School Administrators Robert Jniiies, hifjii school principal, reads a letter of ailmiiiistra- tii ' C importani ' c. Do you realize what an enormous job the Grand Junction school administration personnel have done in only one year in working out school district reorganization problems? Nitsi earnestly demanded of Wit. There have been myriad problems in ironing out reorganization details to assure a smooth running program in School District 51. A great deal of this load has fallen to I. K. Boltz, superintendent of District 51, who has used his inexhaustible patience and ad- ministrative ability to good advantage. Let me tell you something about his equally efficient secre- tary, Miss Margaret Benge, Wit interrupted. Miss Benge is really much more than a secretary. She ' s drawn on her vast wealth of experience to keep the administration office a smoothly functioning organization. Miss Benge has been able to accept a lot of extra responsi- bilitv because of her background, Nitsi agreed. Another member of the administration staff is Ray C. Hume, whose official title is assistant superintendent of School District 51. Mr. I lunie ' s duties include taking charge of the building of new schools plus the maintenance of the old. He also pur- chases school supplies for the whole district, which takes in most of Mesa County, she continued. For eight years Robert C. J.inies has been piiiicipal ot Grand Junction high school, Wit offered. During that time he has taken time to council students about career and per- sonal problems with a fairness and inierest winch show his desire to make (iJHS successful in Iniikling giH)d citi ens in a democracy. Page 8 Clyde (Jrancir mlils n sii(i if l mii to the ni noil iirr mint lnillilin as Mrs. Harriet heiyley ami Mrs. Maria Viinu-roii tout; oil. Student Counselors Clyde Granere, assistant principal and boys ' adviser, effi- ciently managed the numerous facets of student association finances and other administrative problems. Many times he could be found spending extra time helping to plan and carry out student activities, confided Nitsi to Wit. The girls ' adviser, Mrs. G. Maria Cameron, stepped into her new posi- tion with ease and assurance. Her friendly, understanding attitude made her a favorite with students and faculty alike, admiringly confided Nitsi. The job of office secretary isn ' t easy, mused Nitsi, but charming Mrs. Harriet Keigley handled it with finesse. Along with her regular office and secretarial duties, she supervised the office girls and acted as school registrar. Voice of the People As they crawled out from the folds of a memo that Supt. I. K. Boltz had picked up at high school, Nitsi and Wit found themselves surrounded by an important looking group dis- cussing the business affairs of School District 51. Know- ingly, Wit satisfied Nitsi ' s womanly curiosity by revealing that the men were the members of the Board of Education. As they heard mention of plans for a new high school, the eager bookworms perked up and learned that the long range building program is only one of the numerous aspects of business connected with the reorganized district. Hiring staff personnel, handling school finances, determining poli- cies, and considering all the varied facets of education are the concern of these elected representatives of the people who work in close coojieration with school administrators. Pausing a moment from their discussion of plans for the 7iew Dr. Warren Shelled) . Oliver Reed, I. K. Boltz. George high school are the Board of Education members James S. Gormley. Bunte, Joe Chamberlain, and Harold Zimmerman, secretary. Page 9 Jills h ' iiihl nilrre t iny Z(I(jIu(J! rliiss.

Students use drawings, specimens, workbooks, and even make dissections along with their regular textbook work. Mr. Born cleared a lot of everyday questions pertaining to gravity, light, sound, electricity, and numerous other aspects of physics by demonstrations and explanations in his classes. The first semester he kept the students busy as a bookworm in a best seller writing reports and doing experiments, but he eased up later when field trips to places like Martin ' s Mortuary, City Water Works, and the Oxygen Plant diversified routine class work, com mented Nitsi. Under the instruction of Ed Whalley, students learned chem- ical formulas and the fundamental laws of chemistry. This knowledge was put to use when they mixed their own solu- tions on the two lab days a week. Wit addeil.

Dealers In Numbers Making a round of the mathematics classes, I found how busy the teachers are, Wit confided to an interested Nitsi. For instance, Basil T. Knight, in addition to his c lasses in first and second year algebra, supervises the sale of SBA tickets. Miss Lois Baughman, who teaches plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry, is also a co-sponsor of the class of ' 5 3. Besides his coaching duties and the responsibility of his general mathematics and algebra classes, Edward Keswick is one of the sophomore class sponsors. Mrs. Juanita Sanders finds a full schedule in teaching algebra and general mathematics. Co-sponsoring Y-Teens fills Miss Gunhild Gustafson ' s time when she ' s not teaching algebra and plane geometry. Mrs. Juanita Sanders displays a coming math project to Miss Gunhild Gustafson. Miss Lois Baughman. Ed Kesrvick. and Basil Knight. Page 11 t,r J €. CuiUrAl- -H Practicing Citizens I found that students of GJHS have an excellent opportunity to become i;ood drivers, revealed Nit. Driver training, which was introduced to (iJHS three years ago, is instructed by J. B. Woot- ten and gives eight weeks of class work, including the study of Colorado state driving laws, safety rules, the parts of a car, and the general idea of driving a car. When this work is completed, the students use this knowledge in actual driving. In this class which is taken during study pe- riods, they master signaling, driving in traffic, backing, parallel parking, angle parking, and safe maneuvering of a car, Nitsi added. Arthur Harmn explainn the iirinciplr.s niitl purposes uf DE to Lois. ■:.i .ii Say, Nitsi, did you know that distributive education, under Arthur Harms, allows students to work afternoons? questioned Wit. Not only that, but this course for seniors allows them to receive one credit for classroom training and an additional credit for working afternoons. Students have to work 15 hours a week and 3 weeks a year to earn their credit. The group this year was composed of 29 students who earned approximately $20,000 this school year. Not just anyone gets to take DE either, Nitsi added. Those who take elementary retailing have the first choice of entering the class. Students already having jobs are given the second chance, and others may enter only if there is enough seating space. Mr. Harms, who also sponsors DE Club and the senior class, gives his students a good background for the business world by instructing them in sales promotion, business math, and getting along with people, Nitsi concluded.

Wddiirii ponders on the best place to iio Page 12 Homecrafters In a refreshing trip through the homcmaking classes conducted by Miss Gladys Glendenning and Mrs. Vir- ginia Jacobs I wiggled around and found records of this year ' s work, boasted Nitsi. With assistance from these two supervisors students completed projects in nutritious meal planning, home beautification, needle work, and sewing. Besides they helped many other de- partments with their social functions. Proper and eco- nomical use of household appliances also intrigued me. Just before being unceremoniously whisked into a dust- pan with scraps of cloth, thread ravelings, and other de- bris, I learned that both of the home economists arc sponsors of the Future Homemakers of America, an or- ganization which aids in the development of creative leadership in home and community. I ventured into the shop where Vernon Duck and Har- mon Hallenbeck were busy helping boys with sawing, measuring lengths, and planing wood to go into many interesting objects. The boys make many beautiful and handy wood articles with manual tools. Through the acrid smell of fresh cut wood and the haze of sawdust, I learned that Mr. Duck is also one of the sponsors of the junior class and that Mr. Hallenbeck supervises all the activities of the Tiger Courtesy Patrol, bragged Wit. Then I grabbed a pant cuff and took a lively ride to a mechanical drawing room. I flopped on a desk and observed these two gentlemen giving assign- ments to students resulting in accurate scale drawings of mechanical devices. Being completely exhausted by all the buzz and hum of activity, I curled up for the night in a book where I had an educational feast on engine parts. ' We kneiv yon were coming so we baked a cake. ' Why does everything happen to met ■It turned out irell. Miss Gladys Glendenning assures Mrs. Vir- ginia Jacobs. Looks like a good idea, shop teachers, Harmon Hallen- herk nnd Vernon Dnck. agree. Page 13 Vocational Artisans Wiggle over here to this upholstered car sc.ii, Wit called, and let me tell you about the high school ' s ter- rific vocational training program, Nitsi. First I ' d better explain that there are really three divisions. One is body and fender. Don hitford directs the boys as they re- pair wrecked cars. The second division is machine shop. This course is instructed by Gus Constantine, who teaches the bo s how to use properly such tools as the tool press, saws, hammers, vices, and other useful imple- ments. Third is auto mechanics, the class where boys learn the complicated operations of disassembling cars, repairing and making adjustments, and replacing worn out parts. In general, the boys learn to diagnose car troubles and to do away with the cause of the difficul- ties in this auto mechanics class which Frank Turner instructs. It ' s plain to see what practical applications drand Junction High School students can make with what they learn in these classes, Nitsi thoughtfully com- mented. Not only GJHSers, my dear Nitsi, Wit corrected. The vocational training staff I already mentioned, headed by Herbert Benson, doesn ' t stop with teaching just the students in high school. The extensive program also provides classes for men. Already the courses have helped about 2,000 men to learn fundamentals in car repair and machine handling. In addition to this part of the program, the shop teachers instruct students from Palisade, Central, and Fruita High Schools. All together about 120 teenagers participated in the classes each day which were held from 8 to 11, 11:30 to 2:30, and 5 to 6. 1)1 It) miiKil lull i.v llic n ' rn-t in iiurking in auto mechaim w ihis: Mdnlrrii iif loiiiiilii-aird machinrry is learned in machine xho ).

