Grand County High School - Mograndah Yearbook (Moab, UT)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1970 volume:

ELEMENTS What are the elements of life? They are different things to different people; but some are evident to all of us. Sky, rocks, and water show signs of primitive times. Our area is filled with petroglyphs, Indian writings, and other evidences that life was here in our area millions of years ago. We know that throughout the progression of time civilization took its course with the building of farms and ranches around the fertile Moab valley. Early settlement of a town began in the late 1800's which has grown into an established community of about 6500. OF LIFE Elements contained in Grand County High School provide educational living with an opportunity to learn and to participate and excel—not only in academic work, but in sports, music, drama, literary areas, and art. Grand County High School students and faculty rank among the top in the nation. Moab community life provides the best in education, business opportunities, scenic attractions, recreational areas, and religious centers. There is ample for all to enjoy. There are ample opportunities to progress in school and civic areas in relation to the effort demonstrated by the individual. And there are ample social activities which are available to all from the very young to the elderly. Basic elements of life such as food, clothing, and shelter are incorporated with others to meet the needs of every individual. Our student body is really wierd. They peer through the trees in search of answers to the mysteries of life. The undesired elements they eliminate with supersonic strength. When this is done they pause for refreshments from a blue Shasta cola can. They study the bushes for unknown inhabitants of the desert. They study the sky for signs of unidentified flying objects. They spend a great deal of time and money for food to revitalize their bodies, and then sit for hours staring into space dreaming about the future. Another substantial amount of time is spent working on steel motor vehicles in order to develop an efficient means of transportation. This year the school honors its choice for Mr. and Miss GCHS, Steve Robinson and Cindy Roberts. These students represent the spirit of GCHS. Active in sports and other school activities, they are examples of dedicated Red Devils. Mr. and Miss GCHS are nominated each year by the Seniors and then voted upon by the entire studentbody. Steve has been active in many school functions. He participates in football, basketball, and track. He is also active in Interact and Lettermen Club, in which he holds the office of president. Cindy dedicates her time to being Pep Club president and yearbook editor. She is also active in FHA, Vesuvius, and Ski Club. 8 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Lita Stalcup, Diny Foy, Don Taylor, Roberts, Steve Boyden, Linda Dowd, Janel McDougald, Sherry Oliver, Mrs. Foy (Advisor), Cindy Pam Bailey. Students who achieve high academicly and who are most likely to succeed are chosen by the faculty to belong in Honor Society. With goals of leader- ship, scholarship, citizenship, character and service, the members of this club are recognized as the potential leaders of the future. In recognition of the outstanding students in GCHS the society sponsored the annual Honor Society Initiation Assembly where new members were announced and a banquet was sponsored afterwards in honor of the new members. Sharon Patterson, President; Merlene Day, Secretary-Treasurer; Dennis Bailey, Vice President. F.H.A. Dare To Care and Make Time Work For You were the themes of the Future Homemakers of America this year. In October members enjoyed a spagetti dinner at the first night meeting. Funds were used to give a basket of food to a needy family for Thanksgiving. Members and their dates enjoyed a night caroling at the annual hayride at Christmas. In February, FHA co-sponsored the Sweet- hearts Ball. To climax the year FHA'ers attended the State FHA Convention in Salt Lake.

