Now Mexico Volumo VII Mrs. Zimmerly, Receives Spartan Dedication 2 Mrs. Zimmerly teaches the girls better sewing techniques. Home Economics classes are instructed on proper handling of utensils by Mrs. Zimmorly. Mrs. Frances Zimmerly has been recognized by many individuals in the student body for her unique ability to get along with teenagers. Any student with a problem has always found it easy to turn to her for advise. She is capable of offering her services and yet not interfere with anyone's personal life. Friendliness and cooperativeness come naturally to this fine teacher. Her tremendous popularity has resulted from these characteristics. Mrs. Zimmerly received her B. A. degree from New Mexico A M college where she majored in Home Economics. Eight of her fourteen years of teaching have been in our school system. During this time, at Bernalillo High, she has taught Home Economics I and H; has sponsored several graduating classes and the Sewing Club. With great admiration and respect we. The Staff, proudly dedicate our 1958 Spartan to MRS. FRANCES ZIMMERLY. 3 Many Spartans .... will remember, in years to come, the pleas- ant moments spent during this school year. The count- less efforts of the staff are assembled in endeavorance to cultivate the friendships formulated at Bernalillo High and bind together significant events cherished by all. As you page through the '58 Spartan we hope it helps you to recall experiences highlighting your high school life, that they may live in your hearts forever. We now take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to those who have afforded their services to- ward the publication of our annual. With great pleasure we present the Spartan for 1958. The Staff 4 Activities It’s Not Ail Bookwork Life in school cannot be dull, but pleasant and interesting with the many activities throughout the year. 5 Frosh Get Messy Reception Do you remember the Freshmen on Initiation Day? What a sight! The boys, wearing pedal pushers, blouses, nylons, women's hats and shoes; and the girls, wearing huge overalls, men's shoes and shirts with a long tie, provided the en- tire student body with heaps of laughter. As slaves of the Senior Class the Freshmen did any errand asked of them by a Senior. The appearance of a Senior anywhere, anytime com- pelled the Freshies to kneel and recite a poem honoring that Senior. In an assembly held that afternoon approxi- mately ten Seniors and their assigned Freshmen performed stunts on the stage. The commissioner of Complaints. Joseph Ruiz, read complaints sub- mitted by the Seniors regarding misconduct of their slaves. B. H. S. students enjoyed hilarious moments as the Freshmen underwent their pen- alties. A dance, sponsored by the Senior Class, con- cluded the day's activities as the doors of Berna- lillo High opened to some 104 deserving Fresh- men.

Pictured are: On February 6, 1958 a very successful confer- ence was held at Bernalillo High School by the Co operative Program of Educational Administrators. The purpose of the conference was to discuss cer- tain topics relative to the public school programs. The day's activities were centered on a study of ways and means for a successful program for aid- ing Indian students in their adaption to public schools. Taking part in the conference were leading educators from several districts in the state, the uni- versity of New Mexico, U. S. Indian Bureau. State Department of Education, lay people, local teachers and a special panel composed of high school stu- dents. The morning was devoted to classroom visita- tion with a general assembly held in the afternoon followed by committee meetings. MR. w. g. DONLEY, Mr. Mateo Aragon. Mrs. Georgia Lusk and Mr. H. D. Sanchez engage in a conversation during free time. Mrs. Lusk is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. dr. vernon BEGGS delivers speech at the general assombly. B. H. S. Students Have Panel Discussion Mr. Ernest Gurule, junior high teacher, headed the student panelists. The group includ- ed Spanish, Anglo and one Indian representa- tive from each pueblo. After a very sincere dis- cussion the audience was given an opportunity to express their opinions and ask questions. Topics discussed were, the adjustment of Indian students in the school, cultural differ- ences, Indian and non-Indian relations. A banquet held at the cafeteria brought the day to a climax. Committee chairmen gave their reports and Dean Travelstead from the University of New Mexico thanked the people for making it a successful event. group discussions were held in several class rooms to discuss different phases of the main topic— The Adjust- ment of Pueblo Children in the Public School. dr. tranx angel, Mr. Candolario Torres, Dr. Zintz.