This is hoiv it ' s done, ' Doris explains to freshmen students. yym It ' s up and over  a fast game in a hoys ' gym class. Builders of Health While untangling myself from a volleyball net, I got an inside view of the athletic department, explained Wit. Dan Roberts and Carl Cox instruct the boys ' gym classes in a wide variety of sports, including football, speedball, volleyball, wrestling, basket- ball, cageball, and Softball. Coach Cox also assists Ed Whalley, head coach, in building the Tiger football and wrestling teams. Added to their other responsibilities, the coaches help sponsor G Club. Completing the boys ' athletic staff are Eugene Hansen, athletic director, and Bill McGraw, head basketball coach and G club sponsor, who is assisted by Bob Johnson, a newcomer to the faculty and coaching staff of GJHS, concluded Wit. Eavesdropping downstairs I overheard the girls ' gym instructor, Mrs. Lillian Pcth, conferring with the school nurse, Mrs. Jeanne Schellenberg, admitted Nitsi. Mrs. Peth told of the girls ' physical education program which includes soccer, basketball, tumbling, softball, track, and even dancing. Mrs. Peth also keeps Dusy as a co- sponsor of Pep Club. ■ ■ Aside from her tasks of caring for sick students, ' filling out permits for athletes, and taking charge of dentalMn- spection, Mrs. Schellenberg advises the Health council, volunteered Nitsi. She is on duty at the high school all day to consult with students who need her assistance and to take care of any emergency caused by illness or injury. Page 15 Moulders of Citizens Our American way of life means a lot more to me now, confided Wit to Nitsi after he had spent several weeks eavesdropping in the num- erous social science and history classes. Now-a- days teenagers not only learn facts about civil and world concerns and how to interpret them; but they also study current affairs and the basic principles of democracy which enable them to become better citizens. Social science students also consider community living and learn about vocations, concluded Wit. Capability might well be the middle name of the staff members this year, avowed Nitsi. Besides her social science classes, Mrs. Bernice Branson teaches American and world history and helps with IRC. Assistant foot- ball coach, Dan Roberts, is freshman sponsor and has classes in junior high in addition to handling a social science course. New this year are Robert Johnson, who coaches B squad football and basketball; Don Larsh, who has junior high classes and sponsors Ski Club; William Barron, who teaches two American history classes, one in social science, and conducts two study halls in jun- ior high; and David Lohr, who helps at the administration office besides teaching world history. American history teachers, John Thome and Miss Isabel Benson, also have half year courses in eco- nomics and world affairs. Miss Benson has a world history class and co-sponsors IRC, while Mr. Thome has charge of the athletic program equipment, Nitsi further commented. Carl Cox exphiinx the layout of a good community plnn to his social science students. Striving to learn more about all parts of the globe. Boh and Ted prfifif from Dnrid f.ohr ' s explanation.

Leaders In Arts Being musicaUj ' minded, Nitsi asserted, The music coming from the senior assembly is the mixed, boys, and girls choruses under the direction of Mrs. Thelma Brenton. Sometimes the band or orchestra, conducted by Marion Jacobs, accompanies them. Aided by the band sergeants and officers, Mr. Jacobs used the sunny days for training the hand in snappy marching for the competitive spring band tournament, offered Wit. Knoxsangly Nitsi repHed, Mr. Jacobs and Mrs. Brenton spent many extra hours training indi- vidual ensembles which have entertained for school and community events and participated in niimerous concerts. Both the orchestra and chorus performed over Mutual stations from coast to coast during the Christmas season. Art under the direction of Miss Ruth Higgins must be fascinating, marveled Nitsi, Along ■with painting and sketching, she leaches sculp- turing, clay modeling, and plastic car ' ing. Miss Higgins, who is the Junior Red Cross and bulle- tin board sponsor and secretary-treasurer of the Grand Junction Community Education As- sociation, teaches art students to express them- selves creatively through numerous artistic med- iums. 2 Are yov sure rfs a lamp:? qu rie Miss Ruth Higgins, art teacher.

Under the instruction of Miss Prances X cbcr and Miss Reba ' ing, who both sponsor Tri-S, students learned the parts of the typewriter besides developing typing skill, leariilng correct letter forms, and mastering other mechanics. The typists checked their skill through speed tests. Bookkeeping and shorthand, also taught by Miss Wclx ' r and Miss Wing, complete the commercial program. Shorthand students first mastered the characters later using them in actual dictation, added Wit. Elementary retailing, instructed by Mrs. Ililda Delaplaine, helps to prepare students for the business world, continued i ' t. Business math, instruction in operating a cash regis- ter, learning to handle customers, plus numerous other busi- ness necessities are included in the course. Students having studied elcmcntarv retailing are given first chance to enter DE. Business teachers. Miss lieha Wing. Mrs. Ilildn Detaptainc.

Investigating, I found that the language arts group was meeting. Curling up to listen, I discovered that many of the English teachers have co-curricular activities whic h lend a break to teaching, revealed Nitsi. Miss Emma Groom and Miss Ruth Wood instruct third and fourth year English students. Miss Groom also has the respon- sibility of being SBA bookkeeper. Miss Virginia Fulghum, be- sides teaching first and third year English, is a senior class sponsor. Co-sponsoring Pep Club and sponsoring Bible Club is Mrs. Aluine Whalley, who teaches freshman and junior English, Nitsi explained. Enlivening his sophomore English classes with his twinkling English teachers, Mrs. Aluine Whalley and Miss Emma Groom plan daily assignment books for their I ' lnsses. humor is John Pendergrast. To instruct freshmen in improv- ment of reading and written expression as well as other skills in communications are the aims of Mrs. Sadie Hogsett and John Sutrina. Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch is a sophomore class sponsor and teaches English fundamentals to first and second year students, she continued. These teachers strive to give students a basic understanding of their own language. The first two years present the most significant fundamentals of reading, speaking, writing, and listening. Junior classes emphasize American literature, and the senior course is concerned with a study of English liter- ature and greater improvement in communication skills. Bob tries to convince Shirley that sentence diagramming is simple. Page 19 .1 rfcoi •! . ml iinirhinr offers Mrs. EthiJ I ' .iilli ' U ■  .

