Dedication To our class sponsors, in whose very title the word responsibility is wherent, we dedicate this book. With their help and inspiration in the years just behind us, we have perhaps come nearer to a realization of the responsibilities of senior members of our school society and, eventually, of the democratic society, in which we are soon to find ourselves. This process of growing up is so closely intertwined with the valuable and pleasant experiences we've shared as a class at Roosevelt. As juniors, true to tradition, we lacked direction of purpose, co-operation and sense of responsibility needed for success in our early undertakings. As seniors, though many of us divided time between jobs and school, we carried through class responsibilities with more purpose. The adults whose guidance helped us the most in these particular phases of growing up were our homeroom teachers and sponsors. Their willingness to go beyond the usual demands on the high school teacher are seldom realized by students. They receive no overtime pay for countless ninth and tenth hour committee meetings or evening dances they attended. From those first in- the-red Junior dances to the Alice-in-Wonderland Senior Prom, their effort and en- thusiasm never seemed to wane. If, as Mr. Webster says, a sponsor is one who binds himself to answer for another's default or who assumes responsibility for some other person or thing , we can look back apologetically and see the coimtless defaults and responsibilities our sponsors have shouldered for us: profitless dances, prom decorating, discouraged and idealless com- mittees, hairraising Spook House plans, and Commencement rehearsals. The accomplishment of becoming responsible citizens in a democracy is not learned altogether in books. In our class activities with our sponsors as outside-of-the-classroom teachers, many and valuable have been the lessons in citizenship we have learned. With a sincere and most thankful farewell, we salute our class sponsors. Our Class Sponsors Mr. George Bunnell, Miss Maud Jenkins, Miss Ilah Ostrum, Mr. Dennis Chase, Miss Hollis Powell, , Miss Margaret Barber. Mr. Harold Mohr,
