Dockery, whose recent death we are mourning, had a great and happy influence on her pupils, for she was devoted to her classes and to the College Club of which she was moderator during its long existence. Her lcindliness, her happy wit, her joy in her work are qualities which we shall remember whenever we think of our friend, Margaret C. Dockery.

WHI'FE. TED WILLEI', RICHARD P. YOUR BWANA Here it is, your yearbook, your Bwzma. You race through it now, search- ing for the pictures of yourself and your friends, eagerly turning the fresh pages that send out a faint odor of printer's ink. Your first thought is to make your Bwuna all your own, something living and personal, by cram- ming it with written remembrances of your friends. And, before the day is over, the smooth white pages are covered with scrawling signatures, wise- cracks, words of friendship, x's , and arrows. For a week, the halls are filled with clusters of friends frantically exchang- ing Bwanas. They linger there until the moment before the bell rings. scrambling through the pile to dig out their own. Who has my Bwana? Quick! Don't go until you sign mine. Please, me next. Oh, here it is, l think. No, it's yours. I gave it to Susan. Here it is, on the bottom. Look, you signed it twice. Crouching in the corridors, huddled halfway into a locker, people are signing Bwanas everywhere. You are one of them until the fatal bell rings. and you slide into your class. A lull comesg you are alone with your Bwana. You turn the pages slowly, musing over the things you missed in your initial hasty examination, deciphering the inscriptions left by your friends. Here you frown slightly as you try to imagine who belongs to the unfamiliar nameg there you smile as you find something written in two tones of ink. fwhy is it that pens always go dry when you have written half of your name?D You look over the club pictures, the snapshots. C Why, who took that of me? J The articles, essays, and the calendar all claim. your attention in turn, but it is the scribbles and the scrawls that please you most, for they represent your friends. Perhaps you are a freshman, and this is your first Bwana. You carefully count the signatures of your senior acquaintances, prizing every one. You even have the Mayor's. You were scared stiff to ask, but when you finally sought him out and gathered up courage to ask, you were surprised at his friendliness. Or maybe this is your last Bwana, because now you are a Senior. lt's hard to realize-- Me, a senior! -but there is your picture, your name. lt must be so. The sudden thought that this is your last year makes you feel a little sad. It seems too soon to leave these friends, these good times. Your thoughts turn back to the open Bwana lying before you, already bringing delightful memories. Then you realize that you are not really leaving your friends and good times, for all these are waiting at your fingertips between the covers of this, your Bwana. CHARLOTTE BUSSE , A .

A little later, someone thought of publishing these newspaper clippings and distributing the copies to the students. Eventually the idea of a school yearbook was established, and each year improvements were added by succeeding classes until today we have the book here turned out for you. So too, have we, the Bwuna Staff, added our ideas for the development of the yearbook under the capable guidance of Miss L. A. Nerud, Miss M. Burke, and Miss L. Solfronk. Monday mornings before school we met to turn in data for Bwunu calen- dar and discuss various ideas and topics. Many student-study periods were spent placing and gluing pictures and copy. But gladly we gave our time to help preserve those golden memories of high school days. CARL BOSSERT Mo.

We welcome, this year, Mr. Marx as our new athletic director. He succeeds Mr. Neeb, who efficiently filled the position for many years. Mr. Lorenzen ably coaches our tennis team. Our basketball coach, Mr. Rogers, also assists in track and football. Mr. Lake is our baseball, football, and B-team basketball coach. Last year Roosevelt was sorry to lose M,r. Van Reen, who trained many to win championships in track and cross country. He is efficiently replaced by Mr. Ault, a former Roosevelt student, who will guide the track, cross- country, and B-team football teams on to more championships. The swimming team is under the guidance of Mr. Neumann. With such a fine group of competent men coaching athletics, Roosevelt can look forward to many victories and championships in all fields of sports. H CARL BOSSERT I 1? VX ffl f7.!-fi vf .

The eight lettermen remaining are Art Rebe, Shurley Byington, Les Medley, Don Boehle, Tom O'Driscoll, joe Chiescek, Gene Wallace, and John Carroll. Lee Lasater, Roy Higginbotham, Lloyd Garrett, and Bob Meyer. too, are expected to round out our team. Four good prospects from the 'BU team are Ken Vogge, Russell Schamel, Roy Gould, and Lee Peterson. The games played and the scores are as follows: Rooseveltw. ..,...,. 31 C. B.

LES MEDLEY Ninely-1 1949-1950 The I949-l950 swimming team got off to a fine start on October 3, I949, by electing Don Mueller captain. On December 5, I949, our tankmen defeated Normandy in a pre-season contest held in our pool by the score of 48-IS. We took first place in all events except one, and were sparked by Dick Zumwalt and Paul johns, each of whom scored IO points. To open the regular Public High League season, Roosevelt met the defending champs, Beaumont, on December 8, who beat our team, 46-29. Firsts were scored by johns in the 50-yard free style and Zumwalt in the l00-yard breast stroke. Our 200-yard free style relay team QlVlaurer. Sanders, Bossert, and Sotirj also took a first place. December I5 was a bleak day for our swimmers, as Cleveland won over them 43-32. The Riders fought hard all the way, leading at the midpoint, but the final score was decided in the last event. Again Zumwalt and Johns led the scoring: johns taking first in the 40-yard free style event, and Zum- walt coming out on top in the l00-yard breast stroke. Another top man was Art Broadwater, who was first in diving. Wednesday, December Zl, l949, the Roosevelt tankmen met Hadley at their pool and trounced them 48-27. Carl Bossert was high-point man, winning the l20 individual medley, and swimming on the free style relay team which won. At Central, january 5, the Roosevelt fins met with close competition. The meet was decided by the free-style relay, which Central won: however, Nrinvly-ILUO they were disqualified, and Roosevelt won. Dick Zumwalt sparked the Rough Riders, winning both the l00-yard breast stroke and the l20-yard individual medley. The score was 40-35. Roosevelt had a second meet with Normandy on january ll, I950, where they had an unexpected setback, losing 38 to 28. Because' the Nor- mandy pool doesn't provide for diving, that event was eliminated. At the downtown Y. M. C. A., McKinley was downed by the Roosevelt tankmen, 52-23, january 20. Paul johns was high-point man, winning the l00-yard free style and placing second in the 50-yard free style. Roosevelt fought a hard battle to tie with Beaumont and Central for second place in the Public High School Swimming Carnival held at Wilson Pool, Washington University, January 27, l950. Cleveland was the winner of the meet. The Rough Rider team took first in two of the eight events- the 300-yard medley and the 400-yard breast stroke. Dick Zumwalt, state breast stroke champion, again led our attack. Western Military Academy came to Roosevelt pool February I and was defeated 45-30. Paul Johns took both the I00 and 200-yard free-style events U00 yards is five lengths of the pool here at schooll. Meeting Soldan-Blewett at the Y. M. H. A., February 2, our swimmers took over the meet completely, capturing six of the seven events and winning both relays. The final score: Roosevelt, 575 Soldan-Blewett, IS. The Rider aqua-men ended a fine season by taking fourth place with a score of 2I points in the State High School Swimming Meet, February IS, at Wilson Pool. ln the preliminaries, Roosevelt qualified in two events and two relays in competition with twelve other schools from all over the state, and every Rooseveltian who qualified placed in his event. The highlight of the day came when our 200-yard free style relay team won first place. The members of this team were Paul Johns, Ray Maurer, Bob Maurer, and jack Stevenson. So ended another excellent season and plaudits must go to Coach Neu- mann, Captain Mueller, and all the members of the team for a great job.

BASEBALL Coach Lake called a meeting of all boys interested in playing baseball at half-past eight on the morning of March 2. A large number of boys reported. At the meeting Coach Lake said something to the effect that this might be the championship year. He said there would be no practice inside because of the coal shortage. A temporary schedule of two periods a day: one at 8:30 a. m. and the other at 3:00 p. m., was laid out by the coach for pitchers and catchers only. ln not too long a time the Roosevelt baseball team was ready for St. lVlary's in their first practice game. The final score was Roosevelt 3, St. lVlary's l. The Rough Riders behind George l..eara's pitching and Ray lVlaurer's hitting at the beginning of the season won game after game. The only other man on the squad that began hitting was little Bobby Kammien. By the end of the season Bobby Kammien led the team in hitting with a .545 average, and Ray Maurer was second with a .38l average. Both of these boys were rated as two of the best hitters in the league. I' ll' F 1.26 4 3 1 1 X Ninely-seven Here are the league game scores: Roosevelt . . . , ..., ,.,.

