This melodrama was a lengend in its own time. Paul Doughton, the mean Villian, Mr. Cribbs was always planning something evil that kept the audi- ence booing and hissing. Karen Kir- kevold and Laura South sang their hearts out in a soft duet as did Mary and her widowed mother, Mrs. Wil- son, Bilbee Lane, as Edward, gave fire power to the play as Mary’s as- piring lover. “The Drunkard was the best Melodrama that we have presented in the last several years. Paul Doughton, Karen Kirkevold and Bilbee Lane gave a great perfor- mance and the other cast members supported them admirably.” Larry McAllister, Director. Karen Kirkevold and Laura South singing their hearts out. Paul Doughton terrorizes Diane Barlow. 12 Paul Doughton snickers to the audience. Laura South and Karen Kirkcvold speak in confidence of troubles ahead. Bilbcc Lane expresses his love for Mary before his down- fall. Luster Reigns Over Homecoming Week Activities “We’ve Only Just Begun” was this year’s theme for the Homecoming Dance. Some of the highlights of the week were the coronation assembly on Thursday and the half-time show Fri- day night. During half time of the football game the seven princesses rode around the track in old-fashioned cars and then were presented to the crowd by their fathers. The half-time show also included a fireworks display. The dance, featuring a super light show by L L, was held Saturday night. Darlene Luster was crowned Home- coming Queen. When asked of her thoughts about the week. Queen Dar- lene commented, “Homecoming was really special for me. 1 thought Jodi Kumpula and Cindy Shine did a good job planning it.” Queen Darlene Luster and Mr. Jim Luster are presented to the Homecoming audience during half time. 14 Seniors show their punk during the dubbing assembly for the dance. Senior Princesses, Kelly Kenyon and Lisa Mullen, are driven by Al Riesen in one of the old- fashioned cars used for the ceremony.

The Bulldogs lost four games before reaching the turning point with South Albany. South was the first to reach the goal line, but West came right back to even the score before the first half ended. The half time truce was called to regroup and call new strat- egies. During the second half, the team resummed the deadly struggle which continued until the final sec- ond ticked away. The smoke cleared and South led 13 to 7. The final Westward movement was the civil war against the Corval- lis Spartans. The Bulldogs put up a tremendous battle, earned a total of twenty points, and met the enemy’s bitter challenge. Unfortunately through sudden death the Bulldogs were beat. After the cheering and the tradi- tional Alma Mater, the audience gave the Bulldog team a standing ovation for the excellent effort and teamwork put into the most exciting game of the season. Tension shows on the Bulldog's faces as they sec their teammates struggle with the Corvallis Spartans. 16 ROW I: Randy Hubbard. Mike Taylor. Shaun Austin. ROW 2: Coach Tom Hawkins. Joe Resch.

They started the season some- what unprepared and inexperienced but ended by scalping Corvallis 30- 18. Injuries plagued the first few games of the season, but the over- time triumph at South Albany gave them the confidence they needed. They finalized their season by win- ning the last five out of six games. The Annual Staff and players are sad to see Mr. Sabatka retire from coaching this year. His win over South was the 100th win in his coaching career. FRONT ROW: Jeff Frisk, Shaun Austin. Bret Cope. David Lindlcy. Mike Scott Brinson. Rod Smith. Lcs Muno, Brian Buset. Steve Barrett.

IK Seniors Massacre Juniors The class of “81 defeated the class of “80 last year and mas- sacred the class of “82 in a repeat performance this year. The girls competed on September 24, at Me- morial Stadium. The seniors, quarterbacked by Jodi Kumpula, stampeded for six touchdowns. The juniors scored once, producing a final score of 36- 6. Senior Cathy Dempsey played an outstanding game making three of the six touchdowns. Juniors Dana Denlcy and Julie Fadenrecht also moved the ball well for their team. Efforts by Laura Riesen and Jodi Kumpula proved successful in leaving the juniors in the dust. The game V as VCT exciting and a great part of Homecoming week.

The two teams lassoed and hog- tied their competitors giving them no advantage over the fighting Bull- dogs. Individuals gave their all to make the 1980-81 cross-country season the best ever. o Rw . “The guys were great this year. BACK ROW: Mr. Swanson, Scott Johnson. Mark Whitney.

