The new vice-principal Mr. Thomas was one major change. Not only did he adjust well, but he seemed to give a boost to the attitude about sports here at W.C. There was a positive attitude shown by most concerning the economy. It was on a high, as is usual for an election year. The nation as a whole had to do some adjusting concerning the elections. For the first time ever, a woman running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, was chosen by Walter Mondale, the Democratic candidate. With the great success of the U.S. Olympic team over the summer and the unsuspected success of the W.C. football team, along with the usual excellence of the volleyball team, the school year seemed to open with a surge of optimism. With the success, new additions, and new standards, ’84-’85 was proving to be a year of attitude adjustments. Ron Beckel and Wes Johnson being their normal selves.

There were no major blizzards or the bitter cold that accompanied last year. The attitude of the school seemed to take on a mild tone after the first of the year.

Twenty-one years ago when our school first opened its doors, the main emphasis in the classroom was probably on reading, writing, and arithmetic. Today with our growing technology, we have many more courses to choose from. Along with the standard math, English, science, and social studies classes, there are many more elective classes. Such advanced technology has caused our school to develop new courses, like computer classes, to keep up with the rest of the world. As the country continues to grow and change, our school will also continue to do the same. Paul Gorges and Jodi Grattan take notes as Suzanne CasttUo, Robin Engethardt.

The ’84-’85 math and science program got off to a good start this year. There were some adjustments to be made though. The electronics class had to be dropped because there weren’t enough students in the class. Math Analysis II, the smallest class in the school, started with five students and dropped to two after it started second quarter. Each student needed two math credits and two science credits to graduate. Math classes such as trigonometry and Math Analysis l ll and science classes such as Biology II, chemistry, and physics were important for students that were college bound and planned 8 Science and Math Brad Thorton, Jim Gettman, and Robert Gudko work hard In Algebra II.

Consumer math, applied math, and earth science were classes for students who only needed the basics of math and science and wouldn’t need advanced classes. Intermediate classes like Biology I, Algebra l ll, and geometry were for students who wanted more than the basics, but didn’t want to take advanced courses. They were also for underclassmen who were working their way up to advanced classes. The math department had one new faculty member this year, Mr. Kevin Johnson.

The business department was made up of Computer Science l-ll, Typing Ml and III, Accounting Ml, General Business, Consumer Problems, and Shorthand. The school year of 1984-85 started out with four new types of typewriters. BOE (Business Office Education) and Business Machines classes work on these types of typewriters. Shelly Branham and Terri Altergott worked in BOE on the new typewriters. They said, “It helps us if we’re in the process of typing a very long business letter. The typewriter has a memory so we can store things that we have already typed in the typewriter.” Word Processing was an independent study course. Mr. Nye taught the course. His students are Deanna Teter, and Sherry Lin-nebur. They also worked on the new typewriters. This class offered these two students the practice of various types of procedures used in the business world. Academics 11 IVJISS Bornhoft puts a crepe on Robin Ervin's plate. With increasing demands for having a solid foundation in a foreign language, many students took classes in French. Most colleges require that students have two consecutive years in a foreign language in order to be admitted. This caused a new change in the 1984-85 school year. French classes brought into the curriculum for the first time. Miss Lisa Bornhoft taught four French I classes and one combined Spanish class. were 12 For On Language goodies While Room Ervm.

Trade Holland and Julie Gettman enjoy a crepe while Sean Wagner. Jeff Cooksey, and Troy Patton look on. There were different reactions of students after having French for three quarters. Here is how some kids felt about it: LiSa Young said, It’s hard but if you pay attention and study, it can be an easy class. It’s different. When you look at some of the words, they’re the same as English but pronounced different.” Kristy Huhman said, It is a unique kind of class that you have to get used to. At the end of the year it was fun. I’m taking it next year too.” Miss Bornhoft said that French was not for everyone. She said, It’s for people who plan on going to college or for ones who plan on going further with French. It takes an elite group of individuals to succeed in it. It takes a lot of dedication to get the writing, grammer, and speaking down.” She also said that most kids took French because it was a new thing. Next year there will be more variety. There will be more classes. For example, there will be French II, Spanish II and Spanish III classes. This will make the classes smaller and easier to work with,” she said. Foreign Language 13 Lupe Ramirez, John Reckard, Mike Rles, Ron Hoffner, and Juan Ramirez play basketball In Mr. Stone's P.E. class. In physical education students learn different skills that will help them throughout their . lives. Physical education is the favorite class for most students because it breaks up the day, and makes it more active. Ms. Mary Wood said, “We’ve started the groundwork for the Health Unit for 85 and ’86.” Mr. Gary Stone commented that, “PE II continues to build individual and team activities that they learned in PE I.” Bart Nichols shows his strength. 14 Physical Education Corey Wledrich jumps rope during junior high lunch Physical Education 15 There were many school visitors at Weld Central this year. There were speakers, cooks, and armed forces officers. Sergeant Wallenburg and John Whitehead from the National Guard were here to talk to the sophomores about employment skills and how to set up job interviews. There were also 2 deejays, Scott Jenkins from KIMN and Kim Greenwood from KYGO, who came in for Mr. Shea’s media study class. Anne Grattan, a graduate of W.C., came in and talked about state legislators, and the political system. Jerry Cooksey, also a graduate of W.C., talked about farming, agriculture and working with FFA.

