We've only just begun
To learn, to live, to
love.
A wish for luck, and
we'll be on our way
To meet a shining sun.
We'll try So many different
lives to live.
We start out
wondering, asking
why.
For, yes, we've just
begun
Sharing adventures
that are new to us:
Learning to work,
learning to play.
Talking it over just a
few of us,
Growing wiser day by
day.
And when the year is
done - we'll smile,
For all of life is just
ahead.
We'll find a place
where there's room
to grow.
We've only just begun.

It Happened in '75
The year that was at AHS, 1975-76.
During their trip to ~farble the faculty enjoyed nature and the peaceful
serenity of our great out-of -doors,
and were very adventurous, as one of our
more experienced climbers, ~1rs. ~1ills,
proved her perfect balance to Mr. ~tasters.
Members of the Nurses Aide class, along with
Senior Citizens of Aspen enjoyed some of the
goodies of life in Mrs. jordan's home economics room. The homecoming pancake-eating
contest seemed to provide pancakes that stuck
to the stomach at the wrong time and place.
It was a year of volleyball to 16 girls at AHS.
Leading the girls in their first season of NWL
action was Page French, who doubles as secretary to Mr. Way.
The first snowballs of the season are let loose---right in the face .
Winter without snow is like a day without sun
and we had our share of white flakes fall.
Everyone enjoyed burying each other in the
snow.
In many ways 1975-76 was like any other
year, but those of us who leave Aspen High
this year know how much it meant to be a part
of the great activities around us.

Winter Of "76"
The year continued--and Christmas season arrived. The Sophomore class remembered the "Twelve Days of Christmas" in a skit for the annual program.
Equally original skits were presented to an enthusiastic student body by the Senior, Junior and Freshman classes as well as the basketball team. The Student
Council presented the faculty and staff with appropriate ''gifts" to show student appreciation. Students participated in contests to decorate areas of the
building and all students assisted in the decorating of the "cloud high" tree in
the commons.
Mr. Orcutt proved that "math can be fun" to students who sought help on their
unscheduled time.
Music students continued their on-going fund raising campaign by selling candy
to hungry students.
Physical conditioning for sports and in PE classes found student participating in
jogging throughout the year . Cross- country skiing and Alpine events played a
big part in the lives of the skiing students as AHS, as well as ski instructing for
profit.
Amid the various activities, students still managed to squeeze in time for study
(especially during finals week).
YARDAGE!
Homecoming 1975
The week of Homecoming proved to be the most active--if
not the most exciting, week of the year. Each day saw a
new fad explored and presented as everyone took part in the
week's activities.
"NOW USTE:!'\, HOT LIPS"
Activities included a 1950's Day, and the pep rally on Friday was exciting, with contests and games. After hours of
labor the floats, featuring Devil destruction, were assembled at the old Middle School for entrance in the 1975
Homecoming Parade. Along with the floats the Aspen High
Band marched to "Father of Victory" as it delighted the
people who formed the usual long lines on Main Street.
BOOOM EEEV.EN ! ! !
Saturday afternoon the Homecoming game resulted in a 28
to 0 shut-out by the Skiers. The Homecoming dance finished the week in a style which only the Aspen Skiers could
appreciate.

Folk Music In Overdrive
AHS Bluegrass class consists of students who gain enjoyment
from playing basic instruments , such as the mandolin, guitar, and fiddle . Three students, along with instructor Sandy
Munro, have formed their own group which is known as
Homegrown. It includes Chris Phillips, Lee Satterfield and
Linda Shuldener. Chris, a senior, took second place at this
year's National Guitar Flat Picking Contest in Kansas City,
Missouri. Chris is also the first student to receive a Rotary
Scholarship to study classical guitar with the MAA. The

