Rushing down a nonstop passage

Remember Just a few years ago, when there were new faces and freedom all around us? Three years stretched before us But time passed almost too quickly and yesterday's future has become today's past

The new faces became "old friends" and the newly acquired freedom was not enough for us anymore We were rapidly moving on, and forward was the only way to go

Putting wishful thinking in to action Bru ce Ma c Brlde shows these students helping class time slip away

Forward at full tilt

Before we knew it summer was over and the long lines of registration stretched ahead Again time zipped by and suddenly we were running down the courtyard to that last class of the day to take the final exam for which we had studied all night.

The warm , sunny days of sum• mer drifted into fall , and ran into winter ' s icicles and snow T-shirts and shor t s changed to hiking boots and sweaters , and lockers were stuffed with coats Football rounded out to basketball and shrunk to tennis , and the load of

books with the free Army covers got heavier

After getting our fill of studying in the evening we cruised to the parks and mountains and soaked up the karma As snow hit the ground we moved inside to dance , sit by the fire , or work on the car Some preferred to stay out and ski.

The pace ever quickened as the year progressed There were always those ominous books We couldn ' t squeeze in everything so we went for the best. There was so much to get done while we still had the t i me

Take five

The social gatherings that occured in between classes were what made school memorable for most of us And Golden 's i nformal six building campus certainly didn't hamper our attempts to relax Of course, for the people not so interested i n the important things , there was always the IMC or an empty classroom in which to do that composition or late Algebra II assignment. So , whether it be the student lounge , the math resource center, or simply the grassy s lopes amongst the buildings , we could all find a place to concentrate on , or escape from, the pressures of high school.

Freetime What's that?

Even Webster doesn ' t know 1980-8 1 wa s pa c ked w i th e ss e nti a l things to do

Still, some students made extra time for lunch , for thetr hobbies , and sometimes even for homework

Lunch : the number one class

" It 's my favorite c lass of the day! " one student e xclaimed . " It helps to break up the monotony of having one class right after another ," sighed a second Lun c h many people ' s favorite pa s time From school lunches and Taco

John 's , to McDonald ' s and carry-out pizzas , t here was no end to the different lunches one could ob t ain

Creating original pastimes

Many students spent their freetime enJoy1ng hobb ies These ranged from bug collect1ng, art, and photography, to manwatching and locker sabotage Whtie some hobbies were worked on at home , others were strictly school re1ated Sometimes hobbies

Procrastinators find the time

Homework was one thing people didn ' t want to but had to do ,n their freet,me If afternoons and evenings were filled with food and hobbies , late nights were most certainly spent preparing for the next day's classes. Some very efficient students did their home-

work ,n the afternoon, saving the night for sleep A few even completed assignments days before the due date instead of minutes But most of us will re call h omework as one of those at-thelast- m1nute things !

Days of Craze

The craze of the Western movement caught on . If you didn ' t have a Resistal cowboy hat and a can of Skoal in your hip pocket , you were a loner

Cars were important since, the more " awesome" your car the higher your ego Though the price of gas was high , " Cruising " seemed to be an " Ex" sential part of a Friday night.

Golden 's " Urban Cowboys" could relax while the " Empire Strikes Back ."

It seemed like " All Over the World " people were " Looking For Love " Since the opening of " Caddyshack" Demons said " I'm All Right. " Also well-remembered music was "Another One Bites th e Dust " and " Driving My Life Away."

As for girls ' fashions, the emphasis was on " Preppy." Monogramed shetland sweaters , wool skirts , pleated pants, and Topsiders Also popular were lace collars,

Some people find time to smoke a cigarette , and listen to musi c betore going to class " Cowboy corner" rustles up almost anything

Students often take it easy in the IM C Klug's den offers a good place for theater students to hideout.

clutch purses, and Calvin Klein ' s. Notables in the fashion world rate Julie Matthews , Melanie Nicholson. Michelle Pazar, Lea Anthony , and Kylie Carritte as among the trendsetters at Golden .

Female fashion experts admired the " dressed-up" look for guys Velour shirts , J n-i-c-e pants , three piece suits , and Nike tennis shoes ( although not all worn at the same time) caught the ladies' eyes Gus Canaday, Scott Moser, Derrick Vasquez , and Roger Gaines were considered noteworthy

Whether you enjoyed spending your time in the t " pit" or rolling passionately for "Love on the lawn by D building ," or " chewing " in cowboy corner or " ogling " 1 girls on " Jock Bench ," or l " Grossing out" in "Klug's l comer ," or "veggi ng out" in Jazz-ville, you were able to find your own niche in Demonland

If you d i dn ' t see the un i que costumes, surely y o u did no t ice the c l ass s pirit. Not only were the halls festooned wi t h s t reamers and posters , but the exterior of the bui l dings sported spirit drapes as well.

The ta l en t s of the English teachers proved far superior as they nabbed the gold for " Bear Wars "

Coming up next,

We have entered the eighties , which hold a great deal in store for us , and provide a lot to learn from our pasts Before we throw our lives i nto " Fast Forward ," maybe we should first " Pause " and remember some of the timely events that occured around us , directly and indirectly

The presidential elections of 1980 will long be considered the most feeble attempt to find a good leader for America in years . For the first time since the early part of the century there was an honest campaign by an Independent candidate as well , John Anderson, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan battled it out on the campaign trail , and several scheduled debates were cancelled over a controversy about just how serious a candidate Anderson was This election will be remembered for giving us a chance to apply the motto we read so often on the fronts of quarters , " In God We Trust. "

On November 4 , 1979, Iranian students overtook the United States embassy in Tehran , and held 52 of our own countrymen hostage The Shah was overthrown , and a fanatic Musl im took over as the country 's spiritual leader The Shah fled to the U S ., and Iran declared us " enemies of the state ," and demanded we return him , so he could stand trial for his " crimes ." The Shah , however, died of cancer within the year H is death d idn't change anything and we saw the conflict pass the year mark with no foreseeable end in sight.

In light of the uproars in the M iddle East , President Carter reestablished draft registration , and Americans began lookjng seriously at how prepared we were in the event war should break out. The findings : " We could not defend ourselves from a major enemy attack ."

the NEWS

Food prices, and overall inflation were still the bearbug of our families as the cost of living rose to new heights

" How on earth am I going to pay to run my new, large , ' really neat car, " overtook, " What am I going to wear Fnday night, " and "Should I go to the big game this week, " as the most contemplated question among students, as gas pnces continued to skyrocket

The question of nuclear energy and bombs still d1v1ded much of the country. "It's one of our few alternatives ," was heard from one side, and " H ell no, we won't glow" was screamed by the opposition. T his 1s one issue 1n which the ultimate conclusion will probably be an accident , unfortunately

The rock music world was devastated by the deaths of Keith Moon, from the "Who," and John H. Bohnam , from "Led Zepplin, " both w e re d rummers, and former " Beatie" John Le nnon, w ho w as shot t o d ea t h ou t side his New York apa rtment afte r his fi rst record release in five yea rs " N ew Wave " music contin u ed to t hrive , to their disgust of some die-hard sixties fa n s Yet t hro ugh all the changes, rock music continued to be the b es t w ay of relaxation to many studen t s

Summer Whether ,t be jumping into sw1mm1ng pools. pl aying tennis, watersk11ng , or partying 1t up, these wer e Just a few of the act1v1 t 1es Golden High School s tud ents enJoyed during the sum mer

For many , summer used t o seem so long , but now most s tudent s f ind that their su mmers slip by so fast that th ey' r e gone before th ey had a chance to do any o f the things th ey really wanted t o do During the summer, students spen t most o f th ei r t i m e working at part-time Job s Yet once the weekend came, 1t w as tim e f o r camping , p a rt ying , or soaking up some rays 1n their own back yards or down a t the pool

Al ong with su mm er's end came school-back t o daily routines o f c lasses, homew ork, and 1n some cases , sports Yet again studen ts found relief fr om the drudgery of h omewo rk when

weekends came But instead of catching a tan it was ott to the slopes (for those who could afford 1t) tor tun -filled weekends of thrills and excitement leaving all t races of school work behind never to be t hought about again un t il late Sunday night

Christmas break also brought along with it escape from the dreaded tests 1n English Math and Science Visiting relatives , sk11ng , or staying home for Christmas dinner was what most of the students found themselves doing during the holiday season Only after N ew Year's did the reality of school hit once again , bringing back once more th e homework, c l asses and yes, even the tests but mos t impo rt ant of all , renewing friendships

Gimme the night

It was Friday night and the strip was hot with G H S students Dating , dancing, cruising , and partying-these were what we waited for all week

After hours of studying , we need to be free , so on Fridays we head for highway 93 . Parties are fun , but must be clean , so we all act cool , and not obscene

If partying is just not your bag , hit Colfax and c ruise the drag When you're in your car you feel just right , because in the next seat is a beau t iful sight

When things are slowing up , and everything is hush, put your dancing shoes on and head for the " Rush ."

Dancing , swaying and moving with the beat , you can get a partner , but you need fast feet.

You're out on a date , and the movie is bad , so you go drive around, don't be sad There is always a place to park , but only for scenic reasons , in the dark

If all of this fails and there 's nothing to do , go home and hit the books 'c ause s t udying ' s for you

But don't do this unless it's the l as t r esort , 'cause look all the other things to do for sport

The school scene wa s a lot more than the u sua l c lassroom grind however Numerous clubs and c lass-orie nted groups provided all types of entertainment and experience for the school

Dozens of event s kept the days busy and s tudent s happy Naturally all c lasses weren't fun and games , but the school had its share of new ac t ivi t ies and organizations that spurred students on to i nvolvement.

Marching to a different drum.

The instrumental music department underwent major changes involving everything from new costum es to different drums The director , Ross McClure , decided that his second year at Golden was as good a time as any to initiate some new spirit into his bands He was so inspiring that his students excited the entire school. McClure's first change was the uniforms He felt that the old black uniforms were "just too unbearable for serious marching ." So he outfitted his group with smart black pants , bright gold shirts , and flashy maroon sashes

The drumming section also got a full overhaul Not only did the drums all get refinished and repaired but the drummers changed their style McClure developed different cadence rhythms , and new techniques on the fie ld .

Marching Band met only during the first quarter However , in those few short months they had more than enough opportunities to show off their new image They started by marching in the Arvada Harvest Festival. They took the trophy for

the Oktoberfest Parade in Golden . Kicking off the football season , the band showed in full regalia for Golden ' s first game After much secrecy among band members , the group pulled off a spectacular halftime show They also performed in a Christmas parade in Golden, and topped the year by participating in a magnificent Parade of Lights in downtown Denver .

Other groups in the department include Wind Ensemble , Concert Band , and two Jazz Bands The students in Wind Ensemble and Concert Band combine during the marching season to form the Marching Band The Wind Ensemble is a more practiced group which works on more difficult music This group consists mostly of seniors that are extremely interested in continuing on with music as a career Concert Band is the younger group that works on theory and gaining experience in playing .

