I EX LIBRl 19 3 1 P0 L(5HEb kY THE SENIAR CLASS £F RAASEVELTHK3H SCHAAL- EAST CHKAGA INDIANA 1 3 1 Through all the years, since man first began his struggle with Nature for an existence, the harvest time has been a season for rejoicing and thanksgiving. The Round-Up is the harvest of the range. The tremendous tumult of a thousand pounding hoofs, the headlong rush of the cattle, the daring of the cowboys performing spectacular feats of great skill bring to a thrilling climax the year ' s activities. This Round-Up of 1931 is the harvest of the school years of this Senior class. Into the pages of this book we have gathered, through words and pictures, bits of our school life. As the harvester of old gave thanks, we, the class of ' 31, with gratitude to the school author- ities, the members of the faculty, the parents, and the citizens of this community who have aided us to follow the High School Trail, present our Round-Up of 1931. Gone are the days when the American cow- boy rode jauntily over the vast open ranges of God ' s Country. The jingle of his spurs, the creak of his leather gear and the beat of his horse ' s hoofs have faded away with the changing scene on the panorama of the plains. Iron rails have met the long trails to the round-up drive. Although cities have raised tall spires sky- ward where once the coyotes howled their woe- ful cries into night, the Spirit of the Old West is not gone. It has permeated into the thoughts and the lives of the American people. We have chosen the Spirit of the West as exemplified in the outstanding characteristic of the cowboy as the theme to link together the trails which lead through Round-Up 1931. His democratic attitude, his courage, and his spirit of friendly service are guide posts on these trails.

Clark, Head of the For- eign Language Department of the East Chicago Public Schools, this third edition of the Round- Up is respectfully dedicated. Mrs. Clark has given twenty years of her life to the teaching profession. Since the opening of Roosevelt in 1924, she has served the students of this high school as a faithful teacher. She has shown great interest in high scholarship and in all the activi- ties of the students. We consider it an unusual honor to dedicate this Round-Up to one whose energy has been devoted to and whose interest has been centered in the teaching of vouth.

Rough Riders from various ranches drove into the big corral or Roosevelt High. Their horses were stamping with eagerness to join the great throng that was about to start on the great unknown trail of L931. These riders felt ready and eager to ride that trail, to conquer difficulties, and to emerge victorious. The riders found the big corral changed. Its corridors had been repainted; the cafeteria was being tiled; the library Mb. Wilis H.is equipped with new riling cabinets; and new books had been added. A lew new linemen were introduced to the Riders. Mr. Fox was added to the faculty lor soc ,il .science and mathematics. Miss Cotter for English, Miss Fifield for art and Eng- lish. Mr. Matthews for industrial work, and Miss Mann as teacher of the opportunity class. When the second semester began, Miss Bonham took the place of Miss Giffin in the physical education department and Mr. Lidster became a member of the industrial staff. New faces were seen among the students, for the enrollment had increased greatly. After the first enrollment was taken, the office reported three hundred and forty-one Students in the Senior High School and seven hundred ninety-six in the Junior High, a total lit one thousand, one hundred thirty-seven, which was an increase of one hundred seventy-nine pupils over the enrollment in the years of nineteen twenty-nine and thirty. I here were two additions in the curriculur ol fered for the Inst time. Courses in German and in Health were Kiddies from Harrison found a temporary home in the corral until the new addition of Harrison was completed. Miss Spencer, the principal of Harrison, occupied the staff ol I ice. During part ot the second semester. Miss Hebert. maintained a class for children of defective vision. This was the first sight conservation class to be organized in the East Chicago Public Schools. One of the outstanding activities of the year was the frolic sponsored by the Seniors. I he cooperation of the faculty, parents, and friends made possible the success of this affair. I he funds procurred were given to the annual. The Rough Riders have now completed their journey up the Trail. The Round-Up is over. ith the true Rooseveltian spirit they journey on seeking new trails. Page Eighteen Two years ago, when Mr. Asbury resigned, the Board of Education of East Chicago consisting of Mrs. Bertha McQuaid, Mr. Grover C. Hansen, and Mr. Edwin Carlson elected Mr. John G. Rossman, who was at that time, the assistant superintendent of schools in our neighboring city, Gary, to become our new superintendent of schools. Since the fall of 1929, Mr. Rossman has labored success- fully to raise the standards and to increase the usefulness of Mr. Rossman our city schools. At the request of this Round-Up staff he has kindly written this message which he calls Theodore Roosevelt ' s Round-Up. Asthmatic. Suffering from defective vision. Blinded during his later years in one eye. Weak physically as a child. Vigorous and most energetic as a man. Determined. Self-controlled. Ambitious. Honest. Courageous. Aggressive. Self-confident. Possessing a sense of humor. A product of aristocracy. Born to wealth and social posi- tion. A friend of warriors, cardinals, cowboys, prize fighters, savants, farmers, engineers, big and little business men, common folk and high brow. The idol of millions. Pro- gressive. Gargantuan in his capacity for work. Magnanimous. And withal unselfish and democratic. Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt made the harvest of his years ring true. He did not permit his early ill health to defeat him. He was not satisfied to abide leisurely in the station his wealth and social position placed him. He did not turn back in the face of numerous defeats. He writes of ' Interminable, grimy drudgery; painful months of marching and skirmishing, most indecisive; victories never taking place unless there is plenty of this disagreeable preliminary work ' . Theodore Roosevelt desired his harvest to be honesty and efficiency in government. He sowed such seeds in all of his words and actions. When he took up his ' big suck ' the ' malefactors of great wealth ' were ' whipped to a frazzle. ' When he said ' My hat is in the ring ' or ' I feel like a bull moose, his enemies trembled. They knew that ' Armaged- don ' was before them. He reaped a bounteous harvest in achievement for his fellow men and his government. The Foreword of this year ' s Round-Up mentions ' The Harvest of the Year. ' May that harvest for each Roosevelt student be ' Rooseveltian ' . John G.

