Lehl t a r It's Been A Real Year!'' 8k CEMIRal WARRIORS ENTRANCE —► ED traffic prohibited VISITORS The 1979-80 school year at Central High School was very real to the students, the community, because it seemed to be a real year of change — changes in our size (we began the year with nearly 1,100 students), and we were very crowded; and there doesn’t seem to be much relief in sight. We even had a signboard that told who and where we were. There were many changes in the face of the area around us. Housing developments were being built around us, in fact, two are almost next door, literally. Coro- nado Shopping Center is just about a quarter mile east of the campus. It's the first of its kind in our part of the Grand Valley. Maybe other business will now come into the area. Much of this change in our environment has been due to our being somewhat the center of energy development in Western Colorado, mostly synthetic fuels and coal resources. - Another change came in the attitude of many students and their parents who took a renewed interest in college and showed up en masse for College Night (left). In the back- ground is Jeff Craig and Brett Swerdfeger, foreground. Parents talk with representative of University of Northern Colorado. We had a good Homecoming Parade, with imaginative ideas for the floats and decorat- ed cars. Cool trains have been on the increase hauling high quality coal ail over the nation.

The event is sponsored annually by the Student Council and Student Senate at Central High School and involves hours of preparations on floats, music, the coronation, the dance, and hundreds of smaller details, including the parade down Main Street of our city. Several bashful boys do their part to hurry along their class' float — the Junior work of art eventually won the float competition in the parade.

DECA was the only club represented with a float in this year's Homecoming parade. The homecoming events were cele- brated with more spirit this year by the student body. The cheerleaders honored the Senior football players with carna- tions. Every class participated with their floats to make the parade a great suc- cess. Although the Warrior team suffered a disheartening 34-0 loss to the Grand Junction Tigers, the crowd stayed behind their team and showed them unlimited amounts of spirit.

Dromo Godspell . . . “Godspell . the first musical for the Central High School Drama Depart- ment this year, was performed on No- vember 16 and 17 at the Central High Auditorium. The play, a musical based upon the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, was written by Edgar Lans- bury. Stuart Duncan and Joseph Beruh The CHS production was di- rected by Jim Smith. Godspell stars Brian Sharp as Stephen and Brad Harrison as David. Other cast members, in order of ap- pearance. included Lovita Loucks as Robin. Paula Nichols as Gilmer. Lori Meade as Joanne. Brad Sharp as Jeff, Anne Ericson as Sonia. Byron Scott as Lamar. Cindy Owings as Peggy, and Kevin Taylor as Herb. Dee Davis was the director of mu- sic. with Rusty Russell (drums). Steve Faulkner (guitar). Ray Otero (flute), and Michell Wilkinson (piano) playing background music in the band Assistant directors included Cris Bohannan in charge of production. Jen Zimmerman in charge of dance and Kelly Owens in charge of tech. The circus sets and other technical factors were done by James Bates. Randy Pollock. Kevin Pound. Don Trimble. Russell Pierce. Tonja Kelly. Chris Smith. DeLisa Heritage and Brenda Clark Set construction was done by Smith's 6th hour stage pro- duction class. The ushers for the play were students from 5th hour Acting III The play “GodspeH follows the teachings and sayings of Stephen, who is the son of God. The play opens with him speaking, followed by an ac- cusation of sins by members of the cast who had been sitting among the audience After the accusations, the cast members put on their costumes while still on stage, the first time this has been done in a Central High pro- duction. The teachings come next, with each cast member speaking and singing their way through scenarios to prove a point. Each cast member sings at least once, with music from the band backing them up. Throughout the play, both the good and evil is shown, with each having at least someting wrong with them Ann Erickson singing Turn Bock Old Mon! to Brion Shorp (Ste- phen) ofter frying proposition. ft A (Left) Stephen being cruci- fied; Brian Sharp (Stephen) and Brad Harrison (David) fell people Christ is on his way. % Ann Erickson looks on as Brad is shown the more lux- urious way of life. But according to Stephen they can be saved through his father. However, belief starts to fade near the end of the first act. as a song sends the cast off for wine. Except for Ste- phen. who then calls for the intermis- sion. Then up at the top of the audito- rium. Sonja comes in and tries to see what Stephen is made up of. She finds out and the teachings continue, but belief and betrayal come into conflict as the last supper is held. Belief in Stephen as the son of God breaks down and disintegrates, just as the last supper ends. This is followed by the climax of the play when Ste- phen is crucified and then carried out of the auditorium, dead and silent as the concluding song is done. The whole production uses a set of a circus and the players all were dressed up in costumes denoting per- formers in the big top. A trapeze hung ominously during the whole play, until it was lowered to crucify Stephen. Lighting at the end was colored red and soft, to symbolize the atmosphere of the crucifixion, with a bright white spot held on Stephen.

