Dedication In memory of Mr. Howard Douglas, Custodian at Estes Park Jr.-Sr. High WHISPERING PINE 1970 VOLUME 41 PARK-JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH ESTES PARK COLORADO High School Unfolds in Unlimited Dimensions Dimension (di. men shun), n. 1. Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height, thickness, or circumference; 2. The quality of extension; magnitude; hence, scope; importance; as. a project of large dimensions. High school is a project of large and many dimensions. For a seventh grader these dimensions stretch ahead, promising six years of knowledge to be absorbed, friends to be cultivated and memories to be made. For a senior the sum total of his high school years now comprise one of the numerous dimensions of an anticipated full life. For a teacher, high school is his life's dimension, with each student encountered an integral part of the whole picture. The quality of this extension of his secondary education depends upon the student. One girl finds active participation in every possible organization essential for personal satisfaction while her lockermate triumphs in making a single friend. Excellence in all sports is one boy’s accomplishment although his lab partner is equally proud of being a chess tournament finalist. These students arrived daily at the same building, listened to the same teachers, sat at the same desks ... but all saw their years at EPHS in different, yet equally meaningful, dimensions. Between lakes of understanding and peaks of learning stands the factory of education we call EPHS 2 A Contents Senior High A dimension in unity 5 Junior High A dimension in beginning 23 Departments A dimension in learning 31 Organizations A dimension in participation 51 Athletics A dimension in pride 63 Activities A dimension in enjoyment 77 Physics experiments can prove very un- by Gary Graham.

We tremble before the cosmos no more than fish tremble before the tides. EPHS annouces the release of 70 students on the grounds that they have proved themselves worthy of coping with the future. The doors are open; we are free to leave . . Begin? Continue? Cease? We must decide which small path to begin. The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. If obstacles are overridden, the small path should become a small road, two-lane highway, four-lane highway. and finally an eight-lane super freeway—smooth sailing for success.

Lao-tse Seniors 13 Ode to a Junior It's quite a shock to be a junior. You wake up one morning and realize your lifelong dream of graduating is just a short year away. You realize that it s not impossible to put on a prom; you sold thousands of pens, pillows, and cokes to do it, and it got done! And it s amazing, after eleven years you find homework doesn't get easier, tests seem to get harder, and competition becomes tougher. You're finally an upperclassman, finding new responsibilities on your never ending list. You make new friends, cherish old ones, and discover you’re a whole person—ready to tackle tomorrow.

Under the sponsorship and guidance of Mr. Lynn Campbell and with the combined efforts of the students, the class of ’72 developed a sense of enthusiasm and togetherness as exemplified by their successful undertakings. Participation in Homecoming events and the sale of stadium blankets and T-shirts are only a few of their achievements. Their teamwork thus far promises a lucrative future.

Led by class officers, Susie Thomson, president; Rose Sprad-ling, vice president; Dawn Kleeves. secretary; Steve Mouras. treasurer; and advised by Mr. George Scott, they entered into senior high activities with an eagerness that rivaled that of the upperclassmen. Ninth grade boys showed potential as future Bobcats in various sports; football, bas- ketball, wrestling, and track. Eager to exhibit pride in their school, freshman girls attended both freshman and senior high athletic events. Girls showed active participation in Pep Club, Girls Athletic Association, and future Homemakers of America. Whether in academics, sports, or extracurricular activities, the seniors of 1973 are looking forward to many great things in their future years at Estes Park Senior High School.

A Denver field trip provided their sponsors with seven hours of coffee-drinking observance. an egg-beg fund raiser required the volunteer work of many adult cars and drivers and a stream of incredibly sick jokes rendered instructors weak in an attempt to laugh, but all ended well as these masters in labor techniques passed on to the rewards of ninth grade.

Mary Ford Learning to change classes quickly was one of the seventh graders difficulties. Newcomers Face Challenging Dimensions Junior high was a step in the dimension of the teen age for seventh graders. Although 1975 seemed a long way off. the maturing process was hastened for these youngsters through their first experiences in student government, class parties and bell-regulated schedules. Working together on a spirit parade entry, giving careful consideration to candidates in class elections and inventing unusual money-making schemes for that all-important junior prom in the not-so far-off future combined to result in a class pride that will be invaluable to the unit as future school leaders. Making personal decisions regarding their first elective classes, outside activities and moral standards contributed to the production of individuals invaluable to the future as progressive world citizens.

