TABLE OF CONTENTS WISDOM-.............4 REFINEMENT-........26 SPORTSMANSHIP------58 REALITY-..........-94 IMAGES------------128 BOOSTERS..........162 2 Aetion, the theme for this years Le Resume is self explanatory since high school students are forever on the go - always on their way to classes, games, dances, or just exploring the world around. Action is accented by students. Division pages repeat the cover theme with a picture emphasized in each sec- tion. The yearbook begins with what we all are here for, wisdom or learning. Refinement plays a big part in the cultural student life. John Held, who retired at the end of the 1974-75 school year after 36 years of service to the school, is emphasized in the refinement section. State and district championships are becoming common at S.H.S. Rex Bell rep- resents sportsmanship of youths and boosters in Salida. The world around us begins to take hold during high school years. Reality section contains happenings that affected people of Salida throughout the year. Dodi Long became an image at Salida High, as she supported her fellow towns- people at games. Dodi is the youngest self-appointed cheerleader. Finally comes our booster section. Without the backing of all these people Le Resumi wouldn't be possible. 4 5 Social Studies classes here displayed a mixture of the aca- demic and practical. Emphasis is on practical skills which ena- ble students to understand and participate in the mainstream of life. Underclass pupils grappled with world affairs or a general overview of world history. Emphasis was on events which seem to be responsible for world happenings today. Juniors took American history where they had opportunity to experience some life styles of early settlers in America. A multi-media approach urged students to investigate personal interests including old time” food preparation, Spanish influ- ences in the Southwest and other parts of the country, firearms, architecture, art, macrame, social trends, current events, early forms of punishment and penal systems, and others. Social Studies Classes Here Mix Academic And Practical Seniors studied Russia, Latin America, African nations, and other areas of special interest to Americans today. These classes were academically orientated for students who particularly intend to head for colleges or universities. Events ranging from Presiden- tial resignation to rampaging inflation and the continuing energy crisis made American Government a practical course of study. Students in Salida became more aware of the world around them, mostly because events simply would not be ignored. Administrators plan to expand course offerings at least during the Centennial-Bicentennial year, to include Colorado his- tory. 6 Cindy Schrader dutifully worked at academic history and later discovered the excitement of historical research as she sought information on the family ranch at Howard (top left).

Bottom right: Dave Becker discusses American History assignment with members of the first hour class. 7 Students took on wider ” Margins” this year as they learned new skills in typing, foreign language, and English. French and Spanish students had their encounter with gay Paris, Puerto Rico, and foreign language in general through films, slides, and the text book. Typing students learned the skill of communication through typing letters, data sheets, and the lessons of typew- ritten communication so necessary in business today. The basic form of communication in America today is of course, the English Language. Many students crossed the paths of popular writers and were able to take a deeper look into basic English form and theme. The English department offers the largest selection of both required and elective courses at Salida High. Students can find courses ranging from basic freshman English to Bible literature. A new course being contemplated for next year is a senior level elective in Indian literature , with emphasis on material written by American Indian authors rather than the more common material written about the Indian by whitemen.

In this area students may choose from such claves as wood shop, metal shop, and drafting. In recent years classes in this section have been opened to girls. Wood Shop I is a class in learning to use hand tools and machines. It is taught almost entirely by the project method. Wood Shop II uses advanced methods. In Metal Shop I, fundamentals are taught with some experience on equip- ment. Advanced Metal Shop is restricted to oxy-acetylene and arc welding. Drafting I familarizes the student with drafting tools, and the basics of the an. It leads into Drafting II with architectural and electronic drafting. 10 Opposite page, top: Ernest Dunckhorst instructs Jim Johnson and Mike Hollenbeck on the use of a torch.

The somewhat extraordinary weather this spring has, how- ever, been a problem for teach- ers and students. First, spring was slow com- ing. Then, when everyone thought it was here to stay, snow forced activities back inside. Then the outdoor equipment was brought out again. The wind blew, and archers had to give up. It snowed again. The ground dried, and boys geared up for softball. Archery targets were set up again, tennis rackets were uncovered, and the soccer and volleyball equipment was issued. And then, it was back to the gym - inside once again. Girls played murder ball. Boys high jumped. Bowling was a class activity earlier in the spring when no one really expected to be able to get outside. Busing to this activity, unlike other areas of the country, was not forced - students had the option of walk- ing from Super Bowl if they 12 missed their ride. Boys playing softball include Terry Jackson at bat and Steve Daniels catching. Pitcher Is Steve Kane, student teacher from Western State Col- lege. Fielders are Frank De Leo and Dave Dear- lng. Archers are Veronica Dice, teacher; Cheryl Evans. Sandra Graf, Lisa Morris, Diana Packard and Debbie Salayar. Gail Dogue was throwing the ball and Debbie Floryanclc was on the dodge. John Spezze was one of many bowlers. « 13 Auto Mechanics Provide Shop Experience A two year course in auto mechanics is offered at Salida High School. The course is divided into auto mechanics I and auto mechanics II, both in two hour blocks. Auto Mechanics I, in which juniors are enrolled, teaches most of the the- ory in auto mechanics while also pro- viding some shop experience. The Senior Class, or Auto Mechanics II. does more shop work while learning more theory. The course plan is designed to cover such areas as; wheel alignment, brake systems, engine, clutch and transmis- sions, drivelines, differential, and electrical systems. The course also includes the use of modern equipment such as the Sun Diagnostic Machine. This machine is used for engine trouble diagnosis, and tune up among many other capabili- ties. Other equipment includes porta- ble Sun machines which can test bat- teries, starters and generators. With auto shop in two hour blocks the state will reimburse the school for half of the shop's spending on tools and equipment. Opposite page, top: Greg Argys works on a tire.

