At home, Americans saw the national unemployment rate skyrocket to the highest since the great depression. At the same time, the employed of the National Football League went on strike for eight weeks, cutting their season almost in half. The bad news of 1982-83 didn’t stop there as the nation was shocked with the cyanide poisoning of Tylenol which caused seven deaths. This tampering along with a dozen related cases led to national legislation requiring all products to have tamper-resistant packaging. 1. An E.T craze has spread over the nation since the block-buster film E.T. Posters, dolls, and video games have become a huge market in the U.S. 2. Unemployment offices are a common sight for the many unemployed in South Dakota and around the nation 3. Unemployed people undertake the job of filling out job applications at Job Service in Aberdeen. 4 Since the Tylenol poisoning and other such poisonings, manufacturers have started using tamper-resistant packaging. JOBi SERVICEi OF SOUTH DAKOm m 2 Introduction With the names of Leonid Brezhnev, Ingrid Bergman, Bess Truman, Henry Fonda, John Belushi, and Grace Kelly be- ing included on the list of obituaries, a royal baby was born to Prince Charles and Princess Diana of Whales in 1982- 83. Touching the hearts of many was the little outer space creature E.T. who brought the message of hope to those who believe in fantasy. Medical and scientific advances came about with the first human artificial heart transplant and the launch of the Columbia Space Shuttle. More and more changes came about in 1982-83, when people started protesting the nuclear arms race, and finally gave an overdue tribute to the Vietnam Veterans who died. Life and death, tragedy and hope made up the memorable year of 1982-83. Vet Tribute, Arms Protests Highlight Year Introduction Legislators, State Voters Keep Busy With the state population decreasing throughout 1982 83 South Dakota lost one representative to Washington. Other population shifts in the state called for redistricting Many bills were presented throughout the year by the state legislature. A bill that proposed legalized gambling was turned down by state voters when the fear of organized crime entering the state seemed to outweigh the benefit of an increase in revenue. Changing the drinking age from 18 to 21 was continually debated back and forth, but never changed. Two bills which were up in the air for a long time, and which faced much controversy were the proposed cut back of student financial aid, and a tax cut for parents sending their children to parochial schools. 4 Introduction During 1982-83, law enforcement agents led a crackdown on the problem of D.W.I. in the state as they organized special programs to concentrate on people driving while intoxicated. Along with this crackdown came stiffer penal- ties for those convicted of D.W.I. and for underage drink- ers, with fines and jail sentences becoming mandatory. Around the Aberdeen area, various communities continued to celebrate their centennials throughout the year, with the help of many Aberdeen residents, young and old alike. The spirit of the young and old wasn’t united however when a proposal for an athletic facility at N.S.C. was first turned down by voters. Later, with more support of local college students, the proposal passed. 1982-83 was definitely a year mixed with controversy and support. Officials Concentrate On DWI Arrests a 1. Law enforcement agents use the intoxilyzer to measure the amount of alcohol on a suspect’s breath. 2. Think signs along the road remind drivers not to drink and drive. The signs are put up wherever a traffic death has oc- cured. 3. A sketch of the proposed Northern State College athletic facili- ty shows the planned appearance of the building. 4 Although financial aid seems to be on the way out for high school seniors planning to go to college, Don Schatz undertakes the tedious job of filling out the forms, and hopes for some aid consideration. Introduction 5 Spirit Makes Successful Cavalier Year Students were affected by everything that happened at the international, national, state, and local events throughout 1982-83. All the events had some impact on the lives of RHS students as many of the news items hit home. Unem- ployment, death, and new laws changed the course of history as well as individual lives. Roncalli made its own history too. The battle of the blouses at the beginning of the school year, the changing adminis- tration and faculty, the football playoffs, and the changing appearance of the student center, were only some of the pieces that fit into the history of the 1982-83 school year. The spirit of the Cavalier never failed, however, no matter how bad or good the news was. This spirit is what made up the 1982-83 Roncalli Cavaliers. 6 Freshmen 8 Freshmen Freshmen Win Sales Drive Numbering only 62, the freshmen stopped a three year winning streak by the seniors in the annual magazine drive. Given a goal of $4,650, they achieved $5,100, winning themselves an afternoon of volleyball and pizza. Mark McNeary credited the class for “doing a lot of hard work; they really got into it.” Representing their class in student council were President Mark McNeary and Vice-President Meredith Morgans.