Darrel Thomas and Sponsor Mr Chuck Wright Paving the way for achievements in high school band, junior high musicians have learned practice makes perfect Novice Musicians Set On Harmonious Career Teaching the junior high band students the methods of good music playing, both concert and jazz, was just one of the tasks facing Mr. Gerald Gilliland. The basics of music, rhythm, beat, intonation, when to start playing and when to quit, all have to be learned by students before a music piece can even be played. Evidence of tasks well taught and learned was the performance of the junior high band during Homecoming halftime and with the high school band at clinic and contest. Some members, with extra work, entered into solo and ensemble contests. Troubles and joys experienced in junior high band will help members in high school band and in future musical careers. Members of junior high band demonstrate excellent playing and drilling ability at Homecoming half-time show Saxophones play an important part in the woodwind section, adding depth and body to the total sound of the band The beat goes on with the percussion section of the junior high band, under the direction of Mr Gerald Gilliland. 28 Students Vocalize Feelings About Chorus As an elective for seventh and eighth graders, junior high chorus drew a large number of singers for participation in both semesters’ activities. From the classic minuets of George Frederick Handel to the country and western ballads of Glen Campbell these young songsters discovered music as an art to be enjoyed. Miss Linda Souders also directed the junior high honor choir which met weekly to rehearse for public performance. Jim Nelson. Becky French. Michele Eagan. Cindy Brown. Rodney Wagner and Tony Paglta sing with Miss Souders. The dimension of music is an interesting sidelight to academic pursuits.

New experiences began for seventh and eighth graders with the beginning of the 1969-70 school year. Sports, clubs and activities never before enjoyed by EPHS junior highers included Ski Club with its fun days at Hidden Valley and Winter Park. Future Homemakers of America and the intramural basketball program. The seniors of 1974 and '75 delegated themselves with ambitious responsibilities and carried them out with an enthusiasm that will stand them in good stead in future years.

Directors Persevere, Pave Tomorrow’s Path Jotting down notes that may help him suggest policy to the school board. Superintendent Mr. Luther Patterson is absorbed in thought Behind every smoothly-running and progressive student body is the often-hidden dimension of an efficient administration. Clearing the road for student accomplishment, coordinating classes and arranging activity calendars are only the delegated responsibilities of this body; those implied in the necessary and proper for the best possible education-clause are innumerable. Here are people who can’t skip a day for a cold or ski vacation; keeping the cogs of an educational system moving requires someone at the wheel at all times. Through endless hours of effort, the good administrator may become weary, but he never gives up. His masterpieces are not literary classics or triumphs of harmonic orchestration. but young adults, fresh from the palette of a solid background, applying themselves to the world's canvas with confidence and conviction. 32 A thoughtful glance given by Mr Gordon Rudel before introducing an assembly reflects curiosity of assembled students. School Efficiency is a Needed Dimension The Carl Robys share a joke with Mrs. Jac-quie Kuhn while preparing lunch Cleaning up after students in Mr Wright's room is routine for Mr. George Cowles. v Mrs. Florence Statham often visits the high school for student health check-ups Walking the halls, students don't think of the hours janitors Mr. Bob Cheney. Mr. George Kleckler and Mr. George Cowles work to keep the school in ship shape. Although students are often heard kidding the staff about lunches or joking about mixed-up phone calls, they never realize the time or effort staff members spend working. This dimension of their school is not one that every student realizes exists, even though without it the school could not operate and the students themselves would be denied several privileges.

Mrs. Beverly Hays shows home ec students correct facing placement. A student has certain feelings about his teacher. He can sense insincerity or indifference in his instructors. Likewise an instructor can sense the attitude of his class. He can tell whether they are with him or tuned out on another subject. The mood of the faculty contributes to the atmosphere of our school. Their willingness to communicate on the student’s level is one of their many attributes. Some teachers are their pupils' friends. Others remain aloof and serious in their approach. However diversified their methods, the Estes Park school staff holds in common a sincere desire for the best education possible for its charges.

