MISS WADD LIBRARY — Peace and solitude (?) invade this corner of Roosevelt High. While busy minds think aloud, Miss Wadd, the ever-guiding librar- ian, works diligently on the books that line the walls. Library helpers, armed with paste pots, scissors, erasers, cards, and stamps, add an air of energetic activity. INDUSTRIAL ARTS — The industrial shops and Smith-Hughes trade classes—home of future mechanics, printers, draftmen, and electricians. Mid the whirr of lathes mingled with the clatter of motors and hum of linotype mats, students tinker with intricate mechanisms while learning the various vocational skills. M8. RUTHENBECK MR. JORGENSON MR. SMITH MR. POTTSMITH MR. 2EIMET

Juniors and Seniors eep in step with information by weekly Ob- servers and Newsweeks . Or do they? With echoes of Mac's What’s that? ... , the stories of everyday life mingle with those of long ago. HOME ECONOMICS Hemming, stitching, basting, and ripping are the major activities of the sewing classes as the girls tackle everything from making shortie coats, jersey blouses, and graduation dresses to knitting argyle stockings; while the cooking classes come forward with many tantalizing dishes to make one’s mouth water.

MISS BROOKS CONSOLES THESE SHIVERING MERMAIDS WHILE THE GIRLS IN THE BALCONY DEMONSTRATE THE CORRECT FORM MISS BROOKS MISS FRYMILLER GIRLS PHYSICAL ED — Cut out all the clap- trap! These words unmistakably belong to Miss Frymiller, the instructor of the modern Dianas, energetic with efficiency tests, basketball, baseball, and all forms of sports. In the swimming pool, Miss Brooks converts high shrieks and guffaws in- to graceful dolphins or useful carriers in lifesaving. PHYSICAL EDUCATION—The sounds of bones cracking (almost) and of joints squeaking arc heard as the boys limber up by practicing a few dozen push-ups . With nothing short of Charles Atlas as their model, they go through precision exercises combined with various sports, not to mention senior lifesaving in the swimming classes. MR.
