Mm. R A m L VA E... THE YEARBOOK Published by The Yearbook Clubs THEODORE ROOSEVELT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ROCKFORD. ILLINOIS I936 FOREWORD This year for the first time Rockford has a symphony orchestra of its own, composed of sixty competent musicians and led by Professor Andreas Fugmann of Rockford College. The contribution of such a group to the cultural life of the city will be immeasurable this year and for years to come. How very like the work of such a group as a symphony orchestra is school life to those at Roosevelt. There each one is given many oppor- tunities to learn how to work and play well under competent leadership; to co-operate with others; each one is encouraged to do well the part he has chosen for himself or for which he has been chosen because of his special abilities; he discovers that while work varies and moods change, the total effect is not what it is planned unless he does his part; and he discovers that while he hsa been working for group good, he has made much personal improvement, found harmony more delightful than discord, learned to ap- preciate beauty instead of ugliness, and began to practice a technique such that some day his work will be so outstanding that he will have to rise and play alone. There is much music in life; and it is in school that one learns how to appreciate it and produce it. 1. . , $7;2'47 MY X I , . , w , . BOOKS l. DIRECTORS 'll. PROGRAM A. Andante B. Romanza C.

Each year that the Yearbook has been published, Mr. Annis has given liberally and ungrudgingly of his time and talent in the supervision of the snapshot pages which have contributed so greatly to the general attractiveness and alive- ness of the book. DIRECTORS ROOSEVELT 1936 MR. CHARLES W. ROE, President Rockford Board of Education llln the ever onward march of time, history records the progress of nations and races in terms of contributions. The nation and its people who stand out as shining examples for future generations to admire and follow are those who have made some great contribution to society, thus enabling others to enjoy a richer and fuller life. l'lf we were to attempt to give each nation and all people clue credlt for the contribution which they have made to society, undoubtedly we would find that nearly every age has made advancement in the art of music. I like to think of music as being a gift or an inheritance passed on to each genera- tion with the expectation that each new age will benefit by the labors of those who have put their lives into this great art, and each generation if they are to keep faith with their fellow men, must hand down to their chil- dren something better than they have received. Hln Rockford, in America, and I believe throughout the world a new em- phasis is being placed on music. Our spiritual, educational, and civic leaders recognize that a strong moral structure of citizenship cannot be built to withstand temptation and discouragement unless our people have a better understanding and appreciation of the better things of life. eCharles W. Roe. MR. W. W. ANKENBRAND, Superintendent Ph. D., New York University It is a genuine pleasure to congratulate the students of Roosevelt Junior High School on the successful completion of another year's work. I have watched you at your work and play, the records of which are in this book. Like the players in a great symphony each student has played his part. You have helped create an impression that has pleased all of those who have watched you during the school year. HContinue the fine work started this year. Reveal the best that is in you to your friends and associates. So many students shrink from revealing their best selves. Many conceal the fact that they care for a symphony or a sonata, and would not reveal that they get a greater thrill from a Chopin prelude than from such music as uThe Music Goes Round and Round . How often have we hidden from classmates the love of good books for fear of ridicule. Be true to yourself each day, and life will be more like a symphony because of the truth you have lived. aw. W. Ankenbrand. ROOSEVELT 1936 muiZ-JUDo MR. H. C. MUTH, Principal M. A., University of Chicago llOne of the unfortunate things about a large school community is that we have many acquaintances and a few friends. To a certain degree our Yearbook corrects that situation by bringing us all together. HIt is my earnest desire that this 1936 Yearbook will become one of your most treasured possessions. --H. C. Mutl'l. i: J Many of the most important services of the school are rendered directly or indi- rectly by the school office, where Mr. Muth, Principal of Roosevelt since it was Opened in 1924, Miss Joyce. Assistant Principal, and Miss Berg and Miss Gustaf- son, the two clerks who have charge of the office work. keep busy from eight in the morning until five at night. On Saturday the school office closes at twelve noon. A school office is really the center of things in the school organization. Here the general management, policies. and plans are outlined, and under the guidance of the principal are carried forward. The principal has Charge of the supervision of instruction in all departments; in music and art, he is assisted by the two special supervisors; in other departments, he is aided by department heads. Miss Joyce, assistant principal, has charge of discipline cases, truancy, and attendance, and works I,yitss Berg; Mr. Muth, Uh'incilmh; Miss Joyce, tAssistzlnt Pl'im-iszD; Miss Gustnfsun. OUR SCHOOL OFFICE very closely with Mrs. Atchinson, the at- tendance office- and Miss Hanstrom, the school nurse. She also has charge of one study hall and sponsors the Student Coun- cil. On Miss Berg and Miss Gustafson fall 2111 the hundreds of detail tasks that must be continually taken care of to insure the school life moving on smoothly. There are locker permits, bicycle permits, lost books, found hooks, program arrangements and changes. school accounts, and in addition to all that, the clerical work of a busy office to be done. Each one of the workers in the school otitice at Roosevelt has an important phase of the school life to care for, and it is he- canse each one as an individual and as a member of this group works so efficiently that Roosevelt pupils and teachers are able to work so well and so easily.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE In ancient Rome the proudest boast was Romanus sum which is translated, n1 am a Roman citizen? In ancient Rome, how- ever, the privileges of a citizen of the E111- pire were very few in comparison with those which we as citizens of our country enjoy today. Too often, it would seem, we think of our blessings and privileges and forget that we have duties and re- sponsibilities to render in return. All school work should aim toward a better fulhllnlent of these duties and re- sponsibilities. The work in the Social Science Department is of such a nature. In social science, geography teaches us about the lands and life of our fellow Americans who live in South America. This study should make it easier for us tO understand the problems that may arise in our relations with these people. A study of the history of our own country should and does help us to understand better what the ideals of America are, and how our forefathers struggled to obtain these privileges we enjoy. Such study also makes us more conscious of our duty to maintain these blessings. Problems are constantly arising today just as they did in the past, and we need to prepare our- selves so that we shall be able to solve better than before the many difficult prob- lems that are almost sure to arise. Com- munity civics gives us information about the problems and work that confronts us as citizens of the city, state, and nation. In civics, too, we learn how to mark ballots and discover what the qualifications which the candidates for public offices should have. In social science vocations are studied, and each pupil tries to select the one vocation which he will follow when he leaves the school life for the community life. Social science in an age like ours and a country like ours is a most important subject.