You see, l had lived such a perfect day, that an ending to it seemed almost cruel, no matter how tired l was. But what had happened that had left me so very happy? Well, let's go back to that morning. Once on the Columbia bound bus, the joy of expectation quickly took hold. We were free for one whole day to do anything we liked, to delve into the mysteries of a strange new place and fancy ourselves explorers. Our feelings soon gave vent to an enormous repertoire of popular songs, cheers, and jokes which must have given the patient bus driver more than one headache. lndeed, it seemed as though we would lose our voices long before the afternoon when our cheers would be most needed. Columbia itself would be a rather inconspicuous city of plain brick and wood houses and green trees, were it not for the majestic ivy-covered uni- versity buildings towering above it. The buildings ramble over an extensive area of many green-turfed blocks and with their red brick and newer white granite walls: rule over the otherwise sleepy town. The guide arranged for us by Mr. Hill led us- over a seemingly immense expanse of territory, telling us little tidbits of history and tradition about this building and that. The campus, to our wonder, was divided into' two parts, a red one and a white one. The former is fashioned from old red brick structures with well-worn marble steps, surrounding the Quadrangle, and the famous six white pillars of the first administration building. The story goes that these are the six deans of Mizzou. But one column from all the rest is different, for here no ivy has ever grown. And truly, it is the old dean whose head is bald. The White Campus is in the new section, and consists of well-planned buildings laid out in the conventional university style, housing chiefly the sciences and the agricultural colleges. Another not-so-old tradition which we passed on our tour was Tripod, a well-groomed, three-legged mongrel, the university's mascot. Poor little puppy, hobbling about that great big place on his three legs and a stump. ln the afternoon, under a blazing sun, we watched the State Meet the reason for the entire trip. It was an impressive event, held on beautiful Rollins Field and displayed the best competition from all Missouri. Wherever one looked, boys in multi-colored silk shorts and brightly-dyed training suits were engaged in fervent activity. The high jump, being nearest to our seats. was the main focus of our attention between the relays and dashes. The results of the varied coaching were most interesting to perceive, for some boys approached the bar in a snake-like fashion, and then thrust themselves across. Others ran straight, stood a moment, and then, wonder of wonders. jumped feet first, while our own boys cleared the bar with a parallel thrust of their bodies, and fell heavily to the sand on the other side. And so the afternoon passed: under a blazing sun, our tired track men took only a poor little twenty-seventh place in the State Meet for Roosevelt. But even this rather bad defeat didn't daunt our spirits as we once again boarded the buses. lnstead of an exuberant flow, however, there now came One Hundred I-I-kg, TQNC1 was The an waS 0- Bwf 0+ W' The 9 Suh wa S ho?- 4166+ Sad Qga Y 59 0 W 2 K We're Buff' noT ouf 'I-h ere Go Piciure changed ?ood trac, in? 0-fdh 7 Q wonder We madeffew :rains S'fal'S O 0 oo oo ii 5.D W W B.:r. Mussel O H d IO spurts, for we were all very, very tired. A few were foolish enough to think they could now sleep, but not for long. We were too watchful and malicious, for whenever a peaceful look came over someone's face, he would be sud- denly and violently shaken and open his sleepy eyes to look into a teasing face which said, Nothing doing, there's too much going on now, for you to sleep. And, indeed, there was. So the trip ended. But still we had our memories of the fun. At last, a nice soft bed did feel rather good, and the excitement of the day was lost in the oblivion of sleep. TRAUTE FISCHL X X x x U 'Es WHY I LIKE TRACK l like track for a number of reasons. One of these is because track cer- tainly is a great competitive sport. Instead of merely facing one opponent, each time a Roosevelt runner goes to the starting block, he realizes that he has at least five men to beat. Usually this number is seven, and frequently it runs as high as twelve. ln the District Meet alone, 538 different boys were entered, with most of them running in more than just a single event. Then, too, track stresses individual performance. lt is all your job to beat the other runners after the gun goes off. There will be no help from anyone: and if, when the race is over, you find yourself at the tail-end of it, you can't shift the blame on anyone else. There is no one, as in baseball, to get that hit for you after striking out with the bases loaded and none out. ln qualifying to be a trackman, a person need not tower over six feet, nor tip the scales at two hundred pounds. Trackmen are made, not born. The only requirement necessary is the ability to run, and run fast. Everyone is always given a fair chance when coming out for track. lt matters little how well the coach may favor you, if you cannot produce points consistently, someone who can is given the opportunity when the important meets come. Enough time early in the season is given to show one's true worth. Track definitely has variety also. Putting the shot and pole-vaulting are as different as two things possibly could be. This variety gives every boy participating a chance to find some event at the track meet to suit his ability. One Hundred Two l enjoy track most of all for the way you, the students, here at Roosevelt support it. We are definitely at the top, second to none, when it comes to track school spirit. Every trackman will agree that it really gives us a thrill to look over and see those stands on the east side of the stadium packed with Roosevelt cheerers. Then all that wonderful noise and encouragement as we pass by in our respective races tops everything. This spirit is, no doubt, the main reason for our top rating in track. l shall always remember my two years on the track team as the happiest ones of my life. GEORGE ADOLF wiifhi 9 'Hum lllllllll 3 .. T gr famuligb ,, 1 Z, S., 'ttv Y , 'f , I 4 . L. f , la TRACK AUD Friday, june 9, we were scheduled for two aud. sessionsg two, mind you, and of the two one was the program during which letters and certificates were awarded to the members of the Track Team. The young men on this Roosevelt Track Team have come through this year very successfully, for they placed first in the District Meet and Relay Carnival. No wonder they did, for what else could result from the skillful instruction of our two track coaches, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Ault? The program was opened by lively music by Mr. Humfeld's band. Then the Track Team members, entering from the rear of the auditorium, marched down the center aisle and up to their seats on the stage. When the boys were seated, Coach Rogers gave a talk on how they won the championship and introduced many of the boys to us. Then Coach Ault added a short talk and awarded certificates and emblems. Now came the moment we were all awaitingl the presentation of the three Track Trophies. The co-captains of the Junior Squad, Richard Edwards and Edward Peak, unveiled the trophies. Then the Senior co-captains, Guy Kammien and Charlie Moore, presented the beautiful trophies to Mr. Hill. All in all, this aud. gave much encouragement to the boys who gave their best for the school and was a source of pride to the pupils of Roosevelt. l..et's give the Track Team and the coaches three big cheers. CONNlE ROGERS One Hundred Three QUEEN AND MAIDS FELDA TUPPER JUNE. HALEY PAT GROSS CENA LEA LARY DOROTHY SHAW PAT WINGIVIANN Ono Hundred I-'our FELDA TUPPER Track Queen Om' Hundred Fiv THE CROWNING OF THE TRACK QUEEN May 25, I950 Once a year six girls become the center of the thoughts, speculations, and attentions of the entire student body, for it is from these girls that queen is elected to reign over the major sporting event of the year, Field Night. Which of these girls would be the Track Queen, was the question the student body was asking as they assembled in the aud the fifth period today. Queries and guesses were passed from neighbor to neighbor, but not even the anxious six themselves knew the answer. With the end of the band music which had kindled the excitement of the st-udent body, the buzz of specu- lation was hushed. All was still as the trumpets announced the entrance of the first maid, charming june Haley. She was followed by Dot Shaw, whose smile sparkled like the crown that rested on her dark curls. Next came tall, striking Pat Gross, followed by sweet and dainty Gena Lea Lary. Tension mounted as the last of the track maids, honey-blonde Pat Wingman, entered. After a final flourish of trumpets the excitement reached its height as Roosevelt greeted its new Track Queen with warm applause. Roosevelt's choice for l950 is vivacious Felda rl-upper. Felda, known for her bubbling personality, beamed happily as she walked down the aisle. Escorted by Mayor Joe Chiecsek, she knelt in her regal crimson robe at the feet of the lovely retiring Queen, Pat Demick, who placed the crown on her head. Pat then descended from the throne and Felda assumed her place, accept- ing the applause of her subjects with a radiant smile. After taking her place, she received a gold cup from Joyce Kyle, who represented Pep R. Our new track coach, Dick Ault, gave an entertaining pep talk and intro- duced the boys of the track team who are to compete in the Field Night events Friday. The aud was closed with the singing of the Alma Mater. jOAN BAEPLER CHARLOTTE BUSSE Om' H undrud Six TRACK On February 7 our new track coach, Mr. Dick Ault, met with about one hundred boys in the first track meeting of the year. The coal strike delayed our indoor practice for about a week, but our distance men practiced outside and at Tower Grove Park. The twenty-five returning lettermen promised strength in all but the dashes. The Riders got off to a bad start when they were upset in the first meet on April l, both the Juniors and Seniors losing to a very well-balanced East St. Louis team. lt was the first time in four years that Roosevelt had lost a dual meet to any school other than University City High. There were a few bright spots, however, as Bob McCracken, Chester Probst, Jim lngalls, jim Fiala, and Bill Kleppinger won first places in their respective events. The meet with Beaumont was called off because of cold weather, but our trackmen took another beating in their next meet at the hands of Uni- versity City on April 9. Charlie Moore became the first Rough Rider of the year to take two firsts in one meet, winning both the half-mile and the senior mile. Roosevelt shone for the first time as we took second place in the track division at the Maplewood Relays on April I5. Our team would probably have placed in the relay division also if we had not had an unfortunate accident. Guy Kammien fell to the track after hitting the top of a high hurdle. He recovered quickly, however, and his team finished fifth in that relay. Roosevelt fell to sixth place. Om' Humlrvrl St'L't'l7 uv Heroes 1 Q33 ' N ...... I '3-1 Om' llundrud Eight 5.11 Simsszr llumlrml AN Roosevelt crushed the Clevelandites by a score of IZZM to 72M for their first league triumph of the year. The dual meet, the third in a row, took place on April 20 at the Stadium. Rich Edwards led the strong juniors with l6V2 points. Charlie Moore and Guy Kammien led the Seniors. On April 24 the Riders smashed McKinley by the satisfying score of I47 to 25. Rich Edwards was again outstanding, leading the juniors with I5 points: Charlie Fehr led the Seniors. The last three events were not run because of bad weather. The Relay Carnival, after being once postponed, was held on Thursday, May 4. The Roosevelt Senior Track Team successfully defended its title by winning for the third straight time, 5 l-46. The juniors fared worse, however, as the best they could do was to place second, losing to Beaumont, 47-43. The Senior 480-yard Shuttle Relay, consisting of Gene Florida, Guy Kammien, Carl Bossert, and Charles Fehr, shaved Z! l 0 of a second from the old record. ln the twenty-third annual District Track and Field Meet at the Public School Stadium on Saturday, May' 6, our Seniors took second place and our Juniors fifth. High-vaulting Larry Link took first in the senior pole vault, and Carl Bossert tied for first in the high jump. The meet with McKinley was called off. Coach Ault took eleven boys to Columbia, Missouri, to participate in the State Meet on May I3. He expected several of our boys to place, but only Chet Probst fulfilled his expectations, taking fourth in the 440-yard dash to gain our only points. The meets with Soldan-Blewett and Hadley were cancelled because of their nearness to Field Night. Roosevelt slipped in their fourth consecutive championship victory to win again the Public Track title on a split Field Night schedule. After nine events had been completed on Friday, at which time Beaumont was leading by a good margin, rain forced the postponement of the meet until the follow- ing Thursday, june l. There was no admission to the second part, which was held at four o'clock in the afternoon. The final score was ll6 IW6 points for Roosevelt, while Beaumont finished a close second with l l I 5 V6 points. The Seniors won their division by 7I IX3 to 50 5X6 for Beaumont. The juniors were second to Beaumont's 61 points with 44 5,f'6. Charlie Moore, again proving our most consistent individual runner, won the miie run and was second in the 880-yard run.

