I'?I I' JA J I HAPPY BIRTHDAY This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Roosevelfs founding. ln February, l925, the building was opened to the hrst of the thousands that claim Roosevelt as their Alma Mater. The first students enrolled and graduated: others took their places until members of the first graduating class saw their own sons and daughters re- ceive their diplomas in our auditorium. Time. however, has not changed Roosevelt much. Although new courses have been added, everyone still studies history and English. Mr. Hill speaks to us on the same problems which the first principal tried to correct. The building itself, thanks to its sturdy construction and excellent care, does not seem to be twenty-five years old. Even the styles of the twenties, which five years ago looked so ridiculous, are coming back with shingled hair and the Hmiddy look. As a building, Roosevelt is twenty-five years old, but as an institution of learning, Roosevelfs age is twenty-five times the number of students who each year have laughed and learned, had problems, and had fun. Each of us feels a loyalty to the school that has given us so much. Happy birthday, dear Roosevelt, and many more to come! CHARLOTTE BUSSE Four BL S L13 E 120 d, :Aera ' .

'XC' fxil Dear Alumni and Former Students: A quarter of a century has elapsed since the doors of Roosevelt High School were opened to admit the youth, of this large section of the city who desired to take advantage of the educational opportunities offered at Roose- velt through the generosity and sagacity of the citizens- of St. Louis. To the 2460 students who entered at that time, the intervening twenty-five years have probably passed so rapidly that they can hardly realize that the Old School is celebrating its Silver Jubilee Anniversary. Yet, such is the case and, on behalf of the faculty, I take this opportunity to salute you and all others who have attended Roosevelt. After twenty-five years, we find the enrollment to be lower than ever before in the history of the school, 2074 boys and girls. The peak enroll- ment of 3450 was reached in 1933: we enrolled 3260 in the fall of l942g but since that time the enrollment has gradually declined. The present low enrollment, no doubt, is due to a reduced birth rate during the depression years, the growth of private and parochial schools, and job opportunities for youth of high school age. Many curriculum changes have taken place through the years. Most of subjects offered when the school opened have been retained, but many others have been added to the program of studies. The names of these newer additions to our program will sound strange to many who attended Roosevelt in its earlier years. Among these courses are reading, clinical reading, every- day English, retail selling and work experience, radio workshop, secretarial practice, general education, problems of home living, problems of home planning, psychology, American problems, driver education and training, and art metal and plastics. ln addition, we have a cooperative plan which permits our seventh and eighth term students to take advantage of many of the vocational subjects offered at the Hadley Technical High School. ln these additional offerings you can see the attempt of the school to meet more fully the needs of all the boys and girls of high school age, whether they are going on to college or are completing their formal education in the high school. During the past twenty-five years Roosevelt High School has made a worthy contribution to its community and to the lives of some 25,000 boys and girls who have been enrolled as students. Of this group, over l3,000 have graduated, and while the alumni are relatively young, they are an ever-growing group of capable and responsible citizens who are living proof of the wisdom of unselfish support of free public education for all of the children of all of the people. ln conclusion, l am sure that the Faculty of Roosevelt High appreciates the privilege of serving in this community and keenly feels its responsibility to the youth looking to us for instruction and guidance. We also want to express our thanks to you as students, alumni, and citizens for the fine, sympathetic cooperation you have given to us. May the next twenty-five years bring you happiness and prosperity and find you among the enthusiastic celebrants of the Golden Jubilee of Roosevelt High Schooll STANLEY HILL, Principal SIIXIQJ PRINCIPALS OF ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL During its twenty-five years of existence, Roosevelt has been fortunate in having five able men as its principals. The first principal of Roosevelt was Armand Miller. Mr. Miller, who was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, taught in Kansas City for seven years before entering the St. Louis Public School System. ln St. Louis he served as principal of Blow Elementary School and as assistant principal and principal of McKinley. ln l925 when Roosevelt opened, Mr. Miller was appointed principal and held the position until l928, when he resigned to teach chemistry at Harris Teachers' College. He diecl in 1943. Maynard M. Hart, who was assistant principal from the opening of Roosevelt, then became principal. lVlr. Hart was born in Glenmeyer, Ontario, and received his A. B. and M. A. at the University of Ontario. He taught at several colleges before coming to St. Louis in l903. Mr. Hart was principal until his death on March l8, l933. The following September Charles Ammerman was made principal. Born in Greencastle, lndiana, he attended De Paw University. He was a member of the faculty of McKinley until that staff was sent to Roosevelt. At Roose- velt he taught mathematics and was in charge of the bookroom before he succeeded Mr. Hart as principal. ln l94l Mr. Ammerman resigned to work in the college department. He died on january l5, l947. Roosevelt's fourth principal was Edward Beumer, who had been assistant principal since l938. ln the St. Louis school system he served as principal of Eliot and Dozier Schools. Previously, he worked in Kirkwood schools. He was promoted to Principal of Kirkwood High in l9l8 and in l920, superintendent of Kirkwood schools. Mr. Beumer taught for two years at the College of Education of the University of lllinois, where he also did graduate work, and inspected high schools for this university. He is now Assistant Superintendent in charge of St. Louis Elementary Schools. Mr. Hill came to Roosevelt as principal in 1942 from Central, where he was assistant principal. Born in Lerna, lllinois, Mr. Hill received his A. B. at the University of lllinois and his lVl. A. at Washington University. Mathematics and physics, his field of interest, were the subjects he taught at Smith Academy in l9l4 and, two years later, at Yeatman and then Beaumont. He was principal of Benton, Baden, and Henry Schools. Nlr. Hill and all the former principals of Roosevelt are responsible for making our school one of which we are proud.

Education was also advanc- ing, for the person with a high school education was more in demand. About l922 the Board of Education of St. Louis decided to build a high school somewhere between the districts of Cleveland and McKinley High Schools and selected the old cemetery as an ideal spot. After many trans- actions were made, the evacuation of the cemetery began on October I6, l922, and before long the cemetery was cleared. The cornerstone of the school was laid on April 22, l923, under the auspices of the Quentin Roose- velt Post of the American Legion. A crowd of 20,000 watched the laying of the cornerstone at three o'clock that Sunday afternoon. Some of the speakers of the building site were Arthur M. Hyde, Governor of Missouri: Henry Kiel, Mayor of St. Louis: Alvin Owsley, National American Legion Commander, and Lieutenant-Colonel William A. Grey, who served with Theodore Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War and who was marshal of the parade which marched from the Field Battery on Grand Avenue to the school site on that memorable afternoon. The style of the high school building is English Renaissance of the transi- tion of the Tudor and Elizabethan periods, and was built by the E. C. Gerbard Building Company under the direction of R. M. Milligan, the archi- tect, and E. S. Hallett, chief engineer of the Board of Education. By February 2, l925, the largest and finest high school, in Missouri was opened for occupancy, although the interior was not completely finished. Mr. Armand Miller from McKinley High School was made principal. The faculty was composed largely of McKinley High School teachers, although a number came from other high schools in the city. Succeeding principals have been Mr. Maynard M. Hart, Mr. Charles Ammerman, Mr. Edward H. Beumer. Mr. Stanley Hill is the present principal. l , 5 , V K U V ld ' if ' I .l 1 1 -,, i f .1 V N -. , 1, , ' ig Y Ei A .g ea 1. Q., st Sixlu-lhrrv OUR SCHOOL BUILDING The Roosevelt High School has the finest campus of any public high school in the city. The lot, extending 913 feet north and south and 606 feet east and west, contains over IZM acres of ground. The building itself has an east and west dimension of 4l4 feet and a north and south dimension of 42l feet. Eleven entrances and four double and two single stairways afford ample accommodations for the speedy movement of large numbers of pupils. The building is of hreproof construction and has a normal capacity of 3l68.

The lunch room can easily accommodate l,500 at one sitting. ln addi- tion are the necessary sanatories, store rooms, and emergency rest rooms for a building of this size. All the machinery in the school is driven by electricity which is generated in the building. The school is also equipped with an automatic telephone and a vacuum cleaner system. The total cost of building, ground, and fixed equipment was Sl,750,000. The cornerstone was laid under the auspices of the Quentin Roosevelt Post of the American Legion, April 22, l923, and the building was ready for occupancy February 2, l925. -'7' ff' - ' fi , 'zu V7 6,1 I ' ,7 7 ,ff A JI' x. ,yn V 2, lt . fi . if ' ' f , , , if.

