They are the ones who care about what they do. who set goals and strive to reach them; whether it’s obtaining a state championship or achieving a better than average score on the ACT. Just look at all the ways we’re winners at Florence High School. The championships we’ve won have instilled in all of us a new sense of pride and loyalty. It’s something you can feel anytime you attend a school function or are just walking down the halls. We care about who we are and what we represent, whether on the field or in the classroom. In ’84, the year of the Husky, we are champions.

Mr. Hazelip. Mr. Barber. Mr. Bur- leson and Mr. Cogan do their best to overcome the students in the tug-of-war competition held during Homecoming week. Once again, the students were victorious. Well, here we are, one more year in the life of a Florence High School student. What’s so great about that? We sit in class and make fun of the school lunches, teachers and school in general just like all average Ameri- can high school students. But, while we’re contemplating mutiny second hour, we’ve still got a very special feeling about our school and what we’re doing here. That feeling is called pride. Pride runs strong here. It’s the one thing we all have in com- mon as we cheer our champs on to victory or compete against other classes at noon to see who’s the greatest. Sometimes things may get a little hectic, even just a little wild; but the time we spend here is truly special and unique. It is also very short, and all too soon, we’ll just have those memories to look back on and smile (or maybe even laugh) about. But those memories will last forever - the finest things do. Memo- ries we will keep with pride-’83 - the year of the Champion at FHS. 3 Left: Tad Drake lends a helping hand to the U.N. Club doughnut sales before school. Punks Jennifer Lindsey. Suzy Tiffany.

During the final few weeks before the State Football Championships, the Husky Spirit was visible to everyone in Florence. Slaves Matthew Shirola and Jeff Peterson run from the dreaded Husky at the Homecoming Slave Auction. 5 Champions ’83 was a year when nothing happened as expected. Picked as runners-up in pre-season polls, a supposed- ly rebuilding Husky squad surprised the experts, and nearly everyone else by capping a perfect season with a 21 -14 victory over defending State Champion Brush. Even the title game had some unexpected surprises. The Husky defense, given a supporting role all sea- son to the high-flying offense, rose to the occasion and scored two first half touchdowns. The offense, playing against a tough Brush team, faced an even tougher challenge when dense fog took away the medium to long range passes so important to the Husky game plan. But the Huskies, as they have done all season, held on to overcome all the disadvantages (terrible play- ing conditions. Brush home field advantage) to take the State trophy. Coach Cogan, after the game com- mented on his ‘over-looked’ squad: “1 guess, more than anything else, the boys just believed in them- selves.” That belief, and the determination to over- come the predictions of the experts, made believers out of everyone. The final horn brings victory, and the start of a tremendous mid-field celebration to an ecstatic Husky squad. Joey Marschall. Kevin Kulick. Shannon Waller. Mike Whaley. Tony Stapleton.

The long hours of practice certainly paid off. The season was successful not only for the team, but for individuals too ' said Fedde. It certainly was a year of achievements - both the girls' and boys' vasrity teams took second place in league competition, and both teams qualified full teams for the State meet. During the season every runner achieved a personal best time, and two school records were broken. With only two runners being lost to graduation, the Huskies can look forward to another great season in '84.

The varsity had an overall record of 8 wins and 1 loss and a 6 and 0 league record. The team won the league championship and placed third In the district tournament. Although the team did not do as well as expected at the district meet, 8 people placed a 4 people qualified for state. Teddy McCorkle, Ken Guillermo, Butch Faoro, and Julian Herrera earned places at state by finishing first, first, second and second respectively. Because of a loss in the wrestle backs, Brian Addington, who placed second in his class, did not qualify for state. Also placing were Avery Guillermo and Jin Hayashl taking third and Ted Stenzil taking fourth. Ken Guillermo did very well at state, taking third place in his division. The junior varsity team also had a very successful winning season. (Right) The 1983-84 varsity wrestling team. Back row: Coach Dennis Solo. Carl Guillermo, Rob DeWall.

