From winter to summer, from summer to fall, GHS students were exposed to many new experiences and facets of school hfe. From the new attendance policy to the inevitable seniorihs, we've endured it all.
The controversial new attendance policy was met with opposing views by faculty and students. We trudged all the way around Bbuild1ng every hme we had a class there because of construction on the new science room. Since the work on the roofs, we were no longer exposed to the capricious Colorado weather while trying to do homework in the library.
When we still hoped for that last hot weather weekend, 1t was already time for sweaters and coats, but we've made 1t through another school year. The seniors moved on to a different exposure while the sophomores and 1un1ors found themselves one year closer to graduation. But for all we've gone through, both good and bad, we' re still Golden!
"What? Get up and go to school?"
This was the reaction o f more than 1ust a few of the students on the hrst day of school. Summer was over and many thought that going to school was like being "ma roon"ed on an island. Was it so?
For all, Mondays started with a rude awakening to the co ld dark-
ness of the morning, often times, wondering how the weekend had managed to shp by so fast. During the week, 1t was back to all those wonderful tests, essays and spor t practices. Yes , we e x perienced some hardships, but none so terrible that we couldn' t see t he good in them. W e weren't really marooned at school; 1ust lucky.
The returning Juniors and sophomores set out to establish their new ranks as seniors and Juniors. Taking the 1un1ors piace were the new "spastic sophomores." The ever noticeable sophomores were easily identified. Sherri Paricio , senior, was quoted as saying , "You can tell they are sophomores.''
Ho w ever, the year went well with the class o f '8 4 being ''exposed" to the maturity of the upperclassmen. While the ' 1 e xposees" continued to improve their o wn \\Golden Exposure," the faculty did their best to keep all the students in line and at their studies.
Nevertheless, most students e xperienced a great deal of spirit, including above all, the sen iors!

Demon fans showed enthus iasm as our teams did us proud. No matter what the weather, time or place, fans promoted the Demon pride. Spirit ran throughout th e school fr om day one. Mu ch improved from that o f last year, th e students zeal quickly grew.
The Homecoming pep assembly sho wed a new height in spirit and wa s proclaimed, "The best pep assembly 1n twenty years," by Art P ape nfu s. A first-time ever school slide show topped off the success.

Having looked back through the years, Golden High School has undergone many changes. It might be hard to imagine, but what was once the student lounge 25 years ago has since become the counseling center. The chemistry room has been remodeled along with many other rooms. Changes have continued even into '82'. The first bit of ground was broken to accomodate the new science room.
People and fashions have also changed However, Art Papenfus and Darrell Hailing have not. They still work at Golden as they did 25 years ago.
School in '57' meant bobbie socks, poodle skirts and crew cuts. While 1982 was the year of western boots, Levi's and preppy wear.
In the past years the school was much more structured: strictness was a major quality A more casual environment could be found during the past year. So congratulations Golden High School, you've come a long way!
The Demon Varsity Football Team ended with an unsuccessful season. "This record though, could have been better'' stated Head Coach, Bob Stecklein , ' but this year's squad was plagued with in1ur1es." The team was primarily led by the defense, with help from a struggling offense. ''Even though this year has been a success,'' said Stecklein, "nine of our starting players on defense are juniors and seven of our starters on offense are also juniors. Who knows what will happen next year when we combine e xperience and strength.''
Everyday after school, 22 dedicated girls headed for the locker room, then, on to the gym for a vigorous workout This year's varsity captain was Deni se Edwards , with the j.v. team having a different captain each game. This gave more of the girls a chance at leadership experience.
Edwards remarked that although they had lost a lot of the games, the team was stronger because the girls were closer friends. "We won games last year, but 1t didn't mean as much because we weren't very close.''
Michelle Pracht commented that this year, "the skill and ability was there," but it was individualized, not put together to form a team effort.
The squad didn't make it to Districts this time; however, the spirit and determination to win would return ne x t spring along with the chance to be number one.

Awesome! The 10- 1 season for boy's tennis was the best record amongst the fall sports. Under the coaching of Dick Byrne, this relatively young team showed that they were compet1hve. Senior, Eric Harrison , and 1un1or, Chris Gartner , played the no. 1 doubles spot to a 10- 1 record and proved that they were number one in the county by w1nn1ng districts and earning a place 1n State competition.
The second place team in d1str1cts was the no. 2 doubles: Chad Hodges and Jeff Jon es and Mark U rernovich, showed they could keep ahead of other teams by compiling a 9-2 record.
As a whole, this team finished second in the league. Having lost only two seniors, the boy's tennis team should have a great upcoming year.
Chri s Gar t ne r enjoys the game of tennis very mu, h and why not he went to state. Th e strong back hand form of Jeff Jones helps his future as a tennis standout.

It was a hard, competitive sport and required dedicated girls.
And dedication was what Coach M a rilyn Wilcox asked of her girls. Besides their three hour practices after school, she required them to take one of her gymnastics classes.
Kris Ha yes, one of the two sen-
on the team, was the only returning letter woman and she served as the squad's captain. The rest of the girls were Juniors and sophomores. This would prove to be a plus for Wilco x 's upcoming team.

Could you imagine what it would be like to run 8 miles, every day after school, for 3 months? Having taken a look at the Cross Country team, one can see how each grueling practice included plodding down the 3 1 '2 miles of Old Golden Road towards Daniels Park in Lakewood. The runners engaged in 15 minutes worth of sprints, and then returned. Saturdays, the team ran
past the '' M'' on Lookout Mountain, and back, rain, snow, or shine.
Headed by Coach Lowell Sharp , who followed each practice 1n the luxurious team van, the team had quite a successful year With the contribution of promising sophomores and returning lettermen and women, the team looked forward to a successful season the following year .

r 5: 15 in the morning was not a pleasant time for anybody, including the girl's swim team. Time, devotion, and a few hours less sleep drove these girls daily to the School of Mines pool. Constant clorination put the successful team into 5th place in county, with 4 girls going to state· Eileen Deutsch , Kimm M a bry, M a ureen O 'Bri e n , a nd C a th y Don a hoe.
Although the girls swam with precision, they still lacked the "umph" that fans could have given. Lack of support was the main drawback. The Lady Swimmers felt frustrated with no one knowing how well they were doing. The team promised to have quite a successful year in '82, w1 th many returning letterwomen, and hopefully some new faces also.
The boy's soccer team has earned the respect of all Jefferson County teams, with an over-all record of 6-5-3. Incidently, this record was the best since 1977. In an impressive victory over league champions, Green Mountain, the Demons marked a strong start that set a steady pace throughout the season.
Individually, captain, M a rtin R ich a rdso n , landed a three year goal that most high school players never come close to. Richardson, a three year varsity player, drilled his 19th goal into the nets and overruled the previous school record of 18 (set in 1977) a fter recovering from a serious 1n1ury.

