1955-1956 ESTES PARK HIGH SCHOOL ESTES PARK. COLORADO 0De Uc tio t To Mr. Walter L. Edwards, who has unselfishly given of his time to make the Estes Park Schools a pleasant place in which to learn, who has competently taught many of us in the field of biology, who has successfully filled the capacity of superintendent of schools for the past four years, and whose sense of humor and friendly nature has made an impression which will follow many of us for years to come, we gratefully dedicate this 1955-56 WHISPERING PINE. 2 School oasict Behind the scenes of school life are three hard-working people who see to it that the school machinery is kept running smoothly. An excellent job was done in the'55-56 school year by Dr. H. W. Crowell, president; Mrs. R. T. MacCracken. secretary; and Byron C. Graves, treasurer. The entire school appreciates the time and effort put forth by this group in setting up and maintaining school policies. DR. H. W. CROWELL President MRS. HELEN MacCRACKEN Secretary MR. BYRON GRAVES Treasurer 3 s4ct Ki tt4 l4£i04l WALTER L. EDWARDS Mr. Walter L. Edwards, in his fourth year as superintendent, has quite capably administered the policies of the school board. His interest in sports and other activities has aided the spirit of the student body. Mr. Edwards served as biology instructor, in addition to his other duties. The harmony found in school this year was brought about by the conscientious work of Principal Brice Evans, now in his fifth year at Estes. He has assisted the student council and other organizations with his able guidance. Mr. Evans also taught a class of mathematics. Mrs. Bertha West started her secretarial work at EPHS on February 28, 1955, and has capably carried out her duties this past school year. BERTHA WEST Se U vi6 As Freshmen, the members of the class of '56 awaited anxiously for their senior year. Today, looking ahead with mixed emotions, they are anticipating many happy and challenging experiences in the years to come, but are saddened at having to leave the halls which have meant so much to them. In their sophomore year, the girls served at the Junior-Senior Prom, and as Juniors had their turn at giving a very successful prom whose theme was Gay Paree. Their junior play, Brother Goose. was a top performance they shall never forget. In their last year of high school the class of 1956 chose as their officers: Dick Newton, president; Ken Lambert, vice-president; Val Cameron, secretary; Cynthia McCracken, treasurer; and Betty Laws, student council representative. The class sponsors were Mrs. Elva Pollei and Mr. Albert Niznik. ELVA POLLEI Home economics, eighth grade crafts; sponsor, pep club; co-spon-sor, senior class.

The tenth grade organized a drama club which was the first of its kind since 1948. The class added a quirk of their own; to earn money, they gave a series of three plays for the public. The class of 58 was kept in rein by officers, Jack Whitt, president; Jim Seybold, vice-president; Roselyn Wilson, secretary; Sonja Sutter, treasurer; and Byron Graves, student council representative.

Fifteen girls were initiated into Pep Club on September 28-30. 1955. School spirit soared within the ranks of the organization throughout the year. The halls were decorated for each game and frequent pep rallies boosted morale. The pepsters. fn their purple skirts and white sweaters, maneuvered with the Pep Band at the homecoming game. The Pep Club presented the basketball team with a purple and white warm-up ball. 25 OUR BAND GAA started the ball rolling early this year. During the winter months volley ball and basketball tournaments were the main events. A fast moving baseball tournament and other sports filled the spring season.

The faculty chooses a panel, (which usually consists of two juniors, two seniors, and the champ of the week), on the basis of academic standing, combined with public speaking ability and school representation. They are taken to Denver to appear on the Jane Sterling show, “These Kids of Ours , where they discuss questions sent in by listeners. The American Legion Auxiliary sponsors the group, takes the kids to dinner after the show, and furnishes transportation.