Vore Page Twenty- THE ENGLISH A Youthful Patrick Henry The department of English covers a wide variety of subjects which are very necessary to the development of students. Grammar, speech, composition, literature, journalism and drama are offered by this department. Many people consider English one of the most important subjects taught in the high school curriculum. Grammar is given in order to teach students the science of the English language and to drill them in the proper usage of their language. The study of speech helps the students to overcome self-consciousness and gives them poise and practice in correct oral speech. Composition instructs pupils in the funda- mentals of rhetoric and composition in order that all may express themselves in wri ting and that any who have literary talent may cultivate that gift. Literature is taught to aid students to appreciate and to enjoy literary art. Journalism helps students express themselves in concise style and teaches them journalistic forms. Drama inspires students to appreciate the stage and dramatic art. Courses in General English, in American and English literature, in public speaking and in English grammar are required for graduation. Drama and journalism are elective. Journalism is relatively new in the curriculum at Roosevelt. This course serves as a training school for publication work. Students are selected from this class to work on the school paper. In the last few years, public speak- ing has increased in importance. This class studies debate, formal and informal speeches, dramatization and interpretive reading. The full time English instructors are Miss Swatts, Miss Cotter, Miss Hawkins and Mr. Tullis. Miss Murphy, Miss Reifel and M iss Marshall are part time English teachers. Page Twenty-two THE Fn DEPARTMENT Veni, Vidi, Vinci The foreign language department of Roosevelt High School includes courses in Latin, French, and German. At present, four years of Latin are offered. This course of study includes Prepara- tory Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. The values obtained from the study of Latin are many. Better understanding of English grammar, memory drill, and word derivation are the chief aids obtained from two years study. If, howover, the student takes the four year course, he gets a wider view of ancient history and mythology, becomes pro- ficient in reading the classical language and receives valuable mental training. The French course of study offers three years work. The purpose of this course is to teach the students to read and to speak French. French composition and grammar are studied in the first two years. In order to become familiar with the spoken language, French conversations are held twice a week. The advanced classes read such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. For the first time in the history of Roosevelt, a course in German is offered. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the pupils with the German language so that they will become accomplished in reading and speaking it. A two or three years course will be offered if there is a demand. In conjunction with this course a German Club has been organized which does many interesting things. The members sing German songs, discuss customs of the German people and play games involving German con- versation. Two years of foreign language are required for graduation in , the college preparatory course. The members of the faculty who teach in the foreign language department are: Mrs. Clark, Latin and German; Miss Murphy, Latin; and Miss Marshall, French. Page Twenty-three THE MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the foundation of science, music, art, and astronomy. It is practical in every day life and in various professions and trades. Mathematics trains one to think things through, to be mentally alert and accurate. Q. E. D. The curriculum of the Mathematics Department is designed to fit the needs of all pupils. The following courses are offered: one year of related mathematics, one year of general arithmetic, two years of general mathematics, one year of algebra, one year of plane geometry, a semester of trigonometry, and a semester of college algebra. The course in related mathematics is offered to vocational students. It is designed to give them training in the type of mathematics needed in their shop work and in t heir vocation. General arithmetic is offered principally to students who are taking General or Commercial courses. The students who are taking the college preparatory courses are required to study general mathematics in the junior high school and algebra and plane geometry in senior high. Solid geometry, trigonometry and college algebra are electives. Students who plan to attend college are advised to take at least one elective course. The Mathematics Department of Roosevelt entered some students in a State Math contest. In the elimination contest held at Roosevelt, Steve Adamec won first place and Jeanette Castle came in second. These two students then , entered the county contest at Gary. Steve received first place. He had sixty-two more points than the Merriville girl who received sec- ond place. Jeanette received third place. The members of the Mathematics de- partment are Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Henry, Miss Shields and Miss Darragh. Mr. Murphy Miss Shields. Miss Darragh, Mrs. Henry Page Twenty-four Exploring Unknown Wonders THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT What a marvelous age we ' re living in! This expres- sion is heard often and is indeed true. If one considers the amazing development of science in the last century. he is filled with wonder. The many great inventions which we use and enjoy are stupendous in their magnitude and revolutionizing force. To give the student an appreciation of scientific work and an appreciation of life, itself, is the chief aim of the science department. Science is taught in the public schools to acquaint the pupils with the fundamentals of life, with the laws which govern die universe, and with their environment so that they may learn to adjust themselves to life and to improve their manner of living. Valuable mental training is received in studying science, for science trains the mind to think systematically. Students find many practical applications which they may use after their study of science is complete. One year of general science, physics, chemistry and biology and one semester of health are included in the curriculum of the science department. General Science gives a general scientific knowledge and is an introduction to the other science courses. Students who are planning to go to college are advised to study either physics or chemistry. In physics students study electricity, light, heat, mechanics and sound. Chemistry explains the chemical composition of matter and chemical changes. Botany is a study of plant life. Zoology discusses animal life. A course in health was added to the scientific cur- riculum this year. This course teaches the importance of health and how to se- cure and maintain healthy bodies. Mr. Apostle, Miss Cohen, and Miss West compose the teaching staff of the science department. Page Twenty-jive THE VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT Glorified Work The Industrial and Vocational departments of Roosevelt have assumed greater im- portance in the last few years than ever before. The need for courses of practical value has become increasingly urgent. For this reason the industrial department has been enlarged and improved. The classes in this department have increased from five to seven, thes shops from three to five. A large amount of modern equipment has been added. The boys in the Junior High School are required to take a finding or exploration course. This course gives the boys general instruction in many industrial arts so that they may discover the type of work in which they would like to specialize. This course includes instruction in woodwork, sheet metal, concrete, household mechanics, printing, mechanical drawing, wood finishing, cabinet making, and machine shop. Boys who do not follow the academic course, may take an Industrial Arts course or the Vocational course. In the Industrial Arts course the boys take one hour of shop work a day, while in the Vocational course they take three hours a day. Classes which are offered in specialized work are: Printing, mechanical drawing, woodwork, machine shop, cabinet making and auto mechanics. An apprentice course was added in nineteen thirty. In this course a student is em- ployed in an industry and comes to school one day a week. On this day, he takes related drawing and other related aca- demic subjects. The teaching staff of the vocational department has greatly increased in the last few years. It now has eight members —Mr. Bunker, Mr. Brown, Mr. Miller, Mr. Maury, Mr. Rohm, Mr. Ferguson, Mr - B T , r - B ker Mr u Ferg ° n ' D M u r - Maury Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Lidster. Mr. Miller, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Rohm. ' Page Twenty-six THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Changing World It is the purpose of all education to prepare young people to live useful and satis- fying lives. Since society is ever in the process of becoming something else, never really- beginning or ending, it is the particular province of the Social Studies to leave the pupil at the end of his school course, with a vision of whence he came, whither he is going, and what he ought to do while he is going. Social Studies deal with man and his activities. Geography, History of the United States, Community Life and Civic Problems, and Physical Geography are required courses in the Junior High School. In the Senior High School, World History — Ancient, Medieval, and Modern European History — History of the United States, Government, Economics, and Sociology are offered. These courses are planned to give the student a greater appreciation of his country, its resources, its people, its history and its government; to give him an understanding of the past and present; to broaden his knowledge of other countries; to give him a chance to understand the people and customs of other nations; and to teach him ideals of citizenship which will aid him in taking his place as an American citizen when his high school days are over. World History, History of the United States, Government, and Economics are required for graduation in the College Preparatory course. Sociology, which deals with society and its problems, is elective. The members of the Social Science faculty are: Mr. Anderson, Miss Owen, Miss Reifel, Miss Spector, Miss Mann, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Haynes. Page Twenty-seven On the Wings of Music THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music department is divided into two parts — the instrumental and vocal departments. Both of these depart- ments have shown surprising development. Six years ago a small group of boys were brought to- gether in rehearsal as the first Roosevelt band. For a time they practiced under great difficulty. They had no regular time, were without adequate equipment and had no uni- forms. Gradually the band grew. New equipment was added; uniforms were pur- chased; and the band began to appear in public, at school functions and in parades. Frorr a small beginning, the instrumental department has had unusual development. A begin- ners ' band of forty pieces, a Cadet Band of fifty pieces, a Cadet Orchestra of thirty