For their outstanding hillbilly costumes, Rose Schumate and her captive, Stan Slayton, were acclaimed by the crowds into the titles of Mr. nd Mrs. Dogpatch. The dance was sponsored by the Pep Club. Skiin The Parkrose skiers gathered points throughout the five Metro league races to take the girls' third, and the boys' fourth place state-qualifying positions. The girls' ski team then finished within the top five places at state in the Giant Slalom f2ndj, the Slalom f5thj, and in the combined ratings f5thj. Cheryl Wessling ranked second individually in the Slalom, third in the Giant Slalom, and tenth in the combined. She was followed by PHS,er Lori Gray, who was the eleventh place skier. In addition to these girls, Juniors Dianne Herrington and Sue Hume, Sophomore Sue Bell and Freshman Ann Rubstello were mainstays of the team. The girlis successful season included second place honors at the Mount Hood Championships where several leagues were represented. The boys' ski team, who qualified but took no places at state, was led by Juniors Rick Bauer and Dave Everist, Sophomores Steve Stearns and Scott Muir, and Freshman Doug Hancock and Tom Hume. When asked about his team, Coach Will Herrington emphasized that they were still a very young group. He added, lt was a very successful season for us and one in which we have gained very valuable experience, which we can utilize next year? One outstanding skier, Dianne Herrington, was one of the six Northwestern girls who qualified for the U.S. Ski Team. The national championships at Mammoth Mountain, California, prevented her from competing at the Mount Hood Championships and State Races at home. Dianne rated 14th in the Giant Slalom and 24th in the Downhill despite running last over the worn course, in 66th position. She was also fortunate enough to compete in the Far West Kandahar at Portland Meadows, which was rated the top world race of that weekend. Among the participants were members of the U.S. Olympic Team and some of the top amateurs in the world. Dianne finished 23rd in this competition, and will surely look forward to more skiing successes in the future. hristmas The yearly Kiwanis Club Canned Food Drive, however, grew to an all time high, totalling 12,032 pounds. Collected by PHS'ers from homes throughout the Parkrose community, the canned food became Christmas Dinners for 80 needy families in the Portland area. It also added 142 cases of food to the supply at Snow-CAP East, an organization that collects food on a year-round basis for emergency use by the needy. Homeroom competition led Mr. Hancocks World History class again to fame for the 2nd consecutive year. The thirty member class collected 2,890 pounds of food, surpassing last year's record of 2,004 pounds. . it -lining.-.V if t X QV' I 5