"One of the best years Golden has ever had in golf," was the summation of our impressive team, given by coach Bob Stokes .
Though the team consisted of a mere hve members, 1t was evidenced by our fourth in the county record, that 1t' s quality not quantity that counts.
Individually, however, it was Junior Marc Neely who immerged into the spotlight. All Con ference County and First Team All State are the honors he attained this year, the second award was a record that no one 1n the history of Golden had ever achieved unhl this year.

In contrast to other years, this year's ski season offered an abundance of powder. On extremely snowy days, skiers skied as close as the newlynamed Ski Golden. When the weather cleared-up, others traveled many miles to places such as Vail and Aspen. Still others tried the recently made area called Beaver Creek.
Besides skiing with just the family, students got together to ski. Golden's ski club, sponsored by Louise Grote , held fund raisers and planned ski trips Another ski team (of sorts) emerged this year, the GHS Band Ski Team Pros. "We schussed just fine," mentioned sen-
ior member, Denise Marqu ardt. Formed of only band members, the organization was quite elite.
In addition to skiing, many students participated in other fascinating winter recreation sports, such as tobogganing, ice skating, and hockey. Sophomore, Holly Castle, an adamant sledder, relayed her love for the hills by saying, "It's fun when you wreck. ' Kristi Giln1ore , an ice-skating senior, stated, "There's nqthing better than an ice covered lake because it's a good excuse to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.''
Whether the winter sport was tubing or laying face down on the slopes, su ff ocating, the snow-filled season offered something for everyone.
The height of rf)()k1e (but Vdrs1ty player) Enc Hdrnsr,f' 1s definitely a plus for the Demon team Wonder why he never went out before?

At last the basketball season was here! The hassles of suffering in the bitter cold on wet seats was long gone Now, the spectators could be warm and dry as they watched our boys play inside a gymnasium. And what a spectacle they had to watch! Under the coaching of Scott Smith (by the way, a former graduate of GHS) the boys roused the crowd into one ball of nerves. Not only once, but many times the outcome of the game was determined in the last few minutes and even in the last seconds. It was 1n pre-season play that the tops of all hme nail-biters occurred. It was then that Pat Sanner, with no hme left, put in the winning point after missing the hrst of his two free throws.
Next year, the team will have returning lettermen so it won't be a total rookie team And to those graduahng seniors: Jimmy, Don , Rob , Eric , P a t , Cliff a nd Mike , the best of luck 1n your basketball careers.
This had been a year for changes. The Junior Varsity as well as the sophomore basketball programs both had new coaches. There were many sophomores out for the team coached by Steve Appleba urn while there were only a few out for the J V team coached by Cbris Cba vez. These two coaches had a similar outlook on the season as that of varsity coach, Scott Srnitb. All they wanted was a winning season, but 1t also proved to be a rebuilding year
Due to the lack of interest in the program, the coaches had to move players from sophomore to JV. and from J.V. to Varsity. Alth ough all o l this happened, the team improved for the season and also 1n preparing for next year.

Pushing the ball up the court to score was the motto for the girl's varsity basketball team.
The season started out slow, but as 1t progressed, the Lady Demons managed to win a few games.
Head coach, Jim Ellis said, "We don't have an height on our team, so we have to hustle and outrun our opponents."
The captain and leader of the team was the standout, Denise Edwards. She led the Lady Demons 1n scoring, and also gave this quote, "Although we haven't won as many games as we would have liked, we have had a good hme playing basketball together.''
There were three sophomore starters this year, so within the ne x t two years, the Lady Demons should once again be tough competi tors.
Seven dedicated guys began their days with a brisk and invigorating swim. Their main goal was to improve individually, since team competition proved difficult with the few members on the team. Coach, Kyle Parker , a former graduate of Golden, worked wonders with the swimmers. All of the swimmers improved their times and M a rk Smith came close to qualifying for State. With twice as many people on the team, they could have done well in overall competition.
Hard work said it all for the wrestlers this year. The team started out strong, slowing when they had a few losses; but always quick to recover. Coach, Matt Teubner did a great Job, and possibly developed some State contenders.
Although the practices were tough, the wrestlers never gave up. Weight gain was a problem for all the wrestlers. If you gained weight, you came to practice in sweats, or sat in the hot tub until you had los t the pounds. This year's success was the result of hard work and determination.
Besides all the problems faced by the wrestlers, they fought to the end which made a victorious year.
On cold winter days, when the wind was blowing so hard that you thought it would knock you over, there were a few dedicated girls who could be seen wearing short skirts around campus. These girls didn't necessarily have a masochist comple x, as many thought they did, but felt that their spirit encouraged the school's athletes. They were the cheerleaders, the backbone of the school's spirit.
When the teams were losing, these girls managed to bring a smile to the people s faces. They did more than Jus t chant rhymes, they raised the sp1r1t of the Demons once again.
As
I xert themselves some prefer to watch them lying clown.
"Trudy! Trudy! What routine are we going to do tonight?' This could be heard a few times seventh hour by wondering Tridettes Our pornpons gathered 1n the large gym to move and groove to such hits as "My Angel is a Centerfold," and "S he's a very Kinky Girl " They certainly tried their hardest to entertain us Demons.
Tridettes simply enjoyed it when they had to come to school in their mini-skirts with only a large letter " G" to protect them from the cold and the men. Does anyone remember a certain varsity football game where we received a visit from the hrst snow? I'm sure the Tridettes do. They were out on the held Jumping, kicking and producing spirit. Once again giving us a httle en tertainmen t.
This group of twelve girls ran on and off the held and court sang the school song and froze so many times for us, we want to say thanks. Thank-you Ann e, Cari, Gina, Jo Ann e, Kristi, Linda, Lisa, Starr, Susan, Tammy, Torrey and Trudy.

