Band Drums Up Enthusiasm The 78 members of the Ren- ville High School Band under the direction of Mr. James Merkel again provided the community with entertainment throughout the year. During the school year they performed at football games. Then, providing pep and steam for the basketball season seemed to be their specialty. They also contributed several concert per- formances and participated in the District Music Contest at Olivia. SENIOR BAND First Row: (Left To Right) D Brink, M. Los- kota, N. Merkel, T. Kretsch, K.

The three-act melo- drama of the Gay Nineties fea- tured music from that time era. The plot of the play involved an unscrupulous villain (played by Dave Henneberry), who tried to take advantage of two poor, but honest, young people (Sue Wolter and Kevin Mulder). A scene from a honkytonk on the famous Bowery was included. Twenty-three seniors partici- pated in the production. 1. Francis Desmond and Burke plot a plan of action. 2. Sadie sings Put Your Arms Around Me as Monty looks on. 3. Seniors' talents are utilized behind and in the scenes. 4. Francis Desmond pro- claims his plans and powers. 5.

This three act comedy shows the trials of eleven train pas- sengers stranded at a run-down wayside railroad station because of a derailment. Problems that these people faced included loud snoring, stolen pearls, a bomb threat, and a briefcase full of mice. This play, under the direction of Ann Martinson, was pre- sented in one matinee and two evening performances. 1. Passengers of the train pass their time playing games. 2. After being accused of stealing pearls, Mrs. Garonio's daughter comforts her. 3. The old aunt demands her cigar back. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY CAST First Row: (Left To Right) E. Branick. L. Link, C.

Two Fools Who Gained A Measure of Wisdom was pre- sented January 30 at Bird Island at the District Play Contest. The junior high one-act play. Shock of His Life, was a comedy about a father (Jim Hoffman) who believes he's dying of a heart condition. However, he has only been the victim of his son Wilbur's (Ned Wohlman) care- lessness in taking phone mes- sages. ONE ACT PLAY CAST (Left To Right) P. Schroeder, C. Sietsema, D. Mulder, L.

To those who are workers, the answer may be it is more work than play. These library workers are put to the task of keeping the library in top condition by the librarian, Mrs. Miller. This may include the duties of putting books away, stamping books, re- pairing covers, and dusting shelves. Occasionally the crea- tive talents of these junior librar- ians are tapped in making bulle- tin boards. 1. Kim Dolan searches for the right file card. 2. According to the Dewey Decimal System, Loren Butenhoff puts library books away. 3. Ready or not. I'm next, thinks Tom Schemel before giving his declam piece. 4.

Student Councils Under the leadership of the student councils, programs such as Homecoming, foreign ex- change, the student lounge, dances, and Student of the Month, have become a success at RHS. Without the voice of stu- dent opinion through this coun- cil, the needs of the programs may have never been met. Every member of both student councils had, along with his le- gislative duties, the job of mak- ing change for the candy ma- chine in the student lounge. JR.

The purposes are Leadership, Con- duct, Service, and Scholarship. Mr. John Koczman from Hector spoke on leadership at the induc- tion ceremonies. Rod Hebrink was president, Tim Berger was vice-president, and Carol Sietsema was secre- tary. Earlier in the school year the members attended the Chan- hassen Dinner Theater. 1.

Ren-Hi Record For the first time in the recent histroy of RHS, action pictures made their debut in the school newspaper, The Ren-Hi Record. This, along with the interesting and stimulating article by the writers, sent the ratings of the paper to all time highs. Credit for the success of this monthly tabloid can be attri- buted to a fine staff including editors Char Schmidt and Karen Hanson, all the newswriters of RHS, and faculty advisor Miss Johnson. 1. Pam Standfuss and Debbie Bach de- vote their time to doing paste-up on the annual. 2. Gail Swartz prepares to push the button to mimeograph the Ren-Hi Record. 3.

Hanson 20 Grin If You’ve Got One With the goal of making the 1975 Annual bigger and better' the yearbook staff compiled pictures and stories all of the year. Along with adding four pages to the length of the book, the staff also had the cover designed by a RHS student, Linda Schemel. In a quest to have a better book, the editors spent many hours reading and rereading the pages before they were sent to be published to insure that even the smallest mistake would be caught. This year's annual staff found Debbie Bach in charge as editor-in-chief, Pam Standfuss as her as- sistant, Rod Hebrink as business manager, and Lon- nie Link and Pat Schroeder as junior editors. Many other students helped with the production of the book. Mr. Bodurtha took the pictures for the book and was the advisor. ANNUAL First Row: (Left To Right) J. Sietsema, D. Brink, M. Eekhoff, N.

