GARELD JACKSON Vice-Principal Boys ' Advisor • Two full-time jobs are combined in the position of vice-principal and boys ' advisor. Mr. Gareld Jackson handles both jobs, and much more, with the utmost efficiency. For example, Mr. Jackson is officially the coordinator of the sports program, and unofficially he is one of the program ' s most loyal supporters, for he seldom misses a game or any other activity in which Roosevelt students are participating. His varied re- sponsibilities include dealing with disciplinary prob- lems, which he approaches with a firm hand, a win- ning smile, and an uncompromising sense of fairness in all situations. In brief, Mr. Jackson conducts the affairs of a most difficult position in a manner which has won him the respect and confidence of all. MISS GRETTA WOLFE Girls ' Advisor • The great traditions of Roosevelt have special meaning to Miss Gretta Wolfe, girls ' advisor, for she has helped to guide their development. Her sound judgment and wealth of experience make her counsel invaluable in planning a school activity or dealing with a personal problem. Although her duties and inter- ests extend to all classes, Miss Wolfe is particularly helpful to the senior class in planning and organizing the many events leading up to graduation. Her tire- less efforts have helped countless girls to gain admis- sion to the college of their choice or secure gainful employment after graduation. We will be forever grateful for her guidance.

Administration . . . The management skill of a business executive, the intellectual capacity of a scholar, and the pa- tience and human understanding of a wise counsellor are uniquely combined in Delmer H. Battrick. Under his guidance Roosevelt continues to gain in prestige as one of America ' s outstanding high schools. In addition to the crowded schedule of his regular administrative duties, Mr. Bat+rick now has the responsibility of directing Roosevelt ' s transition from a junior high-senior high combination program to a four-year high school. At the same time he is planning the effective utilization of additions to the physical plant and remodeling of present facilities. The changes will be made smoothly, thanks to Mr. Battrick ' s skillful coordination, and Roosevelt will go on to even greater success in the years ahead. We are most fortunate to have his leadership. 4
