Davenport Page 6 ■ . - 4 ' f- iVV Ray C. Hume RoDert C. James Clyae Granere I. K. Boltz Men Wko Set tlie Slants Probably the most memorable phases of the 1950-51 school year for Supt. I. K. Boltz were the reliving of his Flying Classroom trip by giving talks to approach the hundred required, grappling with problems of school district reorganization, and facing a reaction- ary legislature to save and to promote desirable school legislation. Coupled with these was a height- ening of administrative responsibility in an attempt to give the boys and girls of the area the best edu- cation possible to meet the problems of a world torn by conflict. As administrative assistant, Ray C. Hume was build- ing and maintenance supervisor. Though construc- tion included chiefly additions to Tope and Colum- bus, elementary schools, Mr. Hume kept his sights set on the long awaited and much needed high school building. With quiet geniality, firmness, and efficiency, Robert C. James accomplished his many-sided duties as prin- cipal of Grand Junction High School. A friend and counselor of students, adviser and trouble shooter for teachers, and coordinator of school and commun- ity interests, Mr. James brightened many a moment with his chuckling sense of humor. Often heard through the halls, especially after hours, was the hearty, rollicking laugh of Clyde Granere, assistant principal and boys ' adviser. Coping with numerous problems, financial and otherwise, which concerned student activities kept him busy at his desk — or on the run — many an extra hour.

Hud or Key Activities Central hub from which stem the spokes of numerous student council and guidance activities is the office of the girls ' ad- viser, supervised with efficiency and assurance by Frances Hopton Cagle. Here the girls came for their class permits; the executive council formulated weekly discussion sheets; the juniors conferred regarding their Kuder tests; and tlic bulletin board committee, and many others, outlined plans. As school nurse, Rita Black joined the staff in the fall, pleas- ing everyone with her capabilities, her fresh point of view, and her Kentucky accent. The school health program was her specialized field. Oiling the administrative wheels through da -by-da ' know- how and efficiency, Harriet Keigley proved herself indispen- sable as office secretary.

Page 9 Dabmers in Coniniunications Displaying keen interest in the accomplishments of her speech students and Drama Club enthusiasts, Irene Gray taught a full schedule, directed plays, and completed her thesis for her M.A. from the University of Wisconsin. As director of publications, Lillian Larson kept her finger on the individualized aspects involved in publishing the school paper, annual, and handbook; in securing school news for publicity purposes; and in teaching journalism.

Lan ua es Despite a full time program of classes in Latin which she taught with expert understanding, Winifred Bull shared her hobby of photography with amateur shuttcrbugs by sponsoring Camera Club. Charmingly vivacious, Ann Cornelison made the Spanish language come alive for her students. As co- SfKjnsor of Y-Teens, she helped with club activities. Drawing upon her rich cultural background, Esther Conway not only taught her students Spanish and French but imbued many with her own love of the languages. All three belonged to the Language Arts Club to help coordinate their work with that of the English teachers. Tneir Specialty . . Business Giving instruction of utmost practical value were Arthur Harms and J. B. Wootten. Mr. Harms drew upon his own experience and wisdom to counsel students interested in sell- ing or in business. With patience and skill, Mr. Wootten trained seventy-two youthful drivers through countless hours of individualized driving instruction. In addition, he taught a class in world history. Ann Cornelison, Esther Conivay and Winifred Bull find a globe useful in their teaehing of the ctilture represented by foreign languages. Coming to GJHS from Garden City, Kansas, Reba Wing joined Virginia Runge as instructor in the commercial de- partment last fall. Together they sponsored Tri-S in addition to teaching typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping with business- like efficiency. Sharing rooms 210 and 211 they worked in close harmony, dovetailing their courses to make a well intc- Arthur Harms and J. B.

Mascot for their department was Mrs. Runge ' s six-year-old son, Jimmy, who commuted from GJHS to Lowell daily. In several instances, Miss Wing and Mrs. Runge offered the services of their students to teachers who needed assistance in supplying information of professional importance to key people over the state.

Page 12 Experts in Homeiiiakin Quietly and expertly supervising the intricacies of sewing and cooking, Gladys Glendenning and Vir- ginia Jacobs broadened the homemaking courses to include home planning, health, nutrition, and child care. Both sponsored the local Future Homemakers of America and found much opportunity for per- sonal counseling of the girls as they assisted students individually with specific problems and tasks. Both gave unstintmgly of their time after regular hours whenever girls needed special help. Graciously and cooperatively they shared their department for many student or faculty social occasions.

Books With long experience, love of books, and quiet helpfulness as splendid assets. Hazel Ela supervised the school library. Giving her capable assistance in the morning was Mary Benson, who was also part time study hall supervisor during her half day schedule. Ina Dyer also served as assistant librarian, ably con- ducted study hall, and helped to sponsor IRC. Weekly book jacket displays planned by the librarians helped to arouse student interest in reading. NotiiKj lovatioii. ' i famous in American history are John Thome and Isabel Benson.

Sculptors or Citizens Cognizant of the increased demands placed upon students in preserving the American way out of to- day ' s turmoil, teachers in social science realized their responsibility in building citizenship. Using their in- genuity and splendid backgrounds in current prob- lems, Isabel Benson and John Thome inaugurated new courses in world affairs and economics in addition to teaching American and world history. Miss Benson co-sponsored IRC, and Mr. Thome assisted with the athletic program. Each with individualized approach, Vernon Duck, Dan Roberts, and Bernice Branson tried to help boys and girls understand themselves, their community, and their world better. Through their social science classes they found opportunities to counsel boys and girls and to offer guidance in personal problems and regarding possible vocations and careers. Mr. Duck also taught shop, and Mr. Roberts had classes in junior high. Mrs. Branson assisted with IRC. Page 14 Foundation Builders Busy man about GJHS was Delmer Born, who taught classes in physics and supervised the audio-visual program. As presi- dent of the Grand Junction Education Association, he dis- played outstanding professional leadership in maintaining an alive organization. Loaded with a heavy schedule of biology classes, Gwen Mallory won the friendship and admiration of her students. She even found time to enjoy her Studebaker Commander, which she handled expertly since she took driver trainint; under J. B. last ' ear.

