Through the years, former students had as much fun as we do now.

The Spanish students of 2007 and 2008 were presented with an opportunity of a lifetime They traveled to Costa Rica for a Spanish immersion and community service trip . The trip consisted of ten days traveling from San Jose to La Lucha . It began with a little jet lag and then pumped full force when the group went white water rafting Then , they headed towards the center of Costa Rica , La Lu cha , for the community service and home stay portion of the trip. F ive days were spent painting and working on a reforestation project During the home stay, most kids realized that the animals in the backyard were there in the morning and on your plate at night. ''The most extraordinary experience is living without so much and still having everything you want right in front of you ," says Erin Walth .

When you are thrown into a setting with a different language, you tend to pick it up pretty quickly. Melissa Ferris remarked , " I was amazed how much Spanish I could actually comprehend and speak ." While they worked hard during their trip , the group was able to play and boarded the bus for La Playa Hermosa They went s norkel ing and had time to enjoy the beautiful country they were in

Mas Gallo Pinto por favor. A main staple in Costa Rica 1s Gallo Pinto It's a dish of black beans and white nee served at every single meal and something the group learned to like Jen Kolm says , "The food was amazing! It was fun to try food from another culture "

The wheels on the bus. The group spen t many hours on a small , cramped , stuffy bus Spending all that time 1n close-quarters really brought the group together and they learned more about each other "Riding on such a small bus was def1nitely a new experience," says L au r e n Sagese r

School really is cool. The kids 1n Costa Rica were so excited to have so many visitors J ordan T id b a ll -Sciu ll o had already been to Costa Rica twice before , but he said , " It never ceases to amaze me how much I get ou t of teaching and playing with the children They are always so fnendly and open with you "

The academically exceptional GHS biology students of 2007-08 were invited on a trip to Hawaii. " It was a trip of a lifetime' " said the entire group. The prerequ isites to be invited on the trip consis ted of a year of biology with a grade of 90 % or higher, interest in the ocean and a teacher recommendation. It was the 24th year that Golden students have participated in the research and exploration trip Other Jeffco schools traveled with the group as well , totaling about fifty students. After a morning lecture , the students worked in sma ll groups dur ing field study. Instead of a desk and chair, the biology classroom now consisted of the shallow coral ecosystems and the shoreline of Hawaii. Students spent time working on their field books and labs while studying in Hawai i.

Their objectives co nsisted of understanding and respecting the Hawa iian culture, developing snorkeling techniques , visi t ing volcanoes, identifying endangered species , and developing an appreciation for the uniqueness of the Hawaiian ecosystems The cost of the trip included travel , room and board, and tuition It 's a very studious trip , but the students still had time to play and enjoy the beauty of Hawaii.

• Hawaii Preparatory Academy Dorms . While in Hawaii , the s tudents stay at the Hawaii Preparatory Academy Each student shared a room with another student.

• Slow but sure Over the course o f the trip, the group saw more than a few Green Sea Turtles

After spending 175 days inside the walls of Golden High School, the students of GHS are ready to hit the hot spots of summer when the last school bell rings . Susie Lane says , ''The best part of summer is that I don ' t have to wake up at six in the morning ." So what are GHS students up to on the warm summer days? " Most of the time I go down to the creek because I know I will see someone that I know to hang out with ," comments Aaron Knight . A recent student survey concluded that six out of ten kids hang out at the creek, which is located right in front of the Golden Recreational Center On the other hand , the pictures at the top show Golden students racing at Bandimere during their down time. Trent Vanner comments, " I got fifth place!"

While the kids hang out in Golden , GHS staff takes advantage of their time off and head out on vacation. Wedding Bells were ringing this summer for Mrs. Fine and Mrs. Kinghorn. Mrs. Garvin enjoys spending time with her daughter Other staff members get active and fish, bike, hike and kayak their time away Whether its heading to the creek , staying active, getting married, or just relaxing, everyone knows how to enjoy their time off.

