PO Box 70, Salida. Colo. 81201 Volume 66 i Salida School District We've been here a century We've been here a century! The Salida School District was created in 1879 — 100 years ago! We’ve been here to see the birth of the Smel- tertown smokestack, we saw it become a Salida landmark, and we almost saw its destruction. We’ve been here to see the Salida area become a prospering community. On June 12,1879, a petition was submitted to E. R. Naylor, County Superintendent of Schools, asking that he form a school district on the territory near the junction of Little River and the Arkansas River. On June 26, that year, the district was established. In 1882, a $4000 bond issue was floated to construct a two-room, stone building at the cor- ner of Third and D Streets. It became the first school building in Salida. In 1891, a $20,000 bond issue was passed to erect a school on H Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets. In 1904, a senior high build- ing was constructed at the corner of Ninth and D Streets. These are a few of the major developments that have taken place throughout the existence of our school district. Along with education, another major devel- opment in the community was the building of the Smeltertown smokestack. Although the stack was part of a thriving industry for only a few years, it has become a landmark, and for a time looked as though it would be as vital to the area as education. The stack was just one of the industries, or businesses that encouraged the growth of the school district. The community is closely associated with the schools because so many downtown activi- ties involve young people or revolve around school sports, drama, journalism, music, and mutual economic involvements. Things effect- ing students, frequently effect townspeople. We like it this way, now as it was then. Against this background, Le Resume records the changes, improvements, happenings of yet another year. The last of the first 100.

Today students don’t have to write on slates, and with the use of calculators, stu- dents (and teachers) don’t even have to do their own fig- uring. The number of teachers and students have increased greatly since then, as well as the size and number of build- ings in which classes are taught. In 1879, Miss Jennie Smith was elected as teacher at $40 a month for three months of school in Salida. A room was rented for about 25 pupils. A stove was purchased and a load of wood was secured. Rented rooms used for school purposes for the first three years were in buildings that were in the area of Third and G Streets — what is now the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Masonic Temple, and Western Auto. In 1979, Salida school sys- tems consisted of three sepa- rate schools — Longfellow Elementary, Kesner Jr. High, and Salida High School. Within the three schools, approximately 87 teachers were employed, and an esti- mated 1,451 students attended. It was the first year that Melien Hall was used. In the vocational curriculum students are allowed to work at their own pace. John Michael Wagner, top, lights a torch during his third and fourth hour welding class.

M. this spring. Students who went were Larry Ausbun, Jerry Gardunio, Mark Mehos, Mike Castellucci, Mary Rodden, Tom Aragon, and Mike Crunk. Mrs. Slaughter teaches Eng- lish II, vocabulary, expository writing, Shakespearean litera- ture, and creative writing. Another English teacher is Edward Lambert who teaches required English classes, nol, drama, English literature, short story, Bible, Black and Roman- tic Victorian literatures. English 9 courses were taught by Steve Phillips, and Karen Morrison while Mrs. Dor- othy Sanchez taught basic Eng- lish and English 10 and 11.

A senior enrolled in welding classes, Cook continued, “It’s possible I will make welding my job, but I’m not sure yet. I prob- ably will continue welding in trade school, however.” Cook explained, I like the way the class is instructed because we get to work at our own pace. We follow state regulations and do all welding that the state requires. Mr. (Ernie) Dunckhorst, our instructor, is a good teacher and makes sure that things get done right, he said. Cook con- tinued, The welding depart- ment at Salida High School is pretty good, but I would like to see some lathes and more weld- ing equipment. Cook said the welding he enjoys most is “Oxyacetylene, but I also enjoy the MIG or heli- arc welding.” He explained that oxyacetyl- ene welding is done with tanks for oxygen and acetylene. The senior continued, I also know how to stick weld vertical, overhead and flat. With the stick weld, we use electric welding machines.” Cook said, “I had to take a welding class in the eighth grade and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been taking welding classes throughout high school.” He concluded, “I don’t know where I will work when I get out of school, but I would like to work around this area.” A student in the class com- mented, “Kelly is one heck of a welder and should do very well if he goes into weldig as a career.” Experience as well as learning is an important part of Industrial Arts, according to vocational head.

Calvin Reed, accounting, typ- ing, and office machines teacher, said, “The accounting classes have fewer students this year because there were two sections.” Most of the students in one business class are also in the others according to Reed. He said that the changing of accounting to a five-point honor class had no effect on the enrollment of his class. Debbie Bill, a junior enrolled in the business curriculum, feels she is receiving adequate train- ing for her future plans to attend business school. Miss Bill said, I feel Mr. Reed and Mrs. Donna McClure are excellent teachers and I have learned a lot from them.” She added, “They let you do a lot of work on your own therefore, you work at your own pace, and understand more.” 12 Calculators — Home Economics Unique class teaches responsibility Twenty-seven 'babies' add new twist Sara Graf, opposite page, crawled under her sewing machine to view the remains of her baby whose cra- dle tipped over on the corner of her desk An egg baby belonging to Ellen Cummins, top left, rests happily on her desk during class Miss Becker, left, examines the baby that was abandoned in her maibox by anonymous mother.” “I lost my baby, I lost my baby! cried Debbie Genova as she ran through the halls clutching slimy remains of a broken egg in her pocket. The babies” were eggs given to 27 home economics students by teacher Kathy Becker as part ot the new “Great Delivery class ottered this year. The new class, one ot several, was available because ot the new Melien Hall Addition where junior high home eco- nomics students now have classes. The egg babies were to teach responsiblity of caring for babies. Girls had to take care of them for three days. There were eight fatalities” registered when babies rolled off desks, fell out of hands, or broke in pockets. The first fatality was registered when a baby” fell off Sara Graf’s desk just 20 min- utes after she received her egg. Students learned the funda- mentals of bathing infants when two local women, Molly Krajicek and Kathy Bowers brought their children in for the classes. These two projects were por- tions of the Delivery class which is divided into two parts. The first is The Great Delivery held in the first semester. It cov- ered care of infants from con- ception to age two. The second semester offered a course entitled Bringing Up Babe,” which covered the care of children from age two to teens. Other new classes included marriage, life style, and living environment. Time for additional classes became available when Miss Becker no longer was required to double as a junior high home economics teachers — an idea long in planning.

Girls in the field house locker room? New physical education courses were initiated this year for the first time on a full scale basis. Girls and boys shared activities and learned new sports together. One girl enrolled said, “The classes are more fun but when we play something like basket- ball or volleyball, the guys are real 'ball hogs’!” An opposite point of view about co-edupational physical education was expressed by sophomore Mike Bride, who said, “Some boys are worse than some girls so it really doesn’t bother me. In a lot of sports, the girls are even better than the boys.” Cross-country skiing was a new addition to the Physical Education curriculum. Skis were supplied by the physical educa- tion department for the practice cross-country skiing on the football field. One member of the PE classes, Ellen Canterbury, com- mented, “It was fun because it gave me experience for skiing later on. It was a lot different from downhill skiing because it takes more coordination.” Calculators — Physical Education 15 Sophomore Andy Loften dissects a frog in Richard Leavitt's biotogy class Students also worked with live frogs in a lab the day before the dissecting 16 Calculators — Math and Science SLV science fair SHS students receive awards All the Salida High School students entered in the San Luis Valley science fair held in Ala- mosa Feb. 22, 23, came home with honors.

