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 Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it Htfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream. '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 as a nation, Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: In 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! -Frances Scott Key YMajes tic monarcii oi: tile sicy Tide sign oi? iiope anci triumph iiigiifi We pause to salute you! u X 5 , x 5 1 .

The good times he had at senior meetings with these students will be also called to his mind. 55ENl0R JAN' 1 . +0124 RHS Sixteen JOSEPH CARL WALDNER Student Council, '44 Scholarship R's President of Sevens President of Eights Round Table Discussion, '44 RUTH MARY MANN Pep R, '42, '43, '44, Presidcnt Srudent Council, '44 Vollcy-ball, Captain, '44 rI'C'appella, '44 Vice'Prcsidcnt of Sixes PAUL OTTO HANIMERMEISTER Football.

How clearly we remember that first day of high school, and how well we remember that we longed and hoped for the day we would graduate. fAllow us to inform you that it isn't such a pleasant feeling as it's cracked up to be.D Let us consider our high school career in comparison to a horse-race. We have finished the first three laps and our long awaited goal is clearly in sight. By the time you have received the Bwana you are now reading, we shall he pounding down the home stretch. Our race is almost finished, but during the last stretch is when we really 'ipour on the steam . Have we Sevens any hopes or aims? We'll say we have! We want to do things. We hope to do things for our school, Roosevelt, that have never been equaled. We aim to win the respect of the faculty, students, and every- one else connected with our school. We hope to leave a high mark of achievement that will be hard to equal. Some of our boys and girls are in the armed forces of our country, so they are not here to share our hopes and aims with us. But they, as well as we, also have a purpose in life. Yes, all of us together are going to do things in this old world. Watch our steam! Thirty-four ROBERT LEE WINTERS Sludent Council.

Solfronk, Miss Lancaster After much thought, we have come to the conclusion that everything good about Bwana has already been said in previous editions. Y Ever since the first publication of the Bwana in l925, the moderators, editors, and staff members have worked diligently each year to produce ai year book that will live up- to the expectations of the students. This year is no exception. The work put into the Bwana is done with the same skill that Teddy Roosevelt, for whom the yearbook is named, showed on an expedition in Africa. This year, as before, your Bwana is offered to you not only as entertaining reading material, but also as a book of memories to be opened in the years to come. It is a revival of the past, a re-living of those days very dear to you, and even dearer to those boys and girls on the fighting front. We are proud of the Bwcma, and we know that you feel as we do.

Most of the students do not receive credit, but come only for the pleasure of singing. There are eighty-seven boys and girls in the choir. The A'Cappella Choir is considered by Miss I-Iilb to be the performance group. Besides singing for their own pleasure, they have many interesting activi- ties outside of school. They have had the pleasure of singing at various interesting places, among which is the U. S. O. downtown.

The club is made up of four teams which bowl every Tuesday at a neighborhood bowling alley. This war year the club has managed to survive despite the pinboy short- age. A plan was worked out whereby a bowler would set pins for his own team, alternating each week. Bowling has come a long way since the twelfth century tenpin games in England. It is the wish of the bowling club that the sport become even more popular. -I Seuemy-Il7ree 1 . ff .4 BOYS' GLEE CLUB Moderator: Miss Hilb OFFICERS President: i Torn Hooss Vice-President: Walter Lanham Secretary: John Cox Treasurer: William Lyles The goal of these thirty-three boys, under the able direction of Miss Birdie Hilb, is to further their scope of music appreciation not only from a classical standpoint, but also in the popular Held. This group's repertoire of the various types of music enables it to participate not only in programs of the religious nature, but in activities calling for gaiety and rousing spirit of good will. Seventy-four Q 1 BRAI-IMS CLASS Moderator: Mr. Eugene Hahnel Johannes Brahms Class was named for Brahms who was born in Ham- burg, Germany, in IS33. He is considered one of the three greatest com- posers. Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms are considered epoch makers, and belong to the school of pure music. ln other words, they are the greatest classicists. The class decided to donate a volume of Brahms 'compositions to the school library. We enjoyed the lessons in music appreciation, especially those records on American music left by preceding classes. Our class has enjoyed many social activities outside of school hours. Some were strenuous and others just a lot of fun. On one occasion preceding a horseback ride, Mr. Hahnel tried to entice us into a hide and seek game, but he fell into two feet of water and we had no game.

Every member strives to attain the highest achievement in concentration, enthusiasm, tone quality, and blend. How- ever, despite the Hne effort on the part of the girls, we could never attain what we consider one of the finest girls' glee clubs in the country without the help and experienced direction of Miss Hilb. It is to be noted that, regardless of the fact that we are all high school students and must compete with adults in girls' choir singing, we sing some of the most difficult music in the women's voices repertoire, including the complicated works of Brahms, Sullivan, Carpenter, Schubert, and Victor Herbert.

Sometimes short plays are given and directed by members at the meetings, and other programs pertaining to the theatre are presented. It is hoped that the club will live up to the prestige and interest enjoyed before. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays in 233. President: Bill Butler Vice-President: Lorraine Iadreschi Secretary: Mary Sparks - Treasurer: Melvin Doernhoefer Sergeant-at-Arms: Q Jim Skiles Librarian: Harriet Kolocotroni Until two years ago there was a very fine Drarnatics Club at our school. For ten years Mask and Buskin had been the organization one joined if interested and talented in the Held of dramatics, and among the names on the roll call were to be found those of many of the best and most popular students that ever attended Roosevelt High. Then, after the fall-winter term of l942, the society was disbanded. The Journal, containing the Con- stitution, minutes of all previous meetings, and membership lists were left with Mr. Biegelsen, who was the last moderator. This term a small group of students interested in reviving the club consulted with Mr. Biegelsen, received the Journal from him, and went to 'work to draw up a petition to present to Mr. Hill. Finding students to sign was no task whatsoever, and when the paper was given to the principal, he heartily endorsed it. The next job was to Hncl a moderator, and Miss Charity Grace seemed the most logical person to ask. She consented to help this term. Several short meetings of the charter members were held, officers were elected, and announcements of the reorganization were made. The first two meetings were partially given over to try-outs for other members, and Roose- velt's Mask and Buskin is functioning again. 1 BILL BUTLER x... 4515 Ninety-one ,,,,,,,,,, g Q . i l i PEPETTE Moderator: Miss Schnaedelbach OFFICERS jan. to June, 1944 Sept., I944, to jan., I945 President: Delores Hawkins Mildred Mueller Junior President: Jackie Ruddle Dorothy Perry Secretary: Peggy Harkness Pat Stacy Treasurer: Elise Snyder Doris Carruthers P . .

