MISS MARY LAXVLESS 1902 - 1957 She was a quick-witted, generous-minded person - never known to speak an unkind word of anyone. A skilled teacher, her standards were high: her guidance, friendly and wise. Mary Lawless liked to do things with her hands. She could take apart a machine and put it together again: she had a hand, actually. in the building of her new home, a few years before her death. We salute a great spirit whose brightness shines in our memories.

We hope that you will enjoy it, for each one has done his part to try to make it the very best possible. Along with a zealous staff, the book was compiled under the guidance of Miss M, Burke and Miss M. Carroll. Our hats are off to them for their most necessary and patient aid. The staff made up Bwana by writing personal essays, recording a calendar, reporting on sports activities, and designing panels. The book itself is a last- ing record of the organizations, dances, and sports that you students participated in, along with pictures of friends and classmates. ln paging through and reading Bwana, we hope that you experience the same pleasant satisfaction that we enjoyed while composing it.

Il ' a ui I, i M, UAV ROUGH RIDER STAFF The primary function of the school paper is to serve as the eyes of the reader - to reflect the activities of the school. Through its columns the Rough Rider serves as an instrument of education, a promoter of community spirit. and an entertainer of the student readers. Our school paper' also fights any harmful influence which might make its way into our student body. The Rough Rider Staff brings the news to its readers once a week. Roosevelt has reason to be proud of this fact, for we are one of just a few high school papers across the country to publish a weekly. The paper reports the happenings connected with the school through news, sports, and feature articles. Since it is an honor for any student to serve on his school paper, Rough Rider reporters have a high standing at Roosevelt. Hou. Ninety-one A CAPPELLA CHOIR Moderator: Miss Birdie E.

Foremost among these benefits is the opportunity to find a satisfying career. You can become identified with one of the newer frontiers in our national life. What other great area of service has so many interesting facets that need explo-ration, whether in merchandising practices, human relations, public rela- tions or in demonstrating practical business responsibility for public service? In distribution one serves the community, the state, and the nation. Young people in this course come to realize that they are an integral part of our vast economic establishment. No great power can remain a great power unless it is supported by a strong economy and a happy people. We in Distributive Educa- tion believe this firmly. .yif X if . .

Roosevelt's coaches have done this, year after year. We introduce here the energetic men who keep' Roosvelt High School in front, in schoo-1 sports. There is. Mr. Marx, Athletic Director, a supersalesman who sells tickets to all sports events and pays all bills. Mr. LeFort, our new head coach, who with the assistance of Mr. Rogers, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Ana- stasoff, is going to bring Roosevelt another football trophy. Mr. Anastasoff, an alumnus of ours, joined the staff this year. Mr'. Rogers also coaches the basketball A team. Mr. Lake, the baseball coach, has charge of the basketball B team. Mr. Wilde, who directed dramatics last year, coaches the tennis team. Mr. Otto, the track coach, has a champio-n swimming team, and trains the cross country team.

The team won 5 games and lost IZ. The team was badly hampered this year by lack of experience, since most of the players were juniors just brought up from the B team. However the skill and spirit they displayed during their first year on the varsity squad speaks well for the team's chances of victory next year. The Rough Riders participated in two tournaments this season, liven though the team lost out in the first round of the state tournament, their spirit and good sportsmanship more than made up for the loss to Southwest. Roosevelt also had the misfortune to lose the first game in the Hadley Christmas tourna- ment to a very dexterous quintet from Sumner, The team's scoring was led this year by Don Lottman, Captain Roger Scott, William Schmidt, and l.loyd Dobbs, These boys did a remarkable job as did the rest of the team in their scoring efforts, considering the superior skill of the teams in the Public League. The overall height of the team was some- what less than that of the majority of the teams they faced. Several of the key players lost to the squad by graduation are Rich Bailey and Tom Wooids, both January graduates. Captain Roger Scott and Bob Jackson leave the team in June. Coach Rogers faces next season optimistically since most of the fellows have now had at least a year of varsity experience which will greatly help the team's One Hundred 'lSLL't'f7lLl'l1L't' chances of running up an imp-ressive record next year The scores of the games played are as follows: 35 Roosevelt ....,.............,.....

Considering that the team con- sisted mostly of boys playing varsity for the first time this year, we may well feel proud of them. Our able coach, Mr. Irl Lake, did a tremendous job with the boys and has great hopes for next year's team, which will have many veteran players of this season. The fourteen boys receiving letters for their efforts this season are: Bob Baybo Jim Bowden Lloyd Dobbs Don Doebber Richard Huber One Hundred Twenty-six Perry Jones Ken Kirsch Robert Lee Don Lottman Jim O'Reilly Jim Pickett Bill Schmidt Roger Scott Jim Shardy The scores for the games played line up like this: Roosevelt A A ,..,..l A AA Roosevelt A A Roosevelt Roosevelt Roosevelt Roosevelt A A Roosevelt A A Roosevelt A A Roosevelt A Roosevelt A A Roosevelt Roosevelt ..,.

MARY ELLEN HovEY JUDY QUEENSEN One Hundred Twcnly- sm L 4 n SPRING SPORTS CORONATION Friday morning, May 24, 1957, was proclaimed color day in honor of the thirty-third Annual Track Coronation, and the students entering the Aud presented a gay picture of red and white. The stage was decked with red and white streamers and a red backdrop. Above the throne was a large white silhouette of a track man, depicting spring sports. The aud began as Mr. Walther Lorenzen introduced the retiring queen, Miss Judy Dodd, who was then seated on the throne. At Mr. Rapini's signal, the band began to play, and tension mounted. The first lovely maid to- be announced was Miss Sherrie Holland, who wore a white lace dress over taffeta with blue ribbon trim. She was met at the foot of the stage by John Leara. Miss Pat Belcher, the second maid, appeared in a lovely white pleated chiffon dress. Bob Lee escorted her to her place beside the throne. Mr. Lorenzen's voice called the third maid to the Queen's court, Miss Sharon Uehle, who wore a dress of white crystaline. She was met by Don Meyers. Miss Carolann Skrob, the next maid, wore a white chiffon dress with a red cumberbund. Bob Piles was Carolann's escort. Excitement and anticipation reached a peak as the audience waited for the next maid, who was Miss Sandy Schmidt. Her escort was Don Lauer. She wore a white organdy dress with red velvet trim. Then Mr. Lorenzen announced the new 1957 Spring Sports Queen, Miss Janet Schlogl, to great applause. She wore a white crystaline dress and the insignia of her new office as queen - the regal cape of red satin. She was escorted to the throne by Mayor Sam Scott, where she made a graceful bow to retiring Queen Judy. The crown was placed on her head, and the applause grew thunderous.

Mother Nature dealt the cindermen a foul blow by caus- ing most of the dual meets, to be cancelled because o-f adverse weather. Roosevelt participated in four' dual meets, winning one and losing three: the St. Louis District Meet, the Maplewood Relays, the St. Louis Public High Relay Carnival, and the annual St. Louis Public League Field and Track Day ITICQI.

