Table Of Contents Introduction 2 Academics 34 Classes 82 Activities 188 Sports 240 Advertisements 290 The Year Of The Cat The 1980 year was one in which all students showed their loyalty and support as Wild- cats. The class activities and extra-curricular par- ticipation were strong and quite successful due to this A.W. spirit. Although unity at school was strong, indi- viduals still maintained different goals and interests outside of their school activities. All in all, this certainly was THE YEAR OF THE CAT. 2 Introduction Introduction 3 Course Selections Varied In addition to the academics like English, math and sci- ence, students at Arvade West were offered a variety of other interesting courses. Some of the diverse course offerings were computer pro- gramming, jewelry consumer auto and film study. Com- puter programming was designed for those students with career plans in computer science. The more artistic stu- dents could find an outlet in jewelry. Consumer auto was perfect for girls who wanted a basic knowledge of a car engine. Film study offered the creative student a chance to make his own film. Due to the broad selection of courses to choose from, students experienced no problem in finding classes to hold their interest. 4 Introduction Introduction 5 Students Find New Lunch Spots Lunch was everyones' favorite time of the day. This period was a relief from classes and study- ing. The lunch period was spent at many different places, ranging from those students who ate in the student center to those who would break away to McDonalds, Burger King, or Taco Time. Lunch was a time for studying, socializing, or just hanging out. 6 Introduction lntroduction 7 Does A West Have Spirit? You Bet The 1980-81 school year started off with a spirited rally. Each class showed more attendance and enthusi- asm than shown in other years. The athletes showed a lot of promise for the coming year. The Pom-pons, Cheerleaders and Pep Band helped all to keep a win- ning attitude. Everyone showed up for the games, whether to com- pete or watch and socialize. The varsity football team showed an excellent attitude, even though the team had a losing season this year. Football in the future looks bright as the sophomores begin to fill the varsity ranks. The spirit at Arvada West was one aspect of student life that everyone could contribute to. 8 Introduction Spirits Soar at Homecoming The week of October 20, 1980 was a very special week at Arvada West. Once again, the annual homecoming was held. The entire week was filled with spirit lifting activities. Tuesday was the first dress-up day- Nerd Day and everyone dressed ac- cordingly. Wednesday was Class Color Day . The sophomores dressed in red, the juniors in green and the seniors in white, usually in the form of togas. The afternoon activities included: tug-of-war and hall deco- ration competition. Everybody wore purple and white. Afternoon activities also included powder puff football and a football game with a pur- ple balloon send-off accompanied in the kick-off. Homecoming royalty was an- nounced and the seniors were awarded the distinction of being the winning class. 10 Introduction Introduction 11 Weekends were made for ■■ After five hard days of class work, the stu- dents of Arvada West deserved a break. Students entertained themselves in differ- ent fashions over the weekend. Activities ranged from parties to a nightly movie at the Westminister Theatres. Some students liked to just cruise around rather than participate in any planned activity. Many other students enjoyed going to school related activities, such as games and dances. Whatever they did, the students really enjoyed their weekends. 12 'lnt oduction A. W. Wheels Whether students came in style or just got where they were going, some automotive device was the key. Students relied on different types of transportation when coming to and going from school. Some rode buses, bicycles, mopeds, or motorcycles. Others were lucky enough to own their own cars or had a friend who allowed them to take up passenger space. There was a wide variety of cars rang- ing from the economical Datsun and Volkswagon to the sportier Camaro and Porsche. All of these cars together gave the appearance of a used car lot. Introduction 15 Students at Work Many of the Arvada West students worked part- time throughout the year. There were a wide variety of jobs ranging from fast food restaurants, such as McDonalds and Taco Time, to business offices, such as Fox and Associ- ates. Students devoted a great deal of their spare time to their jobs. Some students received on-the-job train- ing and credit from the school through various classes, such as DECA and FBLA. These different job opportunities helped students prepare for the future. 