PRINCIPAL ln Mr. von l.evern's opinion, the outstanding thing at Roosevelt is our student government. It was or- ganized in I925 by him, and it has continued to grow since he became principal. Our student government was organized because he telt the need ot giving students practice in a democratic torm ot govern- ment, in leadership, and in practice in selt control.
