I' Whispering Pine - 1965 Park Junior-Senior High Estes Park, Colorado Published by the Journalism Class Thank You, Estes Whispering Pine 1964-65 is dedicated to many individuals and organizations that made this new school a reality. Our sincere gratitude to the school board members who had the foresight to purchase the land on which the school is located os well as later boards, to the Citizens Advisory Committee and the many townspeople who voted in the bond issue which brought into existence what had only been a dream. Several scenes familiar to the Estes Park student now will always bring to mind happy memories. Estes Park Plumbing Calico Kate's Palmer Agency Mobil Gos Places seldom seen empty and quiet by most students include the library, student center and lunchroom, top pictures Below No snow seems bad enough to keep students away from their greed for learning.

Above ore Mary Ellen Anderson and Bonnie Petrocine, attendants. Joyce Crowley Reigns as Queen To be Whispering Pine Queen is to be o girl who likes people, one who embodies friendliness and poise, fun and knowledge Sophomore Joyce Crowley, the 1965 Whispering Pine Queen, truly meets and surpasses all requirements. As an osset to the school, she has succeeded as honor student, cheerleader and treasurer of her class Her warmth and humility are immediately noticeable as one meets her and, in all—she's a very nice girl to know. Senior Mary Ellen Anderson and Freshman Bonnie Petrocine are Joyce's attendants. Active in school activities, Mary Ellen is GAA president and Bonnie is president of her class. They, like Joyce, constantly display the qualities of helpfulness and courtesy to all. Only classes that gained a 100% sale of Whispering Pine annuals last fall were allowed to nominate candidates Ballots were cast by all classes in the junior and senior high Queen Joyce received the first copy of the yearbook on Purple and White Day. Education Forms, Builds and Shapes Friendships are molded in the high school years that often remain intact throughout life Our personalities grow as we exert our own individualistic tastes. We are not only individuals, but ports of groups, classes and clubs whose forms ond codes teach us the value of organization and sharing In the intellectual field, form blossoms forth in the shapes and colors of art, the geometric figures and algebraic equations of math, the cycles of history, the tenses of verbs in languages and the many forms of communicating man s feelings and ombitions through literature. In science we see the life cycles and classifications of plants and animals. In music harmony and different styles and types of music ore forms which make our lives more pleosant. Physical training and excellence through sports are all a part of the vast category of form. Form is not on irrational term—it applies to all aspects of life in which we as human beings work together . FORMING High school years are the formative years, years in which we lay foundations which will be built upon each day as we encounter new experiences. Our education in high school is shaped not only by book-learning, but also by participation in group activities such as class endeavors, sports or political discussions. In every phase of life, form emerges through the experience of living Contents Dedication 2 Faculty 6 Fall 7 Departments 8 Football 20 Activities 23 Winter 27 Organizations 28 Basketball 40 Wrestling 43 Student Life 45 Spring 47 Seniors 48 Juniors 53 Sophomores 57 Freshmen 61 Junior High 64 Track 68 Activities 69 Supplement 73 Faculty Helps Mold Student Character Learning takes the form of fun in EPHS classrooms Students are grateful for teachers taking individual interest. For example, Mrs. Roberts' choice of Around the World in Eighty Days os all school play encouraged students to read more Verne novels. Mrs. Tanguay smiled, hearing over her earphones, Are you planning to go to Friday night's dance? During coverage of the Revolutionary Wor, Mr. Northcutt referred to Thomas Jefferson as Old T. J. —which made history more human Mr. Gilliland summarized the feeling of all— Yes, we can do the best—I know we can. He was discussing building a good chorus but this is the spirit we admire in our teachers. With understanding, our foculty is able and does look at each closs, not os a present problem, but as a future promise.

Molander, Jock Schlendorf, Leon Sweetland, William Finley and Rod McConnell decided such important matters as providing school busses from Pinewood Springs and Glen Haven, adequate salaries for school employees, having after-game socials in the gym and generally showing interest in every phase of student life.

Communication Is Taught Through English and Speech Forming the basic English background needed by all pupils often becomes strenuous. This could be the reason that Mrs. Rena Roberts, junior and senior English, Mr Robert Kirby, freshman, sophomore and eighth grade English and Miss Gail Oliver, seventh grode English, try to find new ways of interesting their classes. Ployboy's version of Mocbcth was read to the senior English closs after a full unit of feverishly studying the play Heated debates arose in the sophomore English closs during the Presidential campaign Jim Watson, Kathy Wood, seniors, and Mrs Mary Thomas, librarian, presented poetry interpretations to the seventh grade English class to help the students understand and enjoy the poets' work. Classes Learn Tongues of Other Lands The Eiffel Tower, poodles, long loaves of bread, bullfights, sombreros and mantillas—these and other visions are conjured up in the mind when one hears the terms French and Spanish but to the language student these terms mean today's Spanish test or tomorrow's dictation. Varied means are employed to teach the students A visitor to the language closses might hear singing, recitation of poetry or repetition of tape recordings. Laughter might also be heard, for speaking in another language can sometimes be amusing After a few weeks students begin to grasp the meaning of the sentences Mrs. Tanguay zips through so effortlessly. Susan Jackson can be seen studying for Spanish dictation but there is olways manana to study. Mrs. Jean Tanguay can often be heard saying, Forget English here; island is spelled i-s-l-o.