Did you get tired of people running up to you and saying, "Do you wanna buy some strawberry-scented soap in designer containers? They' re only $15 .00 for two ounces .''
All year, we were being smiled at, talked at, and grabbed at by people trying to sell things for their clubs or classes.
Some days, sales people seemed to be coming from everywhere to persuade you to buy their goods.
It wasn't all bad. You
could have always put y o urs elf in the salesperson's shoes and felt sorry for them; but then, you would have gone broke. Some of the items that were up for sale were pleasurable, such as the German Club's chocolates and Gummy Bears and Senior Seminar's, Halloween night insurance.
These people were bothersome at times, but Just think, in twenty years you'll open your closet and see the senior T-shirt you bought. It will remind you of your good old days at Golden High.

Every senior experienced , the same "head in the clouds" feehng that senioritis could give. But that joyful feeling d1sappeared when application deadlines rolled around and it was time to pick a life's job.
But what should one be?
As in the case of Caryn Shephard. Her friends said of her, "Someday she'll perform at Carnegie Hall as a great pianist."
This wa s similar to Rob Dor1?1an. "He'll be the next Steve Martin.''

All seniors enjoyed different foods. The variety was from Mike Lush 's licorice to Kirn Craft's stuffed kelp, a Korean delicacy. Bill Brucher and Gail Baughman adored pizza, a favorite of many. Pat Sanner's favorite of veal parmesan had class; however, Scott McBurney's favorite was a typical steak. Rob Dorman relished spaghetti. In the
dessert area, Suzy Schmidt drooled over Baskin Robbin's caramel macaroon ice cream. Andy Scott loved homemade apple pie. Finally, Rob Reed's Wheaties give him his vitality. The year was filled with chances to indulge in old favorites as well as try out new delicacies.

The average high school 30 years ago, had only two electives: shop for boys, and home economics for girls.
Today, high school offered a variety of classes that prepared students for their future experiences in the world. Some of these included Marriage and Family L1v1ng, Child Development, Ofhce Occupations, Computer Programming, as well as the basic shop and home economics.
Perhaps these classes weren't first on a senior's list, but of ten times, a closed class at registration time was enouoh

Seniors made a new start. The year was coming to an end and some decis1ons needed to be made. Many continued the1r studies 1n various fields and 1n many colleges. Some began working from 9 to 5 throughout the United States. Still others sought futures in the Armed Forces.
When senior Suzy Schmidt, was asked what she was going to do after high school, she said, "I want to major in elementary education or psychology, because I like to work with people."
Another prominent senior, Susan Courtright, was also asked the same question, and she said, ''I would like to pursue my education at the School of Mines, and then become an II engineer.
No matter what the field, seniors' choices made a significant contribution to the working world.

IIf you happened to be at Larimer Square on Halloween night for the Ritz party, at Wallabies in Denver, or at the Blue Note Club in Boulder to hear the Kamikazi Klones, you would be experiencing what is coloquially known as Punk. Sociologists have said, ' 'Punk is a way of relieving one's primitive tensions through its loud, repetitive tones." Did we have any Goldenites who looked for such a relief? Well, we might not have had true punkers who wore their incognito, wrap-around glasses all the time but, we did have
weekend punk-rockers.
Paula Barringer, who walked down the hall within a cloud of preppiness, was one of those weekend punkers. On Halloween night she was seen jumping up and down to the beat of the music and hopping into people she didn't know. Then, from behind her, came other Demon punkers. There was Chris Leitz, with red and green hair, and Todd Linder with safety pins in his ears.
Whatever the disguise, Punk was a fascinating double-life for students to lead.

From Genesee to Lookout Mt. to downtown Golden, hot1seholds were filled with a mixture of music and munchies for a successful party as seniors gathered to celebrate any occasion that arose.
Perhaps the most famous of all these parties were those at graduation time. During the all nighters, seniors celebrated the turning point of their lives: the end of twelve years of bells, books and buses.
However, most agreed that the best parties were those w ith all your friends gathered together for a plain and simple good time.

In elementary school, the kids looked up to the 1un1or high students. While in junior high, the big dream was being a "high school student." While looking ahead, no one stoppe d to see what they were doing at the time.
Because they strived to gain experience and knowledge, few looked back. Approaching a new beginning, and heading off into different dire c tions s uch as college, careers and even marriage, many started to look back at their high school years cherishing the memories.

Were you shy and coy about asking girls out? You needn't have been, just listen to these cherished secrets from some macho seniors.
When that certain girl catches your eye, Just relax, don't pass out or die!
Act cool, like she's a regular in the sea, And when you a 9k her out, she'll make herself free.
Now 1f she's ignoring you and you wanna be seen, Just dress real nice, and act bad and mean. But if she still doesn't look or notice you're there, You better re-evaluate, or wash your hair!

Haven't you always had someone you most admired and swore you would love to 1 meet or be hke?
According to Susan Courtright, Donald Duck was her utmost favorite. Trudy Harless and Randy Cooksey admitted that " Kung Fu is a stud. 11 Connie Sznallen voiced " He's got guts," refer-
ring to the Pope. After seeing
"Raiders of the Lost Ark , 11 Suzy Schznidt announced that Harrison Ford "is gorgeous, he's awesome!"
Coming in closer touch with GHS, Scott Lewis said he admired Sherri Paricio , "She's a wonderful friend. 11 Sherri in turn pronounced " I admire Scott because he's such a soccer stud, but I sure don't admire Ronald Reagan."

