Roosevelt revives spirit ren ais sance (ren’ -sans’, zans’, British r -na’ s ns) n. 1. A rebirth; revival. 2. A revived intellectual or artistic achievement or enthusiasm. Roosevelt had Its own renaissance during the 1985-86 school year. The senior class united the underclass, and, with the help of their adviser Robert Rose, led Roosevelt to a new level of school spirit. This new level of school spirit was inspired in part by exceptional sports teams, such as the volleyball, boys cross-country, and football teams, all competing in state tournaments. Student turnout and participation at these games was the best in years even when the team was playing at an opposition’s home game. Credit should also be given the parents of Roosevelt’s students. They showed a revival in interest in their students, even planning an all-night graduation party. Teachers livened up the atmosphere at Roosevelt by wearing maroon and gold on pep-fest and game days. English teacher Mary Brockel even tested her students on the school song. The renaissance in the world’s history lasted over 100 years. Perhaps Roosevelt’s Renaissance will last that long, too. 4 Introduction