Mrs. Jakel said, “Watching young people take the responsibility for their own lives, learning to deal with real life situations, growing and caring about each other as a group are the best things about teaching home ec. “We work a lot in groups where the success of the project depends on the whole group. It’s great! “I generally enjoy the total program,” continued Mrs. Jakel, “although, it is often very frustrating trying to get all the grocery shopping done and running all the errands.” Home ec has also had several sales campaigns in an attempt to raise money for room equipment and the trip to the state convention. Ann Younger serves at the spring dinner during the parentteacher conferences. Home Ec 19 Virginia Alvarado. Jim Grenemyer. Tom Dechant and Deana Taylor work on the Rebel Rouser. The year was full of fun. Even the work itself was very interesting. Every year the academics at Weld Central becomes more advanced and more interesting. Technology has taken a giant step forward, and the students are also taking that step. Making the work at school more interesting has a tendency to make the students more willing to cooperate.

One of the biggest concerns of students buying their yearbooks was the drastic rise in the price. “We've tried to keep the price down for years,” stated Ms. Fithian to answer the cries of the students. Unfortunately the cost of having them printed has gone up steadily. Finally we just couldn't begin to make ends meet and realized that the cost of the book would have to increase drastically in order to break even.” As in the years past there was a problem in getting pictures. “We lose negatives, can’t keep up with the printing in the darkroom, and so on,” Ms. Fithian sadly remarked. Though being the sponsor of yearbook is challenging and maybe sometimes frustrating, Mrs. Fithian enjoys being the sponsor. “I like to see the creativity and good ideas that students come up with.” 22 Publications NEWSPAPER STAFF.

Mr. Shea. Newspaper sponsor Mr. Shea has some high expectations for the school newspaper. I hope the school eventually has a newspaper that is superbly written, interesting to its readers, and is fun to read,” stated Mr. Shea. There were a few problems with Newspaper. We struggle to become more technically proficient, work together as a staff and determine the direction of our publication,” said Mr. Shea. Mr. Shea seems to really enjoy being the sponsor of Newspaper. “I have the privilege of working with some students who desire to achieve excellence. I see students at their worst and at their best. For me, it’s teaching at its best.” Stacy Perkins and Virginia Alvarado create layouts. Publications 23 The graduation requirements were increased this year. The students had to add another English credit and it was also decided that American literature should be a required class. American literature is a class in which the student is taught all about America's famous writers and poets. The students also have essays to write and take tests as in other classes. But the one thing that makes American literature harder is all the reading that has to be done. The student must read many various stories, some which are hard to understand and others that are easy.

The World of War Series was introduced this year. “The kids really liked them, said Mr. Hilding. “They really watched the series intently. It keeps them thinking the whole time. Mr. Hilding also took 13 students to see Arkady Shevechevenko, former Russian undersecretary general to the U.N. who defected to the U.S. Mr. Hilding was pleased that his students got to hear Shevechevenko. “He certainly reinforced what I’ve been teaching, he said. Drinking a toast for their happy marriage together are Chad Jackson and Karla Bydalek. History 27 Vocational Agriculture classes introduce the students to the four main areas of Vo. Ag.; plant and animal science, Ag. mechanics, occupational planning, and livestock judging. These classes give the students a real-life outlook on farming and a chance to learn about all of its aspects. Some of the things that are done throughout the year are woodworking projects, balance rations for animals, and large metal projects. They also learn about farm chemicals and put to use what they learn in the classroom at the forty-acre farm south of the school. Roland Wagner, Gerald Gray bill, and Ty Kipp In the hot tub.

In our quest for perfection, we are learning the skills so important to vocal singing. “Each singer in the 1984-85 chorus is pulling his or her share to make our chorus a fun-filled class,” Mr. Simmons said. Opportunities for performance are the Christmas, winter and spring programs. Mr. Simmons said, “It’s been more than an exciting year.

