GHS Yearbook 1987

Construction was a very relevant aspect of our lives this year . Even though we knew it would improve our school, we couldn't resist complaining about it in the process. Who could forget those finer moments?- shaking rooms caused by the work of the bulldozers, the long trek to B-building, and halls that resembled a crowded New York Subway between classes.

Even though the construction was an interruption, our school spirit remained as strong as ever Enthusiastic participation in pep rallies was only one of the ways in which we were oblivious to the noise and confusion. The majority of the students were involved in a wide variety of activities, including toga days, spirit week, senior ditch day, and football games.

In spite of the construction, the school year provided as much excitement and challenge as the previous years. The year began with a bang when we were victorious in the Homecoming game, def eating the Wheat Ridge Farmers 11-9 And the excitement didn't stop there. Activities with friends, both in and out of school, were a great way to balance out the work and pressures of classes

Although many changes were taking place in our school, an underlying element of pride could be found throughout the student body. From Gene Child's campaign to "fight entropy," to the mutal love for the lounge, everyone took part in and enjoyed the activities. All in all, even though our school was changing, the pride we took in it remained as , strong as ever.

As the walls went up in preparation for adding ninth graders in two years, students began to see a new school from the outside . On the inside, however , the li fe of students remained basically the same The school year began with students relating their summer adventures to friends they had not seen over the long summer vacation Homecoming, Halloween, Valentine's Day and many other activi ties kept the excitment continuing throughout the year , Just spending time with friends , whether after school , at a party , or at a movie on dollar night were all enjoyable experiences In between classes students stopped to grab a snack at the school store and chat with some friends before heading to the next class All of these escapades helped make the students' lives at Golden High School more pleasant

Lazy, crazy days

hat did the discrim1nat1ng student at Golden High School do over the summer? Most did the average swimming, dating, watching bikinis, getting grounded, mall walking, or going to Lone Ranger, Montana to visit Aunt Bea and Cousin Opie. Others used their imagination during the lazy, crazy days of summerto plan for hot summer nights Comments from students ranged from going to parties to sleeping all day

When asked what he did over the summer, Mark Skomal replied, "Oh. wow, I spent an occasional night out onthe town, running fromthe police No, actually I watched three episodes of Scooby Doo"

Marty Skyrmanclaimed. "I picked my toes during church "

When asked the same question, Derek VanEstrum said, "Nothing, I didn't even focus my eyes!"

Tom Benjamin claimed that he had a life after death experience, whereas others said their summers were boring.

Quick to respond to this was the ever colorful Mike Boland, who queried, "Boring? I worked at the AlpineSlide, howcanthatbe boring?"

Whenaskedwhatshedidover the summer, Chris Lesser, an always cheerful person nonchalantly squeaked, "Shut up"

Fun week

he Homecoming spirit week was something to remember The school hod a variety of events happening each day .

On Tuesday , the student body showed a wide chain of different colored toga ' s - blue , green , pink , yellow , white , and some people put a little class into their toga ' s by wearing satin sheets and paisley ties , others hod Peter Pon and friends.

On Wednesday was Hoy Doy , or Dress-Like-Your-Favorite-Former Doy Thursday was Color Doy and the assembly . The assembly hod several different events that included teachers and students, to psyche the football players, the students and the teachers up for the game that evening at Brooks Field

Charlotte Quaratino commented , " The over all spirit week went great ; there was a lot of participation and the Senior class raged in the assembly ' '

Eric Mamon said , " The assembly was the greatest port of the whole week because it really psyched everyone up for the game that night against the Wheat Ridge Formers "

Renee Renegor added , "The assembly was a lot more fun then how my old school did it "

The Homecoming spirit was shown in a variety of ways . Even though some people didn't participate on the outside, they did on the inside.

fter a week filled with togas, grapes and spirit, September 18 finally arrived . The teachers, crazed by student fidgeting and clock-watching, were glad to see 2 20 come The Homecoming parade and game were held on Thursday for a change this year and , although students had only a few weeks to prepare, they rose to the occasion with floats ranging from simple to elaborate Most of them depicted Demons torturing helpless Farmers

Although the Demons didn't resort to torture during the game, they did emerge with their second Homecoming victory over Wheat Ridge in two years The final score of 11-9 was achieved by a last minute field goal by Eric Smith .

Down Sharp called the game "spectacular and unforgettable " Homecoming king and queen John Smith and Sandi Williams reigned over the dance the next night at the Colorado School of Mines Green Center

We have it all

o some , f ash1on is considered a way of being stylish , to others , like Jenifer Condreay , " If you wear it , it's fashion " At Golden , fa shion varied almost as much as each individual. People were much more than their out f its

The trends of teen-age fashion come and go, and then come again This is obvious as baggy pants and shor t styled hair , which once characterized the early 60' s and late 50 ' s, showed up once again in the attire at Golden

Whether called punk or new wave , one style was a combination of many different styles put together in a way that sometimes appeared intent ionally gaudy or unbecoming . This fashion was usually characterized by shaved-hair styles , flattops , mohawks , and simliar haircuts . The style was a sort of informal rejection of the rest of the groups o f fashions and ideas . Another type of fashion and social rebellion was seen in the "heavy metal" look, which was charac terized by blue jeans, flannels , and teeshirts Many who found this fashion appealing f ound it easier to rebel by spending no time on how they looked , rather than spending an abundance

Finally, there were the people who made up the majority at Golden, often called preppies or trendies As the well-dressed junior , David Leidner said, "Fashion is just the choice of material which you choose to cover yourself " Along the same lines, Rakesh Chopra commented, "Sure , everyone at Golden wears fashionable clothes; if you wear it, I'll call it fashion "

Yeah , that's him - Christine Goldbeck Cully Wohtola and Morty Skyrmon show off the styles of the average GHS student

Wow ! - This year at Golden High School saw some strange and exciting new hair styles and head ornaments Examples ore shown by 1 and 2 the versatile Chris Dragos 3 Tony Williams 4 Elizabeth Hauptman , 5 Doug Park and 6 Barb Ferrill

Horrors of horror - A variety of demons, monsters, wild animals, convic ts and other sorts gather in the cafeteria to plan a frightful Halloween

Tell me your secrets - Jim Hipp,nsteel threatens the life of a young hostage (all 1n a day s work for a "spy like me ")

Halloween Spooky

his year there was an abundance of everything but normal students on Halloween Monsters, peace marchers, demons Cabbage Patch dolls , walking & talking plants , cavemen , rock stars , pink elephants , Cleopatra , the Blues Brothers, playbunnies and the ever traditional nerds were only a few of the costumes worn to school.

