Success does not usually come without some failure, but failure can come without success. With this in mind it's important to take every day as a leaming expe- rience. By doing this we become wiser and better prepared for the real world, the world unknown to high school students. Memories of the time spent here will forever shape our lives. The joyous times and the sad times have helped to build charac- ter in each of us. Bold and proud we stand ath- letically and academically letting the llTrue Colors of the school and of ourselves come shining through. The future holds many mys- teries and exciting new challenges in life which will push us to the lim- it. By showing the true colors with- in each of us and believing in our- selves, we can make things hap- pen.

The challenge of the school year may have been too much for some, but as Principal Jim Ekerberg said in his opening remarks to the student body, uAttitude is the Essence of Leamingf' With a lot of enthusiasm behind them, students took full advantage of th eir oppor- tunities to learn by the many interesting classes and pro- jects provided. Teachers used Iield trips as another fundamental of leaming. This gave the stu- dents some hands on ex- 811110 Q6 penence. New courses added were science fiction, writing lab and laser technology. The school calendar was under consideration again. Many people felt the 160 day school year was too short and students were be- ing deprived of class time, while the majority ofthe peo- ple argued that the 160 day school year had the same number of hours but made up for it with longer days. The school board finally compromised and set the '87-88 calendar to consist of 160 days, but having fewer four-day weeks. Publications On the write track As in previous years the publi- cations staff worked hard to meet deadlines for the Mountaineer as well as the yearbook. The staff produced six papers with the first 12-page issue in sev- eral years. Adviser Bob Keith said, It was an excellent issue, filled with a good variety of news and features. The Mountaineer typesetting was done by computer, with the use of a modem in conjunction with the Trail-Gazette. All year- book typesetting was also done with the aid of computers. In September, the Quill and Scroll news and media evaluation awarded the 1985-86 Mountaineer Gov. Roy Romer speaks to members of the Colorado Press Association on Feb. 19. a second-place certificate for l'Substantial Achievement. On Oct. 5, the Colorado High School Press Association Newspa- per Olympics saw the Mountaineer capture second place out of 14 Class 1A and 2A newspapers. The Mountaineer also was able to place in 10 ofthe 12 categories en- tered, and received four gold tfirst placel ratings, four silver and two bronze. Because of their second-place finish, the staff received a plaque awarded by CHSPA. The Colorado Press Associa- tion convention was attended by Mr. Keith, Robby James and Julee Felsman, which saw the Moun- taineer win the first-place award in Colorado in the general excel- lence category. On April 8, the publications staff attended the CHSPA Year- book Olympics at the Holiday lnn Southeast in Denver. This event saw the yearbook staff receive two awards, one for general excellence and another for photography. To close out the year, the an- nual publications banquet was held May 26 at the Holiday Inn. It was a great success, with James and Felsman receiving the Colo- rado University School of Journal- ism Meritorious Service awards, which Mr. Keith presented.

Publications 5 English Lots of reading, mainl To the students enrolled in the various English classes, a wide variety of activities was offered. The freshmen were enrolled in English l, taught by Ann Day and Laura Brown, back from her sab- batical leave. The classes studied Greek my- thology, read several books in- cluding the i'Outsiders, went through a unit of plays which in- cluded the i'West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet, and then concentrated on the works of Ed- gar Allan Poe. The English Il students did a lot of reading through the course of the year. They started off by English ll students in Ann Day's class work diligently on one of their tests. 6 English reading i'To Kill A Mockingbird and then they went to I Am The Cheese. Honors students contin- ued the reading with The Choco- late War. Along with the reading of nov- els, the students also read poetry, plays, and short stories. Vocabu- lary cards were required to be turned in almost every week throughout the year. Writing as- signments were also issued to the students. For the third year English stu- dents the writing assignments were lessened, but more novels were read. Some of the novels in- cluded 'When the Legends Die, 'Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby. A 10-page research paper was required at the end of the year to include a writing as- signment. English Ill honors students, taught by Bob Keith, were required to read the novel Centennial, which concluded with the stu- dents' annual field trip to Fort Va- squez and Orchard and the climb- ing of Pawnee Buttes. The senior college comp class, taught by Mrs. Brown, bet- tered their English skills by includ- ing a trip to the Colorado State Uni- versity library in Fort Collins.

These classes displayed many aspects of American life, from the working of the human brain to the buying of a house. Special activities were also present. Juniors enrolled in Ameri- can cultures class went on the an- 8 Social studies nual field trip to Orchard, Keota and Pawnee Buttes. The consumer education class worked on various projects such as designing and purchasing a personal dream house and the problems of car buying.

Social studies 9 S M Science Free-fall, physics and fish The science curriculum of- fered a healthy variety of choices for students, while a number of firsts for the department creat- ed milestones. The freshman science course was, for the first time, team taught. Mary Ann Varanka worked togeth- er with Grace Stephen for one unit and Dave Ohlde for two units. For Mrs. Stephen, it was a return to freshman science after a five-year hiatus. Sophomores in biology en- joyed end-of-the-year treats such as the annual stream study on Fish Creek and the new seafood feast. Ms. Varanka noted that the sea- food lunch was a student-generat- ed activity. She looks to use other such activities in the future, if not this particular one. A humorous mishap that al- most wasn't also occurred in the freshman class. As part ofthe crys- tal test, the students were given the powdery, white compound alu- minum potassium sulfate. Due to ln the science storeroom, Jason McBride independently experiments with light. 10 Science its resemblance to another pow- dery, white substance, teachers and administrators were informed of the experiment, but concerned bus drivers and irate parents dis- posed of the completely harmless chemical for some students. Ms. Varanka was also back af- ter a year-long sabbatical to work on a doctoral thesis dealing with gender equality. The department was bol- stered by a good turnout in nearly all of its electives. Chemistry students were al- lowed to do independent projects. A number of them showed pyro- maniac streaks as they did work with explosives and burning so- dium. Mr. Ohlde taught a surpris- ingly large number ofjuniors in his physics class. Kepler's laws, free- fall acceleration and inertia were all discussed in class. Advanced science students were treated to their ovm Umini- lab in a corner of Ms. Varanka's room, where they experimented on subjects as varied as electro- phoresis, penicillin, the speed of light and gravity. The human physiology class took a field trip to Colorado State University to view the college's electron microscope. The group also organized and ran the Stu- dent Health Fair. Mrs. Stephen taught her local geology course for the second year and added a local ecology course to the curriculum. Bob Mclntosh taught a new class, laser technology. The course had an exceptional turn- out. Mr. Ohlde also added a new course to the curriculum, astrono- my. The tumout was small but loy- al, as the students braved frigid temperatures to stand outside and view l'Ialley's Comet, Jupiter and its moons, Betelguese and other heavenly bodies.

