Kennedy chairman Under the chairmanship of Mr. George Howe, the Coquille Board of Education acts as laison between the citizens of Coquille and our administrators. Our school board holds the responsibility of formulating school policies and upholding the educational welfare tff jhe youth of the community. The board meets once a month, but often special meetings are held in order to work out the many problems facing the schools of the district. With the steadily increasing enrollment in our public schools, our district voted in favor of the proposed White Cloud elementary school, which is expected to be ready for use in the fall of 1 956. This placed an added load onto the board’s schedule and also made even more apparent the need of future enlargement of our high school. The school board is composed of five Coquille citizens who, in a public election, are chosen to hold their position for five years. In his fifth year, a member automatically chairman of the group.

U. of Portland General Science, Biology, J.V. Basketball Coach This year's faculty was composed of men and women who have done much for the benefit of Coquille High School and its student body. Our twenty-two teachers have taken part in more than their share of activities. This interest was shown in one of our funniest pep assemblies which was given in early December by our instructors, dressing in their own original costumes and playing instruments. The gigantic school carnival, held in March 9 in our building, was primarily instigated by our faculty with hopes of building the student body's financial status and of boosting the lagging school spirit by cooperation promotion. Booths sponsored by all classes and organizations lined the hallways and boys' gym with a variety show providing time-out entertainment. Mrs. Helen Hollensted B. S.

Many teachers also took the part of class advisors, advi sors of organizations, and class counselors. They made sure that the meetings and activities of the group ran smoothly and that the students under their counsel had all the advice and guidance needed. One of the social activities in which our teachers participated was a semi-annual potluck and picnic held in the fall and again in the spring. They also gathered at the beginning of the school year for the annual “citizen meets teacher potluck sponsored by the Coquille Women's Club. One night a month was put aside to discuss as a group the problems arising in our school. Attending the Parent-Teacher Association meetings and the after-school faculty assemblies were, of course, always a must.

Our student council is composed of six officers elected by the student body, and the president or representative from each class and school organization. Also, there is a constitutional committee consisting of two non-council students, two non-council faculty members, the student body president, and the school principal. This committee vetoes or passes any suggested change in the constitution of Coquille High School. The constitution of every school organization must meet the approval of this group before being officially accepted by the school. The purpose of the council is to work with and to organize all clubs and activity groups. This year it has organized the “Shutterbugs , or Camera Club, and has also voted to organize a Defense Committee of five or six which would be in charge of fire drills, air raids, and so forth. Each month the council submits a written report to each organization and each faculty member which give the financial status of the group. A student council member has the responsibility of being a good citizen at all times, so as to be an example to his fellow students.

And now as we finish our final year, the same feeling overcomes us as we turn toward our future life, our independence finally our own. Will we succeed or fail? We have come to the fork in our life's road. Which is the path to take? Our decisions will be based on our high school experiences. Remember our wonderful initiation as lowly Frosh? Led by Gene Simpson that year, we became known as the class that would keep the school rolling. Sophomore Slump did not apply to Jack Liles during his reign at the head of the class during our second year. We honored the freshmen with the traditional Freshmen Hop, and loaded up with money-making projects to put on The Desert Song, theme of our Junior Prom. Tom Creager, our president in our first year as upperclassmen, saw that we received our perfect class rings, sold hot dogs and pop by the ton at all the football games, and presented The Clutching Claw, as our junior class play. LeRoy Ames presided over our class as we became seniors. Under the able advisorship of Mr. Townsend and Miss Leisure. The school was ours; its reputation was based on our examples as the school's leaders. In every activity and organization we seniors felt the responsibility expected of us. Our senior play Green Valley was presented January 12 and 13 to a very large student body and public audiences. Our long-awaited senior ball on April 14 was thought to be the most beautiful ever. For a completely thrilling two days, many of us seniors spent April 21 and 22 on our future college campus for the Colleges traditional Senior Weekend. Food, swimming, and the excitement of no school was the atmosphere of the annual senior picnic on May 16. Baccalaureatte on May 22 and Commencement, our final official moment in our high school, Thursday, May 31, now faces us. We realize, now that our high school days are over; days so often recalled as the happiest time of one's life. We are sad to leave our school, friends maybe never to meet again, our teachers who have so patiently worked with us these-four years. Y© we feel the excitement of anticipation of the future; and know that we are prepared. For twelve years we have been educating ourselves toward this goal and because of this guaranteed experience we feel confident, as we Coquille High School graduates travel over the pathways of the world, assuring our chosen positions, that we will succeed as educated Americans.

