K, 9, Qbffa Mildred Ecck tired from teaching at semester after teaching for nearly 20 years in Jefferson County. Although she concluded her teaching career at Green Mountain where she specialized in teaching 9th graders and classes for seniors who needed additional individualized help in basic skills, Mrs. Eccker returned to teaching in Jeffco after raising her family. Her teaching actually began several years earlier when she taught at Denver's South High School. Mrs. Eccker is joining her husband, Paul, who retired a year earlier from Bear Creek High School. They plan to do a lot more traveling with their increased free time. Ted Desnica, art teacher, retired just before Christmas from Green Mountain High after more than twenty years of teaching in Jefferson County. Mr. Desnica took an early, medical retirement because more than twenty years of exposure to the dusts generated by pottery making and sculpture carving, his specialty, had caused his lungs to become hypersensitive to those materials. Mr. Desnica was one of those teachers who helped open Green Mountain and made the school what it is. He will be sorely missed by the school and will be especially missed by those faculty members and students who had become very fond of him. Although he has retired from teaching, Ted Desnica has not retired from workingg he plans to develop and market his considerable skill as a political and sports cartoonist. 204 - Current Events

Janel .landa types a story onto Oscar, the Apple Ile computer, Fellow Rambling As a rank beginner, being on the yearbook staff was a totally new experience for me. My main job and concern was taking orders, follow- ing directions and asking lots of questions. I wasn't alone though. This year's staff was made up totally of students who had never worked with yearbooks before. The only returning veterans were our three coedi- tors: Tammy Borgman, Debbie Margrave, and Rod Griffin. They had lots of rookies working under them but we all did thejobs given to us, to the best of our abilities, and every thing turned out pretty good when we worked as a group. Putting a yearbook together isn't an easy jobg I learned there's a lot to it. We learned how to draw layouts, crop pictures to fit provided spaces. write copy and many other tasks. Yearbook bought a new Apple Ile computer this year which made a lot ofthe work much easier and faster. We learned to follow instructions, the importance of a group working together and the need for organization. There were many neat people to work with including the sponsor of the yearbook Mr. Dale Bartkus. He let everyone do their own thing and didn't demand work done his way and his way only. After ten years of practice it seems he could always fix major crisis' and still remain calm. When the staff responded to, What do you get out of working on the yearbook'? , the responses varied from I learned how to write more accurately , to I got lots of photography experience.
