Literature, Communica New faces were plentiful among the English faculty, in- cluding Mr. Steve Congdon who brought his expertise in hang- gliding with him from San Fran- cisco via Utah. Miss Vicki Laid- ley had the opportunity to con- sume some of her students' homework, as her duties includ- ed a partial day in home eco- nomics. Also sharing her re- sponsibilities with another de- partment, this time French, was first-year teacher, Miss Karen Freld. Miss Fried’s youthful ap- pearance caused her to be mis- taken for an FMHS student at times. Mr. Hutmacher drove here from the East Slope, but his avocation was really in run- ning places. Few residents of Fruita kept him company as he chalked up miles before 5 a.m. daily. Mrs. Kathy Jensen used funny pens, and not just for writing huh? Besides, who could ever keep up with her in the halls. Mrs. Nancy Loucks devoted many hours coaching aspiring young actors along with her classrooms work in the sopho- more Oral Communications classes. 12 English Department

Veterans Boost Music, Along with being an individual development instructor and be- ing an all around great guy, Mr. Don Ligrani had another super season. His ability to coach the fantastic football team put them in the state playoffs this year. Mr. Bob Cates was back again all fired up and ready for another season of basketball. Mr. Cates was also the Activities Director and Coordinator again this year. Along with these duties, he also was a P.E. teacher and a fine baseball coach. Get to wark! That would have been something heard from Mrs. Shepherds classes if they were just sitting around doing noth- ing. Mrs. Shepherd was another familiar face in the P.E. depart- ment. She taught gymnastics and some of the swimming classes. Mr. Jack Pollock was most like- ly seen helping a student learn to swim. He taught several of the swimming classes and also was coach of the golf team. With his fine ability and leadership, Mr. Pollock boosted the team to a fourth place finish at the State Tourney. 14 Music. Physical Education