Led by the shooting and rebounding of Durk Himes, the defense and hustle of Jim Adamson, the Huskies put a team on the floor remarkable for its height and depth. Those qualities took the team all the way to the State Championship game, where poor shooting and rebounding led to an upset of the Huskies by the tournament’s Cinderella team, Glenwood Springs. The year began with the Huskies ranked first in the state polls, a ranking they quickly defended with lop-sided victories over their opponents. With the quickness of Robby Villagrana and Bobby Toler at guard, the height and muscle of Tony Stapleton and Jim Adamson underneath, and Durk Himes cleaning the boards, the Huskies left no doubt of their right to the number one spot. During these games the depth of the Huskies began to show, as guards Jon Dickey, Mike Whaley and Randy Toler and forwards Don Bost, Harvey Carey and Don Whaley came off the bench to keep up the Husky attack. The Huskies suffered only one defeat in league play at the hands of the Trojans from Fountain Ft. Carson, but they claimed the league crown by defeating the Trojans on the home court. During the league tournament, the Huskies were upset in the final game by the Trojans, but took a home court advantage into the sub-districts of the state tournament because of their league crown. At home the Huskies put away the defending state champion Denver Christian team, then continued into the final game by defeating both Delta and Holy Family. In the final game the Huskies led the Mustangs from Glenwood Springs most of the game, but the final minutes saw a furious Glenwood comeback upset the Huskies and sent them home with the second place trophy. Their season ended with a 22-3 mark, the second best in school history. Outrunning three Lewis-Palmer Rangers.

Here are a few things that have made this year unique: The U.S. invades Grenada; Everybody wants a Cabbage Patch Kid; “The Day After ; Russia shoots down a Korean jetliner; and remember in December and January when it got up to 20 degrees once and everybody thought it was a heat wave? And speaking of being hot. “Where’s the Beef?”; Flashdance; Michael Jackson; MTV; the A-Team; breakdancing and walkman radios were just that. Mike Thompson and Dylan Roberts watch In disbelief as Julie Kerr paints Jennifer Ritter's face for art club. Angle Potts, Colleen Palmer, Barbie Block and Louis Brown stuff themselves with burrltos as Mr. Grlbben gazes In amazement.

The class of 19_____, what ever the year, means something different to a freshman than It does to a senior four years later. Must be some reason for that. Maybe It’s the changes that happen here. Maybe something more than studies and books and knowledge happen here. Maybe we grow in ways that aren’t measured In Inches or waist sizes or weight. Maybe. Whatever it is, we surely share some special times with some special people. And those special people are here. In classes. Senior Aetion A senior is .. . Webster defines a senior as a student in the year preceding graduation. Our definition, however, is a little different, so here goes. A senior is the person who goes around thinking he is number one and picking on the underclassmen for the first two months of school. A senior is one who practically lives in the counselor’s office and stays up till all hours filling out applications of one kind or another. To a senior spring break lasts from the end of March until graduation, a feeling known as senioritis. During this time a senior can be found catching some rays during free hours and thinking about how many days they have until they get out of this “institution” and into an early summer vacation. Seniors are the ones who spend an hour trying to figure out one formula. No, not a math formula, but one like 9N + W + (R B) G- 4= E. If you don’t remember, it’s the formula for the golden egg. Seniors are the ones who crawl under the tables and oink like pigs when pointed at, at the banquet. A senior counts the days until graduation: then, as the big day draws near, they look back on the memories and wish it didn’t have to end so soon. 33 The senior class of '84 takes advantage of a warm winter day for a class picture.

Well, Don Bost and Eric Lamp spent four lunch hours selling five cent links for the spirit chains, Carla Smith set up dress-up days and noontime activities and Carolyn Mehring, majorette, led the band down the parade route. Seniors also won several of the noontime activities while bringing in third place finishers in both the float competition and the spirit chains. Friday night’s football game also saw a lot of action from seniors. Durk Himes recovered a fumble and Bobby Toler intercepted a pass setting up two of six touch- downs. Kirk Sallaway and Jim Adamson made touch- downs of 41 and one yards. Jim also made 3 P.A.T. kicks and a pass for a two point conversion. Coach Cogan also noted Kevin Kulick and Dylan Roberts for their defen- sive efforts. J5 Senior Action Fun Times In spite of rigorous studying, cap and gown measurements and ordering senior announcements, we still find time in our schedules for fun. Whether it’s making a fool out of ourselves in front of the entire student body or catching the latest movie with a group of friends, we all have a favorite pastime that we can look forward to. These activities help all of us go from Monday through Friday without breaking under the pressur eof a busy school week. Monica Cornell gets pushed into position for her mug shot.

