What 29 SPORTS GIRLS HE GIRLS of the Graduating class of February '38 have been I outstanding in sports all through the three years that they have been here. 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. GEORGE BROWN