After a long Homecoming week full of fun , the best parts were yet to come . The traditional GHS Homecoming parade through downtown Golden led everyone straight to the Homecoming game. Everyone could agree that this was a game to remember, whether it was their first or their last . ''This homecom ing game was bittersweet because it was my last one , but I think that it was the best game of my four years on the team ," said Senior Aspe n G ro ff. This year, as Golden rivaled Kennedy, the Demon football team took a victory home as they outplayed the Commanders

The Saturday after the big game was the activity everyone was waiting for : the Homecom i ng dance This years dance was much different from in the past because the dance was hosted in the new school gym In order to preserve the new floor , everyone decided to call it a "sock hop" and danced the night away-shoeless. With the new school , a successful football win and lots of school spirit , this was definitely a Homecoming to remember.

Ha lloween at Golden High School certainly wasn't anything less than awesome, with costumes ranging from blow up air suits to Harry Potter. In memory of Heath Ledger, Cole Sharpe dressed up as the Joker. " I th ink some of the costumes are just so in tere s ting . I love just laughing at some of the things people think up," says Sophomore Noelle Rocheleau . Despite the changes in the year, some things remain the same : Halloween cooks up creative costuming for students and tea c he rs alike

H anging out 1s a common activity when students are not in class The ca feteria , library, and courtyard are just a few of the places students tend to be. T he cafeteria is the only place ,n the schoo l where studen ts are a l lowed to have cell phones; therefore, it make s it a good gathering place for students on the ir off blocks. The library is a wonderful place for studying or even if stude nts just need a little quiet tim e . Wherever st ud ents pass the time, they defin itely like to kick back and relax. "Duri ng my off blocks , I get a lot of work done 1n the library It 's a quiet place to work and allows me to take less homework home at the end of th e day," comments Se n ior Brooke Palmer .

Like the school, the Demons throughout the years have changed. While all reflect the same Golden High School mascot, over the years, student artists have changed the shape and form of its demon to represent Golden's icon in many different ways .

Over time, Golden's Demon took on a life of its own, becoming recognized not just as a mascot, but one with a name: Demon Dan It was his face that perched above the old school's bleachers and the mascot that most of the students and faculty recognize.

As our school takes on a new look, so might its Demon. Perhaps another artist will come along that will generate a new face to represent our school mascot. Until then, we can appreciate the efforts of those students who proudly produced Demons throughout the decades.

EDITOHS OF 01.D The newspaper staff of 1929 sits down to a hard day ' s work. What goes into producing a publication today is very different from the print and press of long ago Technology has given us much better ways to produce work fast and in color!

When one picks up the yearbook at the end of the year, what do they look for? For some it is their school portrait. For others , its just a walk down memory lane as they search to find friends they hang out with or activities they were a part of. Whatever the student body does with their book, the outcome and ideas were brought together through the yearbook class and staff.

The yearbook staff works hard to produce a book that chronicles nearly a year of Demon Life. The work is hard and deadlines are c onstant. However, it can also be rewarding and fun The yearbook staff attends as many functions as they can to take pictures throughout the year. Senior Tasha Simmon' s comments, "I am always busy getting something done in here . But at the same time , I enjoy what I do I hope that everyone likes what we have to offer this year! "

HELPI NGOUT MVP leaders were ready and waiting the first day of the school year. They gave assistance to staff and students alike and kept the students moving throughout the day.

The MVP leaders are a select group of Juniors and Seniors that work with the Freshmen during the first semester to help them adjust to high school, learn to make good choices and facilitate various discussions and activities . "I love feeling like I ' m actually helping people do better in the choices they make and actions they do ," says Junior Austin Campbell .

The group has been actively involved in working with the Freshman during their MVP classes They plan their activities during their MVP class on Tuesdays and then put their plans into action the following Thursdays Mostly, their work involves valuable lessons that can assist the Freshman in becoming successful students at Golden High School as well as in the outside world .

ABOVE Senior Andrew Cooper welcomes the students to the new Golden High school at the opening assembly. l.1:Ff MVP leaders make sure their voices are loud and clear in Freshman MVP classes.

It is an honor to be selected to be an MVP leader, and the sixty-eight Juniors and Seniors who are a part of the organization understand the importance of their roles as mentors . "It's a good way to stay active and involved with the new students , especially since I'm a Senior," comments Brooke Palmer .

" I love how some tea chers don ' t understand how to calibrate the board when some of the student s do It's pretty funny but f rustrat1ng at the same time ," says Sophomore Laura Powers Although math is a required course , for different reasons students have their favorites when it comes to teachers and math concentrations.

