From left to right: Ron Lipka, David Aslin, Stuart Fessinger, Wayne Thelander and George Nason. Mr. Lipka is Applauded The dedication and hard work of Mr. Lipka, one of Eldorado's band directors. payed off. The proof was receiving the Albuquerque Distinguished Teacher Award. i His students were pleased that he was awarded the Distinguished Teacher title and they think he's the best! He's married and has a daughter and a son. Mr. Lipka had been teaching at Eldorado for fourteen years out of his twenty six years of directing New Mexico High School musicians. He expected a lot from his students, but he was willing to put the time in for them, said Eldorado senior Jerome Gomez, president of the schooI's student body. He can play all band instruments, but his speciality is the trumpet. He likes jazz and said he would someday like to lead his own jazz band after he retires from teaching. As director of the five Eldorado bands, he has inspired greatness. For example, the Golden Eagle Marching Band was the best performer in the Pageant of the Bands, held in October. He puts a lot of long hours in his career, and this is vitally important. It is not unusual for him to put in a twenty-hour day. ' Eldorado applaudes Mr. Lipka on his well deserved award.
