Pages by Jenny Morgans t the beginning of the year, the Journalism II staff sat down and tried to choose a theme for the 1988 yearbook. After much thought, a lot of suggestions, and a few fights, we decided on We've Got It. lt's always difficult to sum up the year in a few short words, but this year the task seemed unusually difficult because there were so many unknowns in the months ahead. There were new staff and administration members, new students, and new rulesg at times it seemed new everything. But soon we realized that although many things had changed, a lot hadn't. Roncalli was still the same old place. And so we came to the conclusion that there were many changes that we would have to deal with, but we still had the familiarity and friendliness of Roncalli. And although these changes might be painful, they enriched each of us so we were able to become the best people possible. Therefore, we had the best of both worlds: the changes that help us reach our potential, and the security of our old family, Roncalli. Now that we can look back over the past year, our theme realiy did seem to fit. The Roncalli students endured the bad times as well as reveled in the good. We mourned the disappointing losses along with celebrating the hard fought victories. These few words will help us to remember the pain and the glory and will truly help us see that at Roncalli We've Got It All. 'Go Roncallil' Pep assemblies were a big part of raising school spirit before games and matches. Todd lmbery shows his spirit by good naturedly portraying a cheerleader during a wrestling skit. Introduction 3 - ,,,......Af-u The new Barnett Center offered the community a new place for activities as well as cheering on Northern teams. Lisa Kessler found it a good place to work on her racquetball game. 4 Introduction rom politics to people, this year seemed to have a little bit of everything. The 1988 presidential campaign had already begun to dominate the headlines in 1987, and like many others before it, it was not exempt from scandals. Most notably, Gary Hart, previously one of the frontrunners of the campaign, temporarily dropped out of the race after a widely publicized incident involving Donna Rice. But all the mud slinging seemed pretty insignificant when little Jessica McClure fell down an abandoned mining shaft in Midland, Texas. She was trapped for 58 hours before being rescued, and it seemed the entire nation breathed a sigh of relief and applauded her heroic rescuers. The U.S. also had Visits from the Pope, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and a Wall Street crash reminiscent of the stock market disaster of 1929. Excitement that bordered on a little good-natured greediness was evident when South Dakota initiated a lottery for the first time. Several big money winners originated in Aberdeen, and even a few lucky Roncalli students were blessed with smaller cash rewards. The highlight of the year for Aberdeen was the completion of the Barnett Center on Northern State's campus. Besides bringing in money, the center brought in many people to shop and dine from the surrounding towns. A new McDonalds on Second Street thrived on the new commerce. Also newly completed was the castle in Storybook Land at Wylie Park. Regardless of whether it was the heroics that emerged amidst a tragedy, or just people trying to make their hometown a better place to live, it all gave us renewed hope for the future and made us proud to say We've Got It All.

And there were definitely diversions worth talking about this year. Whether your taste runs to the thrill of movies like Broadcast News, the humor of Eddie Murphy's Raw, or the romance of Dirty Dancing, there was something for you in the theatres. But if you didn't want to go out, and you didn't mind waiting awhile, renting movies remained a popular activity. Another popular stay-at-home activity was playing board games, with Pictionary and Scruples leading the way. The Ouija board was another popular indoor sport. Movies left their mark not only on theatres and video stores, but music as well. La Bagmbaj' from the movie of the same name, and The Time of My Life, from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack were both ifl songs from movies, along with Who's that Girl? by Madonna. In addition to movie songs, there was a variety of other offerings from the world of music. The songs ranged from the hard rock sounds of Whitesnake, Def Lepard, and Billy Idol's remake of Mony, Many, to the mellow sounds of Smokey Robinson and Steve Winwood, and from the political commentary of U2 to the Ububblegum pop of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. There were also big names like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Bruce Springsteen who made an impact on today's music. All things considered, it was easy to see why We've Got It All --l-- En te1'ta1'nmen t I I Three of the most popular record albums of 1987-88 Sporting the headphones that proved to be popular around a Guhin listens to his favorite music while studying in the library.

