits. Due to the efforts of Virginia Sites, student council representative, we made 100 per cent in subscriptions for uTeddyys News for January. We have learned from our experience that the side-show is for the curiosity seeker and the timid who cannot pay the price of admissionelong hours of study and painstaking effort. Those who stop to gaze at the antics of the clowns or loiter too long in the menagerie to watch the animals in their play will surely be late; for the big show starts on time, regardiess 0f the crowd's falling behind.

Soon, with a few jerks and tilts, the airship slipped out of its moor- ings, and we were on our way over the most exciting fiight we,d ever had. Once in the midst of a terrific, blinding storm we found ourselves headed straight for a mountain-top. We struck it! Many of us were thrown clear overboard, striking against declensions, factors, maps, charts, themes, and outside assignments. Some escaped unscratched, but a few were so badly injured that the outcome is still uncertain. Early one morning we spied two monkey-like figures on the rope attachments. These proved to be Harold and Horace practising for the rope-climbing contests. We've been proud of these boys, for theyhve won several championships for our section. One of the best times we had was when we entertained the rest of the passengers by School Days. Louis got all fixed up and became Archibald. Eleanor, as Archibald's mother bringing him to school, was a scream! Others in costumes of various descriptions aided in the fun. We found all the jokes we could and tried them on each other. Now in a few days we'll slip back into our Roosevelt hangar for the last time, as we're planning on embarking on the larger ship, HThe Senior, for our next trip.

Thinking it was easy, we began our search. Many felt that the key to Knowledge would be found in our required subjects; others thought in the electiveseso Alice, Ina, and Donovan chose Latin, while Ralph and Sam tried Printing. Some felt that we should search for the key of Health in service clubs and assembly programs. From Christmas on, every one started to work desperately, for we had had no success. The first of April Hjordis saw the key of Health glistening 0n the bottom of the swimming pool. She splashed in, and then carried a huge bump on her head for a week. So it went. Time grew shorter; success seemed uncertain. June came. Enthusiasm was high. After we had turned in our books, Miss Clark asked for the keys from all those who had been successful in the quest. Every one rushed forward and placed the keys on her desk. T0 the casual observer they were only our ttgym and locker keys; but to us, in some mysterious fashion, they had changed magically into the keys of Health and Knowledge. And sofl Miss Clark said, llyour quest here for the keys has finished; but you will go on searching in High School for the keys of Wisdom and Experience, which will help you unlock the door to Life.

These knights and ladies were assigned to the western part of the field and were given a grand-stand and official box. They chose court advisors and ministers to help their gracious queen, Miss Elizabeth Sullivan. Court Councilor, Sir Maurice Hartnett, one of the busiest men in his- tory, with a blarc 0f trumpets announced a series of contests, the first of which challenged the knights and ladies to 100727 for the entire Year 00 monthw in HTeddyis News. All responded, and their names were entered in a manuscript which holds honorable place in the grand-stand. Banking was also an event which carried off the blue ribbon. Next, fifteen names received honorable mention for 10070 attendance for the vear. Among the delightful social affairs was the Halloween Frolic held at the castle of Lady Kathleen Dunstan, a most charming hostess. We can only mention the jolly sleigh-ride which afforded so much fun at the feast that was had at a wayside inn known as the Green Parrot. A Book Party was announced by the Rulers of the Castle. Damsels Sinderson and Ward, dressed in novel costumes, attended and came off with first honors, greatly to the delight of their comrades. The grand climax came when 10070 subscriptions were gathered for the Year- book. With the help of the queen, councilor, advisors, and whole-hearted striving by all, these knights and ladies have carried on to a field of glory.

Thirty-three we numbered then, the boys far in the lead. But changes have come, and 110w we number thirty-seven, T the girls leading. Have we talent in our group? Well, just listen to this: Violinists, pianists, drummers ,artists, readers, soloists, and ath- H , letes. In years to come big headlines in the daily papers will tell of their successes. E As to our scholastic attainments, we are too modest to make a written statement. We think we hear some teachers say, They are a bright, active group of youngsters. But others may say, llBlessed are they who expect little, for they shall not be disappointed. Our club name just suits us; and our motto, We're out to win? inspires us when we think of it. Taking us all together, we present a problem of great variety. Can you solve it?

