If you said to yourself, I don't owe my adviser anything , you are wrong. You do owe your adviser something. No, it is not money. You owe him, or her, the respect and courtesy and gratitude. Who! was it that helped you become adjusted when you were a freshman? Who is it that helps you plan your program for next term? Who is it that is always urging you to become a better student and individual? Yes, the answers to these three questions is, Your adviser. I am sure you can think of at least one kind thing your adviser did for you, for which you should be grateful. If you honestly can't think of one, whose fault is it, your adviser's or yours?

Today, because of the careful supervision of Miss Nerud and Miss Burke, the thirty- first edition of the Bwalna came out. When Rooseveltians of today page through this book in years to come, they will recall many pleasant happenings during their school days. To the staff, the yearbook represents more than a record of high school events and friends to be kept and looked over in future years. To us, it repre- sents a year' of work and fun, a year of meetings at 8:10 on Tuesday morn- ings. lt represents the essays we wrote and the calendar we helped to compile. lt represents the hours spent on mounting pictures and writing up the various sports. Today we are pleased with the results of our work. As we page through the book, we have a feeling of well-being. We have the satisfaction of a job well done. Each of us feels proud of our personal accomplishments and the accomplishments of the staff as a whole. We feel rewarded when walking down the hall, or in class, or at lunch where friends are autographing yearbooks and wishing everyone good fortune and happiness that we have had the opportunity to work on the staff. As this year's Bwana is carefully laid aside, preparations once again get under way for the new edition. BWANA STAFF. .39 J. Eighty B WA NA STAFF Sponsors: Miss L. Nerud and Miss M.

The B team coaches select the athletes of the future, and start to train them in the fundamentals of the game. The UA team coaches stress the finer points of the game, and weld each individual into a machine-like unit called a team. Mr. Hasser and Mr. Rogers work as a team for football and basketball. Coach Hasser has varsity football and B basketball, while Coach Rogers is A football line coach and A basketball. Mr. Miler, Mr. Slizewski, and Mr. Bennett are our new coaches who are going to continue the fine coaching tradition of Roosevelt athletics. Mr. Miler' is our new track coach and handled our Cross-Country team. Our B team football coach is Mr. Bennett, and our new swimming coach is Mr. Slizewski. Mr. Lake is our' able baseball coach. Mr. Lorenzen was this year's tennis coach before he was assigned his new position. At the base of our athletics is Coach Moneybagsf' Mr. Marx. Without his capable handling of our funds, athletics at Roosevelt would be on a much smaller scale. We are proud of our co-aches, and extremely appreciative of the fine job they are doing.

Although the season was not victorious, Roosevelt should feel proud of the 1954-55 basketball team.

You're out, at the ball game. With the coming of March the boys are again given a chance to try out for the baseball team. To be on the team a boy must be able to work hard and follow certain regu- lations if he wants to be a good ball player. The Rough Riders displayed good sportsmanship in all their games and played fairly and tried hard. The cheering section from Roosevelt was always proud of the way the Rough Riders played. Some of the games were close: Roosevelt' lost by a few runs. Defeat is hard to take, but the boys never complained. Our game with Central was lost by one run, and our game with Beaumont was lost by only three runs. The Roosevelt baseball team brought victories to the school on many occasions. On April 7, the players beat St. Mary's by five runs: on April 27, Maryland Heights in a state game by ten runs: on May 2, Sumner by one rung on May 9, Cleveland by four runs: on May 17, McKinley by only one rung and on May 19, Washingtoin Tech. by nine runs. Good teamwork and good coaching by Coach Lake did much for the team. Roosevelt lo-st five games and won live games in the league. The team's batting average was 264721.

One Hundred Twenty- two FRANCES LAUMAN CAROL GLAESER JANET MEYER Track Queen One Hundred Twenty-three TRACK AUD The time had finally arrived: the day of the crowning of the 1955 Track Queen had come. The question on the tip of everyone's tongue was, Who will be queen? Excitement filled the air as everyone rushed to his seat so that the aud could begin. A hush of appreciation swept the audience as they gazed at the beauti- fully decorated stage. Mr. Lorenzen began the aud. by introducing the 1954 Track Queen, Miss Dorothy Vukcevich, who was seated upon the throne. Trumpets blared, and the Iirst maid, Sandra Lalzrancois, escorted by George Vlasak, came forward. The second maid, Miss Barbara McAboy, escorted by Dean Mathews, followed. The third maid, Miss Marlene Meier, was escorted to the stage by Ken Braden. Excitement mounted as the fourth maid, Miss Barbara Velten, escorted by Al Rowbottom, appeared. Tension filled the air as the fifth maid, Miss Ann Yehling, escorted by Clint Carr, was introduced. Amid thunderous applause, Miss Janet Meyer was led to the stage by our Mayor, Ray Malsh, where she was cro-wned 1955 Track Queen. Miss Janice Stratmann presented the new Queen with a gold cup and best wishes. 9 9 The cheerleaders led us in cheers for the new and the retiring Queens. Coach Ault and Mr. Marx encouraged everyone to go out to the field meet to cheer our boys to victory. The captains of the junior and senior teams spoke a few words. Mr. Mecker addressed us briefly and wished the boys luck. The beautiful program was concluded by everyone's singing the Alma Mater.

CHARLES WONES ', ei? , ,Al w r t One Hundred Twenty -six D CROSS COUNTRY Cross Country is one of the hardest and least recognized sports at Roose- velt. The races are run at the two-mile state course in Forest Park. The daily work-out consists of running two miles at school and at various times running around the outside of Tower Grove Park. This year Roosevelt had its biggest turnout in years: but it wasn't big enough. lf more boys would participate, Roosevelt could have a champion- ship team. The boys that lettered this year are: Don Myers, Bob Watson, Nick Holler, Ray Papenberg, Don Kammerer, John Dodson, .lim Madison, and Don Shepker: the last two are freshmen. The 1955 team had a successful season, winning five dual meets and losing three. In the two big meets, Roosevelt made very good showing, both times placing in the upper' division. The meets went as follows: ln City Meets Roosevelt Hnished fifth. ln District and State meets Roosevelt finished eighth out of twenty-two schools. Our captain, Don Myers, was our first man in finishing a high seventeenth. NICK HoLLER 41? Q ,755 W One Hundred Twenty-seven FOOTBALL Roosevelt had an off-season this year in football. An over-all record of two victories and seven defeats, and two victories against four defeats in the Public High League gave them eighth place in a ten-team league. The enthu- siasm for next year is very high, however, as the majority of the players will be returning next year. The following boys lettered: Larry Kammien, Bob Rombauer, Ross Clenin, Craig Meier, Ken Bateman, Dean Matthews, Bill Hindle, Jerry Smith, Sam Scott, Andy Ellis, Larry Lee, Jim Shardy, Guy McCoy, Reggie Werner, Jerry Miller, Don Varner, Bob Piles, Bill Heinzrnan, Tom Woods, Frank Lang- ley, Bob Lee, Lawton De Priest, Ron Tanner, Harry Hixson, Ted DeRunja. Those boys who did not letter, but nevertheless gave a good account of themselves are: Robert Doll, Charles Pruitt, Alex Rahm, William Bogue, Eran- cis Wessling, Tom Milligan, Burke Dewent, Ward Erago, Harold Meek, John McKay, Lionel Moore. WEBSTER SLIPS BY ROOSEVELT 20-14 On Friday evening, September l6, Webster High, last year's mythical state champs, slipped by Roosevelt, 20-14, with the game ending in Roosevelt's pos- session on the two-yard line of Webster. After the first quarter, during which time Webster scored all three of its touchdowns, it was an all-Roosevelt game. Larry Lee ran 70 yards for a Roosevelt touchdown. Jim Shordy made the con- version. Harry Hixson caught a screen pass for the other Roosevelt touch- down. Dean Matthews plunged over the line for the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter Roosevelt was on the two-yard line of Webster, but the at- tempt to score was defeated by the clock, as time ran out. One Hundred Twernty-eight One Hundred Twenty-nine ST. LOUIS U. STOPS ROOSEVELT 39-0 Roosevelt fared badly at the hands of their St. Louis University High ad- versaries, coming out on the short end of a 39-0 score. Roosevelt played a creditable game, but the strong Junior Bills overp-owered them. The team just could HCI get started against the strong St. Louis Uni- versity High defense, because each time a drive was started, we fumbled. By the end of the game Roosevelt had fumbled nine times. C. B. C. EDGES ROOSEVELT 7-6 On September 30, the Rough Riders were edged out by the Cadets, 7-6. The first quarter ended with no score: but in the second, C. B. C. chalked up a 7-point lead. In the third period Dean Matthews scored from the l5-yard line, but the conversion was not good when Jim Shordy was two feet short of tying the score. Neither team scored the last period. BEAUMONT BLANKS ROOSEVELT 33-0 Roosevelt lost its opening game in the Public High League to Beaumont, 33-0. The opening quarter of the game was played with neither team scoring. Beaumont scored 13 points' in each of the second and third quarters. In the last quarter Beaumont scored 7 points, leaving the score at the end of the game 33-O. Roosevelt was well represented in the stands, however. ROOSEVELT SMASHES SOLDAN-BLEWETT 26-0 Roosevelt gained their first victory of the seaso-n against Soldan-Blewett, 26-0. There was no- score in the first half as both teams made' frequent fum- bles. In the opening minutes o-f the second half, Dean Matthews ran around left end for a 53-yard touchdown. The attempt for the extra point was not good. Later on in the period, quarterback Harry Hixon faded back and threw a long pass to Larry Lee for the second touchdown of the game. Again the kick for the extra point was no good.

