Miss Johnson's career at Wyandotte began iust after obtaining her master's degree from the University of Michigan. Her sincere love of teaching and interest in us, the students of Roosevelt, has made us con- sider her first and foremost as a friend. Acting in the capacity of a counselor she has given individual attention td the difficulties and problems of each student 'under her guid- ance. She has encouraged many students to go into highly successful careers. In her 35 years of teaching she has seen many of her once strug- gling algebra or geometry students go out into the world as a doctor, lawyer, executive, politi- cian, secretary, teacher, and many other fields. Miss Johnson shows her students the angles. We Miss Johnson's constant interest in students as individuals helped her institute her individ- ualized instruction in the geometry classroom. This system is designed to allow each student to work at his own speed and to develop according to his ability. ln this way the student who is having difficulty will have a better chance to get special help. Many after school hours have found Miss Johnson in her classroom helping students. Many students can remember the case of nervous iitters as they sat down to take a geom- etry exam, or the bewilderment they felt as they looked at the geometric figures in the book, but after 2 feverish semesters and Miss Johnson's understanding they passed on to the next years work. In dedicating this book to you, Miss Alice Johnson, we hope to express our gratitude and appreciation for the many years of understand- ing and interest you have given us. Dedicate Miss Preston's students always meant more to her than iust names in a' class book. Each member of the class was an individual with his own special abilities and needs. She was al- ways ready to give a helping hand in a particu- larly difficult translation. Her understanding ear was always turned to those students who, because of some legitimate reason, were not able to prepare their lessons. But those who were unprepared without good reason were promptly isolated in section 2 , a table in the back of the room, where they remained until their assigned work was done with satisfactory skill. For twenty-nine and one-half years Miss Preston has faithfully taught Wyandotte students not only Latin but French, English and German. Latin may be a dead language to others, but Miss Frances Preston made it come alive for her students. Vale, Miss Preston. The faculty and students will miss you. Miss Frances Preston Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circum- spice. For many Roosevelt freshmen this motto introduced both a new language and a most cordial and gracious teacher. Miss Frances Pres- ton with her warm and friendly personality soon made her new students forget they were iust scared freshmen. For many students this first day of Latin class was the beginning of a trail which would lead them into medicine, law or other profes- sional careers. Especially to these students Miss Preston always stressed the importance of the Latin language. But even in high school know- ledge of the language was a help. Those who had studied Latin were aided in their conquest of chemistry, physics and English. No Latin student will ever forget the Latin scrap book. Bleary-eyed sophomores were a common sight on that dead-line date as they trudged wearily to class, heavily laden with scrap books filled to overflowing with Roman articles, pictures and phrases. Miss Preston examines the Latin scrapbooks of third semester stu- dents. Superintendent P. J. Jenema Although P. J. Jenema has only been with the Wyandotte schools a short time he has accomplished much. Modern new school buildings now adorn Wyandotte's skyline. Of particular interest to Roosevelt students is the new addition under con- struction at the rear of this school. This will house the shops and music department. Always busy with important proiects he is never too hurried for a cheerful greeting to the students. Another admirable trait is his willingness to share with other administrators, teachers and students any honors that may come to the school. Individual laurels won by teachers or stud- ents always brings forth a friendly letter of appreciation from Wyandotte's school leader. He gains loyalty from his school family because he inspires loyalty. Board of Education - AClmil1iSIl'GtiOI1 Seated Cleft to rightD-Ray E. Mix, Miss Elizabeth A. Murray, Peter J. Jenema, Henry J.

Whitney is a man of few words. lt may seem to many that his favorite word is no . But he has not entirely thrown the word yes from his vocabulary and when teachers or students present ideas that seem to him to be worthy, a yes is forthcoming. Mr. Whitney has rather good perception and is quick to see the merits or evils of a proposition. He has the interest of the school very rnuch at heart and although he is not one to hand out much praise, one can always know how he stands with Mr. Whitney. He is pleasant, yet he can be firm, as those who fail to live up to the ideals of the school find out quickly, and often sorrowfully. Principal C. J. Whitney 6 I O Miss Dorothy Weber, Dean of Girls, has accomplished much during the short time she has been with us. Her position is a challenge which she has met very well. Other than answering the telephone, writing absentee excuses and talking to parents she has many problems to cope with. She can be firm when a student has made it necessary, and she is understanding when a girl has brought a problem to her. She enjoys her work, and is very interested in the activities of the students, as can be seen by her attendance at school plays, concerts, sports events, and dances. Her warm smile has made her many friends among teachers and students alike. Row l: Marge Cerovsky, Judy Lange.

Counselors Upon entering high school, one of the first people we meet is our counselor. From that day forward the counselor is always ready to advise or help in anyway possible. The counselor's chief iob is to help the student decide which of the three courses, college, commercial or general, is the right one for him. Another iob of the counselor's is to make out a schedule for the next semester so it will please you as much as possible. Last but not least, they are always willing to listen to any Five credits behind ? Row l: Mrs. Modesta Gamble, Keith Lance, Miss Mary Robinson.

Mr. Keith Lance, head of the counseling depart- ment, helps us find iobs and also helps us decide which college is best suited to our present and future needs. As seniors leaving Roosevelt we would like to thank each of you, Mr. Keith Lance, Mr. Maynard Alfstad, Mr. Romane Barnard, Miss Ethel Black, Mrs. Modesta Gamble Miss Alice Johnson, Mr. Lyle Lyon, Mr. Harold Mohr, and Miss Mary Robinson, for your wise and understand- ing guiclance. r What's on the docket for next semester?