Adventurous juniors, desiring and deserving a brief escape from school, discovered such an opportunity through being a high school leader at Outdoor Lab. It was an exciting and new experience for most; being 1n charge of a group of sixth graders, as well as being called Miss or Mr. All the students had to make up a
lot of work; however, as Glyn Anthony put it, "It was wor th it." Lisa Bruckner learned that, "si x th graders can humiliate you easily." Kate Hall said she "learned ho w si x th graders work." This learning experience was a unique and intriguing opportunity, as Kimm Mabry stated, "I'm looking forward to ne x t year!"

In past years, the policy followed that only a note (which included the date of absence, the reason for it, and a parent's signature) was needed for a student to be admitted to class. But just why did administrators decide to change the policy?
They believed that 1t was easier for students to ditch classes by forging the notes For this reason, students during the school year had to make adjustments.
Depending on the teacher, students were not admitted into c lasses , got a lower grade, or were told to call 1n next hme. The only way to get a note was to either call 1n the absence that very day or make arrangements ahead of time.
Although there were mi xed feehngs between all involved, the prospect of a change in policy looked too far off to tell.

The junior year wa s branded by some as the hardest and the most important year of high school
Shawn Spence said, "I thought this year was supposed to be all play and no work , but I have so much homework, I hardly have time to see my girl.''
Piles and piles of homework stacked up all around the average juniors, but they had to complete each assignment or college was out of sight. Even with all that hard work, many were seen at West Colfax on Friday nights.
For some students, working at Burger King or McDonalds was the thing to do Yet others decided that hamburgers had no future. Many students were involved in Jobs that created the need for professionahsm in not only their attitudes, but 1n their appearances as well.
Susan Srnitb worked in a doctor's office, Teri A ultrnan worked as a cashier 1n a cleaning store, and Cbris Bloom , as well as Kurt Deines,
worked as cashiers in a furn.ture show-room. All of these Juniors had a common purpose, to get some e x perience in the business world
Chris Bloom commented that she wanted a good background for when she got out o f high school.
This alone proved that students were world conscious and did care about the hves that they were to lead after graduation.
Did you ever wonder what was going on in the parking lot when you heard the screeching on the pavement and horns honking? Well, the truth behind the story was that a number of students were showing off their cars.
Students thought of themselves and their cars as one.
Vinny Rock explained, " It's a great advantage having a car because you are able to go where you want, when you want; and 1t 1s so convenient when taking a girl out."
"I love my car, I just could not hve without it," indicated Bryan Bennett . No matter how fast, (slow), (big) or beat up, cars were still the most important thing to many students.

"What will I do; what will I do?" Many sophomores asked this question of themselves for the hrst time in their lives. New friends and classes were but two of the differences between Junior and senior high schools. With longer passing periods, talking between classes was a luxury for new found friends. Almost an hour for lunch gave many students a chance to eat and do homework before their next class. But time is indeed relative, as sophomores laterfound out.

To sophomores, high school started out a lonely place. They were new , with no one to associate with One of the most important aspects of life was missing , it 's called; friendship. clesse Hopperstead said, '' As the year progressed , I met so many people and made many new friends. " Numerous friendships were started, 1nclud1ng some very c lose ones.
Yes, 1t was a new place, but the sophomores pulled 1t out and had a great year working together. One anonymous quote said 1t all, ''The key to making high school en1oyable 1s to have many friends. "

The doors of A building look mighty big to sophomores on their hrst day of school
Sophomore , Garrick Sasa , 1s confro nted and c ornered 1n the student lo unge by many of his elder schoolmates
"These stupid sophomores! They always block the way!"
Many upperclassmen said this as they tried to get through the halls of the school this past year. It seemed that the upperclassmen thought it a sin to be seen with their younger classmates. Juniors stuck to their senior buddies and would ignore most of the friends they had in Junior high. Bewildered sophomores walked down the halls, wondering where all their older friends had gone.
As the year went on, one could see more upper and lower class relationships beginning. Some looked on it as strange, as if 1t hadn't happened before, but it had. You could see sophomores eating lunch with Juniors and seniors, sophomores and older classmates walking or dr1v1ng together, and one could even see more and more romantic relationships being stirred up.
Some seniors said, "When I was a sophomore, I almost had to bow down to the seniors.'' Maybe this was why relationships flourished.

Slowly creeping down the crowded hallway, dodging into crevices and behind bathroom doors, the slightly terrified sophomore tried to hnd the infamous room, D-1 1. Suddenly, he realized he was in B Building!
This experience has probably happened to us all, in some way or another After asking several sophomores their hrst impression of Golden, some interesting comments were disclosed. According to Terry Wisdom , "I thought I was gonna do awful; I was right!" Rather cynically, Justine Hager voiced, ''You've got to be kidding.''
Barb Maurer revealed her true self by sheepishly commenting, ''I'd rather be sleeping.'' According to Rieb Chavez, "It's as bad as I thought it would be.''
Entering high school was a different experience for us all, but it was one we never forgot.

Formerly an advisor 1n newspaper and yearbook land, Sally Blanchard started out the school year supervising student activities such as student council and directing the weekly calendar for all the student activities.
Besides implementing a new attendance policy, she also watched over the school grounds. Even though a rookie to her Job, her enthusiasm and effort totally made up for whatever lack of know ledge she might have had. Blanchard obviously wanted to make the school a better place.

