Roosevelt High School 1977 Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN) - Full Access

SENIOR MEMORIES Roosevelt High! When we first came as Sophomores, it seemed so big. Being lost in the halls, and getting put down by Juniors and Seniors was something everyone could understand. Our first home- coming and we did "Hang Henry High". Everyone learned from, and of course enjoyed, the driving simulator. Then as we moved on up to our Junior year, we were proud that we could now put down the Sopho- mores. Another homecoming, and again we won, "Pushing the Polars North". The Bicenntenial year we were all surrounded by Red, White and Blue. Our wrestling team took away the six year city championship from Edison and by a large margin. No one could ever forget all the wonderful things we learned in health, from changing a band-aid, to delivering a baby. And with all this behind us, we then looked forward with anticipation to our Senior year. Hurrah! Now we were on the top, the leaders of the school. We were the class president, Senior Ex- ecutive Board, chairpersons for all events, Homecoming, Winter Sports Day, and May Day kings and queens. And as the days sped by so did the months, leaving us with the memory of "Corraling the Cowboys", Sadie Hawkins, L'll Abner Reid and Daisy Mae Linda, and the girls volleyball team taking third in state. Then, along came Christmas, with our last two week vacation. Upon returning to school, we were brought to the realization that graduation day was steadily sneaking up on us, with the ordering of Senior announcements and the measuring for caps and gowns. As winter turned to spring, our thoughts turned toward our final days. They went by fast, taking with them May Day, Prom, and Senior Banquet. As the last few days sped by, we reluctantly turned toward graduation, overlooking the fact that along with the tears and goodbyes, we were leaving the security of one life to start another. Soon, thirteen years of school will be but a memory. A memory that will stay with us the rest of our lives. W. Nelson M. Ekblad