Miss Elizabeth McEvoy, our director, immediately laid plans for the first important activities. We liked the location and company so well that we decided to stay for at least two and a half years. In our troupe we have villains, together with romantic Barry- mores and Valentines. The villains sometimes practice their tactics OPE stage, thereby showing the need of a curtain lecture from the director; but as they know the cue to follow next, there is little difficulty. The people in the group are all property men, as each takes care of his own simple costumes and equipment. Some, we admit, do better than others. Besides actors, we have several people that may some day be in opera, for a few can sing a song that is worth listening to. Our manager and assistant manager, Lona Howe and Neil Bressler, are kept busy arranging the special programs. Our assistant manager is an acrobat, who, with Charles King, is attaining fame. Doris Pfau takes tickets and keeps accounts. She is aided by the booking-agent, Allen Long, who is also the Tom Mix of our stage. All the Credit cannot be taken by our present leaders, as Billy Sparks and Arlin Thro handled the job equally well the first year. Thirteen of the members are capable of playing some musical instrument, so that we have our own orchestra. We also have several snappy entertainers, who feature in dance and song.

The silent influence of such well- known characters as Washington, Lincoln, Rooseveltfand Coolidge, pictured on the walls, has impressed us with Fine ideals. This is shown by our motto, HB square, C square, or tleCz . No one member deserves more credit for the success of the groupls work than Leo Campise, our capable president. Our club has taken part in all school activities. One of the big social events of the year was our Christmas party. In January we received an addition of eleven new members, who were initiated at our February meeting. Very impressive initiating services were held, each new member taking the Athenian oath as a part of his pledge to uphold the interests of the club. We regret very much the long illness of one most faithful member of our group, Angelo Gasparini, an untiring corridor oHicer, who never forgot the interest of this room. We all appreciate the work of Francis Hoelscher, our student council representative, upon whom we could always depend, True to our name, we llJunior Optimists are looking forward to a better year.

We waited anxiously until our names were called and then we foilowed our teacher, Miss Claire Scone, to Room 204. We came from several West Side schools, but it took us only a short time to organize our group. We elected Richard Paget our hrst president, and decided on the name, The Busy 204's? In number the girls fairly over- whelmed the boys, twenty-three to ten. The fact was rather disconcerting at hrst, because scarcity of the supply always increases the demand. In the general shake-up 0f the second year, we lost a few members and acquired about fourteen new ones. Albert Early and William Bossart distinguished themselves in the had contest sponsored by the Student Council. We changed class officers, too, and elected Louise Heiliger for president. ' When we discovered that our attendance record was taking a downward direction, a court was established in our room to try the offenders. A conclusion was reached that being tardy because Hthe clock was slowh was a crime of the first order and should be punished as such. The ttbusy idea in our name was a good one, because we attained the 100170 mark in many activities and enterprises, and were rather well represented on the Honor Roll each quarter.

Their hearts were fired with an ambition to reach a goal that could be dimly seen in the far distance. As they looked, they could see, along the highway leading to the coveted place, other groups of people. Some were traveling slowly and with difficulty. The ones best equipped seemed to be gradually working towards the front and there assuming places of responsibility. With this vision before them, the Class of Y7B-l organized with Mary Dombkouski as president, and chose to be known as the HLive Wires. Becoming familiar with their environment, all timidity vanished; and they began both to break and to make a record. Their ranks have been filled by recruits who have proved themselves worthy members of YSA-l. The first president was succeeded by Lavona Lane, who served most efficiently for two semesters and then relinquished the reins to Robert Gibb. Al- though the members of this class are now traveling together, they are beginning to see that the same goal will not serve for all, but that they all enter into a broad plain and from there each must pursue his own course.