pieces, a Concert Orchestra of forty pieces, a Girls ' Band of forty-five pieces and a Boys ' Concert Band of sixty pieces are included in the instrumental department. Classes of cornet, clarinet, viola, cello and string bass are offered during school hours. In the vocal department Junior Chorus work for seventh and eighth grades is offered. This organization is the training center for the high school glee clubs. The vocal organizations for High School students have increased in membership approximately three times. For the girls a large chorus was organized from which a Madrigal Club was selected. Both groups have made many public appearances. There are two glee clubs for boys — the Varsity and Cadet. Greater interest was shown this year in the Boys ' Glee clubs th.i befc Boroughs The Mixed Chorus had seventy-two members. From this group an A Cap- pella Choir was selected. Both organiza- tions did excellent work. Mr. White, Mr. Boroughs, Miss Clark and Mr. Preston are the instructors in the music department. Page Twenty-eight Playing the Game THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Physical Education is that part of the educational process which employs health supervision and control, in- struction in applied hygiene, and organization and leader- ship of big muscle activity as the means to secure develop- ment of the inherent powers needed to reach the aim of education, which is social adjustment. Physical Education should play an important part in the school curriculum. This department offers courses to benefit all students, irrespective of their athletic ability. The importance of training in physical education classes cannot be overestimated for this training tends to improve the health of the individual. School authorities and parents have learned that a brilliant mind is worthless in an unhealthy body. Physical fitness is of vast importance to the student. Gymnasium work is required in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. It is elective through the rest of high school. The regular gym classes enjoy indoor baseball, basketball, hockey, wrestling, acro- batic stunts, volley ball, speed ball and other games. Achievement tests in high jump, broad jump, baseball throw, football kick, shot put, hurdles, and in other gymnastic feats are given each semester. Students who have a special interest and ability in athletics may become members of the school teams and in this way improve their ability. Through such participation they learn valuable lessons iri team work, leadership, loyalty and co-operation. The boys may go out for football, basketball, wrestling, track, cross country and tennis. The girls may take part in basketball, hockey, baseball, track, swimming and tennis. The members of the physical educa- tion department faculty are Mr. Austin, Miss Overpeck, Mr. Williams, and Miss Bonham. Page Twenty-nine ft THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT But every house where Love abides. And Friendship is a guest. Is surely home and home-sweet-home: For there the heart can rest. Dyke A Future Home-Maker To teach the girls the meaning of a real home and to aid them to be real home- makers is the desire and aim of the Home Economics Department. Much thought and study is given to the individual needs of the girl. An attempt is made to improve her appearance, health, personality, and standards of living. The courses offered are designed to meet the present needs of the girl and to prepare her future life. The training the girl receives supplements the training she has received in the home. She is taught how to do the tasks necessary for keeping a house in an efficient manner. The clothing courses teach the girls how to do plain sewing and do it well; to know something of the line and color suited to the individual; to purchase materir wisely; and to repair and make over old garments. The cooking courses teach meal preparation, meal planning, food value, table service, the cost of food and ways to buy economically. All Senior girls are required to take a Home Making course. This course includes units on personality, the home and family, child care, various labor saving devises in the home, economy in housekeeping, and etiquette. An elective course in advanced cook- ing is offered. In this course the wirls learn to cook various delicacies — fancy pastries, cakes, and candies. Miss Alice Williams of the Sewing department and Miss Ann Brazzill of the Cooking department are the mem- bers of the Home Economics staff. Williams, Miss Brazzill Page Thirty THE ART DEPARTMENT The primary purpose of teaching Art in the public schools is to develop the artistic ability in the student and to enlarge his appreciation for beauty. Seeking the Beautiful Art is required in the Junior High School but is elective in High School, with the exception of the Interior Decoration course which girls are required to take before they are graduated. The seventh and eighth grades study perspective, color, lettering, design, landscaping, chalk and water color, composition, commercial lettering and posters. The advanced classes find interesting and practical work in planning and executing the art work for the Round-Up, in making many attractive posters to advertise various school functions and in studying costume designing, commercial art and modeling. The Interior Decoration course is valuable to the future home makers. Here the girls study balance, proportion, emphasis, rhythm, harmony, and a proper use of color in the home. The class carries out many practical projects and learns to manipulate and apply art fundamentals which aid them to make their homes more beautiful. Many talented students have been discovered this year. One student has shown a great deal of skill in modeling. He has made many excellent soap carvings. The finest of these is a study of a lion. He has also created a plaster paris figure of a Roman soldier pushing a ramrod. Another student has become very skillful in making wood blocks. These are used in the Rough Writer. Two boys of the Junior High School have made some very excellent drawings in perspective. Many good looking imi- tation tapestries were made by the eighth grade girls. The Art instructors are Miss Fifielc and Mr. Poage. Page Thirty- The Perfect Balance — Health THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT The Health Department is an important agency in the school, for health is an extremely important factor in aid- ing one to live a happy and useful life. The purpose of the health department, stated briefly, is to render first aid in case of emergencies; to prevent the spread of contagious diseases; and to advise students how to keep physically fit. A large, light room, which is kept in immaculate order, has been established on the first floor as a clinic. Here the nurse presides. Yearly examinations are recommended to all students. Through examinations, the individual can prevent serious disease by discovering minor ailments in their beginning. Thorough examinations are given every fall to all students desiring them. All pupils in gym classes or participants in any sport are required to take physical examinations. Vaccination is another important method of preventing disease. The doctor vaccinates any student who desires this service. Many pupils have taken advantage of this oppor- tunity to improve health. The application of first aid is often necessary in accidents which occur in athletics, especially in football, basketball and wrestling. The admitting of all pupils who have been absent because of illness is the most important work of the nurse. She also makes home calls at the request of the principal and in the annual health contest gives valuable aid in determining the Health Queen. The Health staff is composed of the nurse, Mrs. Alice McMahon and Dr. Hugh Vore, the doctor and medical ad- visor for the East Chicago public schools. The nurse is in the building every after- noon during the week and every Satur- day morning. The doctor calls once a week and is subject to call at any :ime. Page Thirty-two Joy in the Quiet Hours THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT When the McKinley students first marched up to the new Roosevelt School, they found a large room on the first floor designated as the Library. Here were glass en- closed cases for books and a spacious brick fireplace. Only one thing was disappointing. There were no books on the shelves. However, Miss Hawkins was placed in charge of the library and soon a small collection of books was made available to the students. In this same year a sum of money was granted to start the book collection. In the early days of the school, the library was also used as a band room during part of the day, and Miss Hawkins was in charge the rest of the time. Later it was necessary to have classes, in study supervision, use the room. However, when the new wing of the building was completed, the bands moved into their own quarters and the Library became a full time Library with Miss Larson as the librarian. New shelves, new books, a vertical file and a catalog case were added to the equipment. Today, the library together with the departmental classroom libraries, contains ap- proximately three thousand volumes. The average monthly circulation for this year was seven hundred books. In study periods students are allowed to use the library to look up material which has been assigned them. About two hundred students come to the Library each day to do this. In this way the Library is an important supplement to the other courses of the school. The Library also aids students to spend their leisure time in an enjoyable way. Roosevelt students have learned to value the old adage Books are one ' s best friends. Miss Larson is the school Librarian. Tbirty-thi ■ THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Business Efficiency Roosevelt High School is situated in a great industrial region. For this reason there is great demand for people who have been efficiently trained for business. It is with this aim in mind that the commercial department functions. A two-year commercial course is offered to students interested in office work. In this course Shorthand, Typing, Bookkeeping, Business Practice, Commercial Law, Business English, Rapid Calculation and Penmanship are studied. At the completion of this course a certificate is granted. This certificate asserts that the student has completed the two-year course and is ready to fill a position. A student who graduates from this course must be able to type at the rate of fifty words per minute and to take one hundred words of shorthand dictation a minute. In order to gain practical experience, the student is required to do work in the office and to do work for the members of the faculty. Many pupils who are not taking the regular two-year commercial course find Typing and Shorthand very practical in whatever field of work they enter. The members of the commercial faculty do their best to aid the graduate students to get positions. It has been found that most of the factories require an employee to be eighteen years of age and to be a high school graduate. Many students, however, are able to get good positions after taking the two-year course. Tap — tap — tap — space, tap — tap — tap — space. These sounds can be heard i ' i the typing room as hundreds of fingers keep time to the rhythm records played on the new phonograph. Miss Carlos, Miss Blumenthal and Mr. Dennis are the commercial faculty. Page Thirty-fo L A SENIORS The C. Mc Lively, likeable, inde- pendent.

