Roosevelt High School - Roundup Yearbook (East Chicago, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1954 volume:

FOREWORD Round Up time on a sprawling western ranch means excitement, busy activity and hard work. It bubbles with American vitality. Fhe same characteristics that make Round Up time an American pattern of life are the ones that make our high school days pro- ductive and worthwhile. The 1954 Round Up depicts the life of average American teen- ager's living and learning itt a free country. May it always remain a book of cherished memories and font! friendships. In these buildings, so familiar and dear, was formed the foundation of our future life. Here we gained a knowledge, not only of math and science, but also of living happily with one another. The carefree days spent among these surroundings will ever linger in our hearts as bright and shining memories. Coivkeirts J djmnx5ti atu)iv._____f- 9 t CLCliLi' ' .

Our first days at high school proved to Roose- velt that we were an energetic class, with enthu- siasm to back that energy. Attending our first out of town game at Evansville, freshman dancing classes, the Korn Huskers dance, and our first Turnabout showed that we were becoming a part of everything. I'ina Benedetto was chosen fresh- man cheerleader. Our first showdown and class picnic ended our freshman year happily. Our sophomore year l egan with the addition of many new faces who came from Washington. Even if we did free e to death, the Washington- Roosevelt football game proved a great victory for us. 'I he biology class with Mr. Amidei was our most talked about subject for it was cpiite an experience to dissect animals. We marveled at the thought that we could now have drivers training. Several of us were receiving bids to the various clubs. We became a part of the social life for our class was well represented at the June Prom. We started our junior year by electing Leonard Friend. President. Stan Florek. Vice President, and Tina Benedetto as Secretary-Treasurer of our class. Our boys played a great football game at South Bend. The bus ride was almost as excit- ing as the game. We anxiously awaited each | eriod when Miss Swatts would so dramatically read Mac Beth. The basket ball tournament nearly broke our hearts because wc lost the sec- tionals to Hammond High. Also that year our first teacher-student basket ball game was held. The Girl Counselor's Breakfast for the senior girls and the junior picnic ended our social events. Stan Florek was elected president of the student government. Vic Grus ka. Vice President and Marilyn Lerch. Secretary-Treasurer. Well, we finally made it. seniors at last. With the first clay of school we began to reali e that we were the ones that all of the underclassmen would l x� k up to. The home-coming game and dance were Ixith a huge success. We played Emerson, and our cjueen was Joan Nagy; her attendants were Phyllis Slifko and Jeanne Dobos. Then came the Washington game, we lost, but our lx ys really ixmrayed gcxxl salesmanship that night. The king and queen of the Brown Derby dance were Vic Grus ka and Marilyn Botos. The basket ball games Ix-gan and the Rough Riders lx� wed to the Senators the first game of the tournament. The winter formal completed our first semester with practically everyone attending. The Showdown rolled around as usual with many of the Seniors par- ticipating. Then came the Prom. All the girls Icxixed Ix-autiiul in their fluffy formats, and the thought that it was the last brought tears to many seniors. Rough Rider clay, the senior pic- nic. and class night came all tcx sexin. Then Sun- day was Baccalaureate, and our eyes were misty with thoughts of the past and dreams for the future. Then it came. yes. graduation was here. We thought we would surely faint Ixdore our diplomas were handed to us. And then it was all over, but we want you to remember us Roose- velt. because we will never forget you. Fngr sixteen I HUMA M l ISON “Athletic ability, a pleasing manner ami a flashing smile. Choir.

