In a short time you will be making new friends and qaininq new achievements which will help you in your life's work. I hope that each and everyone of you will use your ability and experience to the best advantage in senior hiqh. I also want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you, the I-I9 class members and our counselor, Miss Balmer. TOM HARPER. President of H9 Class. 4 T. MALCOLM BROWN. Principal. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Yours has been a friendly class. There is no better advice I could give as a parting Word than urqe you to maintain that spirit of friendliness that seems to have pervaded the entire class of Ianuary, 1938. Knowledges and skills may be acquired most anytime you discover a need for them, but good-neiqhborliness is a characteristic that is more difficult to develop as the years pass. You have a generous share of this attribute. Nourish it and your life will be greatly enriched thereby. --T. MALCOLM BROW N. 5 ' YOUR NEXT CHAPTER S YOU begin a new chap- ter in your career why not call it A Task VVell Done. Why must you receive re- wards, honors or praise for work even though it is outstanding? Now that you are growing up, cultivate the habit of approach- ing problems With the puzzle- solving attitude. lf you solve a puzzle, you feel a thrill of satis- faction. Why not transfer that feeling of satisfaction to the ac- complishment of daily tasks and make the next chapter the most interesting of all? EMMA E. SPEARS Vice Principal GRADUATE MESSAGE OU HAVE chosen Blue and L Gold for your class col- ors- Blue representing wisdom and Gold representing the heights of attainment to be reached by the application of that wisdom. All events of world progress in medicine, literature, science, dra- ma-the construction of the huge Bay bridges in San Francisco- the flying of the China Clipper- reflect great wisdom and the use of that wisdom. You wearers of Blue and Gold carry on with high ideals, enioy your education, help others, in- crease your wisdorn and rise to greater heights. HENRY H. BATCHELDER Vice Principal HAIL AND FAREWELL In the three years you have been at Roosevelt, most of you have achieved a great deal. 'Nhere you have attained success, you have also developed a love of work and the will to do it. Keep these-they will help you in the years to come, as you leave childhood farther behind you and face adulthood and its responsibilities. These things you take with you: your mistakes you leave behind you. We have worked together and planned for your future. What you have started here will be finished elsewhere. My hope for you is that with a definite plan for the future, a love for work and a will to do it, your future may be a success- ful one. -LOUISE C. BALMER C GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE I wish to thank each person that so kindly helped me in my election. Every moment that I was your governor was one of joy. I have tried to fill the office as best I could. I hope I have been everything you expected when you voted for me. -IOI-IN WALL, Governor I LT. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE In writing these lines of farewell I express the feelings of my classmates. These are of sorrow and happiness. Sorrow, because we leave many good friends who have shared our pleasure and our tribulations. Happiness, because we take with us so many memories, and because we look forward to new experiences and more friends in high school. On behalf of the February graduation class of '38 I thank the faculty for their kindly help and the students for their com- panionship. May Roosevelt be as good to those who follow. -IOHN DORIA, Lt.

