ROHIAN 1969 Roosevelt High School Virginia, Minnesota r Time . . . The time of a crystal autumn night with dappled hues of parchment on the ground, a crowded stadium and the hint of victory touching all lips, finally bursting forth in a geyser of exuberance, a crescendo of triumph shooting upward, almost to touch the sky The time of mid-winter with a rustic scent of pine in the halls and greetings jumbled in the distant sounds And the time of a languid spring night, a packed au- ditorium, and a slow march across a stage that sudden- ly seems enormous Yes, there were times of joy and times of triumph, times of gladness and of madness, things won and lost, experience welcomed, and knowledge captured And then there was A Day in the Life 3 5 7 In Dedication: i There probably has never been a man in the Vir- ginia School System more respected than you, Mr. Lind. It is doubtful there will ever be. This is an age in which no one asks if you braved a storm or two; they want to know if you brought in the ship. Mr. Lind, you have maintained order and direction for more than 20 years; your crew has remained 100 per cent loyal to you. Behind your austere sometimes harsh mannerisms, your keen sense of humor and unfail- ing insight show through. Your decisive and strong leadership has been appreciated. We arc grateful for your willingness to listen to new ideas, and we are thankful for your immovability when you be- lieved you were right. You usually were. With esteem and gratefulness. Mr. Lind, we re- spectfully dedicate the 1969 Rohian to you. We hope this tribute will in some small way express our appreciation for all you have given us. Mr Lind has been active as a board member in ihe North Cen- tral Accrediting Agency for several years. 8 In Mr. Lind's 22 years of service and leadership in Virginia, he has gained the respect of those in the educational field as well as those in ihc community.

Friendship, Leadership, and Scholarship F or the first time in many years, the Student Council was an active organization. The year began with elec- tion of officers and the annual ushering for Parents' Night. The major new activity of the year was the drawing up of an improvement list. This included the student's ideas of what could be done to make VHS a better school. The list was presented to Mr. Lind and the School Board for approval. In January, the Student Council sponsored the coketail party for the AES week- end. It was held after school for juniors, seniors and their foreign guests. NATIONAL HONOR SOC IETY. ROW J. Majestic.

The American Field Service Committee works for better relations between the people of all nations. The committee in school is an auxiliary to the adult com- mittee, and works with them on most of their activities. Under the guidance of Mrs. Jean Stolberg, the organi- zation had an unusually active year. The big project of the year took place in January. The adult and student committees worked along with other organizations of the school to stage an AFS weekend. Twelve foreign students along with their brother or sister and in some cases advisor spent the weekend of January 24-26 in Virginia, taking part in various activities. Barnabas Sekasi, foreign exchange student for 1968- 1969, was the nucleus of other club doings. In addition, club president. Bruce Takala, spent an AFS sponsored summer in Germany.

In November, the members displayed one of the four qualities looked for in an initiate-service. This was done by ushering parents at Open House. During the Winter Sports Festival, the organization planned and sponsored a snow sculpting contest, a new activity. It was run similar to the float building contest held for Homecoming, with the best statue winning a travelling trophy. In March, the yearly assembly was held to initiate new junior and senior members who possessed the qual- ities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. 65 PEP CLUB 1st ROW (seated) M Springhetti.

Mr. Tom Moeller, the boys started the year with election of officers and the ordering of megaphones for all club members. The club initiated their vocal activities at the Homecoming game against Eveleth with a resounding roar and such cheers as: KILL Kill, Kill!! and BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD Makes the grass grow!! Besides original cheers, the boys livened up the games with their own renditions of various other cheers: A a a “V for VICTORY And when we yell We yell like — So everyone can tell. 67 GRA: ROW M Bergman.

