Salida High School - Resume Yearbook (Salida, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1978 volume:

Le Resume is an annual publication of Salida High School. P.O. Box 70, Salida. Colorado 81201 Volume VI Le Resume 78 Changes Influence Attitudes “The Year of Changes” theme seemed to be appropriate in summing 1978 and we felt that primordiality or the state of being or happening first in sequence of time was an apt description. The major change, construc- tion of an addition to Kesner Jr. High, began in August. Because of building work students could not use the plaza entrances to the Jr. High or High School. It also disturbed the teachers’ parking lot and caused a change in the parking patterns for stu- dents. The school switched to the use of a computer hoping to make records of grades and attend- ance more accurate and easier to maintain. The switch proved quite a challenge for the office staff, and even though there was controversy concerning compu- terization, Principal John Ophus believed it was the right thing to .do. Although office personnel faced a lot of hard work with the computer, it became easier after the high school office was remodeled during the Christmas vacation. In January, a new intercom system was installed in the Jr. High and High School, making announcements understandable for the first time in years. Another change, although not as complex, was the introduction of swimming to the physical edu- cation curriculum. Both boys’ and girls’ P.E. classes spent three weeks swimming at Salida Hot Springs Pool. Mental changes accompanied physical changes, with seniors preparing themselves for what they will face in their future. Freshmen, also, had to develop new attitudes to adjust to their first year of high school. Each of us probably had a dif- ferent view on the changes but even so, we have all learned from the transitions and will continue to move forward with them, knowing that things won’t always be the same. Below, Administrative Assist- ant Bill Webb and Superintend- ent Charles Melien inspect the second story ramp which con- nects the Jr. High and High School, contemplating the out- come of the addition.

In August, Butala Construc- tion workers began the addition to Kesner Jr. High which 'includes a home economics room, science lab, and special 'education area, along with the state required ramp to the sec- ond floor and an overpass to the high school. Construction had the jr. high building in havoc for a couple of months. Students learned to carry on classes with the roar of machinery in the background, and the high school home ec. room and darkroom were dis- turbed by having walls removed and windows blocked up. This picture was taken in Sep- tember, about five weeks after construction began. Activities at Salida High are always original. Even though some events take place year after year, such as Homecoming or Spirit Week, each year is differ-' ent and full of changing expres- sions, faces, and feelings. Freshmen Get Gonged By Seniors Traditional Freshmen Initia- tion was held Friday, Sept. 23. On Thursday, the Seniors crowded around the bulletin board, to sign for their selected Freshmen. The ceremony was reduced from the usual 3 days to 1 day. Two main reasons for the reduc- tion were that some seniors tend to get a little carried away, and that the event disturbed classes. “When we were Freshmen we survived three days of it, why can’t they?” said Dave Mingus. On the other side of the fence, some Seniors said they liked this year’s initiation because it was fun, just as torturous, and was original. Naturally a number of Freshmen felt this year's one day escapade was better than the longer initiation of past years. Freshmen boys came to school dressed in skirts, bathing suits, diapers, tu-tus, and wom- en’s undergarments. The girls’ attire varied from hula skirts, pajamas and diapers, to playboy bunny costumes and three peas in a pod. Traditional outside activities, such as the peanut race, tricycle race, and group sing-alongs, were replaced by the 1977-78 Initiation Gong Show. It was held in the auditorium during lunch, Friday. Announcer and judges were Cindy Martellaro, Kathy Hol- lenbeck, Lisa Chavez and Bill Mansheim. Other Senior class members presented awards. The Freshmen staged acts, but if the judges gonged them, they received a whipped cream pie in the face. Few Freshmen escaped the gong, but those who did also received a pie in the face for their efforts. Jackie, Frantz commented, “I didn’t mind it so bad. I thought it was pretty fun.” As always, on the following Saturday night, the Freshmen Welcome Dance was held in rooms 1 and 2. The dance, which lasted from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., cost $1 stag, $1.50 per cou- ple. and Freshmen were admit- ted free. The music was reel-to- reel tape and had a good variety consisting of rock, disco and mellow music. A Freshman commented, “The dance was a lot different from junior high dances, a lot more fun.” Senior Tim Ashley, ai top. awards freshman on his freshman Mike Hoeschen after the Gong Scot!

Originality — Initiation 7 Rangers Don't 'Bear' A Chance Preparations for Homecoming began Monday, Oct. 3, when each class began construction of its float with an allowance of $25 for materials. An assembly on Friday, Oct. 7 began annual Homecoming fes- tivities. The student body voted Cindy Martellaro to reign over the weekend activities and the senior class chose Rochelle Beauchamp, Susan Huntington and Kathy Hollenbeck as other candidates. The Homecoming Parade started its journey down “F” Street a short time after the con- clusion of the assembly. The sophomore class had the win- ning float with the theme “Rang- ers Don’t Bear a Chance.” A prize of $25 was awarded to sophomores by Student Council. F.B.L.A. took first place honors in the club division with the theme “Ranger Ambulance Service.” The group won the $10 prize offered by Student Coun- cil. The traditional pep rally and snake dance were held Friday evening. The pep rally, held at 2nd and “F” Streets, began at 7:30 p.m. with the Snake Dance startinjg at 7:45 p.m. leading to the High School. The bonfire, sponsored by “S” Club, was lit and rapidly fried the Ranger dummy. On Saturday, at the football game against the Lewis Palmer “Rangers,” the crowd proved that the excitement was far from over. The Spartan victory added a special touch to 1977 Home- coming. The final activity of the week- end was the Homecoming Dance which began at 9 p.m. and ended at midnight. Pep Club and Student Council plan- ned and decorated for the dance. The theme, “Stairway to Heaven,” set the mood. The crowd danced to music of “Fly- ing Wedge” from Colorado Springs. “They played a good variety of songs, but I liked the Beatles selections the best,” said Junior Kirby O’Connor. 8 Originality — Homecoming Queen candidate Kathy Hollenbeck, at left. rides in the parade with candidate Rochelle Beauchamp.

