HISTORY CLASS HEARS INAUGU-
RAJ BROADCAST
The senior history class, very much
interested in present events of the ma
tion, had the pleasure of listening to
President Roosevelt's Inaugural Ad-
dress. The class arrived in the music
room when Roosevelt was in the midst
Of his address. He made plain the
fact that his purpose for the coming
term was to carry out his present pro-
grom and to raise the standards of
living for every one.
The anouncers described the large
crowds, drenched by the rain, covered
partially by umbrellas, awaiting the
address. President Roosevelt refus-
ed to be covered to keep from get
ting wet and also refused to take the
oath of office in the Capitol building.
The seniors appreciated the effec-
tive arrangement of the microphones
so placed that all special features of
the Inauguration could be described
both in the city and at Seattle where
his daughter, Mrs. John Boettinger,
gave her parents ideas toward the ma
ton and its people. "The White
House," she said, sis open at any time
to everyone" She expressed the
democratic attitude her parents have
toward our people. Several times the
microphone was switched to differ
ent parts Of the city during the par
ade. Large crowds waited to cheer
the President as he passed by.
After his day of dedication to the
service of all the people of the United
States which began with the family
worship in the early morning church
service, the President reentered the
White House where he entertained
a group of his intimate friends during
the afternoon.