' A Each boy or girl in the group devotes one period or more every day to projection. Before a student may join the group, he is required to have good grades, to have a record of reliability, and to serve a probationary period, during which he is trained in the use of the machines by an experi- enced operator. Picture projection has perhaps been most useful to the science, social, home economics, and health departments. During last term, we used 246 films, attended by 981 classes, in 899 projections. We are fortunate in having the use of two sound machines, two silent machines, and a film strip projector. We have one room that is set aside for projection, and a second room that we use frequently. We regret the loss of our big screen in the auditorium by fire, and hope it will soon be replaced. ln the meantime, we are using a smaller screen to good advantage.

We go horseback riding, bowling, and have roller skating parties by way of diversion. 1 Life-long friendships are made, and many old members come back to tell us how much they miss the rehearsals and comradeship of dear old Roosevelt High School Orchestra. 6 , 4 'lip One Hundred One 5 .

The Council is composed of representatives, one from each advisory group, who must be at least a five in term and have certain academic qualifications. These representatives bring the students' problems to the rest of the Council members- for discussion. Proposals for remedying these problems. are voted upon by the Council members. The representative then carries back to his advisory an account of the meeting and its proceedings. The Student Council is presided over by the Mayor of Roosevelt, who is elected by the student body. The business and problems of the school as a whole are taken care of by the Athletic, Social, Finance, Public Relations, Property and Citizenship Committees. The Student Council is under the sponsorship of Miss Ewers. It is an honor for any student to be elected to the organization as his advisory's representative.

At first he studied law and secured a place in the Russian Ministry of Justice, but he soon resigned to study music under Rubenstein at Moscow Conservatory. Later he was elected to be a teacher of harmony at the same school, and still later devoted himself entirely to composition and travel. He composed symphonies, concertos, overtures, quartets and songs. The famous Symphony Pathetiqueu is one of the world's rnost popular compo-A sitions. 1- ffgfgs QD N One Hundred Four 4 V WAR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The War Activities Committee has been in existence since the early days of the war. its chief purposes have been to organize and co-ordinate the various war activities of the pupils within the school. The committee has representatives from the faculty and the student body, and its duties are distributed among both groups. Among the activities which it sponsors are the two drill organizations, the R. A. E. S. for the girls and the Provisional R. O. T. C. for the boys: the work of the Junior Red Crossg the publicity and the keeping of the records for the sale of war stamps and bonds, for the bond sales thermometer, and for the School-at-War Flag: the making of the school Honor Roll of students in the various branches of service. The special auditorium sessions for stimulating bond sales, and the Various display charts and publicity for War activities through posters, bulletins, and the Rough Rider are some of the constant duties of the committee. '.,, 44 Kil t One Hundred Five WAR STAMP AND BOND STAFF Roosevelt High's Bond and Stamp Staff, ably directed by Mr. O. R. Forsman, receives orders from all eighty-one advisories. They count the money, prepare it for the bank, and make out the total stamp and bond orders. Records are kept of all transactions made. ' From March, l942, until June, I944, the Staff handled S4l l,26l.90 in stamps and bonds. Only 383,034.20 were bank credits.

X Q O1-Idd THE ROOSEVELT COACHING STAFF Roosevelt High is indeed fortunate in having an excellent coaching staff. There have been no major changes in the past year. Coach Otto Rost, assisted by Mr. Van Reen, continues to develop first-rate football teams. The sub-varsity football squad is coached by Mr. Van Reen, assisted by Mr. Kuntz and Mr. Linhart. The varsity basketball team is also under the guidance of Mr. Rost who is assisted by Coach Van Reen of the B squad. Mr. Van Reen, assisted by Mr. Kuntz, directs the Rough Rider track team. As in the past, baseball is coached by Mr. Carlsong Mr. Linhart takes charge of swimming: Mr. Lorenzen continues as tennis coach. Of course, we must give credit to Mr. Neeb who ably remains head of the athletic department. With such capable men to direct the athletic activities at Roosevelt, -we may look forward to many new victories and honors in the field of athletics. MARVIN KATZ HUGH lVlcNAl..LY One Hundred Eight 1943-1944 BASKETBALL SEASON Last year's Rough Rider basketball team, trained by Coach Rost, led Norman Ullrich as captain, fought its way to third place in the Public High School League. The boys also entered the Normandy Consolation Tourna- ment in which they were successful and brought a championship to Roose- velt High. Of last year's team only four lettermen are returning and one of those is here for only half a yearg they are: Captain Eddie Hoffmeister, Paul Hammermeister Cone-half yearj, Don Taylor, and Wayne Fledderrnan. So with four lettermen, boys from last year's team. and new prospects, Coach Rost hopes to bring home a Public High School Basketball League Champion- ship to Roosevelt High School. JOHN KIRIAKOS -nu .nl TENNIS-1944 The season of 1944 was not so successful for the Roosevelt tennis team as everyone hoped that it would beg, but the team proved that the members could be depended upon to put up a good battle and to be considered a threat at all times. Roosevelt ended the season in fifth place in the Public High School League, winning fifteen games and dropping the same number of matches. The members of the team are as follows: No. l and Captain-Alex Van Der Tuin. No. 2-Lowell Hake. No. 3-Charles I-lilf. Doubles--Russell Hoffmeyer and Evan Ramsdale. Alternate-Conrad Fassold. Members of the team meriting special recognition are the doubles team of Hoffmeyer and Ramsdale, who finished second among the doubles- teams of the city. Charles Hilf is also to be commended for his outstanding individual play. Roosevelt congratulates and points with pride to the 1944 tennis team. It is not always how much we Win that counts, but the enthusiasm which we show. HUGH lVlcNALLY One Hundred Nine 'N SWIMMING Moderator: C. l. Linhart OFFICERS Jan. to June, I944 Sept., 1944, to Jan., 1945 Captain: Robert Maurer William Rice The swimming team usually begins practice after school hours about the first of October and continues until about the first week of March. The boys meet between the hours of three and five o'cloclc. During the interscholastic swimming season, our team meets the other city high school swimming teams in dual meets after which all the high school swim teams terminate the season with the Annual interscholastic Swimming Meet. This City Meet is held during the latter part of February. Immediately following the City Meet the boys vie for a place in the State Championship Contest sponsored by the Missouri State High School Athletic Association. This takes place in early March. Roosevelt urges all boys to learn to swim well because swimming ability is a very cheap form of life insuranceg it is an undisputedly healthful, all- around form of exercise that can be continued when the body is unfit for many other forms of exercise. Swimming is one of the first vital require- ments requested by our armed forces. Many of our former swimming team members are now instructors of swimming for Uncle Sam. ls that an indica- tion of the importance of swimming as a sport? Our team represents those boys who became interested in advanced swim- ming and who will go out to promote swimming as an exercise and a sport throughout their lives-. The competition they engage in while members of the team is an incentive to more perfect performance through a more rigid training regime. One Hundred Ten .X ' 4, if tf,1'W'tJ BW ,4fQN Hats off to the swimming team for a splendid performance! The Roose- velt Paddlers won their second consecutive state meet. A total of 4I points were made, Blewett coming in second, made 25. Through the able guidance and supervision of the swimming team's new coach, Mr. Linhart, the team won the Public High School League title, the City Championship, and the Missouri State High Championship. All of the Public High School dual meets and all except two telegraphic meets, which were lost to Des Moines and Clinton, lowa, were won by the Roosevelt swimmers. Much of the credit in winning the state championship lies in Mr. l..inhart's ability to arrange, these telegraphic meets. Mr. Linhart selected some of the better schools in the country for these meets. By doing this, our team had to work hard in order to win and thus prepared our team for the all-important State meet. Members of the team winning their letter or stripe this year are: Captain Bill Moehlenbrock, Bob Carroll, Don Fleming, Bob Kraehe, Bob Maurer, Lew Turner, Bob Collins, Don Herman, Bill Jostes, Bill Kleybocker, Dick Krachenberg, Richard Newman, Jack Nolte, Bill Rice, Don Traub, George Wendel, and Joe Crouch.