Although it is over a year since we forty-one 713,5 were first assigned to Mrs. Mottier, the boys have not yet lost their initial inquisitivcness and desire to taste those tantalizing foods, the handiwork of the girl members. Nor can we ever forget those noisy stools! Those knives and forks on either side of the cooking desks were far too much for our curiosity. Indeed, you might well fancy for us such a name as Chefsf, But no, we adopted the title, HThe Eagles? How our student council representative worked for our club! Do you know about our big drive for HTeddy,s News and our marvelous success with the Yearbook? And how we eclipsed all other rooms in ads ? Our demerit chart has done much to keep our class well organized. Slackers in every phase of our work were voted out by black marks, but somehow very few have failed to be reinstated. Although we have had a prosperous year, we hope by our many experiences to accomplish still greater things another semester- So that we may e,er look back in many ways To dear old Junior High School days.

This ship, consisting of about fifty-Flve staterooms, offices, and cabins, is anchored on the Sea of Knowledge. The chief officers on board are captain, commander and lieutenant com- mander. Lieutenant Junior Grade Knott is in charge of our state- room, number 316, within which are several long tables and many chairs. At one end and side of the room are glass cases and drawers, in which we keep our curios and personal belongings when up for inspection. In the walls of the companionway near our stateroom are little Chests in which we keep such treasures as uReading and Living? itHartis Mathe- matics, nJunior Highway to English, uBusiness Practice, uLatin Primer and many otherseall so necessary to us in our efforts to cap- ture Knowledge. A small room of many mirrors adjoins our stateroom. In this room victims are tortured With needles and pins, yardsticks, and tape measures. Our SOS call, given through a small instrument in the wall, brings immediate response from the commanderis office below. Since we began our cruise, we have had many adventures in the form of Celebrations and shore Leaves. We have taken part in athletics and assemblies, and we have reached the top mast in anking.

The HKnights and Ladies of 211 number fortyetwenty-six knights and fourteen ladies, with every one of us trying his best to live up to the ideals suggested by our name. As in the days of chivalry, high standards of conduct, politeness and courtesy, thoughtfulness for others, helpfulness, and eheerfulness are upheld. How could we help but be cheerful with Joe Lasky I in our midst? We have had Fine leadership in our presidents, Sir Thomas Grimmitt and Sir Robert War- ren. Our good knight, John Gray, has shown his ability as a tratTic officer by holding that po- sition for four semesters. Our stronghold, Room 211-unlike the Round Table of King Arthur in Hthe days of old, when knights were bold -has forty tables, each equipped with a type- writer. These machines we are responsible for, and we show our helpfulness by taking very good care of them. We are now waging a war against ink spots on the floor of our home Room 211 Knights and Ladies A We pride ourselves on our iinklessh floor. No ink spot is allowed to survive the deadly attacks of our two knights, Paul Daedler and George Momaly. Our other battles have been fought-the Blue versus the Orange-for a high banking per cent, a good attendance record, a 10m class in subscriptions to our school paper, and high scholastic standing. Our motto, emblazoned on our shield, is uCharge onward to success.

We were hnally told to follow Miss Hopkins to Room 202, which has been our home ever since. There were twenty-hve of us on that hrst morning, but we have grown to be a class of forty-one. Elizabeth Knight has been our president for three semesters and Ella Lucas our only student council representative. One of our members, Earl Snider, was captain of the lightweight soccer team that won the lVest Side championship in the fall of 1925. Clyde Harris and Rudolph Wells were also members of that team. Barbara Anderson and Howard Arfstrom, our banking captains, have done their best to improve our banking per cent. The losing team will entertain the winners at a picnic. It looks now as if Howard's team would be the hosts. One of our happiest memories is a masquerade party that we held at Marie Straycr's home on Halloween. We played games, told ghost stories, and enjoyed refreshments. Every one voted the party to be a great success. Altogether we have found the Roosevelt Junior High to be all and more than we anticipated, and we hope that we have done our part in making it so. $ - - Page thirty-three Top Eow:gharles Chase, Harold Munson, Perry Anderson Benton Law, Robert Truesdell, Marvin Third Row-Gerald A11ahen,William Evans, Joe Liebovich, Harry Hi11,RiChard Congleton, Douglas Morrison, Robert Dickinson, Donald Moon Hugh Bundlie.

