• 0 0 0 0 m the LeCfinninCj, Nineteen hundred fifty and fifty-one will go down in the annals of EPHS as the year of the faculty play, of the organization of a Bobcat wrestling team, of the inauguration of the square dance program, of Mr. Hall’s fabulous mustache, of the mimeographed “Mountaineer,” of the high school journalism class. It has been a year of joy, a year of sorrow; a year of tun, a year of work; above all, a year of learning. It was the first year of war in Korea; the first year in six that has seen Estes Prrk High School boys leave their school to defend their nation. Finally, it has been the last year of high school for the class of ’51. Tw'enty-seven young men and women have ascended a hill in the winding path of life. This year the “Whispering Pine” is divided according to the three seasons of the school year; fall, winter, and spring. These changes in seasons have brought about not only changes in weather, but changes in the lives of all of us. • • au i icJtaal b-0-an.d met and decided Behind the scenes of high school life, three hard-working individuals have kept the school machinery running smoothly.

Class officers are Beverly Lenhart, president; Terry Smith, vice president; Bonnie Ramsey, secretary-treasurer; Laurel Lee Enyeart, student council representative; and Harold Smedley, sergeant at arms. 044A itu ent aaue'inmettt The student council worked diligently this year in promoting the ideals that are expressed in its constitution. One of the outstanding ideals is loyalty of all students to Estes Park High. Among the various projects that the student council promoted were a square dance club, the installation of a telephone for the use of students, the regular inspection of lockers, development of a point-merit system, March of Dimes and Red Cross drives, and a better class-budget system. To carry out the work, the students chose Bill Bennett, president; Carol Morehead, vice president; and Jean Bennett, treasurer. Cleanliness committee inspects lockers Standing: Rundquist, Sawyer.

The Akion eleven squeezed by the Bobcats on their own muddy field by a score of 12 to 0. Wearing their new uniforms for the first time, the Estes gridmen defeated a lighter Yuma eleven and during the following week tromped the La Porte Pirates. The Louisville Pirates held the Bobcats to a 6 to 6 tie at the half of a game played there, but the Estes team rallied in the second half and won 26 to 6. At Timnath the Estes squad was not so fortunate and the thrilling game ended n a scoreless tie. The fast-charging Loveland Indians scalped the Bobcats, giving them their worst defeat of the season. The Bobcats met the Lafayette team at home in their most important league game. The heavy Lafayette team won a hard fought battle by thirteen points, leaving the Bobcats in a tie with the Timnath Cubs tor second place in the conference. i •M 'f'?U ■; --‘'r.vj, i 1 tlJlt— v i dcate bo-asid Estes _ 0 Akron . _ 12 Estes _ 12 Yuma - _ 0 Estes _ 28 La Porte _ _ 0 Estes 26 Louisville 6 Estes _ 0 Timnath 0 Fstes 0 Loveland 47 Fstes ... _ 0 Lafayette 13 Line: Havens.

Individual classes beautifully decorated their homerooms under a plan outlined by the student council. The traditional Rotary Club tree was erected in the auditorium-another tree was decorated and placed in the lower hall, while a third was placed on the landing upstairs.

I Again this year outstanding students of EPHS were invited to take part in Jane Sterling’s radio program, “These Kids of Ours.” Gad Smith, Carol Lawrence- Norma Shideler, Bob McConnell, Richard P slinger, and Lynn Kindred participated in a discussion of timely problems broadcast over station KOA on the evening of January 17.

The first dance was held Tuesday, September 26. Dick Montgomery unselfishly gave his time to call the dances on the first and fourth Tuesdays of every month. There have been fine turnouts of seventh and eighth graders and many senior high school students at each dance. Those who have attended show promise of future skill in square dancing. wtie jjaaU The Class of ’53, sponsored by Mr. Lloyd, will have many pleasant memories of its Sophomore year. The Sophomores sponsored a party for Estes and Louisville students after the Bobcats’ first basketball game. A second party was staged after basketball season.

The project was undertaken by the newly formed journalism class, which used the mimeograph machine in the commercial room to produce the paper. Helen Montgomery was selected editor in chief of the Mountaineer, and under her direction the first edition appeared on October 6, 1950. Carolyn Phelps, was managing editor; Carol Copeland, art editor; Gad Smith and Jerry Brunz, first page editors; Dick Eslinger, second page editor; Joyce Stehlik and Norma Shideler, third page editors; Bill Bennett and Gad Smith, fourth page editors. Mrs. Bolling sponsored the paper.

Bill Bennett, editor of the annual, distributed assignments to the members of the staff, while Richard Eslinger supervised the advertising department. Mrs. Bolling sponsored the annual. Several underclassmen also contributed their time and talents to the Whisper ing Pine. Wanda Turner was assistant editor of the production.

This year's award brings the paper fourteen points nearer the prized first place. Staff of the Mountaineer hard at work to meet that deadline. QUJi AMD SCO Members of Quill and Scroll, International Honorary Society of HighSchool Journalists, chose Richard Eslinger to lead the group this year. Richard follows in the steps of John Fonda,last year's president. For vice-president the group chose Carolyn Phelps. Carol Copeland received the office of secretary,and Helen Montgomery filled the office of treasurer; Bill Bennett was also a nember of this honorary society.ICrs .Bolling sponsors the group. In January, Horma Shideler,Joyce Stehlik, and Gad Smith, having net the requirements of the organization, were initiated into Quill and Scroll. To qualify Cor Quill and Scroll, a student must be in the upper third of his class, and be outstanding journalistically. Early in the school year, the high school journalism class began a study of the fundamentals of writing and printing a mimeographed paper. This method was new even to those students who were associated with the printed paper of last year. Two staff members were assigned to edit each page. The jobs of securing the news and writing it in readable fashion were assigned class members by the managing editor. Page editors were in charge of assembling news for the phase of reporting covered by their individual pages. The dum-ied pages were then typed on a stencil, and in the final stage of production, the stencil was run off on the mimeograph machine by members of the production staff.

At the Aggie Invitational meet, Bruce Har-bert placed third in the light-weight high jump, breaking the school record at 5’ 6”. In the conference meet the Bobcats placed second only to the Timnath squad. The District Qualifying Meet proved that there were several men on the Estes track squad who were outstanding enough to qualify for the state meet. Bob Odell ran third in his 440 at State and Bill Grove placed third in the discus, giving the Bobcats a total of six points in the meet. The Bobcat track team should be hard to beat this year with its returning lettermen and speedy new prospects. 'uou can't take it uuilt you This year’s senior play, “You Can’t Take It With You,” by Moss Hart and George Kaufman, was one of the highlights of the year for the entire community.

Nebraska. Junior Year In this, their final year at EPHS, the twenty-seven members of the senior class were unusually active in all school affairs. Twelve senior boys made the school football squad. On November 25, the class sponsored a successful Sadie Hawkins Dance, and on February 21 presented the annual Amateur Nght. On April 6, the seniors presented the hilarious comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You ” by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. The traditional senior trip, late in May, climaxed the year for the class of ’51.
