in happiness in sports in song in disappointment 2 - Theme Layout: Lynnae King Layout: Sheila Mikita Drifting into the lazy days of summer, students find there is a place in the sun for everyone. Wild parties, crazy friends, staying out late, working long hours, traveling, and just lazing around at home are some activities that students at Calhan High enjoyed during summer vacation! Summer - 5 YEARBOOK Rises To The Challenge Layout: Bernadette Thomas Food is in Su 3 t Pee Wee Herman is in What am I gonna wear to- day? is the exasperated cry heard almost every morning. Fads are changing, and it is anything goes with bright colors and wild combina- tions. Seeing a person wear- ing two and three shirts is not uncommon. The layered look is in. Fads are going back to the 60s with long skirts, tank tops, and bright floral designs. The hair styles of today are slicked back, spiked up and side-walled - wild and crazy as can be. The only thing left is What will Calhan students wear next? i High spirits and exuberant memories will be held by court royalty, Grant and Michele. 10 - Homecoming Jodi Slattery and Preston Hollis were the heartwarming crown and plaque bearers for the 1986 Homecoming. Layout: Michele Wildeman The good times are just beginning for the excited court of Dana and Sue. ON THE WAY TO THE TOP Calhan's Homecoming was a memorable event for all involved. From the time the first bonfire flames flared, until the last dance of the night, everyone's spirits soared straight to the top. The parade be- gan the day with many floats being present- ed. Spirits flew as everyone laughed and enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian scenes. The next event was the volleyball games. The Seniors wanted more than anything to beat Strasburg, which they did. Happy spir- its filled the gym as Calhan defeated the Indian Team. Even though spirits were high, the football game ended in an incredible loss. Injuries plagued the Calhan Bulldogs and the game was not a success. The halftime activities proved to show a sense of pride as Tacy Wager and Chris Glaser were crowned queen and king. The feeling of being on top was felt by all the candidates, which includ- ed Sue Elwood and Dana Rasic, and Mi- chele Wildeman and Grant Names. Once the aftermath of the game had sub- sided the crowd of high-spirited individuals moved on to the dance. Everyone danced the night away, and as Seniors, those last few dances will be etched in our minds for- ever. Being a Senior and being involved in so much made Homecoming all that much more special. To the royalty court of Sen- iors the memories will be cherished forever. To think that next year we will be alumni brings tears to my eyes. But for those few precious moments, we were on top of the world. % ► i r i % Homecoming - 1 1 . A DEFLA TED SEASON Tackle, Rush, Score 1 2 - Football Layout: Kevin Miller mm Injuries Hamper Season Despite many serious injuries, coaches Rick Wellington and Ron Burkett led the Bulldogs to a suc- cessful football season. However, these injuries caused the team to forfeit the last two games of the season. Senior Dana Rasic suf- fered a knee injury in the Swink game. Juniors, Mike Hlatki, Rich- ard McClanahan and Jon Kessler were sidelined due to injuries. Cody Wager was clobbered during the homecoming game. Although a large number of injuries were sus- tained, the team kept their spirit and persevered, making a deter- mined fight to the finish. The atti- tude of the football team can be summed up in the statement, “You don't always have to have the lead, if you have the heart to come from behind.

