The North Door FOREWORD A design for learning is the theme for our book this year; 11 Man's creative urge has ever driven him to trace his dreams in sand or stone or steel and to capture moods,-pleasc1nt or painfulr-in prose or poetry or with paint from his palette; but at no time in history perhaps has he been more eager or better able V to design Cl plumewise, sane, and plain, for his own living. 11 The way of learning and living together at Roosevelt gives all its boys and girls training and knowledgeiof the fundamentals in this all-importcmt works N31 ; ya g um; The East DQor A DESIGN FOR LEARNING I.

W elsh gave up the principalship of Welsh and Walker schools last September to become our principal. In these schools he had earned cm en- viable record of CI leadership that was sympathetic in its understanding, tolerant in its outlook, and dy- namic in its courage. Because teachers and pupils at Roosevelt have found him so, we, the staff of the 1937 Yearbook. affectionately dedicate this volume to him. ILose wLo Jcsign THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF ROCKFORD'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS The educational program for Rockford is directed by its School Board; the superintendent assists the board in this important work. School bootrd members are appointed by the Mayor and are certified to the City Dr, W, W. Ankenbrund, Superintendent V , . . ph, D,, New york University Counc1l. Each member is oppomted for o two-yedr period. All members are chosen from the city at large and never to represent certain words in the city. 11 The duties of the school board resemble those of CI bootrd of directors of CI corporation! ex- cept that the school board is given much less freedom in performing its duties; on the other hand, the school board is relieved of certain liabilities Which the regular corporation must as- sume. Legal requirements dictate to the school board what it must do and moty do and how these acts are to be performed; not all the board's duties are specifically defined, so that the Rockford Board may do Hwhottever is reasonably necessary to carry out an act definitely authorized by low. II Members of the Rockford Board of Education render the highest type of public service. They represent the district in forming policies, in entering into contracts, in managing property, and, in general, in the conduct of all business affairs. Their influence reaches out beyond the limits of Rockford to the very heotrt oi the notion. Their responsibilities are large; their opportunities for service unlimited. Mr, H. D.

W. Welsh, who took over his duties as principal of Roosevelt in September last year. fl While the prin- cipal is directly responsible for the supervision of instruction, he has the assistance of general supervisors in music and art, and of department heads in the other subjects. Miss Angelo once, the assistant principal, has direct charge of disciplinary cases unless they are serious enough to warrant the attention of the principal; she checks truancy and attendance, working closely with Miss Nellie Honstrom, the school nurse, and Mrs. Minerva Atchinson, the attend- cmce officer. Miss once has charge of one study hour, sponsors the Student Council, and has general supervision of the zero hour, scheduled each afternoon in room 201,- this semester each teacher has assisted in this work by assuming responsibility for one period each. 11 Very essential to the entire work of the school are the services of the two girls in the office, Miss Eleanor Berg and Miss Frances Gustofson. Miss Gustofson hos charge of school accounts and the great amount of mimeogrophing to be done for departments; Miss Berg acts as secre- tory to the principal, scores and checks numerous tests by which it is much easier to adminis- ter c1 guidance program for each pupil. Both share the Clerical work, issuing permits of many kinds, and attending to program arrangements and many other necessary details. 11 The school office is CI busy place from eight o'clock in the morning until five in the afternoon; on Saturday, until noon. This schedule maintains throughout the year. Dr. B H Quandt tthe school physiciani, Burton Schreiber tcx studentt, Miss Nellie Hcmstom, R N, Uhe school nurset. OUR DISPENSARY Another place as busy as the school office is the dispensary, located just south of the office. The dispensary consists of three rooms, one of which is Ct rest room with four comfortable cots; another, a small room Which is CI waiting room and in Which are the records and the scales; and CI third large, well-lighted room where examinations are held and first-ctid treatment adminis- tered. With work in one 01 these rooms Miss Hanstrom, our school nurse, is always busy, except for the time given over to inspections in the gymnasium or to teaching one general science class each semester, or to sponsoring the first-ctid club. Tl At least once each year all pupils at Roosevelt czre weighed and measured. At this time students are told what their normal weight should be. Dr. Quondt, the school physician, examines all pupils ctt least once during their stay Cit Roosevelt, usually during the ninth year. The school physician is also called in on occasion to make decisions to inspect special cases, and to make necessary physical examinations for pupils participating in the different school sports. Tl During the first semester this year, Miss Honstrom reports, there was but little contagion prevalentlejust two cases of scarlet fever. After the Christmas holidays, a good many cases of influenza and colds were found. During the first semester, however, Miss Hanstrom gctve 662 firstnid treatments, saw 4,050 pupils, and mode 4,137 inspections. With a school family of 1,700 to look after, check, examine, and care for, is it a wonder that our school nurse is busy from morning until night? 013i Mrs. Iessie Crozier, Mrs. Alma Peterson, Miss Katherine Brown tbuilding manageri. OUR SCHOOL CAFETERIA AND LUNCHROOM Roosevelt cafeteria is a very busy place and a popular one from eleven fifty in the morning until one o'clock in the afternoon. On an average over 350 students buy lunches daily, and more than that eat their lunches prepared at home. The second hour is the busiest of all, when all 412 chairs are occupied by hungry children. 11 Miss Lucy Normile, who has had charge of all school cafeterias for the past ten years, is director; Miss Katherine Brown is building manager. Miss Normile has many duties and plans all menus; Miss Brown checks supplies, supervises cooking and serving, attends to details, does the daily and some of the weekly buying. Seven Rockford housewives, who are not professional cooks, but Who are trained for this particular work and who are interested in Roosevelt and its children and who have passed rigid physi- cal examinations, help by having charge of various parts of the work and by supervising the student help. Thirty boys and girls who are deserving and efficient are chosen from the appli- cants to assist with the cafeteria work each semester. Studenthelpers serve food, dry dishes, clean trays, crumb tables, and act as checkers and caShiers. 11 This semester the menus, made out a week in advance, have been sent to home rooms each Monday morning. Special bargain combinations are frequently offered for ten, twelve, and fifteen cents; these are planned as healthy and hearty combinations and are readily recognized by students as good buys. The average cost of the student lunch is about twelve and one-half cents. Regular items on the menu consist of buns and hamburger tmeat ground in our kitchen and baked, not friedt, frankfurts, lettuce sandwiches, mashed potatoes, fresh and canned fruits, milk, chocolate drink, cookies, and ice-cream. Dishes changed daily are soup, a meat dish, two vegetables, two sal- ads, a sandwich, pie, and pudding.

