wmkinq Joqrzflwz OCCASION ALLY THROUGH THIS AN- NUAI. you will read something about school spirit ! At Roosevelt school spirit is created by all students working together through the ASR. Then everywhere--throughout the class rooms and halls, at assemblies, at athletic games, in and out of doors, our student organization makes its influence felt. Student cooperation behind cap- able leaders, those who are worthy of a following, those in whom students have confidence, brings the right results. This year has meant much for success on the ASR. The students at its head have given con- sistently clear leadership. Committees have func- tioned promptly and efficiently. The advisory council has done its work well.

Whatever of greatness there may be about Roosevelt High School is due in no small measure to the fine teachers who give so much of themselves to the life of the school. Without their contribution there could be no school life-no school spirit. Sometimes young people and their parents think of teachers as a sort of separate class of peo- ple who live rather remotely from real life. If this were true, teachers would be poorly fitted to help boys and girls grow into successful men and women. No, teachers are quite human, sub- ject to the same hopes and desires as pupils or parents. In fact, teachers are probably more en- thusiastic, more patient and more understanding than any other public servants. Let us all be more appreciative of the contri- bution made to the life of the school by our fine teachers. They give generously of their time and energy. We can do no less than to try to equal their efforts. Qu! gaflack