It's only natural that a high school and a college athlete should grow up to be the head coordinator of a school's sporting events.
That's exactly the case with Hugb M c Pbee , the transferred assistant principal from Green Mountain. How lucky we were to receive such a fine man with that added insight to the sporting world
In fact, this insight aided him in controlling specific athletic events and activities, and above all else, understanding the feelings of our school's athletes.
Although tested many a time, McPhee always came through with flying colors.
Oh, the headaches and heartaches of registration. Ever wonder who had the worst and the biggest pains of all? You guessed 1t, Barb Sibold .
Yet, despite the hassles of this momentous event (students sneaking in, wanting to drop a class, add a class, not enough classes, etc.) Sibold always managed a smile.
And how nice 1t was to see a friendly face. Not only would she stop and chat awhile but often, she expressed her genuine concern about the students.
"Probably the one thing I'm concerned about is that the students don't treat school as a ma1or stepping stone in their lives."
The English and math teachers had their usual rivalry during the Homecoming week A t the pep assembly, a cheer arose from the stands cla1m1ng, " B 1s the Best," during and after the math teachers' demonstrahon o f their acting talents. Ho w ever, the loyalty to the English teachers persisted when they produced "Raiders Lost 1n the Dark " The cry "D and E are the Best," filled the gym. The award for best play went to the English departmen t while many lesser awards went to the ma th teachers. Coincidently, the judges a warded the prizes to themselves.
Most students appreciated their teachers After all, teachers did educate the students so they could succeed in life In order to show this appreciation, the student council gave a faculty breakfast and had secret senators.
At about 6·45 one November morning, teachers gob-
bled down donuts and sipped coffee and orange 1u1ce. Breakfasts were delivered to those teachers who taught a zero-hour.
At the beginning of the year, student council members were assigned two to three faculty members to play secret senator to. Throughout the
•
whole year, these senators gave presents and did special things, anonymously and then, at year's end, they presented themselves to their teachers.
Besides this, some of the students expressed their gratitude individually to their teachers And believe it, it was most gratefully appreciated.

The work of the secretaries often resembled the flight of a bumble bee: busy from dawn to dusk.
Or at least it seemed so to the students, especially during the early months of school. That's the time when there was a line outside of Pat Payne 's windo w and waiting to buy that dreaded gray and yellow g ym suit turned into an hourly

Similar to the dilemma of Payne was each and every job of the other secretaries.

Golden, Colorado; a small but independent town with proud residents. Although Golden was small, it was and growing, with that growth came a new breed of people.
Owner of the 5& 10 Fair Store Mrs . Middlemiss stated, Golden is a town that has all of the services needed for its residences."
The Fair Shop had been in bus1ness for 57 years and all of those years had been prosperous, according to Middlemiss.
The Golden Chamber of Commerce was set up to give information to those wanting to know more about
the town. But this was only one job of the Chamber of Commerce. Other jobs included organizing and funcling other town activities
Art Owen , director of the Chamber of Commerce said, "Golden has all the services of a large town, but the atmosphere of a small town."
Golden was a tourist attraction and according to Owen, the information booth located at 10th and Washington Street averaged 23,000 visitors during the summer. "I think we' re going to see a larg~ growth in the next ten years,'' added Owen.

To many, weekends were just more time for their homework, but to many more, Friday and Saturday nights were a time to get out of the house and enjoy the finer points of life.
Many spent their weekends attending the numerous athletic events throughout the year. Also, there were the dances: Homecoming and Prom. They were the biggest of the year with more people attending than not.
Some of the student body chose not to return to the school they so gladly left They chose instead to spend their time and money cruising up and down Coifax. One of the main purposes for this was to meet the guy or girl of their dreams. And while some did, many were still out there searching.
Another pass time many indulged in was attending one or more of the many parties that were held almost every weekend. It wasn 't true that many of these parties involved the use and abuse of alcohol because the majority of parties were enjoyable without it. The main purposes of such parties were to meet ne w friends and strengthen old friendships.
Moreover, the main purpose of every weekend was to have a good time, no matter what your idea of a good time was.
In high school, one saw a variety of interests, activities and people Here, at our school, we had many students from other countries and cultures.
One young lady attending school was from Brazil; M a ria Androde . Her interests were ballet and technical drawing. She had been in America for eleven months as an exchange student before leaving once again for Brazil.
Bao D i nh , from Saigon, Vietnam, had lived 1n America for four years. His interests were reading and sports, especially soccer and football. Besides these, Bao felt that he had finally conquered the English language.
Kristi Lyngstadaas, an exchange student for Norway, found much 1n this country to her liking; especially dancing and rodeos
Huy T . Lam really en1oyed crosscountry sk11ng. Huy, like Bao, came from South Vietnam. Huy had been here only two years and yet, he has become very attached to Colorado.
These students and others en1oyed the many opportunities that the American way of life offered.
Every person was unique, even twins , whether they be identical or fraternal. Every person, at one time or the other, had come in contact with a twin and Golden seemed to be overloaded with such students. So, how could the yearbook staff possibly overlook a story of them?
First, were the identical twins that everyone knew as Lisa and Lori Lilly, the sophomore girls. One problem encountered by both of them was that most guys who were just their friends got the two mixed up. Luckily their boy friends never made that mistake.
The two Lillys have always been in the same schools, classes and they even share a room together, but they never date together. These girls, who were born on the 14th of August, considered 1t a corny idea for twins to wear and en1oy the same things.
The two Bradens, Denise and Dennis, were one of the few boy-girl twin experiences. These 11th graders had green eyes and the same color hair, but both agreed they did not look alike.
Denise and Dennis have gone to the same schools and have occasionally been in the same classes. They worked at the same Perkins restaurant, but have not had to share the same room since they were about four years old. Since they were a boy-girl pair, people didn't normally get their faces mixed up. Although their friends were different, they somehow managed to be hnked together. For example, one of his friends might go out with one of her friends. They did not buy identical clothes, but they did sometimes get similar presents for their birthday.
The two senior girls, Julie and Jeanie Collins were not identical but were
born only five minutes apart. Just as the other twins , these girls have gone to the same schools but this was the first year that they have had most of their classes together. Jeanie liked to sew and Julie hked to cook and they both liked to go out and do things. The Collins girls went on dates together but guys never got them mixed up because they were two very different people.
These two girls were the best of friends; they shared clothing but they never bought identical stuff because they didn't hke to be thought of as the same. The fact that teachers mixed these two girls up really made them angry. They sat 1n their correct seats and wore different clothes but still, some teachers got them confused - even after a semester . Julie explained the Mrs . Bratt had twins herself so she remembered Jeanie by her brown eyes and Julie by her blue. Although Mr . Fairbanks called them "the twins " he d1dn' t get them mixed up. Julie thought that some of the teachers mixed them up on purpose and she became very angry at times. They have the same friends because they only have one different class , English, in which to meet different people
The Cavanaugh family had the unique distinction of having two sets of twins attending Golden at the same time Chris and Cathleen were sophomores while Mark and Mike were juniors.
Even though twins look the same or were born on the same day, they were shll very much d1ff erent from each other as well as from everyone else. So - do our school's twins a favor and try not to get them mixed up!
December second marked the grand opening of Colorado's newest McDonalds and also the beginning of the Golden area's climb back to respectability. Every major area had its own McDonalds, so eventually, the well-known franchise had finally recognized Golden as \ \ • I I a ma1or area .
Golden residents have been awaiting the arrival of McDonalds in the area for a number of years But, up until now, the franchise had chosen locations elsewhere because the Golden area had not been growing at the rate of nearby cities.
With the aquisition of the new restaurant came the opportunity for a number of GHS students to get jobs, and also it gave students an alternative to the school lunches.
With the new McDonalds in such a convenient location for GHS students
(about ¾ of a mile from the school), it would seem that this would have made a substantial difference in the number of students purchasing school lunches. During the initial week McDonalds was open, the Golden High cafeteria was found almost empty, with nearly all the occupants eating not school lunches, but rather sack lunches.
Surprisingly, after one week, the cafeteria began once again to fill up, and students were purchasing almost as many school lunches as prior to the construction of Golden's McDonalds.
Although much of the student body had chosen to stay at school for lunch, McDonalds made a good place to go for a "quick bite" after a Golden basketball game or wrestling meet and will continue to serve the public for a long time to come.
As Golden High' s students entered the campus where they were to spend the next nine months of their lives, they were overwhelmed by the numerous changes.
The front of Abuilding was the first renovation to catch the eyes of these revived pupils after their summer vacation. Insulation was placed on the upper windows to keep heat in during the winter and out in summer.