This subject includes reading, literature, ' oral anduwritten composition, grammatical usage, and spelling Emphasis is placed upon the silent and oral reading as a thought-getting process; selections in literature vary greatly as to type and correspond With present and possible future interests of students. An interesting ad- venture series and a unit on myths have recently been added. Many opportunities are given for oral composition which measures up with the development and interest of pupils; the pro- gram in written composition is flexible enough to be adaptable to the varying needs and abil- ities. Some time is given, too, to instrumental grammar in a variety of exercises incidental to acquiring proficiency. Spelling words assigned each semester form basis for mastery drill, for use in vocabulary building, and for assistance in sentence drill, and exercises in punctuation. 11 In the Foreign Language department general language, French, and Latin are offered. Eighth-grade pupils may choose general language, a short study of many languages, in Which they learn songs and poems and do some grammar work; they learn interesting facts about each country and about famous people from that country. Latin and French may be elected by IhnHygradesnudenm. In bohilanguages granunan Uan$ahon,conqjehon and vocabukuy drills, oral and written exercises, and a study of English derivatives make up the daily Class work. The members of the French classes this year have carried forward a letter-writing proj- ect with French children; this has proved interesting and helpful. French children write in Eng- lish; American children, in French. II Our library work requires a person Who is not only a librarian by training, but a teacher as well. Our librarian, Miss Kleist, aids classroom teachers in trying to create among students a lasting interest in books and libraries. She works hard to keep on hand, in the most usuable and most easily accessible form, collections of the newest books, pamphlets, pictures, and magazines. She gives students practical help in learning how to use the card catalog and aids them in selecting books for general reading. This semester Miss Kleist has instituted a system of fines, so that pupils are more prompt in returning books and in finding ttlost books.

DEPARTMENTS OF MATHEMATICS AND COMMERCE At Roosevelt all boys and girls in the seventh and eighth grades are required to take mathe- matics; in ninth grade it is optional, and algebra is offered. Mathematics at Roosevelt treats of social, civic, and economic values, all three found in our everyday life. Pupils are led to think about the quantitative aspects of life in such terms as the buying and selling in the mathe- matics of the consumer; of budgets, accounts, bills, installment payments, insurance, taxes, sav- ing and investing in the mathematics of the home; and of the formula, the graph, and the equation in the mathematics of industry. In this easy, matter-of-fact fashion, pupils develop a truer appreciation of the utility of numbers and learn the importance of such in social and oc- cupational problems; they also learn the importance of figuring problems with ease and check- ing them. 11 The commercial department offers two courses-to eighth-grade pupils, Busi- ness practice I and II; and to ninth-grade pupils, Typewriting I and II. Business practice aims to give pupils information about the world of business and the practices that help those en- gaged in business pursuits; it provides interesting exploration through participation in the common business activities such as buying and selling, saving and investing money, means of communication, travel, insurance, banking, handling the mail, filing, shipping goods by freight, express, or parcel post; it provides constructive guidance for those interested in a business career; and it lays a foundation for additional study of business. Typewriting stu- dents discover how to care for a machine, how to use it to best advantage, and how to type accurately with a reasonable degree of speed. How to center copy on a page, how to outline material, how to write short business and personal letters are projects for the firlst-semester classes; haw to address envelopes, how to write all styles of business letters, how to tabulate material in two, three, or four columns, how to write two-page letters, telegrams, and legal doc- uments are interesting problems for the second-semester typing pupils. 31 mg: m Algebra problems for a ninth-grade group under the guidance of Mr. Van- Barriger in room 302 11 Speed tests cxre part of interesting instruction in this ninth-grade typing class room 211 Tl Business procedures, forms, and the like taught by Miss Mundhenke in this business practice class.

