1978 was an exciting year for Roosevelt. Our debate team was first in the state, and several members went on to Nationals in the summer. Our jazz band was also outstanding. But this is the story, in words and pictures, of an event that unified the entire school. We begin our story as the Roosevelt Roughrider boys basketball team entered the state tournament. The games were played at Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Vice-Principal Jerry Curnutt sold tickets, the de- mand for which increased as the competition progressed. Mar 4 - is J. Then came the action. The starters felt the burden of 1200 students on their backs as they dribbled down the court. Coaches and other players sweated it out on the sidelines, the latter nervously waiting for their chance to go in. The cheerleaders led the crowd in ceaseless support for their team. 6 Tournament Story
