eclimfion Norman Kwik Probably the busiest man at South High is Mr. Norman Kurtz, who, in one Way or another, comes into contact with every person in the school. Coming from a generation of native Den- verites, Mr. Kurtz graduated from South in 1940. While at South, he was very active in football and basketball. In his senior year he was award- ed a gold football for his excellent performance as an end. After his graduation, he attended Colorado University for two years. His schooling was inter- rupted, however, when he entered the service. He acted as a weatherman for the Army-Air Force division during the war. Serving in this capacity, he was stationed in China and also had the opportunity to travel around the world. Returning to Denver, Mr. Kurtz went to Denver University where he earned both a Bachelor's and a Masters degree. He then went to Byers Junior High School, where he was a teacher of science for five years. ln l96l, his first year at South, he taught biology and then was made head of the newly established IBM department. South was one of the first high schools to convert to the IBM rnethod of grading and counseling, Mr. Kurtz was a pioneer in this transition. He accepted the challenge, and the new system has proved to be successful because of his efforts. In his position of programing di- rector, he plans and co-ordinates the schedules of all the students and teachers. Mr. Kurtz spends much of his leisure time working as president ofthe Schoolmasters Guild for l965. Last year he was the treasurer of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association. He is also a member of both the Colorado Educational Association and the National Classroom Teachers Association. To relax, he golfs, fishes, hunts, and reads. He especially enioys being sponsor of the Bowling Clubs and has devoted much of his time to helping students develop their bowling skills. Mr. Kurtz is one of the few people at South whose work affects the entire school. His happy, iovial manner makes him easy to work with, and his consideration for each individual draws the respect of everyone. For your devotion to the teaching profession, for your proficiency in programing pupils and teachers alike, and, most of all, for your interest in students as individuals, we dedicate to you, Mr. Kurtz, the T965 Johnny Reb.
