Try a different size panel. Cut the edge off of this one. Oh, this glue! Such you might hear any day you happened to pass the Bwana office. These urgings come from members of the staff trying to arrange picture panels for the yearbook. lt's quite a job. The first part of that job is obtaining snapshots of school life. Getting clear, acceptable, telling pictures is not easy. Then the snapshots must be sorted into various groups: track pictures, football pictures, baseball pictures, classroom pictures, and those candid camera shots of the Bobs, Jeans, and Jims. Once sorting has been completed, arranging begins. A group of snap- shots must be struggled with until they are properly placed on a panel of the size desired. Finally the pictures are trimmed to fit and pasted on cardboard. You think you have completed your masterpiece when up pops the corner of a picture. So you slap a little glue on, place some books over the panel, and go happily down the hall to your next class. Other duties the staff performs include writing essays, writing up the calendar, and reporting concerts, auds, and sport events. Publishing Bwana is a year-round job. No sooner has the last copy of one year's edition left Room 322 than the work on the next year's book begins. Each term four staff members, two boys and two girls, are nominated by the Bwana staff as candidates for editorship. One boy and one girl are then voted into office at the general school election. Ever since the first publication of Bwana in l925 its purpose has been to create greater interest in student activities as well as to preserve the annals. ln after years Bwana is a pleasant storehouse of memories of school events and faces. The name is a reminder of Theodore Roosevelt's African hunting trip and the title given him by the Swahili tribesmen, Makuba Bwanaf' which means Great Master . We hope the name is significant, not only because of its connection with Theodore Roosevelt for whom our school is named, but because our yearbook tries to be a master yearbook-chief or best of its kind. f-ia Sixty-eight Doris Ameiss Robert Barhorst Shirley Bastian Arthur Boettcher Betty Braden Peggy Braden Amelia Chuliclc Joanne Diez Bill Geisler Mary Ann Grebel Anna Hallacla BWAN A STAFF james Hawkins Norma Kraus Marvin Lanclgraf Joan Lanclow Lois Mahler Katherine Martin Ronald Meyer Marilyn Myer Richard Notvest Gretchen Pfeffer n it a - 5 , ti-ff KX :ms H Waleen Rinclerer Jean Rockwell Dorothy Schuette Betty jane Short Larry Sloop Robert Taylor Viola Wachter Kenneth Wagner Marjorie Williams Donald Wilson Betty Zeis Sixty- nine Gloria Munger, Bob Smylie -.6 'nqqx PN ff R0 G R ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL Moderator: Mr. Kammerer OFFICERS January to June, l946 STAFF Editors ....,..,,... ...,.. ..,,... 4...,,............,,.. ,I e a n Dreyer, Bob Wishon Copy Readers ..4.... ...,.

Mr. Neeb heads the athletic department and has a big job. Mr. Lake has come to Roosevelt this year to teach mechanical drawing and help Mr. Rost and Mr. Van Reen with the football teams. He is Roose- velt's gain and Southwesfs loss. Mr. Rost will again coach basketballg and Mr. Van Reen, track. Mr. Carlson will continue to coach baseballg Mr. Neuman will uphold Roosevelt's honor in swimming. Mr. Lorenzen in addi- tion to coaching tennis, has taken apparatus, a newly-recognized inter- scholastic s-port. We are deeply indebted to these coaches for teaching good, clean sports- manship, as well as for leading Roosevelt's teams to victory. DON VVILSON Y Y. it A , so X . Q One Hundred Two BASKETBALL . At the close of the I945-46 basketball season, the Roosevelt Rough Riders were tied with Cleveland for third place in the Public High League. Beaumont and Blewett took first and second place, respectively. Our five also entered the South Side Sub-Regional Tournament and walked off with first-place honors, defeating Bayless, Valley Park, and Central in order. The team showed a terrific scoring punch in these games. We placed second in the Red Division of the Normandy Consolation Tournament and third place in the Regionals at Washington University Field House. Out on the hill-' top,' we clipped a scrappy Brentwood Eagles' wings, lost to Beaumont, and won from a fighting Normandy team. ln our first league encounter, a contending Blewett team, eager for their first championship, defeated us 3l-28. ln a free-shooting contest in their second league game, Roosevelt humbled the Soldan quintet 62-32. The always-interesting contest with Beaumont was next, and we fell before the Bluejackets in a thrilling game 28-24. It seemed as if the Rough Riders. had finally ridden themselves of a losing score, as they finished league play with four straight triumphs. Our traditional rivals from McKinley were out-shot 4l-35, and we won the next game from Southwest 43-23. The following game with Central, expected to be a fairly easy win, proved to be a hard- earned victory, as we won by the slim margin of three points-23-20. ln our last game of the season, although it had little bearing on the league standings, we gained satisfaction in whipping our south-side foes from Cleve- land 30-23, for they had recently beaten us by two points in the Normandy Tournament. All the league games were played at St. Louis University Gymnasium. Our sub-varsity, the boys who will represent Roosevelt in the future as the first team, finished a successful season with five victories and two defeats. Roosevelt can look forward to a good season next year with such letter- men returning as Captain Marv Stendel, Milton Edwards, LeRoy Engert, Jim Gaebler, and John Schneider. With these sure-shots and promising B teamers as John Bradley, Gene Edwards, and Frank Zeilinski, Coach Rost is very hopeful of dethroning Beaumont and bringing a Public High Cham- pionship to Roosevelt the next season. Others who received letters last season are Wayne Fleddermann, Bob Frederking, Clyde Gradolf, Jerry Keller, Lefty Loncaric, and Fritz Ruck.

Three boys that showed great promise for the future for the diving event are Bob Murray, Chester Brown, and John I-Iegedus. The swimming season usually runs from early October until March. The boys that show the greatest ability in the dual meets are then placed in the State Championship Contest to represent Roosevelt. This event takes. place in early March and is the climax of the swimming season. Most of the boys stay in condition all year by entering outside swimming contests, being guards at various pools, or swimming during the summer just One Hundred Six for the recreation. But swimming is not just a sport: it is one of the best body-builders a person could wish. Every second that a person is pushing his body through the water, he is using the muscles in his arms and legs to their fullest extent. It also gives him body co-ordination, in addition to many other benefits. i The boys that earned their letters are: Bob I-Iaralson, John Carson- Co-Captains, Bob Lewis, Hoot Newman, Bob Risse, Mark Newport, jim Cohoon, Jim Skaggs, Carl Simpson, and Jim Fleming, Manager. RooseveIt's results in the State Meet Were: 50-yard free style-I-Iaralson, third. l00-yard breast stroke-Lewis, fourth. 200-yard free style--Risse, first. I00-yard back stroke-Newport, third.

One Hundred Seven One Hundred Eight SWIMMING TEAM, FALL, I946 x F av 1 A. is BASEBALL TEAM SEASON The Roosevelt Rough Riders enjoyed a fairly successful baseball season this year. After winning two out of three practice games, they started out to try to Win the Public High School League championship. Their chances, however, were lowered greatly by the loss of their two starting pitchers, Davis and Smith. But with an exceptionally good batting team, they won four in their first eight games, while losing three and tying one. ln the second round of games, the Riders won four and lost four, making the season record seven Won, six lost, and one tied. The Riders finished in fourth place. Coach Carlson made several changes during the season. Dale Menken, a returning letterman and catcher, suffered from a sore arm and was moved to the outfield, George Schoen did the catching. Marvin Stendel, formerly Roose- velt's third baseman, was moved to the outfield and then to pitch, where he turned in an excellent job. Walter Ulmer, previously a second baseman, was converted to pitcher and later to the outfield, and Lefty Loncaric, first baseman, who suffered from a fractured ankle, was replaced by Elmer Craw- ford, a freshman with a fine future ahead of him.