MOGRANDAH IS YOUR ENVIRONMENT Giving up Mom's cooking, a warm bed, and a few weekend dates all went into the making of the 1970 MOGRANDAH. The weeks before deadlines were spent laying out pages, and writing headings and captions for pictures. Saturday afternoons were spent going from store to store selling advertisements to help finance the book, and Sundays were spent up in the hills taking pictures. This year's MOGRANDAH proved to be different from any past year with two natural color pages and six pages of spot color. Kevin Anderson, Lynn Brechtel, Cindy Walterscheid, Randy Sackerson, Jhonnie Wilson, Mrs. Donoghue, advisor. David Adkison, Jean Ann Shatley, John Gaither, Don Williams, Danny Buckingham, Alvin Swensen, Alan Norton, Danny Robinson, Steve Boyden, Kim McDougald, Janel McDougald, Randy Sackerson, Jim Dickerson, Marilyn Luhrs. Every two weeks the Sage staff makes it possible to have a school paper to place in the newspaper stands in the halls. Meeting a dead- line entails such things as the writing, proofreading, typing, and laying out of stories; and taking pictures and interviewing people. Through the efforts of editor, Sherry Oliver, and her staff, the 1968-1969 Sage received a first place International Award from Quill and Scroll for excellence in its catagory. Sherry Oliver, Editor SAGE ISON THE SCENE. TIMES INDEPENDENT One of the main objectives of the journalism publications class is to provide the communi- ty with news about high school events and personalities. One of the ways this was accomplished was by including a page of GCITS news in the Time Inde- pendent each week. David Adkinson, Jean Ann Shatley, Terry McKinnon, Marc Pinkerton, Diana Foy, Randy Sackerson Kevin Anderson, Betty Gordon, Marianne Bowthorpe, Pam Larsen, (Editor), Dennis Bailey EXPRESSION Expression 70 is full of original art work and creative writing by the students of GCHS. This magazine, published annually features poetry, short stories, and art work. For the first time this year a literary magazine was published featuring the work of grade school pupils. Marc Pinkerton, Rick Hirschfeld, Don Williams, Mr. Donoghue (Advisor) DEVIL'S PROSPECTIVE A fairly recent addition to the journalism program at GCHS, Devil's Perspective, is a television program aired twice a week which informs the community of the activities at GCHS. Different personalities are interviewed by host, Don Williams. FORENSICS SPONSOR 1970 REGION MEET Russ Donoghue, Advisor; Randy Sackerson, Marc Pinkerton, Keven Johnson, John Snow, Don Williams, Lynn Brechtel; Jhonnie Wilson, Sherry Oliver, and Linda Dowd Forensics is a class for Speech II students. The class is divided into two main groups—debate and oratory, and work in their respective areas. During the year, the speech students travelled to various meets around the state. In February, they attended the CEU Invitational Meet at Price, the Alpine Invitational in Orem, and the Weber Invitational at Ogden. March brought the Region 6 Forensics meet which was held at GCHS and the Region 6 Drama meet in Notre Dame. Those winning at the Region meets attended the state meets held at BYU. 18 New at GCHS this year, the Ski Club oroved to be a welcome addition to the school's numerous clubs. The club got off to a great start by selling Grand County High decals to go on cars.

During the football season, they performed with the drill team at half-time and marched in the Homecoming parade. Throughout the year, their tunes added to the pep club's cheers. The band travelled to the Region 6 Band Contest held in the Spring. 22 Bruce Negley and Verna Foy Every band needs a leader to function. This year the band was under the direction of Mr. Bruce Negley who returned to GCHS from a one-year absence. Miss Verna Foy was drum majorette for the band. An extra attraction during the band's performances is that of twirlers Jeannie Steels and Darla Eddy. During the band's numbers these two girls perform routines with batons. Jeannie Steele and Darla Eddy Determined Pep Clubers Strengthened Spirit.

