Water skiing, swimming and of course cliff-jumping were amon~ many of the activities the reservoir offered. Senior Jay Henke and junior Tim Wright took part in the great art of cliff-diving. "It was so high that if you didn't point your toes the water would sting the bottom of your feet," Tim explained. The swimming area just below the reservoir lended itself to many Widefield student visitors.

But el'en with an increased enrollment in the class, students had many hours of homework to complete. Anywhere from one to four hours could be spent each night.

"It's not so difficult," Cindy Brown commented about her chemistry homework, "it's just that they gil'e you a lot to do."

I think the team of the Springs is Widefield but the public just doesn't know," stated senior Pete Chase. "We have a great team that really performed well on the field. Both defense and offense contributed to the wellbeing of the team," Coach Hartman commented. When asked who was about the easiest to play, senior Jeff Unbebaun said, "Bearcreek was easy because it was the first game of the season and everyone was excited."

What motivates the e few enduring people to run despite the weather, the distance and their mood? Some of them run for other sports, such as wrestling, basketball, or track, but others, such as Jeannie Dove run, "Because I've always been good at it." Cross-country is very unrewarding despite all the efforts placed in running. "There aren't many people to cheer you on, and hardly anyone to support a win or loss," says Billy Barryhill. In other ways it can be rewarding though, according to Jeannie Dove.

Suicide Hill is an approximately one hundred yards, fifty to sixty degree grade hill towards the end of the race. Brandi Ellis says, "My strategy of running the hill is to sway from side from side to keep people from passing and to make it easier to get to the top." Most runners think that this is the best way to get to the top of the hill. Since a cross-country race consists of usually about two hundred runners, anyone finishing in the top fifty, or top twenty-five percent, has run an excellent race. One of our runners, Jeannie Dove, finished third at the Colorado Springs Met~o League in Monument Valley Park. She went on to State for her tremendous performance. She said, "I'm really excited and I think it's great for me, but I'm kind of nervous."

Sports -29 �The Game Where Love Means Nothing The Boy's Tennis team did an O\'eraU good job but felt they could ha\'e done better. They had to face the challenge of improl'ing on their records and acbiel'ing success. There were exciting moments and disappointing moments as in any sport. Coach Ralph Johnson said, "Coming in second at the Valley lnl'itational Tournament was the most exciting," and "Pat Votruba losing his first round match to Smokey Hill at districts was the most disappointing. He should ha\'e won!" Patrick Votruba, junior, #1 singles, lol'ed playing tennis and was good at it. His most disappointing moment was when he lost to Coronado and should ha\'e won, but the team won so it wasn't that bad. Pat stated, "The coach is easy going and doesn't get mad at you when you "I play Tennis don't play well. To because I'm motil'ate us, he engood at it." Pat courages us and tells us we can win." Vortruba The team felt that if the school supported them more they would do better, especially against their most difficult opponents from Palmer, Air Academy, and Cherry Creek. With support, perhap one of our players could be a future John McEnroe or Michael Chang.

Because every member of the team is important it was rather depressing when junior, Justin Lee, broke his nose and couldn't practice. Justin feels that this year was a lot better than last year and says,"lt's not whether we win or lose, it is ___..,. the unity, fun and spirit. The student body 1 supported us as much as they could and for those that did, we appreciate it a lot. Maybe next year we will have everybody's support!" Their most difficult opponent was Lewis Palmer with the final score 7-0. Junior Tom Kreutzian said, "They really caught us off guard but we stayed with it till the end." Even though the team doesn't have the greatest record, they do seem to have great team unity. There was no one person who contributed more than another. They all worked together and "It's not whether from Justin's point we win or lose, it ofview he says, "We is the unity, fun are all like brothers. and spirit." -Jus- We are there for tin Lee each other through good times and bad and respect each other in the upmost!"

To most people it is just a sport in which guys roll around on a mat. But to DaYid Schoenberger, junior, "Wrestling is one on one competition and pure heart." After last years tremendously outstanding record, it is hard for the team to repeat the same standings. DaYid states, "The only thing we're missing this year is experience, but we haYe more heart and spirit. We will be going to state and districts this year, and by that time we will be a championship team!" The team works hard at practices where they renew eyery takedown, es"My biggest cape and eYery goal is to suc- throw.

They psyche themseiYes up for matches with a moment of silence and quiet time to think. Then the team gets rowdy with a roaring cheer and they are ready to pin and win. To DaYid, "Winning is the best part of wrestling because there is nothing like putting someone on their back and pinning them." But the sport also teaches the wrestlers many important lessons. DaYid proudly adds, "It has given me a Yery competitive attitude and has taught me a lot of dicipline."