16 Introduction Introduction 17 Colorado’s Beauty Abounds The beauty of Colorado rests mainly in the Rocky Mountains. Colorado would not be what it is without its aspens in the fall , sparkling snowfalls in the winter, color- ful wildflowers in the spring and picturesque moun- tains in the summer. These changing seasons help to make our state known as Colorful Colorado . No matter what time of the year, the beauty of Colo- rado is enjoyed by all. Nature provides an endless list of activities, such as hiking, snow and water skiing, picnicking, and just enjoying the outdoors. Nature provides Colorado with beauty unsurpassed by any other areas. 18 Introduction Introduction 19 Hobbies Reflect Outside Interests Students usually found some spare time to enjoy their favorite hobbies. These hobbies, such as camping, horseback riding, and swimming, helped bring out the students interests and abilities. Some of the students liked going to the mountains, while others enjoyed staying around the city and relaxing. These hobbies gave students a chance to relax and escape from school and work. -.« I JSeSm - 20 Fashions Reflect Trends 22 Introduction As trends and fashions changed, the students at Arvada West kept pace with the times. The fashion scene ran from the casual look to the sporty look. The ever popular Levis and T-Shirts were still in favor, but they were rivaled in popularity by a dres- sier look. The dress became more visible with each passing season. The diversity in style gave each student the chance to be more of an individual. Students could dress according to the mood they were in each day. There were no longer “required modes of dress that each student had to meet to gain acceptance by his peers. The change of style was not only visible in girls fashions, but also in those of the boys. They put as much effort into their appearance as the girls did Where once the only acceptable attire was jeans, we soon saw more of the dress pants and long-sleeve shirt style.

Mr. Schneringer feels that the Modified C Calender will be successful, and he hopes that it will be an alternative calendar for the other traditional schools in the dis- trict. He also feels that the school spirit and student participation in activities and ath- letics should get a positive boost by the new calendar. All the students attending at the same time will provide a way of growing closer togeth- er to provide more school spirit.

Academics 35 Ms. Marcia Goldin, former teacher at various schools, has been assistant principal at Arvada West High School for two years.

This expansion has reached into the schools where the sciences can be gradually explained. Arvada West, too, has developed and approached sev- eral scientific fields, dividing each into successive sec- tions. Three areas which offered at AW are biology (the study of living organisms), chemistry (the sciences explaining the composition of matter), and physics (the look into the actions of objects), at least four quarters of any of these science courses are required for graduation. Many individuals pursue their inter- ests beyond the necessary requirements. Science 48 Academics Academics 49 The mathematics department offers a wide vari- ety of math classes to meet the needs of all stu- dents. These courses include: math competencies math level H, Algebra I and II, informal geome- try, plane geometry, trigonometry, math analy- sis, calculus, statistics, math of financial indus- try, and introduction to computer programming. The computer course has been expanded to a full year program. The calculus course taught at Ar- vada West is comparable to the first semester of college calculus. Instructors in the math department are: Lee Courkamp, Glenn Ekey, John Gohn, Dave Har- ris, Jolene Knapp, Ron Lemmon, Keith Messer, Doug Mitchell, Chuck Murphy, Al Wilderman, and Steve Wyckoff. 