Through the broad scope of activities of the high school Music Department, participants and listeners alike find entertainment, satisfaction, and inspiration. To the Grand Junction High School Music Department for excellent entertainment and high achievement in musical presentation the Annual Staff dedicates this the 1949 Tiger Annual. Page 5 While serving as a record of the 1949 school year, the Tiger Annual gives an insight, in miniature, into the exciting and varied phases of the world of music inseparably woven into the harmonies and discords of everyday school life. Page 6 Just as orchestral leaders guide their groups through standard works, exert light control during forte passages, and encourage soloists, so in a sense must the faculty members of Grand Junction High School with firmness, logic, and understanding mold the students of today into the teachers and leaders of tomorrow. Page 7 I. K. Boltz Generous in praise; sincerely interested in the welfare of the teaching staff: and deeply concerned over the progress of education in the city, state, and nation; Supt. I. K. Boltz was often seen in the halls of GJHS. at assemblies, and other school functions. As chairman of the legislative committee of the Colorado Education Association, he played a prominent part in state affairs in addition to carrying out his duties as superintendent of the city public schools. Robert C. James As head of the teaching staff and principal of the high school, Robert C. James displayed administrative skill in fulfilling his responsibilities. Running a student body of over 1,000 called for a sympathetic understanding not only of student affairs but also of the students themselves. Mr. James succeeded in obtaining cooperation among students and faculty members alike, making the year one of the most successful in the history of the school. Ray C. Hume Helpful, friendly, judicious, Ray C. Hume counseled students and teachers on co-curricular problems and also helped to untangle individual difficulties in connection with classwork or schedules. In his fourth year as assistant principal, he supervised the finances of the Student Body Association and worked in cooperation with Robert C. James in an administrative capacity. R. E. lope Widely experienced and able to understand the problems of the high school student, R. E. Tope is superintendent emeritus of the Grand Junction schools. Mr. Tope's friendliness, philosophy, and thorough understanding of the school system and community have I. K. Boltz BA, MA [__ J won the admiration and respect of all who know him. Still having an active part in the affairs of this community, Mr. Tope has an office in the school administration building. Robert C. James BA, MA Ray C. Hume BS, MA R. E. Tope BA, MA Page 9 We direct classes of English. By their own appreciation of literature and their ability in teaching creative writing, Misses Ruth Wood and Emma Groom inspired students in senior English. Under their experienced leadership, the graduating students edited Tiger Tales, a literary magazine. Miss Wood also taught sophomore English, and Miss Groom had a group in English III besides performing her duties as SBA treasurer. With ingenuity and patience, Mrs. Helen Hensler taught three classes of [unior and one of freshman English. As assistant sponsor of Drama Club, she worked with the troupes in producing short plays and skits. Good humored and understanding, Mrs. Ernestine Shuey helped freshmen and sophomores to secure a background in English and helped supervise activities of the Pep Club. Often amusing her students with witty illustrations and jokes, Miss Virginia Fulghum had classes in English I and II. She was also co-sponsor of the freshman class. Substituting during the illness of John Pender-grast, Mrs. Ed Whalley taught classes in sophomore English. Vivacious and congenial, Mrs. Whalley easily assumed her duties, as she had formerly been a member of the staff. As supervisory teacher in study halls, Mrs, Genevieve Hume won the friendship and appreciation of many students. She was on half-time duty, spending only the morning at GJHS and the rest of the day as a homemaker. Emma Groom BA Ruth Wood BA, MA Helen Hensler BA, MA Ernestine Shuey BA Virginia Fulghum BA Genevieve Hume BA, BE Aluine Whalley BA Page 10 We teach history and give business training. John Thome taught social science, world and American history. Moreover, he was a co-sponsor of the senior class and assisted in the athletic department. Despite having five classes in social science, Mrs. Bernice Branson avoided monotony and made the subject a vital factor in the daily life of her students. Additional duties included co-sponsoring the junior class. In addition to performing