Numerous items besides classroom needs could be found stashed away inside the various styles of backpacks: pictures of sweethearts laying side by side with grotesquely smashed lunches; semester-old gym clothes, stiff from grime and grit and spreading throughout the the inside; and tons of makeup, fumigating the insides like a Revlon factory .

But now I must move on, for life beckons me, To fulfill the obligations to myself and society. I leave not with a whimper, nor a tear in my eye; But with a feeling of achievement, and my head held high. I would like to thank all those who helped me reach my goals; For if it were not for them, I would till be falling in an endless hole. There Is more to high school than just leaving a mark, It has prepared me for a purpose, towards which I must now embark. I have but one wish before I eave: To be remembered no for what I was, but for what I can be. ����������������Seniors Used The Library The library was a popular place with most In addition to providing books, a vertical seniors.

The homecoming crowd saw the Glads defeat the previously unbeaten Cheyenne Moun· tain Indians, and virtually shut down the running power of the state's leading rusher . Lack of experience in the line and some of the skill positions hurt the Glads by the fact that three games were lost by less than a touchdown . The season ended on a positive note with a victory against the Pueblo South Colts. Many new talents were found and the expenences gained served as building blocks for the future.

On Kid's Day, the students dressed in costumes from babies in diavers to Raggedy Ann & Andy. The highlight of the week was the Homely Queens. The NHS clowns added fun with their funny faces and hilarious pranks. �Good Times During Homecoming Week Homecoming Week was busy as usual, due to many activities. The week started with movies on Monday night, and Tuesday was the Royalty Assembly. Wednesday everyone took a breather. But Thursday was the Powder Puff game.

Eyesores such as "loud" flowered shirts with plaid pants were the objects of many nightmares. "Kids Day" was a joyful return to childhood. Classrooms took on a slumber party appearance as students were clad in their most beloved pajamas-with feet, of course. "Gangster Day" was a day to guard one's life. Ominous people wearing pin-stripped suits and hats to conveniently hide their faces were lurking around every corner. To the school's relief, no robberies took place. Aclivltles/127 �FOWGASS Presented Amusing ''Patience'' Originating as part of a school climate project designed to help individuals in the community get to know one another, FOWGASS (Friends of Widefield Gilbert and Sullivan Society) brought "Patience" to the stage in 1983 The success of the previous year's "H.M.S. Pinafore" was repeated by the group of performers who represented all facets of the school district and community. Miss Roxanne Bates directed the orchestra comprised of some 30 student and faculty musicians from several schools in Widefield. Leading the group of performers was sophomore Michele Quigg as Patience, V1cky Roberts (South Elementary) as Lady Jane, Kathy Alderete (South Elem.) as Lady Angela, Vanda Skadden (WHS) as Lady Saphir and Gretchen Goldberg as Lady Ella. Rounding out the cast was Jim Downing as Bunthorne, Jay Cornils as Archibald Grosvenor, Jim Skadden as the Duke, Lee VanderHamm as the Colonel and Brian Whiteman as the MaJor. All are members of the WHS faculty except Whiteman, a recent graduate. 0 M1ke Kimmenau assisted with set des1gn . The "lovesick maidens" rehearse one of the1r songs 12.8/ Acllvilles �M1chele Quigg, the ophomore who played the lead m "Patience", has always planned to be on Broadway . She began singing in the third grade and since then has participated in many shows, play • and mus1· cals The most difficult thing for Michele m the play was believing in herself and knowmg that it would all come together. With her family's support and the unlimited attention of fellow cast members, both M1chel and "Pall nee" were a success The men of the 35th Dragoon Guards decide to become poets "Patience" A Comic Story Of The Fads Of Love Lady Saph1r requests a poem from Bunthorne. " Patience", or " Bunthorne's Bride" is a story of love written in the form of a comic opera. It pokes fun at the idea of the type of man who is "in" at certain times and " out" at others (similar to clothing styles). At the time " Patience" takes place, the military man is " out" and the poet is "in". A clever young man named Reginald Bunthorne foresaw the change, became a poet, and received the attention of all the ladies, except the lady whom he really loves. So now we have Bunthorne who loves Patience, Patience who loves Archibald Grosvenor but will marry Bunthorne because she feels Grosvenor is too perfect for her; Grosvenor who loves Patience and in turn is loved by 20 lovesick maidens, and a whole regiment of Dragoons frustrated by love. Activities/129 �Young Life Shows Togetherness Young Life teenagers met once a week to gain a closer perspective of the Christian faith and learn to interrelate it to their life. The club's main purpose was to get to know people and themselves better, and to have a good time.

