r Rone alii High School Aberdeen, South Dakota Volume 10 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS WHICH WAY TO WHERE? DAY BY DAY 8 WORKING TOGETHER 44 SPECIAL TIMES 66 MANY BUT ONE 64 4 Which way? To where? Which road do I want to take in life? Where will I end up? Life, it seems, is one long, tedious, search for the unknown. Only you can find the unknown. But which path to follow? The directions and destinations are hard to determine, but there are many signs along the way. Your friends are here to help you. They can open your eyes to the truth about yourself. Look around you, where are your friends going? Is it the right path for you? Proceed to the next road sign. Your teachers and classes are here to acquaint you with new fields of knowledge. Do you see anything of interest? Why not follow it for a while? Now look at Roncalli and the directions it gives. Finally put it all together and strike out in whatever direction hits your fancy and keep on search- ing. Which Way? Now that you have been searching for awhile, why not stop for a few minutes to reflect? Do you remember good old Roncalli? What about all the things it instilled in you? Oh, you forgot, did you? Besides re- flecting, you are going to have to review just a little. Do you remember what you were taught during your freshman year? Right, one person speaks at a time. If someone is speaking, you listen. How about sopho- more year? Yes, that's it, all people are created equal. Now try junior year. You are No. 1 because Roncalli is No. 1, and without you, there would be no Roncalli. And now for your senior year. Yes, you can be a success. You are what you make of yourself. Besides just learning one thing every year, you learned of the im- portance of God in your life. Now go ahead and reflect. But never stop trying to find Which way to Where? . 6 RHS Staff Directs, Inspires Students Those emphasized in this section are the first major element of education, the second being the students themselves. The faculty at Roncalli consider teaching as more than just a job . Each faculty member tries to pass on just a little bit of wisdom in their goal of turning freshmen into responsible adult sen- iors. Mr. Lawrence Lohman and Mr. Richard Engler are sometimes referred to as the big wheels of Roncalli. Their job consists of keeping the school in steady rhythm. The guidance department consisting of Father Joseph Presinell, Mr. Harold Pardew and Father Anthony Opem strive to assist each student in deciding their direction in life. A major factor in the working of Roncalli is religion. This department, (continued on page 12) A.

Music Is the Soul’s Own Speech With the arrival of a new choral director came the idea of concentrating on large choral groups rather than on small en- sembles. Vocal students also found that they had to contract for their grades. Mrs. Mary Gelhaus worked hard to produce good quality choral groups. In looking to the future she realized that to obtain the quality chorus she wants, she had to begin at the junior high level so she gave much time and energy to those students in her music classes at Roncalli Junior High. Among the music that the high school choir performed was a fourteen minute Christmas carol for the Roncalli Christmas concert. Mrs. Gelhaus directed the girls' ensemble, girls' chorus, mixed chorus, and Liturgical Singers, which sang for all- school Masses. A.

Roncalli is graced by a highly developed art department which has risen out of much hard work and natural talent. The contribu- tions made by the art department to the RHS community are very highly praised by those who see them. Students often stand in amaze- ment at the work of their fellow classmates. Sister Rosaria O'Callaghan kindled the will to work in her students and inspired them to produce work they can be proud of. Many art students were surprised at the talent that was tapped in them at RHS. Art students had the chance to display their work in the RHS lobby throughout the school year but the goal worked toward throughout the year was the Art Show held in May in conjunction with the Fine Arts Festi- val. This gave students the chance to show off their talent and accomplishments. The Roncalli Art Department is truly fine arts. Teacher Taps Talent in Art Students A.

Junior Sue Hinds contently works to complete her woodcarving. 16 Music Makes People Beautiful Roncalli High School band members worked hard to produce the type of performance that made their director, Mr. Raymond Herdina, so proud of them. The band practiced seventh hour every day and also held ex- tra practices to prepare them- selves for concerts and the Region IV Music Contest that they attend each year. The band also fired-up the student body during pep as- semblies and athletic contests. Several Roncalli Junior High band members were invited to play with the RHS band and stage band. These junior high members were an asset to the band and a credit to what is happening on the junior high level. The stage band gave students with the will to work an exciting chance to increase their talent. Mr. Herdina is proud of the accomplishments made by the RHS band and the stage band and rightly so, Roncalli is proud of them. A. Mr. Ray Herdina directs the band in an extra practice before the Christmas concert. B. Jim Wolf is taught the fine art of playing his baritone saxophone by his director. C.

