Many activities fill Homecoming week; Cindi Abrams receives queen honors The week of October 25-29 was designated Homecoming week and was filled with activities including sock day, blue -white day, hat day , jersey day, and the mum sales. The highlights of the week, however, came at the end with students gathering in the auditorium for a jubilant pep assembly led by enthusiastic cheerleaders, mimes, Riderettes and the band. Senior Cindi Abrams was crowned Homecoming Queen by the co-captains of the football team. That evening, in spite of the constant rain, a car rally led Rider fans to the Williams football stadium for the Homecoming game against North. Julie Sandler was the winner of a gift certificate for the best decorated car. At half-time, the Queen and her attendants were escorted around the field in antique cars to accent the theme Just An Old Fashioned Homecoming. The dance was held the next night in the gym. Seniors Sara Froyd and Shelly Stetson and junior Sue Zuckert planned the dance. The group, arranged by Don Hoy, played music from the big band era. Homemade ice cream and cotton candy were sold in some of the booths to create an old fashioned atmosphere.

Madwoman of Chaillot proves a worthwhile challenge ' The Madwoman of Chaillot, presented November 12 and 13 in the Roosevelt auditorium was a technical as well as theatrical challenge for the Roosevelt Drama Department. This play was written by the well known French writer, Jean Giradoux. High school students have rarely presented this play since it involved two completely different sets and a large cast. Jane Voigts held the lead role as Countess Aurelia. The other three madwomen were portrayed by Leesa Christensen, Cathy Riddley, and Heather Stanfield. Mr. Holcomb was in charge of the set design, as well as other technical aspects of the play. The director, Mr. R.C. Anderson, felt that the difficult roles were portrayed extremely well by the cast. He said that the overall production was a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Above: Jane Voigts intrigues Leesa Christensen and Heather Stanfield with her plans.
