Rohian 1976 Roosevelt High School Virginia, Minnesota Volume 69 The most traumatic experience in one's life is supposed to be birth. One is forced from warmth and protection into the frightening world of new sounds and strange colors. Life’s second most memorable experience is probably one's years in senior high school. You might forget the day you were born, but you’ll never forget the happy years of getting up early, getting along with people, and starting to see what life will be about. The 1976 Rohian is the story of one of those years. Just this year alone we survived dozens of tests, quizes, and other pressures on our overworked minds. Coaches pushed our bodies to their physical limits, and inflation, oil shortages, and gas prices made sure we didn't have too much fun on weekends. 2 IN PRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 3 Yearbooks are not meant for today, they're meant for tomor- row. The year is fresh in our minds as we sign autographs and wince at how terrible our pictures turned out. But in twenty years will we remember Homecoming, the Prom or the Virginia — Eveleth hockey game? Probably not. We'll never be so old that we forget completely, but the details will fade as the years pass. The 1976 Rohian will serve as a memory refresher. In the year 2000 we will be in our forties. Read this book then. It might make you laugh, or it might make you cry. But if it makes you REMEMBER, it has accomplished its purpose. V, C‘ A }h} y 1976 ... The 200th birthday of the United States, a presidential election year, a leap year, the Olympics in J Montreal. Any one of these events is special in itself. But 1976 is also the year 264 seniors will graduate from Roosevelt High School in Virginia, Minnesota. There have been few years as memorable, and few graduating classes as unique. The staff of the 1976 Rohian has tried to capture this memorability and uniqueness in its 172 pages. A Closer World? International ‘‘There can be no peace among men unlit there is peace within men , but 1975- 1976 wasn’t the year men found this inner peace. After thirty years of conflict in which millions lost their kves. the Wai m Indochina came to an end The peace wasn't peaceful. Within weeks. Communist forces stormed over Viet Nam. smashed its army, forced the resignation of President Thieu and drove out the last Americans. War took many lives in Northern Ireland and the Middle East, and young American men grew uneasy at the thought of a renewed draft to assist Angola One major undertaking proved to strengthen a weak bond between the USA and the USSR, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The orbital link-up of a Russian Soyuz and an American Apollo, flawlessly executed, was an aid to detente. US astronauts were even made to seem like heroes in the Soviet Union. The 1976 Winter Olympics were held in Innsbruck. Austria Dorothy Hamill was the heroine of the United States with her gold figure skating medal, and Cindy Nelson from Lutsen took bronze medal in skiing. Steve Sertich. a Roosevelt graduate, the captain of the American Hockey Team, scored a hat-trick in their game against the Yugoslavs. National 1975 1976 was dominated by an epidemic of loathsome crimes for money and political gam The kidnap On September 18 the world’s most famous kidnap victim, Patty Hearst. was found in San Francisco after months of involuntary (or volun- tary) bondage with the SLA. Her sanity ruling lasted six weeks after the arrest, during which time Sarah Jane Moore tried to shoot the President. All beat Frazier. New York's troubles grew worse as far as finances went. Generalissimo Franco lay on his deathbed and President Ford fired his CIA chief and reshuffled his top staff. Another kidnap victim. Jimmy Hoffa, Teamster leader, was presumed dead after months of absence. President Ford barely survived his first full year as the United State’s first appointed president, escaping two assination attempts. Lynette Squeaky Fromme. a iollower of Charles Manson. called attention to the Manson cult by pointing a gun at the President. She testified that Manson had ordered her to do this from his jail cell. The once secret goings-on of the CIA are a secret no longer. The CIA's special status was and still is an important factor in national security. A Senate committee, a House commission, and Vice President Rockefeller were at work digging up well kept secrets. It seems Fidel Castro and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo had been marked for murder 8 times, involving CIA hiring of mafia members. The CIA interfered in the election of Allende to the Chilean presidency. The agency opened over ?00.000 private letters to and from the Soviet Union. They used humans for drug experiments which resulted in several hushed-up deaths. And these are the men responsible (or our security? 8 NEWS State Is water in the Lake Superior region unsafe to drink?

They asked “Where can we put it” when brought to court Judge Miles lord ordered a shutdown and was promptly replaced. Bottled water was issued by the gallon in the Duluth area Legislators made it apparent that industry was more important than health. Snowmobilers were enraged when a snowmobile ban was proposed for the BWCA Avid snowmobile fans believe the law would put a damper on their fun. but environmentalists applauded the action, saying the BWCA should be left natural'' with no noisy polluting machines ruining the area. Seventeen and eighteen year olds were disgusted at the proposed nineteen year old drinking law. State legislators said high school drinking was rising because eighteen year olds can supply minors with booze, and some seniors were eating their lunch m local bars. In the rest of Minnesota, this was probably true, but not in Virginia This law would punish those eighteen year olds who go in bars not to drink, but |ust to be where everyone else is. Eighteen year olds should not be punished for what younger kids illegally consume. The year was one of change at our dear school, and change often brings complaints. One major change was the 1976 Prom It was not in the gym or at the end of April. It was held on April 2 at the Holiday Inn. This obstruction of tradition was met with many complaints. The cafeteria started serving chocolate and vanilla matts with lunches, and no one complained about that. Another biggie in the complaint department was the announcement of NO FREE HOURS next year This made students mad. and enraged juniors and seniors are bound to make sure that the new system does not run smoothly The teachers in our school participated m a slowdown concerning contract negotiations with the school board. The teachers were eventually forced to settle for less pay. but in the meantime students suffered. Our AFS student from Guatemala.

