Thank-you Editors 4 Happiness Is found In the little things We found happiness In our classroom activities. In the cafeteria and In athletics.

It’s not hard when you know our principal who is distinguished from others because he is ours. A job like his requires a firm hand and a sense of authority. This man possesses these qualities along with patience and a sense of humour. He is fair. It’s not polite to point but Mr. Lucero is a person you’d proudly point to and say, “I know him. He’s our PRINCIPAL.” 17 t Most Spirited Kristi Rea Raymond Neill Biggest Mouth Mirable Mary Ellen Pearson SENIOR Cutest Smile Anthony Anaya Rosa Hinojosa Biggest Flirt Treva Bryan Paul Heikkihei Kristi Rea Dennis Lucero STANDOUTS Tall-N- Talented Best Dressed Bernadette Quintana Anthony Anaya Stacey Young Miguel Rainwater Most Athletic Calla Santistevan Raymond Neil Pint-N- Pixie Wild-N- Craziest Stacey Young Paul Heikkinen 21 ____L OUTSTANDING Best Body Bernadette Quintana Anthony Anaya Roland Quintana Rosa Hinojosa Friendliest i Prettiest Eyes Anthony Anaya Treva Bryan SENIORS Favorite Teacher And Teachers Pets Mr. Whiteman Kristi Rea John Duran Cutest Couple Eleanor Marquez Chris Velasquez t Best Dancers Chucky Gallero Bernadette Quintana Prettiest Hair Anthony Anaya Eleanor Harrison CLASS FA Bernadette Quintana has no comment on why she was chosen as a class favorite. Matt deKay has no comment on why he was chosen as a class favorite. Christine Baker thinks she was chosen as a class favorite because she cares about other people’s feelings. Her most outstanding characteristic is her “personality, and she doesn’t judge people. 24 ISORITES Rick Cate thinks he was chosen because he said, “If he wasn’t chosen he would hold his breath till he turned blue. His most out standing characteristic is the ability to put his right finger in his right ear and it would come out of his left ear. Robbi Jefferson says she was chosen because she black mailed them and sent out chain-letters. Her most outstanding characteristic is the ability to put both of her legs around her head like a pretzel. Greg McClanahan says he was chosen because he bribed the other students.

Rosa M Hinojosa Holt-Ramp, from Los Mochas, Mexico, Is Ignacio's first exchange student Her sparkling brown eyes, her fabulous sense of humor and her beautiful smile will leave a mark that spells ,Friendship on IHS. When asked about herself and her stay In Ignacio, this Is how she replied: When I finished my high school, my first thought was to be an exchange student In Durango where tow of my sisters were exchange students some years ago. Durango High School had enough exchange students and Ignacio High School wanted an exchange student, so they placed me here. My first family was Frank, Terry and Francisco Lucero. My stay lasted only two weeks, where I found help during my hardest times. The Luceros understand and speak Spanish very well. I wanted to placed In a home where only English was spoken so could learn the language better. In September, I moved to Mr. and Mrs. George Bryan's home, where I found a family very much like mine. Mr. George Is the father; Mrs. Charlene Is the mother and my best friend; Todd, my brother Is one sweetheart; and Treva, my sister. Is a senior like me. Here my life Is different. Ignacio High School Is different and It was really hard for me the first months. But with the help of the Luceros and the teachers, I could do It. have found good friends here and only can tell them thanks for helping me and being my friends. I really learned a lot of things. learned much about English, about myself and about people. I learned that the people here are really friendly and super sweet. I will never forget all these people, and I will miss all of you always. JJ. 7 ILL W V loul. 0S4 ■ RONALD CONWAY: Football. Track, Wrestling. 1-Club. LeANNE DANIELSON JOLENE ENGLER: Pep Club.

With all our silly games of play close buddies one and all. No Matter if we scraped our knees. Or fell down in the sand, We d always help each other out, always lend a hand. We used to watch the older ones, go walking right on by. Say, “Do I have to stay little as I am. Is there a reason why?” So now out wishing of growing old have started coming true. With all the problems it has to hold, I wish I was a child again, don t you? When we have all said our goodbyes, to each and every friend, I know I wish for those childhood tyes, and to laugh and play again. Pan Anstead Reeves And In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For In the dew of little things the heart finds Its morning and is refreshed.