What's this? Something about track-men interviews? Now with both ears flapping and my eyes wide open, I listened intently as we discussed the possibility of write-ups of some of our track heroes. We voted for it. flnhere was a majority of girls at the meeting that morning., Naturally every girl wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity so we all had our hands waving frantically in the air. Having been chosen as one of the lucky interviewers, the next problem at hand was, with so many track men and so many very good track men, whom should I inter- view? Well, who would be better than Charlie Fehr, co-captain of our l95l track team? Charlie is seventeen years old, exactly six feet tall, has sandy-brown hair and hazel eyes. You have probably seen him as he sprints fone of my newly-acquired track expressionsl from class to class, or speaks with Coach Ault, or runs around the track like greased lightning the ran the 200-yard low hurdles in 23.7 secondsj, taking the hurdles as easily as they come. He is active in several track sports, but is best known by his ability in the l20-yard high hurdles, 880-yard relay and two years ago, the broad jump. Last term while a sixth termer he placed second in the 200-yard low hurdles Field Night. He first lettered in track when he was but a two and has kept up his good record ever since. Charlie's favorite subjects are math and chem. He has been a member of the I..ettermen's Club since it has been in existence and this term he is secretary. Good sport, fine athlete, friendly, andnnice-looking, it is easy to see why Charlie is well liked by his classmates and teachers both and we all wish him a successful year in track and as captain of our l95l team.

Selected by the various news- papers before the season to capture the Public League title. Roosevelt man- aged league victories over Central, Cleveland, McKinley, and Soldan-Blewett, being defeated only by Beaumont and Southwest. The non-league games included a win from C. B. C. and a loss to St. Louis U. high. The high- lights of the entire season came in the last game when Ray Maurer scored I9 points single-handed to capture the Public High League scoring race. PRE-LEAGUE GAMES St. Louis U. High Noses Out Roosevelt On September 22, the Rough Riders opened their l950 football season, being barely nosed out I3-6 by the Junior Bills, who already had one game under their belts. St. Louis U. High scored first in the first quarter on a pass play that covered 34 yards. The plunge for the extra point was good. Um' Hundrml I7m:r'I1'w1 The rest of the half was a stalemate, with neither side threatening to score. Early in the second half, Ray Maurer climaxed a long drive by scoring from the I5-yard line. However, the extra point was missed. The Junior Bills made their final touchdown on another pass play early in the fourth quarter. Final score, St. Louis U. High I3, Roosevelt 6. Roosevelt Defeats C. B. C. ln their second non-league game, Friday, September 29, Roosevelt downed C. B. C. I2-7. The improved Rough Rider team scored on the first play as Ray Maurer raced around right end 70 yards for the first touch- down. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful. Roosevelt again scored in the second quarter when Rich White scored from the l2-yard line. The kick for the extra point was not good. So ended the first half with Roosevelt ahead l2-0. The second half opened with a bang as C. B. C. received the kickoff and returned the ball 86 yards for a touchdown. The kick for the extra point was good, making the score Roosevelt IZ, C. B. C. 7. The rest of the second half was scoreless, but was high-lighted by good defensive play. LEAGUE GAMES Roosevelt Crushes Central On Saturday, October 7, the team looked very impressive in its first league encounter as Roosevelt soundly trounced Central, 38-I3. Maurer opened the scoring from I4 yards out. The extra point was good. Sucessive touchdowns by Kammien, Chiecsek, and White made the score 25-0 before Central scored shortly near the half. The scoring tamed down in the second half as the team substituted freelyi but during the fourth quarter, with the regulars back in, two more touchdowns were made, one by Chiecsek and the other by Maurer. Both were from a little over 20 yards out. Central managed to score once in the last quarter. Rough Riders Smash Dutchmen Roosevelt defeated its south side rival Cleveland, Saturday night, October I4, to the tune of I9-7. lt was a hard-fought game by both teams. For almost the whole first half the game remained a deadlock. However, in the last play of the half, Rich White unraveled a 40-yard pass. to joe Chiecsek who ran the last I0 yards for the touchdown. Ray Maurer's kick was good. At the half the Riders were ahead 7-0. ln the third quarter, due to penalties. many long Roosevelt runs were nullified. The quarter was scoreless as Cleveland's offensive was stopped cold. With eight minutes to play, Roosevelt scored on a series of running plays, the final one being a I0-yard drive by Maurer. After this the Cleve- land team scored their one touchdown and made their extra point. Returning the kickoff, Ray Maurer high-lighted the game with his 80-yard run as the Riders again scored. The game ended Roosevelt I9, Cleveland 7. One Hundred Fiftcvn Southwest Upsets Roosevelt Roosevelt suffered its first league defeat, fighting the Southwest squad Monday night, October 30, by the score of 20-0. The Longhorns started their success early, as they recovered a fumble on the Rough Riders' l5-yard line the second play of the game and took the ball over from there. The kick for the extra point split the uprights. After that, Roosevelt settled down to play fine defensive ball till the half. Toward the beginning of the third quarter, Southwest again crossed our goal line, capitalizing on another Roose- velt fumble. The kick for the extra point again was good as the Longhorns led I4-0 after three quarters. The final touchdown was made as the result of a blocked kick recovered by a Southwest player, who then carried the ball over to make the score read Southwest 20, Roosevelt 0, as the game ended. Beaumont Defeats Roosevelt On Saturday, November 4, the Riders were downed by a powerful Beaumont eleven 2 l -7. ln the first quarter Beaumont scored a touchdown on a pass play. The extra point was good. ln the second quarter, the Riders were scored upon again, by a pass play: the kick for the extra point was good. After this. Roosevelt marched to their one touchdown first on a series of running plays to the 47, and then Rich White unfurled a pass to Ray Maurer for the scoring. The extra point was good. ln the third quarter the Blue jackets scored their last touchdown and made the extra point. L55 AND 'TOE IAQ: f V , -X u B A' f 5'-as QW E f Q Z' if ff!!

This decisively snapped the Goldbugs' reign over the Riders in football, a superiority which stretched from I936 to I949. All of the scoring took place in the second quarter with the first touchdown climaxing a 60-yard march. Maurer set it up with several long gains with Kammien finally going over from the 2-yard line. The extra point was good. A few plays later the crowd received its biggest thrill of the cold night as Richard White took a hand-off, cracked over left tackle, and then cut to the right side of the field to scamper 87 yards behind some fine blocking for a touch- down. The extra point this time was missed. Throughout the rest of the game Roosevelt was content to play defensive ball, as the team thoroughly enjoyed this victory over its bitterest rival. The following boys received football letter awards: Bob Acherman, Robert Bledsoe, Don Boehle, joe Chiecsek, Vince De Blaze, Bill Dunavan, Jim Fiala, Frank Fuca, Jim lngalls, Bob Kammien, Tony Leara, Ray Maurer, Milton McBride, Jim' McLane, Les Medley, Tom O'Driscoll, Ed Peek, Wayne Plumlee, Charles Raich, Don Rakey, Art Rebe, Richard Street, Ken Tretter, Rich White, Rich Zoellner.

Coach Ault took over the sport for the first time this year. After suffering a defeat by Hadley, the team raced back to finish second to Beaumont in a meet that also included University City, C. B. C., Central, and St. Louis University High. On October 27, the two-milers bested Central and continued their victory string the following week by crushing University City 23-33 flow score winsl. The climax to the season came November IO, as the State Cross-Country run was held in Forest Park while very cold weather prevailed. Sixteen schools entered: Roosevelt finished sixth. Tom Lloyd was the first Roosevelt man to finish, taking seventeenth place. He was followed by Charles Moore, jim Hindle, Niles Woodney, and jim Martin in that order. The following boys earned letters: Captain Charles Moore, Tom Lloyd, jim Hindle, Niles Woodney, jim Martin. GEORGE ADOLF -fzff One Hundred Twenty CI-IEER LEADERS Captain: Georgia Lazanas What individuals do most to enliven school spirit? What individuals are an indispensable part of all the athletic meets? The team, of course, but who else is there to spur the team on and get the fans really stirred up? Why, the cheer leaders, naturally! A cheer leader is the side-show at a game, and her duties are very numerous. Besides acting as a primer to set off the cheers of the crowd and boost the morale of the team, the cheer leader is the ever-present epitome of school spirit. She takes part in selling tickets and publicizing other school activities. She must be present at all football and basketball games and at all track meets. 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 l..eader's R, which is a rightfully earned symbol of school spirit! 4 JANET HARGROVE I LJ J 6. ry? Mir 1' X A One Hundred Twenty-one 6 -:IN I .

THING'-S 74' llumlrni TLL'vr1lL1-lLL'o OR SITTING PRET SIDE GLANCES Today is the day you have all been waiting forl At last, your Bwana. Now the fun begins-rushing around-signing everyone's Bwana-everyone else signing yours-yes, you're signing even your ownl But it's all loads of fun and part of the memories you'll carry away with you from Roosevelt. Perhaps some day in about twenty years or so you'll be cleaning the attic, or the basement, or the closet, and you'll come across a battered-up old box, and you'll say to yourself, Now what in the world is in this old box? W'hy, can you imagine all the stuff you saved from your high school days. And you'll find a dance program and a class schedule, your first corsage, a shaker from Field Night, and, of all things, a detained slip. And then maybe you'll run across a football pass or a Hello Day tag fthe one that johnny K. signed-My goodness, he was cutelj, a napkin from Steak and Shake and countless Rough Riders-and you'll recall the puzzle- ment on your friends' faces when they saw their souls' secrets bared in The Vacuum Cleaner -they clidn't know that you and Babs were on the staff. And way down deep among all of these will be your Bwanas. You will laugh as you look through them. Did l ever look like that? Hmmm. l seem to have added a few pounds here and there-and just look at Eddie W. l'll never in all my days forget the time I walked down the steps with-l mean he walked clown with me. And l fell. Oh, clear, that was so embar- rassinglu And then you'll turn the page and chuckle as you see all your old friends as they looked in the good old days . But if you have fun when you do that, just wait until there are about six or eight of you together. Someone is just bound to say, Guess whom l saw the other day-Harry L.-and you should see how fat he is, and nearly bald, too. What, you don't remember him? Well, get out your old Bwanas, I'll show him to you. Then all of you will start reminiscing again. Look at Susie She used to be quite attractive. l never thought she would be an old maid . And there's Elmer Fudclywinkle, he's married now and has ten children, they say his wife rules their little roost. Oh, of course, you remember him, he was captain of the football team. And so it goes-on and on. You're reminded again and again of your years at Roosevelt, the fun you had, the classes you struggled through with countless other fellows. and girls, those teachers that weren't as bad as you thought they were, and everything else that came with those four wonderful years at Roosevelt High School.

