It is an age-old story, and one that will endure so long as we recognize and believe in moral right. To this story our gallant sons gave their full measure. The symbols in the plaque are significant. The eagle, centering the design at the top, is the emblem of our country, the champion of freedom under which these boys lived and for whom they sacrificed their lives. The eagle is firmly supported by the principles over which it stands guarduwith outstretched wings. Firmly clasped in its talons are the standards of four furled Hags. Each one of these symbolic of one of the Four Freedoms-the moral rights for which this war was fought, and for the perpetuation of which these boys died. Below the eagle and the flags, and linked with them, is a laurel wreath. This has always been the symbol of honor and distinction, and is here justly awarded to our boys who gave their last full measure of devotion for their country and for the ideals of freedom for which it stands. ln low relief and forming a background to the main design is a replica of our school. This is so placed that its open portal is encircled by the laurel wreath. Here, within our spacious halls, these boys received their training. Here they learned to love their country and their fellowmen. Leav- ing through the open portal, they entered the service of their country. They carried their lessons with them and through their heroic deeds and sacrifice brought honor upon themselves and to all of us. Below the design proper is the memorial caption, IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO CAVE THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ll. lmmediately below this, and just above the names, there are two sprigs of acacia. These are emblematic of eternal life, here symbolizing the hope that the principles for which these boys lived and died will live on forever. As a border to the entire plaque there is a band of laurel leaves held together by intertwining ribbons. This binds the parts together into one unified whole, which is to symbolize the thought that training, moral right, courage, service, and sacrifice bound together will carry the Four Freedoms ever onward, and that these sons of Roosevelt whose names are cast on this bronze plaque, will be ever remembered and honored for their services and sacrifices in the cause of Freedom. A From the top center of the border, overshadowing all else, a solitary star shines down. This bears mute testimony to the fact that these gallant Sons of Roosevelt made the supreme sacrifice for their country and for the ideals of the Four Freedoms. And now as we dedicate this memorial plaque to the memory of our gallant sons, let us also dedicate our hearts to the Four Freedoms, to which all men are justly entitled, and for which our boys gave their lives. So dedicated, their sacrifices shall not have been in vain. W.

T f Q5 tw l You finally received your BLUCIULI this afternoon. As you hurriedly look at the pictures of your friends, and probably of yourself, we hope that you get as much satisfaction in reading it as the staff did in preparing it for you. We hope that your yearbook, with its pictures and other interesting material, will give you a high, firm, and profound school spirit, not to be underrated by anyone, and will preserve school day memories long after your high school graduation, and for many years into your adult life. The three people who do the most worrying and work are our moderators, Miss Nerud, Miss Burke, and Miss Laura Solfronk. Under their planning and foresight, the Bwcma moves along at a steady and even stride. Meetings are held in Room 328 every Monday or every other Monday morning, according to the amount of work that is to be completed. Roll call is answered by contributions to the calendar. The meetings are not especially long, and all of the staff members are usually present. Major items among the staff's duties are writing essays, making panels, writing more essays, arranging pictures, and writing still more essays. Most of us, know that Bwana was the name given to Theodore Roose- velt by the natives of Africa and means Big Chief. We hope that this word has just as much meaning for our work: that our annual is the big chief of all high school yearbooks. MARVDJLANDGRAF Seventy BWANA Moderators: Miss L.. A. Nerud, Miss L. B.

This year we welcome lVlr. Clair Houston, who comes to Roosevelt 'to take over the football and basketball coaching duties. We were sad to lose Mr. Rost, but are glad we have such an able replacement in Mr. Houston. Mr. Lake and Mr. Van Reen assist with football training. The remainder of the staff is unchanged. Mr. Van Reen coaches trackg lVlr. Neumann, swimming: Mr. Carlson, baseball: Mr. Lorenzen, tennis and apparatus. All the sports are under the supervision of Mr. Neeb, head of the athletic department. Roosevelt is proud to have so fine a group of coaches. Under their able direction we can look forward to many more victories in all fields of sports. ARTHUR BOETTCHER as One Hundred Six BASKETBALL Writing finish to the end of one of the most successful basketball seasons Roosevelt has ever had, the team ended with a record of eighteen victories and four defeats. l-leretofore, basketball has more or less been a sideline sport at Roosevelt, but has gradually edged itself into the limelight, reaching a new high with this year's record. Opening our schedule with a pre-league game, the team traveled to St. Charles, Missouri, to take on St. Peter's and to win handily by the score of 44 to IB. Next we defeated C. B. C. in another tune-up game 53 to 30. ln our first league encounter with the Soldan Tigers, the Rough Riders didn't spare the spurs in ringing up a convincing 50 to 37 score to win. During the holiday week, the annual Normandy Christmas Tournament was held at the Vikings' Gymnasium. Roosevelt drew Ritenour in a first round game and led by Milton Edward's I8 points and Marv Stendel's I3 last half points, defeated the plucky little team 50 to 34. Roosevelt had little trouble downing a Webster Groves team 31 to I8 in the second round games. Playing what was probably our best game of the tournament, and one that was close all the way-the Rough Riders, sparked by Gene Edwards and Marv Stendel's ten points apiece, hung out in front to win 39 to 31 over Springfield, Missouri. The Riders led all the way, but the margin was never more than two points until the last quarter. ln the final round for the championship of the Green Division, Cleveland was our opponent. For the New Year's Eve fans who were present, it was undoubtedly the most thrilling of all. Trailing by three points with about fifteen seconds left, Marv Stendel went in for a set-shot and was fouled as the final buzzer sounded. With the game over and the title in the balance, Marv calmly sunk the two free throws to give us the Green Championship for 1946 by the score of 42 to 4 l . Back to league play in the new year, the Riders took a 43 to 26 victory from a McKinley five. Our next game was with Beaumont. Essentially a team affair on both sides, it was closely fought all the way with the Blue- jackets on the long end of a 34 to 31 score. High scoring honors went to Milton Edwards with I5 pointsg john Schneider and Marv Stendel stood out on defense. We continued our losing ways in our game with Cleveland, who avenged their Normandy loss by trimming us 52 to 43. Meeting a strong Southwest quintet in a fast, clean game, we hit the winning ways with a Well-earned 36 to 32 victory. We journeyed out to the Normandy Gym and our third defeat in four games as the Vikings took us into camp with a 46 to 37 win. Back in our Public High League, the Central Redwings were our opponents and we had a rather easy time, winning 43 to 35. St. Louis Uni- versity was our host in an inter-loop game and almost came off the winners. It was small LeRoy Engert who kept our Riders in the game with his constant ball-hawking and set-ups, or his long passes to Milton Edwards, which allowed our center to be the night's high point man with 18 points. We won 45 to 30. We ended our league season with a 47 to 34 win over Blewett and ended One Hundred Seven in third place in the P. I-l. L. Playing McBride in another inter-loop game, our balanced attack and Milton Edwards' I7 points were too much for the Micks, for we defeated them 59 to 43. ln sub-regional play, Roosevelt was placed in the Maplewood Division and drew Eureka in the first game. After a close first half, Roosevelt pulled away to a comfortable 58 to 28 triumph. Milton Edwards was high with I8 points. Jim Gaebler, who really hit his stride in the latter half of the season, pumped through I2 points. ln the semi-final round games, our five faced a highly praised and high scoring quintet from Hancock and came through, jarring Hancock 53 to 40. The host team, Maplewood, was our foe in the game for the sub-regional championship. Leading us practically through the whole game, they forgot to stall, and Roosevelt pulled ahead for a 39 to 34 win. The St. Louis regionals at Washington University were our next hurdle. As the four-day race to see which two teams would represent St. Louis in the state tourney at Springfield began, we defeated a scrappy little W'ellston team 43 to I9 with top point man being John Schneider with I2 points. Those people were back again and this time we were determined to beat Beaumont and make up for those defeats the last two seasons. lt just wasn't to be. The fellows gave all they had-and more, but we couldn't stop the Bluejackets and the clock. We lost 31 to 25, despite the sensational efforts of John Schneider who scored l2'points. ln the game with University City for third place, our five played their last game for Roosevelt since all were seniors and won 47 to 24. We didn't go to the State, but it still was a fine season and the faculty and students can congratulate the boys. Lettermen were: Milton Edwards, LeRoy Engert, Jim Gaebler, John Schneider, Marv Stendel, John Bradley, Rudy Bukich, Gene Edwards, Bob Lawrence, Frank Zeilinski, and Lou l-lexter, Manager. Milton fLumD Edwards was the Public High League high-point man with 99 points and our team's high scorer with 303 points. ANNA HALLADA ng N .sing ik? One Hundred El-gh!

We won four championshipsg the League, the City, the State, and the third annual Invitational Relay. The winning of these honors is not surprising when we consider our excellent coach, Mr. Neumann, and such men as Bob Graham, Gene Tucker, Charles Groeschel, John Sotir, Mark Newport fCo-Captainf, Al Dischinger, Norman Jones, Bob Burns, Bob Murray, a-nd the manager, Ronald Morgan. The thirteenth annual state swimming championship meet was held March l at Wilson Pool, Washington University. The results were very close because of the illness of James Skaggs and Co-Captain Bob Risse. The results were: l00-yard Back Stroke-Newport second, 4 points. l00-yard Breast Stroke-Dischinger, third, 3 points: Burns, fifth, l point. l00-yard Free Style-Jones fourth, 2 points. Diving-Murray second, 4 points: Tucker third, 3 points. l50-yard Medley-Roosevelt fflraham, Burns, and Groeschelj third, 6 points. 200-yard 'Free Style Relay-Roosevelt fsotir, Dischinger, Jones, and Newport, second, 8 points.

J SWIMMING TEAM-FALL, I947 Our I947-I948 team started to practice early in September for the meet which is to be held in March, I948. A few of the boys served as life guards during the summer: others just went swimming as often as they could. During the school term the boys of the team take swimming instead of gym- nasium and practice after school. Never must a swimmer lose the feel of the water, but must always strive to improve endurance and co-ordination. The swimming team has five returned Iettermen: Bob Graham, Bob Murray, Gene Tucker, Charles Groeschel, and John Sotir. The Co-Captains are Bob Graham and Bob Murray. Others added to this year's team are Chester Brown, Leroy Steiner, Mick Sease, Richard Zumwalt, Don Simpson, Al Jordan, Wesley Stearn, Roger Turley, and Ralph Wemhoener. The man- ager, Ronald Morgan. is also returning from last season. These boys are striving to repeat the honor the swimmers brought our school last season. Mr. Neumann believes we have the best diver in the state: the Co-Captain, Bob Murray. With this excellent team we have high hopes of success. DALE LIFT WILLARD DILLOW One Hundred Twelve One Hundz cd Thirlevn TENNIS The Roosevelt tennis team had its best season in many a year, just missing a championship by a few games. The team was in first place from the first day of the tournament to the last, but on that unfortunate Friday, Blewett loomed ahead to regain its championship. l-lere's how it happened: Coach Lorenzen called the tennis team together early in May. With many newcomers wanting to join the team, a large elimination tournament was held during June, to see who would be the seven boys to represent Roosevelt that fall in the Public School Tournament. When Coach Lorenzen knew what boys would make up the team, he had them practice diligently during the summer. When the third week in September came, the team got off to a fine start, and thought that they were on their way to a championship after they com- pletely routed McKinley, Soldan, Cleveland, and Beaumont, the first four schools to face them, by scores of 5-0, 4-l, 5-0, and 4-l, respectively. With this record of I8-2 at the halfway mark, the pressure of being in first place started to show as they beat Central and Southwest by scores of 3-2 and 3-2 only. Roosevelt still had an outside chance of winning the championship as they met Blewett on the last day of play, but then our luck changed, as One Hundred Fourteen I Blewett regained the cup with a record of 30-5 and Roosevelt second with a record of 25-IO. Richard Lieber played one of the best matches of the tournament, beating Siegfried of Blewett in forty games: 2-6, I3-I l, and 6-2. The lettermen and records are as follows: SINGLES Won Lost Leo Mault, Captain ...,. ., , 4 3 Richard Lieber .... 6 I Marvin Landgraf ..... ...,.,.,.,.,, .

