Students from many different countries, of several religions, and of countless backgrounds all cooperate to make GJHS one of the best schools in the nation. Living examples of the diversity within our school are Sylvia Travnicek, Austrian exchange student; Guna Kordons, Latvian prison camp refugee and head girl; and Ron McNulty, head boy, as they shake hands symbolizing the friendshipand universality captured within the pages of the 1961 Tiger Annual. Dedication “But, someday our two different worlds will be one.” Soon our generation must cross into the perplexities of the adult world. As we have grown and increased in knowledge and understanding so have the national and world concerns grown and expanded-atomic power, the space race, the Soviet challenge. The burden of responsibility for solutions will fall heavily on our shoulders. Can we carry this burden? Fifteen years ago, in the wake of a great war, free men everywhere met for the purpose of incepting a solemn covenant dedicated to a world freed from want, untainted by fear. And from their efforts sprang the United Nations--an instrument, -still young and vigorous, which our generation can wield to raise its burden. It is to the United Nations and the unknown Tigers who will work in the hope that someday our two different worlds will be one that the 1961 Tiger Annual is dedicated. Old Under girds the New A village steeple, a cobblestone street, a roccoco flourish on the ironmonger'sgate: a little of the Old World charm mellows an age confronted with atomic bombs, Polaris submarines, New Frontiers, the gold drain, Barry Goldwater, andWoolworth stores. I n a time so preoccupied with materialism, a small Barvarian village seems a paradox; yet, from the quiet charm of just such a hamlet comes an important facet of our education. The foundations of Western learning come from the Old World. The faculty at Grand Junction have endeavored to combine these backgrounds with the new frontiers we are seeking today in an effort to enhance the knowledge and understanding of our generation. .............................. • • • .W, Provides Leadership Insight and understanding are key qualities of I. K. Boltz, superintendent of the Mesa County Valley Schools. Through his experience as a member of the National Aviation Education Council and his Flying Classroom trip to Europe, Mr. Boltz is particularly alert to the importance of international awareness for today's student. To provide the quality education which makes it possible for every GJHSer--and for each of the nearly 11,000 children and youth in District 51 --to develop his abilities to the highest degree possible is the deep concern of Mr. Boltz. With quiet dignity, he provides educational leadership for both school and community. I. K. BOLTZ, Superintendent of Schools Carry Out Projects Policymaking group for the Mesa County Valley Schools, the Board of Education represents the Edward voss public in providing a high caliber educational R' A' EDL1NC program.

JAMES BA, MA Principal Greetings, GJHSers The importance of youth is coming more to the front with each passing day. This fact is borne out by the ever increasing number of youth who are engaged in the exciting work of the Space Age. As a result of their work our world is becoming smaller. This means we are compelled to have a complete understanding of the peoples of the world. They are really our neighbors regardless of where they live. The choice of the theme of the Tiger Annual, International Understanding, is indeed very timely. The whole survival of our world is dependent on just how well each of us has this International Understanding. The students of Grand Junction High School are very fortunate in having so many opportunities to increase their understanding of the world and the problems of its many peoples through study. The Tiger Annual Staff and their sponsors are to be congratulated for this very fine book and their choice of the theme around which it is planned.

The Past Is Prologue Me ant as a memorial to the ruler of an ancient people, the Great Pyramid is remi-nescentofthe glory of ages past...a monument to the birthplace of learning, Egypt. Slowly and methodically these tons of stone were amassed to remain as giant corner- 4 stones of the cumulative learning of the f ancients. The separation between that world and our space age appears immense. Yet, in a sense, every graduate is comparable'to the pyramids, for into his education is poured the vast accumulation of knowledge, understanding, and skills developed since the beginning of man. But here the analogy ends. We stand no immobile in the sands of time, for we can create,build, and embellish the achievements of mankind, not for one age, but for all time.

Students Seek Fulfillment Its sweeping gables, its pagan spires, its somber curves, and its lonely pinnacles carry the Stave Church into a world gone by—a Norway of enchanted forests and impassive mountains, of the Viking ship and the Mead Hall, of Beowulf and Hrothgar. Today the Stave Church seems an anachronism; yet, its uniqueness draws a parallel. It's architects poured into it their greatest talents and fondest ambitions to make the Stave Church an edifice like none other in the world. ►Similarly, our teachers have employed their understanding and knowledge to develop in each of us that element of individuality which is our.key to attainment in this world of conformity.