Sulu lou: LETTERS FROM FORMER TEACHERS AT ROOSEVELT Your letter of September I9 asking for a sentence or more of memories from the opening of Roosevelt nearly twenty-five years ago is at hand. l, with the entire McKinley faculty, moved to Roosevelt at the opening of the first day of school. Two-thirds of the faculty and students were from McKinley and the other third was from Cleveland. l can still hear the noise of the carpenters and masons while they were finishing the building. They worked through the entire first semester of school at Roosevelt. l remember also the quagmire that the athletic field was at that time, and occasionally a skull or some other bone of the body would appear on the surface. l remember the spring football when Ted Sausselle made his first appearance at spring football. He later became one of St. Louis's outstanding football stars and was outstanding when we won from Schurz High School. champions of Chicago. l was athletic director at the time and had many problems finding a place to play and getting materials for the use of the teams. l spent many happy days at Roosevelt, and want to wish the yearbook staff, the faculty and the administration many happy and successful years. Sincerely yours, R. Nl. INBODY. Principal, Beaumont High School. You have asked me as a retired Roosevelt teacher to send a retrospective message for the l949 Bwzlnu. ln thinking what my reply should be to this invitation l realized suddenly that it would be received by young people whom l had never known and to whom l was equally unknown. l retired from teaching nine years ago and at that time had taught art classes in Roosevelt for fifteen years. Plainly plenty of time has elapsed since that for the slowest, tardiest freshman in Roosevelt to have graduated and passed on to some degree of adulthood. l enjoyed my years of teaching in Roosevelt thoroughly and beyond all telling. Something of its vivid charm stays by me as an impression too deep to be erased. But the real keynote of my enjoyment and interest was sounded by the stimulus and inspiration that came from the close, responsive co-operation existing between my girl and boy pupils and myself as their director. This was a unifying, liberating experience for me as an individual person. It is time to make my farewell bow to HLLYIUII. Yours sincerely, ANNA L. PLACE Slfxlq-s1.x' Hearty congratulations on the steady growth of Bwaml. and many sincere wishes for its continued success. MARIAN K. VARIAN Vividly l recall the years l spent at Roosevelt. The faculty and student body were most cordial, and I enjoyed my work there very much. The pupils of my own classes were always grand. l still remember a great many of them: and when I learn they are filling fine positions in. life, l am doubly proud of them. L. M. PARROTI' l do hope that BLL'c1r7c1 may survive to a ripe old age to add another twenty-live years to its record of achievement as well as many new names to the growing list of those that have brought honor and distinction both to BLL'ul7c1 and to Roosevelt. ANITA T. BATTLE l have just this one thought and that is How much shorter twenty-five years in the past is than twenty-five years in the future. My hope is that Roosevelt will serve the community in the next twenty-five years as well as, if not better than, it has in the past twenty-five years. LOU EWERS Roosevelt High may well be proud of the first quarter century of its history-proud of the leadership of its executive staff, of the competence of its faculty and especially of the record of its students, many of whom shed honor on their Alma Mater by their patriotic services in World War, and others who have been notable successes in business and artistic achieve- ment. Not one alumnus but must feel that he is worth more to himself and lo the world for his years at Roosevelt High. One of my most vivid remembrances of the old school days is the hejira of the whole McKinley faculty from McKinley High to the new Roosevelt High in January, l925. Mr, Armand Miller, our well-liked principal, col- lected his faculty flock and marshalled us a-foot over the long blocks from the corner of Russell and Missouri to 3220 Hartford to give us official introduction to the new abode of learning: and one cherished souvenir of those old days is my copy of Volume one, Number one, of BLL'tll7lI issued in june, l925. The banners of Roosevelt High and BLL'tll74l--l0I1g may they wave! SUSANNE WILLIAMS Sl'.x'1y-Artmrv l'd like to have called attention to the time when l first saw Roosevelt, but it would have taken too long and wouldn't have been appropriate. l often think of it: we had to take loads of Slulf over from McKinley and had to do it after school most of the time. There were no walks, some planks had been laid down from the street to the door of the building, and teachers and freight were transported by foot power into the building. with mud inches deep if one happened to step off the planks. The building was cold, it was rainy and snowy all the time of the moving, and we had to unpack the boxes and crates of material we'd packed at McKinley during the days before. lt was no fun at all, and almost every member of the faculty had -colds. The beauty of the building didn't appeal to any of us at the time, though lVlr. Miller called it Hour million-dollar school building . Roosevelt High was the model school building of its time, and its first faculty had the high hope that its work would be of as high a standard as the building itself. May those hopes continue to be in process of realization as the years go by! JENNIE A. WHITBECK Congratulations on BLL'tIl7tl'S silver anniversary! My copies of BLLYIIMI are among my prized possessions. Lots of luck to you! IVIILERNA SCHLUTIUS YATES l will not forget the excitement experienced by all of us when we moved to our beautiful new school, Roosevelt High School, in the middle of the school year l924-l925, and how proud we were of our new rooms and equipment. Three years later, we dedicated a new stadium on North Kingshighway by winning league, City and St. Louis-Chicago inter-city Championships in football. Our school spirit was the envy of all schools in the district and inspired our teams to win many championships. LEE. R. CARLSON Please accept for yourself, your faculty, advisor, and the entire staff my sincere congratulations upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of Btuunu. Years ago l served as faculty adviser of the McKinley Carnation and l am therefore quite familiar with the various problems that confront your staff. You are all gaining a most valuable experience in creative writing, editing and advertising, which will stand you in good stead in the years to come. Furthermore, a yearbook, like BLUUIYCI. moulds and sustains a proper school spirit and establishes an enduring loyalty. ERNEST C. HOFFSTEN Stix! if vrqht I remember best the zest and earnestness with which the pupils of the school participated in the first election for mayor AND the fact that the mayor elected with a GIRL, who conducted the office with efficiency, tact and an unusual poise- charm might more correctly describe it. There has been but one girl mayor since. The history of England's records no KING under whom the name England meant more than in the reign of Elizabeth or of Victoria. Well, girls? AUGUST C-ROSSIVIAN l'm pleased to have the opportunity to wish Bwuna continued success. MARGARET LYNCH As I count over my many years in the classroom, it is with a feeling of genuine pleasure that I recall my stay with dear old Roosevelt. The fine courtesy of the students and the warm friendliness of the faculty helped immeasurably to make life well worth its while in those good old days-. j. H .CASTLEMAN Greetings to the faculty and student body of Roosevelt. I have carried very happy memories of my days as one of you and still clo. Your request brought to mind the interesting campaign to name Bwana. Continued success to youl FLORA E.. HENKE When my appointment to the new Roosevelt High School came through twenty-five years ago I was in New York, nearing the close of a rejuvenating year of leave. So on opening day I felt almost as young and eager as a Freshman. Beginnings are wonderful things. The best I can wish for you all, teachers and students, on this silver anniversary is a renewal of that faith and hope with which Roosevelt opened its doors a brief quarter of a century ago.

TI-IE MAYORS OF ROOSEVELT The following are those pupils of Roosevelt who attained the position which is the goal of every Rooseveltian: that of being the mayor of our school. The mayor has such duties as presiding over the Student Council meetings and introducing the speakers in the auditorium sessions. All of these mayors worked diligently and performed their duties to the best of their ability. Each lived up to the honor of the title of Roosevelt High School. xit'L't'l FEBRUARY SEPTEMBER 1925 Laura Briscoe Frank Willniarth l926 Ernest Hill Beatrice Audrain I927 Harry Behrman George l928 Sam Waymer John Roguslci l929 Ferguson Baxter Pearson l930 Robert Mueller Larry McDougall I93I Harry Babbitt Robert Crodzensky l932 James Albert Schoenbeck IQ33 Gene Beare Don.

Usually the boy editor presides over the staff meetings and the girl assumes the duties of secretary. With the help of the staff and the moderators the editors have brought to their classmates the most enjoyable and the most interesting book possible: a book that their classmates could treasure and which would bring back to them many pleasant memories through the years after their graduation. BLULIVICI is published once a year, in january. Among its many and varied features we find the pictures of january and June graduates: group pictures of organizations and an explanation of their purposes and functions: a full report of all sports activities and pictures of the teams: essays, cartoons, and pictures of life about school: and the Bwuna Calendar, which gives a summary of all the important events at Roosevelt for the year. The staff is composed of a group of students recommended by their teachers for their outstanding ability in composition, art, typing, and, above all, their willingness to work and their dependability.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! There's a meeting this morning and as usual l'm going to be late. Buses are always terrifically slow on Mondays, and legs just don't move fast enough. l dashed up the steps and yanked open the door just in time to say Here to my name in roll-call. Now to relax and take that extra wink of sleep missed this morning, but after twenty minutes some foolish person said, Meeting adjourned! and l had to move out of my desk in the sun into a crowded hall. ' Oh! Oh! There's the old gang, let's see what's going on. What did we do at the Track Meet, huh? Won, of course, what else did you expect? l had to miss it, but l bet it was exciting. Sure was. And then the advisory bell rings and everyone is off in a dash, can l keep up? One step inside and l'm on time! Whew! The bulletin, more advice and still more news from the others is collected at this time, some of it rather precious. On to first, second, and third period classes. Since this isn't Thursday and hence no Student Council Meeting, l saunter into Rough Rider Office to see if any further contributions to F. B. l. would be appre- ciated. No? O. K. Hereafter l'll keep my news to myself. After a fourth period filled with inside messages saying it's time to eat, l rush into the lunch-room, hoping l'm in time for a hamburger. Gulping here and there, l finish a hurried lunch in between gossiping. Oh, how l love a fifth period study! There's nothing like sleeping after a hearty meal that didn't quite agree with meg gym the sixth period does a good job of waking me, only to go into Bwana Office the seventh, looking like the Wreck of the Hesperous fread that in American Lit.J. Trying to wear off the fat collected from sleeping after lunch is the job of the tireless gym teachers, tireless enough to keep me jumping. At last the bell which ends another day, How much l'm going to miss it all-the friends, the rooms, the classes, and even the teachers-when graduation comes and goes. lt's been a lot of fun being with so many people, doing so many things, and even enjoying classes at the same time. You think it's impossible? The little homework didn't spoil the fun in Chem, especially not the mixing, heating, and surprise at the wrong results. The many picture shows in Art Appreciation added a lot to the day, and finding out that Shakespeare isn't so difficult was fascinating. On the other hand there were the in-between-class times for that all important Ugab session, the lunch periods on the lawn and the after school ice-cream cones. These all made up into perfect days. lt's going to be a bit sad leaving all this behind, never again to be ex- perienced. How often I'll wish l were back l don't know, but it will be hard to count the lonely moments when my thoughts will wander to the hall of Roosevelt High School, longing for the old crowd, remembering the wonderful good times. Cratefully l'll repeat: 'iThank you, Roosevelt, for the four most wonderful years of my life. PEGGY BRADEN Scvvriru .wiwrv 1 S1-L 1 nlu vu '- H235 -- 50 HOBBIES AND CLUBS A stranger visiting Roosevelt would be surprised and amazed by a great many things. One amazing thing he would discover is the large number of clubs and organizations that are recognized and encouraged by the school. Roosevelt for its entire twenty-five years has encouraged its students to engage in some extra-curricular activities, whether it be athletics or picture- taking. The faculty, too, has recognized the need for diversion from aca- demic work and so have entered whole-heartedly into the activities of the clubs. Many are club moderators and give up much of their time to make their clubs successful. Great men in high ofhces frequently pursue hobbies to which they devote a few minutes each day. These few minutes relax them from the tremendous nervous pressure that is being exerted upon them hour after hour and day after clay. Many a one has stated that the only thing that prevented him from having a mental breakdown was his hobby. in this age, with the world moving at such a rapid rate, a person is under mental strain almost con- stantly. Under these conditions a hobby is a necessity, not a luxury. When a student enters Roosevelt, he is urged to join some hobby group or club. At first he may wonder why. He will probably be thinking that the only reason he is in high school is to prepare for college. That type of thinking is only half right, for one of the high school's biggest jobs is to develop personality. A person may be very brilliant: but if he doesn't have a good personality, he will never get far in this world. Development of a person's personality is as important as his having all Es on a report card. Clubs and organizations teach a person how to get along with people of varied types. They teach him to be a leader when necessary and a good follower, always considerate of the other fellow and willing to help him in every way he can. School organizations and clubs are as indispensable to a modern school as are books, paper, and pencils.