Behind every great team there is a great group of girls. These were the girls behind GCHS's Red Devils during the 69-70 year. During the games and assemblies they yelled in support of the team. This year's Pep Club was the largest one GCHS has had in many years. In October, the Devilettes sponsored Homecoming, and for a money-making project Devil license plates were sold. 24 Advisor Joyce Ossana Pam Whitney, Tonya Scorzato, Pam Bailey, Terry Oviatt, Chris McClatchy, Jenifer Jones, Jhonnie Wilson, Debbie Arehart, Pam McFarland, Claudia Miller, Janet Galbraith, Charlotte Dickerson, Charlotte Toothman, Marsha Leonard, Vicki Barker, Sandy Hirschfeld, Bonnie Henderson PRACTICE AND CREATION PROVED REWARDING FOR DRILL TEAM. Half-time activities would not be the same without this select group of girls. Selection of girls was based upon appearance, marching, and coordination. It is composed of 20 girls, 16 regulars and 4 alternates. During half-time and assemblies they did original drills and routines under the supervision of Tonya Scorzato, Drill Mistress; Sharon Patterson, Assistant Drill Mistress; and Mrs. Ossana, Sponsor. Many hours of practice each week made the drill team one that GCHS could be proud of. Jhonnie Wilson, Historian; Tonya Scorzato, Vice President; Sandra Bastian, Sargeant-of-Arms; Marilyn Luhrs, Secretary; Donna Mobley, Treasurer; and Cindy Roberts, Presi- dent. VARSITY CHEERS ON Much of the school spirit was due to varsity cheerleaders MoNcne Nordfelt, Ginger A re hart, Diana Foy, Cindy Walterscheid, and Lynn Brechtel. They led the studentbody in cheers during assemblies and games. Varsity cheerleaders tried out in front of the school in the spring and were voted upon by the studentbody. During the summer they practiced and made up routines and cheers. MASCOT STRIKES AGAIN. . . Mascot, Dana Nordfelt, represents the spirit of GCHS. Dressed in the traditional Devil uniform, she helps to boost school spirit. For the first time, this year the mas- cot was chosen in the spring with the Varsity cheerleaders. Jr. Varsity cheerleaders, Cindy Stengel, Sharlene Wiggins, and Connie Brewer, led the cheering at the Jr. Varsity games. These girls, chosen in the fall by the en- tire studentbody, assisted the Varsity cheerleaders in routines and assemblies. J.V. JOIN THE ACTION. . 27 THESPIANS PERFORM . . . Dana Nordfelt, Liz Whitney, Vicki Gentry, Becky Ottinger, Jhonnie Wilson, Bill Gentry, and William Pipkin Thespians is a club for drama students who have met the requirements set by the National Thespian Society. To be a member, a student must have had 1000 lines memorized and have worked for 100 hours on scenery and other hours of production. During the year the Thespians, along with other drama students, helped in the production of plays put on for the public. Students are judged by National Thespian judges and the plays arc given ratings. The National Thespian Society also awards scholarships to those students who excel in drama. In the Spring, installation was held to install the new Thespian members. This was a formal event held at Star Hall for Thespians and invited guests. 28 SCHOOL BOARD J.G. Pinkerton, President; Marge Tomsic, Vice-President School Board members are interested citizens of the conmunity who devote their time and effort for the betterment of Grand County School District's school age children. Close contact is kept with state departments to insure a correlation of Grand County's ed- ucational system with that of others around the state. Robert A. Dalton, Member Earl Blank, Member; Elmer Dravage, Clerk SUPERINTENDENT AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Mr. C. Robert Sundwall In trying to meet the demands of an ever growing com- munity with an increasing school enrollment, Superintendent C. Robert Sundwall and Assistant Superintendent Bill Meador worked closely with the School Board for the betterment of the stude ntbody. Rules and regulations followed by the students of Grand County were made by the Superintendent and School Board. They cooperated with Utah State University on a study for a model education system in this area of the state. They have also been instrumental in securing a Continuing Education Center which offered college courses to the community. An- other project was the designing of a vocational education complex which is to be completed within the next year. INVOLVEMENT, ADJUSTMENT, GUIDANCE- A PRINCIPAL Principal, Leland Teeples In this time of constant change, a principal needs to be able to adjust to the students and surroundings. He has to have a firm grip on the students and deal with problems with an open mind. Mr. Teeples worked along with students and was mostly in charge of seeing to it that rules were observed. He established a dress code for students to follow. One major change established was the qualifications for graduation. Students now receive credit that can be applied toward graduation for only classes taken in the 10-12 grades. 32 BEHIND THE SCENES AND IN THE OFFICE. Two familiar faces at GCHS are those of Mrs. Jeanette Mikesell and Mrs. Palma Jacobs. Without these two, the office could not function. Mrs. Mikesell, secretary at GCHS, runs the office, takes care of absentees, sends computer cards for data processing, orders supplies and takes care of the mail. Mrs. Mikesell has worked as secretary for eight years; six were spent at the Jr. High and the last two years have been spent at GCHS. Mrs. Jacobs is the bookkeeper for GCHS. It is her duty to keep the books, balance accounts, send out the monthly statements, and help type the budget. She worked with the clubs in their activities and money-making projects; and helps them budget their funds. This is Mrs. Jacobs' second year at GCHS. 33 Janet Galbraith, Keven Lange, Lynn Brechtel, John West, Merlene Day, Jean Ann Shatley, and Jane Mattingly Office staff members and teacher's aides are an important part of GCHS. Many