Favorite foods chosen were pizza and tacos. The comics and sports sections were picked as favorite parts of the newspaper. Expectations of the freshmen included having fun, receiving good grades, and getting to know other students. Fun, as seen by Keith Van Winkle, was, “when we beat the Central Cardinals in football.” A memory of Jeri Urbanski was, “bumping into Curt Hil- zendeger and flying back five feet.” Greg Lipp Frank Mangan Teresa Marshall Rosanne McCargill Dennis McGrane Mark McNeary Denise Meyer Mary Miller Ngoc Nguyen Barbara O’Keefe Julie Pelkofer Jim Pfeiffer James Reuschlein Christine Rucker Pat Schumacher John Sjodin 10 Freshmen Thad Steele Marsha Strickland Ron Swengel Brett Traphagen Chari Tyrrell Keith Van Winkle Darvin Vetter Tracey Wagner Robert Zerr Angela Zwetzig 1 FRESHMEN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL: FRONT ROW: Chris Rucker.

The sophomores had several favorites, including Burger King as the best place to eat and Aldo Nova and Loverboy tied as the best loved musical groups. Matt Dillon and Sylvester Stal- lone were the sophomore girls’ favorite idols while “Dr. J” was the boys’ most popular choice. The sophomores chose “Bob’s and Michelle’s” as their favor- ite entertainment spots, with Bump and Tilt being the second most popular place to go. Garfield was named the favorite comic character, and “Fantasy” by Aldo Nova was the 1982- 83 sophomores’ favorite tune. Lastly, the students cited “mas- sive” as their most popular saying. 14 Sophomores Katie Kornmann Skip Krueger Bernice Krumm Susan Krumm Matt Leon Debbie Lipp Steve Littel Mike Masgai Patty Mattern Beth McAreavey Scott McLeod Dave Mecseji Cindy Meier Donna Menzia Dan Moe Chad Moffenbier Donell Morgan Steve Morrow .WMt.

Seniors 23 Seniors Recall Experiences Throughout the high school years students all have certain things that seem to stand out in their memories. Here are a few memories recalled by seniors. Sheila McLeod: “The night I was left on main street by Lu’s Pizza during a Chinese firedrill.” Jody Gefre thought her most memorable was doing her ‘dead guppy’ in the hall. Tom Bierne: “When we had the dunking booth and tank for homecoming on the back of my Datsun pickup.” Dave Renelt: I think my most memorable was winning the NSC math contest.” Lori Stump: “This year, we rule the school!” Brenda Hammond Gina Hartford Curt Hilzendeger Joe Hoerner Ken Imbery Marcie Jasinski John Kastner Tony Keelin Anne Kornmann Lctha Leader Charge LeAnn Leighty Larry Leon Unity Strengthens Senior Class According to a survey from the 1983 seniors, they felt closeness in their class. They remarked that the feeling of unity kept them strong, and that they will be remem- bered not only for being the senior class, but for having “senior class.” Tony Keelin said in describing his class, “A summary wouldn’t describe us, you would need a book.” Paul Schaub felt, “The senior class is a group of motivated individuals — truely the leaders of the future.” Bill Mangan Jane Mattern Rich Schmidt added another point of view, “The class of ’83 is such a mix of different individuals that senior unity should be weak, but it is tremendously strong.” 26 Seniors Joan Mattern Mary Ellen Mattern Missy May Sheila McLeod 1.

Public schools pay more and have more facilities. RHS has more commu- nity spirit. The staff is the most professional and caring I’ve worked with.” Reading was the most popular hobby among the faculty along with tennis, photography, hunting, and crafts. 1. Wrestling coach.

The administration oversees the enforcement,” stated Mr. Richard Engler, superintendent of the Catholic School System. As superintendent, Engler coordinated curriculum and learning programs through the entire system, K-12, pre- pared the budget, oversaw receipts and expenditures, and coordinated lunch programs for the entire system. Though not a member of the school board, Engler consulted and advised the school board. In a dual role, Engler was also the principal of RHS. As principal, Engler enforced policies given by the school board and oversaw all Roncalli activities. The role of principal and superintendent entaled many responsibilities. Sharing these responsibilities was Mr. Wal- lace Bosch. An alumni, Bosch returned to Roncalli as assis- tant principal. Besides these shared responsibilities, Bosch’s duties included observing teachers, recording attendance, and supervising activities of RHS. Special reports to the school board were also made by Bosch. Also assisting the administration in their duties were Mrs. Delores Scheid and Mrs. Judy Mecesji as secretaries of Roncalli High School and the Central Catholic office, re- spectively. Mrs. Patti Estes was the bookkeeper for the Catholic School System. “1 like to see the organization that goes into games as well as watching the games,” stated Mr. Mark Murphy, activities director. Murphy was Roncalli’s representative to the Northeast Conference. At Roncalli, Murphy’s duties includ- ed scheduling school activities, developing the athletic bud- gets, and hiring officials for all RHS contests. 38 Administration 1.

