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

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

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
