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

' 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

The 2l0 Buccaneers 9A Room 210 On September 6, 1928, wc sailed on the good ship, Roosevelt, for a ten months' cruise on the Sea of Study. About forty of us had booked passage and had been given passports in the form, of keys for our lodkers. Interesting books, program cards, and new acquaintances made the first weeks of our trip pass very pleasantly. U Under the guidance of our skilled pilot, Mr. Van Barriger, we had succeeded in getting a good start but presently huge waves of Outside Assignments and hidden reefs of Themes made the going extremely perilous. Lifefpreservers in the form of Study Hours and Opporf tunity Classes were thrown out to save us. Most of us grasped these aids eagerly, but, sad to say, a few of us refused the offered help and were drowned. Our boat stopped at various ports along the route, and some of the passengers made short excursions to the ports of Football, Basketball, and Track, while others visited the harbors of Band and Orchestra. Many plans were made by the ship's officers for our progress and entertainment. Every Tuesday a splendid Assembly program was given in the auditorium. On Wednesday we were encouraged to bring money to bank, and many of the passengers took advantage of this op' portunity. A fair number subscribed for Tedcly's News, the paper sponsored by the whole fleet, and our clubs furnished a pleasant way of ending each week. Many pleasant memories of our trip remain with us, and we are hoping that those who take the same cruise next year will enjoy it as much as wc. page twcnty'four a V B