Room 208 Teddq's lDillinq lDorkers The great migration of the 713's began for us in February, 1925, when we left our school homes at Barbour, Church, Garrison, Walker, and Ellis to make the journey overland t0 the famous Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. We arrived safely and were ushered into the big Auditorium, where an inspector looked us over, graded us, and turned us over to our teacher, Miss HaWkinson. We followed her down the hall to a door marked 208. We e11- tered and made the usual rush for the best seats; but we soon quieted down, as we really were awed by the many new things we had seen. It didlft take us long to fall in line, and soon we had organized into a club called HTeddy's W'illing Workers, with an unusual motto, uWe stick like glue to what we know is true. We started to have 100l7r in banking; we were suc- cessful in getting a good many subscriptions for HTeddyis News ; and once we gave a play all our very own in Assembly. We have a president, Willard Damon; a vice-president, Paul McGraw; a secretary, Edmund Stevenson; and a treasurer, Frances Stites. Our club reporter is Benita Winget; our student council representative, John Gilchrist; our sanitary officers. Mildred Johnson and Russell Shores; our traffic officer, Louis Froelich; and our corridor of- frcers, Curtis Robinson and Phyllis Kretsinger.

Thirty-twolof userepresentatives from each of the West Side grade schoolseformed the class known as the ZSB-le. We have had three teachers during our year's existence as a class. When Miss Mil- ler left at the end of the flrst semester, Miss Hyrup took her place. At the beginning of our third semester Miss Hyrup had to go home. We consider ourselves highly honored in having our home room in the Library. We are glad to have such an expansive array of books surrounding usvnot because we are studious during this period, but we do like to look at pictures. Early in the year we chose our name, HThe Blackhawks, and our colors, red and black. John Lounsbury was chosen president, with Annie Tisdale as vice-president, and May Priest secretary and treasurer. Other officers were: Sanitary officers, Theodore Monks and Marion Scriber; traflic olTlcer, Wesley Williams; corridor officers, Keith Chamberlain and Dorothy Mason. Keith Chamberlain, one of our group, is in great demand as an entertainer in our assemblies. We predict for him a future in vaudeville, and for Biagio Cascio, our cartoonist, a career as an artist. Theodore Glover has the honor of being president of our Glee Club. Putting all our bad habits aside, we are a fairly good tribe of Blackhawks; but too often we d01ft put them aside. We hope for better results in the future. Page thirty-seven n um.op Top IISIOWeJaSper Rotello, Roy Shipmau, Tony Pelligrino, Durwuod Nyman, LeRoy Bell, Franklin orman.

We left the drawing room just in time to use the fireplace in our new room as the setting for our Christmas party. We enjoy sitting at the long tables and having access to books and many magazines. We are never crowded, for there are only sixty-two pupils in this spacious room during the Social Activity period. Our room boasts of a basket-ball team, which has not lost a game, the president of Camera Club I, a member of the school basket-ball and champion soccer teams, as well as an efficient student council representative, alert and competent corridor officers, sanitary officers, and traffic police. We are delighted over our success in subscribing for the Yearbook. Since our room has been selected as the home of the trophies, we find ourselves the proud caretakers of two splendid loving cups. I am sure by now yon have guessed that we use Room SOSethe Library. It is hard to realize that we are Sittlng m a schooltoom, for everything is so homelike. We are proud to let so many of the boys and girls share its cheerfulness with us. Sincerely, MISS OLSON'S SPECIALS.

Peter Cassara, our intellectual pride and joy, struggles to record the minutes of our Monday afternoon sessions. thete also is a member of the Junior Press Club, so we manage to burst into print occasionally. Our finances we entrust to Virginia Eddington, the girl with the dimples and the irresistible smile. We admit we're sunk when she approaches us for money. Hope Roberts, Myoma Rupp, and Kenneth Brazzell play the violin in the school orchestra. Faith Griswold brought her saxophone to school one day and tooted a little for Mr. Bornor; whereupon he brought in another chair and told her to play. One of the events of the year was the HTeddy's News subscription contest. The girls won, and the boys in accordance with our motto, D0 right, are going to be hosts at a party.

