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

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 are climbing slowly the ladder of 'fDoing our best is our sincere aim. fame: The first round of the ladder, we find, is Thrift, And by saving our pennies we have this. Each week to our room we wend our way And bank all the money that we have that d Our weekly paper, which is Teddya News, Is full of jokes and removes the blues. The reporters hound us from morn to night, So we take the paper to rid them from sight mounted ay. Room 318 We urge each member never to be late, For tardiness is a very bad traitg And as for attendance you may count on us there- The only thing that kept us was the flu in the air. We have among our numbers a few- Such as Gertrude, Frederic, and Oliver so true-- Who have climbed to a place of the highest rank, And made us proud of them, you can bank. We have talent galore, artists not a few, Musicians and singers and athletes, too. We are one for the other a loyal band, Working and striving hand in hand. Several parties have added their measure of fun, Sleigh-rides, wienie roasts-good times, every one. Our teacher has helped us in work and in play, So the yearsbeen successful and happy, we'll say. page twenty-eighth
