Mrs. Kaupang is adviser. The only qualification for membership in the club is to presenfChrist as a foundation for Christian character and living. The club, which is composed of both boys and girls, has as its slogan Jesus Never Fails. The library of inspirational books helps the members to reach the club's objective, which is to present Christianity as an active principle in daily living. Meetings are held every Tuesday. The club has had several parties this year, including a get-acquainted party, a senior farewell party, and a sleighride party. At one Red Cross meeting members made favors, nut cups, and scrapbooks. They also sent gifts to needy children at Christmas. Probably the most interesting meetings of the year are those held with leagues of the other schools. Meetings with South and Robbinsdale were held this year. The club is assisting Silver Triangle in preparing the menu and in decorating the lunchroom for the convention of Northwest Federation of Student Councils. This spring the club plans to have a Mothers' Day tea and to attend a party at the World Crusade Center. The officers for the fall term were Ruth Larson, president; Laura Brolsma, vice-president; Audrey Janicke. secretary; Bonnie Carlson, corresponding secretary; and Shirley Olson, treasurer. The officers for the spring term were Robert Fallt, president; Ruth Larson, vice-president; Shirley Anfinsen. secretary; Patricia Baines, corresponding secretary; and Renae Smith, treasurer. [29]

Stepping Stone to the Phi Beta Kappa Quest of the Best is the motto of the Senior Honor Society of Roosevelt High School which is a branch of the National Honor Society. This club is comparable to the Phi Beta Kappa and the Sigma Psi societies at the University of Minnesota. A student must have a 2.3 average in his studies through the tenth and eleventh grades in order to become a member of this society. Scholarship, leadership, service, and character are the requisites for membership. The pin of the club, which is a lighted torch with the letters C.S.L.S., signifies all of these things. The club meetings are held the second Thursday of each month with Mrs. Gerard and Miss Gruber as faculty advisers. The main social functions of the Senior Honor Society are the teas given each term in honor of the I OB students who were members of the honor society in junior high school. These teas are given for the purpose of familiarizing the newcomers with the club so that they will strive toward this goal of honor when they become seniors. The induction ceremonies for the I2B and I2A members are also an important event. During the fall term the president was Mildred Froysland; Edith Ann Burke was vice-president; and Betty Christopherson was the secretary-treasurer. The officers for the spring term were Erling Bligard, president; Dona Peterson, vice-president; and Marian Erickson, secretary-treasurer. C 28 3

Advertising Their School To provide the halls of Roosevelt and the shop windows in the school district with posters, the Qui Vive is kept constantly On the Alert. This, by the way, is the slogan of the club. It is the duty o the members to advertise plays, concerts, and school parties. The purpose of the club is not only to publicize school activities, but also to promote a spirit of cooperation and friendship among its members. This is accomplished by several social activities during the school year. Among the activities is the gay initiation party, which is preceded by an impressive candle light ceremony. The club is limited to thirty-two members, sixteen A and sixteen B seniors. Stu- dents should have a high scholastic standing, be of good character, and possess leadership to apply for membership. Each membership is approved by the faculty and voted on by the members of the club. The Qui Vive was organized in 1938 and is now under the supervision of Miss Ois-eth. Meetings are held every Wednesday after school. The leaders for the fall term are Harvey Hanse, president; Bob Mohr, vice-president; Betty Christophersen, secretary; James Lindahl, treasurer. Those who are in office for the spring term are Peter Erickson, president; Dean Stagnes, vice-president; Rose Mary Holden, secretary; Neil Wales, treasurer; and John Hagerman, sergeant-at-arms. C30]