Qalmwj DRAMA CLUB Cbvloiuj LEGISLATURE 20 'rt-IE CLASS PROPHECY I llilh O YOU really believe, that this chemical, Volare-altus, which Richard Roxburg and Nathan Pearl have in- vented, will make your rocket ship go? inquires Co- ralie Alexander ot Bill Short, the inventor of the ship. Fellow- reporters, Bernice Gates, Tom Harper, Iean Giberson, and Dorothy Christopher jot down the answers to the questions of the inter- view as they are given. And whom do you intend to take with you on your expedition to Mars? is the next question. Well, l don't know yet. l would like about two hundred very intelligent people. Why not our old class-mates of Roosevelt? speaks up one reporter, Are they not a good intelligent group for the expedition? Of course! Of course! How could l forget about them? cries the inventor, Do you suppose Gloria Miller, the editor of your paper, could help to round up the group? A few months later the people are united and ready. The group is gathered on Camp Kearny Mesa, where they are to take off. From many parts of the world the group has been gathered. Ruth Foster, the famous explorer, with her company of Iohn Ronis, Bob Alverson, Bill Creer, and Nora Cox, who have been hunting large animals for various zoos throughout the world, were found in the jungles of South Africa. Roy l-lall, Philip Crosby, Harry Barnet, Betty and Mildred Arterburn, Anita Laird, Beatrice Lump-- kin and Shirley Gordon were located at the North Pole. Members of the class were found in all corners of the Earth. The door of the ship has been opened and the crew, Bill Inch, Frank Dentremont, Alexander Krooskos, Elmer Lash, and Maurice Nelson, are helping the passengers to their seats. lohn Bishop, the capilot, has just told the excited crowd to fasten their safety belts while Treva Glasson, the pilot, is starting the engine lust as the ship is about to take off a shout is heard outside and Bill Capps and Ben Townsend are seen frantically waving for the ship to wait for them. As the door is opened, they climb in and the rocket stoats off. lohn Doria, the millionaire sponsor of this expedition, is talli- ing to George Brown whom he has appointed captain of the ex- pedition until officers are elected on Mars. The ever studious Le- Roy Kindle has settled down with a pile of old classic literature, such as Lost Horizon and Gone with the Wind. The co-pilot has been having such an interesting chat with the pilot that he has failed to notice how near they are to Mars. Zl He shouts to the passengers to fasten their safety belts again, as they are going to land. The ship lands with quite a jolt. Bose Parades, who has been telling everyone that she wants to be the first one to set foot on Martian soil, makes a dash for the door. Without first looking, she jumps out, but finds to her surprize that instead of landing on Martian soil, she has landed in Martian water. Help! Help! I'm drowning! she shouts. loanne Overleese, the famous swimmer, in her excitement pulls off her light weight hat and dives through the window clad in a heavy overcoat which she forgets to remove. While she is rescuing the unfortunate, the others get out the door on the other side of the ship where there is dry land. Philip Flint and William Hom stand on either side of the door and count the passengers as they alight. The two counters confer with each other and agree that there is one passenger miss- ing. Fay Gaines, who has been standing near by and overhears the conversation, volunteers to go back in to the ship and search. After some time she succeeds in finding the missing one. This passenger is Iack MacDonald, who had fallen asleep while read- ing a Spanish book. He had slid under his seat so quietly he did not realize what had happened. Tents are erected by some of the former Boy Scouts. These are to be used as temporary dwellings. Laura lean Thompson starts to complain that it is growing cold. Ernest Beck, who has been waiing anxiously to assist her in any way possible, now rushes to the ship for the lgniagua, a chemical which when ex- posed to air immediately warms the atmosphere around to a comfortable degree. A moment later he pokes his head out of the door cmd shouts that the Igniaqua is gone. Or did we bring it? he calls. I guess we clidn't. replies Nancy Iulian. We'll have to build a fire. It has been such a long time since such an old fashioned method for heating as building a fire has been used that some time is spent in trying to remember how to build one. While Betty lane lune and Rose Strugo gather wood, lean De Riemer and Adrienne Wueste are trying to decide what you light the fire with, finally it is decided that a match is used and they argue about whether you strike it on a smooth or rough surface. At last a fire is started and while everyone is sitting around the camp fire a bright light illumines the early evening sky. Before anyone has time to wonder what it is, a small rocket ship lands beside the large expedition ship. From it come two people but 22 they cannot be distinguished because it is too dark. As they come closer they are recognized as Austa Mathison and Williard Virden. They are immediately surrounded by members of the ex- pedition. After the excitement auiets down the presence of the two is explained. They said that they had come to start a king- dom here of which they intended to be king and queen, but there were no Martians to govern. Upon seeing the fire they thought they had finally found some natives. Barbara Mayer suggests that they join the expedition, explaining that they are going to form a democratic government. They willingly consent and it is decided to elect officers. After the election the officers of the new' government are announced by Dick Brewer and lack Williams as follows: Betty lane Selwyn has been elected first woman president and her husband lohn Wall will be the First Gentleman of the Land. The vice president will be Violet Parchen, Secretary cf' Navy is Bob lones, Secretary of Labor is Bob Alverson, Winifred Coward will be Secretary of Agriculture. Secretary of State, limmyr Griffiths: Secretary of Treasury, Fred Neumeistery Secretary of Interior, Bert Bolam, and Kenneth Sedgwick, Post Master Gene'al. A Supreme Court will be made up of Evelyn Thorne, Irving Rawdin, lames Wood, Frances Barrows, Barbara Webb, Emmy Lou Cromer, Barbara Woolett, Walter Schneider, and Leon La Lanne. A city is to be built where the rocket ship landed, of which Olive Burnett will be Mayor. Paul Nystrom, Chief of Police: Tho-P mas Dyer, Fire Chief and Patsy Ryno, famous dancer, will be as- sistant Fire Chief. Mocrjorie Lyons has the honor of being the President's private secretary and Gertrude Mac Quoim of being Head Chef in the Presidents home, the Pink House. A large university is to be founded and many famous pro- fessors will teach there, including Harold Dillgprofessor of Latin: Gustave Sotelo, professor of English: William Kreft, professor of Spanish: and Carl Vincent, professor of Algebra. Marie lacks will be the Girls Coach and Fred Rapp the Boys Coach. Many well known people will continue to practice the profes- sions which made them famous on the Earth here on Mars. Some of them are Patricia Collins, famous doctor: Rita Freeland, artist and also famous violinist: Adele Kunkel, who has become a won- derful actress: May Lou Wincote and Billie Mae Collins, well' known journalists, also Frances Shepard violinist: Grace Yale, celloist and that not-to-be forgotten team, Irene Elliot and Bobs Bourdette, a second George Burns and Gracie Allen. The other members of the class and their futures on Mars, remain unknown, as we are tired of this foolishness. fzzboiwj ROUGH RIDER STAFF Cbelowj ANNUAL STAFF 24 CL SS WILL city of San Diego state of California CH9 s to our friends? do willingly declare this to be our last will and testament and wish to make known by this statement that we are acting un- der no direction or influence. We owe no debts, at least no one knows what debis we owe. We have put our all into our life at Roosevelt and that is why we haven't much to leave to our successors. We feel that we are going to Sr. High School Cwe hope? much more educated than when we first entered Roosevelt, but because of our overwought and nervous condition due to the strenuous overwork during Ir. High School, we are unable to make this known. We wish all the teachers to remember us, but as a special request Cora Lee Alexander leaves her fondest memories to Miss Colbert. To different lucky CPD people we leave the following: l. To anyone fortunate enough to have it Adrienne Wueste leaves that come hither Wink, which comes in mighty handy. 2. To another lucky person George Brown leaves his lisp. Excuse me then, it isn't a Lisp, anyway it makes those girls come a running. 3. Curly Top, commonly known as Bob Bourdett, leaves the obiect of his title to Earl McKellar. 4. Nancy Iulian leaves her so-called humor to most anyone Who'll take it. So in the words of the great writer Shakespeare, or was it Gloria Miller, we say Goodbye, Goodbye, parting is such Cl'm not so sure it's sweetl sorrow, but we shall meet again when you come to Sr. High.