One Hundred Eleven One Hundred Twelve TRACK QUEEN, 1946 ELAINE STERLING TRACK ASSEMBLY At ten-thirty Wednesday morning, the bell rang to summon the red and white garbed Rooseveltians to the auditorium to witness the crowning of the Track Queen of I946. After all the pupils were seated, the blowing of trumpets was sounded by the trumpeters, and Mr. l-lahnel's band began to play the Coronation March. One by one the track maids came down the aisle, amid enthusiastic shouts of approval from the audience. Last came Roosevelt's track queen of l946, Elaine Sterling, a flowing scarlet robe over her dress and an exalted look of happiness upon her face. She was escorted to the throne by Mayor Walter Ulmer and crowned by the retiring Queen, Gladys Schaefer. As usual Mr. Kuntz, assistant track coach, and Coach Van Reen spoke to the assembly. Coach Van Reen then introduced each member of the track team, and the captains of the junior and senior divisions made short pep talks to the student body. Both coaches and captains brought out the fact that Roosevelt had a chance to regain the Public High School League track championship. , The auditorium session ended with the singing of the Alma Mater by the entire student body. VANITA HEFFERNAN One Hundred Thirteen TRACK SQUAD FIELD DAY Field Day was a hotly contested affair between Beaumont and Roose- veltg but when the dust raised by determined runners cleared away, Beau- mont was found to hold a slight edge, 94-lf3 to 87-l IXIZ. The outcome was not decided until the final events had been run, and just a difference of a few points in some of the events could have changed the standings of the two schools. Cur Juniors were first in their division, scoring 46M points, while our Seniors also showed up well, scoring 41M points to finish third. Charlie Fry was high point man for the Seniors, scoring ten points, while Wilson led the juniors with eight points. The boys are looking confidently forward to next season when they hope to shake off Beaumont's dominance of recent years and return the trophy to Roosevelt. The results were as follows: SENIOR DIVISION IZO-yard high hurdles--Ruzycki, fifth. l00-yard dash-Fry, fourth. 880-yard relay--Roosevelt, second fl-laumesser, Carbone, Boehm, Fryj.

X3 N' . 1 1' fig ' , f 5254 om Ng THE APPARATUS CLUB Apparatus work at Roosevelt High School has been carried on in various degrees for many years, but not until recently has it developed to the high plane upon which it now exists. This was due largely to the fact that the apparatus work is treated as a regular gym class, meeting twice a week during the A period. The class is divided into two parts, one for beginners and one for advanced students. At present there are approximately one hundred boys practicing the apparatus stunts to be used in the spring Apparatus Meet. During the past few weeks apparatus work has been recognized by the St. Louis Public High School League as a regular competitive sport, and we hope that official athletic R's will be awarded to the boys making the required points in the Spring Meet. Boys. of lower terms are especially urged to take part, as this is an activity that requires a long time to reach perfection. V One Hundred Twenly APPARATUS TEAM One Hundred Twenty FOOTBALL The Roosevelt Rough Riders finished a close second to the leading McKinley eleven in the Public High School League at the conclusion of the I946 football season. Scored on only once in league play, Roosevelt was a victim of two tie-games in the championship fight. Our team, which showed its true power and speed in most games, was composed of Stendel and J. Schneider, ends: Beck and Rottler, tacklesg Captain Hixson and Schweiss, guardsg and Patrick, center, in backfield: Miller, quarterback: Parker, left halfg Fisher, right half: and Hacker, fullback. PRE.-LEAGUE. GAMES The season opened with a smashing 25-0 victory over McBride. Scoring in the first three quarters on runs by Newsom, Parker, Hacker, and Zielinski, and holding McBride to one first down in those periods, the Riders showed both speed and power. Roosevelt fared badly at the hands of their fast East St. Louis High adversaries, coming out on the short end of a 25-l 3 score. Parker went over for the first tally early in the first quarter, then the Riders went scoreless for thee periods while East Side piled up four scores and an extra point. In the final quarter, Hacker climaxed a Roosevelt drive with a touchdown and extra point. One Hundred Twenty-two 1 we One Hundred Twenty-three The Riders in their last pre-league game smashed and scattered the St. Louis U. High Junior Billikens 25-7. ROOSEVELT DOWNS SOUTTHWEST The first league game played by last year's Public School and District Champions was against the Southwest Longhorns, with a score of 25-0. ln this sparkling league debut, the Rough Riders' fast-moving ground work and aerial offense by Long John Schneider were too much for the South- west gridders. Time and again Schneider snagged passes from our able backfield, leaving the Southwesters in a state of confusion. Touchdowns: Parker, Schneider 2, Miller. Extra Points: Stendel. ROOSEVELT TIES BEAUMONT In this second game of league play, the Riders were fought to a stand- still for a scoreless tie by Beaumont's Bluejackets. The teams were evenly matched and both gave an exhibition of brilliant defensive ball. The lines of both teams were impregnable and the backfielcls' plays were Hawless. Roosevelt received the kickoff and marched down to Beaumont's I0-yard line. At this point, Beaumontis line stiffened, and after driving the Riders to midfield, they settled clown to a defensive game until the third quarter. Beaumont came to life and fought the Riders back deep in their own terri- tory, only to be halted by a fumble that was recognized by Beck. Parker kicked out but the Bluejackets came back again. This smashing, fighting drive was stopped by a pass interception by Sennewald who ran it out to the thirty-five. The game ended with Beaumont in possession in midfield. ROOSEVELT DEFEATS CLEVELAND Roosevelt snared its second league victory by downing the Cleveland eleven 7-0. Playing in a muddy field, the teams battled evenly for the first half. The Riders threatened several times, but did not score until the third quarter when Parker heaved a long pass to Stendel and the goal line. Stendel then dropped back and plunged over for the point. Cleveland threatened mildly in the fourth quarter, but was held by penalties and intercepted passes. Touchdowns: Stendel. Extra Point: Stendel. ROOSEVELT CRUSI-IES SOLDAN A strong Roosevelt team defeated the Soldan Tigers 27-0, on Armistice Day, and so remained in the championship race. ln the second period our offense started to click. S-carato scored first on a yard run and Stendel plunged the point. Schneider went over the chalk stripe for our second tally, and Scarato backed through the line for the point. Schneider scored again on a 20-yard pass from Bieger, and Stendel dropped into the backfield to carry the ball over for the point. ln the second half, Bieger took the kickoff and raced 85 yards for a touchdown. This ended the scoring. Touchdown: Scarato, Schneider 2, Bieger. Extra Points: Stendel 2, Scarato. One Hundred Twenty-four One Hundred Twenty-five ROOSEVELT SMASHES CENTRAL Roosevelt, now in second place because of the tie with Beaumont, trounced the gridders of Central 47-0, thereby setting the stage for the Public High School League championship game against McKinley. Roosevelt, scoring in every quarter, was led by fiery-headed Hacker who was high point man for the day, making two touchdowns and two extra points. Roosevelt received the kickoff and drove down the field to Central's goal line: Stendel went over for the first mark. Hacker then went over for the extra point. Not too long afterward Parker' went sixty-two yards for another six points and the longest run of the day. Hacker again plunged over for the point. ln the second quarter Newsom ran forty-five yards to touch-down territory, and Scarato fought his way over for another extra point. ln the third quarter Hacker came to the front with two touchdowns. After Hacker's first score, Stendel booted the point and Bieger drove over for another after the second by' Herb. With only two minutes left, Scarato went into action by intercepting a pass on Central's 20-yard marker and driving through a broken Central defensive for still another six points. Rudy Bukich plunged -over for the point and the game ended. ROOSEVELT TIES McKINLEY ln the final game of league competition upon which the Public High School Championship rested, lVl'cKinley's Goldbugs and the Rough Riders battled to a 6-6 tie in a thrill-jammed, hard-fought game which completely destroyed the Riders' chances for the championship. Playing before a crowd of ten thousand, the Riders and Goldbugs displayed their respective abilities in vicious blocking and tackling and brick-wall line work. Roosevelt was forced to punt on receiving the kickoff. McKinley gained possession of the ball in midfield and there it stayed. Both teams fought doggedly, but were unable to gain ground until late in the second quarter when Roosevelt drove 7I yards to the Cuoldbugs' 2-yard line, where they were held until the half- time. Then, in the third period McKinley drove to the Riders' one-yard marker, where they lost the ball on downs. Parker then punted out to the 45, but a determined McKinley eleven marched right back to score. Their pass for the point was incomplete. The Riders drove deep into the Croldbugs' territory several times and finally made good in the last three minutes of play on a pass from Parker to Newsom. Stendel dropped back to try for the conversion. The referee's ruling was that the ball was stopped inches short of the point. As the final gun was sounded, Roosevelt was trying to gain possession of the ball in midfield. Although Roosevelt Rough Riders did not Hnish in first place, they were never defeatedg they had only six points scored against them through all the league season. The brilliance of our team was proved when three of our men were chosen for first-string men for the various prep leaguesg six men were chosen for either second string or honorable mention. Those chosen for the Hrst strings were Hixson, Stendel, and Schneider. Those voted second-string men or given honorable mention were Noble, Beck, Hacker, Parker, Fisher, and Sennewald. jEAN ROCKWELL One Hundred Twenty-six JIMMY HAWKINS APOLOGIES TO CLEMENT MOORE 'Twas the night before the big game, and in each player's ho Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The plans had been laid and the stage was all set, For the grandest game ever, the best game yet. The football eleven were all snug in their beds, While visions of touchdowns danced through their All loyal Rooseveltians and M cKinleyites, too, Were ready to help their team come on through. And then the day dawned, such a beautiful day, That even the coach felt no tinge of dismay. Soon three o'clock inevitably and quickly drew nigh And' swarming fans made many a bus driver sigh, But he'd drive swiftly on 'mid loud contident cheersg And even when we left, they still rang in his ears. On entering the stadium we saw quite a sight, For people were everywhere, to the left and the right. The McKinleyites were confident, lively and sure, And the Rough Riders, also, had hope premature. And then from the dugout the Riders they came And the announcer 'mid cheering he called them by name, First Stendel! then Parker! then Schneider and Hixson! And Miller! and Fischer! and Hacker! and Kitchen! From star center to water boy running they came To keep high our school banners by winning the game. As the Goldbugs approached, not one man did shudder, For we knew our course and would follow no otherg heads. USE' So with a loud S-S-S-S-S-S-Booming! the game was begun, And each rooter was tense, wondering what was to come, 'Twas our championship game, on it all hope was set And with every gain the crowd did noisier get. As each team attempted to score only seven, They were quickly repulsed by the other eleven. No score had been made when the half rolled around, And the players departed while the bands marched round. Then they played Alma Mater, and everyone stood While the majorettes pranced, for they knew they were good. When one band had inished, the other began While the cheer-leaders together back and forth ran. When play was resumed all tenser became Hoping and praying that we'd win the game. Then all of a sudden, as quick as a flash! A pass was encircled and then one mad dash Toward the long-hoped-for goal the Goldbug h 'Mid screaming and shouting. This ne'er, ne'er would do! For it was terrible, terrible, terrible, but true. e flew, One Hundred Twenty-seven They had just made six points and the extra point failed And this by Rooseueltians was gratefully hailed. Then the Riders sprang to it, four minutes remained, And fought till they also a touchdown had gained. Make that point! said our cheerers, McKinley said, UNO! And we tried, but in vain to make it just so. Some say we were over, and others say not: But we tied standing up, and 'twill ne'er be forgot. We remain undefeated, but championship lost. So hats off to our team, and our splendid Coach Rost. KATHERINE MARTIN l Q A GIRLS' GYMNASIUM The activities in which the girls take part in their gymnasium classes during their four years at high school are many and varied. During the first term these activities include the principles of kickball and participation in this sport: during the second and fourth terms the fast-moving game of soccer, which develops coordination, alertness, and the spirit of team work and fair sportsmanshipg during the third term, an altogether different form of physical education, swimming. Beginners are taught the fundamentals of swimming, while those who have previously acquired the fundamentals are given advanced instruction in swimming and diving. The fifth term finds the girls back in the gymnasium, this time partici- pating in the lively game of speedball, which continues into the sixth term. Hockey is the principal sport engaged in the seventh and eighth terms. Besides participating in regular sports activities, the girls take various physical tests which include climbing poles, stall-bar hanging, the burpee, the fifty-yarcl dash, rhythm work, and posture tests. Athletic activities are not limited to school hours- only. On Tuesdays, Miss l-laeseler teaches social dancing to Freshmen boys and girls who are interested. On Wednesdays, Miss Fager instructs girls of all terms who wish to learn to play a better game of basketball. On Thursday, Miss Voit con- ducts a class for those who are interested in volley ball. Also, on Thursdays, Miss Reilly has charge of the swimming club. All girls who are able to pass the Red Cross tests are eligible to join. One Hundred Twenty-eight CHEERLEADERS The duties of the cheerleaders are many. During the seasons of the various sports--football, basketball, and track-the cheerleaders are present to aid the people in the stands to encourage Roosevelt teams. They also lead cheers in Pep auds and on other special occasions. Around school they sell tickets for the non-league games and passes for the league contests. The girl cheerleaders are elected by members of Pep R3 the boys are selected by Mr. Neeb. Each year they meet and elect a captain, whose duties are to name the cheers to be given to direct the audience. At graduation they are awarded a cheerleader's R. A, All agree that they are an indispensable part in our athletic meets. One H andrea' Twenty-nine THE SWING BAND Every Monday after school music can be heard coming from the audi- torium, music that ranges from sweet and slow to jazz. lt's music that you can enjoy listening to as much as you can enjoy dancing, but don't swoon, it's not Stan Kenton, it's just the Roosevelt Music Masters going through a rehearsal. In all seriousness, though, under the able sponsorship of Mr. Lorenzen, the swing band has progressed rapidly since it was organized at the beginning of the term. Last January so many difficulties arose that the project for a swing- band had to be dropped. But this fall enough aspirants appeared for the tryouts to form a large band. its most energetic player is its leader, Paul Rey, who throws his weight around like Longson in a championship match. Paul, like previous leaders of the swing band, is highly talented and has had much experience with other bands. Besides taking part in various- auditorium sessions, the swing band also plays for after-school dances. One of these dances this fall was the Musicians' Swing , given by the Senior Orchestra. The dance was a success. This term's band contains five saxaphones, six trumpets, two trombones, a bass viol, an accordion, drums, and a piano. The members of the swing band are: Paul Rey, leader, saxophone. Billy Williams, Hrst alto saxophone. Marvin Landgraf, second tenor saxophone. Ken Massit, third alto saxophone. Bob Schroeder, fourth tenor saxophone. Robert Loesch, fifth alto saxophone. Glen Burgdorf, first trumpet. Johnny Mueller, first trumpet .jack Faerber, second trumpet Richard Gross, second trumpet Norman I-Iarbison, third trumpet ,Lowell Sutton, third trumpet Gene Brown, trombone Bill Stalkebier, trombone. Mary Lou Miers, bass viol Lou Vigano, accordion. Ed Freund, drums. Joyce Seffen, piano. A good band must have team-work. Its soloists and section leaders should be good musicians, and the band should be known for its harmony, quality of tone, and perfect timing. Of course, the swing band has not mastered many of these qualities, but the members are doing' their best to make you proud of your Music Masters.

