Both drawings and Writeups have therefore, with a few ex' ceptions, been secured through projects in the Art and English classes and through the work of student committees. The names of the pupils composing these committees will be found on a later page of this book. , 8 Q ,. -f-fL.,L- ,fl f,1 :l.A'1L. 4 --f figfr Q' 'V ,. if j . L4 7x3 tif ,-' , 151' ,T ,.

An aesthetic ap' preciation of our language and a mas' tery of technique have made possible her achievement. To her we affecf tionately dedicate this book.

R.'s have just completed the third volume of the Book of Knowledge written during their stay at Roosevelt. You are no doubt familiar with the first two volumes, so we shall mention only a few interesting things to be found in Volume Three. First of all, we find the names of four new students who joined our ranks in September. Alice Schell, Mildred Schellschmidt, and Lucille Wright were transferred from Room 217, and Annetta Collings entered from a junior high school in DeKalb. Upon turning a few pages, we discover the names of six students who have made the covet' ed Honor Roll. They are Mary Premozic, Annetta Collings, Fern Skinn, Helen Hulten, Ruth Grimes, and Dorothy Boynton. Further on we read that Lorraine Ericson and Helen Hulten did some very good work as class reporters, and that Lorraine held the office of exchange editor on the staff of Teddgfs News. as well as making a name for herself as class poet of Room 222. Lu- cile Wright and YVilma Gerretson, members of the Student Council, proved capable leaders in matters pertaining to the good of our school. ln banking and in subscriptions to 'l eddy's News we often reached the 100 per cent goal. Not all our time was spent in work, however, for many special occasions were celebrated by social events which everyone enjoyed. The remaining volumes of this book are to be written in years to come, and it is hoped that bigger and better things may be recorded in its pages: but the Truly Reliablesu will always have pleasant memories of the years spent at Roosevelt junior High School. page thirteen Top Row: Harold Groves, Robert Alexander, Charles Unangst, Ray Davis, Richard Anderson, Roy Yuccas, Paul Mar' elli, Owen Hoffman, Third Row: John Eklund, Clarke Hyzer, LaVerne Allen, Richard Madden.

The Four Square uniors 9A Room 216 The Four Square dirigible, Strive for the Best, flying on Route 216, had stopped at Sta' tion 9B the last time it was heard from. All the passengers took a vacation of eleven weeks be' fore resuming the flight toward Station 9A. Due to illness, two of our number-Ross Andrews and lane Peterson-had to remain at Station 9A, but five new members were taken aboard, mak- ing a total of thirtyfseven seeking airport entry to Senior High. The requirements for entry at this port were more severe than at any station along our three years' course. This was due to the examinations given by the officers at Port 9A to find out how much English, algebra, general science ,and social science each passenger had. However, in general, this part of the journey was more successful than any other, we think. To make the trip more enjoyable, every passenger took a Teddyhs News along with him. A 100 per cent banking banner floated above the ship most of the time. Lee, Allen, Madden, and Boettcher entertained us with athletic contests. Davis, Hoffman, and Alexander helped supply band music for our delight. Hyzer brought honor to us by having his name enrolled with the intellectuals of Roosevelt. jane Smith's Halloween party will be remembered as one of the happy times along the way. A new pilot, Marion Harvey, guided the ship during the last five months of our trip. Her aids were LaVerne Allen, assistant pilotg Martha Ryan, private secretaryg Willis Harris, fare col' lectorg Harold Grovesycouncilorg and Janet Savage and Helen McNeany, reporters. page fourteen I Top Row: Robert Lundstrom.

The Spirit of 321 9A Room 321 This is Station TRI H S, broadcasting reports from the educational flight of The Spirit of 321, which took off beautifully in the month of February, 1926. and pointed its way through the dense fog of education on its flight toward Rockford High School. We will continue from the report made on the 9B trip, completed in june, 1928. After spending about two months in repairing and refueling the ship, The Spirit of 3121 took off in September, 1928, along the 9A Route. Marie Reilley was at the controls. The fog surrounding education decreased considerably along the way, and both crew and passengers were able to get much enjoyment out of the trip. Some of the passengers of note were Captain Stanley Iosephitis of the Roosevelt football team, Richmond Shipley of the swimming team, and several members of the Roosevelt band and orchestra. The plane's officers were Marie Reilly, Ramona Bordner, and Veronica Hausmaun. In addif tion to these, there were the following members of service organizations: Student Council Member-Mildred Hehir Reporter--Pauline Knapp Girls' Sanitary OfficerAAnna Lincke Boys' Sanitary Officer-Roy Norberg Traffic Officer-Horace Olmsted As the plane starts on its course along IOB, all its passengers look forward to a successful and pleasant voyage. page fifteen -3 -Y Y ,L Y, ,, ,, , 4 Top Row: George Licl:-ich, Harold Molainder, William Brown, Paul Patton.

The Haunted 302's 9Ai ROOIII 302 At last the enchantment is broken, and we are no longer The Haunted 302's. For three years we have had visions of gaining honors in the Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. Our greatest aim was to see some of our names emblazoned on the Honor Roll. This goal we never reached, but, due to the fact that four of our members lost several times by only a few points, we ask you to watch for us on the Senior High School Honor Roll. After a most persistent struggle, on December 5, 1928, we reached our second goal-100 per cent in banking. Our greatest honor came to us at a meeting of all the 9A groups in the auditorium on Ian' uary the fourteenth. when two of our members were elected class officers. Roy Speer, who has served so efficiently in many capacities, was chosen 9A president, and William Brown, secre- tary and treasurer. - We are proud of our four boys-Charles Marinaro, Paul Patton, Jack Fawcett, and Roy Speer-for their part in winning the city football championship.

This program is brought to you through the courtesy of the Yearbook Com- mittee, operating in connection with the T R I H S, maker of fine students. The program this far has been .under the leadership of several well'known members of this station. Leona Bell and Lee Daniels' our chief announcers, have been ably assisted by the sec- retaries, June Finlrbeinerf-anti Viola Speake, while all financial matters have been managed by Virginia Rosquist and Betty Andrews. The star, or Honor Roll, performers are Barton Smith, june Kasper, Louise Garver, Charles Brodine, Ruth Eastwood, Valeria Berzin, Leona Bell, and Janet Croon. Station S O S has had many social functions in the last year. Among these were a Hal' loween party, a Christmas party, a sleighfride, and a coasting party. S O S gave a benefit broaNdcast at the Roosevelt High School. William Mets was the an- nouncer in charge. The famous five-quarter football game was broadcasted. Weather reports were given by Professor KnowfNothing. After the program Charles Brodine, the radio salesman, talked on the merits of the mammoth, phonic, superfiodine radios. Several sets were sold. Honorable mention should be given to several members of Station S O SHRuth Eastwood, president of Student Councilg Louise Garver, editor of the paper: Richard Keltner, president of Sanitary Officersg and Barton Smith, assistant chief of the Traffic Officers. Our charter as a station began three years ago, and it is almost up. We will soon give over the microphone to some new station so that it may continue the work. This is Station S O S now signing off. When this station continues broadcasting, it will be on a Senior High School wave length. page seventeen N. N x if of Sf 3 YS Lk ' Q5 , N ': 3 A .J- -Q. sa!- S gy! 5 s .l W .I 4. fi .