' Y ' ' ' 'Bm' f vw- 'r 'M' gr Math and computers It all adds up As is always the case, the math and computer departments exhibited the same signs of growth that have marked them for many years. A rise in attendance in higher level math classes such as trigo- nometry, analytical geometry and statistics paved the way for a huge increase in the size of next year's calculus class. Overall, the math classes have become increasingly popular among the students' schedules. In the computer room, big changes were again made. The computer classes switched from the Apple computer as their learn- ing device to the newer Zenith IBM compatibles. The computer litera- cy class then had exclusive use of the l'outdated Apple computers. H.E.R.O., the computer room's new robot, was obtained toward the end of the school year and the computer projects stu- dents began to learn how to pro- gram it. The annual ski swap was sponsored again and turned out to be a big success. The extra money made will go into buying the school its first laser printer, which was tested by the computer room for several weeks. The year again proved the strength of the EPHS math pro- gram, as students continued to ex- cel on standardized math tests. wnyv Aspiring Algebra ll student Jay Yancey poses as his intellectual idol. sf- Q9 Computer room helpers Chris Carlin, Joel Peterson, Mike Raybourn data and computing hyperflex tangents on the school's IBM compu- and Tod Phillips pose for a picture after a grueling day of entering ters. 12 Math and computers F Mwflww Mum JW ,,mi'1, ,,, ilauu Jeff Hicks makes use of his study hall time in the computer room, trying to make up his Math teacher Clary Stark grades final tests homework assignments for his Computers I class. taken by his geometry students.

A booming business The business department held opportunities for students to expand their skills. Marsha Snell and Jeanine Jones kept a tight schedule as their classes were full of interested learners. Accounting l Sr ll, business law and computer literacy, a required graduation course, were taught by 14 Business Mrs. Snell. Mrs. Jones taught general business A and B and vocational business and office education. Both instructors taught sec- tions of Typing I. A major change in the depart- ment was the replacement of all the typewriters by computers. We did this in order to bring us up to date, said Mrs. Snell. Outstanding VBOE students were Traci Peck and Michelle Pear- son for first quarter, Lisa Daniel- son and Amy Thomas - 2nd quarter, David Roberts and lien Stone -- 5rd quarter, Angela Schreiber and Maureen Schulz - 4th quarter.

It's all foreign to me The French and Spanish clas- ses provided students with a change from American culture to others by learning languages and customs. The Spanish classes partici- pated in many fun and educational activities such as the annual pi- nata contest along mth field trips, watching Zoot Suit, cooking and making a homecoming float. A Mexican dancer, Pam Sentena, vis- ited the school and taught all lev- els of Spanish a variety of dances. Both French and Spanish clas- ses went to the University of North- ern Colorado Foreign Language Day. Second level Spanish took 16 Foreign languages first in skit competition, while fourth level took first for cultural entertainment. First level French received second for show and tell, as did second level in skit competi- tion. The French classes also had a variety of activities. They had a Mardi Crras poster contest, a sev- en-course Christmas dinner, mov- ie night and a homecoming float. The French and Spanish Clubs held a party for the foreign exchange students. They also helped during the International World Awareness Day with intro- ducing students to students from other countries.

Physical education Getting into shape The physical education de- partment was not without fun and excitement. Along with the basic curricu- lum, bowling and golf were again included. The school district pro- vided transportation for these ac- tivities. A new unit in the lesson plans was swimming. This was held at the new pool by the grade school. The P.E. classes were taught by both Peny Black and Cathy Ma- haffey. Mr. Black and Ms. Mahaffey both taught a weight training class, which allowed the students to build their strength and tone their bodies for one semester. They both taught health and first aid classes also. This class is a requirement for freshmen and they need it to graduate. Driver education class, taught by Mr. Black, was again offered with a S50 fee attached to it to cov- er insurance costs. This class al- lowed students to learn the basics of driving and provided a discount on insurance if they did well in class. The P.E. department allowed a break in the day from all the hus- tle of classwork and also allowed students who don't participate in sports to experience many athletic activities.

Physical education 19 killed for the future Voc-Tech, shop School offered a wide variety of educational opportunities, and for some students the Larimer County Voc-Tech Center, wood or metal shop provided an excellent chance to receive technical train- ing. Eleven students enrolled in classes at the Voc-Tech Center, which offered a wide variety of classes ranging from agricultural science to machine shop. These programs were de- signed to prepare students for the job entry level that exists within the community or the region. These individuals had to go to school early because of the long bus ride and often attended clas- ses during spring break. Bob Mclntosh was in charge of the metal shop. I-le taught two lev- els of that course as well as the newly formed laser tech class. Junior Matt Meulener said, Ulvletals provides a great chance to learn some interesting skills and it helps to relieve some of the pres- sures of school. Jeff Schanhals taught inter- ested students the art of wood working. They learned techniques in cutting wood and the quality of the woods and its practical use. Four classes were offered includ- ing Woods 1 and 2 and advanced woods. The final test of the year for the woods and metals students was the Industrial Arts Fair at Colo- rado State University. This yearly event attracts schools from all over the state. -rx . ziif ,f.. , Shop instructor Jeff Schanhals figures out grades for his 7th hour woods class.

Selective about e ectives Each year many students take the elective classes art, home eco- nomics and drafting. The majority of students who signed up for these did so because they knew that the classes would be fun. Many students felt the classes were very enjoyable and gave them a break from other class- work. Senior Monica I-lasenkamp said, ul really enjoy stained glass because it's fun to make pieces and be able to see a finished prod- uct that you have made.

