When the school year 1970 comes to an end, the graduates and underclassmen alike will have their share of high school mem- ories. The sophomore will remember his first year as a chaotic, whirlwind introduc- tion to Roosevelt, the school he ' d heard so much about. June leaves him awaiting his junior year — a year of promise.

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.

Bob Anderson cheen the Riders on to victory. The junior, willi two years of higfi school behind him and one left, anticipates his year as a superior senior ' for this is the year which he will be able to en- joy the greatest degree of high school leadership. When a year of club initiations, frosty football games, and a hectic schedule of committee meetings has turned to memory, he is ready to assume responsibility for leading Roose- velt. After all, he is an expert at dancing in the limited space of an open house in the gym, and may have even memorized the words of Roosevelt school songs! provide students with maturity and memories. Mairet an coaches Bob Anderson ed faces to the opposition. Recalling a jumble of mixers, romantic Christmas dances, grueling exams, and the rewards that made them worthwhile, the senior covers from a bout of senioritis. With mixed emotions of nostalgia and anti- cipation, he passes through the doors as a student for the last time, and into the world for which Roosevelt has prepared him. The results of the krazy kake contest are anxiously awaited as Colleen Foote guards the winning entry. 9