Tau Cmega Epsilon 9A Room 308 It seems incredible that three years have rolled by since we, the Tau Omega Epsilon's, land' ed from our various quarters in the ship, Grade School, to start our tour of the mountain range, Theodore Roosevelt High School. The territory was new and strange to all of us, but even then we could see, with a sensation of awe, high mountains looming dimly in the dis' tance like huge sentinels over the foothills in which we now found ourselves. Although we could not grasp their full significance, we knew that they stood for Success-or Failure. Espef cially has this last year been full of adventure as our interesting and experienced guides, our teachers, have opened before our eyes a very fairyland of knowledge. There have been stops by the wayside, also, when wc have refreshed ourselves with such social events as Halloween, Christmas, and sleighfriding parties, and a valentine box: and then, lest we forget those who were less fortunate climbers than we, food and clothing were sup- plied a poor family at Christmas. Tau Omega Epsilon means 308, and from the Greek letters we took our motto, Truthful, obedient, and energetic. As we look upon the heights already scaled, the real' ization of what we might have accomplished had we better obeyed our standard, overwhelms us. Our records in attendance, tardiness, Teddy's News, banking, and scholarship would have been much better had we done so: although Anna Rimkus, Frieda Brunn, and Elizabeth lohns have been constant leaders of the Honor Roll, while Howard Kasch, Pauline Medaris, R'aymond Conley, and Donald Cornelius have also attained it. So now we stand-not where we would like to be, but as near as our efforts have brought us. Adieu, Roosevelt! Many fond memories of you linger, memories that will not be forgotten. page eighteen l,,t . g -3 N, ' ' l 1 K 1 F0-N ,- '. ,fu If L, ' 5 f-1 ' 3 ,f , ,v ., . ' . ,, -4.

We have run 307, one of the oldest cars in service, out of the barn to make a last trip before june 21, 1929. Talking earnestly with the conductor, Miss Herrick, are Paul Prather and Dorothy Foster, president and vice-president, respectively, of this traction company. We sup' pose they are discussing some of the places of interest she has pointed out along the Way. Homer Messer, with his pockets full of nickels and dimes, is still ringing up fares: while Peter Povif laitis is busy writing in a book. ' Some of our passengers have recently made the climb to the summit of Mount Honor. They are Dorothy Foster, Dorothy Culbertson, Leona Eschenbaum, Betty Rolph, jane Peterson, and Caroline Shaver. We have to stop to let on our basketball and football players, Malcolm Pierce and George Zipse. Malcolm begins talking with Peter Povilaitis about the next swimming match, when Vito Valenti comes up to join them. Some of our girl passengers are athletes, too. Caroline Shaver and Betty Rolph swam for the girls, and their volley hall team won secpnd place in the championship tournament. Arthur Monks is amusing his friends by ringing the bell, while Wrennie Grogan entertains them with his Irish wit. - Our next passenger is Sam Hall. When he gets on, the trolley runs off because of the extra weight. But the skillful hand of the conductor soon gets things in running order again. ' We see we are nearing the end of the line. We all rush forward, hoping to get transfers for Senior High. l page nineteen I 1 X '!. rf Top Row: Vincent Kcnerson.

The-:ABC's of ll6 9A Room 116 Many may have thought the former pupils of 317 had gone out of existence. but we have moved from our old quarters to a place where nice smells of delicious foods issue from the oven door. There! You have guessed it. The number is 116. - This year we have had better records with grades, attendance, banking, and Teddy's News. Our record in athletics has not dropped. With Nellie Zuklie as captain, the girls have won the volley ball championship of the school. There are five boys from the room that are members of the band. They are Billy Clark, Robert Shipley, Robert Wilson, Robert Solem, and Brice Sheets. We are very proud to have in our room Richard Fall, who is chief of the Traffic Officers Clubg Robert Shipley, who is president of the Woodworking Club: and Robert Wilson, who is vicefpresident of the same club. We had several parties during the year, starting with a Halloween party held at Carl Frithiof's home. Later we had a sleighfride. After the sleighfride we were entertained at the home of Robert Wilson. A valentine party was held at Robert Shipley's home. The officers of our room are Mildred Sutton, Janice Ryan, and Pearl Thorpe, girl sanitary officersg Guy Holcomb, boy sanitary officer: Richard Fall.

VJe have had some wonderful times at our good old Roosevelt junior High, and we leave it with happy yet sad hearts. Nye hope that our teachers at Senior High will he as faithful, patient, and jolly as those we have had at Roosevelt. We have enjoyed merry times at the Halloween and Christmas parties which we have had each year. Our latest event was a theater party. Mildred Hendrick, Marion Pettengill, and Bess Bennett have been faithful cheer leaders for our football and basketball games. Our best swimmers are Mildred Hendrick, Bess Bennett, Madeline Hehir, Leona Shaw, Marion Eustice, and Bonnie Baker. Tony Gelezus, Ralph Mefford, Harold Martin, Charles Sacia, Leon Kingdom, and Vincent Buscemi are fond of basketball, track, and football. Seven new members have been added to our room, which makes an enrollment of thirty' eight. They are Mildred Hendrick, Lora Starrick, Beatrice Boldock, Jennie Vcroni, Phillip Can' nella, Harold Jester, and Frederic Belter. We are leaving a small will in which we bequeath to some deserving incoming seventh grade pupils Vincent Buscemfs ability to sell basketball tickets. Ralph Mefford's black fur coat and red hat, Marion Eustice's eternal smile, Cecelia Freak's bobby pins, Madeline Hehir's combs, and Charles Saciafs shoe'clips.

' Teclcly's Troopers 9A , ROOIII 304B Whit-r-r! The monoplane 304-B, passenger carrier of the Theodore Roosevelt Airplane As- sociation, taxied out of the hangar on September 6, 1928. Our pilots, or class presidents, for this flight were Lois Pearce and Robert Knight. Assist- ing these were Harold Naber and Herbert Murphy, vice-presidents. Our secretaries and treasurers were David Pekarsky and Lois Pearce. , At first the plane tilted and swerved as it was lost in the clouds called unfindable rooms, lockers, and elevators, but soon it righted itself and with a roar disappeared from sight. On all sides planes were rising, but ours was aided by two Champion Swimming winds, namely Robert Knight and Grace Swenson. Soon we hit a severe head wind, called Outside'Assignments, which interrupted our peace- ful slumber in the night. The injured were sent to 201, the hospital, to be cured. Occasionally we tangled up in tail spins, commonly known as tests, in which a few received injuries. Once in the storm, a stray shooting star struck two of our members between the eyes, resulting in the wearing of glasses of the horn-rimmed variety. While in a very high altitude our motor stalled, but our Honor Roll students, Darmentina Mamme and Lois Pearce, managed to patch it up. Our plane is now beginning to descend from the clouds and is seeking a new and strange landing place, the Senior High. page twenty-two 1 l . 1,5 '7 . i f I ,K A ' , Z r - L ,K i - q :E Xb.: t ' i .