Remember When Graduation is a special time when seniors look back and remember all the good times that they have had over the years. They’ve come a long way, with a lot of fond memories. When their junior year came around, they began pushing themselves to make the grade. In essence, the junior year was a time to start thinking about raising GPA’s and taking ACT’S and SAT’s. They finally became seniors after 12 long years together. They knew just how many days to graduation and began to count them down early in the year. Graduation meant a parting for some of these friendships; they didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. They lived, loved, and laughed together, and will never forget their experiences at Weld Central High School. Weld Central will never forget the Class of 1985. Remember: When we beat Valley in football during the ’84-’85 year. Our junior ditch day at Prospect Lake. Greg Wolaver’s parties 1 and 2. The paper mache fight at the senior float decorations. When Robin Eng-lehardt fell on her face at the free throw line trying to keep from going over the line.

The last three months of school are torture for seniors. They get anxious about graduation. Everything they do as far as school work encompasses that deadly “I-don’t-care” attitude. Getting up in the mornings is the hardest. The only thing that keeps seniors going is the thought of graduation. Being a senior is wonderful as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

No matter how much they complained about the school, deep down, it’s hard to say goodbye. Georgia Carrillo said, ‘Til be glad that we’re out of school but sad because of the friends I’m leaving behind.” The seniors are excited to leave, but sad to have to say goodbye to the friends they’ve grown up with.

When Jos6 wasn’t enjoying sports he was concentrating on science ShmrTi Dunker and dance after being crowned. Jose washes a dish In science. and art. He brought many new aspects to the way of life from Spain. One of these was his artistic ability. He won many awards while entering exhibits here in the local area. Another characteristic Jos6 brought was his willing ability to help other people if he was able to. Josfe fit in real well to the way of life here at W.C. This was evident because of his popularity among the students. He was a prom candidate for the 1985 prom. Jos6 was chosen the prom king along with Sherri Dunker as his queen. Many people have learned lot from Josfe and hopefully passed on some of their knowledge to him while he was here. It was evident that Jos6 has made the adjustment jose 49 to a new life.

Wes Johnson. Ron Haftner. Troy Cook, and Mike Rles waited until the last minute to don their gowns. Be the best you can be” was the message given to the 1985 graduating class. The speaker was Mr. Mac Kenney, a WC graduate of the class of 1965. Mr. Kenney emphasized that although it’s OK to fail, one should never say “I can’t.” After asking the graduates to stand “make Weld Central proud of you”, he ended his address by making the class repeat after him, I’m a winner”.

Graduation 53 Maureen Croghan and Tim Altergott show their ability to pass an orange. It turned out to be a great year. We watched our exchange student, Jose Gonzalez, win one of the biggest honors of the year - Prom King. Although we lost our homecoming game, it was still an exciting event. We did have our share of bad times, however. Our school was painted with all sorts of vulgar graffitti, and we had only one snow day. This year brought us more assemblies and speakers than in previous years. At the drug and suicide assembly we heard the experiences of two recovering drug users. Shirley Kirkpatrick shows oft her Prom dress while Troy Patton and Ms. Petersen watch. Glnny Brown and Traci Altergott decorate for the Junior high dance.

Mrs. Bredehoft watches enthusiastically as Ms. Petersen helps Ms. Moore dress up as their group, The Star Gazers, on Rock Day. Hats, buttons, and sunglasses Day started the 1984 Homecoming week. It was followed by Rock Day. On Rock Day students and faculty dressed up as their favorite rock star or group or just plain “punked” themselves out. An airband was held on Wednesday night along with a sock hop. The two bands that played at the sock hop were the Gogos and Motley CrOe. The members of the Gogos were Mary Bratrsovsky, synthesizer player; Corinna Seigmund, guitarist; Laurie Beard, guitarist; Gloria Baumgartner, drummer; and Kristy Huhman, lead singer. Members of Motley CrDe were Robert Calzia, lead vocals; Mitch Becker, guitarist; and Wes Johnson, drummer. The Snake Dance led everyone out to the bonfire. After a few cheers were shouted around the fire, the class competitions for the licorice and pyramid building contests were held. The faculty showed the greatest ability for building pyramids and the juniors showed the best talent for pigging down the most licorice. Bizarre clothes, weird glasses, and greasy hair invaded W.C. on Thursday which was Nerd Day. Red, Blue, and White walked down the hall on Friday, Spirit Day. The spark of enthusiasm was started on Monday, but the flame burst out on Friday. At the pep assembly, it was announced that the seniors “carry the most weight around W.C.” and the juniors won the “copper adds - silver subtracts” contests. Saturday night’s dance ended the 1984 Homecoming week. Music was provided by Studio One of Greeley. Homecoming 57 Halftime celebrations began with the presentation of homecoming royalty. The king candidates were: Mike Ries, Troy Cook, Ty Dreiling, Greg Wolaver and Wes Johnson. The queen candidates were: Julie Gettman, Jeri Hastman, Gloria Baumgartner, Jodi Moore, and Tracie Holland. The attendants from each class were: freshmen Mark Dunker and Dani Burbank; sophomores Jeff Post and Tara Schneider; juniors Troy Patton and Teri Altergott. The votes were close but Cheryl Tegtman crowned Mike Ries as the 1985 king. After he was crowned, he picked out queen Julie Gettman. After the crowning of royalty, floats were presented. The winning float was from the junior class, with a scene from an exotic beach which gave the night a warm feeling. The seniors took second and FCA took third. The homecoming game continued to an exciting and disappointing finish. The Rebels suffered a 13-19 loss to Fountain-Ft. Carson.

