g . A . i Q w,, u - , ..,ll1 'FWF' tw 'I -' Two -Courtesy of Army Air Forces, Training Command, Jefferson Barracks I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, W'here the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the streamg 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: ln God is our trust. And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

With the increased revenue, more photo- graphs have been printed and cartoons have been revived. This term 'the Student Council, the War Activities Committee, the Seniors, Sevens, and Sixes, have chosen their own representatives on the Rough Rider staff to make the organization more democratic. A large number of Rough Riders are mailed each week to Rooseveltians in the Service to show we have not forgotten them. The Rough Rider is your paper and you can be a member of the staff if you wish. Reporters, feature writers, photographers, cartoonists, typists, and distributors, are needed each term and there are no comprehensive exami- nations necessary before obtaining a job. If you are interested, apply in the Rough Rider office, Room 224. You may have more talent than you realize: you may have even discovered a new joke. Seventy-three ml ,Mfr 5 W' fir!

FERDE GROFIE CLASS OFFICERS President: Byron Stevens Secretary: Jim Scalise Treasurer: Darleene Rigsby Because of his exceptional ability as an arranger and composer of instru- mental music, Ferde Grofe was chosen by this class as one of Americas best representatives in portraying our way of life. I-lis greatest contributions are the Grand Canyon Suite, Tabloid, and his Mississippi Suite. It was Grofie who contributed not a little to the success of Cershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Grof6's music may be heard almost every day over the radio.

Eighty BOYS' BOWLING Moderator: Mr. Griggs OFFICERS jan. to June, I943 Sept, 1943, to Jan., 1944 President: Clifford Kruse Wallace Geipel Secretary: Richard Ault Floyd McKinney Treasurer: Wallace Ceipel Brader Zimmer The purpose of the Boys' Bowling Club is to provide an opportunity for physical recreation. The club is organized on the same basis as are adult bowling leagues. There are six teams which meet in competition in accordance with a prepared schedule. The games are played on Tuesday, after school, at the Gravois Bowling Alleys. Originally the club membership included both boys and girls. Last year it was decided to divide the club into two parts, one for the boys and one for the girls. This seems to have had good results, as both clubs are getting along very well. Eighty-one GIRLS' BOWLING Moderator: E. Manheimer OFFICERS Jan. to June, i943 Sept., I943, to Jan., I944 President: Eileen O l..erry Pat Cronin ' Secretary: Pat Cronin Mary Canada Assistant Secretary: Rosemary Pechan Elise Wilcutt Treasurer: Margaret Tucker Jeanette Rammelsburg Assistant Treasurer: Elsie Wilcutt Charlotte Folluo For many years, the Girls' Bowling Club has been recognized as one of the most favorable sports organizations of Roosevelt High School. Recrea- tion, physical development, and training in good sportsmanship have always been the guiding principles of the club. The increasing demand for member- ship shows that bowling has decidedly risen in popularity among the students. Bowling is a sport which improves the mind as Well as the body. ln bowling the true American spirit is revealed, especially when the season is drawing to a close. Although a matter of one point can decide the cham- pionship, each team, each teammate, is so closely united in skill and endeavor that her fighting spirit is never lost, regardless of the winning team.

With these aims in mind, and also to provide intellectual education, the Roosevelt Camelot and Chess Club was organized in l929, and is still going strong. During this time, the club has produced players who have ranked high in city, state, and national chess tournaments. At the beginning of the school year, the time is spent mostly in teaching new members to play chess, and selecting members. for Roosevelt High School Chess Team. Chess teams of other schools are then played in inter' scholastic competition. Chess is a very ancient game, and probably had its origin in lndia. The game has been described as both an art and a science. Actually, it is a contest in which the brains and skill of one person are pitted against those of another. ,.st0n4 MATHEMATICS CLUB Moderator: MI.

The club meets every other Friday at the Winter Garden where we are given a special rate on the regular price of admission. All a member must do to get this rate is to present a card at the ticket window specifying he is a member of the club and the Winter Garden will honor it. Members look forward to each Friday, because then we have an enjoy- able time, getting acquainted with many new friends, and at the same time, learning the art of ice skating. If you're interested in skating or in learning how to skate, we invite you to join our club.

Playing in tune, blending tones in perfect harmony, melody line and phras- ing, and knowledge of all rhythmic patterns are fundamentals necessary to play in an orchestra. Skills and the development of ensemble playing should begin as early as possible. Musical coordination and good habits are accomplished easily during the growing period. Eigh,g,,,,'ne JUNIOR RED CROSS CLUB Moderator: Miss Fruin OFFICERS Sept., 1943, to Jan., 1944 President: Grace Yesley Vice-President: Vercile Schmidt Secretary: Anna Mae Hildebrand Treasurer: Jean Stevens The Junior Red Cross Club at Roosevelt High School was organized in October, 1941, under the supervision of Miss Fruin. The purpose of the club is to give relief and help wherever it is needed. ln the past year and a half We have done much to make life more com- fortable for the men of our armed forces by making property bags, ice-bag covers, and other articles for their use and comfort. We have cheered soldiers of World War I at the Veterans' Hospital by sending greeting cards at Christmas and Easter. Last Christmas we filled boxes with gifts for the needy children of faraway lands. This year we have begun making wash cloths for the men in the armed forces. There are several clubs and groups about school all working for the same purpose and cheerfully doing their share. Ninety sf, , , , , r VV , i, gi KNIT WITS Moderator: Miss Binningion OFFICERS Jan. to.

As the years went by, more girls became interested in the club. When World War II broke out the enrollment in this club increased and all the knitting was turned out for the Red Cross. We are proud to say that the girls have knitted army sweaters, scarfs, gloves, layettes, little boys' suits, and afghans. The club holds a regular knitting meeting every week. In addition to these meetings there are social meetings. such as picnics and hikes. These are planned and managed by the members of the Social Committee who are appointed for this phase of the club activities. The dues of the club are small. Ninety-one THE LUNCH ROOM SERVICE Most of the pupils of Roosevelt High School eat their lunch at school in our school cafeteria. That sounds simple enough-and is. Lunch checks are purchased for five cents each before school at the lunch check windows. When the bell rings for the lunch period to begin, everyone races down to the lunchroom, deposits his books on the shelves, and hurries to the food counter. The average pupil takes his plate of food and lays down her lunch check to pay for it, but very few people ever notice those who have sold them their checks or who have put the dishes of food on the counter for them, or who have collected that check. Someone must do this Work, so a group of Roosevelt pupils organized by Miss Flanigan are the ones who do it. They are excused three minutes early from their third period class so that they may wash their hands, don hair nets, and be behind the counter before the bell rings. The members of the lunch room staff who work behind the counters or as guards among the tables enjoy doing their work.

Upepettesn teaches and encourages younger pupils to take an interest in all the activities that are going on at school. After the Pepettes have earned the required points by going to all these activities, Pep R votes on them after careful consideration of personality, cooperation, and pep. The purpose of organizing this club was to give the girls in Roosevelt an opportunity to attain membership to Pep R.

The club became so popular it became necessary to limit the membership to fifty members chosen from the school at large. ln clue time, later a junior club, Pepettes. , was formecl for the purpose of filling vacancies in the Pep R Club. These girls are chosen for their cooperation, personality, spirit, ancl for the number of points Won as uPep- ette members. Ninety-four PHOTOPLAY APPRECIATION Moderator: Mis-s Margaret V.