The Spirit of 3 l 6 9A Room 316 About forty boys and girls have turned out for the 316 team. We find that Miss Knott is going to be our coach throughout the year. The game of the season, Knowledge vs. Ignorance, has come, and everyone is on edge. The whistle blows and the referee, Mr. Muth, walks out to the center circle to toss up the ball and get the game going. Again the whistle shrieks, and the center tips the ball to the forward, who shoots a long one for 100 per cent in banking. The next time we take the ball our English star sinks one for a good average in English. Now there is a free throw on account of late outside assignments. We attempt to take the ball down again, and one of our players goes out with a sprained ankle received when he stumbled over a book report. However, the sub comes in, and a score of 100 per cent in attendance is made. Next our big center cages a long one for a high average in algebra. Now is the half time. We keep the same coach and captain, and a few new players enter the game. The game is on again. Russell Soper starts in with a bang and lands a pretty friendship booklet score of 100 per cent. So the game goes on. The other side makes a few scores on failure slips, but this is soon remedied by extra diligence in the library. At the last quarter intermission the water boy brings out copies of Teddy's News. and three fourths of the members are refreshed by subscriptions. At last the game is over, and wc have won. We play next in the tournament at Rock' ford High in September, 1929. X page twcntyfthrcc ri xt ' ' ' x. , ,. I j W NX '..'u -. 'Z' Xi . X N Nrk .ffl s Call IX rs. ' ri' X Q Tis. l 1 .

The 2l0 Buccaneers 9A Room 210 On September 6, 1928, wc sailed on the good ship, Roosevelt, for a ten months' cruise on the Sea of Study. About forty of us had booked passage and had been given passports in the form, of keys for our lodkers. Interesting books, program cards, and new acquaintances made the first weeks of our trip pass very pleasantly. U Under the guidance of our skilled pilot, Mr. Van Barriger, we had succeeded in getting a good start but presently huge waves of Outside Assignments and hidden reefs of Themes made the going extremely perilous. Lifefpreservers in the form of Study Hours and Opporf tunity Classes were thrown out to save us. Most of us grasped these aids eagerly, but, sad to say, a few of us refused the offered help and were drowned. Our boat stopped at various ports along the route, and some of the passengers made short excursions to the ports of Football, Basketball, and Track, while others visited the harbors of Band and Orchestra. Many plans were made by the ship's officers for our progress and entertainment. Every Tuesday a splendid Assembly program was given in the auditorium. On Wednesday we were encouraged to bring money to bank, and many of the passengers took advantage of this op' portunity. A fair number subscribed for Tedcly's News, the paper sponsored by the whole fleet, and our clubs furnished a pleasant way of ending each week. Many pleasant memories of our trip remain with us, and we are hoping that those who take the same cruise next year will enjoy it as much as wc. page twcnty'four a V B I A s gif: 1 , ,. iff ' , V .

We of .20 I 9A Room 201 Vkfhirl whir! Out rolled the smoke from the exhaust pipe, and round went the propellers. Aeroplane 201 was in motion with Miss Blackburn as chief Overseer. Riding by aeroplane seemed so much more modern than riding by train that we decided to make that last part of our trip through Roosevelt Junior High at this speedier rate. Patrick Frewin was our first pilot, and well did he steer our lane through many a stormy business meeting. Helen Beach was assistant pilot, Doris Boyce kept the records of the trip, and Cynthia Druger never failed to collect our nickels and dimes. ln the middle of the trip we had to land to take one of the passengers, Arthur Sperber, to the hospital. By Christmas time we were rather tired of riding, and so we stopped to rest for a week. First we celebrated by having a party. We were treated to candy canes, sent to us by Aero' plane 308. They had challenged us to a banking contest, and we had proved to be the winners. When we started on the second part of our trip. we changed crews. Helen Beach be' came chief pilot, Glen Woodburn our assistant pilot, Howard Biggert our keeper of the rec' ords, and Doris Boyce took charge of our money matters. During this part of our journey we were forced to land and leave several members of the group. We were very sorry to go on without them, but Senior High Airport seemed to be getting closer and closer, and we dared not delay. We are looking forward to our yearbooks and our farewell party that will remind us- as nothing else can-that our threefyear journey through Roosevelt junior High is finished. We hope that we will all meet again in the airport named Senior High. page twenty-five ,M X. J o Top Row: Frank Eyde, John Vincenll, Emile LoPiccolo, Franklin'My ers, Ralph Jewell, Harold Green.

Then you may make suggestions. Ruth Seidel: When we came to junior High School three years ago, we chose our name, which is T1ifMu's. It stands for Morals, manners, and methods. Each letter stands for certain characteristics we have tried to attain: T is for trusty. R is for responsible. I is for industrious. M is for methodical. U is for unselfish. S is for steady. Rose Collura: Mr. President, you might say that we raised our banking per cent this year, although we have never had 100 per cent. Fra-nk Houston: We had two students on the Roosevelt basketball team-Ralph Jewell and Pierino Marinelli. joe Cavallero: Mark Ferris is a member of the orchestra, and Angelo Cazzanigo and Tony Arduino are in the band.

He was introduced by our capable and efficient president, Helen Purnell. Another important event was the Halloween party held at the home of Chellis French, which was very much enjoyed by those who attended. We had nineteen on the Honor Roll at one time the first semester. With a few exceptions we have had a banking record of 100 per cent each week. Every member of our room also sub- scribed to 'l'eddy's News. Lucy White, our reporter. had the honor of being on the staff of 'I'eddy's News both semes' ters, being athletic editor the first semester and associate editor the second. Our club officers were as follows: during the first semester-president, Helen Purnell: vice-president, Edward Webb: secretary and treasurer, Russell Bertg parliamentarian, Ralph boudersg during the second semester-president, Chellis Frenchg vice'president, Helen Purnell: secretary and treasurer, Russell Bertg parliamentarian, Geraldine Black. To those who have helped us in our journey through Theodore Roosevelt junior High School, we owe a debt we can never repay. We realize that for every benefit we have re- ceived we should give a service in return.