The National Anthem, the reading of The Blue and the Gray by Ethel johnson, the singing of the l..ord's Prayer , and an address by Alfred Gonzalez on the meaning of Memorial Day and how it is observed, form the program. A prayer by Mr. Hill and a moment of meditation follow. Then through the stillness, the slow sad tones of a distant bugle re-echo through the building. What! Comprehensives here again? The few beaming faces belong to those who have averages of at least 85 per cent. june 7-Candidates for the school offices are presented today.

X june !6-Last day of school-'nuf said! i One Hundred Thirty-two SENIOR AUD june 9, I950 All graduation gifts are nice, but the nicest of graduation gifts is some- thing given not to the seniors, but by the seniors-the Senior Aud. This semester the seniors gave us the perfect gift, a program that said good-bye in an entertaining yet touching manner. The setting of the aud was a night spot where the seniors, represented by Phil Sortir, Carole Ulrich, George W'ilson, Arden Rischbieter, Harry Brown, Marlene Brehme, Francis Nickodem, Peggy Chochol, Daniel Maret, Mary Vannatta, Lloyd Chapman, Phyllis Riechers, John Morris, Charlene Dennis, Bob Malke, Joan Black, Ted Buss, joan Dietl, Edward McKeon. and Grace Baer, were dancing. This place, bearing a well-transformed resemblance to the stage of Roosevelt High School, boasted a precariously balanced skating waiter in addition to the Music Masters, led by Dave Heartinger, and Master of Ceremonies Bob Parks. When the celebrating seniors took their places, the fun began as Marlene Bastian, Charles Mueller, Marilyn Massot, Nadine Mueller, Helen Curran, Pat Pickett, Yvonne Justus, and Marlene Banker recalled their four years at Roosevelt with a clever parody, Senior, Do You Remember? No less than the Red Hot Mama , Bill Stevenson, came next with his accompanists, Lester Maze, George Wilson, and Bob Maurer. Then Mitzi Moreland and Russell Hands showed us how to Bake a Cake in a song and dance number. Prancing on next to entertain us was a chorus line. The girls who provided the high kicks were Ethel Johnson, Mary Cross, ,Ioan McSalley, Arlayne Ziegler, joan Thompson, Edna Petrikovitsch, Betsy Edwards, and Rosemarie Leicht. ls there a doctor in the house? was the frantic cry of Earl Leadlove. Up scrambled Ray Collins to complete a comedy team that kept us all laughing with their fast-paced routine. Promenade was the next order of business as Janice Reilly, Yvonne Justus, jerry Utnage, Vera Lewedag, june Ruth, Shirley Thorpe, Charles Mueller, Francis Nickodem, John Morris, Armand Herbert, Richard Sandefur, and Bill Davidson impersonated hill-billies to execute the calls of Lester Maze. Marilyn Van Nest followed with a different kind of dance. The last number had a real Congo flavor. it took a second look at the program to realize that the leaping black savages were really none other than Arlayne Ziegler, Jean Reardon, Ethel johnson, and Eileen Sullivan. So the Seniors completed their gift to us., an aud that we'll long remember. CHARLOTTE BUSSE. l One Hundred Thirty-three CLEAN -UP AUD April 25 Student Council had promised us a bang-up program for Clean-Up Week, and on Tuesday the fifth period they showed us what they could do in an aud. which was written by Marlene Bastian and Charlotte Busse, with the help of Nadine Mueller and Pat Muth. We were shown the home of an untidy housewife, Mrs. Sloppup, who was ably played by Hanneliese Luettecke. When Tilly Tidyup fNadine Muellerj arrived, Mrs. Sloppup greeted her with, lf I Knew You Were Coming l'd Cleaned the House . After Mrs. Sloppup finished her apologies, Tilly recalled a television show about Clean-Up Week that she had seen. Then, with the parting of the curtains, the stage became a giant television screen, and Roosevelt High was introduced to Baker's Backoutsn. Don Mueller, the energetic announcer, presented the sponsor's product, Ebb, and the master of ceremonies, joe Chiecsek. Miss Fager's dancing class continued the laughter with a Charleston version of Rag Mop . People are still singing Now ls the Hour to Take a Shower , the trade- mark of Jim Hindle, the nuisance with the broom. A more musical treat followed with Dick Eggerding, complete with swooners, singing Clean-Up Time . After hearing the praises of Ebb extolled, Dave Heartinger and the Music Masters demonstrated why Roosevelt can be proud of its swing band. Next we saw a contest between the glamour girls and the clean-up girls. When the clean-up girls got their men, the logical question of How'd they do it? was answered by Marlene Bastian with Soapsuds are a Girl's Best Friend . All too soon we heard the tones of Station KLEN signing off. Although we laughed over Bakers Backoutsn, the program impressed upon us the importance of Clean-Up Week to the community. MARILYN HODGE.

Colorful posters made by the art classes reminded us of the two performances: the student matinee and the Friday evening perform- ance. lt may have been partly due to the fact that there were no sixth and seventh period classes that almost all the students came and enjoyed the matinee. Our thanks to those teachers who made possible the success of this operetta and the teachers and the students who worked untiringly behind the scene. PHYLISS SHERMER One Hundred Thirty-six CHARLOTTE BUSSE WILLPOWER-A MOST ELUDING ATTRIBUTE ls it possible for me to develop some strong willpower? That is some- thing that has puzzled me for a long, long time. The solution, however, certainly has eluded me. I have ever so many good intentions, but they never seem to result in action. It seems l can do nothing until l know l have to do it immediately to get it done. Necessity is certainly the mother of invention with me. lt is practically impossible for me to write a theme until it is time to hand it in, or to read a book for a report until the day before it is due. As for studying for' an exam a week or so ahead of time. that is something of which l am utterly incapable. Right now l have ironing to do, and my room looks positively frightful, but l just don't have the stamina or desire to do anything except sit here and doodle. How can l overcome this fault? l think I have tried everything. l have made innumerable New Year's resolutions only to break them on or about january 3: l read books on how to form desirable habitsg l have made time schedules charting every minute of the day for some particular thing: and l have even gone so far as to have Mother take away my allowance when l didn't do my various jobs on time. However, none of the schemes worked. No one has prevented me from discarding my own plans for self-improve- ment, and Mother has come to regard me as a hopeless case. She says only a miracle can instil any will power into me. Really, it is positively imperative that l do something about this, but what will it be? l'm at my wit's end. Let me see--well, maybe this will work. Oh, where is a clean sheet of paper? Ah, now: l, Marilyn Hodge, clo hereby resolve that my procrastination shall cease without further delay, and that l shall make a supreme effort to develop my will power. Gracious, that sounds formal enough to scare me into doing things when they should be done. l'll paste one copy here on my mirror and tack another one over my desk. Now that that problem is solved, what do l need to do now? Oh, l have to iron a blouse for school tomorrow. But what's that lying on the radio? Why, it's a new magazine l haven't seen yet. H'm'm'm-it certainly looks interesting, too. l think l'll look at it before l iron my blouse. Oh, but what about my formal resolution? Well, l won't put it into effect until next Monday. By the way, what was it that l said at the beginning? Ah, yes, will power is certainly a most elusive attribute. MARILYN HODGE WF ...A T Ill! One Hundred Thirty-seven LIFE'S EMBARRASSING MOMENTS All of us have, no doubt, at one time or another, experienced one of life's embarrassing moments. I will te!! you about one of these dreadful moments that happened to me not so very long ago. lt happened one Friday night when I was with a group of my friends. We had been to the basketball game, and because we had won the game, everyone was gay and wanted to celebrate. We went to a neighborhood ice cream shop, which was unusually crowded that night, but we managed to squeeze into a corner. Everything had gone fine all evening-at least up to now. We were getting ready to leave, and I was saying good-bye to one of my girl friends whom I hadn't seen in a long time. Now, this is where my troubles began. I got up from the table and stepped back. As I did so, I tried to push the chair aside. But I lost my balance, and fell backwards over the chair, and the next thing I knew I found myself ungracefully sprawled on the floor. How embarrassed I was! I could feel my face turning ten different shades of red. but I know the last shade must have been the brightest of all, a very brilliant, crimson hue. To make matters worse, the always-noisy ice cream shop had suddenly become very silent. A great hush had settled over the entire room. The record that was playing at the time had stopped. making the place so quiet one could hear a pin drop. And there I sat in the middle of the floor, looking silly and very undignified. Anyway, I had the chair beside me for company. As I sat on the floor with my head bowed in shame and embarrassment, thoughts raced through my mind. I wondered what kind of a girl the people in the shop thought I was-probably the type that liked to be the center of attraction. Well, I certainly did attract attention, but I have an idea it wasn't a very desirable kind. Then I thought what the proprietor must have been thinking-that I was some rowdy girl who had come in just to ruin her business and break her chairs. I thought surely she would come over to me and, not so politely, show me the door. That would have been too much! Oh, if only I had been small enough to crawl into a little hole somewhere! I knew the time had come to pick myself up and try to act poised and pass the matter off lightly. But I knew every eye was focused on me, and I dreaded to look up and face them. I gathered together the pieces of what had been my courage and dignity. Every eye was turned in my direction. What a lot of eyeballs! I saw my friends staring at me with their mouths hanging open a foot. I suppose they were so astonished to think that I could have done such a stupid, clumsy thing. I think every one of them was wishing that he could have left then, so no one would know he was even associated with me. I was wondering how to go about getting myself on my feet once again, when one of the bravest of my friends helped me up. I am sure he did it only out of pity and a sense of duty. You see, he had been a loyal Boy Scout for a number of years, and he remembered that he must do a good One Hundred Thirty-eight deed every day. So here was his chance-to pick a very red, bewildered, and very embarrassed girl off the floor. When I was finally on my feet, I made a bee-line for the door, and my friends reluctantly followed. All the way home everyone laughed over the episode except me--I laughed and cried, but I think I cried more. I vowed that I would never go in there again, and so far I have kept my promise. I cannot tell you how I really felt, because it is impossible to put into words my feelings at such a time. Oh, welll Mistakes do happen to the best of us. But I hope you will not have to live through such an experience as this in order to understand what I mean when I speak of Iife's embarrass- ing moments. DOROTHY SHAW Bum ONLY ON THE SURFACE I like to tell you what it means to be a senior. Most of you have the idea that being a senior' is all fun. It's the time when you have no homework, and the only work you do is to sell elevator passes to new jays. Some of you envy a senior because he can count the days when he turns his books in for the last time. On Class Day, the girls envy the graduates all dressed up in their best bib and tuckeru and eating at the Chase. Yes, being a senior is a lot of fun with its parties and good times. But there is a sad side to this. You always see a senior's smiles, but behind these smiles, deep inside of him is an empty feeling, something that is very hard to explain. In a few weeks these boys and girls, who have been in your classes for four years will seem to disappear after graduation night. They'll either go to a far-off college or go to work with strangers-not with old friends. Here they will make friends and have fun, but these friends and the fun will never compare with dear old Roosevelt High. PATRICIA PICKETT One Hundred Thiriy-nine NORTH CAROLINA ALL-STATE CONCERT On Wednesday, March 22, the North Carolina All-State High School Orchestra, composed of about l00 highly-talented high school musicians. played in our auditorium for us. They had practiced here on Tuesday as they had come to St. Louis to play on Friday at Kiel Auditorium for the National Music Educators' Convention.

