Middle School Change Offers Wide Choices For Students The Middle School has been changed again this year. The change, typical of Roosevelt’s experimental patterns, is the addition of the fourth, fifth and eighth grades to last year’s combination of sixth and seventh. Under the supervision of Mr. Gerald Sharp, Mr. Thomas Shook, Mr. James Southers, Mr. George Goodman, Mrs. Majorie Paynter, Mrs. Jeanne Scott, and Miss Rosemary Soho, assisted by sixteen or more student teachers, the Mid- dle School program offers individualized instruction in more than one-hundred areas. Although the Middle School project is still in its early stages, and may still undergo much change in its attempt to better its program, Mr. Southers expresses the hope that the program will contribute much to Roosevelt’s research activities. Mrs. Jean Sundquist’s major contribution to the Middle School's cultural program was the direction of the Prince of Pilsen, an operetta given for the parents by the combined classes of the Middle School. Mr. Alister MacDonald leads a discussion in a Middle School class of advanced social studies pupils. Ronald Saunders, the swimming pro, demonstrates a cross- chest-carry of Jim Calder for a Middle School Life Saving Class.
