    Description

    vintage roller skating patch Rita Rollers Chicago 1940's about 8 x 9 inches
    this was from a school skating club jacket from St. Rita
    connected with a Chicago Catholic boys’ school, Saint Rita of Cascia.
    from their 1947 yearbook  "
    The reason for the existence of any club is the good of its members. If it does not offer to its members advantages and opportunities for the betterment there is no reason for its existence.
    The Rita Rollers organization offers its members social, cultural, and physical advantages. Roller skating is a good, wholesome, exercise for boys and girls. The parties conducted by the club give the boys an opportunity to meet good Catholic girls, and to associate with them in a clean and spirited form of entertainment. The cultural value lies in the refining influence that association with the gentler sex has upon boys."
