COQUILLE, OREGON 'Wtetfto'UtiC In memory of E. E. Spike Leslie, coach, teacher, and friend. For twenty years Coquille High School grew to respect and admire him as a successful teacher and coach. Not successful in just winning a game, but successful in building character and Spike's willingness to help young people. We will long remember Spike as a man who contributed so much to our school and to our students. 2 The man who co-ordinates the schools, helps choose our most efficient faculty, works with the school board and has developed a good educational system for us, is Mr. Ray Hunsaker. He deserves praise for his work in the difficult job of making our schools better for everyone, faculty and students alike. Mr. Wayne McMurray will be held in the memories of many students. He will be remembered as the kind man with a pleasant smile, who always spoke to you, was always on hand when help was needed by students or faculty, who always attended many extra-curricular activities and had a deep understanding for all. Mr. McMurray has done his utmost to lead us to a better and worthwhile life. We, the student body, appreciate all that he has done for us and consider him our best friend. Mr. RAY HUNSAKER Superintendent S Uoe fa StCuccUtottfiC Mr. McMurray cheerfully checks the work of two student helpers. 3 2WW oj £cUicati ut The members of the school board are representatives of the citizens of Coquille in their dealings with the school administrators. Their major duties are formulating school policies and providing the best facilities for the schools of Coquille. They iron out difficulties facing a new school such as Jefferson Elementary School and in doing so also consider the problems of the future. These members served well at a job which demands sacrifice of time, and the ability and courage to make a decision and stand by it. They are able to withstand unjust criticism for a thankless job that is extremely important to all of us. Mr. James Blanton Dr. M. R.

Often we, as students, are prone to take our teachers for granted. They are not just someone who gives assignments and grades our papers; but they are individuals who have chosen for their life work to train the minds, mold the characters, and develop personalities of the young people of our community, state and country. Teachers must have the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job, and the speed of Sputnik. They help us outside the classroom as well as in. Many teachers take part as class advisors, advisors of organizations, and class counselors. They help the activity which they advise to run efficiently. With eyes, that never overlook a detail, our teachers notice the mischief makers in the cafeteria line and in the halls when they are on duty. With wisdom and patience, they guide us in the classroom. For all the things you have done for us we say Thank You,” realizing that for all your noble efforts this is a poor tribute. We will long carry the memories of the great times, the hard tests, and the hearty laughs of school days gone by, but we will not forget that it was our teachers that gave us the confidence and contributed so much to equip us for the days that lie ahead. 8 Mr. WALDEMAR HOLLENSTED Vocal Music B.A. Mr. CURTIS JARVIS Boys' Physical Education Varsity Basketball Coach Intramurals B.A., M.S.

The senior year proved best of all the years as one of the busiest classes in school was led through its last year by Gene Parrish, Ed Toulou, Feral Flesher, Saundra Nelson, and Arlys George. The class sold Coquille High School Stationery, book covers, and food to raise money. They also held one dance. The Senior Ball on April 5, will be remembered by many as one of the nicest dances of their high school life. On May 14, skip day, the class had a picnic. The Senior class was proud of its athletes and leaders that contributed to the success of the school year. To most it seemed that the year crept by all to quickly and suddenly baccalaureate and commencement appeared. Proud to be another class to graduate from Coquille High School, the class of 58 feels that during its four years of high school it has achieved some success, happiness, and wisdom. It hopes that it may leave, upon graduation, to the classes following, a bit of each of these.

Who were the hucksters out peddling refreshments at football games? They were cheerful Juniors supporting their class. The proceeds from selling refreshments at footbal? games went into the Junior Class treasury toward the Junior Prom and Senior Ball. Selling concessions was their main project of the year. The Juniors also sponsored two dances after ballgames during the course of the year. The Junior Prom, with the theme of Autumn Leaves, was a big success. Members of the class worked hard to make the decorations as pretty as they were. Reigning over the evening's activities were Myma Pemberton, queen, and Margie Young and Sharon Liles, princesses. Receiving our class rings was a big event for us. Having ordered them last spring, we joyfully grabbed them when they came at the beginning of this year. We now felt that we could justify the role we played as upperclassmen. Our functions couldn't have run as smoothly as they did without the guidance of Mrs. Leisure and Mr. Schmidt, our advisors.