The seniors planned a traditional day of a senior lounge on Halloween. The student council sponsored a new idea of renting videos and playing them in the lounge during the day The movies shown during Halloween week were Psycho , The Birds , The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Young Frankenstein , and Stop Making Sense

"It was great We should have it all the time ," remarked Carrie Culler who saw three out of the six movies shown

One of the most popular activities on Halloween was going to Crossroads Mall in Boulder; there were an estimated 20,000 people there. " It was packed like sardines, but still a lot o f fun, " was Stacey Kettering's impression

Another popular activity was going to KPKE's Dungeon of Terror at Lakeside Mall. There was an admission fee of $4 , or $3 with a coupon "It was fun We had someone follow us the whole way through , " said Jan Heffelfinger. The Dungeon of Terror raised over $78 ,000 for the March of Dimes

Fitness and recreation

Just For Fun

lmost everyone was involved in some kind of recreational sport not related to school. Whether it was skiing in the Colorado mountains, or bowling at Golden Bowl, it was not difficult to find a student participating

One ideal thing about recreational sports, is no competition Skiing was one of the most common winter sports . Anna Ricci said, "I compete in Softball and in Tennis, so when I go skiing, I'm just out for a good time ."

Even in the wintertime , it wasn't hard for students to get out and participate Whether it was running indoor at the local YMCA, or outdoors freezing , Debby Reid stated, "I love to get outside and run to clear my head , but when it's cold, forget it, I head for the YMCA!"

A lot of people found that on the off season they kept fit by going to aerobics Pippin Schupbach said, "I'm a diver for GHS, and when that 's not going on, I try to go to aerobics ."

But the exercising didn ' t stop there, students looked forward to summer sports when school was out

Breathe , breathe - While listening to the instructor, Pippin Schupback concentrates on getting all of her muscles to work in aerobic rhythm

Tunes for our times

The new and the old

his latest year in music marked the start of many new and up - and -c oming bands , such as Mr. Mister , Glass Tiger, and Bruce Hornsby and the Range . Hornsby was awarded the GRAMMY for Best New Artist Additionally , it was the year for many of the older bands to repeat success , such as Genesis , ZZ Top , and the Monkees . Paul Simon won the Best Album of 1987 GRAMMY for his Graceland album

The "charity " concert trend inspired by Live Aid continued into this year w ith Amnesty International, whose six city tour included Bryan Adams , U2 , Sting , Lou Reed , and Peter Gabriel. Farm Aid made a return in Farm Aid 11 , which wasn ' t quite as suc c essful as its predecessor

V ideo mus ic & MTV cont inued strong throughout ' 86 with a trend towards art-oriented v ideos Videos such as Peter Gabriel ' s " Sledgehammer," Art of Noise ' s " Paranomia ," and Genesis' " Land Of Confusion " helped MTV carry through all the boring performance v ideos en route to another successful year

Finally , this year ' s successes in movie - mus i c included the " Top Gun " soundtrack and the Talking Heads ' " True Stories ." Conversely , Prince produced a rather unsuccessful sequel to " Purple Rain ", called " Under a Cherry Moon ."

So take it from Maureen Mahoney, " Elvis is dead Dick Clark is too old So forget bands like Meatloaf and Bread which sound like a bad sack lunch ."

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees - W ith the successful return of their old TV show, three of the Monkees reunite to do a tour

' fan Hagar? - Even w ithout David Lee Roth, Von Holen l"'Ont1nues t o top the charts

More than transportation?

ou have your Caddies, your Mercedes Benz , your Buicks and your B M W .'s-cars that one would expect to find in a parki ng lot at the Broker . Then you ' ve got your Novas , your Matadors , your Chevelles and your bugs-cars you ' d expect to find in a high school parking lot

Students cars , the majority being hand-me-downs , were a hopefully reliable source o f transporation to and from school, work , dates and other activities

Some students were creative enough to find uses for their cars while they were parked Drive-ins and tailgate parties topped the moral list .

The question that comes to mind is whether or not a car is a privilege or a necessity to high school drivers?

Bill Szymanski f elt, " It's a privilege, because mine never runs ."

Donna Schilling had di ff eren t thoughts on the subject and said, " It ' s a necessity , because racing is my hobby."

In any case, the cars at GHS, with their dented hoods and torn sunroofs added a splash of color and a touch of character to t he school

Maximum capacity:

$4,995 , what a bargain - 1986 was the year o f the Hyundai, an inexpensive import for the student that wanted a little more than a used car

Coors - Golden High Partnership ~ Coors helps

his year was a planning year for the new "Coors-Golden High Partnership," a group of staff members , parents , students and Coors employees

The wellness committee , with help from a Coors psychologist , designed a survey for GHS staff and students to pinpoint the causes of stress this year and gather ideas for ways to alleviate it At press time , ideas being considered included setting up opportunities for recreation during lunch hours and providing a place for students to relax between classes .

The career education committee started a program where students could learn about job opportunities found in the Coors corporation , including such areas as drafting , graphic arts, advertising, management , industrial psychology , print and video journalism Coors even provided transportation for the field trips .

Mark Michaud, Coors marke t analyst , along with Steve Kultala from their television studio , helped the marketing committee develop a plan to publicize the outstanding qualities of GHS t hrough a video or pamphlet. This year was spent in market analysis, establishing a target market and the best strategies to reach that market.

Gene Youngmann , marketing committee chairperson, said , " Once we ' ve established the stra t egy , we can start production I don't expect a product until 1988 , but when it's done it will be very professional looking "

Variety of fun

t was unbelievable! " exclaimed Dawn Oswald . She was talk ing about the blackout basketball game , one of many events wh ic h occurred during The Week '8 7

The blackout was a great success for the boys ' basketball teams The varsity team slaughtered Pomona that night , 55-39 and the JV also won .

here does money come from?

