Wildcats December’s Wildcat coronets went to seniors Peggy Puls and Trent Spradling. A scholarship to CSC helped decide Peggy’s plans. An effervescent round of activities brought her early into the FHS spotlight; paramount was her two-year tour as cheerleader and finally the recognition which accompaincd her serv- ing as co-captain of the pepster corps. Peggy went to Girls’ State, later won the post of FTA historian. She attended Aspen Institute of the Humanities and cheering clinics at Rangcly and El Paso, Tex. She earned highest rating in speech mocts. Trent’s schol- arship to Mesa College also gave him direction fol- lowing graduation.

A veteran gridiron and mat competitor, he won All-conference football honors his final two seasons. He held an active mem- bership in French Club. January accolades heralded Tom Warren and Kathy Kochevar. She bounded through her junior year as cheerleader, but everything was second to science. A scholarship CSU crowned months of work with liq- uid crystals in preparation for the state Science Fair. Kathy kept tabs on National Honor Society finances as treasurer. Like Peggy Puls, Kathy attended peps- ter clinic at Rangely. and she also belonged to IRC. Everything, however, was a prescience of her ulti- mate decision to follow the lure of the lab. Confident, soft-spoken Tom Warren, Fruita's number one stu- dent leader, worked with untiring diligence to ramrod student government, and especially to support the overseas school project. Tom earned the coveted “F” as a varsity hoopster; he was a co-captain of the squad his senior year. In diamond action he played the hot-spot with the agility of one who owns a crys- tal ball. A Thespian, Tom also sang with Swing Choir and was treasurer of his sophomore class. Mesa College was his next stop. It was off to California for Signa Larralde and west- ward-ho! for Ken Wright, February’s duo of go-go- getters. both of whom won scholarships. Signa’s per- sonal magnetism, charm, her consideration for oth- ersemerged as something tangibly inspiring. She entered National Honor Society early, and later be- came secretary of FT A; she gave time to Pep Club, Drill Team, and many hours to volunteer hospital work as a Candy Striper. Signa received the Elks’ Most Valuable Student award, won honorable men- tion in National Merit Scholarship competition. She was president of IRC her junior year, human interest editor of the Wildcat's Beat in ’68; Quill and Scroll welcomed her. too. Ken’s scholarship to Brigham Young University was the climax to a year of accom- plishments. He headed up Quill and Scroll with the same vitality he showed tramping streets as Wildcat business manager. Membership in National Honor Society, IRC, FTA, Science Club and attendance at Western Slope Student Council confab rounded out his give-and-take with the Blue and White. 26