Educ VHS has seen a lot of changes in educa- tion during the past year; namely the introduction of new classes and teachers and changing old names of classes to new names. The music department has had some delightful changes. The band has a new, energetic director, Mr. Vukmanich. And the orchestra was lucky enough to get an experienced teacher who is familiar to all — Mr. Geary. ‘‘Life isn’t all beer and games, but beer and games, or something of the same sort, must form a good part of everyone’s education.” Thomas Hughes We’ve witnessed a few changes in the sophomore biology and history classes. No longer do sophomores have to take the full year general biology course. VHS now of- fers a half semester of the required princi- ples of biology and the next semester the students have their choice. The courses offered are microbiology, genetics, physi- ology, horticulture, and ecology. Juniors and seniors are also taking advantage of these biology courses. They find them helpful in future careers, as well as fun and interesting. In All Its The history classes have also changed to add a variety for the sophomores. The traditional World History and Culture Area Studies classes have been divided into different areas to provide more interest for students. There is a very beneficial business course that many students should look into. This class is Income Tax Procedures. The English department experienced only a slight change. Novels I and II are now referred to as Best Sellers and Con- temporary Novels. The Health Careers class is a new vo- cational course that offers area students a chance to explore the many health fields available to them. 1 Dan Joelson and Mike Babiracki find it easier to use the computer. 2 Mr Swenson can be proud of his busy class. 3.

In our school there are many people of all kinds, shapes, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Even though all these people differ from one another, every one of them has one particular trait in com- mon; determination. This quality is evident in their various endeavors. Whether it be to excel in an acedemic course or to achieve a victory in competitive sports. The possession of this quality is extremely important. “I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard.” William Lloyd Garrison It leads to the formation of a very important practice; the ability to set a goal for oneself and then to strive to one’s utmost to accomplish this goal. This, in turn, will lead to the betterment of the individual. In order to survive in the world today, a person must be determined to continually better himself through his ac- complishments. In that way, he will be- come an asset to society rather than a hindrance. The explication of the paltry vocable explanation is actually inconsequential. Since we have found it recurrently expedi- ent to be explicitly respondent to the inter- rogation with unqualified clarity; as to the rational, or lack of it; by what mode, the practicability, the potentiality, the feasibil- ity, and contingencies that should arise, that would justify a circumstance or ma- neuver. “I wish he would explain his educa- tion.” Don Juan Therefore, based upon the above infor- mation, I find it of negligible consequence if I cease to expound further upon the vocable explanation, since you have all experienced the above mentioned situa- tions many times before, and will again in the near future. 1.

Chris Ikola listens to a friend across the room. 7 Debbie Ableman comments on her friend’s paper Humiliation Have you ever had one of those awful, embarrassing, humilating days when ev- ery—thing goes wrong? Most people have, and at VHS it isn’t hard to find a flushing face and a crowd of laughter at any time of the day. “Nature never makes any blun- ders; when she makes a fool she means it.” Henry William Shaw It isn’t hard to be humiliated. All you have to do is fall up the stairs, trip over a desk, say the wrong thing at the wrong time; the list is almost endless. Humili- ation is embarrassing at the time, but in a few days, months, or years you can al- ways look back on it and have a good laugh. 3 Coope Cheering at a pep assembly, listening to a teacher, participating in a club are all examples of the thing we call cooperation. Cooperation comes in many forms. At times its fun to cooperate in various ac- tivities; to really get involved in something you are interested in. VHS offers many things for students to do, but its up to them to get involved. “The highest and best form of effi- ciency is the spontaneous coopera- tion of free people.” Woodrow Wilson Thanks to the student and their cooper- ation, the magazine drive and bicentennial pin sales turned out successfully. And all the classes benefitted from it. Cooperation can be found all around us, but there can never be too much of it. 1.

So go the words to the song familiar to all VHS’ers; words that most students can readily identify with. He was so unlucky that he ran into trouble which started out to hap- pen to somebody else. Donald Marquis Everyone experiences “one of those days” every now and then; days that often start with getting up late, missing the bus, and tripping up the front steps of school in an effort to avoid being marked tardy. 1 The day continues with flunking an- other algebra quiz, starving through noon hour, having forgotten your lunch, and continuing an age-old argument with your parents after school. It finally culminates in an uneventful run down main street after a totally disastrous hockey game. On days like these, the only thing that makes them bearable is the realization that to- morrow will be a better day; certainly it couldn’t be any worse! 1. Tantrums can be tun! 2.

The look on Dave Mattson's face reflects how his day has been. es Right Communic ition There are several forms of communica- tion, although the most common form be- tween two or more people is talking. Some people are experts at talking (and talking, and talking). It’s been said that actions speak louder than words. The way some people move their bodies, language should be X-rated. “Forget not to do good and to communicate; for with such sacri- fices God is well pleased. Hebrews 13:16 Other people say a lot by not saying anything at all. A moaning and groaning when your history teacher gives you the 10th report assignment of the week effec- tively communicates your feelings. Com- munication, then, is more than just talk- ing. t Ima Imagination on the part of the student accounts for much of his success at VHS. It is necessary, to some extent, in all endeavors. It inspires art masterpieces, provides for interesting papers, and makes seemingly impossible math problems solv- able. Imagination may also be seen in such nonscholastic things as the way one dress- es, the things one says, and yes, even in the pages of the Rohian. “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein Through the vividness of a student’s imagination, the most boring lecture can set the stage for an exciting daydream. And a goal may be set and eventually realized because of an imagination- sparked dream. It is apparent that imagi- nation is important to all, and it plays a large part in the various achievements of students at VHS. 1.

