ENGINEERS Mr. Nevius and Mr. Arnold, our Engineers, have done a fine job in keeping up the appearance of Roxana High. Due to their knowledge of gardening and landscaping, our fine building is now neatly surrounded by ornamental shrubbery and evergreens. ★ ★ SENIORS At last we have reached the goal of our school life—becoming Seniors and graduating. Questions enter our mind such as. Will the world be as cold and cruel as our parents and older acquaintances have warned us? Are we prepared to make a living for ourselves now instead of relying upon our weekly allowances and hand-outs from our parents? Will we be given a fair chance in the world in spite of the mixed-up way it is now? These questions will be answered in the very near future for better or for worse. Let’s do all we can to live up to our motto—“We face the future and march on. Class Officers — Norman West, President Leighton Lefler, Vice-President Annette Harney. Secretary Class Colors — Blue and White Eighteen

FOOTBALL Coach Corby, with four lettermen and nine other experienced players, was left the hard task of welding a team together. The team, while winning one game, tieing another, and losing five, built up a good reserve of players for next year. Roxana 6 Madison Opponents 19 0 Principia 7 12 ).
