The F orty-Niner grew from days of work, Yet never was anyone known to shirk His duty, to think, and write, and revise, The result, we hope, you will always prize, As a reminder of the happiest days in your life, When all was so rosy and free from strife. A Gay Nineties Theater is our chosen theme, A theater that today would seem like a dream, With its gaslights, and frolic, and roaring glee, It was a wondrous sight for all to see. Victor Herbert's music, and Lillian Russell's song, Filled the eager ears of the gathered throng. This was a sport-loving, turbulent age, so gay, With John L. Sullivan, baseball, and lawn croquet. There were box socials, immigrants, and loud reformers, Camp meetings, patent medicines, and quack performers Yes, the Gay Nineties shone with glitter and gleam, That's Why they make such a wonderful theme. But now let's sit down and go through the book, To the printing and pictures give an eager look. The reader is familiar with each scene and act, For you are the subject, and the story is fact. The Seniors are the actors, so proud and so quick, An underclassman takes over when a Senior gets sick. The halls and homerooms of our school are the stage, With teachers directing each movement and page. The Board of Education is producing the play, And during intermissions athletics hold sway. The many organizations and clubs are backstage, And it's here actors' tempers are likely to rage. To top the whole thing, in just the right Way, The finale of advertisements marks the end of our play. But now the lights dim, all is ready to start, The actors are in place with story and part. Our conductor's in the pit, a long stick in hand, The orchestra waiting for his starting command. Everyone is expectant, therels a stir in the air, As the overture starts with soft, gentle care. Backstage, directors and actors in a nervous state, For on this they're staking reputation and fate. 4'The seats are nearly filled, someone faintly said, That,s quite a surprise, at two-fifty a head. But suddenly it's quiet, all know it is time, As the curtain slowly rises, on Yearbook' 49. Gordon Lease OVERTURE T0 THE SPIRIT OF THE FORTY-NINERS 1849 With old Zac Taylor in command Of our struggling ship of state, There was talk of slavery o'er the land, Our future seemed far from great. Back a hundred years or more When life was simple and staid, There was upon our western shore A great discovery made. At Sutter's Fort, it seems, one day ln eighteen forty-eight, Gold was found, in some chance way, To change a nation's fate. Men came by horse, men came by ship To find this shining quest, They rode, they walked to make the trip, Their only thought - the West. And thousands came and thousands died, From hunger, arrow, and cold, But still they came with steady stride, To reach the distant gold. Their spirit undaunted, blazed a trail Through beating rain and sun, But still they sought and seldom failed To L'Find a way or make one. 'I949 This is a fast and furious life, Most things seem changed and new. The world is torn with pain and strife, lts only hope now, is you. For a hundred years the time has rolled, Now we're starting out once more. This time not in search of gold, But of peace, an end to war. May weihave the forty-niner creed To never give up the fight, Then our old world may soon be freed From the sting of nations, might. Youth is the hope of men today, God grant us strength to win! Our job is peace in some strange way, Oh, how can we begin? But from the past a voice we hear, A memory from the West: f'lVIove on, as we did, without fear And you will gain your quest. Gordon Lease Settle back in your seats while we shoot you some brief scenes from uThe Forty-Niners,'l or L'Life at Teddy's Manor House. Scene I is set in Teddy's kitchen, where the Roosevelt lassies turn out all types of luscious food Kitchen l 'SA N. Drawing Room r N Hobby Room fWOOIi Shopj ON from toast to full-course dinners. Nice going, gals!! Meanwhile, let's take a look-see next door . . . Whirr-rr! These electric sewing machines are real- ly nice things to have around . . . and the seam- stresses' finished products look as if they just stepped out of the pages of L'Seventeen. Yes, the R. H. S. femmes really do master the arts of cooking and sewing amid beautiful modern equipment. Someday they'll make wonderful house- wives for some lucky men! Scene ll: The Drawing Room. Here future Rembrandts and Da Vincis are created. Art stu- dents do everything imaginable . . . keep the halls and show cases beautifully decorated with displays of original genius . . . work on stage settings . . . and meanwhile still find time to work in class on pencil sketching, chalk work, ink, oils, water colors, and posters. Keep up the good work! May your skillful and creative hands carry you far! Scene Ill: The Hobby Room. UGO to it, fellows! Zzzz-zzz-zz! Grr-rr-ind . . . Ca-runch!!! 'GSomebody tell me when the bell rings!! Boys make everything from knick-knack shelves to desks . . . Roosevelt has a wood shop very well equipped with every kind of modern machinery. To some, the work is a fascinat- ing and interesting hobby . . . to others, it will be their vocation in life. Scene IV is set in the trophy room, where we find all the stuffed animals . . . refugees from Teddy's hunting trips. Some of them look almost alive. Let's take a look . . . a lot of them have green pieces of paper which work magic. Some are going into the Library . . . there's a fellow over there trying to smuggle an 8x10 comic book behind a 5x7 history . . . good trick, if you can do it Others are amusing themselves by writing notes and gazing abstractly out the window. And believe it or not, some people actually manage to get studying done in here! Trophy Room CfStudy I-Iallyl STAGE Scene V: Teddy's office. Here Theodore's little secretaries diligently type, file, take shorthand, do bookkeeping, and run off tests. Many thanks to all of you g your hard work is greatly appreciated. Scene VI: The reception hall of Roosevelt Manor House. Silence reigns. Suddenly, the stillness is shattered by the piercing clang of the bell, and the 'Three Minute Massacre is on . . . HHey, you! Get out of my way. Honestly, it's getting so a fellow can't even get to his classes in peace! . . . HI wanta drink . . . l've got to have a drink!! . . . CChokeD! VVhat are they making in chemistry? It smells like rotten eggs! . . . Rang!! NThis accursed locker just wonit shut! Maybe if I took my other coat and my choir robe out it might help? . . . MHurry up!'i Brr-inn-ggg! . . . Again, silence reigns. At least for another 45 minutes. Scene VII: The dining room, where tasty meals are served each day, the cafeteria is filled with the hungry, healthy Rough Riders who ably dispose of the nourishing hot dishes, tangy salads, and lush desserts. Mrs. Burrows and her cafeteria staff de- serve a world of credit for their good work. Scene VIII: THE room of the Manor . . . Teddy's Library, where anything can, and does, happen. This year, the Library was enlarged to include a reading room, reference room, and a combination storage room and office. New shelves, tables, and chairs were added . . . The walls were painted a cool mint green, and lVlr. Oakum added his own little finishing touches with potted plants, colorful books, and the bulletin boards, which were kept attractively up-to-date. A typical period in any school day finds hir. Oakum feverishly trying to, answer the world of questions being bombarded at him from all sides. HOne at a time, PLEASE!! . . . Oh, what's the use? And the poor librarian wearily sinks back in Library his desk chair, and heaves a sigh as there is a quick CURTAIN. Before we take our curtain call, however, may we take this opportunity to say Thank you, from the bottom of our heartsll to the wonderful teachers who have so capably directed these scenes!!

