LOFGREN DAN STEINHOFF Music Oral Expression Girls' Physical Education Commercial Physiology iout Mzfuaffe 6111525 opted PROGRAM DIRECTOR: Four new courses, student voca- tional forums, vocational interviews, and panel discussions- these are some of the curricular and extra-curricular changes at Roosevelt which indicate that the school finds it necessary to adapt its program to the changing needs of the community. A new Safety Course, required of all juniors, is aimed at producing safe, courteous drivers, Recognizing and meeting the need for a better understanding of the beauty and riches of our state is the new course, Northwest Industries, The Personal Achievement Classes, begun this year, continue their popularity with upper classmen who desire to work out a program of self- analysis and improvement. The new required Health Course at- tempts to use the material of the old Physiology Course to bring about the development of good health habits. Thus, by creat- ing something new, and by adapting the old to new conditions, we keep pace with our changing needs, The problem of choosing and preparing for a vocation has been given an unusual amount of attention this year. Through the co-operation of English classes, Dr. Nylen has held a series of Vocational Forums with considerable success and student in- terest. Prominent people such as Dean Lauer, Prof. Daniels and Asst. Supt. Fleming have been interviewed at assemblies. The Vocational Conference in April gave each student an opportu- nity to confer with a recognized leader in each of two vocations. Another venture was the panel discussion on the resources of the State of Washington, presented by the Debate Club for Con- servation Week. These curricular and extra-curricular ventures are indications that Roosevelt High School has not lost the progressive spirit of its patron and namesake, Theodore Roosevelt, who was not a man to rest upon the achievements of the past. 16