GARDENING The early spring sun was streaming in my window and beckoned me to come outside. l felt a wonderful urge to plant a garden, and l quickly put on jeans and Dad's shirt-l was full of ambition. l had to tell my plans to someone and l confided in Mother, expecting praise. She gave me a funny look and said, Yes, dear. l found spade, rake, seeds, and so forth in the basement-where Dad had left them when he abandoned his garden project last spring-and hurried out and started to dig. Before l really had a start, the girl next door called and I told her of my plans as l leaned against the fence in the warm sunshine. It was such a warm day, l invited her into the kitchen for a glass of lemonade. l knew that would pep me up' and renew the urge to make a garden. An hour later the sun had moved to another spot in the yard, leaving my freshly dug garden in shade. l decided to take a sun-bath first before the sun went down. Time just flew and mother called, Lunch is ready. After lunch the only urge I felt was an overpowering urge to take a nap. l told Mother l would wait until next Saturday and really put in a full Saturday's work. Mother said, Yes, dear, but put the tools where Dad can find them. l'm sure he'll start a garden, too. PHYLLIS SHERMER One Hundred Forty D offer w lflH7LfI'L'tl' 1-urlu EVOLUTION In biology I learned that evolution means changes occurring over a long period of time. Well, if you can call three years a long period of time, I suppose I have gone through an evolution. When I first entered our hallowed halls I fairly raced from class to class because I feared that I would be late. I saw the upper termersn stroll- ing along, talking to one another. All seemed to be carrying little slips of paper, which I found were called detained slips. I wondered about them. but didn't dare ask for fear of being laughed at. So ended the first era. In my second term I walked a little more slowly, talked to more people and began to notice the dreamy track stars. One day I stopped to talk to an upper termer whom I knew, and lingered a bit too long. Don't worry , he said, here's a detained slip. I took it, but still ran to my class because I didn't know what to do with it. CI was especially dense.l Now I began a careful study of the thing. A piece of paper measuring three inches by five inches, initialed by someone and stamped with Detained on one line, and Date , Time on the next. The initials probably belonged to some teacher who filled out a slip like this when she kept you after class. In the next study-hall I watched. Sure enough, in came an upper termern five minutes late, handed'the slip to the teacher, and took a seat. This was the period of enlightenment. The age of progress now began. If one class-room was close enough to the next, so that it would take but a few seconds to run the distance, I would sit in the first class and stare at the ceiling. This must have made the teachers angry because they would always keep me after class. I would promise to pay more attention, and ask for a detained slip, hoping it would be filled out in pencil. If it was, I would walk repentantly from the room, out of the sight of the teacher and then make a mad dash for class. By doing this I was able to build up quite a reserve of detained slips to be used in times of urgent need. All this seems so long ago, because now I am an upper termer and childish things are put away. No longer do I dash from class to class, or worry as to where my next detained slip is coming from, I use my own. Now I can stroll along and talk to my friends as I so longed to do when I was but a foolish First-termer. BARBARA JANE STRASSER P. S. to teachers: The above facts are ficticious, and any resemblance to any real student, past, present or future is purely coincidental.-B. S. T' .si may iii lf: One Hundred Forty-Iwo Om' ll umlrwi lfnrl ll - 1,7111 DOODLEBUG People may be fundamentally lazy, but somehow they are never quite content to sit still and do nothing. There must alwaysa be some pastime to Fill the crevice of passive existence, time spent waiting or listening. Among the people busy at nothing, you will find thumpers and tappers, drummers and paper-twisters, knuckle-crackers and hair-twirlers, but the universal pas- time is doodling. Take a person listening to a speaker: add a pencil and a scrap of paper, and the result is doodling. Give the listener a definite job to accomplish with the paper and pencilg the outcome is the same--doodles. Doodles can be divided into three general classifications, the first of which is lettering. Doodlers whose specialty is lettering can, in turn, be divided into three sub-classes, the Artist, the Egotist, and the Romantic. The Artist's interest is in the letter itself, its shading and curliques. He usually prides himself on the development of one type, such as the Gothic or the block letter. The Egotist specializes in signatures adorned by flourishes and elaborate monograms, his own, of course. The Romantic, too, is fond of initials, but if they are his own, they are always linked with those of another, and are often enclosed in a heart. Next we have the doodle in the geometric form, including cubes and curls, spheres and spirals, and stars and pyramids. The Nlodern's non- objective doodles fit best in this classification, too, for unless they are to be taken literally as potato-mashers and amoebas, they do not belong in the third class, the picture doodles. Picture doodles represent, in my opinion, the highest form of the doodles. fOf course, l could be biased, since l place my doodles in this class., Picture doodles are drawings of what the originator will inform you are people, animals, or objects. Faces rank first among this class, with faces of the creator's ideal, or that perennial favorite, the moustached woman. Now that we are acquainted with all the forms of the doodle, we may well inquire why people doodle, why they fill page after page of what should be history notes with silly doodles, but please inquire of someone else. l only know that when the doodle bug bites you, you can't be cured. Now go away and let me finish my moustached woman.

