Many ideas were brought up, but deciding on just one was more difficult than one would think. They finally decided that the most prominent event at St. Xavier this year was the hiring of our new princi- pal. So with this in mind, the staff came up with the theme, “A New Beginning.” This was chosen not only because of Mr. Cale and the new teachers, but because 1981 officially marked the beginning of a new dec- ade, and the rest of the world exper- ienced several new situations as well. Among these were two unsuccessful assassination attempts on world fig- ures, the first being on President Reagan and the second on Pope John Paul II. Another big event during the year was the release of the 52 Ameri- can hostages, who had been held cap- tive in Iran. The ordeal, lasting over 14 months, ended in January 1981. Little did the staff know that St. Xavier was to experience several “new beginnings” also, for example; new coaches for the boys and girls basketball teams, a new yearbook de- livery date, which was changed from May to August, a new choir teacher at semester, and changes in policy. These changes brought about mixed emotions; however, as the year pro- gressed, students fell into daily rou- tine and accepted the changes. 2 Opening Zhe Best Part Of Beauty . . . . Who ya’ gonna vote for? Who ya’ takin’ to the dance? Whose house ya’ gonna “T.P.”? What are you gonna wear? These questions and many more filled the excited halls of St. X. during spirit week, October 12-17. The spirit week, organized by the Ramblin’ Rams, consisted of “Hat Day’’, “Sunglasses Day”, “Tie Day”, and “Dress Up Day”. A banquet of ham and turkey was given for the athletes, coaches, and faculty on Thursday. After the banquet the tradition of “T.P. ing” was carried out by the cheerleaders, Ramlin’ Rams, and energetic football players. Friday was filled with excite- ment and curiosity. Plus, the cheerleaders gave a pep rally that afternoon. As the students and faculty gathered into the gym they were introduced to the candidates by a skit similar to the dating game with Mr. Dixson as the eligible bachelor. Half-time of the St. X.-Luckey game finally rolled around with the cheerleaders presenting a rou- tine to “Give Me The Night” by George Benson. The Ramblin’ Rams entered the field to form a half-moon. Suspense filled the air as the Homecoming candidates Yvonne Quinton escorted by Jose Davis; Marie Fiffe with escort John Mar- shall; and Mary Boiler with escort Jeff Keating, were introduced. Joe Mattingly and Bob Hall an- nounced the new Queen, Yvonne Quinton, as Monsignor Keogan placed the crown and Mr. Cale presented her with the royal blue cape. After the victory, there was a dance in the assembly room. The students and their guests danced to the music of D.J. Doug Devin.

The big social event was held at the Hil- ton Inn Hotel in the Rainbow Room. Decorations consisting of doves, clouds, lots of crepe pa- per, and candles serving as centerpieces carried out the theme, “Time For Me To Fly”. All decor was in Senior colors, burgandy and gold. Shortly after 7:00, junior class secretary Melanie Griffin took the floor and read proph- ecies for each senior. These ranged from a future astronaut to a housewife with twelve chil- dren. Following the phophe- cies, welcoming speeches were presented by junior class presi- dent Lisa Majerus and junior class sponsor, Mrs. Opat. Final- ly, Monsignor Keogan rose from his seat and gave the tra- ditional prayer, thus signaling everyone to “munch down”. The dinner menu included roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, tea, coffee, and cake. Music was provided by the four piece band, Champion, from Kansas City. Their music ranged from AC DC, Black Sa- bath, to Led Zeppelin. The dinner and dance came to a close around twelve o’clock, but the partying didn’t. Senior Tricia Tomandl hosted the after prom party at her house for both the juniors and seniors. After breakfast was served at 3:00 a.m. some people called it a night, but for others the fun continued into the latter hours of Saturday morning.

It not only expressed the feelings of the un- derclassmen, but of the fact that their speaker, Sister Frederic Ei- lert who had been the principal at St. Xaviers for 11 years, had shared many experiences with them. She recalled all but one of the graduating seniors and told them that each one had given some- thing to the school, whether it be academically, athletically, by helping prepare for a tourna- ment or ceremony, or by their art creations. The graduating class was the smallest since 1956 with only 17 members. Sister Frederic took note of this by telling them to make up in quality what they lack in quantity. The graduation ceremony was followed up by the traditional re- ception sponsored by the juniors, refreshments were compliments of the parents. Their were the traditional good-lucks and well- wishes accompanied by the tears of happiness and joy, but with a little bit of sadness at the thought of leaving their old alma-mater.

If such a book was available it would have answered such questions as “Why do the up- perclassmen pick on the freshman so much?” or “How do I tell my parents I’m flunking General Sci- ence?” An area in which the freshmen needed no help was involvement. Being one of the smaller classes by no means meant that they were inactive. Their participation had a great effect on sports, cheerlead- ing, organizations, and other ex- tracurricular activities. As in recent years the class sold fruitckes in November for their major money-making project.