The methods by which this goal is realized vary with each student. During the school day, ‘If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.” Herodotus It is not difficult to find people indulging in their various forms of relaxation; dozing in the study hall, poring over a book in the library (probably gossiping with friends), listening to tapes in the student lounge, lounging at their lockers, or daydreaming in class about the up-coming weekend. Relaxa Relaxation during the school week is essential in order to sustain the student through his action-filled weekend, al- though relaxation may be wedged into his busy schedule. There is always time for sleeping in late on Saturday mornings and for taking a break from homework on Sunday nights to watch a favorite T.V. show. Relaxation, in all of its forms, is a necessary part of everyones life. It pro- vides time to escape from the day's pres- sures and prepares one for the more tur- bulent days to come. 1. Pia Starkovich and Jean Richards find it easy to relax in the library. 2 Kathy Fleming laughs at the teacher when he tells her to get off the desk. 3. Foosball is a game that relaxes Dave Vack and Bob Nori. 4 Bob Thayer, Brad Skytta, and Tin Markkuia rest between classes. 5.

But. after an ex- tensive investigation of the situation it is apparent that these “normal” people do some very strange things. After all, how many liberated members of the girl's swimming team would remove from the lockers of unli- berated swimmers an article of apparel that is deemed unessential only by liberal-minded thieves? It's hard to believe that the highly inquisitive and investigative mem- bers of the physics classes find it necessary to take a break from their extensive research by escaping into the halls to play with “slinkies , little rubber balls, and anything else they can find that qualifies as a playful experiment. Since when is it normal for the entire bass section of the A Cappella Choir to develop an insatiable desire that can be satisfied only by playing a form of musical chairs while the substitute isn't looking? What well-adjusted swimmer is so insecure in the deep end of the pool that he must drag a ladder with him, just to keep from getting water up his nose? H.R. Beulke — Principal Frank Rukavina — Asst.

For some, summer vacation heralds the promise of trips to visit friends and relatives in far away places. The prospect of earning money through a summer job appeals to many students. For others, it means viewing the countryside while taking canoe or camping trips. For still others, it signifies the beginning of a relaxing summer at the cabin where they may swim, fish, water-ski, sun tan, or meet friends at those unforgettable lake parties. For those people who stay home, tennis, cycling, and baseball provide exercis enjoyment, and participation with friends. With all of these activities to keep students busy, it is no wonder that they look forward to summer vacation. But, inevitably, as the vacation progresses and the summer draws to a close, VHS students anticipate the day which marks the reunion of old friends and the beginning of a new school year. 1.

Winter makes possible such enjoyable outdoor activities as skiing, skating, and snowmobiling. Also, it marks the commencement of many exciting school sports including boys swimming, curling, wrestling, basketball, and hock- ey. Included in the winter season is the celebrated Snow Week, with its decorations, coronations, and snow sculpture competition. With all of these special events, it’s no wonder why most VHS students enjoy winter in spite of the weather. 1. Pan Miettunen likes winter but sometimes wishes that it wasn't always so cold. 2.

WHTER 33 Back The Devils Queen Ann Sacchetti and King Fred Shusterich reigned over the 1975 VHS Homecoming. Dedicated not only to last year’s graduat- ing class, but also to this year’s class of ’76, Homecoming gave recognition to all fall sports, not just to football. In an attempt to curb student apathy, the week’s activities, under the able supervi- sion of Mr. Turk, were concentrated on three days; Dress-Up Day, Blue Ribbon Day, and Blue Spirit Day. Included in the these days was the Devil Hunt and two new events; the Tug of War and the Egg Throwing Contest. The shortened week did much to encourage student participation, but it did little to shorten the anticipation of Friday night’s football game. During half-time, the VHS band,under their new director. Mr. Vukmanich, paid tribute to the Bicentennial as they marched in various commemorative formations. The sopho- mores demonstrated what inventiveness and a little hard work could do as their float placed first, much to the embarrassment of the juniors and seniors. Despite a Blue Devil loss to Grand Rapids, it remained the contention of most VHS students that they would Back the Devils — Back the Best. 34 HOMECOMING 1.

HOMECOMING 35 Campus Life 36 CAMPUS LIFE Campus Life starts off the year by a series of Burger Bashes. These take place in Virginia and all over the Range. The Campus Life meetings in Virginia are every Thursday night at different houses. There are two types of meetings, insight and regular Campus Life. Insight meetings are more on the serious side and you get into a lot of thinking. Regular Campus Life meetings consist of lively activities such as the manhunt and discussions. One main event that showed up from time to time was the dreaded electric chair. It you were unlucky enough to have to sit on it, you were probably regretting it for quite a while afterward. The big event of the year is Living End. This takes place at the Marnot Inn in Minneapolis for 4 days and 3 nights. This year the main speakers were: Ken Davis, former range YFC-Campus Life director: Jeff Siemon of the Minnesota Vikings; a husband and wife singing team; and President of YFC Campus Life International, Jay Kesler. Campus Life director Ken Engstrom says this about it, Campus Life, a club for VHS students meets nightly in kids homes, with no attendence requirements or dues. Students discuss topics of interest like sex, dating, drugs, friendship troubles, family — generally everyth- ing and anything. The balanced philosophy of life — physical, mental, social, and spititual — is promoted. The newest addition to the fine arts festival was the foreign languare day. The hall by the languare rooms was turned into a European cafe. French crepes filled with strawberry sauce were eaten as fast as they could be made. Folk dances made the halls come alive with costumed dancers, who pulled spectators into the gaiety by teaching them Spanish dances. Cultural fairy tales were told to fascinated listeners as they ate French and Spanish delacacies. The old library once again functioned as an art museum in which macrames, sculptures, and paintings were displayed. Students as well as the public were encouraged to visit display areas to appreciate the craftsmanship and talent of fellow VHS students. 1. Brace Carlson (eels Grrrreat at the Living End! 2.