Each team has between six and eight members. The games are played in the Technical Building Gym. Next is bow ling. The games are played at the Bowling Gardens. The teams consist of four members. Basketball games are played at the Lincoln School. About eight girls compete on a team. The last activity for the year is badminton. The girls sign up in teams of two. Each of the sports has its own tournament, the winners recieve pins for their victory at the annual awards assembly. GRA is under the leadership of Theresa Moroni, senior high gym instructor. The club is popular with those girls who like to compete in sports. Spaench The Club's name is a cross between the groups who make up its members. The first three let- ters, S-P-A, come from the word Spanish. This is a language which is coming into more and more use in the world today. Wayne Christiansen is the senior high Spanish instructor. E-N-C-H come from the other lan- guage represented in Spacnch. French. French has al- ways been known as the language of the elite. The French program in VHS has advanced to the three. Mrs. Pro nik is the French instructor. Both teachers hope to have the advantage of a language lab. soon. The students in the club learn about the culture of the countries represented. Mr. Christiansen is able to give them first hand knowledge of Spain, since he spent some time there in 1968. It is a club for those who are interested in other peoples and their way of living. Sports Are Understood in All Languages Lettermen Mark Nelson and Jeff Osmundson sport their VHS letter jackets. The letlermen’s most important function is the sponsoring of the Winter Sport's Festival. This year’s Festival lasted an entire week. The Friday activity is the highlight of the activities. The sus- pense mounts as the time nears for the queen to be named. Only the lettermen nominate and elect the girl who reigns over the weekend’s activities. An- other event, one the whole school looks forward to. is the annual Lettermen's Supper. The menu al- ways reads Spaghetti and Meat Balls, but when the lettermen get their hands in the noodles, you never know. John Beste, VHS football coach, is the Lel- termen's Club advisor. The VHS lettermen are identifiable by either their royal blue letter jackets or their blue or while letter sweaters telling the name, the sport or sports, and the year of the wearer. 69 Lntre Nous, under the supervision of Amy Beck- strom. began its year by selling candy and popcorn at the home football games. The girls decorated the halls for homecoming, tying the theme in with the slogan “Get Credit Charge the Bears. In October, Lntre Nous held a Halloween party which was a new addition to its busy schedule. Prizes were awarded for the most original costumes. In November, Lntre Nous and Tri- Hi worked together to make the Turnabout dance a success. The Spirit of Christmas came alive as Roger VanLman, Entre Nous's Santa Claus, presented five welfare children with gifts at the annual C hristmas par- ty. Lntre Nous's activity in the spring is selling tickets to a series of movies to the elementary school children. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. There is usually one business and one so- cial meeting during that time. The year draws to a close with the annual banquet, a farewell to the senior mem- bers, and the naming of the next year's officers.

Tri-Hi is one of the most active clubs in the school. The club’s major project is the support of the little Vietnamese girl pic- tured here. Dieu was adopted through the Foster Par- ents’ Plan in New York two years ago. In November Tri-Hi works along with Entre Nous in putting on the Turnabout. During the weeks before Christmas, Tri- Hi’ers sell candy to raise money for the club. The candy sale is a highly successful project. During the holiday season the girls also fill a box of gifts for the patients at the Cambridge Hospital. Christmas brings the annual Christmas party. Initiation for the new members is held in February. The initiates are given certain tasks to per- form before they are accepted as members. In the spring the Tri-Hi Club sponsors and puts on the Senior Girls’ Tea. All of the senior girls and their mothers are invited to the Saturday afternoon event, something which is looked forward to by all the girls. The year comes to a close with the annual banquet, a program presented by the members, and the naming of next year's officers. 71 Tri-Hi s foster child. Dieu. RO-HI-THEPS: ROW I S.

Their selection was, “The Lesson. They also entered in the District 27 One Act Play Contest held in January. Initiation night welcomed many new members with a dinner. Skits were presented by the old and new members. Meetings are held bi-monthly, with one business orientated and another social. Guest speak- ers and other forms of entertainment associated with the dramatics are provided at these meetings. 72 I want one loo! sobs Mike Mattson as Sam Aluni gets a smooch at Ro-Hi-Theps initiation.