Jobs pay off, in lots of grief

oney - it can be seen changing hands daily But where did this money come from?

Some of the money came to Goldenites through jobs Jobs required a lot of extra work for students , somet imes causing them to forget schoolwork and lose precious sleep

But most times jobs didn ' t pay off As Jeremie Odum said, "I work five days a week , and most weekends , and I'm still broke ."

Tony Kerstlens agreed with him as he said , " UUGGGHHHH! !! "

Where did students without jobs get their money? Parents were the greatest source of money for a student Kids were always '' borrowing '' the ever-necessary " five bucks for gas ," or " a couple of dollars for a movie ," even those with jobs.

Some students were looking ahead to careers in the work world , like Jens Carstensen , the author of a yet - to-be - published cartoon strip , 19th Street. " It ' s just a hobby right now , but some day I' ll be rich and famous ," he predicted

Wanna buy a Mousemoblle? - Profits sometimes come from the sole o f highdemand goods

How tempting - Tony Kerstiens looks longingly at all the money he'll never have

Where does the money come from? - 31

here does the money go?

I Gobbled money

tudents spent their money on all kinds of objects and recreations. Cars seemed to gobble most of their cash.

Cars had maintenance costs, as testified by Steve Gilman , "I spent money putting three clutches in my car, then the stupid thing blew up! "

Cars also had gasoline costs according to Andy Tuthill , "I use my money for my partymobile , which gets three miles per gallon , downhill , with a tailwind ."

Students' remaining money was consumed rapidly Jeremie Odum explained , "I use it for food and then I buy a few albums and then the remaining 75 cents goes into the bank ."

Shane Muilenburg explained that his money disappeared even easier, "I get my check, put in in the bank and the money vaporizes!"

Some students spent their money on other people "When my girlf riend and I walk through the mall she looks through the windows and sighs-that ' s where my money goes ," said Shawn Ulrich

The school absorbed other students' money "I' ve lost every textbook I've ever had. My fines are enough to support the entire Social Studies department, " said Teresa Lichte

Students always wanted more money . Tim Howsare explained his n eed, "I don't have any extra money. Donate some to the Tim Howsare Fund ."

Where does the money go? -

Getting ahead

Gifted, talented

ne of the biggest gifted and talented enrichment activities this year was the county-wide " Extra Extra " workshop held in October . Seminars ranged from Olympics of the Mind to Cleo Parker Robinson ' s dance experience , and an appearance by former governor Richard Lamm

I tered at the central administration building, through which teachers across the coun ty could share ideas and resources.

Jason Wong explained the benefits "Telecommunica t ions is the future," he predicted. "In 10 years anyone without some w orking knowledge of telecommunications will be lost, so this project puts us one step ahead "

All of the Sudent Council events received input from this busy trio and, in addition, they planned specific senior activities They were a lso responsible for details of the senior class g ift to the school

These officers were chosen for their le adership abilities, their popularity with other students and their willingness to work hard

Senior sponsors were Gale Hallberg andZelma McDonald

Inspiring moments

Every senior had a moment in high school that he or she will remember forever For some, it was a touching gesture from a friend For others, it was an experience in an extracurricular activity For a few it was even an insight ga i ned in a class.

Stacey Montoya felt that " Watching the football team win the Homecoming game two years in a row over Wheat Ridge " was her most inspiring moment

Dale Halbelson echoed that sentiment the day after the game , saying, " Last night was the best night of my life!"

Some were inspired by more off-the-wa ll things , like Brian Strong who said " shoving Marty Skyrman through an open window in German class " was his most memorable moment.

Margo Burgess counted the junio r raft trip as her most inspi rin g experience in high school but, fo r Eric Mamon , nothing could compare to his moment of triumph in "changing the Trident masthead .''

For Mark True , it was directing the Symphonic Band at Greeley and for Tammy Campbell it was " When I was going through a lot of problems and my counselors and teachers helped me when they could and in any way that they could ."

Tracy Reseigh was inspired by receiving All Conference as a sophomore in softb all and Debbie Ross added to the list, " When teachers go out of their way to help and encour age me to do my very best ."

Parties, cookies ...

What is the meaning of life to the members of the senior class of 1987? Although many found the question difficult to answer , several seniors had immediate --and profound-answers .

According to Mary Smith , the meaning of life was " parties that help you survive until graduation ."

For Sarah Shier , " Chocolate chip cookies and pizza " held the ultimate meaning

Kevin Kubasta sa id the meaning of life was " the understanding of the well-being of human nature ... and partying! "

Shawna Drobnlck thought the most important thing was " to sit up straight and go on ."

Finally , Cindy Haulman said the meaning of life would be clear when she could say " I' m through with school! "

Looking for cures

Being a senior brought p r es t ige and authority Unfortunately, it also brought a unique a ff liction called Seniori t is .

Se niors reac ted to Senioritis in a variety of w a ys Sarah Shier found herself having " a des ire to do a bsolu t ely nothing ." She added , " When you a re drowning in homework and d on ' t finish some or get an Fon a test you really don ' t care ."

Ron Didonato tried to " get as many hours of sleep as possible ," while Lori Mayes a cknowledged th a t " Seniori t is makes me lazy a nd anxious to get out of high school. "

Elena Reul had multiple symptom Senioritis She said , " It makes me feel relieved , yet sad th a t someday soon I' ll have to le a ve all of my good f riends a nd memories behind and start new ones ."

What's in a name?

Christine , Mike , Rob , Mark, Lara, Scott , Chris , Michelle , Karen, David , Tom and John were a few of the most common names of the seniors.

Most seniors related their name to something significant As Sandi WIiiiams stated , " It reminds me of a beach , because that ' s where I would like to be ."

Traci Jenkins explained , " On September 30 I was born and next to me was another baby girl named Traci Lee, and in later years we ended up to be next door neighbors ."