New administrators also entered the lineup on campus. Sally Blanchard moved up into the position of activities and attendance director, while Hugh McPhee took charge of athletics and discipline.
After the teachers returned to the old routine of assigning homework, students were once again required to make use of the LMC. Upon entering the hbrary they were confronted with another new face Alberta Barnett.
These several transformations helped make the transition back into the school routine much more enjoyable.

One of the most unique facets in the composition of Golden High were the several, rather elitist, student groups. These organizations lived by the old "birds of a feather" adage and while a few were as old as the G HS facade itself, several new groups surfaced this year. Here's a brief roundup of the groupies that made the 81-82 scene:

Cheerleaders - The most ubiquitous group of people in the school, cheerleaders had key elements of maroon rah-rah uniforms and abounded with pep.
Newspaper Staffers - Staffers always have a Trident genetically attached. They eat, sleep, drink and breath the newspaper. Staffers could be found in C-3B anytime, making hateful comments toward each other.
Preps - These chaps were a dying craze here in the West, nevertheless, they were still prominent in
the 81-82 scene. Sperry topsiders, Levi's straight legs and Lacoste knits were a must. "Gawd, Muffy. Can't you do anything right?"
Video Junkies
- Obsessed with a 100,000 point self-gratification complex, video junkies obtained such goals as "blow that #*!# * % away." Junkies could be found camping out around such video esterica as Pac-Man and Asteroids.
Band Members

Just past the student lounge a building contained a creative, crafty and sometimes disarrayed den for Goldens' artists. Students came to class taught by Mark Dunn , Jerry Ro s enth a l or Gene Youngman and unleashed all their creative talent.
Trudy Harless, president of Demon Arts, said, "Everybody loves art " It did seem to be true Even though Jennie Thurston loved her jewelry class, she said, "Ouch!", because it could be painful. Sophomore, Sta c y Smith thought it was "fun playing with the clay, especially the gray kind." Some students, like Starr Marker and Jim Jenkin s said art was a therapy class for them.
The fine arts classes: drawing, painting ceramics, sculpture and Jewelry were great fun Julie Ma thews said, "You' re only good if you want to be good at it."
"Don't ever give up, but challenge yourself,'' said Demon Arts member, Denise Marquardt , as she brought her painting to perfection.
Golden artists all seemed to agree, "You gotta have art!"

Thirty performances a year for a high school s1ng1ng group? That was ridic\:llous, but the 24th Street Singers did that and more during the year, under their Director, Caroline Mallory . Shuffled along from one concert to the next, these 16 ladies and gentlemen brought the house down with their glorious charm and melodious voices. Malloi:y commented, "Since this year's group has been such a success, we are planning a trip to Hawau in the spring, hoping to win a contest there."
Another performing group was the Concert Choir. This was the largest group of all. During Christmas this group came alive, giving two outstanding performances.
Mountain Magic, a word that explained exactly what these 11 pretty ladies did to audiences throughout the year. This group's style was more modern with many show and pop tunes. C a roline M a llor y exclaimed, ''The girls' voices Just seem to blend with each other so well that it's amazing." During Christmas these ladies were busy with three concerts a week, but their love and dedication to the group never died.
Another ladies' group, The Voice of Mariah, made their debut around Christmas with a mixture of pop and sacred selections. Mallory felt that these girls were full of talent and would le t it blossom in their later high school years.
"One, two, three " and a blast of sound issued forth from the freezing band members during the f1rst quarter of band Julie Richardson was the drum ma1orette for the marching band and kept all of the partially frozen members practicing for perfection. Ross McClure , the band director, merely looked on from the patch of sun available on some mornings. Junior, Doug Rosen said, "Ross seems to make hfe a lot more bearable," regardless of many hours spent practicing the d1ff1cult maneuvers as well as the music. "Music 1s an art e x pressing different moods," stated Denise Marquardt concerning the e ffort put 1n by each member. This made band worthwhile.