Confusing as science may be , we all need it.

From Chemistry to Anatomy, Earth Science to Biology, and Physics to Technology, we have a very diverse selection of science courses offered here at GHS

A lot of the students tend to think that science ,s Just labs and d1ssect1ng lots of things, but science is much more than that! Science has to do with exploring the outside world, f1nd1ng out new things that have never even been thought of before, and being able to discover something new Science class includes lots of labs , dissections , learning about different animals , and much more Technology class includes the study of physics , engineering and math to design working prototypes Students learn how to make operable robots and catapults to help

There are many E nglish classes offered at Golden H igh School. While most are required , some are used as elective credit. Students are required to have a t least four years of English to graduate and will study Greek M ythology, A merican, B ritish and Contemporary L i t erature throughout their four years of English classes at G H S E lective English classes curren t ly offered at Golden are B ible M ythology and Creative Writing , bo t h of which are reserved for Juniors and Seniors In add1t1on to the study of li terature, writing skills are constantly practiced 1n c lass. This 1s probably t he least favorite past-time of most students unless, like Katherine O ' Rourke , you ' re taking Mr. Hasbrouck 's Creative Wnt1ng course But while English may not be a favorite class for many students , 1t 1s a subJect t hat will help us communicate better 1n the future This year, Golden became part of Jefferson County's 12A testing. T he test is currently being taken by Freshman and Sophomores Its purpose 1s to track ongoing progress 1n E nglish with the hope to improve reading and writing skills for our s t udents Although testing taking 1s not fun for students , the 12A test may prove valuable to the students and teachers 1n the years to come

Music Equals Life It's a simple statement that speaks for almost all. We live in a time where music conquers all , where a song can make or break a friendship , life is written in lyric, and everyone has their own soundtrack We live in a time where your favorite music says more about who you are than you can. From Soulja Boy to mosh pits , music holds h igh importance amongst Golden High students. " Music can get you through anything. It is a way of life , and it takes a lot of talent to be a musician," says Sophomore Asiah Jiron . It 's not hard for Golden students to make themselves heard Whether it 's writing music in AP Music Theory class or practicing in t he many Band, Orchestra and Choir classes, GHS talent speaks

for itself "Out of all the programs at our school, I think our music program is the most successful." says Senior Cameron Zerbest. Mu sic students have many opportunities to perform in several concerts throughout the year In addition , rock band competitions , like the one during Home coming week, offer students other venues to show off their stuff Either way, all musicians practice 1ns1de and outside of Golden 's walls to make their performances perfect.

says, "Well I don ' t really want to say anything bad about RV's music department, but I Just feel more at home at Golden like it's a better fit with all my friends here "

Senior Alex Buehler says. "When I'm done with my career as a student, I want to teach other people music, hke Dr Graves"

"Let ' s Get Physical ... Physical."

Physical education is very important at Golden High School We not only have the standard gym class, we also have weight lifting and dance classes for those students who would rather not run laps " Dance class is great," says Senior Alyssa Duran , " I always sign up for dance because I love to dance, and I can be myself;' We1ght-lift1ng class creates a strong foundation for self discipl ine and self-esteem

In addition, most of the students 1n the weight-lifting class are on a team sport at Golden H igh School so they are able to build up core strength that 1s beneficial to their sport participation The most popular class we have for Physical Education

1s Recreational Sports In Rec Sports, students play table tennis , regular tennis, hand ball , soccer and basketball. While physical education is a required class for students, i t also teaches students to work out, stay active and be healthy It also helps them decide 1f they should try out for a team or sport they like during the year At Golden High School, we believe 1n staying healthy and keeping active Since Colorado is always ranked as one of the most physically fit states, GHS students can be a part of the action 1n their P E class.

Throughout the years, music and theater continue to be an important part of Golden High School tradition. In fact, GHS has offered music and dramatic arts classes and clubs to its students for nearly a century. Whether their passion was theater, band or choir, GHS students found artistic ways to be seen and heard. Below, from left to right: A talented duo of actors participate in a 1971 play of "Don Quixote," the marching band looks ready to take the field in 1940, and the Concert Choir performs in 1960.