'W ' 1 ,, 45 Eiahlu-on BWAN A l wonder if, when you look over your year book of this year and years back, you stop to realize that, for twenty-five years a Bwana Staff has been packing away memories for the students of Roosevelt High School, pre- serving for them the joys of the best four years of their life. Glance through this book, look at the pictures that the staff has pasted there to remind you of the big track meet, or the ever famous lunch-room. lockers, or class rooms. Pleasant reminders, aren't they? Since such things can't be bottled up and taken as medicine when needed, they have been bound together between two covers, kept tight for you through the years. See the familiar faces: you might not see them again after you graduate, for classes have a strange way of dissolving after that big night, so there on that page you have the picture of a friend and looking at it a host of fond memories crowd in and you say Remember when . . Days and months pass: and then you try to, at least in part, re-live a moment of your teens. The articles too, hold a lot of interest for you, our victories and defeats in sports down in black and white, collected and put together by some staff member to remind a letterman of the big game. Though each Bwana has been on the same order as the one before, it is singularly different because your picture, or something you took part in, went to make it. lr would probably be of little interest except for curiosity's sake, to an alumnus of ten years back, but this is yours alone! Yours to treasure, yours to glance through during lonely moments, and yours to cherish as a part of your life. The Bwana Staff spent time, willingly and unselfishly, to collect and keep scores of memories for future reference. Many students, as well as the patient and tireless moderators, Miss L. A. Nerud, Miss M. Burke, and Miss L. Solfronk, have saved reminders of as many good times as can be dreamed of in a life time, wishing only that they could be re-lived. You think it's been tedious labor pasting, cutting, writing, and typing for BWANA? Something you enjoy is never labor. We have gained just a little more out of these experiences and had a few pleasant times in sealing up your Treasure Chest of Memories. Before fchool, during study periods, and at any moment we had free, we tried to add a little more to the book or to prepare another section for the printer or the engraver. If you read your book and notice everything in it, we shall have suc- ceeded in making an Anniversary lssue-in preserving for you another wonderful high-school year.

Led by strutting majorettes, it marches down the held and marches back again, making a brilliant splash of color on the gridiron. This active organization also participates in many civic and social events, as the clean-up parade and various programs. This group played an important part in the Musical Hodge Podge entitled Room 39 which was presented by the lnstrumental Department in the school auditorium April 8, l949. Under the leadership of Mr. l-lumfeld, the band has achieved a prominent position in the life of Roosevelt and, to all appearances, will long retain it. Unv Humfrml l 14't'm'r: SERVICE GROUPS The service workers are among the most important people in the school, although not much is heard about them. These pupils willingly give up their free time so that our school will run smoothly. lncluded in the service groups are: the door monitors who are stationed at the various exits of the building during the lunch periods and after the sixth period to see that no one leaves the building without a pass. The book and supply room boys have charge of distributing books and supplies to the teachers. The office girls may be found busily working in the outer office, helping Miss Sommer, or assisting Miss Duffett and Miss Eisenhardt in the Guidance Office. The girls who work in the il-rustee's Department have a great responsibility for the carry money to and from the bank, and perform many other duties. All these people receive service points for their work. r f1i:.'r'f1lw1 In rlu' A if ' Sy f 4 i Y, , , 5 1. f' Q V 1 -v 1.

Again we can be proud of our track team because of services rendered by Mr. Van Reen. Mr. Neumann coached the swimming team. Mr. Lake helped not only in coaching track under Mr. Van Reen and in coaching baseball earlier this year, but he was responsible for football as head coach. Mr. Rogers, who came to us in the middle of the basketball season of l948-I949, took over its supervision and, also, assisted Mr. Lake with football. Mr. Lorenzen again turned in a fine job of coaching tennis. l..et's hope that, in the future, we shall be as lucky as now and as in the past in having such coaches. JACK WELCH o ,f si Um' llumlrmi TLL'f'17lr1'Iuu1' SCHOOL SPIRIT What is this thing called School Spirit which we hear of every term? How many of us could give a well-rounded definition of it? Not many, l fear. Why not? Because all we ever do is hear of it, not practice it. We are supposed to go to the Pep Auds to create in ourselves some enthusiasm: but half of us sit there like deflated footballs, and watch, expecting our neighbors to do the work. ls that our conception of school spirit? If it is. we had better remedy it, and soon! But how can we build up school spirit? That is the question. One way is by supporting our school's activities to the utmost of our abilities by lending our aid and energy. But most of all, by being proud of our school and keeping up its morale. We can begin this important program right now, by focusing ourselves on the activity which is, or should be, foremost in our thoughts: football. Of our team we should be extremely prouclg for they represent our school: upon their shoulders rests a great deal of our school's honor and prestige. Here, l might point out, is a priceless example of true school spirit. These boys assemble even before school convenes in September, in order to pre- pare themselves for the season. They exert all their efforts to compose a team to merit your attention. But what is even more admirable is that they never give up, never tire of their duty toward you, no, not even at times when there seems to be but little hope left. This is school spirit! If the team can do its part, why can't we do ours? We should feel it our duty to attend the games regularly: to support the team, to do the most in our ability to uphold the morale of the team, of our team. Let us, each and every one of us, look into ourselves, clear our consciences, if need be, of the lack of school spirit we find. Now is the time to start a fresh slate, not tomorrow, but now!

BASEBALL Early in February, Coach Lake called a meeting of all boys interested in playing baseball for the Roosevelt team. A large number of boys attended this meeting and hopefully practiced in the gym the following evenings. After a week or so of these practices, it was seen that the competition for the different positions was extremely keen. Coach Lake regretfully trimmed the team down to its maximum number and looked forward to the teams twenty-game schedule. Playing its first game of the season, the Roosevelt nine dropped a 5-4 decision to C. B. C. The Riders were held to three hits which showed the effects of not enough outdoor conditioning. Wally Anders and jim Metcalf did the hurling for Roosevelt, while Guy Kammien pounded out two hits. The lack of timely hitting caused Roosevelt's second defeat of the season to St. Mary, 4-0. Several times during the game, men were in scoring posi- tion, but each time St. Nlaryis team rose to the occasion to retire the side. Um' Humlrmf 'lihirlu On April 4 Central defeated Roosevelt by the score of 3-2. A fourth inning rally by Roosevelt in which two runs were pushed over fell short of tying the score. On April 5 the Riders broke out in a rash of hitting as they defeated Webster Groves, I2-6. Ray Maurer lead the Riders by collecting four hits in four trips. Bob Kammien started the hitting fever by blasting out a double as lead-off man. Charley Raich and Don Rakey held the Statesmen to six runs on six hits. Facing excellent pitching the Riders bowed to Cleveland, 4-3. The Crimson White was held scoreless until the seventh inning, when a triple by Guy Kammien and two walks started a three-run rally. Cleveland brought in a relief pitcher, however, and managed to put out the fire. On April I l, playing at Public School Stadium, Roosevelt lost a pitching duel to Soldan-Blewett, 4-3. jim Metcalf hurled a brilliant game, but unfortunately the breaks were against him. The Riders scored two of the runs as the result of errors and the other on a walk. The Rough Riders playing at Sublette Park threw the Steers of South- west for a I3-4 defeat. Six runs in the Roosevelt half of the third inning iced up the game. Wally Anders added insurance by clubbing a grand slam home run in the seventh inning. The team was red hot at bat, collecting eighteen safeties in their most impressive victory of the season. Suffering a 7-0 shut-out, the Rough Riders experienced a day in which nothing went right. The hitting of the Blue and Gold team was the big factor in their victory. ln one of their better games Roosevelt stung the Hornets of Hadley, 7-I. Receiving excellent pitching from Charley Raich and timely hitting from Kammien, Kalbac and Maurer experienced no difhculty in subduing the Hornets. The Riders fighting back in the last of the seventh managed to overtake Lutheran High in a practice game. Losing by 5-2 going into the seventh, Roosevelt pushed across four runs due to the home run by ,lim Metcalf and hits by Fick, Bob Kammien, and Joe Kalbac. The Rough Riders were out-hit by the Central Red Wings in a 9-2 game. Wally Anders and Jim Metcalf did the hurling for Roosevelt, while Jim Fick and Bob Kammien collected three hits. apiece. On April 25 McKinley massacred the Roosevelt baseball team by the gridiron score of I3-0. The Rough Riders were held to one hit, a single by Ray Maurer. Roosevelt got on the band-wagon and bet the Dutchmen of Cleveland on May 2 by the score of I3-I l. Mick Sease was highest scorer of the day with three runs. Ray Maurer was second with three hits. Three pitchers were used with Guy Kammien getting the victory. May 5 proved a good day for Roosevelt when they edged out Soldan- Blewett by the score of 6 to 5. jim Metcalf's pitching and his two hits along with three safeties by Ray Maurer, led the batting field of the day. Om' Huridrvd Thirlq-om' The Riders were thrown by the Longhorns of Southwest in a one-sided game with the score of 9 to l. jim lVletcalf's pitching was excellent but errors throughout the game proved costly. The Red Caps were held to four hits, while allowing nine runs. Our Rough Riders were smothered by Beaumont in a lop-sided game with the score of 9 to l. The lone run was a homer by Mick Sease. jack Bolhafner was the outstanding fielder of the day, who playing his first game, made some beautiful catches. On May l6, the Hornets of Hadley stung the Riders with the hnal score being I3 to 8. Wally Anders had a perfect day with four for four. SCHEDULE OF GAMES March 25 Roosevelt vs. C. B. C.

