These activities instill in stu- dents a unity to their school, their teams, and their friends. Extra-curricular activities pro- vide a basic part of education, which cannot be obtained from an academical standpoint. Stu- dents are involved, having fun, and enjoying life today. is royalty provides air of sentimentality Above: During halftime activities, royalty, Kim McDougald, Wanda Starrett, Monette Gramlich, and Kathy Robinson, ride around the field.

The Junior High School Student Council took first place in the float competition. The second place float was the Freshman class float and the senior float was third place. Some new highlights of home- coming were the new bell, which was rung after every touchdown. During the half- time activities at the game, hundreds of helium filled bal- loons were released on the field. Although it was too windy for the bonfire to be lit, the Junior class was responsible for bring- ing the most wood.

Winter Homecoming, 1972, was a bit different than most, although it served its purpose. Royalty was selected in the same manner as in past years, yet the occasion was very casual compared to other Winter Homecomings. Green River Pirates were the rivals of the basketball game, to which the Devils chalked up another victory. Senior basketball players, wrestlers, Pep Club members, and Homecoming Royalty were honored at the halftime activi- ties. Ranell, a band from Price, was featured the following night at the Winter Homecoming Soc- Hop. 25 gym transformed into roman colosseum Come Touch the Sun, the theme for the 1971 Junior Prom, was carried out in the colors orange and yellow.

Some of the responsibilities met were arranging for a dance band, ordering and assembling decorations, getting jackets lined up for the promenade and last, but not least, cleaning up after the big affair was over. 27 organizations Student activity revolves around organized efforts made by the various clubs and organizations of any high school. Although suc- cessful, these activities help the students to get an insight into the realm of social participation. The ideal club offers op- portunities for both lead- ers and followers. It en- ables the shy as well as the bold to take part in a school function. Through the help of mem- bers of the faculty, the clubs fill a slate of varied activities throughout the year. Some are directed toward special segments of the student body while others plan effective op- portunities for all. 30 leaders gain 32 american opportunities Each year six boys and two girls are chosen from the Jun- ior class to attend the annual Boy's State and Girl's State.

An education is something much emphasis is put upon, something that has in a sense become required for a secure position in this rapidly progressing world. A true education is not just memorizing chemistry symbols, or remembering every preposi- tion in alphabetical order, or the exact date of the Civil War. It is learning to think for yourself and the ability to strive for and achieve something you want. 52 C. Robert Sundwall, Superinten- dent of the Grand County School District, holds the key adminis- trative responsibilities for pro- viding an educational program for not only Grand County High School but also two grade schools.

Mrs. Norma Blankenagel, speech and hearing therapist for the school district, is trained to test students for any hearing or speech defects they might have. She has organized a program in the high school to do corrective work in speech.

Mrs. Elva Rae Bennett is in charge of keeping the Vocational Center cleaned, as well as working in the high school. When school began in the fall, many students noticed a new shine and spotless look about the school. During the entire summer the maintenance crews, consisting of Mr. C. A. Weaver, Mrs. Juanita Atwood and Mrs. Bennett worked in the school to clean everything. Cleaning up the gym after games and dances, mopping and waxing floors, washing windows, cleaning desks and picking up trash are the main duties of the custodians, which they can be found doing all times of the day. Mr. Marvin Clever can be rarely found when needed as he is Maintenance Supervisor for all schools in the district. Extra projects tackled by Mr. Clever this year included the setting up of all furniture for the new Vocational Center, remodeling the auto-mechanics room into a wrestling room, and clean- ing out the Home-Ec room for a student lounge project. 69 classes After three years of exten- sive work and activity, the Senior class members are able to look at the world with a new prospective. Al- though not completely sure of their goal in life, at- tempts have been made by each person to establish his individuality. Juniors are a special breed with ideas unmatched by any other class; having had two years to look into several educational and emotional areas, the typical Junior prepares to face his role of leadership. It takes about a quarter of school orientation for Soph- omores to integrate them- selves into high school life. Perceiving what is expected and not expected is one of their most difficult tasks. By the end of the year how- ever, the sophomore molds himself into the high school identification. Leonard Walterscheld leads the Class of '72 this year as President.

John Lindsay Arthur, a Ro- tary exchange student who lived in Moab for one year, has been missed by everyone since his departure. John was a Floating Senior at GCHS. He finished the spring of last year as a Senior and was a senior again this year. He has a full year of school to complete upon returning to Aus- tralia. While here, John took such classes as Advanced Math, Chemistry, Speech II, Physics, and Senior English, maintain- ing an average of 3.5. Lindsay (John's nickname) was an interesting character, to say the least. He could talk about Australia or America or girls or footy, or anything you choose. There's always going to be a memory of John's personality and wit in everyone's mind. Some of John's highlights, while here, included the first pep assembly he attended. John nearly freaked out when he attended it. He said later that he thought, oh my God! Let me out of here. Adding that In Australia we don't have these assemblies, because there are too many sports going on. John also noticed the Boys and girls kissing in the halls, but of course, John came from an all boys school, which he described as there was not much kissing there. But as most girls in the school could tell you, John certain- ly came out of his shell, when it concerned girls. 91 Mr. Hansen served as advisor of the sophomore class.

