Every heart is touched with emotion, every mind is alive and thoughtful, wondering what to expect, thinking of what the mean- ing of the past three years has been. A senior stands waiting for the exercises to begin, steeped in the twilight air of the event,,he is moved to on unusual pensiveness. Those three years really hurried by. But they were probably important ones, too. A complex maze of emotions, reactions, developments, they were the last few bricks of our foundation to be laid in place. Now it's all over, the hard work, the ioys, the troubles, and the end is in sight. I've put forth a great deal of effort toward this end. Why? A trip down the aisle, a small piece of parchment, and a handshake of con- gratulations? Congratulations for what? Just what does this mean, what have I gained from these three years of work? Inside the auditorium the band sings a mellow, full-voiced song. Strangely moving, the slow, strident cadence strikes deep.

Z my A whispered quiet falls over the group. ln measured pace the line of seniors advances from the dusky recesses into the light. Even now a graduate reminisces. lt seems iust like yesterday, my first day at Roosevelt. Such a vast, beautiful building, so many people doing so many things, such an automatic routine! It took me a whole year to become accustomed completely to the bustle and order of high school life. The teachers and classes were what really floored me, though. I had thought iunior high was tough! Mountains of homework each night, long, difficult classes every day, fantastically contrived tests- all this occupied every moment of my time. And I had to make a whole new set of friends too, with the sorrowful fareweils at iunior high still fresh in my mind. ln the new environ- ment I was more timid than before, I didn't put myself out to make friends. All boxed up in myself, the problems of strict teachers, new friendships, and an un- familiar school kept my hands full that first year. . . . and we would like to welcome all of you, continues Mrs. Wells, parents, friends, and guests, to this significant occasion . . . Guests are introduced, and a selection by the band is announced. The principal returns to her seat as the bandleader raises his arms for attention. 5 kip: fx 4 'N-une Elva C. Wells Principal To the graduates: As you go forth to make your mark in the world, stand firm for the things that are right and good. I believe you have been well grounded in the funda- mentals of learning. You know how to read, to write, to spell, to figure, and in some degree to study. Also your teachers have challenged you to think, to use the knowledge you have gained to think problems through and to come up with a reasonable solution. l hope 6 ,ffjk ir ' ,sm , ,hi veg' 'iv Qt 0 fi r. -0 'L ,J r., in addition you have woven into the fabric of your character two things: personal integrity and respon- sibility, These two qualities are the warp and woot of American democracy and the essentials to demo- cratic living. Clothed about with these qualities, you will be able to stand firm no matter what comes. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ZZWZ Wm firm .leaders steady spirited youfh During the year the guiding hand of the prin- cipals shows up in many places. Mrs. Wells asserts a positive influence on all school activity. Everyone is aware of her ideals and her strict desire for the right in all she says and does. To most boys and girls, Miss Stewart is the pleasant person leading the assembly, Mr. Horn is an amiable-looking man advising a boy who can't seem to keep out of trouble. These vague ideas are the conception of the administrators most of us hold. Some few students, mostly seniors, become ac- quainted with a more human side. Mr. Horn and Miss Stewart are both extremely cooperative, al- ways willing to help out. Mrs. Wells seems to feel personally responsible for the success of every graduate. These glimpses are still somewhat un- revealing, though. If we could pass a day behind one of their desks, we would be astonished by the size of their task. Running a whole school requires great tact, patience, and capacity for steady work. Each prin- cipal must be firm and yet kind, strict and yet pleasant. lt is an enormously difficult job, and recognition is due Mrs. Wells, Miss Stewart, and Mr. Horn for the way they handle it.

X EX is ,A Everyone we meet in the halls has struggled through spelling tests, written themes or term papers, has had to diagram a sentence. The whole gamut is all very set and definite, too. Third semester, 'fourth semester, there's Ivanhoe, Sir Walter Scott, gram- mar, grammar, grammar, fifth semester, sixth semester, there's The Turmoil, American literature, grammar, grammar, seventh semester, eighth se- mester, Macbeth, English literature, grammar. A wealth of knowledge and culture flows past, divid- ed up into neat packages, delivered promptly, one every day, to every student. lt's surprising that not even half the school partakes of the color and variety of a foreign lan- guage. But the world of those who do is magnih- cently different. The spicy tang and sunny flavor g- Noses to the grindstone. After weeks of research for terms papers, Miss Dewar's class is trying to decipher hastily scribbled notes. N5 You've got to give it that extra umph!