One Hundred Forty-five A LOVE LETTER TO MY ALARM CLOCK Dearest Ben, You just can't imagine the feeling you arouse in me everytime I hear your voice. I become choked with emotio-n. I try not to listen to what you have to say, but then my conscience bothers me because I know you're right. You're always right though, and that doesn't seem quite fair. I ought to be able to disregard your advice once in awhile, without hearing that little voice saying, You'd better listen. As my hand caresses your face and slides down your back, I never fail to notice how smooth and cool you are. When I give you a hard nudge in the back, you stop! talking always. But I shouldn't have to use force to soothe you. By then I've made you angry, and you decide to give me the silent treat- ment the rest of the day. By the next morning, you've quite forgotten that I hit you yesterday, and again I hear the sound of your voice. If you only knew what you do to mel But then I better not tell you, becau.se you might become too confident and decide to- find yourself another girl. I can take anything but that. You have no idea how much I need you, The sound of your voice stirs me into action, and I do what I know I should. I cou1dn't let you down because I know how you feel about me. You're very demanding, to-o. You never give up until yo-u get yo-ur way. No one else dares to take the privileges you take, and yet, I don't stop yo-u. I'm completely in your power. You have the ability to bring me back from far-away places, and to destroy my fondest dreams. You've become so overbearing that you frighten me, yet I still remain your slave. What can I do? I will continue to o-bey you the rest of my life, for Without my alarm clock I'd never be on time. With love, BARBARA SUGGS TIME WELL SPENT How thrilling it was to take a swift ride along the Swiss mountains in a bobsled! The skiers on both sides seemed to be enjo-ying the fluffy white snow, although quite frequently they would take a very ungraceful spill. The snow was so beautiful that I felt that I was in a different world. The frightening silence rang in my ears as the sled raced faster and faster along its directed path. How sorry I was when the bobsled turned the last curve, and I could see the familiar lodge a few hundred feet ahead! As the sled slowed down to a speed I thought a snail could outrun, the friendly tourists rushed out to greet us. The evening sped on, and night fell over the valley. While Walking towards the lodge, I could hear the beloved folk songs sung in harmony. Every note echoed from mountain to mountain, back and forth through the valley. I thought there could never be a night quite like this. Much to my surprise, the next day proved to be just as delightful. In the early morning ho-urs I went skiing. I started off very slowly along the side of the slope, Frequently other skiers would jump from the slo-pe above to the slope below, directly over my head. I thought any moment they would land on top One Hundred Forty-six of me, leaving me in a disorderly pile. But no such accident occurred. I guess they were better skiers than I thought. Finally I go-t up enough courage to try out the big slope. Down I went in a big swoop. Skiers on both sides criss-crossed in front of me, making me very dizzy. When I reached the bottom of the slope, a funny looking cable-car was waiting to take me back up again. Once down the slope was enough. I was ready to sit down and watch the Skating Carnival which was going to take place that afternoon. Oh, how enjoyable it was to sit on the side of the massive ice rink and drink hot chocolate served by a waiter on skates! Two large lions, carved o-ut of solid ice, marked the entrance point for the gayly costumed performers. Throughout the entire performance, the thought of the glorious time I was having in Switzerland raced through my mind. The lights in the theatre flashed on, and brought me back to America in a matter of seconds. I remembered I was only watching Cinerama Holiday , but I must admit it was time well spent. CAROL CTLAESER PLAYING TENNIS WITH A GIRL I usually play tennis with boys, because boys usually p-lay a better game, but when absolutely no boys are available, I resort to- playing with girls. Girls are fine and necessary on a dance floor or in a kitchen, but II1O'St of them seem inadequate and out of place on a tennis court. After all, the sun is very hot there, and the game is strenuous, and having led sheltered lives, Csewing and drying dishesj it's no wonder the girls exhaust themselves quickly. When playing with a tired girl, there is no joy in smashing a backhand to a far corner, when you kno-w she will surely miss it if she has energy eno-ugh to try for it. You feel almost sorry for making her chase the ball and decide to hit it easily thereafter. But you find that you have never had occasion to practice making it easy for your o-pponent, and will probably begin to lose points for yo-urself. Before you know it, you may even lose the set. At this, the girl will usually make some chiding remark, in the same' line of banter that has flowed from your mouth when the score was in your favor. This is a sharp blow to the male ego. Of course, you know you are the better player, better than any girl, and have merely given the game away. It takes an enormous amount of will-power to keep from saying so out loud: the restraint is, you'll realize later, a wonderful practice in character control. But restraining yourself is a great chore, and you came to the park to have fun. So- just this once you decide to- show off. You challenge her to another game, intending really to trounce her, and put things as they should be. However, she decides she is too worn out, and introduces you to her co-usin, last year's junior single's champion, who has appeared out of nowhere, a freckle-faced, twelve-year old girl, who stands only a little higher than the net. As her first blinding serve comes sizzling across the net, you know that masculine superiority is lost forever. CONRAD SCHWARZE One Hundred Forty-seven One Hundred Forty-eight STRANGER IN THE NIGHT The night air was cold and damp as I hurried out of the store where I worked. It was a Saturday night, and many of the girls were met by their friends at the front of the store. No one was there to- meet me, so I walked down the street alone. It seemed impossible that not more than fifteen minutes ago this same street was alive with crowds of people and brilliant with multi- color lights shining from every store window. Now the street was deserted: the windows were dark, and the street seemed as though it belonged to a ghost town. While walking down the lonely street, I thought of the many customers I had waited on that day-some nice--some crabby. Thinking of them, only made me realize that my feet were very tired and sore from a day of constant standing behind a counter. With about five more blocks to go before reaching my destination, I met a stranger. He was very friendly and rather cute . I was not afraid of him, and I think he felt the same way about me. He walked along side of me all the way home and even came upon the back porch with me. Mother opened the door and was very surprised to see my companion. I would have introduced him to her, but I did not know his name, for the friendly, little dog could not tell it to me. PATRICIA NIEDZIALEK ON BEING THE OLDEST I wish I were the oldest, I've often heard my younger sister say. If she only knew what being the oldest meant, she might not wish quite so hard. The main chore, or Hresponsibilityf' as my mo-ther says, is baby-sitting with my other sister who is sixteen months old. What a job! But that isn't all. Iron- ing is another responsibi1ity which is too much for Dorothy, my younger sister. You must set a good example, says Mom. If Dorothy sees you iron- ing, she will get the idea. Either my sister is dense, or I'm not setting a very good examp-le because she hasn't done anything abo-ut ironing yet. But being the oldest isn't all work. In fact, it's a lot more fun than work. You can always 'lboss your sisters when mother isn't at home. Of course, if they're like mine, they don't pay any attentio-n, but it's fun to try. Then there are all the places you can go-and how you are envied! You are very important in your younger brothers' and sisters' eyes. They don't realize you aren't so important as you seem, but don't tell them you aren't! It's much more fun if they don't know. Although there are many advantages and disadvantages in being the o-ldest, there are a couple that stand out. The main disadvantage is the good example you are supposed to set. Whenever my sisters do something they s'houldn't, the familiar cry is, Bobbye did it, Why can't I? Then I'm in trouble. The main advantage is the freedom allowed over my sisters and brothers, All things co-n- sidered, I wouldn't change places with either of my sisters because I like being the oldest. BARBARA VELTEN One Hundred Forty-nine WOMEN DRIVERS Men have their nerve! Why is it that every time an accident occurs between a man and woman driver, it's always the woman's fault? The man says, She pulled out right in front of me, or, She had no right to go ahead, or maybe, She wasn't looking where she was going. When a woman signals for a left hand turn, and makes a right hand turn, the man behind her should have enough sense to stop. Shouldn't he? If a woman is. going the wrong way on a one-way street, what do the men have to complain about? She is going one way! Men are often disturbed by women sticking their arms out of the win- dow without any special reason. Well, can men think of a better way to dry fingernail polish? Although women may nOit always be the best drivers in the world, sta- tistics show women