Wheelchair askethall Wheelchair Basketball made its first debut at Parkrose to earn S230 toward a student center. The rules are similar to regular basketball with slight differences in dribbling, time allowed in the key Q6 sec.j, and length of quarters Q10 minutesj. The Parkrose Wheelers added spills, confusion and entertainment to their efforts. Five-men teams played each quarter, volunteering from the J .V. basketball team, faculty, wrestling team, and Dad's Club. Their blundering antics were crushed, however, despite a 30-point charity lead. The victorious and skilled Wheelchair Basketball Team was made up of three physically handicapped men, Morris Moorhead, Larry Stephens, and Jack Chase. They were adept at manuevering in their wheelchairs, which are considered part of the player in this game. Halftime caught Jack Chase demonstrating the art of obstacle course running on wheels. His talents were remembered from an assembly which he presented last year to Parkrose students. HIICBS Sixty couples enjoyed the night club music of Michele Mariana and Co. at this year,s semi-formal Sweetheart's Ball, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club. A lighted fountain, lofty streamers, and candle-lit tables enhanced the Valentine atmosphere with the theme Alone Together. Those attending the dance selected Wanda Heddens to reign as queen over the seven princesses nominated by the lettermen. Seniors Deby McCarney, and Carol Putnam, juniors Charlene Kruggel and Nancy Vinsong and sophomores Carol DeBusk and Gaylynn Kidd completed the court. Mr. Touchdown, Steve Morasch, reigned to the victory over Aloha and the sounds of the annual dance sponsored by Twana Kai. The ten senior candidates from the varsity football team were paraded upstage along a red carpet for the crowning of Steve, a tackle playing both offense and defense. He was chosen by his teammates for the qualities of leadership, spirit, sportsmanship, and dedication. Other candidates included Ron Albertson, Bob Hamann, Mark Hardie, Dick Innes, Chris Martinez, Jim Murphy, Tim Raxter, Rick Snell, and Dave Snodgrass. With a hoop and a holler of protest, Parkrose guys were dragged by their gals to the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. The style was ragged, the imaginations were wild, and the music was that of the Outer Edge. Crunchy leaves, newspaper walls, and barnyard cornstalks added to the true Dogpatch decor, with an occasional leftover pumpkin scattered here and there. Two jails and numerous outhouses were handy in case of emergency need. Kick-a-Poo Joy Juice and cookies refreshed the crowd while Marryin' Sam Funk occupied the most popular corner in Dogpatch City, USA. He performed wedding rites and supervised marital kisses at rock-bottom prices. L
