Andy Gibb, Billy Joel, Steve Martin, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--it's the era of musical movies and new provocative albums--from 'wild and crazy' humor to soft, mellowing sounds. Music has the impact of laying down what's thumbs up. It is the expression of our generation--our ideas of love, coping with problems, and how to live. 2 Contents The 'Focus' on activities ranges from club projects to a little old-fashioned bin. 'American Education', a fundamental part of attaining the American dream, includes a curriculum based on the needs of growing, maturing students in our school system. Spirit and cooperation have our 'Sports Illustrated' in the true sense of sportsmanship. All kinds of 'People' give a variety to the RHS student body and make it unique. INTRODUCTION 1-8 FOCUS 9-30 AMERICAN EDUCATION 31-66 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 67-90 PEOPLE 91-121 CLOSING 122-124 SPONSORS 125 INDEX 126-128 News, News, News. . . News: fresh information about intriguing people and places. Newsprint recorded the highlights of our school year, capturing the spirit and enthusiasm that we put forth in all of our activities. We were a part of a vast, fast-paced, and fascinating world-one that included new peace and new popes. Written word has made a methodical and concise record of an era which has evoked change and optimism-and one in which we were clearly a part. NOW SHOWING ■— I— John Olivia Travolta Newton-John 1.

Introduction 5 News Affects Roncalli Students Making the news requires an inflow of fresh, imaginative ideas, perseverance and an enormous amount of energy. Because we Roncalli students have these qualities along with our basic beliefs, codes, and cooperation, we were able to make this year a unique and special one for us. Prominent events that affected the lives of all of us this year included the increased price of sending mail and a human rights talk given to an Aberdeen audience by Miss Lillian Carter. The leaders of Egypt and Israel, President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin, met with President Carter at Camp David to lay down a foundation for peace between the two conflicting countries. And the whole world was jolted into a stupor at the news of the deaths of Popes Paul and John Paul. 1. Miss Lillian Carter speaks to an Aberdeen crowd about the need for preserving and securing human rights in the world today. 2. Sophomore speech class seems to be in good taste- -or at least Scott Dougherty thinks so as he attacks his sandwich, the topic of a demonstration speech. 3. Junior Tammy Scheid practices office procedure in the new office education block offered at Roncalli. 4. While the construction of main street was an inconvenience, the finished product beautifies the core of Aberdeen. Main Street was changed to two lanes and diagonal parking. 5. Freshmen students of Ms. Marilyn Buresh work on a group project in social studies. 6. Firing up for another game is what seniors do best. Introduction 7 Alterations and transformations -conscious and unconscious-- have helped our views of life to mature and grow - and consequently the whole world to adopt a new sense of direction and purpose. Headlining the news gives one a sense of confidence and self- worth. It speaks of a job well- done-an accomplishment worth recognition. We have built our future on a foundation of courage, pride, sportsmanship, and a deep self- respect for who we are and what we stand for. And these are the qualities that make just another news story.. .a piece of history. 1. The Camp David summit was a discussed topic in Roncalli's social studies classes. 2.

Homecoming is an enlightened student body showing all the school spirit you could find in the whole world. A pep fest in the gym helped fire up the students. In one skit, Kevin Cleberg downed five bananas in 30 seconds, which must be some kind of record. The outcome of the Saturday game was not the way the students had planned, but they fired up the team and inspired them to a comeback in the final half. -Tony Janusz Homecoming 13 Council Adopts Parliamentary Rules The Student Council played a major role in planning and carrying out Homecoming.

How would you like them to handle your personal pages-every picture, every article, every headline? Let me tell you, at times it was touch and go. More than once I almost didn't get sent to California in time for my rendezvous with the printer. Of course, it wasn't always lack of staff communication that caused my near blankness. Forces beyond their control haunted the strange shaped room in the lower level of RHS. A mixup of colored and black white film was only the beginning of our picture disasters. A last minute attempt for girls tennis pictures that turned into very blank negatives ended in a very roof-raising discussion. But I almost met my Waterloo on my second date with the printer. A week before my postal engagement, my advisor was told that the company who took all my individual student pictures couldn't send them. My film was ruined; the pictures would have to be retaken. Well, that gives you the background for the staff picture at the right. Mrs. Janelle Klapperich, the only advisor who ever loved me, laid down and buried her head in a sheet, hoping never to see me again. 1. Sean McGee, Terrie Volk, Tony Mangan, Jean Engelhart, David Blando, Mary Schmitz, Lisa Beckel, Betsy Arend, Carol Costello, John Washenberger, Debbie Raymond and Linda Kingery investigate the nervous breakdown of Mrs. Klapperich, located under the sheet. 2.