It meets at a quarter after one on the afternoon of the fourth Friday except during November and December, when it meets the third Thursday. Four night meetings are held: on the second Wednesday of October, December, February, and April at eight o'clock. These meet- ings have programs of inspirational and educational value with speakers well known in their fields of endeavor. Ninety-six R. A. E. S. Moderator: Miss Haeseler The Roosevelt Auxiliary Emergency Service, known to Rooseveltians as the R. A. E.. S., is one of the school's newest clubs. It was organized late last semester and since that time has already participated in a number of activities and is looking forward to many more. As the name implies, it is a group organized to give help where help is needed. Ninety-seven The R. A. E.. S. is Roosevelt's answer to the W. A. C.'s. They meet every Tuesday after school for regular drill. On Wednesday the non-commissioned officers attend non-coms' school for advanced training. As yet, this organization does not have commissioned officers but plans are being made to install them before the new year. Not all of this activity could not have been possible if certain R. O. T. C. officers had not been willing to give freely of their time and energy. The R. A. E. S. Wish to thank them for this valuable instruction and advice. Non-Commissioned Officers of R. A. E..

These include raising the Hag, acting as air raid monitors, and taking part in many audi- torium sessions. Ninety-nine Wim SERVICE GROUP Are you active and helpful in the school? The moderator of the Service Bureau, Mr. Griggs, calls for service volunteers at the beginning of each term. Service is needed all over the school. Service points are open to Student Council representatives, the mayor, members of committees, and other activities of the school, as well as pupils who work in the office, supply room, doctor's office, library, halls, doors, and gates. All of you can probably name 'numerous other ways or places to receive points. A full credit is given for working one period each week for one termg however, the teacher or moderator gives the person as much credit as he or she deserves. These points are recorded each term and filed in the office of the Service Bureau. When a pupil receives fifteen credits, a Service R is awarded. If a person is successful enough to receive four Service R's , a Service Pin is presented to the worker. Service points can be earned before or after school, as well as during school. Many people find enjoyment and make many friends through service by Working for the school.

They are taught the genuine val e of music, whether it be composi- tions by such immortals as Brahms, B ethoven, Bach, Dvorak, Greig, or by the modern composers. ln addition -to musical training, other factors necessary in the early training for life such as good habits, concentration, cooperation, discipline, and patience are developed almost unconsciously.

Cole Porter is uessentially a writer of production numbersf' which means songs fitting a definite situation in a musical show. His songs are either slow, exotic, langorous, or of strongly sentimental character. We also enjoy the music of other contemporary composers, as Gershwin, Kern, Youmons and many others. Cole Porter class members are buying records to donate to the school.

Have you ever been to the Spanish Club? If not, you certainly have missed a good time. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to acquaint the members with Spanish countries- and customs, to foster an interest in them, and to cultivate a better appreciation of oral Spanish. We have many interesting programs at our meetings, such as dialogues, playlets, games, speeches, musical numbers, and sketches of famous people. A fiesta is given at which Spanish games are played. Often we have a piiata and sometimes an entertainment in the auditorium. The Spanish Club is very much interested in Pan-American relations and the good will of our neighboring South and Central' American countries. This term We are corresponding with pupils of high schools in Lima, Peru. We realize the importance of becoming better acquainted with the other Americans. All persons who are taking Spanish and who are interested in the club are invited to attend the meetings which are held on A Wednesdays in Room 324. Come and see if the club merits your membership. One Hundred Five V STUDENT COUNCIL To promote a means for student participation in the school government, to develop' good citizenship, to stimulate student activity, and to promote the general welfare of Roosevelt High School -these purposes as set forth in the constitution of the Roosevelt High School Student Council, serve to direct this assembly in its guidance of the activities of all students. The membership of this governing body is composed of representatives duly elected by the students in each advisory group. This representative transmits to the Council the desires of his advisory and promotes action which, in his opinion, will benefit his group and the student body in general. The Mayor, or President of Student Council, is elected by the students from candidates who have been nominated by the school at large. Chairmen of standing committees are similarly elected, and name the members of their respective committees. All other ofhcers are chosen by Council. Under the able guidance of its sponsor, Miss Ewers, the Student Council operates smoothly and efhciently. To gain a greater insight into the problems and function of other student governments, delegates attend meetings of the City-Wide Student Council, which is composed of representatives from all St. Louis Public High School student aSSCI1'1lJliCS. BOB WIESELTHIER One Hundred Six VICTORY GARDEN CLUB Moderator: Miss Helen C. Whitelaw OFFICERS September, I943, to January, l944 President: George Millinger Vice-President: Bob Easterday Secretary: Marvin Mueller Treasurer: Richard Newman The chief purpose of the Victory Garden Club! is to aid the war effort by: first, stimulating interest in gardening, second, instructing the members how to produce food in their back yards or in vacant lots. Stimulating the natural love for growing things and directing it so that a useful and wholesome hobby may be established is also an aim. Furthermore, the club plans to perform some service to the school at various times as it did last year by buying and distributing seed. Speakers may be available for this purpose in the future. V The programs are very practical ones. In the late winter and early spring, there are discussions on preparation of the ground, making of seed beds, selecting and planting of seed, irrigating, cultivation, spraying, and other garden projects. ln the fall, the care of the garden for winter and spring is taken up. Insect pests and their destruction are also discussed. Birds, too, contribute a most important subject for study in winter programs. The materials- used are newspaper clippings, agricultural bulletins, garden encyclopedias, magazines and practical experiences such as failures and suc- cesses in our own Victory Gardens. Motion pictures, also, are used. One Hundred Seven VISUAL EDUCATION The organization of motion picture machine operators at Roosevelt is no longer in the formative stage, but is truly an efficient and very important part of the system of teaching. The amount of work handled during the past year has doubled, but the operators carry on as ever, due largely to the very efficient direction and organization of Miss Cutter. The visual education group has been cooperating with the war effort by showing many of the government films to the various. classes. It has also cooperated with the educational museum in reviewing films to determine whether or not they' are worth buying for the museum's film library. ln addition to the programs regularly presented to classes, the group handled the showing of films to the weekly assemblies of Freshmen. There have also been showings before and after school for the students in general. On Thursday, March 25, the group presented a paid admission show after school in the auditorium. The program consisted of The Magic Bean , a comedyg Usports- Spellbindersug and Melody for Three , a Dr. Christian film. The response was gratifying, and all Who attended enjoyed the pictures. One Hundred Eight fx- r THEY HELP UNCLE SAM SELL WAR STAMPS AND BONDS Have you ever peeked into the Bank Office in Room 3I7? Did you ever notice students in there Working like beavers? Well, that's the War Stamp and Bond Staff, an important organization at Roosevelt. These glorious Mgremlinsn give all their spare time to help Uncle Sam. The director, Mr. Forsman, carefully supervises their Work. And . . . We do mean work! Tuesday starts the week with a bang! Stamp envelopes are carefully checked to detect any possible mistakes. Plenty of them? You said it! Running down errors in stamp and bond orders, counting out the stamps, keeping the records, trips to the bank, and delivering the stamps and bonds round out the week's work of this efficient organization. Here they are: Lois Arkebaur, Mildred Bartosz, Norma Basse, Antoinette Berta, Patricia Cronin, Robert Gessert, Henry Giesenbier, Bob Hall, Dolores Hawkins, Donald Katt, Edna Kelly, Elsie Kelly, Stanley Kolaski, Rose Marie Pollman, Raymond Samuels, Rosemarie Temmen, Otto Thiele, Lola Wallis, and Bob Wiesielthier. One Hundred Nine One Hundred Ten 'nn One Hundred Eleven THE COACHING STAFF The coaching staff has undergone many changes since the -past season. However, the staff composed of veterans in each field of athletics is capfably guiding and instructing the respective teams. The transfer of Mr. Castleman has necessitated the selection of a new track coach. Mr. Clay Van Reen, an experienced trackman, has been ap- pointed. Mr. Kuntz will continue as midget instructor. Mr. Chauncy l..inhart has succeeded Coach Meinhart as swimming coach since Mr. Meinhart has been commissioned a Lieutenant GJ in the U. S. Navy. The Rough Rider football squad will be coached, as in the past, by Otto Rost, himself a brilliant gridiron star. Coach Rost will be aided by Mr. Van Reen. The B team is under the guidance of Mr. Kuntz. The basketball team will also be coached by Coach Rost, assisted by Coach Van Reen of the B squad. As in the past, baseball is now coached by Mr. Lee Carlsong Mr. Walther Lorenzen will continue his duties as tennis coach: and golf will be under the direction of Mr. Hochmeister. Mr. Neeb, known to Roosevelt as the General , remains head of the Athletic Department. Under the able guidance of so excellent a coaching staff, Roosevelt cannot fail to remain tops in the field of athletics. BOB WIESELTHIER One Hundred Twelve . '-iffy! if Vgsfir r,.7 b V 1 A 2, faeyfgfly e,.f:,ejff LwSWfIMMINg'Q jf' ' if ' fThe Rough Rider swimming squad, under its new coach, Mr. Nleinhardt, - wound up a successful season on Saturday, February 27, at Wilson Pool by . bringing home to Roosevelt the Missouri State Swimming Championship. The Rider padcllers reversed their field this year by winning the State Championship and coming in second in the Public High Swim Meet. The Rooseveltians lost the Public High title by a two-point margin to Soldan. They won the State Championship by a one-point margin, making 24 points, nosing out Principia and Cleveland, and tied for second place with 23 points. Coach Meinhardt comes in for very great praise for his hard work in bringing to Roosevelt trophies for the winning of the State Championship, for winning all of the Public High School dual meets, and for winning the Washington Relays earlier in the season. One Hundred Thirteen f., 1 If if 1 f We also wish all the luck in the world to Captain Bill Moehlenbreck, of the '44 squad, as well as to Bob Carroll, Lew Turner, Jack Nolte, Bob Kraehe, Bob Maurer, Fred Potthoff, John Cavanaugh, Don Fleming, Don Traub, and Bill Kleyboecker, all swimmers who will return next year to bring additional honors to Roosevelt. Congratulations to the following fellows, all of whom won their swim- ming R's this season: Bill Moehlenbrock, Lew Turner, Bob Carroll, Rial Rolfe, Hank Grich, Bob Maurer, Howard Hartman, Bob Kraehe, John Cava- naugh, Fred Potthoff, Don Fleming, and Manager Bill Rice.