For interested readers of second-year French’s The Count of Monte Cristo ' Mrs. Tanguay could recall standing at the edge of the cliff where the hero was dropped as vividly as she described a bullfight in Spain, easily turning the mechanics of verb conjugation, sentence structure and proper pronunciation into fascinating aspects of an entire culture. Beginning linguists were encouraged when advanced French and Spanish students, emerging from their impressive-sounding independent study carrels to gain experience in a teaching situation showed how much can be learned in just three or four years. Relief also rushed in upon hearing these awesome high-school experts fumble for the simplest word. Many papers were used in Mrs. Tanguay s classes, occasional mix ups brought some French to Spanish students and vice versa Examples of Spanish customs often help Mrs. Jean Tanguay explain hard word and sentence structures to Spanish students Several occasions brought festive decorations according to the Spanish and French customs for different holidays Helping advanced French student Judy Ward with a lesson. Mrs. Tanguay explains future assignments and exam dates. 36 Enjoyment of the newly added junior high paperback library was shared Charles Wnght. This library was comprised of books purchased through by many through the year including Marcia Blanchar and instructor Mr book clubs or donated by students. In his first year at Estes. Mr Keith Murphy brought new dimensions of English and American literature to his classes English Staff Inspires Creative Geniuses’ Works Our everyday method of corrrmunication, the English language was a subject of interest for the many who discovered its varied dimensions in the ten courses offered at EPHS. While Mr. Chuck Wright’s junior high paperback library encouraged young readers. Mr. Keith Murphy's group substantiated the humanities class reputation for frequent field trips. Although no forma! course in journalism was offered, senior Janet Busby and her volunteer staff produced the Mountaineer student newspaper for an eager reading public. Individual help is a dimension of teaching all instructors offer, as shown by Rocky Tallman and Mr Robert Keith. Compliments of Estes Appliance T.V. Dr. Mrs. A. L. French.

A world geography class begins with Mr Charles Brown s search for the lesson. Studying foreign countries made learning easier Upon what controversial issue will Congress vote tomorrow? Beep! The correct answer to this question could decide the weekly winner of Current Events Sweepstakes, world and U S. history instructor Mr. Lynn Campbell's contribution toward student awareness of the happenings around him. Similar to television game shows, the sweepstakes rewarded the correct reply with a stipulated point value. As rival teams worked for the six-week championships that would add bonus points to their grade averages, student alertness as well as competition mounted. A similar awareness was created in Mr. Charles Whiting's advanced social studies and Mr. Charles Brown's world geography classes. By studying in detail the principles of democracy and other forms of government, students developed an on-going interest in current affairs and world problems. Four Seasons Texaco Service Graves Gas Co 38 Fawn Valley Chalet Condominium Glick's Western Store Mathematicians Find New Dimensions Most commonly made errors in math this year were “idiot errors. a statement to which students in Mr. George Scott's classes will testify. General and advanced math, algebra I, II and geometry required extensive study. Students were expected to fully understand all information presented and retain it for use both later in the course and later in life. In spite of the serious attitudes that normally characterize math majors, laughter was often heard escaping the doors of rooms 27 and 29. Substituting heads and tails' for the more academic adjectives “initial and terminal in the description of advanced math vectors added enough humor to balance the concentration necessary to understand basic concepts. Math, in its many vaoated forms, can prove to be interesting study as shown by instructor. Mr Dwight Austin. Students find geometry interesting when applied in class. Practical ap plication made learning easier Concentrating on the mathematical aspects of chess. Mr George Scott wonders how geometry and algebra will work in. 39 Scientific Experiments Unearth Knowledge Lab'' was a word that spelled more than just a Dr. Jekyll-type workroom for EPHS scientists. Observation and experiment took place on the roof, outside. in fact any place on the premises that merited attention. Topics of study were diverse also: cosmic constellations for freshmen, sophomore peony pollination and chlorine configuration for chemists. Physicists diverted many classes who heard them experimenting with gravity laws on the roof while scientists of the mind left psychology for a week to record observations of other classes. Involved instructors invented experiments that served the dual purpose of keeping students interested in subject matter while exposing them to the dimensions of the scientific world through knowledge of basic concepts.

Years of experience support the wise advice eager student teacher Mr Ken Johnson of industrial arts instructor Mr Don Griffith to ‘•It s not what the student does to the project.” according to industrial arts instructor Mr. Don Griffith, but what the project does for the student. A continued insistence upon accuracy and neatness in only one year of a class with Mr. Griffith may see longterm results in a lifetime of more exacting personal standards. Along with perfectionist tendencies and a thorough knowledge of the skill practiced, an industrial arts student leaves Mr. Griffith’s classes with an inclination toward sick jokes, still another communicable trait of the respected instructor.