All were strange and full of wonder Till the big chief made us welcome In a friendly, gracious manner, Speaking words of cheer and inspiration, Allaying much of the confusion By assignment to our rooms and teachers. Forty-one were we in number. Room 224 was our assignment, With Miss Coyle as our first teacher. Here we as a class assembled, Made out cards and paid our money, Received our books with mingled feelings. Many things we planned with spirit Of the good times in the future, Of the parties to be given. Chose our name, ItTHE WINNERS? Elected offlcers and delegates To the student organizations. And so the days were spent in working, And in play and conversation. Gained we poise and understanding From our classmates and our teachers, Guided by our regulations. W ith the ending of our hrst semester, Came changes in our organization. Clubs were added to our course of study; Joyfully we chose our favorite. From our midst left Miss Coyle, our teacher, And in appreciation of her patience We gave to her a farewell present. In the future thatIs before us, In the dim and misty future, Aided by our yearIs experience, Hopes we have of being leaders, Serving in our schoolIs activities, Getting ready for lifeIs battles.

Although we have forty-two desks, they occupy but half the floor space. HThe Jolly 41 of 306 meet regularly every Monday. Our club has sponsored a Halloween party, a Christmas party, and also a valentine box. Our challenge to Room 318 in the Yearbook drive was won t0 the tune of 30 to 20. We are having a spirited banking contest. Last fall, as an incentive to increase our percentage, two teams were formed. Harry Andre became the energetic captain of the uRinkey Dink Savings Club, and Clarence Polaski of the tlJunior High Thrifty Club. The HRinkey Dinks won the hrst semester. Who will be victorious the second? How important we felt when we were allowed to Choose our Friday clubs for second semester-our first privilege as 7A pupils. The Dramatics Club proved most popular. First Aid and Hiking tied for second place. We hope to have conveyed through this history of our class our spirit of loyalty to Theo- dore Roosevelt Junior High. May we, t1The Jolly 41 of 306; always strive to uphold and carry on the beautiful ideals which inspire us here.

We came with a certain feeling of fear and expectation. The feeling of fear soon left us; but the feeling of expectation still remains, since each day new things and opportunities are presented to us. There were forty-two pupils in our group, and this number was evenly divided between the boys and girls. Soon we had our class organized, and Ella Coy was elected to pilot us through the first semester as president. llThe Roosevelt Junior Citizens was, after much discussion, selected as the name of our group. llWe do our best was chosen as a fitting motto, and it has been our aim to live up to this motto in word and deed. We boost for everything that will make the school better and for everything that will make our country and citizens better. During the spring term we started out on a larger sphere of activity. This was shown in one way by publishing our classroom paper, uThe Schoolroom Gossip.u Myrtle Cromwell was elected to serve as president for the second semester, Hallet Desmond as vice-president, Betty Brentner as secretary, and Jane Rounds as treasurer. In this group of ohicers we feel the class can very well put their trust. Next year we look forward to an even better year, since we shall have grown both in wisdom and stature.

We reached the top in banking by each bringing a cent or two. When ttwas the merry Christmas time, we had our party gayv- A gift for each, and candy, too, and jolly games to play. After the happy New Year came tripping it over the snow, It was time to pass from 7B to 7A, you know. When February days were here and brought the Yearbook drive, We did our best, and our subscribers numbered twenty-five. When stormy March had come at last, our program we had planned To give in the Assembly, and we thought it very grand. April showers bring May flowers, but brought us subscription dues. That month each pupil in the room subscribed for uTeddyts News. When April steps aside for May, our Yearbooks wetll look through, With a loyal and proud feeling for the Orange and the Blue. But what is so rare as a day in June? New this month we must praise. We like our school, but most of all we llke vacatlon days!

We are the uFour Square Juniors, and Miss Joyce is our home room teacher. We are thirtyefour 0f the anants who came to Roosevelt in January. The morning we entered we felt quite big and important, but before the end of that day the pygmies seemed giants in comparison to us. We had been separated from our schoolmates. The crowds in the halls frightened us, and we were constantly getting lost. After wandering around the corridors for the first two weeks looking for the right C1assr00ms,hwe fmally became accustomed to changing rooms for each subject. It didIft take long for us to get acqgainted. Then we elected officers. Clarke thzer is our president, Margaret Olson our Vlce-pre51dent, Jane Peterson our secretary, Ross Andrews our treasurer, and Harold Groves our student council representative. We have been interested in school activities, such as subscribing to HTeddy,s News and the Yearbook. The girls formed a team against the boys to see which would have the higher per cent in banking each week. Among the promising athletes in hF. S. J. is Ross Andrews, who is fme at the high jump. We have all worked hard in our new studies, and we hope to be on the Honor Roll next year.

