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. Page thirteen

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
