' ' - ' ' . ' — .- Scho o L , g Twenty- Fifth Edition OF THE ROUND UP n THE 1953 ROUND UP Roosevelt High School — East Chicago, Indiana OUR CREED We Believe In Living A Clean Life; In Fighting Fairly Always; In Being Tolerant And Respectful To Others; In Co-operating To The Best Of Our Ability, And In Being Loyal At All Times To Our School FOREWORD The Class of 1933 presented the school a plaque stating OUR CREED and placed it just outside the office door. In selecting this as a theme, we felt that it was intimately related to the school and its students, and that these printed words were either consciously or unconsciously a part of every person who had attended Roosevelt.

Each graduating class since has attempted to produce an annual portraying work of the school, by representative showing of students in classrooms, labora- tories, shops or other scenes of curricular and extracurricular activities. We hope the 25th edition of the Round Up has fulfilled its pupose of making today ' s events tomorrow ' s memories. For a picture of our building we chose the Magoun Avenue entrance to the main bulidng and the entrance to the auditorum Page 7 ADMINISTRATION Members of the Board of Education Page 8 Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent and Supervisors Page 9 Principal, Counsellors, and Office Personnel Pages 10-11 FACULTY The Faculty, composed of 50 full and part time members Pages 12 to 15 PERSONALITY SECTION The personality section contains an individual picture of students from 12A to 7B. We began our section with senior class. To show the students in their natural roles — the roles they play in the dama of school life — we have included informal pictures in and around the school throughout the section. These will be found on Pages 18 to 41 SPORTS The achievement of the Rough Riders on the football field and basketball floor as well as the wrestling team and track team are all featured as newsy sports items in the athletic section Pages 42 to 55 ACTIVITIES Activity experiences at Roosevelt afford channels favorable to the develop- ment of initiative, leadership, group interests, social intelligence, and self confi- dence. Student Government, debate, choir, boys ' glee club, band, orchestra, drama, Y-teens, and other girls and boys clubs contribute to the education of the whole child Pages 56 to 80 OUR BUSINESS FRIENDS Who have made it possible for us to have a finer publication Pages 70 to 92 J. C. AUSTIN If in our halls a statue should be placed— One to edify our creed and be forever a silent reminder Of all we strive for— There were no need to search afar for model rare. Such a one once lived among us, giving generous share Of his wisdom, eloquence — and wit. His life was clean as the duneland sand Whereon he built his simimer home. His understanding matched the vastness of the lake ' s expanse; His fairness was fathomed by its depth. In championing all causes that were just He always fairly fought Yet maintained its June night calmness. His tolerance and respect for others ' rights Measured his manliness, hardy as the pines. He poured his splendid strength Into each grave task, however small, Cooperating ever As quietly as comes the lupine to adorn the dunes. His many years of service, steadfast as the horizon. Bespeak his loyalty to this our school. — F.

There wasn ' t a football or basketball game that we didn ' t see. Our biggest thrill of the year was freshmen dancing class. After that came ROA, Y-Teens, Red Cross, Teen-Age Coimcil, and freshmen sports. We had started becoming a part of the activities at Roosevelt. We had the thrill of our first Showdown, hayride and the Turnabout Dance. Pauline Vania and Joan Peterkitas were chosen freshmen cheerleaders. Yes, our freshman year was exciting. As sophomores we became a part of the school mechanism. In Fighting Fairly Always the boys practiced in I9B. The sophomore members of the Booster Club, the Y-Teen Cabinet and Boy ' s Service League worked hard to obtain recogni- tion. The choir, orchestra, band, football, basket- ball, and baseball teams were well represented by the sophomore class. There were two main events of that year for us: the Y-Teen Winter Formal, and the winning of the sectional basket- ball tournament. In our junior year we co-operated with every- one to the best of our ability and with the seniors we formed a team. Chuckles Matulis, Tony Fadda and Barbara Babair were our class offi- cers. The Girl Coimsellors were proud of their little sisters. The boys were members of the varsity team in sports. How proud we were of them! Most of us went to Evansville when the football team played there. We helped to plan the Soc-Hop, Winter Formal, Turnabout and various other social events. We were very proud to honor the seniors at the Girl Counsellors ' Breakfast, the Y-Teen Banquet and the Booster Banquet. The student body elected Dave Allen as president of the student government. AVe started the last lap of our high school days as seniors, but a sad incident marred the fall. Our beloved Brown Derby was given to Wash- ington! The king and queen of the Brown Derby dance were Elaine Siurek and John Oakley. Homecoming was a big event: a successful parade; a beautiful queen, Dinal Rapacz; and a victory for the team. We were the big shots that year. The officers of the organizations were th guiding hands. Christmas Vespers, music con- certs, plays, and sports meant more to us than ever before. This would be the last time we could participate in them. How proud we felt when we led the grand march at the Winter Formal. We were the ones honored at the ban- quets, and it made us feel important to be seniors. The memories of Rough Rider Day, Senior Picnic, and Class Night will always be with us. The night of the senior prom was heavenly. Sunday was Baccalaureate. Then the big moment— Graduation! We finally had reached our goal. To the music of Pomp and Circumstance we walked down the aisle. After receiving our diplomas, the famliar strains of Aidd Lang Syne were heard. We remembered Ou r Creed . High School had helped us to be- come Tolerant and Respectful to Others.

