John Reimers An important part of the students' life involves getting away from the books and experiencing the outdoors. West Albany students spend a lot of their free time in nearby parks and wilderness areas. Bryants' park is a popular place to go. You can jog beaten paths or relax and have a high time. Escape. .

Each class competed with en- thusiasm against the other classes to receive the winning points for Spirit Week. The Junior class girls won the Powder Puff game over the Seniors, 28-6, which gave their class a boost for winning the entire week. To end the eventful week, the Bulldogs overruled the Lebanon Warriors in an exciting football game. Spirit Week was a fun and en- joyable event. Spirit Weeks 13 Homecoming Court It was the best time of my Senior year' . . . Kelly Hendricks. 14 Homecoming Reigns . Homecoming spirits were dampened this year because of a lack of communication between the school board and the teachers of the district. Although most things went according to schedule, the serpentine was cancelled because of the un- fortunate time of the negotiations. In spite of this, homecoming week was filled with fun and exciting events leading up to the coronation of the queen, Kelly Hendricks. The Sophomore princesses were Margaret Reid and Cari Martinez, the Junior princesses were Sue Widmer and Julie Sorte, and Senior princesses were Renee1 Brazeau and Nancy Govro. Honorary princess was Jenny Teuermann, our foreign exchange student from West Germany. The court was chosen by popular vote. The queen and princesses made their tradi- tional parade around the football stadium during halftime of the game . Then the court was escorted to the center of the football field to be presented to the crowd. When the game had ended, there was a dance held at the Elks Club which brought Homecoming Week to a close. 1.

Delmer Thomas Coach Dasch took the Bulldogs, a young and determined team, out under the lights and began their fight for a place in the league standings. Other teams and coaches had respect for the Bulldogs. As the Corvallis head coach put it, We were lucky to get out of there alive. The fourth quarter didn't happen to be the Bulldogs favorite quarter, as they were edged out by a mere handful of points in a couple of heartbreakers.

Carol McClurg Parties offer a time to relax and share experiences. Not officially included in the school curriculum, they are still an important part of the year's activities. Self expression is often stifled at school because of classes, routine, and crowded halls. A party is the time to be yourself with those who under- stand you. It is a time for friends (boy and girl) to get together and talk with other friends. A party is, simply, a place where good times happen. 1. Randy Goff shows his opinion of a joke. 2.

I' [HO- - Enthusiasm, committment, sportsmanship, and higher skills are some of the qualities re- flected in the West Albany girls volleyball teams. The beginning of the season was played well and improvement was seen in every game and practice. The girls' varsity team ended their season with a big victory over South Salem. The win boosted the team to a sixth place league finish out of nine teams. Their final record was 4-12 . I feel we were better than the record showed, coach Carol Hahn said. Good teams aren't always winning teams, she added. In past years, there was only one coach who worked with the varsity and J .V. teams. Three coaches helped the team this year. Ms. Hahn on varsity, Ms. Bunnel covering J .V., and the third coach was a student teacher at Memorial, Kathy Bryant. She volunteered her services during the entire season. The team is losing only two seniors, Lisa Taucher and Claudia Mark. So the spikers will have a lot of experience returning next year. 1. Lisa Taucher spikes one too hard to return. 2. Donna Luster uses good stradegy. 3. Lillian Yee in head-on battle with opposition. 4. Three J.V. members show some good team work. Volleyball 21 . Over the River and Girls cross country was in its third year of competition . It was a surprise that there would be a team at all. Dennis Swanson, the new coach was the reason for the team. Participa- tion was low at first, but quickly rose to more than ten girls. As a whole, the girls felt good about their season. Even though their meet record was not what they expected. A majority of the girls on the team were freshmen and sophomores, and coach Swanson is optimistic about future seasons. It has been said that for victory, the long distance cross country runner has three op- ponents to overcome—the land, the competition, and most importantly, himself.