Communication Experts I think I ' ll be an orator, commented Vl ' it, wriggling in proper oratorical gestures after spending a period in one of the speech classes. Miss Irene Gray, director of speech activities, and Mrs. Ethel Bothcll teach first and second year students how to express themselves, think on their feet, prepare proper and interesting speeches to de- liver before the class. Teenagers listened to their voices on records and made tape recordings in order to improve their enunciation and tt)ne quality. Mrs. Bothell and Miss Gray both help to direct Drama Club, and in addition Miss Gray arranged the Western Slope Speech Clinic and directed both the junior and senior class plays, put in Nitsi. Acting in pantomime, Darlene and Dick portray a srrnc from Romro rinci Juliet for their speeeji elass. Students taking journalism claim that there is more work con- nected with it than may appear, ' it told Nitsi after witnessing a particularlv harassing day in room 108. In addition to writing stories for the Orange and Black and the Daily Sentinel, journal- ists also laid out ad hich the sold to business men, wrote liead- lines for their stories, gathered information tor the Tiger Annual, and did various other tasks necessary to make the publications department turn out good reading for students. Miss Lillian Lar- son, publications director, also supervises work on the Tiger An- nual, Orange and Black, Tiger 1 laiulbook, and (.Kies some pub- licitv for School District 5 1.

Latin Linguists Break the Pinata! urge enthusiastic Spanish studetits. Cosmopolitans While inquiring about Spanish and French, I found that under the expert instruction of Miss Esther Conway, who also sponsors French Club, students learn the history and traditions as well as the fundamentals of these languages, declared Nitsi. Miss Con- way ' s French class added variety to its program by entering a float in the homecoming parade. Also, Mrs. Ann Cornelison deftly guided her first and second year Spanish classes toward a better understanding of the lan- guage, while Miss Winifred Bull experimented in teaching her first year of Spanish I, in addition to her regular Latin classes, Wit quickly added. You know, Nitsi, Latin didn ' t come alive to me until I sat in on Miss Ann Cornelison ' s and Miss Winifred Bull ' s Latin classes, admitted Wit. While first year students were busy learning Latin grammar, second year classes translated stories, studied Rome and Gaul in the days of Caesar, and read of the gods and goddesses in Greek myths. In addition to teaching Latin, Miss Bull has a group in first year Spanish and sponsors Camera Club. One day I found myself in Mrs. Ann Cornelison ' s class, interrrupted Nitsi, where students were learning by using vocabulary cards and enjoying slides of ancient Rome. Mrs. Cor- nelison also takes time to co-sponsor Y-Teens and teach Spanish. Foreign language teachers. Miss Winifred Bull, Mrs. .-inn Cornelison. and Miss Esther Conway, chuckle over the antics of a Spanish funnypaper character. Page 21 Fellow Bookworms ' There ' s no place like home , quoted it, wiggling into a comfortable nook in the library. That ' s right, agreed Nitsi. Offering 3715 volumes, the library surely is a good place for students to do reference work, to study, or to catch up on the best books. Everything is kept running smoothly under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Hensler. Mrs. Mary Benson and Miss Ina Dyer are al- ways ready to assist and to give information to those who need it, offered Wit. But besides working in the library, they both have two study halls and Miss Dyer helps sponsor IRC Those interesting book reviews of some of the 247 new books given every Saturday over KEXO were sponsored by the school library, volunteered Nitsi. I was especially attracted to the book jackets displayed every week on the library bulletin board. ' Extra help is furnished in the library by girls who give up their study h.ill time to aid in keeping it functioning efficiently, Wit added. I.ilirdiians, Mrs. Mm ii Hi hmhi.

Fourth Year GJHSers ' hcn 215 seniors solemnly receive their diplomas on May 29, they will be closing their book of high school days, X ' it mused. Let ' s take a last look at their senior memories, Nitsi. They started their senior year with the Junior-Senior party. Silvery angels watched over the setting of ' My Blue Heaven. ' Other pre-graduation events included choosing class colors and flower, trading graduation pictures, presenting the play ' The Little Dog Laughed, ' being measured for caps and gowns, jour- neying to Glenwood for senior Sneak Day, and presenting the tr.i ditional Slouch Day assembly. Arthur Harms onil Miss Viryiniii I ' uljihu m. senior take tivie out from thiir rluties to hare a g iimi ' ir-sriiior jh Let me tell you about the senior class officers, Wit insisted. Tom Rear- don, class president, has been very ac- tive on Tiger squads this year, partici- pating in fcx)tball, wrestling, and track. Susie W hite, vice prexy, kept busy as an alternate banner girl and a member of Pep Club. Secretary of the class, Mary Ann Tipton, in addi- tion to being a banner girl, took part in the DE plan and worked each aft- ernoon at Sweetbriar ' s. Miss Virginia Fulghum and Arthur Harms, as spon- sors, saw the class of ' 52 through four active years.

There ' s David Martin, who besides his duties as prcxy was that mel- low second trumpeter in the band and played with the Melo- diers group, too. Aiding David was likable Chuck White, vice president. Taking down minutes of the class meeting was blond Sharon Lane. Besides being class secretary Sharon served as banner girl, glowed Nitsi. With 241 eager kids working together, the juniors started the year with ' When I Was Green, ' their class play, countered Wit. It was the story of the comical affairs that followed when the son of the family tried to ' paint the world with sun- shine. ' Taking leading parts were Kenneth White and Janice ■lark, Lane, anil llnrny hold a heated debate — Girls vs. Cars. Who icon, hoys ' Ostrander as the parents. Carol Campbell, Connie Clark, and Joann Brenton took the parts of the daughters, and Tom Schultz was the son who caused all the trouble. In the romantic setting of an ' Oriental Garden ' the juniors honored the class of ' 52 with the prom on Saturday, May 3. The Starlighters orchestra provided the music for the formal dance held in the Mesa College auditorium. A prom queen was chosen from the senior class and her two attendants were elected from the junior class. Nitsi paused reminiscently. Cooperating with the class sponsors. Miss Lois Baughman and Vernon Duck, were Adrienne Trine, general chairman, and Glenora Scott, chairman of the decorations committee.

Second Year GJHSers Having completed one year of high school and having become accustomed to life at GJHS, the 2 89 sophomores proceeded to make their second year one to remember. In the fail they gave a party to welcome the freshmen to the ranks of Grand Junction High School students. Did you see that huge puppet on the backdrop curtain and the clever little Punch-and-Judy-ish figures scat- tered around the sides of the gym, Nitsi? Yes, Wit, that really set the scene for the four girls dressed like puppets who announced the program. The sophomores must have lots of talent in their class to have presented as fine a program as they did that night. Their acts included a blues singer, a barber shop quartet, can-can girls, and a popular ballad singer. Nitsi re- called. For the homecoming parade the class of ' 5 3 built a huge helmet on their float. Wit gloated, I got to ride on that float with those cute sophomore girls who were dressed like tigers. Changing the subject, Nitsi informed Wit, John Gam- mill was sophomore class president. With the help of Sanna Raso, vice president, and Barbara Talarlco, secre- tary, John was responsible for all the committees neces- sary for making the party and the float successful. As class sponsors, Ed Keswick and Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch helped the three officers in making plans and insuring 1951-52 a truly fine sophomore year. John Gammill. f annn Ra.

Of course, the - really had something to cheer about, since theirs was the biggest class in high school boasting 375 eager ninth graders. They showed great efficiency and organization in their handling of the traditional White Christmas assembly. W ith the orchestra, chorus, and banner girls taking part in the enjoyable program, the student body and visiting alumni saw a fine sample of thoughtful planning on the part of the class of ' 55. . 11 the baskets of deh- cious-looking food collected by homerooms for less for- tunate families almost made me wish I were a human in- stead of a worm. Responsible for planning activities for their freshman year were the class officers, Nitsi joined in. Heading the class as president was Jimmy Bonella. who was as- sisted b ' Dick Thompson, vice president, and Esther Cunnington, secretar -. Dan Roberts was faculty adviser for the trio of officers. It was fun riding on the freshman Homecoming float which depicted the American flag. It made me proud to be an American worm, Tit thoughtfully admitted. Socially-minded Nitsi commented, After the wonder- ful party the sophomores gave for the freshmen in the fall, I was right on hand to worm mv wav in and join the fun when the seniors of ' 55 gave a spring parr .

