Words Eye View Of An Administrator MR. WARREN M. ANDERSON, Principal of Roose- velt High School, bids farewell to his formal responsibilities as an educator after serving near a half century in that ca- pacity. His future, however, includes much continued edu- cational growth as he plans to read, write and travel. His talents and capacities as a public speaker after retirement will be utilized locally and nationally. WARREN M. ANDERSON, the eldest of six siblings, was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Marion Anderson, had limited educations, but they insisted that each of their children finish high school and attend the college of their choice. Indiana State University, formerly known as Indiana State Teachers College is loca- ted in Terre Haute, and MR. ANDERSON graduated from ISU receiving his undergrad degree. Later attendance at the University of Michigan resulted in completion of requirements for the masters degree. Post grad work was done at Indiana State and Indiana University. The early teaching career of this educator included teach- ing elementary and junior high school classes at Booker T. Washington School in Terre Haute. In 1932, MR. AN- DERSON came to Gary, Indiana. His first Gary assign- ment was teaching social studies and Latin classes at Roo- sevelt High School. His career flourished, and he later transferred to the field of English. He became assistant principal, and on the retire- ment of former principal, Mr. H. Theo. Tatum, assumed duties as principal of RHS. MR. ANDERSON'S varied experiences include travels with his wife, the former Helen Hummons of Indianapolis, throughout the United State including all of the fifty states except Hawaii, the length and breadth of Canada, Alaska and much overseas visitation in England, Germany, Bel- gium, Luxembourg, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, the Carribean Islands, South America and Venezuela. If you want to see a quick sparkle light up the eyes of this gentleman, inquire of Shelia and Craig Davis, his grand- daughter and grandson. The Andersons will spend much of their new found leisure after his retirement visiting their son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Curtis Davis, of St. Louis Park, a Minneapolis suburb and the grandchildren. Indulgence in one of his favorite pastimes N golf was limited because of other pressing responsibilities and activi- ties. However, MR. ANDERSON hasn't completely for- gotten his swing. He hopes to become a frequent visitor on the golf courses throughout the land during his days of un- clocked and well earned lesisure. MR. ANDERSON also plans to continue as a member of the senior choir at First Baptist Church. He served as director of that group for fourteen years. Even Sundays include working with children as MR. ANDERSON regularly teaches a youth group each Sunday morning. He will continue his services as a church trustee, a service he has fulfilled many years. Forty-three years of moulding youthful minds nears an end. Nay, hardly an end, but a new beginning. Forty-three years of more than classroom interest in youth and their glories and their conflicts cannot easily end with retirement from active responsibilities. MR. ANDERSON will always be part of the educational confraternity that seeks to guide and help the young and impressionable. It is well to know that almost any place he sets foot these days, national, foreign or local. he meets an RHS alumnus who opens doors, easing the atmosphere and making home away from home a much more comfortable and pleasant place to explore and enjoy. The impact and influences exerted by MR. ANDERSON as he guided youth toward goals of realization and implant- ed zeals for the better things life affords cannot be enumer- ated or expressed in terms of clanging symbols and tingling brass. The affections of those who know and love him serve as endearments and monuments to this educational servant. When the golden epoch of one's career reaches its zenith. and the time is ripe to reminisce and enjoy mementoes of the past and present, what better can one who has devoted his life and work to the improvement of his fellowman both young and old require than that he successfully pricked the consciences of the very young and taught them that to think strong is one of man's greatest assets. What betterjoy can man Give to fellowman Than to share the best Of himself with those He meets and knows And LOVES!
