Class night ceremony recognizes scholars Seniors wound up their years of study at Roosevelt on May 15 with their last final, and those who had excelled during those years were honored that evening at the an- nual Class Night. Pam Oldham and Shelly Rollison head- ed the event at which honor cords for those in the upper 3 and 15% of the class were distributed as well as dozens of scholarships and other achievement awards won by seniors. Superintendent Awards for one student in each department were awarded. Principal Bruce Gardner, in his last year at TRHS, had a few words to say to the seniors as did class president John Kalainov. Class vice- president Susan Guthrie carried out the traditional pas- sage of the big stick, transferring the authority to the re- presentative of the junior class, Joanie Heggen. Susan was also the winner of the Cress Hoyt award, given each year to the senior who was of outstanding service to TRHS. Following the ceremony, the seniors and their parents proceeded to the cafeteria where they enjoyed refresh- ments and exchanged congratulations.

Class says aloha at Senior Breakfast If an unsuspecting soul would have wandered past the Roosevelt cafeteria in the early morning of May 16, he would have witnessed an unbelievably rowdy bunch of seniors decked out in Hawaiian attire, munching fresh fruit, and enjoying the music of the famous Third Rate. No, the natives weren ' t getting restless, it was only the 1980 Senior Breakfast! Chaired by Julie Boyle, Charlotte Hemminger, and Caryll Petre, the event was one of the seniors ' last chances to have fun together before leaving TRHS. The theme of the function was We ' re Gonna Go Hawaiian, and was carried out all the way from the palm tree and tissue flower decorations to the fresh pine- apple, strawberries, and bananas served. While the seniors enjoyed the food, the chairpersons of the event entertained them by reading the winners of categories in a senior poll distributed to the students a week earlier. Categories ranged from Who Had The Best Party (Jim and Joe Coy) to Most Likely To Succeed (Steve Walters and Kristin Kalsem.) Roosevelt ' s own amateur rock group Third Rate was also present, and delighted the some 350 students and teachers with selections such as Co- caine and Rapper ' s Delight. Afterwards, the seniors proceeded to Line of March practice in preparation for graduation, now only three days away! Top left. Jack Sullivan lets the ape in himself come out as he devours his banana.
