Jarleth Q. Roche GREEK FESTIVAL St. John's Greek Orthodox church, 2350 Dempster, Dgs Plaines, invites everyone to enjoy its annual three-day Greek Festival, June 17-19.

Open until midnight nightly, admission is free Friday and there will be a small charge after 5 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Any knowledgeable sports fan knows who won the last Super Bowl. But, how many sports fanatics know who won the last Halloween Bowl? Or, who won the last Thanksgiving Bowl? Jarleth Q. Roche knows. So do the children who attend St. John's grade school in John- burg. And to the children who participated in the Halloween and Thanksgiving "Bowl" games, the outcome is a heckuva lot more important than whether the Oakland Whatcha-ma-call-its or the Minnesota Who-dun-its claimed the National Football league title. St. John's own "bowl" games are the brainchild of Mr..- Roche, who masterminded them to add more significance to the touch football "season" at the school. So, you didn't know St. John's has a football season? Well. Staff photo by Wayne Gaylord Story series by Jeff Bona to thanks to Mr. Roche, the school has a baseball season also, all completely organized during the lunch hour during the school year. For the past three years, Mr. Roche has come out during the noon hour, and worked with the children, baseball or football, depending on the season of the year. The volunteer work is something both Mr. Roche and the children look forward to. "Actually, I think the kids do more good for me than I do for them," he said. "They provide me the opportunity to par­ ticipate in the things I enjoy, and if the children learn something, that's wonderful too." Mr. Roche began working with the children from St. John's after he moved into the PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8, 1977 Johnsburg area from Park Ridge. He lived in the Chicago suburb for 19 years, and spent the previous part of his 69 years in Chicago. . For 45 years, he worked in the sales department of Inland Steel in Chicago. "We'd get off of work at five o'clock, and then head out to Comiskey park to watch the White Sox." he said. (Earl Walsh. are you listening?) "I've been a White Sox fan fbr as long as I can remember. "My ambition was to become a major league baseball player." he« explained. "I played in the minor leagues, but as I was working my way up through the minors, the depression struck. "During the depression, minor league players were living on sandwiches and pop, so I made the decision to get myself a job and leave baseball! "I don't regret that decisiorl" After leaving the minor leagues, Mr. Roche worked for the steel company, but also played semi-pro baseball. "I played with several semi- pro teams," he said. "I was a rookie with the Logan-Squares and our pitcher was Hippo Vaughan," who earlier had been a pitcher with the Chicago Cubs. "When I played with the Mills team, Paddy Driscoll played with me." Driscoll, of course, went on to greater fame as a football star. As for working with children, the time spent at St. John's is nothing new to Mr. Roche. "It's something I've done my entire life," he said. "When I was in Chicago, I was very much involved in the same way. I headed up a CYO there with 300 boys and girls. Working with the children at St. Bartholomew, Mr. Roche had the opportunity to coach several athletes before they reached their prime. "I'Ve had six of them go on to become major league baseball players," he said. Presently, he is coaching and managing a little league team in the Johnsburg Youth league. Alas, as he has learned throughout many years of competition, you can't win them all, and his team, the Tigers, is looking up at the rest of the six-team league from five fathoms down. Besides his coaching and managing, Mr. Roche still finds time to get into the games himself. "I still go to Park Ridge, and we have a bunch of the old timers who still work out. I'm 69-years-old," he said, "and I pitched my last semi-pro baseball game when 1 was 61-a full nine-inning game." , Often athletes who work together for a period of time become associated with one another. In that respect, Mr Roche and Terri are not unlike 4he famous double play com­ bination of Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox. While Jarleth and Terri never turned a double play oh the diamond, it is probably only because Dobermans aren't allowed in the games. Off the field this man and dog are inseparable. One of Mr. Roche's most satisfying experiences was that he played, with semi-prd teams, in both Wrigley field and Comiskey park. He also is the proud owner of a plaque given him by the Moran Shamrocks semi-pro team for six years of service as manager. , All in all, the world of Jarleth Q. Roche is a very rewarding one. Oh yes, Who won the last Super Bowl, Halloween Bowl, and Thanksgiving Bowl? The answer to the firsf question is the Oakland Raiders. The Halloween Bowl and the Thanksgiving Bowl* were both won by the fiftH grade team at St. John's. Of course!
