Band gives added spirit to TRHS Many hours of practice paid off as the band, Riderettes, and Flag Cadets worked hard again this year, adding to the spirit of Roosevelt football and bas- ketball games. The marching band, sponsored by Mr. Robert Bagley and led by drum major Joe Kingkade, consisted of 80 members. The 36 Riderettes were headed by Claire Schweiker. The band performed a combined show this year with the North band. Other activities included a show at Drake in November, and a winter concert with the orchestra in January. The pep band played at home basket- ball games with occasional performances by the Riderettes, and their traditional stripper act.

Varsity Cheerleaders promote spirit Cheerleading is more than yelling, jumping, and making signs. It ' s learning, working, projecting your excitement and your smile ' explained Varsity captain Sibyl Kauffman. These 12 girls cheered at more sports events than any previous squad. With the addition of girl ' s sports to the Des Moines schools, the cheerleaders led spirited fans at girl ' s swimming and basketball games, as well as football games, boy ' s basketball, and boy ' s swim- ming meets. Besides cheering at actual games, the cheerleaders had many behind the scene activities. After spring try-outs, the squad had summer practices four times a week. Secretary Mary Cunningham was in charge of locker decorations used each week along with posters, streamers, and balloons, to promote team spirit. Varsity Cheerleaders.