Challenge oj Educating for Home Life Is Met by Home Ec The challenge of educating young adults for better home and family living is, indeed the goal toward which Mrs. Merri Nelson strives for in the Home Econom- ics Department. The Home Ec I classes studied courses in family rela- tions, sewing, textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition and housing in which each student planned a room which included color contrast and decorating. Home Ec II classes studied most of the same with the ad- dition of a course in home crafts in which the student could select a project concerning the home. Creative cooking and meal plan- ning was also included in their studies. A. Mrs. Merri Nelson demonstrates a project in crea- tive cooking as Barb Schlosser, Karen Zerr, and Coleen Windham observe. B. Mrs. Nelson prepares a treat in Home Ec II. C. Lora Schaunaman smiles at the camera as Tina Burgard, Paula Sweetman and Becky Fritz observe a demonstration. D.

Mrs. Nelson assists Lora Schaunaman and Brenda Hamak in a cooking assignment. H. Testing one of his projects is John Devine. TV 21 Understanding and the ways of faith is an important aspect in the religious education of the students at Roncalli. Three directors of the faith at Roncalli get the message across very well. Father Bernard Weber, head of the religion department, instructed freshmen and juniors and Sister Janet Horstman was in charge of teaching the sophomores. Father Anthony Opem developed the seniors' sense of religion this year. Also in the area of developing our faith were weekly all-school Masses. Most everyone at RHS, at some time, was involved in the preparation and planning of the Masses. 22 M A. Sister Janet Horstman has a powerful message to teach to her sophomore religion classes. B. Father Bernard Weber consults his outline of notes to give to his freshmen. C. Seniors listen attentively as Father Anthony Opem explains the Eastern religions. D. Father Opem instructs his class on the major aspects of different religions. E. Pausing for a moment be fort continuing his senior religion class is Father Anthony Opem. F. Sister Janet s class of sopho- mores listen carefully to catch every word. G. Father Weber reflects for a moment before answering a question put to him by his class of interested juniors. 23 Guidance a Student’s Best Friend Where to go? What to do? Which way to where? Questions like these are often heard in the RHS Guidance Department. Stu- dents frequently go there to ask questions, get the re- sults of a test, look up some college information, or just to talk. This year's Guidance Department involved three very respected men: Mr. Harold Pardew, Fr. Joseph Presinell, and Fr. Anthony Opem. Emphasis is put on the individual needs of each student and tests of all kinds are administered by Mr. Pardew. The RHS Guidance De- partment is definitely a student's best friend. Vocational Classes Are. . . Vocational classes are very popu- lar in the Junior and Senior classes this year. Approximately 34 students chose to make a vocational class part of their high school work load. The variety of classes range from Building Trades to Health Care and from Electronics to Machine Shop. But Auto Mechanics seems to be the most popular with 21 RHS students enrolled in the course. For those who know where their interests lie and in what area they would like to pursue a career, voca- tional classes are definitely stepping stones to a suc- cessful future. A. Tom Cowles seems to think his Agri-Business course is really something to talk about. B. It may take two to tango but Mike Kaiser and Bob Tiegs find it takes several more to build a house as they attempt such a project in the Building Trades class. C.

Mr. Greeno studies hard before going to class. 28 Through their studies of American Government, sociology, European History, anthropology. South Dakota History, and career education, freshmen and sophomores are given a broad background of events that shaped life today. Freshmen studies included a semester of American Government, one quarter of South Dakota History, and one quarter of career education. Sophomores selected their course of studies by choosing to take a year of European History or one semester of sociology and one semester of anthropology. Teaching these subjects were Mr. Joe Kramer who taught anthropology and sociol- ogy, Mr. Ken Greeno who took charge of American Govern- ment and European History, and Mr. Francis Zacher who taught career education and South Dakota History. Answering the why, what and when questions seemed to be the purpose of junior and senior social studies classes this year. All seniors learned something of foreign policies of various countries as they took International Relations from Mr. Ken Greeno. Mr. Joe Kramer also took seniors for a semester and sought to give them an understanding of family life today and tomorrow in his Family and Society class. About 30 seniors al- so braved Father Anthony Opem's psy- chology class. Juniors once again joined other high school juniors across the nation as they delved into American Studies. Sister Janet Horstman and Mr. Joe Kramer at- tempted to aid students in understand- ing today's events by looking at their roots in history.