Dad (played by Monty Ashliman) is absolutely obsessed with efficiency and order. He is determined to see his twelve children achieve all that they can be and constantly drills them, lectures them and frowns on his eldest daughters’ awakening interest in boys. Presented to a nearly full house on April 25, the play received enthusiastic responses from an appreciative audience. Todd Charles was pleased because it was funny and kept going. It didn’t slow down. Paula Glover thought Monty was super as Dad. I liked the way he whistled and all the kids came running,” said Paula. I thought it was great. Ty Dreiling was impressed with actor Mike Starks as Joe Scales, a cheerleader. I didn't think he could act that way, said Ty. He was really crazy up there. Keri Benell who played Lillian liked everything about being part of the production. She enjoyed acting on stage, working with the other cast and crew members, and the applause. “It was wonderful,” beamed Keri. I loved it! So, it seems, did everyone else.

Louise Blanco speaks on her past life which was a nightmare of drug and alcohol abuse. 62 Assemblies talk before the assembly while Mr. Shea speaks to Karen Baumgartner. i Im i u m ri Jennifer Ogllve and Vita Reeves from the Ft. L upton SADD chapter. Teenage suicide is a growing problem. Nationally, the suicide rate for young people has risen 300 percent since 1950. On the average, each minute a young person somewhere in the U.S. attempts suicide; about 14 succeed each day. Facts like these have opened the eyes of many people, including our school. On Tuesday, May 7, student council had an assembly for the students. Guests speaks from Peer I were asked to speak about their lives. “It had a lot of detail to it but after awhile everyone got restless because it was the same thing over and over,” stated Lisa Young. Fourteen teenagers die every day in drunk driving accidents on the nations highways. Alcohol is the most widely used drug among teenagers. Over 9,000 young Coloradoans (16-24) were convicted of drunk driving in 1982. Teen-age arrests have tripled in Colorado since 1980. These facts made teenage drinking another concern of many students. The student council and spirit club officers arranged for a SADD assembly. SADD is Students Against Driving Drunk. As a result of the assembly, a SADD chapter was started in the school. Many students expressed an interest in becoming involved. “It was interesting and it helps to discuss problems like these,” commented Keri Benell. Bill Gross talks about his life with drugs. Assemblies 63 Shelly Branham, Kathy Jordan, Vickie Iszler, Debbie Reyes. Melinda Chart and Renee Wagner all help to put on the play. The many number of activities increased this year due largely to the fact that Mrs. Epple and her drama class and drama club gave us several entertaining plays that they performed for the whole school. In April the drama class performed two one acts out in the courtyard. The weather cooperated and everyone was pleased to be out in the sunshine watching some good performances. The band also had an increase in activities to raise money for their trip. The donkey basketball game was one that involved the community and the students and also alumni. Everyone seemed to get a good laugh out of it. Greg Wolaver, Steve Castillo and Mike Croghan all work hard on keeping a straight face while performing.

