1 5 B 'Q Miss Betty I-lopkias M112 Aljewui Qpecml Reoogzwtiow Happiness was born a twin might well have been written to describe one of South's most gifted and intriguing teachers, Miss Betty Hopkins. As sponsor of South's Social Board since its inception, Miss Hopkins has always been willing to lend a hand, be a friend, and put a little something extra into the lives of all Rebels. A dentist father, a twin brother, an older brother and a 7'2 cousin helped to provide Miss Hopkins with a lively and happy child- hood. Born in Kansas City, she was brought up in Warrensburg, Missouri, and first be- came interested in science at Warrensburg High School. She earned her B.S. degree at Central Missouri State College and her M.S. degree at Colorado College. Six of her ten years teaching experience have been spent at South. A warm-hearted, energetic woman, Miss Hopkins has traveled to Hawaii, Europe, the Virgin Islands, Greece, and other parts of the world. She is a registered medical tech- nician, has sponsored a medical career club, and has taught ecology, biology and physi- ology. Her interests range from piano play- ing to golf, and she enjoys all sports includ- ing swimming, tennis, and skiing. Miss Hopkins lives a life full of adventure and love. She gives generously of her time, patience and friendship and asks nothing in return. She is straight-forward, simple and honest in her encounters with students and fellow teachers. For all of these qualities, we salute you, Miss Hopkins, and with apprecia- tion and gratitude present you with this SPECIAL RECOGNITION. Qpecml Reoogudiow An understanding smile and an over- abundance of patience and devotion are characteristics of the man who runs the I.B.M. office. Although Mr. Alfred Jenni's job as programmer is a demanding one, he always seems to find ample time for any student who may need extra help in choos- ing classes and schedules. Born in Pueblo, Colorado, Mr. Jenni at- tended high school in Leadville, Colorado. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Denver. He then attended the University of Colorado, the University of Wyoming, and the Colorado School of Mines for graduate study. Before coming to South in 1959, Mr. Jenni taught at Baker Junior High School. He went on to become one of South's most devoted counselors, which proved his great understanding and ability to guide students. In 1972, Mr. Jenni took the responsibility of a job few individ- uals would be able to handle. As program- mer, Mr. Jenni is in charge of setting up classes and scheduling the entire student body each semester. Mr. Jenni was sponsor of the class of 1962 as well as sponsor of the Rebel Rollers club from 1960-63. Although you may not find Mr. Jenni roller skating much in his spare time any- more, one might find him enjoying an even- ing with one of his three sons, along with his miniature dachshund, Moofi. Camping and fishing are just a couple of Mr. Jenni's favorite pastimes. Travel, however, seems to be at the top of his Most Enjoyable list. It is with overwhelming enthusiasm for your work, devotion, and time, that we be- stow upon you, Mr. Jenni, this SPECIAL RECOGNITION.

Every well-constructed building needs a good foundation, and this holds true in building an outstanding school. South's good foundationn was the Administration. Under the guidance of Dr. Erick Holland, Mr. Michael Huddleston, Mrs. LaRue Belch- er, and Mr. Calvin Seiler, South High once again achieved the excellent rating it has re- ceived in the past. Mr. Huddleston worked with Dr. Holland as Vice-Principal. Mrs. Belcher served as Assistant Principal in charge of Pupil Services, active in almost every part of school life, and Mr. Seiler rounded out the Administration as Assistant Principal in charge of Curriculum and Classes. The Administration was an essential part of the success of South High, and a group of people all students could respect and admire Mrs. LaRue Belcher Assistant Principal

She helps her students to make friends with all of the characters in literature. Many students have learned the value of an English course when they encounter this little flame-haired teach- er who calls the Scottish poet Bobby Burns. Mrs. Mclntosh has been at South since 1955. In addition to the regular English courses, she has also taught accelerated English and creative writing. Before coming to South, she taught at Horace Mann and Morey Junior Highs. Not only is she in- volved with her students but was sponsor of the Pep Club for several years. Over ten years ago she became involved with the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and has been active ever since. She serves on the Political Action Committee of that organiza- tion, helping to nominate School Board candidates. In what little spare time she has, Mrs. McIntosh enjoys traveling. In 1969 she took a three-month tour of Europe where she finally saw Westminster Abbey and fulfilled a dream. In past years she has often traveled to the National Education Association Delegate Assembly. Her hobbies include gardening, playing bridge, and playing the piano. You have earned our respect and affection through your boundless energy and endless dedication.