Have an enjoyable evening for only twenty-five cents. April 25-Special notice to all Bwana Staff members! Don't forget that those super-colossal and dynamic 500-word essays are due Monday. The Sixes held a meeting in Room 202, and the Sevens had theirs. in Room 203. Simple, isn't it? We still haven't figured out why so many Sevens Went to the Sixes' meeting. The Roosevelt nine suffered its worst defeat of the season at the hands of Beaumont. We were on the tail end of a I5 to l score. The only Rough Rider hit came in the ninth inning with two out.

Let us just think for a moment of the changes which we shall experience as a result of graduation. It means that we must leave all of our friends and buddies whom it has taken us four long years to acquire. The hour has come for us to meet the challenge which the world offers us. Now, We shall finally realize that school wasnit so difficult, after all. ln other Words, it means that we must leave the so faithfully in life. The day miss that crims the urge to go teachers, books, classes, and the school itself, which aided us acquiring the knowledge which will carry us on through later has arrived and we must say farewell. Yes, we shall really on and white, but we can't remain forever, because we feel on and become the citizens and history makers of this great nation. With our parting, though, we would like to wish as much happiness and success as possible to those who remain behind. EDWARD DICKMAN One Hundred Forty-four i , One Hundred Forty-five BWANA DISPLAY CASE This year Bwana had a special treat for its subscribers in the form of a display in the case on the first floor corridor. The purpose of this display was to give the students of Roosevelt somewhat of an idea of the Work involved in publishing Bwana each year. The display itself depicted last year's Bwana in various stages of development. Beginning with the bottom most shelf, the slow evolution of Bwana, from the paper-bound volumes of the twenties to the beautifully bound editions of today, made itself apparent. The next shelf explained the use and preparation of the designs that appeared at the bottom of articles, some- times referred to as tail pieces. On the left were the original drawings, followed by the prints from the zincs, and finally on the right, the finished page from the Bwana. Upon raising the eyes slightly, one saw the progress of an article on its way to being published in Bufana. From the original manuscript, through its many trips to the printer and back, and eventually to its resting-place on a page of Bwcma, no part of its sojourn was omitted. No exhibit of this ,type would be complete without showing the progress of printing pictures in Bwarza which appeared on the top shelf. Of especial interest were the electroplates of the pictures used in the actual printing' process. About the most interesting single exhibit was the portion devoted to the color printing process along the back of the case. The example used was the original drawing of the flag of the United States by Harry Jacobs. Four engraving plates were used to reproduce this picture, one for each of the three colors and one for background. In the right hand corner was the finished product, the I946 Bwana.

First came the four candidates for Mayorg then, the candidates for editorship of Rough Rider and Bwanag and last, the candidates for chairmen of the six standing committees.