Sherri Dunker showing her customers how enthused she Is working at Anderson Star Market. A penny saved is a penny earned. But with today’s inflation, pennies become more difficult to come by. To earn money, students sought various sources of employment. “I work because I like working with people. And I also like the money, which I use for buying clothes and perfume,” said senior Sherri Dunker, who works at Andersen Star Market. With the high rate of unemployment among teenagers, many students took any job they could get a hold of. Working at fast food restaurants, washing dishes, and busing tables seemed to be the most easily acquired and the pay was all right.” Although most people enjoyed their jobs, they agreed that sometimes their jobs interfered with school work, sports and free time. Students seemed to really notice the lack of free time on the weekends. “I usually close Friday and Saturday nights. It’s fun, because then I could turn up the radio as loud as I want when everyone’s gone,” said senior Robert Calzia, who works at Pizza Hut in Brighton. Besides earning money, having a job helps students gain patience. After working at Stuckey’s Pecan Shop for over 3 V2 years, senior Virginia Alvor-ado felt that the work she did helped her in this area. On weekends people have good attitudes, but when you try to fit in lunches and we all have screaming times. It’s very difficult for both customers and co-workers,” said Colleen Seith who works at K-Mart as a supervisor of checkout operators. While having a job took up quite a bit of time, most people agreed that when the paycheck came it all seemed worth it. Working students 67 Sonya Garcia looks up to see who called her name.

The junior class, who put on Prom, will usually spend most of their money on the band; however, this year’s money was spent on the music from Knights of The Turntable. The juniors made a hot air balloon to go with the theme “You’re The Inspiration,” and had it hanging from the center of the dance floor. Juniors had to decorate the morning before the big event. About 10 students showed up at 8:00 am and finished at 12:30 that afternoon. Laurie Kearns, chairman of the decorations committee, felt rushed to get the decorations done. “We didn’t have many people there working on decorations but some adults were there to help us out.” PROM ROYALTY.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Jos6 Gonzalez and Sherri Dunker as Prom King and Queen. Other King Candidates were: Jeff Cooksey, Greg Peake, and Rodney Thompson. Queen candidates were: Melinda Chart, Robin Englehardt, and Deanna Teter. It was an evening for “putting on the ritz.” The girls’ gowns were mostly fashioned after the Scarlet O’Hara style and white tuxedos with pink cumber-bunds were seen on the guys. Some went so far as to hire a chauffeur-driven limousine to arrive at the dance. Among those to enjoy such a luxury were Renee Wagner and her date Todd Perkins, Melinda Chart and her date John Green. While at the dance, students could dance to the sounds provided by Knights of The Turntable or sit and enjoy one another’s company while munching on cookies and quenching their thirst with Coke. Mr. Sorensen, sponsor of the junior class, commented on the evening by saying, “I think that the students had fun this year, and people seemed to dance a lot more.” The elk became part of the festivities for Prom with a tux and tie.

Is it the freedom of open campus, the numerous vacation days, maybe? Could it be the fine cuisine served during the long lunch period? It’s not likely. It’s the people. People, like the pieces of a puzzle, fall together to form the whole picture. Whether it’s your own close group of friends or the freshmen you saw for the first time during semester tests, there’s a relaxed, laid back attitude that’s projected almost everywhere.

Juniors 77 Junior Slang Includes ‘Spiffy’ Twenty-two juniors participated in an opinion poll. Their most used slang words were: “holy cow”, “heeb”, spiffy”, psych”, cool”, and of course, right on”. Over half said that partying was what they did for fun. Ten said cruising. The two favorite hangouts were Main Street in Keenesburg, and Burger King in Brighton. The best thing about being a junior, according to most students, was, being seniors next year.” All said the worst thing was, “homework, homework, homework ..Juniors’ idea of the American Dream was success. Following are other definitions, in order of importance: money, marriage, home and family, and nice cars. Chardonnay Smith summed up what most juniors felt. Being able to know that tomorrow will be there for all of us and not destroyed by a nuclear war or being thrown into a1 communist prison camp. Things just aren’t simple anymore, and the changing attitudes of the juniors indicates that, although the American Dream is not lost, it has definitely gone through an “Attitude Ad-i justment.” Rhonda Unnebur Keith Unnebur Jim Lord Donna Martinez Yvette Miller Damon Nichols Ted Nordholm Willy Overman Melissa Perklnson Jen!

A small few get the opportunity to drive in the beginning of the school year. “I don’t mind driving my friends around, because I don’t have to pay for gas,” said Alan Mazzotti. A majority get their licenses sometime after Christmas, when the roads and weather are bad. Brian Brewer said “getting into accidents” was the bad part about driving. He would know by being in an accident himself. “Not having your own car is really hard,” said Joey Acosta. So let’s be careful while driving! Wayne Colm.

A lot of sophomores think that another hour wouldn’t be bad at all. “Classes would be shorter, and you could get in another fun class,” said Mark Purfurst. Also, a lot of students may use the credits needed to get into college. “You could get more credits in before college,” said Kim Dreiling. Students thought of getting away from all the required courses. “You could have more Rob Bakle. Brenda Beck el. Kim Dreiling. Jerry Gyrlon. Karen McClure.

