EX LIBRIS The Strenuous Life Being the Birat Annual Published by the Students of Roosevelt High School Seattle, Washington JUNE, 1923 Courtesy of Curtis Studio TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT WHOSE UNSWERVING LOYALTY- LOFTY IDEALS FAR REACHING VISION AND SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY THIS SCHOOL IS SO EARNESTLY STRIVING TO EMBODY - THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED WITH UT- MOST SINCERITY PAGE 4 ROOSEVELT SPIRIT HAT a wonderful character the man Theodore Roose- velt had! What lofty ideals, what sterling honesty, what qualities of bravery! He, perhaps, more than any other, was loved, honored and respected the world over. And why? Because he possessed all those desirable qualities which make a real man. First, he was a sportsman in every sense of the word. He was square, clean and energetic. He be- lieved in fair play, hitting hard and never fouling. Even in dealing with the worst sort of a cheat, he always played fair, square and clean, and he always came out on top. He believed in fighting for the right, never allowing justice to be trampled upon. He was an idealist who made his ideals practical realities. At every point he mastered the difficult situations instead of allowing them to master him. He profited by his mistakes. Loyalty was one of his ideals—loyalty to his country and to the best that was in himself. He was stern, yet kind. He respected all, whether lowly or high, and in turn he was respected. He valued true friendship highly and he put unlimited trust in all who were his friends. He set his own high standards and lived up to them every day of his life. Never did he flinch from his duties, no matter how un- pleasant they might be; nor did he shirk responsibilities, but bravely shouldered them and determinedly carried them through to the finish. He was always ready and prepared to meet any situation he might be called upon to face. One of his rules was, “Be ready,” and he followed it to the letter. Having a contempt for weakness he made himself strong. His morals were iron-clad, and never once did he lower them. The culmination of all his ideals was his boundless faith in man and God. He was a trail blazer who pushed constantly forward, over- coming all obstacles, no matter how great; steadfastly upholding his high ideals of loyalty, faith, and courage; and setting a standard which all are proud to follow. The body of Roosevelt is buried but the Roosevelt Spirit still lives. That can never die, but will remain forever enthroned in the hearts of the American people. It is the inculcation of all those qualities which made Roosevelt, the man, respected, loved, feared and followed. That Roosevelt Spirit is the thing this school is so earnestly endeavor- ing to embody. It is the unseen force that results in fair play, clean sport and a determination to win within the school. It is what “puts things across” and causes loyalty, faith and a desire to progress. It is the thing which creates a bond of union within the school causing everyone to move in perfect accord with one another, upholding com- mon ideals and striving toward a common goal. As time goes on it is the sincere desire of this school to embody more and more perfectly that wonderful thing, ROOSEVELT SPIRIT. PAGE 5 9 ao vd OUR BUILDING ROOSEVELT High School is conceded to be the finest high school build- ing on the Coast. It was under the course of construction for eighteen months and the total cost was $1,050,000. In its style and proportion it is a distinct departure in high school construction and is not only eminently well fitted for its purpose but is an example of marvelous artistry. Dignity is the one word that best characterizes this imposing structure. It is a massive square building of cream colored brick, trimmed with terra cotta. At one side there is an immense athletic field. There are five entrances, two on each side and one in front. Upon entering the front door you find yourself in a large foyer. Di- rectly off this foyer is the auditorium, which may be entered from all three floors. The balcony entrance is on the second floor and the gallery entrance on the third. It is furnished with opera chairs and accommodates fifteen hundred people. The mural decorations and lighting effects are examples of superb architectural achievement. Deep rose draperies add a pleasing color note to the general tone of gray. The acoustics are excel- lent. The auditorium contains an immense stage with property, wardrobe, and dressing rooms adjoining. Leading off the foyer, on the ground floor, are the halls which run around a court in the center of the building. These halls are eighty yards long, and there is a stairway situated at the end of each one. The classrooms are well lighted and contain the most modern equip- ment. There are thirty-three recitation rooms, six laboratories, five rooms for commercial and drawing subjects, two for dressmaking, two study halls, a specially designed music room, an oral expression room, and two art rooms, both of which contain window display cases. The library, on the second floor, is an architectural triumph. It is long, light, and beautifully decorated. It is simple and pleasing, and forms an ideal place for study. Adjoining the library is the large study hall, which contains a stage suitable for small entertainments. On the opposite side of the building are the girls’ and boys’ gymnasiums. They are large adjoining rooms and may be thrown together into one huge hall for social affairs. A large portion of the third floor hall is finished especially for an art gallery. The walls, which are made of soft wood, are covered with matting, making ideal display panels. The heating system in itself is a marvel. In the tunnel under the building there are twenty-seven miles of steam and water pipes and over fifteen hundred valves. The air for the building is taken in through screened openings on the roof, warmed, forced through a fine spray of water, and then circulated to the rooms. Roosevelt is undoubtedly a beautiful building, but it is not entirely the building which makes the school. It is the spirit of co-operation, of fair play, and the willingness “to do.” The students of Roosevelt have started this year with a new building and a new spirit, and they intend to live up to the best that is in them, in order that the name of Roosevelt may never be dishonored. p A G E 7 PRINCIPAL V.

Randall Vice President President James Beck Treasurer Miss Norton Adviser Virginia Herbsman Secretary Miss Vaupell Adviser THE SENIOR CLASS THE Class of 1923, coming, for the most part, from Lincoln High School, have had a very successful year under the capable advisership of Miss Norton and Miss Vaupell. To these two members of the faculty goes an enormous amount of credit for the satisfactory method by which they guided the Seniors through a final year of high school life. On the sixth of October the Senior class held its first meeting of the year for the nomination of officers. The officers finally elected were: President, Wesley Randall; vice president, Dave Froula; secretary, Virginia Herbsman; treasurer, James Beck; Roosevelt News representative, Sidney Patzer. The colors decided on were blue, orange, and maroon. Dues were fixed at fifty cents. At a meeting held early this spring the Class Day speakers were chosen by the class. The results were as follows: Class orator, Donald Nylen; class will writer, Sidney Patzer; class poet, Clark Wing; class historian, William Larkin; class prophet, Marjorie Leitch. PAGE 14 All Roosevelt Seniors were invited to Lincoln to attend the Lincoln Senior Mixer. On Thursday, the sixteenth of November, the Seniors forgot their sorrows in the biggest event of the year, the Senior Mixer. The Lincoln High School Seniors were invited and came over in full force. The first part of the assembly in the auditorium was featured by talks from the two presidents—Roy Leighton of Lincoln and Wesley Randall of Roosevelt. Both speeches emphasized the good will existing between the schools, and both speakers met the good will of their audience. Also on the program were a clever chalk talk by Wayne Doty, several clarinet solos by Ronald Phillips, and two short skits. Merlyn Bullis, Amelia Alvey, and Logan Anderson appeared in an umbrella stunt, and Lewis Teegarden, Virginia Herbsman, and Leo McCullough played in a three-act pantomime. After a three-quarter-hour program in the auditorium, the Seniors went to the gymnasiums, where the dance was held. April the twentieth was the date of the next big affair, the Senior Matinee. This proved to be another success. Roosevelt Seniors, as befits the first graduating class of a wonderful new high school, started many customs and undertook many projects. The class of ’23 showed the way for other classes by almost unanimous- ly approving of the Roosevelt High School standardized pin. The Seniors decided at the first meeting of the year to back the pur- chase of a motion picture machine, and this machine has since proved itself a great boon to the school. “Sherwood,” the grand dramatic climax of the year, was the biggest effort of the class of '23. On the fifteenth and sixteenth of December came this wonderful play, in which over one-third of the Seniors partici- pated. Leads in the play were Virginia Herbsman as Lady Marian, Lewis Teegarden as Robin Hood, Marjorie Leitch as Shadow-of-a-Leaf, Kyle Taylor as Prince John, and Eunice MacTaggart as Queen Elinor. Early in the school year, a streamer across the bottom of the front page of the “Roosevelt News” disclosed the fact that every Senior had subscribed to the school paper. The class of ’23, during its one year in the newest Seattle high school, showed that it was capable of much hard work by winning the Boys’ and Girls’ Club scholarship pennant for having the largest percentage on the school honor roll. Five Seniors are members of the championship debate team. These boys are Wesley Randall, William Larkin, Floyd Whitmore, Donald Nylen, and James Beck. Seniors on the first year football team were Harold Shidler, Stanley Hedwall, Wade McCullough, and Leslie Alyea. These same boys were also officers in the Boys’ Club. Two Seniors won first team basketball letters, Anton Gritsch and Stanley Mullane. Thus the class of ’23 has shown itself to be what a good senior class should be, the leader and example for the rest of the school. And the honor rests on this year’s Seniors, the Class of 1923, to be the first graduating class from Roosevelt High School. PAGE 15 Senior Honor Roll DENNISTON JOHNSON NYLEN STAGER GIDDENS WEAVER FROULA LARKIN RANDALL JANSEN THESE ten Seniors, representing the best in scholarship in Roosevelt High School, have shown their aptitude for high school work by all making 25 A’s or better. Frances Denniston, valedictorian, was a member of the Torch Society, and was on many committees during her four years in high school. Helen Stager, salutatorian, while not studying to make her thirty-one A’s, took an active interest in all Senior activities. Osa Weaver was accompanist for the orchestra, associate editor of the Annual, and was in the Girls’ Glee Club. Bernadine Giddens was always working for the good of Roosevelt. Olivia Froula was in the Senior Play, and was recording secretary of the Girls’ Club. Phyllis Jansen, besides work in journalism, took part in athletics. Wesley Randall, one of the four boys on the list, besides being well up in his studies, was exceptionally active in school projects. He was in the Senior Play, made the state and city debate teams, managed roll basketball, was president of his class, and had a part in the “Roosevelt Revue.” William Larkin also was in the Senior Play, “Sherwood,” made the city and state teams in debate, was president of the Torch Society, and was on various committees around school. Donald Nylen debated, had a part in “Sherwood,” and was prominent for making speeches in assemblies. He was president of the History Club. Albin Johnson was also exceedingly prominent in school activities. FAGE 16 NAME—Edward Aamodt ALIAS—Ed or Eddie. Accused of—Entering from Gooding, Idaho. Pleaded -Academic Course.