Since last year, seniors were required to take the course. Seminar means an open exchange of ideas, and the course is designed to give stu- dents a last chance while in high school to learn about gov- ernment, law, and consumer economics. School officials explained that the school board here has an understanding with the state concerning what students have to know when they leave school. The committee involved with contract accreditation here feels that seniors should have some knowledge of government and law, and sees current accountability as one of the requirements for the district to meet. Edward Lambert, senior semi- nar teacher, said that from his experience in the last two years, he thinks the class is needed. He said, It will help students to become more involved citi- zens. Lambert continued, They will learn about con- sumer issues like insurance, credit, and taxes. School officials said that sen- iors did not seem to like the fact the course was required — especially the first year that sen- ior seminar was taught. Officals said that students were not pre- pared for it because they plan- ned their senior schedules and then had to change their plans. Lambert said, however, that more than one senior came to him and said he felt the course was one of the most valuable in which he was enrolled in his twelve years of school. Law enforcement is another social science that is taught along with senior seminar. The law enforcement class featured speakers once a week who lec- tured on different aspects of law enforcement from child abuse to murder.

Coach Veronica Dice said, ‘‘Our team is young and inexpe- rienced, mostly made up of sophomores and freshmen. We only had one senior, Prissy Witty, and only one junior, Karen O’Connor. Miss O'Connor said, ‘‘We could have had a real good team if more girls would have gone out. If we would have had the quantity, we would have had the quality. Miss Dice added, The girls that did come out showed a great deal of promise. Other members felt that the interest in gymnastics has been better in past years. The district meet was held in Buena Vista Oct. 27 and Salida placed third. A Pikes Peak League meet was not held because St. Mary and Manitou Springs dropped gymnastics programs. The resulting four teams were not enough for PPL competition. The state meet was held Nov. 4 at Ft.

Intra-county rivals share league title First year head coach Steve Kane lead the Spartans to their eighth consecutive year in the state AA playofts. The season marked the end of a Pikes Peak League record when the Spar- tans encountered their first defeat after 57 striaght league victories. Nov. 4, St. Mary ended the Spartan winning string that began in 1970. However Salida ended up sharing the PPL championship title this year with intra-county rivals the Buena Vista Demons. Spartans defeated Demons in league play Oct. 21, handing the Demons their only loss of the PPL season. Spartans suf- fered their only loss in the last game of the season against St. Mary Pirates. The game, played on Chey- enne Mountain field, was not only Homecoming for St. Mary but also happend to be the Pirates’ last game. The school was slated for closing after the 1978-79 year because of a lack of money. Salida’s come-from-behind- victory over the Demons ena- bled Spartans to enjoy home field advantage in the prelimi- nary playoff game. Holy Family was the first obstacle in the'78 playoffs held Nov. 13. The Tigers fell to defeat 14-7 at the hands of the Spartans. Salida advanced to the quarter final game when they traveled to meet the Burlington Cougars Nov. 18. The game marked the end of the season for the mighty Spartans when the Cougars emerged with a 26-18 victory. Senior Brad Franklin said, We did better than I thought we would. We were not that big but we went a lot farther than was expected.” Senior Mark Glasby, first year member of the team added, “The St. Mary game was not one of our better games.” 32 Air-Pack — Football Its tough to gain yards with a Husky hung on a leg. but Larry Ausbun managed to break this tackle attempt and make a few more before he was brought down Ausbun gained 170 yds in the game and totaled 814 yds. for the season Silver shades of Junior Varsity Coach “Holly- wood Don Davis reflect members of his squad The nickname came from his silver tooth and his ever present sunglasses Air-Pack — Football 33 Before it shattered to thundering Spartans, the poster said.

Lose to Buena Vista? No way!! Spartans got off to a slow start in the Homecoming game here Oct. 21. With a score of 14-0 in the third quarter it was starting to look bad for the Salida Spar- tans. Was this going to be Salida’s first loss in eight years? And to county rivals the Buena Vista Demons? No way! After a quick handoff to Randy Kapushion, quarterback Mike Luchetta headed up-field to receive a pass from Kapush- ion and run it in for Salida's first score of the game. With 2:30 left to play, a chant rose from the Buena Vista stands, “there ain't no way Spartans, there ain’t no way.” From the Salida side came the reply, “the game’s not over yet.” Spartan fans were right. With 1:54 left, Kapushion received a long pass for a first down on the seven-yard line. On the next two plays Luchetta handed-off to Larry Ausbun for six yards. It was third down and one yard to go when Ausbun went up the middle and scored by inches. The score was tied at 14 all, but Ausbun did it again and went to the right for the two point conversion.

The season included a pair of wins over Canon Abbey and the only loss came at the hands of Canon City. The game against intra-county rivals — the Buena Vista Demons — ended in a 12- 12 tie. The other tie game came at the hands of Alamosa JVs when the teams locked 6-6. Davis said the only Pikes Peak League game was against Buena Vista. Dale England, freshman foot- ball coach said, “The JV did a good job for the competition they had. He explained that Salida uses mostly freshmen and sophomores on its JV while other schools use sophomores and juniors. Freshmen won all four of the games on their slate. Bill Fear, a member of the frosh team, said that during the first half of the season, “We didn't play that well, but in the second half, we did a lot better.” Freshmen dropped Canon Abbey 12-0; Buena Vista 34-0 and 56-0 and Alamosa, 18-6.

They provided a stability that underclassmen often don’t have until mid-season.” Spartans ended the season with a sixth place in a league of eight teams. This was the first year the Pikes Peak League has named an all league team for some time, and Spartans placed Miss Albers on the first team. This team was elected by the league coaches. The team challenged Salida faculty members to a match to help raise money for SHLC. After a week of boasting posters and friendly threats from both sides the contest ended with the faculty on top with three of five wins. The faculty fielded a team of both men and women and were allowed their own rules. The girls’ team played under official high school rules. The end of the season game was attended by students and fac- ulty alike.

Air-Pack — Volleyball 37 Merchants supportskiclub Monarch Racing Club was made up of eight members, six Salida high students, one from Canon City and one from Cre- stone. The Club was sponsored by businesses from the Salida- Poncha Springs area. Money from local merchants was usu- ally used for entry fees and lift tickets. This year, however, a large percent of the money went for an electronic timer which allowed more accurate race tim- ing. The club traveled long dis- tances to compete in races which began in January and lasted until mid-April. Racers took turns driving to the races and paid for their own room and board. Students traveled together but did not compete as a team. They were placed in classes according to ability and experi- ence, raced against time, and placed individually. Dave Tunison, an engineer at Climax, has coached the club for four years. Members feel that he has been helpful and is “fun to be around.

Linza played on both the JV and varsity teams and is expected to be a lull time member ot the varsity squad next year. Junior varsity cagers finished on a sour note when they lost their seventeenth game of the season to the Woodland Park Panthers, 76-56. Coach Dean Champlin said, “I was only disappointed in the overall win-loss record. This year we lost probably more games than at any time in the past 4 years combined.” He continued, However, I was pleased with the discipline and the attitudes. The boys worked hard and put up with a lot of disappointing losses. Usu- ally when you have a losing sea- son like this, you find a lot of the players tend to quit.” Champlin explained that if team members will work on vari- ous areas of their game such as individual shooting, dribbling, and rebounding during the off season, they can specialize more on team passing and coordination during seasonal practice. Outstanding scorers Champ- lin pointed out include Ron Linza as top scorer with 138 pts. in the season and an average of 7.7 per game. Others were Frank Guccione with 6.3 pts. per game and Curtis Whitely with 5.2 pts. per game. Champlin praised Whitely for offensive play, Linza and Darrel Rundell as rebounders, and mentioned-Alan Smith for his ball handling. Mike Smith was with the JV team for the first part of the sea- son but was moved up to play varsity ball. Others who suited up for both teams were Linza, Whitely and Guccione. Frank Perry also dressed for both teams until he suffered a broken wrist in a non-league game with Gunnison. He was out for most of the season, but was able to return for the last week of play. 40 Air-Pack —Basketball Co-captain Mike Luchetta. left, shoots a freethrow in a home game against Florence Jan 5.

