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
