A classroom full of children at Roosevelt Elementary School watch attentively as an adult male, possibly the teacher, conducts a lesson on pedestrian safety in April of 1925. He is holding up a large illustration of two boys who have apparently hitched a ride on the back of a wagon and are in the process of leaping off, right in the path of an oncoming train or trolley.

Seven small children stand in front of the massive Roosevelt Elementary School, 3550 E. Roosevelt Ave., on January 12, 1928. This was the second building on this site as the original structure, built in 1904, was sold and removed upon the construction of a new brick building in 1921. Roosevelt Elementary was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt. The second Roosevelt Elementary would be subsequently remodeled and added onto in later years. BU-11341
