Overcast skies, rain, and wind presented no ob- stacle to seniors who piled into buses for the tra- ditional Sneak Day outing at Glcnwood Springs. Originally scheduled for the first week in May, Sneak Day finally arrived May 16 after several attempts to find the right day. Seniors Ignored Wintry Weather On Sneak Day Jared Thompson and Bob Garlitz, top, left, dominated the pool momentarily; then Ter- ry McLaughlin and Joe Al Carbajal, center, top, splashed away. That's Naomi Oliver on the slide; Mike Cole and Jerry Cox areal far left; Anne Mosher, Signa Larralde, Judy Smith, and Naomi. 16

Dapper Roy Bailey, coaxed into a mock bat- tle with snowballing dead-eyes Donna Barbee and Juliannc Moore, finished last when the girls decided to put some spice in the ice. Roy excelled on the hardwood court and at playing ‘King of the Mountain’ with other leltermen for the stone thrones along the ramps. Senior Joe Al Carbajal and junior Joann Jac- quez dipped into the romance of February to splash a dazzling display of red and white hearts across the bulletin board in room 103. Within a week’s time, the board was crowded with chalked initials. A wistful Santa. Mr. Charles Everett, art- fully sagging with pillow packing, made the holiday season memorable with his gracious good humor. Voicing everyone's desire for snow, he wore a dismayed face when the ear- ly days of December remained, of all things, warm, sunny and dry! 15

iS lowly spring days of 1968 drifted by through prom night into the last, golden hours gradu- ation. Juniors toiled until just minutes before upperclassmen of both classes meandered back to the school, their elegantly dressed dates elated with dreams of dancing through the midnight hours toward two. Under a maze of decorations focused upon the senior motto: “Reach the Impossible Star,” juniors saluted graduates with a formal gala following a feast of culinary de- lights. Beaming through it all was Trudy Clark, top, left, an exquisitely coiffured graduate-to- be. Three senior officers. Naomi Oliver. Ken Miller and Clarence Ross, top, right, occupied the head table at the banquet; Eddie White sat down the row a few plates. Finally, it was time to graduate. Chuck Rader, center, left, was ready; the Mixed Choir performed, as did Carol Fry and the band, above. Donna Raff and Eleanor Rodrequcz were among the usherettes; Paul Smith, with Patti Combs, was determined to show up for the ceremonies and a diploma. Linda Guccini and Juliannc Moore were ecstatic. 17