The first candidate, Carl Blatt, was asked to give his opinion on the question whether the repu- tation of the school has anything to do with the individual. The second candidate, Joe Evans, was asked about class organization, and the third candidate, Bob Hixson, about the relationship of sports to the reputation of the school.

The setting on our stage was one we shall long remember. A beautiful flower display was in the center: behind it, between parted curtains, was the flag. Potted plants were set in a row behind the footlights-. ln the center was a large plaque bearing the names of the former Roosevelt boys who had given their lives. The Carol Club, dressed all in white, was on one side of the stageg the Boys' Glee Club, in red robes, was on the other side. The silent assembly was first addressed by lVlr. lnbody, who announced the songs- to be sung under the direction of Miss l-lilb. The student body joined reverently in the singing of Faith of Our Fathers. This hymn was followed by A Silent Prayer. Mr. lnbody gave a very touching address in which he recalled the names of several young men on our list of honored dead who had been in his classes and also had been friends of his. Our mayor, Walter Ulmer, spoke a few minutes on the main subject of honoring the boys who gave their all for us. Mr. Hill reminded us as patriotic young citizens to strive to keep the peace and to honor the many former Roose- veltians who had made the supreme sacrifice. The Carol Club sang solemnly, and then the Glee Club hummed the melody while the girls dropped a rose for each Roosevelt boy who had been killed in the war. Mr. lnbody introduced the Reverend Father Gottwald, the substitute for Reverend Father Carroll, who was unable to attend. The speaker Went further than telling us merely to honor the dead--he gave us the formula for keeping the peace these heroes had Won for us, and urged us to learn all about the government and the world's problems. The formula was to keep freedom by following God's Ten Commandments. Rob- ert Schomaker sang The LOrd'S Prayer. Our memorial service came to a close with the playing of Taps , One Hundred Fifty-one SENIOR ASSEMBLY-JUNE, 1 946 F OREWORD : The Senior Class presents this program to the school with best wishes for the future success of all Roosevelt stuclentsg with cleep appreciation to the faculty for their untiring efforts in our behalf, with sincere loyalty to our Alma Mater.

I One Hundred Fifty-two One Hundred Fifty-three THE VALUE OF PARKS Did you ever hear anyone say, l..et's go to the park: it's so stuffy in this apartmentn? Maybe it's another story like this, Mother, l want to go to the parkg it's no fun playing on the kitchen floor. There's no room for my toys. I think the parks have more value than we surmise. People who live in apartments, hotels, or crowded and congested areas appreciate and use the parks much more than those who have gardens and yards to enjoy. There are so many beautiful things to see in a park, even if the park is only a city block square. The arrangement of the shrubs, the trees, and the walks is what makes a park. But it's only green trees, and shrubs with little white or red berries or flowers on them. What's so beautiful about that? Well, my friend, if you've ever taken a walk through a park in the early spring, when the trees are budding and the shrubs have tiny leaves on them, you will find it beautiful. lt's nature waking upg it's the beginning of a great and beautiful show. Follow its progress: buds- on the trees start to open, the leaves look just a trifle larger on that bush over there. Things smell almost sweet, because it rained last night or maybe this morning. in summer the parks will be in full bloom, and children will play on the grass and have a lot of fun. Families will spend a Sunday afternoon in the park, father will smoke his pipe and lie on his back in the shade of a tree, and mother will read to the children or maybe crochet. Other people will relax by playing golf or tennis. For some people Sunday in the park is the only relaxation they get all Week. The parks are very valuable in this way because when a person relaxes, he forgets his work and his worries and can enjoy himself for awhile. Then comes autumn and the leaves on the trees turn into a maze of colors and fill the parks with greater beauty. A science teacher may take her class for a walk in the park and the members will collect leaves and learn a little bit more about trees and shrubs. The beauty of Nature in autumn in the parks never lasts long enough for me. When winter comes and the snow blankets the trees and ground in the parks, I think there is nothing quite so beautiful as the snow scenes. I think I could go on forever about the value of parks, but to me the value is that the parks give beauty to the world and are a sort of soothing medicine to the weary and troubled mind. EVELYN BARTINIKAS O it V , -. 7, in One Hundred Fifty-four I'LL DO IT LATER It's a fine autumn day, and the sun shines through my bedroom window. Casually I walk to my closet to get out my old but faithful blue jeans: slowly I turn the knob of the door, and then-Crash! Bang! Ouch! Many months of accumulated magazines of various sizes and shapes dash down on my unsuspecting head. As I sprawl undignifiedly on the Hoor, I glance at the debris around me. Oh! just look at this mess, Joan, my conscience demands, you simply must clean your closet. uwhy should I? I rep-ly. UIt's not really messyg it can wait another few days. I began to pick up the magazines and shove them into the already bulging closet. Ah! Ah! Ah! my better half prods, you know better than that. Come on now, sort out those magazines. 'iwell-I suppose I should. But you just wait, next time I won't listen to you, I tell my conscience belligerently. Taking one last mournful look at the outdoors, I set up a table by the closet, bring a was-te paper basket nearby, turn my radio on to the early morning platter parade, and draw up a comfortable chair. I-Im-m-m. Seuenteens in this pile, Junior Bazaar in this, and Deb in this. What's this pack of papers-drawings? Why, yes, it is! I-Iere's a picture of my former history teacher drawn during a boring lecture on 'The Trials and Tribulations of Columbusf Underneath's a sketch of a dress I wanted. I'd better throw it away, it's dreadfully out of style now anyway. I'll throw the rest of the drawings away, too. I-Iere's another old issue of Seventeen. Thumbing casually through it, I come to an article I have never read. I'll put it in this pile to read later. The floor being clean at last, I turn to the shelf of my closet. It looks like a hopeless job. Joan, you're a very untidy person. Closing my eyes, I reach on the shelf and pull out one glove. Maybe there's another one in here somewhere. I'll put it aside, I say to myself. Next is a soft ball of soiled White yarng but where is the end? I wind and I wind and I wind until I come upon a tangled piece of knitting. I think it must have been the beginnings of a pair of mittens. I'll lay it aside to finish in my spare time. Reaching into the far corner of the closet, I come upon a pile of books- two old yearbooks and a scrap book. The covers of Bwana are covered with signatures, and the scrap book is full of letters, cards, and clippings. Scanning' them briefly, I think, Better put them aside for later inspection. Whatis this little book on the side of the closet? My diary!!! Why, I stopped writing in this long ago. I had better put this also with the things l'm going to read later. I-Iere's a spool of thread, a box of chalk. l'll toss them outg they're no good. And here's my pen I've been looking for for weeks! Soon my closet is neat and clean and the waste basket is full to the brim. But what's this? The table's full of things! I canit throw them out, but I One Hundred Fifty-Hue can't put them back into the closet either. Besides, l want to look at the books and finish the knitting. l see, l'll put them on the Hoor of the closet out of sight. At least they can't fall on me there, I think, rubbing the sore spot on my head. ' You know, Joan, l say to myself as l dash out of the house, Hcleaning a closet isn't so bad. It's a fascinating occupation! JOAN LANDOW an A FRESHMAN'S FIRST DAY AT ROOSEVELT As the freshman stepped through the portals of his future Alma Mater, he was filled with a feeling of intense wonderment and awe. As he slowly walked down the long and impressive halls, he was amazed at the size of everything surrounding him. He gazed at the many doors which open into the rooms of learning and understanding. 'His eyes wandered to watch the bustling, active crowd of students around him, some chatting gaily and others listening attentively. I-le looked enviously at the rows of the many leaders in scholars-hip and athletics whose pictures adorn the walls and wondered, if perhaps in some future time, his picture might be among the others, smiling clown on all onlookers. He stopped before the auditorium and seemed to see himself standing on the stage in cap and gown, four years hence. l-le stood looking at the twin staircases, wondering which side to use to go upstairsg and when he saw others going one way, he followed. He made a thorough inspection of the remaining floors and was convinced that he would enjoy being here for the next four years. When the bell rang for the first period, our freshman joined the onrushing crowds in the halls: and after asking several upper-termers, he found the room and his day began. The morning passed quickly. When the lunch- bell rang, he was lost in a mad rush of pushing students, all rushing and shoving forward. Finally he located a vacant stool in a faraway corner and tried to see where all the long lines were bound: He shrugged his shoulders and stepped into a long line. After wearily waiting for three-fourths of his lunch period, he hurriedly gulped his food and was ready for the remainder of the day. The afternoon was spent in study halls and gym. When the three o'clock bell rang, he ran from his class-room, bound for home. On his way he thoughtfully reviewed the day's. activities and wondered if he would ever win a place in that wild confused world. He hoped that the next day would be better and that he would become an upperatermer soon. DCROTHY SCHUETTE One Hundred Fifty-six SUSPEN SE Everyone in the classroom is paying strict attention to the teacher: that is, until the door opens, and a girl Walks across the room. I-landing the long strip of paper from the office to the teacher, she departs from the room, never dreaming of the misgivings she causes in the mind of every person occupying a desk in that room. With the question, mls it for me? silently drifting around the room, the teacher reads the slip and calls-no, it canit be, but, yes-it's your name. Stiffly walking up to the front of the room, you read the ominous paper, desperately trying to think what on earth it was you did that would warrant this invitation to the ofiice. As you take your seat again-you are toreport at the end of the period-you see your classmates eyeing you with that 5'Thought-you-could-get-away-with-it-huh?H look. Paying no attention to the classwork, you miserably turn over in your mind your activities, day by day. Did the lunchroom supervisor really remember your name from four terms ago, and see you sneaking in the hot-plate line a week ago last Tuesday, or did your advisor compare your last two excuses for absence? Well, you could really explain that-you see, it was like this: you had to--. just then the bell rings, and, by this time, having gone back several months, you can really see no cause whatsoever for this unexpected call. Sitting on the office bench you await your turn, you wait eighteen minutes and twenty-five seconds, every minute seeming like an hour.. Finally you walk up to the desk, trembling as if your bones had suddenly left you, and when questioned, iiwhere were you the second period yesterday? you heave a huge sigh of relief, and readily tell the person behind the desk that you were on the program in the first period aud session, and as you had to put your paraphernalia away, you were unable to get to the second period in time to be marked present. IOANNE DIEZ 'EF y x ,1 ggi, FIVE-MINUTE RUSH The corridors of Roosevelt High School between classes are busy thorough- fares filled with students walking in various- directions at the same time. ln this crowd are also those small, less fortunate pupils, who, Without their consent, are shoved along by the mob whether their next period class is in that direction in which they are pushed or not. ln the middle of this mad jumble may be seen a bevy of girls laughing at a pledge who is going through the ordeals of pledgehood. Looking down the steps, we spy a studious little New Jay pushing his way up- the wrong side of the steps, carrying a load of books which he hopes will make him look bright and which almost equals his own weight. One Hundred Fifty-seven Girls come from the swimming pool, wringing water out of their soaked hair and trying to pin it away from their faces in some fashion. Some are seen at their lockers combing their frizzled hair which, after gym, looks like that of a Congo native. Time is fleeting and all good little boys and girls are in their class rooms, brushing up on that clay's assignment. But, is everybody good? A loitering student comes tearing down the hall trying to make it to his next period class before the breathtaking ring of the bell. I-le leaps up the stairs, yanks open the door, a foot inside-and the bell rings. Luck was with him! Ah, me, such is the life at Roosevelt, never a dull moment and daily something new. Variety is the spice of life, says the old proverb, and life at Roosevelt is really spicy.