With only two more years of high school to go, they made the 1980-81 year a successful one, full of activities in which the sopho- mores made their presence known. As well as being active in sports, the sophomores were involved in organizations such as; Ramblin’ Rams, CYO, and StuCo. There were two sophomore girls on the cheerleading squad and two on the yearbook staff. Traditionally, the sophomores sold magazines as their major money-making project. Although they raised a commendable profit of $600, the sophomores did not reach their goal of $1,000. During English II, the sopho- mores published a school newspa- per. The paper included coverage of sport events, personal features, and the ever popular gossip col- umn. - Emerson BELOW: Class officers.

In their freshmen and sophomore years, they made enough money so that they did not need a major money making project. However, they did have a bake sale and a car wash to take care of a few minor details concerning prom. Although the classes’ size di- minished from last year, they still dominated the halls with 32 mem- bers. Boys dominated the starting line-ups for both football and bas- ketball teams. Academically, the class stood out with three members on the Honor Society. Seventeen juniors took Emporia Tests while some were recognized for their achieve- ments with other honors. Mr. Kline, one of the juniors sponsers said that, “Juniors are re- presentative of all facets of St. Xa- viers’ social and athletic life! They are interspearsed throughout all levels and areas of the academic spectrum. They are enthusiastic in most endeavors that involve their level and frame of refer- ABOVE: Mike Sullivan shows how con- templative juniors can be.

This included; be- ing the first class to graduate un- der Principal James Cale and be- ing the smallest class to graduate since 1956. In previous years, they used to be one of the larger classes, but after a few military families were transferred, the size began to diminish. Dorine Lincoln and Tim Sullivan were the only additions to the senior class this year. Dor- ine combined her junior and sen- ior year to graduate and Tim came back after attending St. X for a few years in grade school. Another first for the seniors, was a retreat to Concordia, April 8 9, where they had the privilege of staying in the Manna ouse. The past, retreats were just one day in length. The highlight of firsts, accord- ing to the seniors, was the senior skip day, which was brought back to custom against the wishes of Mr. Cale. Realizing that they would have to suffer the conse- quences, each senior that skipped took on the task of making up time. Nevertheless, some seniors were still quoted as saying, “It was worth it.” Eighteen individuals and at the same time a very united class would be one of the best ways to describe the class of “81”. They showed the school they were not a silent group by participating in al- most every extracurricular activ- ity offered at St. X. Most of the seniors left school before lunch, some attended classes at the pub- lic high school to take advantage of courses not offered here and still others went the full seven hours. Just like everything else, some of the seniors plan to attend college sifter graduation and some have other plans.

This years senior class had a large amount of pioneers com- pared to the size of the total class. Seven seniors found themselves still together after 11 years of school. Six of the pioneers have been classmates since first grade and after much reminiscing they couldn’t help but include Patty Folwell, who joined them in sec- ond grade, as a seventh pioneer. Taking each other for granted all these years, they realized how much they meant to each other when graduation time rolled around. Vowing to keep in touch with each other, they went their separate ways. As for the rest of the class, they all felt as if they had been in school together for a long time also. Indeed, it was a long haul for the class of “81” and it’s an even longer haul ahead of them. 28 Seniors BELOW: Senior Yvonne Quinton looks surprised as she takes a break only to be caught by the photographer.

The class seemed to have been spending a lot of time read- ing scripture and studying the life of Christ. In doing so, they came to understand their religious faith as very practical. They also invited residents of the local rest home to come in and share their views on life in general. Religion Sister Mary’s Religion I class spent most of their class time learning about the early church. Parents were asked for their convictions on what the children should be taught and were also asked to cooperate in certain lessons. Later in the year, the young freshmen learned that attending church wasn’t all there was to religion. They also got into discussions of drugs and premarital sex. The first semester of Mrs. Ptacek’s Religion II class found the students compar- ing religions such as Bud- dhism and Hinduism. They also constructed a Jesse Tree by, each day, adding a sym- bol of the history behind Christ. Late in the second quarter, they lit the candles on the Advent wreath for Mass. The second semester was spent understanding the many ways of Christian wor- ship. ABOVE: Religion IV can be a very diverse class at times with the seniors doing various things besides their religion. Activities can range from accounting homework to what did everyone do over the weekend. (Photo by Deppish) Fr. Frank’s Religion IV class is an important course for the seniors of St. Xavier High School. They were en- couraged to look at the church from an adult point of view, thus, preparing them for life. The seniors also studied the theology of the sacraments; especially Eu- charist, Penance, and Matri- mony, as well as an overall view of salvation history. The Old Testament was dealt with first semester, and church history, the second. A Qood JCife Js Zhe Only Religion duller BELOW: Sister Mary discusses the early church history with her freshmen.

