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

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
