earth a i r fire water 1963-64 whispering pine estes park high school estes park, Colorado published by the journalism class for the students and friends Earth, air, fire and water ore elements which provide the foundation, in foot, the very existence on which life depends One element which is not mentioned in physics or chemistry books along with the other elements but which also gives a firm foundation for existence is that of education. Years ogo an education was considered a luxury. Today it has become a necessity. Changing times have made it nearly impossible to compete in the world without a firm foundation built by an education. Maybe education should be broken down into a few more basic elements such as oxygen and hydrogen are to air The educational basics, the arts, humanities and science may be considered individual elements to complete the recipe for a well equipped prelude to life. This prelude should begin with the formula for a high school education. E4 M S2 H2 PE2 El4 , equals four parts of 4y English to one part math. Add to this, two parts of science, two of history, and physical education plus four electives. This book is one small element of education. It is an element developed for pleasure and it provides a record of memories of high school years.

One of the prime elements is a contemporary mathematics department. Mr. William Woodhams and Mr. William Pershern were the straw bosses of the two algebra I classes which started the students on their way to the higher levels of math. In the course of teaching, however, Mr Pershern had a few stiff moments and once had quite a start; Ron Renner, hair bleoched, walked into class and Mr. Pershern did not recognize him. Mr Woodhams hod a tense moment when Ed Hummer tangled with the slinky and the advanced math students, led primarily by Suzi Thompson, spent the whole class period straightening it out. Students in geometry studied the shapes of figures . . . figures on plane surfaces that is! They also got a big kick out of trying to do problems dealing with whiskers. science A new face and some new ideos came to the science department this year in the person of Mr. Bill Woodhams, physics instructor. Mr. Woodhams broke the usual routine in his classes and added a new program that could be called physics for fun. Miss Dorothy Green also had some interesting and exciting reports and trips in her biology classes. Bob Pohly presented a report on a 6,000 year old human fossil which was found on his family's farm in Oklahoma. A field trip to Moraine Park highlighted Mrs Ruth Gay s earth science classes The students were able to study lond formations and observe the scenery on this occasion. Throughout the year the students are given the opportunity to learn by exploring the many problems and projects of the world around them. journalism Under the leodership of Dove Spurgeon (top), mountaineer editor, and John Guse (bottom), whispering pine editor, the school paper and annual were published for the students of E.P.H.S. In addition to jobs on the staffs, the class showed qualities of journalism through fiery editorials, keeping dirt out of the humor column, hot air out of news stories and themselves out of hot water' Last minute rushes for news, rewrites, sizing headlines and proofreading were all part of the work. Eoch member of the class wrote a variety of material and did a variety of jobs. No one will forget the thrill of seeing his first story in print or the privilege of a by-line. miller curio co. ondersons wonderview cottoges alpine shop Williamson's toggery and bootery Mrs. Rena Mrs. Jackie Mr. Robert Roberts Hoback Kirby english Communication between people is the most important factor in today's society. The English department is designed to help develop the students' capacity for communication through speaking and writing. Students learn through studying the literature of our country, other countries and grammar. In the grammar section the students are taught structure and expression in the best possible manner and they learn through building their vocabulary. Mrs. Rena Roberts teaches junior and senior English. Junior students are drilled over the fundamentals and American literature. In the senior English closs Carole Dean acted out her favorite commercial, cheerios. Mrs. Glenno Dannels and Mr. Robert Kirby took the two freshmen English classes this year. Mrs. Dannels felt that her English students got a few lessons in art appreciation because her class was held in the art room. Mr Kirby also taught sophomore English. These courses in English were to aid the students in communication now and throughout their lives. 9 homemaking Today's changing world makes it quite necessary for people to have preparation before spending their lives in the world. The homemaking department provides much of this preparation for girls through the elements of food preparation, ettiquette, better management, better business, budgets and sewing. In sewing, the high school girls learned to fully line garments. Karen Williams ond Dona Browning won't forget how to take out stitching and sew it over until perfection is reached Formal debates were held and skits were presented. The girls debated on the advantages and disadvantages of going steady which proved interesting because the girls going steody were for it, and those who don't weren't! 10 driver’s education Driver's education, a one semester course, offers the student the opportunity to help eliminate some of the traffic problems of today by teaching the proper driving techniques and habits. Throughout the year the students spend their time both in and out of the classroom While in class the students spend time preparing for situations which might be encountered on the rood. While driving the students learn how to properly operate a vehicle under the guidance of Mr. Al Walin, the driver's education instructor There were, however, a few anxious minutes during these driving sessions. Janet Schuett, her first day driving, ran into the ditch and Linda Petrocine gave some of the teachers a laugh by stalling the car in front of the teachers' lounge. This year the driver's education car was a 1964, metallic blue, Bel Air Chevrolet, given to the school by Davidson Chevrolet of Loveland, Colorado. Mr. Al Walin _• 1 Mrs. Jean Tanguoy foreign language ter re, a ire, fuego, aqua New and valuable facilities have been mode available to the students in the new school. One of the biggest and most useful of these is the foreign language department. Completely equipped with the newest devices, this lab offers the students oil the newest techniques for learning French and Spanish. Mrs. Jean Tanguoy, language instructor, taught both first and second French ond Spanish classes. There were times when she was listening to students individually, when, insteod of heoring the lesson she heard remarks like, “Dave, did you get your math done Some of the students who belonged to the Spanish class had more than just a casual interest. Jim Watson and Bruce Fulton were especially mindful after traveling deep into Mexico. 