Ac- companying Mrs. Levson in the Business Department was Mr. Marlin Reiners who taught Typing I, General Business, Business Law and Accounting classes. The business courses give the students new skills and knowledge which will be a benefit to them later in life. As well as the challenge of the classes the courses will help in dealing with everyday business transactions. Sophomores are eligible to take General Business and Typing I. Juniors and Seniors are offered all of the courses. The classes are just as the name states. Business Ma- chines is split into two classes. For one semester Typing II is taken and for the re- maining semester work is done on the add- ing machines and other business machines. 32 A. Ann Pehoviack takes time to give the camera a smile during Business Machines. B. Mrs. Sandra Levsen helps Sheila Reis with a problem. C. Mr. Marlin Reiners is one of the instructors. D.

Lisa Schick takes a rest in Typing 1. 33 Students Discoverers, Inventors, Scientists, in Future 34 Curiosity and the will to under- stand the world in which he lives are what motivate a freshman or sopho- more to take the math and science courses common to his grade. The discovery of new things and the knowl- edge he acquires are what make a student continue his study into higher levels. Interest in general math and sci- ence for freshmen and geometry for sophomores was initiated by Mr. Tom Gelhaus this year. Mr. Dan Lipp gen- erated the will to work in his Algebra I classes and Sister Rose Palm in- spired Biology I classes. These teachers pointed the students in the directions open to them and en- couraged them to use their talents in the future. A. Mr. Dan Lipp looks over Ms Algebra I class before starting the lesson for the day. B. Using Ms special technique in the teaching of freshman Algebra is Mr. Dan Lipp. C. Mr. Tom Gelhaus instructs Sophomore Mary Helm in working out a problem in Geometry. D. Mr. Tom Gelhaus explains to Sophomore John Grabowska the procedure used to tackle a problem. E.

Mr. Gelhaus pauses to tMnk about a difficult question wMch one of Ms science students has put before Mm. H. Observing the disecting of a frog is Freshman Nancy Caven who can't decide who is feeling worse, the frog or she. X H 37 Math is considered one of the students' biggest problems. Sen- iors find Trig to be the study of angles and their relations in practical problems. Juniors in Algebra II concentrate on rational and irrational numbers, equations, and powers. Both classes are taught by Mr. Dan Lipp. Physics, Mr. Lipp's senior science class, is concerned mainly with practical problems of science, such as mass, velocity, and acceleration. Junior chemists under the direction of Sr. Rose Palm investigate compounds and elements; what they are made of and how they exist. Biology II, a new class also taught by Sr. Rose, deals with life and the processes that make life. A. One of the highlights of the new Biology II class was a field trip to the James River. B. Juniors Delbert Thompson and Paul Haffeman work on one of many Chem- istry experiments. C. Seniors Peggy Ell and Denise Hansen work on a Physics problem in- volving weights and measures. D. Sr. Rose, Chemistry and Biology II instructor, takes time out from cleaning test tubes to pose for a picture. E. Steve Daschle, senior, ponders over a tough Trig problem. F. Sr. Rose takes a peek at Paul Bormes' starling miscroscopic dis- covery. G. Mr. Dan Lipp diagrams resultant forces for his senior Physics class. H. A common practise in Trig this year is the use of calculators in solving difficult problems. A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body A healthy mind in a healthy body was what Roncalli students had been pro- moted to work toward this year. The Roncalli Physical Education Department was in charge of the healthy body part of that statement. Mrs. Peggy Johnson and Mr. Francis Zacher challenged students to work toward physical fitness and also to put fun into the activities in which they par- ticipated. This year's physical education classes participated in softball during the first quarter when it was warm enough to be outside. During the second quarter winter months, basketball was the main activity. Archery was added to the curriculum of volleyball, golf, tennis and track as the activities which the students had the chance to participate in during the third and fourth quarters. 3a A. Phil Hamak volleys for the serve while Brigid Steele captures the ball for her serve. B. Look at that high Jump!

