The year- book, like People , will look at all kinds of stu- dents and their activities. Students should be proud of their school, what it stands for, and what they as a student body stand for. School was never easy, either you couldn't stand the students around you or the teacher who taught you. There were many conflicts between students that were not that easy to resolve. Many of the disagreements in nigh school will never be solved, but that's high school. St. X is just like any other high school and didn't get away from all this, so much for the nega- tive side of things. To be a student you real- ly have to stand out in a crowd, have your own ideas and let them be known. When ever St. X students went anywhere they always left a mark of some king. It may not al- ways have been what we wanted them to remember but they did remember. I can remember when I went to my last CYO con- vention. ft was my Senior year. Richard Schiele was the diocesan treasurer; we let everyone there know how proud we were of him by clapping and yelling ev- ery time he was to do something. Girls sports is becoming more and more popular at St. X. Volleyball went all the way to sub-state which was a big surprise to quite a few people. The first pioneers of girls basketball graduated this year. Thev fed the first four years of girls basketball to the best winning season. This is not all that went on during the year, but if you flip through the you can see a few of the things that went on during the year. 3 It almost seems as if Sister Eucharista has been in charge of the library since before it was built. That estimate is a little off but she did start work at St. X. when the Senior class was two years old. Sister Eucharista is a good arguement against mandatory retirement at 65. She is energetic and efficient — she even has a sense of humor. One day a student was wandering in the library looking for nothing . She remarked, I hope you find it. During the Christmas season this year Senior, Tina Blazer, had an inter- esting job. At Gibson's, where she was a clerk, she was one of Santa's Help- ers . Tina is a very vocal advocate of Women's Lib; maybe next year she'll get a promotion and become Santa Claus. I Being a small school in an army town has advan- tages that many other schools don't have. One is the wide variety of back- grounds of the students. Many are military depen- dents and have lived all over the U.S. and in coun- tries all over the world, bringing with them an un- derstanding of other people and cultures to share with their new friends. Students at St. X. feel that this understanding of others will help them to forget prejudices so that everyone will be able to work together as friends. During the Christmas va- cation , in addition to vis- iting relatives and baking cookies, Kem Perkins be- came Mrs. Frank Jones. She seemed to have ad- justed easily to her rather abrupt change in marital status. But there were some unforeseen problems. For instance: Now, who writes her tardy excuses and smoking permits? (For the record — her husband) When asked if married life was what she expect- ed, she half-seriously re- plied, Yeah, housework and cleaning. Pam Robinett and Vanessa Herron have been taking piano lessons from Sister Salome for 10 and 8 years, respectively. In late April they gave a sen- ior recital. Playing piano is a solitary pastime; there are no cheering crowds, and whoever heard of a pi- ano pep rally? But like a sport, it involves hours of hard work and practice. Playing the Appassion- ata or Soiree de Vienne is as great an ac- complishment as rushing 1,000 yards. In the past, marrying a highschool age wasn't un- heard of, but staying in school afterwards was. Just last year no married students were enrolled at St. X.; this year there are two. After her August 13 wedding in Savage, MN, Kathy enrolled at St. X. as Mrs. Johnson . How- ever, she wanted to be Kathv and not though of as different. In Minnesota getting married at seven- teen was considered weird and she thought that people in Kansas would feel the same. On the contrary, students ac- cepted her without reserva- tion. Keeping a job, going to school, and making her own home never seemed to be too tough to handle. My marriage with Bruce is what I expected it to be , she said. I miss my family who still live in Minnesota, but I don't miss living at home. A Guide To The Up And Coming Every class is scared to death when it first enters the hallowed halls of high school - except the 1978 freshman class. In fact, they sometimes acted more like seniors than the seniors. They were active in FHA and Pep Club, and handled po- sitions of responsibility well. Freshman were a large part of the football, volleyball, basketball and track teams. They were very self con- fident. One girl made a habit of cutting in front of seniors in the lunch line (an appalling breach in high school protocol). An- other instructed a three- year veteran of the basket- ball team in the fine art of free throw shooting. Despite their outward maturity in many ways they were just ordinary 14 year olds. They developed crushes on upperclassman. They ran in the halls, talked too loudly and had trouble finding their lock- ers. Some had trouble staying awake in class after 6:00 (A.M.) basket- ball practice. And one boy defined a freshman as a person who comes from puny to big. Yvonne Quinton called freshmen the lower half of the sen- iors. Freshman officers are (Top) Jeanette Erichsen, (Right) Jolita Martinez, (Left) Jeff Keating, (Not pictured) Ron Shanley 6 Top left-The freshman class seemed to have plen- ty of time just to STAND AROUND and mingle.