drivers have fewer accidents than men- they do show a sense of sternness whken behind the wheel. This statement can be proved, if you have ever watched a man and a woman come upon an intersection at the same time. The woman will look the man straight in the eye, and p-ull out ahead. While a woman is shopping, she often double parks in front of the mar- ket. Of course, if some man would have been gentlemanly enough to leave her a place, she wouldn't have caused an obstruction. Seriously though, if both men and women would learn to show a little more courtesy while driving, this would be a better and safer world in which to live. CAROL GLAESER A STORMY NIGHT One dark, stormy night last May, I was at home alone. I decided to do my homework since it seemed a better thing to do than to listen to- the mystery programs on the radio. I was almost finished with my homework when I thought I heard a faint noise outside my bedroom door, a noise that sounded to me like a footstep. I listened for a minute: and when I did not hear it again, I decided that it must have been my imagination that was playing tricks on me. Suddenly I heard it again, this time I knew that it was not my imagina- tion teasing me. Instead of sitting still, I decided the best thing to do would be to go and find out the cause. Feeling rather brave, I picked up my tennis racket and started for the door, I flung open the door into a small, dark hall. I stared straight ahead, expecting to find someone there staring back at me. To my surprise, however, I saw no one. I was about to step further out into the hall to investigate more thor- oughly when something fell on my foot. Was I relieved, however, when I looked down and saw our toy fox terrier standing there with her ears perked up and holding her squeaky toy mouse! I knew then that the noise I had heard was made by the mouse. one Hundred F,-hy FRANCES LAUMANN THE FIRST DAY There is one day in my life that I shall remember for a long time to come. That day was the date of my first appearance at high school. I had waited impatiently for the summer vacation to end. However, when the day of days arrived, I was as nervous as a bridegroom going to his wedding. Many questions ran through my mind: Was I dressed right? Would I get lost? Would the big upper-termers take advantage of the situation and use me as an object for their practical jokes? With my imagined fears greatly magnified, I decided to stay at home. My mother didn't share my line of reasoning, unfortunately, and I ended meekly going in the general direction of Roosevelt. I tried to remember all the good advice given me by helpful friends and relatives the night before. But as I approached the edifice of higher education, my mind suddenly became blank. The closer' I came, the more I noticed an odd sensation in my stomach. I stood in the hall with a large number of Freshmen, each of us sho-wing plainly our amazement and fear. How we suffered when a group of boys tagged us with the name, New Jay! I, myself, felt great relief as we were herded into the sanctuary of the auditorium. The worst blow came when I found that I had been assigned into an advisory which contained none of my friends to give me moral suppo-rt. I soon made new friends in my advisory and completed the day's requirements in their company and with their help. I found myself actu- ally looking forward to returning the next day. I often wonder if I will experience the similar emotions my first day at college. I hope not! DENNIS OTTOLINI. PUCKY HUDDLE It was an August evening at Davisville, Missouri. This is the small Ozark village which Fannie Hurst, the great present day novelist, discovered and so vividly described in her books, the original Pucky Huddle. The pines were casting their long shado-ws as the sun was setting. The crickets were starting their evening staccato, the frogs were croaking their bass, and the whippoorwill joined in to form a symphony of nature. It was at the one-room schoo-l house that Bob, Donny, Richard, and I met with the idea of shortening the lives of a few bull frogs. Heavily armed with clubs, rifles, and two flashlights, we proceeded in a Model T Ford to the neighboring creek in search of our quarry. Richard thought that it would be a goo-d idea to leave our fire-arms behind, and the rest of us thought it was a good idea to hunt with just clubs and flashlights. After a half hour of hunting, and with only one skinny frog to show for our work, we disgustedly decided to quit. While we were sitting on the One Hundred Fifty-one gravel bar, resting and trying to decide what we would do next, we heard a weird, indescribable howl that made our hair stand on end coming from a near-by field. After recovering from our first surprise we decided to find out what this strange varmint was. We gradually made our way up to this field by way of a slough. All of us got into a freshly-cut portion of a wheat field by hopping a barbed wire fence. We walked a few hundred yards, looking for tracks or clues. We kept hearing this strange howl as we walked and walked. All o-f us became terrified, and to add to our predicament, we were lost. After continuing on running and walking, we saw a flashlight moving up ahead, and heard the welcome voice of a man saying, Who's there? . The moral of this story is that water is wet, mosquitoes bite, frogs jump, and boys run when they hear weird howls in the night. BERNARD TISCHLER CUTTING THE GRASS To me there is nothing more detestable than the summer chore of cutting the grass. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing my chores under' cer- tain conditions, but, alas, these conditions are never' present. For a refresher while working, it is. nice to listen to my favorite radio station with the latest tunes, sip a cold coke, and, in general, lie in the shade relaxing, But not mel My mother is the ambitious type, and her motto is 'Finish what you start no matter what. I agree this is a goo-d motto, but only in certain cases, I pondered for a few minutes if I should tell her I felt sick and could not cu.t the grass, but I also had to consider that she would not let me go to the sho-w that night. What should I do? I finally decided with hesitancy to help cut the grass and get the old nuisance out of the way. After going over the lawn a few times with the mower, I began to think, This isn't so bad. But these thoughts soon perished as mother handed me the shears and told me to trim the sides. I plunged into the task and right then and there decided since the sweat was run- ning down my face, that there were many more cool and comfortable' places in which I'd rather be. As I kept on working, I began to- have a faint ray of hope that it would rain. But my hopes were soon shattered as the sun came out even brighter. About this time, my father leaned out the window and had the nerve to ask me when I was going to get busy! As I stood there slo-wly counting, he resumed his difficult task of listening to the ball game and sip- ping a cool lemonade. I finally completed the task and sighed with relief: the job was finished until next week. MoLLY Jo WINTER One Hundred Fifty-two One Hundred Fifty-three THE PARADE OF MAN People are funny. We go to the zoo to watch the monkeys and see them imitate us. We go to the movies to see actors perform, and to plays with live people in them for our amusement. Yet, if we would just realize it, a far more interesting and informative show is go-ing on before our eyes all the time. All we have to do is to open our eyes, let a little imagination be our partner, relax, and watch the show. The place-anywhere you can watch people. The title- well, just call it The Parade of Man. As you get set for this show, let your eyes wander over the characters in it. Some are short, some are tall, some broad, some thin: some noisy, some quiet: some confident, some timid: some are shy, some are boastful. Some you notice, some you don't. One that you will notice is that thin little man over there, impatiently stamping his foot. You suppose he is waiting for a bus. No wonder he doesn't have much hair: worrying like that would make anyone's hair fall out. He should learn to take life easy. But some people never learn. Your attention is then distracted to the two middle-aged ladies bearing down on you. You can just hear them say to the other, And do you know what she said to him? The other one, of course, doesn't know, but the whole town will know by tomorrow! They pass by, and your eyes come to rest on a small boy walking by him- self, and you wonder what he will be like when he grows up. Will he become a good solid citizen or will he be another problem to society? Your heart reaches out to that small boy: he looks so alone. Just then he looks up at you and gives you a big, toothless grin. Then you visualize him as a good solid citizen. With that grin, how co-uld he be anything else? He, too, passes down the street. You couldn't miss the next two people. They float down the street, bliss- fully unaware of anyone but each other. They float over to the jewelry store, and you wonder how long it will be before they buy the rings and pronounce the marriage vows. Then into your vision comes the All-American boy, confident of him- self as he swings down the street. Probably he p-lays football fo-r his school team. Two light-hearted teen-age girls heave a big sigh as he passes. And he, of course, turns his head to give them a second look. That blonde was cute, he thinks. The business man hurrying to his appointment, the housewife rushing to finish her shopping, the secretary window-shopping, the teen-ager popping her gum, the old man thinking of the good old days when he was young, the grandmother buying yarn to- make a sweater for the newest