The spirit these boys displayed is something to be proud of. Coach Otto and the schoo-l greatly appreciate the job they did in representing Roosevelt. DAVID RIPPY. VARSITY VS. ALUMNI On December 6, 1957, Roosevelt made history when the Varsity basket- ball team challenged the Alumni to a basketball duel. The Alumni team, chosen from the basketball teams at Roosevelt as far back as five years, had a string of players for each of the five years represented. The Alumnae cheerleaders were also taken from the squads of the five years preceding. Some of them are married but with enough life to yell and cheer. The Varsity team of Roosevelt was made up of four healthy vibrant seniors and six fast, energetic juniors. This was their first game of the season and they were rearin' to go. Also the varsity cheerleaders were full of pep and anticipating a victory. The spectators were made up entirely of familiar faces, and red and white predominated the aud. The Alumni were well represented by mayors, queens, and classmates from other years at R.H.S. The excitement of seeing old friends and classmates intensified the atmosphere before the game. Finally at 8:00 p.m. sharp, the game started. The players and cheerleaders of both the Varsity and Alumni teams were introduced. All during the first two quarters, the score remained close. When one Alumni team tired, a whole new one was put in, but the Varsity played on. Finally toward the fourth quarter, the tenseness of the two teams let up, and scores showed greater dif- ference. At the end of the game, the score was 60-51, in favor of the Alumni. Tired and not as energetic, the teams retired while the cheerleaders of both Varsity and Alumni did YeahI Roosevelt! Wolw, it was quite an evening. ANITA MAGAFAS One Hundred Thirty-one CROSS COUNTRY The closing of the Cross-Country season occurred November 18, when the team took tenth place among thirty-two contestants in the state meet. Coach Otto, who is coach of the team, never gave up hope that our boys would win. and it is probably because most of the top runners were ill during the latter' part of the season that we were not in first place, The two co-captains of this year's team were Ron Koeb and Harry Miller. They did a mightly fine job too. We had four seniors on this year's team. They were: Ron Koeb, Harry Miller, Don Lucy, and Ron Manasco. Next year Roosevelt's Cross-Country team will have four returning lettermen: Al Preusser, Rich Engelman, Jerry Pippin. and Ray Diedericken. We know these boys will carry on the fine work that the seniors did this year. Did you know that there is a varsity and a B team for Cross Country? Well, there is. B team consists of boys, terms one through four, who run in special races with other B team boys but who also run in the varsity races. This year there was only one HB team meet. Roosevelt finished seventh of the seven schools entered.

The tension and excitement were so great, the air literally sparked with electricity. The high spirits and gay mood were catching. This was the last Roosevelt football game of the season. Everyone was out to win this game from Sumner, and they showed it. The colors, red and white, stood out - red skirts, slacks, blouses, and sweaters filled with bounding spirits. Shakers, leis, and beanies trembled with excitement. Suddenly everyone, as one person, stood up and waved his arms crazily above his head. A great hissing sound filled Roosevelt Field, and the goal posts shook with the boom that followed. The game was under way. Soon, too soon, these high hopes were shattered as a Sumner player scored a touchdown. A touchdown during the first three minutes of play! Everybody stood stunned while the south stands were a mob of yelling people. The shocked Roosevelt fans picked up their almost shattered hopes and began a threatening chant. Block that kick, hey, block that kick. The kick was good, but there was still time. The second quarter proved to be an impro-vement. We made two touchdowns. At the end of the half the score was 13-7, in our favor. The third quarter ended scoreless. Then came the last twelve minutes and the most tedious for the fans. A third Roosevelt touchdown was run. Amid the cheer- ing, however, was heard a long low grumble. We were trying a field goal from the sixteen-yard line. Success seemed improbable. But, the crescendo roar from our cheering section showed this to be three more points for us. Sumner scored one more touchdown, and then the gun sounded. It was all over. We had won, 23-13. The victors surged from the stands offering congratulations and clapping each other o-n the back. JEANETTE RAUH One Hundred Thirty-three War' GR 1- an 3 X ' 3: THE SWIMMING TEAM State Co-Champs! This is the honor the Roosevelt Swim Team received for 1956-57 under the supervision of Coach Otto.

One Hundred Thirty-five 2 TENNIS With a new coach, Mr. Wallace Vkfilde, only two returning lettermen and just two days of practice, the Roosevelt Racquet Squad met Central and won our first match, 4 games to l. The year was a good one even though it do-esn't look outstanding, but for those who participated it was a very profitable year. There is also a bright future ahead for tennis as many lower termers turned out. With more practice and with growth, these boys may again give Roosevelt a championship team. The members of this year's squad are: Don Lo-ttmann, Ray Ackermann, Ed C1ausch, Bob Reiter, Greg Laumann, Rich Rassfeld, and Bob Kuhlmann. Larry Bardelmeir, Dave Ewers, and Paul I-Ieiden are the alternates.

Siiify Um' Humizmf l 1!'1 U-fuuz' YOU'RE DRAGGIN' DRAGON When you hear the expression, Drag me daddy-o, what is your first impression? Do not worry. The days of the cave man have not returned: men have not taken to grabbing their female companions by the hair and dragging them along. No, this has a much more interesting and sometimes sinister connotation. That is, simply, if your bucket-o-bolts can take my bomb, I'm a I-Ioun' Dog, man! You might ask, if you are uninformed, what this thing, drag, is. Well, if used in the above manner, it usually means an invitation to pit the abilities of one car against that o-f another. So, there you are. On the other hand, if someone says, You're a drag, buddy, it might be best to vacate the premises. However, do not feel left out if some lout has the nerve to make such a crude statement. The solution to your problem is simple: find someone else to tell your troubles to. But, I digress. To return to the subject at hand, Mr. Web- ster, in his excellent dictionary, states that to drag, is, To draw slowly or heavily, especially along the ground or other surface. If this were true, I would like to see the aforesaid gentleman cross one of the streets near school at 3:15 P.M. when the po-licemen, who are usually hanging around, happen to be else- where. You see, I disagree with Mr. Webster. Possibly the quoted comparison I have made is inadequate because I took a stated meaning and applied a slight twist. But seriously, as thinking beings, is it not possible that we could give some deliberate consideration to the thought of drags and drag racing. Should drags take place on city streets? Definitely not. The reasons? It is a safe bet that you have heard them before. First, and most important, it endangers human life. Does that mean any- thing? It should. If it doesn't, there may be a serious psychopathic quirk in you. Check up on it. In simple language, it means that the life of a person who steps in front of your uncontrollable vehicle will be quickly snuffed out. Can you blame this on Providence to relieve your conscience? Possibly, but I doubt it. If that person had been a member of yo-ur family, think of the consequences. Would it be enjoyable murdering your mother or your father? In this case the feeling of guilt should be greater because the reaso-n for the slaughter was pride. Where would your ego be after hitting a little old man or lady? Another point frequently mentioned is that there are supervised drag strips near St. Louis. What is the matter with going there if you must race? Is the competition too rough? Possibly. Then where is your pride when you come home after being defeated? That is supposed to be one of the merits of any sport. Someone has to lose. Why not you? Or me? No one likes to lose. It isn't fun. But if you can control yourself and think out the reasons for your loss, you might return soon and be victorious. Well, these are one or two personal views and attempts at witticism by a fellow teenager, not radical, but surely not conservative.