We'd be better if we'd work to- gether . If it's goin' in the yearbook, I ain't savin' . We're alright The best yet. dollars selling magazines. They were at varying stages of maturity. Some were still prone to giggling fits in the middle of tne Pythagorian Theorem and some were studying hard in order to graduate in their junior year. Overall they showed a lot of promise for °n The iwowns uPward The sophomore's opin- ions on the state of their class were diverse, to say the least. But generally they didn't show much faith in their abilities. And a few didn't show much love for their classmates. The contrast among the stu- dents in their class was interesting because several appeared to be efficient and enthusiastic. Many members of the sophomore class were very involved in school clubs and activities — in fact, they were so involved that tney were la- beled goody -goodies by some of the other students. The class of 1980 had several money-making pro- jects in preparation for next year's prom. In early November they earned 300 the future. A lot of them were active in school but they escaped notice. Who knows, maybe still waters run deep. Marjorie Kinser writes a few encouraging French words.

As freshmen, they brought 35 new faces to the high school. They were the first spirited fresnman. The class, under Greg, brought in $190 with a movie bake sale. Headed by Anita, the sophomore year went as well. Another successful movie magazine drive brought the treasury to $730. Then came the year of leadership (Jr.) in which they sold candles with a great profit of $387.75. The class was ready to give an outstanding prom. In sports many high hon- ors and honorable mentions were received by those teen-age sports fanatics. The stuco members for the junior class were Anita Lictinhan-class pres., Linda Repinic-pep club pres., Lori Langvardt- class rep. They worked hard during the year; even through lunch period they stayed at work while gob- bling down their food. Miss Satterlee states, The class is onry, but it can brag of having some of the most intellegent people in the school. Coach Bortnick considers the ju- niors a class full of great athletic and scholastic po- tential. 1st row: Tony Asbury, Alex Baca. 2nd row: Greg Bantugan, Sophie Brawner, Suzanne Brawner, Diane Briestensky. 3rd row: Susan Gold, Patty Hall, Diane Hecker, Judy Keating. The junior class has al- ways been a large group (35). Yet we all know that means more fun, more bad jokes to laugh at, and more dates; so, you can believe being the big class makes them SPECIAL. 10 Left: Andy Lopez studing or was he just faking us out.

Most of this year's seniors were levelheaded and mature — not quite the type to be driven to suicide by a bas- ketball loss. A few were very in- volved in school affairs; they were present at every game, rally, meeting, donut sale, cake raffle and car wash. Many others felt that their jobs and out-of- school social lives were more important. They sometimes spent as little as three hours a day in school and, as one senior half-seriously said, This world ain't nothing without money; and you can't make money playing basket- ball.' At first this con- flict of interests caused some hard feelings, but in time they disappeared. Because of snort school days, jobs, and a general- ly mature outlook, most of tne seniors were ready and even impatient to face the outside world. However, no matter how we 11-pre- pared for graduation the class of '78 professed to be, they were still a lit- tle sad at leaving. As Danny McGuire put it You can't just forget twelve years of being together. The class of '78 always had a bad reputation. But 12 in the 8th grade they reached an all time low (or high, depending on one's point of view). They liter- ally ran over a teacner on the way to gym, arranged for a trash can to fall on the principal's head, and were skilled in crawling out of study hall unnoticed by the teacher. But by Senior year they were more interested in graduation than in adding to their tarnished record.