the duties of girls' adviser, Mrs. Frances Hopton taught social science. She was also co-sponsor of the Student Council. Not content with a full day of teaching American history, Miss Isabel Benson co-sponsored IRC and helped train members of the Debate club. Although he instructed in social science the first semester, J. B. Wootten took over the full-time teaching of classes in driving the second semester. Adult classes were under his guidance after school hours. A new staff member, Miss Carol Kraatz, assumed a position in the social science department the second semester. Heading the commercial department, tall, red-haired Mrs. Marie Schwab had as her co-worker Mrs. Virginia Runge, a quiet brunette. Working in close cooperation, both taught classes in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping, with Mrs. Schwab also supervising a class in secretarial practice. Counseling students planning careers in business was an integral part of their work. Both were also sponsors of the honorary service club for girls, Tri-S. Marie Schwab BA Virginia Runge BA John Thome BA, MA Bernice Branson BA Isabel Benson BA Frances Hopton BA, MA J. B. Wootten BA Gwendolyn Mallory BS, MA Edward Whalley BA Delmer Born BA, MA Esther Conway BA. MA We instruct in science and languages. Demonstrating experiments and teaching symbols, formulas, and the principles of science, Ed Whailey doubled as chemistry teacher and coach of football, wrestling, and track. Though handicapped by lack of proper laboratory facilities, Mr. Whalley, as well as Delmer Born, physics teacher, and Miss Gwendolyn Mallory, biology instructor, succeeded in making the courses in science interesting and alive to the students. Mr. Born also taught a class in general mathematics and one in geology in addition to supervising visual education and the photographic darkroom. Miss Mallory kept students in general and advanced biology alert with a generous sprinkling of tests and her good-humored wit. All three instructors cooperated in coordinating the work of the science department. One of four teachers in the language department, Miss Esther Conway, using originality of presentation, taught students in French and Spanish. She also assisted with Junior Red Cross work. The other instructor in Spanish was Mrs. Ann Cornelison, who also helped advise the senior class as sponsor. Co-sponsoring Junior Red Cross with Miss Conway, Mrs. Maude McLaughlin had classes in first and second year Latin and in English I. Completing the staff of the language department, Miss Winifred Bull also taught Latin. In addition, she worked with the Anthos Club and started a Camera Club the second semester for amateur shutterbugs interested in learning the photographic arts. Winifred Bull BA, MA Ann Cornelison BA Maude McLaughlin BA, MA Page 12 Basil T. Knight BS Lois Baughman BA. MA Bernadine Myers BS Clyde Granere BS, MA We train in mechanical drawing, mathematics, and speech. Business-like but good-humored, Clyde Granere instructed two classes in mechanical drawing and one in architectural drawing. Mr. Granere advised Boys' League, co-sponsored Student Council, and was chairman of the Grand Junction Community Education Association legislative committee. Well trained by long experience, Basil T. Knight taught first-year algebra and general mathematics and supervised the sale of SBA tickets. Enlivening her teaching with her sparkling humor, Miss Lois Baughman had classes in solid geometry and trigonometry. Chairman of the Christmas Seal sale, she was also active in the local and state education associations. With plane geometry and first-year algebra as her specialties, Miss Bernadine Myers also co-sponsored Y-Teens with Miss Gunhild Gustafson. Well liked by her students, Miss Gustafson had classes in first- and second-year algebra and in plane geometry. Giving un-stintingly of her time, Mrs. Juanita Sanders taught freshmen and sophomores the fundamentals of algebra and general mathematics and was a sponsor of the sophomore class. Plus teaching a full schedule of first-and second-year speech classes, Miss Irene Gray sponsored the Drama Club, including the Thespian group. She also worked with the Debate Club and coached the Drama Club, senior and junior plays. Numerous other short plays and skits were under her direction to provide entertainment and to give students training in dramatic arts. Juanita Sanders BA. MA Gunhild Gustafson BA Euaene Hansen ' BA, MA We supervise physical education, office, and library. Harriet Keigley With the thought of building sound bodies as well as strong minds, Eugene Hansen directed the junior-senior athletic program. As head basketball and baseball coach and assistant football coach, he varied his duties