Originality — Homecoming 9 Original Meaning Is Forgotten The original meaning of Homecoming is often forgotten. Homecoming is defined as the return of a group of people on a special occasion to a place for- merly frequented. Homecoming at Salida High School was created so that alumni could come back to watch the football game, go to the dance, and most of all to renew old friendships. Homecoming now is centered around students presently in high school. When asked about the original meaning of Home- coming, one student com- mented, “It’s when we make floats for the parade, we pick a queen, and we have a snake dance and bonfire.” When asked why all this was done, the response was, “to cele- brate the football game.” Most of the alumni that returned for Homecoming were students who graduated in 1976 and 1977. Although older alumni living in Salida turned out for the football game, few alumni living out of town returned. Approximately one-third of the 1977 class is presently attending a four year college, one-third is working, and the remaining third is either attend- ing trade school, married or looking for work. 10 Originality — Homecoming DeeDee Kaess. opposite page, watches as Rose Nance adds decor to the winning sophomore float, which was built at Salida Wholesale.

Originality — Homecoming 11 Inactivity Plagues Pep Club Pep Club this year was an inac- tive organization compared to years before. The girls said they spent most their money on decora- tions for Homecoming and when it came around to Winter Sports Dance time. Pep Club had to bor- row money from Student Council to keep the tradition alive. In the past. Student Council paid for the Homecoming band while Pep Club provided decora- tions and cleanup. The responsibil- ity switched, then, for Winter Sports, except that the Pep Club treasury this year contained only $64. To repay Student Council for $225 dollars borrowed. Pep Club had to raise dues and assess each member an additional dollar. Kathy Becker and Carol Slaugh- ter, new sponsors, explained the reason for such a small amount of money was that few students were involved in the club this year and that most of the decrease in inter- est came as football season waned. 12 Originaltity — Pep Club Amy Wheatly and Joan Scott, opposite top. paint score box for football at a pep club poster meeting, held on Monday nights after school.

Woodland Park and Buena Vista High School. Included in this concert was a performance by “Blue Steel,” the United States Air Force jazz band. The Spartan band partici- pated in the Arkansas Valley Jazz Festival May 5 at Pueblo. Director James Keezer, com- mented, “The marching band was a hard working group that took its music seriously. Rehearsal was enjoyable to me since members took direction well and showed continual prog- ress. “Jazz band had a lot of talent. Because of that we were able to perform harder music of differ- ent styles.” Crystal Finley, a flag girl, said, “The marching band class was hardest during football season, but it was also more fun because we got to work outside.” 16 Originality—Band Salida marching band performs during half- time at a home game, opposite.

An uneasy tension grows among students waiting for the bell to ring when they’ll be free for lunch hour . . . The bell sounds. Students rush out. They’re free until fifth hour, but none think of that. It’s food they want — it’s food they’ll get. Some hurry to the school cafete- ria to get grub while others rush for a homecooked meal. Some want to cruise “F” St. so it’s off to the Sonic or A W for some fast food and time left over. Some beeline to the Spar- tan Inn for food and fun playing pool and pinball. Lunch in the cafeteria ends with 20-30 minutes left before class. Students who need to fin- ish work or want to sit and talk usually go to the library or stu- dent center. The field house offers recrea- tion in basketball and handball after 1:05 p.m. Juniors and Seniors congre- gate in the corridors by the cafe- teria tripping students or remarking about them as they pass by. The favorite spot for necking is by the Music Room. The ringing of the bell breaks the excitement and principal John Ophus walks out to remind students not to be late to fifth hour classes. Thus ends the spell of noon hour.

Main characters were Kort Oyler. Captain Bluntschli; and Kathy Opnus. Raina. The story revolved around Capt. Bluntschli, who was escap- ing from a disastrous defeat. He took refuge in the house of the Colonel, who was in the army and was father of Raina. After the war he returns a suit he used in his eventual escape. Happiness is at last found between Capt. Bluntschli and Raina. Other cast members were Tonya Elmer, Katherine; Laura Stephenson, Louka; Norman Prewitt, Officer; James Knicker- bocker, Nicholas; Mike Castel- lucci, the Colonel; and Mike Lewis, the Major. Charles Poncelow sponsor, said, “The students involved in dramatics at Salida are enthusi- astic, talented, and hard work- ing. They worked together to take responsibility for the less glamorous aspects of a produc- tion.” Jeff Seul said, “I have learned a lot, I got a lot out of it, and I really like the Poncelows, because they make it more inter- esting and they brought in a lot of ideas.” Norman Prewitt said, “I think the Poncelows are the best coaches we have had since 1 have been in drama. It is more exciting this year.” The Poncelows previously coached drama in Fairplay before coming to Salida. Tonya Elmer. Mike Castellucci. and Mike Lewis.

Originality — Drama 21 Madame Galarde Gets Murdered Murder-Go-Round, a three act play by Jay Christopher, was staged May 13 in the auditorium and was the last presentation of the year for Drama Club members. The cast included five men and three women. The setting was in a Parisian apartment house where every resident was suspected of murdering Madame Galarde. Everyone admitted to hating the victim. Lead actor in the presentation was Mike Lewis, who portrayed Inspector Vidsquelin. a detective. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsmith. an eld- erly couple, was played by Nor- man Prewitt and Sally Loften: Robert Thorn was played by Mike Castellucci, while Marianne Bow- ers played Madeline Sands, a sculptor. Edward Tarry, a playwright, was portrayed by Rod Lucero. Kathy Ophus played Henrietta Nesbitt, an actress, and Parker Beasley was played by Jim Knickerbocker. Chuck and Marcy Poncelow. co- sponsors of the club, said that the humorous dialogue added a lot to the mystery. Sponsors added that suspense mounted when the lights went out at the party held by Miss Nesbitt. The party was attended by all six suspects and a knife was thrown. Poncelows said, “It was an enjoyable, but challenging year. The crowds were tremendous and it was really gratifying to have stu- dents as well as adults come out and support us the way they did this past year.” Beth Blackwell, a Drama Club member said. “I think the Ponce- lows did a lot for the club and we had a better selection of plays this year.” 22 Originality — Drama Edward Tarn.

Doom Is Art Club Creation “I am the Doom” was a famil- iar cry during the pep assemblies this year. Thanks to the Art club. Salida’s Purple Doom mascot came to life. The Club created doom 3 years ago for a football poster. He became so popular, he became a tradition through the years. The doom has been printed on shirts and Spartan pins. When the “Grape Crush” defense came about, the art club developed it with the doom. Last year Art Club was dis- banded because of lack of inter- est, but this year bounced back with more enthusiasm than ever. Club members said that most of the enthusiasm is due to the leadership of Art Club sponsor Rod Farney. Farney has contributed much time and effort to the Art Club. The club has given two disco dances, the only dances of the year given by clubs. The first was given before Christmas vacation and included black light posters of reindeer and Santa Claus. High- light of the dance was when Santa himself appeared and handed out presents ranging from a sea-shell necklace to a can of deodorant. The second dance was held in January after a basketball game. It was in a “Jungle” setting that consisted of black light posters depicting jungle creatures and volcanoes. A prize was presented to Rita Klockenbrinck for the wildest hat and to Mary Shaw for the zaniest pair of socks, both are freshmen at Salida High.