grandchild, the little girls playing hopscotch, the little boys teasing the girls, the little baby with his personality ready to be molded, the father greeting his children, the bum on the street corner, the social worker hurrying to help him, the clergyman, the lawyer, the doctor, and ,the laborer-all of these are characters in this play. The show lasts just as long as you want to watch. It never ends. Just remember: open your eyes, let imagination be your partner, relax, and enjoy the show, The Parade of Man. BETTY HUFFSTUTLER. One Hundred Fifty-four One Hundred Fifty-five WALKING ON GLASS If you have never witnessed the aftermath o-f the breakage of so-me article of dishes or glassware in our lunchroom, you have missed a great deal. One day, as I was sitting drooling over my lunch, awaiting the arrival of my slow but sure friend, who was slowly but surely acquiring his lunch, there happened by two boys, who were determined, in the confusion to walk on the same spot at the same time. One was carrying two glasses of water. Naturally one glass was dropped and broken. Not following the usual routine, the glass was not picked up and I, not being the over-helpful type, decided not to get out in the aisle and keep o-ur school clean. Luckily this is where the fun began. The shattered pieces were lying in a very busy section of the lunchroom, near the door, and near the silverware, so they came into contact with many so-les before they were reduced to a pulversized state. A few of the lucky first to come across the glass were those who aren't surprised at anything, and so they merely kicked the pieces as they dragged their feet along the floor. The third or fo-urth person, a girl, evidently thought that no-thing or no- body could bring her to lowering her head. But when she stepped on the glass, which made its own peculiar noise, she looked around quicker than if someone had been shot near her. She was frightened, although it is not an uncommon thing to step on something while picking one's way through the debris on the floor. One of the next was a boy who looked at the glass as if he dared it to get under his feetg and when it didn't, he walked away triumphantly. Before, after, and among these were the kind that made a game of walking between cracks., and had a tremendous time trying desperately not to injure the fragments strewn over the floor. Soon after came three girls who were so busy talking that they didn't see what was ahead. The center one, however, probably assigned as the guardian, calmly pushed the others clear of the hazard. A few more walked by with various expressions, but then my friend ar- rived with his lunch and, being the ever-helpful type, he kindly arranged the few remaining large pieces in a neat pile to be disposed o-f later. Thus ended my noonday entertainment. PAUL BEMBERG. GLASS Glass was made and used even before the time of written historyg and years afterward objects made of glass were found in all parts of the world. Obsidian, a crude kind of glass from volcanoes, was used by the savage tribes thousands o-f years ago to make weapons, such as arrowheads. The Egyptians made use of glass and invented the blowpipe for one process in the making of their glass objects. The Romans used glass for their windows, al- though only the richer people could afford windows. The windows provided light to shine through, but did not provide clear vision. The Romans also made beautiful mosaics, some of which have been found in Great Britain. About a thousand years ago, throughout Europe and England, beautiful cathedrals containing stained glass windows of rich colors were built as Christianity was One Hundred Fifty-six being spread. The early history of American tells how the traders exchanged beads for the Indian's furs. Today, glass has hundreds of uses. Plain glass containers for jams and jellies Mom puts up or buys in the store, light bulbs, ash trays, fancy perfume bottles, mirrors, jewelry, figurines, eye glasses, and cameras are only a few of the things in our daily lives made from glass. Glass also has technical and scientific uses: one could mention the hand magnifier, microscopes, telescopes, field glasses, large astronomical telescopes to gaze into the heavens at the stars and planets, and laboratory equipment such as thermometers and the X-ray ap- paratus for studying and helping to cure sickness, Glass is made into fiber to insulate electric machines, as filters for chemicals, reinforcement for plastics, and cloth for draperies. Glass provides both service and beauty in our daily lives and is used in many, many more ways than it ever was in the past. LYDIA MATULA. ON GETTING TO SCHOOL ON TIME Some people I know think they lead a rough life because they have to be at school at eight-forty-five. Well, I have to get there at eight. Imagine! While others are busy sawing wood, I have to get out of that soft, warm cocoon which I call my bed and get myself ready for school. After my mother has called me about the fifth time, I realize that she must be trying to awaken me. But surely she won't make me go to school to- day, my neck feels broken. I wonder if that could be because I slept with my head dangling over the edge of the bed all night? What I need is a chiropractor. I suppose I'll have to get up now, because it's seven o'clock and I have to leave in fifteen minutes. I bounce out of bed and into the bathroom to- splash a few ice-cold drops of water on my still sleep-filled face and then back into my room to get dressed. I guess I'm just about as bad as a girl when it comes to deciding what to wear. After a tough decision, I dress hurriedly and, after gathering my books and papers-well-strewn from the previous night's labor- ious session of homework-I rush out to the kitchen where I eat a hasty break- fast of orange juice, toast, and eggs. Soon afterward I'm on my way to the bus stop, with books under arm and toast in hand. In spite of all my belated haste, I get to the corner in plenty of time to miss the bus: and after a trying wait another sardine can, well-packed as usual, pulls up and plunges into the largest mud puddle in its path. I board the bus, by no means free of dripping clothes, thinking that I am safely on my way. But on the bus I have the misfortune to get sandwiched between two ladies who must be honorary members in the 'AOver ZOO Cpoundsj Club. As the bus stops at my corner, the driver says, Leave by the rear door, please. So I scramble to the back and descend the steps, juggling my books. Running towards school and my A period class, I wonder how many people I left in a prone position this time on my way through the bus. But I get to my classroom in plenty of time, for the bell doesn't begin its altogether too short ring until just as I have stepped inside the door. RONNIE SEWELL One Hundred Fifty-seven JUVENILE DELINQUENCY The search for someone to blame for delinquency currently tends to center on the parent. Some express their opinions in this fashion: 'lluvenile delin- quency is at bottom parental delinquency. Jail the parents. Fine them. Make them attend lectures on how to bring up their children. This attitude tends to over-simplify a very complex problem. However, the home remains the number one influence in shaping the per- sonality and behavior of each one of us. It writes: on the clean slate of the in- fants habits and attitudes. It contributes to the personality structure. Conse- quently, the family has the opportunity to provide a shield against delinquent behavior. The child's concept of law and order is related to the attitudes of his par- ents. This can be noted in the evasion of income taxes, the fixing of the traffic tickets, or the simple instruction to a child to tell the bill collector that Mama is out when she is at home. On a whole, parents do not contribute to the delinquency of their children willfully, but contributio-n based on ignorance is large. In other words, parents who consciously guide their children to delinquency and crime constitute a small fraction of the parents of delinquent children. But children who become habitu- ally delinquent show some weakness in their family history. Their parents may have been too indulgent or actually resented their very existance. They may have left the children to their own devices while they themselves pursued their own pleasures. The parents may have imposed too much discipline or none at all. The family relationship may have been strained by living in crowded dwellings with relatives, or by bickering or poverty. The home may have been broken by separation, divorce, death, or a working mother. Not all children exposed to such conditions will become delinquent, but most children who stray from the path of virtue will come from such defective homes. Thus, the family is a large factor in juvenile delinquency. You have been reading about vandals who break into schools and wreck classrooms for no sensible reason. When brought to court, the culprits are either' put on proba- tion or ordered to pay restitution fees. If their parents were forced to pay the full amount of damages, they would keep a closer eye on the kind of fun their children enjoyed. Therefore, we can conclude, a finer standard of parenthood would be one big step toward the solution o-f juvenile delinquency. JOYCE REINHARDT. SUSPEN SE It was just a gentle tap. I felt his hand moving across my shoulder. Finally it stopped. I could feel his hot breath going down the back of my neck. I felt him coming closer and closer. As I started to move, he said, '1Sit still, I started to cry when I saw his hand coming towards me as he said, Open wide, and put the drill into my mouth. KAY ADAMS One Hundred Fifty-eight One Hundred Fifty-nine WHY I WISH I WERE A MAN Men have such