(Photo by Gannon) Art is a system of problem solving situa- tions. “Choice” is the main element in art. You have options and deci- sions which must be made constantly while working on a project. Each project is presented with a set of require- ments that demand the student to make deci- sions. A highlight of the year in art class is taking pro- jects to art shows. At- tending a show in Chap- man, several of the art students placed high enough to give them the privilege of representing St. Xavier at the state show. The winners in- cluded: Rob Charland, David Weinel, Mark Reno, Mike Sullivan, Desaree Parker, and Troy Archer. Besides at- tending these art shows, they put macrame masks and hooked wall hang- ings on display at the George Smith Public Li- brary. The everyday pro- jects included drawings, paintings, plaster works, and sculpture.

(Photo by Deppish) Mrs. Wheeler, Home Eco- nomics teacher, found it ea- sier to work with the smaller number of students in her classes this year. Nine fresh- men boys elected to take Bachelor Living, while six girls took Home Ec. I. In turn, the students received a lot of individual help while they learned the basic home ec. knowledge and skills of grooming, baking, and sew- ing. All home ec. students be- came automatic members of FHA. The freshmen did their part by having an Eas- ter pre-school party and decorating the school Christ- mas tree. Home Ec. II was not of- fered this year but there were six students in Interme- diate Home Ec. Their foreign food study included making exotic foods of different countries and reporting on those countries. The second semester was spent learning about proper laundering techniques and advancing their sewing skills. A Halloween pre-school party and grade school nutri- tion classes were prepared by the Intermediate Home Ec. students. All of the home ec. classes made cookies for the tournament hospitality rooms. The ten Living On Your Own (LOYO) students stud- ied many topics that have, are, or will soon be facing them in their future adult- hood. Group discussions, question and answer ses- sions, worksheets, films, and tests allowed students to evaluate how they feel on such topics as themselves, career choices, friends, fam- ily, parenthood, manage- ment, consumer education, and housing. They also learned what others thought and had experienced. The LOYO class planned a Christmas party for pre- schoolers as a project for FHA. Home Ec 37 The yearbook staff started off the year with many changes, one of the major changes was a new adviser, Mrs. Opat. It was an alto- gether new learning exper- ience for her. Another change was switching to a fall delivery book instead of the usual spring book and supplement. There were three new additional mem- bers to the staff, they were: Lisa Deppish, Lisa Powers, and Mark Reno. They were faced with the challenge of putting together a yearbook. But with Jhe help of more experienced members they learned quickly. Unlike last year there were no section editors everyone was of equal status. They worked together as a team to meet deadlines and publish a better yearbook. The veterns on the staff were Jeanette Erichsen, editor, Jolita Mar- tinez, Mary Boiler, Carol Kohlrus, Bill Roberts, Val Elliott and Colleen Walsh. There were three photogra- phers: Mary Liz Deppish, Todd Croy and Jeff Gannon. yearbooks Are School's Mirrors BELOW: Yearbook staff, Backrow: Lisa Deppish, Colleen Walsh, Lisa Powers, and Mary Liz Deppish.

(Photo by Croy) In its second year at St. Xaviers, the Chamber Choir increased in popu- larity. One great asset was the addition of male voices, which helped to balance the tone quality of the choir. As a whole, they had a very busy and unique year. They started off the year finishing their mon- ey-making project and learning songs for Friday masses, which took up about a third of their time. In addition they were busy preparing songs for the league music festival which was held at Wake- field in November. The first semester was taught by Mrs. Vickie An- geli, who started the choir at St. X. Because of a job opportunity for her hus- band she was forced to leave. Mr. Crow, a recent Kan- sas State University gra- duate took over for the rest of the year. Mr. Crow is from Wichita and pres- ently lives in Manhattan. He graduated with a de- gree in Music Education. He spent the first few days learning the voices and abilities of the choir. As the year progressed, they got ready for the State Music festival and a spring concert.

(Photo by Deppish) ABOVE: “Keep your eyes on that copy. Brian Murphy.” (Photo by Gannon) In her second year of teaching business classes at St. X, Mrs. Opat was pleased to have eight seniors in ac- counting. They often griped about the amount of work but each one did a superior job of learning the account- ing system. The students then put their knowledge to work by completing individ- ualized practice sets for a fic- titious company. In addition, they learned about banking accounts, stocks and bonds, and taxes. Early in the year three ac- counting students and Mrs. Opat attended K-State Ca- reer Day. Towards the end of the year the class toured the Manhattan Vo-Tech and the Farm Bureau. The two General Business classes, dominated by sopho- mores, learned about the economy and how they could become wise and efficient consumers. They were given the opportunity to listen to guest speakers who spoke about different aspects of the economy in Junction City. The Chamber of Commerce was helpful in providing lit- erature about the free inter- prise system and productiv- ity. Each student chose a ca- reer of their interest and re- searched it thoroughly to see if that career was really what they would like to do in their future adulthood. Two Typing I classes were also dominated by sopho- mores along with five sen- iors. The students worked out of a text and a workbook. They first learned the key- board and then moved on to typing personal and business letters, manuscripts, term papers, and statistical typ- ing. Gradually everyone in- creased their speed and im- proved their accuracy. Each student kept a typing note- book to keep information that was collected during the year, to be used for studying and future reference.

