Roncalli High School - Lance Yearbook (Aberdeen, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1968 volume:

To catch and record this school year, we’d have to get all the sights and sounds, all the feelings — all the people that were a part of it. With our words and pictures, we’ve tried to catch a bit of that spirit, the enthusiasm, the big events and the everyday class, the things that made the year great. We hope that when you look here in the future, you’ll be able to find this spirit again, and remember your part in it. Aberdeen, South Dakota Volume II Roncalli High School LANCE ’68 CONTENTS Academics Classroom Students Faculty Organizations Sports Sponsors Catholic Education . . . For So Long An Idea For many years Roncalli was an idea. But these men took it upon themselves and their parishes to start the school, and to make it the best. The Most Reverend Lambert A. Hoch Bishop of Sioux Falls The Right Reverend Monsignor Henry J. Hoerner Pastor of St. Mary’s 6 The Right Reverend Monsignor Patrick C. Conway Pastor of Sacred Heart I Have Very Pleasant Memories of Roncalli Sister M. Loyola Mullaly The three years you spent at Roncalli, Sister Loyola, were years of dedication and interest in the students. This interest instilled in us a deep respect and admiration for an ideal person. The loyalty and individual interest you had in each of us can still be found when we hear your comments. “I think because Roncalli is smaller, one feels more a part of it. You feel closer to each individual one. In my book, the students are the finest. I have very pleasant memories of Roncalli. You will be remembered always, Sister. We wish to thank you, for your leadership, inspiration and the faith you have in us, by dedicating our 1968 yearbook, the Lance, to you. 7 ACADEMICS A Good Education Demands Rev.

Working on dramatic and humorous speeches in Declam Interpretation were Patty Andries, Nancy Davies, Mary Ann Fory, Tim Molseed, Beth Macek, Mary King, Mike Helsper, Judy Ell, Joe Fettig, Kathy King, Gretchen Matz, Steve Bell, Mike Morrissey, and Joe Siegel.

Many of these students took part in out-of- town workshops and contests which took them to Pierre, Sioux Falls, Vermillion, Watertown, and Doland. Participants spent many hours in research for their speeches and in practicing various techniques and their dedicated coach, Sister Teresa, spent many more hours in work- ing with the students. Mary King, Mike Helsper, and Beth Macek prepare their pieces for Declam. Researching for information for their debate topics are Ron Hixon, B e r n i e Silvernail, and Karin Seeman. Music Activities Develop Sister Jeanne Marie directed the Mixed Chorus, Girl's Chorus, as well as Keynotes. The Girl’s Chorus practices for their Christmas concert. The Concert Band, including grade school members, practiced three days a week at Roncalli. The Music Department undoubtedly claimed more participants than any other all-school activity this year. The band, under the direction of Mr. Jeffrey Arwood, consisted of 42 members. The band is divided into three groups; the main Concert Band, and the pep band and grade school band. Throughout the year the band played at pep fests, games and at their Spring Concert. Sr. Jeanne Marie directed the mixed chorus, girls chorus, Keynotes and those at- tending the all-state chorus. One other group, freshman boys chorus, was lead by Father James McCormick. Keynotes is a small singing group made up of a few members of the mixed chorus. They sang at meetings and banquets, and various activities throughout the year. The mixed, girls and freshman boys choruses held a Christmas concert as well as a spring program for the public. The All-State Chorus held in Huron last fall was the goal of twelve members chosen from the mixed chorus. Linda Crawford and Terry Quarles accom- panied for the choruses, and Nancy Davies played for the Keynotes during the year.

Roncalli Salutes Coaches and Athletes These six men helped lead Roncalli to a successful athletic year. Mr. Emmett Lenihan, Mr. Richard Sabatka, Mr. Garold Engelhard, Mr. Marvin Rasmussen, Mr Ronald Klingman and Mr Wally Johnson. Kick off, tip off, takedown, or the starting gun, no matter what sport the Cavaliers took to during the past school year, exulted in both determination and hard work. The names and faces may soon be for- gotten but their reign in victory and manhood in defeat will always be remembered. Though you the senior athletes will never again perform for the green and gold, you have added to the foundation of Roncalli High School. 84 Back row: Coach Garold Engelhard, Wally Bosch, Al Malsom, Tom Brown, Tom Kelly, Les Hinds, Jim Heil, Dennis Hartung, Dennis Fettig, Roger Schumacher, Chuck Perry, Manager Rick Craeber, David Feist, Assistant Coach Marvin Rasmussen.