During the first term, they learn how to play volleyball: in the second and fourth terms-, soccer: in the third term, swimmingg in the fifth and sixth terms, speedball, which is derived from tactics of both soccer and basketballg and the last terms, seventh and eighth, hockey. During the course of the term, the girls take Various tests, such as climbing poles, the fifty-yard dash, stall-bar hanging, the burpee, and tests in rhythm. How you stand and how you walk determine your grade in posture. For those who want to keep trim, and those girls who really enjoy sports, the following activities are offered after' school hours: On Tuesday, Miss Reilly is in charge of swimming from three until four o'clock. Girls qualify for membership by trying out at the beginning of each term. It is generally expected that a girl be an all-round swimmer as the try-outs consist of demonstrating ability in ten different aquatic skills. Membership is limited because of facilities. It is the purpose of this club to promote greater interest in water safety and enjoyment. Miss Voit is in charge of basketball and volleyball. At present, volleyball is offered on Thursday, with Evelyn Stobie as the assistant teacher. Partici- pation in the game is denied only to girls who have been absent on three consecutive occasions. WALEEN RINDERER One Hundred Fifteen BASEBALL Hampered by unpredictable spring weather which resulted in the post- ponement of important practice games, the Rough Riders opened their season with a loss to Central at Fairgrounds Park by the score of 8-I. Meeting Blewett on their home campus, Roosevelt went on a run-making rampage, led by Norman Jones' grand slam homer, to whip Blewett 9-5. Wallace Anders was credited with the victory and was the first pitcher to go the distance this season. ln our third league game with Southwest at Sublette Park, our lack of timely hitting and the unsteady pitching gave the Longhorns a 7-l victory. Looking a little better in fielding and pitching, the Riders still could not bring home a victory and lost to Soldan 5-3 for their 'third defeat of the season. Ray Eckles pitched creditable ball for six innings One Hundred Sixfcen but had to be relieved in the seventh. Roosevelt knotted the score in the third on a home-run by John Schneider and again tied the score in the sixth on a walk and Norm Jones' triple, but Soldan went on to win. Beaumont High was our next opponent: the Bluejackets shut us out 5-0. We could get only three hits off the opposing pitcher. The highlight of the day was the first double play of the season which went from Jones to Engert to Nlumm. Again Roosevelt went down to defeat, this time to Cleveland by the score of 5-2 on the Roosevelt campus. Our extra base blows. in this game were Chuck Bieger's home run, his first of the season and a double by Elmer Schweiss. Starting the second round of play, despite the excellent pitching of Fred Applegate, who allowed seven scattered hits while striking out ten men, Central defeated us 2-0. For the third straight game, the Riders were held scoreless by the opposition. After Fred Applegate pitched four scoreless innings and then had to leave when he developed arm trouble, Blewett jumped on his relief for four runs and defeated us 5-0. In the McKinley game, which had been postponed twice, Dick Schuchardt pitched Roosevelt to a 4-3 victory, allowing three hits. Allan Campbell and Norm Jones both secured two safeties, one of jones' being a home-run. Winning its second straight game, Roosevelt trampled Southwest 5-I on the Roosevelt campus. Wallace Anders was the winning pitcher, allowing only six hits during the seven innings. 41.5 l iii 2 ? J ln the next league encounter with Soldan, the Riders backed up Dick Schuchardt's fine hurling with heavy hitting to win 8-2. The game was featured by freshman catcher Ray lVlaurer's four safeties, and home-runs by Schuchardt and Bieger. At Fairgrounds Park, Beaumont was out-hit I2-l0, but went on to defeat Roosevelt in a high scoring game of Il-8. Again heavy hitting was in evidence as Ray Maurer posted a triple and two singles, Chuck Bieger had a home-run with two men on, and Elmer Schweiss rapped out three safeties. Winning its fifth game of the season behind the tight pitching of Fred Applegate, who allowed six hits while fanning seven, the Rough Riders routed McKinley l l-2. Getting three hits apiece to lead the attack were Leroy Engert and Edgar Heck. Proving that pitchers. can hit and do, Applegate pounded out two doubles and scored twice. ln our One Hundred Souenteen Dick Schuchardt last game of the season played at the Cleveland campus, the Riders engaged on a free hitting contest with the Dutch and came out on the long end of a l l-7 score.

The whole auditorium was tense as the trumpeters blew their fan-fare. All faces turned to the rear of the auditorium as Ann Applebaum, the first of the maids came down the aisle. Ann was then followed by Jeanne Altman, Jean Fleming, Jean Zagel, and jean Murray. The last to come was the queen of I94 7, Jeannette Bange. After a roar of applause, the student body witnessed the crowning of the queen by Gladys Schaeffer. Gladys CQueen, l945J served as retiring queen due to the absence of Elaine Sterling, our last year's queen. As Jeannette Bange took her place on the throne, the cheerleaders led us in cheers for our queen, our coaches, and our team. Coach Lake and Coach Van Reen gave short talks assuring the students that they would be proud of their Track Team of I947, win or lose. The captains of the Senior and junior Divisions of the team also felt equally sure that Roosevelt would regain the championship for the fifteenth time. After the singing of the Alma Mater, the student body left the auditorium with their heads high and with the determination to cheer our boys through to victory. One Hundred Twenly TRACK QUEEN JEANETTE BANGE Humlrcd 'fwcn 5 Om' Hundred Twenty-two TRACK About l50 boys greeted Mr. Van Reen when the first track meeting of the year was called February 4. For several weeks thereafter workouts were held three times a week on the second and third floors. As soon as the weather became warm, the team moved outside. Our first meeting in early March with East St. Louis was rained out: much to our disappointment, almost half of our track meets were to be canceled because of bad weather. But the meets in which we were able to take part had the strongest competition in the district. These meets included the Maple- wood Relays, University City, and the District Meet of May 9. ln the District Meet the junior team took third and the junior 880-relay team composed of Applegate, Kurtz, Blair, and Applebaum came within l,f'l0th of a second of tying the record of one minute, thirty-five and eight-tenths seconds. After these first three tough meets, Roosevelt went on the offensive by beating Beaumont, Cleveland, and Southwest in a quadrangular meet May I3. These four teams were the top track teams in the Public School League. Roosevelt came in first and beat second-place Beaumont by more than 20 points. This was the first foreshadowing Roosevelt gave that the boys would regain the championship on Field Day. Our next meet was another quadrangular with Hadley, McKinley, and Southwest. Roosevelt really ran away with this meet, scoring almost twice as many points as the other three teams put together, and taking first in almost every event. These last two meets put Roosevelt in prime form for Field Day. When the preliminaries were held, even though Beaumont placed 33 men, Roosevelt placed second with 27. Three records were set Field Day, all of them by Roosevelt. One was by One Hundred Twenty - three I-L L One Hundred Twenty-four Bob Murray in the junior pole vault when he raised it from eleven feet and one-half inches, the record in I939, to eleven feet and two and three-fourth inches. The second was by Don Wilson in the junior high jump feet nine inches to five feet ten and fifteen-sixteenths inches. The by the senior medley relay team of Bill Siems, Chuck Bieger, Marv and Frank Zielinski. Other stars in the junior division were Clyde Jack Applebaum, who were good for a total of seven points in the dash and eight points in the 220-yard dash, besides running on the winning relay team. But the real star of the team was Milt Edwards, who ran the mile in four minutes, forty-five and eight-tenths seconds and then came back to win the 880-yard run in two minutes, six and seven-tenths seconds to become RooseveIt's only double winner and high point man with :sixteen from five third was Landgraf, Blair and I 00-yard points. We hope that under the guidance of Coaches Van Reen and Lake, Roose- velt can come back with a repeat championship performance like this next year. The results of Field Day were as follows: SENIORS I00-yard dash-Marvin Landgraf, third. Mile Run-IVIiIt Edwards, first: Gene Edwards, fourth. 880-yard run-lVIiIt Edwards, first: Jim Gaebler, second. 440-yard dash-Frank Zielinski, third. 880-yard relay-Roosevelt, third fIVIcCracken, Newson, Townsend, and Siemsl.