The thrill of reading or speaking in a strange tongue is new and exciting, even if we experience it only for a moment. The distinctive literature and charac- teristic spirit of each people are open to unre- strained plunder. Our own speech is enriched by leaps and bounds. After Latin grammar, English is a cinch.

They are Fay Silva, James Pryor, and Richard Tingley. lt is in the history and government classes, the social studies, where the typical classroom scene occurs. The bell rings, slowly the seats fill and the class becomes quiet. The teacher calls for order, the homework is passed in. Last minute cramming begins. Pages flip, notes are frantically searched, and everyone tries to stuff hundreds of facts into his head at once. There's a surprise test today! Name, section, and date in the upper right hand corner. First question. Silence and scribbled answers. After the last question, papers are passed up with a general sigh. The homework assignment is given, the bell clangs, and class is dismissed. This is the ordinary routine of the day except, perhaps, when a movie is to be shown, or when a speaker is to be heard. ln the hands of a skillful teacher, history can be as fascinating as a good story, government, as intri- guing as the mechanism of a clock. Law is widely considered dry and uninteresting, but many people find pleasure in studying cases and critical opinions, geography students, likewise, are not iust anyone, but those who are spellbound by a good map. Since these subiects are electives, not many take advantage of them. However, each exists in its separate field as an exciting world of thought. we scrutinize our fellow man, his world lO And there you are!

Most young people today are interested in sports, and the values of good sportsmanship gained through experience in teamwork far outlive the gym class. It must be pointed out that competitive games and calisthenics are not the only phases of physical edu- cation. Hygiene, necessary in broadening physical knowledge, makes its appearance in an array of classes. Some teach cleanliness, some, nutrition, and some, care of others. Besides the games and the competitions there are many little things that add color to the gym class. Everyone remembers dressing at breakneck speed to be on time for the next class, or the boys standing around to laugh at the girls trying their best to play basketball. Even more vivid are the contortions arising from the average exercise, and the horrible clutching pain of sore stomach muscles afterward. Though gym may be remembered by some as only a place for fun, others realize that this is the only time of the school day that pupils turn once again into boys and girls, playing as children unmindful of their outside cares. .IANE S.

From the expression on the faces of these geometry students, they must have caught a bug in the maze of geometric lines. Marie Lancaster and Bill Shoemaker are the students. What is there about a mathematics classroom or a laboratory that makes it so difterent from any other room in the school? To be sure a chem lab hasn't desks or chairs, but a geometry classroom is the same as any other room. It has the same number of black- ik, 1-'iff , , DPM' . . x!N AV , ' :JU li'-fl l ' L 5'A A B AD?

Perhaps in the lab it's the shiny crispness or the unusual odors seeping out ot the chemical storeroom, but in a math class there are no such physical devices to make it different. What is that typical atmosphere that surrounds such a place? Nowhere else is there the same air of precision and exactness, demanding the best of every student, nowhere else is there a fear of not living up to expectations. Remember the sinking feeling in your stomach when the teacher asked you to prove two parallelograms equal, or when you mistakenly cut through the pulmonary vein thinking that it was a piece of muscle, or even when you bubbled your breath into a test tube of limewater to test for CO, to find to your horror that it turned pink insead of the customary white?

At Roosevelt one-half of all enrolled students take some form of course that prepares directly for a vocationg one-fifth of the total area of the school is devoted to the clickety-clack of typewriters and oftice machinesg many girls practice using their skills by aiding teachers with clerical work, hundreds of boys spend informal hours behind a drawing board in mechanical drawing. These students know that what they are taking is important and very useful. The courses offer immediate practical use. To one it may mean economic independenceg to another it may be the opportunity to finance a college educationg to the third it may mean something as simple as being able to buy that mouton coat so long desired. The toilsome hours now may be difficult and trying, but when a car, or a good-paying iob, or a college degree rewards the student's labors, then these courses will be truly appreciated. EDGAR F.

