The Echoes 1958 Published by the Echoes Staff Roosevelt School Eastern Michigan College Ypsilanti, Michigan aiie TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty Seniors Underclassmen Activities Dedication It is appropriate that the 1958 ECHOES, with science as the theme, should be dedi- cated to Leonard W. Menzi, our principal. Mr. Menzi taught physical sciences to Roosevelt students for many years. He showed young people how to live accord- ing to the scientific method: observe, re- flect, test, and conclude. When he became Roosevelt’s principal, he still adhered to scientific principles. As each problem arose, he worked care- fully that each student might feel himself to be an important element: a special somebody, a friend, a person to be trusted. Here is one secret of his wise leadership. Mr. Menzi’s credo, ‘‘Give to the world the best you have’ influences all who work with him, for he is not only the scientist or mathematician, but also the humanitarian. To our principal, we proud- ly dedicate this 1958 ECHOES. Foreword This year’s ECHOES steps forth to emphasize dramatically the scientific advances that have been taking place in the first half of the Twentieth Century. As children, we, the graduating class of ’58 wore space helmets, carried space guns, and watched on television daring men who flew from planet to planet. In 1957, scientists took a long step toward the conquest of outer space: a polished metal sphere circled the globe. Immediately our dreams of space-men and interplanetary travel seemed to fall within the realm of possibility. We sensed that this satel lite would inevitably affect all aspects ot our personal lives. And so, our 1958 ECHOES artist has tried to show that our education, too, is influ- enced by scientific discoveries and de- velopments. We, the high school students of 1958, are being told daily that, in an age of scientific advances, nothing is more important than a trained and educated mind. We are coming to realize that we must pursue our studies, not only in science but in the humanities as well, if we are to keep pace with the demands of a changing society. We, the class of 1958 are looking to the future. ‘ . pired the Greek Revolution ins The old stone water tower | forms a backdrop for the bust of the naming of our city.

General mathematics is required of both the seventh and eighth grades. The senior high has a choice of algebra, demonstrative geometry, and advanced algebra. Solid geometry and trigonometry are available at Eastern Michigan College for Roosevelt seniors. Miss Miriam Hinds, in working out a problem with Miss Gotts and Mr. Northey, sets up a transit. Mr. Golezynski explains the process of reproduction, Our yearbook this year has as its theme ‘‘Science in Today‘s World’’. Here in Roosevelt, upper- classmen are encouraged to elect physics and chemistry. They may also elect biology. The lower classes, grades seven and eight are given a semester's course in general science, Mr. E.F. Gosseaux shows how to purify water by distillation. On duty in the clinic and in the at- tendance office are our nurse and our counsellor. To Mrs. Kress goes the job of repairing skinned knees and soothing bumped heads. For returning absentees she has a ready thermometer. Mrs. Crouch takes care of white and yellow slips. Her biggest job, however, is to counsel puzzled young folks as to which career they could pursue, and to what college they should apply. Some- times it is to give advice on students’ personal problems or to confer with par- ents. In addition to these tasks Mrs. Crouch sponsors G,A.A. Dreams of creating beauty float through the minds of all pupils who pass door 110. There they work with crayons or with charcoal. Sometimes they dip their brushes in the paint pot or snip out an idea with their scis- sors. This is the Art Department where dreams of glory become real. Faculty Messrs. Robert Benden (I.) and Carroll Osborn (r.) of the Industrial Arts Department flank Roger Armstrong, Fine Arts, as they discuss the artistry of a hammered aluminum serving tray. Roosevelt scho ol, in 1952, began teaching French in the later elementary school. In 1955 the school enriched its curricu- lum by giving French instruction throughout the lower grades. Day by day Miss Lucille Langworthy converses with the children in French and develops an apprecia- tion of French culture. Two years of French are offered at Roose- velt, and students may elect ad- vanced courses at the College. Miss Lucille Langworthy is here instructing Georgia Campbell and George Sayre, fourth graders, in the niceties of the French tongue. Faculty Roosevelt's library gives students access to a wealth of resource material. Here they can review articles in current period- icals or consult the bound vol- umes. New books come constantly to the shelves. There is always a librarian available to give as- sistance when needed. Mrs. Collins, R.H.S. librarian, checks out approximately 250 books monthly to Roosevelt readers. American history is a grades’ eleven and twelve elective. It lays the founda- tion for American Government, a course required for graduation. World history is open to all upperclass students. It em- phasizes the workings of the U.N. and our relationship to the peoples of the world. Roosevelt sends delegates to the United Nation Model Assembly at Hills- dale. In grades seven, eight, and nine, there are offerings in social studies and core. These three social studies teachers (I. to r.- L. DeBoer, P. Baxter, A. Mac Donald) are considering some problems for discussion at the Washtenaw County Human Relations Conference. The objective of the Physi- cal Educational Department is to provide gym classes for grade s seven through ten, for both boys and girls. Miss Mary Irene Bell spon- sors the girls’ Swimming Club, and Mr. A.D. Walker coaches the various sports. Miss Mary Irene Bel! congratulates Coach A.D. Walker upon his nomination to the High School Football Hall of Fame. The Detroit Free Press and M.S.U. presented a plaque to Mr. Walker, November 16, 1957. Faculty The Home Economics Depart- ment prepares girls in grades seven through twelve for their future careers as home makers. Students enjoy working in the newly remodeled classrooms. Through this department girls are encouraged to join the school’s F.H.A. chapter. Mrs. Elizabeth Fitch, cafeteria director, and Mrs. Barbara Heffington, home economics teacher, discuss favorite recipes, Miss Vera North provides her students with the skills demand- ed in secretarial work. She helps her classes obtain the right kind of learning in their business courses - shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing. Miss Vera North (I.) explains to Rita Bolden (r.) banking problems involved in checking accounts. The English Department em- phasizes the Big Four of a com- munications program - speaking, reading, writing, listening. Week by week the business of theme- writing occupies the students’ time; and year by year the upper- classmen dig out a research paper. Each year a few students take honors in the various speak- ing and writing competitions. The English Department also sponsors the spring forensics and the annual one-act festival. Mr. Roderick Fraser operates the tape recorder as he and Miss Thelma McAndless listen to Linda Robinson prepare an oral reading. Under Miss Lillian Ashby’s guidance, the seventh and eighth grades learn fundamentals of music. The mixed chorus and the girls chorus are under her direc- tion. The choruses perform at special assemblies and in local musical affairs. The active instrumental mus- ic department is headed by Dr. Maurice Riley. He conducts the band and orchestra, and gives private lessons to students wish- ing special help. The band marches at all the football games and in many local parades. The band attended the University- sponsored ‘‘Band Day”’ this year. Both the band and orchestra take part in the music festivals and give joint concerts. Miss Virginia Cooper reigns alone in the Latin Department helping students to gain an in- sight into grammar and word mean- ings and building up a knowledge of classical myths. Miss Cooper is also a teacher of ninth grade English and social studies. Miss Virginia Cooper helps David Goings see the importance of derivatives in the building up of a vocabulary, EMC Pres ident EUGENE B. ELLIOTT BRUCE K. NELSON Vice-President for Instruction ee WILLIAM C. LAWRENCE Vice President of Student Affairs Seniors Class History A dozen years ago the class of ’58 was entering kindergarten. We, the five-year olds of 1945, were living in an age that was just beginning to push against the limits ot space. We sarly picked up the jargon of jet engines and supersonic speeds. We discarded cowboy hats for space helmets and ray guns. We went through a war and a half, and felt the effects of earth shaking events. Then came 1954, and life for us really took on a fourth or fifth dimension. We were freshmen in Roosevelt School. Long we had regarded upperclassmen with awe. Now at last we were on the periphery of their world. We acquired new sponsors-Miss Pearle Baxter and Mr. Roderick Fraser. We went to dime dances and fun nights. In the spring of 1955, we attended our first formal dance. The sophomore year spelled out high school. After the formal initiation at the Sophomore Reception we were strictly on our own. We gave the Christmas Party, Frosty Frolic, and there was no doubt in our mind as to its success, As juniors we lost Sponsor Fraser and acquired Sponsor Gus’ Go sseaux from Fenton High School. We nominated and elected Judy Martin to the Homecoming queenship. We hosted the sophomores at the annual reception. We held a picnic at Edgewater Park, and we scheduled a rare number of 'at homes’. Now we are seniors, and shortly we shall be alumni. Our record stands: a few scholars, a few athletes, a few singers, a few dancers. Taken by and large we are regulars. Once again we elected the Homecoming queen-Carolyn Wilson. We have had dances. We have been to New York.We had a prom. We're graduating. We're ready to look over the Age of Science, and perhaps, we’ll stake out claims on the moon.