Not only do the runners per- form in the hot sun but also in the freezing rain. Cross country runners have an inner struggle of the mind and body. They must tell themselves “just one more step” when all their strength is gone and they feel like giving up, but they must go on ... This year’s girls cross country team, despite the small turnout, built a strong foundation for next year. Individuals saw some good competition this year and will come back with the experience needed for a competitive team. Beth Shea prepares for another stampede. 21 hRONT ROW: Mary Flores, Beth Shea.

However, that fact didn't prevent them from working togeth- er and competing to their full poten- tial. They credit their progress to hard work and to Gcordie Duckler, the coach. Geordie’s encourage- ment and great sense of humor kept the team’s spirit high. The team’s biggest asset was sen- ior Martha Petty. The girls chose her as the “Outstanding Gymnast’’ because of her exceptional skill and leadership. Martha, team captain, com- ments, “There was something really special about the friendships we made on the team; the kind we'll never forget. We scored some of our highest scores of the season the last meet. It was really fun. It was ’in- credible'!! Gcordie described it that Kathy Paxion exhibits the skill required on the balance beam. 22 BACK: Coach Duckler, Patty Ross. Martha Petty. Liz Hanson, Peggy O'Harc. Diana Mack.

Final Season Overshadows Boy’s Gymnastics This year’s boys gymnastics team had its ups and downs. “Ups” in- clude the consistent effort and per- formance of senior all-around Todd Spivey, the unexpected and much needed contribution of sophomore Kirk Swaney and an overall positive attitude by all of the team members under adverse conditions. “Downs” include a 1-8 season, caused by a lack of depth, and the fact that this is the last year for Oregon Schools Activities Association sponsored boys gymnastics.

Soccer has quickly gained popu- larity at West High. This was the third year for girls soccer at West. In spite of the inexperience they managed to lassoe four vicious vic- tories. An outstanding player, Trish Jackson, has played goalie for the past two years. Martha Eustcrman, team captain, said this had been a good season for them.

This year was a very successful, winning season with six wins and three losses. They are coached by Matt Pizzuti, who attends OSU. One ma- jor highlight for the team was beat- ing crosstown rival South Albany. Another highlight was coming back from a two in a row losing streak against Corvallis and South Salem to slaughter McNary. Wiley Smith kicks the ball down the field to score a point. Craig Koehrscn lines up for the big kick 25 Girls Capture Second At Invitational The girls won second place in an invitational volleyball tournament, losing only to South Albany. The team consisted of four seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore. Of the four seniors, Cathy Dempsey was voted Most Inspirational and Loni Yee was Most Valuable Player. Darlene Luster was most improved over last year’s players. Key players on the team were junior, Dana Den- ley and senior, Valeric Wright. Chris Nelson was the Varsity Vol- leyball coach.

Volleyball team rounded up the season with a 4-14 record under the assistance of coach Lindsey Klunice. The team had a rather good attitude toward the season. During the game they showed much enthusiasm and ex- citement. The highlight of the spikers sea- son is when they gambled the crosfc- town rivalry and slaughtered the South Albany Rebels in a show- down to the finish. Many of the girls on the team gained much experience playing for the J.V. squad. This should help for next years squad which should prove to be one of West’s strongests teams. Bulldogs spike one past the Vikings. 27 West Becomes A Ghost Town Halloween brings out the festive spirit in West Albany students. Goulds, pumpkins, witches, mon- sters, and even Raggedy Ann dolls add decoration to the halls. A group of bizzare costumes roaming the halls were the “Bomb- ers”. The captain of the Bombers David Quevedo, said “I had a lot of fun dressing up on Halloween. Our good idea came from the movie “The Warriors”. The drama club showed their spirit and painted faces to raise money. Students thought Halloween was mirth and frivolous. Charlie l.anham and David l.indlcy “’Bomb” out 28 Halloween brings out the best of West students. Gabricllc Glaser shows off the latest style in professional business attire. Fads Migrate West A fad is typically a practice or interest that is followed until the no- velty wears off. Fads are most abun- dant in fashion, ranging from con- servative full length dresses to liber- al punk rock “costumes”. Another well known fad is music. Music fads involve a wide variety of sounds in- cluding rock, disco, punk, and jazz. West Albany seems to be one of many neglected schools where fads always pop up after the rest of the country has started the craze, but nevertheless they always show up sooner or later. This is apparent by a few of these fads in the halls. Hcalhcr Mark steps out in her casual but stylish outfit 29 Open shirts seem to be a fad for Ted Stalick.

