It was then that the students chose the school colors and yearbook and newspaper names. By unani- mous vote, cardinal red and white became our colors. The yearbook name, chosen by Miss Baunc’s Latin class, was Aurc An, meaning “Golden Year. The Spotlite. later called the Spartan Spotlite. was selected by Mr. Brett and his staff. Since there were originally no team sports, the team name and school song were not introduced until 1956. The Spartan name was selected, and it is on this symbol that our strong heritage was built. Mr. Frank Curry and Mr. Wes Kohl were asked to compose our school song, while Mr. Miles Lun- dahl composed the band score. The band got new Spartan uniforms that year and wore them proudly. The school ring design was the same in 1979 as back then. The styles went from letter sweaters to letter jackets, but the school letter “R has always been worn proudly. The red and white Spartan Spirit has always existed and will continue to ex- press Richfield High School glory. I4 Spartan Feature 1. A symbol of our rich heritage. 2.

Spirit Week, October 8-14, started Monday with t-shirt day, followed by hat day, dress-up day, clash day, and red and white day. On Coronation night. Queen Cheryl Daffer and King Glen Peterson crowned the newly elected Queen for ’78-’79. Screams, cheers, and tears of excitement filled the auditorium as Anne Carlson was chosen RHS’s 25th Homecoming Queen. Friday the big football Pep Fest was held, with caramcled onions, the cheerleaders’ “Twelve days of School,” and a speech by Queen Anne. There was a good turnout for the football game against Edina West, but the Spartans were sadly de- feated 7-6. 18 Homecoming 1.

Homecoming ’78 Brought A Lot Of Enthusiasm” One of the most exciting moments of Homecoming came Saturday night, when more than 500 students attend- ed the Homecoming Dance. The dance was semi-formal, and everyone looked terrific! The Homecoming Dance Committee did a fine job with the lunchroom, decorated in blue and silver. The “Masquerade” band provided the en- tertainment for the evening. A lot of school spirit was shown throughout Homecoming Week. All the Spartan teams showed good team effort in their games as the Spartan fans cheered them on. Homecoming ’78 brought a lot of en- thusiasm, making the 25th birthday of Richfield High School a memora- ble one. 20 Homccoming I - An exciting play by Dan Lcrom during the home- coming game. 2.

Guys and gals dressed up West- ern Style for the annual Sadie Haw- kins Dance, decorated to the theme “Wild, Wild West.” Someone looking in would have seen cowboys, cowgirls, “Samuri warriors,” a horse and many other things. Most everyone got “hitched” by the local preacher, but only after the guy went through a tough obstacle course. Once the men were officially married, leaving their gal alone had severe consequences; they were put in jail with the only way out being the forgiveness of their “wife” and the roll of the dice to de- termine how many kisses would pay their bail. Music was supplied by “Hickory Wind,” who played country western and rock. 22 Sadic Hawkins 1. Going through honorable obstacle course. 2. Getting hitched Western Style! 3. Is it worth the bail? 4.

Participation Improved. ” Do you remember the week before Christmas vacation when everyone, even the teachers, was just a little hyper and the student senate took advantage of the atmosphere to promote a School Spirit Week? As you may recall, the participation improved as the week progressed. Monday was Unique Day. Only a few students dressed “uniquely,” but it was a start. Tuesday you may have thought that you were seeing double because it was Twin Day. Wednesday was the ever-popular Toga Day. True school spirit was dis- played on Thursday with Red and White Day. Christ- mas Day was Friday, and the students and teachers dressed in red and green, like Santa, elves, and other things relating to Christmas. By Friday the entire school was bursting with spirit. In addition to all this, remember purchasing a candy- gram for that special someone? The student senate sold candy canes with messages, for a quarter, and delivered them to students and teachers during the day. The student senate made a profit of $60.00, which it put into its fund for future use. Spirit Wcck 25 FIRE AND ICE “ . . . For The Students. ” This year’s 25th anniversary celebra- tion of Fire and Ice was a success. At the start of the week, seniors chose 10 king candidates, and juniors and sophomores chose prince candidates. Many students were involved in the events of Fire and Ice: talent show, coronation, broomball game, and the dance. Seniors formed broomball teams and entered into the play-offs to deter- mine the championship team. The “Richfield Ramblers’’ were victorious and challenged the “Fabulous Facul- ty.” During halftime, entertainment was provided by those “cute’’ Cheer- leaders, the Tapaires, and a solo on ice by Carol Saboe. The sophomore and junior princes were announced, and the king candidates were ac- knowledged with their escorts. Home- coming Queen Anne Carlson crowned Russ Petersen, the 1978-79 Fire and Ice King. The Broomball game ended in a 1-0 victory for the students. 26 Firc And let 1. S. Chaffin, J. Warner. J. Halvorson. J. Dalagcr. G. Iverson. S. Mareltc, L. Paszkiewicz. T. Ortiz. R. Petersen, C.

Those Wild And Crazy Gals.” “Thursday Night Live” brought out many students’ hidden talents in the Talent Show. In between perfor- mances the choir filled in with skits that were take-offs from “Saturday Night Live.” Everyone enjoyed the show, especially those two “wild and crazy gals,” Nancie Ninteman and Patty Rodgers. During Friday’s pep fest, the King candidates participated in a three legged race with their escorts. The crowd cheered them on as Wally Peck and Jane Johnson crossed the finish line first. Not only did the R.H.S. cheerleaders show us how cool they were, but the Broomball cheerleaders showed us that they had balance when they built their body pyramid. Fire and Ice celebrations were con- cluded by the Fire and Ice Dance. A lot of rock and disco were played by the band “Starburst.” The theme song for the evening was “Just the Way You Are.” 28 Firc And Icc 1. Joci Halvorson geis imo the beat. 2.

