I 98 n Opening 1 Students' Guide To 1986 Everyone needs a guide, not only to direct their course daily, but also to show them the way through life. The Students' Guide to 1986 gives students a guide to academics, athletics, and student life. A yearbook should display a wide variety of activities, ranging from academics, to clubs, to athletic events, therefore, show- ing the spirited and involved atmosphere of the school, expressed Sarah Scott. Yearbooks also disclose the inner oper- ations of a school. A yearbook illustrates what makes a school tick by showing what student life is like, and by reflecting back on all the events that happened dur- ing the year, stated Pat Durkin. Not only do yearbooks provide students with a guide of events, but they also give them something to reminisce upon. Carol Lee Stott remarked, lf l looked back in my old yearbooks ten years from now, l would look for things that relate to me and my friends, teachers, and activi- ties. The better the yearbook, the better it directs the student. A yearbook should be well-organized, said Karl lamieson. Paul Taylor also commented, A year- book should have a lot of pictures of out- side activities involving students. Early August will mark the beginning of a new school year, but the Students' Guide to 1986 will preserve the memories of academic achievements, great tri- umphs in athletics, and the varied, excit- ing moments of student life. 2 Theme Opening 3 Umm QQ II N 1 In years to come, the homecoming gariers will bring back the memories of ai! the great times we had during homecoming, stated Heather Stowell. Zac Iones enthused, School spirit is viiai. People who don'i have it really disappoint me. Any chance I get io be weird, I am! Creek Homecoming is a time for the students to unite together, share school spirit, and have a jammin' time, exclaimed senior left Heiby. Homecoming is an annual event that brings back the alumni to renew old ac- quaintances and reminisce about school memories. It is also a time for current stu- dents to go all out and celebrate their time of the year . Spirit week was filled with many excit- ing activities. There were events such as assemblies, athletic events, dress-up days, and the homecoming parade. These events were planned and put together by the Senate members. The dress-up days consisted of Beach day, Hero day, Clash day, Slob day, and Green and Gold day. Spirit week was really great. ft showed some deep, intellectual thought and cre- ativity in each daily event, commented sophomore Matt Higgerson. I though spirit week was extra special because everyone participated in the ex- citement and enthusiasm, stated sopho- more Steffany Tucker. The Homecoming assembly prepared the student body and administration for the excitement of the parade, the football S I Week game, and the dance. The assembly end- ed with three airband performances. Iron Maiden won the airband contest. The members of the group were Kirk Smith, Dan Bangert, leff Thomas, Sean Noonan, and Chris Morales. Whitney Traylor, as Michael l ackson also did a fan- tastic job. Several faculty members per- formed the wild and zany The Home- coming Queen has a Gun and added extra pizzaz to the assembly. Being in the assembly gave me a chance to express myself and the music I love while at the same time entertaining Bear Creek as a whole, enthused senior Chris Morales. l'The Homecoming parade was a small representation of our school's many im- pressive attributes, remarked sophomore Kris Zietz. The parade began with the marching band and was followed by the Homecoming Royalty, class floats, club floats, and students' decorated cars. l amie Gelwick added, Homecoming parades are the basis for my entire educational experience. lay Pearson did a great job of summing whole exciting week in a single WOW! up the word, F Homecoming week has always been great, and this year is no exception. lt's sad to think this is the last one for the seniors of '86, expressed Senior lohn lor- dan. Opening 5 Ummgigmf i ' '- A Never Ending Dream, Appears Neither sleet, snow, cold, or dead of night can deter the spirit and enthusiasm of the Bears as they turned out' en masse for the final activities of Homecoming week 1985. The Bears played the Wheatridge Farmers Friday at Reed Street Stadium in record low temperatures and blustering winds. Even with the cold, fans packed the bleachers and many resorted to stand- ing in the aisles to see the game and to cheer near their friends. At halftime, fill Mickey and lim May were announced as the Homecoming King and Queen and the Chorale sang the schools new alma mater that was selected especially for this year. The Bears dominated the game with an offensive attack of four touchdowns, three in the first half, that stifled the momentum of the Farmers. This win had a special historical importance since it was the first time in seven years that the Bears won their Homecoming. Winning the Home- Homecoming coming game was really cool because it really added a spirit of pride throughout the school, stated Angie Iackson. Saturday night the dance was held in the gymnasium amid six inches of snow outside. For many of those who attended, the evening started with a luxurious din- ner around town. The snow and ice caused transportation problems so many arrived after the dance had started. The theme of this year's dance was The Nev- er Ending Dream , the theme song was the 1970's hit Qur Song by Elton lohn. A live band kept the Bears dancing rather than the usual disc-jockey spinning re- cords. Queen and King, lill Mickey and I im May, presided over the evening and were crowned in a beautiful, emotional ceremony. The dance culminated an excited fren- zy of spirit-filled unity for the Bears. As Leslie Dubois observed, The Homecom- ing dance this year was great! It highlight- ed a fantastic week at our school. Winning the Homecoming game was a nice end to a great week, commented Cory Ryckman. lim May enthused, I didnt expect to become Homecoming King, but I am glad because it turned out to be a special experience, especially with fill. xwww -' H 'M-2 Q: I- mm-1 ff- Jn, -:W-mfr.-:ff-A r -- , wi Qpfm, 1-:,zv1.fQQ mm. - wp, .1 '..r.w,fJw W v,1.,xm-gsm-ali?-.f .U f. -,,u.,,,gE,Kq-rg-MHQM1W-f,,gim,,,.g,fK,.3.2gKWifiqm,,:-- WY 7- --- --A Y t-12,33 nw-wwf 1'--ww' ' ' ffMfw+f1fwFw1.,12+f --A H-awl-w-vs-fvmww +-m-M-.-,w.f4-Qr-f-a1a-wm-MA.me-isawmmm-4-na4:av-wavwmszwrsi nw.-1n-1ewmmwuaa.2n:1f1:-:.i1-A:imm-w.-w..u-.,.w:f ,WSZLELW Y-:Y Y,,. mf M .-f-wwf -w - -fnwmvm W.-yn-pm Mwvvwvf-WW? fm-,M .RLff..wzf1A1.w-mum'-F-warm nmw.Qw-,vfw..mrf.. mm, M .-vw-M-N:-fffwf 4, .--fm lmwfmmmrfwbnm-Nwwnmmm.mnammffmmnwm mmvm-ff-W M, M.,fm.m:L4,wm1.-:,w.m www, mmf :mmfwmvN-XW.W..-wrw.w.mi.ff-mm-xmasmy 2-wMmf.g-H-www W-WMMWmeWmy,Wmwmmmm.mmvm mm mxmwmwwfmmxwwmwnwummlm -s.

Mike Huston feels, it makes our class unique to have the l-laley's Comet come the same year as we graduate. Photo courtesy of the Denver Post, Stars Abound On November 30, 1835, Mark Twain was born as it circled the sun, and on April 21 1910, he went out with it. Coinci- dence? Or is it one of the many mysteries about Halley's Comet, perhaps the most famous of the astronomical wonders. The comet returned again to this inner part of the solar system early this year in Febru- ary through early April. It hadn't been this close to Earth since 1910, when it had last voyaged around the sun and shot back out on its four billion mile journey past Pluto, continuing its seventy-six year cy- cle. Halley's Comet has been observed in history for 2,000 years, since 240 B.C. and was first scientifically recorded by Ed- mund Halley, whom it was named after in 1682. He predicted its annual cycle and when it would next be visible to the naked eye. Nearly 350 years since Edmund Hal- ley's discovery, modern technology is so- phisticated enough to scientifically study this large comet and identify its structures and comopositions. However, this orbit- ing, interplanetary object is still a great mystery to this planet. Halley's Comet is large, the largest of recorded comets. Its tail, at its maximum length, is over 77 mil- lion miles long. lt will not return until 2062 AD, after the beginning of the 21st cen- tury. One person his fans don't want to see go out with the mysterious comet is the Boss, Bruce Springsteen. The man is a star in the world of rock n' roll, and his success has not been an overnight phenomenon. His true loyal fans have always appreciat- ed Bruce since he burst on the music scene in the late 60's. He isn't like other rich and famous rock stars. He wants to be your friend, commented leri Garcia. Heather Stowell remarked, Bruce sings with feeling and his songs have meaning. Shane Grimshaw added, Bruce has every right to be The Boss. His music is so poetic, especially in his latest album Born ln the U.S.A. He sings bal- lads of his life and the lives of other peo- ple. Bruce Springsteen's concerts are Glo- ry Days, for all his fans who are lucky enough to attend. Shane said To see Bruce in concert is so many people's dream, but for his true fans it is a reality. 1 Ohn Lahr stated, He has a lot of charisma on stage. Above all, Bruce Springsteen believes in people and the American dream of hard work and caring for others. At each stop along his tour Bruce donates large sums of money to various charities and encourages concert-goers to bring canned food for the needy. Heather summed up his personality, He is an All- American Boy.

Some students felt that the excitement was sparked by the senior class. Gayle Mika related, The mystique of being a senior is the foundation of our school spir- iff! Others contributed the explosion of school spirit to Governor Lamm, the guest speaker. Governor Lamm had a positive impact on our school spirit and started us off to an outrageous year! stated Kari El- lis. The Governor presented 4.0 academic students with medals of excellence. The academic assembly not only showed re- spect for Bear Creek's top students, but it also motivated other students to do as well, said David Munoz. For his participation in the ceremony, Governor Lamm was made an honorary Bear and awarded with a medal of ex- cellence. When questioned about his first assem- bly, freshman Dirk Zender commented, The assembly and all the school spirit has encouraged me to try for better grades and become more involved with school activities. Gpening 1 1 'EI' t ml Working For A Living What do you and your friends do with your spare time? Do you spend your time after school under enormous piles of homework? Cr do you fix up your car, go shopping, party and see movies? Where does the money come from to undertake these and other various activities? Do you come by cash flow through your parents, or is your spare change obtained by work- ing after school? For numerous high school students, holding a part-time job becomes a finan- cial necessity. However, this need to make spending money is over-shadowed by the burden of homework and other school related activities. Time is spread thin between school and holding a job. Fast food restaurants have been the path taken by many students, but a few have chosen different and sometimes unusual jobs. These students have rare talent and uncommon devotion to what they do. This unique dedication is demonstrated by ju- nior Kelly Fedel: I have been so busy lifeguarding at three different pools that the only thing l remember from the sum- mer is 'Don't runl' Although working can be repetitive, l2 obs senior Angie Heaton discovered that working at a day care center has been the most rewarding experience. I can't explain the thrill of watching the kids learn and grow and being apart of shap- ing their livesl Teaching others and learning from others how to communicate with different age groups can prove to be self-satisfying. Not all jobs are calm in nature, howev- er. lunior Liz Frolich expressed the oscil- lation found in being a piano instructor, Teaching piano is filled with acceleran- dos and staccatos. Key signatures all too often consist of seven sharps, but through all, you just learn to fully enjoy sections of legatos and to place fermatas over your favorite melodies, always remembering that a relative major is only three half-steps away. lobs have their ups and downs, their beneficial contentment and upsetting dis- appointments, but as junior David Walt- man prophesied, Ben Franklin said, 'A penny saved is a penny earnedf Howev- er, there is a second part of this adage that is rarely quoted, 'A penny saved will be immediately spentt' You meet lots of new people when working as a receptionist at school, stated Mary Thome. ,asv ..,,, K ' -WRWW' mn. .wwf s. 4.

