The name itself recalls the Greek patriot Demetrius Ypsilanti (1793-1832). The strong threads of Greek culture are skillfully interwoven into the matrix of our society, and the University environment is thoroughly imbued with the rich tints of the learnings of the past and the promises of the future. Our University bears the crest of the oldest teacher training institution west of the Alleghenies; and our Roosevelt School, with its predecessor old Normal High, stands out as an enduring example of the best and most widely acclaimed of laboratory schools. Since the turn of the century our school had been contributing to the education of Ypsilanti youth and of neophyte teachers for the Great Society. Each succeeding generation has given of itself that our school's great fame might continue to shine undimmed, not only in the mid-sixties, but in the mid-seventies andallthe years to come. The ECHO salutes the Ypsilanti Greek Theatre and charges it to play a significant role in this great University's hometown. unc ums � а ER pt kac oci id МЕ US 0 Contents PTT en en 0050000.

Activities Student Council Gains Stature with Calder Leading Way Student Council activities took on new dimensions this year during the presidency of Don Calder. With a keen executive board made up of Bill Brasington, Sandy Sharrock, and Doug Tripp, the Council con- ducted a successful magazine drive, rewrote the con- stitution, sponsored dime dances and movies, and participated in a county-wide student council organiza- tion, with particular emphasis on the bi- weekly student exchange days. Mr. Thomas Shook has been advising the Council throughout this busy year. (L-r) Doug Tripp, bemused by con- stitution conundrums, weighs criti- cism of Brasington and Calder.

The Biology Club, now in its fourth year, continues to attract students in grades 9-12 who enjoy the study of wild- life and growing things. The club spon- sors camp-outs and field trips, schedules special lectures, and man-powers à lively biology laboratory. During the year the club instituted a novel money-raising scheme. If during lunch hour one found that he needed a pickle to sharpen his appetite, the Biology Club supplied one for a nominal price. The club's most ambitious project of the year was the Chicago trip for which they sold choco- late turtles. The club has been especially efficient during the 1965-66 year due to the leadership of the president Hal Cas- well and sponsor, Paul Milske. Pumpkin carving occupied the free play period of ebullient biologists on their Hallowe'en campout.

Throughout the уеаг the Future Homemakers exhibit goodwill and the happiness that comes from helping others. Among their outstanding projects have been a Christmas party for under- privileged children, utility bags sewn for the people of the Far East, and the sponsorship of Ward Bl-2 at the Ypsi- lanti State Hospital. For Roosevelt stu- dents and staff the FHA girls operate a noon-hour concession with such goodies as ice cream bars, potato chips, and popcorn. Among their spring projects were the Mother-Daughter Tea and a Faculty Mary Elliott digs out an ice cream bar for Jim Bellers while Open House.

Those who are new in the club are af- fectionately referred to as Polywogs. After a year of mastering basic skills the girls have the opportunity to become full-fledged Sinkopa- tors. Miss Mary Drake serves as sponsor of and taskmaster to the group. During the 1965-66 year the 37 Swim Club girls showed their talents in many ways: Christmas stockings distributed to patients at the Ypsilanti State Hospital while singing carols; a dinner for the boys’ swim team, en- tertainment courtesy of the Polywogs; the initi- ation of the Polywogs in the late spring. The climax of the year was the presentation of The Thirteen Acre Forest, the water ballet nar- rated by Christopher Robin (Robin Robinson) and Winnie the Pooh (Valerie Leabu). For an hour and a half the wonderful land of make- believe became reality. El Cid, Debbie Davis, prepares to throw her cape to the wind before plunging into her synchronized swim solo.

In the early fall willing hands reached out to take part in putting together the 1966 Echo. Under the watchful eye of Miss Thelma McAndless, the editor and her staff encountered new (and sometimes baffling) situations. As the months rolled by, the challenges were met head-on by the valiant editor and her key assistants as they slaved away page by page to tell the story of a memorable year. ECHO editor, Sue Hart, caught behind the scenes, crops one of more than four hundred pictures processed for the 1966 ECHO. 10 Jody Anderson and Sally Leighton, a team of editors nonpareil, have been strug- gling to earn the coveted All-American and medalist ratings for the best live paper of the best live School.

The four nominees were then intro- duced to the entire student body. Crucial voting fol- lowed. Throughout the week tension mounted. The play- ers prepared to battle to victory. On Friday, as the bonfire was lit, the students supported their school and team with true school vo- cality. The Pep Rally, led by all the RHS cheer- leaders, carried on around the huge fire.

On October 2 came the RHS Homecoming Game with Brooklyn High School, which ended in a 25-25 deadlock. Queen Vicki was crowned during the half- time ceremonies by the 1964 Queen, Nancy McClel- land. Vickie was presented with one dozen red roses by RHS Principal, Alister MacDonald. The Ноте- coming Dance, in honor of the Queen and her court, followed the game in the RHS gym. In tense silence, the crowd waited around the roaring bonfire to hear the name of the winning candidate, 18 Escorted by her father, Mr. Donald Schallhorn, queen-elect Vicki rode to her coronation atop her chariot.

While winning the first and last games of the season, the Riders were only to salvage one tie in between, although playing extremely well. Starting out the season by trouncing arch-rival U High 38-12, the Riders produced three touchdowns with John Hall's running, while Fred Houck threw three others via the air to Gary Guider, John VanBlack, and Hall again. After dropping a hard-fought encounter to Clinton, the league champion, the Riders managed a tie before their own Home- coming crowd. After losing the next three games, the team rebounded by climaxing their season with a 13-0 victory over Whitmore Lake as Hall and Guider scored on long passes. The Rough Riders have a bright looking future ahead with fourteen of the twenty-five lettermen returning, in- cluding Captain-elect Dave Walline, who succeeds his brother, Eric. Bud Dornbos.