It boasts both a State officer, Debbie Taran, State parliamentarian and a District officer, Martha Rowell, District Vice-presi- dent. The FHA'ers are engaged in many activities. They fill baskets for the elderly at Thanksgiving time. At Christmas the girls make and exchange gifts at the Christmas party. An event the Fathers look forward to is the annual Daddy Date Night, an evening reserved especially for dad. The Mothers are honored in the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the closing event of the year. This year the girls are even busier than usual, they are all working together to make Debbie Taran's pro- ject a success. The theme for Debbie's state project concerns the Senior Citizen of Virginia, Minnesota. The girls are working in the areas of the shut-ins. the infirmary, and nursing home patients, and those citi- zens who are living at home. The purpose is to get the community involved and to have the people become more aware of the work of the FHA Chapter. Jo Ann Koskela is the advisor for this very active group. 73 CONCERT CHOIR: 1st ROW A. Bennetts. M Wiles. A. Vondrashek. D. Swenson. K. Biondich. M. Skarp. A. Pc- pclnjak, C. Erickson. C. Alar. J.

Both the vocal and instrumental groups pre- sent a Christmas concert to the citizens of Virginia. The marching band participates in parades and plays at the sporting events. This year the vocal department went on numerous tours, both in Virginia and out of town. The choirs presented the successful musical “The Un- sinkable Molly Brown”. In the spring the choirs and the orchestra participate in the music contests. These are on the District, Regional and State levels.

This year one of Red Cross' biggest projects was collecting and rehabilitating toys for children who are not lucky enough to get them for gifts otherwise. This project was completed for the Christmas season. Red Cross makes an annual collection for the national Red Cross organization. Each student who contributes receives a Red Cross pin to show he has given. Most of the members are seniors this year so the club will have to recruit more members for next years activities. Ellen Korpy is the advisor for this group. Red Cross is an organization which should attract more attention than it does because of the worthwhile activities it is engaged in. Although it is a small club. Red Cross' activities are felt throughout the entire community. Even with their small membership the club has accomplished many things in the past year and will continue to do so. 6 Red Cross members pose with a sign used to advertise their project FTA: ROW L.

The club's members are students who are planning on majoring in some type of education courses in college. Sheldon Johnson is the advisor for this group. Although the club is open to both sexes the members are all girls. For National Education Week, the members made green flags with each teacher's name printed on them and stuck them in an apple. These apples were presented to the teachers to put on their desks for purposes of identification during Open House Night in October. The members are able to learn more about the profession they hope to enter through this club. All the teachers in VHS are able to answer any questions the members might have. At their social meetings the girls are able to hear speeches and discussions which are of interest to them. Future Teachers of America is an informative club to belong to if one is interested in any aspects of the teaching profession. 77 Sheldon Johnson, club advisor, explains the purpose of FTA to the members.