The record for this year was not as good as expected by many, with the girls 1-7, in league meets. Time and experience seem to be the main concerns of coach Mimi Gallagher. There are many inexperienced sophomores on the team this year, but this will help for the years ahead. Coach Gallagher says she is looking for- ward to the future of the team. We have many more new members this year and I'm really pleased to see so many interested ninth graders going out for gymnastics. 24 Girl's Gymnastics Endurance, Dedication, Drive. .. 1.

Gymnasts Prove, It’s The 1976 Boys Gymnastics team began the season knowing it would be a long, tough road to the District meet. Coach John Vandepas stressed fundamentals to his young team and their efforts were rewarded by steady improvement in strength, scores and con- fidence. Captain Rusty Thompson led the team in the scoring Department as the All-Arounder posted a new school record by topping 35.00 points at the District meet, and placing 4th in the All-Around. He also placed 2nd on floor exercise which moved him on to the state meet. John Hagerty's District side horse performance moved him to the state meet as well and David Marshall was a state alternate on the still rings. 26 Gymnastics How You Play the Game’”.. .

Jack and Charlie, who invite their sweethearts, Kitty and Amy, to lunch. They intend to use Charlie's aunt from Brazil as the chaparone, but when she fails to show up, they convince their friend. Lord Fancourt Babberly, to impersonate her. In the confusion that follows, we find Jack's father and Amy's uncle falling in love with the disguised Lord Babberly. Then the real aunt, Donna Lucia, shows up, adding to the comedy. The story ends happily however, providing the audience with a night of hilarious entertainment. Charlie's Aunt was fun because the cast be- came such good friends. Gregg Nicholson 28 Charlie's Aunt With Charlie’s Aunt” Cast Jack Chesney............ Charles Wykeham . . . .

From late night practices on hot summer nights to long bus rides to cheer at games, the Varsity Rally spent many hours unifying students and teams. Elec- tion week in the spring chose Allison Barnes queen, Susan Cegavske and Karen McClain seniors, and Julie Sorte, J ill Wenger and Julie Jean to the Varsity Rally. The six member squad practiced during the sum- mer months preparing themselves for the National Cheerleading Association camp at Lewis and Clark College in July. The squad returned from the clinic with honors, a Spirit stick , and a trophy. The re- mainder of vacation was spent preparing for the up- coming football season. Senior Don Tapper, Mark Winkenwerder and Hans Egerman juniors, were added the to Varsity Rally between football and basketball. This break was hectic, revising stunts and yells. Mrs. Hart, Rally advisor, helped the squad organize all the pep assemblies, striving for partic- ipation. of the student body. Rally is really fun, but it's a lot more work than most people realize, you have to be dedicated-or you just can't make it; but I think it's worth it says Susan Cegavske. Varsity Rally 31 Practice Makes Perfect. It's a good thing Jill Bruner Beat'em bust'em thats our custum...Let's go Bulldogs... Two, two we want two...cheers and chants heard at J.V. games resulted from many hours of practice after school and evenings. Three summer clinics began the long process of J.V. tryouts. Individual and small groups of girls made up an orig- inal routine to present to a screening committee and then to the student body at the second pep assembly of the year. Jill Bruner, sophomore, was selected J.V. queen; sophomores Rene Jensen, Cari Martinez and Shannon Barrett, and junior Kris Poirier completed the squad. Marching in the Veteran's Day Parade, helping with school pictures and performing at pep assemblies were some activities that the five member was involved in through out the year. Promoting spirit for the J.V. team was the main objective-a goal the squad achieved. 1. 1976-77 J.V.

While Kim Dugan portrays Loretta Lynn in The Gong Show , Sue Widmer captures the audience's attention with a couple of songs she composed. This year's pep assemblies are filled with class competi- tion; the senior women slide their Lila Michler stuffed sleigh across the finish line.

