Y 12 V 1 222 aa aaa sea aaa . by Shari Nicolau ' The Academic Challenge team, which competed on WEWS TV 5 Nov. 18 during a half-hour broadcast, brought home a victory against op- ponents Chanel Bedford and East- Lake North highschools. It was a great victory for the team and the school and an experience I'll never forget is the way academic challenge teammate Raga Elim de- scribed the match. Roosevelt was ahead for a majority of the show and finally won with a score of 330 to the other teams' 120 and 90. Questions asked during the match covered such subjects as Math, Sci- ence, English, and History. The team prepared for this by making up ten questions each night and quizzing each other the next morning at prac- tice. Further outside research was also done by individuals to further prepare themselves for the match. Under adviser Majorie Davis, the team consisted of Seniors Raga Elim and Ioel Lander, Iunior Debbie Kehle and alternates Senior Rob Orndorff and Iunior john Lockhart. W-x 1.

So, You Want to be a Big Booster! 1. Doing jumping jacks in the middle of the atrium are Freshman and Sophomore girls being initiated. 2. Girls chant the Fight Song - together. 3. Debbie Clawson, Beth McNeil, Patty Belknap, and Ioan Iackson attempt to get their kick line together. by Beth Collins A boost of spirit was shown through the 1978 Booster Initiation, where 110 girls of the Freshman and Sophomore classes were inducted into the RHS Booster club. The addi- tion of the Freshman class has not only meant a greater membership but has given the club more pep this year. The girls dressed in red and white blouses and shashes over their shoulders. Face makeup consisted of red lipstick and freckles on their cheeks. They also Wore their hair up in ponytails with red bows. This was completed with white bobby socks and black and white saddle shoes. Their initiation consisted of getting 50 signatures of Booster members. The initiates were told to kiss senior guys and run around the cafeteria singing. They were not allowed to look in a mirror or comb their hair all day. Q - '