Preparing food for some 307 students in- volves much accurate counting and cost esti- mation. In order to break even, they had to take in approximately $300 a day in the ala carte lunch program. To provide the wide variety of food offered, much of it came pre-cooked. However, bar- beques, sandwiches, hot dishes, and various desserts were made fresh each day. Cooks, Donabelle Backous and Esta Devine, serve one of the choices of the day from the ala carte lunch program. Custodian Keeps Things Running One may wonder just exactly what services a custodian offers. However, to discover all the little, yet important things he does, one would have to spend a day in his world. Mr. Jerry Leif, custodian at RHS since Janu- ary of 1982, was first in charge of unlocking the doors and turning on the heat in the winter. His other duties included scrubbing and waxing the floors, maintenance and re- pair, lawn work, cleaning halls and rooms, setting up and clearing away for lunch and church, and snow removal. This service may seem small to some, but the custodian played a big part in keeping things running. Mr Jerry Leif, RHS custodian, keeps the floors and hallways waxed to perfection. 40 Cooks. Custodian Booster Club Includes Women Is True Service’ The Booster Club, which focuses its services on athletics, contributes between $6000 and $7000 in actual cash to Roncalli High School. They also contribute approximately $14,000 in transporting athletes to and from sports events. There were a number of ways in which the club raised money. Some of them were a TV raffle, a raffle which sends a family to the State “A” Basketball tournament, and a number of other raffles and projects. Members also contributed to Roncalli by working at games or matches and selling tickets or passing out programs. 1982 marked the first year the Booster Club has included women in its organization. As a whole, the club had 500 members. Don Keelin was the club’s president along with Vice President Jack May. Booster Club member.

Nearly New Run By Supporters One of the services that receives little recog- nition is the Roncalli Nearly New Shop. It is run by supporters who donate their own time and efforts. The shop sells items that are donated by the public, and the profits go to the Roncalli School System. The store makes about $16,000 a year. The Nearly New Shop is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons and is located at 301 SE Railroad Ave. Gregg Snaza gels his coat zipper measured with the assistance of Nearly New Shop volunteers Booster Club Nearly New 41 42 Journalism, Drama Drama Students Act; Journalism Students Write “There has been good senior involvement, and I’m pleased with the number of people who’ve been involved with the drama program. I think it benefits from that,” said Mr. Nick Nelsen about his semester drama class. He said the pro- gram was the strongest since he’s been here. Students involved in drama read plays, studied basic acting, por- trayed characters and did improvisations. Journalism I and II students had different responsibilities. Writing stories for the American News and the Cavalcade as well as learning basic writing skills were the Journalism I tasks. Journalism II students worked on layouts, stories, and photos for the yearbook, and also put together the Cavalcade. 1. Mr Nick Nelsen, drama instructor, shows his class how to do improvi- sation. 2.

Journalism, Drama 43 Language Promotes Students’ Skills Mrs. Dianne Brenden’s freshmen English classes studied a wide range of literary units as well as grammar and composi- tion units. Mrs. Brenden felt that the “Romeo and Juliet” unit along with the movie presentation of the play was the highlight of the year. “The purpose of English is to improve the language arts skills of the students and to enable them to function better in society,” stated Mr. Nick Nelsen, English II and III instructor. The English II class had a semester in speech, including public speaking, group dynamics and parliamentary proce- dure. Literary selections included “Julius Caesar”, Lord of the Flies, and a number of other short stories. English III class was taught by three teachers, Mrs. Janelle Klapperich, Mrs. Brenden and Mr. Nelsen. The year consist- ed of writing a research paper, completing a personal journal and studying American literature and poetry. “The purpose of English is to learn the art of communication through learning, listening, and speaking,” said Sister Helen Freimuth who taught senior English. English literature, such as Siddartha. “Pygmallian”, and “Hamlet”, and many other English short stories were examined as well as units in gram- mar and writing. This year only Spanish I was available for the students and was taught by Mrs. Alice Dalager. The Spanish class con- structed pihata as well as learned the Spanish language fluently. 1.