an easy life! This thought occurred to me Thursday af- ternoon as some cold solution dripped down my back while I was getting a permanent. I had been sitting in a chair for over an hour, and I was feeling perfectly miserable as I realized how nice it would be to be a man. Everyone accepts a man with straight hair, while a woman is expected to have curls. Unless she happens to be one of the lucky few with naturally curly hair, she usually has a problem. The solution to that problem is a permanent. There ought to be a law! If a man wants a date with the girl of his dreams, all he has to do is ask her. She can give him her undivided attention throughout the evening and act her very best, but unless he decides to spend an evening with her again, all her efforts are in vain. If a man wants to talk to a girl on the telephone, all he has to do is call her. However, the young lady could be eating her heart out for the sound of the gentleman's voice, and all she could do would be to wait and hope. There just isn't any justice. A man can go out with the 'lboys any time he chooses, and people just think he is giving the girls a rest. However, if a girl is seen too often with the fellow members of her sex, people think she can't get a date, and no self-respect- ing female wants a reputation like that. If women get together to talk, their conversation is called gossip , but if men do the same, they are said to have a discussion. If a woman makes a remark about someone else she is called catty g while if a man enjoys this same privi- lege, he is just giving a frank opinion. If a woman drives into a lamp-post, peo- ple just say A woman driver , however, if a man hits the lamppost, it's called an unavoidable accident. With the aid of all these advantages, it's no wonder that the stro-nger sex have such an easy life, and it's no wonder that I say, 'AI wish I were a man. BARBARA SUGGS. TRAFFIC PROBLEM As I was walking to school yesterday, feeling rather cheerful even though I was coming to school, I came to what is commonly known as an intersection. There weren't any electric signals, just stop signs. I took my stand on the corner prepared to- cross. As I was in a very good mood and in no particular hurry, I didn't mind that a few cars whizzed by without giving me a chance to cross. Undisturbed, I stood on the corner reflecting, Man with all his inventions and discoveries hasn't found a solution to the traffic problem. However, running out of thoughts on traffic and still standing on the corner, I began to get a little impatient. Then anger slowly began to rise. l'After all! What do these people think I am? A statue? With disgust, anger, and anxiety in my face, I stared at the desired corner across from me. I felt like a drowning person trying to reach shore. Just then, a man in a truck sto-pped, smiled, and waved me across the street. All at o-nce the world seemed bright and gay again, and I went happily on my way. BETTY HUPFSTUTLER One Hundred Sixty A BUGGY ASSIGNMENT The time is January. The temperature outside is ten degrees above zero. Pleasant thoughts of warmer weather are running through my mind. They are no longer pleasant as I recall the one-hundred-and-ten-degrees heat when I attended summer school to take an advance subject, bio-logy. Our first assignment was to bring to class the next day: twenty different leaves and twenty different insects. Getting the leaves was easy enough as all I had to do was to walk over to Tower Grove Park and help myself from a large assortment. However, collecting the bugs was to be a different sto-ry. Even the bugs knew it was one-hundred-and-ten-degrees in the shade and, having better sense, disappeared to cooler places. Their hiding, natu-rally, made my job rougher. After hunting for hours, my bug jar was still empty. I had tried every possible way of getting bugs, but all proved fruitless. A brainstorm then hit me. Why not enlist my friends on my block into a bug-catching army? From this army I received exactly one dilapidated cockroach, smothered with flit. This so-called army of bug hunters wasn't functioning and soon deserted me and my cause. A bug council was held at nightfall. The representatives present were my mother, my dad, and almost-desperate I. After conferring with my colleagues, we decided on the electric light method. A one-hundred-watt light was put in our window. With its aid and that of a stepladder, I soon had a rare collection of flying creatures. The next day I took my menagerie to school in several mason jars. When the instructor called my name for the attendance record. I heard twenty Bz-z-Z-z-z-z-'s coming from my jars,-yes'm, all twenty-one of us were there! Bugs Bernie had done it again. BERNARD TISCHLER ANTICIPATION The great moment had arrived. We had been practicing for months so that everyone would be in step. We had made hats and banners out of gaily-colored crepe paper to- add to the festivity of the occasion. All of the girls were proudly wearing new summer dresses. In our purses and billfo-lds we were carrying the tickets we had purchased and the spending money that we had been saving from our allowances. All through the weeks, each evening, before I went to bed, I had crossed out one more day. I had been hoping and praying for pretty weather for that great event and now there weren't any more days to cross out, and all of my hopes and dreams had come true. For it was a beautiful sunshiny day as we left school that morning to march in the parade. Yes, everything was grand for the biggest day of the year had arrived: it was Sherman School's picnic at the High- lands. I had a perfectly wonderful day! BARBARA SUGGS One Hundred Sixty-one RIDERS IN THE SKY One Sunday afternoon, as my parents, my cousin, and I were out for a ride, we passed an airport which advertised plane rides. One glance at the sign was enough for me. I just had to go up in a plane at that very moment. My cousin and I immediately began to persuade my parents that this desire 0-f ours should be satisfied at once. Getting as close to my father's ear as possible, and using our best shouting voices, we began to give arguments in rapid succession because the longer it took us to persuade them, the further away we would be from the airport. Fearing that their eardrums would be shattered, my parents finally relented. Back we headed for the airportg Mom and Dad with a headache, my cousin and I with soaring spirits. Upon arriving at the airport, we found that the planes giving people rides consisted of two single engines, four seaters. After one look at these, my father vowed that no son of his was going to go soaring like a bird in a flimsy orange crate. Trying to use psychology, but not succeeding, I insisted that the two planes had Hown hundreds of times and surely just because my cousin and I were going up in one didn't mean it was going to fall apart. After a considerable amount of arguing, I finally won my case. After tightening our seat belts, the pilot slowly began to taxi down the' run- way. As the plane picked up speed, my heart beat increased. Faster, faster, the roar of the engine was deafening. Then we were off the ground. Five feet, ten feet, over the to-ps of the trees, and still we climbed. Finally we leveled off. Looking out the window everything was in miniature. The farm lands looked like a giant patchwork quilt with bright colors of green, yellow, and brown. Tractors and other farm implements reminded me of toys left out by some little boy. The highway was a mere ribbon of white with scale model cars strung out along it. What impressed me most was the fact that we were traveling over one hundred miles per hour air speed and yet seemed to be standing still. Slowly the plane banked and made a turn, heading us in the direction of the airport. The ride ended all too- soon. As we made our approach to the runway, the plane was buffeted by a slight wind. My cousin and I en- joyed this and wished it would have happened more often. Suddenly, as we were about ten feet from the ground, I got a strange ringing in my ears. Was this some type of air sickness? Before I had a chance to worry about it, I remembered that this was caused by a difference in air pressure, Once more on the ground, I immediately began to tell my parents about the adventure. I did this so rapidly that they had to slow me down a number of times before what I was saying could be understood. During the following week I told all my friends about the ride at least once, and twice to those who would listen. These unlucky people came to the conclusion that I would never forget my plane ride and probably would never let them forget it. DENNIS OTTOLINI One Hundred Sixty-two MY TRIP TO THE SOUTH Last summer I went to Winchester, Tennessee, which is about sixty miles south of Nashville. I made the trip with my family and my grand parents. As we drove south through Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee, I was fascinated by the scenery. Kentucky Lake, the famed blue-grass, and the fields of tobacco were all very beautiful. After driving for ten hours, we arrived at my Aunt's house. During the following week we went fishing at a resort located at Pate's Ford Landing on Kentucky Lake, one of the largest man-made lakes in the World, it has been formed by the backing up of water behind the Kentucky dam. Although we didn't catch many lish, we had a lot of fun in trying our skill. The lake was a deep blue and the mountains were different shades of green. In the early morning the view from the resort looked like a beauti- ful picture. With sincere regrets, we left the resort and returned to my Aunt's house. One evening we went fishing in a small river not far from her home. We had better luck than we had at the lake. For the