One hundred years ago there were no airplanes, no automobiles, no trans- oceanic cables, no radios, no telephones. Communication was slow and inefficient. Today letters can reach Japan in a few days. In a few hours we can be in any country in the world. In a few minutes we can talk to friends across the continent or across the ocean. However, we still quarrel with our world neighbors because of language or cultural differences. We still war over trivial misconceptions. The important thing in life perhaps then is not merely to give wings to our words and to our feet, but to educate our hearts. Through education we may someday be able to draw all nations of the world together into a peaceful unity. Through education the hope of universal understanding may be achieved. Then we will be able to say, “It’s a small world isn’t it?” “Small world, isn’t it?” — we sing the phrase. We ap- prove it. We not only approve, but we prove it with the advances in communication and transportation. Yet we dis- prove our theme “Small world, isn’t it?” by exaggerating petty differences. What matter that we talk to each other around the world in hours, if we fail to understand each other’s point of view This Unintelligible World Is Lighiened coe Administration Aids Unders tanding Dr. Scott Street, Roosevelt principal, is intensely in- terested in research and its implications for education. Ever on the move, he brings theory and practice to his admin- istrative desk, and adheres to a progressive viewpoint. Mrs. Florence Crouch, counselor, helps each individual to assess his own potenti- alities. In administering tests and keeping records she keeps an open mind and ear to help the student plan his future. Mrs. Janet Huff, Roosevelt’ school secretary, has to face up to a long list of duties. She ad- justs readily to a heavy work load and smiles through it all. Mrs. Geraldine Kress, school nurse, has charge of the “health clinic” at Roosevelt. It is her duty to check the health of each re- turning absentee. This year she has been assisting in one of the school’s several research projects. Whenever you hear the click-clack of typewriter keys, you can be sure Miss Vera North is not far off. She not only teaches typing but all the business courses d R It. Miss Alice Beal, Roosevelt’s school li- ener Speer brarian, has purchased much new material to keep the students up to date in the world of books. She has been busily work- ing on a picture and current-events file to be used in research. Miss Beal also sponsors the Library Club and its various activities. Special Courses Prepare Students Mr. Russell Brumbaugh, head of he Driver’s Ed- ucation Department at Eastern Michigan Univer- sity, shares his knowledge and skill with the stu- dents at Roosevelt. He helps his students to become good and safe drivers on our highways. Fitness: An Import ant Factor In Our Lives Coach Bud Dornbos came to Roosevelt in the fall of ’63. He was no stranger to the high school crowd for he had lived in the area and had managed the Chippewa Club. He is particularly interested in making Roosevelt’s athletic program a leader for the state. He serves on many school committees. Mr. Ronald Saunders has taken on an added responsibility this year. Besides assisting Coach Dornbos in the physical education department, he is still scheduled for eighth grade mathematics . _ Miss Mary Drake is sponsor of the Girls’ Swim- ming Club. Between swim practices and the annual swim show, she teaches girls’ physical education at various levels and sponsors intramural sports. Mr. Emile Gosseaux rates with the best of science teachers. He makes what is difficult comprehensible and applicable and, above all, interesting. He teaches science as a facet of this age of scientific inquiry and thought. His goal is to produce thinkers and do-ers. Sciences Encoura ge Youthful Minds The biology and general science teacher at RHS is Mr. Robert Wall. His classes take field trips and plan special projects through- out the year. He is sponsor of the Biology Club which schedules each year a series of fine lectures. Miss Joanne Rankin has added a new Senior Math Class to her schedule of geometry and algebra. She helps each student become a precise thinker by showing him how to organize his thoughts more efficiently. Mr. Jerry Wyatt has taken over the task of teaching ninth grade Social Studies, Core, and ninth grade English. He is a 1964-65 ad- dition to Roosevelt’s Social Studies Depart- ment. He is deeply concerned that his stu- dents improve their writing skills. Mathematics, Social Studies Broaden World Horizens Mr. Francis Welper, besides carrying a regular load of math classes, is in charge of the audio-visual equipment at Roosevelt. He is interested in student groups and sponsors the Pep Club. He is a kind of foster parent for students weighed down with personal problems. 