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.