Better drivers are in prospect for Wyandotte because of a state law which went into effect February 1 requiring teen agers lbelow 18 years of agel to take a course in driver training. Many amusing things occur as youthful boys and girls grab the wheel to practice what they learned in classroom instruction and learning to drive is an experience that will remain in the memories of Roosevelters. Drivers Training There is a serious side to the project, also, and by the time the student finishes classroom instruc- tion and has a few hours of actual driving in- struction, he will know that the most dangerous nut on the entire car is the one behind the wheel. He will also know that sane driving is one of the recipes tor a long and happy life. Roosevelters took their driving seriously and will never succumb to a desire for insane speed, solely for the sake of showing off. Biology is an elective subiect offered in The Tenth grade. lt consists of two parts, Biology I and Il. Some of the Things studied in The fall semester are insects fin which the student is required to make an insect collectionl, similarities and variety in living things, -seed plants, higher animals and how they live. The spring semester of Biology is The study of, preservation of man's health, behavior, reproduction and heredity, and conserva- tion. At this time the student makes a collection of twenty-five wild flowers. People taking this course have an opportunity to do various things such as microscopic studies, cultures, di-section of insects and frogs which makes it very interesting. Biology is taught by Miss llah Ostrum. Biology Hey look it moves! fr L, , , , ,.f , 6 ll ll V 42 , gg' , f ' 1 1:41 lf' Ugh ! lt's looking back at me with purple eyes! Go ahead, drop it-I dare you The mad scientists Chemistry is . . . a two-semester, ten credit course, a must for college course students, which according to the text, teaches the composition of substances and the changes that take place in them. This study is closely related to everyday living. Some of the topics found on this course's agenda are soap and bleaches, atomic energy, gasoline and oil, and photography. In the labor- atory members ot the class react chemicals Knot always as routine as it soundsl, make soap, etch glass, and develop their own negatives. There often is some excitement created by the person who forgets and tastens the Bunsen burner to the water spout instead of the gas let or the one who decides to find out it sulphuric acid THQ S041 really eats your skin away. The scientific definition of physics is the science that deals with matter and energy and the physical changes in matter-but to most students it just means hard work. Physics is a ten hour credit class in which the boys slightly out number the girls. Most of the students taking this class are on a college course. Physics consists of three lecture periods, which are 45 minutes long, and two laboratory periods, which are 90 minutes long, a week. The studies of physics I-deal with motion, mechanics of liquids and gases, atmosphere and weather, and force Cthat means I studied by forcel. Physics ll mostly deals with sound, light, and electricity. But, all in all, physics is really an enjoyable class, and the teachers that make it that way are Harold Mohr and Andy Watson. He put his finger in the socket and his head lit up! Who would like to help the ianitor wash floors tonight? The Social Science Department, headed by Harold Smith, offers a variety of interesting courses. Among them are world history, social science, geography, W.A.A.C. class, and world affairs. Every student, as is required by state law, must take two courses from this department. They are one year of American history and one semester of civics. These are background cours- es and help us to better understand the world in which we live. Social Studies Look at the map not the camera! X A very social social science class. English is required of all students through- out their high school career at Roosevelt. Grammar is taught to all, beginning with simple conjugation of verbs for sophomores and working up to the writing of term papers by seniors. Study of literature, both English and American, is not neglected. Three semesters are devoted to the reading of good books, separate stories and poems. History through Lit is a special course offered juniors. It combines English and American history and to bind the relationship of the two, a trip to Washington, D.C., is scheduled with students earning trip ex- penses via cooperative efforts. As seniors, much time is spent in the library writing that literary masterpiece re- ferred to as a term paper and serving as a doorstep to college. You don't scare rne! E n g I i s h Something of interest The morning after the night before! Art If you have inhabited or merely passed through room 340 unusual sights greeted you. You may have watched as wet masses of clay took form in a sculptured figure as experienced fingers created. You were intrigued at the first peek at copper enameled iewelry being heated in a kiln or became interested in artistic posters being readied for the Walker contest. an 5 Cutting out paper dolls, fellas? Watercolor, pastel, ink and pencil drawings, fashion designs, etc. bring out the artistic in the students. With the proms and other social affairs, each artist does his bit in turning out an enchanted and mystifying fairyland. Yes, here in the art department, under the guidance of Miss Marion Pulver, the creative geniuses of tomorrow are to be found. Q Silk screening is one of the many processes learned in art Glee Club Everybody sings at Roosevelt High. Or so it seems. Almost as soon as a student is enrolled he is pounc- ed upon Knot reallyj by Miss Eleanore Bennink or Kenneth Hansen and before he can catch his breath he is in one of the vocal musical organizations. There are several glee clubs in the school for both boys and girls and after days and days they learn to sing together with all the harmony of a barber shop quartet. They even learn to play on toy flutes as an aid to rhythm and other musical requirements. Hark the Herald Angels? Sing A huge music festival is given in the springtime at which time all this work in music classes shows results. There have been as many as lOOO voices all harmoniz- ing in this annual event, although with the reduction in enrollment due to the keeping of the ninth graders in the junior high schools this number will be reduced. As the great multitude of voices booms out in the finale of the music festival, Battle Hymn of the Re- public parents and friends are deeply impressed. Ps Glee Club But Mr. Labadie . . . Sir . . . l hear debating and discussion are the toughest courses in school. Really? Yup! They say you have to give speeches in assemblies and at clubs. You mean in front of people? Yup! Once a year they go to Hillsdale College for a mock U. N. assembly. That sounds like fun! Yup! They have to know about politics and world affairs. Politics? Yup! Their teacher, Mr. Rattray, a man with democratic ideas, teaches them parliamentary procedure. You mean, I call for the previous question, and all that stuff? Yup! At the beginning of the semester everyone had to give a speech about the life of someone in the class. Was anything censored? Yup! This year the debating class gave a speech program for teachers and parents. Was it good? Yup! One boy got carried away in a speech at that program and said his father didn't give him a chance to express his views on politics. Did anything happen? Yup! His dad was there, the boy can't get the family car for three weeks now. Boy, that sure sounds like a tough class. Are you going to take it next semester?