I ' ve lie.ird that in addition to being SBA president, Jim played football, participated in wrestlin;;, and was elected president of the Colorado 4-1 1 Club. I also found out all about Janie McElfresh, vice prexy of the Studeni Body Association. Besides upholdinj; honor grades and being an active member of Pep CMiih and Tri-S, she was chosen Western Slope studeni council vice president. I ' ve watched I.ela Abernathy, SBA secretary, as she ' s carried out her duties this year, it contributed. For two years she ' s be.n a (ijUS cheerleader, M-id this ear she was the Tiger homecoming ijueen. Ciuided b advisers, Mrs. G. Maria Cameron and Clyde Granere, the thres officers lia e lulpej solve problems of the school and plan SBA activities. Early in the ear, jini and I.ela, accompanied by Mrs. Cam- eron, attended the state conference in Tort Collins. Later on, all three went to I- ' ruita for the student council meeting.

Student Council convenes every Tuesday home- room period in room 311. The council is made up of class, league, and SBA officers plus the president of each homeroom. Using democratic procedures and considering the welfare of all students, it paves the road for a cooperative smooth func- tioning student body, Wit declared. Through the year traditional activities such as the festive homecoming dance and parade were carried on. The Christmas season was marked by the white gift basket program and a gala Alumni Dance for GJHS graduates as well as present stu- dents, Nitsi recalled. Yes, Wit responded, and the Student Council also under- took the Junior Red Cross and March of Dimes drives, ar- ranged assemblies and dances, planned homeroom discussions, and backed the sale of SBA tickets. To promote a feeling of companionship between old and new alike, the governing body began the school year with Hello Week. At the first of each semester the council chose the SBA committees to serve GJHS. Rirhie Hoijl-ins gives with an idea jor a health campaign to Mrs. Jeanne Schellenherg, Guy Wallace, Kathleen Claxton, and Adrienne Trine, committee members.

Peering from a paint brush box, I heard Miss Ruth Higgins explaining how the bulletin board came about, Nitsi averred. The two main floor bulletin boards were set aside for reg- ular announcements and publicity purposes. To plan and pre- pare the displays, student council appointed a committee of six students with artistic ability at the beginning of each semes- ter. Miss fliggins stated that her job as adviser to the group is to help determine what phases of school life should be stressed at the l eginning of each month and to be sure that the material used is of interest and value to all students. She continued that the materials used on the board are created by the artists on the committee. With this I slithered back into the box to dream of the special Christmas, New Year, and art exhibit displays which were three of the best this year. 1 was taking a siesta on a locker on the first floor when I was awakened by Uave Butler, one of the students who clean up the lockers and halls each Monday and Wednesday, related Wit. A curious frosh stopped Dave and asked him what his duties were. Dave told him that he and the other committee members periodically remove all the books and lunches from the top of the lockers and pick up paper on the floor. When 1 observed how thorough the boys on the clean-up committee are, I scurrieil into a committee-proot hiding place to finish my nap. l:iilli till hiiiinl riiiii iiiitlms for both scmtwlris roiii iiirr iihns fur iriirlli-irliilr ilisiihnix.

SBA Planners Browsing in Mrs. Marin Cameron ' s office, I ran into a group of students discussing the popular subject of school dances, Wit informed Nitsi. After the close of first semester, the newly appointed dance committee were picking up pointers as explained by the first semester group. All through the year, the dance committees cooperated with TAC officials in plan- ning events. I also learned that Gay Wright replaced Zelda Campbell as chairman of the school calendar committee for second semester, taking over the responsibility of scheduling all assemblies and GJHS social events. SBA Gatekeepers Hi, Nitsi, do you know anything about the Tiger Courtesy Patrol program for 1951-1952? Sure, Band Tournament was the club ' s busiest time, and all during the year the members helped with traffic control and with keeping order at various programs. The boys volunteer for service in the organization, which has courtesy for its motto. Roland Kelley is the captain. Bob Sparks and Bill Pribble, lieutenants. Harmon Hallenbeck sponsors the patrol and awards the ' G ' letter for outstanding work in this field. Marilyn Adamn and lion Gould look, on as Zelda Campbell svliedules activities on the SBA calendar. Not pictured: Gay Wrifilit. icrond semester committee chairman. Tiger Courtesy Patrol officers.

Tiger Coeds Peeking from a lunch box at the traditional Big and Little Sister Party, I learned all about Girls League, Nitsi com- mented. Besides holding regular meetings once every four months, the League sponsors an assembly .uul the annual Mother-Daughter Tea. The officers, Linda Markrud, president; Priscilla Orange, vice president; Lani Morgan, secretary; and Beth Baughman, freshman representa tive, worked through the year with their sponsor, Mrs. Maria Cameron, to solve problems of GJHS coeds. Tiger Guys Every boy in high school is automatically a member of Boys League, NX ' it announced as he climbed a fountain for a drink. In the annual assembly, members of the League dis- played the varied talents of the CiJHS stronger sex. CJiosen as officers to work with sponsor, Cl)de Granere, were Jim Nylund, president; Ronald Routh, vice president; Wayne Cheedlc, secretary; and Stacy Carpenter, freshman representative. Officers and members of the League extended a friendU ' hand to new students through the hospitality com- mittee. Jim Nylund. Ronnie Routh.

Handbook Writers Wit, do you recall my narrow escape from disaster when those handbook editors Sharon Zinn, Sharon Hayer, and Jo May Hamlin almost crushed me in their haste to line up hand- book material? Oh, yes, but they can be excused as they were gathering facts for that valuable book full of information concerning the traditions of GJHS, scholastic requirements, clubs, organ- izations, staff members, and general school life. The book will aid both former students and newcomers next fall when it comes out. With Mervin at the piano, Marjorie, Marie, and Edy pause hetireen bites to sin( at a Quill and Scroll meeting. Young Journalists I ' ve certainly enjoyed sitting in on the Quill and Scroll meetings this year, Nitsi. The members always have such worthwhile programs, including book reviews, discussions on current happenings, musical entertainment, and candlelight initiation ceremonies. I won ' t forget their delicious refresh- ments either or the annual recognition assembly in May. Norma Bixler was president of the GJHS chapter of the na- tional honorary society for high school journalists. She was aided by Bill Mazza, vice president; Barbara Perry, secretary; and Miss Lillian Larson, sponsor. Norma Bixler.

Yearbook Workers Wit, said Nitsi in a tone that prepared her masculine coun- terpart for a thoughtful disclosure. While we were enjoying a leisurely summer vacation, the annual editor was busily pre- paring the first dumm) tor the yearbook. 1 didn ' t realize that publishing thj Tiger is a year-long job. Why, Nitsi, surely the fact that the photographers were busy from almost the first day of school didn ' t escape you. Kelvin and Allan were on call any time, anywhere to get pictures. I ' m sure you couldn ' t have missed the work of the section editors as the) ' scheduled and planned pictures. Of course, I saw all that plus the hours put in developing, printing, trimming, and mounting pictures. In addition to that there was the time spent in writing copy and captions. Besides this exacting work, you ' ll remember, Nitsi, the work of the advertising editors, circulation managers, and the art editors. All ear the staff worked together with Miss Lillian Larson, publications director, discussing cover designs and lliemes and ironing out thousands of publication details. Sharon Lane. Jane McElfresh.

