Shout out to Roosevelt
students
Proud members of the commu­
nity have given a shout out to the
students at Roosevelt High school
for their many accomplishments
they achieved this year.
Over 86 percent graduated from
the senior class, which received $4.3
million in scholarships to continue
their higher education.
Extracurricular achievements by
Roosevelt students include the
school boasting one of the top rugby
teams in the state and students in
the drama department, which won a
state competition, as well as a sum­
mer invite to the International Thes­
pian Festival.
Roosevelt has also received a
grant from Mt. Hood Cable Regula­
tory Commission that will provide
each student with new technolo­
gies to connect with online curricu­
lum, interactive study tools and
grade and assignment tracking.
The upcoming year for Roosevelt
is also looking bright with the in­
crease in freshman class enrollment
rising from 160 members this year to
250 next year.

Part 25. Chiropractic and Fitness:
The way to wellness in the eighties
1 continue to hear that
diet and exercising are help­
ful in maintaining a strong body.
But where do I begin? There is so
much literature and when I ask my
doctor he seems unconcerned,
-low can I get started?
t : A good way to begin is
with the basics. Since 1895
Chiropractic has been the leader
in teaching the basics of health to
our society. Good health must in­
clude proper nutrition. A general
rule of thumb is that foods high in
fiber are best for you. Limit your
meats and refined foods as well as
alcohol. Get plenty of exercise. For
most people it only takes an hour or
! so a week to stay fit. Walking at a
brisk pace with good arm swing is
excellent. Rest is paramount. Every­
one feels better after a good nights
sleep. In Chiropractic, we will often
recommend relaxation exercises as
well. Have a joyful spirit. Scien­
tists know now that our attitudes
actually affect our entire chem is-
try. F in a lly , alw ay s keep a
healthy nervous system. C hiro­
practic is especially suited for
u n d e rsta n d in g the e ffe c t of)
stress on the nervous system
and how to elim inate it. Total
fitness can be only a call away
and worth so much more than
just another pain prescription.
Isn t it time you stepped up to
safe effective Chiropractic?
