| Clever use OF art work has en-
abled Roosevelt High School Ia
make success Of every campaign
it has undertaken this year.
Roosevelt, according to Shirley
Turner, one of The Junior Stars
correspondents there, topped all
District senior high schools in the
Red Cross drive" and is "the leader
among District schools in the sale
of War Bonds and Stamps" And
an important factor in the success
OF these and other campaigns at
Roosevelt, Shirley says, has been
the many unique displays" de-
signed by the schools art students.
under the direction of their teacher.
Miss Norma Bose.
One of the most novel of all the
displays is described by Shirley as
"a large paper jigsaw puzzle tank"
made for use in the Fourth and
Fifth War Loan drives. 1t is set
up-or, rather, is being set up to
keep pace with the sale OF bonds
and stamps-in front of the school
bank.
Each section of the school Is
represented by a piece of the tank"
Shirley explains. Each section has
been given its piece and when 1t
reaches its quota. 500 student, it
will put its part in place. The
assembled tank viii represent $780,
600, Roosevelt's quota in the two
campaigns. The Fourth War Loan
Melted $4,000, and when the full
quota for both drives Is reached It
will set standard for all high
schools in the East"

Another campaign at Roosevelt
was to round up books for wounded
servicemen in Walter Reed and
Naval Hospitals Posters designed
by Miss Bose's pupils brought In
242 volumes.
Equally good results were obtained
in a drive to collect phonograph
records for servicemen's clubs. A
display created by Fred Powell, who
has since graduated, inspired stu
dents to turn in more than 100
new records, along with many old
ones.
OF some of the other work Of the
art pupils, Shirley says:
Displays were made for such
interhigh sports as football, basket
ball and baseball, to keep q record
OF the games won and lost by
Roosevelt. One display, near the
gym corridor, was In the form of
bowling game. Each pin repre-
sented an tnterhigh team and the
ball represented Roosevelt. When
Roosevelt 'bowled over another
school, the pin representing the
loser would be knocked down.
To remind students to keep the
lunchroom in order, a large display
was made of a cowboy swinging a
lariat. The rope writing said, Take
them trays back, pardnerr"
The artists who made the dis
plays are Nancy Ferneyhough, Bar
bara Schwartz, Phyllis Saider, 10
Alice Lowrey and Jean Casanova.