DEPARTM ENTS OF E Strands in reading, literature, oral and written composition, instrumental gram- mar. and spelling are presented to junior high school pupils enrolled in English Classes. Experiences in silent readingr give practice with study materials. with locating, collecting, and stunmarizing helpful facts, with supplementary reading and recreational reading. This year a few Classes have done work which has enabled them to find out very interesting facts about their own reading rates. compre- hension and memory scores, and they have made much progress as a result. Litera- ture, where more oral work is done, uses selections of many types and corresponds with the present and possible future in- terests 0f the class. For oral and written composition, exercises are chosen on a basis of probable social usefulness, suit- ability. and probable ettectiveness. Instru- mental grammar includes necessary in- formation and considerable drill in gram- matical usage. Spelling lists and tests are identical for all, as the problem works for Mis Green, A.B.', Miss Clark, M.A., Head of Department of lilnglish; Miss Holt, AJL, Librarian; Miss o h LISH AND FORE N EANGUAGE these grades vary little. Remedial work and creative compositional activities are carried on in certain classes; in all cases the Course of Study is designed to be suf- hciently flexible to permit its use under whatever conditions may exist. The classes in the Foreign Language Department are all elective. Eighth-grade students usually choose general language, which gives a greater knowledge and ap- preciation of their own through compari- son with others. Simple songs, grammar. simple poems are learned in the different languagesi Ninth-grade pupils have the choice of French. German, Spanish, and Latin. Last year there were no Spanish or German classes; so few were interested in these two. Class activities in ninth- grade work include grammar. vocabulary drills. translation, and a study Of English derivatives. Miss Stewart and Miss Black- burn have the foreign language classes at Roosevelt. ROOSEVELT 1936 Mr. Van Bzu'riger; Mr. Villemure, B. 8.; Miss Hyland; Miss Eckberg, A. B.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS The great men of science and of learning eThales, Pythagoras, Plato. Aristotle, Euclid,ehave established beyond a doubt that mathematics is the basic science in our system of knowledge. itln the realm of thought, it is our one real link with in- finity; in the realm of the practical, it bridges our rivers and stream lines our airplanes? The number of students who need math- ematics for preparation in careers of engi- neering, astronomy, chemistry; the num- ber who need mathematical statistics in the held of economics, business, education, and the natural sciences, as well as in medi- cal research, is increasing rapidly; and the amount of: mathematics required in each held has multiplied many times. An excellent opportunity to acquire this strong and greatly needed foundation in mathematics is given to each pupil at Roosevelt through the required mathe- matics courses in the seventh and eighth grades. In these classes review is given and drill on all the fundamental processes is practiced. Pupils are introduced to busi- ness arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The ninthegrade course is elective and very popular with a large number of Roosevelt students. It is a combination of algebra and an introduction to trigo- nometry.

COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS The Commercial Department offers to pupils in the eighth grade Business Prac- tice I and II and to those in ninth grade Typewriting I and II. In Business Practice the student learns about the many activities which are a part of modern business. To supplment this business knowledge, regular business forms are used so that the pupil gets prac- tice in actually filling out records and papers which are used by people daily. Students also have the opportunity to find out whether they like commercial work well enough to continue it in senior high school. In the first semester of typewriting, pu- pils learn the keyboard so that anyone may develop typwriting speed and accuracy for personal or vocational use, how to center material on a page, and how to write short business letters. In Typewriting II prac- tice is given in writing all the different styles of business letters, envelopes, legal and business forms. IL; Miss Mundhenke, A. B., Head of Commercial General Science. as the name implies, is a general introduction to many of the spe- cial sciences as well as a complete course in itself. During the work in these classes many pupils choose a particular science Held for future study or gain enjoyable or profitable hobbies. The junior high school course in general science aims to give the pupil an under- standing of the factors of his environment so that he will be able to live more intelli- gently and happily; it attempts to impart to each a usable knowledge of his own per- sonal hygiene and the factors of commun- ity hygiene. Text books, demonstrations, and discussions are used, and frequently persons especially qualified to speak on special subject are invited to address the science classes. In story. too, the pupil becomes acquainted with the lives and un- selfish service and devoted efforts of those scientists who have brought about the con- veniences of our modern Civilization. , it 2x W244? : ROOSEVELT 1936 mA ' Mr. Villemut'eHE. 8.; Mr. Wood; Mr. Bjorge, B. 8.; Mr. liulsley; Mr. Annis, B. 8., Head of Department of Industrialurts.

This past semester 688 boys enrolled in classes offered by this department. Teachers in this department aim through the shop work to prepare boys for later life, not by making them master mechanics, but by giving them a knowledge and prac- tice in the right way of doing many things so that they are not dependent entirely upon skilled help, if some emergency arises; the work of the shops gives many boys new ideas and ways of using leisure time profitably; it often develops a hobby that later proves worthwhile; here, too, boys are taught the newest methods, learn about the new gadgets, and discover the latest developments in the field that is ever enlarging. The work of the Home Economics De- partment offers work as interesting and helpful to the girls as the Industrial De- partment does for the boys. Miss Schrader .L'V'DEPARTMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND HOME ECONOMICS took the place made vacant by Miss Lund- berg's marriage last summer ; some courses were so popular that Miss Olander had to be added to the faculty last February to assist Miss Knott, Mrs. Carlson, Miss Schrader with the work of the department. In seventh grade all girls take sewing in which they learn many different stitches and how to sew on a machine ; take cooking where they learn how to prepare everyday dishes and considerable about food values. A11 8B class in Home Economics gives in- formation on taking care of babies, making plans for homes, giving first aid, and facts about personal hygiene. Foods and cloth- ing classes, elective courses, give practice in preparing and planning large meals, meals for convalescents, and meals for people of various ages. In clothing classes girls learn how to make undergarments, pajamas, and wash dresses in eighth grade; silk dresses, tailored clothes, and fabric study in the ninth grade. This year the foods classes entertained all teachers at a tea at Christmas, and in late May a few teachers at a dinner which they planned, prepared, and served themselves. Mr. Bm'nnl', B. C.