(Photo by Deppish) During the first quarter of the Health class, stu- dents worked on emotion- al and mental health. They studied basic and complex emotions and learned how to direct emotions into construc- tive channels. After that, they studied the human body and its many differ- ent systems. Near the end of the year they worked mostly on first aid, safety and drug abuse. This year in the ad- vanced and freshman P.E. classes students did many different things. The ad- vanced class designed a program on their individ- ual fitness evaluations and needs. Each student then received a certificate from Governor Carlin for com- pletion of the project. The freshman learned to work together through team sports and to work indi- vidually on their fitness. They performed tumbling skills during half-times of some basketball games. They also did rhythmic aerobic routines for the student body. The psychology class did many interesting ex- periments. Some of these were working with mazes, figuring our biorythms, keeping dream journals, and making mirror trac- ings. Also, they used dif- ferent methods to rate personality traits. During the third quarter the stu- dents spent most of their time on a death course, under the direction of Mike Chaput from John- sons Funeral Home. They studied this course to get a better understanding of death. Health P.E. 43 RIGHT: Mr. McKee does a lot of strange things when he lectures in class to keep the students attention.

(Photo by Deppish) Mr. McKee, a second year political science teacher, was no longer considered a rookie by his students but a more ex- perienced and informed instructor. Nine underclassmen en- rolled in the Civics class. They focused on the affect citizens could have on government and kept on top of current events such as the American hostages in Iran, the economy, etc. The two senior Govern- ment classes learned to understand the U.S. Gov- ernment. A visit to the state capital gave them an insight into political ac- tivities. With it being a presidential election year, they were able to trace the election process first hand. Other current events were also dis- cussed. Highlighting the year were the two Peace Corps speakers. Mark Jones talked about Zaire, (Africa) and Chris McKee about Napal, (Asia). The junior class made up the two American His- tory classes. They devel- oped a background knowl- edge of the good ole’ U.S.A.’s past and how his- tory affects the present and future. Book reports, due each quarter, were done on an historical event or person. The Ei- senhower Museum in Abi- lene was the spring time field trip. Mr. McKee was pleased with the overall attentiveness and progress of all his classes. ABOVE: Jane Garza, Dorine Lincoln, and Mary Boiler admire the beautiful architecture around the capital.

(Photo by Deppish) Mrs. Schaffer explained that she liked teaching English I and II because of the interesting change she saw in the students from their freshmen to sopho- more year. Literary works were read for enjoyment. The need for grammar was stressed by learning the parts of speech and proper sentence structure through diagramming. All classes were required to do a book report each quar- ter. English II learned how to properly write a term paper on a subject of their choosing. The sophomores also put out a school news- paper every quarter. Mrs. Schaffer’s class of nine Oral Interpretation students put on two plays: “The Freak and the Fuzz”, and “Twas the Fight Before Christmas”. They presented the for- mer play, various prose and poetry interpretations and duet acts, which the students seemed to enjoy doing the most, at the League and Regional Fes- tivals in March. Fairy tales were told to the grade school pupils. In the spring a musical was presented by the music and drama departments for the public. Teaching the junior and senior class English courses was Sister Ann Unger. She commented that it is fascinating and challenging, but can be hard work as well. English III and IV were enriched by a selected program of short stories, poetry, dramas, and nov- els. Reading, discussing, analyzing for values and insights, and test-taking were activities all students were involved in. Gram- mar and composition re- main a key part of the Language Arts Program. All of this was an impor- tant concern for both col- lege-bound and terminal English 47 students.

