' 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

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. ' We have our parties, We have our fun, But we're always ready When thereis work to be done. page twenty-one he Q J Vx

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