IS Search For Specialized Material Leads To Expanded Library Use First period physics students taught by Ted Dreith, studied wave patterns using a Slinky to represent transverse waves. Chris Gibbs, far right, helped with the demonstration. Others pictured are: Lonnie Adams, Steve Post, Mary Conese, Vicki Koontz, Mark Neises (dressed for 50's day) and Doug Arnold. 16 With space technology and computerization coming on strong in the world, students find there is more reason for emphasis on science and math classes. Ecology and environmental studies play an imponant part in the curriculum of all the sci- ence classes here. The basics are not forgotten, however. Students find more and more reason to use the card catalog to find material which they would have thought remote a few months earlier. A continuing effort on the part of Librarian Glenda Shepler, aided by sug- gestions from teachers and administrators, is up-grading the Salida High media center and students are often surprised with the material they can dis- cover there. Science classes are not the only discipline which use the center. Social studies, English, Foreign language, and voca- tional students find more reason to use materials each year. A special project which began this year, and will continue in 1976, is the building of a Colo- rado Centennial Library of state and local history. The Colorado History section of the library is one of the best in the state, with many books dealing with state history. Charles Mellen, superintend- ent, is overseeing the project which will add much local his- tory to the media center. His goal is to have student research and prepare the material. Mias Glenda Shepler. media center librarian, had a staff of student helpers this year. Theresa Sauke was one of the aids. There was a flurTy of card checking near the end of the year as students checked in books and library staffers had to get them on the shelves in the right order. 17 Home Ec Sponsors 2nd Pre-School The second annual preschool was held May 12-23. Preschool was again under the direction of Mrs. Sally Van Horn. The program is for students ages four to five. Class started at 8:45 and ended at 11 a.m. in the home economics room. The program included play with other children, stories, music, and other educational activities, along with a mid-morning snack. Fifteen children were enrolled in the preschool class. Mrs. Van Horn said purpose of the preschool is for high school students to observe behavior of children and to help both age groups learn through a variety of experiences. The two weeks ended with a grad uation ceremony for the children. The students sang songs, and received their first diplomas. Parents and other fam- ily members of the students observed graduation.

It's time to eat lunch, to talk, and to tell those special secrets to friends. And when we're tired of talk- ing we attend any one of a dozen class meetings. I.R.C. in room 1, or Student Council in the Library, all of which meet during lunch. Stu- dents often play with a frisbee or throw a football around. Noontime ... a chance to study for tests, and to catch up on homework, to read . . . Some people elude the faculty, and have a smoke in Post's Alley” or head for Pizza Hut or the A W. Noontime ... a time to talk to people on the plaza, to sit on the lawn and conversa- tionalize or just to stand in the halls, lean against the lockers, and watch the people go by. Noontime ... a free time ... a time to do your special thing, to do whatever you want to do and to do it the way you want to. 20 Opposite page, spring time allowed students to enjoy lunch hour out-of-doors.

He feels that students should develop creativity during high school because it can be used in later life. Farney explained that if one chose to change his home around he will know the basics of color and balance to do so. Farney teaches art classes that begin with art I students who are not advanced. These students learn the basics, such as color, design, and simple drawing. Second year of an is for more advanced students who are interested in an and willing to work at their an productions. Third and fourth year an is more or less on an independent basis. Farney assigns the class a media to work from and they develop creations from there. Besides an classes, Farney has a crafts class in which twelve juniors and seniors are allowed. Unlike most crafts classes, stu- dents are not allowed to use kits, instead, artists create their own projects. Farney feels that if students can do a project without a kit they will appreci- ate the project more. The last few weeks of school were spent working outside. At least two original drawings were turned in per week. An all day field trip was taken by An IV students. They went into the hills and drew what they were attracted to.

With a fast ris- ing inflation, students learned how to manage money, homes, and food. A budget of $600 was given to each student. Pupils planned how to manage their homes with only $600 a month. Meals, car expenses, and other monthly expenses were included in the monthly budget. Speakers made various appearances, with talks ranging from insurance to drapery making. Mr. Roster and Mr. Perschbacher talked on insurance, bringing the policy down to a student level. Movies on reconciling bank statements and writ- ing checks were viewed. Mrs. Van Horn feels that most students are faced with money problems after graduation, if not before, so they should know how to handle money. Cooking included Christmas breads, pies, Easter meals, and a meal from a foreign country. Stu- dents wrote on a countries history and prepared a meal which their country'' would eat. Basic luncheons were also prepared by students. These meals had to be balanced and nutritional. 24 Opposite page. top: Lonnie Adams eats a piccf of pie cooked by Home Ec students and sold to the student body.

Theme for the scenes revolved around bridging the communication gap between young people and par- ents. The scenes showed the gap is not a new phenomenon, but one which has plagued generations for hundreds of years. Workshops were conducted by the six members for the Spartan Players. In addition to the school perform- ance and workshop, the caravan pre- sented evening shows, on a ’’pass the hat for expenses” basis. Evening per- formances were American adaptations of Japanese Kyogen comic drama. An additional $70 collected above expenses for Colorado Caravan was donated to the Spartan Players. The money was spent to upgrade the drama club library and everyday expenses. Pictured on these pages are selected scenes from the scenarios and workshops. In upper left are: Dannie McCarthy, Debie High and Lisa Gentile members of the Spartan Players who worked with the group throughout the day. 28 CU Caravan Sponsors Workshop Seniors Welcome Frosh The wet look became the new fad Sept. 18 and 19 as Salida High Freshmen were welcomed into school by upperclassmen in the traditional fashion. To the consternation of school officials, the event ended with a wet and wild experience. As voices joined in unison, an unknown person turned on a sprinkler and sent freshmen, bystanders, and upperclassmen In Traditional Fashion in all directions. After school, a few extra attractions were added to con- tinue the welcoming ceremo- nies such as target practice on frosh with water balloons, a few rounds of ring around-the- rosey, and some extra curricu- lar singing on K VRH. An administrative announce- ment Thursday advised frosh of their rights making it clear that freshmen did not have to com- ply with senior wishes after school hours. After initiation ceremonies a freshman welcome dance with music by the Christopher from Colorado Springs was sponsored Sept. 20 by student council. The band cost the council about $200 and the gate receipts totaled only a little over $100. Freshmen were admitted free. 30 Opposite page, far left: Karen Jacoby licks her fake ice cream cone during class.