Pages by Rieta Buttaro hat is fashion? According to the dictionary, it's the current custom. But ask anyone, and they'll tell you it's more than that. It's a personal expression of You It's telling the world, This is what I think. This expression takesimany forms, though. There is by no means one way to say it Call it what you want: fad, style, trend, or the in thingf' It all comes down to the same thing- what you wear. Whether you wear your clothes because it's r comfortable, keeps you warm, or because it's in your closet, it still says something about you. And at Roncalli that message took on exceptional meaning. Because of the regulation blue and gray that weiwore to school every day, what We wore outside of school and even what we did with our uniform was noticed by others. But enough talk, what was hot this year? Well, we went to Journalism II to see what they found around school. I-Iere's what they came up with. The biggest look in jeans for both sexes was the acid-washed look. But this wasn't restricted to just jeans, there were denim skirts, dresses, shirts, and coats. Leather bomber jackets were popular for girls and guys, also. Much to the delight of the male population, mini-skits made an impressive comeback, and a new version, the bubble skirt, also made a few appearances. And what does one wear with a mini- skirt, you ask? Cropped tops, and mock turtlenecks Were spotted quite often, as well as cropped jean jackets, Other favorites spotted by the journalism staff were small purses, worn over the shoulder, neutral colors such as khaki and moss green, and lace-up boots. But no one can tell you what to wear. We're just interpreting what we see a lot of at Roncalli. Fashion is the chance to be yourself, so take the chance. 10 People dw of Say!! if luv' . Exff.

High school 'daze' Why does it always seem that as senior year rolls around, everyone begins to fall into two distinct groups? The first is sickeningly optimistic and can't wait to get to college. The second is a little slower, more relaxed, savoring, you could say, every moment of their last year. You can recognize both types a mile away. One is rushing around, collecting recommendations fglowing, no doubtl to apply for early admission to an Ivy League school, while the other casually considers whether to sign up for the ACT, as long as it won't interfere with the weekend's plans, or wait untill next fall. They think of college as a world awayg their minds don't often travel farther than next weekend, not to mention next year. When they do find time to think about it, the thoughts that weigh most heavily on their minds relate to wondering whether or not they'll have enough room in their dorms for a microwave and a refrigerator. But then an odd thing happens: around Christmas season, the two groups kind of exchange places. The formerly relaxed, casual attitude of some students suddenly disappears. The student is rushing around trying to get into community college on special admit, while at the same trying to fill out financial aid forms, due last week. And, you guessed it, the student with that smug little look on his face, and the acceptance letter from Harvard in his pocket, is the one sleeping in class and walking around with the dazed look in his eyes. You can spot 'em a mile away. In the student center, Kathy Traphagen ponders Whether or not it's worth the effort to get up. Traphagen is on crutches due to a basketball injury.

This thought had been passing through a lot of seniors' minds. Who could believe that it was time for us to move on into the big world? It seemed like only yesterday that we walked through the doors of Roncalli High School as freshmen. 'AI don't really want it to end because everyone will be going their separate ways. I'm going to miss everyone, and I know that once Ilm in college I'll want to be back in high school, commented Stacy Bohle. College and life after high school will bring about a lot of changes. Some seniors are scared, but others are looking forward to these changes. Jim O'Keefe added, I'm sad about the people Ilm going to leave behind, but I'm also excited about the new people that Iim going to meetf' One of the scariest decisions seniors faced was college selection. HI don't know where I want to go to college or what I want to bef, said Paula Kippley. But every senior faces these problems and lives through them. In general seniors were sad but excited about the coming year, and they all realized that life after high school would be different. HIt's scary because all of the sudden I'll be on my own making my own decisions. There's no one who will tell me what to do, stated Lynette Chang. Added Shannon Westra, HI know that Iim going to miss my friends and Roncalli like crazy.

Wrong, said Juleen McGrane. I usually put some of it in the bank, but the rest was spent on clothes, gas, insurance, and going out. Pat Hansen spent about half of his check on his truck, while Kristi Bossly usually paid her bills around town. Bernadette Martinmaas Trish Matson Lynette Chang and Becky Manning both considered their boyfriends a major expense. Chang stated, I don't mind because he spent more on me. Senior paychecks ranged from S20 to more than S100 a week, but the money always seemed to disappear faster than expected. It was really weird . . . the bigger my check was, the faster it went, commented Stephanie Harr. Rieta Buttaro summed it up by saying, It was gone within two days, paying for food and gas.