The hours of practice and performance spent by our athletes indi- cate their determination to win, their desire to have the Devil emblem number one in their field. With barely 350 students, GCHS still has a tremendous ath- letic program, as well as exceptional participation. The coaches easily fill the positions on their squads, and win the cooperation and attention of those who come out. The competition provided by sports brings the player to his peak performance to ob- tain a starting position. Intra-School competition brings a unity to the entire student body, backing the Devils in each contest, in every sport. 98 team cooperation takes Front Row: John Gillespie, Richie Titus, Fred Gay, Jim West, Rex Scharf, Gil McDougald, Dwayne Gwin, Larry Marsing, Gary Perez, Paul Wyatt, Lonnie Hass, Ron Huff, Kim Jen- sen, Mark Raymond.

Boasting an eleven win, one loss, and one tie record the Moab Red Devil football team had quite a bit to brag about. The Red Devils went through the entire preseason and lea- gue competition with only one loss, but even more of an ac- complishment was the fact that the Devil gridders went into the play-off and also came out of them undefeated but with out a position in the state play- offs. In the encounter with the Dixie Flyers, in the semi-final playoffs, the Devils led until the final minutes of play, when the Flyers tied the score at 14 all. The decision of who would go into state play-offs was made by the highest number of total yards made throughout the game, and the Flyers won by some 96 yards. GC HS earned recognition this year for three All-Staters and four players on the first All- Region team and one on the sec- ond. Lenny Walterscheid, Steve Stout, and Ron Huff were se- lected to All-State. Those qual- ifying for Region 6 first team were Vinnie Camberlango, Lonnie Hass, Gil McDougald, and Danny Robinson. Gridder, Gregg Holland made the sec- ond team. 102 Pete Davis FB Ron Huff T All-State Kim Jensen G Rex Scarf T Jim West T 104 fans follow climbing football record Steve Stout attempts a field goal under pressure from opponents defense.

Coach Glen Richeson handles the golf team along with heading the coaching staff of football. Coach Ward Curtis as- sists in football and heads the basketball and baseball teams. Assisting in both football and basketball is Coach Del Ford, who also tackles coaching of track and cross-country. Coach Gene Leonard manages to keep an active wrestling team going. Top Right: Coaches Ward Curtis and Gene Leonard discuss the challenge both their basketball and wrestling team will face during the tournaments held in Moab. Above: Coaches Glen Richeson and Del Ford wonder about possi- bilities for next year's football team. Cross-country, a new activity at GCHS this year, was taken with great enthusiasm by several members of the student- body. Coach Del Ford handled the planning and instructing for the team, and also laid out the track which was encount- ered during the cross-country meets. Competition proved to be tougher than in many sports being that other schools have had cross-country teams in previous years, although the Devils managed to captivate several honors during the season. The cross-country track varied in size from one and a half to three miles long, and was ran on surfaces varying from plush green grass, to surfaces marred by protruding fragments of stone. cross-country adds spice to track program Craig Gerber, Jerry Cowan, Kevin Denny, David Zimmerman, Kurt Blust, Larry Campbell. grapplers host region meet Left: Rex Scharf, 185 pounds; Lonnie Hass, 185 pounds; Middle; Paul Wyatt, 145 pounds; Matt Keogh, 132 pounds; Right: Larry Marsing, Heavyweight; Mike Neal, 165 pounds. no Top: Craig Gerber, 132 pounds; Gary Perez, 138 pounds; Bottom; Mitch Kelling, 119 pounds; Stan Holland, 126 pounds.

Moab took fourth place in the Region Six Meet with state champ Uin- tah copping first. The Moab team finally found a home this year with the con- version of the former shop to a wrestling room. That change is expected to pay dividends in the future. Leading the Moab twelve this year was a truly outstanding senior. Jim White, at 155 pounds, compiled an 18-2 record for Moab and won the third place medal in the state championships. Coach Gene Leonard has sev- eral fine wrestlers returning who gained valuable experi- ence against the best that Utah and Colorado can offer. Gone will be White, Larry Marsing, Ron Huff and Lonnie Hass who contributed to the excellent re- sults of this year. 1 12 successful season highlightec by new practice roon Front row: Billy Partridge, Stan Holland, Randy Bowen, Paul Holyoak, Mike Neal.