Karen Henninger treasurer Upperclassmen! And we Juniors let no one forget about us. We felt the heavier weight of responsibilities suddenly loaded onto us and the greater accomplishments expected of us, as we began our trek along the path of the two years facing us. Miss Kurle and Mr. Ledbetter, our class advi sors, called the year’s first meeting for the nominating of class officers. The noon election held at the Juniors' own polling station found Roady, in key position as President of the junior class. The ratio three to one, with the girls dominating the opposite sex, filled the remaining official seats, as Janet Bernheisel became vice-president. Jay Mackie, secretary; Karen Henninger, treasurer; Lola Fisk, student council representative. As brand-new third year men, we couldn’t wait to start on Junior Prom plans, yet the dance was not scheduled until May 12. We discovered, however, that this extra time made it possible for us to carry on even more money-making projects than expected. These were headed by the monetary gains of the concession booths operated by our class when the fans found their way through the streets of Coquille to our football field. This we increased with dollars from Junior-sponsored after-game dances and found our class to be in perfect financial shape for the Prom. The first of the new year brought the delivery of our long-anticipated gold class rings. This added attraction made our upper class position official. After more than two months of nightly rehearsals, “The Cannibal Queen,” our three-act Junior play was presented to the student body and the public April 5th and 6th. Mr. Kittredge, our speech instructor, directed the cast of 1 3 juniors in the hilarious farce-comedy. Decorating for the senior’s baccalaureate service was the final activity of our class as juniors. It brought into our thoughts the following year when we, as seniors, would lead the student body in each street of its educational highway. This responsibility we have been training for during the last three years and now that duty is ours.

The returns from our flocking to the polls at the year’s beginning found Tom Davis chosen by us classmates as the man to carry out our decisions during the year. Tom Finley backed up the efforts of the president as he played the position of vice-president. The three remaining offices were filled by Anne Creager, secretary; Lois Ames, treasurer; Peggy Roten, student body representative. Not wanting a sudden attack of money problems knocking us out in our junior year, we immediately fell to candy selling and dance sponsoring. Making up the majority of the teams, we were well represented in both junior varsity football and basketball, readying ourselves for varsity play. Mr. Twohy and Mrs. Beecher, our class advisors, guided us toward a strong foundation as we took part in band, choir, speech, and organizational activities. We realized the importance of learning the ropes of our school government and problems and looked forward to our upperclassmen years when we would put our ideas into effect and later, would use this added experience in assuming our positions as citizens on the streets of the world. lexander, Karen Ames, Lois � ck, Patricia Brown, Richard ochran, Sharon Creager, Anne 3rls, Bonnie Edgmon, Lorretta luke, Claudia Gaslin, Jean •eene, John Griffith, Sandra ills, Gifford Hill, Richard Armstrong, Patsy By les, Wi lliam Curtis, Dennis E II is, James George, Aryls Haddix, William Hodge, Junior Ashenfelter, Alice Carrillo, Stanley Dav is, Thomas Finley, Thomas Glaze brook, Violet Hampton, Etta Holland, Dale Ashenfelter, Suzanne Chesebro, June Davison, Dorothy F isher, Patsy Gosline, Judy Hancock, Richard Howerton, Jack Baker, George Baker, Judy Christenson, Peter Clark, Phillip Davison, Phyllis Dieu, Gary Fisk, Thelma Flood, Curtis Grant, John Greve, Carol Harsh, Jimmy Hatcher, Linda Hudson, Gordon Humbert, Clinton Hunt, Martha Irwin, Calvin Korn, David Liday, Karon Loomis, Sandra McKolvey, Judy McMullen, Gary Hurst, Lowe 11 Kenyon, Melva Lawhorn, Sharon Livermore, Penne Lynn, Lorna McKinney, Gary Matney, E Ilen No wonder, girls1!

Arnold Cullum president JoAnn Sergeant vice-president Margie Young treasurer Patricia Finley secretary Myrna Pemberton student council representative New activities, the thrill of meeting new faces, and the feeling of entering a new world all confronted us as the short journey down the streets and highways led us from the junior high school to the senior high school. Yet, the strangeness of this new life made us question the future of the next four years. How well could we carry out the responsibilities challenging us? A feeling of belonging came over us after our initiation in the fall. High heels, dresses, hats, tennis shoes, jeans, and messy htiir soon found themselves occupying the opposite sex. Our formal welcome into Coquille High School came that night when the sophomores honored us at the annual Freshmen Hop. Class elections entered the picture and after class meetings and balloting, Arnold Cullum, Arky,” emerged as our class p r e s i d en t. JoAnne Sergeant was elected as our vice-president, Pattie Finley as secretary, and Margie Young as our treasurer. Our representative to the student council became Myrna Pemberton. Mr. Barnett and Mr. Greig advi sed us during the year in our class projects and future plans. Spring came and with it we loaded into buses for ourtrip to plant trees. In the past, Coquille High School students have planted thousands of trees—so we, too built for the future. Football season found one of our classmates covering the highways of the county and state as a member of the varsity squad. Basketball games with our boys taking part were fun too. We entered our share of extra-curricular activities, but our teachers wouldn’t let us forget our subjects. As we look over the past year, memories bring our classes, after-game dances, plays, and the friendships with those around us even closer. The summer seems wonderful and long; yet we keep in mind the next fall when we will again travel the streets of our city on the way to our second year in our new career in high school. We will be sophomores.

