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 rockets rea' 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 ot' the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep XVhere the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. W'hat is that which the breeze. o'er the towering steep. As it Htfully blows. half confeals, halt' a'isrloses? Now it Catches the gleam of the morningfs first beam, ln full glory relleeted now shines on the stream. l'is the Star-Spangled Banner. oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the bravef Oh. thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation .' lilest with vic't'ry and peace. may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the I'ow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. lhhen conquer we must. when our cause it is just. And this be our motto-' ln God is our trust. And the Star-Spangled lianner in triumph shall wave O'er the land ot' the free and the home of the bravef -Frances Scott Key From original drawing made by HARRY JACOBS Th nw OO Q17eOiQDf Star-Spangled Ba nner Administration Flag Raising on Seniors New Seniors Organizations Sporm Side Glances Iwo Jima Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page 59,511+ +9 X MR.

Jil I fziilix Nine Iwo JIMA Far away from the smoke of St. Louis, in the blue vastness of the Pacific, lies lwo Jima, so small that no one here had ever heard of it until the United States General Staff decided that lwo Jima would be an ideal place for an airfield, with Tokyo only seven hundred fifty miles away. It is shaped somewhat like South America, although a thousand times smaller. The northern half, five miles long, is a high plateau rising over three hundred feet and having steep cliffs. The southern tip of the island is Mount Suribachi, a volcano towering five hundred Fifty-four feet above the Pacific. On bloody lwo Jima, a new and brave chapter was written in American history. Airplanes from Saipan, big four-motored Liberators, began a sixty- eight day bombing of the island. The sixty-ninth day the Navy moved in, its guns completing the destruction of everything visible. On February nineteenth, the United States Marines, Fourth Division, invaded the southeastern beach. It was not an easy taskg for twenty thousand japs, until now under cover against bombs and naval guns, moved out. They fought fanaticallyg they knew that lwo Jima would be used as a base for attack on their homeland. They killed and killed, but lwo Jima was ours. Sixty thousand Marines decided it. On the morning of the fourth day of fighting, a four-man patrol 'went almost to the top of Mount Suribachi. They came back to report no ,lap opposition. About noon a lieutenant of the Marines, Fifth Division, led a platoon to the peak, and there the first flag was hoisted. Later in the evening a second and larger Hag was raised, and it is the picture of the raising of this Hag that symbolized the Spirit of '45, And to Private William W. Hurst, editor of BLUUHCI in l942, crawling out of his foxhole on Iwo Jima the morning of February twenty-fourth, that waving glory above Suribachi brought to mind another day in our history. He wrote his parents: ul have never been so proud to be an American as at that moment. It was the words of our national anthem coming to life. The same joy, the same pride, the same feeling of the triumphs of American principles of living swelled within me as must have filled the heart of Francis Scott Key at Fort Mcl-lenry when the Slclr-Spclngled f5c1r1m'r was born.

About 1922 the Board of Education of St. Louis decided to build a high school somewhere between the districts of Cleveland and McKinley High Schools, and selected the cemetery as an ideal spot. After all transactions were completed, the evacuation of the cemetery was begun on October l6, l922. Before long the cemetery was cleared and the building started. The Board of Education decided to name the high school after the late President and statesman, Theodore Roosevelt. The cornerstone of the new high school was laid under the auspices of the Quentin Roosevelt Post of the American Legion on April 22, l923, and the construction of the largest and finest high school in Missouri was begun. Although the interior was not completely finished, the building was ready for occupancy February 2, l925. Here are a few facts and figures about the building and premises of Roosevelt High School. They have been taken from the Roosevelt Hand- book published in I936: Roosevelt High School has the finest campus of any public high school in the city. The lot, extending 9l3 feet north and south and 606 feet east and west, contains over IZM acres of ground. The building itself has an east and west dimension of 4 l 4 feet, and a north and south dimension of 42l feet. Eleven entrances, four double, and three single stairways afford ample accommodations for the speedy movement of large numbers of pupils. The building is strictly fireproof and has a normal student capacity of 3,l68. It contains fifty-five classrooms, ten laboratories, two choral music rooms, one band room, swimming pool, three gymnasiums with dressing rooms, and six shops with wash rooms and material storage rooms. The auditorium, which seats 2,200 people, has one of the largest stages in the city, with a steel, soundproof curtain weighing ten tons. The stage is also used as a gymnasium. The lunchroom can easily accommodate l,500 persons at one sitting. The lunch room is on a non-profit basis, operated for the students' benefit. ln addition, the building contains the necessary wash-rooms, store rooms, and emergency rest rooms for a building of its size. All the machinery in the school is driven by electricity generated in the building. The building itself is lighted by direct current generated by twin steam turbines attached to generators. Alternating current for special use may also be generated in the engine room. The school is also equipped with an automatic telephone system and a vacuum cleaner system. The total cost of building, ground, and fixed equipment was Sl,750,000. These are facts about our school which you, the student, should know.

Burke EDITORS Jan. to June, l945 Sept., l945, to Jan., l946 Bill Butler Charles Geisel Rosemary Lippold Harriet Kolocontroni Much of the work in this year book has been done by the members of the Bwana Staff, who are selected for their willingness and ability to do good work. The job of the staff is to write essays, to arrange pictures, to draw tail-pieces and cartoons, to write up the calendar, and to perform the many other tasks which make the publication of this year book possible. At the end of each term two boys and two girls from the Bwana Staff are selected as candidates for Editors. From these the students elect one boy for Editor and one girl for Co-Editor. The first Bwana was published in l925. This twenty-first edition offers you, through pictures, calendar, and drawings, the bound memories of I945- I946. da s W5 A number of years ago, the members of the yearbook staff wore buttons to designate them as such. For a long time, however, the staff has worked without individual recognition. Perhaps those who work hardest are content to do so in silence, but it has been decided that it is only fair to give some recognition. Therefore, those present staff members who have worked faith- fully for two terms or more will now be presented with the new Bwana Staff button. It was designed by Nancy Ponder, a member of the staff. The wearer should regard it as a medal for past work, recognition of present work, and an incentive for future work.