Little Mary Sunshine
R1ch Bcsoyan's Off-Broadway hit, LITTLE ~1ARY SUNSHINE,
borrowing from Strauss, Friml, and Herbert, presented a
saga of Colorado when good meant good, bad meant bad, virtue was all, and justice always triumphed.
A highly dedicated and talented group of 40 students worked
days and nights to present four performances of this delightful and airy musical that concentrated on rehearsals and
developed skills in dancing, acting, and singing, as well as
being involved in lighting, set construction and make up.
Aspen High Music Director Bill McEachern assumed overall responsibility with john Dillon acting as director. Coral
Dillon and Kay Walbye assisted in the arrangement of musical
numbers and planned all choreography. The art department
was responsible for the stage sets and the business department
provided tickets and programs.
Make up artist: Come on. Time to make up . 'Nhere's Kix?
Actress: Could I look a little younger tonight? My parents
are in the audience.
Actor: My pants are too long.
Wardrobe keeper: Check the label. You've got Baker's.
Actor: Wait a minute. What's that?
Make up artist: Mascara.
Actor: No way . . . don't come near me with that stuff!
Make up artist: Hold still! \Vhere's Kix?
Director: Places everybody. Curtain in 5 minutes. 8:00

Make-Up Is Important
It Ended In '76
Fall fell, winter followed with former AHS'er Andy
Mill winning a 6th in the Downhill Skiing at the '76
Olympics.
The flakes continued and so did studying and sleeping in "Poole's Pit. "
Student Council election speeches soon brought on
a sprung spring with baseball, climbing, track and
rodeo events.
As the days dwindled, the rays shone on the sun
bathers and ashes fell from the year's last

Aspen High School Skiers finished their 1975 football season
with a 5 and 4 record and tied for fourth place in the Northwest League.
For the second season in a row, the Skiers had the strongest
defense in the League, holding their opponents to 100 points
in nine games.
Skier defense was one of the most experienced since every
player had seen action for the past two seasons. The defense featured seven seniors and four juniors.
Skier offense had its ups and downs this year. The first
problem was picking the starting quarterback for Aspen this
season. The choice was between senior Jon Westerlind,
starting quarterback last season, or Randy Block, junior.
For the most part, the job of quarterbacking for Skiers was
split between these two athletes and each one had good
games along with bad ones.
Another dilemma facing the Skiers this season was the lack
of experience in the offensive line. Though all five of the
starting linemen were seniors, only two players had seen
starting action last season.
DEFENSIVE TEAM, 1975
BREAKAWAY!
GO FOR IT!
BOOMP!
The Tough Get Going!!!
The team backs were able to grind out good yardage this
season and they did an excellent job of blocking for each
other.
The team had four primary receivers, but they did more
blocking than receiving. This was due to the use of a
grind-it-out offense as opposed to a quick-scoring, passoriented attack.
To have a winning football team, there must be eager,
aggressive players as well as high-spirited, well-skilled
coaches. Without doubt the Skiers' trio of coaches met
these criteria and ranked as one of the better coaching
staffs in the state.
This dynamic threesome was headed by coach Pete DeGregorio who has led the Skiers to five winning seasons in
six years of NWL action including playoff action in both
1973 and 1974.
Aspen had its usual quota of enthusiastic fans this season
including a large group of pretty girls known as the Pep
Club, and the Aspen High Booster Club, a large and reliable group of parents who are concerned not only with
Aspen High athletics now, but also in the future.

The Skiers' Varsity finished sixth place for
the 1975-76 League basketball play. They
tallied a 5 and 8 KWL record and an 8 and 8
over-all mark. It all began on Dec. 6 when
the varsity, missing the services of center
Steve Langley and forward Landry Littrell,
defeated a well-organized faculty squad by a
51 to 42 margin. This game marked the only
time this season when the Skiers were not led
in scoring by either Langley or Littrell.
The next outing for Aspen was on Dec. 12
against 13asalt High. The Skiers pulled out
win number two by a convincing 69 to 35
score. Steve and Landry accounted for 40
points and prompted the nickname "the dynamic duo." Dec. 13 the Skiers traveled to
Hotchkiss where they handed the Bulldogs a
70 to 57 defeat for win number three.
Then the Skiers entered NWL action and dropped a close game to the Roaring Fork Rams
on Dec. 19 with a 52 to 48 score. Skiers were
beaten 66 to 56 by the Rangl ey Panthers on
Jan. 10. Sporting an 0 and 3 League record
the Skiers hit a 3 game winning streak. First
it was 75 to 60 over Battle Mountain, a 69 to
.

