Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1973 volume:

R.H.S. I shall pass through this world but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show or any good I could do, Let me do it now, let me not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. Etime'de Grellet Education is a companion which no misfortune can decrease, no crime destroy, no enemy alien- ate, no despotism enslave; at home a friend, abroad an intro- duction, in solutude a solace, in society an ornament. It chastens vice, and gives grace and govern- ment to genius. Agneta and Koji and our two YFU students. Agneta comes to us from Sweden and is residing with the Loyis Eeckhoff's. Koji hales from Japan and is staying with the Fred Olson's. Both are very popular about school. Koji came to his fame with his new wrestling style and his genial personality. While Agneta, though quiet, is very friendly and nice to know once you meet her. We are glad to have these two students grace our halls because they add a new dimension to our lives which we would not otherwise experience. They bring fresh views about life and expose us to a different culture and help bring these cultures together. They have shown us, that people around the world are alike and can be as nice as the next guy. 4 SENIORS I We will be together Until that day That day that we commence That day, We will come together And each of us will leave alone We will come with a smile on our face And a tear in our heart But we come with courage That we may leave with hope We come with peace That we may leave with love We will follow our new goals We will go where we've never been before But in spirit we will always be a part of Renville High.

Our world is the classroom where we listen and learn. Our world is the halls we walk every day with kids at school, seeking to know our- selves. Our world is the library where we study, read, and relax. Our world is the gym where we participate, where we play basket- ball or cheer the team. Our world is the stage where we hear That's it . Our world is the office where we hand in an excuse and where we receive a make-up slip. Our world is the lunchroom where we eat five days a week. Our world is the student lounge for a half hour a day. Our world is the places we go and the people we meet, the things we see, and the feelings we feel. Our world is the road of life through which we travel. Jeff Thompson Gary Wulf Curt Zaske WE NEED EACH OTHER S futlcn fs Pernu f ted Beyon Poor FACULTY Superintendent, I.

Ren- ville outscored their op- ponents 273 to 45 for the year. As the season pro- gressed Renville had 3 members named to WCCO's Teams of the Week. Skip Dolan once, Jerry Freiborg twice, and Ron Berger twice. Ren- ville was also rated No. 1 in class C. The Indians received the Gold Brick from Hecter by beating them 14 to 0. In all of the conference games they gave up just 3.7 points per game. Ron Berger was named to “C” SQUAD FOOTBALL Coach: Rick Toso Assistant: Dave Sorenson C Coach: Robert Anderson WCCO Prep Parade's all state football team at the end of the season. The Indians were made up of 5 Seniors, 10 Juniors, 11 Sophomores, and 5 Freshmen. Out of these Ron Berger, Chuck Johnson, Curt Zaske, Larry Bratsch, and Don Dolan were named all- conference. Renville's coaching staff included Dave Sorenson, and Rick Toso. These two men con- tributed very much to the success of the season. Coach Toso was named District 12 Coach of the Year at the end of the season. This year's season proved to be a great suc- cess. CAPTAINS SENIORS VARSITY The Renville cagers had a good season winning 21 games and losing only 3. The third loss came in the first round of the Region tournament against Gaylord. The Indians gave up only 54 points a game, while scoring 75 points a game. During the year two members were named to WCCO's teams of the week. They were Grey Mulder, and Skip Dolan. Three of the teams members were named all-conference. They were Skip Dolan, Kevin and Greg Mulder. This years team was very young with three seniors, five jun- iors, three sophomores, and two freshmen. The Indians were un- der the coaching of Robert Anderson and Rick Toso. CAPTAINS Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep FOOTBALL?? C SQUAD BASKETBALL VARSITY WRESTLING B SQUAD The Renville wrestlers completed their most successful season in school history. The teams dual meet record was 11-1. Renville won the conference dual title plus capturing the conference tournament at the end of the year. The wrestlers were lead by co-captains Paul Olson and Jerry Freiborg and foreign exchange student, Koji Miyagi. Olson finished the season 27-0-1 while Frieborg won the district titles and Olson won the regional title to qualify for the state tournament but was unable to wrestle as he broke his hand two days before the tournament. The five seniors graduating will be hard to replace but there are also some good young prospects which makes the future look bright for the next few years. 67 VARSITY TRACK SENIORS TRACK COACHES BACK ROW: Kevin Branick, Pat Branick.