The ball club, while it had its share of individual stars, was more of a team aggregation rather than a squad that depended solely on one or two individual standouts. The forward wall, anchored by Captain Ed Wietecha, was solid from end to end with boys who could really Rock ' em and Sock ' em and the backfield, guided by crafty quarterbacks Bob Beison and Rich Marciniec was a speed hard hitting outfit that had a zeal for contact. How- ever, the season wasn ' t all glory and satisfaction, it was also filled with disappointment and dis- heartening events. The way the team overcame the majority of its bad fortune was a tribute to the pluck and determination of its members. The season opener matched the Rough Rider against rugged highly touted South Bend Wash- ington at South Bend. The inspired Panthers took advantage of every Roosevelt miscue and the finish of the game found the tense, over- eager Riders on the short end of a 18-0 score. Nevertheless, defeat brought out the determina- tion, intestional fortitude and spirit of the team, for then and there they vowed to redeem them- selves. The first obstacle on the comeback trail was Clark ' s Pioneers. Clark, with a big and speedy ball club put up a good fight; but the Rough Riders, with the passing and rimning of spunky Chuck Matulis showing the way came out with 22 to 7 victory. Then came homecoming with a keyed up Hammond High squad providing the opposition. Hammond scored on their initial series of downs and gamely held on to their lead for almost three quarters against the incessant line pounding Roosevelt ground game. Late in the third quar- ter, hard running fullback John Patrick cracked over for the tying six points and Bob Beison kicked the decisive extra point to give the Rough Riders a hard fought 7 to 6 decision. The following week in a gruelling, bitterly contested defensive type game, our football men took the measure of a tough Hammond Tech squad 13 to to give Coaches Rucinski and Page Forty-four THE UP AND COMING ROUGH RIDERS SOPHOMORE TEAM Row 1 — Cantor, Reel.

It was three down and four to go as R ough Rider fortunes began to climb. In their next three tussles our gridinen really hit their stride as they won all three contests by decisive margins. Led by a vicious line and an assortment of fleet, hard running backs, Roose- velt ran roughshod over a badly outcharged and outclassed Froebel football team. . 1 Uzis was particularly effective as he scored two touch- downs and repeatedly ripped the Devil line for large gains. Lew Wallace was next to fall victim to the now arroused Roosevelt football jauger- naut. Displaying the flashiest offense that they had molded all season long, and a hard running tailback in the person of Chuck Matulis, the rampant Riders scored often and spectacularly routed the Gary Hornets 40-19. The Whiting game followed the pattern set in the two pre- vious games as the Rough Riders led by right halfback Leo Pociask ' s two talleys trounced the hapless Oilers 36-0. In the season final the Rough Riders were pitted against cross town rival Washington in the Brown Derby Classic. Because of previously more impressive past performances Roosevelt was rated the pre game favorite. But a fleet solon backfield combo, sparked by the passing arm of quarterback, Louis Costa, took the Riders competely by surprise and they were upset 25-14. .Although the season ended on a sour note, this football season can still be chalked up as another fine coaching job for Pete Rucinski and Ernie Miller, their finished product being an- other in a long line of good football teams.

Starting on the eve of her wedding-day. when she suddenly finds herself worried about her choice of a bridegroom, she goes back and relives her school life and her love story which is also the story of Spike Harrison, played by Don Zivich, a typical athletic product of the U. S., and the impish, lovable Ricardo Fernan- dez Calderon de Alvarado, played by Phil Frew, an equally typical product of his homeland, Peru. Until the last minute the audi- ence cannot guess which of the two boys Joan has decided to marry, or, in- deed, whether the mar- riage will take place at all.
