Estes Park High School - Whispering Pine Yearbook (Estes Park, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1966 volume:

In each of us- ln each of us is the wish to gain something from high school whether it should be book learning, athletic ability or social prowess. These signs, remnants of life at EPHS, are everywhere though they sometimes pass unnoticed. All students experience them. All mix the elemental subjects of math, science, English and electives to brew four well-rounded academic years which are in turn spiced with sports and social activities. This is really spending a fruitful time of life doing the things we like the most. Many of us do not know yet exactly what complete responsibility is, and until we have it we will not realize fully how much we actually did gain in high school. What is a teenager really like? He wears burgundy cords and helps play hi-jinks every spring. He likes to see a teacher laugh, to get an A on a test paper. He likes to be motivated, to feel that he is appreciated, to be involved. He likes to feel alive.

Young they were, with all of youth's aspirations and expectations. Realizing only a few, they hoped to achieve all. Someday they would be adults with responsibilities and privileges not conferred upon youth. These two boys walking their road to manhood have replaced that journey with another and now walk a different road. We mourned the loss, but our lives cannot stand in suspension. Because of their contributions to our school, we remember Don Spurgeon and Jerry Peck. 4 A . . . class spirit classes 5 . . . a concept of the future Seniors take advantage of a quiet study hall in the library by studying, reading and maybe daydreaming. In each of us—varying degrees of dedication, friendliness, pride in our school and in ourselves, the hope that seniors have learned something from class discussions, sports, projects, things that we would never have learned entirely from books. Finally this leg of the journey is over. Seniors were led well by Butch Clifton, Dan Hurd, Paula Kessinger and Linda Jo Schroeder, but their job as class executives also has terminated. This has been a year full of surprises: haircuts just before a game, as Ron Renner could tell; shocks that sometimes accompany college board tests, as Tom Gay may describe; the realization that this was the last year at EPHS for the seniors. The important things now are the goodbyes, the tearful, joyful, regretful or thankful goodbyes. Now we must look to the future.

They ore the wealthiest class in EPHS and this may be attributed to the fact that everyone shared the responsibilities involved in the work that had to be done. The junior class set a record this year in raising money from concessions. A spring car wash and the selling of pens also brought in revenue to be spent on Prom. Larry Lamblin sold fifty-six pens which was the class high. In short this has been a profitable year for the juniors. They are looking forward to their senior year with both anticipation and apprehension, but none of them seem really worried over the duties that will be assumed with senior status. They will succeed just as all other classes have succeeded. Mr. Kirby was delegated the job of giving the junior class a guiding hand.

The sophomores began the year with a fall car wash which added needed revenue to the treasury. Piloting the class of '68 through their second year of high school were Patty Hurd, president; Ernie Petrocine, vice-president; Gayle Clifton, secretary-treasurer and Phil Rohrbaugh, Student Council representative. These students made it possible for the class to accomplish their goals. Mrs. Rena Roberts has been the advisor of the sophomore class this year.

For the class it meant roller skating at the YMCA. Often for Chuck Makinster and Brad Ebel it meant riding bicycles to school, packs on backs. For Dave Thompson it meant donating guinea pigs and pack rats to the biology department For most it was the enjoyment of the last moments of the little kid routine before entering high school Developing the worthy quality of leadership were the eighth grade class officers: Jim Hackett, president; Cynthia Haynes, vice-president; Terri Adrian, secretary; Frank West, treasurer; John Atwood and Greg Smith, Student Council representatives and Ruth McGraw, president of the Junior High Student Council. 24 Parent Teachers Association President Ruth McGrow led the Junior High Student Council in 65-66 Left row, from front to bock: Bruce Crowley, Rocky Tollman, Cam Ebcl and Jim Hackett.

It was realization by all of the importance of remembering things such as bringing gym suits to P.E. and the location of the next class. It contained many memories which will remain with the class of'71 This challenging year began with the election of the seventh graders' first class officers.