One morning, purely by accident, I crawled into the senior assembly and found myself smack in the middle of mixed chorus class, warbled Nitsi to Wit. I was so enticed by the harmonious blend of voices that I wriggled to Mrs. Thelma Brenton ' s music stand and hid under a copy of ' Stout Hearted Men ' to hear more of the GJHS brand of vocal music. I heard someone mention a separate girls ' and boys ' chorus. So, being a musically minded bookworm, I visited these three classes from time to time throughout the year and each time learned something new about the world of music from themes written by students on a variety of musical topics. I heartily enjoyed the fine records played atid films shown in class. ' ' Eagerly interrupted Wit, I understand that each student was required to sing before his class twice yearly, either solo or in a group. Mrs. Brenton, director of the chorus classes, planned this to help the vocalists gain composure when performing in concerts or on programs. Continuing Wit boasted, I appointed myself mascot of the GJHS choruses and perched myself on the piano when they sang in the Greater Music Season Concerts, at Band Tourna- ment, and during their other appearances. When mixed chorus made their national debut over the Mutual Broadcasting sys- tem, you can bet I was right there feeling mighty proud of those kids. I also hummed along with them when they sang Romberg ' s familiar melodies in their spring concert.

Group Vocalists Did I ever tell you about the time I wiggled into a desk in 111 after school for a nice peaceful snooze and was roused by the singing of a girls ' double trio? Nitsi asked. I soon learned that ensembles practice there quite often so I made it a habit to be there to listen to the fine young voices. During the following days, I witnessed rehearsals of a mixed ensemble, a girls ' double sextet, an all male group, and another girls ' en- semble. How those ensemblists practiced! They lent serious concentration as jMrs. Thelma Brenton coached them in har- mony, timing, diction, expression, and all the other important detads of singing. I was so pleased with the fine singing of the teenagers cropped from the chorus classes that I checked and found that during the year these people went caroling during the Christmas sea- son and entertained at numerous service club meetings throughout the valley, she continued. As Nitsi paused for breath. Wit began, Besides those activ- ities, the five singing groups competed in the ensemble festival. The solo-ensemble contest held in Grand Junction was a spark- ling highlight on the GJHS music calendar. Many vocal stu- dents entered both solo and ensemble numbers and brought home high honors. An ensemble concert was held in the senior assembly preceding the contest. Following the competition, a clinic was held at which participating students were shown any weak spots and were given help in developing their musical talents further.

Instrvimental Artists Just sit back and relax, little Nitsi, while I tell you about the high school music department. During the year the famous cornet soloist, Leonard B. Smith, visited Grand Junction and played in a concert with the GJHS band. Arthur C. Cooper, percussionist with the Detroit Symphony, also visited and gave the drummers helpful tips. Concerts came frequently after that with the opening of the Greater Music Season series. About Christmas time, the symphony orchestra and the chorus entertained at the fourth annual meeting of the combined service clubs of Grand Junction. This program was broad- cast nationwide over the Mutual Broadcasting System. I- ' eb- ruary I and 2 more tli.in a luindicd GJHS-ers took part m the solo-ensemble contest and music clinic. Many band and orchestra mi ' nibers participated in the Blackouts March 6, a talent show sponsored by the Band and Orchestra Parents. With the GJHS music department playing lio ' jt. Band Tournament involved nearly a thousand Western slope musicians. Still later 1 caught a ride to the Band and Orchestra party and almost landed in one of ' Jake ' s ' luscious milkshakes.

GJHS High Steppers As I was wriggling my way through the green turf of the football field, I was nearly stepped on by the Banner Girls and Twirlers. I watched hem practicing early and late on their own time preparing themselves for performing at half- time entertainment at football games, marching in parades, and singing for the annual White Christmas assembly. This year the Banner Girls cooperated with the local polio founda- tion in collecting money for the March of Dimes. Later the alternates worked with them in arranging a dance for the Blackouts, proudly proclaimed Nitsi. The twirlers weren ' t to be outdone, vociferated Wit. They, too, worked hard preparatory to the Blackouts introducing fire or torch twirling to GJHS audiences. And don ' t forget that both groups performed at the Band Tournament, continued Nitsi. It really is an honor to be a banner girl because only ten girls out of the junior and senior classes combined are chosen. Of course, to be a twirler one has to be extra good, concluded Wit.

Tiger Rooters Last fall at one of the football games my attention was drawn to those snappy uniforms that are so familiar around GJHS, Nitsi commented as she rubbed her spectacles clean. I mean the black slacks, white blouses, and orange sweaters that the school ' s 80 Pep Club girls top with neat white gloves and tiny orange beanies. I soon learned that members are chosen, 20 from a class, from a large number of applicants. TTic girls cooperated with band during football season in presenting fine halftime performances, Wit added. When the band journeyed to Greeley, Pep Club went along, lending their energy to cheering the State AA runner-up team. The club raised money for the trip by selling pennants and catchy football and basketball pins. Wit chuckled glecfull) ' as he continued, The activity I liked most was Pep Club ' s Sadie Hawkin ' s Day when coeds had the privilege of holding doors, carrying books, and performing other small courtesies. Planning this activity and the dance that ended the day ' s fun were Gwen Pepper, president; Sylvia Smith, vice president; Barbara Perry, secretary; and the sponsors, Mrs. Lillian Peth and Mrs. Aluine Whalley. Sparking the club with life and vigor were the six cheerleaders, Lcla Abernathy, Doris Snyder, Grace Pat- ten, Jonc Gage, Ikcy Bennett, and Mary Neesham. The pert sextet imparted spirit to the whole student body as t ' :cy gave out with cheers for Tiger teams, Nitsi con- cluded. Mrs. Lillian I ' lth. sponsor, gives some peppy a6rice to Barbara Perry.

No, Nitsi admitted, But I bet I know more about French Club than you do. For instance, I know that Leta Logan is president; Susie White, vice president; Betty Looney, secre- tary; and Tommy Schuhz, treasurer. During the year, I sat in on a highly interesting, illustrated talk given by Barbara Jeanne Denning, a former French student of this school. I also heard about the members ' correspondence with French boys and girls and the other club activities Miss Esther Conway planned. Searchers of Truth Because of popular demand, Bible Club became one of the authorized organizations of GJHS last fall. Being a new club has not hindered its progress. Taking an active part in school activities, Bible Club presented the Easter assembly where their special choir sang. Nitsi told Wit. Also every Tuesday the members held a meeting in 105 or 111. They often had guest speakers, including missionaries who had been to China, who helped them learn more about the Bible, its purpose, meaning, and doctrine. Diiane Ktorey.

Miss Gladys Glendenning and Mrs. Virginia Jacobs are the sponsors, offered Nitsi. Umm-m-m! What delicious aromas wafted their way through the hall from 101 at different times during the year, hungrily recalled Wit. The girls let me sample the icing for cakes made for the annual cake walk. I learned that they often made popcorn balls or cookies for patients in hospitals. Radio skits and guest speakers enlivened many of their meetings. The year ' s schedule also showed a generous sprinkling of parties and social events. I know, too, that FHA promotes appreciation of home and family, wholesome recreation, interest in home economics, and good citizenship. Yet, Wit, the girls learned that to have a truly demo- cratic nation, it is essential to have good citizens in homes that are democratic. Through their many projects as they worked to earn their degrees, they learned to cooperate with each other, too. Florence. Mary.

