High Potential Given Omnibus An exciting new opportunity is being offered to high potential students at RSH Elementary School. This program, called Omnibus, provides enrichment to students identified, through achievement test scores and teacher referrals, as high potential The objectives of the Omnibus program are: 1. To expose the children to in-depth subject matter and new areas of in- terest. 2. To encourage creativity and develop logic and problem-solving skills. 3. To allow interaction with others of similar abilities and interests. 4. To demonstrate the potential of trained volunteers in the educational process. In RSH Elementary School there are presently two Omnibus groups—a primary group (grades 1-3) and an Students Now Boost at RSH intermediate group (grades 4-6) Each group is led by two trained volunteers who follow a specifically developed curriculum. Alice Beekman and Becky Jano arc teaching Communications Media once a week for five weeks to a group of 14 primary students.

Of sad things, of important things. And everything that school life brings. Memories from elementary years, Years that were fun and easy-going. And of all those child like fears. Junior high years were ones of coping. “Strangers” from the town down-the- road. And “big” little kids that were always hoping. Leslie Zaske Pamela Zetah Senior Class Officers are pictured ABOVE: Treas. Mark Kisher. Sec. Naomi Skalheck. Vice. Pres. Jean Aalderks. Pres. Brad Sorenson. High school meant new things to do, New places to go and people to see. In these years we learned, and grew. Then we were seniors-the top of the heap. It was a year full of fun and lots of glad moments, A year full of memories to always keep. “Remember whens” went through senior hall As the year of ’85 came to a close. And the senior class went through walking tall. Our senior year-it’ll never be forgotten. By Kay Mueller 13 Miller Time John Miller, an outstanding ath- lete of the class of ’85 won his fourth State Wrestling Champion- ship making him only the second wrestler ever to accomplish this in the state of Minnesota. John start- ed his career in the seventh grade as he placed fourth in Region III at 98 lbs. The next year, he fin- ished third at 105 lbs in the Re- gion. As a freshman, John started his four-year reign as the State Champion, winning four state ti- tles. As a senior, he was named to the Iowa Classic All-Star Team as captian and defeated his Iowa op- ponent. John’s six year varsity wrestling career ended with an im- pressive record of 173-12-1. John was recognized at both the Region and State Wrestling Tournaments with standing ovations by the crowds. RSH was definitely proud to have John represent them.

While here, she actively participated in school, taking part in the fall play, wrestling cheerleading, FHA, choir ensembles, track, and she played for the seniors against the faculty in both basketball and vol- leyball. She also graduated with honors. Anita was definitely a delight to have around as she always had a smile and a good word for every- one. We wish her good luck as she goes back to Sweden.

This kept everyone busy, but the effort was well worth it when the goal was reached. This money was used to pay for Prom which was at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. Homecoming was another exciting event, and the Juniors enjoyed participating in the activities. The arrival of the class rings in the fall was another exciting and special occasion. Many Juniors actively participated in extra-curricular activities and proudly displayed their strengths and talents.

They were consid- ered to be “high schoolers” for the first time, and they used this new opportunity to actively partici- pate in varsity sports, drama, and band and choir contests. Fresh- men were also allowed to take elective classes for the first time, but there were still a few required classes such as typing and gram- mar. Another exciting aspect to being a ninth grader is driver edu- cation and behind the wheel train- ing. This is probably the most en- joyed opportunity for many fresh- men.

He holds a bachelor of science degree with a major in industrial education. He is married and has one child. Bratsch replaces Art Prior, whose resignation was accepted by the Renville school board after serving the Renville and RSH districts for more than 27 years.__________________ The building trades house, computer purchases, and secondary math curricu- lum generated long discussions by board members at the Monday night, November 26. meeting of the RSH joint board held in the Sacred Heart Community Library. The board was concerned with some- how generating public interest in the purchase of the building trades house completed last spring. The board Charlie Grams Has Chance at Athletic- Director-of-the-Year The name of RSH Athletic Director Charlie Grams has been submitted to Minnesota State High School League directors for consideration as State Athletic Director of the Year, an honor to be placed on one individual at the athletic directors’ conference being held in the Twin Cities this week. Grams was selected as Region III Athletic Director of the Year At Monday night's meeting of the RSH Joint board in the Renville board room. Superintendent Ivan Eckstrom informed the board that after prelimin- ary registration was completed and low sign-up classes were dropped, the ad- ministration has been conferring on matching instructors to courses. The administration is looking at preserving quality and covering all needs, yet not reducing full-time staff to less than full-time positions. Superintendent Eckstrom informed the board that the administration is looking for asssignments to provide full-time employment for the ag and industrial arts instructors. He asked for input from the board and assured them that no assignments will be made with uncertified staff without informing the board. In the area of instructional capital outlay. Superintendent Eckstrom in- formed the board, We won't ask for financing an elementary computer lab.” He did ask that the board, however, consider the purchase of computers needed to expand Mr. Don Ranistad’s class. Orville Wolf, business education in- structor, spoke to the joint board about keyboarding and typewriters. He had three concerns. The first was that manual typewriters for elementary stu- dents were not appropriate since their fingers arc not strong enough to push down the keys and manual typewriters would be frustrating for those students. His second concern was that a quali- fied business instructor teach keyboard- ing. He told the board that elementary instructors are enthusiastic about key- boarding because the students have learned correct finger placement and Joint Board Approves Purchase Agreement If all goes as anticipated, the RSH student-constructed house will be sold, according to a purchase agreement be- tween the RSH joint school board and Greg and Julie Dikken. The agreement was approved by both parties Monday night in a meeting at the house in Renville. Successful financing will be the final determiner. Last week the board had decided that it would likely accept the offer of $40,404 if no other interested person submitted a bid before or during Monday night’s meeting Interest in the house was expressed by Richard Wertish of Renville, who indicated that his interest would continue only if financing for the Dikkens was not obtained. The suffering rural economy, high interest rates, and an over abundance of homes for sale in Renville have made liquidation of the Building Trades house slow . Last year board members voted not to offer the course to students because the present project hadn’t yet sold, and board members felt uneasy about subjecting taxpayers to possibly a second unsold, large-expenditure project. Parent-Teacher Conferences Set, No School Friday Classes will not be held for RSH students this Friday because of parent- teacher conferences scheduled for that Heart, appointed to the Sacred Heart school board to fill out the position resigned Dec. 31 by Gale Dahlager. was sworn in Thursday evening.