Decisions and clerical work were administered with care and concern: firmness without dictat- ing, crises to confront, sometimes disagreement with students, but sound reasons backed with ac- tions. Controlled, tem- pered, and constructive — this is authority and it kept St. Xaviers in the lead, in the know, among the best. The administration represents three eras of religious back- ground headed by Monsignor Keogan, enforced by Sr. Fred- erick, and rephrased in modern lingo by Fr. Frank. The altar reflects the old, while father offers the new. As new secretary, Sr. Margaret has learned her job quickly. Sr. Euchar- ista lends a helping hand in the library.

Nancy Ptacek Along with discussing the pros and cons of free education and how it works, the Sophomore class also learned more about their religion by hearing what people of oth- er religions believe. Rob Sanders, the Sophomore religion teacher, also taught them the different roles of life that people live. Mrs. Malonoy taught the Freshman religion class about the history of the church and the powers that it has. One of the things they learned about was the Vatican councils. They also had Father Frank talk to them about marriage, di- vorce, and annulments.

Rob Sanders-laughing again. 28 Religion, an important part in one's life, is not just focused on life's prob- lems but also on scriptural study. Fr. Frank taught both Jr. and Sr. classes the history of the Catholic church, the people behind it, and the importance of mass. Later in the Spring Fr. Frank will help prepare the students for a home mass. Clockwise far right: Who says religion isn't in- teresting?

Mr. Bortnick was a first year teacher and coach. World His- tory, American History and American Government were the classes which he administered to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Two students chose to study independently which consisted of coming to Mr. Bortnick once or twice a week to turn in their work and get more to do. More research work was involved in studying independently than in the regular classes; however, homework wasn't a major topic of discussion and worry in any of his classes. Though world history was predominantly for sophomores, American history for juniors, and American government for seniors, it wasn't the rule. Some students spent more than a single hour in history or gov- ernment classes each aay for their individual reasons. Learninq for tomorrow could have been what Mr. Bort- nick was aiming at as he taught. He set up projects for the students that would be similar to those asked for by a college professor and allowed the use of his class time for people to speak to the seniors about college. Bortnick was also willing to lend his hand to those who needed it in getting ready for college. When asked about his classes he said that besides a few hard people he liked teaching. I enjoy first year teaching. It's as much or more than what I thought it would be; it's just a good time. Most of his stu- dents agreed. At top — Juniors are required to take American History. At right — Seniors: Kim D. Dianea N., Karen G. an Yvonne Z. present their report . on the Middle East Conflict. Through the 31 Since her return to St.X, Mrs. Wheeler kept busy teaching Home Economics classes. In LOYO she taught students career and family planning, personal- ity development, and bud- geting. Bachelor Living instructed male students how to survive on their own by learning how to cook and use a sewing machine. Home Ec. I and II classes learned the basics of cook- ing and sewing. Home Ec. was a well-liked course not just for the goodies, but for a fun way of learn- ing skills. Clockwise from below left: Alex B. proves that guys can sew just as well as girls, as Mrs. Wheeler checks his work. Dan M., Cheryl T., and Camice T.: Are they cook- ing, cleaning, or burning? Ralph S., Diane B., Patty H., Robert T., Steve S., Curtis V., Eileen U., and Jim R. pay attention to the LOYO teacher, but one wonders what Linda R. and Mike T. are thinking about. 32 Mrs. Ptacek, who was new to St. Xaviers and well-liked by the students, taught both boys' and girls' P.E. and health classes. The girls studied aerobic dancing, a modern style of exercise to music, while the boys were in weight training. They all learned rules and regulations of Ropular team sports. In lealth, they studied such things as emotions, body functions and structures, and about drug and alcohol abuse. Clockwise from top left: Mary B. in Health class the X on her hand proves why.