Moulders ot Men As coordinator of the physical education activities for School District Number One, Eugene Hansen supervised the high school athletic program. His office in the TAC served as the administrative center for the many-sided aspects of the sports program. Despite his added duties as recreational director for the city, Mr. Hansen managed to integrate the num- erous phases of the sports program. During the football and wrestling seasons, Ed Whallex and Carl Cox formed an excellent coaching duo, the skills of each complimenting those of the other. Mr. Whalley also taught chemistry. Carl Cox assisted with physical education for freshmen and junior high bovs and coached baseball. In addition to being part time recreational director, assisting with physical ed- ucation, and helping to supervise physical activities in the grade schools, versatile Bill McGraw coached A squad basketball, B football, and assisted with track. Joining spontaneously in their fun, Ruth Knox di- rected the physical education program for freshmen girls. Her vivacious imagination found expression in assisting the Pep Club with maneuvers and stunts for half time performances at football games and in sponsoring GAA. Page 15 Ours to Acliieve ] Freedom must generate in progress — this Is what it means to be American. The vision that the world is waiting is The same that traced its way in wagon-tracks Across empurpled plain and precipice, And whispered in the starlit tamaracks Where travelers told of freedom in the West Around the fires of hopeful bivouacs. . . . And as this continent was free to take. And thus awoke the hope of all mankind, So now, in hope, we hear the future break On the unsovereigned beaches of the mind. — Russell W.

This is all to clear the decks for Bill to get at the current Shower Chatter. No one else in the room takes any notice of the two and their antics, for the other 24 members of the class have 24 other jobs to work on. All the hustle and bustle simply proclaims that it is deadline day for the O B once again. Wandering over to 109 or up to 301 brings the change of scene to the speech classes with students giving talks, recording poems or short stories, work- ing on play reports, conducting panel discussions, or studying the fundamentals of voice improvement. From any one of the English rooms might emanate strains of music or the sound effects of a movie as audio-visual aids are employed particularly in the teaching of literature. Using as many practical de- vices as possible, the teachers help the students de- velop ability in oral and written expression, build vocabulary, improve their reading, and master other skills essential in communication. Through free read- ing and literature students learn to appreciate read- ' ing as a means of broadening their knowledge as well as a pleasure for whiling away leisure hours. liiiKtiKllr pi ' Cfi ' nfs her oiiiiiidii ax Chini (iiiil .loliii iralrh iliitiionsiy. Page 18 Mathematics, Science Probe Secrets World Still Holds Pungent odors permeate the atmosphere of the east side of the third floor as the science classes carry on their work in chemistry, physics, and biology. At various times throughout the year, the chemistry classes concoct such delicately perfumed mixtures as rotten egg gas in order to observe the chemical reactions. The smell of gas from a Bunsen burner might be noticed as one passes 311, the physics room, for the students v ithin are probably conducting an exper- iment which will show interesting facts about the world we live in today. Any perception of the smell of formaldehyde prob- ably is emitted from the biology room during one of the dissection periods. Students have an opportunity to observe specimens of frogs, clams, crayfish, and other pickled forms of some animals that inhabit the earth. In thj m.athematics department, GJHS ' eis study to hold their own in the complicated mathematical phases essential in the world today. Algebra students learn to solve the equations, while geometry students literally go in circles trying to prove difficult pro- positions. All courses in mathematics work toward building one ' s future career, but for some of the more highly technical fields of vo cation, students need the training which can be received in second year algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry.

Sounds of tools echo as those who participate in the courses of vocational education at the school on North Seventh learn practical skills. For the girls, courses in home economics give them a chance to plan and cook meals, learn the proper selection and care of clothing, and make general preparation for coping with the myriad problems which arise in running a home. As another opportunity giving students work experience the on the job training plan is offered to those who are 16 or over and wish to gain knowledge by actually taking a school- supervised position in one of the local business houses.

Commercial Studies Prepare Future Business Leaders Preparing to be the business men and women of to- morrow, students are trained in bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, and secretarial work. Throughout all five periods of the day, clicking keys and ringmg carriage bells may be heard coming from the typing room. After students master control of the keys, they learn the proper form for business letters, with speed and accuracy drills to test development. Knowing how to type proves valuable to students whether they en- ter office work or not, for thev also gain knowledge of theme writing and techniques of composing at the typewriter. In bookkeeping classes, students learn to keep rec- ords accurately and systematically and how to bal- ance that all important budget. Supplementing this study, a course in shorthand is offered. For about a month, the new shorthand students wander around in a maze tr)-ing to sort out the characters in their minds, and later they struggle to transcribe the char- acters while typing. Combining the techniques learned in typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping, secretarial work acquaints the students with the applications of what they have learned and gives them actual experience which proves to be valuable in future career plans. iff C 14 i n Elemental II , :i,j,l,„;i . iiiuml.s ;ii I (Uu jion Artliiir Barms.

Citizenship Is Prime Objective In Social Science Courses Social science students seem to spend most of their time gnawing on their pencils on test days, waiting for facts about governments of the local, state, and federal variety to return to their minds with some semblance of order and reasoning. The course is required of all freshmen in an at- tempt to acquamt the young citizens with outstanding social and economic problems and with some solutions to them. The world history course supplements the freshman course, painting colorful pictures that show the social, economic, and cultural development of the world ' s people from their origin to the present. Starting its first year in GJHS ' s curriculum with a great deal of popularity and success, a semester of the world affairs course was carried on. Members of the class par- ticipated in discussions of current events and world prob- lems with only rare clashes of opinions and ideas and a great deal of pleasure. Second semester the course shifted to a study of economics, which gave students much op- portunity for research. Although the joke page of the American Observer is almost always read first, nevertheless members of American history classes learn a great deal from their paper which presents valuable information and ideas on the world ' s latest happenings. The American Observer is just a supplementary part of some history classes which relieves the routine of learning dates, places, names, and conse- quences of important events in the history of our country.

Music, Art Courses Enrich Appreciation of Living High school voict ' s .ire raised in song ,is the mixed chorus and ensemble groups rehearse and perform for assemblies and various concerts. One of the most outstanding ensembles of the year was a group of freshman boys who start- ed their group while still in junior high school. Blending with the chorus for a special Christ- mas number, the high school orchestra and the chorus comphmented each other in a delight- ful performance. In the Greater Music Series, both the band and orchestra have distinguish- ed themselves, showing a great versatility in their choice of various types of numbers. With suc h popular ditties as The Thing and a ren- dition of John and Marsha, the band enter- tained the student body with a lively assembly which showed off the school ' s musical talent to advantage. Dabbling with water colors or oils, sketching, and carving arc all taken up in the three years of art that are offered. At various times throughout the year, GJHS-ers may be seen standing in front of the bulletin boards admir- ing the artistic talent which their fellow- students have shown in their pastel, water color, oil, anj black-and-white works.

