  Rhonemus a native of Emerado, N.D., is endured as one of the two greatest women athletes ever to attend and compete at UND. She was a tremendous student-athlete participating in track, baseball, volleyball, basketball and riflery. In track Rhonemus was a consistent top point winner. She attended school from 1923-25, then taught all over N.D. before returning back to receive her Bachelor of Arts in 1937. From 1944-56 she was Director of Physical Education for Women at UND where she served as an instructor from 1956 to the time she retired. She was a skilled and energetic teacher of dance and other recreation type activities during her UND career. She also produced recordings that were widely used, and was published in many journals. Several honor awards were given to her, one from the Central District of the American Association of Health, and another from the Physical Education and Recreation in 1958 and several others in 1962.