CLASS HISTORY We, the Senior Class of 1931, entered this Roosevelt corral as yearlings, Septe mber, 1925. As Freshmen we endured the initiation as all Freshmen must, fearfully but in antici- pation of our turn. Thus we passed the first milestone. At the beginning, we were not organized as a class, but in the Sophomore year the following class officers were elected: Vernon Rodda, President; Kathryn Blazevich, Vice- President; and Kathryn Silagy, Secretary-Treasurer. The next year we came back to elect Tom Morris President; Ray Gauthier, Vice- President and Jean Olson, Secretary-Treasurer. The class as a whole revealed unusual pep and enterprise in electing its representatives, Esther Smyers and Ray Gauthier, in the all school King and Queen contest. The Junior representatives were crowned Royal Rulers of Roosevelt on the night of the 1929 Frolic. During the year we enjoyed several successful parties culminating in the Junior Prom which was the outstanding event of the year. As a Senior Class a fine spirit of cooperation was shown in all activities. We main- tained a record of one hundred per cent in banking which was envied by all classes. Our initiative was challenged when the class voted to ask the Faculty for permission to put on the Annual Frolic. The members worked diligently and appreciated the cooperation of the Faculty. The proceeds from this were used to finance the Round-Up. The class did another unusual thing when it presented the Annual Senior Play Peg ' O My Heart two times, each time with a different cast. The class motto is Esse quam videri malumus, We prefer to be rather than io seem. The flower is the forget-me-not and the colors are blue and silver. We are now at the end of the trail — we leave Roosevelt with regret — but we are look- ing for new trails to conquer and for happiness. Page Forty-jo Mr. Apostle We, the class of 1931, wish to express to our sponsors, Miss Carlos and Mr. Apostle, our appreciation for all their efforts in aiding and directing the progress of our class during these high school years. We feel that we owe them a vote of thanks for all the work they have done. We will always remember these sponsors with appreciation. Miss Carlos is the sponsor of the 12A1 section. During the Senior year she aided this section in obtaining a one hundred per cent banking average. In her gentle, friendly way, she has helped students to overcome difficulties through giving good advice. Miss Carlos has done her bit toward helping finance the Round-Up by sponsoring the selling of candy during the noon hours in the last semester of the year. Mr. Apostle has been the sponsor of the 12A2 section since the eighth grade. He has aided this section in its maintenance of one hundred per cent in banking for the last three years. Besides being an adviser, Mr. Apostle has been a comrade and has helped in trials and in attaining the high standards for which the section is well known. He has also worked diligently as the financial advisor of the Round-Up. Page Forty-fn JUNIOR CLASS Kmak, Dziedziak, Surofka, Dzczepanski. Sullivan, Walsh, Kris jff.

