Ju-nigfs 1- 1- -x ar ik if sr ir af if f if The junior class of Roosevelt is still playing a major part in the activities of the school. We have a record this year of being the class with the most members out for athletics. The juniors are very athletic-minded as everyone knows and most of the high point men in track are juniorsg many are members of the varsity R club, and football and basketball are very, very well represented. These juniors are working very hard this year so that they may turn out a better graduating class than in other years. At last, the chance we have been waiting for is coming. We have taken all the guff from the seniors, and now it is our turn to give someg lower classmen, beware! The juniors are really striving to become the ideal senior class, and we think we're coming along very nicely, thank you. Of course, there is room for improvement, but we will have everything ironed out come next Commencement. There is nothing more irritating than a junior's last weeks as a junior. The juniors have shown themselves on many occasions to be above most of the classes in school activities. Although the sophomores were lucky in taking Old Man Academics, we still have the lead with the majority of honor students. Occasionally we slip, but not very often. Ingredients of a Junior are: One inverted nose for under classmen, one green eye for seniors, and a warm heart for the rest of the world. The one thing that all the juniors look forward to is the 43 breakfast. This is the breakfast that makes a man out of a junior, because a few days later he can wear a gold chevron on his sleeve to indicate that he is a new senior. Eighteen

A fresh- man is pretty low, and all he has to look forward to is being a sophomore. He counts the days until Commencement- until finally he has advanced to the point where he can give a few orders or at least pass the buck to the freshmen. This class of 23 sophomores now has the chance to rejoice over its advancement and the bright future ahead. They have reached the stage where they can tell somebody what to do. fEven if it is G cornpanyj. Of course, the going won't be easy for all of them from now on in, but they are well on their way. Already, there are cadets in the group who have won Varsity letters. This class is represented on the rifle team among the high ten, and even among the high five. There are also members of the crack squad, the color guard, and the annual staff in this group. The class, as a whole, is very active in the many activities of the school. They have edited the school paper on several occasions, and were the first to use and name our campfire twins-Castor and Pollux. Next year, they hope to be juniorsg this means that many of them will hold places of responsibility in the cadet corps. Others will be back to form athletic squads and the rifle team. Everything looks rosy, except sugar rationing. So now, the sopho- more class, as other classes is looking forward to its next year with a lot of eagerness and expectation.