Wayne Johnson frantically writes the day s notes in Mrs. Sorenson's class. He who has imagination without learning has wings and no feet. Sister Helen Friemuth and Mrs. Cheryl Sorenson have found that freshmen and sopho- mores often come to Roncalli equipped with very vivid imaginations. They have at- tempted throughout the year to help their students to define that imagination and give it body. Sister Helen and Mrs. Sor- enson strive to help their stu- dents to understand the import- ance of English in their future lives. They pondered into short stories and poems with special emphasis given to grammar this year so that stu- dents could write and read more effectively. English—the Bread Which We Grow on English is to our lives what bread is to our diet This foundation is taught by Sister Helen Friemuth, Sister Janet Horstman, and Mrs. Sandra Levsen to juniors and seniors in the Roncalli English Depart- ment. Sister Helen taught all sen- ior English classes which con- sisted of grammer and early English Literature. Sister Helen also assisted Mrs. Lev- sen in the teaching of junior English. This consist- ed of grammer and early English Liter- ature also. Sister Janet taught Journalism I and II classes. Journalism 1 dealt mostly with the fundamentals of writ- ing and editing. Journ- alsim II, which Sister Janet advised, pub- lished the Lance and Cavalcade. Preparing their students for the future. Sister Janet, Sister Helen, and Mrs. Lev- sen gave their students a challenge.___________ A. Mrs. Sandra Levsen takes time out for last minute preparations before Junior English classes begin. B. While folding Cavalcades, the Journal- ism I class relaxes and visits. C. Paul Bormes and Sister Helen talk over senior English assignments quickly before class begins. A.

We are presented with programs dealing with education and entertainment. Both students and teachers alike welcome these breaks in the daily routine. Mark Twain came back to life in the RHS cafetorium to entertain the students and present them with some of his stories. Johnny Palmer, memory expert, memorised the entire TIME magazine and did such amazing tricks as mind reading and making a rabbit appear out of no- where. Steve Perk, physical fitness expert, presented a program dealing with the do's and don't's of exercise. Mr. George Johnson from NASA pre- sented a program on space travel of the past, the present, and what is to come in the future. 46 Dorothy Ott, RHS graduate-turned- pro, performed her nightclub act for the students of Roncalli. Playing her own ac- companiment on guitar. Dot's songs ranged from pop to rock to folk. One of the most welcome specials of the year was an afternoon of school spent at the Capitol Theatre to view a special showing of the movie, Give 'Em Hell, Harry. Every year, the Juniors of RHS are given the opportunity to have their eyes and ears checked by the city's public health nurses. A lot of squinting is al- ways apparent on that day. On these two pages, some of the specials experienced by the students are shown. It would be impossible to show all of the special things that occur at Ron- calli daily in just two pages! SC Success Due to Dedication A. All decked out in hats and aprons, Steve Daschle and Mr. Engler find out cooking is not as easy as it looks. B. Dedication can be seen in the face of Dave Nikolas, Student Council President, as he greets all with a friendly smile and a helping hand. C. Members of the Student Council include; LEFT TO RIGHT: Freshman Jean Engleliart; Juniors Stan Schmidt and Liz King; Seniors Rella Pitz, Denise Hansen, and Kent Clausen; Junior Steve Eckrich; Seniors Marie Gefre and Steve Daschle; Sophomores Kristie Clausen and Tom Hovland; Freshman Peter Bormes and Mr. Engler, advisor. Having a successful school year takes determination, hard work, and dedication on the part of the Student Council. This year's council possessed all of these qualities. Under the leadership of President Dave Nikolas the council successfully en- gineered the annual magazine drive, a variety of homecoming activities, dances, parent appreciation nights, daily annouce- ments and numerous other activities. The thirteen member council, under the direction of Mr. Dick Engler, included representation of all classes. Determination Produces Lance With a small but eager crew of journal- ists, the Journalism II class again pub- lished the 1976 Lance and the Cavalcade. Under the direction of Sister Janet Horstman, Kathy Lauer and Pam Sahli edited the Cavalcade while Tom Carrels and Kathy Piatz took charge of the Lance. Cindy Albert kept the books and acted as Lance business manager. The Cavalcade had a new look as it was published monthly rather than bi- weekly, had several columns, and featured a full-page cover picture. Lance ads took a new shape as they vere displayed on an ad board in the gym. With cooperation and dedication by the staff members, both staffs completed a successful year. A. Co-editor, Kathy Lauer, takes time out to explain the Cavalcade policy. B. Sister Janet helps Kathy Piatz with ladder diagram planning. C.

