In order to become a mem- ber ot this club you must be the winner ot an R letter. Being a member of this club is one of the most desirable things tor a boy to gain at Roosevelt. This club is representative ot the boys who have participated on Roosevelt's many championship teams. For example, last year the Teds grabbed off champion- ships in basketball, swimming, wrestling, volleyball, a co-championship in skiing, and the Northwest championship in gym- nastics. Last tall Roosevelt's gridders tied for the city title. Also, the cross-country Won In 1953 team took second place. In this year's win- ter sports Roosevelt was second in basket- ball, swimming, wrestling, skiing, and gymnastics. However, the gymnastics team won the Northwest title tor the sec- ond straight year. At the time this story was written the spring sports had not started actual com- petition, but the golt squad seems to have the best chance tor a high finish in the city standings. lt doesn't look to encour- aging tor the tennis team, however, there are possibilities. The baseball and track teams are fairly strong in spots and with hard work could prove to be very suc- cesstul. 1111519

Senior Honor Society The Senior Honor Society ot Roosevelt, which is a branch ot the National Honor Society, was organized in 1926. Members must have a 2.3 grade average in their sophomore and junior years. They must also have good character, be leaders, and do service to others. These qualifications, except tor the grade average, are repre- sented in a pin given to each member at his initiation. The Honor Society is essen- tially a service organization. Sale of home- coming buttons, soliciting tor the com- munity chest, and the annual Christmas party are activities ot this group. One of the mostiinteresting and exciting things the members do is to take an annual trip out ot the city. Out ot the city last year meant Washington, D. C., the destination for this year's members, too. The excur- sion will last tive days, and the time will be spent mostly in sight-seeing. Since the trip is taken during the school year, you may wonder about the school work. lt's all made up beforehand! Row iz Ohno, E. Peterson, Nerison, Edin, Turnbull, Kromer, Porter, Dean, A. Nelson.

It is the only newspaper, among the many other high school newspaper in Minneapolis, that is published weekly. There are twen- ty-six issues put out per year. During the past year the staff has purchased a new type called the Twentieth Century 604 Type. It is used for the printing of head lines. There is one editor for each page except for pages one and three on which two or more persons work. More Competent Members Nolan, I. Olson, McGovern, Shannon, Foster, Doan, Kallstrom. The Holly Hop, one of our first fall dances, was sponsored by the Standard. The Standard, although inexpensive to buy, is quite expensive to run. Since pic- ture costs are quite high, the staff mem- bers are trying to discover new methods of getting finer pictures for a lower price. The Standard staff has covered nearly every event of the school year. Many thought- provoking editorials such as Clubs, Sports Are Fun If Grades Are Kept Up, Education, Tolerance Necessary for Peace, and What Do You Mean You Have Nothing To Be Thankful For? have added much to the editions.