Students Train for Safe Driving, Healthful Living A grating of gears, a gunning of the motor, and another student is off on the road that for him will lead to driving correctly, courteously, and safely. The school ' s co-curricu- lar course for training drivers has, in the two years it has been offered to students of Grand Junction High School, increased the number of Colorado ' s motorists by 204, 72 of which were added this year. In preparing to become drivers, students learn that all-important business of chang- ing a tire along with other important basic car mechanics. To top off the course with a last bit of fun and a first bit of night-driving, the new drivers take a night trip. Heels can be seen flying high over their owners ' heads as the gym classes take up the sport of tumbling. Together with basketball, volleyball, and other activities, tumbling has been popular with both the freshmen boys and girls in the high school physical education course. However, as spring approaches, all the pep and enthusiasm of the classes is carried to the baseball diamonds found on the Washing- ton Park athletic field. Here students shout their side line advice to team-mates and urge them on to do their best. When the classes are over, shrieks and giggles emanate from the shower rooms, proclaiming to anyone passing by that class is over for the day and that the shower is mighty cold. Gi t those elhoips up there. says Knoxie. Page 24 Culture and Study Give Lessons of How to Live Amo, amas, amat, 1 love, )ou love, he loves. Such words can be heard echoing in the halls around ' inified Bull ' s room as many of GJHS ' s students undertake the task of learn- ing a Latin vocabulary. However, after the first few weeks of study have given the students a working knowledge of Latin, classes take up famous Roman stories, learn ancient customs, and stud) ' a long gone civilization that still holds influence on our lives today. A jabbering of French issues forth from Esther Conway ' s class. Her ambitious students present skits, plays, and other entertaming perform- ances throughout the year to put their French to practice. On the more serious side of the study, the class make translations of French literary works into English. Besides having a great deal of fun in the class itself, Spanish students of Miss Conway and Ann Cornelison learn mteresting facts about the history and customs which originate in Spanish-speaking covmtries. All this study helps students to build understandmg of our near southern neighbors at the same time as they learn to read and speak the language.

Fourtli Step . . o the Goal Culminating four long years of high school, 23 seniors solemnly marched down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, having at last attained their goal. Using the theme Fun With ' 51, the seniors turned away from the traditional junior-senior theater party and held a party in the gym for the class of ' 52. The first part of the evening was spent in playing familiar parlor games; but dancing, with orchestra music, took up most of the four hours of fun. Decorations were carried out in a ci ixus theme with multicolor streamers forming a false ceiling and with a re- volving merry-go-round in the center of the gym. Selection of the class colors, rose and silver; the class flower, the talisman rose; the class motto; and Rev. Leon King as the baccalaureate speaker took place at an election early in the year. Plans were also made for the picnic at Glenwood, where the seniors made their trek in May for a day of swim- ming, eating, and just plain fun. Trying to make this the best year yet, the seniors provided an opportunity for the aspiring dramatists in the class to strut their stuff with the production of the senior play, Men Are Like Streetcars. This popular comedy had a cast of eleven girls and five boys. Traditionally entertaining and sometimes shocking the audience, the seniors presented an unforgettable Slouch Day. The skits provoked the laughing praise of the spectators and set the scene for the Orange Black day events which followed in the afternoon. Seniors greeted then ' picture proofs with laughs, moans, and groans, and only after much conferring and comparing with friends could the final choice be made. After the all-im- portant selection had been made, photos were exchanged with classmates, soon to be tucked away with other memories of high school days. Jack Treece, who took an active interest in sports, captained the basketball team, upheld his status as an outstanding stu- dent, and led his class as president. Assisting him were LaVerne Bradley, vice president, who was an SBA officer as a junior and a banner girl for two years; and Beth Stout, secretary, who was an active band student and queen of the Job ' s Daughters Sweetheart Dance. Acting as sponsors, Juanita Sanders and Charles Haywood ably assisted the students throughout their high school career.

Sponsors Norma Due and Edward Keswick assisted Larry Klumb, president; Har- ry Perry, vice president; and Barbara Talarico, secretary, in supervising and giving the final green light on the freshman plans for a banner year. Under the supervision of the freshman class, homerooms gathered food, cloth- ing, and toys to fill White Christmas baskets for needy families. As a re- sult of this work, 3 3 families had a happier holiday season. The White Christmas program is carried out an- nually by the freshman class and is their most important project. In return for the party given them, the neophytes entertained the sopho- mores at a Moth Ball in the gym on March 9. Lots of fun along with dancing and refreshments welcomed all who attended.

Davenport Page 52 - sherry Kilpatrick, vice president Oiticers Take tne Lead Enduring the weight of a myriad of time-and-energy-con- suming tasks plus being captain of the football team and giving his support to wrestling and track kept Rex Martin on the go all year. In addition to his regular duties of pre- siding over assemblies and student council meetings and at- tending executive council. Rex attended nearly all the school functions and was elected king of the 1951 annual. When the mike was lowered almost to the bottom, that became a sure sign that tiny Sherry was to preside over the assembly. All of her four feet eleven inches is packed with energy and good humor as she has shown in her participation in so many of GJHS ' s activities. For, in addition to being vice president of the student body. Sherry was elected banner girl and supported most of the school ' s sports and social events. Keeping minutes and records, along with writing letters, fell into Diane ' s lap as she carried out the duties of secretary of the student body. Diane, like Sherry, was elected as a banner Diane Dozzi, secretary girl, and the two girls could be seen marching behind the banner at football games and parades. Also during the year, Diane was elected queen of the annual, and she and King Rex were honored at a Coronation assembly. The trio of school executives worked with close co-operation as they ironed out problems and introduced new ideas into the school ' s program. The three attended the state student council convention at Ft. Collins and later in the year visited the Western Slope meeting at Craig. With ideas expressed at the two conferences, the officers aimed their goal high in improving student government and student-teacher relations. They carried out their work successfully and with a minimum degree of friction. However, they not only planned the year ' s work but also the year ' s fun. rage 54 Students Direct Activities Starting the year with an aura of friendhness, student council set aside the first week of school as Hello Week for all new students to have the chance to acquaint themselves with those returning to halls of GJHS. A name card was given each person to wear and a dance topped off the effort to promote a friendK feeling toward friends both old and new. A huge bonfire surrounded by cheering students showed the spirit which was stirred up before the big Fort Collins Thanksgiving Day game. The pep rally boasted speeches from the coaches and a dance afterward in the gym. Still another of the student council spon- sored activities was Career Month, which gave seniors a chance to hear the advantages of various vocations and choose which they preferred. Along with this, representatives of dif- ferent colleges held meetings to ac- quaint seniors with the qualifications of their schools. Each homeroom sends a representative to student council to help work out the problems the school faces and plan various projects of entertainment for students.

