Aspen High School - Silver Queen Yearbook (Aspen, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1979 volume:

They know of many mountai And love their awesome stren Through icy winds and steepn They carve the white crest's length For “they are “the Aspen Skiers Rich beyond their years They have conquered pain and strife And felt victorious tears . . . Everything is blotted out In a whirl of whistling snow As they twist and dash through the course Almost out of control Head to head they challenge One another in swift flight Soaring over moguls and jumps With beauty, power and might . . . Although they may never win The immortal Olympic gold Nor thrill the glory and fame Of an alpine racing pro They all have conquered pain and strife And felt victorious tears For “they are “the Aspen Skiers Rich far beyond their years. ® 1978 Pete Murphy THE 1979 SILVER QUEEN 2 Aspen High School Aspen, Colorado 8 i 12 r yy 17 Seniors Senior class officers: Sponsor: K.

The Aspen High School Girls’ Volleyball team started the 1978 season as one of the favorites in the Northwest League. They were also ranked among the best teams in the state. Their motto: “Aspen Volleyball, Pass It On”, was an inspiration throughout the season all the way to state. By posting an undefeated league record of 7 wins and no losses, the Aspen girls won the league title. The highlight of the season was a victory over Eagle Valley who avenged their loss later with a victory over Aspen in the league playoffs. The team finished in second place at the league tournament and went on to district play. A victory over Gunnison in the district meet sent the Skiers to state. The team had a kind of “quiet confidence” about it. Throughout the season, state was never talked about by the team. The girls took one game at a time, and never became over-confident. And yet state was still in the back of everyone’s mind. Without it, the season just wouldn’t be complete. At the State Tourney, Aspen was victorious over St. Mary’s in the quarter finals. Against Platte Valley, who went on to win the tournament, the girls played well, but were defeated. Aspen finished fourth in the state, losing to Crowley County, still impressive for a team so young. The team’s two seniors, Brenda Carlson and Debbie West, were the leaders. Their experience and encouragement to the younger players held the team together when the pres- sure was building. Hopefully their shoes can be filled next year. If so. Aspen’s volleyball future looks very promising. Rarely has such a talented group of girls gathered togeth- er in same year. For Aspen, it happened in 1978. The combination of talent, hard-work, and dedication paid off with the achievement of a goal and a fourth place finish in SJATE. VOLLEYBALL JUNIOR VARSITY Front row.

The Aspen High School Football Team began the season with only 29 players trying out, by far the smallest squad in the league. Pre-season forecast- ers predicted the Skiers to finish no higher than sixth in the Northwest League. Aspen’s hopes for a winning season looked dim. The Skiers started quickly however, winning their First 3 games, beat- ing Rangely 19-6, Steamboat 14-13, and Rifle 20- 0. Then the Skiers came up against two of the toughest teams in the state; the 1977 State Cham- pions Roaring Fork, and the eventual state playoff winners for the 1978 season, Glenwood Springs. Both teams had been consistently ranked in the State’s top 5. Aspen played hard, but lost to Roar- ing Fork (20-18). A loss to Glenwood 20-14 dropped the Skiers’ record to 3-2, and they faced the possibility of a losing season. But the gridders had gained respect of the pollsters, playing the second half of the season as a member of the state’s elite top 10. Coaches: Pete Degrcgorio, Millard Kelley, Willard Clapper. Inspired by their state ranking, and the possibility of a state playoff chance, the Skiers battled back. They won their last three games convincingly, beating Ea- gle Valley (29-7), Moffat County (14-7), and Meeker (27-19). This fine finish gave the Skiers a record of 6 wins and 2 losses; their best record since 1973. At season’s end, the Aspen club was ranked sixth in the statewide A.P. poll. It was a rewarding and gratifying season for the group that was given such little chance to succeed before the season began. The team was led by 8 seniors. Their hard work, positive attitude, and the willingness to strive for a team goal were model qualities for any athlete wishing to succeed. 73 Next Best Thing To Being There!

The results of this effort have been excit- ing and rewarding. The boys and girls teams combined to take the league by surprise in their trips to Battle Mountain, Craig, Broomfield, Rifle and Steamboat. Both teams won their divisions in league and competed in the state cross country meet in Pueblo. Amazingly, the runners were win- ners in one short season. The girl’s team was third in state AA competi- tion. The boys team placed ninth. Julie Kirk was fifth overall at the state level. Soccer, a city sponsored sport, attracts a large number of high school players. Because of numbers, soccer players were divided into two teams. From these teams an all-star team was chosen. Outstanding players were Timmy Madsen, Marcus Skaeringsson, Mark Menscher, Lisa Valley, and Marlis Marolt. With much hard work, the team experienced an exciting season, with 9 wins, 9 losses, and 1 tie. Dribble, Kick, Goal! c ) O SOCCER Front row, L to R: C. McDonald, R. Grcwal, C. Farr, J. Clapper. K.