In the pre-season, Salida was picked to finish behind league favorites, Manitou Springs and Lewis Palmer as well as Wood- land Park and Buena Vista. However, the determined Salida quintet hustled its way into the best defensive record in the league allowing their opponents a mere 55.5 pts. per game. Salida started the season with only two seniors and one starter returning from last year. Mike Luchetta, Salida’s floor leader the previous year, became this year’s leading scorer as well as directing the Spartan offense. Sophomore Scott Breunich was leading rebounder with 156 rebounds in the season. Senior Paul Witty and Junior Steve Price drew plaudits for their hustle and defense throughout the year. Transfer Rick Garrison, a 6'3 sophomore, was the big man on the team, while Juniors Randy Kapushion and Jim Knicker- bocker filled in admirably for the local hoopsters. Spartans traveled to Fountain Feb. 21 to meet the Falcon Fal- cons in the first game of the PPL tournament. Salida lost by a score of 60 to 49. Lewis Palmer finished first in league play and went on to fin- ish first in the league tourna- ment.

League teams posed some problems for Spartans as they were defeated four times in reg- ular season play. Their first loss came as Lewis Palmer got by the Spartans in the last two min- utes to win by two points, on Dec. 8. St. Mary handed Salida its second and third losses — one on the road, Dec. 16, and the other in Andreas Field House on Jan. 30. A double overtime clash played on Feb. 1 ended with Florence on top by two points and put both teams in a tie for second place honors. In non-league action, Salida defeated Gunnison in a pair of games rounding out its eighteen game schedule. Seven varsity positions were filled by five seniors, among them, Co-Captains Prissy Witty and Rhonda Wheeler. Junior Sarah Albers and sophomore Sheila Wheeler rounded out the team. Sophomore Libby Strandberg and Freshman Lori Mitchell came in to relieve varsity players although they started on the junior varsity. A JV team, coached by Karen Morrison, provided needed depth and experience for future Spartan teams. One junior, three sophomores, and two freshman made up the farm team. Illness plagued both teams. clu and colds kept players out of action occassionally, but never seemed to have an effect on the total outcome. A couple of sprained ankles failed to halt any girls. 44 Air-Pack — Basketball Head coach.

In the first round of Tourna- ment action, Salida took on sev- enth place Manitou Springs. Coach Kris Holthaus was able to substitute freely throughout the game. This enabled young members to gain experience and also allowed others to be fresh going into the remainder of the tournament. The following evening was somewhat of a grudge match for Leadville Panthers. Spartans and Panthers met twice in pre- tournament games. Salida came out on top in both clashes, but failed to continue its winning ways in a game that was never decided until the final whistle. The loss to Leadville unoffi- cially put an end to the season, along with hopes for a return trip to the State Tournament in Denver even though Spartans faced Florence for the consola- tion game the final night of tour- nament action. Salida took control of the game from the opening minutes as they defeated Florence 58- 44 to end the season on a win- ning note. Spartans posted a 16-5 over- all record. The team will suffer the loss of five seniors next year, but regardless of how that may seem Coach Kris Holthaus is enthusiastic about her pro- spects for next year. With the added J.V. program and the opportunity to play some varsity basketball the underclassmen should be able to hold their own next year.

The teams 8-0 regular season record topped the sec- ond high ranking of the Kirby O’Connor's team which had a 6-3 record. All teams competed in a three night tournament held March 13,14,15. Most intramural players named five members to the Le Resume All-Tourney team, including Dan Ausbun, Dave Medrano, Rick Gleason, Mark Criswell, and Dave Leewaye. Intramural coach, David Lantz said, “Although some problems still exist in structuring intramu- ral teams, this was one of the best years for intramural pro- grams.” He added, “The teams, as far as talent, were more evenly balanced than in past years allowing for more exciting and better contests!

Thorgesen said, “I really like it here. Widefield, where I taught three years, is a big school with about 2,000 kids. It has big problems whereas Salida is a small school with little prob- lems. About the wrestling team Coach Thorgesen said, It is a young team and will improve with experience. We only have three seniors — the rest are juniors and sophomores, with one freshman. Injuries plagued the team. Senior Pete Guccione got put out for the season because of a head injury. Guccoine tried to throw a Buena Vista Demon on the mat but fell and hit his head on the floor. He had to forfeit the match and wasn’t able to wres- tle the remainder of the year. Al Mersman was hurt when he was thrown to the mat by a Lake County Panther. Mersman suffered spinal shock and was taken from the school by ambu- lance. He said, I didn’t wrestle for the next two matches and was a little scared to wrestle again. After I started though, it didn't bother me any more.” Coach Don Davis of the Jun- ior Varsity squad said that his team had a lot of first year wres- tlers and that the only way for them to learn was by getting on the mat and wrestling. Air-Pack — Wrestling 51 First year mat coach seats 2 at state tourney 52 Air-Pack — Wrestling Two Salida wrestlers qualified for the State Tournament which was held in Denver Feb. 8, 9, and 10. One of the two Salida Wres- tlers was Mark Passarelli at 138 lbs. Passarelli lost his first round match and was not able to get a wrestle-back. Bob Willcox at 145 lbs. was the other Salida participant at State. Willcox lost his first round match but was able to get a wrestle-back. However, Willcox lost the wrestle back, 9-3 to Pete Gonzallas of Monte Vista. Both Willcox and Passarelli earned second places in the district tournament held in Woodland Park. Other Salida wrestlers who competed in district were Larry Giorno 105 lbs. who attained a fourth place. Gilbert Quintana 112 lbs. lost his first round match. Greg Schwitzer and Henry Goddard, 119 and 132 lbs. respectively, each lost their first round matches. Brad Franklin, 136 lbs. earned third place. Casey Gol- den, 167 lbs., Mike Hoeschen, 185 lbs., Greg Wall, heavy- weight, and Steve Criswell, 95 lbs., all lost their first round matches. Mike Rodden at 155 lbs. won his first match but was put out of contention when he lost his sec- ond round match and was not able to get a wrestle-back. Wrestling Coach Bob Thorgesen concentrates on the Manitou Springs match, the last one before dstrict. Looking forward to district and state competition, Thorgesen said he felt that a tew of his wrestlers in the middle weights would make it to state, and he took two to Denver in February « Grappler Brad Franklin. 126 pounds, below, struggles to keep Lewis Palmer's Tim Shamer on the mat during the Jan 20 match Franklin went on to decision Shamer 7-2 but Salida lost to the Rangers 35-21 Second place district finisher Bob Willcox. left, attempts a reversal on his Woodland Park Pan- ther opponent Willcox qualified for State but lost his first match and his wrestle-back Air-Pack — Wrestling 53 Boys, girls, play opposite seasons Boys’ and girls’ tennis teams played opposite sides of the school year with the men on the courts in the fall and the women waiting until spring. Weather didn't hamper the fall schedule, but played havoc with the Spring slate, cutting several matches, and causing postponement of others. The boys rounded out their best season, however, since the team was renewed in 1977. They ended the year with a four- win, two-loss record. Matches were against Canon City, Canon Abbey, and Foun- tain Valley. Spartan netters beat Canon Abbey twice, but went down to Canon City in a pair. Senior members were Kevin Kropp, first singles; Mike Castel- lucci, first doubles; and Steve Howerton at second doubles. Junior members were Mike Cortese, second singles; Anthony Vigil, third singles; Mike Fillis, first doubles; Scott Sandell, second doubles; anc Jeff Seul and Rod Lucero as the third doubles team. Salida High girls’ tennis team won one, lost four, and tied two matches this year. The Salida Girls defeated the Demon girls four matches to one in Buena Vista. The girls also played Saint Scholastica, Fountain, and Canon City in league play. The girls’ team is only losing three senior players this year. The senior members are Diane Cook, second singles; Pam Roybal, third singles; and Shelly Robertson, on the second dou- bles team. Other members include, Juniors Amy Wheatley, first singles; Renee Piper, and Jackie Rodgers, second dou- bles; and Sherri Simon at third doubles.