Girls Build Friendsl lip With several panel discussions throughout the year. Girls ' League strove to solve the problems that confront nearly every teenage girl. Their discussions took in the do ' s and don ' ts of dating in addition to problems of etiquette and personality development. High on the list of the activities was the tra- ditional Big and Little Sister party. Bad weather drove the girls to a cozy gathering in the gym where picnic lunches were consumed. Later the newly acquainted friends attended a movie. Officers Thelma Neesham, president; Mary Ann Fer- guson, vice president; Jane McElfresh, secretary; and Yvonne McNew planned and carried out a delightful Mother-Daughter Tea. mil (jirrs the old ichisTcers tub.

The wrestling assembly, accepted as an annual affair for the League, displayed the fine muscular coordination and fast thinking possessed by G JHS wrestlers. Just as Girls ' League is made up of all high school girls. Boys ' League boasts the membership of all the boys in high school. Chosen to direct and lead the boys ' activities during the year were Dick Beye, president; Bob Bacon, vice president; Jim Nylund, secretary; and Ronald Routh, freshman repre- sentative; with Clyde Granere acting as sponsor. Ronnie, Bob, Dick, and Clyde Granere look on as Jim pre. ients an idea. . 2 J3?n Page 5 6 Squad Lends hiitliusiasm Sporting their colorful and snappy new uni- forms, the 80 girls of Pep Club enlivened ath- letic events as well as assemblies and other activities. Clad in orange sweaters, white blouses, black slacks, black and white saddle shoes, tiny orange beanies, and white gloves, the girls marched with the band durmg football halftimes and parades. With catchy new hand claps, the ' added spirit and zest to their per- formances. The annual Sadie Hawkins ' Day events, which are sponsored by the Pep Club, gave the boys a chance to get back at the girls in a big way for the services the unwilling gentlemen perform. After two days of carrying books and holding doors and fountains, the girls could invite their choice of the enslavers to the Sadie Hawkins ' dance. During the year. Pep Club members enjoyed two out-of-town treks to cheer for the Tiger athletes. Both the GJHS Pep Club and band journeyed to Delta to participate in Delta ' s homeciiming parade. Later the girls, accompanied by club Fifteev for the leain. sponsors Ruth Knox and Ernestine Shuey, enjoyed a basket- ball game at Montrose. Traveling with the Pep Club as well as working with them at home games, the cheerleaders directed students as they gave yells for the Tiger teams. The GJHS yell-leaders also worked out the plans for a spirited pep rally before the Thanksgiving game. Leading cheers for Tiger teams are LeJa, Grace. Doris, and Penny. Ruth Kno.r. Patsy. Mary Jane.

Page 57 Students View World Pronlenis Bringing fun and prizes to revelers, members of IRC spon- sored their annual carnival in the gym on Nov. 4. However, this was only the first of a series of major activities for the club. Funds from the carnival helped to pay part of the expense of the nine representatives to the International Rela- tions conference held in Denver, Dec. 1 and 2. The two day convention was attended by Dick Urban, Richard Fox, Dale White, Sue Gormley, Kenny Lewis, Adrienne Trine, Maureen Ruckman, Carolyn Renick, and IRC sponsor, Isabel Benson. The combined efforts of the band and IRC on UN day, Nov. 24, made an impressive and spectacular halftime program during a football game in a symbolical pageant showing the ideals of the United Nations. Again utilizing the UN as a theme, IRC prepared a float for the Homecoming parade en- titled The UN and You, which featured a huge globe sur- rounded by the flags and people of many nations. The lovely creation which brought such a timely thought to the minds of all was awarded first place. After countless details were attended to by the president of the club. Sue Gormley; vice president, Richard Fox; secre- tary, Sally Welch; and sponsors, Isabel Benson, Ina Dyer, and Bernice Branson, along with members of the Mesa College Lordting strategic points on the globe are Isabel Benson, Ina Dyer, Sue.

Theme for the conference was Asia and Our Future, with Dr. Earl Swisher, professor, of Colorado University, giving the morning and luncheon addresses. Through the cooperation of the student council, homerooms each sent a representative to the conference; and several members of the publications de- partment also attended. Although the meeting climaxed the activities of the year, the IRC Club continued to hold its regular discussion meetings for the purpose of broadening the international understanding of its members.