With only five returning lettermen from last year's team--Bill Siems, Frank Zielinski, Herb Hacker, Chuck Bieger, and Captain Elmer Schweiss --and injuries coming all too frequently, our new coach, Clair Houston, was confronted with a dificult job. Even so, our energetic team, with a heart for football, gave every foe a fighting game. With the experience our players have gathered this fall, we shall probably have another top team next year. PRE-LEAGUE GAMES McBride We took advantage of a break in the first quarter of our game with lVlcBride when we recovered a fumble on their 40-yard line and drove down to the I-yard line. but were unable to go over. A bad punt, however, again gave us the ball in McBride territory. A pass-lateral play, Bukich to Apple- gate to Zielinski, gave us an I8-yard gain and a touchdown. Hacker scored the extra point on a plunge. One Hundred Twmtg-eiglvl However, lVlcBride's Gus Ciato scored twice through our line in the second quarter, giving our opponents the lead at the half. The second half was scoreless. McBride won l3-7. St. Louis U. High On the first play of the game. St. Louis University High scored on a pass play that covered 55 yards, and in the second quarter scored again on a l l-yard plunge through the center. Roosevelt scored in the last quarter with a I5-yard pass from Herb Hacker to Charles Bieger. The extra point was made on a pass from Bukich to O'Brien. The final score was I3-7. LEAGUE GAMES Soldan Our Rough Riders lost their first league game to the Soldan Tigers at the Public Schools Stadium. Because of injuries to key men, it was necessary to switch players into positions that were strange to them. As Ralph Hasekamp had a dislocated back, fullback Herb Hacker moved to the tackle position and Melvin Loncaric at fullback took Hacker's place. With opportunities for both teams in the lirst half, neither team was able to connect for a touchdown. The game was a scoreless deadlock till the early part of the fourth quarter when Soldan had to resort to passes to make a touchdown. A Soldan pass receiver broke into the clear, but Frank Zielinski, speedy Roosevelt half-back, tackled him from behind. On another pass play Soldan scored its first touchdown. With just a few minutes to play, Roosevelt fumbled a punt, and Soldan recovered deep in our territory. This set up Soldan's second marker, making the Hnal score Soldan l 3, Roosevelt 0. Southwest Takes Roosevelt ln a rough game at Public Schools Stadium, on October IS, a strong Southwest High team beat our Rough Riders, 26-6. Play in the first quarter was about even until the Longhorns recovered a Roosevelt fumble on the Rider 20-yard line, and scored six plays later on a quarter-back sneak. The kick for the extra point was good. Late in the second quarter Southwest scored again, this time from the 7-yard line. The kick for the extra point was again good, and as the gun sounded ending the half, the score was l4-0 in favor of Southwest. ln the third quarter, Roosevelt came to life as Bieger, Loncaric, and Burnett, each making nice runs, carried the ball to the 2-yard line. Charley Bieger then carried it over for the score. Rudy Bukich was stopped short on his try for the extra point. After the Roosevelt kickoff, Southwest broke 30 yards around end for their third score. The try for extra point was not good. The final period was uneventful until the Longhorns ended the scoring with a plunge from the 2-yard line. The final score was Southwest 26, Roosevelt 6. One Hundred Twenty-nine Cleveland Defeats Roosevelt An under-dog Roosevelt football squad went against a powerful Cleve- land eleven October 27 and gave their opponents somewhat of a surprise by being first to score. The Cleveland team received the kick-off deep 'in their own territory, and, when they were unable to make headway, punted to the 27-yard line. The Riders took over and just as the second quarter opened, Rudy Bukich fired to Don Albert for the touchdown. Cleveland came back fast and scored two touchdowns before the end of the half, one on a lateral play and the other on an end around. Both attempts for extra points failed. As the second half opened, Cleveland scored quickly on a 55-yard off- tackle play. The try for the extra point was not good. The last Cleveland touchdown was scored moments later on a pass. In the fourth quarter, Frank Zielinski intercepted a long Cleveland pass to give the Riders the ball deep in Orange and Blue territory. Bukich again passed, this time to Zielinski, for the score. As the game ended, the try for the extra point was not good. The final score was Cleveland 25, Roosevelt l2. McKinley Smothers Roosevelt ln our traditional battle with McKinley, the Goldbugs wreaked vengeance on the Rough Riders for the many defeats the Riders have dealt them in the past. Roosevelt was the first to score when Bill Dill faked a pass run 40 yards for a touchdown. The try for the extra point was not good. Before the Riders had time to enjoy their lead, the Goldbugs star half-back ran 45 yards off tackle, and a few minutes- later he scored again for McKinley. The kicks for extra points were blocked. As the second quarter drew to a close, McKinley scored again, this time on a plunge, the kick for the extra point was good. We ,jf ,, LW-'ie Oli jflifizzaf N- 4 Xxzxfif bf One Hundred Thirty-one ln the third period, McKinley added two quick scores and the extra points. The Riders received the kick-off and Frank Zielinski, on the next play, carried the ball 47 yards to the Goldbug 5, from where Bukich plowed over for the touchdown. Richardson plunged for the extra point. After McKinley scored another touchdown, Bukich flipped three passes, bringing the ball to the l-yard line. Dill went over on a quarter-back sneak. To end the scoring, a McKinley back ran the kick-off 85 yards for a touchdown, also adding the extra point. The final score was McKinley 47, Roosevelt l9. ,nu Roosevelt Succumbs to Beaumont The Beaumont Blue jackets used their fine passing and ground attack to beat a lighting Roosevelt eleven in the Public High League football game played on November I. Roosevelbtook the kick-off, but fumbled on their own 26-yard line. Beaumont scored in but two plays, a pass and an end run. The kick for the extra point was wide. Roosevelt took the ball on the kick-off but could do nothing against the Blue Jackets' air-tight defense. They punted and Beaumont broke loose with two passes to carry the ball to the 5-yard line. As the second period opened, they scored on three plays. The attempt for the extra point was good. The Jackets ended the scoring late in the second period on a plunge from the l-yard line. There was no scoring in the second half as both teams had trouble getting their offense clicking. Play was carried on mainly between the two 30-yard stripes. The final score was Beaumont l9, Roosevelt 0. Central Noses Out Roosevelt In the closest and most thrilling game which Roosevelt played this season, this time against Central on November 22, the luckless Riders were turned away I9-I6. The play in the first period was about even until late in the period when a quick pass put Central into the lead. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful. ln the second period the Riders threatened when passes. by Herb Hacker brought them to the Central l l-yard line. On the next play, Hacker fought his way over on a plunge for the touchdown. Dill, on a quarter-back sneak, failed to make the extra point. As the half ended, the score was 6-6. One Hundred Thirty-two ln the third quarter, Central was trapped deep in their own territory. They tried a tricky lateral playg and when there was a fumble in the back- field, the Riders were awarded a safety. The fourth period was packed with action. The Riders received another safety when a bad pass from center went out of the Central end zone. Minutes later, Bukich plunged over for another touchdown which made the score I6-6 in favor of Roosevelt with five minutes left to play. Roosevelt kicked off and on the first play from scrimmage, Central tried a pass-. lt was hit by several players, but a Central man made a circus catch and went for a touchdown. Then with one minute left to play, Central scored again to rob the Rough Riders of a Victory. The final score was Central I9, Roosevelt 16g Since the main portion of our team consisted of underclassmen, most of the players will be back next year. They will have gained much from their experience of this season, and we can expect great things from them next year.

Lettermen in the cross-country were Captain Gene Edwards, Jack Van Sickle, and Bruce Wetteroth, all of whom finished high in the State Meet. Cross-country in I948 will become a recognized Public High School League sport and as such will draw the attention it merits. A group of over twenty boys were out for daily practice with Coach Van Reen this past fall, and an even greater turn-out is expected in l948. It is an excellent finding field for distance men for track, as well as being a recognized gruelling test of endurance and courage for those taking part.

