The physical structure of Roosevelt is a symbol of the spirit and loyalty within. Because of its spaciousness and many facilities, the art room is a haven for interested students who wish to work on their projects and exhibits. Men of Honor, Loyol Sons . . . Men of Honor, a song composed by a Roosevelt student, captures the essence of the spirit of the Great Roughrider. Roosevelt is not just a school. It is a tradition. Al- though the interests of the students are var- ied, they are united in one goal: to uphold the reputation of Roosevelt. Sung at pep assemblies and games, Men of Honor symbolizes not only the admiration and loyalty the students have for their team, but also their respect and devotion to Roos- evelt and its traditions. As the world out- side changes, Roosevelt strives to progress and yet maintain the principles of honor and loyalty for which it is known and envied.

Students active in all areas of school Entertaining underprivileged children at the ADC picnic, cheering wildly for the Riders as Roosevelt wins a football game, buying loads of tickets in hopes of winning the Teddy Bear Contest... these are memo- ries that many students who attended Roosevelt in 1 968-69 will remember as a part of high school life. Each year the tra- ditional dances and activities are held, but each year the memories of the graduat- ing class are a little different from those who graduated the year before. Seniors Ellen Teigland and Jim Swaim provide entertainment for their new friend at the ADC picnic. Cold weather didn ' t dampen Rider enthusiasm during the game against Tech. 6