The Red Devil's title aspirations came to a halt one game short of the state tournament when the travel weary team lost their final contest. This was not only a good year. It was also a year of promise. Only three cagers, Lenny Walterscheid, Danny Robinson, and Mike Barrett graduate and Steve Wyatt there will be plenty of capable hands to replace them. In addition to starting juniors, Von Isaman and Steve Wyatt, the Devil scoring leaders, Coach Ward Curtis can look to an undefeated junior varsity team mentored by Coach Del Ford. Moab will be playing in a new region next year, but their outstanding record this year will stamp them again as the team to beat. 1 14 Dan Robinson Moab Opponents 49 Millard 46 JV 57 Millard 42 55 Emery 47 JV 62 Emery 49 65 Fruita 54 JV 62 Fruita 35 76 Mancos 67 JV 74 Mancos 32 81 Durango 45 JV 74 Durango 55 59 Montrose 43 JV 53 Montrose 36 71 Altamont 70 58 Unitah 48 82 Green River 49 JV 60 Green River 50 48 Green River 29 48 Monticello 34 JV 46 Monticello 41 65 San Juan 55 JV 69 San Juan 45 65 East Carbon 59 JV 63 East Carbon 40 58 Monticello 50 JV 57 Monticello 43 64 San Juan 65 JV 70 San Juan 51 JV 58 Green River 53 JV 64 East Carbon 54 116 Gene Roberts Eric Daniels Von Isaman junior varsity claims undefeated season Back row: John Zimmerman, Mike Steele, Calvin Oliver, Jerry Front row: Kevin Hansen, Vinnie Camberlango, Coach Cowan, Kevin McFarland, Stan Baker, Ronnie Vloslch, Mike VVal- Del Ford, Gene Roberts, and Pete Davis, terscheld, Alan West. One thing a team needs if it is going to be good is a strong junior varsity to back it up ant to take over in future years. This year's TV Basketball team was one of the finest, with a record of 14-0 and this consisted of some very tough teams. Pete Davis, Kevin Hansen, Robert Goodspeed,Gene Roberts, Vinnie Camberlango, and Mike Steele made up the most important part of the team. Coack Del Ford had the re- sponsibility of helping these boys and boosting their spirit. Statistician, Alan West talks to coach. linksters participate in region tournament Though not as brutal as many sports, golf keeps its place in GCHS's interest. The local links attracted a number of Devils this year giving us a strong team. Headed by Coach Glen Richeson, the golfing team hosted local contendors as well as traveling to meet such opponents as Durango, Cortez, and Grand Junction. The Devils also hosted the Region VI Tournament, bringing to Moab the best golfers from both the Southern and Northern region. 118 Ronnie Vloslch and Kent Beach polish golf clubs in preparation for the region tournament. relay team takes state honors 1972 is expected to another banner year for track and field athletes wearing the red and white of Moab. The team will lack depth in field events, but has some quality perform- ers who rank high in the state. Moab is noted for state cham- pionship mile relay teams and this year is no exception. A quartet of Lenny Walterscheid, Steve Stout, Danny Robinson, and Gregg Holland has already upset three of Utah's biggest schools and is sighting in on a fourth straight state title.

Those two events are espe- cially strong with Kurt Blust and Kevin Hansen backing Holland and Stout and Walter- scheid adding great power to the long jump. Von Isaman gave Moab a qual- ity high jumper and adds strength in the hurdles. Moab is blessed with several ath- letes who compete in a num- ber of events.

Baseball has come back to the Devils. The 1971 season o- pened the diamond sport with an excellent first year record of 5 wins and 3 losses. Coach Ward Curtis led the Devils through the season to meet Uintah in the playoffs. The Devils lost by only one point to the Utes who were the state champions last year. During the regular season, the Devils defeated the State second place team, Emery, twice. Coach Ward Curtis was opti- mistic about the 1972 season, having a number of returning lettermen. exchange students arrive for year’s stay Graeme Jackson, from Warragul, Victoria, Aus- tralia, and Wendy Brownlie, from Feilding, New Zealand, are shown above discussing their re- cent arrival in Moab. Both students will be mem- bers of the senior class of GCHS for the coming year. The exchange students are chosen in their home towns to live overseas for one year with Rotary families. 123 advertisements The yearbook would not be pos- sible without the support of the local merchants. The students pay for their yearbooks, but this money alone, is not nearly enough to pay for the entire cost of the publishing of the book. Therefore, the yearbook staff would like to thank all of the townspeople for their support and encourage all students to patronize these advertisers. 124 3f we work upon marble, it will perish; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; if on brass, time will efface it; but if we work upon immortal minds, and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.