Members of the Bobcat band entered the 1986-87 season with high hopes after coming off a suc- cessful campaign the year before. The marching season kicked off the year as the band performed at home football games. The Colo- rado Band Masters Association re- gional competition was the first test for the young musicians. The flag line, led by captain Becky rlickson, and the rifle line, led by Shani Parker, combined to take first place in the auxiliary facet of the contest. The band overall took third place, qualifying them for the CBA state competi- tion, held in Canon City. At the contest the band falter- ed, as they failed to make finals and finished ninth of 17 bands. The band's repertoire consist- ed of 'lCorazon, Say You, Say Meg' 'TauruS, and 'lTequila. The concert season began with the annual Christmas con- cert, where the band played songs such as Noel Suite and l'Parade of Carols. At the North Central Division Colorado State Music Festival, the band competed against bands from around the state and re- ceived a judgment of excellent for their efforts. The traditional Pops Concert ended the year as the band per- formed music from the movie Top Gun. At the concert, direc- tor Charles Amett, after giving spe- cial awards to five people and dis- tributing letters, announced that this would be his last year at Estes Park High School. Band 25 In perfect For the first time in the school's history, both ofthe choirs achieved the highest rating that can be received at a competition. The groups were able to ac- complish this at the Colorado High School Activities Association Large Group Festival, which was held at Fort Collins on April 29. Both the Concert Choir and Third Edition were showered with compliments from the three judges, which gave individual scores and overall critique sheets. Onejudge said, l'You are an excel- lent group, doing almost every- thing right, while another said that the groups were lots of fun, Choir hannon and again an excellentjobf' Choir Director Phebe Novic was very pleased with the perfor- mance of both groups for two rea- sons. The first one was that Estes Park was the only school other than Fort Collins and Rocky Moun- tain to obtain straight one ratings for all of their choirs. The other reason was that she thought this would be a Ugrowing year, so she never really expected them to do as well as they did. The choirs didn't have any fund-raising events, however, they did have their annual Christmas concert, as well as concerts at the Wild Basin Lodge and a spring con- cert at the Stanley Hotel in March, which was one of their best perfor- mances. The band and choir also team- ed up in October at the UNICEF concert, which was a great suc- cess, and for their final conceit, when the choirs performed for the seniors and their parents at bacca- laureate. Nineteen members of the choir were selected all-league in February, which leads Mrs. Novic to believe that since they were so young and inexperienced this year, they will be Heven better next year. .-,Y.,...., z 5 l . ..,-,.,.,.,,,,...., -4 5 3 C 0 S S- .

There is usually some actixd- ty going on before or after school at some time of the year for everyone. To some students after- school hours were spent at sports practices of one kind or the other. To others free time was spent on some of the many extra-cunicular activities the school has to offer. Clubs such as Spanish Club, French Club and Math 'Lim e5 YU Club gave students the op- portunity to continue their special interests. The dances were few but full, with students having fun. Dances from dedication to l'Walk Like an Egyptian dances. Also, the traditional homecoming, Morp and prom were held. The plays that entertain- ed us were Tom Jones and Anything Goes.

Team member Robby James magnanimously said, 'll don't re- ally enjoy the trip to Durango any- way, it's too long. Dave Martin, the activity's sponsor, felt that if the whole team had been able to compete in every meet, then the team would have had a much more successful, highly respectable season. But, all of the core members had numer- ous other commitments as well that conflicted with the Saturday meets and the lunch practices. The highlight of the season was the second-place finish at the team's ovm meet in Estes. The JV also earned a third-place finish at Valley. For the second year the team competed in the Knowledge Mas- ter Open. They earned average scores amidst an abundance of bad auk jokes during the three- hour, computer-administered test. The irreverent and klepto- maniac attitudes prevalent among the team members provided tales ofairplanes on wires, cows without legs and trips back into foreign schools to return souvenirs taken from the premises. Knowledge bowl 29 Clubs Reach for a club Students from different clubs enjoyed a busy year. The language department organized many activ- ities, from a potluck dinner at the high school to field trips. FBLA also made two field trips. One was very early in the year to the University of Colorado, and another one was to Denver. Members of this club visited the Mint and Channel 9 studios.

Club- Clubs 51 Speech Talk about big mouths Speech team, which was very low in quantity, made up for its lack in numbers with quality. Under the guidance of Coach Linda Rehn, the team flourished with dedication and spirit. The season started out in mid- October with the Niwot Novice Tournament, and the team pro- ceeded to be successful in all of its following meets. The team attended all of the meets except the Nov. 1 Fort Col- lins Novice Tourney, which they were unable to be at because of a heavy Halloween snowstorm. Though many members ofthe team did well, Jason Kelly, one of the leaders of the team, was the only person to go to the state tour- nament in Colorado Springs, where he did not place but made a very good presentation. He was very happy about even being able to go to state and said he thought it was 'xawesome being able to compete with the best. The team did very well, ac- cording to Mrs. Rehn, who said that since the school is so small, the team had to work harder to compete against larger schools. As he throws his anns in the air, Jim Sellars expresses himself in his duet acting role. 52 Speech One addition to the speech team was Student Congress, which was sponsored by the Na- tional Forensics League. Students involved were given the opportuni- ty to act out the roles of represen- tatives and senators in Congress. They discussed such topics as the schools' right to search lockers. Many members were also in- volved in Student Congress. Jason McBride won a superior speaker award and Kelly was honored with an outstanding speaker award for their presentations.

Homecoming traditions like the bonfire and movie were retain- ed, and the car decorations took place despite inclement weather. StuCo again sponsored intra- mural volleyball competition. For the second year, Student Council held overnight retreats to discuss the pressing issues at hand. An innovation added by Cox was the dividing ofthe council into six standing committees. The committees were responsible for the posting of the students of the week, attending weekend bingo Denver District Attorney Norm Early intro- duces Barry Dosh to the student body. sound council sessions at the Estes Park Nursing Home and performing other duties as directed. The council also arranged for several speakers to address the student body. Earl Reum spoke about self-confidence and motiva- tion. Barry Dosh, severely injured in an auto accident due to his ovim drinking and driving, spoke to the school along with Denver District Attorney Norm Early on not drink- ing and driving. A last-minute flurry took place in an effort to make shorts permis- sible attire in school. Administra- tion and the council could reach no agreement on the subject.

