Boost School Spirit Roosevelt’s Pep Club gathers on the school steps. A tense moment in the game shows the strained faces of members of the Pep Club. Red feathers brightened up the stands at every athletic event this year. The Pep Club were wearing their feathered hats proudly as they turned out to support the teams. In February the club sponsored Pep Week under the direction of Ellen Mc- Dermott, president; Barb DeBoer, vice president; Gail Tedford, secretary; and Mr. Francis Welper, adviser. Each day the school honored a different sport. The highlight of the week was Odd Day. Students dressed in “odd” costumes, and a prize was given for the most original outfit.

Cheerleaders, Pep Club Charlotte Kersey Marti Virtue Barb Buelow - Captain (1. to r.) Jackie Roesch, Julie Stewart, Pat Adair, Ann McClelland, Tamara Eberle, Mary VanBlack. With a hearty GO! FIGHT! WIN! the Roosevelt cheerleaders led the school in supporting RHS athletic teams. Even in a year when the teams had few victories, the girls practiced hard and did well in their drive to raise school spirit. Working with their sponsor, Mr. Emile Gosseaux, the girls pre- sented pep assemblies before home games and put on the Home- coming Pep Rally. With the money they earned by selling pennants and sponsoring dime dances, the cheerleaders arranged a dinner party at Weber’s for themselves and Mr. and Mrs. Gosseaux. Carol Congdon