With the new coach, Miss Becke, they worked harder then e~er. Not only did they ha~e after school practice, they also had practice before school, and on Saturday mornings. Since the swim team hasn 9t had a good reputation in the past, all the swimmers were determined to be the best they could be. To help them be their best, they had "team unity, which made them better friends. Samantha Mullenix, sophomore, one of the organizers of "team unity, , said, "This year has been a ~ery exciting one. The team has impro~ed tremendously in one year. We ha~e Miss Becke and all the de~oted swimmers to thank. Practices are hard, and many times some of the girls ha~e wanted to quit; but because of the team unity we worked ~ery hard for, as a team we ha~e achie~ed something much more than another year gone by, but rather a new beginning for the team and a chance to pro~e our capabilities., Kimberly Pudder, senior, also was ~ery proud of the team. "The girls this year are really de~oted. We ha~e a lot of freshmen on the team and they are doing ~ery well. I'm glad that r~e had the prhilege of ha~ing Ms. Becke as our coach,, "It's going to be a kicking year next year," said Elizabeth Cook. ne of the problems the swim team had, was the temperature of the pool. It so warm that the swimmers would sweat. "Drinking plenty of water helped keep e~eryone from dehydrating, and becoming to hot. If you splashed cold water on your face it helped wake you up and keep you going,, said Samantha Mullenix. 0 44- Girls Swimming Girls Swim Team �Copy: Nicbole Moore Photos: Riebe Yorke Artwork: Brandi Ellis lying do n the lane, Yl'ette Abeyta, often had different workouts, since she was a sprinter.

Usually lane partner would discu s what they were going to sl't·im before they started their warm-up so the fastest swimmer could go first. A art of being on the swim team was living with the smell of chlorine 24 hours a day, no matter how much you tried to scrub it off. "What I hate," said senior Kim Putter, "no matter how hard you tried not to, you always ended up swallowing water or having it going up your nose." P he most important new member of the swim team was Miss Becke. "I really enjoyed working with the team. The girls were really great. I hope I coach the team for many years to come." T �Cheerleading Cheerleading isn't all fun and games. It is a lot of hard work and training, not to mention the patience they need to work with other people. The goal for this year was to try and achieve team unity. They usually do get along though, but there is still a little bickering at time . Everyone is being pressured to do her best to get ready for the state competitions. "Cheerleading is a great experience be- .__ _, cause it allows you to meet new people get l!iiiii~ out in public to show your excitement and II spirit for the team!" Barb Chandler, sophomore, stated. Both varsity and junior varsity consisted of21 girls. They have been working all summer and throughout the year. During the summer they worked on conditioning their bodies.

All this hard work does seem to pay off since they were nominated for state competitions, all American cheerleaders and outstanding achievements.

An athletic trainer learns how to watch for and treat injuries, learns to be more respon ible, and also learn to tape injuries so they won't reoccur. To treat an injury, a trainer must have confidence in himself and present a po itive image as a trainer. "Trainers learn first aid, medical care, and they can al o decide if they want to go to college and pursue this field," stated Mr. Tim, the athletic trainer. Some students join training because they think it is fun and it is a way to meet new faces. "I joined athletic training because I thought it would be fun and interesting to learn about the body and how it works," said Michael Castenada. Athletic trainers may - spend many hours after school, but it's worth the time and effort that they put into it. "Athletic Training could be a career."

WHAT A PIG Whether directed toward women or men, chauvinisim is present in everyone. As a part of everyday life chauvinism is an excessive enthusiasm for one's sex, race, or group, people are exposed to chauvinisim almost daily. "Guys that are chauvinistic are usually very immature," said Tara Griffin. Chauvinism is often seen as a characteristic only found in men, although women can be chauvinists as well. "Chauvinism is not just boy against girl," said senior Matt Lehn, "In some cases guys are just better at certain things than girls and vice versa." As common as chauvinism is, it is often mistaken for a joke. "People that are chauvinists are usually insecure about themselves," said junior Julie Sweetser, "They use their chauvini tic remarks as a way to be accepted." Chauvinism can take many forms. Whether female or male, chauvinism is a form of prejudice.

It marks the end of childhood dreams and the beginning of adulthood reality. The long road of independence and success lies ahead. A major part of that success is the college a person attends. "Reputation is really important in choosing a college. I mean, you probably wouldn't want to go to college that you never heard of. Yeah. It's either Harvard or Hickville U," remarks Angela McMinn. Many haYe their dreams of the perfect college. For orne, it is located h<!ar the beach, for others, party 101 is a part of their curriculum. "Most people really don't care where they go, ju t as long as it's far away from home. They'D miss their parent in the long run, you see," warns Pippi Severn.

The marching choir awakes early to dress to their theme, "In Living Color," as they march in the homecoming parade. Hot or Not: Individual Choices Making a statement about oneself is very important. If you are in today's styles, and have a dope hairdo people will respect you. It was a way to express how one felt, and how one cared to be viewed by one's peers. If you have stood in the cafeteria at lunch and viewed the students, you could have easily seen where everybody sat. There were contemporary casuals, the everyday prep, and the year to year jean scene. There were those who dared to be bold, and tho e who were happy wearing things that were left long ago on the fashion road. There were those who went out of their way to make a statement about themselves, because style was so very important to them. No matter what clothes one wore, it was apparent that most students believe style expresses one's personality and one's taste. Another individual choice concerns weekend activities. Weekends were a time to become nocturnal, to sleep all day and party aU night. Whenever it was Christmas, Halloween, or just an ordinary weekend, there would be a party. Weekends were also a time to catch up with hobbies. Stacy Burciago replied, "I like to catch up on the mall scenes." Sundays were a time to slow down and relax, have a friend over or watch a football game. Whether the weekend consisted of a wild party, hanging out at the mall, or just catching up on some lost sleep, these were two days to refuel for a long week ahead.

I like a humorous personality. He can't be a fuddy duddy. A relationship can't work without open feelings for that relationship. The most needed thing a guy should have is respect for women." Peggy Rushford, junior, replied, "The perfect guy in my life should be kind and understanding. He should also be one who lets his mate know his feelings."