Aspirants Develop Talent Entertaining an audience on two nights, the GJHS Drama Club presented the three-act comedy-mystery, The Mystery of the Whispering Bell. Although this was the major activity for the club during -the year, a number of one-act plays were sprinkled in to entertain high school students and to raise money for purchasing new flats. Members of the club attend- ed the Rifle meeting to display their talents and receive help- ful criticism to aid in developing their dramatic skill. In the spring, a play festival was held at Mesa College. Students from all over the Western Slope gathered in Grand Junction for two days of fun and acting as they presented plays and readings. Besides the two troupes of Drama Club, there is the honorary society of Thespians. Members of the two troupes work dili- gently on committees for plays, learning make-up, gathering costumes and props, and taking care of business details in order to win points toward becoming Thespians. The GJHS Thespian group boasts 2 members, seven of which were ini- tiated in the spring. Late in the year, Irene Gray, sponsor, and members installed a new Thespian organization in Fruita. Thespians Lois and Carolyn read over Martha ' s part in the senior i-hiss plan The mystery of the (ireen Skull iv soli ' ed. Debaters Matcli Wits After careful and extensive research, debaters from Grand Junction High School journeyed to neighbor- ing schools to match their wits against other high school debate teams. The question for the year was Resolved: That the American people should reject the welfare state. Lining up on both sides of the timeh ' question, members of the club formed teams of two, some negative and some affirmative. The local club played host to several out-of-town teams and carried on their debates in speech and American history classes, giving the students an idea of the pro- cedure as well as giving debaters practice. The pur- pose of the club is to train members in the fundamen- tals of public speaking and teach them to think quickly and to analyze the content of their oppo- nents ' remarks. The peak of the year ' s activities came with Slope and State debate meets, putting to a final test the skill members of the club had acquired through the year. Laying the plans for the year ' s work were Donna Gillett, president; Betty Israel, vice president: Sylvia Barton, secretary; and John Daniher, sponsor. Students Learn Appreciation On their armchair tour of France, members of French Club found color and romance in French historv and customs. They also learned appreciation for French literature by reading several classics in the original versions. In April, the club enlisted the aid of mixed chorus and the Spanish classes to carry out their assembly program. To climax a year full of successful acti- vities guided by Mary Guadanola as president, Dale White as vice president, Clara Sutter as secretary, and Esther Conway as sponsor, the club enjoyed a fun-filled picnic. Learniny pointers from Dehaic Ctiib, sponsor John Danihr, are officers Donna. Betty, and Sylvia. Resolved: The students of GJHS are given too easy tests.

Page 61 Skiers Haunt Sno vy Slopes With the first icy blast that depicted winter ' s arriv- al, ski enthusiasts dug out boots, poles, woolies, and other paraphernalia and made ready for another season of fun on the snowy slopes of ski runs. With the help of Gus Constantine as sponsor, ski club of- ficers, Berndt Holmes, president; Don Bla nke, vice president; and Linda Markrud, secretary, worked with the Grand Mesa Ski Club to make a successful year. This year as a special offer to ski club members, rates of fifty cents a day were in effect at the Aspen course for a few weeks during February and April. On Sunday mornings, rising early enough to get a good start, hickory fans traveled to Mesa, Rifle, Glenwood and Aspen to practice for perfection in their eristics, slaloms, and jumps. On March 11, several Ski Club members entered the races at the Rifle Invitational Meet. Climaxing the day ' s events were a banquet and dance held to honor the winners. Shooters Aim xor Sarety Established this year as one of the regular high school organizations, the Rifle Club has set its sights to the teaching of teenagers the proper handling of guns. Taking advantage of the rifles provided by the D RG Rifle Club, the young riflemen practice target shooting at their weekly meetings at the Na- tional Guard Armory. Building in rank as they build in skill, members may earn a series of individually gained grades and pro- motions. Boasting the rank of Expert Riflemen are several Tiger Marksmen including Mervin Greenlee, Bill Allen, Eugene Risch, Margaret Granat and Bill - Wadlow. Jim and Joe Harbison have gone a step be- yond this to attain the rating of Distinguished Marks- men, the highest honor in the field. ] iin. Linda, and Berndt give their skis a ruVdoicn.

Nevertheless, the final out- come of the game goes on record as a victory for the girls though some dispute the accurac) ' of the score- keeping. The Girls ' Athletic Association offers fun and sport all year round. Basketball and baseball rate high on the girls ' popular sport list. Activities through the year were directed by Beverly Barr, president; Bar- bara Plowman, vice president; Katherine Petek, sec- retary; Nadine Gallegos, head of sports; and Ruth Knox, sponsor. Displaying peculiar talents as freaks and clowns, members of G Club entertained the student body with the most unusual circus ever to be seen in Grand Junction. However, the boys are more well-known for their prowess on the athletic fields as each mem- ber has earned at least one letter in one of GJHS ' s major sports. Chief planners of the club ' s activities this year were Reggie Hough, president; Rik Horstman, vice pres- ident; and Gene Taylor, secretary. G-clubbers pre- sented a very striking float for the Homecoming parade which featured a huge, fluffy white G. Later in the year, the boys served as ushers at the Clair Clayton benefit concert. I.

In addition to the initiation at the be- ginning of the school year, another was held after first semester ended. During the year, the Tri-S girls joined members of Y-Teens at a meeting where the proper application of make-up was demonstrated along with do ' s and dont ' s of skin care. High- lightmg the club ' s activities for the whole year was the dance celebrating St. Patrick ' s Day. Following closely on the theme of the honored day, decorations were green set off by spark- ling white. Girls Build Fellowsnip Want to buy a basketball pencil? became a familiar cry given by Y-Teen members as they sold their Orange and Black pencils with the Tiger basketball schedule printed on them. In addition to the yearly pencil-selling program of the club, members co-operated willingly with their president, Pat Ro- berson; vice president, Emily Schneider; secretary, Pat Olford; and sponsors, Ann Cornelison and Gunhild Gustafson, making a successful and worthwhile year. Y-Teens and Tri-S fused to give a Thanksgiving tea for the faculty, and Y-Teens pro- vided the program for the Easter faculty tea. In all their activities, the girls kept their motto in mind as they worked and played together: To face life squarely — to find and give the best. Please pass the ketchup. Page 64 Students Acquire Training To offer social and club activities to members of the distri- butive education class who are hampered from taking part in after school activities because of the jobs they hold, Arthur Harms organized the DE Club last year. Significant accom- plishment this Ti ' car included attending the state meeting in Denver March 5-6 by four members, Darlene Miller, Walter Rettig, Bobbie Roberts, and Lois Campbell. Topping the year ' s activities was the annual dinner which club members gave as an appreciation to their employers. Of- ficers of the club were Darlene Miller, president; Lois Camp- bell, vice president; Cecelia Slater, secretary; wath Arthur Harms as sponsor. f I Patrol Assists Activities Woe be unto those sports spectators who caused disturbances and disorder at football games! For throughout the year, not only at games but at high school concerts and assemblies as well, the eight members of the Tiger Courtesy Patrol handled unruliness with efficiency. The boys also co-operated with the city police b) ' reporting overly-rowdy conduct. Acting as captain and head of the organization, Kenneth Sweetman was assisted by Gerald Ryan as lieutenant. Virgil Bunch was secretary; while John Speight, as sponsor, advised the boys and helped the group with its problems. Virgil. Ken. and Gerald plan TCP actiritie. ' i. Darlene.

