Randolph High School - Cardinal Yearbook (Randolph, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1981 volume:

Times lUc left Behind OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE There are no days like the good old days, — The days when we were youthful! When humankind were pure of mind, And speech and deeds were truthful; Before a love for sordid gold Became man's ruling passion, And before each dame and maid became Slave to the tyrant fashion! There are no girls like the good old girls, — Against the world I'd stake 'em! As buxom and smart and clean of heart As the Lord knew how to make 'em! They were rich in spirit and common-sense, And piety all supportin'; They could bake and brew, and had taught school, too, And they made such likely courtin'! There are no boys like the good old boys, — When we were boys together! When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet That dimpled the laughing heather; When the pewee sung to the summer dawn Of the bee in the billowy clover, Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will Echoed his night song over. There is no love like the good old love, — The love that mother gave us! We are old, old men, yet we pine again For that precious grace, — God save us! So we dream and dream of the good old times, And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder, As those dear old dreams bring soothing gleams Of heaven away off yonder. by Eugene Field Raymond Weyhrich-Vice President, Good things come in small packages ' Conley Seyl-President, I'm not afraid of work, I could sit right down beside it.

Our freshman year started with elections of class officers, along with getting used to the first year of mandatory typing. A number of accomplishments were achieved during our last year in junior high and our first year in high school. With the help of our class sponsors, Mr. Bradley and Mr. List, our first and last Homecoming float entitled Looks Like We Made It, received second place honors. We persuaded the faculty and administration to allow us to have a 9th grade swing choir as well as our very first year of Girls Basketball. The highlight of the year was the trip to Lincoln to the Nebraska Sports Center with the Boys Basketball Varsity Squad. During our sophomore year, Randolph started the tradition of the Homecoming Window Painting Contest. The Homecoming theme was Walt Disney Characters, and we won 1st place with the title Flower Agrees, Skunk the Warriers. Our class contributed alot to the athletic department that year with the winning of a number of trophies which included 3rd in the Pierce County Volleyball Tournament, 1st in the Pierce County Girls BB Tournament, 1st in the District Track Meet, along with a few other wrestling trophies. Six of our class members were chosen to be members of the National Honor Society. They were Mark Stevens, Brett Rissler, Bob Stueckrath, Mary Tunink, and Sheryl and Sharon Whitehorn. Kathie Backer and Tony Gubbels were chosen as the Sophomore Sweetheart Attendants. Sheryl Whitehorn was announced the Voice of Democracy Winner. Julie Pflanz, Shelly Poppe, Monica Eddie, Shelly Strathman, Brad Johnson, Conley Seyl, Jim Kruger and Don Leiting were chosen as waitresses and waiters for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. April brought the most exciting time of the year for us as sophomores, with the ordering of our class rings. We chose an appropriate theme, The Class With Class, in the mounting of our rings which carried with us throughout our high school years. As juniors, we were involved in a busy year in which many plans needed to be made. Our first project was to sell magazines to the community. Margaret Pentico, Mary Tunink, and May Isom were the top three magazine salespersons. Sweetheart Ball was the highlight of the beginning of 1980. Junior attendants chosen were Monica Eddie and John Bloomquist. Jean Koehler was announced as Girls Stater and Pam Brunssen as her Alternate. This year the Ag. Mechnics team of which Roger Tunink and John Thelen were a part of, placed first at District and third at State. Shelly Strathman was a new Inductee into the National Honor Society. On May 3rd we proudly presented the seniors with the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Monica Eddie was chosen to reign as Prom Queen under the theme of, When Will I See You Again. We ended our year by eagerly enrolling for our Senior and final year at Randolph High School. In August, 56 of us returned from summer vacation to begin our last year at RHS. The memory books we started passing around could not hold the events and accomplishments of this year. Our class chose an appropriate Homecoming Window Theme which carried on throughout the year. Through a misunderstanding our outstanding window entitled, Another One Bites The Dust was not judged. Since we were now at the top of the ladder, it was our turn to initiate the freshman into Randolph High School. All the seniors enjoyed that