Someone To Count On What is your definition of friends and best friends? What qualities do friends and best friends possess? Friends are people who will always be there when people are in need. Sophomore Crystal Young gave her definition of friends and best friend by saying, "If you moved to Pueblo while everyone else stayed in the Springs, best friends would visit. Friends would not." There are many different defmitions that people have, but they all seem to get back to the main idea that friends will always be there. Now that we have attacked and established the def'mition of friends and best friends there is another thought that needs to be defined. What qualities is it that friends and best friends po ess? "They both would be there for you when you need them, but best friends would spend or depart everything to help you work out problems or difficulties," as Crystal says. If those are the qualities that friends must possess just what is it that determines whether a somebody is a friend or a best friend? Well that answer would have to tie back to there qualities and the most important quality would have to be trust. Trust is the basis for any relationship.

Joan Wermers works with ten kids in her program, known as TMH. Her students participate in a variety of recreational and leisure activities including bowling and swimming. The district rents an apartment in which the students practice domestic skills. The students gain community skills by riding the city bus, shopping, etc. The students all have jobs at places such as the Sheraton, McDonalds, and Schlage Lock, at which the students rotate from one job to another to gain work experience in different fields. Mrs W ermer's goal for her students is for them to be as individual as possible, both vocationally and also in regards to their personal daily needs. She also explains that she wants her kids to be able to contribute to our society. As Mrs Wermer states enthusiastically, "Our students have much to offer our society and I want them to have that opportunity!"

He states that the most important things to remember are to concentrate on driving and think safety. Benefits received from taking this class include expert in truction on safe driving methods, learning the state laws, and ..... cheaper in urance. Shannon Po ey is one of the many student at Widefield who is taking Driver's Ed. The main reason she is taking these cia ses is to lower her car insurance. When she drives she does eem to get a little nervous, but by the end of the course Shannon knows she'll be able to take on the world with her expert driving. She recommends Driver's Ed to others so they can learn more about the driving laws and can lower their insurance. "That's really why most tudents take the class anyway." From the viewpoints of Mr.Suriano and Shannon Po ey, taking Driver's Ed at school for $90 is one of the best deals around. It sure beats paying $175-200 someplace else!

WeD, millions of people in the world have to wear glasses and they are probably afraid of hearing and putting up with the expressions like "Four Eyes," "Nerd", and "Coke Bottles." Luckily in the 1950's the wonderful invention of contact lenses was introduced. Even though they cost more than ordinary glasses, they do have certain advantages. For one thing they don't need to be changed nearly as much and are more comfortable. What is even better is the fact that they come is various colors. People will buy colored contacts just to change their eye color whether they need it or not. When did the invention of glasses first come out? No one knows when or where people first wore glasses. Europeans probably began wearing them in the 1200's. Marco Polo reported be saw people wearing glasses in China about 1275 and the demand for glasses increased after printed books became available. We do owe a lot to Ben Franklin's invention of the bifocals in 1784. But to this very day I don't think there is anyone that doesn't appreciate glasses. If they were never invented most of the people in this world would have to consider themselves blind. "I've worn gla es since the 7th grade," said sophomore Damon Rudd. "I can't see far without them." Junior Michael McCormack likes to goof around with his nonprescription glasses. Maybe he thinks they make him look intellectual?

Jenny Brendefur (a sophomore) is the youngest out of one brother, and four sisters. Jenny's parent spoil her all the time. She said, "Whenever I ask for money they always give it to me or sometimes they'll buy me things from the store that I want." There were times when Jenny wouldn't get what she wanted so she would pout. One time her parents wouldn't ghe her money, so she turned and walked away with her arm folded and her bottom lip down. There are times when Jenny gets very jealous of her four year old nephew, because he gets more attention or he gets more spoiled than she. Jenny's brother, and sisters would tease her about it, once in a great while. They would call her a spoiled little brat and that she would never survive becau e she wouldn't act independently. Other people disagree that the most spoiled child is the youngest. Another type of spoiled child is Calandra Renee Banis, a sophomore, who is the second to the last out of six kids. She said, "My dad spoils me the most. He gives me what ever I ask for and I don't have to do anything." Calandra doesn't get jealous when her parents or other people pay more attention to others. She said, "I get my way so I don't worry about it." But if she didn't get her way Calandra nags until she wins.

Without them it would be difficult to be honest and hate fun doing things with the other person. If you are willing to work at it for each other, then you bate the beginning of a long lasting relationship. What helps make a relationship work is the amount of time spent together and things shared. Time together is the biggest problem of all. In some relationships you can spend too much or too little time together.

Many girls feel that they are mature enough to handle the situation; but the con equences are often restrictive. Often left without moral support, young mothers are faced with big decisions and financial stress. "Teenagers should wait until they are able to handle it in an adult manner, mentally and fmancaiUy," said sophomore, Fonda Douglas. Much of the burden from a new family can become stressful; most are unprepared for an unplanned pregnancy. "Anyone who doesn't use protection should have to face the consequences," said junior Corey Brown. Says sophomore Grover Me Christian, "I think if you can't afford to take care of a baby, then she should have an abortion, but it's her choice."

There are a total of nine boys living in the Peaceful Valley Home. They have two directors who own the house and they discuss house rules once a week with the five regular staff members. There is basically one team leader who runs the house, a head of activities, a head of transportation, and two counselors with one being part time. The boys prepare their own meals. "I'm the best cook, of course!" Todd commented. They all eat together too, unless they have a job that interferes with meal times. An hour of quiet time is set aside in the day in which the boys are expected to complete their homework. Albert Hook On weekends the group often goes roller skating, to the Heidi Hornaman movies or the mall. Two of the boys have individual passes Cathy Huber which allow them to go out more often.