Queen Karlene Reigns The dubbing of the Christmas Court followed the traditional ideas of Santa Claus and receiving gifts. The first skit brought many laughs from the audience when Santa Claus (Shari Miner) promised gifts to some naughty kiddies. Suspense built in the Sophomore class because Santa had a special gift for an unknowing Sophomore princess. The Sophomore girls were on the edge of their seats, then...Rene1 Jensen was dubbed Miss Holly. In the next child-like skit, Jim Holman played a shy, thumb-sucking little boy; and Sue Huevel acted the part of a not-so-shy little girl. After much begging, a kiss, and a vow of silence;Jim whispered his secret to Sue. Forgetting her vow, Sue shouted to the whole student body that Chris Barrand was Miss Mistletoe. The suspense reached its climax as the students watched the final skit. Kathy Spencer played the part of a mother who caught her children peeking under the Christmas tree. After scolding her disobedient kids, she allowed them to open their gifts from Santa. However, there remained one gift which Santa intended for a Senior girl, The search began. Kathy climbed over people and finally sat the gift in Senior Karlene Cotterman's lap. This ended the dubbing of the 1976 Christmas Court. After selling candy and baked goods, Karlene Cotterman was crowned Miss Merry Christmas. The three girls sold a total of $470. 1.

As people began arriving at the prom, everybody waited for the music to begin. It was a dream come true. I'm glad it happened my Senior year. Most people think it is a bad court, but I had lots of fun. Karlene Cotterman Christmas Prom 37 Teamwork Is the Key The West Albany Varsity Basketball team was a pleasant surprise this year considering it opened with a 1-4 loss record in pre-season play which looked somewhat grim for the Bulldogs. West was ranked second to the last by press polls, but determination and hard work helped the Bulldogs end the season in third place. The team felt we wouldn't be 8th stated senior Jerry Sparks we had really tough pre-season games Earning a spot in the playoffs was the pre-season goal: a goal the team achieved, only to lose their first game by a narrow three point margin. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat is a well known statement to the Bulldogs. They played eight games which ended within a five point margin, losing a heartbreaker to Lebanon by one point. Beating South Albany by one was one of the highlights of the season. The morale of the team has been excellent, and there have been no problems. says senior Kent Borges. The key to the Bulldogs success is teamwork-getting along with everybody-playing well together. We play as a unit, that's why we're a lot better than people thought states junior forward Chip Cunningham. The Bulldogs put that teamwork to use, ending league play with a 12-5 record, impressing many people both inside and outside of the school. 1.

Success was evident at the first of the season, but in following games the bulldogs had not played well offensively or defensively in the first two quarters of play. But as time went by, the team got closer and closer and there was much less conflict between team members. Crowds were much better this season. Plus get- ting features and write ups in the Democrat Herald helped team spirit. Varsity ended their season with a 4-12 record, and J .V. with a 6-9 record. West 26 Corvallis 22 West 37 N.

John Becker The John Becker award is the ultimate for swimmers at West High. This award is named after the dedicated and untiring swim- ming coach, John Becker. The parents of team members created and support this trophy. An out- standing senior boy and an out- standing senior girl receive this annual award at the winter sports banquet. To earn this award requires dedication and endurance. Practices range from 5:30 in the morning to 6:00 at night from 5 to 6 days a week with weight lifting between. However, all the hard work pays off when you turn senior and you know the award could be yours. 6 Swimming 47 I Want to Fly Like an Eagle. . . 1. Lillian Yee and 2. Dave Thompson perform at district.

As the season progressed this would keep the young Bulldogs from the success they wanted. The coach- es goals were to rebuild the program by developing a team that would execute technique, have good condition- ing, and develope good team attitude. In both cases, the Bulldogs found success by meeting these goals. The team leaders, Senior Captain Brad Prosa and Junior Captain Tom Sanders deserve much credit. Their leadership was a determining factor in development of the teams attitude. The winner of the most outstanding wrestler Award went to 157 Iber Tom Sanders. Tom had a good junior year highlighted by his trip to the State Tournament. He also won the Barlow invitational the Southern Oregon in- vitational and took sixth place in the Western Nationals.