DAYLIGHT SAVING Sunday, April 26, I woke at nine-thirty. It was still early, so I sat down in the living room and began reading the Globe-Democrat. From the bed- rooms l could hear my family taking their last forty minutes of slumber before the hustle for church would begin. You see, once our family wakes up they can eat breakfast, get dressed and be in church, placid and calm, at least ten minutes before the organ prelude begins at ten-thirty. Remembering my breakfast chores, l filled the kettle with water for coffee and placed the toaster on the table. Then l proceeded to read Gasoline Alley. l read from the funnies right up to the front page and sat for a few seconds admiring a picture of a pretty girl setting the clock ahead in a widely known manufacturing firm. My senses suddenly snapped, and l ran to the kitchen to look at our clock. It was an hour slow. l ran through the house banging on all the bedroom doors to awaken my slumbering family. One by one they straggled out each mumbling, What's a matter and What's Wrong wi-th you? We're late for church and everything. lt's really quarter to eleven, church is over and Aunt Ruth, whom we were to meet afterwards for a picnic, has probably left hurt. By this time our whistling teapot was blowing its little sides out, the dog's barking added to the din and the confusion, and the behavior of the whole family was entirely unbecoming for a Sunday morning. l think you know what happened to us. We missed church, we missed my Aunt Ruth, and as far as Daylight-Saving time is concerned, we don't like it, we don't understand it, and I doubt whether we will ever get used to it. One Hundred Fifty-eight VANITA HEFFERNAN One Hundred Fifty-nine HAVE YOU? Have you ever tried to write an essay dealing with a personal subject, about five hundred Words long while your sister is pounding l..iebestraum on the piano, and the dog is howling in accompaniment, and chicken is frying and popping noisily in the kitchen, and your father is. shaving with his electric razor? Well, that is what l'm trying-trying, mind you-to do. l had a lot of subjects chosen that l might possibly write about, such as types of noses, eyes, and hands, but there have been so many essays Written on these portions of the human anatomy that l don't feel justified in adding another to that already too lengthy list. Then l was going to write about the weaknesses of mankind, bringing my own weakness fpicking raisins out of cookies, cake, raisin bread, and other concoctions with raisings in them, into the story, in fact, l had started such an essay, but l became involved with psychology and the infinite causes of man's Weaknessesg and before l knew it, l had surpassed my quota of five hundred words, in fact, l was up around two thousand, five hundred and something. l thought it was pretty good until l read it over-it sounded like the ramblings of some ucrackpotu. fDon't say itll Maybe l sl'1ouldn't have left this task 'til Sunday morning, 'cause this is an especially bad morning to do any studying, for me anyway, my eyes are unconsciously wandering to the funny papers or to the dim outline of the latest book l am reading. The book looks so inviting, and l do so want to pick it up and start reading! No, l Won't pick it up! l'm going to write an essay! l wonder if anyone ever wrote an essay on profiles? l've never read any on profiles! l'll write one someday when l'm in the mood for it. Right now, l don't feel like going into the matter very deeply. ln fact, l clon't feel like going into any matter very deeply. l guess l could write my essay this afternoon-maybe I'1l be able to think of a good topic by then. l..et's see where was I-Oh, yes- Her teeth chattered but so great was her terrorlf' EILEEN HEFFERNAN One Hundred Sixty ON PROCUREMENT OF A BOOK Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity, or the necessity, of going to the Public Library to obtain a book for my school work. l had a very definite book in mind, The S ...,,.....,. by A,, ..,....... and S ............ , and l was very determined to leave the premises of the Public Library with nothing in place of that volume. Upon entering and being duly impressed by the line style of architecture, l came to the card catalog and decided it might be a good idea to make sure that the library had a copy of the S ............. Now the card catalog is a treacherous thing. ln the first place there are too many cards in each drawer. To see anything, you must glance down on the top of the drawer and push the cards back slightly to keep your line of vision from being parallel with the card. l finally found the card that l wanted and now had only to find the book. I looked in vain on the Open Shelves, and then presented my case to the librarian. By some quirk of fate l had forgotten to put the author's name on the slip of paper that l handed the librarian. t This, of course, caused quite a commotion. l was immediately ordered back to the card catalog. The dread of going through this ordeal again refreshed my memory, and I was able to give the names satisfactorily. The librarian looked at me rather distrustfully, as if she thought that l had made up the names on the spur of the moment, but soon departed through the door at the end of the room. After what seemed like an hour, but probably was only forty-five minutes, she returned. As she was holding it, l thought l noticed a pink band encircling the book, but, on second thought, l supposed that the pink was only my imagination. The librarian handed me the book, and I thanked her. She said l was welcome and handed me much literature on the one- fifth mill tax. l sat down at a nearby table to examine the book and make sure it was the volume that I needed. The book itself had a dark ,gray and rather dirty cover that plainly showed the diligent efforts the students of several decades to pry some knowledge from its pages. My first supposition about the pink band turned out to be true after all, it was a piece of string to keep the pages from falling out. This string in itself was one of the most ingenious mechanical devices that l have ever come across. This length of twine like most other pieces of string had two ends, but all similarity stopped there. Even the ends them- selves were different. Now the end of an average piece of string, as you all know, is used chieliy for tying knots, but with this special cord the whole operation of the mechanism depended on the ends. It worked something like this: To open, l needed to pull one end of itg and to close it, I had to pull the other end. I decided to practice a little while before taking the book out of the library. My greatest trouble was deciding which end l had pulled. lnvariably I chose wrong. A friendly librarian, noticing my plight, came to my rescue with a short course in operating the contrivance. I thought l had the problem solved by attaching labels to the ends reading open or close as the case might be. This system worked fine except for one Haw: One Hundred Sixty-one Q F! if I pulled the open end too far it became the closed end and vice versa. There was only one course of action left open to me and that was to choose the hit-and-miss method each time I wanted to open the book. My batting average was pretty low. After once getting the book open, I glanced on the title page and dis- covered the reason for the poor condition of the book-it had been published in London in l8,50. As I carefully turned over each page one by one, being especially careful not to lose any, I couldn't help but wonder about the people that had read this book during its lifetime. Who knows, perhaps even the great Dickens himself had glanced over its pages! Or maybe some of the other great English authors like Wells, Kipling, or G. B. S. Still pos- sibly its first ninety-six years on this earth had been spent just as they are today, being constantly subjected to the handling of students. Turning another page, I saw a small elm leaf fall out. Once again I couldn't help wonder about the 'history of this leaf. I-Iad it come from England? The United States? Was it from this century? Or the last? Oh, what a tale this leaf could tell if it only had a tongue! This was the book that I wanted. I gathered my belongings, filled out the necessary papers, and appeared at the desk. The librarian methodically stamped my card and expressed the hope that the library would see that volume back within four weeks in no Worse condition. I'll cross my bridges as I come to them, I thought. My first problem is to get the book home. RICHARD NoTvEsT THE ART OF SNEAKING INTO THE LUNCH LINE This art has to be practiced over and over again before one can become an expert. The main object is not to be caught. If you are caught by a student monitor, you will probably be sent to the end of the line: whereas, if you are caught by a teacher, you are very likely to be escorted to Mr. I-Iill's office. Here you will be lectured on the evils which come of such habits. After this, several A periods are assigned. The first step is the least dangerous of all. While weaving through the many stools, you try to spot a friend in the line you wish to join. Cautiously you make your way to the side of your friend, making sure that you are not being followed by the hawk-like eyes of the monitors. After the usual formalities of Glad to see you and T-Iow's the girl?,' you wedge yourself into the line. After checking to see that no one has noticed the addition to the line, you can then let out your breath with a sigh of relief. Within the next few minutes you can consider yourself safe if a hand is not laid on your shoulder dragging you toward the door leading to the office. As time passes, the student becomes more and more efficient in this type of maneuvering. After several terms the student reaches his peak and then slowly begins to deteriorate until his nerves can no longer stand the strain. After this has happened the best thing to do is to stand in line until his con- Hclence is regained, and he is once more fit to try again. If he is caught at this stage, his nerves are likely to be shattered forever. MARILYN MYER One Hundred Sixty-two A BOWL OF SOUP Usually, if l've seen the menu on the blackboard earlier in the morning, by the third period l have already decided what I'll buy to eat for lunch. But this morning l arrived at school about 8:54M, and l hadn't reached so far as the lunchroom when the bell rang. Being completely ignorant of the offerings on the menu and not having passed the blackboard, l decided to get into the longest line and wait to see what was at the head of it. As l slowly made my way to the last girl in that line, my nostrils scented the savory aroma of vegetable soup. Why not try some? l'd never before eaten soup in the school lunchroom, so why not make this the first time? l detoured my steps and soon l was standing in the soup line. My, but that soup smelled good, and l was pretty hungry. The line moved slowly, but finally, after about seven minutes of patient waiting, l arrived at my desti- nation. Placing my check on the counter, l confidently picked up the bowl of soup closest to me, which, incidentally, was quite full, and started my journey back to the table at which my friends and I were to eat. Now, l know that you have carried something unusually full and unusually liquid in form at some time or another. So, to a certain extent, you will be able to appreciate the predicamentql was in. l had taken about two and a half steps when l suddenly noticed that I was exceedingly nervous or careless, for the contents of the bowl were lapping crazily up one side and then the other. l stopped abruptly--oh, oh! fa little bit spilled into the plate,-and decided to concentrate explicitly on how l was carrying it. Advancing once again, my balance was momentarily jarred by the dig of a sharp elbow in the vicinity of my left floating rib. Oh, pardon me, came a voice from behind. Someone had stepped on the heel of my shoe, halting my progress. Whew! that was close! l'd just managed to escape the path of a girl coming in my direction like a bulldozer. l wished the girl behind me would stop leaning on me. Excuse me, my elbow was knocked so that the bowl of soup slid p-recariously over to the edge of the plate. A little more spilled out. just then the girl in front of me stopped abruptly and trailed the sleeve of her blouse in the soup. lt's just about time l'm getting to my table, thought l to myself. By this time, half of the soup was lying in the plate under the bowl, and the rest was cooling quickly. l glanced up and saw the familiar table about fifteen feet away. Oh, that's all right, l said to the girl who was apologizing for stepping on my toe. Five more feet to go. There, at last, l made it. Or did l? As l attempted to set the bowl of soup down, the girl behind me pulled out her stool and bumped my arm. With about one and one-half inches of the original four left, l dipped my spoon in for the first taste of that savory vegetable soup. l am still, to this day, wondering if, good though it tasted, it was Worth the effort. .IOANNE DIEZ 'SM .-tc .fi x .sf I. ali' 11: I E 2. -X J H ,...,- qt g 4 mad.

