P. Ramsefh, who has so faithfully served our school and community for 11 years the senior class dedicates the 1958 Cardinal. As athletic director, Mr. Ramseth has helped Redwood Falls High School gam local and statewide prominence in the sport world; as principal, he has established a school curriculum and disciplinary system which ranks with the best in Minnesota. Products of his guid- ance and training have distinguished themselves in higher levels, giving him great cause for satisfaction amid the trials of a busy school life. Whenever something is to be done, Mr. Ramseth lends his leadership and skill and often a rare sense of humor, characteristic of his relationship with the students. Mr. Ram- seth is truly deserving of all recognition as a scholar and leader in education. —2— John Hoopner Mrs. Harold Niemann A. G.

Like a captain navigating a ship. Reede'Gray, our highly esteemed and worthy superintendent, represents Red- wood Falls High School. He is ever hand- ling the ocean of problems which arise daily in the administration of our school. Assisting him is the dependable Board of Education composed of Mrs. Harold Neimann, Dr. William Inglis, Robert Reisinger, John Hoepner, Donald Tiffany, and Arthur Seifert, president. They have assembled in conference throughout the past year in their efforts to guide our school along the channels of the most recent and up-to-date meth- ods of American Schooling. Working to- gether they have weathered the storm well, making endless decisions and cop- ing wisely with insurmountable prob- lems. GEORGE RAMSETH: St. Olaf College, B. A.: University of Minnesota, M. A. Athletic Director, Principal. ’ C. O. HALVORSON: Luther College, B. A.; University of Iowa, University of Minnesota; Assist- ant Principal, Mathematics, Golf Coach. Our Administration Familiar faces to us students are those of Principal George Ramseth and Assistant Principal C. O. Halvorson. They are responsible for the day to day clock-like functioning of our junior and senior high school. Athletic directorship, dance supervision, and Student Government Day are but a few of their responsibilities along with the maintaining of the regular curriculum of our school. Everyone working with these men realizes how genuinely interested they are in student problems and are always responsive to the wish- es of the students. We can only try to appreciate the endless services they render us. MURIEL ANDERSON: Secretary to the super- intendent. ELEANOR PALUCK: Secretary to the principal. —5— Sitting, left to right: Gloria Mattiello, Jim Barnes, Karen Kretsch, Mr. Merrill Pederson, Ted Hoepner, Jo Sales, Carol Huhnerkoch. Standing: Tom Swenson, Merlin Scharfe, Paul Ramseth, Keith Hawton, Ronnie Boys, Barb Cairns, John Horejsi, Faith Arndt, Pat Oberembt. Student Council Under the helpful supervision of Mr. Pederson, the 1957-58 Student Council set high goals and worked hard to meet them. This organization represents the entire student body, governing itself and classmates in accordance with tradi- tional laws of co-operation between pupil and faculty. Extra-curricular school activities, which includes dances, concessions, and lyceum programs, add to the ever-increasing demands for the well-rounded school life this organization promotes. In addition to the iight, recreational aspect, we find the council pushing the March of Dimes and clothing drives, and publishing our guide, THE STUDENT HANDBOOK. By the distribution of this booklet to all high school pupils, a code of duties is so set up as to give equality to all students, and understanding between them and advisors. With this goal reached, the curricular school life is kept at an even keel through the eyes of the student by the council he has selected. The officers are: President - - Karen Kretsch Vice President - - Ted Hoepner Secretary-Treasurer - Joanne Sales The three Standing Committees and their chairmen are: Social, Ted Hoepner; Lost and Found, Barbara Cairns; Program, Ronnie Boys.

Always ready to help with that impossible algebra problem or to explain the pesky English courses, or even to listen with patient ear to the heartaches and hurts of each student, is a varied personality com- monly called, a teacher. But their activity never ends at the classroom nor after 3:30 and refresh- ing cup of coffee, in the cafeteria. There's always a volunteer needed to chaperon a bus trip or dance, and advisors for clubs and evening extra- curricular events. This is our faculty, the hard working teachers who mold the charac.er of tomorrow's citizens. -10- SENIORS We Struggle With Homework . .

