This was their first main project. They also added furniture and carpet to the student cen- ter. The Student Council is in the midst of many smaller projects such as trying to get a new snack lunch program started, senior night for sports, and more dances. One thing that has changed in the Stu- dent Council is the exchange of presi- dents. Ian deHueck took Pat Harder's place when he moved to Sioux Falls. In their meetings, held during school hours, they discuss and study problems of the students and the school. 1. Standing; director Mrs. Sandra Levsen. Marie Hovland. Jeff Bock. Paul Schmidt.

This gives entire classes the opportunity to attend Mass at the teacher’s discretion. Also, students from study halls are given the option of attending Mass more than once a week. At the half-way point in the school year it was found that an average student had attended Mass four times, as compared to the previous year, where less than 3% had attended the optional daily Mass at all. Students also are given the priviledge of celebrating all-school Mass every Friday. Many students felt the weekly celebra- tion had improved over last year. Feed- back on Mass was. in the majority, posi- tive: ... it was more organized this year.”, ... it represents school unity. , ... it gives you an opportunity to cele- brate with people you see every day. , and ... more kids have a positive atti- tude that makes you want to participate.” And then, there was the practical point of view. It makes 3rd hour shorter!” 1. Mass, celebrated daily at Roncalli. gives the stu dent body the opportunity to celebrate and receive the Eucharist. 2. Homecoming Mass provided the opportunity for parish priest and priests from Roncalli's past to gath er together in celebration with the students of Ron calli Here, from left to right, are: Father Steve Bar nett.

What do I know about U.S. trade poli- cies?” one student moaned at the beginning of the debate season. Soon, though, that student found, along with the rest of the debate team, that he did indeed know quite a bit about U.S. trade policies—or he would make it his business to find out! The topic debated this year was: Resolved: That the United States should significantly change its foreign trade policies. The oral interpretation part of the forensics department had two state winners this year. Shawn Smith and Bettina Buttaro both received superior ratings at state. Smith qualified for state competition when she placed first in regional poetry competition. Buttaro qualified for state com- petition when she tied for second place in regional oratory competition. 26 I Dave Renelt and Mark Baker analyze the affirmative case that led them to victories. 2.

Plays Show Happiness, Drama The Roncalli drama department was direct- ed by Mr. Nick Nelson. The first play of the season was Shaw's Arms and the Man.” The plot centered around a soldier (Marty Meyer) who jumps into the bedroom of a young Bulgarian girl (Mary Mangan). Her boyfriend (Jon Rob- erts) is a very proper soldier who has a crush on the maid (Shawn Smith) who is engaged to the butler (Mike Gohn). The young lady's father (Tim Cleberg) spends his time trying to figure out his wife (Su- zanna Matz). The student director was Anne Mehlhaff. The one-act play for competition this year was A Sometime Thing. In it. a drifter (Mike Gohn) and his tomboy daughter (Don- na Corn) try to cheat a widow (Tina But- taro) out of her life savings. 28 1. Jon Roberts. Marly Meyer.

Throughout the season, close games and close relationships were es- tablished between teams. 1. Senior Dave Deibert tries to get around a guarding Joe Zerr in an intramural game. 2. Maribeth Weber tips the ball away from Patty Evelo in a jump ball. Academics was a prime focus of Roncalli students this year. Willingness to work for their grades was evident in the length of the honor roll. Studying, homework, grades, tests, report cards, and term papers were all major parts of the Roncalli student's life. 2 Mr Dennis Maloney, school board president, reads the agenda at a meeting From left to right are Mr. Richard Engler.