SNAPSHOOTERS I HE ROOSEVELT students who have that so-called camera EI! craze are the ones who form this club. Their purpose is to advance amateur photography both generally and ar- tistically. They also want to have a good time. Proof of this fact is that they take trips ever so often to get good pictures. They're saving their best photos for a photography salon. Their sponsor is Miss Balmer and their officers are as follows: lack Foster-President Billy Williams-Treasurer George Brown-Secretary Gordon Leith-Business Manager, and Publicity Agent. THE BOYS GLEE PONSORED by Miss Driskill the Boys Glee meets in the morn- ing at 8:30 in Room 201.

Besides singing at most of the school important programs, some of which are: American Education Week, Teddy Bear Capers, and Christ- mas, they've sang for the lefferson P. T. A., and the Daughters of the American Revolution at the House of Hospitality. You will hear them next at the graduation exercise. THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB HE GIRLS Glee, sixty in number, have worked congenially and enjoyed many moments of pleasure together this fall. Two outstanding events in which the Glee Club has par- ticipated were: the annual Teddy Bear Capers, La Gloria de San Diego, and the Christmas Program in which the Girls Glee joined with the Boys Glee and presented a musical program of Christmas Carols, preceding the Christmas Play. The efficient officers of the Glee Club are: Laura lean Thomp- son, President, Marjorie Lyons, Secretary, Emily Lyons, Asst.

They do not have any definite meeting dates: however, they try to meet once a month. The meetings are usually to plan parties and good times. In order to receive Lausodalitas membership you must have R's in all of your solids and at least 3 R's in citizenship. The members are now planning their semi-annual party for sometime during the last week of school. THE PINE TREE Towering above its off-spring Stood a lonely pine Lifting its limbs toward heaven A sentinel of its time. Clinging to its rocky shelf, Its slender form is seen, Scarred by many a blustry wind, Its beauty still supreme. 'Tis the seamstress of the mountains For every hour of time. The desert winds thread thru and thru, The needles of the- pine.

Strange as it may seem our class has been runner up in almost every sport that we have played at Roosevelt. As L7's we were runners up in indoor. ln H7 we were equally outstanding since Treva Glasson, now Girls Athletic Represent- ative, won the championship of the school in tennis by default from Marion Bell. Playing volley-ball in drizzling rain doesn't sound like much fun, but as H8's we found, in a breathless game against the L9's, that dodging in and out of the Lath House between showers was a real sport. lt was the frst time we almost won a letter, coming within two points of the victory. We were represented in tennis again in the L9 by Marie lacks, who was runner up against Winnifred Webb in an all-day battle. We wish to dedicate our success to our most capable gym Mrs. Noyes, and Miss Shea, who have helped us and through all three years.

BROTHER LOVE Their speech flows out in steady stream 'Tis like a dull yet horrible dream In any month or hour or day You can always find them talking away. Unsquelched, unstopped, onward it flows, Raining the brain with unmerciless blows. As l lie trying to sleep yet kept awake, I know its their talking, not my steak. I am thinking and scheming of a way to get rid Of their merciless teaming and the talking they did I think of a way to end their say. Ah would I had but one torch To fire the roof and burn the porch, And watch them burn unto the grounds, That I might silence those two deccr Browns.