Gym is the one class during the day where a student can really let off steam. The class also helps to develop a sense of Team work and an attitude toward good sportsmanship. The boys have gym two days a week and participate in many dif- ferent types of sports. ln the fall they play touch football, run track and play some soccer. Inside they engage in such sports as basketball, volley- ball, and tumbling. The coming of spring brings the familar sight of them playing softball. Water polo is a favorite of boy's swimming classes when they dive into the pool three days a week. Relays and dodgeball are also on their list of most popular games. In the fall the girls also take advantage of the good weather and hold their classes outdoors. They enioy such sports as soccer, tennis, and golf. Indoors they participate in volleyball, badminton, basketball, and table tennis. The girls have a less rigorous program than the boys when it comes to water sports. They concentrate more on synchronized swimming and stunts for the water show. 23 Journalism With but one semester of iournalism Kmany high schools have two or more sernesterst the task of publishing such an outstanding newspap- er brings considerable Commendation upon all who work as members of its staff. Each semest- er a new staff must be formed and the honor of being editor is greatly sought after and is one of the top awards in the school.

Now's The Time for all good mem Koh darn iTJ Language The two foreign languages which are being offered in Roosevelt at present are, Latin 3 and 4, and Spanish 3 and 4. In Latin 3 the students are required to make a Latin scrapbook, and work in a group to design and put up a bulletin board. Latin 4 has many things in store for the pupil, such as, field trips, oral reports, spell downs and various others. Spanish, taught by Mrs. Jean Mikkelsen, also has many interesting activities. Other than the regular textbook, they use records, Spanish newspapers, and films. On the lighter side, there are songs, plays, and parties all done in Spanish of course. The main obiective of these courses is to promote a greater under- standing of foreign countries. Si ! And I Told her This is one way to chalk up brownie points . 26 What's this, a pam session? X I a lot of homework Y 2 a demanding teacher X+Y I a 'brilliant student QAt least that's how it's supposed to bel. Upon entering Wy High most every- one takes algebra and finding it not as hard as they thought it would be, They decide to study geometry in their sopho- more year. After just barely making it through geometry it is decided by the Who's a square? student that math is not his dish, but it is also decided by his counselor that Al- gebra lll is lust the thing. After many terrifying weeks-the student passes alge- bra, then comes solid geometry. Of course the student might as well go all the way so he takes Trigonometry. Be- tween the pythagorian theorem and cir- cumferences the student then graduates with the most confused mind in the class. Math For those who find working with their hands more interesting than academic study, Roosevelt offers four vocational shops-wood, metal, machine and auto. Many products of value have been fashioned in these work places. Christmas time finds all these shops humming with activity, an activity that provides beautiful gifts for fam- ily and friends. The gifts are valued because of their excellence and the fact that they were hand made with loving care. Work in the shops has led many a boy to follow his mechanical skill to a life's work of high pay and enioyment. No! That's not a sewing machine! i Industrial Arts Who invented these things, anyway? COfflf1S? Messy aren't we? R Knit one ioops! Wrong classl The graduate who has had any course in Home Arts has a basic foundation for home making after graduation, Sewing and cooking may be directly applied to keeping a house. The gal who takes cooking will never have to live on a meager diet of bacon and eggs. Dating and marriage are open topics for dis- cussion in Home and Family Living. This class probes into all phases of getting along with the family. When a girl completes Home Nursing she becomes almost another Florence Nightingale. She has learned how to cope with all sickness which might occur in her own family. H o m e A r t s Horrors! We have to eat our own cooking. What is their pulse rate and temperature? First Aid Quit laughing, it hurts! The gasping and groaning of the students in the next room may be chalked up to the fact that they are First Aiders practicing artificial respira- tion. This is only a small part of the study in- volved in the course which all students must take before graduation. The class studies the procedures to follow in simple accident cases, how to treat shock, and treatment for various types of poison. The highlight of the course comes when everyone practices bandaging. Anyone who walks into the class room at that time may mis- take the class for a collection of mummies. The cure is more painful than the injury. w 'ai ' is , rn Ouch!

Zi C o I o r Baby Blue and White Flower White and Blue Carnation Huge halls and running, pushing upperclassmen greeted our arrival to R. H. S. that fateful first day in 1953. Freshmen are always easy prey to the cut-rate prices of elevator passes and assembly seats the first day. We were no exception to the legend. Our class remained divided until we were iuniors. It was in our junior year that we organized and chose officers to lead the class in its activities and protects. The guiding light for that junior class was Ted Butkin who was elected to the chief-executive post. He was ably assisted by Nancy Downing who acted as Vice-President. Florence George kept track of all the committees and did all the letter writing in her iob of Secretary. Counting money and keeping track of all of the accounts was Treasurer Jewell Roller's iob. When the rings came we proudly announced to the world that we were officially iuniors. Although the 7 on the rings looked like question marks all were sure that the big day was not far off. The Christmas Cabaret Dance was the first undertaking of the new iunior class. Refreshments were an added feature to the dance. Everyone who helped to make Christmas cookies that night will remember the fun we all had. Girls as well as boys helped to stir dough that night .