12 hawthorne brush and supply co. johnson's dry goods mr. and mrs. r. I. mccrocken national forest tours social studies People should olwoys hove on idea of the nature, customs, habits and people of foreign countries. These things give the students a fuller understanding of the problems and pastimes of others. Miss Eugenia Tuttle, world geography teacher, opens the doors to many countries where students learn of the climate, lands, government and hobits of others. Mr. Ray Northcutt gives an interesting light to the history of America and the world He also teaches advanced social studies, a senior course, which has as its prime objective the enlightenment of the students to the social problems of the world's people. Here students study the relationships between the people and their government and religion. 13 14 commercial business These symbols should be familiar to many of the shorthand students but for those who did not take this course, the characters mean earth, air, fire, water. These are the elements which make up life and shorthand is just one of the elements that make for a well rounded course in business education. Typing, bookkeeping and office practice complete the department. These principles, important parts of business,familiarized the students with actual business situations and the bookkeeping class dealt with octual transactions of big business. Statistical records were kept and office procedures were performed. Shorthand taught fast, occurate methods for taking notes. All of the courses give the students the necessary training for jobs in commercial business. Mrs. Mary Thomas library Andy Sible had his nose in From Zero to Infinity ; Barbara Stathom wos browsing through a history of Aku-Aku ; Lindi Snort untwisted The Twisted Tales From Shakespeare and someone was asleep. This very well could have been the picture one got as he entered the library this year. A good portion of the library is devoted to reference materials including dictionaries, who's who, encyclopedias, scientific books and many other books and pamphlets which can be used for research and reports Fiction takes up a large section of the library. Many magazines and other periodicals arrive in the library each month to bring the students interesting and educational material. Some students took on permanent jobs as librarian assistants. Kothy Wood, Linda Jo Schroeder, Jeanne Janou-sek and Barbara Schofield were student librarians this year. Throughout the year the art I, II, III and IV students leorned while enjoying art in many forms and results were displayed in the student center. Just as days were spent with students studying and gaining knowledge, days were spent learning with fun. Finger painting day proved to be a wild and messy one with everybody ending up with paint not only on paper but on themselves. Students modeled, posing for the art class throughout the year. Bill Chambers was rather embarrassed at the idea of walking through the halls in his modeling clothes (cut-offs and a sweatshirt). Posing of another type was done by three freshmen girls; they posed as angels. Students used various forms of expression in their study as well as creating out of clay, soap, wood and other ingenious inventions of their own. Mrs. Glenna Dannels Mr. Don Griffith industrial arts Mechanical drawing and shop, with Mr. Don Griffith at the reins, make up the industrial arts program at E.P.H.S. Students from the seventh grode on are given the opportunity to create useful and decorative items. One of the major goals is teoching students to use tools and machines safely as well as efficiently. In the shop classes, first and second year, students ore given a taste of many different handicrafts which for some may develop into permanent vocations. Leather, plostic, wood, metal and many other elements are forged into interesting pieces of workmanship. Wayne Van Slyke and Jim Anderson, shop foremen, aided Mr. Griffith with the classes by helping him help the boys with their work. The students coped with many problems, such os Steve Eiker's table with a top too small for the body. It is imagined that Steve went back and studied the ruler a little more Mechanical drawing students are taught the basic skills of drowing. Students in the first year class learn the fundamentals for drowing and then pursue more difficult problems in design and engineering. Students in drawing II go deeper into the field including architectural drawing and a few of them, such as John Guse, developed blue prints for a house and other difficult projects. Freshmen Walt Vanatta and Gary Cleveland express new enjoyment in working with wood. 17 physical education Dry would not be o very good adjective to describe the physical education department according to many of the p.e students. Through experimentation the conclusion has been drawn that the new showers moy be fancier than the old ones were but they're just as wet We imogine that a few of the eighth grade boys even tried them with their clothes on, probably not willingly. All kidding aside, the p.e courses offered at E.P.H.S. provide a program which is of the utmost importance, os more emphasis is being placed on physical fitness. The p.e. classes help develop physically and mentally as well as teaching all around sportsmanship and athletic techniques.