Lucy Seniors C-E Senior Aetion In the varied lives of seniors at Florence High School, there are some classes we all have to take and pass before we are allowed freedom by that thing called graduation. Our teachers try to teach us about life after high school. If you haven’t guessed by now these classes are government and senior seminar. There are, however, other classes which, depending on your course of study and your future plans, only seniors may take. They are English IV, taught by Miss Fedde and Mrs. Spahn, and advanced math and computers II, under Mr. Watson. Mr. Smith prepares himself for another rigoruos government lecture. Shelly Dye.

It was a beautiful day though, and a properly nice one to end the years of F.H.S. for these stu- dents. They brought so much to us during the last years. If their future is as happy and rewarding as their time spent here, they should have some great days ahead. We’ll hear about these people, and we’ll miss them. “Those were the days .

Senior Action Everyday Life as a Senior Everyday life as a senior is a blend of work and play. It consists of trying to wake up early enough in the morning to make to your first class; whether it’s at 7:30 or at 9:30; driving around the school at lunch and trying to find a parking space before the bell rings and another afternoon of classes begins, and finally sports and homework. In between all of this, we try to get enough sleep, study for government comps and find time to socialize. With this accomplished a senior’s everyday life changes. The set routine that we once had is suddenly gone or changed. For some of us our routine becomes sleeping late and then bumming around when we finally do wake up. For others it becomes full-time work and for still others it’s a week to party before graduation. Lennox. Bill Magill. Wanda Lindsey. Jennifer Marquez. John Little. Lori Miller. Wade Livengood.

Months of hard work and planning paid off in a well-attended and much enjoyed evening hosted by the DJs from Colorado Sound and Light. Royalty presiding over the evening were Queen Juanita Marques and King Bobby Toler, with Princess Kyle McCorkle and Prince Butch Faoro. The theme of this romantic evening was “Tonight We Celebrate Our Love”, and the room decorations, the music and the mood all made for a time to remember. The banquet before the Prom started the evening on an enjoyable note, with Freshmen serving dressed as butlers and maids. Many faculty members attended also, and all enjoyed the evening, and commented favorable on the quality and success of the evening. The 1984 Prom was definitely a night to celebrate, and remember.

The Yearbook staff wondered what teacher would say about the junior class, so we took time out to ask teachers in classes like U. S. History and English III. Their response was fhat they see the juniors as being really out- spoken. Another teacher replied that juniors are hard workers and they also get involved in a lot of school activities.

Some of us think we’re “Intelligent”, “Scholastically inclined”, and “Ready to face the world with a smile”. Others think we’re “Cool” or “Bad”. Our class is full of different views and thoughts of what we think of ourselves as the Junior Class. Last year we showed our class pride by placing second in the traditional Homecoming Week Float Contest. Several students helped with selling the Junior Concessions to make money for Prom. Our Junior Class was very active in the sports and the spectating scene. We had six cheer and pom girls in our Junior Class that participated in cheering on our school athletes. The people that helped our class to organize events such as dances and homecoming were class officers: Cindy Hutchinson, Cindy Jones. Monica Carochi, Elena Ayala, Sheri Cook, and Kyle McCorkle.

Something Special: The Yearbook staff thinks the junior class was an outstanding one and among them we found this special someone who really “stood out in the crowd”. Jackie Carlson Is 16 and enjoys singing, dancing and writing stories and poems. She sings and dances in musicals in Pueblo and Canon City. In her sparetime she writes stories and poems. Her stories are everything from horrors to sorrowful to joyful. Her poems are mostly about young and old people who are going through that one special phase of love. Right now she is doing and teaching choreography. In church she was assistant basketball coach and editor of the church newspaper. Here’s a little bit more from Jackie: “Records started by singing. To sing along with Olivia-Newton John or Barry Manilow, and try to hold a note for as long as they could, or to try to get as high as she could or as low as he could ... all of this began my desire to sing! I get the greatest feeling from singingl To reach out and give the words of a song life to those listening; It’s a beautiful experience) 63 What’s A Sophomore Jon James. Stephanie King.