Www Q PRCDUCERS In the United States education is for the most part directed by a Board of Education elected locally. A group of men and women elected by our parents, who give their time and efforts willingly for our benefit . . . this is American democracy in action. The board's president is Mr. Carl Harvey, a graduate of Case, who is a metallurgist for the Lam- son-Sessions Company. His hobby is catching big fish in Georgian Bay. We are indebted to Mr. Mer- rill Thompson, not only for his valuable services as vice-president of the board, but also for all the sodas and lunches which he whips up for the hungry horde from R. H. S. The lone feminine member of the board is Mrs. Cecil Bumphrey, a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. Her interests include her nine-year-old son, sewing and directing the Young People's Choir at the Congregational Church. Next is Mr. Leonard Coffeen, whose hobby, as well as his occupation, is building good houses. No one has ever been able to decide whether Mr. Emmett Allen loves accounting or golfing the better - how about it, Mr. Allen? Mr. .l. B. Holm is the hard-working clerk-treasurer of the board. His time is spent in balancing books, checking bills, and making payrolls. To complete the meetings are Dr. Smith, the superintendent, and two members of the teaching staff. Thus, you can see our board is well represent- ed by varied occupations and interests. In these times of great uncertainty and vast social changes, if our schools remain under the super- vision of an elected group of men and women like this, America's future will be secure. Our democracy is a wonderful thing when it offers to all the benefits of free public education, controlled, not by politi- cians, but by our own neighbors in our community.