with the sponsorship of G Club. Assisting him with the program, Bill McGraw taught gym to all junior high and freshman boys, coached junior varsity football and basketball, and aided Coach Ed Whalley with track. Teaching all the freshmarf girls gym classes, Miss Lillian Runyon also sponsored the Girls' Athletic Association. Efficiently, Mrs. Harriet Keigley served as secretary in the high school office. Capturing all with her charm, Mrs. Keigley remained unperturbed in the midst of the busy routine of writing letters, keeping records, answering requests, signing blue permits, and supervising office girls. Hushed voices, pussy-foot tread, and softly rustling pages characterized the library under the watchful eye of Miss Hazel Ela. Assisting her were Mrs. Mary Benson, who also supervised a study hall, and Miss Ina Dyer, co-sponsor of IRC and study hall teacher. Ina Dyer BA Mary Benson BS, MS Hazel Ela BA Page 14 Herbert Benson BS, ME Charles Turner Gus Constantine We give vocational training. Supervisor of the vocational school, Herbert Benson coordinated the work of the department and taught classes in mechanics. Charles Turner was in charge of auto mechanics instruction and Gus Constantine had classes in machine shop. In the afternoons. Roy Dexter taught a class in radio maintenance. Sincerely concerned with the success of his on-the-job students, Arthur Harms taught and counseled the seniors who took distributive education. He also had classes in business training, was freshman class sponsor, and a representative on the teachers’ executive council. Directing another aspect of shop centered around the manual arts were Charles Haywood and John Speight. Mr. Speight also directed the Tiger Courtesy Patrol, and Mr. Haywood helped sponsor the sophomore class. Both men joined the teaching staff the past year and have already done much to build up their department. Roy L. Dexter Charles Haywood BA, MA John Speight BA Page 15 Gladys Glendenning BA Virginia Klippert BA Jeanne Schellenberg RN Ruth Higgins BA, MA We offer home economics, journalism, and fine arts. With a background of broad experience in the home economics field, Miss Gladys Glendenning worked in close cooperation with Miss Virginia Klippert to coordinate the work in the department. Both taught classes in first- and second-year homemaking and co-sponsored the Future Homemakers of America. Miss Glendenning also had a third-year and a senior class with Miss Klippert teaching junior high courses. Mrs. Jeanne Schellenberg, who served as school nurse, also taught home nursing and health units in homemaking. Helping students to express themselves creatively through various mediums of artistic expression, Miss Ruth Higgins taught classes in Art I, II, and III. Often she supervised the making of posters or special decorations for school events. With the patience and understanding required of a journalism teacher, Miss Lillian Larson served as publications director and teacher of English. Other than teaching first- and second-year journalism and two classes in English III. she was adviser for the yearbook, paper, handbook, and Quill and Scroll. With Mrs. Grace Ritchie directing vocal music groups and Marion L. Jacobs leading the instrumental divisions, the duo were largely responsible for the success of the musical activities and classes in the high school. Besides leading the Girls' and Mixed Choruses. Mrs. Ritchie was grade school music supervisor. Mr. Jacobs directed the band and orchestra and gave instrumental lessons in the grades. Page 16 Comparable to rehearsing musicians, students must meet each new rhythm and tempo, master it and hurry on, constantly striving for perfection. Students are here shown in their class rooms laboring over problems posed for them by their instructors, doing interesting experiments, mastering languages, or studying one of the arts— preparing for years to come that they may better meet the challenge of every day life. Page 17 We study communications . . . the foundation of all knowledge. Berndt and Jeanetta look on while Dick and Irna Jane play negro spirituals as part of their literature in the four-year English course available in SJHS. As part of their journalism duties, Eric and Lorraine distribute the Orange and Black. Students taking this course find themselves working on the newspaper, the annual, or handbook. Nervously standing on the platform which is familiar to all speech students, Eddie gives a talk on A World Government.” Appearing before groups of this kind gives students the invaluable asset of self-confidence. Donna is thankful for the help she is receiving from Miss Winifred Bull on the Latin translation, as Chuck tries to puzzle his out. Emphasis is placed on the