Drama, d1tt1es and dancing; these were what made Grease so enjoyable to most of its viewers. This production ran November seventeenth through the twenty-first and lingered 1n our minds for some time after it was over.
The acting showed the pride that Golden actors and actresses held for Grease, the hard work that was put into it, and its director's talent. The " Grease Pit" (the band) gave the show electrification which made this rock musical big and bold. Singing in the production was mainly of star quality. Some newcomers were initiated into the
musical world, and did fine, but it was the veterans who stole the show. The dancing was exciting and humorous John Klug said, ''It's a production made for teenagers." That's why this controversial production was selected. Grease was argumentative because of some of the language and motions used, and because of the theme that was put across. Grease rose above most of its problems and became very entertaining. It will go down in the GHS theater's history as "Electrify• ti ing.
Technical Arts program was one of the most produchve departments Its classes were continually turning out very professional wood, metal, upholstery and drafting work Many examples of this craftmansh1p were displayed throughout the year 1n the woodshop area.
Were it not for the tech. arts program, there would have been many students without an elective credit.
The auto branch of the department also did hne work The teachers provided a good background of the basic skills for any auto owner's needs, while they have the more interested mechanics the knowledge they needed to help them pursue a career.
Throughout the years, the department has existed, 1t has always done a great Job, and looks forward to many more successful years.

DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) prepared students for the world of business in marketing and sales. Students learned many important basics in class, while earning an extra credit for on-the-Job training.
The school store, The Demon's Den, was used as a lab for Juniors, involving the principles of sales and money management.
Not all stud en ts 1n DE classes had a job, yet most believed the class
would help them 1n future ventures and business experiences.
The reasons for J01n1ng DECA varied from Jeff Greenlalgh 's , "I want the two credits," to Pa tty Schaefer , "wanting to learn more about the marketing process."

PE allowed students to have fun and stay in shape. PE also broke the routine day of lectures and homework It helped students improve skills in their sports or just to stay ht. The classes ranged from weight lifting to playing golf and tennis. There were a number of reasons to take PE, but the largest reason was because students en1oyed it
When asked why he took PE, junior Brya n Bennett said, "I wanted to improve in my sports."
When approached with the same question, senior Mike H a wkin s said, " I wan ted to get s tronger and stay physically ht.''
Meanwhile, Bonni M a tich , sophomore, said ''I took PE to keep in shape, play sports and to have a break during a busy day."
Everyday during sixth hour in VT-7 , a s pec ial group of people met to discuss the various achvihes _# planned for GHS.
Their planning included: the ice cream social at the beginning o f the school year, homecoming achvihes, sandblasting and repainting the "G,' ' beautifying campus, community involvement , and prom.
These dedicated students made a lot of big ideas become realities, and few people realized the p lanning and organization that wen t into making this year a year to remember The efforts and achievements of this year's officers have made it a year of fun and excitement, despite the long hours of homework.

Did you ever see the counseling center empty? No, of course not. The center usually resembled the hustle-bustle of a large city.
In fact, the center was also referred to as the heart of the school. It was widely used, especially by seniors The center contained loads of college information with volunteers and student advisors available for help.
Not only did the student advisors help as far as college went, but they were also there for personal help.
"If students have a problem, it's of ten easier for them to come and talk to a person their own age than to an adult We're here to help them," said one advisor.
To the school, the center and helpers were an irreplaceable asset. For the students who used them, the only repayment was a big "Th k " an -you .

Once again, the math program offered a variety of classes Everything from everyday math to the technical area of computer math.

If there was ever a phrase to describe the Golden Exposure staff, it would certainly be ''getting the show on the road " The staff definitely performed hke stars, but it wasn't all giggles and grins.

There was one major change in the staff Shirlee Goodliffe made her star debut as, not only newspaper but also yearbook adviser, a task not undertaken by the weak of heart.
So while the rest of the world struggled through everyday life, the Trident staff did its best to document that struggle. With professionalism and a zest for getting the facts, they strove to record monthly the events of GHS.

Social Studies.
"Of all the good sensations in the world, understanding 1s the best Now all we have to do is learn to duplicate it thousands of times," said Dewain Wood as he gave an insight into his feelings of education.
Social Studies gave students the opportunity to acquire this knowledge 1n various courses.
And although the students spent at least two years attending social studies classes, did they actually understand the meaning of social studies?
"Not many know this," Roger Myers commented, "but, social studies 1s actually a derivative of the
Latin phrase 'socius quid pro studium,' which translated literally means, it is a wise man that breaks no wind in the forest.' " What this had to do with social studies remained unclear
However, the social studies teachers felt that their department was the best. Mike Mathis summed this up by saying, "When you care enough to do the very best, take social studies.''
And the best is what a group of 55 students who attended Youth in Government did. They formed the largest delegation and won an award for being the Ou tstanding School in the Bi-State Region.
Oh , the stories revealed 1n social studies! But sJme -:if thPm pr•)bably weren't the kind that teachers would care to hear hke the conversation passing be· tween Shawn G11lesp1e and Jim Smith

Home Economics Related Occupations and Future Homemakers of America have been two successful organizations at school Both clubs provided students the basic skills needed to become better homemakers and successful in home economics occupations.
HERO , headed by newcomer, Emily Gibbs, had high hopes for their club, as they earned $2 ,000 in various fund raisers. The prospect of sending Junior, Denise Braden , to be a state officer, was qui te impressive. President, Mike Meindl, VP, Dalarie Ohlerking, and Secretaries, Cheryl Montoya and Alis on Gaddis kept busy prepar-
ing for next year's act1v1hes such as a cut-a-thon for our long-haired live-ins.
FHA pulled off an impressive year with candle selling and presenting a mock wedding. Stuart Schultz , Lori Montoya , Bret McNichols , Lisa Heisler , Don Kerber , and Dee Ann Hoekstra all became Mr. and Mrs , respectively before the studen ts. Sponsor, Vangie Bratt, w as quite pleased with the ceremonies President, Kelly Atkinson, VP, Susan Averett, and secretary, Leah Ashby did a proficient Job in proving that homemaking could be a rewarding opportunity for all
l IFBLA, Future Business Leaders of America consisted of business oriented students trying to help the community and the school They not only raised money to send members to District competition but also found hme to do such things as caroling at a local nursing home
These students were enrolled in one, if not more, of the business classes at school The classes helped students to prepare for the ir future, while some gave skill, and still others offered on-the-Job training.
All 1n all, the students' early introduction into business gave them a definite edge over the rest of the working world.
FBLA
Many courses made up the Special Education Program. The best known was W.E S., Work Experience Study, which was a joint venture between employment and academic classes. Vocational Education prepared the students for their future Jobs and some claimed that W.E.S. was the best thing that could happen for them.
P.C., Perceptual Communication, helped the under achievers top out with their full potential. P.C. was an additional class that interlocked into the normal classroom
schedule. This program helped students deal with areas of most trouble to the individual
Another source was S.I.E B.D., Significant Idenhhable Emotional Behavioral Disorders, which was designed to help the individual at their o wn level.
Meeting requirements in the business world and helping to reach the full potential of the students was the main goal for the instructors. Needless to say, they reached their goal.