Quite often, if you listened for it. And you possibly even uttered it yourself once or twice , if you were a senior. For example, an average senior was sitting in the student center. After he finished a tasty junk food meal, he tossed the wrapper in the general direction ofthe garbage. It bounced off the wall and it was about five feet off the mark. Awe, let the juniors pick it up, he muttered. This excuse even came in handy for little things, like being late for class, wearing a royal blue sweater instead of a navy one, or sleeping a little bit later on school mornings. The list was long and varied, and the excuses were used probably more often than they should have been. Seniors wanted to get all that they could out of their last year, and excuses were just one way to do it. Smiling, with thoughts of victory, seniors show their support to the football team.

First, you woke up at approximately 8:00, with absolutely no time to spare before reporting to school at 8:15. You were on the way to school when you suddenly heard a noise that wasn't a normal noise for your car. After that, you remembered you needed gas and had forgotten to get it the day before. As you glanced at the gas gauge, the red marker read very empty. One mile away from school, with no gas, is where you stood. You hitched a ride from a fellow classmate and finally made it to school. That was when you realized that there was a test first hour that you had forgotten about. Just about the time you thought nothing else could go wrong, you realized you had lost your homework assignment for your next class. So you frantically searched for an excuse as to why you forgot. Finally, the day came to an end. You were still alive, but in your mind you prayed for a better day . . . tomorrow. Sound familiar, seniors? Ann Biegler starts her day with an unexpected treat She is in just a little bit too much of a hurry to get to school.

Since Roncalli isn't a very large school, five minutes should be enough time to get to class on time. So, why the mad dash? It may have been grabbing a bite in the student center before class or just catching up on the latest gossip before sitting through another 50 minute class period. The juniors had been known to be sprinting in at the last second plowing over anything in their paths to reach their seat by the sound of the second bell. Terry Weber brought up another interesting aspect of being late for class. I have to talk to my girlfriend, he said with an innocent smile. Becky Pfeiffer made known yet another excuse for being just a little late. She simply stated that the bathroom was first priority! In any case, the five minute race will continue simply due to the fact that most students would rather be doing something else than sitting in a classroom. Pouring the wine in mass is Kari Toth. Students often take part in the weekly liturgies.

Disadvantages grew from living up to the bosses' expectations, scheduling busy hours to fit one's day, and even from the benefits of having extra money. Jobs brought in the bucks, but even extra money was a disadvantage at times. For example, parents tended to look on one as being more able to pay for things such as entertainment, weekend expenses, clothes, and gas. Most paychecks seemed to disappear into thin airg they were eaten up by mostly luxuries. To overcome spendthrift habits, Tracy Opitz saved half her check and spent only the other half. Money wasnlt the only problem, the boss was just one more person one had to please. They expect promptness, neatness and respect. Did bosses expect too much? Kristi Webb, who worked at McDonalds, responded They always expected you to keep busy, even when we had done everything. Contrasting, Stacy Heidrich, who was employed at Hardee's, said '4They donyt expect you to do anything that you didn't know you already had to.', Many juniors found it hard to go to school activities like sporting events or concerts. Troy Van Drman stated, It was by chance that I could go do something, it all depended on whether I was scheduled or notf' A majority of the juniors ended up fitting all they could into a day as they learned to appreciate their free time. 24 Juniors .is if f s . ,,,.r:s,gA 24. is SYS? s it , c X l fx . gf?

For some it was like a prison, a place where all they did was work. For others it was just something to do. Some people donlt like to spend their day in front of a TV. And a few saw Roncalli as a place where they learned and grew, a place they were really going to miss in the years to come. For juniors it seemed like high school would last forever, but they started ' to realize that time was getting short. It would be hard for them to leave Roncalli after their senior year. R0ncalli is like my second familyf' said Jill Sjodin. Going to the same school for three years can cause a person to become strongly attached to it, especially with the atmosphere here. 'AI think there was a sense of unity, and a feeling of friendship between everyone, said Lori Kessler. Of course every school has a few bad aspects, and what with the bad heating, dimly lit halls, and the leaky ceilings, it may have seemed like Roncalli had more than its share of drawbacks. But stop for a moment and think about all the things at Roncalli yould miss: your friends, the teachers, football games, dances . . . the list goes on and on.