Tuesday was “Pop Em Day” and “Behind it all, Spartans are the Best.” Students wore and popped balloons all day, and wore sunglasses. Wednesday was “No One Can Match the Spartans Day” and students wore mis-matched col- ors and clothes. Thursday, famous stars of the 70’s and earlier crowded the halls on the “Spartans are Superstars Day.” Also on Thursday Pep Club chose candidates for Mr. and Miss Spirit. The nominees were seniors John Gimple and Racinda Stuard: juniors Pete Guccione and Debbie Theoto- katos; sophomores Randy Kapushion and Renee Piper; and freshmen Scott Breunich and Louise Leo. Friday was traditional “50’s Day” with an abundance of lipstick, hair grease and leather jackets. Controversy arose Friday when the traditional Spirit Week assembly was changed. In previ- ous Spirit Week assemblies an overall Mr. and Miss Spirit were chosen and prizes were pre- sented to the best dressed of each day. This year the assembly was cut down to 15 minutes with just enough time to mention the nominees for Mr. and Miss Spirit and a few cheers. Reason for a short assembly was that wrestlers had to leave early to go to a tournament in Buena Vista.

On one such march, the federal government removed thousands of Indians, some in chains, from their homes to Oklahoma on a trip marked by hunger, disease, and death. The Indians named it the “Trail of Tears.” A group of about 150 American Indians, representing about 80 tribes and ranging in age from 4 months to 65 years, spent three nights in Salida Mar. 17, 18. 19 as they paused on a walk of a different kind. The Longest Walk began in Feb- ruary at Alcatraz, Calif., when 50 Indians, bearing a sacred Peace Pipe began the 4.000 mile journey to Washington. D.C. on foot. David Hill, a Choctaw and member of the National Native American Coali- tion and the Society for the Survival of Native Americans, explained that the purpose of the walk was to protest passage of about 11 U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Bills. Hill said that passage of the bills would seriously infringe on the nghts of Indians and that at least one of the bills would restrict the rights of all people. We indicated that Indians believe much of the legislation stems from large energy production companies which want use of the land now held by Indians. The Longest Walk. Hill said, will help people of America to better understand the Indian and his plight. Many of the Indians who David Hill, a Choctaw, was advance man for the walking Indians. He went ahead of the group mak- ing arrangements for overnight stays and speaking to school classes. On the few occasions when walkers were forced to take to vehicles, the Ceremonial Peace Pipe was car- ried ahead by runners. At other times, the Pipe was carried by a variety of persons, including women. Hill explained. Only a war pipe is carried by the men only. Because of the spiritual nature of the walk, every- one will carry the pipe. 32 Originality—Indians •m stayed in Larimer Gymnasium here said the trek is helping them to bet- ter understand themselves also. As Advance spokesman for the group. Hill spoke to some high school students here. His talk dealt with the life style of the American Indian. The Sacred Peace Pipe, previ- ously loaded with ceremonial tobacco, was being run ahead of the group for a special meeting with President Jimmy Carter. Hill quip- ped. “Contrary to popular belief, the Peace Pipe is not loaded with marijuana.” Another Walker said. “The pipe is filled not with hate for the people who run this country, but with a prayer for understanding and a prayer for guidance.” Vernon Bellcort. another Longest Walk spokesman, emphasized that the walk is spiritual in nature, and added that the Indians prefer to call their endeavor a Walk rather than a march. He explained. “A March sometimes has a military connota- tion.” Hill said that walk leaders hope to have about 30.000 people when they arrive in Washington about July 6. An upside down flag was painted on the side of the only Longest Walk bus. Proper flag etiquette states that (he flag should never be displayed with the union down except as a signal of dire distress. Longest Walk members walked most of the way. but took to vehicles to travel the narrow Arkansas River Canyon between Salida and Canon City. Attitudes around Salida toward the guests were mostly supportive. Many persons offered food, cloth- ing. medicines and services during the Indian stay in the school. One Salidan commented, The Indian should have just as many rights as anyone else does and I hope they are able to prove their point.” Hill spoke at several civic gather- ings in town, and as he concluded each, he added. “As we pray for our people and our families, we also pray for yours, and we hope you will include us in your prayers. When walkers were ready to begin their trek over Monarch Pass west of here, they said the weather did not bother them “Mother Nature is the friend of the Indian” — and she was.

The league has consisted of six to eight teams each year. This year’s league was made up of six tough teams; The Asso- ciates. Minit Market. The Enfor- cers, Salida Independents., Main Bar, and Salida United. Already in their third year in the league. United is made up of high schoolers and recent gradu- ates.

Legion Offers A Closer Look At The Government Girls’ and Boys’ State pro- vided the opportunity for 12 Salida students to get a better look at the way the Federal gov- ernment operates. Students are selected from the top-third of the junior class. State activities were held June 12-17 and Girls Staters met at the University of Colorado cam- pus at Boulder, while the boys gathered at the Colorado State University campus in Fort Col- lins. The American Legion Post sponsors the boys and the Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary sponsors the girls. In order for a girl to be eligible for Girls' State they wrote an essay on why they would like to be delegates. Individual inter- views completed the selection process. The delegates were Kel- lie McQueen, Elaine Perea, and Janice Veltri. Boys were interviewed and were choosen on that basis. They were Brad Franklin, Jerry Gar- dunio. Jim Gentile, Steve How- erton, Marion Hyder, Mike Luchetta, Curtiss Martinez, Don Ours, and Jim Treat. Five alternates were chosen, to take the place of any staters who might not be able to go. They were Mike Castellucci, Dianne Cook, Scott Gibbs, Wendi Maichel, and Kathy Ophus. 36 Originality — Girls’ and Boys’ State Originality — Girls’ and Boys’ State 37 Thick groves of Aspen in Ihe high country Late afternoon shadows creep slowly up the northeast of Salida started changing from soft trunks of these trees near the crest of Aspen green to wild yellow and oranges during autumn.

The bell for first hour starts a rampage with grabbing of books, slamming of lockers and racing for classes. Breaks between classes allow students enough time to give the pop and candy machines a workout. When the last bell of the day sounds, the halls are vacated at an amazing speed.

