fTlDGRHNDHH Grand County High School 1982 Volume 62 2 Table of Contents Will your next teacher be a computer? Will your children take a space shuttle to school? During the 50’s and 60’s space travel reached a peak in American’s eyes encouraged by the Russian satellite sput- nik and later United States launched the first Apollo to the moon. July 1969 a moon walk became a reality. When Neil Armstrong took the first step for man kind. During the 70’s an-anticlimax in space interest took place. But when the 80’s hit, perhaps the most inspiring sight many Americans saw was the liftoff of the space shut- tle Columbia on April, 1981. This generation has the oppor- tunity and the technology to reach beyond our world-to see, the astounding discoveries and beautiful rings of the Jupiter system transmitted by the voyager exploration. Mankind now looks in the stars for his future. By Lisa Avery 4 Theme i Vud ni m Students Survive Another Year Who was the tenth President of the United States? What are the meanings of avoirdupois and quinquennial? How many millimeters are there in 3985 micrometers? Why is Mr. Leonard's hair gray? How many red-hots does it take to fill a six gallon can? What was the last movie President Ronald Reagan starred in? When and where was Ulysess S. Grant, eighteenth President of the United States, born? Very few students know the answers to all of the above questions, but all the students reading this book have one thing in common. They have all survived another year of school. For the seniors the next ques- tion is: Are you going to go to college?

Lisa Did Rhonda Drumhell Representatives Middlemen, Figureheads What is the purpose of having student body of- ficers? Are they just figure-heads? Terri Zook, student body vice-president, said. The student body officers are to represent the students as a whole. Yvette Looney, student body president, said. The student body officers are middlemen between the students and the administration. Mr. Tatton said that the student body officers shouldn't be thought of as figure-heads. He also said. Suggestions from the Student Council I consider very seriously, and they carry weight with me. They let me know what the students want. The student body officers are the ones responsible for planning and coordinating dances, organizing assemblies and homecomings. By Jerry Croasmun 17 18 Sa J«e Hawkins Sadie Hawkins Brings in $$$ for Junior Prom SADIE HAWKINS The Sadie Hawkins dance held November 6 1981, was a big moneymaking project for the juniors to support their Junior Prom held April 3. The dance had many popular activities which in- cluded marryin' Sam, Ron Pierce, who gave many girls the chance to tie the knot with their favorite guy. Another activity was the jail that helped the juniors raise a good part of their funds. A team made up of Al Heaton and Bruce Burningham pos- ing as Sheriff captured the wild outlaws throughout the night. Pictures were taken by Georgia Hamblin against a scenic background. By Terri, Trisha, Lisa Sad Hawkins 19 Jack and His Asses Visit Grand High Donkey Basketball Here at G.C.H.S. we have had some unusual things happen, but the most, unusual was definitely donkey basketball which took place in our gym on February 1. 1982. Mr. Glen Richeson, drafting and first aid teacher, thought of and ar- ranged the whole crazy thing. There were chills and spills as the game roared on with the point spread not reaching over 4 points. At the beginning of the game it was broom and shovel time for Clifford Gilliland whose donkey had a little accident. “If it wasn't for the donkeys the students wouldn't ever of won. It was very successful and the money went towards the atheltic programs.'' said Mr. Richeson. If you're wondering about the floors, the donkeys wore rubber heeled shoes. At the end of the game the score was 22-18 with the students defeating the faculty. With no hard feelings the game was over, and the donkeys went on their way.

The purpose of Winter homecoming is to honor the seniors who have participated in different activities throughout high school. There was an assembly held on January 27. to present the Royalty and honor the seniors. The assembly was a very big success with many touching moments. The Red Devils hosted the Emery Spartans on January 28. and lost a heartbreaker by one point. Left: Royalty and their escorts. Middle Left: Rhonda Drumheller. Middle Right: Lorri Ben- nett.

Ron Pierce, and Tim Lawton Red Devils End Season With 4-5 Record Coach Bruce Burningham was very pleased with the performance of our ‘81-‘82 football team, which ended the year with a 4-5 record. “The team was small in numbers and size, but big in heart and performance, and they were very young and in- experienced but believed in themselves and believed that they could win. And this will continue to improve their program,” said Coach Bruce Burningham, head varsity Coach. by Sean Hofhine Dennis Wells Coach Burmingham watching the intense game, as one of our players goes out of bounds to save from getting tackled. “Meat Squad” This year’s team was filled with young talent, and many of the J.V. er’s got to dress varsity for some games. The J.V. team had to have a lot of desire to stay for the whole year helping the varsity team improve. They also had to have a streak of humble in them, since they had to carry out the equipment for practice, and be subjected to the brutal punish- ment of the varsity team during practice. This gained them their nickname “Meat Squad.” Coach Allan said he could see a definite trend towards more self-sacrifice, more dedication and more desire to be better athletes from the players. Also he felt that the program is building and there is more participation. The program is meant to give younger players experience before they move up to the varsity team. But with team size, the freshmen and sophomores often gain a varsity spot their first year. by Sean Hofhine Dennis Wells The picture above shows J.V. in action. The J.V. is also called “Meat Squad” who got the name from the varsity football players. During a game, one of the players on the opposing team got injured and shown above is one of his teammates helping him out. In football, you tackle the guy with the football and that’s just what these devils are going to do. AARON MOORE ALAN SURGES First Row: Jay Olearain. Kelly Dearth, Mark Walker.

