Fire And Ice A Week To Remember Although there was not a great deal of snow during the winter of 1980-81, the week of Fire and Ice seemed to get more than its share. The week’s activities began with the Free-Throw-Shooting Contest and the Ping-Pong Tournament on Monday and Tuesday. Two broomball games were played at the ice arena on Wednesday night. The first game was between two student teams, and that determined who would play the faculty team. The student-faculty game followed. The faculty won 2-1. Sean Denman scored both goals for the faculty (that's right, the faculty). The King’s Coronation followed the broomball games. Nancy Wood entertained the royal court with her skating routine. John Erb was selected as the sophmorc page, Jim Bach was chosen as the junior prince. Finally, Mike Wilder was crowned by 1980 Homecoming Queen Tracy Ruud as the 1981 Fire and Ice King. Thursday was the day of the “Anything Goes” Variety Show. Watchers will remember the “Devo” routine performed by the Tapaires, an exploration into the “Twilight Zone” by the Tapettes, and several other songs and routines. Friday was Red and White Day, as well as the day of the Fire and Ice Week Pep-Fest. The week concluded with the Saturday night Fire and Ice Dance. Couples danced to the music of “Mississippi Red-dog.” Despite the cold weather and snow, Fire and Ice Week provided more excitement and enthusiasm during the winter months. 20 Fire And Ice

Champion Cowpokes A Stroke Of Luck? After only five years of existence the Richfield Girls’ Swimming and Diving Team made a big splash in Minnesota history by winning the state high school swim meet. Richfield’s state meet qualifiers were Shelly Hansen(12), Sue Korts(12), Carol Rendahl(12), Jo Jo Elsen(ll), Mary Kay Haupt(ll), Kari Nclson(ll), Lisa Mihalik(9), and Dcana Hcrmstad(8). The State Meet excitement peaked when it became apparent that Richfield had a chance to topple Lindberg, the defending state champions. After preliminary races the first day, Richfield was unofficially ahead of Lindbergh. Lindbergh came back strong the second and final day of competition, though, and tied the score 81-81 before the last event. Richfield’s 400 yard relay team trailed behind both Jefferson’s and Lindbergh’s for three-fourths of the race. Anchor, Shelly Hansen, quickly changed that, however; she swam the last 100 yards faster than ever. The relay won the event, battered their old state record, and best of all, won the State Championship! Way to stroke!!! . The look of victory; by Shelly Hansen. 2. Charming Champions Chat. 3.
