FOREWORD The purpose of this WHISPERING PINE is to permanently record the happenings of people you have known and the events that have taken place during this 1953-54 school year. May you find in this book pleasant memories and lasting interest. THE WHISPERING PINE 1953-1954 Estes Park High School Estes Park, Colorado Estes Park School 1908-1909 This little school boasted one teacher and 44 pupils during the school year of 1908-1909. Miss Lillian Kepner taught the first four months of the school year at $60 a month and Miss Mamie Wolfe taught the remaining five months at $65 a month. There were 21 boys and 23 girls in attendance at the time, representing the first eight grades. Our of these 44 pupils, Mr. C. F. Hix, Mrs. C. N. Rockwell, and Mrs. Doris Byrd are still residents of Estes Park. Mr. Warren Rutledge was president of the school board from 1906 to 1909. Mr. H. E. James replaced him in May, 1909. Sam Service was secretary and Mr. C. H. Bond was treasurer. 2 SCHOOL BOARD The members of the Estes Park School Board gave willingly of their personal time, meeting at least once every month, in order to give us a better and happier school life this year. The Annual Staff wishes to express sincere appreciation to the Board members for their efforts in supervising the affairs of the school. Mrs. Helen MacCracken Secretary Dr. H. W. Crowell President Mr. Byron Graves Treasurer FACULTY The nine members of the 1953-54 faculty worked hard and long hours to bring the students the greatest possible advantages in pursuing their education.

S ADMINISTRATION Mr. Evans, our principal for two years, works with both students and faculty to make school life function properly. A great many problems and duties surround Mr. Evans, but he undertakes them with ease and carries them out efficiently. Two math classes are under his instruction. Mrs. Walter Edwards has been temporarily employed to compile financial and attendance records of the past four years. This work is related to claims for federal aid for our school district. Miss Colleen McAvoy assisted Mr. Edwards, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Fawley with secretarial and office work throughout the school year. She proved herself to be most efficient in this capacity. Superintendent Walter Edwards needed no introduction this year to the majority of students and teachers, who worked under his supervision here last year. He has done a splendid job carrying out the school board policies as well as gaining the respect of all his staff and students. In addition to his many duties, he instructs a class in biology. £ DEDICATION The WHISPERING PINE staff thoughtfully dedicates this 1953-1954 WHISPERING PINE to you, Mr. Brice Evans. You have directed the affairs of our school in a most democratic manner. Your foresight and wisdom, your friendly attitude and your ready sense of humor have won for you the respect and admiration of all Estes Park High School students and faculty. 7 CUSTODIANS Beanie hard at work. This year EPHS lost one of it's favorite staff members. Mr. Vernon Bruce was forced by illness to resign from his duties as custodian. Beanie not only kept our school clean, neat, and in excellent repair, but was always ready to give a helping hand in our many extra-curricular activities. He will be missed by the hundreds of students and faculty members who have known him these past twelve years. COOKS Our staff of lunchroom cooks gave us fine nourishing meals throughout the year, helping with special meals for the football players before each game. Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Sievers, Mrs. Hoffman. 8 MOUNTAIN SKIES IN MOUNTAIN MOULDS If you would know the spirit of the mist and the sombre lure of the gray clouds, you must go to the seashore when the storm hosts gather, and be a comrade with the darting gulls and the lashing waves. If you would know the true glory of the sunset, and the sympathy of God's coloring, then you must seek out the mountain crests to stand alone with Nature in her gorgeousness. anonymous _____ c SENIORS Of the eighteen Seniors graduating from Estes Park High School this year, four of them started together in the first grade.

And deep streets shaking to the million river: Manhattan, zoned with ships, the cruel Youngest of all the world's great towns, Thy bodice bright with many a jewel, Imperially crowned with crowns . . . Who that has known thee but shall burn In exile till he come again To do thy bitter will, O stern Moon of the tides of men! 2S FOOTBALL Sept. 11 Estes 7 Eaton 13 18 Estes 0 Ft.

They limited all but one team to a 7-point difference. The Bobcats took third place in the conference, dropping to the second-place team, LaPorte, 6-0. The worst defeat came to the Bobcats by dropping to Timnath, the first-place team, 13-0. The happiest victory for the Bobcats was the homecoming win over Erie 40-6. Estes Park met these squads with their new and colorful suits, purple and white jerseys, with red stripes on silver pants.

Lo, the Turquoise Horse of Johano-ai, How joyous his neigh! There on precious hides outspread standeth he; How joyous his neigh! There on tips of fair fresh flowers feedeth he; How joyous his neigh! There of mingled waters holy drinketh he; How joyous his neigh! There he spurneth dust of glittering grains; How joyous his neigh! There in midst of sacred pollen hidden, all hidden he; How joyous his neigh! There his offspring many grow and thrive for evermore; How joyous his neigh! 55 BALDPATE INN ESTES PARK PLUMBERS Where Hospitality is King” Congratulations Class of’54 Plumbing - Heating - Repairing Phone 2-W - Highway 7 Antique Reproduction and Repairing Routed Signs Phone 35 PINE KNOT WOODWORK SHOP Maurice B.