Tracksters were forced inside Andreas Field House for practice the week of March 19-23 due to the storm and were then met with a week lay-off for spring vacation. The girls' team, coached by Veronica Dice and Kris Hol- thaus, turned out for the season with a majority of underclass- men and only two seniors returned to the two time state championship team. Captain Prissy Witty brought experience and leadership to the young Spartans as she returned for her fourth year. Spartan boys appeared to be a strong contender for the league title as twelve lettermen returned, ten of whom were seniors. Head coach Larry Bride felt that the two relays, sprint races and field events were strong points for a successful season. Addition of the two mile run and the 330 yd. low hurdles brought the number of girls' competitive events to 16. The 330 hurdles replaced the 180 high hurdles in boys' competi- tion to keep that total at 16. This was the last year that Spartans participated under the standard measure system which will be replaced by the metric system. Meters will replace yards and kilograms with replace pounds under the new system.

During the regular sea- son, Spartans were unbeaten by AA schools. The state meet, held in Ft. Collins May 18 and 19, was another proposition however, as Salida finished in ninth place. Led throughout the season by record setting performances of Pete Guccione in the disc and Mike Howerton in the high jump, Spartans used their great depth to overwhelm most opponents. Howerton set a new district and school record in the high jump with a leap of 6'8 , and Guccione set a new school record in the state meet with a throw of 128'10 . Salida girls failed to take another district crown, or to maintain their two-time state crown, but were carried to fifth place in the state meet behind Sarah Albers and Cindy Shake. Miss Albers continued to impress in the weights, setting district and school records in both events. She earned 18 of the Spartans 24 points at state in disc and shot. Miss Shake garnered the remaining points in the hurdles. Coach Veronica Dice’s squad missed the outstanding services of Mary Hatrick but will have Miss Albers and Miss Shake back again next year. 58 Air-Pack — Track Determination helps Mark Mehos, middle left, explode from the starting blocks as he prepares for the start of the 440 yd. dash Mehos is in his fourth year of competition for the Spartan tracksters Captain Prissy Witty aided in the team's fourth place finish at the Salida Invitational held April 28.

Softball league play began May 14 with games scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings throughout the summer. There were eight teams in the Salida area. They not only played other Salida teams, but also competed against Buena Vista and Canon City teams. Alamosa and other teams from the valley also entered into the picture for seasonal and district tournaments. Some of the teams have a sin- gle business sponsoring them, while others have a different sponsor for each team member. Sponsors pay for uniforms and tournament costs. Practices began in early April and were usually held on Sun- days or on weeknights at 5:30 p.m. After league play began, regular games replaced most practices.

Activities From sockhops to discos Activities seem to be the fastest and most often chang- ing part of Salida High. An activity such as dancing has gone from the Charleston in the 30’s, through doing the jitterbug at sockhops in the 50’s, to dancing disco in almost every “night spot” in the country in 1979. Juniors have been raising money for some sort of Jun- ior-Senior event since the early 1900’s at Salida High. In 1938, Juniors held a series of three pay assem- blies, the proceeds of which helped to fund the Junior- Senior Banquet. The first of the series was an electrical show, the second was a liquid air demonstration, and the final was the performance of a magician, who used SHS stu- dents in his show. The Junior-Senior Banquet that year was held May 21, and was served at the Meth- odist Church. The Juniors of 1979 sold candy and fruitcakes, and ran the concession stand at foot- ball games to raise funds for the 1979 Junior-Senior Prom. Approximately $3,000 was raised to pay for the prom. 67 Splattered rookies survive sticky ordeal Eggs splattered on chests, whipping cream covered taces and the song “We love you sen- iors’’ echoed throughout Alpine Park the evening of Sept. 21. Although initiation officially started Sept. 22, off campus activities were done on a volun- teer basis with most of the fresh- men participating. During the noon hour Friday, seniors and freshmen along with hundreds of spectators gathered in the High School Plaza for the jelly bean hunt and the grape race. Object of the jelly bean hunt was for a freshman to find a jelly bean in a bowl of whip cream, using only his teeth. Brian Franklin won with a time of three seconds. Contestants were allowed a maximum of 30 sec- onds. Object of the grape race was for a freshman to be the first to push a grape about ten feet to the finish line, by using only his nose. Student Council, for the first time, taped music for the disco type Freshman Welcome Dance held Sept. 23. Freshmen in the sixth period class of Edward Lambert got a chance to voice their feelings about initiation by writing essays. Phyllis Troutman wrote, Some freshmen think that they are being laughed at, but they're not. They’re being laughed with.” Clint Heckle explained, “The best part of initiation is that hopefully you get revenge when you become a senior.” Spitting out a jelly bean, top right.

Club entries in the parade were limited to $25 in construc- tion costs, and first place went to VICA. Second place went to Art Club and third went to FBLA. Kellie McQueen was named from among four senior candi- dates and reigned Friday and Saturday as Homecoming Queen. Her attendants were Debbie Theotokatos, Elaine Perea, and Lisa Read. A Pep Rally at Second and F Street led to the Snake Dance preceding bon-fire activiies at the High School.

However, tables turned in the last few sec- onds in a flurry of purple and white activity, and Salida won the cliff hanger 16-14.