M cClure has created a new and different attitude in the bandroom But all members feel " that you have to see the band to know what's going on "

Jammin' out

At the far end of A-building , tucked away 1n a corner towards the back side of the theater was an u nlim1ted pool of musical talent Within these dark catacombs music filled the air And if the devoted listener wished to hear simply awesome jazz , he needed only to "mosey" down to the end of the hall around sixth hour

McClure felt that the group was of superior quality at the start of the year . "They were able to play charts at the beginning which last year ' s group didn ' t pick-up on until the middle of the year ." And indeed their performances at the Wichita Jazz Festival and the U N C Jazz Festival proved McClure to be no liar

The Ensemble seemed to be quite a close knit group with a lot of excellent musicians Senior Chris Plenert , a band veteran , believed , " People had more positive attitudes this year " The Jazz Ensemble was an impressive group , and although the gradua t ing seniors wou l d be missed , McClure fe lt " I couldn ' t have asked for a neater bunch to work with "

The other jazz group was a small improvisational band Although not really a perfor mance group , the thoughtful McClu r e provided himself with be tter jazz musicians and his students with much more musical background

Juniors Mark Ackerman and Kent Lemberg , looking quite dapper in their black three piece suits , ventured into Yearbook land before one of their many concerts Lemberg commented that December was the most hectic month in the life of a 24th Street Singer Other highlights , Ackerman surmised , were the various county wide Jazz workshops and the opportunity to sing at the State Junior Miss Pageant , and of course the Singers performed at Baccalaureates

Another performing group was the Concert Choir This choir, full of very fine talent , was the biggest choral group in the school. They were outfitted with new dresses and t uxes this year This change , as well as the coopera t ion and comfortable feelings made the group some thing · to remember with fond memories .

Canaries Sing

With back to the audience. and hands in a classic conductor's pose , Carol ne Mallory exclaimed, "S mile and SING!"

With nervous titters , the eleven pretty ladies of the Mountain Mag ic Singers took deep breaths and began a superb rendition of " Tomorrow " from the hit show Annie. Such was the scene of the group's first public appearance . But towards the end of the year, Mallory 's confidence had become the girl's Junior Sarah Kobernusz surmised that most of the pieces done by the girls are "S how tunes" taken from musicals like Godspell. She continued on to explain that many tunes are also choreographe d The Mountain Magic Singers were not exempt from the business of the holiday season either The dedicated ladies performed up to four times a week during the pre -C hristmas rush Although their schedule relaxed some after that, the girls' commitment and enjoyment of their group was still extremely strong.

Another group of pretty ladies , The Voice of Mariah. demonstrated as much fervor about singing as the other group Mallory felt that the talent and ensemble of the girls was "exce llent !" She was confident that many of the ladies have the potential to advance th eir musical talents .

Art brushes apathy

Even though the outward appearance of the A-4 art room looked quite peaceful , there was hardly a still moment. Pencils , pens , paint brushes, matboard cutters , and various shapes , colors and textures of paper always seemed to be bustling with activity Many students were so ambitious that the room was not empty even if no class was 1n session This was one room most students didn ' t rush out of the minute the period was over .

Although Gene Youngm a n, the talented art teacher and general supervisor of the masses, had to spend extra hours and effort helping students and supplying art to various organizations around school , he was always in good spirits and was ready with an idea for about anything

Youngman especially enjoyed thinking up fun things to do in a rather exclusive club known as Demon Arts This organization was not open to everyone because it was a National Art Honor Society chapter

and only those with above average grades were admitted to the club

A season hardly went by without Demon Arts getting involved in something that would tickle most any artist's pallet. The group visited art displays around Denver , attended a convention at the Denver University where they got a portfolio critiqued , sponsored and helped with art shows at school and in galleries around the Golden area, did school projects such as the painting of the name on the school store, sold stickers designed by the group, and had parties with games that would keep everyone in the club reminiscing for months

There were so many techniques and experiences to soak up in one year that most students were determined to squeeze at least one art class into the next year ; except for the seniors who just had to satisfy themselves with the knowledge they had gathered by participating in such a creative sec t ion of school.

A skillful adaption of Bram Stoker ' s chilling tale of the undead opened appropriately enough just before Halloween of Golden ' s Mainstage "Dracula " by Hamilton Dean and John Dalderston starred David Pearcy as the evil Count, Thomas Freeland as the pious Professor Van Helsing and Jeff Rysiewicz as the fly catching loony , Mr Renfield

Set in England shortly before the first world war , the play deals with the arrival of the forboding Count Dracula from his ancestral home in Transylvania When a young girl falls mysteriously ill and dies, and his daughter Lucy ( Sue Forkner ) subsequently developes the se lfsame symptoms , a distraught Dr Seward ( David Baulch ) su m mo n s his old friend from Holland , ace vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing With the aid of Lucy's unhappy fiance , John Harker ( B ill Coit ), the Doctor and his friend succeed at last in tracking down the evil cause of Lucy's woe , and in the c l imatic end , they put a stake

With the exception of its new name , " Mainstage" , very l ittle e l se changed for Golden High ' s club f or theatre enthusiasts Tickets still needed to be sold , costumes sewn , se t s built , posters designed , and lines learned , one way or another , with the guidance of " Coach" Klug.

As the second show of the year Klug chose to put his neck on the hne with a production of Waiti ng Fo r Godot Although written by a highly ac claimed author, Samuel Beckett, th e play itself either captivates an audience , or totally baffles them It's a tragicomedy that deals with two penniless old men , who have been promised " salvation ' by a M r.

Students dread, prosper from writin g

Out of the four sections of English , perhaps the most feared was the composition credit. In his three years at GHS , a student was required to take three quarters of writing classes The sophomore English courses-usually Basic Comp or Basic Essay-took up one quarter credit. Sophomore Eileen D e ut sc h stated that she " was placed " in her Basic Essay class by her ninth grade English teacher Even so, she was pleased she took the class , because it prepared her for a future of higher level English courses

After Basic Essay , few essay classes remained Mi c key Tr a ub saw Advanced Essay as a practice course in writing papers She learned much , " especially footnotes, " and she enjoyed researching and learning about new topics Traub anticipated College Comp as " the next step "

Most ve t erans of the dreaded College Comp agreed that they thought they were crazy for taking it. Suzy Schmidt believed it wou l d be "good experience for college , " and Michelle Paza r saw i t as being to her advantage . In this class , students learned how to precis and paraphrase, as well as how to wri t e a major research paper. Pazar stated the fee lings of mos t st uden ts w hen she said, " Although I didn't l ook for-

ward to it at first , I found it payed off tremendously "

In addition to the essay courses , the English department offered writing electives These included Journalism, Creative Writing , Newspaper , and Yearbook M a ureen W a llen , who took Creative Writing , enjoyed the class because it "was more fun than essay classes ." Work in Creative Writing class included composing poems and short stories , as well as keeping a journal. Creative Writing , as well as the other composition electives , were for the student who enjoyed writing enough to want to expand his creative abilities

As well as courses which gave credits in writing only , there were several classes that included a quarter credit in each of the four genres of English Humanities was one such program

This class was designed to allow s t udents in-depth study of the arts-mu-

sic , literature , painting , sculpture , and theatre Lori Weth ington , who took the course because she "thought it would be interesting ," enjoyed it because she got to express herself Wethington especially liked discussing artists' styles Rob Hammons , on the other hand , enrolled in Humanities because he thought it would be like the course in his previous school. Although GHS ' class differed , Hammons enjoyed it particularly the study of paintings

Another all-purpose English class was Honors English Open only to seniors, Honors was designed for the college-bound student. The course allowed study in college-level literature and composition ; the Advanced Placement English test provided a possibility of earning college English credit. Ralph Mitchell looked forward to the AP test , and thought that Honors would be " good experience for college ," especially in writing major papers Lea Anthony enrolled in Honors for similar reasons , but she enjoyed the c l ass because it was "better in t he morning than Che mis t ry or Math . "

B oth Humanities and H onors combined al l four credits and many "heavy" ideas to provide an al ternat ive to mo r e self-cha l le n ging s t u d e nts

T he writing credi t in the E nglish depar tm en t w as probably the most drea d ed by st uden t s . Bu t the writing classes p r ovi d ed expansion f or st udents' i d eas, often proving in t e r esting and usef u l.

Literature expands minds

The literature classes 1n the English department allowed students to explore different types of novels , poetry , drama and non - fiction The Craft of Literature class wa s u s ually taken 1n the sophomore year , which left a half credit for students to complete before graduation But from the numerous class choices provided by the department , each person was able to find a class he enjoyed Classes were offered 1n American and British literature , the Bi ble , tragedy, and science fiction , to name a few

No matter what kind of literature a student liked , a class was offered to suit his wants For example , the Contemporary Lit class interested senior Cathy Wh a rton . She wanted to learn about the "themes of literature today because they lead into the literature of tomorrow " Wharton enJoyed the class , especially the " 1ntrigu1ng , bizarre" short story " Silent Snow , Secret Snow "

C a rolyn Mutchler , on the other hand , took World Writers because she " thought 1t would be a good college prep class " She found the course valuable , for she could tell the differences among Chinese Russian British , and American literature

Another literature class offered was Ethnic Lit Janna Neel enrolled herself in this course because the

literature of Blacks , Chicanos , and Indians interested her Neel liked Ethn ic Lit. and the " poetry of the Mexicans especially intrigued me It dealt with their purs uit of freedom 1n America "

Instead of literature cour s e s, some students needed to take reading classes These were · spe c if ic ally designed for students who needed to i mprove their reading skills ," according to reading teacher L ind a Kat c h e n In the cla ss, s tudents did " much reading and work on vocabulary and c ompos1t1on skills " In add1t1on to these remedial classes , the reading department offered one advanced reading class Th i s c ourse , designed for the college-bound student, taught people how to read faster , with more c omprehension

The literature classes allowed students to study the styles of different writers , as well as the customs of different people The classes also taught how to write a critical analysis essay The reading classes , on the other hand , drilled students so that they could read more easily with better understanding All classes in these sections accomplished their goals , and GHS students benefited greatly

Intriguing classes o f fer alternatives

The classes 1n the language and oral commun1cat1ons genres of the English department were not very well-known Since a quarter of each was necessary for graduation , most people fulfilled the requirements in their sophomore year by taking Speech and Semantics ; these students were usually not aware of some other interesting courses offered in these sections

One class that offered an extra oral communications credit was Small Group Discussion . This course stressed the purposes of groups and behavior of people in them Julie Sim c ox felt the class ·was worthwhile " because it helped her to " speak out in a group ."

The class Radio and TV , another OC credit, dealt with skills used in oral and visual communications K aren Newell enjoyed this course bec ause " it was interesting to learn how to run the school radio station " She also liked the discussions the class held , as well as the different audio sources from which they learned

The language section also offered many intriguing courses , such as Language of Film Matt Mathisen felt that this " was a really fun class " The purpose of Language of Film was for students to appreciate the film media as an art , but the highlight was the production of each student ' s own movie

Many people left high schoo l not knowing about some fun and interesting courses they could have taken in the oral communications and language sec t ions of the English departme nt. Cl asses such as Thea t re Arts , Forensics, Vocabulary, and Logic a ll o w ed st udents to learn more about words , language , and performi n g a r ts These altern atives t o Speech a nd Semantics proved exci t i n g and va luable t o many students a t G HS

Relaxing atmosphere surrounds America

American History was the education of our national heritage It was a course that most students took interest in As junior Holly Morgan stated , " Mr . Stokes ' frontiers class was one of my most enjoyable '' However , there were exceptions . Fellow junior Jim Ratliff replied , "I find it rather boring I often catch up on sleep ."