most part, during the hot weather, fish in a river will bite better than those in a lake. . The latter part of the week, we drove over the Smoky Mountains to Chattanooga, which has a very interesting place in Civil War history. In this vicinity were fought some of the bloodiest battles of the War between the States, notably the battles of Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga, and Mission- ary Ridge. Many of the trees on Lookout Mountain still have shrapnel and scars in them. It was from Chattanooga that Sherman began his march to the sea. I rode on the incline, one of the steepest incline railways in the world, which starts in Chattanooga and goes to the top of Lookout Mofuntain. From that point I had a view of Moccasin Bend in the Tennessee River. From Obversation Point on the top of Lookout Mountain in Rock City Gardens, I could see into seven states. My visit to Chattanooga was one of the high- lights of the trip. After spending a few more days with my Aunt, we left for St. Louis. I enjoyed my trip to the South to the utmost. I hope that some day I shall be able to visit the South again. EDWARD LONG One Hundred Sixty-Ihree MIN IWAN CA MEMORIES This summer I enjoyed the unforgetable experience of spending two weeks at Camp Miniwanca, which is located on Lake Michigan near Shelby, Michigan. There were five Rooseveltians at Camp this year, three girls and two boys. The girls' camp was held during the first two weeks of August: the boys' camp followed. I discovered the first day that this camp is run like no other. The first thing that impressed me was the efficient way in which the staff registered and assigned quarters to over six hundred boys. Within a few hours every boy had a bed. All boys were in one of the five tribes. During the two weeks the tribes found themselves in a race for first place, which was based on tribal games, tribal spirit, inspection, and other facets of the daily life. Our day began at six-thirty with exercises on the beach and an early morning dip in Lake Michigan. The swim so-unds delightful, but that water can be very cold at that hour of the morning! After this eye-o-pener we found ourselves heading for the dining hall. It was here our day really began, with devotions, a morning hymn, and a brief speech by o-ur leader. After this we began our morning stretch of classes, three in all, but classes such as we had never experienced before. They were held in lovely log cabins, set on the wooded hillsides, with sunlight streaming through the windows. The teachers, all men of great experience, were interesting and highly informative. These classes passed quickly enough, and we soon found ourselves again headed for the dining hall. The afternoon was filled with the fun classes. There was a wide variety of courses covering everything from sailing to oil painting. The sail- ing class met on a nearby lake where the camp kept six small sailboats. The various classes were organized to give campers a chance to try a hobby or sport in which they had not participated previously. After these classes came the inter-tribal games of volleyball and softball. Playing softball Miniwanca style Cin sand up to your ankleslb is different and often very amusing. After this exercise came one of the most enjoyable periods of the day -the afternoon swim. The lake had warmed up by now, and the breakers seemed to call everyone in the camp. Few boys missed this period which al- ways ended too soon, but dinner was next on the agenda so we felt somewhat compensated. After dinner we had nightly activities, which ranged from a riotous square dance, with half the boys dressed as girls, to a wild Saturday night rodeo, Obviously by 'flights-out we were dead tired: no one found it diffi- cult to fall sound asleep immediately. With this full schedule of activities we found our days at camp quickly passing and soon our two weeks were over. But the impression Camp Mini- wanca leaves does not pass so quickly. We found ourselves traveling home wiser, older, and with new friends from all over the country, all over the world, in fact! All of us hope to return next year for, as a camp song says, 'fYou belong to Miniwanca, and Miniwanca belongs to you! ROLAND KLEIN One Hundred Sixty-four MISSOURI GIRLS' STATE The 1955 Girls' State session was held on the William Woods campus at Fulton, Missouri. The three girls representing Roosevelt High School were Pat Schiener, Betty Lou Frease, and Selma McCrary. The American Legion paid all of our expenses. We reached William Woods Sunday, June 19, and were immediately assigned to dormitories that almost made us feel at home. Since we had only one week, we organized into cities and counties upon registration. There- were three counties, each had three cities. At registration each girl was assigned to one of two parties, the Federalists or the Nationalists. Each city had a co-unselor who acted as a staff member to tell us what was expected of us. Every girl had to attend one class in the morning. She could enroll in either political science, law, peace officer, o-r state patrol, and be instructed for one hour by an excellent instructor. The afternoon class also lasted one hour, a girl could choose journalism, music, or parliamentary law. The girls selected their subjects according to the type of office they hoped to hold at Girls' State. The session was run on a basis resembling city, county, and state gov- ernment as closely as possible. A law-breaker was arrested and tried: the fine or the penalty was based on the seriousness of the offense. Girls. served as judges, lawyers, and peace officers. With all our classes and assemblies, one would think there was little time for recreation, but in the afternoons we usually had time for swimming, tennis, baseball, volleyball, or just loafing in the canteen. Some girls spent most of their free time in campaigning for o-ffices. We shall all remember what we learned about our government and also the wonderful friends we made in that memorable week, for every girl that at- tends Girls' State makes many new friends. The purpose of Girls' State is to provide training in citizenship and to learn about our duties privileges, rights, and responsibilities in order to under- stand and participate in the functioning of our go-vernment better. Girls' State is one experience I shall never forget and I shall never be able to express my deep gratitude to the American Legion. OFFICIAL GIRLS' STATE SONG CMelody-The Missouri Waltzj Girls' State in Missouri is a jolly jambo-uree, Girls from North, South, East and West make merry company, We hail from big cities, small towns, and the country Girl Staters are we, full of pep as can be.

SELMA IVICCRARY One Hundred Sixty-five MY FIRST HORSE BACK RIDE The great moment had arrived: I was going horseback riding, I had, of course, been on a few horses before, but they had all been of the merry-go- round variety. I was visiting a friend of mine whose father owned property at a lake near' DeSoto, when the opportunity arose. It was too cold at night to go swimming, and since I couldn't see very well, it was dangerous to take the boat out on the lake, there was nothing left to do but go horseback riding. We found three other boys to go along and then started out to secure five horses. This presented somewhat cf a problem as none of us owned anything that looked like a horse. Luckily, out of the one hundred and fifty people living on the lake, about fifteen owned horses. It would have been an easy matter to borrow the horses from them, but they also had children who would want to tag along with us, and we didn't want them. It was much simpler to obtain permission from the watchman at the lake to use horses that night, providing no one saw us. We now had the horses, but no saddles, and the only people who owned any saddles also owned the horses we were going to ride. We asked for' them anyway, and they were given to us with no inquiry as to why we wanted them. It was about this time I began to feel something like a horse thief, but when I fo-und that this sort of thing was done all the time, I felt better. By ten o'clock, the horses were saddled and we were on our way. Since this was my first attempt at riding a horse, there were many suggestions giv- en to meg most cf them contradicting each other. There were a few points, however, which they did agree on, these were: the horse I was riding would do three things, walk, trot, and gallop: and I must stay on the horse. They told me to make the horse walk, simply nudge him lightly in the sides, to speed him to a trot, nudge him a little harder, and to make him gallop, kick him hard, really hard. ' The horse I was on was white, named Silver, and bigger' than the other four, but I was assured he was the most gentle. I later discovered that he was also the most headstrong. My friends told me he had won a few blue ribbons at a fair in his earlier years, but by the appearance of Silver now I would judge it was the World's Fair of 1904. I mounted him and nudged him as I was told. He began to walk: I nudged him a little harder and he broke into a trot. This riding was bad, it reminded me somewhat of the times I was bounced on Dad's knee about sixteen years ago, only this wasnlt Dad and that saddle was a lot harder than Dad's keee ever was. I didn't particulary like this trot, so I gave him a good dig which turned out to be a mistake. Silver took off like a shot, and the only way I could stay on was to hold to the saddle horn, and lean back, Half a mile, and five hundred bounces later, Silver stopped, and after satisfying myself that there were no broken bones, we con- tinued our' ride until two in the morning. Needless to say, it was very uncom- fortable driving home the next day.

