Florence High School - Husky La Bran Yearbook (Florence, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1977 volume:

The IDEAL year, the IDEAL yearbook. With the students, the school, the whole world speeding up, moving at a faster pace, what would be more ideal than a modern, trucking theme ? Ideally, the 1977 HUSKY will be held together by an on-the-road feeling. STOP!, and think. Where would we be without roads, road signs, tires, cars, and trucks ? Right here. Uh-huh. Stuck in one place our entire life. But we want to keep moving, change our positions, in life as well as in reality. We need new goals to reach for, and places to go to get them. Roads are used to get everywhere. The HUSKY staff also used a road, but to attain a goal the 1977 HUSKY, the IDEAL yearbook. 5 6 O' No pedestrians! No one was allowed to be a pedestrian this year. They couldn't walk through any of the events. Ideal events were on the road, continually moving—FHS students, too. What comes out of a school is a reflection of what is in it. Events that went ideally could only come from an ideal school—which continues to be an FHS characteristic. Events were idealized—by students and faculty alike. No one walked through events—they participated. It was an ideal year for events. I And what do I hear for this pair of legs? The leg auction on Wednesday was just one The 1976-77 Homecoming float was made up with ail classes and Student Council participating. Smiling Homecoming Queen Lome with escort Joe The bonfire was built by the frosh class. more event for Homecoming week. It, along with Hat Day Monday and Sock Day Tuesday, was termed a success. Royalty for Homecoming was announced at Friday afternoon's pep assembly along with escorts. Halftime activities were performed by the Florence High School Band and Golden Girls. Feelings was played for the crowning of the attendants at Friday night's football game. Chosen by the student body, Lorrie Martin, Homecoming Queen, reigned over week-long festivities and the Homecoming dance. The crowning of King Jerry Quintana highlighted the Powder Puff football game Thursday night. The senior and frosh girls pitted their strength and determination against the junior and sophomore girls and came out ahead 12-6 at the final gun . Also recognized at halftime were the king's attendants Albert Snyder, senior; Dan Martin, junior; Don Hand, sophomore; and Mike Goodall, frosh. Shortly after the Powder Puff game, the frosh-built bonfire slowly burned to the ground. Meanwhile, the traditional snake dance wound its way down Main Street. A cheering rally was held under the stoplight. Florence High School added memories for the Homecoming pep assembly. Music creates the funky chicken. Students dance to the sounds of Great Speckled Bird at the Old Gymnasium Homecoming Queen Lorrie Martin was presented at the pep assembly Friday afternoon. Immediately following were the car parade and contest. Different awards were given to cars entered in the parade. FHS modernized and broke away from the tradition of each class making their own float. Everyone united their efforts to make one float representing the entire school. Classes were held, for the first time in history, on Thursday afternoon. Therefore, only a selected few got out to work on the float which showed the Huskie Machine rolling over the Demons. Riding around the field at halftime are Patty Espinoza and Kathy Pennebaker. 18 Despite the cold weather. Powder Puff king and his attendants were crowned. The Buena Vista Demons, however, won the Homecoming football game, defeating the Huskies 40-0 . Queen Lorriewas crowned at halftime and reigned over the festivities with her court. Her attendants were Kathy Pennebaker, senior; Patty Espinoza, junior; Lory Alvidrez, sophomore; and Rhonda DeAngelo, frosh. Afterward, the Florence band Great Speckled Bird played at the dance which was held in the Old Gymnasium from 10 p.m.-12:30 a .m . Itwas the first dance to ever be held past midnight at FHS. Ended, but not forgotten. . .Homecoming 1976 will remain in the Huskies as well as the HUSKY. Getting down to rock 'n roll music, the homecoming band Great After some boogie and hustle, Rhonda DeAngelo and Speckled Bird was at home in Florence, where it originated. Lory Alvidrez take a break from the dance. Drip . . . drip drip . . . Rain on Apple Day; sun on Pioneer Day. That was about the only difference. Both Penrose and Florence enjoyed large turnouts for their parades. Prize-winning floats and bands made up the displays that wound down separate Main Streets. Apple pie and games were enjoyed in the Penrose park with Queen Lori Munson and attendants Paula Whitlow and Betty Limberis reigning. On the other hand, a more carnival-like atmosphere surrounded Pioneer Park with the many different booths sponsored by school and community clubs. Apple Day was terminated with the annual dance held at the Penrose gym, where Queen Lori and her court led the Queen's dance. Pioneer Day was ended when the last pioneer struggled out of the park, full of memories of another wonderful afternoon . Queen and court reign over Apple Day Festivities. Despite the rain, Kim Jones enjoys Apple Day. Extravaganza Extraspecial 22 Featuring . . . you name it. A little bit of everything in school life was shown at the FHS Extravaganza, which welcomed pupils, parents and public. Performances, demonstrations, exhibits and displays were featured at the third annual Extravaganza. The event had a fair-like flavor. It was successfully organized by Vern Roberts, Art Instructor. The potter's wheel highlighted art exhibits at Extravaganza. The machine shop showcased tools during Extravaganza night. Welding students displayed their talents. 23 So were enough students and faculty to make the senior class Sweetheart Dance successful—again. Love was there. So was Misty Mountain. Sweetheart Swings The traditional dance was held on Feb. 11. Music was played by rock band Misty Mountain. The King and Queen enjoyed the dance. Crowned midway through the dance.