Maria McWllllams' middle name is Xochitl , an Aztec goddess of flowers . Her initials , MXM , are the Roman Numerals for 1990, the year she turns 21 .

Perhaps the most creative name is Rowdy HIidreth . " It's self-expl a natory ."

Seniors after dark

" The night was meant to be spent with your friends , partying , " was the wa y Chris Sancet• ta described senior activities after dark However, not everybody tnought that night time was made for partying. Bob Stratman explained , " I go to movies , games, sportish types of things ."

Molly McDonald got creative with her free time She said , " It's fun to go to public places (the supermarket is a good one) and ask fake questionnaires for false companies ."

" Banging my head on walls and tables while listening to Aztec folk music ," kept Tom Drouillard busy in the evenings .

Brian Strong admitted that when the sun went down he enjoyed " regressing to my primal barbaric existence and biting women on the leg ."

A llttle more sour cream please!? - One o f the biggest lounge potatoes, John Hildebrandt , ironically is usually study ing while in the favorite senior hangout

Senior lounge potatoes

There was a place in the school which , despite all the havoc caused by the construc t ion, was usually fun and sociable That ' s right. The lounge! Most seniors wouldn ' t admit to it, but we knew they were all " lounge potatoes" at heart

But, that 's what the lounge is for , ri g ht ? Jodie WIison said , "It's a place t o veg after a test ."

Many o the rs, like Kurt Billman and Ron Didonato said it's a place to socialize and " be a rowdy senior."

Karen Conner re counted a specific memory , " When Joe Caln and Norm Hicks helped me do a nose dive in the lounge Thanks , guys! Love that carpet!

Many other memories were made in this special place , such as the toys th e Dr eds used to play with and all the signs

Fears of the future

Seniors have been in school for most of their remembered li fe. After 13 years of knowing exactly wha t was going to happen , it can be both exciting and scary to suddenly have an uncertain future

Brian Strong expressed his concern by asking, " What will it be like sliding down the razor blade of life? "

Jennifer Mclellan relinquished her feelings, admitting , "I am scared to move out on my own , yet that is all I want to do I' m not sure of my ability to suNive."

" My fear ," stated Angel Deserlno , "is going out there in the real world and taking on responsibility "

WIiiett WIiiis IV expressed the same thought a bit more strongly, " This year we are to be thrown out into the real world! "

Mysterious but vital

Seniors were asked , " What is love? " Go ahead , laugh Some seniors did

Others had a ready answer Shell Blalkowskl explained , " Love is two people accepting one another for what they are and growing together, always being there t o care ."

Ryder Hartley thought love was , " willingness to give up everything " and Frank Zurey said , " Love is a slow dance ."

Most seemed lost on the subject Common responses were , " Good question! " or " You got me , Babe! " One senior girl was more explicit, saying , " I' m not sure yet; every time I think I' m in love the lousy guy dumps me! "

Answers varied , but to sum it up , Margo Burgess said , " Love is what you make 't II I , , ,

You live here?

As seniors leave Golden High School, many of them will also be leaving the rooms at home which often reflected their personalities

Tino Guerrero's room , was described as " Heavy! '' and " Intense! " Rosemerry Wahtola's room , on the other hand , was praised because "I t's so simple."

Marnie Rogers claims, "Elizabeth Hauptman's room is by far the best It's decorated with a sea of clothes. You h a ve to wade through it all to get anywhere It's classic .''

Derek VanWestrum's room was described as " a step outta reality It's flashy , yet very clean."

College-bound seniors, soon sh a ring tiny dorm rooms , may look back on their o ld rooms and find them full o f very fond memories

Telephone tidbits

Seniors conversing on the telephone pro• vided the telephone company with a major part of its business

Some used the phone for practical jokes Marc Fisette remembered , "Tino, John and I called some of our friends and I said I was from KBPI and we offered them money if they could name a song ."

It was not uncommon for seniors to have their own private lines Others simply had ext ensions and when the phone rang people answered it all over the house ; it took five minutes to figure out who the call was for .

Not all seniors used the phone so avidly , howeve r Norm Hicks expressed his reasoning , " Talking on t he phone at my house is a specta tor sport; we have only one phone and it' s in the living room ."

Mental memories

" Can ' t wait until graduation !" That seemed to be the most used statement for the seniors , but as much as they wanted to graduate , there were a few classes that they would miss

One of the most liked senior classes was psychology As Scott Donn explained , " Massa O ' s class - It ' s entertaining " Other favorite senior classes were foreign languages , Honor's English , AP World History , gym and art Marc Fisette said his favorite class was gymnastics because , " You can be as hyper as you want to in there ."

Kira Davis voted for drawing class because , " I really like to draw and it ' s fun . There ' s also tunes to listen to ."

" My favorite class is Singers ," stated Cyndi Bordoy , because I love the Bahamas ."

What is reality?

Reality? What a quest i on Reality is sometimes a concept difficult to put into words The dictionary defines it as " The totality of all things possessing actuality , existence or essence ." However, seniors had more specific definitions

To Denell Neusse , reality meant " life after school. "

Scott Ralle put it so eloquently in saying , " Reality is just another episode of ' The Twilight Zone. "'

Scott Avant's response might fit that definition He defined reality as " calling home on the night of graduation from jail and having your dad answer ' Who? '"

On a more serious note , Gary Deutsch commented , " Reality is the knowledge tha t you mean something in society ."

Walls and stress rise

Fences , mountains of dirt , an earth compactor that vibrated the buildings These were some o f the dramatic reminders that the school which the Class of ' 87 would be leaving was not the one thay had entered three years ago

Although seniors all agreed that the majority of the construction should have been done over the summer , Chuck Payne found one advantage of the confusion " It's great,'' he stated . " The teacher can ' t teach with all the noise but students can talk ."

Opinions differed about the changes that were taking place " I think it is about time that they tried to improve this school, " commented Cindy Haulman. " It's just too bad they had to wait until now to do it ."

Other seniors were upset with the fact that the look of Golden changed completely Marci Hawkinson felt, " It' s a drag Golden was a rad school ; there wasn ' t a school like it Now Golden ' s going to look like every other school. "

Kira Davis had mixed emotions " I think it will be neat when it's done ," she said , " but it ' s kinda sad that the old campus and buildings won ' t be there anymore ."