According to the dictionary, a sophomore is “a student in his second year at secondary school.” This is true, but a sophomore at FHS is much more than that. So, here’s our definition: A sophomore is the only one who feels sorry for the freshmen, but puts them down anyway. They’re always helping out where they’re needed, making a place for themselves. They never cease to amaze with their spirit and willingness to work to make FHS a better place. So, how ’bout it? Have you hugged a sophomore today? Adamic. Steve Adamson. Rhonda Allen. Gary Amaya.

What does a yellow sign mean? Questions like these are on the only test a sophomore really wants to take, the driver’s permit test. The prospect of getting a drivers license can really change a person. A kid who couldn’t take 15 minutes to study for a history test is suddenly capable of studying for hours just to be free on Saturday nights. After getting your permit it is only three short months until you get your license. While the license is still new in your hands, you wonder how you’re going to talk Mom and Dad into giving you the car; but as soon as you get home. Mom sends you to the store for groceries. The glamour of having your license is gone; but who cares? You’ll still be able to brag to your friends tomorrow. Gina Pachelli. Stephanie King.

They come in a variety of styles from the Balfour company. Each is distinctly different and unique, made especially to your order. In November, class ring talk begins. Questions like: “Gold or silver? How much should I pay? What kind of stone?”, are heard as one walks through the halls. Whatever you decide, your class ring is important because it will hold the memories of your great times here at F.H.S. Jon James shows his enthusiasm for his new class ring as Steve Adamic looks on.

Some favorite sophomore electives are: biology, typing, foreign language. chemistry and even yearbook! As a sophomore, you finally get a locker in the main building, just like a real person!

After all, what more could a kid want? 1 71 Sophomore Spirit Everyone at FHS showed a lot of spirit in the 1983-84 school year, but the sophomore class has shown us the true meaning of the word spirit. They proved this by winning the spirit chain competition with 811 links, outdistancing the juniors by 127. John Quintana made a big effort in raising money for the links, just ask the freshman, junior and senior classes. They also won the float competition with a float titled “Nip ’em in the Bud.” The float committee was: Elaine Lindsey, Stephanie King, Paul Mata, Mike DeWall.

All year long they joined in with enthusiasm and made their presence felt. Though everyone feels like it is necessary to run freshmen down, this group has given us something to look up to. After all, we all were freshmen once, whether we want to admit it or not. Shantell Rodgers - Frosh homecoming attendant. After receiving a Blue Steel version of “Happy Birthday .

Every year the Florence High Student body enjoys the great sound of Blue Steel. This years Freshmen are no exception. It took no time at all for the Freshmen to get into the beat of things, pretty soon they were Rock’n and Roll’n with all the rest of the high school. They showed the great attitude and spirit that comes from the FHS student body, and they will be here for three more years to carry that tradition of great spirit and attitude on, and show it to the other new-comers at FHS. It will then be a chain that will never be broken, a chain of spirit and pride. Filow. Theresa Gallardo. James Garrett. Becky Golden. Adam Green. Tommy Haddock. Robert Hamlin. Nancy Hammel.

What about initiation? But what is so different about the class of 1987? Well, talent is one thing that everyone looks for in a class. Where is the talent? To get an idea, we sent out a survey to the Freshmen. A lot of people commented on the great personalities of people like Sabrina Leonard; Dawn Mulso, Shantell Rodgers, Theresa Filos. Chris Ayala, and Gary Johnson. Most were recognized because of athletic abilities, good humor, and kindness towards others. 81 Freshmen slave Sabrina Leonard prowls to the Stray Cats during slave day. Veatch. Clint Villanueva.

If you ask any student to name one of the reasons for enjoying High School so much, they’ll be sure to talk about the exciting events that happen all the time at FHS. This year’s Freshmen are no exception. You can always count on them to get involved in the High School activities. The great spirit of the student body is something else they take a great part in. And why not? There are a lot of activities to do at FHS, such as the Chess club. Art club and Foreign Language club. Another, of course, is the great husky spirit. This year’s Freshmen have had no problem keeping up. That is just one more reason why their class has many more good times to come.