I don't know why,', exclaimed sophomore Brad Reecy. He was not alone. About 7395 of the sophomore class studied better with outside distractions. This could have been contributed to being either right or left brained. Left brained people could focus on a certain subject even if other activities were going on around them, while this caused interference for right brained people. Sophomores were almost split in half about whether they had good study habits. Sixty percent said they did have good habits, while 4076 said they did not. Anne Marie Tso claimed she didn't have good study habits because she always waited until the last minute, then crammed for a test. Jan Kippley felt she should have spent more time studying. Over half the sophomores studied less than one hour a night. Some spent about one to two hours, and very few studied for more than three. Stacy Lindquist would have rather been doing something she felt more constructive: sports. While the sophomores would rather have been doing other things than studying, 8796 felt studying did pay off. Rewards included good grades, positive feedback from friends, and parent's well earned approval. Only a minority of the class felt studying did not have any benefits. Bonnie Croft commented, I needed more incentive. My parents came up with this one: money!

One thing that Roncalli's wise fools did know was that they were forbidden to go into the student center during school hours. So what did they do when they were stricken by a mid-morning junk food craving'? Most sophomores abided by the rule and just starved until lunch or after school. Sandra Sukut, on the other hand, was seen ducking into the student center between classes. Often she also bought a bag of Doritos from the first lunch period to take to her 4A class. I' 5 .

They weren't the youngest anymore, and they knew what was going on. But they Weren't upperclassmen who were allowed in the student center and at the dinner dance. They also didn't have to start thinking about college and a career. So what was special about the sophomores and their'l year? l'Because we were sophomores we had more of a chance to be ourselves. We didn't have any worries such as college, said Bonnie Croft. Anne Holland agreed and said, We can just sit back, relax and enjoy life this year. The sophomores felt that there were many positive aspects about their year. We had seniority over the freshmen, and we weren't lonely like we were back then. We just lived for Fridays, commented Mike Carrells. Kerry Fiedler and Ann Marie Tso both said that they Weren't scared like they were when they were freshmen. They liked the fact that they could pick on the frosh, since they had already been through the rough freshmen year. Believe it or not, being a sophomore did have its advantages.

No more late nights and sleeping until noon, no laying out or watching soaps, and Wylie Beach loses its popularity. However, some students werenit worried about giving these things upg they were more worried about their first day as freshmen at a new school. As the summer drew to a close, many freshmen started to get nervous about high school. Jennifer Hoag was worried about meeting new people and fitting in, while Sara Schwab was more nervous about finding her way around. High school was a big change. Students got more responsibilities and independence. They also started to get treated like adults by their parents and teachers. One of the advantages of being in high school is that my parents let me go out more, they gave me a lot more freedomf, said Sara Schwab. As the year progressed, students realized that there were positive aspects about being in high school.

The heat is off' For a number of years, students as well as teachers have suffered severe shortages of heat at Roncalli. Many have learned to live with it, but newcomers weren't quite prepared for the drastically cold temperatures within. Many considered it a rude awakening to walk into the school on below zero days and feel virtually no difference in climate. Many classrooms converted to portable heaters as their means of survival. Students huddling around these appliances were a common sight to all those of Roncalli. Administrators gave words of encouragement such as we do our best and Hit will get better, but why was it that the office was an average of ten degrees warmer than the rest of the school? Despite the problems, everyone learned to combat frozen toes and frost-bitten fingers. So, if you ever saw students bundling up before they entered the school and wondered about it, now you know why.

The majority of them didn't have jobs, cars, or even as much homework as upperclassmen. So what did they do with all their spare time? Well, many freshmen participated in sports to pass the time. Holly Jeschke, who played basketball, said it helped her to keep in shape. Jaimie Naasz's favorite sport, however, was playing arcade games. He commented, It gave me a chance to meet new people. Another popular activity was watching TV, especially sports, added Bill Sahli. He also said that he thinks it's relaxing and even educational sometimes. Chris Urlacher stated Hunting is a great way to get out and have some fun, which summed up the feelings of quite a few freshmen. According to Bryan Schweitzer, they hunted everything from ducks and pheasants, to deer, and occassionally girls. The girls usually had more productive activities than hunting on their minds, though. While talking on the phone topped the list of spectator sports, shopping, giggling, and gossiping were other popular activities. : .