DEPARTMENTS OF SOCIAL AND GENERAL SCIENCE If Rip Van Winkle were to have awakened from his twenty-years slumber now instead of some 150 years ago, how many adjustments and changes he would have had to make. This is particularly true of facts in the sciences. fl In social science classes at Roosevelt teachers realize that boys and girls are anxious to improve society, but that they must have guidance as how to go about it as individuals. They feel that the school is not the place for special propaganda and so treat different or opposing views with fairness and respect; they know that much of democracy is arrived at by making and through making mistakes, so that they foster, encourage, and provide experiences from which boys and girls may experience the benefits of free discussion and the satisfactions of associated effort; they aim to prepare each child to become a citizen who will play a helpful part in the government of our country. This past year one of the department projects was a school election in which the pupils carried for- ward the entire work of the campaign and used for the election ballots very like the real ones. 11 Pupils in general science classes in Roosevelt are given information about natural sur- roundings; teachers strive to broaden pupils' experiences by using forces and materials in the environment and they try to deveIOp desirable habits and abilities through the use of refer- ence materials. Many activities are given to create interest in the practice of personal and community hygiene and to awaken in boys and girls a spirit of observation and inquiry con- cerning the nature and value of science in modern life. After a conscientious study of gener- al science, junior high school pupils should have a general respect for all living things and should better understand how necessary it is for community, state, and nation to co-operate in the conservation of natural resources; they Should also be able to understand and appreciate more fully the devoted and unselfish efforts of noted scientists and their methods of working and serving for the common good. um aux Miss Olsonls second-hour ninth-grdde class demonstrating the use of pulleys 11 Virginia, Helen!

All pu- pils are required to take music as a seventh-grade subject, but after that it is elective. Elec- tive courses include work in the chorus, the orchestra, and the bank. Many school projects throughout the year have been initiated to enable pupils to use their talents. There are Christ- mas songs, operettas in the spring, numerous radio broadcasts during the year, assembly pro- grams, band concerts and contests, and orchestra concerts. 11 Americans have outgrown the idea that music is something which only a few queer people do for a living and that Europe is the only country that produces good musicians. Music teachers are interested in developing music lovers, those who sing and play for enjoyment and Who listen understandingly to the music of the radio and concert hall. Music can do much to broaden pupils' understanding of history and other social and appreciation studies: it is a language which all are capable of understanding, even though they are unable to speak it. 11 Classes in art present pupils with many new and interesting experiences. In seventh grade many kinds of art activities used in life today are introduced; experiments with new materials are carried on. Those who choose elective work in eighth or ninth grade have the chance to model in clay, make glaze and fire pottery, work in leather, make masks, do block printing, design wall hangings and posters, help With stage settings, or do special work on art work on the Yearbook. 1I In studying art in their surroundings and in trying out many ways of working, pupils learn the language of art, which in turn brings about an understanding which is helpful in choosing the things needed for use and wear and in enhancing the enjoyment of beauty in everyday living. tZOt Barbara Loman, Howard Green, and lack Grenz admiring a small mural! c1, project in ninth-grcxde cxrt class with Miss Giffen 11 Miss Fredriksen and her special class that delighted c: large audience at Christmas 11 Miss Haley's art class making masks. 03D ML Lloyd Wood, Mr. Thomas Bjorge, B 5,, Miss Millie Knott, B.