That’s the definition of a cheerleader, but the 1979 1980 cheerleading squad gave a whole new meaning to the word cheerleader. In I.H.S. the word means spirit. The squad of 12 (8 varsity 4 J.V.) began their season by winning the Grand Champion trophy at the ASCC (All Star Cheerleading Conference) at Fort Lewis in July. The spirit seemed to carry out to the whole school, as we have had some of the best pep rallys this year. Not only have the girls lead cheers, but they have entertained with skits, dance routines, and many more fun things. They have also worked hard by sponsering a car wash, bake sales, selling spirit bags, and painting windows for spirit week. The girls deserve a big hand for a job well done.

Coming in before school to practice serving was not the funnest thing to do, but it helped the girls with their serves, because everyone was there. Mrs. Ferguson yelled alot but that is the way a coach must be to have a well-disciplined team. Every day it was, “keep your hands above your head” of “get down and hit the floor!” It all paid off when the varsity team beat Monte Vista (the first time in 4 years) and made it to Districts — the first time in the history of IHS. The J.V. team beat Durango’s J.V. and Sophomore teams. Before a game you would find Ferg all gussied up in a suit of some sort and all the girls wearing nice clothes. The bus would be rowdy with singing and the anticipation of the games to come. After the games were played, everyone would be ready for a ‘whopper” or something else to eat, and you would always hear Marlene, Cheryl or Robbi asking for leftovers. Then there were the silly ones who had marshmallow stuffing contests and danced up and down the isles singing about everything and anything! It was that certain warmth that was felt by the closeness of the team. The tears, the laughter and the pride were the characteristics of those teams. Whenever there was a win, the entire team rejoiced and celebrated the victory. The same went for a loss, some cried and some didn’t, but it was felt by the entire team. The season was always ended with a fun-filled, action packed party at Ferg’s house. For the Seniors of this year it will be a season to remember and the pride will always remain. 78 79 JUNIOR VARSITY 80 J.V.

For the most part, the club tries to get together on Monday evenings to practice those skills which will help them when the actual events come to life In the spring of the year. The practice can be very rigorous for those students who dedicate themselves to the club. When not at training, the club members discuss money raising projects to help them attend the rodeos they hope to attend. 82 RODEO CHAMPIONS GO TO NA TIONAL FINALS Jerry Mackey Pete Millich This year’s seniors, Pete Millich and Jerry Mackey, attended the 31st annual National High School Rodeo Finals which were held in Fargo, North Dakota, during August of 1979. The competition was harsh. Millich, the Colorado state bronco riding champion, was bucked after two rides, and Mackey competed in the cutting competitions. When asked how they felt about being able to attend the finals, a look of pride came over both faces, and It’s no wonder. 83 Pete Millich waiting for competition to begin. Coach Duran: Coach Doane: “The team was not working well together ... Next year may improve” Coach Little: “The breaks were against us......Next season will turn out better” Coach Melton: “Two or three players drug us down ...