The theme of Star Search, borrowed from the popular TV show, was carried out with hosts Doug Coughlin, who acted as Ed McMahon, and Kristi Webb and Lori Kessler who appeared as spokesmodels. The variety show also carried through the theme, evaluating the acts on a four-star basis. They were judged by four faculty members: Mrs. Sandy I should be home with the kids Sevig, Mr. Derek Pm a rookie teacher, and they made me do this Robey, Mrs. Patty Pm the secretary and I shouldn't work overtime Vostad, Pages by Patty Pelkofer and Mr. Scott Pd rather be downtown Kusler.

As a finale, the senior girls took the opportunity to sing to their favorite senior sociology teacher. A blushing and embarrassed Derek Robey was the reluctant participant as the girls serenaded him with Mr. Robey, bring me a dream . . . to the tune of Mr, Sandman. After all the festivities, the night concluded on a more somber note. The seniors gathered onstage to celebrate friendship, love, Christ's sacrifice and the true spirit of Mardi Gras.

Other projects included preparing a taco Pages by Patty Pelkofer feed for the NET team during their stay in Aberdeen and putting on an unforgettable Mardi Gras celebration. Not everyone was directly involved in Living Faith, but a vast majority of Roncalli students and faculty members were affected by one or more of the activities. Everyone's ideas were listened to. We came together and shared our thoughts, said Paula Hoerner. Lori Kessler felt she learned through Living Faith. I learned how to share my faith with others, even if it might have been just by smiling or saying 'hi to someone else. I feel my faith has grown through what I've learned. Cherie Heinz, director, said, My hopes were to get everyone involved in a Living Faith activity in some way.

You remember the sight. The clock said 3:05 and the bell had just rung. Students hustled around, gathered homework, and exchanged gossip with their friends. Soon the halls were quiet, all the lockers were closed, and the students had dispersed to football practice or to their job at McDonald's. But what about the rest of the students, the ones who dared to be different? Of course, there were a few couch potatoes who raced home, plopped their homework on the table, grabbed a Coke and some cookies, and positioned themselves comfortably on the sofa just in time to catch the rest of Oprah. On the other hand, many students used the time after school and on weekends to do their own thing. Michelle Senger attended dance class twice a week at the Johnny Cavelle dance studio. In her ninth year, Senger felt that dancing improved her coordination, gracefullness, and overall image of herself. Troy VanOrman's Saturday mornings during the winter were spent at the bowling alley.

Whether it was keeping the streets safe from drunk drivers or helping Jerry's Kids, they all made a contribution to our community. SADD, Students Against Drunk Driving, was instigated at Roncalli in 1985. According to John Barnett, the faculty advisor, The purpose of SADD was to have as many students as possible sign the 'contract for life.' The contract explicitly stated that the student would not drive while drinking-nor ride with a person who has been. Even though SADD was not very active, they were successful in gaining signatures for the contracts. The Key Club members helped out at the bazaar, and went Christmas caroling at nursing homes. They also received an award for outstanding assistance while volunteering their services at the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. The goal of Key Club was to help others, but Kari Toth, president, commented that, Our main purpose was to have fun, while benefiting the communityf' The student council also had fun on their minds but were a little more serious in going about it. Their main activity was sponsoring dances, and they also organized Homecoming. But more importantly they were a sounding board for the student body. Jill Hoffman stated, The students really needed someone that they could talk to and tell their ideas to. This is the most important function of the student council. All in all, in different ways, these three organizations went about improving the Roncalli community.