DEPARTMENTS OF HOUSEHOLD AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS The work of the household and industrial arts departments offer many classes that are inter- esting, fascinating, and very practical. TI In household arts, the girls of the seventh-grade Clothing Classes learn how to make the fundamental stitches. Before the semester is over, they have made their own cooking uniforms and in this way have become accustomed to using the sewing machine. In the seventh-grade cooking Classes, they learn how to prepare break- fasts and acquire considerable information about food values. It is this class that usually pre- pares and acts as hostesses to the faculty for the Christmas tea. This year it was a very en- joyable and lovely occasion when teachers and pupils got together for an hour after school. In classes in 8B information on personal hygiene, care of the home, Child care, first aid, bud- geting, and worthy use of leisure is given; in 8A clothing cotton slips and pajamas are made; in the foods classes the girls generally prepare and serve a luncheon to which mothers are invited. In Clothing I, a prerequisite to Clothing II, color and design in relation to Clothing are studied and a cotton dress and a cotton undergarment are made. Textiles, spinning, and weaving are studied in Clothing II and a wool skirt and a silk blouse are made. In Food I the girls prepare a class dinner; in the Food II classes the girls prepare and serve a three or four-course meal. 11 In industrial arts classes boys may choose work in mechanical draw- ing, automotive, cabinet, wood, printing, or machine shops. Teachers in this department do not aim to make master mechanics of the boys, but do expect them to gain a knowledge and mastery in the right way of doing things mechanically, which will be practical, economical, and labor saving in times of emergency. Boys are taught the newest methods, learn about new gadgets and the newest developments in the field,- they learn how to use leisure profitably and acquire new hobbies and interests. Woodworking classes with Mr. Balsley next year have a new thrill in store for them. Very recently for their use on new projects the following machines were installed in the woodshop: four wood turning lathes, two jigsaws, one hand saw, one disc and belt sander, and one jointer and saw. tZZI Boys learning their cases preparatory to printing problems with Mr. Wood 11 The 7A foods classes at tea with faculty on December 16, 1937 11 Mr. Bjorge's boys busy on projects in the machine shop.

N., Mrs Helen Flood, Miss Naomi Owen, B, S DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION In no department in the junior high school are there so many and so varied activities as to be found in the physical education and health departments. The teachers work to instill a de- sire on the port of all pupils to live cleaner, healthier, and more wholesome lives. In the sim- ple act of dressing neatly for the gym class, in serving 015 monitor housekeeper, in taking that lost glance in the mirror before going to the next class, pupils have acquired and practiced having a clean and neat appearance. 11 An appreciation of the value of good health, talks by the nurse, physical examinations by the doctor, nurse, teacher, with follow-up work by each one, careful supervision of all physical activities so as to prevent injury to health by overdoing, -1- 0111 these and many others, e play on important part in CI program of good health. 11 Right attitudes are important in building c1 fuller life. Strong foundation in charac- ter, built early in life, make it hard for children to grow ctwcty from them. All of these plus how to play the game, the fundamentals of swimming, the technique and rhythm of dancing, and the skills of various games are cm integral part of the physical education program. In ex- periences of this kind pupils have unusual and unique opportunities to show what kind of citizens they are, as they have many chqnces to do the right or the wrong in competition and close play with others of their own age and skill TI The work of this department is valuable physically, spiritually, mentally; it supplements all other work. esign 1 or war An Early American Design HBe sure you learn something every day.

In June and Ianuary Roosevelt is very proud of most of the boys and girls who leave, for they have done conscientious work and deserve what is in store for themt il Class officers are always chosen some few months before school is out and have charge of the serious work of graduating activities. In February the officers were as follows: president, Richard Morgan; vice-president, Bill Sterling; secretary-treasurer, Marion Hunt; prophet, Rich- ard Yohrmorkt; statistician, Luigi Michelon; and lawyer, Bruce Wood. In June the officers for ninth grade were as follows: president, Philip Weingartner, vice-president, Eugene Speck; secretary-treasurer, Betty Duncan,- prophet, Arthur Beckington; statistician, Florence Fitzger- ald,- and lawyer, Ioe Di Giovanni. 11 Honors assembly is an interesting time for those who have done particularly well in some activity or field of work.

The Student Council at Roosevelt is made up of representatives from each of the home rooms. The aim of this club is to promote the general welfare of the school. They, with their sponsor, Miss once, do this work very efficiently and well. Club hour on Wednesday finds them busy planning the work of the week, the month, or the semester. Regular assignments to club members include issuing preschool admits to those who desire to do make-up work or to have conferences with teachers and directing fellow-students in the auditorium before school and during the assembly periods. Now and then they assist in similar work for other group meet- ings. 11 The year the first semester the members were busy before all basketball games, of which there were'a goodly number, with streamers and banners. Now and then they sold candy. As a result of this activity, the club has a tidy sum in the treasury. 11 This year dur- ing the second semester as usual the club members assisted in the Yearbook project by taking subscriptions. Their goal this year was a bit higher than usual, but they achieved it before the publication was out. Because they took the payments in three installments instead of two, they had more bookkeeping and contacting this year. 11 Business meetings for the club this se- mester were under the following leaders: president, Gene Shattuck; vice-president, Bernard Webber; treasurer, Bill Trefz; secretary, Beverly Bowers.

The members of the Boys' Sanitary Officers Club are an energetic, interested, public-spirited group of thirty-nine boys this semester, Who work along Closely With the girls' group and the other service clubs to make Roosevelt a school to be proud of in many, many ways. Each home room, except the 7B groups, is entitled to Cl member in this club. 11 Work for members of the club is outlined and assigned each week Cit the regular club period. For the most part it means patrolling odd corners and out-of-the-woy places around the school to see that careless boys and girls do not litter up these corners with bits of paper, apple cores, qnd the like; it means assignment to duty in one of the three boys' washrooms before class, during passing periods, and CI few minutes after classes pass to see that pupils use washrooms properly, pass by in orderly and quiet manner, and do not throw waste paper around. To keep the school orderly, neat, and clean is the outstanding task of the club members. This is not a glorious experience, but the boys do it with fine spirit and in on easy, efficient manner. They deserve all the credit the school can give them. 11 The business meeting held each Wednesday during club hour is in charge of the following officers: President, Peter Cosarotto; vice-president, Kenneth An- derson; secretary and treasurer, Anthony Barber.