In his campaign speech, Aus- bun told electors “I want to work for better student involve- ment in school government and would like to raise school spirit higher than it has been in the last few years.” Ausbun will replace Student Body President Tim Albers, who said “1 accomplished pretty much of what I wanted to. how- ever, one of my qualms is that student spirit wasn't what I felt it should have been.” He contin- ued, “Overall it was a good Originality — Student Council Elections 41 Starry Eyes Come Sail Away Juniors and seniors went to “Come Sail Away” at 9 p.m.. May 6 at the Salida Elks Lodge when the annual Prom, sponsored by the juniors, capped almost a full year of preparation and money raising. As Prom preparations began this year, juniors worked with about $3,000 which class members raised by serving at an Elks banquet and selling candy and fruitcakes. The class got a headstart on its fund raising last year when several members served as waitresses and waiters for the Elks and earned about $350. An additional $2,650 was acquired through candy and fruit- cake sales and from concessions sponsored by the class. Prom committees began meeting Apr. 4. though the event was in the minds of many students much ear- lier. The actual decoration was fin- ished the week previous to May 6. Music was provided by “Aba- cus,” a band from Colorado Springs, and cost was almost one third of their budget or $1,000. Highlighting the evening was the traditional crowning of the Prom King and Queen. Named to the position were Patti Lamberg and Mike Bonderant. Favors were pic- tures taken by Snyder Portraits of Canon City and Salida. An early Sunday morning break- fast sponsored, prepared, and served by parents of juniors, fol- lowed the dance. Juniors chose the theme “Come Sail Away” and selected sea- scaped and star-flaked paper, star- flaked streamers, a water fountain, a bridge, a dock effect, a sail, and fish nets as decorations. Four boys and four girls were picked from the sophomore class to serve at the Prom. Server Randy Kapushion. top. crowns Palti Lamberg Prom Queen. Miss Lamberg and her escort.

Originality — Senior Roster 45 Grads Prepare For Finale On graduation night, as every- one observed the ceremony, they probably didn't realize the amount of preparation that was involved. As early as the beginning of the year, seniors were deciding on how many and what kind of announcements to get and ordering their caps and gowns. Things settled down until it came time to choose the theme (which included a backdrop and song). Several students displayed their ideas and after having to vote twice because’of lack of interest, the theme “Reflections of Tomorrow” was chosen. Since Martin Maltas and Cindy Martellaro had designed the drawing chosen, it was up to them to create the second half of the theme — a song entitled “Reflections of Tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Randy Hewitt and Keith Mazza began devel- oping the drawing into a paint- ing for the backdrop. Controversy arose when sen- iors chose their class flower and colors. No one wanted the same thing, and even though they finally reached a decision, not everyone was satisfied with it. One senior commented. I think the roses are alright, but 1 just don't think peach and blue go together. Although Senior Class Spon- sors Jane Melien, Jim Ragan, and Tom Breunich were involved in planning all year, the real work for them began about three weeks before graduation. At that time, they had to make final arrangements with the speaker, establish which seniors would take part in the ceremony and work with them on their speeches, and organize the print- ing of the programs. Finally during the week before graduation, the backdrop was put together and the final practices were held. All these things combined to make the graduation ceremony successful. 46 Originality — Graduation Several seniors, oppositepa%e. stuff napkins into the backdrop. It took sen- iors about three days the week prior of graduation to complete the job. Cindy Ferraro, top left, stops to take a rose during the ceremony reces- sional.

Both ceremonies were at 8 p.m. in Andreas Field House. The Rev. John Forman of the United Methodist Church here delivered the main address at Baccaluareate services Sunday and Father Gerald Bruggeman of St. Joseph Catholic Church offered the invocation. Announcer for the radio audi- ence was Tim Ashley, while Marks New Mary Hatrick provided the scripture reading. Music of Baccalaureate con- sisted of two songs performed by Theresa Bradbury, Mirella Guc- cione. Debbie Avila, and Rose Gentile; a clarinet solo by Julie Huffman and a flute solo by Ann Sparling. At graduation ceremonies Thursday night. Miss Kathy Hollenbeck delivered the invo- cation, Tim Albers served as moderator, and Miss Lisa Cha- vez lead the Pledge of Alle- giance. Keith Mazza introduced the speaker, Charles Melien. Beginnings Miss Cindy Martellaro announced names of graduates who advanced to receive their diplomas from school board members Stanley Provenza and Rev. Alvin Edlund. Miss Ann Sparling accepted the diplomas. John Oberrick presented schor- laships and awards, and Randy Hewitt offered the Benediction. The Salida High School Underclass Band furnished the music for the processional and recessional. Jane Melien served as senior sponsor for many years and will retire at the end of this year.

Also killed in the tragic crash, were County Land Use Admin- istrator Dan Everett and his brother, George Everett, a prom- inent Salida rancher and a mem- ber of the Board of the South- eastern Water Conservancy Dis- trict. The veteran pilot of the Cessna 206, Anastsias “Del” Delecaris of Salida. and Thomas W. McCurty of Pueblo, Presi- dent of the Water District, were also killed in the crash. The plane had taken off from Harriet Alexander Field here at about 7:10 a.m., the passengers en-route to Cortez for a state Water Board meeting. It crashed, however, approxi- mately three minutes later, some four air miles from the field. The crash threw the county’s political process into chaos and Governor Richard Lamm’s ensuing appointments of Pat Schlatter and Mark Vanderpool to fill the vacancies on the board generated considerable debate. County Republicans had urged the Governor to appoint former county commissioner George Dominick to the board, urging that “politics be put aside.” R-32-J Accepts Handicap Programs Rangeview Center was in the news with an announcement in August that state-wide funding cuts would mean the end of the center’s programs for the men- tally handicapped here before year’s end. In October, however, a new governing board was set up for control of the adult programs in Salida and Canon City. New plans for the continuation were finalized and funded. School District R-32-J agreed to step in to take over responsi- bility for the programs for school aged children. Superintendent Charles Mel- ien explained that because 50 percent of the funding for the program will be provided by the state, actual cost will be much less than if an individual organi- zation took over. After completion of the build- ing, Rangeview students and their instructors were to con- tinue their operations in a por- tion of the addition. Melien commented, “We are responsible for the education of every student between the age of 5 and 21 and we intend to pro- vide them with the best educa- tion possible.” Downtown Auto Body 144 West First Street 539-4133 E-Z Way Store 1 Division Cliff Brice Stations 337 West First Street 539-6163 Fabric Bazaar 118 F Street 539-2329 Main Liquor Store 102 North F Street 539-2358 Ed's Upholstery 117 North F Street 539-4193 Salida Men's Shop 100 F Street 539-2244 Jim and Danette Bonga Band Box Cleaners 119 F Street 539-2426 God Be With You.