The program included members of the Junior High School Glee Club, the High School Girls' Chorus, High School Mens' Chorus, Freshman Mixed Glee Club, Girls Treble Clef, Mens Octet, and the combined junior and senior high choir. The vocal clinics were first held in 1942, and 1943 and then not again until 1947. During the three years between 1943 and 1947, John Held, director of Salida High School vocal music was in the armed services. After the clinic. Treble Clef and Octet spon- sored a reception in the cafeteria of the high school in honor of Held who is retiring this year after 36 years of service. Everyone was invited to attend. Many of his old students helped to make it a success,” said Helen Jay, senior treble clef member. 32 Opposite page, top: Freshman Chorus sing at spring clinic under direction of John Held.

The Salida appearance was the last in a series the group presented throughout the San Luis Valley and Southern Colorado this spring. The choir, made up of about 60 members, presentei a full hour of vocal music, accompanied by several instrumentalists. Most of the concert was presented by the full choir, but a Madrigal Choir and several individuals completed the program. Salida High School students indi- cated their enjoyment of the perform- ances with the standing ovation which has become traditional here for well received assembly performances. 35 Salida High Band Participates In Concerts And Marches The band participated in many activities this year. In the fall it played for the football games and went to the Air Force Academy for Band Day. They also marched in the Homecom- ing parade.

The star of the tree is chosen from one of the outstanding female voices in the choir, alternately alto or soprano every year. In 1959, however, a senior boy was chosen to top the tree. Milton McBride, was chosen as the star because according to John Held, director of the choir, he worked hardest and contributed more of him- self than any other member of the choir that year, including the girls. Since then, however, girls have domi- nated the top position of the tree. 1959 also marked the first trip the choir made to the KOAA studios to film The Singing Christmas Tree for television. This was the fifteenth year that KOAA, channel 5, has aired the program. I'm very proud that KOAA invites us back every year remarked Held. Very few school choirs are invited to film television programs. This year was Held’s last year at Salida High, since he retired at the end of the 1974-75 school year. The trip to Pueblo itself has been unmarred by any major problems over the years. The worst mishap occured when it was discovered that the piano the studio had borrowed from a local church was locked. After a 45-minute search for the pastor of the church, the key was located and everything went as planned. This year the choir travelled to Pueblo by bus, leaving Salida after school Dec. 10, and returned to Salida around 12:30 a.m. This year the choir did not stop at a school along the way and give a performance as they have done in the past. The half-hour television program was aired Sunday, Dec. 22, at 9:30 p.m. The Singing Christmas Tree gave two other performances. The first was a free concert to the public Dec. 17, and the second was presented to the student body Dec. 20. 1974 members of the Singing Christmas tree: Helen Jay. Tami Ashley, Mary Cortese, Lisa Gentile. Sherri Medrano. Carol Jaques, Karen Kurtz. Lois Albers. Charleen Adams. Vicki Kootz, Dani Long. Eileen Perez. Roxanne Hunter. Lisa Hutchison. Laurie Smith.

Kelly O'Conner. Joe Veltri, John Myers. Eugene Sirokman. Mike Turley, Dan McQueen, Kasey O'Conner, and Mark Dameron. Accompanists were Greta Dunckhorst and Lora Kroeger. 39 Assemblies held this year were designed to add to the refinement of education at Salida High and to add to the general knowledge or appreciation of students. Many students said they believe the assembly schedule this year was an improvement over the one last year. James Darrell Powell, a classical guitarist from Salida, presented a con- cert here in the auditorium Jan. 26. His classical music kept students lis- ening attentively for more than an lour. Powell placed at Colorado Mountain College in Salida Feb. 2, at the C.M.C. campus in Leadville Feb. 9, and staged a concert at Western State College in Gunnison Feb. 16. While not an assembly as such, the U.S. Air Force was on hand this spring with a traveling version of the cockpit of a B52 bomber. Valerie Martinez was one of the students who sat at the com- plicated controls. A highlight of the musical year came as the Sublette High School Band from Sublette, Kansas, staged a con- cert of listening and longhair” music May 5. The band has 98 students and there are only 176 students enrolled at Sub- lette High. The band is under the direction of Daddy Bullwhip Bran- don, director for the last 14 years. During the Salida performance, the band also displayed a 20-piece stage band which played a more lively selection of tunes. The Sublette Band has performed at Salida before. The Kansas band was in Colorado this year to perform for the Canon City Blossom Festival. They made the Salida side-trip as they prepared to leave the state for home. Members of the band explained Kansas law forbids the band from bringing home trophies, but added that the group always receives top ratings on their extensive tours. The band funds tours by holding bake sales, loading hay, selling candy, running concession stands and taking inventory for persons needing the help. Assembly Schedule Adds Refinement To Education 40 4 41 Dramatists Perform Outstanding One-Act Play The revamped drama club at Salida High School strived for improvements during the year. Under director Ron Lynch, president Lisa Gentile, vice- pres. Mark Neises, and sec. Kelly Williams, the club sported 27 mem- bers, and went by the name Spartan Players. Outside of regular plays, the club ventured into Readers Theatre per- forming for children in the annual Halloween show. Many members felt the Readers Theatre Company was a great asset to the over-all betterment of the club. The club also presented many per- formances including the one-act The Boor in Pikes Peak League competi- tion and Where Have All the Light- ening Bugs Gone at C.S.U. One-Acts were presented in November. The opening night featured The Boor with Dannie McCarthy, Kelly Wil- liams. Mark Neises, and He Done Her Wrong with Amy Bemick, Tami Ashley, Brenda Anderson, Valerie Martinez, Brock Oyler, and Tim Albers. Action was inaugurated the next night when The Great Western Melodrama, was staged starring Steve Chelf, Jeanie Jackson, Doug Long, Kelly Williams, Jim Miller, and Mark Neises. Aria da Capo was the finale employing Pam Smith, Brock Oyler, Mike Turley, Steve Dan- iels, and Chris Limberis. In the spring, Salida was treated to three one-act plays dealing with com- munication. Where Have All the Lightening Bugs Gone featuring Pam Smith and Brock Oyler kicked off the evening production. The Bald Soprano boasting the cast of Lisa Gentile, Steve Chelf, Tim Albers, Mark Neises, Brenda Anderson, and Dannie McCarthy. Chris Limberis and Kelly Williams staged the finale Birdbath.