This group is organized and works as do the boys' group for a school that is tidy and orderly. They have their work so planned that duty is a pleasure. 11 The group is organized so that part of the club period is taken up with routine matters and assignment of weekly tasks, but the major part is given over to en- tertainment of various kinds. The specific tasks assigned to girl members include hall duty be- fore school, after school, and between Classes in the girls' locker rooms and in the girls' lava- tories, of Which there are three. Some girls have the bad habit of going to lockers more often than the school schedule warrants, and it is the particular job of the Girls' Sanitary Officers Club to see to it that this does not happen. During club hour the girls have proved versatile and entertaining in a Major Bowes hour with singing, tap dancing, and recitations; with slo- gan hours and question hours; with swimming periods; and in baseball games. 11 Club of- ficers this semester are as follows: president, Virginia Brain; vice-president, Shirley Spackman; secretary, Shirley Howard.

One of the largest and most outstanding service clubs is the Reporters Club, whose work it is to publish Teddy's News every other week during the school year. Club members are chosen from each home room on the recommendation of the teacher of English. 11 The duties of club members are many and varied. One of the first assignments is to collect from each mem- ber of the home room group five cents which goes toward financing the project for the coming semester; once a year each reporter has his Chance with a story; each week assignments of many types are given to club members for the coming issue; on the Thursdays that the pa- per is published, Club members distribute the papers; once a year the club sponsors a play, for Which club members sell tickets, manage the show, and certain others take part in the play. This year Raspberry Red was given to a large and enthusiastic audience, and the club treas- ury was well filled. 11 Business meetings are held on regular Club days.

The Operetta Club is one of the most interesting clubs at Roosevelt, for the members have to present an Operetta each spring. This year 123 boys and girls did a splendid piece of work with Kentucky Garden. an old-fashioned, Southern drama in two acts with many Stephen Fos- ter melodies. 11 The story opens in the garden of the Colonel who is giving a surprise party for his niece, Ieannie. On the ride from which she has just returned, she met a college chum of her brother Phillip. When the lad comes to call and shows too much interest in the girl, he is ordered to leave. In the meantime he has lent Phillip considerable money to meet a debt which will throw him into prison unless he pays it. Stephen Foster is entertained and Jeannie is presented with an heirloom which is recognized to be very valuable by a Hindu magician, who has been summoned to entertain the party. The Hindu makes away with the treasure, but Richard follows him and retrieves it. When he returns it to the Colonel, he finds that the Colonel has learned how he befriended his nephew and is overjoyed to know that he has been forgiven for his Northern ways. 11 The songs, the lovely costumes of the period, the back- groundugreen trees, garden walks, flower gardens, done by the art teachersecombined to make this Operetta one of the most finished, delightful, and enjoyable ever given. Matinee; were given on April 28 and 29, and an evening performance on April 30. Considerable mon- ey was made to be used for stage equipment, costumes, music or whatever may be needed. While Miss Whiting and Fredriksen are sponsors, Miss Golwitzer and many other faculty mem- bers co-operated to make this Operetta a success. 11 Club officers are as follows: president, Marilyn Muth; Vice-president, Barbara Cave; secretary, Margaret Lindquist; treasurer, Alfred Scott.

Boys and girls interested in journalism and With plenty of school spirit sign up for this club. Miss Clark expects to have a first-semester club next year, however, so that plans may be made much earlier and considerable money made with Which to finance some special fea- tures and more pictures. The club sponsored the first semester a play entitled The Ghost Walks and the second semester a faculty play called The Cat's Whiskers. Both were excellently done and drew large audiences. Last year's publication won First Class Honor Rating; this year it is hoped that an All American Will be awarded. 11 The Camera Club assists the Yearbook Club very ably by collecting and mounting the many snapshots that appear here and there throughout the book. Mr. Annis, the sponsor, and his boys deserve much credit for this help- ful service. 11 The members of the Art Club under the able and enthusiastic leadership of their sponsor, Miss Giffen, do much to make the Yearbook alive and attractive. They plan and work hard to put their ideas down in pen and ink in sketches and drawings. The pages on floor plans represent the work of many members of the club this semester. Honorable Mention Especial recognition should be given to Sam Retsinas for his lettering and monogram on the lovely blue cover of this book and for his Ex Libris; to Sylvia Block for her fine drawing for the title page this year; and to Marilyn McLain for the lettering on the division pages through- out the book.