SWIMMING TEAM This year we are fortunate in having Mr. Linhart coaching the swimming team. Mr. Linhart came to Roosevelt to replace Mr. Meinhardt, last year's swimming coach. The boys have been training for the Washington Relay, which is to take place some time this term. Workouts are given to the boys according to their age, term, and physical condition. The workouts are increased as the boy advances, and proficiency is purely a matter of endurance and speed. Contrary to their belief, Freshmen boys are wanted for the swimming team: they are encouraged to try out for it. Mr. Linhart believes in training the boys early. The earlier they start, the better swimmers they make, says the coach. Boys do not 'burn out,' but, like good professional swimmers, only grow stronger and more capable with practice. Mr. Linhart favors having a Freshman Team: however, no definite plans have been made for this. He wants as many boys as the pool can accommodate. Mr. Linhart compared the swimming team with the track team. l was surprised at the comparison, never stopping to think how similar they actually are. The swimming team holds long distance runs the same as the track team does. Likewise, there are Hendurance tests, and relays . The work- outs and activities are very similar. The most troublesome factor to be encountered seems to be that many of the boys Work after school and cannot attend all the practices. Private pools, however, afford excellent opportunity for practice at night and other times when the boys may not be working. With help from the Rough Riders, we have a possibility of winning the various championships in which we are to compete. ROBERT EAST One Hundred Fourteen v , BASEBALL, 1943 'ia e As the baseball season rolled into view, Coach Carlson found himself Qt confronted with the enormous task of building a team with only two returning Vx! ft!! lettermen as a nucleus. rriglf' The first league game was played with Central, and resulted in a 4-3' ,L victory for the Roosevelt Rough Riders.

The coach and the team deserve credit for their efforts to Win, even when the odds were against them. Om, Hundred F,-ffm, GIRLS' ATHLETICS Games are almost as ancient as mankind. The games We play are mere variations of, and additions to, the ancient ones. The Greeks of early times believed that athletics played a necessary part in human life, so they had games and contests centering about the common activities of running and throwing. The natives of India played a game called Poona. ln lS70, some English army qfficers saw this game played with bats and a kind of shuttle. They tried it out and brought the game back to England where it was introduced as Badminton Volley-ball and basketball are modern sports. Dr. James Naismith, an instructor in the Springfield, Massachusetts, invented basketball in l89l, starting, with his peach basket and soccer ball, a game which today has spread all over the country. Four years later a colleague of Dr. Naismith, William G. Morgan, began looking for a game less strenuous than basketball which would include more people playing on a single area. With tennis as a basis for this new game, he used a rubber basketball bladder for a ball, substituted the hands for a tennis racket, and raised the net. As the name implies it is a game of volleying. Volley-ball appeals to people of all ages and has become popular all over this country and in Europe. These games together with tennis, softball, ping'-pong, and shuffleboard are offered after school to the girls of Roosevelt. Soccer, speedball, and hockey are played on the campus during gym periods. Games benefit one's personality. They improve one's posture, they make one feel better and look better, and, above all, they afford fun and exercise. An insufficient number of girls are taking advantage of this marvel- ous opportunity though sports are offered to girls of all terms. So come on, girls! Let's get in the play! GIRLS' VOLLEY-BALL Volley-ball is one of the most popular sports for girls here at Roosevelt. Perhaps the main appeal lies in its simplicity. It is especially suitable for the player of average ability, and no one needs to be timid about taking part. Volley-ball is a team game. Therefore there are no champions, no big names, no stars, no All Americans. Perhaps this is not such a catastrophe. The girls come out to have a good time, enjoy an exciting game and actually derive some benefit from it, too. The game is excellent for teaching quickness, foot-work, and body control. Volley-ball is an American adaptation of an Italian game that originated in the Romantic countries, but from the delighted whoops coming from the Girls' Gym, on Tuesday afternoons, anyone can plainly see that Roosevelt girls have adopted volley-ball to stay. You see volley-ball isn't really a fashionable game at allg it's just a sport for girls to enjoy. It is good for the spectator, too, since he can sit close to the small court and keep the ball in constant view. Yet it is difficult for a spectator to watch the activity very long without feeling a strong impulse to pull off his coat and join the players. One Hundred Sixteen Track Queen DOROTHY KNUDSEN One Hundred Seventeen One Hundred Eighteen W 5 xlllxlv x W TRACK SQUAD A gala occasion was the l943 annual field and track meet, when all Roosevelt was at fever pitch. It was an impressive sight to see a large section of the stands bedeckecl in the good old school colors, crimson and white. Nobody doubted that the boys of the track team did their best to bring the championship back to Roosevelt, but in the face of determined opposition they were able to score only 92 points to Beaumonfs USM and South- west's 75 I-lershel Lester, junior 50-yard dash, and Larry Stewart, senior pole vault, brought in the only two first places to Roosevelt. Point-winning seniors were: Richard Ault, captain, Pat Burke, Larry Stewart, Arnold Wychel, Wendell, Winderman, Kruse, Tysdale, and Stricker. Juniorswere: Wickers, Lewis, Lester, Appelbaum, West, captain, Becker, and Kellough. One Hundred Nineteen One Hundred Twenty The midgets who scored were Captain Odenwald, Wilson, and Schmitz. The school wishes to thank Mr. Castleman, Mr. Meinhardt, and Mr. Kuntz for their splendid coaching. All the Roseveltians, though disappointed with defeats, saw one of the finest competitive meets and next year we will be there again fighting for the championship.

