SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

Here we ore in our final weeks of our high school years. Of oil of the

comments and complaints mode about never finishing school, we ore begtnn-

ing to wish these I ost fovr years hod not gone by quite so fast. For along with

the hard work there were lots of good times. Even the hard work was fun ot

times. Maybe this was because of the excellent teachers we hod.

Webegonoursenioryearwithogood start by adding two new members,

Sue Speckman and Gory Swanson, to our original 9 members of lost year:

Joyce Christiansen, Anita Roberts, Betty lorrew, Kathleen Randall, Kenny

Strong, John Thrope, David Stapleton, Carroll Cerise, and Tommy Kearns.

We ore very proud of two of our members, John Thrope and David

Stepleton, who have already mode fame. They were selected lost year and

again this yeor to go to the Junior Notional Ski meets.

We ore looking forward to the rest of this year's events: the Junior-

Senior Prom ond the Senior Trip.

We hope that in our future years we co -oke Aspen High School os

proud of us os we ore of it.

JUNIOR HISTORY

On September 5th we set soli from Port Sophomore on the third year

of our Journey through Aspen High School. There were nl,.. memoers in our

cr---Ted Armstrong, David Barbee, Ferne Brawn, Jimmy Bionaz, Kenneth

Broughton, Ann Hollenbeck, Harry ligen, Roberta Johnson, and Muriel

Sondstrom--ossisted by our captain, Dole Knapp.

The first few weeks of our Journey were smooth soiling, but as we

settled dawn to our dutiesthegolebegontoblowforwe realized It took money

to finance our Journey. We decided to publish a class newspaper, which

proved to be o difficult undertaking. Our next task was to give o movie,

this was very successful both educationally and financially.

Midway In our voyage we lost one of our members, Jim Bionoz, but

picked ~ Emily Thorpesowe were able to continue over the high waves with

9 sailors.

Encouraged by a little smooth soiling we decided to go dramatic and

give a ploy to furnish o little entertainment. With the help and guidance of

Mrs. Gann we were able to produce our play, "The Reody Made Family".

Her good seamanship kept us afloat until we got our bearings. We are oil

very grateful to her for what she did.

Our Junior-Senior Banquet was nat only on outstanding affair, but

was a very important event in our lives and will long be remembered by all

of us os the outstanding social event of our journey.

The end of this third year finds all crew members looking forward to

the coming year and our journey to Senior Port.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY

Nineteen frightened freshmen students started out their first

high school journey with Freshmen Initiation, which we all survived

without too much difficulty.

Arrer becoming full fledged freshmen we were introduced to

the old grind of classes, studies, ond homework, which not too many

of us appreciated; however along with the studies come the parties

and the fun which was something that we, os eighth graders, hod

looked forward to.

Now that our Freshman year is almost oyer we have realized,

through all our gripes and groans that highschool and the work involved

is not so bad os we hod anticipated. The lessons we learned both oco-

demicolly and socially will be of great use to us after we ore through

school and out on our own.

We wish to thank all of our Faculty fC>f their help during this

first year and we will be looking forward to seeing them next year.

PEP CLUB

The Pep Club storrea in the fall with quite o Iorge membership. Foot-boll was our first big deal. We elected Ferne and Barbaro Brown, Emily Thorpe as our cheer leaders with the help of the Student Council. The Pep Club went to most of the games. LaterwhenEmilywos forced to drop it, Bobbie Johnson joined the two remaining cheer leaders.

Myrna Patton is the Pep Club president. Beverty Paulich the secretory and Muriel Sorvlstrom is treasurer. Miss Coffman, fourth grade teacher, is our very able sponsor.

As a money making activity, the Pep Club sold license plate togs. They hod "Skiers" on them in crimson and black.

The Pep Club sponsored several parties in the fall and winter.

At the football Homecoming Game we elected Tommy Keorms, foot-boll king and captain of t~e year. Ferne Brown wos .,lectcd football queen. We also hod some pep rallies for basketball and football.

The Pep Club was very loyal this year and we feel we did quite a bit for our team moral.

GLEE CLUB

In the school year 1951-52, the glee dub gave two concern. The

first one was given in December, which was o great success. We joined forces

with the bond and hod the concert at the Opera House. The lost one was held

on April 3, in the Opera House and featured many songs from the Bl'oodwoy

show, ·•South Pacific".

From our glee club, o 7th grade trio was formed, and two high school

girls; Ann Hollenbeck and Emily Thorpe, sana several duets throughout the

year.

We feel that our glee club has accomplished o greotdeol. Our thonks

go to MIS. 1-NJno Frost, for the fine job of occ0fl'1f)onying, and to you Mrs.

Oberding, for directing and helping us.