Sometimes this club brings in from the city Speakers or entertainers; sometimes they arrange with special de- partments to put on a program such as Book Week or Pom American Week programs,- at other times they contact special clubs to have cm attractive and interesting hour; and this year they arranged for exchange assembly programs with Lincoln Junior High School. Club members at c111 times have to announce the programs, set the stage, operate the lights, and meet and direct speakers or visitors to the school. It is a club with varied activities, and many find this work very interesting and helpful. 11 The Stagecraft Club has cm important task as well,- they work with Mrs. Dougherty. Club hours find them busy on miniature stage sets, in making sets for spe- cial assembly or auditorium plays, in studying the art of stage make-up, or in helping the Art Club in making posters to announce school activities. This year the outstanding work of the group was the map for the Pom American assembly and the setting for the exchange CIS- sembly with Lincoln, entitled Bimbo the Pirate and directed by Miss Whiting.

Many small boys long for the time when they may join a band. When such are found among the 7B's who come to Roosevelt how happy they are to join up with Mr. Elmquist's group as be- ginners in the seventh-grctde band. As beginners, they learn to play; in the eighth-grade band, they have regular pieces; in the advanced group more advanced work is given, and many op- portunities to show skill and ability are the privilegevof crll. This year the forty-five piece band at Roosevelt, with Robert Spengler as student director, has been busy and in demand for use semblies and basketball games. 11 Each year Roosevelt joins with Lincoln to cheer the mem- bers of the combined junior high school bands for the splendid work they do. These boys played for the Better HomesExposition at the Armory on March 6; before the Lions' Club at a luncheon on March 24; over radio station WROK on April 7 and 28. They entered the Northern Illinois District Band Contest held at LoSalle on March 19, and there received first division, highly superior ratings,- this made them eligible for the State Contest ort Bloomington on May 8; here again they received first division rating. Five soloists and two ensembles received first ratings which entitled them to go to state meet. Five soloists and one ensemble come home with coveted honors. Two spring concerts were also given by the combined bands this spring. Money received from these programs will be used to buy uniforms, music, and other equip- ment.

Their problem becomes greater as the school population increases and congestion in passing becomes more of a hazard, and as automobiles are faster and more in use.

GRAMMAR AND ADVANCED KNITTING CLUBS UN LIBRARY AND BEGINNERS' KNITTING CLUBS The Library Club gives its members actual practice in the use of common library tools, such as the card catalog, Readers' Guide, and various types of encyclopedias and reference books. Members also have an opportunity to examine and read books of all kinds that'are new and interesting. This semester's enrollment is large. ' The sponsors for the club are Miss Esther Kleist, the librarian, and Miss Naomi Eckberg. 11 Beginning Knitting Clubs, sponsored by Miss Olson, Miss Culloti, and Miss Hollem, give practice in all kinds of stitches. Members make neckties, zipper purses, and scarfs. This semesterysixty-seven girls belong to these two clubs. CLUBS FOR THE 7A'S In addition to the Beginners' Band, sponsored by Mr. Elmquist, are six clubs of interest and value to the 7A's. The Collectors' Club, sponsored by Miss Laura Ryan, appeals to those with acquisitive tastes. Great differences in tastes are shown in the variety of collections: ship mod- els, fossils, postcards, silver spoons, historical pictures, autographs, stamps, airplanes, keys, movie stars, bank notes, and the like. Forty boys belong to the Games Club, Which Mr. Ralph Keltner sponsors. The boys play checkers, parchesi, and the like inside, and active games on the playground When the weather permits. Members of the Scrap Book Club, sponsored by Miss Bertha Morse, make scrap books, collect, and Clip all kinds of articles and pictures for mounting in these books, and discuss their various finds with one another. The Leather Craft Club members, directed by Mr. Edgar Van Barriger, keep busy during club periods with proj- ects like leather belts, bill folds, key holders, moccasins, arrow quivers, book covers, and book marks. Many useful and attractive articles are turned out during the semester. The Folk Dancing Club, sponsored by Miss Naomi Owen, gives members an opportunity to learn the dances and costumes of foreign countries. The Cartooning Club, directed by Miss Carolyn Ha- ley, keeps busy collecting different types of cartoons, studying them, learning to draw their own, and criticizing them. Members begin by drawing faces and then work on other parts of the figure. At the close of the semester, they have mastered the basic principles of this interest- ing art.

In the fall of 1936 football was placed on the sports list for the boys of Roosevelt. For some time this sport has been needed, as it is the kind of activity that is best suited to older and sture dier boys of the ninth grade. It is not the desire of the department to make this an intensely competitive sport, but rather to give boys an opportunity to get instruction and drill in the im- portant fundamentals of football. 11 After a suitable period of training practice, games were scheduled for Beyers Field. The opponents at these times included Rockford High School B squad, Rockford High School Lightweight Reserves, and the Lincoln Junior High School team. Judging from the interest and enthusiasm shown by the boys, it was evident that foot- ball ranks as one of the most popular sports on the athletic program at the present time. 1I Mr. Tracy, a coach new to Roosevelt this year, hopes to have a considerably larger num- ber of uniforms to open the season next year, and be abletto give many more boys an oppor- tunity to take part in this game next fall.