10 Mr. Gerald Sharp is an eager Core and Math teacher. He has two loves — teaching and architectural design. He will, when given the opportunity, give a full course in the philosophy which moves steel, stone, wood brick perfect school, theatre, temple, or into the shrine. Mr. Thomas Shook has driven from Flint each day this year to instruct the seventh and eighth grade Core classes. He is replacing Mr. William Waara who is in Somalia. He has a buoyant nature and spreads good cheer in an effortless way. 11 — Mr. Alister MacDonald, known to everyone as Mr. Mac, is noted for his stories of high ad- ventures (usually in Minnesota). Between adventures he teaches U.S. History and Government and also coaches the tennis team. He is highly respected by all his students. Miss Linda McKinley, the home economics teacher, makes good use of the RHS modern kitchen equipment and sewing fa- cilities. Her classes plan teas and parties throughout the year. She sponsors the busy F.H.A. which has an active project at the Ypsilanti State Hospital. Members of the local F.H.A. group take part in state and regional conferences. Atts: ! Mr. Thomas Dodd came already well known for his on teenagers. He is the has been promoting AUNT Culinary Industrial Fine Arts The Industrial Arts Department has been hard at work this year developing a new junior-senior high school curriculum. The graphic arts course, one of the many new and exciting offerings, will be of particu- lar interest to the publication staffs, for it may mean resumption of a printing club to turn out Rough Rider and Quest. Mr. A. Francis teaches Roosevelt students electronics. Mr. G. Jennings has the power mechanics class, while both he and Mr. N. Delventhal teach industrial arts. from Utica, Michigan, this year. He is lively art classes and creative thoughts enthusiastic sponsor of the F.T.A. He and a Roosevelt art exhibit. Mrs. Jean Sundquist has the elementary and seventh and eighth grade music classes. She conducts the high school chorus. The production of an operetta, The Lowland Sea:, and the acquisition of new uniforms for the girls deserve special billing among the 1965 chorus activities. This year Mrs. Sundquist has been chairman of the State Music Association Humanities Committee. Dr. Maurice Riley directs the high school band and orchestra. He gives instruction to the beginning instru- mentalists at all grade levels. His students take top rat- ings at district and state festivals. Miss Jean Fraser of the English faculty has a variety of interests. She loves literature and the theatre. She stimulates her students to read widely and to follow current offerings on stage and screen. Understanding Languages Shrinks The World Miss Virginia Cooper, Latin, English, and world history teacher, manages to find time to sponsor the National Honor Society at Roosevelt. She is known for her Saturday morning make-up sessions and her brief- case. She demonstrates a vast enthusiasm for precise word usage. Miss Lucille Langworthy is Roosevelt’s French teacher, This year she has added to her busy schedule an advanced French course for third, fourth, and fifth year students who are not presently admitted to Eastern Michigan University classes. She shows a great deal of interest in music, gardening and French drama. Miss McAndless reviews term papers with student teachers in a critic meeting. “ Mickey ” Miss Thelma McAndless, English chairman and direc- tor of publications, returned from a round the world trip this fall with new ideas for making her classes truly interna- tional. She sponsors the Rough Rider, Echo, and Ques? and encourages students to participate in the schoo] dra- matics productions and speech contests. In addition to her many activities at Roosevelt she plays an active role in state and national professional organizations. Students Observe Teachers’ Appreciation Day Teachers PPreciallon Miss Cooper, Mr. Dornbos, Mr. Mac, and Mrs. Crouch show surprised and pleased smiles as they discover the student council’s special Teachers Appreciation Day observance. All the ladies received red roses while everyone received apples in his office mail box on March 10, 1965. ei eee ensign Lie eS Mish ala, 5 All The World's a Stage - - - The extra-curricular program enables stu- dents to spend time on those areas in which they are specifically interested. It also en- ables students to participate in several group activities and to learn from their fellow students. (1. to r.)