Graduation And Baccalaureate Class Of 1980 Central High graduated its 21st. senior class in Two Riv- ers Plaza, May 20, 19S0. This was great for those who made it through the final year of their formal educa- tion. Not so great for those who didn't make it for one reason or another. A com- mon complaint was the heat and humidity. Some said it was just too warm. But on went the program. The Rev. Ivy Conners of the Seventh Ave. Church of Christ gave the baccalaure- ate address; Mike Kelly, English teacher, was gradu- ation speaker. Four students were honored for maintain- ing a 4.0 grade average while at Central. They were the Four Valedictorians: Barbi Bond, Dawn Davis, Steve Davis, and Geoffrey Holton. By the time if was all finished, nearly 300 boys and girls had graduated and that many parents breathed a little easier. Principal Alvis Fetter welcomes, the graduates, fheir parents, and fheir guests. The seniors of 1980 chose Mike Kelley, staff member to give the commencement address.

Some of the juniors were simply terri- fied about becoming juniors . . others were bored because so many of their friends hod graduated with the lost class of seniors. Excitement was another word that could describe juniors - excited because they weren't sophomores ony longer. They now hod someone to “boss — the sophomores. There were expectations for the future, such os being able to put on a good prom and not going too for into debt to get the job done. By the look on Sharon Smith's face she isn't too excited about getting her picture token.

Robert This year's crop of juniors probably aren't any more afraid or scared than those who have gone before. First, it's ex- pectations that alert these students caught in between being green Sophomores and the last turn-in-fhe-road Seniors. Then, comes the startling realization that the year has gone by so fast; and before they know it. the prom has come and gone; they have taken their final exams; and they stand on the threshold of being sen- iors. Of course, some, for some reason or another, didn't make it and will have to make up credit to become a twelfth grad- er. Others, will be waiting on this last year in high school as not an ending, but rather a beginning, we hope, for life and all of its troubles, woes, and successes. Green. Dorl Greenfield.

At times, one hates to go; on the other hand, there are times when one hates to leave.

I can remember my sophomore year at Central be- cause it was one where I noticed that people support- ed others as best they could. I lost some friends coming to high school, but the new and different people I met made the loss seems not so great. I have since found friends that helped me through a normally difficult time in high school. There are many things to remember about a year in high school, but I remember this about being a sopho- more: Here I was in a strange, new place that seemed bigger than life itself. Still, many of the older kids helped me and others just like me through some diffi- cult periods of adjustments. (Kelly Ireland) 52 Real, Real, Real Images, Images, Images When I first found out that we (my family) were moving, and I would hove to transfer into o new school, os most people would hove been, I was scared. I would hove to moke new friends, hove differ- ent classes with different teachers, and I would be in a different learning environment. The first day I attended classes in my new school, kids said, Who is that new kid? and 'Where is he from? along with a lot of other questions. After a few days, I started getting used to my classes and made some new friends. I still missed my friends in Craig, but I was starting to like going to Central. Craig is a fairly small town, and I knew almost everyone. There was a big difference between the size of the schools, the number of kids in the two schools, and the teachers. Now, that I hove begun getting used to the new school environment, I'm making new friends, and I'm starting to like the teachers and more of my classes.

With the increase in paperwork, there comes a corresponding increase or need for secretaries to do the extra typing, filing, etc. Seems as if every nook and cranny in the office area is filled with a filing cabinet, a typewriter, and or a secretary.

