At four o'clock the cafeteria buzzed with the excitement of a Bridge Club meeting. '5One heart, Nl pass, and 5'We'll never make game! were but a few of the comments heard as we senior girls held our biweekly meeting. Mr. Webber, our sponsor, could be seen going from table to table giving instructions to beginners and describing techniques to more advanced players. Most of us had mimeographed sheets beside us which explained bidding, rebidding, scoring, and other points. When our fellow members offered suggestions, we listened. Through these means we were all either learning to play bridge or to improve our playing ability. We had no special speakers, no planned programs: we only wanted to play bridge. We knew that we would want to play a great deal after we graduated, and this seemed like the best time to learn. Later on in our meeting refreshments were served, but they were only secondary to the game. Organization was not of great importance, either, but we did need officers. First semester we elected Kay Campbell, president: Maribeth Larson, vice-president: JoAnn Scribner, secretary, and Leda Papanastassiou, treasurer. Elaine Yamasaki, president, Carole Olsen, vice-president, Sue Arthur, secretary: and Jackie Ives, treasurer, took over the responsibilities second semester.

The creative writing process Scrihblers listen to Ravel's dramatic Bolero and then write mood pie:-es from its inspiration. It was a typical Scribblers Club meeting, and we were listening intently as one of ollr fellow members read his original composition. When he finished we began to comment on his work. The most helpful suggestions came from Miss lirody. the club sponsor, but we all praised the strong points and critim-ized the weak. We knew that the reader was grateful for all the sugges- tions, because we had each been required to read at least one of our own short stories, poems or essays during the semester and we realized that the purpose of Scribblers Club is to help us increase our creative writing ability. W'hen four or tive others had read their manuscripts. we all began to write exlemporaneously as a musical recording was played. Earlier in the year we had written with a given topic such as noses or a contemporary painting as bark- ground. and now we were writing to music. These special sessions had been planned and organized by the oflin-ers elected each semester.

Mafh-Science Club 4 l W Math-science enthusiasts fri give their atten- tion to club president, senior Bob Jester fbe- lowl aspiring TRHS scientist, as he lectrues, to W them on dimension and relativity theories at l regular club meeting. Math and science enthusiasts of Roosevelt were off again on another field trip. This time we Math-Science Club members were touring the Armstrong Rubber Company, but it was only one ol' many trips we had made during the year to increase our knowledge of mathematics and science. Other interesting things we saw included the observatory at Drake, an electronic device called a synchrotron at Iowa State College, Ames, and the IBM machines at Bankers Life. These l0lll'S were arranged by our oflicers: liob Jester, president, Art Roberts, vice president, Donna Anderson, secretary, and Lynne Berhow, treasurer. These officers also planned our regular meetings after school, at which many of the programs were presented by Clllb members. Be- cause we had studied or were still studying some advanced math or science, each of us was qualified to give detailed reports and make scientific observations before the entire group. We also worked together on special projects, which this year included buying a generator lor the physics department, selling physics and chemistry handbooks, and participating in the Junior Academy of Science and the Science lfair. When we completed our year's program, we agreed with our sponsor, Mr. Kirkpatrick, that wc had broadened our own knowledge and had given service to the school during the nine academic months of '57-'58. Sputnik and tllc Russians had nothing over us. Row I: Molly Bond, June Fisher, Polly Gerhart, Barb Baker, Jean Jacob, Ann Turner.