They may be well satisfied with the results of this year’s activities. The class has set high standards and lived up to them. The members have profited by their two years’ previous experience in high schools and done much to make their class worthy of the position it holds. It occupied a most enviable position in that it was the first Junior group to assemble with in the walls of the finest educa- tional institution in the Northwest—Roosevelt High. The students chosen to lead their class were Franklin Wilde, president, who had had experience in this capacity as president of his Freshman class at Lincoln; Annabell Hall, vice president; Beatrice DeRemier,- secretary; and Pat Winston, treasurer. Much of the success of this class was due to the very able assistance rendered and advice given by its advisers, Miss Beecher and Miss Johnstone. Juniors held high positions outside the bounds of class activities. Gertrude Standard was corresponding secretary for the Girls’ Club and Jean Mackintosh was recording secretary. Junior boys also played an im- portant part in Boys’ Club work. Orville Borgerson held the office of treasurer. School activities would have suffered had it not been for the Juniors. Gordon Bruce, Everett Nowell, Franklin Wilde, Carl Martin, and James March represented the class on the first team in football, and Thomas Hyllengren, Bert Astrup, Jerrold Ballaine, Henry Yamaoka, and Orville Borgerson were on the second team. Pat Winston aptly filled the position of manager of the team, and Ed Hagist that of custodian. Junior members of the first basketball team were Earl (Monty) Snider, Ed Hagist, Everett Nowell, Don Day, and James Hyllengren. Who says girls’ athletics aren’t important? The interclass basketball games worked up to a soaring point of interest until the battle stood between Juniors and Seniors. This big championship game was well attended, each class having a grandstand decorated in its colors. Maroon and Gray, Junior class colors, were very much in evidence. The contest resulted in a victory for the Juniors, tying the games and making it necessary for a deciding game to be played. This time the Seniors won. PAGE 39 Junior Officers Annabell Hall Pat Winston Beatrice De Remier President Treasurer Secretary Miss Beecher Miss Johnstone Adviser Adviser The members of the first team were Miriam Scholl, Mary Bothell, Florence Logg, Irma Zintheo, Mercer Gregory, Louise Parrington, Blanche Hamilton, Margaret Boyd, and Beatrice DeRemier. The class was well l-epresented by orators. Elise Wolz and Dennis Dean made a good showing on the City Debate team, while Pat Winston and Elmer Carlson came out on top in the Interclass debates. The Juniors’ Joyous Jubilees, or in other words, the Matinees, were very successful. The Seniors were the guests of the Juniors at the fii-st gathering. Dancing and refreshments made up the program. Considerable interest centered around a prize fox trot won by Charline Hoffman and Lloyd Turnacliff. At the matinee of the second semester the Juniors of Lincoln were very welcome visitors. The best has been saved till the last—the Torch Society. There were thirty-two numbered in the ranks of this honorable club. By the mid-year, seven members had received enough points to get the much-sought-after torch. These people were Blanche Hamilton, Virginia Jackson, Mark Jensen, Alda Odsen, Evangeline Wallace, Osa Weaver, and Beatrice DeRemier. PAGE 40 THE JUNIOR CLASS PAGE 41 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS WITH a year of school life behind us, we now look back on the events of one of the best years of school. The members of the class of ’25 may feel satisfied at the successful year they have had in scholar- ship and activities, for they have excelled in both. Officers for this year were elected early in September. Walter Rhodes was chosen to lead the class, with able officers to assist him. Ruth Anderson was elected vice president; Talmage Gray, secretary; and Carl Jensen, treasurer. Besides these officers to help the class, the advisers, Miss Gleditzsch and Miss Mullon, were never failing in their kindly advice. With real pride the class can boast of the number of members in the Torch Society. There are forty-two members who wear the Sophomore pin and eleven members who are entitled to the Junior pin. The pennant offered by the Boys’ Club was awarded to John Whitelaw for making the greatest improvement in grades. The Sophomores lead all other classes in this society, living up to the tradition of being “wise fools.” Athletics is one of the most important high school activities, and both the Sophomore boys and girls made a good showing in the different sports. Football claimed a large number of letter men from the class this year. Those winning letters on the first team were Harry Hinkle and Mack Wilmot. The second team letter men were Neil Anderson, Bob Garland, Elgin Gardner, Loren Gray, Bob Douglas, and Walter Rhodes. Bob Garland was on the second basketball team. The new jerseys were given to the Sophomore basketball team by the class, and the boys showed their appre- ciation by bringing home a championship to Roosevelt. The letter men were Lloyd Selig, Clarence Berlin, Richard Bullock, Hugh Benton, Elgin Gardner, Charles Hartnett, and Byrl Wells. Sophomore girls, too, entered into athletics with real spirit. Although they lost to the upper classmen, they had little difficulty in defeating the Freshmen. Letters were won by Sylvia McDermid, Katherine Moore, Verna Knight, Geraldine Burkett, Dallas Jansen, Jeanette Dean, Peggy Scott, Alice Lopp, and Margaret Doty. The class was well represented in Inter-Class Debate by Albion Frick and LeRoy Johnson. Charles Strother was a member of the State Debate Team which won the championship for Roosevelt. PAGE 42 Sophomore Officers Walter Rhodes President Miss Gleditzsch Adviser Ruth Anderson Vice President Carl Jensen Treasurer Talmage Gray Secretary Miss Mullon Adviser The Sophomoi'e Glee will long: be remembered by the class. The first thing on the program was “The Exchange,” a humorous two-act playlet, given in the auditorium. The play was too good for the rest of the school to miss, so all students were invited. Charles Strother as the Judge played his part well. Jeanette Dean as the Imp gave an exhibition of exceptional talent. Elliott Bogert, the Poor Man, and Robert Moore, the Rich Man, put many laughs into the play. Eleanor Ernst’s part as the Vain Woman was splendidly done. After the play, the members of the class went to the gym, where the entertainment committee had prepared surprises for them. On this program were blind-boxing, jumping for the doughnut, pillow fights, and races. The Sophomore orchestra furnished thrilling music throughout the program. Those playing in the orchestra were Carl Schmidt, Allison Forbes, Jack Carey, Carl Leaf, Hurlburt Moulton, Millard Smith, and Frank James. The refreshment committee served excellent punch, doughnuts, and cakes. Thus has passed an interesting and eventful year. The Sophomores are now ready to become Juniors. Of course, it will be nice to be upper- classmen, but the years as Juniors and Seniors can never be more pleasant than this past one has been. PAGE 4 3 PAGE 44 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS THE FRESHMAN CLASS SHOWING the snap and enthusiasm that is typical of “The Rough Riders,” the Freshman class established a standard that any of the following Freshman classes may be proud to uphold. The first meeting, held October 3, 1922, was a wild and tumultuous affair resembling the “Irish Rebellion.” Proving that the Freshmen have the well-known “pepper,” there were thirty-six nominations for offices. Two weeks later the class elected Allen Alexander president, Fenton Drake vice president, Carl Linstead secretary, and Roland Burrows treasurer. Bill Stuart gave a talk recommending the standardized pin for all classes graduating from Roosevelt High School, which was later approved by vote of the class. The following constitution committee was appointed: Grace Barnes, Gayton Bailey, Carl Linstead, Phyllis Woodhouse, and Alfred Anderson. The next spirit rouser was held the first week of November in Room 104. The constitution was read and approved. It was decided that class dues should be fifteen cents each semester of the Freshman year. Helen Adair, chairman of the color committee, showed samples of class colors, and green and white were adopted by the class. Ten dollars was voted to the Torch Society and twelve dollars for jerseys for the class basketball team. Allen Alexander, president, appointed the following to serve on the frolic com- mittee: Helen Adair, Wilson Gaw, Herbert Stray, Arthur Garton, and Mildred Willering. A new office was instituted, that of News representa- tive, to which Dick Jackson was elected. The first basketball turnout was called early in the season by Coach Scheer. A large number of men responded, but in a few weeks the squad was cut down to the following eight men: Captain Lefty Garton, Allen Alexander, Lloyd Thelberg, Louis Linstead, Charles White, Kerm Rodgers, Wilson Gaw, and Dick Jackson. Dick Jackson was the only one who failed to win the numerals. Most of the players were football men. Because of poor management of traveling resources, the team lost the Broadway game by a score of fourteen to thirteen, which put them in second place, where PAGE 45 Frosh Officers Roland Burrows President Maxine Sarvis William Allison Vice President Treasurer Miss Baker Adviser Dorothy Rhodes Secretary Miss Chilberg Adviser they remained to the end of the season. Coach Scheer was presented with a sweater by “Lefty” Carton on behalf of the team as a token of their appreciation of his earnest work in developing future first team men. The first meeting of the second semester was held March 5 in Room 104, and was presided over by Roland Burrows in the absence of the president and vice president. Nominations were made for second semester officers, and the next week the following were elected: Roland Burrows, president; Maxine Sarvis, vice president; Dorothy Rhodes, secretary; Wil- liam Allison, treasurer; and Alex Winston, News representative. The new program committee, consisting of Louise Sanfield, chairman; Sumner Gregory, Jessie Henderson, Charlotte McDonald, and Dick Jackson, prepared some jolly class meetings and a good play during the second semester. Miss Chilberg and Miss Baker, our advisers, deserve the whole-hearted thanks of the class for the superb work and aid in giving us the right start in high school life.

The election gave to Harold Shidler the honored position of president. Harold left Roosevelt, by graduation, in the mid-year, leaving his office to the care of Stanley Hedwall, who was the vice president. To Wade McCullough was presented the position of secretary. Leslie Alyea, our football captain, also left us in mid-year. Orville Borgersen, after a close race with Howard McLeod and John Holmes, succeeded him. The Constitution Committee, composed of Harold Shidler, chairman; V. Ray Stuart, Gordon Bruce, James March, and Dave Froula, produced a well-written constitution. The Social Service Committee, of which V. Ray Stuart was the chair- man, assisted by Bob Padelford, Don Day, Elgin Gardner, William Larkin, and Orlando Quinnell, has done considerable good work in tending to the needs of the Theodora and Washington Children’s Homes. The Committee cooperating with the girls gave entertainments in making Christmas and Thanksgiving happy days for the little ones. Christmas was celebrated by the giving of presents to the orphans at a Christmas Tree Assembly. V. Ray Stuart acted as Santa Claus. All of this work has been supervised by Miss Willcox, and the club is indebted to her for her willing services. PAGE 51 The Banquet Committee, composed of Dave Froula, chairman, George Willoughby, Pat Winston, James March, and John Holmes, succeeded in their end of making more firm the relation between father and son. The evening of the Father and Son Banquet was begun by a hearty meal and good music. The celebration then concluded with talks by Dr. Templeton, Mr. Winston, and jokes by the late Mr. King, a very able toastmaster. The Football Matinee was a great success under Bernard Altick, chair- man, with Leo McCullough, Grant Phillips, and Ralph Waggener. The music was rendered by home talent which proved itself quite worthy of the occasion. Miss La Nore Smith also enlivened the matinee with a very pretty dance. Leo McCullough, chairman of the Spring Athletic Dance, had good success in his undertaking. Kyle Taylor, chosen chairman of the Vaudeville Committee, achieved the end by producing a series of very interesting and unique acts in the Roosevelt Revue. Lutie Hickox was chairman of the Cap Committee. Bert Astrup was chairman of roll baseball and roll volley ball. Late in the year of 1922, Pat Winston and Olivia Fuula, as leaders of the “R” Book Committee, added another novelty to the school. They brought together all the events of the calendar into a neat and handy book entitled the “R” Book. Orville Borgersen, chairman of the ticket committee, with the help 01 Bob Logan and Francis Ballaine, has handled his work in an efficient manner. Don Day, of the Spirit Committee, has done notable work in arousing and fostering the growing Roosevelt spirit. Elgin Gardner and James Murphy deserve honorable mention for providing ushers to the numerous school events. The employment secretary for the first semester was Lutie Hickox, the second semester Alex Winston. The Boys’ Club, striving, succeeded in bringing the athletic field and gym to a great number, rather than a select few who participate in athletics. The Boys’ Club is much indebted to the many members of the faculty who have helped them in their work. The Big “R” Club of Roosevelt, under the advisership of Coach Dvorak, has already organized. V. Ray Stuart, chairman of the Medical Committee of Roosevelt, has started a campaign to gather data on the subject, which is to be told to the various high schools by the committee. The Club owes much to the Girls’ Club under the advisership of Miss Glass for its spirit and cooperation in all undertakings. The Club was an active and representative body of Roosevelt all last year, and promises to be a working cog for Roosevelt in future years. PAGE 52 JOINT ACTIVITIES “Woman is man’s natural ally.”