Page Fifty-six INSIDE THE CORRAL Page Fifty-seven Trail II«School Life GUIDEPOST-COURAGE That courageous spirit gained from the strength of the hills, essentially the spirit of the West, is the spirit which characterizes the life of the Roosevelt High School students. Courage to tackle problems, to struggle until the goal is won ami to keep on struggling when failure comes is developed through the varied activities of school life. L L o ■tf k Sife  £W 1 Jse! ; .

June Petersen President Constance Kellam Vice President Silvia Petersen .... Secretary-Treasurer The many activities of this club prove that the girls of Roosevelt are not the least active sex. The organization is composed of girls from the Junior and Senior classes. Since many of the members graduated in nineteen-thirty, it was necessary to initiate about twenty new members at the beginning of the year. This year, with the aid of the Women ' s Club, the organization entertained sixty little tots at a Christmas party. Santa Claus was present and sent each child home with a toy, an orange, and some warm clothing. To commemorate Mother ' s Day, a tea was given on May seventh for the Mothers of the members. It has been a custom in Roosevelt for the Edita members to give a reception for the girls of the graduating class. This was held June second and was enjoyed by the guests. The club ended the school year with a picnic at the Dunes on May twenty-eighth.

Secretary-Treasurer The Masquenon Club was formed this year as a combination of the two senior dramatic clubs, the Emanon and the Masqueraders. When the new club was organized, the two names were combined to form the name Masquenon. This organization ' s aim is to study the various dramatic forms. It has studied, during the club hour, examples of tragedy, comedy, debating, various things concerning play production, sets, stage arrangements and the technical language of the stage. It has had for its programs, one-act plays which were given by the members, a talk on the Art of Malce-Up by Mr. Haynes, a talk on the Origin of the Drama by Emilie Cheek and several recitations by talented members. The club party was enjoyed by the large number who attended. At this party the radio was used for the first time. This made the cost of the party much lower and gave more opportunity for refreshments and decorations. Page Sixty-three Blatz, Bielecki, Lehmann, Kiernan, Sheets.

Treasurer Debating has not been as prominent in the student life of Roosevelt as it is in most larger high schools. The Forum Literary Society is trying to interest a small group of students in forensic activities. The main purpose of the club this year has been to train a debating team to compete with outside schools. The club feels that in later life, a large part of success in business depends upon the ability to speak before an audience with freedom and ease. At the beginning of the year, a new constitution was drawn up to meet the changes in the club. Later, an elimination debating contest to select the best debators in the club was started. To secure additional material for reference work, the members held a candy sale early in the year. The candy was made by the boys and by interestd, kind mothers. In future years the club hopes to produce teams which will be able to contest with the best teams in this region. Sixty-four Byman, Blatz, Mr. Apostle, Kovach, Savag Olson, J. Petersen, Kellam.

Lawrence Blatz President Joseph Nesbit Vice President June Petersen _: Secretary Jean Olson Treasurer The Science Club is an auxiliary of the Physics, Chemistry and General Science courses in the school. It is for the students who wish to obtain more than classroom knowledge of the scientific viewpoint. To belong to this club a student must have made a satisfactory grade in one of the courses of the Department. The members perform, during the club hour, experiments not usually included in the curricula of the laboratory. A wider attitude of research than is possible in the class- room is maintained through the activities of this club and scientific data is studied with more detailed consideration. Problems from the leading scentific magazines are discussed in the hour. Trips to the surrounding factories, mills and refineries are open to the members of the club. Some have taken advantage of this fact and have derived beneficia knowledge through the courtesy of the East Chicago Industries. Two new members, John Rossman and Donald Bickell, were initiated into the club at mid-semester. o i ge Sixty-five V. Delia Chiesa, Wheeler, Fuzy, Miss Reifel, O ' Malley, Repka, E. Delia Chiesa. M.

When time has passed and we are far away, O Girl Reserves the thought of thee will bring us near in spirit to each other Spur us to stronger effort thro ' each day, On to do and dare and keep thy vision true along life ' s way. The Senior Girl Reserves had as their motto this year: A Service Project every Month. The girls found joy in giving a Thanksgiving Party for the Harrison children, in filling Christmas stockings for the Community Chest and in distributing baskets of food to unfortunate families. In these ways the girls endeavored to live up to the Girl Reserve ideals. In March the Senior girls gave the largest Recognition S ervice in the history of the school. Seventy new members were made Girl Reserves. Fifty of these are now members of the active Junior Girl Reserve organization.

SENIOR HI-Y Robert Manaugh President Clifford Freiberger Vice President John Riccomini Secretary John Brxa Treasurer Good Fellowship is one of the aims of the Hi-Y. Another is to extend and maintain throughout the community, high standards of Christian living. The club is a junior division of the national Y. M. C. A. Representative men of the community have spoken during the club hour on subjects of vocational information, community activity, citizenship an d religious education. Dele- gates from Roosevelt High School attended the state Hi-Y convention at Indianapolis. The organization hopes to hold, from time to time, joint meetings with other Hi-Y clubs in the region. The members hope to foster better relationships and to exchange ideas helpful to its work in the school at these meetings. The club members are endeavoring to set examples of good citizenship in the school and to make an effort to maintain high standards of right living. The organization has grown this year and has become an influential factor in the life of the school. %e Sixty-. Linman, Bogus, Bielecki, Harvin, Kerr, Zerles, Gee, Kristoff, King.

The Mixed Chorus is a lively organization of seventy-two members which is trying to say something musically. Earlv in the year the club desired to have some type of uniform for public appear- ances. It decided to purchase robes and to make money for them in a series of candy sales and a bake sale. The organization made its first appearance in the new robes at the second general teachers ' meeting in the Washington Auditorium. The chorus not only made a stunning appearance in the long grey academic robes, but also sang with artistic feeling. The club made many other public appearances throughout the year. It sang carols at the Vesper Services of the Women ' s Club, it journeyed to Washington to sing at an assembly, it sang at the annual Music Concert and at the Music Festival in Gary.