derivation of English words from Latin. Visual education augments the daily classroom activities to give Spanish students a broader view of the cultural background of the people they are studying. Alan and Barbara lead a discussion in French culture which is as much a part of the study in French as learning to speak this romantic language. Page 19 We train for world citizenship, for future careers, for healthful living. Questioning Miss Isabel Benson, students in American history class ponder over issues of historical importance. Required of all juniors, this subject helps them understand the background of present-day events. Studying the states and discussing their social and economic life, students of social science acquire an introduction to the machinery of government. Mechanical drawing or drafting is in reality a language in which lines and figures are used instead of words to tell a story. Here David Wood is gaining experience which will be valuable for his future career. A group of girls enjoy a battle of skill in the form of a basketball game as a part of the physical education course required of all freshmen. Freshmen boys, stars of future basketball teams, learn sportsmanship and fair play along with the fundamentals of this game in physical education classes. Page 20 We enrich our lives with music and art. Relaxing a moment before presenting their first Greater Music Season concert, the members of Mixed Chorus laugh and chat as they assemble in the gym. Deeply engrossed in playing The Marriage of Figaro for the student body, the orchesfra shows how the long hours of practice have perfected their organization to one of the finest in the history of the school. Getting a vote of thanks from the annual staff, Barbara, Monica, Francey, Dean, and 8ob fashion the tin figures used for division sheet pictures. Sculpturing plaster of Paris figures intrigues Diane, Arlene, and Monica, second-year art students. During the year, advanced students select three mediums of expression, working on each for a twelve-week period. Putting the finishing touches on megaphones are Bette and Walter, first-year art students. In the background, art work created by students is visible. Page 21 We prepare to take our place In the world of business. Working industriously. Betty types a form letter which is a part of the work covered in the one-year course offered. Lessons in theme writing, speed and accuracy, and composing at the typewriter are also taught. Vieva, Mary Jo, and Lola demonstrate the methods used by stenographers to transcribe shorthand notes at a typewriter. Besides the teaching of actual shorthand characters, emphasis is placed on taking dictation and transcribing while typing. From the elementary algebra book in view this student works problems that he knows will help him master the fundamentals of algebra and general mathematics. With the help of compasses and protractors, Harvey and Bob industriously work on plane geometry problems that will help develop their critical thinking and an understanding of logical proof. Preparing for her future career as a secretary, Pat uses the modern method of dictation, the dictaphone. With foresight, school authorities obtained these instruments for practical training in secretarial practice. Trigonometry students use a transit to determine distances out of their reach. This diverting work is part of the one-semester course offered to those who expect to do scientific work or major in college mathematics. Page 22 We learn practical skills for better everyday living. Demonstrating the fine art of baking a cake, Norma, Christine, and Phyllis check their ingredients. Lessons such as these give future homemakers practical experience of value. Juanita stitches a seam by machine, as Dianne does handwork on a garment. Both are a part of the work in dressmaking offered in the homemaking classes. Finding this electrical saw to be completely fascinating, Jerome utilizes some of the modern power equipment available in the renovated shop. Boys are taught everything from making billfolds to lawn trellises. Studying the principal parts of the radio and their repair and replacement typifies the work in radio shop. Tron tests a small set for electrical troubles. Working at Gavins is fun, discloses Evelyn, and I get school credit for it. As part of a well-rounded curriculum, distributive education offers seniors a chance to earn while they learn. Learning to detect engine troubles and to correct them are the main purposes of auto mechanics. Here Jack and Joe repair a rear axle. Page 23 We delve Into the vast field of modern science. Intrigued by their experiment in the wave length of sound, Stedman, Patsy and Walter view just one phase of