DEPARTMENTS OF MUSIC AND ART The music study offered in junior high school gives opportunities in both choruses and instrumental groups. The mixed choruses, boys, and girls glee clubs, and the smaller vocal ensembles furnish op- portunity for special training and interest; along with the instrumental groups, and all provide auditorium programs and as- semblies and affirm the feeling Of pride and pleasure in their accomplishments. In the past a great deal of emphasis in select- ing school studies was placed upon the three Rls; now that emphasis would seem to be shifting to the three Clsecharacter, citizenship, and culture. Music makes a valuable contribution to all Of these. The success of junior high school music work is measured in terms of its effectiveness in the development of a lasting love for the best in music through an intelligent appreciation of it. Not all artists draw, paint, and model. Some, who never work as painters, archi- tects, sculptors, and commercial desq, do, are just as truly artists. They use art in daily living to arrange a beautifu room. make a beautiful garden, or plan a becoming costume. This is a work of art and is created in the same way that a beau- tiful picture is created by the painter artist. One uses manufactured articles for beauti- ful arrangements; the other uses brushes and paints. Art in the seventh grade e111- phasizes the study of art as it influences daily living. The student tries out new materials and ways of working that he may understand how art enriches life today. Elective art offers the general student and the specially artistic student an Opportun- ity to experiment in new materials, clay modeling, and crafts. The language of art is the same whether one becomes the artist selector or the expert or just enjoys art as a hobby. The expert must be more skillful. but each plays an important part in daily living. Page 14 K n ROOSEVELT 193? If A? Mr. Sehoonmaker, B. 8.; Miss Reynolds, A.B.; BIYK Ryan.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH EDUCATION Every effort is made in Health and Phys- ical Education to instill in each boy and girl the desire to be a finer individual. The girls under the direction of Miss Reynolds and Mrs. Flood and the boys under the supervision of Mr. Huxhain, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Schoonmoker, with Miss Han- strom for both, find a wholesome and worthwhile program. Each day they at- tempt in some way to create a desire with- in the heart of each pupil to want to do the right thing at the right time, to try to per- form difficult stunts in spite of personal antagonism for the particular activity, to make the laws of good health a natural instead of a tedious task, and to present to these children a wholesome, beneflcial pro- gram in class time and out-of-school hours that will encourage them, no matter how old they are, to appreciate a clean and vigorous body, a clear mind, and a happy spirit. Classes are directed in the skillful per- formance of exercises for posture to en- courage quick response in marching tac- tics; for the completion of self testing re- quirements in various activities; for com- petition in higher and lower organized games; training of leaders, organized games, teaching rules of the game, ande for the girls rhythm in 1nterest1ng folk dances. Intramural activities have always been most popular with boys as well as girls. Soccer, basketball, bat bal, long ball, cor- ner kick, line soccer, baseball, indoor base- ball, track, swimming, horeshoes are in- cluded in this intramural program. The home room is ordinarily used as basis of competition. Interscholastic competition has been limited to swimming and basket- ball with Lincoln Junior High School. Swimming is open to eight- and ninth- grade children. This year there has been an intensive drive on making more good swimmers in the slower groups and much success has come to many; more difficult work was assigned to the advanced pupils. Social contacts are an important part of the work, for the work and organization of the department fosters such. When games are played, even in the most com- petitive spirit, there is always time for friendly chatter and laughter. The joyful hours spent in the Roosevelt pool, play- ground, and gymnasium, will be remem- bered long by students of Rooevelt. Page 15 ROOSEVELT 1936 Dr. JG. TT.

