Under the direction of Miss Virginia Cooper, the society this year operated according to the provision of the revised National Constitution which permits the faculty to initiate a larger num- ber of qualified juniors and seniors.

Ou t S ta n d ng St U d e n t $s Joe McCulloch and Jim Herndon were chosen as our representatives to Boys’ State, held on the MSU campus in June 1963. (Alex Recel ve Recogn j tion Dukay and Jeff Richards were selected as alternates.) Personality, honesty, leadership, sports- manship, and ability to get along with others were the basis on which the four boys were chosen. While attending the five-day session the boys participated in setting up a mythical state government, complete with elections, campaigns and office holding. The faculty and 58 seniors selected the recipient of the 1964 D.A.R. award by evalu- ating the qualifications of each senior girl according to her record of service, patriotism, dependability, and leadership. Katherine Foreman was chosen as the final contestant (by the faculty) and proceeded to partici- pate in region wide competition.

Stem to Many Fields The Roosevelt Biology Club is sponsored by Mr. Robert Wall. Although they have no officers as such, they do have a Planning Committee with a representative from each grade, ninth through twelfth. This organization was founded during the fall semester of 1961. A number of students from the class of 1964 had requested the club be founded. During the monthly meetings the 45 members engage in activities related to biology. Among these are lab nights, films, speakers, nature trips, field trips.