In some countries it is a time for el'ening entertainments and frequently jokes are played on unsuspecting persons. But in modern days, instead of playing little tricks, many kids go trick or treating door to door for candy dressed up as monsters, gosts, clowns,and other weird creatures. "I would say that Halloween is a night that you can actually dress up, and not hal'e people tell you how to act or tell you what to do. It is a time that you can show the weird side of your self,"stated Gwyn Seay,junior. During Holloween, many students go to parties or they go to many of the haunted houses around town, to see their friends get scared or to hal'e something to do in thier spare time."

For example it you eat at McDonalds you can order a Big Mac, Large Fries, and medium drink for almo t four dollar . To many parents it can mean a waste of money becau e all you get is greasy food. Today eating out has become a big thing. It's a time for students to talk with their friends to get away from the family meals, and enjoy other teenager company rather than their parents. Another reason students like to eat out is to spend their allowance, gas money and even their parents money. Back in the 1960's, one of the most popular restaurants for students to hang out at was ~he Kwik Inn. Today many students like to hang around McDonalds after football or basketball game or just for a place to go ee some of their friends.

In are school there are teenagers that have decided to grow up a little early and face the responsiblities of marriage. Marriage is a lifetime commitment which some people are not ready for until they have lived their life on their own for awhile. The poem, "What's right for You," explains the feelings of a poet about people getting married young: You're young in you're life your having fun, You spend time with your friends there's no work to be done. Then you're a teen, you own the world. You date lots of guys, to find "the one," but pretend you don't like him just for the fun. Homework seems to take too much care. Yet you do it so you can make it somewhere. Somewhere in life is important they say, So work real bard and get good grades. So you work real bard and achieve in school, and dreams start to form for what's right for you. But then one day be comes along, the guy who's strong and sweet and strong. You fall in love your bead filled with stars. Then Mike White you're saying vows at the alter. All your dreams are swept Amy Whitehead away, when you're watching kids and working all day.

Staying mostly along the Nile river, Mr. Lawrence and Ms. Sheram used boats, cabs and trains for transportation. They enjoyed the different cultures and types of foods. "Most of the dishes were a vegatarian style, because of the lack of meat in the country. Still it is very delicious!" described Mr. Lawerance. Most Egyptians love the Americans, because of former president Jimmy Carter. According to Mr. Lawrence, in some small shops patrons can see a picture of him on the walls. They think he is the best president that has yet to exist. They really don't care for most Europeans, especially the English. They feel this way because the English took away the beard of the Pix, a statue in Egypt, and refuse to return it. Now the statue is slowly starting to deteriorate. "If you had an English accent you didn't receive too much respect," said Mr. Lawrence. Mrs. Sheram also enjoyed the country. "I went to Egypt seeking more first hand knowledge about the country.

It showed the love and Frustration in their marriage as they kept the audience alive with laughter. What made the play more humorous was Corie's mother, Mrs. Ruth Banks, played by Stacy Myers got nervous and constantly had to takepills. The most excitement began when Corie set up a blind date with her mother andher next door neighbor Victor Velasco, played by Tom Hansen. These two characters are total opposites. The two other characters, the telephone repair man, played by Paul Bigley and the delievery man, played by Steve Bigley, added that certian spark to the play that helped it become such a success. "It was a lot of fun working with the play and the cast was a lot of fun. I hope I have a chance to work with them again," said Adrianna Coon "It's a bummer if you missed the play, it was great, and you won't have a chance to see it again,at least with these characters," said Samantha Mullenix, a sophomore. Mr. Loring, the play's director said, "It was a hilarious play and I enjoyed putting it together. The cast did a super job." atching his breath, after climbing six flights of stairs, Paul Bigley, the telephone repair man, thought there were "big problems" with the phone. But as it turned out all he had to do was plug the phone in the outlet, which, ditsy, Mrs. Bratter couldn't figure out.

The vocational trades departmenttries to give students hands-on experience in trades they'll use in the future. "The class is designed to get you ready for a job in the real world," said Mr. Kopaz. The carpentrey class gives the students the chance to build a house from the ground up. They do everythingfrom laying the foundation to painting the walls. The house that is constructed by the class is generally valued higher than the houses that surround it. "This is because we but the attention to detail in the house," said Steve Akers. The electrical deparment is also one of our highly accredited vocational classes. The students learn the basic principle of electricity, so they can wire an entire house.

No matter what condition the form of transportation is in, whether it is old and clanky to new and spanky, cars often seem to break down at the most trying moments. This is the reason why you should join the automotive instruction class. As Mike Burger says, "The class is loads of fun because it gives students a chance to learn how a car works, why it breaks down, and how to get it to run until you can get it to the nearest gas station!" He goes on to comment, "I like cars and the class gives me a chance to learn how I can make repairs on mine." COE, which stands for Cooperative Office Education, gives students interested in business to get the opportunity to receive experience on the job force. The students who participate in the program leave school early to work at the job they've been hired to do. Bettina Lyons, junior, says, "It gives us an opportunity to work in the business field. I think the program is great because working is part of everyday life and this program teaches us the basis of working." The students involved in COE not only gain experience now, but they receive knowledge for the future. The students can also receive credits for their work. One advantage to some students is that they get paid by the companies they work at for their services and skills. Not too bad for the future office owners who are still gaining their high school education! enior Mike Burger kid , "This is my favorite thing to do!