This included history, geography and government. Mrs. Steve Olson taught the freshmen social science classes. They focused their study cm South Dakota His- tory, American government and United States geogra- phy. Also included in their study was a two week career unit. Sophomores, also taught by Olson, concentrated on world geography and world history. “I hope to teach the class in a comprehensive way and still have a good time with it,” stated Olson. Social Science III was taught by Mr. Bob Olson. Topics covered were United States history and current events. “I hope to portray as real an idea of what you come into contact with in the outside world,” said Mr. Mark Mur- phy, Social Science IV instructor when describing his goals for the year. His classes dealt with United States and world economy, sociology and also included a unit on marriage and the family. Psychology was also included in the social science de- partment. Mrs. Dianne Brenden was instructor of the class, which is offered only to seniors. A new unit on sleep and dreams was added to the course. 1.

The leading figure in the math department is Mr. Dan Lipp. This is his 19th year teaching at Roncalli. Mr. Lipp said, “I believe in the Catholic School System. Also, when I came to Roncalli, my idea was not to move, because of the size of my family.” Most people take math classes to help further their educa- tion in their career field. ‘‘I plan to go into physical therapy, and math classes are vital in that field,” said Mary Ellen Mattern. John Kokales showed a different side of the coin when he said, “It’s interesting, fun, and I enjoy myself.” Whether serious or lighthearted one thing is for sure, ac- cording to Len Suel, “It ain’t easy.” 1.

Instructing the freshmen courses were Mrs. Colette Burchardt and Mr. Gary Schuurmans. Some minor dissecting and learning about the basic physiol- ogy of living things involved Biology I students during the course of the year. Biology II students were involved in more dissecting and in the study of the human body. Both courses were instructed by Mr. Schuurmans. Chemistry students dealt with symbols, elements, chemi- cals, and experiments in their study of matter under the direction of instructor Mr. Don Haufschild. Mr. Dan Lipp’s physics classes worked with the actions of matter, motion, and energy. The students also advanced their works with laws and properties. 1.

Science 51 52 Religion Religion Adds To Student Life “That’s what Roncalli is all about, that’s why we’re here,” stated Sister Janet Horstman, religion teacher. For years religion has played a big part at Roncalli, whether it be in the classroom itself or in the all school masses. Freshmen religion had a general review of church history and the lives of the saints. Sister Darlene Gutenkauf said she enjoyed teaching the freshmen and felt it was a chal- lenge. For the sophomores, the year began with the study of understanding the Bible, the Old Testament, and learning about Christian moral growth. Sister Janet summed up the year in three words, “I loved it.” The first semester, the juniors studied the sacraments of the church with Father Greg Tschakert, who was new to the staff. The second semester was spent studying the New Testament and scripture with Father Darrell Lamberty. Seniors studied a variety of units throughout the year, with Father Tom Heck. They studied faith: gift and growth, the Roman Catholic Church, marriage, and family life. 1. Chris Kornmann, Brenda Fischer, and Yvette Eagle act out the life of Saint Charlemagne in their freshmen religion class. 2. Jeanie Hoffman listens to Sister Joan Brandner, as she shows the type of clothing worn in Jerusalem. 3. The all school masses added a touch of unity to Roncalli.

Father Greg Tschakert gives Rick Kline absolution after hearing his confession. Religion 53 54 Business Courses Reveal Business World General business, instructed by Mrs. Sonja Palmer, intro- duced students to the American economic system. Students also had the chance to learn about the consumer legal rights in such areas as banking, employment, investing, money, and business procedures. Business law, offered to seniors, gave the students a chance to examine how and why the laws of a business are en- forced. Subjects that Mrs. Palmer’s class studied were buying and selling techniques, renting and selling proce- dures, and the makeup of business organizations and corpo- rations. Office education, offered to juniors and seniors gave stu- dents the chance to experience various office situations. During the first semester, basic office skills were studied. In the second semester, the students had the chance to put those skills into practice as they went to various Aberdeen businesses for on-the-job training. Typing I gave Roncalli students the opportunity to acquire a skill that is used both in the office and in every day life. Typing I was instructed by Mrs. Janelle Klapperich. Accounting was offered to juniors and seniors. Accounting taught the students how to keep a record of taxes, to open and close a checking account, and to balance personal and business records. Accounting was instructed by Mrs. Sonja Palmer. 1. Joan Mattern. Jane Mattern. Mary Kelly, and Ann Schumacher watch as Mr Robert Mecseji demonstrates how a typewriter is cleaned in office education. 2 Mrs. Sonja Palmer’s sophomore general business class listens to instructions for a daily assignment. 3.