C. and New York City was exciting, enjoyable, worthwhile. Only six of us, all girls, went from Roosevelt. but altogether there were about 200 boys and girls in the tour. The actual tour price is 399.751 I think the average cost to each person was about 3150, in- cluding tour, meals, post cards, stamps, everything. We left Saturday morning. April 27, 1957, at nine o'clock in the morning, and returned home about two o'clock the next Friday afternoon. It was incredible how much we did and saw in that time! It took a whole day on the train to get to Washington, a whole day to get back. We made only one stop, at Cincinnati, where we saw the large mosaic murals in their terminal. We spent three days in Washington and two in New York City. The two cities are both very interesting and . . . very different. Washing- ton in the spring is very green: for its size, a guide told us, it has more trees, parks, lawns, and flowers than any city in the world. It is also very quiet - we hardly ever heard a horn. Cireenery is almost a rarity in New York: it al- ways seemed crowded, even at twelve and one in the morning. We missed the famous cherry blossoms of Washington, but the redbuds and azaleas were a recompense. Luckily, we had beautiful weather all week. We arrived in Washington at eight o'clock Sunday morning, had breakfast at the statio-n, and govt aboard chartered buses. Some attended church services at the Catholic Franciscan Monastery, and others, including me, went to the Protestant Washington Cathedral. The Washington Cathedral, not yet com- pleted, is magnificent in size and decoration. It has seven chapels -- in one of them, everything is in miniature size for children. After church we returned to the sightseeing buses and headed for the Ar- lington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Every hour on the hour, every day of the year, the guard changes. It is a deeply im- pressive ceremony. The perfectly dressed guard, who marched smartly back and forth, never even glancing at the crowds, much less smiling, seemed to me to be suffering from the heat fit must have been 95 degrees in that sunj. Neverthe- less, he seemed proud to be guarding that tomb. On the way out to Mount Vernon, we stopped at a charmingly rustic inn to have lunch. Half an hour later we arrived at Mt. Vernon, George Washing- ton's old estate. It is in nearby Virginia -- the peaceful, meandering Potomac River is right down the hill in front of Washington's home. The view from his front porch is so beautiful and peaceful. You can close your eyes and just pic- ture what the old Southern life was like. Next to his house is a large garden where tall hedges, many tulips, iris, pansies, and other flowers were all in bloom. In one corner of this garden is a very small, octagonal schoolhouse, where the Washington children studied their lessons. Inside the big house, the furnish- ings are as authentic as possible. Upstairs, we knew it was true when someone said, Washington slept here -- the bed was enormous! The old-fashioned kitchen interested me most: I just -:ouldn't imagine myself ever cooking any- thing to eat with those huge kettles and other cumbersome utensils! My sym- One Hundred Fifty-seven We G-g W' ouh X g. 5 Q9 M 'N cf' Z M f' P P iff' Um' llumlzml I-'lily r-1:6223 wang Aiq m Jem, 'QCLYM Ge ttf f4Q3F pathies went to those slaves who worked there all day long - it must have been unbearably hot in the summertime! Our next stop was the Washington Monument, 555 feet high with 898 steps to the top. Ninety per cent of the boys and over half the girls who visit this monument, walk or run to the top - it only took us about twenty minutes. When I reached the tiny roo-m at the top Cmaybe it just seemed tiny because it was so crowdedj, I could see for miles. I remember easily spotting the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial. Then we Went to the hotel, washed, ate, and went to a movie. After walk- ing to see the Capitol lighted up at night, we went back to the hotel Cafter get- ting lostj , and fell asleep Cafter taking a few picturesj . Early Monday mo-rning after breakfast, we boarded our sightseeing buses again. Mac, our driver, took us to the Capitol Building first. It is a very old building, and not so beautiful as so-me of the others, the Supreme Court Build- ing, for instance. We visited the Congressional Library where we saw the Get- tysburg Address and many other papers and letters of famous men. Next stop was the Department of State. Here, seated in the modern audi- torium, we heard a talk about the State Department and our foreign policy. We had lunch in the Department of Commerce Cafeteria. This building, for a long time, was the largest building in Washington, occupying a square city block. No-w, however, the Pentagon is the largest building. Another in- teresting feature of the Commerce Building is its rather large aquarium. After lunch, we went to the Archives Building where we saw the original Declaration of Independence, Constitution. and Bill of Rights. Then we walked over to the Mellon National Gallery of Art, a beautiful Renaissance building. This museum is priceless, because every painting and piece of sculpture in it is an original. I really enjoyed going through the galleries, be- cause I could recognize many works and artists from my Art Appreciation class. After studying about them, seeing the actual works was a decided pleasure. An hour or so later we walked about two blocks to the Smithsonian Insti- tute. A part of this museum, but housed in a separate building, is the Museum of Natural History. Here we saw those gigantic dinosaur bones, Indian exhibits, and stuffed animals - every kind you could think of -- in their natural habi- tats behind glass. One o-ther thing I distinctly remember was the exhibit, How to Shrink Heads. It explained how this is done and showed some beautiful examples. In other parts of the Institute I saw I.,indberg's famous plane, a copy of the Freedom statue that is on top of the Capitol, and many old stage- coaches, fire engines, bicycles, carriages and automo-biles. We were sitting on the grass in front of the Smithsonian Institute, wait- ing for our buses, when a group of five little colored boys came to entertain us by singing rock-and-roll music and beating out rhythm with two pieces of wood. They sang and scrambled for change thrown to them, always looking out for any policemen, for such behavior is against the law in Washington. I must say those boys surely did have rhythm! The buses arrived and took us to the station where we boarded a train New York bound. It was about ten in the evening when we got on the Hudson River Ferry. I will never forget my first glimpse of New York City, the famous Man- One Hundred Fifty-nine hattan skyline at night, all glittering lights in a horseshoe shape, as far as you could see, and there was Miss America herself, holding high her gleaming torch. We arrived at our hotel about ten-thirty and promptly left again to see Times Square, Broadway, all those astonishing signs, 42nd Street, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue. We walked and walked and walked. In one window, a TV commercial was being filmed: several models, including two small chil- dren, were in bathing suits around a plastic swimming pool. At one corner, we saw a group of people looking up, so we looked up too. Not seeing anything special, we asked one man what he was looking at - he didn't seem to know, and then we realized we had fallen for that age-old trick! After a sandwich and a glass of milk at an automat, we decided to call it a day. Tuesday morning we had breakfast at a good Danish cafeteria across the street, then boarded buses to go down to the pier. Off we were for a three-hour cruise around Manhattan Island. The weather was beautiful. We saw Ellis Island, Liberty Island, the Palisades Chigh bluffs on the West side of the Hud- son Riverb, Grant's Tomb, and the United Nations' buildings, not to mention all the famous bridges: Washingto-n, Manhattan, East, and Brooklyn. Several mighty-looking ocean liners were docked, along with the tugs and freighters. Next, some of us went shopping at the famous Macy's and Saks' Depart- ment stores. These sho-pipers' paradises were a real treat for us. Carrying our treasures Cmostly presents for the familyb back to the hotel, we lost our way for a while. About ten in the evening we were in an elevator in the Empire State Build- ing, going up 102 stories, 1250 feet. Remembering our climb in the Washing- ton Monument, only 555 feet, we decided not to walk to the top here! That view from the tallest building in the world was simply breath-taking. It seemed as if I were looking down and seeing the whole sky of stars in many different colors. The next thing we did was to go to a real Italian Pizzeria. Two Italian boys made the pizzas right in the window. It was fascinating to watch! They would throw the dough into the air and catch it o-n their fists. When it was big enough, they put sauce and cheese on it and shoved it into the oven. In a few minutes out it came, piping-hot and crispy-brown. Eight of us split one and everybody had enough! It was rather messy but very delicious. Wednesday morning we arose extra early to- go to the Gary Moore Show. As we were an hour early, we walked around and saw the Prometheus Foun- tain in Rockefeller Center, the Fifth Avenue shops, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. We got back to the hotel just in time to go with the group to the United Nations Tour. The General Assembly Hall is the most beautiful modern build- ing I have ever seen! The striking color combinations and the staircase reserved for VIP CVery Important People - the last person to walk on it was King Saudj impressed me very much. The attractive girls who guide the tours are from all over the world, our guide was a tall, blond Hollander. That afternoon, we took a subway to Battery Park and then a ferry boat to Liberty Island. Once inside the towering statue by Bartholdi, We began climbing the spiral steps. Round and round we went until we began to feel dizzy: then we came to a tiny room fthe crownj where we looked out over the One' Hundred Sixty harbor and toward the Narrows. To us, looking down, the people seemed like ants. Coming back, I learned that subways don't wait for anybody! The door closed before I boarded it, so I had to wait for the next one while my friends went on. That evening I went to the Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center. This vast theatre is painted gold. The Easter Show was playing, featuring the Rockettes, a long line of precision dancers, the best I have ever seen. Thursday morning we were back on the train headed for Washington. We visited the Senate in session and went out to the Jefferson Memorial. Early that evening we went by the Capitol to say goodby, and then boarded a train for home. We were both happy and sad - happy to get home, but sad to leave. We were also slightly tired. There were many things we didn't have time to do, both in Washington and New York City, and many things we'd like to do again. So we all want to go back someday. I hope you get a chance to go, too. Be sure to take along some comfortable shoes and plenty of stamps. You'll be on your own a great deal, and that alone is quite an experience. It's so much fun - I, for one, will never forget my Senior trip. JANET DRISKA MUSIC LESSONS For quite some time I had been thoroughly intrigued by the bass fiddle. The deep, rich, mellow tones that poured forth from the bass fiddle had me under their spell. I decided this was the time for me to attain a certain amount of culture and that the fine art of music would be the best place to begin. I signed up for lessons at school and proceeded to familiarize myself with the instrument. Somehow the deep, melodious tones that poured forth from the bass in the hands of the experienced player, did not seem to want to reveal themselves while I held control over the instrument: instead an agonized groan came forth both from the instrument and the instructor. The instrument proved quite cumbersome: and when I had to transport it any distance, I would wish I had chosen to play the harmonica instead. But I did not give up hope, even though my fingers were cramped from the unaccustomed instrument: my feet were tired from having to stand up to play: and the sounds were far from pleasant. By some miraclel hoped that I might some day attain a certain amount of success. Then one day I was brought into contact with what is known as swing bass playing whereby the instrument is plunked, giving forth a syncopated beat for jazz bands. I decided that this art would be easier. At first I caught my fingers between the strings when trying to plunk them. Then I started to get blisters on my fingers from such afore-mentioned thumpings. However, I felt that my goal had finally been attained when I was allowed to play with a small band at school dances. Such a small, insignificant engagement as this filled my soul with professional pride, tending to make me overlook the sour notes I occasionally hit. Who knows, I may some day improve. DAVID RIPPY. One Hundred Sixty-one INNER THOUGHTS Yipeelll It's Tuesday again. Will the advisory never end? That clock ticks away and never seems to move. There! Only one more minute to go. Well, I guess I had better close my books and get ready to make a dash out to my locker. R-i-i-n-ngg. Well, finally. Good-bye Jackie, Jim: I'll see you tomorrow. I guess it's chilly outside. Maybe I had better wear' my coat. Hey, Mary Alice, what do you mean, am I skipping? I wonder why everyone gives me that strange and puzzled look. Certainly someone else must wear a coat in school sometime. Maybe I had better get a drink of water. I'm sorry, Laura, but I have to go now or I will have to stay in school. l'll see you later. Good morning, Fran, Jeannie, and Tom. Are you rating to go this fine spring day? Gee, I wish Mr. Otto- would hurryg we can't leave without him. Oh, here he comes. I hope he's as happy as he looks. He says, Well, let's get going: we don't have much time. We all make a mad dash for the doo-r and run out to the car eager for our weekly lesson in driving. Once we get out in Tower Grove Park, Mr. Otto stops the car, and we all take turns at driving. Tom always has to- show off and drive superbly: he doesn't jerk the car even one little teenie bit. Mr. Otto nearly goes to sleep while Tom's driving, then starts getting nervous and looking around for oncoming cars. Finally he says in a tight voice, Sandy, you take the wheel. I ho-p into the driver's seat just bubbling with enthusiasm for my new ho-bby-driv- ing. First I must remember to look at the gas and oil indicators. They're all right. Oh dear, I can't see out of the rear view mirror. There, that little turn to the right did very nicely. Sandra, you're just a genius.. Okay, everybody, clear the road. For better or for worse, I'm coming through. There, that wasn't so bad. It's not everyone that can start a motor as nicely as that. Remember, I have to put the shift into first gear, and let the clutch out slowly. Oh well, that's for beginners. I can let it o-ut fast now. Chug, chug, brrpl WORK AND MORE WORK Oh, no! Not some more! Well, there goes my chance of seeing that big game Saturday. Why do my teachers give me so much homework? Now don't misunderstand me. It is not that I detest homework. On the contrary, I do not mind it when I haven't anything else to do. But the crux of my problem is that I always have something else to do. After school there are clubs and Junior Achievement: on Saturdays there are games and the usual malt shop dates. Take my brother for instance - the most important facet of his after- schoo-l life is to be the first one out to play. I-Ie never comes home with tons of books., nor does he have to cram for those all-important finals. My sister, on the other hand, is only too willing to spend her time read- ing some exciting book about Dick and Jane, the hero and heroine of the younger set. She never once hesitates to spend some glorious afternoon indoors working on her arithmetic tables. Oh well, I guess we all go through that stage! But, back to my problem! I guess I'll just have to get used to all the work. By the time my four years. are up I'll be just another worn-out, bedraggled teen-ager. One thing I do know is that I would not trade one minute of my hectic life in high school-homework and all. JUDY QUEENSEN SANDRA SAAR One Hundred Sixty-two I5 Q 'xxx W5 xx YN N xxx' wrt?