Um' Ilumirwl 'l'h1rlu A TRIP TO COLUMBIA TO THE STATE MEET The day finally broke, clear and rather cold. At eight o'clock in the morning, about forty-live hopeful Roosevelt students, our faces shining ex- pectantly, gathered in front of our Alma Mater. We clambered aboard the bus which was to carry us to Columbia, Missouri, for the long-awaited State Track Meet. Cheering and singing all the way, we reached our destination at about ten o'clock. We were all eager to see the many sights on the huge campus of Missouri University, so we hurried over to meet two Mizzou students who were to be our guides for the morning. They showed us the different class- rooms, the beautiful sorority and fraternity houses, and many other interest- ing places. lt was noon by this time and everyone felt starved because we had eaten an early breakfast. After dinner, we decided to do more sightseeing, and then go to the stadium in time for the track meet. By two o'clock the stadium was packed with representatives from schools from every part of the state, each anxious that his own school return victorious. The sun shone down brightly and the meet proceeded. Finally, it was all over and the stadium was deserted and lonely. Roosevelt fans were disheartened. But the sun was still shining, and our team had done their very best. Maybe next year we will be the victors. So dozens of tired, but loyal, fans boarded the bus, the track team got their special bus, and we rode back to St. Louis, sad that we had lost, but happy for an opportunity to take such an interesting trip. IMOGENE BROWN YEA, ROOSEVELT! Whatis more exciting than a Roosevelt football game? Fun and the cheers fill the autumn air at the stadium as the fans await the kickoff. S-s-s-s, boom! The game starts with a bang. As the team fights for a gain, the students in the stands prepare for a cheer. The cheerleaders lead usg we yell in chorus to encourage our Rough Riders on the field. After two quarters of the game comes the half break. Our enthusiasm is increased by the music of the band now marching on the field, forming the initial R, and then that of our opponents. We rise as our Alma Mater is played. The band leaves the field as the teams run out for the second half. There is wild cheering. Two more quarters and the signal for the end of the game blares out to our ears. Roosevelt played a fine game! remarks a fan to me. But my reply is only the nod of my head, for my throat is raw from cheering, Yea, Rooseveltli' MARLENE BASTIAN Om' llundrml Thiriuprhrm' THE CANDIDATES FOR TRACK QUEEN ARE INTRODUCED At the end of the first lunch we all gathered in the auditorium, eagerly anticipating seeing the six girls selected by the student body to be candi- dates for the coveted honor of Roosevelt's Track Queen. Marie Smelcer, president of the Pep R, told us of the preparations the Pep R makes for Field Day and the crowning of the Track Queen. She said the Queen's robe and the crown had been placed in the show case. The Track Queen this year will have a new robe, thanks to Joan Falconi's mother. For the first time, Pep R will give the Track Queen a beautiful gold cup as a remembrance of her reign. The girls presented were Patricia Demick, Margie Hadggega, Joyce Kissner, Jeanne Rose, Louise Wishon, and Patricia Wingman. ERLINE HAPPEL 'iff Y CORONATION OF THE TRACK QUEEN MAY 26 The day of the Queen's Coronation-who was the Queen? The expec- tant students, pouring into the auditorium, were greeted by the stirring music of Mr. Humfeld's band. The six white-clad trumpeters added to the suspense as their three flourishes echoed through the auditorium. After a pause, the stately strains of the Coronation March were heard and the track maids made their entrance. All eyes were upon the maids. Margie Hadgegga, Pat Wingman, Jeanne Rose, .Ioyce Kissner, and Louise Wishon, as they went down the aisle. Finally, amid thunderous applause, our new queen, radiant Patricia Demick, started to her throne, looking every inch a queen in her scarlet satin robe. Escorted by Mayor jim Metcalf, she knelt before the retiring queen, ,lean Zagel, who placed the sparkling crown on her blond hair. Before a background of scarlet and white, she smilingly received the applause of her subjects. After the cheers for the two queens, Marie Smelcer, President of Pep R, presented the queen with a gold cup as a remembrance of the occasion. Mr. Gammeter introduced Coach Rogers and Coach Van Reen, who spoke on our previous championships and told us that our track team hoped to win our seventeenth Public High School League Track Championship. Coach Van Reen introduced the members of the track team and told something about each one. He then introduced jim lngalls, Junior Captain, and Don Beard, Senior Captain, who gave short pep talks. As the curtain closed slowly, we sang our Alma Mater, feeling proud of our queen, our track team, and our school. RANKA BOCDANOVlCH CHARLOTTE BUSSE Um- Hundred Thing -four PATRICIA DEMICK Track Queen Il AS WE TRACKMEN FEEL The day before Field Day all you students gather in the auditorium to witness the crowning of the Track Queen and to hear us, the boys on the team, assure you we will win tomorrow. Oh, if only we could just be plain old students, sitting out there so happy and confident! Weire scared- really scared, but yet we're proud, so proud of our friends out there cheer- ing for us. Maybe we're a little embarrassed, sitting here with hundreds of eyes staring at us and wondering if we look as scared as we feel. The ordeal is soon over, however, and as we leave, the coach reminds us to get to bed early, and please to take care of ourselves. The big night arrives clear and cool. Up in the stands at the stadium our band is playing, and the seats are rapidly filling. But down here in the locker room itis rather quiet. Now and then a few jokes are made or some- one speaks of winning an event, but the laughs are strained and the silence is tense. There really aren't any rivals here, only friendly opponents intro- ducing themselves and teasing each other. As we leave the locker room for the field, our nervousness increases. Warming up, we can see the stands, a brilliant mass of crimson and white. And the cheers-they're so wonderful and encouraging to hear! Then our event is called, and we line up with the others for the starting gun. Some- times we wonder whether we'll finish and whether we'll win. Then the starter gives us the signal and we rung we're out to win, and we run like anything. We can think of nothing but to keep going and to use all our effort to pass the runner ahead of us. Then, as suddenly as it began, the dash is all over, and our team-mates rush out to put their arms around us and congratulate us. All we can think of now is how glad we are that it's over. When the results are announced, we are proud as we can be, for we know we did the best we were able to do, and the students must know it, too, since they cheer us madly. Now the big night has come and gone. The stands are empty, except for the paper streamers and the soda bottles. The band and the cheerers have long since gone. Everything is hushed as we dress. There is even less talk, for we are all tired, very tired now that the strain is over, and we're going home. ERLINE. HAPPEL DON BEARD 75 t X. j is WL dilka Um- llundruf ilihlffll xxx IJ Om' Humlrvd Thirly-.wL'un THE BIG NIGHT All day, the school has felt excitement throbbing around its corridors. Everywhere, little groups of tense students are collected to discuss the prospects of the night. Hey, Jim! You coming to the meet tonight? Oh, sure. Fine, l'll see you there, then. Or, HO. K. kids, keep your fingers crossed. Here's hoping our team pulls through again. Suddenly a bell rings, and a stream of babbling humanity turns and races in one direction. Now, all studies are forgotten, as students and teachers crowd excitedly into the auditorium. lnside, led by five spirited cheer leaders, the ful!-throated cry of every person in honor of the school's heroes-to-be rises with boundless energy, until the walls, too, seem to join in the spirit of the students. The full, loud, loyal, Yeah! Track! Yeah! Team! Yeah! Yeah! Track Team! Show clearly how dear this night is to everyone. Field Night! The time for our boys to prove to all, everyone, everything, that we're good-exceptionally good! Later at the stadium, the packed stands again echo the triumphant cheers of the supporters. Roosevelt has turned out to watch its mighty athletes racing to another victory. With each event, the excitement grows. The spectators are anxiously hoping against hope that their boys pull through: the coaches, anxiously are giving last minute instructions, and the boys themselves, realizing that the responsibility rests with them, lapse into a nervous silence, full of their self-conscious and doubtful thoughts. ln each race, as the boys near their home stand, they become conscious of a definite roar. Oh, please, fellas, just a little more. That-a-boy! Keep it up! And inside. each contestant knows he cannot disappoint them. Gradu- ally, he finds the distance between himself and the figure in front lessening. The din from the stands increases. Pulse rate beats faster and faster, as the boy gains slowly, inch by inch, until, with one supreme effort, he breaks out-first! Now the roar is deafening. A proud flush creeps into the boy's face as his team-mates slap him on the back. The feeling comes slowly into his exhausted mind, as he recognizes the cries of his school, and his friends. He didn't disappoint them. From their hope he drew strength, and with it. fulfilled their hope. This is exultation-glory! This is victory! THIS IS ROOSEVELT! TRAUTE FISCHL ,fi flgfli f Om- Humlrud 'l'h1'r1u -vrght i TRACK. 1949 liven before the last snow of winter had melted, Coaches Van Reen and Rogers set themselves to the task of getting some new talent for the track team that would represent Roosevelt in l949. On February 4, a meeting of prospective trackmen was calledg about 175 boys responded. They were put to work in the halls after school, and after some uweeding out, they moved outdoors where they began practicing in earnest. With over thirty-five returning lettermen and an unusually large number of new track men, Roosevelt had excellent material with which to develop another championship team, and the Missouri State Champions of l948 were looking forward to a more successful season this year than last. ln our first dual meet, with East St. Louis, the large margin of victory for the Rough Riders foreshadowed our track supremacy for this year. Led by Don Beard, Bob Lawrence, Don Boehle, and Charlie Fehr, the track team piled up I33 points to East St. Louis' 80. History repeated itself in the University City dual meet, as the Uni- versity City lndians shaded a strong Roosevelt team by a narrow IO7 2 3 to IO5 I 3 score. However, our juniors came through with a victory in their division 49-46. A well-balanced Rough Rider track squad successfully defended its Open Division Championship in the annual Maplewood-Richmond Heights Relays. Led by Harvey, who tied for first in the pole vault, the team scored 24LQ points in the open events to I7 5 8 for the runner-up Kirkwood. Although we were favored to win the Relay Division, the unforseen loss of two fast men, Don Beard and Gene Daniels, and the record breaking per- formances of Cleveland and Central, caused us to be defeated. On April 22 we defeated Cleveland's Orange and Blue in a dual meet by a score of IZ3-72. Our South Side rivals were stunned by the perform- Om' Hundrvd Thirru -mm' Q I -.X ' X ? i e S Om' llumflwf fm 40' ances of Kammien. Applebaum, Florida, and Daniels. Daniels upset the highly favored Dendquist, one of the best milers in the state. ln the second annual relay carnival Roosevelt successfully defended its championship in both divisions by top-heavy scores. Our fast sprinters pulled upsets in the 440 and 880 relays, beating the favored Central twice. This was truly a team victory. The high-flying Rough Riders made short work of McKinley in a dual meet by the one-sided score of ISI-IS. Daniels again stole the spotlight by shattering the school half-mile record with a time of 2:03 minutes. On May 7, Roosevelt successfully defended its Senior Division Cham- pionship in the District Meet and also gained revenge on University City, who was runner-up, for the previous dual meet defeat. Roosevelt scored 56 I 3 points to University City's 38. The Juniors showed a good, well- balanced team, coming in tied for second and only two points out of first place. Charlie Moore, in the junior 880, set a new record with a fast 2:06.5. Don Beard paced the seniors by taking first in the l00 and 220-yard dashes, setting new school records in both. Applebaum, in running the 440, smashed his own mark, while Daniels came within .3 of a second of equal- ing the District mark in running the mile. The only mar on our team's successful record came in the State meet: we finished sixth. By a combination of bad luck and mis-timing our team did not perform up to par. The only bright spots were the performances of Don Beard, who was second in the l00-yard dash and first in the 200, and Charlie Moore, only a junior, who ran the 880 in 2:03.5 even though he failed to place. But after being upset in the state meet, the team was more determined than ever to put on a good show Field Night. Many of the boys were gradu- ating, and it was the last meet they would compete in such an event in high school. They had to win! When the day of the big meet neared, it was not surprising that Roosevelt led the list of qualifiers with forty-two. Those forty-two boys that carried Roosevelt's colors Field Night put on one of the greatest exhibitions of track power ever seen at the Stadium. Their total of I40L'j points more than doubled the 64 points that the closest opponent, Cleveland, could salvage from the Roosevelt rout. Senior Captain Donavon Beard again was the speed victor of the senior Rough Riders, winning the I00 and 220-yard dashes and anchoring the third place 880-relay team. Beard was only one of the many stars on the team. There were many other outstanding performers who gave their best for the school. These were the boys that made this team truly one of the best ever to represent Roosevelt. So it was with the satisfaction of a job well done that they wrote Finish to another successful season-champions for the seventeenth time. -fs--f mhxifg.