The sophomore class won the honor of being top- selling class with over $4,000 of magazines sold. For their effort, they were treated to a pizza party. Assemblies at Roncalli varied from pep fests to a gospel blues singer. Pantomimist Millie Dill and Caprice Rothe presented the art of mime to the Roncalli student body. The artists showed the students the skill of classical mime, dance and mask theatre. Mr. Herman Henderson, principal at a ghetto high school in Chicago, also visited Roncalli. He lectured on the problems and pressures high school students must face. Mr. Tom Winslow entertained students with gospel, blues and country tunes.

They see that quality programs of learning are incorporated into the curriculum and activities of RHS students. These educators also have secured the continuing involvement in the education and spiritual growth of young Christian people by establishing a well-informed and active school board. Such distinguished qualities are not often found in one school alone. This could be the reason that the Roncalli community takes such pride in their school and what it has to offer. 1.

Besides learning basic Spanish words, the students were instructed on how to use them in speaking and writing Spanish. Journalism I class consisted of learning about the construction and methods of publishing a newspaper and a yearbook. Meeting deadlines seems to sum up Journalism II class, as they were in charge of the publication of the CAVALCADE and the LANCE. , 1. Writing editorials in Journalism 1 class takes much concentration. 2. Spanish II students find that they have to listen closely to understand a foreign language. 3.

Language Arts 49 Classes Require Practice, Concentration One of the projects of Typing I class was the Christmas recipe booklets they typed. Each student was asked to get their mother's favorite recipe, which they brought to class and exchanged. The experience was good for them according to Mrs. Janelle Klapperich, because it taught the students to type from a rough draft and to proofread well. Office Education, a new class offered at Roncalli, was under the direction of Mrs. Sandra Levsen. The students learned the general office practices. training' has been allowed at Roncalli. Shorthand, also under the direction of Mrs. Levsen, was best described by the opinions of those students who participated in it. It's like a secret code that no one can understand. - Peggy Donovan. It's a change of pace from all your other classes. -Jean Engelhart It's a lot of hard work, but I feel good when I get an A on my tests. -Vicki Willett In March and April, the students were on the job. They spent an hour and 15 minutes each day working in an office. This was the first year that 'on the job Mrs. Levsen sums it up by saying, Although the routine is often repetitious, it pays off as visible skill increases. 2.

Business 51 Business Courses Prepare Students 52 For Future Mr. Marlin Reiners was the key unlocking and entering the minds of students in general business, accounting and business law. General business introduced the students to our American economic system. The students became acquainted with the consumer and his role in society; banks and banking services; insurance; saving and investing money; employment; and the American tax system. Accounting was offered to juniors and seniors. Accounting affects everyone at some point in their lives. Anyone with a taxable income is responsible for keeping records which could be checked by the Federal Government. Almost every employee pays to social security. Everyday, people are opening and closing checking and savings accounts. In each case, knowing the basic principles of accounting put the accounting student at an advantage. Offered only to seniors, business law helped students understand the law and why and how it is enforced. The students learned about contracts; credit; buying; selling; renting and owning property; insurance; wills; rights as employees; business organizations and corporations. 1.

The class dealt with more advanced forms of life than Biology I. Both Biology I and II were taught by Mr. Gary Schuurmans. This year's physical science classes were instructed by Mrs. Jan Bachman and Mrs. Colette Burchardt. With new books, the students were introduced to the basics of physics and chemistry. Mr. Paul Murray educated the chemistry students with the phases of matter and with some mathmatical concepts that go along with these phases. Physics class this year, under the instruction of Mr. Dan Lipp, advanced their works with laws, properties, and the actions of matter, motion, and energy. 1. Ryan Baker gets the precise measurement for his physic's experiment. 2. Mr. Murrary watches closely as his chemistry students do individual experiments. 3.