We, as seniors, feel that we have reached the pinacle of our high school career — that of being at the top. We have attained not only knowledge but a whole-hearted and spirited co- operation among the members of our class. With each year of high school came new responsibilities and challenges. As freshmen, we took care of the bonfire; as sophomores, the Homecoming pins. In our junior year, we were in charge of the Homecoming Dance, and we also produced a very successful class play. These past years have been of great value to us, but our senior year is the most important and memorable. During this last year we have engaged in numerous activities. We presented the class play, published the yearbook, and sponsored various other projects. Many of us have been friends and com- panions for years, but with the strains of the familiar Pomp and Circumstance, each will find his own road. Redwood High School has done much for us. It's preparation has been full and complete. Our instructors have taught us to take lesponsibility and achieve results. Now, having completed our last year, we will go on toward success with the thought that high school days are the best days. Boy And Girl Staters Selected on the basis of leadership, scholar- ship, and character, these two juniors were chos- en by ‘heir classmates to attend the annual Boy and Girl State Convention held in the Twin Cities last June. Al Krueger and Phyllis Zielsdorf spent a week studying local, county, and state level government, participating in elections of officers in the respective areas, taking part in State Capi- tol sessions, and meeting many other Staters, This project is sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary and is held to acquaint students with government through its actual practice in State Capitol sessions. —26— Al Krueger.

This year started with a flurry of activity as we planned the Homecoming Dance, and soon afterward put on a most successful class play. We became leaders in many organizations, all the while expressing our abilities of cooperation and learning, even better, to work for the good of an organization. As the biggest class in high school, we felt our undertakings should be big in success, also, and proceeded to make this so. We sponsored projects to raise money for our final goal when we become seniors, and tried to make everything we do worthwhile. In sports, we feel we've done our part, as we have many good basketball players and base- ball players. Most of all, this year we've learned to cram 24 hours a day of activities into about 10 short hours. With all the experience we've received this year, we feel we are qualified to take over where our seniors leave off. —29— First Row: Nyleen Fennern, Mary Goblish, Richard Hansen, Gerry Canaday, Jayne Christopher- son, Jean Ahrens, Renee Berberick, Mary Ann Goblisch.

Our boys shone in such sports as wrestling, basketball, football, track, and baseball, and our girls were there cheering them on to victory. Our first year of senior high has been a mem- orable one, and we look forward to the undertakings of the next two years. Seated: Stan Dunn, Paul Ramseth, Betty Vierling.

Our last year of junior high was filled with the hustle and bustle of activity. Members of our class participated in football and basketball plus track, golf and baseball. We even had our own special Freshman Choir and took an active part in Declamation. Our class provided much of the membership in our enthusiastic high school pep club. At the close of the year, we sponsored a successful Freshman Day, and as we withdrew the green sash of the greenhorn, we now eag- erly look forward to our place in Senior High. —35— _ .

Eighth Grade: Eager to Move Ahead As the “middle class” of the junior high, we participated in activities even more than last year. We have a basketball team, several of us are in wrestling and junior high track, and many of us are in second band. We were very active in many organ- izations, and feel we succeeded in doing our part in carrying the responsibilities of our class. We are proud of our accomplishments and our class as a whole, but hope to do even better in the years to come when we take on more and more responsibility.

New faces with confused frowns on them as we tried to find our various rooms among so many. We were surprised at the many clubs we could join, and the activities in which we could participate. Pep fests were new to all of us as were the dances, some of which we helped plan. It was a big step for us from grade school into junior high, but through the year we became accustomed to our new routine, and with the experience we’ve gained this year, we look forward with confidence to next year when we shall move one step higher in the climb to becoming seniors. —37— Foreign Exchange Students Gloria Mattiello A. F. S., or the American Field Service, is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to fur- ther the understanding of people of the world. Starting in 1944, this program has expanded until last year 453 students sailed for America. On the ship came Gloria Mattiello — 16 year old Italian exchange student from Naples, Italy. Gloria lived with the Ed Donner family for one year, learned to speak English fluently, and en- riched the lives of her American classmates by introducing us to the customs of her country while learning ours. As her stay drew to an end. Chuck Reed, she looked forward to a tour of the United States before returning home. To make the exchange program complete. Chuck Reed, Redwood Falls' ambassador to the Netherlands spent six weeks in Europe with two families. Like Gloria, he had been carefully elect- ed on his qualities of character, leadership and scholarship. A. F. S. teen-agers such as Chuck and Gloria have found that basically people are the same the world over, and that all nations strive to ac- complish the same things. —38— Seated: Kathy Tenney, Jeanne Hillger, Hollis Matson, Sharon Westerlund, Liz Vierling, Kathy Hengel, Carolyn Simondet, Sharon Squibb, Doreen Donne� .

