ft Assistant editor Elsbeth Walton, picture editor Anne Valle, and editor Julie Mack aman crop pictures and write copy. The picture cabinet gets a good working over from copy co-editors Bob Wal- dinger and Vicki Christian, Sports editor Dennis Kardon, and Academics editor Ann Neumann. t 1 Photographer Kerry Bowen, art editor Marti Price, and pic- ture editor Anne Valle are seated before staff photographers Joe Baum, Tom Dolan, and Mike Banks. A general index replaced the standard pictorial index. A page number was listed for a person each time his name was mentioned, instead of only when his picture appeared. A third page of color was added and the size of most of the sections was increased due to the reduc- tion in members of the senior class. Pages of candid pictures preceded and followed the senior pictures. The cover was designed by Mr. George Hans, art teacher, and art editor Marti Price drew the title page. Senior editor Jo Ann Denny and her assistant Sandy Brown work with senior glossies as Underclassmen editor Kris Rupp reads 5 names off the list. — - 25

Annual staffs job: capture big moments Trying to capture all the big moments and impor- tant people who shaped the 1968-69 school year was the job of the 1969 Roundup staff. The Roundup, headed by editor Julie Mackaman, began its work early in the fall with the selection of section editors and committees. Some of the traditional aspects of past annuals were adhered to in the 1969 yearbook. Five major sec- tions and an introduction, senior directory, index, advertising, and conclusion composed the book. However, new and progressive ideas were also incorporated. Body type was sans serif, and the down style reduced the usage of capital letters in headlines. The addition of a girl, Kerry Bowen, to the photog- raphy staff increased the opportunities for pictures. Junior Tom Dolan, with the help of senior Joe Baum, rehabilitated the school darkroom for developing pictures. Long, hard hours after school are contrib- uted by annual editor Julie Mackaman. Circulation managers Celia Harris and Ellen Sage, business manager Cathy Erickson, index co-editor Lenice Flohra, and adver- tising manager Dave Rabinovitz pause mo- mentarily from their never-ending duties. Not pictured is index co-editor Sue Buse.

Nervously awaiting their turns to address Roosevelt ' s student body at the foreign student assembly are Sigrid Petersen from Germany, Lily Kaneda from Japan, Anna Sysiharju from Finland, and Getty Dejene from Ethiopia. International Club offers cultural exchange for many Roosevelt students The major purpose of International Club is to broaden the understanding of the different cultures on a person to person basis, commented Mrs. Phyllis Jagiello, sponsor of INTERNATIONAL CLUB and facul- ty representative for the Youth For Understanding selection committee. Open to students of all grades, INTERNATIONAL CLUB was organized for cultural exchange and dis- cussions. The club takes advantage of guest speakers from different countries, foreign students, Roosevelt students who have traveled outside the United States, and visual aids. All foreign students at Roosevelt are automatically extended invitations to the club. Officers serving the club this year were seniors Scott Myerly, president; Pat Kacena, vice-president; Emily Perkins, secretary; and Lois Larson, treasurer. The four foreign students this year answered questions concerning their educational systems, dat- ing, and freedom at home, at the same time posing similar questions to other INTERNATIONAL CLUB members. The library proves helpful to Getty Dejene and Lily Kaneda as they study American history.