VICTOR KOVACIK JACK LUDWIC HAROLD DIXON 1 ,O -1 One Hundred Eleven GIRLS' ATHLETICS What's your favorite sport or game, Miss Rough Rider? Pick one from the many, and you will probably find people playing it at Roosevelt High School. We have a volley-ball club composed of teams which compete against each other. The girls play in the gym on cold or rainy days and on the outdoor courts in good weather. Volley-ball is a very popular game at Roosevelt, probably because of the high spirit of team play and of compe- tition. One afternoon a week basketball is played. Here is an opportunity to learn a very popular game which is not played in gym classes. Then, in our own well-constructed pool, the swimming club meets. Here you can improve and perfect your stroke under expert instruction. This year softball teams have been formed and games played during the spring season. ' Other sports and games are offered in our regular gym periods. As a special treat, there is an annual Play Day. Our capable gym teachers present a full and varied athletic program. Every girl in Roosevelt is invited to participate. So-again we say, name your sport-then play! JANE KENNEALY PLAY DAY L Thursday, May 25, dawned bright and sunny. Almost one hundred Roosevelt girls eagerly looked forward to another afternoon of their favorite outdoor sporty volleyfball, softball, tennis, orrhorse-shoes. At two-thirty in the afternoon the skies became overcast, and rain threatened. Nevertheless, the enthusiastic girls hurriedly left their seventh period classes to don their gym suits and start to play. The rain came, not in torrents, but hard enough to make the most opti- mistic girl give up hope of going out on the fields and tennis courts. The weather, however, did not dampen anyone's spirits. Under the direction of Miss Varian, teams immediately formed and went into action. Some of the girls played volley-ball in the gyms. These games were well contested, even those who had not signed up for volley-ball enjoyed them. Others climbed and swung on the poles and ladders in the girls' gym. Still others played tennis against the walls.. 'The equipment had recently been repaired and was novel enough to interest everyone. Later Miss Eager played the piano while the girls danced. Then came the traditional climax to another enjoyable Play Day-the ice-cream! This year the girls gathered together in the lunch-room for the refreshments. . Everyone had a fine time as they alwaysido on Play Day and were grateful to Miss Varian and the other gym teachers for carrying out the event successfully despite the bad weather. LOIS ARKEBAUER - , JANE KENNEALY One Hundred Twelve BASEBALL The I944 baseball season was not so successful for the Rough Riders as we hoped- it would be, but Coach Carlson's boys proved that they had the fighting spirit. The coach was faced with the task of organizing an almost entire new team as only a few lettermen returned from the I943 squad. The Riders opened their season on April 5, and in an exhibition game with University City, pounded out a 4-I victory. Results of other exhibition games are as follows: St. Louis University High ..... 4 Roosevelt ..., ..... 3 University City ........,....,.,...,.. 7 - Roosevelt .4.. ..,..

They failed to score in their first two games, losing to Cleveland and Beau- mont by scores of 4-0, and 7-0. The next two games saw the Crimson and White hitting attack pick up, but not enough to win. The Southwest Steers downed the Rough Riders, 6-4, and then we dropped a I0-8 slugfest to Blewett. lt was in the fifth game that our boys broke into the victory column for the first time, defeating the Soldan Tigers, 9-5. The next game saw One Hundred Thirteen Roosevelt's pitchers being hit very hard, and the final score found the McKin- ley Goldbugs on top, I0-5. It was a different story in the final game of the season, for the Riders pounded out three runs in the opening inning, and then coasted to a 7-4 victory over the Central Redwings. Combined records for the season show Roosevelt with four victories and ten losses. We were successful in winning two exhibition games while dropping five: in the Public High School League we had an identical record.