While physics students Pat West, Paulo Kessmger, Suzie Weldon, Tom Gay, Danny Hurd, Bob Pohly and Doug Janousek are working on a lab, Bob Bartlett gleefully experiments with the shower cord. Slide rules, compasses and rulers are the essential materials needed to produce geometric figures and solve math problems. Students in geometry, algebra and physics find Mr Woodhoms' ability to laugh with them at their failures and successes alike the basis for understanding and real learning. A cardboard polyhedron or a soda straw parallel piped or a baffling puzzle add sparkle to a math program living, not dead. Chemistry students, under Mr Pershern, have learned to work out problems for themselves and have developed a great respect for the open book test . R. T.

Home Arts Girls Learn Grace Making fashions, serving food properly and learning correct methods of child care are all fields of study for the girls in home economics. This year, to help in all these areas, students planned activities such as a party for preschool children and their mothers during a child development section. A fashion show was presented by the home arts students displaying the garments they had made. The first time HELP appeared on the blackboard students wondered if they should rush to the aid of Mrs. Woodhams.

Boys Find PE Stimulating With the help of Bill Lambert and Richie James, Mr Al Walin conducted grades 7 through 10, boys'PE classes Guys of the jr. high classes thought it was amusing to watch Archie, a name given to Richie, and Bill trying to teach a new sport. Mr. Walin stressed to the boys that not only is physical development important but that teamwork is also necessary. Girls Find It Reducing Girls' PE classes, grades 7 through 10, were instructed by Miss Dorothy Green. Patti Termin, Glendyne Beemer, Paula Kessinger and Susan Jackson acted as the assistants, showing the younger girls what they had gained from HPER. Girls especially like the warm-up exercises because of the effect they have on weight. Several girls lost the PE class one day but after a happy reunion vowed never to wander again.

Formidable Bobcats Take District Title Forming a formidable front, the Estes eleven pushed their way through one of the most successful and exciting seasons EPHS has ever seen There was many a frightening moment as Bobcats were afraid a teammate would become disoriented and head the wrong way with the ball but the pigskin always arrived safely at the right goal. Some of the Bobcats'main problems were jitters before the game, not being able to replay Limon, laps, having to shave their legs, and for some, long sessions with the whirlpool. The most pressing complaint of the mothers was the dirty uniforms In football, however, there was never a dull moment; tape fights, kicks” in the shower room, kidding Coach Walin about basketball and just plain fun was rampant among these merry ranks.

Amid the Allahs, screams, outlandish costumes and beanie ribbons, the big sisters try to loy the foundation for the little sisters' later years in Pep Club. Rolling peanuts with their noses, corrying mountains of books or polishing shoes of upperclassmen makes all little sisters complain loudly—and have the times of their lives. No initiation would be complete if they did not have to propose to at least one teacher and one upperclassman.

Newsmen Cover Beats The active journalism class not only tramps out news beats ond writes for the Mountaineer newspaper, rushes to meet deodlines for the Whispering Pine annual, but, in addition, learns the proper mechanics of journalism. They may be seen scurrying not too silently from one ploce to another or languidly lurking in the halls on the olert for news. Journalism, however, is not all work. One would need only listen to the earnest or humorous discussions, watch the good-natured joking or a paper sock of cookies in circulation miraculously disappearing ond participate in a “deadline party to realize that this class is one of the most well-rounded ond beneficiol.

Band Embodies Work and Fun Both feet flat on the floor, sit up straight and I'll guarantee you'll ploy 100% better, was a phrase often uttered in band by director Mr. Gilliland. In music, too, form is important, not only in posture, but in harmony as well. Scales, drills, marches, overtures— these and other forms of music were diligently practiced. Reward for hard work showed up at Bond Day in Boulder when the marching band received a number one rating. Band had its lighter side too. How different were the reactions to Riffin' the Blues — groans from the flute and clarinet sections, cheers from the saxophone and cornet sections. Don Spurgeon directing with wild wav-ings of his arms, the understanding laughter over wrong notes, the grimacing over a clarinet squeak were all a part of the life and fun of band.

Heading the class of '66 for the freshman year was Carl Haroden with Butch Adams as vice-president. Secretory was Carol Fryer and Mary Roh-mann took the treasurer job. The freshman year was found to be definitely different from junior high years. Butch Adorns moved up to president for the sophomore year. Greg Dannels was elected vice-president while Paula Kessinger received secretary's honors and Jan Montgomery was treasurer As sophomores the class of '66 found it rather chilly to have a car wash in mid-April but, never-the-less, they made a profit. In May as sophomores they ordered their class rings which they received in early fall of 1964. This year the elected officers were Bob Pohly, Ken Rowe and Mary Rohmann.

Eighth Grade Builds on Examples The eighth grade is a form of friends and has the shape of a great class. As a class there may be arguments but this shows the spirit of every member of the class of '69. Some of the common sayings around the eighth grade lockers are: What class is next? Did you get your homework done5 or What did you get on the vocabulary test? There have been many examples by which this class lives, such as the fine teachers who have shown them how to develop their skills or create new ones. Eighth graders are watching senior high students so that they will know what to expect when they ore freshmen the next year and will be representing the school in such things as athletics and band.