Kim Patrick expressed similar sen t iments . " It's a pain going from class to class because the halls are so c rowded ," she commented . " But I hope and feel it will be a neat change for incoming students I will return to see it completed! "

Sherri Deshazo raised the question , " How will they number the rooms when the buildings aren 't separate anymore? "

Prom is priority

This year ' s junior class officers were Dan French , president; Alicia Smith , vice president ; and Arnold Hoy , secretary .

Dan French explained , " This year has been an experience I learned a great deal about how Council is run and its ups and downs . I hope my new experience wasn ' t at the expense of the class of ' 88 ; we worked for the best Prom ever Thanks to the officers and reps! "

While most students worried about getting a date for Prom a month before it happened , the junior class officers had to worry about Prom all year long One of the biggest problems they faced was raising enough money to put it on. Some of this year ' s fund raisers were an Elf sale (Elf lease , really) the week before Christmas, candy cane sales , a volleyball tournament and coupons from businesses in the Prom invitations.

Then came the time to organize the big event , with decisions like holding elections for king and queen , choosing a theme and a band , and designing invitations and tickets

'' They did a good job of planning and then fallowing through ,'' said Student Council co-sponsor John Vidal.

Tunes for all tastes

Mu sic ha s become more diversified than in previous generations The styles of music popula r with students ranged from the Sulcldal Tendencies to Llonel Richie

Jon Brown liked UB40 " because de sounds come strai t from de Islands , Mon! " while Tim Bratcher preferred ZZ Top " bec a use the y ' re sha rp dressed men .''

U2 was Roni Vogeler's favorite group because " They aren ' t on the top forty .'' Even mo re obscure was Shawn Ullrlch's favorite , the German group Vienna .

Trio was Sean Condron's choice " because th ey ' re unique ." Simi lar ly, Amy WIiiiams named Stevie Nicks "Beca use the ly rics are meaningful "

Junior year hardest

Juniors have the reput a tion of being the most responsible class The sophomores are confused , as we all know , and the seniors , of course , have Senioritis Gene Youngmann , art teacher , said that, " During their junior year, most art students become very devoted to the production of their art work The students who choose art as a career historically have found their greatest success during their junior year. "

Other classes and clubs like Tech Arts and Forensics also traditionally have many juniors winning awards or serving as officers

It has also been found that most collegebound students ' hardest year academically was their junior year They either had to take Physics and Algebra II together or Physics and Trigonometry . " The teachers expect more from us than they did when we were sophomores ," commented Todd Bradsby " And when we are seniors we won 't have to take as many required classes ," added Andy Bird

Names to wear

It is said , " everybody waots to be a comedian " but, when shopping around in a clothes store seeing all the different labels, it looked more like , " everybody wants to be a fashion designer ." There were so many names , how could anyone remember them?

Most labels, if mentioned , wouldn ' t be recognized , but some names become as well known as Ronald Reagan . So me juniors would give their lives to wear the se names ; some wouldn ' t be caugh t dead in them

Asked t o list popular brands , Renee , Johnson re sponded , " Calvln Kleln, Ralph Lauren, Guess, and , even though I don ' t like it, Forenza ."

However, a quick tour of the school confirmed the suspicion that " Levi 's" is definitely the most-worn brand ; so much for h igh fashion

Well worth the wait

Li -c ense : an offici a l document giving permission t o engage in a specific activity What is it about the word license that is so important to a 16 year old? For most , it meant not having to " bum " rides , take the bus or use their feet to get around

For many juniors this was the first year they could drive to school and it was a whole new exper ience-jammed parking lo t s, speed bumps and avoiding maniac drivers , not to mention offic ers of the law According to statistics, 70% of new drivers get a ticket in their first six months Nevertheless , most j uniors found the opportunity to drive , at last, to be a major highlight of the year

Craig Summers said , " Man , it ' s great ; I can go anywhere anytime w ithout having to depend on other people ''

Stacie Gilman agreed , adding , " It 's a lot easier , and a lot more convenient. You can visit a friend , or just party without any hassels ."

Noelle White said , "D riving is great but a lot of responsibility! "

Owning a c ar usually meant being constantly broke because of payments , insurance, repairs and gas

Juniors generally agreed that getting their drivers' licenses was , well, worth the wait!

Future plans begin now

" What are your plans for the f uture?" That was probably the most asked question a junior encountered . Parents began to put pressures on their children to think seriously about "life after high school. " Whether college or a f ull time job was in the future plans for these juniors, preparation began this year.

On Saturday , October 18, nearly 150 students arrived in the cafeteria at 8 :00 A .M . t o take the year's first PSA T test, This and the ACT and SAT tests were taken throughout the year because they are required by most colleges

Kristan Tucker explained that "the PSA T test helped me find out w hat the tests are like and t he subjects that I needed to improve "

Besides taking tests, the really eager students began to visi t colleges, or at least visit the college representatives w h en they came to t he counseling center . Some days a s many as f our colleges were represented, usually from states too far a w ay to visit

Andrea True summarized, " M y junior year has been m y ha rdest because I have had many pressures o f getting ready f or college "

Once they got exci t ed abou t college, some wished it weren' t so f ar o ff

Wish you were here

Robert Roze and Ben Rumpt, were both lucky enough to be accepted into exchange programs this year The yearbook staff conta cted them while they were overseas for the inside story .

Robert went to Oviedo , Spain , located in Northern Spain He summed up the experience , say ing , " It was j ust a total party ." He mentioned that the only bad part was that it was cold and rainy , bu t at least they had sk iing and snowboarding for entertainment . Also , he sa id , " The girls liked me because I' m Amer ic an and they wanted to hear about Amer ica ."

Ben Rumph , who won a full paid scholarship for his exchange trip, went to Goch , West Germany The way he put his reason for signing up was, " Personally, I belive that submerging oneself in another culture is good for the cosmic alignment ." He discovered some facts about the Germans " Yes , t hey dr i nk beer ," he revealed " Yes , t hey play a lot of so c cer ," he added " But, no ," he insisted , " they don ' t wear lea ther shorts ."