Fiddler on the Roof marked the first full scale musical by Golden Masque in four years. The last musical, George M. , put Golden Masque far into debt. Not so with Fiddler . It played all three nights to a packed audiences and according to director Larry McCallister, made a $1000 .00 profit. The production of Fiddler was a school project involving three departments. The Art, Music, and Drama departments all combined to make the play a success. Vocal and Orchestra Director was Dwight Klemin. Larry McCallister directed the cast. Bill Gillham, Dennis Roberts, and the Art Students de- signed and built the set. But the real success was accomplished by the cast itself. Forty-seven students slaved at practices and dress rehearsals, collected costumes, and burned the midnight oil learning lines and songs. The music for the songs and the play were pro- vided by an outstanding 17 piece orchestra directed by Dwight Klemin. Not only students played in the orchestra, but people from the community participated too, playing the string instruments. Fiddler on the Roof was a exceptionally well produced play by a terrific cast and outstanding pro- duction staff. Fiddler on the Roof 53 .. . A Time for Us”. . . BACK ROW: John Holman, Pat Hagerty, Todd Steimer, Jerry Sparks, Chip Cunningham. FRONT ROW: Debbie McCorkle, Sherry Bewley, Lisa Thacher, Tammy Cate, Carrie Poehlman. A Time For Us was the theme for the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the Girls League. It is cus- tomarily a semi-formal, girl-ask-boy dance. This year there were several creative variations and artistic innovations which made it quite unique. One such innovation was the beautiful fish pond that highlighted the outstanding decorations. The pond was designed and constructed by the F.F.A. (Future Farmers of America) group and had real live goldfish in it. The court for the dance was chosen by popular vote. From this vote the top five couples were dubbed at an assembly as princesses and princes. Three of the five couples were seniors, and one couple junior, and one couple sophomores. The boys voted for the girls and the girls voted for the boys. Then another vote was held to elect the King and Queen; and the winners, Lisa Thaucher and Todd Steimer, were announced the night of the dance . Carlene Kotterman did a great job as head of the dance committee .All of the decorations were done in pink, black, and silver silouets which celebrated Valentines Day in high style. 54 .. Auto Classics of 1977. . . A variety of cars were found in the parking lot ranging from oldie-but-goldie pickups to flashy new Porsches. The cars re- flected many different types of personalities of the owners. For some students, the parking lot was a private, comfort- able place to skip class—perhaps to have a cigarette or two. To the sophomores, it was a frightening place to visit or walk through—being on guard for hotrods and upperclassmen. One may never forget the Sentries in the lot during noon hour. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Glenn kept an evil eye out for es- capees . It was a tight squeeze in the heavily populated area. A few scrapes and bent fenders resulted from the over-crowdedness. Parking Lot 55 .. Trophies Prove Performing at every home basketball game is not an easy task. It requires hours of practice but ask any Hi-Stepper how she feels immediate- ly after a performance and she'll reply, I wish we could do it again! The team this year con- sisted of 23 junior and sophomore girls. Under the direction of Mrs. Humphrey the girls began the school year by performing at the first foot- ball game, but their really busy season is bas- ketball, which lasts from December through February. In between performances, the Hi-Step- pers sponsored their annual chili feed. They won first place in the Timber Carnival and Veterans Day Parades, received second place at a com- petition in South Salem, and in January, hosted their own competition, which turned out to be the largest local dance drilI competition in Oregon for the year. As a grand finale to their busy sea- son, the Hi-Steppers placed first at Jefferson with their routine Rollerball . Tired, but hap- py does not quite sum up the feelings of the Hi- Steppers. Exhausted but content is a more ac- curate description. Performing is an art.

One of the more notable contribution in fashion was hairstyles. Hairstyles went from the look of long and silky to short and sassy. The wedge , the Fawcett Majors, and the Whoosh cut were just a few of the styles. The fashions in clothes this year for the guys were mostly novetly T-shirts, down vests and jeans. For the girls it was gou- chos, boots, trousers and sundresses with hemlines leveling off at the knee. This does not of course, even begin to touch the many fashions experienced in '77, only a few that caught the eyes of West Al- bany's students. Visible at West .. 1.