All the students except those with second period classes on the third Hoor, heard an interesting and humorous account of Maurice Evans' perform- ances in Hamlet while he was entertaining troops in the South Pacific. This lecture was given by IVIr. Luddon, personal manager of IVIr. Evans. As Lieutenant Luddon, he worked under Mr. Evans while in the army. The general run of plays that were given for the benefit of the soldiers consisted of music, dancing, beautiful girls, gawdy costumes, etc., but Mr. Evans came up with something entirely new. With the help of Mr. I..uddon, IVIr. Evans put on his version of I-Iamlet, called the UG. I. Version of Hamlet. This play ran fourteen months and set a record. IVIr. I..uddon gave his lecture in such an entertaining manner that he was called back by the students for an encore. The applause was deafening. After IVIr. Luddon finished speaking Mr. I IiII excused us to go to our third period. SECOND AUD February I2 Since today was I..incoIn's Birthday it was a fitting time to have an aud session commemorating the birth of one of our greatest Americans. Many people think that when Abe Lincoln died that was the end of everything connected with him. To change this idea IVIr. William Warford, a native of Coles County, Illinois, where I..incoIn's family is buried, spoke to the students of Activities connected with Abe after his death. I'Ie related to us several stories dealing with incidents when grave robbers attempted to rob I..incoIn's grave. Interesting accounts such as these might have continued if the bell, a signal for us to go to our third period classes, had not rung. THIRD AUD I February I9--Brotherhood Week IVIr. I-Iill opened the aud session the second period today by introducing to us the Vashon High School Choir under the direction of Miss Reen and accompanied on the piano by lVIr. Henderson. The choir, Wearing blue and white robes, was an impressive sight on the stage. The audience together with the choir sang the Star-Spangled Banner as the first musical number. The narrator then announced the first three songs: The I..ord's Prayer, I-Ioly, Holy, Holy, and Almighty God. The next group of songs entitled Songs of the People included The Cherubim Songng Madame Chaunetf' which is a French Iove story put to music, Erie Canal with Roosevelt Williams as soloist: and a Russian Christ- mas song called Carol of the Bells. During an intermission, IVIr. Hill introduced the principal of Vashon I-Iigh School, Mr. Mosely, who spoke on the brotherhood of man and its mean- ing for us. One Hundred Forty-seven The following songs were those we were waiting to hear-the spirituals. Those sung were: Climbing Up the Hill My Children with Georgia Mae Heckster as soloist, l Couldn't Hear Nobody Prayug and Way Up in the Middle of the Air. Let America be America again was the title of a poem recited by the narrator, a student at Vashon. The poem having the choir as a back- ground emphasized that America is founded on freedom-freedom for Negroes, Chinese, and Whites alike. The choir, because of the thunderous applause, sang the spiritual, Ride the Chariot in the Morning Dawn, as encore. The assembly was then closed by the choir singing Lift Every Voice and Sing. Mr. Hill expressed his appreciation on behalf of the school, to the Vashon choir. Surely this assembly has increased brotherhood feeling toward one another. FOURTH AUD Brotherhood Week Because this week is Brotherhood Week, Miss Pager, Miss Hilb, and Mr. Hahnel put on this very interesting and entertaining program for the student body today. As the first selection we all sang The Star-Spangled Banner. The commentator was Bob Smylie. The program was as follows: l. A Petite Pas by Sudessi Mr. Hahnel's Orchestra ll. Dances: l. Spanish Tango-Music: Besame Mucho 2. Swedish Varsovienne--Music: Varsovienn 3. Chinese Festival of Lanterns-Music: Ching Foo 4. Grecian Maidens of Vintage-Music: Novette lll. Piano Solo: Jesus, joy of Man's Desiring Harriet Koenig IV. Tenor Solo: Ave Maria Bob Shumacher V. Violin Solo: Kal Nidrei fl-iebrew Lament, Richard Heiden Vl. A Cappella Choir: Russian Picnic: Enders Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler: Dett Lift Every Voice: Johnson America the Beautiful: Bates We all left the auditorium with a closer feeling towards our neighbors of every land, wherever they may be. One Hundred Forty-eight FIFTH AUD February 26 Much to our regret we had a short assembly today. Since the last aud, February 20, the teachers have been discussing the motion that all auditorium sessions should be omitted until next term. This is due to the extremely rude conduct displayed by the student body during the recent aud session, especially the one last Thursday. The speakers today as a whole tried their best not to be rude or sound too harsh, but they only presented the facts. The speakers included not only members of the faculty, but prominent students as well: Mayor Wally Beck, Secretary of Student Council ,Ioan Diez, Finance Committee Chairman Virginia Rau, and Basketball Captain Marvin Stendell. This brief aud was a warning to us and a protection, too, because every- one, students and teachers alike, enjoys an aud once in a while, to break the monotony. I Surely this aud has taught each and every one of us a lesson. From now on the faculty will be proud of the Roosevelt students-anytime, any- where. SIXTH AUD The Symphony Comes to Roosevelt February 6 was the big day when the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Golschmann paid its annual visit to Roosevelt. The fifth and sixth periods were shortened and the aud began at l:55. The seventh period was omitted. After a short introductory speech by Mr. Hill, Vladimir Golschmann gave a brief summary of the musical compositions to be played. 1 The program was as follows: Overture to Le Roi d'Ys , by Lalo Valse Triste, by Sibelius Symphonic Demonstration Pieces, by Ganz Finale, Symphony No. 5 in E. IVIinor, from The New World, by Dvorak Andante Cantabilen from Quartet No. l, in D Major, by Tschai- kowsky Perpetuum Mobile, by Strauss Overture to Tannhauser, by Wagner In addition to these there were added the following numbers: Surrey with the Fringe on Topi' and Yankee Doodle Went to Town . As an encore the orchestra again played 'iYankee Doodle Went to Town . Included in Symphonic Demonstration Pieces were the four different selections, Strings in Variation, Woody Scherzo, Brassy Prelude, and upercussional Melee. Mr .Golschmann explained that each of these pieces demonstrated the four sections of the orchestra, the string section, the wood- wind section, the brass section, and the percussion section. The fine performance of the orchestra was appreciated as the thunderous applause showed. . One Hundred For! y-nine SEVENTH AUD March 7 Today during the first period we had an aud session which put the student body to a test. The conduct during this aud determined whether or not the auds would continue this term. After the Star-Spangled Banner was sung, Mr. Hill addressed the assembly. He announced that our behavior at this aud would also determine whether the Roosevelt audience would again be noted as the best high school audience in the city or whether it would continue to be one of the worst. We had forfeited our good reputation by our conduct during the aud held during Brotherhood Week. i This aud consisted of several violin solos by Richard Heiden and an address over the radio by Mr. Hickey. He told the students how important it was that every registered voter vote yes on the twenty-live cent increase. After the speech, Mr. Hill congratulated the students. on their excellent behavior, and he also said that our conduct showed such a marked improve- ment that he felt safe in stating that the auds would continue. After this bit of heartening news, we were dismissed to go to our second period classes. EIGHTH AUD March 20 Such an important gadget as the telephone and the inventions connected with it are certainly essential to our very living. Today Mr. Mattick of Southwest Bell Telephone Company and Mr. Cum- mings, engineer for the company, presented an interesting demonstration of the inventions that have recently come from the Bell laboratories. Among these was the sound power telephone which was developed for the Navy. This telephone depends only upon the power of a person's voice to transmit a message. Mr. Mattick displayed two 'types of cables that have also come to light since the war. The spiral cord cable, consisting of four strands of copper wire, can conduct three telephone messages and eleven telegraph messages at the same time. Another cable consisting of small tubes and an enclosed copper wire can carry six hundred telephone conversations at one time. Quartz crystals are used to keep the conversations separate. The small amount of energy required to transmit a telephone conversa- tion was demonstrated when five students stepped upon the stage and were used to conduct first a telephone message and then music. Although these demonstrations showed how much work has already been done in the research laboratories, We know that there is still much to be done in the future. NINTH AUD March 27 Junior Town Meeting of the Air V Roosevelt students went on the air last Thursday, March 27, in a Junior Town Meeting on KXOK. The topic for discussion was Should We Have Compulsory Military Training? Lillian McDaniel and Bill Rutherford spoke One Hundred Fifty One Hundred Fifty for the affirmative and Kenneth Wagner and Phillip Sutton spoke for the negative. Bruce Barrington of KXOK acted as moderator for the panel. The speakers were under the direction of Miss Battle. Mr. Gammeter introduced the speakers and told of their various activities in the school. Lillian McDaniel WHS! the first speaker and she stated that the U. N. O. is an infant organization and not ready for its responsibility and therefore it is up to the United States to enforce peace. Ken spoke and said that the plan is not only undemocratic but that it causes a false sense of security. He maintained that the next war, if not prevented, would be fought with science, not troops. Bill Rutherford spoke next. He stated that Russia had millions of trained men and therefore we needed men to stave off an attack. Phillip Sutton, the last to speak, contended that the large amount of money used for military training should be used for education. He also said that any training would be outmoded. Mr. Barrington declared the remaining time open for questioning. Many students took advantage of this, and the speakers were kept busy. At the close of the period Mr. Barrington said that the program had proved to be the most honest and from the heart discussion of any of the high schools because the answer to this question involves the future of the boys in the audience. TENTH AUD April 3 Mr. Hill opened the auditorium session the third period today by express- ing his feelings on this occasion and explaining the musical program to follow. As the curtains were opened the choir, in their maroon and white robes, were seated on the stage in a semi-circle. Behind the choir stood a snowy white cross surrounded by painted lilies, brightened by the light shining on them. The program was as follows: I. Send Forth Try Light II. He Never Said a Mumbling Word Ill. Listen to the Lambs Solo: Virginia Fesler IV. Old Rugged Cross Male voices of the choir V. Into the Woods My lVIaster Came Solo: Bob Schumacher VI. Beautiful Savior Small Ensemble VII. Easter VIII. All Men Now Sing Rejoice Solo: Harriet Koenig IX. God of Our Fathers X. The I..ord Bless. You and Keep You Small Ensemble As we went to our next period classes our hearts were lifted with the joys of the coming Easter. One Hundred Fifty-Iwo ELEVENTH AUD Scholarship Aud Today, the fifth period, the all E students were honored in an aud session. Seated on the stage were all the students who had all Es this term, or a Scholarship R last term, or four Service R's. Mr. Hill introduced our mayor, Wally Beck, who presided over the assembly as master of ceremonies. The Hrst speaker was James Gaebler, Chairman of the Citizenship Committee, who explained the requirements for receiving scholarship awards at graduation and scholarship pins-. Many pupils do not realize the need for a college education, he said, especially in the years to come. Another thing is the possibility of receiving a scholarship to college or a college loan. He stressed the fact that college requirements should be taken by any student likely to acquire a scholarship. After this he then presented scholarship pins to those who had received four Scholar- ship R's. Wally Beck told the student body how to receive Service R's and Service pins and the number of points required for each of these. He stated that a good scholar is also a good worker for his school. Wally then presented Service pins to those receiving four Service R's. After this he introduced Richard Heiden and Richard Hoffman who played a duet entitled Little Symphony by Charles Dancla. Mr. Hahnel, our orchestra director, joined the two boys and the trio played Serenade by Helmesberger. The violinists were accompanied on the piano by Marilyn Woerhle. Mr. Hill then excused us with the words that these scholar students have been an example for us all today and had set a goal for us to reach. TWELFTH AUD May 2-Harvard Book Prize To open the assembly, Miss Hilb led the student body in singing The Star-Spangled Banner. Mr. Hill introduced to us the representative of the Sit. Louis Harvard Club, Dr. Archer O'Reilly. Dr. O'Reilly, who has visited Roosevelt many times for this purpose, pointed out that the Star-Spangled Banner should stand for the high ideals we all try to live up to. He said that Harvard, the oldest university in the United States, stands- for citizenship and scholarship, and that Harvard men have been, ever since the university was founded, leaders in civic activities. Harvard has turned out presidents, justices, senators, representatives, lawyers, doctors, scientists, and business men. The Harvard Society of St. Louis gives the book prize every term to a sixth term boy who is an outstanding scholar as well as good in extra- curricular activities. Harvard gives these prizes in hopes that these boys will go to college and prosper in their careers. Doctor O'Reilly said that the United States needs good leaders and the youth of today must supply them in the future. William Siems and Donald Wilson were then presented with the Harvard Book prizes. Mr. Hill thanked Dr. O'Reilly for presenting a worthy prize to such outstanding boys. Roosevelt is proud of Don and Bill. One Hundred Fifty-three THIRTEENTH AUD May 5 Roosevelt was greatly honored this afternoon to have with us the Culver- Stockton Choir, directed by Lester Pierce. The silver-gray curtains made a beautiful background for the choir who were dressed in black and white robes. The program was as follows: I. Gloria Patri ll. Now Let All the Heavens Adore Thee III. Sweet Little jesus Boy IV. Shagra V. Amor Song, from Robin Hood Solo-Q-Lloyde Maxwell VI. Sympathy, from Firefly Duet-Lloyde Maxwell, Doris Molt VII. Trial by Jury Vlll. Culver-Stockton College Alma Mater Mr. Hill, on behalf of the student body, expressed his appreciation for having such a fine choir entertain us today. ' FOURTEENTH AUD May I 5 Mr. Hill opened today's auditorium session by introducing to the student body the Harris College Choir and its director, Miss Helen Louise Graves. Miss Graves immediately presented to us lVlr. Gil Newsome, a well known radio announcer. Mr. Newsome told the students the origin of the Whiffenpoof song and how it became so popular. After this, Mr. Newsome introduced to the students the singer who made the recording of the Whiffenpoof song so famous. He was here with the Metropolitan Opera Company. As he was to sing in the opera that evening, Robert Merrill did not sing the song he made so famous, but asked Miss Graves to conduct the Boys' Choir in singing the song. To this Miss Graves quickly responded and John Blaribald sang the solo part. The program was as follows: l. The Russian Picnic . . . Girls' Choir ll. Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be? . . . Girls' Choir lll. Dance, My Comrades . . . Boys' Choir lV. On Parade . . . Boys' Choir As the choir took a well deserved rest, Miss Graves introduced Pat Cronin, a former Roosevelt student, who urged Roosevelt seniors to attend the Teachers' Branch of Harris College. Another former Rooseveltian, Adrian Schmoll, represented the junior Division of Harris. He gave the require- ments and fees for attending Harris and invited all to attend this fine institution. The rest of the program was as follows: I. Dawn . . . Solo-Shirley Bausch ll. Morning . . . Combined Choir lll. Donkey Serenade . . . Girls' Choir IV. Stout Hearted Men. . . Boys' Choir V. Gypsy Song . . . Solo-Miss Graves One Hundred Fifty-four After the last song, Miss Graves asked all former Roosevelt students who were in her choir to step forward and sing our Alma Mater. Seeing so many former pals and classmates from our own school made us feel very happy and proud. FIFTEENTH AUD May 2 l ln opening the session, Mr. Hahnel lead the orchestra in playing the lively, gay score of Waltz Dream by Strauss. After the applause ceased, Mr. Hill expressed his gratitude to members of the faculty, students, electricians, and stage hands that made possible Roosevelt's presenting such a fine operetta. Mr. Hill introduced Mr. Lorenzen as master of ceremonies, who then gave this brief story of the operetta: Maximilian X, King of Sylvania, returns home with his daughter Helene and his prospective son-in-law, a mysterious Nicki, who is a lowly lieutenant in the Austrian Army. The court is glad that the obstinate Princess Helene had finally chosen a husband as her marriage would quiet the populace, who were being heavily taxed to counteract the rising depression, and it would also be a means of getting a foreign loan for the bankrupt monarchy. Helene has agreed to marry Nicki only because he looks so much like her exiled sweetheart, Rupert. , When Nicki arrives in Sylvania he falls in love with an American singer, Kay Robinson, who does not know that Nicki is soon to become the prince consort. Nicki, determined that he will not go through with the wedding, goes to the cafe where Kay sings and makes love to her. Having learned that Nicki is at the cafe, the King, his sister Matilda, Princess Helene and an ignorant courtier plan to intercept Nicki and return him to the castle. They finally find him, and as he is trying to escape, he is cut off by Rupert, who has returned from England and Sigismund. These two want to smuggle Nicki out of the country, thus leaving the field open for them since they are rival suitors. Sigismund, though, plans to smuggle Rupert out of the country along with Nicki. Nicki and Rupert, after realizing Sigismund's plan to replace Nicki and marry Helene, overpower the pilot of the airplane and return to the palace as the wedding ceremony is about to begin. Helene is happy at seeing Rupert and she forgets about Nicki. The King consents to Rupert and I-lelene's marriage only because Rupert has arranged for a foreign loan for the mon- archy. Nicki and Kay are then free to be married, and everyone lives happily ever after. Mr. Lorenzen then introduced Miss Fager, who was in charge of dancing: Miss Lancaster, in charge of dialogue: Mr. Horn, in charge of publicity and sale of tickets: and Miss Hilb, who was in charge of the singing and production. The cast presented the finale of the second act to give everyone an idea of what the operetta would be like. One Hundred Fifty-Hue SIXTEENTH AUD May 23 Ah, women! All the students have been anxiously waiting to see the six beautiful candidates for Queen of our track team. These girls, of course, are typical of Roosevelt's beautiful women. fAhem! We're not conceited, of course.Q The assembly was turned over to our mayor, Wally Beck, who spoke of the crowning of the Track Queen as an annual custom that Roosevelt would be lost without. Virginia Rau, president of Pep R, told of the big job for Pep R as soon as Field Day rolls around. Transportation for the Queen and her maids to the stadium must be provided. The crowns, which Pep R made, must be put in order to be placed on the heads. of the Queen and her attendants, and an assembly has to be planned. Virginia Rau introduced the candidates as their names appeared on the ballots. Candidates of the senior division were Jeanne Altman, jean Fleming and ,lean Zagel. ln the junior division were Ann Applebaum, Jeanette Bange and Jeanne Murray. We were then excused to go to our respective advisories and vote for the girl we would like to reign over the track meet as Queen. SEVENTEENTH AUD May 2 7 Today Roosevelt was honored to have with us the Princeton Theological Seminary Choir. The choir was under the direction of Dr. David Hugh Jones, a member of the faculty at Princeton. The all-male choir first sang Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee. Before the program was continued the student body was led in prayer by a member of the choir. Another member read from Holy Scripture verses appropriate to today's occasion. The choir then sang the following: Lift Thine Eyes from Elijah, The Cherubim Song, and Hear My Prayer, O' God. Dr. Jones then explained that the choir was on a forty-day tour through the United States and Mexico, sometimes singing four and five times daily. The purpose of the tour, he said, was mainly to make friends. Dr. Jones then introduced the members of his choir who came from every part of the globe: Hawaii, Paris, London, China, Korea, Canada, and every state in the Union. Among the choir members was Jim Smylie, a former Roosevelt student, who was welcomed back to Roosevelt by the applause of the students. Stanton Wilson from New York, a medical missionary, told us of instances in his own life when God called him and he needed Cnod. The choir concluded with the following: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and Rise Up, Men of God. One Hundred Fifty-six One Hundred Fifty-seven EIGHTEENTH AUD To Our Honored Dead A memorial service was held in our auditorium on Wednesday, May 28, to honor the dead of our several wars. To this service relatives of these heroes were invited. The veterans of the last war now attending Roosevelt were seated on the stage. Mr. Hill introduced to the audience Mr. Gammeter, whose design was chosen for the bronze plaque that was to be dedicated to those boys of Roosevelt who died in the recent conflict. Mr. Gammeter explained the meaning of the symbols as Joanne Diez and Jim Gaebler pointed to them on the plaque. After the explanation, the audience rose and Mr. Gammeter dedicated the plaque. The audience then sang the hymn, Faith of Our Fathers. Dr. Smylie of the Oak Hill Presbyterian Church gave the memorial address entitled Courage The Carol Club sang a memorial song, and then each girl answered the roll call with a Hower laid in front of the plaque. Taps was sounded behind the scenes. The service was closed with the singing of the Hrst stanza of America NINETEENTH AUD The Queen is Crowned An expectant hush fell upon the auditorium as the six trumpeters marched to the center of the stage and sounded the bugle call. Then, accompanied by the dignified, stately march played by Mr. Hahnel's band, the lovely maids started down the aisle. The hush broke as applause and cheers rang out for the five girls and then rose to a deafening roar when the 1947 Track Queen, Jeanette Bange, appeared in the doorway. Attired in the traditional flowing scarlet robe of the Roosevelt Track Queen, and wearing an ecstatic smile, she was escorted to her throne by Mayor Wally Beck, and crowned by Gladys Schaefer, the retiring queen. Also according to tradition, the two track coaches, Coach Lake and Coach Van Reen, and the captains of the senior and junior divisions, Bill Siems, Frank Zielinski, and Clyde Blair, gave enthusiastic pep talks. Each empha- sized the fact that Roosevelt has a good chance of recapturing the Public High School League track championship. Mr. Hill made a short speech, and the auditorium session was closed with the singing of the Alma Materi' by the student body. it f it I g W SE ' is If-'Q-in One Hundred Fifty-eight HUNDRED YEARS HENCE The girl wriggled and squirmed, twisted and turned, and after several breathless moments, succeeded in squeezing her slim form through the small hole in the decaying wall. She stood a moment, breathing deeply, and shaking the dust accumulated through seventy-five years, from her colorful nylon frock. Wrinkling her nose in disgust at the musty odor which prevailed in what was left of the high-ceilinged corridor, she glanced about with considerable awe, and a tinge of fear. Stretching before her, amidst cobwebs, mold, and dust, was a long narrow hallway, lined with strange box-like compartments, with glass doors here and there to break the monotony. The girl poked an inquisitive finger through the dust on one of these boxes, and discovered it to be a green metal door, that creaked slowly open after considerable encouragement. As it did so, numerous queer but fascinating objects tumbled out upon the floor with a great clatter, and immediately, the curious hands seized a battered blue book, its binding broken, its pages yellowed. The inside front cover was a mass of names and dates, some blurred to illegibility, and others fairly readable. The girl strained her eyes to decipher the last name: Carol Martyn, Sept. 3, i946-condition of book-good. The rest was smeared badly, and the girl stared in unbelief, doubting if the crumbling book had ever been good. She dropped it upon the floor, and gingerly picked up a limp, faded blue garment from the pile. This time her face lit up, but again she stared in unbelief. How on earth, she wondered incredulously, 'idid people in those days know that this would be the height of fashion in 2047? She shook with laughter when she saw the strange, decaying tennis shoes, and wondered idly why Carol Martyn fher name was embroidered on the back of the suit, had chosen such disgusting shoes to wear in public. The girl stood up again, and started down the hall, glancing rather cau- tiously to right and left. She stopped before one of the glass doors, and after peering in for some time, finally entered, and looked around. Neat rows of wooden desks occupied the greater part of the room, and one large desk faced the others in front of a long, queer black expanse. There were many dusty maps adorning the walls, and the girl was surprised to find a map of the world without hide or hair of Mars. Of course not, she said to herself, mentally reviewing her Atomic History, Mars wasn't con- sidered until l993. ln a crevice of the last desk in the third row, the girl discovered a yellowed scrap of paper, which she carried to the light, and read eagerly, Why don't you go anyway, Mary? Because l thought that she said--H the rest of that sentence was blurred, and there were only four more words on the paper: unever in such trouble. The girl smiled, and carefully tucked the tiny epistle into its crevice once again. She wondered idly what the iitroublei' had been, and then realized that by this time, the whole situation was over and forgotten. One Hundred Fifty-nine SNOW SNAPSHOTS At the very beginning of the school term we were instructed to take jsnow pictures, just stacks and stacks of them, since Bwaml has never had many snow panels. These instructions began to worry us because what if it jdidn't snow? What would we do? Oh, that thought seems so absurd, no 'snow in St. Louis. St. Louis is almost snow covered at least once during a winter, though this year could be an exception we feared. Expecting snow any clay, we loaded our picture boxes ready to start ,clicking at the slightest sign of snow. We waited impatiently during the fall :months and almost wanted to get out and give old man winter a shove into the heart of the city. Finally winter began, only it rained instead of 'snowing Whenever hazy dark clouds appeared, we all but took out our 'cameras Funny thing, all the hazy dark clouds were smoke. ' Weeks passed until everyone was singing the all-time favorite, 'Tm Dreaming of a White Christmas. We didn't think Christmas would be Christmas without some form of snow, but it fooled us. Christmas came and .went and still no flakes fell. ln the month of February the weather was ,like summer days, with the sun shining, the sky a clear blue, and the birds singing. We had already given up hope and our cameras began collecting 'thick layers of dust. ' The first day of spring awoke as beautiful as any other spring day would. The people were already buying swim suits and sun dresses to use in the near future. Expecting other such days to follow, we went to bed that evening unaware of the events to follow soon. The first thing we heard in 'the morning was a melodious voice calling us out of bed, telling us to get dressed, and suggesting that we peek out of the window. Slowly we crept out of the warm bed and made our way to the window. Wiping the steam from the glass, we stood there surprised and amazed. We rubbed our eyes, thinking we were still asleep. Hurriedly putting on our clothes, we dashed :into the kitchen and out the back door to see if it was really and truly snow. Yes, we found out that it was. Seven inches of it! After a quick gulp of breakfast and a hurried jump into our coats, scarfs, and mittens, we were off on that long dash to school. That morning neither the bus nor our legs could carry us fast enough to 'LY4e Oil' Alma Mater, strange as it may seem. -K - After a few minutes which seemed like hours we were facing the tall 'building We put our books inside after we realized that outside was not a fit place for anything, not even books. With cameras in our hands, and :fingers on the clickers, we greeted the students and teachers. This snow 'seemed brighter and whiter than any other, maybe because we had been lstarved all winter for it. Although our hair was wet, our coats speckled, and our shoes covered, we used all the film we had. Slowly, stumbling up the worn steps to our lockers we put our coats and cameras away for the day and went to comb our hair. Since our once curly locks were damp, we were forced to go that day with our crowning glory in strings. Days and weeks passed, but finally the anticipated moment came. The -pictures had been developed and were just waiting for us to look at them. !We hastily picked up the envelope and glanced over the results. Not bad, not bad at all, were our replies, and thought they were fit reward for frost- bitten fingers, wet hair, and frozenvfeet.