Our trophy case in the first-Hoor corridor bears witness to this fact. This year we welcome an old friend back to Roosevelt: Mr. Neuman replaces lVlr. Linhart as coach of our swimming team. Mr. Neeb remains as head of the athletic department. The football and basketball teams are still under the able guidance of Mr. Rost. lVlr. Van Reen and Mr. Kuntz train our future varsity players on the sub-varsity football squad. Our top-notch tennis team is again piloted by our good friend, lVlr. Loren- zen, and lVlr. Carlson continues as coach of Roosevelt's baseball team. lVlr. Van Reen and his cindermen will again uphold Roosevelfs honor on the track. All coaches and teams are eagerly looking forward to successful seasons, and to the men who guide the teams we owe a great debt of gratitude and a vote of praise. ROBERT WISHON ROBERT WOLF Um' llurnlzwrll:'li1f7Ii'rl7 BASKETBALL The end of the I944-45 basketball season found the Roosevelt team tied for third place with the Soldan Tigers in the league standings. Cleveland won the championship: Beaumont finished in second place. The Roosevelt five met Soldan in the first game of the season. The game was a real thriller, with the lead changing several times, but, despite a ten- point lead held by the West Siders at the half, the end found Roosevelt on the long end of a 40-38 score. We were upset in our next game by a strong delegation from Blewett. Blewett had one of the strongest teams that they have had in years, and despite a game and gallant battle by the Rough Riders, Blewett won the verdict by a 30-25 score. Our next game was with Cleve- land, and the team took us in their stride by winning 33-20. january 26 found the Roosevelt cagers breaking their losing streak by downing South- west 3l-25. Roosevelt showed more skill in this game than in any of the preceding ones. The next game was with the strong and swift Central team. This game was one of the most thrilling games of the year, the score changing several times. Trailing by one point in the last minutes of play, Wayne Fied- derman took a very long shot: it was good. This shot enabled the Rough Riders to win a closely matched game, 30-29. Our next game was with our rivals from McKinley, whom we humbled by a 35-25 score. On the last day of the season the always-powerful Beaumont team defeated the Rooseveltians by a 4 l-26 score. All games were played at St. Louis University Gymnasium. Letters were awarded to the following: Captain Ed Hoffmeister Gerald Keller Don Taylor Fred Ruch Wayne Fledderman Clyde Gradolf Fred Ruch was high scorer for Roosevelt and ranked very high with the other boys in the league. We are looking forward to a great year in I946. LEO HESSELBERG HAROLD DIXON Q.: i lf' . N! One Hundred Nl-l7t'lt'i'U SWIMMING TEAM Coach: C. I. Linhart jan. to june, 1945 Sept., l945, to jan., I946 Ca tains: R' h John Carson Robert Haralson The swimming team's regular practice starts the first of Octob son lasts until the State Meet in early March. During the season, dual meets telegraphic meets, and our annual feud with Western Military are held Because we were the defenclin Cit d St Ch p IC ard Newman g y an ate ampions last year and be- cause we suffered unusual losses to the Service, e b very meet was itterly con- tested. We won every dual meet, however, bowing only to the larger Beau- mont ancl Blewett teams. The competition was very keen this year. Roosevelt tied for first with Beaumont in Washington University Relays, tied for third with Cleveland in the City meet, cl t' cl ' h M an ie wit cKinley for second in the State Meet. These Roosevelt men won points in the State Meet: IOO-yard breast stroke-Lewis, fourth. 200-yard free style-Neuman, third. Diving-Kraehe, second. Om' Hundred TlL'PHly er: the sea- l50-yard medley relay-Yeager, Kraehe, Haralson, fourth. 200-yard free-style relay-Carson, Skaggs, Wineke, Neuman, second. The lettermen returning for this year are: Co-captains Bob Haralson and john Carson, Bob Lewis, Gene Yeager, and ,lim Skaggs. We share the belief with Coach Linhart that these boys, especially, will be developed into a powerful quinet. With this nucleus, rest assured Nlr. Lin- hart will produce an even stronger team from fellows like Risse, Sloop, Simp- son, Cahoun, and the others who showed such splendid possibilities last year. A real swimmer has no special season. lf he expects to improve his stroke, his rhythm, his co-ordination, and to keep his body smooth and supple, he must practice the year round. Never can he be removed from the feel of the water too long. The skill and endurance developed by these boys will benefit them for many years to come. As young men, it will provide them with a pleasant summer relaxation, as older men, it will keep their bodies young. Now its importance is doubled to the swimmer in the Service. His will be a job of special usefulness in training his buddies not to fear the water-but to respect it. Yes, a swimmer is made, not born. lf you would be one, why not get in and Practice? ROBERT KRAEHE 111:13 lviuall . lg? t 7 7 R ii 'xii I- TENNIS-1945 This year's team was not so successful as we had hoped it would beg but the team proved time and again that they had the Rough Rider spirit and put up a good battle to the end. Roosevelt ended in a tie with McKinley High School for sixth place, winning seven and losing twenty-eight of the matches. The members of the team were as follows: No. l and Captain-Leo Nloult. No. 2-Ralph Boeffer. No. 3-Warren Wiethaupt. First Doubles-Robert Dingler and Bill Frietag. Alternate Doubles-Fred Ebersbock and Heinz Gros. Members of the team deserving special recognition are: Moult, who was outstanding in the singles, winning two and losing five: Ebersbock and Gros, who, as alternate doubles team, had a fine record of winning four and losing three. Our congratulations to the Roosevelt Tennis Team of l945. They did not win the title of Champions, but their sportsmanship and enthusiasm were, at all times during the season, of the highest measure. RAY SCHAINKER BlL.l.. GEISLER One Hundred Twenty- one r V1 . ffllyf Nils' 15,1 if , xt' IA! A ai .. BASEBALL Roosevelt's baseball team, after getting off to a slow start in practice and in league games, finished the season with a strong drive which brought them into third place in the Public High League. Coach Carlson was faced with the task of organizing a baseball team with only three lettermen returning from last year's squad. ln order to see what the new boys would do under fire, the coach scheduled twelve practice games before league play started. Roosevelt won only three of their practice games, but these games served the purpose of giving the coach an oppor- tunity to pick the team and giving the new boys the necessary experience. ln league competition the Rough Riders had a record of four wins and three losses, the best in some years, and finished third in league standing. The Riders had a bad start, dropping the opener to the Soldan Tigers 5 to 2, and losing the second game to Cleveland, the ultimate league champs, I5 to 9 in extra innings. Roosevelt then put on a drive which for two weeks Um' llumlrn! iliU.'t'l7lll Iwo made them the hottest team in the league. ln rapid succession they defeated Southwest I4 to 0, Blewett 8 to 2 in extra innings, and McKinley 9 to 7. The Central Red Wings ended the Riders' winning streak by handing them a I l to I0 defeat in a slugfest at Fairgrounds Park. The season was brought to an exciting climax when the Riders defeated the Beaumont Blue-jackets 3 to 2 in the most exciting game of the season. This victory put Roosevelt into third place and knocked Beaumont from first into a tie for second. At the beginning of the season the Rough Riders were weak at the plate, but in the drive to the finish the team came through with strong hitting attacks in every game. The backbone of the team, especially in the early part of the season, was our strong mound staff. Capt. Ray Smith and Gerry Davis bore the big part of the work, with Wally Ulmer coming in for relief rolls. Coach Carlson is very proud of his boys because of the way they developed from a group of unorganizecl and inexperienced ballplayers, into a team, which by the end of the season, was the best in the league. Most of the team will be back next year, including our strong pitching staff, and the coach feels confident that they will be able to take on all comers and bring the championship to Roosevelt. The following is a list of the boys that received letters.

C One Hundred Twenty-thru' THE TRACK ASSEMBLY Bright and hopeful, Roosevelt students met gaily in the auditorium at ten-thirty, June l, l945, to see the enthronement of their newly-elected track queen and to cheer the team which will endeavor to win the annual Track and Field Meet this afternoon. The auditorium was hushed quickly as five trumpeters marched briskly upon the stage to announce the entry of the royal procession, and, as all eyes were turned to the back of the hall, the maids of honor-Betty Howard. Lois Ballard, Norma Reid, Ann Applebaum, Cnloria Cunningham-entered and walked slowly down the center aisle to the stage where they placed themselves one by one on both sides of the royal throne. At last the new queen, C-ladys Schaefer, entered and, amidst thunderous applause, was accom- panied to the throne by the mayor: whereupon Dorothy Knudsen, acting as representative of last year's queen, Mary King, abdicated in Queen Gladys' favor. ' Coach Kuntz informed the students which sections Roosevelt would occupy at the stadium and the advantages of our position. Next, Coach Van Reen gave a brief talk on the strength and weakness of the team and the probabilities of our winning. He then introduced the indi- vidual members of the team, giving the qualifications of each. The captains of the senior and junior divisions, Bill Applebaum and Charles Fry, then spoke. Captain Fry, in thanking both coaches for the help and encourage- ment they have given the team, presented each with a gift on behalf of the team. Mr. Hill requested that Roosevelt be well represented at the stadium and that those attending cheer the winners and jeer no one. The session ended with the singing of our Alma Mater by the entire student body.

Their hearty cheers, both in the auditorium and at the stadium, proved to be a continual source of encouragement to the Rough Rider team. Hopes were high that the cindermen might regain the track title and continue their glorious list of fourteen such victories, but fate smiled the other way, and Roosevelt bowed to Beaumont, I03 5, I4 to 65 4, 2I. The Seniors Finished second with 36 points, and the juniors were third with 29 4 ZI points. No records were established as the cindermen had a strong head-wind.