—Eurypedes. THUS spake the master playwright of Greece. We thoroughly agree with him. In one short year the student body of Roosevelt has become convinced of the wisdom of cooperation between these “natural allies.” So joint activities of the Roosevelt Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs seem to have come to stay. Henceforth, no worthy school project will stagger us, however difficult, so long as it promises to give added luster to the name and fame of Roosevelt. Working together in the bonds of Rooseveltian loyalty we will “put it over.” The first project undertaken by “the allies” was that of getting out the “R” book. A committee headed by Olivia Froula and Pat Winston gathered together the data, organized, typed, edited, and published it. The next joint enterprise was the Football Matinee Dance, one that will long be remembered in the annals of Roosevelt High. The gymnasiums were decorated with evergreens and autumn leaves so combined as to produce a woodsy fairyland in Roosevelt Green and Gold. Good music, good punch, and a good crowd so united their magic influences that every- one declared it was “the best time ever.” Eunice McTaggart and Bernard Altick headed the committee responsible for the affair. Pennants, tennis rackets, baseballs and bats, and a wondrous canopy of green and gold streamers were the novel decorations for the Spring Athletic Dance, while punch was served by two Irish colleens. A spirit of democracy plus delightful music helped to make this informal dance a joyous affair. Leo McCullough and Eunice McTaggart were the Scotchy combination at the head of this committee. The Joint School Improvement Committee has distinguished itself by decorating the building appropriately for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and by furnishing greens and dogwood decorations for the Torch Society banquet. They also planned and promoted Roosevelt’s first “Campus Day,” which has resulted in the beautifying of our school grounds. Perhaps the most noteworthy example of the miracles that can be wrought by cooperation is the splendid record made by the Joint Social Service Committee. At Thanksgiving time they prepared, through the rolls, boxes and barrels filled with food stuffs for fifty-seven families, represent- ing two hundred and sixty-five individuals. These gifts were all delivered by the committee on Thanksgiving morning. The major part of their efforts has been for the benefit of two children’s institutions of the city, the Washington Children’s Home and the Theodora Home. The first project in their behalf was a call for pencils and paper. This was followed by an appeal for jellies, jams, and marmalade. Christmas became a true festival. Books and toys were given to the Theodora Home, in response to letters written to Santa Claus by the children telling what each most desired. The little ones of the Washington PAGE 53 Children’s Home were guests of the school at a beautiful Christmas panto- mime followed by carols and a wonderful tree with gifts delivered by Santa Claus himself and his fairy helpers. Since the holidays the projects have been gifts of handkerchiefs and collections of picture pages from magazines, picture postals, magazine covers, and magic pages. Each high school was asked this year to contribute a quota of ten cents per pupil to the Junior Red Cross work. A special assembly with a speaker was held on May Day, that the pupils might know more about this work. Later in the week all who attended the moving picture show were given Junior Red Cross buttons and the proceeds used to meet Roosevelt’s quota. The year’s work closed with a book project, each boy and girl being asked to contribute one book from his own library. These books will bring endless hours of enjoyment to their recipients. Who will say that the boys and girls of Roosevelt have not been learn- ing one lesson more valuable than all the others! “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The Joint Scholarship Committee has made an enviable record of suc- cessful service under the leadership of Frances Strong and Don Nylen. Through its efforts beautiful class pennants are being completed for each quarter, the winning class being that one which succeeds in garnering the highest percentage of A’s. This committee has also inaugurated an eight o’clock opportunity class where students who are falling down in their work are helped and spurred on to better things. As a consequence our pro- bation list of the first semester was cut down from 114 to 22, a record of improvement to be proud of. Due to the suggestion of this committee, Roosevelt pennants are awarded each quarter to the boy and girl making the greatest improvement in their grades. The last All-Boys’-and-Girls’-Club event was the “Roosevelt Revue”— an amateur vaudeville which Miss Whitmire pronounced the best she ever witnessed. Shall we ever forget Chocolate Drop and Dill Pickle, Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean, Burr’s Teddy Bears, the marvelous Fashion Show, the spooky Ghost’s Banquet, Rosalie, the Cat’n Fiddle Inn, “Rummy” Montague, or “Julie” Capulet? And oh! those Wood Nymphs! Kyle Taylor, Eunice McTaggart and their committee are to be congratulated. Under the directing guidance of Miss Glass and Mr. Morgan these activities couldn’t help but flourish, for they were always ready with help- ful suggestions and sympathetic supervision, while the student body always stood ready with enthusiastic support. We are also under a great debt of gratitude to Miss Willcox, who piloted the Social Service Committee through its laudable career, Miss Tomlinson, who advised the School Im- provement Committee, and Mr. Rarig, who has so wisely counseled the Scholarship Committee. The two clubs working together have proved a mighty force in our high school life and ours is the joy of co-operation and achievement. Roosevelt takes off its sombrero and waves its bright bandanna to the unqualified success of the Joint Activities of the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs. PAGE 54 Girls’ Club Officers Gertrude Standard Jean Mackintosh Corresponding Sec. Recording Sec. Virginia Jackson Merlyn Bullis President Vice President Muriel Appleton Miss Glass Olivia Froula Ex-Treasurer Adviser Treasurer THE ROOSEVELT GIRLS’ CLUB WHEN school opened last September, the girls of Roosevelt High School were handed a fair and spotless page on which to write a memorable record of achievement. Now at the close of our first wonderful year, as we pause to review all that the Roosevelt Girls’ Club has accomplished, we feel that it has fully justified the high hopes of its school girl founders. Our club has been like a tree planted in the walled garden of girlhood. Though but a tiny seedling last fall, it was so devotedly watered and tended by those who had faith in its possibilities that it has grown and flourished as the months have passed, spreading out into many and varied branches of activity. First it put forth the little green leaves of hopes and dreams, those necessary forerunners of successful achievement. It then gradually unfolded the colorful blossoms of happy friendships, heart-warming frolics, the glowing joys of group life, together with all manner of cooperative enter- p A G E 5 5 prises for accomplishing splendid things for the school. Thus there was wafted about the school world the pervasive fragrance of fine thoughts and plans for the glory of Roosevelt High and the welfare of the community. But, best of all, throughout the many branches of our club life there has ripened the golden fruit of good deeds well done. Surely this has been a triumph of idealism in this all-too-thoughtless, all-too-heedless, everyday, work-a-day world. And so we have the Roosevelt Girls’ Club, an institution for the transmutation of high-souled idealism into the stern stuff of prac- tical reality—a democratic institution founded on the corner-stone of Service, whose chief by-product has been “beaucoup” joy. Incidentally, we have been initiated into the great secret of the age-long mystery of happiness — that of living strenuously “all for one and one for all. Our unanimously elected president, Virginia Jackson, has been, without a doubt, “the queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls,” while Miss Glass has acted as chief counselor of the realm (or as wise gardener among her seven hundred girl roses). Early in the game a very modern touch was added to the high-walled garden. Thanks to the insight of Miss Glass and Mr. Morgan, a portion of the enclosing wall was knocked out and a beautiful gateway of mutual understanding and helpfulness installed that opened into the (to us) un- charted jungle of boyhood, where mighty hunters go out after big game such as football championships, debate championships, and the like. Because of this friendly gateway opened between the romantically beautiful realm of girlhood and the thrillingly adventurous realm of boyhood, Roosevelt has developed its very efficient “Joint Activities” of the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs which have proved to be our chief glory. These activities are reviewed elsewhere. Suffice it to say that the Girls’ Club is “all for” the joint activity policy. The machinery of government in the Roosevelt Girls’ Club comprises an Inner Council of five elected officers, a Cabinet composed of the aforesaid officers plus the twenty-five heads of departments appointed by the president, each of whom is under the direct supervision of one of the officers and has a committee working under her leadership. There is also the Club Council, of forty elected roll representatives, which democratic body forms the connecting link between the Cabinet (the executive body) and the roll rooms (the “home districts” of the club members). To the roll representatives is due, largely, the credit for the success of our “drives,” the announcing of important information, the conducting of club elections, the collecting of club dues, and the directing of “referendum” votes on matters of club policy. Each of these governing bodies has met once a month in addition to the regular monthly meetings of the entire club membership. The chief speakers at these last-mentioned Girls’ Assemblies have been Mr. Tracy Strong, of the Y. M. C. A.; Miss Ruth Brown, state director of Camp Fire Girls; and members of the club and faculty. In addition to these meetings a series of vocational talks given by experts for Junior and Senior girls was put through in the spring semester. A brief review of the work of the various club committees might serve as a chronicle of the year’s work. Speakers’ Committee: Provided speakers for assemblies and vocational talks. PAGE 56 Girin’ Roll Representatives Music Committee: Provided music for assemblies and parties. Entertainment Committee: Has promoted and organized democratic social life by engineering four large parties for all the gii'ls in school: the Autumn Mixer—a clever program followed by a hair-raising and hilarious circus with trained animals, clowns, bare-back riders, peanuts, red lemonade, ’n everything; the Christmas Party—a masquerade ball, charmingly spec- tacular with entertainment numbers, popcorn crisps, and jolly old St. Nick himself; the Valentine Party—a dandy program followed by a dance in the gyms gaily festooned with red paper hearts; the May Party in honor of our beloved mothers—a fine program followed by a delightful tea. Decoration Committee: Decorated gyms and art gallery for these occasions. Refreshment Committee: Provided the “eats” for all these functions. Fellowship Committee: Sponsored the Big Sister movement, providing each entering Freshman with a Senior or Junior sister; gave “get-ac- quainted” parties, one each semester, for girls other than Freshmen who were newcomers in the district and the school. Four O’clock Tea Committee: Gave monthly teas in library or art gallery for the P.-T. A. at the close of their regular meetings; a Christmas Tea with holly decorations and tea maids in red and green crepe paper frills and aprons serving Christmas cookies; a Pink Tea with pink carnations, pink candles, and pink frosted cakes; a Valentine Tea with red hearts, tulips, candles, and red heart-shaped aprons on the “maids”; and a Cherry Blossom Tea with sprays of spring blossoms everywhere, Japanese lanterns swinging overhead, while girls in kimonos served tea and rice-cakes. These teas, at ten cents per, have helped replenish the club treasury. The committee also served coffee and doughnuts at the P.-T. A. and Dads’ Night. Scholarship Committee: In addition to its joint activities, has put up a Roosevelt pennant each quai'ter for the girl making the biggest improve- ment in grades. School Improvement Committee: Aside from its joint activities, pur- P AGE 57 chased, planted, and tended many bulbs that beautified class rooms during the dark winter months. Social Service Committee: Over and above joint service with Boys’ Club, the girls alone organized the Fairy Fingers, a Wednesday darning club, under Mrs. Lasle.v’s capable supervision, which has mended stockings for the “kiddies” of the Washington Children’s Home. Moreover, the sewing classes of the school have made cute “nighties” of pink and blue cotton flannel for our little orphan friends, the Girls’ Club paying for the material. Good Cheer Committee: Has written letters and sent flowers to sick schoolmates. Manners and Dress Committee: Working in conjunction with repre- sentatives from all the city high schools, helped to formulate the Creed, the Code and the Wish of the Seattle high school girl. After these standards of conduct had been formally adopted by our club, every member received a mimeographed copy of them. Later every girl was presented with a cardboard folder on which the Creed is artistically printed. Grammar School Committee: Went to the schools in our district and told the eighth grade girls of the opportunities and the welcome that awaited them at Roosevelt, inviting them to visit the building and be piloted around on a tour of inspection. Talent Committee: Classifed and tabulated information as to ability and committee preferences collected on the Girls’ Club questionnaires each semester. Publicity Committee: Has seen we were well written up. Poster Committee: Has graphically advertised our special events. Scrap-Book Committee: Has pasted into the Club Memory Book our accumulated souvenirs and newspaper clippings. Bulletin Committee: Has kept our bulletin board in order. Finance Committee: Handled the “R” books, sold postcard pictures of the school, and took up the silver offering at P.-T. A. teas. Furnishing Committee: Purchased and made up a dozen pillow slips for the Rest Room, provided it with first aid equipment as well as with thread, thimbles, needles, and pins. Rest Room Committee: Has arranged for Junior and Senior girl attendants to be on duty in the Rest Room every period in the day. Typing Committee: Typed copy for the “R” book and did the club’s odd jobs in that line. Athletic Committee: One of the most important in the club. Has pro- moted girls’ sports, secured the use of Cowen Park tennis courts, boosted for a hockey field and equipment for next fall, paid for letters awarded our star athletic girls, and made arrangements for the Girls’ Athletic Banouet. They also backed up boys’ sports, presented the football team with a first aid kit, and purchased bunting to make green and gold tunics which the gii'ls wore as they sat en masse at the football games. Lost and Found Committee: Has maintained a bureau and thus restored many lost articles to their owners, or, if unclaimed, sold them at a grab bag sale at the close of the semester. Employment Committee: Has placed thirty girls in positions, thus enabling them partially or wholly to earn their way through school. The Minute Girls: Have served as ushers and guides on all state occasions, and have done “handy-andy” emergency jobs. The Aurora Guards: With flaming locks much in evidence, served as “cup-bearers to the gods” on the night of the Torch Society Banquet and were the special reception committee at the tea party for our mothers. Thus our club has functioned through the channels of its committees. And now, looking back over the busy, happy months, every girl in Roose- velt glows with satisfaction over the success of the year’s undertakings, and pledges anew her loyal allegiance to the very best Girls’ Club in all the world.

Vice President TORCH SOCIETY WITH one of the largest memberships in the city, the Torch Society of Roosevelt achieved distinct success in its work during its first year. The society was organized early in the school year, when a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: William Larkin, president; Evangeline Wallace, vice president; and Charles Strother, secretary-treasur- er. The name of “Torch Society” was unanimously adopted. The Torch Society felt that, in keeping with the spirit of school service, one of the biggest things it could do was to coach failing students. The system of coaching was originated and directed by Beatrice De Remier’s Scholarship Committee, with the help of Miss Chappell, the adviser. Ma- terial results were realized and the scholastic standard of the school raised. Members of the society have also served as ushers at school affairs, such as the senior play, opera, etc. At the first meeting of the executive board, composed of the adviser and the officers, the standing committees were named: Scholarship, Beatrice De Remier, chairman; School Service, Don Nylan, chairman. During the first semester a number of Sophomores earned enough points to permit them to wear the Junior pin and several Juniors earned the right to wear the Torch pin. To give recognition to these students an assembly was held in midyear. The society was fortunate enough to secure Dean Condon of the University of Washington as the principal speaker. On April 20 came an event which will long be remembered by the members of the Torch Society, the first social event of the society. It was a banquet given by the Parent-Teacher Association. After a splendid dinner, with the president acting as toastmaster, a program of speeches and music was given. Mrs. Romeyn Jansen sang several songs. Professor E. S. Meany gave the principal talk of the evening, after which the members adjourned to the auditorium, where they were entertained by a movie.

