Coquille High School - Laurel Yearbook (Coquille, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1951 volume:

Published by The Associated Students of the COQUILLE HIGH SCHOOL Coquille, Oregon DEDICATION To Coquille s interest in education, represented by the proposed new high school, we proudly dedicate this 1951 LAUREL. It has been said that the hope of the world lies in the education of its youth. Our world needs inspired leaders and intelligent followers, trained for independent thinking and right living. Schools have become civilization's main hope for this educational process, so we are realizing that finer schools mean finer training. The people of Coquille, aware of the importance of well-educated future citizens, have x’oted to build a new secondary school for the community. Our dedication of the 1951 LAUREL is to this culmination of educators' dreams in the Coquille area —a new high school! Representing the growth of the community and its optimism, this new school will make learning more pleasant for its fortunate students, and will be a source of pride to Coquille.

These policies are carried out by the Superintendent and Principal, with the aid of the teachers. The board meets every second Monday, and often has special meetings at other times. Each member of the board serves for five years, becoming the chairman in his fifth year. A new member is placed on the board each year, so that there are always at least four members who are familiar with the policies of the past. The chairman for the year of ’50-’51 was Mr. Guy Mauney. The school board does a lot more work than many of us seem to know. Very often, a meeting starting at 7:30 was apt to continue until past midnight. These meetings were for us. The Superintendent may be called an “In-between-man”. His job is that of initiating new policies, keeping the old policies working smoothly, through those under his authority, and also of taking the proposals of those people to the board. The Principal has the responsibility to see that the High School is run efficiently. His duties lie in the area of guidance as he acts as councelor to both teachers and students. Also, he must manage the finances of the student body. School Board (left to right) Mr. Guy Mouney. Chairman; Mrs. Ray Jeub; Mr. A. F. Moorehead, Mr. Ivan Smalley, Mr. Craig Perrott, Mr. Elbert Schroeder. The program of a school is affected by its facilities. This school has limited ones at the present time. However, for the rest of the time, starting in the school year of ’52-’53, the students of Coquille High School will be in a new building, which will have more facilities, and then the curriculum, as well as the extra-curricular activities, will broaden.

STUDENT COUNCIL Undertaking the revision of the old C.H.S. constitution, our student council began a very successful year of supervising student activities. Representing Cocjuille, Larry Wilson, Bob Christensen, and Barbara St. Clair attended a regional conference at Ashland on October second and third, discussing problems of common interest to all student councils. An all county student council is being considered bv the Cocjuille student leaders to help increase the efficiency of school government. The 1950-51 council authorized the music system which was installed in the Junior Auditorium in February, along with the purchase of records. A drive to sell magazine subscriptions to raise school money was sponsored by the student council under the chairmanship of Rod Noah. Larry Wilson, student body president, proved a very capable leader and was ably supported by Bob Groves, vice-president; Barbara St.Clair, secretary; and Gay Cedarquist, treasurer. Mr. Nihil served as advisor to the council. i 6 Sandra McCurdy, Valedictorian—97.33 Marilyn Atkinson, Salutatorian—96.56 Donna Mast .............. 96.12 Mae Dean Greene__________95.35 Robert Christensen .... 95.33 Joan Peart______________ 94.68 Jo Anne Newton............94.37 Gay Cedarquist___________93.54 Carroll Ann Creager......93.33 Marilyn Purkey ........ 93.12 Colleen Walsh ____________92.64 Dorothv Miller__________.91.29 Valedictorian for the class of ’51 was Sandra McCurdy, who maintained a grade point average for four years of 97.33.

Junior-Senior Rendezvous, a formal dessert, was held by the class to honor the Seniors before the Prom. The class will, prophecy and laughter were enjoyed with the strawberry shortcake. Another achievement of this class was the play, “Inner Willy ”, given on March 15. Everyone enjoyed this delightful comedy, directed bv Miss Annetta Quick.

SOPHOMORES The class of '53 has shown ability and willingness in making this school year an outstanding one. One of the first events this year was the initiation of the Freshmen. The Freshmen officers came to school in bathing suits and barrels. Girls came in gunny sacks and the boys came in sport shorts and low-necked blouses. At noon the girls scrubbed the steps with toothbrushes and the boys cut grass, a blade at a time, with knives. Then after the initiation the Freshmen were welcomed with a dance. Another activity was the pie social sponsored bv the Sophomores. I he Sophomore class also made money by selling candy at noon. 22 One of the final activities of the Sophomores was to decorate for the Senior Commencement. The class was well represented in football, basketball, and track. Doug Kistner, Jim Hollenbeak, and Fritz Peterson made letters in football. Others made letters on the Junior Varsity team.

