as ggMIl2I2ORcesf.. -- The History of Our School N September second, nearly three years ago, the doors of Roosevelt High School were opened for the first time to admit about 1,500 students. The first year there were no seniors, but how wonderful were the juniors! VVe looked up to them as we would have done to those who had climbed to the great height of success and knowledge. Most of the Juniors and Sophomores had come from Old Mother South, so naturally, they brought with them a line school spirit and the poise for which we longed. Very soon we began to associate with these higher classmen, and almost unconsciously we adopted the high ideals and the school spirit which they had assimilated at South. VVe gave many musical and dramatic entertainments which proved very suc- cessful and aroused great interest in the community.. A great deal of this success was due to the remarkable support which the parents gave us whenever we attempted to put on entertainments. 'This also helped improve the musical and athletic departments of this school. We were, also, quite successful in our athletic activi- ties. Wfe learned to be loyal to our, teams, which does so much in the begin- ning of a school's athletics. As the school progressed on to its second year, it won publicity in other ways. Our school ,surprised every one by attaining one hundred per cent in banking, and the penmanship department received the largest percentage of penmanship cer- tificates in the United States. T he third year of our existence finds us brimming with school spirit and loyalty in athletics, scholarship, music, and drama. The, music and dramatic departments have rendered several plays and two operas which have been rousing successes. Many clubs have been organized which promote certain phases of educational and social life, and which also bring the students into closer contact with one another. Our band has gained fame by taking lirst place in the State High School Band contest, our mixed C-flee Club won third place in the Minneapolis and St. Paul High Schools, and our cross country team won the city championship. VVe have presented the members of two small graduating classes with diplomas, and the june class of this year will number one hundred and twenty graduates. Our building is now filled to its utmost capacity. Already we are establishing worthy traditions and are earning for ourselves a reputation for having high ideals, good morals, courage, courtesy, and honesty. XVe have great conhdence that the tomorrow of Roosevelt High School will be a happy one. r i 1 l l 1 l l .. . 13