The successful record of the l949 track squad was clue not only to the fine material available, but also to the tireless and excellent coaching by Clay Van Reen and lrl Lake. Coach Van Reen spent much time scouting the gym classes for likely track prospects and encouraging the boys to turn out for the team. These two men did not spare themselves any effort to make the team a little better. They and their managers, who helped the team and the coaches in many ways, deserve a sincere vote of thanks from the entire school. DON MUELLER LESTER JABLONSKI Um' Ilumlrrd I':1rIxl ILL 1949 TENNIS REPORT When the I949 tennis season rolled around, Roosevelt's tennis master, Coach Lorenzen, began to drum up his roll call for another good team to offset last year's league champs. He had a fine response, for such boys as Rich Leiber and Dave Heartinger from last year's squad returned, together with a good group of new players including Don Busch, Norman Karl, Charles Saussele, and David Keller, all of whom will return as lettermen for tennis, I950. Special credit should be given to Rich Leiber, who, on October l, won the Missouri High School Activities Association Championship. This was the high point of his four-year tennis career, for which he was rewarded by a beautiful trophy and medal. ln the first round of the Public High School League Tournament, Roose- velt started off a little on the blue side of things' when the players dropped four of the five games played against Soldan-Blewett. A grand pick-up in determination enabled the Riders to whip Central soundly, Eve to nothing. Beaumont was a slightly harder job: we came through by only one game, winning three to two. Against Southwest, we kept the same three to two One Humlrml lfmly-lhrw -, -v 941' V 'Y wwn 49' af,-:este ,Q OQQZQQ 5.

When the scores were totaled, it was found to be very close, with Roosevelt shut out of first place by Soldan-Blewett by only two games. The final resutls were: Won Lost Soldan-Blewett 22 8 Roosevelt 20 I 0 ln the individual results: Won Lost Rich Leiber, first singles 6 0 Dave Heartinger, second singles 4 2 David Keller, third singles 4 2 Don Busch, Ray Scheid, first doubles 4 2 Norman Karl, Charles Saussele, second doubles 2 4 A great deal of praise and thanks belong to Coach Lorenzen who trained the boys so that they were able to acquit themselves in such fine style. Both he and they are justly proud of the team and its record-the record of Roosevelt champions.

Reese-veit HiSH!---1-l-- H FOOTBALL 1949 The 1949 football season was one of the most successful Roosevelt has enjoyed in recent years. The Riders' record of four wins and two losses earned them second place in the Public High School League. Although, the team started the season slowly, it finished brilliantly, taking three straight games from hard-fighting teams. On September 24 the Rough Riders dropped their Hrst practice game to St. Louis U. High, 26-0. The Riders, hampered by fumbles, held the junior Billikens for the first quarter and half of the second, during which neither team threatened seriously. St. Louis U. High set up its first touch- down by blocking and recovering a Roosevelt kick. Then, a long run, a pass, a line plunge, and St. Louis led 7-0. The junior Billikens opened the second half enthusiastically, taking the opening kick-off and racing eighty- Hve yards for a touchdown. Because of a Roosevelt fumble, St. Louis scored its third touchdown. With two minutes remaining in the game, St. Louis scored its final touchdown on another Roosevelt fumble. ln our second practice game Friday night, September 30, at Christian Brother College, C. B. C. out-played the Riders I9-7. C. B. C. unleashed Om' Humirvd l'ilJl'1l.l-Sl'L't'l7 a powerful land attack and drew first blood, scoring in the first few minutes of the second quarter. Harry Brown broke through and blocked the Cadets' attempt for the extra point. Abandoning its land attack, C. B. C. took to the air and completed a 50-yard pass that set up their second score. The conversion was good and the Cadets led I3-0. The Riders threatened late in the second quarter when Spicer caught a long pass and raced to the 20-yard line. However, time ran out, and the Crimson and White uprising was quelled. The Cadets took advantage of a Roosevelt fumble in the third quarter and scored again. ln the final stanza, Rich White took a lateral on the 25-yard line and scored. Harry Brown's try for the extra point was good. On October 8, in their first league game, the Riders shut out their tra- ditional south side rival, McKinley. The Goldbugs had their backs to the wall the entire first half. The Riders missed two scoring opportunities, being within yards of pay dirt only to be set back by penalties. The first half ended in a scoreless tie. Wayne Plumlee intercepted a McKinley pass early in the third quarter to set up the Riders' first score. A long pass by Streb to convert, an end-run by Rutherford, and the scoreboard read Roosevelt 6, McKinley 0 . ln the final session Joe Chiecsek carried the ball to the l2-yard line on a deceptive fake kick and run. Plunges by White and Maurer moved the ball to the 2-yard marker. Then Streb carried it over on a quarterback sneak. Roosevelt intercepted another Goldbug pass and Rutherford, leading a powerful land attack, scored again. The final score was Roosevelt l8, McKinley 0. Playing on a rain-soaked field, the Rough Riders dropped a rough game to Cleveland, 27-6. The Riders took the field determined to stop the Cleveland powerhouse. Cleveland scored late in the first quarter. Art Streb sparked the Rider attack with three long passes, which advanced the ball to the 3-yard line. George Rutherford then carried it through the left side for a touchdown. Cleveland steadily pushed the fighting Rough Riders back to the Roosevelt's l2-yard line. There the Riders held and took over on downs. When the half ended, the score was 6-6. A fumble of an attempted punt gave Cleveland its second touchdown. The Cleveland giants scored their Final twelve points on a pass and a line plunge in the fourth quarter. The loyal fans that braved the rain were treated to one of the roughest, hardest fought games seen at the Stadium for a long, long time. The Rough Riders, suffering from a bad case of over-confidence, dropped a 2-0 decision to Southwest. The Steers, taking advantage of a Roosevelt fumble early in the first period, pushed to the I0-yard line before being set back by a penalty. Don Spicer then intercepted a pass on our one-yard line and raced to the thirty-six before being stopped. Late in the second quarter Ray Maurer faded back to punt from his own 2-yard line, but the Steers broke through and blocked the kick. George Rutherford fell on the ball in our end zone to give Southwest a safety. The Riders drove to the Steers' one-foot line in the third quarter but were stopped by the Long- horns. The Steers put on a drive in the last quarter that was stopped only by sending in the second-string line. The game was played in a very slovenly fashion: 200 yards in penalties were assessed against the two teams.