ACADEMICS Arts Crafts Regino Wright and Mike Harris ore working on o ceramic pot during class. Shelly Mehrhoff is working with the pottery wheel to finish the shape of her bowl before glazing. In on arts or crafts class students have a chance to find out what their skills are. The teachers help out when they can and encourage the students to do their best. In these classes some students find out that they are really good at one thing and not good at others. Then they can continue the art or craft as a hobby or go on to become a professomal in ceramics or leathercraft. Glen Klaich Is trying his skill of making o boomerang,- for whom?

DRAFTING Drafting is an interesting but demanding class. If a student plans on becoming an architect this is where he should begin. One learns the basics of designing buildings, how to put everything on a much smaller scale and most of all how to use his imagination. Having an imagination can be useful because it takes creativity to come up with a new design for a building. L to r. Sherry Grieser and Shonna Phelps are work- ing together to finish up a ceramic project. Drafting . . . Just Isn't Drawing No, drafting isn't just drawing. Sure, if has to do with drawing, but it's a precise kind of draw- Ing to produce a specific end product ... ma- chine bolts, a fool, etc. Right, Carl Craig, teach- er, helps David Lake to get the hang of a par- ticular project in drafting.

Central's Student Government The Student Council of Central for this year just finished a good job with what it had to work with. It suffered from the lack of students getting involved in student govern- ment, but the students are ready for another year during which the Student Senate and Student Council can work together for a better school and getting more kids in- volved in school life.

I have no idea as to exactly how many people will agree with this statement, but I'm pos- itive someone out there is say- ing. that's not true. Student Council is working on a lot of things. ' and of course. I agree they are working on a lot of things, but that is all they're doing1 It may even seem to some students that we don't even have a student Council at all Geoff Holton summed it up pure and simple when he said flatly, what student council9'' Of course. Student Council is there, it just may be a little hard to find, being buried under a mountain of red tape that they seem to enjoy working under One example of this is the Name Change issue that was brought up once again in the 77-78 year The name change was ignored, and later tabled due to the fact that, it would take too long to go through. and. the student body didn't show any interest. However, the person who said this either didn't know, or didn't want to admit the fact that the student body was the one who pro- posed the name change and then went so far as to take the issue to a school-wide vote tor a new name If that isn't interest in a subject. I don't know what is Still, in one sense of the word, he was right Interest in Student Council activities seems to be dropping Director. Gary Ambrosier echoed everyone else s thoughts when he said Half the kids don't listen to the Student Council reports anyway But what is the reason that the students lose interest9 Could it be that Student Coun- cil never had anything positive to report9 Attending the Febru- ary 19 meeting of Student Council. I hoped to get some of the answers I needed I got some answers all right The week before, everything was either in the process' or we need a committee. so. on the 19th. I don't know why I expected anything different but I did To put it bluntly, and to save space, they got abso- lutely nothing accomplished whatsoever. The meetings do nothing in the way of accomp- lishments Another biggie is that forming ‘committees'' seems to be the favorite pas- stime One amazing fact is that once a committee is formed, that committee tables the prop- osal. keeping whatever it was. from getting under way. Case and point to prove this would be the committee assigned to work on the lobby bathroom problem The committee was formed, and when a report was due. the fact arose that they hadn't elected a chairman, and would have a report on it next week Now. I'm no great brain on Parliamentary proce- dure. but the reason why they didn't just work it out witnout a chairman, or for that matter how long does it take to elect a chairman9 It seems that for the most part except for the 15 minutes on Tuesdays when they are in the meeting, they spend the rest of their time goofing off “What Student Council?” When asked what he thought of the fact that most students felt that Student Council is a big waste of time. Dan Sullivan. SBA Vice-President, said. The editor (Dave Bingham) is one sided, and not open minded at all He is just looking for the things the whole student body can see A lot of the big projects are brought up by the student body and it takes time to work them out. More has been done this year by Chip, than ever before Now. that may be true, but Student Council has to remember that the student body needs to see material things to reassure their faith in our leaders. things like var- nishing the bleachers, and get- ting a new letter A to place on our banner during games with Junction High are not going to cut it I don't want Student Council to get the wrong idea This is not intended to rip or tear away at them, it is merely done to enlighten them to the opinion of the student body I'm not saying that it's all Student Council s fault but it's not all the fault of the student body either As stated earlier it seemed that the Student Council meet- ings got nothing accomplished but maybe the fault could be corrected if the representatives were screened more tho- roughly before being allowed into office Maybe the Student Council is taking this story the wrong way. but maybe they should also consider that, with some suggestions from the stu- dent body, the government would run a little more smoothly I'm not trying to smooth over what was said before, the problem does exist I'm just saying that the prob- lems can be solved if Student Council really wants to solve them Looking at other schools around the District it's easv to Student Council olso runs the Concession Stond ofter school. In this picture Karen Ligroni is selling candy to a few hungry students. Another pic of Central's best looking cheerleaders. Just a little further Don. and you'll make it! Council see that their Student Council's a?e busy at work for the better of their schools Why should Centrals be any different9 Grand Junction High has been on the go all year and managed to pave their parking lot at a cost of 36.000 whereas theoffi- c a estimate for our parking lot s 160 000 Granted our park- ing tot is larger than Grand Junctions but not 124 000 larger It this is not enough to convince you that our Student Council is ineffective, then take a look at Orchard Mesa Junior High This year, they have pur- chased a computer among other things If these facts and ideas don't convice you that Student Coun- cil is not trying as hard as they probably could, then nothing will As stated before, the prob- lems can be solved if student Council wants to. but up until the time when the Council has proven themselves in the eyes of the student body once again, the mam feeling of the student body will probably follow that of Brian Sharp. Senior, when he stated for the record, they haven't done one damn thing all year' The seniors ore whooping it up of o Student Council spon- sored pep assembly. Head Boy makes accusations :sf Whether constructive or malicious, criticism based on fact can often times be helpful, but criticism based on opinion can serve no better purpose than to slander the accused and if proved unfactual. can emba rass the accuser. As head of the Central High Student Council, it is my posi- tion to defend against the accu- sations of a certain Warrior Times staff writer. I feel they are unfactual. unfair, and slander- ous for the main purpose of fil- ling empty newspaper columns. The main objective of Stu- dent Council is to serve the Central Student Body on issues of concern, whether trivial or important. In view of the fact that student council operates on the basis of Parliamentary procedure, we are compelled to act on any motions brought up. Whether seemingly unimpor- tant or not. all motions warrant action and are acted upon in some manner. While criticism is being spread about. I'd like to make a few accusations of my own. The journalism department, spon- sors of the Warrior Times, are supposedly responsible for a Central High radio program. I have as yet to hear of a single broadcast to date, and I am sure none have been made. In addi- tion, I have learned from a War- rior Times staff writer, the author of the article on student council criticism, that this very newspaper issue is nearly two months behind schedule due to the fact that the original copy was below publication standards. It is my position to accept constructive criticism but slanderous criticism such as you have witnessed in the pro- ceeding article by a Warrior Times staff writer is both unwarranted and illbiased. I feel the Warrior Times should consider their own problems before criticizing others.