While the school band is playing a lively air, the boys and girls listen attentively but restlessly, for the big moment is about to arrive. Now a hushed silence steals over the eager audience. Six trumpeters announce the coming of her Majesty the Queen and the Maids of l-lonor. The air is tense as eyes turn toward the door of the auditorium. One by one the maids of honor take their honorable places on the stage-Lois Ballard, Gloria Cunningham, Betty Christman, Rosemary Eisenmenger, and Corinne King. Now the great moment has come. After waiting for what seems like an eternity, we see Dorothy Knudsen come forth in the traditional crimson robe and sparkling crown as our Track Queen for I943 and escorted to her throne by Mayor Moxley. All the beauteous. maidens do the school proud . Rousing cheers are given for our retiring queen, Betty l-lampe, and for the reigning queen, Dorothy Knudsen. Coaches Kuntz, Meinhardt, and Castle- man spoke to the throng of enthusiastic Rooseveltians. recounting our chances in the meet, when the captains of the various- teams, discussed briefly their teamis talents and prospects. Before closing the ceremony, Mr. Hill gave us a word of caution about going out to the meet. As a closing number, we sang our Alma Mater , which always gives us a strange, choked-up feeling. Even though We knew we might not win first place this year, we still had that same enthusiastic school spirit that has always made us proud to be called Rooseveltians. .

The boys and girls, wearing the traditional White and flaming crimson, presented a striking appearance from the Held and lent much encouragement to the team. The cheerleaders with their boundless energy and vigor stirred the Riders to hope, and urged the team on towards success. The atmosphere was tense with excitement and thrills came every minute. Although our team did not taste the glory of victory, the boys proved to be the best of good losers. In years to come, 'we Rooseveltians will look back and recall with misty eyes. the rousing spirit and pep displayed at our annual track meets. MARY ANN MILLER One Hundred Twenty-Iwo M W tk vfp., +C 4 UW' ,wefgfyt i M, N FOOTBALL The Rough Riders of Roosevelt started out their I943 Pigskin Parade in a sad manner. We lost our first game of the season, against the Beaumont Bluejackets, by a score of 26-0. However, the team showed their usual sparkle and vim in our second game, against Southwest, in which the Riders played sterling football against a supposedly superior foe. After a long, gruel- ing game the dust on the field settled, disclosing a scoreless tie. Unfortu- nately, the Riders lost their third game against McKinley by a scoreiof 7-6, a defeat which the fans found hard to take. The second half of the Rough Riders' league schedule proved brighter, however, for in the game with Central we emerged victorious with a score of I9-0. ln this contest the Riders displayed a powerful ground attack and a good assortment of passes as they ripped through the game outmanning the Central eleven- Morale was high among the team, for they repeated their performance a week later and trounced Soldan l3-0, a defeat which was a mild upset, as the Tigers were supposed to be the better team. By this time the Crimson Tide had become invincible, and we easily took Cleve- land, our long standing rival, by a score of I8-0. This game was without a doubt the most important of the season. One Hundred Twenly-three The coaches are to be congratulated for their hard work and sincere effort in developing our boys into the well organized machine they have proved themselves to be. The following boys received their football RH: George Geers, Captain: Jack Richardson, Bill Beck, Bill Speitel, Richard Ault, Carl Inman, Floyd Hartwig, Fred Eccher, Milo Mracek, Frank Hummel, Bob Karmi, Les. Higginbotham, Bob Piros, Norman Ullrich, Les Medley, Ed Hoffmeister, Harold Hopper, Paul Graham, and Dick Schuessler' , :,'A X .,,,1 FOOTBALL CB TEAMJ Moderator: Mr. Kuntz B football at Roosevelt High School operates much the same as does the Ufarm system in organized professional baseball. It is thought that boys might be taught some of the fundamentals of football, such as blocking and tackling, systems of offense and defense, passing and kicking, signal calling, and rules. Games have been scheduled with like teams of other public and church high schools. Over and above these aims or purposes is the idea of giving boys an opportunity to practice clean sportsmanship, to build strong bodies, thus ensuring physical fitness, and to engage in a worth while use of leisure. 1 .f A l'-Q X N f One Hundred Twenty-four i One' Hundred Twenty-Hue X 'AX i ,vi-, y A . ixtxx BASKETBALL 1 943 - 1 944 As the dull thud of footballs bouncing on the campus. subsided, Coach Rost and his boys moved indodrs to start the basketball season. Norman Ullrich, returning with two years' experience, and Eddie Hoffmeister are the only two regulars. who will be back in uniform again this year. Ace Stricker and Bill Griffith have joined the Navy, and Hank Monroe was lost to the Army. The boys Were trained intensively in set-ups, set shots, and pop shots. Scrimmage followed warm-ups: and teams chosen by Coach Rost competed against eachgother. 'The team that finally looked best to Coach Rost com- prised: Norman Ullrich, captain and centerg Don Taylor, Paul Graham, and Bol5f?iKeller, forwardsg and Eddie I-loffmeister and Dick Schuessler, guards. Substitutes: lllifledley, I-Iammermeister, Fleddermann, and Beck. One Hundred Twenty-six 'L The first opponent to meet Roosevelt was Cleveland, which had been practicing since theibeginning of the term. All of the Roosevelt basketball players were also football players. We, therefore, were handicapped ip that We had had only a week and a half practice prior to the Cleveland qme. The results were: Cleveland 35-Roosevelt l2. Ullrich was high man for the Rough Riders, netting six points. ln the next game with St. Louis U. l-ligh, we showed considerable improvement. The score at the end of the first quarter was 9-7, in favor of Roosevelt. At the end of the half St. Louis had overtaken us, and they led by a very narrow margin. Up to this point it was anybody's game, but the Rider defense bogged down in the last half, enabling St. Louis to surge ahead. Roosevelt garnered a total of I9 points, compared to St. Louis' 45. The prospects for the season are good. The Rough Riders, short of practice, will improve considerably as is shown by their improvement up till now. Although the schedule will be rather difficult, Roosevelt must meet Soldan and Beaumont, last year's champs, in the first games played. We know that they will always be trying their utmost, no matter what the odds. We expect Norman Ullrich to be chosen on an all-city team, and we sincerely hope he makes the grade. We hope to see every Rooseveltian at the games, supporting our team, which we know will do its best. Good luck! Rough Riders.