On March 26, the Seniors held their party, a 'LSock Hopi' for class members and their guests. During intermission a program featuring senior Htalentn was presented. Gay decorations, smooth music, and good, clean fun combined to make it an evening we shall not soon forget. ln April, when our announcements and name cards were distributed, We began to think seriously about Commencement. Returning to a former practice, the Seniors presented a class play in May, under the direction of lN'lr. Leonard Robuck. An excellent cast, a beautiful set and hard Work made it one of the best plays ever presented at Roosevelt, and it was pronounced a success by all who witnessed the performances. Then dawns the day to which we have looked forward for so long, and We leave high school to embark on the rough sea of life, our own lives en- riched by our high school experience. The faculty members who so competently filled the advisory positions were Miss Dorothy Parsons, whose advice proved invaluable in pre- paring the Annual and the Commencement ex- ercises and in the affairs of the class, and Mr. Al- len Oakum, who Worked tirelessly with us on our class projects and on the publication of the An- nual. VVe, the class of '49, Wish to express to them our gratitude for a job well done. Class Motto.- Find a Way or Make One Class Flower: Yellow Hose Class Colors: Old Hose and Silver 21? X? 21?

The Boosler Girls enlerfain wilh T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS v A TI-IE FORTY-NINERSU There is a play which has been a tremendous success at Roosevelt. It is entitled The Forty-Niners, and it is in five acts. The all-star cast includes every member of the grad- uating class of 1949. This hit was directed and produced by several noted faculty members. In Act I, Scene I, the Class of '49 enter on the scene as seventh graders. From the Olympian heights of 219 and 220, the mighty Class of 1944 was slightly disturbed by the seventh graders who had just entered Roosevelt. As always, these infants were a great source of annoyance to everyone, for they were constantly losing their way, and getting into everyone's hair. Soon, however, the Forty-Niners settled down to the important business of being seventh graders, and the year passed almost quickly. Scene II takes place a year later. The eighth graders were busy looking down their noses at the horrible infants who were happily wrecking their former home rooms. Why, everyone knew the silly things were always getting lost, and they were such babies! Eighth graders, now, were different. They knew what was what at R. H. S.! Act II begins in September, 1945. The Forty-Niners, their number swelled by additions from Brady Lake and St. Patrick Schools, were full-fledged freshmen. This year was different -- they really belonged! In their freshman year, the active F orty-Niners found many interesting things to do. The girls organized a new club, the F. H. A., and for the first time the Class of '49 had a chance to try its skill in the Scholarship Tests. Sensitive spirits were ex- posed for the first time to the agony of monthly book re- ports, and in English I they learned to quote from Julius Caesar. The great Freshman Assembly brought into view latent talents that were to continue to give pleasure to many throughout their years at Roosevelt. All in all, it was a thoroughly satisfying year for the Forty-Niners. In Act III, the Forty-Niners made straight for the many activities open to them as sophomores. There were so many things to choose from - varsity football and basketball, Chorus, Gym Leaders, Commercial Club, O.B.E., and many, many others. It was easy to see that this would be a red-letter year for the F orty-Niners! The football and basketball teams were wonderfully successful, and the Class of '49 was very proud that its school had won the Western Reserve trophies in both football and basketball. The end of the year was an active time with the Latin Banquet en- livened by the immortal Caesar at the Bat, and the thrill of the Forty-Niners' very first Booster Private. The curtain falls on a class eagerly awaiting its junior year. In Act IV, the Class of '49 at last assumes a secondary lead as juniors. Chosen to lead the Great Junior Class were Jim Henderson, President, Gene Weingart, Vice-President, Norma Waldron, Secretary, and Colleen Carey, chief herd- er of that folding green stuff that all Junior Classes use extensively. All Forty-Niners acquired a gleam in their eyes at the mention of money, and they sold everything from Grandma to the kitchen sink to make money for the greatest Junior-Senior in the history of R. H. S. Miss Mar- garet Berry was the lady who was supposed to have all the answers to all Junior problems, and she did a wonderful job of it. The ever-active Forty-Niners spent a busy year. There were athletics and all of the organizations, as usual. There were two plays, The Drums of Death and Best Foot For- ward, in which the juniors took an active interest, both on stage and off. In December, the Forty-Niners were royally entertained at the Senior-Junior, and at long last, in Jan- uary, came the day every junior lives for - the class rings arrived! In March, five worthy Forty-Niners were in- ducted into National Honor Society. On May 1, there was the Booster Private - wonderful as usual. The time? May 27, of course. The place? Semler's Hotel. The band? Bill Andre's. The event? Why the Junior-Senior, of course!!! The curtain falls on a gala party scene. And now the curtain rises on the last act. It is Sep- tember, 1948, and the Forty-Niners are seniors at last. The stronger sex won out in the class elections, with Bob Lovell as President, Glenn Weingart, Vice-President, George Veon, Secretary, and Gene Weingart, Treasurer, but the girls came right back with Kathleen Young as Annual Ed- itor. The two lucky CPD faculty members to sponsor the class were Miss Dorothy Parsons and Mr. Allen Oakum. Journalism flourished with Jim Sawyer and George Veon as co-editors of the Colonel, with Mrs. Sara Waid suffering the headaches as faculty advisr. The class elections over, the Forty-Niners turned their minds to the important busi- ness of being seniors. The Class of ,49 was the first to have a Homecoming at Roosevelt. Students and Alumni alike felt more than a twinge of pride for their Alma Mater, as Football Captain George Veon crowned Putsy Bissler the first Homecoming Queen of R.H. S., at a dance sponsored by the Hi-Y and Boosters. Something new was started at the Band Carnival, too. Each organization entered a girl in the contest for '1Miss Roosevelt. Many of the senior girls entered this contest, also. Club Espanol was started by the seniors and sophomores enrolled in Spanish II. The government classes held a mock election that correctly predicted the Truman victory. While all of this was happening, the Football Team was bringing home the bacon for R.H. S. Out of nine games played, the Riders won seven, triumphing over their traditional enemies, Ravenna, Cuyahoga Falls and Kent State. Ten Forty-Niners received their letters, and the Football Banquet was honored by the presence of Wes Fes- ler, the coach of Ohio State University. At Christmastime, the Forty-Niners brushed away the tears as they heard their last Christmas Concert, and sang the traditional Christmas carols through the halls of their Alma Mater. After an afternoon of Christmas programs, including a play, The Tree, the Forty-Niners hurried home for Christmas vacation. All too soon, semester exams rolled around, but the Forty-Niners were cheered by the fact that these were the last semester exams they ever had to endure in high school. February was a big month for the Forty-Niners. On February 4, there was a play given by the Roosevelt Chap. ter of the National Thespian Society, You Can't Take It With You. The same day, agony of agonies! eight seniors wracked their little brains on the Senior Scholarship Test. Next, the seniors dug into their ever-diminishing funds to order their announcements, and their very first name cards. Our fighting basketball team was in there pitching for every game,,all of this time. Then the student body was treated to some really fine volleyball when the faculty beat the seniors two games out of three in a championship series sponsored by the newly-formed Letter Club. March brought National Honor Society, and more F orty- Niners were admitted to its ranks. Then, in the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of . . . parties, of course. The Senior Party made all the seniors, male and female, and their guests happy. It seemed that the rest of the year sped by on wings. Time? That was a foreign word among the Forty-Niners. There was so much hap- pening -- the arrival of the announcements, the Senior Class Play, and the Booster Private came and went. Then there was Class Day, beginning with the never- to-be-forgotten senior breakfast, and ending with an all- senior assembly, where the Forty-Niners willed away their worldly goods, told of their glorious past, and foretold their brilliant future. Immediately afterwards, there was the Recognition Assembly. The next things were the Junior- Senior and Baccalaureate. On June 3, 1949, the final cur- tain fell on The Forty-Niners. The Class of '49 had come Into its own. Yes, the Forty-Niners were ready to Find a Way or Make One on the road of life. ww , Av My., Wir 'Wk ,U M. wafwi 'E m.