Student Council 55 uf Stop signs of the times I can arrest 19 people right now, said Sgt. Paul Roberts to the group of individuals involved in what he called the Quthouse Ca- per. The incident was brought on by approximately 40 students, in- cluding the majority of the football team. Many of the students seemed to think it was all a big joke, be- cause the tradition at the high school is to take outhouses to burn at the homecoming bonfire. 'lThey didn't wony about any of this ten years ago, why should they worry about it now? saidju- nior Robby James. This was just one of the events that caught some attention from the public during the week of Oct. 6-11. Many citizens were disturbed by the scavenger hunt that the school had for the first and most likely last time when students helped themselves to stop signs in the area and to milk bottle tops from Safeway. Slave day, which is usually very popular, didn't go over well with many seniors because the slaves they paid for were told they could take showers after first peri- od. The upperclassmen thought this was unfair, since they had been slaves when they were fresh- men. And now that they were slave-ovmers, they couldn't make their slaves obey. Excited football fans Eric Koontz, Wade Riedesel and Dan Smith watch as the Bobcats beat the Erie Tigers in the homecoming game. 56 Homecoming Other activities were the mov- ie Footloose, which was shovim after the bonfire, and the second annual Ice Cream Bash, which fol- lowed a home volleyball game. The regularly scheduled powder- puff football game was delayed un- til late spring because many ofthe girls planning to play were unable to because of the volleyball sea- son. The theme for the week was l'Be True to Your School. Candi- dates for royalty were Crene Hardy, Jason McBride and Scott Shana- felt for king and Deena Collin- gham, Amy Laviolette and Ericka Schlagel for queen.

Graduation 45 Jobs Take this job and love it The Estes Park tourist econo- my supplies jobs for many stu- dents while they attend school and during the summer. Students take jobs ranging from clerical work to bussing tables at restaurants. The new businesses in the Stanley Village have brought new jobs for stu- dents during school as well as for the summer. Most students take on jobs so that they can have money to save for college, to buy a car orjust for extra cash. During the winter when busi- ness is slow, many students are out of jobs because there is no de- mand for extra help, but during the summer, most of the high school students do have at least one job, some having two to keep up with their expenses. Many students do not realize how fortunate they are to be living in a tourist populated area such as Estes Park that provides jobs for students, that they can come back to summer after summer. Many employers simply save their jobs for them during the winter until summer rolls- back around. With Phase Three of Estes Park's urban renewal nearing its completion, the tomm's more at- tractive appearance and more ag- gressive marketing appear to be working for the benefit of students and employers. 46 Jobs While pulling a movie rental slip for a customer at East Side Food Store, Shannon Clarke smiles and awaits a busy evening.

Y o Students in the high school found unity and to- gethemess of purpose to be resourceful in the '86-87 school year. The controversy over the school calendar brought many students together to voice their opinions in favor of the 160 day calendar. Another issue was over the right to wear shorts. Stu- dents signed petitions and talked with Assistant Princi- pal Craig Belshe and Princi- pal Jim Ekerberg to try to convince them by using the middle school shorts policy as an example. Peer counseling was a new program in which upper- classmen formed groups and talked with freshmen to help them become more fa- miliarized with the guidance office. The students showed the responsibility and matu- rity of their actions and real- ized how they could become more of an influential part of the high school. Together to the end N Darren Koretko, Jon Baker, Mark Allen, Scott Rayboum, Bill Sartorius, Scott Ranzau and Shell Ring have some fun in the student center. Taka Suzuki and Brett Buchholtz wait patiently for their P.E. team to take the court while Todd Walker and Mindy Stage look on. The class of '87 pulled togeth- er and took lirst place in class com- petition during homecoming week of their senior year. Throughout the years the class has always worked as a team. When they were juniors, they placed second, though short a few points from taking lirst place. The teamwork showed through into the various sports the class participated in. In powderpuff football the girls won during their junior year 14-6. The game in the spring proved to be an eventful one. Class sponsor Bob Mclntosh said, This class is going to go far. The senior class made things easy for Mr. Mclntosh by pulling to- gether and solving problems themselves. Under the leadership of the class officers, President Jason McBride, Vice president Gene Har- dy and Secretary Amy Laviolette, the class got a lot done and raised enough money for a successful prom during their junior year. After the class graduates and enters the realm of reality, they will diversify into the various fields available to them and do well. Most of the seniors will re- member getting out, but there are other memories that the se- nior will remember years later, such as a football game, an inside joke or advice from a teacher. Most ofthe memories will be good, some bad, but all of them will be a leaming experience. Seniors A Seniors The senior roster Mark Allen: Basketball, football, track, all- league track.

I come from Westem Germany where I live in a small tovm near Munich. In Germany, I finished eleventh grade. I speak two foreign languages: English and French. I came to the USA with an organiza- tion called AYUSA CAcademic Year in the USAJ with the purpose to im- prove my English and to get to know another lifestyle. I am also here to build up relationships be- tween my country and the USA that can be a basis for the future. After my graduation I will go back to Germany where I have to attend high school for another two years. Maybe I will come back to the United States once in the future in order to go to college. Estes Park itself is a very nice place, espe- cially for me as I am an enthusias- tic skier. Also the small number of students in school enables some- one to get in close contact with teachers and students. Therefore, I want to thank everybody who makes my stay that convenient.

Clark's cross country efforts took him to Los Angeles for a national Athletics Congress meet. The state wrestling finals hosted Mike Rayboum and Derek Shideler, who was the first EPHS wrestler to eam the district title in 11 years. Several junior girls were on the volleyball and swim teams that placed third at state. Many juniors were involved in fund-raisers, which contributed to the annual junior-senior prom. Some of these included two dances, one of which was the No Pants Dance, and the annual- class of '88 car wash, which proved to be successful. Leading these fund-raisers were Corrine PorterIield-presi- dent, Clark-vice president, and Reid Ritschard-secretary treasur- er. Class sponsors were Ann Day and Gary Stark, who helped the juniors in their efforts with prom, which was held May 2 at Stanley Hall. fi. j i fm, 6551-,.,. 1. , if f ,jf f l 5 Q . . , W .