It was completed with the Vocational I electronics class, a three-hour block consisting of lectures and lab activities. The vocational class had customers who brought in various items to be repaired. This gave members as opportunity to get practice and plenty of experience in the field of electronics. The class provided a useful, technical ex· perience for students who want to have a usable skill when they graduate. �Deca Students Learned Responsibilitv Front; Yolanda Gardner , Kim Smith, Darrelyn Adolphe, Ang1e Paladmo, Monica Gonzales , Tammy Towles, Shelly Joyce .

Instead of having the name Charlie the Gladiator, our emblems name was Wee Gee. Over the years our little friend hasn't changed what it stands for, but it's definately changed it's appearance. Now Wee Gee, alias Charlie, looks a whole lot tougher than he used to! Who's This Guy? None other than .. Mr. Robert Poole! Did you know . . . Here's young Mr. Lovitt of Lovat Realty . 194 /H.story Did you know that Widefield is the high school where Nick Lovitt graduated from? "Who is Nick Lovitt?" He's the president of Lovitt Realty. Dennis and Rollie Stenson, Dean Nakayama, Sandra Driscoll, Mickey Poage, Mark Rhodes, and Rocky Salt, are just a few more of the 'Names and Faces' that came from Wide· field high school. �Ducktails Or . . . Mowhawks? Saddle Shoes And TopSiders Poodle sk1rts, saddle shoes, and bobby socks, have been replaced with; top-siders, cowboy boots, and low-heeled pumps. Greased hair, ducktails, and ponytails, don't com· pete with the curly perms, multi-colored dyes, and es· pecially not the modern day mowhawks! Now days you may see just about anything on the streets. More About '58 A Meager Existence Widefield High School didn't appear on the map until Sep· tember 1958. The original home for the high school was what we know now as Widefield Elementary. The building was opened at a cost of $476,299. The plans of the school only consisted of rooms 101 through 110 downstairs and 200 through 219 upstairs. "Just because you're drawing big circles, doesn't mean you're big wheels!" Now that was an extremely popular saying during 1958. Walking through the halls of W.H.S. you may hear some grad of '83 say something like, "Get off me clown!", or "You get on my brain!", and lots of other things that most self-respecting sophomores wouldn't dare think of saying. "Journey", "Asia", "Air Supply", "Men At Work", and "Hall & Oates", are all great musical groups that we enjoy listening to. The Platters, The Crystals, The Comets, and Flash Cadillac, were all popular in the late fifties and the early sixties. But, did you know that part of Flash Cadillac and The Continentals actually graduated from good old Widefield High School! Many more special things have happened at Widefield, and it's too bad that we can't get all the events down on paper. We would like to congratulate Widefield on a successful twenty-five years. and we hope there will be many more!

Faculty/213 �25 Years Of Change Widefield High School's first quarter of a century has been marked by change. As the school expanded, new buildings were added, teachers came and went, and the graduating class increased in size as the community grew. The yearbook itself has changed over the years in both format and design. In honor of Widefield's twenty-fifth birth· day, the yearbook was prepared in a special silver anniversary style. To commemorate the occasion, the theme "Celebra· tion" was chosen, and silver ink was used in the introduction of the theme. This issue of the Forerunner emphasized this special event, yet it remained (as is the purpose of the yearbook) mostly a testimonial of the year gone by - a book for students to remember the 1982-1983 school year.