Key Club is an organization that does things for other peo- ple. Advised by Mr. Harold Pardew, the Key Club takes part in many community-wide activities. The big project of the year is the Christmas wreath sale. Singing Christmas carols at nursing centers and retire- ment homes, and sponsering a school dance are only a few of the other activities in which Roncalli's Key Club took part. The 1975-76 officers are: President Bob Saylor, Vice President Ron Hart, Secretary Jerry Walker, and Treasurer Mark Schutz. Club Open Doors of Good Will A.

Growth With Service Participating in many worth- while events around Aberdeen, the Z Club was busy during the 1975-76 school year. Zonta Z Club is a service club, consisting of sophomore, junior and senior girls. Some of the events the girls were involved in include Christmas gifts for Redfield, candy sales, and plan- ning an all-school Mass. Z Club is under the direc- tion of Mrs. Sandra Levsen. The officers include President Pam Sahli, Vice President Debbie De- Vaan, Secretary Kathy Piatz, and Treasurer Peggy Ell. Competitive speaking was once again a familiar activity at Roncalli as debate and oral interpetation re- turned with the arrival of Mrs. Cheryl Sorenson. Debate is a highly organized argument centered around one topic while oral interpetation is a form of communication focused on expres- sions of the voice. Debaters included Sophomores Paula Cowles and Mary Donovan and Freshman Sean McGee. Interpeters for this year were Seniors Sharon DeWalt in poetry di- vision; and Kathy Lauer in dramatic prose; and Junior Debbie DeVaan in the oratory division. Mrs. Sorenson and squads used this year as an opportunity to learn what is expected and involved in the oral communications.

But have no words to tell how it is done. Drama is one of the most difficult and mysterious of the arts. The ac- tor must have a double personality. Whether he weeps or laughs or suf- fers the pains of death he must enter into the feelings of his character. RMS saw a variety of emotions and characters this year. With the arrival of Mrs. Cheryl Sorenson also came the birth of plays like The Curious Savage and others; each in- volving the emotions of both actor and audience. Laughter and tears helped make this year's productions successes. Know We’ll Meet Again Teach Me To Die Sunlight filters through my window. Falling from the sky. Time slips like a silent stranger Softly passing by. Life goes on in busy circles Leaving me behind. Memories, like portraits, fill the attic of my mind. Teach me to die, Hold onto my hand-- I have so many questions. Things I don't understand! Teach me to die! Give all you can give! If you'll teach me of dying I will teach you to live! I know that it isn't easy, seeing me this way. And it hurts to watch me, lying Here day after day. Trade your fear of parting for the faith that knows no pain. Don't be afraid to say Good-bye, I know we'll meet again! too. Bobby Oakes has made this journey too. He points out the ultimate way we are to go. To die in the midst of life is a tragedy, for life is God's gift and the world is His work. But life is a gift given freely and meant to be shared. It is not possessed by us to keep, but to be lived. And that is just what Bobby did. Bobby Oakes, a 15 year old sophomore, was challenged to suffer and die. Bobby accepted this challenge and he died of leukemia fighting all the way. He went out a winner in our eyes and he'll always be a winner. Never will we forget his impish grin, his contagious laugh, and his smiling struggle for life. We will never forget you Bobby..... Why so young? Perhaps the only answer of which we are capable is to say that dying, like conception, birth and growth, is a mystery, a process beyond our under- standing that we do not imitate and that we leave in His hands. And so, our journey, our vocation in life, is to walk forward into the future in confidence, because our leader, Christ, is already home and helping us to arrive there, as he did for Bobby. We give him back to you O Lord, who first gave him to us, and as you did not lose him in the giving, so we do not lose him in the return. The early Christians called themselves, not Christians, nor Catholics, but simply, The People of the Way, and their religion, The Way. These early Christians saw their lives as part of a great journey, led by Christ and His Spirit, to the presence of God. Because Jesus has already made the journey home to God the Father, we are assured that we can make it With Goals Set and Success A. 1975-76 Lettermen officers and advisor were LEFT TO RIGHT President Kent Clausen, Advisor Mr. Francis Zacher and Secretary Tim Janusz.