Thor Baker. 5 Assemblies Conquer Boredom. . . Winter and spring provided the student body with in- teresting assemblies. Students became involved in yell competitions or just sat back and were entertained. As- semblies allowed students to break the everyday routines. Among the assemblies given in the spring, the Varsity Rally presented one of the most spirited West High has ever seen. The once drab gymnasium took on the nothing- to-do-on-a-Friday-night look, (t-p'd), and huge weather balloons vollied between the classes. Winter and Spring Assemblies 63 Girls Go for Diamonds.. Girl's softball is in its third year of existence, but still has not established the status held by tra- ditional boys sports. Since many schools throughout the valley still do not have teams, the games are played as last year with West's two teams and South's two teams playing a double round robin, with each team playing every other team twice. The teams are expected to do well over South Albany this season. Participation is good with 43 girls signing up for the team. Instead of dividing the teams into J .V. and varsity squads, they de- cided to cut the teams into two evenly matched ball clubs. Mimi Gallagher and Rhonda Zosil head the two teams. Both coaches feel the playing scnedule will be a re- laxed situation. It's just for fun. says coach Gallagher.

The team is young and inexperienced but new head coach Christine Nelson feels she has 3 or 4 strong players re- turning for this season. She also feels the team should develop a lot of depth as the season passes and that the basic skills are most important in the game. She's also putting a little more emphasis on conditioning.

Led by junior captain Thor Carlson, the 14-man squad earned a 6-2 record and finished 3rd in District 8 competition, a po- sition first year coach John Vanae- pas thought was very respectable. Also successful was the doubles duo of Tim Eusterman and Forrest Reid, who landed a birth at the state tournament.

Over sixty girls showed up for practice early in March. The team is young but it also has several experienced girls returning from last year and all the team needs is to cultivate that experience, generate the enthusiasm, and work on the outstanding strong points-coaches Ric Blasquez and Cathy Butler and assistant coach Gene Dagostini are the people who can bring this team to- gether for another successful year.

Field and Track Events Track and field proved to be a success for the 1976-77 school year. There were many outstanding performances during the season. Terry Collins set a school record in the 330 intermediate hurdles with a time of 39.8 seconds. Kerry Poehlman set a school record in the discuss with a 124,7 toss. This year's teams were noted for their exceptional hard work and determination. The majority of the participants will return next year as veterans. In spite of injuries this season, both Coach Luster and Coach Blasquez are very proud of their teams' ef- forts and feel that the athletes represented West Al- bany in its highest tradition. 1976-77 Varsity track team: FIRST ROW: Craig Cunningham, Brett Huff, Nick Kelsay, Rick Kenyon, Gary Read, Doug Trout.

This was the first year for many of the participants and yet they demonstrated training ability of veteran athletes. Coach Gene Klemp feels that this is one of the best turn outs in recent years. As a result, many of the team members will move on to the Varsity team possibly cre- ating a state challenger. Many participants had excellent seasons and will be candi- dates for the Varsity team next year. This was my first year in track. There was a lot of competition within the team, so next year we ought to be pretty good. Marc Wibbons 78 J.V. Boys Track .. Spring Scoreboard. . .

The ceremony took place half way through the dance. Connie Southwick and Craig Wibbens, last year's king and queen, re- turned to crown the new royalty. Pictures were taken at this time and the royal court was introduced. Dancing, refreshments, and socializing continued until 11 o'clock.

Sunshine, Food, and Music The student picnic displayed various traditions and a few knee-slapping sights. The seniors took their turn at constructing the class pyramid and later went on to play tackle football. As always, frizbees and whiz-rings filled the sky and lounging couples cluttered the field. Onlookers got a chuckle when seniors stuffed ice down Tom Holman's and Terry Murray's backs. Two local groups tuned in to the occasion and provided rock-and-roll for the layed-back picnicers. What is a picnic without food? Mazzi's pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, submarine sandwiches, hot dogs, cakes, cookies and pies; what a feast for an army of ants! The student body funds provided ice cream and softdrinks to subdue the afternoon heat and the sophomore class sold cotton candy to add to their bank roll. It is doubtful that anyone left hungry after feasting for an hour and a half in the sun. 82 Picnic —Ingredients of a Great It was a very exhilarating ex- perience Curt Hinzman 1.