This year, instead of presenting a popular opera or a well-known play, Miss. I-Iilb of the music department, Miss Schmidt of the dance department, and Miss Grace of the dramatics department produced and directed for the pleasure and enjoy- ment of the student body, as well as of the public, a triple treat called The Three Talesn. This excellent performance consisted of Joseph Jacob's The Three Silliesn, a story in dance, the choreography of which was directed by Miss Schmidt: John Kirkpatriclis The Weatherman's Secret , a play' directed by Miss Grace, and HTrial by Jury , a Gilbert and Sullivan hit, produced by Miss Hilb. A synopsis of each of the program attractions follows. The Three Srilliesnz Once upon a time there were a farmer and his wife who had one daughter, and she was courted by a young gentleman. Every evening he would come to see her, and stop for supper at the farm- house. The daughter on these occasions would be sent down into the cellar to draw ale. One evening, when she went down into the cellar to draw some ale, she saw a mallet stuck in one of the beams. She began to cry, thinking that some day she might have a son, and that he would come down into this very cellar to draw some ale, and would be struck dead by the mallet. She stayed down there in the cellar so long that after a time her mother and father came down to see what was keeping her. When she told them her story, they, too, fell to crying. Then the young suitor came clown One Hundred Thirty into the cellar to see what the trouble was. When the three told him their story, he pulled the mallet from the beam and told them that he was going to leaveg if, however, he should ever find any other people who were bigger sillies than they were, he would return and marry their daughter. Whereupon he set out on his journey, and having met a woman who was trying to get her cow on top of her cottage so that she could eat the grass from the roof, a man at-an inn who could only get into his trousers by jumping into them, and a group! of peasants who were trying to get the moon out of a lake with a pitchfork, he returned home and married the farmer's daughter, and they lived happily ever after.

Kate, the weatherman's secretary, in an attempt to conceal the weatherman'st identity, tries to restrain them. Her efforts, however, are practically futile. As the play draws to an end, and the suspense of the audience concerning the weatherman is finally relieved, the weatherman turns out to be the weather- man's wife who thought that it would be fun taking over and running her husbands job, but who finally confessed to him in a telephone conversation that she had made a complete mess of it. The entire play takes place in the Office of the Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C.

Although the number of girls participating this year did in no way compare with the attendance at former times, this was probably the most thoroughly enjoyed Sports. Day in Roosevelt's history. One reason for the small attendance was undoubtedly the fact that the events did not begin until shortly' after three o'clock, and no one was excused from afternoon classes, although an excuse was customary in previous years. Some of the girls played baseball on the field, others took over the tennis courts for both tennis and volley-ball, while still others enjoyed badminton in the girls' gym. There were in all about eighty girls taking part. Miss Varian, with the able assistance of the other gym teachers, successfully planned and carried out this event. For days in advance girls of every term anxiously discussed the possi- bilities of rain or unseasonable temperatures, but the Weather man, sensing the importance of this occasion, supplied an ideal day. After a pleasant but strenuous afternoon, the girls, as usual, trooped onto the tennis courts and thoroughly enjoyed their fudgecicles. One of the impromptu events was the contribution, by the girls, of a new jumping rope to be used by the various gym classes. ROSEMARY EISENMENGER MARY ALICE MINNEY JANE.

' EUNICE MALKE RUTH SARTORIUS JEAN WHITEHOUSE THE JOLLY LETTERS YOU WILL WRITE SOME DAY Someday, when the time permits, you'll write all those letters you've been answering in your mind lately. Let's see, you must write first to Tom. He is a nice friend. You knew him in New York, but haven't seen him for three years now. Tom will want to know all the funny experiences and good times you've had these past months. You'll have to think up a few jokes, too, for Tom's a great one for a good joke, he has such a hearty laugh! l-le is one person who can obtain much enjoyment out of life with very little effort. Then Mary, your friend in Ohio, deserves an answer next. Nothing non- sensical or silly should be written to her. She likes straightforward facts and statements. She leads a busy, systematic life, works, and attends college at the same time, and still replies to your letter in no time at all. Well, maybe you'll be like that someday, too. Maybe! You can't forget jane or June, the twins, in Illinois either. Well, you can write just one letter to themg you can't tell them apart anyway. Oh, and you musn't forget old Mrs. Newstead, the lovable, old lady who was always so kind to you back in Pennsylvania. Yes, you'll have to write those letters soon, but you're going to move in the near future to another state. There you can catch up on all your letters, and, of course, answer the letters your friends living here will write to you then. Yes, sir, as soon as you've settled in the new house, you'll answer all those dear letters. Yes, sir, just as soon as you're settled! HELEN BURROWS One Hundred Forty-two One Hundred Forty-three FACULTY CHANGES Each term Roosevelt loses a few faculty members, and gains a few new ones.

MARY ANN MILLER MARjORIE. GRIESBAUM .':':':l :l ..- LOUISE CRECELIUS Xi' 0 J., 2 1. x ON ANSWERING THE TELEPHONE Brrr-ring! Telephone, Wilma Lou! My dinner is hot and ready to be eaten, or perhaps my iron is just hot enough to use, or l am deeply engrossed in a book or-my homework when the inevitable happens-the telephone rings, and, as it is usually a call for me, l am the one who always- has to answer it. l think it would be wonderful if everyone were a master of mental telepa- thy, then, instead of having to answer the telephone, ideas and plans would just pop into his brain. Such an arrangement would certainly save me from dinners that are too cold and electric irons that are too hot. Now someone may suggest that l just let the telephone ring, so that the person on the other end will think that l am not at home, but to me this is quite an impossible suggestion. There is something about the ring of a tele- phone that arouses the curiosity. An unanswered telephone always leads me to wondering what pleasure, news, or tragedy was waiting at the other end of the wire, and l usually call all of my friends to try to find the source of the call. Certainly someone, someday, will help to save curious people like me from having to go through this process by inventing a telephone that won't have to be answered or one that will automatically record the number of the person who calls. WILMA DEE5 One Hundred Forty-Hue BILL l am jolted from my reverie by the slamming of a door, followed by the patter of unumber fours clattering down the hall. Before I can collect my thoughts and analyze the situation, seventy pounds of lively boy flop into my lap, and a low, rasping voice coming from deep in the throat fsupposedly an imitation of Jimmy Durantej, greets me with, Hello there, Junior! This is my brother! Prying him off my lap and settling myself in another chair, l lean back to observe him. I see a sandy-haired, freckle-faced boy with glasses sitting crookedly on his nose fmother has been after him for days to get them straightened but he never has had them acljustedf. I-le's four feet, five inches tall with long lanky legs dangling from beneath his rolled-up jeans. Quite an ordinary looking chap, not handsome, but with an incomparable personality. l'Ve never known anyone quite like him. His most outstanding characteristics seem to be conceit, non-dependability, and aggressiveness to which l might add personality and mischieviousness. Few understand him as l clo. He believes in repenting at leisure, but never seems to have the leisure at which to repent. ln group activities he must have a prominent position, or else none at all. Ever since l can remember, he has insisted on playing the leading part in school plays, and this year he has even written, pro- duced, and directed a Halloween play for the others in his class. You may think that he loses all of his friends in this way, but he doesn't because to tell the truth, much of the time he is the only one capable of filling various positions, and the others look to him for leadership. I-le has a sharp wit fsome say it's half-witf and can pull a gag on almost everything you say. He is constantly imitating somebody or some- thing. Fancying he can sing, he frequently chooses a famous baritone such as Nelson Eddy as the subject of his mimicry and gives out with such songs as Stout Hearted lVlen or his personal arrangement of an operatic air in a forced bass voice. On the other hand, he sings a lovely soprano in the church choir. As an example of his humor, I would like to repeat one of his favorite original skits. Taking the part of an old man he leans on a cane and reminisces after this fashion. 'Tm getting very old now, old girl. In my youth, I was something of a villain. With this cane I brought sadness to the hearts of thousands of little children. I used to pull the Scoota-Boats in out at the Highlands! Maybe l'm Wrong. Maybe to you all of this doesn't seem in the least out of the ordinary, but after all, he's not your ten-year-old brother.