The Riders set two new Scoring records and taught some of the rival schools the lesson of defeat. With Gary Guider, captain, and Fred Houck, averaging nearly seventeen points per game, the Riders totaled more than 65 points per game, a figure not reached by many previous RHS teams. The team broke the single game record of 79 points in the first of two victories over Pinckney, scoring 81 points. Later, in the most thrilling game of the year, a double overtime victory over Whitmore Lake, RHS scored 84 points. In the district playoffs, the Riders bumped off the tourney favorite, Hart- land, before bowing out by a one point loss to champion Wayne St. Mary's. A special vote of thanks goes from the team to their popular coach, Web- ster Kirksey, and to the ever loyal student body of Roosevelt High School.

JV Hoopsters Set Impressive Record The Junior Varsity topped the 9-8 record set by the JV basketball team two years earlier in fighting their way to an impressive 9-7 record. The team Showed great determination and would have bettered their record if it had not been for the lack of depth on the bench. Coach Larry Wasen, in his second year as the JV coach, turned out some po- tential high-scoring players. He also found strength in Dave Gessert and John Keller, who will help form the nucleus for next year's Varsity.

For several years he carried on single-handed. This year, however, he enlisted the support of a former cheerleader, Miss Joanne Rankin, of the Math Department. These two, aided and abetted by Captain Nancy McClelland, have turned in some winning performances in the school spirit division.

The swimmers, however, facing the season with a team composed almost entirely of underclassmen, put forth tre- mendous effort. Some really fast building must have been done, because the Riders won nine out of thirteen meets, losing only to Class A powerhouses Adrian and Livonia Franklin, and to this year's Class B state champion Riverview. With a new varsity record time of 3:41.3, the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Bill Burke, Bill Rowan, Tom Cox, and Mike Kennedy, which placed second to the state cham- pion Riverview, highlighted the Riders' sixth place finish in the state meet. Individual records were also smashed by Captain Bill Burke and freshman Bill Rowan in the 60-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle, respectively. The team is losing only three seniors: diver Bill Burke (Captain and Most Valuable Swimmer) and backstrokers Rick Sprague and Bill Brasington. With the return of ex- perienced underclassmen, the team is looking forward to bettering its performance next year. | i il і ill nu nga iac jus HU mm 3 : o „ 4 = “ In water (l-r) Tom Brooks, Ken Vandrick, Dick Van- Standing (row 1) Bob Spiess, Dan O'Leary, Milt Aernum, Tom Abercrombie, Peter Linn, Barry John- Proper, Roger Johnson, John Johnson, Pat Powers. son, Mel Ferguson.

Rider Thinclads Out to Capture Championship The 1966 track team is being coached by Larry Andrews, one of Eastern's outstanding runners. Led by captain Mike Powers, the Rider thinclads have hopes of capturing the Lakeland C Conference cham- pionship. Last season the Riders placed second to U TRACK 1966 High. Helping Mike are five senior lettermen and a group of experienced underclassmen. The Riders April will have one of the stronger shot put corps in the 1 11 conference.

Seniors Пс SEPT e ЧИНА Our Sponsors. Miss Virginia A, Cooper Mr. Francis Welper Enchantment. For vve 1966 seniors, these years of high school have truly been years of enchantment. VVe have ex- celled in so many areas that it vvould be difficult to capture the enchantment of the countless magic moments. As freshmen we involved ourselves in the traditionalfrosh initiation. Annoying as the initiation was, we performed with vigor and enthusiasm. The next penny-wise success of that year was the production and sale of pom-poms. In September, 1963, we, the great class of '66, emerged as sophomores, It was ourturnto conduct the initiation rites for the class of '67. That initiation was memorable in the history of Roosevelt. Another highlight of the sophomore year was the arrival of class rings. We wore them with pride, and rightly so, for a deserving lot were we, the class of ?66. On many occasions we were called upon to exhibit our brand of excellence. As juniors, four of us were elected to the National Honor Society. We were proving ourselves in sports and cheerleading. Climaxing the junior year was an- other first in RHS history—the profitable and exciting Junior Carnival, a money-making project with many fringe benefits. Then came the Prom, Athenian Enchantment. The prepara- tion was long and hard. Truly it was an enchanted evening, but with our great class, how could we have missed! Although we are not a class to brag, we must admit that we bounced into our senior year with boundless courage. The peak of this greatest year wastheSenior Trip. We were put on display in New York and Washington. This was truly a never-to-be-forgotten holiday. The many years we had all spent to- gether were coming toa close. But listen— the chimes were ringing a farewell to echo through the years ahead and re- call the years behind.

This ECHO has told you of a creative laboratory school and its place in the life of a great university and a strong supportive community. Through the years, Roosevelt has felt the pulse of its environment and has reacted intelligently to changing patterns of education. Now the staff room darkens. It is peaceful here, and your editor can reflect upon the people who have made this book possible. Deep appreciation goes to the advertisers without whom there could be no ECHO; to the faculty and to the parents who have ridden out the storms of near-tragic moments; to Herbert Caswell, photographer, whose artistry graces the pages of this book; to Mr. Jack McClure for his professional advice and never-failing helpfulness; to our adviser, Miss Thelma McAndless, for patience unlimited; to the board of the Greek Theatre for encouraging us in the development of our ECHO theme— The Ypsilanti Greek Theatre.