It was through their hard work that the Home- coming Dance, Senior Play, Skip Day, the All Night Party and finally our Senior Prom became a reality. Next came the fun of dreaming up a way to make money to finance the All Night Party. Through careful work and planning, a car wash was organized. On that Sunday, girls as well as boys turned out to wash and polish all the dirty cars of Wyandotte. Although some of us were wetter than many of the cars, the day proved most successful. All of us piled into busses early that morning and we were off to Holly for the day. This was all legal because it was our Skip Day. Camp Tamarac was the scene of the fun and winter sports. Not long after that we heard the familiar strains of Pomp and Circum- stance. The big night had finally ar- rived! Beginning with the formal exer- cises at school the night continued with private parties and concluding with the big All Night Party at the Yacht Club. Still sleepy but happy graduates we returned to school once more for the Senior Prom. Decorated in dreamy blue and white clouds, the gym was a beauti- ful final memory of our high school days. Many thanks to our sponsors and officers who made this wonderful year possible for all of us. Top Three Beverly Maddox, Salutatorian, Janice Nellis, Valedictorianp Barbara Tabor, Third High. Salutatorian Beverly Maddox was second high in her class with an aver- age of 3.69. Studies were of great importance to her but she also found time to be an active student of R.H.S. Sports played an important part in Beverly's high school career. She was a member of G.A.A. for three years and won a trophy for her excellent bowl- ing. Bev was in on the ground floor in organizing the skating club. Besides her sports interests, she was active in Future Nurses, Tri Alpha, was Art Editor of the Annual, and was elected to N.H.S. Bev's plans for the future in- clude college in the fall. Valedictorian Leading the January class of 1957 across the stage to receive their diplomas was Janice Nellis. Her scholastic average for the four years was 3.714. Besides spending many hours studying, Janice found time to partake in many extra curricular activities. She was a member of the Future Teachers Club, Tri Alpha, and was selected for the National Honor Society. Drama- tics, Discussion, and Glee Club also played a part in her high school extra curricular activities. ln April Janice plans to enter Michigan State University. There she will follow in the footsteps of other members of her family by preparing herself for the teaching profession. She plans to teach home economics after col- lege. 34 Third High Third highest in the class of January 1957 was Barbara Ta- bor with an average of 3.611 for her high school record. Aside from her diligent study in school, Barb was also an ac- tive member of Jr. Y Teens, Sr. Y Teens, G.A.A., and A Cap- pella Choir. Because of her fine grades throughout high school it is not surprising that she was a member of Tri Alpha. Her fine work was recognized also in the fact that she was elected to Na- tional Honor Society. Barb was on a commercial course and was very interested in the Commer- cial Club' of which she was a member. After graduation Barbara will take her place in the business world.

