Banquet highlights successful year The publications season culminated with the annual banquet at the Holiday Inn on May 18. A long-standing publications tradition, the banquet included steak dinners for the newspaper and yearbook staff, the presentation of several serious awards, the traditional “pubbie” gingerbread cookie awards and a final round of the challenging dictionary game. Publications adviser, Bob Keith summed up the class’ achievements when he noted, “You and I know for a fact that this year’s publications are among the elite in the nation — not because we’re any smarter but because we’re better and because we work harder.” Some of the accomplishments he referred to include receiving the All-State Award for the Whispering Pine yearbook in Division I from the Colorado High School Press Association on Sept. 17, and winning Medalist and All-Columbian in March from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the Mountaineer. At the banquet, “pubbie” awards presented by Jonathon Firnhaber and Dan Gavell covered a variety of subjects related to publications work. These included the “Most Improved Publicator Award,” the “Werewolf Award,” the “Best Rested Award,” the best and worst “Deadline Maker and Breaker Awards,” the “Musical Appreciation Award,” and the “Trapper John Layout Surgeon Award.” The more serious side of the banquet was displayed when Mr. Keith thanked his staff for a good year and presented four awards for “meritorious achievement.” Recipients of these awards were Peter Crisi, Firnhaber, David James and Anne Kirk. Bound copies of the Mountaineer were to be presented later in the summer at a publications picnic. Among all the crazy traditions in publications, the “most important one is striving for excellence in everything that we do,” Mr. Keith finished in his end-of-the-year speech. With a good year behind him, Mr. Keith decided to take a one-year leave of absence. He plans to study camera repair to “prepare for the future.” In the final stages of preparing the Mountaineer newspaper. Dan Gavell (below) sets type on the “Mrs.” Friden typesetting machine. Peter Crisi (below left) proofreads his story copy and notes corrections, and Kelly Bell and Jonathon Firnhaber (left) touch up the negative of a page of the Mountaineer with opaquing pencils at the Trail-Gazette.

Probing. Erik Ritschard and Nancy Eisenhauer examine Morticia, a cat students to pursue their interests while obtaining a basic education necessary corpse, in human physiology. This course, along with many others, allowed for later life — a common goal. A common goal ■ Academics were supposedly the main reason we came to school. With varying interests among students, we took different courses and course loads. But a common goal for both those planning to attend college and those seeking no further schooling was a good, basic education. Course offerings, although not as extensive as those of larger schools, accommodated most of the 350 EPHS students. New classes were human physiology and computer literacy. Aerospace wasn’t offered. Expanded computer facilities eased the problems of skyrocketing programming class enrollment. Biology and other classes also experienced overcrowding. Under a new director, the band entered two competitions, placing eighth at state Colorado Band Association and first on the street and third on the field in Class C at the Canon City Apple Blossom Festival. Cultures scholars explored American westward expansion by reading the novel “Centennial” and by visiting some areas described in the book. They also lobbied in the school for social reforms. Drafting students competed in the Fort Collins Industrial Arts Fair and physical science pupils participated in the annual egg-drop contest. Foreign language students presented skits and readings for Aspenfest in Estes Park. Later in the year they sponsored a talent show. Some Spanish students traveled to Mexico during spring break. Foreign exchange students enlivened the school with their knowledge and culture. Selected seniors in government attended a legislative session at the state capitol. The next day they toured Estes Park town facilities and assumed the roles of town officials. Publications class members spent late nights producing eight newspapers and a yearbook. Some students trekked to the middle school for wood shop and home economics classes. Others enrolled in Voc-Tech courses, rounding out their high school educations. All classes had unexciting, necessary work. Homework, term papers and similar assignments were predictably unpopular. To improve the quality of courses, science and social studies departments undertook curriculum studies. These resulted in greater district-wide cooperation. Seniors left the school with the fruits of their academic works at graduation. Through their studies, all students learned better how to “bring good things to life.” 22 Academics division page