Well, that's just what was heard at the opening of the New Jay Party on Friday, October 29. This song was followed by a short selection from the band, under' the direction of Mr. l-lahnel, There's a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Some- where. Every party should have a master of ceremonies. The master of the New Jay Party was Bill Barclay, who officially welcomed all the pupils of Term One at Roosevelt. After that, Mr. Gammeter, our Assistant Principal, spoke just a few words, because Hthis is the day for the New Jays. Following this, the astonished upper termers heard two loud cheers Cwe must say very loud cheersj, which were yelled by the New Jays. Our baton twirler and drum majorette, Mary Della Berger, executed a routine which caused quite a disturbance among a few of the pupils in term one. Would a party be a party if there weren't any questions asked? Well, Bill Barclay questioned sixteen pupils, one from each of the New Jay ad- visories. Can you imitate animals? Do you know how many seats there are in the aud? Do you know where the swimming pool is located? Do you know who 'Bwana' and 'Rough Rider' officers are? What does 'Bwana' mean? These were just a few of the questions fired at those poor, little, defenseless New Jays. Consequently, the New Jays did everything- from imitating animals to selling popcorn and soda pop when they really had nothing to sell. For all their hard Work the contestants received delicious candy favors. What could be a better reward for those sixteen suffering New Jays? CThat's the sixty-four dollar questionj After the questioning, the stage was cleared for dancing and the party increased in merriment and fun. Thus ended the gala New Jay Party for the September, 1943, class. Many thanks should be given to the Welfare Committee under the super- vision of Miss Chapman. The committee consists of Rosemary Eisenmenger fchairmanl, Barbara Hampton, Janet Feuerborn, Floyd McKinney, Dewey Overby, and Reynold Stelloh. BARBARA HARRIS RUTH SARTORIUS One Hundred Forty-eight PRESENTATION OF KMOX NEWS MAP Left to right: Miss WilHey of KMOX, Mayor Wieselthier, Mr. Hill, and Mr. Philip Hickey, Superintendent of instruction. Roosevelt is indeed indebted to KMOX, the Saint Louis affiliate of the Columbia Broadcasting System, for its gift of an elaborate bulletin board and newsmap. The board, which was presented to Mr. Hill by Miss WilHey, a representative of the educational department of the Saint Louis KMOX studios, is designed primarily to enable the students to keep abreast of world events. The Victory Quiz Team of Roosevelt will keep the news map up to date, posting a summary of current news items, and designating the locale of immediate interest. SCHOOL OF THE AIR ROUND TABLE Moderator: Miss O. Solfronk On October I5, I943, five Rooseveltians-Richard Killough, Robert Krieg, Narice Lloyd, Martha Ryder, and Don Sparks-opened the series of round table discussions on Columbia Broadcasting System's School of the Air of the Americas, with an analysisf of the problem, Uniting the United Nations. The KMOX Educational Director, Miss Rosamund WilHey, praised the Roosevelt group! highly. Last season our round table topic was The Merchant Marine. In I94I the subject was Taxation These three round table discussions, have been sponsored for KMOX broadcasts by Miss O. Solfronk. One Hundred Forty-nine NOCHROMA LAGOPUSU My mother says Hochroma lagopusn is the causeg my brother agrees with herg my father disagrees with them, and as for me-well--l am having a terrible time with Mother and Hochroma lagopusn. It is like having a mother who doesn't love you. l have been trying to convince her that my point of view is at least partially right, but it seems my attempts are in vain. I agree on all of her points except the one about uochroma lagopusn. What is troubling you, clear reader? You look puzzled. Have you a question? What! You do not know what Hochroma lagopus-H is? Oh, that is right, you are not a modeler. Well, as l was remarking, some of lVlother's views are justified, but not all of them. I agree that streaks of colored paint on the kitchen table-cloth do not add to the apgpjgqfanf of the kitchen. Also, I admit that exhaust gases from my enginehdomot exactly perfume the house and that the odor of gasoline in the basement isn't pleasant to breathe, but these points, on which l agree, are small, the big problem is uochroma lagopusu. l know, dear reader, that you do not know what it is, but be patientg l shall tell you in due time. Recently, Mother put it Hatly. Victor, she said, Victor, do you hear me? Get rid of that trash fshe always calls my planes and 'ochroma lagopus' trashl or I'll throw you out with it. As yet, she hasn't, because Father is my ally. She complains that everywhere she turns there it is: under the bed, in the dresser drawers, on the kitchen table, under the stove, on 'the refrigerator, and in her hair. Almost every day she warns me not to go into the living room while working with it. Mother just doesn't like Uochroma lagopusn, but to me it is indispensable. The enjoyment l have from working with it is indescribable. It is wonderful, and when l get hungry l chew' it, O: F: 0 FY' er-3.

Prom 7:30 until 8:30 P. M., the pupils conducted their parents about the building and introduced them to their teachers and advisors. Exhibits were displayed in the halls and in the classrooms. The exhibits displayed were: First Aid Mechanical drawing Knitting Art exhibit Typing demonstration Problems of home living Trustee's office Model airplanes Shops Swimming pool demonstration Food and nutrition Exhibition of clothing made in sewing Feeding rats in nutrition classes experiment These exhibits, all very interesting, appealed particularly to the parents. ln the first floor corridor was a Red Cross Display under the sponsorship of Miss Varian and Miss l-laeseler together with members of the Red Cross classes.. They demonstrated the various types of bandages and ways of applying them, using dolls as models-. There were displayed, also, splints, and other Hrst aid devices. Another display which claimed much attention was the movie projector. A bell sounded at 8:45 calling the parents and other guests to the audi- torium for a typical school aud. session. Our orchestra, under the direction of Mr. l-lahnel, played the Star-Spangled Banner while everyone sang it. Mr. Hill, the Principal of Roosevelt I-Iigh School, extended a welcome to the audience and explained why we, have Open l-louse and Education Week . An invitation was then given by Mrs. Altman, President of Roosevelt P. T. A., to all parents to join the Parent-Teachers Association which meets every fourth Friday at our school. The A'Cappella choirs, under Miss l-lilb's capable direction, offered some fine musical selections by singing Onward Christian Soldiers, As Sinks Beneath the Ocean, This is My Country, and ln My Arms. The Spanish Club, whose moderator is Miss Comfort, presented a novel sketch on our Latin American neighbors. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all especially since the participants wore beautiful, colorful costumes of the countries depicted. The orchestra played, very creditably, Knights Bridge, and selections from Spring Maid. Then followed the speaker of the evening, Dr. Rudolph Hofmeister, member of the Board of Education. At the conclusion of his speech, Martha Ryder, a member of the Girls' Drill Corps, explained the corps' purpose and introduced the boys and girls of the Drill Corps who gave a demonstration of their Work. The program was concluded by the orchestra's playing, at sight, Night Life, thus bringing to a fitting close Roosevelt's Open l-louse of I943. One Hundred Fifty-two DEBATING Coaches: Mr. Schmale and Mr. Snider Debating is under the auspices of the St. Louis High School Debating League which functions as a subdivision of the Missouri State Debating League. The season this year extends from November 30, 1943, to February l9, l944. Debates are held at the various schools immediately after school hours, and last about an hour each. The season closes with an all-day debate tournament at McBride High School, Saturday, February l9, 1944, in which the suburban high schools, as Well as those of the city, participate.