Re- : vision of both the handbook and the constitution Student Coun cil were among major projects. The annual magazine sale assisted the Council financially, thus enabling it to sponsor buses to away football, basketball, and In if 1 ates swimming contests. Joining forces with the Varsity Club the Council Man y Reforms produced the new display case opposite the library. The area high schools’ Student Council Confer- ence, reactivated by the Roosevelt Council, increased better inter-school relationships and proved to be one of the outstanding accomplishments of the 1964 65 council. The executive board discusses the rewriting of the new constitution. Under the direction of Brewster Brown, this was one of the Council’s biggest projects. (1. to r.)

Staff Works Round Clock For National Rating Under the efficient leadership and direction of Barbara Borusch, Joyce Butcko, and Brewster Brown, the Echo was published. Seniors working on the publication found it both challenging and rewarding. Working with sponsor Miss Thelma McAndless, the staff encountered many new and unexpected situations. Much of the bustling activity wit- nessed throughout the year at the northern end of the hall was due to the frenzy of the staff in producing an outstand- ing yearbook. The staff hopes it has published a yearbook which will remind its readers of most of the major events at RHS during 1964-’65.

Through “Quest”, each student has the oppor- tunity to share his creative work, in the form of poetry, essays, short stories, or art. Foolishly he leaps to defend his views, Talking on things he has not seen, felt, or heard. Age shall teach him one day to come To wait, to have patience, to watch, to learn; To say only what is necessary and just, And what experience has taught.

Members of the club include boys who have earned a varsity letter and have been officially initiated. The Varsity Club’s purpose is to promote interscholastic athletics.

In Every Corner Sing The Roosevelt chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Jean Sundquist, can always be count- ed on to provide the beautiful music heard at many of the seasonal assemblies. The chorus has had Judie Bair for 1964-’65 accompanist. The music and entertain- ment heard during the half- times of the Roosevelt football games is attained through the hard work of the band, under the direction of Dr. Maurice Riley. The members also partici- pate in the University of Michigan Band Day and in Eastern Michigan University’s Homecoming Parade. The band earns money each year by operating a concession stand during the Solo En- semble Festival in February. David Franklin, a senior, has been Roosevelt’s Drum Major for the last two years. He has led the band suc- cessfully through all of their half- time performances and through many (1. to r.) Row 1: Janette Elliot, Patti Wescott, Janie Swihart. Row II: Mary Giles.

Let There Be Music Each year the orchestra provides musical entertainment for the Roosevelt student body. Many of the musicians participate in various other special orchestras around the state. For months, talented members can be heard practicing for the annual Solo En- semble Festival in February. Altogether the year’s work proves reward- ing for the Roosevelt Orchestra. 27 Roosevelt’s Future Homemakers of America live up to the .vational goal — to further interest in Home Economics. Throughout this school year the F.H.A. girls have made frequent visits to their ward at the State Hospital. These visits bring joy to patients. The girls have a concession stand where they sell ice cream each day to sweeten their chapter kitty. This activity helps in sending delegates to state and regional F.H.A. meetings and also helps to pay for their various good-will projects. Among the yearly activities of the F.H.A. is the Christmas party for underprivileged children of the com- munity. This year the Swim Club and the F.H.A. combined their efforts for a fun afternoon of swimming with the OF ty afterwards.

Yumi Shitoto, who was here for just the year, became a special mem- ber of the swim club. The year 1964-65 ended with the tryouts for new members, and the annual initiation for these polywogs. Debbi Davis and Amy Sanzi take a minute off from their busy practice for the swim show. 3S FEE. 4 (1, to r.)

These seniors were initiated into the National Honor Society at a candle-light ceremony last June. According to the revised constitution, students attaining at least a B average and fulfilling the requirements of character, scholarship, leadership, and service were chosen to be members of the organization. Roosevelt’s chapter of the National Honor Society has been in opera- tion since 1927. This year’s members are now reviewing the NHS files with an eye to discovering the current activities of Roosevelt’s alumni members. Students Receive Recognition This year’s candidate for the state DAR award is Maur- een Trosko. Maureen won the honor by the vote of her class- mates and the faculty. Al Burrell, Jim Sukach as an alternate, and Don Porter were elected by their class to represent Roosevelt at the 1964 annual Roosevelt Boys’ State. Boys’ State is held on the Michigan State campus and covers a period of eight days. Representatives from schools throughout the state form, and administer a mock government. Their stay is climaxed by a visit to the Capitol and an address by the Governor. This contact with a mythical government gives the representatives first hand knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of the various state offices.

The skeptics said it couldn’t be done, but in their Junior year they did it: The Importance of Being Earnest. They also drew rave notices with The Nature of a Gift. Practically every class member gave his all to these productions. The Prom was a night to remember! C. Gauntlett and J. Herron promenade Christmas dance features Ski-lodge decor Dances: :':ccc crc: The class of ’65 has gained quite a reputation for outstanding dances. Camelot, May 1964, received many a compliment. Loge de Noel, the 1964 Yule- tide Dance, made the party-comers feel as if they were really in a skiing lodge at Christmas time. At- mosphere was established by a timbered roof of brown crepe paper and a thirteen-foot decorated Christmas tree. eS Se Ag Ce MOR eae Unbridled Enthusiasm Sparks Franklin Alton Dennis Cowley Micaela Crandell Victoria Dobbins Darrel Joseph Hinkle Hopkins James Kloosterman Melvin Deborah Bass Betts “Oh!

