At that time the faculty numbered 25 teachers and in Iune the school graduated a class of 29. Roosevelt continued to expand, and in 1934 fourteen rooms were annexed to the north end of the building. In that period Roosevelt housed both the junior and senior high schools, the latter's sessions being held in the morning while the youngsters occupied the afternoon. In the fall of 1938 the two schools were separated, cutting Roosevelt's enrollment from 1,700 to 1,100 students and from 70 to 50 teachers. This year Roosevelt sends forth its twenty-first graduating class, which numbers about 325 seniors. Enrollment for 1946 was 1,325 students and about 50 teachers, showing a marked increase in size since 1938. Since her construction such famous personalities as Iune Allyson, Eleanor Powell, Marie MacDonald, Hugh Iames, Walter Ash and many others have passed through Roosevelfs portals. Roosevelt is even more proud of her 2,000 former students who have entered the armed services and the 69 boys who have made the supreme sacrijqce. With an illustrious past behind her, Roosevelt High School looks for- ward to a useful and constructive future, in which she can continue to mold the wheels of Democracy and the citizens of the world.