Council Time Capsule Entombed A special activity by Student Council was when it combined with Gunnison High and West- ern State College for a dancea- thon to raise money for Muscu- lar Dystrophy. Two Student Council members and 14 other S.H.S. students participated. Student Council encountered problems with Winter Sports Dance when co-sponsor Pep Club failed to come up with funds to pay for half the costs. Student Council had to pay for most of the expenses. Pep Club repaid the money and Student Council’s treasury was eventu- ally back to normal. The Student Council Bicen- tennial Time Capsule, prepared in 1977 and updated this fall, was dropped into a hollow in the outer wall of the ramp section of ihe Kesner Junior High School addition at 9:45 a.m., Oct. 6. The metal box is about 16 inches inside the wall which faces the plaza ramp and 5 feet west of the front corner of the wall. When the construction was completed a plaque was placed where the box was entombed. Among items included in the box was a 1975-76 Le Resume yearbook, 9 issues of Tenderfoot Times, a Colorado Centennial- Bicentennial Community flag, and a Colorado State flag. Student Council arranged a Thanksgiving assembly on Nov. 16. Slides and'poetry readings brought out the spirit of the occasion. Student Council organized and either sponsored or co-spon- sored Freshman Welcome, Homecoming, and Winter Sports Dances. Student Council and Chamber of Commerce brought the Air Force Falconeers to Salida to put on a performance Jan. 22. Teaming up with the Library Club a Spring Variety Show was planned, but had to be canceled. 54 Adaptability — Student Council Student Council President Tim Albers, and Superintendent Charles Melien, opposite page. assist construction foreman Tom Eve in placing the time capsule into a wall in the Jr. High.

Mrs. Donna McClure, teacher of the new class, said the main difference between speed- writing and shorthand is that speedwriting utilizes the alpha- bet whereas shorthand uses sym- bols for the words. Mrs. McClure said. “I believe it’s the hardest business class to learn.” During first semester, speed- writing students were taught the basics of developing speed. By writing the sounds they heard in a word, instead of writing a lot of unnecessary letters, the stu- dents used less time in writing business letters or taking dicta- tion. Second semester found the students working on developing their speed in dictation. Mrs. McClure used a tape recorder for the task. She would tape her voice at a certain speed and then play it back for the class to take dictation notes. Sometimes, Mrs. McClure had the students transcribe their notes by typing what they had written in their stenographers notebook. The students worked for a goal of at least eighty words a minute. Some students, Elaine Perea for one, achieved a hun- dred words or more per minute. Accounting classes prepared students for keeping track of financial records and books. Students learned what the vari- ous kinds of journals are and how to manage them. They also learned how to post business transactions among other things. The Accounting teachers, Calvin Reed and Mrs. McClure, gave students projects consisting of different kinds of business trans- actions, writing non-negotiable checks, filing, and doing work at the end of a fiscal period. Other business courses included office machines and typing. Office simulation is another course offered in busi- ness. These classes help perpare students for a future in business. 56 Adaptability—Business Future Business Leaders of America President Wendi Maichel. Tim Ashley. Elaine Perea.

A new addi- tion was built connecting the junior and senior high schools this year where junior high Home Economics classes will be held along with science classes being added to the junior high curriculum. The high school Home Economics classes will have more room and possibly smaller classes. Kathy Becker, new Home Economics teacher, was contracted this year and was a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. In high school Home Eco- nomics, students were taught nutrition and cooked healthful foods during first semester. They also had some needlecraft pro- jects. During second semester, stu- dents studied the basics of sew- ing and worked at sewing pro- jects. Miss Becker commmented. “It has been a pretty successful year. There were a few incon- veniences with the construction of the junior high addition going on, but in the long run, it will be well worthwhile with the junior high separate.” Kathy Becker puts away groceries for her Home Economics classes.

Actually it was a stunt staged by seniors Bill Mansheim and Keith Mazza and 1977 graduate, Dan Gleason. They went up in the hills and rigged a hub cap tied to a string dangling from a fishing pole and took a picture of it. Mansheim and Mazza had originally planned to use the pic- ture as part of a term paper about Unidentified Flying Objects for their language arts class. The picture looked real and many people fell for it. The tables were turned when school board member Marilyn McQueen called and told the boys they were going to be on TV and a news team from Den- ver was coming to talk to them. At the designated time a brown car with a television news banner drove up with Mrs. McQueen at the wheel, honking merrily. Bill Mansheim said “The rea- son why we did it was because we wanted to make the UFO realistic and to get peoples’ reac- tions for our term paper.” Taos Trip Marianne Bowers, Annette Vigil and Barbara Bagwell, along with Hispano Literature teacher, Carol Slaughter, trav- eled to Taos, New Mexico Mar. 14 for a day.

The stunt backfired when school board member Marilyn McQueen had the boys believing they were going to be on TV. The joke ended in good humor when Mrs. McQueen drove up in a car with a television news banner. Mazza and Mansheim received an A for the paper they wrote for language arts. Adaptability — Communications 61 Phys Ed Classes Go Co-Ed Physical Education instructor Tom Breunich said that adminis- trators this year came up with a plan to equalize girls’ PE classes by making one co-educational class. The class met fifth hour daily with about 22 members. The girls said they enjoyed having activities co-ed, and said they learned more from the boys with whom they share the fieldhouse. Breunich said the pilot class was successful and-that next year all PE classes are to be co- ed. Princial John Ophus said he was in favor of the course. Breu- nich said. “This is the best thing for girls’ PE because they are so far behind the boys' in some activities. The boys help pick things up.” Other PE activities included golfing and swimming. All PE classes spent approximately 10 days on campus practicing golf- ing techniques. Another 10 days were spent on the driving range and having a full day of tourna- ments. Mike Cortese took first in the boys’ tournament and Kathy Jackson took first in girls’ tour- naments. During the swimming course life saving was taught. Eight stu- dents participated in this seg- ment while several hundred other students were divided into levels such as beginners, inter- mediate and advanced begin- ners. There were 10 days of les- sons and five free days. 62 Adaptability — Phys Ed.

Richard Leavitt, biology and psysiology teacher commented “I feel that lab experience is very important because it allows the student to put into practice the theories from the textbook. It makes it more meaningful to them.” General math, consumer math and pre-algebra provide the basis for the math student. Higher math classes are offered for students who wish to take them.

