Senior Hoi 1' Pam Nocerino Having the lead in A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM and being selected the 1979 Homecoming Queen are two of the achievements we will remember Pam Nocerino for. She was selected to the National Honor Society as a junior, and for two years she was a member of Student Government. Pam recalled that her most significant class at Gateway was Enriched English 3 with Mrs. Miron because she made it so interesting and challenging I now want to major in English . Her special friend was Mrs. Cabildo and Pam's loves were drama and music. Performing in local musical groups, giving guitar lessons, and taking lessons from the Actors Workshop of Colorado were some of her outside activities. Pam won the Junior Miss contest for Arapahoe County, and she hopes to attend Lorretta Heights college. Yet, her contribution to our lives was more enduring than just her accomplish- ments. She shared herself, her smile, her commitment, and her cheery moods. ,wi Margaret Slovak A SEPARATE REALITY by Carlos Castaneda might ver well characterize the sensibility of the artist. To be an artist requires a different way of looking at life, a reverence ang awe for life, a separate view of reality, and this characterize Margaret Slovak. Soft spoken but powerful, she described herself as self-motivated, and I am looking for new knowledge an new ways of expressing myself. Performing classical guita compositions, which she had composed, in various classe and at the talent shows was one form of expression fo Margaret. Being one of Gateway's outstanding artists, Margaret was in both Advanced Placement Art and Independent Photo. She was also the president of Photo Club her junio and senior years and of Fine Arts Club as a senior. Margareq intends to go to a small art college to study music theory ang composition, and her other loves of painting an photography. 220 Senior Hall Of Fame
