Roosevelt High School - Echo Yearbook (Ypsilanti, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1959 volume:

bess = : , i� 9 4 Roosevelt High School | Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, ighigan The Opening Door The theme of the 1959 ECHO is ‘‘Door- ways.’’ We chose this theme because we felt that doorways were symbolic of all the many kinds of opportunities. Today we realize that thirteen years ago, aS we stood hesitating on the threshold of kinder- garten, we were entering one of the most important phases of our lives--our edu- cation was beginning. Since that time we have passed through many doors, each one marking another step in our develop- ment. We are now approaching yet an- other threshold as the doors of high school close behind us. A new and strange sight looms ahead--not yet clear or well defined--the doorway to the future. But as we face its challenge, the knowledge we have acquired from the love and en- couragement given us by our parents will be a key for whatever problems may con- front us. Therefore, to our parents who have already opened so many doors for us and who have provided the master key for so many more, we respectfully dedicate the 1959 ECHO. Table of Contents Underclassmen Activities Faculty Everyone, every day, con- verges on the mailboxes to dis- cover what is going on around Roosevelt. The office is the hub of all school activity, and to the office come faculty and students and visitors to get in- formation, advice, and some- times consolation. Administration tackles school problems = PRESIDENT ELLIOT Dr. Eugene Elliot, the president of Eastern Michigan College, is an inspiration to all students. In President Elliot we see the leadership, the fair- ness, and the greatness of a man to whom many students, high school as well as college, look with admiration. MR, MENZI As we pass through the last door- way of high school, we can look back and think of the many doorways that were opened for us by Mr. Menzi, our principal. All students l ook to Mr. Menzi for help and advice, for kindness and gentle consideration, and for firm guidance. MRS, CROUCH Mrs. Crouch, attendance officer, is always in her office, ready to hand out white slips, blue slips, and some- times even yellow slips. She is also ready to give out advice to those who wish it for any problem dealing with college, future career, or personal life. Mrs. Crouch also sponsors G. A.A. Faculty keeps pace ——— with times The Mathematics Department under the direction of Miss Mar- garet Gotts, Mrs. Miriam Shurlow, and Mr. James Northey provides the Roosevelt students with an ex- cellent background in math. Vari- ous courses, ranging from seventh grade math to geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry are available to the stu- dents. The Science Department, under the direction of Mr. Emile Gosseaux and Mr. Louis Golezynski, is designed to encourage scientific interests and attitudes in vari- ous areas such as physics, chemistry, biology, and general science. The pupils are given a knowledge of the natural and physical sciences and are taught how to carry on practical experiments. A varied social studies program is offered to Roosevelt students. The junior high social studies classes are taught by Mr. Alister McDonald and Miss Pearle Baxter. In high school students may take Miss Baxter’s World History or Mr. Lawrence DeBoer’s American Government and most seniors take sociology the second semester, Varied curriculum INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department of Roosevelt offers students a chance to develop skills in work- ing with various types of materials which will afford them experience for future work. Through the instruction of Mr. Robert Bendon and Mr. Carroll Osborn, students are given the opportunity to under- stand better the art of creating practical but beautiful things out of wood and metal. FINE ARTS A great change has taken place in the lower halls of Roosevelt. Mr. Roger Armstrong’s eighth grade art class has taken upon itself the task of painting a mural on these walls. Many other changes have taken place in room 110. In this room we see neat shelves, stacked with chalk, tempra, oil paint, water paint, and the artistic endeavors of Mr. Armstrong’s pupils. This year Mr. Armstrong has formed the Art Guild, a club where students may devel- op their artistic ability. COM MERCIAL When walking by Room 310 one almost always hears the sound of typewriters clicking away. Here, Miss Vera North is instructing students in the skills demanded in office work. The scribbling on the board in room 312 is not scribbling but short- hand, a necessity for a student working toward a secretarial career. Typing and shorthand, plus a course in bookkeeping, compile a well-rounded business education program. of fered PHYSICAL EDUCATION The goal of the Physical Education Department is to pro- vide physical recreation for the students in grades seven through ten. The classes teach students skills in sports, good sportsman- ship, and the ability to get along well with other students. Miss Mary Irene Bell sponsors the girls’ Swimming Club, and Mr. A. D. Walker coaches the various sports. students MUSIC Under the guidance of Mrs. Jean Sundquist, seventh and eighth grade students receive train- ing in the fundamentals of music. Mrs. Sundquist also directs the high school chorus. Mr. Maurice Riley heads the active instrumen- tal music department. He conducts band and orchestra and gives private lessons to students wishing special help. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department prepares girls in grades seven through twelve for their future homemaking careers. The new modern kitchens and sewing facilities make up an enjoy- able atmosphere for the homemaking students. Through this department students become ac- quainted with the F. H. A. Club, which is spon- sored by Mrs. Barbara Heffington. Languages FRENCH Visitors may be surprised to hear groups of Roosevelt elementary children speaking fluent French. Miss Lucille Langworthy has been teaching French to the elementary school children since 1952 and has recently been teaching French in the junior high. Students can take two years of French in High School. If they wish to continue studying the language while they are in Roosevelt, they can take it with the Eastern Michigan College classes. LATIN In our Latin Department we see Miss Virginia Cooper. Miss Cooper shows her stu- dents the importance of Latin as the basis of many of our words. She is also a teacher of social studies. impo rtant ENGLISH This year our English Department had one of its mem- bers, Mr. Roderick Fraser, take a position as an over-seas teacher in Laos. Substituting for Mr. Fraser is Miss Susan Stinson. Miss McAndless was selected as a biographee in the first edition of the 1959 Who’s Who In American Women—an honor for herself, the school, and community. Behind scenes LIBRARIAN Students look to Roosevelt’s library for a constant source of material for term pa- pers, themes, and reports. Here they find current magazines, thrilling novels, and up- to-date resource materials. Mrs. Edith Collins or one of the girls she is training for library work is always on duty to help students find materials. NURSE With thermometer in hand, Mrs. Geral- dine Kress, the school nurse, fights the bat- tle of mumps, flu, and scratched knees. She also checks the health of returning ab- sentees. Mrs, Barbara Badger, the school secretary, counts The custodians, Mr, Ken Kersey and Mr, Clarence the day's receipts. Verg Berg, straighten the cafeteria chairs. Seniors Each September, a new class steps forward to take the highest ranking position in the school—that of the Senior Class. With this prestige also come many special privileges. The coveted Senior Stairs are proud- ly used and protected. The class enjoys an exciting senior trip to New York and Washing- ton. The first rows in the au- ditorium are reserved for the seniors. This final year is a happy and busy one, full of ac- tivities and preparation for the years to come. Upon gradua- tion, the doorway to the future lies waiting, and the class must pass through it, relinquishing their seniority to those who fol- low. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: President, Jim Nelson; Secretary, Sue Oler; Treasurer, Pam McClure; Vice President, Bob Dando, Class History There were 64 eager freshmen when we began our high school days in 1955. That freshman year was a busy one. We participated in many school activities. We were proud of our status in the high school and tried to excel in all we attempted. In the fall of ’56 the upperclassmen initiated us at the Sophomore Reception, ‘‘Autumn Leaves.’’ We were now officially a part of the senior high. At Christmas we spon- sored our first high school dance, ‘‘Silver Silhouettes.’’ We participated even more in school activities. Many of our classmates held important positions in school. We began our junior year by putting the class of ‘60 through its paces at the annual Sophomore Reception, ‘‘ Autumn Swirl.’? We wore our class rings with pride. In the spring we participated in the Junior-Senior Play Festival and hosted the Senior Farewell at Charles McKenny Hall. For the year-end picnic we went to Edgewater Park. At last came the Honors Assembly, and we took over the senior section in the Audi- torium. Summer rolled by, and we were now what we had dreamed of being, Seniors of RHS. With the able assistance of our sponsors, Miss Virginia Cooper and Miss Margaret Gotts, we planned for the year’s events. We prepared excitedly for the Senior Trip to New York and worked hard on the yearbook. We furthered our abilities in the field of speech and dramatic arts by taking part in the annual Play Festival and contests. After our trip to New York, we suddenly realized that we had only a few weeks left as Roosevelt students and at the Honors Assembly we watched wistfully as the class of ’60 took their places as the next leaders of the school. Commencement, June 12, was a day to circle, for each who had done his part walked out of the Auditorium doors with a diploma in his hand, to become alumni of Roosevelt High School. re turned We JIM ALDRICH Mixed Chorus 4 Boys Chorus 4 Football 1,2,4 Swimming 1,2,3,4 Tennis 1,2,3,4 JA. 3,4 Boy Scouts 1 Homeworkshop Club 1 Varsity Club 3,4 RITA BOLDEN to sehool as ih 4 RON ANDERSON Swimming 3 Homeworkshop Club 1 SALLY BROWN Mixed Chorus 4 Swim Club 2,3 J.

