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.

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.

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.