The chairman gazed expectantly at the assembled representatives who dutifully stared back with scowls of deepest concentration. The slow, dignified tones of the clock high on the wall drew my attention. Fifteen minutes until lunch. Oh, well, might as well check on my notes. What a mess! l-lope l can decipher them by tomorrow. These thoughts ran through my head as l unobtrusively tried to unhook my fingers from around a pencil fwith only moderate success, l might addy. Suddenly, a creaking noise disturbed my meditations and a voice called, lVlr. Chairman. fSubsequent events have led me to believe that that creaking noise was caused by a coffin lid being slowly pushed open although at the time l attributed it to an entirely different causej Mr, Chairman, I move that a committee be appointed to look into the possibility of joint-seating in the lunchroomf' With as little fanfare as that, our pet specter left his resting place and began his. annual visit to us, the duly-elected and appointed representatives of our fellow Rooseveltians. A ripple of tolerant amusement ran through our ranks, and the ennui that had been slowly descending on us beat a hasty retreat. Friend Specter's appearance caused interesting speculations in the minds of some of our leading citizens. He had been buried with appropriate solemnity several times, but the internment was never permanent. Perhaps something could yet be done to save him from another such ceremony. With amazement l watched various forces rally to his aid. Arguments flew back and forth with the swiftness- of a rapier in the hand of a master swordsman. The iron bar dividing the lunchroom could be contributed to the scrap drive. Patriotism had joined in the fray. Finally, hostilities ceased and a vote was called for. ' Anxiously our Specter hovered in our midsts as we made our decision. The motion passed!