Disco lights added to murals and crepe paper decorations. Blossom Day would not be right without the band leading the parade. A first for the Rialto. It held the Blossom Festival queen pagent. Blossom BudsSnow Slushes Entering the contest were three Florence girls, Lorrie Martin, Julie Smith and Kim Jones. However, all chosen royalty were from Canon City. Several Florence groups participated in the parades on April 30 and May 1 . The Huskies were the lead band on Saturday. A snowball is a little round cold thing to throw at someone, right? Wrong! December 3, it was a dance put on by Men's F-Club. Queen Cindy Tensley and King Al Snyder reigned at the disco dance. Disco waltzers Jim Barrows and Brenda Birdsall dance.

Servers for Prom wore pajamas to match the theme Tonight's the Night, chosen by the junior class. Reigning at Prom, Queen Suzi Goodall and King Joe Quintana take a lead dance to the floor. A night not to be forgotten. After the buffet dinner, the Pueblo band Natural Feeling provided rock music for the Prom dance. Decorations matched the theme Tonight's the Night.

Addressing the graduating class of 1977, Valedictorian Peggy Widener gives her farewell speech to seniors. Beginning the commencement exercises, class salutatorian Kathy Button welcomes the crowd. Yield! That's what FHS opponents did this year for the Huskies. They had no choice. Florence athletes rolled along, point by point, inch by inch, goal by goal. Whether or not the final score showed it, they were ideal winners in every event, in every sport. Idealistic players struggled to meet or beat the high standards set by themselves. In most cases, these goals were idealistically surpassed. It was an ideal year for sports. Football Fumbles The season that wore on and on. And on. During his fifth year of coaching the Huskies, Coach Burleson felt that his team lacked a real desire to make contact as a group.

Inexperience plagued the gridders as the young ball club had only six seniors. However, these top players made quite a contribution to the team. The Huskie Pack Will Be Back! Underclassmen gained experience during the season which will certainly prove to be beneficiary. On the other hand, they do need to dedicate themselves to the task and work year 'round to accomplish their goals. Holding on are Tom Fabrizio, Tom Tedesko, and Jerry Quintana.

The other highlight of the year was when, for the second year in a row, Florence was the first in the Pikes Peak League to score against the top-ranked Salida Spartans. Although Lake County was the only team defeated by Florence, Burleson felt the Huskies played better in a 34-30 loss to Lewis-Palmer.

Skills and teamwork were worked on and improved. 'Plus. . We Had Pride!' Mental attitude makes the difference between champions and a second or third place.

Tourney Terrors They lost twice as many as they won, but the Huskie roundballers still ended up in the district tournament. How? It was, apparently, very easy. In the highlight of the year, the Huskies tromped Buena Vista and St. Mary's in the PPL tourney, throwing FHS into the championship game against Lewis-Palmer. Falling in that game to the tune of 72-59, the players then traveled to Holy Family, coming away on the short end of a 77-55 district final. The Huskies snapped a 23-game, three-year winning streak on their home court by losing three games in one week. This losing streak helped lower the team into its sixth-place tie in regular league play. Coach Gribben felt that the team's 7-15 record might have been improved, had they been more war-like. But they always conducted themselves in a very gentlemanly manner, both on and off the court. They were a team to be proud of. Winning is Not the Only Thing. Gribben said the Huskies were first-class individuals and never had to take the back seat to anyone. He was never ashamed of the team of hard workers . Five of the twelve varsity basketball lettermen were seniors and special-award winners. Nick Mata (most assists—50; most steals—70; best free throw percentage —73%), Albert Snyder (most rebounds— 252; most blocked shorts—30; best hustler), Jerry Quintana (most improved), Harry Gray (best field goal percentage— 47%) and Gerald Ellis were key players for the team.

