Coach Al Comito and the team join the crowd in cheering as the reserves await their turn to play. Like snowflakes are we, each of us taking a form that is unlike that of any other. We are individuals. We find ourselves confronted with an infinite variety of means of express- ion, and from these we choose the ones that will best present us to the world. From these choices come the soul and image of every Roosevelt student. We find expression in countless ways. We find it in activities that have been organized by others, or if we cannot find it there, we create our own. We spend our Friday evenings at basketball games or folksinging with friends, going to a party or studying for a test. Our week days we give to classes, but also to throwing Fris- bees on the lawn, standing by the window and relating experiences, or attending meetings and making plans for the future. Drama, debate, journalism, athle- tics, music, art, service, student gov- ernment, homemaking...all are areas of interest to which each of us may devote himself totally, or from which we may select a few to make up the total person. Senior Greg Dillavou, circulation manager of the yearbook, smiles as he sorts through the files. 7