the basic and interesting course of Physics, which also includes the study o light, electricity, forces and pressures. Terry Lee and Suy examine drops of water under a microscope, typical of the interesting work covered in general biology. Besides a general survey of plant and animal life, students acquire and develop a scientific approach to everyday problems. Absorbed in the task of combining zinc and sulfuric acid, Bill demonstrates before his chemistry classmates one of the diverting experiments which varies the ordinary work covered in textbooks. Searching for geoolgy material with which to write research papers, Joan and Joe look through reference books in the school library. Although this class devotes most of its time to local geography, some time is spent on the history and origin of the earth, including the appearance of man. Page 24 fls a Quartet Adhering to the protocol and customs of quartet presentation the four classes of Grand Junction High School raised their voices in perfect harmony during many important issues facing the school and performed several well rehearsed solo and duet passages in making 1949 a harmonious year at GJHS. Page 25 Seniors Stored away but not forgotten will be the multicolored memories of high school days as the seniors graduate. Whether headed for the armed forces, college, or a job, they will take their places in a global world marked by a deep desire for peace and by continuing threats of war. Having yearbook pictures taken, selecting the announcements for graduation, being measured for caps and gowns, were among the incidents which kept them aware of their senior status. With outlandish costumes, queer actions, and daffy dialogues, the seniors drew laughter from other students and the faculty as they acted out their skits on Slouch Day. With all its fun and competition, Orange and Black Field Day including athletic events and a dance followed. As a going-away present to the seniors, the juniors invited them to the traditional Prom, held at Mesa College. Through effective planning of the decorations, the program, and refreshments, the hosts succeeded in making the evening memorable to all couples who attended. Final events for the graduates are telescoped into Senior Week, when they have a picnic, time off from school, practice for marching to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance, and informal get-togethers. Baccalaureate and Commencement find them gowned in robes for the impressive ceremonies marking the completion of four years in secondary school. Ann Cornelison and John Thome, senior class sponsors, supervise the many activities of this year's graduates. The old problem of which one is the best faces Bernard and Lorraine as senior picture time rolls around. Dolores Bare. Dale Williams, and Ruth Kerr as secretary, president, vice president respectively. guided the senior class through an outstanding year.

Juniors With the stellar performances of Barbara Brady and Mary Groves, the junior class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, succeeded in capturing the hearts of capacity audiences. Given November 22 and 23 by a cast of 16 and directed by Miss Irene Gray, the play was further enlivened by excellent performances of the two Casanovas. Larry Zinn and Norman Carroll. As guests of the seniors, the juniors were entertained at the annual theater party, February 21, where they saw Olivia DeHavilland's outstanding performance in The Snake Pit. They laughed at a stage show given by the hosts and later danced in the gym. Hours of planning and organizing on the part of the class officers—Marvin Jackson, president; Wesley Sparks, vice president; and Carol Buttolph, secretary—made this year's Prom not only their most successful undertaking but the season’s outstanding social event.

Sophomores Bongo, Bongo, Bongo, I don't want to leave the Congo sang the sophomore boys' chorus line in the Talent Revue as they paraded in savage attire. Topped by red yarn wigs, the black-faced comedians danced to their own singing. Not to be outdone, the sophomore girls, wearing hornrimmed specs and dressed in old-fashioned black bloomers and middies, did a goofus dance as their share in the entertainment. As their annual freshman-sophomore get-together, the second-year students entertained the frosh with the Winter Fun Frolic. The fun included dancing, a grand march, and a program centered around a ski lodge where various Hollywood celebrities were visiting. Headed by Jack Treece. president: Margaret Granat. vice president: and Thelma Neesham, secretary, the sophs more than shouldered their responsibilities by participating in athletic and scholastic events and cooperating in other co-curricular activities.