Floods and semester exams almost overcame the plans for the winter tapping of new National Honor Society members. Originally set for the Christmas program matinee, the ceremony was postponed, red roses and all, until the February sixth student body meeting. With the help of Gordon Jones, vice-pres.; Janet Swinney, sec.; Ed Stark, treas.; and Barbara Swindall, student council prexy John Geaney presided at the initiation of the six new junior and senior members and last year’s six probationary members, which was held February fifteenth.

It is under the supervision of Mrs. Harriett Osika and exists for the purpose of promoting the welfare and care of the general interests of the girls, and to establish a mutual friendship among all. Every third Friday of each month the Girls' League council of elected and appointed officers meets to outline projects, and the regular meeting is held on the fourth Friday of each month. The events of this year have included the Sister Plan and party, the annual Twirp Season, a Girl of the Month program, candy sales, officer installation, and Mother's Tea. The Sister Plan and the Girl of the Month program were new this year with the former being a plan whereby each freshman girl had a senior girl as a counselor and friend, and each sophomore girl had a junior girl. A party was held the evening of October fourth in the Devils' Den honoring the Little Sisters. Our annual Twirp Season sent into action the week of October 17th. The girls were required to open doors, carry books, and in other ways slave for the boys, plus taking them to a noon movie on Thursday, and inviting them to the Twirp Dance Friday night. The queen and her court were drawn by President Karen Slate at the dance: Queen Norma Jean Dalrymple and Princesses Dannia Brown, senior; Barbara Dufour, junior; lola Sherwood, sophomore; Patty Finley, freshman. On a January afternoon an impressive candlelight service was held in the Devils' Den for the in stallation of the 1956 officers, with the outgoing officers officiating. Then, May 10th the lovely Mothers' Tea was held once again, also in the Devils' Den. With the theme of the affair being In the Good Old Summertime, the home economics class presented their annual style show under the direction of Mrs. Helen Hollensted.

Packed full of activities for FHA president Shirley Hancock and her cabinet was the month of August when they journeyed to Manzanita Beach for a three-day stay with Mrs. Hollensted to plan the program for the coming year. Commencing with September the group had a chili feed for all prospective FHA members. On October 22, Coquille's FHA was responsible for the managing and hosting of the organization's district meeting. Pre-Christmas candy sales became a big item and the annual family night, normally held during the Christmas season, was postponed until January 31 because of the flood. February brought great excitement when Lola Fi sk and Faye J ohn son represented C o q u i I I e at the state convention in Corvallis. During the meeting Lola was chosen vice-president of projects. With the March rains came the annual Cotton and Cord Dance evolving around an Easter theme. The girls asked the boys and all dressed gaily in their new cotton dresses and shirts. With the coming of May came the annual picnic. The food and the fun were fabulous, but oh, the sunburns!

In the yellow glow of the dark room, members spent the winter months developing, printing and experimenting with the different acids and developers — often resulting in spotted clothes and burned fingers. A dance was held with plans to use the profits to purchase camera equipment. In February they concentrated on taking pictures to enter in the school photography contest. All winning pictures were entered in the national high school contest. The photography club was inaugurated with hopes of creating an interest in photography among students and faculty and to provide them with a useful, as well as interesting extra-curricular activity.

Gold pins were presented to all and Mr. Roy Paul Nelson of the U. of 0. Journalism Faculty talked on “Life as a Public Relations Man. To be asked to join this Journalistic Honorary for High School students was quite stupendous in itself, as members have to be in the upper one third of their class, be an upper-classman, and have been avid workers on a high school publication; but when leaders such as Jo Anne Stonecypher, pres.; Janet Swinney, sec.; Karen Mauney, Student Council Rep.; Barbara Swindall, and Vonda Wester were awaiting for them...! Well, can you blame them for working hard? On February 23rd, more lucky students were chosen as probationary members of the organization, as they had been faithful workers of the LAUREL and DEVILS' TORCH. Initiated in the spring, the upperclassmen of this group felt very honored indeed! The underclassmen were made to wait until the year of 1956-57 before joining the organization.