Here he is the fastest gun in the West but finally succumbs to her one shot. The play Where Have All the Lightning Bugs Gone, dealt with two people learning how to touch each other as human beings and not as sexual persons. Chris Limberis, (below) played Captain Hook in the Halloween performance, aids youngster with the lyr- ics as the entire crowd sang after the show. Candy was then presented to all the youngsters in the house. Pam Smith and Brock Oyler were presented best actress and best actor awards, while Kelly Wil- liams and Chris Limberis were cited for supporting awards. Lisa Gentile was unanimously chosen Spar- tan Player of the year. Opposite page, top: The Fire Chief, (Steve Chelf) cheerfully elaborates to Mrs. Smith, (Dannie McCarthy) and Mr. Martin.

Back In The week of Jan. 31-Feb. 4 was designated 1975 Spirit week. The week began with students dressed in overalls with the theme Spartans are overall. Wednesday students dressed as clowns and the theme was Spartans don’t clown around. Thursday stu- dents were dressed in the true hippy style. Spartans are hip was that day’s theme. Spirit week climax came on Friday when students (and some teachers) dressed in fifties style. As one strolled down SHS halls he could see girls with the neat rolled socks, long (calf) dresses, high pony tails, and shiny red lips. Boys were dressed in high collared shirts, with greasy red lipstick on the collars. Their hair was full of greasy kid stuff, plastering it down. Many gangs’ were seen in the halls with their own gang coats, high water pants, and chains, challenging anyone or another gang to a fight. The day ended with an assembly honoring the best dressed people of the week. 47 Winter Sports Dance Highlights Spartan Activities - uit 'm Annual winter sports activi- ties began with selecting queen candidates. Student council chose four girls from the senior class as candidates. Candidates were Denise Gleason, Brenda Marquis, Jeni Wheatley, and Cindy Wolverton. Miss Wheat- ley was crowned Winter Sports queen at an assembly Feb. 28. Voting for queen were members of girls and boys basketball and wrestling team members. A dance was held March 1 in rooms 1 and 2 at the high school. Playing at the dance was Easy Street from Denver. Student Council paid for part of the band and decorated. Pep club also paid for part of the band. 48 Opposite page, top left: are candidates and their escorts - Denise Gleason, Brenda Marquis, Cindy Wolverton.

Matinee performances were held Monday and Tuesday for junior and senior high students. Performances open to the public were staged Wednesday and Thursday nights at 8 p. m. John Held, originator of the traditional variety show, said there were more individual acts this year than in previous years. Lisa Gentile, a senior, was Mistress of Ceremonies for the 24-act extravaganza. She said, I felt privileged to be the last Mistress of Ceremonies under Mr. Held's direction. Held retired at the end of this academic year. The Stage Band, under the baton of Arlin Buller, instru- mental music instructor, pro- vided overture and accompani- ment music at each perform- ance. Luella Valerio, junior and a performer in the show, said There was a good turn out and the show really came off well.'' Becky Spence, another per- former in the show said she felt the show this year was Better because there was more indi- vidual work rather than so many groups.' ’ Terri Farley indicated she thought the show in 1975 was better because members of the cast were trying harder for Held’s last year. I thought there were some really special acts, was Danny McQueen’s reaction to the show this year. His feelings were echoed when Sally Randolph said, I thought 'Wolf Creek Pass’ and the dance done by Mark Dam- eron and Karen Abbott were neat! Another of the participants was enthusiastic about the cooperation and support dis- played by members of the cast. Students new to Salida High were in the dark about the tra- ditional performance. They indicated they didn't know what the show was or what to expect. They were reportedly a little wide-eyed when the student matinee had ended. Held first brought up the idea and tried it out in the 1939-40 school year. Since that time, the vocal music review has become a tradition, unbroken for 34 years. Preparation, planning and organization of the show is a big task every year, and Held is quick to credit his wife Mary with much of the work in that area. Mrs. Held teaches second grade at Longfellow Elementary School here. Held received awards com- memorating his many years of service and particularly recog- nizing his service with Spartan Sparkles following the final performance this year. He had tears in his eyes as he accepted momentos from stu- dents. Many members of the audi- ence wept openly, and most admitted to a large lump in their throats. Acts included, counter-clockwise, from center of spread. Mike Lara and Luella Valerio, Mexi- can Hat Dance; Mike McQueen and Wally Gol- den, members of the Stage Band: Lisa Gentile.

John Held, vocal music director at Salida High School retired at the end of this school year. Held indicated that when he started the show 34 years ago, he never imagined it would become the success it has.

The spotlight was dark, and auditorium empty following what might have been the last Spanan Sparkles. Principal John Ophus said last spring he did not know whether the show would be continued, modified, or discontinued in 1976. Student feeling was mixed. Some said the show should be discontinued to create a historic monument” to Held. Others felt it should be continued as a living monument” to the life- time musician. 53 Decorating for prom are Larry Smith, Cindy Pasquale, Tina Vigil, Renee Gleason. Lisa Hutchinson.

Chosen as queen was Jill Chavez and her escort Steve Murphy was chosen as king. According to superintendent Charles Melien, there had been a queen crowned for prom at least 30 years at Salida High, and a king in the past ten years. The dance was held in the Elks basement and decorated by the junior class to go along with the theme of A Night With The Gods.” Junior classs mem- bers began decorating a week and a half before the dance. John Myers said Junior class members helped on decorating pretty well, about 20 people helped every night.” The band was Listen,” the cost of the band was $800. Pam Bess stated, ’’The band was great. The junior class spent $1,500 for prom this year. Refreshments were served by four sophomore girls, including Carla Miller, Lisa Hutchinson, Cheryl Miller, and Kathy Webb, some of the junior girls decided on what they were going to have then bought the groceries and gave them to the four girls to get them ready for the dance. The band and all had a break at 11 p.m. for the crowning and serving of refreshments. The dance was 9 to 12 and a breakfast was served after the dance at the Samara Inn by vol- unteer junior class mothers. Approximately 45 couples attended A Night With The Gods, or the 1975 prom. About seven teachers and their wives attended prom. 55 Prom Evening Portrays A Night With The Gods This page. Carol Jaques and John McBride dance by the fountain.