Turn lt Loose As the old saying goes, l'All work and no play makes lack a dull boy. Students need a time to unwind, relax and enjoy themselves. lt is during this time after hours that friends can release their anxi- eties and forget the pressures of school and work. Over weekends, we usually go out with a bunch of friends and go to a party or do something together, com- mented junior Amy Metzdorf. Most people don't plan what they are doing over the weekends or after school The last minute actions usually are the best times. The place to go is the place that seems most interesting and exciting at the time, said Melissa McVay. A lot of students associate partying with their after hours escapades, and often it seems drinking goes along with partying. However, a party doesn't necessarily have to be a place where everyone gets trashed. Not all students feel they have to party to have a good time. I usually go swimming or to dance classes-whatever comes up, stated sophomore Kristina Wolfe. So whether you are lack-or lill, the thing to do is get away from school and work, so that you can do the things that you most enjoy. Every once in a while I like to do something weird so life doesn't seem so ordinary, but extra-ordinary! en- thused Tonya Miller. Opening 15 S-T U-DENT LIFE Student Life 17 Z.ZQUE5:? 'UNION or' INDIVIDUALS- A Sea Cf Individuals The bell finally rings on a Friday after- noon and there is a weekend to look for- ward to. Students gather at their lockers or by the gym and discuss their plans for the night. Some jocks wearing their letter jackets decide to go to the basketball game and then on to a party. Others will go to a movie, go cruising, or go to Fun- plex for bowling, putt-putt golf, pool, roll- er skating, video games, or just to visit with friends. Still other student decide to stay home on a Friday or Saturday night and concentrate on doing their home- work. There are several types of students, all with their own ideas of having a good time. Some are the I ocks, Norms, Punkers, Cowboys, and the Heavy Metalers. How do people feel when they are walking down the hall and see someone who does not look like they do? Chris Lynch com- mented, When I see someone dressed differently than myself, I naturally think that they are different from me. I also think that they are individuals and dress the way they do for the fun of it, because they like the styles, or for a little attention from oth- ers in the school. Each person is an individual and I think it is nice to see each student with his or her own lifestyle, concluded Eric Dol- vin. Many people believe that all Heavy Metal fanatics ditch class and party all the time. Nikki Cantrell stated her disbelief with this sterotype when she stat- ed, I am a true Metaler, but I get semi-okay grades, go to class, and still party quite a bit! I8 Union Cf Individuals Todd Bresnick displays his individuality in a costume adapted from one used in the movie A Clockwork Orange, Sherri Duffy catches a breather and awaits her chance to score during a Softball game. 1 Er 5 s X The Style Councils The halls of B.C. are alive with students. At first glance, a cluster of people with blue hair and wild makeup are standing by the wall. Next, a boy with long hair, a ludas Priest shirt, and a leather jacket walks by. Finally, four dudes in western wear mosey on their way. These students are some of the Extremes of Bear Creek, those who willingly look different from others, but are still accepted. Punks are the newest group of students to arrive at B.C. Brandon Felix explained, Punk is a look that reflects a philosophy that is rooted deep in one's desire for self- expression. The Punkers are looked down upon andjjudged quckly because of their extravagerjit styles. You should nev- er make fun of things unless you know all about it. The people who make fun of Punkers don't know what they're really 1ike, claimed Trish Donnelly. Many Punkers spend their spare time downtown in the Tabor Center and the Sixteenth Street Mall lt isl a place for all Punkers around the city to meet. Heavy Metalers, another one of the ste- reotyped Extremes of B.C. are known as those who party all the time, get bad grades, and ditch almost every class. However, Nikki Cantrell stated, I am a true Metaler, but I get semi-okay grades, go to class, and still party quite a bit! Heavy Metal music is also supposed to be loud and violent but Catrina Buchanan stated, There are some great slow and melodic songs too. Heavy Metal is just a different bread of rock. Bary Bauer con- cluded, Heavy Metal is just kickin' back and listening to some Good ol' Rock and Roll. Cowboys are the last of the Extremes. Ray Barnett said, l consider myself a Cowboy since I came from Oklahoma. Cowboys aren't too popular around here, but I get along okay. Many people judge too hastily and assume that Cowboys only like trucks, hay, and listen to KBRQ. One difference between the Cowboys and the other groups in the Extreme concerns their lifestyles. Steve Aimes claimed, lt's more of a way of life than a fashion. The extremes are special groups of peo- ple who willingly dress or act differently. Brandon Felix concludes, People should be less afraid of what's on the outside than what's on the inside. Student Life l9 LLQUKS-Z'- -umou OF 1NDNanuai.S- Timid Traits In contrast to the Extremes are the Or- dinary People, who are exotic in their in- dividual ways but do not express it quite as openly as the Extremes. The Ordinary People include the locks, Squares, and Normals. locks are stereotyped as big and stupid. However, many locks receive good grades. Senior Mark Mead explained, People feel that locks don't normally do well in school, but that's not the case. Most of my friends do well in school. In order for a student to participate in sports, hefshe must have at least a 2.5 average. Being an athlete requires dedication both physically and academically, stated Kelly Fedel. Another group of individuals are the lntellectuals, otherwise known an Squares . Squares are the supposedly introverted students who stay home on the weekends to study. However, this classifi- cation is also wrong. I ill Bonita explained, Squares don't always stay home Satur- day night doing homework. Many of us have boyfriends and girlfriends and live normal lives. In their spare time, Squares do the same thing as everyone else, have a great time! Andrea Pieti concludes, A Square is someone who does homework well. The largest group around the school are the the Normals . Normals are a con- glomeration of ev-eryone else who does not fit into any other stereotyped category. Iunior Meredith Winfield expressed, I don't really consider myself anything be- cause l don't really follow any certain group, and I don't try to be anything l'm not. I just try to get by. Everyone fits into the Normal group at one time or another. To have a great time many teens can be found at dances, the mall, parties, cruising Colfax, and any number of other exciting hot spots . Within many types of students at school, there are many different personal- ities and the school would not be com- plete if even one type were missing, stat- ed Ruth Osmus. 20 Union Of Individuals IUEXICEUE HX w IUEXICE K -,. .i Sometimes the best way for a person to display their individuality ' is to not dress like anyone else at all, stated Mike Greene. Senior Senators, loelle Swanson and Terry Breheny take time out from their busy schedule to display their friendship, A true individual can't be afraid of what everyone might think of you, replied Mike Huston. lf a person wants to be truly different then they can't go about it in the same way that everyone else does, commented Kevin Don- nelly. Student Body President, Lynnette Brenner, finds that individualism can be expressed in many ways.

Hard as it may seem, being new is even tough for adults. The transition can be tramendous, but because of the helpful and friendly staff fitting in can be much easier. l think that Bear Creek has a lot of neat kids. I am very impressed, Mrs. True re- plied, who has recently joined the science team. Mrs. True is one of the twenty-two members added to the staff this year. Mrs. Lundgren, another new science teacher, remarked that the students here seem more sophisticated because they come from a city area rather than a rural area, where she taught last, in Pennsylva- nia. Changes from schools can be diffi- cult: different books, four year school in- stead of three, modified C schedule, and a different atmosphere. With all the new staff members, the Bear Creek faculty has enough new blood to prevent complacency. Posing for the camera isn't an every day accurance for Ms. Bobbit. The new teachers are initiated into the kazoo band during the pep rally. il' Ms. Snell a new business teacher takes a Five-Alive break during the day. Faculty 25 The Right Type As the phones ring and people ask questions, these ladies play a special role. These ladies are the school secretaries. Their desks are piled with papers as they try to keep up with the day's activities. Their duties are as varied as is their num- ber ot years ot experience. Ms. Bowers, the principals secretary, stated, I have been here since March ot 1985, and I have enjoyed it. My main job here has been to make appointments and write the correspondence tor Dr. Doggett. Another lady who works hard to keep the school moving ahead into the tuture is Ms. D'l-laillecourt. She said, l have worked at this school tor nine years, and l have enjoyed it very much. The job that l mainly do here has been enrolling stu- dents and handling activities and athlet- ics. At the beginning ot the year a new lady stepped into Ms. Erb's place as financial secretary. Ms. Erb went to the Administra- tion Building to start a new career with more responsibilities and ditterent exper- iences. This secretary is Ms. Braning, and she said, I have been here since the 23rd ot September ot 1985. l have enjoyed it very muchg it's tun. My main job is to keep track ot the books and to be the financial secretary. These secretaries are indispensable. They are the people that keep this school up with the times. Without them, the daily workings ot the school would tall apart. 755 26 Secretaries With the telephones ringing and new paperwork coming in, Ms, Sunich and Ms. Malloy manage to smile throughout the day. Ms. O'Keete and Ms. Bowers are deep in the matters ot a A secretaries day. The buck stops here at Ms. Braning's desk, Y ....,. 1, ,fya Ms. Marilynne Alexander: Math. Ms. lane Archer: English.

Bear Creek owes its clean appearance to the custodians. The custodians are much ap- preciated tor the fine job that they do. All nine custodians on staff are supervised by Lloyd Hollingsworth, who has worked at Bear Creek for tour years. I enjoy work- ing around the students, teachers, and my statt. l have lots ot good help, comment- ed Mr. Hollingsworth. A custodians day consists not only ot cleaning the school but heating, airconditioining, and general maintenance duties. The custodial staff is helpful and considerate. They work well as a team to get things done. Keep up the good work, Lloyd and statt. loe Allen says, l take a lot of pride in my work. Faculty 29 The Grill Team I think that the cooks perform a very valuable service to our school, stated senior Greg Nelson. This appreciation, however, is not shared by all students. Most students take for granted the services performed by the cooks and simply overlook them. The cooks are responsible for planning, pre- paring, cooking and serving all of the food available in the cafeteria. We plan the meals one month in advance, stated Lalieta l-larris, the cafeteria manager. This demonstrates how much time is involved in being a school cook. Most students do not realize this when they receive their lunch and often do not give the respect they deserve.

As a whole, l think our class is more together and unified than past classes. We're also a lot more rowdy this year, explained lim May. Various members ot the class ot '86 have ditterent perspectives about their graduating class. Some classes have lots of rowdies, or jocks, or brainy people, but we have all types ot people and personal- ities, which make our class great all the way around, stated Tim O'Connor. There are also those seniors who think that the reason the class ot '86 is special is because ot its cosmic aspects. Our class is special above all other senior classes because our class graduates the year Hal- ley's comet is returning, commented Mike Ellison.

What's lt is 1986. For most seniors, this is the last year of school and a variety of plans have been made for the following years. Most seniors will be married and raising a family by the year 1996, but according to an enthused Kirk Smith, 1 will be living on a beach in California rich and married, but cheating on my wife daily. Few seniors have really thought about what they will be doing in ten years, be- cause it is hard to imagine that far ahead. For Sarah House 1996 is not all that far lt is hard to believe that in ten years all of my friends will be married and have 2.5 kids, replied Brian Reed. 36 Where Will We Be ln 1996? W less In Store? away. 1 will be going to college at the University of Michigan to become a doc- tor. Hopefully 1 will not be married by then because the fun has just begun. Not all seniors are stumped on the thought, Where will we be in 1996? Many will be doing the basics such as college, mar- riage and jobs. For Kent Shelton none of these fit into what he will be doing. 1 will be living in Cuba under official exile and living with halt of the free world.

