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

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

He was introduced by our capable and efficient president, Helen Purnell. Another important event was the Halloween party held at the home of Chellis French, which was very much enjoyed by those who attended. We had nineteen on the Honor Roll at one time the first semester. With a few exceptions we have had a banking record of 100 per cent each week. Every member of our room also sub- scribed to 'l'eddy's News. Lucy White, our reporter. had the honor of being on the staff of 'I'eddy's News both semes' ters, being athletic editor the first semester and associate editor the second. Our club officers were as follows: during the first semester-president, Helen Purnell: vice-president, Edward Webb: secretary and treasurer, Russell Bertg parliamentarian, Ralph boudersg during the second semester-president, Chellis Frenchg vice'president, Helen Purnell: secretary and treasurer, Russell Bertg parliamentarian, Geraldine Black. To those who have helped us in our journey through Theodore Roosevelt junior High School, we owe a debt we can never repay. We realize that for every benefit we have re- ceived we should give a service in return. We will always try to live up to our motto, HB2 C? iw X l f ' Q1 i o SLDTWQQ 1 gf lfgfl? page twcntyfseven