Science 55 Students Accept Challenges Of Math The math department this year consisted of five courses and three instructors. Mrs. Colette Burchardt taught the students a course in review math. Algebra I students were introduced to topics of equation solving, inequalities, and functions and operations of variables. The Algebra II class concentrated on advancing their Algebra I skills. Plane figures and a unit in basic trigonometry was what the geometry class dealt with throughout the year. The senior math students studied circular and trigonometric functions. Mr. Paul Murray taught geometry and one Algebra I class. The other classes, which included physics, senior math, Algebra II, and a section of Algebra I, were taught by Mr. Dan Lipp. Students Learn ‘Living’ Skills To prepare students for the future was the area Mrs. Jan Bachman dealt with in the home economics department. The classes involved in this preparation were Home Economics I and II, bachelor living, and child development. The participants in the home economics classes and bachelor living class learned the nutritional value of many foods while taking a basic cooking course. Students in home economics constructed garments of their choice, while the bachelor living class took on the challenge of sewing quilted vests. The child development course informed students on how to take care of a child from birth to adolescence. 1. Mr. Lipp gives some valuable information on circular functions to his senior math class. 2. The Algebra I class listens closely as Mr. Murray gives the daily assignment. 3. Lisa Diegel and Denise White test their cooking results. 4. Julie Huettl demonstrates her skill at sewing. 5.

Math, Home Economics 57 Gym Classes Stress Involvement Physcial Education classes gave all students a chance to take part in exercises and physical activities, along with the chance to compete with and against friends. The course was required for freshmen and sophomores, and classes were held every other day. The classes started out the year by taking the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. This included the obstacle course, track events, situps and other physical skills. Other units included archery and golf, basketball, bowling, wrestling (boys) and tumbling (girls), volleyball, which included a tournament; and a health unit. At the end of the year, the class took the Presidential Physical Fitness Test once again to note improvements and see how the students compared to other students in the nation. Under new physical education teachers Mr. Bill Coghlan and Mrs. Colette Burchardt, the students were taught the basics and fundamentals in each unit, before they went on to practicing the skills. 58 1. John Schmitz and Paul Gisi work on the fundamentals of wrestling. 2. Marilyn McNickle and Kathy Fritz warm up for their tumbling unit. 3. Sophomore Tom Henderson demonstrates how to do a correct pushup. 4. Steve Hinds goes up for a shot during the basketball unit. Physical Education 59 Students Develop Talents Sr. Rosaria O'Callaghan has worked diligently to develop the art department. Art at RHS has many aspects and the students have a chance to experience them. Creating art- sculpting, ceramics and painting were some of the student projects. When asked what the art students learned, these were some of their responses: I've learned how to be more creative. -Laura Pfeiffer I learned how to blend a variety of colors and to mix and match. -Sue Hornaman I learned the discipline of art and how to use my time wisely. -Virgil Netzer 60 1.

Mr. Poluka previously taught music at Herkimer County Community College in Herkimer, NY. The choruses sang for all the school masses, and even went down the RHS halls bringing Halloween carols to all. Roncalli's band was under the direction of Mr. Richard Orth, who has been the director at RHS for three years. In addition to playing for pep assemblies and home games, time was spent preparing for the Christmas and the Spring Concerts. Mr. Orth felt that, An older group produced a more mature sound and increased our ability to play more challenging material. 62 1.

Vocational classes gave students a chance to break away from the everyday classroom routine. They also received the opportunity of attending classes with students from another school. The classes met for two hours per day, five days a week. Two units of credit were given for each vocational course. 64 1. Mike Pfeiffer works on testing an engine in auto mechanics. 2. Allen Gates and Tom Kessler combine to do an electronic's project. 3. Dale Frederick, Jerry Lief, and Craig Nelson construct a gun cabinet in building trades. 4. Norman Stephenson overhauls a carburetor in auto mechanics. Vocational 65 Vocational Classes Expand Skills This year's RHS vocational students were involved in four of the classes offered. In auto mechanics, much of the time was spent working on cars, but some time was spent in the classroom on related information. Upon completion of the building trades course, the student should have enough skills to receive an entry job in this trade. The greatest amount of time was spent on the actual constructing of a building. The majority of time in electronics class was spent on electronic equipment that can be used in repairing radios, televisions, and stereos. Most of the time in machine shop was spent with metal working machines. 1. Greg Grote works on milling a part in machine shop. 2. Resting after using a cutting torch in building trades is junior Greg Schatz. 66 In summing up the season, 1 would like to credit Tim Pelkofer, Gary Walth, and Bill Hamak for their tremendous leadership. The qualities of these people set a pattern for the other runners. --Coach Jim Stephenson CC Team Places 5th In State The Cavalier cross-country team placed fifth in the state Class A meet.

From the fear of freshmen initiation, to the anticipation of the last day of school, the freshmen of 1978'-79, experienced a part of their life that will remain in their memories for years to come.