It was during everyday practices that Spartans found out what football is all about. The J.V. and varsity team worked together, improving each oth- er’s weakness and giving the other the support they were entitled to. Joe Her- gert led the Spartans for his fifth year as head coach. He was assisted by ded- icated men, Larry Bride, Jim Gentile, and Bill Thornton. Trainers and man- agers were also part of the team, tak- ing care of minor injuries, taping and being around when needed. As the Spartans improve every year, so do their opponents. Some teams stood out such as Montrose, the Spar- tans first opposer. Eyes were opened as Salida proved its goal with a victory. Montrose, a triple A team, was expected to take first in their league. Buena Vista gave the Chaffee County title to Salida in Buena Vista with a 26-8 victory for Salida. Florence was an unbeaten ball club before they met the Spartans and were walked on by Salida. St. Marys of Colorado Springs was a new and tough addition to the Pikes Peak league, taking second in the league. Homecoming was a great one when the Spartans kept St. Mary under the whole game. Brush may have been the deciding factor of the 1974 A A State Champs. With a few minutes left the score tied 14-14. With 47 sec- onds left in the game, Salida’s Murphy made the final touchdown. The Big Purple” was ready to face the 1973 champions, Rifle. Salida did it again and again. A replay of the 1971 state playoff came when Salida stomped on Monte Vista. Determination, power and fantastic coaching brought another state title to Salida. Because the title of Double A State Champions is one of distinction, the football team picture is included on the endsheets in color. Below is iden- tification.

Never the less, members are devoted to the sport and spend long hours preparing for meets. Coached by Leland Skow, Salida's cross country team proved its strength by taking a place in almost every meet they attended. With only four run- ners at their first meet they took 33 out of 35. As their record shows they held their place in the other meets. Two strong members of the team will graduate this year, An Medina and Andy Hutchin- son. Medina took fourth in state. There is still a future for the team with a lot of young and fast runners. Mitch Butterfield, a junior, is a good prospect for the future along with other returning members.

Although this year’s gymnastics team was young and inexperi- enced, it was able to hold its place in the league. Only three letterwomen returned this year, leaving nine new girls. No members are expected to be lost for next year since there are no seniors. Few injuries hindered the team this year. A future of success is ahead for Salida High’s gymnastics team because of the interest and hard work of each team member according to Coach Veronica Dice.

The team was coached by first year mentor James Kropp and was composed of five returning lettermen, Steve Murphy, Rex Bell, Hank Matthies, Terry Baldino, Chris Gibbs, and one junior Chris Limberis. Other members were Ron Jackson, Kelly O’Conner and juniors Sam Harden, Joe Davis, Kris Kropp, and Ron Marshall. Led by postmen Rex Bell and Hank Matthies the Spartans generally con- trolled the boards on both ends of the court. Bell posted a 16% average while Matthies carried a 12% rebounding norm. Guard Chris Limberis led the hoop- sters in the assist department with a total of 84, Bell had 49, and Steve Murphy passed off for 46. Four players averaged double figures for league play with Bell, who shot a blazing 70% leading the way with a 15 norm. Murphy posted a 10 average while shooting 40%. Matthies shot 65% for 11 points per game. Limberis hit on 50% to give him an average of 10. As shown above, Spartans had the elements of victory but failed to put it together. Many players felt the support of the school and town was better than in past years, and the returnees should make for a successful season next year.

Coached by Bill Thornton, Junior Varsity grapplers finished the season 7-0, with AAA foe Canon City coming the closest to beating them with a score of 26-20. Thorton, who has been coaching the J.V. teams, said this years team was possibly one of the best he has ever had to coach and watch wrestle. Thorton went on to say that the competition gets tougher each year. He commented that in the past, he has had four undefeated teams and two teams with only one loss. This, he said, is really a credit to this year's team. Although seniors do not usually wrestle J.V., there were two on the team. Thorton commented he was especially proud of these two wrestlers, because they sparked the spirit and they were always in there trying their hardest. The coach singled out three individuals on the team as team leaders. All three were sophomores, and all three lost only one match each this season. The three were Jim Ara- gon, Doug Long, and Norm Schrader. Junior Varsity Wrestlers Remained Unbeaten In Single Team Meets Junior Varsity Wrestling Record Date Dec. 14 Buena Vista Sal.

They met competition at state but were still able to take fifth out of the 55 schools that attended the track meet. Girls placing in state were Andrea Sustrich, Cindy Martellaro, Monica Henderwerk, Mary Hatrick, and the mile relay team consisting of Rochelle Beauchamp, Penny Jo Smith, Mary Hatrick, and Andrea Sustrich. Only seven tracksters graduated at the end fo the ”75'’ school year, leaving a strong team for the future, stated one of the senior members.

Council opened the Carnival to booths sponsored by individ- ual clubs and school organiza- tions as another activity to help them raise money in a day of increasing inflation. About 600 persons attended including students, parents, senior citizens, and a good number of ' 'small fry.'' Vocational and Industrial Clubs of America, (VICA), Salida chapter, sponsored a popular car bash. Richard Brandt, shown at upper left, paid 50 cents for the fun of smashing the window. He lost the hammer onto the front seat. The car was donated by ACE Hardware, and it ran when the bash started! Librarian Glenda Shepler vol- unteered to get dunked - and she did, scores of times. She said she struck out three soft ball pitchers in a row, but a sharp-eyed junior high student dunked her three times in three throws. Harold Johnson was billed as champion arm-wrestler for the S Club, but young Phillip Mar- tellaro pinned the champ in short order. (It did take a bribe from the photographer also). Connie Hollenbeck was one of the cheerleaders who manned the kissing booth. She espe- cially enjoyed this smooch with Guy Edmonds from Howard. There was male pucker power behind the checkered curtains for the liberated femmes who wanted to buy a kiss from some good looking hunk-a-man. Other booths included a senior fishing pond, photo and year- book display and sales, picture taking booth, French pasteries, football throw, ring toss, cake walk, and lots of conversation and music. 91 Working Students Learn Survival Although the co-op and work study programs are based on the same idea of community work for school credit, they have their differences. The work study program, originated by Jon Bedford, involves one year of pratical training in the classroom. The next year, students work in the school community and learn how to work under an employer. The students work for three months under one employer then are taken to another job. This also helps the stu- dent decide what type of job he may want to choose after he finishes school. This program has helped stu- dents find high paying jobs with only a high school education. In the co-op program, students start out in community work. No limit is set- to the hours one can work. One credit is given to the student for every hour he works, and students are paid the minimum wage. Together, the two programs are nothing more than a survival course. They help students learn to survive in the hustle and bustle of the world. 98 Opposite page, top: Brenda Marquis prepares price tags for clothing at her co-op job at Amar- anth.