The basketball season opened officially on December 11 when Roosevelt defeated the high school reserve team. With the exception of Champion and Anderson, the team this year was made of new men. Midyear graduation took these two to high school. 11 Nine games were played this season. The opponents of Roosevelt were Rockford High School Light Weight Re- serves, Rockford High School 11B squad, Lincoln Junior High School and Winnebago High School. Those games with Lincoln, of course, were the most interesting, because of the great rivalry between the two schools in sports. Roosevelt won the first two games of the season, then Lincoln evened up by winning the next two. The all-importcmt fifth game was played in the Roosevelt gymnasium before a capacity crowd. By defeating Lincoln at this time by a 30-16 score, Roosevelt won the championship, the first Roosevelt has had for many a long year. SUMMARY Roosevelt 15 R. H. S.

Because swimming is a very popular sport at Roosevelt, a large number of boys respond- ed to the call for swimming team candidates. Since every boy trained hard to secure a place on the team, it was difficult to choose the best ones. 11 The city meet this year was held at the pool at Abraham Lincoln IunEr High School. It was a close score, and the outcome was doubtful until the very end. Roosevelt won by a narrow margin, 29-28, and thereby retained the swimming championship for the second consecutive year.1l Another meet was held with Mt. Morris High School team at the Roosevelt pool. Here again the Roosevelt team was victorious with a score of 39-18 SUMMARYeRoosevelt vs. Lincoln , 160 yard relayeWon by Roosevelt iStassi, Monarchi, Hartsough, Speckt.

A well-orgcmized schedule of home-room baseball games keeps the boys on their toes and gives them much practice and a thorough knowledge of the rules of the game. TRACK AN D BASEBALL t86i l87l H Intramural competition in the physical education department includes all athletic competition promoted within the school. With the girls in competition for championships in various sports, the home room is used as an organizing unit. At times the gym class teams are organized by the instructor or by elected captains. In order to create many games for each time round-rob- in tournaments are run for the finals. Such a program includes soccer, batball, volley ball, line soccer, nine court basketball, basketball, long ball, indoor baseball, playground ball, track, and swimming. A captain, elected by the group, and a manager, appointed by the instructor, control the team. Participation in play is absolutely voluntary, but it is assumed that each home room will have a team when the schedule is drawn up. 11 Girls Who are not interested in the games are encouraged to swim after school or to enter dancing, tumbling, and gym periods conducted after school. In the spring such activities as hikes, tennis, golf, paddle ten- nis, shuffle board, and horse shoes were introduced, so that each girl was given an opportunity to learn the rules of some leisure time activity. 11 To know the rules of current games, to be able to organize a group of one's own, to be good followers at times and leaders at other times, to be able to lose the worries of the working day in the care free enjoyment of a real game are all aims and desirable outcomes of the work in physical education, and at Roosevelt each one receives much knowledge and practice. INTRAMURALS Such remarks as I believe that I would like to play if I could but understand the rules of the game or I enjoy the water so much, but I am ashamed to flounder around as I do While I am trying to swim, could not be uttered by the average junior high school student of recent years. 11 As each seasonal sport is introduced, work in class is spent on the fundamental skills and the rules of the game. One must know what he is supposed to be doing in order to play intelligently. Even though the rules are known, appreciation of the skill required and the pleasure to be derived are only discovered by actual participation in game situations, so each girl, regardless of natural ability, is given class work in developing the fine points of the game. 11 In class squads, the number depending on class size and the amount of available equipment, the skills of the various games are practiced. This year instructors have gone to 7B Classes to start teaching the basketball techniques. Because each activity such as swimming and diving, basketball, baseball, soccer, touch footcdl, nine court basketball, line soccer, long ball, batbcdl, volley ball, tumbling ctnd stunts, folk dancing, marching tactics and rhythms, track, and field have their series of particular skills which each player must work upon before the activity is understood, techniques for each one is presented in orderly and systematic manner. FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS t88t t89t Volley ball is used in the physical education department as a regular class activity as well as one of the recreational games for an intramural activity in after-school periods. 11 The game, aside from its recreational character, develops co-ordination, encourages alert thinking and good judgment, produces good leadership, and offers in many ways a clean, wholesome game for adolescent girls in the junior high school. Since the game is played so much more intelli- gently and happily when the game is understood fully, much time is spent on the fundamental skills of volley ball. This involves serving and volleying the ball, practicing the position and rotation of players, and learning the rules of the game. 11 Enjoyment of the game is keen, particularly after the players have mastered the fundamentals. A game which is a very slow, quiet game in the elementary stages with eighth-grade girls, becomes keen competition be- tween superior teams in ninth-grade groups. 11 In this picture are the members of the two teams that came up for the final game this year. Dorothy Livingston, captain, and Irene Mac- Kenzie, Angeline Vincer, Bernice Mumma, Bertha Roland, Elaine Bolte, Mary Vernarsky, Mary Tomasino, and Dorothy Hendricks of room 113 were the winners; the opponents were members of room 224, with Rosemary Swanson as captain and with Ieanne Udell, Barbara Wigell, Betty Sanders, Ieannette Walmsley, Dorothy Wyant, Lois Treadway, Helen Willsey, and Florence Walker as players. VOLLEY BALL I3. inl'l- l.- ale . I'll! I One of the most popular activities of the girls at Roosevelt in the gymnasium classes is the work with the mats. To imitate the animals in various walks and jumps; to turn front and back rolls, hand springs and cart Wheels; to experience that momentous true balance of the first good head stand or hand stand; to dive daringly over several girls in reclining positions and end in a neat somersault; and, in case of the very supple, to be able to do a fish flop or a fish roll are ,all the delight and the secret ambition of girls at Roosevelt. 11 Because many girls are naturally timid, every precaution is taken for safety. The code calls for everyone to relax in a fall in order to prevent serious injury. Beginners are noted for their stiff necks and their strained muscles, but this is overcome when the newness wears 011, and marked improvement in accomplishment of the many stunts is soon seen. 11 Tumbling is one sport that has its phy- siological as well as its physical benefits. The exercises are all of the type that make the blood runfast,stimu1ate perspiration, and aid digestion. With these, the real tonic of feeling alive is bound to come. 11 Those girls who are more advanced in the work are organized into a tumbling team Where they get more advanced work, such as difficult stunts and pyra- mids. These girls from time to time give demonstrations before the school groups in the regu- lar assembly programs throughout the year. TUMBLING AN D STUNTS 1901 HMorality consists primarily in the performance of our duties to our fellow-men. I have time only to touch upon one thing. That shall be Honesty. If all men were honest, we should need no jails or prisons, no bolts nor locks,- no criminal laws or courts. I want all of you to feel that such things were not made for you. When you go by a high fence, built up to keep out orchard- robbers, say to yourselves, lThat fence was never made for me. I could climb the man's fence easily enough; but, thank God, I have a conscience which I have never yet climbed over, and never will.'