Sophomore editors Steve Rogers and Carole Byrd pause to do some work With the new bond issue we should be able to get more room for the annual staff but senior editors Greg Kishol and Mar Alice Springhctti and photog- rapher Jo Ann Rogers don't seem to be terribly con- cerned right now. 79 PEOPLE 1968-1969 Counselor binar Anderson explains to a student the necessity of edu- cation beyond high school. A Strong Force to Meet the Needs of the Student There are many things which go into making a school like Virginia Roosevelt run smoothly. If you walk into the offices at VHS you will be able to see those people who make itwork. First and foremost you will find Mr. Lind, the school principal for the past 22 years. He is an experienced administrator who know what is behind making the school go. The secretaries are another element which aid the school and students in their daily business. There are three of them in our VHS offices. Another man is Arthur Stock, athletic director. He keeps the sports schedules running smoothly. Last, but not least, are the two counselors, Einar Anderson and Roger Scheldroup. who are always there to aid the students with their problems. Shirk) Byrne, the counselor's secre- tary. smiles at one of Mr. Schcld- roup’s quips. Organization Promotes Efficiency The efficient office staff at Roosevelt High School helps Mr Lind keep the school running smoothly: Shirley Byrne, and Lois Schumann. Cathy Anderson is back again at VHS. This year she is a secretary instead of a student. 83 The Cafeteria staff pauses after a hard day's work Those We Cannot Do Without “You think the basketball team practices late I practice my curl- ing ’til 11:00 every night.' Mushy and his coherts plan their next move in getting water to stick to the trays. “You made a Homecoming float in the girl's locker room and you expect me to clean it up? 84 “HO-HUM '• Although the library is a quiet place at VHS. it is by no means inactive. At all hours of the day students may be seen studying doing research, comparing notes in the conference room, or just plain reading for enjoyment. The wide selection of newspapers, current periodicals, and all types of books have something for everyone. Mona Burgher, librarian, is ready to help with any research problems the students may have, and has a large filing of old magazines from which to secure information.

In English we search for the way to do this most effectively and this can be exciting for both teacher and student. Our program is broad in scope and var- ied we read, we write, we speak. At our disposal is a huge wealth of material, and we encourage leisure reading which can provide many pleasurable hours in life. What’s more, the fruits of English transfer to other subjects.

J. J. is best remembered for his standing on the Study hall desk. Mary Harrington explains to her world history students the rapid spread of the Islam religion. “I believe Samuel Gould, President of Antioch Col- lege, expressed the thoughts of all the teachers when he said: ‘A teacher is a person with a sense of immortality for to have a vestige of oneself in the development of an- other is a touch of immortality. Through this we find an impelling and sufficient reason for living. Through this we live far beyond our span of years.’ ” Nancy Peterson 1968-69 39 Math: A Whirlpool of Digits and Numbers “That's right, now you've got it. says Doug Johnson, higher algebra teachers. “That sounds about right, 2 + 2 - 4, thinks Francis Sev- cik. geometry teacher. “No we don’t tell those kind of jokes in class. says James “That problem's so simple my 6th grade daughter could have done it. ' exclaims math teacher Louis Knoll. 90 In geometry problems, as in life's other problems, a thorough knowledge of the pertinent facts is an essen- tial prerequisite for their consistently successful solution. Frances Sevcik 1968-69 “And I figured it out all by myself. I leach one class of geometry and four classes of higher algebra. This year the mathematics department eliminated solid geometry from the curriculum as a separate subject and combined it with plane geometry which is essentially a sophomore course. Higher alge- bra is a combination of elementary algebra. It is de- signed primarily for college bound students and is es- sentially a junior course. Doug Johnson 1968-69 91 It's my birthday and you forgot! “I SAID. WE DON'T Tell those kind of jokes in class. Today we'll study the mechanical advantages of porpoise hunting. Sheldon Johnson tells his class. “Yah. that walleye must have gone at least 18 pounds. says William Somero. “All right, who's the wise guy who put HCI on my grade book. says Butch Pastika. “If you take one more of those white rats I’ll drop you out of my crop- dusting plane. threatens Harold Schmitke “In this my first year. I think I learned more about teaching, than my students about chemistry. I tried to remember that it's not important how much I supposedly taught, but how much my stu dents actually learned. When a person becomes teacher, he or she takes on a great responsibility. A teacher must use all means available to make, not the teaching process, but the learning process as spontaneous and efficient as possible.

