olden ha s a large number and variety of English classes. Many Engli sh classes s imply teach che mechanics of our lan guage. Ho\-vever , some classes attempt to find creative ways co enlighten st udents and acnvate their minds. Publi c Communication/ Mass Media is a popular course where students give speeches and make comme rcial s about fake products and services. These fake serv ices include " Rent a Sen ior Citizen," a service to hire sen ior citizens to clean your house for you. AP English is an advanced English class for seniors which gives many s tudents an idea about what college level english c ourses are like , as well as a background 1n class i c American literature. The variety of eng li sh classes offered at Golden provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the class. Children's Theatre lees students express themselves through acting, while Independent Reading and Writing provides ochers with an opprrunity co write \Vhac they feel.

isrory c lasses at Golden cove r a wide range of study. AP World History 1s one of the mo st interesting and difficult clas,es a· Golden. Shannon Barrows and Bob Stokes create an int-!rest ing learning environment by s howing sl ides and videos, perfor'lling demonstrat1ons, and assigning interesting projects Mrs. Barrows said " AP Hi story challenges students to use analytical and critical thiriking to gain a better understanding of the world chey live in today." Fo example, in December che sophomores dressed up and gave presentations as hi storical figures to learn more about the impact chese people had on history. Whether they were dressed as Aristotle, Cleopatra, or Robin Hood , all the costumes were original and ente rtaining; many students even had co dress up as the opposite sex. In American History , student11 interact vvich each other to discuss our nation,s past In American Government , chey become involved with the government and learn to become active citizens. Hi story c lasses give every GHS student .i background about how far society has co me in the past and where wear· going in the future .

h e yearbook staff truly starte d from s quare one chi s year. We had ne,v e dicors- inch1ef, se niors Adam Nims and R yan Nee, who s truggled trying to tea ch their inexperienced s taff ho\v to cr eate a good year book There ,vas a n ew system for submitting year book pages, sen ding ch em 1n on di sk instead of printed out, which led to a lot of problems at first, because no one r ea ll y knew what rhey were doing. Senior Ryan Nee said , " I had absolutely no idea chat b e ing Editor-in-Chief \vould be so difficult. Produ cing chi s book is like a full time job, yet I'm not getting paid for some reason. Sometimes I am in the yea rbook room at 10 :3 0 p m ., finishing up my work, wondering why I ever decid ed to do this co m yse lfl " Nee, Nims and their sec tion editors, Drew Zarn, M elissa Ford and Heather M cDowell managed co make it through the yea r w1ch a finished book , Start1ngfrom Square One. Senior Adam Nims sa id , "Ye arbook is a mu c h different class than any other. Ir 's che only class where our hom ewor k gets publi shed for the rest of che school to read."

Throughout all of th e chaos of making a 240 page book, the yearbook st aff managed to keep their s anity , except on deadline da ys. Senior Drew Zarn sa id , " Deadlines are pretty hard. Imagine having co do all of yo ur classmates hom ewo rk for them and chen having it printed 1000 times." Overall , th e staff made it through che yea r with a book we are proud of.

hhh... yearbook. Four years ago, I stumbled into the yearbook class as a skinny little freshman. Now, I leave this class as a skinny ttde senior. I worked hard and moved up through the ranks coward the "glorious" editor-in-chief pos1non and finally made it. I had absolutely no idea \.vhat I \.Vas getting into. Being the head honcho of this book has been the most difficult experience of my life. When staff members didn't care, I had to. When problems arose (which they dtd every few mtnutes), I had co fix them It was insane co say the least.