Seventeen RHS students hold positions as officers of their respective companies. The “Achievers” set up and run their own businesses. They select. produce, and sell a product, thus gaining a better understanding and appreciation of America’s free enterprize system.

Individual scouts interested in hospital work helped at the Children’s Ward at Beyer Memorial Hospital on Saturday. Senior Scout Troop 367 worked on service bars and adopted a needy family at Christmas. Seven of their girls were selected to attend the 1959 Senior Roundup - one as a staff member, four as delegates, and two as alternates. In the spring, they spent a weekend in Chicago, shop- ping and sight-seeing. The Mariner Scouts, organized in 1955, com- pleted a four-year study of navigation with a week’s trip to Lake Michigan. The Intermediate Scouts worked on their pro- ficiency badges and presented a dance. The Boy Scouts gained many new experiences through camping and service projects. Troop 31 had several troop tent campin g trips during the winter. They rated high in the District Camporees.

Miss Lillian Ashby, who had been at Roosevelt since it opened, retired in the spring of 1958. The Mixed Chorus has eighty-nine members in grades nine through twelve. This group sang at the Christmas Assembly, the Good Friday As- sembly, Commencement, and at a fashion show presented in co-operation with the Future Homemakers of America Club. The Girls’ Chorus presented programs at the Thanksgiving Assembly and the Christmas Assembly. Both the Girls’ Chorus and Boys’ Chorus performed at the fashion show. Outstanding students receive honors In the spring of 1958 four students, Edwin Pear, Bar- bara Burke, Peggy Porter, and Barbara Tate achieved one of the highest honors a high school student can hope to gain. Na- tional Honor Society gives re- cognition to students standing high in scholarship, honor, service, and leadership. Stu- dents ranking in the upper third of the junior and senior classes academically are eligible for this society. The faculty elects as many as 10 per cent of the junior class and 15 per cent of the senior class at Roosevelt to this national organization Front Row. Barbara Burke, Barbara Tate, Peggy Porter, 2nd row, Advisor Mr, Roderick Fraser, and Edwin Pear, Each year, three boys and one alternate are chosen from the junior class to represent Roose- velt High School at the annual Boys’ State Convention held in Lansing. Boys’ State consists of representatives from all over Michigan who set up and run a model government. From the Class of 1959, Edwin Pear, James Nelson, and Robert Dando attended the convention. Henry Wismer was alternate. They are selected by their teachers and classmates on the basis of personality, honesty, leadership, sportmanship, and ability to get along with others. Edwin Pear, Jim Nelson, and Bob Dando represent school at Boy's State. 56 Roosevelt beauties reign at Homecoming On the last night of October at the Roosevelt Homecoming, the queen’s crown was placed on the head of a sophomore, Michelene Roesch. Attendants were Sally Brown, senior, Betty Middleton, junior, and Toni Everard, freshman. Caroline Wilson, last year’s Queen, was present to crown Queen Mickey. Queen and Court (clockwise) Queen Mickey, Betty Middleton, Toni Everard, Sally Brown. Sports One of the things a boy looks forward to in high school . is participating in competitive sports. To become a letter- man is a prized goal, for in this way he can help his school gain recognition. When a bas- v } : , ketball player runs through . ; the locker room door out to ell ’ 2 ; ¥ - the court, he is accepting a — responsibility to his school. Others judge Roosevelt High by the students they see. Since our primary source of contact with other people is through sports events, our 4 ; players must always uphold the highest ideals of sports- manship and fair play.