Despite the tallest player being 6'3 and our new head coach Allan Parrish being 6'7 , the devils had a very determined and hard-working team. The varsity team started the year with five returning let- termen, four of them were seniors and one junior. The Red Devil team despite being the smallest team in the region opened the 81-82 season with a double overtime victory over Union, and ended the 1981 year by winning their own Moab Invitational Tournament. Accor- ding to Coach Allan Parrish, “We’re looking forward to a great season and qualifying for the state tournament.” Mike Patterson, Co-Captain, said, “Basketball is a lot of work this year and I wish we would get more people out to support us.” Marty Mason and Mike Randall, seniors, prepare for the tip from Rod Hansen in jump ball against Green River Pirates by an overwhelming score.

Boys The 1981-82 junior varsity basketball squad was very large in number with a total of twenty- one players, as compared to the previous year’s twelve players. The squad had twelve freshmen, six sophomores, and three juniors. There were six junior varsity players that were also on the squad. These were: David Chamberlain, Troy Atwood, Jeff Steele, David Lewis, Erick McDougail, and Brian Woodworth. “These young devils worked hard and were dedicated to a good basketball program,” said Coach Lynn Allen. “This program is a good ex- perience builder for the Devils that are looking for- ward to filling the varsities shoes next year.

Coach Gene Leonard completed his 27th year as a wrestling coach at Grand County High School. No one knows for sure, but this may be some kind of record. Coach Leonard has taught wrestling skills to literally thousands of young men throughout the years. This year after a winning season in 1981-82, Coach Leonard had to work with a shortage of upper classmen. Above: Coach Leonard gives advice to sophomore Donny Wells.

Some of the j.v. wrestlers have chores that they have to do that go along with being a j.v. wrestler. J.V. wrestlers clean the mats off after every practice and serve as sparring partners for the varsity. Although the j.v. wrestlers don't get to wrestle much, they still have to do what the varsity does. Mark Richeson, freshmen, said, “You have to work twice as hard.” Being on j.v. may not be as glorious as be- ing on varsity but you have to start somewhere. Jim Winfield, sophomore, said, You get a lot of experience on j.v. and maybe even get a varsity spot. by Kim Bronson Kyle Negley. freshman, works on his opponent at a junior varsity match versus the Emery Spartans in December Moab wrestlers again hosted two all day wrestling tournaments in January.

Noni Dalton, and Shannon Tangreen JV Works for Improvement Including members of all grades. 9-12, the junior varsity volleyball team worked on all basic skills needed to perform well during a volleyball game. Some improvement was noticed by the girls themselves as Merilee Chidester said, “At the first of the season I barely knew anything about volleyball, but by the end I had learned quite a lot. I think I improved most on my serve because I could finally get it over the net. As there was no tournament or state competi- tion for junior varsity teams, their games were played to help the girls gain experience in team work as well as practicing individual skills. Most of the junior varsity games were either won or lost by a large margin. By the end of the season some jv team players had become varsity players, others were on both jv and varsity teams, and the rest remained on the junior varsity team only. By Leslie Crossland Freshman jv player Melissa Daughetee also participated in girls jv basketball JV Volleyball 45 We Are the Devils, and We Are the Best! “We are the Devils, and we are the best,” became a familiar cry to a group of girls who represented Grand County High School in volleyball competition. With a very strong defense leading the way, Moab came from behind to win several games that ended their season with a total record of 5 wins and 3 losses. They also received first place at the 4- team Round Robin tournament hosted by Moab. Noni Dalton represented most of the team members' feelings when she said, “I think our biggest victory was when we beat Emery and got first at our tournament. We really showed them!” In region competition, Moab’s first loss was to Emery County High School, on their floor. This tied the teams’ region records at 3 wins and 1 loss. In a play-off for first place. Moab lost another heartbreaker to the Emery Spar- tans and went to state competition in second place. First-year Devil coach Kendra Tomsic com- mented, “No matter what the outcome of the matches we played at State or during the season, these girls always emerged as winners. Their positive attitudes and willingness to work for improvement was unsurpassed. They represent to me what athletics is supposed to be, and I'm extremely proud to be recognized as their coach.