We have among our numbers a few- Such as Gertrude, Frederic, and Oliver so true-- Who have climbed to a place of the highest rank, And made us proud of them, you can bank. We have talent galore, artists not a few, Musicians and singers and athletes, too. We are one for the other a loyal band, Working and striving hand in hand. Several parties have added their measure of fun, Sleigh-rides, wienie roasts-good times, every one.

Roosevelt Stars 8A Room 202 Cn September 6. 1928, forty happy students filed into Room 202. From that time on, that group of students has had a very satisfactory record. Everyone knows that an intelligent group of junior high school students cannot be kept in the background. Vv'ell, to prove that that is the case, we'll take a peek at 202. First of all we will look at their clramatics recorcl. Such pcrsonages as Sarajane Jensen, Helen Granath, Edward Mosk, john Kinley, June Snively, Robert Lawson, jack Knorr, and others have represented 202 many times in Assembly. Next we come to 202's athletic record. The boys have had baseball teams, football teams, and hockey teams. The girls have had teams of the sports that appeal to girls. You can just bet that 202 is athletically inclined. Another important thing is 202's scholastic record. Phyllis Crowell, Sarajane Jensen, Audrey Roth, John Kinley, Rosemary Atchison, lane Locke. and Rita Bengstrom have astounding ability in readin', ritin', an' 'rithmetic. We must now pause for a moment and glance at 202's social life. As 8B's 202 had as its leaders Billy McNeany, president: Edward Mosk, viccfpresidentg Barbara Gleichman, secretaryg and lane Locke, treasurer. These officers gave 202 their best for five months. During the SA semester with Lucien DuPlain as president, Robert Lawson as vicefpresident, Nancy Marsh as secretary, and Phyllis Crowell as treasurer the 202's were again led successfully through a hard semester. Well, folks, I hope you have enjoyed our peek at 202. Good luck to you till we meet again. f Mix page thirty-two .Ji ,fs 7 1 K -1 A 'JM '.

President Qcalling meeting to orderj: Another year has rolled around, and it is time to ren' der a report for the yearbook. The secretary will please read the review for the year. Secretary: Last fall Room 202 entered upon its second year at Roosevelt. Our enthusiastic football squad thoroughly enjoyed all games. At the end of the season we were winners except for one longftofbefreinembered conflict. The two plays sponsored by our group, Samuel Snicker- witzfs Halloween and The King's GreatfAunt Sits on the Floor, deserve special mention. A splendid Christmas party with a tree, Santa Claus, 'n' everything completed the year. During the second semester we made a successful drive for Teddy's News. Next we con- tributed six dollars to the Municipal Sanitarium fund. Then we decided to concentrate upon banking, but we are sorry to say we were unable to maintain a permanently high percentage. Spring vacation called our attention to the fact that the year was fast drawing to a close. At times, when Mother Nature beckoned so enchantingly, it was hard to keep the three R's in the foreground. Nevertheless, our room was several times represented on the Honor Roll. President: This report brings both satisfaction and regret. We must recognize that for Room 211 this second semester has been the beginning of better achievements and that we should be ready in September with the right spirit for ninth grade. Is there a motion to accept the report? Hayes Smytlte: I move that the report be accepted. Chorus: And I-and I.

The program is to consist of a dc' scription of a trip with the Tourists through the Theodore Roosevelt junior High School during the school year of 1928 and 1929, We first arrive at the headquarters of the Tourists, Room 306B. Here we find Miss Reitsch, as chief guide, glancing at the Honor Roll list. She notices that during the year three students reached this goal. They were Evelyn Meier, Helen Butkus, and jean Leland. Miss Reitsch points out that in banking the Tourists have maintained an average of ninety per cent or above during the year. Room 114 challenged them to a banking contest. The Teddv Bear Tourists were vic' torious every time. We find, too, that they were loyal supporters of Teddys News. We now pass down the corridor until we reach the gymnasium. On one side we see Captain Anna Povilaitis and her team of volley ball players who won the championship of the eighth grade. On the other we see Captain Richard Church and his basketball stars.

The Climbing Z04,s 8A Room 204 It was in an ambitious moment that we named ourselves The Climbing 204's. It has been a hard name to live up to, and yet it has inspired us to raise our standards in school ac' tivities. Banking is one thing in which every room may take an active part, and in this we have struggled to be a credit to the school. We expect the world to hear from us some day. Out of his inkwell Lawrence Whitaker is creating characters that will in time undoubtedly rival those of john T. McCutcheon. Harold Wicks will surely make a record also, for he has not been absent or tardy in two years. Our only fear is that there will not be enough of us left to make a fair showing when we become 9A's. Eight of our class have dropped out during this school year. The most enjoyable social event of the year was our Christmas party. We made merry with a Christmas tree, a program, and the distribution of the gifts with which we showered each other and which had been selected with great care from the counters of a Woolworth store.

' The Lindbergh Pioneers 8B Room 305 When we assembled at Flying Field 7A for our second flight on the good plane, Theodore Roosevelt, our chief pilots, Elizabeth Brown and Charles Tisdale, led us to the airplane and made preparations for our departure. Anthony Cavataio and Burton Hudson, our mechanics, assisted the pilots. On September 6 we made an excellent takeoff on the first lap of our trip to Field 7A. jack Brereton and Wilhelmina Neiman kept a record of each day's events, while Donald Nordquist and Lenore Winget kept our plane refueled. As we sailed on towards our goal, many things greeted us. We passed over a field named Honor Roll. Here two of our party landed and then made successful flights. They were Eliza- beth Peterson and Thelma Layman. At the next station everyone on board left the plane at the invitation of Merrill Kruger, one of the passengers. He entertained all at a lively Halloween party at his home, which was but a few miles from the field. The guests had such a good time that it was decided to have more social activity during the flight, so a Christmas party was planned for December 21. As we neared the end of our journey, different passengers leaped out in parachutes to attend to various duties. Homer Griffith went to join the Roosevelt football team, while Paul Bender and Donald Nordquist represented us on the swimming team. Mildred Darnell was a member of the girls' swimming team. Most members of the Lindbergh Pioneers are trying to keep up to schedule on this flight through 8B course so as to be ready to hop off from Flying Field 8A next year. fp., , 4 x X f I ww lla page fortyftwo , N' ,J .125 xp Jag iff? ,f O If .6 I Top Row: Raymond Shockey, Roy Kreuger.

We are proud to have Elizabeth Bentley, Lois Starr, and Veo Veitch members of the Swimming Club. Our band member is Ralph Spielman, and our orchestra members are Veo Veitch, Ray' mond Hubbard, john Woodford, and Roy Kruger. One of our happiest memories is that of our Halloween party held October 29 in' Lois Starr's garage. Some of the children of the neighborhood locked us in, but fortunately Lois knew of another exit. Our room is hoping to reach a place on the Honor Roll soon and to obtain 100 per cent in banking. In fact, we want to improve in every way next year when we shall have grown in wisdom as well as in stature.