Jesse Buch- holtz won All-League honorable mention for his football contribu- tions, while Jason Kelly excelled on the speech and debate team. Class officers this year were President Nancy Laviolette, Vice President Shellie Duckworth, and SecretaryfTreasurer Stacy McCann. The class representa- tives were David Ranglos and Brian Phillips, with class sponsors Frank Faiella and John Christo- pher. After several successful fund raisers, including the Christmas dance and selling candles, the class put themselves in a good fi- nancial position for the juniorfse- nior prom in '88. When commenting on the class' overall situation, sponsor Faiella said that the class works well when it puts its mind to it, but he was very disappointed with class unity. According to him, only around 15 of the 105 students in the class of '89 participated in class affairs. The class of '89 has become well accepted in the school, and it looks forward to the difference the class should make in the future.

For that reason some of the other students weren't anx- ious for this class to enter high school. For most of the school year, the freshmen proved this reputation wrong by being in- volved in sports, activities and clubs such as football, volleyball, swimming and track. Class oflicers consisted of Ca- sey Speyer-president, Mike Sey- bold-vice president and Jered Wil- . Kevin Allison Shannon Bail Lara Ba mes Kristen ttt ' Bergland is Randy Beutell son-secretaryjtreasurer. StuCo re- presentatives were Jenny Irwin and Sarah Mobus. Class sponsors were Teni Huck and Don Magnuson Following the tradition of homecoming class competition the freshman class came in last place. Amy Garris and Jim Enyeart were the escorts for the occasion. For Morp Erin Thorp and Krista Morgan were candidates for king and queen. After freshman initiation-slave day, the freshmen class started to be less nervous and more sociable with the rest of the school. The freshman class had a dance near the end of the school year which raised money, along with selling Gold C Books, for their future expenses. The class of '90 has changed its reputation for the better. ln the years to come, they will probably keep all of their individualism and spirit, which will help to keep this school going.

The English and science de- partments reverted to normal as Laura Brown and Mary Ann Var- anka returned from their sabbati- cals. Both teachers had been tak- ing courses, Mrs. Brown toward her master's degree, and Ms. Var- anka toward her doctorate. Many teachers had the oppor- tunity to improve their teaching techniques by taking educational workshops instructed by Carol Cummings. Several teachers took the op- portunity to take their classes on field trips, other than the annual state and local government field trip, the Centennial lield trip for cultures students, Math Day at Colorado State University, and for- eign language day for students in French and Spanish. Several teachers announced their plans to leave the school for next year. Charles Arnett will re- turn to his home state of Michigan, Charles Whiting oflicially retired in January and Cathy Mahaffey is tak- ing a year off to work on an ad- vanced degree.

The main issue was the con- tinuing argument over the alterna- tive school calendar. During meet- ing after meeting, the members heard the pros and cons of the 160-day calendar from concerned parents, teachers and students. Fi- nally, on April 29, the board voted to adopt a slightly altered calendar that eliminated five of the four-day weeks but kept the number ofdays the same. On May 5, voters in the district picked two new board members. Ginny Brown won a two-year term and Louise Olson upset Boyd La- Marsh for a four-year term. Ste- phen Gillette and Wesley Metzler won re-election to four-year terms. I-Iigh on the board's list of priorities was finding a replace- ment for Supt. Herb Wenger, who announced his resignation effec- tive June 50. other issues facing the new board included drug use of stu- dents, attendance and numerous personnel decisions. Both the new members and the retuming members of the board will face many problems during the next couple of years. Vice President Peggy Beauchamp summed it up saying, It's going to be a very challenging two years. School board 625 . A is if Support staff Working for a living In order for the school to run smoothly, people must be willing to make extra sacrifices. The sup- port staff's work is often a thank- less job making it easy to forget how hard they actually work, but without their diligent efforts, noth- ing could be accomplished. The veteran custodial crew was spearheaded by Lee Bauer, who has been on the job for nine years. Along with his faithful assis- tants Rick I-louser, John Poulos and Butch Pofahl, they managed to maintain the school in a tidy and immaculate way, cleaning among other things the lunch- room, classrooms, halls, bath- rooms and swabbing the decks outside. Carl Roby and Bernice Roby, along with their trusty crew of cooks, continued to serve good food containing lots of nutrition. The four basic food groups were always represented in some fonfn. Many students have leamed to en- joy this food, although it is often the object of food fights because of its aerodynamic form. ln the main office Gail Rische and Debbie Wach handled the many secretarial tasks. Some of these included answering phones, Secretaries Debbie Wach and Gail Rische work hard to keep the office running. 64 Support staff keeping records, typing letters and assisting students with questions. Guidance secretary Karen Barleen contributed to the cause by working with grades, transcripts and college applications. Rounding out the field of sup- port employees was school nurse Connie Goracke. She attended to students who were sick or injured. Mrs. Goracke also administered health tests and kept records on the results. By working together and going that extra mile, the support staff helped the school run, making it an enjoyable year for everyone. 5 Lee Bauer calls it like he sees it while um- piring a J.V baseball game. 4 f 1 5' 5 I f fs J 93 Z' 2 , K K f W 1 V M 'ff f 1 , , ,, , 2' an ., 1 ' a has, ff f lg, V f W' 77' . , ,,, iz ,,,,,, ..