But glancing back in the calen- dar of events during those years it really has been a long time between the trembling fresh- men and the confident young men and women ready to take their places as the future leaders in our society. September 1953 The freshmen were separated into home- rooms, issued lockers and schedules amid con- fusion, then settled down to their first year at R.H.S. May 1954 To acquaint all the freshmen, a mixer dance, The Spring Fling, was held. It turned out to be a great success. September 1955 All the homerooms were assembled in the auditorium and we iuniors began our activities as a class. December 1955 The iunior class held their first dance Christmas Cabaret which turned out to be quite unique with ring side tables, refreshments and a floorshow. Class Motto April 1956 Jenny Kissed Me was our big chance to show what the class of '57 could do in the way of a play. May 1956 To the theme of pirates, mermaids and sea- gulls, lighthearted couples danced until midnight at the long awaited J-Hop, Pirates Ahoy! October 1956 With Fordson as our rivals, the senior class made ready for the annual homecoming week- end with Hoedown Day, the big dance and the crowning of a queen. November 1956 The seniors really excelled this time with their interpretation of The Heiress, a dramatic production straight from Broadway. January 1957 At last the dreamiest night of all had ar- rived, the subiect of whispers for weeks, Star- lite in Blue, a senior prom straight from heaven with beautiful girls, angel hair and twinkling lights to enchant all during the evening. June 1957 Looking back over these four wonderful years, we finally return to the present and look forward to the future as we step up in line to receive our diploma, graduation day has come. C O I O r White and pale green F lo w e I, White Rose June Sponsors and Officers Sponsorsand officers of the June graduating class are Hardwicke Csponsorj, Roger Simpson president George shown above in serious mood as they look forward to Bunnell, Csponsorj. Standing are Bernard LaBeau treas graduation Seated from left to right are Mrs. Bernice urer, David Sidebottom, vice president and Annabelle Baisley, secretary. The June graduating class will always remember six teachers who, through their unselfish and loyal service to our class, have inspired Us with the true spirit of citizenship that is so necessary for the making of the future leaders of our country. These special people are George Bunnell, Mrs. Bernice Hardwicke, Miss Pansy Blake, Reed Rowan, Leon Hill and Charles Lacy, our class sponsors, who, through their constant and careful attentions, have helped us to achieve our goals. The images of Mr. Bunnell reading the bulletin and the assuring presence of Mrs. Hardwicke making cookies for the dance or stapling crepe paper for our Senior Prom will long be remembered. Also responsible for a successful year were four student representa- tives of the Senior Class, our class officers. Roger Simpson, President, David Sidebottom, Vice-President, Anna- belle Baisley, Secretary, and Bernard LeBeau, Treasurer, made up this group. They led our class to new heights in earning money for our Senior Annual, Skip Day and that long awaited All Night Party. Because of the splendid co-operation of our sponsors and officers on every proiect that we have undertaken this past year, our class will long be remembered at R.H.S. as one of the most successful. 41 T Th Valedictorian op ree Joan Carte will follow closely behind Rosemary as the diplomas are handed out. Maintaining a 3.91 average gained Joan entrance into Tri Alpha and led to her election to National Honor Society. Not all of Joan's time was spent studying for she was engaged in many extra-curricular activities. As a member of chorus she was awarded her letter. This year she has continued with her music and is singing with the Choir. Her fine work in debating was rewarded with a pin. During her sophomore year Joan became a member of two of Wy Hi's other clubs, Jr. Y Teens and Commercial Club. By participating in the Co-op office training program Joan is gaining valuable practical experience for a iob after graduation. She is on a secretarial course and has been preparing to take her place in the business world when she completes her high school training. Third High Nancy Bruce has the honor of graduating third highest in her class. She was on a college course throughout high school and managed to keep a 3.897 average. Nancy also was a member of Tri Alpha every semester during high school and was elected to National Honor Society. Her leadership ability was well dis- played in the fact that she ran and was elected to the office of Vice-President of the R.S.U. There she also earned her pin. Music has been a part of Nancy's high school life for she belonged to both band and or- chestra, and in both received her letter and gold pin. 42 Valedictorian Rosemary Papp will have the distinction of being the first member of the June graduating class to receive her diploma on June 13. With her 3.964 average throughout her high school career it is no wonder that she was a constant member of Tri Alpha and was elected to National Honor Society. Rosemary is not only talented in her scholastic ability but she also has a knack for the arts, both music and art work of all types. She has won her letter in Choir and has been the recipient of a scho- lastic key for her work in art. Her efforts and interests in science were also highly rewarded as she received the Bausch and Lomb Science Award. At home, Rosemary and her family raise dogs. Her collies have won many prizes in dog shows around the country. Rosemary's plans for the future include a college career which she has been busy preparing for in her four years of high school. Salutatorian The band bestowed the special honor of naming her Band Sweetheart last fall at one of the football games. She was chosen to participate in the W.A.A.C. Class this year and has provided leadership to the group in many things. Serving as councilman for Roosevelt, Nancy took part in Student Government Day. Finally, athletics rounded out Nancy's interests. As a member of G.A.A. she acted as a man- ager for sports and won her pin in the organization. Wu ffdwwf ,---i Dear Students and Teachers: I will never forget that certain day in May, when the mailman dropped two important looking letters in my mail-box telling that I am to spend my next school year in Wyandotte, Michigan. I knew about Michigan, but Wyandotte, where is it? What is it like? Perhaps a town like the towns in American movies, with skyscrapers and subways. That would be fun, but will it be like that. These were thoughts that came to me. Then I enrolled at the school! What a change from my old one! The first teacher I met surprised me by saying in friendly manner, Hi! What could I answer him. Certainly not Hil In Finland you would never greet a teacher in that manner. It comes naturally to me now and I expect it will be hard, when I return home, to once more say, Good afternoon, teacher, how do you do? You and I have had loads of fun trying to understand each other. It was so difficult at first, but now I am more accustomed to American ways. Do you have dates in your country? How do you like American food? What are your homes Iike? How about your schools? Questions like these were frequent. To you Finnish is a queer language although I am making headway with two promising students. I have learned many things at Roosevelt - history, literature and government - and I have learned to ski! The things I have learned have been so exciting to me that I want to tell the Finnish people of my experiences. I want to tell of the nice people I met and of the friendliness I found in your school, which for a year was also my school. I hope that I have made you more interested in Finland so that it is more than iust a spot on the map. A year is not a long time, but this one year has been an exciting one. I want to thank all of you for making it a joyful one. It is a year I will never forget. Eeva Lehtonen 43 Alexander, Eunice Allen, Beverly A, Spotlights Armatls, Delphine T.

Glee Club Organized confusion! 58 Death dealt a sudden blow in the form of an automobile accident when it snatched Joseph Kowalski away from his family and friends. He was a well liked boy because of his good nature and fun loving personality. Joe was greatly interested in swimming and was a mem- ber of the Varsity team. His passing was a great loss to his teammates, for he was not only a fine athlete but also a respected team member. Joe is especially remembered every year at the time the awards for athletics are given out. The swimming team, at the time of his death, donated a trophy to the school bear- ing the name of Joe Kowalski Trophy . Every year this award is given to the most valuable swimmer on the team for the past season. This trophy was donated by the team not because Joe died a hero but simply because they wanted to establish a memorial that would be a part of Roosevelt. In the classroom and in the halls Joe always wore a smile and was a pleasant student to meet and talk with. His friends at Roosevelt have missed him and now pay tribute to his memory. In Memoriam The June graduates of T957 will be missing one face from their ranks when they cross the platform to receive their di- plomas. James Dorton traveled through high school only as far as his iunior year when he fell victim to heart disease. Hampered by a severe heart condition most of his life, Jim turned to art as his main interest in high school. He liked art and according to Miss Marion Pulver was a talented boy. His drawings and paintings were unusual and his sub- ject matter was out of the ordinary. Because of his ability to create unusual scenes, he was rewarded many times by the honor of receiving the Scholastic gold key. The compe- tition for this award includes entries from students all over the Metropolitan Detroit Area. Jim was also an avid record fan. He collected records of all kinds but he was especially fond of Glenn Miller. His art work was carried over into his love of music for he en- joyed -sketching to music. The absence of Jim's friendly smile and subtle humor has been felt throughout the group this year. The class of T957 pays tribute to the memory of the cheerful classmate that they have lost. 59 Cian Well Shaped! 3 of a kind. U . p IO a Tree!