Vocal Music Prospers This year was a great for the Vocal Music Deportment. Central High School students con odd four more groups to be proud of. This year Sounds Unlimited participated in two contests, one in Reno, Nevada, the other in Grand Junction. They placed first in their division in Reno, and took the Grand Championship in Grand Junction. The three other choirs. Concert, Central Showcase, and Rocky Mountain Singers, showed their stuff at the Grand Junction contest by receiving number two ratings. Without the outstanding direction of Miss Evo Mae Pis- ciotta, the choirs could not hove succeeded. Her teaching will be greatly missed since she is not returning next year.

Spanish Club at Central High School, as with the other language clubs, gives members an opportuni- ty to study their language of inter- est, in this case Spanish, through study of the culture in which the language is used. The club exam- ines the cultures of Mexico and Spain in such activities as dinners and picnics with Spanish club mem- bers from other schools.

Though membership went down drastically from the pre- vious years, there were still plenty of activities, as students in these clubs managed to have a good time even while learning a feat not easily ac- complished. Dinners were held throughout the year and the most notable being the annual spring dinner in the home eco- nomics kitchens, where sever- al members' mothers came in to help club members learn the fine art of cooking Mexican food. 128 This year’s International Dinner took place in the cafeteria, with Central's three foreign language groups, Spanish, Ger- man, and French, all participating. Each club brought their countries' famous dishes and decorated their assigned section in the cafeteria in their foreign countries' colors. This year there were judges that picked a first, and second place dish from each club, and each club also provided entertainment. The Spanish had the traditional pinata full of candy; the French Club sang French songs, and the German Club also sang some famous songs from Germany. An unidenrified person rakes his chance at breaking open the candy-filled pina- ta. At the International Dinner, the best two dishes from each club were judged on appearance and, of course, taste. The first place win- ners won a Central Warrior totebag, and the second place winners won a gift certificate for a T-shirt with a saying in the language of their lan- guage club.

