For the past five years her readiness to help and her endless patience have rated her Supreme among all of us. Sc aoC SwtW Board of Education members Dr. H. W. Crowell, president; Mrs. Helen MacCracken, secretary; and Mr. Byron Graves, treasurer; have efficiently guided our school finances this year. They have charge of the selection of the faculty, finances, and school policies. The members meet often and keep in close touch with school business and affairs. Many people do not fully realize and appreciate the efforts and work involved in supervising the affairs of this school. s4cCrtti u4tnatio t Mr. Brice Evans needed no introduction to the students this year when he began his position as principal of our school. A pleasing personality and fairness in decisions gained for him the friendship and respect of the students and faculty members. Miss C. B. Milner assisted Mr. Evans in his many office duties throughout the year. Mrs. Rose O’Brien acted as secretary during the first half of the school term. However, this position was taken over by Miss Colleen McAvoy at the end of the first semester, when Mrs. O'Brien accepted a position with the National Park office. As superintendent of Estes Park Schools, Mr. Walter Edwards, a newcomer this year, quickly established a lasting position on the honor roU” of EPHS. His contributions and interest in activities and sjxjrts helped raise the school spirit during the two semesters. 4 'Pate Left to right- George Dersham, art editor; Dick Wilson, business manager; Wanda Turner, editor-in-chief; Mrs. Ethel Bolling, sponsor; Helen Rockwell, associate editor; Donna Sherbenou, advertising manager.

An active Student Council represented the classes and organizations in semi-weekly meetings this year. Locker inspections were conducted through the year and some parties were sponsored by the group. Revisions were made on the constitution early in the year to better student government. Sponsoring drives, such as the Red Cross Drive and a clothing drive, kept them busy in their extra moments. On Tuesday, January 27, the annual Leadership Conference convened. The Student Council not only helped with this but also equipped a new social room next to the auditorium. Another project taken up by them was editing an orientation booklet late in the school year. This will be finished next spring and will be handed out to new students at that time. 41 cuut Se U vi %o Ke t cCc Waitresses: Lois Haller, Anita Low, Sharon Nigh- swonger, Nancy Lancaster, Helen Rockwell, Kay Mc-Kelvey, Barbara Dersham, Dianne Berner.