It still leads a restricted life, its mind can- not comprehend what lies out of the range of its feelers. After hardening into a chrysalis, its little haven bursts, it emerges, stretches its cramped wings, and flies. It now goes far beyond its former realm, munch- ing on many strange new delicacies. Now it is ready to make its contribution to the world. Just so, the pupil in iunior high is given a taste, but only a taste, of the sweets of life. He takes only what is in his immediate grasp, still restricted by his im- maturity, he paints with the bright reds so typical of the beginner, he is the originator of the slightly oft- chord blare of the trumpet at the semester concert. In his own Chrysalis, however, the student is gradu- I8 ally developing, and one day he breaks his immature bonds and emerges. ln high school his range of comprehension is greater. ln the art room he paints in many media, creates with lines, or in three dimension. ln music he joins the band, chorus, or orchestra, and there he becomes familiar with all types of music-pops, class- ical, folk, and spiritual. He now appreciates beautiful colors and harmonious sounds. Everything suddenly becomes vividly alive-the wonders of a Rembrandt, the rich tones of a Negro spiritual, the inspiring quality of a powerful symphony. Endeavor doesn't stop with attainment, there is always a higher goal. And toward this refinement and delicacy the student, the beginner, everyone, can con- tinually work. All together again now. Miss Thompson wonders whether she'll ever hear beautiful music again. IRVING l.

Or, take cooking. Any girl can open a can of tuna fish, or cook up some hot dogs and call it supper, but what rewards the mother, trained in cooking, will receive when she hears her child say to the little boy next door, My mommy's the best cook in the worldl To be a mother and wife is one thing that most girls look forward to, but a sensible girl ought not to accept these wonderful gifts without training. She should be up to par on child care and be able to run her household on a smooth financial basis.

Full of ideas about taking mechanical drawing, typing, and chorus, he enters the office only to come out having signed up for English, chemistry, and algebra. Although a trifle dis- appointed now, the boy will probably be very grateful later on for the change. Or maybe the bulletin one morning says, standardized test, and off he trudges to the cafeteria, where Miss Stevens is ready to proceed with the exams. Having finally been given the signal to begin, he laboriously plods through the mountains of questions that he is sure he knows absolutely nothing about until he is re- lieved by the welcome Stop. Once again the counselors have figured in the boy's plans. Then in the senior year, he is faced with im- portant decisions concerning his future. Where should I go to college? Can l apply for a scholarship? What profession should l choose? Here he profits by sincere interest and competent counsel. Taking on the awkward robe of on adult is often a painful process, but the objective advice and heart-warming friendship given so freely by our counselors help to ease these situations. 777 the younger sei scans new horizons English . . . geometry . . . biology.

Giving a typi- cal spelling test is Mrs. Kern. 24 When we walked into Roosevelt for the first time, doing everything in our power not to get stepped on, it was a real change from iunior high. Just last June we were the big wheels. Now we had trouble iust trying to get to the auditorium. Plowing through a billion upperclassmen, plus having to ask direc- tions at every corner, left us in no condition to go farther than the last row. As we plopped down in our seats, we saw that we were not the only ones who were tto put it mildlyl petrified. It didn't comfort us to see ourselves dished out to section teachers like a hunk of mashed potatoes to a hungry chow line, either. Finally it was time for all the new teachers to take all their new pupils to all the new section rooms for all of us to get acquaint- ed. That wasn't as easy as you may think. Have you ever seen thirty kids all trying to sit in the last row? Neat trick if you can do it. By the time we were iust getting comfortable, the bell rang, and we went shuffling around trying to find our first period class. Third semester leading third semester, the blind leading the blind. This went on for days, bumping into people, going up the wrong stairway, arriving late for classes. By the time the first ad- visory rolled to a close, we were wondering if it was worth living in a world of such confusion. But, like all inevitables, this too we learned. Eventually we knew this school like the back of our hands, and it only took four and a half months. By the end of the third semester there just wasn't anything we didn't know. b ' SECTION H9-3 ltopl First Row: Veronica Scott, Gloria Glas- gow, Eileen Deon, Linda Randolph, Sandra Nelson.