Although they were behind most of the season, the girls always approached the game with a lot of pride and desire. Highlights of the season came when the Huskiettes showed they could play as a team, both on offense and defense.

Four dual matches were won, a change from none won last year. The Season Was an Interesting One. The majority of the team that finished the season (26 out of 30) were frosh and sophomores who improved tremendously every week and gained valuable experience. All that finished the year were hard workers, great to work with and dedicated to the sport, according to Stimits. As a whole, FHS wrestlers took fifth place at the district tournament, a mere three points behind fourth-place Lewis-Palmer. Two Huskies were sent to the state tourney in Denver.

There is one way to be regarded as an equal— join groups. Ideal groups were the one way to get involved without the use of athletics or academics. All were invited to turn one way and enter. Ideally, everyone wants to be accepted. Joining things is just one way to do it. Ideal groups with ideal members—they were getting involved. 70 It was an ideal year for groups.

Watch out, we're here! So everybody stand clear! We're at the peak of our winning streak so hey! Everybody stand clear! This was just one of many cheers used by FHS cheerleaders to arouse spirit. Spirit was their main objective, out itwas obtained in many ways. The first chance the separate squads had to work together was at a summer clinic held at Doherty High School. Here they were the only AA school to receive a trophy. They were rated excellent. Excellent together, and if anything, better apart.

Yearbook Yeai, Newspaper Nay THE IDEAL YEARBOOK Early in the fall, the editorial staff chose a word theme revolving around the community's Ideal Basic Industry. Faced with the challenge of topping the Centennial edition rated number one in the state by Colorado Scholastic Press Association, the 1977 HUSKY staff attempted to improve on a near-perfect publication. Their Unstopping Determination Surpassed My Expectations. Under advisor Rob Wilson, many changes were made in an attempt to improve the book's contents. The staff chose a new layout scheme—imaginary line—to accompany its theme. More copy, color and artwork were added than ever before in order to achieve the ideal yearbook. Heading the ideal staff of 21 members were co-editors Peggy Widener and Bill Barr, copy editor Debbie Wands and index photo editor Adele Wollman.

The Husky Voice attempted to go offset in 1976-77, thus replacing the old-fashioned dogma of a mimeographed press. After two consecutive years of record-breaking publications in terms of volume, the Voice fell to three issues produced in volume 12. 'We Suffered From a Breakdown.1 Resulting in this breakdown between staff and administration, production was limited to one issue during the first semester. Under advisor Rob Wilson and editor-in-chief Judy Garcia, staff attitudes improved slightly the second semester. However, overlapping strained relations hindered production throughout the year. The staff of eight members the first semester increased to 21 midyear. The combination Journalism l newspaper staff class presented problems that were too difficult to overcome. It was definitely not an ideal year for the Husky Voice.