Business 55 56 Vocational Homy Economics Vocational Is Useful To Many The enrollment of Roncalli students at the Hub Area Voca- tional School was 31, slightly increasing from last year. Students had 12 classes from which to choose. Among these various classes, auto mechanics, electronics, and building trades had the largest enrollment of RHS students. Jim Garvin auto mechanics student, thought vocational school was a lot of fun. He also thought it was giving him something useful for his future. Dan Ellerbusch, building trades student, said, “It’s not a classroom environment; it's more of an on-the-job training outfit.” 1.

The department, as a whole, consisted of three classes this year. They were Home Economics 1, single living and child development. These classes included foods, clothing, ca- reers, housing, and money management units. 3.

The department was under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Heier. The groups included swing choir, pep band, stage band and chorus. “Art I teaches the students the basics of art. If people have the slightest interest in art, they should take this class,” said Mrs. Paula Guhin, Art I and Art II instructor. Art I painted a collage mural on the student center wall and studied subjects ranging from art history to commercial arts. “Art II is a preparation for those who are seriously considering the art field for a career. It gives them a chance to make the most of their talents,” remarked Mrs. Guhin Art II worked with a variety of different mediums such as charcoal drawings, water- color portraits, ink drawings, and completed an acrylic painting of the subject of their choice. 1 Julie Schumacher touches up on wall mural in the student center. 2 Pep band assembles for a football pep rally 3 Penni Heinzman displays her art abilities on a Christmas window project. 4 Band Members: FRONT ROW Brenda Hammond, Jennifer Morrow, Chris Rucker.

She also helped students with college choices and their ACT tests. Sr. Pauline said that she has noticed more instate post high school education, namely colleges. She named financial situations as the main reason for this. Mrs. Lila Retzer, RHS librarian, is currently in her third year at Roncalli. My function is to encourage reading, to teach the students how to use the library, and to help students with their further quest for knowledge, Mrs. Retzer stated. She has dispersed audio visual equipment, books, and magazines throughout Roncalli to stress the importance of good study habits. Mrs. Retzer felt that it was also important to maintain a quiet atmosphere in the library to concentrate on homework.

They have been teaching the students carryover sports, or those sports that one is able to continue throughout his life. “Physical education should be a time to relax and take out your frustrations,” Olson said. The students had units in arch- ery, golf, rollerskating, bowling, aerobics, basketball, volley- ball, CPR, and softball. They have also had their annual spring physical fitness test. 1 During a physical educat,on excursion, Katie Kornmann “I just love teaching physical education,” Burchardt said, “It is shows her skill at bowling. a great activity to teach.

The variety show included five talent acts, but unlike years before, they were not judged. The show closed with the unveiling of the Mystery Cavalier, Julie Daschel. Senior Larry Leon was the first to guess her identity, winning two free tickets to the homecoming dance. “This is Rich.” “And this is Sean,” “We’re here to make sure that you have a good time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.” And so the emcees, Rich Schmidt and Sean McNamee, began the 1982 homecoming variety show. 66 Homecoming f 1 1 Masters of Ceremonies.

Homecoming 67 Activities Keep Roncalli Busy Homecoming week kicked off with the days of the week being designated as past, present, future, prep, and color. On Friday, a session of non-competitive games started the activities. An outside mass followed with Father Rod Farke as the main celebrant. Homecoming royalty participated as lectors and gift bearers. During the afternoon, students competed in such games as tug-of- war, three legged racing, water balloon tossing, pie eating and root beer guzzling contests. A student council sponsored picnic followed. A dunking booth, football game, and kangaroo court involved a number of students as participants, before a pep assembly com- pleted the afternoon of activities. 1. “The 1982 kangaroo court will now come to order, cries the jury including Randy Bunker, Anne Kornmann, Doug Sahli, Penni Heintzman, Dan Eller- busch, Pat Gannon, Tony Keelin, and Len Suel. 2.

Everything from boots and shoes to hairstyles had that unique “new wave’ touch. Some people, however, chose to remain themselves. One fad that came and went rather quickly at Roncalli was male ear piercing. Other fads in the 1982-83 school year were bow ties, bandanas, novelty shoelaces, and E.T. but- tons, posters and dolls. 1.

Not only to learn the fundamen- tals of education but to incorporate them with a Christian way of living. And though we may have come separately, together we were, the Roncaili Cavaliers. Though each of us represented a part of Roncaili, we also represented certain individuals, ourselves. Many students exhibited individualtiy outside of the class- rooms by participating in various sports such as hockey, racketball, handball, swimming, volleyball, baseball, and many more. Others expressed themselves through hobbies such as horseback riding, dancing, hunting, painting, and photography among others. 1.