PAGE 61 THE FORENSIC SOCIETY THE Forensic Society was organized shortly after school commenced, for the purpose of improving debating and elocution in Roosevelt High School. At the first meeting of importance a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: president, Wesley Randall; vice president, Donald Nylen; secretary, Floyd Whitmore; treasurer, William Larkin; business manager, Charles Strother; sergeant-at-arms, Clifford MacDonald. The following membership committee was elected: Senior representative, James Beck; Junior representative, Elise Wolz; Sophomore representative, Mary Louise Jones; Freshman representative, Dorothy Chandler. Floyd Whitmore succeeded Wesley Randall as presiding officer the second semester. The membership committee made the following requirements for mem- bership : “The candidates must give either a debate with four-minute con- structive speeches and two-minute rebuttals, or a four-minute oration.” These requirements prevent people from becoming members who are not interested enough to take active parts in the Forensic Society. The mem- bership is indeed composed of people with intellect and ability to speak or debate before an audience. Each of the state debaters, who won the state district championship, held an office in the society. The state and city debaters automatically became members. A motion was also made to allow underclass debaters to automatically become members. It can be well imagined how these debaters made the meetings interesting and active. 1 he programs of the meetings consisted of debates, discussions, orations, speeches, readings, and music. These programs were very interesting and the members acquired considerable experience in speaking and debating, let alone the knowledge they acquired in preparing debates and discussions. There was always more or less humor and wit in the programs. The Forensic Society did much to promote and develop debate and to cultivate an interest in it. One phase which it successfully handled was the inter-class debates. Those who were interested in inter-class debates tried out and two were chosen from each class by judges from the society. The Senior debaters were Orlando Quinnell and Stanford Clinton; Junior debaters, Elmer Carlson and Pat Winston; Sophomore debaters, Albion Frick and LeRoy Johnson; Freshman debaters, Charlotte MacDonald and Orin Cassmore. The Juniors and Seniors were coached by members of the society. A motion was passed to have certificates printed similar to diplomas to be given to the city and state debaters to show they have represented Roosevelt in debate and are entitled to wear the debating emblem of Roose- velt High. Donald Nylen and Floyd Whitmore were appointed to represent the Forensic Society at the all-city debate conference which organized a per- manent organization for all the debate clubs in the Seattle high schools. Many of the state and city debaters graduate this year. It is sincerely hoped, however, that those who come back next fall will make the Forensic Society a bigger and better debate club and carry out the purpose for which it was organized—to develop debaters so the debate championship may be won each year by Roosevelt. PAGE 62 French Club LE TRICOLORE THE officers for the first semester were: president, Leslie Weedin; vice president, Virginia Jackson; secretary, Laura Lasley; treasurer, Fred Miller; News representative, Marjory Wells. The officers for the second semester were: president, Mark Jensen; vice president, Marjory Wells; secretary, Leif Melson; Treasurer, Laura Lasley; News repesentative, Ardys Hulen. Le Tricolore was organized by the first period French Five class. The meetings were held -first period, thereby avoiding any conflict in after- school activities. The first semester a short farce was presented in the auditorium to all the French students in the school. The farce was entitled “La Surprise d’lsidore.” The part of the Docteur was taken by Mark Jensen, who portrayed the part of a dignified personage, much to the delight of the audience. Who but Eloise Johnson could have taken the part of the charming wife, Suzanne, who was always shouting “Au voleur”? The vigi- lant mother-in-law who used every weapon that came to hand, was none other than Phyllis Jansen, who caused the audience to howl. Marjorie Wells, the demure little maid, Jeanne, fell in love with the dashing young man with the black moustache (which just wouldn’t stay put), who, by the way, was Dick Relf. The name Tricolore was chosen because it referred to the three colors in the French flag. In order to assure friendship between the king and the city of Paris, they joined the white flag of the king to the blue and the red, colors which were in the coat of arms of the city of Paris. PAGE 63 Biology Club ROOSEVELT BIOLOGY CLUB THE Roosevelt Biology Club was organized September 22, 1922, under the guidance of Miss Tomlinson. The officers for the first semester were: president, Beatrice De Remier; vice president, Allison Luther- man; secretary and treasurer, Frances Strong; and News representative, Florence McIntosh. The officers for the second semester were: president, Ella Connolly; vice president, Rose Ann McKenney; secretary and treasurer, Frances Strong; and News representative, Merlyn Bullis. Regular meetings are held once every two weeks, and the programs are planned by committees of the members. Several interesting lectures have been given, such as a lecture on “Birds of Washington” illustrated with colored slides given by Mrs. Compton. “The Parasite on the Gypsy Moth” and “The Oyster” were given by Mr. Kincaid, professor of science at the University of Washington, and one of the foremost scientists of the world. Lectures on the “Physiography of Washington” and on “The Salmon” were given by Mr. Landes. At many of the meetings talks have been given by the members. The club planned a party to be given at school, but the snow vacation interfered and a hike was planned instead. The first was a joint hike out to the park where the old fire bell is, near Pontiac, with the Lincoln Biology Club. The second was to Golden Gardens, and the third was down Salmon Creek to the Sound. The Biology Club wish to extend their thanks to Miss Tomlinson and Mr. Landes for their help and enthusiasm which has enabled the club to become a real factor in school life. PAGE 64 RADIO CLUB THE Radio Club at Roosevelt this year has attempted a goal that might well be envied. Of the twelve members, nine are licensed operators, the other three working hard to attain that goal. Few other radio clubs can boast of as high a percentage as shown here this year. The Roosevelt High Amateur Radio Club was organized on October 9, 1922, for the purpose of bettering the radio art and for proficiency in radio telegraphy. The officers selected for the first semester were: Bert Lozott, president; Bob Murray, vice president; Bill Lozott, secretary; Ware Withrow, treasurer; Bob Flagler, news reporter; and Bill Reid, custodian. The second semester they were: Ware Withrow, president and custodian; Bob Flagler, vice president; Fred Haug, secretary; Bob Murray, treasurer; and Bill Reid, news reporter. The Radio Club this first year has been greatly handicapped by lack of material and the proper settings. They finally were granted Room 216 as the Radio Shack and proceeded to move in. One of the members gener- ously donated his complete transmitting and receiving set, with which fairly creditable work was done. The lack of a proper aerial, however, prevented it from being entirely successful. As the school board has not seen its way clear to provide the Club with a transmitter and receiver it was obvious that the Club itself must construct both. Work has been started on both and it is hoped they will be finished by the end of the semester. The mem- bers of the Club feel satisfied in this first year’s work and hope to better it in the next. ROOSEVELT HISTORY CLUB THE Roosevelt History Club is the most recent club to be founded in the school. Florence McLeod deserves the honor of being its origi- nator. The success of this club is due very much to its worthy and helpful director, Mr. Cox. Donald Nylen has the honor of being the leader of the club, its first president, and Eunice Schuster its vice president. The offices of secretary-treasurer and business manager are being held by Eugene Levinson and Loretta Sandall, respectively. The purpose and object of the club is to further and give a wider study of historical questions confronting the world. It also has for its object to make its members familiar with the customs and the history of foreign countries. These two objects are carried out by securing speakers to give talks on various historical subjects and problems. Speakers who have lived in or had experience in foreign countries are also secured to give talks. The club, although still in its infancy, has achieved remarkable success. All the speakers that have spoken to the club have been highly appreciated and enjoyed by the entire club. An interesting talk was given by Miss Glass entitled, “Historical Places in Europe I Have Visited.” Members of the club and students who have lived in or had experiences in foreign countries have also served as speakers. Talks of a very interesting and valuable character have been given by members on Italy, the Philippine Islands, and other countries. A talk was given by Mr. Cox on the relation of United States and Canada concerning fishing grounds and who should possess them. This meeting was a joint meeting of the Biology Club and History Club. Mr. Cox took the diplomatic side of the question, while Mr. Landes took the biological side. For future meetings professors from the University and various other- suitable speakers from the outside are to be secured. From the early successful accomplishments of the club a bright future can be safely pre- dicted. PAGE 65 Why There’s News in the “News” CREDIT GOES TO MR. FULTON Success Is Due to Hard Work of Journalism Instructor Mr. H. Reed Fulton, head of the English department at Roosevelt High School, is the one person to whom congratulations should go for the success the “Roosevelt News” has attained this year. Through his hard work, the journalism classes were able to put out a paper four days after the classes had come together. Mr. Fulton stayed up nearly all night before the first “News” came out, striving to put out the paper on time. FIRST IN HUMOR ' Roosevelt News cap- tured another first prize when the pink Times bur- lesque issue was awarded first place in the nation- wide contest for humor pages. In awarding the prize, the Central Interscholas- tic Press Association Bul- letin said: “In this con- test the page of the Roosevelt News stood out in prominence because of ihe originality and bright- ness of the material. The art work was well done, the humor cleverly car- ried out, and the head- lines well balanced.” v____________________________y BUSINESS STAFF WELL HANDLED Mr. Thompson Aids “News” Staff in Work on School Paper The Roosevelt News” has been handled by a very effi- cient business staff. Last semester the News was handled by Donald Mar- quis, business manager: Jean Mackintosh, advertising man- ager ; Alice Reid, circulation manager; Ruth Duquet, audi- tor : and Evelyn Sandholtz, chief clerk. The advertising solicitors were Annabell Hall, Fred Gleason. Francis Guest, Ken- dall Shinn, and Frank Mc- Gary. First semester’s business staff was as follows: Ernest Lunbeck, business manager: Warren Wolfe, auditor; Signe Nyquist, chief clerk : Virginia Jackson, treasurer; Elmer Carlson, advertising; Merlyn Bullis, assistant: Donald Mar- quis, circulation.

SCHOOL PAPER WINS CONTEST Awarded First Place in Schools of Under 1500 Winning first place in the national contest conducted by the Central Interscholastic Press Association for schools of under 1500, the Roosevelt News achieved a position of great prominence. As this was the first year the “News” had been issued, it was a record to boast of. Practical journalists weigh- ed the merits of the respect- ive contestants, and decided in favor of the local paper.