Quarterback Dennis Fettig piloted the Cava- liers running attack. Tackles Roger Schumacher and Tom Brown added potent strength to the front line Ends Mike Frey and Les Hinds made up part of the passing attack as well as con- tributing valuable blocking Guards Pat McHugh, Wally Bosch, Kim Stohr and Al Malsom did their job keeping the center of the line open. Dennis Jangula and Tom Seiler ran for paydirt as key halfbacks. Halfback Tom Jung did his share of carrying the pigskin. Dan Swisher was another fine signal caller. Centers Chuck Perry and Dave Daschle provided the snaps. With Fall comes football! Coach Blackie Engel- hard had his gridders banging pads early preparing for the tough Fargo Shanley team. Just a week after pads were issued the team traveled to Fargo and lost to the speedy Shanley eleven 33-6. The following week they bounced back with a 35-7 win over the Webster Bearcats. Then the Mandan team came to town hoping to spoil Roncalli’s Home- coming. The Cavaliers made short work of the Braves, winning 26-7. The next week after a long bos ride to Sioux Falls, they were overpowered by a strong O’Gorman team 27-6. After trouncing Highmore 40-7 and an easy victory over Mobridge the Cavaliers upended Lemmon 46-0. The team won their last home game in a hard fought contest over Grand Forks Red River 20-13. Their last game pro- vided a heart breaker as they fell to Grand Fork’s St. James 13-7. A Long Hard Season . . . A strong defense halts Mandan’s drive. Ron Nikolas strikes again. An enemy bui Id-up is stopped cold. Cridders head for pre-game talk. Big Jim Heil pulls down another pass. ... With Its Big Moments Two Cavaliers seem to provide a wall of granite.

Four Wrestlers Enter State Meet Highlight of the ’68 wrestling season was the State Wrestling Meet. Roncalli placed these four, Roger Schumacher, Bob Schmidt, Tom Seiler and Steve Eller- busch in the event. Sit out, sit in, switch, were some of the commands given to the wrestling team in early season practice. Coach Blackie Engelhard, in his third year as head coach, lead his team to their most successful year. The Grapplers opened their season with eight straight victories; included in this was the Britton Invi- tational Tournament Championship. The matmen’s pace was slowed as they lost consecutive matches to Lemmon, Miller and Webster. After a win over Doland and losses to Mobridge and Britton, they finished out the season taking both Groton and Willow Lake. 101 Sponsors and Patrons THE PANTORIUM WEISMANTEL RENT-ALL FEINSTEIN'S REINHARD BROTHERS PRED'S LEONARD STRUDLE JACK JILL COAST-TO-COAST FURNITURE MART CHAFFIN'S COOK'S JEWELRY SANDER'S HOME CENTER WEBB'S P H BOOTERY SEARS DR.

In the spring production of the all-school play, Our Town, Tim Molseed took leading honors with the part of Stage Manager. Other important characters included Richard Janes as Doc Gibbs; Sue Fettig as Mrs. Gibbs and Mike Helsper as George Gibbs. Their good friends and neighbors the Webbs were portrayed by Renee Tieszen as Mrs. Webb; Steve Bell as Mr. Webb and Peggy Andries as Emily Webb. Written by Thornton Wilder, produced and directed by Sister Teresa DiDonato, Our Town was presented publically in the Ron- calli Cafetorium. Minor parts included Mark Kervin, Paula Schick, Mark Schmidt, Steve Crawford, Richard Trautner, Mike Grunendike, Dorothy Ott, Roger Schumacher, A1 Malsam, Beth Macek, Mike Morrisey, Rosemary Herges, Leland Zacher, Ed Kaiser, Mike McClure, Martin Lavelle, Bob Brown, Brian Fischer and Joe Fettig. The play concerned a look at the past— to Grovers Corners, New Hampshire and weighed its contents and worth with every town in America. Tim Molseed as Stage Manager takes the audience back to meet people of his home-town and portrays his ordinary friends, their joys, sorrows, and their basic way of life. The three act pro- duction dealt generally with two particular families, the Webbs and the Gibbs, and dwelled on their problems in love, marriage and finally death. Susan Fetting as Mrs. Gibbs, Rosemary Herges as Mrs. Soames, and Renee Tieszen as Mrs Webb discuss the town gossip. The Stage Manager, played by Tim Molseed, describes the town to the audience. Students Conduct Magazine Drive Sister Teresa receives her prize for outstanding salesmanship in the Magazine Drive from Mr. Sabatka. A very successful 2nd annual magazine drive netted Roncalli a total of about $2000, out of the grand total of $5000 as the stu- dents put forth extra effort to beat last years total. The amount was short, but was more than satisfactory. High Salesmen included Greg McClure, Dave Dobinski, John Weron, and Denise DeVaan. A dance was sponsored by the school; a reward for the students success. Freshmen led returns with $1,649.29, sophomores were next with $1253.72, juniors earned $1140.15 and seniors added $1,022.