Between the volleyball team's excitement at the state toumament that brought them third place and the football team's dis- appointing season with a 5-6 record, the Bobcats still kept up an enthusiastic spirit. Girls' and boys' basket- ball, girls' and boys' swim- ming, and wrestling all had outstanding seasons. 6 um YL The baseball team over- came adversity and broke a 55-game losing streak, dat- ing back to the 1985 season by winning three of their last four league games. On the track, athletes showed their individual tal- ents as four girls and seven boys went to the state meet in Grand Junction. Even those students not involved in sports showed great enthusiasm as they cheered on their class- mates. Win or lose, the Bobcats kept their true colors from fading. Golf Just swinging along Golf season opened with a toumament in Estes Park and nice weather, but conditions were not to remain that way all year. The team consisted of seniors Brett Buchholtz, Jim Gerleman, Jason McBride and Swedish for- eign exchange student Martin Neb- relius and junior Rob Christenson. The team competed from late August to mid-October, with three toumaments held before the start of school. Buchholtz said that it was a fair season, with their best outing being the Arvada Invitational on Sept. 15, where they scored below 400 for the first time of the year. Coach Skip Peck said that Nebrelius came close to qualifying ing for state, missing the cut-off by four strokes. He led the squad in scoring and was named the most valuable player. Squad members enjoyed the season, even though team improvement was difficult to note. They competed in Longmont, Exchange student Martin Hebrelius, who led the golfers in scoring, practices his approach shot on the fairway with a seven iron. Greeley and Fort Morgan. The tournament at Fort Mor- gan started in complete fog. A week later, under clear Colorado skies, they finished their season with the district toumament. Coach Peck was pleased with the team's performance. It's a short season, he said, and they did well considering they were competing against much larger schools.

Golf 67 Goin' to state The 1986 edition of Lady 'Cats volleyball was the first in the school's history to finish the sea- son with a win. Only the first and third place finishers at the state toumament can claim that distinc- tion, the latter applies to this squad. With a 20-2 overall record C11- 1 in league playl, the final win over Machebeuf in Colorado Springs was only one of many. At one point, the 'Cats had an 18-game winning streak. The netters won not only the third place 2A state trophy, but also the district championship, the sub-district championship and the Longs Peak League co-cham- pionship, which they shared with Fort Lupton. ln the wake of this highly suc- cessful season, several players were honored bythe league. Chns Chandler, Julee Felsman, Amy La- Violette, Merrie Nichol and Encka Schlagel were given all-league dis- tinction. Lisa Danielson was hon- orable mention all-league. Five of the six starters and six ofthe seven regular players were honored by the LPL. Team co-captains Felsman and Schlagel were chosen to rep- resent the LPL in the All-State games in June. The Lady 'Cats, coached by LPL Coach of the Year, Cathy Ma- haffey, started five seniors and a junior. Chandler, Danielson, Fel- sman, LaViolette and Schlagel were the senior starters. Vanessa Crenving, a junior, started and shared her position with Nichol. Defensive contributions were made by Corrine Porterfield, who came in and gave the 'Cats the win- ning edge in many games. l saw the future four years 68 Volleyball ago with this team. l knew we would make state, Coach Mahaf- fey said, lt kind of sounds comy, but we grew together with a com- mon cause, the five seniors and the coach. Highlights from the season had a theme of revenge. At the season mid-point the 'Cats beat Fort Lupton in a three-game nail- biter, 15-7, 14-16 and 16-14. This win avenged the only loss thus far in the season and elevated Estes into a 9-1 tie with Fort Lupton for the league lead. Poetic justice was also served in the 'Cats district game at home versus the Manitou Springs Mus- tangs. Manitou ended the netters' 1985 season by defeating them in a similar district pairing. This time, however, the Lady 'Cats prevailed, 15-10, 11-15 and 15-4, qualifying for the state tournament. The season's low point was, without a doubt, the team's sec- ond game at the state toumament. After holding a 12-2 lead in the first game against the Brush Beet- diggers, the Lady 'Cats folded un- der the 'Diggers' tough service and succombed to a 15-12 defeat. Coach Mahaffey said, Shock was what made us lose to Brush. We just didn't expect to have the de- fending state champions dovlm 12- 2. The 'Cats went on to lose the match 15-12 and 15-10. At the Fall Sports Banquet, Felsman was named Most Valu- able Player and Best Defensive Player. Felsman and Schlagel tied for Best Offensive Player. Daniel- son was Most Improved Player. Coach Mahaffey's supporting cast was made up by JV coach Kim Wannamaker, freshman coach Jane Nasby and manager Robin Graff.

Volleyball 69 Football Going one yard at a time So close. That was the story of the football team's 1986 cam- paign. Though its record was 5-6, three games were lost by a com- bined nine points. Windsor posed the first test for the Bobcats when Estes went on the road to face the Wizards. The game was tight all the way, but Windsor scored with under one minute left, winning 21-15. Platte Valley became the tar- get of Estes Park's wrath the next week as the Bobcats exploded for 20 fourth quarter points and stopped the Broncos cold 26-8. Class A powerhouse Bennett came to Estes featuring a bal- anced offensive attack. The Bob- cats fought the entire game but fell short, losing 51-21. Games between Weld Central and Estes Park are always close. This year was no exception as only one point decided the winner. The Rebels prevailed 14-15. The Bobcats' second league game was against the Valley Vik- ings, a team Estes has not beaten since the Longs Peak League was formed. The Vikings continued their win streak but not before a hard fought battle. Only a fourth quarter goal line stand preserved a 28-26 Viking Victory. The Bobcats next travelled to Fort Lupton to contest the state- ranked Bluedevils. As it tumed out, it was no contest. The eventu- al state runners-up recovered from an early Estes Park field goal and scored 50 unanswered points, blowing away the Bobcats 50-5.

The final game of the season was against the playoff-bound Ber- thoud Spartans. Berthoud capital- ized on Estes Park mistakes, scor- ing 17 first half points and coasted to victory, 17-6.

However, in taking third they once again proved to be good sports, swim- ming like champions. The season began in early August as the girls became the first to swim in the new Aquatic Center. They held two-a-day prac- tices starting from 6:50 a.m.-7:50 a.m. and 4-6 in the evening. Senior Angie Schreiber said, Ult was hard getting up for practice so early, but it gave us a jump on the other teams and helped us to realize where we needed work. 72 Girls' swimming The team consisted of 18 ded- icated swimmers. The freshman crop added depth, while the seven seniors led the way, guiding the team to a 5-1 dual record. The season began with an im- pressive win over the Windsor Wizzards. Coming off such a satis- fying victory, the girls were next seen in action at the Eaton Relays, finishing in fifth place. Senior Beth Rische said, 'tlt was a great experi- ence being with the 5A and 4A schools and we leamed a lot from swimming against them.