The coaches worked the girls hard in morning and afternoon practices getting them prepared for their active season with sixteen games, five which were scheduled in eight days. Three of the girls’ op- ponents were Grand Junction, Grand Junction Central, and Price Carbon High. “We have improved greatly from last year. Our team is more mature, and works better together,” said Coach Busby. By Lisa Avery Shirley Sheets Connie Johnson, junior, receives directions in time out called. Right.

Tennis Club Is Formed A newly founded club in G.C.H.S. is the tennis club. This club was organiz- ed by Mr. Pierce who began the club to allow the students who are interested in tennis to participate in tennis activities. The club was getting off its feet dur- ing the 1981-82 school year but raised money for such things as court maintenance and tournaments. Aaron Ashcraft feels the club is very suppor- tive of the school’s tennis team and helps them prepare for matches. Bryant Hart said, It's a nice club and it does a lot for the tennis members. I joined the club because I like to play tennis.” The officers are: Aaron Ashcraft, president; Michelle Pierce, vice presi- dent; and Denise Eshom, secretary.

Cheerleaders Receive Two Spirit Awards The 1981-82 cheerleaders really did accomplish a lot this year even though they got a lot of flack from the student body. The squad was basically sophomores and freshmen. They were: Lori Bennett, senior; Brenda Hammer, sophomore; Corina Guire, sophomore; Tammy Gordon, sophomore; Lydia Scott, sophomore; Ce Ce Downard, freshman; Teresa Beals, freshman; Cindy Stocks, freshman; and Amy Ball, freshman as Mascot. During summer camp the squad brought home a spirit stick which was given to the 14 most spirited groups at camp. This was the first year Moab had ever received the award. The cheerleaders also received a trophy for the most outstanding cheerleading group at a 16 team wrestling tourna- ment held at Grand Junction in December. “This year has been really different, it’s been fun because the squad is so close, but hard because of the lack of support from the student body,” said Brenda Hammer, sophomore.

The drill team was led by drill mistress Susan Shumway and assistant drill mistress Corina Donaghue who made up most of the drills themselves. A special drill was performed to “Hear Comes Santa Claus.” The drill team also attended a summer camp in Logan last July and won a superior trophy. Com- petition was held towards the end of the year which the Devilettes attended for region ten 2A. “I feel that drill could of been better if we could just get the peo- ple to come out,” said junior Pep- per Johnson.

Pep Club Goes All Out on Activities The pep club was very active this year under the leadership of club president, Mary Grace Spr- ingfellow. Many poster parties, fund raisers, and dinner parties were held. The club was also very busy making spirit jugs, yard posters, and locker signs to get ready for Homecoming which soon came rolling around. This year the pep club had uniforms which consisted of red v-necked sweaters with white G.C.H.S. script letters going down the left side of the sweater, they also had red t-shirts made up in the same kind of design. Pep club officers for the Year were: Mary Grace Stringfellow, President; Lynda Pattison, Vice — President; with no Secretary. Mary Grace had a lot of respon- sibility on her shoulders with having to plan all pep assemblies and pep club activities involving both fall and winter homecomings.

Because of previous pro- blems, dues and other money were not turned in. It will take a lot of money to get the thespians back on their feet. “I joined the thespian club because it’s a privilege to belong to it. I worked hard last year to gain my 15 points to become a member. I hope the club can get things worked out,” said junior member Terri Zook.

Lettergirls Gain Recognition Letters Girls This year there are finally enough girls that have lettered to be recogniz- ed for the yearbook. Girls have the op- portunity to letter in sports such as, Track, Basketball, Volleyball, and Ten- nis. Yevette Lonney received a letter for being Mascot. Lisa Avery, senior, said “I’m glad girls athletics and their involvement in clubs is being recognized. Times are changing and people are beginning to feel the girls are just as important as the guys. Tamie Ohman, junior, said I think it’s great that girls are getting letters for their efforts, just like the guys!

Those students that are in sports have to meet certain requirements for lettering. In order to letter football, each person must play 16 quarters per play to be eligable. Archie Walker, senior, said, “Foot- ball is the greatest sport there is.” Of course he lettered in it. Our football season for this past 1981, was a pretty good season. The quarterback for the team which was Dennis Wells, junior, said “I feel we had a pretty good season, but could have had a lot better.” This year in basketball the team has some pretty good games. They have won 2 games out of 4 with pretty close scores. Mike Pat- terson, senior basketball player, stated: “I feel very privileged to have accomplished such a goal that I have set and looked for- ward to.” Mike Patterson, senior, working hard in one of his many classes.

