PIQESIDEIXITS MESSAGE To All Seniors: The Senior Saga is our book, written and edited by our fellow students who have worked devotedly to make this Ianu- ary 1936 edition an outstanding one for us. The editors have selected material that will be pleasant to read and that will make our book a treasured possession, an almanac of our high school days. lt will bring back memories of the amiable four years spent in Theodore Roosevelt High School, which we may live over again as we turn its pages. During these years, we have practically lived together in a small democracy, intent upon preparing for our future tasks.

And now, at the end, who knows, there might emerge from among us a business executive, a great politician, an author or a poet? But regardless of what we may turn out to be, we have this to be thankful for, and that is our background provided by Theodore Roosevelt High School.

A single glance down a short length of the path, however, re- veals only too clearly, that it is fraught with numerous problems, with none of which we have ever before coped. The road, as we look at it, is cluttered on either side with failures who have not learned to utilize their resources to ad-