Larry Ausbun, council presi- dent, said that the planning of activities other than the dance went smoothly but for a time, it seemed that music committee members were stymied. Debbie Theotokatos and Kort Oyler said that they were desig- nated to contact AME, a book- ing agency in Denver for a band for the dance Oct. 21. Miss Theotokatos said that she and Oyler got the run around from the company for more than a month, and that the situation did not change when Principal John Ophus tried to book a band. Ophus said that the problem seemed to be getting a contract for a band from the company. He said that telephone conver- sations with AME would estab- lish a band and a price, but a contract never came from the organization making the trans- action formal. He said that Theotokatos, Oyler, and himself tried repeat- edly to get a contract with no success Tired of the run-around, Miss Theotokatos contacted MTA Co. in Colorado Springs Oct. 9. The name and price for a band was settled on the telephone and by the morning of Oct. 11, two days later, she said a con- tract arrived in the mail. The band, Phoenix Amtrak of Denver, cost the Student Coun- cil $500. Oyler said that he felt the group was good because they played top 40 selections. Assistant Principal James Ragan, Student Council spon- sor said the cost of the band was about half the Council budget, and added that no other club in the school had enough money to afford a band that cost that much. Ophus said that alumni attendance at homecoming dances has been kept low key He explained, “a while back there was a problem of alco- holic beverages. He said that some alumni had been drinking when they arrived at the dance, and they continued to go in and out to the parking lot as the eve- ning continued. Some students said that drinking alumni made Homecoming less fun. Discos — Homecoming 73 A fireworks explosion shattered Jimmy Washburn's already shaky nerves and he leaped into Dr. Ralph Wilson's arms during a conversation with Mrs Higgins Mike Castellucci played the Nervous Wreck,'' Norman Prewitt is the doctor and Sally Loften portrayed Mrs. Higgins, owner of Mansion House, the ''quiet setting for the three-act mystery-comedy Be quiet! Please, because Jimmy Washburn's nerves are shot, frayed, and frazzled. It took two tries to get the three-act mystery-comedy “Nervous Wreck” on stage and the first was thwarted by the ‘‘Great Snow of '78” which closed schools for three days. The play was staged a week later, Dec. 13. Sets were designed and con- structed by Vern Vaughn for the Chaffee County Theatre Pro- duction which was presented a month earlier, and were left on stage for Drama Club members to use. Sponsors Jeanne Duck- ett and Carol Slaughter said special thanks were due Ken Kline and other members of the theatre group for their advice and assistance with the school play. Student stage crew members included Ernie Romero, lighting; Jim Knickerbocker, sound effects; Joan Scott, makeup and wardrobe; Barbara Lipscomb, Deana Pfingston and Kellie McQueen, publicity; Rod Lucero, student director and Pam Randolph, technical direc- tor. Ralph Wilson was a struggling young doctor in love with Alice Higgins when Gladys Burr arrived at Mansion House searching for her love, Jimmy Washburn (the nervous wreck). Conflict arises between Gladys and her father who does not want a wedding between the two young people to take place. Ivan Petrov, seeking a new dance partner, hires Tildy Mae Jenkins as his counterpart and unwittingly steps into the plot. Things are compounded by Madame X, a con-artist who takes a room at the hotel and then pays for her stay with a magic wishing ring which apparently has supernatural powers. A fireworks explosion and fire, a shoot-out with an escaped kidnapper hiding in the hotel, and the conflict between Mr. Burr and Washburn cause hilarious results for the young patient whose nerves were shot when he arrived at the hotel for some quiet. The ending, however, finds all in place as the hotel gets paid for, Washburn is cured, Petrov gets his partner, Wilson becomes a successful doctor the kidnapper is caught, and love triumphs. Some of the audi- ence said it was the best 3-act ever at Salida High. 74 Discos — Drama A newspaper clipping revealing Mrs Coldwater's true identity as an escaped kidnapper falls, above, from actor Mike Lewis' purse as she (he) talks with Ivan Petrov, a Russian dancer, played by Lisa Sparling Tildy Mae Jenkins, played by Rita Klockenbrink. below, discusses her new job as a Russian dancer with Mrs Higgins.

Cooks begin preparing for the noon rush when they start at about 6 a.m. While preparation usually takes several hours, it is the lunch line and actual serving where students really see the kitchen staff in action. Mary Kimberlin was head cook this year, and said she has worked on the staff for 11 years. Geraldyn Jacobs, another 11 year veteran in the kitchen, assists and Daisy Campton has worked there for the last nine years. Marie Klockenbrink has been part of the crew for four years, while Lucille Bolin and Dona Jackson have each worked here for two years. Betty Heister worked part time this year. Mrs. Kimberlin said, “This year we served more students than ever, and I have a very good staff to work with.” Mrs. Jackson added, “I really enjoy cooking here with this staff. It is harder this year because we run the junior high and high school student bodies through almost without a break.” High School classes alternate weekly from vocational to aca- demic wing concerning which gets dismissed to eat first, to avoid a huge jam at the cafete- ria door. Some students are dis- missed as much as five minutes early some days so that the line will move smoothly. William Webb, administrative assistant, estimated that price of lunches, which has remained at the same level for the last six years, will be boosted to 60 cents per meal for students and will be increased to 90 cents for adults. Prices held steady at 45 cents for students and 60 cents for adults until inflation finally caught up with the program. Webb said, however, that lunches this year were 20 cents less for students and 35 cents less for adults than the state average school lunch price. He said percentage increases for cafeteria lunches will be 40 to 50 percent, but explained since 1973 wages have gone up 88 percent and food prices have gone up almost 76 percent.

Scott Gibbs, above, smiles as he drives his van trom the student parking lot His is the most elaborate cruising machine in town One of the biggest local fads in school this year was eating doughnuts in class. Some teachers allowed stu- dents to eat doughnuts during class provided that they did not make a mess and that they bought them before class period started. Another fad that was in full swing here this year was wear- ing T-shirts with anything and everything printed on them. Cruising, the ever-popular activity of Salida students, con- tinued to be as popular this year. It was estimated that students each used up about 12 gallons of gasoline a week in their cars. On the weekends, some stu- dents went to Uncle Dicks — a popular spot for those who enjoy dancing and drinking. Other students went to the Ramada Inn teen disco at Gar- field, which was started this year because of the popularity of the disco craze and also because of a disturbance which arose dur- ing a Teen-night at the Rama- da’sover21 disco. Pizza Hut was another place that students frequented after games or as a break from cruis- ing. The Hut stayed open until 11 p.m. making it more attrac- tive to students. Most all students this year were sure to be home at 7 p.m. on Thursday night so that they could watch 'Mork and Mindy,’ which was the favorite show of many. Disco — Fads 79 Great flakes School closes and students discover iceless skating pond The so-called Great Storm of 78” which hit Salida the week of Dec. 5-9 brought delight to students in the form of an unex- pected three-day pre-Christmas vacation. The storm began with flurries Tuesday, Dec. 5 and became the worst winter storm to hit the area in a long while. Snow finally ended Dec. 7, but that was only the beginning of incle- ment weather which froze most parts of the state in sub-zero temperatures. Friday morning, Salida’s temperature droped to -31 degrees, but that was not the all-time low for the area. It came during April, 1910 when the recorded temperature hit -35 degrees. After school was closed Wed- nesday morning by Superin- tendent C. L. Robertson, stu- dents shoveled snow, or kept a close ear on radios as they lis- tened for announcement of details concerning possible clo- sures for Thursday or Friday. To the student’s delight school was closed Thursday because of the deep snow, and again Friday because of sub-zero tempera- tures. Along with the snow, the cold slowed almost all activities throughout the snow-covered town of Salida. Besides the clo- sure of schools here, in Buena Vista, and Cotopaxi, a number of activities were cancelled or postponed. KVRH Radio warned people not to travel Wednesday unless it was absolutely necessary. Those who did travel had a hard time of it or got stuck in drifts three and four feet deep. People who could not or did not want to get their cars out, walked, rode snow mobiles, or got out their cross country skis. Snow clogged activities and streets here tor more than three days in a storm which began during the afternoon of Dec. 5.

Public Works Director Ernie Criswell said that problems began with the big snow in December which filled a half-mile long ditch with snow and ice. He explained the ditch takes water from the South Arkansas River on the southside, runs it eastward almost a half mile to where it is piped back across the river to feed the skating pond. He said that the rink, located west of Salida, “is no place for a skating pond because there are too many ditches.l think the rink should have been built on the other side of the creek. Criswell said the pump which was set up at the pond in January might be a solution to the immedi- ate problem. He said water was being sucked directly from the river over the pond bank and into the shallow depression. However, he said it would seep into the ground quickly if weather did not get cold enough to freeze the ground solid and seal the bottom of the pond. Discos — Winter 81 Spartan spirit-leaders boost enthusiasm Without the aid ot Pep Club, which died last year, Cheerlead- ers and Pompon Squads did not let spirit fall. Enthusiasm here grew even more because more people were sitting in front of the cheer- leaders and yelling with them. One girl commented, “I think that the banishment of Pep Club was a good idea because now people can cheer with the cheerleaders and they don’t have to belong to Pep Club to do it.” Cheerleaders and Pompon girls gave much of the credit for their success to Art Teacher Rod Farney and the Art Club. Farney and his crew prepared posters and were in contact with “Purple Doom” before and dur- ing pep assemblies.