The moment was tense, the faces of the students, the people who had elected their queen, awaited the entrance of Roosevelt royalty. As soon as the trumpets had announced the queen's presence, all heads were turned and all eyes were fixed upon the central door of the auditorium. The long awaited moment had come. The maids of honor, Gerry White, Gloria Cunningham, Lois Ballard, Elaine George, and Dorothy Conrad, took their places on the stage one by one. At last, slowly down the aisle came Mary King, RooseVelt's Track Queen of I944. An ear-splitting applause accompanied her to the throne where the retiring queen, Dorothy Kundsen, relinquished the throne to her. Coach Reinhardt made a speech giving the students a brief sketch of the team and their chances of winning the meet. This team possessed the real spirit of Rooseveltians, the captains were ready to face whatever was held in store for them with high spirits and courage. The auditorium session closed with the students joining together and singing our Alma Mater and a word of caution from Mr. Hill to those students who were driving to the meet to drive carefully and avoid accidents. The students filed from the auditorium, their crimson and white colors blending into a team of just one, Rooseveltians, come what may, win or lose, they were ready to accept either in the true Rooseveltian spirit. l..lLl..lAN KOSEL One Hundred Sixteen One Hlmdz ed Seventeen Ju liifotyii-gif A TRACK POINT WINNERS FIELD DAY Field Day, hot and slightly cloudy, was disappointing to the large number of enthusiastic Rooseveltians, as Rooseevlt attained the position of second place, scoring only 84 points to Beaumont's Ill. Our Juniors performed excellently, scoring 52M points, by far the highest in the Junior divisiong our Novipes did very well, scoring ZIM pointsg and our Senior division, although the participants had lost many good men to' the armed services, scored I0 points, doing reasonably Well.

As a whole, Roosevelt did fairly well, but we would like to see her regain first place and keep it as long as she has previously. The Roosevelt track coaches are doing a splendid job, and we hope that next year Roosevelt will have one of its most outstanding teams. The team is steadily improving and at its present rate it will surely be capable of upholding the honor of Roosevelt High School.

One Hundred Nineteen ,WWQW The Rough Rider football team had a good for second place in the league, winning four games, tying one, and losing one. The team had a powerful offensive built around Hoffmeister, Fledder- man, Mandel, and was under the leadership of Alexander. Our strong line was composed of: Hummel and Layne, ends, Captain Geers and Killmar, tackles: Karmi and Hixon, guards: and Piros, center. Miller, Parrot, Giel, Weiters, Hausman, Gradolf, Applebaum, Becker, Hammermeister, Harvey, lVlcClen- ning, Michler, Bennett, and Taylor did a good job of substitution. Our first game was a I3-0 loss to McBride. Our second game was played against East St. Louis High School in the Shriners' Benefit Game. Although we dominated most of the game, we lost a close, thrilling game by a score of I9 to I4. Our third game was with our traditional rival, Cleveland, whom we defeated 20 to l9, much to the delight of all Rooseveltians. Our next game was a I4 to 7 loss. to St. Louis University High mainly because of an injury to Hoffmeister. Our fifth game was a complete victory over South- West, 25 to 0. ln our next game we out-played McKinley, but the final result was a 7-7 tie. Then we lost to Beaumont by a score of II4-7, Beaumont Won on two long runs. Central was our next opponent, and We rushed them 26 to 0. ln our last game we made our highest score, defeating Soldan 33 to 6. The boys who were our high scorers for the season were, in order: Hoffmeister, Fledclerman, Hummel, Mandel, Miller, and Geers.

WILLIAM APPELBAUM One Hundred Twenty-four ' f 5'- f UC: MxI'lxDDfN One Hundred Twenty-ive One Hundred Twenty-six THE SPRING MAID V On May I8 and I9, I9-44, the auditorium of Roosevelt High School rang with the lovely, lilting melodies of Heinrich Reinhardt's operetta, The Spring Maid. The many hours of rehearsals could be seen in the smoothly- running and well-interpreted musical tale. All Roosevelt has reason to be proud of the faculty members, Miss Hilb, Miss Manheimer, Miss Grace, and Mr. Hahnel, for their tireless efforts in making this performance such an outstanding success. The principals were selected carefully, and each seemed to have a natural Hair for the character that he or she was portraying. Q The operetta opens at the annual pageant at Carlsbad Springs, a famous health resort in Czechoslovakia. Among the distinguished guests present were Princess Bozena, the lovely man-shy daughter of Prince Nepomuk, whose main interest is to have his daughter marry a man of wealth so that his creditors may be appeased, Baron Rudi, cousin of Bozena, is in love with Annamirl, the Spring Maid, and is greatly disturbed because Prince Aladar, a wealthy Hungarian nobleman who has a reputation with the ladies, arrives at the festival. Aladar has heard of Annamirl and wants to make her acquaintance, but Baron Rudi, foreseeing this, has conspired with Bozena that she should masquerade as Annamirl. Roland, a famous English tragedian and director of the Carlsbad pageant, Ursula, his greatest admirer, and Spaetling, a Commissioner of Police, whose One Hundred Twenty-seven clues never fail him, supply further complications in the conspiracy. Aladar falls in love with Bozena, believing that she is the Spring Maid. Bozena returns his affection, but her pride will not permit her to accept his proposal of marriage and she tells Aladar that she will marry him when the spring runs dry. Prince Nepomuk, seeing an opportunity to have Bozena marry a man of wealth calls in a plumber and has the spring stopped. As in all operettas, the Prince marries the Princess and all's well that ends well. Q CAST OF CHARACTERS Princess Bozena .,........ ........,.......... ........ ......,........, . . .