Fol- lowing a close, action packed game, the Spartanites pulled through triumphantly. The game ended with the score 38-26. Attendance by the entire stu- dent body brought receipts of the game to the vicinity of $50.00. Ad- mission fee was 15 cents. The money was submitted to local March of Dimes Chairman. Roose- velt Junior High and O. L. O. S. High Students were also invited to attend. Highlights before the main game; two girls physical educa- tion classes engaged in a basket- ball game. At the termination of the game, both teams were tied. Several overtimes were played, each time they tied scores.

Superintendent THIS picture show a typical school board meeting. Members are loft to right: Mr . Grace Howe. Mr. Candelario Torre , Mrs. Ruben Montoya, Mis Rebecca Baca, Mr. Monico Aguilar and Mr H. D. Sanchez. Our Board of Education, as all others in New Mexico, is made of up five members. Each member is elected for a term of six years, and there is no limit to the number of terms a member may be re-elected. All members serve without pay; most of the time they don't even get paid for the expenses they incur in connection with their duties. The Board meets regularly on the third Tuesday of every month. Each meeting lasts any- where from three to five hours. This legal body is charged with the responsibility of providing an education for the boys and girls of our school District. Most of the action taken by the Board centers around the mak- ing of policies for governing the schools. These policies are used as guides by all employees of the board. Aside from policy making they listen to re- ports and act upon recommendations present- ed by the Superintendent in connection with the operation and management of the school system. Typical of the many items on which the Board acts at its meetings are such things as the approval of all expenditures, the open- ing of bids for awarding construction or equip- ment contracts and the hiring of personnel. mrs.

Administrators Promote Better Student Education First of all, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate your Annual Staff for the excellent work it did in producing last year's book. We are confident that this year's book will be even better. Any yearbook is, of course, a precious possession for any student to have. It furnishes him in later years with a historical account of the many important events which he was associated with during his high school ca- reer. Be sure to avail yourselves of the great number of opportunities that you have at your disposal during your high school years, and live those years in such a manner that the accomplishments and gains made will be so numerous and so profitable that you could not record them in one thousand yearbooks. Mr. R. R. Esparza: The history of the Spartan is very closely allied to the history of the school as a whole. B. H. S. was just three years old in 1952 when the first Spartan was published, and I was serving my first year as its principal. The problems we had to face in those days were terrific. Since then, how- ever, a tremendous amount of improvement has taken place. Today the Spartan enjoys the distinction of a high rating in The National School Yearbook Association. The school has also achieved the highest standing possible for high schools through its recent acceptance into The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. All of this has been made possible by the hard work of students, teachers, and interested citizens. As I leave B. H. S. after eight years of service I feel proud of having contributed in a small way to the general improve- ment of the school, and I wish it continued success in the years to come. mr. esparza informs student body that BHS was accepted by the North Central Association. Edmundo Homandez Franco Zimmerly Felix Garcia Faculty Takes Active The outcome of the revised schedule, this year, was longer and fewer periods. Previous schedules included seven to eight periods a day. This modifi- cation consisted of five seventy minute periods, four days a week, eliminating the need for study halls. It was so arranqed to allow teachers to give instruc- tion in the first half of the period and hold a study hall on the latter part of the period itself. Wednesday was activity day. The entire day was devoted to guidance, class meetings, assem- blies in the morning and club meetings in the after- noon. Guidance sessions are conducted by the home- room sponsors and topics for discussion are decided upon by all teachers. Heading this program was our guidance counselor, Mr. Garcia. visitors from North Central carefully obsorve the reaching techniques ol faculty members and the general classroom at- mosphere.

