ALMOST ANYTHING GOES THE PRIZE IS LAUGHTER CLOSE YOUR LEGS! ROLL OVER ' Come on Terry, move! OVERl These were the cheers you could have heard at Roosevelt ' s Almost Anything Goes competition held from January 7 thru 31st. Friends and fans alike cheered and laughed as contestants ran (wheel-barrel style) armed with marshmal- lows. or rolled in mud until the balloons tied to their bodies popped. Of course they had the traditional pie in the face events. What ' s the reason for all this madness you ask ? This was to see which team would receive the title of Almost Anything Goes champions which this year was won by the group called the Unknowns. But then came the final elimination, to see which ten individuals would represent Roosevelt at A. AG. finals held at Lincoln High School. So at lunch time on the field, the boys competed among themselves and so did the girls. The result being Roosevelt ' s all-star team, who showed true Rider pride at Lincoln, and won the A.A.G. competition, robbing Gar- field of their two year title as A.A.G. champions. They brought home the Almost Anything Goes trophy for the first time. Thanks to Ms. Lee, and all the people in student council, who were the force (organizers) behind the A.A.G. games; Roosevelt students walked away with the best prize of them all laughter and a great time! o.i-:fto ; K SSS SS.. . ii! f -v ■ s, w-w 24 STUDENT LIFE

TALENT BLAST! The second annual Talent Show proved to be more dynamic, powerful and spectacular than the previous one. It consisted of seven powerful and talented acts, each presenting their own distinctive and unique talent. Through the presentation a variety of talent was displayed. This consisted of two prominent local bands Cisco the Electric Sockets and The Sinners which revealed their own creative styles as artistic performers, which included a few soloist, Keith Dorris and Art Salas. An exclusive dancing act called Chocolate Pudding and Pot Luck and a Poem recited by teacher Ms. Navarez. Overall the competition was tough but as in all contests there is only one first prize winner, and runner up. First Prize which was $100.00 went to Cisco and Juan who sang a couple of love ballads by the legendary Beatles. Second Prize went to Cisco and the Electric Sockets who rocked out the crowd with some hot rock n ' roll. Third Prize was awarded to Bad Habit who mellowed out the crowd with a couple of jazzy tunes by Chuck Mangione and Herb Albert. Last but not least Fourth Prize went to The Sinners another rock n ' roll band who proved that they can hang in there with all the rest. This yearly show proves to be rewarding in that it showcases our talent.