The only type of imaginary imps that can be seen alive lives in the troposphere of the atmosphere. They are descendants of a particular type of elf. No one knows how or why they ascended into the sky. One theory states that they began hitch-hiking on airplanes during the early years of aviation development and, as the years progressed, they adapted themselves to flying. Some authorities assert that they were first observed in i928 when a R. A. F. pilot, in broad daylight, discovered one with a luminous face sitting calmly on the compass, dangling his legs in the air. Others claim they were first seen at Kelly Field, Texas, about the latter part of l923. No matter what their origin, the fact remains that they are truly a headache to aviators. Being mischievous is their chief occupation, although there are a few good ones. A study' of their habits over a period of time shows the bad ones cause flat, tires in mid-air, gnaw fuel lines, rip wing fabrics, steal maps out of map cases, jam control surfaces with their canes, and sit on the wing and deflect bullets with their thumbs as the bullets come out of the guns. As for the good ones, they help pilots by chipping ice off the wings, sliding into a disabled plane, on a radio beam, and by grasping hands hold it together till it reaches its base safely. ' When a flying crew finds a flock of these imps on board, they naturally become a bit jittery, for they never know whether the little imps are friendly or otherwise. One particular imp is the one with bright green eyes which dazzle the bombardier at the critical moment. However, bombardiers have learned they can foil him by laying a trail of fresh molasses from the bomb- sight to the escape hatch. Another type is the widgets. They are about one-tenth the average size, which is twenty-four inches. lnstead of being long-nosed and wearing derby hats, they have tiny noses that curl up at the tip, and, in place of hats, they have four tiny horns, one just above each ear and two in the middle of the forehead. An interesting account of good imps is the one concerning a Sterling bomber. As the bomber was returning from a raid over the Alps, the wings began to ice up. That particular Sterling had no de-icers. Things looked bad as the plane lost lift. Suddenly dozens of the elves appeared, took a firm stand with their suction boots on the wing and began to chip away the ice with the stems of their umbrellas. When the ice was all gone, the big bomber cut across the end of a long rainbow and headed homeward. The imps, after doing their task, slid down the rainbow. All elves living above the earth, Leprechauns, Cluricans, Widgets, Wiffen- poofs and Omadhaunes, are classified as Gremlins. The origin of the word Gremlin is obscure, though one authority maintains it is derived from the Latin word meaning to vex or pester. Most people do not believe in them because they cannot be seen. The fact is that only pilots and strongly air-minded people can see Gremlins. Could they be figments of the imagi- nation? VICTOR KOVACIK One Hundred Thirty AN EXCITING RIDE I was in a great hurry. I had to be at the football game last Friday at seven o'clock. I wasn't paying any attention to the time this particular evening. Six o'cIock, the time I should have departed came and went, as did six-fifteen. Then came six-thirty. Suddenly, I became conscious of the time. I gathered my equipment and raced toward the corner. There was a street-car waiting, but a few seconds before I reached it, the door closed and the car pulled away. This made me see red. I began waiting for a second street carg five, ten, twelve minutes passed. A crowd was now waiting. Finally a street car came. When I heard the driver remark that he was fifteen minutes behind time, I thought his being behind time was luck because he would now travel faster than he usually does. He couldn't speed up, however, for at almost every stop there was somebody waiting. I reached Kingshighway after what seemed hours. Waiting was a bus across the street, I started running. This time I won the race with the public conveyance. I saw a clock after we had gone a block: seven-fifteen: a few more blocks another clock, and as usual, another time: seven-five. What will the coach say: Will he even let me siton the bench? It seemed the stop signs would turn red a second after they turned green, just because my bus was coming. Everybody seemed to be so leisurely about the business of waiting to get off at their stop. Why were they so happy? Didn't they know I was in a hurry? Another stop sign. Will I ever get there? Seven-thirty, I heard somebody say. Maybe I should get out and rung it seemed to me that I would go faster. Maybe the coach wouldn't miss me. If I ever see a green stop sign again, l'll kiss it. Why does that driver have to pick up all these people? Such were my thoughts on a slow bus. Did I make the game? I did. The coach-wasn't even angry. All my worrying for nothing!

Won't you please come up? ln a minute, Mom, is the invariable answer to the foregoing question every night of the week. Yes, l literally dwell in my dark-room, amid the delicate fragrance of the various chemical compounds and solutions.

Cnce contact is made with the innocent-looking liquid, the odor lingers several days, as it is virtually impossible to wash away the pungent nuisance. The nuisance goes to bed with me, eats with me, goes to school with me, and is particularly noticeable while reading, writing, or recreating. Perhaps I should buy a pair of print tongs. They might relieve my plight, for they are used to prevent one from dipping his fingers in the solutions. The thought of buying a pair of tongs has entered my mind quite often, but after analyzing the idea thoroughly, I've decided against it. The tongs would prevent my coming in contact with the solutiong if my fingers didn't touch the stuff they wouldn't smell, and l would have no reminder of my dark-room at home. If I had no reminder of my dark-room, my thoughts would not stray, l would have nothing to think about: and since l am a great thinker, l won't buy any tongs. V Another bottle besides that containing hype adorns the shelf of my dark-room. It is a weird brown bottle containing a mysterious liquid, a liquid which transforms a blank strip of celluloidi into a series of negatives from which the final prints are made. Photographers all know this liquid as udeveloperf' Developer has an odor all its own. ln fact, l've never smelled any- thing quite like itf and l hope l nevershall, againj. Besides having an obnoxious odor, the developer has an unpleasant habit of forming a white crust over everything as it dries out. Since l invariably spill it while pouring it out, my dark-room has begun to take on a lighter aspect. The third of the uthree musketeersn of the dark-room shelf is a solution known as potas- sium alum. I compound the potassium alum after my own formula Cwhich is a little strong, I might addl, but if the resulting liquid affects my olfactory nerves as does a strong whiff of ammonia, l am well satisfied.