Melquiades Alderete Prepare Now, Succeed In The Future American high schools all over the country offer a wide range of subjects for its ever increasing enrollment. It is very important to take subjects that will prepare us for future work. In obtaining a broad background of learning we may be of greater service to our nation. 19 commercial classes have emphasized membership in tho Slate Commerce Club sponsored by Highlands Univer- sity. Certificates presented by tho club to deserving mem- bers encourages greater advancement in those subjects. Above are: Darlene De Lara and Clara Lucero. Academic Departments Evaluated Committees representing the North Central Ac- creditation Association visited the school in the early part of March for the sole purpose of evaluating the entire system. Leading educators throughout the state made up these various committees. They tour- ed the school plant and inspected it thoroughly, in- cluding some things normally considered of no value by the occupants. Prior to the visit, teachers were appointed to ob- serve the different departments and do a little re- search of their own. Improvements were made, wherever needed, in order to meet the standards set up by North Central. In a Chicago meeting it would be decided whether or not the school's application for national accreditation would be accepted or rejected. A graduate, leaving an accredited school, will have an advantage when seeking college entrance. The students remaining can be proud of this fact which will be very beneficial to them in future years. studying foreign lancuages brings about a more intelligent international relations. Spanish is taught primarily to allow Spanish speaking students to increase their vo- cabulary and get a thorough knowledge of their native tongue. Secondly, the class helps those who are not familiar with tho language to acquire a general concopt of it. 20 BUSINESS students taking Bookkeep- ing, Shorthand. Typing I and II woro placed in downtown offices to got practical experience along with tho regular class routino. Mechanical Drawing Club was instituted this year to encourag© students in the fiolds of math. There are great opportunities for mon and worn- en with a good background in math. Mathematics have become a necessity in this scientific age. Presently General Math., Algebra I, II and Geometry are offered at Bernalillo High. Pictured above are Pauline Padilla at the adding machine and Pearl Cano typing with the aid of the stenorette. a dictation devise. Microphones, and tape recorders arc in constant use by the speech class. Likewise, panel discussions, debates, and spoech making aid in speaking fluently. With the play-back they may detect signs of mispronunciations, clarity, contency and be able to correct their mistakes. 21 Science is a part of our every day life, here Mr. Rivera with tho help of eight of his students mix a few chemicals for an experiment. It seems as though Spudnilt'' has finally awakened people to realize the vast importance of science courses. Grammar, a required subject of all classes has been most enjoyable this year. As in other schools, diagramming, reading, writing essays, and keeping notebooks is practiced by the English teachers, Mrs. Torres. Mrs. Brieghtling. Miss Silva and Mr. Wood. The teachers also stressed Penmanship this yoar. Another item that aroused the ambition of the students is the goal set. that states that if a B average or higher is acquired in the first three years of grammar, they will be exempted when they are Seniors. 22 Science courses are of torrific value to the student who dosiros to live more intelligently. The de- mands for people with a science background are ever increasing. Literature and English grammar wero taught interchangeably by Mr. Wood, in his Basic Communi- cations class. BIOLOGY.

The People Responsible For The Up-Keep Of Our School Mr. Flavio Nieto always scorns to be around whenever he is needed. Here he places a sign for one of the store rooms. Many times we the student body fail to realize the important work that goes into the smooth operation of our school. The people responsible for this task are the cus- todians, nurse, kitchen staff and bus drivers. Each day they perform their duties diligently. These include: medical care for students, providing a means of transportation, cafeteria service and keeping the building in tip-top condition. With the installment of new equipment in the high school kitchen the cooks find their daily work more pleasant. During the nurse's weekly visits she enjoys her own comfortable room, where she may confer with students in private. Nurse Bumgardner carefully examines her pationt. Valerio Archibeque.