Manager Marguerite Faerber .Librarian Madelyn Tobin Assistant Librarian Vivian Delia Chiesa Secretary-Treasurer Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh! To the uninitiated one, these sounds issuing from a school room, might forbode dire punishment, but the wary would soon explain that it is merely the members of the Girls ' Glee Club practicing their vocal calisthenics. This organization of girls from the Senior High School is not only a club but it is also a medium of training for the Mixed Chorus and the Madrigal Club. The mem- bers learn the fundamentals of proper singing. The Glee Club made its first appearance at the Parent Teachers ' Association where it sang My Johnny Was a Shoemaker. It has sung several times in the assemblies. In the Annual Music Concert the organization sang In the Country, a Belgian folk song. Throughout the year it has become familiar with the folk tunes of many nations. From this club, thirty-six girls are chosen for their outstanding work to form the Madrigal Club. $1 Page Sixty-nine z ft t « fe ■■•■ . - Jc Mr. Boroughs, Davis, Marshall, Brown, Ku Spero, Ostrowski, Weinstein, Pitzele, Quinn, Navarre, Skoczewski, Romanak, Barnes, Misner, Tudor, Wells, Morris, Misner, Fulka, Hinkle, Rossman, Hartley, Morris, Sitko, Capazzani, Soderstrom.

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS IN B CLASS CONCERT ORCHESTRA Few schools of our size can boast such a well-trained organization as the Roosevelt Orchestra. Its finished performances are always sure to please the audience. It has fulfilled quite a mission in the school life of Roosevelt. It fosters a better understanding and appreciation of concert music and it provides musical accompani- ments for the Operetta and the Junior and Senior plays, tasks which involve many hours of preparation. The Orchestra has gradually increased from a small organization until now it has a total of forty-four pieces. This year, it won the right to represent East Chicago at LaFayette in the State Contest. There, against much competition, it won first place. The splendid community spirit of the citizens of East Chicago enabled the Orchestra to enter the National Contest in Cleveland where it won first place in the B class. The Orchestra has studied compositions of the following orchestra composers: Mozart, Schubert, Bizet, Rubenstein, Von Suppe, Friml, Cajani, Thomas and Haydn.

THE ROUND-UP STAFF With last year ' s Ail-American heritage to spur it on the 1931 Annual Staff started work with high hopes. To aid in the huge task of compiling the book, students not on the staff were procured. An efficient art staff was secured in Spencer Davis, Rose Murphy, Fred Layer, Walter Furman, Mildred Marshall, Donna Angers and Henry Biedinger. The business staff worked hard and, in spite of the recent business depression, made the Annual a financial success. Vita Biggins and Chester Bielecky, Assistant Circulation Managers, Dolores Martin, Polly Bielecky, Thelma Ickes, Elizabeth Santon, Madelyn Tobin, Adele Kerr, Andrew Kovach, William Cavanaugh, Bruno Zandy and Matthew Ostrowski aided the Circulation Manager. Clarence Smith was the Assistant Humor Editor. Mr. Brown of the printing department gave valuable advice which aided the staff to solve the printing problems of this book. Members of the staff who merit recognition for outstanding work are Silvia Peter- sen, Constance Kellam, Peter Sterling, June Petersen, Alice Cranmer, Spencer Davis, Mildred Dennison, Harry Makowski, and Andrew Harvin.

In January the sponsors decided to make it a four-page weekly. The staffs all cooperated to publish the paper promptly on every Friday morning. New printing equipment and an advanced printing class have made this possible. The paper has been made more interesting to the student body by the introduction of many new and clever ideas. Mr. Brown has selected for recognition these students, who have done outstanding work, on the Business and Printing Staffs: Clifford Carmichael, John Davis and John Kersnosky. On the Editorial Staff, the sponsor, Miss Reifel, chose the following students who merit commendation: Clifford Carmichael, Charles Cavanaugh, George Deak, John Bogus, George Linman, Helen Dan, Anne Trtan, Julia Stiglitz, Sylvia Blatz, Eloise Medley and Dallas Lehman. Students who worked on the Rough Writer Staff were required to have made an E grade in English XIII. Staff members, through cooperation with the office, were given three hours credit for their work.

The triumph over Emerson was the high light of the season. The Rough Rider squad of ninety-thirty was the lightest and least experienced foot- ball team produced by Roosevelt. These gridders may have been light and inexperienced, but they made up for it with speed, courage and persistency instilled into them by Coach Austin. Catholic Central w-as the first victim of this Roose- velt team. The score — ninety-three to nothing — will be a mark for future Rough Rider teams to surpass. The next two games won were with the Hammond Wildcats and Morgan Park of Chicago. The Morgan Park game was the first nocturnal game played by the Rough Riders.

Then came the Emerson game. Nothwithstanding the dedication jinx, the fighting Rough Riders beat Emerson — the Indiana State Champions of that year. The victory was costly, since several regulars were injured. A win over Whiting and defeats handed by Horace Mann and Pullman Tech left the Roosevelt team preparing for the city championship game with Washington. The Rough Riders went down fighting in the first defeat handed to them by Washington since Roosevelt became a high school. This was our final conference game and tied us in third place in our division. The men who have ended their football careers at Roosevelt are Pigago, Hizsnyik, Justine, Kocal, Strom, T. Morris, L. Morris, Mnich, Leskosky, Sullivan, Savage, and Hane. With the wealth of excellent material available and the excellent coaching of Mr. Williams, the freshmen were able to go through the season undefeated. They won six games. Page Eighty- nine THE GRIDIRON MEN TOM MORRIS Tom played halfback and was always ready to go and do his best. He was an unerring blocker and proved a threat to many teams. CHARLES HIZSNYIK Chuck ' s services to the squad were invaluable. He was shifty and fast, and punted and passed frequently. He is ineligible for further competi- LELAND MORRIS Lee filled the guard position. He was strong at running interference and blocking. He will play on the Michigan City School team this fall. LOUIS LESKOSKY Louis played his first year of football competi- tion as guard. He was a dependable lineman and was always doing his share. ED SULLIVAN Although Ed was not a regular performer, he played enough games to earn his monogram. He had the weight and power which makes valuable JOE DIMICHELLI Although Joe didn ' t play in the required num- ber of games, he was awarded a football mono- gram for his determination, persistancy and grit. WALTER DZIEDZIAK Walter had the misfortune of breaking hi; arm in the first game of the season. However he will be back next year at his end position. JOHN SUCHAN Tiny was a hard fighter and especially good at bucking the line. He weighed two hundred thirty pounds and his weight was a great barrier for his opponents. DON HANE Don will be remembered for his hard blocking and charging. Besides being a main cog in the offense, his vicious tackling marked him as a stellar performer on defense. Page A ' nety OUR ROUGH RIDERS WALTER ROSPOND Walt proved an expert at snatching passes. His chief asset — speed — aided him in covering punts. He will be a decided aid on next year ' s squad.