Neophyte Dramatists Only the best were selected to fill the twenty membership capacity of each of the two troups, so Drama Club had the cream of the crop. We may not have had box seats for the one- act play, ' Roughly Speaking, ' but our termite holes offered us enough view to see how good it was. As a critic I ' d also give the Thespian production of ' This Strange Night, ' given as a Christmas gift to .ill club nicinbcrs of (ir.iiid [unction, a favorable rating. Students agreed with mc when 1 said that the series of si. hiiiiii ' i Huh (ifficirs from Trouitfs I ihi II hold a joint executive iiicrtiiui. one-act plays, given during the second semester to earn money for buying make-up supplies and to replenish the treasury of the club, was highly entertaining. The best one of these pro- ductions was presented at the Western Slope Drama Festival held in March at the Mesa College auditorium. No termite holes there, but Miss Irene Gray, a Drama Club sponsor mind- ful of our dramatic aspirations, was considerate about leaving her coat pocket of)en for passengers. Grand Junction presen- tations always rate among the best at this festival, enthu- siastically praised Wit. Now that we two have seen all the fun Drama Club mem- bers have, and all the interesting and profitable things they do, I wonder it the members will ever present a play that will require a couple ot low characters like us in the cast, Nitsi pondered.

Drama Troupers I munched my way into a comfortable book for a nap the other day, but instead I became interested in the Drama Club notes, Nitsi confided to Wit. I learned that there are three different groups in the club. The TTiespians is a national honor society open to excelling student dramatists. There are the two troups whose members are chosen by the sponsors at tryouts at the first of the year. These neophytes learn to apply make-up, work on committees, and gain knowledge of acting techniques to win enough points to be eligible for Thespians. Masters of Debate Taking a leisurely wriggle down the hall, Nitsi and Wit came across a session of Debate Club. Listening closely, they soon found that the quc;tion this year was Resolved: That all cit- izens should be subject to conscription in time of war. Hav- ing met the officers, who are Ellen Fleming, president; Caro- lyn Renick, vice president; and Muriel Von Kcehe, secre- tary, they were informed that the sponsors are John Daniher and John Sutrina. During the year the club sponsored sev- eral movies for the high school in order to raise money for their annual trip to Boulder for the state debate meet. .John Daniher and -John Sutrina.

How proudly the Tiger athletes wear the ' G ' school sweater symlxjiizing achievement in sports, Nitsi beamed. I squirmed through their wrestling assembly and swayed to the music at their annual spring dance, Wit added. I also looked on as the coaches awarded letters to the athletes in assembly, giving the boys recognition for all the hours on the gridiron, sprints around the track, stairway laps, and hours of concentrated practice.

I also enjoyed watching iheir bowl ing and their basketball contest with the Mesa College girls. Then came the journey to Rifle to a basketball playda -. In the spring GAA girls began minor sports which included badminton, deck tennis, and ping pong. With the (iraml Junction club playing host, a baseball pla)day was held later in the spring. The final highlight of the year was the ban- quet where awards were made to outstanding GAA members. Page 76 GJHS Ski Lovers What a weekend I spent once last winter! exclaimed Wit. 1 made the mistake of faHing asleep in Penny Burris ' car Saturday night. When I awoke Sunday morning, I found I was on my way to the Grand Mesa ski course. From what I overheard, skiing must be a thrilling and dangerous sport when even experts sometimes hobble around for days after a weekend on the hickories. During the snow season. Ski Club members traveled to Aspen, Alta, Cooper Hill, Rifle, Grand Mesa, and other fine courses. Many ski fans took advantage of the lessons Don Larsh, sponsor, gave at the Grand Mesa course. Officers, Lawrence Reardon. Juiiahrlh ' Luke, anrl Mcrvi)i Greenlee plan the Rifle club ' s nci ' t match. Recording target practice scores of club meynbers is Allan Gordon.

Skiers pause at the base of the tow awaiting the signal for the start of the Mesa ski races. Tiger Marksmen I managed to hitch a ride with a Tiger marksman the other day and visit the National Guard Armory where the Rifle Club meets every Wednesday after school, related Wit. The members of the club must practice the safe handling of firearms all year because the place is just as safe as our own home. If one of the shooters so much as leaves the bolt closed on his rifle, he is reminded of it by either his neighbor shooter or Clyde Granat, club instructor. Arranging details of the several matches with other schools fell to Mervin Greenlee, Lawrence Reardon, Allan Gordon, and Junabelle Luke, officers of the shooting club, volun- teered Wit.

Serving Coeds When Nitsi found Wit wondering about Tri-S, she coyly intimated that he had a special interest in the girls ' clubs in the school. But since she, too, had an inquiring na- ture, the two wormed their way to the people who could give them some facts about the club. The curious worms finally found Miss Reba Wing and Miss Irances Weber, able Tri-S sponsors, who told them that the club is exclusively for junior and senior girls that have at least a B average. Miss Weber explained that the triple S in the name of the club s niboli es Service, Scliola:ship, and Sociability. Miss Wing added that two formal initiations were held, one early in the fall and the second after the close of first semester. She laughingly continued that following the candlelight ceremony, an informal initiation took place. Interested in the club ' s social activities, Nitsi was pleased to learn that Tri-S sponsored a dance in the spring, an assembly, and several faculty teas during the ear. Phyllis Myers, president, also told the worms that the motto of the club is I ' d Be Glad To. Ellen I-leming, vice president, and Zelda Campbell, secret ary, explained that the purpose of the club is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school high standards of schol- arship, leadership, character, and to render service when- ever possible.

Promoters of Tolerance Y-Teens certainly is a worthwhile club, Wit asserted. It ' s a branch of the YWCA, and any Grand Junction High School miss is eligible to join. ' To face life squarely — to find and give the best! ' is the motto which the GJHS coeds belonging to Y-Teens have endeavored to follow during the year, whether working or playing. I ' ve heard of Y-Teens, Nitsi returned. Under the leadership of sponsors, Mrs. Ann Cornelison and Miss Gunhild Gustafson, Barbara Arnwine, president; Ellen Hansen, vice president; and Shirley Sutter, secretary took over official duties. Through the year the organi- zation sought to teach girls of all races and creeds to be friends without prejudices. Y-Teens, along with Tri-S undertook the project of selling car plates to loyal supporters of Tiger teams. The two clubs also jointly sponsored the annual Thanks- giving faculty tea and cooperated in decorating a home- coming float, Wit interrupted. Ignoring the interruption, Nitsi continued, So that members might receive credit for being in attendance, assisting on committees, and participating in entertain- ment programs, a point system was originated, with a pin to be given when a girl ac(iuires 3 00 points. In Februars ' , GJHS giils atiendcd a slope conference at Hotchkiss where lhc ' discussed ways to improve Y- Teen functions, she concluded.

DE Training Club As I wormed my way down the hall one day, I overheard that Distributive Education club has completed its third year under the sponsorship of Arthur Harms. I looked further into this matter and found that Rod Gill was president, and Dixie Lee Clark, secretary-treasurer. I asked Rod why DE club was organized. He replied that meeting every month gives seniors securing on-the-job training a chance to participate in a co- curricular activity, confided Wit to his fair companion. Under cover, I even attended the annual banquet given by the group for their employers. Of course, 1 couldn ' t miss the roller skating party given in honor of the Fruita club. I even hooked a ride to Denver in Mr. Harms ' trouser cuff with the delegates Alvin Duffy, Steve Rendon, and Pat Sharp for the state convention March 10 and 11. 7 Wanna Be Loved By Yov, sinr s Mary Ann liopefuUy to un- concerned Tom in Die 1 E asseinliUj.

Together we attended the coronation assembU which was jointly sponsored by Camera Club and the Publications De- partment, Nitsi remembered.