The boy’s pushed themselves hard at every practice and it paid off greatly in the end. Six members of the wrestling team went to State. These six freshmen, David Howell; sophomore, Steve Resch; junior, Chris Robertson; seniors, Mark McLain, Joe Resch, and Mike McAllister. Senior, Joe Resch, commented, “This year’s season was very suc- cessful and personally rewarding. Instead of peaking at State like we should have done, we peaked at Dis- trict. Steve, my little brother, was the only one to place at State. I feel the rest of us should have done bet- ter. Next year’s team will have greater depth and more experience in the lower weight classes but they will have less strength in the higher weight classes.” I.eft to right: Top row: Sheldon Jackson, David Quevedo, Mike McAllister.

Swimmers Strive For Excellence The 1980-81 swimming season was a success do partly to the new swimmers which added depth to an already excellent team. The team consisted of six seniors, three ju- niors, ten sophomores, and two freshmen. Mary Beer a returning senior said, “This year was really great. We had a big turnout which helped out in close meets. We had four wins and one loss, but ended up fifth at district. I feel everyone has im- proved which is a way to end the season.” Mary Beer explodes off the blocks.

Bulldogs Shoot For State This year the Varsity Basketball team finished fourth in the Valley League with a 16-11 record. The Bulldogs, which were picked to fin- ish in the league’s cellar, surprised everybody by obtaining a state play- off berth. After league play the Bulldogs had to win a mini-tournament to ob- tain a play-off berth. They won their first game at Medford against the Black Tornados with a last second shot by Kirk Tibbetts. Next, the Bulldogs traveled to Churchill where they easily beat the Lancers. They were well supported at state with over half of the school travel- ing to Memorial Colliscum. The Bulldogs were 1 -2 at state with their victory coming over South Eugene. West Albany also received first place for the Sportsmanship Award.

Their record was 11-10 and the victories were well deserved. One of the highlights of the sea- son was when they were losing to North Eugene by 11 points at half time and came back to win by 6 points. Another highlight was when they went into overtime against McNary, and the score was tied in the last 8 seconds, and they brought the ball down the court and Mark Whitney shot the ball with 1 second left to bring the score to 42-40. “Some of the most outstanding players were Mark Whitney, Mitch Martin, Mike Ogan, Ron Boone, and Roger Reid.” said Steve Hols- worth.

This was a fun team to watch. The games were high scoring, with a lot of running and action. It was fast break basketball. Coach Roberts described them as “running and gunning”. I really enjoyed coaching them, they were a good team that will con- tribute to a strong program in the future”, said coach Dean Roberts. Junior Mike Callahan scores two for the Bulldogs.

Junior Barb Dempsey and sen- ior Wilma Dupee shared the most valuable player award. Senior Cathy Dempsey received the most inspira- tional award for the second year in a row. The girls made it to the league play-offs for the first time ever, but unfortunately lost to Corvallis in the first round. Overall, the West Albany varsity girls basketball team improved greatly.

Dar- lene Luster and Lisa Bilyeu directed it this year. The prom went smooth- ly because of their leadership and help from other senior class mem- bers. A flurry of balloons marked the crowning of Queen Gwen Hinzman. She said, “I had a great time and it's a night I’ll always remember. The Sno-Ball court consisted of three seniors, two juniors, and two sopho- mores. The Ball was held on December 13 in the cafeteria from 8:00 to 11:00. “Zcmira” provided the mu- sic.

There were many dances in- cluding a computer dance, toga dance and the sweetheart ball. There were basketball games, swimming, and wrestling to keep ev- ery one busy. Many other activities including assemblies, dress up days, and class competition made this winter one to remember at West High. Kari Carter and Sue Scroggins try to keep warm on a cold morning. 52 Rick Kclm and Patty Corso cut trees for the Christmas Prom. 53 Ann Swink asks “Was I supposed to jump? Pep Assemblies Excite Rip- Roaring Crowd No, the indians are not attacking; there is no need for the calvery charge for that screaming and yell- ing. It is a pep assembly at West High. Although it may seem that scalping and burning is going on, it is only competition yells which are one of the high-lights of the pep as- sembly. Creating hairdos with shaving cream and rolling eggs on the floor with noses are a few of the indian tortures for students. These pageon rites concluded with everyone standing up and repeating an old and mystic chant-The Almamater. Cheerleaders try to get crowd involved at South vs. West assembly.