Much hard work and determination went into the fall musical, making it the best show put on by Stage Right Productions. For two months, the entire cast rehearsed after school almost every day, striving to make vocals perfect and getting the choreography just right. To get the students to be where they needed to be for the different musical numbers, n-: ~ , Ma.Rn k. , and Mr.~ had to collaborate in order to incorporate all of the different parts that a show of this caliber called for. However, as usual the show had just as much drama off stage as on. With a large cast and crew, tensions ran ·high at the beginning of rehearsals so they all had to learn how to work together in order to put on a good show. Throughout the practice and performance of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," the cast and crew learned many life lessons and skills, which sets up the crew and actors for a better transition from high school theatre to college or professional theatre. This year's musical was performed four times and left the Golden community amazed. After the final curtain dropped, cast and crew created many wonderful memories that will be cherished for years

Before and after the curtain drops, who knows what's going on backstage? Well , it' s what the behind-the -scenes-people call : Making the whole show possible! It's not just smiles, costumes, and acting that goes into a theater production, it's the hard work of the set design and tech crew that help to create the "vision" of the performance. The "techies" handle all electronic equipment, which includes the lights, music, and scene changes. In addition, set designs are crafted by hand and the theater students, their friends and their parents all pitch in to construct the look and feel of the production. While we are wowed by the final outcome, it's the long hours of labor that occurs backstage that makes the production a success. This also includes the acting classes that take place during school hours. Students work on their acting craft in a multitude of exercises that help put their best performance on stage. After all is said and done, what goes on backstage is equal]y as important as what we see when the curtain is finally raised .

Lots of activities can be found in the band room. It is not a place of silence but ra1.:: =- r ft Cl c,f complex sounds. When you walk into this room, you can find percus5~0nists practicing the marimba or a trombone player practicing for the Allstate Honor Band auditions. On some mornings, the room is full of musi c-loving st11dents , rirr. o learn the theory of music. They are taught how to write musi c as well n s s'Gudy why music is the way it is throughout different musical times in history. Any person in music theory class would say that it has widely broadened their view of music and listening, as well as playing their instruments The band classes offer a wide variety of styles and sounds, from concert band to drumline.

Golden High School's choirs have been noticed by many. Under the direction of Mrs. Angela Becker, students have been taught about the power of music and their voices. Some are even considering singing in other venues. Junior Karter Dean says," I used to think about singing outside of high school but it wasn't a big thing to me. Now, singing outside of school is everything to me." Under Mrs. Becker's instruction, the choirs at Golden have improved greatly. "When I was a freshman, I had prior knowledge of music and thought that the music program wasn't going to be the best I could have gone with, but it was a lot better then I expected and that made me really happy," comments Senior Alex Buehler . The community of Golden has very high hopes for GHS's choirs and anticipates many wonderful concerts in the future. Many students in choir see Mrs. Becker's creativity as being very unique and quite interesting and will continue to be a part of her very succesful program

108 Choir

Golden High School students have many opportunities to show off their musical talents, through many levels and styles of band, choir and orchestra classes. At Golden, a group of highly skilled students show off their spectacular string skills in Orchestra class. They get the opportunity to play a variety of different musical selections and styles and perform various concerts throughout the year. One of the great things about being a part of the orchestra is the friendships that form. If they're not making pyramid or checking out music together, you can be sure that they're all committed to practicing and performing together to make beautiful music. From Handel to Halo, the feeling of enjoyment amongst the orchestra student is, no matter what conductor or composer, a universal one.

In the past the clubs have been a large part of the school. Students could get involved in a variety of school sponsored activities. Left to right: The members of the 1978 Key Club gets dressed up as a group of Raggedy Anns, the "G" Club in 1940 sports matching sweaters and a serious side, the baton-twirling drill team in 1960 poses for their team picture, National Honor Society makes an academic appearance inl940, and the 1978 Rodeo club crowns some queens for the a big rodeo event!

THE STUDENTS

Judging by the name of the club, you might be to quick to conclude that NHS is filled with book worms, but the impact of these kids is known throughout Golden, not just for because of their intelligence, but because of the wonderful things they do. As the biggest club in GHS, the students hold meetings on Thursdays during access to talk about community service projects that they can participate in. "The meetings are informative because I like all the o pportunities to volunteer," said Maggie Hunt . Some local activities that they do are decorating the lights around Golden during the holidays, trick-or-treat street, and escorting the seniors during graduation. "Putting up lights in Golden is fun and it looks really nice when it's finished It definitely feels like the holidays are here," commented senior Kelly Lubkeman .