PAGE 70 P A G 3 Debate Coaches TOOMEY COX CURTIS PETERSON DEBATE COACHES SUCCESS in debate, as in other activities, must be credited to a great extent to the coach who handles the team. Especially is this true when the coach is developing new material, as in the city debates. Queen Anne and Ballard have contributed to their own defeat by sup- plying Roosevelt with such able coaches as Mr. Toomey, Mr. Cox, Mr. Peter- son and Mr. Curtis. Mr. Toomey coached the affirmative state team through the season and acted as head coach for all debates held at Roosevelt this year. He hails from Queen Anne, where he has turned out several championship teams in the last few years. Mr. Cox, the coach of the negative state team, came from Ballard where he has coached state teams. Another former Queen Anne teacher and debate coach, Mr. Peterson, worked with the affirmative team in the first city series and with the neg- ative team the second semester. After coaching the first semester negative team, Mr. Curtis became ill and Mr. Toomey coached the affirmative team for the second semester. Mr. Curtis taught at Ballard before coming to Roosevelt. Prospects for the coming year, judging by the number of experienced debaters returning, are not so bright as they might be. Of the ten letter- men who represented Roosevelt this year, only three will return next Sep- tember. In spite of this shortage of experienced orators, the coaches are confident that the school will respond with a will and produce other winning teams to uphold the honor of Roosevelt. PAGE 72 City Debaters CLARK WING ELISE WOLZ BERNADINE GIDDENS DENNIS DEAN CITY DEBATE DEBATES in the city series resulted in an even break for Roosevelt teams, with two victories and two defeats. West Seattle won the city championship. Arguing the question of the Ship Subsidy, the first semester teams lost on both sides of the question in two closely contested debates. The affirmative team, composed of Clark Wins and Bernadine Giddens, put up a fine argument against Franklin but lost by a 3 to 0 decision. Elise Wolz and Dennis Dean met the Queen Anne affirmative team in an interesting contest, but lost the decision of the judges, 2 to 1. The second semester brought better luck for the defenders of the Gold and Green on the debating platform. Both teams won their debates handily, by a 2 to 1 decision in each case. The question was, “Resolved: That Seattle should adopt the city manager form of government.” Dennis Dean and Donald Nylen debated at home, meeting a team repre- senting Ballard. The outcome of the debate was never in doubt, due to the knowledge of the question and the skill in handling their arguments which the Roosevelt team displayed. William Larkin and Wesley Randall avenged the defeat of the pre- vious semester by out-debating the Queen Anne affirmative team. The ar- guments were well presented on both sides and the decision was reached only after the last rebuttal speech had failed to clear up the negative’s con- tention. PAGE 73 State Debaters WILLIAM LARKIN WESLEY RANDALL CHARLES STROTHER DONALD NYLEN JAMES BECK FLOYD WHITMORE STATE DEBATE OOSEVELT’S first champions! That is the distinction won by the members of Roosevelt’s first state debate teams. After the closest competition of recent years, the Teddy orators emerged from the verbal melee with the Puget Sound cham- pionship safely salted away. Four victories and no defeats is the record they have set up for future teams to uphold. The coaches, Mr. Toomey and Mr. Cox, were extremely fortunate in hav- ing two teams of experienced debaters with which to work. Floyd Whit- more, Charles Strother, James Beck, Donald Nylen, William Larkin and Wesley Randall are the members of the championship squad. The first four debated in the city series, while Larkin and Randall were members of Lin- coln’s championship state team last year. “Resolved: That the Federal Employment Service should be extended and coordinated with state and local public labor exchanges,” was the question successfully debated on both sides. Bothell was the first opponent on the schedule, but, fortunately for the out-of-town debaters, they forfeited, giving Roosevelt a 2 to 0 decision. Bremerton furnished the first real opposition of the year. The teams were well matched but Whitmore, Strother and Larkin succeeded in wresting a 2 to 1 decision from the visitors. The negative team, featuring Nylen, Beck and Randall, showed their class at Ballard where they captured another 2 to 1 decision. The final and deciding contest was against Tolt in the home auditor- ium. Whitmore, Larkin and Randall proved too great an undertaking for the invaders and the local orators won a unanimous decision. PAGE 74 7 5 PAGE Orchestra ORCHESTRA THE Roosevelt Orchestra, numbering some sixty players, assembled in room 301 at the first of the year in preparation for a strenuous sea- son. The instrumentation was unusual indeed for the first year, such exceptional instruments as the oboe, basoon, viola and ’cello being included. The only instruments used in an ordinary symphony orchestra that were not present were the English horn and tympani. Tympani, or kettle drums, as they are sometimes called, are quite needed in a large orchestra and may be secured for our orchestra in the future. After several weeks of intensive training, the orchestra gave their first assembly. Mrs. Worth, the soloist, accompanied by John Hopper of the Cor- nish school, rendered several highly appreciated selections. The climax of the first semester was reached the night of the concert. Sharing the program with the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs, the orchestra played such numbers as “Hungarian Lustspiel”, by Keler-Bela, Nicode’s “Suite from the South,” “Jolly Fellows’ Waltz,” and “01’ South.” Albany Ritchie, accompanied by Frederick Ferreinger, was soloist. His tech- nique and interpretation showed the marvelous possibilities of the violin as a solo instrument. Although handicapped by the loss of the tuba and contra-bass players, the orchestra was featured in another assembly toward the middle of the second semester. At this appearance “William Tell Overture” was the piece de re- sistance. Mrs. Worth sang two songs, “Life” and “Waltz Song”, followed by instrumental numbers by Miss Canfield and John Hopper. Miss Canfield played “Serenade” and “Taran- telle” bv Popper and Mr. Hopper played Schu- bert’s “Marche Militaire.” The popularity of the orchestra is shown by the fact that no special program was com- plete without it. It has had an important part in characterizing Roosevelt as a musical school. PAGE 76 Boys’ Glee Club BOYS’ GLEE CLUB “ have always favored the teaching of music, both vocal and instru- mental, in our schools, and I shall ever feel that these studies should have an important and essential place in the educational curriculum of our insti- tutions of learning from the lowest to the highest.”—President Harding. Thus we see the first reason for the existence of the Glee Club. It is perhaps the most enjoyable method of establishing a love for pood music. But also there enters a practical element, the grouping together of a number of individuals. We believe that nowhere will you find a group of boys bet- ter satisfied, better respecting each other’s interests, and more thoroughly united by a common intei-est than in a Boys’ Glee Club. They are the founders of the Roosevelt Glee Club, and have accomplished that at which following Glee Clubs may look with pride. They have given a concert unequalled by any High School Glee Club. They have successfully produced an opera ranking among the best of comic operas. But greatest of all has been the benefit to the individuals themselves, for they have re- ceived all that they put into this work, and infinitely more. Many of those of the 1923 Glee Club will remain as the backbone of next year’s club, but there are also some who have seen their last work with a Roosevelt Glee Club. And in passing on, they take with them far more than is gained in a regular high school course: the joy of working with such a group; and, in Mr. Worth, the power to love and respect a leader; but, most of all, the ability to love good music. PAGE 77 Girls’ Glee Club GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THE Roosevelt Girls’ Glee Club of 1923, composed of sixty-six Junior and Senior girls selected by Mr. Worth, has achieved a greatness not to be overlooked by their successors. To sing melodiously and in har- mony with a large group—this the Glee Club endeavored with notable suc- cess to accomplish. The concert held January 19, is a milestone by which to mark the pro- gress of the ensemble. This was their first public appearance, and hence remains in the memories of the girls as a most delightful, though somewhat strenuous, nervous evening. The four following selections were rendered, public opinion being divided as to the favorite: “Annie Laurie,” a difficult ar- rangement in four parts; “Esmeralda,” reminiscent of Carmen and dashed with the click of castanets; “Ashes of Roses” and “If My Songs Had Airy Pinions.” At the beginning of the year Mr. Worth cherished high aims and am- bitions. To develop and improve excellent voices and discover the brilliant ones, was the star at which he vigorously waved a baton. The pleasure of agreeable associations was likewise an important element, for Mr. Worth desired above all to create a spirit of good fellowship and cooperation among the girls. Although singing in the Glee Club is a pleasure it also involves some concentration and not a little old-fashioned, unadulterated hard work. Long rehearsals for the Opera sometimes upset prearranged canoeing plans, and aching feet were the rewards of an honest endeavor to dance with sylphlike grace. These small items, however, fade into insignificance beside the glory of those two nights behind the footlights. And the pleasure of the audience was as nothing compared to the indescribable thrill of casting aside the pro- saic apparel of everyday existence and living for so brief a time, the gay and frivolous life of a Parisian shop-girl. PAGE 78 Roosevelt Opera MADEMOISELLE MODISTE PAGE 79 MADEMOISELLE MODISTE MADEMOISELLE Modiste, Roosevelt’s first combined musical and dra- matic production, has come and gone. Each long hour of mo- notonous rehearsals, every frightened heart beat, has died away in the echo of the applause it created. Yes, Mademoiselle Modiste has entered our lives and gone again, but it has left with us “la petite Fifi,’’ much more willowy and sylphlike than before, many strains of entrancing music—the lasting kind, happy memories of rippy little dance steps, and the heart satisfaction of knowing that Roosevelt is the kind of school that can do things. Madame Cecile has cast aside the staid coiffure and become her usual Dutch-bobbed self; Gaston has laid aside his palette that his two hands might man a lawnmower. Bebe and Mimi have danced their way into the hearts of all Roosevelt, only to trip lightly out again. Only a few phases of the giant production still remain. Has Hiram Bent overcome that unfortunate (or fortunate, as the case may be) habit of pursuing strange beauties? Has Francois conquered his passion for the Moulin Rouge ? Does Rene still chant of the dear little girl who is good? Has the General ceased to admire pretty girls? Is the market boy no more an imbecile ? These are the things which last. Coupled with the happy memories of this production, they will forever rest in the hearts and minds of those who took part in making it successful. Other memories, which the onlookers know nothing of, are present with the cast. Could anyone but the love-sick Etienne have interpreted the lines, “I will live like a lover,” into the prosaic, “I will lie like a lover” ? Who but the erratic little Count could have shrieked hotly, “What, ten sows for that?” Who but our diplomatic Hiram Bent could have placidly remarked, “Shu-ur,” at a critical moment when his lines were forgotten? Ah! ’Tis such presence of mind, such initiative in a crisis that makes men of our boys. It is true that the success of Mademoiselle Modiste was dependent on the ability of its up-to-the-minute cast, but we must not forget that group, “all unhonored and unsung,” which toiled hour after hour and night after night, to pi-esent to Roosevelt High School a more finished product. Credit is due to the costumers, to the stage force, to the orchestra, to the make-up committee, and to the advertisers. The whole undertaking would have been impossible but for the willing cooperation of the faculty members who supervised the different phases of the work. Indeed, had it not been for these silent partners, our opera could not have been the success it undoubtedly was. And the specialty chorus! Seriously, now, it wasn’t half bad, was it? What with Mrs. Bent and the specialty, it is firmly believed that future glee clubs will have to dig mightily in order to equal our Mademoiselle Modiste. page 8g TMTmT mM J'J v I AIuVJk gflSaKoSg T • T. • T t •XYCe TftYCOwA PAGE 81 Dramatic Club Officers Virginia Herbsman Kyle Taylor President Vice President Miss Whitmire Adviser Laura Lasley Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Deits Adviser THE DRAMATIC CLUB THE Dramatic Club was one of the many organizations founded at Roosevelt High School in 1923. The membership of this association is open to any student of good standing. It is the aim of this club to encourage the presentation of the drama and musical plays in all their various forms from the standpoint of artistic stage craft as well as correct dramatic interpretation. The democratic nature of this organization is indicated by the formation of the Executive Board, which is comprised of: an elected representative from each class; Mr. Deits, the adviser; Miss Whitmire, the coach; and the following officers: president, Virginia Herbsman; vice president, Kyle Taylor; secretary-treasurer, Laura Lasley; the business manager; and stage man- ager. To have a successful dramatic production the organization must be well balanced from the first paragraph of advertising, through the perform- ance, until the final curtain is drawn on the last night. The Dramatic Club has endeavored to do this by uniting various branches that are involved in putting on a production of the highest quality. The business manager with the aid of his committee starts by various forms of advertising to make known the coming production. Mr. Leaf with his able crew of ticket sellers puts the tickets at the disposal of the student body and the community. PAGE 82 Mr. Landes and his choice group of ushers act in the capacity of the cordial reception committee of the school. The orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Worth, never dis- appoints the high expectations of the audience in the rendering of overtures and preludes until the raising of the curtain. The artistic settings are due to the untiring efforts of the stage force under the guidance of Mr. Deits. They strive to make each part of the scenery a piece of art to beautify and set off the production. The stage force, although it has a separate organization, works as one with the Dramatic Club, and their executive, the stage manager, Robert Burrows, is the official stage manager of the 1923 Dramatic Club and a member of the executive board. The shop boys and Mr. Burr have helped the Stage Force in the construction of the framework for the scenery. The costumes are designed and decorated by Miss Nordell and her art students, who by the strokes of their brushes give the finishing touches. The costumes are cut and made by Miss Mathews, Mrs. Moody, and their pupils in sewing and millinery classes. Many tiring hours of tedious work are put in after school by the art and sewing classes and their teachers. Mr. Riggs with a trained force does the make-up work. So, in a single performance, some hundreds of workers are involved behind the scenes. The Power's Moving Picture Machine is being run under the auspices of the Dramatic Club. The purchasing of the machine would have been impossible had it not been due to the courtesies extended the school by the Theatrical Equipment Company, to the cooperation of the Senior Class and Dramatic Club, and to the support of the entire student body. The cleanest, most wholesome, and best in quality is always sought for in selecting the pictures to be shown. Among the pictures shown were: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, If I Were King, The Three Musketeers, Prisoner of Zenda, Count of Monte Cristo, Smilin’ Through, Little Minister, Bachelor Daddy, Silent Call. Stage properties in the form of settings, scenery, and costumes have been bought with part of the proceeds, thus making possible the Senior Play—“Sherwood” by Alfred Noyes, the Roosevelt Revue by the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, the Junior Red Cross Drive, and the Torch Society Banquet. The Dramatic Club was not fully organized before the last two months of school. Meetings were held every two weeks, which were made most entertaining by the presentation of one or two plays by the members of the organization. A few plays were also offered by the club with the moving picture matinees. Among the plays offered were: Two Crooks and a Lady, The Dyspeptic Ogre, The Maker of Dreams, and Mechanical Jane. Through the courtesy of the Armad Society was presented a Pierrot fantasy play, “Lima Beans,” at the first meeting of the Dramatic Club. Thus the Dramatic Club has tried earnestly to raise the standards and develop a higher appreciation of dramatic art. PAGE 83 Stage Force ROOSEVELT STAGE FORCE ONE of the biggest factors in our school and one which deserves a great deal more credit than is generally accorded it, is the Roosevelt Stage Force. It is composed of the most willing workers in school, those who are willing to work long and hard, sacrifice many pleasures, remain in the background, and receive but a small amount of the credit due them. The Force this year consisted of: Robert Burrows, stage manager; Stanley Olson, stage manager; Preston Randolph, electrician; Roy Crosby, electrician; Eugene Hirtle, electrician; Ralph Davis, electrician; Fenton Drake, fly man; Harry Hedlund, floor man; Oscar Kleinlein, stage carpenter; Mable Edwards, secretary and prop- erty room mistress; Ruth Anderson, property room mistress; Ruth Barley, costume mistress; Lena Littlefield, scenic artist; Erma Harris, scenic artist; Margaret Doty, scenic artist; Mar- jorie Knouse, scenic artist; Louise Cannon, seamstress. Many thanks are due to Harold Hauff, Lawrence Karrer, Vivian Wiley, and John Porter, graduate members, who rendered valuable ser- vice in the staging of the senior play and opera. But most of all, the heai'tiest and sincerest thanks are due to Mr. Deits, adviser of the Force. He has worked long, earnestly, and un- selfishly to make our Roosevelt stage and our Roosevelt productions such that we shall be justly proud of them, and he has succeeded. So to Mr. Deits and his stage force we extend whole- hearted and sincere thanks with the best of wishes for their continued success.