Baccalaureate was a real tear jerker again this year as always. This solemn and sobering affair forces the graduating class to realize that the high school life is ending and a new life is beginning. The Rev. Herbert E. Morris delivered the sermon, and the invocation was read by Scott Cox. Creation sung by the A Capel- la Choir and led by Dwight Klemin, was ap- propriate for the service. Two highlights of the program were: 1 . The slide show created by Doug Petty and Jim Weis which revealed seniors' activities throughout the year and created real excite- ment. 2 . Gregg Nicholson revealed some of the humorous memories of West High in a speech called A Bit of Humor . Dave Marshall led The Lord's Prayer which was recited by the class of 77 . Allison Barnes and her brother, Doug Barnes, sang One Step At a Time as part of the ceremony. Janet Mills and Ann Rich- ard closed the program with Colour My World. Bacca laurea te 87 1.

Senior members of the band and choir performed for the crowds. Salutatorian John Wood and co-valedictorians Maureen Sheeran and Doug Trout gave ad- vice and thanks to their classmates in their speeches. School board members Mae Yih, Wes Price, and Ron Smith handed out diplo- mas to the eager students, many letting friends and relatives know they had finally made it. After the final diploma was received, the graduates stood to sing the Alma Mater one final time as the Class of 77 . The seniors then departed to private celebrations or to the Elks for the senior all-night party. Graduation seemed like a dream that would never come true!11 Maureen Sheeran Graduation 89 We the People—Striving LEFT TO RIGHT: Gregg Nicholson, School Board Representative; Forrest Reid, President; Sabina Loeffler, Treasurer; Sue Such, 2nd Vice President; Debbie Luster, Secretary; Donna Robertson, 1st Vice President 92 Student Body Officers for Student Rights.. A good time and a great experience! Forrest Reid Enthusiastic student body officers obtained several goals this year. One such goal was the changing of the school's outdated constitution. I think this is good because now more students have the chance to become involved, said stu- dent body secretary, Sabina Loeffler. Student body officers surprised students on several Fridays with Friday Surprises! The surprise consisted of a live band playing in the cafeteria at noon. Students had a chance to listen and enjoy the music while they ate. Officers rallied student spirit by decorating the gym before several pep assemblies. Blue and gold toliet paper hung from the beams and rolls of toilet paper covered the floor. This was something new for West. Student government was really productive this year. We fell short of some of our goals but our main one, revising the constitution, was accomplished, said student body president, Forrest Reid. 1.

Senior Class Officers John Hayes............President Shawn Lowery . . . .Vice President Kathy Spencer . . . .Secretary Wayne Bush............Treasurer The class of 1977 had one of the biggest turn outs of presential candidates ever seen at West. There were eight candidates for president all of which were willing to be the best class officers ever. After voting, Wayne Bush was elected treasurer; Kathy Spencer, sec- retary; and Shawn Lowery, Vice Presi- dent. The office of president ended with a three way tie between Pat Hagety, Kelly Hendricks, and John Hayes. After the run off vote, John Hayes was chosen as the new Senior Class President. These officers had a good year. They organized many activities one of which was the Senior all night party.

Car washes, bake sales, spaghetti feeds, and many other activities were planned to support the Bulldogs. The Junior class ex- ercised enthusiasm and spirit as it won many com- petitions throughout the year.

Neverthe- less, this is an organized class, evidenced by money making projects like: selling plant fertilizers and holding car washes. One of the more notable projects was to spon- sor a dance. One half of the proceeds from this dance were donated to the American Cancer Society in the name of Keven Goetz, a sophomore student who tragically died of cancer. Being a sophomore is both embarrassing and exciting! states Janet Miller. It is a chance to meet a whole new world of people.