Craig 58 to 50, Glenwood 84 to 55 and Roaring

The Skiers finished their regular season with
back to back wins against Battle Mountain on
Feb. 14 (56 to 31) and Feb. 19 over Eagle

games, hopes were high as Skiers entered

A Small Step From Varsity!
For the Junior Varsity it was a season that
ranged from low 20 and 38 point losses to
Glenwood to two breathtaking overtime victories over the Roaring Fork Rams . The
season evolved into a solid 7 won and 8 lost
record. The JV's suffered from inexperience
which is in the process of being rectified by
a strong Frosh contingent. JV may well become a top league team for the 1977 season.

Fresh Frosh Come Through!
Coach Mickey Lantz's Frosh
squad compiled a 7 and 1
record that resulted in third
place in the League.
The Frosh beat Roaring Fork,
Rifle, Eagle Valley, Battle
~1ountain and Basalt, while
dropping only one game to
Basalt.
As the regular season unfolded, several Frosh saw
duty on JV and were contributing factors in a strong JV
program.

Winning Isn't
Everything:
Giving Your All Is.
Although wrestling has been a required League sport for the past five years, this year
was the first in which it received significant
interest.
Because the team was incomplete in the various weight classes, forfeitures were at least
a twenty point penalizing factor in every
meet. In spite of this, several of Aspen's
wrestlers picked up numerous victories during the season.
Junior Mickey Hartman, 132 pounds, took
third place in the League Tournament. Bill
Ziegler and Scot Broughton were also cons istent performers.
In wrestling the pain barrier is a very real
entity, and the degree of concentration neees sary is perhaps unequaled in any other
sport. A split second let-down generally
means defeat. In Aspen matmen must deal
with formidable enemies and apathy among
local fandom . Both athletes and their unique
sport deserve a bit better, and team members are working to improve this.

efforts in Nordic Skiing in 1976. Anne Caudill
dominated her class all season and was selected for Junior National Competition. Valerie Morse also placed well and completed
in the Junior Nationals. Kirk Vanian was first
in his class and he participated in the Junior
Nationals. Neither Caudill nor Vanian placed

Alpine Skiing
Aspen High School fielded 39 athletes to participate in Alpine Skiing for the 1975-76 season. Overall the team was strong but certain
individuals should be recognized for their
outstanding accomplishments this year.
In the girls division it was Belinda Brownell
who set the stage for skiing this season.
Belinda placed in the top ten several times
this season, both in U. S. National and Canadian National Ski Races . She was selected
for Senior Nationals, and finished in first

Aspen Icemen Have Hot Season
Hockey began at Aspen High only one year
ago and has grown into a sport which features
ove1 20 boys. The team's home games were
held at the Aspen Ice Garden. The pucksters
traveled to Denver and Colorado Springs to
play most of their games, and played Ogden,
Utah, and Casper, Wyoming, in home games
this season. A main reason for Skier success
in hockey during this season was the excellent coaching. Strong scoring by Randy Block,
along with fine goal-tending by Mike Hale and
Tony Gordon, kept Skier opponents at bay
throughout the season.

Effort Joining Spirit Uncovers
Admirable Athletes
When that extra bit of blood was requested, the final effort, the boost to
team moral, the lick and promise in the locker room, the funny moment
to break the tension, the willingness to endure the extra moment---these
are the athletes chosen by the coaches for their willingness to participate
to the fullest without necessarily receiving the cheers of the crowd. From
the Coaches--- Hats off! Three Cheers!