Twelve students published both the Tenderfoot and Le Resume'. All students put more into writing stories and photography because of the small class. Regardless of the small class. Tenderfoot received high rat- ings and awards. These included a second place from Colorado Press Association; All American, NSPA; Gold and bronze medals, CHSPA; and First Places from Columbia Press Association. Le Resume’ received a second from the previous year and entered again this year. On the whole the class took several trips. A trip to Boulder which included classes for the students took place in Sept. In these classes students learned mostly about writing for the newspaper. A tour to KVRH was taken in Feb. so students could learn what the laws and ''hows” of radio broadcasting are. Editors, Dianna Counter and Cindy Wolverton went to Greely in June for a week. There they learned the basics of editing. 101 36 Windows Smashed; Students Not Blamed Students here were not involved in a window smashing spree at the high school May 6, when 18 large plate glass windows and 18 smaller colored glass windows in teachers offices were broken around the perimeter of the plaza. Five persons were apprehended by local law enforcement officers for investigation of the crime later the same day. Officers said the quick arrest was the result of good police work and some luck. They said they put together some other incidents which happened the night before, and with the school inci- dent, were able to make the arrest. After two preliminary appearances in District Court, another date of July 14 was set for hearing of motion and preliminary hearings. Two of the suspects were Jefre V. Reekres, 19 of Salida and Kent J. Christen, 19 of Monroe, Wise. The pair was released on bond. Two 17- year-old juveniles were released on bond while a third 17-year-old female juvenile was released to the custody of her parents. Charges filed by mid-May included felonious mischief and conspiracy to commit felonious mischief. Local officials said they felt the vandalism here was connected with the shooting out of a traffic light and a street light downtown later the same night. Early damage estimates ranged as high as $7,500, but repair work w . finally placed on a bid basis, and was completed for about $3,000. Administrative Assistant Bill Webb said he and superintendent Charles Melien believe the vandalism is the worst act of its kind which has been committed in their memory. Melein has been in Salida about 30 years. Both administrators cited other inci- dences of vandalism in recent years, but called it penny ante” compared with what happened to the windows of the school. Classes continued as usual that Tues- day, but students noticed some drafts in halls before school personnel patched windows with a mosaic of cardboard. Final repairs took several weeks to complete.

Insurance adjustors had not com- pleted investigation at this writing, but city officials said damage was heavy and tentatively estimated repair costs at $150,000 to $300,000. A natural gas leak at a connection to the main at I Street and US 50 appar- ently seeped gas along a drainage pipe to the pool building. Gas collected in a service tunnel on three sides of the pool. Fred Irvin, director of public works, said he believed the blast was touched off by an electrical short or a spark such as that caused by turning on a light switch. No one was injured in the explosion, though pool manager Robert Browning and three city employees were in the building at the time. Investigators said the pool itself appeared to be cracked and added that an accurate damage assessment could be several weeks in coming. Hidden damage to pipes and the building structure was feared by city officials. Police Chief Harry Cable indicated he did not believe the damage could be repaired before the summer swim- ming season began. Officials expressed relief that the pool was not filled with young people as it would have been in a few months. The pool was built in 1938 as a WPA project. Water is piped in from the Poncha Springs Hot Spring about five miles west of Salida. With the exception of a small num- ber of small pools, there is no large municipal swimming pool in Chaffee County closer than Chalk Creek north of town. The blast scattered huge chunks of five-Inch thick concrete across the pool from both sides and one end. A large crack in the pool can be seen at the left of the top left photo. Salida city council spent about $70,000 renno- vating and remodeling the pool about a year ago. The Tenderfoot photo above shows the newly remodeled pool a few days before work was com- pleted. The blast originated in the area just in front of the doorway at the left of the photo at the left. Gas trapped along three sides of the pool exploded under tons of concrete and reinforcing steel covering the access tunnel.

The senior class chose Jill Chavez, Karen Kurtz, Dani Long, and Molley Murphy as nomi- nees. Dani Long was voted queen by the student body and crowned at an assem- bly Oct. 11. The girls rode in the parade that went down ”F” street. At the homecoming game, Salida vs. St. Mary, flowers were presented to candidates. Dani Long, queen, received a necklace from team cap- tain Randy Myers during halftime cer- emonies.

Coaches and can- didates rode in the parade led by queen - Dani Long. Salida High's band marched along with SHS Pompon girls and other organizations. The annual bonfire was Fri. night after the snake dance. Weather was still beautiful.” Wood was donated and saved for weeks to make this bonfire one of the best. Townspeople gath- ered at the bonfire to help spark spirit before the homecoming game against St. Mary’s. Another victory came for Salida in the game which is known as the mudbowl. Snow, wind, and cold didn't keep Spartan fans away. St. Mary's took second in the Pikes Peak league and was expected to be a match for the Spartans. Water on the field and side- lines was ankle deep in places. Coffee sales were up. Cameras were flooded with melting slush, but a near capacity crowd did not seem to have dampened spirits. National Honor Society Celebrates 50th Anniversary National Honor Society (N.H.S.) is an organization consisting of Juniors who have a 3.5 average and Seniors with a 3.0 grade average. All mem- bers are voted in by the faculty. December 16, 1974 was the 50th Anniversary for N.H.S. To celebrate, the club had a spa- ghetti dinner fixed by officers and old members. Afterwards they attended the Senior induc- tion ceremony held at Salida High. The Junior induction cere- mony was held May 12 at Francers. Every third Thursday of every month the club meets and usu- ally has a guest speaker.

