' M VOL 10 No. 2 Rocky Mountain High School, Fort Collins, CO 80526326 October 28, 1982 Ms. Uhls, Teacher ol the Year, nys she feels a sense of accomplishment when :he sees all the doctors, lawyers and engineers she has worked with In the past.1Staffpholo by Traces Loehnj Students, faculty vote Ms. Uhls 1982 'Teacher of the Year' By Sruarz Smub The Teacher of the Year for l982 is Ms Pam Uhls, social studies teacher at Rocky Mountain. Ms Uhls teaches the social studies part of Humanities, which is made up of the top seniors.Shesaid, Workingwirh :hese scholars is what keeps me in teaching l've been teaching Humanities for 10 years, and when I see all the doctors, lawyers, and engineers I have worked with, it gives me a sense af accomplishment Although she is now involved n teaching, Ms Uhls considered oining the diplomatic corps after she graduated from Colorado Southern College. lnstead she came to Fort Collins to attend CSU. Ms, Uhls then began teaching social studies at Poudre When Rocky Mountain opened, she saw a chance to teach Humanities. I was acquainted with Dr,Wells and Mr Oglesby, who co-teaches Humanities. Plus, Humanities is a more motivated class than those I was teaching then, she said Mr. Oglesby, who teaches the English part of Humanities, said, I feel that Ms Uhls has an excellent command of the material she teaches, and she is a very capable lecturer. Also, school is her family, so she has a personal commitment to teaching juhl Wojahn said, She is a really great teacher She has some lousy puns, but a good teacher. Outside of school, Ms Llhls is involved in the attorney generals campaign In her spare time. Ms. Uhls has tried selling real estate and stocks and bonds l was trying to sell stock to people with a little extra money, but they are hard to find nowadays, she said with a smile, Superstitious?.. by Becky Comm! Every night before johnny goes to sleep, he has to check under his bed. johnny has a fear of creatures lurking in the night. johnny turns out the light and hops into bed. Oh no! He forgot to close the closet door. Somehow in a pitch dark room, an open closet seems even darker. johnny jumps out of bed and turns the light back on and shuts the closet door. Now he can sleep without worrying about monsters. johnny's is a good example of how superstitions get started. When johnny walks down the street and sees a ladder leaning against a building, he walks around it because it's bad luck to walk under it. Why is it bad luck? ln ancient times, people believed a triangle was a symbol for life, When a ladder leans against a building it forms a triangle. lf anyone were to violate it, evil spirits would harm him. Another reason began in sorne Asian countries. As a punishment for severe crimes, people were hung from the sev enth rung of ladders leaning against trees. Because death was thought to be contageous, anyone who walked under a ladder might catch death from the spirit of the hanged criminal. 'i Musicians weigh offers by sim Wm.-f ll enough money becomes available to the RMHS Singers and the RMHS Winds, these groups might find themselves performing in China next spring Both groups have been invited to perform in the First Invitational Festival of Music held in Shanghai, China The Singers were one of three high school choirs in the country invited to perform The band was one of six high school concert bands selected, Because uf the large amounts of money needed to finance the trip, a meeting was held in early October to decide whether or not these groups would be able to accept the invitations The cost of the trip is 31,700 for each student The parents of the choir .ind band members had to make a final decision through a secret ballot vote We wanted the parents in on it tthe decisiunb because only they could make that kind of decision, Dr Herb Goodrich, choir director, said Because ofthe size ofthe commitment. we felt we had to have a 90 percent approval in order to make the trips feasible The parents of the Singers voted 90 percent in favor ofthe trip It was the necessary number of votes, Dr Goodrich said. In that same meeting, only 75 percent of the parents of the band students voted tn favor of the trip At that time it was decided that the band would decline the invitation But, because 1 group of patents didnt know whether or not the vote taken was based on a desire to stay home ot based on financial need, another organizational meeting was set tu reexamine the possibility of the trtp Wave got a group of enthusiastic parents that gust won't take no for an answer ' said Dr k Goodrich The group, made up of six couples, put together a questionnaire and sent it home to the band tn order to get some absolute figures Through the survey, the parents found a strong desire to take the trip, but the money remained a problem So a meeting was held last Wednesday The band parents agreed to a plan that called for a S100 payment per student by Oct 51 Then an additional 30 days will be given to raise the rest of the money Dr Goodrich said that there was something very special about the parents of the band He said that the band parents felt that both groups should look at the fundraising as a joint venture since both groups received invitations But, one way or another, the choir was going to China The band agreed to raise money in the following manner' Rather than trying to raise the funds simultaneously, the band would start raising money, giving the first Sl0.000 to the choir Additional money beyond the 310,000 would go to the band. If the band tsn't able to raise the money needed to commit itself for the trip by Dec l. any other money raised for the band willbegtven to the choir, He said he has already received some individual donations for the choir. The Fort Collins Rotary club donated 3750, and S l,60O from another source was specifically pledged to one person who was a little on the short end to be able to go ' Dr Goodrich also said Woodward Governor and Martin Marietta in Utah have been considering some proposals Hopefully we will get some sort of assisrancef Dr Goodrich said The Chinese government is already subsidizing 31,000 per person making it feasible for us to go Parent committees have also been formed to seek funds One group is going tu large corporations, A second group is going to local businesses and organizations. And a third group will be working with the kids on fund-raising activities. This is a diplomatic level trip that the Chinese government is sponsoring, It's nothing lower than that, Dr Goodrich said The musical groups will play three concerts tt audiences of l6,000 to 32,000 people per concert We are going to a part of the world that is still uniquely eastern China is still very much its own country with 3,000 or 4,000 years ol historica perspective that hasn't changed Seeingit now may be one of the few times we'll be able to see it in it: authentic way And, l think that is neat.' Dr Goodrich said When is anyone going to get a chance to go tt China? Larry Culley, sentur, asked It will be . real educational experience l'll be excited for the trip when I'm on tht plane. Mary Weeks, senior band meber, said Then l'll know for sure we are going to China' 'I see lots of work going into the trip, but, l definitely think tr will be worth it, Dr Goodrich said Orchestra nixes Vienna bg Stew Warm-r With all of the excitement inthe RMHS music department about the China trip, one group of music students has reason to feel a little disappointed During an Oct 7 meeting, the symphony orchestra decided to decline an invitation to perform at the World Orchestra Festival held in Vienna, Austria The orchestra was one of two high schools from the United States invited to compete and perform in the festival According to Dr Herb Goodrich, the orchestra hoped to solicit funding from large corporations Unfortunately, no funding came forth for the Vienna trip Therefore, the trip would have cost Sl,70O per student The parents felt the money could be more widely used at this time by providing other things to the students, Dr Goodrich said Beware Halloween johnny probably figured he was not supposed to walk under ladders because paint might fall on him, He probably did not think about hanging men and evil spirits 'johnny, don't open that umbrella in the house! screamed johnny's mother Why not, Mom? johnny asked I don't know. just don't, replied his mother. According to the World Book Encyclopedia, in the Old World umbrellas were made large enough to cover entire families. lf an umbrella was opened in a house, things usually got broken or people got hurt, What about when a black cat crosses johnny's path? Something is the back of his mind is going to tell him that black cats bring bad luck. This is just another example of a superstition that still exists. lt starred in Medieval times when people believed in witches. Black cats were thought to be the compan- ions of witches, lt was also believed that the cats themselves would become witches after seven years of service. One could not be sure if a black cat was really a witch or not. johnny was just thinking the way his ancestors did. In a way,johnny is like the rest of us, We have superstitions that we still believe in without realizing why: ladders, umbrellas, black cats, and many more, Do you know why you knock on wood?