of the everyday duties are handled by them; such as answering the phone, delivering messages, typing, and correcting test for the teachers. Mrs. Maurine White, Mrs. Charlotte Nelson A vital part of any school is the English De- partment. Students are taught the fundamental parts of the English lan- guage and develope an understanding of novels, short stories, poetry and drama. Sophomore English is taught by Mrs. Francis Foy. Mrs. Eula Griffin is in charge of Jr. English, Humanities, Latin, Word Study, and Speech I. New to GCHS this year is Mr. Ernest Cline, who heads the French and German Departments. He also teaches Jr. English. One of the requirements for a student to graduate is Sr. English, which is taught by Mr. Val Maughan. ENGLISH Francis Foy, Eula Griffin, Ernest Cline I Val Maughan HISTORY Allen McMullen and Don Robinson Meeting the daily challenge of presenting World and U.S. History to members of the studentbody are two gentlemen ded- icated to creating a different approach to standard subjects. Mr. Allen McMullen adds variety to his day with the teach- ing of Psychology and Sociology, as elective courses, as well as World History. Students in World History learn not only a- bout the past history of the world, but how to apply the know- ledge to their daily lives. American History and American Problems are taught by Mr. Don Robinson. In American History, students study the history of the U.S. from the founding of America to present times. American Problems focus on the problems of America today. 36 LIBRARY AND DRIVER'S ED One thing every student looks forward to is getting his driver's license. Mr. Del Ford is the man who makes this wish come true. Much of his time is spent driving around with students and teaching them the fundamentals of driving. Besides instructing students in driver's ed- ucation, he also teaches boys' P. E. Students at GCHS can be proud of their library. Thanks to the efficiency of its librarian, Mrs. Marion Halloway, students found it a place where they could study and make use of the reference materials. Students are required to take a Fine Arts class from the many offered at GCHS. Drama and Chorus are two such courses taught by Mr Wendall Bowthorpe. Students in Drama are taught the fundamentals of the theatre with emphasis on acting, stage scenery, make-up, and lighting. Mr. Bruce Negley directs the GCHS marching band. Throughtout the year they performed in half-time activ- ities, concerts, and parades. Del Ford and Marion Halloway FINE ARTS Wendall Bowthorpe and Bruce Negley In high school we learn the basic skills for future vocations. Welding and auto mechanics are taught by Wayne Winters. Typing, shorthand I, bookkeeping, and bus- iness machines are under the direction of Mrs. Leslie Bingham. Mrs. Ann Fincher teaches home econom- ics and home living courses. Mrs. Marj Donoghue is in charge of journalism, simu- lated office practice, and shorthand I and II. Business law, mechan- ical drawing, consumer math, and boys' P.E. are taught by Coach Glen Richeson. Wayne Winters, Leslie Bingham, Ann Fincher, Marj Donoghue, Glen Richeson VOCATIONAL Coach Ward Curtis instructs students in general math. He also teaches boy's P.E. Commercial art is under the direction of Gary Guymon. He also teaches voca- tional science, geometry, physics, and biology. Television is very important to our school. Throughout the year, Mr. Russ Donoghue and his TV research class, air special programs to students and tape Devil's Perspective over the educational channel. Ward Curtis, Russell Donoghue, Gary Guymen SCIENCE AND MATH Ted Tibbetts and Gene Leonard 39 Joyce Ossana PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical fitness is essential. Through the physical education department, students are taught various skills with emphasis on team sports. Mrs. Joyce Ossana is in charge of the girls' physical education department. She also teaches health which focuses on the mechanisms of the body and their functions. In dealing with problems of budgeting and financing, a student needs a basic understanding of mathematics. Mr. Gene Leonard teaches Algebra I and II; Trigonometry; Solid Geometry; and Advanced Math. Mr. Leonard is also student council ad- visor. Mr. Ted Tibbetts instructs students in Biol- ogy, Chemistry, and Geology. COUNSELORS Talking with stu- dents about education- al, social, and emo- tional problems took up much of the coun- selors' time. They al- so made schedule changes, filled college and employment appli- cations, and made out a major schedule for both classes and stu- dents. Lil McCormick Norma Blackenagel Speech therapist for GCHS, Mrs. Norma Blankenagel, is qualified to test for hearing and speech defects. She is also trained to do corrective work in speech, for which she has organized a program to help people with their speech problems. Calvin Hansen SPEECH THERAPIST GCHS is proud of its assistants. Many long hours are spent each night after school and on weekends mopping and waxing floors, washing windows, and cleaning desks. When you come to school every day and see the clean school be thankful that we have efficient assistants to keep GCHS a school we can be proud of. ASSISTANTS Elected in the spring to govern the school, studentbody officers are a vital part of G.C.H.S. Throughout the 1969-70 school year they aided Mr. Teeples. Selling of G.C.H.S. phone book, and the Sub for Santa program were a few of the main projects of the studentbody officers. Steve Boyden heads the class of ’70 as President. Other officers are Liz Whitney, Vice President; Tonya Scorzato, Secretary- Treasurer; and William Pipkin and Pam McFarland, Representatives. Mrs. Donoghue was the Senior Advisor. Throughout their last year they led their class in all activi- ties. By coincidence, Mrs. Donoghue and Steven Boyden worked together during the class of '70's Freshman year; Mrs. Donoghue as Advisor and Steve as President.