Dress up days gave people opportu- nities to dress up as cowboys, to wear crazy glasses and tics, to show off jer- seys, and to show their spirit by wearing blue and gold. The sophomores received recognition for their outstanding hall decorations, winning first place. The “Spirit Stick was awarded to the juniors for winning the competition yell at the assembly. One of the biggest events during the week was the Powder Puff game. The girls worked for weeks preparing for this war between the juniors and sen- iors. The class of 1981 won for the sec- ond year in a row. All in all, the week was a great suc- cess. A lot of people participated, and everyone had a good lime.

Peggy Blair worked hard as chairwoman, orga- nizing meetings, dubbing assembly, and the prom itself. She says, “I think the prom went pretty good, and the committee participated willingly this year.” The dubbing assembly started off the week when the court was picked. Skits were used to find the people in the crowd and were done with a fun- ny point of view. The theme was “A Love Affair” which was accented by Southern decorations. The coronation took place at the prom; Joyce Weatherford was crowned queen by last year’s queen, Lori DuMount. Joe Resch was an- nounced as king.

Senior Joe Saboe came through for the Bulldogs in league matches and had a pretty consistent year. “This years team was very dedi- cated, and it showed.

There were only three return- ing members from the year before. The team participated in many tournaments and had a lot of fun, but didn’t score as well as they had hoped.

Ill Annual Staff Conjures Up Western Spirit The staff was young this year with only two returning members, Molly Wolfe and Jodi Kumpula. The group was very enthusiastic but were quick to realize the problems involved with producing an annual. The annual staff struggled long and hard with slave sales, T-shirt sales, and ad sales to help the sen- iors raise money for color pictures. Unfortunately, the seniors did not fully support the idea; therefore, the pictures returned to black and white this year. The staff had many problems but with the guidance of their advisor, Darrell Wolfe, the staff managed to be very successful. Who says annual staff is all work and no play?

They attend leadership class everyday, which is designed to give increased opportu- nities for carrying out the duties of student government. The 1980 officers worked togeth- er to accomplish many things; these include early graduation and the nutrition break. They also built a float for the Veteran's Day parade, which won the grand sweepstakes. President. Cathy Dempsey and 1st Vice President.

First Vice President Heather Mark listens to discussion during a meeting. The 1981 Student body officers consisted of five juniors and one sophomore. Being an officer gave these people the chance to voice their opinion, become involved in school activities, and attempt change in our systems. These officers became very in- volved. They put on the annual school picnic, winter sports banquet and gave a calculus award in honor of Mr. Swisher. The officers also worked on improving competencies, upgrading classes, and evaluating the nutrition break. FIRST ROW: 1st. Vice President. Heather Mark; 2nd Vice President. Jacie Jacobs.

Senior class activities include the Christmas prom, bacalaureate, and the all-night party. Dances have been held to raise money. Senior involvement was the key to this year’s success.

Gwen shows Patty the two-step for the prom. Junior Class Officers Take The Reigns Spirited and involved are two char- acteristics of this year’s Junior class. They have practically dominated the spirit competitions at most of the pep assemblies. The class officers have no- ticed the Juniors willingness to be in- volved in various activities this year. The class has gotten behind their officers in preparations for the Junior- Senior prom which is their responsibil- ity. Bake sales and dances are two ex- amples of the projects they have used to raise money for the prom. The class of 82 has certainly come a long way since last year and is definite- ly showing a great deal of potential for the years ahead. Junior class president.

They sold “I love West Albany ’ pins and worked in the concession stand Our class has always stuck together and showed a lot of spirit. “I think we have the potential to improve West Albany said Eli- zabeth Wolfe. The class of '83 is not easily intimidated by upperclassmen as previous classes have been. They won the competi- tion yell a few times and were not put through initiation as other classes. Sopho- mores have encountered experiences such as getting lost in the halls, being able to par- ticipate in a wide variety of sports, and fac- ing difficult classes with new teachers. The sophomores will prove to be a good class because they know their goals and have fresh ideas. Sophomore class president.