There are a bunch of yearbook people who helped me through the process chat I think deserve some recogn1t1on for chetr\vork. First of all, Dale Webster and Chris Johnson: you guys taught me ho\.v to develop good \.veb sir es and started off an inte rest 1n graphic design \vhich changed my future choice of career and changed my hobbies and interest very much for the better. Mr Finelli: \.vhtle we never got along extremely well, you gave me a huge apprecianon for good layout, design, \.Vnt1ng and photography. Tim and Joe: I gave you guys a pretty hard nme\vhileyou \Vere here abou t being bad editors, but I didn't realize all the stuff chat you guys did co gee the book published chat I didn' c even see Stef, Heacher, Kane C., Zenker, Jimmy, Medina, Jay, Kacie R., Jen, Abbey, Barker, Eh and all of che ochers: thanks for all of the c razy deadline days and all of the help over the years. Eli: thanks for the constant supply of "\Vater and che "cl-holes."

2001 Yearbook Editors

There are many things chat one can learn from being in a leadership pos1cion. For three years I dreamed of being the ed1tor-1nchief for the Golden High School yearbook I thought char it would be all "fun and games" and chat I wouldn' c have to do anything bucedic. No no. I ,vas gravely mistaken. le rakes hours upon hours of hard, ced1ous \.Vork. I don't mean to sav that I ,

didn't enjoy tt, I will neverregretdoingthe yearbook. I will look back on these years with a big smile on my face for the rest of my life. That smile will be built from the memorres and lessons learned from these four years.

My knowledge 1s as follows. The first

,Vfe're

lesson: after 13 straight hours of working on cheyearbook, sustainingyourse lf on nothing bur cl-holes and water, you go nuts. Lesson two: under the same conditions the people around you will start co go nuts as well. Lesson three: crazy/angry/ hungry people a re not productive.

A goo d staff is the most invaluable object co an editor. They a re the heart of the yearbook: if they bear, the yearbook will live; 1f they don't have a pulse, the yearbook dies. I would like co thank all of th e people chat worked s1de-bysid e with me during the four years of being on the yea rbook staff: Dale and Chris for showing me what an editor-in-chief is sup po se d to do ; Mr. F1n elli for showing me discipline; Mr. Bill Kelley for caking the yearbook under his wing after che retirement of Mr. Finelli; Drew Zarn, Melissa Ford and Heather McDowell for being the eve r-helpful editors; S cef with an f, Chris Medina Aaron Barke r, Ryan Zenker, Kacie Carlson a nd Abby Pfisterer for all of che help. Plus, Eli Marcin for che water and cl - hol es. Nee, I ,vould like to

Now I want to thank my "co-workers" from chis yea r as well: Drew, Melissa, Nims and Kelley. Without you guys, chis book would have been 240 blank pages, so hopefully the people who complain about che book year after year give you four some credit for giving chem something to gripe about Without the five of us (espec iall y Drew and Melissa) working extreme ly hard on chis book, it would have been pretty horrible. Thank you guys. I hop e co f never eat pizza at school when it is eight at night with you ever again. ij I also have a bunch of people co thank "in the normal world." My parent> have been a huge inspiranon for che crazy amount of work ethic needed co complete chis book. My brochers are pretty cool t oo; if anybody at s hool thinks I am funny, it's all just stolen matenal from chose two chat I take red1t Dr for. Suckers. All of my non-yearbook fnends have been awesome toe ana have dealt with all of my griping about the yearbook staff and have s )rt~d IIt through all of my "yearbook crazy calk" about ladders, sig natures, gu cers re folios, multiples, spot color, CMYK and all of that st uff. I don't really -ieea y, co hsc all of my friends, but I \.vill anf\vay: Krista, Austin, Gerni, Keith, l\.latt J erec, Kelly, Abby, Meredith, Parry, 'Duarda, J anec, Jared, Carri e, Lee, Arnie, r.n Emily, Sean I, Sean II, Fields, Cody, Jason T., Andy, che Autumn's Favor kids, Eric, Bruno, Adam K. and a bunch of ocher people I can't rememb er. Gary and Lori from Jostens are my heroes. I'd also like co thank my three r yearbook dra,vers: Dra\ver Wars, The Drawer Strikes Back a nd Return of the Drawer-di. Yeah, ne yeah... I nam ed m : yearbook dra,vers a· (c ter Star Wars mov u ies I'm the editor- f in-chief of the yearbook, an acnve mcmber ofWeb Club, ant an all around dorky guy. What else did you expect?

