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

' 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
