George Peak, the 1973-74 Odin, courageously defends Roosevelt. Odin raises spirit Who is Odin? What does he do? It started eight years ago when the Roosevelt students decided they needed another force behind them other than Old Teddy Roosevelt. ' Thus at a pep assembly before a Dovy ling game of yesteryear, Odin was unveiled. Odin was originally the god of storm among the Southern Germanic people, and rose to a position of great leadership in the Norse pantheon. George Peak, a senior was chosen the 1973 Odin by the football cheerleaders. I really enjoy being Odin. It ' s an experience because it gives me a chance to participate without being a jock, a Riderette, or in the band, says George. Commenting on Odin ' s function in relationship to school spirit Katy Joyce, co-captain of the football cheerleaders said, I think that he should try to promote spirit for the crowd, and just help us out. He ' s really our mascot. She continued George does a great job because he seems to enjoy what he ' s doing and he spreads his overall enthusiasm. Mark Macpherson, Paula Vance, and jack Tow were the grand prize winners of this years Krazy Kake Kontests. Odin 17