It teache students to think on your feet, speak, and be asserthe," according to Ms. Carlson the forensics team coaching assistant. Mr. Dionisio, the head of the program, is proud of the program and what it has to offer. There are many different events in which team members can participate: original oratory, extemporraneous speaking, dramatic interpretation, poetry, humorous interpretation, LincolnDouglas debate, and cross-examination debate. Students also participate in student congress at meets and some choose to do student congress aU day. Most students participate in their individual events half of the day and then congress the other half. Student congress is basically a type of debate that implements Parliamentary procedures in passing a bill or re olution. In addition to attending class, students are required to meet on a designated night after school according to their event, and students must particiapate in a mandatory of eight meets.Generally the meets last all day on Saturdays and the program has about three meets a month. "We have a few that will last two days and in that case we will be staying in a hotel at the city in which the meet is being held," Mr. Dionisio stated. Six o'clock a.m. isn't an unusual departure time from school on Saturday mornings and 7:00 p.m. is often an early arrival back at school. Gail Lucas, a sophomore L-D debator, commented, "I hate getting out of bed so early but I don't mind once I'm up. Competitions are fun. You get to meet a lot of new people from different areas of the state and you get to see a lot of different schools." ophomore, Dawn Farley, a member of Forensics, quotes, "It give you a chance to present your arti tic abilities and it betters yourself as a person. It's also a great place for meeting guys!" S incoln Dougla debators, sophomore Gail Lucas and junior Shelly Gardunos, help each other out in between debate rounds. Gail needed to learn to slow down when she argued in her rounds. Shelley felt that forensic was, "a brand new learning experience and it keeps you on your toes."

In both clas es the stre s of deadlines get to the tudents and teacher at times. "My student know I become a real witch around deadline time," said Ms. Borrelli, yearbook teacher. Eten though the classes are similar in that aspect that is where the deadline ends. The journalism class put out several is ue of the "Gladitorial" in one school year. Every deadline i a madbou e. The last minute pa te-up are being done and the keys on the typewriters are being hammered furiou ly. There bate been a lot of changes in the cia s this year, the most evident is a new teacher Mr. Devine. "He has had a positive effect on the class as a whole," aid Stephanie Hansen. Even though the yearbook class only puts out one book a year, they stiU have several deadlines. They bate to make layouts for every page and then brainstorm the tories. Then the stories have to be written and then made to fit the copy blocks. The pictures also have to be cropped, made to fit the size on the layout.

The cia s is taught by Mr. Dionisio during 4th hour. "KWHS teaches us how to use the equipment and also pro~ide reading about the business," commented senior Gudbjorn Baldursson. "KWHS does the morning announcement , lunch time shows, school dances and sometimes e~en junior high dances. The music we play is mostly soul and rock," commented senior Albert Jaramillo. Some students might think that KWHS i an easy 'A' class, but the students ha~e assingments, do shows during class, see how commercials are done and how they come out, and students are also graded on how they do o~er the air. "Each week student directors are assigned to pick what music is going to be played, tell the D.J. what to say on the air, and the director is a~ailable for the D.J. if there are any problems," said Gudbjorn. "I got in~ohed with KWHS because it ga~e me hands on experience, besides we are pretty lucky to ha~e this class because no other chools offers it," commented Albert. STUDENT CABINET, as most students know, is a class of students who enjoy being in~ol~ed with school, ha~e a say in the school, and are there for their fellow classmates. "I wanted to be more in~oled in school than I was. I wanted to be able to make a difference for Widefield and I felt the best way possible would be through student cabinet," commented enior Robert Hefner. Each day during 1st period, many of the student cabinet members could be found around the school hanging up posters telling students about the different sports and acti~ities going on. "Student Cabinet builds character, and the student get more invohed with the school acti~ities. It's a great way to make friends that you'll alway's remember," stated Robert.

This year's flag team was made up of 10 members who practiced everyday after school and performed at all borne games and one Denver game. "For me, being captain was a challenge," said captain Cat Issac. "It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I bad to make sure they knew bow to march, salute, and stand at attention." Said senior Amy Griswold, "It got rough sometimes. We especially complained a lot about the uniforms, but we grinned and beared it." Despite complaints and difference of opinions this team worked well together and quickly became friends. "I would encourage anyone to join Flags. It is a great experience. Performing at the games was a lot of fun. We were proud to be out there," said co-captain Ivette Falu. With new experiences, and fun performances Flags is a positive way to meet new people and express school spirit. Entertaining large crowds, while inspiring the football players with school spirit and enthusiasm, MARCHING BAND achieved respect when they took the field at half-time. Under the direction of a new teacher, Mr. Arrasmith, Marching Band was often called The Best in Years'. Performing spirit-lifting songs like "Pink Panther", "Peter Gunn", and "Tbe Final Countdown", Marching Band received cheers at every game. Said junior Rae Ann Breckenridge," I enjoyed Marching Band a lot this year. Mr. Arrasmith was a good teacher, he had a lot of patience with us. He had to!" Marching Band also traveled to out of town games and parades. "Marching Band this year was an interesting experience, I enjoyed it very much," said sophomore Tracy Stephens. Encouraging the crowd with their school spirit, Marching Band always stole the show. uring Flag practice, enior Jennifer Booth shows her skill, while anticipating her days with the U C Flag Corp.