But A Heavy Subject.” Looking up on stage, one might have wondered what kind of bizarre play was going on. Immediately one’s eyes were drawn to three masked, gro- tesque, old women who seemed to have an air of nobility. This was the start of The Drunken Sisters by Thornton Wilder, who incorporated Greek Mythology in his play. The cast consisted of four people: Rob Peitzman as Apollo, Barb Dou- den as Clotho, Leslie Rindal as Lach- esis, and Karin Cudd as Atropos. The Drunken Sisters was about Apollo, the god of the sun, who was kicked out of heaven by Zeus and became a servant on earth for a year. He came to love King Admetos and Queen Al- kestis, with whom he lived, but King Admetos was to die soon. Apollo, hoping to save the King, went to visit the three Greek fates, Clotho, Lach- esis, and Atropos, who determined life and death. Apollo got the sisters drunk by telling them the wine made Aphrodite beautiful. It was known that the sisters loved riddles, and, tak- ing advantage of the situation, Apollo told them a riddle. If they couldn’t answer, he got a wish.The riddle was: “What is it that is necessary to every live and that can save only one?” The sisters forfeited, and the answer was Apollo, the sun. King Admetos as was saved, but Queen Alkestis was to die in his place. According to Mrs. Holman, The play was hard to produce because it was a comedy but dealt with a heavy sub- ject.” Others who contributed to the perfor- mance were Leslie Rindal, Patty Mercier, Cathy Wick, and Monica Wittig who made up the stage crew. Pat Coleman was the student direc- tor. 30 One Act Play 1. The three Fates from left to right: Clotho. Lachesis. Atropos. 2. Atropos with her scissors. 3.

One Act Play 31 AFS . . . Different Than Anything In The World.” Rafael Valenzuela and Isa Jam were the two AFS (American Field Service) Students at Richfield this year. Rafael, from Los Andes, Chile stayed with the Wegmillcr family. They had no one at- tending RHS this year. When asked about her opinion of RHS, Isa’s main comment was “It’s Big’’. She comes from a small school of about 400 stu- dents. Isa got to see what a small Min- nesota school is like when she went to Chaska for a long weekend. Three RHS seniors spent their summers abroad. Through AFS Jeanne Cos- grove, Sue Vogel, and Joel Halvorson were able to spend some time experienc- ing life in another country. Jeanne went to Bremen, North Germany where she stayed with her adoptive family, the Standings. Sue Vogel stayed in Malay- sia with an Indian family. Her father was an Anglican priest. Joel’s trip took him to Oaxaca, Mexico. He felt that “AFS was a different experience than anything in the world.’’ 32 AFS 1. Rafael Valenzuela getting into it. 2.

New Ideas And Fond Memories ...” This year RHS hosted students from other countries through the participa- tion in a variety of different pro- grams. Richfield was home away from home for Glen Mercado of the Phillipinnes and Martin Cummings from England. Glen was here through Youth For Understanding, and Mar- tin was a Rotary Exchange Student. The time spent in Richfield provided these students with many new exper- iences and a different way of life. They returned to their countries with new ideas and fond memories. On a smaller scale RHS also had an active exchange program with other Minnesota schools. This year the par- ticipants were Margit Lace, Steve Chaffin, Sharon Landy, and Bonnie Butler. These students spent a week in another school system while our school hosted students from other schools. 34 Studcnt Exchange 1. Glen Mercado and the Abbariao family. 2.

Knickers And Gauchos.” Strolling down the halls of RHS in 1954, guys wore straight-legged, rolled-up blue jeans, white crew socks, penny loafers, flannel shirts, white T-shirts, crew cuts or slicked back hair. Due to the dress code, coming to school beltless was a crime, and Mr. Principal lent ropes to all offenders. Only the first button was allowed unbuttoned on shirts. Any more, and the guys were apprehended on charges of indecent exposure. Such risque behavior was reserved for Saturday night at the drive-in. Back in school, the girls showed up in plaid midi-skirts, white bobby socks, saddle shoes, cardigan sweaters, pom- padours or bee’s nests, and horn- rimmed glasses. They were nearly shipped off to Siberia if their skirts didn’t touch the floor when they knelt down. There were no seniors and no north and south wings to find them in. The cheerleaders, Tapaires, and Tapettes cheered the Spartans on in knickers and gauchos. The students had the honor of choosing the mascot and the school colors. 1.

Spartans Prove Image As ‘power Team.”’ For many years now the Spartans have had the reputation of being a power team, and this year was no ex- ception. Under the coaching of Mr. Walker, who was also director of Stu- dent Affairs, the Spartans once again proved that no one can stop that “Big Red Machine.” This year’s Tri-Captains were Dan Lcrom, Ted Coffman, and Steve Miller, who were picked toward the end of the season last year. To have a team that was as solid as the Spartans, the players needed a lot of tough, grueling work which began midway through the summer. On those unbearable, hot days in August, people passing Spartan Stadium saw 80 players running formations and going in for touch-downs. Football has always been the main spirit raiser in our school, and this year was not a disappointment to the many spirited supporters of the foot- ball team. Thanks, Team, for a good season. 1.

Players Worked Hard To Improve Their Skills.” Led by Senior Co-Captains Gregg Hohcnstcin and Dale Moore, Rich- field’s varsity soccer team exper- ienced a season of ups and downs. Recordwisc, it was a disappointment. Although much individual talent was at hand, the team didn’t jell until the end of the season when it came on strong, winning six of the last seven games played. Often the Spartans out-shot and out-played their oppo- nents, only to lose by one or two goals. According to Coach Martignacco, ev- ery game could have been won but for a few breaks which worked in favor of Spartan foes. Like any other competitive team, the soccer players worked hard to im- prove their skills. Practices usually fo- cused on improvement of a specific fundamental skill, such as trapping or passing, and tactical maneuvers for offensive and defensive players. Two seniors who especially benefited from this system were Scott Aspclin, who was selected for the All-Conference Team, and Mike Hofflandcr, who re- ceived honorable mention. The season concluded with the annual team banquet. Here awards were giv- en to Scott Aspelin, elected MVP and the team’s leading scorer, Paul Lhotka, the most improved player, and Tom Madsen, who had the most team spirit. For many junior and sophomore players attention was di- rected toward the next season. With such talented juniors as Gary Schreiner, Joe Mclncrny, and Jim Carr returning, it should prove to be a good one. Socccr 43 44 Cross Country CROSS COUNTRY “ . . . It’s Quality That Counts.” Cross country was a much over- looked sport that took as much or even more endurance than football or basketball. This is a sport which re- quires mental stamina as well as phys- ical capabilities for running miles on end. We had a small team this year, but once again the saying “quality rather than quantity” applied. With John Gisselquist as the boys’ captain and Rochelle “Rocky” Dean as the girls’ captain, both teams were led to a successful season. This was Mr. Oiseth’s first year as head coach for the cross country team, and, as all the team members agreed, he did a very good job. “He came with a new dimension to run- ning and brought an excitement which was lacking before he came,” stated one member of the girls’ team. Cross country is becoming a bigger and better sport in our school due to the fact that spectators and partici- pants are discovering the true excite- ment of running. ancc. 2.

