With hopes of a good season, Mr. Thornton explains some football tactics to interested Ken Cooper os Luann Veltri tries to understand. Lacking enthusiasm, sun tanned students again register for classes. Look at me! exclaims Angela Muhlhoff to AFS student Armagon Kural. Summer ended with unbelievable abruptness as almost 1500 RHS students once again found themselves in the mad rush of fall registration. On the following Tuesday, school became a dreaded reality as somewhat apprehensive classmates fumbled with lockers, judged their new instructors, and tried frantically to conform to the new system of bells. A break in the busy day was provided by an orientation assembly at which time rules for the ensuing school year were explained. The social whirl on campus was initiated later that week with the Girls' League—sponsored Big and Little Sister Tea. Held in the new Commons Building, the Tea gave senior girls an opportunity to meet their sopho- more little sisters and munch on cookies and tangy punch. Roseburg High was extremely fortunate again this year in having two foreign exchange students. Angela Mulhoff of Germany was sponsored by the independent Christian Youth Exchange. American Field Service selec- tee Armagon Kural left Turkey, her native country, to live one year Ln the United States.

Mr. George Gratke, local banker, stirs enthusiasm for the game. Excited by a week of unending activity, the ASB clubs rallied to make Homecoming 1965 the best ever. Key Club painted an old jalopy in the purple and white colors of South Eugene and sold swings with heavy sledge hammers. Campus musclemen, and a few senior girls, eagerly spent their dimes for four chances at demolishing the old relic. Their motto was the lower the car, the lower the score —for South Eugene. Mr. Irresistible was the money-making contest sponsored by the Pepsters. Intense competition saw the RHS girls putting coins in the jars designated for seven handsome boys. Lucky senior Darrell Elliott was crowned Mr. Irresistible at the downtown rally and was presented with a tall trophy of foil-covered cans. Shortened classes on Friday gave all students the chance to participate in a serpentine over town for the annual downtown rally. Mr. George Gratke was this year’s speaker and gave an arousing pep talk. With wild cheers, the students made it known to downtown merchants who would win the game. Homecoming ended happily with the Girls' League dance after the football victory. Live music was provided by the Caminos, a combo from the U of O. Tall tee-pees helped portray the chosen theme, Pow-Wow '65, to the many students and alumni attending the dance. The shiny crown of Mr. Irresistible is given to Darrell Elliott.
