So, I wanna laugh while the laughing is easy I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile. Opportunity. It ' s there for those of us who want to reach out and take it. More now than ever before. With more clubs and interest groups we have an opportunity to become involved with others who share our interest. We have the opportunity to touch others: To teach them to learn from them and to work with them. To help someone with a special problem or a friend who can ' t figure out a math problem. We have the opportunity to effect our future. By the clubs we choose to join— Student Council, International Club. Girls ' Club— we can change what is to something better. Most important, we have an opportunity to care; we can laugh or cry or love— to feel. To care about a football game or Homecoming Queen or an election or the people around us. We have the opportunity. It ' s there.

Rock Around The Clock is homecoming theme Nostalgia. The recent trend back toward the days of butch wax, rock n ' roll, and scoopin ' the loop was given an extra shove Saturday, September 29. That was the night of Roosevelt ' s fifty-first homecoming festivities. Co-ordinators of the dance, Valerie Russell and Lori Gruber, chose a theme typical of this return to beach movies, hot rods, and when playing hookie meant you were going fishing; Rock Around The Clock. Balloons filled Roosevelt ' s auditorium Friday during the Girls Club traditional homecoming assembly as Chris DeMarce was crowned the fifty-first homecoming queen by co-captains of the football team, Craig Schoeder and Mark Sloan. The homecoming football game scheduled to be played on Friday night against the Tech High Engineers had to be rescheduled to Saturday night because of rain. This was the first time in Roosevelt ' s history that its ' homecoming game had to be post- poned. Despite the rain and lack of traditional homecoming ceremonies, the Riders scored a 28-8 victory over Tech. Roosevelt student council presi- dent, Cath Carpenter and All-City Stu- dent Council president, Joel From presented Chris and her attendants to Chris DeMarce rei ns uver the 1974 huinecuining ceremunitis. |iih(?