The stunt was sponsored by Quill and Scroll, honorary society for ranking young journalists. Proceeds from the sale of valentines were used to pay for the gold loving cups presented to the yearbook king and queen. Selection of the royal pair was sponsored by the club. Under the guiding hands of Yvonne Glasgow as president, Jim Parker as vice president, Carolyn Kraft as secretary, and Lillian Larson as adviser, the ranks of the club swelled as new members were picked from first and second year journalism classes. The new members of Quill and Scroll entered activities with the club ' s usual high standard of hilarious and trying initiations.

Handbook Orrers Rererence Next September will see a new class of freshman along with new students who are perplexed by the strangeness which sur- rounds them. To come to their aid, handbook editors Marilyn Adams and Clara Sutter have laid plans for the 1951-52 Tiger handbook. Not only does the handbook guide newcomers but also serves as a handy reference for all students. The lively cartoons sprinkled throughout the booklet will be drawn by Marilynne Bownds. The handbook is published under the supervision of the publications department with Lillian Larson as adviser. Committee Works For Healtli Council Organized last year in order to inform students on problems of health, the health council was converted at the start of the second semester this year to a health committee which functioned under the leadership of student council. Richard Fox was retained as chairman of the committee which included Beverly Stroble, Jim Parker, and Kathleen Claxton. The group sponsored various discussions during the second semester on the importance of dental care and the part students should take in national health drives. Mrs. Rita Black was also a member of the committee and was helpful in compiling infor- mation to be presented to the student council for discussion.

Starr Compiles Yearbook With one eye always on the calendar where that fatal day of March 10 stood out with devilish clarity, the annual staff worked with increasing vigor to meet the deadline. The staff planned and compiled the 1951 yearbook always with the thought in mind of giving the students the best annual pos- sible within the budget. As editor of this year ' s annual, Amora Pantuso gave her time, talent, and a great deal of patience when faced with the uni- dentified pictures and mislaid name lists. The photographers, Kelvin Horr and Allan Gordon, dashed hither and thither snapping pictures of faculty, organizations, classes, and so- cial activities. Other staff members labored over scheduling ing pictures and mounting the prints in addition to preparing name lists, writing copy and selling advertising.

In addition to the complete coverage of high school sports events, club activities, and class news, the paper featured the popular Bengal Banter column of jokes and humorous happenings. Special eight-page issues were put to press as tribute to UN day, teachers ' convention, and senior week. As chief editor of the paper, Nancy Lehr kept all the tiny ends of publication tied neatly in a bow with help from ad- viser, Lillian Larson, when necessary. The key staff consisted of Jim Parker, managing editor; Gene Taylor, business man- ager; Pat Patton, news editor; Yvonne Mark, feature editor; Don Whisler, sports editor; Christina Fowler, typist; and Kel- vin Llorr, photographer.

Page 69 Voices Blend in Harmonions Son Throughout the school year, voices hfted in song echoed from the senior assembly during third and fifth periods. Those were the voices of 180 high school students enrolled in the chorus clacses. Directing the classes during the year was Thelma Brenton, who, although teaching for her first year at the high school has nevertheless been well-known in Grand Junction as a vocal instructor. For convenience and more individual attention, Mrs. Brenton divided the classes into groups, each of which sang only on certain days of the week. A number of movies were shown from time to time during the year which taught chorus students appreciation and in- terpretation of musical works along with relating interesting experiences in the music world. Students also carried on research to write special reports and themes. One of sei eral yroups. the double sextet often entertains serviee clubs. Softly, As in the Morning Sunrise. Accomijirnists Martha. Marilynne, Audrey, and Genevieve get together to compare notes. Page 70 Musicians Form Vocal EnseniDies In addition to participating in the regular chorus class, the more interested students worked toward becoming a mem- ber of one of the ensembles. The ensembles that were finally chosen from the classes donned their robes man ' times durmg the year to give performances at service clubs and other programs. Outstanding voices were selected and blended into harmony in mixed choir. Along with appearing at service clubs, the choir performed with the GJHS band and orchestra at two Greater Music Season Series concerts. Soloists and vocal ensembles participated in a local contest on March 10. Those who received a one rating were eligible to participate in the Western Slope Festival later.

Page 71 Musicians On Parade With the rhythmic cadence of the drums beat- ing a steady tatoo to guide their feet, members of the GJHS band paraded and maneuvered at all of the Tiger football team ' s home games. The halftime programs they presented enter- tained students and townspeople alike as the musicians displayed their ability to carry out intricate and impressive maneuvers. In addition to their halftime programs the school bandmen marched in parades for the Grand Junction and Delta high school homecomings and the Lions ' carnival. During the year, band combined talents with other high school music groups to present the Greater Music Series Season concerts. Climax- ing a successful year for the band were the spring contest for solos and ensembles and the marching and instrumental programs brought to Grand Junction during Band Tournament.

Page 72 Students Improve Abilities For the 80-piece GJHS orchestra, the year was a parade of successful activities. Donna Gillett played the double role of Concert Mistress and president of the organization, while Jo Ann Triplett acted as vice president, and Janice Ostrander as secretary. Broadcasting over station MUSIC, the orchestra lent its talent and aid to the band to present a de- lightful assembly program. In addition to the un- veiling of The Thing, the Yuga sailors warbled a rendition of The Roving Kind. After careful coaching by director Marion Jacobs, several instrumental ensembles were featured m the third annual Greater Music Season concert in Feb- ruary. Soloists and ensembles participated also in a Band and Orchestra Mothers program on Feb. 22. In March, soloists and ensembles competed in the third annual Solo-Ensemble Festival. Those receiving the high one rating were presented with music letters in an assembly in the spring. Also in March, the music department sponsored a Pops Symphonette Concert in place of the usual Blackouts. Marion Jacotis. (Jireclor of band and orchesti-a. OnJif sill} jffi -crs Janice.