Entering the ’84-’85 school year, there is always a new group of freshmen. For most of them, it’s a new experience. There is a lot of pressure on freshmen. Tiffany Furrow said, Being a freshman means more homework, and you get picked on all the time.” A lot of students liked being freshmen. Angie Becker said, You start picking your own classes and it opens up the doors to a new beginning in the real world.” The freshmen have mixed feelings about upperclassmen.

Faculty and Staff 95 Can't Please Everybody What works for Denver schools shouldn’t work for us.” Mr. Predmore expressed his opinion concerning the new state laws covering a wide range of educational issues. Some schools in the past weren’t being quite honest. They were letting students out the entire day because of a sport activity. Because of abuse of the rules, the legislature set down new laws to make sure they were obeyed. Some of the effects the legislative laws have on us concern snow days. In the previous years we were allowed eight days and now the days are cut down to only four. If we exceed the four days, and fail to make them up, the state will cut off money that is given to us. Snow days put extreme pressure on administrators due to the fact that they have to decide whether or not school should be canceled. There is always the danger of making a wrong decision. I hate to have to dismiss school in the middle of the day because of the grade school kids going home when their parents aren’t Mr. Bob C. Gudko, the superintendent of school district R 3J. there,” said Mr. Gudka when asked how he felt about having to be the one to make that decision. Another effect is the half day system. In the past we have had quite a few half days; now we are allowed four a year (two a semester). We no longer get out early before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mr. Predmore feels that the half days we had were very beneficial. “They allowed time to get with teachers in the district for inservices and meetings.” Things have changed; students have to make adjustments.

The 1984-85 sports teams all gave the opposition a run for their money. It started with the surprising success of the football team, coming within one game of a state berth. The gymnastics team finished third in state and volleyball saw a 25 and 1 season as well as a state berth. Basketball, boys (18-3) and girls (15-6), both had impressive seasons as did the baseball and track teams. Baseball finished 8-9 and track sent several individuals to the state meet at Pueblo. Our school was well represented this year and has started to build a good competitive reputation around the league as well as the state.

Ron Haffner got ready for the tip. 100 Rebels End 4 and 5 One of the many adjustments made during the ’84-’85 school year came with the successful season provided by the football team. When asked how he accounted for the Rebels’ success, Coach Sinnwell said, “The players finally started to believe in themselves. Although in the final game, the Rebels fell two points short of beating Berthoud and advancing to the state playoffs, the season was considered very successful by all. Coach Wiedrich, in his final coaching season, led the Rebels to an overall record of four wins and five losses. Wiedrich, who started coaching here in ’82, turned in his resignation at the end of football season. He resigned to take a job as an instructor at St. Vrain Nuclear Plant. The J.V. had a very impressive season this year. They won six straight games, but lost a heartbreaker to Erie in the final game of the season. Despite gang tackles like this by Mike Pies, Tracy Imhof, Troy Cook. Chris Carpenter, and Wes Johnson. WC lost their final game to Berthoud 1213.

Volleyball 105 The Best We Can Be I C A A I e just want- l led ° play ® the best we could play - to be the best we could be.” The whole team echoed this sentiment. And they were. The 1984 Weld Central volleyball team consisted of eight seniors, three juniors, and one freshman. Using their experience as a weapon, they fought their way to State. For finishing the 1984 season with a 25-1 record (their only loss being a three-game fight-to-the-finish against State Champion Platte Valley), Weld Central’s girls have in their trophy case a fifth-place trophy. Even though they are losing eight seniors the juniors have the experience to fill their shoes. Some people measure a team’s success by what’s left in the trophy case,” said Coach Wood, but in our team what is left inside each person is more than a trophy would ever symbolize.” Terri Altergott spikes the ball while Robin Englehardt and Jerl Hastman cover her. 106 Volleyball Jodi Moore concentrates on serving the ball.

He was the team captain, Robert Cal-zia. Robert placed in the top ten at every single meet he ran at during the season. “It’s how bad you want to go,” commented Robert. The rest of the team members who ran with Robert were Mitch Becker, Jerry Bauer, Filipe Castro, Joey Acosta, and Jacob Ybarra. Mike Hect was the only junior high runner on the team this year.

The gymnastics team broke the school record with their score of 141.60 at the state meet, placing third. Many individual school records were broken. Julie Gettman broke the record on vault with an 8.3. She also broke the all-around record with a score of 31.70. Deanna Teter broke the record on the beam with an 8.3, and took first in state. Brenda Beckel broke the school record for the floor exercise with an 8.75. With two seniors leaving, Ms. Balerud still has a positive attitude for next year. “The young kids want to win,” said Ms. Balerud. “Deanna and Julie are leaving the team personality and leadership.” “They have to be leaders now,” said Julie Gettman.

