llllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII THE STRENUOUS LIFE llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Extra-Curricular Aetivities That work, rather than play, forms binding social relations and contributes to real character development is a theory well proved in Roosevelt's extensive system of extra-curricular activities. The students supply energy and enthusiasm, that is, the actual working force, the faculty, just as enthusiastic but more experi- enced, aids with kindly and helpful advice that gives stability to the project. The faculty believes that through extra-curricular activity the pupil applies the power gained through regular curricular subjects, and is motivated to acquire greater power and ability, and that he develops more real citizenship under the natural and spontaneous activities than any classroom can offer. First among the activities are the student body organizations. Under Mr. Berthiaume, who took Mr. Morgan's place as Boys' Advisor, old institutions of the Boys' Club were improved and new ones established. Notable among the latter is the Intramural Athletic program, supervised by Mr. Wampler. Inter-school athletic teams come under the supervision of the Boys' Club and may be classified as a Boys' Club activity. Mr. Dvorak as head coach, Mr. Smith, Mr. Scheer, Mr. Leaf, and Mr. Wampler handled the teams in fine fashion. The Girls' Club has sought to touch up every point of school life that can be improved. A multitude of committees was the result. Miss Glass, Girls' Ad- visor, was aided in her work by Miss Lee, Miss Gleason, Mr. Rarig, Miss Mercer, Miss Conaway, Miss Beckham, Miss Adams, Mr. Worth, Miss Pelz, Miss Roe, Miss Nordell, Miss Ward, Miss Greguson, Miss Vaupell, Mrs. Kemper, Miss Mathews and Mrs. Moody. Consistently valuable work was performed by the joint organizations and committees. The clubs were advised by Miss Nordell, Mr. Riggs, Mr. Kirschner, Mr. Berthiaume, Miss Adams, Miss Roe, Miss Tomlinson, and Mr. Scheer, who was assisted by Mr. Rantz. The joint committees of the Boys' and Girls' Clubs, playing a vital part in school life, were sponsored by Miss Willcox, Mr. W. J. Smith, Miss Abel, Miss Conaway, Mr. Bullock,.Mi.ss Ward and Miss Lee. Mr. Leaf took care of all ticket-selling. Mr. Chamberlin hand1led'the money of the school and acted in the capacity of School Treasiirer. Miss Miller advised the publication of the Strenuous Life. Mr. Rarig directed the publication of the Roosevelt News, a project of the four journalism classes. Others who aided in all-school work were Miss Caskin, Senior Class, assisted by Mr. G. M. Smith, Miss Gilbreath, Junior Class, assisted by Miss Roe, Miss Johnstone, Sophomore Class, Miss Pelz, assistantg Miss Russell, Freshman Class, aided by Miss Craven, Miss Norton, entering Freshman, Mr. Scholl, bookroomg Mr. Landes, ushersg and Miss Denecke, Torch. Intramural debate leaped to new prominence through the efforts of Mr. Sham- baugh and Mr. Kirschner. Mr. Toomey, director of debate, was aided in coaching city league participants by Mr. Blade, Mr. Cox and Mr. Peterson. To Miss Whitmire may be attributed dramatic excellence shown during the past year. Many small skits were the result of Miss Lee and her Girls' Club Dra- matic Committee. Miss Miller was an able assistant to Miss Whitmire, and aided in producing the class plays. Miss Fulton introduced puppetry, a new form of dramatics. On the stage, Mr. Diets supervised activity with Mr. Erickson assisting in construction. Mr. Worth was responsible for the opera, the concert and music assemblies. In the opera Mr. Riggs, Miss Nordell, Miss Lee, Miss Vaupell, Miss Mathews, Mrs. Moody, and Miss Whitmire rendered valuable assistance. Outside projects are indeed the real life of the students. They are the work- ship into which one takes new knowledge and ideas of the classroom to be tested. They do not in any way supplant the regular work in the curriculum, but are normal outgrowths of it. The pages of this book will reveal to what a great degree extra- curricular activities are projects arising in the classroom. page twenty-one