In orchestra, the smaller of the two, "We play at concerts and go a lot of places. It's fun and the people are fun," says Christe Fincher, a junior. With so many other music choices, why have so many students chosen Orchestra and Wind Ensemble over all the others? Roberto Hoffman, a senior, joined Wind Ensemble because he plays the trombone, and likes to be in band. In defense of orchestra though, Katie Green feels, "The people have so much talent that when you put them together you have so many unique combinations." John Fomby, another orchestra member, in defense of his band and the sophomores, states, "Although the sophomore players are new, they have the talent to play high school music. Orchestra will be profitable to watch this year," he claims. Between the two bands, many interesting places are visited. "In Wind Ensemble, we're practicing to go to Adams State College on tour at the end of the year," Roberto Hoffman reported. "Orchestra goes to AllState contests and other schools," said Christe Fincher.

They participate in shows, contests, and many benefits within the community. Actually the music department is probably what gets recognized and yet many of the groups within aren't individually recognized by the greater populus of students. With a strong symphonic band and percussion ensemble these guys shouldn't be overlooked any longer. These two groups are conducted by Ms. Roxanne Bates the music director who has been involved with these groups for years. The symphonic band and the percussion ensemble participate in home concerts and do numerous tours to nearby elementary schools. The symphonic band is made up mainly of wind instruments which gives it such a nice array of sound. The percussion ensemble consists of instruments such as bells and tymphonys which gives this group a wonderful vibrant sound. If these two groups got together it would be one thing that you would not want to miss.

Under the direction of Miss Hamre, the long hours of practice pay off when this group takes the stage. "I really like to sing," says senior Jeff Unbehaun. "It gives me a way to express myself." The selection of music sung by men's choir is usually classical or older pieces," says junior Woody Garner, "I like men's choir because I like working with these guys. I also like that we get to sing classical or the older versions of music." Showing their school spirit, men's choir express themselves musically. WOMEN'S CHOIR AND WOMEN'S ENSEMBLE: Many of the students in women's ensemble and women's concert choir spend most of their time practicing to compete in solo and ensemble contests. The literature has mushroomed with in the last 20 years. There has been new genre released. Women's ensemble particapated in the Pops concert in November and the Christmas concert too and also sold a Christmas tape for the first year. It was sold for eight dollars.Miss. Hamre said, "Both groups are really goorl and plan to succeed in the future." ophomore Matt Schnell and Ryan icholas enjoyed inging ong such a "Winter Wonderland," " ow is carolling," and " till, Still, till."

For this talented group, the year is packed with All State tryouts, performances, contests, and plenty of practice. "Ms. Hamre has a lot of confidence in us but she loves perfection. We sing one song over and over, at least a million times, until it is just right," comments senior, Lori Shrewsberry. "I like performances best," adds Jennifer Adams, "because there's energy in the air. Everyone gets excited or nervous just before we sing but we always do a good job." "Our best performance was at a concert when we sang 'Plenty Good Room'. It's a rousing go pel with lot of solos. The other choirs really cheered us on," remembers Lori Shrewsberry. Whether it's the pounding notes, controlling tonality, blending or singing sectionals, Chambers knows that practice makes perfect and just about perfect, they are. What does a large group of talented singers and no instrumental background equal? Another hint ... do re mi fa so Ia ti do! Yes, Acappella choir. This excellent group warms up each day in class by participating the scales and solfage. From there, the group practices a variety of music which they will perform at their numerous concerts throughout the year under the direction of Ms. Hamre. According to Felicia Oakes, junior, her favorite part of the large choir is the concerts. She explains, "I love performing because it helps to make the long class periods of practicing seem worth while." Why do you want to be part of this choir? Well, Felicia's answer was, "I like the sound of the choir and I enjoy singing." unior Larry McDowell and Chris Reedy, senior, hit the notes while rehearsing for a concert where the Chamber choir would rock the audience with their rythmic beat and singing ecsta y. J J uniors Michele Nixon and Felicia Oake both enjoy the highlights of a day of singing in Acappella choir.

They also bale a can dril'e for the community. Food is not what the clubs are all about though.

Mr. Sennert made sure the students showed a strong interest, but to be an officer you bad to be in a German class.

The club consists of sixth and se~enth period, ad~anced drama class and theater production. In the beginning of the school year, ad~anced drama went to se~eral of the nearby elementary schools and told stories to the younger kids. E~en though most of the kids beard a lot of the stories already, they enjoyed them being acted out and told dramatically. The stories ranged from "Rapunzel" told by Junior Margie McKeal and Senior Amy Grizwald, to a revised ~ersion of "Abi Yo Yo" told by senior,Rod Knauss. "The Elephant that went Bananas" was the story told and written by Junior Mike McCormack. Last year 180- Clubs he was in beginning drama during the first semester and mo~ed up to advanced drama during the second semester of bis sophomore year. Mike said, "Since I told the stori last year I have learned a lot. You can not fail in front of Uttle kids. It's impossible! E~ery mistake you make just adds to the story, but sometimes we make mistakes just to make it funnier for tbe kids." Theater prduction worked bard on the sets for "Barefoot in the Park" and "Oklahoma." They are responsible for everything that goes on backstage, including Ughting and the sale of tickets. The drama teacher, Mr. Loring loves bis job but said, "I hope that drama i still around next year if Amendment 1, which includes school funding, passes. If this Amendment does pass, tbe drama program wiD be tbe first to go." John Garret added, "If this happens it wiD not give kids who want to acting experience the chance to do so."

FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is for students wanting to learn and study Christianity, and Clo e Encounters is a counselling group that spends time discussing student problems. FCA meets the first and third Monday of every month at Mrs. Bower's house, a teacher's aid at North Elementary. They spend their meetings talking about faith and knowledge of Jesus. They also sponsor the annual senior sunrise service every year. Mr. Henry, a math teacher, works with the group because, "I'm a Christian and I feel students should have a place to express their interests and share ideas. "This group helps people to pursue their faith and have fun doing it." Close Encounters is a personal growth 184 Club group to help students deal with problems through their daily life. They meet once a week for seven weeks in a different period each session, then that group will be terminated and a new group will start so every one on the waiting list can have a chance to be in the group. During the group they discuss all their problems such as: conflicts at home, graduation, peer pressure, learning how to say no to drugs, sex, alcohol, etc. The meetings vary to what students want to talk about. Ms. Gutierrez, a counselor that is one of the groups sponsors, said, "It's a wonderful support group to discuss problems and become close. It's only made up of about ten kids o you'll have time to become better acquainted." Those people who were in the group gain a better understanding of themselves, and if you didn't have a chance to be in either of these support groups this year and you're not graduating, they'll welcome you next year. �s Tim Wright and Jodi Glennon enjoy the sun, they engage in an inten e comer ation about the FCA meeting.

For the first time in human history a completely self-powered vehicle was available; swift, responsible, and under the control of the operator. Have you ever wondered why some people treat their cars almost like humans? For example this beautiful car: The 1972 Cadillac Convertable called the yellow rose. At the time of the 19th century, people probably did not realize how many drivers under the age of twenty five there would be and how many students would drive to school. Whether the car is a brand, new Celcia or Mike White's 82 Subaru Hatchback, each student is proud of his/her wheels and loves the prestige of driving to school. Each car has unique characteristics. When Mike White was asked for some characteristics of his Subaruhe listed, "strange, and uncomfortable." Let us all hope that Mike's car does not reflect his personality. Many students buy old cars and fix them up. One example is Stewart Suhr's Vega with the pink Copy: Debbie Boyle Photos: TID! Wrl&ht, Cbri te Fincher Artwork: Brandl ELU 194- Cars trim. Now that's original! The fact still remains that it's better to have wheels than not at aU. Even a junky car is sometimes better than the two wheel bike or the tired student. eauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although the majority of us can't afford a corvette, anybody would be happy if their car can get them from point A to point B. B �Tonya Nosack "I think the Ferrari Testerasa is the finest car.

J �ophomore Deanna Prather remarked, "I comb my hair up because it's the style. My friends determine the style. I think this will stay until December and then something new may come out. I used to have just little poofs of curl in the front." S ' 'I like my hair style because it is unique and I like to be an individual," explains Annamarie Ganter, a junior. She is one of the many that wear her hair high but yet it is different because it is naturally curly. bowing off their hair styles Tina Kieselstein, a senior, and Mary Blanton, a sophomore, explain that this is their fashion statement for the year. Today's style ranges from standing as high as it can go to the all natural look. S �Lefties Have Rights Too!

"Baseball glol'es, golf clubs, el'erything! They discriminate against us aU the time." El'erything from steak knhes to coffee cups; from sporting equipment to french fry scoopers are made exclusil'ely for righthanded people. Hey! Lefties hal'e rights too! Ahhh! There's the "R" word again. Righthanded people are el'en infiltrating our language. What's wrong with this picture? Lefties should stand up for their "R"words. Take Mr. Skadden for instance. He has a copy of the bill of lefts which states such things as, "If you want something done left, do it yourself!" Mr. Skadden is one of the few lefties who is actually proud of it. Another, is junior Sharon Bhagwandin. She says, "I'm tired of being discriminated against. We're just like any other minority group, we hal'e equal rights." Right? Who Copy: Todd King Photos: Tim Wright, Rich York, And Ms. B. 198- Lefties knows! Maybe in years to come, we'D hal'e lefties lib, but until then we'D hal'e to put with parents trying to force us to be right-handed, teachers slapping us across the knuckles with rulers, and coaches teaching us to shoot, wrestle, throw, or bat righthanded. lel'enth grader Sin Jae Pak informed us, "In Korea, they don't like people writing with their left hand. They say, Switch your hand!' I eat with my left, but I write with my right. It's weird! I do a lot of things with both hands." E �--_,::;o---=-=------ - -----=-----~--=- ' - - --~ , S ophomore Lance Cameron, fmishes his homework with, ready for this, his LEFT hand. Don't those left-handed people write funny? ' 'M ' 'I Y mother's left-handed," says junior Stacia Norton. "It's just the same as being right-handed. There's nothing unusual about her." think being left-handed is weird because not many people are like me," says Amy Whitehead. LEFTIES -199 �I don't want to be in the yearbook! Why doesn't anyone want to be in the yearbook? Well, probably because that certain person may be embarrassed, camera shy, or maybe they just don't want to be in it. You don't fmd too may people that object to being in it. When you do it keeps you wondering. Most of the time people jump at the chance at being interviewed or quoted on. Several students have made comments about the situation and here are their responses: Junior, Amy Niewald, "It's possible that they may not like the way they look in a picture or like the way they look period." Junior, Chris Gould, "They probably don't care about their school." One comment that was very original was made by senior, Brent Strong, "Who would want to be in the yearbook, there's no food or air. Someone may suffocate in there. The only good thing about it is that you may get stuck next to a girl." Being in the yearbook is something special. It's something you can show to your grandchildren when they want to have a good laugh.