This year could hardly be called an ordin- ary one for the girls in the Future Home- makers of America. These FHA'ers under the advisership of a past FHA National Pre- sident, Miss Christiansen, became some of the most active people at RHS. When they were not busy with their Halloween party for the pre-school children, door decorating contest at Christmas time, or caroling at the Renvilla Home, they were planning for their joint banquet with the FFA. The officers consisted of Sue Wolter, pre- sident; Cathy Schmidt, vice-president; Lon- nie Link, secretary; Karen Hanson, trea- surer; Pat Schroeder, parlimentarian; Cheryl Bratsch, historian; and Carol Agre, song leader. 1.

Not only did the FFA Parliamentary Procedure Team capture the state title for the third consecutive year, but Rod Hebrink and Dave Henneberry became the State President and Vice-President. Since the advisors, Mr. Wa- cholz and Mr. Fischer, have stressed involvement within and outside the FFA as a key to suc- cess, projects such as the Camp Courage Corn Drive and the fruit sales have been well re- ceived. 1.

Through the Youth for Understanding pro- gram, Debbie Bach spent a summer in Denmark, and Mary Loskota was in Sweden. Not to be out done by Mary and Debbie, Fraulein Martinson and 13 deutschen studenten (German Students) journeyed to Germany for 15 days during March.

There were two nights of trying to get the whole class united into building the best float Renville has ever seen and after many suspenseful moments. Char Schmidt and Bruce Feldman were crowned Homecoming Queen and Escort of 1974. The coronation pro- ceeded with skits from every class and many cheers from Renville’s Football Cheerleaders. At 7:30, September 27, the kickoff of the Homecoming Game began one of the most ex- citing games of the season. Ren- ville lost in overtime to Hector with the score of 14-20.

Renville was defeated by two non-conference op- ponents, Granite Falls and Clarkfield. They then lost the conference opener to Bird Island (eventual State Class C Runner-up). The Indians also lost a Homecoming heart-breaker to Hector in a 20-14 overtime loss. The team then came back with an impressive win over Danube 46-2 and went on to finish their season with four straight victories. The Indians relied on many seniors to fill starting positions and head the team. Bruce Feldman, Dick Eekhoff, and Ken Haug were elected tri-captains.

Plagued by injuries throughout the season, the Renville Wrestling team fought to a 9-2-1 overall record, giving them a share of the Conference Championship with Bird Island. Their two losses came at the hands of District 10 and 11 Champions. Renville placed 3rd of 12 teams in the conference tournament with Kapseon Kim taking a lone 1st, while Bill Olson, Dick Eekhoff, Darrell Bruns, and Gary Link secured 2nds. These 5 wrestlers also advanced to the region as Renville placed 5th of 17 teams in the District 12 tournament. Kapseon Kim went on to the state tour- nament to place 3rd at 112 with a 3 win and 1 loss effort. 37 Cagers Provide Thrills Finishing a very fine season, the basketball team ended with a 24-1 record. Practices were conducted after school everyday in hopes of going to the state tournaments. All the players showed a great attitude the whole season. After the regular season, the In- dians had maintained a 20-0 record gaining another 212 Conference Basketball Title for the 5th straight time. The team pushed their conference record to 71-0 and remained one of the 3 undefeated teams in the state. When Districts came the Indians were rated 1 and after 3 tournament games they had taken a 5th straight District title. The hopes of state came after beating Marshall but the hopes were shattered after the loss to New Ulm. The team had some excellent players like Kevin Mulder who was named All-State and was consi- dered one of the top ten players in the State of Minnesota. He also received an All-Conference trophy and MVP award. Roger Mulder, also a good player, received an All-Conference trophy and MVP award. A third player, Brad Peterson, also got an All-Conference trophy. Frank Fischer was named to an All-District team. B SQUAD BASKETBALL: (Left To Right) R. Toso, coach, K. Prodoehl, J. Bulthuis, J.