Experiencing The Wild Two weeks in the Texas wilderness, ten days on a farm, a week long expedtion on the Colorado Plateau, four days at a mountain lodge, a night in the Brown Pal- ace Hotel. Sounds like fun doesn't it? lt's Senior Seminar, a course offered exclu- sively to seniors during second semester. Senior Seminar is a course designed to give students a chance to learn about dif- ferent things that are needed after high school, such as responsibility, commit- ment, and personal confidence. This class also challenges the participants mentally and physically, strengthening their abili- ties to make and write observations and effectively share their ideas and listen to others. ln addition to five weeks outside the Denver area seniors are able to visit places such as the Denver Center for The Performing Arts, the Colorado Legislature and the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder. A community ser- vice project is also undertaken, with the participants carrying out a project of their choice. To be eligible to take this course, students must have a 2.0 grade point aver- age, with at least l7 credits already earned in their previous high school years. Participants are able to earn their final credits of graduation during the course in science, English, and social studies. Mr. Leachman, the course super- visor, aptly stated, While Senior Seminar is a very difficult course, in academic terms and ability, it can be very reward- ing.

Lynn Gersabeclc: Soccer, Senate, Gymnastics Andy Gerster What Being A Senior Means Becoming a senior is a big part in a student's high school life, For some, how- ever, being a senior is not any different than being a freshman, sophomore or ju- nior except for the fact that they are older. The word senior has different meanings among senior students. Participating in a prank, or making an underclassman push a penny are just a few things that cause seniors to feel like a senior. A senior is considered to be way above the rest of the classes. According to Brenda Kintz, We have more control than we used to and more privileges. A senior is looked upon as a responsible young adult, who helps hold and keep classes unified. To me, being a senior means that we've finally accomplished a dream that's taken us twelve years to fulfill. lt means we've come through the good times as well as the bad times and have developed rela- tionships we'll cherish forever, ex- claimed Mychelle Rook. We have a big ger responsibility to ourselves as well as Bear Creek High School. Erick Whittier said seriously, Being a senior means to be on top, to have all the underclassmen look up to us for leadership as well as strength. Having fulfilled all twelve years, with this being our last year, makes being a senior great. Seniors 41 Reaching The End Sooner As the first semester of school draws to an end, both students and teachers look forward to an enjoyable and relaxing win- ter vacation. Seniors may use this time to contemplate their second semester, but for a few individuals, the completion of first semester means the end of high school. Every year, about two or three seniors decide the want to graduate early and skip the second semester of their year, stated Mrs. Kriewald, a counselor. These students end their school year in De- cember and, therefore, do not attend school from lanuary to lune. There are various reasons why a senior may decide to graduate early. Most sen- iors who graduate early decide to do so because they have already earned their t required credits, remarked Mr. Bates, another counselor. They want to work at a part or full-time job to earn money for college, instead of attending school dur- ing that time. Burn-out is rarely the rea- son. ls graduating early a good idea? 'tl dis- courage early graduation, because l think seniors enjoy their second semester the most, said Mrs. Krewald. Mr. Bates com- mented, l am not strongly against early graduation, but it may hurt students who do not complete their full year of math, science, or foreign language. As the final bell rings of the first semes- ter, students in classrooms begin to cheer, anticipating the coming weeks of winter vacation. But for a few, the final bell marks the beginning of a new life. Kristi Goldesberryr FBLA, HERO. Diane Gonzales: FBLA. Yvonne Gomzalesf FBLA.

Seniors, this being their last year are experiencing more important, mean- ingful relationships than ever before. Most people realize they will always need someone to depend on. When a boy and a girl are close, they usually hope for a future with each other. When questioned about openness be- tween a couple, Eric Kissell replied thoughtfully, lt's important to be open about everything. lf not, everyone gets mad. l think communication is what has kept lngrid and me together so long. Gina Basile stated her own thoughts of Dean Armiger, current boyfriend, Trust and honesty, and the ability to communi- cate is always important. Mike Jamieson: Baseball, Basketball.

Kammy Krause Darren K vall 46 College Application Appliance Row l applied at CSU and School of Mines, senior Dan Bangert explained, after having taken the PSAT, and the ACT. Filling out the necessary applications and taking the proper tests are important steps a senior must take in planning his future. Choosing what college to attend is one of the most important decisions an individual will make in his life. As an aid in helping the seniors choose the college best suited to their interests, a senior memo is available in the college center. Pub- lished once a month, it assists seniors in mak- ing a decision such as what college to apply at based on those offering scholarships or financial aid, and it discusses openings and requirements of colleges. ln addition, the Scholarship Mom Committee has been formed in the college center. Money does not grow on treesg thus, many students find themselves facing a hopeless future involv- ing full-time work and no opportunities to advance their education. This Scholarship Mom Com. was designed to aid those stu- dents who are willing to work tor these op- portunities and single-handedly tackle their goals of attending a good college. College is important to me, expressed Craig Ramirez, a l985 graduate of Bear Creek. This opinion was shared by many of his classmates. Cf the 360 graduates in l985, 228 Cor 6323 attended college and l83 of that 228 remained in Colorado. Academic scholarships were awarded to sixty-five peo- ple and athletic scholarships to fifteen peoA ple. Almost everyone has a dream. However, many lack what it takes to attain that dream whether it be because of no funds, inoppor- tunity, or just little faith in themselves. ln today's society, anything is possible provided one believes in oneself and has the ability to seek assistance. Therefore, college is never out of reach. john Lahr Brad Landis John Langheld Laura Laintz: Basketball, Soccer, Track, Volleyball.

The class ot '86 right at this very moment may be ex- periencing a pang ot nostalgia. This year's seniors have seen many ex- tensive changes occur during their stay at Bear Creek. One ot the most remembered events during the past years has been the change ot school principals, the replace- ment ot Mr. Messmer by Dr. Maran Dog- gett, and the christening ot a new admin- istrative team. Another school-wide event that attected the graduates ot 1986 was the banishment ot the Senior Bench, which was replaced by the Senior Lounge. Taking state in track during the 1984 school year, and going to state in gymnastics and basketball during the 1985 school year have been other memo- rable events. Certain happenings during one's lite tuse together to create a blurred but yet happily memorable past. The seniors ot '86 together have witnessed an event- tilled tour years. ..I -...V .. .Ez N .

They are all underclass- men, as the seniors would say. Mr. Brad Grader is the new campus supervisor, and he is doing a great job. What is a campus supervisor, you ask? Well, it's a person who patrols the school to make sure that everyone and everything is in tip-top shape. For ex- ample, he must make sure that people are in their classes on time and that no one is causing trouble in the halls while classes are going on. Being a campus supervisor is not all tun and games. Mr. Grader's only duty is not just walking around to see it everyone is acting de- cently. He must be right on top ot things, such as making sure that the students' cars are parked in the right places, watching out tor tights and even seniors picking on underclass- men. Other than just supervising the carn- pus, Mr. Grader also likes to help the students with any problems or con- cerns that they might have. When asked what he thought of his job, Mr. Grader answered, I really enjoy the students. But it l had another choice, l would rather teach physical education since l'rn really a PE. teacher, but l do like this job. Keep up the good work, Mr. Grader!

Danelle Rausch Kim Ravenscroft lulie Raymond Brian Reed 54 Cars The Drive To Drive Are cars just for transportation any- more? A recent poll shows that over nine- tyeeight percent of high school students use their cars for a social status. Cars get you places, and yet improve your image, commented Tay Weingardt, owner of an orange '65 Mustang. Automobiles have become a necessity to teens. Parents must allow their children to drive, if not own, a car, whether just for excitement or for dates with friends. Contrary to many parents' beliefs, auto- mboiles are vital to a teenager's existence, because without them, a student couldn't work, date, or expand his personal life, stated Scott Braley. Most students admitted that although they strived to avoid it, their parents con- trolled when they could drive. Parents control their children's driving because of the fear of accidents. Is the high percent- age of teenage accidents due to careless driving or inadequate teaching? An eighty percent minimum passing grade is required on the Colorado driving test. This suggests that some of the accidents that occur on the road may be caused because these mistakes on the test were never corrected. Therefore, the driving test needs to be improved. The driving test is much too easy. After only thirty minutes of studying, an applicant can pass the written test, and receive his permit, commented Todd Thill. The fact remains that students enjoy testing the performance of their cars. Some teenagers have gone as far as to form a car club. This group organizes drag races at Bandimere Speedway. These students realize the importance of taking care of their cars. Tom Cain stated, A car demonstrates how much pride a person takes in himself. Scott Reynolds: Soccer.

Decorating gives students a chance to express self-expression. Pictures in lockers may range from posters of beauti- ful girls or gorgeous guys to Bronco stick- ers. Some students even give their lockers a horney touch by adding carpet. lt real- ly just depends on the person's likes and dislikes, stated senior, Diana Stander. Brian Mora, another senior, suggests Seniors should have their own hall. The Phil Ross Ellen Rugg Mychelle Rook Robyn Rutledge Kevin Ryburn Bryan Ryclcman 56 Lockers situation stinks. Seniors don't like sharing with underclassmenf' Some freshmen complained about sharing a locker with two other people. Asked what it's like, freshman, Tamara Othman replied, 'lWell there's advantages as well as disadvan- tages. An advantage is seeing more of my friends during passing period. A disad- vantage is that it's really crowded in the halls and takes more time to get to class. All in all, students think lockers are like a home away from home.

According to the class of '87, it will be a rather difficult time. The junior year means looking into colleges and trying to prepare tran- scripts that colleges will hopefully ac- cept. During the junior year, the classes are more difficult and the teachers ex- pect more from you, commented lan- elle Sjordal. So far, to most juniors, this is their toughest year. Steve Ill stated, My junior year is the hardest to me because this and next year is when I push myself for good grades and good conduct. While most juniors are feeling as if this is their most challenging year, Mark Evans felt that his freshman year was the har- dest because l had to get used to the work, I understand the system, and now my grades are going up. Several upperclassmen are feeling the pressures of growing older, as Kimberly Mills explained, Your future becomes more of a reality.