Freshman initiation, October 6, was one of the first obstacles to be overcome, and the class grinned through everything the Sophomores could give them. Barrels, bathing suits and uncombed hair will be remembered by the class as part of their entrance into high school. Coquille’s first bonfire-jamboree in many years was held on October 27, and hard-working Freshmen provided the wood, tires, and boxes which were burned. 1 his blaze preceded the Coquille-Marshfield football clash. A Freshman sport dance was held on February 23, and was fun for all class members. Five Freshman boys won letters on the Junior Varsity football team, and twenty-eight members of the class were in the band. 1 here were five Freshmen and two Frosh managers on the “B” squad basketball team. In fact, Freshmen could be found in many school activities during the year, adding their pep and vitality to all phases of school life. 23 24 C E G A N I Z A T I € N STANDING (left to right: Pol Harsh, Wanda Hills, Diane Jack-son, Peggy Tuttle, Diana Schroe-der.

Reeds-port then invaded Coqui lie’s territory and went home on the short end of a 28-6 score. Then came that fateful day, Friday, October 27—the day of the big game with the Marshfield Pirates. On their own field the Red Devils tasted bitter defeat as they went down to a score of 33-0. This defeat spoiled all chances for the district title. Still smarting, the Red Devils then smashed Sutherliri, 42-0 on the Coquille gridiron. In the last game of the season, the Red Devils traveled to Myrtle Point for the traditional Armistice Day clash. There they downed the Bobcats 39-13. The 1950 Coquille grid squad, captained by Len Scolari, completed a record of which it can justly feel proud. BACK ROW (left to right): D. Lcird, E. Howe, D.

TRACK With only five returning lettermen from last year’s track squad, Coach Spike Leslie gathered all the promising track men and molded an inexperienced but eager track team. The Red Devils opened the 51 season by finishing in last place in a triangular meet with Roseburg and Myrtle Point. 1 he Coquille lads again finished last in the annual Coquille Relays. Some of the boys did well in individual events, but there wasn’t enough experience on the squad. Coquille was well represented at the Hayward Relays in Eugene, by Keith Parry, Ed Howe, Larrv Wilson, Rod Noah, Gerard Jueb, Len Scolari, and Bob Pingel-ton. The “51” squad was made up on veterans Keith Parry, R xl Noah, Ed Howe, Bob Pingclton, and Len Scolari. Newcomers to the sport were Bill Willard, Bob Rowland, Pete Harvey, Bob Groves, Gerald Danielson, Frank Christenson, Ed Atkinson, Jim Hollenbeak, Fritz Peterson, and Marvin Byrd. These boys did a very fine job throughout the season and the student body of Coquille High School is justly proud of the Red Devil Track men. INTRAMURAL SPORTS rhe boys’ Intramural League was headed this year by President Larrv Wilson, Secretary Bob Pingleton, 1 reasurer Bob Christenson, Fall Chairman Sam Dun can, Winter Chairman Bob Christenson, and Spring Chairman Gerard Jeub. Fabian Nelson was the faculty advisor. I he League was very active, and it organized a number of sports. The teams in the League were evenly matched making the competition very keen. Each class tried hard lor the class plaque which is awarded each year to the class earning the greatest number of points throughout the year. As this book goes to press the Junior class is leading the held, having won first place in three of the major sports of the year. The Juniors have won first place in soccer, basketball. and volleyball. I he Senior class is a close second, having won table tennis and placing second in numerous other sports. Softball and the Intramural track meet are still in the future, and after the running ol the two the standings for the class may be changed. Intramural League Officers: Sam Duncan, Fall Chairman; Gerard Jeub, Spring Chairman; Bob Pingleton, Treasurer; Larry Wilson, President.

The League has given several successful dances this year and has sold candy bars at the basketball games. The profits from the dances and candy bar sales went mostly for medals and the Intramural banquet. Each year the League chooses an outstanding Intramural athlete and at the banquet he is presented the Athlete-of-the-Year award. At this time the athlete ol the year has not been chosen. Pcpsters chosen at the close of their junior year for the ’50-’51 athletic season were Gay Cedarquist, Marilyn Atkinson, Dian Buell, Donna Mast, Corkie Horton, and Jo Ann Newton. These six girls were chosen by the student body near the end of their junior year. Requirements were a 3.5 grade average and senior standing during the term as pepster. Pepster outfits for the ’50 51 season were white sweaters with a “Devils” emblem and each pepster’s name in chenille on her shoulder, and white skirts with red pleats. 1 hey had reversible red jackets with a “CHS” emblem on them. During the rainv football season they wore clear plastic rain coats and boots. PEPSTERS PEPSTERS (Left to right): Corkie Horton, Gay Cedarquist, Jo Anne Newton, Donna Most, Marilyn Atkinson, Dian Buell. Elected to hold positions as yell leaders lor the 1950-1951 terms were Kav Simmons, Mary Ann 1 homas, and Velita Batty. Through great competition, these three came out the victors and began the term with a bang. These peppy lasses chose red skirts with white kick pleats, white sweaters, red ties, and white shoes lor the football season. Basketball season found them with a slightly new twist in uniforms, as the center yell leader wore white pedal-pushers and acrobatics were added to the routines. A yell contest was sponsored by the veil leaders to round up new basketball yells for the games. Three pep assemblies were used in which to present the yells to the student body after which they voted on their favorite two. The winners were presented small prizes. Two dances, one at Christmas and the other a valentine dance, were sponsored by the Yell leaders and Pcpsters combined and proved to lx huge successes.