Each art student presented at least one piece of art work. Work included drawings done in pen and pencils, water colors, oil paintings and ceramic and clay figures. Winners from the Salida show went to the second annual Pikes Peak League Art Show held April 15 at Falcon High School in Colorado Springs. Art teacher. Rod Farney, said. “Art is to create origi- nality and to get a basic knowledge of creativity. A per- son must have an imagination to make it after they grad- uate, and art is what it is all about.” The Pikes Peak League Show in Falcon was judged in the same manner as the show in Salida. Ribbons were awarded to winners in the several catagories. Salida art- ists earned 16 ribbons at the show. Art student Lisa Frasl said. “Art is to enjoy and to rel- ate to in another part of your life. It will always be near.” An offshoot of the class was Art Club which many people felt was the most active on campus. 66 Adaptability — Art Opposite page.

The class was designed to teach students the common, everyday principles that they would meet after grad- uating. The 1978 Gubernatorial race became a reality to students when election hopeful Joseph Shoemaker spoke at an assembly on Sept. 29. The candidate said “by visiting many high schools throughout the state” he plan- ned to attract the 18-21 year-old vote. Colorado State Senator Ray Kogovsek (D-Pueblo) spoke to the class Nov. 4. He discussed matters of full time legislation. Charles Brown from Salida Building and Loan and other persons from the Credit Bureau talked to seniors about various business affairs. Law enforcement was another semester class that was new. Police officers and other enforcement representatives ' came on Wednesdays to speak to the class. Pictures and films were shown to make their speeches more realistic. A hypnotist spoke to the class about using hypnosis as a law function. As an extra attraction all the students were placed in a light trance. Jill Crisman commented that the class was really interesting because it showed students what really made crime in the big cit- ies a reality. Kathy Hollenbeck added that “the law enforcement class gave students an idea of what policemen have to go through and do when a crime is committed.” She added that “class members learned about court systems which proved to be interesting.” 68 Adaptability — Social Studies Governor Richard Lamm, opposite page top. answers questions for Tenderfoot Times report- ers Alan Johnson and Jana Glasby shortly after his arrival at Salida's Harriet Alexander Field Sept. 29.

This year the school received a new surface planer, lathe, and jointer. Jim Gentile, wood shop instructor said there was no change in class size this year but that classes were more co-ed. In metal shop there are no girls, although the class is open for those who wish to take it. Senior David Granzella said that metal shop students have no required projects but that stu- dents are taught to weld on dif- ferent metals, with three types of machines including gas welding, arc welding, and Tieli-arc weld- ing. Metal shop students also learn several different kinds of welds, and how to operate a metal lathe. Members of the Vocational and Industrial Club of America took trips to the CF I Steel Cor- poration in Pueblo and to the Climax Molybdenum Company in Lake County. They also made trips to Colorado Springs to Norad and Martin-Marietta. The group’s money making pro- jects included cutting and selling firewood, and selling popcorn at basketball games.

The number of Co-op stu- dents participating in the high school job experience program increased by one over last year to a total of 62 participants. Program Coordinator Dean Champlin, social studies teacher here, explained that participants in the program had to be seniors. He said that they were responsi- ble for contacting employers and securing their own jobs in local business establishments. Champlin said that partici- pants were encouraged to seek employment which would help them to prepare for a vocation later in life. Grades were based upon evaluation forms filled out by employers and upon observa- tions. Students received at least minimum wage for their work in addition to school credit. In some cases they earned more than the minimum wage. Students in the program received school credit for the semester-based class upon suc- cessful completion of each semester's work. Champlin said. The point of the program was to give students on-the-job-train- ing. He added. “Next year, the program will be more structured toward a class and a course in career education will be offered for a semester in conjunction with the co-op program.

She won champion- ships in the trail course and pole bending. She added enthusiastically. “1977 was my best year and I finally accomplished one of my goals. I won the senior girls’ all- around and placed third in the barrels in addition to being trail course champion.” Dee Dee said there were a lot of good things about being a champ, but that it had its draw- backs too.

On Saturday, team members grouped together into their for- mer teams in Andreas Field- house. That night, a testimonial din- ner to honor White was held at the Samara Inn. The four-day event was cap- ped Sunday by a ceremony on the high school field, hosted by Charles Melien, superintendent of schools, Wendell Hutchinson, R-32-J school board president, and Allie Binns, chairman of the reunion committee. This event was highlighted by the renaming of the Salida High School football field to White Field. “This is a field of champions,” Melien said. “There was a lot of joy here; a lot of sorrow and a lot of fulfilling victories.” 78 Community Involvement — Victories and Ads Bronco- mania Affects Salida As football fans across the nation look back on the Denver Bronco 1977 season they will probably remember things like — an 82-yard touchdown pass from Craig Morton to Jack Dol- bin, a 73-yard interception return by Tom Jackson, Coach Red Miller and the Orange Crush, Rick Upchurch returning for long yardage, a victory over Oakland, the force of the defense — the linebackers, a 12- 2 regular season, the playoffs, and finally the Superbowl.

Mills, KVRH radio sports director summed up the season when he said. “The 1977 football season came to a close for the Salida Spartans on Nov. 9.” The Spartans lost to the Brush Beetdiggers 28-22, when time ran out in the final quarter with Salida on the seven yard line. “This year’s Spartan squad was one of the scrappiest ever, never throwing in the towel although they had to come from behind in several contests. “Salida had its youngest team since 1970. and it was the small- est. This year’s team was a ball- club that thrived on competition. When they got behind they came clawing and scratching back. They made the big plays when they needed them throughout the season and were only stimied by the clock in the final game at Brush. “Although the Spartans could boast of outstanding players, every game was a team effort. Throughout the season different players kept coming through with big plays, spurring the Salida victories. “Time and again second stringers came through with fine performances, filling in when injuries felled starters. “The Spartans began the sea- son without a starting lineman from the previous season and only fullback Tim Ashley started most of the season in 1976 on offense. “The Spartans played only six seniors extensively this fall, with juniors carrying the brunt of the offensive and defensive loads.” Mobility — Football 83 Hergert Ends 8 Years As Coach After eight years as head coach and record of 82-9. Joe Hergert will no longer pace Salida’s side- lines. He has coached Spartans to the playoffs seven times and into two state championships. He has coached countless All-Conference and all-state players. This year was no exception. Her- gert led the Spartans to state quar- ter finals and could boast of three all-state and three all-conference players. Tim Albers was a member of the all-state first team both offensively and defensively. Tim Ashley was a member of the second team all-state defense and all-conference defensive line- backer, while Randy Kapushion made honorable mention all-state and Bill Mansheim made all-con- ference at defensive end. Fans feel Hergert will be missed, however, .Hergert said that Steve Kane, his replacement, is a good man. Kane was a '71 Salida gradu- ate and went to play football at Western State College at Gunni- son. In addition Kane has been an assistant coach since 1976. The Season Sept.

