ADMINISTRATIGN Roosevelt: a palace of memories, of wisdom, of learning-time- ripened by the passage of ten fruitful years which have added much to the treasure which she holds for those who come to stay within her coveted portals. Who holds the keys to this palaceg who serves as guide to the strangerg who aids the newly-arrived adventurer in the realm of knowledge to tap the source of everlasting wealth which may mean the most to him? We who have been here for some time call them the ofiice force the advisors, and the custodian. Technically they are referred to as the administration. But what matters their title? So much more valu- able is what they have come to mean to us. From our earlier days while Freshmen, when we first entered these strange halls of learning, we came to depend upon them for guidance. What should we take? Where was this located? What were the requirements? Numberless were the questions, but ready were their answers. Thus they became to us a source of information that was always at our disposal. In our later days as Seniors the questions are not so numerousg our ignorance not so great. But still they serve as guides-now, to larger palaces of wisdom and learning. Where shall we go? What course shall we follow? Once again with ready smile and kind reply they solve our problems for us. So as the time comes to bid adieu to this, our palace of memories, we wish to thank our guides for opening to us the locks that held the treasured secrets. In turn we keep locked in our hearts the memories of them and the palace which they have so faithfully served. Nineteen

DRINCIIPAUS FGREWURD The achievements of our days reduce to ordinary experiences the wild creations of The Arabian Nights. Ten years ago our school was only a dream and our neighborhood, without a paved street, was sparsely settled with humble homes. The building of a million dollar school in such a district seemed to some a wild venture and the School Board was severely criticized. Later events, however, proved that these men had vision as well as good judgment. Roosevelt High School opened its portals in the fall of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Two. Within three years the capacity of the building was taxed, and soon after that an addition was built. This briefly is the history of our growth but material growth is only a small measure of any community's real development. The schools of all ages have been the nurseries of spiritual values. Besides cultivating intellectual power, they also inspire a love of truth. They lead not only to the tree of Knowledge but also to the tree of Life. And so it is that the best thing about a school is its teachers. Edu- cation ever receives its shape from inspired personalities. Our school has been rnost fortunate in its teachers, kindled to un- common zeal by this maxim: Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. It was a great thing to lift our district out of the mud. It is a greater achievement to lift the youth of the district to a culture closely allied with the supreme interests of life. This has been the work of Roosevelt High School during its Hrst decade and will continue to be increasingly the great purpose of what we hope will become a great school. CYYVS'