Some students may dislike certain teachers for various reasons, such as, too much homework or getting yelled at in class. Students don’t realize what teachers have to go through. They have to get up every morning before sunrise; then they have to come early for a meeting or just to get caught up in some homework of their own. Then school starts for a long day. Sometimes teachers have to tolerate mean or sarcastic looks all day long; then they go home and have to grade homework, half of which they can’t read. But just think, if it wasn’t for teachers we would look like something out of the 4th dimension because we wouldn’t be able to read this right now eigher. But one thing that we should consider, we have got the craziest bunch of teachers at Florence High. Thanks teachers!! Barber. Bob Becco. Victor Boyd. Roxie Brown. Mildred Brunetto.

Looking back, it’s still hard to believe the accomplishments: State Championship in football, 2nd place In State in boy’s all. League champs in wrestling and baseball. Boys and girls Cross Country took second in the League, girl’s track took 3rd and qualified seven for State, and boy’s track, in a rebuilding year, took 4th in the PPL and qualified four for the State meet. An average school might achieve a record like that over three or four years, but this year at Florence High was truly a year of the Champions. Freshmen Have Successful Season. The 1983 Freshmen Volleyball team proved them- selves to competitors with spirit and teamplay. Al- though the girls got off to a slow start, the pace picked up momentum as fundamentals and skills began to sharpen. The Freshmen netters turned mistakes into advantages and strengthed their style with hustle, determination and solid team- work. The Freshmen finished their season with an overall performance of seven wins and five losses. They also took third place at the freshmen tournament in Pueblo. Coach VanOosten comments on Patty Roc- chio, Lou Moschetti, Shantell Rodgers, and Terry Vavra as the main power players on the team. This years team proved they got the skills, heart and desire it takes to make their competitors be wary in years to come.

Coach Ruby Gordon comments on the fine talent that will be moving up to the Varsity squad next year, and that lack of team play was the main reason the team did not have a very well season.

The season ended on a down note with a heartbreaking 46-39 loss to the Manitou Mustangs in the league tournament semi-finals. It was the first time in two years that the girls did not advance to the state tournament. In the first round of the league tournament, the Husky Girls beat Fountain Valley by a score of 80-27. One of the girls’ most memorable wins was when they defeated defending State A Champion Fowler by a score of 57-53. It was Fowler’s first loss in 46 games.

The team “peaked” at the right time this spring, with Julie Kerr taking the District Championship in the 110 meter low hurdles. Shelly Sears taking the high jump and Ruth Boody winning the 200 meter dash. Also qualifying for State at the District meet were Lydia Garcia, Elaine Hatfield, Janel Hutchinson and Michelle Whisler. “The girls had a near-perfect season,” said Coach John Rhodes. “The team peaked at the right time (at the district meet), and also showed much more depth in the field events than in previous years. The girls tried very hard and it paid off at the District meet and at State.” It also paid off in the record book, with new records in the high jump - Shelly Sears; the 3200 meter run • Janel Hutchinson; the 800 meter relay - Elaine Hatfield, Michelle Whisler, Ruth Boody and Lydia Garcia; the 400 meter relay - Elaine Hatfield, Amber Lauderdale, Ruth Boody and Michelle Whisler.

With more depth, the Huskies showed better team and individual results at each meet. Coached by Bill Meigs, who took over this year for John Merriam, the Huskies finished 2nd place at Rocky Ford, and 4th place at the District meet. Two of the relay teams placed 4th at the District meet, with two field event people qualifying for the state meet. For the individual runners on the team, Lawrence Martinez finished a strong third to qualify in the 800 meters, and John Marques came across the finish line first to be the Pikes Peak League, 330 low hurdles. District Champion. Placing at the State meet were Randy Toler, with a fifth place in the Pole vault, and John Marquez, who once again broke the tape for an outstanding first place, becoming the Colorado AA State Champion in the 330 low hurdles.

Baseball Players Wrap Up Another PPL Title For three years in a row the Florence High School Baseball team has taken the Pikes Peak League Championship. This year the team was led by the strong hitting of Joey DeSalvo and Albert Bufmack, and pitching of John Medrick and Albert Bufmack until put out later in the season with an arm injury. The Huskies claimed the final championship for the boys sports program that swept the Pikes Peak League. The Huskies gained the title with a league record of 12-1 and an overall record of 12-2 with the only 2 losses being to Monte Vista with a score of 14-12 and Saint Marys with a score of 14-3. The Huskies season ended sadly on May 12 with a loss to the Ft. Lupton Blue Demons in the first round of the District Playoffs. With 10 errors, it is obvious that the Huskies did not play up to their best potential. The Huskies will have eight out of nine returning starters next year to fuel what will most likely be another winning season. Five of those eight returning starters were named to the Pikes Peak all league team, with one on the second team. Those named are Albert Bufmack, first base; Paul Mata, second base; John Medrick. pitcher; Jon Dickey, short stop; Joey DeSalvo, center field; and Brien Omen, 2nd team catcher. Brian Olmen.

