Asotin High School - Panthers Purr Yearbook (Asotin, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1978 volume:

AND WHAT DO WE REMEMBER? We looked back and remembered the happy times, feeling the rewards of hard work and dedication. At other limes we felt all alone, isolated in the midst of a crowd. OUR EXISTENCE: NEW irm BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS Our existence was one of constant new beginnings and continuous endings that filled our lives and memories. It was one year, molded by the vast and diverse character of who we were and had become. OUR VICTORIES AND DEFEATS Photograph by Roy Woods. OUR LIVES And as we look into our futures, each day will bring us a deeper understanding of ourselves and our purposes. And even though we will drift farther away, the memories of love and happiness and of victory and defeat will linger on forever. BOOSTERS CALL IT A YEAR This past year the Asotin Boosters actively supported several extracurricular activities and clubs. In the fall, they contributed $75 to send Teri Waffle and Forrest Jenkins to Kansas City for the National FFA convention. They also bought 24 new Pom poms for the drill team, the Music Department was honored with a new $1400 tuba, with the Boosters granting $800 toward its purchase. In the spring, boosters pledged $180 for new track uniforms and $500 for new wrestling uniforms, they also bought a new $74 drag for the baseball field. Headed by sandy Hough and Marilyn Marvel, the club's membership drive brought in approximately 181 new members. Bingo was every Thursday evening at 7:30. Officers this past year were President Lester Spears; Vice President Dave Bonfield; and Secretary-Treasurer Vikki Bonfield. Booster Board of Directors were John Myrick. Bob Mosher.

Robert lived in Asotin all of his life and attended Asotin schools for eleven years. He would have been a twelve-year senior this year. Robert enjoyed deer and elk hunting, fishing, rock and stamp collecting, playing chess, participating in summer baseball, boating and four-wheeling. Along with everything else, he enjoyed life. After graduation he had hoped to serve his country like his father of whom he was extremely proud. ‘ The Seniors of 1978 would like to dedicate this annual to our friend, Robert. JEFF A.

When today has passed into yesterday, we will look back and remember our high school friendships and the joys and pangs of growing up. So many have shaped our lives — our parents, townspeople, peers, teachers, and ourselves. The Class of 1978 will treasure its memories: the traditional wood cutting, inventory of the Bon Marche, Liming the “A, the Senior dinner, and, of course, graduation on May 26. Our advisor was Don Detrick. Class officers were Ed Ausman, President: Belinda Larsen, vice president; Joyce Keefer, secretary-trasurer: and Wayne Stucker, representative. 17 PAMELA LYNN SCOTT “Now. will you please explain your explanation.” Annual 3.

Go Bananas! 33 September Se Rosalia October October October November 4 The 1977 season had some good things happening — the team and some individuals set twelve new school records. We play to win, but if winning is our first aim we stand a good chance of losing. We have a greater chance of winning when our first commitment is to a total involvement in the game itself; enjoying it. and doing our absolute best. Then we have the best chance of winning. We lost five games in the last minutes and half of these we won statistically — on paper, but lost scorewise. We will have 13 lettermen returning next fall and are working to improve ourselves. I would like to thank the nine seniors this year for your dedication — you w ill be missed. Statisticians J Waeffler and ('. Myrick. Starting hack row. left to right: Coach Anderson. Coach Detrick.