A climax to tneir 12 years of schooling was accomplished as more than one hun- dred graduates received their diplomas on May 29. Graduation was an end to the happy school days for the class of '70 at Grand County High School, but a beginning to their fives as adults. Marsha Leonard, President, and her all female officer staff led the Jr. class in its activities throughout the year. Carolyn Johnson held the office of Vice-President; Brenda Brake, Secre- tary-Treasurer; and Janet Galbraith and Sandra Bastian, repre- sentatives. Mr. Ted Tibbetts was advisor for the class.

Sadie Hawkins was sponsored in November and the Jr. Prom in April. In October the Jr. Class worked many nights putting together their float for Homecoming. These efforts paid off for the class took 1st place. 66 Juniors can be serious, sometimes. They use their time wisely and get down to work. On the other hand, some of them just can't seem to sit down and study. The Junior lettermen find time from their busy schedules to goof off and live it up off the field. 67 Juniors think ahead to the future. They realize that in another year or so they will be responsible adults and have to have a trade. Still students must take time to relax and enjoy them- selves. They manage to slip in a giggle now and then and have fun. JR. PROM CO-CHAIRMEN A Time For Us was the theme of the 1970 Jr. Prom. This dance, held annually in the spring, is one of the biggest dances of the year. Prom Co-Chairmen were Rick Hirschfeld and Pam Whitney. Many long hours of work went into the production of the 1970 Jr. Prom. Through the ideas and ingenuity of these two Juniors, the prom was a success. 69 Ross Newman, President of the Class of '72, thinks his class is excellent.