My goodness, what in the world, a sabre jet? He rounds the corner, goes to his seat, and sits down. Guess what, a dear little Nu-jay. He loo-ked at me, four minutes to spare! He sighs with relief and thinks, HI made it this timer. He takes his books and starts to study. The next fastest thing, of course, is an airplane. I bet you know whom I'm talking about: the Sophomore, you guessed it. The Sophomore comes in, sits down, but doesn't put his head into a book: he begins to talk. He talks until the bell rings or until he sees the teacher: then he is a perfect angel. The Junior passes by me like a 1941 automobile. He sharpens his pencil, sits down, and what does he do? He takes out a package of gum. He chews all but one piece. Then I am entertained by a band, but the wrong kind. This one is played by chewing gum and sounds like this, pop-crack-pop-crack, and so on. The important person, the Senior, comes into the study hall like a worn- out car. As he sits down, the bell rings. He then puts his thoughts on his studies. He pulls out the latest adventure .of Hopalong Cassidy. Sol it is that I see the study hall looks as I sit on the wall, ticking away. I am always glad when night comes so I may catch up on my rest. BEVERLY CARROLL DO YOU HAVE SCHOOL SPIRIT? Do you have school spirit? Do you buy tickets to the football and bas- ketball games? Do you support your team by going out and cheering them on to victory? Why doesn't everyone come to the games? Some say they have to work: others, that they can't afford to buy tickets: and some just don't want to attend because of some flimsy excuse. Your team will never win if you don't have enough confidence in it to come out and cheer. The cheer'-leaders are always there, leading cheers and screaming their lungs out. Why don't you come and help cheer? ' Dances are another way you can help. All the profits are used for some- thing fo-r the school. Some sayl the dances are boring, and they do-n't have any fun. If you go with the right attitude, you can have fun. You are going to be in high school for only four years of your life. Most of you will go and get jobs. Some will go to college. But whatever you do later in life, remember that at the present you are wanted to attend football, basketball, and all other games, dances, and everything else that makes for a happy school life. BARBARA DRECHSEL. One Hundred Sixty-eight MY GARDEN Did you ever have a garden? If you did, you will understand and sympa- thize with my predicament. Last year I, was going to have a beautiful garden. I made careful preparations by going to the store and getting information on the vegetables I was going to raise. I then got the best seeds obtainable in the store. I followed the directions in my books in preparing my garden plot. I even planted the seeds according to all the old superstitio-ns, such as plant- ing the potatoes in the dark of the moon. Now if you don't think that job wasn't hard, you should try it some time. It was so dark that I got them in upside-down, and you can just imagine seeing them come up bottom end first! As the days passed, I became anxious for my garden to appear. I had put so much work into it, and I wasn't going to let anyone tease me about my gardening failure, I thought. I watched and I watched and I watched, and finally about four weeks later, tiny green shoots began coming up. I was so excited I told everyone on the block. Very industriously I began hopeing, watering, and sp-raying, and believe it or not, I had results! It seemed every- thing simply shot up over night. It was beautiful! But- Near the end of the summer everyone else began harvesting his garden products and again I became anxious. This time I had good reason, for when I tried to pull carrots or radishqes all I got was a handful of green leaves. I was so dejected that I believe I shall never have another garden, for I had a garden of beautiful weeds. IVIARTHA IVIUNZERT THE BEAUTY OF WEEDS Weeds, as defined in the dictionary, are an unsightly or troublesome, useless plant-but are we? Of course not. We're just as good as the rose or tulip or daisy. Oh! I forgot-let me introduce myself. I'm Wanda Weed. I live at 3429b Humphrey. CB for backyardj I moved here several years ago when I heard the owners didn't care. Now I have quite a family which has grown to such an extent that we have been forced to separate and move to surrounding yards. You know, the life of a weed is a very dangerous life. .Iust yesterday Willie choked a rose bush and was immediately caught and sent up Cto the ash canj. We have to be very careful where we go and. what we do. For instance, right now the owner of the house next door is pulling my brother up by the roots because he killed his favorite petunia plant. You know, I think people don't understand the value of us weeds. We do a wonderful job of iilling up the yard with foliage. We're very time saving: we'll grow without any help from the owner of the yard. We're nice to have, for when the children comer down to p-lay in the yard, they can pick on us instead of on the prize roses. All in all, we're not too bad to have around. Please think of me the next time you go into your backyard, because no matter how many times you pull one of us up, the chances are that a brother or sister of mine will be there in my place in a week or so. NANCY WEDEL One Hundred Sixty-nine ACCIDEN TS 'ASomething that happens unexpectedly, or is done unintentionally: usually a mishap, ist the way Webster defines an accident. People who drive automo- biles know differently, An accident, according to drivers, covers everything from carelessness to drunken driving. A large part of our accidents could be prevented. Would you say it's' necessary to pass a car on a hill, on a curve, or at an intersection? Of course, you'll say, A'No . Then why is it done day after day? A person who does such a careless act may be in a hurry to reach his destination, or is late for work. As the old saying goes, 'ilt's better to be late, than never, You will probably hear many people mutter, I never had a serious acci- dent. Maybe a dented fender, or scraped paint, but nothing serious. Most people will call such a person lucky. He should consider himself more than lucky. What if the circumstances were changed just slightly? Instead of travel- ing twenty-five miles an hour, he was traveling thirty-five miles an hour. Would he have time to stop? Could he have avoided the car in front of him, or one pulling out along side of him? A major accident could have come out of it. People might be seriously injured, or perhaps killed, Every day papers are filled with articles dealing with car accidents: people are killed by the thou- sands in the United States alone. You can't blame the car for the accident. The car is in your command. It does exactly what you tell it to do, With all the power brakes, power stirring, and safety devices, surely accidents could, and should, be avoided. Remember, the life you save may be someone else's: a life which may be far more important than your own, yet who doesn't value his own life?