Scoring 237 points while their opponents tallied 13 1 points, the Tigers wound up the 1951 grid season with a six-won four-lost rec- ord. Employing the deceptive T formation the Bengals ran up their yardage with a balanced ground-air attack. The spirit of the team was up for some games and down for others. Starting the season Sept. 14 with their rivals from Utah, the Carbon Dinosaurs, the Tigers fell to their first defeat 1 8 to 7 after leading Price most of the game. Rebounding from the Price game the Bengals traveled to Craig Sept. 21 and broke into the win column with a sound thumping of the Bulldogs, 47 to 6. The next week, Sept. 2 8, found the Tigers in Colorado Springs where they were blanked 7 to 0. The Terrors scored in the initial period but found It impossible the rest of the game. The team faced the touted Laramie Plainsmen from Wyoming Oct. 12. The Plainsmen scored first in the initial quarter, but the Tigers quickl) ' came back to a 34-7 victory. For an Oct. 19 fray the Tigers traveled to Durango and again found it hard to get their offense started in the first half. They got underway, however, during the second quarter and spurted to a 32 to 14 victory. Coming back home the Bengals faced the powerful Pueblo Central Wildcats Oct. 27. The Wildcats clawed the Tigers with a blistering 34 to 14 defeat. The team journeyed to Rifle Nov. 2, where they could beat the Bears only 7 to 0. On Homecoming, Nov. 9, the eleven displayed a polished offense and defense that rambled over the Delta Panthers 68 to 7. At the State AA semifinals Nov. 22, the Tigers turned back the Pueblo Central Wildcats 2 1 to 7 in a return engagement for the right to enter the finals against the Greeley Wildcats. Running into a determined bunch of Wildcats In Greeley, the Tigers suffered their fourth loss of the season in the state finals, 34 to 7.

Tiger Mentors In their third successful year together, Ed Whalley and Carl Cox tutored the Bengal gridiron crew to second place in the State AA playoffs of 1951. This also marks the twentieth year of coaching at GJHS for Coach Whalley, during which time he has helped guide the Tigers to two state championships, 1936 and 1940, and two state runnerup positions, 194S and 1951. Coach Whalley has be:n the head line coach for the past few seasons, molding some of the best linesmen in the state, gloated Wit. Backfield coach, Carl Cox, who played under Coach Whalley during his high school days, started his career when he came here in 1949. Coach Cox used his know-how to make the split formation function smoothly, continued Wit. Chimed in Nitsi, Ending his fourth year as manager of the football squad, Dick Sager has left an outstanding record of faithfulness and efficiency for future managers to equ.il. Dick ' s reliability relieved the coaches of many worries and responsibilities.

Coaches Ed W ' halley and Carl Cox usually papered out these men as the ones for the starting lineup, it patiently explained to Nitsi. On the rugged forward wall at end where Paul ' Smiley Maaske and Jim Voss until Maaske suffered a shoulder injury and Melvin Snook replaced him. At tackles were two big brutes, Allen Jensen and Sheldon Murphy; at guards, Harry Dunning and big Larry Campbell, who was named to the first team of the Rocky Mountain News All-State selection. Joe Beckley was at the center p osition. In the T backfield were Jim Nylund, Jared Morris, Tom Rcardon, and Bill Mazza with Shorty Trip- ler and Chuck Stoddart as capable replacements. Also playing first string because ot their defensive ability were Dick Grif- fith.fHu gh CookJ and John Bonella. Several of the Bengals starred at their specialties throughout the season. Wit. It was amazing how little Harry Dunning shoved his opponents, who outweighed him considerably, around with apparent ease. Harry was one of the stalwarts on defense. I also noticed the masterful job of kicking off that Paul Maaske did. Sheldon Murpln, Allen Jensen, Joe Beckley, and 1 arrv Campbell were ' stonewalls ' on the detensive crew. One ot Jim X kind ' s best pass receivers was right end, Jim Voss. John Bonella was the ' toe ' of the team as he made good a number ot point conversions. Sparkling all season as three rugged linebackers were Tom Reardon, Dick Ciritfith, and Shorty Triplet. The ' yards gained ' department was helped enormously by the pinpoint passing of Jim Nvlund. Giving the crowds plenty of excitement with polished broken field ruiinini; were Bill Ma .i and C luick Stoddart, boasteil Wit.

The Junior Var- sity this year was composed mostly of juniors and seniors who were varsity reserves. These boys were matched against strong class A teams. They fell in defeat to a mighty Cilenwood Springs outfit, 20 to 0, and to a rugged Meeker eleven, 37 to 13. Their three victories came against an aggressive Central team, 7 to 0, the Olathe Pirates, 19 to 6, and the Fruita Wild- cats, 37 to 13. The starting lineup usually consisted of Gareld Brown and Gene Israel or Oliver Patterick at ends, Bruce Bowman and Ronald Routh or Bill Trine at tackles, and Art Cook at center. In the backfield, Jerry Arant was at quarterback, Dave Butler and Frank DeLio at the halfs, and either Dale Foster or Bob Whiteside le fullback sl ot, chimed Nitsi. It was a pleasiMc to w.itch sonic of these boys in action, Nitsi. In the backfield there were plent ' of stars. Arant hit Israel consistently for touchdowiis. Jerry was quite a general. Where a few yards were badly needed the b.ill was gi en to Bob Whiteside or Dale Foster who would usually pick them up. Adding their part to the yards gained were the two speedy halfbacks Del.io and Butler. And on the line tliere were standouts, too, it. Art C ' ook, Bill Peterson, and lUuid Roberts ueie might) ' keen on defense. Although being sophomores Ronald Routh, Micky ffart, and Walter Ciortlon proved themselves able linemen for both the B squad and JayVees. Kicking ott clioies were handled by Gareld Brown, while Jerr Arant did the punting and extra points, concluded Nitsi. Page 50 First Roio— James Morford. Mickey Hart, Wayne Cheedle, Bob Dickey.

Non-Varsity Eleven The freshman and sophomore eleven under Co.ich Bob Johnson from Colorado A M showed what kind of varsity team we are going to have in the next few years, prophesied Wit as he and Nitsi curled up on a turkish towel in the locker room. Dick Thompson skirts left end for a handsome gain. The B squad ended their season with a clean slate, four victories and no defeats. The baby Tigers hustled to win over the B squads of Hotchkiss, 26 to 13; Cedar- edge, 2 8 to 0; and Delta, 7 to 0. Here Wit paused for breath and then rattled on, The main factor of their non-losing manner was their aggres- siveness. Outstanding players during the season were Seth Hunt, Walter Gordon, Porky Manown, Dick Thompson, Jim Bonella, Jim Robuck, Mickey Hart, Larry Klumb, Bob Coulson, and Ronald Routh. At the end of the season the boys showing the most promise were moved up to the A squad.

AA Basketball Wit, turning to basketball, how did our boys do this season? asked Nitsi, climbing into the athletic medical supply kit. The Tigers tallied 944 points to their opponents ' 904 in winning 1 1 out of their 20 game schedule. Opening the season Dec. 14, the Bengals traveled to the southern part of the state, beating Cortez and losing to Durango. The Tigers then took a drub- bing from Craig before entering the Delta Invitational Tourna- ment where they won from Price and Delta and lost to Boulder. Tiger Jim Nylund was chosen forward for the .lU-tourn.iment team, Wit explained. From there on the road was rougher, continued Wit. Rack- ing up their fourth win, the Tigers tipped the Alumni team. Then the Bengals won two from Montrose and Fruita, but lost by a close one point to Paonia. In their next 10 games the hoop- sters won two from Delta, lost three close games to Montrose, Craig, and Price. They also suffered their worst defeat in a. third game with Price, 59-31. The Tigers soundly drubbed Gunnison twice and squeaked by Paonia by one counter for three more wins. Ending the season, the team traveled to Denver for a State AA tournament game with Longmont of the Northern League. Longmont administer- ed the Tigers ' nlntli loss with a sound 5 9-42 defeat, Wit con- cluded. Tigers Jim Xiiluiid. Eddie Leech, and iheldon Murplni tussle over the tinll with a I ' aonia player. Page 92 Eddie Leech Center John BoncUa Guard Bernard Tripler Guard Jim Nylund Forward Starting Quintet Bill McUrair and Hob Johnson, basketball coaches, plan tiew defenses for Tiger cagers. Wit, who were on the first five this year? queried Nitsi. The starting five usually alternated around seven boys, Nitsi. Jim Nylund and Jared Morris were at the forward positions. Playing the center spot was Ed Leech. Out in front in the guard positions were Shorty Tripler and John Bonella. After becoming ill early in the season, Tripler was replaced by Chuck Cottier, Wit answered. In the latter part of the year, Sheldon Murphy made his appear- ances into the starting unit taking turns with John Bonella, Wit continued. The squad was comparatively a short team considering those encountered, but the Tigers made up their lack of height with their hustle.