The Rough Riders won two and lost four conference games, which placed them in fifth in their division of the Big Seventeen conference. There were three outstanding triumphs during the season. They were against Green- castle, Horace Mann and Washington. Greencastle was runner-up in the state tourna- ment. Horace Mann represented our section in the state finals, but earlier in the season Roosevelt eked out a nineteen to sixteen victory from them. In the tournament the Rough Riders trimmed Washington, the conference winners. Walter Rospond was the leading scorer with a total of one-hundred-seventeen points. Joe Justine and Fred Strom ranked next in scoring. The players lost to the team are Art Gee, Fred Strom, Harry Personett, Joe Justine and William Cavanaugh.

Fifth place in Conference. The Rough Riders ' basketball team proved the spectacular representatives of the school in the tournament this year. The Riders won their way into the finals. To enter the finals the purple and white had to beat Calumet Township, Lew Wallace and Washington. These games were so fiercely fought that the Rough Riders were nearly exhausted in their final game with Horace Mann. Roosevelt disposed of Calumet Township, its first tournament game, in a one-sided struggle. The fray with Lew Wallace was not such easy going. The Hornets held the lead at the half, but the Rough Riders made a nice comeback in the second half. This won the game. Our offense was working to perfection. The result was a twenty-three to twenty triumph for the Rough Riders over the Washington Senators. The weary Riders fell before the powerful Horace Mann team in the final game.

Fur- thermore, his spirit kept up the morale of the ARTHUR GEE Captain Gee ' s main value lies offensive work. He played cente and did fine work at both posts. excellent forward WADE WYATT Coming to the fore in the early part of the season as a fast and aggressive center, Wyatt was put out of play during several games with an attack of flu. FRED STROM Fred played guard and forward positions with equal ability, understanding the principals of both positions. He graduates in June. JOE JUSTINE Joe ' s position was guard, and this he fulfilled in a commendable manner. His defensive work attracted much attention in the sectional tourna- RAY KMAK Ray played the pivot position. His work was fast and his passing accurate. In addition, his scoring ability was notable. WALTER ROSPOND Walter ' s accurate shooting, clever floor work and untiring ability have been mainstays for the varsity. He has another year of basketball com- petition. WILLIAM CAVANAUGH Bill ' s clear headedness and ability to refrain from becoming excited has proved a decided aid in many games. He was noted for uncanny accuracy on long shots. Page Ninety-four HONOR MEN STANLEY KOCAL Stan was a regular on the wrestling team for three years. He was elected captain for the nineteen- thirty team and was the conference champion in the one hundred forty-five pound division. CLIFF FRIEBERGER Cliff, the captain of the nineteen twenty-nine wrestling team, has given three years of service to the wrestling team. He was conference winner in the one hundred thirty-five pound class. HAROLD LAYER Although Hadie was a new comer in the wrestling squad he learned the principals of the sport and won the conference championship in the one hundred twenty-five pound class. JOE JUSTINE Joe celebrated his first and last year on the varsity by being named on the all -tournament team. His stellar performances at the guard position attracted much attention throughout the season. ART FEENEY Feeney, captain of the nineteen thirty-one wrestling team suffered from an injured hand during a greater part of the season. His place was successfully filled by Hal Piper. tom McCarthy Unfortunately Mac was on the hospital list during the conference wrestling meet. However, he was able to cop third place in the one hundred pound class in the state meet. GEORGE NAVARRE Reds body rides and scissor holds were terrors for his opponents. His skill on these holds were a decided aid when he won the con- ference title in the one hundred fifteen pound class. JOHNNIE SITKO Johnnie upset all the dope last year when he won the mile run at the conference meet. He wer t over the distance in four minutes and forty- two seconds.

The wrestling team holds a double victory over Washington, and wins over Lowell and South Bend. Roosevelt placed second in the conference meet at East Chicago and was tied for fifth place in the state meet at Bloomington. Stanley Kocal, Clifford Freiberger, George Navarre and Harold Layer were the Roosevelt men who won first places in the conference meet. Navarre, Kocal and McCarthy were the grapplers who earned places at the state meet. Those lost through graduation are Stanley Kocal, Clifford Freiberger, Arthur Feeney, Bernard Savage and Henry Biedinger. Page Ninety-seven CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Fourth place in Conference. Coach Benham Williams ' cross country team of nineteen-thirty was the first harrier team to represent the purple and white of Roosevelt. The Rough Rider runners went through a strenuous season, meeting the best cross country teams in the region. The annual Big Seventeen Cross-Country run was held at Gary. Froebel won the meet and Roosevelt was able to place fourth. The Harriers showed surprising ability for a new team and undoubtedly the Rough Riders gained much experience which will be valuable in future meets. Regardless of the fact that Cross Country was a new sport at Roosevelt, Coach Williams scheduled all the meets with such experienced teams as Froebel, Washington, Horace Mann, Emerson and Hammond. Johnnie Sitko was the dominant individual runner on the squad. His outstanding skill was shown in the conference meet, which he won. The thinly clads who have earned their letters are: John Sitko, Donald Wells, Bert Fife, Tom King and Harold Layer. Since only Tom King is lost through graduation the prospect for a winning team next year is very bright. Page Ninety-eight Faerber, Petersen, Roe, Sitwell, Smyers, Olson, Trtan, Young, Yokovich.

The Council is composed of the officers of the Senior R. O. A. club and the sportheads who have been elected from that organization. This Council is the lawmaking body and the law enforcing committee of the R. O. A. It also directs all R. O. A. activities. The Council puts into effect a point system by which each girl is given awards. Points are given for practices in major and minor sports, participation in games, for officiating in games, for acting as sportheads, and for keeping training rules. The R. O. A. awards which can be earned are as follows: a monogram for three- hundred points, a large purple R for eight-hundred points, and a coat sweater with a large purple R on it for twelve-hundred points. The girls who have earned a sweater in the last two years are: Zelma Lamb, captain of the nineteen-twenty-nine team, and Martha Schopple, both members of the undefeated basketball team of nineteen twenty-nine; Anne Kowalski, captain of the nineteen-thirty team, Vivian Hinebaugh, Jean Barr, and Evelyn Davis of the class of nineteen-thirty.

