HistCrg Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School opened its doors to students for the flrst time on September 2, 1924. At that time 1023 students enrolled, 502 boys and 521 girls.

Nine elementary schools tBarhour, Blake, Church, Ellis, Franklin, Garrison, Kent, Montague, VValkeQ contribute to the enrollment, together with scattered entries from rural districts and from private and parochial schools. Increase in numbers might be taken as evidence of the attractiveness of the junior high school program, but detailed studies will be available for the next Yearbook. To meet the needs of a growing school, it has been necessary to organize many activities appropriate to junior high school students. Horne room organizatiOns and student service organizations elsewhere enumerated and described were put into operation the first semester of 1924-25. The second semester marked the ad- vent of special interest clubs, together with the weekly publication of nTeddy's News? The llOrange and Blue? handbook of school information, appeared on September 1, 1925; and work for the present Yearbook has featured the second semester of this year. Interscholastic and intramural athletic activities have played their part in building up the spirit and life of the school. The curriculum of the school has had like attention. Organization of depart- ments aided the analysis of subject matter appropriate to age, grade, and ability of students. Auditorium exercises were introduced into the seventh grade program last fall. The machine-shop was equipped during the summer of 1925 and offered to ninth grade boys in September. . The faculty as a whole has been making an investigation of study habits and student accounting. Building a school program of curricular and extra-curricular activities has been, and will continue to be, a pioneering project, filled with living experiences for all engaged in the task. Page seven
