ALLEN J. OAKUM MARY B. WALKER eciiwzfion We, the Class of 1950, wish to dedicate this Annual to our class advisors, Miss Mary B. Walker and Mr. Allen J. Oakum. In recognition of their years of service to the student body and to the school itself, we humbly offer this small token of our appreciation. VVe, especially, as the Senior Class, wish to thank them specifically for their service to us as advisors during 'this past year. They acted not just as sponsors but also as friends to whom we could turn when in need of help in solving our problems. Miss Walker, with whom most of us have be- come well acquainted through American History and United States government, has taught at Roosevelt for many years. She served as class sponsor and also directed the senior class play many times during her teaching career. This past year she directed our class play, L'Mother Is a Freshman, one of the most successful plays produced at Roosevelt in recent years. Besides all this, Miss Walker served as co-director of the operetta and advisor to the business staff of the Annual, a full-time job in itself. Mr. Oakum has been librarian for the past eight years, in which time he has become well- known to students and faculty alike. For several years, he was advisor to the Junior Class and in the past few years he has served as sponsor of the Senior Class. Mr. Oakum has supervised the pub- lication of the Rough Rider for the past three years. He is also faculty advisor of the Hi-Y, one of the most active clubs at Roosevelt. During the past year he directed the Hi-Y play, HMinor Miraclef' which achieved notable success. Mr. Oakum found time for all these activities in addi- tion to maintaining the library, one of the busiest places in the school. To be successful, it is necessary to have an inspirational force and expert guidance to aid in reaching the ultimate goal. So it is, that in the past year, Miss Walker and Mr. Gakum have enabled us to make a success of our Senior year through their guidance and example. We will not soon forget their service to us and we know that in future years they will go on serving the needs of other students to the best of their ability.