Students in their first year of American History found something totally different from what they ever seen . " O ' Do ' s class is like a visit to the zoo on a hot August a f ternoon, " joked sophomores Linda Cole and Glyn Anthony about Mike O ' Dori sio ' s teaching habits On the other side of the spectrum, sophomore Chris Stroh remarked , " I find it easy to relax in Petroff ' s c l ass He 's such a mellow and laid-back teacher ."

It see med that the concensus of the students was that American History was a class to look forward to The laid-back mood and the high ly informed teachers made up one of the best American History programs around

In learning about the 33-year war, Waterloo , and other important events , the students learned how important history is Students sat in amazement as Roger Myers lectured on the Roman Empire

By the time the requirements were done some students had had enough social studies to last them for years There were those , however, who were c aptivated w i th the age old questions of why people did what they did and how the envrronmen t affected the way people thought

"

It was great' I learned a lot of intriguing things about the mind ," said Julie Simcox about Psychology

Although the Forensics team was relatively inexperienced , Sharp felt that the competitors (or , " Forensickies ", as many of them called themselves) did an admirable job

" It's nice to win , but what ' s more important is that they learned something and met new people ," Sharp said of his fledgling debaters and interpretors

The team logged in a great deal of extra hours They practiced after school as well as in class , and participated in approximately 24 weekend

Cathy Wharton , a two-year participant in Forensics, felt that the program gave her the confidence to speak comfortably to a large group of people She used to be painfully shy , but many months of competition changed that. M " I think it's the best class you can take w in high school ," she concluded

Most of the team members echoed Wharton ' s views In spite of the long hours , the sacrifice of weekends , the frustration of waiting for the notorith ously slow coaches , all agreed that Forensics was a beneficial and worth- fc while experience

Council convenes for class

Student Council kicked off with a fast start under the eff1c1ent control of Tina Nusse and the student body officers Homecoming had to be organized making 1t necessary for every council member to help Comm 1ttees were formed and class representatives worked together on floats trying to win the big money given to the best of the entries

When the seemingly endless task of putting homecoming activities together was finished, the rouncil members quickly began to work on making their own grading system and rev1s1ng the school constitution

Council members constantly had a Job to do Members worked together to put in such things as the new calender and clock 1n the student lounge and the wall of fame

The individual classes also had work to do They were constantly trying to sell any product they could the senior class, looking toward graduation , sold fruit Since the junior class needed to make the most money to prepare for prom , they tried to sell anything possible from a car wash to sweat shirts, hoping to make their goal , a successful prom Sophomores worked on getting together

Golden faces look toward the future

Community service and scholastic ability were some of the main ideas behind a few clubs at GHS

Key Club offered service to those in need Why be in Key Club ? " Key Club is a great opportunity to get to know and help other people in our community . " This year , among their many projects , Key Club helped out at a haunted house wh i ch earned money for the Junior Diabetes Foundation and took coloring books and crayons to the children at Lutheran General who had to spend their Halloween in the hospital

Another service organization was the Student Advisors " I like being a friend t o some one when they feel they need one ." said Leslie Engel. New and o ld studen t s alike owed them many thanks for t he hou rs of help they volun t eered

' ' Bzzt Ty Cobb ." T his might have been a typical phrase one may have heard from an Internat ional Relations Club member. IRC got its members t o better unders t and the running and policies of our government. A three year veteran of IRC , Lisa Schmidt described t he c l ub as , " a f un experience We had some really " groove" t rips and Myers is jus t hilarious ."

Last, but far from leas t , was National Honor Society To be se l ected for this n a t ional orga nization , a st udent needed to main t ain a high GPA , but also needed t o demonst rate his leade rship ability a n d his service t o the com m u n i t y The s t udents so l d notecards to raise money fo r the Honor Society Scho l arship

''Awesomenimity'' abounds

Long after the halls 1n C-building were cleared , the typewri t er in C-38 was still clacking The room was alive after hours many days , as ambitious Journalists hurried to meet the ever-too-present deadlines

No matter what t he occasion , yearbookers and newspaperites were catching the action Whether 1t was a soggy car wash, a rowdy basketball game, a fire 1n Mr Wood ' s room or a bomb 1n D-build1ng , Journalists were on the scene

Periodic galas were a great pastime 1n the "city room " Lunches were also a favorite during fifth and six t h hours and we ate everything from popcorn to eggrolls

Most agreed it was all " awesomen1mity to the max , " but we still wondered "what was reality" anyway

Deadline day was always lurking around the corner During these frantic periods , unsuspecting students passing by C-38 were assu lted by half-mad journalists scurrying around the room yelling , "Who has a pica ruler?" and " Where ' s the wh1te-out?I " And what 1f the layout wasn ' t done on time?

J Seniors delve further into the mysteries of science

The subjects of Math and Science can be found in the infamous B building The all sen io r science class known as Science Seminar can also be found here . This class dug further past the information gathered in Chemistry to other aspects of science including exploring alternative energy sources , organic chemistry , genetics and even astronomy . Kyle C arri tte said , " Science Seminar is extremely interesting , but it's a lot of work ." A big part of Science Seminar was doing independent projects Students were responsible for all aspects of their project ; in fact many felt the class crammed too much work into a short space of time Lauren Barnett felt , " It is really hard I'm glad I took it

though It gives you an idea of what college is going to be about." In summing up her feelings about the class , Carritte commented that , "selling jolly ranchers is disgusting and so are hydrocarbons " On the lighter side of Science Seminar , Carritte, however, did say , " when we were doing wind energy it was fun because we got to do things like fly kites and sail sailboats "

The students that were in Science Sem inar felt that they had gained much by having taken the class It seems as though the students were satisfied and the class proved to be a good one Gretchen Rasmussen stated , "I've learned alot , however , organic chemistry will turn you into a mole ."

On th e numerical side of academia , th e math team sponso r s , Bob Hayes and Elaine Fitzgerald , spent time work i ng with those so inc lined These studen t s who flew through math problems as opposed to most people who stumbled along , reaped the benefits of a successful team e ff ort

" This was the first time that our school has been in the math league since I have been here ," commented Fitzgerald

The team consis t ed of eighteen seniors , six juniors a nd five sophomores .

The top members of th e l eague were senior Craig Barber , junior Sheri Fredrick and sophomores Jenny Corbet , John Card and Valerie Gebhardt.

For a variety of classes , a student could look towards the Math and Science departments Kris Henkel took Chemistry because he enjoyed science and wanted to go further into the subject. " It makes it easier for the career I might want to go into ."

The diversity of classes was an asset for Pat Scott also . " By taking science classes , I can see if science is realoy the field I want to go into ."

Courses in science ranged from

Physical Science to Physics 11and the same variety could be found in Math

A wide choice of math classes was welcomed by Debbie Lunn ; she briefly commented , " I want the Math background because it is my favorite subject. "

Tools of the trade teach

To most students, the east end of A building was virtually unknown, it was only visited at registration But some people spent many productive and relaxing hours 1n the VT rooms Upholstery and woodworking classes , as well as drafting, enabled students to plan and build proJects for themselves, and often the work proved to be fun Although some people enrolled 1n these classes for pre-vocational tra1n1ng, most Technical Arts students took the courses for enJoyment But all found that Tech Arts helped them to become wise consumers

For example , all types of Upholstery classes, 1n addition to aiding 1n the production of proJects , enabled students to recognize a well-made piece of furniture Also , these classes allowed the students to perform their own home repair According to instructor Steve Rusch , after four weeks of required projects , the independent work included "reupholstering car seats and chairs, stripping and rebuilding old furniture ," as well as "making new furniture " The freedom of choice involved in project selec t ion made it easy for each student to opt for his own future wants and needs, whether it was for career or personal use

The projects constructed 1n Wood classes also proved to teach the importance of va luing quality furniture Wood pieces constructed ranged from boxes , bowls, and candleholders, to cabinets, waterbeds, and even a grandfather clock According to Rusch, no previous knowledge of woodwo r king was required to take the beginning course T his meant that the benefits of the class were open to any in t erested student. These people, like those in upholst ery classes, could choose the p roject they felt would bes t fulfill t heir woodworking wan t s .

Ano t her Tech Arts class o f fered,

and probably the most popular one, was Architectural Drawing Drafting projects included des1gn1ng and making plans for a house , feasible for the student to someday construct This class, too, said teacher St a n H aje k , was aimed at the " general education " of students The course helped people recognize quality design and construction , useful knowledge for future consumers

Of course , for anyone interested in a career 1n these areas, the courses prepared them for their future work For example, upholstery led the way to "side employment , or one's own upholstering business , " commented Rusch And woodworkers could go into cabinetmaking or carpentry Some drafting students planned careers in architecture and interior design , while people in Technical Drawing could prepare to go into the engineering field So Tech Arts classes proved to be preparatory

The shop courses, in addition , were much fun Both students and teachers enjoyed the time spent in class, because of the relaxing atmosphere Class members could find assistance in their projects from other students, as well as from the instructor The work was also soothing Rusch noticed that many students were able to leave behind the problems they had outside of class while concen t rating on their crafts

Tech Arts classes allowed many things to happen for students, they could produce valuable projects, have some fun, and prepare for the future, both vocationally and for consumer purposes Although instructors would liked to have seen higher enro ll ment in their courses , especially from girls , upholstery , woodshop, and drafting classes succeeded in pleasing most of the s tu dents who participated

S tud en t s left shop with a general feeli n g of accomplishment. After one hou r of hard work a sophomore said , " T his c l ass 1s hot! "

Making wheels turn

If you liked working with bi g mac h i nes , t i nkering w i th c ars and welding rod s, or making c omputers , ac c ord i ng to the Voe-Tech teachers all you needed was a logical and scientific mind and the will to work And sometimes all it took was the desire to make things bl ink , flash , and go " putt-putt ."

The east side of A-building housed a nest of bustl i ng a c tivity Students taking VT cla sse s found themselves doing everything from learning to c h a nge the oil in a c ar, to making alum inum mugs , to s ending mors e c ode messages around the world The Auto Me c hanic s , Metal Worki ng , and Ele c tron ic s shops were all very well equipped with expensive, modern equipment. Though sophomores were filled with rumors of ghastly a c c idents , all the teachers were more than cautious about safety requirements The shops were full of students , and if the department had the budget (a familiar tale), the shops would all have been expanded to hold more students

Gym prepares students for spo rts

Gym From lifting weights to playing basketball to gymnastics, many students found themselves involved 1n the various act1v1t1es taught by the Physical Education Department Most of the students enJoyed the escape that PE brought from the everyday gnnd of homework and tests to help themselves prepare for upcoming sports 1n which they hoped to do well

There were numerous reasons for taking PE , but one of the most prominent reasons was Just because they liked 1t When asked why she took PE , junior Deanne Clark replied, " To prepare myself for soccer and Wilco x wanted me to ."