Under the leadership of the two Junior presidents, Howard Renfer Uanuary Classl and Richard Sigler Uune Classl, the Juniors have organized into committees and made a success of several projects this year. The biggest event for every class is the prom which they sponsor. This year for the first time the J Hop was held at Lincoln Junior High School. Another money maker was the Junior Play Divine Flora. This was completely in the hands of the students under the direction of Charles Burkett.

Twenty years from June 1957 you may pick up this annual and thumb through it. No doubt it will bring back memories of the friends you knew and of the classes and activities that you took part in. When you turn to the page with the R.S.U. pictures on it, you may find that there are quite a few things that you still recall about the Roosevelt Student Union. Some of the details might be hazy in your mind, so here are some facts to refresh your memory. The R.S.U. celebrated its tenth anniversary in January of 1957. Its representatives are elected at the beginning of each semester by the English classes. Since everyone has an English class everyone is represented. The five officers are also elected semi- annually, and are chosen through a vote of the entire student body. O 0 O These finer points might possibly elude your memory in 1977. ln the year that began in September 1956 the R.S.U. obtained a valedictorian's plaque, issued Student Code books, sent buses to away foot- ball games, visited the maintenance department to see about plaster, heat, water and a great many other problems. These problems were worked on for your benefit, and it stands to reason that it is actually your R.S.U. So in '77 when you're refreshing your memory, remember one thing, you can always be proud of your R.S.U. ational Honor Society I' Row i: Joan Carte, Betsy Sparrow, Rosemary Papp, Judy Skimin, Sylvia Vranich, Sandra Yotti, Nancy Bruce, Annabelle Baisley, Miss Alice Johnson.

Stage Crew The future John Barrymores and Helen Hayes may be found among the ranks of the Thespian Troupe 50 at R.H.S. The group is made up of the students who have done outstanding work in the dramatics field. A week's initia- tion is required for all new members. At that time the old Thespians may impose all kinds of tortures on the prospective member. Girls may have to go without make up during this period while others have to learn various speeches and Thespians famous dramatic scenes. At the end of this week a very secret and impressive formal initiation is held for all those who have successfully completed their require- ments. Stage Crew is responsible for all the sets and scenery used in putting on the plays during the year. They are always busy with some sort of work in the dramatics workshop under the able guidance of C. B. lCharles Burkettl.

The goal for every high school journalist is to make Quill and Scroll. To be chosen for membership in this national iournalistic society is a reward that only a small number of students can obtain. First, one must be in the top third of his class to be considered for membership. It is also required that he be a sen- ior and have sufficient number of points before being recommended by the iournalism director. This point total varies with different schools. In Wyandotte a person must have obtained at least 300 points and have been a student in journalism class. Roosevelt High School has had a Quill and Scroll charter for nearly 20 years and several members have continued the study of iournalism in college or obtained practical experience on some newspaper. lntensely proud is the high school graduate of his Quill and Scroll pin as he goes on to some institution of higher learning.

The more than 50 members meet every Thursday under the direction of Miss Renata Hantel and Miss Marilyn Brunner. The officers of the club play an important role in the functions of the group. They take care of all the program planning and money making interests of the Club. Learning about the outside business world is one of the club's main interests.

The Future Nurses and Future Teachers Clubs have the same basic goal before them. That is to acquaint students with the opportunities of a profession in either of these fields. The Future Nurses are engaged in a volunteer project at the Wyandotte General Hospital. There they give three hours one night a week after school in helping the nurses aides care for the patients. This project gives the students a chance to really get a little taste of the profes- sion. Counseling school children is a good test of patience and love of children. Through this program the Future Teachers spend one week at camp as counselors with an elementary group of children during the school year. Miss llah Ostrum is the sponsor the F. N.

Ski Club It has been the aim of the Ski Club to go each year to Boyne Mountain for a week of con- t- - it. -.BQ servation study, skiing, and learning to get along with other students. In order to do this, the members have been working since last fall on earning money for this venture. With the cooperation of other members of this school, we have succeeded in raising the needed money. We left Sunday morning, March 3, on our excursion to Boyne. During our stay there our activities included such things as skiing instruc- tions in the morning with skiing practice in the afternoon. But our activities were not limited to skiing. We also visited the tannery, fish hatch- ery, and took field trips conducted by the con- servation men. Sleigh rides and ice fishing also were part of our week at Boyne. Our trip ended on Friday night. We arrived Off To The ski Slopes. back in Wyandotte Saturday morning with pleas- ant memories and aching bones. 74 Row lr Bettie Wilson, Barbara Mohr, Maggie Pischke, Barbara Gantz, Geraldine Billett, Betsy Sparrow.

