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 .......

Working Toward Victory Service for All is the motto of the Roosevelt High School Seton Hy. This motto proclaims the fact that the girls of this organization are willing to help their friends in serving their school and to help their country in serving their community. The club pin. which, in the past years, has designated the high quality of service rendered by these girls, has been omitted this year on account of the war. Under the leadership of Miss Molan and Mrs. Nagel, the Seton Hy Club has advanced a great deal since the time of its founding by Mrs. Knox in 1924. The most important requirements for membership in the Seton Hy Club are good behavior, willing service, and good citizenship at all times. The officers for the fall term were Mary Jean Huber, president; Ann Marie John- son, vice-president; Thomasine Thomas, secretary; Merilyn Andersen, treasurer; Emily Webster, publicity chairman. The officers elected for the spring term were Ann Marie Johnson, president; Sonia Hendrickson, secretary; Arlene Christianson, treasurer; Agnes Gardt, publicity chairman. The club meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Outside speakers are invited to these meetings. Two of the subjects discussed have been Etiquette and United States Servicemen. In the past year the girls have helped in filling Christmas boxes for the servicemen. They have made nut cups and have given wash cloths to the Red Cross. The club joined in the all city senior party to entertain service boys at the Seton Guild. C 23 3