TVT DECA CREED I believe in the future which I am planning for myself in the field of distribution, and in the opportunities which my vocation offers. I believe in fulfilling the highest measure of service to my vocation, my fellow beings, my country and my God-that by so doing, I will be rewarded with personal satisfaction and material wealth I believe in the democratic philosophies of private enterprise and competition, and in the freedom of this nation-that these philosophies allow for the fullest development of my individual abilities. I believe that by doing my best to live according to these high principals, I will be of greater service both to myself and to mankind.

Doug Morris watches carefully as Steve tries to lift all that weight. Mesa College weightlifters came to Central to dem- onstrate the correct methods of lifting weights. Weights can be used to help a lot of athletes and, even, now- athletes. However, there is a correct way to lift; and with the help of these men Central fans and athletes know how it's done. Stew also knows the right way to explain the basic tech- niques of the dead lift. 144 Tennis Club Hosts Girls' Tennis Teom In Spring. Earlier in the year, Tennis Club members sold candy by the boxes to get funds to travel to Denver to watch some of the worlds' great players in competition. Likewise, they host on annual picnic- type of practice on a spring afternoon.

The newspaper was run by a team of two boys namely David Bingham (Editor) and Brian Hieberf (Assistant Editor). The format of the paper was changed for a new look. The yearbook staff consisted of all girls. Ruby Haines (Editor) and Leah Norris (Assistant Editor) took a chance and put color pages in the yearbook for the first time in many years. Both staffs worked together to create their best publication exam- ples for Central High School in some times. Gome Programs Yearbook Newspaper Heartache No! Just olot of hard wotk.

Inexperience Key To Head coach Chuck Duderus of the Warriors not- ed that this year's varsity was basically a team of six lettermen and a lot of players with junior varsity experience. He said, We felt we needed a lot of breaks if we were to win consistently and make if to the state playoffs ' But due to early- season injuries to several skilled people, the War- riors had to rely on many sophomores and juniors in the starting lineup Warriors' Season...

Still, the coach said, The coaches felt that the young Warriors battled their opponents tough and aggressively and showed definite improve- ment throughout the season. Lonnie Heod.

The girls took third in Southwestern League and ninth in dis- trict. They competed mainly at home this year, although they took some out of town trips to Cortez, Montrose, and Pueblo. The team should do well next year, with four sophomores and four ju- niors returning. Many thanks go out to Joan Edmonds (coach), Judy Gustafson (assistant coach), Darren Hess (student assistant), and all who helped out with the team.

Junior Nibby Musso, the team's MVP traveled to the state tourney coming out just 24 places from the top, out of 120 golfers. 166 Nibbi Musso, junior, was Central's only qualifier for state.

Tennis Team Improved, But Others Were, 168 Cooch Tom Hughes said, The team wos improved, but we hod too many young kids and beginners to moke o serious challenge for the league title. Many from this year's team will be bock next fall, and the Central netters could be a vastly improved bunch. Of course, they will need their share of breaks to challenge for the Southwestern League championship. Terry Williams caught behind a tight back- hand play situation.

The highlight of the season was the trip to Colorado Springs for the district quali- fying tournament. Although no one qualified for the state tourney, the No. 1 doubles of Chris Durand and Chris Kluth came very close to making it. They lost to a team they had beaten three times during the season.

Go!” - all too familiar sounds that rang In the ears of each cross-country runner. The girls ore now getting used to these sounds. Although the Warrior cross country program was, on the whole a worthwhile experience for the 11 boys and girls who managed to finish the season, in the running sport.'' The season was not productive in team wins. However, individuals shone brightly on several occasions. Front row, Nickoletto Moschetti, Barbi Pavis. and Jackie Olson. Middle.