My classmates and teacher would be amazed at the dexterity with which I handled the equipment falthough at the time I couldn't tell a test tube from a cruciblej and the facility with which I could dash off the most difficult experiments. Naturally I would discover a new element. Oh, naturally! I was sadly disillusioned. The smell of ancient eggs permeated the atmosphere of the lab room. The bench to which ! was assigned was covered with a ghastly black substance and there were some wet spots on it. just plain I-LO, I thought mentally, patting myself on the back for having mas- tered this difficult and little known formula. I was set back only a trifle by the mess on the table. Mere externaIs, I cheerfully thought. Now for the equipment! Breathlessly I unlocked and opened the locker. What was that mess in there? A heap of old black material, a few glass things with some little porcelain dishes. I guess somebody brought his little sister's do!! dishes, I murmured to my lab partner. Then, hesitatingly I touched the rather dirty-looking black mess. This was the apron? I won't wear that thing. The hem hits me at the ankles and it wraps around me twice. I'll just do without it. l'll be careful, I said. What's that over there? I'!I just lean over and look. Oops! got some of the water from the desk on my skirt! What, janet? No, it's just water, l'll brush it right off. Ouch! lt burns! And just look at my' skirt! Oh, well, I wanted a new one anyway. Hmm, I guess maybe I had better put on the apron. After donning the apron and tying it securely behind me, I began, with my partner, to work on the experiment. In our drooping black aprons, muttering formulas as we watched the contents of a beaker bubble over the burner, I imagine that we looked like two witches from Macbeth. ? Q f I A , Q 9 'Nd .E jf One Hundred Forty-five Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of fenny snake in the cauldron boil and-Oppsl There's the bell and we're not half done, l shrieked. Pour the mess down the sink, cried my partner suiting the action to the words. While hoping that the contents wouldn't burn out the sink, l fumbled hurriedly for the knot in my apron. How would l ever get it untied? This string was too strong for me to break. l was beginning desperately to con- template sawing myself out of it with a piece of broken glass, when l was rescued by a strong masculine arm. Breathlessly, locking my drawer, l rushed out into the clean healthy-smelling hall. Doesn't that fish just smell wonderful, l gushed to my companion, and sailed off to my next class, stenography, bearing visions of myself as a clean efficient secretary, who needed to concern herself only with the chemistry of the water-cooler. JOAN BAEPLER THE SHOESTRIN G There's an old saying about starting out in the business world on a shoestring. Now, as for me, l would want something a wee bit more sub- stantial to start with. For l have little or no faith in that lowly mass of weak fibers known as a shoestring. lt's never been a friend of mine. It can cause more red-faced moments than any other instrument ever devised by man. lt is, in fact, a modern Achilles' heel. Did you ever see one break when you're in your everyday clothes lying around the house? No, instead it breaks just as you're leaving the house. It takes no notice of the fact that you simply can't be late where you're going. Unfeelingly, it breaks. Then comes the trying decision. Are you going to tie an emergency knot or hunt up another shoe lace? For all you know, there may not be a single shoe lace in the house. Oh, but a quickly-tied knot would look so unsightlyl So, a-hunting you go, through drawers, drawers, and more drawers, until finally-Eureka!-you find one little shoestring. But, alas, when you put it on, its too large! Look at the size of that bowl Oh, well this is no time to quibble-don't look a gift horse in the mouth, you know. So, finally, you leave. Hey, there's your bus! You break every Olympic record sprinting for that vehicle. But that heartless, soulless shoestring can't let you go that easily. lt gets between your shoe and 'th sidewalk and--boom! You find yourself flat on your stomadh as the b s driver passes you, leaving you with a face full of carbon monoxidel Looking like the original prototype of the Sad Sack, you pick up your aching bones, and retreat within the safety of your home, and telephone to say you're sorry but you can't come. What caused all this trouble? Why, one little shoestring. Why, you ask yourself, didn't it break in a dime store where a pair of any size and color is easily obtainable for just a nickel? Why didn't it break the day before when you were just loafing around the house? Why? Why? Why? ALFRED GONZALEZ One Hundred Forty-six X i ' fl' Th 54. wx ff rch 1 nv llumirml I-fum Mu-rv MUSICAL MEMOIRS Kiel Auditorium! I-low many times I have been therel These times have been usually accompanied by a violent struggle to fit both myself and my coat in one of those red velvet seats in the balcony. But after this, I have listened with rapture and fascination to the beautiful concerts presented there. A few times, however, I have been guilty of a grave sin. You see, I was once given a rather sharp order on the proper appreciation of music. Don'ti you dare think of anything else when you listen to the work of the masters, even if you think you don't like it. After all, you poor, ignorant thing, what do you know? Well, this poor, ignorant thing has tried faithfully to follow the expert's advice, but it is so hard to concentrate on modern umasterpiecesul At such times, I am frequently annoyed by things which are very bothersome. For instance, can the tip of my nose itch when I am supposed to be a very quiet and refined young woman? And can this be further accompanied by tor- menting thoughts which rush through my mind? Should I scratch? NO! Now I won't let myself be diverted from that-uh-music. I will sit still and listen. But soon I weakly am conquered by mere physical discomfort as I leisurely scratch the offending protuberance amid various stares from the sidelines. After this, I guiltily attempt another deviation from the line of thought I know I should follow. And so I try to discover a link between the hideously wailing tones and a thing which I can imagine to speed along the snail-like progress of the time. Deeply bored, I glance up to the blank wall space by the terra-cotta figure of mighty St. Louis seated upon his great war horse. There, on the wall above the stage, my now desperate mind starts on a singular adventure. In my imagination, I have painted a small, brown bumble bee, with light and gauzy yellow wings which the droning music has sug- gested. But look, it moves! It spins wildly, and now comes careening down upon a flower. And then, suddenly, from space there appears a second brighter even than the first. And so the two pursue each other, fluttering and zooming merrily up and down, back and forth among the legs of St. Louis' mighty war charger. As the tempo and theme of the music changes, I vainly search for another friendly bumble bee, but alas, it has died its death with the ending of the first theme. Poor bumble bee, may you rest peacefully under your little white flower. Guiltily again, I begin to search for another diversion, for I grudgingly remember theiexpert's somber advice, Don't think of anything when listen- ing to music. But then, how can I help- it? So I might as well watch the drummer. He is a little grayish man whose shiny pate peeks forth between a few wispy hairs. But he possesses boundless energy. Gently, he strikes the kettle drums and then rolls into a roaring crescendo, stopping with the suddenness of a well-trained polo pony. A speculation of the times he might not stop at the right moment consumes considerable time, but woe is me, I must still be sinful, for the dreadful music has not yet stopped. Therefore, next my glance wanders back and forth among the various One Hundred Forty-eight other members of the orchestra. In the center back, I notice a handsome blond flute player, but alas, great disappointment, he is doing nothing, so I look elsewhere. My attention is soon captured by a fat little double-chinned violinist who has his instrument comfortably tucked under his copious rolls. Again I speculate, Does his instrument never slip? With what can he hold it, when his neck is all chin? But now, great happiness! With a last crashing and discordant chord. the music wails to a pitiful end. I heave a very much relieved sigh and, not to make my sin too obvious, join the others in applause. My companion turns to me and remarks pointedly, That modern ear-drum hammer was awful, wasn't it? Did you think so? I replied innocently, and chuckled to myself. I wondered if he would understand if I confessed my guilt to him. Would you? TRAUTE FISCHL 4131, Vg fit THE MOST DIFFICULT COURSE I HAVE TAKEN There is no doubt in my mind at all that trigonometry is the most difficult course I have taken in all my school years. I made it more difficult by not studying it enough. What dismay l felt when, at the end of the day, I found that I had homework in trig.! More of those long complicated prob- lems to work! My heart sank in view of such a burden. I usually brushed over it in order to finish as quickly as possible so I could go out that evening. There was always something to do that was more enjoyable and less tedious than trig. and soon I developed a knack for Finding excuses for evading' my homework. Then came the next day-the sixth period-and trig. classh With faint recollections of sines and tangents whirling through my mind and refusing to be organized, I sank into my seat. Things were going fine when for no justifiable reason, except that she may have wished to know if I had studied, the teacher called on me. My eyes shifted uneasily from corner to corner as I tried to unravel that mass of confusion inside me. Everyone was looking at me and waiting. A heavy silence fell upon the room. I squirmed and stared blankly at the teacher as I searched my muddled mind for the answer which was very plainly not there. My embarrassment finally forced me to reply that it seemed to have slipped my mind. And how long did you study? she inquired. I replied that I hadn't put much time on it. Then, seeing her record my zero, a feeling of utter disgust surged through me and I resolved earnestly that no matter how difficult or confusing the next lesson was, I would study it until I knew it all. I'll show her how smart I am! And I did. But even so, I barely passed trig., the most difficult course I have ever taken.

N r 3 W 'X 'kr LECTURES ON FREEDOM AND COURTS This term the upper classmen have been fortunate to hear a series of lectures given by members of the St. Louis Bar Association. The subject of the series was The Function of the Courts in the Protection of Individual Freedom . April 24- The Historical Origins of individual Freedom. Mr. For- rest M. Hemker told us that the matter of individual freedom was something that had not been thought of just in the past two hundred years since the founding of this country, but it has been a burning desire in the hearts of men since the days of the Bible and that our form of government was an outgrowth of this movement. He told us of one of the steps which led to our present government--the Magna Charta which insures man of a trial by juryg finally the molding of our government by the Constitution. May l- Freedom Under Law. The speaker on this subject was Mr. Albert Schoenbeck, a former Mayor of Roosevelt. Mr. Schoenbeck said that many people interpret the word freedom too freely: that is, they believe they can do anything they want without accounting for it. This is true in a small community where everyone is known, but when a society becomes more complex, the freedom must be limited: that is, one can do what he wants to do so long as his act does not endanger the freedom of other individuals. To preserve the rights of others it is necessary to estab- lish laws. May 8- The Courts--Protectors of Freedom. Mr. Lon Hacker pointed out that the duty of the courts was not only to try those who commit an offense against society, but also to prove the innocence of those accused of crimes they did not commit. Those accused of a crime are brought before a grand jury fconsisting of men and women not connected with the govern- ment or the case under consideration, who decide if the evidence is enough to warrant a jury trial. If so, a trial is scheduled and a jury of non-partisan citizens is chosen. The duty of the jury is to decide from the facts given them, the fate of the defendant. The case may be appealed only if the true evidence has not been given. Then the defendant may ask for a new trial or appeal to a higher court, to protect his individual freedom. May I 5- Freedom of Speech, Press, and Religion. Mr. Harry Gershon- son said that these three freedoms are guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. But these freedoms have limitations. Freedom of speech and press is limited when what is said becomes slander or treason. Freedom of religion means not only the freedom to worship in our own way, but also to have no religion if we desire and not to force those without a religious belief to adopt ours by force. Each lecture was followed by a discussion period. PATRICIA PICKETI One Hundred Fifty-four SILVER JUBILEE BAND AND ORCHESTRA CONCERT At eight o'clock on the evening of March 24, l950, after a month's delay because of the coal strike, the Silver Jubilee Band and Orchestra Concert was held under the able direction of Mr. Charles A. Humfeld. The combination of band and orchestra was never before tried by any high school in St. Louis. The stage was beautifully arranged under the direction of Mr. Lorenzen. A special booth was set up for Dorothy Penn, who was the narrator at the combined concert and show. THE PROGRAM O Morning Star -Brass Choir ...............4...,.. ,. ,. . ..,... .

The motion picture, Nickelodeon , a combination of films featuring those unforgettable stars: Al jolson, Douglas Fairbanks, Lon Chaney, Eddie Cantor, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Rudolf Valentino, and Shirley Tem- ple, brought forth many laughs from the audience. A safety picture followed Nickelodeon and showed incidents which lead to accidents. This very instructive picture had many amusing bits. The band and orchestra, with a strong backbone of two cellos, three tubas, three baritones, one bass viol, and five slide trombones received much applause for their work in the show. The climax of the program was the presentation of an honorary award to the most valuable player of the year, Bill Stevenson, bass drummer. FRED CORDlA . fl X tigh ts , ig 1950-s'fQl P ' .