This year the 1984-’85 fall and winter squads did a nice job in getting good crowd spirit and giving support to the teams. The cheerleaders this year worked hard for perfection. They held practice during the nights which no games were held. They showed even more spirit by making posters for all the teams. The sponsors for this year were Mr. Haynie and Mrs. Virkler. It went well, I see some improvements for next year, said Mrs. Virkler. Mr. Haynie agreed with Mrs. Virkler about the improvements for next year. He also seemed pleased with the season and the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders also did a good job performing the routines since there was no pom squad this year. There was only one senior on the squad this year and that was Shelly Branham. She seemed pleased with the crowd spirit this year. The crowd was really supportive during the games and it really helped us out a lot. Senior Shelly Branham yells her loudest for the Rebels. 112 Cheerleaders WINTER SQUAD, FIRST ROW: Tina Maxwell.

The Rebels were knocked out of the Longs Peak tournament by the Erie Tigers while suffering its second loss of the year 50-49. But, the Rebels being the regular season champions, were given an automatic berth to a district playoff game. Ma-chebeuf was their first opponent; the Rebs defeated them handily on their home court 68-52. They then had a long trip to Florence in a game that saw the Rebs beaten 55-52. The team was lead by seniors Troy Cook, Ty Dreiling, Ron Haffner, Wes Johnson, Lupe Ramirez, Rod Thompson and junior, John Reckard. John Reckard and Ron Haffner were picked for the all-conference team and Ty Dreiling was picked for the honorable mention team. John Reckard was also picked for the all-state team and Ron Haffner made the state senior team.

Willy Overman gives an weary look to Coach. 116 Basketball Enthusiasm, name of the game. The season for the J.V. and freshmen squads was quite promising but surely there will be even more willingness, spirit and enthusiasm for next year’s team. The J.V. squad had an overall record of 8 wins and 10 losses. The freshmen squad had an overall record of 5 wins and 11 losses. Christina Chart was the only sophomore from J.V. to play on the Varsity squad, along with other juniors from J.V. “Playing Varsity was a lot of fun but it was sad seeing the seniors go,” said Christina Chart.

A season of hard work and good luck would be a most likely statement by many of the Rebels’ fans. The 1984-85 Varsity Girls’ Basketball team had a very strong season this year; their overall record was 15-6. Close scoring games seemed to be the norm throughout the season, such as the Rebels 49, Erie 48 and another game when the Rebels were 48 and University 45. According to Coach Lockwood the season for the Rebel Girls’ Basketball Team was at it’s best before Christmas break. Then sickness in the mid season struck the Rebels, bringing their strength down a little. At the end of their struggle to the top the Rebels picked up well, positioning themselves for the Sub-District games. The first Sub-District game saw Rebels soundly defeat Valley 50-29. The Rebel girls then squeaked by Ft. Lupton 45-43. Unfortunately they didn’t make it to State because their third Sub-District game was a loss to Berthoud 61-48. 118 Girls Basketball Renee Wagner and Terri Altergott wait anxiously for the rebound.

Wrestling is a very demanding sport. It not only takes a well developed and well conditioned physical body, but a well developed wrestling mind as well. I’ve been wrestling since I was in 3rd grade,” said Scott Waterman. Mike Ries said that he has wrestled for 8 years. The Rebels ended the season with 2 seconds, 1 third, 2 fourths, and 2 sixths in tournaments and 1 win, 1 tie, and 4 losses in dual meets. Mike Ries ended the year with the best record of the Rebs with 23 wins and 3 losses, two of which came during the state tournament. Mike was the only Rebel to qualify for state and he had many fans cheering for him here. The school is very proud of Mike and the entire Rebel squad. Wrestling 121 New Coach and State The 1985 track team was larger than it had been in recent years. It also had nine members who went to state. Representing the girls were Michelle Davis, Julie Syman, Leslie Gortz, and Deanna Teter. Representing the boys were Robert Calzia, Lupe Ramirez, Kenny Sargent, Monty Ashliman, and John Reck-ard. Mr. Terry Bredehoft (good boy) was a new addition to the coaching staff and replaced Mr. Wiedrich. Many of the team members (especially the seniors) teased Mr. Bredehoft about his candy-apple face. A total of 13 records were broken by 13 people. The record breakers were Julie Syman, Michelle Davis, Leslie Gortz, Heather Farmer, Colleen Tagawa, Deanna Teter, Monty Ashliman, Chris Carpenter, John Reckard, Scott Waterman, Robert Calzia, Lupe Ramirez, and Kenny Sargent.

