This Is Democracy in Action The government of Roosevelt High School is centered in the Student Council, a body of thirty-five students elected by the whole student body. The Council passes legislation subject to the approval of the principal, and then sets up necessary governmental machinery for carrying out the provisions. All students participate in the election of their representatives, and a large number of them accept positions to help with the various projects of government. Because the responsibilities accepted by the students are so extensive, it is necessary that several hundred students be appointed either by the president or by the Council as a whole. Under the encouragement of the teachers of Roosevelt, students have made great strides in accepting responsibility for the conduct of their own affairs. Origin Roosevelt High School has had some student participation in the government of the school since 1924. At that time, Mr. Ring- Board of Governors The Board of Governors if composed of students who arc in complete charge of operating the study halls. dahl, principal of Corcoran School, helped to organize a council and served as the faculty adviser. Following him, Mr. von Levern served as the adviser while he was here as our assistant-principal. Since 1932 Mr. Lundin has been the faculty adviser and beginning with the fall term of 1941 he has been assigned to this duty on a full time basis. In the fall term of 1940, Mr. Christenson was assigned as a co-adviser. C 21 D Senior Representatives Junior Representatives

Between the Lines The Roosevelt Standard, published each Thursday by the staff, has, for nineteen consecutive years, presented to the students a resume of the news of the week. As a staff member, one must have shown superior ability in writing in News I. Exceptional students in journalism may apply for membership in the International Quill and Scroll. Since 1928 the paper has received, for its general excellence in bringing news to the student body, an All American and National Scholastic Press Association rating. The staff, which is made up of eleventh and twelfth grade students, works fourth period every day, as well as before and after school, under the advisership of Mr. LeRoy Nielsen. In this way, they publish 3,000 copies of the Standard each week. Until 1929, the paper had been issued biweekly and sold by the subscription method. But in 1940, a new plan was devised, whereby every student receives the paper for a smaller price. Editors during the fall term were Arlene Reetz, editor-in-chief; Muriel Larson, news Lind.