Throughout the year you probably ran into a few students that you thought about seriously, wondering wether or not they were sane. The only things that these poor souls thought about were Laurel, Laurel, and more Laurel! At the beginning of school, the staff, under the direction of Mr. Mohn, planned on having a book with 104 pages. But as the year traveled on, it was discovered that the little pink cloud was slowly turning into mist, and that money was not very easy to obtain! Pages were omitted but seventeen of the remaining ones were done in a duotone process which added color and variety to the book. The use of glossy paper and an increase in headlines and body type size also helped to make them happier! Holding a dance in conjunction with the Shutterbugs in December, funds were obtained to purchase camera equipment which really proved to be a great asset to the year book.

Big red and white striped candy canes surrounded the boys’ gym balcony with multi-colored balloons streaming out of them. A net, full of these balloons hung from the center and was dropped during the dance followed by a mad scramble for the souveniers. Dancing to the music of the Tanglenotes the ball began at nine with the grand march led by the senior class officers. During intermission the boys’ quartet entertained with “Bulldog,” “I Wish I Were Single Again,” and “Climbin’ Up The Mountain Children.” Mr. Clyde Townsend then introduced the seven senior girls chosen for the May Festival Court. Concluding the program was the presentation of gifts from the class to their class advisors, Mr. Townsend and Mrs. Elva Leisure. Present at the ball were many parents of the seniors and teachers from various schools all invited by special class invitations. Candlelight and gumdrop trees decorate the tables as two teachers and their wives take time out for cookies and punch. All classes get into the act as the freshmen and juniors take part in the opening march. The many-colored decorations for the ball were added to by the girls beautiful billowy spring formals. Mrs. Clarence Osika, high school librarian, and Mr. Osika, former CHS principal, share in the evening's festivities. Competition is the keynote of our country's progress. The athletic program in our school system presents competition to the youth in its true form, combining with it good sportsmanship and physical training. The outcome of such an experience is the creation of an individual aware of the nation’s dependence on the freedom of competion and a.ware of his responsibility in the survival of such an institution. ml devils win lliiril 6-a2 crown Football mentor Spike Leslie os assistant Shrine game coach talks over team chances with Shrine all-star Howard Waggoner and alternate Duane Sherwood.