The scurry and shuffle of meeting dead- lines, the hours spent cutting and pasting, and the time taken composing copy and selling ads are all represented in this yearbook, a reminder of the nine school months students have just com- pleted. This year's staff under the supervision of Miss Harris, and co-editors, Sharon Squibb and Carilyn Simondet, has used our school song as a theme, and successfully carried it out from cover to division pages. Candid shots of students throughout the Cardinal have made it possible to show students as you will remember them. The Cardinal staffers give to you, the stud- ents and faculty of Redwood Falls, this yearbook. We feel that through it we have presented to you an interesting record of memorable events that comprise our '57-'58 school year.

In the spring of the year, with the help of Mr. Jensen, participants select pieces and then memorize them to be entered in the local, district, region, or even state contest, de- pending upon a judge's decision. Speech is one of the best activities for the development of poise, personality, and an asset in college and social life. 2— Camera Club: A Shot In the Dark First Row: Larry Pedersen, Butch Read, President; Dick Otto.

FHA, The Redwood Falls chapter of the Future Homemaker's of America is indeed a busy group, eager to carry out their plans of endeavor in the field of homemaking. Their activities number a great many, they sponsor numerous money- making and worthwhile projects. Each girl has a little sister in the junior homemaking depart- ment and they work diligently toward any of three goals: the Junior Homemaker Degree, the Chapter Homemaker Degree, and the State Home- maker Degree. The biggest social event of their year is the foreign student banquet when the ex- change student is honored.

One of the high- lights of the year was the pancake supper when everyone got delicious “athlete flipped flap- jacks. The money earned from this project help- ed buy them a much needed whirlpool bath. Throughout the year they carried on various ac- tivities besides their monthly meetings, two of which were ushering at sports events, and spon- soring a carnival in March.

By the sale of footballons, cheering mittens, pennants, sweaters, and various other projects, the club provided free transportation to games for all its members. Not as large as last year's club, but equally as ambitious, the goal of the Pep Club is to create school spirit and a keen sense of good sportsmanship. Cheerleaders: A-Squad— Sharon Barnes, Caren Fletcher. Lois Zaske. Morale Boosters Win or lose these peppy girls are always on their toes. Combining fast yells and chants, they lend a spirited atmosphere to lift the team's mor- ale. Two of the girls belong to the Lettermen's Club and eventually all will become participants.

Senior Chuck Reed Defying all predictions of a poor season, the virtually all-new 1957 Cardinal eleven came through with a much-better-than expected record Although the season started off with a loss to a good St. James team, the squad, led by co- captains Al Krueger and Chuck Reed, and sparked by an undying will to win, went on to take four of the eight games, and a 4-3-1 record. Homecoming this year was a big event, as the team finally broke the losing streak of past Homecomings. With the close of the season, the players chose, at their annual banquet, the Most Valuable Player of the Year, Chuck Reed, with Al Krueger earning the Best Offensive Player title and Jim Barnes becoming Best Defensive Player of the year.

Fast Breaking Cagers Provide Many Thrills The 1957-58 Cardinals got off to a shining start this season, with a straight win record be- fore Christmas. During the holidays, however, they were caught off guard by Sleepy Eye, and were subjected to their first loss of the season. Not too heavy laden with height, the cagers were aided by the return of two veteran starters, Al Krueger and Chuck Reed, who both contribut- ed a great deal of good playing. Coach Phil Hall had many opportunities to worry, for the Cards won their first three games by a very slight margin. Then they began build- ing up the scoring record, with the aid of 6'4 junior Jay Kessler. Hall's cagers finished the season with a substantial won-loss record and brought much statewide honor lo the school in doing so. The Cardinals were seeded second in their district after much worry about a loss to a good Granite Falls team.

