Hardware and software continued to occupy more and more of the time of the media specialists, Marybeth Nelson and Sheila Woodbeck. When Roosevelt’s English department received new Apple IIC computers, it was the job of the media staff to assemble them and set them in classrooms. Sometimes the new equipment worked well, sometimes not. It was just as common to see strong boys working as media aides and lugging heavy equipment around as it was to see girls checking out books and magazines. All of this was in addition to the still — new computer room, just off the library. That room was in constant use all day long throughout the year. The media staff also processed all textbooks ordered for use in classes. Top Left: Front Row: Jennl Huitgren. Leslie Kruse. Pat Hall. Row 2: Melissa Pitman. Michelle Lum. Debbie Vangel.

Larry Converge Judith Leino Art and Crafts Even though Roosevelt had only two art teachers, there were four courses offered. Teachers Larry Converse and Judy Leino were kept busy during the school year. Converse taught Art I and sculpture classes, while Leino taught drawing and painting. Art was an elective as usual, and many talented students were enrolled in the courses.

4 concerts planned Concerts, concerts, and more concerts! Roosevelt’s choir members were busy all year. The fall, winter, and spring concerts were more than enough to satisfy their performing needs. Each concert featured a number of songs performed by all three choirs. An especially memorable concert was the traditional winter concert. Songs were both sacred and fun. and alumni choir members joined the concert choir on stage for Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.’’ Concert Choir was busy in the Spring, and preparations for their community concert with members of the Minnesota Orchestra kept the singing at extra rehearsals. Madrigals were especially busy during the winter holiday season, often singing more than once a day. Most members were able to meet at the 6:45 a.m. starting time.