ANOTHER SO NEAR, YET SO FAR FINISH I here was joy and excilinent in the Roosevelt halls alter the grid opener with arch rival Ham- mond High. The Wildcats were smeared by a 31-0 score as Bill Butler ran wild scoring three touchdowns in a muddy, rain soaked game. The oj ener showed the potentialities of such backs as Louie “Cra vlegs” Williams, Leo Pociask. Dean Kuscinski, and Bill Bork. Against Clark, Butler again took scoring hon- ors romping over the goal line twice and passing for another marker. The offensive line of Wier, Toth, Rurteff, Soyka, Pumilio. Slampyak, and Bochnowski displayed tremendous charge. Final score was R.H.S. 26 and Clark 6. One of the biggest games of the season was on tap when Roosevelt smashed into mighty Ktner- son. The Riders were out-weighed 25 pounds |x r man. but gave away nothing in pluck and deter- mination. Playing before a capacity crowd the Riders anihilated the Golden Tornados 36-7. Louie Williams eased the tension in the Riders stand by streaking 99 yards down the sideline for the first touchdown. Butler played his usual fine game by scoring two touchdowns, and Dean Rus- cinski proved his punting ability. After this dis- play of |x wer, Roosevelt was placed atop the nigh school gridiron heap. The Riders r xle roughshod over a weak Ham- mond Tech team whipping them 38-7. The team performed in the well known Ruler tradition. A confident Rider squad traveled to Gary where they had a tough time dis|x sing of Toll- eston 13-0. Not until the third quarter did R.H.S. break the ice as Ploski rammed over. Butler carried the mail for the other tally. Ray Slamp- yak and Ken Avington played sensational de- fensive ball for the Purple and White. When Roosevelt encountered an upset minded Whiting team on foreign soil. Bill Butler saved the day by scamping 60 yards on a naked reverse for the lone score. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS JT1... V) Opp. R.H.S.

All eyes were on the Riders and Sen- ators as they took the field tensely waiting for the starting whistle. At stake were the city and conferente crowns. It was the battle ol the un- beaten. Forty-eight minutes later everyone pre- sent realized that they had witnessed one of the best played high school games in the conference’s history. Dave Olah passed to Lou Costa for the game’s only score, the store that broke Roose- velt’s back. The Riders suffered a defeat, but gained a moral victory with that old “never say die spirit. The prep classic was hailed as a great defensive battle with vicious but clean blocking and tackling. Roosevelt topped fourth place in the final grid ratings and second place in the N.I.H.S.C. to end another highly successful season. Under the top notch coaching of Pete Ruscin- ski and Ernie Miller, the boys learned not only the fundamentals of this great American spirt but also s|x rtsmanship and perseverance as well. Al l.

Through the year the Booster Club supported all athletic teams and sponsored several popular activities. Homecoming was the first big event. A caravan of cars bedeck- ed with signs and cheering boost- ers rolled down the boulevard as the band played some spirited school songs. Later a liugh lion- fire sent sparks soaring skyward while a Golden Tornado repre- senting Emerson was tossed into the roaring flames. A banquet given by the juniors for the graduating seniors and the Booster Showdown skit were the final fun-packed activities of a very worthwhile year.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society, a national organi- zation recognizing four cardinal objectives as fundamental in all educational practice: SC HOI .ARSHIP—the jxrwer of the mind to dis- |K-1 ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of truth. LEADERSHIP—the power oi | ersonality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb. CHARACTER-the composite of all the com- mon virtues setting the seal of righteousness u| on our every endeavor. SERVICE -the Ix-gimiiiig and end of our educa- tion, the altar of truism from which God’s bless- ings to man have been vouchsafed. The emblem of this Society is the keystone and flaming torch. The keystone ! ears at its base the letters S. L. S. and S. which stands for the four cardinal principles. As the keystone is placed by the builder to hold a |x rfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must lx held firm and true to the purpose of life by the virtues represented in this symbol.

I he 1954 Choir lived up to these expectations and advances! far beyond as it set a high standard of musical accomplishment. The Choir had fine spirit and pride in its work. I here were times when every member felt a thrill as he put his heart into a number and produced soul-filling music. I he imaginative interpreting and sensitive directing of Miss Clark led the Choir in its every endeavor. To her goes much of the credit for any success achieves! by the group. Peak performance of the year was the Choir Concert presented in April. Twice the Choir sang in assembly programs plus participating in Vespers, the Spring Con- cert. the Showdown and Baccalaureate. GIRLS' ENSEMBLE The Ciris' Ensemble. veteran group of music losers sang together for two years. They enjoyed working toward the goal of perfect blend and clear diction.

Interest has reached a new peak. This year Miss Clark and Miss Guelig had under their direction one hundred and twenty-four girls who were divided into three choruses. Individuality was forgotten as the girls learned that choral work is team play of the highest type. The Choruses pictured above sang in Vespers, the Spring Concert and the Showdown.

ROUND UP STAFF It takes more than one person, more than one idea, and more than one headache to publish an annual that will hold the memories of high school days. Stories were written and rewritten, articles typed and retyped, and pictures taken and re- taken before the perfected copy was taken to the printers. In later years we hope that, when this Round Up is opened, it will bring back memories of happy days at Roosevelt High.
