Spencer High School - Rocket Yearbook (Spencer, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1975 volume:

A Friend Some people know the way to make each day seem more worthwhile, They seem to take the sunshine and wear it in their smile, They’re kind and understanding, loving and sincere, Ready with a compliment or a friendly word of cheer. They give you with generosity that never seems to end— They know the lovely secret of how to be a friend. Karen Raun Rocket 1975 Published by the Rocket Staff of Spencer High School Spencer, Wisconsin 54479 Volume XX Remember that terrible day, Aug- ust 21, 1974? The first day of school. Some of us came reluctantly, others with eager anticipation to meet new faces, ideas, and challenges. Only each of us knows whether we succee- ded in accomplishing these things or not. This book cannot possibly retell all the memories and friends we re- member as belonging to this year, but we have attempted to capture that certain personality which each passing year leaves behind. 429 kids each have their own memories, but perhaps one day you'll open this book up and suddenly . . . you remember the tijne you had to dissect frogs for the first time, the day the lights went out and everyone was really in the dark. Or the time everyone danced to '50 s music in the hall- ways. Perhaps these are not the spe- cific things you remember, but your memories; they will come alive. 2 Student Life..............4 Seniors..................17 Underclassmen............26 Organizations............37 Sports...................61 Junior High..............93 Advertising.............100 Friends Together— Like Summer in The Heart A Friend Is One Who Pats You on the Back 9 Unseen Guidance The Board of Education consisted of five concerned people from the community who set up the rules and regu- lations under which the school was guided.

Dutiful service was performed with outstanding results by all of Spencer High School's custodians, cooks, and bus drivers. Keeping nearly half of the high school students nour- ished was the job of seven cooks. They started preparing each day’s meals early in the morning before the start of the school day and were kept busy until well after lunch. The custodians, assisted by four students, were kept busy from early morning until night with the upkeep of the building. Their tasks included sweeping and repairing, with the goal of keeping the school looking pleasant to anyone who entered the building. Taking several hours out of the day to transport many of the students to and from school were the bus drivers, headed by Rue Burnett. 16 SENIORS i t r «r ; .■• = ijA; TI li, , W1 - ;-:0 f,$r HW 2m w' . .« : 5S� . lV r, A fcV • tyllPj wffeiai •;, f H ‘I A 1 � lvM- f • s : .f ■••, 'I v ) lit J • [' .« ’ •fev':.r. ) ; iTa, K ; sr awv A ■ a ', � V , t'i TopLeft--David Ammons, Dale Aumann, Linda Beidel, Jane Beyreis, Patricia Boe, Bernice Butler, Nancy Buse, Carol Carlson.

They worked hard for two years, sold candles and cheese, put on chili suppers, had hot dog sales--and finally the date was set for the trip. They were to leave on April 2 and return April 5 to have four fun-filled days in fabulous New York City. While there, they toured the United Nations Building, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. Most of die tours were taken on a bus through several sections of Manhattan Island. Although the weather did not favor them, everyone enjoyed the trip thoroughly and gained much experience from it. 25 UNDERCLASSMEN « A T. . 4' V • . y y I r if t nh • i + pH I i S F ► WfJ V, V 4 ' • I |«W .C� MX, 4 iSI ' W. w 4 I lV 5.V u, uV TO tfi Vi it 19a t WrM. v.

The paper people cover all the school activities. Cooperation is a big word to the people on the paper staff. The first step in putting out the paper is to write the articles. After the articles are in, they must be typed and headlines made up for each story. In addition to this, photographs, fillers, and artwork add a little spice to the paper.

This was the theme of the newly formed camera club. The Photo Club came into being under the supervi- sion of Mr. Sladky. Some of the tasks these members un- dertook were taking pictures, developing film, and print- ing negatives for both the annual and newspaper. The main objective of this club was to capture the events and life at Spencer High. Above--ROW 1: David Gallion, Earl Pickett, Mark Cook, Mike Foth, Unsie Zuege.

The Mighty Pen The journalists of Spencer High received the recog- nition they deserved at the annual Quill and Scroll Ban- quet. Bob Kerksieck, a graduate of SHS, and former edi- tor of a college newspaper, was the guest speaker. New members of the honorary Quill and Scroll Soci- ety included; Sue Burnett, Rhonda Krohn, Ray Diers, Pat Boe, Deb Jicinsky, Deb Sawyer, Nancy Nall, Deon Wich- man, Sue Wingert, Marie Kommer, Lori Zinsli, and Ellen Meacham. Mrs. Olson and Mr. Schwantes announced the editors for the 1975-76 annual and newspaper. The banquet closed with hopes that die new editors and their staffs will keep the reputation that the past journalists have had. Top Left—A rose among thorns.