Sixteen year old Ian Mader arrived in Estes Park in January from his home, Nuriootpa, Australia, on the Rotarian student exchange program and will remain here through January of 1965. Ian and his personality blended perfectly with the student atmosphere and he began participating in activities immediately upon his arrival Shortly ofter he came, Ian presented the student body with a boomerang which he brought from Australia. Ian joined the junior bowling league in January and shortly afterwards began skiing, both for the first time. My stay during the first half of this year has been a very enjoyable one. The people whom I have met here have been extremely friendly and helpful to me, and I would like to thank the people who have given me assistance. I would also like to thank all the students for the way they have accepted me into this school and for their friendships.

In the past year the Lions Club has donated to the school over $1200 which helped purchase a wrestling mat. This mat initiated a program which provided the opportunity for greater development in physical education and intramural sports. The Rotarians brought to Estes Park Ian Mader, foreign exchange student, from Australia. Ian carried to America new and exciting ideas and experiences which helped acquaint the students with his own country. Bringing him here gave him the opportunity to learn the American way of life. The Stars of Tomorrow program presented each year by the Kiwanians gives the student a chance to entertain and compete, os his talent merits, with other students in a regional, state and nationol program. This may give him the advantage of experience and a future. These three clubs are representative of many other organizations and individuals who have added something of great value to the school.

Members are given the opportunity to participate in such sports as basketball, soccer, softball and many others. All of these make for enjoyment and good times as well as good physical conditioning. Besides the usual sports events, the girls take port in hikes, horseback rides and swimming parties. During the early foil and summer months, the members of g.a.a. try to get outdoors.

Enhanced by oriental dress and hair-dos, Lost Horizon was a serious play, but The Mouse That Roared with all its satire and quickness provided a variety. In both plays performers were given the chance to disploy their talent, but were able to gain poise and composure through hours of practice. 66 assemblies Many exciting and unusual assemblies were presented to the student body including yoga, wheel chair basketball, white Christmas and the weekly pep assemblies. Both informative and entertaining, students thoroughly enjoyed a break from the usual routine. sugar shack Lindi Snort ond Bill Wotson were crowned royalty of the homecoming dance sugar shack which brought o close to the homecoming festivities on Friday, October 19.