A hallo ween Dance was held Hallow- een night for the student body. To end the year, the Sophomores sponsored the annual Sophomore Swing, which was the biggest Sophomore dance of the year. 77 When the Class of '72 came over from the Junior High they brought spirit and enthusiasm with them. Sometimes, though, when there is nothing to do they stand around and give funny looks to funny people. They sit for long hours dreaming of the future and looking over the activities of the past year. Throughout the year, the skills acquired will help in future years. Who knows, even boys might like to be secretaries. MIGUEL Last year a new face was added to GCHS. This face belonged to Miguel Bonavita. Miguel came to the United States from Rarauch, Argentina as part of the Rotary Student Exchange Program. Miguel's stay was sponsored by the Moab Rotary. While here Miguel attended school and carried the entire load. Miguel participated in school activities and was the type that made many friends. While in Moab, Miguel stayed with the J. G. Pinkertons and the Harley Johnsons. Throughout the year spent in Moab, Miguel has visited nine states and Canada. He has seen the Canyonlands, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Grand Teton and the Waterton Lakes in Canada. When Miguel returned to his home in Argentina, he left behind many friends and was missed by all. 'SOMEWHERE MY LOVE' John Snow, Diana Foy Prom Co-Chairmen JUNIOR PROM '69 Eight months of preparation for the biggest dance of the year was climaxed as Somewhere My Love was presented at the 1969 Junior Prom. The class of 1970 dedicated the Prom to Mrs. Helen M. Knight in tribute to her many contributions to the Moab com- munity . Music was provided by the Skin Company from Salt Lake City. 82 The ordinary appearance of the high school gym was transformed into a gigantic ballroom. White plastic was draped from roof to floor with French windows on the sidewalls. Love seats with white pillars were arranged around the gym. The highlight of the evening was the promenade by the Juniors. Following the dance, Juniors and their dates attended a breakfast served at the Elks Club. Sophomore Attendent, Cindy Robinson, Junior Attendent, Terry Oviatt; Queen, Ginger Arehart; Senior Attendent, Pam McFarland One of the greatest honors a girl can have in high school is being a Homecoming Queen or Attendent. Candidates were nominated at the beginning of the Homecom- ing week by the football players. The Queen was selected from the Senior class and was flanked with an Attendent from each of the three classes. During the week, the Queen and her attendents reigned over all the Homecoming activities. 85 Tuesday, the candidates for Queen and at- tendents were announced and interviewed before the student body by Master of Ceremonies, Russ Donoghue. Afterwards, these girls were voted upon by the student body. Tuesday night, the annual football banquet for football players and their dates was held and the 1969 Homecoming Royalty was announced. Royalty was honored in the eyes of the student body on Thursday in a special Queen's Assembly. During tins time, the Queen was crowned and the Royalty was presented with red and white roses from flower bearers. During the parade, they rode on the Royalty float, built by the GCHS Dcvilettes Pep Club. One of the traditions of Homecoming is the parade down Main Street. At this time, each class presented its float representing the theme Those Were The Days. These were judged on originality and during half- time the winners were announced. The parade also featured the football players, band, Junior and Senior High Pep Clubs and Drill teams, cheerleaders, and other entries con- tributed by the community. Those Were The Days When The Devils Touch Down was the theme of the class of '71 float, which was awared $15 for 1st place. J First Place Second Place The Class of '70 was awarded fourth place for its entry, Those Were The Days When Devils Disrupted the Irish. Many hours were spent in the construction of these floats in preparation for Homecoming Parade. After school hours and evenings were spent shaping chicken wire and stuffing napkins; trying to make the float look its best. When the floats were tom down after Homecoming Week was over, the only thing that remained was memories. Fourth Place Ten dollars was awarded to the 2nd place winner, the Class of '72 for their float, Those Were the Days When Every Grain of Sand Meant Death To a Beaten Irish. Grand County Junior High's float, Were Those The Days? was awarded 3rd place, which included a fee of $5. Homecoming would not be complete without the snake dance and bonfire held before the game. The snake dance began at Center Street and winded across town to the high school. The GCHS Mascot, Dana Nordfelt, led the dance; as well as lit the bonfire. Half-time activities were provided by the GCHS Marching Band and the Devilettes Drill Team. During half-time, the Royalty was in- troduced and the Senior football players present- ed vests to their fathers. One addition to the day's activities was the alumni tea, sponsored by the Student Council for all graduates of GCHS. Friday brought the conclusion to Homecom- ing activities as couples danced to the tunes of the Blue Crystals at the Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the pep club. This year's dance was dedicated to the class of '67. At one end of the gym a giant book was made which featured the themes of the past four Homecomings. As the Royalty's reign came to an end, they received a final tribute as they danced a special number with their dates. SADIE HAWKINS- BIG SUCCESS One of the highlights in the fall is the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance sponsored by the Junior Class. This dance adopted from the L'il Abner and Daisy Mae comic strip give the girls a chance to catch the boys. Throughout the evening couples danced in hillbilly fashion to the Blue Crystal from Price. Reigning over the affair were the class of '70's candidates, MoNcnc Nordfelt and Jeff White. Daisy Mae-NoMene Nordfelt 89 L'il Abner-Jeff White Pam McFarland and Dan Buckingham, Snowball Co-Chairmen, put in many hours of hard work in selecting committees and preparting for the nights festivities. SENIORS LAST- CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION The Senior Snowball in December climaxed the 1969 school year. Throughout the evening couples danced under blue lights to the music of the Silver Hill from Grand Junction. The Gym was transformed into a winter wonderland with flocked silver Christmas tree and a crystal ball in the cen- ter. Afterwards, Seniors and their dates enjoyed a midnight breakfast.