The Roosevelt Rough Rider football team capfured not only the Public High School Championship, but also the St. Louis District Championship. Our great line, which undoubtedly was the chief factor in our success, was composed of Bennett and Stendel, ends: Layne and Captain Killmar, tackles: Hixson and Parrott, guardsg and Gradolf, center. Fleddermann, Becker, Hill, and Ruck and Harvey formed our high-scoring, speedy, powerful backfield. Fleddermann, the director of our offensive, led the Public High School League in scoring with sixty-seven points. Becker and Ruck each scored several touchdowns. The first game of the season was a I9 to IZ victory over McBride. Roose- velt scored its first touchdown on a pass from Fleddermann to Bennett, ln the second half the Rough Riders scored twice on brilliant runs by Fledder- mann and Becker, who dashed 75 yards to score. The second contest was played with St. Louis University High. The Rough Riders dominated the play until the fourth period when St. Louis took advantage of a short punt to score and Won 7 to 0. Our first league game was played against Beaumont and was packed with thrills from beginning to end. After Beaumont scored. Fleddermann ran the kickoff to the 40-yard line and then raced through tackle, shook off would-be tacklers, and galloped 60 yards to scoreg he also plunged over for the extra point. ln the third period Roosevelt marched 70 yards for a touch- down on a pass from Fleddermann to Stendel and a series of smashing drives by Becker, who scored. Our final touchdown was scored by Fleddermann in a display of terrific power. Um' lliirnlfwl 'I hirlu 1 5 .X xx , Y - 'XXV 4' ' of 1 ., lc-,U Our sbcond league encounter was a I2 to 0 victory over Southwest. ln the first quarter Roosevelt recovered a Southwest fumble on the Longhorns' 45-yard line. Fleddermann and Becker advanced the ball to the 20, and from there Fleddermann smashed through right tackle to score. ln the third period a short Southwest punt and a 20-yard return by Ruck gave Roosevelt the ball on the Southwest 30-yard line. Becker, Ruck, and Fleddermann drove to the 5-yard line on runs, and Fleddermann plunged through center to score. Our third straight league triumph was over Cleveland with a score of 27 to 6. The Rough Riders took the opening kickoff, and a powerful ground attack by Bennett, Fleddermann, Harvey, and Becker advanced the ball to the Cleveland 8-yard line. Then Becker raced around right end to score, and Fleddermann converted for the extra point. Early in the second quarter Roosevelt started another drive from its own 39-yard line with Becker and Fleddermann pacing the attacks. Ruck smashed off left tackle to score. ln the second half two long passes from Fleddermann to Ruck advanced the ball to the Cleveland l l-yard line and Fleddermann dashed through the line to score. Later Fleddermann intercepted a Cleveland pass and returned it to the Cleveland 3l-yard line. Scarato dashed those 31 yards to score on a spinner off tackle. Our fourth contest was a 45 to 0 rout of Central. Early in the first period Harvey intercepted a pass of Central, and on the next play Becker ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Central, after being stopped, punted to the Roose- velt 37-yard line. Fleddermann spun off tackle and ran to Central's 25-yard line. Three plays later, Fleddermann smashed through tackle to score from the 3-yard line. A weak Central kick gave Roosevelt possession of the ball on Central's 25-yard line. Runs by Becker, Ruck, and Fleddermann put the ball on the one-yard line, after which Fleddermann scored. ln the third period two runs by Becker advanced the ball to Central's 27-yard line. Fleddermann sped around end 27 yards to score. Central threatened but was stopped on the Roosevelt's 4-yard line. From there Becker, Bennett, and Fleddermann made brilliant runs and moved the ball to Central's l 7-yard line. Harvey then dashed I7 yards on a reverse to score. A few minutes later, Ruck intercepted a Central pass and galloped 70 yards to score behind a seven-man interference. Near the end of the game, Loncaric heaved a 20-yard pass to Ruck who ran 35 yards for the final touchdown. The Rough Riders next defeated Soldan I8 to 6 for their fifth straight victory. ln the first period, Roosevelt took the ball on downs on Soldan's 43-yard line. After being penalized I5 yards, Fleddermann tossed a 30-yard pass to Ruck, who was tackled on Soldan's l8-yard line. Fleddermann threw another pass to Ruck who scored. Later, Cnradolf intercepted a Soldan pass deep in Roosevelt territory and ran the ball back to Soldan's 49-yard line. Fleddermann smashed his way to Soldan's I6-yard line, and Becker advanced the ball on two runs to the 2-yard line. Fleddermann plunged over for the score. ln the third period, Parrott received a Soldan fumble on Roosevelfs 2 l -yard line. On five smashing runs Fleddermann and Becker moved the ball to Soldan's 25-yard line. Becker dashed through the line 25 yards for a score. One Hundred Thirty-one On our final league game we were forced to play most of the game without the services of Fleddermann, who was sick, and as a result McKinley held us to a 0-0 tie. The game was very hard fought and on even terms until the fourth period when Fleddermann entered the game. Fleddermann's passes to Ruck and his and Becker's brilliant runs carried the ball to the McKinley one-yard line when the game ended. However, this game clinched the Public High Championship and determined that the Rough Riders would play in the District Championship. On Thanksgiving morning, 9,000 fans watched the Roosevelt juggernaut strike quickly in the second period to defeat Normandy I3 to 6. Hixson recovered a Normandy fumble on the Vikings' 25-yard line and Becker raced around end for I5 yards. On third down, Fleddermann threw a beautiful pass to Ruck. The second score was set up by Harvey's interception of a pass which he ran back to the Normandy Zl-yard line. A Fleddermann to Bennett pass moved the ball to the 6-yard line. Fleddermann smashed through the Normandy line for our final touchdown and victory. Our seasonis record is 7 victories, l loss, l tie. Roosevelt was selected as the outstanding team in the District, and received the Notre Dame trophy. Wayne Fleddermann, a speedy broken-field runner, good kicker, excellent passer and blocker, was chosen the most valuable player in the district and received the Gould award. On various all-star all-district teams Fleddermann, Bennett, Killmar, and Hixson were selected for the first team: Becker, Killmar, Layne for the second team.

One Hundred Fiflysonc MAN OF DESTIN Y ln the annals of time when a great nation is faced with a crisis, one man appears upon the stage of life to lead his fellow men out of the shadows. First to appear upon the scene was Washington, followed by jefferson, Lin- coln, and Wilson. Then came Franklin Delano Roosevelt, thirty-second President of the United States. Never before had so much confidence and faith been placed in one man. The fate of an entire nation rested with Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he did not fail. Mr. Roosevelt might well be compared with the Biblical character, Moses. For, like Moses, he was denied the satisfaction of seeing the fruition of his labor. For, on April IZ, I945, as American forces were taking the life- blood from the heart of the German empire, Franklin Roosevelt answered the call that comes to all men, death! Mr. Roosevelt's career was indeed a vivid one. He was educated at Har- vard and Columbia Law School. He practiced law in the city of New York, and in l9I0 was elected to the New York State Senate. He served as Assist- ant Secretary of the Navy during the first World War under President Wilson. He retired for a number of years, but in i928 he returned to politics and was elected the governor of New York and was re-elected in l930. ln l932, at the Democratic National Convention, Mr. Roosevelt was nom- inated for the Presidency of the United States and was elected to that office in November of the same year. The people had faith and loved their leader, for he was re-elected to the highest office in the land in I936, I940, and I944. Yes, Franklin Roosevelt is dead. But his spirit and ideals live on. They live on to spur the American people to final victory. Mr. Roosevelt was the champion of the little man, he was a friend to all. He worked for the masses as well as for the individual. He was truly a great man! Our President fought valiantly. He died fighting for our country just as surely as if he had fallen on the battlefield. He is fallen but not forgotten. For, as long as men fix their dreams and work toward the golden sunrise of tomorrow, Franklin Roosevelt will not have died in vain. He will know of his success and rest in eternal peace.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS CASKET BORNE TO ITS RESTINC PLACE QJHL' Hl1l'l1fH'Ll IIIIAIU Iflru' AMERICAN YOUTH PAYS TRIBUTE April I3, I945-Today, Roosevelt High School paused in its daily school routine to assemble in the school auditorium to honor and pay tribute to the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second President of the United States, as one of our nation's honored war dead. For Franklin Roosevelt died from this world struggle just as surely as if he had been carrying a rifle on the battlefield. The stage of the auditorium was appropriately decorated with greenery and cut flowers. The service itself was simple, dignified and impressive. lVlr. Hill, Roosevelt's principal, made a few introductory remarks, emphasizing the solemnity of the occasion. The Carol Club, under the direction of Miss Hilb, sang Schubert's immortal Ave lVlaria . Following this, Jack Smylie, president of the Senior Class, in a brief address stated that the greatest tribute we, the people of the United States, could pay our fallen leader was con- tinuing with renewed vigor the dream for world peace, the dream closest to the Presidenfs heart. Robert Winters, Roosevelt's mayor, also made a few Fitting remarks. Reverend T. S. Smylie led the entire assembly in a prayer for the nation in its time of mourning. Robert Schumacher sang The Lord's Prayer, and then the notes of Taps Hoated through the hushed auditorium. SHIRLEY HYNEK HAROLD DIXON HUGH MCNALLY Courtesy of Corporal George lleidemann. Um' Hundrvd lf1'fly-four MEMORIAL DAY Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light came from both heart and tongue of the whole student body assembled in the auditorium to honor those Roosevelt boys whose lives were given to insure our freedom. After a short address, Mr. Hill introduced the Rev. Paul Koenig of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, who spoke on the importance of Memorial Day to us. Tomorrow the nation pauses to pay tribute to the honored dead of our country. Memorial Day should arouse in us an increased devotion to that cause for which they died. What sacrifice can we make to equal those who sacrificed everything? On this eve of Memorial Day, we should ask ourselves if we are doing our best, our dead-level best: and if not, we should work harder until that best is achieved. The Carol Club played an important part in this impressive program. Standing on the stage, dressed completely in white, each carrying a single red rose, the members of this musical group presented a beautiful and stirring picture. Then came the roll call. Each girl, one by one, came up to an improvised altar set in the center of the stage, and, as she said the name of one of the fifty Rooseveltians who made the supreme sacrifice, she solemnly dropped her rose on the altar. The ceremony brought tears to many eyes. Following this, the Carol Club gave a beautiful rendition of Shubert's Ave Maria . Their performance contributed much to the service. Then taps were sounded in the stilled auditorium, and as its echoing strains were heard, this impressive Memorial Day service was completed.