My Heroes Have Always Along with football, rodeo is one of the most dangerous sports high school students par- ticipate in because of the weight and strength of the horses and bulls, and the conflict between cowboy and animal. The high school rodeo season for GCHS starts in April with our own rodeo. Out of some 30 rodeos, each cowboy participates in about 10, depending on the draw. Events for guys in- clude bareback and saddle bronc riding, bull riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling. Girls can “Hijacker gives Alan Surges a ride of his life at the Emery Co. H.S. rodeo.

Of these, the top fifteen percent of the seniors, ten percent of the juniors, and five percent of the sophomores get in. In order to be in this group, a student must maintain a 3.0 grade point average and should be involved in other school ac- tivities. Members of Honor Society are ex- pected to set an example for the rest of the school. This year's officers are Sarah Crossland, president; Connie Johnson, vice president; and Jennifer Cozzens, secretary. Pat Richeson is the advisor. Honor Society members do things like usher at school plays, football games, and parent-teacher conferences.

Those chosen spend one full week learning about the different levels of government and political systems in the United States. Girls' State is held at the College of Southern Utah in Cedar City, while Boys’ State is held at Utah State University in Logan. This year the ses- sions began Sunday, June 7 and ended Saturday, June 13,1981. Each day is spent in different ac- tivities. There are days like City Day, County Day, and State Day. On these days, the different levels of government are explored. Participants choose to run for different offices on these days. “The most vital thing you learn is that wherever you go you can always make friends. said Lorri Bennett, senior, by Rachel Rhea Girls' Stale is Front: Amy Urbanek, Lorri Bennet.

Staff Uses 100’s of Quad Paks for Perfect Layouts The 1981-82 G.C.H.S. yearbook staff has worked hard to produce the best book possible. Lisa Avery, senior, and editor for this year's staff, had this to say about the preparation of the yearbook, “Everyone was willing to do their share of work which made preparing the yearbook much easier. Putting the yearbook together was not an easy task and it takes cooperation and teamwork to meet a deadline. At the beginning of the year, the staff was fill- ed with many rookies that had not worked on a year- book before and went through many quadpaks trying to get things right. Quad-paks are the final step in developing a layout which is put on a blueprint form and sent to the publisher. The rookies finally turned into rank amateurs. Terri Roundtree, senior, was part of the yearbook staff and she had this to say about the class, It's a fun class but there's a lot more work involved than most people think there is. “Deadlines are a pain.” says senior Alan Surges as he worked on his project. After each deadline the yearbook staff took a little break, Lisa gave her slaves their assignments and it was back to work for everybody. Tamie Ohman, junior, who works on layouts, thinks that writing copy is very hard. The yearbook staff worked hard to meet five deadlines altogether this year. This put some of the staff in during lunch hour and after school to finish it up. by Kevin Kimber Trish Gorman and Terri Roundtree, seniors, typing up some stories for the yearbook. 70 Yearbook Seniors Sally Crossland and Rachal Rhea overlooking layouts and copy needed for a deadline.

Yearbook 71 The symphonic and marching band, directed by Jim Nissen, is preparing itself for a trip to the Calgary Stampede in Canada during the summer of 1983. The class has been working hard on music, and raising money through various fund raising ac- tivities. The seniors graduating in 1982 will not be going on this trip, but are still involved in the activities and are working to better the quality of the band. During the year Mr. Nissen formed a jazz band. Its first performance was the regional solo and ensemble festival. This band also played special performances during con- certs throughout the year. Mr. Nissen commented, “The bands are doing very well, and I ex- pect to have a good trip when we go on our tour in Canada.” by Shirley Sheets Right: Ron Dalla and Shirley Sheets lead the trumpet section.

Band 75 I New Teacher Takes Over the Chorus Grand County High School chorus students were lead this year by Mr. Randy Evensen, who came to Moab from Westpoint, Utah. Mr. Evensen is a graduate of Brigham Young University, where he majored in music education and piano performance. This year was Mr. Evensen’s first year teaching a high school choir, he also teaches chorus at the Middle School. Mr. Evensen said, “I enjoy teaching chorus. I wouldn’t teach anything else because deep down inside I don’t feel like I’m teaching.” Eighty- four students participated in the class. “I wasn’t surprised at the amount of students, infact, I expected there to be more,” Mr. Evensen said. The chorus performed four major concerts and performed in several minor ones. Ruth Gramlich, sophomore, said. “Chorus is one of my favorite classes, it is a lot of fun, especially when everyone participates.” Susan Shumway, senior, said, “He did an excellent job considering that it was his first year teaching. Next year I think it should go even better.” Tina Plastow, sophomore, said, “Mr. Evensen has great potentials, I hope he goes on to big- ger and better things.” by Kelly Clark 1st row: Jennifer Cozzens.