Due to the efforts of Coach Glen Richeson, As- sistant Coach Ward Curtis, and Lineman Coach Del Ford, the Moab Red Devils had a very impressive season, which included the Region 6, Class A championship. During Coach Richeson’s 11 years of coaching, the Red Devils have won 50 games, lost 41 and tied 3. They have been Region Champions 4 years, won semi-finals 2 times, and taken second place in the state Class B competition once.

Ford Coach Del Ford and Coach Ward Curtis CAGER COACHES AND MANAGERS Terry McKinnon and Warren Domenick Winter would not be the same without basketball. The two just go together. Varsity coach for GCHS's so-called pumpkin-pounders is Ward Curtis. Many hours are spent every week in preparation for the game. This year's cagers played 16 games which included 10 league games during the 1969-70 season. In his second year as Junior Varsity coach, Del Ford, has given the CCHS cagers encourage- ment and spirit to win. He works out with the Junior Varsity team and prepares them for Varsity basketball. Behind the scenes of the CCHS basketball team is Warren Domenick and statistician, Robin Groff. Robin aides the coach in taking down statistics throughout the games to help the coach- es work out plays and keep records. Warren is responsible for taking care of equipment and helping the team. VARSITY This year's basket- ball practice was divi- ded into two sessions with the varsity and junior varsity practicing at different times. This gives each team a chance to work up their plays and get together. During the season, the varsity was striving for success. It's a well-known fact that practice makes perfect. So, these boys practice every night after school to gain experience needed to win a basketball game. J. V. basketball gives those boys who don't qualify for var- sity a chance to par- ticipate in the sport and gain experience. JUNIOR VARSITY 104 MATMEN ENDURED THROUGH STRENGTH. . .

Led by co-captains, Jim Keogh and Eric Nelson, the grapplers finished the year with an impressive record. Throughout the season, the grapplers partici- pated in various matches and tournaments. In season matches, the team brought home wins against all of their opponents in Southern Region 6. At the Monticello Invitational in November, the Devils brought home top honors. Coach Gene Leonard is a vital part of the Red Devil wrestling team. During his 13 years of coaching, he has seen wrestling develop in Moab, both in team members and spectators. His team now has come a long way from his first team of just 3 members.

This, however, does not mean that there isn't a need for a coach. A coach is an essential part of the squad. He must boost the moral of the team. Coach Del Ford provides this boost in moral. Through his help, the team is able to climb to victory. Bruce Davidson, manager, helps the boys to get lined-up before events and sees to it that everything gets off to a good start. Straining lungs, thuds of the shotput, and practice jumps and falls went into making the 1970 devil track squad. The 1969 thinclads placed first in the Mesa College Meet, first in the Moab Invitational Meet, and fourth in the Snow College Meet. The highest honors for the 1968-69 squad was the winning of the Region 6 track championship and placing 2nd in state competition in Class B finals. 110 R. Knight, D. Biorschicd, S. Robinson, D.

Adkison 112 ALLSTATE TRACK Jeff Cowan, Steve Robinson, and Robert Knight Three outstanding GCHS tracksters are Jeff Cowan, Steve Robinson, and Robert Knight. All three have chalked up an impressive record throughout their 3 years in track. For three years they have run together in the Mile Relay Team which took 2nd and 1st in the 1968 and 1969 State Class B Competition, respectively. In 1968 they lost out for the championship by only inches. Another interesting fact is that these boys have been running together since 8th grade. Jeff Cowan placed 2nd at the BYU Invitational, 1st in Region Six competition, and 3rd in state competition in the mile during 1968. In 1969 he took 1st at the BYU Invitational and 1st at the Region Six track competition in the mile. , „ , . „ __ _ _ ....

Sixteen boys went our for this sport, including a few who had never played before. The boys, under the direction of Coach Glen Richeson, practiced every night after school at the Maob Golf Course. Five boys were chosen to participate in the tournament with other schools. In the meets, these five golfers played 18 holes of golf. When the play was completed, the four lowest scorers from each team were added together to reach a total score. In March, the Devils hosted the Moab Invitational Golf Tournament in Region competition; the golfers placed 3rd. Coach Glen Richeson • -a Gary Livingston and Orville Kemper GOLFERS TEED OFF. . .