Then we were sent, luggage and all, to find our dorms and room. When 3:30 arrived we reported to an auditorium, and when the deafening hum of the girls throughout the room was interrupted by rapping, we listened. The Sixteenth Session of the Missouri Girls' State is now open. We had started. Yes, we started the busiest, shortest and most unforgettable week of our life, our week at Girls' State. Our purpose was to learn about our government - city, state and fed- eral -- and to do this we became a state, Missouri Girl's State. Already all the girls were divided into counties and cities of this state and, of course, we had to form parties. Therefore, like the Republicans and Democrats, we became either Nationalists or Federalists. The divisions of the cities and counties were only names, and now our job was to make them authentic with the proper officers. We started fro-m the bottom, the city, to work up to a state complete with officers. All we knew was that the Governor was to be the highest office and the last chosen. Cam- paigns and elections of the city offices were finished by the second day. After nine cities had completed their organization, we did not stop but went on cam- paigning forthe county offices and, then, the state offices. Elections weren't the only form of business at Girls' State, for then the purpose of learning would have been defeated. Through classes in Law, Political Science, Peace Enforcement, and State Patrol, we learned the how and why of our office or desired office. Other classes in journalism, music, and parlia- mentary law were also offered in our program. Between the assemblies, city meetings, county meetings, classes, and elections, we did not have a free period that was really free because the making of campaign posters and tricky sayings, writing letters, a fast dip in the pool or a quick game of basketball, or just the good old tea room, our hangout, took up that free period. This week's schedule included a trip to the state capital, Jefferson City. Here we entered the capitol building, and our officers met their counterparts in the Missouri government. Our officers carried on a session with the passing of bills for Girls' State while sitting in the same seats as Missouri's senators or repreentatives. It was thus we completed our state. Yes, we, Roosevelt's Girls' Staters - Virginia Hixson, Doris Newell, Brenda Davenport, and Rosalie Marlen -- will forever remember our party and the candidates we cheered, the songs we sang, the unforgettable friends we made - Our Girls' State. ROSALIE MARLEN One Hundred Sixty-four THE NECESSITY OF SCHOLARSHIP Wow, that kid sure must be a brain! Look at all the books he's taking home. This was a remark I recently overheard at Roosevelt. The student who made it was referring to another student as he was walking out the door with an armload of books. Just why is it necessary that you and I must sit here in school, day after day, studying the principles of such subjects as math, history, and English and all the other subjects that we study in school. Studying these subjects is just the beginning. The reason we must study this previously formulated knowledge is to have a basis upon which to place or establish our thinking and reasoning. During the Spanish-American War, the U. S. troops were attacked by an epidemic of malaria. Dr. Walter Reed was in charge of research to discover how the disease was being communicated. Dr. Reed didn't know how the disease was being transmitted, but he did have previous knowledge upon which to base his research. Dr. Reed experimented with all the methods known to man concerning the transmission of a disease. After a long, tedious process of elim- ination, he discovered that the disease wasn't being transmitted by drinking water, clothing, or food. He finally discovered the carrier was a certain type or specie of mosquito, and if this mosquito were destroyed then the disease would be eradicated. The point I'm trying to make is that Dr. Reed had previous knowledge upon which to base his research. Books are a catalog of knowledge. Did you ever stop to think that all that man has ever done or thought has been recorded in books that you and I can get in the library? Yes, men who have long been dead have their ideas and philosophies made alive to us today on the printed page. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous essayist, poet, and philosopher, once said in his famous speech, The American Scholar: Books are the best of things, well used: abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end which all means go to ef- fect? They are for nothing but to inspire. Now don't get me wrong, Emer- son wasn't trying to underestimate the value of books. However, he was trying to emphasize the fact that books are merely a catalog of facts to be used as a jumping-off place in our conquest of the unknown. Today in the automotive industry, there is great controversy as to whether fuel injection will soo-n replace the carburetor. The carburetor is the device on the motor which mixes the gasoline and air in proper amounts. Then this mix- ture is passed into the combustion chamber of the piston where it is ignited, causing an explosion which forces the piston downward, thus supplying the power to move the car. This device is similar to an eggbeater. The new fuel injection works on the principle of pressure injection. The air and gasoline are sprayed directly into the combustion chamber in a manner similar to the way a nozzle on a hose works, spraying the water in a fine mist. Let us suppose that o-ne of you fellows was going to build a hotrod and you didn't know which system to use. Where could you go to find the facts that you needed? You could go to a book. From a reliable authority you could study the advantages and disadvantages of both systems and from these facts you would make your decision. One Hundred Sixly-five Industry today places a high premium on what is referred to as creative thinkers. The reason such a high premium is being placed on this type of in- dividual is that there simply aren't enough such individuals to go around. Just why aren't there enough of these people to go around? Because people have al- lowed their minds to lapse and their brains to stagnate. What if Thomas A. Edison, one of the greatest creative thinkers this country has produced, would have allowed himself to fall into the lackadaisical state of letting someone else think for him. The world would have waited much longer for such inventions as the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture camera, and many other conveniences which we now consider necessities. Many of us had sore arms due to polio inoculations that took place here at school. You went up to the fourth floor, rolled up your sleeve, showed the nurse your card, and gritted your teeth. But did you ever stop to think of the years of preparation, research, and consistent effort made by Dr. Jonas Salk in order that you and I may live free from the threat of polio? These two men - one an inventor, the other a doctor - were first and foremost scholars. Just what is a scholar? Emerson said a scholar is man thinking , or man using his brain, No-w the scholar isn't to be confused with the bookworm. The bookworm, or my idea of a bookworm, is an individual who feels it is his duty to learn the facts without ever learning why these facts took place or the results obtained by using these facts. Perhaps he is the person who sits next to you in history class. He can tell you that the Battle of Hast- ings was fought in 1066 A. D., but can he tell you why the Battl-e of Hastings was fought, what were the later results o-f the outcome of that battle? No, he can't tell you these things: yet he knows the date the battle was fought. The bookworm holds true to form in all of his subjects. He knows the facts without understanding their purpose or function. This type of individual, in my opinion and in Emerson's opinion, is not a scholar or an example of man thinking, but an example of man remembering. It isn't always the person with the highest I. Q. who advances knowledge the furthest, but it is the person who can relate two or more facts and come up with a new fact. The brain is a highly complex mechanism, not just a gob of jelly-like substance used to fill one's head, but it is a machine which becomes sluggish, rusty, and just plain gummed-up when it isn't used. I say to you, shake up your brains and use them to fullest capacity. The person who does this is well on the road to becoming what Thomas Henry Huxley, the famous nineteenth century biologist, classifies as a liberally educated person. In Huxley's words: That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of 5 whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic machine, with all its parts of equal strength and in running order, ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of Workg whose mind is steered with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of nature and of the laws of her operations: one who is full of life and fire, but whose p-assions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience: who has learned to love all beauty, whether of nature or art, to hate all violence, and to respect others as himself.