Sounds Grand Makes Great Improvements Sounds Grand this year is lead by Mr. Randy Evenson. There are nineteen members in the group who had great hopes of going all the way to state. Mr. Evenson said, “I think Sounds Grand is the best group I’ve worked with and they have a lot of potential to reach their highest ability.” Sounds Grands goals this year were to reach the potential that they have and to rise the highest ability. This year region Competition was in March when G.C.H.S. competed with many students across the region. Debbie Sterry, senior, said “Sounds Grand has made big improvements over the year and with a little work and support toward Mr. Even- son this group will be a big success.” Kim Norman, junior member, said, “I think that the group has had great advancements towards a better quality group.” Jill McDonald, sophomore said, “The group has come a long way from the first of the year and should do fairly well in the future.” Tammy Bates, sophomore, said, “It’s a really fun group to watch and has given a lot of the members confidence in themselves, which makes them perform better.” “Sounds Grand adds a lot of life around Grand County High School and gives so much life to the assemblies.” Said Yvette Looney, senior. Sounds Grand 77 Speech, Drama Popular at G.C.H.S. “I want the top speakers in the state!” said Mrs. Meg Anderson who took over the speech depart- ment for this school year. The class concentrated on developing and polishing speech skills. The class also worked on competition material. The speeches used for competition are extemporaneous, impromptu, legislative forum, and original oratory. In this, students write their own speeches and memorize them. The kind of speeches studied in the class are pet peeve, impromp- tu, persuasive, dramatic, infor- mative, humorous, and special occasion. Senior Bryant Hart said “I plan to compete in debate with Tim Lawton and defend our state title!” Both Tim and Bryant have been in speech since their freshman year and are the current State 2A Debate Champions. 78 Speech Top Left: Kelly Durham practices his part.

All Aspects of Journalism Taught I think a lot of people saw it as an easy English credit, but I don’t think it ever was an easy class. There is a lot expected out of the students. I don't think there is another class in school in which students have to write as much as often,” said Mr. Till, teacher of the journalism class at G.C.H.S. He was referring to the fact that students had to write a story for the newspaper along with special projects dealing with a newspaper. A spelling test was given every week. Some students did some writing for the yearbook. A student must have passed their last English class with a 2.50 grade point average to enroll in journalism I. Betty Shocknmyer, a student of journalism I, said, It gives you an idea on whether you want to go into the journalism field as a profession. 80 Journalism I by Jerry Croasman Home Ec. Restaurant a Success Home Ec. consists of more than just cooking and sewing.

Students Work for Cedar Show “Shop is taught to give people an in depth look and hands on ex- perience in the world of carpentry and cabinet making. Students are taught to use, maintain and cor- rectly operate shop equipment. We try to create a desire and the motivation for cabinet making,” said instructor Al Heaton. The vocational cabinet making class, which is third and fourth hours, is designed to teach the student technical and developing techniques so without any further education they can get a job in industry. Shop students build their pro- jects and hope to complete them by the end of school in prepara- tion for the crafts show which is held every year in Ceder City, by Arnie Beyeler Also in the industrial arts class is Ronnie Key, junior who is building a china cabinet.

Maybe because Pat is the only one who made the mess. Mechanics Gain Auto Experience Auto shop has four classes taught by Mr. Mark Knowley. The classes are general auto, auto I, and auto II, and also welding. In general auto, students are taught the basics of automobile maintenance including how to change oil, fix tires and many other basic things. In auto I Mr. Knowley teaches the student a little more in depth than in general auto. Major tune-ups and overhauls on vehicles is taught. In welding the students get a chance to use a torch and actually weld. Auto II is a two hour vocational class and the students in there have a chance to do their own overhauls and any other type of maintenance on a car. In auto shop students gain “hands on ex- perience,” said Mr. Knowley. Students have rebuilt two different vehicles in the last few years, one of which is a 1956 Ford pick up and the other is a 1932 Ford Roadster. Mr. Knowley is very pleased about the things that are done in the class and says that the guys use the time productively but it could always be better. Mr. Knowley is working toward a new bigger and better shop area. He says the one that the students are using now is not-big enough for the number of students that would like to enroll into the class. Mr. Knowley has raised money for the auto shop by selling oil that has been donated to the class. He plans to have some advanced students rebuild some old motors and sell them so that there can be more money in the shops account, by Archie Walker Senior Dave Jarman seems to know what he is doing while do- ing minor tune-up to his truck.