Dear Friend, How do I say farewell, dear friend?
You have given so much to your family - your students and your friends
Few are so fortunate as we who have known you.
I know you have struggled for release from your pain and illness - yet wanting to do more - to be positive for others - to still help others.
Dee, you have brought so much to us all. For me the things we've shared are more important than any material gift I could receive As mothers we've laughed and cried together - as co-workers we've had a closeness in thought and action - but as friends, we found a truly once in a hfehme happening.
Everyone 1n the class of 82 had some uniqueness in them, yet some seemed to stand out more than others. The following students are just a couple of the many special senior students which enhanced GHS.

Twenty-seven seniors from all walks of Golden created this year's Senior Seminar. From Puerto Penasco, Mexico to Vicksburg, M1ss1ssippi, Senior Seminar experienced more of hf e than the classroom had to offer. With the help of their fearless leader Dewain Wood and many other faculty members, the students broadened their horizons by the teachings of various environments
Learning experiences ranged
from whale watching off the coast of San Diego to conquering a twenty mile Grand Canyon hike. Creating somewhat civilized outdoor toilets and spending eight days "pitted out" away from showers were also included in the student's travels.
As a farewell, the seminar1tes left their mark on the school by creating two artistic murals in A building, depicting scenes common to the G.H.S. community.

The turn-out for the girl's track team was record-breaking. Although Sam Petroff was pleased, he felt, "They were a young team " and thus, there was work to be done
And the hard work paid off; one of the many sophomores, Dana Morrison, stated , ''Our team has tremendous spirit because everyone gives support to each other which helps us to give that extra effort."
The girls were a strong team with all members consistantly giving their best As a result, they placed hrst 1n a number of meets.

Consisting mostly o f sophomores and Juniors, the team had a bright fu ture ahead of them as far as ne xt year was concerned. H o wever, this aspect lost its glory as it was Coach Stecklein 's las t year as coach.
When Mike Jones was as ked ho w he felt about this, h e replied, " I was disappointed o f ho w the w ho le affair took place. As far a s the team is concerned, we are young and we will be b e tter ne x t year."

The tennis season was a season of ad1ustments for the lady varsity team. The main need for adjustment was in the number two and number four doubles, having lost a returning member from each pair. The varsity team lost number one singles player Sherri Frederick.
As the vacant spots were filled, especially in the doubles gaps, the girls had to learn to play with their new partners, which was no easy task.
The varsity's two and nine record un1ustly displays the effort put forth in nightly practices, and the immeasurable enthusiasm shown during each game

The baseball team had a long cold season - just ask Coaches Mark Hornecker and Mike McLellan. That k1ndof weatherwas a hardship on baseball teams and especially the pitchers. It had to be a disappointment to senior Kirk Johnson who had worked out almost daily all last year to be one of the pitchers.
However, the outlook for next year was good. Most of the team was comprised of juniors who loved the game and were anxious to play. They should be real contenders next year.
It was a growing season for the girl's soccer team. Although there was plenty of talent they lacked experience. However, under the coaching of Dixie Wac.h ter and with the help of co-captains Miki M cClenny and S.herri P a ricio, and a tough training program, with running the main policy, the team was able to gain needed experience.
The team's motto was: "If you can't win by skill, then will by cond1 tion1ng."
"Try to Remember " the show that gave "Much More" with 1t' s "Happy Ending" and "Rape Ballet."
These song titles all came from the critically acclaimed spring musical , "The Fantast1cks." The performance was zestful, comedic, romantic, creative and fantastic.
"The Fantasticks", directed by John Klug and musically directed by Caroline Mallory, was a parable of young love. The two fathers of the show, played by Doug Rosen and Chip Romig, were delightful in their portrayal of parental marriage counselors.
The fathers wanted their chil-
dren, Rhonda Boyd and Mark Ackerman , to marry so they tricked them into love by telling them not to fall for romance.
Other actors in the show were Ron Beckner as the Spanish sem1vilhan, Andrea Lackey as the "t1ethe-show-together" Mute and Jim Jenkins and Joe Marker as the hired actors that hlled 1n the loose parts of the show.
"The Fantashcks" turned out to be the gem of the theatrical season. The orchestra was professional, the themes of the show were touching and the cast developed their characters well to portray this "Fantastic" musical.

The feeling of Prom was one of sophishcahon, but not so much that high schoolers couldn't enJoy the. pleasures of the last ma1or school event before graduation.
Prom was held at the Green Center on the School o: Mines campus :rom 9 o'clock to midnight on May 8. The theme was "In the Hands o: Time" with Holly Morgan and Eric Harrison as Prom Royalty Diana Pierce and Kent Lemburg sang the theme song 'Through the Years" by Kenny Rogers.
Juniors, Seniors, and some Sophomores attended, along with much of the faculty. The crowd made sure to see what everyone present was wearing or with whom they came as couples walked down the staircase onto the red carpet.
Prom was friendly and relaxing, fun and exciting, invigorating and grand to make the enJoyment o f it all intoxicating.
