fn Eecvgnitivn Mrs. Anita McWherter, Mr. George Warner, Mr. Robert Arnold, and Mr. Lee Zanetti, we realize the efforts and extra time you have put forth to make our school more enioyable for the students at Roosevelt, we present this page of recognition as a tribute to your services. Mrs. Anita McWherter, secretary and former librarian, has completed her twen- tieth year at Roosevelt and plans to re- tire from the noise and confusion which accompanies every school. Her stay has been long and we realize that without her assistance a functioning .part of the school could not have existed. Since 1946 Mr. George Warner has been an occupant of Roosevelt, begin- ning his career by teaching shop classes and coaching the lightweight football team, now he is vice-principal. This is a hard and often times a thankless iob but without someone to fulfill this position our school would not be so closely knit, so thank you, Mr. Warner, for all your help. Teachers and administrators come and go but among our memory list will shine the name of Mr. Robert Arnold, because of his contributions to the music depart- ment. Within the realm of thirteen years that he has taught the Rough Rider musi- cians his orchestra and band repeatedly received superior ratings at festivals in Fresno, which proves that he has unfailing abilities. Chief broom pusher and clean-up man, Mr. Lee Zanetti has been here for eight years within which time he has had a smile for everyone and is always around when needed. Such a supervisor is a ne- cessity at every school but we feel we have been blessed with the best and hope he will stay at Roosevelt indefinitely. Once again, we recognize all of you for your unselfish service and time you have devoted to making Roosevelt such a wonderful school. Mrs. Anita McWherter Mr. George Warner 153 X. Mr. Robert Arnold Mr. Lee Zanetti

FOREWORD Hi! l'm Mittie Branch, editor of your l957 Nautilus. Are you wondering why l'm standing here like this? Well, this year my staff and I are all set to take you on ,a guided tour of Roosevelt via the Nautilus. We feel that in order to show you every part of Roosevelt from the old- est tradition to the newest activity, a per- sonal you and me tour by the Nautilus staff would be the best possible way to do it. First though, introductions are in or- der. l'd like you to meet this little fellow standing next to me, he's Mr. Fop. You caught your first glimpse of him on the Nautilus cover, and throughout this year's book you will meet him again and again as he attempts to help us guide you through our own Theodore Roosevelt High School. lf you would like to know why he has such an odd name, we have this expla- nation: Mr. Webster, who has been a great help to us, said that a fop is a little gentleman who is very vain about his appearance, and we decided that our little friend was iust that-hence he was christened Mr. Fop. My staff, Mr. Fop, and I have collected all the high points of this past year and put them into print and pictures so that you might have permanent memories of 1957. Of course, it was a tiring, year-long iob lwitness the circles under our eyesl, but we feel that every headache, worry, and sleepless night will be rewarded when you come to the end of our guided tour and realize how truly wonderful Roosevelt is. Exciting moments like: winning the Big- Little Game for the second year in a row, the glitter and excitement of the Prom, the ever-awaited graduation, everyday happenings like your English class, filling out an absence slip, and your locker sticking when you have one minute to make a class, all these are included as only a small part of this book. So, if you're ready, so are Mr. Fop and I, let's turn the page and begin to iourney through Roosevelt . . .