Things were different in my junior year. I took alm t ' ' ' os everything in my stride then. Nine long months of classes and homework had conditioned me to study. A growing spirit, lively and alert, I . even flung out my wishes toward something more to do. Since I was taking iournalism, the REPORTER work helped quench my desire. I ioined Allied Youth and Latin Club, too, gay and brightly- colored hours were spent throwing parties, staging plays, planning meetings, and gob- bling up the refreshments. And in the spring I went out for track. Al most everyone found some activity suited to his interest- football or basketball, clubs, publications, or cadets. My circle of friends gradually widened as the year went on. Not only did I strengthen old friendships, but I also went out and made new friends. The light, gentle breeze of experience had awakened me to the hidden powers of growth, a sureness that comes of . . So keep these thoughts ever close to your heart.

Ehud Food, food all around and none that we can eatl say these students suffering from mid-afternoon hunger os they longingly gaze at the Student Council's Christmas food baskets collected for needy families. By the second year the go-getters have begun to assert themselves. The most diligent have worked their way to the top either as leaders or as scholars. The Student Council and the Honor Society are their fields of operation, one to train leaders, the other to honor scholars. As a group representative of the whole school, the Student Council gathers suggestions from every section, evaluates them, and combines the ideas into proiects for the benefit of everyone. With Mrs. Chap- man's assistance, the established programs, a Christ- mas food drive, Student Day, and the six advisory movies were carried of? with much success. The group initiated some new ventures, too. Lunch hours are now brighter with music in the cafeteria, a post office was set up to handle Christmas cards. An active council means an eventful year.

Under Miss Stewart's helpful direction the members per- formed several traditional functions. A survey of last year's graduates' activities completes many school records, the coaching service often helps others to pass a difficult course, a tea for honor roll students encourages prospective members. Though people often think they only rest on their laurels, the Honor Society members put in a mighty busy year. ga A. YNY i i K, l , I ' i W 1 , , . ' ..

The appearance of every page, the position of every picture, type blocks, and headline locations must be planned exactly by the layout staff. All these processes go on simultaneously, giving the library the appearance of pandemonium. Deadline day springs upon the staff with a few mumbled good riddances , but when the yearbooks arrive and eager hands flip through the bright pages everyone concludes, Maybe it was worth it. Strictly for budding iournalists and fledgling editors, the REPORTER is the iournalism class' pet proiect.

Q0 QQ cn an Lp., 42 ma Newsome, Arnita Thurston, The different language clubs contrive innumerable variations on a similar theme. The Latin Club's programs always show the imprint of Miss WoFford's careful teaching. Calling to mind clank- ing armor, sharp commands, stately columns, the dramas, talks, and readings give a glimpse of a more leisurely past, a delicate aura that flees before the hustle and bustle of modern life. A hearty supporter of that relentless pace is the Frenchman. Roosevelt's French Club tries to imitate his up-to-date tempo, even conducting its meetings in his native language, Mrs. Girard's murmured comments notwithstanding. Although Voila les rafraichissements may be the most frequently repeated words, the charm of French culture seeps through the melee of songs and games to take some starch out of a complicated life. Things can go too far, though. Lazy Pablo lying in the noonday sun simply has no starch at all. But then again, add a few senoritas to the picture and, my! such dash, such suave elegance! Capturing the warmth and spice of such a scene, the Spanish Club turns out songs and dances galore, all under the vigorous and energetic guidance of Mrs. Martinez. But vigor and energy turn up in the North, too, and in a different form. lmitating the proud dignity and force of German, Miss Brook's amateur linguists are con- tinually trying out their wings. Interest adds movies, talks, and the unquenchable spirit of song. Each club in its own way reflects the special feeling of its language into the mind, relieving it from dullness, and into the heart, lifting it towards culture.

Third ln the Discussion Club, mutual problems are tossed about from mind to mind, more to broaden under- standing than to find answers. Strong opinions flame out, are gently put down by the moderator, reluctant members find themselves drawn into the stream of ideas, or Mr. Wilson himself may set the point aright with an apt comment. ln short, everyone enioys him- self thoroughly.