Spartan Fourteen Staff Largest Ever With Enthusiastic Members At times people can be very critical of another's work. They may offer worlds of advise, but when the actual work involved is discovered no one is willing to do something about it. Such would have been the case this year, but for the large and competent staff who devoted both time and effort in attempt to publish a superior yearbook. Much difficulty was encountered in the organization of the club, therefore progress was hindered by later occur- ances. All but three were not acquainted with this type of work. With a little coaching and guidance from the sponsor, Mr. Gonzales and former members they proceeded with great determination. Many of the fourteen staff members developed a deep interest in photography. The photographic equipment which was purchased this year was a tremendous aid in acquiring knowledge concerning this particular field. Candidates for the Spartan Queen contest were nomi- nated by the staff. The selection was made by the entire student body. Following a tie, between two girls a re-vote was held in which Mickie Molinar was victorious. T t cluttered tables (right) are charactoriBtic ol the stall room the entire year, but Clarita Lucero.

Keeping a complete catalogue file, maintaining an up to date bulletin for announcements, caring for books, maga- zines, newspapers and seeing to it that shelves were kept neat was part of the daily routine. This year's library budget was spent mostly on buying new books and supplies. Besides obtaining books through purchase orders, a book drive re- sulted in the club acquiring an additional 175 titles. louise quintana (left) inserts borrowers card in shipment of New Books.

A steady stream of news was constantly made available for our enjoyment. Everyone looked forward to the distribution of this official pub- lication with anticipation. This year the National Scholastic Press Association was of major concern. Each issue of the paper was given a critical analysis, re- turning the results to them. Membership in this association lead to journalistic improvement and continued hard work to meet standards. dave wheeler and Rita Lucero know it takes quite a bit of typing to put out the Shield. mrs. torres and Rita Lucero's favorite words when JOE ORTEGA.

Players Dramatize “Ramona” Early California, with all its romance, color and atmos- phere was seen on the stage of the Bernalillo High School Au- ditorium when the Drama Club presented the first dramatic presentation in the history of B. H. S. Ramona a royalty play by Northwestern Publishing Company is a three-act dramati- zation of Helen Hunt Jackson's immortal romance. The play depicted the life of a gentle, beautiful girl, half Indian, half Spanish, who leaves her only home and life of luxury to marry Allessandro, an Indian. One of the greatest love stories ever written, Ramona ROSE wheelock was solocted unani- mously by the Drama Club as presi- dent of this organization for the 1957- 1958 school year. characters in play are: Patricia Reynolds as Margarita-Marda's daughter. Eddie Torros as Juan Canito-head shepherd. Seferina Chavez as Juanito-old servant and Tommie Mares as Marda-head cook. father jose, Julian Sanchez, gives his blessing to Allessandro. Frank Perea, and Ramona. Viola Romero before his depar- ture. was selected on the basis of clear-cut stipulations concerning the adjustment problems involved and values derived from integrating the Spanish, the Pueblo and Anglo extractions. IN this romantic drama Rose Wheelock portrays a harsh Senora who absolutely forbids Ramona's marriage to Allessandro. The play was shown publicly and was a tremendous success. Miss Dolores Silva, drama instructor, directed the Players.” the sewing club, sponsored by Mrs. F. Zimmerly provided an opportunity for addi- tional training for girls interested in sewing. The students created original styles or went by pattern. They received instructions on quick sewing techniques, learned the tricks and short cuts for lovelier garments. The club was divided into two periods, each group devoting 75 minutes weekly. Sen- ior girls were given first preference and so on down the line. They made great progress de- spite time limitations. A number of beautiful Fiesta Dresses were made, plus various other types of clothing. Including these girls also participated in a style show, held in the spring. Science Club Joins Science Film Strip knowledge of our environment and present day developments de- pict the purpose of the Science Club. Thus, we are capable of being of greater service to ourselves, our community and our nation. Interest, imagination, broad- mindedness are basic factors in ac- cepting and studying scientific meth- ods. These may also be established as requirements for joining the club. This organization adopted a constitution and joined the Science Film Strip of the Month Club as the year commenced a system of record keeping of all laboratory equipment and supplies was worded on as time progressed. 80 Girls Put On Style Show the students of B. H. S. have shown a now interest in science. They find it enjoyable to experiment, and the tense feeling they get when an experiment is underway. (Above) Mr. Rivera carefully measuros chemicals.