The 46 member club earned money through candy sales, a pancake breakfast, and selling concessions at the NEC Wrestling Tournament. Service projects included Christmas caroling for the elder- ly, parking cars at both bazaars and the Winter Ball, and helping with the Roncalli Salad Luncheon. Highlights of 1982-83 Key Club included Rich Schmidt being elected District Governor and hosting the District Fall Rally. Key Club 77 Students Show Leadership “Organization is the key to student council,” stated Rich Vincent, president. Resulting from the organization was further responsibility being handled by underclassmen re- presentatives and a review of the school’s constitution. “We were organized to the point we wanted, but I saw room for more improvement,” observed Vincent. The priority of student council was to conduct school busi- ness, and afterwards the council turned to ways to provide activities for the students. Homecoming, dances, softball and volleyball games were sponsored by student council. Recognized for their qualities of leadership were Richard Schmidt and Dave Renelt as they were awarded the Daugh- ter’s of the American Revolution Good Citizen’s and the Century III Leadership awards respectively. Money and money management were among the topics heard by Curt Hilzendeger as he attended a banking seminar in Mitchell. 1 Attending a banking seminar was Curt Hilzendeger. 2.

Special Awards 79 Living Faith Coordinates Activities Sr. Janet Horstman coordinated various activities to keep the religious atmosphere alive at RHS throughout the year. Twenty-six faculty and student members along with Sr. Janet organized activities ranging from bridge building to Christmas caroling, and groups such as liturgical singers and ministers of communion. The living faith committee stated their purposes in three basic areas: the gospel message, community, and service. Out of these three areas came the various activities and groups. “The living faith members are the organizers of the activities, and the student body are the members of the program,” stated Sr. Janet. 1. Julie Pelkofer sings a solo during communion at one of the weekly masses. Backing her up are Sr. Janet Horstman and the liturgical singers. 2.

She had a choice of where she wanted to be placed, so she chose the U.S.A., and AFS sponsored her. Christof Van Dellen was an Austrian exchange student brought to Aberdeen by the Rotary Club. Christof said that the only things that he didn’t like about America were fast food places and taco’s. “Junior Achievement provides important business exper- ience because the kids set up and run their own compan- ies,” stated Cathy Smith, JA participant. There were about 20 RHS students participating in JA this year. For their main support-building project this year, the Mat Mates provided a breakfast for the varsity wrestlers before the NEC tourney, which was held in Aberdeen this year. “Mat Mates is a pep club for the wrestlers,” stated Jennifer Morrow, Mat Mates president. Morrow, along with vice president Julie Daschel and seven other members worked to increase the support for the wrestlers this year. 82 Exchange Students. Junior Achievement. Mat Mates 1.

As a class, the freshmen won the pizza volleyball party, with Mr. Gary Schuurmans having the overall high homeroom. The magazine drive lasted from Oc- tober 21 to November 8, with a variety of prizes ranging from stuffed animals, home room breakfasts, bumper stickers and record albums, being awarded on designated days. On Wednesday nights students had the chance to show their skills and participate in intramural basket- ball. There were seven boys’ and seven girls’ teams, each team consisting of three to four people. Eric Robinson said it was a good way to get out of the house on a Wednesday night, while Donna Menzia’s reply was, “I like beating up the freshmen.” 1.

Intramurals 85 86 Retreats. Lent Events Offer Inspiration A retreat is probably the best time to sit back and take mental notes of life. Roncalli students did exactly that during the week of February 7. Each class retreat was separate beginning with seniors and ending with sophomores. Discussions on sexuality, peer pressure, and family life were led by college students. Students also saw a movie and had small group discus- sions. Clown ministery, skits, and a special mass were also parts of the retreat which was led by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Osborn, directors of the Sioux Falls Catholic Youth Office. Programs such as “skip a lunch help a bunch.” were ways students could participate in lent more actively. The money saved by students, either not eating lunch or eating less, was used to help feed the needy. Students who elected to skip lunch on Wednesdays could go to special “time out” activities such as talks and movies. Aluminum cans donated by students were sold with the proceeds going to the Presentation Sisters Mission in Mexico. Thank-you- grams were also a way of students and faculty members offering their gratitude to each other. Sister Janet Horstman and the living faith committee planned and organized these activities. 1. Freshmen girls listen during a talk at their retreat. 2.

Scapino, a clever, devious trickster who was employed by two young men to trick their fathers out of their money, was played by Sean McNamee. The play was about how Scapino used various methods to con two Italian fathers out of their money, in order to prevent the arranged marriages of their sons.

