Six of the 17 swimmers have qualified for the state meet in at least two events apiece. 62 63 64 m 65 UASKezUACC GETTING back on the winning track is the goal of the basketball team. With returning letterman D. J. Poyfair, Joe Peterson, Scott Feavel, Mike Bowen, Ron Vessa, and Jim Gibson, the Wildcats did just that. With early loses to Niwot and Wheatridge, the team seemed destined to follow in the footsteps of other mediocre West teams. However, the Cats came back to be 2-2 before the Christmas vacation. After the break the Cats came back to take a decisive victory over cross town rival Arvada. After this big win, the Cats were back on the winning track for the remainder of the year.

MISSING FROM PICTURE- Jill Armour, Lynn Krogh, Tami Myers WE feel that weight training at Arvada West develops the more proficient athlete and improves the level of ath- letic performance in all sports. But most important we feel it gives prospective athletes an opportunity, through hard work, sacrifice and dedication to improve them- selves to the point where they can compete with and in some cases out do the more gifted athlete who is willing to depend on his ability alone. Other objectives of the Arvada West weight training pro- gram as it related to athletics include: 1. To develop strength and muscular endurance for athletes-no athlete is ever strong enough. 2. To develop speed-strength is essential to speed. 3. To develop explosive power. A. To help develop self confidence-the key to courage. 5. To help prevent and rehabilitate injuries-strength decreased the possibility of injury and reinjury to athletes. Another phase of the Arvada West weight program re- volves around its value to intramurals. Of the 80-100 boys who take part in our after school program in the winter approximately half are athletes who do not partic- ipate in a winter sport. The other half are nonathletes who have developed an interest in weight lifting through exposure during physical education classes. Many of these boys have had little or no success in athletics and this program helps them to fill a void. From this intramural group a team is chosen to repre- sent Arvada West in a Power Lifting Meet. This meet usually involves a number of Denver area schools who run a similar type of intramural program or weight training in preparation for football. From a coaching and physical educators stand point we feel that the high- light of this meet is not the winning performance for Arvada West but the fact that a number of boys are able to compete who normally would have left high school without ever having had this experience. 74 TOP L-R Coach Brian McGregor, Murray Griner, Ryan Clark, Jeff Madsen, Tim Buchanan, John Soules.

Sparked by individual players, the team sticks together when the going gets rough. Un- like other years when the Cats were known for their dominating power at the plate, this team is known for their hustle and team unity. Under the coaching of LaGrone and Donaldson, the Cats are the surprise team of the Jeffco league, a surprise to everyone but the Wi Idcats. « 76 77 78 79 overtake Munites, preparing for State PROMISING another excellent year, espe- cially for sprinting and long distance run- ning, the Arvada West track team will be trying for a state championship. Leading the Field will be Tim Roberts, returning state champion in both the high and low hurdles, and Jon Sinclair, returning state champion in the mile run. Also returning are Rod Steele, Ron Vessa, and John Hunsaker. 80 . .wwmk flHMH . i« % 81 82 ' y .

Wildcat athletics are backed by the most enthusiastic spirited groups in the state. These groups are Cheerleaders, Pom-Pons, Mat Maids and Pep Club. 89 JMZRAMUKMS Basketball: BECAUSE of the lack of facilities, it was nec- essary to schedule the basketball program after the winter sports had been concluded. Each team entered will play all other teams and the team with the best record will be the champions. Bowling: The bowling program will be held later in the spring. The teams will be divided into two divisions and the winners of each division will have a roll-off for the championship. Weight lifting: The weight lifting program is conducted year- round and is concluded by the hosting of an invitational tournament. It is anticipated that additional activities will be held this summer. 90 ZOP zew PSKCSNZ KATHRYN Ayres, Julie Juhon, and Jacquesh Richard KATHERINE Powell, Dionne Strother, and Jocelyn LORIE Stover, Kimberly Barnett, and Charlotte Hershberge Johnson Jacqueline Shain, Thomas Korbitz, and Paula Hauschild KATHARINE Mehlbach, Michael Beaver, and Donna Bums MW 1 fists?!

Among the many courses offered to students, were State and local Government. Taught by Jim Pierson it sought to help students under- stand the constitutional government. Betty Hosman taught a course to develop cleri- cal skills. Caral Foster directed a course for sophomores who did not receive credit for BCI. Cruz Valenzuela guided a trip to New Mexico for students who wanted to learn more about Spanish culture.