Senior Greg Drain , however , said, " I took 1t because it ' s an easy A "

When approached with the same question, Bobby Michael , a senior , said , " There was nothing else to do "

Meanwhile senior Jim Harris said " I took 1t because I don ' t do anything else to keep me 1n shape "

While some students didn ' t learn a who le lo t , others felt that PE helped them to learn a few t hings about themselves When asked what she learned , Clark said wi t h a laugh , " I learned how weak I am "

M ichelle P rac ht , Junior , s aid , " I learned how to lift weights ··

Michael , on the other hand , said that he learned some of the te c hniques involved 1n different sports

Most students who took PE felt that they benefited by taking PE He casually replied , " PE helped me to prepare for track while rt also kept me 1n shape ."

Pracht said , "I feel that rt helped me to prepare myself for the sport s that I part1c1pate 1n "

Clark said that her PE c lass prepared her for soccer and " It made my legs stronger too "

While some found relief on the weekends from the day to day routines of classes and homework , others found escape by taking one , or maybe even two or three , of the vaned courses of PE Though some learned a lot and others only learned a little , without PE, some people ' s days might not have been complete To all of the students who took PE, rt was indeed a worthwhile class , for it gave them relief from the drudgery of homework , and helped them to achieve the experience they needed for sports

Could you have typed dysprosium metempsychosis or thermodynamics 1n two seconds? Well , the students 1n Typing Four could and in fact, they had done even better than that Their exercises had been known to contain such collegiate words that even a professor would have stumbled at their meanings

"It's not that hard tor these kids They have gradually advanced through the typing classes and so this class isn ' t hard for them It's Just like anything else, it's not as hard as you think 1t will be, " explained Louise McKelvy, the newest add1t1on to the business staff

Perhaps, 1f typing was not your bag , then maybe you would have liked to answer phones for credit That's nght, Office Occupations of-

fered students a chance to become familiar with the business world The class familiarized students with reception , accounting, and other assorted business skills

"The name tends to scare students off but it ' s really a worthwhile class " said G ail O ' N ei l.

The business department offered yet another field, the Distributive Education or DE This class gave students the chance to become involved 1n the business world The class was concerned with the outer surfaces of the Job world Instead of having read material on business Jobs , the students were able to work at a job for credit This gave them the experience that so many employers require Students found these courses to be valuable

Taking care of business

Learning how to manage and make a budget , to use a ten-key electri c cal c ulator and learning your personal rights as a consumer were just a few topics that were covered in the wide spectrum of the Business Department. Business classes were designed to help students become aware of and prepared for jobs they may encounter in the future Classes ranged from Office Machines to Personal Law and most students agreed that although the names may have been obscure and the work tedious , the classes were worthwhile and will be beneficial in future years . Accounting and Bookkeeping were all a part of Accounting I. Accounting dealt with analyzing data gathered in previous books and figuring out how to make future profit,

however, Bookkeeping kept track of money and profit already earned

To some students , Accounting just didn ' t seem all that thrilling, so instead they took a class that taught them their

individual rights This class was Personal Law Students visited a courthouse and sat in on a criminal case .

How else could you have gotten one full credit for just having a job? By being in Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) FBLA was a club which met before some of us even thought of being at school. To qualify to be in FBLA one simply had to hold a job and take one business class The club not only offered one credit for working , but also allowed students to demonstrate the skills they mastered in an annual FBLA contest held each spring. Competition was judged in areas such as typing and telephone etiquette as well as many others Club members so l d candy and Spook-o-grams to raise money for traveling expenses Besides competing , FBLA offered "a wider range of experience and job opportunities ," according to M ic h elle M on is.

The F. F.A. does its share

The east end of " A" building was unexplored territory to most students. The only useful purpose it seemed to serve was a short-cut to Pik-Kwik or Daylight Donuts Yet among the maze of halls in that area of the school was located one of the most productive , and sadly enough, misunderstood programs Golden had to offer

The Vocational Agriculture department, run by Earl Tupps and Steve Gaylord, also incorporated Future Farmers of America, and Rodeo Club into their curriculum The belief that only " cowboys" had anything to gain by this program was an age-old fantasy, to say the least. Although it was true that they spent much time on farming and its techniques, the theories learned in this program could be applied to other areas of study Forestry and land management were just two of the many areas to which the plant and soil study of the class could be applied . Among the many activities the clubs participated in was the annual Golden High Rodeo

The award-winning National Reserve Livestock Judging Team included - Coach Steve Gaylord , Lorie Li~dicoat, Michelle Swisher, Gale Baughman, and M ike Holland

Rodeo Club consisted of - Back -Jeff Smith, Mike Nankervis, Mike Holland , Lori McBride , Julie Holtzinger, Earl Tupps (advisor) , Front -Robyn Bonnifield , Lorie Liddicoat, Martha Skelton , Larry Horton, Michelle Swisher, Michelle Browne

Community's roots unique

The students and f ac ult y of GHS had always differed from the people at other area high schoo ls Golden's sense of commu nity con tr ibu ted t o i t s uniqueness , a number of stude nts , as well as a few teachers , were th i rd generation Goldenites For example, Betty Robbins ' g r andparents l ive d 1n Golden , and although her family strayed from t he community, " We ' ve always returned to our home "

Women seize leadership roles

Women Today ' s leaders and perhaps tomorrow' s leaders too , that ' s what Barb Boyd, Beth Connolly, Teresa Nelson, Lisa Schmidt, and Tina Nusse seemed to symbolize thi s year .

When asked if she felt she could contribute more than a guy could to her work as yearbook editor, Boyd replied that she could do just as mu c h but in different way s She also said " I feel that I could be just as aggress ive in my work as a guy could ."

It is known that most of the positions such as yearbook editor , newspaper editor, senior class president , student body pres i dent , honor society president and many others were held by males in 197980 , but these positions were quickly replaced by females in 1980-81 When asked how she felt about this, Connolly , Honor Soc iety president , said , " That's great. I think it shows that women at Golden High School are being given a chance "

Student Body President Tina Nusse was then asked the same question . She replied , " I feel that better things are being done At least this year we ' re getting some-

thing accomplished ."

Schm i dt, editor of the newspaper, said , when asked to de s cribe her feel ings about the unprecedented slew of female leaders , declared , " I think it demonstrates the ob v ious superiority of the female It's about time we've had some women in leadership roles at GHS , and I think the school is better because of it. "

Nelson , senior class pres ident, said that she thinks it ' s great. "We don ' t get as much respect as the guys , but the work is getting done ."

Connolly said that she feels " by starting now, in getting these positions in high school , we're preparing ourselves for the future "

According to Schmidt, " Women today are taking more and more initiative to become powerful in a society which has been dominated by men for too long Females are not afraid to try new ventures , and that ' s why- they succeed ."

By taking over the positions that men have held for so long , women have prepared themselves for the future and also proved to many that women are equal, and in some cases , superior to men

With a little luck

The student's senior year is a door to adventure: whether the student trudges on to college , marches into the military, or jumps into marriage , he or she must decide which plunge to take

Some are already gingerly exploring careers by attending the Warren Technical Center Ronnette Vance is utilizing Warren's resources by preparing for a cosmetology career In another area, Kris Hinkel attended Warren for two years specializing in auto mechanics

in the coast guard

Other students decided to take the ultimate plunge and pursue married life after high school. Grant Holycross planned to postpone the wedding bells until 1983 Several others planned weddings following graduation. Most seniors , however, directed their lives in more normal channels and began casing college campuses In state or out of state colleges, financial aid and various career majors were only a few of the monumental decisions to be made

Senior Randi Samuelson chose to leave her old stomping grounds, and headed for out of state colleges She planned to study foreign language in Minnesota Parents, faculty , and friends each had their inand planned on a career fluence on these grads

Other students chose to explore the country's military opportunities While looking for a few good men the Marine Corp spotted Kelly Webb, and offered him a career in aeronautics Allen Williams looked to the waves

One of the many Mines buildi ngs in Golden beckons to future college attenders Only those with good math and science skills brave registration

Some graduates prefer to travel , while others take up jobs in auto-mechanics

Even though it is only a class project dressing up for a wedding can make two people uncertain about the real thing

Kelly Webb looks forward to the military and finds it hard to keep · his mind on his books at school.

After graduation it is time for many students to cut the family strings and explore life on their own Roses are a common sight at graduation and a few sentimental students will press them for f uture enjoyment.

Seniors query benefits of final school year

When students thought of senior year, one of the first things they looked forward to was how easy the,r class schedule was going to be More often than not, this was untrue The so-called "light schedule" frequently turn ed into a sudden cra mming for credits. According to senior Steve Korthuis, a student's last year is "twice as hard I felt like calling in a sub for myself.''

All of a sudden , seniors saw college looming ahead and the reality of accumlating necessary credits meant working hard Getting that extra English credit was not as easy as it seemed Besides this, Michelle Monis felt it was harder because ''yo u're working to try to save money for college and at the same time you're trying to fit in required credits." More classes coupled with increased responsibilities made seniors wonder why they thought they could breeze through their last year. If a student ' s grade point average had not been up to par during his --

sophomore or j unior year, the senior year was the one that had to carry the we ight. Some, like Tim McDonald, had an added problem "I ca me a year late so I have to take other classes j u s t to graduate beside s classes for co llege, " he said

As hard as senior year may have been for some, the case of the last year for others sometimes j ust d i d not seem fa ir Those three " simple '' classes that a few lucky seniors enjoyed were envied by many who thought they too would relax with a relat ive I y unbothersome twelfth grade year One of the " lucky ones " was Teri Anschutz, who said her senior year was "easi er because I had most of my requirements already, so I took easier classes."

Some felt senior year depends on how well they had planned for it as sophomores Others felt it was just luck . Whichever was true , if a student wa s lucky enough to have an easier senior year, he would surely appreciate every moment of this bliss and relaxation

Seniors enjoy unique tasks

Why do otherw1de normal , sane students subject themselves to slave labor? What is it that motivates G HS seniors to become student assistants? The most common answers to this question were , " The class I wanted for that penod was filled ," or , " I was asked to by the teacher " Some students disc ussed their different duties for teachers

Assistant De De Brewer said that she was Dee Wilson's aide because , " I like Dee really well and after this year I won ·t see her too often .··

Michelle Pazar who was Cheryl Goings' aide enjoyed her position because, "It gives me a sense of responsibility , an obligation "

Kord Kelley, assistant for John Kellenbenz, stated, "I do extra jobs and shovel a lot of sand . "

Karen Carlsen's aide , Jenny Sitzman, asserted that, "I help out because I enjoy it, not just to get a credit. It isn ' t much, but it's fun "

Veteran assistant Jerry Blevins, aide to Dave Fairbanks, gave some extremely suspicious answers to the usual interview questions When asked why he was Fairbanks' aide he asked a passing Brian Doty, "Should I tell the truth? " Blevins then went on to mention that he went on occasional "mis">ions ," but he failed to elaborate on the nature of said missions And , when asked 1f he had any unusual tasks to perform he sheepishly replied, "Yeah , but I can't tell you what they are " Obviously , there was something sinister afoot up in E-1

Overall, the student assistant busi1 ness is thriving even if the tasks are somewhat questionable

Seniors find time to pork

The favorite pastime , hobby and preoccupation of seniors was not studying or socializing . Instead, the class of ' 81 tended to enjoy the more gastronomic elements of hfe

By fourth hour, the groaning of 400 stomachs reached a feverish pitch as droves of seniors skyrocketed out of class , to their cars and into the nearest fast food haven The pitiful cry, " I'm sooo hungry" became an hourly chant at GHS

What were seniors' favorite foods? Surprisingly, the fantasy cuisine of most students did not fall under the junk food category.