The team won one of three games when it defeated Canon City 14-6, and lost games to Canon Abbey 0-8 and Gunnison 0-35. Team members felt their record was because of the fact that the team was composed of boys from the varsity and fresh- men teams. Junior varsity member Bob Willcox commented, “We had a pretty bad season because we were trying to put guys from two different teams together and we didn’t get to practice together that much.” Freshmen had a better record, winning four games and ending the season with a loss to Lead- ville. Team member Mark Pas- sarelli commented, “The Gunni- son game was our toughest game. We played really hard and still only won by two points.” Coach Dale England led the team.

Spence also broke the record of individual scoring in one sea- son which is 534. Deleo previ- ously held the record of 415 points. Coach Ray Wheeler com- mented Barry Spence is a com- plete player; offensively and defensively.” The coach said that “Hard work and long, tiring practice hours during the off-season have contributed to Spence’s out- standing performance.

One could tell that they have had a lot of good training.” Coach Gentile set up a wres- tling clinic for the summer of 1978.

Street 539-2551 116 Community Involvement — Cycles and Ads Cycle Club Expands Salida Trials Association, a motorcycle club with member- ship including a number of high school students, sought to enlarge its membership and to expand knowledge of the sport. Wes Denison, a junior here, explained that there are about 12 members who meet weekly on Wednesday. Riders divided into various skill levels including junior and ladies classes, novice, amateurs, semi-experts, intermediate, and expert. Denison said that when riders become 14 years old, they advance into one of the upper class levels, but added that to become a member of the expert class, the member must be among the top 10 riders in the state. Jim Hartman, a senior, explained that trials riding is not a sport of speed, but is a test of the skill and balance of the rider. He said that infraction of rules gain points for the rider, and that the rider with the lowest number against him wins. Entry fees ranged from $2 for ladies and juniors to $5 for card carrying members and $6 for non-members. In addition the club sometimes held special events such as a Halloween Trial where riders wore costumes. Denison said there is no size limit for cycles entered in trials and that riders can use any type bike they prefer. He said that when a rider reaches age 35, he may choose to go into the senior class. Monarch Is Still Attracting Many Monarch Ski Area, about 18 miles west of Salida on U.S. 50, first opened in 1932 and contin- ued to function as a main winter attraction for local people, young and old, and many tour- ists. Though some students were hard-core skiers and visited the slopes from the first day they opened each year, most hit the area for their first real ski out- ings during Christmas Vacation. A number of young people here were serious skiers, and were members of Monarch Ski Club which, though not a school spon- sored function, was nevertheless made up of students here. Gunbarrel, one of the most difficult slopes, was the first run completed at Monarch. It was complete with a rope tow which pulled skiers to the top, and although the rope tow has been removed, the slope remains and is still in use. In 1962 chairlift number 1 was installed and more slopes were opened. The poma lift for begin- ners, was constructed in 1965, and chairlift number 2 was added in 1968 bringing the addi- tion of many more slopes. The number of skiers increased greatly at Monarch and in 1959 when the first records were kept, about 800 persons hit the slopes. Jack Watson, Monarch Ski Area Manager, said that during the 1975-76 season, the records showed approximately 80,000 skiers with the highest in one day recorded at 2, 206.

Grow With Us! Community Involvement — Monarch and Ads 117 Individuality Classes and Clubs Individuality, taken by the definition “individual or distinc- tive character; inseparability.” is expressed in the new building and by Salida High students. The addition is individual in _ that it is new and equipped with more modern and better facili- — ties than other Salida school buildings. Nevertheless, Melien Hall spans 40 years of architec- tural changes as it connects Kes- ner Junior High (1922) with Salida High School (1962). and molds three buildings into one complex structure. The School Board designated the addition Melien Hall, honor- ing Superintendent Charles Mel- ien. who retired this year after 40 years as an educator. When this picture was taken, exterior construction was com- pleted with the exception of smoked-glass panels, which eventually replaced the white panels. Each student here is a distinct individual, but joins with others to form clubs, teams, and classes which work together, are fre- quently inseparable, and gain varying degrees of individual or collective success.. Melien Retires Model T' Initiates 40 Years As Educator Administrative Assistant Bill Webb. Secretary Annie Lamberg, and Superintendent Charles Melien discuss plans for the Kesner Junior High addition. This is the last year Melien will be in the office and his successor is C. L. Robertson, formerly of Julesburg. Charles Melien, superintend- ent of Salida Public Schools since 1971, can look back on a 40-year career in education as he prepares to step down in Sep- tember. The story of his migration to the West after graduation, from a New England high school, of his college years, and of his career as a teacher, coach and administrator is an interesting one. “I was born in Connecticut and received an elementary and secondary education in that state. Having graduated from high school in the midst of the Great Depression, the problem of finding the necessary funds to continue my education, to put it mildly, was acute. “A newsreel which featured Western State College was one of the factors in the decision of four Connecticut ‘Yankees’ to go west to Colorado. A Model ‘T’ Ford, a 1922 Model I believe, was purchased for $20 for the trip West. After traveling six days and most of the nights, we finally reached Gunnison. “Part of the trip, especially in western Kansas and over ‘old’ Monarch Pass, was over dirt roads. By the way, the same Model ‘T took us back to Con- necticut the following Spring. “Times were bad in Gunni- son, but not nearly as bad as in the East. Working for the Forest Service, I managed to earn enough money to stay in college and earn in the spring of 1938, an A.M. Degree in history. “I recall that for my first year in Gunnison the cost of room and board was $20 a month while tuition was $45 a year. One of the most frequent student complaints about the cafeteria food was being tired of steaks. Costs at college were low, but so were wages — $.25 an hour, if a job could be found. “However, I was fortunate in having a good summer job with the State Park system of Con- necticut, where I could earn part of my college expense. “By the summer of 1942 I had earned my M.A. Degree with a major in history. In addition, I did much graduate work during the period from 1945 to 1962 at Colorado University. I received a Certificate of Advance Study in history and I was awarded an E.S. Degree, with specializations in school administration.” 120 Individuality — Administration Secretary Evelyn Rennie and Secretarial Assistant Dawn Linza. at top. look over computer forms.