Amy Urbanek, and Denice Eshom. “Tough” Motion, in one and two dimensions, gravity, forces, and Newton’s laws of motion are all part of physics. Many formulas and words have to be memorized. Physics is a good class for college preparation and just for general knowledge, as many people use the principles and concepts of physics later in life. The nine students who get up early to attend the 7:30 a.m. physics class enjoy the subject, but not the time. Hopefully in the future the class can be taught at a regular hour. by Sally Crossland 84 Physics “I Learned a Lot” “I like first aid because it’s educational, and intresting,” said junior Tamie Ohman. “I learned a lot, said senior Kevin Kimber.

This year the School Board proposed a voted tax increase to bring money to the school system. The program was pro- posed to gain the extra money needed to. bring back programs that were dropped on account of this years cutbacks. These programs included adult educa- tion, summer school, and some field trips. The Leeway though, was not passed by the voters in November. Some of the voters thought the money from the Leeway would to go the school for athletics. Mrs. Dalton though said, This was ab- solutely not true, athletics weren’t even talked about as a receipient of funds. Thus, funding for many school activities was in doubt as 1981 ended. Mrs. Dalton said, We have enough money plan- ned for this years budget, but we don’t know about next year. by Wanna Shuey Below: Mike Arehart.

New Principal Returns After Twenty Years Grand County High School was led by its third principal in three years as Mr. Hyrum Tatton came from Mon- tana to fill the job. Mr. Tatton is a 1961 graduate of Grand County High School, and the first alumni to fill the job. After graduating from Grand County High School, Mr. Tatton went on to college at University of Utah on a scholarship. After dropping out of col- lege for a few years he got his bachelor’s degree in 1971 from the University of Montana. He taught chemistry at Sentinnel High School in Missoula, and he also taught classes for the University of Montana. In 1976 he received his master's degree in chemistry, and held the job of assis- tant principal before coming to Moab. Mr. Tatton feels that Grand County High School has changed drastically in the last twenty years. ‘‘The courses are boarder especially in the voca- tional area because kids have changed in the last twenty years.” P _________by Kim Bronson_________ Junior Kori Miller, looks really busy doing absolutely nothing. It’s lots of fun, except when teachers forget their absentees and you have to go into their rooms!” Says Gerri NcKinney. junior, about being an office aide. According to those involved, being an office aide isn’t a very easy job. Their prime job is to collect asbentees from every teacher and record them properly. Office aides also sell student supplies, write early dissmissals, deliver messages to students and teachers. Not all the aides work in the front office, three girls work for Mr. Leonard in his office. They write out admit slips and file to help Mr. Leonard with the new attendance policy. Another part of our school helpers are the Library Aides. They’re under the supervision of Mrs. Foy. Library aides classify books, return them to their proper place on the shelf, and stock new books and magazines. Sophomore Penny Snowden says, “I think it’s fun, I learn a lot and I like working with Mrs. Foy.” Mrs. Foy complimented Library aides by say- ing, “Library aides make it possible for one per- son to operate a high school media center. As they help the librarian and others they gain knowledge and skills that help themselves. Being a library aide should make it possible for these people to use ony library better.” by Tamie Ohman Rod Leavell. sophomore, enjoys rest and relaxation in a quite atmosphere. 90 Library Ms ALLEN SURGES AARON Tony Contereras, seems to be saying.

No Food and Drink Policy Makes Custodians Work Easier The custodians for the 1981-82 school year were Mary Love, Alfonso Herrera, and new this year, Wayne Day. Mary Love, who as been working at Grand County High School for the past six and a half years, said, “I think the halls have been kept cleaner this year. The custodians are among a few who are in favor of the “No Food or Drink policy. Alfonso Gerrera said, “With the rule the school is cleaner than before the new rule. This was his fifth year working for the school. There are lots of things a custodian has to do other than first cleaning the rooms, such a put in lights, wash mops and rags, pick-up garbage, water the lawns, sweep the doorways, put up and take down the flag, unlock and lock the doors and gates, put salt on icey sidewalks, open the close the rooms at night for college classes. In the summer while students and teachers are out of school the custodians have to work. They have to strip and rewax every room in the whole school, shampoo the carpets, clean the light fixtures, clean the walls and lockers, and everything. Some of the students at G.C.H.S. had the following com- ments about how well they thought the custodians did their jobs this past year. Rita Hill, junior, said. “I think they did a pretty good job.

