School Office Hums With Activity Principal Alister (““Mr. Mac”) MacDonald, who takes a personal inter- est in the affairs of the student body, strikes a familiar pose. Mrs. Janet Winkler, Roosevelt’s efficient school secretary, performing one of her many duties. Principal Alister MacDonald, maintaining a relaxed and liberal attitude at all times, has gained the respect and goodwill of Roosevelt stu- dents and faculty. Mr. Mac, as he is most com- monly called, is willing to listen to students and adults alike with an understanding and experi- enced ear. Besides his duties as principal, Mr. Mac teaches a University seminar, serves on staff committees, and coaches the tennis team. Under his able direction the team succeeded in winning a Class C state championship. When he is not submerged in conferences of one kind or another, he tells tales about his Scottish ancestors and his own Paul Bunyan experiences in the great woods of Minnesota.

Indispensable Services Provided for Students Joining the faculty ranks this year was Mr. James Olson, counsel- or, a transfer from Inkster Cherry Hill. Mr. Olson brought with him four years of experience. He has shown himself to be a first- rate counselor and a sympathetic listener. While engaged at Roosevelt, Mr. Olson is taking out time to pursue his studies at the University of Michigan. Mrs. Betty Powers, elementary and high school librarian, provides help to bewildered students who get lost amid the piles and shelves of books. Her main concern is pro- viding a quiet place to study, thereby pro- moting the intellectual growth of RHS students. Mrs. Geraldine Kress, school nurse, checks on student absences due to ill- ness, as well as co-ordinating the school’s health program. 7