Strong Bench Influenced Success.” Can you guess which RHS team celebrated “Senior Wierd Day?” It was the girls’ volleyball team! Ev- ery Friday of the season, the seniors dressed up in different ways. Adding to the fun, Co-Captains Lezlie Anderson and Judy Coencn led their team through a winning season. Judy Coencn, Joan Travan, and Brenda Schumacher, for exam- ple, were three excellent spikers. Laurie Pearson was a good setter, and Bonnie Carlson had a powerful serve. The girls played in two set tournaments, Irondale and Spring Lake Park, finishing fourth in the Irondale tournament. Along with a strong bench, a new coaching staff influenced the team’s success. Mrs. Dawn Graves, new to Richfield this year, coached Varsity, and Mrs. Kass coached J.V. ball. 2. Keeping the bench warm, ihc girls watch anxious •y 3. Co-Captains Judy Coencn and Leslie Anderson 4.

Individual Effort And Improvement.” When walking by the tennis courts in August, one might have heard one of the captains yelling “forehand,” “backhand,” “forehand volley.” This was all part of the tennis team warm- ups for the 30 girls involved. Under the leadership of Co-Captains Carol Amos and Kathy Stark, the season got off to a good start with daily prac- tices and matches twice a week until October. Coach Wayne Danielson provided guidance for the Varsity team, while Coach Lunde worked with Junior Varsity. This year’s new division system matched Richfield with such schools as Minnetonka, and Edina East and West, providing some tough competi- tion. There was a lot of individual effort and improvement although the team didn’t improve greatly over last season. Rcgionals took place October 16 and 17, with most of the team los- ing in the first round. The season was concluded with an enjoyable banquet at Swiss Chalet on October 25. 1.

At least according to the swim team it is. This year the RHS swim team swam to victory with the help of the coach Mr. Hamrcn. The girls had their best season so far. The swim team consisted of a devoted group of people who were as comfort- able in the water as they were out of it. And then there were the divers. Divers, a courageous breed, were will- ing to ignore all forms of fear as they mounted the perilous board. With knocking knees, they slowly ap- proached the edge of the board. Then they closed their eyes and over they went into the graceful flight of a dive. These hardy people deserve a cheer for their faithful devotion. 1. What a dive! 2.

It was a time to sec friends and watch an excit- ing game. The guys really worked hard, including two hours of practice each day and two games per week. The season started shortly after foot- ball ended and continued through the end of February. The team had to work on plays together as well as perfect individual work. This year’s Co-Captains Jeff Westlund and Paul Dagncr proved to be good leaders for the squad. There were many close games; usually the Spartans lost by one or two points. The team didn't have the height that many of the other Lake Conference teams had, but it compensated with speed and agility. Coach Plinske felt the team worked well together. There was a lot of individual effort, too; lead- ing scorers were Jeff Westlund, Benjie Ar- riola, Brad Amman, and Mike Kielty. 1. The pinnacle of success. 2. “Swish” 3. Co-Captains: P. Dagncr, J.

Ability And Teamwork ...” November brought the ice, and Rich- field supplied the players. It was the start of another hockey season. This year’s team, led by Ted Coffman and Jeff Anderson, proved dynamic. Through their desire, ability, and teamwork, the players achieved a suc- cessful record. The team was coached by Jake McCoy and Mike Thomas, who set up a rigorous pre-season workout which included running, cal- isthenics, and weight-lifting. The team then was put on the ice for a few weeks of practice, and the season offi- cially got underway around mid No- vember. The games continued through March, as the Spartans showed their fighting spirit. 1. I put all this on just to stand around? 2. Awaiting their turn on the ice. 3. Look out. Mere I come! 4.

That was the way sixteen devoted members of the Girls’ Basketball Team spent everyday after school, unless, of course, they had a game. The games were usually on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. Ms. Kash, the head coach, oversaw all this activity. When asked to comment, one girl said, “It was a lot of work, but it was worth it.” They fought like winners and won like champions. 1.

A Challenge Of The Free Spirit.” It was hard to miss those hearty Min- nesotans loading their skis to practice for the RHS ski team. The team prac- ticed daily at Buck Hill with meets usually once a week at Hyland Hills. Captains Carol Amos and Wally Peck led the team to the slopes for a good workout. Each skier improved during the season and helped to con- tribute to a good team and season. Coaches Mr. Tadsen and Mr. Rausch helped individuals perfect their form for competition. On December 22, the top 5 boys and girls left for Grand Rapids for an invi- tational meet. There was plenty of competition and time for recreational skiing afterward. On January 26, they went to Welch Village for a similar meet. The team enjoyed itself. Not only did the team have a good time, but it also gained knowledge and ex- perience in a lifelong sport. 1.

They practiced daily and some Satur- days for 13 hard weeks, under the coaching of Ms. Herseth and assis- tant Ms. Selby. These coaches were new this year, and Ms. Herseth felt the team had been hurt by the addi- tion of coaches every season. She felt, though, that the team improved tre- mendously throughout the season. Many girls on other high school teams have had up to 12 years of ex- perience, while RHS girls have had about 3 to 4 years. The team also included a ninth grader; therefore, the team is young and building. Co- Captains Leslie Gibbons and Patti Rau led the gymnasts to many victo- ries. All the girls had a chance to meet new friends and know that their hard practice paid off. 1. Patti Rau uses good form in vaulting. 2. Co-Captains Leslie Gibbons and Patti Rau. 3.

