Roosevelt celebrates 50th homecoming The highlight of Roosevelt ' s 50th homecoming was the crowning of Kris Goddard as the 1972 Queen. Amid hundreds of balloons, Doug Reichardt and Paul McGarvey, co-captains of the football team, placed the crown on Kris ' s head at the traditional Girl ' s Club homecoming assembly. After the skit was presented, the Roosevelt Mimes were announced winners of the Krazy Kake contest, and Roger Soener was named winner of the annual teddy bear give-away. November 3 marked the date of the Rider ' s homecoming victory over Ankeny, 14-8. Roosevelt students, de- spite the cold temperatures, paraded through the streets in brightly decorated cars to the Valley stadium. During half- time, while 500 blue and white helium balloons filled the sky, student council president, Steve Procter, presented Kris and her attendants to the crowd. In the homecoming court were seniors Beth Beals, Lisa Berry, Carol Bolton, and Leslie Gerdes. Junior Katy Joyce and sophomore Kathy Stuart were elected underclass attendants. Spirits were high at the homecoming dance the night following the game. The dance, sponsored by the student council committee, was held in the Roosevelt gym amid blue, white, and gold decora- tions. The theme of this year ' s dance was Our Golden Year, and enter- Kr.s Goddard, elected homecoming queen on November 3, 1972 by the sen.or class, tainment was provided by the rock group reigns over Roosevelt ' s 50th Golden Anniversary.
