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(?

The 1973 Fall Student Council started the year off with a retreat, September 22 and 23, at the YMCA camp in Boone. ' The retreat was a great success, said president Cath Carpenter. This was the first time a retreat was open to all student council members. Altogether we had thirty sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Mixing fun and serious work, the group dedicated themselves to getting more students involved in council and in reaching more by offering a variety of activities and student services. The social committee, headed by Lori Gruber and Val Russell, over- came the elements and a rainy game to have one of the best Homecoming celebrations ever. Duane, Dick and the Jive Five provided appropriate 1950 ' s music for the dance. The social committee also pulled off a successful Sophomore Mixer. A coin-op(jrat(ui juke box in the student center brought income for council pr()j(M:ls, as well as popular music. Not so succtissful was the morning c()ff(Mi proj(jct, which died from a lack of both c()ff(M) (Irinkf rs and coffee makers.