Mr. Squires and Mr. Patterson carry on a lively converse tion at the Homecoming dance. In each of us there is a longing for learning and academic improvement. The faculty of Estes Park High School is attempting to bring to the students the chance to satisfy this hunger. Now, more than ever, we are being presented with a wide range of teaching techniques and subjects. This year has been one of change in both faculty and administration. New instructors of math, science, social science, English and home economics have provided us with the opportunity to broaden our fields of study. Our new principal, Mr. Robert Squires, and Superintendent Mr. Luther Patterson have successfully attempted to further student - administration relationships with a combination of firm authority and amity.

The modern problems class helped students' understanding of current events which were made much more interesting by various field trips and guest speakers. Mrs. Jean Tanguay was aided in the teaching of French and Spanish by a student teacher, Miss Helen Jackson, who added much to the classes. The language classes sponsored the annual Fiesta-Fete, trying to acquaint others with French and Spanish foods, customs and dress. The English department was divided into many semester courses instead of the former four one-year courses for the first time this year. This change added to the curriculum and was appreciated by many of the students.

Dave Schlendorf, however, did not think of the stools as being musical because he kept falling off of his. Mr. Don Griffith found there was always Ray Gilbert's humor to liven the atmosphere when things went wrong Miss Katherine Dolcater added patience to the home economics curriculum this year. Even so, the temptation to throw a tantrum was often quite strong. When an oven inconsiderately bakes a batch of cookies to the consistency of cast iron or when Butch Clifton and Greg Dannels help gobble after-dinner mints before dinner, some tempers had a tendency to snap. In each of us there must be patience. Above: Wayne Michael, Tom Dike and Ken Rowe discuss the procedure of a shop assignment. Below: The mechan ical drawing closs studies a complex problem.

With the use of such a variety of materials monumental disorder could be foreseen, but the most noteworthy mess was made in fingerpainting. Journalism students were stimulated by Mrs. Glenna Dannels to learn new things. With prodding, Jerry Miller learned how to focus the camera and that pictures of the floor aren't terribly exciting. Other things happening this year were a field trip to the Denver Post and Ann Perney and Wayne Michael taking the course without credit because there is an appeal to journalism that, once tasted, can never be forgotten. . . . creativity Beginning journalism students learn the basics of newspaper writing through experience with the Mountaineer 37 H.

An innovation in the business department is the work-study program in which a student may work in a secretarial job without pay. This gives the student a welcome opportunity to use what he has learned, as Linda Niebur can confirm. In each of us is the hope that Mr. Al Walin, drivers' education instructor, will always exhibit as much patience as he has this year.

The girls' P.E. classes have participated in several new activities this year such as square dancing, fencing and hand polo. Miss Doby Green has been assisted throughout the year by several aids: Mary Jo Rose, Jane Thompson, Sally Schultz, Janet Schuett, Linda Williams, Glenda McKee and Patti Termin. Otherwise, this has been a year just like any other year, and, as usual, in each of us there is a strong dislike for showers. Mr. Al Walin was helped by Butch Clifton, Dale Fry and Butch Adams in one of his P.E classes. These three belong to the privileged group of students who have learned the problems that teachers have to either solve or ignore. 39 These bond members represent the instrumental endeavors of EPHS Pearson, Bart Dannels, Rand Kleckler, Phil Rohrbaugh, Top row: Mike Williams, Jim Gibson, Gary Gilliland, Steve Schlingman, Greg Dannels, Roxy Kleckler, Debbie Meyer and Dennis Don Holmes, Gary Cleveland, Greg Rosener, Paul Rohrbaugh, John Klein Hurt.

Because of decreased enrollment caused by class conflicts in band this year, it was scheduled as an extracurricular activity with practice sessions before school. There were different reactions to this, but the prevalent one was, Band practice at 7:45? I don't even get up till 8! There was one outstanding case of early-morning fumbles heard when Jim Gibson dropped the cymbals. In spite of all the detriments, however, the band showed itself able to put on a good performance at the autumn band clinic. Proving itself worthy of Mr Jerry Gilliland's time and effort, the Estes Park High School Band won a superior rating at Band Day in Boulder. Students and adults alike were proud of the band's outstanding marching performance and sharp appearance.

