ROOSEVELT 1935 1 ll Miss Joyce, Mr. Muth, Miss Gust 'ou, Miss Berg. S t1l'1 Administration-my goodness, 1 big word! Perhaps it can be explained by saying that to administer means tc - 1 ge. Are you conscious of being mau- aged? Probably you are all too consciou f it on some occasions, and not so conscious on others. Administration h. - two ompanions-organization and super- vision. These three friends usually a :ear on the scene in the following order: ,' ministration Supervision rg ni tion Supervision. which mea s i inspect or look over and often to overlook, is so closely related to administra on that they may be confused. In Roosevelt, as in other schools, the management of the school centers in the principal's oflice where it is the job of the principal to organize. manage, and check up from time to time. Naturally. the principal cannot be expected to handle the job alone. so he assigns certain duties and responsibilities to the assistant principal. clerks, heads of departments, classroom teachers, nurse, librarian, engi- neer, janitors, student oiiicers and individual students. Every individual has a definite part to play in the plan of administration. NV hen you. as a student, obey a rule or perform an assigned task, however small, you are helping to make things run smoothly. In other words, administration is a large word used to describe an important job that is made up of a great number of little things that all of us can do.

English and Foreign Language Departments English is required of all pupils at Roosevelt. This subject will probably not be lacking in interest or emphasis so long as thoughts are transferred and wants supplied through languageg and today, more than ever, offers teachers of all subjects a unique opportunity to co-operate. Subject material presented in English today includes work in reading and literature, oral and written composition, and spelling. Emphasis is placed upon reading as a thought-getting processg literature units, varied and graded, are grouped around ideas which tend to give pupils contacts with all types of human exper- ience, supplementary reading at home and school, preferably of pupils' own choos- ing, aids in developing knowledge, appreciation, and enjoyment of good literature and power to use leisure time with protitg oral reading and work in oral composi- tion offer practice in more effective speech, increasingly more important as evi- denced on radio and screen, the program in written composition attempts to adapt itself to varying abilities of pupils and to their personal, social, and local needsg functional grammar units are given in the B sections of each grade, as drill in the mechanical elements of correct grammar is the essential obligation of the English department. Spelling in all classes, new lists each semester, aims to bring about not only a complete mastery of the given lists, but to develop a spelling conscience and a technique for word study as well. The foreign language department with a first-semester enrollment of 18-l and a second-semester enrollment of 222, offered French and Latin to ninth-year pupils and general language to eighth-year pupils. During the coming school year Spanish and German will be offered to ninth-year students. It is hoped that so many pupils will elect foreign language study that the number of teachers in the department will need to be increased. U21 ROOSEVELT 1935
