( EXPECTATIONS ) 1981 REDMEN Woonsocket High School Woonsocket, S.D. 57385 Vol. 66 If you were to ask a number of different people to define expectations you may get a number of different answers, but according to the dictionary expectations are the acts or states of expecting. As you go through this book expect to see a number of things that happened in the year of 1981. We as high school students know that every year of high school gets closer to the final year. Many things are expected of us everyday and when the time comes for us to leave this school, we have reached a major milestone in our lives. But it is really then that we will know the meaning of expectations. When you look at this book expect it to bring back memories of the past year. 1981 grew with us and we grew with 1981. We are moving on but have really just begun Pictured above, a few varsity players befuddle Coach Andree before heading to Regions in Fort Pierre.

The morning of Sept. 19 found grades K-12 preparing for the parade which would precede down mainstreet. The Sophomore class captured first place in the float division with their float, “As the Pigskin Turns . At 7:15 that evening the cheerleaders arrived via fire engine at the playing field, setting the scene for another Redmen Home- coming victory. The Redmen trounced the Tulare Chieftans 44-12 that night. It was the fourth consecutive homecoming the Redmen have won. The game was followed by a KOKK disco in the gym.

The carnival is an annual event held each year to raise money for the PTA. This year the senior class took top honors for the second time in their high school careers. The seniors raised $450.75 by having a senior breakfast and selling chances on $35 cash. The Freshmen learned fast the meaning of competition as they came in second with $325.19. In order to raise money they had a bake sale, cake raffle, sold carameled apples at a football game, and sold chances on a clock radio. Following the Freshmen were the Sophomores raising $294.25. They cleaned house, had a bake sale, sold hot apple cider at a football game, and sold chances on gas. The Junior class raised $170.08. They had a car wash, raked lawns, and sold chances of $35 worth of groceries.

However, all candidates must meet the qualifications of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The candidates for membership were se- lected by a faculty council composed of Jens Andree, principal; Kathleen Zimmerman, advisor; Floyd Elenz, Lindy Peterson, and Linda Roth. Pictured right, active in the library this year were; Back Row: Sandi Vetter, Kel- ly Hughes, Kathy Goergen. Front Row: Renee Block, Yvonne Fougner, and not pictured, Ron Nielson.

Leisure Sports At WHS Everyone knows that sports require time and hardwork. But the leisure sports at WHS are a different story. School sports are often thought of as football, basketball, and track that only the few excel in. But part of school sports at WHS is free from the pressure of points, crowds, and competition, and those are the leisure sports. Leisure sport activities take place outside the classrooms but within the school atmosphere. The main thing about leisure sports is that it's not just the certain few that are able to excel, but the whole student body can take part. Pictured above, it's keep away time as a group of kids gather for a little noontime fun. Pictured below, it seems to be getting a little uncomfortable while some kids dog-pile an unsuspect- ing victim.

Red men End '80 Season With Flurry After opening the 1980 season with disappointing losses to Ramona and Wolsey, the Redmen rolled to six straight victo- ries. One of those victories came over arch rival Alpena, a game which the senior football players will remember for a long time. Sophomores Dan Ball and Bret Merkle played major roles in the Redmen starting offense. Ball rushed for 734 yards on 146 carries for an average of 5.03 yards per carry. Merkle complet- ed 41 of 96 passes for 610 yards and 11 touchdowns while throwing only 8 interceptions. In the receiving department, Mike Peterson snagged 17 balls for 217 yards for an average of 12.76 yards per catch. Dan Hinker also caught 13 passes for 202 yards. The Redmen out-scored their opponents 236 to 110 while making 89 first downs. They rushed for 1,587 yards and passed for 625 for a total of 2,212 yards.