OUR SCHOOL DISPENSARY A visit to the school dispensary at any time of the day would show even the eas- ual visitor that it was a busy place. An average of forty students are seen and cared for daily. Miss Hanstrom, our nurse. is on duty a little after eight oieloek each morning, and from that time on she is ministering to the boys and girls of the Roosevelt Junior High School. Besides attending to the dispensary, our nurse teaches one class in general science which meets three times each week. The duties of the school nurse are many and varied; most often she is giving first aid, but there are times when pupils have accidents, such as tearing their garments or spilling ink on their clothing, and they go to her for help. Often times she is con- sulted as to what to do for a sprained fin- get, a wart, a callous on the bottom of the foot, a verruca, and many other such ail- ments. Inspections are made frequently so that contagion and personal cleanliness may be closely checked, and bad habits, such as biting the Fingernails, may be found and broken. She also assists the school dentist, Dr. Edstrom, and the school physician, Dr. Quandt, in their periodic examinatons. Each pupil has a dental examination once a year if possible; there have been 1,474 dental examinations made to date; each pupils is given a report of his examina- tion to take home to his parents so that the home might check on the result of the examination and eo-operate by help in whatever way it was deemed necessary. From September, 1935, to March, 1936, Dr. Quandt had examined 712 students; besides doing the regular examinations he is often called to inspect cases and to de- cide whether pupils should remain in school or not and in some instances to make a diagnosis. Each child who has a physical defect is given a written state- ment about it to take home so that the parents may know and aid. Much to the surprise of many, perhaps. our nurse this year has taken care of 798 First aid cases, some of which were of a minor nature to be sure. but many have been quite serious: all received necessary attention. Each year it is routine for the nurse to weigh eaeh pupil at least once. This is usually done in the 7B, 813, and 98 grades, spreadingr the work over a period of time; almost nine hundred have been weighed, measured, and Checked this year. The work of the school nurse, who cares for the school family of 1,700, 18 indispens- able and invaluable. Page 16 A.ANDANTE .h Pupils are assigned to home rooms al- most as soon as they arrive at Roosevelt, and in these groups they usually remain for the three-year period. If schobl life is to be likened to a symphony, it is in home rooms that tone patterns are made and practiced, modified or completely changed. In the many school contacts pupils reveal how much these patterns mean to them. Home-room teachers do much to bring out each pupil's best; they explain; they help.

Roosevelt is justly proud of its band and their leader, Mr. Allen Elmquist. For the first time in the history of the school, the Rockford junior high school band was awarded a hrst-divion rating by the unan- imous vote of three judges in the state grade school music contest at Blooming- ton. The band competed in the class A event. Earlier in the year the boys re- ceived a similar award in the sectional con- test held at Sterling, Illinois. Two solo- ists, Lawrence Barrett and Lowen Shearer. and the members of the brass sextette, Lawrence Barrett, Lowen Shearer. Dick Morgan.

Receipts from the sale of tickets for this affair to be turned over to the fund which goes to purchase new capes, of which the boys are so proud, and which has added so much to the general attrac- tiveness and colorfulness 0f the group as a whole. Recently, too, the boys appeared before the Kiwanis Club members at one of their evening meetings.

