JOHN G. ROSSMAN RUSSEL R. MYERS Superintendent of Schools Principal, Roosevelt High School Gazing Down l'ligl'iroad 1933-1934 I We pause on the footpath of the year nineteen thirty-three and nine- teen thirty-four to look backward and to view the road we have made and then to plunge on breaking the earth for the new roads that are to come. We have been glad of life, we have found the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. I Standing at the beginning of the road we found one thousand three hundred and forty-three students waiting for the journey to begin. Six hundred and ninety-seven were senior high school students while six hundred and forty-six junior high school students were also waiting to travel down the same pathway. I Late in September, the senior class initiated the first school Tag Day, in order that students in school might become acquainted. Every student wore a Tag, designating his name and class. Tag dances for the Junior and Senior High School were greatly enjoyed by everyone. I October camel We sighted the Frolic, which was given to benefit the General School Fund. The Seniors obtained permission from the Faculty to sponsor this Frolic. Roosevelt corridors were changed into a World's Fair Midway. Cen- tury of Progress Concessions fur- nished a gay evening to Frolic guests. I Music students crowded into the instrumental and vocal organiza- tions, giving them the largest en- rollment the department has ever had. Two hundred and seventy-five students were enrolled in instru- mental organizations. Two hundred and sixty-eight singers made up the organizations in the vocal depart- ment. These organizations cooper- ated in presenting the first Christ- mas Vesper Concert on the Sunday before Christmas. Music organiza- tions presented outstanding per- formances for the Spring Music Festival, The All-City Concert with Washington High School, The Band Concert, and the Third Annual Showdown. I Roosevelt sent twenty-three or- chestra members and twenty-four singers to join other students in the Chicago area in making up the ln and About Chicago Orchestra and Chorus. These organizations, the chorus conducted by Robert Lee Osborn and the Orchestra con- ducted by William Revelli, per- formed before the National Music Supervisors Conference in Chicago in April. I Since the school year was short- ened, it was necessary to change the club hour from the advisory period to a period after school. ln spite of this fact, the Edita, Senior Hi-Y, CfB.C.B., Junior I-li-Y, Junior Page Twenty-four Compliments of Lawyer D.

Dunsing by Camille Daniels Girl Reserves, Senior Girl Reserves, Junior Dramatic Club, The Cita- mard Club, Printing Club, and Na- ture Study Club survived and have been carrying on during the year, These organizations have served the school in many philanthropic ways. Honor clubs which organized were the National Honor Society, the Student Council, the Board of Health, the Junior Red Cross, the Girl Counselors, the Boys' Patrol, and the A.G.S.A. I Creative and artistic talents were given a chance for expression in The Third Annual Showdown in which all students in the school had an opportunity to participate. I Clever feature numbers, ln Old Madrid, The Toy Maker's Dream, The Rangers, The Kentucky Hillbillies and numer- ous original skits were used in mak- ing up the diverting program which was presented three times. I The Student Council, an organi- zation composed of representatives from every section in school, initi- ated plans for bringing a new type of student government to the school. Through its efforts, a con- stitution for the Roosevelt student government organization was cre- ated and adopted by the student body. Officers to carry on the gov- ernment next year were elected in May. Page Twenty-five Compliments of Dr. A. A. Ross BOARD OF EDUCATION I Although the interest and en- thusiasm for Debating have never been outstanding in Roosevelt, this year Roosevelt Debators have done noteworthy work. At the Lake County Debating Tournament in Hammond last March, three mem- bers of the team were highly com- mended by the critic of the day, J. L. Cunningham, of the North- western University Department of Speech. I Students interested in theatrical productions presented several en- joyable performances, including the Senior Play, Conner's Applesauce and Franken's Mr. Dooley Junior presented by the Juniors. Many one act plays, coached and managed by students, were given during the year. Three of the most entertain- ing of these were Trifles, God Winks, and Aria Da Cappa. I Class parties, after school dances, noon dancing classes, and the all- school dances proved to be very popular with the student body. The Freshman Class Hop, the Sopho- more Party, the Junior Parties and Prorn, and the Senior Parties and Prom were high lights in Roosevelt's social year. I Entertaining assembly programs were presented at intervals during the year. The Courtship of Miles Standish presented at Thanksgiving, WTCoritinued on page 59l