The squad Included six seniors, four juniors, and two sopho- mores who elected Jim Nylund and Shorty Tripler captains at the end ot the season. N lund was a terror on defense and a good shot. Tripler specialized at uncann ' shots from any angle. Throwing them in from one front line, John Bonella was a deadeye on set shots. Ed Leech proved to be a clever post and rebound man. Helping Leech with the rebounds was Sheldon Murphy, a hard worker who started hitting at the close of the season. Jared Morris employed a jump shot for his manner of scoring. Getting the ball where it should be when it should be Charles Cottier was one of the best passers on the team. Gareld Brown, tallest crew member, played some good games for the Bengals, ex- plained Wit. Who will be back next year. Wit? asked Nitsi. The team will probably be molded around Jerry Arant, Jared Morris, Gareld Brown, Charles Cottier, Jim Decker, and Ronald Routh. Several of this year ' s Junior Varsity will also be bolstering the varsity, concluded Wit. Sitli limit hniils ilO!rii a rvhouixl out of a mass of tangled arms ir a I s(iua(! (;amr. Page 94 Members of one non-varsity squad are: Jim Quictt, Chuck White, Frank DeLio, and Bert Israel. Non-Varsity Men How did the Junior Varsity and B squads fare with the round ball game this season, Wit? queried Nitsi? Both teams ended the year with exceptionally good records. The B team won 11 out of 12 games, while the JayVees came out with eight victories out of nine encounters. The fresh- men lost to Delta but came right back and beat them later in the season. The Junior Varsity fell in defeat to a stubborn Cedaredge A squad, answered Wit. Coach Johnson ' s B team was made up of Seth Hunt, Jon Hertzke, Jim Bonella, Ken Crosby, Lloyd Manown, Craig Ken- na, Odean Holloway, and Pete Clathis. The Junior Varsity was composed of Jim Decker, Bert Israel, Ronald Routh, Jim Quiett, Gareld Brown, Jerry Arant, Chuck White, and Frank DeLio. Decker, Routh, Brown, and Arant also put in quite a bit of time with the Varsity squad, Wit informed his interest- ed listener. Besides their games with surrounding schools, both teams had contests with Church League squads. The Junior Varsity encountered the Baptist and Messiah Lutheran teams and beat them 55-22 and 56-45, respectively. The frosh played the Presbyte rian team, beating them, 62-34, and the Methodist crew, winning from them 62-40, Wit further remarked. Composing another team are FIRST ROW — Ken Crosl)! .

Tell me what you found out about the Church League program, begged Wit. John Thome directed the league, sponsored by the City Recreation Commission, providing activity for 108 boys, ith nine teams participating, each squad played 16 league games. Bill McGraw, Carl Cox, Bob Johnson, and Dan Roberts of the high school athletic department served as officials, answered Nitsi. Who came out as top team? asked Wit. Messiah Lutheran came out of the season with a record of 16 wins and no losses. This team consisted of such stars as Bill Mazza, Melvin Snook, Bill Trine, Dick Sager, Tom Reardon, Paul Maaske, Byron Moore, and Gary Schultz. The First Baptist aggregation was second place with 12 victories and four losses, replied Nitsi. A lot of com motion over .tuch a little thing. Page 96 Cu-captains of the wrestling squad are Lynn Griffith and Bill McPeek. Bengal Matmen At the end of their second perfect season in dual matches the Bengal matmen rolled up a very impressive winning col- umn, exclaimed Wit to Nitsi. They defeated top teams in the state such as Greeley 30 to 13, Montrose 31 to 15 and 37 to 9, East Denver 40 to 5, and South Denver 47 to 5. Other teams to go down befoie the Tigers were Delta 42 to 5 and 45 to 3, Craig 44 to 5 and 47 to 5, Hotchkiss 43 to 5 and 37 to 9. The matmen also won the Western Slope tournament by scoring a record break- ing 82 points. Montrose was second with 55 points, and Delta third with 17 points. ■ ' What ' U I do noic: ' Patterick iconders from hottomside. The B squad claimed double victories over Fruita, Palisade, and Montrose. They also won a four school tournament in which Fruita, Central, Palisade, and Grand Junction partici- pated. Wit continued enthusiastically, Although losing nine of the twelve first stringers, it appears that the B squad with their impressive record has members to replace those who will not be back! Team members graduating are Bill McPeek, Lynn and Dick Griffith, Eddie Livran, Bill Martinez, Steve Rendon, Joe Beckley, Allen Jensen, Tom Reardon, Harry Dunning, Chuck Stoddart, Bill Trine, Don Gore, Boyd Nichols, and William Cline.

Talk ran on about how great the Griffiths, state champs, were and of the leading team scores which were Ft. Collins 35, Grand Junction 28, Greeley 23, Montrose 19, and Rocky Ford 18. Drawing in with six of twelve individual state champions the Tiger matmcn had tough going all through the tourney.

The Tigers failed to place any men in the conso- lation finals, which was a bad break for the grunt and groan- ers, recalled Wit. Wide-eyed, Nitsi listened as Wit continued, The perpetual motion Griffith brothers, Lynn and Dick moved like clock- work as they easily won over their opponents. The two com- piled a record in itself as they scored 16 of the total 28 points which the Tigers gathered to win second place. Others to gain points for the Bengals were Bill McPeek and Eddie Livran, both of whom scored five points in winning second place and getting one pin each, and Joe Gallegos two points by pins.

Tiger Thinclads Wit, how about giving me the low-down on this year ' s track team? Nitsi suggested. Okay. The coaches, Ed Keswick and Bob Johnson eyed a large turnout of track aspirants this year, including 14 re- turning lettermen. Finishing their last year were Larry Campbell and Penny Burris, both sprinters, Bill Cline, distance man, Sheldon Murphy, discus thrower, and Shorty Tripler, pole vaulter. The other lettermen were Gareld Brown, Bob Whiteside, Dale Foster, Hugh Cook, Dick Duran, Ralph Unrein, Bob Dickey, Ronald Routh, and Bob Games. Some of the other lettermen, out for baseball, could not par- ticipate this season because of the new rule limiting them to one spring sport, answered Wit. Now tell me about some of the contests the Bengals took part in. Wit, Nitsi urged. The cindermen were contestants in three slope track meets, the Mesa College Invitational at Grand Junction, the Delta Invitational, and the Western Slope Meet at Grand Junction. The mile relay team, composed of Penny Burris, Gareld Brown, Larry Campbell, and Bob Jennings, journeyed to Boulder for the CU relays in April. At the close of the sea- son the boys who qualified in the Western Slope Meet travel- ed to Boulder to take part in the State Track Meet, Wit responded. Page 99 Cieorye Cray, bat boy.

Included in their twelve-game schedule were two games with Pueblo Central, always one of the top teams in their bracket, and two tough contests with the Price Dinosaurs.

These boys were Bill Trine, Bill Mazza, Jim Nylund, John Bonella, Eddie Leech, Bill McPcck, Paul Maaske, Ken Coul- son, Jim Voss, Jerry Arant, Jared Morris, and Chuck Cottier.