Developing a sense of rhythm and tune demands patience, discipline and perseverance. Chorus has shown that teenagers do possess these qualities. The rewards of training are intangible but their results may be seen in the satisfied expressions on chorus members' faces: Roger Boll after finally reaching that lowest note in Shadrach , Janet Schuett after following the alto tune to perfection and all members after completing a moving performance for the students of EPHS or for the people of Estes Park. Mr. Jerry Gilliland was also very proud of the chorus this year and was proud to be the leader of it.

This quiet, unassuming man has succeeded this year in the formation of Estes Park High School's new guidance program A wide range of tests were given to students of all classes this year, many of which entailed sitting two long days in the cafeteria. The juniors took several tests of achievement and the seniors were given many aptitude and ability tests. Gray Jewelers L. C.

In each of us there is the hope that we can better our school. Student Council was able to contribute more this year to student activities, such as the development of a student jury with the help of Judge William C. Wilson and a Snowball Christmas dance. Building a decorative fountain in the student center was chosen as a project which would be economical and still beautify the school. Bobcat booster pins were sold by Council members to help finance activities. Under the able leadership of Frances McGraw, president; Mike Drennan, vice-president; Linda Williams, secretary-treasurer and Mr. Pat Flynn, advisor, the Council achieved closer contact with the student body. 45 In each of us is the knowledge that maintaining a good academic record is important for our future and for our lives today. National Honor Society was led by President Paula Kessinger, Vice-President Frances McGraw and Secretary-Treasurer Pat West into new activities this year. New members were initiated in April instead of May so they could participate in the NHS convention in Boulder, which the EPHS chapter helped plan. This was to show that Honor Society could be a more active organization. Those credited with enough industry and talent in journalistic endeavors were honored with membership in Quill and Scroll. This is the only international society open to high school students, and its membership requires much merit. Members of National Honor Society include Glendyne Beemer, Goyle Shertzer, Paula Kessinger, Frances McGrow, Don Spurgeon, Mory Rohmann, Mary Beth Harris, Becky Radtke and Patti West. ... of scholarship Selected members of Quill and Scroll chosen on the basis of their outstanding work in the field of journalism are Miss Marilyn Greenwalt, Patti Termin, Mary Beth Harris, Glendyne Beemer, Debbie Koenig and Joyce Crowley. 46 Honor Society members meet together to plon for future activities os well os discussing the importonce of education in today's world. . . . with stamina GAA promotes fitness for its members.

The driving force behind the Girls' Athletic Association is the desire to make good athletes from interested participants and to satisfy the want for exercise that lies in each of us. Once each week the members enjoyed an hour of fun activity in the sports of soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, archery and tennis. Under the direction of Miss Doby Green the group sponsored a dance and went on various junkets such as ski trips. Officers of GAA were: Patti Termin, president; Lea Boothroyd, vice-president; Paula Kessinger, secretary-treasurer; Debbie Meyer, point recorder and Suzle Weldon, Student Council representative. 47 Graves Gas Company Glick's Western Wear Gilly's Lake Estes Drive Inn Pep Club is designed to influence girls to develop standards and ideals of high quality and to support athletic teams, to promote school spirit, to develop sportsmanship and to represent EPHS as well as the town of Estes Park.

This year the Bobcats knocked Erie and Wiggins out of the running for the championship in two hard-fought battles, winning only by a few points. The Estes Bobcats went through conference undefeated, beating Ber-thoud, Erie, Wiggins and Lyons but losing two non-conference games against Louisville and Granby. After fighting their way through the league Estes met the Limon Badgers on their home gridiron. Estes, rated the underdog, battled the Badgers up and down the field and beat them in the statistics but were defeated on the scoreboard 6-0.

One such event is Homecoming This year, after an exciting football game in which Estes Park defeated Erie, an atmosphere of peppermint sparkle and red lollipops reigned as Debbie Poglia and Kenny Rowe were crowned queen and king.

In each of us this year has been the wonder if this would be like just any other year. It hasn't been: names and faces and a few of the situations make it unique. The memory of these things will stay with us through our lives. A teenager laughs and cries, talks and is silent, is interested and ignored. Only when he steps into later life will he realize what he really accomplished in high school. We, the students of Estes Park High School, would like to thank the teachers and friends who have been so much help to us in our academic and social endeavors The Whispering Pine Staff would also like to thank all who have aided us in financing and publishing this yearbook.