She majored in music at Augustana College in Illinois. She did her graduate work in Chicago. Mrs. Anderson said, I really get along well with students here. I teach both Glee Club and Select Choir,” and that she was “really excited about the musical planned for the spring. She said that although many schools have musicals, this will be the first such attempt at Salida High School. Speaking weeks before production, Mrs. Anderson said, I hope we have the support of both the students and the adults. Glee Club students Karen Boyd said, ‘‘We had to take tests every Friday, but later in the year we quit taking them, Mrs. Anderson is a good teacher because she has a lot of patience and respects stu- dents.

Members of the Salida High Jazz Band, under direction of James Keezer, attended an all day clinic at the Air Force Acad- emy at Colorado Springs. Ten- derfoot Times went along to capture the event on film. The day began with a brisk 6 a m. departure time from Salida. Sleepy band members arrived at the Air Force Academy at 9 a m. when they met and talked with Falconaire members before the clinic started at 10 a.m. Falconaires, directed by Capt. William R. McCamley, headed up the day when they played a number of pieces from music folders brought along by Salida musicians. Spartan instrumentalists mingled with Air Force musicians to observe and ask questions as the profession- als played. As the session progressed, members of the two groups dis- cussed rough spots and made some changes in the Salida music. In addition, Falconaires played some of their own selec- tions for their visitors. The work- shop was set up so that Salida bandsmen were the only ones in attendance, and they could work closely with the more experienced musicians. Later, both bands split into sectional groups for help with specific areas of music or tech- nique. Separate clinics were held for trumpet, trombone, sax- ophone, and rhythm sections. Musicians learned and prac- ticed special jazz techniques and special effects which are used by professional musicians. High school marching band again this year boosted spirit by adding drum beats and music to various cheers during pep assemblies. Pep band performed at all home and play-off football games as well as some home basketball games. Several members of the two bands were selected to play in special bands throughout Colo- rado. Flag Girls performed with the band at all football home games and at the first basketball home game this year.

Spirit Week was created to boost student spirit during bas- ketball and wrestling seasons. Student Council selected events that were to take place on each day of Spirit Week. “Sweat It Out Day” started on Jan. 23 and students wore sweatsuits to prove Spartan spirit. Wednesday was a quiet day because boys were not sup- posed to talk to girls from third hour until the end of school. A girl who persuaded a boy to talk to her received a Miss Irresisti- ble” tag from him. Some students proved that they were truly Spartans Thurs- day, when they arrived at school dressed in togas and some even wore head-dresses of laurel. Traditional 50's Day ended the week with an abundance of make-up and hair grease.

Education takes more than teachers Bus drivers and janitors who spent most ot their time dealing with students, completed the year with a lot of hard work and very little trouble. Seven bus drivers spent every morning and night traveling throughout Salida area, deliver- ing students in grades 1-12 to and from school. Bus Driver William Canterbury recalled one of his most memo- rable experiences as a bus driver. “One time, near the beginning of school a few years ago, I was about to go to my house and only had one kid left on the bus.” I asked him where he lived, he told me he lived up close to Salida and that he was planning to get off on the way back,” Canterbury said, and continued, ‘‘The boy was apparently enjoy- ing riding the bus and when I told him that I was done with my route and that I leave my bus at my home in Howard, he looked like he was going to cry.” Canterbury added, ‘‘I told him not to worry and it ended up with me taking him all the way back. High school Janitor Charlie Cribari explained some of his duties as janitor. ‘‘Most of my work takes place in the field house. I scrub and disinfect the locker rooms and bathrooms every morning. I also sweep both floors in the field house. I am in charge of getting the field house ready for sports events, too. As for my duties in the rest of the high school, Cribari con- tinued, “I clean and disinfect all the bathrooms, sweep all the halls three times a day , and take care of the library.” I also handle any emergen- cies that occur during the morn- ing, Cribari said. He explained, “I am the only janitor on a split shift. I work from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then from 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m.” There are four full time jantors and one part time. The other three janitors do most of their work after school, and have to be out of the building by 10 p.m. each night. Cribari said, ‘‘The other jani- tors do primarily the same thing I do.” He continued, ‘‘When it snows, each of us is responsible for a certain area of the side- walks around the school. We have to make sure all the walks are shoveled.” 90 Discos — Personnel Janitor Charlie Cribari, left, mops in the girls' rest- room — one of his daily duties as janitor Cribari said. “I like my job I like being around the kids Janitor Mike Sweeney, below, wheels out a vac- uum from the janitor's closet One of his jobs is vac- uuming the high school office carpets Discos — Personnel 91 Samara Inn was a popular before-dance eat- ing place and Dan Ausbun. right, thoroughly enjoys his salad Tight Squeeze band member, below, sings.

During the Pep Assembly held Feb. 23, the basketball co- captain Mike Luchetta crowned Miss Piper and presented her with the traditional necklace. Cheerleaders presented each candidate with long stem roses which were provided by Student Council. The traditional Winter Sports dance was held Feb. 24 from 9 p.m. to midnight in rooms 1 and 2 here. Tight Squeeze, a band from Colorado Springs, pro- vided music. The work load of Homecom- ing and Winter Sports Dances previously were shared by Stu- dent Council and Pep Club. Because Pep Club folded up last year when it didn’t have enough money to pay for the band, Student Council paid all expenses for both dances this year. Student Council debated the possibility of having a disco for Winter Sports, however, mem- bers reported that when they polled students in the school, the majority wanted a band. Concerning the Winter Sports Dance, Jackie Van Der Horst, exchange student from Nether- lands, said, she “thought the dance was good. She added that “the band should have played a broader selection of songs. ___________________________ Roxy Piper hugs escorl Pete Guc- cione, top, after being crowned Winter Sports Queen Basketball Co-Captain Mike Luchetta crowned the queen on Feb 23 Luchetta handled the duties in absence ot Co-Captain Paul Witty and Wrestling Captain Brad Franklin.

The convoy started in Strat- ton, 18 miles from the game site, and ended in Burlington for a pep rally. The caravan included student busses and a large number of Spartan fans who provided their own transportation for the 283 mile trek. Spartan fans went the distance in trucks and cars and a large number went by air. Art Teacher Rod Farney said, I think that spirit is the one and only way for those who don’t participate in sports to have a good time.” He was speaking of a rekin- dled flame know nebulously as “spirit” and he said it took an upswing this year which carried not only the school, but the community. The art teacher gave much credit to James Keezer, band director, for keeping things roll- ing; to James Ragan, assistant principal, for backing him in all pack 'crush' his plans, and to Barbara Adams, math teacher and cheerleader sponsor, for contri- ubuting support. Many people credit Art Club with the spirit boost, and although it made many of the attractions at pep assemblies, other students helped out.