Besides sweeping the halls, picking up papers on the campus, washing windows, polishing the brass on the doors, washing blackboarcls, marking the athletic field, Washing the furniture, cleaning out the swimming pool and shower-rooms, unlocking lockers for forgetful students, cutting grass in summer, shoveling snow in winter, and changing burned-out light bulbs, our custodians take care of the auditorium for graduation and operettas. These men do not stop' with their regular dutiesg for instance, two years ago Henry High, one of our ground Hoor custodians, constructed a field marker out of junk parts, thus saving the school the price of a new one. LAWRENCE MATRECI One Hundred Fifty-five AN ONLY CHILD An only child is a lonely child, the apple of her mother's eye. She is mother's darling and must do as mother says. First come piano lessons-, each and every day. But what good are piano lessons if there's no one about her own age to whom she can play? Webster says, To be lonely is to be sad from want of companionship and sympathy. How true this is with an only child! She may have the thrill of buying a hundred dresses, but will always miss the greater thrill of 'ishowing them off to a sister or brother. I-ler room is her own: there are no interruptions in the course of getting ready to go out or going to bed. Then, too, there is no older sister of whom she could ask advice on how to arrange her hair, or what dress would be most suitable to Wear on a certain occasion. There is no brother Bill to bring a gang of fellows home, or a little nuisance by the name of Jimmy to use her special flower vase as the home of his newly-acquired tadpoles, or a little sister called Mary, forever and ever to ask 'iWhy? All alone, she spends her time, there is no one to get in her way or make her cross, and no one to bring laughter and joy into her heart. She lives, just one con- tinuous, lonely life, each day the same. Mother is always near to render any help, but Mother cannot always H11 the place of the scampering, joyful brother and sister lot. Yes, truly, an only child, is a lonely child. HELEN BURROWS N OSES The nose is a common thing. Everyone has one. Of course, each is of different shape: there are long noses, Hat noses, pug noses, crooked noses, but the fact remains- that everyone has a nose. Can you picture a person without a nose? l can't. I can imagine a person without an arm, or a leg, perhaps a person without an ear or an eye, but a person without a nose, no! Think of the inconvenience of being without a nose. Youid miss all the smells in life: a campfire, smoke, trees, green grass, country air, flowers, fresh paint, a steak broiling in the pan, roasting chestnuts, and biscuits fresh from the oven and-oh, so many more! Why, half the joy of living would be gone, and just because you were without a nose. But that's not the only way you would be inconvenienced. How would a girl get away from her boring escort? What excuse would she use if she couldn't say, Pardon me, please, my nose needs to be powdered? I-low could a boy get a bloody nose if he didn't have a nose to get bloody? How would people keep their pinch glasses on if they didn't have noses? lt's a good thing God gave each of us a nose. What would we ever do Without it? MARY JANE l..aRU5SA One Hundred Fifty-six 'za One Hundred Fifty-seven BWAN A CALENDAR September 7: Get in that supply of midnight oil and tune up that think- ing machine! Here come those books again! Yes, it's the first day of school, the fateful morning that marks the end of our I943 vacation and the begin- ning of another long year of school. But don't get us wrong, we love Roosevelt! Many of us wishing to be very patriotic, try to change our C cards for A cards, but the O. P. A. fO'fficers of Program Adjustments, decides differ- ently. They do not appreciate that type of patriotism. September 8: New Jays register and sign up for classes. There seem to be more of them each term. Oh, bliss !-butter checks-elevator passes- sold right here! All you want! September 9: Classes start! More fun! Same old friendsg new teachers. All the comforts of school. Hurrah! Street car passes go on sale for the first time this term--fifty cents gone, but well invested. September !0: Today one of the teachers said, From now on you buckle clown. Homework is beginning to pile up. September !3: The start of the second week of school-only I9 more weeks till?- Pass or Fail -Optimistic, eh? September l4: Stamps and Bonds are sold through the Advisories for the first time this term. Our goal this term is an ambulance plane and ua flock of jeeps. Let's hope we can buy these and many more. Girls who are interested in bowling this term meet in Room 302 for the purpose of organizing. This term, the girls will bowl on Tuesday. While the girl bowlers are up on the third floor, all the husky boys who love to send that black ball speeding down the alleys meet in Room 202, for the first time. Those few talented Rooseveltians who always say the right thing at the right time meet with Mr. Schmale after school. Don't you know whom l'm talking about? Why the members of our interscholastic debating club. September !5: Roosevelt's natty knitters, who have been purling since Pearl Harbor for the Red Cross organize for this term. Our Knit-Wits deserve much credit for the important work they are doing. Our lordly Seniors, under the able direction of Miss Wolff, meet and elect their officers who will lead them until January 27. Mr. President is. none other than that tall, fast-step-ping track cap-tain, Richard Ault. Something tells me that the class- will really go places, following him, Other officers are Hazel Parker, Vice-President, Violet Margaritis, Secretary: Donald Katt, Treasurer, and Joseph Basta, Sergeant-at-Arms. September !6: Roosevelt's governing body, Student Council, meets for the first time under Mayor Bob Wieselthier. The other officers are Bob Keller, Vice-President: Secretary, Violet Margaritisg and Parliamentarian, Richard Ault. Chairmen of the Six Standing Committees are: Rosemary Eisenmenger, Welfare, Harold Hopper, Athleticsg Richard Mawdsley, Citizenshipg Bill Moehlenbrock, Financeg Don Langeneckert,Socialg and Jack Smylie, Property. One Hundred Fifty-eight Our dear little New Jays meet in the auditorium the first period today to learn more about their new Alma Mater and to be introduced to several of the important people in the school. After the Star-Spangled Banner was sung and the Pledge to the Flag was given by the Freshmen, Mr. Hill introduced the Co-ordinator of Fresh- men Advisory Groups, Mr. Robert Young. Mr. Young then introduced Mr. Gammeter, our assistant Principal, the office force, the head of the lunchroom, and others, including the advisors of the June, l947, class. Mr. Hill spoke again the end of the session explaining the School at War Flag and the High School Victory Corps. September l 7: The election of the editors for Rough Rider this morning during the advisory meeting. Previously, the editors of Rough Rider, 'to- gether with the editors of Bwana, the Mayor, and Chairman of the Standing Committees, had been elected in an aud session, but this year the election is conducted in a new manner. The Rough Rider staff and moderator decided to hold their own election and selected as candidates staff members who contributed the best service last term. The results were that Betty Chipley, writer of the feature articles, and Floyd Hartwig, the former Sports Editor, were elected Editors. Our future Seniors fthe Sevensj hold their election primaries. September l8: Roosevelt opens its football season by playing St. Louis U. High at Walsh Stadium. The score is l9-6 favoring St. Louis U. High. September 20: This week will see many of our clubs organizing for a new and profitable term. Among them are the Chess Club, Girls' Volley- ball and Ping Pong and Badminton, Junior Red Cross, Pep R, Spanish Club, Photoplay Appreciation and the Art Club. The first Bwana meeting of the term is held with its new officers, Donald Katt and Ruth Sartorius presiding. Despite the early hour and Monday morning blues, it looks as if our yearbook is to be published by a fine staff, judging from the large group of students in 328. September 22: The second meeting of the Seniors is held. The first social is discussed and it is voted unanimously that it shall be a dance in the lunchroom. Three committees are appointed by President Ault to take care of fl, Caps and Gownsg Q25 Senior Buttonsg C35 lnvitations. September 23: The Sevens hold their second meeting of the term and elect the following officers for the term: President, Harold Hopper: Vice- President, Bob Kellerg Secretary, Pat Ryang Treasurer, Henry Giesenbierg Sergeant-at-Arms, ,lack Richardson. It is wondeful! It is great! It is fun! What? Why the first aud: Yes! A stirring aud, with Mr. Lorenzen in charge, rousing Rooseveltians to greater purchasing of War Stamps and Bonds. Mr. Hill requests the students that he be given information concerning former Roosevelt Students who are now in the armed forces. He, also, announces our goal for the year in war bonds and stamps-Sl l0,000, the price of an ambulance plane. The program is high-lighted by the Rough Rider band's playing two numbers, the Girls' Drill Corps, giving a fine exhibition of drilling, and the A period and sixth Period Choirs singing. The Mayor, Bob Wieselthier, speaks on the subject One Hundred Iiifty-nine One Hundred Sixty of war bonds and Ensign Louis Neeb, Coach Neeb's son, makes an impressive speech which will be remembered by all hearers. Lovely Emma Jean Adams fClass of June '43J and recently elected Miss St. Louis does a tap routine. The program impressively closes with the singing of our Alma Mater. September 24: Hooray for the New Jays! They're learning fast. An aud session was held today especially for them. Mr. Hall and Mr. Griggs delivered stirring speeches to benefit each freshman as to the school and school spirit. Then came the cheers! They were taught by the cheerleaders and loudly accepted by our freshmen. September 25: The Roosevelt Rough Riders meet the McBride Eleven Saturday night at the Public High Stadium. Our team wins- by a score of 6-0. Their record for the season now stands at one defeat. September 28: The football season has started and the students of Roose- velt are introduced to their football team in a lively pep aud. The program, under the direction of Mr. Neeb, opens with the singing of the Rough Rider Victory Song. Then We all shout with lusty cheers, hoping that by doing so, we might prove to our boys that we're rooting for them-win or lose. Mr. Hill, Coaches Rost, Van Reen, and Kuntz tell the students about this year's team and the bargain season passes. The team's captain, George Geers, urges all Rooseveltians to appear at the games and cheer the boys to Victory. Short talks are also given by Richard Fults and Ed Hoffmeister, members of the team. Admiral Hahnel suggests that this aud be dedi- cated to Arnold Stricker, former Roosevelt player, and captain of our '43 team, who has since joined the Navy. This suggestion is enthusiastically approved by the assembly and the telegram is sent at once. The aud is concluded with the singing of the Alma Mater by the student body. September 29: lt's here again! The first issue of Roosevelt's hot-off- the-press newspaper, the Rough Rideru comes out today. Did you get yours? This term's editors are Betty Chipley and Floyd Harwig. I wondered why they looked so worried lately! Today the Victory Garden Club and the lce Skating Club hold their meetings and try-outs. for both the Girls' and Boys' Swimming Club was held. September 30: An aud is held for the New Jays at which Mr. Hill, the Editors of Rough Rider, and the chairman of the Finance Committee speak to stimulate the sale of Rough Riders. Former Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. B. G. Shackleford, speaks on the food the body needs, and free copies of the newspaper are given to all of the First Termers. When the Sevens hold their meeting today, several things are discussed, although the meeting is quite short. Graduation pictures are to be handed in to Bwana before November the first, and specifications for the printing of pictures are announced. The Sevens decide to have a separate button for each individual term instead of combining Sevens' and Eights' buttons into one design. The conclusion of the current interscholastic tennis matches at the Jefferson Memorial courts finds the Roosevelt Rough Riders in fourth place. ln the final matches, our team downs Central 3 to l, so throwing Cleveland and One Hundrea' Sixty-one Central into a tie for fifth place. Southwest ends in the number one spot, Blewett takes second, and Beaumont ties with Soldan for third. September 25-29: Seniors sign up for their buttons and select the company from which to order their robes. lt's maroon for the boys and white for the girls, again! September 30: Ding-a-ling, ling, and clang, clang! Bells are ringing loudly and everyone races. out of the building, happy because they will miss out on part of their sixth period. Many newcomers to Roosevelt are startled at the bells' ringing, but they are easily pacified when they are told that the reason for all the commotion is Roosevelt's first fire drill. Teachers and members of the drill corps manage the drill efficiently and all is accomplished in record time. October l: This is the fourth month in which Roosevelt has Won the privilege of flying the School-at-War Flag. Ninety-four per cent of the school Went all-out in the war effort to give us this honor. Letis keep that Hag Hying! Buy War Bonds and Stamps! October 2: The Roosevelt Rough Riders are defeated by Beaumont in their first league game. The final score is Beaumont 26, Roosevelt O. October 5-6: Smile pretty and watch the birdie! Click! That man's here again. lt's time to get out that good sweater fboys, don't forget your tie, because pictures are being taken for Bwana. All the club members present their scrubbed and shining countenances at the front entrance Waiting for their picture to be clicked. Odd sounds are heard, though. Groans of horror as pupils relate how they moved just at the wrong time, or shouts of glee when, after consulting the time schedule, they notice they are to miss fifteen minutes of Latin. One Hundred' Sixty-two October 4: Again a fireman takes the stage. But he's a Captain now- Captain Quinlivan of the St. Louis Fire Department. His jokes are perhaps the same, but his message is all important-fire and its hazards. The cap- tain is one of a hundred or more firemen who visit the public schools today in observance of Fire Prevention Week. Rooseveltians are con- gratulated for their fire prevention measures during the past year, and are encouraged to co-operate to a greater extent in fire safety during this, our third year of war. 0H YI-IAH H mx, Ny. 1 0 40 rr H mm!

October 5: The United States Employment Office, a part of the War Manpower Commission, has requested the school to register all members of the graduating class. The office calls it an employment census, so today, all Seniors filled out forms giving vital statistics, hobbies, and aptitudes lead- ing toward vocations. The Guidance O'H'ice, under the direction of Miss Remnitz, assembles this information which will be used to help fill the present employment needs and the post-war needs.
