We can no longer manifest You youthful pranks and schemes- One small, not trifling door is closed to relinquish to our dreams- Marcy Branton Life, it began with a seed. Your parents supplied your every need. But now your grown. Out on your own Life was just a dream To see what the future would bring. Chris Whitaker We searched Until we found a dream, That wispered a promise gave us a purpose, and seemed to go on for ever. Teri Patton A smile is a horseshoe turned upside down. People make it an awful looking frown I think this just should not be, Because a smile is a happy thing to me, A smile should always be worn, this I know; So that the people around you can glow If you have noticed if you smile, they smile Pretty soon the smiles on faces will pile, So you see it is weird what smiles can do If you smile, someone will smile at you! Chris Whitaker We begin; We listen at first; We wonder; We finally question; We protest; We begin to learn; We experience; And we grow! Marcy Branton 3 PAGE 5 TABLE OF CONT CLASS Lk....X....l.:....

While they usually enroll in a two-period secretarial block, they also scatter to various jobs with business firms in the Grand Junction area.

Mrs. Frazier works with clay as students look on. Larry Pike seems to be a bit skeptical, John Jenkins is just tickled pink as is Irene Martinz. These vocational classes enable students to develop and enrich skills in the arts and crafts area. The program has recently been expanded to include a class in jewelry making. No, it's more like this. 47 HOME EC. Maybe just a little-Roberta Hughes. Debbie Widner learns everything she always wanted to know about her hair, but was afraid to ask.

To start off with there is general math, and plane geometry; and if a person is ambi- tious enough he or she can advance into math analy- isis and trig. Tain Curtis can't figure out where the draft is com- ing from. Sophomore students don't know if they can handle this tough high school stuff, not arithmetic. 56 Joni Coleman totally absorbed in???????????????? Merle Whaley-take one. James Selcke and his World Problems class try a little culture for lunch. Eric Heuser not paying attention to the lesson. Let's see! If I take this route-Dana Coslett.

DRIVERS’ EDUCATION Sophomores who come to Central are finding themselves in a course called Drivers Education. The course covers such things as classroom studies, simulators, on the road driv- ing, and driving on the range. Is my car really small enough to fit here? Dave Cawood, drivers education instructor, stares in amazement at the projector as he tries to run it. Are you sure that everyone is going to be able to pile in here? Drivers education instructor Craig Fay flashes a sinister grin for the camera. Oh no! How do you turn these crazy things off? Kim Sheley and Russell Stogsdill help each other out. 4 O K K OS) C j (D od o €L- A. T ? 7= - T HC With higher coffee prices, there may not be a last drop. Bob Lynch tells Teri Rice a sad sob story.

Mr. and Mrs. S. Claus A holiday is any day on which people set aside their ordinary duties and cares.

DEBBIE RETTIG AND DON SCHELUNG - TELLING OF SCAPINO'S TRICKERY. Scapino is a play which takes place in the present in a cafe in Italy. The main characters include two rich old misers and their two sans, the sons' lovers and the sons' guardians. The two sons have married their two lovers but become fearful of their fathers anger over it. They beg Scapino to help them with his clever witt. He agrees and soon talks the fathers out of a lot of money which would get the two sons out of their predicament. But, Scapino decides to push his luck by playing a joke on one of the fathers. He is nearly at the end of his rope until he uses his witt to think of a plan which will successfully gain the fathers' forgiveness for the tricks he played on them. The comedy is fast-moving with much slapstick humor, which is the main reason for its comical success. RAFT RACES Because of Che lack of water in Plateau Creek, the eighth annual.

In the end team wound up with a 3-5-3 season. The loss of the No. 1 player, Kevin Kingsford, near the end of the sea- son had hurt the team. But other- wise, the team made some improve- ment and should be ready for next year's competition.