Caro Meets America Through Roncalli Imagine not being able to drive until you were 18 and no tacos in town. Ac- cording to Carolina Slangus these are a few of the things that make Helsinki, Finland different from Aberdeen. Carolina, Roncalli's first American Field Service Exchange Student, found life in Aberdeen to be much different from that in her home town. Roncalli turned out to be very dif- ferent from the schools in Finland but despite the difference Carolina liked Roncalli real well and found the at- mosphere to be very friendly .

One More Time For All The Old Times was on the minds of all as the tension and enthusiasm grew as students awaited the outcome of coronation, the talent competition, and the football game. As the 1974 royalty relinquished their thrones to the 1975 lord and lady, Earl Brunson and Pat Fettig, the RHS gym filled with applause and homecoming '75 jumped into action. All-school mass, a picnic, rootbeer guzzling, pie eating, pep fest, Mr. Lipp's secret admirer, and a faculty-student foot- ball game were all part of Friday's activities. From a wide variety of talent acts entered in this year's talent competition. Senior Kathy Lauer claimed first prize with her dramatic reading from Danelion Wine.

'uW 'I Cavaliers Dejend NEC Title The Cavaleirs, using an explosive of- fense and veteran defense powered their way to a second consecutive NEC champi- onship. Roncalli had a tough time in their first two games. You might say Central beat RHS physically and Miller defeated the Cavaliers mentally. Through three quarters RHS looked their best against the Eagles. Commanding the game, RHS had the edge until Central scored with 11 seconds to go in the first half. With momentum and numbers on their side the Eagles dualed RHS until they were in control, winning 18-6. At Miller RHS was mentally unpre- pared. The offense couldn't get together and the defense made costly errors. Mil- ler defeated RHS 11-6. Redfield was handled easily by the Cavaliers as the offense scored 22 points and the defense got its first shutout. Britton's homecoming was a sad affair for the Braves. Shortly after the half, the RHS varsity was replaced with JV’s who put the finishing touches on a 52-0 victory. Roncalli brutally punished Milbank as the Green and Gold put together a 44-0 victory. With Webster considered a top conten- der for the NEC title, the Cavaliers devestated the Bearcats 24-0. Cavalier Homecoming came and die seniors led Roncalli over another NEC contender, Groton, by a score of 28-6. A quick Clark team handed RHS their third and final loss 6-0. The showdown game with Sisseton cli- maxed the season as the Redmen came to town with a 5-0-1 record. RHS, 5-1, was hampered by vital injuries to their run- ning backs but came on to stomp Sisseton 36-6 and win the NEC championship. 73 Offense Scores 218 Points After a slow start the Cavalier offense developed into a well balanced scoring unit. They seemed to score at will in many of their nine games, crossing the goal line 42 times. While rushing for over 2500 yards and 107 first downs they established a new record for the largest margin of victory with a 52-0 win over Britton. The graduation of eight seniors will leave many vacant spots next season. A. Quarterback Kent Clausen looks for daylight while running the 18 option. B.

Brunson and Schmidt cause a fumble in Sisseton game. A veteran Cavalier defense which missed shutting out the entire NEC by 12 points provided the ground-work for a successful 1975 football season. With eight players starting both ways the de- fense allowed only 54 first downs and 1,471 total yards. The defense consisted of seven seniors and three juniors._ By dert t, P.

The JV's, who are expected to fill vacant varsity positions next year played exceptionally well when they replaced the varsity in four or five games this year. The Freshman football team won six of their nine games in the 1975 season.