Shortly after our election of officers, we fell right to work on our money-raising projects. September 12th, we entertained the Freshmen at the Freshman-Sophomore party. There was delightful dancing, and hilarious games, after which we guzzled punch and gobbled cookies, for an evening of fun. We sponsored several dances after games, to raise money for our class in the next few years. The Sophomore class was well represented in school activities all through the year. Many of the boys received letters in football, basketball, and track while the girls supported the pep band and Pep Club. During the year we were guided by our very helpful and understanding advisors, Mrs. Osika and Mr. Greig. 24 Two heads are better than one to figure out what you're hacking up. Albertson, H.

Where do I go and similar ones were heard from the Freshmen who were getting their first glimpse of high school life. There were honored by the Sophomores at the annual Sophomore-Freshman party on September 12th. It enabled the Freshmen to become better acquainted with members of their own class and the Sophomore class. The main money-raising functions were a cake walk in the early fall and a dance after a basketball game. The big event of spring was tree planting. Freshmen were excused from school and planted trees for a day. They were eager to go, but were not reluctant to return to their studies, upon the realization of their muscular aches and pains. The class was well represented in many different activities. Band and vocal events took much time of some of the class members. Many boys took part in football and basketball, while the girls cheered and chased them. Mrs. Beecher and Mr. Fredrickson did a wonderful job as our advisors. Their help and good influence were greatly appreciated.

Holland, President; Mrs. Watson, Advisor. @ou tciC Under the leadership of Dale Holland, the 1957-58 Student Council did a wonderful job in helping to uphold the laws and traditions of our school. Among the projects of the council was the annual Christmas Party given for the student body. Talented students participated in an interesting show after which refreshments were served. Because of the unsatisfactory behavior of some major office holders a new amendment was added to the constitution. This provided a council of three students and two teachers who could remove such persons from office. The students were to be reported to the council and discussed thoroughly before any measures were taken. A major project was the E. E. Spike” Leslie Memorial. A plaque was designed by one of the students and paid for from the generous contributions of the Student Body. It was voted upon by the student body to name our football field after Spike.” GROUP-ROW ONE: L. Molthu, D. Brown, L. Hatcher, V. Stein, S. Cochran, J. Grant, B. Swensen, F. Erickson, S. Carillo, G.

The National Honor Society, founded by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921, was inaugurated in Coquille High School in 1950. Students are chosen to become members who are outstanding in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The tapping of new members from the Junior and Senior classes was held January 23. The initiation was held the evening of March 25. Parents of all members were invited to the event honoring initiates Peggy Roten, Gene Parrish, and Claudia Fluke, Seniors; and Valerie Fields, James Morgan, Faye Johnson, Donna Brown, Jeanette Philipps, Joetta Miller, Sandra Kribs, and Susie Summers, Juniors. Fifteen Percent of the senior class and ten percent of the junior class are invited for membership. The five Sophomore probationary members were present at a dinner held in their honor by the members in April. These members will be eligible for membership next year if they remain in good standing. The Senior members were again privileged to wear the gold cords over their robes at commencement. 40 Selling ad space to the merchants downtown for the football and basketball programs was the main source of funds with which to publish the paper. This year a new system was introduced in which part of the student body fee paid at the beginning of the year was set aside to pay for the Devil's Torch. Much enthusiasm was shown by the reporters in getting news coverage of the latest events. Several feature stories written by the reporters were published. A special edition honoring the late Spike” Leslie was published in the fall. Editor Peggy Roten, deserved much credit in the publications of the fine paper. Mr. Fredrickson, the staff's advisor offered much assistance. 'Ttecoa (ZatAenaye SEATED-D. Jorgenson, Business Manager; P. Roten, Editor; Mr. Charles Fredrickson, Advisor. STANDING-J.

Many friendships are formed through each Junior and Senior having a Sophomore or Freshman as a little sister. The party in September acquainting each girl with her sister was the first of the year’s many successful activities. Twirp Week, October 8 through November 1, found the girls carrying books, opening doors, and shining shoes for the boys. The week was climaxed with the annual Twirp Dance. Reigning over the affair was Senior Dorothy Davison and her princesses Nancy Vaughan, Carol Tumbow, and Sandra Matejka. The annual Mothers Day Tea was held in the late spring. Each mother was presented with a small favor. The afternoon included the announcing of the Girl of the Year chosen by all Girls’ League members. The new officers elected in January to serve for a year were installed January 31 in an impressive ceremony. Nine traits of character mentioned in the Girls' League creed were chosen by the council to be the basis of the selection of the girls-of-the-month. For the third year, silver bracelets were presented to the nine Senior girls. Which one's the donkey? i Girl Of The Year, Vivian Stein.