Pag es by Trish M atson Ac Bde mics 59 Awww ending fe may With the change of both superintendent and principal, administration took on a whole new look. Ron Svoboda became the new head of the Aberdeen Catholic School System, while Bill O'Keefe joined the high school as principal. Mr. Svoboda stated, Catholic schools are remarkably similar across the country. Also, the people here were very friendly and helpful, which made the adjustment easy. Mr. Svoboda added that the hardest part of his job at the beginning of school was recognizing many new people. I'm terrible at remembering names! Principal Bill O'Keefe felt that the hardest part of his job when he began at Roncalli was getting used to the different regulations and reports that were required by the state. He commented, That part of the job should become easier with each passing year. Although some students thought the changes regarding classroom policies and student rules, such as hall passes and a closed cafeteria, were strict, both Mr. Svoboda and Mr. O'Keefe supported them. Mr. O'Keefe said, The classroom rules were put into effect to set a positive tone in the classroom and to provide the best conditions to allow for student success. One familiar administrative face was Roncalli's athletic director, Tom Murphy. He stated that he enjoyed his position, but he had difficulty trying to find time to get everything done. A new problem Mr. Murphy faced was the proposed S650 Swisher Field use fee charged by Northern. With the completed Barnett Center, the college no longer had use for the Civic Arena, so they felt the high schools should help pay some of the maintenance expenses for the field. Ron Svoboda joins the students and faculty as they gather together in weekly worship. Mr. Svoboda took an active part in the liturgy by serving as a lector and as a Eucharistic minister. 60 Administration ar... MM, kffhwf V fa ef . ..

Why did we need to study English? We already knew how to read the language and most of us knew how to write it. We had learned the ABC's from Sesame Street and who needed or wanted more than that? I thought it was good to take English every year. Some of it was review, but I learned a lot, said Jill Hoffman. Actually, the study of English was far broader than we realized . .. Many seniors began to understand the extent of the English language after trying to interpret MacBeth, and by the end of the year, the freshmen class had learned more grammar than they had ever thought possible. At Roncalli, no classes were offered solely on medieval literature or creative writing, but that was not necessarily a disadvantage. We didn't break our English courses down, but I think our basic English classes covered the same mini courses other schools offered. said Janelle Klapperich, teacher. The general knowledge we acquired in English will help us throughout our lives. There were a lot of students at Roncalli High School with very high goals. I tried to teach the students in a way that would help them achieve these goalsf, commented Sandy Sevig, teacher. While some students were struggling with the English language, others were brave enough to attempt a second language: Spanish. Students in Spanish class learned about regular and irregular verbs, practiced speaking and writing the language, and studied the history of Spain. Most students enjoyed learning about another country. Paul Thronson stated, I liked taking Spanish classg the language was very clear and easy to understand, and the class was interesting. 66 Language Arts I Language Arts I - Ed Mitzel enjoys reading and studying history, so when it came time to give oral book reports, he had no problem presenting an interesting, informative report on the Civil War.

One reason for this may have been that all three classes were taught with an emphasis on learning practical skills while still having a good time. In his debate class, Jim Heller stressed not only learning the fundamentals of debate and oral interp but also skills such as organization, research, quick thinking, and the art of simple communication. According to Mr. Heller, when students signed up for the class, many thought that they would just be arguing for a semester. Students with that idea in mind clearly got more than they bargained for. Besides regular class work, students were required to do research, attend meetings, and compete in at least two debate or oral interp tournaments. Paula Guhin also had goals for her students above the basics of art. Because most of us look without seeing, the most important skill learned in art was learning to see, This was achieved by teaching not only drawing, painting, and other artistic basics, but also presenting art history. Besides improving their artistic vision, art sparked many people's creativity, and many planned to pursue it outside of school, whether as a career or as a pastime. K'It's a good hobby you can use throughout your life, commented Traci Ellsworth. The most practical skills were probably learned in Jennifer Mount's home economics classes. They spanned a wide range of subjects ranging from laundry, cooking, and sewing, to money management and family life skills. Mrs. Mount stated, 'KI just wanted my students to get a good understanding of the basic life skills. While nothing could totally prepare a person for life on their own, Mrs. Mount's classes went a long way toward arming students with the know-how to run their own households efficiently. While some students may forget the points of a proper rebuttal, or the recipe for apple pie, they will no doubt remember the rewarding and beneficial life skills acquired in these classes.