Others stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same. These beautiful words spoken by Ms. Catherine Stevens at Bear Creek Evangelical Presbyterian Church, epitomized Kristin Nicole Zietz. Kris Zietz was a beloved classmate of many. She was a sophomore and would have turned sixteen on luly 30th. lt seems so unfair that much an outgoing, friendly, cheerful person, who had so much going for her, should suddenly lose her life. She was so young. She was surrounded by people who loved her, and they still do. Kristin had a very special talent in athlet- ics. She excelled in tennis, track, volley- ball, basketball, and soccer. Kris was greatly admired for her unequaled dedi- cation. Many still can't believe or accept the loss of this very special person who was dearly loved. She will be missed. ln memory of Kristin, the Bear Creek Invita- tional has been changed to the Kristin Nicole Zietz Memorial Run. All contribu- tions are being donated to the Kristin Ni- cole Zietz Athletic Fund. Memories .... l have so many memo- ries of growing up with her. She was a great friend and a terrific athlete. I used to 66 ln Memory try and beat her in races, but she always won. -Stephanie Davis .... Kris was a very special girl. She was very well-liked and she was a superb, dedicated ath- lete. -Mr. lim Orcutt .... She's still with usp we can feel her presence. -Mr. Kim Zietz. Gone But Not Forgotten The news had come, the news nobody wants to hear. A friend had died, no one knows why, but it just happened. Shock for a minute, tears for the next. Then it hit us. Kris was gone, she was actually gone. Who ever would have thought something like this could happen to someone who had a whole life of living to do? The tears will stop, but the pain will never leave. Why did she leave us all? What did she ever do to have this happen to her? Kristin Zietz was a good friend, she was a great friend. She will never be forgotten. -Amy Weathersby The first thing that all the teachers re- membered her by was her beautiful smile, commented Ms. Stevens of Car- mody lunior High. Denver Post Photo For The Sake Cf Progress Tuesday, l anuary 28, began as any nor- mal- routine day: Kids went to school, po- lice arrested criminals, congress spent tax- payer's money, the space shuttle was due to launch. Shuttles had already been in space over twenty times and fifteen more launches were scheduled for l986. With such frequency, the shuttle launches were taken for granted: They used to be new, and the danger-filled thrill of exploration used to be present. Because a shuttle was launched every couple months, the launches seemed routine and ordinary. The launches might have gotten passing mention on the evening news or a small article buried somewhere in the newspa- per. National magazines like lime and Newsweek didn't even notice something so common and unspectacular in their weekly publications. To the normal American, man was meant to be in space. Man could orbit the earth with the ease and complacency of driving to the mar- ket. The space shuttle was just another indication of man's technological intellect and prowess. The crew for this flight contained the first private citizen yet in space. Chrita McAuliffe was both a housewife and a school teacher and was chosen by a na- tional panel to represent the education of America in space. McAuliffe rode the shuttle with supreme confidence in the industry of man. With her presence, the space age reached into every classroom. Her presence showed that space travel, in the past confined to astronauts, was feasi- ble for the most common citizen. Man had finally conquered Nature and was now reaping the rewards. Man no longer had to grovel in the dirt of the firmament, but could wander the heavens at his will. Man had thus transcended his mortal existence and could converse with the gods in the expanse of space. Unknown to those seven who hurtled into space, this Tuesday was the fudge- ment Day of man's creations. This day, man's grasp of Nature would waver, and the tiny puff of smoke off the left booster would result in the fiery incineration of the seven space travellers. Nature had ex- ecuted her terrible verdict on the unwary, over confident, and unprepared. ln the huge fireball that lit the Florida sky, Na- ture reminded us of what newcomers we are. Only 84 years ago, approximately one lifetime, did Orville and Wilbur Wright fly for l2 seconds in a little field named Kitty Hawk. Only 32 years ago the first Sputnik sent faint radio signals from Earth's orbit. Nature now shows us that man's ideas have reached beyond his capability for action. Nature reminded us that she is not a pushover, and that man should seek hu- mility rather than celestial glory. Thank you, brave seven! Your fate has sealed our eventual victory. ln Memory 67 Laura Cameron Nikki Cantrell Cynthia Carr Nikki Catalano Valerie Cecil lames Chamberlin Dana Chick Michelle Christensen Teresa Churchman Michele Clanton Misty Coburn Chris Cody lanice Colaqrosso Heidi Cole Kelly Cole Greg Colson Debra Coomes Greg Coucharcl Charles Couchoud Samantha County Craig Courtney Shelley Cox Ed Crabb Ken Criley Sarena Cukr Scott Curtis Fiona Cuthill Kirk Dartler Darin Davis Missy Davis Brian Davison Michelle Day Kelly Dayton Kimberly Dean Mark Decker Shawn Delperdanq Stacey Dillow lohn Dilts Dean DiPaola Lenny Distel Lorie Distel Brian Doheny 68 Remember When?

Remember your first grade year when you had to ride the bus with all those big kids on it? Do you remember when Mom led you into class by the hand just to meet the teacher? And all the re- cesses playing on the swings, blacktop and the all-popular sandbox? Does pass- ing notes in the sixth and seventh grade sound familiar? lt's natural for seniors, as they reach the end of their education, to reminisce about the long years in school. Even events that happened five or ten years ago have molded the seniors into what they are to- day. For example, Kent Shelton ex- plained, lt was first grade and l was very young. In my homeroom class, there were perhaps thirty desks. All these desks were brown - all except one which was grey. This desk was mine and l loved it. lt was different, special and made me proud. One day the teacher tragically an- nounced that my desk was being taken away and would be replaced by a brown one. The words burned my ears. A custo- dian yanked my desk away and gave me a brown desk. l had been demoted. l was now one of the faceless numbered stu- dents in the Processing Plant of Educa- tion. My individuality had been stolen. This event changed the course of my life . . . forever. Dan Snyder, a frightened little boy at the time, remembered back to fourth grade when, Way back in the boonie days when I was less than young, l was bumped into by a fellow classmate. I did the natural thing and slugged this short, dumb and ignorant slob in the eye. As l was exiting the scene, the crowd behind me screamed, Let's get 'em! With this, I turned to see the entire playground chas- ing after me. Many seniors remember elementary school. An anonymous, embarrassed male senior recollected, During the sixth grade when l was at Westgate some of my classmates-who shall remain nameless- and l had a special tree. Every day during recess all of us would go down and visit this special tree of ours. At this tree, we held our own daily sex education class playing Dr. Ruth Westheimer's tl-low To Kiss! A person's lifestyle, values and behav- ior are shaped by past experiences. Hope- fully, your memories of your school days will remain pleasant. . fag -arf' .. .M Q ,.'t.- far? ,am .

This year a group of Bear Creek stu- dents had the opportunity to travel to Bos- ton as a part of a literary tour of New England. Students were privileged to see where some famous American writers lived and the surroundings that inspired them to write. The tour included stops in Boston to see the U.S.S. Constitution, one of the few remaining ships that helped America win its independence from England. Then on to Concord, where the Concord Bridge Smile and say, Yo Baby! was the spot where the Revolutionary War was started with The shot heard 'round the world. The final stop was in Province- town Mass., on the tip of Cape Cod where students were fortunate enough to see some species of whales, which may have also been an inspiration to Herman Mel- ville, who wrote Moby Dick. The trip lasted six days and was very exciting for everyone, especially those who had never seen the beautiful fall col- ors in New England. The colors around Boston were incredible, stated loelle Swanson.

Black Hills Do you remember the saying Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Well, at Bear Creek many things go bump. Now, students' cars can go bump during the day. Five new speed- bumps were added in the junior parking lot, plus one in the senior lot. Many stu- dents feel the speedbumps are unneces- sary. Shawn Delperdang claimed, l think they could have used the money for some- thing else, like filling the potholes or ex- tending the parking area. Mike Brock- way added, l don't think they serve a good purpose because they really don't slow anyone down. Also, they're really hard on your shocks. However, Mr. Houser feels speedbumps are necessary to prevent students from practicing for the Indy 500. The main problems with the speedbumps are the risks which endan- ger students' lives. Each day, at least one student suffers from either whiplash, tongue biting, or even scraping himself off the root of his car because of this men- ace, Kevin lones concluded, l'They aren't as fast as they say. f 72 Speed Bumps Twyla lohnson lenniler lohnston Billy lones Kevin lones Kim lones Lisa lorqensen Scott Kaosh Frank Karger Matthew Kay Michael Keller Kirk Kelsey Christine Kemmerzell Lonnie Kendall lulie Kerr Lisa Kidd Kellie Kineer Sean King Travis King Rachael Klein Greg Kletzly lenniter Knott lettrey Koehler Lisa Korn Steve Kramer leremy Krug Shawne Kullberq Laura Lackey Michelle Laqerstrom Connie Lamb Michael Lanq Sean Lank lamie Lantz lenniler Laraby Mike Lassek Raeanne Lauer left Launch Coleen Lawler Michelle Lee Michael Lemons Tanya Leon Ann Lewanclowski Danny Lewis luniors 73 Saundra Lewis Meredith Link Kenny Linke Libbie Lockmon Paul Lopez Anthony Lott Rene Lowe Matt Loyd Laura Lucas Steve Lumpkin letf Lundqren Chris Lustiq Kelly Lynch William Lynch Diane Macaluso Shawn MacGill Wendy Major Kim Marchitti David Margolis lulie Marshall David Martens Daqe Martinez Gabriel Martinez lqnacia Martinez Scott Matthews Audrey May Ginny May Kristy McNally lohn McCord Daniel McCormack Kent McCormick Cyndi McCune Michael McDaniel Scott McDowell Kimberly McKenry Russell McNeal Wayne Medina Corey Meehan Michael Meltord Brett Melton Amy Metzdort lulianne Mews 74 Excuses And Explanations K Cover-Ups As the bell for second period rings and class starts, the teacher methodically an- nounces, Please pass last night's home- work to the end of the row, A horrid sound is let out from someone in the room, as if to convey, I can't believe I forgot it. Everyone looks at the forgetful youth, as the teacher asks, Ulohnny, why don't you have your homework? After the question is poised, the excuse soon follows. Ex- cuses and explanations are an additive to the vocabulary of a student. Reasons as to why they were tardy, absent, or why they don't have a hall pass or the homework known about for weeks, are backups to a frightful situation. Trisha Bird revealed a good excuse as to why she didn't have her homework, I left it in the car of the girl I got a ride to school with. Other good excuses are giv- en when it comes to being tardy, I got a run in my hose, and l had to go home and change them, is an excuse used by ju- nior lean Walsh.

While walking into the waiting area, 'all that is seen by the visitor is hun- dreds of strange faces, until one or two are faintly recognizable from the picture he holds in his hand. Flying thousands of miles across the sea to live in a strange land can be very diffi- cult for a person. This is what a foreign exchange student encounters. When visit- ing another country, an exchange student must act as an ambassador for his and her country, just as the host family represents America. The studentfs main fear is of the people, wondering how quickly he or she will make friends and how kind and open the people really are. One girl claimed the friendships in America seem to be more casual. Senior Carolina Lilja of Swe- den claimed, Sometimes people think it would be fun to talk to an exchange stu- dent and they start talking but, then may- be the next time when you see them they may not say hellol She later said, Peo- ple here are especially friendly because l am an exchange student. lt is hard to leave home for so long and not be with family. Lara Weber of South Africa comments, l miss home a lot, but Carolina Lilja sawthis experience as a change. 'Why not?' Isaid to myself. 'If l can make this year good I can do everyth- ing by myself! Another foreign ex- change student really likes Colorado. Be- cause of the many organizations and clubs, they find it easier to get involved with school. Kelly Fedel, who also took part in a foreign exchange program in Norway commented, You have to have a really open mind when you go to a differ- ent country. You have to be ready to try everything!

Many teachers seem to think so, which is dem- onstrated by the constant emphasis on out-ot-class reading and overnight assign- ments. Homework is necessary, but a 700 page book assignment is overdoing it! commented lerry Stevens, walking out ot Mr. VonVihl's history class. Homework is just 'Time on Task', which is important in school and all areas of lite, stated Ms. Berger. Homework is beneficial, but when a student stays up until midnight doing homework, teachers have become unrealistic. Perhaps teach- ers don't realize the after-school activities a student is involved in. Homework that continually turns into busy work, becomes useless. Students often View it as a waste ot time and don't complete it. lt instructors could find a way to keep homework inter- esting, yet pertaining to the topic ot study, the problems ot homework overloads would be solved. The library is a homework salvation tor many stu- dents. loel Schneider Debra Scholomer lett Scott Sarah Scott Shawn Seaholm Todd Sells Shawna Serr lenny Sevier Michael Shea Kelly Shepard I David Sherman Kellie Shkapich Brian Shuyler Melody Sides Melissa Simmons lanelle Sjordal Lana Smaellie Robert Smiley 78 Homework Pressure Charles Smith Gretchen Smith Melody Snyder Brendan Sohr lenniter Solano Brenda Sotolonqo Chris Springer Niki Stambauqh Clinton Stanton Mike Stead Tim Stephens lerry Stevens David Stolpmann Heather Storer Rochelle Strasser Anne Streeter Kristen Styes lenniter Sunich Cindy Surber Shannon Sweeney David Taylor Heather Taylor Erika Tegeder Debra Templin Damon Thomas Mark Thomas Kerry Thompson Robert Tiedt Todd Till Kristy Timmons Lisa Tokle Nicole Tos Michelle Triplett left Tutto Lisa Turilli Rebecca Turner Bruce Upchurch Wendy Valentine Brett Vallance Paul Vallejos Phil Vallejos Curt Vanner luniors 79 Puma is what l believe in! conveyed lay Weinqardt.