The newspaper man was busy selling his evening papers. Across the street a woman was struggling with a large bag of groceries and trying to watch the traffic light at the same time. A woman and a little girl were coming out of the storeg the woman had to pull the girl away from the fascinating store window. V A group of high school girls and boys started to cross the street against the traffic light. Running and dodging the many speeding cars, a few of the group made it and turned to laugh at the ones who had used their common sense and waited for the light to change. The light changed and there was a bustle of the people to reach the sidewalk before the cars were upon them. Mothers were pulling reluctant children across the street away from the stores and the bright and pretty windows. Everybody had a bundle or bag of groceries. Women, men, and children were walking, running, scrambling, bustling, and hustling along, each with his or her own dreams, thoughts, and ideas. A man with a large dog was walking down the street, not caring whether the animal frightened the people or not. A woman, with a shopping bag, saw the dog and immediately put the bag between herself and the dog for protection and edged over so far away from the dog she had to continue in her hurried way off the walk. Another woman quickly placed her bag in one arm and picked up her child in the other. All this time the man continued on as if no one had been disturbed by the dog and as if his dog were just a tiny puppy. There was a screech of brakes, and to my left I saw a car slowly back up behind the white lineg the driver had not seen the caution light turn to red and had almost hit a man. After a moment, the man continued on his way across the street. There was a constant movement everywhere: people, cars, dogs-all moving. Buses and street-cars. were going by as fast as ever, and faster when they were loaded and could let no one on. Clanging of the streetcars, horns of the buses, all adding to the din and to the great movement and action of the scene which filled the air. A typical St. Louis scene, the fast, almost hasty and nervous, movement of the American people, always trying to do more than one thing at a time or looking out for more than one being at a time. It really was a typical Friday night on Grand and Gravois. EVELYN BARTINIKAS D ,fy we 7 'XT Q51 ,-fx , .1 6 Y? ,il 1 .QTQI x 7 fi One Hundred Sixty-four One Hundred Sixty-fiue MONDAY MORNING Monday morning! To me, the very Words have a strangely sinister sound, a sound which, oddly enough, is not associated with the Mondays of the summer months. Long ago, in my childhood days, I anticipated school with eagerness, dreaming of neat stacks of home-work, carefully followed schedules, and Hall E report cards. Somewhere, in the short span of ten years, that dream fadedg I grew wise with age, and my first hatred of Monday mornings came into being. U It is Monday morning. Exhausted from a dazzling week-end, I lie huddled under several blankets, dozing peacefully, and dreaming. A cold, moist, gray fog is creeping steadily through the partly open window, but having regarded it sleepily for a few seconds, I tuck the covers more securely under my chin, and drop off once again into dreamland. - i'Good morning, little Sunbeam, calls a voice, breaking through my reverie like a foghorn. I am instantly wary, but lie perfectly motionless, in order to give the convincing impression of being sound asleep. Rise and shine, continues The Voice relentlessly. I roll over with a groan and look at It through a half-open eye. It is standing in the doorway adjusting Its tie and beaming broadly. It's Saturday, I mumble hopefully, from my hiding place. It's Mondayf' announces The Voice cheerfully. I think I'll explode! On second thought, I think I won't. I'm too sleepy. Now don't get me wrong. Cheerful people are all right in their place, but that place is definitely not at seven o'clock on a gloomy Mkonday morning. At long last, The Voice gives up, and as Its foosteps die away down the hall, I give a relieved sigh, and settle down once more to dream. uOut of that bed this minute! comes a voice in my ear. This voice is higher, shriller, more demanding, and I realize immediately that I must obey it. Before I have time to say good-bye to my soft, warm bed, I am seized by the feet, and dragged from it bodily. As I said, this voice I must obey. Fully awake by this time, I stagger to the closet, and examine my ward- robe carefully. Although I have never discovered why, on Monday morning, my clothes seem to have run amuck. Every skirt is a mass of wrinkles, every blouse is rumpledg every shoe is even 'dirtier than the prescribed shade that makes it acceptable in proper juke box society. After serious thought, I select the least objectionable outfit, and fling it upon my bed, hoping fervently that my friends will believe the wrinkles to be the result of a hectic street- car ride. After bathing in ice cold water, typical of Monday mornings, I don my clothes, and make my reluctant way down to breakfast. I-Iere I find that my father is already buried behind the front page of the morning paper, my sister is guarding with her life the funny papers, Hedda I-Iopper's column, and Bob I-Iope's Communique, and I have fallen heir to the stock market, the Want ads, and the editorial section. I slide into my chair, and look down eagerly at my plate, hoping to find it steaming with toast and bacon. Instead, planted squarely in front of me, One Hundred Sixty-six is an unwelcome bowl of cereal, which, I was led to believe early in life, would make my hair curl. It does! l choke it down with feverish haste, throw on my coat, snatch up my books, and tear out of the house, racing against time and the street-car. l arrive at the corner just in time and reach the safety zone with my fellow Monday morning sufferers. The street-car grinds to a stop several yards away, and accompanied by fifteen or twenty other people, l struggle to be the first one on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a tiny, frail little woman, who could be no less than eighty-five years of age, standing helplessly behind me, a bewildered look on her face, and a hopeless expres- sion in her eyes. My heart fills With sympathy, when she produces a huge umbrella, seemingly from nowhere, and shoves it into my ribs. HOuta' my way, girlie, she cackles shrilly, and with umbrella, fists, and withering look, she elbows her way past me, telling the world that chivalry is dead. 'l pick up my battered self from the floor of the street-car, fish for my pass, and flash it weakly in the face of a grim-looking conductor who scolds me soundly for detaining him. My street-car journey is utterly wearisome, and at its end, I am shoved out the door into the murky Monday morning atmosphere. The next two blocks seem to fly past my feet, and only too soon, I behold, looming grayly before me, school! As l approach its stern walls, my ears catch the sound of singing voices. I pause a moment to listen, and discover that the song issuing from the building is Battle Hymn of the Republic. I start onward, deriving some courage from the fact that the owners of those voices have risen even earlier than l. As l enter the school, l pass the football star, who is sitting upon a hall bench, the picture of dejection. Usually, l feel too humble to pass so near this wonderful person, but today he looks oddly different: less glamorous, less strong, less noble. Whether this change is the result of Monday morning on him, or on me is debatable. Quickly, l hang my coat in a locker that strongly resembles Fibber lVlcGee's closet, run a comb through my straight, stringy hair fanother result of a damp Monday morningl, and start down the hall. A shrill bell peals out all over the school, and as it does so, l stop short with amazement, a wonderful thought occurring to me. My face alight with delight, I stride briskly up the steps glowing with the happy knowledge that Monday morning won't come for another' whole week. MARJORIE WILLIAMS f . Z One Hundred Sixty-seven THE ADVENTURES OF A DOLLAR Well, here I was, all new and crisp, and with the smartest green outfit you ever saw. I was just lying with stacks and stacks of other bills, many of whom were valued at much more than I wasg but I was content 'cause lid have more of a chance to see the world. That nice banker picked up my stack and, oh, goody! I was going to see the world at last. A very attractive lady came to the banker's cage, and it looked as if I'd soon belong to her. 'l thought I'd like that. Eight, nine, and ten, the banker said, and then I was put into the lady's purse, along with some of my friends. It was really crowded in her bag, but nothing could dim the joy of my anticipated adventures. It seemed ages that I stayed with the lady, but finally one day, she hastily took me out and gave me to a salesgirl at a millinery shop. I was rudely shoved into a big metal box, and the frequent ringing of bells in there almost unnerved me. Luckily, it wasn't long before I heard the salesgirl say, Joey, go out and get me a ham sandwich, will ya? and I was snatched up from my resting place and shoved into a small boy's pocket. The darkness was frightening to me, but after several minutes of being squashed and bounced around in the boy's pocket, I was given to a man with sticky hands, who immediately put me in another big metal box. By now, I was beginning to look a wee bit shabby, but a prized possession none the less! My visit to the drugstore was also short-lived, and next an old woman put me in her pocket . . . But there was a hole in it! And, oh, my!! I fell!! OOOOOOOOPS . . . That man had a very muddy foot, and he cer- tainly weighed enoughg he practically ruined my beautiful green dress. Then came an old tramp, and he headed straight for me! He glanced hesitatingly around to see if anyone was watching him. Soon I was thrust into a very badly mended pocket. Several days passed and finally this old tramp decided to trade me in for some food, when along came a poor, little, old lady, dressed even more poorly, if possible, than my present owner, and leading by her hand, a lad of about five or six. He surely looked hungry! What's 'happening now? I asked myself. I wonder if he's kind enough to give me to her. She needs me even more than he. Yes, I believe . . . Yes! I was put into her trembling hand, rough but reasonably clean. Wasn't that fine of him? After all, he was hungry, too! I was glad there were still some people like that around. After extending to my ex-owner her heartfelt thanks, the old lady and the lad and I went scurrying down the street, and now I'm wondering what other new adventures await me! Oh, well, Time will tell! SHIRLEY BASTIAN u One Hundred Sixty-eight One Hundred Sixty-nine PROBLEMS OF HOME LIVING The Home Economics department of Roosevelt offers our senior boys and girls one year of Problems of Home Living. The first term's work includes: The Familyg The Basic Unit of Societyg Personality and Character Developmentg The lmportance and Scope of Adequate Nutrition: The lm- portance and Scope of Textiles and Clothingg Budgeting of Time, Energy and Moneyg Safe Livingg Education for Living. The material covered in the second term consists of: The Family and the Community: Housing: Planning, Construction, and Decorationg Business Techniques and Legal Knowledge for the I-lomeg Family Relationshipsg Child Care and Trainingg Consumer lnteres-ts of the Flamilyg Securing and Holding a Position. I The accompanying photographs illustrate several Roosevelt students applying their knowledge of Consumer Education at a local furniture estab- lishmentf Who are consumers? All of us: we who spend our money, our energy, and our time getting and using the kinds of goods and services we want. Consumers are not a separate class of people, for all producers are also consumers. What is consumer education, then? It is learning to get more and better satisfactions for the time, energy, and money We have to spend. And, in a broader sense, it is learning to preserve and improve the social and economic conditions that make it possible for all who are Willing to work and to get what they need for good living. Hproblems of Home Living is truly valuable in training young people to make the most of opportunity to achieve success and to establish good homes.