Principal Father Stave Rarnett shares a friendly smile with students and is always there to lend a helping hand. 32 They Are Working For Us RHS is coming into focus. Who is helping? One major helper is the school board, su- perintendent and the administration of the Catholic School System. They help turn the lense to bring students into fo- cus. Mr. Engler enjoys the opportunity for him to be involved in an entire effort to improve the Catholic education. Fr. Steve Barnett’s enjoyment comes from celebrating the liturgy with the stu- dents. Activities play a main part of the Roncalli make up. An important person behind these activities is the main planner, Mrs. Sandra Levsen. She has set a goal for her- self to have the students really support each other in visible, spiritual, and emo- tional ways. New energy conservation measures also were taken to decrease the fuel and elec- tricity cost that almost tripled from the year before. Thermostats were turned down to 65 degrees during school and the students and teachers were asked to take special notice on saving energy. The year brought another new problem for the administrators. RHS was vandal- ized. More than once, the skylights' seals were broken costing close to $7000 to repair. a Teachers Enjoy Profession When asked what teachers enjoy about teaching Sister Darlene said. The oppor- tunity to work with young people in an unstructured environment.” Many of the teachers would like some changes made in their area of teaching but not Father Farke who said, Everyth- ing is wonderful, we have a great group of students this year!” 1.

The freshmen religion classes reviewed the basic Catholic teachings and discussed what Jesus is say- ing to them as teenagers. They also studies the Bible and viewed filmstrips on the sacraments. Sister Janet Horstnian. who is also the Director of the Spiritual Life Program, taught sophomore reli- gion. The year focused on the Old Testament with each student purchasing a Bible. Junior religion consisted of the study of the Bible and the sacraments. Guest speakers talked on death and dying, and marriage. Married couples also shared their experiences of marriage, both positive and negative. Seniors were introduced to. and studied the various religions of the world. Local ministers from different religious demominations spoke to the classes. Students Grow With Knowledge Of World Ms. Marilyn Buresh taught both freshmen and sophomore students. Government, U.S. Geography and South Dakota Histroy were all taught in the freshmen classes. World geography and world history were taught in the sophomore classes. Both Sophomore world history and world geography and junior American History were taught by Mr. Jim Stephenson. Along with filmstrips and guest speakers, a trip was taken to the Dacoth Prarie Museum. The senior social studies class started the first semester by studying sociology, which dealt with the investigation of hu- man relationships. The second semester was concerned with family and society. Mr. Bill Coghlan's senior sociology class consisted of 99 seniors. Mr. Coghlan felt that most of his students had a real will- ingness to learn, and he had a p-.easant atmosphere to teach in. Along with the regular social studies, cur- rent events were also discussed. Such is- sues as the Iran crisis, energy conserva- tion, and election year were all topics of interest. Mrs. Dianne Brenden’s psychology class which was made up of 37 students, stud- ied the behavior of organisms through films, demonstrations and lectures. When asked what she enjoyed most about teaching. Mrs. Brenden replies, The stu- dents.” 1.

Carrie Rivett said of the speech unit, I got a lot of information from the speech- es and learned a lot.” Shawn Smith said she feels that the vocabulary and writing she does in her junior Eng- lish class, taught by Mr. Bill Ford, is preparing her for college. The seniors are covering the different periods of time and the literature of those periods. Sister Helen Freimuth teaches the seniors. 45 ▼ 1.

Monroe Tinker said he likes Biology because it deals with life. Patrice Huettl, a junior in Mr. Myron Long- den's chemistry class, enjoys the labs most. Physics class is taught by Mr. Dan Lipp. Steve Bormes said he thinks physics is a challenge because there are so many formulas that can be used to solve things. Chris Rinke said that he likes physics because he feels he is learning something useful, and also because it will help him in college. 49 Basic Through Advanced Math Courses Offered The math department at Roncalli con- sists of five courses! review math, ge- ometry.

The buck stops here!” 4 Spanish I students find that understanding dia- logue is an important aspect in the art of speaking in Spanish language. Language Arts Prevail At Roncalli If one were to mention the word art. the primary thought in one’s mind would be related to pencils, paints, easels, and the like. But art is found in many differ- ent forms and contexts, such as the lan- guage arts. Over the past few years, the journalism department at Roncalli has grown in num- bers. The roots for such growth begin with the Journalism I class, consisting pri- marily of juniors. These students dedi- cate their first year to learning the tech- niques of journalistic writing, which in- clude correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar; stories written in a form re- ferred to as inverted pyramid style; and writing from straight fact. In an attempt to enforce the keys to a good journalism, students were spoken to by Mary Just. Aberdeen American News city editor, on the subject of school news. The sole foreign language taught at Ron- calli is Spanish. Instructed by Mrs. Mar- lene White, this class strives to under- stand and speak the Spanish language. A major change in this department has been the use of new textbooks. Through the use of filmstrips dealing with city and country life of Spain, and the celebration of a Spanish Christmas, the students have been given a better concept on the cul- tural aspect of the Spaniards. 59 Students Take Field Trips A physical fitness test, archery, basket- ball. bowling, golf and dancing were just a few of the things that second year teach ers. Mrs. Collette Burchardt and Mr. Bill Coghlan. taught in their physical educa- tion classes this year.