Little Women 8B Room 301 Probably many of the boys think that a group of mere girls cannot manage a home room successfully, but we are ready with proof of our ability in this line. Early in the fall we reorganized and chose officers. Then we set to work in earnest and, remembering our previous championship honors, straightway won three games out of four in vol' ley ball. Through the efforts of Angelina Armato and Cozy De Verdi we also contributed our share to auditorium exercises. Although our banking record has not been remarkable, we went over the top with 100 per cent several times during the year. We wish we might say as much for our interest in 'Teddy's News. Vsfe had a delightful Halloween party at the Illinois Cottage with Miss Fletcher as chaper' on, and we invited some of our friends to help us enjoy our good time. At Christmas time we exchanged gifts and came to the conclusion that there really is a Santa Claus, for Mr. Larson wouldn't joke with us. Our teachers say we know how to use our lips too well. Perhaps that accounts for our splendid music record. We are proud of our fame in the music room, and we must admit that our heads were turned a bit with so much praise. Altogether Little Women of Room 301 have experienced a happy and successful year.

A table is set for its members daily in a neighbor' ing cafeteria where no attendance prizes are necessary, because its members are too congenial to care to eat elsewhere. The lunches are purely social and all business is transacted at weekly meetings in the shop with Frank D'Agostine acting as president: joe Salvato, vice-president, and Alvin Palmer, secretaryftreasurer. Representatives in civic betterment organizations include Frank Key, trafficg George Rumore, sanitation: and Alvin Palmer, Chamber of Commerce. Believing that the accumulation of capital is essential.to success in business, the association has made systematic saving one of its main objectives this year. Members have been so enthu- siastic that each one has become a weekly depositor. The amount has not been large enough for them to entertain the thought of large investments with the interest, but it is the habit that has been considered important. A lively interest in sports has resulted in the sponsoring of a team in every athletic league in the community. At this time the basketball team remains undefeated and, in the annual swimming meet between Roosevelt and Lincoln, Norman Shoemaker made l4l6 of the 33 points which gave Roosevelt victory. No remarkable record has been made by the others, but the pub- lic has seen that the 90 and 9 are up and coming, and the players have immensely enjoyed the games. page forty five .

Teclcly's Trusties 7A Room 223 As the Little Lame Prince sailed to many lands on his magic cloak, so the pupils of Room 123 sailed on a magic cloak, or what seemed to be one, to the auditorium of Theodore Roose' velt Junior High School on September 6, 1928. We were not frightenedg we were merely thrilled, like the Little Lame Prince, at the idea of entering an entirely different life from the one We had been leading. We were sent to Room 223 with Miss Scone as our home room teacher. After a few days came the exciting day of having our first meeting. We found it much fun electing the officers. John Knight was elected president, john Pierce vice-president, Mar- garet johns secretary, and Mary Dru Groves treasurer. The sanitary officers were Bob Carns and Barbara Murray, Anne Wettengell was reporter, and Marcella Wilke was our Student Council member. ' H Six girls made the Honor Roll the first semester. They were Margaret Johns, Anne Wet' tengel, Mary Dru Groves, Marcella Wilke, Alyce Shelden, and June Mielke. As nothing can prosper on work alone, the pupils of 223 realized that they couldn't either. So we had four parties during the year-one at Halloween, one at Christmas, a sleighfride, and a valentine party. In banking we have had 100 per cent all but three times. Our attendance has always been high, and we almost got 100 per cent in subscriptions to Teddyk News. How can a room get along without a court? We decided that if we were going to ini' prove the morals and standards of the room, we would have to have one. If we had space, we would tell you all about it. Now, like the Little Lame Prince, we have reached the tower and we are looking forward to many more exciting experiences. page forty'six W1 Top Row: Wallace llalsted, Kenneth McNeal, Richard Wedel, ,lol.n Snow. jack Cronk,.Stanton Craig, Victor Merchant, Herbert Gsell.

The keeper of many bees chose Miss Weld for the queen of this hive. Since that day we have often been seen and heard buzzing down the shady lanes, or halls, into the clover fields, sometimes called classrooms, after our food. According to our grades, we have a special liking for the flowers called mathematics, English, and social science. We live wellfordered lives in our community with each worker attending to his duties. We are interested in all of the school activities and have co-operated by having 100 per cent in banking and 100 per cent in 'Teddy's News. We have not worked all the time as we have had Christmas and valentine parties. The leaders of our hive have been: First Semester Second Semester Richard' YVedel ...,.............. ..., ,....,,.

It makes us happy that you like Roosevelt so much. This semester everything seems to be going nicely. We lost our chance to get on the Hon' or Roll when we lost you, however. This is a source of regret to us. Our banking average has been 88 per cent, while our attendance average is considerably above 90 every month. You recall that all but three of us subscribed to Teddy's News the first semester, twentyffive of us signed up for the yearbook, too. You see we have school spirit in Room 219. We started out with an enrollment of thirtyfsix last September, but now we are thirtyeninc. Clyde Seiter, Virginia Turney, and Blake Gerber have joined our class lately. Leon, we have not been able to decide on a name for ourselves, so we are simply 7Af?.19. When you return next September, let's be the Fighting Forty or some other equally aggressive group at Roosevelt. We are anxious to see you again and to haveyou with us, for we feel that next year has more work, more play, and more fun than ever in store for us.

Wlien we Teddy Bears first arrived at the circus grounds last September, we entered the main tent to be assigned to our own wagon, 203. Miss Ferguson distributed trunk-keys and tickets, and gave us the outline of our route for the semester. She pointed out the sidefshows-- English, mathematics, social science, art, music, dramatics, home arts, and home mechanics. After she took us through the mess hall, in which we were very much interested, we began training in earnest. For three shows out of four, Dorothy Cullman won the honors. Ninety- six per cent of us attended every performanceg eightyfeight per cent saved money. Gnly two left our wagon for good. john Matthews left for a while, but he came back to rejoin us.

Bothrof you can recallour splendid Christmas party when Santa Claus fooled us all. St. Valentine Day was especially enjoyable because Phyllis sent her greetings to Miss Morse and several of the girls. Many of the children attended a sleighfride party one of those cold, zero nights. What cared we for icy blasts and slippery roads? Everybody had a jolly time. We mustn't forget to mention the changes in our second semester program. First of all the joy of every 7B's heart was fulfilled with that first plunge into the pool. The girls have had still another treat-cooking. They claim they have become experts in the past few months. Our scholarship as a whole has improved, and several of our class have almost made the Honor Roll. We hope that next year Room 217 will be represented. We hope you have been happy at Lincoln Junior High, but don't forget your old friends who will be glad to welcome you back to the fold.