According to statistics in an issue of Today’s Education magazine, there are about 4 out of 10 teachers who said they plan to remain teaching until retire- ment. The number of teachers with 20 years’ ormore experience has dropped by nearly half in the past 15 years. Teacher Burnout is a condition that results from stress, tension and anxiety. It is caused by the many problems that plague teachers and that they receive little help in dealing with. Violence and vandalism, disruptive students, inadequate salaries, involuntary transfers, interfering parents, oversized classes, excessive paperwork, and a multitude of other problems according to the article. The ultimate result is teacher dropouts. Too many teachers are feeling burned out and ignored. They want to teach. They want their classrooms to crackle with excitement. But they face too many students who won’t do their homework and too many school boards who cut supplies and equipment from the budget and too many supervisors who say “live with it” when teachers try to get help for a disruptive student. Although our school has not yet experienc- ed all of these problems, teachers still feel pressures of teaching. Mrs. Richeson, business teacher, said, I feel that all teachers have burnout at one time or another. I especially feel burnout when I am overloaded with papers every night. Sometimes I feel if I look at one more paper I will scream.” Mrs. Brownell, history teacher, said, I think it's a reality. It’s like grey hair and wrinkles, after a long enough time some peo- ple may be affected to certain degrees, and some people may never be affected.” Mrs. Foy, librarian, said, “Teacher burnout is more common because of the added stress in today's society. When it occurs it is not fair to the students or the teacher to have the teacher continue in the same type of work. I have felt a need to change and have changed a great deal in my teaching experience.” Teachers 93 by Tina Wehmeier Mr. Heaton, industrial arts teacher gets along with the students. Mr. Knowley. auto shop teacher, watches his students closely. 94 Teachers Mr. Naughan puzzled at the papers with the same answers. Are the students of G.C.H.S. following the footsteps of their teachers? Listed below are what some of our teachers did when they were students. Mr. Olsen, biology teacher, said, “Nothing, because I never went to school.” But when he did go to school, he got thrown out of seven classes. Mr. Till, the journalism teacher, said, “I never studied because I spent most of my time driving around.” Mrs. Victor, P.E. teacher, said, “After I got caught cheating, I never did anything wrong again.” Mr. Knowley, auto shop teacher, said, “I stayed all night at an all girls school. I also stole the bell from an opposing team’s church. I broke into the office once and made the bells ring in the middle of the night instead of the day, and once we got into the opposing teams locker room and put Atomic Balm Lineament on their football uniforms.” Mr. Al Heaton, industrial arts teacher, said, “Once I went rabbit hunting with a few other guys at 2:00 o’clock in the morning and when we got back we had a whole truck load. We threw a rabbit in every Motel swim- ming pool in town and swung them across the stop lights, hung them off the road signs, and had a good time.” Mr. Maughan, grammer teacher, said, “We shouldn’t give you kids ideas.” Donna Young Rita Hill Peggy Nissen. resource teacher, gets excited and enthusiastic about helping her kids.

There are pictures, an- nouncements, caps and gowns, senior keys, tassles, and many other things to be ordered. Everything had to be ordered at the beginning of the year so they will be here in time for gradua- tion. The only problem with that is, the companies you order from all want their money at the same time. Most seniors have to buy their own school clothes, which is another added expense. Lisa Dickerson was asked how she felt about spending all that money for her senior year, she said, “You really should ask my dad, he is the one who had to fork out all the money for me. Arnie Beyeler was asked the same question, he said, “It will be worth it if I graduate.” Then it’s time to think about college. Many seniors are applying for scholarshis, trying to get grants, or hitting mom and dad up for a loan. A large number of seniors will work this summer to raise enough money for the upcoming school year. Ahna McClatchy was asked how she could afford going to college, she said, “I've already ap- plied for some grants, and I plan on working part- time while I’m in college. by Leslie Key ALAN SURGES Kevin Brown, senior, works on a drawing assignment in arts and crafts.

While going through the files, I found some excuses that were quite unusual and or different. Names have been ommitted to protect the in- dividuals' privacy. “Please excuse_________because she has to go chase the chickens.” Please excuse_________she had to go get her prom dress fixed. “_______was absent from class because he has blisters on both feet and couldn't wear his shoes.” Please excuse me for third hour. I went to eat. ______had a headache this A.M. — kept him home till it broke. “Due to illness______was absent Friday, and Mon- day he was just absent due to nothing.” “________ missed school yesterday because he didn’t know he had school.” “Would you please excuse_________for Monday the 1st 2nd hour of Friday. There was a death in the Family.” According to Mr. Leonard, vice principal, most of the above excuses, under the new attendance policy, wouldn’t receive an excused absence. by Jerry Croasman ALAN SURGES Junior class member, and studentbody vice presi- dent Terri Zook acts as a clown for the homecoming parade. 106 Dennis Wells, junior, studies diligently in Plane Geometry.