FINE ARTS FESTIVAL 37 The 1975 Prom was a success, but what Prom isn’t? Girls from the class of 1976 cut, pasted, drew, traced, colored, and tried to make the setting of the gym resemble Goodbye Yellow Brick Road . They even went all out and imported a band from Duluth. Dozens of rainbowed names hung around the gym, only to be pulled down by each couple as a final remembrance. After all, it’s not the decorations that are important, it’s the person you go with. But by the end of the night the theme Yellow Brick Road” had wound its way into the memories of the dancing couples who came and went as quickly as the punch. 1. Tom Holmes was such a big help In decorating for the Prom! 2. Mr. Pastika and his wife are still young enough to enjoy a rock dance. 3. An unknown couple seem engrossed with each other slow dancing at the Prom. 4 The band from Duluth. Mamon, proved to be worth sending away for. 5. Sheri Tamte seems to be lost amid the many Prom decorations. 38 Dance With Me The first step was to find a band that Tri-Hi and Entre Nous could afford. Then various committees did their jobs for three weeks to produce the finished product . .. Turnabout 1975. The theme was Dance With Me and Cahoots did a better job singing it than the original group. The Elroy, which always seems to be the most popular place to eat, had reservations for 150. After dinner was the party, which brought most people home in the early hours of the morning. 1. Shannon Greene, Kathy Thompson, and Mary Economy wish they were doing decorations instead ot punch. 2. Robb Anderson and Cathy Cornell stop to talk, drink punch, and rest. 3. Tony Norman and Dawn Koski are one ot few couples from the same grade. 4 Miss Moberg, Tri-Hi advisor and Mrs. Hurd, Entre Nous advisor, chaperoned the Turnabout. 5.

The juniors, surprisingly, exceeded their goal of $3500 by almost $2000, surpassing the record set in 1972. Leading salespersons included Dan Nelson, Dawn Marsyla and Vicky Ziegler. Dedicated chairmen, team captains, advisors, and sellers all contributed to making the junior effort a success. The seniors’ projected goal before sales started was $10,500. Chairmen were hard to find, but once a few students volunteered, the drive progressed rapidly. The first days, as usual, were plagued with only a few students turning in money, and the drive looked grim. But by its completion, the goal was reached with an excess of $5000. Dana Hestetune, Doug Collie, and Joel Johnson were the top three senior salespersons, in increasing sales order. It was noted by the man from Readers' Digest who organized the drive that Joel sold more magazines than anyone in the history of the drive in the U.S. Congratula- tions are in order to all sellers and to the Senior Class who finally succeeded at one of their endeavors. 1.

They have decided to do their bit for the economy and for them- selves; get a |Ob. Whether it be for some extra spending money, to pay for a car, or get some money together for college, the number of working students is on the rise. These part- time jobs include everything from pumping gas to being a star OJ. Unfortunately, with more students working, the number of those participating in extra-curricular activities has gone down. Many have had to decide which they would rather do, get a job, or participate in some after-school activity. There were a few ambitious souls who have tried to tackle both, but they've found out it doesn't work too well. The quality of performance usually goes down in one or the other. 1.

But you’ve got to admit, it is an important year. The U.S.A. is 200 years old, but still it’s just beginning. So are VHS students; old in their own way but still a lot of life to live. The spirit of 1976 is a little weak but its heart is beating strong. 1. Clement Chong came to the U.S. for a great year — the American Bi-Centen- nial 2.

Medical authorities said that tour drunks in a year meant addiction. Were we really all alcoholics? Whatever the answer, the local liquor stores did a thriving business. Unknown vandals left their mark throughout the school. Treated as heroes by many, these culprits did everything from autographing the water tower (at the top) to ripping off the doors on the boy’s can. If some students did half as good a job on their English papers as they do on the bathroom walls, the Honor Roll would take up one whole page in the Mesabi Daily News. Many kids indulging in the smoking habit found out that they couldn't do so very near the school. Detention was freely handed out to anyone caught smoking in the alley or on school grounds. 7 STUDENT LIFE 47 Apathy Overcome A long silence followed by whispered exclamations of disbelief were the reactions to the faculty's announcement of the cancella- tion of Snow Week. The reason for cancellation was student apathy. While most students complained, What's winter without Snow Week? , a few students decided to do something about it. Thanks to the hard work of Mickey Bouska and Ann Knudslem, a student-sponsored Snow Week was hastily prepared. Included in the week was the coronations of Dan Lundberg and Jo Metzger, a pep assembly, a peanut race, a broomball game, and especially well-received banana and ice cream eating contests. The week was a success and it proved that with a little imagination, determina- tion, and cooperation, apathy can be overcome. 1. Sally Roskoski and Renee Bachman hope they win the 3-legged race. 2.