GEORGE Mc- LAUGHLIN, co-sponsor CLASS OF '50 This year, as usual. the junior class has thought of little but money. money, money! Al- most all the projects have been for the benefit of the stupendous .lunior-Senior. to be held in the Chestnut lnn, llrakesburg. Headed by Ed Sapp and .lanet Connors. it's guaranteed to be a Junior- Senior lo end all .lunior-Seniors. Ah, yes, that country air! Another sideline of the money- hungry class was the attempt to fill everyone's sweet tooth at noon --- just outside of 2197 Then under junior sponsorship we enjoyed swing- ing and swaying to the tantalizing music of many of the name bands ton the record player, what else?J after the Cuyahoga lfalls basketball game. The money-making projects have advanced from sharing the proceeds from the concessions at the football games, to fnll control of the purse strings during basketball season. Naturally, or- chids to the faithful few what would we do without them? ln the life of a junior, a big event is the choos- ing and arriving of those prized class rings. This year was no exception. The rings finally chosen by the ring committee were oval, ruby, black onyx, spinel, or inlaid gold. Of course, these new rings added much new spark to a gossip column needing something new to talk about after Christ- mas rush. Something really new for juniors was the Ca- reer Dayl' held at Kent State University, with talks on all sorts of occupations - just take your choice. Did someone say another day out of school? It must have been worthwhile. Not to be overlooked are the tireless t?D hours spent by Miss Berry and Mac helping the jun- iors face their troublesome problems, and what is also important - helping them conduct their class meetings so that something could be accomplished! A rare thing for any class. But above everything else has come the realiza- tion that now they are on top, that finally they have attained that goal they have been striving toward for eleven long years - seniors, at last!