We beat conference contenders, and this gave us the confidence for the rest of the season,” said Mark Murphy, head football coach. Following the first game loss to Aberdeen Central, the team rolled off nine straight wins. These victories included an undefeated conference slate to earn the conference title and a first round playoff win over Sisseton. They then faced Lennox in the playoff semifinals, and a win would have placed them in the state finals in the Dakota- dome. The game was hard fought. The Cavaliers dominated play, but penalties and mistakes cost them the game. The 6-0 loss finished the season at 9-2. Commenting on the game Murphy said, “We played well enough to win, but it just wasn’t our night.” Individual highlights included Tony Keelin and Doug Schile each receiving KSDN’s Athlete of Week Award. Curt Hil- zendeger was named to the All State team. 94 Football 1. FOOTBALL TEAM FRONT ROW Joel Walker. Brian Donovan. Tom Bernard. David Mecseji, Paul Coughlin.

It was a great experience.” Brad Schutz, Tri-captain Special People Enjoy Football Insanity is a key word in football. Not your normal person enjoys running around and colliding with people. Black and blue marks, immoveable necks, non-repair- able shoulders, and minor concussions are all a part of wearing the gold helmet. Those aspects plus running into Curt Hilzedeger and Brad Schutz in practice add to the insane state of mind. If a person doesn’t think football players are crazy, think back to the Miller and Webster games. Forty-three guys splashing around in ankle deep water puddles. The cra- ziest thing about it was, they enjoyed it. Football teams are the heart and soul of a school. The success in football captured all students attention and emotion. The feeling of being a Cavalier became a part of each of us. It was a feeling to be cherished.

Team Completes Best Season Yet A 77-41 loss to the Huron Tigers in the first round of play at the Sectional Tournament ended the 1982 girls’ basket- ball season. The team recorded a 6-8 conference record and a 7-12 overall record, making 1982 the best year yet in the history of girls’ basketball at RHS. The sophomores finished the year 7-11. Brenda Traphagen led the team in rebounding with an average of 11.6 rebounds per game. Sue Gruenstein had the highest free-throw percentage shooting 75 percent, while Peg Coughlin shot a 39 percent from the field to lead the team in field goal shooting. Players receiving awards for the 1982 season including Peg Coughlin, most valuable; Donna Menzia and Jane Mattern, most desire; and Renita Vincent and Ellen Sahli, most improved. 98 Girls’ Basketball 1.

We worked as a team like we never did before.” Jane Mattern, tri-captain. Girls Value 1982 Season It’s 8 am and from the gym come faint sounds of voices. Fans try to move the hot, muggy air around a little bit. Head coach Tom Murphy’s whistle pierces the air, and he yells for practice to begin. While the guys were out on the football field, the girls were in the gym during those hot August mornings. For four more months, 18 girls practiced and practiced, spending many hours in the RHS gymnasium. In the eyes of many not on the team, the season didn’t seem too success- ful or even worth the bother. But to the girls who spent their time in basketball shoes, running up and down the court, practicing the same drills over and over, it didn’t matter what others said. The girls on the team put all they had into the season, and they were proud to be on the 1982 girls’ basketball team and were proud to be Roncalli Cava- liers.

Cross Country 103 Mecseji, Smith Wrestle To State Tourney “This year the team struggled, but there were many individ- ual highlights,” said Mr. Steve Olson, wrestling coach for RHS. RHS had two wrestlers who went to state this year, Jerome Smith and Dave Mecseji. Mecseji had a 25-7 season overall and led the wrestling team will 11 pins. Smith was second, with 10 pins. Olson emphasized that both of these wrestlers had good seasons. “Dave had an excellent season and did very well in the state tournament. “Jerome had a good year between placing in sectionals and going to state. Olson said that the key characteristic of the team was the willingness to make sacrifices for the team, such as moving up a weight class to fill in for another wrestler, which not only included gaining weight but also getting the extra strength needed to wrestle at a higher weight class. “1 feel wrestling has a lot more to offer the individual student than any other high school sport. It teaches self- discipline so you can accept victory and defeat. If you win, you win by yourself; if you lose, you lose by yourself — no one else does it for you. Also, in wrestling it doesn’t matter how big or small you are, everyone has a chance,” Coach Olson concluded. 1. Tony Hoerner attempts a takedown against his Ips- wich opponent. 2.