As a result, the boys' team placed 15th. Coach Dave Ohlde said, I don't think we could have done much better. John ran his best race and Jay Watson ran his best race. Clark and Ohlde, however, did qualify for the state meet because Clark captured second place, and Ohlde finished ninth. At the state meet held in Pueblo, Ohlde was able to im- prove on last year's 18th place showing with an impressive 15th.

Cheerleaders 77 Girls' basketball Good to the last shot The Ladycats finished their season with a loss in the district toumament to Platte Valley, who later took first place in state. They had a very enjoyable and successful season as they made it all the way to the district playoff for the first time in EPHS history. The Ladycats finished the sea- son second in league with a 15-7 record. They opened their season with a loss to Fort Lupton 48-52. Fort Lupton had only one league loss, which came later in the sea- son to Estes Park. The girls got their confidence up to a high by the end of the sea- son to challenge Valley and Fort Lupton in sub-districts at Butler- Hancock. The Ladycats advanced in the playoffs, beating Valley 41-58 and then losing a tough one to Fort Lupton 40-52, which still got them to the district playoff. They then lost a close game to the Platte Val- ley Broncos 54-46. Coach Jerry Mclvlurry was very pleased with how far the girls got and how much they have im- proved. He recognized all the players at the winter sports awards ban- quet on March 11. The following girls received special awards: Most valuable player and all conference - Amy LaViolettep best offensive and all- conference - Ericka Schlagel, top rebounder - Marcie Henderson, best free throw percentage - Merrie Nichol, best defensive play- er - Wendy Hurlbertp and most improved - Kasie Fogleman.

At last - The basketball season proved to be a success for the boys' cag- ers, having a 12-7 record overall and ending 6-6 and tied for fourth place in the league standings. The boys went into the season feeling it was their year for victory. Coach Craig Belshe said, lf we can pull things together this could be our season. They had a few setbacks with Scott Shanafelt missing four games because of a sprained ankle and Mike O'Rior- dan missing a few because of mono. Shanafelt again was the team's top rebounder, scorer and 80 Boys' basketball a winning shot blocker, plus being added to the all-league squad for his third consecutive year. Shanafelt also earned the honor of all-state for 2A recipients. The 'Cats had six returning seniors including Shanafelt, O'Riordan, Mark Allen, Jon Baker, Darren Koretko and Shell Ring. Ring led the team defensively and also in assists, and was the team's ball handler. Baker was the team's second leading rebounder and helped with the ball handling.

The season started off at a low point with Windsor beating Estes, giving the 'Cats their first loss of the season at the opening dual meet held in the Estes Park Aquat- ic Center. The following meet was the Valley Invitational in which the squad was thinned out to only eight members due to illness and jobs. Many personal bests were tumed in but the team placed low. Following the Eaton Relays and a loss at the Valley dual, the team gradually started their climb back on the winning track. They won their final three dual meets of the season against Fort Lupton, Eaton and Sheridan, and had a good showing at the Greeley Invitational against several top AAA schools. The team made an impressive appearance with Mark Gregg tak- ing eighth in the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:00.89, and the 400 yard freestyle relay consisting of Gregg, Todd Kutin, Bob Rinella and Reid Ritschard capturing sixth with a 5:47.19. Their winning streak just wasn't enough though, as the Vik- ings took control and won the AA Invitational. After being in third place be- hind Valley and Windsor, Gregg and Rinella pulled in four first places to help tie Windsor. It finally came down to the 400 yard free- style relay in which Gregg, Kutin, Rinella, and Ritschard combined to beat the Wizards and capture second place. 'lGood attitude and good character can take people far, Coach Bob Johnson said. Boys' swimming 85 Wrestling A team moving up The wrestling team gained for themselves the best season ever. They had three dual meet wins, which included the first league win in over four years, against Valley, and placed well in the various tour- naments, including the district toumament. The team did well out on the mat because of intensive training in the practice room. With the leadership of five seniors - Seth Campbell, Scott Ranzau, Scott Rayboum, Bill Sartorius and Taka Suzuki - the rest of the team did well and should do well in the fu- ture with the strong batch of re- turning juniors. They included Dan Brooks, Dan Phipps, Mike Raybourn and Derek Shideler. Sophomores in- cluded Jesse Buchholtz, Joe Lundstrom, Clary Sandau and Jim Schaefer, while Justin Riedesel was the only freshman. The team also sent three peo- ple to state - Mike Rayboum in the heavyweight division, Scott Rayboum in the 158 pound weight class and Shideler in the 98 pound weight class.

The runners had not expected much after losing some good track talent, but with four freshmen and onejunior added to the returning squad, they surprised themselves. Starting slow, they were plagued with small numbers and failed to score at the l-lighland Re- lays or the Windsor Invitational. Following this the girls were shut domm at the dual meet with Lyons, and Corrine Porterfield pul- led in the only points in the 100m hurdles for the team at the Blue- devil Classic. The girls started coming alive as they traveled to Ault and re- ceived one second place, three thirds, one fifth and one sixth to pull out an overall ninth place. Combined with the strong boys' team, the girls' second place .'5200m relay and third place weightman's relay helped bring in a seventh place at the Lyons Re- lays.

The pressure began to build as the district qualifying meet ap- proached. Only Porterfield was seeded first, but many oth ers were in the top three. As the meet proceeded, many impressive showings were turned in, although several runners were bumped from their seeded places. The 400m relay team was sur- prised as they were passed by in the final leg and missed placing in the top three, and Wendy l'lurlbert placed fourth after being nipped out of the 500m hurdles by .1 sec- onds. Porterfield shined all the way as she qualified in the 100m and 500m hurdles, and the 800m med- ley relay. Corrine Ohlde, up against some tough competition, placed second in the 1600m run and helped bring in the third place medley relay. Lauren Anderson and Merrie Nichol completed the medley relay roster. Although the girls failed to score at the state meet in Grand Junction, Porterfield made it to the finals of the 500m hurdles and placed seventh. Ohlde ran her best time of the year in the 1600, 5:45, but did not make it to finals. Porterfield received the most valuable runner award, Ohlde re- ceived the team leader award, Patti Crain received the most im- proved runner award and Kasey Speyer received the rookie of the year award.