For quite a while, l resist the horrible temptation to follow the instruction, but somehow my eyes keep straying to the intriguing command, and finally, being a born adventurer, l Hip the leaves to the required number, and behold: Turn to page I03. By this time l am wildly turning pages and following instructions, but my excitement is short-lived, for as l turn the last page of the book, l behold these discouraging words: You are a-! l feel crestfallen, and after glancing around the room to assure myself that no one has witnessed my foolish escapade, l resume my reading. The front door flies open, and with an entrance similar to mine, my older sister bursts into the room, waves several rare phonograph records before my dazzled eyes, and hurries to the phonograph. Cautiously placing my history book upon the nearest table, l creep stealthily after her and watch with interest as she slips the first platter on the turn- table. Alas, as the dreamy music fills the room, a familiar voice shouts clown the stairs, lVlartie Williams, stop tormenting your little sister. She's trying to study. My sister glares at me scornfully, snaps off the phonograph, and dis- appears up the steps, leaving me gritting my teeth at the belittling adjective applied to my title of relationship. After my anger has abated, l march determinedly to my history book, and doggedly read the remaining pages of the assignment. With this accomplishment, l sigh in relief and seize an enthralling movie book from the magazine rack. As l fumble frantically for a page, again a hand falls upon my shoulder. This time l am not surprised. ln fact, l had anticipated the situation, and instead of wasting time, strength, and energy in battling it, I hand the magazine to my mother, accept the English book with a resigned face, and begin plod- ding through verbs and conjunctious.

