We of .20 I 9A Room 201 Vkfhirl whir! Out rolled the smoke from the exhaust pipe, and round went the propellers. Aeroplane 201 was in motion with Miss Blackburn as chief Overseer. Riding by aeroplane seemed so much more modern than riding by train that we decided to make that last part of our trip through Roosevelt Junior High at this speedier rate. Patrick Frewin was our first pilot, and well did he steer our lane through many a stormy business meeting. Helen Beach was assistant pilot, Doris Boyce kept the records of the trip, and Cynthia Druger never failed to collect our nickels and dimes. ln the middle of the trip we had to land to take one of the passengers, Arthur Sperber, to the hospital. By Christmas time we were rather tired of riding, and so we stopped to rest for a week. First we celebrated by having a party. We were treated to candy canes, sent to us by Aero' plane 308. They had challenged us to a banking contest, and we had proved to be the winners. When we started on the second part of our trip. we changed crews. Helen Beach be' came chief pilot, Glen Woodburn our assistant pilot, Howard Biggert our keeper of the rec' ords, and Doris Boyce took charge of our money matters. During this part of our journey we were forced to land and leave several members of the group. We were very sorry to go on without them, but Senior High Airport seemed to be getting closer and closer, and we dared not delay. We are looking forward to our yearbooks and our farewell party that will remind us- as nothing else can-that our threefyear journey through Roosevelt junior High is finished. We hope that we will all meet again in the airport named Senior High. page twenty-five ,M

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

Tri-Mu' s 9A Room 309 Harold Green: At this meeting we are to discuss our class history for the yearbook. Ruth Seidel, our secretary, has started one that she will read. Then you may make suggestions. Ruth Seidel: When we came to junior High School three years ago, we chose our name, which is T1ifMu's. It stands for Morals, manners, and methods. Each letter stands for certain characteristics we have tried to attain: T is for trusty. R is for responsible. I is for industrious. M is for methodical. U is for unselfish. S is for steady. Rose Collura: Mr. President, you might say that we raised our banking per cent this year, although we have never had 100 per cent. Fra-nk Houston: We had two students on the Roosevelt basketball team-Ralph Jewell and Pierino Marinelli. joe Cavallero: Mark Ferris is a member of the orchestra, and Angelo Cazzanigo and Tony Arduino are in the band. Palma Paluzzi: Junior Woodworth has done well as a member of the Student Council: Doris Moser has represented us for two years in the Reporters' Club: and Joe Getts has made a fine ser- geant in the Traffic Officers. Harold: Anything else? If not, will some one make the motion that we adjourn? page twcntyfsix
