Varsity Alumni Speaker Football Football Cheerleaders Crc8 Mulder Players Homecoming action The 1978 Homecoming week began with the coronation of King Greg Eng- strom and Queen Sue Seward on Mon- day night. It was the first time a king was chosen to reign over homecoming festivities. Each day had its special emphasis. Tuesday was Renville Day when every- one wore red and white. Wednesday was Non-match Day. Thursday was Stuffed Animal Day. Friday was Kiss Day when the cheerleaders were kissing the football players. At the pepfest Dale Negen was named “MR. IRRES1STA- BLE” and Julie Thompson was named “MISS HOT LIPS” as the result of the day’s activities. Doug Reek won the pie eating contest and Deb Feldman was the strongest in the girls’ arm wrestling contest. Friday night the team showed their spirit as they defeated the Hector Bull- dogs, 39-20. Homecoming closed with a dance in the old gym with music provided by Swift Current. WE’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES! 6 1. Homecoming Royalty cheers the Indians to a victory. 2.

Indians tough enough The Renville Indians’ football team had its best season in many years. With a 6 - 4 record, Renville finished second in the 212 conference. At the beginning of the season, Seniors Tom Sche- mel and Greg Engstrom were elected as captains by the team. The team went on to post-season action with a 212 West Lake Conference playoff game against the Bel- grade Redmen. All-Conference honors went to Seniors Craig He- brink and Dean Williams, and Juniors Dale Negen and Gerry Gigstad. Dean Williams was also named to the Class C Minnesota Sportscasters’ Association All- State High School Team. I.

Along with teamwork, they learned new offensive plays including the “no- hit-fake-option and new defen- sive plays. Mr. Huff applied his special training from Moscow (U.S.S.R.) to his coaching duties. The team was seeded first in the district. All the workouts paid off in a 14-4 record for the season and the 212 Conference title. Mary Standfuss and Jackie Muet- zel were named to the All-Confer- ence team. No one would doubt that girls’ volleyball has come of age at RHS. A-SQUAD VOLLEYBALL First Row: N. Smith. D. Williams, R Johnson. J. Mulder, S. Seward. Second Row: Coach Huff, T. Bruns. D. Bruns. M.

Banzai was the cry of enthusiasm or triumph adopted by the Renville fans to urge the team to victory. The long hard practices under Coaches Anderson and Swanson developed a strong defensive team. Through the use of an effective press, the team was able to have a winning record for season play. At the end of the season the team was seeded 5th for the beginning of the tournament play. There was an exciting double overtime win against Prinsburg. Tournament play ended with the Indian’s loss to eventual regional champions Danube.

Tough on defense Under the coaching of Miss Carolyn Westphal, the Renville girls had a winning season with a 14-4 re- cord. Among the outstanding players was sophomore Joan Mulder. She was the number one Indian re- bounder with 215 rebounds during the season. Coach Westphal also declared, “Joan was the one with the highest percentage of field goals around the confer- ence.” Joan had the second highest average in the 212 conference of 15.4 points per game. Senior Mary Standfuss was named to the WCCO All-State Girls’ Basketball Team of the Year. She led the 212 Conference wth an average of 18.9 points per game. Mary was named to the Willmar Tribune’s All Area Team. Both Joan Mulder and Mary Standfuss were named to the All-Conference Team. The team placed second in the 212 Conference and was seated fourth in the District. Play came to an end for the team with their loss to KMS in a tough and close game in the District Tour- nament. There was no way of stopping this shot by Joan Mulder against Olivia. Her terrific vertical jump enabled her to snatch many rebounds throughout the season. A-SQUAI) GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Eirst Row: K.

For the B- Squad the highlight was the Invitational Tournament at Marshall where they won Five First places and two second places.

Like the other spring sport teams the boys’ track team suffered from the miser- able spring weather. Both outdoor prac- tices and the meets themselves were diffi- cult to schedule. Although the team missed many of last year’s seniors they made a strong showing as they placed sec- ond in the conference. Some of the outstanding events were the sprint medley with Shawn Grabow, Lon Engstrom, Nathan Merkel, and Kolyn Prodoehl, the long jump and high hurdles with Shawn Grabow as the star, the shot- put with Clay Bryan and the mile which was run by Kolyn Prodoehl. The sprint medley team participated in the regional track meet along with Clay Bryan who threw the discus 19 In spite of postponements of some track meets be- cause of rainy weather and the lack of outside prac- tice, the girls’ track team had a good year. It did not start well when the first track meet was postponed because of snow but they were able to finish third in the conference meet and fifth in the district meet. Team members were able to place in all but two events. Joan Mulder, who set a new district long jump record, and Natalie Reetz in the mile run advanced to the regional meet after they placed first in the district. For seniors Jackie Muetzel, Kris Eckstrom, Silvia Ross, and Sue Seward, high school track has come to an end but there will be many veterans for next year’s team. Girls’ Track First Row: J.

They won their first game in District play over Clara City and finished the season with a 10-5 record. It was a young team with only two senior players Craig Hebrink and Paul Holm who was named to the All-Conference Team. The team was hampered by a late spring in Renville. Some suggested that the team be issued waders for the home games. There was no outside practice before the first game. At the end of the season, Dale Negen was named the Most Valuable Player.