S., but not to St. X, taught the math classes, beginning with General Math. The 8 stu- dents worked at their own rate on an independent study format. Algebra I was a typically large class, mostly composed of lively freshmen. Normally Geometry is the next class in line; however it was not taught this year. Instead, two classes of Algebra II were set up to accommo- date the sophomores, who were advised to take it in- stead of Geometry. Clockwise from above: Jim Roberts works hard on Business Math. As Alge- bra I students await the bell for class to being, Greg Robinett asks for last-minute help on the as- signment for the day. Kelly Dietrich, Tina Trygg, and Stephanie Pollock giggle, as usual, while they com- pare answers. 34 But because of the schedule, the 7th hour class had to share the room with people in study hall. Juniors who didn't take Al- gebra II, had the option of taking Business Math taught by Sister Frederic. In Advanced Math, 5 Sen- iors who plan a career in the technical or engineer- ing fields covered topics needed to prepare for Cal- culus. Counterclockwise from above: 1.

In Their Own 36 The Freshmen and Soph- omore classes had an in- teresting year with Mrs. Eikholt, who was new at St. Xaviers, as their Eng- lish teacher. The students learned more about the us- age of the English lan- guage and expanded their imaginations by writing stories and reading litera- ture. They were kept busy by preparing for their Em- poria tests. Clockwise from top: The freshmen paying attention — for the moment. Sopho- more's working on modern literature.

One of the least desirea- ble classes for a student of any grade is English, how- ever once in the class you know your in for a learning experience. Sister Ann, one of the most demanding teachers, prepares the Senior class for their Freshman English courses in college. The Juniors meanwhile make their wav through their first year of in-depth Literature and grammatical usage includ- ing verbals and the eight parts of speech. Starting the second semester, Sis- ter Ann is kept busy pre- paring students for the Em- poria State Scholarship tests. Besides her English III and IV classes she also teaches Oral Interpretation in which she hopes all her students will place first in the League Speech Con- test.

Mrs. Moloney in- structed in weaving, em- broidery, rug-making and caligraphy. She also taught traditional subjects like watercolor and char- coal sketching. The St. Xavier's art de- partment had a successful year. In an art contest at Mar- ymount College, St. Xavi- er had as many entries dis- played as some of the 4-A nign schools. For his watercolor enti- tled Haiku , Bill Reed won fifteen dollars worth of art supplies. Lisa Griffin Pat Beavers won five dollar awards. Jerry Breault received an honor- able mention.

The beginning of the year was devoted to learning new songs for the November Music Festival held at K-State. The en- tire class participated along with other schools in the league. Rob Sanders taught band for grades 4-12. The ju- nior and senior members played at the home basket- ball games. David B. Robert T. pause for the camera. Mixed Chorus: Curtis V., David B., Robert T., Ricky T., Susan G., Chris M., Patty H., Carla S., Sandy T., Diane H., Jim R., Darla A., Rhonda P., Regina S., Judy K., Diane B., Katy M., Yvonne Q., Jolita M., Ei- leen U., Cindy R., Lori L., Rob S., Ricky T. takes a break from singing. Mr. Sanders prepares the chorus to sing at Mass. Anne S. Debbie L. practice with Jr. Hi. stu- 0 dents. Business Mrs. Eikenberry, a pleasant addition to the faculty, taught Typing I, Clerical Practice, General Business, and Accounting. In Typing I, the students become acquainted with typewriter keyboard and basic typing techniques. Students in Clerical Prac- tice learned human rela- tions in the office and more advanced office skills in- volving typing and filing. Economics and consumer- ism were two of the topics that the General Business class studied from their new books. The seniors in Accounting went through what is called an Ac- counting Cycle. With a good understanding of these courses, a student would be prepared to work in an office or to continue his education in the Busi- ness field. Clockwise, top left: Some of the accounting class, Pam R., Tina B., Karen G., Shiela K., Lisa G., and Lisa B., work dili- gently while Tammy C. poses pretty for the cam- era.

