Elph! Ria Wo2HWHsiffj MR. CLIFFORD CROSBY Though the recent appointment of Mr. Crosby as principal of the Charless Grade School elicited our congratulations, nevertheless we have keenly felt the loss of a valuable teacher and real friend, Mr. Crosby is well-known not only as a teacher, but also as a former outstanding football coach of McKinley High School. Here at Roosevelt, Mr. Crosby taught physiology, was the advisor of a winning group, and later had charge of the bookroom, Always Mr. Crosby served everyone with his unfailing courtesy and efficiency. While rejoicing in his advancement, we all miss Mr. Crosby, whose willing services we have appreciated, and whose friend- ship we have enjoyed.

W1 ' HSP' MR. CHARLES AMMERMAN, Assistant Principal It was a great pleasure for all students who had known Nlr. Ammerman as a teacher, to learn of his appointment as assistant principal of Roosevelt High School. Vve all know that Mr. Ammerman is a mathematician of wide repute. Besides his work as a teacher here, and at other high schools, he was co-author in the writing of several Algebras which are used in St. Louis and other cities as textbooks. Those students who were fortunate enough to come in contact with Mr. Ammerman know not only of his deep understanding and untiring efforts, but also of his willingness to be of service to all. Although many of us regretted that we were to lose him as a teacher, nevertheless, we, this term, have found that, as assistant principal, he is an exceedingly helpful and valuable friend. Seven

Q g W1 V 541557-3,7 MR. ARMAND R. MILLER It was with the greatest surprise and sincerest regret that we learned of the resignation of Mr. Armand R. Miller as principal of Roosevelt High School last February. Mr. Miller was indeed a friend to both the faculty and the students, and, under his guidance and leadership in both schools of which he had been the head, numerous new projects and features were introduced. Some of the most important include the organization of a student council and bank, the formation of a chapter of the National Honor Society, and the issuing of a weekly school paper. Since Mr. Miller came to St. Louis in l90l, he has worked in the Public Schools as an instructor in Chemistry and Physiography, and his executive ability has been shown in both Primary and Secondary Schools. We all know how his untiring efforts to make Roosevelt a better school succeeded. Though we were deeply sorry to have him leave us, we hope that he is finding pleasure and con- tinued success in his new field of work as instructor at Harris Teachers' College. Nine