Father Anthony Opem called his team the Incorrigibles, meaning incapable of being defeated according to Webster. With a season record of 5-4, the team traveled to Brookings to compete in the state tournament. As a team, the girls took fourth. Individually, the doubles team of Theresa Bell and Liz King made it to the finals. Theresa also made it to the semifinals in singles. With only one junior and no seniors on his varsity squad.

Considered by casual fans to be a re- building year. Coach Francis Zacher indicated the opposite. While losing the nucleus of the championship team of a year ago in Hornaman, Zephier, and Roby, this year’s team was of much better balance. The Cavaliers first tested their new five against an ESD opponent. Water- town. A balanced scoring attack lifted the Cavaliers past the Arrows 87-74. Starting out the NEC competition, Roncalli stormed by a weak Clark team Mark Graeber, Jeff Garreau, and Kent Clausen all netted 22 points in the vic- tory. The Cavaliers again showed tre- mendous offensive power the next night, beating the Gettysburg Battlers 91-54 behind a strong 40-point performance from center Kent Clausen. Roncalli, again led by Clausen with 27 and sharpshooter Graeber hitting many, put down all hopes and efforts of a strongly ranked Webster club. Re- serves polished off the victory, 81-65. Britton attempted to slow RHS down, but they failed losing 63-49. Redfield invaded RHS in vain the next week as Clausen and Graeber com- bined for 3 quarters of the total as RHS defeated the Pheasants 76-64. A Dupris-led Cheyenne-Eagle Butte team surprised the Cavaliers as they slipped by RHS 58-54, giving RHS its first loss of the year. Clausen set a new school scoring record with 46 in a win against Milbank, breaking A1 Lingor's record of 40, as the Cavaliers won 78-67. The Groton Tigers picked an unfor- tunate date to play RHS as the Cavaliers defeated the Tigers 67-58. RHS lost its second game of the year against Central. The Eagles played excellent, shooting a high per- centage. The Cavaliers found them- selves trailing and were forced to play catch-up ball from the start. The Eagle win, 85-64, made the overall series between the schools 7-6 in RHS's favor. The Cavaliers came back the next weekend with a decisive 62-48 win over Sisseton. Redfield couldn't handle Roncalli’s balanced scoring attack as Graeber, Clausen, Heintzman and Garreau all scored in double figures. Final buzzer found RHS with 62, Redfield 48, Ron- calli won the next two in a row against Mobridge, 55-48, and Britton, 57-53, to lift their NEC record to 9-0. Webster held second place behind RHS and had to avenge their earlier loss to gain a chance at the NEC title. All the Bearcats' efforts were wasted as RHS played better than they had earlier and defeated the Bearcats 67- 49. This left the Cavaliers 10-0 in NEC play. What appeared to be the end of tough ball games was a delusion as a fired-up Groton ball team shocked the Cavaliers 62-53. The loss broke RHS's , NEC win streak at 36 games. As of now, February 27, RHS is assured of at least a share of the NEC crown. This will be the third consecutive title for the Cavaliers.

The moments we've lived here at Roncalli will never be lived again. But this is not a time for looking back; it's time to look down the road ahead. Of course, things ahead may not be clear and directions may not be certain. As we stumble, squint, grope and learn by experience, we will find that the road doesn't go on forever; but we will find the way. These four years have been a time of running and walking, looking and searching for which way to where ; now we have reached the fork in the road. The which way to where is now our choice. 98 Cindy Albert Jean Andries Jean Backous Joan Backous Kim Beckle Kathy Bell Paul Bormes Tom Bormes Earl Brunson Tina Burgard Tom Carrels Jennifer Chauncey Kent Clausen Paul Clinton Pam Costello Steve Daschle Charles Deibert Dwayne Deibert John DeVine Sharon DeWalt Neal Dornbusch Mike Duch Paul Eckrich Peggy Ell Linda Emelio Rick Endres Pat Fettig Carol Foster Janice Frederick Craig Gardner Darwin Gefre Marie Gefre Pam Gefre David Grabowska Jim Hanley Denise Hansen Jean Harder Ron Hart Christie Hauck Martina Hauser Mark Hormann Tim Janusz Don Kirchgasler Konnie Kirchgasler Margaret Kraft Nancy Labesky Mark Lapka Kathy Lauer Barb Mattem J anet Meier Scott Meier Nancy Merchant Dave Nikolas Julie O’Keefe Scott Parkhurst Vicki Peck Harry Pehoviack Cindy Piatz Kathy Piatz Rella Pitz Lynn Roby Pam Sahli Ann Shares Bemie Schmidt Mary Schriver Nancy Schumacher Ward Schumacher ZNCAU 103 Dianne Sucflow Paula Sweetman Randy Talcott Tom Thompson Allen Tiegs Mary Vaux Bill Wall Tim Washenberger Ken Weigel John Weismantel Marcia Westerfield James Wolf Debbie Zacher Laurie Zerr The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh! I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence- Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

