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!

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
