YOUTH FUL MEMORIES RESURFACE Kim Kenyon. Smith was Kenyon's teacher as as Coach Woody Smith consults with Coach DUNN well as coach during her high school years. , ,,x., I f tw, .I ft. ' Rx W inf aa itil, aaa' hat an old nit-picky fuddy duddy! exclaims a student as he realizes his teacher is hopelessly backward, old fashioned, and basical- ly no fun. Sitting back in his desk, the student ponders over the thought that his teacher could ever have been young, maybe even a teenager. Many teachers, though, were once, believe it or not, students themselves. Many did some quite unusual things when they were in high school, and many still do. Ms. Tamera Bauer was as rebel- lious as they came. She skipped her own graduation because she felt it wasn't a great accomplishment be- cause it was so easyf' At her wedding she refused to have to kill flowers for her bouquet. Mr. .lim Bond, social studies teach- er, admits he didnit work as hard as he could have in high school. I was lazy,', he said, and also disobedient. A teacher told me there's a right way, a wrong way, and my fthe teacherisj way, and we do things my way. Mr. Bond coughed in disrespect and was immediately kicked out of class. This Jim Bond was a far cry off the well- liked teacher he is today. Growing up in Denver, Dr. Ted Tsumura, even at a tender age, was concerned about the physiology and health of others. One day during a softball game, a friend was chasing a hard hit ball. It went over the fence, and when his friend climbed over to retrieve it, the ring on his finger caught on the fence. The finger stared Dr. T. straight in the eye. Our dash- ing hero did not falter, though. The finger is something he needed and be- longed to him, I needed to get it back on his handf' Dr. T. grabbed the fin- ger in one hand and his friend in the other and rushed to the hospital. Thanks to the quick thinking of this budding health specialist, his friend was able to regain almost full use of his finger. Many teachers' lives remained similar to that of their younger ones. They were simply not the Hfuddy dud- dies they appeared to be. Mr. Bond explained that teachers appear to be demanding, but in reality they are giving advice because they were once students themselves? Teachers' Pasts

With the help from parent organizations and community groups, Gverland was a school compared to no others. Parents bought ads for their seniors, giving them their blessing, love and congratulations. Businesses bought ads to lend their support and also to offer their congrats to the graduating seniors. Parents donated their free time to help out at school functions, such as the After Prom Party. They also attended sports events, plays, choir and band performances, and, finally, graduation THE SHOPS AT the Ta- bor Center on the l6th Street Mall in downtown Denver was a place for Au- rora teenagers to shop when a change of scenery was needed. The Tabor Center, named after Baby Doe Tabor, was restored and opened in 1984. WHILE IN THE nurse's office, Fr. Casey Vader holds his nose to stop it from bleeding.
