Life During Our 101st Life in the Heart of the Rockies - Our first Bicentennial year is the theme of the 1977 Le Resume. Sections of the book show life at Salida High School during Colorado's 101st year. Pages are designed to record activities as they happened during this first of our state’s second 100 years. Yearning for Learning tells of academics provided here to aid students in their quest for knowledge. Muscle and Hustle” depicts athletic programs offered as accompaniment to academic programs, while Seasoning for Reasoning gives a view of extra-curricular activities that increased opportunities for understanding life. We and Me shows the peo- ple of 1977. The album, organ- izational, and administrative photos are included here. Also included here is the first index which has appeared in a Le Resume in four years. Two previously separate sec- tions of the book are combined to form Advertising and Off Campus Learning. The joining of the sections not only makes the advertising more attractive and more accessible for the reader, it promotes patronage of local businesses, which, after all, are a part of student life. Graphics and layout of the cover are new and it is the first time since 1964 that color pho- tos have been used on the cover. One of the pictures, the win- ter cabin, is repeated in black and white, in another season, on the last division page, help- ing carry out the theme. 1977 is a year of realization for Americans and the energy crisis became more evident than ever. President Jimmy Carter made public appeals to cut down energy waste and mis- use. Drought in the west and mid- west is a foreboding possibility after a lack of snow lowered water reserve levels. A dry summer is predicted with an accordingly low crop yield as a result. In Salida, drought effects were felt through the winter as skiing at Monarch Ski Area 18 miles west slumped, with a resulting loss of tourists through town here. 1976 was an election year and Democrat Jimmy Carter, run- ning with an appeal to the grass-roots voters, defeated incumbent Jerry Ford - the first American President to hold office without being elected. Locally, approval was given by the City Council to rebuild Salida Hot Springs Swimming Pool which a gas explosion destroyed in Feb. 1975. Esti- mated cost of the project was $109,654 bid by Flatland Cus- tom Pools of Castle Rock. Construction began in November and was completed by mid-May. An addition to Kesner Jr. High was given planning approval by the School Board. If approved for construction the three room addition will house home economics and science laboratories which will help relieve overcrowding in both schools. Estimated cost of the Project is $300,000. Mt. Shavano. on the front cover, boasts the famous ’ Angel of Shavano snow formation named in local Indian Legend. The cabin in the snow on the back cover located on Marshall Pass about 13 miles southwest of Salida. and the sun- rise at Poncha Springs Cemetery 5 miles west of Salida were photographed by Lisa Hutchinson who also shot the endsheet photo of the nonhem shoulder of Mr. Shavano and division pages 4. 5 and 126, 127. Photos on pages 32, 33 and 74, 75 were taken by freshman Jeff Cruzan. Norman Prewitt, rappelling in the photo at left, engages in an activity which is growing in 3 interest with a number of students here.