Why was I tired? If you have ever ridden on a roller coaster, you have an idea of how hilly Mis- souri country can be. Our camp is situated on several hills and, of course, we slept at the bottom of one hill and the mess hall was at the top of another. The country around Mound Ridge, just turning autumn colors, is not noted for its warm weather. You would stick your nose from beneath the covers and be ready to swear Mr. Frostbite was sitting on it. With the Meramec just a stone's throw from o-ur sleeping quarters, why didn't we go swimming even if it was October? Fortunately, none of us brought our swimming suits, or we might have been temp-ted. One of the girls got over anxious and was accidentally pushed in. Saturday night after six Indians came and gave us their words of wis- dom, We sang songs such as Scratch, Scratch, Scratch, the Bugs Are Coming and 'ADown in the Valley, A traditional Mound Ridge Retreat affair is the huge campfire built on a sandbarge, projecting into the Meramec. The weiners were roasted, burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, and every toasted marshmellow appeared black. In fact, the roasters were more cooked than the food. After the campfire the group went to Indian Lodge to serve cake and coffee to the adults who made the trip possible. One cake, in particular, caught my attention. It had a bright golden yellow marshmellow frosting with purple dough Cone bottle of blue to two bottles of red food coloringj. Only a boy could think of this combination! I remember hitting the sack about two o'clock after hours of dancing. ' With my eyes open wider, I spied a reddish-brown leaf, unintentional souvenir of Mound Ridge. In that leafy retreat, I had received nourishment of mind and body, and shared fun and physical exercise with my fellows, and I felt glad. LINDA GROVER Q 5 ,, S+-li One Hundred Sixty-eight lT4 '- .. In the last week of October 1957, President Eisenhower proclaimed the year starting October 27, 1957, and ending on the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt, as a year in which to honor the twenty-sixth President of the United States. In the follo-wing essays different views are given of the personality of Theodore Roosevelt for whom our high school is named. A GIFT OF THE GODS This was the original Greek meaning of the name Theodore The ability, energy, honesty, courage, and democracy of Theodore Roosevelt made his name a fitting one. From the very day he was born, thro-ugh childhood and even in later years, Theodore Roosevelt faced darkness and despair, and fought to overcome them. When other boys were fighting with wooden guns and swords, Teddy was fighting a grim enemy called asthma. Not until college age did breathing become natural to Theodore Roosevelt. Before going to college he was warned by doctors not even to climb stairs. Two years later Theodore was climbing to the top of the Matterhorn. Anything that Theodore Roosevelt did, he did with the best he had. He was fearless, not afraid of work. Theodore Roosevelt was an optimist. Later in life one wo-uld not believe that this man of dauntless spirit and marvelous leadership was once the timid Theodore Roosevelt. He was never satisfied but always thankful. He was always improving something: he made better laws for the relief of working men: and he Worked for a better government. Theodore Roosevelt wo-rked to- strengthen American relations with other countries, never compromising what he believed to be right. I-Ie said, It is a wicked thing to be neutral between right and wrong. Fighting for his health through a sickly childhood, fighting through youth and continued fighting while President for right, Theodore Roosevelt surely deserves the name Gift of the Gods. JOYCE VESPA ROOSEVELT, THE FIGHTER When the Spanish-American War broke out in April 1898, Theodore Roosevelt resigned his high position as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy in Washington to enlist in active service. He then took initial steps to raise the first United States Volunteer Cavalry, which was nicknamed the Rough Riders. These Riders were a remarkable lo-t made up mostly of plainsmen or what we know today as cowboys. There were such men as Cherokee Bill, Smoky Moore, Rattlesnake Pete, Happy Jack, some Indians, an ex-city mar- shal from Dodge City, a sharpshooter from the Carolina Mountains, and a One Hundred Sixty-nine bear hunter from Wyoming, in the outfit. There were also a sprinkling of Easterners, many of them college men. Roosevelt was the first lieutenant colonel of the Rough Riders but later took over the command of the regiment. He was under fire in the battle of Las Ciuasimas fCubaj. In less than an hour the American troops routed the Spanish forces. After the battle the Spanish said, Instead of retreating when we fired, the Americans came on. The more we fired, the more they advanced. But it was in the battle of San Juan that Colonel Roosevelt dis- tinguished himself. He led the famous charge up San Juan Hill, a charge which made the Rough Riders immortal and made Roosevelt a popular idol. BOB BROWNLIE THEODORE ROOSEVELT. GUARDIAN OF PUBLIC DOMAIN Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most dynamic presidents we have ever had. As soon as he came into office he really set things rolling. One of his chief desires was to see something done about the vast waste and destruction of our natural resources. On his first Sunday as President he held an important conference with the chief of the Reclamatio-n Service and laid out the principles of his conservation policy. His first message to Congress stressed the alarming devastation o-f forest and grazing lands. At the time of the message, there were millions of acres of land open to free grazing fo-r cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. This system, or lack of system, as he phrased it, quickly laid waste too many acres of pasture. To correct these wrongs he asked for government control of the land. The forests, too, had been cut witho-ut any attempt being made to save the soil or to plant new trees. The result was great areas of land eroded and useless. He was also aware of a lack of sensible control in improving our water- ways. A case in point is the improvement of the Ohio, begun in 1824. A new plan was adopted in 1875, and finally a long term plan, in 1902, pro- vided for a navigable river, twenty to a hundred years hence. He said about this: Such shortsighted, vacillating, and futile metho-ds are accompanied by de- creasing water-borne commerce, by increasing floods, and by the waste of public money. Of course, he will probably be remembered best for his great strides in the conservation of water and in flood-control and irrigation. Today we see the results, attained largely through his efforts. We now have many large dams which have converted millions of acres into rich fertile farm lands. Some of these dams are the Grand Coulee, widest in the world: Hoover Dam, highest in the worldg and the Roosevelt Dam named after Teddy. Our nation is grateful to Theodore Roosevelt for safeguarding our interests. Perhaps some day the old system of wastefulness and destruction will be completely replaced by a new era of careful conservation of the natural resources of the land. PAUL MooRE One Hundred Seventy THEODORE ROOSEVELT Author, rancher, naturalist, explorer, reformer, diplomat, hunter, governor and president - all of these titles describe one man, the twenty-sixth president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Other more familiar titles, the nicknames he disapproved of, characterize his vital personality. At seven, little Teddie collected bugs, gathered birds' eggs and took frogs apart to see what made them jump. At thirteen, he was forced by his father into a rugged physical training schedule to improve his nealth, a program which he adopted and endorsed the rest of his life. After a humiliating fist fight, he added boxing to his accomplishments. Because of his inability to hit the target at a shooting match, he decided he needed glasses. He got them and his shooting improved. At eighteen, Thee, a new family nick- name, entered Harvard despite earlier irregular schooling. Here he earned other nicknames, Dude and sometimes Joke because he was small, extremely pugnacious, self-confident, and a little too careful in his dress. However, though not exactly popular with his classmates and teachers, he did join the right clubsg he earned a Phi Beta Kappa key and made a reputa- tion as a 135-pound boxer. At twenty-three, still Dude to his friends, he was elected to the New York Assembly. His fighting spirit and high-pitched de- manding voice gained for him the respect and recognition which got him elected two more times. Because of personal grief and the need for a change from poli- tics, he became a rancher and gained another nickname. The cowboys called him Foureyes. Before long, the four-eyed tenderfoot gained admiration and friendship by his honesty and willingness to play the game. On his return to public life in 1886, he became Chairman of the New York Civil Service Commission. He enforced the provisions of the law impartially and as he felt justly, a practice which did not improve his popularity with the politicians. This was to be his policy throughout his entire career. He was Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the outbreak of the Spanish- American War. He resigned his office to organize the first U. S. Volunteer Cavalry. As its colonel he led his Rough Riders in the famous charge up San Juan Hill. Thereafter he was always known as Colonel. At the end o-f the war he left the army and became Governor of New York. His fearless policies made enemies of the political bosses, though he was popular with the people. To get rid of him politically, the bosses forced him into the vice-presidency where they thought he would be lost, but six months after the election, on the assassination of McKinley, he became presidnt. At forty- three, the youngest president the United States has ever had, he was the most powerful man in the country, and in 1904 was re-elected by popular majority of 2,000,000. He was a great president, and as ex-president he became known the world over as a great American. He made big game hunting trips to Africa and South America and lectured at universities in famous cities in Europe. In addition his writings included history, biography, travel narratives, lectures and essays, an autobiography and nature sketches. Summing it all up, perhaps one of his own titles, Fear God and Take Your Own Part, describes him best.