(Photo by Croy) The math students this year got the chance to learn from an exper- ienced teacher formerly from the city Junior high, Mr. Bill Winn, and a new face to the teach- ing world, Mr. Kevin Dixson. Mr. Winn start- ed off the Algebra I courses with pre-algebra. This was to prepare the students for Algebra I and II, which were taught by Mr. Dixson. Mr. Dixson like any dedicated teacher hopes “to give a good back- ground for life and for college.” Along with the new teachers a new class, Consumer Math was taught. This class helped the student learn more about the math used in the business world. It helped them become bet- ter acquainted with sala- ries and percentages. General Math was also offered this year, by Mr. Winn. He took a double dose of teaching math, having to teach in both the junior and senior high. General math was taught to help the stu- dents refresh their skills of basic math. ABOVE: Melanie Griffin finds something funny about her homework while Mike Sullivan and Jim Keating try to figure out their problem. (Photo by Gannon) When it comes to Ge- ometry the students change the subject. They warn upcoming students about the long proofs, and pages of theorems. Through all this com- plaining, Mr. Dixson makes the point “that in the future it will help you to think logically.” Advanced math was of- fered for those seniors who saw a possibility ol math in their future. To help them learn, they re- ceived new calculus books. They had a lot of fun along with their hard work.

This is the class that freshmen suffered through on their way to harder more ad- vanced sciences. Like its name General Science covers a wide variety of areas. They studied engi- neering problems and the solar system. Their class project was a model of the solar system. In Biology, dissection seems to have been the main topic this year. Worms, fish, crayfish and frogs gave way to the scalpel, needles and picks. After they fin- ished dissecting they be- came involved in botany. They saved this for the time when the plants, flowers and trees started to bloom, so they could make observations. To add excitement to the class, a student brought in four fertile eggs, which the class attemped to hatch in an incubator. This year in Chemis- try class Sister Mary strove to create an inter- est in further scientific study, and to give a firm foundation and under- standing of the princi- ples of chemistry. This past year they enjoyed many exciting lab ex- periments, where better techniques paid off in better results. One thing each student learned was that even ‘predictable’ results are not always predictable. Sister Mary also stated that this years class was very ex- hilarating to teach.

Three years ago St. X placed third, last year, sec- ond, and finally first this year scor- ing 4 firsts, 5 seconds, 3 thirds, and 33 honorable mentions. In the Eisenhower League plac- ings St. X came in first with a tre- mendous showing of 402.5 points ahead of the eight other schools. This was the sixth year in a row for the St. X first place league ranking. In doing so, 11 firsts. 11 seconds, and 9 thirds were awarded. The individual Emporia Test awards in addition to other individ- ual achievements were paid homage at the Honors Assembly held May 11. Among these, Tricia Tomandl and Jeff Keating took top honors as Co-Valedictorians for being the two graduating seniors with the highest cummulative grade point averages. They were also awarded gold cords for being the senioirs graduating in the top 10% of their class. The Kan- sas State Engineering Dean's Award for Math and Science was presented to Tricia and Jeff too. Furthermore, both received the Sedes Sapientiae Award for scholarship, loyalty, coo- peration, and participation. Mary Boiler and Jose Davis were honored with the Citizenship Award given by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Yvonne Quinton was prized with the Dague Award of $70 for maxi- mizing talents in extracurricular ac- tivities, scholarship, service to school, family, and community and maintaining good relations with stu- dents and faculty. The “I Dare You Award was presented to Jeanette Erichsen for constructive leader- ship. good character, and personal development. The Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship Award was given to Jeanette, as well, for outstanding citizenship and community involvement. The Con- geniality Award was presented to Jane Garza and Tim Sullivan. Does Jt Again! BELOW: Tricia Tomandl and Jeff Keating are the Co- Valedictorians for the 1980- 81 school year.

Chris- tine Michaelis’ essay on “My Committment to my Coun- try” in the Voice of Democ- racy Contest won her first place at the local and district levels and third at state. The J.C. Knights of Columbus chose Junior boys, Jim Keat- ing and Bill Roberts, to be the Boys’ State participants this summer. Val Elliott and Albert Hofmeister were chose alternates. Mary Far- low was the junior girl cho- sen by the J.C. American Le- gion Auxiliary to attend the Girls’ State Meeting. Me- lanie Griffin was chosen the alternate. Mr. Crow presented the choir with awards for their performances in the State Festival at Salina on April 24. Awards for the Oral In- terpretation students com- peting in speech and drama at the Regional Festival in Salina on March 21 and the State Festival in Manhattan on April 11 were given by Mrs. Schaffer. Mrs. Moloney presented awards to the art students for their competi- tion in several displays held during march. The State and National Physical Fittness Awards were presented by Mrs. Ptacek to the physical education students selected to the Society of Distin- guished American High School Students” and to “Who’s Who among Ameri- can High School Students”.

(Photo by Croy) A major change at St. X was the hiring of our new principal, James Cale, due to the resignation of Sister Fre- deric in the previous school year. At first sight you wouldn’t think this young man a principal, but the stu- dents and faculty came to recognize him as he made his presence felt. Although he lacked experience, he real- ized the immense responsi- bilities of being a principal and fulfilled the position well by making many changes in the school policy. A few changes included the installation of barrier gates, 5 minute cut in the lunch pe- riod, absentee make-up slips, after-school detention, num- ber of days allowed absent, disciplinary actions, and dis- cretion on organization ac- tivities. Another new individual to St. X was Mrs. Joyce Carter. She had to learn about the functions of St. X quick in order to fulfill her enormous duties as secretary. ABOVE: St. Xavier Administration.

