Tr dition I 14nd mode n Contrasting are the modern cafeteria and the Spanish Styled Administration building. CAMPUS Both the traditional and the modern are depicted through the architecture on the Roosevelt High School campus, nu- merous buildings have been added or subtracted during the 26 years the great American's namesake has been in exist- ence. Since 1928 the Spanish-styled admin- istration building with its ivy-covered walls and red tile roofs has housed generations of students and teachers. Immediately following its construction, thirteen bungalows were added to the ever-growing campus, the last of these portable classrooms was torn down lust two years ago. In l94O, the need for a gym produced the present one, and in that same year the cornerstone for the East hall was laid. Every school must have an eating place, and Roosevelt was no exception. The large, complete, and modern cafeteria came into existence soon after the con- struction of the East hall. Following the addition of a heated swimming pool, plus two rows of shops, the pride of the Roosevelt campus was produced, a huge, fully equipped million- dollar auditorium became the most mod- ern and widely used building in the school. The construction of dressing rooms around the swimming pool, and the senior court along with a plant-lined walkway behind the gym, add to the campus, but finishing touches are still being put on it, paved driveways, walks, and further landscaping are planned soon in the future. Through a steel fence comes this view of Roosevelt's huge and fully equipped gymnasium.

' 1 GOVERNMENT Despite the rumor, l do not have ink in my veins, although after writing Nauti- lus copy all year l sometimes begin to wonder. Anyway, l'm Sheila Stone and as Nautilus literary editor l've got a real iob 'taking care of the type and printer's ink department of the yearbook. Since each page in the Nautilus has a certain amount of print on it, my iob along with that of my staff includes writing over 30,000 words. ln addition to supervising my staff's journalistic endeavors, l, along with Mr. Fop, will attempt to guide you through the phases of Roosevelt's student government. Mr. Fop! Will you settle down and be- have? The fellow with the gavel over there is likely to apply it to your head if you don't wise up a little. The Roosevelt senate, consisting of elected officers and organizational heads, plus the house of representatives, com- posed of advisory members, are the two main bodies where legislation and ideas for Roosevelt's activities are born. The twice yearly elections complete with nomi- nations, registered voting, and election boards, make soap-box time even more realistic and educational. Student government means more than elections and voting . . . it is the founda- tion on which democracy and citizenship are built and the basis for tomorrow's adult thinking. action I .qv 5,11 ' x Q I Q g.