The sophomores have learn- ed that in order to be big in the school as a class they have to get with the spirit. Colette Johnston said In our class we have a lot of hard working people. This would have to be true if they won so many competitions. Becky Olesen seems to think the reason for such a good class is The president, Sean Hofhine.” Merilee Chidister said “I'm very proud to belong to such a hard working and winning class!” Karen Barker, a newcomer to G.C.H.S., came to a conclusion in such a short time, about her class ... “Our class has TONS of spirit!” The name Little Devils” fit the sophomores. They will do anything, make fools out of themselves,, and carry on to get attention. One incident was when three sophomores girls dress- ed up as football players for their float. You would think that our football team was getting pretty shapely, but to our surprise they were girls! All in all, the sophomore class is not that bad, even though they are SOPHOMORES!!!

Freshmen placed last in float, wall and win- dow competition. The only feeling of warmth the freshmen had this year, was when their garbage can cought on fire while preparing their float for the homecoming parade. Even though it look- ed like brown ick. the judges felt sorry for the defeated freshmen giving their can a second place rating. Well freshmen only three years left for you to improve in your ability to win. Teresa Beals, freshmen, improving her knowledge. Freshmen 115 Is Being a Freshman Really That Bad? What is it like to be a freshman? What would you change in school, if you could change something? Following are some of the responses I received: Kevin Sheets said, “It is painful at times. Upperclassmen always make freshmen clean the wrestling mats. Stanley Hawks decribes being a freshman as the “pits.” Janice Miller said that be- ing a freshman is rough. A freshman girl who wishes to remain anonymous said, “There are two things I’d like to change, being run over the halls, and not being asked out enough. I wish the seniors would get smart and call me sometime. A freshman boy who also wishes to remain anonymous said, “All the freshman girls are too good for us. The upperclassmen have to get freshman girlfriends.” Advice to the beloved freshman: Why don’t the freshman both girls and boys together. Larry Croasmun said, “I would make the lockers smaller so I wouldn't fit in them.” Jess Hayes said, “I think they (school district) ought to take the toilets out of the school, so you can't get swirlies. A swirly is a fancy name for when one sticks anothers head in the toilet. The dictionary refers to a “swirly” as being: To cause to move in a whirling or twisting motion. by Jerry Croasmun 116 Lisa Carter and Matt Stocks, freshmen, show us how much they've learned since being at Grand County High. Rhonda Drumheller. freshman, was the freshman Attendant this year. Claudia Pacheco, freshman, casually glances over at our camera. 117 Bill Davis Emergency facilities were put to test in Moab during a statewide power blackout on January 8.

We shared the good times and held on to each other through the bad times. School vacation means different things to different people. For Mr. Leonard he can let his voice rest, and take a break from saying, “Get to class, get out of the halls.” Mrs. Russell can let her overworked, blistered fingers rest from slaving over a hot typewriter. And we the students get away from lockers that refuse to open at the last minute, studying for tests until 1:00 a.m., finding a parking spot before the school bell rings, and signing those stupid tardy books. The class of '82 says good-bye to the halls of G.C.H.S. and they’re off to start a new life. Who knows, there might be another Betty Crocker. Clark Gable. Richard Nixon, Thomas Edison, or Tiny Tim among them. It’s been a joy, an extreme pleasure, and a real snappy sur- prise for us, the class of ’82. to attend Grand County High School the past four years. by Yvette Looney Is photographer Alan Surges, camera shy? Alan has been active through high school. These students get together in the library to do their community'’ homework.

Mr. Till and staff can now relax without the worry of dreaded deadlines, lost pictures, last minute changes on captions and headlines, and countless mistakes on mug shots. There are many responsibilities and a lot of hard work in producing what our staff thinks will be the best yearbook ever. I had a very dedicated staff this year in the way they spent their evenings and lunch hours in order to finish deadlines. I would like to thank the following staff members: Trish and Pepper for selling ads, Shauna, Kevin, Lorri, Tammi, Kim, Terri, Tina and Rachel for doing the necessary layouts and copy, which is the essential part of a yearbook, the photographers Alan, Aaron, Shirley, Sally, and Robert for printing, reprinting, and fighting scrat- ched negatives, also a thanks to the two new comers Jerry and Lynda who joined in January and the Journalism I class for writing much of the copy no one else wanted to do. I’d like to give a very special thanks to a friend who survived a publications workshop with me, helped to choose the specifications for this year and was my assistant — Leslie Crossland.