The play is the story of Clif- ford Shnorkel, a country boy who is two weeks late coming home from school. His parents, played by Mike Castellucci and Vicki Jacobs, seem uncon- cerned by his absence, when Clifford, played by Mark Glasby, finally comes home. Maw and Paw decide that their son has stopped on his way home to play somewhere. Asked why he was late, Clifford replies, “We’ve been playing a new tangled game at school, Maw, and we just got so excited that we couldn’t stop. I think they call it football. The parents are discussing this new game with their son when Coach O’Brother, played by Mike Lewis, arrives with Dr. Klunk (Rod Lucero), and they want Clifford to play football for the college team. Clifford goes, and while there, discovers something his parents never bothered to tell him about — girls. “What do you think I was majoring in, in college, Maw?’’ he asks. The big game between the Schick University Injectors and the Gillete Tech Razors arrives, and the announcer, played by Beth Blackwell, describes it as a “very thrilling classic and announces, “At half-time, the score reads Gillette Tech Razors, 0, Schick University Injectors, 34. Coach O’Brother is disgusted by the way his team is playing. He is left with only one choice, and he takes it. After the game, Clifford decides to return home, after an attack of homesickness. Other members of the cast include Joan Scott as Myrt Blirt; Lisa Sparling as Lotus Shmor- gus; Dana Dyer as Snifflebaum; Norman Prewitt as Fletcherwitz; Mike. Castellucci as Rattenstall; Miss Sparling, Miss Scott, and Miss Jacobs as Cheerleaders; Miss Dyer, Deana Pfinston, and Barbara Lipscomb as College Girls; Ernie Romero as Bloomer- burg; and Miss Pfingston as Clinkenstien.

Mike Lewis offered the Invocation and Roxy Piper gave the Bene- diction. Jan Veltri handled Scripture reading. Baccalaureate singers were seniors Wendi Maichel, Diane Cook, Bonnie Carey, Pam Roy- bal, and Pam Randolph. Miss Roybal also accompa- nied the group on guitar. Music included “Song of Thanksgiving’’ and “Today.’’ A tradition died this year, however, because of the gate which was added during con- struction a year ago. The plaza is no longer open to seniors who in the past braved the ele- ments to sleep on the grass after graduation. 108 Discos — Graduation Centennial Class of 1979 Class Theme: A Road Not Taken1' Class Song: ‘A Road Not Taken Class Colors: Silver and Blue Class Flower: Yellow Rose Class Sponsors: Jim Ragan, Tom Breunich, and David Sanger Work on the backdrop began about a week before graduation Kevin Kane, above, was one of seven senior artists who worked on the multi-panel painting.

Commencement exercises were held May 24 at 8 p.m. in Andreas Field House. Dr. Marvin D. Motz, professor of psychology at Adams State College at Alamosa, spoke at Graduation. Dr. Motz has been at ASC for 20 years and was Teacher-of-the-Year there on two occasions. He is listed in Who’s Who in the West, Out- standing Education in America, and Who’s Who in Colorado.

Discos — Graduation 111 • Local candidates say youth can use it more Clout. . The majority of local politicians in the 1978 general elections here, felt that recreation and job oppor- tunities were the most pressing needs of Chaffee County youth. Most candidates felt that the 18- year-old voters were not exercis- ing their voting privileges properly and that .hey need to become bet- ter informed on political topics. Republican County Commis- sioner Robert Welker, who defeated Mark E. Vanderpool, said, Kids need a recreation cen- ter. He added, “I would like to convert the old Buena Vista court- house into a county, federal and city building, and convert the ele- mentary school gym into a year round recreation center. John Lane, Republican elected to the commission seat in District II, said concerning jobs and hous- ing, There needs to be more. Kids are making new lives for themselves, and it isn't easy. Commissioner from District III is Edward Bradbury, who was, he said, “100 percent in favor of the young vote. ” Incumbent Clerk and Recorder Jasper Cortese, Democrat, said, The vote is important no matter what the age. Democrat John Hughes, County Treasurer, felt that more jobs were needed, “so young people won't leave town after school. County Assessor Jerry Leewaye felt that the 18-year-old vote could play a bigger part in the election process.” County Sheriff Harold Thonhoff, unopposed, said “I feel the 18- year-old vote could be important, but the kids don’t really want to get involved and really don’t seem to care. 112 Discos — Community Seniors Bonnetta Mills and Rhonda Wheeler beat the Oct. 6 deadline for voter registration as Jackie Garcia at the Chaffee County Clerk s Office registered them for the Nov. 7 elections Discos — Community 113 Drivers who leave their vehicles without feeding parking meters claim that Mrs Ouncan has Extra Sensory Perception when it comes to finding the little red flags after they have dropped into view. Duncan prompts change in parking habits Students parking habits like those of adults have under gone drastic changes downtown and most drivers attribute their new caution to Cynthia Duncan, a member of the Salida Police Department. Mrs. Duncan, serves as ani- mal control officer in addition to parking officer. She said that if the parking ticket is held longer than five days, it costs the tardy parker $1. After the five day limit, the cost doubles to $2. Concerning other aspects of her police duties, Mrs. Duncan explained, “I share the animal control duties with Ronald Faez who is the newest member of the police force.” I have been working on the force since July, 1978.” She added she attended the Colo- rado Law Enforcement Training Academy at Camp George West in Golden for eight weeks start- ing on Mar. 12. She said that the training was so that she could receive her state-wide certifica- tion as a police officer. Speaking of the training work, which sometimes is a gruelling experience, she said, “I really looked forward to it, and it was a lot of fun.” Regular patrol work is nothing new to the officer and she said she sometimes worked patrol when the department needs another officer or had schedul- ing problems. In addition she said she helped out in the radio dispatcher center at the Chaffee County Courthouse on bad weather days when there were a lot of calls coming in and it gets to be too much for one dis- patcher to handle. Mrs. Duncan explained, ‘‘After I started police work I was a dispatcher in the Sheriff's Office before I got the Parking and Animal Control job with the city.” “Before I started working with the police I was mainly a house- wife, I sometimes helped my husband at the store, Magnum Sports Shop,” Mrs. Duncan explained. 114 Discos — Community Law enforcement involves students Policeman doubles, teacher and coach Mike Amicone, a police offi- cer who occasionally gives tick- ets to students, doubles as a substitute teacher at Kesner Junior High and Salida High. Amicone has been with the police force for three years. He attended Colorado Law Enforcement Academy for six weeks and said he has to attend school for an additional 32 hours of training every year. He is a certified teacher with a master’s degree in physical education. He taught in Center for one year and Keensburg, Weld Central, for three years before moving to Salida. He coached at the previous schools and this year volun- teered to help coach varsity football at Salida. Considering the fact that he is a substitute teacher, and voluntarily coached football he felt that he should not be paid for his coaching. Amicone graduated from Salida High in 1966.

However, one of the most memorable events affecting stu- dents was rising gasoline prices that seemed would never stop. This had some effect on stu- dent cruising, which has been an ever-popular fad among stu- dents here. However, in a Ten- derfoot Times survey it was noted that most students would still drive as much, if they could afford it. During the year several peo- ple were skeptical about the reality of a gas shortage. George Koenig, a Texaco dis- tributor, and Irvin Sanders, a Standard Oil distributor, agreed that in their experiences with Separate negatives, sandwiched in the enlarger, shows smears ot light which indicate a large portion ot night life lor students in Salida One picture was shot from Alpine Park looking down F st and the other, a panorama of the city, was shot from the top of Tenderfoot Mountain at the foot of F st.