Aristelle MacDonald A Novice Elsie Erickson On December fifteenth and sixteenth of last year, 1922, under the directorship of Miss Whitmire, whose picture appears below, the Senior class presented “Sherwood” by Arthur Noyes. “Sherwood” was the first huge school project. It is estimated that over two hundred students and ten faculty members were engaged in making it such a success. In all, sixty-eight students were numbered among the players, and each student had completely mastered his part. This was mainly due to Miss Whitmire, who directed the play. She deserves a world of credit for her fine work in making the project so completely successful. The whole thing would have been impossible without her willing supervision. Also deserving of praise for helping along the dramatic abilities of the cast was Miss Miller. Miss Adams and the fairy dancers contributed much to the play’s beauty. Mr. Worth and the orchestra gave an appropriate music score. “Sherwood” was a costume play, and four members of the faculty, with the help of willing students, designed and made the costumes worn by the participants in the various acts. Miss Nordell of the art department was in the main responsible for the success of this phase of the work. Mr. Riggs dyed all the cloth, which, with the great number of costumes, was quite an undertaking. Miss Mathews and her clothing classes made all except the most elaborate of the costumes. Mrs. Moody also assisted in this respect. The Stage Force, under Mr. Deits, helped wonderfully in giving the spectacle its beauti- ful background. Starting with nothing, it was necessary for them to build up all the stage equipment. This they successfully did, producing almost professional results. When the curtain fell on the last scene, Sherwood was pronounced one of the finest attempts ever made in high school dramatics.

The program consisted of: A selection from the orchestra, which was much appreciated. A thrilling tumbling act, under the supervision of Mr. Burr. “The Ghost’s Banquet,” a weird concoction of thrills and suspense. Three Old-Fashioned Girls in song. A one act playlet. Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean in a few delightful minutes of enter- tainment. Mme. Zintheo and her fashion show. Chocolate Drop and Dill Pickle in an exhibition of fact and foolishness. “The Dance of the Wood Nymphs.” A riotous parody on “Romeo and Juliet.” Bogert and Revelle “In Vaudeville.” Irish and Scotch songs. An original skit, “The Cat’n Fiddle.” PAGE 90 PAGE 9 1 A thletic Coaches DVORAK SMITH LEAF SCHEER COACHES ROOSEVELT was lucky in securing the services of a man like Mr. Dvorak. He thoroughly understands boys and shares in their victories and defeats. It is for these reasons that he is loved by all his boys. Coach Dvorak took charge of three activities: football, basketball, and track. His football team won two games, tied one, and lost three. His basketball team finished second, and from all indications his track team is going to have a very successful year. This is Mr. Smith’s first year in Seattle prep circles. He has taken over baseball and has one of the strongest teams in the city. He is very popular with the fellows turning out and it is hoped that he will become a permanent fixture at Roosevelt. The school owes Mr. Smith a debt of grat- itude for his untiring efforts to turn out a winning baseball team. Mr. Leaf showed his Roosevelt Spirit when he took over the job of coaching the tennis team. From all indications his squad this year will be one of the best in the city. Mr. Leaf is a hard and willing worker and is always willing to help where help is needed. For his work he deserves the appreciation of the entire school. Mr. Scheer coached Frosh football and Frosh and Sophomore basketball. His football team completely outclassed all of their opponents while his Soph- omore basketers copped the championship and his Frosh quintet finished sec- ond in their division. Mr. Scheer will long be remembered for his work at Roosevelt. PAGE 92 Student Managers ANDERSON ' ASTRUP DOUGLAS WINSTON MANAGERS THERE is perhaps, no one who does as great a service and receives as little reward as a manager. He is the first in the locker room and the last to leave. Without managers athletic teams would be an im- possibility. Teams have gone on the field without captains and have won. Teams have been organized without coaches and have been successful. But never in the history of sports has a team existed without the services of a manager. The manager renders a great service to his school without com- pensation of any kind. In fact many students are not even aware of his existence. But to evex-y man turning out the manager is a friend in need. Lockers must be opened, towels given out, uniforms distributed, contracts looked after, dismissals secured, automobiles hunted up, and countless other tasks upon which the success of a team depends wait upon his alertness, attentiveness, and qualities of dispatch. Roosevelt teams were fortunate in having managers whose sole thought was to serve the men turning out. Theirs was the true Roosevelt Spirit. Student managers: Pat Winston (football), Neil Anderson (basket- ball), Bert Astrup (baseball), Bob Douglas (track), and Howard Langlie (tennis), desei-ve much ci-edit for the service they rendered their respective teams. It is only the men who have turned out that can fully appreciate the valuable work performed by these boys. PAGE 93 mam FOOTBALL Leslie Alyea, Captain—Center Les” fought from whistle to whistle, and his hard consistent playing was an inspiration to his team mates. An ideal leader, a clean player, and an all-round good fellow, Les was admired by all his team. He kept up the spirit of the gang” when the going was rough, with his deeds as well as his words. Les will not be here when the suits are given out next fall. Gordon Bruce, Captaiyi-elect—Fullback An injured knee couldn't keep Gordy” out of the game. Before the season was over his weight and fight had won him a posi- tion on the All-City squad. Gordon was the class of the fullbacks this year, hitting the line like a thunderbolt. He is a hard, conscientious worker and is the logical man to lead next year’s fighting Rough Riders. Harold Shidler, Left Halfback Shy” gave the team everything he had all the time. He was the bright light in the Teddy offense, his brilliant playing gaining the required distance time and again. Be- cause of his modesty and willingness to do his part, Harold was held in high esteem by his team mates. His graduation leaves a big gap to be filled next fall. Harry Hinkle, Right Halfback Harry, besides doing the punting and some of the passing, carried the ball in fine shape. His passing put the team out of danger many times, vhile his ferocious line plunging and strong defense work were a great help to the Teddy clan. Hink” will be back next year, a bigger star than ever. Stanley Hedwall, Quarterback “Stan” handled the ball well and ran the squad smoothly and wisely. His consistent returning of punts and ground gaining end runs were a thorn in the side of the enemy. While calling signals, Stan instilled much pep and fight into the team. He was a scrappy little fellow who always worked hard. He will not call for his suit next year. Franklin Wilde, Left End Hank” put up a great fight at the end. He was always on his toes ready to drop the opposing backs for a loss. Hank always played a good, clean game. His ability to get down under punts made him an im- portant cog in the Teddy machine. He will be back chasing the pigskin next year. Wade McCullough, Left Tackle “String” was a hard worker all the time and could always be depended upon to make a hole. A steady, consistent player, a strong defense man, and a hard fighter. String was a tower of strength on the line. He played every game, and gave them all he had every minute. He will be marked absent when the roll is called next fall. PAGE 94 Carl Martin, Left Guard Tearing holes in the opposing line was Carl’s long suit. He could always be depended upon to open the way for the man with the ball. This was “BulFs” first year in prep football, but his weight and fight made him a dangerous man at all timet. He will be back opening holes next year. James March, Right Guard Jimmie was in evidence in every tussle, his steady playing making him a man to be depended upon. Jimmie always went into the game for all he was worth, and oppos- ing linemen found it a difficult task to push him out of the way. Jimmie will don a suit again next year and much can be expected of the big guard. Malcolm Wilmot, Right Tackle One of the most modest, unassuming boys on the squad was “Mac, but he was one of the hardest hitting linemen in the city. Mac believes that actions speak louder than words, so he said but little and made up for it by steady, consistent football and hard fight. Next year he will be one of the best tackles in the league. Everett Nowell, Right End “Ev was on his toes all the time, his work at end being a great help to the team. Ev played a bang-up game on the defense, and he was also good at snagging passes. He was a consistent player and a fighter. Ev could be depended upon to give his best all the time. He will be one of the gang next year. Otto Yamaoka, Fullback Although small in stature. Otto was one of the cleverest broken field runners in the city. A good heady player, shifty on his feet, and fast, he was one of the gamest little fighters in the league. Otto has bid adieu to prep athletics. Dave Froula, Guard, Center Dave was general utility man; he played guard and center at various times. He could be put in any game, any time, and give a good account of himself. His weight, strength, and fight made him a good man to open holes in the line. He will not be a Rough Rider next year. Edgar Hagist, Custodian Because he was out with the boys every night, opening lockers, distributing towels, and doing a hundred and one things, Ed” deserves a lot of credit. We, therefore, wish to extend to him the hearty appre- ciation of the fellows turning out. PAGE 95 First Team Football THE SEASON WITH the opening of school in the fall, Coach Dvorak sent out his call for football men. A goodly number of athletes responded, but the shortage of suits made it impossible for all to turn out. Work- ing against discouraging circumstances, the Teddy mentor finally built up a hard-fighting eleven. The first game was with West Seattle. Roosevelt took the field, picked the lose, but sweeping the heavy Indians off their feet, the boys romped home with a 19 to 0 victory. Broadway was next. Although the Green and Gold outplayed the heavier Tigers, a dropkick from a difficult angle won the game for Broadway, 3 to 0. Franklin, champs for the second time, played true to form against the Cowen Park men. Brice Taylor, Green and Black ace, was star of the day, the final count being 17 to 0 in favor of the Quakers. Fur flew at the Lincoln-Roosevelt mix. The count at the first half was 7 to 6 in favor of the Teddies. Despite the game fight put up by the Rough Riders, the Red and Black continued to score. At the closing whistle Roosevelt claimed 7 points while Lincoln had garnered 18. Determined to win, the Teddies next met the powerful Quay eleven. Fight- ing every minute, the gang captured the encounter 7 to 0. The last game, with Garfield, was a nip and tuck battle all the way, neither team scoring. PAGE 96 Scrub Football Squad SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL FIGHTING in the true Roosevelt style, {riving all they had all the time, the Rough Rider Second Team went through a strenuous season with- out knowing defeat. Six games played and won, the Scrubs proved themselves to be superior to any aggregation in their division. Meeting the West Seattle Chinooks at home, the Rough Riders enter- tained them with a score of 13 to 0. Next the Scrubs visited Broadway and came home with the pleasant end of a 20 to 0 score. They then received Franklin’s Quaker Seconds in our own back yard. When the smoke cleared away the local outfit had captured the doughnut, while the guests took the hole, 19 to 0. Journeying to Lincoln in the mud, the boys swam to a 6 to 0 victory. Queen Anne next paid them a call, but went home chagrined by a 13 to 7 defeat. Winding up the season with a bang, the team spanked the Garfield Babes to the tune of 7 to 0. One factor in the team’s success was the pluck of the fighters who com- posed the lineup. These men, a bit too inexperienced for first team duty, received a great deal of valuable seasoning in their struggles with other scrub elevens. These making letters are: Ray Stroble, right end; Loren Gray, right tackle; Edward Peterson, right guard; Neil Anderson, center; Bob Douglas, left guard; Elgin Gardner, left tackle; Orville Borgersen, left end; Bob Garland, quarterback; Tom Hyllengren, right half; Henry Yamao- ka, left half; Bert Astrup, fullback; Edward Aamodt, guard; Bill William- son, tackle; Don Day, end; and Jerrold Ballaine, guard. PAGE 97 Frosh Football Team FROSH FOOTBALL COMPLETELY outclassing