Odin lights Riders ' fire for homecoming Homecoming 1968 was highlighted by a bonfire, crowning of a queen, football game, and homecoming dance. October 3, the Project, Planning and Evaluation Committee of the Student Council sponsored a bonfire. Igniting it was Odin, portrayed by senior Chuck May- nard. October 4, football captain Chuck Blaskovich crowned Patty Dunning, Roosevelt ' s 1968 homecoming queen, in a pep assembly. Senior attendants were Sandy Brown, Ellen Teigland, Cathy Webster, and Dyanne Webster. Junior attendant was Jane Dunning and Marcia Fitzgibbon was sophomore attendant. Hoover High School was Roosevelt ' s homecoming victim as the Riders downed the Huskies by a score of 15-7. Patty was presented to the student body with her court in the traditional heart formed by the march- ing band. Saturday night The Quarry entertained couples at the homecoming dance held in the boys ' gym. The gym was gaily decorated in blue and white flowers and bright ribbon by the Student Council Social Committee. Graduates of Roosevelt were also present at the dance. Eager and spirited, Roosevelt students gather ' round the homecoming bonfire. Kindled by a victory-seeking Odin, the bonfire ignited the homecoming activities. Somewhat astonished, yet poised and regal, the 1968 Roosevelt homecoming queen, Patty Dun- ning, is presented to the student body in the traditional pep assembly. Chuck Blaskovich is her escort.

Fall council initiates new ideas and projects Fall Student Council combined a trial revised dress code, two ADC parties, and new election proced- ures to give Roosevelt students an eventful semester. The Student Council, headed by Grover Hahn, president; Tom Liljedahl, first vice-president; Brent Walker, second vice-president; Linda Miller, secretary; and Bob Waldinger, chief justice, successfully ini- tiated various projects involving the school and the community. The Community Service Committee sponsored the traditional ADC picnic and Christmas party, the March of Dimes Air Lift, and a bread sale. It also papered and painted a house in the Southeast Bottoms. Voting machines were introduced by the Election Committee and Roosevelt sports calendars were sold by the Finance Committee. The Historical and Special Days Committee fea- tured a Teddy Bear give-away commemorating Theo- dore Roosevelt ' s birthday. The proceeds from the 25-cent raffle tickets helped furnish closed-circuit televisions for the school. This committee also joined the Public Relations Committee in arranging trophies in the new trophy cases. The trial revision of the student dress code allow- ing girls to wear skirt-like culottes was an example of an efficient Student Council ' s efforts to make the constitution a working document. The Best Committee Chairman Award went to Phil Spevak, chairman of Election Committee. The Best Homeroom Representative Award was given to sophomore Lisa Trowbridge.
