It was the first year for a girls’ Little Okaw Valley Conference and for girls’ state tournament play. The Rajenes were undefeated during their regular season of ten games to capture the first LOVC basketball title. The Rajenes’ hard work gave them a victory over Bement in the sub-regional and led them to the regional to face Areola for the championship game. The Rajenes bowed to Areola in the last 11 seconds as Areola’s free throws were decisive. This loss to the Purple Riders was the only one for the Rajenes. The girls hopes were not to be dampened by the loss to Areola. The next week the girls fought back to capture the LOVC tournament title by again beating the Bement Bulldogs in the championship game by a score of 38-21, as the Rajenes finished their season with an impressive 16-1 record. Mr. Ed Noffke who decided not to continue coaching completed his career with a two-year record of 26-4. The JV also had a good season ending with an undefeated status of 10-0. The varsity members are pictured above in new black uniforms: Rhonda Anderson, Diane Dick, Rita Burchardt, Melodie Eagan, Jayne Noffke, Lisa Alexander, Tina Rod-maker, Pam Owens, Pam Sanders, Debbie Owens.

Jack Chesney, in love with Kitty Verdun, and Charley Wykeham, in love with Amy Spettique, invite the young ladies to their rooms for luncheon to meet Charley’s wealthy aunt from Brazil. However, Charley receives a telegram from his aunt stating that she will not be able to make it after all. There must be a chaperone, or the girls will not be able to stay to luncheon. The problem is solved by forcing a fellow student to portray Charley’s aunt. All goes well with “Charley’s aunt” being kissed by the girls and proposed to by the older gents until the real aunt suddenly shows up. Eventually the comic confusion ends in the happiness of all. The cast of Charley’s Aunt were as follows: Jack Chesney..........................................Bob Smith Brassett....................................Todd Hamed Charley Wykeham..........................Brian Henningsen Lord Fancourt Babberly........................David Beery Sir Francis Chesney.................................Randy Harshbarger Kitty Verdun.....................................Rochelle Tankersley Amy Spettigue...............................Robin Canull Stephen Spettigue...........................Mike Logsdon Dona Lucia D’Alvadorez......................Janet Reeder Ela Delahay.......................................Cristal Henningsen Also instrumental in the play were various committee and crew members.