There are many miscellaneous events that are included in the school year and in the personal lives of students. Without a doubt, the most important exam a sixteen year old ever takes is his driver's test. Tension mounts as the day approaches, after months of anticipation. Passing the test means the fullfillment of a life long dream; failing it means more preparation for next time.” Junior Achievement, meeting Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes Saturdays, provides good learning experiences for members again this year. And volunteer organizations, such as Volunteens at the nursing home and Candy Stripers at the hospital gave a feeling of satisfaction to those willing to give of themselves. 50 STUDENT LIFE Back on the school scene there were several things which helped break up the monotony ot the school year. Once again at Halloween time, the students were able to dress as witches, monsters, and ghouls of all sorts. Although few people took advantage of the opportunity this year, those who did dress up had fun in their impressive costumes. Assemblies, though sparcely scheduled, were on the whole, well-organized and well-received. The stu- dent lounge was used by very few stu- dents this year. Unfortunately it may be nonexistant next year due to the abolish- ment of free hours. Apathy was increasingly evident at sports events and club meetings. This gen- eral disinterest threatened the discontin- uation of Pep Club and caused faculty cancellation of Snow Week. However, a handful of concerned students got togeth- er in an attempt to combat apathy. Their success was a tribute to their own hard work and an incentive for future years. 1. Front Row: J Asbach.

The team was plagued by injuries this year, especially to right ankles. Three gymnasts had to sit out for at least part of the season because of injuries to their right ankles. Coach Hanamen, in her first year with the girls, made them work hard. With only one senior on the team, the coach is looking forward to a good season next year. Gymnastics, like most girls sports, received little support from spectators. Next year the team hopes for more support, especially from fellow VHS students. 1.

Coached by Roger Nelson and Dave Crockett, the team started out rather poorly. But thanks to the performance of outstanding wrestlers — co-captains Kim Filter and Rick Erickson as well as Pat Cunningham and Terry Achin, the team rallied to place third in the IRC.

Who knows, but Sheila Robinson, better known as Moo , displayed her amazing skill in tennis as she placed third in individual competition at state level. Her teammates also exhibitied much knowledge of the game of tennis and won eight out of thirteen matches in their second season. A doubles team of Diane Backman and Cathy Tomonovich also went to state, only to be defeated by a more experienced team. Nevertheless, they represented us well and we can only hope that the team will continue to do so in the coming years. 1. Terri Krisak, with an air of authority, returns the ball to her opponent. 2.

Undefeated in eleven matches, the team took the I.R.C. Crown and went on to win the District 27 Championship. Not to be defeated by either Duluth East or Nibbing, the Blue Devils also captured the Region 7 title. The entire team advanced to the state championships, where they took fourth place and completed the season with an overall record of sixteen wins and two losses. TENNIS 57 Disappointing Season The 1975 football season was less than spectacular. After two consecu- tive seasons with 8-1 records, the team finished 4-5. This was the first time Coach Haege had experienced a losing season. There were several reasons why the season resulted in the way it did. First, the team was inexperienced. Only five members had played the year before, and only three were starters This may have bothered the team early in the season, but it shouldn't have bothered them as they gained more experience. Secondly, the team wasn't in the best of shape for the first game. Preseason practice wasn’t as strenuous as it should have been. Lastly, the team had a morale problem. Coach Haege had a tendency to make scapegoats of the seniors. But actually the whole team suffered from poor morale. This may have resulted from the defeat in the first game, after which the team never seemed to get going. Coach Haege hopes for a better season next year since many lettermen will be returning. In all fairness to the team, it had big shoes to fill following the class of 1975, and it just didn't quite measure up. 58 FOOTBALL 1. Devils use their heads in order to stop the opponent. 2.

Flying Cinders The 1975 boy's track season saw the emergence of several outstanding individuals. Dan Hendrickson, the state cross country champion of 1974, was also the Region's top long distance runner. First place in the regional meet was also awarded to Gary Branville in the hurdles, Joe Zebro in sprints, and Jody Olson in the 880 yard run. In addition, Jim Garret performed well in the high jump competition. Although this year’s team will miss the efforts of last years seniors, especially in the field competition, Co-captains Jody Olson and Steve Marcella hope for a fine season. 1.

But when the track finally dried up, they were off and running. The team was rather young and lacking in much needed practice due to late melting snow, ram, and conflicting baseball games. But despite all of these set-backs, the season progressed fairly well. As always, there were a few minor injuries but these were outweighed by the new records that were set by many tracksters illustrating their fine abilities. Melody Mattson, a freshman, for instance, broke the previous high- jump record of 4'6 with a jump of 5'6”. Unfortunately, the team was not represented at the annual state meet. But the next season should hopefully provide better weather conditions, resulting in more suc- cessful outcomes. 1. Front Row: M Watt. S. Pakkala, J. Abon, K Nelson, M. Mattson, R. Branville, S.

Due to the monopolized play of last year’s talented seniors, this year's team members, whose undeveloped skills had before been neglect- ed, were comparatively inexperienced. The boys also had to adjust to a new coach with new programs and new ideals. Emphasizing character, self-discipline, teamwork and most of all, respect, Coach Tom Moeller strove to help the players gam insight into the importance of life as well as the game of basketball. 1.