First place trophies at the Simla Invite and at the Calhan Invite were excellent accomplishments made by the Calhan Bulldogs. Deep disappointments were reflected by the Bulldogs not participating in the State Tournament. The team will be losing six seniors from next year's team. These Lady Bulldogs include: Lisa Nelson (setter), Leanne King (hitter). Sue Elwood (hitter), Tacy Wager (setter), Brandi Mason (hitter), and Michele Wildeman (manager). All six girls made great contributions to the team. Coach Clark thought because the team had matured and worked well together that they had a tremen- dous season. Ms. Clark said, I will miss each senior very much. I am looking forward to next year! Congratulations to this outstanding volleyball team! — ■ CROSS £ COUNTRY I LIFTS OFF The Calhan Cross Country team lifted off with a new sport at CHS. With spirit and unity the team practiced long and lonely hours on country roads far from anywhere to prepare them for compet- ing with the larger districts. At the Ram- part Invitational, Kirk Mikita placed twenty-first out of 130 runners. Al- though there are no rules, Coach Paula Meyers told the runners to use their own judgement. Since this team fared well this year, the Calhan Cross Country Team plans to rise to even greater heights. _ 16 - Cross Country Layout: Keri Glaser B UMP SET SPIKE The Calhan Junior High Volleyball Team did a great job maintaining their winning atti- tudes even in the rare games where they faced defeat.

Boosted by a new, enthusiastic coaches, Mr. Mee (Varsity) and Mr. Dejong (JV), the boys were shaped up into a solid unit. Despite early losses the teams never gave up and continued to dedicate themselves to winning. Varsity members were shocked and disappointed at losing 64-62 to eventual state champions Bennett during districts. The teams re- flected with deep satisfaction on a productive season, which had begun with uncertainty.

STRIDING WITH PRIDE Run, sprint, stride, lean, pull. . . famous words heard when people are torturing themselves while participating in each of their events at a track meet. Track is a sport in which one spends countless hours running in circles, experiencing muscle cramps, and attending practice through rain, snow, or sunshine. Howev- er, track is not all pain and agony as one can tell by the results of the track meets. The boys ran to a second place team victory at the Brush Invitational. The girls captured a first place team tro- phy at the Canon City meet. Both teams claimed first place finishes at the D B Invitational.

Between money-making projects and working on the yearbook itself, the students barely survived. The students soon discovered that MONEY is the name of the game. Editor Keri Glaser stated, The production of this book took an enormous amount of effort, fund-raising, and time; never- theless, we have achieved our goals and hope that everyone will enjoy the new and exciting look that the 1987 Yearbook will have. Mike Hlatki takes it off at the Yearbook Pep Rally. JOURNALISTIC JOURNEY This year's journalistic journey was a long one. Students came to the class with no experience in producing a paper but learned quickly what was expected of them. The students were ex- pected to use good grammatical and typing skills. A few of the lucky people already knew how to type while the others used the hunt- and-peck method. The correction fluid flowed freely as did the imaginations of the young writers. The high school paper was given a new name by the Journalism students. The PAW PRINTS was a great success and sold well throughout the year. The students prepared the local newsletter, CHALK TALK, for mailing. A high point in the year was the Journalism Pep Rally. Leanne King, publication editor, com- mented, Journalism has helped me to develop and use my creative skills.

Lively music cutting the cold still air of night kept students on their toes so they could encourage their number one teams. Whether it was halftime at a Calhan football game or a time out at a basketball game, the Calhan Band was always there to take up the slack. The Pep Band conducted by Mr. Epps supported the teams by uplifting everyone's spirits and bringing enthusiasm to the crowd. Winter and spring concerts and the BFL Band Clinic gave thirty-six students the opportunity to provide the beat for all types of listeners. DO, RA, ME FA, SO LA, TE, DO!