In the fall, StuCo held a school clean- up program, where each class was responsible for certain areas around the school. They also held a Valentine Dance in the assembly room. The music for the dance was provided by Ron- nie Jones, a local D.J. This dance was not meant to be a money- making project, but gave StuCo over $50.00 to add to their trea- sury. In the spring, StuCo con- centrated on elections of officers for next year.

District conven- tion where Melanie Griffin was elected the new Vice-president of the CYO Diocese for 1980-81. Then, in the fall, they went for a hayrack ride at the Boilers. CYO participated in several basketball tournaments. On February 21st. the boys played their first game against Hill City, and lost. Then on March 14 and 15, they went to Beloit to play in the girls and boys basketball tournaments. The yearbook staff deeply apologizes for the lack of pictures.

Coach McKee had a disadvan- tage before the season even start- ed. He had no assistant, he had to rely on his three seniors, Jose Da- vis, Jeff Keating and John Mar- shall, for leadership and to help him during practice. They would run drills for him and lead prac- tice when he attended a cross country meet. This season was highlighted by two games. The first of the two was Homecoming night against arch-rival Luckey. The Rams de- feated Luckey 14-12, they had not beaten the Cardinals for five years. The second game was against the League leading Hope Lions. In the game, St. X set up 13 of the Lions 19 points on fumbles. The defense and offense played superbly, winning 22-19, in one of the most exciting games in the his- tory of St. X football. The Rams backfield was in debt to six men. These six men made up the offensive line. They were Jeff Keating, John Marshall, A1 Hofmeister, Jim Keating, Sam Niemczyk and Cliff Ryan. The line was the biggest in the league averaging 192 pounds per man and after the Hope game proved to the league they were the fastest too. During the course of the season the Rams received awards in the league. A1 Hofmeister received All-League first team offense and defense, Mark Reno and Jeff Keating made first team, All- league for offense. Jim Keating and Chris Hulett received second team honors on offense and de- fense, respectively. Without an assistant coach, Coach McKee went looking for one, and he did just that finding one in his hometown, Abilene, Kirk Lowrey. Kirk helped mostly in the offensive backfield in run- ning the wishbone. Kirk contri- buted greatly to the success of the backfield in the league. Comments from Coach McKee, ‘Although our record had no indi- cation of how we played. We 30undly beat Hope, who went on to take second in the state. Seven of our games were decided on in the 4th quarter, winning only three of them. The reason for this was prob- ibly due to the lack of experience ind not being mentally tough. We lid something that had not been lone since ’74 beating Luckey, dope and Westy in the same year. TOP RIGHT: Mark Reno ( 35) sweeps around the right end as John Marshall ( 70) pulls to lead the way.

(Photo by Gannon) Goal setting and living up to ex- pectations must have been the de- termining factor in this year’s greatly improved volleyball team. Tremendous improvement stood out in each and every member of the 1980 squad. One half of the 13 member var- sity squad was composed of the following six seniors: Mary Boiler, Mary Liz Deppish, Jeanette Erichsen, Marie Fiffe, Jolita Mar- tinez, and Beatrice Perkins. Un- derclassmen were Carol Kohlrus, Micky and Cindy McGuire, Laura Hackley, Cathy Tomandl, Gina Bantugan, and Melanie Griffin. The Rams opened the 1980 sea- son hosting a seven team Invita- tional Tournament. In the tour- ney, the girls prevailed over league competitors Wakefield, Class 2A Linn, and 3A Herington. At the end of a hard day of volleyball, the girls managed to keep the third place trophy in their trophy case. On September 27, the Rams traveled to Herington for one of the most important tourneys of the year, the Herington Invita- tional. This year the Rams placed third in the tournament of eight schools. Beatrice Perkins and Jo- lita Martinez were chosen to the all-tournament team. The Rams ended their post-sea- son with a 12-5 record, going into the League Tournament seeded 2nd. The girls dropped two matches in the double elimination rounds, losing to Hope and Blue Valley. They did increase their re- cord with two wins over Westy and White City, resulting in a 15-7 record. Selected by the seven par- ticipating teams was Jolita Mar- tinez, as one of the six all-tourna- ment team members. ABOVE: This year before receiving a serve, the Rams concentrated on staying low. So to solve the problem of standing with locked knees, everyone squatted until the ball was served. Beatrice Perkins, Melanie Griffin, and Cathy Tomandl show how it’s done.