Coach’s Comments The season began with an inexperienced but good team, and as the season progressed, the boys began to play well. The defense played well all season long. The key was aggressiveness When the offense started playing its game, the only thing that kept the Warriors from having an out- standing season was mental break- downs and errors. Offensive strength was its running attack; defensive strength was season-long aggress- iveness. 1976 Neal (88) gets to the Cortez quarterback at crucial time; Cook, Aaron Monger, and Rocky Bailey assist. 1976 coaching staff for the Central Warriors (L-R) — Bob Sondergard, offensive coordinator and defensive backs; Coen Dexter, offensive-de- fensive line coach; Phil Snyder, head coach; Ted Ducray, junior var- sity coach; Lincoln Hall, JV assistant coach.

A 11-9 record for the year and a 6-6 mark in the Southwestern League--not too bad, but not really good enough to satisfy the players and Coach Phil Coulter of the Warriors. Probably, the one factor that hurt the Central varsity most this season was the lack of ex- perienced bench strength; they would simply run out of gas on successive nights when they had a tough week- end doubleheader. But one thing for sure--the Warriors didn't give up. % Briggs mouthing off again. The Junior Varsity squad of 1977, coached by Dave Cawood, Back Row, (L-R), Mark Votruba, J. D.

The team's enthusiasm and cooperation was shown in each meet they faced, which made them hard to beat! In their first league matches, they defeated Mon- trose, and they became stronger with each match. When asked about the hu- morous events which took place. Coach Hughes came back with- Well, the girls found it quite difficult to smile while doing their fin- ger-tip push ups! Also, it seems like Christa Starks came up with a new scoring technique that baffled both the coach and her oppo- nents! The season was a fine one for everyone involved. They did a super job of re- presenting Central and show ing surrounding areas just a little bit of all the talent we have here at C.H.S, Daen Robinson - Ah heck! this is easy coach!

SPANISH CLUB The lb-11 Spanish Club had a big member- ship with a lot of enthu- siasm. A visit to Central by a group of Argentine students was one of the highlights of the year for many Spanish Club mem- bers, who acted as their escorts and hosts while they were here. In addi- tion to the annual Spanish- style dinner in the fall, this year the members themselves cooked their own dinner in the five Home Ec kitchens. La cocinamos iclaro que vamos a comerla!

Tennis enthusiasts at Central started a new club this year, better known as the Tennis Club; and this lively bunch was sponsored by Tom Hughes, varsity tennis coach at Central. The group played matches against each other, as well as against clubs in surrounding communities. Along with having fun, members got the experience of learning the techniques taught by Coach Hughes.

Rick Cooper takes a nap on the comforts of the fresh snow. For some time during the past winter months, it ap- peared rather bleak for the Central High Ski Club, since there was little snow in the nearby mountains. The chances for the clubs annual overnight ski outing appeared to grow dimmer as the January days slid past. But the weather took a change for the better toward the end of the month; then the Central skiing buffs headed for the slopes at Steamboat Springs. A second trip is usually a possiblity, but only for one day. To finance these outings, the club gets involved in fund-raising activities such as candy sales, a raffle, etc. David Carroll takes a flying leap over photographer Chris Haworth.

In the spring, the members presented some of the big band sounds of years ago in their annual concert. The kids were good and played with flare and power such modem music favorites as Beethoven's Fifth , not to mention oldies such as 'Tuxedo Junction. Members admitted that it took longer than they thought to be able to master the kind of music that was typical of the Big Band era of the late 1940. ■ ART CLUB Art Club is available to any interested student at- tending Central High School, with the possibilities of becoming an Aesthetic. The requirements for this are to be an Art Club member and earn 300 or more points by attending meetings, workshops, and entering contests, such as the art show in the spring. This year's club turned out to be an active one, with the biggest accomplishment the printing 200 T- shirts for the special Olympics, which was sponsored by The State Home and Training School. This year, Art Club has been working toward the purchase of a gas-fired kiln to be used in the art de- partment.

On the lighter side, the club, spon- sored by Gary Berenson, was treated to a moonlight hayride by Bill Rowe, a local businessman and part-time farmer, hot chocolate and all. The first real book fair at Central was sponsored by the club. Mr. and Mrs. Berenson hosted a Christmas dinner for the club.