Teclcly's Boosters 7A Room 306A This is Station TRJH, and from our studio on the third floor Teddy's Boosters are broad' casting on a wave length of two hundred seventyffive words by order of the Yearbook Com' mission. Burton Corell announcing. Our efficient corps of assistants includes Hortense Hill, Wayne Seidel, John Budnausltis, Henrietta Dailey, john Gough, and Nadine Morgan. At this, our initial broadcast, we wish to announce that we are very well satisfied with our new location. The personnel of our studio, coming last fall from the several small local stations, are very proud to have a part in the program put on the air by this huge and powerful station. Our studio activities are varied and interesting. We have average participation in banking, and about half of us are subscribers to Teddy's News. We realize that some of us could be bet' ter boosters: and, with renewed efforts, we expect to do better next year. Our recreational needs are well taken care of. We have had a Christmas party, a valentine box, and many story hours. In one corner of our studio hangs a record of our individual successes as Teddy's Boosters. We are duly proud of our 100 per cent boosters-Margaret Lee, Irma Pierce, and Guida Wiclte. They have had perfect attendance, they bank each Wednesday, and they subscribe each semes- ter to Teddyls News. Many of us fulfill one or two of these requirements, but it is difficult in' deed to fulfill all three. We trust you have enjoyed our program and invite you to tune in again next year at the same time for our next annual broadcast. TRJH now signing off. Good luck! G VI' rf., .

When we came in the fall,fiJve wondered if we'd eve ,get to know where we were going or why we were going there, but now ,ve feel' like old ' rs. We call our room The Workers of Roosevelt Junior High, for wbe55,bis the best Kiqgwe learned to do. 1 ,X hile we a ll our record perfect, still we have tried to have it show improvement. The ups an do s of our banking percentage would probably make you dizzy. We have had l00 per cetfoccasibnally and are sticking near the top now. Our reporter worked over time and this semester persuaded several more of us to subscribe. Parties in our room always are fun, for Bessie Piere tells the best stories, and you should hear Mike Matrango, Bill Getts, and Sam Ingrassia play the harmonica. All three of them are in the Harmonica Club. You probably remember that our officers for the first semester were Martha Cooling. presi' dentg Lillie Cicero, vicefpresident: Marion Renaldi, secretaryftreasurer: Louis jackson, Student Council representativeg Victoria Laskowski, reporter: and Sadie Montalto, girls' sanitary officer. The second semester we elected for president, Bessie Piereg vicefpresident, Sadie Montaltog secretaryftreasurer, Susie Falzone: Student Council member, Bill Gettsg reporter. Victoria Las' kowskig traffic officer, Vito Manallig girls' sanitary officer, Frances Manallig and boys' sanitary officer, Phil Maggio. If this year's activities are any indication of what the junior High holds in store for us, we have every reason to believe that the next two years will be even more profitable and inter- esting than this one has been.

' , Teclcly's Builders 7B Room 302 That first memorable day! We shall never forget it. Our names were called, and after a long walk up two flights and around many corners we found ourselves nicely settled in Room 302. Some of us were already acquainted. However, in spite of this advantage, the moment we left our home room we felt like small fish in this vast ocean of boys and girls. This feeling of hewilderment disappeared when we found out that there were no elevators just around the cor- ner, that the fourth floor so constantly referred to by our superiors must have been a mirage, and that the alligators had deserted the swimming pool. Having been duly initiated into the mysteries of Iunior High life, we elected the following officers, who have held their positions for five months: President .................,.....,,..........................,.......... ........ G len Ridnour Vice-President ....... ...........,.,..... I ane Ioslin Secretary ..........,.. .,r,...,......,,... B en Ollman Treasurer ..............,....,..,...............,......,................,...,..... Betty Ann Porter We also chose our name, which is Teddy's Builders. We hope that our motto, Make every minute count, will help us to build characters of which Roosevelt may be proud. So far we have found school life over here very interesting. We have learned to juggle inkfbottles, to eat our lunches very sanely, to use the shortest routes between rooms, and-last but not least-to appear in class with the correct material. By next year, when all eyes are fo' cused upon a new group of 7 B's, we shall not feel so timid about expressing our opinions.

The Four Square Club TB Room 216 We are introducing you to one of the largest classes of Roosevelt junior High School There are fortyffour of us. It took us about two weeks to get acquainted with such a big building. At first the traffic officers were regular nuisances to us: then we wished to be back in our former schoolsg but now we like this school very much. Soon after we came here, we held our first business meeting to elect officers, for we were anxious to do the things we had heard older pupils talk about. The following officers were elected: president, Donald Bischenauerg vicefpresident, Bob Seiseg secretary, Donald Gibsong treasurer, Doris Kingdon: Student Council member, Rosie Pan' taleog reporter, Amelia Butkusg and girl sanitary officer, Ellen Diamond. As soonl as an invitation was given to us to join the orchestra, Harry Daily, Donald Ma' gill, and Leona Jane Tucker immediately joined. At this time of writing we have increased our banking from seventy per cent to one hun' dred per cent. We hope to keep it there. Twenty-five of our group are supporting Teddyk News. We think the paper is very inf teresting. Bight of our members had perfect attendance records in 6A class. This semester we are try- ing to make a good record also. Since the Four Square Club of 216 which went to High School in February had a good reputation, we decided to keep the same name and try to live up to their motto, We strive for the best. u page fifty-six fist , --ff ffklfjffwif, af ,, ' ,J H JUJ ,MP Z 2 r r s . .ffl i V ,efj 'V I li ll Top Row: Joseph Appoloni, Rodney Stacy, Angelo Mzxggio, Paul McFadden, Harold jcwell, Donald Bennett, Wa5'nc Harris, Alwyn Keffcr.

The baseball season is now under way with the home rooms entered 100 per cent. This means closely contested games during the spring. Every girl thinks baseball the best of games. Swimming meets and exhibitions, track work, ball and jack tournaments, and hopscotch tournaments will bring to a close a very happy year. page fifryfeight. C' F s.

Teams rep' resented Roosevelt in football, basketball, ase all, track, soccer ball, and swimming. These teams played with our rival school, Abraham Lincoln Junior High, for the city championship. Our football team, this year defeated Lincoln in two out of three games, winning the first two games and the championship. In basketball the Lincoln men again had a fine team, losing only one game on their schedule. This gave them the championship, an honor they have won now for the second time in two years. Soccer ball was the best series we had in any sport, the two schools playing three -games without a score, for both Lincoln and Roosevelt had exceptionally strong teams. In.baseball we also had a three-game series, in which Roosevelt took the first game and Lincoln the second and third. 4 In the track meet we were not so strong, and Lincoln walked off with this event. They had a wellfbalanced team and will have some of their men back this year. We hope to give them a good fight to win. This year for the first time the two schools took part in a swimming championship meet, which Roosevelt won by a score of 38 to 8. Roosevelt defeated Lincoln on three other oc' casions in practice meets. The following boys took part in all the school activities, giving their time and work to help bring honor to Roosevelt: Malcolm Pierce james MacNamara George Zipse Norman Shoemaker Robert Knight page fifty-nine H 1.3 ufrfigw-1r11 I ll . . pu 2 'An our th Ofl .J I l.