The 1978-79 year was a rewarding for those who partici- pated in the Aspen Junior Hockey Club’s Midget and Junior divisions. Both teams finished high in league com- petition and placed among the leaders in the state. The Midget team, composed of 15 and 16 year olds, showed hustle and aggressive play that was the key to their strong year. The Juniors, a team small in numbers, was anchored by the experience of older players. Steve Kelley, Ham Tharp, Mike Edlin, Ken Kelley, and Kent Bowman, gave the Juniors the power to play well against any team in the state. Excellent coaching and conditioning gave both teams the incentive to play with enthusiasm and enjoyment. HOCKEY Female . . . But Fierce! 80 Brenda Carlson, Captain Varsity: L. to R. Front row: K.

Skiers Play In District Tournament “Basketball, when a certain level of unselfish team play is realized, can serve as a kind of metaphor for ultimate cooperation ., an exceptional player is simply one point on a five pointed star ...” This quotation serving as the basis for their philos- ophy; the girls’ basketball team maintained a posi- tive mental attitude and utilized discipline, guts, pride, and a devastating fast break in striving to achieve a championship team. 1 1 Pre-season polls picked the Aspen High School Skiers to contend for state honors, but 2 3 of the way through the season the Skiers were still work- ing for consistency. The wins were typically by large margins, while the players struggled to stay with the better teams in the league. Finally after a close Glenwood game, they seemed to get on the right track. They finished their league games in second place, winning the last four games, giving them a 6-2 record. In league tournament play, the Skiers, losing to the champions Carbondale by only one point, placed second which gave them a spot in the district play- offs. This gave Aspen the opportunity to play against Gunnison Valley’s top team. Three Aspen players, Pam Bonnett, Laura Perry, and Brenda Carlson were voted to the all-league team by season’s end. 81 Black And Red: Moving Ahead Junior varsity: Front row: L. to R. Coach E.

Dribble, Pass, Shoot!!! Looking Ahead The 1978-79 boys’ basketball season was filled with ex- citement and enthusiasm. The individual talent displayed by the Skiers, a senior dominated team, was probably the strongest in years. Greg Gerbaz, Pat Kelley, Ray Johnson, Mike Dalrymple, Tim Clapper, and Robert Thuillier all contributed their individual skills and efforts to make the team a unified group throughout the season. Two players made all league, and they proved to be among the best pairs in the league. Craig Weaver’s quickness, ballhandling, and outside shot combined with Randy Gib- bon’s height and inside strength gave the Skiers excellent floor balance. The Skiers displayed moments of brilliant play throughout the season but were plagued by inconsistency. They ended the league season in fifth place but were in contention for the league title up to the end. The junior varsity team, as the varsity team, showed much hustle and desire this year. They will form the core of what has every chance of being an excellent varsity team next year. Junior Varsity: L to R, Front row: M. Kelley. B Block, T. Saunders, J. Clapper, J. Gerbaz, O.

Races were held in many locations with the competitors accumulat- ing points toward “A” team membership and striv- ing for faster-than-ever qualifying times. Members of the team participated in slalom, giant slalom, and downhill; all ably coached by Peter Loram. Nordic skiing does not begin with first snow flakes but under burning rays of summer sun. Conditioning is a 4-season experience. Many ski team members joined the school cross-country running team to get in shape for their 10 kilome- ter races. Races were held weekly from January until March in mountain ski areas. From competitions a divisional team was chosen and sent to Junior Nationals to compete with skiers from around the United States. L to R: A. Pausback, Coach J. Jenson. M. Strong. A. Willc, M.

Student Senate began the year with bunches of enthusiasm. There are now 26 students involved under the direction of George Burson. Student Senate plays a major role by developing leader- ship skills in students. Primary concerns, such as a new sound system for the Commons, college days, and help- ing classes with fund-raising projects were pursued with success. Student Senate was organized to aid in giving unity and encouraging more student involvement in all school activities. “Students should have a voice in school social affairs” according to sponsor George Burson. Stines Sponsor, R. Mischinski “The Aspen High Times” is a new addition to the high school made up of 23 students who in one way or another contribute in creating our newspaper. They have done a great job fulfilling their primary function, thoroughly reporting on events which interest the student body and effect the youth of Aspen. In addition to reporting on all the current events, they provided special columns such as the “Billy Shears Lonley Hearts Club” and “Letters to the Editor”. The goal set and the goal reached was the publication of “The Aspen High Times” by the Journalism class. Left to right, front to back, G. Greiner, L. Parry, P. Bonnett, D. Rosbeck, L. Thurber. M.