Freshmen Neophytes last fall, the freshmen entered senior high a bit mystified, but being versatile they soon adjusted themselves to their new surroundings. In spite of their load of required subjects, they filled many a niche in the co-curric-ular activities of GJHS. Directed by their officers—Clarence Burns, president; Grace Patton, vice president; and Patsy Sharp, secretary— the freshmen with the Student Council co-sponsored the White Christmas Drive, which was their biggest project. To contribute to the fun-packed Talent Revue, the frosh did a Cotton Candy dance. While the girls, dressed in brief pink and white costumes, danced to a catchy melody, the boys made and sold the fluffy confection to the audiences. Showing their appreciation for the hospitality of the sophomores earlier in the season, the freshmen reciprocated with a gala party held later second semester. FIRST ROW: Mendicelli. Madrid, Neff.

Seeking to portray vividly in picture and script life in Grand Junction High School during the 1948-49 school year, the Tiger staff strove to create a book of simple distinction. As far as cost would permit, they chose the best materials available and attempted to make the book truly representative. Dan Webster, editor, with his chief assistants Frances Barber, Joanne Erickson, and Jack Welch, photographer, planned the annual and supervised the work of the section editors. Giving the ads a professional look, Donna Campbell and Bill Orr directed the layout, selling, proofreading, and collecting of advertising. Miss Lillian Larson served as editorial and business adviser, with Delmer Born assisting with darkroom supervision. Helping with the production of the book, Kay Howard. Delores Watts, Joan Harr, Jim Hutchinson, Lorraine Wilkins, and Pat Grant, served as section editors. Helen Shader was copy editor. Assisting in the darkroom were Carolyn Edgar. Darlene Dorwart, Mary Ann Grant, Ronald Coomes, and Allen Gordon. When the theme of music was suggested, the art department volunteered to make the figures for tabie-top photography. The artists directed by Frances Barber were Barbara Brady, Monica Murphy, Diane Burris, and Bob O Daniel. In order to meet yearbook deadlines, Jim Hutchinson. Helen Shader, Dolores Watts. Kay Howard. Joan Harr, and Lorraine Wilkins plan layouts, copy, and pictures while Bernerd types schedules. Page 48 Orange and Black Giving students a variety of reading matter, news, features, editorials, and sports was the chief task of the student-edited Orange and Black. An International Honor winner in Quill and Scroll and an All-American in the National Scholastic Press Association in the past, the paper again sought to give a well rounded picture of school life. Leading the staff in their work on the paper, Larry Brownson acted as editor, with Eleanor Evans, assistant editor, aiding him in supervision of the various tasks. As business manager, Phyllis Wagner supervised the advertising department. Covering school activities, interviewing visiting notables, contributing to The Daily Sentinel and The Denver Post, and conducting student opinion polls were among the phases of the work of the journalists. In addition to learning newspaper fundamentals, staff members were also taught responsibility, cooperation, tact, and the ability to meet people. Many extra hours were spent after school in meeting deadlines for news and ads and in planning layouts. Nelda Pinkerton, Kay Howard. Joyce Sutherland. Dotty Silliman, Marilyn Sundal.

From the group, sextettes and triple trios often went to perform for various clubs. Negro spirituals, novelty tunes, and both modern and classical music were used to fit the girls for membership in Mixed Chorus. More advanced music was used by the experienced Mixed Chorus under the direction of Mrs. Grace Ritchie. Besides appearing in Greater Music Season concerts, the chorus also performed for the teachers convention and presented a pre-Christmas concert, which was also broadcast over KFXJ, for the combined service clubs. From both choruses various ensembles entered the solo and ensemble contest, bringing back high honors.

Participation in this and shorter plays and skits gave members much experience in acting before audiences and in cooperating with other members of the cast. Those not seen on the stage were responsible for various committees which make a play successful. The best short play which had been chosen by the members was sent to a play festival held at Mesa College. Each member of the cast and the play itself was judged, giving the Drama Club an opportunity to see how it rated with other schools.