Day. As was fitting and proper, Roosevelt commemorated the day with an auditorium session, not a jubilant one, but instead a very solemn memorial to those who died that we could enjoy a free existence. The program was opened by singing one verse of Cod Bless America , followed by the Pledge to the Flag led by the captain of the R. O. T. C., Edward Moore. The A'Cappella Choir in their crimson robes stood at the foot of the stage: one of the members, Robert Schumacher, sang The Lord's Prayer , which instilled a feeling of reverence in all of the students. Two other selections, Faith of Our Fathers and Battle Hymn of the Republic , were sung by the choir. The president of the Senior Class, Jack Smylie, read an appropriate poem written by a marine about what a service man wants to find when he comes home. A letter which had been written about the grief of those who have lost someone in the service and had appeared on the editorial page of a weekly periodical, was read by the mayor of the school, Bob Winters. A minute was devoted to silent prayer, and then Mr. Stanley Hill, our principal, read a prayer by Stephen Vincent Benet. The program was concluded by the sounding of taps by Robert Kelly. with the echo effect played by Norman Black. TG. aw. '.u'l.f 'xi' , -vik ll ...KV ..- Om' Ilumlrvd Fl-fill-Sill' MAKING OUT MY PROGRAM No, no, l can'tl Not again this year! But then, steeling myself against the inevitable, l realized that l simply must make out my program if l wished to continue in school this term. Tuesday morning, at 9:00 o'clock, l tripped into advisory meeting. My adviser wanted to give me a tardy slip, but, pressing it back into her hand, l explained that l didn't believe that this would be quite fair as we weren't having school that day. Leaving her with a puzzled look on her face, l pro- ceeded to my desk and read a novel until the second bell rang. Oh, well, l thought, as l left advisory, as long as l have to do it I might as well get it over with quickly. With that l walked briskly into my first registration room. Twenty minutes later, looking haggard and thoroughly beaten, l was standing in line in front of Miss A--'s desk. Please, Miss A-1-, l pleaded, l have to change Sociology to American Problems, and Physiog- raphy to Chemistry-unless, of course, you expect me to attend two classes at once. Her look was adamant, but she softened sufficiently to say, All right. lf you can get written permission from your adviser for those changes, l may consider them. Okay, l said, by way of thanks, and fled back to my advisory. Now it so happened that we had a substitute adviser that day, and it was no trick at all to get the required note. Five minutes later Miss A--- raised her head from reading said note. So, she said with a why-you-little-brat look in her eye, you got it, didn't you? All right. Give me your card. After this morale-breaking encounter, l went up to Mr. ,I-is room to sign up for American Problems. When l left the room l was staring with glazed eyes at my program card and repeating softly over and over again to myself, No, this can't happen to me. lt just can't -for who was to be my new American Problems teacher but . . . Miss A--I Ah, well, as a philosopher would say, 'isuch is life. MARY SPARKS M ,lil im One Hundred Fifty-seven I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY All the people associated with holidays can be described except St. Val- entine. Everyone knows how Santa Claus looks, and the Easter Rabbit, and even the Ground Hog has his public. But did you ever ask anyone to describe St. Valentine? l just don't see why he should be omitted. He's as impor- tant as any of those others l mentioned, and l think it's high time he was established as a definite personality. He must be chubby, with a little tummy like Santa Claus, because of his love of candy, in fact, l think those two must be quite a lot alike, since both holidays are used to exchange love tokens. He has fat, dimpled, pink cheeks, gay blue eyes, and white curly hair. He wears velvet knee breeches and jacket, scarlet naturally: and l think he must have rather effeminate tastes, because-well-uh-valentines always have a little lace peeping out. He certainly must be generous, since he shares his heart with everyone. l think the most important fact about him is the atmosphere he creates, like the valentine l remember so well, which l received in the second grade. l was thrilled, but l never found out who sent it, so it remained one of the unsolved mysteries of my life. It was a horrid folding contraption that opened up rather like a fan and a lot of little, folded, red paper roses jumped up at me. Probably if it had been any other kind of greeting at any other time, the shock of opening up the thing and having six paper roses leap out at me would give me a good case of jitters and nervous indigestion, but as it was a valentine and drowned in sentiment, l thought it was beautiful. So, though St. Valentines Day for some absent-minded husbands is only a worrisome opportunity to get into trouble, I suppose we should all be grate- ful for the air of gracious romance and gallantry cast over every gift till even a leaping paper posy looks lovely to some of us.

THE SENIOR AUD The graduating class of June, I945, proudly, and with great enthusiasm, presented its auditorium session during the seventh period on Thursday, May 24, I945. The rapid-fire action took place in O'Riley's Inn with four very unusual waiters, Bob East, Hugh McNally, Jack Smiley, and Bob Winters, in the starring roles. These four sang a very quaint song-original, of course- which contained such catchy phrases as lf you hit a watch with a hammer, that would be killing time and lf you take some bread from a baker, that would be stealing dough . Between choruses, the four characters would caper awkwardly, trying their best to keep in time with the music. Grace Skippy Lynn and LaVerne Pechan did a clever ballet to The joint ls Really jumpin' Down at Carnegie Hall . There were musical solos by Rosemarie Lippold on the accordion, David Edwards on the trombone, Hans lngelke on the piano, and a vocal solo by Lorraine ladresche. A quartet made up of Jean and Martha Huff, Marietta Wanless and Betty Winters rounded out the musical part of the aud. There was a tap dance by Marietta Wagner and a violent aclagio number by Marie Palmintere and Bob East. A lengthy magic act by the Great Barnsmelln, rather Bill Bornefeld, was the climax of the truly enjoyable program . Between the various acts, the waiters would pass along and hurl old, but still funny jokes, mostly about food and service, at their customers. Seriously though, the cast and the ones assisting worked very hard and succeeded in giving an aud of which the Seniors could be proud-and which the lower termers could remember. BOB WOLF MARY ANDERSON One Hundred Sixty-one THE SENIOR SEN D-OF F On Thursday evening, May IO, a semi-formal dance, sponsored by the class of june, I945, was held on the stage of our auditorium. Approximately three hundred persons, including Seniors, parents, alumni, and undergradu- ates, attended this only night dance of the term. Bob Kelly, a member of the class, led his own orchestra in popular dance music that was enjoyed by dancers and sitter-outersu alike. Bob and Gladys Schaefer shared honors for the vocal numbers. Scenery and potted plants covered the dull gym walls and made a fine setting for the orchestra which was seated between the two back gym doors. Colored filters over the stage lights gave a sufficient but soft light. The well-waxed Hoor was as smooth a dancing surface as one could desire. Those wishing to rest between dances found ample seats in the auditorium proper. The perfect functioning of the affair was clue to the hard work and cooperation of many persons. The Senior Social Committee, consisting of Hilda Davis, .lean Ruesing, Bob Meyers, Bill Butler, and headed by Clifford Williams, planned for weeks ahead of time. On the afternoon of the dance, the members of the committee, with other workers and school technicians, worked for three hours preparing for the opening strains of music. The evening was definitely a success, and sincere thanks are offered to all who helped make it so. BILL BUTLER THE MIGHTY SENIOR Who is the fellow that ushers the New Jay to the false elevator? Who is the fellow that tells New Jays the wrong side of the stairs to go down? Yes, and who is the fellow that tells New .lays that lunch checks without holes are no good? Now, who is it? Sure, we all know, and particularly the little New jay. Beware the mighty Senior! Now, little New Jays, there are three ways of telling the Senior from any other character at Roosevelt. The first Way l have already mentioned. That is when the Senior takes the New ,lay gently into his hands in such a parental manner and explains precisely where the elevator is. So the first termer goes gaily to the place directed, expecting a lift. He gawks. The result- a blank wall, a let-down feeling. His former Senior friend gives off a diabol- ical laugh. The second way of telling the Senior is by the airs he puts on. You might see him parading down the middle of the hall and chattering as if he owned the place, although l don't see why anyone would want to own a school. You might see a girl-Senior acting as if she was a Powers model. Somehow you just can't get that idea out of her head. The third way of pointing out the Senior, if it happens to be a meek, quiet Senior, is by his or her class button. After a pause, you ask yourself, ls the Senior really any mightier than l am? The answer usually is, ul don't think so, but he does. Now, remem- ber, little New Jays, some day you will be a Senior, too. Maybe.

September 6-Do you know how to act in the lunchroom? Which stairs to go up and which to go down? These and many other questions were answered by Mr. Hill in an aud session today. The entertainment was provided by Bob Schumacher singing God Bless America . As you know, today is the first full day of school. Are your noses already to the grindstone? They will be soon, won't they? Hm-m-m? September 7-During a short double aud between lunches, the editors of Rough Rider and Bwana were introduced. The content of these publi- cations were discussed, and everyone was asked to subscribe to a better- than-ever paper and year-book. September I0-Hurrah for Roosevelt!

September 20-You lucky, lucky New Jays. From this week forth you will have an aud session every Thursday, the first period. Sevens, open up1 your little money bags and pay for your Bwana picture.

September 29-Saturday. The rain of yesterday gave us a muddy field at Walsh Stadium. Despite a good Hght the Rough Riders lose to the Junior Billikens of St. Louis U. High by a score of 7-0. Calendar for October . October I-Did you notice all the people going around school all dressed up today? Of course, there must be a reason! There is: today is Bwana picture day. Today is the first day to attend the clinic for an X-ray picture of your chest. This is an opportunity to catch up with a disease in its first stages. So follow the schedule and be prompt. Seniors: Today is the last day to turn in button designs, photographs, and money for your Bwana picture. October 2-The X-ray pictures continue and many people have finally realized how photogenic they actually are. The girls' volleyball team meets for the first time today at 3:00 o'clock, and everything went bouncing along . October 3-Our annual football rally is held in the aud today, during the second period. It is successful, and now not only the team but also the entire student body are ready to meet Beaumont, Friday evening. Mr. Rost ex- pressed his belief that we would beat Beaumont and maybe, even strive on- ward to the league championship. The team is introduced to the student body, and then the coaches are cheered loudly. Buy a season pass and give Roosevelt the needed support this season as in previous seasons. October 4-During the sixth period today the president, vice-president, secretary and the members of the six standing committees are inaugurated. The Student Council is sworn in, and scholarship pins are awarded to the deserving students. Congratulations to them! Passes are sold in the advisory today, as usual.