Thirty-four of us were assigned to Room 321, with Mrs. Dougherty as our instructor. The hrst thing we noticed was the many rows of drawers at the back and the side of the room. lnstead of having desks, as we had expected, we saw long tables with seven or eight stools at each one. The queer faucets attracted our attention, and we decided that we would find an art room an interesting place. We elected officers on the third day, when we had our first home room meeting, Mrs. Dougherty acting as temporary chairman. Cletius Harman became our class president. He has been a good one, too, for he is so firm and dignified. We also elected Harry Belknap vice- president, Joe Martingilio secretary, and Pauline Knapp treasurer. In our choice of officers we voted wisely, for they have shown their ability and willingness to perform their duties well. Later we chose HThe Up and Doings for our class name, nWe never stop until we reach our markii for a motto, and the colors blue and white. We havent been here long enough to have a big start, but we intend to grow better and bigger every day.

We elected officers, who have held their positions for five months. We also voted for our name, which is llThe Hustlers? Each letter stands for certain characteristics we hope to attain: H is for honorable. U is for umcljifh. S is for studious. T is for trusty. L is for loyal. E is for earnest. R is for responsible. S is for .vtcady. We have three teams, and captains for each one. Two take care of the banking, two look after the attendance, and two are captains of order. As a class, we are getting along very nicely; and the important thing we are working for is citizenship. We want to be such a splendid room that each teacher will look forward with pleasure to our class every day. We know we are not yet very good citizens, but we are trying our best. By next year we shall have more to say about ourselves. W$ fm- Pagek fortyenine Top Row-Glenn Bolin, Robert Braun, Arthur Sperber, Anthony George, Roy Speer.

Quickly our books and keys were given to us, and then we commenced our journey through the building. Miss Nolan flrst helped us locate our lockers, then each room in which we were to spend a recitation period. We also visited the Cafeteria and found out how to go through the lunch line. This all seemed very easy on that first day. Later, however, we were lost many times and were often late to our classes. But soon this routine became easy. On Monday, February the first, we organized as HThe Busy Beesh and elected the follow- ing ofhcers: president, Theodore Liston; vice-president, Ruth Williams; secretary, Anthony George; treasurer, Phyllis Martin; student council representative, Dorothy Giardono. At the next meeting May Dehn and Peter Dal Par were elected corridor officers, Catherine Noble and Robert Braun sanitary oEicers, and Evans Morey traffic officer. Red and blue were chosen as the class colors. Many mottoes were suggested, but we chose uT0 be kind and unselfish? We are just beginning to make our class history, and we hope to prove worthy of our name and motto.

It was like trying to solve a Chinese puzzle the flrst week, for in going from one classroom to another we were invariably lost. Even though we had our program cards, we lost - our direction. Then we were late for the next class. It did seem at first that we would never adjust ourselves to such a big building and so many new things. In our haste and excitement we dropped many a bottle of ink, and thus added greatly to the janitor's duties. We have been here a few months, and everything seems very simple to us now. Two of our members are in the orchestra, which makes us very proud. Our colors are of red and blue; We try to keep them clean. HBe prepared is the motto, too, Of the crowd of 313. Our best we always try to do; For sports were always keen. Always loyal and always true, The crowd from 313.

Fresh Air Room Room 304 HYes, I'm fifteen pounds under weight? said Margie t0 Annie. ttThe nurse suggested that I enroll in the Fresh Air Room, but I hate to be separated from my Classmates. ttWell, I'd take her advicefy said Annie. That night Margie repeated the nurse's suggestion to her parents. They were eager that she. should gain weight, but they left the choice to her. The next day Margie entered the Fresh Air Room and was initiated into the Health Club. She learned about foods that would make her gain in weight and strength. ttNo wonder I'm under weight,n said Margie to herself. Cooked cereal and milk for me every morning, and fruit and vegetables for lunch and dinner. During rest hour that after- noon Margie slept so soundly that she had to be wakened for her lunch. ttJust think, Motherf, said Margie that night, Hwe take a shower every day! We have a hot lunch at ten, sleep from twelve until one-thirty, and then have another lunch. Margie soon discovered that she was not only gaining in weight, but that she felt better, worked better, and slept better. After three weeks in the Fresh Air Room she confxded t0 Annie, uI know that health comes first. Page fifty-two MQWWU TDgug Top ROWeTed Keller, Mr. Ryan.