Science is as diverse as the world we live in today. To teach such a broad field it requires a good under- standing of each area as well as the ability to im- part that knowledge to the students. The students' job is just as difficult: it involves lab work, field trips, listening, and hur- riedly taking notes. Of Learning This year's freshmen, not unlike the ones before them, have had to suffer through the first year of science. Biology turned out to be more difficult that some sophomores expect- ed. Then there were the usual difficult chemistry and physics classes. But somehow the juniors and seniors managed to get through them. 42 Clockwise from left: Mr. Deikmann shows signs of second childhood, playing with his slinky.

At the end of last year we adopted a percent- age system. After first quarter grade cards came out, it was evident that few people wanted the con- duct grade as half the re- quirements for an academic honor roll, so it was dropped. Free lunch hours for seniors were also en- acted. Late 2nd and 3rd quar- ters proved to be rough and rocky going for Stu-Co. They planned to have meetings once every 2 weeks, but for a seemingly endless stream of reasons there was nearly a 2 month gap between meetings. The meeting they did have at that time was ineffective and lacked the needed ac- tivity from individuals and TOP: The StuCo officers for the 1977-78 year were (1st row lt.-rt.) Ka- ren Gustafson — Treasur- er, Vanessa Herron — Secretary, (2nd row lt.- rt.) Jerry Breault — Vice President and Richard Schiele — President. (3rd row lt.-rt.) StuCo spon- sors were Sr. Fredric and Mrs. Moloney. CENTER: President Rich- ard Schiele and Secretary Vanessa Herron head this StuCo meeting. BOTTOM: Robbie Anthony directs the attention of Jerry Breault and Grant Collins to the work at hand. committees. But once again StuCo pulled itself together and got the ball rolling. T-shirts were sold by StuCo members in early March to raise money for the Mar. 18 dance they sponsored. Popcorn pack- ets were sold by the entire student body as a StuCo project to raise money for either a Student lounge or equipment for the gym. They also hoped to boost enthusiasm in the student body and get some compe- tition going between classes. The sophomore class, not satisfied with one class president, had to have three. Grant Collins was the first class presi- dent, but because of lack of interest in the job and complaints from class- mates, he resigned. After a special election, co- presidents Stephanie Pol- lock and Patty Eastham were chosen to cope with the sophomore class. The sophomore class was not the only one with officer trouble. The senior class lost president Phil Boiler due to a knee injury and treasurer Julie Hecker to a change of address. The class chose to keep the two remaining officers Dianea Niemczyk, vice- president and Kim Deppish secretary, at the helm of the class. The freshman class lost treasurer Ron Shanley, who moved, but elected Yvonne Quinton to the office. Vandalism was wide- spread during League Tournaments held at St. X. Damages were suffered due to such incidents as: pipes broken and walls written on in locker rooms, tires flattened and things torn off several school buses while the playground equipment here at St. X was abused. Many felt that individual conduct was re- sponsible tor these acts. The culprits vanished but the damages remain. If you see a golden tawny mane or a short bouncy wedge, you know it can't be Karen Gustafson. Karen who has long, thick, al- most straight brown hair, has not cut it in almost eight years. Her hair, which is almost long enough for her to sit on, has strands of hair from brown to blonde and black to red in color. So if you see a Farrah Fawcett-Ma- jor or a Dorothy Hamill cut, you know it isn't the Gus. The Athletic Committee is to be recognized and congratulated on the fine work done this year through their united efforts. They do many things for us here at St. X. They run the concession stand at our athletic games. The money they earn is in turn used to purchase new equipment for the school. During tourna- ments held here at St. X, they were helping with tickets, concessions and donations. All are avid supporters of the St. X Rams and we are proud of and beholden to them. A special thank-you goes to Mr. Mrs. Jack Lang- vardt, Mrs. Jackie Hecker Mrs. Elaine Becker. 45 Front row: Lisa Griffin, Vanessa Herron, Judy Keating.