More than a group of friends getting together to talk things over. More than what most of us think. Most of us don’t know. The people who are in clubs believe the experience is really special. They talk of meeting new people and learning new things, of going places and experiencing exciting events. Sounds boring, right? They don’t think so. They seem to think the rest of us are missing something, and that if we knew what we were missing, we might be in a ... club. F.B.L.A. F.L.C. F.C.A. Top photo- F.B.L.A.

Without them this book would have cost at least five dollars more. But they help F.H.S. in more ways than this book. It’s these same businesses who support our school so often, whether donating goods, helping buy things for teams or clubs, etc. We owe them much for their support. It might be that we could show them our thanks and our support in return. Dorchester Coal and Mining Company We wish the Seniors of ’84 Good Luck!

We’ve managed to survive another year of publications class. As we type the last pages of copy and mail the last photos, we the editors want to take a minute to say thanks. Thanks to the advertisers who helped pay for the book, and to the administration for all their support and understanding. Thanks to all the teachers who were there whenever we needed them, which was so often. So many people have done so much to make this book a reality that it’s impossible to express our appreciation on just one page. But there are a few people who deserve a very special thanks: Advisor Ken Hazelip, thanks for putting up with us all year; Josten’s representative Wayne Cormaney, without him, there would be no Husky yearbook; photographer Brian Carlson, he’s the best we’ve ever had; the entire HUSKY staff, everyone has dedicated so much time to this book. Finally, you. Without you there would be no reason to create the HUSKY. You are what the book is all about. We hope you enjoy having this book as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together.

In so many ways it is a reflection of the year we shared and a mirror of our feelings we knew during this time we spent together. We can’t capture all the things that happened, but maybe we can catch enough to help us remember, in the years to come, the Joys and triumphs, the pain and despair, the fun and the excitement of our life at F.H.S. this year. It was a good year, and looking back it may be Just about the best a school can enjoy- in terms of success in athletics. But we all have the chance to be Champions, in all that we do. If we don’t believe that, then all the plaques and trophies were for nothing. The games and teams will change, but the way we feel about ourselves, and the way we can hope for a bright and promising tomorrow, those are ours to keep. All of us together were what we have called this book. Champions. The Husky mascot is shocked at the performance of the Boogaloo Brothers.

So much has happened since then that it seems impossible it could all fit into such a short span as one year. Remember when the freshmen were running around not knowing what to do.

We will always have these things to remember but we must now turn our backs on them and prepare to start a new page in our lives. For some this means college, for others it means a job but for most of us it means summer vacation and then another year here at F.H.S.

Graduation- May 20, 1984, 1:30 PM Although we complain about homework and teachers, we wouldn't trade our days here for anything. We may not win every game and our school may not be perfect but we’ll never forget the times we’ve had here. So many of our memories are centered around this school and its people. ’84 was a memorable year. Autographs 142 Husky Dedication The 1984 HUSKY is dedicated to Mr. Tom Gribben, our Vice-Principal and Athletic Director. Next year Mr. Gribben will be assigned to the Principal’s posi- tion at the Penrose school, and Florence High will be left without his leadership and ability. He will be greatly missed, for his contributions to us could never be measured or replaced. His Job as Vice-Principal, that of dealing with prob- lems at their worst, was one not to be envied, yet he offered his guidance with a firm and fair hand that reflected his commitment to students and their education. As Athletic Director, his perfor- mance in that position over the past six years has been without equal. When he took over the posi- tion. athletics at Florence High had been suffering through bad times. But recently, under his leader- ship, success, championships, and the recognition brought with winning, have come home to Florence High again. We truly owe very much to this very special friend of ours, a debt that can never be repaid. We hope that the future will bring the best to Mr. Gribben; a man who has worked as hard as he has for us de- serves no less. Autographs