Michael Peterson desperately tries to evade this would-be tackier. 36 At 6-2 and 165 lbs., Gregg Bollinger was a great asset to the Redmen starting nine. Bollinger played his first game at quarterback and finished the season playing a respectable flanker position as well as on the special teams. He partici- pated in three years of high school football here at WHS. Senior standout Dan Hinker excelled both offensively and defensively. On offense, Hinker rushed for 332 yds. on 69 carries and caught 13 passes for 202 yds. On defense, Hinker had 60 tackles including 42 unassisted at the position of outside linebacker. Hinker was named to the 1980 version of the 281 All Conference team. Dominant, late-starter Ray Boschee contributed as an outstanding pass rusher and also served as the Redmen placekicker. Boschee received 281 Conference honorable mention fol- lowing the 1980 season. He participat- ed in two years of high school football and served as temporary captain for the last three games. As a crushing blocker from the center position, Ron Nielson played a major role in the WHS running game which netted 1,587 yards. Nielson also helped on defense as he produced 56 tackles, 31 of which were unassisted and 25 as- sisted. Nielson has participated in four years of high school football. Co-captain |im Grassel showed his ver- satility by filling three positions for the Redmen squad. On offense, he played fullback and rushed for 479 yds. on 79 carries. On defense, his specialty was inside linebacker and he also punted for an average of 32 yds. per kick. He was a three-year asset to the Redmen. Co-captain Bob Krause was the main- stay of the Redmen offense and de- fense. He was a punishing blocker from the guard position and a legend at mid- dle linebacker. Bob weighed in at 190 lbs. and stands 6 feet tall. He has played football here for 3 years and his honors include 2 years All 281 Conference and 2nd team All-State. 37 Roxanne Moe attempts to add another two points to the current shutout.

Redmen Girls Surprise Fans The Woonsocket Redmen had a respectable, but dishearten- ing ending to a year that saw continued improvement. The season started out slow as they lost two out of the first four games. The rest of the year found the Redmen building their team for the District Tournament held in Kimball. With a new defense and a desire to win the Redmen exploded into the District 14 defeating long-time rival Wessington Springs 46-31 in the first round. They went on to defeat Crow Creek handily and squeaked by Miller in the championship 29-28. From there the Redmen traveled to Region IV held in St. Pierre to take on Alpena defeating them 54-32. In the finals of the Region the girls ended the tournament winning streak losing to Highmore in a defensive battle. In the third quarter the Redmen found themselves ahead by nine points, but their dreams for a State B birth were shattered when Highmore pulled ahead in the end of the fourth quarter. The Pirates sank two free throws to break the tie and clinch the 33-35 victory. Two members of the team, Roxanne Moe and Heather Selland made the All-Conference Team. Moe led her team in scoring with 219 points. She also grabbed 125 rebounds and 63 steals. Selland was picked for the second consecutive year. She end- ed the season as the leading rebounder with 215 rebounds, and also had 194 points. Other statistics showed Kandy Kroell the leader in steals with 80 and assists with 74. The Redmen ended their season with a respectable 16-8 re- cord. WHS OPPONENT 40 Wessington Springs 34 61 Hitchcock 24 31 Stickney 53 33 Letcher 52 51 Mt.

The B team ended with a 7-1 conference record and 10-5 overall record. Redmen had two members of the team named to the 281 All Conference team, Gregg Bollinger and Ray Boschee. Other players starting for the Redmen were Danny Hmker, Michael Peterson, and Chad Andree. Also seeing action were Danny Ball and Trent Steichen coming in on a reserve roll. Selected for the team awards for this year's season were: Gregg Bollinger-Most Valuable Player; Danny Hinker-Most Improved Player; and Michael Peterson-Mr. Hustle. In addition to the regular season games, the team placed fifth in the 281 Conference Tournament held for the first time at home. They lost the first round game to Tulare by 1 point, then defeated their next two opponents to capture the consolation championship. The Redmen also held the Woonsocket Classic in the Huron Arena and brought home a 50-48 victory over the Miller Rustlers. District 14 proved to be the ending point of the season when the squad suffered a disappointing 57-55 loss to Wessington Springs after beating them twice in regular season play. After suffering this loss the Redmen were eliminated from district play and concluded their season there. Top right: Gregg Bollinger makes his move to slide around his defensive man.