All of us have a best friend, or at least we think we do, but how many true friends do yo-u have - friends who would go out of their way to help you if you needed help? Every teenager needs many friends for co-mpanionship and to share in good times and special little secrets. But too often, your friends prove to be only fair-weather friends. who find more important things to do when you could use a little understanding. Sometimes it is our own fault, because of our selection of friends. But, then too, you may make the mistake of staying with one group consisting of only five or six, and of glorying in being in their private circle. Soon, however, the private little circle will constrict and you may find yourself on the outside, feeling very lost but so-mehow wiser. Then, too, it is not good to limit your friends to those who are interested only in things that you enjoy doing. A teenager must learn to broaden mentally and spread out into other fields and interests. There are many types o-f friendships that can be lasting and worthwhile. The best friend idea is no-t too popular today and really cannot be, because it is too easy to get half-a-dozen best friends and then you have the develop- ment of petty jealousies and intense dislikes. One of the best things to remember in making lasting friends is that it cannot be one-sided. No-a friend must not be selfish but be willing to sacri- fice for the other when necessary. A second point is that familiarity breeds contempt. In other words, don't tell your friends of all your good fortunes and heartaches, or you may find yourself friendless. Unfortunately in today's bustling world, it seems to do little good to warn anyone against certain evils. Each of us has to experience and learn for himself the heartache and disappointment of the everyday world. So, if you are a fair-weather friend or if you happen to be guilty of an unkind action or slight, usually if you make an earnest effort to change, your friends will still accept you as you used to be. But if they have other interests and can no longer be bothered, and if they feel they don't need or Want your friendship, perhaps it is best for you since they are not really worthy friends either. Then it is time to look around, to strengthen and enrich yo-ur own character and to make new friends - friends that will be loyal and still believe in you when you are down, just as you will believe in them. MARY ELLEN HOVEY O W MI f -, s..q2f Q5 One Hundred Seventy-four A CHANGE IN STYLES Have you ever fingered through the pages of your parents' dusty high school yearbooks? Well I did, a few nights ago - to be exact, seven of them that were nearly thirty-five years old. I was amused but sincerely interested in the change in times. I tried to picture myself and some of our students into those old picture frames. My BWANA was handy and was a good help in the comparison. The last generation was quite a group of stylish scholars. Were they at- tending a classical o-pera or preparing to greet the President of the U. S.? Surely the dignity was noteworthy. The bo-ys wore straight-back hair styles-longer hair than now and parted in the middle. Some even had what one could only call pompadours. They all wore suits with pants, coats, and even Vests. High-collar shirts with long sleeves and a tightly knotted tie were indispensible. No matter how tall or short the freshmen were, they all donned knee-high pants CEditor's note: knee-length breechesj with long black stockings. The shoes were highly polished. How could anyone study in an outfit like that? How would one of those boys look today strolling down one of our Roosevelt halls? But then, how would one of us look if catapulted into the corridors of those times? I suppose everyone con- forms somewhat to style. Personally, give me a pair of chinos, an ivy league shirt, a slip-o-ver sweater, brogue shoes and a flat top haircut for comfort and with just as much neatness. The girls in those old pictures wore their hair bobbed and bushy, an all- over heavily curled hairdo. Some girls wore large brim and deep crowned hats. Long dresses, black stockings and high heel shoes were common. The dresses were long waisted and high necked. Every girl's apparel was incomplete with- out long beads or a tie. Our girls' boy cuts, pony tails, low-heel shoes, plaid skirts, and colored sweaters are more appealing and, I'm sure, more comfortable. Even tho-ugh I think we are better off in this change of styles, I admire those old pictures. In the back pages of these old books I found pictures of the faculty: but then, that's another story. RALPH MUELLER HORSES Horses, horses! I love horses. I love to watch these splendid animals in action, the flashing eye, the arched tail, the prancing feet. I think there is no other animal quite so beautiful or intelligent as the horse. These sensitive animals are wonderful companions. If you have earned the love of one, you have truly acquired a friend. Treat them with love and kindness, and they will give up their lives for yo-u. Anyone who has ever ridden, really ridden, a horse will know what I mean. If you have ever' ridden a horse so that the two of you are as one, you will know that a horse can think, that he knows what you want to do almost before you do. I have ridden a horse in that way. There are no words that can describe the thrill, the wo-nderful feeling that comes to you at that moment. One Hundred Seventy-five When you come racing down a grassy field and you feel the surge of the power- ful muscles between your legs, the stream of wind rushing through your hair, you feel as though you were riding the very wind itself. The sight of a great horse standing on a hill top with his head held high, nostrils flared for the slightest scent in the wind, sets my heart to pounding. Suddenly off he goes, mane and tail flying like banners, picking up his feet and setting them down as though he were running on eggshells. I think I love wild horses best of all. These proud creatures would rather die than give up their freedom. They will kill themselves rather than endure man's corral and man's ropes. I admire and respect their courage. This does not mean that I do not care for the domestic horse, the gentle mare with her foal, the wise old farm horse who stands patiently while grand- pa's favorite climbs over his broad back. All of these touch me deeply. Maybe your machines can do more work and are easier to keep: but can your machines give you love: can your machines give you companionship? Can your brightly polished but cold, hard machine compare with the glossy hide under which ripple muscles of the warm live horse? Can your machine comfort you when you're blue, turn and nuzzle your shoulder when you have a prob- lem? All of this is the horse, and more. Yes, I love horses. I eat, sleep, drink, walk and talk horses. I think they're wonderful. LILLIAN DALTON OUR ANNUAL UNION BOAT RIDE After many weeks of excited anticipation, the day finally came. Every- body had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Plans for dates were thought of and in the long run, dropped, as almost all of us decided to go stag. We figured that being with a groupe of girls, we could have more fun. Ahead of time it was decided that we were going to have a good time, no mat- ter what anybody thought. People must have assumed that we were abso- lutely crazy, but we didn't care. We were out to enjoy ourselves, and that's what we were doing. None of us could dance, jitterbug to be specific, very well, but we did fairly well with our small amount of knowledge. We didn't care whether people criticized our dancing. We wanted fun, and criticism wasn't going to stand in our Way. All of us had to come to work a half hour earlier that evening, because we were getting off at eight o'clock. We usually get off at nine, so really we were getting paid for one-half hour without working. Of course, we all ap- preciated that. All day long preparations were made by each of us, so We could be fully prepared to look our best. I'll bet the sight of such fancy dressed girls working in a dimestore that evening was really a shock to the customers. I don't have to bet on this, as customers remarked on our appearance. Finally, after much anxiety, eight o'clock came, and everybody' dashed up- stairs to give final touches to her appearance. Then We were off! Excitement One Hundred Seventy-six was in the air. Almost all of us had been on the Admiral before, but this time we were going on with an enormous group of wonderful, fellow employees. Therefore, the thought of all the fun we were go-ing to have made us even more excited. The evening to me would have been perfect, had I brought a pair of flats for dancing. Most of us decided that we'd be smart and wear our heels all eve- ning. Well, I learned my lesson. I wanted to jitterbug, but I was having a hard time keeping my shoes, nothing but straps, on. So, I quickly stepped out of them at the table where my mother sat. Then we were able to dance really well, when, all of a sudden, it happened. An official of the Admiral politely informed me that I should put my shoes back on. Embarrassment! If ever I was embarrassed, it was then. But the next day 1 felt better when I learned that my friend experienced something more embarrassing. She also took her shoes off, but the official didn't tell her to put them back on. He politely put them away until she came and claimed them after the boat docked. SANDRA DEMPER MR. RIN GO Do you like opossums? I didn't either until the fourth of August, 1957. It was on this particular day that I was walking my do-g in Tower Grove Park when suddenly I heard a peculiar sound from some dry leaves and walked quietly up to investigate. There, sitting in the leaves and making the funniest noise I ever heard, was a cute baby opossum. Running my dog back home, I returned to capture the opossum and bring it back alive. I fed it warm milk from an eye dropper and bits of Swiss cheese. After two Weeks, Mr. Ringo, a name I chose because the opossum had a ring around its bare tail, grew accustomed to its new surroundings and liked to- go to sleep in my lap while I stroked his smooth, gray hair. Having four fingers and a thumb with sharp needle-like nails, Mr. Ringo liked to amuse himself by climbing onto my shoe and then clinging to my sock. I could walk from room to roo-m, and Mr. Ringo, with his strong grip, would hold on for dear life. He would hang by his tail from your outstretched finger, and if he fell to the floor, he wo-uld make the same kind of noise he made the first day I saw him as if looking for consolation. I'd pick him up and stroke him gently, and it seemed as though he accepted me as his friend. Mr. Ringo gave me and my family many happy and amusing hours in the short time I had him. All good things must come to an end, and Mr. Ringo died on September fifth, just one short month after I found him in the park, motherless and hungry. I made a small grave on the very spot I found him. I know I will never find another pet, that to- me, was so much fun and yet so dear as my opossum, Mr. Ringo.