Girls League is an all girl organization that welcomes all three grades, and it revolves around its officers and cabinet members. This year the theme was For Everything there is a Time . This theme was varied throughout the year. For example, the Sweetheart Ball used the theme A Time for Us . Girls League sponsored many school events. These events were the Big-Little Sister Party, Style Show, Alumni Punch, Christmas Bazaar, Sweetheart Ball, Dessert for Dads, and the Mother's Tea. Girls League also sponsored the Christmas Court. The money raised by this court was used in funding the Girl's League scholarships for graduating Seniors. Raising money is another important asset of Girls League . There were projects such as car washes. Heath Candy Sale, and a Christmas Candy Sale (Candy Canes, Candles, and Almond Roca). This money was used to pay bills and to sponsor different activities throughout the year. But Girls League also is a club which donated a lot of money and time to public service organizations. In November, Girls League Trick-or-Treated for U .N .1 .C.E.F.; and later in the year, they raised money for the United Way. The girls also help our community by collecting food at Christmas time for needy families. All in all, Girls League is a very active and in- volved organization. It is the hope of Mrs. Green, the officers, and this year's cabinet members that more girls will show interest in Girls League and the activities it sponsors. 1. Kathy Kenagy reflects all the events of the Alumni Punch. 2. During the final Girls League Assembly, the girls show their appreciation to Elaine Green and all her efforts throughout the year. 3.

Rachelle Matheson Girl's League 145 • • • Speaking up, League Speech League is open to all West Albany students. Its goals are to Improve speaking abilities through competition, and to promote interest in interscholastic speaking. They com- pete in the areas of debate, oratory, extemporaneous, and public speaking. Speech League attended ten tournaments this year. At the South Salem Speech Tournament Tim Coonrod placed first in Humorous Interpretation. They did well at the University of Oregon Invitational with Gregg Nicholson placing first in After-Dinner Speaking, and Tim Coonrod again making finals with a second in Humorous Interpretation. At the McMinn- ville High School Speech Tournament Beth Clingings got a first in Junior Humorous Interpretation, and at Lewis Clark College Tim Ryan received a second place trophy in the same event. At District, West Albany qualified five students to compete at State: Forrest Reid in Extemporaneous and Im- promptu, Tim Coonrod in Radio Commentary, Tim Ryan in Humorous Interpretation, and Beth Clingings and Harry Taylor in Cross Examination Debate. These five speakers went on to the Oregon High School Speech League State Meet, which was held at Eastern Oregon State College in La Grande. Speech League activities included the formulation and selling of the football program at home games, speaking at the Kiwanis Club, and also at our own Fine arts Week. They concluded their year with a picnic. Proceeding the picnic, the members voted on the year's outstanding speakers. The results were, Outstanding Speaker- Gregg Nicholson, Outstanding New Speaker - Tim Ryan, and Outstanding Contributor - Brent McMorris, who was Speech League President this year. 1.

Each student in DECA is studying for a specific career in marketing, management, or distribution. The members that make up the club come from the marketing class. The club works to- gether to run the student store. The people in DECA have activities to keep them busy all year long. They go to conferences in places as far as Arizona, where they learn even more about marketing and business. 148 Deca Bulldog Corner Into a Success... . Annual Staff Sets High Annual Staff: Rod Rogers, Neal Ruckman, Advisor Darrel Wolfe, Jeff Wimer, Carrie Oleson, Kelly Hendricks, Lori Runninghawk, Kris Buxton, Kim Dugan, Sherry Bewely, Julie Jean, Susan Cegavaske, and Ann Johnson. The annual was the greatest experience. I have really grown and matured this year. Editor Kim Dugan The annual staff slaved long and hard to improve the quality of the BU LLDOG . Through imagination, determination, innova- tion, and just plain work, more pages were added and the size of the book enlarged. Color in the opening section and special effects in the closing helped to make the BULLDOG an outstanding achievement in the history of the annual. Selling ads to the local merchants saved the annual from sure extinction due to in- flationary costs. Along with the marketing classes, $900 .00 worth of ads were sold and more is hoped for next year. 150 Standards for Future Editions . . 1. Doug Petty sets up photography equipment. 2.