The first half was evenlyrcontested, neither team getting the advantage over the other. A rejuvenated Roosevelt team took the opening second half kick-off and sparked by White, Streb, and Maurer drove to the Tigers' 3-yard line before losing the ball on downs. In the fourth quarter Maurer returned a Tiger punt to the 25-yard line. The combined efforts of White, Streb, and Maurer pushed the ball to the one-foot line. Streb went over on a quarterback sneak. The conversion was wide, making the score 6-0. With only two and one-half minutes remaining in the game, the Riders took advantage of a roughing penalty against the Tigers to score their final touchdown. Streb passed to Maurer for the conversion, making the score I3-0. On Roosevelt's kick-off, the Tigers gave excellent blocking to Ron Suchart, who raced eighty-eight yards for their only touchdown. After a week's vacation, the Rough Riders went out Friday night, November I I, and swampedicentral, 26-0. The score tells the whole story: it was Roosevelt all the way. The Riders showed a powerful air and ground attack that had the Central Red Wings running in circles. Rich White scored early in the first period on a pitch-out from Streb. George Anastasoff set up our second touchdown when he recovered a Central fumble on the 35-yard line. Then Streb passed to Spicer in Central's end zone for our second score. Parks' kick for the extra point was good, and the Riders led I3-0. Don Spicer added six points to the score in the most spectacular play of the game. jumping high in front of the pass receiver, he caught the ball and raced forty-five yards for a touchdown. ln the fourth quarter Roosevelt scored again on runs by Maurer, Spicer, and White. The Riders threatened late in the game when Joe Chiecsek intercepted a pass and scampered seventy-five yards to Central's I5-yard line. A holding penalty prevented another touchdown. Roosevelt wound up the I949 football season Friday night, November IS, by whipping Beaumont, IS-I2. On their first play, the Riders connected with a 40-yard pass which started off a 69-yard drive, climaxed when Don Spicer scored through left tackle. Following the kick-off, Spicer intercepted a pass and raced fifty yards to the Blue Jackets 25-yard line. However, a fumble ended the threat. As the half ended, the Riders led 6-0. Spicer received the opening kick-off of the second half, picked up his interference and raced eighty-five yards for a touchdown. Beaumont scored a few minutes later from the midfield stripe. Spicer again received the kick-off and behind perfect blocking ran eighty-six yards to the Blue jackets' end zone. But this time the play was called back for clipping. The Riders pushed seventy yards for their third and final touchdown. With seconds remaining in the game, the Blue jackets scored on a series of long passes. The entire school owes a vote of thanks to our football team for the fine showing it made this season. Congratulations are due to Coaches Lake and Rogers who, in their first season as head coaches, produced an excel- lent team.

During the season of the various sports--football, basketball, and track-the cheer-leaders are present to aid the people in the stands to encourage the Roosevelt teams. All cheer-leaders are members of Pep R. Each year they elect a captain whose chief duty is to name the cheers and to direct them. At graduation all cheer-leaders are awarded a Cheer-leader's R. All at Roosevelt agree that they are an indispensable part of our athletic meets. A cheerleader is the side-show at a game. Her job is to be able to direct the crowd and to boost the morale of the team. The audience at a game should try to cooperate more with the cheerleader. Too often there are a number of individuals who want to yell, and will do so at the wrong time. This starts a good-natured fight at the beginning of an important play, which is not appreciated by the fans around them. 1 Q er' J 'i A- v9 Y, lg s , !

For example, many people say, l'll have to run now. If you think about the real meaning of this expression, such questions pop into your mind as: Why are they running? Where are they running? Are they running away from someone? Will a prize be given to the person who gets there first? Are they just running to get exercise? Another phrase that people often use is good as gold. ls gold really good? How good is gold? Since our money is on a silver standard, why not say good as silver? Gold can be evil because money is said to be the root of all eviln: and since gold is inanimate and lifeless, how can it be compared to something living? Naturally, something as lifeless as a lump of gold is well-behaved because it does not have an opportunity to be bad. Give gold an opportunity, and what would it do? l believe that the phrase better late than never is not true. From ex- perience l find it should be better to be never than to be late. The per- son waiting for someone who is late is sure to agree that this expression is wrong. Then, there is the expression bless your heart that many of us use when thanking someone. Why give credit to the heart, when the mind really is responsible for your good deed? l agree that the heart deserves a lot of praise, as it keeps us alive, and we could not live without it. But l think this is giving credit where credit is not due. Instead, we should say bless your mind. Of course, we must not forget that well-worn expression fresh as a daisy. This little cliche has been so overworked that the daisy from which it was taken is probably a mouldy heap in the waste basket. Are daisies fresher than other Howers? l have seen some very wilted daisies. How fresh can a daisy be without getting its face slapped? Or does a daisy have a face to slap? Also, there are those people with pearly teeth. lmagine-a set of round teeth! Have you ever seen a person with starry eyes? l have often heard of them, but l am still waiting to see someone who has two stars for eyes. What large eyes these people must have! Besides being huge, these eyes would have five points. I know that if l saw somone with two large five- pointed eyes looking at me, l would be very frightened. ln addition to the people with pearly teeth and starry eyes, are the level-headed people. A level-headed person is one who has common sense, but can only those lucky people with Hat tops have sense? l am sure that if you had a level head, you would have less sense because it would probably be smaller in size, thus decreasing the amount of gray matter. Being a level- headed person may be very convenient at times since you could carry things, such as books, on your Hat head without having them slip and fall. So, if you happen to be a level-headed person, you not only have common sense, but you also have a convenient way of carrying things. Om' H umlrvd S1'.x'1g1-Mfx' How many times have you used the expression, l'll be seeing youu? Haveuyou ever thought about the other person's point of view? How do you know he or she wants to see you again, or hides behind corners to avoid seeing you? Why force your company on people? Why will you be seeing this person again? Did you miss the history assignment? The next time you say l'll be seeing you, think how the other person feels. Another little phrase is snug as a bug in a rug. ls a bug really snug in the rug? Or is a rug really snug with a bug in it? How snug can a bug be in a rug? We'll never know! Now let's get clown to brass tacks. No, let's not: brass tacks are not very comfortable. This little saying is as cute as a button. Now here is another one. But how cute is a button? Do you think a button is very cute? What kind of button is meant-a shoe button, a dress button, a coat button or button eyes? Oh, fiddlesticks! Why fiddle sticks? A fiddle really does not have sticks, does it? How silly some of our expressions really are! Remember, we should not use hackneyed expressions because variety is the spice of life. Now, what kind of spice is variety? Oh, well, this could go on forever!

The art of filling the blanks which are constantly being thrust before me involves accuracy, speed, and legible writing. If l had any one of these, my mind probably would never have lighted on this little-explored subject. My lack of flowing, readable handwriting, which most people around me seem to have, makes this inevitable task of filling forms somewhat of a problem. l usually find of the form, scribbling done. l hope people do There is an indefinite myself struggling along somewhere in the middle barely discernible letters, when everyone else is not judge me too harshly by my handwriting. number of difficulties which may be met in this little considered, everyday chore. At least, l meet them. Besides smearing ink and using messy erasers, l have unconsciously signed my study hall teacher's name on library slips for her fshe didn't like my doing sol, have signed my last name first on forms outside of school where the reversed order is not called for, have done exactly the opposite in school, have put very many things on wrong lines, and so on. These easily avoidable mistakes l somehow find unavoidable. However, the only time there are real problems to face is when l am given a questionnaire. When l decided to apply for entrance into college, l never dreamed of the work involved, especially finding a picture, which is sometimes a vital part of form filling. l don't know why the authorities care to see how l look. The first form was not so bad, but it did require a little effort. Then, after the preliminary application was in, l received a long questionnaire. Do you remember how many colds you had last winter? l didn't. After struggling through the second one, l thought l might as well apply for a scholarship. l am almost finished with the scholar- ship application: and now l am thinking of going to another college. There can be no harm in all this writing, but l certainly wish someone would make it easier. l would like to know how often, in all the name is ever read. The only proof l have that written cards is an occasional letter reminding l was trying to forget anyway. Doubtful though l may be of its absolute can do towards changing the whole system of slips, forms, et cetera.