Pitch, Hit, Run Spring brought us baseball. This year promised to be the best ever with a core of seven
players returning from last year' s varsity
squad that finished second in the League. In
addition, 12 athletes returned from the 1975
JV team which also finished second.
In all, the Skiers played 15 games this season
including 10 varsity and 5 JV contests. Spring
training for Aspen began on March 1st and
less than three weeks later the Skiers played
their first game against Eagle Valley.
Since Aspen did not have a field of their own
they played all of their home games in Glenwood Springs. During the past five years the
Skiers never placed lower than second and won
the League in 1973.

Trying To Make
The Best Better
An integral part of life at Aspen High
is led by the Student Council. Dances,
fund raising projects, and student activities are but a few of the tasks assigned to the council each year. This
year's activities included the Homecoming Dance and Parade, the NWl
Fall Workshop in Craig during October,
the NWL WinterWorkshop in Glenwood in February, and the NWL Spring
Workshop in Carbondale in May.
The Student Council is in charge of
Christmas decorations for the Commons and in spiriting class participation in decorating the school.
OFFICERS: Scott Baker, Beach Edwards, Laura Harris, Raz Lee

The Council engaged in student exchanges this year including one with
Lakewood High School in March and
with other NWL schools during the
school year. Members also worked
with other N\VL schools in recognition of the Bicentennial Celebration.

spring . The Debate Team attended
eight tournaments before the district
qualifying event in Grand Junction in
February. Those students who qualified at the District Meet advanced to
the State Tournament in Denver during March.
Although debate is not a spE>ctator
sport, it is an important event each
year and with continued support from
the school , debate has become an
integral part of life at AHS.

A Lot Of Pep, A Lot Of Steam
Behind every good school team there is a good pep club, and
Aspen High is no different. Pep Club acts as a built-in-rooting section for football and basketball games during the year.
They learn cheers so they can assist the cheerleaders in driving the team on. Pep Club is mainly responsible for posters
which appear around school before each game, and they help
to organize the crowd-pleasing pep rallies each Friday during the season. They also sponsored a Christmas Dance on
December 20.
Mrs. Judy Gerbaz and Mrs. Pegge Logefeil, sponsors, have
initiated many Pep Club activities and projects during the
year.

Outing Club Trucks On
AHS Outing Club is comprised of a group
of people who enjoy each other 1s company and who go out and get into the outdoors through hiking, skiing and camping experiences. Philosophically the
club provides a chance for students and
teachers to break the barriers and
communicate.
This year there was a hike to American
Lake, skiing to Van Horn Park, and to
the back of Buttermilk, with an overnight at Little Annie Basin, and a mjor
spring trip to Lake Powell.

the direction of Ken Larson.
A Fall Winterizing Clinic
gave auto mechanics members
valuable e:-..-pcrience in car
maintenance and service. Officers attended a Fall Leadership Council and learned how
to direct a meeting, how to
usc money-making projects
to advantage, and other functions of a VICA club.
The club meets occasionally
to enjoy breakfast at local
restaurants. Members partipate in student work-nights,
which allow the individual
student to work by himself on
a project which he needs to
finish . Two field trips were
taken to local auto repair
shops to learn basic as well
as advanced techniques.

Aspen High School GAA activities are somewhat inactive this year so
that sanctioned sports for girls will have every opportunity to get
started.
GAA has a culminating activity at the end of each six- week unit in
the GAA class. These units are: volleyball, handball, basketball,
softball and swimming. GAA will have a year-end softball game with
the mothers as in the past.
Intermurals for girls will return next year in an active way.

Sweating, smiling, laughing, crying and
groaning for nine months put together the
1976 Silver Queen. The people on staff
and in the labor room are one exhausted
but happy family.
Editors, assistants, advertising staff
and photographers, with mid -wife photographer Cory Selby, all took part in
the creating, and agonized in the final
labor. The entire staff was totally inexperienced and only the editor Donna
King was a returnee from last year ' s
group. All three advisors ''ere also new
to the Aspen yearbook techniques, and
ministered to the staff through the production and delivery.

Life IS an adventure in which we may not know
exactly what is going to happen just beyond the
turn of the road However, too often the day in
which we live IS filled w1th regrets over the past and