Gridders Win S even Traveling 2,000 miles to and from grid encounters in three states, this year ' s Tigers won seven, tied one, and lost four of a difficult twelve-game schedule. Utilizing a balanced T formation with emphasis on speed and deception, the Bengals gained the majority of their yardage by a sustained ground attack. Always a slow starting team, the Tiger eleven seldom gained co-ordination and reached full effectiveness till the second half. With the defeat of the Craig Bulldogs under their belt the Bengals journeyed to Price, Utah, to meet the formidable Carbon county Dinosaurs. The valiantly fighting Tigers came from behind to tie the Utah team 13-13. Easily downing the Rifle Bears the Orange and Black faced the highly-touted Loveland Indians where a well-groomed offense paid off as the Tigers came from a six-point deficit to a 14-6 win. October saw the Grand Junction Tigers journeying to Pueblo where they tasted defeat for the first time as they failed to stop Centennial ' s late game rally and fell 25-13. The follow- ing week saw the Bengals in Wyoming where they met the Laramie Plainsmen blow-for-blow and emerged victorious as the game ended 14-6. Returning home the Tigers easily pass- ed over Durango as they anxiously awaited the coming of their traditional rivals, the Colorado Springs Terrors. Observ- ing the Terror game as the Grand Junction homecoming, many fans were disappointed as the hard-fighting Tigers fell before the powerful Eastern Slope team 14-6. Suffering a crushing 27-7 defeat at the hands of the Mont- rose Indians, the Bengals came back with wins over Delta and Englewood. Thanksgiving day the Orange and Black met Fort Collins, the Northern League champions, in the state AA semi-finals. Although enjoying an early game lead the Tigers lost the close 20-12 decision. Page 80 Bengal Starters Though composed of veterans and novices, large and small, the Tiger varsity players had team spirit and the desire to win in common. Puttmg a team to- gether out of a relatively small squad proved a big job to coaches Ed Whalley and Carl Cox, let alone coping with the ever plentiful injuries. This handi- cap, however, failed to overshadow the experience and ability of the mentors combined with the com- plete cooperation of the squad. Early season injuries dealt a damaging blow as they kept probable starters Rex Martin and Joe Beckley on the bench through most of the season. These deficiencies were filled by the necessary shifting, and the result was the usual starting line-up with Tom Reardon and Jack Treece at ends, Allen Jensen and Larry Campbell at tackles, Reggie Hough and Verne Anderson at guards, and Barrel McLeod at the center spot. Backfield duty fell on the responsible shoul- ders of Flovd Hunt, quarterback. Bill Mazza and Volney DeRush, halfbacks, and Gene Taxlor, full- back. Nothing is to be detracted from Bernard Bertinetti, Shorty Tripler, and Jim Nylund, who, though not starters usually, were regulars on the Tiger defensive squad.

Probably tops among these is Volney DeRush, whose twisting, turning an- tics while packing the pigskin proved elusive to the spectator ' s eye let alone to the opposition. Gene Taylor, the hard driving fullback, kept the opposi- tion on their toes with his dependable punts. Taylor also kicked extra points for the Tigers and finished the season with a fine average of points per try. Halfback Bill Mazza ' s ability to squeeze through a small hole gave the Bengals yardage aplenty. Ends Jack Treece and Tom Reardon were standouts with their pass receptions and fine play on the defensive. Tlie Tiger reserves proved that a victory in a tight encounter often rests on the shoulders of the men sitting on the bench. Boasting quality and not quan- tity the Tiger substitutes could be depended on to provide competent players to fill every position should the occasion arise. A lot of credit goes to manager Dick Sager whose work keeping the team and coaches supplied with necessities at home or visiting is essential to any squad.

JayVees Win Four Gaining valuable experience to be put to use in later years on the varsity, this year ' s edition of the Junior Varsity won four, tied one, and lost two tough ones out of a rugged seven game schedule. Under the leadership of coaches Bill McGraw and Charles Haywood, the large but mostly inexperienced squad opened a game on Palisade ' s field and fell to the Bulldogs 13-6. Not in the least daunted the JayVees next encountered the Cedar- edge Cubs, proving easy victors by a score of 27-7 on the Lincoln Park field. Meeting the highly touted Olathe Pirates in their second home game, the JayVees had little trouble as they trounced the visitors 39-7. Traveling to Central, they made it three straight as the Warriors were unable to stop them and fell 27-7. Meeting Hotchkiss as visitors, the Jay- Vees dropped their first game in four starts losing a narrow 7-5 decision. Returning home, the Juniors encountered the Delta Panthers, whom they topped by a 2-0 margin. The JayVees had recorded four wins and two losses as they went against the Fruita Wildcats for the seasonal closer. Wins and losses stayed as the two teams finished with a 6-6 dead- lock. The JayVees moved a few players to the varsity during the season, and at the close of the season practically the whole first string went to assist the varsity in their late season games. Though many will move up, the JayVees will retain some players and add others from the incoming class of ' 55. JayVee coaches Bill McGraw and Charles Ifainriiixl (?i.s- ' '  .v.s ' fodlliall .

Opening the season on their home floor, the Bengals started off the win column by defeating the Glenwood Springs De- mons. Things looked mighty bad for the Tiger hoopsters as they dropped the next five straight. Losing the first twro of these five on Carbon and Craig ' s home floors, the Orange and Black returned home to be shellacked by their alumni. The Tigers dropped their first interscholastic tilt on their home floor in a return bout with the Carbon Dinosaurs. Taking to the road again, the Bengals split a p.iir with the Gunnison Cowbo}s. In the next encounter, the Tigers rebounded over the Craig Bulldogs, their former victors. Leaving the comeback trail, the Bengals lost a thriller to the Rifle Bears. A spark of hope came to the Orange and Black as they halted the Paonia Eagles and Delta Panthers on their home floors. The Montrose Indians proved too powerful as they romped roughshod over the Tigers twice. The Bengals began looking up again as they defeated the Paonia Eagles a second time and came back to top the Rifle Bears in a second tilt. Ending the season, the Bengals went down before Delta and lost to Denver Manual in the playoff for state tourney competition. Captains Jack Treece and Xeil Horstniann practice tip ins.