Shorts for sale

President Eric Zlporln , vice-presiden t Stephanie Sutera , and sec re ta ry-treasure r

Rob Frost- yes , you knew the m , you loved them , they were the sophomore cl a ss officers

These were the people who made sure that the bottom rung o f the high school ladde r was well-represented and accounted for . The sophomore class officers were busy coordinating fund-raisers and contributing as much as they could to GHS

One of their most successful fund raisers was the sale of white boxer shorts with maroon demons all over them " Don 't be caught out in the cold without your shorts ," was the promotional slogan

Steph said that she enJoyed her position and it made her feel kind of popular. Being a good class officer takes a lot more than just p opul ar ity , however , as Rob Frost would be qui ck to tell you . According to Rob , it takes a shrewd, political mind to m ake a good o ffi cer

Eric Zlporln said , " The presidency is a ch a llen ging , but rewarding , position to occupy I fee l that Student Council does a lo t of meaningful work and my office makes me feel responsible fo r a little bit of the good we get done ."

Leave off label

" Nerds " was a term used for the people behind the brains Other labels included "G eek ," " Dweeb ," and " Bra in ." These t itles were used with a touch of envy during semester finals week

Jennifer Humphrey explained that , " a nerd is an overdeveloped mind combined w ith an underdeveloped personality ."

Brian Cooper may hove been more correct in saying that nerds are wonderful people "O nce you get to know them ," he contended , " their personalities ore interesting. People shouldn ' t discriminate aga inst them because they ore actually very nice ."

Cully Wahtota said , admittedly tongue-incheek, "I really get upset when people make fun of us nerds and I think that these hostile act io ns against us as a group signifies the down fall of Western civilization as we know it . Plus , it may cause severe Sino-Soviet reproachments in the form of increasing tendencies toward global thermo-nuclear war .''

Besides , ten years from now , when your favorite " nerd " is making $100 ,0 00 a year as a bank executive , you might want to float a loan , and smart people have long memories! So, it might be smart not to call smart people names

Hi story repeats

All sophomores dreaded one thing about high school-initiation!! This phenomenon could be easily sighted by rug -burned noses from penny pushing and arms and legs void of hair , removed by the ever-popular duct tape.

Most sophomores polled were not initiated th is year, but as Robert Redford said, " I definitely plan to in itiate sophs when I' m a senior This is a society that thrives on violence, and besides , it's a tradition ."

Wayne Cass also said, " It's the way it should be you have got to show the youngens who 's boss!"

Although many sophomores said this , by the time they are seniors, hopefully they will have matured enough to realize how " sophomoric " it really is and follow the school policy prohibiting sophomore initiation Mellsa Esparza agreed , "I t is stupid and has no meaning because everyone already belongs here ."

" They will be neNous enough as it is," Jenny Brown pointed out

Holly Mamon summarized the most common sentimen t, saying that she wasn ' t initiated but would have hated it and adding , "I am not going to do it to anyone else (maybe)."

Beginning again

What was it like for sophomores here at GHS? Some felt inferior , or like they were in 7th grade again , the feeling of being at the bottom and having to work their way up to the top once more A few seniors felt the necessity to make sophomores feel small with cut-downs and even some actions like stuffing them in trash cans and taping them to poles .

Cheryl Talbot stated , " A few seniors take the teasing a little too far at times and sometimes it scares the sophomores more than they already are , because some sophomores are still scared about being in high school. "

However, most times it was done in fun and the sophomores didn ' t really mind And , in general , sophomores were welcomed and treated just like upperclassmen

Mellssa Friedrich explained that " Some of the sophomores th ink of high school as being a total party , and they should take high school a little more seriously because these last few years in school are very important ."

Most sophomores were a lot more mature this year than they had been in junior high because they were older and a lot closer to the real world

Pre-automobile blues

In a fast moving society like ours, one must have mobility to stay in touch Sophomores. in most cases, had the greatest difficulty in finding adequate transportation

Todd Macalady said, " Being without an auto is like being without a part of your body ."

Although some found interesting alternatives to owning cars, " these two things at the ends o f my legs with five toes on each " was how Scott Byars said he got around Rob Frost said, "I usually just beg for a ride from a friend , i t can be expens iv e depending on how close the friend is ."

Forecast for freshmen

When sophomores expressed their opinions about the freshmen due to arrive in 1988 , the words were not all encouraging Some sophs responded with unpleasant predictions as to the fate of the new students, while others thought it would be fun to have three classes below them Positive comments about possible benefits that the freshmen might bring to this school included better sports and extracurricular programs In addition , academic budgets will increase, allowing more electives to be offered, like photography

Rob Fulcomer looks forward to '' more people to welcome-all in good spirit, mind you."

Mellssa Martinez laughed , " I just hope they ' re not taller than me! "

What was that again? - Lee Wake displays a look of confusion

Hey, Buddy,got a map?

By definition , a sophomo re is a learned fool. In a three-year high school, the newcomer was often a little confused , especially the first week

For an explicit example , we turn to a fictit ious conversation between Sally and Susie Sophomore :

Sally" Oh , you w ould never believe what happened t o day! I was supposed to be in D-3 But I went into E-3 It took me five minutes before I rea lize d that I wasn ' t in Spanish ."

Susie" Ha , thars terrible But I guess ifs not a s bad as when I went to Mr. Petrock's fourth h our c la ss in th ird hour "

Sally" Well. I was 10 minutes late to Mr. Dockerty's class because I forgot my combi nation and had to get someone to open my locker ."

Susie" I neve r did find Mr. Hergenrlt's cl a ss in T-1 yes terda y . The closest I came was VT-6 ."

Sally" That happened to me w ith Mr. Farr's class . When I finally d id f ind it, it was in the lib rary! "

The se are common Sophomo risms , the things that make them fee l stup id , but allow everyone el se to have a good laugh They are part o f an ag in g and humbling exper ience that' s necessary .