The team received a high rating and proved its skill by winning the IRC Championship. The curlers advanced to the state tournament where they defeated Grand Marais. In the second game of the state spiel they were victorious over Chisholm: the third game resulted in a loss to Mankato East. But the Devils rallied to defeat Duluth Central in the final game. And so their season culminated in a third place finish in the state tournament. The boys' prospects look promising for next year, with two starters and three alternates returning. Although the girl curlers didn’t compete with other schools, they gained experience as a team. 64 CURUNG The girl’s basketball team experienced their second success- ful season in their second year of play. Losing only to Hibbing the girls achieved a record of 13 wins, 3 losses. Top scorers of the young team were Robin Branville and Sheila Robinson, both juniors. The girls started out with a large team, but due to miuries and other unavoidable circumstances, the group dwindled down to a fairly small but hard-working team. Jon and Carol Peterson were the coaches and the girl's major sources of encouragement. The team practiced every night after school and even during vacations. Their goal for next year is to beat Hibbing and have a perfect season. 1. Front Row; R Halunen. L Maki, R Branville. M Hariamaki. B Girard. Second Row: A Nemamc. S. Robinson. S. Pakkola.

BASKETBAU 65 Stride Pride The cross country team worked very hard during conditioning this year, practicing in the morning and in the evening. Most members ran at least ten miles everyday. The team itself could be labeled as the fastest cross country team in the history of our school. Although singly there was not one extremely outstanding runner, collectively the team ran quickly. As a result, many of the members placed high on the rosters. Bill Hafdahl took second in the regional meet and represented the team at state. The overall record of the team was not perfect, but the gains made through the team’s determination and running efforts more than made up for the scores. The endurance displayed by these individuals was admirable. 1. Paul Fraboni strives to stay ahead. 2. B1 Hafdahl, regional runnerup, tires towards the end of a long meet. 3.

However, accomplishments were marked by Mark Leese’s and Richie Peterson's advancement to both the district and then the regional tournaments. Richie continued to play in the state tournament. Coach David Crockett notes that the outlook for next season is extremely promising with the return of all lettermen. 1. John Geheknan — the agony of a missed putt. 2. J. Geiselman, M. Steinbauer, M Leese, D. Vack. D. Erchul, R. Peterson. 3. Dave Vack knows that concentration is the name of the game. 4. Mark Leese keeps his eye on the ball. GOLF 67 Off To A Slow Start Young and inexperienced is a very good description of this year’s volleyball team. Their troubles began when only four mem- bers of last year’s “A team returned. The season started out slow with quite a few losses. Despite this, team morale was high. As time progressed they gained the experience that comes with hours of practice. The latter part of the season proved to be more successful. The team began to win a few more games. As a result, the season ended almost even with 7 wins and 8 losses. Sub- regions ended the season on a sour note. In the final match they faced A-HL. In the three years previous to this, every A-HL-Virginia match has ended the same way. Virginia winning the first, A-HL the second, and Virginia the deciding third. This year the pattern changed. Virginia lost. This year's most valuable player was Renee Bachman, and the most improved was Cathy Mattonen, both seniors. Next year’s co-captains are Jane Mesich and Merri Harja- maki. 1. Front Row: M. Rodas. R.

As a result of this torren- tial downpour, ten of the sixteen games scheduled were cancelled. This didn't stop the Devil's though. They participated in the district tournaments, only to be defeated by Babbitt in the semi-finals. Although the players tried to make it a memorable season by working well together as a team, Coach Gary Kokal looks to next season for a more impressive record of victories. 1.

BASEBAU 69 Junior Dominated The VHS girls set many new pool and team records as they swam to a 9-3 season. One new item this year was the touchpads installed in the VHS pool. These devices not only made timing easier but also more accurate, as demonstrated when Cathy Carlson tied her opponent to the thousandth of a second in the 100 yard freestyle. The team was dominated by juniors such as Robin Branville, who set a startling number of pool records. Coach Rantala was pleased with the season, but looks forward with anticipation to next year when the team plans to set even more records and experience many victories. 1.

The team was defeated by Hibbmg, Chishom and Eveleth; the latter two were losses of only one point. One reassuring and comforting event occured during the IRC Swim Meet. At this meet, the VHS swimmers beat both Eveleth and Chisholm. Such a comebacK is very admirable. Although many swimmers strove to achieve outstanding times in their respective events, the team worked together as a whole. The swimming team is truly a team to be proud of. SWIMMING 71 — 1.

Tempers Flare The hockey team surprised many people by their astounding win against Southwest early in the season. But after that game, the team began to lose momentum and was placed relatively low in the IRC standings. The team met many defeats despite some brilliant attempts by goal tender Steve Podpeskar to stop the opponent’s puck. As a whole, the team was fairly young and inexperienced. Hopefully, in years to come, the VHS hockey team will again develop into an IRC contender. 72 HOCKEY 3 1. Steve Otis faces off. 2. Front Row: L Milbndge. B. Thayer. T. Norman. R. Spolar. M Muhich. S.

Region Champ Jody Olson ran the 880. and Bill Matdahl, second m the region, went down for cross-country. From the golf team, Richie Peterson advanced to state, as did Region Tennis Champ, Sheila Robinson, where she achieved a third place standing. The entire boy’s tennis team ranked fourth in state. And the curlers proudly received a third place trophy for Virginia. At the time of this publication, prospective swimmers for state included Dan Buvarp, Kevin McClelland, and Brian Johnson.