The girls supported the teams with their ef- forts. The cheerleaders stood by through heartbreak- ing losses and tremendous victories. Calhan's pride is still soaring high thanks to the jour- nalism class, yearbook, Student Council, staff, and present and past cheerleaders. Each of these organi- zations put on pep rallies to rally up school spirit. With the help of a supportive community the varsity girls' basketball team was cheered to a state title by spirit and pride. SUCCESSFUL RALLIES HIGHLIGHT SEASON Mini-magazine - 55 � M. W V w • BASKETBALL SHOOTS FOR THE FUTURE Predictions are always made and people wonder what the future holds. This year's junior high girls' bas- ketball team exemplified the future of Cal- han Girls' Bas- ketball. With re- lentless efforts, natural talent, and dedication, the girls shot their way to a perfect season. 'X X X •v. ABOVE AND BEYOND and still united Despite being small in size and incurring a great deal of injuries, the Calhan football team man- aged to maintain and exemplify team unity. The long hard summer practices in August were the starting point in uniting this team. These men struggled together during those practices, com- plimented one another on every play, and stood by each other when those unfortunate ones were injured. Although the boys' record (3-4) does not show that they had a dominant, win- ning season, this team was definitely a unique one. The team had a few drawbacks, but TO- GETHER they stood and conquered these obsta- cles to form a united and long-remembered football team. TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST TOUGH PEOPLE DO REALIZATION of reaching their goals COURT COVERAGE . . . COMMUNICATIONS . . . With only one team standing in their way to posting a flawless record, the Calhan boys' ju- nior high football team met up with the almighty Ellicott Thunderhawks. Indeed, it was a tough match and the Bulldogs could not overpower the Hawks. However, tough times never last. The boys went on to conquer the rest of their opponents and established a successful and fine season record. 56 - Mini-magazine CONSISTENCY. These were the three moin goals of the high school volleyball team. With a first-year head coach, Ms. Clark, the team sat down at the beginning of the year and discussed three team goals in which they planned to work hard and dedi- cate themselves in order to reach. And so, the team did just that. The girls used the three C's in order to conquer every single opponent except one (Fowler) during regular season play. In fact, the girls beat the Limon Badgers for the first time in the history of Calhan. However, at district tournament time, the Bulldogs did not fare so well. The girls lost to Limon in the final match of the tournament. The girls lost to Limon in the final match of the tournament, but their three goals had been met SHA TTERING A PRESENT DREAM THE START OF A BRIGHT FUTURE So close, but yet so far. A dream come true, but at the last minute shattered. Yes indeed, the boys were so close to making a state tourna- ment appearance, only falling short of this goal by two mere points. Bennett Tigers were able to edge out the Bulldogs in the final few seconds of the district finals. The boys did not make it to state, but their successful season was an excel- lent preparation for what looks to be a bright future for Calhan boys' basketball. The Bulldogs record of 14-7 is evidence of what is in store for next year. With much returning talent, the boys are bound to continue their success. It must not hove been meant to be, or we wouldn't have lost to Bennett in the final game. Maury Keller STRIDING WITH PRIDE It took me three years, but I finally got it done. And it is worth it. It's the best feeling to be num- ber one in the State.'' Kirk Mikita Using his long strides, endurance, and deter- mination, Kirk Mikita sprinted his way to a state championship title in the 800 meter run at the Al State Track Meet. For three years Kirk has been edged out for the first place finish, but this year he was determined not to let that happen again. He was in fourth gear and cruised to a first place photo finish. The smile on his face showed the pride in his heart as he looked to the crowd to find his parents and see the excitement in their eyes as well. Another state champion roams among our Calhan halls as well. Steve Kunst soared his way to a first place finish in the high jump. Although Steve missed the competition itself, he came to the track meet late and jumped six feet and five inches to take the state title. Also placing in the meet was Maury Keller taking fourth place in the 110 meter high hur- dles and fifth place in the 300 meter low hur- ft ft ft ft A' ft ■ I W •V. ft ft ft ft � M Layout: Tacy Wager Mini-magazine - 57 Channel 4 ..Days of our Lives .