X, tough iobs find willing hands Some organizations at Roosevelt aim not only to enjoy themselves, but also serve with their talents, and although they may go without material rewards, the satisfaction they feel from having helped others renders their tasks pleasant. Service to others is its aim and the Junior Red Cross well accomplishes this purpose. By sponsoring enroll- ment and playing card drives, making place cards, stuffed toys and scrapbooks, and filling Christmas stockings, the members, with the forceful assistance of Mrs. Dutton, have lessened the burden of a service- man's loneliness and brightened the dark days of an invalid child.

A some of the tasks Mr. Russell's boys handle. Besides training young men in the complicated techniques of stage production, this group strives to increase effi- ciency, provoke good conduct, and practice rules of physical safety. At first glance Miss Saunders may think she is sponsoring an art or science club, for photography is a special blend of both. But while laboring after artistry and precision, the zealous members of the Camera Club also record the significant happenings of the school year. These moments snatched from sports, scholastic, and social events are often pre- served in the ROUGH RIDER or the REPORTER as mementos of our year at Roosevelt. In this the Camera Club serves the school in a lasting way. Here deft fingers become skilled, a clear eye becomes practiced.

The Y-Teens, helping girls to grow in understanding and getting along with people, has as its sponsor Miss Wright. The success of the teenage fashion show, the Hallowe'en party, and the sale of doughnuts at the football games, has earned these girls the reputation of being real live wires. - ..si.s1a4:1s2m'bvi1 PM The refuge of the tricky quarterback or the crafty pitcher is the R Club.

However, formol drill is not forgotten. Evidence of this is Roosevelt's selection as one of the ten honor schools in the Second Army District, which puts us on o por with severol full-time militory ocodemies. On this bosis, grod- uate codets from this school may be excused from the basic plan of college ROTC. Our rifle team has token first ploce in the District of Columbio public schools for the Hearst Trophy Motch. Also, during the yeor, there were inspections of records, rifles, ond uniforms, olong with the numerous bottolion and regimental reviews. There was also keen competition between units in the intro-murol competitives. As o climax to on eventful year, there are the various inter-high competitives.

Second row: Coach Joey Kaufman, Nick Mantzouris, Bruce Ed- kins, Charles Drago, Melvin Craig, Wesley Lacey, Harold Burke, This year the Roosevelt football campaign couldn't be termed a smashing success. As early as a month before the season opened, local sportswriters had singled out the Roughs as easy favorites to capture the Western Division title. Combining this with the opti- mism of Coaches Kaufman, Littman, and Tranen, and the individual players, it was only natural for the student body to be excited by the time the season opener with Cardozo began. But the balloon holding the hopes of 1200 students burst suddenly when on the opening kickoff of the '55 campaign, a Cardozo back ran the ball back ninety-two yards for a score with the game only ,Vic igifvif fl 'UQV' Cliff Arnett, lrv Zetlin, Lee Leathery, Dave Rowe, Ken Cheeks.

The Orange and Blue fought back with grim determination, but first game iitters and inex- perience brought crushing defeat. There was still hope when on the following week- end Roosevelt encountered Wilson, who was fighting for a possible division crown, too. Again victory eluded the Riders, this time on a sixty yard pass play in the last seventeen seconds of the contest. Though only two games old, the season seemed iust about over. However, the season could not be called a failure. Whenever young men, striving toward the same end, work together as one, displaying sportsmanship and fair play, the result has to be an asset to all. gridiron heroes crash through the line Cardozo ..