Every- thing goes along fine and they have a bang-up time. The Seniors hold their first class meeting for this month in Room 30l at 3:00 p. m. Sevens: Today is the last day to pay for your buttons. This evening our powerful Roosevelt Rough Riders charge through their weaker opponents and beat Beaumont by the score of I9-6. Beaumont held the championship last year and was favored this year, so this brings the championship in sight of Roosevelt. Come on, teamg let's reach out and grab it. October 8-Do you see all those smiles Hashing around school today? Everyone is celebrating our victory over Beaumont. To stimulate further enthusiasm we have a pep aud at the close of each lunch. Good work, Rough Riders, keep it up, fellows! The Sevens' buttons arrive, and all the Sevens pile into Room 223 to get those cleverly designed buttons which are the emblem of the high rank of the great-to-be Seniors. The crimson and white button has a large seven on a background consisting of a horseshoe, two dice, and a heart and dia- mond. Proudly do the Sevens wear their new buttons. October 9-This week the lucky New ,lays have an extra aud. Mr. Bo- lander speaks on Art and lndustry. The other pupils devote their time to their studies. Today is the first meeting of lnterscholastic Debaters at 3:00 p. m. in Room 7. October I0-School today is highlighted for some pupils by the showing of the film Watchtowers of Tomorrow in the aud. History classes favored this very educational picture. Girls interested in badminton meet in girls' gym after school today, October I I--The Sixes hold their second meeting of the term to nominate class officers. Again Fire Prevention week has come and that man is here again. We do mean Captain Quinlivan of the Fire Department, who gives us an entertain- ing speech. Come on, Rough Riders, heed his words and work fifty-two weeks of the year to prevent fires. Come again, Captain: we'll always welcome your valuable talks. Today the New Jays have one of their most interesting auds of the term. Mr. Joe Causino speaks on Where Do We Go From Here? and then answers any questions worrying our little New Jays. October I2-Today is the first school dance of this term, The Rhythm Roundup. For only I0 cents many pupils turn out to try the newest steps in this Student Council dance. We have reason to be ashamed. The fun of football games is being marred by the disorderly and destructive conduct of a few pupils at and in transit to Public Schools Stadium. A letter from Superintendent Philip Hickey is read by Mr. Hill: and Coach Ross, Mayor Mueller, and Captain Killmar Om' Hundrvd Sixty-vlyht all urge the pupils to uphold the honor of Roosevelt and act like ladies and gentlemen. October I3-Hurrah, Rough Rider football team! Roosevelt crushes Southwest I2-0 for our second league victory. Wayne Fleddermann scores two touchdowns, and our great line and backs perform magnificently. October l5-Today the Bwana Staff holds its fifth consecutive meeting in Room 328.

October l6-Today, during the sixth period, Mr. William Harrison Fur- long, Director General of the Inter-American Highway Association, gives an interesting talk on the importance of good roads. He also shows us, through the use of sketches and maps, the construction problems involved in the build- ing of a highway between Laredo and Mexico City. He then concludes the program with an interesting and educational film, in technicolor, about Aca- pulco, Cuervauarua, Taxco, and other picturesque places. Today is Victory Stamp and Bond day. Buy all the stamps you can afford. Come on, Rough Riders: your support is needed now as much as ever. October I7-Today the second meeting of the Freshman Dancing Class is held at 3:00 p. m. in the auditorium.

As usual, the anxiously awaited Rough Riders are distributed today during the seventh period. October l8-A meeting of the Girls' Bowling Club is held at 8:30 o'clock this morning.

The New ,lays are introduced to the Science Department of Roosevelt. Which is your field-aeronautics, biology, physics, or chemistry? October I9-Final grades for the first seven weeks in today. Every- where you see those sweet, angelic-looking faces. Such expressions are re- served for only three times a term, of course. October 20-Cleveland High School, which claims to be the best school in the land, showed that it surely isn't the best as far as football is concerned. The mighty Rough Rider backs charge through their weaker opponents for their third consecutive league victory by defeating Cleveland 27-6 today. With the expert plunging of backs, Wayne Fleddermann and Louis Becker, it looks as though Roosevelt is on the way to the championship! October 22-Today the Bwana Staff members again make their weary way through a clear, crisp Monday morning to attend another important meeting. . One Hundred Sixty-nine Today is the start of a new seven-week period and time for all to really bear down on their studies and succeed. October 23-The day of gloom and groans is here again. The crisis is here and we receive our seven weeks' pay. What am l talking about? Why, report cards, of course. October 24-The Sixes have finally organized. The results of last Thurs- day's election have at last been published. Bob Wishon is president: Mary, Anderson, vice-president: Helen Frey, secretary: Joe Evans, treasurer, and Bob Hixson, sergeant-at-arms. Today we give back to our advisers our horrible presents of yesterday with a sigh of relief. Only twice more will we have to suffer from report cards. October 25-Today the musical organizations under the direction of Mr. Hahnel hold open house for parents and friends. The participants are choruses, orchestra, band, each playing or singing two numbers. The audience is treated to a fine program and afterwards has refreshments. The Sixes meet their officers in a short meeting. A button committee and a button design were selected. The New Jays' weekly aud is a combination of Navy Day rally and Victory Loan rally. Don Kimball speaks on Navy Day and Barbara Arm- strong tells the class of june, I949, of the necessity of continued buying of Victory Bonds. October 26-An auditorium session for all but freshmen. It is Navy Day. Don Kimball and Barbara Armstrong repeat their speeches of yester- day. We are honored to have as main speaker, Captain Raymond Hunt, a former Rooseveltian and a survivor of the infamous Death March . A'Cap- pella Choir sings and the Band plays. Then Mr. Hill gives a brief history of the remarkable career of Teddy Roosevelt, whose birthday is today and for whom our school is named. October 27-The Roosevelt Rough Rider football team won their fourth league game, crushing Central 45-0. Fleddermann scored three touchdowns: Becker, one: Ruck, two: and Harvey, one. Our high-powered attack con- stantly gained, and our massive, strong line overwhelmed all of Central's mild threats. It looks like a championship, as no one can stop the terrific offensive. October 29-Dental examinations begin today, to be sure that all Roose- veltians' teeth are in perfect condition. October 30-Miss Williams of Missouri Valley College interviews seniors who desire information about this college. October 31-Today is Hallowe'en, and this year many people will try to recapture the old spirit of Hallowe'en. We hope all Rooseveltians will do their part to observe Hallowe'en in its original joyful way. Calendar for November November l-Now we can consider the little New Jays intelligent. Who wouldn't be, after sitting through an aud given by the Mathematics and Latin departments? They seem to have enjoyed it, too, or are they too tired to move after last night? It was Hallowe'en, you know. Om' Hundred Seuenly One Hundred Sa-ucnly-one The Sixes hold a meeting immediately after school today. A wiener roast is being planned for their social. November 2-Oh, boy! Friday. School is out for two whole days and on one of them, Saturday, at 8:00 o'clock, Roosevelt will meet Soldan to determine the championship. Hold on to your hats, fellows! November 5-Yipee! We won! The Rough Riders gained an easy vic- tory over Soldan's eleven in a chilly Cbr-r-rl night game Saturday. Becker, Fleddermann and Ruck starred in making the three touchdowns. During the first quarter, the Soldan men came through for a touchdown. Both teams failed to make their extra points, the game ended with the score !8-6. November 6-Today the high and mighty Seniors have a meeting. No- vember 26 was set for the all-important measuring of those caps and gowns. The Senior Aud, one of the biggest auds of the term. is being planned, and a Senior Prom, outside of school, is being considered. Ah! those lucky Senaws . What fun! November 7-No smoking! That's what the aud was about today. All study pupils and Home Problems classes were invited to hear the talk. l be- lieve all Rooseveltians have been more cautious since the destruction of our beautiful stage curtains in the summer of I944. New fiberglass curtains have been ordered and are expected to be ready next term. From all indications, they are really going to be tops. So long for now: it's teachers' convention and a five-day holiday. Sigh? November I3-Good news! Roosevelt has captured the Public High School Football Championship. A crowd of 6,500 witnessed the hard-fight- ing McKinley Goldbugs hold the Riders to a 0-0 score. The game was par- ticularly exciting in the last five minutes of the game, when a McKinley punt gave Roosevelt the ball on the 20-yard line. Fleddermann and Becker carried the ball to the one-foot line-and, of all things, the gun sounded, ending the game! November I4-We surely have missed our dear old Rough Rider during our vacation. Such a paper! l do believe it gets better every edition. November !5-Vladimir Golschmann and the St. Louis Symphony Or- chestra visited Roosevelt today during the fifth and sixth periods. Students from Harris Teachers' College and McKinley High School occupied part of the balcony. The program included music of Beethoven, Mozart and Morton Gould. The last half of the program was lighter than the first half. A tre- mendous ovation was given to Holiday for Strings by David Rose. All the students enjoyed it much, and the program ended at 3:00 o'clock. November I6-Open house tonight. All parents are invited to attend and discuss their chi!dren's work with the teachers. At 8:00 o'clock a varied program will be presented in the auditorium: orchestral and choral selections under the direction of Mr. Hahnel and Miss Hilbg a Spanish scene by students of Miss Comfort's class, and a demonstration by Mr. Lorenzen's Apparatus class. Our guest speaker is Dr. Herbert O. Winterer. November !9-We celebrate our football victory of the year in an all- Roosevelt aud this morning. The manager of the St. Louis Public High Om' Hundrrfd St'L'Gl Il y - 1 wo School League, Mr. Walter W. Williams, congratulates our team and coaches, and speaks in behalf of this Thursdays benefit Thanksgiving game. A won- derful time is had by all. All this and a period and a half omitted, tool November 20--Student Council holds its meeting today during the sev- enth period because there will be no school Thursday, Council's regular meet- ing day. November 2 l-A turkey dinner with all the trimmin's is served in the lunchroom today. That's a sure sign that Thanksgiving is near. November 22-Today is Thanksgiving.