50 Academics An ever expanding science is available to every student at Arvada West; a psychology class. This course provides the student with insight into why people do what they do. With the help of this class, students are able to better under- stand themselves and those around them. Mr. Lewis the instructor does an excellent job making this course a truly rewarding and reveal- ing class for students to take. i I • f m ■ •• i Psychology The English department at Arvada West is the lar- gest department in the school. A good variety of classes are offered to make the completion of the English requirement an enjoyable experience. Classes offered are in the areas of composition, lit- erature, language and oral communication. Classes range from basics; basic composition, craft in litera- ture, and speech for everyday living to the more complex; composition for the college bound, major British writers and public communications. The de- partment also offers such diversified classes as film study, real and unreal and bible literature. Besides having excellent classes, the English depart- ment has an outstanding staff. This past year the department was happy to welcome back Carol Fos- ter. She was formerly an Arvada West teacher from 1968 - 1976. English 52 Academics The school paper, the Westwind, is pub- lished monthly. The paper is produced entirely at the school making it one of a few of its kind in the state. Students have the opportunity to write headlines, layout the paper and aid in the printing process. The conversion to the Modified C in February made the paper run more effi- ciently since students could have con- secutive periods in the class. The paper is in the form of a news maga- zine which deals with school activities, features, sports and community activi- ties. The paper relies heavily on advertis- ing for financial support. 54 Academics The 1980-81 Claw staff underwent many changes during the year. Under the direction of Linda Bellacome, the new sponsor, the yearbook changed from a spring book to a summer book to enable spring sports, prom and graduation to be in the book. This decision was made after polling the student body to get their opinions on the issue. Things went much more smoothly for the staff after February when the school went off of Concept 6. This move enabled the staff members to remain in the class throughout the year instead of being on some quarters and off others. Many new ideas were instituted in the book this year as the staff tried to revise the style the has followed for the past several years. Yearbook Academics 55 The Arvada West theatre takes pride in the fine productions it performs and the actors it molds. Under the direction of Judy Thoeming, Arvada West has several classes available to encourage the and stimulate students' talents. Theatre Arts is an introduction for individuals to develop acting and improvisational skills. Acting I is the continuation of Theatre Arts. In Children's Theatre, the students prepare a traveling children's theatre production and Technical Theatre prepares time for the evening performances. These classes all contribute to the development of students' abilities in drama. 56 Academics The Media Center, more commonly known as the li- brary is a place where students can go to study, relax or be entertained. There are two departments within the Media Center. Mr. Cundiff, head of visual aids, supplies and main- tains all of the AV equipment. Film projectors, video recorders and phonographs that are used in the var- ious classrooms all come from this section of the Me- dia Center. The area that is more commonly thought of as the library is run by Mrs. Polum. She catalogues and or- ders books and magazines and is responsible for the high standard of the Arvada West Media Center. Media Center Academics 57 The Gifted and Talented Humanities program is for those students who excel in academics and creativity. They are selected by instructors La- Forte and O'Donnell. In the three-year program, students are encouraged to answer questions such as, What is man?” and What is life” by making relationships between philosophy, art, literature, music, and history. Besides attending the Humanities core class this year, several students participate in rewarding extra-curricular activities, such as ushering at the Denver Center Theatre, working at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanity, and of course initiating the new sophomores into the program. Gifted And Talented Humaniries 58 Academics The Gifted and Talented Program for the Autonomous Learner recognizes the unique needs, values, and tal- ented students. In its fifth year, the program is de- signed for individual pursuit of knowledge, for stimu- lation of creative thought, and for interaction among these students. Jolene Knapp is the coordinator. Gifted And Talented Academics 59 The students at Arvada West High School were fortunate enough to have several students from oth- er countries attend our school during the last year.