I-low excited we were and we should have been because the aud was on the all-important subject of football. Since Coach Kuntz had left our school and team, Mr. Hill introduced to the student body the new coach who would take Coach Kuntz's place, Coach Lake expressed his appreciation to the team for coming out for practice and to the students as a whole for cooperating with him. Coaches Rost and Van Reen asked all to buy football passes as that is the only financial support the team receives. Coach Rost compared the cost of outfitting the team this year with the cost last year by comparing prices of several pieces of football equipment he had on the stage. ln the I945 season one player's complete uniform cost 36650. This included all the necessary pads, guards, socks, shoes, jersey, and trousers. The same outfit this season H9461 cost 57950. This proves that more than ever the team needs our support to be well equipped. AN ANTHROPOLOGIST COMES TO ROOSEVELT Today during the first period, the students had their second assembly for the term. Mr. Hill introduced Dr. Ethel Alpenfels, a noted anthropologist and author of several articles on race prejudice, to the student body. The Problems of Living classes were not present at the assembly. Dr. Alpenfels' topic was There ls No Racial Superiorityf' During her speech she pointed out that there can be no racial superiority sirice all men are the same except for the color of their skin. Minor differences are found in the hair structure and the shape of the shin bone and the shape of the cranium. The Chinese has a larger brain capacity than has any other race. One startling statement was that any person having red hair has a trace of Irish blood. After her speech there was a period of about twenty minutes during which Dr. Alpenfels answered such questions, as What will the man of the future look like? After a short question period the students were dismissed to go to their second period classes. H Qcur on KN-N BREWER 'DTN NX M l Xlgi fi fl X M Li Afzr A y ' V-X X iv y 1 Q f 1 - X M Q 0 T 'sw QMS?