Angie Glaser Straight to the top 58 - Mini-magainze The year 1987 was a very hot year in popular stuff. There have been many changes as the year went by in the music styles of Calhan students. Each artist had unique ways of displaying his favorite style music. On the country music charts George Strait was a favorite with his album OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY. In soft rock, Janet Jackson's album CONTROL attracted a lot of at- tention. In heavy metal Bon Jovi's album SLIPPERY WHEN WET was played on both soft rock and heavy metal radio stations. In all, music styles and choices varied as much as those who listened to them. Each person had his own personal favorites, which changed from week to week. Although music proved to be a major part of many students' lives, cars remained the hottest. Driving around in an earlier model car dated between the late '50s or '60s was popu- lar. Attitudes, dress habits, and overall personalities re- flected the choices made in 1987. Kelli Morgan Layout: Sheila Mikito Layout: Kelli Morgan Mini-magazine - 59 Hawaiian print shirts, shorts, and sunglasses were the main attraction for the 1986 Home- coming Parade coordinated by the Student Council. To add to the list of accomplishments, Halloween with your favorite spook, Christmas with Santa Claus, and Valentine's Day with your sweetheart, these events wrapped up the dances for the year. Stuco's contributions to- ward school improvement included a new podi- um, schedule of events board, and a student store. To add to the confusion and excitement, Olympic Days, pep rallies and playing secret sen- ator concluded a busy year for the Student Council. Keri Glaser National Honors Society may not be exciting to some, but to the members of this elite group it is an important part of student life. NHS is for academically inclined students who are active in school affairs. This organization recognizes these students for their academic achievements and their willingness to take the challenge by keeping their grades on top. Being surrounded by other people who are academically inclined helps one strive for the best with a positive attitude. So to everyone's busy schedules a trip to town to see the CHO- RUS LINE was the only activity planned, BUT WE DIDN'T MAKE IT. Keri Glaser jU -' • -- 5 The way I see it. BUSINESS IS THEIR FUTURE! Future Business Lead- ers of America (FBLA) is a club for students who are interested in pursuing a business career. In Feb- ruary 1987 nineteen members of the Calhan chap- ter entered the District Six competition held at Pikes Peak Community College. Eight members and two voting delegates went onto the state com- petition at the Broadmoor in April. We are ex- tremely proud of our state winners: Jim Woolsey, 3rd place in Accounting II; Steve Johnston, 4th place in Accounting II; Dana Rasic, 7th place Mr. FBLA. The recreational activity for the year was a ski trip to Crested Butte. t Back Row: Steve Johnston, Chris Glaser, Alicia Glover, Maury Keller, Dana Rasic and Mr Johnston; Front Row: Keri Glaser, Angie Glaser, Sheila Mikita, Leanne King, Lisa Nelson, Sue Elwood, Tina Tunink, and Kristy Olyejar 60 - Mini-magazine Mrs.Romer closes FHA Conference.

FARMING IS THEIR FUTURE. Future Farmers of America (FFA) is an orga- nization designed to teach those stu- dents who are interested in farming careers. Members learn leadership qualities, agricultural and livestock abilities, cooperation skills and how to enhance themselves as citizens of the community. FFA is designed for more than just farmers. It gives you the chance to develop your qualities of leadership, cooperation and citi- zenship, said ag teacher Ron Bur- kett. Included in the 1987 school calendar of improvements was the press box, since the previous press box and bleachers were destroyed by fire in 1986. The FFA's moneymaking pro- jects included football and volleyball concessions.

LOAF N JUG 1025 5th Street Calhan, Colorado ; Congratulations Calhan School GRADUATES! -St Ads - 91 CLASS OF 1987 A bunch of rowdy Seniors, that's who we are. We're all unique yet rather bizarre, Each with his own separate talents The world needs our class to keep it in balance What will become of this class in a while5 Will they stay in this town or across the mile? What type of success will each achieve? Will their lives be a struggle or neatly weaved5 As for me, I look to the future and hope for the best It's time for me to spread my wings and leave the nest. Ten or twenty years down the line, Will we all keep our youth or look like Franken stem? When our reunion rolls around, Will we still be as rowdy in spirit and sound5 Who can forget all the memories we've made Will we remember the past or let it fade? I hope to remember and never forget The friendships I've mode which I will never regret. Only time will tell what lies ahead The world will continue like an endless spool of thread Keri Glaser