It seemed like bribery to the upperclassmen. But Jerry looked good! Need we say more . . . I Given the opportunities, the underclassmen broke into a number of new roles. Budding ac- tors and actresses, athletes and beauty queens all had a part in the regular program of events this year. One of the jokes of the year, never to be for- gotten, was Tommy Brown's announcement in assembly about the sophomore class weiner roast on a cold Saturday night. The sophomores start- ed a premature money drive with a spring dance in April. Under consideration were a radio raf- fle and possibly a hayride. Both big deals! The frosh sponsored The Shamrock Hop March 12, that brought out lots of spring ruffles and laces. At the annual Band Carnival, Doris DeCenso honored her class by being chosen over loads of tough competition as Miss R. H. S. of 194-8. The eighth grade spent most of their time or- ganizing themselves and their class. Connie Boyce was elected president, the only woman class pres- ident in the school. They are planning to have some sort of social engagement for the eighth grade onlyw before the end of the year.

Northeastern Ohio Auditions. and inany other events for which they sang. SENIOR CHORUS l+'or the first time in the history of Roosevelt High School. membership in Chorus was not re- stricted to a selected group. Consequently, bed- lam reigned when ninety-five would-be vocalists appeared . As weeks passed and tryouts were finished, work was started on the Christmas concert, which was the first important musical event of the year. During rehearsals. numbers were usually good in spots. but the finished product was a very suc- cessful concert. Second semester brought with it a change to a select group. resulting in a somewhat smaller clioi us. Somehow the reduction in number seemed to inspire members to greater and better singing. lfroni this organization. two smaller groups were Iiornierl. a Mixed Ensemble and a lwixed Octet. Ensemble consisted of twelve voices, three of which were a descant of girls' voices. They sang familiar Christmas carols for the Christmas Con- cert, Sorosis Club, and Central P. T. A. Octet was formed in the latter part of the school year and performed for the spring concert and Hi-Y induction service. Haunting Gershwin melodies mingled with syncopation and spring breezes in preparation for the spring concert which was a tyou guessed itll Gershwin program. Sincere thanks go to our director, Miss Jones. who had the enormous task of teaching Chorus during activities period. If you don't think tliatls a job -- just try it sometime!

Oh, nothing. just Mr. ltohurk tearing out an- other liistiul of hair . . . I lfirsl on the agenda for the little man with the liornfrimnieil specs was the organization of the spot-fli and dramatics class. Ilramatics students got a taste of Shakespeare when they read two ol' his greatest tragedies, Ullirlln and Ilamlrfl. In addition to this, they learned the art ol' properly applying stage make- up, they presented tvvo one-act plays, The Tree at Christmastime, and Wilbur Faces Life in tho spring, and they attended George Bernard Shaw's i'I411n and Superman. starring Maurice Evans, at the Hanna Theatre in Cleveland. At, Christmas, the speech class presented the radio play, Silenl Night, the story of Franz Gru- her, from the stage and broadcast it over the pub- lic address system to all the rooms in the school. The first school play. a hilarious comedy, You lTmz't Take It With You, was presented to large and appreciative audiences at two performances which were held on February 3 and 4-. The cast Row 2: Jim Johnson, Hugh Halle, for this play worked three long, hard months on the production, they are to be highly commended on their smooth performance which displayed the best of talent. The second production was given by the sen- iors as their class play. Once again, the tradition of class plays was brought back, and the '4-Qers car- ried it on in grand style. We hope they'll keep it up. The organization of the Speech Club was an- other big project of Mr. PCS. Before dinner in You Can't Take It With You, Grandpa offers thanks for the normal Qfor themj condition of the family. Mr. DePinna, in his Roman costume. poses for Pen- ny, while Grandpa practices his aim at the dart board in the pic- ture at the far right.