One Hundred Seventy One Hundred Seventy-one DAYDREAMIN G I wonder how many students have ever allowed themselves to sit back, away from the rest of the crowd, and just enjoy the movement around them. This morning while rushing here and there about school, a strange peace came over me. I suddenly realized how perfectly happy my days are. I had never thought of school as particularly enjoyable before, but now I realized that for many years it had been immensely interesting. Now I am sitting in the Bwana oflice. It is snowing outside, large puffy flakes which are lightly carried here and there by the wind. There is an air of expectancy throughout the school, for' this is the first snow of the year and everyone looks forward to pleasant rompings after dismissal. How peaceful it is just sitting here and watching the snow fly! Outside it must be bitterly cold, and traflic seems to be getting snarled already. People are being buf- feted about by the wind and having a dreadful time of it, yet here inside I feel safe and warm. I can hear the teacher in the room next door speaking about Odysseus, and she is occasionally answered by the dull murmur of a pupil. From far below comes the tantalizing fragrance of freshly-baked bread in the lunch- room, for the lunch period is coming very soo-n. The voices of teachers in other rooms, each carrying on her own business comes in a subdued fashion from a distance. The footsteps of a lone pupil hurrying down the hall rever- berate through the building. I-Iow peaceful and orderly everything is! Yet in a few minutes the bell will ring, and pandemonium will reign for five minutes. Then, 'with the ringing of the bell, peace will again be restored. Sometimes when you feel in the mood, allo-w yourself to withdraw and feel the calm and serenity of the school day during class time. I hope you enjoy yourselves, I know I do! ROLAND KLEIN THE EMPTY HOUSE Once these walls knew warmth and gaiety. These floors felt the platter of children's feet, these ceilings, the echo of voices, and these rooms, the joy of family love. This house has seen children born, grow, marry, and leave home. It has seen generations co-me and go. It has shared with its families their happiness, their sorrows, and all their problems of life, This house has felt the cold and wind of many winters and the heat and dust of many summers. This house with its once friendly, warm ap- pearance has known many joyous years of being lived in. Now it has been abandoned. These once noisy rooms are now filled with a long silence. Even the flowers and grass in the yard have died away. It has been emp-tied completely of its furnishings, its people and the joys it once shared with its people, all have left the empty house to its loneliness. ROSEMARY FEEMSTER One Hundred Seventy-two FREEDOM OF SPEECH One of the most difficult problems under a democratic government is the extent to which freedom of speech can go. Free speech means that unpopular facts and ideas have full opportunity to be expressed. Witholut free speech the citizens of a democracy cannot learn the things they need to know in order to cast intelligent votes. Sometimes, however, situations arise in which a pas- sionate speech can lead to voting or bloodshed. The enemies of the country may use this method of propaganda. All democracies favor freedom of speech, but democracies as well as other countries must place some limits upon this freedom: personal libels, defamation of character, and language offensive to decency are prohibited by laws in our various states. Newspapers may be sued for damages if they publish libelous matter. It is unwise to say a government should have no control over what is said or printed. The government realizes' that free speech is a safety value by which the grievances of persons and groups may be set forth. These same grievances, forbidden to be heard, might, in an extreme case, lead to the over- throw of the government. On the other hand, if a government is allowed to exercise this kind of control, it may use that power to shut off criticism of its own policy and thus maintain itself in office. Democratic countries generally prefer to face the real danger of making speech and the press almost completely free. People who value this privilege should counteract anything that might interfere with our enjoyment of it. Jo ANN MAPLES . ksisi CRITICISM Have you ever been reproved for so-mething you may or may not have done, or are you the type of person who is always criticizing someone else? Most of us have at some time been criticized either justly or unjustly. When you are corrected for something that you did wrong, how do- you react? Does your temper flare up-, or do you take the admonition and say to yourself that you will try to do better? Some people just laugh and don't do anything about the matter. Others become angry, but anger doesn't help the situation because when we lose our temper, we are more- ap-t to say things that under normal circumstances. we would no-t mention. Still others take the criticism in a calm manner, think over the reproof, and do something about it if the criticism is worthwhile. Now let's talk about the perso-n who is doing the criticizing. Are you that type of person? If you are, do you criticize just to be doing so, o-r do you give friendly, helpful aid? Some people correct others because they get the feeling of being superior, such persons would probably do more good by considering their 0-wn faults and letting others alone. FRANCES LAUMANN One Hundred Seventy-three ON BEING VERY LARGE Being a bit above average in height can, at times, be very embarras- sing and quite a handicap. I am constantly finding things just are not made large enough. Yet I am not so very tall. I measure from the biggest bump on my head to the largest callous on my foot a mere five feet, nineteen inches. That doesn't sound like much, does it? Yet, I am forever adding more bumps to my head because of low doorways. The Cso-calledj big new cars are not really very big at all. It seems that everytime I move my foot from the brake to the gas Cusually at a chang- ing stop lightj my knee knocks the car out of gear and a thunderous roar of horsepower and no movement Qvery embarrassingj ensue I think I shall never have much to do with M. G.'s or Jaguars. I don't mind streetcarsg however, buses are terrible. I just hate telling old ladies I can't give them my seat because' I can't begin to stand up' in a tiny bus. I do not intend to go to the doctor to get my neck straightened out again. Bathtubs are not so bad. I can usually get both my feet in at the same time. Come to think of it, I believe I have never found a store with a size iifteen shoe on hand. I never worry about sizes when buying clothesg no need to do so-. I just ask for the largest, which is usually too small. Even on the basketball court I Hnd I have disadvantages. One little guard or another is always trying to make passes between my legs, if not dribbling on through with the ball himself. My friends are always the first ones to say,A'Hello, in the school hallways, they always seem to notice me first. I guess I just show up easily. When asked why I never notice them, all I can say is that everyone's head seems to look about the same from the top. I do come in handy for scme things. Trimming trees I find very easy: painting ceilings is even easier. However, a pushover job is washing car tops. I give you one guess as to who is called on to kill the flies that land on the ceiling at our home. No, you are wrong! My little brother is. very handy with a slingshot. There is a tall tale about a tall fellow down in the Ozark Hills who never uses a gun when squirrel hunting. He just runs along, snatching them out of the tree tops. I just recently found out something interesting. I hap- pen to be the tallest fellow to do any squirrel hunting around those parts. Really, though, I haven't been able to get many without a gun! CHARLES MARLEN One Hundred Seventy-four GETTING UP IN THE MORNING There are several methods of getting up in the morning, but I don't use any of these. You see, I have a dog. My idea of getting up in the morning would be to awaken to soft music, followed by my maid's bringing my break- fast to me in bed, along with the morning paper. After a hearty breakfast, my valet would have my bath water just right for me to jump into, Follow- ing my leisurely bath, I would stroll back to my bedroom to Hnd all of my clothes laid out for me. Getting up in the mornings by this method would be a chore, but it would be better than the way I do get up every morning. But I wake up every morning with a co-ld, wet nose pressed against my face. I have tried to fight the no-se, but so far my attempts have been futile. At nrst, I just would lie there, but then the dog would start licking my face. I dislike this routine even more than the wet nose act. I tried putting my head under the covers and curling up in a ball. I can only say that it is al- most impossible to go back to sleep with a dog clawing me in the back and barking at regular intervals. After jumping out of bed to the ice-cold floor, I look for my clothes. Moist of the time I cannot ind the clothes I want and usually I have a case' o-f al- mo-st frost-bitten feet. Don't misunderstand me, the floor is really not cold: it's just that I think so. Once I spilled some water on the floor before I went to bed, and the next morning I slipped on the ice which had formed during the night. Our heating system is not too good, but it's rather hard to con- vince the board of deacons. They should have the privilege of walking on it every morning. I once had house slippers, but my dog decided that she needed the house slippers worse than I. She just took them and chewed them up. By the time I am ready to tie my shoes, the dog is back upstairs. If you have ever had a dog try to help you tie your shoes, you know what I mean. If I am lucky enough to get down the stairs without falling part of the way down, I then face a great problem. I don't want you to think I have been drinking, or that I am too clumsy to walk down the steps, but again it is my dog who does not think I get down the steps fast enough. She always helps me down, The problem I face each morning is whether or not I should risk catching cold and go out on the front porch to get the morn- ing paper. I said porch, but I guess I should have said front lawn. The paper boys in my neighborhood do not have a very good aim, so I usually have to hunt for the newspaper in the bushes in the yard. If'I still cannot ind it, it is always a good idea to look on the roof of the porch. Myg dog used to go out and get the paper for me, but one day she brought it back, then ran out to tour the world. After an hour of chasing her up and down the block, I finally caught her and brought her home, You can see why she is no longer used in this capacity. This routine has usually kept me away from my breakfast so long that it is cold. I have to get up in the morning however, and I am not always glad. GoRDoN GooDIER One Hundred Seventy-five THE CITY This is the city, with all its hurry, noise, and excitement: from its tall skyscrapers and lavish night clubs, to- its squatting huts along the river and its cheap resorts, the city With all its heartbreak, sorrow, joys and laughter: a place where fortunes are made and lost overnight, where characters: are formed and ruined, where people live and die. This is the city, full of activity, from the rising of the sun when early birds start to twitter, till late at night when the night owls are wandering home. As I walk down the street I hear many sounds, some enchanting, some hauntingg a baby's cry, talking, all sorts of noises. From a high window a soft strain fioats down into the street and mixes with the noise of the passing automobiles. Take any part of the city, the slums, the better neighborhood, and the blocks of the average laborers. Take the city as a whole. Everywhere I go I see people, all different types of races, religions, and beliefs. I pass a cathe- dral, a temple, a synagogue, a church. I hear foreign tongues: I pass the corner news stand and see papers printed in strange-looking languages that I never dreamed existed. We in the city learn to live together nOit as a particular race or group, but as neighbors and brothers-all so different, but, all so alike, all Americans, all free, all living in a country where we need not worry about physical appearance or beliefs. We know we are not perfect by any means, far from it. Naturally there are often arguments over many subjects, but where we are different is in the way in which we settle our quarrels. We think and talk them out sensibly as good Americans should. Instead of having a cold war, we reach a compro- mise. Of course, we always have our problems, but, all in all, we do pretty well. There is always room for improvement, but we are trying and trying hard . i Yes, this is the city in all its drabness, its beauty, its ugliness, its grandeur. This is a great American city, our city.
