We have symbolically depicted this constant pursuit by the use of a ladder. Each of us, in a sense, climbs a ladder of our own making toward the goals we value most highly in life. Some are never reached, but the urge tp attain them always persists.

Thomas Henry Huxley once said: "The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon but only to hold a man's foot long enough to put the other somewhat higher." It is with this thought that we, the Annual Staff, present to you, your 1961 SPARTACUS. Sincerely yours, Sharon Smith, Editor 2 �"The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thoughts .

With the aid of Mr. Austin and his band they presented an interestin~ highlight to the Homecoming game. THE WIDEFIElD-CHEYENNE game, a heartbreaking loss for Widefield, didn't hinder the rest of Homecoming's activities. THE NIGHT BEFORE the big game the annual bonfire blazed. Cheerleaders yelled and the spectators responded. The queen and her attendants were announced, and the evening was wrapped up with a winding snake dance led by Coach Lawson. THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR class tied for first place in the best float division, but the Juniors came out on top. A lot of work and high hopes for winning the final prize went into each float. �Daily Routine Of WHS Students I Broken By A. mblie NATIONAL ASSENIBLIES, LIKE the two illustrated here, were among the highlights of the 1960-61 school year. The jokes and antics of the Mississippians held the attention of everyone on October 19, 1960. They sang familiar spirituals such as "Joshua Fought The Battle of Jericho", and popular songs such as "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands ." On November 21, 1960, Mr. Edwin McLean, with the aid of junior MIKE GEORGE, fascinated evel')one by his demonstrations of the uses of the top and gyroscope. NOVEMBER 7, 1960 WAS A BIG day for WHS English classes. Some 250 students journeyed to Denver for a special showing of Ben-Hur. Subsequent trips to Brad} 's, Colorcldo State Penitential') at Canon City, and the Rocky Mountain Rehabilitation Center were made b' some Seniors in Life Problems classes. Business English, Office Practice and Secretarial Training classes visited Bell Telephone Company and the Farmers' Insurance Company. Drafting classes visited Micro Specialties. THE SNOW DIDN'T keep the fans away from the Manitou football game. They cheered the "gladiators" on to a 27-7 victory. �Ten nd E citing Mom nt During Ba k tball Game au e Breathle ntici pation WIDEFIElD'S SCHOOL SPIRIT soared to great heights during the 1960-61 school year. Here students encouraged gladiators in the tight Manitou basketball game on March 3, 1961. In the last few seconds of the heartbreaking game, a Manitou player sank a jump shot making the final score 42-41.

CARMEN GONZALEZ, HANS SCHUETZ, and HANS GOLLER are some of the other foreignborn tudei,ts. THE LANGUAGE LAB, new this year, proved to be a gre~t asset to the students.

This beautiful tree did much to add to the "Yule Tide" spirit of WHS. THE WHS BAND and Chorus presented the Christmas Assembly on December 23, 1960. The chorus sang numbers "0 Come All Ye Children", "0 Holy Night", and "Carol of the Russian Children. " The band played favorites, "S1lent Night", "Joy to the World", and "Jingle Bells" while the student body and faculty joined in singing. THE GIRLS' CLUB sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance on February 11, 1961. The color scheme was red, white, and pink, with hearts and cupids dominating the decorations. The refreshments consisted of punch and heart-shaped cookies. �cti iti ep enior~ Bu y During Th ir La t ar COACH LAWSON and Senior RON FOR'TIJNE jump for a lay-up during the Sr. vs. Faculty basket.., ball game, March 17, 1961.