Theodore Roosevelt High School was the first high school in the United States to undertake a student high school - community relations ex- change program such as the world As A Com- munity Class. The original idea, one of a Massa- chusetts school teacher, Eldon Mason and under the sponsorship of the late Carl S. Hardwicke, an English-drama teacher at Roosevelt, the class was established in i944 with the cooperation of the Junior Red Cross of Detroit. The purpose of this program is to make an awareness of civic duty, all peoples of the world, religions, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds, by studying one's own community and exchange community through their history, industry, geo- graphy, social services and government. Montreal High School, Montreal, Canada, took part in the first exchange. Eleven such ex- changes have followed with Boulder, Colorado, being the twelfth this spring. Every year 24 seniors U2 boys and 12 girlsl are selected to take part in this program on the basis of their scholastic achievement, leadership abilities, and general attitude and represent a cross section of our community economically and socially.

The Choir which is under the direction of Miss Eleanore Bennink is 60 voices strong and is divided into eight parts, first and second soprano, first and second alto, baritone and bass, and first and second tenor. All Choir members are seniors, selected from the chorus. Tryouts consist of singing My Country Tis of Thee in pitch and also carrying your part in any number Miss Bennink selects. Another determining factor in the selection is the cooperation a student has shown in his former music classes. Activities in Choir include singing at different clubs in the community, such as Kiwanis, Rotary and Exchange. Traditional appearances of Choir are their Choir Concert in January, the May Festival, and singing at the Baccalaureate ex- ercises. Also traditional with the Choir is caroling in the halls of RHS on the day before Christmas vacation.

'57, According to Miss Bennink this is the first time in the history of the Choir that so many have left at one time. Affiliated with the Choir are the Girls Ensemble and Tune Toppers. Both groups consist of Choir members and have an indefinite number of members. Participants are chosen largely on the basis of blend.

The class receiving second highest honors in the vocal music department is the .Wy-Hi Chorus made up of 150 members this semester It is i Chorus that male and female voices are blended for the first time. Qualifications for Chorus are quite simple A student must have had four semesters of vocal music, they must be iuniors, and have shown their ability to get along with others. One of the purposes of Chorus is to introduce the students to singing in a mixed group Much time is also spent on studying good singing tech niques. Learning to sing parts and eight part harmony are followed by learning the more dif ficult music from broadway plays and operas Annual appearances of the Chorus are made in the May Festival, and with the Choir at gradu ation.

Today G.A.A. is one of the most liked school activities in which girls engage. There are many different sports in which girls can participate. They are bowling, tennis, basketball, badminton, golf, softball, volleyball, and three classes of swimming. Each of these sports gives a total of 45 points. In the fall there are volleyball, basketball, and swimming, the latter includes advanced, intermediate, and beginning swimming. When spring arrives, the girls get out the rackets, birdies, and the golf clubs. This is a sign of plenty of fun ahead. When a girl ioins G.A.A. and has entered into a sport she gets 45 points a sport. A bronze pin is awarded to those girls who have earned 175 points. The next step up is 400 points. Numerals are awarded to each girl who has acquired 400 points. At 600 points a girl receives a letter and The girls are as proud of their letters as are Varsity players. A beautiful silver expansion braclet is awarded to the girls who have earned 1,000 points. A trophy is awarded to the most outstanding girl of G.A.A.

Although Coach Dick Hoffheins had a fair- ly green team this year, his boys pulled through with flying colors, placing third in the Border Cities League. Opening the season against a strong Pontiac team, the Golden Bears bowed 33-7. Entering B.C.L. competition after a two-week lay off the Bears met the high flying Highland Park Polar Bears. Pulling an upset, the Bears trounced the Polar Bears I9-7. The following week the Acorns of Royal Oak invaded Roosevelt and went home with another defeat under their belts bowing 19-6. Playing on a Saturday afternoon, the Bears traveled to Grosse Pointe and lost their first B.C.L. game 19-6. The Monroe Trojans were the next victims on the Bears' list. Wanting revenge the Bears took it out on the Troians, winning 19-13. Lincoln Park, who beat Wyandotte last year 7-6, was snowed un- der by the Bears in the mud drenched field by a score of T9-6. Fordson, last year's champions, invaded Wyandotte to defend their crown. Although the Bears held them to only 6 points in the first half, the Tractors came storming back to dump the Bears 26-O and walk away with their second B.C.L. crown. Twelve seniors were playing their last game against Trenton and played their heart out, trouncing them 28-O. Trenton, in the three years they have played the Golden Bears, has not scored a single point. OOIZBAU I am too weak To vvesfle!

The cagers finished with an 11-8 record including tournament competi- tion. The Bears after winning only two B.C.L. games last year won four this year and ended up in third place, upsetting Fordson, Grosse Pointe, and Monroe twice. Starting the season off at a fast pace, the Bears faded for a bit but came to life due to the drive of the coaching staff and the determination of the boys themselves. The boys had a four game winning streak but lost the next game. Continuing the drive into the tournaments the cagers were favored to take the regionals but were defeated in the final game by Jackson, 65 to 53.

Under the tutelage of Coach Jim Castleman, the Reserve cagers had difficulty getting a win- ning combination during the first half of the season and won but three of the first eight games. At the halffway mark a spark of basketitis struck the Cubs and they started a winning streak that saw them take five of the remaining eight games for a .500 average, Not only did the team show good shooting ability, but its passing game gave high hopes for a winning Varsity next season. For the entire season the Reserves outscored their opponents by a narrow margin, 729 to 7l7. Highest score for any one game was 62 points which was seven points under high game totals for the two preceding years.

With eight returning lettermen the season looks great. All of the infield is returning with two pitch- ers back to try their skill again. But as Hoffheins says, even the veterans will have to work to keep the position they held last year. Playing a very tough schedule last spring the diamond nine could only scrape together three wins. This year Coach Hoffhens wants to greatly boost that figure.