New to the faculty this year, he has grown fast in popularity, and our wish for him is that he may carry on successfully for many more years here at R. H. S.

Having elected their officers last spring, the l . H. A. was the first of the clubs to begin its ac- tivities. To start off the year they sponsored a dance after the Ravenna football game, and held their annual turkey raffle. One of the outstanding events of the year was the initiation service, in which new members from the ninth and tenth grades were inducted into the club. Other events which took place were a potluck supper for the Kent State members. a clothing drive for lCuropean children, and the sale of imported napkins. Roosevelt F. H. A. is an active chapter of the state and national organizations. and endeavors to send delegates to the state and national organi- zations. The F. H.

The important dances of the year included the Homecoming dance Cwhich they co-sponsored with Boostersj and the Thanksgiving dance, at East Market Gardens, in honor of the Hi-Y queen and the outstanding football players of the Akron district. The honor representatives from R. H. S. were Florence Bissler and Forrest Brant. The Hi-Y boys enjoyed helping the Boosters put Christmas spirit into the halls with gay dec- orationsg they presented an assembly at Ravenna, they helped others by contributing postage stamps to the veterans at Crile Hospital and by selling plastic clothespins - the proceeds of the sale go- ing to charity. To combine work with pleasure, they formed their own glee club and basketball team. During the March of Dimes, they volunteered to give speeches on the P. A., they likewise vol- unteered to conduct devotions for regular assem- blies and those of Holy Week. Y In a solemn and serious mood, with a church- like atmosphere, an impressive formal induction was held in our auditorium on February 21. The officers presented the Hi-Y platform of Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Sportsmanship. The most memorable part of the service in the mind of every new member was the presentation of his pin by his mother, for which he in turn presented his mother with a red rose. Climaxing the year was the presentation of the Hi-Y Manhood Award to the outstanding senior.

The council is composed of students from the eighth to the twelfth grades: four seniors. three juniors, two sophomores, one freshman, and one eighth grader. Council meetings are held during activity period Mondays. The purpose of the Student Council is to promote all school activities. Its ac- tivities for the year included a tax stamp collec- tion, the proceeds from which helped to purchase the new band uniforms. This group promoted safer driving by requiring driving permits for students who drive cars to school. The Student Council also sponsored and arranged for noon in- tramural basketball contests. .fi ,unix sg v 4 at On November 16, Bill Allen, Janet Connors and Bob Rae, with Mr. Paulus, traveled to John Adams High School in Cleveland to observe in action one of the finest examples of high school student government. It proved a very valuable trip, for the observers brought back many val- uble suggestions for our student organizations. The most outstanding things they saw were the student-controlled study halls and student control over all school activities. Considering irregular meetings and difficul- ties in getting members to the meetings, the coun- cil deserves a hand.

Their meetings, both social and business, are held once a week with one meeting on the second Tues- day of each month set aside for bowling. Their calendar for the past year has been filled with various activities. The girls enter- tained Stow and Kent State members in games of volleyball and basketball, with refreshments served afterwards. Kent State and Stow returned their hospitality by inviting Kent Roosevelt to their home courts for games. One of the more unusual events was the volleyball game with the varsity and reserve teams and their coaches. Fol- lowing the game, a spaghetti supper, prepared by the girls, was enjoyed by all. In addition to these activities, the Leaders sponsored a dance and sold football and basketball pins. The outstanding feature of the year was the annual picnic at which the new members were initiated. Here the girls enjoyed their last meeting of the school year. Mrs. Gardner, Gym Leader sponsor, has helped a great deal by her all-around ability and her understanding of sports.

The membership, restricted to fifteen percent of the upper third of the Senior Class and five percent of the upper third of the Junior Class, is fundamentally based on the four cardinal prin- ciples of the society - scholarship, leadership, character, and service. New members are inducted at a formal can- dlelight ceremony to which parents and friends are secretly invited. The members are elected by the teachers on the basis of a point system. An alumnus presents the introductory speech. The officers explain the meaning of membership in the society. and then the new members are individ- ually escorted to the stage by a faculty member. The induction ceremony is a dignified and im- pressive traditional service. in which the chosen students receive the highest honor their high school can offer. After the induction, the whole group attended a luncheon at the Canteen, and for the first time received the remainder of the day off. They later hope to attend a baseball game in Cleveland. Their activities for the past year have in- cluded selling candy at noon, sponsoring a dance, and also visiting another school.

