Skiers learn essential skills on dry land By Jenni Curtis The Dons Ski Club went on trips to Purgatory, Durango, Telluride, and Sunrise ski resorts. The purpose of the organization was to promote downhill and cross country skiing, to physically condition students, and to encourage new friendships and beneficial high school activities. A person does not have to be a skier to join Ski Club or to go on the ski trips. Hikers go along for the beauty of the snowy mountains. Some even go just to play in the snow and slide down the hills on Ski Club Karen Marx Tom McConnell Doug Adams Kathy Aitcheson Jeff Banker Ray Boileau Arla Bruflat Dewey Bub Barry Bunzell Rick Burnett Judy Conrad Kathy Darnell Dennis DeSantis Peggy Dietrich Guido DeSimone Larry Dye Ken Eaton Sandy Fitzjarrald Rick Gorsynski Matt Hogsett Pam Holland Monica Job Neil Job Jeff Jones Ron Kline Mary Krutel Susan Marusich Mary Lisa McKallor Paul Murray Lori Nichols Julie Nordal Jeff Peterson Linda Rose Lori Rothschiller Ed Sakesuye Tammy Sargent Cathy Schlessman Missy Somplasky Cathee Shultz Doug Steindorff Missy Therrien Lori Thomas Joe Towne Lisa Walker Shawn Waldorp Lisa Ware Linda Young Sponsor: Sonnie Stevens their innertubes. Club meetings were filled with first aid instructions, Ski Patrol rescue information, educational films, and dryland ski lessons with speakers. The dryland ski lessons instructed the members on how to put on ski boots and what size skis and poles to use. They were also taught special toe exercises to prevent cramping of the toes while skiing. A one dollar discount on trips was given to members for every hour they spent on projects such as pretzel, candy, and rummage sales. To be a member of the Dons Ski Club, students have to pay a S5 membership fee and be a Coronado student in good standing. The S5 fee went towards a discount on trips. The club was chartered in 1975 with 40 members and a good snow year. The club members won trophies at Sunrise and Purgatory ski areas in downhill slalom races. In 1977 Sandy Neddermeyer topped state WOI'1'1eI'I downhill skiers, while the men garnered five bronze medals and four trophies.

Explorer plans to improve All-American class ratin By Jenni Curtis The Explorer newspaper got some new staffers and a new flag to start the year off. Even with the new staffers, the staff was still small which caused them to work even harder to get an issue out. Casey Moore, editor, feels the paper has improved. We're not as afraid as previous staffs to express our own opinions and to let the students on campus express theirs, Moore said. Our sports section has become more interesting and personal, our news has become more complete, and our features more inspired. Of course, we do have a few problems. The newspaper had very little money, which caused delay in publications. The advertising staff was small, so it was hard for them to get money. lt is very difficult for me, after all the work l put into the paper, to see it lying on the ground or in the bottom of some garbage can. But as a responsible periodical, we owe it to the public to continue publishing, stated Moore. Last year's second semester Explorer was rated All-American by the National Scholastic Press Association CNSPAJ from the University of Minnesota.