A Systematic Invasion of the Unknown “Biology is the study of the biotic creation. We inves- tigate organisms from the micro to the macro, their structures and functions, their similarities and differ- ences, and the relationship of an organism to its biotic and physical environment. The overall purpose is not only to learn facts and theories but to help our students gain further insight into the design of life and to apply this knowledge in practical ways for a healthier world.” Harold Schmitke 1968-1969 “Physics is directed at all students. It is the study of what makes the whole world go. To live with more joy and intelligence, one has to know the world in which one lives. This surely includes the majestic yet simple order physicists have found in our universe.” William Somero 1968-1969 “Un pajcro en mano vale ciento volando, in other words, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. quotes Wa ne Christian- sen. Spanish instructor. “Through the study of Spanish, the student is intro- duced to an entirely new world one that looks at things differently and talks about them differently than we do in our culture. He becomes acquainted with the way of life of the Spanish-speaking people, who form a large percentage of the population of our hemisphere. In Spanish I. by means of a variety of activities, the student is introduced to the basic sounds and structures of the language. He also begins to form his vocabulary. Listening and speaking skills are particularly empha- sized. In the second level the student continues to devel- op his listening and speaking ability in addition to working on reading comprehension and written expression. W ayne Christiansen 1968-69 Lesen Sie gut! Read It thoroughly, commands Ellen Korpi. Ger man teacher. “To study German or any foreign language is fun for most high school students because it is a subject in which the student can be fully aware of his progress. He knows what he learns, how he learns, and how fast he learns. It makes him aware if idioms. It makes him aware of the structure of his own language. It opens up windows to a culture different from his own. Ellen Korpi 1968-69 “ 'Parie vous francais?’ and I'm not explaining what that means. says Patricia Prozmk, French teacher. 94 Selection Preparation Presentation “In our mechanized society oral communication is playing an ever increasing role. The primary goal in speech is to provide the students with experi- ences that will help them develop their communica- tive abilities and thus become valuable assets to the world they are preparing to live in. Very important in speech are the extra-curricu- lar activities which help train the students to com- pete successfully in our society. Darrel Swenson 1968-69 “Sock it to 'em. baby!! yells Ruth E. Schultz. Jim Fischer uses an arrow as part of his demonstration speech. Honest, it was this big. and it was black and hairy, Darrell Swen- son tells his speech class. 95 I|a Larson converses with students of her Creative Writing class. With Pen in Hand and Thought in Mind “Fundamentally, the classwork is designed to in- crease the student's powers of observation and ability to see relationship. Limitation of subject and focus of subject matters is also stressed. Opportunity is given to the student to study more intensely the resources of the language and the techniques used in writing of prose and poetry and to practice what he has learned.' I la Larson 1968-69 The Subject: Man The Medium: Literature “Current literature is a course which focuses its at- tention upon selected readings that will hopefully help to acquaint the student with the more predominant phil- osophical trends of thought that exist today in the Twentieth Century. Current literature is demanding and it involves an extensive amount of reading and writ- ing in the form of papers discussing issues dwelt on in the books read. Current lit is not a Great Books course, although the books are great. Nor is it a Great Issues course, though there are no greater issues. If anything specifically great, this course is a great personal experi- ence. Tom Moeller 1968-1969 Preparing for his extracurricular philosophy class. Tom Moeller illustrates that reading maketh a full man. After succumbing to the Monday morning 11 o'clock droop. Joe Bar- rett fails to be awakened even by the stimulating exchange of thought incurrent lit class. “I couldn't manage to make myself nasty or, for that matter, friendly, crooked, or honest, a hero or an insect. Now I'm living out my life in a corner, trying to console myself with the stupid, useless excuse that an intelligent man cannot turn himself into anything, that only a fool can make anything he wants out of himself. From Dostoyevsky’s Notes from Underground. read in current literature 1968-1969 Litcralurc of all lypes made its way into both the assigned read- ings and the discussions of Mr. Moeller's class. 97 Although the journalism instructor is caught off guard by the Rohian Bill Stephani laughlingly explains the importance of interesting photographer, comedians Pete Canclakc and Dede Haapamaki gladly makeup in newspapers perform for the camera. To Make a Better Newspaper Some believe that journalism should not be offered in a secondary school curriculum. The detractors are always those who have little or no understanding of good journalism. They do not know that most writ- ers w ho make their living today with a typewriter are journalists. Ernest Hemingway was a journalist. Eric Sevareid is a journalist and is proud to be known as a journalist, as was Hemingway. If teachers teach journalism as writing, as the best writing, they will not be teaching a course which is a frill subject. A strong journalism course is as good as any writing course in a given curriculum. A group of refugees from third-hour study hall discuss the relative merits of an underground newspaper. 98 W illard Nelson Business intruder John Bestc answers a query from one of his typing students. They Teach Their Business to the Letter The ideal situation in the business or office practice class is to have simulated office experience. The stu- dents must realize that an office operation is a paper production line with work flowing to and through a suc- cession of work stations tocompletion. The material covered consists of advanced typing, fill- ing out of office forms, business machines, transcrip- ting from the dictaphone, the operation of the ditto and mimeograph machines, and filing procedures. Julie E. krantz 1968-1969 Mr Nelson dictates a letter to his class Miss Edholm is turned around as usual. Today we’ll study the operation of the mimeograph machine provided the journalism kids haven't wrecked it. begins Ju- lie krant Learning the Way to a Man’s Heart Jo Anne Koskela demonstrates how to pink a seam to her sew ing class. Millie Sipola. cooking instructor, prepares to remove a class project from the oven. “Home economics is the study of and learning about any or all the elements of family living individual development and interpersonal relations. Its main con- cern is with these aspects of family living: Kamily relationships and child development consumption and other economic aspects of personal and family living nutritional needs and the selection, pres- ervation, and use of food design, selection, construction, and care of clothing, and the psychological and social significance of clothing textiles for clothing and for the home housing for the family, as well as equip- ment and furnishings for the household art as an integral part of everyday life management in the use of resources so that values and goals of the individual, the family, and society may be attained.” Jo Anne Koskela 1968-1969 A table in Mrs. Sipola's cooking class has varied reactions to her lecture. 100 Ann Mobcrg. art instructor, stands in front of a bulletin board con- taining samples of her students work Miss Moberg explains to photographer Jo Anne Rogers ho to handle the artwork to appear on the Rohians division pages.