This year's Juniors knew how to go about things without much more noise than the shuffling of their feet, as they casually strolled to their class. Of course the Jun- iors got where they were going, they were just ten minutes late. At pep assemblies they won Joy Jugs; the only time they ever opened their mouths in school. Outside of school, tilings were different as the slogan was Get Down and Get Rowdy. And they were pretty success- ful at it.

Too young to go to the Student Center, Sophomores found it a year of inbetween. Not exactly looked down upon, but not looked up to. Trying to find a sense of direction, the class of '78 begin growing up. In time Sophomores will appreciate the year of school- ing. They can still be care- free, they don't have to worry about being mature, and know that Mr. Engler will treat them a little less harshly for being tardy. All in all, school is worth going to. Just think, you'll be Juniors next year!

Juniors and seniors regarded the freshmen with smug, confident smiles. Bunching into groups, the class of 79 walk down hallowed halls, opening a fresh chapter in their lives. All beset by similar problems, including finding their classes, opening their lockers and learning to tie shoes, the freshmen stuck together for the first couple of weeks. Later, however they blended into the atmosphere and became as everyday as hard buns at lunch.

Just where to go and what to do They were not very sure. They came across a funny man Who always told good jokes. He showed them all the way to go, Down to the slowest poke. They all went off to who knows where In any way they could. Perhaps if they did lose the way. Show them the path he would. And now it's time to say goodbye To all the friends they love. To travel in the way that's best Till they meet up above. To college, work, or family Each one of them must go. To seek which one is right for who, They must search high and low. Remember seniors that God cares When you ask, Which way to where? . We Love You Juniors, So True This year it was a care- free one. Filled with lots of hap- py fun. As upperclassmen they did rule. Or try, to rule this school. The concession stand was a big job. Pulled off without a fob. The prom proved to be lots of work And most involved went berserk. But all in all, it was a year Full of joy and of tears. And now they have just one to go To find out all they need to know. 120 We Love You Sophomores, We Do No longer babies of the school, The sophomores find it time to rule. With just two more years left to go. Which way to where they do not know. We've plenty of time, me and you. To decide just what we want to do. So while we're here, let's have some fun. Of worries and doubts, we'll ask for none. 121 O Freshmen We Love You We were the youngest ones at school, And often we did break the rule That freshmen aren't allowed to bud. And as we did, our names were changed to mud. But even though our heads were flushed They found it hard to keep us hushed. Whoever said, Silence is Golden Must have been born in days of olden. Silence, silence, silence is all that we were tolden. 122 FACULTY Mrs. Donna belle Backous 13 Mrs. Esta DeVine 13 Sr. Cherylyn Dinsmore 13 Mr. Richard Engler 10,11,48,57,87 Sr. Helen Freimuth 11,40,41,42,43 Mrs. Mary Gelhaus 12,15,64,62,63 Mr. Tom Celhaus 12,35,80,82,57 Mr. KenCreeno 13,28,29,30,31,76,77,57 Mr. Ray Herdina 12,18,19 Sr. Janet Horstman 11,13,22,23,30,31,43,49 Mrs. Peggy Johnson 13,39,80,81,57 Mr. Joe Kramer 13,28,29,30,31,72,76,57,87,93 Mrs. Sandra Levsen 11,12,42,51,32,33 Mr. Dan Lipp 12,35,37,59 Mr. Lawerence Lohman 10,11 Mrs. Merri Nelson 11,21 Sr. Rosaria O'Callaghan 12,16 Fr.