The Forensics team. proves y e ar after year that they know exactly what they're doing. When they stand at the podium, these students feel a rush of excitement rather than feeling, like most students, that they're on the brink of a nervous breakdown. The team. always brings back a smile and a top win from nearly all of their competitions. This year ' s group of "Master Speakers" have been sweeping through the competition and showing the state who's boss. Mrs. Peters says, "This is an incredible group

· of kids. They love talking and they love arguing- theywould drive most teachers nuts!" The school forensics members are also the voices of the daily announcements, The Demon's Daily Bulletin.

FCCLA is a leadership-based club that has many interesting opportunities and events that they participate in. It may be small and not well-known, but it is a lot of fun and extremely exciting. FCCLA members get involved in service projects and become leaders oftheir communities. They might be able to participate in designing houseplans for Habitat for Humanity or get involved in teaching children about proper nutrition or safety. They study and promote healthy relationships and lifestyles and their leadership projects focus on youth concerns and potential careers. Students who participate in many of the conferences, stay at hotels with students from all over the US and go to workshops, meetings, and dances. If you want to meet new people and have some fun while practicing your leadership skills, this would be the club to join.

GHS Drum.line Helps Lift Spirits of All Students

This year the school found spirit lifters not only in the cheerleaders, but in the GHS Demondrurnline. Over the past few years, this group has been getting together two days a week to practice. They had lots of fun this year going to the football games and interactingwith the crowd. The small group was even asked to play at other sporting events. Drurnline's big debut was at the homecoming assembly, though they appeared at several football games before that. The group even stayed at a lock-down, practicing until dawn getting ready for the big assembly. This group of kids have so much fun with their music. As they play for fun, everyone can hope to see them play for the school in the future

The main purpose of the Spanish Club is to develop a better understanding and interest of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture Some activities the Spanish Club takes part in are: dinner at Hispanic restaurants to practice their language skills, cultural events such as Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), service projects and spanish tutoring. The Spanish Club is one of the largest clubs at Golden The students participate for many different reasons, but mostly for the social aspect of it. They enjoy conversing and socializing in Spanish and take the time to hone their language skills. El club es diversion y excitaci6n !

The Babies and Buddies section was first seen in the Golden High School Yearbook in 1983. Back then there were only about ten entries total as opposed to today when we have over a hundred. From past to present, we all love looking at our fellow graduates as "youngins." Here's a flashback to previous alumni and their snapshots of the cute, the awkward, and the silly.

Students

can affect change. Just ask the SRO mentors who assist students who need additional support with orientation at Golden , tutoring and schoolwork organization , and even problem solving. SRO mentors are trained by Mrs Slizeski , the school Social Worker Mentors are specially selected 11th and 12th grade students and are paired with a buddy. They often sit together during lunch or school assemblies as well as during other school activities Primarily, the SRO mentors serve as positive role-models and take the time to assist others. They strive to make a difference in others' lives . " It's really fun t o be involved with SRO because you get a chance to mee t and be with people you might not otherwise hang ou t with You also create a bond with your buddy It fee ls good t o make a difference ," comments Jun io r

Chanda Ngyuen

In the End . Putting together this year 's book took creativity, commitment and lots of cameras . While we knew we couldn ' t include every shot , we definitely hoped to find a place for everyone and everything . Chronicling this year was especially meaningful with the opening of our new school. As this year comes to a close , many new memories will be made on Golden 's campus ; the yearbook staff will continue to capture as many as they can Some expressive student candids are captured on the left .

On the cover . Students anticipate the changing times From left to right: Glara Barzanji , Jackee Jensen , Eliot Green , Amy Ladebue

Photoshop Skills. Kellie Erickson worked with photoshop to apply a special effect to the cover photo and also developed the front and back endsheets. Christina Townsend was responsible for all of the division pages , il lustrating her skill in remaking various Beatles albums in the spirit of Demon Life.

Thank you. To all of the yearbook staff that contributed the i r time and attention in making this book successful.