Just four years ago this class of ’65 entered Roosevelt. This was the YEAR. The upper classmen felt compelled to let the 65-ers know that they were inferior. Through many valiant struggles, the “little we’s” finally achieved entrance into high society. Following the freshman initiation we felt ele- vated. We were insiders. In our sophomore year, we nom- inated four people for Student Coun- cil offices. Sue Ulrich and Jim Su- kach WON! The next year we did even better and captured all of the Student Coun- cil offices — Porter, Brown, Trosko and Otis. We saluted with the V for victory. Besides heading up student gov- ernment, we took honors in scholar- ship, excelled in athletics, supported and led school clubs, gave outstand- ing dances, and cheered Miss McAnd- less’ heart with our achievements in speech, dramatics, and writing and were absolutely the greatest thing that ever happened to Roosevelt! The senior year brought the com- plete blossoming of the class of ’65. Minds have now reached a refinement of unequaled measure. Our potentials have been sharpened by the challenge of leadership. We have now come to the time in our lives when we must expand. We shall go out and meet the world. Good-bye Roosevelt. Thank you for four rewarding years.

With the leader- ship of Captain Al Burrell, the Roosevelt In New La k eland eleven attained that goal by defeating Grass Lake 26 to 12 before an enthusiastic Home- coming crowd. For their first season in the newly formed Lakeland C League, the Rough Riders, sparked by quarterback, Fred Houck, and backs, Andy Ylisto and Captain Al Bur- rell, though posting only a one win and seven loss record, gave their opponents a tough fight all the way.

Homecoming The Court... Nancy Md@Mtetr Cagers Start Season In New League Roosevelt started out well this year by defeating the Alumni. Although always play- ing hard, they lost many close games. They ended up tied for the cellar position after splitting two games with Whitmore Lake. However, they were not always in the losing bracket. They defeated Pinckney’s Pirates twice. The Riders picked up momentum for the district tournaments led by Gary Guider (most valuable player, and next year’s cap- tain) who had 23 points. They played a tre- mendous game defeating the highly favored Wayne St. Mary team. However, Roosevelt was not the only team keyed up for the tour- naments. They lost their second tournament game to Ann Arbor St. Thomas. Considering that the starting five almost always consisted of four juniors and only one senior, they have : Sukach great hopes for next year’s team. (1. to r.)

Riders Play With Action The junior varsity basketball team outdid the varsity by one game of conference play.

Swimmers Splash To New Records The swimming team had one of its biggest swim schedules in the history of the school, fourteen meets, from which the team was able to come up with a 9 win 5 loss record. After swimming against class A and b schools during the regular season the Rough Riders entered the Class B State Meet at Ann Arbor and swam against some schools that were Class A last year but were back in the Class B ranks because of the new classifica- tion. The Riders were able to come home with a seventh out of twenty-seven schools and with a point total of 54.

Thinclads Picture Successful Season This year’s track team will try its luck in the newly formed Lakeland C League. With Coach Bud Dornbos and Co-captains Don Porter and John Capps at the lead, the Rough Riders, with only a few returning lettermen but an enormous number of turnouts this year, hope to place high in the League. Not only do they hope to take the League, but they also figure to do well at regionals and maybe place one or two guys for the State Meet. Along with the hope of a successful season a few of the trackmen are eyeing the record board with the hope of having their names placed there. Coach Bud Dornbos and Capts.

Gene Hall was voted “Most Valuable Player” and his brother John Hall was elected to serve as this year’s captain. The returning lettermen are sophomore Steve Maggio and juniors John Hall (Capt.), John VanBlack, Fred Houck, and Bill Wales.

Intramurals Build Fitness Adding something new to this year’s physi- cal fitness program the Physical Education Department started an Intramural Sports Program which included such activities as football, basketball, swimming, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, tennis and baseball. Each homeroom organized two teams, one of boys and one of girls which compete against other homerooms. The Intramural sports are : divided into a junior division consisting of J “3 es s Don Calder, Fred Houck, Rod Birleson, seventh, eighth, and ninth grades and a sen- —— ior division of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. At the end of the school year the homeroom winner of each sport, both in the junior boys and girls and the senior boys and girls, will have their names printed on a trophy. (l. to r.)

Advertisements A JOIN THE THOUSANDS 3 SWITCHING TO WARDS ONTGOMERY WARD Arborland Shopping Center Wendy Ward is a relatively new idea with Montgom- ery Wards. It is a charm course designed for the teen-age girls between 12% and 19. The girls who enroll in this course for $7.50 receive a charm book, a beauty-care kit and 5 half hour class sessions which teach the girls poise, pos- ture, cosmetics, hair styling, fashion coordinating, modeling and dating tips. Graduation is really a big time for these girls because at that time they put on a fashion show for the public and get to show all the feminine fineries they learned. They also receive a certificate of graduation at that time. In the Ypsi-Ann Arbor area, this charm course has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past few years. And believe me, these young girls really enjoy it.