BAND

Aspen Public School Bond, under the direction of Mr. Elbie Gonn,

has hod o highly successful year. Membership in the bond hos included thirty-

five students from the fourth grade thtough the twelfth.

It is with a warm feeling of accomplishment thot we look bock on our

many Tuesday night rehearsals, the concerts in December and April, and

most of all, the trip to Grand Junction where we saw all the colorful Bonds,

and hPord lots of fine music.

We are anxiously looking forward to next year and a chance to learn

a greater variety of fine music.

FOOTBALL

Aspen h!gh mode a good if not excellent showing of their talents and powers as o football team. The man who is responsible for this good showing is our coach, Mr. Zamora. The first string was composed of the following: End- Marolt; Center-Borbee; End- Kearns; Quarterback- Thorpe; Halfback- Stapleton; Fullback, Swan-son. Substitutes were few but strong shown by the only TO of the Carbondale game which was mode by Ted Armstrong on o sixty yard run. Some substitutes played more of o game thon the regular first stringmenfilling in the spots very well. These ore the boys you wont to watch next year. Other highlights of the season were the defeat of S i It on their own grovel pit; the return engagement of the League Chomp-ions, Minturn, which ended in o defeat for them. With the loss of four first string players through graduation and no seasoned talent coming in the boys will hove to work extra hard ond hove plenty of backing from oil Aspenites. To Mr. Zamora, our coach, we owe our successful season through his wise ond talented experience on coaching o six mon football team. To these we pay special thanks for their co-operation ond sincere interest- Steve Knowlton, Melvin Hoaglund, Mr. Armstrong, Mrs. Stapleton, Mr. Knopp ond to all Aspenites we owe hardy thanks for seeing us through the season. ASPEN FOOTBALL TEAM. I

STUDENT COUNCR

This yeor our student body hos hod its first experience in governing

our 1chool community. A Student Association wos formed which consisted of

oil teachers ond students in grodes seven through twelve. The Association

then elected representatives ond officers to the Student Council. Our first

Student Council President is John Thorpe, Secretory - Emily Thorpe, ond

Treasurer- Betty Lorrew. Representatives ore Harold Brown, David Vilter,

Irene Johnson, Don Tesitor, David Borbee, ond Kenneth Strong. Our sponsor

is Mt. Knopp.

We hove undertaken mony things to benefit the community, school,

ond the students. We hove been successful in almost oil of them. Some of

the projects thot we hove completed in our first yeor hove been the construction

of o school social calendar, the drawing up of a Constitution for the Student

Association, onoonpotrol ond monitor system, and on onnuol Amateur Show.

We ore curr,.ntly working on the formation of on Ethics Committee, ways ond

means of assisting with the Wednesday afternoon ski program, and methods of

improving the present noon monitor system. Although OVrluccess in the various

projects hos been encouraging, we hove not escaped the beginner's shore of

stumbling blocks. The noon monitor system for the high school might be

coiled a good example.

We do feel thot the Student Council has been a worthwhile oddition

to our education ond thotwe con drow from our initial experience for on ever-

improving orgonizotion in the years to come.

The 1951-52 basketball season hod it's flourishing moments but it was o lock of facilities which hampered the Skiers from winning o game . If showers were in-stalled and the floors reconditioned it would oid the team in making o more success-ful season next year. Among the court slingers that mode o good showing were Dove Barbee, o toll center; Harry ligen, on oil around specialist; Ted Armstrong, o fast dribbler; Don Tesitor, o fast hook shot artist; and Claude Conner, o thin, fast, good, long shot artist. On the JuniOf Varsity squad Carlos Lorrew, John Maurin, and John Shipp ore good prospects for the Vorsi ty squad.

shalom mon plus being o good ju"'l'er. Dove Stapleton is one of the foster

downhill men ond Melvin Hoaglund is good in both alpine events. Keith

Marolt is on up ond coming lad who is very consistent in oil three events.

We owe our very successful ski season to Steve Knowlton ond his re-

I ioble assistant Lowell Elisha. Alsc to Gole Spence we poy our thanks for

helping cooch the ski teom. And to the town people we extend our gratitude

for their cooperation in financing the ski meets ond trips.

LEFT TO RIGHT:

Coach, Elisha; Slovens; F. Brown; Poulish; B. Brown; Moore; Thorpe.

The hot spark of the girl ski team is little Carolyn Slovens and right behind

her trail is Ferne and Borboro Brown. A big threat In any downhill is Bcv

Polich. Solly Moore is o fast and coming shalom star and is doing good in

down-hill. Emily Thorpe hod a little tough luck and crocked up in the middle

of the ski season but will be o strong challenge next year. Muriel Sandstrom

is working hard on downhill and looseness. The girl ski team has profited very

much under the consistent coaching of lowell Elisha and is looking forward

to another year under Mr. E I isho.