Gas, anyone? You know—the kind for your car! Buy a ticket for fifty cents, and you might win fifty gallons. Several times throughout the year Men's F-Club held gas raffles. For another money-making project, the club held Snowball Dance. We Had Excellent Leadership. Rich Burleson felt the group was relatively active. To start the year, new members were initiated in November. Think! It's hard for some, it's easy for some, but it's always worthwhile. Idealistically, everyone thinks. Thoughts are in everyone's head— good, bad, or indifferent—they're there. The students in this section thought ideally—about their school work. They thought about the right things, and they deserve credit for it. Ideal teachers are also shown here— they're the ones that must think. If they don't, how can they teach students to think ? It was an ideal year for academics. 100 Summer Scholars 102 Chosen for Girls State, junior Kathy Lovato learned student leadership responsibilities in Boulder. Summer school ? Not really . But for Boys and Girls State delegates from FHS, it provided leadership opportunities at Colorado State University and the University of Colorado, Boulder. Government policies and procedures were stressed at the American Legion Auxiliary program. Representing FHS boys at the conference were Cecil Nelson and Kelly King, while Kathy Lovato and Paula Whitlow represented FHS girls. Alternates included Nan Anderson, Gloria Herrera, Dan McClain and Dan Adamson. While these four students were learning new facets about school government, two other students became involved in the Leaders of Tomorrow workshop in Greeley. They were Sandy Bueno and Patty Camerlo, the only twosome named from a class AA high school to participate in the monthlong seminar at the University of Northern Colorado. Named to Boys State, Kelly King and Cecil Nelson attended CSU in July. During the summer of 1977, Paula Whitlow represented FHS at Girls State. Administration Anticipates Heading the school district are Wayne Strickland, Superintendent Barto Babitz and Victor Becco. 104 At the December meeting, school board members discuss the budget for the 1976-77 school year. 105 When problems arise, students can turn to counselors Sandra Orton and Frank Morelll for a helping hand. School secretaries sort report cards. Problems are solved by principal Ben Zamarrlpa and Eddieray Pierce. The administration secretaries begin a busy day. At the movies describes English I classes.

Floyd Babcock Lee Wilson It was only four years ago when we first came to Florence High School as young freshmen; seems like it was just yesterday . Throughout our time together, we have grown closer and sometimes apart, we have watched old friends leave and new ones take their place. We've shared in many disappointments and in many sorrows but still lived on and grew as students of Florence High. came to a close with a fund-raisingchili dinner and past memories of the state and district basketball tournaments. No longer underclassmen, work began on ways to raise money for the junior-senior prom. Candles were sold and a Stairway to Heaven theme was chosen. The efforts of our class were finally seen when prom took place in May. Fresh out of junior high, we stepped up to the challenge of difficult changes but we also stepped up with many goals in mind . Homecoming helped to boost our morale with our bonfire. Unfortunately, we still carried fourth place in float competition as freshmen have before us. Not much was really accomplished the first year of high school but we can say: We became a real part of FHS . As sophomores, things began to get underway. An Italian Sausage Booth was set up in Pioneer Park to help celebrate Pioneer Day and raise some money. The oncoming days were drown together with the ordering of class rings and the excitement of receiving them. All too soon, the year It seemed like becoming a part of the senior class would take forever but it didn't. Caps and gowns were measured, announcements ordered and senior pictures taken. However, our last year wasn't all roses . Floyd Babcock was to be a senior but due to a jeep accident near Wetmore, Floyd died June 16, 1976. Lee Wilson, also a senior, died on New Year's Eve in a hit and run accident on Highway 50. Finally the day came when 104 of us gath ered tor the last time. There were promises of let's keep in touch and don't forget me but time was now our own responsibility .

Smiling, Lorrle Martin receives diploma and congratulations from school board member Gene Weise. MVvj Game Crossing! Juniors are called many different things—perhaps animals is the most accurate. Game crossing describes the average junior's school life. In a year or two, it will be time to grow up—but for now, have fun, do whatever comes naturally. Go ahead, be an animal. It's acceptable in today's society. Juniors are still in the mainstream, drinking up all the facets of school life. They are growing and learning—well, as much as animals can. It was an ideal year for juniors. Juniors Journey JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: (Bottom Row) Dan McClain, Treasurer; Tom Fabrizio.

Prom was off to a good start after the junior class sold lightbulbs as its class project to raise money. 138 Anyone want to buy a lightbulb? This year the junior class sold them to raise money for the junior-senior prom. They also raised money by selling concessions all year long at sports activities. They raised $1,500. Juniors were active during Homecoming week. Representing the junior class in the royalty was Patty Espinoza. John Merriam and Chuck Smith were the class sponsors. It Has Been an Interesting Year. Prom this year was at a distance. It was held at the Ramada Inn in Pueblo. The theme this year was Tonight's the Night and Natural Feeling provided the music.