'V -, 58 win or lose, sportsmen always The rafters supporting the roof of Roosevelt's gym were not shaken as much by the yells and screams of patriotic fans during the past basketball season as they have been in recent years. For those fans who did attend the games, though, rain or snow, win or lose, a seventeen game schedule supplied many thrills and heartbreaks. Although the team dicln't reach the division play-offs, the squad began to display a marked improvement in the last third of the season. lt started calmly on the Riders' home court. St. John's, a highly rated area team was knocked cold by the Roughs, 50-48. Experts gasped! Was this the same Roosevelt quintet which had floundered so badly in the beginning of the year? Before their surge of mastery on the court was over, the Riders had rolled up six straight victories. Unfortunately, so many of the games were won from non-league teams that they missed the play-offs. Demetre Koutras and Harold Burke paced this edi- tion of basketballers. Both standing over six feet tall, these rebound artists possessed deadly accuracy with their jump shots. Next season's squad, with Burke returning for an- other campaign, and Coach Ferazzi having had a full year to experiment with his corps of athletes, looks strong enough to be a contender for the play-offs, but winning or losing, they will still carry on the Roosevelt tradition of sportsmanship. xl Ml Out of reach Ralph Featherstone leaps high in the air to release his iump shot, while Cardozo defenders surround him in vain. Leaping high, Demetre Koutras bounds oft the floor to escape the equally high iump of his Cardozo defender. 59 pep and steam fire basketball quintet Gonzaga . . St. Anthony's Wilson .... McKinley ..

Unfortunately, rosters cannot be large enough to keep every boy, but for those who showed the most desire, sportsmanship, and ability, three months of hard, good clean competition is the reward. Two of the warm weather sports are baseball and golf. The baseball squad has ten lettermen returning this spring. Team members and fans are not thinking of having a pennant-winning team, but in a full season many unexpected happenings occur, especially when ace hurler Demetre Koutras, is on the mound. Tennis players are the quintessence of spring in their spotlessly white uniforms. Courageously defeating a strong opponent, placing the ball inches inside the foul line, and guarding the net religiously are easy accom- plishments for a skilled racketeer. P -1 ,.

The Break! Felix Lloyd, William Hinson, John Peake, Elliot Ford, and Mason Shepherd speedily break from the starting line, Golf is the sport that probably applies the most ten- sion on players. In a close game the selection of the wrong club or wrong iudgment in playing a fast green can easily mean the difference between victory or de- feat. However, it is a pleasant sight to see a ball travel- ing straight down the fairway and to watch long putt shots drop into the cup. Track completes the spring curriculum. Pounding out a ten second dash, a sixty second mile, throwing the shot put, clearing the cross bar, or leaping many feet into a sawdust pit are events seen at any high school track meet. Sometimes a new record is established, but more often, the participation, the striving to win for team and school, gives more intangible and more lasting results. oufdoor sports thrive in the spring i i TRALK IEAM First row: Felix Lloyd, Dion Watts, Walter Jennings, Ricky Groves, Charles Drago, George Kalivretenos, John Peake, John Bigelow, Aubrey Lewis, Vincent Taylor.

The activities of the girls' after school sports have opened the doors to healthy minds, broken fingernails, aching bones, and strong bodies for many. Each new season brings a different sport. Fall finds our girls participating in hockey, bad- minton, and basketball. Volleyball reaches its peak during the winter season with much lively competition. In spring we look forward to softball with much enthusiasm. Following this, tennis commands our attention. Of course during the summer vacation, many girls swing over to swimming and golf as a means of keeping fit. Members of the G.S.A., at the end of the year, receive sports awards for their faithful participa- tion. The earning of lOO points entitles the girl to an emblem, l5O to a letter, and additional points to a bar. Of course some may think these girls lack the finesse and color of the varsity teams, but they have secret weapons that would dazzle any varsity man. 'A the other half shows off 67 here we go again: It was a beautiful autumn day in the middle of September as the kids convened outside Roosevelt High School at approximately 8:45 in the morning. A bell rang. Students noisily moved in the general direction of the doors. The second year of our high school career had ofiicially begun. We were then the big wheels lwell, almostl. We knew it all. Teachers couldn't teach us a thing we didn't already know: chemistry-that's nothing but a bunch of atoms, al- gebra-we had that in iunior high, history-well, we got this far didn't we? English-we got that made. Lunchtime leisure.

Then we settled down into our gay, carefree high school days. After failing the first chemistry test, we decided the teachers iust weren't with us. But we condescended llast week's spelling wordl to follow their line of think- ing so we could pass a few tests. Trials and tribula- tions finally whittled us down to size as the first advisory drew to a close.

