Mrs. Mary Thomas Adtnitoiit'lGiiiQSl BaanA oi education Of great importance to any school is the Board of Education. It is this group which considers and approves all school policies, and which is responsible for the operation and financing of the schools. Estes Park has long been fortunate in having well qualified and understanding people on the Board of Education. Certainly the Board members who have served during the 1949-50 school year measure up very well. With Dr. J. 0. Mall, as president, Mrs. R. T. MacCracken as secretary, and T. C. Jelsema as treasurer, the Board has shown much interest in and understanding toward the needs of Estes Park High School. Students of the school recognize and appreciate their interest and helpfulness. ROSE E 0 BRIEN Mrs. Rose E. O'Brien, a graduate of Portsmouth College, England, is the bustling, efficient school secretary. Besides handling these demanding duties, Mrs. O'Brien helped with both of the class plays this year. CARL B. FRANZEN Carl B Franzen, our superintendent of schools, is perhaps one of the busiest men in EPHS. Besides co-ordinating the school board, the faculty, and the student body, he is the Physics instructor. Because of his capability and co-operation in handling these taxing duties, Mr. Franzen has easily won the respect of all who come into contact with his pleasing personality. faculty ri q ROBERT W TURNER Robert W. Turner is one of the most efficient and conscientious members of our over worked faculty. He very capably manages the responsible and demanding position of principal and also teaches elementary algebra. Mr. Turner handles his thankless job with his mind on the welfare of students and faculty, trying to co-ordinate the wishes of both. fyacultu During the past year, the faculty of Estes Park High School has worked tirelessly to educate and guide students in the various fields offered for study. The teachers have co-cperated to the utmost of their ability with the various time-stealing extra-curricular activities and they have always been only too willing to help those who help themselves. Their active interest in our school and its students has made the high school the fine institution of learning that it is. To these fine people we extend our appreciation and cooperation.

This year has been one of the busiest and most fruitful in the active history of the Class of 1950. The class sponsored “Sadie Hawkins Day’’ in November, and in rapid succession followed the New Year’s Eve Dance; the movie “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn ; and a baked food sale. Then late in January the Seniors continued a tradition started by the Class of ’49, and staged a successful Amateur Night. In April a melodramatic farce, “Seven Keys to Baldpate” was presented to a large and appreciative audience. The money accumulated from these various enterprises paid for an enjoyable Senior trip throughout the Centennial State. Mrs. Mabel Bessemer and Mr. Henry Goertz sponsor this class.

The Class of ’51 is an enterprising group which has taken an active part in all school affairs. Among the various activities in which they participated in the past school year were the class play, 'Out of This World”; the annual Homecoming Dance, (at which they raffled off the homecoming football); and an old-fashioned box social and square dance. The big event of the year, as far as the Juniors were concerned, was the Junior-Senior Prom. As for the future, the class is looking forward to the Senior trip of next year.

In November they sponsored a square dance for grades nine through twelve. With the expenses of their Junior year in mind, the class of ’52 tried several money-making schemes, among them concessions at some of the home games. Last big event of the year was a Sophomore-sponsored high school picnic in May. At the end of the year the Sophomores paid tribute to the Senior Class, by decorating for commencement.

The team fought its way to the top of the conference and finally lost to Limon in the semi-final game. The strong Estes squad started the grid season with a bang by defeating Akron 27 fo 0. In the two following weeks the Bobcats dropped two very close games to Ft. Lupton and Ault. The Bobcats secured the conference title by defeating LaPorte and winning over a favored Timnath team. Estes pushed Eaton around their own field to take the first game in four years from the rival Reds. Windsor and Johnstown both fell before the Bobcat team on the home field. The Bobcats remained undefeated on the home field throughout the season. In the state preliminary game the Bobcats fought an evenly matched Armistice Day game with Lafayette. Richard Becker drove across for the only score of the game. Gene Brough did beautiful running throughout the game. A favored and heavier Alameda team pushed the Bobcats around the home field during the first quarter and drove across for one touchdown. Gene Brough ran 45 yards on an end sweep to tie up the score early in the second quarter. Jim Scott pushed an Alameda back into a punt and the ball rolled into the end zone for two more points. Neither team scored in the rest of the game although both teams threatened. Estes won the Quarter-final game 8 to 6. Line, left to right: Havens. Right End: Closs. Right Tackle; Scott.

During the first half of the state semi-final game in Limon’s “dust bowl”, the Limon team pushed two touchdowns across on spread passes and interceptions. During the remainder of the game both teams were evenly matched. The final score was Limon 12, Estes 0. Two Bobcats were selected for the allstate team this year. They were halfback Gene Brough and tackle Jim Scott. Twelve boys from Estes were picked for conference honors. Estes boys on the all conference first team were Bob Odell L. E„ Jim Scott L. T., Roy Sutton L. G., Don Guertner R. T., George Havens R. E., Gene Brough F. B., and Jim Glendenning Q. B. Those chosen for second team honors were Bill Grove R.