Artists’ Dimensions Show Humor, Effort Under the humorous yet expert direction of Miss Caroline Wiseman, art classes were steered through a German town Christmas complete with cranberry and popcorn strings on a natural tree. German vocabulary on store-window flats and stained-glass windows on the cafeteria partition. Individual projects in cloth, clay, salt blocks and interior design occupied advanced art classes while Art I and II studied the art basics. Discouragement over a split carving block was lightened by yarn fights as frivolity interspersed with serious work, but the smoky odor of wax left burning for six hours brought all artists down to earth.

In charge of all business classes, Mrs. Vidmar, with the help of principal Mr. Gordon Rudel, taught business students the do's and dont's of office practice. Grooming, an important dimension of the secretary's life, was discussed in several classes. Games pertaining to the skill, with prizes for the winners. were offered by Mrs. Vidmar along with contests to Reach the Moon’’ and other goals offering awards for outstanding typists. Freshman students tried to stay with the beat from records played in personal typing Students Find Volumes Of Library Knowledge New policies were put into effect this year in the library: mainly peace and studious quiet. Mr. Robert Dunn, with the help of several student aides and Mrs. Helen Harl-ing, managed not only to keep students quiet and books in order but offered helpful information to fact-seekers. Most study halls were moved from the library to allow students working there room and peace, but the room was always available for students of serious intent. Student gatherings outside the library during lunch hours were enjoyed by several while some seniors found the room adjoining the library perfect to sit. talk and air ideas about future plans. Cagey librarian Mr Robert Dunn spent hours cataloging books in the library annex A quiet and studious atmosphere promoted the homework activities of Steve Davidson and Ken Wilson. 45 Fender-benders Make a Safe EPHS Demolition Derby Janet Busby begins an hour of driving instruction with Mr Jim Williamson Students of driver education added a dimension of dents to the school's training car as they took their first official drives with Mr. Jim Williamson at the dual controls. Nervous first-timers looked up from an intense search for the windshield wiper knob only to see the edge of a canyon cliff perilously near. Problematic parallel parking proved almost too much for owners of shop windows near to the curbs. But as the legal license age drew near for each driver, parents found assurance in the knowledge that their youngsters were well-versed in the rules of the road and had practiced their newly acquired knowledge with a qualified and steel-nerved instructor. Band Aids in Musical Blues’ Recuperation Diligent musicians discovered that whenever they donned full concert uniform their notes contained the pride recognized in being a part of such a well-reputed group. Mr. Gerald Gilliland found himself directing an even more earnest band. Grimacing bravely. Mr Jim Williamson is lurched away by another new driver. Stage band members study their music before beginning rehearsal for a pep rally Mr Gerald Gilliland stops practice to explain a key change to the band. Music is a dimension of school that every student needs, whether he participates in playing an instrument or just listens, enjoyment is given to all. The high school band provided music for students at EPHS several times throughout the year. Special programs under the direction of Mr. Gerald Gilliland gave band members a chance to play the music they had practiced. Working on music for band clinic, and contest, kept both Mr. Gilliland and music students busy in the spring. Band president. Larry Williams, center was Williams. Cathy McGraw. Charlie Brown and helped in his duties by Terry Smith. Karen Cam Ebel 47 Sharp Singers Trill Happy-Noted Songs Many performances were g.ven by the high and school assemblies Working on music for school choir for various community groups contests also kept them busy. Compensating for an imbalance in a boy-girl ratio is a job requiring many and varied improvisations but the high school mixed chorus proved this year that it can be done. Under the direction of Mr. Gerald Gilliland the thirty-member group performed often during the year. Appearances before local community groups and the student body and competition in state contests gave young voices an opportunity in expression. Laughing helplessly during the Christmas program or swallowing nervously in spring competition are both singers' dimensions. During the Christmas holidays the choir passed Christmas spirit to the school aod various town groups, including the woman s club at the town library. Help offered by Mr. Gerald Gilliland is given to many chorus members. 48 Guidance Aids Our Decisions for Tomorrow That high school, where it’s at for us now. is only one dimension of a full life is a realization that comes to many as upperclassmen. Laurels as a football hero or class valedictorian won’t be crutches in the competitive world of tomorrow, and hazily-formed dreams of college and careers must now be drawn to practical perspective. While the greatest burden of this responsibility falls to the student himself, outside influences often assist the drive in the right direction.