' v One Hundred Seventy-three NINE OF US There are almost as many types of pupils as there are pupils, for each has an individual personality. l shall not attempt to describe them all, but l shall endeavor to sketch a few common to every class room. First, there is the star pupil who sits in his chair, gazes into the teacher's eyes attentively, and hangs onto every word she says. He recites often and always in a loud, clear voice. He always has his homework exactly right and is always prompt about handing it in. He never talks out of turn or contradicts the teacher, and Heuer asks- lVlr. B. or Miss C. to repeat. Out of one hundred students there is, perhaps, one such person. The other ninety- nine are equally as interesting, maybe even more so. The pupil familiar to all is the one who stays out all night and arrives at school at approximately nine-twenty every morning. He is in a stupor and remains in it for the first six periods in the day. During the seventh period he slowly revives, and at three o'clock he is fully awake. Bright and cheerful. he races from school for another gay afternoon and even gayer evening. The reason l say he is familiar to all is because he usually' stays in school for, at least, ten terms. Then, there is the 'igay blade of the class. He cracks jokes, makes supposedly funny remarks and has everybody in stitches . He draws car- toons, is Hip, and often lands on the bench outside the assistant principals office. Fate does strange things, perhaps, some day he'll be another Bob Hope. Another type is the student who sits in class every day and appears to be listening to every word the teacher utters, but his mind is miles away. This pupil is not 'ithe thinker but the dreamer . He's in a world all by himself and actually enjoys. it, He usually sits in the back of the room near the windows. His eyes have a soulful expression: his mouth relaxes and hangs open. He is extremely sensitive and must be handled with care, but often the kind of care varies. The next pupil, also, sits in the back of the room. He has a very large book in front of him and from the teacher's desk appears excited as he dutifully reads the assigned chapter, Economics Applied in l862 . His eyes bulge and he chews his package of Orbit as if it were the last bit of nourishment his body would ever receive. Touched by his sudden desire for knowledge, the teacher strides noiselessly to the enthusiasts desk. Cruel fate intervenes, and he joins company with the Ugay bladei' while his brand- new copy of Super Woman and 'ipython Man rests comfortably in the trash can. Then, of course, there's the belle of the school . This is the pupil who comes to school for the sole purpose of joining a sorority and collecting male friends. She never has her homework and doesn't care: in fact, she con- siders herself good if she gets by on four P's when she expected four F's. She giggles and bubbles enthusiastically all through study period and during class discussions, about her latest heart throb or that number she intends to wear to the next dance. ln order to stay beautiful, she spends all her spare time combing her hair and applying make-up. Om' llumirf tl Sa L'vnlt1-four Next comes the borrower, a very irresponsible person. He comes to class minus a book, pencil, eraser, homework, and anything else that is required. When asked where his book is, he is very vague about its being at home, in his locker, or some place. He's never really certain. Then he distracts the entire class, as he borrows a pencil from one person, some paper from another, an eraser from a third, and looks across the aisle at the book of a fourth. Present among us is the fresh-air fiend, a very athletic individual, who strides briskly into the room and slaps you on the back with a resounding thud. He then proceeds to throw open all the windows regardless of the extremely cold and windy weather without. He breathes deeplyg then goes to his seat on the opposite side of the room while you sit by the window with teeth chattering and papers blowing about. If looks could kill, you would, at that moment, be a murderer. The average pupil is a mixture of many things. He is neither perfect in everything he does, nor is he a juvenile delinquent. He is just an average, everyday student who lives a wholesome life, dividing his time in doing his studies and in taking part in healthy, clean activities. He is popular with both faculty and students alike. This average type of student will make and does make America the Most Above Average Country in the world. EILEEN HEFFERNAN JEANNE.

Trotter Gallup and his galloping Poll Cats, the typical New jay has been isolated like a strepto- coccus germ and held aloft for all the school to see. He is described as being four feet, fifteen inches tall in his blue-flowered gym shorts, and weighing ten stone, which includes the three pebbles in his shoes. He is rough and ruddy, well-biceped, rarely blushes, has four teeth missing from his pocket comb, and when last seen was carrying a Problems of Living book. The five things he likes best in order of preference are: girls, girls, girls, girls, and the Lone Ranger. He dislikes studies, Twos who razz him, and sweating out the lunchroom lines. The survey group, which in its tireless efforts to uncover data left no stone unturned fData is said to breed under stones at this time of year, has, as a final and crowning triumph, brought forth the living, breathing fat least, the body's still warm, typical New Jay-one Faunterloy Fudgebrain. Faunterloy was greatly chagrined by the fact that this token honor was not accompanied by a gift of some sort and said as much. or more. When l was selected 'Pin-up Boy' of my grammar school, he com- plained bitterly, l was awarded a rhinestone coupling for my zoot suit dog-chain. lt's worn out now. He added hopefully, uThey're not rationed, you know. Obviously this was hardly the gift for Faunterloy, so he was presented, in its stead and gratis, with a split lunch. Results of this survey in a thimble fnutshells are unavailable since they started using them as helmets for midgetsj are: Ninety-nine and nine-tenths per cent of the New Jays like girls in one form or another. Twelve per cent enjoy doing homework, but this figure has little value except as a gauge of honesty. One hundred one per cent would rather be higher in term. This figure includes one three-plus who insisted on being counted. ln the favorite foods line-up, hamburgers were picked first. Celery stalked in third, nor was stew to be kept down: it came fourth. No seconds, please. ln concluding, l might say the foregoing does not constitute an endorse- ment of rubber checks, beef balls, carbohydrates or split lunches.

Q I X gf? ai Om' Hundrvd Suuvnfy-six SUPERSTITION Superstition is defined as an irrational fear of the unknown or mysterious, proceeding from ignorance. Ir dates back to the earliest civilization and has continued up to modern times. Superstition was omnipotent in the ancient Greek and Roman republics. The Greeks never failed to consult the oracle on important occasions and always took heed of omens, such as an eagle flying overhead, or some other act of the animal world, or an occurrence in Nature, as a thunder storm. The Romans, besides observing omens in Nature, always consulted the Sibyl- line books in times of public calamity or upon the appearance of phenomena of Nature. The Romans also had a permanent board of Haruspices whose duty it was to examine the vital organs of sacrificial victims and then to interpret the will of the gods. These ridiculous ideas were bad enough, since unscrupulous, perfidious high priests could dictate the entire policy of a nation. But even more preposterous was the deifying of seas, rivers, brooks, trees, animals, and land. If a river Hooded a farmer's land, it was proof that he had offended the god of the river. Worst of all was the idea that commands given in a dream must be carried out. It would be most unfortu- nate if one dreamed he must jump into a roaring, raging stream or else incur the everlasting wrath of some god. How very sad it would be if one would anger the god of food and drink and thus destine oneself to starve to death! Perhaps these previous statements are exaggerations but super- stitions certainly played an important role in the life of Rome and Greece. Many of these idiotic notions died out after the Christian religion came into being, but others, equally impossible, took their place. The belief in witchcraft and black magic was very strong until about the eighteenth century and still lasts in primitive nations. l suppose the fact that black cats were witches' animals causes the superstition that misfortune occurs when a black cat crosses one's path. Educated men of the Middle Ages believed in magic, and for centuries chemists tried by incantations as well as test tube experiment, to change the baser metals into gold. l have ridiculed the past ages, but our civilization can not boast of free- dom from superstition. Even today, l945, many people are terrified by the appearance of a black cat: others refuse to walk under a ladder, and others positively know something dreadful will occur on Friday the thir- teenth. What point is there in any of these superstitious? The poor little black cat may have to cross your path to meet the boys, since it's his night to howl. Neither can l understand why Friday the thirteenth is con- sidered unlucky. The man who deemed it a bad day probably had to go to the dentist or else the finance company took away his furniture. However, there is a good reason for not walking under a ladder because there is a possibility of a paint can falling on your head and covering your face with paint. On some women, however, a little more paint couldn't even be noticed. Fortune-tellers, tea-leaf readers, and astrologers prey on weak characters who have let their belief in God become soggy. The first visit to a fortune- One Hundred Seventy-seven 6' if 0' 4 ' - - -Qcamr.. teller is merely out of curiosity. Madam Zomba tells you a few things, some of which are bound to happen, and one-two-three you're back to Madam Zomba for some more. You can't understand it: the woman is simply marvelous. You must tell some of your gullible friends, who like you, haven't anything better to do than run from fortune-teller to tea-leaf reader, and so the story goes. It might start innocently enough, but gradually the mind becomes more confused and twisted, and the outcome is vicious superstition which slowly eats at the heart of the heart of the person's Christian beliefs, like a horrible malignant cancer. The western world regards itself as Christian, followers of Christ and believers in His teachings, but are we really? How many of us go to fortune- tellers for a look into our future? just count the scores of people who make their living that way, and you will Hnd out. They are prosecuted by the law when their racket is discovered, but they spring up again, because some people just can't resist them. Taking all forms of superstition into consideration, we discover that they are all stupid and baseless. A good motto is: Don't be superstitiousg you're only displaying your ignorance.