Perhaps you don't understand what l mean. Let me put it this way. What does the average high-school student do the first thing in the morning? Why, he wakes up. But just what is waking up? You say it is to be aroused, to become active and alert. ls it really any of these things to us? No! When a person is aroused, he is excited. ls the teen-ager excited to wake up and find that it's another school day? More than likely, he just turns over and groans. ls he active and alert? Ah, no! After realizing that he is hungry, he gets out of bed, gets dressed- set in order. He puts on his shoes, which you say are coverings for the feet. You should see some of the shoes the girls are wearing now! And he puts on the rest of his clothing. He then goes down to breakfast, the first meal fcoarsely ground grain, of the day, according to you. He would scoff at such fare. He then meets a friend and goes to school-ua place of teaching, learning, and training. l wonder if every pupil attends for the purpose of learning? Somehow, he lasts through the morning, and then comes time for lunch-ua light meal. He struggles through the afternoon and promptly at 3:0l P. M. races with the gang to the nearest door-Han entrance - it should be called an exit-and out to the nearest favorite hangout for a coke- charred mineral coal -and a hamburger without any ham. Per- haps then he goes to the Hole -ua pit for a few games of pool - a small body of water. ln a few hours, he goes home, because it's supper time and he's hungry. He then gets ready for a date- the edible fruit of a palm tree -without a thought of the homework to be done. Need l go on? I think not. But, Mr. Webster, l'd like to explain that l know youire not to blame for all this. l'm sure you didn't give yourself that name, and you yourself say that a web is a tissue of lies. Therefore, a Webster must be one who is a liar. But don't worry, lVlr. Webster, l understand. PEGGY BRADEN i WW- m7 IIIIII Um' Humlrcrl S4'L'w1lq Um' Humlrml Sm'vf71u-ur WAITING We waited in a doctor's office. Your name, please? Address? This was the question asked all day by the nurse, as patient after patient entered the room. Expressions of all sorts Hashed over the faces of these people as the questions were put to them. A none-of-your-business'' scowl soured the face of the big man stand- ing in the corner, contrasting the soft, shy answer given by a timid little woman sitting on the divan at the end of the room. This was just the be- ginning of the study of human nature on this autumn afternoon-THE. STUDY OF PEOPLE WHO WAIT! People here and there would talk, while others sat gazing . . . just gazing. Others read magazines-pictures only! The little boy across the room began his impish repertoire of childish antics-breaking our ONE monotony into a THOUSAND little ones. Of all places to be a soldier, he had to choose a room full of sick people! Some people would smile in hypocritical politeness, while others telegraphed their feelings with smothered expressions. Chatting with the woman sitting beside her, the mother would exclaim, lsn't he just too cute for WORDS? . . . then a whisper, echoing from elsewhere . . . OF WHAT WORDS? Of course, the little imp, encouraged by his mother's fond words, now started to blitz us with his own victory march: back and forth flike a jet full of jetf, and UP and DOWN like a bouncing bomb. Wham! BOOM! BUZZZZZZZZ. RATATATATAT! lt's your turn, Mrs. Kilroyf' Everyone in the room sighed with delight as Mrs, Kilroy and her little angel disappeared behind the doctor's closing door.

There was a ringing in my ears, so I turned off the alarm. The pillow was soft, and the sun streaming in the window was warm. Lying there, I reflected on the day before me. I could go shopping for a new dress, or since I was practically broke, I could just window shop. Maybe I'c! go down to the theater and see that exciting new picture. Speaking of exciting fl was, wasn't IJ, what could be more thrilling than a picnic in the park or swimming in the warm water of the swimming pool? If only I could swim! But maybe it would be better to borrow my Dad's car and go for a ride. Then the day surely would be fun. All these pleasant ideas ran through my brain, as I lay in that coo! bed. It would even be fun to just spend the day loafing in bed, only getting up every hour or so to eat some strawberry short cake. The more I thought about this beautiful day, the more fanciful became my dreams. I could even-oh, wait, something dreadful has just happened: the most terrible thing just occurred to me! It's positively the worst disappointment ever! I just realized that today is a school day! ERLINE HAPPEL TEN SE MOMENTS First a slight rustling of voices. Then a door here and there along the large corridor opens. A feeling of suspense is in the air. The time on every clock and watch-face freezes all eyes to the impending spot of Zero Hour. Only TEN more seconds now . . . now only NINE. With EIGHT . . . a few books begin to close and now only SEVEN seconds remain then SIX linger on. Will FIVE seconds ever come? Ah, yes! And now it's FOUR . . . and now only THREE! In the auditorium FORTY minutes seem FIVE, but now a second seems a century. Eyes grow wide, grins grow into smiles. Only ONE MORE SECOND and then the alarm rings! A stampede occurs. just a moment ago, you could have heard a pin drop on the floor, NOW . . . what a clattering can be heard! It was just like a calm before a great storm. The talking, the laughing, the shuffling of feet, the WHAM and the SLAM of the hundreds of locker doors--all are a part of it. Then . . . as fast as a great storm comes, the noise goes: not to be heard for two days. Yes, you have probably guessed . . . ANY FRIDAY AT three o'clock AT OUR OWN ALMA MATER. IACK WELCH Om- Hundred Svtwnlyflhrcv CONFUSIONS AND FEARS OF A NEW JAY The first day l spent at Roosevelt l was nervous and afraid: nervous because of meeting my teachers for the first time, and afraid that l was not going to be on time for my classes. Filling out the cards made me wish that l would never see another card again. All the things l had heard about elevator passes, finding rooms, and all the other pranks upper-termers play on New Jays had me confused. Everything here was new: going from one room to another was hardg having study-halls and nothing to do bored me. The first and second lunches had me puzzled, naturally. As all First termers, l couldn't figure out how the fourth period could take care of both lunches. Now all of this and much more is clear. l've managed to get to all of my classes on time with about two minute: to spare. Upper-termers don't play pranks on me very much any more, l've learned about the fourth period, and l have enough to do so that l am not bored. It will be wonder- ful to be a two and not just a plain New jay. HELEN SCHABUS fi.ffsaa,f ? qi D E :- A BASEBALL GAME AND EDUCATION Did you ever stop to realize that school is like a baseball game? The idea of a ball game is to get as many runs as you can and in school to get as many points as possible. The player who sits on the bench doesn't score any credit and neither does the student who just sits and offers nothing. When a player is up to bat, he hopes to make a home-run, and when a student is up to recite, he hopes to make a home-run, or in other words, a perfect recitation. A teacher is like a coach: it's her job to see that we do our work and do it right. ln other respects she is just the scorekeeper: we make the points and she keeps our score. On a ball team each player is required to do his share in the game and is not to rely on a team-mate to do it. The same is true in a class. A ball player is paid off in money or experience, and a student is paid off with a good education. So, you see, school is like a ball game. SHIRLEY CUCKES Um' Humlred SPL'f'l'l1y - four A Mmm Im' llumllcu' S1'L'A'lTll! RECORD REMORSE About two years ago, at a friend's house, l did something that has haunted me ever since. l wake up at night and listen closely, fearfully, apprehensively waiting to hear that dreadful sound again. For the last two years l have been a nervous wreck whenever I am around this thing of dread. This Frankenstein monster of which l speak is in the simple disguise of a phonograph record. This record has my voice, or at least what l call a voice, on it, singing a song called Naughty Angeline. Maybe you remem- ber the song? When sung by an expert it's beautiful. l'm no expert. l was forced to make the record by a group of friends who had just bought a new home-recording outfit and were anxious to try it out. l was the only one around stupid enough to sing into that canned music machine. When l heard the record played back, l knew l had made a mistake. My voice could be compared favorably not with Crosby's, Sinatra's. or any other crooner, but to such assorted things as a fog horn in a boiler factory, a hungry tom cat with his tail caught in a door, the sound produced by scratching one's fingernails against a window pane, and a calf bellowing in an open barn. My voice had the soothing effect of a dentist's drill cutting away at a large cavity. The sound of my voice depended upon what note l hit, or tried to sing. Have you ever heard six bands, with singers, going full blast at the same time? lf you have, you've a rough idea of the sound of that record. As bad as it was, l took it home as a reminder of what one weak moment had done to me. When l reached home, my two older brothers grabbed the record, placed it on the phonograph, and then proceeded to have a laughing fit. For three months I was called Frankie and then for six more weeks, Perry. Everytime l sat down to read some high class literature, such as Superman. Dick Tracy, and Action Comics, out would come the record and l would run outside to escape the ribbing l was sure to get. To persuade me to do something or go somewhere for them, they had only to threaten me with playing the record, and l would fall over backwards trying to do whatever they wished. You may say that l could get out of this predicament by breaking the record, but it's not as simple as that. You see, they hide the thing when they're not playing it and l can't find the hiding place. l guess l'll just have to suffer for as long as the record is playable. LESTER JABLONSKI P. S. l've found it! l've found it! Now to break it. There, it's done: long live freedom, the revolt is here, the shackles are cast off, liberty forever! L. J. ,ir 525 In S W Um' Humirecl St'L't'Y7ltl-SIAX MY ESSAY On the tenth of October I was given the assignment of writing an essay to be handed in on the twenty-fourth. This did not seem like such a hard task, and with so much time-why start right away? Next week after the six weeks' tests would be plenty of time. So one week rolled by without a thought about my essay. Early the next week I began, in my spare moments, to mull over a topic: I had some pretty good ideas, too: but after starting several opening sentences, I found that my topics had no subject matter. By the middle of the week I began to think that my literary career was in a rut, and by Friday I was frantic. No essay, not even the beginning of one: in fact, no ideas came. I was told that an essay was just writing down the things that ran through one's mind about a certain subject. Perhaps I didn't have a mind for anything to run through. No, it was not that, it was just that I went out too often. Friday after school I will hurry home and work until I have finished my essay, I prom- ised myself. But Friday we stopped for cokes, and then looked at the shop windows, it was four-thirty before I reached home. I put on my jeans, took pencil in hand, and began to doodle. I fell to examining my finger nails, the examination led to a complete manicure, and that in turn to an experiment to see if lemon juice would really bleach the freckles off my arms. The telephone rang and my friend asked me if I was going to the dance. No, I have homework to do. She persisted, naming all who were going and finished by telling me that I would not want to miss a dance like this. Well ,... I weakened, I suppose I could write my essay tomorrow. Saturday morning I arose early, but when the clock revealed the time as six, I crawled back into bed and slept till Mom literally pulled me out at seven. After breakfast I made my bed and straightened up my room until the telephone rang. Essays were forgotten as plans were made to meet for the football game. By the time all calls had been made, it was time to get ready. I came home from the game just in time to eat, change, and go out again. Sunday after church, I again made a noble attempt, but Prince Valiant, and Blondie beckoned to me, and . . . you can guess the rest. In the afternoon we went to a program, and then to a friend's home for dinner. Now it is nine o'clock and, having told you just why I am writing this at such a late date, I shall begin my essay. Of course, I still have to do my history, but then, I have a study hall tomorrow. This is the result of my efforts: Procrastination, Its Evilsu Procrastination is a very bad habit, and one which can easily be de- veloped.