It started out as a simple idea: PEOPLE magazine is similar to a yearbook in many ways — it's mostly in black and white, it's entertaining and it has an emphasis on people. But adapting the style of a na- tional magazine to a very local yearbook proved to be more difficult than the 1978 staff had imagined. The pictures had to be of good or at least uniform quality, and to avoid pub- lic outrage the cover had to feature more than one or two people. There was a civil war over whether to place the advertisements- between the sections or in a group at the back of the book. Late Pictures And Early Deadlines Plague Yearbook Staff Then there were the pho- tographers to contend with. In most journalistic circles photographers are consid- ered difficult to work with. The Xaverian's were no exceptions. The following is a sample conversation. (Richard Schiele is sitting in class reading a maga- zine; the deadline is three weeks away and about one fourth of the pages are completed.) Writer (W) — How are my pictures coming along? Photographer (P) — I don't know. W — Why aren't you tak- ing any? P — No film. W — Why don't you order some? P — We did. W - When? P — I don't know? W — Well, was it yes- terday ... a year ago? P — I don't know. Pam Robinett finishes up one of the few pages that met the first deadline. Rich Schiele, Tom Mika, and Grant Collins in the dark room for once.

FHA chapter was busiest during the ear- ly months of the school year. In October they held a Halloween party for pres- choolers. During Advent, FHA decorated a Christmas tree for the school and sold magazines. In early February, se- lected members attended the district FHA elections. Anne Schiele won second in the FHA HERO contest; their display entitled, You've Come A Long Way Baby, also won second place. The highlights of FHA Week (Feb. 13-17) were 50's Day and the presen- tation of a rose and a blan- ket to the first child born that week. Sunday Night Fun Whoever said that the president of the Catholic Youth Organization had to be a Catholic? Apparently no one, because Tammy Canaday wasn't. Even so, she led CYO to an active, productive year. It began with a beach Sand the obligatory car . Later, in the warm autumn days, CYO went on a hayrack ride and spent an afternoon picking up trash at Milford Lake. After attending the dis- trict convention in Novem- ber, CYO virtually went into hibernation. Possibly because the four officers were involved in several other activities. In the spring, CYO sold donuts and competed in the basketball and Dowling tournaments. Above: Mark D., Bob and Terri Wahle-Advisors; Tammy C.-Pres., Vanessa H.-Vice Pres., Lisa G.- Treas., Kim D.-Se.

Many people support our teams. 50 Elevates Pepclub Above Inner Conflict. Pepclub and cheerleaders showed considerable spirit in cheering for our teams. But they showed a different kind of spirit as they struggled through many be- qinning-of-the-year prob- lems. Trouble seemed to follow the group beginning with the major diversity of feelings on the uniforms. This was followed by lengthy discussions on the rights of Freshman mem- bers and the loss of an of- ficer. Deanna Ferguson had been elected treasurer and then her family moved. Zanna Brawner was elected to take her place. Anne Schiele was secretary; Anita Lichtenhan was Vice President and Linda Re- pinac was President. Footing the bill of Home- coming and making and carrying out the plans got the group back under con- trol and started them mov- ing.

We spent too much time learning the fun- damentals, and therefore lacked the time to fully de- velop them. said the first year coach. Our weakest points were 1.) No consistency with serves, 2) Not enough Rower behind spikes and 3) lot enough time to develop basic skills. However, some of the team's strong points were teamwork, and their ability . counterclockwise: Player readiness is demonstrated by Karen and Yvonne as they go up for a block.

The coach was pleased with the teams adaptability to the 4-2 of- fense, which was intro- duced halfway through the season. The Rams were also know by other teams for their outstanding de- fense. The girls greatest asset was that they never gave up and always wanted to improve. If they would have had one more ounce of confidence they could have made it to state Assistant coach Dianea Eikenberry agreed.

The cheering of the new following helped steer the team to victory in the re- gionals by beating Wake- field and the 1976 state runnerup, Luckey. They found themselves in the championship match where they lost to eventual state champion, Bennington, But only after we forced them into a tie-breaker said their coach. The male pep as they became known, consisted of the bass section of the student body, and they fol- lowed the team regularly throughout the season.

The season as a whole was a learning experience for everyone. The coaches learned what the girls were capable of, the girls learned what their coaches expected of them, and ev- eryone began saying, Bennington had better be careful, we just might be knocking on their door a year from now.