World and Merican History. One year of each is required to graduate. World History taken by most students in their sophomore year, offers courses such as Ancient and Classified Civilization, Renaissance and Reformation, Nation States, and Latin Amer- ica. During this one year of World History one quarter has to be substituted with the American Enterprise System Course. American History, usually taken as a junior, of- fers the classes of American Frontier, Sectional- ism, Civil War, and 20th Century Foreign Rela- tions. A quarter out of this year, one class has to be a government related class. The Social Studies staff is exceptional. They are always willing to go out of their way to make a class better. They have contributed a great deal to the knowledge of each and every student in school. History 62 Academics History Academics 63 There are many bands for an instrumentalist to participate in. In the fall the Marching Band and Concert Band are offered. During the winter months is the Concert Pep Band (this band also performs at all home basketball games. During the spring the bands of- fered are the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band. In addition, two Jazz groups are offered throughout the year. Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Showcase. The Orchestra is a performance organization made up of highly skilled players. The group specializes in both string orchestra and symphonic literature, performing four to five concerts a year. Orchestra members of outstanding performance ability are encouraged to perform as soloists with the group. Members who wish to audition may participate in the Musical Orchestra, the AWHS String Quartet and other school-sponsored chamber music activities. Orchestra musicians are also encouraged to participate in larger groups at the city, county, and state levels. Orchestra Academics, t 5 There are many different levels of choir offered to the students at Arvada West High School. Chamber Singers is an ensemble which is made up of several selected voices. The group concentrates on classical literature. There are three different Mixed Chorus Classes. These classes introduce the students to the Arvada West Choir, teach the students solo literature, and help them to understand the music notation. The Advanced Chorus and Concert Choir classes are also offered to Arvada West, but students must audition for these classes. Vocal Showcase is another choir class that is of- fered. It is a selected group of experienced and knowledgable singers. The primary goal of this group is to perform. Company West, another choir class, is a repertory group which concentrates on performing several varied literatures. Choir 1 66 Academics Music Academics 67 The philosophy of Technical Arts states that, A rapidly changing and highly technical 'World of Work' requires that today's youth develop an active interest and understanding of industrial life, the methods of production and distribution the place of industry in our society, and their relationship to it. Full development of each individual's own inter- ests, needs, and abilitys can only be realized when every effort is made to offer a variety of endeavor areas. Technical Arts, as a part of career education, does provide this necessary opportu- nity for a great many of our youth to adjust successfully to our complex modern environ- ment. In accomplishing this, the curriculum in technical arts must be sufficiently flexible and appropriate in content and approach that it can serve the needs of all groups. To serve the needs of many students, the Arvada West Technical Arts department offers a wide variety of courses. These courses include Auto Survey, Drafting, Electronics, Met als. Wood Shop and Industrial Cooperative Education. Each of these classes is designed to prepare the student with a general knowledge of the world of work Tech Arts 08 Academics Tech Arts The usefulness and fun of getting along in an- other language has been particularly apparent at Arvada West during the past two years. The for- eign language classes have enjoyed having a large number of exchange students from Ger- many, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, France, Chile, Venezuela, Columbia, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico in class. These students are either study- ing another language or helping our students to learn theirs. Students of all languages taught — Spanish, French, German, Latin, and Russian — cooperate on an annual International Dinner which in- cludes authentic foods of many countries and folk dancing. Throughout the year, the use of the languages goes beyond the boundaries of the classrooms in field trips, in movies and restau- rants, in the total immersion Foreign Language camps, in the Quarter Abroard Program and in contacts with local native-speakers. A 1 Foreign language The home economics department offers a wide range of courses for students. Offerings include Marriage Family Living, Child Development, Foods, Clothing Interior Design. New to Arvada West this year is the Home Econo- mics Occupation program. Students involved in this receive training in skills for home economics related occupations and are placed on the job, re- ceiving credit for both class and job. Home Economics students also participate in lead- ership activities at the local, state and national level through FHA-HERO and the Home Ec. Student Fo- rum. Home Ec Academics 71 Arvada West's P.E. program is known through- out the state as one of the most complete and certainly one of the best. In addition to the basic course offerings such as volleyball, basketball, and softball, our P.E. department offers cross country skiing, an excellent backpacking course, and periodically fishing. Our P.E. faculty has worked with and will continue to work with stu- dents and their needs. With the wide variety of courses, every student can find something interesting. Physical