But as wheels of government began to turn more smoothly, Tenderfoot declared a quiet truce. Student Council sponsored one entirely new event this year - the Spring Carnival which the group hoped would become a tradition. Club and organizational support was medium, but students and townspeople turned out strongly in spite of bad weather. Those who attended, said they hoped the carnival would be continued. Council set the event as a means of making money for clubs and organiza- tions which were feeling the pinch of an inflated economy. Another major project was initiation of a mental health day for upperclass- men. The clinic was well received. Representatives of West Central Mental Health Clinic and local para-profes- sionals provided manpower. Student Council was a strong sup- porter of the proposed $2.2 million bond election for a new middle school. Voters defeated the issue more than two to one, but council members felt- as school board members - the issue should be put to a vote again as promptly as possible. Other activities council was involved in included Homecoming, Fifties Dance, Halloween hand-outs for kids, tree planting, revamped stu- dent primary and general elections, Winter Sports Dance Decorations, and the traditional freshman initiation week.

His opponent, Bill (Butch) Lotshaw, will serve as vice president for the coming school year. The president and vice president were placed on the general ballot fol- lowing the primary election held April 29. The primary election method of selecting candidates was initiated this year by President Dave Scanga. Other candidates who threw their hats in the primary ring included Rusty Granzella, Laurie Smith, Laurine Smith, and Tami Ashley. Smith's campaign indicates he hopes to work better with students and teach- ers in the next year. He hopes to find a place to serve as a student center.

The longest of the three was the spring awards presenta- tion which lasted about 20 min- utes after the bell releasing stu- dents to go home had sounded. The first two award presenta- tions were primarily for athletic awards, although International Relations Club awards were pre- sented at the winter assembly. The spring assembly saw stu- dents in academic areas receive most of the awards, though track, both boys and girls, also received honors. Local services and business organizations also presented annual recognitions and schol- arships . ns Upper left: Twins Jody and Jill McCormick receive accounting awards from business teacher Donna McClure.

The flag and certificate were pre- sented by Joe R. Albi, regional direc- tor of the American Centennial-Bicen- tennial administration from Denver and John L. Schambow, committee coordinator of the Colorado Centen- nial-Bicentennial commission, also from Denver. Salida High School's connection with the activities for next year includes helping collect a library of Colorado History and an work which students have produced themselves. The project will include work by both junior and senior high school pupils. The project is under the direction of school superintendent Charles Melien. The award was presented at a bas- ketball game to recognize Salida for its help in making Chaffee County a Bi-centennial area. Special courses including Colorado History and Revolutionary war history were planned for next year. 118 Lefi page: Receiving the Centennial-Bicentennial certificate and Bicentennial plaque in the Salida High School Gymnasium are local C-BC committee members: Don Green.

Million Bond For Middle School Voters here apparently did not agree that the school district needed $2.2 million in bonds for construction of a new middle school when they defeated the question May 20 by a margin of more than 2 to 1. More than 65 percent of 3,120 registered voters in district R-32-J came to the polls and voted 604 in favor and 2,055 against. School officials, students, and a minority of citizens, registered shock and disappointment at the resounding defeat. Opposition to the issue was not centered on one specific item, but on several. A major consideration of persons opposed to the middle school was the location which they termed a swamp in spite of the fact three independent engineering firms certified the site sound for building. Vague accusations concerning payola and rake-offs” were proved inaccurate, but appar- ently left their marks on some voters. One school board mem- ber said he felt the people of Salida simply did not want to pay for improved education in Salida. Passage of the bonds would have required a tax increase of about 4 mills, which would still leave Salida with a total school levy far below the state or area average. At press time, officials were uncertain what the next step should be. They agreed, how- ever, some type of temporary measures to eliminate over- crowding in all three district schools would have to be taken. Space also had to be found for educationally handicapped classes required by recent legis- lation .

Seniors Build Backdrop We’ve taken the first step was the theme for senior backdrop this year. Students worked the week before Bac- calaureate to.complete the work. The background was yellow with a bold blue 1975. Inside the 19 and 75 was a circle with a ladder going through into the clouds. ‘ Motto for the class was You build the ladder of which you climb. Class colors were blue and yellow and the daisy was the class flower. Vocal music for graduation was provided by the undergraduate choir as they sang You'll never walk Alone by Rogers; and Kelly O’Connor and Glen Post sang The Long and Winding Road. Graduates this year kept caps, well as tassels.

Baccalaureate ceremonies were held May 25. Graduation speaker was L. Richard Bratton, President of Trustees of State Colleges. Bratton as a 1950 graduate of Sal- dia High School and is a lawyer in Gunnison. Ceremonies began with the processional, theme from Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar, played by underclass members of the Salida concert band under the baton of Arlin Buller. David Scanga, student body president, delivered the invo- cation . Mary Cortese was moderator and Chris Gibbs led recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Lonnie Adams introduced the speaker. After Bratton spoke, Shannon Arnold announced the names of graduates as Dr. Wendell Hutchinson, president fo the school board, and Glenn Everett, board member, handed out diplomas. Theresa Lucero accepted diplomas on behalf of the gradu- ates. Andrea Sustrich presented scholarships and awards. Principal John Ophus recognized top honor students and Superintendent Charles Melien presented special awards. Greg Mehos delivered the benediction. Seniors questioned about plans after the ceremony gave answers which ranged from, Well, I’m going to Colorado University, to I put my application in at Climax yester- day. Although not all seniors had definite ideas on what they would do when they were out of school, many expressed a sentimental feeling toward Salida High, some said they are sad to leave, while others said they were glad.

Answering questions and convincing the community that a new middle school is badly needed, brought about problems during the school year. Main plans for the school were made, leaving the rest to the community people. Voters cast their votes May 20. Results of the vote were not known at Le Resume’ deadline. A new addition to the admin- istration was vice-principal Jim Ragan. Ragan took care of dis- cipline problems and is also a teacher in the math depart- ment. He is also sponsor of Stu- dent Council. Administrators negotiated with Student Council to decide on an appropriate dress code. Halters and muscle shirts are not to be worn to school. Three new teachers were hired for the 1975-76 school year.