COQUILLE 26 - SUTHERLIN 6 Coquille's Red Devils showed their might agsinst the Sutherlin Bulldogs and won their first game, and first district encounter by a score of 26 to 6. Not until the second quarter did either team make a score. Coquille's Woody Lovelace made the first touchdown of the game with a 72 yard run. The extra point was tried and made. Just at the end of the half Sutherlin came charging back with their first and last touchdown of the game. The half ended 7-6 for Coquille. The third quarter brought forth only one TD, but the fourth quarter put the game in Coquille� s hands with two more. Final score 26 6 Coquille. CCQUI LLE 0-MARSHFIELD 27 Coquille's fighting Red Devils carried the fight to Marshfield but the Pirates proved to be too much for the Devils, as they came out on the short end of the score of 27-0. The boys were determined not to be trampled and held the Pirates to one touchdown each in the first two quarters, and no touchdowns in the third. The most action came in the fourth when Marshfield came forth with two more TDs. Although the game went to the Pirates the Devils put up an excellent fight in which several close attempts to touchdowns were made. Just because Coquille had the first shut-out of 23 games didn't mean that the boys were behind in everything, rather they were way ahead of Marshfield in the percentage of passes, which were thrown and completed! COQUILLE 32- REEDSPORT 18 The dedication of the new grandstand, which was constructed under the guidance of the Coquille Lions Club, was witnessed by over 1,000 Red Devil fans who saw an exciting game with Reedsport. Again Coquille was the first to score, but not until the second quarter, when Lester Hubbard crashed through for a touchdown. With the added point of the extra kick the score stood 7-0, but by the end of the half Coquille led by only one point. The third quarter proved to be the most interesting when first Reedsport took the lead, followed by Coquille, then back again. The last touchdown, made by an 80 yard run put the Braves ahead 18-13. But the Red Devils were not finished. Bob Scott plunged over the goal line to again put Coquille ahead by one point. The rest of the quarter was occupied by two more touchdowns for Coquille, making the final score 32-18. COQUILLE 20 - NORTH BEND 13 The highly ranked North Bend Bulldogs had quite a spill when they met with the Red Devils and came out on the losing end of a 20-13 score. The first quarter looked qui te different from the second half as the Bulldogs with three plays had their first touchdown. The ball went to Coquille but not for long as the Bulldogs went on another charge for their second TD. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful and the score stood 13-0, North Bend. Again the ball went to Coquille, but they just couldn't keep hold of it. During the second half the Devil s decided that enough was enough and out they came with a touchdown closely following the half. The kick was no good and the fccore was 13-6. There were hopes of a Devil comeback, but the Bulldogs snatched the ball and almost made another touchdown. Again the Devils tried, but couldn't quite make it. They lost the ball, but recovered it on the next play. This time the Devils made it over. With the extra point, the score was tied 13 all. Just into the fourth quarter Coquille scored once more. The kick was good and they were out ohead. With The Devils running out the clock, the game ended with Coquille as the victors. Coquille man pounces hard for a tackle with aid coming fast from the rear. CCQUILLE 20-DOUGLAS 0 Try as hard as they could, the Douglas Trogens just couldn’t overcome the mighty Devils, even though during the first quarter each team held the other from scoring. Not until the second quarter did the Devils come forth, with Tom Creager crossing the goal. The point after touchdown was good. Then Duane Sherwood went through the middle and the extra point was made. The remaining part of the game was a see-saw battle with neither team sc oring. Final score, 20-0 for Coquille. COQUILLE 13-BANDON 12 Without the extra point, Coquille may not have pulled through the Bandon game. The game began in the Tiger’s hands but soon the Devils gat the ball and racked up yardage to get to the 2 yard line, but were penalized and sent back to the 15. In 2 plays Bob Scott went over, making the score 6-0. Bandon started their drive down the field and without too much trouble made their first touchdown. Not making the extra point the score was tied at 6-6. The Tigers tried to kee p hold of the ball, but Coquil le was determined to get it. Taking possession, the Devils worked it down field. In need of a first down, John Geaney made a handoff to Sherwood, who found a beautiful hole and went across. Jack Liles’ kick was good and Coquille led by 6 points; 13-6. Both teamskept losing the ball but finally the Tigers took over and in three plays the Tigers went over. Tne try for the point failed and the score stood with only minutes left Coquille 13, Bandon 12. Coquille took possession of the ball-running out the final minutes. COQUILLE 19-MYRTLE CREEK 0 Coquille clinched the sub-district 6A-2football crown with a 19-0 win over Myrtle Creek. The first touchdown for Coquille come shortly after the start of the game. It took only three plays for Bob Scott to run around left end and with the making of the extra point the score stood at 7-0. Holding the Vikings to their own territory, the Devils again received the ball and plunged forward for the second touchdown. But the third didn’t come so easy. The ball was lost several times by both teams before Lester Hubbard could crash through for the last touchdown. During the second half neither team seemed to be able to change the score, so the game ended with the Devils winning the sub-district crown by a score of 19-0. COQUILLE 26 -MYRTLE POINT 0 Coquille kept their district game slate clean ending the regular season by a win over Myrtle Point. Receiving the kick-off the Devils made a first down on the Myrtle Point 32; and following a 15 yard penalty against the Bob Cats, Bob Scott moved the ball to the 10 yard line. Duane Sherwood was over in only three more plays. Jack Liles’ kick was good and Coquille had a 7-0 lead. Forcing the Bobcats to kick Coquille fumbled and MP recovered just as the second quarter started. Coquille recovered on downs and in four plays Les Hubbard went over for a TD. Opening the second half a revitalized Bobcat team took to the field, but a MP fumble was recovered by Woody Lovelace. .Gaining a first down, the Red Devils used the recovery as spark for their third TD. After two exchanges the Bobcats started to roll, but they lost the ball as Red Devil defenses stiffened. A pass from Tom Creager to Hubbard was good for another TD. Liles’ kick was good with the Red Devils victors 26-0. Coquille comes in quickly for a tackle as North Bend goes high for the ball. COQUILLE 20-PHOENIX 20 More first downs and yardage gave the coquille Red Devils the District 6-A2 grid crown in a tingling game with Phoenix that ended in a 20-20 tie. Phoenix received the ball first, but soon had to give it up. Three plays after Coquille got the ball Duane Sherwood was racing down the field for the first touchdown. Jock Liles kick was good, and the Devils were seven points ahead. With the ball on their own 29, Phoenix started a stupendous drive which went to the Coquille six but was stopped there. Coquille took over on downs, but the ball was intercepted on a pass. The next play found Phoenix across the goal, and with the extra point good, a tie score of 7-7. The Devils were determined not to be scored upon and they started another charge down the field. Without too much effort the Devils again cross the goal line to put them ahead. The beginning of the third quarter followed the same trial as the second as Sherwood plunged through for the touchdown and Liles kick was good to make it 20-7. The Devils kept pushing but Phoenix was pushing just as hard and came through with their second touchdown. The kick was good and Phoenix trailed by only six points. The ball was lost by both teams for awhile until the Pirates took over and again tried for a score. They made the touchdown but not the extra point which made the score in the last of the fourth quarter, 20-20. The Devils then kept possession of the ball and won the game with 318 yards to Phoenix 251. COQUILLE 0-JUNCTION CITY 0 The Coquille Red Devils football season came to on abrupt end when snow, and mud hindered both the Junction City Tigers and the Devils from making any score. Junction City received the boll, but Coquille took it away. On down the field, they pressed, but they couldn't make the needed first down and the ball went to the Tigers. The whole first half was a close battle, which neither team come out ahead. Each time that one team would get in the danger zone, the opposing team would force them to kick. Finally at the beginning of the third quarter the game began to break, and it looked like it was going to break for Coquille. But as before he Red Devils just couldn't seem to get that extra push to get the ball over the goal line. After the fourth quarter the Devils never really got their hands on the ball again, but even though the Tiger's got several tremendous breaks, the Devils kept them out of the danger zone. Although the Rnal score was 0-0 the Junction City Tigers won thegame on yardage but three different times the Devils almost upset the game.