Education 72 Academics Drivers Education, taught by Mr. Fincken offers valuable in-class information, and experience such as the simulator, controlled driving which is on the driving range, and finally the real thing. Students apply what they have learned to the city, moun- tains, and freeway driving. If the students pass each phase and pass the class, they receive lower insur- ance rates. Said Mr. Fincken. I'm trying to teach each student a safe method of the rules of the road, and in an overall sense, a pleasant attitude about himself and driving. Drivers Education Academics 73 Student Government is a group of students who care about getting involved in many extracurricular activi- ties. Besides trying to accomplish many things to improve our school and school activities. Student Government helps the people in our community! Student Govern- ment has also accomplished putting on dances, put- ting together Homecoming activities, keeping stu- dents informed, running concession stands, helping plan prom and a lot of other successful events throughout the school year! Mr. Mitchell, the sponsor of Student Government, takes on a lot of responsibility besides the hard work. He takes a lot of pride in Student Government and he wants the best or nothing at all. Mr. Mitchell is one reason why Student Government is such a success. Student Government Many divisified art classes are available to improve one's creative ability and to broaden one's knowl- edge of all types of art. Drawing I or Basic Design are prerequisites to con- tinue in the art curriculum. The art department offers a variety of classes, including painting, draw- ing, jewelry, and ceramics. Business Business education at Arvada is taken very seri- ously. The classes in the business department prepare students for the job market after gradu- ation and continuing education and college. Students can find most types of courses offered to help them attain a position after graduation. Typing, shorthand and accounting all help in preparation for diversified jobs. The business teachers try to achieve a certain status of teaching proper skills concerning busi- ness matters. Through the cooperation of the Arvada West students the business department has been very successful. Business Academics 77 The PC and SIEBD programs are de- signed for students who require addi- tional instruction in areas of reading, language arts, math, and or history. Classes are small or instructions are in- dividualized. Assignments are made es- pecially for each student. Assistance in other classes is given to students in the programs. Vocational guidance is given to help students make career choices and to help students plan for their futures following graduation. Special Education 78 Academics The reading department, consisting of Jack Ponis, the reading specialist and Beth Busey, the reading teacher offered classes for all levels of reading. More students took reading this year than ever before in the history of the school. Student success and reading improvement in ad- dition to enjoyment have been important reasons for increasing popularity.

Students and faculty both joined in together on the week's festivities ranging from dressing like a nerd to yell- ing, laughing and cheering at the spirit ral- lies. This year's Homecoming was held the week of October 20th, 1980. The football game held on the 23rd was a disappoint- ment to all; the final score being 34 to 0. Homecoming has been held at Arvada West since the very beginning. It is thought to be a time when all former students come back to give support to their alma mater. Home- coming has always been thought of as a big part of every school year and this year was no exception. 00 3 — 3 o o re g o x 3l0£a 00£ — COO H o m e c 0 m 1 n g Homecoming Queen And King Margarita Rodriguez and Todd Schlepp Senior Attendants Sunhee Juhon and Dee Jay Smith Senior Attendants Gina Granato and Pete Wilson o o d D o c t o r This year's theatrical productions were truly the finest, beginning with the Neil Simon classic, The Good Doctor. This play is con- sidered to be a blend of light humor mixed with ironic twists and other surprises. In total there was a combination of eight short vignettes, rather than a continuous plot, in which each were told by the character of the writer. All the pieces were set in turn-of-the- century Russia, and ideally outlined man's weaknesses, goals and capacities. The most popular of these scenes is The Seduction, a tale of a married woman and her attraction to her husband's friend, and The Timid Creature, the conflict between a domi- nating mistress and her timid governess. These in particular exaggerated the human spirit and its quest for recognition and respect. Each member was particularly striking in the portrayal of his character, and each was ap- plauded deservingly at the end of this unique performance. CAST Todd Bader, David Blanton, Beth Boatright, Marc Cinquanta, Steve Baley, Jennie Eagon, Shawn Gibson, Andy Hancock, Neal Husome, Karen Kling, Maria Lederhos, Amy Polak, and Kris Utoff. 200 The cast, crew and orchestra of the Arvada West High School performing arts spent a great deal of their time preparing for the performance of The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd, by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony New- ley. The authors have described this musical-comedy as a Laurel and Hardy set to music. The play was set around The Game, a struggle between the haves and have nots represented by Sir and Cocky. The Kid and the Urchins supported and learned from Sir, while the Bully and the Girl complicat- ed matters. After the Negro enters, things began to change. The dynamic cast sang their way through it all, while being supported by this year's superb or- chestra and the behind-the-scenes work of the crew. All work was under the direction of Judy Theom- ing and Monte Otto. CAST Sir ........................