Wrestling isn’t just a sport of strength and speed, but a sport of using your head and thinking. Wrestling is such a fast action sport that you have to have quick reaction to every movement. To me, wrestling is tougher than most sports because you are out on that mat all alone; there are no teammates to help you. You’re out there on that mat for six long, hard minutes giving it all you’ve got. In the end, there is that great feeling of winning, or at least knowing you gave your all. Another feeling is the feeling of placing at sectionals and even state. If you stop and think that you have been seeded above everyone in the state in your weight class, you know that you are good at what you are doing. The best feeling is the feeling of working so hard all year for that moment. — Jerome Smith, State Wrestling Qualifier 106 Wrestling 1. Dave Mecseji dominates his Central opponent, Pat Opp 2.

Overall, the Cavaliers finished 15-5. “We accomplished every goal this year, ex- cept one,” said Coach Bob Olson. These goals were accomplished despite the factor that games were missed by the top six players. “It’s a credit to the character of these kids — the way they fought back from adversity,” commented Olson. The only goal unaccomplished was qualifying for the state tournament. The 44-40 loss to Central in the Section IV final ended the year. The game was close throughout. The Cavaliers led by one with six minutes to play, and a state “A” dream looked hopeful. “I had my bags packed ready to go to Rapid City,” said Olson. But then Central ran off nine unanswered points and an eight point lead. The time was too short for a comeback. 108 Boys’ Basketball 1.

This group has talent and can beat anyone when they come ready to play.” Mark Mur- phy, “B“ team coach “I think we really progressed from the beginning of the year. The comeback win over Milbank was the high point of the season.” Skip Krueger, player New Teammates Finish Strong “These kids certainly have the talent — they showed it by willing seven out of their last nine games,” said “B” team coach Mark Murphy. After starting the year 2-7, the team finished the season with a 9-9 record. “I think our slow start was due to so many new kids playing together,” continued Murphy. Out of the top eight players, six were transfers to Roncalli this year and had not played on the same team. Bob Guhin, sophomore forward, commented on the future of the “B” team, “We have the ability to be even better than this year’s varsity. It will depend how much each player develops.” Moving into next year’s season, the team will have one experienced player, Steve Scott, who was on the “A” team as well as the “B” team. 110 Boys' Basketball 1. 2 3. 5.

Pride Drives Cheerleaders Some of the elements clearly seen in Roncalli’s cheer- leaders were dedication, hard work, enthusiasm, pride and leadership. All of these were needed to raise school spirit, but pride in RHS was the main force that drove the cheering crowds throughout the year. The cheerleaders sponsored events such as mug and jersey sales, pep rallies and locker decorations to get the rest of the school involved in sports events. 1. Football Cheerleaders: Gina Ell, Alyssa Bormes, Sue Sivertsen, and Maria Guhin. 2. Leading the cheers for junior varsity boys’ basketball were Renee Peterson, Sue Jasinski, and Janelle Dabbert. 3.

For the freshmen, it meant they made it through that frightful first year. For the sophomores, it meant that next year they’ll be upperclassmen. For the juniors, it meant finally being on top of the heap. And for the seniors, it meant graduation, the end of 12 years of schooling, and a big 1.

Some students will spend their summer being lazy, some will be working, some will take vacations. Hopefully, all students will enjoy their three months of freedom, and be ready for whatever the next school year holds for them. Three Month Freedom Means Jobs, Relief Closing 115 Journalism II Staff Proud, Exhausted The Journalism II staff has worked very hard on the 1983 Lance. There were times when the going got rough, and it looked like the yearbook would never be finished. When it finally got put together, all the work suddenly didn’t seem that tough. Mrs. Janelle Klapperich, advisor, best summed up what it was like putting a yearbook together when she said, “At best, putting out a yearbook is nerve-racking. Pressure is enormous and cooperation of the entire staff is imperative. Like so many other things, the project has its ups and downs. The biggest feeling of accomplishment is, of course, seeing the finished product.” 1. The editors and photographer for the Lance and Cavalcade stand behind their advisor, Mrs.Janelle Klapperich.

The local representative was Damon Milner, Pierre. Penni Heintzman, staff member, designed the shield on the embossed cover and the division pages. Body copy was 10 point Souviner, and captions were 8 point Souviner. The staff used mosaic and modular style layouts in different sections of the book. Graphics were also emphasized in the book. School photogra- pher Gregg Snaza took, developed, and printed the majority of pictures with help from Penni Heintzman, senior; Ted Huettl and Deron Meyer, juniors. They were responsible for about 95% of the book’s photos. Three hundred and six books were printed and sold for $15.50. Approximately $1,500 was donated by sponsors and collected by business managers Wendy Lieberg and Dan Sitter, with help from Julie Daschel, Lori Stump and the Journalism I class. The LANCE is a member of the South Dakota Activities Association, where it has received an All State honor for the last six years. 120