The roof on the pool had to be removed more than a year ago because it was deteriorat- ing and posed possible health hazards to swimmers. Work on the pool was started after a joint committee of Cham- ber of Commerce and City Council members proposed a five point plan to the full City Council on Mar. 5. The Chamber suggested making the pool area a recrea- tional complex with roofing the pool and other repairs as the total plan. Many of the suggestions have reached the reality stage, but there is still no roof on the pool. The City Council said that for the pool to get a roof, people will have to approve a bond issue. Also this year, Salida and other areas of the Western United States and Southern Canada enjoyed an 88 percent solar eclipse on Feb. 26. Salida was one of the few areas around the state that was almost cloudless. Scientists explained that there will not be another eclipse seen in the Northern Hemisphere until the year 2017, but that there will be one visible in Hawaii in 1981.

The semester class is designed to teach students how to find jobs, and the responsibil- ities of working. The class helps students learn more about the career field they wish to go into after high school or college. Co-op provides on-the-job training for students who wish to work during school hours and who can find their own jobs. Students are graded with an evaluation sheet sent to their employers by program sponsor Dean Champlin. Some ques- tions concern working habits, how students get along with others, how many times stu- dents are late for or miss work, and how well they perform at their jobs. Champlin then gives the stu- dents a satisfactory or unsatis- factory mark based on the eval- uation sheets.

The first stack was part of a 1,200 ton smelter that was con- structed in 1902. That stack was torn down, however, because the arsenic content in the smoke, plus the height of the stack (100 ft.) were combining to release poison that was said to have killed livestock and trees as far away as Tenderfoot Mtn. The stack we see today was built in 1915 by the Ohio Colo. Smelting and Refining Company. The 364 ft. stack is the only tall smelter remaining in Colorado. In the 1940’s the land around and beneath the stack was sold for taxes, but the actual stack was still listed as county prop- erty. In 1972, County Commission- ers agreed to sell the stack to Colombine Minerals Glass, a mining and beer bottle manu- facturing company, which plan- ned to tear down the stack and build a plant on the site. Members of the community didn’t like the idea, however, and approximately 22 Salida cit- izens formed the Save Our Stack (SOS) Committee and filed suit against the commis- sioners. As the result of hard work and court battles, the SOS group arranged for the city to take title to the stack, therefore saving the edifice which more recently has been listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. This aerial view ol the smokestack shows the site that was considered in 1902 to be an - ideal spot two miles from the business center of Salida '1 Discos — Community 119 JL-g 146 G St., Salida Member FDIC Full Service Bank 539-3501 Drive-In or Main Lobby 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday 9 a.m. to Noon Saturday 120 Advertising 348 G.

Students in 1979 chose from a variety of pens ranging from an accountant fine point to a Pentel “rolling writer.” Sondra Martin continued tradition when she graduated in 1979 — she was the first, fourth generation graduate of Salida High. Her great grandmother, Genelle Haus, graduated from SHS in 1914. Daughter Royce Lytle received her diploma in 1938 and her daughter Lea Mardell Donahoo became the third in the series when she graduated in 1959. Sondra, daughter of Lea, married Richard Martin in July 1978 — and became the fourth generation graduate in 1979.

L Robertson initiates changes In his first year as Superin- tendent of Salida Schools, C. Laverne Robertson maintained continuity of operations as he instituted change gradually, molding the system into one with which he feels comfortable working. Departmental budgeting underwent major procedural changes and most teachers said that they feel the new sys- tem operates more smoothly, and that they know where they stand all the time. Many said that their departments have more money to spend than they did in the past. Along the same lines, Robert- son changed deadlines for ordering supplies for the next school year. He told teachers that if ordering is completed this year, most items can have time to arrive and be checked in before fall, eliminating some of the opening school workload. Deadlines were moved up for consumable orders, new and replacement equipment, library equipment, audio visual equip- ment and textbooks. Previously such orders were placed at the end of school as teachers checked out. Robertson said, Students here are interested in school and they have pride. I am impressed at what I have seen through the school year and there are only a few things that I feel need to be changed. During the faculty vs Volleyball team benefit game. Assistant Principal.

The senior class that year (1976) graduated with the larg- est enrollment ever — 134 members. However, the fresh- man (class of 1976) boasted 165 members. Importance of the class size decreased for a couple years, and this year seniors were sur- prised to learn that the enroll- ment of the 1979 class had dropped by about 30 students. As of January, the class had 133 members — a close run with the class of three years ear- lier. Seniors hoped that by gradu- ation they would be the largest -lass to graduate from Salida High School.

Sponsored by James Wil- kins and Richard Leavitt, the group met monthly on Thursdays. Speakers were invited to a number of the meetings and new school Superintendent C. Laverne Robertson was one of the first. Members planned trips to the Museum of Natural His- tory in Denver and opted not to attend sessions at NORAD in Colorado Springs or the Colorado State Reformatory at Buena Vista because a number of students in their ranks made the same trips last year. Scholastic requirements for juniors named to the organization are a 3.5 grade point average, and other leadership and citi- zenship qualities. For seniors, the aca- demic rating is 3.0 but they too, must exhibit similar cit- izenship and leadership qualities. Twelve new members were inducted in ceremo- nies held Dec. 14 in con- nection with a dinner. Soci- ety President Brad Franklin explained that older mem- bers prepared the dinner and that initiates were expected to clean up after- wards.

With one century down for the Salida School Dis- trict, the question what’s next arises. The answer is not hard though — I’m sure with continual develop- ment and improvement, our school district.will exist perhaps infinitely. The Smeltertown Smokestack has survived 66 years, and will, no doubt, continue to stand as the historical landmark of Salida. Talking about history, I want to mention Le Resume’s volume number. When Adviser Dick Dixon began teaching here seven years ago, that edition of Le Resume was numbered Volume 1, because no number was inherited from previous books. This year we looked at the first edition (1913) of Le Resume and found that the 1979 Le Resume is actually volume 66. “One down, what’s next?’’ also holds a personal meaning for other seniors and myself. We have completed 12 years of schooling, the first major part of our lives. Most of us have made plans and set tentative goals, but no one knows what the future holds. I’m sure I express the feelings of most of the members of my class when I say that I never thought graduation would finally get here! I also never thought I would be so glad to get out of high school. I mean me, Deb Theo, who took 6 hours my senior year, practically forcing myself to go to school during the fourth quarter, and hating it most of the time! I seriously doubt I will ever be one to say “I wish I was back in high school,” but I must admit I will miss hearing Mr. Ophus say, “Crackers, where’s our copy of the band contract?” or hearing the familiar “Hey, Deb . . .?” coming from Mr. Dixon’s office. Thanks to Snyder Portraits, of Canon City and Salida, for doing a fine job with pictures for our classes and clubs section, and for supplying the $50 prize for our cover contest. Thanks to Jan Veltri and Cheryl Denton, who helped us during the year. I’d Jike to especially thank Anthony Vigil, who was always willing to listen and to help me, and to the rest of the super Le Resume staff, who got it together at the first of the year and made working on the book a lot of fun! And of course, thanks to Mr. Dixon, who made working on Le Resume for three years definitely worthwhile. Debbie Theotokatos Editor 176 POT OF GOLD at the end of the rainbow rs what miners hoped for when Saiida Smelter was built in 1902 Prospectors advocated a smelter for decades and the idea, if not the structure, is at least as old as the school system which began 100 years ago Schools here are older than the city which will not celebrate its centennial until 1980 After much controversy earlier this decade, local citizens saved the historic 364 ft landmark from the wrecker's ball and it now belongs to the Saiida Museum Association We've been here a century!