Both Teri Anschutz and Leslie Engel adored lasagne. Engel liked the Old Country's variety, while Anschutz could rave for hours about the "garlic tast, red tomato sauce , piles of noodles , mounds of cheese ."

Marty Coelho loved " big , juicy three- inch steaks, " and , next to Na c ho Cheese Doritos , Ralph Mitchell professed a fondness for pnme rib , " medium rare, of course "

Pizza was undoubtedly the most popular food enjoyed by the senior class Jodi Ludwig, Robert Dom inguez and Betty Robbins all shared a passion for this delectable dish, as did Kylie Carritte.

Tim McDonald, Pat Hager and David Fleming all expressed a love for seafood , and Hager reminisced about an incredible evening he spent at Thompson's Clam Bar in Massachusetts "I ate one hundred steamers in butter sauce that night , and that was just the entree! "

The maJor consensus of the senior class , however, was expressed by Lea Anthony: ' ' Every food is my favorite food!"

18 year olds face the world

Seniors Sample Adulthood

Throughout all of the high school years, one thought seems to preoccupy seniors more than any other, even graduatio n-t urn ing 18 For many students, turning 18 meant taking a grip upon adulthood

Eighteen year olds faced many , many more problems now than they did ten years ago Stude nts came of age in a world fraught with difficult choices and an abun dance of options Moving out or living at home, studying or partying, working or going to college were just a few of the decisio ns that had to be made by eighteen year olds

Reaching that magic age also ope ned up some new doors that led to a va riety of fun and exciting experiences 3.2 beer seemed to be the hot item for those who liked to "d r ink a few " and still live to talk about ,t.

The privilege of voting was ano ther new adventure bestowed upon those born before November

4 Many mixed feelings were expressed by those young voters who chose to cast a vote Bill Coit said he had to vote for Anderson because "he was the best debater ." Opinions were also felt by those who didn't.

From the depths of the counseling center , DeDe Brewer had this to say about adulthood "I t 1s really convenient that I turned eighteen on the year of the presidential election ; too bad my birthday happened to be eight days after the election Now it'll be four years before I can exercise this new pr ivilege Well , I guess if that duty has failed me , I should turn to 3 2 beer, but that stuff tastes terrible

" In fact," she said, "a fter graduation , I suppose the redeeming effects of being eighteen will become more noticeable . Until then , being eighteen sure hasn ' t changed my life much ."

Seniors rough it in the hills

For s eniors Tina Nusse, Tim Lind, and Pam Smith , Outdoor Lab proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of their sen i or year Yet for the s e sen i ors it was the last time for them to enjoy a week of fun and adventure in helping s ixth graders learn about nature

All in all , their activities ranged from conduct i ng c las ses to square dancing and yes, even to reading bedtime stories Since they served as c ounselors too , they were asked to describe how they li ked the job of counseling the kids Lind replied , " Oh it was pretty neat. I like any power posit i on though Especially if I get called ' Mr. Lind '."

Nusse also thought it was great. " It was fantastic! The kids are so open minded and willing to learn ."

Sm ith , also in agreement with Lind and Nusse added " It's good ex perience to see if you want to be a teac her or not. "

When asked what experience they gained from working with the kids , Lind said , " A basic idea of what it takes , not only to teach them

someth ing , but to keep them 'entertained ' and i n l i ne at the same t ime "

In re s ponse to this quest i on Smith said , " The sixth graders are honest and open and you can learn a lot from them "

Nusse , however , replied , " I learned a little of how the si x th grade mind works and it's really quite abstract. "

Though most went to Outdoor Lab to get away from school , Nusse said , " It ended up being one of the most challenging weeks of my life ."

Lind explained , " I turned to a desire to work with younger kids , as I may do someth ing along that li ne for a career ··

For all three of these seniors , Outdoor Lab turned out to be one of the most thrilling and exciting weeks in all of their high school years So whether it was to get away from school or just to enjoy themselves , all who journeyed to the mountain ~ agreed that it was indeed an experience they they would not forget for a long time to come

It always seems that Seniors can find time to do whatever it is they like to do , whether it's practicing a favorite sport, or just taking it easy

Among the many activities that Seniors did during the i r free time, was work, either to help pay tor college , or to have spending money for a weedend date

Tests tax brains

Seniors spent a great deal of time filling out forms for colleges as well as ACT and SAT applications.

One student said that the ACT applications asked everything from your sock size to your moral convictions, and added, they weren't hard , just tedious

Lori Stroud said, "The ACT application asked some really absurd ques,.....-

tions , like , how would you Ii ke to be an eyeg I ass grinder, o.- how do you feel about mowing lawns "

Lisa Zinke said, " It takes too much time ; face it , life 1s just a bunch of paper work "

All in all most seniors thought the applications asked silly questions that didn't pertain to the test. But on the other hand there will be more tests in college.

Opportunity builds foundation for growth

While most students were busy writing reports , studying for finals , and running from A to E-building between c lasses, a few worked diligently parttime or all day at the Warren Occupational Technical Center Warren Techers did not have it easy , however They too had tests, studies , and hard work at Warren ; but when the tasks were in a class that trained a person for a career in an area he enjoyed , the learning was easy

Warren 's opportunities ranged from plumbing to child care Computer occupations, upholstery , and auto mechanics were also among the many courses offered One hundred and thirty-two Goldenites were registered at the Center. Most had plans to be mechanics , but Golden represented quite a variety of interests for future employment seekers

Although some classes at Warren lasted longer than a regular school day, the students could think of mar. 1 advantages over high school. Not onl y was there just one class to worry about. but " the bathrooms at Warren don ' t feel l ike prisons, " as Heidi Vigil casually stated With high hopes of being a cosmetologist, she liked being able to meet all kinds of people and work with hair, something she felt only Warren could provide the setting for Steve Lefrancois studying the more delectable details of the restaurant business, considered the food to be the best thing about Warren Tech

This kind of career preparation was not the ideal situation for every student , but for someone tired of the usual c lassroom grind, the offer at Warren for a job without further formal education was too good to pass up

Senioritis strikes again: looks like another epidemic

It happens every y ear at Golden H i gh Sc hool , and th is year was no ex c ept ion The graduating class ( i n this -c ase " 1981 ") goes crazy , and there ' s obvious reason After twelve years of school they ' re f i nally gett i ng out.

Since you only graduate from high school once (there are a few ex ceptions) the last year should be the best. So as a senior you give it your all , and why not? In fact you d i d earn it. After years of endless studying and i nfinite hours of homework, you have finally reached your goal. At last you ' re no longer the follower but the leader.

There were many views on how it feels to be a senior. For example, Mike Nogues said , " It's the greatest feeling knowing that you have one year left "

Diana Dotsch felt it was "exuberant. "

Others like Kelly Boogren sa i d , it was " exciting and scary at the same time "

Kathy Meyers said , " Now you know which way the doors open .' '

Athletically inclined Seniors, shoot their way to the top.

Outstanding athletes needed to be recognized in the way that they were athletically inclined in certain sports Many of the coaches were asked their opinion of the most outstanding players and how they got where they are today .

Bob Dameron was an outstanding golfer and Holley Morris without a doubt was a top golfer , not just in Colorado, but in the United States , according to Coach Bob Stokes. In basketball, Coach Stokes said, " All six Seniors could play college

ball in on e way or the other-no o n e stand s above another, they a re all equally potential. "

Coach Marilyn Wilcox s a i d she had many great gymnasts There were many all around athlete s Wil c o x also said , " The s e girls are good becau s e of their own natural ability and drive , attitude alway s is a big part "

Coach Bob Stecklein said Ray Hiatt, Derrick Vasquez, and Toby Condreay are athletic , and pot e nt ial in college sports

Graduates enjoy freedom

For some seniors the thought of getting out of high school and going straight on to college without some kind of special break was inconceivable

A few lucky seniors contemplated going to Europe or other foreign countries

Todd Katz said , " I' m fed up with all this school junk. It's Europe and good times for six months .' '

Cathy Wharton said on the verge of tears , "If I don ' t get far away for a while , I know I' ll end up in the funny farm ."

For others it was just a little bit different. Mark Minor intends to go to " Los Angeles

to sell Indian jewelry on the beach ."

A not so inventive Bob Dameron wanted to go "to Arizona to live , work , and bum for a year so I can get instate tuition "

All these "sick of school" seniors and most others planned on going to college but needed something specia l before going on to four more years of study After all, nothing seemed wrong about going crazy for just a few months , especially after one ' spent twelve long years studying in order to get some time to themselves

Pondering life from 'pedestal'

"Something's wrong no one met me at the front door on the first day of school and gave me a pedestal. "

Cammi Ditmore's bewildered complaint expressed just one of the many views which seniors held concerning their final year in high school. Certainly the senior year was the most keenly anticipated period of a student ' s education

Once the twelve-year climb to the top was completed and the dust had settled , however, many seniors discovered the intrusion of an element they hadn't expected-the untimely necessity of having to plan for the future Liz Barringer reflected that her senior year "wasn't at all what I had expected Everything is centered around college now . There are a lot of pressures "

This year ' s crop of seniors also learned that there is often a big difference between a sophomore 's expectations and the real thing

120/ Pondering life from 'pedestal ' (

Tim McDonald's expectations, on the other hand , turned out to be pretty accurate " I thought my last year would be harder than previous ones I looked forward to not having to take any flak except from teachers and bigger students."

And what about the future that unavoidably looms ahead of every member of the class of '81? Most seniors looked forward to graduation , but the abyss beyond the diploma seemed faintly menacing to most. Jim Harris reported that he was nervous for the future , because " high school is definitely safer than the wide, wide world " Barringer remarked that "this isn't real, its not part of life ."

Pazar stated that "college is so close but I want it to be far away. "

Ditmore , however, summed up the basic sentiment of the class when she replied that she did look forward to getting out. " The walls are going out now instead of closing in ."

Th is pamphlet asks the question which plagues every senior: '' What do I do after graduation? " Answers ranged from college to jobs

Prom or bust

Controversy hits any conversation concerning Council. " They don 't talk to us ; we don 't have any idea what they are doing ." becomes one major argument. Another might be , " They ' re great! I'm behind them all the way ." Of course, if a dreamy-eyed junior girl is asked about Council the response would probably be , " Oh Gus is just adorable! "

However, Student Counc il , and especially the Junior Class offi ce rs , dealt with much more than impressing their constituents It was common knowledge that the Junior Class sponsors the Senior Prom each year. Gus Canaday , President ; Frank Cavanaugh , VicePre sident ; and Tammy Dokey, Secretary / Treasurer, had to concen trate on pulling their class together for successful fund raisers . Towards the beginning

of the year , everyone, including the officers themselves, seemed worried Nevertheless, the three got themselves organized and arranged brand new fund raising projects To make the necessary money for Prom , Canaday be came a booking agent for Walt Disney (arid cleared a tidy profit) , by showing " The Jungle Boo k'' to several elementary schools . The little kids ate it up , and the Junior Class officers were one step closer to Prom Beca use of hard-working efforts as Sophomores , the Juniors started the year with a hefty account. Therefore , they did not have to kill thems e Ives After the success of " The Jungle Book", and the super support of the class , Prom turned out beautifully The officers felt that it was all due to the class as Dokey put it.