their most formidable opponents, the Roose- velt Frosh walked off with the championship without even getting a stiff argument. Big, lopsided scores featured all their encounters. Many of the boys give promise of being stars in the “big team” in a year or so. Much credit is due Mr. Scheer and Lloyd Eckmann, who tutored the yearlings. Stiff practice and vigorous training kept the team in the pink of condition. Roosevelt and Broadway started the season at Broadway. The team had just got nicely started when the whistle blew ending the game. The score stood 42 for the Teddies to 0 for the Tigers. Franklin came to Roosevelt and was sent home with the short end of a 33 to 0 tally. Our big rival, Lin- coln, was hit the worst, the Green and Gold warriors trouncing the Rail- splitters 47 to 0. Queen Anne, considered about the best in the Frosh league, held the local boys to a 31 to 0 score in the final mix. Scoring 153 points to their opponents’ 0 in four games, the Babes set a record that will no doubt stand for many moons. The men lined up as follows: Victor Lyons, right end; Victor Strena, right tackle; Kermit Rodgers, right guard; Edwin O’Connell, center; Henry Jamieson, left guard; Leon Campbell, left tackle; Wilson Gaw, left end; “Ike” Yamaoka, fullback; James Mills, left half; Carl Linstead, right half; Allen Alexander, quarterback; Dick Jackson, halfback; and Lewis Linstead, halfback. PAGE 98 BASKETBALL Everett Nowell, Captain Skipper “Ev” not only led his team well, but also played a steady, consistent prame at guard. “Ev” is a prood passer, a prood checker, and a demon on long shots. Much can be expected of the husky guard next year, as he is a Junior and will be back with the Green and Gold hoopsters. Earl Snider, Captain-Elect One of the cleverest forwards in the prep circuit was ‘“Monty” Snider. His uncanny ability to loop them from all anprles and from any position made him one of the luminaries in the league. “Monty” was in- eligible for first quarter, but his brilliant playing placed him on the All-City Team. He will be back as pilot for next year’s squad. James Hyllengren Jimmie always played a fast game at guard. His terrific checking, coupled with his abil- ity to shoot from anywhere on the floor made him a dangerous man to his oppo- nents. Jimmie shot the fouls for the Rough Riders and after leading: the individual scor- ers for most of the season, he was chosen as All-City guard. He will be back next year. Don Day Although not as tall as any of the centers he opposed, Don always prave them a run for their money. What he lacked in height was made up for in fiprht. “The Sheik”, as he was affectionately called by many of his lady friends, was always in the thickest of the fray. Don will be an important cop: in next year’s machine. Edgar Hagist A prood team man, a scrappy player, and a prood shot— Eddie could always be depended upon. Fighting from start to finish he was a never-ceasinpr worry to the opposinpr pruard. Ed played a prood floor prame, be- sides beinpr able to sink them throuprh the twine. He is a Junior and will be back with next year’s fighting quintet. Anton Gritsch Before “Monty” Snider was eliprible his shoes were filled by “Tony” Gritsch. Althouprh this was a heavy assiprnment. Tony did it creditably. He is a sure shot and a prood man on the floor. “Tony” is a Senior and will not be back next year. Stanley Mullane A little Irishman with lots of fiprht and a good eye. “Shrimp” could always be found where the fiprht was the hottest. “Shrimp” modestly walked off with the scorinpr honors in one prame. He will not be back when the roll is called next year, as he prradu- ates with “Tony”. Second Team Basketball BASKETBALL SEASON ACCORDING to the pre-season dope Roosevelt wasn’t considered a dangerous contender for prep hoop honors. The dopesters, it seems, had overlooked the Teddy five and they were not considered a dan- gerous team. Coach Dvorak, however, had a different view of the matter. He had a likely looking bunch of men out and with a few weeks training they were ready for the opening game. When the first whistle blew the Rough Riders were found tangling with the Quakers at Franklin. The Teddies annexed this mix 17 to 15. The West Seattle Chinooks next fell prey to the green-jerseyed clan to the tune of 35 to 14. Ballard sprung a surprise in their own gym when they nosed out the Roosevelt lads 27 to 26. Determined to win, the Rough Riders took the Broadway Tiger’s pelt 24 to 19. Queen Anne paid us a visit and after a thrilling battle went home on the short end of a 30 to 20 count. Thus the half-way mark was reached. Starting on the home-stretch, the local boys downed Franklin again 35 to 17. They then beat West Seattle 19 to 16 on their home floor. Ballard then came back to win from the Teddies again, but the boys had their number and they were left out in the cold 24 to 20. Broadway made a vain attempt to avenge their first defeat and lest 27 to 19. In the final game for the city championship, Roosevelt met Queen Anne in the Kuays’ gym. The undersized, low ceilinged room proved their Water- loo, Queen Anne grabbing the contest 26 to 19. This dropped Roosevelt into second place. The fighting Rough Riders will, however, always remember their first year in hoop circles as one of surprising success. PAGE 100 Soph Basketball Team SOPH BASKETBALL THE Soph five smashed Roosevelt records and, guided by Lloyd Selig, landed on the top of the hoop heap with five victories and a lone reverse to their credit. Coach Scheer, handling his first Roosevelt team, made a great showing in the basketball field. Gathering a bunch of raw material, he assembled a quintet of second-year men unequaled by any other five in the city. Opening the season at Lincoln, the boys annexed a closely fought battle by the score of 19 to 17. Leading 15 to 10 at the half, the boys fell back on the defensive and landed on top when the final whistle blew. Returning home for the second game, the Sophs cleaned up the West Seattle second-year men 22 to 14. Smashing into the Tigers on their own floor, the Rough Riders received their only set-back of the schedule when the Tigers succeeded in overcoming their lead and nosed them out by a count of 15 to 13. Ballard fell next before the Teddies’ onslaught, going down before the count of 22 to 9 on the Green and Gold floor. The Queen Anne five threw a scare into the Green and Gold camp when the game went into overtime with the count 15 all. Selig captured the tussle for his team mates when he sewed the game away with a free throw just after the start of the overtime period. The Sophomores closed the pennant chase by a 20 to 11 victory over the Franklin tossers on their home floor. Selig, Bullock, Gardner, Wells, Hartnet, Benton and Berlin were the seven boys awarded letters by Coach Scheer. PAGE 101 Frosh Basketball Team FROSH BASKETBALL LEFTY Carton and his prancing Frosh basketeers drew up in the second berth when the youths ran through the season after suffering only one reverse, in the Tiger’s lair. Jumping the gun on the Lincoln Freshmen, the Green and Gold athletes piled up a four-point lead in the first half, which they never relinquished. The final count registered the Roosevelt boys a 17 to 11 victory. Running true to form, the Frosh opened the season at home with an overwhelming victory over the West Seattle babes by the margin of 24 to 9. Playing on a foreign floor, the yearlings experienced trouble in opening up against the Broadway five. The half found both teams struggling for supremacy with the score 9 up. In the final period the Tigers succeeded in ringing up 5 counters to the Teddies’ 4 and won by a point margin. The winning point was registered on a free throw in the last moment of play. Ballard offered little opposition and the Babes experienced little trouble in running up a 19 to 0 count. The first half was a literal slaugh- ter, the Teddies ringing up 16 points. Roosevelt ran through the remaining schedule without difficulty, roping in the Kuays 14 to 7 and capping off the season by defeating the Franklin basket tossers by the remarkable score of 30 to 6. Letters were awarded to Carton, Gaw, Thelberg, Alexander, Linstead, White, and Rogers by Coach Scheer, to whom much credit is due for the splendid showing of the Babes. PAGE 102 Track Team TRACK WITH the coming of spring, Coach Dvorak issued his first call for cinder men. The response was anything but encouraging. There seemed to be a shortage of track artists around the institution. A second and third call were sent out and a few more candidates showed up. Then the coach started to build a team. By dint of hard work and excellent coaching a squad was assembled that represented the school in true Rough Rider fashion. In the dashes, Tom Hyllengren, Elgin Gardner, and James Mills were the best bets. Oscar Mills, Ronald Phillips, Frank James, and Merritt Day were the best 440 men. “Hank” Wilde, Edwards, Peterson, Larkin, and Gaw comprised the 880 men. Maximo Quitiquit, Pat Winston, and Dick Jackson were Dvorak’s best hurdlers. Borgersen was the best of the pole vaulters. In the weights Carl Martin and Dave Froula were the best point- getters. From all indications the Green and Gold will have some powerful track squads in the future. The Freshmen and Sophomores this year are proving themselves to be real artists. This speaks well for the future, for with experience the boys will develop into real stars. Although no startling percentages were set up, the track season this year was a very successful one for Roosevelt. PAGE 103 ALEXANDER J. HYLLENGREN HAGIST T. HYLLENGREN YAMAOKA OSTERHOUT McCULLOUGH MULLANE SNIDER SELIG GARTON MILES DAY GARDNER PAGE 104 v BASEBALL Lloyd Selig, Pitcher Lloyd was a hard, conscientious worker who always «ave all he had. His slants were hard to hit, and he never put the ball where the batter liked it. His hitting helped out many times, as he always put the ball where it was hard to field. Lloyd is a Sophomore, and in the next two years much is ex- pected of him. Wilson Gaw, Utility Wilson played the outfield in fine style whenever he was called upon. He could always be depended upon to take any out-garden berth and turn in a good game of ball. Besides being a good fly chaser he was also a heavy hitter. Wil- son is only a Sophomore and much is expected of him in the next two years. Allen Alexander, Catcher “Al” played the backstop position in fine style. Although not a terrific hitter, he hit when it was absolutely necessary. Al was a good base runner, and a good heady player. He was an especial- ly accurate thrower, sending the ball down to second base like a bullet. He will be back next year catching the hot ones. James Hyllengren, Pitcher Jimmie played sterling ball all year. He was the best pitcher on the squad, and when not pitching he patrolled the out- field. Jim had a fine fast ball and a lot of hooks and curves. He is a natural ball player and his experience and heavy hitting helped the team a great deal. He will be in suit again next year. Elgin Gardner, Pitcher Elgin was a good, steady beaver who pitched good ball all the time.. He was not a spectacular player, but he had a good fast ball and a nice change of pace, and his slants were very deceiving. � He was not a consistent hitter, but when he did clout the ball it usually traveled. He will be twisting them again next year. Al Osterhout, First Base “Al” played in hard luck from the first of the season. After the opening game he was hit in practice by a wild ball, which smashed his cheek bone. He was out about two weeks, but he came back and played good ball afterwards. Al was slow getting started in his hitting, but when he did hit it always counted. He will be back again next year. Wade McCullough, First Base “String” took up the initial sack in Al's absence and played the base well. He was not a heavy hitter, but his bingles came when they were needed. String played a steady dependable game, being good at snagging the high ones. He will not call for his suit next year. Edgar Hagist, Second Base A good hitter, flashy fielder, and a good base runner. Eddie was a great help to the team. He practically always got on base, and he could hit for extra bases too. Ed covered his bag in a fine, de- pendable style, and the batter that drove a hit through him was to be congratulated. He will play ball for Roosevelt next year. Leonard Miles, Third Base “Len,” with Ed. formed one of the best infield combinations in the city. He was a flashy, accurate fielder and he hit when the hits were most needed. Len knew baseball and played it for all he was worth. Although he is a little man, no drive was too big for him. He will answer to the call for men next year. Tom Hyllengren, Capt.f Shortstop Tom was about the best shortstop in the city. He guarded his position in excellent style and his home runs came when they were needed the most. No liner was too hot for him : if he couldn’t catch them he knocked them down. He was a valuable man to the team. Tom will be back next year. Don Day, Fielder Don could play any field well. He