Dallis Frandsen coaxes that little extra which gives the choir its excel- lent sound. Our main goal is to give the opportunity for all stu- dents to develop an understanding and appreciation for all types of music through our three vocal groups. The Choir's goal of excellence must be attained in order to promote this cause! Of course we have a tremendous amount of fun and learning in reaching for this peak by performing in concerts, musicals, contests, tours, and ensemble singing. Dallis Frandsen 1968-1969 Any second now a call for order will come, but the choir members set- tle lor a little confusion as they gel in position on the bleachers. 103 Tony Ncri adjusts a drill bit in the machine shop.

During the homecoming game September 27 he delighted everyone by kicking the final point in the game. Our friend from Uganda helped us all, and his stay with us enriched and broadened our lives.

I This year's Ruhian was designed with two things in mind: to be different from previous issues and to be better than previous issues. The color paper stock on the first signature, the new theme, the chronological order of contents, the copy on the teacher's pages, and the larger size have all never been used before in the Roosevelt High annual, and we believe that you will like these innovations. The captions for many of the pictures are also done in a different mood than those in previous annuals. We feel that the injection of humor into the captions will add more to the enjoyment of the annual. None of the captions are meant to be taken seriously, and none are meant to be taken in a derogatory manner. We had fun putting this issue together and we hope you have fun reading it. Our thanks go to McKenna Studios, the Mesabi Daily News, and Andrew's Card and Camera Shop. Thanks also go to the teachers for writing our faculty copy and to the jani- tors who put up with us on late deadline nights. Special appreciation goes to Mr. Lind for his timely aid and to the American Year- book Company for sympathizing with what must have been their most disorganized staff. And that, friends, is the 1969 Rohian read and enjoy.