Sophomores detoured—or tried to— everything they could find to detour. They evaded teachers. They went around classrooms. And most of all, they avoided homework. Any plausible excuse to keep away from school. Just make it through this year, and half of this ideal high school life is over. Some thought they would never make it this far. A few were dubious of the years to come. Others wished it was already a year or two later. 140 It was an ideal year for sophomores. Sophs Suffer Support your school, wear a Husky belt buckle! That is what the class of 1979 did for a money-making project. The sophomores took an interest in selling belt buckles for $6 .00 each . Roxie Boyd was one of the sophomore sponsors. The Students Co-Operated in Selling Them. ____________ SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: S hand a Downer, Student Council; Christa Harris, Vice President; Annette Trujillo, President; Ron Gasser, Student Council; Carla Espinoza, Treasurer; and Debbie Barnes, Secretary. Lory Alvidrez was chosen as the Sophomore Attendant this year. Along with Lory, three other attendants and the queen participated in the many activities during Homecoming week. To take the place of Career English as previously required, a new English II class was offered to the sophomores. A new requirement, the members of the class of 1979 looked to graduation as they reached the midway point of their school years.

It describes frosh perfectly. It's no use proceeding any further—don't even try. These youngsters of the school are a dead end—don't waste time on them. The first year in Big High School Life—it can be a little scary. With Big, Mean Seniors staring down. But then, realization dawns. The Big High School really isn't so big, and the Big, Mean Seniors really aren't so big and mean. Dead end?—maybe. But perhaps there is hope for them after all. 148 It was an ideal year for frosh.

The frosh class had to for its moneymaking project of selling concessions. They really didn't start the year very well, not getting a good first project. But sharing is better than nothing at all. The highlight of Homecoming activities for the frosh class was naming Rhonda DeAngelo as attendant. The seniors were joined by the frosh girls in the Powder Puff game which was exciting for them as it was their first game as a football player. David Lozano, frosh class president, said he did not think they accomplished a whole lot. But they did have a successful bonfire and classmates helped sell concessions at baseball games. Mel Smith, frosh class sponsor, said the frosh were a bunch of pups that didn't do much. They sold concessions and refreshments in the back of his car for their only project. The Frosh Did Very Well in Sports. One uneventful happening was the death of Laurie Hardin. Laurie and her family lost their lives in an unnecessary tragedy. The Hardins were found slain early Friday morning, August 27, the third day of school.

In my three-year tenure at the helm of the Husky, my students became quite accomplished at doling out the unenviable task of producing a yearbook — not an annual. We did such seemingly simple things as changing from school colors in 1975 to being old-fashioned during the Centennial days of 1976 to making this progressive yearbook of 1977. an idealistic attempt to say the least. Ideally, future staffs will look to this product as a model book to learn from—one that isn't as stuffy or backwards as the annuals of past years. And. ideally, they will try again to surpass an ideal of excellence in theme design. Realistically, there's more to these pages than meets the eye. And. it will take another truckload of work to unfold a yearbook ideology greater than ours. We couldn't have attained another top-ranked publication without the driving desires of many. My editorial staff grueled unendingly at times to achieve the ideal theme. Bill never quit on a tire track that no vehicle will travel; Peggy thought of splendid picture ideas to compliment the theme; Debbie wrote until the typewriter asked her to stop for a rest; and A dele remained patient enough to compile the final segment of any yearbook, the index. And me? I came to this small town to be a teacher and a teacher was. My only hope is that each of my students will someday in the future remember me for that endeavor. know that when I think back on these years I'll remember most of them as good students—without a yearbook.

In August when we began to create the Ideal Husky, we felt we had more time than we would ever be able to use. As we finally completed the book in the middle of June, we realized how much time it really takes to complete the project. Not just anyone can put together a yearbook and have it come out looking ideal like this one. It takes a lot of work, patience, decisions, knowhow, and care for a yearbook to become successful like the Ideal Husky. Without our friend and advisor, the staff of the 1977 yearbook never would have reached their goal. It was Mr. Robert Wilson who helped us to reach our goal and make our dreams come true. He gave that extra push when we really needed it and stuck in there when times were rough. It is this man we have to be so thankful for because this book would never have been ideal without an advisor like him. We are very happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to work under a very special person like Mr. Wilson. We have to say good-bye to him now, but through the Ideal Husky he will live on at Florence High School. Someday we will look back and see what an ideal year this was, but this book will make it just a little more enjoyable to remember all those good times we spent together. The 1977 staff was an enjoyable staff to work with. They worked hard, stuck together like a family, and helped each other with all the problems that arise in doing a yearbook. We feel everyone did a fantastic job to help make this book ideal. After months of hard work, a lot of fun, and some tears, our dream to create the ideal yearbook became a reality.