But even a chore could be made into some fun. I tried to make them faster, more lively, to take out some of the boredom of warmups, remarked Phyllis Heier, chorus and band instructor. Heier added spice to routine warmups by the use of catchy word phrases with the music scales. Band changes brought about many smiles and comments of approval from faculty, students and parents. The high school band combined with the junior high band to create a larger and more effective group of musicians. Paula Kippley commented, It was fun to play with more people because it was full-sounding. It was nice to hear comments about it sounding good, it made you look forward to playing in the band.

Of course, this may be true, but there are many other aspects of business. Four different business classes were offered. Typing, general business, and business law were all taught by Peggy Thayer. Janelle Klapperich was the bookkeeping instructor. Typing students learned and practiced speed and accuracy. They typed business letters and tables, Word processing was also introduced in the second semester. Learning information on how to be a wise consumer was the main outline for general business students. They also learned how to maintain checking accounts. Recording business transactions and financial situations was what accounting students were taught. Accounting is something that everyone should take and know about. I think that it will help me most in money management, stated Kristi Bossly.

From the beginning, Roncalli has been based around the teachings of the Catholic religion. The subjects that were taught in the religion classes varied from reading the Old Testament to studying marriage and the family, but the ideas were usually the same: the fact that God and religion were an important part of our lives. Students' opinions on being required to take a religion class varied. I liked religion class, said Cory Backous. I learned why we were here at Roncalli . . . to learn to live as good Christians. Juleen McGrane had a different opinion. She stated, I didn't really like religion because it won't be useful later on. I wish that I could have taken something that would have prepared me for college. Added Dan Zerr, I loved religion class. I liked to hear Father Kelly's unusual theories on life? Every time we gathered, at mass, for a prayer service, for reconcilation, before a basketball game, during school, or after a football game, we showed how different, and how special our school is. Roncalli is different than other schools, there was an atmosphere here of specialness, and of freedom. People really expressed themselves and cared for each other at Roncallif' said Cherie Heinz, spiritual life director. Prayer preceeded us into victory, and it helped us overcome defeat in all areas of our lives. 76 Religion Religion The freshmen class talks to the student body in sign language during a weekly mass.

Students seemed to have had love-hate relationships with these subjects: they either loved them or hated them. HI've loved math since I could count, even though my grades didn't always reflect it, said Scott Guhin. No one can dispute the significance math and computers have in our society today, and it's growing all the time. Two years of math were required and one credit of computer science became mandatory. Most agreed that this was not always fun, but that it was necessary. Jill Hoffman stated, HI wouldn't have taken computers if it hadn't been required, but I'm glad I did because I learned a lotf, Troy Van Orman commented, Knowing about computers will just make things that much easier in college and later on. With a smile he added, Besides that, I think it's kind of fun. Many students understood that the need for computer literacy did not end with high school but could extend throughout a person's life. Lynette Chang stated, Computers are coming up in the world, and you,re going to need some experience to get almost any kind of - H job. This was not the only attitude found among the student body. Bea Gohn said, Math is important, I suppose, but I just don't understand it. No matter which attitude the students had concerning math and computers, they played a strong role in society, and their role will continue to increase in the future.

One French student, Kay Wall, said Hlt was different because you broke out of the stereotypes, and you realized they fCentral studentsl were just normal teens like everybody else?

Why then, did the physical education classes teach freshmen and sophomores sports such as archery and table pool, which can hardly be called physically exhausting? Colette Burchardt, physical education teacher, replied, We tried to expose kids to enough activities so find something that they liked and could continue when they finish school.

Golf, pickleball, racquetball, and softball were just a few more on the list of physical skills that the underclassmen learned. Another activity of the class didn't focus on any kind of ball, and it went a step beyond keeping bodies fit. CPR taught the students how to save lives.

On Fridays, students spent their time making plans and checking out possible parties. And if there was a game on a week night, studying was often neglected as , students talked about the hopeful win.

There were so many books and catalogs in the guidance room and so many choices I'd have to make, said Kelly Fagerland. However, there was no need to feel at a loss. All the books for colleges were arranged according to the state they were found in, and all the books were up to date. Guidance counselor John Barnett felt that the guidance office gave the students the opportunity to explore future plans and ideas freely. However, career and college choices weren't the only aspects Mr. Barnett dealt with. He also spent time helping students out with their personal problems.

