Bonnie Croft correctly guessed his identity and was rewarded with a box of candy. The spirit of the West lived on as Roncalli students put on their best duds and pulled out their cowboy hats. Dressing for the basketball games got students fired up and ready to cheer their team on to victory. Here, Keith Geffre, Patty Pelkofer, Travis Wertz, Jim O'Keefe, and Dee Sillman show off their favorite Western gear. 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.