Xmas Joy Is Spread At Sunburst Homes It was a busy year for the people in the Student Gov- ernment. They sponsored dances, worked hard during Homecoming, and donated money for a fire hose at the Sunburst Homes in Neillsville. In addition, they tried throughout the year to narrow the communication gap be- tween the administration and students.

Their tasks ranged from working behind the desk and shelving books to putting up bulletin boards and reparing books.

Throughout the year they sponsored activities with the theme, ’’Helping Others by Helping Ourselves, ” in mind. Some of these activities included record hops after games, a Christmas Tea for the entire faculty and student body, a tobogganing trip to Perkinstown, and the annual style show. In addition, the FHA hosted the District 4 Fall Rally. The highlight of the yearly activities was the end- of-the-year trip to Minneapolis. Top Left--Another film and more enemies.

Anyone in agricultural classes from the age of 14 to 21 years old may join. The 59 members took part in several activities, such as, creed contests, animal judging, and assessment of mechanics. Those members who excelled in these various activities were honored at the FFA Banquet in the spring.

This year two new categories were added, and the rules were changed a bit to allow more students to advance to the contests. Fifteen students advanced to the Stevens Point Dis- trict contest. From there, high hopes for an A” at state were the goals for Marie Kommer, Unsie Zuege, Cindy Seehafer, and Janet Jonett, who received A's at Stevens Point. Marie Kommer brought home a gold medal for re- ceiving an A at state on her speech, Mushy Pulp. To Begin Top Left--PLAY ACTING, TOP: Joh Wingert, Ken Schulz. CENTER: Deb Sawyer.

People who want to have fun and are out for an adventure in life. During the fall, the Drama Club presents four 1-act plays and again in the spring, a 3-act play. These pro- ductions give the members of this organization an oppor- tunity to show that they have talents other than those revealed scholastically. Not only acting is involved; but one can learn the basic techniques of putting on a play, which could in- clude anything from applying makeup on someone else to changing a room arrangement in a matter of minutes. Ask anyone on the light crew if he is still afraid of heights! What kind of people are in the Drama Club? Those who want a challenge! Top Left--Yes, Deon, an actress must wear makeup. Top Right—Besides acting, the talent of repairing costumes is also an essential asset.

Goodnight Caroline concerned a softhearted burglar who was persuaded to give, rather than to steal. Cast members included Deon Wichman, Allen Jicinsky, Nils Johnson, and Marie Kommer, Student director was Susan Wingert. Street of Good Friends involved three spinster teachers who managed to get themselves arrested for a most unusual crime while traveling through Europe. Cast as the teachers were Cindy Seehafer, Julie Johnson, and Pat Mueller. Student director was Lori Hendricksen. Not Enough Rope, a farce, asked the question, Would you ever be so lonely that you would attempt suicide? The play centered around a very forlorn girl, a dying old lady, and an unconcerned young man. Cast members were Sharon Jensen, Sheri Felten, and Spence Graves. Student director was Deb Jicinsky. How close are the feelings of hate? The Boor pre- sented two angry people whose hatred for each other sud- denly bloomed into love. The cast included Phyllis Gau- ger and David Ammons, two lovers; John Wingert, Phil Kerksieck, and Jesse Nowak. Student director was Sue Jonett. Top Right--Can't you let an old woman rest in peace?

Bottom Right— Did you hear about . . . ? 54 “Inherit the Wind” Focuses on Right to Think Under the direction of Esther Rannow, Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, was presen- ted April 18, 19, and 20 with a full house every night. Although some members of the audience may not have fully understood the play, the majority enjoyed it and also got much out of the play. The main idea put across was that each man has the right to think as he pleases. Bertram Cates, a school teacher, was put on trial for teaching Dar- win's ORIGIN OF SPECIES to his sophomore science class. Townspeople were upset with this and were able to put Cates on trial for deliberately breaking the law. Henry Drummond, a supposedly Godless man and atheist, was Cates' attorney. Matthew Harrison Brady, a well-liked man and famous orator, as the prosecuting attorney was stumped by Mr. Drummond and losing public support, was destroyed both mentally and physically. This cast of 38, consisting of many new actors, took on a big task. Some of the main characters took on parts which had previously been taken on by upperclassmen. Along with the cast and crew, Florence Knauf heading makeup, Geraldine Smith overseeing lighting and slides, and of course Esther Rannow directing, none of this would have been possible and been able to be presented to the wonderful audiences without them.

This organization contributes to the support of the football and basketball teams by playing pep music and by presenting a half time show at Homecoming. During the summer they march in parades. Three concerts were presented by the band this year, which included classical and modern pop music. An added feature to the year’s activities was the two exchange con- certs with Granton and Pitts ville. Ending the year, these musicians performed at Awards Day and graduation. The person in charge of this group is Don Fosberg, Band Director. Middle Right--The band trying to perform its best at the Pops Concert.