Now l have a few tiny, unimportant talents with which l can work, but I am either commended or blamed for what I do, or do not do, with these. Still, I cannot convince anyone that l have a great natural ability in a certain field, and it is even harder to convince them that this field is worth-while. My great talent is loafingl I am a born loafer, and, with practice, I dare say I could perfect the skill to unheard of heights. But no one will even let me tryl Others, before me, have possessed this peculiar talent. Socrates, for instance, did nothing but sit on a curbstone and chat with his friends. People in his own day, and down through the ages, have respected him as a great thinker. Whenever I settle down comfortably to think I am disturbed with: The dishes are waiting! or ls your home-work finished? or What, day-dreaming again? Can't you do something more constructive? Yes, my doom is apparent. I shall never be able to see just how well I can loaf. My one great talent will never be developed to its fullest extent. l must content myself to struggle along with my mediocre talents, trying to do something with them. No, I will never go down in history as a great thinker. ln fact, I won't go down in history at all, l'll just sink lower, and lower, and lower. BARBARA JANE STRASSER SENIOR REFLECTION S The New-jay who entered Roosevelt this term or last is probably wishing hard that he were one of those big-wheel Seniors that struts so proudly through the halls. I wonder if he realizes that now and then those Seniors wish that they were once more New-,lays and that they might re-live those four short years of high school. Short! says our New-jay. What do you mean, short? My answer is, Wait and see, wait and see. When you're near the time of graduation, when you see your friends graduate before you, you begin to think back over the years past and see just how quickly they went by. Somehow you forget about homework. about cramming for tests, about your pet gripes against the faculty. You just remember the fun you had, the places you went, the things you did, and, most of all, the friends you made. You'll not believe it, you one, or two, or three, but the day comes when most Seniors wish they didn't have to leave, that things could go on as before with no end. There are memories of football games and track meets. of dates and dances, of after-school get-togethers at hamburger or ice cream parlors, of school and class activities, of a thousand and one wonderful facets of high school life. So, when you see a girl in cap and gown crying on graduation night, don't think she's just a sentimental sissy-you may be feeling the same way the night of graduation. ALFRED GONZALEZ One Hundred Fifty-six WE LEARN TO DRIVE There's no class like a driver-education class. Needless to say, a class in driver's training will be quite assorted. Some people say that these classes are just collections of lazy people, contending that only the pupils who want a credit with the least possible effort on their part ever belong. But this is not true. There are other perfectly valid reasons for joining. Some- times a fellow will join just because a pretty little blonde he would like to become acquainted with has enrolled. Some have had the teacher before and, completely ignoring the fact that the subject might be hard to pass, join just because of him. Then, in rare cases, we find a person who, for some unheard of reason, would like to learn to drive! You can imagine some of the problems that the teacher may have to contend with. Here are a few slightly exaggerated examples: Among the types is Clutch-happy Carl. The teacher has told him that the clutch must be mastered before anything else. Carl really took that lesson to heart. He tried hard. l won't say that he jerked the car every time he started, but the car now has a new clutch. His opposite is Gear-stripping Gertie. She really is a bright girl at other things: but once she gets into a car, she personifies the masculine conception of women drivers. She simply forgets what the clutch is for! She made a lot of mistakes, but they all were based upon the misunderstanding of the fact that when the clutch is in, it's out: and when it's out, it's in. Confusing, isn't it? Then we come to Hot-rod Harry. Harry was taught by an expert. He's taking the course for the credit. His motto is: When confused or in doubt, step on the gas! Why, everybody knows that a sign that says 20 M. P. H. means that twenty miles per hour is the minimum speed limit: and that the difference between a major stop and a regular stop is. that on a major stop you don't stop completely, just shift into second and roar right on. Harry learned his lesson, though. He finally admits that the teacher was right. Ask him. He'll tell you. His visiting hours at City Hospital are from six to eight o'clock. Harry's opposite is Slow-as-a-Snail Susie. She's the one who believes that careful should be spelled with a capital C. She does everything methodi- cally. She starts out in first at one mile per hour, goes up to five in second, then speeds up to the alarming and dangerous rate of ten miles per hour. ln an open stretch with no traffic, she even ventures to fifteen, but this tends to make a nervous wreck of her. ln addition, she is always worried about the police when she is going this fast, for she is quite sure that this appalling rate is far above the speed limit. You'd never think that there might be people of high-school age who don't know their right hand from their left. l suggest that you enroll in a driver education class and become enlightened. lt isn't at all shocking for Mixed-up Mary to make a beautiful right turn-just after the teacher told her to turn left. There are other characters, like Worrier Willie, who is so busy thinking about his feet on the Floor that he is completely oblivious to traffic and traffic signals: and Day-dreamer Danny who thinks more about how much One Hundred Fifty-seven it will impress his girl when he learns to drive than of his present instruction: and Forgetful Freddie, who blithely parks his car on a hill, turns off the ignition, gets out, walks ten steps, then remembers that he forgot to put on his emergency brake. He doesn't even have to turn around to know what happened when he hears the crash at the bottom of the hill. When you see the newly-grayed hair on the driver-education teacher's head, don't attribute it to natural causes. just remember that he goes through the above-mentioned events in miniature a hundred times a term. LYLE NEEDHAM 13g,.iE,Q.y5:i3,- fi OUR FIRST DATE Never in all our lives will we forget our first date. lt was a double date, and we don't know when we were more scared unless it was on our second date. The boys came at ten after seven, five minutes early, but luckily' we were ready because we had been preparing for this historic moment since four o'clock. They were introduced to Ruth's family, who were all seated in a big circle with their hands on their laps like a jury. While we were putting on our coats, we never heard the weather discussed more thoroughly. Finally we dragged the fellows away from this interesting conversation, and proceeded to the car-er, jalopy. Arriving at the show without any acci- dents, we quickly found our seats and settled back to watch the hilarious story of Margie . Most of you must have seen Margie and know the agony she went through when she had her various mishaps. l was laughing hard when suddenly I heard something snap. Imagine my dismay! Susan looked at me horrified, and then we heard another snap. We quickly turned around and there was a little imp, l should say child, popping his bubble gum. Any other embarrassing incidents were left to Margie to handle as best she could. After the show we took up where Margie left off. We went to, a booth to get a coke and Susan and I were so nervous that when we lifted the coke our hand shook so much that coke dribbled down the front of our dresses. As soon as we gulped the rest of our refreshment down, we drove home like Men from Mars , trying to meet our deadline which we had already overstayed ten minutes. l was staying at Susan's all night, and as the fellows took us to the door, her dog announced our arrival. Our dates stammered good night, ran to the car and were gone in one minute Hat. We went upstairs and collapsed on the bed after this terrifying but yet most wonderful experience. Our first date! P. S. They asked us out again.