Band and Flag Team participated in events ranging from the Harvest Festival Parade to football games. All their hard work was under the direction of Mr. Zachman. g 211 Dances are always a fun part of every school year. 1980-81 dances included Cowboy, Valen- tines, and Sadie Hawkins dances. The most popular of these dances is Sadie Hawkins. This is a time when the girls get a chance to ask that long admired guy out for an evening. The evening usually involves a din- ner out followed by hours of dancng. For those who feel ready, a wedding ceremony is also a big event during the evening. All dances are planned and run by Student Government. i - The Arvada Harvest Festival celebration, held annually, is a tradi- tion that started many years ago. The festival was a meeting place for all farmers to bring their crops and participate in various con- tests. Although the Harvest Festival is still a place for contests, the times have changed and so have the competitions. As it is today, the festival is not just for farmers anymore but for everyone of all ages. This past year the Arvada Harvest Festival, held September 4th through the 6th, was an event Arvada West took part in. Student Government worked very hard in building and operating a ring toss booth. The band, flagteam, pom pons, and cheerleaders all partici- pated in the big parade held the morning of the 6th. When the Harvest Festival came to a close everyone was already looking forward to next years Festival. CL m c h e e r I e e r s Cheerleaders (jr.

The Arvada West Varsity Football team suffered its first losing season in fourteen years. It was particularly disappointing be- cause they were the defending Jeffco Champions having won the league and played in the state playoffs each of the two previous seasons. In spite of their lack of success in competition the Wildcats showed a lot of character in maintaining a positive attitude and working extremely hard in preparing for every game. The team certainly wasn't satisfied with losing and learned to dedicate themselves to doing everything in their pow- er to produce a winning effort. The coaches agreed that in spite of the team record working with this group of young men was one of their most rewarding exper- iences ever. Coaches and players alike did their utmost to win every game in spite of the adversity that was attached to a losing season. The Wildcat pride was as avident in 1980 as it was in any of the winning seasons. Success may be measured by many kinds of criteria —we re proud!! Football 243 The purpose of the junior varsity football program is to give sophomores and juniors game experience to prepare them for varsity competition the following year. The 1980 junior varsity team played only four games this past season due to cancellations from their opponents. J.V.

They were Southern Division Champs and shut out all fine teams in their division. They played Green Mtn. for the League Championship at 6th Kipling and were beat in the last minute on a 60 yard T.D. The Sophs had previoysly beat Green Mtn. in a non division game. The Sophs outscored their opponents 200 to 51 the second lowest total points scored on a Soph team in the school's history. Coach Asbury feels the overall talent on the 1980 team is the best since the school opened in 1963. The Sophs will join a super Jr. class and should comprise an outstanding team for the up com- ing season. Football 247 Thirty-four runners participated in cross-country in 1980.

The strongest link on the team was the defense, with Kevin Wayland and Dee Jay Smith holding off the opposition. Unfortunately, the team was broken when eight players were released from the team for breaking contract.

According to Coach Ponis there may have been one or two better individual players in the past, but no team has had the depth at doubles and total team strength as this one had. Many of the players started preparing for the district championship in junior high. Tom Russ, Jim Hach- ten, Mike Smith, Mike MacDonnel, Nick Bjarum, Todd Olson, Paul Kiehn, Bryan White, Dave Myers, Tom Krug, and Jerry Counts played team tennis since they were 11 and 12 years old. A large number of the players took professional lessons, and took part in winter tennis clinics at Mr. Shadow or Mead- ow Creek for years. The boys worked at their games year round and this is one reason why they were champions two years in a row. 2M Tennis Back row. Jim Hachten, Paul Kiehn. Tom Russ. Coach Ponis. Mike Mark Cinquanta.