Superintendent Eckstrom recom- mended adoption of the Econo-Key system consisting of two incoming lines, instead of the present four, with built-in intercomm system and seven te.le- mm w m Mt m i iu urn. The monthly charge would be less than at present and the system would cost approximately S2.200 according to Bruce Hanson of the local telephone company. The board was not enthusias- tic about the system and decided to wait with a decision until quotes were available on the repair projects and asked that this project be added to that GOVERNMENT Nineteen new employees have joined the ranks of colleagues at Renville and Sacred Heart schools this year; 17 are teachers. “We’ve never in the history of either district had this kind of turnover,’’ commented RSH Superintendent Ivan Eckstrom. Most of the new staff were added because of retirements, changes in the curriculum, and new positions, and only a few were hired to fill vacancies created by faculty members who left to accept other positions. Ross Bettin was hired, nonetheless, to fill a vacancy in the social studies department. Bettin comes to Renville from Jackson He attended Concordia College in St. Paul for one year before transferring to Mankato State University and graduating in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree. Last year he served as a long-term substitute teacher at Mankato East and West High Schools. “My major goal is to get the students to become aware of what’s going on around them in society—get them aware of society and how it works,’’ Bettin commented. He will be teaching Social I?, American History, and National Affairs. Bettin’s wife, Cindy, was employed at Immanuel-St. Joseph’s Hospital in Mankato. “We’d like to stay here for quite a while,” Bettin said. “We like the small town atmosphere.” In addition to his teaching assignment, Bettin will be assistant coach of seventh and eighth grade football and will be the assistant varsity boys basketball coach. “RSH is a good school system and I’m happy to be a part of the staff and hope to have a great year, commented second grade teacher Eileen Clemenson.

The play is an adaption of the folk tale of Hop-o’-my-Thumb and was written by Aurand Harris. The story recounts the adventures of three children (Aaron Holum, Kelly Mahlum, and Judy Sietsema), who are lost in the woods and searching for the way home. Their travels lead them to the home of an Ogre (David Sietsema) and his three children (Randy Fredrickson, Audra Beekman, and David Haen) and their cook and house- keeper (Sarah Raske). The Ogre, of course, is the type who eats children. With the help of two fairies (Stacey Hagen and Jay Mulder), the children manage to get rid of the Ogre and find their way home. Over 40 students are involved in the production of the play, which is being directed by Mike and Raye McKim. The students have spent many hours in preparation in order to bring the audience a play full of comedy and NTS presented the annual Christmas at the Renville School.

Additional photos ap- —Star-Farmer photo The RSH joint board was asked Monday night, October 22, in the Renville board room to express its opinion on continuing the tradition of the senior choir traveling to Alexandria to tape a half-hour television Christmas program. After some discussion it was decided that the trip be continued if the in- structor was in favor—the consensus being that the trip was an educational experience. Elizabeth Larsen, choir director, informed the board that in talking to the station manager she was told that the Alexandria station is being remodeled so he might not be asking choirs to come this year. In that event, Larsen had some alternatives that she explained to the board, such as ex- change concerts, having guest clinicians come to RSH, or perhaps something via cable. She also informed the board that the station manager said that RSH would be one of the first choirs to be asked if the station could schedule choirs during the Christmas season. Apparently, the number of choirs now participating has dwindled Homecoming activities for RSH high school students will shroud normal school events next week as students and alumni celebrate the special week. Leading the events will be the Coronation Program set for Monday night, October 1, when the 1984 king and queen are crowned by 1983 royalty, Tom Knapper and Deb Reinke. Queen candidates include Jean to about eight choirs presenting their programs on KCMT TV in the past few years. Priorities or more time in the school schedule for music, drama practices were a concern of teachers, according to Elaine Johnson’s report on the Meet and Confer Board and Faculty meeting. Philip Kneeland, band instructor, spoke of the concern about the shortage of time available for extra-curricular areas other than athletics. He felt that athletics were crowding the schedule, unfairly making it difficult to schedule music or drama practices. He suggested some time be set aside on Monday evenings. The board agreed that time should be available in the schedule for non- athletic extra-curricular practices and activities. Other topics discussed at the Meet and Confer meeting included a request from the teachers for an evaluation of the evaluation procedure with teacher input, and future programs for the creative student. Another term considered by the Attendants for the evening will be Angela Bruns and Joel Pederson, grade 11. Deb Fuls and Jim Ridl, grade 10; Nancy O’Connell and Allan Reinke, grade nine; Andrea Rustad and David Haen, grade eight; Margaret Strandjord and Richard Kluver, grade seven.