Boqs' Basketball and Tumbling Teams The picture of the boys who belonged to the basketball and tumbling teams of the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School during the year 1925 would not be complete without mentioning those who entered the Senior High School in Feb- ruary, as they were good athletes and gave their best to our school while they played for us. They were Tony Cassioppi, Raymond Tramblie, Rickliff Grimmitt, and Charles Mahlburg. Upon entering the High School, Tony and Leonard Pink, another Roosevelt star, played on the High School team, Tony being selected as an all-tournament guard at Freeport and captain of the all-star-tournament team. We played many experienced senior high school teams during the past season, and although we did not win many games, the team received much favorable com- ment as the result of their fight and clean sportsmanship. At the end of the season with an almost new team composed of Captain Troy, Baker, Rotello, King, and Brown, we lost to Lincoln Junior High School two out of three games in competing for the city championship.

Qirls' Swimming Team Swimming is very popular with the girls of the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. Realizing the interest it holds, it seems only htting to choose swim- mers for a representative picture from the six hundred girls in the Physical Educa- tion department. Some in this group have already won individual honorsethe others are going to show their ability in our school Swimming meet this spring. Dorothy Colman holds the plunge record at forty-eight feet. Zella Evans and Myrtle Cromwell are diminutive speedsters in the water. Myrtle is also an accom- plished diver andw-with Dorothy, Faith, Maxine, Catherine, Lucile, Lois, Ernestine, and Hjordisewill compete for school honors in diving. Olga Shast holds the springboard jump record. Maxine and Wilma are the only members of the Red Cross Junior Life Saving Corps. There are four members of this group who are now in Senior High School. Amelia Novak carried away all honors for endurance and diving; Mona Erickson was an excellent plunger for distance; Lucile Patterson and Betty Nordstrom were good swimmers for form in their strokes. We do miss these girls! The desire to combine the advanced girls in a class in which they may develop grace and form in diving, and skill, speed, and endurance in swimming has resulted in an after-school swim on Thursdays. Should you visit this group, you will ask yourself this question, llWhiCh one will be the future champion ? Page fiftyaseven Girls' Activities in the Phgsical Education Department, 1925e1926 The girls of the Physical Education department opened their season with a very interesting exhibition given for the delegates to the Parks Recreation Convention by girl swimmers. The pool was beautifully decorated as a woodland bower, where the fairy queen held her court. The wood sprites in colorful costumes danced, and the water sprites gave an exhibition of swimming and dancing in honor of their fairy queen. The audience was delighted. The pro- .gram was repeated the following evening for the parents. Recreation in the fall began with volleyball. At the beginning of the season the rules of the game were learned in class time. The girls were divided into junior and senior leagues. The seniors divided into six teams, captained by Mary Brown, Hjordis Nelson, Mona Erickson, Amelia Novak, Ethel Hagge, and Loretta Berridge. They displayed brilliance and speed in playing their scheduled games. Mary Brown's team--T. Spack, D. Barnum, A. Bergstrom, A. Nichols, L. Partch and L. Clearywwon the championship. In the juniors, schedule games were slow, but the enthusiasm was keen. Lucile Bailey and her team-mateseK. Fraley, A. Schrader, M. Putnam, M. Gaubas, M. Pahaley, Z. Evans, and Edna Sandmanecaptured the championship from their opponents-M. Cromwell, C. Starr, E. Braid, D. Derby, and W. Wellsecaptained by Elizabeth Kintzel. Snappy games between clubs during Social Activity period gave the honors in this division to the Sanitary OtTicers. Home rooms had interesting games against each other, and at times the boys of the room played the girls.' The boys seemed to win out! During the winter months, while the boys worked in the Gym, girl athletes turned their eyes to the swimming pool. The Fish Tests, which are encouraged for the confidence they develop in a girl, were worked on. Starting as a beginner in the Minnow Test, the girl can climb upward through the Sunfish, Seal, Shark, and Whale Tests, finding herself an all round swimmer and diver. Hjordis Nelson is our only Shark and Amelia Novak our only Whale. In the first semester the Swimming classes of the eighth and ninth grades worked hard on strokes and diving to prepare for the Effciency Tests which were to be passed in March and April. Each girl will have found her rightful class as a swimmer. Happy is the girl who has worked herself into the highest class, and she deserves credit. In May the girls will reap the most benefit from their hard work, as they win places in the Swimming Meet. At mid-semester the boys and girls classes gave a demonstration of their work for par- ents and friends. The girls gave an apparatus number, group games, team games, a lesson in wands, and a lively country dance. The closing number was a pretty dance number by the girls of the Friday dancing class. Every boy and girl rose to the occasion and gave his best work to the audience. ' With the boys, basketball season over, the girls went into the Gym two afternoons a week for recreation. Until baseball season they worked on ropes, springboard, parallel bars, and mats, on basketball and baseball, far throw, clashes, and broad jumps, getting ready for the Girls Annual Indoor Meet. Laura Cleary, Jeannette Turney, Olga Shast, Elizabeth Kintzel, and Lois Savage fought for top place in the jumps. Dorothy Dom, last yearis champion, promised to show up well in the baseball throw. After spring vacation-eyes to baseballs! Club,.home room, and school leagues were or- ganized. Every girl on at least one team was our aim! The Junior and senior leagues closed the season with the fight for championship. Aside from baseball,-let us not forget our balhand jack tournament, which will be scheduled this spring. Ruth Hoffman was last yearis wmner. Hikes are going to be indulged in.with greater vim this spring. Sixth hour classes will find themselves playing baseball at Fairgrounds. Spring brings us outstanding eventsaintramural baseball games, a swimming meet, indoor meet, jacks tourney, and swimming exhibition. Spring will be a busy season for the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School girls.

