MATILDA JOHNSON SAGA OF OUR DAYS CHAPTER ONE As we walked through the halls of Roosevelt for the first time, many thoughts filled our minds. We realized that we would be spending the major part of our next four years here and we hoped we would like every- thing about the school and readily be accepted. We saw many strange faces, and searched the crowds for at least one familiar one. We felt lonely but soon understood that most of the other new students felt the same way. We became much more comfortable as the days turned to weeks and the weeks became months. We were introduced to many clubs, among them, the Spanish Club, the Newman Club, and the Hebrew Culture Club. The boys were invited to ioin the Fencing Team, Rifle Team, and many others. Time flew by and then the big day came. We got our first High School report card. For many of us the results determined how much allowance and how many dates we would have during the next few months. Typical reactions heard through the halls were, lt's impossible! I don't believe it! He failed me! This term brought another proud event into Roosevelt's history. Our principal, Miss Mary Clare Callan, was awarded the 1961 citation by the United Cerebral Palsy Association. The entire school took great pride in this honor. lt seemed that the former Pep Squad wasn't too peppy at basketball games, so they were given a boost and called boosters. Now, our boosters give a real boost to our team at basketball games. Our first term at Roosevelt was coming to a close. lt had been an event- ful term which gave us an idea of what our life at Roosevelt would be like. We were all looking forward to inter-session, and then to our new classes. Inter-session was like a second Christmas vacation, because we lucky fresh- men had no Regents to study for. Lourdes Trujillo