Juniors are challenged

Some of the classes that Juniors took were exceptionally difficult because they couldn't understand the course content. Each considered a different sub}ect as their worst

Both Kelly Atkinson and Kim Patten agreed Physics was hard ; the reason they felt they had such trouble was because they didn ' t understand the cou rse work or assignments

Jana Gillum had a difficult time 1n

What's Your Pleasure.

Dating was a critical part of being a Junior Each person found many different qualities important in se le cting a date

Lisa Smith said her guys " mu st have a good personality , nice hair , and a nice derrier " (Who ' s to Judge?)

On the other hand, Cathy Cisneros said, " I like football players ' bodies ."

Tom Driscoll said his girls must have blonde hair, a nice personality, and give a lot of attention.

Donny Kerber looked for a girl that had a nice personality, a great body, and didn 't smoke

130 / What's your pleasure

The junior girls were mostly concerned with looks , and a great body

The guys seemed to look for more qualities such as personality, and reputations .

Kelly Mayo said the guys she went out with had to be fun to be around

What does Julie Thorpe seek? Looks, money , and a car

Bernie Kubistek 's opinion was probably the most unique Kubistek wants "a whole heck of a lot" in his dates

It looks like " Hot Ups" Donny Kerber catches the eye o f Lisa Smith .

Two lovers amble down the hall after a long day of studying Curt Tisdel and Adrienne Benjamin , are happy w i th each other's qualiti es Bernie Kubistek takes time out to enJoy other th ings in life

See above the clouds

Mo st who are tall liked be i ng tall They said that they were looked up to and that they were respe c ted i n the crowded halls

Most agreed that height is a great help in s ports As Pam Coronado put it, "Tallness is priceless ."

For the guys dating was not really a prob l em, since they did not need to worry about being shorter th an the girls Of co urse being tall had i ts setbacks

Have you ever wondered why people rolled up their sleeves? For Cliff White , 6'1 ", sleeves were too short. Finding long pants that tit at the wa ist was a problem that arose

time after time Pat Sanner, 6 '2", said his feet hung off the bed and froze at night. Sanner also experienced cramped legs under midget library tables

Because of growing so fast Robby Dorman , 6 ' 2½" , had problems with sore knees

Most s tately students said they would like to be taller, but Eric Harrison and Sanner disagreed Harrison said " Being so tall, 6 ' 4½", you feel like you 're not normal. It seems like everyone is always staring at you ." Sanner said he would just rather be heavier Mostly the students with their heads above the clouds felt the view was terrific .

Pat Sanner hovers over Don Newcomb

Pam Coronado finds she must do deep knee bends in order to reach books on low shelves

Robby Dorman does an alley-oop C liff White practices up on his sharp shooting

What's next?

Is there life after high school? Obviously the answer is " yes ."

Golden juniors looked to a variety of careers and educations in their future plans

Diane Zirkel planned to be a social worker, a probation officer, or a worker basically to serve the public

Tom Gaffigan had different ideas " I plan to go to acting school in California to get my

Snow Wars

A s mos t people know , s now is an i mportant commod ity here i n Colorado Es pe cia lly to the ski areas, who are totally dependent on a hefty snowfall each year for their i n su red s uccess When the s kiers are done w i th it , i t then produ ces the water needed to keep our lawn s green all s ummer, as wel l. In fact , so me people chose to use the fir st snowf~II as the sta rt of winter, rather than the De cem ber 2 1 " deadline " se t by some socia lis ti c government years ago We at Golden too , have our own method o f initiating in the i cy season "

Snowball throwing is strictly forb i dden , and s hall be dealt w i th seve rely ." Ah , yes, when the hall nng s joyously with thi s warm announcement we can be s ure the Christmas season is nearly upon us

Yet , what is so wrong w i th snowball throwing ? Remember when we were but wee tot s, and our mothers would send us outside to build snow forts in the middle of a blizzard , because she wa s ti red of hearing " I don 't have anything to do ?" So we built these wonderful forts , complete w ith wall - to - wall carpeting , and an occ asional wet bar, but that's be s ide the point. The actual emphasis is , we d idn ' t build them to protect ourselves from verbal abuse We built them to protect ourselves from the onslaught of snowballs that was expecte d from the fort perched in the next yard The point bein g we grew up with snowballs, like apple p i e and Chevrolet. Just like the romantic handfuls of snow down your.y ladies ' backs that we all love so much Entire relation s hips have been sparked by such occurrences It's the American way

So here we ' re put , i n a six build i ng school, with no inside way between any two of them We 're then expected to trudge through the masses of white stuff, and stifle our inborn desire to stuff a handful in someone ' s face Come now, kids will be kids

Looking at this logically , what exactly is a snowball ?

Water, really cold water

And you can hardly drown in a snowball, r i ght ? Right.

Even delicate sno w angels aren ' t protected from " Sa tan " snowb allers

Wh at's w orse tha n throwing rocks or snow? Rocks with snow on them , of course

The ammo dump of an in tensive s tr ike force

Leaders claim, ''War on prom going well!''

As the masses of in co m ing sophomores inhabit the halls each year, the student council must undertake the task of sift ing through the hoards to find a responsible trio to lead the c lass in i ts finan ci al and "s p ir itual " obligations. Sometimes they find people who are eager to get involved , and occasionally the higher-ups must resort to bribes to find the needed leaders. It is , in fact, a d ifficult decision , whether to present yourself to your peers for acceptance, when you 've just arrived at a new school , with a class made up of primarily people you hardly know . Yet one way , or another, the class of ' 83 found the ir first year leaders , and have already made an admiral start towards their monotary goals, for next year's prom

Heading up the class officers , was Brian Brill. " I had a great urge to become involved with the ·executive' goings-on within the school ," Brill noted as to the reason he became involved with the council. When asked if he intended to co nt inue with his obligations. " We ' ll see what the books look like at the end of the yea r , then decide, " was h is " logical " conc lusion .

Kelly Higgins undertook the job of vice president, " to help enhance school spirit ," and also expressed a desire to get invo lved in the school, as the primary reasons for accepting her position

Finally, Anne Hines kept track of those ever impo r tant dollar signs and minutes for the class. " I think we need a great deal of work on overall school atmosphere, " was Hines ' summa rization of campus life , " and this is as good a way as any to help the school as a whole ."

All noted that s tudent council always looks good on college trans c ripts, and , that their c lass was the best to come along in years (Have we heard that before?)

Sophomores navigate through tides of time

The transit ion from Junior high to high school was a hard one , but mos t sophomores found their first experience at high schoo l filled with up s and downs ranging from adjustments to new regulations and new faces , to firs t time loves or heartbreaks.

High school also offered even more important benefits on a simpler level. The c ampus layout wa s a large part of the greater feelings of independen ce This , plus the fact that one c an leave whenever one wants is expla ined by E i leen Deutsch , a former Bell Bobcat , who said, " The open campus 1s great , but the best part 1s that you ' re able to go out to lun c h !"

Gary Boteler, formerly a student of Golden Junior High , felt that high school allowed one to "s traighten up their act " with increased libert ies.

This theory was debatable The mos t co mmon thought held among sophomores, 1n cl ud1ng Melan ie Marquardt , wa s that " there i s mu c h more freedom here and no bells ."

Besides these assets , Mark Cook looked towards other things offered such as a " bigger variety of women ." On the same note Leanne Paez found " more guys to choose from ."

On the whole , sophomores learned much from their tenth grade year. Even though 1t d i d not always seem easy, they made it. Now that they are ready to move on to their junior year, sophomores look ba c k on t heir first year of high school and realize ,t was a unique experience they will never forget.

Love opinions differ

Along with the new freedom sophomores enJoyed 1n their first year at Golden , the class of '83 took an expanded interest in members of the opposite sex There was a larger select1 on of people to choose from , because of the merger of three Junior high schools , the upperclassmen provided more choices for the sophomores as well But what qualities appealed to these hopeful young lovers?

For the mos t part , sophomore girls admired a good personality in their men Many of the girls liked outgoing guys , while others required a sense of humor Good looks came next. with a nice body ra t ing high Leanne Paez stated , " I like a guy who 's outgoing, but has a sense of humor Then I go for the eyes" Other girls felt similarly Sophomore boys responded quite differently , though Most guys wanted a good-looking girl wi t h a cute der-

riere Personality came later, quite low on the 11st. Artie Carr expressed a different op1n1on " A girl should be vivacious and personable Looks aren ' t as important, but a girl should have a pretty face and body '

The sophomore c lass at GHS had different op1n1ons of what was appealing 1n the opposite sex Some liked personality, while others went for the body But no matter what they liked , each student found someone to be with

JIs Drivers Ed an acciden t?

When you received your first permit, your mother insisted you had a lead foot while your dad complained about everything , yelling, " Didn't that Driver's Ed class teach you anything?"

Driver ' s Education was a popular class among sophomores Usually they were not quite 16 and had little experience

There were many reasons

why students liked the class For instance, Ale x Abel said "This is the best lunch period I've ever had " Some had parental influence , "My parents made me do it, " claimed Mary Mahone y.

Munchkins add variety

Short s ophomores Ar e they really s ophomore s or j u s t ' se vi es ' in disguise? Thi s year there were qu i te a few s hort s ophomores and , surprisingly , enough , s ome were proud of the ir lack of height wh ile others took a com ical v iew of themselves

Sophomore Artie Carr said that he didn ' t c on s ider h imself as short , but " I just feel like I' m folded in half." When a s ked how he felt about being s hort he repl i ed , " I feel e xtremely ins ignifi c ant and unknown However , I don ' t feel like a Napoleon ."

Sophomore Megan O'Connor said " I like being small because that's the way I am Yet when I' m with s omeone who ' s

taller than me , I feel li ke a c h i ld ."

Wh ile s ome were prouo of the ir height , others Ju st took it as a joke What di d the tall people th ink of them ? Senior Lisa Schmidt was quoted as saying " I think that they ' re c ute They make GHS worthwt-rne "

Many others were of the same opinion Yet junior Barb Mccallum s imply s a id " I was once one myself."

Though they added ~ tou c h of variety to Golden High , they also add ed c lass So whether sophomores were short or ta li it didn 't really matter, for they made Golden High School 's past year wort t1while .

Colorado born

The group of people that were born 1n the state , call themselves the natives , and , as Sandy Wethington says , " Natives are outgoing and intellectually enhanced " Another native , Lindi Woolhieser , gave the comment that , " Natives smile more because being born in Co l orado makes for a constant high " Liz Kauffman seems to think th at she has an easier time breathing , and is smarter because, '' I' m used t o th e pressure on my brain ."