The team started working out late because of the extended football season, and the late start plus some stiff competition placed the Bobcats in sixth place in the North Central Conference. The B squad fared better, however, and promises to be a powerful team in the near future.

The following week the team traveled to the Aggie Invitational meet, where they gained a great deal of experience but met with very little success. Bill Grove placed fifth in the discus throw, giving the Bobcats their only point. At the District Qualifying Meet the Bobcats placed third. Eleven men were qualified by winning a third place or better in their event. Those who qualified for State were Bob Odell, 440; Bill Grove and Jim Strosnider, discus; Dick Holt, broad jump; 880 relay team; and mile relay team Jim Strcsnider made a third place winning throw in the State meet in the discus. The Mile Relay team, composed of Becker, Glendenning, Kassahn and Odell, placed third. The Bobcat track squad looks as though it has great possibilities for a successful season again this year. Five lettermen returned this year to help the Bobcats along, with many new prospects. The Bobcat thinclads are well outfitted; much new equipment having been added, including warm-up suits, pants, jerseys. Back Row: Jim Scott, Richard Becker. Bruce Harbert. Second Row: Don Guertner, George Havens, Gene Benedict, Roy Sutton. Front Row: Bob McConnell, Bob Odell, Gene Brough, Bob Willingham, Bill Grove. Bobcat decals and football schedule pencils were industriously sold by the members of the E Club at the beginning of the year. A few weeks later Gene Brough was elected president of the organization with Bob Odell as vice-president; Bill Grove, secretary; and Bob McConnell, treasurer. John Kessler was elected to represent the club in the Student Council. Shortly after the close of the basketball season, this club sponsored a Junior High School Basketball Tournament, with all the junior high teams in our conference and several others invited. Near the end of the year an intramural track meet was held by the E Club in which all the classes in the high school competed for honors in lightweight and heavyweight divisions. Qibli' S Club Girls’ E Club is the governing body of Girls’ Athletic Association, and is composed of the girls who have earned their letters. From the E Club are chosen the outstanding girl athletes. The E Club is quite small now, but with more girls receiving their letters, it promises improvement within the next year. Officers in the club are: Mary Tighe, president; Phyllis Montgomery. vice-president ; and Elva Kassahn, secretary-treasurer. Rack Row: Markley. Morgan. Baker. Oallaher. Kindred. Bennett.

Perhaps the most important accomplishment of the Senior High Pep Club this year was the new uniforms, which include purple and white jackets and skirts plus purple beanies, which give an impressive look to the Club. The Club has shown a lot of pep at the football and basketball games this year. It financed a bus to Limon for the semi-final football playoff game. The usual initiation was held at the beginning of the year, and for most of the pledges, it proved very rugged. Initiation week was culminated with a pledge dance. Cheerleaders for the group are Faye Anson, Sally Altick, Joyce Stehlik, and Betty Brodie. Officers are Kay Markley, president; Carol Copeland, secretary; and Mona Morgan, treasurer.

There are six major sports in which the girls participate when tournaments are held: soccer, volley ball, basketball, tumbling, softball and track. The first tournament was in soccer, with teams called the Glacierettes, Be-Boppers, and Kittens. The Glacierettes and Be Bcppers tied for the championship. The second tournament was in volley ball with Gold Diggers, Volley Marvels, Racoons, and Fillies as teams. The Fillies won the championship. Basketball was the third tournament, with Scotties, Felines, P-J's, Siz-zlers, Boopsies, and Tornadoes as teams. In March an award day was held so the few members who didn't receive awards last year might receive them before spring. On April 1, the club sponsored a playday, inviting girls from ten valley towns. They played games and had lunch at the McGraw Ranch. Officers of the organization are Lynn Kindred, president; Mona Morgan, vice-president; Lucille Hyatt, secretary; and Wanda Coley, treasurer. Activities Mountaineer Published Weekly; Gains Popularity During 1949-50 VOL. XXI 1949 - 1950 Mountaineer Staff Confers With Editors Kstes Park High School’s official publication, The Mountaineer, set a precedent the past school year by publishing a compact, highly informative newspaper each week, instead of the customary monthly edition. Led by Kditor-in-Chief diaries Smith, the staff of journalistically inclined students received considerable favorable comment from students, faculty, and community, regarding the improvements in the school newspaper. In addition to changing to a weekly publication date. The Mountaineer’s size was contracted into an 8Vfc”xll”, easy - to - read newspaper, which appealed to student and adult alike.

The Mountaineer and Quill and Scroll have been under the capable sponsorship of Mrs. Ethel M. Polling, and in that time have risen to dominant positions in the life of Estes Park High School students that are interested in journalistic work. All work done in the past year by The Mountaineer has been made possible by the unselfish and devoted support by the local merchants and businessmen, who, through membership in “The Mountaineer Booster Club ’, have given financial aid to the paper, and enabled it to remain in good financial condition throughout the year.