Many times the team played outstanding football only to fall just short of the ultimate goal of victory. A sense of satisfaction was finally achieved as the Rockets defeated a traditionally tough Abbotsford, 35 to 12, to end the season with a re- cord of 4 wins, 5 losses. For their outstanding individual efforts, Ron Mellen- thin was picked as an All-Conference 1st team def. half- back; on honorable mention, Tom Day and Lester Ecke as tackles, and Tim Keyes as offensive end. Ron Mellenthin, who already holds 2 Conference records, broke another re- cord punting the ball an average of 35.7 yards. Seniors who will be missed next year are Ron Mellen- thin, Tim Keyes, Lester Ecke, Ken Schulz, David Amm- ons, and Mark Berrier.

Middle Right--Concentration and consternation. Sweat and Tears Although this year’s basketball season was not in the victory columns, enthusiasm and hard work were all dis- played. Under the coaching of Bob Pilz and Steve Christ- man, the Varsity squad, led by 7 seniors, ended its season with a 3-15 record. Even though this is not a very impres- sive record, the season was filled with excitement as Spencer lost some heartbreakers by margins of 1, 2, and 3 points. The Junior Varsity also had a disappointing season. Their record of 2-16 showed only the numbers, not the de- termination and sweat used to play their tough opponents. 65 The 1974-75 wrestling season was a disappointing one. Because the team was a young and inexperienced one, only Randy Klimmer, a senior, placed in the Conference this year, taking a 4th. He also won the coveted Take- down Trophy with 45 takedowns for the season, and he won Most Valuable Player. Dave Ammons finished the season with the best winning percentage of 13 wins and 2 losses. He also was the winner of the Greenwood Invitational at 185 lbs. Tim Bender received the TAGUBA (Tough Ag- gressive Guy Uninhibited By Adversity) award. Although this season was uneventful with a record of 4 wins and 10 losses, next year's team has a promising season ahead of them. Top Right--The longest seconds of the match.

Enthusiasm Is a Thrill That Sways Others in Your Voice A cheerleader's purpose is to promote good sportsman- ship and boost the team and fans' spirit whether they are winning or losing. This responsibility was carried out faith- fully by the three squads which represented the school for football, basketball, and wrestling. All of these squads really put it together with new stunts and dances learned at a cheerleading clinic held in the fall by the UW Eau Claire cheerleaders. In addition to cheering on the team at the games or matches, they make posters, organize pep rallies, and endure long practices to perfect their routines.

It takes but one word to describe the 1974 season of the girls' volleyball team—FANTASTIC. First of all, with 40 girls out, it was possible to have three teams. The Varsity squad ended with a 6-3 record, after beating a team that had not been beaten in two years, and finished 3rd in the conference. Teh Junior Varsity squad edned with an 8-1 record, finishing 2nd in the conference; and the Freshman squad was credited with a year's experience. This year was also a first for Parents’ Night at which all players, along with their parents, were honored; and special recognition was given to the six seniors. The cry of ON TO STATE followed a victory at the Spencer Regional and the Marathon Sectional; and what a way to end a season--to know that they were 1 out of 16 schools represented at the state level when 363 scho- ols started at the regional level.

The Varsity Basketball Squad had a 2-7 record, and the Junior Varsity ended their season with a record of 6-3.

Much recognition must go to Coach Fenske. She has been with die track members, at the most, three years, so she must have put her ideas across well or the girls would not have worked as a team. Placing 4th at Conference, 3rd at Regionals, and 2nd at Sectionals, shows there must have been teamwork. Holly Bohy was awarded the most valuable member. Top—-Coach Fenske's guidance advanced seven members to Sectionals and six continued on to State.

The S-Club consisted of about 40 members, and in order to be a member, a boy must have lettered in one of six sports in either the present or past years. Some activities of the S-Club this past year consisted of the annual lettermen-faculty basketball game, and selling concessions during the wrestling and basketball season. To climax the S-Club's activities for 1975, a very successful athletic banquet was held on May 13. The OGA (Organization of Girls' Athletics) is only two years old. Every year the group gets bigger and better! This year there were 28 active and 2 inactive members—some from the past and others newly joined.

Wednesday's turnout was fantastic as a ma- jority of the students dressed in '50's style clothing and played their respective roles. Turnabout Day took place on Thursday, with the pep rally following that night. The bonfire was a brilliant spirit inducer, but the Rockets still could not pull off a victory over the Raiders. On Friday Red-White Day demonstrated school spirit, and in the af- ternoon the Pep Club decorated the gym for the night's festivities.