ROOSEVELT ORCH ESTRA Roosevelt orchestra. is one of the schools favorite musical organizations. This year there are sixty-eight boys and girls in the orchestra. Mr. Bornor is the leader; Florence Kuhlmeier, the concert master. Competi- tion is keen among the members of this group and it is not easy for one to remain in the concert masters chair after he has won it. Each one is rated by chairs, the first Chair being the best; second chair, next, and so on. These chairs are acquired by challenges. Anyone who is eager for a higher position, challenges the one who holds the desired place. The challenger then makes the selection, and both play. Page 62 Orchestra members vote to determine the winner. The orchestra has appeared before eighth- and ninth-grade assemblies each semester this year and pleased all aud- iences. At four oiclock on Sunday, May 24, they presented their annual Play Day program to a large group of patrons, par- ents, and friends. Many delightful selec- tions were included in this program, of which tiFinlandiaii by Sibelus; iiSelece tions from Carineify by Bizet; Soldieris MarCIW by Gounod; and iiSleeping Beauty by Tschaikowsky. The receipts from the Play Day Concert are always used to purchase new music and to replace some of the 01d copies with new ones. C. VALSE ROOSEVELT I936 Mr. H. H.

ROOSEVELT TRACK TEAM Roosevelt track team went out to Fair- grounds Park on the twenty-ninth of May last year to capture for Roosevelt the championship for the fourth consecutive year. This is an enviable record which has been established by the track men and their coach, Mr. Huxham. Many of the boys did outstanding work on the team. George Champion broke the shot put record wth a toss of some fifty feet; Edwin Fissinger set a new record in the 440-yard dash, making it in 54.7 sec- onds over a wet, heavy track; Fissinger also placed third in the 220-yard dash; Clarence Akins took first in the high jump and placed third in the broad jump; James Holmes placed first in the broad jump and second in both the 100- and 220-yard dashes; Marvin Myers won the 880-yard run in two minutes and sixteen and five- tenths seconds. Of the eight exceptional records held by junior high school boys, seven come from Roosevelt: Packard, lOO-yard dash, 1932; Fissinger, 440-yard run, 1935; Packard, broad jump, 1932; Champion, shot put, 1935; Bennett, 880-yard run, 1930; Pack- ard, 220-yard dash, 1932; and team relaye- Crosby, Kline, DiAgostin, Phillips, 1933.

ROOSEVELT SWI M M I NC TEAM What a day January 21 this past year was for Mr. Ryan, coach, and the mem- bers of the Roosevelt swimming team: Wade, Dettman, Burt, Jacobs, Cleary Pet- erson, and Cascio. This was the day which brought to them the climax of the years work and practice; it brought them to the annual meet against Lincolnls team in the Roosevelt pool. It also bright them vic- tory, the first victory in six years, so that it was an important, breath-taking occa- sion. The team not only brought honor to the school, but to many of themselves, for a number of previous records were shat- tered that day. Wade was Victorious in the forty-yard crawl; his record was a new one, twenty- one seconds. Wade also set up a new forty- yard back stroke record at 27.2. Morris Stone swam in this event, but failed to place this time. Peterson broke all prev- ious records for the breast stroke, making it in 28.6 this time, and Cascio was second. In the crawl relay Wade, Jacobs, Cleary, and Dettman established a new record at 129; in the medley relay Wade swam for Roosevelt the back stroke; Dettman, the free style stroke; and Peterson, the breast stroke. The time here was 116. In diving, honors went to Lincoln boys, but Burt of Roosevelt held an easy second. Mr. Ryan has started work already with his next years team; he is very anxiods to secure boys who will be able to fill the places of those who left for high school and who left such glorious records behind them. Mr. Ryan and the boys are eager to win another victory for Roosevelt.