The majority of non-natives might not always agree with the minority of Co l orado born and bred , but, one thing they ' ll all agree on is that Colorado is by far the best place to live

High school repre sented a big change for the incoming sophomores; many were not thrilled by the dras ·1c d ifferen ces

Stacey Coons had a problem with " remembering everything that was going on and everything you needed to get done ." Michelle Honeyman , however, felt P her life was burden ed by too much homework

A startling number of sophomores felt that math wa s the easiest thing about high school. Mo st, however, agreed that getting to know the people at school wa s the easiest phase of their growth

As usual , preferences were accompanied by demands for c hange The fifty-five minute class period was generally voted down in favor of forty or forty-five minute c lasses. The smoking area was also an area of conte ntion in that some were in favor of its abolishment while others pleaded for more comfort 1n its confines

Sue Smith summed up the general sophomore attitude about possib le school c hanges when she ecstatically crowed in a brief moment of insanity, " Just get nd of th e juniors and seniors and everything 's okay 1"

Anything goes from fishing to foods!

Believe it or not , faculty members did have lives outside of grading papers, lecturing , or tracking down missing persons

Each had his or her own way of spending free time Hobbies ranged from sports and needlework to culinary arts and co llections

One of our rough and rugged sportsmen was Dew a in Wood Much of his summer was spent canoeing and hiking He also devoted much of his vacation to sailing , as well as mountain climbing

T erri W a hlberg also had many interesting pastimes ; among these were sewing and tennis Her favorite , however, was dancing of all types She enjoyed Country / Western swing (as does Pat Payne and her husband) Wahlberg attended an aerobic dancing class with Ela i ne Fitzger a ld , where they could be seen performing various bizarre maneuvers

When asked about his hobby , John Klug characteristically, replied , " hobbies are for the dull of mind!" He said he had no hobbies and finds enjoyment in nothing This was during one of his calmer moods between classes . Hmm . . could this be the real Klug or just a comic facade?

Joe Murdock was one of Golden's hardy fourwheelers He spent most of his summer conquering the rugged terrain of the hills Also interested in vehicllng were Mike Anderson , and Julie Ser a fin , who enthusiastically hit the motorcycle trails The old cars must also be considered Chu ck Koch a n , John Kellenbenz , and Lou i se McKelvy all worked on antique cars in their spare time . McKelvy and her husband built several cars and drove them around town and in tours While these classics are priceless relics , they do have some distinct disadvantages in the modern world Imagine having to light one's headlights with a match or start the motor by painstakingly cranking it.

One of the more popular activities cited by teachers was , of course, skiing When Sam Petroff was asked for a picture of his priceless "snow plow " technique he protested , because , as he cried , "I go too fast! "

Jerry Rosenthal ' s philosophical reply to our question was , " hobby is too superficial." His free time was spent working on projects related to his profession, so he evidently felt that art should be classified on a higher level than hobbies .

Bob Hayes answered , " Magic, you know , ' Zeezo' and all that. " This amateur magician performed at parties and other special occasions Hayes ( otherwise known as Zeezo the Magnificent) entertained at the faculty Halloween Party and delighted weary river rats with his zany antics on junior raft trips

As for the fly fishers on campus, there were many Dick Bradsby said proudly, " I tie f lies" , a skill shared by Stan Hajek, Mike Mclellen , Mike O ' Dorisio , and Mike Math i s Some of Golden's ladies were also into the fisherperson ' s scene . Gail Hallberg and Louise Read frequented quiet mountain lakes and rivers to enjoy fly fishing

Obviously , GHS teachers we re more interesting than st udent s wou l d have believed Whether it was aerobic or "pick-a-card-any-card" magic tricks , the various hobbies that instructors indulged in during their free time proved that there was more to o u r teache rs than a figure at the blackboard Teachers could be f ound anywhere and everywhere if only you looked closely

Perhaps teachers shou ld be classified as fishers and skiers rather than lect ure rs

Teachers Rejec t Apples

Golden High school teachers , being the modernistic and up-to-date staff that they are, have progressed beyond the proverbial apple Chocolate seems to be high on the list of coveted delicacies While D ick Byrn e lives on Oreos , Elai n e Fitzge ra ld would be swayed by " a lot, a lot of brownies.' ' Barb a ra S ibold is also hooked on chocolate . The insatiable craving for this creamy tidbit which Cheryl Goings has been rumored to possess would be the answer to a briber's dream

Some , however, feel a craving for other delectable munchies . S a lly

Bl a n c h ar d is quoted as saying , "What I would do for a homemade , crunchy , peanut butter cookie!" G ai l O' Ne il prefers to get back to nature, and accepts only cashews and I or herbal teas Kar en C a rl sen is known to have an incurable desire for Coke and animal crackers

Although many teachers prefer not to limit themselves to a short range of " gift" munchies ( Dave Fairbanks , it is commonly known , consumes massive quantities of anything), you can usually discover personal preferences

Exploitation is then up to you

Pet peeves-what 'eats ' the teachers?

Most of the teachers had a common fru s tration-students who cheat on tests , but don't consider 1t that. However John Chapman did not agree '' How can they cheat, when the don't know anything? "

Barbara Sibold ' s main complaint was , " I don ' t like s t udents who call class ' dumb , boring, and stupid · "

Elaine Fitzgerald hated not having one classroom ; she demanded "a golf cart to replace an old backpack ." She went on to chastise those students who bring in " phony notes ." However , her one true hate is "lettuce ," or paper edges

" Turkey sounds in general ," topped Ross McClure ' s list of dislikes , " bad intonation and tone irritate me ," he continued . For feeding a pet peeve , there was always Mike Mathis He detested t he tardiness of students The culprit was forced to "g rease the bricks " T he tardy student was forced to put his nose in the corner of the room This was of course done with great embarrassment to the prosecuted student, but with humor to the class

Joan Jouett finds a great deal of humor in Lo w ell Sharp ' s last gasp attempt at a " hit" from an empty coffee pot , following a mentally draining discussion of Milton 1n Honors English A caffeine shot was later administered, and Sharp survived the ordeal.

A hypothesis an incredible

The idea has been discussed and disputed since the beginning of public school systems This controversial question bein g, " Are teachers really of the same origin as the rest of us (humans)? "

Some will laugh; the community, to say the least, is frightened

Follow this not so rare occurrence

Upon receiving an ' F ' on his term paper, (on which he had slaved for a good hour 1 and a half, not counting glances at " That's Amazing , America! " ) our illustrious student noted the vacuous smile with which his ' final blow ' was delivered He then observed the teacher to go on, and return the remainde r of the papers to their owners , and regardless of the grade , or the student, the expression on the teacher 's face never changed .

(Lack of emotions, hmmmmm, makes one wonder, and there 's more .)

Not only does that infuriating grin never leave their faces, there are other similarities from which only a trained eye could draw a reasonable conclusion . Take , for instance , the fact that they all drink coffee Not just 1n the morning, like Mom and Dad , but for

Yet, this report doesn ' t stop here Our cu nosi ty aroused, yearbook photographers risked life and limb to find the secret behind our teachers ' lives So , one cold evening , following a " faculty meeting " our daring trio followed an unsuspecting hoard of educators down through ' A ' building and into the cafeteria. Squeezing through a closing door, cameras 1n hand , they were able to record for the first time , on film , the horrifyingly sophisticated refngerat1on equipment used to store our faculty , before they were subdued by an angry janitor

When confronted with this startling evidence , Dr . " Supreme Commander" McLain , simply replied , " Isn 't it about time for a ooffee break? " Hmmmmmmmm

Myers takes a unique approach

Biz arre Messy Truly unique All are term s allegedly des c riptiv e o f social studies tea che r Roger Myers But Myers is much more than a tea c her Among the many activities Myers sponsored during the school year were the " Mighty Myers C hariot Races " and a variety of field trips related either to his classes or fun ctions i n our government.

This year marked the sixth annual chariot races ; according to Myers , " unnecessary violence and destruction draws crowds ." The 1977-78 champions , The Golden Wad , had a performance still unequa ll ed , but junior champs Chris Lietz and Todd Linder have high hopes of being the next superstars "We won it in '80 and will do it again ," said Lietz Buzz Davis plans to give Lietz and Linder tough competition .

One of the most exciting outings Myers plans each year is taking his Classical Civi lizations students to " All Star Wrestling " Of course, he does this for educational purposes only , "they're li ke well , they ' re like Gladiatorial Fights , " he says Also , the mobs of people and violen c e gave students a good idea of what life in ancient Greece or Rome

might have been like

A th i rd adventure led by M r s was the Urban Exploration program . Sophomores were trained to know the i nner parts of downtown Denver well enough to escort a group of seventh graders on their own

The Model United Nat io ns gro up went to Pueblo in February , and Greeley and Mesa College i n April. Students part ici pated in passage of bills as well as decisions on mo ck international problems

Surrounded by c rowds of admiring sophomores and dwarfed by flag s and i nnumerable poster s, Myers truly stood unique and i nnovat ive at GHS

Down and out

While many students headed home after school, some remained for countless hours of practice 1n a variety of sports Athletics was a major part of many student's lives , and athletes donated much of their time to the sport 1n which they participated While some may have part1c1pated 1n as many as three sports others were loyal to only one Goldenites practiced hard for many hours to achieve perfection, and at Golden , perfection was just around the corner Some 1nd1v1duals, as well as teams , qualified for state competition

What could be considered more "Amen- , can " than our ever cheerful , spirited young i ladies commonly referred to as "cheerlead- t ers ." Indeed , it does take more to be a cheerleader these days than just a pair of good-looking legs Although , admittedly, it does help These girls must not only be academically above average, they must also be constantly aware of the fact that they represent our school and our attitudes i At the same time , they must be prepared to cheer our teams on to victory, under whatever circumstances In the past, there was , always a great deal of controversy over what events the "varsity cheerleaders werP. expected to attend . This problem was solved by the fom,ation of two equal squads, one which represented us at football games,

Ann Taylor and Pam Plasters attempt to raise some spirits , or keep warm , or both , at the Evergreen 11 football game , one of the coldest of the year

Some of the basketball cheerleaders , Cindy Bra- o mon, Kirsten Madsen, and Annette Maestas, lead the hoards 1n fight cheers at a game t

spirit fires

and another at basketball, with the minor sports being divided equally between the two . This system , 1n fact , worked very well , although it seemed to encourage squad rivalry. " Some of these girls would make great debaters , you know ," a bystander once noted

Besides just cheering , the squads participated 1n several competitions , and were seen on national television when they replaced the Pony Express at the Denver Bronco 's confrontation with Dallas They were also heard around the metro area (over a local radio station) the following day as they "sang " their own intrepretations of "We ' d rather be in Denver" at the weekly " Bronco Breakfast."

The spirit fires truly glowed

Moving up together

In spite of the sprained ankles , c ra cked ribs , and bruised shoulders , the sophomore football team kept up a good attitude Co a ch Bob H ay es said , " We lost five players during the seaso n , but the team put their best effort in every game ." With 35 players , this was the largest sophomore team Golden has ever had

The highlight for Sh a wn Spen c e was when he rushed for 105 yards against Alameda The team put forth a great deal of effort in that game . A real crusher was when Alameda intercepted a pass thrown by Jesse O ' Dorisio and ran 97 yards, for the touchdown , to clench a victory for the Pirates . One of the " favorite pastimes " of the players was doing bear c rawls

According to O ' Dorisio , one of the top bear crawlers in the county , he would rather " die" than crawl for 100 yards

Running sprints was another winner These activities paid off during games "We didn ' t get as tired as our opponents We finished strong against Alameda but we were just too many points behind ," remarked Hayes Hayes also said , "We didn ' t just have one va luab l e player , they all did a good job "

Spence commented , "We need to play more as a tea m to build confidence in one another We should be much be t ter in the next couple of years ."