I came here by Youth for Understanding. I love Colorado and the pretty Rocky Mountains. I'm living in Golden with a family named Sena. They are a very nice people, like I think all the American people are. I love USA and I'm very happy with the American people that help me in the many things I couldn't do by myself. Being an exchange student is a pretty thing because you learn about other customs and other people and other idiom. My school here and my teachers are very nice people and I give thanks to Mr. Ponis for all he does to help me and also Mr. Hart. I can talk all the time of the good things and experiences I have here and all I can say is thank you. I wish other students can have the good luck I have to come to this pretty place, with all these wonderful I people. See you later alligator and be a good boys. Ad VIVA AMERICA! foreign Exchange ffudy Krudner from Paraguay, South America PEOPLE in South America are colder and less open in their emotions commented Judith Brudner, and exchange student from South Amer- ica, They are friendly, but there is something missing. The climate in Paraguay is warm all year long. The school system differs in that there are no choice of subjects, and the students stay in one room all day with the teachers making the room changes. Judith spends her free time reading novels. She also enjoys music, especially John Denver and ot other popular music which is the same in Paraguay as here. She dislikes loud powerful Rock. Students Sleazar Coiero from Bolivia, South America I'M from LaPaz, Bolivia. I'm sponsored by Rotary Exchange Program and Til be here during one whole year. I arrived in August 1974 and I will prob- ably leave in July of 75. I think this experience is going to be one of my main experiences in my life and some are so good. I participated in the soccer team and I think we had a very well organized team. Their is a big dif- ference between my country and the USA, mainly in the way of living for example, the weather is very different, the architecture and so many things. LaPaz is the capital of Bolivia and is over 12,00 ft. We have mountains over 23,00 ft. and if you go two hours east you find yourself in the jungle. The people here are very friendly and sometimes I think I'm at home. Eleazar Colero Heather Davidson from Khodesia, Africa IT' LL probably surprise you to hear that even though I'm from Rhodesia in Africa, I am not a cannibal and I don't wear a grass skirt or carry a war shield! Rhodesia is in Southern Africa and al- though parts of itare wi Id and rugged, our cities are every bit as Westernized as American ones (even if on a smaller scale). As yet, I've only experienced two weeks of life in Colorado but already I've had the time of my life and I know this year is going to be unforgetable. I'm really looking forward to supporting the Wild- cats and meeting more and more people-Americans strike me as some of the most friendly and helpful people around! Heather Davison (Rotary Exchange Student from Rhodesia Africa). MOMSCOMWQ carnival HOMECOMING carnival, sponsored by Senior Seminar, was a new activity held prior to Homecoming. Among the festivities was the crowning of Noel Zirbel and Phil Wathier as queen and king. 172 173 CHRISTMAS found students preparing for a week vacation, or already on vacation. The school was decorated, as always, with a tree in the student center, and a traditional Christmas dance was held. r that the j i it morr 5 Mens Ensemble Male Chorus PAKA® es PRACTICING two hours every morning plus Sat- urdays sharpens the AW Marching Band for First Division Ratings. These ratings include a 2nd at Littleton, and a 1st at Broomfield. At Boulder Band Day, the AW band was one of four out 25 schools to receive all ones. Other parades in- cluded Harvest Festival and St. Patrick's. 181 MAey’s Zkanksgmng Day Parade TO 150 students Thanksgiving meant more than just turkey and pumpkin pie. To them it meant their first plane ride, seeing the White House, Statue of Liberty, Capitol, Empire State Building, United Nations, Chinatown and the Smithsonian Institute. It also meant getting up by four for a five a.m. dress rehearsal so that millions of people would enjoy their long awaited performance on television and before two miles of a crowded and appreciative audience. 182 A dells house A DOLLS House is a classic feminist play about a husband who treats his wife like a plaything to be wound up on de- mand. The wife so loved her husband that she committed forgery for him, but whose self respect now demands that she close the door on this pompous man and on her marriage to him. 184 CASZ Nora: Becky Ferguson Lawyer: Jim Carroll Husband: Bill Croy Supporting roles were played by: Mark Agnes Claudia Taft Other roles were played by: Pam Gates Jackie Hudson 185 ANOTHER comedy-hit production was scored with the presentation of the fall play, Here Lies Jeremy Troy. The performances of Mark Hotchkiss in the leading role of Jeremy Troy, a lawyer, without a law degree, and Kim Castle, as Kathy Ivory his wife, effectively complimented each o her. The plot thickened as Tina Wilsow (Kris Arnstron) the sexy model for artist Charlie Bickle (George Pacheco) came on the scene. Com- plicating matters even more was Mr. Iverson (Mark Agnus), Troy's boss, who arrives for dinner. Hilarious envoivements occur but eventually all misunderstandings are corrected. Directed by David J. Helm the performance was an excellent rendition of an outstanding play. 186 THE MUSIC MAN MAKING a dramatic debut as STARS in their first performance, Steve Taylor as Professor Hill, and Patti Gausemeier as Marion , cap- tured the audience with their acting and singing performance. Under the direction of George Dunkin and Monte Otto the MUSIC MAN was successfully produced and drew large crowds each of the four performances. . 189 Jt Ml Happened w nat s Happening to America' Value The Decline and Fall of a Vice President mm THE RESIGNATION Bow Jones 30 Industrials mwm '■ 's V; '4$Wc' a; ■ -1 ■ .

