MRS. R. N CRAWFORD MR. DAN FISH Chairman School Board's Dream Fulfilled r,H. M. R. KENNEDY The prayers of many Coquille citizens have been answered with the completion of the new grade school, Jefferson. Located on White Cloud Road, it is a lovely school offering better educational facilities to Coquille youngsters. With the beginning of construction last spring, it was scheduled for use in September along with other Coquille schools, but due to material delays, it was not completed and did not open until after the Christmas holidays. When school began in January, many youth happily took their place as the first pupils of Jefferson Grade School. With Jefferson heading this year's projects, the school board, consisting of five who are elected to office for five years, has faced many problems while devoting its time and efforts for educational benefits of Coquille youth. Due to the resignation of Mr. Moorehead, Mr. George Howe was appointed to fill this vacancy for the remainder of the year, and two new members will be elected in June to suffice the board's membership.

f ' MR. RAY HUNSAKER Superintendent •a i As his first decade of work in Coquille Schools reaches its climax, we ought to think a moment about Superintendent Ray Hun-saker, the man who co-ordinates the movements of our schools and, also, the school board’s with the school district’s. Many developments in the Coquille Educational System, such as the building of the new high school and the mass transfer of high school students across the railroad tracks; the junior high student body swarming into the old high school; and then the construction of Jefferson Grade School, have come as the growing community gives equal educational benefits to all Coquille youth. Ray Hunsaker deserves much commendation, as he has worked hard and ceaselessly to better the Coquille School District. Better Education Goal of School Leaders MR. WAYNE McMURRAY Principal Completing his fourth year as principal, Wayne McMurray will long be remembered by many seniors as we leave the days of our adolescence to venture forth into the realm of adulthood. He has done his utmost to instill in us the virtue of a good and meaningful life. Spending long hours at his desk, counseling with teachers and students, and attending the many extra-curricular functions, he has been ever willing to help a student in need even in the midst of all this. Having excelled in his duties, Wayne McMurray has also become a helping friend to all of the student body. 4