Pink Floyd . . ACXDC .. Hawaii .. Alaska .. Harvard are only a few of the many different logos found on T-shirts seen throughout the school. The emblems displayed flash through the minds of students, reflecting the personality of others. Mickey Mouse on a shirt may tell others how Goofy a person really is. Rock groups, an ever popular badge worn by a large number of students, show who's hot and who's not. Although these types of Tees consume the majority of the school, one must not forget those people who have enough money to visit around the country, or whose grandparents from other places, buy the Teshirts. They last for what seems a lifetime, but sometimes the neighbor's dog or sister's cat uses them for its own personal use. Regardless of the condition of the shirts, they are comfortable, inexpensive, show others what's new in design, and can be worn falmost literallyl everywhere. 80 T-Shirts Allen Webb Todd Welchen Scott Weller Greg West Kim White Connie Wilcox David Wilder Brenda Wilking Robert Willey Greg Williams Tanya Wills Kim Winburn Meredith Winfield Chad Wolett Steve Wolf Lisa Womack Robert Wood Don Worthington Chris Wright Tammy Wright lana Yarbrough Stephanie Yearout Steve Yoder Cinnemon Young Courtney Young Lonny Young Valerie Zecher Nikolaus Zender David Zenisek lettrey Zietz I luniors Sl Sherri Abeyta Michael Ray Abromowich Daniel Adams I Tara Adams Shawn Allbritten Gregory Allen lackie Almeida Patrick Amick Dave Amori lessica Anderson Richard Anderson Matt Anderson Lynn Anzia Chais Archer Blake Arderson leanie Armiger Don Armstrong Lanie Arnold Black Sheep lust like the middle child of a family is deprived of certain privileges earned by the oldest as well as lacking the attention given to the youngest, sophomores find themselves not always knowing where they stand in the scheme of things. Soph- omores seem to have to work harder for recognition kind of like a middle child who wants attention from his parents, Geniene Vogel expressed. Sophomores are deprived of privileges such as driving to school, leaving campus, and unlimited freedom in choosing their classes. At the same time, they are no longer the center of attention by being the new class fresh- man. The sophomore year involves moti- vation and patience. This no longer cot' tled, but not quite liberated, class must wait it out.

According to the present school policy, no sophomores are to be driving to school at all. A reason for this is because no underclassmen should leave the campus, and having a car on school grounds would just tempt them to do so. I want to drive to school so l can go places at lunch. Even though we're not allowed to leave school, every- one does anyway, explained Nita Smith. Many sophomores seem to think that they should be allowed to drive to school. I feel that it we have a license, then we hould be able to drive. Also, it we're liesponsible enough to have a driver's li- cense, then we're responsible enough to drive to school, stated Lisa Crespin. Maybe an agreement can be made with the administration to let sophomores drive to school. Maybe we could compromise, et sophomores drive to school second se- ester. Then almost everyone will be sat- 'sfied, said Melissa Mcvay. A lot ot peo- le don't get cars until they are juniors, so it wouldn't really be over-crowded.

Paige Doub explained, lt's one of the most cre- ative art forms known to man. lt can be really humorous to read what other peo- ple write, Some conflicting opinions usually come from teachers. Mr. Roger Autrey empha- sized that writing on desks is destructive ot public property and very unsightly. lt is seldom tunny and sometimes naughty.

These strange sacks come in many different sizes and colors. The correct way to wear these accessories is with one ot the two straps on the bag flung over one shoulder, as it to say, l-ley l'm cool! But backpacks have another purpose other than getting on the nerves ot non- carriers in the hall. lunior Robin Beattie explained, 'll think it is only common sense to carry a backpack. It is impractical and inconvenient to others to stop at one's locker during every passing period to get books. Many people must feel the same way, tor as tar as the eye can see, there are backpacks. lt becomes a curiosity, though, as to what people carry in their 'lpacksf' Some packers carry all their hygiene equipment tor the day, such as brushes, make up, mirrors, etc. Gt course these are mostly contents ot a girl's backpack. Gther back- packs contain magazines and food to sneak into class. There are other more practical articles, however, that a pack holds. Notebooks needed tor classes in the same area, pens, pencils, the you know, basics, are what Brenda Kintz car- ries in her backpack. Even though carrying a backpack may be practical, there are those who don't see anything positive about them, Greg Schimpeler being one ot those Mantis packers, conveyed, 'll think they tback- packs? are really stupid. Halt ot them are too big and hit you in the head. Most ot them stink, too, because they havent been washed tor years. So when it comes down to it, who really really knows it backpacks are worth it? Stome students teel they need the back- pack to organize their class materials and save time. However, others think they are a big pain in the back! .J Christine Klazura left Koop Scott Kopp left Krakow Bradley Krehbiel Tiffany Krueger Kelli Kusich Richard Lacrue Lisa Laintz Tina Lanqlois Krista Lawrence Noelle Leblanc lanice Lee Brett Leininqer Tim Lenzen Kristina Lewis Kelly Liedtke Paul Lindquist Robert Lindsay Mark Lindsmier lohn Lockmon Robert Lonqmire Russ Lopez Camille Loui Dawn Loveland Peter Lowenstein Angela Loyd Sandra Lubotsky Denise Lucero Angela Ludka Michael Ludwig Michelle Luttrell Kami Maqqard Scott Major Shawn Manning Dawn Marillo Alison Marrs Greg Marshall Ernie Martinez Lucha Martinez Pamela Martinez Leslie Martinez Sophomores 91 Class Chance lt's definitely a new experience, com- mented Mike Faulkner, one ot the tew sophomores on a varsity team. Going from playing with your own class, to play- ing with athletes one, two or sometimes even three years older than you is hard. Sophomores who get the experience of participating in a varsity sport can contri- bute to the team in tuture years because they have played under pressure in a game situation. Coach Kintz feels that sophomores on a varsity team are a good idea, it they have the ability. ln individual sports, such as tennis and swimming, sophomores are great, but it gets more difficult in football and soccer. lt's important to keep the classes together. Sophomores can be a great asset to a team, whether it be on the sophomore or varsity level.

Another program Bear Creek has is the SLIC program, which works in class sizes up to 15 students who are intellectually limited. These are classes that tocus on math, language arts, vocations and aid work study training where students are placed in job situations as part ot their schooling. The teacher works hard on try- ing to help students be responsible citi- zens, have satistying human relationsips, and become economically etticient.

Face Lift August marked not only the beginning of a new school year, but also the start of two major changes in the roads passing near the school. The plan: CID extend Dart- mouth through Kipling and join it to new Kipling, and C21 dead-end Kipling in front of the school. The construction at the Kipling-Dart mouth intersection caused problems for students and construction workers alike. 'lThe work being done made me late for work on several occasions, remarked Andy McNabb. Several students caused difficulties by not obeying the crossing guards, and in one instance, a student driver knocked a stop! slow sign out of a worker's hand. The second part of the plan was to end Kipling in front of the school. Mr. ferry leffrey, a school administrator, stated, The work done at the Kipling-Dartmouth intersection was necessary to improve the traffic coming into the school, which would otherwise be hindered by the close of Kipling. Mashele Bachus concluded, The actu- al construction was hard to take, but the final work is a great improvement. The main benefit provided by the ending of Kipling was a new gravel parking lot for students. feff Utz Chris Vaclav Kimberely Valles Karen Vandyke Dannielle Vannice Danielle Vanl2'iper lohn Varoz Ty Vasey Mike Verry Wendy Vestal lennene Vogel Pam Vogtman Dara Wadsworth Kristina Wagner Corey Wagner ' Kelley Wagner lenniter Walczak I Craig Walker Sophomores 97 Brian Walker Teresa Walter Richard Walters lason Ward Michele Warn Michelle Warn lennifer Wasley Wendy Watson Amy Weathersby Lara Weber Brian Weddle Leah Weiker Michelle Weimer Russell Weltare Brenda Welsh lohn Wert David Whatley Shandee Whetstine Ronny Whiting lohn Willener lim Willener Mike Williams Scott Williams Tracy Wills Natalie Winburn LeeAnn Wilson Kara Witte Scott Wittlake Liz Wolt Kristina Wolfe Dan Wood lason Wyatt Brian Wylie Robert Wylie Eric Yager Vicki Ynostroza 98 Soap Operas Melanie Young Ron Young Thomas Zezulka Kristina Zietz Robert Zsidisin Afternoon Showers I worcler what will happen on Mon- day? is a popular phrase that is repeated by many soap viewers. Soap Operas are a big part of life for numerous high school students, most of them females. This televi- sion craze is a revolving factor of those mysterious discussions between friends. The bell for last hour rings, and the rush to get home begins. For some, this means making it home in time to watch their fa- vorite soap. l want to watch and find out what's going to happen the next day, said Laura Grundy. One day leads to a next and soon the entire lives of soap opera addicts are revolved around these soaps. Courtney Young rearranges her schedule so she will be able to watch her soaps. Chris Lustig said, Because the characters live in such a fantasy world, they're so interesting to watch. Are these soaps interfering with stu- dents' lives at school? A lot of students are more interested in soap operas then school work. Spanish teacher, Mrs. Vits said, As long as the students are speak- ing about the soaps in Spanish, l don't mind the classroom discussions too much. However, l don't want them to disrupt their learning. Soap operas will always be popular be- cause they are a way for people to shed their ordinary routine lives and escape to a fantasy world. Real men don't watch soap operas. Class time often turns into a discussion of the latest plot changes. Soap operas are a way of life , stated Lisa Harrington.

Core methods Otter students a variety ot educa- tion by combining both Social Studies and English. Core classes have been a part ot the Bear Creek curriculum tor more than eight years. Both students and staff appreciate the structure ot Core classes. I think it's won- dertul and benefits the students in provid- ing a well-rounded background ot Eng- lish and Social Studies, commented Eng- lish Core teacher, Mrs. Patricia Snyder. Mrs. Mary Dunn, a Social Studies Core teacher, added, lt's a rich way to learn. I hope we keep it at Bear Creek tor a long time. Most teachers agree Core is an advan- tage to both students and teachers. Through the combining ot skills in one class and sharing the interaction between both teachers' teaching methods, students receive a worthwhile education. Disad- vantages are hard to find, but core teach- ers agree that maintaining class interest and attention in a large group is a prob- lem. Most Core students tind the class a challenge: lt's really embarrassing when you have to get up in front ot both classes and give a speech, but it helps you not to be shy and you can see each other's per- sonalites up there, commented Barb Up- church. Core offers a variety ot learning activi- ties to both students and teachers.

