FRON'I ROW: Jerry Ahrens. Sieve Melges, Ricardo Petry, Ivar Kaardal. SECOND ROW: Mr. Scholl, coach; David Block, Rick Schlapkohl, Paul Schell. Petry Enters State Ricardo Petry, AFS student, was a valuable addition to the tennis team. Ricardo advanced to state competition. The 1966 tennis team became the most successful team during the school year and the most victorious in RFHS tennis history. Coached by Mr. Scholl, the team was undefeated at the end of the regular sea- son and was destined to win even greater glory. At the District 10 tournament in New Ulm, RFHS came out on top and brought home its first trophy. Ricardo Petry, however, as number one in the dis- trict, was the only man to qualify for the Region 3 tournament at Hutchinson. Throughout the season Ricardo had never lost a set—everyone was backing him. On June 3, the day of Commencement, Ri- cardo single-handedly attained a first place tie for Redwood with Glencoe. Still the “team” was unde- feated. In the state tournament, however, Ricardo suf- fered his first losses and missed that trophy. It was a great year for tennis, though, and not a bad year for Brazilians either. 22

Cards Set New School Won-Lost Golf Record Fore! The Duffers are on the loose again. The 1966 Cardinal golf team was one of the two bright spots for RFHS in athletics sharing the spotlight with the tennis team. The golfers posted a brilliant 18-1 won-lost record, and they set a new school record. In the Conference meet the Cards toured the last nine holes in 146 strokes topping the old record of 149. Before faltering in the Region, the team has won the Southwest Conference championship and the District 10 trophy. The Cards qualified five men for the Region Three meet: Steve Walling, Dave Stanton, Craig Laberee, Jim Larson, and Brad Berberick. Steve Walling was district medalist. In the Region, how- ever, the Cards lost to Hutchinson, a team which they had beaten twice during the regular season, once by 17 strokes and again by 7 strokes. But the Cardinals has a bad day, and wound up more than ten strokes off the pace. Senior Steve Wall- ing and junior Brad Berberick qualified for the State golf meet which was held at the University of Minnesota. Shooting a 162 for 36 holes, Walling placed twenty-third in a field of 78. Steve was also the second highest finisher from Region Three. Members of the 1966 golf team include: SE- NIORS: Craig Laberee, Dave Stanton, Steve Walling. JUNIORS: Brad Berberick, Jim [.ar- son. Steve Sinner. SOPHOMORES: Don Buck- ley, Rick Kreuger. The beginning point for meets, pr art ices, and summer evenings. 23