The student council started planning in June and the excitement that the members showed just seemed to spread throughout the community. The whole school crowded into the gym to watch rivalry volleyball games between the classes. It was quite a battle, but the Junior came out on top with a victory over both the Sophomores and the Seniors. On Thursday. October 11. the sophomores were initiated by being sold as slaves to the upper classmen. They were shown with their masters in a parade on Friday. It was a funny site to see and everyone had a good laugh! Sophomores, the first place winners of the class skits, had the student body and faculty rolling with laughter with their version of Weekend Update. It was a tough decision as the other skits were also well performed. Several Ignacio students and teachers participated in the ta;ent show which exposed much hidden talent. Eleanor Marquez, who sang One Tin Soldier, received first place. The community got involved by donating gifts to the student council to use as prizes in the scavenger hunt. The hunt served two purposes: It helped clean up the town and the garbage was used to build a bonfire. You have never seen so much as that day when all the trash bags were piled up by the gym doors. Everyone’s spirit was going strong and there was that certain excitement In the air that is felt when everyone is having a good time. Friday proved to be a fun-filled day starting with the slave parade and then moving downtown for the spirit parade. All three schools plus some people from the community participated, and there was competition in floats between the classes, which the three principals judged. Juniors took first place. That afternoon there was a field day where everyone participated in the obstacle course which was set up by the student council. Class comptltion in field events filled the crowd with excitement, as the Juniors won the 11-legged race and the Seniors showed their strength by winning the tug-o-war. During the events there were booths, sponsered by classes and various organizations. The student council’s dunking booth seemed to be the main attraction, where everyone crowed around to see the members get dunked. Even Mr. Lucero participated by getting up on the dunking machine. The excitement that was shown all day carried on through the evening when the whole community gathered to have a snake dance around the school grounds, a pep rally, and a bonfire. This was the first bonfire Ignacio has seen for many years and certainly the biggest. Homecoming day started out early with the first alumni breakfast in the history of Ignacio High, at the Pino Nuche. The turn out was not as good as expected, but those who did show had a good time reminishing. When they were finished they came down to the High School to watch our girls defeat the Pagosa Pirates in a very exciting game of volleyball. Later they carried their spirit over to the football field to watch the Bobcats play against Pagosa. a team which, up to that point, were undefeated and had never been scored on. At halftime all the alumni present crowded onto the football field to watch the 1979 Homecoming Queen. Kristi Rea. and her attendents. Tina Mestas and Carmela Quintana, crowned. The alumni Queens were given flowers. Unfortunately, the Pirates left Ignacio still undefeated with a score of 0-6. To end the spirited week, a dance was held in the wrestling room. Neumann’s Band performed and everyone had a great time, a good ending to a terrific week. Student council and Mr. Achierno did a fantastic job planning spirit week and they deserve a big THANK YOU! 1. The Juniors and their coach preping for the 11-legged race. 2.

Our Chief editor Kelli showing what she feels about deadlines. Sitting: Georgia Kellywood, Roberta Scott, Maya Baker, Karen Santistevan. Standing: Arlene Baker, Mrs. Morlan, Marlene Frank. Bryant Valencia, Kelli Kasik, Keith Thompson. Cecilia Velasquez, Stacey Young. Shawn Danielson. Lorna Smith, Rita Wilson. We would all like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Morlan for putting up with all the hassles of teaching a class like this 116 Cecilia and Donald working hard to meet the deadline. Kelli and Stacey talking to the class. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” This is the constant comment that comes from the Photojournalism students. This is the first year that the Photojournalism class is being offered. The year starts out with a workshop which is sponsored by the yearbook production company. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce students to the many facets of yearbook production. The class entails production of the yearbook and occasional newsletters. Students learn basic layout designs, copywriting, and fundamentals of Photography. This class differs from others because cooperation plays a major role in determining whether or not the yearbook will result in a cohesive publication of the year’s events. According to Mrs. Morlan “The subject matter here is not somehing which one can learn through books. Most of what the students learn comes through experience and sharing with one another. For the most part, the students have very little experience and so the learning process is a slow one. Another handicap is that there are certain deadlines to meet and missing these deadlines can mean money added to the final billing. Many of the students have no notion about what It means to meet a deadline and this precipitates problems and many headaches.” For the most part, the students work hard. 117 Stacey spacing again!

The one-act plays took place at the elementary school. It was a special treat for the students of the school. Mrs. Hott has eight Juniors and seniors In her class. The first play was named, “Santa Goes Mod”. Santa (Greg) almost called off Christmas because he was tired of going out, so all kinds of reporters were asking Santa why he was calling off Christmas. The second play was “Time Out for Christmas”. A rag doll and a teddy bear were trying to make time go fast. Of course, with Tic and Toe (Kendra and Wendy) they helped the holidays come sooner. And the third play was “Forgetful Santa ”. Santa (David) forgot his memory and there was no Christmas until the Queen (Eleanor) gave him help with his memory. Who likes rules? Restriction rules, bedtime rules, room rules, hour rules, checkout rules, chewing rules, smoking rules, drinking rules, laundry rules, and boundary rules. Who likes rules? Well Rita Wilson and Richie Porambo don’t like those rules. Because as they see it they don’t think the rules are fair. As the story of dorm life starts, the name of the dorm is B.I.A. and it is located across the long yard from the Day Care Center. There is approximately 135 students of the B.I.A. This dormitory provides various activities such as: pool hall, leather classes, tutoring classes, arts and crafts classes and movie nights.