Many freshmen have mixed feelings-about up perclassmen. When freshmen started the new school season 'they were a little 'un easy about what the upperclassmen were going to think of them. Now that the fresh men have approached the end of the school year they have realized that most upperclassmen aren t all that bad. Howev er some ninth graders have some nega tive thoughts towards upperclassmen One ninth grader replied They try to rule over us because they are bigger than we are Another freshman commented Some upperclassmen ought to learn that they aren t as great as they think All in all upperclassmen are helpful and con siderate and a lot of freshmen look up to them lanine Muller said You cant iudge the upperclassmen in one group It really just depends on the person Even though there are different age levels in the school most students get along great and work well to give the school spirit and unity Look: A clan of cool creek cubs pose for a photo Angie lackson Kelly lackson Heather lacobson Sheldon larnes Ria lamrock Marie laurique Mario laurique Sharee lensen Keith lensen Russ lohnson Lesly lohnson Nicole lones Karly lones Cheri lornod Angie loseph Nola lustis Dianna Kendall Rachel Kennedy Rob Kennedy Wendy Kilburn Erin Kisicki lenniter Kjar Rhonda Klein Karen Knott Matt Kolz Scott Korn Karma Krause Kelly Krause Mike Krott Todd Kummet Kitty Kurtz Steve Lanq Val Landrum Karrie Lamb Angela Lancaster Steve Lang Michelle Lanstord lohn Lee Melody Leirnbach Steve Linstrorn Kelly Lipsie Deven List April Loe Leanne Lopez VCarey Lowe Grant Lowe Kathy Lubotsky Bill Lucas Tiffany Ludwig Aaron Lujan Ryan Lynch Kristin MacDonald eri Freshmen lO5 Any Maquire Rory Marez Duke Martin Max Martinez Mike Martinez Deneen Martinez Sean Maslow Clint Matthews Tony Mauro Amy Maxwell Tom May April Mayes Criaq McAnally Scott McCabe Wendy McCarty David McCrumb Rhonda McDonald Kay McDougal Brett McDowell Linda McKellip Mike McNierney Mara Meinen Mike Melton Summer Meredith Kimberly Merkel Lisa Metzler l. l.

Academic standards have left some students unprepared for college and further education. Therefore, there has been a major emphasis concern- ing the graduation requirements of the class ot eighty-nine. The main changes in these expectations have resulted in the addition of one credit in the fields ot math and science. The total credits required to graduate have been increased trom twen- ty to twenty-two. This credit increase has made a basic impact on the freshmerfs study habits as well. Freshmen are facing this change with a mature outlook and determination. I am accepting the chal- lenge with a positive attitude, remarked Matt Kolz. The twenty-two credit require- ment will also hold tor next year's fresh- men. Hopefully, this increase in gradu- ation requirements will saiisfy the need for a quality education.

It would make communication between countries much easier. But . . . since there is no universal language, many students in school learn some of the different languages. The languages taught are Spanish, French, Russian and Ger- man. Mr. Charney, a Spanish teacher, stated, l think that the importance of learning a foreign language is that many people learn about their own language. l also feel that the U.S. is behind the rest of the world as far as being able to communi- cate with other countries. Learning a foreign language is a key to the future. Spanish student, Rachelle Lee said, Taking a foreign language is fun, and it enlightens and broadens my views of the world and the different cultures. First year French student, Melanie Young also stated, Taking a foreign language is a very educational experience although it is very frustrating at times. Mrs. Vits feels that a foreign language is important because the more each per- son knows about other cultures, the better others can communicate with them and there will be less conflict and misunder- standing between people of the world. Ms. Lawrence, who teaches French, also feels that a foreign language is necessary for a business because the countries sell products to each one and no one can do that effectively without knowing another culture and its language. Taking a foreign language is important because, in the future, everyone needs to understand each other since the people of the world are neighbors. Mr. Herrman shares his knowledge of the German language with a class of students. 114 Foreign Language I have an excellent Foreign Language teacher every year no matter what language l am studying, replied Mike Huston. - f4Qi5,x tfiliti su, El Club De Espanol What IS a club? ls 1t a sandw1ch'9 ls 1t a softdr1nk'?

Can economics be explained in a simple way so students can understand supply and demand? Do the Bushmen of Africa really dance around open fires chanting their music ? The Social Studies program offers courses in American Government, An- cient Civilizations, Basic Economics, Fron- tier America, a new class called Anthro- pology, as well as many other classes. The freshmen are required to take courses in American Government, which includes learning about the leglislative process. This class prepares students for future un- derstanding of the government. Fresh- men had the opportunity to visit Washing- ton D.C. where they learned more about the government through the places of his- tory they visited. The sophomores take American Histo- ry, which concerns Colonial America, the Frontier, the Civil War, and more about foriegn relations with other countries. Sophomore lay Smith claimed, The best part of American History was learning about the mistakes of our country, such as the Civil War, so we can change the out- come ot other possible future mistakes. These classes are followed by Western Civilizations, or Area Studies, in the junior year. Students learn about World History, including Ancient Egypt, Rome, Africa, China, and numerous other cultures. They also learn about U.S. relations with Russia, Asia, and Europe throughout his- tory. Seniors are allowed to take Sociology, where they learn about the many conflicts concerning the U.S. Mr. McLaren stated, We learn about poverty, crime, and ado- lescent problems in America, and I really learn a lot about the students. They are a good bunch of kids and the class is kinda fun. Mr. Autrey fascinates his American History class with tales ot mountain men.

Each student in one of the art classes has a different, special talent. This creativ- ity must be realized and allowed to devel- op. There are many different areas of art, such as Drawing, Printmaking, Ceramics, Fibers, Photography and Painting. Paint- ing is a lot of fun and very relaxing to me,' remarked senior Ann Able. ln Painting, students are first taught dif- ferent techniques, such as spattering and dry brush. Then as students become more comfortable with the different techniques, they paint more complicated pictures with acrylic paints. 'Some start out wanting to be artists, but soon find out it takes a lot of hard work to be good, said senior Stephanie Schultheis. Art classes can be fun, but for those who are serious, they require a great deal of hard work. 1 lohn l ordan works on what he hopes will be an artful masterpiece.

Hard Roles And Sweet Roles The audience goes crazy and the ap- plause is thunderous. The actor bows and leaves the stage only to come back to a standing ovation . . . Acting classes are an exciting way to learn the techniques of communicating through expressions of feelings both ver- bally and non-verbally. These communi- cation technigues can help students ex- press themselves more effectively on stage as well as off. Learning these skills will also help in future life. Scott Caddell remarked, I like acting because it gives me a chance to relate to people through emotion and feeling and communicating in a language that all can understand. Drama classes also teach students role playing. Students learn how to create roles and images along with the process of creating theater. Role-playing helps the students experience other people's prob- lems and how to deal with those problems, l like acting because it gives me the chance of playing different roles, men- tioned Dave lones. The skills that drama students learn will help them greatly when dealing with reali- ty. Having a background in theater will also be beneficial in career areas working with people.

At first glance these math- ematical formulas seem irrelevant to a stu- dent's daily life. However, Mrs. Walker, a math teacher, feels,'xThere is mathematics in every aspect of the world around us. The unfortunate thing is that most people do not understand the mathematics in- volved. The role of mathematics in ever- yday life is something that most people fail to realize. For instance, math is involved in the construction of buildings, the han- dling of money and math is also helpful in figuring out how badly your checks have bounced this month. Mrs. Walker stated, lf a student is to have maximum control over the options available to him in the future, he needs to study Knot just takei mathematics. The foundation built in first year Algebra can determine what professions can even be considered. lunior, lamie Chamberlin replied, lf you do not get a good foundation in Alge- bra one, you will be lost in Algebra two and have to go back and learn it again. Though the benefits of high school math may not seem obvious, as the years pass and a persons career is established, mathematical skills will greatly aid in that person's livelihood. l22 Mathematics imm Mr. Del-lerrera gives individual an tention to Gene Brownlee, which helps speed up the learning pro- cess in Algebra l.

This year All Stars organized three main activities. First, they have prepared a forty-five minute assembly to perform for other schools, which discusses the purpose of All Stars by emphasizing the degree of seriousness involved in the abuse of alco- hol and drugs. All Stars encourage stu- dents to overcome peer pressure and to set personal goals to live a clean life. Because the assemblies have proved suc- cessful, they are in great demand. Another program the All Stars devel- oped is designed for students new to the school. The All Star participants start by showing new students around the school and eating lunch with them every Friday. The All Stars organization also plays an important role in the coordination of After Prom parties. Mr. Burdick, the sponsor of the All Stars organization, feels that the members of this club are very good peo- ple. They get no glory, no awards, just the satisfaction of helping a fellow class- mate who is in need, Mr. Burdick com- mented. Academics 123 Teenage Authors Everything that we do in the yearbook class is considered and examined thor- oughly and then when we feel that some- thing will benefit the look and content of the publication then we do it, stated staff member David Anderson. How many classes today are set up and directed by a group of students? Year- book is one of those few classes that is set up to encourage the development of lead- ership abilities. I-low many students are trusted with many thousands of dollars in a class? Many responsibilities entrusted to the yearbook staff are odd and very diffi- cult but they give the students an idea of what the real business world is like. For the staff members, producing the yearbook can be a thankless task at times. The staff puts a huge amount of hard work and school spirit into this publica- tion, remarked David Anderson. Our staff receives little recognition, and often what we get is negative! Many people think yearbook is a goof-off class, but as Tonya Buchan said, 'llt's hard work meet- ing deadlines and organizing the book, but eventually everything gets done and we have fun doing it. Finally in May, the yearbook staff re- ceives the product of their many months of hard work. David Anderson stated, When we get the yearbook in May, we feel so proud and happy with our efforts. We hope that everyone likes the book and realizes that we gave it our best shot. Hopefully, students will be able to look back in twenty years and smile. 124 lournalism lf you see a flash in the halls and then someone running away, you'll know it's Gavin Simmons tak ing candid pictures for the yearbook.

The Bear Facts will go out the next day. l'm on the newspaper staff because I like to express myself in things that every- one will read, stated news editor Kara Witte. The newspaper provides a good outlet for the creative expression of its staff members, who, for the most part, love to write. To be on the staff of the Bear Facts, students must obviously have writing abili- ty, but there are several other traits which they should possess. Dedication and de- termination are paramount, for without these, staff members would have trouble coping with the deadlines, long hours, and late nights. Also important are intelli- gence, patience, and a sense of humor. Students on the Bear Facts staff take pride in the paper, and enjoy a sense of being on top of the current events of the school. As editor-in-chief Susan Downs commented, I'm doing the newspaper this year because everyone knows that be- ing on staff is where all the action is. Bear Creek students should also be proud that the school is represented by such a fine newspaper. Cheri lornod prepares her story to submit for an upcoming deadline.

Some of these different types of bands are contra- bands, band aids, wrist bands, bandan- nas, and rubber bands. The school Marching Band is one of the more shining examples of these many types of bands that exist. This ye-ar's Marching Band has over- come many of its past obstacles and has become a band of pride and excellence, stated Paul Taylor, president of the band. Through its hard work and diligent prac- tice, the Marching Band has received a total of seven awards and honors. The most prominent of these awards are first place trophies won in the CSU Band Day and Englewood Parade competitions. An- other trophy was also taken for the best overall band in the Englewood Parade. Due to its overwhelming success, the Bear Creek Marching Band has been asked to perform in the Portland Rose Fes- tival. It is one out of only seven bands in the United States to be selected for the parade! Many band members feel that all the hard work and long, frustrating re- hearsals have paid off. The Portland trip is an awesome reward for my four years of hard work and dedication, replied Mike Lawrence. lt is obvious that Mr. McEwen and the Marching Band strive with all their might to be one of the best. They prove that the band's motto is true: Pride Runs Deep! Academics 127 Playing with pride is esseniial for sucf I cess in the BC, band, Commented George Abbott.