Mrs. Wells, guests, and fellow classmates . . . have you ever wondered with what thoughts the world considers us? They, every one, are envious, they would themselves be graduates today. Just as we are now . . Alone amidst the array of caps and gowns, one small senior returns to his wandering thoughts. There is something about that last year in high school that makes it wistfully appealing, even to adults, it is by universal consent a truly beau- tiful time. Admired, exalted, we seniors capture the envy of eleven inferior years. Still children, we are crowned with adult privilege, mature, we are saved from adult care. The grumblings and mutterings of the world brush our sensitive ears and startle anxious thoughts, but there is a little time yet, and such thoughts pass swiftly. Lost in a world of schoolwork, dates, dances, yearbooks, senior class meetings, class suppers, fittings for caps and gowns, rehearsals for graduation, it's no wonder that we never thought of trying to have a good time, we were too busy having one. A long pause by the speaker throws the auditorium into deadly silence. The girl picks up her idea and pronounces, So gather up about you this key- look straight and clear at all the world. No man could require more. The profound thought captivates every listener, but clapping soon erases the spell. fifgk I' N x These seniors have a hard problem: How to unload rock out serious iniury. February Class Officers. James Lauderdale, president, James Corsetly, treasurer, Gary Dilweg, vice president, Joan Sedlmaier, secretary. Senior year is here. At our first senior meeting we dispensed with the preliminaries, we decided to wear caps and gowns, and established dues. The election of senior officers is very serious business. The apple polishers were out in full force. At times it appeared as if the candidates outnumbered the class, but it finally settled down to a roar as the winners were announced. With this struggle behind us, we moved on to the more serious business of classes and homework. Weeks later at the first rehearsal it ap- peared as if there would be no graduation. But as the little charges were herded into order, things be- gan to look brighter. Then disaster struck-no money for the senior sup- per. What to do? Since lotteries are illegal, we turned in desperation to selling that delicious candy. Many students wondered whether this was illegal too. But finally the last iar was peddled to some un- suspecting underclassman and we looked forward to the senior supper. 76 4-as Y At last graduation day arrived. The march began and we were on our way. Fearful lest we fall flat on our faces, we walked what seemed the last mile. After a few songs and some sixty-odd diplomas, we reversed the process.

Q. ,-,fi . ve , Somebody say something funny'-t Terry Apple, Paul Fein- berg, Ricky Groves, and Flo Fineman think so, as they walk to their next period class. June Class Officers: Eleanor Holt, secretary, George Kalivre- tenos, president, Susan Schwarz, school spirit At the end of the 1956 senior year, our eyes turned to the February graduates with glances of envy. They'd been sprung and we still had five months to serve, but operations for release soon got under way. Our first great achievement of the year came when Mrs. Wells accepted us as a class. From there we pro- ceeded to elect class officers, which was accomplished with nothing less than an earthquake. Little tremors followed as we whittled our little problems down to size. With an eye toward the future, we settled down to do a little school work, but just a little mind you. Our poor teachers are still suffering from the initial shock that they received when they learned we were doing homework. We soon corrected the mistake of surprising them, we did nothing astonishing again. With signs of malnutrition popping up among us, we hastily prepared for the class supper, which went oft with a bang! Our appetites satisfied, we moved on to less important things, namely-graduation! We found that there was more than take with the left, shake with the right. When our advisors recovered from the first rehearsal, the slow, hard grind of learning to act cultured began. But graduation day arrived, and diplomas in hand we went out to conquer the world. 'T-I f' f l unifes usf 07 A4 ll ,415 5 ms '1- fv? .X .gi y, f' - ,sf , , , ' . x ll! V , ,V 4 I . I 1 I . 4M .