Roger Lucero, and Benjic Lucero, set type for printing of newspaper. Shield Goes To Press Mr. Pienado and the Printing Staff are very busy people, when it comes to printing our school paper. Most people would think this kind of work was all play and no work, but it's just the very opposite of that. While two or three boys set out the type, three more get the paper ready for printing. Three others may be cleaning the ma- chine of old type. The big moment of course is when they have everything set and the first issue is printed, then they know how accurate and efficient their work is. TOMMY MARTINEZ. Jim Guillen. Valentin© Lovato.

The song was heard by the students and there was a unanimous approval of acceptance. Shortly after, a contest for naming the school song, was opened. The prize was a basketball season ticket and the win- ning entry Spartan Victory March was submitted by Tommy Perez. Familiarity of popular music was made possible through the organization of a dance band. Beginners band was also introduced to encourage participation in the musical aspects of school functions. A spring concert was held in May by the advanced and beginners band. In February the band attended a state wide concert at Johnson Gym in Albuquer- que. They also played numerous selections throughout the year at various asse- mh. HERNANDEZ completes his mblies. third year as band instructor.

Nick Garcia seems to bo very en- thusiastic in his work. In order to furnish a study of the rules and princi- ples fundamental to the makinq and reading of blue prints, a club called Mechanical Drawing was organ- ized. Meeting for 70 minutes weekly, the members utilized tools and symbols and gained concepts of bas- ic Geometric figures. Following their own blue print they attempted to construct a house (to scale) of lumber. It would con- tain windows, doors and all essential parts of a house. Bernalillo High School Holds Music Festival Bernalillo High School convened a music festival with the co-operation of many neighboring grade schools and junior high schools. School participants were: Grade schools—Roosevelt, Placitas, Algodones, Santo Domingo; Roose- velt Junior High and B. H. S. There was a large variety of songs, dances and instrumentals. Mr. Edmundo Hernandez and Mrs. Diana Howe were in charge of the music. Rehearsals are held for participants. Rita Lucero. Glenda Silva. Sandra Aragon and Rallnda Butler. Mr. Hernandez at piano.

The yearbook Staff honors these deserving and proud students by reserving a special section of the book for them. 37 Freshman Favorites David Snyder Virginia Moya Junior Favorites Bennie Montano Ruby Lucero Senior Favorites Rita Lucero George Jaramillo Queen Attendants Patsy Ortiz Darlene DeLara Kathy Garley As tradition calls, a junior girl has the distinction of being chosen Prom Queen, to reign at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The Junior Class has the sole responsibility for this selection. Runners-Up for the title become her attendants. 43 Prom Queen Spartan Queen . Mickie Molinar In years past the Spartan Queen was chosen only from among yearbook staff members. This year the Spartan Staff served as a nominating committee for the Spartan Queen which will represent BHS's favorite girl. The entire student body voted on girls repre- senting every class. A second vote was required this year because of a tie between Sally Vigil and Mickie Molinar. Athletics Indulge In Wholesome Activities i An athletic program is of vital importance to a modern school.

Ber- nalillo came from behind in the first half to take the eventual third-place victory. Dickie Lopez had 20 points while his team- mate, Walter Blair had 18 points. In earlier games the Spartan had a tight action game with Corona, but slipped past them in an overtime battle. Walter Blair scored 14 points and team-mate Jake Vigil added 13 in the Spartan triumph. Joe Ortega was the big man, however, hitting a jump shot with 0:51 seconds remaining in the over- time session to insure the victory. Spartans won their second district 3B overtime game with a fantastic comeback triumph over Magdalena, before an overflowing crowd of 1,200 at A. I. S. gym. Carlos Pino cli- maxed a wild finish with a half court two hander with 0:01 sec- onds remaining on the clock for the final count. An outstanding 16-6 record was set by the Spartan basket- ball team. They accomplished this feat through co-operation, fairness, and team play. Another factor contributing to their victorious season was the new gymnasium. The players can safely attribute partial success to this new addition of the school. Formerly, it was difficult to develop the skill and receive sufficient practice, for the type of ball club we had this year, without proper facilities. This record surpasses any set pre- viously at Bernalillo High.