BEHIND THE LITTLE GREEN DOOR When the awe-struck New Jay passes for the first time through the portals of Roosevelt, he begins to look about him to see in just what sort of a place the next four years of his life are to be spent. Across the corridor from the main entrance is the spacious auditorium. The halls are hung with all sorts of pictures, and beneath the pictures is a long row of little green doors. These little green doors and what is behind them is the theme of this essay. Every student from the lowliest freshman to the mightiest senior has, at one time or another, used the phrase, Oh, it's in my locker, in answer to questions concerning the whereabouts of books, papers or homework. Lockers are storage places for all sorts of things. The author's locker on one occasion contained a complete set of football equipment, one coat, one sweater, one pair of blue jeans, and in one corner even a book or two. Girls' lockers are used as hiding places for certain atrocious looking blue suits which girls are required to wear in physical education classes. The door of a girl's locker is usually adorned with a mirror and occasionally a photo- graph of a favorite crooner. We are told that no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time, yet some doubt is raised in our minds when we consider how much is put in that ridiculously small space behind that little green door. A freshman's locker is very neatly arranged. His coat is hung in an orderly fashion, precisely where it should be: the books are in place and the bottom is perfectly empty. The sophomore, on opening his locker, is likely to be greeted by several papers which flutter out on the Hoor from an overstuffed book. His gym clothes are on the bottom, but his coat is deposited on the hook with little or no variation from that of the freshman. The junior's books are to be found anywhere in the locker. Three or four sets of gym clothes are unceremoniously stuffed into the lower half of the locker. On top of the gym clothes is usually an odd assortment of magazines and various other odds and ends. On the shelf, of course, are the customary textbooks, and, in some small space regardless of size or shape, the coat is expertly shoved with all the finesse of one who has had more than two years of experience. The senior approaches his locker with all the wariness and cunning that he possesses. He opens the door quickly and steps aside to avoid any flying objects which may be hurled through the air due to internal pressure. After getting what he wants he crams everything imaginable into the locker until it is absolutely full, adds two or three more items, closes the door, and goes about his business displaying on his countenance a look of satisfaction and even triumph. Considering the facts that l have presented here, we must conclude that lockers are both necessary and strange. lmagine for a moment trying to figure out just what purpose a locker serves if you had no conception of its i One Hundred Seventy-nine f O00 use. lf, by some miracle, we should be able to peer into the future a thou- sand years or more, perhaps we would Find an archaeologist exploring the ruins of Roosevelt. He has just discovered a long row of metal cabinets and is debating furiously with a colleague whether they were used as mummy cases or as some ancient means of torture. The first argument, of course, is absurd, but the second does not miss the truth by much. for what student has not been mentally tortured by that last book or gym shoe that just won't fit in his locker? l N if BILL RUTHERFORD atgllwlb A - ' V Nix n 1 ll MLW Q W J .I il I VV f vel ' . ,- WXUV v l i ll M x, l x, .

I walked into my advisory just as the last bell was giving forth its fatal tone, when l was informed by my adviser that Mr. Hill, the principal, wanted to see me at once. Hearing that message sent a chill up my spine, and I thought to myself, What did I do now? I couldn't remember doing any- thing wrong since the beginning of the term. It was too early for that, so my curiosity increased. From my advisory I headed for the office. As I walked into Mr. Hill's office, I was greeted by Mr. Hill with a big smile, and then l didn't know what to expect next. Charles, he said, iii a cheery tone, you're going to give a short speech about our yearbook 'Bwana' in an auditorium session right after the third period. At this remark I thought-well, I didn't think, all I could do was to say in a feeble voice, I do? ' Yes, he said firmly but calmly. That's all. That was all, all right. I didn't know what to do. I had never spoken in the auditorium or to a large group before, and, to top it all off, I didn't even have a study period from that moment until l had to speak. There was no time in which to make and to learn a speech. I walked out of Mr. I-Iill's office in a daze and headed blindly for my first period class. All during my first, second and third period classes I was trying to listen to what the teacher was saying and plan my speech at the same time. lt seemed like only a few moments since l walked out of Mr. I-Iill's office when the bell to end the third period and begin the auditorium session gave forth its dreaded summons. I walked into the auditorium, climbed up to the stage, and nervously took my seat with the Mayor, the editors of Rough Rider, and my co-editor of Bwana. I was second last on the list of speakers and, while the other speakers were addressing the assembly, I was trying to remember the little that I had planned to say, but my mind kept going blank. All I could think of was what a predicament I was in. Then suddenly my meditations were inter- rupted by the calling of my name: it sounded at the time like someone calling me to my doom in a horrible nightmare. I stood up: my knees buckled: l sat down. l tried again and walked reluctantly to the microphone, which seemed a mile away. When l finally reached it, I opened my mouth, but nothing came out, and the sudden thought that ran through my mind was What am I doing up here? After some thought, I remembered and began to talk about the yearbook. After I had stuttered a few sentences, someone in the rear shouted, I can't hear ya! Upon this remark I grabbed the microphone, pulled my shaking body to it, and shouted a few more sentences which echoed and re-echoed throughout the auditorium. Then I turned and staggered back to my seat, leaving a track of perspiration behind me and hoping that I would never have such an experience again. CHARLES GEISEL One Hundred Eighty-one THE ANNUAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of its well-known conductor, Vladimir Golschmann, gave its annual concert at Roosevelt for the student body on November I5. The concert, sponsored by the St. Louis Board of Education, was the last in a series played in five high schools of this city. Since the orchestra was enlarged this year, it was able to present works which required more instruments. Most of the music, ranging from Grieg's ln the Hall of the Mountain King to David Rose's Holiday for Strings , proved to be familiar to the majority of the audience. At the conclusion of the classical numbers, Mr. Golschmann explained the importance of the various instruments in the orchestra. After he told about each, the principal of that section of the orchestra gave a demonstra- tion on his instrument. This portion of the program was enlightening to many who had not previously heard the instruments singly. ln response to the tremendous applause of the audience, an encore, Stars and Stripes For- ever , was played. We, the students, wish to extend our appreciation to the Board of Educa- tion and the orchestra for so great a privilege. We hope that the same enjoyment will be offered us again in the near future. Following is the program as presented: PROGRAM. Beethoven . .