Coach Curt Jarvis has very successfully completed his third year as head basketball coach of Coquille High by constructing a team of all-state caliber. The boys have worked extra hard under the expert guidance of the coach, and this work has paid off in the winning of third place in the state A-2 tournament by Coquille. Don Nelson was chosen to be one of the five boys on the first A-2 all state team. Don completed his first and last year of basketball for the Red Devi Is this year as he transfered to Coquille only last spring. Jack Liles, who was selected to be a second-team star, has played for Coquille all through high school. Showing good sportsmanship always, Jack was team captain this year. Crater controls the jumpball as the final period in the crucial opening battle for the district championship commences. Jack Liles, team captain, accepts for the school the A-2 third place trophy with a hand-shake and a big grin. 1. First Coquille team to place in the State Tournament. 2.

Most points scored by a Coquille team in a season. 1590 points - 54.8 average A gleeful Coquille team carries a very happy coach off the floor after defeating the St. Francis quintet for third place in the state A-2 tourney. Reedsport started the Red Devil season off to a bad start by defeating the Red Devils 55-50. Coquille was not to be underestimated and as the team gained in experience prospects for a winning season appeared. The end of the season brought many close games. Each one of the last eight games that were played had to be won, for each one brought the Red Devils closer to the District Championship. Vieing for the 6A-2 championship with Coquille were such standout teams as Myrtle Creek, Sutherlin, and Douglas. Each proved tough competition and many a game was won with 5:, 3:, and very often only 2: minutes left to play. The big opposition for Coquille was Myrtle Creek and Douglas. As the season drew to a close, the Red Devils began to lose hope. Sutherlin defeated Myrtle Creek, thus giving Myrtle Creek two losses, throwing Coquille and Myrtle Creek into a tie. The playoff game was played at Roseburg and was another last minute rally. Behind all the way, and with 2: minutes left to play, LeRoy Sargent sparked the team, and the Red Devils came through 6A-2 Champions. PLAYOFF GAMES: Crater of Central Point, winner of the 5A-2 District, and the Red Devils went into a 2-out-of-3 game playoff. The first game was at Coquille, with Crater going home minus the victory. The Red Devils weren’t as lucky Saturday night as each team became victorious on his own floor. Tuesday night was the big game being played off at Crater. The Devils were not to be denied and we were State A-2 Tournament bound! The first State Tournament game was Monday afternoon with the Red Devils pitted against Molalla. Molalla was not to be defeated; Victorious over their arch rival Sandy 47-45, they, too were out t o win. Coquille had their first chance-their first opportunity in 22 years for the playoff—who would emerge the winner? 8. Winner of first District A-2 Championship.