BARBARA .IANE STRASSER Om' Hundred Sevvnly-seven THE SPORTS PAGE Did you ever read a sports page in one of the larger newspapers? It is the most confusing page in the whole paper. On the funny page you clearly get the idea presented to you. You have no difficulties at all understanding Little Orphan Annieis troubles or Dagwood's predicament. But on the sports page you need a brain of sixteen cylinders to decipher the headlines. For instance, as l open the paper, this catches my eye: Bosox lose on infield boot. This is very interesting, l guess, if one could understand it. Now maybe l'm dumb, but l surely can't make anything out of that head- line. Perhaps if l break it up l can understand it. Now Bo could mean a hobo or bum, and sox most probably means stockings. Let's see, accord- ing to my interpretation it means A bum in his stocking feet loses his boots in a field. Well, now, thatis really interesting, isn't it? ln the far corner l see this: Nats go down for sixth time. Nats could mean undernourished mosquitoes, of you didnit notice the spelling. Therefore, the headline means that some poor individual is being bitten by mosquitoes for the sixth time: the poor man will look like a pincushion be- fore theyire finished. Lovely Day Starts Off Fly-Casters is another joker. Now who ever heard of a person throwing around an insect just because it was a nice day? Oh, well, it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Another good one is this: Joe Fish Wins Herrin Relays. Of course, Herrin is a misprint. lt should be Herring. Now who in the world is in- terested in the fact that some poor fish named Joe won a herring relay. except maybe the worm that won the prize? Perhaps the prize wasnit a worm, but a caterpillar. Here's one that's self-explanatory: Braves take warpath against indians tomorrow. Looks as if the Indian wars were on again. Somebody put in a hurry-up call for General Custer. l have come to the conclusion that all the sports editors are in a con- spiracy to drive the reading public crazy. l leave you with this gentle re- minder that if you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and with a chill running up your spine, don't blame it on those five hamburgers and pint of ice cream you had, but on the sports page you read before you Went to bed- LESTER JABLONSKI X X G S ' gs K Q0 N X g f? f4v T to 'T Q f iw fo - fx fees-al .

For this occasion the fifth and sixth periods were shortened and the seventh omitted. Mr. Golschman was introduced by Mr. Hill and was given a rousing welcome by the student body. He gave a short resume of the program. The pI'OgI'HIT1 is 35 follows: Mozart Overture to Marriage of Figaro Bizet Suite from Ucarmenn Prelude and Aragonaise lntermezzo March of the Toreadores Schumann ml-raumerei Debussy Golliwogis Cake Walk Demonstrations Sibelius Finlandia Tschaikowsky Symphony No. 6, in B Minor Pathetique, Op. 74 Allegro con grazia Allegro molto vivaci The first selections were light symphonic numbers. This was followed by the demonstrations, which were different from those in the past years. Each section in this order: string, brass, harp, and percussion, came to the front of the stage and demonstrated an instrument. The last two compositions were true symphonic numbers. As an encore the orchestra played Wedding March by Rimsky-Korsakof. The appreciation of the audience was shown by their thunderous applause. PATRICIA PICKETT X - ll .

It is really quite annoying and very dull. First, you start out doing your homework with a zeal your sleepy neigh- bor can't understand. You thought the lesson would simply take hours: but before the period is half done, so is your homework. l would be just perfect if you could go to sleep now fsince it is the seventh periodf, but you have no such luck. just as your head begins to nod, you see the teacher giving you a fixed look. She seem: to say Go ahead. just see how quick l can send you down to see Mr. Gammeterf' Of course, that would never do. You have been down to see lVlr. Gammeter too many times already. Next, you become very interested in the cute geometry pictures the boy across from you is drawing. Oh, he's finished, too. Oh, well, now what can you look at? Look at that bug crawling up that girl's back. Should you tell her? No, don't. It would be much more interesting to see what would happen. Oh, my goodness, it hopped across the aisle and is crawling up that boy's arm. He saw it. That's the end of that bug. Have only ten minutes passed? Boy, time sure goes slow when you have nothing to do, doesn't it? If you could only get up and walk around a little it would help. So ,... up to the desk you go to get the dictionary. Of course, you have no use for it whatsoever, but in a minute you will have a good excuse to walk back with it. This might bring to your mind the old saying, Necessity is the mother of invention. Here comes a messenger with one of those little slips stating that Mr. Cammeter would appreciate someone's presence. You hope it is for you. You are beginning to get desperate. That is, really desperate. Too bad. It was for that studious person sitting right behind you. Now you begin to wonder what Mr. Gammeter would want him for. The thinking is too hard on you because before you know it you are almost asleep. Your head be,- gins to nod .... What was that noise? Where is everybody going? Well, what do you know!

Among the talent representing Roosevelt were Richard Eggerding faccom- panied on the piano by Bob Veechl, Pat Short, Felda Tupper, and the Silver jubilee Quartet. All in all, this interdenominational talent show was fine entertainment. Box lunches, to be paid for in advance, were served for about fifty cents a person. The afternoon part of the conference was held at the Y. lVl. H. A., 724 Union Avenue. The representatives of the various schools separated at that time into different groups, in each of which they carried out together the activity that interested them most: such as research and discussion, band, chorus, art, music appreciation, square dancing and modern dancing. Betsy Edwards and Robert Kuhlman each served as the chairman of one of the research and discussion groups. Work in all these groups was purely spontaneous and therefore its success hinged on the cooperation between the participants. This idea was used because experience and experiment have proved that when people who are supposedly different work together on a project, they quickly find that they are not really so different from each other after all. Roosevelt was well represented at the conference. 4'l 9 as Fx . YN 11? .

Om' Hundred Ninety Om' llumluwl Nmclu on Um' Humlrml Ninvlq Iwo Om' llumirvd AVl'l7L'lU'lhft'l THE SCHOOL AT WORK Roosevelt High School is well-'known for its academic importance, but perhaps its practical value is under-estimated. Throughout its five floors classrooms, laboratories, and work shops are busily educating the young citizens of America in the problems and duties that will comfort them when they leave Roosevelt and enter an increasingly complex world. ln the laboratories the students are given a working knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, and science. They find the answers to such questions as: Why does our blood change color? How does an electric motor' work? How, chemically, does chlorophyll work? Working in excel- lently-equipped laboratories, the students are able to see and perform many of the scientific marvels of the world. Cooking and sewing classes are conducted to give both girls and boys a chance to learn the newest and easiest methods of doing these necessary chores. The students sew anything they desire. Although sometimes it's dangerous, they eat what they cook. To meet the natural demand for self-expression, radio workshop and dramatics are taught. ln these courses the students receive practical experi- ence in acting, scrip writing, lighting, sound effects, and other back-stage activities in a radio or stage play. At least once a term a dramatics class stages a play at the Hilltop Theater on the fourth floor. The radio work- shop class is heard quite often over several St. Louis stations. Woodworking, plastics, metal working, and machine shop practice are taught to introduce students to deep satisfaction that comes from taking raw materials and fashioning them into practical and useful objects. Our work- shops are well equipped, and pupils turn out beautiful lamps, tables, rings, bracelets, pins, foot stools and other attractive objects. Our plastic shop is second to none in St. Louis, either commercial or scholastic. To deal with the powerful influence of the automobile on American society, there are classes in auto-mechanics and driver's education. These courses attempt to instruct our future drivers in the mechanical and social power of the automobile. ln auto-mechanics the students learn what makes the automobile tick , while in driver's education, they learn the danger of its operation and cooperation with other drivers and with traffic regulations. The artistically inclined students may take courses in art, art apprecia- tion, mechanical drawing, machine drawing, architectural drawing, and home planning. Members of Roosevelt classes have won first prizes in state-wide contests. To give students a start in the commercial world, type, bookkeeping, stenography, secretarial practice, and commercial law are offered. Many students from these classes Find, after graduation, that the training they received was invaluable in securing a position. When a Roosevelt student graduates, he should be well-prepared to earn his living: for along with his academic subjects, he has had the opportunity to receive instructions in practical subjects.

Talking is one of the fine arts-and its fluent harmonies may be spoiled by the intrusion of a single harsh note, said Oliver W. Holmes who continued with, A man's style is a man's voice-wooden minds, wooden voices. Whereas Shakespeare said, There is no index of character so sure as the speaking voice. He admonished us with, Speak the words trippingly on the tongue, but some of us have not quite that art. We have difficulty with our sound formations, speech rhythm, or voice quality. Students of Roosevelt High School have the opportunity of receiving help in correcting poor sound formations, and in overcoming other types of speech handicaps such as stuttering, lisping, sound substitutions, sound omis- sions or difficulty in both hearing and speaking because of a hearing loss. The entire speech correction program is devoted to the aim of helping students to overcome such speech handicaps. Should a visitor chance to come to Room 220 any Tuesday or Thursday, he could participate in breathing exercises, tongue and lip exercises, drills on phrasing, lip reading, and various vocal gymnastics which, when he first observes them, appear easy until he himself attempts to do them. Many of us never realize until such an experience that we often do not have absolute control of our speaking mechanism: we only think we have. The speech students have been improving-not because the nature of speech has changed, but that their power of speaking has been increased. The students are learning that it is better to Mend your speech a little lest it mar your fortunes. JEANNETTE E.

Entering, for the first time, one is impressed by the beauty of it all, the spacious room, well lighted by the sunlight streaming in through its Gothic windows, its shelves and shelves of books on one side and the convenient tables, neatly and orderly arranged for the student's use. Well equipped with full sets of encyclopedias, recently issued and authentic histories, scientific guides, timely magazines, and good fiction, the school library affords the students of Roosevelt High School an advantage which is duly appreciated. Books to be used to prepare class assignments may be reserved for overnight use any time during the day before the seventh period. They are issued to students who reserved them immediately after the close of school. lf reservations haven't been made previously it will be necessary to 'wait until the reserved books have been distributed, or until about 3:l0. These books are to be returned before 9:00 o'clock the next morning. Books may be borrowed to prepare book reports and kept out for a week or more. Such unreserved books may be taken out before school or during any period of the day and returned at any time before the date due.
