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.

rr The Crucible presents history, moving drama Another page of American his- tory was brought to life by the drama department November 7 and 8 when they produced Arthur Miller ' s The Crucible. Full houses both nights ap- plauded moving performances of the play, which explores the problems that arise when freedom of con- science meets the challenge of in- tolerance. Junior Craig Canine was an un- compromising John Proctor, willing to go to the gallows rather than confess to a crime for which he was guiltless. Student director was Val Ander- son, and Mr. Roger Anderson was the faculty sponsor. THE CAST Betty Parris Rev.
