UN RELIE VES HARD WORK 5 Fun combined with hard work fills Middle School students' time. A trtp to the hills taught wilder- ness survival skills: one class took a bus to the Sand Dunes to study the flora and fauna. Mrs. Vanlwarden 's choir gave a concert of Spanish folk songs, recorded by Ruth Marte Colvllle. All songs were sung In Spanish with Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Chavez helplng In the pronounclatlon of the words. Afterwards. the cholr was rewarded for their successful concert with a trip to Taos, New Mexico. More fun. mixed with hard work, includes intra-murals tn boys' and girls' basketball: flag- football for sixth grade boys: spirit week celebra- tions before a big game. Teachers also make learning fun and funny. For example, Mrs. Harrl- son assigned her classes a theme to write on How to make a Peanut Butter Sandwich. The next day she made a sandwich based on student theme directions. She even had to spread the goo- ey stuff with her fingers as no one wrote .to use a kntfe. The most fun of all was to have the new Middle School library open with lots of new books and with a very helpful librarian. Someday we'll look back and say. We worked hard ln Middle School, but we surely dld have lots of fun. We had tt made. r 711 E 'Y i L, h f 5 r 4 W R lx! 1 ti 1 1 i . X 1 r Aw 4, we 'R-H LL ft' -.

For example, the members put red apples In each teacher's mailbox for the first day of school and assigned secret pals for each teacher: they have spon- sored the homecoming activities, cake raffles, Tiger- manla booth for basketball, and a Christmas formal dance. Also, their concern for the school has Involved them In such projects as helping to re write the dress code, attending school board and accountability committee meetings, and working for the Involvement of all stu- dents.

When the year began any glrl could be a cheerleader as long as she could pay for the uniform and spend her spare time practlclng. As the year went on, the glrls found that a squad a blg as thelrs was unwieldy and lacklng In strong leadership. Many of the girls quit because they felt that llttle was belng accomplished. After they narrowed the squad down to a reasonable number of girls they began to work harder and show qulte a bit more enthusiasm. The glrls are highly splrlted and very proud of what they do.

' The 1980-81 Football season was a bulldlng year for the Tigers. There are many underclassmen on the team, who showed excellence thls season. Steve Hicks moved to Del Norte this year and was named to Second Team Defense as a linebacker. Andrew Archuleta, a sophomore, was also named to the Second Team Defense as a lineman. Gerald Martinez, a junior, was named to the position of defensive back on the First Team. Ben Stuever was selected to be on the Flrst Team Offense, as a lineman. Junior Drew Telnert was elected Most Valuable Player of the San Luis Valley and First Team receiver. Mabelles Slsneros was the only senior named to the Flrst Team Defense as a lineman. To make lt possible for these people to be successful ln their posltlons lt took total cooperation from everybody on the team. We will have about thirty returning players for next year.

Both squads have shown very positive enthusiasm during the 1980- 81 season. Durlng the summer, the Varsl- ty cheerleaders went to a cheerleading clinic held In Boulder, Colorado. At the cllnlc, the cheerleaders learned many new cheers and chants. They also brought home several enjoyable Ideas that were used at Pep-assemblies for entertain- ment. They learned a dance routine and taught It to the Junior Varsity squad. The routine was then performed at the Home- coming Tiger Rag to the beat of Stomp , They also held a carwash In July, 1980. The money, that was raised, was used to help for the expenses for summer camp.

Between the scenes of the play several other talented students put on ollos, panto- mimes, and sklts to make the 1981 junior-senior play a very excltlng event 63 TIGERS DE VELO AR TIS TIC TA LENTS lf you someday hear a loud whine coming from Mr. Wallace's lndus- trlal Arts room, It really is not the students' crying: lt Is the sound of electric saws cutting through hard wood. Other excruclatlng sounds might be from drill bits, hammers, rasp of files on metal, Everybody is busy making something useful and decorative. ln their wake they leave the strong odor of freshly sa wed wood, This class may be tak- en by both boys and girls, but boys seem to have a special love for draftlng, bulldlng, and construct- Ing. Mrs. Kernenl Homemaklng classes are the classes most students like to take. lt could be because of the good aromas that come from there: and students know that If they were In there, they would get to eat delicious cooklng Instead of just smelling lt. Eating ls not all you do In Homemaklng. There's sewing and just not for girls: boys sew too. Everyone really gets excited to start sewing for his wardrobe, but It can get frustrating, when a gar- ment does not look like you want It to look. Homemaklng ls the chal- lenge of creating things for person- al satisfaction. Mr. Turja 's art classes appeal to the students who have a sensitivity to the beautiful. ln his classroom, the student has many opportunities to develop and express hls artistic tal- ents. Wlth paints, string, scratch board, decoupage, charcoal, Inks, the aesthetic person glves expres- sion to his creative impulses. Also Mr. Turja 's classes are fun because they are not organized rigidly. Stu- dents feel free to study each oth- er's projects and discuss their val- ue. Our work ls done some times wlth muslc In the background. This is a pleasant place and time whlle we enjoy our work. few c MQPZJW We if W it ed-1 Q xt'-,j . in X .s ff . , f 4 A .? -4 4. 2 'is 6'-unfi- . ,W 3 54, ,..-nn-- ' 1 6 - X ' is --0 ww 0 Y Q'if'?F1'L l 2 t. l i. 1 S wN . 95:55 .. ..,.-.