Page 85 Starting Quintet This year ' s Tiger basketball squad, who were almost always outdistanced in height by their opponents, but never outhustled or outplayed, managed to sal- vage seven wins out of a 1 5 game schedule. The squad, consisting of five seniors, six juniors, and one sophomore chose Jack Treece and Neil Horst- mann to guide them through their 1950-51 campaign. The Bengal starting five usually consisted of Gene Taylor at the guard, with Jim Nylund and Shorty Tripler at the forwards, Floyd Hunt at the center and Ed Leach at the post, with able backing coming from Bill Mazza, Sheldon Murphy, Jack Treece, Neil Horstmann, Jared Morris and John Bonella. The Tiger cage squad was made up of no individual stars, but all had outstanding abilities. Jimmy Ny- lund kept his opponents on their toes with unceasing hustle and deadly shooting. Shorty Tripler kept the Tigers in the ball game with his uncanny shooting from all angles. Floyd Hunt was the outstanding defensive player on the Tiger squad, and he also did a yeoman ' s work on the backboard. Gene Tay- lor kept the enemy in hot water all the time with his accuracy on long set shots. Eddie Leach was always a potential scoring threat, being equally good with either his right or left hand. Ed also got his share of the rebounds. Prospects for next year are favorable as three of the starting five and seven of the squad of twelve men are returning.

Non-Varsity Fives Seven freshni.in hoopsters, under the j uid.ince of Dan Robert?, completed their nine game schedule in which they showed promise of a very good future varsity despite a mediocre record of five wins and four defeats. Taking the opener from the Cedaredge B, the freshmen were humbled by Fruita and Rifle but defeated Appleton in the meantime. They bounced back to defeat Collbran twice, 26-23 and 24-23. The B squad was soundly trounced by Delta 68-28. How- ever, they followed this with a triumph over Paonia 29-25, but dropped the final game of the season to Rifle 37-3 1. With a team composed completely of sophomores with occa- sional A squad reserves moved down to play with them, the Jay Vees, under the watchful eye of John Speight, compiled a creditable record of nine wins and four losses. The JayVees opened with a 2 8-15 win over a Central squad. Bolstered by A squad reserves for Cedaredge, the JayVees nevertheless lost 27-23, but they bounced back to register double wins over Collbran, 34-26 and 67-34, and DeBeque, 51-20 and 47-20. After losing to Fruita 52-28, the JayVees divided a pair with Appleton, winning one, 3 8-2 8, but losing the other, 31-27. The JayVees then thumped the Telluride Miners 61- 42. After splitting a pair with Montrose, losing the first, 50-43, but winning the second, 44-43, the JayVees closed their season with a 3 5-3 3 win over Delta. Fir.s-t Row: Decker. Ditran. Unrein.

Traveling to Price for their opening match, the Bengals trounced the Dinosaurs 42-5. A journey to Montrose brought a 24-23 victory for the Tigers over the 1950 state champs. A return match with the Price Dinosaurs gave the Tigers another victory by a score of 43-7. Next the Tiger matmen swamped the Delta Panthers 42-3. The Hotchkiss Bulldogs were the next victims as the Tigers defeated them 45-20. The next match proved a toughie as the Bengals squeezed by with a 24-17 win over the Fort Morgan Maroons. Meeting the Indians of Montrose again, the Tigers gave them a more decisive licking than before by beating them 24-16. Another pair of victories was added when the Tigers thumped the Paonia Eagles by scores of 48-5 and 41-3. The Bengals then defeated the strong East Denver Angels rather handily by a 30-12 margin. Another meeting with the Hotchkiss Bulldogs ended in a 47-2 win for the Tigers. In the Western Slope tour- nament, the Bengal matmen had to come from behind to tie the Montrose Indians for top honors with 65 points. In this tournament, the Tigers placed five slope champs in Bill McPeek, Volney DeRush, Rex Martin, Dick Griffith, and Harry Dunning. Five Tigers were also runners-up. In the state meet at Denver the Tigers finished fifth with 2 1 points. Bill McPeek and Volney DeRush emerged as state champions, while Lynn Griffith and Joe Gallegos won second and fourth places, respectively.

Page 88 Ti er Nine With baseball moving into prominence in the sprmg, a large squad of diamond hopefuls tried for a berth on Coach Carl Cox ' s 1951 Tiger baseball team. Coach Cox built his team around Gene Taylor, Jack Treece, Jim Nylund, Jared Morris, Ed Leech, all returning veterans. Pitching was the major problem confronting Cox, but the boys he was counting on to handle the pitching chores came through with creditable performances. With the squad being composed of mostly underclassmen, prospects loom good for next season. Winners in the league which consists of Central, Rifle, Fruita, and the Tigers, played the top team of the Upper ' alley league, which is composed of Gunnison, Montrose, Delta, and Paonia. The winner of this game in turn played the winner of the Durango league for a berth in the state tournament which may be held in Grand Junction in June. Having played the toughest and most varied schedule the school has ever had, the Tigers had rough times with the Price Dinosaurs, the Montrose Indians and the Colorado Springs Terrors. Other nines played included Paonia, Central, Fruita, and Rifle. First Row. Trine. Klumh. Cottier. Bacon. McPeek. f econd Ron-: Israel. DeLio. Leach. Coulso?t. Arant. Third Roic: Ky- lund. Morris.

These twenty-four, together with a crew of freshmen and some squad additions, provided enough balance and depth for the team to win the Mesa Invita- tional and the Delta Invitational track meets. Five seniors were included among the lettermen. The only boys on the team who finished their careers this year were sprinters, Neil Horstmann, Jack Treece, and Reggie Hough; hurdler, Volney DeRush; and discus thrower, Denny Marriott. Thirteen juniors, including Tom Rear- don, Bill Mazza, Larry Campbell, Penny Burris, Paul Maaske, Bill Cline, Charles Stoddart, Lynn Griffith, Ivars Braslins, Shorty Tripler, George Battels, Sheldon Murphy, and Don Scarlett, comprised the nucleus of the squad. Sophomore lettermen included Jared Morris, Gareld Brown, Bob Whiteside, Frank DeLio, Hugh Cook, and Dale Foster. In addition to the aforementioned meets, the Bengals entered the Rifle Relays and the Western Slope meets. Those qualifying entered the state meet in Boulder, May 12. The main feature of the track team ' s success this year was the terrifically stiff competition in all events. In order to enter an event a Tiger athlete had to outdo many of his teammates in practice. Campbell to Hough in a relay. Get set! Go! First Row: Cook, Foster. Whiteside. De Rush. Hough. Second Row.

More- over, they give recreational opportunity to a large number of boys and girls who do not enter varsity competition. In Grand Junction High School, it is the policy of the directors of the physical activity pro- gram to provide as broad and varied a program as possible. By working closely with the City recreation program, the school helps to coor- dinate the physical and recreational activities offered by the community.