Due to poor weather condi- tions the team was unable to practice outside and consequent- ly had a slow start. But as the weather got warmer the track- sters got better. After capturing the conference championship, the Indians went on to win the District 12 cham- pionship by one point, avenging last year's one point loss. Five individuals advanced to the re- gion meet and helped the track team place third, the highest ever. Placing high in the region and advancing to state compe- tion were Tim Berger, Bruce Feldman, and Kevin Mulder. In the state meet Kevin Mulder became Renville's first state track and field champion by winning the high jump at 6 feet 3 inches, a new school re- cord. 1. Dan Wohlman reaches over a hurdle. 2.

Leaving these words 54 sen- iors finished 12 years of study at RHS. Ruth Reetz and Rod He- brink gave commencement ad- dresses reviewing their years in school and giving an insight into their outlook for the future. The class flower was the white carnation, tipped in red and the class colors were red and silver. Cathy Hanson, Lonnie Link, Frank Fischer, and Doug Carnes were chosen by the Senior Class as the Junior Honor Guards. SENIOR CLASS First Row: (Left To Right) C. Agre, D. Ander- son, D. Bach, J.

Mavbe they just found out that Cathy Schmidt and Reed Nelson are their class attendents and escorts. Also it could be that Cain is playing at the Home- coming dance. Also keeping them busy are their money making projects. The concession stands and the magazine sale in which they earned $1,800 for the class trea- sury. The Junior Class is led by Pre- sident, Kyle Prodoehl; Vice- President, Carol Sietsema; Trea- surer, Doug Carnes; and Secre- tary, Cathy Hanson.

But is it for the better or worse?! Some say it's worse, referring to biology, American history, and driver s ed. The better part is being in Sr. High clubs, band, chorus and dances. It is also a change from oldest back to youngest again. There are a lot of firsts that go with the change such as having Homecoming attendents, a wide choice of classes, and having some classes with the upper classmen. Out of the 18 cheerleaders, 8 of them come from the Sophomore Class. The guys are also very active in B-squad and varsity sports. The class officers are: President, Bill Olspn; Vice- President, Mike Mulder; Secretary, Lon Thompson; and Treasurer, Robyn Dolan. 68 Deb Mehrhoff Julie Miller Lynn Mulder Mike Mulder Jim Negen Kay Nelson Bill Olson Jon Raske Tim Raske Todd Raske Linda Reetz JanelleSietsema Diane Smith Phil Snartland Joan Strootman Lon Thompson Sherry Vanslette Dan Wohlman 1.

They have many members who have lettered in athletics. They also have B team cheer- leaders that really make the fans roar. The 9th grade has boys in varsity and B team basketball and varsity and B team wres- tling. The Freshman have four good officers. President, Geraldine Swart; Vice-President, Ned Wohlman; Secretary, Marlys Ja- cobs; and Treasurer, Tom Smith. 70 Greg King Jim Kluver Tammy Larson Chris Millerbernd Sharon Meutzel Kim Mulder Corrine Perry Jane Peterson Kent Prodoehl David Reek Debbie Reek Tom Smith Kelly Sturlaugson Terry Sturlaugson Geraldine Swart Lori Thompson Kim Vansletfe Jeff Ville I.

Happiness for them is also finally moving up a step, thinking of being the oldest in Junior High, and having four more years left. They are very lucky to have four brave class officers: President, Dan Berger; Secretary, Tammy Kottom; and Treasurer, Brett Habben. Happi- ness is also looking back on this school year and remembering how great it was. 73 7th Grade One Down, Five To Go 1. The seventh graders perform their se- cond place Homecoming Skit 2.

After running around like frightened mice finding their homeroom surely was nice. Then they started on their way and for the rest of the time it was a pretty good day. Many activities would come this year, in which different peo- ple would see and hear. Home- coming came and they gained their fame. The 7th grade skit was a very big hit. During the next day in the parade, their In- dian and Bulldog float was dis- played. The funniest investigation was the FHA'ers initiation. They sur- vived the tragic moments and are now on the FHA enrollment. Their class is led by such out- standing students as their Presi- dent, Joe Loskota; Vice- President, Barton Bakker; Secre- tary, Nancy Smith; and Trea- surer, Dan Sehemel. 75 Growing From Naptime To 6th Grade Band SIXTH GRADE First Row: (Left To Right) R.