This past season the Rebels finished up with eight wins and nine losses, the best record in the school’s history. The Rebels had good performances out of all the players this year. They had four seniors, six juniors, two sophomores, and three freshmen and everyone gave it their best effort. Even the weather cooperated this year. In past years a couple of inches of snow wouldn’t surprise the players, but this year there wasn’t a single rain delay. Steve Castillo, voted M.V.P. by the team, led the Rebels in eight different categories including batting (.410) and pitching (7 wins). His seven wins broke a nine-year-old pitching record at WC.

There was also a new organization started which was SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk). The art club went skiing. The band also took a trip to Cannon City to march in the Blossom Festival Parade. There was a wide variety of clubs and organizations this year for the students to choose from. Having these selections made it nice for the kids who had special talents and achievements.

Every student goes through the stage of being an “immature ’ seventh or eighth grader. Decisions and future dreams are usually a big part of a junior high student’s life. They often set goals that they wish to achieve when they graduate. As the years go by toward high school these goals are sometimes forgotten or later renewed. For instance, Mike Patton wishes to work in the field of engineering. He said he plans on taking many classes in high school to help him reach his goal. Another student, Brandi Force said, “It’s gonna be a lot harder in high school, I’m excited, but still a little shakey about the whole thing.” She also said that no one takes junior high seriously enough. Although many decisions and changes are made, junior high students don’t forget the fun times that are part of junior high life. Kim Gortz, Scott Theis, Jason Zimbelman and Ginny Brown decorate for the junior high dance. Andrea Kroeckel smiles deviously as she begins to look up a word in the dictionary. 142 Enthusiast , Great Talkers Enthusiasm I think I’m in the upper class,” said one of the eight graders. Great talkers, “think the eight graders. Happy group They think they’re all bad. Hyper and “we think we are better than the seventh grade.” During P.E., Mona Ruybal gets her money in the game of Life, while Brenda Teter studies her next move. At certain times throughout the year, students were allowed time to play board games. - Jason Martin, president Jason Collins, vicepresident Brandy Force, secretary Corey Wiedrich, treasurer Scott Beard, representative Javier Acosta, representative Michael Patton, representative Theresa Bass Robert Bassford Rodney Baumgartner Carey Boen Doug Bookhammer Nancy Bratrsovsky Lori Brewer Amy Brown Amy Burry Jeff Canada Luis Castro Cindy Clark Klmberlee Clark 144 Eighth Grade Bradley Colm Jose Corpus Amanda Crump Joa Easley Kurt Elsenbarth Matt Farrer Kim Flack Henry Ford Robert Graves Jeffrey Grunewald Leopaldo Guerrero Pablo Guerrero Jim Gulllksen Greg Hamilton Christine Harkls Cynthia Harvey Cheryl Hodgson Kelly Holland Jess Johnson Joe Jones John Kalcevlc Jason Kearns Cindy Kelthley Jerry Kler Cy Kipp Wendee Kotz Justin Kremer Andrea Kroekel Cathy Manasll Mike Martin Walter Martin Genie Martinez Eighth Grade 145 Rocking Attitudes Music seemed to be a popular source of entertainment for most 8th graders. There were several favorite groups and songs among the students. I Wanna Rock” by Twisted Sister was the overwhelming favorite. They showed their loyalty and devotion in many ways by wearing florescent colors, crop pants, and plastic jewelry. It’s not surprising what the 8th graders thought of their year. They thought it was fun, awesome, and boring. Over fifty percent of them said they were scared of high school. But attitudes adjust and those same 8th graders will no doubt be ready for the 9th grade. Lori Maydwell. Raquel Valencia, and Angle VonFeldt stand In line for lunch.

Along with all of the new seventh graders, there was also a new face in the administration. Mr. Phil Thomas took over the position of vice principal. There were also three new teachers. Mrs. Starks, eighth grade English; Mr. Bredehoft, seventh grade social studies; and Mrs. Mock, study hall were all newcomers. Bill Kelly says to Mr. Shea. Really.

The favorite television show for the junior high was The Fall Guy. The favorite foods for most of the junior high were pizza and pop. One unknown student described being in junior high as “fun, exciting, but sometimes a bit scarey.” “I was confused which rooms my classes were in,” said Dessarae Thomason. One of the things that junior high students didn’t like was doing homework. One student summed up all of the feelings of the students when he said, “It really stinks; I can’t wait for high school.” Traci Altergott takes a break from her class work.