A r :wwvxr , ROUND THE YEAR WITH THE ASSEMBLIES Assembly periods are popular with Roosevelt boys and girls. Assembly periods for the eighth-grade classes the first semester fell on Thursday and for the ninth-grade groups on Tuesday; for the eighth-grade classes the second semester on Friday and for the ninth-grade groups on Monday. Each assembly is carefully planned by the sponsors of the assembly club, Miss Blackburn and Miss Snyder, and carried out by members of the club and others who help. Some meetings are definitely educational in nature; others, entertaining and lively; some go to promote school spirit or to honor those who have done outstanding things for the school . . . .

They were very lone- some indeed until they met each other. Hand in hand they strolled around to learn about this business called education. Before long they learned that the office was particularly for bad boys and quiet hours; that the dispensary is the place to be wound and bound; to the cafe- teria to munch on a lunch; and to the auditorium to laugh and learn. They found a big pond where Sally went in wading and Archie jumped in over his head. Soon Sally was learning about jams, pots, pans, and pickles as her little friend tinkered with mechanical toys in the print, machine, and wood shops.

DESIGN FOR A DREAM - THIRD FLIGHT Appreciation and kind thoughts of the staff go to the busy men who assist in the work of publishing our book, and in no small way are responsible for its success and high quality. 11 Our photographer, Ierry Wald- smith, takes our pictures, and has for three years. He has maintained his shop at home until lately, when he moved into Cl studio at 2710 West State Street to meet the growing needs in the business. Waldsmith finds no dull moments; he rides in the clouds and creeps through tunnels to get the spectacular or unusual for the news - of today omd history of tomorrow. 11 Our engravers, Iohnsonl Goodwill, and Allen, artists and photo enng- t ers with more than twenty-five years experience in the work, have a busy, growing shop located at 114-20 South Wyman Street where they have done outstanding work in engraving for our book ever since they or- ganized three years ago. This company takes pride in the quality of work it is able to give its patrons. 11 The Bliss Printing Company, located on Mulberry Street since May, 1915, has done the printing of all Roosevelt's yearbooks, a splendid record. Mr. George Isherwood is proprietor. with Mr. H. C. Bainbridge as assistant; Mr. Martin Peterson, sales manager. Mr. E. C. Schroeder, shop superintendent, along with compositors, pressmen, and book binders, does most helpful and careful work on our publication. o I 1 :1 1t 1. 9- .JEPI; .445 . . 1'420:!? ...ull;Q ..