Jack, followed closely by Coquille’s Leroy Sargent, moves down the floor to outfox the Molalla five. Howard and Don move in on a grimacing Molalla player, as Leroy Ames shouts his approval. Coquille then moved into the Winner’s Bracket play ing St. Helens Tuesday night. St. Helens was the strongest contender in the Tournament. The Red Devils played excellent ball, but proved no match for the Lions. The sharp shooting of St. Helens all stater Marsh proved the difference. At the final buzzer, the score stood 64-47 in favor of the Lions. This placed Ontario and St. Helens cn deck for 1st place with Coquille and St. Francis of Eugene playing for 3rd place. Wednesday night brought Coquille her last chance with 3rd place at stake. During the first two periods, it looked as though Coquille was going down to defeat, but during the 3rd and 4th quarters the team began to score. They finally lowered the margin of 1 3 and as in the past the final minutes told the story —free throws made in the last 13 seconds made the final score 57-56 in Coquille’s favor. The championship game then won by St. Helens seemed only an anti-climax. Team captain Jack Liles received the Trophy for third place and a Sportsmanship plaque given to all the schools for receiving more than 85 Sportsmanship points. After awarding St. Helens with the 1st place award, the officals presented the Lions with the Bracket Board on which the Tournament games were recorded. Ontario wJs given the Runner-up or 2nd place Trophy. Named to the Al 1-State Teams were two players from the Red Devil Squad; Don Nelson was on the first or “Dream Team” and Jack Liles on the second team. With the presentations and awards the first State A-2 Basketball Tournament closed, and along with it the closing of the 1956 Basketball season at CHS. The season was great, the games were great, the team was the greatest, and the Red Devils’ of 1956 will long be remembered. devil d ark men slago large turnout Myrtle Point roars over the finish line as Tom Creager and Duane Sherwood take a second and fourth place for the Devil trackmen. Spurred on by previous successes in other sports programs this year, CoquilleHigh School witnessed the largest track turnout in many seasons. Because of the surprising number of underclassmen showing up for daily track workout, a Junior Varsity squad was instigated for the first time. Under the guidance of track coach Clyde Townsend and assistant mentor “Spike” Leslie, Coquille went into its first competition of the season as they participated in the Spike Leslie Relays in North Bend on Saturday, April II. Myrtle Point made a trip to Coquille April 18 for an after-school practice meet at which Coquille took a first in the discus and one in the javelin. The following Saturday was the North Bend Invitational which conflicted with the state educational centers’ senior weekend, keeping the majority of the trackmen from attending. The first three weekends in May were taken up with the sub-district meet in Roseburg, the district meet in Ashland, and the final state meet in Corvallis.

Leading the Junior Varsity in all their games was Mr. Cliff Millen, coach. Mr. Millen has been the J.V. football mentor for five years, and is a grwduate of Lewis and Clark. A new member of the faculty and coaching staff is Mr. Paul Greig. He graduated from the University of Portland in 1951. Previously he coached and taught at Cave, Oregon. The J.V. football record was not impressive this year, losing all five games. Their first game was against the Gold Beach Varsity. Although the boys tried very hard, they just weren't able to buck the opposing team, and the end of the game brought the score 20-7 with Gold Beach on top. Even though the final score favored Gold Beach, Coquille, led offensively by Darrell Sanders and Weldon Remaly, showed lots of hope for tuture games, where they would con- Next they played Myrtle Point there. Myrtle Point beat them 25-0 to send the boys home with their second loss. North Bend was next on the slate, and their hopes were again dashed as they lost their third game 13-7. Thehalftime score was 7-0, but the J.V. 's just couldn’t stop North Bend, so again they fell. Coquille’s arch rival, Marshfield, matched the North Bend 13-7, when the little Devils travelled to Marshfield one afternoon. Although the Junior Varsity improved and gained valuable experience in this game, they just didn’t prove to be good enough to overcome the strong Marshfield team. Weldon Remaly made a spectacular run of 9 5 yards for a touchdown but it was called back because of an off-sides penalty.

BASKETBALL SCORES Coquille’s Junior Red Devils ended the '56 basketball season with a 5 won-11 loss record. According to Mr. Paul Greig, coach, the boys gained much knowledge of the fundamentals of basketball even in the games that were lost. The main purpose of the junior varsity team is to give the boys a better background for varsity ball playing in the junior and senior years. Throughout basketball season most of the boys’ evenings were spent in the gym practicing for the hard fought games each week-end. The future basketball games depend on these J.V. boys and their managers, who have put out so much time with the intention of building them into promising future potential.

Many chances to exhibit skills were offered by the Girl’s Athletic Association under the direction of Miss Betty Jean Waite. By participating in various sports offered in the intramural program through-out the year, numerous girls discovered that they were able to obtain much enjoyment from such activities. Teams were selected in September which played together the entire year. Tournaments of Volley Ball, Badmitton, Ping-Pong, and Basketball were held and the lucky team who came to the finish with the most points was awarded a trophy with the names of the team players engraved on it. All girls who obtain fifty or more points in intramural are asked to join this group. Also, awards are given to upperclassmen who have gained admittance and go on to continue their intramural careers. Under the leadership of Norma Jean Dalrymple, president; Shirley Hancock, vice-president; Jeanette Johnson, secretary; Coralene Cochran, treasurer; Dorothy Davidson, athletic manager; and Joan Johnson, sargeant-at-arms; the group sponsored an after game dance and planned the annual GAA picnic.

In co-operation with the rally squad, the club helped to stimulate school spirit throughout the year. The club was under the direction of Miss Betty Waite. She was assisted by the officers of the group, Janet Swinney, President; Mickey Jewell, Vice-president; Norma Jean Dalrymple, Secretary-Treasurer; and Coraleen Cochran, Representative to the Student Council. Membership was open to all girls showing good sportsmanship and school spirit. All girls wishing to try out for membership on the rally squad must be a member in good standing of the Pep Club. Initiation of members was held at the beginning of the year at a pep rally held before our first football game. The girls formed a serpentine and with members of the student body participating, wound through the streets of Coquille. At a bon fire rally held at the school ground after the serpentine was completed, the Bulldog was burned in effigy. Norma Jean, Janet, Mickey and Coralene show their enthusiasm and good spirits reflected by their well-organized rooting section.

