Mr. Berger teaches commercial art, design, and pottery. Mr. Berger and his pottery stuents recently put on a Mug-A-Thon to raise money for the creative art scholorship given to the most creative, and talented art stu- dents who are going to college and majoring in art. Mr. Berger was busy setting up the Art Education T.S. BERCER JERRY HUBKA 14th. annual artists workshop, where artists from all over the state come and demonstrate here at school. Mr. Hubka is also busy developing two new art classes, sculpture, and paper making, and trying to get the Year- book Staff motivated to produce an- other great annual- no easy task! We teach with a philosophy of giv- ing the students an art experience. They want to encourage students to take more art classes. We want to give students an informative class that builds skills and self expression, says Mr. Hubka. Great Artists Mr. Berger, and students work hard to get the Mug-A-Thon ready. We see that the pressures of the day have taken their toll on Mr. Hubka.

Administration The Foundation The administration's main function is running the school, they coordinate all activities, from curriculum to sus- pensions. The Administration De- partment at Poudre has special mem- bers to make it stronger than many. The administrators are - Mr. Rice, Mr. Banister, Mr. Summey and Mrs. Lundt. Each of them have specific jobs that help make the school better as a whole. Mr. Rice, principal, is a very busy man. He deals with everything that goes on involving the school. Mr. Banister, involved with faculty, eval- uates new teachers, creates the master schedule, and deals with curriculum. Mr. Summey is involved with athlet- ics. Mrs. Lundt is greatly involved with students and extra curricular ac- tivities. All are involved with spon- soring after-school activities, and are willing to help any students with per- sonal problems. The secretaries, however, must not be forgotten. They are all intensely in- volved with the department, helping with everything they can. They keep it running on a smooth, even keel. he A major change from last year in ad- ministration is the attendance policy. It allows for six absences per semester, excused or unexcused, before action is taken against the student. This makes all of their jobs easier, for they no longer have to be the judge of wheth- er an absence is excused or unexcused. The philosophy that Mr. Banister uses in his job is, Do the best job you can IS es 5- ' I FIRST ROW: MR. RICHARD BANISTER, MS. JUDY BRUBAKER, MS. DEBBIE DEAKIN, MS. DIANE ENCEL, MS. SANDRA LUNDT, MR. TIM LUNDT, SECOND ROW: MR. EDGAR RICE, MS. CAROL SANDMAN, MR. WILLIAM SUMMEY. . . . You have to be fair - you cannot have favorites. Mr. Banister indeed uses his philosophy as exemplified in his work. Administrators are often thought of as people to be avoided, but this is not true of ours. They are caring people who can be trusted. Their personal- ities shine through in their work at Poudre. lt's the eighties now, Mr. Rice.

Mrs. Sharon Darland, directs the choir here at Poudre. She teaches five classes plus one after school jazz group. Mrs. Darland has been teach- ing for 13 years and really enjoys Poudre. She is enjoying her newest group, the Impressions. They're a mixed jazz group, and they are doing a good job. She is also excited about the lmpalaphonics this year, especial- ly with three All-State qualifiers: Tom Lawrie, Melanie Manning, and Merideth Prill - all earned high scores in competition. Mrs. Darland teaches her classes for improvement with the intent of ad- vancement within the choirs, and all through their school careers. All the groups are doing well, and l'm really enjoying the year. Mr. Larry Lashley is the orchestra di- rector here at PHS. He is now in his eighteenth year of teaching and is en- joying his time here. He is currently trying to schedule a chamber orches- tra for selected orchestra members. Mr. Lashley commented that This year's orchestra group is doing very well. They are mature individuals concerned with their music and their group effort. Within the music groups there are several contests, the major contest for orchestra is in the spring. Mr. Lashley finds that he teaches on many differ- ent levels of musical interest and tal- ent. What is his favorite part of teach- ing? The students from my classes who find real enjoyment, and satis- faction from what music offers them. I think that music offers so much to our society that it's a pleasure to see and become a part of people who want to be involved in it.