Commercial Club meets the fifth period every Tuesday. Its membership includes sophomore, junior and senior girls interested in achieving of- fice proficiency and in developing the personality and character traits necessary to successful steno- graphic and secretarial work. To start an interesting year, the club traveled to the Ravenna U. S. O. for a skating party. A Christmas party and gift exchange was held in the cafeteria. Such exquisite gifts as cigars, mousetraps and toy guns provided plenty of fun. In January the girls visited a downtown office. Skits were presented on the behavior and du- ties of an office worker. Something different was attempted at one meeting as each girl told a joke in answer to roll call. Several comediennes were discovered!!! Then they tried a new game in which the girls were divided into two groups for timed writings, the team having the fewest typing errors winning. The year's activities. are culminated by award- ing, at the Recognition Assembly, a key to the outstanding commercial senior. The Commercial Club extends heartiest thanks and appreciation to Miss Rankin for her kindly and skillful guidance. President-Phyllis Damann Vice-President-Alice Adams Secretary-Delores Montoni Treasurer-Margie McMann Sponsor--Miss Rankin i ORDER OF BUSINESS EFFICIENCY This year the club chose to hold a meeting the fifth period every Thursday, rather than every other week as in the past. Membership consists of students who have par- ticipated in the Business Education World ser- vice awards and have earned senior certificates of achievement in bookkeeping or transcription. Members seek to further their knowledge of com- mercial work and to find ways to be of service to the school and the community. As an extra ef- fort, each girl secretly selected one particular teacher and tried to be of some help to that one. The girls proved themselves good salesladies when they offered for sale stationery. small ma- roon and white leather change purses in the shapes of footballs and basketballs, and little RN pins. A variety of successful sales were sponsored by O. B. E. during the year. These included a bake sale, a rummage sale and a sloppy joe sale. A Christmas gift exchange party was held at the president's home. At this party the club's alumni were invited to join in the fun. For a new type of entertainment, the girls traveled to Akron for a theater party, dining at Kaase's after the show. A St. Patrick's Day party proved to be plenty of fun, and to wind up the year the O. B. E. held its annual picnic. The Order of Business Efficiency wishes to express warmest thanks to Miss Miller for her ex- cellent leadership.

H. S. have had a full year of activities. First on the list was the addition of color to the cheering section with red and white crepe paper shakers. Next was the task of planning a caravan to the Falls game, for which we were re- warded with a complete victory by our heroes. Also on the calendar was that eXciting,'7 mar- velous, nerve-racking football assembly, which took place in those very new and clean uniforms . . . Clean, did you say??? Those spots are just in the material! Climaxing football season, Boost- ers and Hi-Y jointly sponsored the first Home- coming Dance in the history of R. H. S., with Queen Putsy Bissler and her attendants pre- W sented at the half-time ceremonies during the Shaker Heights game. During Christmas season, Hi-Y and Boosters together decorated the halls and the Christmas tree. To promote good citizenship, they aided Dental Week by a series of speeches given over the P. A., and they gave toys to the Welfare at Christmastime. On the social side, they entertained the Peppers from Kent State, held the annual Booster Private, and the Senior Boosters presented a steak dinner to their mothers at the traditional Mother-Daughter Banquet, held at the Vale Edge in Ravenna. It wasn't all fun - they took upon them- selves the task of decorating goal posts and boards for the games. To make money, they supervised a bake sale, a sloppy joe sale - which was too much slop and not enough Hdoughl' - and a pencil sale. Advised by Mrs. Richard Kilbourne, they had a year well-balanced between fun and hard work.