This year, however, the class of '81 is not on the bottom of the totem pole. As sophomores, they have learned to adjust to the pattern of Roncalli. Opening their lockers is no problem, the boys have learned to tie their ties, the girls have begun to embark in the school's gossip. The high school years at Roncalli are half over. The road will get rougher, but the rewards will be greater. 98 Sandy Albert Dan Austin Jackie Amtz Rick Backous Cheri Bain Teresa Barnett Mike Block Amy Bobby Jerry Bonnes Marian Bothwell Rose Braun Chris Bunker Bettina Buttaro Mike Butts Tim Cleberg Marie Clifford Marie Coffin Diane Dafnis Scott Daugherty Melinda DeCurtins Bryan DeForrest lan De Hueck Shirley Dix Jane Donovan Elizabeth Eckrich Suzanne Eckrich Patty Evelo Mary Fettig Terry Finley Scott Foley Dennis Fox Carol Geffre Dianna Gisi Rod Glover Lori Grote Lynn Grote 1.

As your school day begins, you find yourself running down the green hall. It's 8:40. You are late. You stop running because you have decided you are in no big hurry to get to history anyway. This is the third time in as many days that you've overslept. Well, glad you could make it today. You'll need a tardy slip, says your teacher as you walk into the room. Your stomach growls in reply. You forgot to eat breakfast again. You reluctantly plod down to the office and wait in line with all the other late arrivals, and then you plod all the way back. The teacher is just concluding the lecture ... something about the Civil War and slavery. The assignment is given, read the next chapter. Hours later, the bell rings. It's 9:15. You next battle your way to religion, remembering that today is Friday, and that Friday is report day for you. For English this quarter you are studying American Literature. When you get to class, you discover they're having a test, that you, of course, have forgotten to study for. Somehow you manage to get through it. 1.

Disorder, Growth At lunch you make up for not eating breakfast. You eat your 65 lunch and drink three cartons of milk. After lunch you check into studyhall, then you preceed to the student center. You plan to have a bottle of pop, but since the pop machine ripped you off for the fourth time this week you settle down to do your algebra problems. Finally, after making it through Albegra II, 3:00 rolls around. You leave school, vowing that Monday will be a better day.

Douglas Malloch Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance? Frank Moore Colby A single page in a volume of literature has hundreds of emotions written into it—though the words are recorded in black and white, to each person who reads it, they explode into a kaleidoscope of colors, feelings, and ideas. And what if this single page were included into a book of memories—would it then become something so special and unique that even though the passing of years will yellow and fade the pages, the spirit will remain untarnished .? What it will represent is nothing more, nothing less than what we choose to make it or remember it by. And it doesn’t stop when all the pages are turned, when all the “goodbyes,” and “good lucks” are said. It’s all recorded—here to look back on. And it has special memories and special messages— What could be more appropriate than to include into our book the thoughts of historians, philosophers, scientists and the like? For Memory has painted this perfect day With colors that never fade, And we find that at the end of a perfect day The soul of a friend we’ve made. No longer look forward nor behind I look in hope or fear; But, grateful, take the good I find, The best of now and here. 122 Carrie Jacobs Bond John Greenleaf Whittier One song leads to another, One friend to another friend, So I’ll travel along with a friend and a song— I’ll travel along Ten thousand strong— To the end. Wilfrid Wilson Gibson So little done—so much to do. Cecil John Rhodes God wove a web of loveliness, of clouds and stars and birds, But made not anything at all So beautiful as words. Anna Hempstead Branch To have striven, to have made an effort, to have been true to certain ideals— this alone is worth the struggle. Sir William Osier There are two ways of spreading light: To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. 123 Edith Wharton HE HAS ACHIEVED SUCCESS WHO HAS llVED WELL, LAUGHED OFTEN ANj3 LOVED MUCH: WHO HAS ENJOYED THE TRUST OF Jr 1 r •MEN, PURE WOMEN, THE RESPECT OF] INTELLIGENT MEN AND THE .OVlj: OF UTTLE CHILDREN: WHO HAS FILLED HIS NICHE ■NO; ACCOMPLISHED HIS TASK: WHO HAS LEFT THIS WORLD BETTER THAN HE FOUND IT, WHETHER BY AN IMPROVED POPPY, A PERFECT POEM, OR A RESCUEt) SOUL: WHO HAS NEVER LACKED APPRECIATION OF EARTH’S BEAUTY OR FAILED TO EXPRESS IT: WHO HAS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS AND GIVEN THEM THE BEST HE HAD: WHOSE LIFE WAS AN INSPIRATION: WHOSE MEMORY A BENEDICTION.
