Cougar Office Production Youth COPY A ready smile and a stack of neatly typed papers was the trade mark for Cougar office production youth. For twenty-five cents a page for students and free of charge for teachers Copy members would type anything they could read. Copy took place during the Office Procedures class, which was run like an actual office. A receptionist was on hand to greet all customers and make assignments to typists. When there was no rush, members worked on business simulation typing packets. Copy earned enough money to have dinner at Tortilla Junction, an Ice Cream feed at Dairy Queen, and to celebrate on Secretary’s Day. Row 1 Lisa Harman. Cindy Luce, Patty Chafee.

Journalism Rushing to meet deadlines, improving writing skills and learning public relations kept Journalism I and Advanced Jounalsm students busy all year. The two monthly publications, the Cougar Chroni- cle (Journalism I) and Student Spectra (Advanced Journalism) entertained and informed the student body and community. Cougar Chronicle editor Charlie Holbrook and her staff of beginning journalists endeavored to perfect writing skills and become familiar with techinical aspects of jounalism. Editor Kelley Mar- tin and staff produced a superior metro-sized paper, complete with community features, student opinion and sports coverage. The unsung heros of both papers were Robyn Hauser and Don Cooper. Robyn managed to keep the Chronicle and Spec- tra supplied with photos while Don Cooper displayed excellent sales ability by generating enough ads to support both publications.

Mathletes Five regular Southern Oregon Math League meets and the final meet at Southern Oregon State College pro- vided a busy season for the Mathletes. Events throughout the year ranged from circles to series and sequences, and many mathletes spent a great deal of time reviewing for the meets. Both teams placed well in the SOML, competitions. The Anti- Derivatives secured a fourth place over all, while the Derivatives were sixth. High scorers for the season were Susan Almond, Adam Thompson and Bob DeVyldere, with Sophomore David Meads showing great promise for next year’s program. Row 1: Lynda Rotmans. Tene Davison.

Drama Club After a year of dormancy, the drama program was reviv- ed through the efforts of enthusiastic students and advisor Rick Ferris. This year was a foundation year in which members strove to create a theater they could work in. Aspring actors developed their skills and learned the impor- tance of a professional attitude toward productions. The result of these focuses was a sucessful Pops Concert in con- juction with the Swing Set. Actors provided lead-in dialog for singers and added a great deal of depth to the show with their after humorous antics. With the experiences of this year’s production under their belts, the Drama depart- ment is sure to produce great things in the future. Row 1: Suslan Connally. Charlotte Holbrook. Shawn Davis.

Art Club Art Club was a new organization started by Karen Walker intended not only for artistically gifted students, but for those who needed or wanted more time for art. Seniors Gina Miller and Cindy Almond especially made the club a success, giving many of their free hours to the varied pro- jects of the art club, including murals for the Business and Music departments. Debra Bell. Kathy Green and Aeth Clark show promise for the future of the club. These people all worked hard on the trophies for the Awesome Run, and overwhelmed the Art Show with a number of excellent entries. Row 1: Aeth Clarke. Kathy Green. Debra Bell. Karin Walker. Cindy Al- mond. Gina Miller. Ski Club Ski Club dedicated itself to the proposition that all students are created to ski. A snowy season combined with many dances and bake sales, enabled members to organize an overnight ski trip to Mount Bachelor early in the season. Despite chilly winds, all members managed to enjoy the trip. Two members even had the adventure of being towed down the mountain by the Ski Patrol. Ski Club president Lynda Rotmans, secretary-treasurer Patti Sloan and student council representative Ray Elmer exchange their positions for a diploma, and wish good luck to advisor Ron Davison and next years’ Ski Club.