January 15-Today brought the Senior Edition of the Rough Rider. Who will the Senior Superlatives be? January 16--Great day for the Bwana staff - the books came out! Aren't they beautiful? Don't forget to sign mine! I'll sign yours at the Bwana Dance tonight after school. O.K. See you there! January 17-The theme of the Senior Aud was the Mickey Mouse Club. Twenty Mousekiteers opened the show with a Charleston Act, and the show closed with their doing a Jitterbug. Besides these acts were a Boys' Ballet, a Girls' Hula, a Fashion Show, and many individual acts. What a show! Basketball. Roosevelt versus O'Pallon. This last day the Seniors ate in the lunchroom was a loud and happy time. For some the lunch period extended over both periods. Merry singing Cand some cryingj was heard above the clatter of dishes. January 18--Basketball. Roosevelt vs. Southwest. January 21-Senior Luncheon at Le Chateau. The rest of the students got a different view of the Seniors today as they came to school all dressed up. Suddenly they looked very much older. January 22-Graduation Day. Like mighty spirits they came down the aisle silent, powerful. In white and maroon flowing gowns and swinging tassels, marched the Seniors in a line that seemed to stretch to eternity. This is the future of our country-this throng of Roosevelt graduates. Long may they live, strong may they stand, hard may they fight, and great may they always be, as they were that night. January 25--Basketball. Roosevelt vs. Central. January 28-Basketball. Roosevelt vs. Cleveland. January 29--Report cards and the end of the term. Some were happy to see it over, some were sad, but all look forward to the new term with hope and expectation.

