Eventually, everyone comes into the library to look up a spe- cial topic or to find certain information. The Roosevelt High library has the larg- est volume and circulation of all high schools in the Northwest. The library has several divisions among which are the senior room, the stacks, the browsing room, and the English stacks which are used especially in the English classrooms. Besides its regular functions, the library is the scene of many social affairs and friendly gatherings. Driver Training Roosevelt is fortunate in being one of the few schools in Minneapolis where a driver training course is offered. In this course the future driver is taught the basic rules of the road and also the traf- fic regulations in Minnesota. He also studies statistics on accidents: how many, why they happened, and how they could have been avoided. After passing a writ- ten examination, the pupil is given six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction in a regular dual-control training car.

Lunch Hour Ask any loyal Teddy what his favorite period is and he will promptly say, Why, lunch hour, of course! And well might it bel Since the lunchroom was painted it is a very pleasant place, in- deed. A well trained staff, under the supervision of Mrs. Thomas, turns out tempting lunches every day for those who do not bring their lunch from home. For those who prefer to tote the little brown bag, milk, various desserts, and confections are sold to round out the meal. After lunch is over, students may attend the noon movies ladmission-one ticket sold for one pennyl, or stay down at the tables and talk. In warm weather, students are permitted to spend part of their lunch hour on the football field. Sometimes the lunchroom is rather crowded, and then the chief pastime is stealing chairs from unsuspecting vic- tims. The ones to pity are, of course, the unfortunates who have third lunch, for, according to them, they are always suf- fering from starvation. 1 f Here is the kitchen staff that turns out the delicious food which Roosevelt students devour every lunch hour. Left to right: Wicklem, Williamson, Richards, Lundquist, Gilman, Johnson. Students of the second lunch crowd around the ticket taker as they hurry to get into the noon movies.

Mr. Edwin Olson discusses work program problems with Ruth Eklund and Barbara Aaby. Work Program Here at Roosevelt the work program affects a large number of students. Under this program a student attends school in the morning, and in the afternoon he goes to work for an employer who is cooperating with the school authorities in training these young people. Technically there are three different divisions of the work program: the distributive, the trade, and the clerical departments. The places of work are many and varied: banks, hospitals, printing shops, service stations, stores, bakeries, and the Chuck Brankley polishes up the machinery at the Lund Press while Bill Duncan watches critically.