In co n cl usion , (am I \vriting an essay')) it's been a pretty radical year. Yes, radical I don't r ea ll y kno\\· what co say here, so I am JUSt going to stop \VC1t1ng.

Adios,

thank you most of all. We worked on che yearbooks toge ch er all four years and some how have remained best friends amazing. Your artistic and design talent will continue to amaze me. I would also like to thank my parents for understanding all cho se nights when m y place at che dinner table was empt}•

ll Thank you everyo n e.

W Se n iors Ryan Nee, Adam Nims, Drew Zarn and sophomore Meli ssa Ford take a break from their hard work on a deadline day Acrually, this ts J USt a really poorly made: photo ma n ipulation by Ryan and Dre-.v after finding a goofy picture of Adam on one of the computers and go in g a liccle bit overboard wu h tt

Ryan Nee, Editor-in-Chief

Adam Nims Edicor-1n-Ch1ef

ts kind of funny how when you are a yearbook advisor, ocher teachers on -l che staff ,vane co know: How are you doing? Are you holding up well?

Having any problems? How's the book corning along? You ' re not tired of t1i doing the yearbook yet, are you? Why, I gee more attention chan a Br1tney Spears poster ac an all-male high school. The cruch is, they just hope I don 't go insane and quit because chey don't wane co have co do che Job (isn't thac nght Byrno?)

This ts my second year as advisor of the Demoniurn, and once again, I never t1 v.oul d have gotten chrough che year with my sanicy had ic not been for the dedicanon of some top-notch staff members. I really need co thank Ryan , Dre\\, Melissa, Heacher and Adam for all of che long hours they put in. They 1 truly care about the book and how ic looks and reads , and chey did a tremendous amount of work in designing , editing, and revising the pages co produce che book you see here I ,vould also like co thank Jen Sestrich and Ryan Serpan, who came in on their own time first semester co help proofread pagts, cype baby messages, and do j use about anything chat was asked of chem. Jen then decided co J0tn the staff second semester, and I can only say I wish she chose yearbook as an elecnve every year.

I hope you like the pages you see throughout the book chis year. Are there some mistakes? Sure, it 's a scudent publication and there are always going co be errors, no matter how carefully we proofread Is chere room for improvemenc? No doubt. But I chink you will see some inceresnng design ideas chis •~ vear, and 1fyou like what you see, be sure to say chank you co Ryan , Drew, and !\ieltssa. They cook it upon chemselves co dress up che pages by adding little touches char most people don ' t notice consciously, bur really add to the overall 1 appearance.

Oh, and one ocher ching Whacever Ryan Nee cells you about my Jack 1 Nicholson impersonation, it 's not true I swear it. It 's not even a very good c one, but when ic 's midnight on a Friday and you have been working on the i book for 10 hours straight, almost anything seems funny

his year has definitely been strange. As my second year 1n yearbook I was suddenly thrown into the in sane world of editors. Thanks co Nims, Nee and Drew for making my life more stress ful than the average teenager 's. Ir's been a blast.

No one will ever forget all the days we s pent 1n this dismal cave we call a computer lab. For hours on days off, weekends and after school we were chrown together despite early morning c rankiness, social and school related stress. Every nme I walk out of the room pare of my memory is erased and I can't remember where I put anych1ng like disks and s preads. I will always remember distorted pictures , scyrofoam cowers, sea men, my favorite hccle concortionisc, people w1ch loud and annoying s1ng1ng voices, observing allday forensics tournaments, Am I Hoc or Noc? and Le Peep's. Thanks co Ryan and Jen for doing work, even though you weren ' t enrolled tn the class and always being 1n a good mood I'd also like co thank Blake because wuhouc him I would've gone insane a long nme ago As long as I'm thanking my fnends, I'd like co thank Kirn , Kevin , Andy , J 111 , Amy , Enca, Sarah, and all the ocher ,vonderful people in my life