BOYS' STATE OF MISSOURI The twenty-second annual Missouri Boys' State met on the campus of Central Missouri State Teachers Co-llege at Warrensburg. The council lasted one week, from June 16 through June 23. Roosevelt was represented by Paul Moore, Jim Till, Dick Huber, and myself. All of us were selected by the American Legion Posts and were sent at their expense. After several hours' delay at the train depot all of the St. Louis mem- bers boarded the Missouri Pacific train for Kansas City. We left St. Louis about six o'clock Saturday evening and arrived in Warrensbur'g at three in the morning. After four short hours of sleep We were aroused by a few piercing notes of reveille. No-w Boys' State really swung into action. After a hearty breakfast, the boys were organized into political parties, fFederalists or Nation- alistsj, cities, and counties. Missouri Boys' State is a mythical forty-ninth state organized and ad- ministered by the American Legion. The principal object of this organization is to teach Missouri boys how their state government o-perates. This is done by electing boys to offices similar to those of Missouri state officials and hav- ing them perform their duties. Six hundred boys fro-m all over Missouri State were chosen to attend. Missouri Boys' State is compo-sed of Counties, each county has two Cities, and each city has three Wards. Each city has a population of approximately fifty citizens. These counties existed in the dormitories: each floo-r of the dormi- tory was a city. To run for office a fellow had to be qualified. To gain the necessary qual- ifications every citizen was required to attend one of the three schoo-ls of instruc- tion: the Law School, Legislative School, o-r the Peace Officer School. Each school was conducted by highly qualified experts in the field. Graduates of the Law School became candidates for state judges, city magistrates, jurors, or just plain lawyers. Boys attending Peace Officers School were eligible for the Boys' State Po-lice force or the Highway Patrol. Legislative School students furnished candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives. Although the schedule was pretty close, there was time allotted for recrea- tion. There was a different sport on the agenda every day: football, basketball, softball, horseshoes, and volleyball. Every city had a team to compete with the other city in its county. On Saturday night each city sponsored a talent show. The fellows whipped up some hilarious skits. The evenings we usually spent in general assembly at the amphitheatre, having political rallies, listening to eminent speakers, and singing. All the fellows I talked with had a tremendous time. Boys' State taught functional citizenship, and I believe all the boys benefited considerably from this experience. RALPH MUELLER One Hundred Ninety-two w Humlrud Nzm 46 C906 1'umI1'vc1 A mv!