A Team With Great Potential.’ “Hey, Coach, what color wax today? was heard near the ski room after school. The cross-country team pre- pared their skis for another hard practice. Practice included running before school or on weekends and then skiing after school at Hyland, Bracmar, Cleary, Meadowbrook, or Baker Park. Cross-country required a lot of stamina, yet it was enjoyable for all who participated. Girls' Coach, Mr. Splctstoscr, felt “it was a successful season, with a 6-2 Lake Conference record for the girls. Top skier Kim Case, captain Martha Hirmer, and sophomores Tracy Hyde, Jessie Wald, and Valeric Baker contributed to the success of the team. The coach also commented, “This is a team with great potential, and felt the future looked good. The boys team, led by Captain Mark Seidel, also had a good season. Coach Martignacco worked with the team on the competitive aspect of the sport. Junior Kris Huber was the most im- proved, and he, along with Duane Dcsrosicr, are good prospects for next year. The entire team improved very much during the season. I The final stretch. 2. Captains: Martha Mirnicr. Mark Seidel, and Jancan Robinson. 3. Pre-race contemplation. 4.

Goals, Drive, And Determination ...” For this year’s wrestlers, the season was one of self-made goals, drive, and determination, which led to a success- ful season for RHS. The team came out with an 8-8 record, with many individuals proving themselves excep- tional. Among the outstanding wres- tlers were seniors Brad Allan, Gary Cox, Dave Vogelgesand, Mike Gard- ner, and Pat Neuville; junior A1 An- derson, and sophomore Tom Rickert. Of the students who made it to re- gional, four placed: Brad Allan, A1 Anderson, Tom Rickert, and Mike Gardner. The wrestling season began with early November rigorous workouts every day for the wrestlers. The season end- ed with the state meet in March with Anderson, Rickert, and Gardner at- tending. The team was led in their “strive for achievement” by Co-Captains Gary Cox, and A1 Anderson. This year’s coaches were Warren Camp and Bruce Larson. Prospects for next year look good with many fine wrestlers returning. 1 Brad Allan pins his opponent. 2. A scream of advice. 3. Co-Captains: Al Anderson and Gary Cox. 4.

A Will To Compete.” Intramural sports was a successful or- ganization that allowed many RHS students to participate in sports with- in the school. All teams were formed by a group of friends wanting to get together and compete in fun. Beginning in the fall, girls’ soccer teams were formed with boys volun- teering as coaches. There were two to three practices and one game per week. The season ended with the big championship game and awards. The boys organized touch football teams, which competed every week. The champion team played with the facul- ty team. Each team enjoyed the com- petition and experience. The winter sports included floor hockey and basketball. The basket- ball season started with a three-man team contest. This brought interest to the sport and encouraged many boys to sign up. Baseball was the spring sport for IM. The new addition this year was roller-skating. Under the direction of John Strom- men, the IM program had many in- terested students. The organization was carried out with enthusiasm and a will to compete. 1. Teachers always have the upperhand. 2. Go in!” 3. Mr. Grimmcr’s always in the way. 4. The perfect lay-up. 5. Who’s the best? 6. Jim Schrcycr guards well.

The cheerleaders also organized pep-fests, which have also become a time-honored tradition at RHS. . . . They Screamed Until They Were Hoarse ...” Cheerleaders have come a long way since those knickcr-clad girls led the fans through the first cheers to hit RHS in the mid-fifties. But many tra- ditions of being a cheerleader have remained the same. The girls involved felt honored in being picked to repre- sent their school. To prove their dedi- cation, they spent many hours during During the years as cheerleaders, most of the girls also perfected their baking skills, whipping up their gour- met creations before the games, while many girls also came out with strong arms from decorating many trees in the area with a toss of a roll of paper. The experience of being a cheerleader has remained, and probably will for many years, a position most girls will fondly remember throughout their lives. 68 Cheerleaders 1.

The 1978-79 line practiced sev- eral hours a week, including Monday and Friday nights, to live up to the reputation held by the group. Under the guidance of graduate Beth Wag- ner, they worked out innovative musi- cal routines. After football season, the Tapettes performed at several pep fests and basketball games. Also, to raise mon- ey for a trip to St. Louis in May, they sold fruit along with the band. Not every Tapette could become a Ta- paire, but everyone was glad for the year she had and the new friends she made. 1. Tapettes share a joke during lunch. 2.

Like One Big Family . . . ” Dancer Wanted: Must be hard-work- ing, energetic, dedicated, have good legs, and experience pre- ferred. Each year this ad is run, searching for talented girls to be among the dancers on the Richfield Tapaircs. Once again, the Tapaires were one of the top dancelines in the state. .This honor was well deserved, considering the time and energy they spent prac- ticing and performing. Practices were held three times a week until 5 p.m., plus field practices with the band. Some of their performances included three football features, pep fests, bas- ketball features, and pom-pomming at the hockey games. Others included the Fire and Ice Coronation, the Tal- ent Show, and finally State Competi- tion in April. The Tapaires were like one big family with “ups and downs.” It seemed that when times got rough, the girls grew closer together. All considered the girls thought it was a meaningful ex- perience. The 1978-79 officers were, Debbie Nesheim, President; Sue Olson, Vice- President; Nancy Davis, Secretary; and Sandy Jentink, Treasurer. Tapaircs 7l A new addition to the Silks this year was the first RHS Rifle Team, head- ed by Brigctta Swanson. The team worked especially hard to learn all the flips and spins, making halftime even more fun to watch. Both the Silks and the Rifle Team sold RHS banners, current gifts and stationary, apples, oranges, cheese, and sausage to help pay their way on the Band-Auxiliary Unit trip in May to St. Louis, Missouri. SILKS “Every Year The Silks Improve . . . ’ One of the best parts of the football games last year was the halftime show presented by the RHS Band and Aux- iliary Units, the Silks. Every year the Silks improve, and under the leader- ship of Captain Carolyn Engdahl, 1978-1979 was a good year. The bright red and white flags added color to each half-time and pre-game. One of the songs that the Silks performed to was “Disco Inferno,” from the movie, “Saturday Night Fever.” FLAGTWIRLERS “ . . . Many Long, Hard Hours Of Practice ...” Who was the group that did the great routine to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band,” “Three's Com- pany,” and “Cabcret,” last football season? The Richfield Senior High Flagtwirlers of course! This year the Flagtwirlers were better than ever, performing with the Band during the pre-game and half-times at football games. Under the leadership of President Lisa Brennan, the group put in many long, hard hours of prac tice to perfect their routines. This be ing Richfield’s 25th year, the Flagtwirlers performed one of the first routines ever done by Flagtwirlers to the tunc of “Shake, Rattle, and Roll.” To finance a trip to St. Louis in May with the Band, the Flagtwirler’s sold grapefruit, oranges, apples, sausage and cheese. In St. Louis the Flagtwirlers made a very good show- ing in the marching parade competi- tion. The hard work and loyality of the Flagtwirlers made 1978-1979 a great year to remember. 1.