Membership is bestowed upon anyone having 25 or more NFL points. The classic BAKE SALE was the big fund raiser for the club's treasury. The money from these early morning sales at the mall provided money for the trip to the Guthrie Theater. Speech The nice thing about speech is that you practice at your convenience; no one pressures you to meet deadlines or cancel other activities to practice. You even have your choice of coaches; Mr. Turk, Mrs. Johnson, or Mr. Swen- son. Once you've decided on a coach, you pick out your own material and memorize or write it in a style suited to yourself. Speech team members feel more confident about delivering their speech if they know it’s their own creativity and freedom of expression that went into its making. This casual informality could by why 37 people went out for Speech this year! 82 ORGANIZATIONS Debate Throne difference in this year’s debate team as compared to other years was its youthful team. For the first time in the history of debate at VHS, the team had only one senior, Mark Dompierre. From October to Jan- uary they researched, quoted, filed cards and filled out flow sheets under the aid of Mr Swenson, debate coach. The young team’s inexperience didn’t prove to hinder their tournament per- formance; they had an even win — loss record. Debate at VHS is young compared to other schools in Northern Minnesota, so even a tied record is much to be proud of. 1. NFL: Front Row: S Pakala. S. Hedican. S Klein. D. Hestetune. K.

Vack ORGANIZATIONS 83 Letterwoman's Club As the female ascends in society, girl's athletics are on the rise. But unfortunately it seems as though the student body doesn't really care. Not many people show up to watch a girl's game. To combat this problem, the girl’s letterclub has come up with their own solution. After looking over the situation, the girls discovered that al- though they were in different sports, they all had one basic objective in mind; the betterment of girls athletics. So the club has gotten together and decided to support one another. As a result of this decision, it’s not uncom- mon to find volleyball players at a swimming meet, or swimmers at a bas- ketball game. In this mutual support effort, the teams are receiving from fellow girl athletics the much needed and appreciated spirit that was often lacking from their previous games. 1 Front Row: P.

A successful Homecoming was the result of hard work by club mem- bers. According to Mr. Turk, the advi- sor, it was one of the most tasteful and meaningful Homecoming weeks in years. But due to irregularly held club meetings and general student apathy, the club forgot its objective and lapsed into inaction. However, the group did succeed in raising funds by selling a weekly publication. Range Sports, dur- ing the fall season. 1. Front Row: R. Culbert. S. Norman. L Jenia, B. Polski. D. Dmcau. J. Le Mont.

ORGANIZATIONS 85 American Field Service The AFS club’s main objective this year was to try to make VHS's two foreign exchange students feel wel- come. Maria Rodas from Guatemala and Clement Chong from Malaysia en- riched our understanding of their na- tive countries through the annual AFS assembly. At the same time, Cathy Henderson, this year’s president of AFS, was able to share some of her experiences from her summer stay in South America. Through fund-raising events, including the old standby — the bake sale — members of the club helped finance the exchange students. And through the fun-filled AFS week- end, again hosted by Virginia, they were able to become closer to Maria and Clement, as well as to other ex- change students and AFS members from the area. 1 Front Row: C Henderson, K Boni, C.

That was the night the area was hit by a tornado and the siren rang in Virginia. This violent display of nature seemed to set the pace for the Rohian staff for the first part of the year. The book started out on shaky ground as the editors couldn't decide who had the best ideas. But |ust as the tornado finally settled down, so did the staff. The whole 1976 Rohian, otherwise known as the “Great Compromise”, was created by using a combination of co-editor ideas, cre- ative photography, and staff labor. Operating under the old cliche “variety is the spice of life , the staff incorporated new ways of doing old things into the 1976 Rohian. 1.

In the past, the club has been involved in several fund raising protects and var- ious other activities. Unfortunately, the girls haven't been able to accom- plish much this year. Whether this is due to lack of time or enthusiasm, no one really knows. However, the girls did succeed in sponsoring a fairly suc- cessful bake sale. The funds they raised were put back into the club treasury for future use, if Entre Nous has a future. Tri-Hi The Turnabout would not be possi- ble without Tri-Hi, sweettoothed people would not have the chance to eat great candy without Tri-Hi, and a little or- phan girl would be near starvation in the tungles of South Vietman without Tri-Hi. However, this year Tri-Hfs fos- ter child was taken from us because of the political takeover of South Viet- nam. The Communist North showed no concern for the welfare of its newly acquired youth and severed all rela- tions wth the U.S., including foster parents. Tri-Hi has been trying all year to obtain a new foster child. The theme of Turnabout, Dance With Me , was invented and developed and the gym decorated by the girls of Tri-Hi. ORGANIZATIONS Pom Pon Girls The past few years the VHS Pom- Pon girls have been noted more for their fantastic arguments than their half-time shows. This year the fighting was cut to a minimum. The new group of girls made it possible to do a few different things, such as. the 50’s rou- tine and the purchasing of new outfits. Half time wouldn’t be the same with- out the Pom-Pon girls and Majorettes. 1 Entre Nous: Front Row: A Makowski. I Sak). K Stowe. 2nd Row: C Nygard. K laulanen. I Knutson. 0. Hovi.

The cheer- leaders practice to perfection and get little praise in return. Some of them got very discouraged at all the criti- cism. Who wouldn't? One by one ac- tivities in our school are being elimi- nated due to lack of interest , and now cheerleading might end up the same way. Mr. Turk, advisor, has indi- cated that he might not take on the job next year. There are many cheerlead- ing rules that have to be strictly ad- hered to by the cheerleaders, more so than rules for any other organization. They run the risk of being kicked off the squad if these rules are broken. They are made to believe that cheer- leading is first and no other activity should interfere. With all of these pres- sures against them, VHS’s cheer- leaders are dedicated. And dedication often means excellence. 1. Mugsy Harrington and Barb Graham are caught in the rush to get to classes 2.