Al Krueger, Les Peterson, and Jeff Johnson teamed up in defense of the Region III crown, and Les and Al went to State, thus ending a suc- cessful season.

Diamondmen Strike for Redwood 1957 With the first positive signs of spring came the cries of “Play Ball!” “Strike Three!1’ “Kill the ump!” and it is fairly obvious that baseball season has come again. Under the watchful eye of Coach Thompson, the team, who lost most of its regulars because of graduation, came through with a .500 season, and should do even better in the years to come. Redwood at Sleepy Eye lost Springfield at Redwood lost Redwood at Morgan won Lamberton at Redwood won Sleepy Eye at Redwood won Redwood at Belview lost 4-0 3-1 13-1 13-1 10-3 9-8 Sprinters: Not a Second to Lose First Row: Stan Dunn.

Though the Cards never quite sprinted their way to the top, they did place second several times. They have good prospects for an excellent team in 1958, and they follow an unbeatable motto: If at first you don't succeed; try, try again. The B-team, incidentally, took several honors at the district meet and had a successful year.

They led the Homecoming parade and stepped lively in the Back to School parade in August. Each year they journey to a neighboring town and take part in the annual spring festival. this year held at Sleepy Eye. They also trade con- certs with oiher bands and present to their own private public, a concert. They have acquired a new director, Mr. Zschunke, who has enthusiastically taken over the many duties left him by the departing John Berg. No matter where they step they know they're sent with the good wishes and proud sup- port of the community they represent. — 66— First Row: Joanne Sales, Sharon Okland, Kathy Tenney.

Ready with music for all after-game dancers, this lively crew of eleven calls itself the dance band. This year the band purchased a drum set and then spent the year paying for it. The members played for most of the school dances with varying degrees of accuracy and success, and occasionally stepped out of town for a Homecoming or prom. All in all. the 1957 58 dance band’ers helped make it an enjoyable venture.

Discord In Practice Boys Octet The high school choir has, after two years, made the little theatre its permentant rehearsal hall in which it meets three times a week. The choir is gradually learning to blend and harmon- ize, in its transformation to an outstanding a cap- pella vocal unit. Under the able direction of Mr. Grender, the vocalists performed at the Armistice Day and Christmas programs, and gave concerts at the Music Festival and spring concert. Tenta- tive plans were made for the St. Olaf Invitational Sing at the college. Seated: Mr. Grender, Director Standing: Larry Strauss, Bill Geffrey, Chuck Reed. Paul Ramseth, Ken Oberembt.

That was the goal set, and reached, by the students of RFHS, who donated through the aid of candy sales and the Ugly Man contest. Lanky Willy Lucas was crowned at the March of Dimes Sweetheart Dance, and at the same time home- rooms which contributed the most were awarded honor plaques. For the last few years RFHS has raised much money for the promotion of polio vaccines and help for victims of the disease, and 1957-58 was certainly no exception. SECOND BAND The Second Band was extremely proud of itself when, after practicing for main hours they were asked to nlav in the Homecoming parade. In addition to this, they performed for the entire assembly, an indication of hard work and constant practice. dl,u By next year some of the members will have graduated to the first band, but the work here will be remembered as a step in the long climb to the top. cu JoAnneeWheelerW: E,,en H°|Z Betty Asleson Bev Stancer.