Eighty-Eighty-Eighty! It is indeed a unique class. Although some have been classmates since first grade, and some have entered Roncalli only this past year, the graduating class of 1980 certainly has a united spirit. We show, through cooperation and positive attitudes, that if one attempts to achieve a goal, one will reach it. It is true that victory is not always sitting in that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but defeat is not the conqueror. So, with the attitude: Fire up and fight! let us step into our fu- ture with the confidence that has carried us through our years at Roncalli successfully. —Ann Suel Row h Beth Baker. Maria Bell.

This is one of the most outstand- ing senior classes Roncalli has ever had. I don't think there is a single student who doesn’t take at least some pride in the class of 1980.” —Al Gates. Senior Class President in Humor Keeps Seniors Alive We have, throughout our high school years, experienced some rather humor- ous moments. The following memoran- dums serve to recapture the spirit of hu mor that followed us throughout the days at Roncalli. Barb Englehart: The funniest thing that happened to me was when Tony Janusz stuck his pen in the water fountain and squirted water all over me.” Mike Pfeiffer: When Rick Fettig came into freshman algebra late, with a piece of tissue stuck on his face from shaving. Jeff Gullickson: When somebody took their motorcycle and spun mud all over Sr. Patrice’s window.” I. Seniors Rhonda Kline. Jane King. Vicki Willett and Teri Benson introduce a new competitive sport.

These seniors learned what they need to know through teachers who un- derstood these particular students. This year, with a threat of the draft coming back, many seniors, wanting a good education, are joining the armed forces. Most seniors are progressing on to the choice of higher education such as a college, or vocational training. Some will be directly exposed to the career world after they graduate. This year the senior class set up individual goals and goals that the class works toward as a unit. By carry- ing out goals the students progress intellectually. I.

In an attempt to preserve memories of our senior year, the Journalism staff, with the cooperation of the senior class compiled a memorandum of favor- ites.” The following is the result of our find- ings. The most popular 'car was the classic Cor- vette. with Mustang running a close second. Favorite magazines included Seventeen and Sports Illustrated. Basketball came out on top as favorite sport. The tear-jerker, The Champ , was voted favorite movie, while M A S FI” was voted favorite T.V. show. In the music field, the Cars were vot- ed favorite group, with the album. The Cars being the most popular album. Billy Joel was voted as favorite single artist. Fa- vorite school lunch, pizza, was a popular choice, although many were dumb-founded at the question and left it blank. Favorite past-time was partying, and the favorite hang out was the Zoo. And last, but not least, YAA-YAA” was chosen as favorite expres- sion . 116 Row I: Brenda Littel. Dave Mahoney. Charles Mangan. Thomas Maltern.

Senior privileges were given to seniors 3rd quarter, an exchange program with Sioux Falls O’Gorman was set up. Homecoming activities were rescheduled and rearranged, and an attempt was made to light up lives of students by painting a number of classrooms and the girls' facilities hot pink and electric blue. Not only did Roncalli experience a metamorphis, but the town of Aberdeen has a face lift by the renovation of Main Street. New modular lamp posts, sign posts, and trash containers improved the appearance, along with several small bench units and landscaping which gave it a mall- type atmosphere. Quite a number of new businesses were formed, while old stand-bys claimed new locations or dis- appeared. Students may also have found an actual choice of dining facilities when pains of hunger provoked the purchase of nourishment. Our fair city also required two new FM stations for your listening pleasure-KQ95 and KSDN-FM. Many found it a relaxing change from the ubiq- uitous commercials of AM radio. A 118 Row I: Ann McGarry.