Alfred Gonzalez PAN-AMERICAN DAY Today, April l4, is Pan-American Day. Does that mean anything to you, or is it just a name? lt should mean something, for the great organiza- tion whose birth we celebrate today might well be an example to a troubled world of what nations united for their mutual benefit can do if they try. That organization is the Organization of American States, which until just two years ago was called the Pan-American Union. The Organization of American States was founded in Washington, D. C., April I4, I890, as a result of the efforts of our Secretary of State, james G. Blaine. It was and still is composed of most of the nations of North, Central, and South America, and its purpose is to promote peace, commerce, and friendship among the member nations by an exchange of information, trade, and good will. We have seen the rise and fall of the League of Nations, and we are now witnessing the difficulties of the United Nations. Yet, the Pan-American Union has for sixty years successfully maintained friendly relations between its member nations and has survived the trials and dissensions which have split and destroyed other organizations, of the same type. So great was this advanced step in international relations that Andrew Carnegie gave the Union a great sum of money in l9I0 for the construction of a beautiful head- quarters building in Washington, D. C. Under this united body the relations between the American republics have been improved and strengthened measurably. This has created a chain- like bond of friendship reaching from Canada to the Antarctic Sea. But, unfortunately, throughout the years the weakest link in this chain has been the United States. We have not lived up to the fullest meaning of Pan- Americanism. One of the greatest barriers to friendlier co-operation has been the differ- ence in language, which has prevented us from truly understanding our neighbors. We expect the natives of the other Americas to learn English, which is conceded to be the most difficult language in they world: and they do. All educated people south of the border speak our language fluently and read our literature. ln the schools of most of those countries pupils are required to take two years of English. And yet, we cannot trouble our- selves to learn their language. If a few more Americans would study Spanish, it would be a long step towards better Pan-American relations. ln addition, most Americans seem to think that the Mexicans and Central and South Americans can offer this great country nothing. That is quite untrue, for these people can offer a sampling of their culture, their literature. and their art, invaluable gifts in a world of growing commercialism. We One Hundred Sixty COIQDS wgallef de Za oosevell H seem to think of our southern neighbors as wild barbarians, when actually a great many of them are cultured, refined, and educated. And if you must think in terms of material things, then consider that these nations supply almost all of our tin, rubber, and coffee-products which are not found in the United States. Our southern neighbors fear us a great deal: they consider us the great Colossus of the North , a mighty power striving always to interfere with the free exercise of their governments. The United States must slowly allay this fear by adopting a firmer live-and-let-live policy. The occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the Organi- zation of American States is a fit point at which to reaffirm our desire to make the good-neighbor policy a living thing instead of just some words. EXPLANATION OF THE OFFICIAL FLAG OF THE AMERICAS The official Hag of the Organization of American States is white, symboliz- ing peace, and has on it three purple crosses standing for Columbus' three ships, the Nina. the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. The cross in the middle is larger than the other two to represent Columbus himself. Behind the middle cross is the bronze sun of the Incas, commemorating all the native races of the American continents. The legend, which does not appear on the flag itself, is: justice, Peace, Union, and Brotherhood. Songs by the Carol Club, Directed by Miss Hilb Accompanist, Janice Harbison Poll Pedican, Chiapanecas , and EstreIIita These gay, lively Spanish-American songs demonstrated clearly the native cheerfulness and romance of all Latin-American people. Poem-Arlayne Ziegler. Arlayne gave the wonderful poem, Americans , by German Berdiales, a forceful expression of the true unity of the American continents. In spite of our separate customs and appearances, we are Americans all . A Pledge for Youth in the Americas -Dave I-Ieartinger. Written by Gabriela Mistral, a well-known and beloved South American author, who urges youth to work for everlasting co-operation and harmony among the American republics in recognition of their common heritage .of freedom given them by such leaders as Washington and Bolivar. DANCES Directed by Miss Fager Miss Fager arranged a program of the best-known dances of Mexico and South America. She and the girls of her seventh period dance class told this story in dance: A group of American dancers arrive by plane to see some of the dances done by their Spanish-speaking friends. They see the tango, a tap dance performed by rhumba music, an acrobatic routine done by the matador and the bull, and the Mexican Hat Dance. The American dancers thank their friends by performing a modern dance for them. All the dancers then join in the friendly spirit of the conga. ALFRED GONZALEZ One Hundred Sixty-Iwo THE HOPE FOR PEACE The United Nations Pageant, The Hope for Peace, was presented October 26, l950, to the students of Roosevelt, and October 27, l950, to parents and friends as a climax for the Open House Program. This program, written and directed by Miss Olga Solfronk, was produced through the co-operation and help of Mr. Lorenzen and his stage-hands, Miss Fager and her dance groups, Miss Hilb and her choirs, Mr. Humfeld and his orchestra, and student speakers. The pageant consisted of three acts. The first act began with the beauti- ful overture, God of Our Fathers, played by the orchestra. After Mr. Stanley Hill had greeted the audience, everyone joined in the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner. Then Mayor Don Mueller said a prayer for the Achievement of Peace. The Omnipotencef' and One World sung by the A Cappella, and an imitationw of an American Frontier Dance by the dance groups were the highlights of the act. The setting of the second act at La Guardia Field depicted the arrival of the delegates from many countries on their way to San Francisco. As they descended from their plane, they greeted each other in various langu- ages: Roumanian, Serbian, Spanish, Greek, and French. After the delegates were seated in the grandstands, dances from Greece, China, Russia, and Mexico were performed by the dance groups. The Small Ensemble and the Carol Club sang the favorite songs of the nations in Spanish, French, Greek, and English. The second act came to a thrilling close, as dancers and singers, accom- panied by the orchestra, sang the stirring song, One World. In the third act, the students delivered the aims and purposes of the United Nation, which are: l. To save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. 2. To re-afhrm faith in fundamental human rights. 3. To establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obli- gations arising from treaties can be maintained. 4. To promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom. 5. To practice tolerance and live together in peace. Slides, containing pictures of leading statesmen were shown, as students quoted in their words, the American policy. The program came to a close with the singing of America the Beautiful by the audience, accom- panied by the orchestra. This program brought a sincere message of hope for the future of the world, to those who saw it, and to those who participated in it. It made everyone realize just how important a part the United Nations is playing in the future unity and peace of the world, and how important it is for everyone of us to understand its function, and give our support and co-operation in building One World on a firm foundation of Peace. DIANE ABERNATHY JUNE AXTHELM One Hundred Sixty-three HAWK BLUFF As l pulled myself upward to the top of the bluff, l couldn't help but think of the many moccasin-clad feet that had climbed this rise long ago to look out over what civilized man has named the Big Piney. Far below, l could see the river as it dashed over boulders, fighting a constant battle downwards, stretching out like a giant snake that finally was lost up by the even bigger hills. The very place seemed to be filled with enchantment, and my imagination went wild with excitement. Drums beat in my ears, and painted warriors danced to the steady rhythm of the tom-toms. Feathered bonnets flashed in the sunlight, and soon my own feet began to move with the rhythm. ln my right hand was a tomahawkg while in my left was a shield with a majestic eagle painted on it. Round and round the fire we danced, faster and faster. The blood rushed to my head and my courage seemed to mount higher and higher. Finally the chief threw down his toma- hawk. There was a mad dash for the horses, and in a cloud of dust the village vanished. Swift as the wind we rode: through the hills and down to a fertile plain where coming towards us, ever so swiftly, were more painted warriors. With an impact that was echoed throughout the hills, we met head-on. Spears, arrows, knives, tomahawks, the air was full of them, strik- ing out of the dust, sweat, and confusion like an unknown power. The only thoughts that came to my mind were, Pull back, swing, duck, pull back, swing! when before me an arrow hovered for a minute and plunged home to its target. The sweat, dust, men, and confusion seemed to melt away, leaving only a black emptiness. l came to with a start. The song of a bird, cut off by the shrill whistle of a hawk, as it slowly mounted the air and rose from the ledge below, were the only sounds that broke the silence. Once again l leaned back, yawned, and finished carving the words, Hawk Bluff, on the dead pine. PAUL SUDMEYER TIME What is time? I'll try to define it for you. Time is something that, well -if you haven't enough time you want more, and if you have more than you know what to do with, you want less. For example, suppose you are waiting for a train: the hands of the clock go around very slowly. Then, five minutes before the train is due, you discover you are waiting at the wrong gate. So what happens? Because you have very little time, you have to rush to the other gate. We couldn't do anything without time. We couldn't bake cakes, or paint houses, or fix fiat tires. Why? Well, because we just wouldn't have any time. Did you ever stop to think of the number of times in each day that you look at a clock to see what time it is? Let's try it just for fun. To begin with, the alarm goes off in the morning: you wake up. What is the first thing you do? Naturally, you look at the clock to see how much longer you can lie in bed. After lying in bed as long as possible, you get up. Then you wash, dress, and look at the clock again. When you finally reach school, you will be looking at the clock more in the next six hours, than you did Th the past eighteen. ROBERT HUGHES One Hundred Sixty-four MEMORIES OF A SENIOR With the close of this term in january, l95I, my high school days will be just a collection of memories. It seems hardly possible that four years could have slipped by in such a short time. Some students who still have two, three, or even four years ahead of them may not agree with me that time passes rapidly: but when they have reached the heights of the senior year, they will come to this conclusion as I have done. How well I remember myself as a little freshman, entering these halls for the first time! How I stared, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, at the long corridors and teeming throngs of upper-classmen, who looked down at me with scorn, often shouting new-jay! I was so very confused about which side of the stairs to go up and which side to come down, that if no one happened to be on the stairs at the time the bell rang, I would just have to stand near the foot until someone started up or down. Then I very uncon- cernedly strolled up or down to my next class. Aside from struggling to learn the laws. of traffic in this great institution, I struggled desperately to locate X and Y in my algebra class. Also, I remember sailing along with Odysseus on his travels and fighting in the Trojan War. I had a little trouble the first day locating my locker. which was on the ground floor in the front hall. But for some reason the front and back halls looked exactly alike to me: and after I had searched vainly for my locker in the back hall, I grew panic-stricken: but my sister, then a mighty eight, rescued me, thinking I was a typical new-jay. At last, that first term was over and now I was an educated two with the privilege of yelling new-jay at some poor lost, unsuspecting freshman. Soon I was a three-sophomore. As a sophisticated sophomore, I thought I was really getting up in the world. I took swimimng now and had lots of fun, paddling in the swimming' pool. Then how I dashed up to the third floor for my next class-dripping wet, smelling of chlorine, and very much out of breath! I also studied biology and learned the art of skilfully removing the insides of a formaldehyded frog which I named Ferdinand I became very fond of Ferdinand and found it very difficult to remove his little shiny eyes to study his brain properly. But Ferdinand and I were forced to part after I had dissected him into many small pieces. With my junior year upon me, I began to feel like a very important person- age. How well I remember the troubles of poor Silas Marner and the excitement and suspense of lVIacbeth . As Sixes, our class organized, and soon I was proudly wearing my new Sixes' button and talking about all the activities of my class. It surely was exciting to be an upper-classman. At long last I found myself beginning my Senior year! Imagine! A new senior! Where could the time have gone so rapidly? At this time I was introduced to chemistry. After a few acid burns and a few minor explosions, I became fascinated by this science of test tubes, acids, Bunsen burners, many peculiar odors, stopped-up sinks, and old, worn-out black aprons. This term seemed to have been my lucky term, as far as thrills and honors were concerned. My first thrill came when I was elected the co-editor of One Hundred Sixiy-five Bwaml. As a result, l had a wonderful term with my finger in almost every pie of Bwana doings. My other thrill came later, during the track season. This was to walk down the center aisle of the auditorium during the Track Day aud, wearing a sparkling red and white crown on my head! No one, except the other maids, can ever know the thrilling sensation and excitement of being a track maid-the suspense beforehand of learning the identity of the queen, and that never-ending walk down the aisle through the midst of hundreds of friendly but curious eyes and up the white-covered steps on to the stage to take her place beside the queenl With only one term left from those four years, l am happy and thrilled to have at last attained the might position of a full-Hedged Senior. l myself am now one of those big eights that all the freshmen and lower-term students honor, revere, respect, fear, and envy. But one thing troubles mel Do l look like the important mighty senior that l had once admired and feared? Now as a senior l am looking forward to Class Day, senior activities, and graduation in january, at which time all of these things will become memories. Added to this excitement of being a senior is also a little sadness. as it marks the end of my high school life-the happiest four years l shall have ever livedl DOROTHY SHAW I HATE FLIES l hate Hies! There can be no simpler passion than that. And there can be no more abominable a thing than a Hy. Flies seem to spend all their time, along with many of their insect brethren, in figuring out ways to annoy human beings and animals as well. And, of course, it is practically useless to try to stop their evil schemes. A Hy, you see, is equipped with weapons far superior to our puny ones. For instance, he has the equivalent of several hundred eyes and can see in front of, above, below, and even behind himself. Under those circumstances, how can one possibly hope to kill the beastly little creatures with a newspaper or magazine? Even a Hy swatter is often not quick enough to do the job. Furthermore, a Hy is equipped with a long proboscis from which he exudes a saliva-like goo which softens up any soluble substance such as cake icing. He then uses this same snout as a suction cup to draw in the softened material. Obviously, the Hy must be popular in the germ world, a friend to every bacterium, for germs and bacteria find Hies the ideal means of transportation. So great is the adaptability of Hies that D. D. T. is no longer nearly so effective against them as it once was. lt seems that they have developed quite a complete immunity to the poison. Therefore, it would appear that we will have to keep on putting up with those pesky insects called Hies, enduring with as much patience as possible the ordeal of seeing one settle on our food or having it buzz incessantly back and forth around the room.

Yet, scenes exemplifying the meaning, the spirit, and the practice of this great form of government are acted out daily in the United States, in Canada, in Great Britain, in Australia--in short, in all those countries of the world in which democracy has attained its highest development. ln America, a group of every-day workmen stand on a corner discussing politics. Some assail the President, others defend him, others remain neutral. A policeman comes up, not to arrest anyone, but to join in the discussion. ln the course of it he declaims loudly the faults of the city administration that pays his salary. This . . . is democracy. An intolerant rabble-rouser makes a speech denouncing the Negroes, the jews, and the members of all minority groups against whom there is prejudice. For this, he is arrested, tried, and convicted by a jury. But, on appeal, a federal judge decides that the conviction is unconstitutional, because the rabble-rouser was exercising his right of free speech. What he said was a danger to democracy. But the suppression of what he said was an even greater danger. This-is democracy. ln a large city in America or England, a morning newspaper agrees whole-heartedly with the actions and ideas of a public official. An evening newspaper in the same city disagrees with him. This . . . is democracy. Yes, these simple things are the essence, the marrow, the very pith of democracy. Democracy is, in the final analysis, more than anything else, a doctrine which holds that everyone is entitled to his own opinion, whatever that opinion may be. So strongly is this basic principle imbued in all Ameri- cans that a minor disagreement between two high school pupils over a wholly inconsequential matter may be ended with the simple statement, Well, you're entitled to your opinion, and l'm entitled to mine. We may be very glad that such incidents as these occur every day in thousands of communities in every democratic nation. When all factors are considered, the single most important, most invio- lable principle of democracy must remain the great one stated by Voltaire when he said, l may not agree with a word you say, but l shall defend unto death your right to say it. This remains-no-must remain the essential principle in any democratic nation because of this simple fact: Everyone wants to be free to think as he pleases: but if he supports the suppression of another's opinions, he sets a precedent which may lead to the suppression of his own: this he does not want: therefore, he will not, if the danger is made evident to him, support such suppression. Thus, democracy is essen- tially self-sustaining and, where it does not exist, will eventually assert itself. For a lasting form of government, for an enduring way of life, human society demands democracy.