English, geometry, biology, history! ln the wee small hours of the night, in the last minute study hall, before and after school, l tussle with the task-maker. And, to give me no comfort, this ancient saying echoes through my weary brain: Women's fhomel work is never done. NlAR,IORlE WILLIAMS E11 One Hundred Sixty-eight THE CONCERT Friday evening, April IS, 1947, a concert was given by the Roosevelt High School orchestra directed by Mr. Eugene M. I-Iahnel. The stage, deco- rated with small yellow flowers on white trellises, made an attractive setting for the musicians. Richard I-Ieiden, violin soloist, conducted the orchestra for one selection. The other soloists were Richard Hoffman, violinist, and Shirley Bastian and Marilyn Woehrle, pianists. The accompanist was Miss Clara Brown.

DON WILSON If ll ' One Hundred Sixty-nine FRESHMEN DANCING CLASS The Freshmen, known as the New Jays, have a very exclusive organiza- tion. This class meets every other Wednesday under the direction of Miss Haeseler for the purpose of learning the fundamentals of modern dancing and poise. At the beginning of the term each student contributes ten cents dues to pay for new pieces of music and to enable the group to have a party at the end of the term. Altogether there are about l00 members. At first the boys are separated from the girls, but after one or two lessons they are put together and then split into two classes: one meets the first and third Wednesday, the other meets the second and fourth after school. During the term, with the help of their very able pianist, jo Ann Bone, they learned the waltz, fox trot, rhumba, conga, and jitterbug. If you didn't take this course when you were a freshman, you really missed something worthwhile. PAT CONRAD MARY BULLARD WAITING Are you one of the many folk who are waiting? 'iwaiting for what? you may ask, It really doesn't matter. Do you know that three-fourths of a person's life is spent waiting, waiting for the first day of school, for that all-important picnic, or waiting for graduation from grade school or high school? Then there's that thumb-twiddling waiting for trains, buses, and people who never come. Foolish, isn't it, to waste so much precious time waiting when you could be doing something constructive and important like sleeping? Time marches on, but, oh, how slowly it does march when one is sitting drumming his fingers on the arm of a chair, twiddling his thumbs, and watch- ing the clock as 'the hands creep around its face! Seconds seem like minutes, minutes like hours, hours like days, days like months, months like years, and years like. . . see, even now you are waiting for this short essay to end! BETTY AND PEGGY BRADEN One Hundred Seventy One Hundred Seuenly-one THE LIFE OF A WASTE BASKET Ouch! Another scratch on my coat of paint! I do wish those boys would be more careful when they come down the hall. Oh, well, what's another scratch and nick on this old coat of mine? Sometimes I wish I were in the scrap-iron pile at joe's Junk Yard. Itis been a long time since I was new and shiny like the waste basket in Room 320, but I can remember the day I was first made. Oh, what a joyous and exciting day that was! I remember how happy I was when the last bolt was fastened in my lid. Then I was sent to the paint shop and given a lovely coat of green, and a large, well-built man stamped Board of Education on the bottom of me. That didn't exactly feel good, but I was too happy to worry about the feeling. After that, everything went black, for I was Wrapped and sent to a large place called Roosevelt High School. As I approached it I thought, ult looks like a nice place so far, but what are all those creatures running madly for? Later I found that the bell had rung, and they were running to their advisories, hoping not to be sent to the principal's office. From there I went to Room 222. All day long I'd see smiling faces, but once in a while, on exami- nation days, those smiles would disappear when the teacher walked in. After a while those same children became careless, and I soon became marred. One of my worst experiences came when a girl, who was chewing gum, 'was told to throw her gum away. Not thinking, she did so, but without putting the gum in a wrapper. What a mess! I felt, in the true meaning of the word, very stuck-up. The janitor, my bosom friend, cleaned me. He was always helping me like that. Another time some boy dropped a bottle of ink and it spilled all over me. I felt like one of the ulnk Spots, but I clicln't feel like singing. Again my friend the janitor came to my rescue. But it wasn't such a bad life. I remember when the janitor was absent, and that nice lady janitor emptied me. Other joyous times were spent in the evening when all of us waste baskets got together and told of the day's adventures. Some could really tell whoppers! Oh, oh! I-Iere comes the man who collects waste baskets and sells them. I-Ie's stopping by me! I-Ie's carrying me off! I hope I won't be junked! I can see a truck outside. It says on the side, I.inseed Paint Company. Whew! For a minute I thought. . . Well, it's all right now, now that I understand, but I'm surely going to miss the old Alma Mater while I'm getting a new coat of paint. It will be worth a short trip to be shiny and bright' again. Well, 'bye for now, folks. Next time you see a waste basket think of me and be careful not to damage or mar it because, after all, we waste baskets have pride too, and we always like to look our best. MARLENE. BASTIAN 1 Q f ,V l 1 One Hundred Seventy-two VISUAL EDUCATION Seeing is believing -Roosevelt has been practicing this theory under Miss Cutter's supervision. High school courses are now made more interest- ing by motion pictures. History classes are taken back long years to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the First Continental Con- gress in session, and even farther back in time to see the ancient Greeks and Romans in their cities, now in ruins. Health and biology classes see large, modern, well-equipped laboratories where experiments take place right before the pupils. The greatest works of many poets and authors are reproduced on the screen in as interesting a fashion as actors can portray them. Visual education, though, is not a term used to describe education through motion pictures alone, but it also includes education through lantern slides, maps, charts, models, and the like. This method has been fostered in the United States chiefly through the efforts of the National Academy of Visual Education, members of which are drawn from the extension division of the state universities. Visual education is advocated on the ground that knowledge is acquired more easily when sight methods of instruction are used in conjunction with verbal methods. Roosevelt is proud to have a large group of students interested in projec- tion work: well-equipped sound-proof rooms: large, accurate mapsg motion picture slides: and aquariums and plants for research work. Through these facilities our work has become more interesting and we have certainly profited.

