Old Faithful Steams Again We, of the Sasamore staff of nineteen hundred and forty-four, proudly present this year's edition of Roosevelt High School’s yearbook to you, the student body. In compiling this Sagamore, we have taken into consideration the likes and dislikes of the student body as a whole, and we hope that you are very well satisfied with the result. The theme, which deals with postwar planning and inventions, shows what our school may possibly be like when some of the dreams of today become a reality of the future. Due to priorities, war shortages, and other restrictions caused by almost two and one-half years of war, the staff has been handicapped in many different ways, but we have done everything possible to build this Sagamore from the foundation laid by previous numbers of the Sagamore with All-American ratings to a yearbook which may bring equal recognition for the class of nineteen hundred forty-four. 194 4 SAGAMORE STAFF Mr. Harvey Wagner, Faculty Adviser Editor-in-chief........................Mahlon Degernes Photographer .......

Democracy for Roosevelt Roosevelt High School's central government is the Student Council which is a body of representative students from each grade. This council was organized in 1924, and through the encouragement of the teachers of Roosevelt, students have done well in accepting responsibility for the conduct of their own affairs. The activities and types of work of the Student Council are many. The work includes governing study halls, regulating noon activities, and sponsoring school parties and programs. War has brought on such additional duties as the sale of stamps and bonds, scrap drives, and paper drives. The main work of the council is centered in the standing committees which are organized by the members of the Council. Each committee plays an impor- tant role in the success of our student government, but the Ethics Committee, the Student Activity Board, and the P.T.S.A. Boards are the best known. Mr. Arthur Christenson became the new adviser for the Student Council this year when Mr. Carl Lundin was transferred to another school. The officers of the fall council were as follows: Joe Christensen, president; Dick Mann, vice-president; Polly Stallings, corresponding secretary; Elnore Anderberg, recording secretary; Peter Erickson, treasurer; and Jim Norquist, sergeant-at-arms. Peter Erickson was president of the spring council with James Norquist, vice-president; Polly Stallings, corresponding secretary; Shirley Kovar, recording secretary; Robert Colburn, treasurer; and Don Kimball, sergeant-at-arms.