Putting a Spotlite together involved many steps: assigning stories, inter- viewing, and writing. The stories were sent to the printer, Tandem Press, and the proofs were sent back as they would appear in the paper. They were proofed and fitted on the page layout. Headlines and captions were written, pages were sent in, and — in a few days — a new Spotlite was born! This year Vicki Nickel was the Editor -in - Chief. Sarah Anderson, Judy Herr, Mary Karels, Greg Poehling, and Ann Thompson were alternating editors for feature pages, news pages, and sports pages. Penny Gitter was this year’s Photography Editor. 1.

Who helped with the banquet that the seniors en- joyed? Why, it was the those senior guys and gals who volunteered their time. There really wasn't a general senior planning committee as there had been in the past. Instead, before each activity, a faculty member would call a meeting to begin the planning. The committees for Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Fire and Ice, and Prom met together and thought of a theme, colors, and decorations. They also found a good band suitable for each dance. The day before the big dance, the members came over and set up tables and decorated. After the dance, they got the job of cleaning up. The senior banquet committee had to figure the cost, where it would be held, and the pro- gram. All the members really had a great time and maybe met some new people. They worked very hard to make this a memorable year, especially for the seniors. 88 Senior Planning Committees S SPEECH “ . . . Fun, But A Lot Of Work.” “It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work,” one member of the Speech Team said when asked to comment. This year the Speech Team had over 40 people involved in eleven catagor- ies. The catagories were significant speeches, original oratory, extempo- raneous speaking, discussion, aerious prose, serious drama, serious poetry, humorous interpretation, extemper- aneous reading, storytelling, and cre- ative expression. These 40 students were assisted by Mr. Curry, head coach, and Mr. Oiseth, assistant coach. For the speech tournaments, which were held almost every weekend, the team traveled all over the state. Tour- naments were held in Duluth, Mar- shall, St. Peter, and Eau Claire, Wis- consin, to name a few places. The annual Spartan Invitational Meet was held on the weekend of February 24. In this tournament over 500 students from 30 schools compet- ed. Mr. Curry said that they had some “very strong speakers” and “things looked hopeful for the regionals in April ” 1.

Longest Season . . . ’ Did you know that the team that demanded the most time out of its participants and had the longest season of any other team was the debate team? The RHS debaters started their season on September 16, after working all summer on research. They debated nearly every week- end and Thanksgiving and Christ- mas vacation, through February 16. Many research hours were spent gathering both affirmative and negative evidence on the de- bate resolution for the year: “Re- solved: that the Federal Govern- ment should establish a compre- hensive energy program to signifi- cantly increase the energy inde- pendence of the United States.” Mrs. Marilyn Randle, John Taft, and Glen Bruder were the coaches. Seniors Paul Bclk and Brad Peterson, juniors Marie Miller, Peggy McCoy, Phil Dolan, Tim Johnson, and Bill Lee, and sophomores Rich Cotterman and Monica Lindstrom were the team members. The most exciting and rewarding events that took place of the year were Richfield’s winning the sec- ond place team trophy in the Met- ro League, Paul Belk and Brad Peterson winning the silver tray trophy in the Governor's Cup at Chaska, and Phil Dolan winning first place Novice Speaker Award in the Metro League. The team demonstrated dedica- tion and enthusiam throughout the season, and the team members will each carry the skills they have learned in debate with them in whatever they do. 1 Peggy McCoy finds a comfortable place to study. 2.

With the coaching of Mrs. Marilyn Randle, the team practiced long hours after school, gaining as much knowledge as possible in or- der to answer questions about all kinds of subjects. “If the team is rested and the two debaters are not tired out from debating,” stated Mrs. Randle, “they have an excellent chance to go farther.” She added, “Whether we win or not, we have learned a lot.” Five games of chess went on at the The Quiz Bowl Team of 1978-79 same time with the top player at consisted of seniors Brad Peterson Quiz Bowl Chess Club 91 TICKET SELLERS “I Bet You Want ...” Scene: Activity Accounts window on a typical day at RHS.

All I want is change for a dollar!” Ticket Seller: “I’m sorry, we can’t give change.” Like many other groups at RHS, this year’s enthusiastic ticket sellers had fund raisers. They sold garters and Frustration Pencils. With the money they earned, they, along with their ad- visors, Mrs. Fuselier and Mrs. Soren- son, went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater to see Camclot. “It’s a fun way to spend a study hall,” seemed to be the popular opinion. 92 Tickct Sellers 4VA fe «K ' y , 'v A L'A . o .

This was accomplished by advertising and passing out programs at games. Several money-making projects, in- cluding a garage sale, concessions, and a car wash helped raise money for a pancake breakfast, a lock-in, and a day at Valleyfair. This year’s officers were President Jan Sannes, Vice-President Marilyn Sundcm, Secretary Tami Miller, and Treasurer Jill McClain.