(Photo by Gannon) The Rams ended their season at the Regional Tournament, losing to Hope in the semi-fin- als. However, they did defeat Wakefield who ended their sea- son for them last year. The Rams’ final record read 15-8, the best that St. X. has ever had. The Junior Varsity squad took a giant improvement leap over last year also. Under the direction of Coach Angell, who has now coached for two years at St. X., the J.V. executed a stable 4-2 offense. Defensively speaking, the young Rams ex- ecuted well controlled bumps and saves. Many will easily find a spot on the Varsity squad next year. Many thanks go out to four year vet. manager, Tricia To- rnandi. She did a great job in bandaging the wounded, airing up volleyballs, and occassionaly taking a lot of static from the players. Head Coach Nancy Ptacek will see her last year of coach- ing next year for St. Xaviers. She has coached the volleyball team for the last four years, and will have a lot of good memo- ries to take with her when she leaves her “Babes”. St. X. has become known for many things over the years, one of the biggest is the good sports- manship at games. But, the big- gest has got to be the support from fans at school and parents that often travel long distances to see the girls play. The Rams had much to be proud of despite the short sea- son. Some will return next year with the ambition of going to State, for others, hopefully their volleyball career will con- tinue in college. Volley ball 71 “Who Said Work Doesn't Pay Off’ Bud Kline, new to St Xavier High, was the 1980-81 boy’s bas- ketball coach. He came from the Junction City Junior High, where he taught in the science depart- ment and also coached ninth grade boy’s basketball. Coach Kline, coached “A”, “B” and “C” teams with no assistant, although he did get part-time help from Of- ficer Sylvester Stanley. This years’ team saw seven re- turning lettermen, Jeff Keating, Todd Winn, John Marshall, Bill Roberts, Jim Keating, Val Elliott, and Mark Reno. From these sev- en, only two were seniors. Coach Kline had a very inexperienced team to work with this year. With the low amount of upperclassmen, this years’ team saw three fresh- men suited up for varsity games and saw limited action, these three freshmen also started junior varsity. With the lack of experience on the team, the Rams had troubles winning close games. Losing once in overtime and losing leads in the fourth quarter caused them lose games. They went on an eight game losing streak during the middle of the season, but the young Rams were not to be dis- couraged. The Rams went on to win the last four out of six games. During this period, they beat arch-rivals Luckey in Manhattan. St. X. boy’s team had not beaten Luckey in Manhattan in over ten years, also they had not won the first game of regionals in 12 years. So, boys’ basketball looks very bright in the future. Combardi The Junior Varsity had one of its most successful seasons in quite a few years. Not finishing above the 500 mark but showing steady improvement every game, and winning six out of their eleven games. They went into the Luckey In- vitational playing good ball, but lost in the opening round. The young Rams came back in the third and fourth game, and beat St. George soundly to take the third place trophy. Todd Winn was named to the first team All-League. Averaging 13 points a game, he also led the Rams in scoring and rebounding. ABOVE: Jim Keating ( 15) shoots over two Blue Valley defenders for two points.

But, most important to this year’s basketball team were two new coaches, Bill Winn and Sylvester Stanley. Coach Winn transferred from the city Junior High to St. Xavier High. Coach Stanley, a lo- cal police officer in Junction took coaching on because of a special interest in kids. According to newspaper arti- cles, spectators, and even coaches, the girls’ varsity was well com- prised. However, there was one obstacle that stood in the way nearly every game, the disasterous third quarter. For some mysteri- ous reason when the tip-off was up in the third quarter, the Rams slowed down in just about ever- ything; shooting, rebounding, hus- tling, and defense. All four classes were represent- ed on the basketball team this year. Seniors dominated the fig- ures with seven girls who were all on varsity, five juniors split on A and B teams, five sophomores saw a lot of playing on J.V., and five ABOVE: This year the Ram’s worked on a new offense, many types of zone defenses, and a new press breaker.

The Rams went into the League Tournament this year with a 3-6 record hanging on their shoulders. After meeting the Hope Lions in first round play, the Rams quickly dropped hopes of winning the league crown. ABOVE: Open mouthed and up, up, and away goes Mary Liz Deppish on an easy two points.

(Photo by Croy) Basketball 77 A few weeks later the Rams traveled to Westmoreland, where unknown to anyone, the Rams disposed of the Westy Wildcats. The win was precious as the Wild- cats had placed third in the league tournament a few weeks before. The score read 39-36 proudly to the Rams’ favor. The Rams ended their season play for the 1981 year when they met up with the Marquette Wol- verines. This was the first round play of the single elimination Re- gional Tournament. One factor of the Rams loss was that the Wol- verines average five ten in height, which gave them an advantage on the offensive and defensive boards. Also the Wolverines jumped to an early start on run- ning up the score. The six varsity seniors Jolita Martinez, Mary Boiler, Marie Fiffe, Mary Dep- pish, Beatrice Perkins, and Jean- ette Erichsen, benched out the last minutes of the game when the substitutes entered to try to over- come the deficit. One aspect that the girl’s en- joyed about the season this year was morning practices. Unlike previous years when one would have to drag themself out of bed for 6:00 practice, they got an extra half hour of sleep this year. Prac- tices were filled with a lot of scrimmages and warm-up drills, unlike the usual “5 in 5’s”, and running drills. Receiving special honors for the year were Beatrice Perkins, hon- orable mention in the state for class 1A and Mickey Me Guire re- ceived honors in the league.

