james Stevenson Roberts Football 43 Lacrosse 43 Art 2, 35 Typing 39 Student Activities Chairman. In the fall of 1964, CA was blessed with the most proficient employer of the verbal slash ever to visit Colorado. Few will ever forget that arrival -complete with a cigarette in the corner of the mouth, wings, rails, fins, and waves of hair, and of course-the accent-f'New York. Along with this arrival, most of us will never forget a certain departure--,often a short cab ride to The Springs and a stay at the i'l3'more. The Kid did take temporary leave once, but fortunately, we were blessed with his return the following fall. Jim was probably best known to the populace of a near-by institution as The Organizer? We are sure that f'Grease will dance through life and at the end of it, take a taxi ride to the North Shore in the sky. 110 : V. . Keith Robinson, lr. Soccer 2, 39 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 43 Falcon Club 15 Drama Club 1, Typing 25 Electronics 33 Chess Club 4. Since the fifth grade, Keith Strongheart Troll- stead Phenoovial Robinson has gained the reputation at CA of being the Tarzan failure of the ropecourse, the twinkle-fingered card player, and the philoso- pher of happiness. Keith was also considered as CA's greatest hot rod. He had a little red Porsche that he occasionally took up to 40 m.p.h., but only of course when a mile straight away could be found at four in the morning. The Porsche was a very nice car but for Keith it could sometimes be too-nice. Like Keith, the car seats were double- jointed fthey folded back as well as forwardj. Without Keith's frolicsome manner, Winsome smile, and his kinked but coordinated athletic ability and intelligence, CA would have been at a great loss.

jeffrey joe Reynolds Mountain Rescue 2, 3, 43 Lacrosse 3, 4g Fire Crew 1, 2, Art 1, 23 Falcon Club 1, Drama Technician 1, 2, 3, 45 Gun Club 1, 2, Vice-President 3, 4, Mustang 3, 4. Famous for his turkey call, Wah-Wah added a large portion of Western, or cowboy, flair that is a must to a senior class. Who could forget his Home on the Range in Douglas, Wyo., where a man could live in peace in Marlboro Country? Jeff was a valuable asset to the drama crew, Working diligently in the light booth, temptations aside. His overpowering humor became trying sometimes, however, one could never be in direct opposition to him. All kidding aside, Jeff was a four-year man whose interest in and contribution to the school was profound. SENIORS Edwin Sublett Richards Football 3, 45 Skiing 1, 2, 3, 4, Tennis 23 Kayaking 3, 43 Gun Club 1, 2, 35 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Mustang 3, 4, Telesis 4. How will the seniors ever forget Ted's four o'clock shadow, in the ninth grade yet? In his four years at CA, he was quite a playboy, with numerous hot sports cars that ended up in the Platte River or for sale, when he finally lost his license in his senior year. It wasn't until this last year, when Ted be- came a boarder, that we came to understand him for what he was: a taciturn Don Juan who was always plotting a scheme for a quiet evening with one of the Denver delights the following weekend. From his Jean-Claude Killy appearance on the ski slopes to his nonchalance around the campus, Ted made a definite place for himself here at CA. 109

George Brownell Shepard, lr. Soccer 49 Basketball 45 Baseball 45 Photography 4. The oldest boy in the class will be twenty in September, and we all have much confidence in him to use his vote wisely. George had a little scare earlier this year when he was ranked 1A, and had to go for his physical. George was a very deter- mined athlete, having played Varsity Soccer, Bas- ketball, and Baseball. As a result, he insisted on having ten hours of sleep a day. Above all, George is a golferg in this sport, he excels so much that sometimes he forgets everything else. We will all miss George very much, and we wish him good fortune in future life. It will be difficult to find such a cheerful, happy-go-lucky, yet hard working student at CA for years to come. SENIORS Michael Britton Smith Football 19 Wrestling 45 Lacrosse 45 Art 1, 2g Gun Club 2, 3, 4g Electronics 4. Mike Smith has a philosophy of life that maybe we all should follow. He himself sums it up in one phrase, 1 don't sweat the small stuff. He con- tinued to follow this philosophy all year long, and proved its effectiveness again and again. The fact that he lost all the time at cards never bothered him at all, and not having a dime for the Coke machine were mere trivialities to be ignored. His happiest moments were expressed by, Oh, boy, I got the Mustang tonight! and he never missed a chance to ask someone if he could borrow his car. A big achievement for Mike this year was earning the title, The Killer, in wrestling circles, and after a victory he'd always let the whole school know how he Killed that guy. CA will miss Mike, especially his presence in the senior lounge. 111