It is my opinion, however, that after the death of a person, good or bad, they go to their respective places, and do not traipse around from one body to another. A metempsychosist .firmly believes that, after he dies and his body, stiff and cold, is buried six feet under and daisies are substantially started on their way upward, he has the glorious privilege of choosing the body, or bodies, he wishes to dwell in. Now wouldn't that be handy! Suppose one wishes to be a great figure in the present time. All he has to do is to drink a bottle of iodine and then slip into the particular body chosen. Then, too, if that body fperhaps an old fat onej bores one, his soul might just as well slip out and find another. Mayhap one is lonesome? Then why not get in touch with a friend or two! If one has a friend he wishes to communicate with, all that need be done is to slip out of the present position and into the friend. Then he sits down and writes a letter to himself. After writing the letter, he might happen to remember that his migration is not only confined to human beings, but animals being included falas, remem- bering that hateful bill-collector and being in the neighborhood, he begins to make preparations to enter into the animal kingdom. Then, after frighten- ing the wits out of the bill-collector by reminding him in undertones that he had at some time overcharged on a collection, and also out of that cranky old landlord, whom one just happened to meet, he goes his care- free way. Just think of the traveling one might do. Why, he could see the whole world from a bird's-eye view, literally speaking. He wouldn't have to pay fare either. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have to pay for anything. Traveling along, the traveler's eye catches a sign-poster. Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson in Shakespeare's Macbeth. This looks good. He just goes in this door and slips through the first person seen. The play is in progress. Choosing a seat to one's liking, he sits. down. Ah! How nice it is to sit comfortably without tight-fitting bodies for a change. Vision is suddenly hampered by the huge feathers on the hat of the woman who just sat down, so a person must move. That is much better. One must be careful, however, that he is not sat upon suddenly. No, I have no doubt that a metempsychosist believes that he can move around for the rest of eternity inspecting the inside of everyone he meets. Thus he travels from one body to another, and stays therein as long as he wishes. I have often thought how humorous it would be if two such wonders happened to choose the same body. Oh, I beg your pardon, l clicln't know this was occupied. That's quite all right. l was just leaving. lt's rather boring in here. This is the second time l've bumped into you this week. l-low's Joe? I haven't seen him lately. I One Hundred Thirty-four He's getting along splendidly. Well, I must be rushing along now. I hope I shall bump into you again soon. Good-bye. And so they go their own separate ways, until they bump into each other again. I still prefer to believe that this is untrue. I believe that when you die, no similar experience will be yours. I must say, however, that superstition, or belief, or legend, or whatever one prefers to call it is certainly wonderful for the imagination. Is it not? ROBERT EAST A - id' HOW I HATE TO WRITE AN ESSAY Among other dreadful tasks comes the one of having to write an essay. Oh! what horrid things they are! This thought comes to my mind as begin to sharpen my wits. What can I write about? How can I put my thought into material which will appeal to the reader? After much thought and contemplation, I find a striking topic of interest. As my main thought begins to develop, a feeling of superiority springs up within me. I start to weave a pattern, which might, after much deep work, prove to be very interesting. Such an over-taxing of brains! Moments such as these make me wonder if all authors had to go through this same nerve-wracking experience. If they-had the desire to quit, such as I have right now, we can hardly blame them, for their work was much more tiring and complicating. By this time, after seriously thinking of others' achievements, I begin my efforts again. It might be well to inform the reader that my brain is slowly beginning to function. At last my first paragraph is finished and the writing of the second goes along rather fluently. Perhaps I am acquiring that certain something that writers must have. This pleasant dream of fame is interrupted by a bump in the middle of my essay. I don't know what to say, what to write about. It is then that I become quite disgusted with myself and think that perhaps I had better quit. After all, I'm not another Lamb! Something begins to prick my conscience. I can't give up this easily. The old adage, Try, try again, flashes to my mind, and try I do until I finally reach my goal: the end of the essay. There may linger a feeling of delight as I read my work: again, there may not. All I know is that the feeling uppermost in me is this: I just hate to write an essay. i ROSEMARIE LIPPOLD One Hundred Thirty-flue MY SCHOOL AND ITS OCCUPANTS AS I SEE THEM Roosevelt High School appears to me as a giant dynamo having pent up in it an undiminishing source of brain power and muscle power. This brain power and muscle power are supplied by students who surge through the corridors as a 'current of electricity surges through a wire only to be cut off by a switch. But in our case the switches are the teachers and the master switch is the principal. Because of my foregoing statements, l hope no one takes me to be an expert on the subject of electricity, high school students, and high school teachers, as this I do not claim to be. At this point l drop the subject of electricity, dynamos, and wires with a resounding thud and take up the 'subject of students. fNo doubt certain persons would drop me with a thud if they ever gazed upon the words which lie sprawled upon this pagej Students, l believe, are divided into four classes: first, there is the athletic typeg second, the studious type: third, the l-don't-give-a-care type, and, finally, mister or miss average student. Now the athletic type of fellow is the one who, with his friends, takes up half the bench space in the halls, crowds around the drinking fountains and talks between classes, so that one has to resort to football tactics before he can enjoy the freshness of 'Ole Man River, and then as the last bell rings, sprintsi down the hall to his next class. Once there he drops into his seat, as if he were half dead, and tries to conform to the wishes of his teacher. Another thing he tries to do is get his lesson, because, as you know, he must pass if he wants to play on the team. The studious type, l am told, is indeed rare, but once you see him you cannot mistake him for someone else. He can be seen walking down the hall under an enormous pile of text and note books. He always arrives in ample time for classes and before said classes start, opens his book and begins reviewing so that when the teachervbegins the recitation his hand is continually in the air waving like a flag in a hurricane. For the present we'll leave the flag waving and turn to the l-don't-give-a- care fellow. This type occupies the other half of that bench space that l mentioned previously. He also makes his appearance in class with the ringing of the bell or strolls in some time later only to be sent out in search of a detained slip. When he finally gets to class, the teacher discovers he has either lost or forgotten his book or he has not prepared the day's lesson. This is also the fellow who directs first-termers to the elevator and who gets into everybody else's business because he has nothing else to do. While that first-termer is trying to find the elevator, we approach our next type of pupil, the average student. This type may be classified as the happy medium. He arrives on time for classes, has his lessons ready fwith a few exceptionsl, and returns his report card, signed, on time. ln short, this is' the one type that makes teaching worth while for the members of the faculty. A One Hundred Thirty-six Ah, yesl The members of the faculty. They are my next subject. l divide them into the agreeable and the not-so-agreeable types. l shall first take up the agreeable type. These are the teachers that have a smile on their faces and make one feel at home in their classes. They seem to get along with everyone and are willing to help one along when one reaches a snag in his studies. Now the not-so-agreeable type of teacher carries a chip around on his for her, shoulder and has all the qualities of the agreeable teacher-in reverse. l say we can use fewer of this type. That brings to an end my little satire on students and teachers. You will observe that l have treated the subject of teachers rather lightly because, you see-l want to pass this term. RICHARD PROVAZNIK ,fi .5 a' M g t If i s W ' its OUR MILKMAN USED TO SET UP PINS FOR THE ROUSEVELT BOWLING CLUB. A PENCIL l picked up my pencil. A pencil. Well, what about a pencil? The dictionary says that pencil, a noun, is a cylinder containing graphite, carbon, lead, and chalk, for the purpose of writing. All of this, of course, is encased in wood. Look at that pencil carefully. Examine it closely. Don't laugh so scorn- fully! A pencil is a weapon: a powerful weapon. It can decide the fates of nations. A pencil might change your Whole course of life. And, then again, it may point only to a small event in your life. It can spell out a zero as easily as a one hundred. It figures in your small happenings and in the eventful happenings of rulers and nations. Did you ever forget to bring your pencil to class? lr made a whale of a lot of difference, didn't it? Maybe that was the one thing your teacher insisted upon: a pencil in each person's possession. Take another look, a close look at that pencil. Who made it? Who mined the lead, graphite, and other materials? Who felled the trees for the One Hundred Thirty-seven casing of the lead? ls the lead soft or is it hard? How many people worked to give you a pencil? Do you know the answers? About a hundred individuals worked to make that single pencil. That's a hundred more jobs, a hundred less people on relief, or jobless. Do you not feel a little respect for that pencil now? Perhaps the next time you won't forget it, or lose it so carelessly. A fool and his pencil are soon parted. Don't please, let us have to call you a fool. Hold on to that pencil, friend! It is a potent weapon. V LOUISE SCHMIDT H, 53:4 .