This splendid organization boasts a large number of well rounded musi- cians who go at their work with an enthusiasm that is remarkable. They are ready with their services at a moments notice for anything that will help put Roosevelt at the top. This or- ganization furnished music for Assembly and assisted in the dedication of the Auditorium curtain. There is a plan under way at the present to award pins to the deserving members of the orchestra. DirectoreMr. Bornor. THE BAND The band is making progress slowly but surely. During the past year the boys played at Assembly and at the Music Week Festival. On these occasions favorable comment signified that this organization is making a place among the pupil activities at Theodore Roosevelt. There are forty-eight boys this semester with the following instruments: two piccolos, one flute, twelve Clarinets, four saxophones, eight comets, four altos, three baritones, five trom- bones, four basses, and five drums. This year emblems in orange and blue were awarded to thirty-five boys who had passed tests on scales, exercises, and assigned parts of music, and who had been members of the organization at least one year.

No. 20 I: 54789. 63 54553. 84 n L Not Sometime but NOW Think of An Automobile of 1901 Vintage and What We Are Going To Say Will Have the Proper Background This is the simple story of the passing of a certain type of adding tand adding onlye machine. We might as well look the matter squarely in the face. The day of the high or low cost straight adding machine has gone. The day of the direct subtractor has come. Approximately one year ago you had to pay from $600 to $1,000 to buy a 10072; printed proof, one operation direct sub- traction featured adding and listing ma- chine. Then Sundstrand produced direct sub- tractor models with adding, listing, and automatic-shift multiplication features at a price range from $125 to $300' And now that adding machine users have learned the tremendous advantages of direct subtraction, it is becoming more and more dlfficult to sell a machine with- out this feature at any price. All understand why a 1901 automobile is obsolete. For the same reasons the ordinary straight adding machine became obsolete when the direct subtractor Sundstrand Marvel Model was announced at a price range which made it available to every type of business, large or small. The other famous Sundstrand standard features are included in all modelseauto- matic-shift multiplication, one hand con- trol, 1007a printed proof, forced printing of totals, simplicity and speed of 10-key keyboard, convenient desk size. Let us demonstrate. You wont be ob- ligated.