Assembly Echoes Assemblies are held every Tuesday for the ninth grade classes and every Thursday for those of the eighth grade. Following are some of the high spots of the year 1928'29. The Mock Radio Program planned and sponsored by Room 221 pleased both Assembly groups. The broadcastf ing of the football game played by the faculty made a specially thrilling climax. Several pep Assembly programs were enjoyed during the football and basket' ball seasons. Some good cheer leaders were found, and Mr. VanBarriger put over the school song very cleverly. Among the delightful entertainments contributed by outside talent were the travel talk by Leslie Young Correthers, the piano program of Arthur Frazer, the sleight of hand performance of Dr. Skeels, the selections of the Wells Banjo Team, the song of the tiny song bird, Billy Carey, and the talk given by Dr. Gunderson of the Health Department. Dramatics had a prominent place in Assembly programs. The King's Great' Aunt Sits on the Floor, The Boy in the Meadow, .LWHShil1gf0HlS First Def feat, Three Pills in a Bottle, The Dyspeptic Ogre, and Why Study Art? are plays given during the year. Miss Blackburn planned the Easter Assembly, which was the most impresf sive of the year. The stage was arrangf ed to give the appearance of a church in- terior. A large stained'glass window- the work of Mrs. Dougherty-occupied the back wall. A choir of thirty boys and girls dressed in White surplices sang songs appropriate for Easter. page sixtywwo 'god ' . . l 1 ,K M, J,,,s I 1 ---ea cj' ' J -s ,M .J - V' -f ' fm Y 4. , 1 ,.

Its noted walls- shall resound to the events of the year 192829. Come ye all and hear! At the summons of the school crier, we hastened to meet in the auditorium to hear the following report of the work. Friends, every student entering this edifice upon the first day of school for the first time begins his career in the auditorium-and eventually ends it there. One could almost call it the melting potg for, as the great assembling place of the building, here the individuals become as one to form the spirit of Roosevelt Junior High. This is the scene of all social events, including the allffamous 9A party. Within its bound' aries Assemblies and programs are heldg while band, orchestra, and music classes also meet there. But these are not the only projects of this room. It is fundamentally concerned with the auditorium classes which meet here. These classes are composed of four or five groups of the same grade. From the group are chosen a chairman and sec' retary who conduct the meetings. Banking contests have been held during the year with Room 217 a continuous leader. Stunt programs, plays for both the classes and Assembly, and the singing of good popular songs compose a great deal of the routine. On all special occasions-such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine Day, etc.-appropriate programs are given. I am sure that you will all agree that the auditorium is a most important and necessary place. page sixty-three D J 1 K-.J A' ...I Q FW . 5.

Betsey Brennan According to its Constitution, Student Council is an organization. that aims, through service, to stimulate school spirit and to secure student co-operation in projects for the general betterment of the school. Each of the fortyfone boys and girls who are members has been elected as a representative by his home room because of his interest in the progress of the school, his willingness to help, and his ability to shoulder responsibility. A fitting motto, Facta non verba , was chosen by the club, and they try to live up to it. This year the members have served faithfully in prefschool duty by giving admits to those who wish to attend morning opportunity classes and by helping to care for the others who gather in the auditorium. At Assembly periods Student Council members have posts of duty. By selling orange and blue streamers to football and basketball enthusiasts, they aided in arousing school spirit. A code containing the desirable characteristics for a Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School student has been started and will be completed before this book is published. The organiiation has spent the greater part of the secondi semester on the year' book drive. They more than reached their quota-800 subscriptions--which was necessary for the publication of the yearbook. Mrs. Thomas, as their sponsor, made the meetings interesting and well worth their while. To her this year the Council owes its success as an organization. Sponsor-Mrs. Thomas. page sixty-seven fx I 4 l ' .

Its membership consists of about forty boys, one or more from each home room. Boys are assigned posts of duty for periods of two weeks each, at the end of which time they are replaced by others. Officers assigned to duty are designated by a button or ribbon. All cases of infringement of the rules of sanitation are reported to the club sponsor, Mr. Huxham. Officers of the club for the past semester have been: President .,.,,,.,.......,...,,...........,..................... Richard Keltner Vice-President ....................,............... Donald Cornelius SecretaryfTreasurer .,...,.......,,,.,...... Raymond Conley The Boy Sanitary Officers have always been prominent in athletics and particu' larly in club tournaments. The club basketball tournament was won by the Sanitary Officers. The boys have also had indoor baseball, play ground ball, soccer, football, and volley ball teams. One of the features of the club has been the collection of dues which are used for a party or picnic at the end of the semester. These parties are enjoyed by all. A noteworthy achievement of the club during the past Christmas season was the presentation to a needy family of a basket of provisions, the funds for which were provided through club dues. The Sanitary Officers have the use of the gymnasium and playground during club period, which privilege is greatly enjoyed. The members of this club who serve faithfully receive one hour's credit each semester for their contribution to the orderliness of the building.

In the spring the boys hike about theyschool' nei' bo d clearing the trees of the harmful tussock moth.. Some of the gnemb rs the club are not real Scouts, and the club does not attempt tomake them so. 4 e club is mainly to familiarize the boys with the work done in real'.f'Scout troops. Sometimes the sponsor directs the instruction of the meeting, and sometimes a First Class Scout does so. Every member of the organization is supposed to live up to the Scout oath and law. A great deal of stress is placed upon this point. Sponsor-Mr. VanBarriger. 1 ll ' O page seventyfour- ai QQ 'X if? ,, of NW ss.. . 9- W page seventy-five ,VP 6' '1' at UTM' f , I ' ,.-1 U I' M .

' page seventy-seven Boys' Hiking Clubs The Boys' Hiking Clubs of this school furnish an excellent opportunity for recreation and enjoyment to boys who are not Scouts and who do not get any other chance to hike. ' There are two boys' hiking clubs at Roosevelt, one for the eighth grade and one for the ninth. Mr. Cramer is sponsor of the ninth grade group, which contains fortyfeight members, and Mr. James has charge of the eighth grade club. The officers of the two clubs are as follows: E Eighth Grade Ninth Grade Dale Batchelor .,,... ,..... ....,.,.,.. P r esident .,,...,............ ,..,,.....