It need not be spec- tacular, such as that displayed on the battleheld. It can be a quiet kind of courage, so unobtrusive as to pass unnoticed. True courage stems from within and signifies more than mere daring. There is courage of the mind and the spirit, as well as of the body. The person who daily strives, through sheer determination and will power, to conquer a fear or overcome a handicap, is exhibiting real courage. An example of this is the small boy of foreign birth, who doggedly trudges to school day after day, despite the taunts and jeers of his fellow classmates. Another example is that of the victim of paralysis, who finds mere living a struggle, yet continually tries to maintain a cheerful outlook. This atti- tude is true of all the physically afflicted who refuse to allow themselves to be beaten by life, Few people realize the spirit necessary to marshal one's resources to victory, and the tremendous effort required to carry it through. Yet such a person must learn to rise above discouragement and lift himself to meet and overcome the challenge of failure. Courage is often measured in terms of self-sacrifice and silent fortitude. The best example of this is the day by day courage of our mothers, a courage based on love and devotion. The mother who shares her children's heartaches and tears, who comforts and leads, is not only displaying unsel- fishness and love, but courage as well. It is hard to say on what courage is based. Who can explain how a timid doe can assume the ferocity of a tiger when her fawn is threatened, or why a barnyard hen will Hy into the face of a strange dog that frightens her brood? Almost any mother will show courage in the face of danger to her young. Courage is often acquired through the years. It may spring forth sud- denly, summoned by emergency, or develop slowly through the trials and tribulations of life. The courageous are sometimes the pioneers. They belong to every nationality, race, color, and creed. They are the people who travel unbeaten paths, often scorned, ridiculed, or ignored. These are the people who open new avenues of thought and method, who bring forth new ideas, or who cherish dreams and carry them forward to realization. The pioneer is not afraid to broaden his horizon, make new decisions, or change old beliefs. He knows how to face the truth squarely, to acknowledge his mis- takes, and he stands ready to correct them. The courageous surmount obstacles by making of them stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. GENE LORRAINE DUGCAR ff ' af Ono Hundred Eighty-four BOOKS Who are your favorite characters in fiction? Did you ever visit the lonely desert island with Robinson Crusoe? Perhaps you've wandered through the forests of England with Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. No doubt, you have trudged up the mountainside along with Rip Van Winkle and slept for twenty years, and sailed the seven seas with one of the bold pirate captains under the skull and crossbones. Now, none of us has actually done all these things, but books serve as our highway to romance and adventure, and through them we have exciting experiences and meet interesting and famous people. Our magic carpet is books, and we can journey to all those fascinating countries of the East or into the heart of blackest Africa simply by opening the covers. No magic word is necessary. Reading is not only a delightful pastime, but a means of education as well. Education, in the days before printed books, was a tedious job. Most knowledge was committed to memory or else carved by a slow process in stone or inscribed on parchment. imagine carrying a stone book around with you, or a roll of parchment! How much easier it is for us to learn, with our books and modern libraries, than for children of ancient times, who had only their memory and stone tablets to rely upon! A whole new world is placed before us by opening a book, and the gap bridged between the educated and uneducated man. Let's open those books we have and make a promise to ourselves to read at least one new book a week- BERNICE Norvssr 4: t is SUSPENSE She opened the letter anxiously, read quickly and nervously, and then fell into a faint. Her husband came into the room, picked up the letter, and read it quickly. As he finished, his face turned white, and he slumped into a chair. Slowly the color came into his face, and his wife returned to consciousness. They stared at each other in amazement. They picked up the letter, but still could not believe its contents. Believing their eyes were deceiving them, they ran next door to a neighbor, to whom they handed the letter. She read the letter and gasped, she stared at her two friends, not knowing what to say. The letter was to an uncle and had been received at the wrong address. The three people quickly ran to their automobile and drove to the uncle's house. Nervously they handed the letter to him. Just then a gust of wind came along and blew the letter into a pile of burning leaves. When they reached the leaves, the letter fell into ashes. FRANK KRIEGE One Hundred Eighty-five THAT IMPORTANT MENDACIOUS ELEMENT Space, time, and matter have been offered by some philosophers as the primary concepts of our universe. It has been the common policy of man- kind to accept these in the simplest terms, as stable quantities without the irregularities attributed to them by such eminent scientists as Einstein. These basic conceptions of our environment have suffered severe shocks during recent months. First of all, last August, the astonishing news of the devel- opment of the Atomic Bomb struck the unsuspecting world. With that breath- taking event, matter became subject to change without notice, as the bus schedule so proficiently states. Several months later we became aware of a metamorphosis in another integral part of our universe, namely time. Our first notice came when Day- light Saving ended, and everybody was presented with an extra hour. lt seemed like a victory present from Uncle Sam. Now, one hour may seem like a short period of time when compared to the human life span, but the total amount of extra time was l 30,000,000 hours or, roughly, l 5,000 years- about l0,000 more than the age of civilization. For the last few years Uncle Sam has been recognized the world over for his philanthropic policies, especially lend-lease, and this gift comes right in line. Perhaps you will ask, Where did Uncle Sam get all this surplus time? That's simple. Where does Uncle get everything he gives away? Uh-huh, that's right. From john Public. Remember 'way back in l942, on that dark, cold February morn when he collected an hour from every patriotic citizen to aid the war effort? Of course, a hide-bound Republican would denounce this action as administrative bunglingn, since the hour was taken at a time when, as the sign in Room 203 says, Every Minute Counts . Even if this is true, it is still a wonderful accomplishment. Just think of it, borrowing an hour, keeping it for three and one-half years, and then returning it in as perfect a condition as ever. During the war, largely due to the War Bond campaigns, people have become very thrifty-minded. This frugality applied not only to money, but to many other things, such as rationed items, irreplaceable goods, and, yes, even time. Time-saving devices have become very popular during the war and will become even more so in the post-war world, since people will become more time-conscious. Time has marched on since the creation, but will it continue to do so to the end of time? Let us glance forward a few decades to the year I9X6 and see what we shall see. All set for the journey? Remember, no cameras or watches allowed! We are now not only in an atomic age, but also in an age in which time has taken on an unprecedented importance. Mankind has departed from the conventional, rational system by which everybody had twenty-four hours a day to dissipate regardless of his needs. This plan never did seem fair, since some people were always pressed for time, while others never used more than half the day efficiently. Om' Hundred Eighty-s1'x Years ago when a country produced more of a commodity than it could use, it would sell the surplus to another country, which in turn had an over- supply of an article that the first country needed. ln l9X6 this principle has been applied to time through the wonders of modern science. Any extra time is easily marketed to less fortunate individuals. The commercial uses of extra time are almost unlimited. For example, a radio station is no longer limited to twenty-four-hour broadcasting, but, by buying extra time, can stay on the air thirty-six, forty-eight, or even more hours a day. lf a train is delayed for an hour or two, it can easily gain this time from a reservoir at the next station. The reservoir can be replenished either by buying time on the market or by depositing any time saved by the atomic streamliners. ln fact, time is then so popular that it takes flowery-worded commercials to persuade people to give up time. Many people refuse to sell their time out- right, but use a different system. When turning on the radio to get the morn- ing news, one may hear the following: Friends, do you have time on your hands? There may come a chance later on in your life when you can put this time to a profitable use. Come to the Last National Bank and investigate our 'Time Deposit Plan'. Time will be accepted in any denominations, including hours, halves, quarters, minutes. One hour opens an account. Present interest rates: one second per hour. Like other commodities, time often becomes a slow seller at certain seasons, and we find advertisements with the opposite aim: Do you have indigestion, a stomach upset resulting from improper eating habits clue to a shortage of time? Are you another Bumstead? Be on time all the time. Get a loan from Last National. Remember, you, too, can live on borrowed time. lt used to be a simple thing for historians to give the length of a warg for example, World War l lasted four years and World War ll lasted six years. Now, if there ever be another war, historians would have a tough time, since country A might pour sixteen years into a struggle to subdue B, who resisted for only four years, although aided by an ally, C, who struggled for twenty- four years. f Time Conservation has reached down even to children. Time has taken on a new meaning at good old R.H.S.g for example, that New jay who insists on .wasting that last five minutes of a study period while everybody else from Term 2 on up to the magnificent Seniors is busily studying, glances at the sign in Room 203, which now reads Every Second Counts . RICHARD NOTVEST. One Hundred Eighty-seven 0 A' THE NAMES ON A SCHOOL-ROOM DESK It is truly amazing how many people you may get to know merely by looking at the top of a school desk. An experienced Desk Reader can tell just what sort of a person joe, john, or Dot might be. For instance, Ray, who saw fit to engrave so indelibly on the desk where I am writing, is an artistic fellow who beautifully decorated his name with leafy vines. Whether they are morning glories or poison ivy, I am not sure, but they are probably the latter since I judge him to be a senior. UR. is a mathematician, or perhaps I should say he is not, for the complicated equations carefully lettered on the top of the desk were most likely put there in preparation for a tyrannical mathematics teacher's exami- nation. Mary I... is, no doubt, by now a very unsuccessful girl, for back in 'thirty-five fnineteen, of coursej she saw fit to scribble unsightly, meaning- less designs upon her desk during history class. My, my, absolutely no artistic ability. lVI. V. will probably some day be a top-notch cartoonist, for while at Roosevelt, his very apt caricatures of his study hall teacher are excellent. The bright eyes and cheery smile fin a ducky sort of wayj on a fac- simile of Walt Disney's famous character reflect the joy in the heart of another free artist, happy, no doubt, because he passed all his subjects on the last judgment day. Now, as I hastily scribble notes upon my desk in preparation for a science exam, I hope that the next occupant of this seat will enjoy knowing me as much as I have enjoyed the acquaintance of those before me. Incidentally, I also hope that I don't get caught. ROBERT WOLF A VISIT TO A STORE AROUND CHRISTMAS Would you like to be a child again? Sometimes you wish you were a lot older, but there are times when you wish to be young again. One of these rare times is when one sees the bright-eyed youngsters shaking a certain man's hand and staring at him in awe, sitting on his lap relating their Christmas wants in low whispers. Who is this marvelous man that is the children's idol? Why, it's Santa Claus, that wonderful, colorful, bearded figure who, we used to think, slid down the chimney to leave us part of his year's work of toys. His creations are now all around us, mechani- cal wonders, post-war models of cars, planes, trucks, games, chemical and electrical sets, all of the Christmas time things that we teen-aged old fogies used to enjoy. Remember how, when we'd see three Santa Clauses in one day, Mother used to say, Oh, there's all his helpers? Remember the way Santa would assure you he would not forget you if you were good? Remember how nervous you were on Christmas Eve and how little you slept that night? Remember how happy you were on Christmas when you saw the tree with all its tinsel, star lights and ornaments, the train clashing around its base, tooting at every stop? Don't you wish you could see the wonderful shows in the downtown stores and get those surprise packages? These are times I wish I were young again. Don't you?

Harry Mauer was its able director. When Harry graduated last January, Bob Kelly took his place. As both moderator and Bob wanted a bigger band, an audition was held and more talent selected. alfa S SA 0 aj six?

Z Zfiyaff, L t . oLClAlQh ' ' F U 71' llumilml Nlnrlu Fortunately, most of the boys played in dance bands outside of school and, therefore, had some experience in playing popular music. Bob had his own band so he had a very good idea of what it was like, getting players together for rehearsals, buying the right kind of music, and doing the various other jobs of a band leader. Usually they rehearsed at 3:00 o'clock, but rehearsals were few and far between as most of the boys worked after school. At that time, the boys behind the saxes were Gene Winterman, jim McMurray, Billy Williams, and Don Smith. The trumpets were manned by Bob Connors, Norman Black, Les Chamberlain, and Bob Kelly. Phil Koch took care of the trombone section, while Tommy Rinehart was at the key- board. And with Arlington Henry at the drums, we had a very fine line-up of musicians. Another person who blew a wicked horn in Roosevelt's swing band was Gene Murray, who had never taken a lesson in his life. He claims that all you need to handle a horn is a lot of wind. The band progressed rapidly, developing a large repertoire and becoming versatile in its style. lt played at many of the dances and other school affairs. Last June half of the band graduated, and it has been impossible to replace them. That is why we have no swing band this term.