Lucky for those who had classes but Very unfortunate for those poor souls who had a study hall. This aud was worth missing a study hall period for the Swing Band was featured, though the occasion was Fire Prevention Week. Captain Quinliven, our old friend. who comes to speak to us every year on the do's and don'ts of fire prevention, was unable to be with us this year. ln his place came Private Gafney who drove home the fact that fire prevention should be practiced all through the year. Then Mr. Hill introduced the new Music Masters to us. Before they started playing he warned the student body that the band had been able to practice only once. Their first piece was Two O'Clock Jump, and the new band leader, Paul Rey, put the band through its paces. He spared neither the band nor himself. After all this exertion they played the dreamy piece, Day by Day , and then another fast one called American Patrol . The aud ended with the playing of the Swing Band's theme song, Mood Indigo . - I. I' ,fl NAVY DAY, OCTOBER 28 Another one of those pleasant rests from classes that is called an aud. It was the fifth one We've had this term, but--are we complaining? This was no ordinary aud for it was in honor of ,Navy Day and Theodore Roosevelt. It seemed only fitting that we, Theodore Roosevelt High School, should go all out in honoring him on his birthday. Since a number of Navy veterans are attending our school this term, Mr. Hill had invited all twenty-one of them to be seated on the stage. It was quite a sight to see them all together behind the footlights. The aud started with the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner and an address by Mr. Hill. Bob Smylie, the first speaker on the program, drove home the fact that Theodore Roosevelt did more to build up and increase the Navy of the United States than any one man in our history and it is to him we owe our large navy of today. After his short speech, Miss Hilb directed the Boys' Glee Club in singing Anchors Away . . Then Mr. Hill introduced the principal speaker, Chief Harold H. Porter, Chief Machinist Mate of the United States Navy. The topic of his speech was Our Navy in Peace Time . ' The band then played two stirring numbers entitled American Patrol and Blue and Gold . After another song by the Glee Club, we were excused to go to our second period classes. One Hundred Eighty-Hue THE FOOTBALL RALLY Ah, men! Yes, the Whole stage was covered with them. This was the fourth aud this term and it was certainly welcome. Auds like this one break the monotony of the day. Coaches Rost, Van Reen, and Lake invited us all out to the stadium Saturday night, to see our first league football game. They explained the strength and weaknesses of our team as a whole and the weak and strong points of the other high school teams. Coach Rost again stressed the need of buying a season pass. He explained that passes were convenient and eco- nomical, and he urged all the students to support the team by buying one. As soon as the energetic cheer leaders led the student body in a few rousing cheers for the team, the coaches, and the school, Coach Rost intro- duced to us the individual members of the team. The whole stage was brightened by the red jerseys and beaming smiles of each player when introduced. After we heard of the previous feats and the abilities of each member of the team, we left the aud confident that we would win the city championship. io -I ,fx 1. ASF X N1 V4 bil 99 '9 il xi -jf!

He introduced to us another speaker, the second in the series of lectures on racial prejudices. The speaker was Miss Katwin, a psychologist and an authority on child training. Miss Katwin showed us how during childhood prejudices against certain races or nationalities are formed. She explained the cause of preju- One Hundred Eighty-six dices, their sources, how to uncover them, and how to overcome them. Miss Katin 'pointed out that prejudices are evil things and do much to divide a nation. ' We were then excused from the aud, many of us still pondering over the thought of uncovering and overcoming our prejudices. NOVEMBER 14 Since Friday night, November l5, is Open l-louse here at Roosevelt, we had an aud session to urge all students to bring their parents. Mr. Gammeter introduced Gladys Perringer, who spoke to us about the entertaining program planned for Friday night. After this, Paul Rey and his Music Masters played to an appreciative audience Eager Beaver and Boogie Blues . From the musical the program turned to the muscular. On the stage was seated the apparatus team: John Caito, the Hayes twins, Gerald Langeneckert, Emil Koerner, Bob Milrray, Wesley Stearn, Bill Stewart, and Don Wilson. These boys performed on bars, swings, and rails. Three girls, Maxine Grueb, Barbara Mewes, and Virginia Rau, also performed on the apparatus. This was unusual as girls had never before attempted apparatus work at Roosevelt. After a rendition of Tuxedo Junction by the swing band the students left the aud, listening to the Music Masters' theme song, Mood lndigou. NOVEMBER 20 Today we had our eighth aud of the term. This time it was held during the first period, and the whole student body attended except the Problems of Living classes. The aud was another lecture by a noted author and educator. Mr. Virgil L. Border, Associate Regional Director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, introduced Dr. Leo Shapiro, a member of the' same organization. Dr. Shapiro's topic for discussion was The Magic of the Printed Page. l-le illustrated in his lecture how misleading stories, radio programs, movies, and books areiin pointing out characteristics of certain races, classes, or, perhaps, groups of people. Dr. Shapiro asked us to prove such characteristics true before accepting them as facts because often such facts give rice to prejudices which may wrongfully shape our lives. After his talk there was a short question period. After finding out that we don't know what is going on inside our own minds half the time, we went to our second period classes. NOVEMBER 2 7 My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, were the words of the opening song of today's aud session. Since this musical aud was sponsored by Student Council, Mr. I-Iill turned it over to Student Council's chairman, Bob Hixson, who in turn introduced to us the master of ceremonies, Bob Smylie. Miss I-lilb's A'Cappella Choir sang Oh, Send Thy Light Forth, to One Hundred Eighty-seven put us in a thanksgiving mood along with Bob Smylie's explanation of the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving. Community singing was the feature of this program. The student body sang with enthusiasm the old songs, Yankee Doodle and Oh Susanna. Then came a chance for all the boys in the auditorium to show their power in that new old favorite Clementine . After that the Small Ensemble, composed of members of the A.'Cappella Choir, sang 'iO'ld Camp' Grounds, which was followed by Bob Schumacher, the choir, and the students singing Surrey with the Fringe on Top . Before each song Bob Smylie gave the origin of the song and the period of national growth the song represented. Retiring football captain Bob I-lixson expressed his appreciation to the students- for the fine sportsmanship and school spirit shown at the stadium. As he finished his short speech the entire student body rose to their feet, clapping their hands and cheering for the outstanding job the team had done all term. We were then dismissed to go to our sixth period classes after singing four final songs: Meet Me in St. Louisf' Keep the Home Fires Burning, Anchors Away, and America the Beautiful . DECEMBER 2 This aud was the fourth lecture on racial prejudices. Mr. Virgil L. Border, Associate Regional Director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, introduced to us Dr. Lohman of the University of Chicago. Dr. Loh- man's topic was Characteristics of Modern Society and its Problems . After studying social conditions in every section of the city of Chicago, Dr. Lohman was able to tell us of the many social problems facing us. Some of these are the ever-increasing well organized groups of gangsters. These gangs are formed by members of society who, being poor, Hnd no way to better themselves by doing ordinary work. Individually we can do nothing to overcome these evils, but as a body we can help the helpless. To show all men that the pleasures and privileges enjoyed by most of us can be shared and enjoyed by all Who wish to share them, is the start to better society. One Hundred Eighty-eight DECEMBER I 0 During the sixth period, the Washington University debating team dis- cussed the proposition: The United States should adopt the proposed system of complete medical care. Mr. Beady for the affirmative pointed out that the two main faults with the present medical system were poor distribution of medical facilities and high cost of medical care. For the negative, Mr. Aldrich declared that the proposed system would restrict a doctor's area of service, because he could not choose his location. After the rebuttal there was a short question period. December 24-The bell rang and everyone dashed into the auditorium to enjoy another Christmas aud session. As we entered, Mr. l'lahnel's orches- tra greeted us with Yuletide Echoes and White Christmas. Brilliant tableaux depicting several scenes from the Christmas story decorated the stage and with the soft lights gave to the aucl a hushed, reverent air. When everyone was finally seated, the A'Cappella Choir slowly marched in singing the old favorite Yuletide hymn, Oh, Come All Ye Faithful. Going down the aisle, the choir, dressed in their Howing robes, was another Christmas note of red and white. The order of the program was as follows: Choir: Alleluia fsolo, Harriet Koenig, Carol Club: Ave Maria Carol of the Bells Choir: I Wonder as I Wander CSolo, Virginia Feslerj How Far is It to Bethlehem The Three Kings Oh, Holy Night Solo: Ave Maria, Bob Schumacher Small Ensemble: Away in a Manger CDuet, Helen Gahm and Eleanor Conraclj The Holly and the Iuy Choir: Hallelujah Chorus Recessional-Silent Night The accompanists were Harriet Koenig and Helene Schubkegel. Between the songs Narrator Bob Smylie told the old but beautiful story of Christ's nativity. On the stage, surrounded by straw and attending cherubim, a babe lay in a manger. We left the auditorium filled with the Christmas spirit and looking forward to the coming holidays with eager anticipation.