The Roosevelt Student Council, which was organized in 1930, experienced a successful 1957-58 year under the leadership of George Goodman, president; Jim Blodgett, vice-president; and Jill Nelson, secretary. Highlighting the events of the year was the annual magazine drive which enabled the Council to buy a television set for educational and recrea- tional purposes, records for the noon hour dances, equipment for the basketball team, and instruments for the band and orchestra. Activities sponsored by the Student Council included Fun Nites, Dime Dances, intramural athletics, and the Homecoming festivities. Representatives attended the annual Student High salesmen for each day of the magazine sale with their bonus dolls are: (i-r) Peggy Aberchrombie, Diane Sovey, Bob Lamphear, Bob Shaefer, Harold Belcher.

Roosevelt school, recognizing that recruitment of teachers is a major problem in today’s society, fosters an active Future Teachers’ Club. The L.W. Menzi F.T.A. participates in campus workshops, sends delegates to state and reg- ional conferences, and encourages an apprenticeship in classroom A activities. Naturally the Roosevelt chapter hopes to produce a full compliment of mathematicians, scientists, and creative teachers. One of the youngest clubs at Roosevelt is the Future Home- makers, just celebrating its fourth birthday. This is an ac- tive group with 51 members. This year it held a formal initiation, sponsored a Turkey Trot, held a bake sale, and redecorated the Wi? ; ' a Teachers’ Lounge.

The Echoes staff this year sought long for an appropriate theme. Finally after mulling the future with all its facets, Editor Jill Nelson and art edi- tor John Weismiller selected ‘Science in Today's World’’ as a workable idea. On each page the edi- tors have attempted to catch the spirit of Roose- velt School, its activities, its class rooms, its personalities. It’s a great school, and it challeng- es a staff to paint its history clear.

Without their readiness, efficiency, and patience the show never would have been able to be shown.

Walker Captain John Weismiller “I’ve been noticing all evening how pleasant and charming she is to everyone. I’m told her name is Betty, and she works for the telephone com- pany. Will you introduce me?” Yes, Betty, through day-to-day training on her telephone job, has gained a great deal of poise and confidence—real assets to an attrac- tive, winning personality. When she started her job, Betty had no experience in telephone work. “There's a girl I'd like to meet” But she was trained with other be- ginners by Michigan Bell’s friendly, understanding supervisors. Today Betty’s proud of her work; enjoys a fine salary, regular wage increases, and many new friends. What more could any girl ask in a job? Why not get in touch with us now? We'll be happy to tell you more about the variety of interesting telephone jobs from which you can choose. We'll be looking for you! 323 E.
