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

VJe have had some wonderful times at our good old Roosevelt junior High, and we leave it with happy yet sad hearts.