Esther Smyers President Jean Olson Vice President Thelma Ickes Secretary Sidney Sitwell Treasurer The Senior Roosevelt Olympic Association was organized in the fall of nineteen- twenty-eight for the purpose of finding some sport or athletic game in which every senior high school girl might excel. The club motto is, A sport for every girl and a girl for every sport. Hockey, baseball, basketball, track, speedball, swimming, tennis, horse- shoe, skating, dancing, hiking, bowling and bicycling are club activities which have been popular among the girls. Girls who desire to belong to this organization are expected to keep training rules before they become members. This makes them more fit to take part in the activities of the R. O. A. All activities in the R. O. A. are sponsored by Coach Overpeck, who is assisted by girls selected by the group to be sportheads. These persons are responsible for getting girls interested in sports. Awards are given for points earned in all sports. These are given in the last week of each school year. m Page One Hundred Miss Overpeclc, Mrs. McMahon. Miss Brazzill. Wilson, L.

HEALTH CONTEST Four years ago, Miss Brazzill started the Roosevelt Girl ' s Health Contest as a project in her nutrition classes. This activity gradually grew larger until all girls in Roosevelt became a part of the contest. This year, since the Health Contest involved work done by the Physical Education and Health Departments, Miss Brazzill decided to discontinue the project in her nutrition classes. Consequently, the Health Contest was conducted by Miss Overpeck of the Physical Education Department, Mrs. McMahon of the Health Department, Dr. Mervis, also of the city Health Department and Miss Owen, girl ' s counselor. This search for a physically perfect girl has aroused much enthusiasm among the girls and this year the Junior High was included with five girls going to the final examination. These girls were Martha Daniels, Adele Davis, Betty Rouse, Eunice Sloss, and Maxine Spero. In Senior High, since the competition was much more keen there were thirteen girls who went to the finals. These girls were Jeanette Castle, Ruth Daum, Vivian Delia Chiesa, Genevieve Fahey, Lottie Marciniak, Norean and Lorean Morris, Lorraine Roe, Catherine Smith, Julia and Louise Stightz, Margaret Wilson, and Olga Wolf. Genevieve Fahey was crowned Miss Roosevelt, the Health Queen of the Senior High School. Lottie Marciniak and Lorean Morris won second and third places. Adele Davis won first place in the Junior High School contest and became the Roosevelt Health Princess. Betty Rouse, and Eunice Sloss placed second and third in the Junior High contest.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM From the time when the girls of the nineteen-twenty-eight — nineteen-twenty-nine basketball team maintained an undefeated record, basketball has been one of the most popular girl ' s sports in Roosevelt. Each year the number of girls who come out for practice has increased. This year, as usual, basketball started off with enthusiasm. More than thirty girls were on the squad during the season. Coach Overpeck planned to have a large number out so that a first and second team might be kept in running. According to the scores, the season was not so successful, but a great deal of valuable experience was obtained through inter-school competition with Griffith, Lew Wallace, and Washington. A game which ended in a tied score was played with the Rooseveit Alumni team. The prospects for next year are excellent. Comandella, Cavanaugh, Foor, and Watters, Sophomores; Sitwell, Trtan, Holtzapple, Roe and Olson, Juniors, will remain on the team. Toth, who is sporthead for basketball this year, Smyers, and Petersen are Seniors and will not return next year.

HOCKEY TEAM Field hockey, the good old outdoor sport, was revived at Roosevelt and became very popular last fall. The class teams were responsible for this popularity and on various occasions inter-class games were played. In the fall, members of the hockey team practiced every Tuesday and Wednesday evenings after school. These practices were managed by the sporthead, Sidney Sitwell, and directed by Coach Overpeck. A hockey game between the Junior-Senior team and the Sophomore team was a special feature on the Track Field Dedication Program. The game was fast and furious, ending with a score of two to one in favor of the Sophomores. In spite of crippled shins, bruises and broken sticks the girls played on. They enjoyed the thrill which is created through intermural competition. It is hoped that next spring, along with baseball and track, time can be found for spring hockey so that in the fall, games can be scheduled with schools. The game scheduled with Washington this year was called off. Hockey ranks next to basketball in popularity. Page One Hundred Three Stiglitz, Korak, Swanson, Trtan, Kish, F.

Alas, a teacher looking out of one of the north windows saw them, but, she had been walking in the park one spring day too, so she did not call them back, and so they wandered on. At last they came to a park- bench. They sat down of course and guess what happened. I know what you are all thinking but you are al! wrong, the two students were boys. STATE TRACK MEET Last Saturday, May 34th the faculty track team hiked to Merill ville where they participated in the state track meet. Our thinly clads won by an i whelming margin annexing ten of the twelve first places. The i standing heroes of the day were G. Murphy who took the pole vault and javelin. Reifel who excelled the mile and two mile and B. Wil- liams in the 100 and 220. Th other first places were won by Owet in the 440, Anderson in the high jump, Marshall in the shot put and our crack two mile relay team composed of Larson, Wells, M Murphy and M. L. Clark. Swatts was beaten out by inches in thi high hurdles and was forced to take a second. Haynes, Rohm, Maury and Bunker, placed second tc Washington in the one mile relay Haynes running as anchor man rar the most thrilling race of the day Second and third place in the discuss were annexed by Henrv and Apostle. Apostle our star discuss man threw his arm out of joint the day before writing Physics test questions and was forced to quit. The Plush Covered Pen Holder was awarded to Cotter of Roosevelt who although failing to place won the undying admiration of the crowd for her despairing efforts. Shields of Roosevelt received a genuine tin plated glass cup for carrying the water bucket and tow- els for the perspiring athletes.

Chorus Robes Disappear Last Thursday night after the nightly school dance, vandals en- tered the building, stole up to the door of the store room, opened the door with an acetyline torch and escaped with all the 553 chorus robes. Stifling her sobs and choking back her tears. Miss Clark an- nounced this awful catastrophe to the heart broken Mixed Chorus when they met in their daily re- hearsal at 6:30 A.M. The grief stricken choral members immediate- ly broke into bitter tears of anguish, heard all the way to the Magoun entrance where the incoming ceach- ?rs were checking in for the day. Seven detectives led by Harry Personette, were immediately as- signed to the case and after hours of futile effort they tracked the nissing nightgowns to Hessville where they were to be used by the Hessville students for opera coats to wear to their annual Junior Prom.