Page 70 A.RAMBERG FINALE ROOSEVELT 1936 CRESCENDO Growing is such loads of fun, particularly when one is growing bigger and better. At least, that is the way the Yearbook staff feels about its publication. There is a symphony to it all and in it all, if one but takes time to trace the patterns from year to year; there is a contrast if one examines the first book that Roosevelt published. Quite different, indeed, is the new hard- backed yearbook that is published this year from the paper pamphlet of 1924-25. It was light orange in color; on the front was printed in blue lettering: THE PIO- NEERS OF ROOSEVELT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. The name seemed a1- niost larger than the publication, for there were but seven pages and five pictures in the first issue. The photographs were newspaper pictures, which had been lent to the staff by the Register-Republic. The write-ups consisted of class prophecies for the most part. Here is a typical prophecy of the first classes: ttThe illustrious Y9A2 Class of the Theo- dore Roosevelt Junior High School left in June, 1925, for the Senior High School. HIn the year 1945, I, Bernita Frey, was suffering from spring fever. In accordance with my doctors orders, I decided on taking a trip to New York. HI bought a ticket at Chicago from Ray- mond Sears, the head ticket agent, and was delighted to hear that Robert Shaw was chief cook and bottle washer 0n the train that was to carry me to my destination. Before leaving, I attended Sunday services in a well known Chicago church and saw that Wendell Arendsee was minister. The train arrived at five o'clock in the evening at the Grand Central Station and I was taken in a taxi driven by Phil Bennett to Schmeling's Hotel, owned by our dear classmate, Rosa- bel, and operated for her, as she was de- clining in health, by Kermit Zipse, now a prosperous manager in one of the best ho- tels in the country. As I entered the lobby, I was amazed to behold, strolling down the center aisle, a. most conspicuously dressed personage, Beatrice Symmonds. After see- ing New York, I again resumed my journey, this time toward Boston. As I was ready to board the train, I found I had left one of my trunks in the hotel. The obliging porter, Phil Patton, consented to go back after it. He immediately disappeared to be seen no more. In Boston I met Miriam Putnam, Who was a model in a fashionable dressmaker's shop. Although I enjoyed my travels very much, the life was too strenuous for me and I was taken to a suburban hospital for a week of quiet. Imagine my surprise to find V Robert Gratzmaeher the leading physician in that famous hospital. After my rest I took up sightseeing again, spending a day in the historic city. Just think! Norman Gustaf- son Was a close friend of the family of the governor of Massachusetts, and Emmett Sweeney was United States senator from that state. ttFrom Boston I traveled in an aeroplane, operated by Nina Smith, enroute to Wash- ington. We went so fast, We almost achieved the speed of the fourth hour dramatics class going to lunch, in the good old days back in 1925. ttAt Washington we met Forrest Coulter, now a famous scientist, performing wonder- ful experiments. He gave information con- cerning several of the class. He said that Ruby Speilman was a missionary in China; Marion Melen made a fortune on an adver- tisement for anti-fat; and Marjory Stanley was a great violinist. I was called back to Chicago, although my trip had just begun. I felt repaid be- cause I had seen so many of my old friends. The only write-up which differed greatly from the others was the prophecy of room 215, and it had been written in poetry. Famous songs of members of that first graduating class included the following: nDon't Blame It All on Me, Edson Dut- cher: UString Beansfy Chester Kiltz; Run- ninT Wild, James Ford; HOh, Harold? Harold Rudolph; UDixie's Favorite Son, Lowell Phillips. The last page of this hrst issue contained advertising. Many of the advertisers are now out of business. The Yearbook of 1924-25 did display the ideals of Rooseveltis first students just as the Yearbook does today. Of them we are justly proud. We only hope that our Year- book Will keep right 011 with progress, growth, and improvement. Nancy Ross of Room 204 should be given thanks for this interesting and worthwhile write-up, for she is the one who is the proud possessor of the hrst yearbook. Last year she kindly lent us the first issue of Teddyts News to review. Page 73 ROOSEVELT 1936 Page 74 SUMMER SIGHS Katherine and one of her famous smiles. Two boys and one dog.