One night a week was spent working on the new peppy routines, different from any previous year: the pepsters and yell leaders planning together on several yells and Coquille High. Football season found the girls in red sweaters and pleated skirts, with white bucks and a white velvet ribbon worn in their hair. Pom-poms for this outdoor season were red and white. Changing to all white uniforms in the same style for basketball, the group used the same emblems with a devil characterizing all of them. A switch from the white bucks to a pair of red and white flats was made plus a red velvet hair ribbon. Greatest fun of the year were the many pep assembl ies held by the squad for which they originated some hilarious skits. Ending the football seas ai was the overnight taken by the girls in Eugene after the Junction City game. In the spring came the dreamed of finale to the basketball months—a chance in the state A-W tournament in Salem. The eleven girls plus many students made the trip and remained for the entire three days. Closing the wonderful year was the annual election of a new Rally Squad to keep Coquille’s spirit high for another year.

Where did it all come from? If you had wandered past the music department anytime this past year, you would have known. This fall the band did a lot of traveling. A long trip was made to Eugene for the Junction City -Coquille football game. On this trip they traveled over quite a bit of the Oregon highways and roads. At all the football games Mr. Carrol Nickels, their director, saw that the bandmen had choice seats. They didn’t attend many basketball games as that responsibility was shared with the Prep Band. They in the Concert Band did something new this year. During their class time a series of broadcasts were made on tape and were broadcast over Radio station KWRO. Different students did the announcing for each of the programs presented. The main event of the year was the Spring Concert in March.

This was the annual affair for Southwestern Oregon’s music departments during the first full week in May. One of the first trips taken over Oregon’s highways was the one to Coos Bay to the Shrine Game. In the afternoon the bands of the county participated in a parade and later were individually introduced in the pre-game ceremonies at the Marshfield Stadium before the Shrine game.

It was first organized for a performance at a Minstrel Show a few years ago. Since the students were interested in an extra curricular group of this sort it has stayed and continues to thrive. When school began this year, the Devilaires discovered that with graduation in ’55 they had lost ten key members. The fall season was therefore spent in reorganization. The Devilaries have made various appearances, such as the School Carnival. They also made a very nice showing at the Spring Band Concert. Other highlights of the year were their performances at different southwestern Oregon Schools for assemblies. Last year they tried something new: making records from recordings of various performances which included the District Honor Band with guest artist Raphael Mendez, along with the regular Devilaire group.

For the first time the members of the Prep Band were able to handle pep assemblies unassisted and did a splendid job. With only a few exceptions they played for all of them. They also were seen as well as heard at a few basketball games. The Prep Band has two purposes. The first one is to teach the students better means of controlling their instruments and the second is to give them a musical foundation to prepare them for the Concert Band.

Why it's the A Cappella Choir. They were rehearsing for a program to be presented before a local civic group. The choir made many appearances at school func-for civic groups and various other gatherings. The A Cappalla Choir is the only selective group of the three choral organizations. The members are selected each year from Boys' Glee and Girls' Glee by competitive try-outs. Singing in the various local churches was one of the many plans the Choir fulfilled. The spring concert was the big event for this group in which they did a beautiful job. Another event that they took part in was the annual district vocal festival which was held this year in Reedsport. Jim ci ine was chosen president of the Choir in its first election in several years. Vice-president, Karen Slate; treasurer, Barbara Swindall; and business manager, Gerry Barrow helped in the planning of the year's activities; primarily the instigating of the Choir-sponsored concert given by the university Singers from the University of Oregon.

The end of another school year and what a successful year it was for the Boys1 Glee and Girls Glee. At the first of the year their music might have been classified as pure noise, but it didn t take long to get the cobwebs out of their vocal cords. In Boys Glee there were thirty-nine members, all boys naturally, but from the hearsay most of the girls would have enjoyed the class, too. The girls who were elected to assist president Rachel Brugnoli were vice president, Jeanette Phillips; secretary, Alice Campbell; librarians, Bonnie Earls and Bertha Weaver; reporter, Nancy Vaughn. The Boy s Glee did not elect officers this year. Since the main purpose of Boy’s Glee and Girl’s Glee is to train them for A Cappella Choir, they all perked up their ears and listened to what Mr. Hollensted had to say about the proper use of the voice. Also they listened as he taught them the mechanics of music. The annual spring concert and music festival brought to a close the best year ever for both groups. Rehearsal halts as Mr. Hollensted presents a little music appricia-tion to the group in the form of records.