(Photo by Gannon) 80 The 1981 boy’s track team was under the control of Matt McKee. Coach McKee’s assis- tants were Nancy Ptacek and Gary Bryant. Coach McKee trained the sprinters and field event competitors, while Coach Ptacek headed the stretching program, and Coach Bryant had the long distance runners. The boy’s team returned six lettermen losing only three seniors from last year’s team, but due to a series of early in- juries to key point getters on the team, the Rams did not win any team trophies. How- ever, they did place high in all their meets. This year’s Ram’s team competed against many 2A, 3A, and sometimes 4A schools. They also competed in large track meets with 13 to 19 schools at a meet. The Rams saw nine boys qualify for the Regional track meet in Burlingame. The boys placed third out of 36 teams. The Rams might have placed higher but they lost long jumper Mark Reno for the day due to a pulled muscle, and sprinter Mike Brown out with a bad back. Out of the nine that quali- fied for the Regionals, three went on to go to the state meet which was held in Wichita on the campus of Wichita State University. Val Elliott quali- fied in two events, the 110 high hurdles and the 330 in- termediate hurdles. Val placed third and second re- spectively at regionals. Mike Sullivan was the next one to place for the Rams in the top three spots to be eligible to go to state in the javelin with a throw of 161 feet to place sec- ond. The last one to go to state was Bill Roberts who placed second in the 800 meter dash with a time of 2:08.5. Unknown BELOW: Coach McKee yells encouragement to his runners during a long and hot meet.

(Photo by Gannon) The 1981 girls track team was under the supervision of Matt McKee, for the second year. This year’s assistants for Coach McKee were Coach Ptacek and Gary Bryant. Coach McKee worked with the sprinters and the weight- lifters. Ms. Ptacek worked with the stretching program. Mr. Bryant worked with the long distance runners. The girl’s track team started the year off with a large num- ber of participants, but as the season continued the number diminished. After losing cer- tain members of the team, they were not able to score many points at their meets. Therefore, they did not bring home any trophies, or place high in any meets. This year the girls track team saw one record fall. It was broken by their 880 relay team, consisting of Gina Ban- tugan, Lisa Powers, Yvonne Quinton, and Lisa Majerus. The new record now stands at 1:54.7. They also brought four girls to Regionals. Gina Bantugan in both the 110 high and 220 low hurdles, Yvonne Quinton in the long jump, Lisa Majerus in the 220 low hurdles, Yvonne Quinton in the long jump, Lisa Majerus in the 220 yard dash, and both their 440 and 880 relay teams. Out of these four girls only one quali- fied for state. Gina Bantugan was the only girl who qualified for the state meet this year. She qualified by placing second in both the 110 high and 220 low hurdles at regionals. Gina has been the only girl to qualify for the State meet since 1979, and one of St. X’s youngest partici- pants in the meet. 82 Track BELOW: The 1981 Girls Track Team; 1st Row: Denise Aleck, Brenda Carter.

The team was still a very young one, with two sopho- mores and one freshman on the boys team. The girls had two juniors, Brenda Carter and Christine Michaelis. The rest of the team consisted of Kevin Bryant, Charles Carter, and Robert Potter. They were coached by Gary Bryant and Matt McKee. Coach Bryant planted in the runners mind to say “Never say never.” He had them practice long hours during the season and running over 40 miles a week. He had them practice at Milford Lake, Rimrock Park, and around the city. The team went to many meets during the season. Team points were not kept due to competition against larger schools and lack of team mem- bers. However, many individ- ual medals were won. Kevin Bryant and Christine Michaelis set the school re- cords for the two-mile. Kevin’s time was 10:39 and Christine’s was 15:34. ______________ ABOVE: 1980 Cross Country Team.

We hope that our recollection of the schodr year brings back happy memories for everyone. We, the staff have tried to cover the school events to the best of our ability, but of those “special” memories can only be remembered by you. Being editor of the yearbook for two years has taught me a great deal. I would like to thank Mrs. Opat for her patience this year and my previous advisor for teaching me so much. A big thanks to the rest of the staff for all the hard work and laughs. Happy Memories! Jeanette Erichsen Editor 1979-1981 104 Conclusion