W �Junior, Evelia Gonzalez "I have no reason. I just don't want to be in the yearbook." hen Ms. Borrelli came outside with a camera and asked if she could t ke a picture of the students below, they all ran nd hid their faces creaming,". ·o. Don't take a picture of me. I don't ·ant to b in the ye rbook!" W M r. Potman is one of the few teacher who doesn't like being in the yearbook. He claims it's because of personal and prof: ion I re o . Mr. Potman commented, "I don't want my tudent to cut my picture out and tart u ing it to throw darts at. I'~e al ays h ted eein mug hot of myself because they always turn out bad. Even at home I make sure that I take the pictures so I don't hate to be in them." Yearbook -201 �Taking a Stand In the early 1950's, the Iraqi government signed an agreement with foreign petrolewn companies, allowing them to produce oil in Iraq. The agreement gave the Iraqi government half the profits. This money helped the Iraqi government build hospitals, irrigation projects, roads, and schook After an this success in foreign trade and oil, why did the Iraqi's nation want to give it an up for war? Sophomore Mike Washington felt strongly about the issue and many other students abo felt strongly about it How could students take a stand and make sure that the their opinions on the Middle East crisis were heard? Mike felt that everyone should write letters and send petiti<m to the state representath'es. Would you want to be drafted and if you were what would your feelings be? Well, according to Mike Washington, he would not mind. In fact he would be happy to fight for his ~ try. On the flip side, sophomore Gail Lucas thought that the US should keep it's nose out of the affairs in that area of the world until it directly affected us. She said, "So far politiciam haven't given us any sound reason to Copy: Chris Jo Photos: Tim Wri&bt, Gazette Tele&rapb Art: Brandi Ellis 202- Forum go to war. AD I'le heard in newsclips . that the us has to respond to aggression. The~ pie in that area of the world have been fighting for 2,000 years. Why do we think that we're going to change that? What threat have they proven to except for that possible 6% of oil we may be deprived of. What's scary is that politiciam could jtm be playing games and trying to see how well an our wonderful new technology actually works." Postscript The US. started attacks on Iraq on Jamwy 16, 1991. �Kenny Merrill "We should send someone over there to kill Saddam Hussein and put an end to the whole thing." ' 'I think that we are there for the semi right reason. Bush has ome guts to go to war and that there is a lot of people over there that want to come home. I believe that they should only go over there for the six month tour and then come home," stated junior Jo h Lar on. 0 n J nuary 10, President Bush reported James Baker's communication with Aziz of Iraq. He said, "We've got to keep trying. But this was a total stiff-arm. This is a total rebuff." �Just Another N arne Imagine being related to a celebrity, a f~ bind to names that people bide, president, or a person that made a difference in many people will blush and history.

WeU, join the crowd because you're not alone. Many of us won't admit to having a desire to peform one of those inevitable habits, but we know who you are! You may be suprised, but the most common habit wasn't, "I pick my nose!" Some people like Kim Henderson, junior, have weird eating habits. Instead of eating everything on her plate aU together, she eats everything separately. Then she drinks after aU her food is gone. This isn't often common, but as Kim puts it, "It's a way of life for me. It started when I was six and I doubt it wiD stop.",.....__,_..."

Talent Show· 229 �A program wa created to help reduce the number of high school dropouts around the district. Alternative School was developed by the education board, teachers and parents with hopes to give a different outlook of school and a second chance at a high school diploma. The Alternative chool helps to reduce the pre sure on the students to drop out by de igning classes to help maintain their interests. The school run for eight e sion which lasts twenty days each. It starts at 11:30 A.M. and lets out at 4:30 P.M. A student may drop out at any time during a session, but in order to return they are placed on a waiting list until they are admitted back. Alternative students must have 30 credits to graduate. They do not have the same variety of classes as students attending regular school do. This is due to the less amount of clas e in the day overall. Steve Bronnenberg states that, "We need more elective classes in the program, but otherwise this is a wonderful program." The Alternative school starts late in the morning because so many of the students dislike the early morning hours, or they have their families to attend to in the mornings. "I would have liked to attend regular school but I needed the extra time to spend with my daughter and husband," claims Tanya Birt. The required clas es are the same as in the regular school but one difference is a ten minute break between each class. The students still have to work hard to maintain their grades. Hopefully this program helps many students who have had troubles in school to earn their diploma. I look forward to an exciting future that awaits them. - During a break in studies, Bill Mead concentrates on tightening his air filter. 230- Alternative �Larry Applegate Tanya Birt Dean Burn Lavone Carey Shannon Cardinal Tina Ferris Terry Gayle Hallie Gammil Reuben Jaramillo Jennifer Jone Kirk Lemay Steve Lemon Bill Lesmerises Gus ilson Paul Painter Veronica Pompa Wendy Schleiker Robert Singhisem Laurie Slusher Denise Strout ina Troska Patrick Warriax David Wipert Charles White Kenny Woodrum Between classes, Kirk LeMay enjoys a cigarette while socializing with Gus ilsoo. �Governor Romer Visits Widefield On March 14th Governor Roy Romer visited Widefield High School.