These were the impressions that Mork got when he visited good ole RHS. On entering Richfield High, we had to reas- sure Mork that the sound he heard wasn’t the cavalry stampeding, only twelve senior girls walking down the hall in their clogs or boots. Next, Mork ran into a girl (or was it a guy?) that had plugged her (his?) finger into a socket and came out with frazzled hair. “No, Mork, that was the ‘curly’ hairdo you can get by paying fifty dollars at a salon.” Looking around between classes, Mork no- ticed Connie Cosmo, who, from day to day, hit all extremes. One day she had on her thrcc-sizes-too-small Calvin Kleins, and the next she wore her layered ensemble. But then Mork spied Millie-Middlc-of-thc-Road, who wears the basics: Levi jeans or cords, match- ing shirts, sweaters, and vests. Observing RHS’s guys, Mork recognized that there was a basic trend they all seem to follow. Their wardrobes consisted of two- hundred Levi jeans and cords (one hundred ninety-five of which they never wore), co- ordinating turtlenecks and sweaters, and thousands of flannel, checked, striped, you- name-it shirts. Mork discovered, after shopping in our gro- cery stores and rooming with Mindy, that the motto for 1978-79 was definitely “litc.” We had everything from lite beer to lite sugar to lite cake mixes! All America seemed to be on a weight conscious kick. Undoubtedly the most popular TV program among RHS students, Mork discovered, was his show Mork and Mindy. The most popular movies were Animal House, which started a toga craze that swept the country and Super- man, The Movie. Mork’s comment about the fads and fashions of 1979 was, “Nanu- Nanu.” e Fads And Fashions 95 NHS “ . . . Elite Organization Were you at the “Brownie Tea” on Jan. 23? I was! Did you get a singing valentine? Well that’s nothing, I got to sing them! How did you like the banquet on March 5, or didn’t you go? Some of us got to wear a gold tassel at graduation. Just a minute, let me explain my “elite organization” to those of you. We were rated by the teachers in the areas of service, lead- ership, and character. We also had to maintain a “B” average. After the rating and tallying of the results, the members were chosen. This year 15-18% of the senior class and 7-8% of the juniors were selected. The NHS leaders were Ryne DeV- ries, President; Cathy Carlson, Vice- President; Bcnjie Arriola, Secretary; and Ann Mittelsteadt, Treasurer. Those of us in NHS felt deeply hon- ored that we were the ones chosen from our school. For those of you who arc going to try to make NHS next year, one word of advice, keep smiling at your teachers! 96 NHS 1. Row 1: A. Thompson. M. Fedora. H. Zubar. S. Mocn, K. Morgan. Row 2: T.

Its main purpose was to make new programs available to the student body. Some of the ex- amples of work accomplished by the Student Government was the student lounge, student exchange programs, and commanding good attendance policy. The Student Government in RHS consisted of two separate branches: the School Council and the Student Senate of which Mr. Walker was the advisor. The council and the senate worked on the same problems but of- ten came up with different solutions, which provided most everyone with the opportunity to state his opinions. I The Executive Board consisted of Student Body President, Judy Herr; | Vice President, Bonnie Butler; Secre- tary, Diane Prohofsky; Treasurer, ' Joel Halvorson; Administrative Chairperson, Ginger Gleason; and Academic Chairperson, Jeanne Cos- grove. It was the responsibility of the Executive Board to plan the meetings and make sure that decisions, which were decided on, were carried out. Student Government was an impor- tant and exciting aspect of RHS which was sometimes overlooked, but it was said that without the council and senate together with the activities they provided, students and facility would find life at RHS a little bit dull. 98 School Government 1.

Led by Bob Bjorklund and Tri-Cap- tains Dan Lerom, Jeff Westlund, and Nancy Solberg, FCAers took part in a variety of activities. Monday night meetings consisted mainly of a Bible study and discussion, but parties, ral- lies, and some friendly competition with the Kennedy group were not out of order. In addition to the regular meetings, “huddle” members had the opportunity to share their faith with other athletes at banquets and sum- mer conferences. The most significant contribution of the Fellowship to its participants was, as one person put it, “the friendship and closeness that we built with each other over the year and the maturity in Christ that resulted from it.” Most found it a refreshing way to begin the week and value the thoughts and ex- periences they had.

Experience For A Future Career.” Office Education Association (OEA)j was a program designed for the senior' high school student to get an educa- tion while getting experience for a fu- ture career. The students attended, school in the morning, enrolled in four classes, and in the afternoon they worked in offices in Richfield, Bloom- ington, Edina, or Minneapolis. This year there were twenty-four stu- dents employed, averaging fifteen to twenty hours per week. OEA Coor- dinator, Mr. Dick Johnson, felt this program provided students with a good way to obtain knowledge and improve their communicating skills. 2 1. Chapter officers: Row I: R. Dean. B. Bauman.

This unique group of people, consists of teachers, students, and alumni. It is headed by Dr. Grimmer, Mr. Danielson, and Mr. Camp. They get together and play basketball that includes a little “one-on-one and “five-on-five. It gives the students a chance to beat the teachers. This started in October and went on all year until spring. This year there were many awards given: Earliest Riser-Greg Hohen- stien.

DECA, which was coordinated and advised by Mr. Shcr, has three phases which help students prepare for the careers they choose. One phase was marketing in which skills in marketing and distribution were taught. Speakers often came to discuss their experiences in the job world. Some students chose a job, with the help of Mr. Sher, and were able to leave school at twelve o’clock. Some DECA projects were a Thanks- giving Dinner for Senior Citizens, the Happenings Book fund raiser, and DECA month in November with a new project every day during the month. DECA members also entered competition on three levels: district, state, and national. In this past year, Richfield brought home approxi- mately 132 of 185 trophies, including boy and girl students of the year.

On the tenth grade level, the curriculum cen- tered around the main theme of American His- tory. Two trimesters were about the general history of the U.S., but during the third trimes- ter students chose from the following: Revolu- tionary America, Contrasting Decades, Ameri- can Indians, and Space-Age Ameria. Some of the well known movies shown were Bridge on the River Kwai and CooI Hand Luke. The movies were true adventures and very interest- ing to watch. By the eleventh grade the main theme had broadened and become World History. First trimester students were required to learn the answer to the question, “What makes a state a state?” In the second trimester juniors had a choice between World War I, World Order, and Post World War II. Third trimester choices consisted of World Religions, World War II Archeology, and Ancient World. Mov- ies seen were, The Blue Max and Mary Queen of Scots.

Learning basic anatomy through cat dissection was a memorable experience for all. General Chemistry, Chem Study, and General College Chemistry proved equally exciting, and College Chem students had the opportunity to take the course for college credit.