After weeks of hard practice, the Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders put together many new cheers to raise the school spirit. The Basketball Cheerleaders were C. Perry, J. Muetzel, K. Eck- strom, D. Feldman, and J. Thompson. Our cheerleaders were very busy this year. In the fall, they attended a clinic at the University of Minne- sota. They learned many new cheers and also attended a U of M football game. The football cheerleaders planned the Homecoming Program and helped with many of the special activities. The cheerleaders held various fund raisers such as the sale of donuts. Much time was spent perfecting their skills under the direc- tion of Mrs. Linda Ryks. They used their spirit to raise the spirit of RHS. 25 Cheerleaders show support B-SQUAD VOLLEVBAI.L: L. Abbus, J. Lcnz. S. Abbas. Julie Lcnz, Lori Abbas.

The girls’ basketball and volley- ball events would have been without cheer- leaders if it weren’t for the B-squad Cheer- leaders. Mrs. Linda Ryks was their adviser and taught them new actions for familiar cheers. They also learned several new cheers such as “Go-Fight-Win.” During the basketball games and wrestling matches the cheerleaders support- ed the teams through both victories and defeats. The girls had fun helping the A-squad Cheer- leaders raise the “Spirit of RHS.” 26 B-SQUAI) BOYS’ BASKETBALL: S. Holm. O. Van Zee. J. Eckstrom. P Feldman. B-SQUAD GIRI-S’ BASKETBALL: S Bakker. S.

These activities included a KQIC Disco in the fall and working in the concession stand during the winter sports’ season. With Miss Westphal as ad- viser the Letterwomen’s Club was concerned with social ac- tivities for the letterwinners in girls’ athletics. They were not involved in any money-raising activities.

This year under the direction of Mr. Robert Kutter, with the assistance of Jane Hawbaker as student di- rector, Renville Senior High School presented Bel Kaufman's ‘Up the Down Staircase.’ It is the story of a young English teacher who came to teach in New York City and found a whole new realm of exper- iences. The two act play was presented on March 23rd and 24th with senior Jodi Elliot in the starring role as Sylvia Barrett. Twenty-nine other students had roles ranging from Craig Hebrink as J.J. McHabe, Admin- istrative Assistant, to Dean Williams as Joe Ferone, the teacher’s nemesis. Laurie Bluhm as Bea Schachter, a fellow teacher, helped Sylvia maintain her sanity. Just as important to the production were the crews behind the scenes with Clay Bryan as stage manager. I.

The editors, Renee Allen and Carol Santjer, sold the ads and the staff under their direction prepared the pages for publication. During the school year the staff worked many hours after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mrs. Miller as adviser. Bob Ville did much of the photographic work. At a usual Tuesday after-school session, Mary O'Connor, Bonnie Swanson, Kristy Bruns, and Denise Williams try to think of captions for their assigned pages. Meeting deadlines and taking responsibil- ity for the Renvillon, co-editors Carol Santjer and Renee Allen proof and mark pages. Library Club The library aids were busier than ever this year as they assisted Mrs. Miller, librarian, and Mrs. Mulder, library aide, with duties in the new elementary library as well as the high school library. The students helped with the shelving of books, sorting of mag- azines, preparation of bulletin boards, and the climax — spring inventory, as order was restored. LIBRARY CLUB First Row: J. Bakkcr. D.

This picture will always remind her of how she learned the fine art of building a snow man. A.F.S. The past school year was an un- forgettable year for Ana Silvia Ross, this year’s AFS foreign ex- change student. From the large city of Curitiba, Brazil, where she lives with her parents, four sisters, and two brothers, she came to Renville to live with the Gerald O’Connors. In school she was elected an honorary member of the National Honor Society, participated in Student Council activities, sang in the choir, was a member of the track team and worked as a li- brary cadet. The senior class surprised her with a party on her birthday. Among her favorite things, Sil- via declared were the friendliness of people in the U.S., the snow, the AFS weekends, and the “Sen- ior Life.” Bob Villc and Silvia exchange hot tips be- fore a human anatomy exam. 39 Senior Band FLAG GIRLS AND MAJORETTE First Row: S.

Day after day the band members came into the band room, often after the last bell. They may have found the daily practices repetitious at times but it all paid off. The band fired up the sports’ teams and a real change came over the crowd at every event as the band started to play such fa- vorites as “The Horse” and “Tiger Rag”. The band also participated in the Homecom- ing Coronation ceremony, Christmas Concert, Winter Band Concert, and the Fine Arts Festival. A high-light this past year, was participation in the Music Contest. On April 25, Dr. John Zdechlik came to act as a adju- dicator for the Large Group Music Contest. After the band performed for him, he spent some time telling them how to make a good band even better. SENIOR BAND First Row: K. Ecksirom, J. Elliot. R. King. K. Standfuss, S. Zaske, T. Kottom, K.

For the first time in recent years the junior high and senior high student councils worked to- gether under the supervision of Mr. David Lick. Their main activ- ity was the direction of Home- coming events. Funds were raised through the sponsorship of a KQIC Disco and the sale of light bulbs. Among the topics of discussion was the matter of finals but no changes resulted. Projects investi- gated were a pay phone in the new gym area and acoustic shells for the band and choir. Restoration of the student lounge was dis- cussed. Each of these matters was studied for a start with comple- tion waiting future years. The following students were elected officers for the ’78-’79 school year: President Vicki Emde, Secretary Pam Kemnitz, Senior Treasurer Kolyn Prodoehl, and Junior Treasurer Matt Chan.

Before school be- gan, students were introduced- to the Sacred Heart 8th grad- ers at an orientation meeting with parents and staff. Over the months the students be- came friends and worked on projects such as a Homecom- ing Skit which gave the class 2nd place in the competition. Many of the students partici- pated in sports, cheerleading and music activities to show their spirit. Dawn Johnson I.