Coping strategies

The cons truction was as disturbing to teachers as 1t was to students. Trying to teach in a construction zone , with heavy equipment noise and vibrating walls , was a new experince for them

What did they do to cope? Some tried to ignore 1t Bob Hayes commented, " What stress? You call two tractors , two front-end loaders, dirt compactors, cement trucks and three tons of mud , stress?! I bought chains for my shoes when the chain law was 1n effect on the B Building hill. "

Keeping a sense of humor was a life-saver for most staff members The E-Building women's restroom was wallpapered with cartoons Joan Jouett adorned the faculty lounge bulletin board with ever-changing humerous comments and Dave Farrar took time to add tidbits from the lighter side to the liaison committee minutes

Truda Moreau showed her optimism by po1nt1ng out, " The walk from B Building to T-5 along the track really is beautiful in nice weather"

Barbara Harris and Sandy Nations named staff parties and aerobics classes as events which helped relieve stress

ILowell Sharp perhaps spoke for many staff members when he admitted , "I cope with stress primarily by being 'g ritchy '."

Revenge zone

Teacher-student relations , a concept beyond sight , sound , space and time Well , maybe not time , because of graduation .

Kirsten Bird dreamed of " filling a teacher' s car with water balloons and watching in anticipation of him opening the door and being splattered on ." Like Kirsten , most students only dreamed of revenge and never executed it .

Lefs now cross over the edge into the fifth dimension , into the unreal world of a teacher's revenge Yes , not only do students feel the desire but teachers also have the same need for revenge . Caroline Mallory's plans included " sticking transparent gum on every chair in her room or perhaps giving everybody in the room a squirt gun with on ly half of them loaded. " Her best idea was playing opera over the in ter com with subliminal messages to make students behave But her only plan that she actually executed was forcing the choir students to wear dingy orange dresses and polyester brown tuxedos w it h suede bow ties that she could pull back about ten feet and snap to get their attention

Where was Rod Serllng when he was really needed? Thank goodness for reality, right Conce rt C h oir?!

Teacher trivia

Some faculty members have pretty exci t ing lives outside of Golden High . Following are some of the little-known facts about staff members

Roy Daugherty was editor of the Golden Transcript in 1964 when it was a weekly paper Bob Wllllams volunteers at Child ren 's Hospital summers, working with children who have sensory integra t ion dysfunctions

John Brainerd is a qualified airplane pilot, while Bob Kinsey is an ordained minister Elalne Fitzgerald (alias Red Hot) moonlights as a professional clown

Dave Farrar had a part in the CBS movie The Legend of Claud Dallis filmed in Colorado Springs last summer . While many teachers ski as a hobby, Truda Moreau also works as a ski ins tru ctor

Dan Patterson was once star halfback for the Durango High School football team , with George Colbert as his coach Also in the field of sports, Sandy Nations was a Pepperette for the CSU Rams

If you attend dog shows, you may see Gall O'Nell a ccepting a ribb on for the prize winning Belgian Sheepdog she tra ined Who would suspect this poised business teacher is the same person who once drove a rented motorcycle through a plate glass window in Austria?

Reasons for teaching I

Every student has his favorite teacher

Tea chers also had fa vorite teachers when they were in high school. The percentage o f GHS fa culty whose fa vorite teachers taught the classes that they now teachsurvey said 80%

Bob Hayes notice d that h is teachers seemed to enjoy what they were doing and he said , " I was enjoying h igh school so much that I figured tea ching would be an opportunity to sta y in high school."

Gall O'Nell's best-liked tea cher was her speech teacher because , " He told hilarous st ories, which enabled me to enjoy a class I was scared to death in."

"I appreciated what my Engl ish and art teachers did for me and wanted to sort of pass it along ," commented Sam Petroff . Mark Dunn remembers his science teacher because , "H e encouraged me to think in divergent terms , something most teachers and o ther s discouraged ." He added , "I enjoy t eaching because it ' s never boring and it's a good position fr om which to study pe op le ."

Lowell Sharp had no favorite teacher He felt that teachers were j ust " keeping me 1 bu sy ." He decided t o teach because he th ought he could do better Additionally, he joked, " The high pay of S400 a month in 1963 was subversive ly sedu c t ive ."

Behind the scenes

Imagine coming to school and trying to trudge up to your locker in E-building and instead of finding clean sidewalks you find three feet of snow because nobody has shoveled it, and then when you finally get into the building you can't find your locker because of the trash blocking your path Then you go down to A-building and hear the persistent ringing of telephones coming from all directions. There is no one to open the school store when you need your morning " nutri tion ," and no lunch appears from behind those magic doors

The school has a staff of custodians, cooks , secretaries, teachers ' aides , and of course the \\c ampus cop." These people performed many jobs t hat the st udents didn ' t even realize needed to be done; many times t hey didn ' t get the recognition that they deserved.

The custodians kept the school clean; Meanwhile , The secretaries kept adminis trators "i n line " when t he going got t ough The campus supervisor was the guy that almost always greeted you when you drove into the pa rking lot Rain , shine , sleet o r snow , he was always there in his leather jacket checking for parking stickers , wri t ing on people ' s windows , and generally "lo afing around ."

Motivation , talent , work and knowledge make a good athlete , but long , hard hours make a good team . GHS had great athlet ic teams th is year . The volleyball team earned a chance to play in the state tournament Golden ' s football team won the Homecom ing game over Wheat Ridge , then went on to finish the season with 5 w ins and 4 losses and a spot in the playoffs The softball team had a terrific season , going undefeated in the ir league In add ition , Golden had athletes qualify for state competition in girls ' swimming , boys ' golf and gymnastics And all of that was just during foll season !

One of the changes in sports this year was the opportun ity for ninth graders to jo in the high school teams . Greg Moore was a varsity soccer player as a ninth grader, and freshman , Marcy Etzenhouser , was a state contender in gymnastics Other valued ninth graders were runner Scott Hucheson , swimmer Doug Gayer and diver Ryan McGrath .