Vocational Skills Readily Developed.” 118 Busincss Education Richfield students had an opportunity to devel- op both personal and vocational skills through the wide range of courses offered in Business and Distributive Education. MARKETABLE SKILLS could be acquired through such courses as Shorthand, Accounting. Modern Of- fice Procedures, Typewriting, and Business Machines. ON-THE-JOB work experience was available during the senior year by enroll- ing in the Office Education or Distributive Education programs, which allowed students to gain valuable work experience on an afternoon job while attending classes in the morning. Stu- dents interested in business courses for PER- SONAL USE enrolled in Typewriting, Re- cordkeeping, Business Machines, Insurance, Consumer Affairs, Law You, and Business Study. A ready job market awaited Richfield students who took the vocational courses since Richfield had more employers calling about good office positions than there were students to fill those positions. Post secondary training was available in the Twin City area, so some students furth- ered their business training by enrolling at a Community College or vocational school. A strong high school background allowed the Richfield graduate to shorten the time required for additional education. Harold Dave Maimer Rocsler Dave Sher Scharlott Walstcdt 1. Concentration. 2.

Well, then it sounds as if you should have got in shape, and what better way was there than participating in one of the many physical edu- cation classes offered at RHS? For many people physical education was the best part of the day. Although only sophomores were required to take P.E. class, many other students filled their days with one, two. or even three classes a day. Some students claimed to have taken gym as an “easy credit. but most took it for the enjoyment and self-fulfillment of participating in an individual sport. Though the teaching staff was smaller this year, there was still a large variety of courses offered. Among the classes offered were team sports such as Hag-football, basketball, soccer, and softball, and individual sports like racket sports, gymnastics, and dance. Many classes were co-ed, which may account for some per- centage of interest in P.F.. Most gym classes were taken for the opportuni- ty to have an enjoyable break in the school day, but the students received rewards through their participation such as learning to work with oth- ers. In these days of growing physical aware- ness, the students learned to put their spare time to use by participating in some sort of activity, using acquired skills learned through P.F.. participation.

Some of the topics covered in the course were: nutrition, mental illness, com- municable diseases, and cancer. Students learned much about health, not only in their own lives but also within their society. Films, readings, filmstrips, and demonstrations were ways in which health material was presented. Many students benefitted from the class. Charles Donna DeCorscy l.undc 1. CPR 2. Now. I want you to remember this, class.” 3. Is this gonna be on the test?” Health 123 MATH “ . . .

If you were one of the many students who took a foreign language, you would have replied, “Yes indeed, I do understand you. A basic un- derstanding of the language and the ability to communicate were part of what was taught in the foreign language classes. Students were giv- en the opportunity for studies in French, Ger- man, and Spanish. These courses were designed not only to learn the language but to learn of the customs of a different country and exper- ience fun and friendship. The foreign languages held various activities outside of class. Each language took an after- noon to experience “a taste of their country when they went to a restaurant that specialized in foods from their country. Students had the opportunity to buy carnations from the “Frcnchics and jewelry from the Spaniards . Each language sponsored a din- ner theater for the production of Fantasticsand celebrated Christmas with carols and goodies. Foreign language students gained not only a knowledge of a different language, people, and culture but also a growth in their ability to understand and communicate with people. 1.

It must have been a band member trying to raise money for the St. Louis trip. Under the direction of Mr. Lundahl, every- one joined together and worked per- sistently to make all projects success- ful. The band marched and performed in all weather, practicing lor parades and competition. It also rehearsed di- ligently for concerts and half-time shows. 1978-79 was a special year for all mu- sicians because they not only im- proved technical skills but learned that cooperation was essential for success.

The common phrase, “pulling your own strings,” was typical of this year’s RHS orches- tra. The orchestra worked hard, but had a great and exciting time. This excitement was reflect- ed by the character the orchestra put in its music. Mr. Gagnon, the director, has one major goal each year: to get the students to appreciate all kinds of music ranging from popular to clas- sical. This was the second year that there were two classes of orchestra. However, the two classes combined for concerts, which took place every trimester: Orchestra-Choir concert in the fall, the Winter Festival in the winter, and the Con- certo Concert in the spring. The RHS Orchestra also had a small ensemble group called the Spartan Strings which per- formed at teas, banquets, and other community events. The high point of the whole year was an ex- change trip with the Proctor High School Or- chestra. The Procter students came to Rich- field in the winter, and Richfield went to Procter in the spring. The orchestra worked hard by selling popcorn and other items to raise money for this trip.

With its 34 courses, it provided a wide variety for students to choose from in an at- tempt to provide the students with a good back- ground in the arts. Students were allowed to express themselves in many art forms: sculpture, pottery, painting, drawing, jewelry, advertising, and layout and design. Favorite courses were Lettering, Jewel- ry, and Pottery. Students not only found enjoyment in their work but also learned that the ability to “see and use the elements of design correctly were important to create a successful composition. They also learned that when they did their best and produced a project that they liked, they had a feeling of satisfaction. 1. Silversmith Leslie Rindal. 2. Bob Anderson puts on the final touches. 3.

Useful.’ Did you ever sit in class and wonder, “When am I ever gonna need this in the real world? What a waste!” Well, since most people use cameras some- time in life, photography seemed a useful and appli- cable class. To develop the necessary skills for per- sonal photography, five main areas were covered in Basic Black and White Photography: photo compo- sition, camera handling, flash pictures, photo deco- ration, and also some responsibility. Photography was fun, too, because each student was allowed some freedom to work on things of personal interest. John Nelson 13X Photograph) 1. Barb Focll gelling her negative ready. 2.

There were two main types of Home Art classes: food and clothing. Food classes, taught by Mrs. Holman and Mrs. Trench, ranged from basic Foods for You to more advanced International and Specialty Foods. Clothing classes, taught by Miss Mickelson, ranged from Developmental Cloth- ing to Tailoring or Specialty Fabrics for the ad- vanced sewer. Another popular Home Art class was Leisure Time Activities, in which students made jelly and learned to knit and crochet. Housing and Home Furnishings helped students learn about dif- ferent styles of houses and furnishings. Due to this wide variety of classes. Happy Homemakers had their cake and ate it too!