David Pekarsky Maurice Wedell ..........,.........................,.....,...,,...... SecretaryfTreasurer .......,........,.....,..,...,.....,.....,,,........,...,,., joseph Barelli The clubs meet every Friday in the regular club period. When the weather is favorable, they get out of doors and hikeg when it is not, they remain inside and play games, tell stories, and so on. The fall and the spring of the year are the seasons when the members really appreciate these clubs, for then they take long hikes and not only enjoy Mother Nature but learn a great many things about her. The boys think, too, that they are doing something that is good for their health when they take one of these hikes. The hikers entered the basketball league at the beginning of the basketball season and showed that they had some good material for the game. They expect to enter the baseball tournament if one is held. Sponsors-Mr. Cramer and Mr. james. Woodworking Club The Woodworking Club is, as its name signifies, a club using its Friday period as a time for further practice in woodworking. The purpose of the club is to teach willing and industrious boys to make use of their spare moments in a profitable and broadening manner. Any boy of the eighth or ninth grade is eligible to join the Woodworking Club. Last semester the boys made bookracks, which were very interesting problems and turned out to be a great success. During the early part of this semester the club's activities have centered on the building of kites and birdhouses. Later on, the boys joined the baseball league. As you might guess, Room 110 is quite an interesting place with all its machinery, including saws, planes, and so on. When the boys are at work, varying are the movements and noises. The long, continuous drone of the saw and plane, the rapfrap of the busy hammer, and the eager voices of the students all blend together. The officers serving during the past semester have been: Robert Shipley, presif dentg Robert Wilson, vicefpresidentg Frank Palombi, secretaryg and Howard Biggert, treasurer. . Sponsor--Mr. Balsley. page seventy-eight Girls' Hiking Clubs Beg pardon! Did you speak to me? Oh, you would like to know who the healthy looking girls are, and why we are so excited and enthusiastic, and where we are going? Well, these are members of our Girls' Hiking Club, composed of girls from the eighth and ninth grades of Roosevelt. Miss Claire Scone acts as sponsor for the eighth grade girls and Miss Reitsch for those of the ninth grade. Two very good reasons why this club is so popular. The purpose of the club is to get out in the fresh air for forty-five minutes and hike. This winter being extremely cold and disagreeable, we were forced to stay in quite a lot, so we played volley ball, batball, and other gimes which gave us plenty of exercise.

Each member of the club took part, and we endeavored to make this dinner as nearly like a Roman one as possible, even to reclining on couches and eating with our fingers. The menu included everything ab ovo ad -rnala ffrom eggs to applesj, and between courses the guests were entertained with special dances, speeches, and juggling acts Sponsor-Miss Blackburn. 1 Ei-5 'Ei d Z if 2-Q 5 2-EESYEQQFYS' 'X zzsseelvawmr. l f B . page seventyfnigc a ADfpO Lug 6'll L.:.su..f Folks, have you ever seen the future radio manufacturers at work? just step into Room 99 between 2:45 and 3:30 any Friday, and there you will see twentyffive ninth grade boys who surely are going to be in the front ranks of the radio world some day. They are active in building simple radio sets and making minor repairs in others. They investigate and report on late improvements in radios. The purpose of the Radio Club is to help the members to learn something of the mechanics of radio, to show them what radio means to the world, and to help them decide whether or not they wish to choose radio work as a future occupation. During the first semester the club had a membership of forty, which proved too large to make possible the building of any sets. Menibership was therefore limited in February, and now there are twentyffive ninth grade boysin it. Two outstanding events of the year were the talks given by Dr. Spickerman and Mr. Paulson. Dr. Spickerman has been a naval radio operator and a representative of the Food Administration in Russia. He showed the good and the bad points of the life of a radio operator. Mr. Paulson, of the Ellis Electric Company, told of his experiences with wireless during the past ten years and the great progress and im' provements that have been made. Both talks were very interesting. Sponsor-Mr. Wood. Stamp Club V A Philatelists' Convention Hello, everybody! The Stamp Club is now in session. We started this club one year ago. We trade stamps, buy and sell them, and learn about the stamps and the countries they come from. Help is given to the new collectors in classifying the stamps in their collections. We have thirtyfone members. The aim of the club this year was to make a collection of one thousand stamps to give to the school. With our dues, a book and some stamps have been bought. Other stamps have been donated by friends and members. Competitive games have been played to see what we have learned about stamps. Many stamps of special interest have been shown before the club. Among these was one on a letter that had been brought by Colonel Lindbergh from the Canal Zone to the United States-the flight that opened a new air mail route to the United States. The letter had been received by a Rockford man. Those who have joined the Stamp Club have found that it offers very enjoyable work. One never knows all about stamps because new issues are put out by some government almost every day. Since the United States began to issue air mail stamps, eleven sets have been printed. Some of these are very valuable as they were not in use long. 1 The Stamp Club now says goodfbye to you. We hope to tell you of greater success next year.

' Theodore Roosevelt junior High School Band The band membership includes sixty'four boys from all grades, some of whom have had a few individual lessons, but the majority of whom have never played a band instrument before. Our object is to learn the use of the instrument. The advantages of studying in a group are that we learn to do by doing, we are encouraging companionship with a common aim, and we derive pleasure while prac' ticing together. When learning to play, an instrument is more easily played in tune by having many for comparison. The members derive much satisfaction from the proceedings by knowing whether they are progressing according to standard. The band this year has done exceptionally well considering the number of begin' ners there have been each semester and the fact that so many have been in the organif zation for only one or two semesters. The music taught is not difficult, as most of the work consists of learning scales and practicing easy pieces. The older members are very helpful to the newcomers, frequently explaining the fundamentals to them. That they are trustworthy is shown by their being allowed to take their instruments home, a privilege that has never brought unsatisfactory results. The newcomers take advantage of this privilege by practicing outside of school. Everybody tries hard to forge ahead. Our boys meet two hours a week, and all wish that it might be more.

Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School Orchestra Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School has had an orchestra for five years. This year is the first year we have had our picture in the yearbook, and we are quite proud. We have played for Assembly a number of times and have taken part in the annual concerts. This year, at the eleventh annual concert given by the Rockford High School orchestra, the Lincoln and Roosevelt orchestras assisted. The concert was lovely, was heard on all sides. . We have law and order, too, when we practise. Certain people are assigned certain music racks to be carried to the orchestra room. Harold Naber and Bruce Holmes are supposed to keep the chairs in order. They do it, too! We also have librarians to take care of the music. Gene Alberstett, Phyllis Burdick, June Fink' beiner, and Hugh Wylie are assigned these jobs. Madeline Hehir keeps the attendance record. just a word about our concert master, Gene Alberstett. She was concert master in 9B and 9A and will soon leave us to go to Senior High School. - Now let's turn to Mr. Bornor-a jolly, goodfnatured boss. I am afraid if it wcrcn't for him, orchestra wouldnt be very lively., He is always cracking jokes. But, oh, yes we have to work, too. Most of our success is due to Mr. Bornor. If a part is a little difficult, he will come and help us with it. We work but have loads of fun, too. Director-Mr. Bornor. page eighty-five 'V 1 I .Maw- ,axa ' , ubvb - A:- ll-A Lf'-ff -.