It all began in the spring of '4A8. For the first time in the grid history of Roosevelt, the football squad prepared for the coming season by holding spring training. This four weeks of intensified practice was climaxed by the Senior-Varsity game, in which the Seniors completely outclassed and de- feated the 148 varsity, 35-7. Hopes for the coming season were at a low ebb after this poor showing. Another first in gridiron history was estab- lished when Coach Wade Watts and his assistants, hir. Kilbourne and Mr. Mileski, planned and pro- duced a week of rugged conditioning at Camp Manatoc from September 1 to 5. These two new programs proved to be the main factors in the building of a successful team. However, all this fine work seemed in vain as the team made a poor showing and suffered defeat in a one-quarter preview fray at the hands of Ravenna, 7-0. Faith was restored once again as we downed a strong Ravenna Township eleven, 16-0. Con- tinuing along the victory trail, the Wattsmen avenged a loss from the previous year by defeat- ing an unusually weak North Canton team, 39-7. Overconfident after their two victories, the Teddies were defeated by a weak but inspired Maple Heights team, 20-19. They bounded back from this needless defeat to trounce a rugged Cuyahoga Falls eleven, 26-6. f - The following Friday the Riders hit the peak of perfection when they edged a previously un-- defeated, untied and unscored upon Ravenna pow- er by a score of 21-19. A well-perfected passing attack provided the margin of victory for Roosevelt as they downed a heavier Shaker Heights squad, 13-7. The team's trip to Toledo was very enjoyable with the exception of the 35-7 shellacking handed them by the Toledo Libbey team. During the last two games, the Riders went on a scoring spree by defeating Newton Falls, 4-6-19, and Kent State, 54-0, a total of 100 points. In the latter game the Blue Devils suffered the worst de- feat ever dealt by a Roosevelt football squad. This season was one of the most successful that Roosevelt has had of late years, both in victories and team enjoyment. Congratulations to the coaches for making the V18 football season some- thing to remember.

This custom of having two groups of cheerlead- ers was started so that freshman and sophomore girls could gain cheerleading experience and, at the same time. give stronger sup- port to the reserve basketball team. After serving two years as Reserve Cheerleaders. the girls automatical- ly become Varsity Cheerleaders in their iunior year. This year's group did a fine job in supporting their team. Before the reserve games even started, they were in there cheering the they were in there cheering, Next year Millie Clark and Yvonne Christopher will be the 'kveteransv of the reserve four. Varsity Cheerleaders - Leader- ship. beauty. personality. and spirit are the essentials for good cheer- leaders. That is why those at R. H. S. are tops. To these four elements should certainly be add- ed loyalty. for it's that extra little cheer when the chips are down that sends the team bouncing back to victory. Our hats are off to these classy lassies not only for this year's work but also for the last three years of service.

At times they looked like champions, but they rarely seemed to be able to keep up this type of play for more than one quar- ter. One quarter of good play is not long enough to win against many of the formidable foes such as the Teddies met this year. When the Roose- velt courtsters did play the good basketball that they were capable of, they won or came close to winning. The Riders were Mon often enough to win ten out of 22 games, including one tourna- ment game and the two non-scheduled games, Alumni and G. A. lVl. The Riders had some hot nights during the season. Akron Central, Alumni, Newton Falls, Kenmore, and Louisville were unfortunate enough to be opposing the Riders on five of these nights. At other times, the Roosevelt five dropped humil- iating games, such as Kent State the second time, Ravenna twice, Ellet, and North Canton. None of these games should have gone to the loss col- umn. The last three games of the year proved to be the best for the varsity. Louisville, a strong Can- ton district team, was edged by one point to fin- Y VIEWS ish the regular season. There the boys showed the real basketball that they had stored in them. In their first tournament game, they came from behind to wipe out a half-time deficit of 21-12 to down a fighting East team, 38-31. A second half of driving play by the Teddies provided the victory. To end the season, they lost a wonder- fully played game to an unbeaten Akron South. The Riders had the pleasure of making the South team play their hardest in what was supposed to be a walk-away. The team may not have been top-flight, but they had fun. Their spirit was of the finest. No matter what the record shows, it was a good year. R. H. S. 27-34 Gartield 39-30 G. A. M.

An outstanding year to say the least! Outstanding :luring the season was the never- giveefup spirit ol' the players. hlany times they were beliincl at the hall. only to come back and tight their way to victory. Nlost, of their games were close. very close. so close that two or three points either way meant victory or defeat. lt is harml to pick the best game of this spirited squad. Among the more brilliant conquests were Ravenna twice. Cuyahoga Falls once, and Louis- ville. All of these games were hard-fought, tight, games. But when the pressure was on, the re- serves were always at their best. It is this type ol' ball playing that will nlake them a great var- sitv squarl. Coach Kilbourne deserves a lot of credit for the ll'ElIIliS success this year. His double pivot with blocks rarely lailerl to provicle a victory. Coach Kilbourne worked constantly at improving his team. Noon practice was used for the first, time. This, on top of evening practice. gave the squad and the coach a full schedule of basketf ball. This extra practice helped the l02lII1iS play as the record shows. With this type of team coming back next year the basketball outlook ol' Roosevelt is very bright Congratulations to a fine team and a fine coach R. H. S. 2I-24 Garfield R. H.S. 28-26 Akron West R. H.