A winning season

winning season! For the first time in years the Varsity football team ended this season with a winning record . Also for the first time since 1979 the team made it to the League playoffs

After this year 's winning season Coach Lars Johnson thought that " We 've finally licked the tradition for good ." Kevin Hayslett fe lt, " This season was awesome and I hope we continue to play as well next year "

It had to be the b iggest turn around in volleyba ll history , as the team came from last pla c e to be a state qual ifier

Probably the two most exc iting games of the season were the Wheat Ridge game which advan c ed the team to Distric t s and the Westm inster match , which sent them on to state .

Another highlight was the Homecoming g a me aga inst Lakewood , the turn ing point o f the season . " After that , we started beating the teams that we knew we should beat ," said Martha Rodgers

Promising future

his year ' s soccer team worked long strenuous hours trying to accomplish the ultimate goal-to have a team that worked as a whole and also one that showed good sportsmanship whether they won or lost .

Some players worked extra hard to accomplish honors above and beyond Mike Vaughan received the most valuable player , Kieth Martynuska got the most improved player , and Bret Ensminger, who quickly recovered from orthoscopic knee surgery, went to All Conterence .

Although the team did not have a winning season, with returning players combined with new talents they did accomplish the goal that was not determined by a scoreboard

As Dan Levy put it , " Next year we just have to fine tune."

or the first time this year , a class called P E Plus was offered to special education students Senior athletes were incorporated into the class as assistant instructors

The relationships which developed between the seniors and the special educat ion students was somewhat like teacher to student , but more like fr iend to friend

It provided an opportunity for these students , who may have feared or disliked gym class in the past , to learn to enjoy P E through working with senior

'' fitness fanatics. '' They also carried th µ concept into recreational areas with field trips like a ski excursion in January

Seniors not only helped these kids to improve themselves physically , but were also there to help them with their problems or just to listen

Trina Miller explained, " It ' s a lot of fun getting to know these kids and working with them , but it ' s also a lot of hard work! "

Jo Cass said , " It ' s a great experience . I wish everyone could do it at , least once ." '

Both seniors and speci al ed students • benefited from the program.

Not only were all the gym teachers o v erwh elmed with kids trying to get into a class, but the weightlift ing room was literally packed with students working out before and after school.

Kris Fagan thought her gym class was important because , " it keeps me in shape and feeling good during the off season, so I get a good start when soccer season comes around .,,

Barb Toth liked working out because , " it 's just a lot of fun and you can do it anytime! ''

The German Club was into parades They entered a f loat in both the Golden Oktober f est parade , and our own Homecoming parade The latter float won the award of "mos t c reative float ."

Language a must

most students found learning a foreign language a valuable experience They not only learned the language but lived it. Both German and Spanish students could be found speaking to each other in their newly le a rned t ongues

A major factor in an enlarged enrollment in foreign language classes was the fact that more and more colleges require foreign language background or credits for admissions . It also helped when applying for a job or pursuing a career that dealt with people o f a foreign country. Exposure to different languages allowed students to learn new ideas and cul ture s and broaden their horizons

hared cultures

atin Club had a very fulfilling year , starting out with volleyball and bowling competitions agains t Spanish Club and French Club, with a victory in the bowling alley To continue the excitement, t hey went to the Athenian f or dinner, and t o watc h the tradi t ion of belly dancing French Club also enjoyed a brunch downtown at the Magic Pan.

Instead o f just deciding to do something, they first checked with people from different interest groups In particular, they wanted to help people cope w ith the construction irritations.

" The problem ," Molly explained , " was that it was impossible to please everyone no matter how hard we tried ."

Laugh, cry , think

lthough social studies was a required class, most students seemed to enjoy classes headed by tea chers with great senses of humor and the ability to make lectures more than interest ing.

These teachers not only covered previous happenings, such as the Civil War and Vietnam, but also kept students in touch with current events like the Summit activities and the Iran controversy They made kids think about what was going on, sometimes jerking tears or subjecting them to unrelenting laughter

But let's not forget that the social studies department was also responsible for all that homework!

id for Oscar

riends for Peace was founded six years ago by a group of students and social studies teacher Bob Kinsey. The main idea behind FFP was to make people more aware of the arms race going on between the United States and the Soviet Union .

In 1981 , with the start of FFP , the organization adopted a young boy in El Salvador named Oscar. In 1986, an earthquake destroyed the marketplace where Oscar and his family sold flowers FFP raised funds by selling doughnuts and was able to send him $200 to help rebuild.

t ' s not just a class , it 's fun , it ' s adventure , it's Senior Seminar Senior Seminar w a s not just another " blow off " class; it took a lot of hard work and t ime

The seniors attended lectures , did experiments and wrote research papers They also traveled to the Californias to study marine b iolo gy and desert ecology They spent time on farms , ranches and Indian reservations The students also studied life in histori c al downtown Denver.

The small town of Golden has a variety of shops from grocery to boutiques to drug stores Golden is not a suburb , it is a small town with a heritage older than that of Denver ( does that make Denver a suburb of Golden?) Golden Senior High is privileged to be in a community that strongly supports its high school. The following pages of advertisements by the community helped to make the Golden Senior High 1986-87 yearbook possible .

Since GHS has an open campus , a variety of choices are available for the lunchtime hour GHS students can take advantage of the conveniences the fast food restaurants in the area have to offer Old favorites include McDonald ' s, Taco Johns , and Dairy Queen The arrival of the newly built Wendy ' s and Taco Bell has brought even more attention to the fast food strip

Students also find time to run over to the Save way for a quick snack and to fill their tanks

Looking back - Since GHS was built in 1957 its look has been the sa me until the construction changes began this year

..

The Wall

At first glance , a wall , looks very uniform

One finds it to have , just like one person , it ' s own personal ity , it ' s own chara c ter .

Look again

Each brick meticulously placed side by side , row by row , separated only by a thin crevice of mortar

It stands as a barricade , steadfast against the forces of nature , of t ime .

It also stands as a d ivider of land and of people

It stands as a reminder to the old , a way of life to the young

Look c loser

Each side of the wall the same , yet no two bricks be ing alike

It is a work of art, the bricklayer ' s crattmanship being the only signature .

It stands as a symbol of immortality , and wisdom ,

A flawless shield through which nothing can penetrate ,

Proof that some things will last forever .