Through orientation in the spring and special counseling in the fall, the underclassmen soon fell naturally into the pattern of life at GJHS. Steve Jackson took leadership as class president with Mary Lacko as secretary. Mrs. Virginia Runge and Elmer Brinker sponsored the group. To help in selecting courses and careers, sophomores took the California Mental Maturity and the Differential Aptitude Tests. Grooming for future varsity membership, many boys participated in Jay-Vee activities. Traditionally, selected girls served as pages for the Dinner-Dance and Prom. Student government, drama, music, and clubs also claimed the attention of many sophs. Mrs. Virginia Runge and Elmer Brinker served as sponsors for the Class of '63. As sophomore pages, Helen Knott and Linda Freeman assisted at the Dinner-Dance along with Steve Jackson as St. Peter. Clubs Symbolize Cooperation R o, pearl of the South Atlantic, fends the azure sea with gleaming beaches and a bustling harbor. A city humming with excitement, Rio is filled with the same anticipation of change that-runs the length and breadth of the country. . Vorare Rio and Brazil unique. Throughout Latin America, from the jungles of the upper Amazon to the arid wastes of Chilean deserts, nations are uniting in peaceful revolution. Together they have formed an hemispheric alliance, the Organization of American States, dedicated to discarding the old for the new through economy, education, and cultu re. Organizations at Grand Junction High School are similar to the OAS in many ways. They bring students into a coalition that extends beyond the normal curriculum, a coalition symbolizing an effort to promote brotherhood through greater knowledge, cooperation, and understanding. r Lead School Will the meeting please come to order? This request from Guna Kor-dons, head girl, and Ron McNulty, head boy, marked the opening of a Student or Executive Council meeting or the curtain on another assembly. Sharing the responsibilities of leadership, the duo exemplified the cooperative effort that went into the building of the spirit that typifies Grand Junction High School. Withthe Tiger Code as an underlying philosophy, Guna and Ron sought to help students carry out the motto: When we work we work hard, and when we play we play hard. GUNA KORDONS, Head Girl RON McNULTY, Head Boy Follow Interests Naturally, for both Guna and Ron, leadership activities form the core of their non-academic school life. An avid sports enthusiast, Ron added strength to both the basketball and baseball Varsity. Summertime found him trying to shoot par on the golf course. Save for swimming and hiking, Guna has less time for sports. She finds great satisfaction in her church work and likes to read. An honor for Guna was serving as secretary of the Western Colorado Student Council Association. Both Ron and Guna attended leadership camps last summer to become better informed school leaders. Serves as Veep Charming, friendly, talented, and attractive describe Linda Heiny, vice president of the student body, to a T. Capably, Linda served as a member of the Executive Council and as chairman of the dance committee. Right hand assistant to Guna and Ron, she pinch hit as presiding officer when necessary. Not only did Linda maintain a high scholastic standing but was a member of a singing quintet, active in church youth work, and a Banner Girl. An accomplished violinist, Linda played in the Symphonic Orchestra and the Civic Symphony. Versatile as a veep. Linda displays a similar trait as a musician since she is also a pianist. Act as Co-Secretaries Staccato-like tapping of the typewriter keys came to symbolize their duties to Shirley Turner and Nita Worcester, co-secretaries. Compiling agendas, keep-ingminutes, carrying on correspondence, cutting stencils, doing dittos--all were part of their daily routine in helping to smooth the functioning of student government. Brunette Shirley and blond Nita both served as Banner Girls. They take active part in church work and enjoy swimming. Unlike Nita who is an experienced skier, Shirley is still a neophyte snow bunny but is eager to become skilled in the sport. For both, their SBA duties pretty well filled their out-of-class time. 93 Work as Committees Don Bedard, Dave Spencer, Larry Lichliter, and Richard Leary, chairman, plan a special assembly. John Arriza, chairman, Tom Dice, and Joey Bonsignore change the safety poster in the display case.

Other members included Dennis Loughner, Freda Weaver, Mildred Smith, Billie Hopper, and Susan Cross. BEVERLY FINNESSEY President Unifies Girls What does a boy want a girl to be like? .. . .How close should a girl sit to a boy in a car? Such were the questions asked a panel of boys by Judy Lewis, moderator. This discussion was just one of the activities sponsored by Girls League . To introduce new girls to the school, big sisters took them to the Coke-Tail and Chili-Chat. In honor of the football team, the League sponsored the Dance of Champs. Visiting with alumni at the Christmas Tea, girls had a chance to ask them questions aboutcollege. A good voters campaign was staged before the general elections.

Gains Momentum Challenged to greater activity, the Boys League made a $106.30 contribution to the newly established scholarship fund. Proceeds came from the faculty vs. senior volleyball game won by the oldsters thanks to their new rule. The league had a hand in sponsoring meetings held monthly between parents and counselors, in bringing in Harold Moss to speak on the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and in providing showcase auto safety warnings. In April the league engineered a Tiger Tromp and later helped with the Senior Farewell Dance. Sparked by their officers, the boys were advised by Robert Johnson, counselor, who also helped choose the Optimist Tiger -of-the -Month.

Together with other GJHSers, journalists at times appeared on programs in the Know Your Schools series on KREX-TV. Second year students headed the planning but were assisted by first year journalists especially in writing stories and newscasting. In preparation for broadcasting, Sandy King and Kay Mike Smedley and Mike Murphy helped with darkroom Bane practice reading teen news on the tape recorder. anc photography work ior pub ications.
