1967-68 will be remembered by Roosevelt students -and faculty as the year that the bene- fits of construction began to be utilized. The new physical environment provided by the changed building displaced many of the ties and much of the security of the old building for the upperclassmen, but opened the door to new possibilities and adaptations. Confrontations with non-functioning restrooms, stairways designated For Emergency Use Onlyf and masses of students clustered between classes around the alcove gave way to more efficient operation as early confusion cleared. Progress was marked by vending machines in the alcove, round and square tables in the new lunchroom, blue, red, and green plastic desks, rugs on the floor, and expanded facilities for the class- rooms. But the change also extended to new attitudes and programs beyond those due to construction. A revised ASR constitution, re- juvenated Boys' Club, and the formation of GIRC and the Ruifettes oifset the loss of pro- grams such as Revue and the decline in student independence through Operation Tighten Up. A magazine drive and the new method of assembly production by a special class reflected innovation. Periodic voluntary cleaning of the seal by students reflected continued ties with old traditions as the year brought its possibility of Something Better Beginningf, ASR Committee Chairmen-Back row: Jim Clifford, Jim Davis, Bob Caplan, Dave McCaEree.

By Working on the All-Metro League Sportsmanship Trophy, attending a safety conference at Sand Point Naval Air Station, and promoting the levy and transfer program with the Inter-Sights radio broadcast, Inter-high provided a student council between fourteen Metro League high schools. With the theme, Something Better Beginningf ASB included the areas of Student Cabinet and ASR Committees. Meeting third period during Student Government, Student Cabinet tried to fit the changed atmosphere of the construc- tion into the pattern of school life. With the Franklin exchange, the PTA ski sale and the support of transfer students, ASR Committees had an active year. Working with students and linking high schools, Ad Council, Inter-high, and ASR were an integral part of Rl-IS. Inter-high-Pat Shaw, Terry Williams, Tim Dearborn, Remy Newland, Terry Timberlake. I6