Roosevelt does have that good ol' Irish spirit left in the hearts of its students. This being St. Patricl-is Day nearly everyone wore green, even if it was only a shamrock pin. Even the corridors have realized that this is St. Patrick's Day because their green paint looks brighter and clearer than ever before. Such old traditions and customs like wearing green on the seventeenth of March have stuck with the American people all through the centuries. Because A.merica is such a wonderful melting pot of the world, each and every one of us celebrate the holidays of every nationality. All people, Irish or not, have proved their loyalty and observance of a great Saint's Day. A girl may walk through the halls wearing a green skirt and a green sweater but really she is of German, Greek, or perhaps English descent. lt is such a pretty sight to see all the green clothes. lt even makes a person wonder where all the green dye and fabric came from. It wouldn't even surprise me if someone would have come up to me and said, The top o' the mornin' to ye, lassie. PEGGY BRADEN One Hundred Seventy-four One Hundred Seventy-five FIRST ESSAY FOR BWANA V Since this is my first attempt at trying to write an essay for Bwcma' I think I shall look through last year's book first. As I open the covers... What is this? Names! My goodness! Do I know that many people? Lot of luck- I wish you all of the- Best of luck-in To my rival over, Opps, not that one! After I stumble through this mess of jumbled words I come to the Contents fnames on that, tool. Then to the Administration, the mayors, the editors of Bwana, the Seniors, the New Seniors, and on to the Organizations. I had better skip this, or I'II Iook at every picture over again for the zillionth time, and I'll never write my essay. Now let's see what shall I write about? Bugs? No. Flowers? No. The new dress styles? Nope! I may write on any subject, but I just can't think of one. Teachers! That's it! There are many different kinds of teachers. There are history teachers, math. teachers, English teachers, science teachers, Latin teachers, and so on. There are also many types. There are good teachers, sweet teachers, nice teachers-oh, I don't think I had better write on teachers. I-low about the funnies in the newspapers? No, I don't want to write about them: everyone reads them in the papers anyway. Let me see now. I just can't think of a subject! I-Iow about the colors connected with people? People are purple with passion, pink with jealousy, green with envy, red with rage, yellow with cowardliness. My goodness! What a silly-looking man that combination would make! COf course, it would have to be a male because I'm a girl, and I wouIdn't want to belittle the better half. fNotice that's an ne in better, not an I'd hate to meet him on some dark, dreary night. I'd hate to meet him on some bright sunshiny day, as far as that goes. I think I'll write about billboards. Do you mind? They really make a very interesting subject. I think so! I do! Really, I do! Don't you believe me? Well, I don't care then. I just don't care, I tell you. I'll write on them anyway. So there! Now Iet's see, where was I? Oh, yes! Billboards. Oh, I don't think I'll write on them. Now don't think I changed my mind on your account! I could write about-ah--ah. You know, that is a very good topic- Ah! There are lots of different kinds of ah's g for instance, the kind you say to the doctor and the dentist, the kind you say when you can't think of what you want to say, and also the kind the weaker sex fthe boy, that isj says when he sees a pretty girl. I think I'Il read some of these essays in the yearbook over again. Maybe they will give me some sort of an idea on what to write . It is now an hour later and all I have accomplished is the reading over again of my yearbook! I'm sleepy! I can write my essay Sunday. Right now I think l'll take a nap. Excuse me? . MARY BULLARD One Hundred Seventy-six ENJOYIN G NATURE I wonder just how many of us young people actually enjoy nature to the fullest possible extent. I would venture to say not many. Most of us seem to derive our pleasures from man-made material things. We attend movies, go to stuffy dance halls, listen to silly radio programst and usually just loaf our time away. We consider as valuable only things that can be computed in dollars and cents. We do not realize that we are missing the best part of life. Living here in St. Louis, we are fortunate enough to have many easily accessible places where we can enjoy nature. By simply boarding a bus, we may be taken to one of St. Louisfs beautiful and world-famous parks. Then, too, street-cars and buses. take us to spots in the country, such as Baker State Park, Creve Coeur Lake, or Chain of Rocks Park-all of which are suitable for one-day outings. For those of us who have automobiles, the lovely Missouri Ozarks are within easy driving distance. We should seek out wooded areas near rivers or streams because it is in these spots that the most beauty can usually be seen. We can observe the rushing streams with their fish, their animal life such as beavers and muskrat, and their water plants and flowers: the high mountains and bluffs with their majestic forms and rocks of many colors, and finally, the wooded areas with their tall, stately, and colorful trees, and the creatures which inhabit them., such as the squirrel, coon, and the finest of all, the many different varieties of bird life. Many other things, such as the colorings of the leaves in fall, or the snow in the winter, or the opening of the new buds in spring, add their bit to the beauty and inspiration of nature. All of this is free. It is ours for the asking. It is ours for the taking. We should, however, realize that certain responsibilities go with this pleasure. We should strive to conserve and preserve our beautiful forests, avoid the pollution of our waters and always be sure to take under the legal limit fwhen we hunt or fishl. We should be careful not to start any forest fires. A sporting magazine has summed these obligations up in this way: I give my pledge as an American to save and faithfully to defend from waste the natural resources. of my country-its soil and minerals, its forests, waters, and wild-life. If we would all look this pledge over, consider its meaning, and follow it while we are in the woods or elsewhere in the country, there surely would be less loss because of our joy in nature. Let us think it over. The next spare week-end we have, or the next time our uncle in the country invites us out for a week, let's gladly take the chance to get out into the woods and enjoy' the cheapest, most rewarding thing available to us, nature. BOB KLOEPPER One Hundred Seventy-seven WHAT AMERICA MEANS TO ME America-a land of serene, snow-capped mountains, great rivers, fields of grain, and great cities humming with human activity. What does it mean to me? It means the Four Freedoms. Does every American citizen know what they are and for what they stand? Freedom of speech-in America we need not be afraid to speak as we feel so long as we do not hurt our fellow men and so long as. we speak the truth. There is freedom from want. In this great country there is plenty of everything for the people who will work for it. lt's wonderful satisfaction to go to bed at night in a warm, comfortable house and know that in the morning we shall awaken to a good breakfast. Then comes freedom of religion. Does it mean anything to you? Finally, there is freedom from fear. In war- devastated Europe the people live in constant fear and distrust. They have no security, nor do they know from what source their next meal will come. In America we hardly know what fear is. America is a land of many opportunities. There are not many countries in which the people, regardless of race, color, or creed, have the right to get a good education at a low cost. Nor do other people have the right to vote for the men who they think will do a good job of governing. Everyone is free and equal. There is no discrimination between classes. just because your father was a blacksmith doesn't mean you have to be one, too. America is the land where the little man has a chance. He can enjoy a new auto- mobile, own his own home, and join in the election of the officers to govern his country and can even be one of those men seeking a high office. America is his land, your land, and my land, to use as we, the people, see fit. There is a dark side to the story. ln the slums of our cities there are many families poorly clothed, half-starved, dirty, and living in crowded quarters. Do they think we live in the land at the end of the rainbow? But we are not unmindful of them: we do try to help those less fortunate. Americais a land of beauty. It makes one feel happy to take a drive into the country in the spring when trees. and shrubs are in bloom and in the fall when the leaves are changing colors, to go to the mountains in the summer, to fish in many streams, to hunt in the woods, or merely to relax in the cool breeze-these are the things Americans live for. Our written Constitution guarantees us- a democracy of the people, by the people, for the people by officials whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed. Now you asked me what this glorious land means to me. The answer is still all around us, but you have set me to thinking. l'm really much happier now that I think, Why l live here, here in America! l'm proud of all the European blood in me, but I wouldnit trade places with anyone in the so-called Old World for anything. Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King. MARY BULLARD One Hundred Seventy-eight PATRICIA CONRAD THE GOURMET Ah-h-h, food! My weakness! Obviously I am not the only one with this weakness. Ofttimes this weakness gets me into trouble: in the lunchroom, for instance. Although I have second lunch I am fortunate enough to be in Room 5 the fourth period. The aroma of those hot buns is too much, so at lunch-time I buy some. Since they aren't good by themselves, and the main line is too long, trouble starts. I either follow the line of least resistance and buy a dish of ice cream or, as usual, get into the soup line. After I have my beef-ball and mashed potatoes, I decide I need something liquid. A bottle of milk is just the thing. I almost forgot my appetizer, one of those slimming salads. By this time the whistle has blown, I have just barely time to grab a candy bar. When I get back to the table, everyone else has finished and is ready to go put on her make-up. I have my choice between being with my friends and eating. I finish gulping just as the bell rings. About the sixth period I begin to feel nauseated. There's no chance for an early dismissal since l'm a senior. The nausea finally disappears and is replaced by a feeling of hunger. After school, nearly mangled at an ice cream parlor, I get home in time to be mangled in the race for the refrigerator. Since my brother is bigger than I am, he always gets that last piece of braunschweiger. But seeing the starved look in my eyes, he gives it to me out of the pure kindness of his heart. After borrowing something to wear tomorow-I often impose on my sisters-and doing my physics homework I get ready for my date . Seven- thirty, and he isn't here yet: no harm in having a glass of milk, I say to myself. The next thing I know, I am halfway through a ham sandwich when the door-bell rings. After nearly bankrupting my escort by a show and a stopover for a hamburger, I go home to my ritual midnight snack, and then to bed. In my dream I am riding down Icing Alley on a piece of' angel-food cake with my hands full of peppermint sticks. And a choir of lemonade glasses is singing Hon the Good Ship Lollipop. Is it any wonder I wake up with food on my mind? After a scrumptious breakfast and a lunch at school, l get home to find we have company, Aunt Aggie from Sheboygan. She hasn't seen me since I was a little girl with a halo of golden curls. I-Ier first remark, So this is my little Emma june. My, she has put on a lot of weight! is not complimentary. There and then I decide to go on a strict diet. . . starting the first of next month. jUNE TIMMERMANN of ' xyv' fir' 45 1 KJNWT 1 nxrf' One Hundred Seventy-nine EN COUNTER The first thing a student thinks of when a teacher comes into a room and asks him to step into the hall is, What have I done now? That is exactly what I thought when I was summoned from advisory one morning. Then, much to my surprise and delight, I was given a chance to type for Bwana. thus becoming one of the staff. Even the prospect of coming to school at eight-twenty on Monday mornings didn't dim my enthusiastic mind. Exitement was oozing out of my seams. This was the chance of a school lifetime. My first duty was to type several short poems. At first I was much too interested in the actual manipulating of the keys to pay much attention to the words, but gradually I became aware of the witty rhymes I was typing. Where in the world do people get such super dupern ideas? How can they record them in such remarkable rhymes? But who was I to be thinking of such things? Why, I can't even find a word to rhyme with school. fWho wants to?J For two whole weeks I typed diligently every sixth period. Then came the fatal day. Monday morning, my first Bwana Staff meeting. Why hadn't I thought about it? Why hadn't I realized that it wouldn't be all play and no work? The first blow came when I was asked to write a copy of my program. Have you ever tried to write a copy of your program in the middle of the term? Yes, with room numbers and everything? Somehow I completed the little yellow card, only to find that roll call is always answered by lt 'Happened Here at School articles. I can't even keep up with my own doings. I couldn't see how anything could possibly be worse until I was non- chalantly informed that I was expected to write an essay. Imagine, an essay written by me! I-low could it be done? What would I write about? Well, I was in now and in I had to stay, so I sat down and wrote as I had never written before. Yes, I had encountered more than I had bargained for, but then l'm always looking for my money's worth! EVELYN DEBERRY 'gi - A, Q L .1 -. I One Hundred Eighty One l'1Llf7.l'I'Cd lfighlyfonc I WAS MUCH TOO SLEEPY A couple of weeks before report cards came, I made up my mind to do all of my homework from then on. I dragged every book home to help me carry out this plan. V The first day I was late getting home because I had stopped at the corner drug to get a soda and talk with my friends. I had started to straighten my room when Mother called up that she wanted me to go to the store for a few things. The irony of the word few wasn't exactly a surprise because it usually happened that way. Those few things were to pick up an order at the bakery, pay the gas. bill, get some meat and some other burdensome articles at the grocery, and, finally, stop at the gift shop, where I would have my arms full and probably knock over a glass trinket, to pick out a lovely birthday card for Aunt Blanche. I struggled home just in time for dinner. After dinner I was to help with the dishes because the rest of the family was going out: although I protested, I was maliciously left with all of them to do. When I finally finished, the telephone rang. It was Bob. I-Ie wanted me to go to the Fox. I weakly refused. He said that Bud and Bill were going. I gave a slight excuse. I-Ie said that Bill was taking his new car. I said that I would be ready in ten minutes. Since we drove around for a while after the show, it was very late when I came home and I did not do my homework because I was much too sleepy. Thus I had clone nothing to carry out my aim. 1 On some other evening it could have been something like this. The gang dropped in just when I had settled down to do my work. They asked me to go to a dance. I hesitated very little. We danced for a while and afterward we went out into the country to get something to eat. After taking the girls home we drove around for a while. I got home very late. I was much too sleepy to do homework. Again I had carried my books home in vain. Or it could have been that when I arrived home from school that Dad had gotten the afternoon off and wanted to go to the farm. At this I dropped my books from my arms and my mind. I did not have to be asked. We got a late start coming back. When we reached home it was very late, and I was much too sleepy to do homework. On this next occasion I would much rather have done my homework. My brother came over for dinner with his wife and his' three-year-old child. In between screams, yells, vases flying through the air, and tables overturning, and the caressing of his mother when my nephew pulled the radio on top of him I could not study. By the time they left, I was much too sleepy to do homework. Then before that report card came out it became warm. I didn't even feel like doing homework, but I was determined to carry out my ambition. The neighbors had their radios on. Bob I-Iope was across the alley, the opera downstairs, and a political campaign across the street. Among this night- mare of screams from the opera singers, advice from the politicians, and corn from Hope, I could not do homework. I closed the windows and roasted. By the time everything had quieted down, I was much too tired to do anything but sleep.