But our senior is still puzzled. What have I gained from high school? he pon- ders, That was his original question. He begins to review, to look more obiectively at his experiences. As sophomores, third semesters, we were all very childish, I can remember how quickly the days passed, how little things would keep us occu- pied. But the teachers were strict and we had to toe the line, or else! We learned geometry and English and Latin in spite of ourselves, Then we were iuniors. The daily grind was almost routine by then. It was the vogue to ioin activities and have fun after school. I recall it all very vividly- the Latin Club dramas , Allied Youth parties, slaving over a REPORTER article, sweating out a workout in track. As I became more and more active, I began to pan. meet people and learn their names and make them my friends. At last, then, that most eventful time arrived-our senior year. Everyone looked up to us as the leaders of the school, inspiring or otherwise. As more and more responsibility was handed over to us, we be- came the backbone and drive of the clubs and activi- ties. The duties ofthe world were hovering close, too. Its problems seemed to creep up on us and say, 'We're your problems nowl'. I began to wonder and even worry about what I was going to do when I left Roosevelt. Just last advisory, six weeks ago, we started wear- ing our senior caps. Then all the preparations for graduation whizzed by, And all of a sudden . . . the day is here. Which puts me right back to the Roosevelt audi- torium, and right back to my question. Just what did I get out of high school? Diplomas have been distributed. One by one each happy boy and girl tiles out. What do you think they got out of high school? 99 a last look af Index Advertisements .... . . . 102 Allied Youth .... . 48 Art Department . .. . 18 Assistant Principals . . 7 Baseball ......... . 62 Basketball .. . . 59 Cadet Band . 53 Cadets ..,..... . 50 Camera Club . 47 Chess Club .... . 44 Chorus ..... . 19 Color Guard . . . . 50 Concert Band . .. . 19 Conclusion .. . 98 Counselors ..... . 23 Crack Drill Team . 52 Discussion Club .... . 45 English Department . 8 February Graduates . . . . 76 First Year Division . 5 Football .......... . 56 French Club .... . 44 German Club ... . 42 GirI's Sports ............... . 66 Golf ........................ . 63 Home Economics Department ... . 20 Index .......................... 100 Intramural Basketball Champions .... 13 June Graduates ............., . 83 Junior Red Cross . 47 Juniors ..,.......... . 68 Language Department .. . 9 Latin Club ........... . 42 Map Team ............. . 52 Mathematics Department .... . 14 Music Department ...,... . . 18 National Honor Society ....... . 39 Physical Education Department .. . 12 Principal .................. . 6 R Club ............... . 49 Regimental Color Guard . . . . 50 Regimental Staff ....... . 51 REPORTER ..... . 41 Rifle Club . . . . 52 ACKNOWLEDGMENT: The ROUGH RIDER Staff of 1956 expresses sincere apprecia- tion to MISS NORMA BOSE, MISS LUCILE CARMACK, MISS LUCILLE DEWAR, and MISS ARBUTUS SAUNDERS, Faculty Ad- 100 fhe scene of our youth Rifle Team ..... . . . 53 ROUGH RIDER .... ... 40 Science Club ....... ... 45 Science Department ... . 14 Second Year Division .... . 37 Section 102-3 ........ . 25 Section 113-3 . . . . 32 Section 117-3 ... ... 32 Section 118-3 . 26 Section 119-3 . 25 Section 123-3 ,.. . 28 Section 125-3 . 29 Section 214-3 . 29 Section 215-3 . 26 Section 220-3 . .. . 33 Section 223-3 . .. . 30 Section 232-3 . 31 Section 304-3 . .. .. . 30 Section 305-3 . .. . 27 Section 107-4 . . . . . . 35 Section 127-4 . . . 34 Section 208-4 . 35 Section 201-5 . 71 Section 206-5 . .. . 68 Section 211-5 . 69 Section 218-5 . 69 Section 221-5 . .. . 71 Section 306-5 . .. . 70 Section 317-5 . .. . 70 Section 100-6 . 73 Section 134-6 . .. . 72 Section 303-6 ............ . 72 Social Studies Department . 10 Sophomores ............ . 24 Spanish Club . .. . 43 Sports ........ . 56 Stage Crew ..... . 46 Student Council .. . . 38 i Table of Contents .. . 3 Tennis ........... . 65 Theme ............ . 3 Third Year Division ...... . .. . . . 75 Track ........................... 64 Vocational and Business Department . 16 Y-Teens ......................... 48 visers, H.