Robertson. 43, comes to Salida from Jules- burg, Colorado, where he has served in a similar position for the past nine years. “Robertson comes to Salida highly recommended,” Dr. Wen- dell F. Hutchinson, Board of Education Chairman said. The school board was unani- mous in deciding to offer the position to Robertson, who has 12 years of experience as super- intendent. The district’s new top man will start at a salary of $27,500. slightly less than what is presently paid Melien. Robertson said he began his administrative career in Suther- land, Nebraska in 1964 as a teacher-principal. Two years later he became the superintend- ent of the school district. In 1969 he moved to Julesburg in northeastern Colorado, serv- ing as the administrator of the 430-student school district, including grades Kindergarten through 12. Robertson received a B.S. degree from Kearney State Col- lege in Nebraska, majoring in biology with minors in physical science and English. He did post-graduate work at the University of Colorado and the University of Idaho. He earned a Master’s degree at the University of New Mexico majoring in biology with a minor in education. Robertson received his Ed. S. degree in general educational administration from the Univer- sity of Nebraska. Robertson and his wife, Karen, have two children. Shelly is a junior in high school, and a son, Stuart, is a freshman. Robertson will assume his new duties on July 1. He will work with Melien for the first 30 days to “assure a smooth trans- ition.” Individuality — Administration 121 Teachers DoMore Than Just Teach Administrators portrayed on this page are Superintendent Charles Melien, Guidance Counselor Jim Kropp, and Prin- cipal John Ophus.

As sophomores, the class of 1978 placed first in the Home- coming Parade with a float titled. “Wash ’em up, wring ’em up, hand ’em on the line.” As juniors they spent weeks selling records, tapes, and magazines to earn money to host the Junior-Senior Prom. The class earned $550 which, added to other projects, brought the treasury to $ 1,800. They also placed first in the Homecoming Parade with a float entitld, “Stomp ’em.” The class started things out their senior year when they placed second with a Home- coming float entitled “Smoke ’em.” Seniors expressed different ideas in their last year. Dianna Packard commented, “I liked my junior year better because there were more things to do.” Yet another feeling was expressed by Pat Bustos who said, “I think this year has been a whole new experience because with the Independent Study programs 1 have taken, it takes a lot more self-motiva- tion to get things done in class. However, Independent Study also helps you become more aware of your responsi- bilities.” Katherine Abbott Doug Abromski Tim Albers Bryan Allen George Andon Connie Argys Tim Ashley Randy Ashmore Debbie Avila Barbara Bagwell Michelle Beauchamp 124 I ndi viduality — Seniors Seniore Rochelle Beauchamp Gordon Bell Katherine Bement Marianne Bowers Randy Boyd Theresa Bradbury David Brunell Patrick Bustos Frankie Butala Louie Calvano Tim Canterbury Lewis Cantril Joan Carstens Lisa Chavez John Clark Patty Coan Robert Cole Jill Crisman Eugene Cummins I ndi viduali ty — Seniors 125 —Seniors Tom Davis Robert Dawes Arthur DeLeo Patricia Eggleston Sharon Einspahr Mervin Ellis Vicki Eisner Gary Entz Martin Epp Marc-Dino Farnese Cynthia Ferraro Crystal Finley Debra Floryancic Dennis Francis Karen Frasl Beverly Gallegos Terry Garritson Rose Gentile John Gimple Paul Giron 126 Individuality— Seniors Seniors— Roy Goddard Felicia Graf Sandra Graf David Granzella Mirella Guccione Terri Hamel Jim Hartman Mary Hatrick Rebecca Herrera Randy Hewitt Kathleen Hollenbeck Julie Huffman Susan Huntington Bill Ivins Edward Jacobs Karen Jacoby Alan Johnson Linda Johnson Richard Kelly John Kwiek Individuality — Seniors 127 —Seniors Patti Lamberg James Larcom John Leak Joyce Leyba Kathleen Lipscomb Joseph Lopez Ann Lowe Jerry Maestas Martin Maltas Bill Mansheim Cynthia Martellaro Marilyn Matthies Keith Mazza Bob McQuitty Chris Medina Harold Medina James Miller David Mingus Kurt Mitchell Lisa Morris 128 I ndi viduality — Seniors -Seniors— Jan Nay Joel Neises John Oberrick Dianna Packard Sandy Passarelli Sheila Passarelli Ronda Perry Ron Prewitt Andrea Roley Christina Sack Jennifer Salerno Penny Jo Smith Steve Smith Ann Sparling Barry Spence John Spezze Racinda Stuard Cynthia Toole John Valdez Annette Vigil Individuality — Seniors 129 Sales, Concessions Help Junior Funds The Junior Class raised around $1,800 this year in the sale of fruitcakes and candies. They also ran the concession stands at all home football games. Adding the money that was raised during their sophomore year, in which they served at an Elks banquet, there was sufficient amount in the treasury. The class of 145 students, got a good start their sophomore year when they raised $300. The group earned the money by serving 1,000 Elks and their wives at a banquet held in the fieldhouse of Salida High School. President Larry Ausbun was pleased with the class work. He anticipated a good Junior-Senior Prom. Extra money left over would be used for special activ- es the class wished to have. Junior Class officers for 1977-1978 were Vice-President.

The project was held after the Junior- Senior Prom sponsored in May by the class of 1979.

Superintendent Charles Melien will face his retirement, the finality of his career, with joy and sorrow. He will not be forgotten nor will he aban- don his work as an educator, because he sought Democratic candidacy for the State Board of Edu- cation from the Third Congressional District. Departing seniors are in many ways similar to the changing leaves pictured on the end-sheet pages — both are changing styles or “color” and facing dif- ferent directions. Many thanks to Snyder Portraits who did most of the pictures on the “Individuality pages and came through in spite of heavy fire damage to their Canon City store: to the Mountain Mail who helped us out with a few photos, and to our Taylor Publishing Company Representatives, Tern Fisher, Dennis Clappier. I would like to thank the members of my staff who each did his best in producing the yearbook Also to Anthony Vigil and Gene Cummins, who although not on the staff, helped us out when we were in deadline trouble. A very special thank you to Jan Veltri who always worked hard and gave her support when 1 needed it. Most of all. thanks to my adviser, Dick Dixon, who always listened to what I had to say. respected myjudgement, and taught me a great deal.
