ADMINISTRATION The school board of Coquille is charged with the responsibility of providing the facilities and setting the policies for the school, and for the district. 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