The team and coaches had a good season. It was tough on both the coaches and players. said Coach Bortnick. Be- ing a new coach, Jim Bort- nick had problems trying to get his program started, and the players found it a little difficult understand- ing the new style of coach- ing. However, the players made the adjustment and played extremely well. According to coach Bort- nick, they're a better team than what their record indi- cated. They had a few bad breaks and some bad calls which could have meant the difference between a 9-0 and the 6-3 record. We had some excellent effort from all the players. It's hard to single out any STIWUj iblltfO .sizwn, one player. said Bort- nick. Phil Boiler, Tom Mika, and Richard Schiele, our senior line- men were key people in our fine line play. Bobby Morse our senior tailback was a good run- ning and blocking back and team leader. The team lost Gene Bantugan early in the year which was a real blow to our offense. 57 The team's strong point was the defense, which was led by the linebacking crew of Pnil Boiler and Greg Bantugan. Pat Bea- vers and Richard Schiele contained our opponents. The middle attack force was soli.d with Tom Mika, Mike Wren, Bill Reed, and Ralph Schmedemann. The secondary was headed by Bobby Morse, Steve Stew- art, and Jim Reno, who all played fine ball for the Rams. Many fine efforts were churned out by John McGuire, Mike To- rnandi, and Ron Shanley.

Monday was We're Backing You Rams day and students wore their clothes backwards. Tues- day, crazy socks were worn signifying Sock it to 'em Rams. The We're the Best Overall' theme was carried through Wednesday by the students wearing overalls. On Stomp the Bombers day the Rams wore two differ- ent kinds of shoes. Friday morning, school Mass was followed by a Pep Rally. In the evening a homecom- ing supper for the cheer- leaders, football players and volleyball players was given by the Pep Club. A highlight of the even- ing was the annual deco- rating of the teachers and players houses by the cheerleaders. The players vengence was returning the favor with pleasure. Saturday night's halftime activities began with the Pep Club's SX forma- tion on the field. The Cheerleaders performed their routine to the theme song Keep It Cornin' Love.

Then at the beginning of the third quarter the Rams team rallied to come back and tie it 6-all. In the 4th quarter it started to drizzle and tensions rose at the fear of fumbling the ball. But St. X held onto it and drove down to pay dirt once more, making the score 13-6. The Rams defense held strong, and kept the Bombers to a scoreless 2nd half. Friday night's banquet, the house T.P.-ing, the dance and the week long activities concluded the memorable moments of Homecoming '77.

In 1978, the girls bas- ketball team exhibited many accomplishments for St. Xaviers. The girls beat Hope for the first tirm in St. X girls B-Ball his- tory. The Rams also achieved the ultimate by defeating every team in their division. However, it's taken a lot of hard work and dedication since the first girls' season 4 years ago to reach these goals. Each year the sea- son record improved — from a first year standing of 4-13 to this year's re- cord of 13-7. Throughout the year, the girls kept fighting and kept their cool even when the opponents got rough and the referees didn't do their job. In tournament action, the Junior Varsity finished in first place in the Luckey Invitational Tournament. The Varsity team took sec- ond in the Ike East Divi- sion and third overall in the league. Sophie Brawner was the only play- er who made all-tournament for St. Xaviers, but there was fine play from all the girls who participated in the tournament. Clockwise from top: Sophie Brawner snoots over Hope defense for an- other two points. Katy McGuire rips off the tip off in the St. X- White City B-team battle. Mr. Diekmann takes a glance at the surprising fi- nal score of the St. X.- Hope semi-final tournament game. 63 The 6:30 A.M. prac- tices, scrimmages against the boys teams, and tough competition proved to be hard but rewarding work for the twenty-two girls who made up the girls basket- ball teams. The varsity team placed 4th in the D.D.E. East and broke the scoring record when they beat Tescott for 7th place overall. All-League honors went to Juniors Anita Lichtenhan and Sophie Brawner, who helped to lead the team through regu- lar season play and two tournaments, adding two trophies to the trophy case. The teams often pleased the fans with their consis- tency in good play, proving that they were just as tough if not tougher than their opponents. One rea- son for this consistency may have been found in the leadership of four senior girls, Dianea Niemczyk, Yvonne Zukowfsky, Karen Gustafson, and Kim Dep- pish. These girls have played together through all four years of high school. Counterclockwise from top: Players watch in suspense as Sophie B. leaps for the tip.