Jackie Olson kept taking the grueling punishment of long distance running to become one of the better girl runners. Early in the season the girl's team was at minimum full strength for the coming season. Nicholetta Moschefti, Darbi Davis, Sharon Smith, Allison Tom- shack, and Jackie Ol- son. For example, the high point of the season was Steve Davis' first place finish in the District 51 Invi- tational. Thus, the Warriors hod a better season on an individual basis.

The Warriors were more balanced team than in 1978-79, with some outstanding, state-quality wrestlers. As Coach DuCroy said, We've done a fine job . . . We showed a lot of balance still we have the potenial to do on even better job than this year in 1980-81. We will again have balance. But it all depends on how much work the guys do and how important wrestling is to them. Gary Buderus, 185-pounds, was the most successful, winning third in the state AAA tourney.

It become very clear that no one really hod o solution to settle the sitotion by the time summer come around. No one was even sure os to why the Ameri- cans were token hostage in the first place. Many of- fered solutions to the stand-off between Iron and the United States. Perhaps, the answer lies within the walls of such o building as this, the chapel on the grounds of the Eisenhower Memorial in Abilene, Kansas. Perhaps, the answer will be spiritual. At least, the thoughts ond feelings of many American could do worse than hove the company of one of our greatest modern leaders . t ADVERTISING TZ RANCH Manager, Dud Rinaldo Owners, L.O.

Sounds Unlimited traveled to the Reno International Jazz Festival and was the first choir from Colorado to ever participate in the festival. Their print was additionally left by placing 1st in their division. Leaving C.H.S. Wednesday, April 9, the group traveled to Salt Lake City and ate dinner then attended a rehears- al of the Jay Welch Chorale at the University of Utah. The group traveled all night on the bus to make if to Reno by morning and eat breakfast at Circus Circus. It was off to the motel to clean up a little before rushing off for a swim at the pool in the University of Reno. There was a little bit of humor on that outing as a few guys showed up in old fashioned, red striped, swim suits. Activities also included in the four days Sounds was there, was shopping, visiting Harrah's Antique Car Collec- tion, and an evening in the fun gallery at Circus Circus. On Saturday morning the curtain parted in the Pioneer Theatre revealing Sounds Unlimited to the judges and other choirs that were competing. The judges decided it was a good enough show to fake first in the Pop-Show 1 division. Through the tough competition of schools from California and the West coast Colorado shown through. That evening they had a command performance in front of nearly 6,000 people. As soon as it was over, if was back on the bus for a long ride home. Sunday evening around 10:30 p.m. a bus pulled into the Central parking lot and a group of fired but happy kids lighted off the bus and headed for home. Don Gillespie, Robert Goetz, ond Bill Ownbey show real enthu- siasm for breakfast of Circus Circus. Rick McCain, Serena Carroll. Randy Boyum and Robin Fuller have mixed feelings about being photographed. After a tour of the MGM Grand Hotel. Deana Craig, Darrell Curtis, Michelle Campbell, Rick McCain, and Sherry Hill wel- comed the chance to rest on the thick velvet couches. This was as close to luxury as Robert Goetz. Bruce Kassebaum, Michelle Campbell, Lovita Loucks. Bill Owenbey and Dan Sullivan got at Harrah's Antique Car Collection. Ploying cords wos o greot pastime on the long bus rides.

A C — StOs- i_A- 248 This was an exciting and rewording year for the members of the 1980 Towosi staff. However, it wasn't always easy rolling. There was o problem with finances. But once the students started to buy their books, and businesses started placing ads in the yearbook, the future didn't look so grim. Finally enough money came in and we ventured out and put color pages in the yearbook. Once the decision was made on which activities would be color, the real work started. Camaras started clicking, the darkroom was put to use, pages were layed out, and copy written. Our effort' rewarded as we met the December deadline. Clubs started swinging into action, that meant running here at., there to identify students, faculty, objects and activities. If was no easy job because some of the poses were slightly unusual. We kept things moving and before we knew it the first deadline had been met ahead of time and the second almost met. Things kept rolling with faculty and student cooperation. When May came the yearbook was looking better and better with if three-fourths done. Corrections were made and we knew we had given it our best effort. Now with the year over and the Journalism room silent, there's one thing that we'll remember and hope you do as well. S O' G s C 3 IT'S BEEN REAL”. Sincerely. 1980 Tawasi Staff