had a long, accurate throw that flagged many a runner at home plate. He could cover lots of territory in the field, and his hits came when they were needed, too. He was an asset to the team and will be back chasing the high ones next spring. Stanley Mullane, Fielder Another hard-luck victim was “Shrimp,” an injury to his thumb keeping him out of a good many games. But as soon as his broken thumb had mended he was back catching flies. He was an all-round ball player and a heavy hitter. Shrimp will be missed, as he joins the ranks of the alumni. Earl Snider, Fielder “Monty” was a good fly chaser, and hg could always be depended unon to gather in the long ones. Although not a con- sistently heavy hitter, he got in telling cracks at the ball, which helped a great deal. He always played good ball. Monty will be back with the Rough Riders next year. Henry Yamaoka, Fielder “Heinie” was a fly chaser of no mean ability. His hitting was also good. He is a good ball player and he gave his best for Roosevelt. He hit regularly at the plate and his fielding was good at all times. Heinie was fast on the bags and he could slide, too. He will be out again next spring. Arthur Garton, Pitcher “Lefty was a south-paw whose hooks and curves kept the batters guessing. He allowed but few hits and could work himself out of the pinches well. He was not a heavy hitter, but his smacks came when they were needed. Lefty is only a Freshman, so much is expected of him in the next few years. PAGE 105 Tennis Team LANGLIE GLEASON OSTERHOUT DE OCA TENNIS TENNIS got away to a slow start this year, but under the capable coaching of Mr. Leaf made up for lost time by having many dual matches with rival schools. Howard Langlie, tennis manager, helped out in this respect. Howard Langlie, first man at Lincoln last year, again became first man here, by going through the elimination tournament and challenge round undefeated. Though “Howie” was the smallest man on the team, he cer- tainly knew his stuff. Ramon de Oca, though never playing flashy tennis, was (excepting Howie) the most consistent player on the team. In all his matches he was as cool as a cucumber. Fred Gleason was perfection itself when it came to a driving game. He earned his way to the team through his fine driving. Albert Osterhout was noted on account of his terrific serve. His serve was by far the hardest of any one on the team. James Beck was always ready to step into the shoes of A1 when A1 was playing baseball. Don Day played well, but because of the fact that he was on the baseball team, could not devote much time to tennis. Eddie Hagist, another baseball player, came through the toui-nament with colors flying, but was needed too much guarding second base to let a little thing like tennis worry him. Merritt Day was the hard luck victim, as he was in the hospital the greater part of the season with water on the lungs. PAGE 106 Leo McCullough, Duke Lewis Teegarden, King Elliott Bogert, Duke YELL LEADERS Lewis Teegarden, ably supported by his two dukes, gave the fellows on the field the kind of support they deserved. The students, faculty, and all loyal Rough Riders owe these boys a debt of gratitude for their untiring efforts to keep the old Roosevelt Spirit going all the time. Below are listed the songs and yells which are dear to all true Roose- veltians. SONGS “Roosevelt, We Are Calling You” (Tune of “Joan of Arc”) Roosevelt, Roosevelt! True blue are we to you. Can’t you see we’re in the game to win? We will stand by you through thick and thin. Roosevelt, Roosevelt! Let your spirit guide us through; Come lead your school to victory! Roosevelt! We are calling you. “Hail Spirit of Roosevelt” (Tune of “Solomon Levi”) Oh, Roosevelt! Thy loyal men Have gathered on the field To hit the line and win the fight And never will they yield. Now for a cheer, for we are here, A victory to gain. And whether we win or whether we lose, We’ll not have played in vain. ■ Chorus Hail, Spirit of Roosevelt! Urge our boys to fight. Hail, Spirit of Roosevelt! Urge our boys to fight, to light, To hit the line, To hit it hard, And never to foul or flinch, Ever to push the ball ahead, And never to yield an inch. YELLS R-O-O-S-E-V-E-L-T (Whistle) Siss-ss-ss..........Boom! Ah-h-h-h-ha-a (Shriek whistle) Roosevelt! Roosevelt! Roosevelt! Fight ’em. Fight ’em, Team. (Three times over) Oskey, Wow, Wow! Wiskey, Wee, Wee! Holy Muckie! Old Rough Riders, Hi! Roosevelt, Roosevelt Hi! Growl, Teddies! (half stand) Growl, Teddies! (half stand) Ghr-r-r-rah, (half stand) Ghr-r-r-rah, (half stand) Rah-rah Teddies! (all) Yeah Roosevelt! Yeah Roosevelt! PAGE 107 Girls’ Championship Basketball Team GIRLS’ ATHLETICS From “The Diary of Theodora” “We are boosting for the Seniors, boosting good and strong, Hear our cheer for the Seniors, as the ball rolls along, long, long, long; Can’t you see the ball a-skimming to the basket in the wall? Can’t you hear the Seniors winning? Here’s to Basketball!” (Senior Basketball Song.) Wednesday, Feb. 7.—Lots of pep and enthusiasm today. The final bas- ketball game in the championship series is to be played off. The Juniors do battle with the as yet undefeated Seniors. The high and mighty Seniox-s are decoi-ating the northwest corner of the gym in the Rough Ridex-s’ colors—blue, maroon, and gold. The ambitious Juniors, in the southeast coimer near the staix'case, are displaying their ai'tistic talent with festoons of maroon and gi'ay. The northeast corner is being brilliantly decked out by the Sophs with red and white crepe paper and balloons. The Freshmen are making a big sign, “Fi-osh,” of green and white crepe paper. It is time for the pai-ade to stax-t! Later.—In rode the Senior team yelling, “Ride ’em, Rough Riders, Ride ’em!” The Junior team dragged in a float with cunnin’ little childx-en on it. The howling Sophs mai’ched boldly all ai'ound the gym, with papex- ribbons flying, and for fear they would not be able to make enough noise they engaged the services of a stray dog. The timid (?) Freshmen galloped to their corner and all was x-eady for the battle royal. PAGE 108 Girls’ Championship Volley Ball Team The first half of the game ended with cheers of “Basket, Alvey!”, “Slick, Mary!”, and “Good stuff, Madeline!”, with the score 12 to 4 in favor of the Seniors. The Juniors went into the second half with determined jaws, and to the surprise of all the girls as well as the dog, the score ended in favor of the Juniors, 16 to 15. This ties the Juniors and Seniors for the cham- pionship, so another game is going to be played off. Monday, Feb. 19.—Another Red Letter Day in Girls’ Athletic History, for today decided the basketball championship. This exciting event was short on decorations but long on thrills. After a hard fought game, the Seniors rode off with the championship, the score being 17 to 13. Thus endeth the basketball season of 1923. VOLLEY BALL Monday, Feb. 26.—First volley ball turnout! Prospects are fine for the Sophs and Juniors. Wednesday, March 14.—Volley ball teams chosen today. The scheduled games will soon be played and another championship decided. Monday, April 2.—All volley ball preliminaries have been played off and the championship honor lies between the Sophs and the Juniors. The Seniors lost all games but one, which was their first with the Freshmen. Rebecca McArthur starred for the Seniors. The Junior-Soph game was positively queer! All laws of nature seemed to point to victory for the Sophs. However, the Junior class again did the PAGE 10 9 Girls’ Baseball unexpected, winnin.tr the championship. The delighted Juniors say that victory perches on their banner because of the way “K. C.” served the ball. BASEBALL Tuesday, April 3.—Baseball! Come on everyone! Let’s have a good turnout for the favorite spring sport. All ye Babe Ruths come on and try your luck. We have a good turnout, but there is still a chance for some better players to make teams. With Amelia as pitcher, Mary as catcher, and Mad Bogert as first baseman, the Seniors ought to cinch another championship to add to their collection. Bee DeRemier pitches for the Juniors, Gladys Gray catches. Lots of competition there! The Sophs and Frosh had such a good turnout that to accommodate all they have first and second teams. Mondav, April 16.—Who said basketball was gone forever? The re- sourceful Sophs challenged the Faculty to a game. The Faculty managed to get in a little practice, and turned out to uphold their honor. Miss Glass, as “Jumping-.Tupiter,” played center, Miss Norton, as “Flying Mercury,” side center. Miss Erikson and Miss Adams played as forwards, while Miss Mullon and Miss Baker were the guards. It was a rare treat to watch the excited, hard-playing Faculty, and although the Sophs scored 22 to 14, they showed fine spirit and good sportsmanship. Here’s to the Faculty! HIKING Tuesday, April 24.—Leaving the gym at 3:30 the girls started to Carkeek for their fourth official hike. We hiked along 65th Street to 27th, later passing the “Big Rock” and the “Haunted House.” Thence out 75th Sti'eet. at the end of which we filed down a beautiful wooded trail to the railroad. We only had to “hop the ties” a few hundred feet when we arrived at Carkeek Park. After paying our respects to the old bell of pioneer days we began to retrace our steps. This time we hiked along 65th and came back to Roosevelt tired but happy. The next hike will be to Woodland Park, where we will eat our supper and open the tennis season. PAGE 110 Girls’ Tennis TENNIS May 5.—Thanks to our Athletic Committee we have secured permission from the Park Board to run off a spring tennis tournament on the Cowen Park courts. ATHLETIC BANQUET Friday, May 11.—Tonight Girls’ Athletics reached a climax at the Athletic Banquet. All the famous Amazons of Roosevelt were there. Never will one of us forget how screamingly funny Blanche Hamilton was when she so dramatically toasted, “Famous Athletes I Have Known”; how for days beforehand Mary Grier said, “Oh, I’ll never be able to do it, yet at the banquet she blossomed out with a perfectly wonderful toast. Miss Adams was charming as she always is to the girls who have so enjoyed working under her direction this year. Beatrice DeRemier voiced the feeling of all the girls when she toasted our “Petite Adams. Miss Gross, physical director from the University, as the speaker of the evening, was an inspiration to all the girls. Mr. Froula, also, responded to a toast in his masterly style. The eats simply could not be beat, and with the ever pleasing “Aurora Guards,” serving as “Hebes” (i. e., “cup-bearers to the gods”), and the delightful music of our Girls’ Orchestra filling the air with harmony, the first Roosevelt Banquet was a social triumph. Friday, June 15.—The end of school year closes our athletic seasons. Next year let’s all turn out for some sport. We are hoping to have a hockey field of our own by next fall. If you can’t be a player, be a booster. Let’s all join hands for bigger, better girls’ athletics and help to make the American girls real sportswomen, not only on the athletic field, but in the more complicated game of life.

Eight men comprised this year’s fighting water polo team. However, they all got drowned befoi-e the season was over. Those who made their “Are’s” are: William Oust, Joseph Gonnick, Herman McWrangle, Ralph Osk, Rabindranath Gupto, Lorimer Gersh, Alfred Necker, Johnnie Ilg and Harry Lorch. The coach was Gouverneur Erpf. As the ruling goes into effect next year concerning the fact that water polo pools should be only 5 feet deep, it is sincerely hoped by this year’s team that fewer people will be drowned.

That is the honor which the team from Rosenfeld took by defeating the team from the Warren Avenue School of Feeble Minded. Crocheting is one of the most gruelling of high school sports. But this team never shii’ked its duties, nev- er missed practice for more than four days at a time, and was made up of fine sports. Those that made the team were Lester Grauble, Herman Filch, Wilmot Fishley, and Robert Mamble. The staff had not enough money to print a picture of the team, so in- stead of that they printed a picture of the World’s Tennis Champions, Seumas Ahrensbacker and Fiona McCrumb. Especially deserving of praise was the coach, Mr. Howard Urk, who besides coaching, peddles bootleg whiskey.

The first dance of the year was held in room 201, on the stage, about 500 attending. The whole doggone place was tastefully dec- orated with red and dark pink tent flaps. Even the telephone had a chalk mark on it. The Senior Handkerchief hop was another wonderful dance. During the intermissions an ambulance rushed into the room, picking up the people injured while eating punch, while the shrieks of the dead and dying rang through the air. The Juniors, not to be outdid, put on a mammoth mixer, and called it the Daffodil Dance, by Schuman- Heink. Last, but not least, the Frosh put on an original affair, known as the Freshman Frolic. The gym was tastefully decorated with Irish con- fetti, pink absence slips, and waxed floors, and to cap the climax, green maple leaves.