The Panthers were narrowly defeated 13-12 by the Lacrosse Tigers. Senior Pam Scott was chosen queen. Her court included Lesli Johnson. Kay Benedict and Peggy Brott. Joe Bulin-game and Don Shaw were both chosen Mr. Football. Drill team performed during halftime to “Lido Shuffle.” Activities of Spirit Week included Bib Overall day. '50's Day. T-Shirt Day. Sucker Day. and Silent and School Color Day. On Thursday night the student body met up the river for the traditional bonfire. 39 40 The 1977 fall season brought a new sport to A.H.S. The resulting volleyball season was a time for developing new skills and gaining interscholastic experience. Thirteen girls competed in both junior varsity and varsity. The JayVees had a 2-4 season, and the varsity, a 0-6 season. The varsity participated in a league tournament held at Touchet. placing third. Asotin lost two matches to be eliminated. With the new interest and hard work put in by the girls, volleyball looks to become another top competitive sport at A.H.S. VOLLEYBALL, WRESTLING ADDED TO A.H.S. SPORTS Wrestling had a great season for its first year with Joe Burlingame as captain. The year included many matches with two tournaments for the 11 grap-plers. In the Kamiah tournament Danny Fitzgerald placed fourth while Burlingame came in fifth. Ad Norton and Burlingame both placed fourth at the sub-district tournament. Bret Greene received the award for the most escapes and reversals. Coach Chet Stewart introduced the boys to the new sport. Dean Keefer kept score. Wrestlers were: Danny Fitzgerald. Joe Burlingame. Ed Earl. Marty Owens. Steve Grinolds. Dennis Hough. Vernie Schnider. Robert Sherman. R. T. Pearson, and Robert C'loke. Not pictured. Ad Norton. 41 THE PAST CANNOT BE CHANGED, BUT THE FUTURE IS STILL IN OUR FA VOR Although Panthers fielded a very young and inexperienced team, they had a very impressive season. The team had only one senior, eight juniors and three sophomores. Of these twelve players, only four had previous varsity experience. The girls finished the season 13-5 and 6-0 in league action. The undefeated league record gave the Panthers an easy first place finish in the Blue Mountain League. Inexperience finally caught up with the Panthers, however, when they reached the District 9 playoffs at Lacrosse. They dropped both District games, eliminating them from further play. The Panthers are still moving toward their full potential as ballplayers. With experience, enthusiasm, and determined hard work, they will be tough opponents for any team next season. 42 Girls’ Varsity, from left to right: Ms. Bremner. Kay Benedict.

Carrie Mynck. and Toni Butncr. 43 This year’s JayVee Team, consisting of four freshmen, ten sophomores, and two juniors, compiled a 13-4 record. Superior height in the forward and center positions, coupled with quickness in our guards and depth at all positions contributed to our 6-0 record against Blue Mountain League teams. Some of our girls are going to cage camp. That, plus the fact that we have many of the year’s team back next year, should give the panther JayVees another good season in 1978-79. 44 Junior varsity team, top row. left to right: Mr. Youlden.

We had twenty-six boys on our ball club and as much depth as we have had in several years. Truly, it was to be a successful season. But. we then were hurt with injuries. Some were minor but nagging; others were very serious. That, coupled with three overtime defeats in succession and another defeat by one point made the winter look very dismal. It would have been very easy to have given up. However, with the character that has since been displayed by these boys many times, they perservered. Coming through a post-season playoff, we emerged as Blue Mountain League Champions and went on to gain respect in the District Nine Tournament for hustle and determination. Therefore. I believe that even though all of our goals wre not realized, the basketball season of 1977-78 was a positive learning experience and. thus, a very successful season.

NEVER DIES JX3 Students showed that terrific Panther spirit during the two Spirit Weeks. They started off Homecoming week with Sock-it-toem Day and followed with T-shirt and ’50's Days. The January basketball Spirit Week showed who was the greatest with Lick’em Day. Dress Up Day. and. of course. Orange and Black Day. THE SEASON'S GONE, BUT 52 53 Inexperience was a handicap but our spirit and desire were undaunted. The season was broken down into three parts. We started off very strong, slumped in the middle and enthusiasm remained strong, and we finished fairly well. 1 think that this is a credit to the thirteen young men representing Asotin High baseball in 1978. 54 55 3 ENTER DISTRICT MEET The track teams had a very successful season this year with Toni Burner receiving sixth in the 2 mile: Kay Benedict, fourth in the mile: and Lynn Fred, eighth in the mile at District.