Academics 129 Pawns in the game of life On any given Tuesday afternoon, a small number of students gather around a chessboard in hopes of outwitting an opponent. The Chess Club is a group filled with highly intellectual students who enjoy play- ing a mind-boggling game. Mr. Herrman, the sponsor of the club, stated the purpose of Chess Club is to field a team for tournaments, promote chess and give any stu- dents who want a chance to play. Chess club consists of approximate- ly twelve students, but only a few meet together at a time. Senior Anthony Leslie commented, the at- mosphere at a Chess Club meet is one of a relaxed and pleasant atti- tude. We attend the meetings when we wish, so we are able to play, ex- change strategies, and compare ideas with few distractions. Mr. I-lerrman, who has been in a Chess Club for twenty-two years, really en- joys promoting the game. He con- cluded, Chess gives you a chance to have fun, be creative, and work hard. 130 Vocal Music From All-County to All-State Looking for a large class that is active in a variety of activities? Well, Chorale may be that class. With almost a hundred mem- bers, Chorale is the largest vocal music group and the second largest class at Bear Creek. As for activities, Chorale is in con- stant preparation for its many perfor- mances. ln the late fall, Chorale hosted All- County, a festival in which choirs from Bear Creek, Green Mountain, and Col- umbine participated. Each choir perfor- maned individually and then united with the other choirs to become a mass choir. This was my first time in All-Coun- ty, and l was awed at the magnitude of the three choirs, stated Shelley Cox. Over three hundred voices joined in the mass choir, directed by the three teachers from each school. The choir not only amazed the audience, but the members them- selves. The songs Chorale performed with the other choirs were a once in a lifetime experience, commented Lisa lorgensen. Chorale and the other Bear Creek choirs consist of many talented indivi- duals. Several of these members audi- tioned for the Colorado All-State Choir, competing against more than l5OO stu- dents from around the state. Out of the two hundred selected for the choir, twelve were chosen from Bear Creek. This is the largest number of Bear Creek students to be selected for the All-State choir, added Mr. Weiker. Chorale's many members take pride in their school and enjoy sharing their talents and school spirit to the rest of the world. Sounds like fun l enjoy being in Sounds because we have developed special and lasting friendships, commented Susan Sanders. The warm and friendly relationships be- tween Sounds members can be felt by the many audiences they entertain. Sounds, the most demanding and active vocal group at Bear Creek, relies on close friendships to stay in harmony throughout its busy schedule. Sounds members enjoy their friendships and the thrill of perform' ing in front of dozens of live audiences. The responsibility involved with Sounds gives the excitement of performing, friends that become family, and so much more, related Linda Warntjes. As most people might think, Sounds is a lot of fun but as most people do not know, it is also a lot of hard work, replied Traci Farguson. Chorale had the opportunity to produce a Christmas musical. Singer Linda Warntjes commented, Learn- ing Christmas music adds to the joyous holiday. Academics 131 United we stand Some classes and clubs lack the bond of kinship, leaving many students unin- volved, ignored, and alone. Shades is an all-female choir that is based on unity ot spirit. With unity as a firm foundation, Shades helps young women to mature as individuals, feel secure about singing in public, and learn how to relate to others. l'm in Shades because I enjoy singing with other girls. Our rehearsals and per' tormances give us a feeling ot unity and accomplishment, related lulie Mews. Although Shades thrives on unity, it de- pends on individual dedication. Many tac- ets of Shades are otten difficult and de- manding, but are worthwhile in the end. Shades gives you a challenge and re- ward in achieving your goals, replied Michelle Lee. Shades is an experience that not only teaches music, but helps young women discover bonds of unity among them- selves and others. 132 Vocal Music An easy class? Many students sign up for Mixed Choir because they think it is a simple class in which they can receive an easy A . To their surprise, these students discover that they have registered into a very challeng- ing class that takes strong commitment to make the grade. l thought Mixed Choir was going to be an easy class, but l found out that it takes a lot of work, stated Es- ther Barnett. Mixed Choir not only helps one to grow academically, but as an individual. The commitment and responsibility of belong- ing to a choir helps to strengthen personal involvement. Choir depends on group involvement, along with self-initiative, commented Margie Hamilton. lndividual and group achievements could not be acquired without the guid- ance of a very special teacher and direc- tor. Shareese Premer remarked that, Mr. Weiker has helped us to reach our goals by his many talents and years of exper- iencef' l Mixed Choir is a very challenging class that should be in the curriculum of a stu- dent looking for excitement, not an easy A., Shades is more than a class of friends, stated Becci Noren.

Ever won- dered why anyone would teach English? Mr. Stough became a teacher based on his inter- est in literature. The purpose ot English is to teach a person to love to read and write, and it it doesn't, then it has tailed in the purpose, he explained. Ot all the required classes in high school, English is among the most relevant through- out the course of lite. Above all, English in- volves the ability to communicate, which is the basis of interpersonal relationships. Could you imagine a world without words? Mr. Houser expressed. ln order to accomplish personal goals today, an individ- ual must be able to properly express himself both orally and in writing. Two things hap- pen in a classroom, learning and teaching. Sometimes one happens without the other, but the ideal situation is to have both. When this occurs, We can educate anyone, Mr. Houser indicated. 134 English Students listen to Mr. Buckingham's words of wisdom. sign! 1... 5 W' 2 in Mr. I-louser has the attention ot his class as he talks about the fine arts of English.

Society claims that Home Ec. is a class for girls or that it is a class tor homemakers. Recently the county has tried to change this sexist im- age. Although there are usually more te- males than males in these classes, the ratio is slowly becoming more equal. Home Ec. teaches many skills that are vital to every- day lite as a grownup. Understanding child abuse, divorce, stress, tinancial aid, and proper nutrition is a skill that students learn in Home Economics classes. Most Home Ec. students tind out that the things learned in this class are just as important as the skills learned in a math or science class. These classes are timely and relevant to the needs ot young people today. They teach concepts and skills which everyone can utilize to enhance their lite, re- marked Teen Living teacher Mrs. Kahler. Most classes provide hands on exper- iences which allow students to practice learning. Students can often see an imme- diate application tor the skills gained, stated Mrs. Kahler. Home EC. classes are very popular among the young genera- tion and help students learn about them- selves and relating to other people. l'm proud to be in Home EC.

Many students tind that the skills learned in Business classes have many applications in the real business world. As one walks down the hall during class they can hear the synchronization of 45 well tuned typewriters hard at work. no xx QS Big business and big bucks Business classes are enjoyable and in- formative. The business teachers present the material in a challenging way for all students participating. The information taught gives students valuable knowledge in their future business careers. Business classes teach skills in careers such as man- agement and secretarial work. Mrs. Fritzler, in her eighth year at Bear Creek, describes the advantages a student may gain from business courses: Students tak- ing business classes can gain knowledge that can be used for a career or to prepare them for college. In essence, business is very practical, you use it every day. ' Some students may need different kinds of business skills than others, which is why the business area has many differ- ent courses available. Business is taught in such a way that expands all horizons and may answer some of the questions students may ask about their future. I feel that business classes are very important. Not only do they prepare you for future occupations, but they are fun too, exclaimed lenny Taunton.

Double the size Double the honor During the past two years, National Honor Society has doubled in size and become an active and integral part of Bear Creek High School, commented faculty sponsor Carol Thomas. 'll have been excited to be a part of this process. As well as sponsoring a dance and a tutorial program, NHS performs commu- nity services, such as painting houses for the elderly. Students in NHS are chosen by a faculty committee and must have leadership abilities in addition to a 3.6 grade point average. Said member Mike Lassek, I'm proud to be in NHS because it is so selective and tough to get into. Beginning this year, no sophomores are being asked to join the Bear Creek chap- ter, which numbers about one hundred students. Bear Creek officers are presi- dent Tony Lorenz, vice president Bill Horrison, secretary Ann Able and treasur- er Susan Downs. The students selected for National Hon- or Society are privileged few.

Drafting allows students to express their ideas in ways other than writing. While much time in Industrial Arts classes is devoted to working on projects, students are also expected to take tests on the skills they have learned. Q,-.---as MM 1 The tools of life ln Auto Mechanics class students learn basic car care and maintenance skills. Some students get auto mechanics jobs during high school and after high school some students go on to Technical School for more training in the automotive field, stated teacher Mr. Ruthven. Auto mechanics is a course designed to provide a basic background knowledge and understanding relating to cars, main- tenance, and minor adjustments made on the automobile. All automotive systems that make up the automobile are covered. Emphasis is placed on practical applica- tions as well as theory and safety. Drafting provides contact with the fun- damentals, concepts, and operations in technical drafting. The class is designed to give the students a background and gen- eral knowledge of drafting. Technical drafting develops an ability to express ideas and thoughts by the use of drafting. Students are also encouraged to interpret or read these drawings through mental visualization. The Metals course centers around welding and benchmetal. Also included are shop safety, shop procedure, identifi- cation, use of metal-working hand tools, and other equipment necessary to work with metals. Rquired work includes weld- ing exercises and exploration through projects in the areas of bench metal. The student will also learn the processes re- quired to effect the desired physical changes in metal, the development of de- sirable skills, knowledge, understanding and behavior patterns related to work with metals. Woodworking briefly reviews basic hand tool processes, introduces the stu- dents to power machine tools, and gives them some basic techniques for simple finishes related to wood. Students apply skills learned by building one or more usable projects. Academics 143 Mad Scientists The classroom is filled with students, or- ganized in pairs. There are microscopes, test tubes, beakers, sinks, and other var- ious types of lab equipment. As one lab partner stands up to gather the necessary equipment, the other begins to set up a data table for the next experiment. This scene describes only one of many science rooms. These rooms are filled dai- ly with students studying a number of sub- jects, such as Earth Science, Biology I and ll, Chemistry and AP Chemistry, and Physics I and ll. Earth Science is a really cool class. I learned a lot and still liked it, stated Dara Wadsworth. Earth Science is an enjoyable class that teaches students about their en- vironment and how it affects them. The four main topics covered in this course are geology, weather, astronomy, and earth history. Biology studies the world of living things. It is a series of laboratory investiga- tions, class lectures, and discussions. Many students really seem to enjoy this subject. Erin Bradley commented, This is an amusing classg people have fun. Although Chemistry can be difficult, the experiments are often fascinating and helpful to one's future. It's a really enjoy- able class. Few people can trace the appli- cation of chemistry to everyday life, but in reality it plays an important role, even in things like rock concerts, remarked Da- vid Sherman. Physics is a logical process that in- volves a lot of math. There are also a lot of labs involved like building mousetrap cars, which are later used as a preparation for everyday life circumstances, explains leff Zietz on Physics class. I feel Science is very important for everyone's future. It helps people with staying healthy and building new careers, concluded Natalie Winburn. 144 Science Mr. Kay lectures to one of his many Chemistr classes on the importance of electron configuration: ,W 1 Kevin Hase conducts an A.P.

Selling An Idea HDECA is a club tor those students in- terested in marketing, sales, or manage- ment, stated Mr. Stewart, the club spon- sor. The students of DECA competed in the state districts in a wide range ot com- petitions. The events included, advertis- ing, finance and credit, and restraraunt management plus many more. Greg Col- son claimed, l think DECA will inrich my business backround and ideas. Through- out the year DECA has sponsored many projects. A main event was the Bowl-a - Thon for Muscular Distrophy in De- cember. DECA teaches students market- ing, how to sell a product and how to get a good deal on merchandise. It is a very good experience for the future.