Yes, from the time you entered school, perhaps your greatest worry has been those annoying things! They have their good points as well as their bad, for who knows, if your grades are good, you may get the money for the first installment on that jaloppy, or for that cute little hat. Nevertheless, everyone gets a report card, so l am going to try to show what a typical high school report card day is like. You wake up, to your disgust, earlier than usual and feeling very blue, but ready for anything. Before you leave school, you skilfully prepare your parents for the shock, insist that you have the worst teachers in the school, and that if you don't get good grades, it's because they all dislike you. Finally, you drag yourself to school and to advisory where you are given the fateful card. With a word of admonition from your advisor about forging signatures, you are off to your classes. You start out fairly well, but just can't see how Ed got a lower You are all it wasn't your grades pretty-good Snizzleginks got a higher geometry grade than you did when he test grade. Oh, well, I-le's got pull. cheered up by your music grade and tell your friends that after easy to make. The morning passes and at luncheon you discuss with your friends over a what-is-it? sandwich and a looks- dish. The afternoon, to your surprise, passes quickly and at three o'clock you conclude that the reckoning could have been worse. As you leave, you greet your friends with a I-li! How'd you make out? You are sympathetic with some and envious of others. One Hundred Thirty-eight At last you arrive home and upon showing your card to your parents, there are explanations of I told you so, and, l-lereafter, that radio must be shut off while you are doing your homework! Report card clay finally comes to an end and your record, having been viewed by every family member and commented upon by each, is signed by Father or Mother. Then you fall wearily into bed, promising to turn over a new leaf the next day, and thanking your lucky stars that report cards come only every seven weeks! LOUISE CRECELIUS Mo. . THE STUDY HALL In we stride with abounding pep and enegry plus a firm resolution to keep that promise to the history teacher by finding out what finally happened to Napoleon. With a thud we fall into our seat and decide to wait for the bell before studying. Turning around to observe the day's attendance we see Bill J-- slouched in a corner in the back of the room. Calling out a friendly greeting and receiving one in return, we again think of Napoleon after receiving a warning glance from the teacher in charge. Open comes the history book with the ringing of the bell. As our eyes skim down the first paragraph we notice some tiny form of life on the desk top. Could it be? Or do l dare look? Yes, it is! Well, well, the first fly of Spring. Wouldn't it be fun to see the fellow in front squirming if this particular fly happened to be down his back, say, by accident. Oh, oh, now he's dis- appearedg but there he sits in the center of the aisle. So with mental action we calculate the distance, and the direction in which the fly will probably take off. So we cup our hands and lunge. Oops, our foot slipped and there we sit in the middle of the aisle with a surprised expression upon our face, a history of the world in our lap, and an appeasing grin to satisfy the inquiring look on the teacher's face. Resolved to get down to work, we begin reading about friend Napoleon, when the bell rings. So off we go with a vague bit of information that somebody finally quarantined Napoleon because he tried to give a lot of people lead poisoning. RICHARD F. PROVAZNIK One Hundred Thirty-nine One Hundred Forty MY VICTORY GARDEN Last year l determined to have a Victory Garden. Yes! I was going to raise lots of food to help my country. l made promises, boasts, and bets with the greatest of ease. That winter, plans were laid, garden books read, and plans were worked out scientifically. On paper everything looked easy. Alas! Spring had come and l set out to solve the food shortage. With spade, hoe, rake, ruler, and boxes of seeds, l went out into the yard with great enthusiasm. l put the spade to the earth and pushed, and pushed, but nothing happened, the ground held firm. The battle was on: high hopes versus ground with strong constitution. After breaking the ground, l encoun- tered bricks, cans, roots, rocks, nails, pails, and everything imaginable. l was not only going to grow food, but also help the scrap drive. After much digging, plowing, and losing of temper, l tucked the seeds into their beds. Spring Wore on and at last tender green shoots were coming up. How excited l became, but something must have gone wrong. The shoots weren't in the nice straight rows as l had planted them. Upon further investigation, l found the shoots to be weeds. Yes! Weeds of every conceivable description. So-l started weeding my garden. l grabbed the first weed l saw and gave a pull, but nothing happened. So, bracing myself, I pulled and pulled, but after a struggle l pulled 'it out. l have never seen so many roots for such a small plant. After I had conquered the Weeds, my crops came up to a nice size. Again foptimist that l amy, l thought my work was done. One day l noticed that the tops of my beets ,were gone. On investigating, l found the cause to be-of all things-bugs! Bugs were all over the plants: everything from plant lice to big green caterpillars. Again the battle was on, determination versus hungry insects. Armed with spray gun, bug powder, Hy swatter, and poison, l set out to conquer these little pests. that were devouring my garden. After several more weeks of work, victory was mine, the insects were exterminated. ln due season, harvest time came. After digging, weeding, fighting insects, and watering my garden, l was ready to eat the food I had tended so carefully. Although many of the carrots and beets were extremely small, and some of the tomatoes. were Wormy, my garden did very well, but it did not live up to the boasts and promises I had made the winter before. Though my V garden clidn't wholly solve the food shortage, it did supply the vegetables for several meals, and you have no idea how delicious they tasted. The results more than repaid the effort put forth by an amateur gardener. CHARLES GEISEL R, W . 1 E1 f lirlllllltlllll One Hundred Forty-one BWANA CALENDAR February, 1944, to June, 1944 February 2: Did you notice all the Rough Riders wandering around the halls with those little yellow program cards?