Who else would soak batons In gasoline, set a match to them and proceedto pertorm in front of hundreds of fans with flames blazing inches from their heads? They not only did this once, but twice. The lights dimmed, they skated onto the ice or marched onto the field and sparkled the darkness with brilliant flames as they did their routine. The majorettes practice fourth hour every day (almost every day) to perfect their routines and work with the band ot the tune of their favorite songs. 1. Front Row: K Fjelstad. D Backman. 2nd Row: P.

With the teach- er's slow-down the council didn't ac- complish as much as they wished to. But they were still kept busy with Homecoming, Bi-Centennial activities, the problem of vandalism in the school and the resource center — study hall situation. National Honor Society The National Honor Society is an organization to honor those students in the 11th and 12th grade for leader- ship, scholarship, service and charac- ter. The one duty they are required to perform is to plan the NHS assembly in the spring, which initiates new mem- bers into the club. NHS started out this year inactive, but they are in the pro- cess of making plans to activate NHS once again if interest is shown. Howev- er, if no interest is shown, NHS will once again be just an organization to honor some of the outstanding stu- dents of VHS. 94 ORGANIZATIONS A ; sc MfXM Student Council ACXr Senior Class Film Remember being a kid and dreaming about what high school would be like? Well, that is the theme used in the senior class film of 76. The staff is working hard to make sure that everybody from our class is included. Creativity is often stifled by a lack of funds, which is the mam problem. Under extreme pressure to avoid mak- ing mistakes and wasting precious film, they must be careful in their selection of shots. The film gets a little shorter with every mistake made. By Senior Class Banquet time, the film is sure to make more than 250 seniors a little sentimental. 1. Student Council: Front Row: K. Johnson. L. Halunen. J. Baumgartner. 2nd Row: K. Boni. T.

ORGANIZATIONS 95 Star Of The North The Star of the North is a student publication put out for the enjoyment and entertainment of the students, but like everything else, it suffered from student apathy. The monthly papers were sometimes late, and a few times almost nonexistent. Everyone wanted a paper when they came out, but a good, hard-working staff was a rarity. The professional quality of the papers that did come out was a worthy reflec- tion on the small staff with the big job. 1. Front Row: S. Stowe. I. lundstrom, D. Jarve. D. Higgins, L.

Future Homemakers Of America Attendence was poor at FHA meet- ings, averaging only five or six mem- bers at each meeting. Advisor Mrs. Musich says, in total agreement with FHA president, If more people would become aware of what can be done in FHA, maybe more would join. FHA is a worthwhile club open to boys and girls. The club did plan a sliding party at the golf course, which everyone enjoyed. A well-known speaker is ex- pected to come and talk to the club about the March of Dimes. And a few handicapped people had a more pleas- ant Valentine's Day because of a party planned by FHA members. The single fact that they brightened up some- one's day made it worthwhile, in spite of everything else. Cadeaux Cadeaux once again has passed out its colorful shoeboxes to all English classes for the literary contributions of VHS students. They’re adding something new this year by incorporating art and photog- raphy along with the usual literary works to make Cadeaux better than ever. The Cadeaux staff is made up of entirely new personnel this year due to the graduation of new members, but they are capable of bringing culture to the halls of VHS. All they need is a little support from the student body to cre- ate a masterpiece in literature. 1. FHA Left To Right: P Hansen, S. Pernu, T. Owens. C. Oakman, S. Horton. Mrs. Musich. N.

Instrumental Music The band this year improved dra- matically as Virginia welcomed their new director, Mr. Vukmanich. Practic- ing every day during fourth hour, the band is always ready to march in the parades and play for school events. Most people don’t even know Virgin- ia has an orchestra, despite their fan- tastic accomplishments. The orchestra has a four-star rating, was the first to perform at the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and participates in the U. M. D. Orchestra and Title III Project. They are also involved in church groups, wed- dings and senior citizens concerts. 1. Jane Lawler gets her violin ready. 2. Stage Band: Front Row: D. Annear, $. Krebs- bach. L Hansen. D. Paukner. C.

They accomplish this through perfection in performence. All of the choir’s music is chosen from a list of Minnesota approved contest music. A Capella competes in the regional contest and gives three major concerts with the mixed choir; the Winter, Pops, and Spring concerts. Choir members sell fruit, hold a bingo and have a radiothon as fund raisers for their trips and their record made in the spring. This year they will perform at different colleges throughout the Minne- apolis area. 1. A Capela Choir: Front Row: K. Fleming. L. Staudahar. S. Gentilim. M Sacchetti. H. Skarp. S. Greene. B. Hurd. D.

It’s a year’s worth of daily sweat and headaches all wrapped up in a neat little book. When one editor leans toward conservatism and the other editor leans towards liberalism, there’s bound to be trouble. We’d keep score of how many times we each got our own way. The book in itself was a delight to put together, but it was those my idea is better” conflicts that held us up. The final outcome is a combination of traditional yearbook methods with a sprinkling of uniqueness. We raised the price this year, but have the attitude of the lady on the haircolor commercial who says “It costs a little more, but I deserve the best”. Sound a bit conceit- ed? We feel we've earned the right to be. CO-EDITORS: LINDA BISLOW SCOn BRUNFELT EDITORS PAGE 167 General Index Senior Index ABLEMAN, DEBBIE - 101. 124. 17 ACHIN. TERRY - 101. 124. 55. 164 AHO.
