Jon Ussery, Mark Meyer, Gary Tiegs, Mark Carlson, Paul Lapka, and Mark Rieger. The band was direct- ed by Mr. Robert Downie. concert - both I liked the musical's theme better than the concert because there is so much about patriotism around. And love is something that everyone is willing to listen to. (Jo Ann Deibert) To me, the musical and the concert are about the same. They both add life to the school. It's something to be involved in other than just school work. I also like it better than just sitting in the chorus room. (Ann Lanham) Our musical was really a lot of fun and I think that this concert will be fun, too. I've never heard of a concert in the gym, but it seems like a good place. Sr. Jean Marie really has picked out some good songs and she works us a lot, but it's worth it. (Roberta Herman) We started our tour with Sacred Heart School and the Junior High. We mostly play jazz music and a little old music. Mr. Downey started it last year and we just kept it up. I like it because it's a good experience.' (Cheryl Beigler) I really like band and Mr. Downey is a great teacher. He seems to care about us and does his best to help us. We worked so hard for the musical that we almost knew our parts by heart. (Nancy Braun) like any basketball, football, or track team, we need school support to improve on. An extreme amount of work and hours for rehearsal go into each concert, but playing for a full house would make it worthwhile. We hope that more people will be at our concerts next year and I am sure we can provide some good entertain- ment.

SECOND ROW: Mike Evelo, Pual Dutt, Greg Bell, The musical and the add life to the school. Ann Lanham Puckering up for his trombone is Mark Rieger, member of Roncalli's Stage Band. 27

 Who are you, why are you, what are you, and where are you going, may well be questions you'll be asked to ponder if you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior beginning Home Economics. I use such thought questions in helping students select a work plan tailored to their needs as well as their wants. (Mrs. Robert Haffeman) I thought it'd be a lot different than it is, I mean, like she'd tell you what to do everyday. But you get to study what you want. And, besides just learning homemaking, you can also learn things on personality and friendship. (Anne Schriver) My main interests center around Home Economics, so that's why I'm taking it. It's a course that if you want to learn, you can. I mean, you know and make your own grade. (Peg Bauer) It has been a pleasure to teach Latin at Roncalli. There is no limit to what can be taught in Latin— mythology, history, architecture, art, literature. These are only a part of our great Latin and Greek tradition which the Church so carefully preserved dur- ing the darkest hours of civilization. (Sister Loyola Mullally) I like languages and enjoy learning about other people and their customs, so I thought Spanish would be a good subject to take. I am planning to go on to Spanish II which is a compliment to the teacher as well as the subject. (Karla Bormes) When Gina, the girl from Brazil, first came here, I realized that English just didn't get through to her, so I was really glad I had Spanish. It's so much easier to relate with her. (Mary Daschle) Spanish I students, Kris Thompson, Mary Noble, Mary Jo Pauley, and Tom Schick, listen to Spanish transla- tions on tape. Spanish is one subject that I can really say I like. It's really a lot more fun than I thought it would be. If you're planning to travel to any countries, knowing a language like Spanish is really a help. (Pat Beckcl) Spanish II students prepare a taco dinner to serve to the student body. Sr. Loyola, in her last year of teaching Latin at Ron- calli, goes over translations with Bill Bormes, and Candice Bothwell. (Not pictured, Kevin DeVaan)