Larson Senior year is a lime to earn final credits, enjoy free time, and feel sorrow when something doesn't go as planned. On these pages a portrait of all is shown. Opposite page, left: Lisa Gentile grades papers for Mrs. Donna McClure’s typing classes. Many seniors received credits as lab assistant for a teacher. Running errands, typing and doing odd jobs as lab assistant earned seniors one credit a year. Too much leisure time for seniors is a com- plaint heard by teachers. Lee Graf on the oppo- site page, right: makes use of his leisure time at the desk of principal John Ophus. Chris Gibbs was one of the seniors destined for bad luck. At the heat of football season Gibbs broke his ankle. He recovered soon enough to play in the finals. Again during basketball season Gibbs was on crutches. Gibbs usually started for the Spartans - when he was able. Dani Marie Long Don Long James Long Theresa Ann Lucero Auggie L. Madrid Brenda Kay Marquis Henry L. Matthies Kenneth L.

Juniors kept busy during the 1974-75 year by selling maga- zine subscriptions. Juniors went house-house and took orders. Class members who sold over twenty-five dollars worth of magazines went'to the Pizza Hut for a party. One dollar was charged to each student, allowing him to eat pizza and salad. QSP, the company who handles the magazines spon- sored the pizza party. Profits of the magazine sales amounted to $561.23. Concession stands were run by the Juniors during the Football season. Sweets, hot dogs and cokes sold to fans brought additional money. Most of the funds went to the annual Junior-Senior Prom, sponsored by the juniors. 145 Juniors Mike Kwiek Mike Lara David Larcom Don Leewaye Ron Leewaye Ban Leonard!

The Freshman class proved itself by enduring the various orientation proce- dures, in the form of grease make-up as girls, red pepper flavored carrot slices, and baby food, administered by the senior class during initiation this year. Freshmen, however, did not wait until their senior year for revenge. They got ahold of a water sprinkler. Earlier, the sprinkler had been pulled through singing freshmen by a not-to-be-named-here upper classman. The ever popular We love you Seniors” bubbled into shreaks before the water supply was shut off. A few seniors as well as some bystanders, received a thorough dousing. 153 Freshmen Carolina Guccione Mirella Guccione Terri Hamel Mary Hairick Lillie Havens Markus Hendewerk Randy Hewitt Debbie High Vaughn High Kathy Hollenbeck Julie Huffman Susan Huntington Edward Jacobs Karen Jacoby Alan Johnson Richard Kelly Martin Kenick Suzanne Kreller John Kweik Patti Lamberg Jim Larcom John Leak Billy Leewaye Tina Leewaye Joyce Leyba Kathy Lipscomb Dave Long Joe Lopez Jerry Maestas Manuel Maestas Martin Maltas Bill Mansheim Cindy Martellaro Dean Martellaro Christina Martin Marilyn Matthies Keith Mazza Harold Medina James Miller David Mingus Karen Mitchell Kun Mitchell 154 Freshmen Jerry Molaskey Danny Morris Lisa Morris Wynn Myers Tim McFarland Bob McQuitty Jan Nay Joel Neises Katie Orr Dianna Packard Sandy Passarelli Sheila Passarelli Karla Pollard Connie Porsche Ron Prewitt Annette Pugh Jan Reno Andrea Roley Danny Royball Laura Rupp Benny Sabin Debbie Salazar Jennifer Salemo Arlene Slrokman Penny Jo Smith Steve Smith Ann Sparling Berry Spence John Spezze Racinda Stuard Brenda Swisher Deniece Taylor Cindy Toole John Valdez Karen Vawser Annette Vigil 155 Cheerleaders Learn Motions At Summer Camp Varsity cheerleaders began practice during the summer. For the first time they attended a summer camp to learn new cheers and motions. To pay for their new uniforms they sold shakers. The girls also sponsored a few get-togethers. Graduates of 1974, Greg Dameron and Kevin O'Conner sang at one of the get-togethers. The J. V. cheerleaders aroused spirit along with the varsity cheerleaders at Pep Assemblies. Both groups of girls made posters during the seasons. The twirlers were another main attraction. Annual routines were per- formed by the girls at games. The rou- tines were performed to music of Salida High's Band. Top, Varsity cheerleaders: Karen Kurtz, sr.; Beth Hergert, jr; Dani Long.

Meet the Gang After Each Game (or Other Event) at Salida's Newest In Place School Year Ends With Brighter Outlook As we finish the last pages of Le Resume, it seems that our high school years are eclipsing as the moon did May 24. Like the moon, we will emerge from the shadows of graduation with a shining new face. We can only hope that we are ready to face the world and its daily prob- lems. National events of the past year can be compared to an eclipse also. We were in the shadow of corruption and war. The Mayaguez incident may be an indication the United States is moving from that shadow . Such actions that arose throughout the year included the resignation of President Nixon and Watergate, an increasing and seemingly never ending inflation, ris- ing gasoline prices and the continuing energy shortage. That leaves many unanswered questions. Some of the questions that always arise are Who is to blame? ’ And, 'How long will this go on? As we take our first step, we may be able to solve some of the problems. Overriding our hardships are the good memories we have shared. Our football team took state, Salida was named a Centennial-Bicentennial city and the United States put its foot down and rescued the Mayaguez, the staff of 75 finished Le Resume and our business manager finally finished the ad pages. Tenderfoot was rated with the tojf three papers in the Nation in its Columbia Scholastic Press Association classification. As the year ends and our book is finished, I would like to express appreciation to those who helped work on Le Resume. Snyder Portraits is thanked for spending so much time perfecting each picture. Mike Neises deserved a thank you for devoting so much time to taking about 90% of the pictures in Le Resume. A special thanks to Jane Canterbury for typing copy and gathering information. Jane received no class credit for her work. To An Dixon, our advisor, thank you for the leadership and time, (your denials, constant griping, and cursing can all be forgotten). Cindy Wolvenon mmm MBI