day as well as the day of Homecoming in which we were bestowed the spirit stick. We received this honor for finding all of the spirit clues during the week where the cheerleaders had hidden them. The excitement of the day continued into the dance, with the theme, The Last Dance, when Mark Stevens and Tracy Borst became King and Queen. Our Senior class decided to sponsor a Spook Dance to raise money for our contribution to the new trophy case. The second semester came with the ordering of our announcements, thank-you's, class keys, and other keepsakes. Our fellow classmates Doug Nordhues and Rose Schmit were chosen as King and Queen of the FFA and FHA Sweetheart Ball. Our nights continued to be busy since the number of Seniors were preparing for the all school play, Hilbilly Weddin'. Brad Johnson was chosen Best Actor. Dan Stevens and Kathy Helcing were chosen as best supporting Actor and Actress. Sports produced a very successful year for us. Shelly Lackas and Tracy Borst were selected All-Conference for volleyball. Scott Kruger, Brian Moore, Conley Seyl, and Brad Johnson were All-Conference for football. Basketball season took us all the way to Lincoln to the State Tournaments to receive Championship Honors. Shelly Strathman and Tracy Borst were named to a number of special teams, conference as well as State. Jim Kruger was also named to the All-Conference Basketball team. In wrestling, Scott Kruger came back to Randolph with a gold medal and Dan Stevens with a silver. Track season brought forth many winning smiles as the girls won 1st place at the District Track Meet, with 4 events going to State. Honors kept rolling in as Sally Lange placed 5th at the Business Contest at Wayne, Raymond Weyhrich received the Best Student Manager Award at RHS, Susie Korth attended the State Speech Contest, Julie Pflanz was awarded a superior at the Music Contest in Wayne, Sheryl Whitehorn was the recipient of the John Philip Sousa Award, and Sharon Whitehorn and Brett Rissler received the National School Choral Award. Finally prom rushed in and took over the scene. Invitations were received and everyone waited happily as Don Leiting was crowned King. It began to become very clear to us, that the end of the year was coming and we couldn't turn back again. Our class decided to have one more adventure together which consisted of 10 carloads of seniors headed to Norfolk for a 'Mac Attack.' We turned in our school books, cleaned out our lockers for the last time, and waited to receive our diplomas. Even though our last 9 months together are over, we remember our special unique experiences this year has brought: our trip to Lincoln for the State Tournaments, the bringing home of many trophies, our trying to make the honor roll, and our few days together as a class. We have enjoyed our last year of high school life as the Class of 1981. We have experienced a full year at RHS making decisions about colleges, future careers, getting ready for graduation and finding jobs. After 13 years of school from childhood to adult, we are now ready to face the world outside. As Freshmen we followed, as Seniors led, and now we begin again a life on our own. High school has played an important part in our lifes and our class has been very active in various sports and organizations throughout our years, preparing ourselves for our life ahead. The time is now upon us the Senior Class of 1981. We must begin to think and act upon our future plans. The opportunities open to us are numerous and challenging. We are capable of doing whatever interest us in way of careers and occupations, but the important question is; will we develop our ability to our potential; or will we graduate and fall into the dull, uninteresting routine of getting up morning after morning and spending our day at the unemployment office or in the welfare line? Therefore, IT IS NOT SO MUCH WHERE WE STAND NOW, BUT IN WHAT DIRECTION WE ARE MOVING.

Spirit was shown by the student body through the spirit hunts, window paintings, and fun-filled days. October 3, 1980 finally rolled around. Excitement filled the air during the pep rally held on the main square. To add to the joy of this special occasion, the team trounced over Neligh, 27-13. The highlight of the evening was the coronation. When looking back in time, what more of a perfect memory could they ask for!! Front Row: Queen Tracy Borst, King Mark Stevens.

The students in these classes have put in a combimed total of over 2,900 hours on their projects for this year alone. The efforts show that many of them will become excellent craftsmen in their near future. Artist And Home Economists Learn New Crafts Some of the projects accomplished by art students were pencil drawings, pencil sketchings, charcoal drawings, pottery, embroideries, artex paintings, macrame, and many others. The Home Economics class acquired new skills in sewing garmets and in constructing model homes. Jr 4 ' fS: « |S3s They Deserve The Credit Picture 1.

