What 309 has done these yearse One night we had a masquerade; What fun we've had and sorrows, tool. A picnic lunch we held one day, We leave you now with hopes and fears. And some one spilled the lemonade! hTri-Mu's is the name of our club-- Barbara Vincent of 309 It may be Greek to you. HAdvanced swimmer proved to be; UMorals, manners, and methods it means, And many of us made the Honor Roll, A motto tried and true. You'll surely all agree. Well, fxrst we won the banking cup, Our class is very musical, Rejoicing loud-yea, verily. And some have lovely Voices. The Home-Lighting Contest was won When the orchestra plays in Assemblye By Milton Goff and others three. Oh, ltis then our class rejoices! An attendance contest then we had We're sorfy that were leaving now; W'ith 307, our neighboring foe. W1th Jumor ngh we're through. W'e won again, and as a result Think kindly of Room 309, They took us to the picture-show! And good luck to all of you! Page eighteen

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. Page nineteen