The 20 members of the boys' track team encountered about the same variety in results as they did in weather patterns, as the team placed as high as second and as low as 10th. During the season, three school records were broken, two by junior John Clark and one by freshman Ron Wach. Clark shattered the mark in the 1600 meter run as he ran a 4:27.8, while in the 5200 meters he recorded the school's best time of 10:05.0. Wach surprised many people as he shattered the discus record in his first high school meet. He went on to break his omm record time and time again, finally culmi- nating his season with a toss of 156'11 , only eight feet short of the state record. Coach Dave Ohlde said of the throw, lf it had had any height on it, it would have easily broken the state record fof 165 feet3. The team as a whole im- proved vastly as the season pro- gressed, recording second-place finishes at the Eaton-Highland ln- vitational tout of 15 teams3 and at the district meet tout of seven teams3. During the state meet in Grand Junction, both Clark and Wach continued their winning ways. Clark finished second in the 1600 and fifth in the 5200, while Wach easily won the discus, beat- ing the second-place throw by over 20 feet. Wach's gold medal at state completed his undefeated season. Clark and Wach accounted for all of the Bobcats' scoring at the meet, as the team finished 10th with 20 points. The season did not end for Clark and Wach at the state meet, however. Because of their perfor- mances, both were invited to par- ticipate in the Rocky Mountain News' Meet of Champions. Placed against the top athletes from all classifications, Clark finished fifth in the 1500 and Wach placed fourth in the discus. At the annual awards ban- quet, Clark was named Most Valu- able, Wach received the Rookie of the Year award, Jason McBride was the Most Improved and Dirk Speyer was the team leader.

The team then went on to split a doubleheader with the Weld Central Rebels. The three wins put the Bobcats in fifth place in the league standings, which was im- portant because it let the 'Cats avoid the second-place 10-2 Ber- thoud Spartans. There was a tie in the league with Fort Lupton and Erie tied with 7-5 records. This called for a coin flip which set the stage for the 'Cats to face off with the Erie Tigers in the first round of the sub-district playoffs. The 'Cats had lost their first two games against the Tigers, which put them as the underdog. But behind excellent hitting and pitching from Mark Rowland, the Bobcats come out victorious. The 'Cats then advanced to the semi-fi- nals against the undefeated Valley Vikings. The 'Cats had been shelled 20-O and 14-6 in their previous meetings, but the 'Cats were much improved and held the Vikings to just seven runs, but still lost 7-O, which ended their season with a 4- 15 record. The team is only losing two starters from the season. Coach Perry Black said, 'llf the team con- tinues to improve and they play hard, they have a good chance for the league title next year. At the annual awards picnic three awards were given. Robby James won the high batting aver- age, Rowland won MVP, while in- fielder Wade Riedesel won Golden Cilove.

Sports overview Good, better, best Each year at the high school, history is made. Whether a team goes farther than ever before or does its worst, it's still history. There will never be another year exactly the same. The thrill of winning a close game or the frustration of the one- point heartbreakers will be in the minds of the players for years to come, but will never change. To many, scores or times don't matter. The satisfaction of knowing they worked as hard as possible is good enough. For others though, that is not quite enough.

The 1987 school year may have been one of the most suc- cessful years in sports. Many goals were reached and many teams im- proved. The senior girls, with three years of experience behind them, led the volleyball team to a win- ning season. They were co-league champs with Fort Lupton 120-25, beating Weld Central for the sub- district title, Manitou Springs for the district title, and eventually capturing third place at the State 2A toumament. The football team bettered its record from 2-7 in 1985 to 5-6, the cross-country team sent two run- ners to state, and the girls' swim team placed third at the 2A Invita- tional. Both basketball teams went to Butler-I-Iancock, where the girls placed second and advanced to the district game. The boys' swim team captured second place at the 2A Invitational. The wrestlers won their first tournament trophy in eight years, their first league dual in four years, and they sent three to state. Derek Shideler won the first district title in 11 years. Rounding out the year, the baseball team bettered its record by winning four of their last six games to end 4-15, the girls' track team sent four runners to the state meet, and the boys' team sent sev- en and placed 10th. Although not every team showed improvement, all the ath- letes gained a little more experi- ence and knowledge to better themselves for the future. Sports overview 97 World and local news A world of change The summer of '86 began with one of the most memorable Amer- ican traditions, the 4th of July. It was the Statue of Liberty's 100th birthday, and for a moment the na- tion paused for a burst of patriotic pride. The city of New York hon- ored the Lady with fireworks, songs and celebrities. Meanwhile, other major events were taking place around the world. ln the Philippines after 20 years of ruling, dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos was forced from office. A new president, Corazon Aquino, is faced with political and econom- ic turmoil. On Oct. 11-12 President Ron- ald Reagan and Mikhail Gorba- chev met in Iceland for arms talks. The two leaders reached an im- passe on testing of the U.S. Star Wars weaponry. A month later the president had to face the most embarrassing conflict within his administration: The Iran-Contra Scandal. Top offi- cials and members of the cabinet were questioned by a Senate com- mittee. Both the scandal and the Democrats controlling both hous- es will make a difficult presidency for the next two years. Health was also a major issue. A new drug, crack, came on the scene. It is considered the most addictive and dangerous drug ever in the streets of America. AIDS cases rose during the year and the predictions for the fol- lowing years are not very optimis- tic. The fatal illness has spread around the world in a short space of time. Congress is working on legislation that will provide medi- cal research and care. The sports world brought good news to the United States. 98 World and local news The America's Cup, held in Austra- lia, returned to U.S. shores.

Coloring it . . . over As the last student checked out of school on May 29, a sigh of relief came from the students and faculty alike. The three-month vacation came after a year of many diverse events, such as the 'louthouse caper and the first and probably last scavenger hunt.