Kathy Helsing added to the show with the song FOR ALL WE KNOW which I am sure was dedicated to someone very special to her. Tammy Whitehorn and Shelly Stratton were appropriately dressed in long formats and with that heavenly look as they sang ANGEL OF THE MORNING. 10 The Mixed Chorus is captured during a rain storm but really brightens everyone's day as they sang SINGING IN THE RAIN. The Quartet of Sharon Whitehorn, Sheryl Whitehorn, Margaret Pentico, and Kathy Helsing relived the days of G.l. entertainment and gave a chuckle to everyone's evening as they sang BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY. Above. Here are five of the twelve Junior girls who told a story of what a mother would tell you on what not to do during the twelve years of school. Some of the advice was: not to wet your pants, not to play with matches, not to pick a fight, not to wear high heels, not to pick your nose, not to play with make up, not to smoke, not to drive a car, not to go out parking, and not to drink. Below. The variety Show ended with a very funny act put on by another quartet of Shelly Poppe, Moni Eddie, Julie Pflanz, and Rhonda Graf. The song was selected from the very famous Pointer Sisters as they got on down to one of their hits of HENRY DON'T EAT NO MEAT. They were later met on stage by Henry, who was Kevin Keifer, playing the clarinet. The Variety Show was enjoyed by many as they came to see all the fine entertainment and displays. This was the second year Randolph has had a Variety Show and I am sure it will be in popular demand for many years to come. The High School Jazz Combo rocked into the show with a selection from Spiro Gyra called MORNING DANCE and another song called NIGHT NIGHTS. 31 Student Council Is In The News Front Row: Sandy Lange, Joan Loberg, Carolyn Bierschenk, Janice Berner, Dee Sohler.

Membership in the National Honor Society is both a honor and a responsibility. Membership is a strong reference to a student's character and provides an incentive for consistent academic achievement and service to the school. Recognizing students who excell in school by electing them to membership is as significant today as it was in 1921 when the first National Honor Society chapter was chartered. The Society embraces high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character which are bound in a moral ethical frame work. By using these four traits, National Honor Society Members help to center the many negative forces in schools today. Eligibility is open to students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelveth grades of any school with a National Honor Society chapter. Students may not apply for membership; they are selected by a faculty council. Through the years millions of students in more than 20,000 public and private schools have been selected as members of the National Honor Society. These students have met the high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character that maintain chapters of the National Honor Society. Not only have they lived exemplary lives within their schools, these honor students have continued to be motivated by the challenging ideas of the Society. National Honor Society members in their life indicate the continuous and almost limitless development of the great potential capacities and talents of those who receive recognition and encouragement by their election to become effective contributing citizens engaged in professional, technical, humanitarian, civic, military, commercial, and skilled artisan work. Many of the names, if given, would be readily recognized as known and distinguished individuals. Therefore, we salute all those who have gone on to distinguish themselves in the eyes of their fellowman, ever-living up to four ideals scholarship, service, leadership, and character for which they were recognized in high school through election to membership in the National Honor Society. Mr. Ray Schnell is the sponsor for National Honor Society, school advisor, and he enjoys camping. 36 FBLA Is Moving Out And Up Picture 1. Shari Rissler- Business-Horseback Riding. Picture 2.

Last But Not Least: The Yearbook Staff This year's yearbook staff dedicated alot of time and effort into this unique annual. It is not just a bunch of pages put together but rather a special book. The theme, The Times We Left Behind , signifies exactly what the 1981 annual is all about. It is a history book in which each page was carefully planned and designed to contribute a special part to the outlining of the entire book. Even though planning and organizing an annual is alot of hard work, this years annual staff had alot of fun times, also. The surprise Christmas party may remain in the memories of a number of members, as will the 3rd place Homecoming window, and the money making projects such as the concessions and cake raffles. The 1981 Yearbook Staff should be commended on their outstanding annual as well as reaching their goal of purchasing their very first camera. It is an Olympus OM 10 and will enable them to take pictures of better quality. The annual staff hopes that the annual will bring smiles to all those who read it as they recall with happiness the memories that are gone forever but are locked in the hearts of many as well as in this book. They would like to say a special thanks to the teachers, coaches, and the student body for all their cooperation and help without them the yearbook would not have been possible. And yet, the annual staff deserves alot of credit for their part in the making of this annual. They decided to finish out the book by carrying out the theme, The Times We Left Behind .