A great deal of time and effort are expended by both students and sponsor to perfect yells in attempt to achieve maximum results of team moral sup- port. Cheerleaders are key people in the games. They are representatives of the school and must be neat and attractive in appearance. Basic qualifications for a cheering squad are sportsmanship, alertness, personality and re- sourcefulness. Bernalillo's varsity cheerleaders were very active this year. They planned and supervis- ed pep rallies, their purpose being to create school spirit. Occasionally, the coach or a player would be guest speaker. As loyal sup- porters of the Spartan Team the five girls also attended all home and outside games. Cheerleader's outfits depict the schools colors and add considerable zest to the sports program. b team cheerleaders, Genevieve Calabaza.

Those of Indian, Spanish and Anglo extraction. Our aim to create closer relationships and a better understanding of each group has been very successful. 53 Student Council Assemblies such as pictured above wore conducted by the council throughout tho year.

Attends Convention Another 57-58 first was the revision in the pro- cedure sustained by the Student Council since its organization. That was, the president and vice-presi- dent of each class automatically became council members. This year, however, the classes were di- vided into home rooms, each home room choosing a representative. No class would have less than two students in the council. Also, in breaking away from tradition a general election for officers was held. Campaigning for the election for officers was held. Campaigning for the election was conducted a week before the actual voting date. Senior representatives competed for the presi- dents seat and Junior representatives for Vice-Presi- dents. The positions as to class. Returns were very close and interesting. Ralinda Butler must have said somothii funny. Pat Reynolds seems to want to he more. Nora Romero is just listening.

These Freshmen gained much by their new experiences and a varied daily schedule. The guidance program was a basic factor in setting them on the right path. Initiation was probably one of the most looked forward events of the year. Freshmen boys were required to dress as girls and Freshmen girls wore sloppy men's clothes. A poem was recit- ed. on their knees, before any Senior. The day was full of fun. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Elaine Brietling, Mrs. Gloria Pasko, Mr. Roy Rivera, and Mr. Marky Alderete the Freshmen Class presented to the student body and faculty a varied and talented Freshmen Assembly. Their fund raising projects consisted of bake sales, and the sponsoring of a movie. Class dues were also collected for this purpose 104 Frosh Earn Spartanship Genevieve Calabaza Remijio Lovato Frank Gurule Elias Archibeque Avolino Gurule Ray Moquino Adolfo Baca Dell in Lovato loo Padilla Annie Benavidez Pancracio Chalan Eric Griego ELIAS ARCHIBEQUE.

The class was well aware of the deficiency of books in the library and decided to do something about it. Their home room sponsors mentioned the fact that B. H. S. was in the pro- cess of being accredited by the North Central Accreditation system and that something had to be done to help out the library. Without hesitation the group adopted the idea of spon- soring an assembly and charging one book as the admittance fee, which in turn was to be donated to the library. The assembly went over in a big way. Before the Christmas vacation the class drew names for gift giving. Gifts were ex- changed at a party held later. The class par- ticipated in many activities of the same nature. Increases in their class fund came from bake sales, sponsoring a movie, raffles, and various- other projects held during the 57-'58 school year.

All previous formal events had been held in Albuquerque. Now for the first time we were able to utilize our own high school facilities. Beautiful decorations and theme gave the auditorium a majestic atmosphere. The Juniors held an assembly at which time they were privileged to present the Seniors with their class rings. Outstanding members of the Junior Class were selected to represent our school at Boy's and Girl's State. These students must rate high in their scholastic record and personal traits.