Zanna B., Karen G., Sophie B., Diane N., Karen R., Anita L., and Yvonne Z. admire their league trophy. I feel as though basket- ball has made me more ma- ture, not just as a player, but as a person too, said Yvonne of her experience in basketball. The rest of the girls seemed to agree with that idea. I've learned to respect my coach and I feel like he re- spects me too, said Ka- ren Gustafson. The girls all said that although they didn't always get along they were close and felt like one big family. It was a lot of fun and it didn't last very long; it seems like it was all over as soon as it started. I'm going to miss it.'' 65 Left-Clockwise: 1.

Steve Stewart and Jim Reno with the di- rection of coaches Jim Bortnick and Dave Hop- kins. Although they held a 1-6 record part way through the season, they stormed back to capture a respective 7-9 standing, and a 2nd place trophy in the B-Team Inv. Tourney. Key rebounders were Steve Nemmers and Jeff Keating along with center Lloyd Parker. Grant Collins, out late due to illness, was an asset to the team with his unique rebounding ability. Top-Clockwise: 1. St. X's Rich Schiele (43) struggles to bring down a rebound in 1st round Reg. action against Ell-Saline. 2. Sr. center Pat Beavers (23) elevates for the jump. Rams cagers took 3rd in the semi-final League tournament consolation game Friday night. 3. South-paw Jim Reno takes on challenge of a right- hand lay-up. The team's first win of the season came against the St. George Trojans. They defeated them 46-34 in the second encounter of competition. Another loss and on into the tournament ranked last, to tangle with top-seated Luckey. The Rams blew LHS off the court with a romping score of 54-35. At halftime though the red and white clad cards held a four point lead of 16-12 but couldn't keep it as the Rams came out ready to play at half- time. We hustled and had a good total team effort, agreed Jim Reno. Two nights later, St. X fell to powerful Westmore- land — four points short of the championship. All was not lost though, as the sweaty grinning faces took home a Runner-up, 2nd place trophy. 67 The '78 Rams 8-11 re- cord can't begin to tell the story of the varsity sea- son. Under the skillful coaching and firm hand of Roger Diekmann, the Rams defeated pre-season favor- ite — Hope; and post-sea- son champions — West- moreland. The Rams list their sea- son opener to Hope, but came back to snag a victo- ry over St. George in a costly game. Disaster struck when senior foreward Phil Boiler was carried off the court with a major knee injury during the 3rd quarter. He was not to return for the re- mainder of the season. The loss took its toll, as St. X took on four consecutive defeats for a 1-5 record. The lack of depth and ex- perience in the foreward positions badly hurt the Rams. When tne squad did manage to get back on their feet though, they marked six of their next nine com- petitions as victories. Memories from the ecstacv side include the two-point victory over Hope in a 1st- round tournament bout, that led them to a 3rd place seating in the Eik-East di- vision. On the agonizing side there was the what- if Luckey-St. X game that left the Rams two points behind the state- bound Cardinals. 68 Top-counterclockwise; 1.

Mark Rutlege battles a Westy player for a jump ball in tourney play. An end of the season slump followed with the Rams winning only 71-67 and 57-55 respectively. Coach Diekmann sums up the season, 7 of our 11 losses were by 4 points or less. I think our lack of consistency and discipline can account for a great deal of that. The team had a lot of outstanding indi- vidual skill, but didn't get it together as one unit. Coach Diekmann also com- ments, ... but we'll be back next year! 69 KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN 304 W. 6th Junction City, Kansas MILADY’S BEAUTY SALON CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS DR. D. D.