Why can't Mondays be bright and peppy? Why cloesn't somebody do something? Who, us? Oh! We haven't the time or energy to talk about it now. Beware, Rooseveltians! A recent record has shown that Roosevelt's sale of War Stamps and Bonds has been low in comparison with the sales of the other high schools in St. Louis. Does this mean that we care less for our brothers, and cousins, and fathers in the service than do students in these other schools? Does it mean that we are indifferent to the sacrifices being made by those gallant boys who stand between us and slavery? Let's show them tomorrow that we at Roosevelt are behind them. l..et's make it l00 per cent for the first time-then keep it there! And remember, your group must be !00 per cent before anyone in your group can receive a ticket for the biggest of all Aud. sessions--on Friday, February 25.

BILL HOLUB BEVERLY KOZIBOSKI ROSEMARIE LIPPOLD LOUISE SCHMIDT SHIRLEY SCHMITT 59, -2.1, lf' 59-f Fr' 'K lh..AW 'T' DEFENSE STAMPS One thin dime! just one-tenth of one dollar is all that is needed to secure a fortune and a future in the post-war times. just a dime, which most pupils would gladly give up to buy that package of chewing gum, bar of candy, or that ice cream treat. But some pupils will not give a dime to invest in something far better than any pleasure they could now enjoy. Some just won't be convinced that it is for their own goodg others say that they use their entire allowance or wage every Week to buy a new wardrobeg still others have the Himsy excuse, and one that becomes very tiring, that they forgot. The one dime that they are holding on to so determinedly, might possibly be spent to buy the bullet that would save one American boy from paying the supreme sacrifice. lf a brother, dear friend, or someone in their circle of relatives would pay the supreme sacrifice because his gun did not have that bullet that would bring him backf then they would wake up. You're not giving your money: you're lending it. You secure a future and also help other American boys, dear to other people, to come back.

October 24---That day of days when the entire school is enveloped in a blackness known as ugloomf' Corridors buzzing with, What did she give you? and How many 'Ps' did you get? They simply come out three times a term too often: Those old report cards! One Hundred Sixty-four October 25-It is announced today that a straw vote or preview election will be held in the school to educate the people approaching the voting age on why and how' to vote. Polling places have been assigned, students have registered, and now we are all ready for election day which in the school will be November l, I944. October 26-One of the biggest events of this term, a masquerade, is sponsored by the Sevens. Dancing and refreshments are enjoyed by all, but two of the biggest moments of the evening are the unmasking of everyone and the awarding of a prize for the best costumes worn by a boy and a girl.

October 28-The Roosevelt football team once again has shown its strength by tying the powerful McKinley team. Although we were hoping we could win, we are not thoroughly dissatisfied.

After school today, in Room 30l, we are having a meeting. Our buttons have arrived and will be issued at that time. Please be there if possible. ' One Hundred Sixty-five November I-Election day here at dear old Roosevelt I-ligh. Not a real one, of course, but a straw vote . This shows how we would vote if we were over twenty-one. Much to' the Republicans' dismay, President Roosevelt is given a two-to-one majority over his opponent, Thomas E. Dewey, and wins the election. V November 2-The officers of the Eights and the officers of the various committees meet with Miss Wade after school. November 3-We are all taken out of the present, and into the past days of no worry of rationing and shortage by the educational film about the eighteenth century life in Williamsburg, Virginia. Everyone at the Aud. enjoys the film but, Why did they have to show it just before lunch? Those waffles and baconiand eggs were really mouth-watering. We appre- ciate the showing of this film by Miss Cutter's operators, and are looking forward to seeing more in the future. November 4--Our Roosevelt Rough Riders, for the first time this season, go down in defeat in a league game. The always powerful Beaumont wins, and the final score is: Beaumont l4, and Roosevelt 7.

November 8-Once again, parents, patrons, and friends of Roosevelt are invited to attend Open l-louse at 7:30 P. M. At this time the visitors are given an opportunity to see Roosevelt in action.

At 8:15 the parents, teachers, and friends go to the Aud. where they are entertained by the orchestra, choir, drill corps, Spanish class, and girls' and boys' gymnastic groups. All seem happy as they make their way down the steps and l'm sure everyone will remember this night for a long time. Questions of 'iWhat is the Aud. about, do you know? are buzzing around the corridors. It proves to be two very interesting and timely movies: one on the migration of birds of the United States, and the other one on what is being done in the way of education in Latin America. Proud of 'em? You bet we're proud of our new swing band, and who wouldn't be? At least that's what we surmise from the applause they are showered with in the Aud. today. l..et's hope they keep their standards up. November 9-The Seniors meet after school today and among other things, plan a wiener roast for Thursday, November I6. This Wiener roast is to take place in Carondelet Park after school. - Roosevelt triumphs again on the gridiron! This time it's Central that fails to score against our fighting eleven.

Rousing school spirit prevails throughout the, game and reaches its climax when the game ends with the score, 26 to 0, favoring the Rough Riders.

Come on. Let's go, America! This Aud. is the most touching session that Roosevelt has had for some time. It is made so by the stirring speech by Robert E. I-leany, B. M. lfc, of the Navy. B. M. Heaney related the strife and struggle of the battle of Lunza Point and the first raid on Palau Island. l-le told all assembled just what was happening to our fighting men and he didn't use any sugar coating. B. lVl. Heaney received the Purple Heart and was wounded on Palau. Veteran of fifteen major battles, he has had almost all foreign service since 1938 and has been in combat thirty-two months on a heavy cruiser's battle station. I-le related some of the drastic fates of our boys, and of their need of equipment, which can be obtained only by our purchases of War Bonds and Stamps. We think that no one can go back to his advisory Without making this purchase. The soldiers are giving their lives. Let's back them up, Roosevelt. Show your fighting spirit, IOO.

The stickers are for sale in the gym office at the small price of ten cents. December Shjudgment day is here.

D One Hundred Seventy-four THE SYMPHONY AT ROOSEVELT A musical treat of exceptional quality was presented at Roosevelt on December 7. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Golschmann, rendered a varied program which was enthusiastically received. The manner in which the concert was accepted is definite proof that the youth of America can, and does, appreciate the world's musical classics. Of course, as would be expected, the rendition of the Surrey with the Fringe on Top received a tremendous ovation. After half of the musical selections were given, an interesting side-light was interjected as the conductor introduced a member of each section of the orchestra as a soloist. It is sincerely hoped that the St. Louis Board of Education will soon bring this exceptional symphony orchestra back to Roosevelt.