Student body presi- dent, Lynnette Brenner, presided over the senate, which consisted of 32 students who divided into many groups. These groups, better known as classes and committees worked on various activities throughout the year. Classes, which are labeled as Freshman, Sopho- more, lunior, and Senior, are made up ot seven students elected by their class members. These classes have projects on which they work tor a semester, year, or even longer. The Freshmen, tor example, work toward finish- ing their class mural, and the luniors towards prom. As well as long term projects the classes put ot spirit on dances, and other social activities, visit nursing homes, hospitals, and work with the community. Committees in Senate work tor the whole school, not just tor the specitic class. Some activi- ties the committees undertake are Santa Grams, Homecoming dance, parade, assembly, Salvation Army Drive, all school movies and other events. Though Senate may sound like all fun, it really isn't. We really work hard and sometimes things don't come ott as planned. Then the whole school gets down on us, which gives us a bad reputation, but most ot the time it is really enjoyable, stated Kendall Flinn. Student Senate is a chance to exercise one's leadership abilities, and put ideas to work. Senate can work tor you it you work tor it. Student Senate gives students a chance to exercise their leadership abilities, and use their ideas to help the school, stated Kendall Flinn. Shawn Monahan converses with sponsor, Mr. Bur- dick, over a current Senate matter.

All tor one day in lune The Senior class of 1986 anxiously waits tor that enormously important day in May. May 31, 1986 signifies the graduation date ot the senior class. The Graduation Com- mittee ot 1986 realizes the importance ot graduation to seniors and tries to make this very important time even more spe- cial. Committee members Toelle Swanson, Sarah House, Terry Breheny, Kathy Wil- liams, Denise Palmer, Shelly Wittlake, and Lisa Anderson are all big parts of the suc- cess achieved at graduation. The main tunction the committee serves is to make suggestions regarding graduation. Each member ot the committee is assigned spe- citic tasks outside ot the regular meetings which are scheduled about once a week until graduation. The Graduation Committee is a place where we can meet and openly discuss our ideas and see them turn into some- thing the whole class ot '86 can enjoy, replied Shelly Wittlake.

These are just a few aspects in the game of volleyball. The girls ended their season with an 8-6 re- cord, coming within one game of going to state. This record may not seem to show a successful season, but the team ended up proving what they were really made of. This season was very special to me, most- ly because it was my senior year. Volley- ball helped me make my year more fulfill- ing, remarked senior player Danette Rausch. I made some close friends that l might not have made if l hadn't gone out. Our season was very rewarding, in the sense that we were able to represent Bear Creek throughout the season, sub-dis- tricts, and districts. Senior lulie Theander also commented on why she enjoyed being on the team: During my four years of volleyball, l made many new and special friends. My senior year was by far the best because we as a team became one of three teams to ever take a game from the state champi- ons, Evergreen. This year we accom- plished many of our goals, like beating the top five teams in state last year in dis- tricts. The lunior Varsity and sophomore teams also proved to be teams of great quality, and with a little more practice and work they will turn out to be some of the best teams in the upcoming years.

For the love of the game The sun sat high in the sky, radiating a dry heat to the concrete of the tennis court. Two players stand opposite of each other, ready to play the final point of a match. One of the participants throws a bright green ball up and brings his racket through the air, meeting the ball with a hard swing and tollow-through. The ball whistles over the net and hits neatly in the corner of the court, bouncing out ot reach of the receiving player - an ace serve to make game, set, and match! , The boys tennis team finished eighth in the league with a 5-6 season record. lohn Helmerich gave one reason tor the less than average record: With such a young team we did not accomplish much this year, but with a team like ours, I think we'll accomplish a lot in the next couple of years, Losing confidence can be a problem, stated Todd Bresnick. 'tWe could have played in matches like we sometimes played in practices. Outlooks appear bright for the upcom- ing year on the boys' tennis team. 'QWe will do much better next year because of the youth on the team. We'll mature through the off-season, concluded lohn Helmerich. So, as the tennis players exit the court, and the balls and rackets are put away, all await anxiously for the next match to beat their opponents, and deliver the perfect backhands, serves, and lobs.

A five minute overtime period began. Nothing happened until 4: 16 mark when a lone Doherty forward broke away from the Bears' defense and scored past the outstretched hands of goalie Mike Huston. As the ball slid into the net, the dreams of a State Soccer Championship had just vanished into the cheers of Doherty fans. After outshooting their opponent 23-6, the Bears were stunned. lt was a real disap- pointing loss since we had dominated the whole game. Sometimes in soccer the best team doesn't always win, replied Kevin Walker. The 1985 season was anything but a disap- pointment, though. Both the Varsity and Tu' nior Varsity team posted excellent records and statistics, and boosted the soccer pro- gram. The Varsity Bears entered the State Championship game with an undefeated re- cord after taking first in their league. By ad- vancing to the final game, they did better than any Iefferson County team ever in boys' soccer. This was the best team that l've been on and perhaps the best in the history of the school, remarked Chris Stofac. The Varsity team was led by the power and experience of twelve lettering seniors, who provided the vital backbone of this hardhitting team. This team had the confi- dence and determination to go all the way to the State Playoffs. The seniors on the team were outstanding and gave us the leadership to do so well, stated Coach Tracy Fifer. The lunior Varsity team echoed the perfor- mance ot the Varsity. They went undefeated throughout the season and had the best re- cord in the county. This was the second year in a row that the T.V. had captured the league title. We really practiced and played hard this year. We had an excellent coaching staff and fantastic support from everyone in the school, replied Cory Ryckman. lt's amazing that the l.V. and Varsity only shared one single loss between us all season. Even though that one loss was a big one, we still demolished many very good soccer teams. The state of Colorado will hear from Bear Creek soccer again, stated Mike Hus- ton. Fairview.

However, in many of the girls' minds they are state champions. Sensational is the only way to describe the lunior Varisty season.

The Varsity had an undefeated dual season and captured the district and league titles. l feel the depth of the team, which came from the sophomores was a contributing factor to our success. Also the leadership and excellence of the returning lettermen led us to victory, commented coach Se- bald. We did our best and that is what really counts, added Tammy Blair.

Our practices are easy to describe. First, you run until you pass out. Then, Orcutt kicks you around until you come back to life, Stated leff Tufto. The team felt this was one of their better years. The major reason for our success was the good feelings of the athletes. When they're in good shape, they feel good, commented Coach Orcutt.

Qld Values And New ldeas The 1985 football season was one of many firsts. For one, it was the first season the program was under the coaching of Mr. Ed Kintz. Another first was the win- ning of the Homecoming game, played against Wheat Ridge High. The home- coming victory was the first Bear Creek had savored in seven years. Possibly the most noticeable change, or first of the football team, was the ability to put more points on the board. Although the season wasn't one of winning, the scoreboard showed a surge of new-found confidence by the players. Senior football players lim Dooley and Phil Traylor conveyed their feelings about the 1985 season: Football was inspira- tional and satisfying. We had an enjoyable year, and even though we lost more games than we won, a sense of accom- plishment and enjoyment was felt by the whole team. Coach Ed Kintz expressed his thoughts on his first year of coaching at Bear Creek. lt was a lot of fun, although we didn't have very many experienced players re- turning. lf kids want to play football they have to make a commitment-they must be committed to excellence. Kim Mycoff, a senior, who has wit- nessed four years of Bear Football, re- layed her joy over the 1985 season: This year's season was much better than the previous years. Our team had more con- trol of the ball, and the skill has much improved. Winning the Homecoming game brought everyone's spirits up. The games this year were so much fun! The excitement of the crowd, and the de- termination of the players made for great times in the stands, expressed sopho- more Alison Sjordal about the season of firsts. The 1985 season will be well remem- bered as the start of something great. The Bear defenders pursue the ball carrier. Spons 163 Foundations For The Future When it's football season at Bear Creek, school spirit is at its peak. For freshmen, playing football in High School is a new experience and maybe even a little scary, but even so, there were seventy boys who were brave enough to take on the chal- lenge. So many boys went out that 27 had to be turned away, but not before they were given a fair chance at try-outs. The Bears had a good season by winning half their games. Mr. McNeel, one of the coaches commented, We had a real good bunch of kids this year, lots of tal- ent. Mr. McNeel also felt that, Everyone had a lot of fun, and asked if he would coach again next year, he said he'd love to. Special thanks goes to coaches leff Boxell, Tim Ryckman, and lan McNeel for all of the time and effort they put into the 1985-86' freshman football team. The Sophomore football team encoun- tered stiff competition during their 1985 football season. The team finished with a record of one win and eight losses. Sadly enough, four of their losses were heart- breakers where they lost by less than ten points. Coach Rombach stated, lf the team keeps practicing and getting stron- ger they could win several games next year as part of the Varsity football team. 164 Football Over seventy eager and spirited freshmen tried out for the freshman football team that was victorious in half of their games.

Ms. Weatherly told the girls to run ten laps and get warmed up. This was the typical beginning for each practice. Girls basket- ball has come a long way and this year's team was by tar the best team Bear Creek has put on the court in nine years. The girls l.V. ended their season as fifth in league while the sophomores ended theirs at 14-2. This is the best season we have had tor a long time and I know it is one that l will never forget, replied senior, Kelly Beer. The Varsity whose record was 14-5, had seven seniors, of which only tive were re- turning lettermen. All contributed to make the team competitive. The girls were ranked third in the league and tenth in the state. Concentration was a big key to suc- cess, and the girls worked on this before each practice and game to keep them relaxed.

Special thanks goes to Coach Peterson and all of the athletes for their hard work through- out the season. We always pushed each other harder because we knew the other teams were out to beat us, explained Tonnie McCord, a member of the sophomore girls basketball team. The girls sophomore basketball team played exceptionally well this season, as shown by their impressive 14-2 record. Fundamentally, the sophomore girls proved to be more sound defensively than their opponents. Defensive skills were stressed as a priority which contributed to the strength of the team, said Brad Giaeter. Our height was an asset and our agility was better than most teams. l felt pressing each game and stressing man to man defense and tough play was the key to a great season.

The halls sprawl emptily, show- ing no sign of the people who walked them just a few short days ago. However, the minds of the students and faculty are filled with memories of the year gone by. For many, the athletic successes of the year stand out with clarity. The football team won an exciting Homecoming game, and the soccer and gymnastics teams had inspiring seasons, both taking second place in state. Bear Creak's con- sistency in athletic success adds to the students' attitudes towards their school. Strong athletics are the basis for unity and support, which makes school a whole lot more enjoyable, enthused junior lamie Chamberlain. Sensational assemblies also brought a feeling of unity and pride to the school, Students gave standing ovations during visits of such notables as Governor Dick Lamm and Vietnam veteran David Reeves. However, when all the pep and school spirit are put aside, each individual has his or her own feeling about being a Bear Creek student. Underclassmen look forward to the next few years of their high school experience. During the next three years of my high school life l hope to be able to reach out to people and make a lot of new friends, stated freshman Dawn Bryan. But for seniors, the end of the year marks the end of an era. Said senior Christy Barnes, I feel leaving this school is like leaving the best part of my life be- hind. The hardest thing will be saying goodbye to all my friends. Students will not forget the experiences of the past year, just as they will remember the dreams and goals which they pursued. The end of one year is just the beginning of a whole new field of opportunities, in which new aims and ambitions may be realized.
