From the St. Roch’s student journalism page in The Paper, December 1977. Original student wording and bylines are preserved; Marj Weir’s accompanying introduction explains the classroom project.
St. Roch’s sports this year have been very good. The seventh and eighth grade soccer team have had a 4-0-1 record early in November. The fifth and sixth grade team have also done a superb job with a 2-0-1 record.
The thing I found to be interesting was the number of girls playing on the younger teams. I talked with some of the girls and I thought that they like soccer pretty much. I would like to see more girls playing on boys! teams.
In the lower grades the fourth and third grade team had a 0-1-3 record. One of the best teams was the first and second grade team with a 4-0-0 record.
The basketball Christmas tournament are coming up and they should be very exciting.