( JOHN MAZZA End Co-captain All-State 1 I AA Football Battling their way through a tough football season, the Tigers finished with nine wins, one tie. and two losses, only to drop the State Championship to the Colorado Springs Terrors by one point. The season began September 10 with a 25-0 victory over the Cortez Panthers. Halfback Chuck Jones captured the scoring honors. On September I 7 at Price the Tigers deadlocked with the Dinosaurs 20-20 for the only tie of the season with John Benson, fullback, and Jerry Gordon, tackle, rating top playing honors. The first real display of a heavy passing attack was the Wheatridge game September 24, when the Bengals swept over the Farmers 13-0. Tim Campbell, halfback, and John Mazza, end, set up the two Tiger touchdowns with several aerial connections. Adding another tally to the win column on October 2, the passing attack of Bill McKay and John Mazza led the Bengals to a 41-7 victory over West Denver. Considered the underdogs in the October 8 classic with Cheyenne, the Tigers handed the Indians a 32-6 defeat. Again the offense was mainly a heavy aerial attack. Roger Peck was outstanding lineman of the game. Numerous fumbles left an opening for a 38-0 Tiger victory against the Montrose Indians on October 15. John Benson and Joe Petek led the heavy ground attack. Filling the air with passes to chalk up the fifth straight win, the Bengals beat the Pa-onia Eagles 39-0 in the October 22 classic. October 29 brought the power-house Colorado Springs team to hand the Tigers their first defeat in a 20-19 thriller. Tiger halfback, Tim Campbell, made perhaps the most spectacular run of the season with 73 yards of broken field running resulting in the second Bengal touchdown. With spirits at a low ebb from the Terror defeat, the Bengals still turned the November 5 game with Lakewood from a punting duel into a 6-0 victory. Old rivalry was renewed November 15 when the Tigers defeated the Panthers 20-0 on a muddy, snow-swept field at Delta. Kenny Evenson and Gene Taylor shared the Tiger offensive honors. The 28-14 victory at state semi-finals November 19 at Greeley brought another Tiger victory and a chance at the state crown. A heavy passing attack and relentless ground work was led by Chuck Ennis, center; Norman Carroll, end; and Alvis Fetter, tackle. With the State Championship at stake, the Tigers suffered a one-point defeat from the Colorado Springs Terrors. The Thanksgiving Day fracas was a thriller with the two Bengal touchdowns coming late in the third and fourth quarters as a result of a heavy passing attack. Fetter and Carroll played a big part in ground work. On the All-Star team the Tigers placed four men; Bill McKay, quarterback; Alvis Fetter, tackle; Norman Carroll, end; and John Mazza, end. The rest of the team consisted of five players from Colorado Springs and two from Greeley. Managers- Wayne Hovey and Clarence Burns. Page 65 Guy Abramo End. Charles Barker Tackle.

Track Under the expert guidance of Coach Ed Whalley, seventeen returning lettermen and a large number of aspiring recruits made up the Bengal track team. Weeks before the first meet were spent in long hours of calisthenics, laps around the track, and time trials—all important factors in training. The Tiger trackmen turned in top performances in the Rifle relays and the Delta meet as well as being outstanding contenders on Orange and Black field day. Rugged workouts put them in condition to take the Western Slope meet in which first-place wins made them eligible for the state meet in Denver. Returning lettermen and their specialties were Tim Campbell and Kenny Evenson, dashes; Don Perrin and John Mazza, 440; Tron Horn, Noel Welch, and Norman Carroll, 880: Charles Barker, mile; Jack Treece, Volney DeRush, and Reggie Hough. 440 relay; Jerry Noyes, mile relay: Chuck Jones high hurdles; Joe Petek, broad jump; Neil Horstmann, high jump; Bernard Dotson and Gene Taylor, shot put; Guy Abramo, discus.

In the past season the Tigers were unbeaten in ieague competition except for one game with Paonia. Thirteen lettermen from last year's squad were back this season. These boys included Tim Campbell, Dick Gilmore, Clair Clayton, Bill McKay. Chuck Jones, Bob Ginn, Wayne Hovey, Gene Taylor, Ed West, Ted Wing, Jack Treece, Jerry Klein, and Marvin Jackson.
