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.

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. Page sixteen
