Rebirth of spirit for homecoming A blue and white hot air balloon was lifted into a clear fall sky over Hutchins Stadium as homecoming queen Barb Renneke was escorted onto the field during halftime cere- monies of Roosevelt ' s 1975 home- coming game. Homecoming activities began early in the week of October 13-18 with a homecoming sock day, twin day, hat day, and color day. The homecoming assembly, which was held Thursday afternoon, included presentations by the band, Mimes, and cheerleaders. Balloons filled the Roosevelt auditorium as Barb and her attendants, seniors Sue Hufford, Jackie Easley, Anne Koch, and Cris Cunningham were presented to the crowd. Junior class attend- ants were Betsy Phillips and Anna Cage. Betsy Teigland served as sophomore class attendant. An unmatched Rider spirit pre- ceded the homecoming game with a car rally of approximately 40 cars stretching for half of a mile. Kay Tannatt and Cris Cuning- ham co-chaired the Homecoming Committee which organized Roose- velt ' s Once in a Lifetime Thing dance in the boys ' gym Saturday, October 18 from 9 p.m. to midnight. Couples were entertained by the Pelican Peace Band. Above: The glowing face of Barb Ren- neke surveys a spirited crowd after her coronation at the assembly.
