A Cr 'O On 5? estes park high school estes park, Colorado class of 1963 shadows... Have you ever seen a picture which doesn’t contain any shadows? If you could see one, you would notice how unrealistic it is, with no perspective. Life is like a picture. Shadows are essential to add perspective and reality. Certainly all the events in anyone's life are not going to be bright and happy. Sometimes it takes grief and sorrow to mature a person, to cast a shadow over the gayer events. You don't very often see pictures without shadows, just as you don't very often find lives without sorrow or sadness. But yet, all the shadows in one's life are not cast by unhappy events. Just as an object casts a shadow in a picture, or as a body casts a shadow in the light, every person met during a lifetime casts a shadow of memories, of hours spent together, of laughter... and tears, shared with friends. This book presents a record of a school year. It will evoke memories of people, places, fun, laughter, and yes, even unhappiness. But yet, as a part of life, it's a good picture to have. In later years, they'll be good memories to have, too. Pictures and names, successes and good times, school life and extra-curricular events are included in this story of student life, but it can't begin to show the many people who have unselfishly worked long hours planning, writing, and taking pictures for it. These people deserve credit for a job well done, as do the businessmen associated with our community who, through their generous support, made this book possible. Just as we’ll remember the hours of work spent on the job, this book will provide students and teachers alike with a record of the school year, and in later years will bring forth memories of many happy hours spent with unforgettable friends. the editors, Rena Roberts for: understanding and sympathy, inspiration and guidance, making students go beyond ordinary requirements, teaching them how to be people and to think for themselves, having a sense of humor, being a good sport, work above and beyond the call of duty. In short, for being a truly great teacher, the Whispering Pine staff is proud to dedicate the 1963 edition to you. class of 1963 MRS. RUTH GAY math, science MR. ROBERT KIRBY enelish MRS.

In English classes, a working knowledge of the language is gained through the study of fundamentals and actual application of these fundamentals is made in writing experiences. In speech, these fundamentals are used in verbal expression. In either mode of communication, we are always judged by how we speak and write. Aside from studying the grammar of the language, the individual learns appreciation of literature and the importance of keeping oneself informed by reading. journalism... The journalism class is a working class where the school paper the Mountaineer , is published every two weeks and the annual. The Whispering Pine , is published every year. Students in this class gain a great appreciation of the printed word and become more discriminating readers. They learn principles of journalistic writing and English skills, and put them to practical use in the two publications. Work is done entirely by the students who learn the importance of individual responsibility. adrian electric estes park barber shop language. . . Modern marvels of transportation have broken down time barriers in travel from country to country. It is often stated that our world is shrinking, and because of its tremendous “decrease” in size, many Americans are brought in contact with peoples of foreign lands. Because of this, it has become increasingly important to study foreign languages in the modern world. Through a study of a foreign language, an individual gains an appreciation of foreign countries and cultures and an inside look on the world situation by comprehending the problems of other peoples. His knowledge of this spoken tongue may prove invaluable to him in many situations. mathematics. . . In our science-minded world of today. mathematics is an essential, for it has been called the language of science. Students in these classes learn how to put problems in logical sequence; how to separate fact from fallacy; how to separate the necessary from the irrelevant. Aside from this, everyone comes in contact with money during his life, and needs math for budgeting and wise use of it. science... The world we live in is rapidly becoming more science-minded as every year passes. Because of this emphasis on science and all the fields it encompasses, the study of such subjects as biology, physics, and chemistry are becoming increasingly important to study on the high school level. In taking these courses in high school, the individual is benefited in many ways: he develops an understanding and appreciation of the advances made by modern science. even though he does not necessarily become a member of this profession. He gains knowledge of himself and the world around him, learning through research and study to look for his own answers, not accepting those given to him by others. park oil company anderson's grocery business. . Business subjects, including typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice, benefit students in later years. Not only are they prepared for a profession, but they also continually use their skills in school and personal communication in the future. Instruction in the operation of complicated machines is also provided. social studies... Only by facing the volatile issues of today and by probing those of the past, can we conceivably cope with an ever-demanding future. This is the ultimate objective of the field of social studies. music. . . The music department in this school is organized with the purpose of making the student realize that a background in music will always serve him and help him better appreciate good music. Whether or not he makes a career of music is not really important It only matters that he learns the elements of good music which makes him a more discriminating listener. industrial arts. . . Industrial arts is the interpretation of technology and our industrial culture. It is closely allied to science and helps students understand the practical nature of the theory in areas such as the arts, sciences, and mathematics. Students learn safe practices in handling tools, machinery, and materials; they become aware of value of proper procedure and quality; they learn to do a job correctly and carry it through to completion. estes park hardware estes park t. v. library. . . The library is a materials (books, pamphlets, maps, clippings) center for the school. It is not only a source of research information and pleasure reading, but also a '.tudy center. Many are unaware of the fact that our library serves as a training center for student librarians, who receive a full credit for doing library service. These people, while required to study material and pass tests every six weeks, gain valuable knowledge in the use of the library. art. . In art classes students are provided with instruction in the fundamental skills. Interest in art and consciousness of the part that it plays in the culture of the country are stimulated. The individual gains a medium of self-expression and a creative hobby for leisure time. Learning is strictly individual and each person progresses at his own rate of speed according to desire, interest, and ability. bon appetit r. t. maccraken chorus. .. KV home economics. . In order to keep pace with the changing aspects of home and family life, a home economics course today necessarily must be comprehensive. In a modern course, not only the techniques of food preparation and clothing construction are important, but also such aspects as child-care, family psychology, time management, selection of consumer goods, social practices and home care of the sick are necessities for a well-rounded education in this field. physical education. . . The ultimate aim of physical education is to develop and educate the individual through the medium of wholesome and interesting physical education activities, that he will realize his maximum capacities, both physical and mental, and learn to use his powers intelligently and cooperatively as a good citizen, even under violent emotional stress. This aim is carried out through physical activities which provide learning situations in human growth, development and behavior. Through these activities an individual gains knowledge of various skills and worthwhile character development: skills which can be used as hobbies and relaxation during leisure time; ability to both lead and follow, and to accept responsibility; acceptable social standards; self-confidence; powers of observation, analysis, judgment, and decision; development of essential health habits, knowledge, and attitudes. griffith lumber kings casuals drivers education. . . With the increasing number of highways, automobiles, persons licensed to drive, and deaths from accidents, driver education is gaining importance in the high school curriculum. In this class, knowledge, skills and attitudes for safe driving are developed and safe, efficient use of the automobile is promoted. The objective of a course such as this is to develop skilled, responsible drivers who are well-informed on traffic problems and situations which can be encountered in driving an automobile.

This year the two publications of EPHS, ’’The Mountaineer” and the Whispering Pine” have both shown a fine quality of journalistic and artistic creativity.