A great number are expected to tryout for the team and he will have his pick of the boys he feels will fill the bill. He is hoping a large crew of under- classmen will turn out so the process of rebuilding will not be as great a task as it was a few years ago. Although playing in one of the toughest leagues in the state Hoffheins thinks his boys are the great- est and will do their best to win every ball game and to keep the name of Roosevelt respected by their opponents.

Coach Gilbert Hoffman is in the process of rebuild- ing his tennis team. With only one returning letterman this year, the future for the year's tennis team does not look too bright. The sophomores and juniors will be taking over the team this year. Although not expecting a championship squad, Hoffman will expect a B.C.L. crown in a few years, He expects his netters to make up their inex- perience in hustle and drive. Their goal will be to try and out think their opponents. lf the boys do not have a winning season we can say they at least put up a valiant fight against strong and more experienced players.

The track team has been rebuilding for the past few years and it will be this year or next when that cham- pionship comes back to Wyandotte.

Cross Country Running in a triangular meet against Farm- ington and Trenton, the Bear Harriers continued their winning streak by beating their opponents with the score of 27-44-61. Farmington finished behind the Bears and Trenton was last. The next meet with Pontiac brought two unbeaten Cross Country teams together. Pontiac had not lost a meet in 6V2 years but Roosevelt walked away with a victory and broke the string which Pontiac had. The score was 25 to 34. The Acorns of Royal Oak opposed the Bears next but went home defeated 24-34. Monroe, out to break Wyandotte's string also failed, T8-43. Finishing against another unbeaten team the Bears ran against Dearborn. Somebody had to be the loser and Dearborn was it by the score of 27-28. Troph Winners The Pinson Trophy for most valuable player went to Frank Jaciuk. Frank, playing his first year at end, caught 18 passes for 279 yards, scored four touch- downs, ran the ball six times for 70 yards for a 11.6 average per carry. He was responsible for intercepting two passes and returned three punts for 18 yards. Frank was also co-captain and was named All League end, All-Subur- ban end and gained All State honorable Trophy Winners Frank Jaciuk, Ron Gulyas, and Dan Galeski. mention. The Speer Trophy for most valuable backfield man went to Ron Gulyas. Ron had a punting average of 30 yards per punt. He ran the ball 84 times for 481 yards for a 5.7 average. On kickoff re- turns Ron ran six returns for 116 yards for a 19 yard average and also caught two passes for 16 yards. He scored three touchdowns during the season. The Coaches Award for the most im- proved player was won this year by Dan Galeski. Making All-League fullback and getting All State honorable mention during his first year in varsity football is quite an accomplishment. Dan ran the ball 121 times for 616 yards which is good for a 5.0 yards per carry. Dan also scored six touchdowns. Simpson Roger Simpson's cross-country career began in September, Roger Simpson 1955, when he went out for the sport to get in shape for bas- ketball that winter. This getting in shape period proved to be quite successful because Rog found out, with the coaches' help, and practice, he was a pretty good runner, and his team- mates elected him their captain. ln his first meet, much to his amazement, he came in second. To complete his first season, out of nine meets, he was defeated only twice, took a second place in the Regional Meet and thirteenth in the State. This past season Roger was again elected captain of the team. He really put the polish on his high school career by being undefeated, as was the team, and continually broke course records on away courses as well as here at home. One of the most outstanding of his accomplishments was when he took first place at the High School Invitational Meet held at Albion College. To round out the season Rog took a first place in the Regional Meet and seventh place in the State Meet. With this fine record Roger will long be remembered in the halls of Roosevelt. 102 .im -4 W 4-quam, 9 4 151251.99 in Senior Lettermen Charles Mc Grafh Tom Mehlhose DOUQ Nowland Rowing Swimming Foofball Rowing Caesar Pizzo Dave Rieger Bill Rose Football Cross Country Football Swimming Basketball Track Roger Simpson Dick Smith Jerry Thompsen Baskefball Basketball Football Cross Country F00fb3ll Track Floyd Wells T,-ack Frank Wesf Paul Williams Fogfball Football Basketball 105 Senior Lettermen Dave Boddy Bill Burkett Track Rowing Bill Decker Swimming Harvey DeLarme David Duncan Football Swimming Frank Jaciuk Bob Jankowski Football Football Basketball Baseball Ronald Gulyas ,slam :Z -: me Qfhml ,f 4 4: Football Basketball V'X'i JS? ft?'l '2'fY72ffF75MQf' f l, ' 3 F? igwf '- if 'L - -- - a X ,... .,., B .,,, , , Bernard La Beau Track David Lewis Frank Matuszewski Swimming Football Rowing Basketball Jim McConnell Tennis ,4 sv .15 1, x 3- YQ. x f sf if Aj Af X K. is ,, sM Starlite in Blue Glamor vied with loy as The Seniors danced in rhythm To the tunes given out by that O so sweet band. 108 Putting final touches on the decorations.

In front: Fred Roos. November 20, is a day which will go down as a day of remarkable change in Wyandotte's history. A group of teen-agers selected by the student body of Roosevelt High School overthrew the government and set themselves up as gov- ernment officials. This was all very legal since it was the annual student government day. This group led by Bud Spangler, mayor, took over the city and tried their hand at setting up laws. For twenty-four work filled hours the regime held up, while the students were learning the problems of running a city of Wyandotte's size. After the day was over, the students con- ferred and decided that running the government wasn't as easy as they had thought it might be, so they called the previous government officials back, thanked them for the chance to try their hand at government work, and set out for home.