The first step in the hustle and bustle was the organization of all the various committees, by our industrious Student Council and the first task completed was the selection of the slogan, MAKE MARSHALL- MALLOWS by the sophomores. The festivities started on Thursday night with the traditional snake dance winding its way through streets and alleys and finally slinking its way to the athletic field for the climax of the evening. The bonfire with the able help of the freshmen proved to be the biggest of them all. There was enthusiastic cheers and introductions and interviews were taken from the coaches, the team, and the queen candidates. Friday dawned a beautiful day and destined itself for one of Redwood's greatest Homecom- ings. The day was sparked in the afternoon by an entertaining little program, followed by the suspenseful coronation of Queen Karen Kretsch. A pert brown-haired, hazel-eyed 17-year-old, Karen is the third to emerge royalty in her fam- ily. Her attendants were Kathy Hengel, Janice Fennern, Joan Myers, and Shirley Vierling. Following the coronation, the Homecoming parade got into full swing. Led by the high school band it wound ist display of clever floats slogans, and queens through the town and was also hon- ored with a visit from the Marshall Marching Band. The juniors copped first prize in the dis- play of floats, and the freshman and eighth grad- ers were runnersup. It kept spirit foaming for the oncoming game. At eight o'clock the stadium of Memorial Field was packed, and the game began. If ran true to form until the half. Then the fans were given a colorful break. Entertaining them were Marshall and Redwood bands in an intricate dis- play of footwork. The Cards were rewarded as Al Krueger brought in our winning touchdown, breaking the jinx in losing by a score of 14-6 against Marshall. While everyone was still in high spirits, the evening was climaxed by a most successful dance to the theme of Moonglow sponsored by the juniors. 1957 Homecoming was certainly our greatest year up to the present. —75— Christmas Ball: Low Lights And Snowflakes Only a few days were left before Ihe Christmas Ball, and organized confusion reign- ed .. . committees were winding up their various duties of decoration, entertainment, and publicity; and of course, there were dresses to be chosen and suits to be pressed. At last the big night arrived. Students came to a gym marvelously transformed into a Winter Wonderland and were treated to the music of Vern Schmidt, which incidentally was a new experiment that seemed to work out very well. A floor show added to Ihe entertainment, and all in all, the 1957 Christmas Ball was a memorable occasion. —76— Sitting: Lisa Anderson, Patsy Tiffany, Joanne Sales, Sharon Okland, Karen Bjerke, Cynthia Good.

Tom Swenson Washington Slept Here Chosen to be the 1957 junior class play was George Washington Slept Here. This selection and that of the casting of the 17 characters for the three act comedy was made by our experi- enced director, Mr. Hannah. For five seemingly short weeks before Octo- ber 28 and 29 the committees and play cast ground away. The selling of tickets, publicity, the problem of finding costumes and properties, and learning the art of make-up were passed to vari- ous committees who handled their jobs efficient- ly. The stage managers, plus the set designers filled their job of taking care of scenery excep- tionally well. The days scurried by with lines still to be learned and many arrangements still to be made. Three weeks, two weeks, finally only one week left. Then, the flu bug bit. One by one, cast mem- bers and committee members started dropping out of practices. But, the show must go on and on it went, without a dress rehearsal and no prac- tices for almost a week. Climaxing the weeks of hard work, we step- ped out into the footlights Tuesday, October 29, to proudly present the play to parents and friends. Thus ended the junior class play which now holds many pleasant memories for all who help- ed to make it successful. It will be long remem- bered by all who couldn't sleep, as George did, while watching the lively action in George Wash- ington Slept Here. —77— Grapplers Cop Third In The State This season the wrestling team got off to a good start by winning eleven matches before be- ing defeated by a powerful St. James team. Not so mighty in the high weight levels, the team was supplemented by the extremely good lower classes. The wrestling team was bolstered by the return of many lettermen and state winner, Har- lan Leopold. After a large turnout of prospective wrestlers, coach Virgil Sales predicted a prosper- ous season. Wrestling became a major sport in our school and we did see a very good season of wrestling. Mr. Sales, Jim Barnes, (4th in state) Roger Zeug (4th in state), Harlan Leopold (3rd in state), Doug Corn (3rd in state), Bernard Kretsch (2nd in state), John Kretsch. To Walnut Grove Cagers Second Co-captains Chuck Reed, left, and A1 Krueger receive the runnerup trophy from W. E. Susens, Morton superintendent and district committeeman, and Elwell. Seeded second in District 10, the Cardinal cagers lived up to their pre-tournament expecta- tions and that was all. They defeated Franklin and Gibbon to earn the right to the semi-finals in Gustavus fieldhouse. In an extremely close game the Cards defeated an inspired Sleepy Eye 62 to 56 but succumbed to the defending cham- pion Walnut Grove to the tune of 56-50. This page contains the book possible.
