Roosevelt keeps pace with progress This year, more than ever, Roosevelt has kept pace with progress. The traditional dress code was aboUshed, and for the first time, prls wore slacks to school. Roosevelt was tolerant of the attitudes and opinions ex- pressed on war moratorium days. Students were given new freedom in determining school policy. All this accomplished a worthwhile result: allowing the students to develop their own ideas and personalities. While the personalities of the students dif- fer as greatly as the range of activities the school (»ffers, the student body is united by a common goal: serving TRHS. Some students choose to serve through support of athletic activities. Some demon- strate their eagerness to help in less obvious ways — honoring the school through commu- nity service, Roosevelt clubs, or academic or personal recognition. All reflect that intangi- ble spirit of Roosevelt. While the students grow by learning, ad- justing and making friends, Roosevelt gains immeasureably with each graduate. Every student leaves some of himself behind. kalhv Hein hikes throiifch eolorful leaves at (,reenHo Ml Park ilh a friend al ihe l) ! |»i nie.