That is why students appreciated the work of the nurse, guidance counselors, and media staff. The nurse had to treat everything from “owies to the common cold. She also tested hearing and sight periodically. The counselors were in- volved with schedules, working with problem students and teacher-student conflicts. Work with senior post-high school planning was ac- complished through monthly bulletins, meet- ings, and counseling. They also helped with college testing and applications. The media staff had a busy schedule everyday, too. They had to work with study hall, health students, and afterschool studies. The continous ex- change of books had to be kept in order. ur c. Media. Guidance 143 VO-TECH “. . . Provided Professional Training . . ” From commercial art to auto mechanics, you name it, Vo-Tech has a course for it. Vo-Tech provided students with professional training in many different career areas. Classes were held at the Suburban Area Vo-Tech School in Eden Prairie. This meant that students who were en- rolled spent the morning at Richfield while they completed their basic elas. .% and spent their afternoon at Vo-Tech. Vo-Tech was able to provide its students wit the fundamentals in many practical caree choices. They also were successful in preparin students to enter a career after high school, but more importantly they provided them with a good starling point for further study. 144 Vo-Tech Sludenls who needed help in one or more areas of academic concentration had a large range of opportunities available to them at RI IS. With a large staff of tutors, the Individualized Instruc- tion Department was able to provide its stu- dents with individually programmed courses of study. The students participating were measured for their skill level and were then set up with a program which was suited to their level of knowledge. It was the job of these classes to see that each student was set up with a course just INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION “. . . A Large Range Of Opportunities ...” right for him.

Bus Drivers What would it be like if most of the students had to find their own way to school, bring their own lunch, and clean up, besides going through a long day at school? We sure appreciated the bus drivers, cooks, and janitors for their work. The bus drivers started picking up students at 7 a.m. and worked all day transporting vo-tech students, and field trip groups, among other duties. Some also worked with lower grade stu- dents. Food preparation began in the morning. The cooks planned menus for each month and then prepared food daily for almost 2,000 stu- dents. Careful planning was required to make sure everything ran smoothly for both lunches. Janitors worked two shifts and were responsible for maintenance and cleaning. From repairing broken windows to cleaning up spilt paint;the janitors had their work cut out for them. 1. Cooks serve many students at two lunches. 2.

Without these hard working people RHS would be chaotic. Books would pile up; phones would be constantly ringing; paper work would pile sky high; and the guidance office would be a catastrophe.

Girls’ Team ...” This was the second year of girls’ soft- ball at RHS, and it was quite a season to be remembered. Under the coach- ing of Ginger Peterson (varsity) and Debbie Gieger (J.V.), the varsity team was runner-up in Region 6AA and J.V. came in second at the Re- gional. Coach Peterson stated that they were “the best that any girls’ team has done at Richfield.’’ That was an accomplishment to be proud of. The captains were Pam Naslund and Lori Pearson.

The Team Worked Hard . . . Who were the guys out soaking up the rays every day after school on the ten- nis courts? They were the RHS boys' tennis team, of course! According to one team member, “The best way to get a tan and have fun at the same time is to get out and cook on the asphalt while playing tennis.” Besides getting tan, the team worked hard un- der the coaching of Mr. Michel (var- sity) and Mr. Danielson (J.V.). The teams’ South Division record was 2-6 and their Lake Conference record was 5-7. The team really showed their skill when it won the South Metro Tournament against Austin, Wash- burn, and Kennedy. The team captain was Marsh Schoewe. 1. Varsity Tennis: Row I: J. Gallcs. J. Anderson. J. Larson. M. Schoewe, M. Hasscnslab. Row 2: IT Gabriel- son, T. Wang. W. Anderson, G. Grosz, J. Socldncr. R.

Accuracy was a must in this game. The boys’ golf team, under the coach- ing of Mr. Ahlbum, had a good sea- son, Its Lake Conference, South Divi- sion record was 4-4. It placed sixth in the Region 6AA and tied for third at the Sundance Invitional against 27 other teams. It also placed first at the Sauk Centre Invitational. The cap- tains were Paul Lhotka and Paul Coffman. This was the second year that there was a girls’ golf team at RHS. Coached by Mr. B. Larson, the team is just getting off the ground. The out- standing individuals were Robin Ames, the captain, who shot a low score of 57 at Lost Spur and was a two-time medalist, and Dawn Niel- son, who was a five-time medalist and shot a school record low of 56 at Sil- ver Springs and also shot a score of 60 at Braemar. Golf 7 ' V V MUSICAL “Without A Hurt, The Heart Is Hollow.” On March 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, and 31 RHS presented its first Dinner The- ater Musical. This Silver Anniversary production was the Fantastiks. The theme of this musical was concerned with the theme of growth, of disillu- sionment, of seasonal rebirth, and of joy. Though the boy and girl. Matt and Luisa, have known pain, they have also grown up, for as El Gallo said, “Without a hurt the heart is hal- low.” Directed by Mr. Marcell, Mr. Covart, and Mr. DeFreese, with the help of Cindy Bailey, ass’t. to the di- rector, and Jamie Rudman, choreo- grapher, the musical was a huge suc- cess. The Fantastiks followed an In- ternational dinner, sponsored by the Foreign Language Department.

That Special Evening ...” The 1979 Junior-Senior prom was for many the biggest social event of the school year. The excitement began many weeks before when talk went around the halls about who had asked whom. The time before prom was also spent on picking out those special dresses and ordering those special tuxes and corsages. Finally, the evening arrived, and cou- ples joined at the Thunderbird to dance to the tunes of the band “Ori- on.” The theme of this year’s prom was “The Best of My Love.” For the price of $7.00, the couples received many memories which they were able to record in memory books passed out at the door. They also had the oppor- tunity to capture that special night with a photograph which could be purchased that night from the school photographers. Many other events filled the evening, including dinner and perhaps a ro- mantic drive through the night. 1. I think we arc supposed to dance now.” 2. Mark always knows where the camera is. 3.

Hardworking parents once again transformed the gym, lunch room, and familiar halls and classrooms into another world with murals and deco- rations fitting the theme “On With The Show.” Seniors tried their luck at miniture golf, moon walk, and gam- bling games like horse racing, rou- lette, and bingo. Besides playing games, seniors ate, disco danced in the gym, ate, won prizes, and ate. Some lucky prize win- ners were Derick Swanson, who won a Moped, and Ann Mittlesteadt, who won karate lessons. Other prizes in- cluded fifty dollar gift certificates at County Seat, memberships to health spas, a rubber raft, and a ten-speed bike. Officially the party lasted from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., but most seniors ex- tended the “bash” by going out to eat breakfast. What a great way to be- come one of the newest RHS grads. 1.