Swing choir, ABOVE, was active this year singing for service clubs, banquets, and luncheons. Varsity choir, TOP RIGHT, sang at the Winter, Christmas, and Spring concerts. An exchange program in Portland highlighted the year. .. Talented 45 individuals unite everyday to produce music as one large musical group-the concert band. The band presented two annual concerts, the Christmas and Spring. The group involved themselves in many other activities throughout the year. They presented half-time entertainment for all home football games which kept the band busy during the fall. The concert band placed second in both the Veterans Day Parade and O.S.U.'s Band Day, proving the excellent marks they received at the U of 0 band contest. The same day, the West band gathered on a foot- ball field with 20 other bands for a huge half- time show. On the other hand the band performed at the 1st annual Tangent Parade; West was the Individuals Unite to only band. The Tangent Parade was probably the funnest parade all year states senior Jim Frolic. Frolic also was selected to play in McDonalds All-American High School Band, which marched in Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and the Rose Parade in Pasadena. At the state solo competition Peter Dalen proved himself as the states number one baritone player. On the agenda were exchange concerts. The Dalles spent a day in Albany first, and then the West Band traveled to the Dalles to perform and stayed with various host families. 1976-77 Concert Band (ROW 1) Anna Bryant, Dawn Perkins, Ann Mary Noble, Sue Kenyon, Rosy Leovey, Kathy Kenagy Alice Mauser, Meg Rians, Scott Co , Bruce Behrends, Karen McClain, Kathy Pharis.

The pep band performs during a time out. A basketball game just isn't a basketball game with out the pep band. Belting out tunes such as NBC Theme Song and Soul Con- vention helped entertain Bulldog fans before the games at half-time and during time outs. Senior Jim Frolik led the band during the games. The band started this year as the AB Orchestra. Members of last years pep band joined together to play for pep assemblies and various other events the group also traveled to Wilson High School of Portland to play at a football game. As Basket- ball season began, members of the concert band joined the AB Orches- tra to complete the official pep band.

Students learn through a hands on curriculum what will be expected from employers after high school graduation. The program has been a great success for past West students and will continue to help ready tomorrow's young job seekers. I'm not sure about college, and I want to be prepared for a job follow- ing graduation. Jim Swink 159 . Adventures in Far-Away Lands.. The funnest time was when I went to New York in March.

Whirlwind accomplished the impossible this year. It underwent a complete change in format and style and still maintained its rating nationally. Rated first class by the National Scholastic Press Association. The paper changed from a bi-weekly newspaper to a monthly news-magazine, using color on the cover and additional pages. This style earned the Whirlwind Best U .S . paper in the state at a journalism con- ference at M.H.C.C. Special thanks go to Mrs. Kay Burt, the advisor, She worked harder than the staff at times. 161 F.F.A.

We weren't a very active club, but we're going to try and do more next year. Latin club began the year by participating in the Christmas bazaar. The club made and sold pizza, as shown in the photo above, to pay off a debt from the following year. As the highlight and final activity members acted out a scene from a Latin play during the Spring Arts Festival. 163 . .

Not just everyone can be in this club. It takes a lot of hard work to become a member. You must have an accumulated G.P.A. of 3.50 to qualify for membership. Then you go through a long screening process. Sometimes the Honor Society sells Spirit Ribbons or earns money for scholarship help. Honor Society is an organization of students who are striving to attain higher goals. J . Wood 165 .. Art Club Heads for the 1. The clan munches down at the Ski Inn in Sisters. 2.

Initially organized by 5 senior girls, Patti Swank, Cindy Newton, Sue Cegav- ske, Jenny Teuermamn, and Kim Dugan, the club got off to a good start. Members cooked and sold hot- dogs and hot apple cider at the Saturday Market during the Christ- mas holidays and also made batiks to sell. New members boosting the club were Tom Grant, Brad CaferreIli, Thor Baker and Tony Saboe. The club went on to sponsor a Little River Band raffle to bring in some extra money. It held a crab feed for the public in which crab, salad, rolls and icecream were served. Then, the club rented a booth at the Spring Arts Festival and sold good- ies . The goal to which all of the work and money went to was a camping trip at the Metolius River over Memorial weekend.