Ma. a A day Of rest from work We all agree is fun But soon we travel back to work Once more, GRETCHEN PFEFFER One Hundred Ninety-four One Hundred N1'm'ly-five ASSEMBLY SESSIONS FIRST AUD Constitution Day, September l 7 Sleepy-eyed and tired, the students came to advisory at 8:45 a. m. in order to attend the assembly in our auditorium at 8:55 a. m. Station KMOX presented a broadcast from Roosevelt this morning in observance of Constitution Day. Dr. Samuel Johnson, professor of history at Harris Teachers College and also a KMOX news commentator, spoke to the student body and all of St. Louis on the importance and significance of our Constitution. After Dr. Johnson was off the air, he elaborated on the same subject. After this Mr. Hill introduced to the students Captain Warr'en Lanley, a graduate of our Alma Mater and a member of the National Guard, who urged all boys seventeen years or older to help- their country by joining' the National Guard. Mr. Hill introduced the guests who were seated on the stage. They were: Miss Dorothy Blackwell, Miss M. Fleming, Miss Alice Carter, Mr. Fred Beck, Mr. William Schumacher, Mr. Edward Beumer, and Mr. S. Nants. Mr. Philip Hickey, Mr. Nants, and Mr. Beumer, former Roosevelt principal, each expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to be a guest at Roosevelt. The session was continued by Mr. Hill who introduced the school officers who were also seated on the stage. After the singing of the Alma Mater and 'iGod Bless America we were dismissed to go to our first period classes. SECOND AUD September 26 This was really a shorty as it only lasted fifteen minutes. Our mayor, Ralph Arand, asked all of us, especially since the football season had opened, to cooperate with the Public Service in helping them to protect their property by conducting ourselves in a manner befitting high school girls and boys while riding the buses and street-cars. Mr. Hill expressed his appreciation for our cooperation last year when this same appeal was made. He said that he felt confident that we would show the same sportsmanship and consideration this season. We, as a school, met Roosevelt's new coach, Mr. Clair Houston, former coach of McKinley's football squad. Coach Houston expressed his pleasure in being able to work with the Roosevelt boys. He stated that he was sure that the team this season would live up to Roosevelt's standards and give us a good game. One Hundred Ninety-six THIRD AUD October 2 Here it is, October second, and we have had three auds already. Mayor Ralph Arand introduced Mr. Henry H. Gaylord, Jr. of the Gay- lord Container Company to the students. Mr. Gaylord spoke to us on the Junior Achievement program that is being conducted in St. Louis. He said the purpose of this organization is to prepare young people for better jobs in the future by giving them a little experience now. ' Mr. Butera, a member of Junior Achievement, Inc., explained what we should do if we wished to join the group. First, the individual company is formed, the product to be manufactured is decided on, and ofhcers elected. Then we sell shares in the company, usually five dollars a share. Each member must own at least one share. The members meet one night a week to work. Products are usually sold at some neighborhood store where space is rented for a nominal sum. To each company three men are assigned to assist in legal matters, in bookkeeping, and in purchasing material: otherwise, it is entirely a junior organization. The operation of a company lasts only one year. A motion picture was shown to us of the different activities available and the companies willing to act as sponsors. After the picture, Mr. Butera showed us some of the products of the different companies and their selling prices. He told us that applications were in lVl.r. Hill's office and all those interested could come to Room 202 after school to get further details. We were dismissed to go to our sixth period. FOURTH AUD Three cheers and all 'that sort of thing, we just had our annual football aud. To the moving strains of Two O'Clock Jump the student body surged into the auditorium. Then, thrill of all thrills, our football team filed on to the stage dressed in their battle-worn uniforms. After the Star-Spangled Banner had been sung, Mr. Hill introduced Coach Lake to the students. Coach Lake expressed sincere pleasure at be- ing able to assist Coach Houston this season and was confident that we would support the football team this year as we had other athletic teams. He said that the football team this season would be one to be proud of. Mr. Hill then introduced Coach Van Reen, who said that, although the team got off to a bad start this season, we would not be ashamed of them in the end. The next person introduced to the student body was a newcomer to Roosevelt. He was Coach Houston from McKinley, who took Coach Ross's place. He expressed pleasure at being here at Roosevelt and being fortunate enough to coach our team. He told us that the team depended on the student body for support and co-operation. Coach Houston next introduced Elmer Schweiss, right guard and captain of the team. Elmer thanked the student body for coming out to the games and expressed the hope that we would continue to do so all through the One Hundred Ninety-.Seven season. The next speaker, Charles Beiger, also said he hoped everyone would buy a season pass. ' After this the cheer leaders led the students in cheers for Coach Lake, Coach Van Reen, Coach Houston, and the team. Mr. Hahnel added a musical touch to the aud by playing Song of the Rough Riders. The members of the team seated on the stage were: jim Metcalf Joe Sansone Bill Siems Bill Kuhns William Dill Paul Fuchs Roy Schneider Henry Root Herb Hacker Gary l..aTurno Don Albert Ferd Kaufman Bill Richardson Ralph Hasekamp Mel Loncaric Ralph Arand Rich Schuchardt Ray Kleinberg Bob Lawrence Bob Parks Charles Bieger Jerry Knight Rudy Bukich Jack Cummins Bill Burnett Elmer Schweiss Harry Clark George Anatasoff Ronald Blaine Elmer Bram Jim O Brien Frank Zielinski Tom Roberts Fred Applegate The Assembly was then closed with the singing of 0ur Alma Mater. FIFTH AUD That fireman, Captain Warren M. Gaffney, was here again and even though he comes every year, the message he brings should be remembered every day of the year and its. lesson practiced every hour of the day. As he pointed out, a minute of negligence can mean the loss of home and loved ones by fire. This aud was forvthe entire school and after the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, Mr. Hill introduced Captain Gaffney to the student body. As usual, the public speaking system was not working, but Captain Gaffney did very well without it. He gave his usual but all important talk on the cause of fires and their prevention. After Captain Gaffney's speech, we wereitreated to an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Tommy Rinehart, a Roosevelt graduate who had spent several years in the armed forces and is now back at Roosevelt taking a post graduate course before entering college, played three piano solos. They were Park Avenue Fantasy , Deep Purple , and Talk of the Town . Tommy played with the swing band when he formerly went here. Tommy's playing was enthusiastically received by the student body, and we were all sorry that time did not permit him to play one more selection. After this pleasant respite in the routine of the day, We were dismissed to go to our next period classes. NAVY DAY On October 27, the students assembled in the aud the second period for a Navy Day program. After Mr. Hill reminded us that it was the birth- day of the man for whom this school was named, he turned the session over to Mayor Ralph Arand, who made the introductions. Mr. Hahnel directed the band in playing Anchors Aweighn and Navy Blue and Gold . Bud Kowalskey then spoke of the life of Theodore Roosevelt. The Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Hilb, sang two selections, Peg O' My One Hundred Ninety-eight , Heart and The Whiffenpoof Songn. For an encore they sang a spiritual. Then Commander C. D. Callahan, in charge of Navy Recruiting, spoke on the Navy. After that Mr. Hill excused us to go to our third period class. SCHOLARSHIP AUD NOVEMBER 26 It was good to see the aud filled with the shining, eager faces of the student body. Miss I-Iilb Ied the students in singing The Star-Spangled Banner. Mr. Hill, the first speaker, announced that at this aud we were to give praise and credit to those who had worked Iong and studied hard to attain their goal. The session was then turned over to our mayor, Ralph Arand, who also praised those pupils who had earned Scholarship and Service pins and Scholar- ship and Service R's. I Bob Murray, chairman of the Citizenship Committee, said that scholarship and citizenship always have and always will go hand in hand because a good student is a good citizen and a good citizen aims to he good in his studies. Mr. Hill then awarded Scholarship pins to the following: Marian Moeller, Nettie Ann Lay, Galen Ciockel, Olivia Springer, Carol Erdell, and Bob Kloepper. Those receiving Service pins were: Melvin Meyer, Robert Bentrup, Arthur Boettcher, Corona Powers, and Marjorie Brown. Ralph Arand introduced Tyrus Bildner, a G. I. taking a post-graduate course, who spoke of the importance of getting a good education and making a good record while at school. After this Miss HiIb's Small Ensemble sang Seboney, Without a Song, and Louisiana Hayridef' Next Wesley Stern played Can't Get Started With You, M.am'seIIe. and Peg O My Heart on his harmonica. The students applauded his playing so much that he responded with Begin the Beguinef' Again he was called back for another encore. This time he played For Sentimental Reasons. The session closed with the student bodyis singing God Bless America and 'iAmerica the Beautiful. TALENT AUD-DECEMBER I 0 Goodie Gumdropl O Boy! Another aud and a Talent Aud at that, too. We have so much talent here at Roosevelt that every aud of this kind is a real treat. Mr. Hill spoke first and introduced Mr. Lorenzen who then introduced the Swing Band. Their first selection was their theme song, Mood Indigo, after which they played a request number. One Hundred Ninety- nine The next number on the program was a violin solo by Richard I-leiden. His! selection was l..iebeslied . Richard Hall, an up-and-coming master of magic, was the next per- former. His slight of hand tricks were applauded by all. The Swing Band's next number was I'll See You in My Dreams. A dance by Jerry Smyth and Peggy Klein followed it. Richard Zeiss and Margie and Kate gave out with an accordion solo, after which the Swing Band played Beal Street Mama, ending another enjoyable aud session. CHRISTMAS AUD Filled with the holiday spirit and that special Christmas feeling, the stu- dents poured into the auditorium. The stage was decorated by a large, lighted tree which almost touched the ceiling. Miss Hilb's choirs sat on either side of the tree: the A Cappella in their crimson robes and the Carol Club in their white blouses and dark skirts. Truly the decorated stage and the low humming of carols, gave the auditorium the right atmosphere for the coming holidays. Mr. l-lahnel's orchestra began the musical program by playing a selection of Christmas carols. The order of the program was as follows: l. A Capella: Lord's Prayer ..............,... ..,.........,....,.... M alotte The Three Kings .,.........,........... ....,., O ld Nativity Song How Far Is It to Bethlehem? ,...... .....,.,.............,.., S haw Young Jesus Sweet ....,..........,.. .,..........

H a ndel The choral groups are grateful to Miss Doclcery for writing and giving the narration. Two Hundred B WANAS ARE OUT! I-ley! Where's my Bwana? No, it can't be-l've signed my own book! My pen! Have you my pen? Hey! l have Sis book and she has left with mine! Horrors! What will l do now? All these words are repeatedly heard on the day Bwanas are distributed. All through the halls are seen groups of pupils signing each other's books. This signing is followed by mad dashes to the next class. Some- times luck is with the fortunate, and other times Mr. Gammeter has visitors waiting for him to give them detained slips. Each teacher has his own worry. As he looks at the class, he sees. a number of Bwanus being passed across the room although 'he had just given specific orders for all Bwanas to be put away. After he sends several students to the office for disobeying these orders, Bwanas are passed under the desks instead of in clear view of the rattled teacher. Moans and groans are uttered by some who have signed their own book or twice in that of a friend.