Charles Kornmann puts pressure on a Milbank player to aid his team during the battle with the Bulldogs. Roncalli lost 58-66. Th eyire all stars If one looked for a star player on Roncalli's basketball team, one wouldn't succeed. One would, however, find seven team members that led a balanced attack against their opponents. No one person stole the spotlight. Everyone contributed in one way or another to this year's team's success. The balance of the talent spread throughout the players gave the team many weapons offensively and defensively and also made it hard for our was the leadership. All the members of the team displayed the quality, especially the seniors, whether they came off the bench or started. There was always someone there providing the leadership that was needed to pull out another win,', said Coach Kusler. Consistency was an added component in the winning record. A mid-season three- game losing streak might have shaken some teams, but it didn't effect these guys. They fought harder to win the hearts Our balance was our strength. I don't think that any team came out and focused on just one or two people, but rather they had to key on all five on the floorf' - Tony Bock opponents to key on one or two players,', commented Tony Bock, senior forward. Years of experience playing together had a positive effect on the team. L'We knew each other's strengths and weaknesses. It was a lot easier to play with one another because we knew where each person was going to go at all timesf' said Todd Imbery, senior forward. Dan Zerr, senior guard, added, 'APlaying together for so long really helped us in tough situations. Head coach, Scott Kusler felt that another important factor of the fans as they battled their way to the state tournament. Consistency was always there. Throughout the year, there wasn't a game in which we totally fell apart. Even when we lost, consistency in our playing was still very evident, according to Coach Kusler. A very solid season was the product of all these ingredients forming a melting pot of talent. Coach Kusler said, They were a special group, and their different personalities made practice fun. Their unity and willingness to learn and improve made games fun. - - 1 - I I Boys Br Basketball Scoreboard Roncalli Opponent I ' 46 Webster 31 49 Miller 40 46 Groton 29 38 Britton 39 48 Clark 44 29 Sisseton 39 61 Redfield 33 27 Britton 30 40 Huron 69 I 50 Milbank 40 43 Central 66 39 Webster 21 49 Groton 39 37 Watertown 26 51 Clark 27 35 Milbank 47 38 Sisseton 68 I 43 Redfield 56 -FIl:IAL-RECORD 10-8 I J Jamie Hines fights for possession of the ball at the tip off.

The freshmen year is like a new beginning: new school, new administration, new rules, and most importantly new responsibility. 1 14 Closing hat was this year? Well it was long, but it was short too. It was fun, but it did have its serious moments. In other words, it was special, unique, and maybe even one in a million. lt was a year for firsts. For the first time ever a team from Aberdeen made it to the football state championships. State 'A' was the climax for the boys basketball team as they earned a trip to the state tournament. Roncalli hasn't been to State 'A' since 1975. The magazine drive had the highest average of money collected per student. The good fortune was not ex- clusive to Roncalli, however. This was the first year of South Dakota having a early presidential primary. Be- cause of this, many candi- dates visited our state. On a national level, summit meet- ings were held between the United States and Russia, and our constitution cele- brated its 200th anniversary. The Winter Olympics, held in Canada, also were an important event to many Americans. Amidst the celebration, there were also tears: tears of joy as we defeated our cross- town rival, Central, during football. After the disap- pointing loss in Vermillion, tears of frustration were seen on the eyes of players and fans. Who could forget the tears of Keith Geffre and Patty Pelkofer as they were crowned our royalty? Wild and crazy, quiet and contemplative, the year had a taste of everything. Wheth- er it was homecoming week, retreats, the Christmas Mass, Mardi Gras, dinner dance, extracurricular activi- ties, or saying goodbye, the key word was contrast. Somehow it all came togeth- er to make up one great year in which we realized that in- deed We've Got It All! l Freshmen Jeff Fossum, Ryan Opitz, Carey Mitzel, -lason Goebel, and Jason Rieck discuss the latest happenings before class.

The sophomore year can be described as year in limbo, They anticipated their leadership abilities for the coming years, but they still felt the insecurity of being underclassmen.
