Through the American Field Service, the exchange of students has been carried on for seven years at Roosevelt. The two students selected for the exchange program were John Bransford, who during the summer and first school semester lived in Java, Indonesia, and JoAnn Gilbertson, who spent the summer in Lancashire, England. Students coming to Roosevelt were Pat Sonanikone from Laos and Bill Schon-ing from Germany. Another German visitor, Rolf Hirche, was sponsored by another exchange progrom. The purpose of these programs is to instill, through first hand knowledge of the life and thoughts of another country, on understanding of various cultures. Other Teddies also found time to take port in many outside activities and some held city-wide offices. Among these students, four seniors became presidents of their respective organizations. These presidents included: Karen Liljemark of the Minneapolis Y-Teen Inter-Club Council, City Girl Scout President Karen Pottsmith, City-wide Hi-C President Don Greven and John Olive of Contact. In addition to these busy students, three seniors, Donna Knight, Greg Walling, and John Bransford, took port in the Girls' and Boys' State conventions lost year. These representatives participate in mock city, county and state governments to learn by personal experience the democratic principles of government. Teddies Make Their Mark in AFS, Girls’ and 26

Timing is important in play production as evidenced by a scene enacted by J. Chappie, D. Schulstad and C. Fales. ’62 Class Play Pride and Prejudice Featured Pride and Prejudice, a sentimental comedy by Jane Austen, was selected as the 1962 Senior Class Play to be presented on April 26 and 27. Tryouts for the play began early in March. Many of the major roles were double cast, giving more students a chance to participate. After parts were assigned, long hours of practice began under direction of Mrs. Arenson and student director Bill Schoening. The play involved several amusing episodes of the Bennett family. Mrs. Bennett felt that a single man who had a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Therefore, the business of her life became that of getting her five daughters married to wealthy young men. Their mother's meddling causes some amusing and ambarrasing moments for the girls, but in the end each one finds a very suitable husband. FRONT ROW: C. Knudson, I. Johnson. 0. Burke, K. liljemork, R.