If the p l ayers continue to improve and p l ay as a t eam , the varsi t y team will certainly be a better team in the future

Practice makes perfect

The varsity football squad was mainly concer ned with g1v1ng the sophomore and junior players a lot of experience in hopes of building a skilled team for next year Yet , in this process of building for the future , Golden players had some exciting moments

Golden High School's most triumphant victory was over Alameda . As Coach Bob Stecklein said, " The highlight of the year was winning the Alameda game It was the game we put most of our effort into ." The Demons made three interceptions recovered a fumble , blocked a punt , scored four touchdowns and one extra point , thus beating Alameda 25 to 8

The football team produced some fine players in 1980 Charlie Ba chm a n , Toby Condreay , Rodger Gain s, R a y Hiatt , Mike Jones , Ron Melnic k, and Derrick Vasquez all had an outstanding season Kip Rillo s did a good job quarterbacking this year An example was the night he completed six passes in the game against Alameda Fortunately , Rillos will return to the squad in 1981

One of the most outstanding p l ayers in the season was Scott Mosser (alias the " Mouser " according to sports announcers) Mosser made the most yardage and points of any player on the team The highlight for him was a 53 yard touchdown run in the Alameda game

Chicken salad to chicken supreme

The Golden Gymnastics team , wh ich started ou t the season at a "chicken sal ad " (according to Coach Marilyn Wilcox, ) level of quality , dramatically improved their technique until they became "chicken supreme

The girls sprung into the 1980-81 season even before school started While most of us were basking in the sun , these girls were working hard at summer camp for their upcoming season of terrific tumbling

They performed so adeptly, in fact, that one impressed coach invited the team to give a clinic in Rapid City, South Dakota, in November This is why you saw so many gymnasts pushing calendars on a reluctant student body last fall.

With a team composed mainly of seniors, the girls stormed the county with their tremenendous expertise This experience factor contributed to their outstanding season record of seven wins and one loss

Even though the difficulty of each rout ine was heightened by the addition of intricate maneuvers, the girls consistently scored at a level higher than or equal to the scores of last year

According to Wilcox , " When the girls did what I told them , we achieved amazing results. " Some of these remarkable result s were seen at the Jefferson County Leagu e Meet. The Junior Varsity team captured fourth place , with every team member pla'·ing in the top twenty at least once

Senior Mickey Traub led the team bv placing second in the individual aspect of the competition The Varsity finished second in league but overpowered Wheat Ridge for first place in district, thus sending the entire team to the State meet in Greeley

Spiking it

Bump! Set! Spike! That was the name of the game for the girl ' s volleyball team

When most students were home , their homework done , 12 vigorous girls were at the gym working out They did the strenuo us drills of bumps , sets, and spikes

Every day of the week , Coach Tony DuCros put them through their paces for two hours They started their warm-ups with a pep talk and then moved on to Golden ' s original D-E- M -O- N Jacks "C ome on you guys , you look like old ladies ," yelled DuCros .

Things weren ' t at all quiet the night of the i r games . The stereo blared as the team ran out of the locker room and they clapped hands to get their spi rit going

The team had five returning letter women : Chris Aten, Mary Durbin , Denise Edwards , Ronda Mattox , and Sue McMillin

Survival is true victory

D ixie W ac hter claimed the position of coach , and immediately began an overhaul of the team

First on the list of things to do " This is soccer , not a fractured form of football. " Pa ssi ng , dribbling and teamwork were stressed in preseason practices , along with general good sportsmanship

For the first time the players were divided into 'varsity ' and 'ju nior varsity ' teams With the idea of growth i n m in d , only six of twelve seniors found themselves on the more prestigious squad, with the rema i ning nine pos i tions being filled by ca pable juniors

After the initial shock had subsided , the team , led by offensive captain , M a rt i n Richardson , and defens ive captain , T i m Li nd , headed into strongerthan-usual league competition

Many people were surprised , and some 1n fa c t, afraid, of the potential the Demon tealT' showed . Yet things were not to be With a disappointing 28 league season , the team saw several potential victories become defeats in the final minutes of the match , and in four cases, not until overtime .

As Wachter looks to next year, hopes shine brightly , as the squad will lose only three starters to graduation. The remainder of the team , wi t h the needed skills ca n foresee next season with renewed enthusiasm

The Demon socce r team included Fr o nt row - Bob Culver, Brian Krickbaum , Tim Lind , Bruce Maj o r , Martin Richa rd so n Jay Crist. Cu rt Tisdel , M ike Hawkin s , Coach Dixie W achte r, Middl eSco t Lew is , Rob Reed , Pat Smi th , Mike Barney , Bill Br ucker , Mark Mino r , Dan Adelf 1nge r , B lake Pierce , Eddie C ribbs , B ack -Rex Halbe 1sen , Paul Karlsson, Brad Andrews , Sco t Ble vins , M at t Mathison John Barney, Dan Doehler , Ch ri s Lietz , and Ron Bachman

Attitudes vary

Basketball. That's the name of the game And for many of the playe r s it was a chance to improve their skills for co mi ng years But for the seniors on varsity, it was one last chance to be part of a h i ghly competitive basketball team before graduating and go ing on to college

All of the players agreed that the att itude of the team members improved 1 greatly with the help of Coach Al Morris. Morris gave the girls the incentive to win and they not only proved themselves to hi m , but also to themselves

When asked why she went out for basketball , senior Sherry Estenson said , "Well, like most of the girls on th e team I've been playing since junior h i gh , and to me it's just the kind of competitive sport that I 'v e always wanted to be a part of ."

Kelli Whitehall, a senior, was asked the same question and replied , " I went out for basketball because I love the feeling of team spirit. "

Julia McPeek, another senior on the varsity team , simply said , " I like the sport , and the people on the team make it worthwhile "

What McPeek , Estenson , and Wh i tehall liked most about basketball was the respect the teammates felt for each other, and also the way the players were able to work as a team instead of each person for hers E'lf Even though it's a time-consum ing sport, all of the girls felt that the effort they put out was worth it.

As was expected , each of the gir :s had different goals in mind For Estenson it was "to make starting varsity, become a better ball handler, and become a more aggressive offensive player "

Whitehall ' s goals were " to get some game experience and improve enough so that Coach Morr is can confidently substitute me in a game "

So , not only was this year made prosperous, but the attitude of th e players was improved greatly from the previous year According to the girls on the team , it was the persisten ce of Coach Morris that made all the difference

The Girls' Varsity Basketball Team included -back row-Al Morris (head coach), Teresa N elson, Mary Durbin , Sherry Estenson, Jim Ellis (assistan t coach). M ike Ahl (manager) Front row-Julia McPeek, Denise Ed wa rds, Holley Morris, Julie Towle , Sue Ellis (assistant coach)

Goals set high

The thrill of victory, or maybe the agony of defeat more accurately described the Girls' Junior Varsity Basketball Team. But despite the defeats , the girls' spirits and hopes remained high

Though all the girls on the junior varsity team went out for basketball because they liked 1t, Ruby Purdy , Mic helle Pracht , and Bonn ie Pracht had additional reasons for joining the team When asked why she went out for basketball, Purdy replied , "It's my favorite sport and I like being able to compete against other people ."

B Pracht , in response to the same question , said, "Because it's an aggressive game and they don't have boxing for gi rls.' '

M Pracht simply stated, "I went out for basketball because I'm competitive and I wanted to stay in shape "

As with the varsity , the junior varsity also had some goals for the year For M. Pracht it was "to improve my skills and to become more aggressive "

8 Pracht only said, "I'd like to see the junio r va r sity follow the varsity to a winning season."

Even though none of the girls had any junior va r sity _experience , with the contri b u t ion of two new junior varsity coaches, the team had come quite a long way. It's hoped that next year these gi r ls will come back with astounding vic t o r ies in t he Golden tradition

Fast action breaks to score

As the Demon basketball team hit the courts in early November , one thing became frighteningly clear to coaches and players alike, "Our varsity team graduated!" Indeed , on closer examination it became evident that the mysterious spring ritual had left the team , few players with " varsity " experience . Yet , with a quick dribble out of the locker room, this fact was set aside and the team began their quest for success in the Jeffco league

The assortment of plays , all with their own specialties, (running , jumping , pressing wild flowers etc ) raised the hopes of Coach Stoke ' s early in the season , as the Demons showed to be victors in several pre-season games .

Although league compe tit ion often proved t o be more than they could handle, the te am never failed to play "good ball" , and were always in the game until the final buzzer One of the highlights of the season was the traditional "ba ttle " between Golden and Wheat Ridge , which in the past , also i ncluded a lot of " audience participation " This year there were no guard dogs , however, and both teams fought valiantly throughout the contest. In the end Wheat Ridge prevailed , although we did manage to lead through the first three quarters

When asked prior to the Wheat Ridge contest about the probable outcome, Senior Mike Nogues pronounced , "We are going to beat them " They didn ' t , but as the saying goes, " there's always next year " With a young team like ours , "co mpetition , be prepared! "

Stick 'em to the mat

Hard work and sweat came out of tt-e wrestling room this year, along with some of the finest in wrestling talent. The team started slowly but qu ick ly recovered , due to their burning desire to win With an unexperienced team , Coach Matt Teubner did an outstanding job , and in the following years co uld develop a state con tender

Pra c tices were tough , according to the wrestlers , but in spite of the difficult drills , they never co mplained The long hours and hard work donated by every wrestler was the main reason for th is year's success , says Teubner.

Weight gain was the largest nightmare of every wrestler Once you gained weight , it was hard to lose If you gained weight , you came to practice in sweats , worked twice as hard and cut the highcal foods

Even with this torture , hardly anyone quit. Instead , most of the wrestlers got tougher and better

Teubner was looking ahead to next year He believed, with the steady progress the team had made in the last few years , GHS would soon be known once more as a major contender for the state championship in the area of wrestling

We hoped for this prediction

Coaches dedicate selves

Coaches Those dedicated people who gave of themselves and their time in order to help young people develop their athletic skills Since the job of coach is not quite monetarily rewarding , many would find it undesirable But the men and women involved in this activity overlooked this fact, and enjoyed the more satisfying points of coaching

Most Golden coaches got started because it seemed the natural thing to do after participating in a sport. For example , Bob Hayes played football , as well as basketball and baseball , i n high school and college He had coached all three sports , but lead the sophomore football team in 1980-81 Hayes enjoyed many aspects of coaching , especially being able to realize "instant results, whether good or bad That ' s something you can ' t see in the classroom " He liked to watch an average player dedicate himself, work hard , and then become a better athlete " That's really satisfying ."

Another player turned coach was Sandy Nations, who led the Tridette s and cheerleaders She participated in the porn pon squads in both high school and college Nat ions enjoyed coaching because the girls were "fun to be with ." She also liked the games , and the excitement involved in the job . Nat ions came up with some new ideas , such as having two varsity cheerleading squads Although the girls s h e coached sometimes didn ' t take their sport seriously, Nat ions felt that most of them were respons i ble and enthusiastic , especia ll y at the beginning of the year