SZUDSJVt eoujvejc Student Council Concept 6 found student council alive, well and work- ing hard. ....... Left with a tradition of involvement, the members pulled together and planned under the council's first year of Concept 6. Each week members brainstormed for ideas that made students as well as faculty and administration pleased. Involvement was the mood found in Council. Concern for students, their complaints, rights and attitudes toward school. Student feelings run high at times, thinking that their ideas may not be fully known. But this year, amidst the grumbling, there seemed to be a general consensus that council was trying and doing a good job. Indeed in a year of apathy and a general feeling of discontent, student council gripped the situation and tried to better it for all students. Sponsors for student council are; Roger Stewart, Dave Wendelin, and Nancy Hardesty. 256 257 258 SOPMOMOKS representatives TAMMY BLATTER, Roberta Farmer, John Ballager, Tami Myers, Emily Capra, Melanie

Students and teachers are offered more flexibility in scheduling and vacation pat- terns. Extension of course offerings includes film study, a reading specialist com- bining reading with history, biology and English, and pilot courses in English. Journalism department purchased an electrostatic copier and an offset press which enables journalists to learn the complete publishing process. Senior seminar has been changed from an 18 week course to 9 weeks, which in- cludes five units: personal growth, adventure, creativity, vocation and individual projects. Flexibility of the six quarters allow students to graduate early, take additional availability of part time jobs and afford time for hobby interests. A large percent of students excelled during the off sessions in classes that ordinarily could not have been worked into their schedule. Students gained academically and socially from bonus learning sessions, and opportunities for re-inforcement or extension of learn- ing were obtained in skill labs. Curriculum was broadened by the addition of mini-courses which are offered for credit or non-credit. Mini-courses are bonus learning experiences taken on a short term basis during students vacation patterns. Mini course catalogs were available throughout the school year for students seeking information during their vacation patterns. School spirit along with participation and attendance is at an all time high, and the sophomore class is one of the best groups attending WEST in years. These accomplishments reflect good leadership in 1974-75. 287 EIGHT counselors provide an open door for the troublesome problems of 1974 students. Confused sophomores getting acquainted, muddled juniors looking for an easier class, and college bound sen- iors having money problems comprised only a few of the headaches the counselors had to contend with. wm m 91 Gerboth, Montgomery, Donna Barb Gensheer, SMOOTH managment of schools business and tran- scripts is part of the secretaries big job. Concept 6 has thrown an additional load on the secretaries, who must answer a multitude of phone calls and questions.

These teachers help students to understand the mean- ing, usage and history of the English language. Since English is the primary language spoken in our society these courses are important in order to under- stand vital issues. Literature classes are very appropriate to the levels of the individual class at Arvada West. Programs consist of emphasis on short stories, novel, drama and poetry; plus a still wider varity giving students an opportunity to select electives. As years progress students learn to express themselves and find the deeper meanings of classic and modern literature. Students learn to comprehend various speech ele- ments through out the school year. Years of high school include various studies of the English language. Curriculum consists of the basic vocabulary, grammar, literature and writing. Development of intellectual ability through literary background is achieved and further deepened through the years. Speech used in everyday language is understood as the pupils study words, phrases, clauses and sentence structure. Details affecting everyday life are further explored in the study of English. Many new ideas are researched in order to deepen understanding of people and the world they live in. 293 Schaaf, Stewart, Bill Roger Trueman, Wendelin, Virginia Dave Young, Zier, Tom Louis La Forte, Trieba HOW am I supposed to r class ages ago!

SOCIAL STUDIES courses offered this year were American and World History, within this area of study there were 12 courses offered. Great variety of studies are a collection of courses initiated by the efforts of interested students and teachers. The variety of activities included guest speakers-concerning the major and minor candidates, field trips-to the Oregon Trail, class demon- strations and team teaching. An overall understanding of historical facts and lore led students to a more broad comprehension of current events. Experience gained by the study of ancient and present-day happenings helped to make students more aware of the world around them.

SC?o c ' f semes... ‘Our Environment’ ’ MAKING students aware of their environment, their biological surroundings and the chemical and physical world in which they live is an objective of the Science Department. Teachers helped students work out physical problems, chemical evaluations and questions of motion. Students have an opportuntiy to select various science courses, physical science, biology, chemistry and phys- ics. As state law requires the study of at least two years, many drop the study. However those who do continue in this area indulge in the nitty-gritty of science. AU ZM Child, Courkamp, Craig, . Gene • ' ■■■ f- v Lee Tom DeWitt, Ekey, Gohn, Bob Glen John ested students.

Arts department is that if a student leaves high school without knowing a job or a trade they are very uneducated. The place to begin in Tech. Arts is with drafting, a planning and designing course. The Tech. Arts fair, held in the spring displays students work: metal works, wood carvings and machin- ery. Some of the work is sold, and other work is taken home for personal use.

Whether the glory of victory is long lived or non- existent, the pain and exhaustion of learning to execute a single play takes days. Football, basketball, baseball, volleyball ... all sports rely on the one reason for all goals ever reached team work. The act of learning to cooperate with teammates, back them 100 percent, inspire, congratulate and share moments of glory and pain. All these events must be learned and executed by each and every member of the team before the machine operates smoothly, without a flaw. Track, swimming, volleyball-are all team sports with individual events. These which are sometimes neglected, can re- flect possiblythe hardest examples of teamwork. The team as a whole functions correctly, but even before results every teammate must share the anguish or joy with another teammate. 309 THE Home Economics Department is a busy place The sewing classes have received two new re- frigerators, a micro-wave oven, and five new ovens.