Betty Howard, Harold Snider, Jane Atridge, and Donald Busch have just arrived at the threshold of learning. The camera caught this crowd at noon. Oh-o-o, don't they look hungry? Robert Tresemer. with a bicycle and books, starts out on the home trek. He looks as though he had had a busy day. Margaret, Bertress, and Gladys are caught on the corner. This is the result. Janet, Lavone, and Frances like ice-cream This picture would help convict them if they ever tried to deny it. Can you believe it? These girls tried to escape the picture-taking ordeal. Tut, tut, Joan, Marian, Juanita, Alida, and Mae; Miss Nolan will be told about this. This group acts more as it should. Here we see Jean, Beverly, Angela, Catherine, and two of their friends. What is this? Looks decidedly like a Flring squad. No, it is Clifford, Paul, David, Charles, Bill, and William displaying their new cabinets made in woodshop. Snowballs will be in order for this gang just as soon as no one is looking. Nancy, Betty, and Katherine are standing out- side the Parrot, but eating again just the same.

Mrs. Jones, whose smile and helpful hand be- hind the counter each noon, will not be for- gotten. Mrs: Longcor, the candy lady, who is busy w1th young and old, for there is many a sweet tooth at Roosevelt. Mrs. Carlson, Miss Haley, and Miss Reynolds are having a talk fest at one of the faculty parties. Miss Haley seems to have gotten the joke.

STACCATO: TIME STAGGERS ON I956 Today marks the anniversary of the founding of the National Associa- tion for Prevention of Cruelty to Bar Flies, founded ten years ago by our distinguished citizen, Vincent Klesli. The first thing that Mr. Klesli did was to investigate conditions in the bars and taverns of Rockford, Illi- nois. This took him ten years; he is still trying to count the entire lot of them. In case you are wondering what a bar Hy is, you can wonder all you want, because I am not getting paid for this work and will not take the trouble to explain my gags. Page 82 Miss Jane Attridge of Rockford has completed a successful tour of the various theaters in Cherry Val- ley and is coming home again. Miss Attridge is a former graduate of Roosevelt Junior High School. Please dOIft blame the school for producing such an artist as this; she was that way before she came. Because of ever growing opposition to his singing, John Key has left for China. Key said he was not able to stand the disappointment of having the title of champion hog caller taken from him when he failed to comply with the rules of Union 57 of the Musicians. Lawrence Barrett is now working for Louie Hyinerls orchestra in Scum of the City, a lunch wagon. Barrett has been prominent in the activities of the musicians of the city and de- serves the smallest amount of praise that you can give him. Donald Lohdell went west this year to seek his fortune. He did not have much to lose, but he had less to gain, as Freeport does not have much to offer. Lowen Shearer had a slight acci- dent this week when playing with the Caledonia Philharmonic Society. He is very absent minded, as many of you know, and while he was playing on his French horn, he fell asleep. Shearer unconsciously kept on play- ing and his hand moved slowly into the horn. It came out the mouth- piece, and the poor thing got hit three times before Lowen awoke to find the fingers lying scattered over the room. Professor Van Barriger celebrated his ninety-second birthday today, and he started out on the new year of his life by trying to prove his theory of horses and radishes. He claims that you cannot mix horses and radishes in order to get horseradish. The pro- fessor has been trying to prove this theory for over thirty years. It will probably take another thirty if one can wait that long. TIME STAGGERS ON! e-W.S. ROOSEVELT 1936 ROOSEVELT 1936 A STORY IN SONG A girl on a little Dutch plate met the little man that had a busy day. They found a broken record and soon the music went round and round. uGoody, goody, they cried. hIsn,t it lovelyiw Then for 24 hours a day, they watched red sails in the sunset. It was not long before he found himself alone, so he put on his top hat and ordered, Dinner for one, please, James. Soon he began to feel like a feather in the breeze and he missed the beautiful lady in blue. It would seem that she hit the spot and he could be her lucky star. He searched everywhere for her, and at last found her cold and hungry. At this he became big hearted and ordered one hamburger for madame. Then he told her that there was no other one. She wouldnit believe him and said, uIive got a feelini youire foolinl hPlease believe me. of me. Youtre part nI do, I do, she whispered, itbut ttitis dangerous to love like this? Now quicker than you can say Jack Robinson, they were married, and everything was okee dokee. Lights out, and the curtain goes down on our hrst and last act. L. K.