And to che seniors I will soon be w1chouc. don 'c worry guys, you'll be gecnng a lot of calls from me next year Thanks Drew for always being there for me (we ll I guess you have no choice when you live next door), and all the memories I have of creehouses , cat fights , trampolines, potato guns, water balloons , rocks , snakes, unfinished s now fores, and " midnight " cops and robbers. Ic 's been fun, buc for some reason I don ,c chink che neighbors will miss us when we are alJ gone. Tomorrow tomorrow's che day for those s now fores.

Thanks co Gary and Kelley for s howing us how things are su ppo sed to be done Wichouc them, the yearbook would've had a loc more blank pages scattered randomly throughout the book. I hope everyone en Joys some aspect of chis year's book.

Melissa Ford, Assistant Editor

o, we're done. That was fun. Kelley , chis year ruled. • Thanks for all the pizza, pop , and fun times until 10 :3 0 at night. And the G4s. We wouldn ' t have a book without chem even if we are a few grand in debt. A special chanks goes co Pizza Hue for their Big New Yorker. Nee and Nims, ya done good with the whole Ed1cors-1n-Chief ching. No organization made the year fun. Nims, we did llmosc an en tire hour ofwork during a whole year ofsrudencasststanc between breaking CD players and random ski trips. Nee, what is there co say? Chair bowling rules. Random sayings are great. lfer. .I know you had fun in here , ~ven 1f ,ve didn't work at all. Maybe because of chat. Don ' t forget: CDs are round and nighttime is dark How 's I-70 creann ya? Kane R., you really did do ,vork, even if I gave you crap. Good luck next year. You ' re beaunful. Remember: Ear baby, not socks. Kane C., I'm glad you came back. This semester was a lot better with you back in here. Issa, you're insane. You ' re also preccy much the only reason chis year's book got done Good luck next rear chat should be interesting. Think you'll be able co handle it without backrubs:> Try not co kill certain yoga-boys.

Now I wane to chank everyone else. Krista, Serpan, and Seth, thanks for c.om1ng 1n and helping us ouc with all the crap we were coo burnt out co do Lora, thanks for talking co me all chose nrnes I walked out of class and came to visit you. You still owe me a pig. Jenna and Krista , thanks for talking co me lace at night online and listening co my complaints. I know you got sick of me, bur you listened anyways.

For che good members in our staff, thank you. Having some people who 1 ared about the book really helped co make ic a good one. D-holes and water, d holes and water.

Lase but not lease, I have co thank Texas for a few things. Without you, \Ve wouldn't have as many horrible drivers, stupid people, or bad skiers, and we v.ouldn't have to suffer through Dubya. Thank you so much

or four years, I have been a yearbook slave, and ic has been a wild ride. I never thought I would end up being one of chose editors of the snnktn' yearbook, but here I am! And now, it's time co retire my Job as People Ed1eor co some ocher unwillingv1 c cim Bue anyway

I want co thank Mr. Kelley for giving me chis opporcunicy co actually be in charge of someching in che yearbook, and thanks for having confidence 1n me Many thanks to Nee, Drew and Nims; ic's been such a blast to work w1ch you guys. There has never been a dull day when you guys are around. Thanks co Kacie C. for keeping che class in line, you cell chem Kare! Ocher thanks go our co Jennifer , Paul , April and Kane R. Thanks for putting up with me! Big thanks go out co my fnends who have put up with my gr1p1ng about yearbook for four years: Kie, Fauble, Jusnn , Eli, Jon, James , Theresa and Kira, thanks for letting me complain co you! If I forgot anyone, I still love you, I just have a very bad memory