Several members worked hard on doing their parts to finish articles, pictures, write cutlines, titles, copy, find names, layouts, and sell ads. All of these details have to be finished in order to meet the deadline date for our ’57-‘58 Laurel. In order to make all ends meet in producing your book, the Laurel Staff sponsored two dances and the Laurel party plus the selling of ads by our business staff. Throughout the year several students went around in a daze, and thought of nothing except Dutting out a yearbook that every student would enjoy. ROW ONE-K. Schrag, F. Johnson, M. Pemberton, I.

Less than 4 minutes of the first quarter had elapsed before Coquille was on the scoreboard 7-0. The Devils fumbled the opening kickoff, but recovered on the Panther’s 21. They drove through the middle to another first down on the 4. Griffith scored on the next play. Waggoner’s kick was good to make the score 14-0. Coquille-Siuslaw Defensive breaks in the closing minutes of the game helped Coquille protect its lead and win 12-7 over the Siuslaw Vikings at Florence Friday in a stubbornly fought contest. The Vikings drew first blood early in the opening quarter when they took a Coquille kick on their own 17 yard line and marched to score behind the speedy running of their backs. They also got the extra point to put the score 7-0. A pass from Waggoner to Purvis gave Coquille its first down on the Siuslaw 33. Two plays later Waggoner ran the ball to the Viking 13 and a first down. Griffith plowed through to the 8. Holding the Devils to no gain, Purvis picked up the first down on the Siuslaw one-foot line The second play of the second quarter, Cullum went over to score. The attempted pass for the extra point was no good and the score stood 7-6. Waggoner intercepted a Viking pass on the Siuslaw 40 and ran it back to the Viking 15 yard line to set up the next t.d. 61 Two plays later, Waggoner followed the same route into the end zone with the clock showing nine minutes left to play. Siuslaw took to the air for no gain then Reavis broke loose to race to the Coquille 40 before he was nailed by Purvis. Thomas intercepted the Vikings’ toss just seconds before the game ended to stave off the last minute threat. Coquille-North Bend The speedy running of North Bend Bulldogs gave the traditional rivals a 26-13 victory over the Red Devils here Friday evening. The Bulldogs got busy early when they recovered ° fumble to spark to a first touchdown drive. Two plays later they romped 60 yards for another t.d. After holding the Devils on downs, again the Bulldogs romped 70 yards for a t.d. only to have it nullified by a penalty, the first of three which were to call back North Bend scores. Coquille got a break which set up its first touchdown on the next play when Walster recovered a North Bend fumble on the Bulldog 27. Two plays later, Waggoner again passed to Purvis for the t.d. The try for the extra point failed and the score stood 6-6 early in the second quarter. Taking the ball on their own 38. the Bulldogs then started to march again. The score 20-6. The Devils were held on downs, but three plays later, Waggoner intercepted a pass and ran from the 10 to the 20 yard line. With only about 3 minutes left in the game, Waggoner passed to Purvis and again paid off for a first down on North Bend’s 44. The same combination clicked 4 more times and the ball was on the Bulldogs' 10 yard line. From there, with just 35 seconds left, Waggoner tossed one to Sanders who was all alone, for the final t.d. of the game. Waggoner’s kick was good to make the score 26-13. Coquille-Toledo After leading 7-6 at the halftime the Coquille Red Devils were dumped 12-7 by the Toledo Boomers, at the Lincoln County City. A Toledo fumble recovered by Darrell Sanders on the 50 yd. line in the 1st quarter set up the 1st and only Coquille t.d. Coquille-Bandon The Tigers had their first win over the Devils since 1926, sparked by a set of hard-running back and a strong defensive line. At the halftime Bandon led 7-0 and soon after the second half began marched 81 yards in nine plays to make the score 13-0. The fourth quarter found them with twenty points and the Devils with 0, but Coquille came to life. Waggoner hit Byers with a pass and he went into the end zone standing up to make the score 20-6. With just seconds left a Tiger back dashed into the end zone as the gun sounded ending the game 26-6. Coquille-Reedsport The Braves were never once threatened by our Red Devils as we lost on our home field for the fifth loss of the season. Our deepest penetration made by the Devils was in the fourth quarter, when Coquille moved to the Reedsport 24 yard line. Myrtle Point-Coquille A touchdown in the closing seconds of the game gave the Myrtle Point Bobcats a 20-13 victory over the Coquille Red Devils here Friday November 1, for the first Myrtle Point win in eight years. Coquille had a new look as the ga.ne opened with Arnold Cullum as quarterback, Waggoner at half and Ed Marsh at fullback in a split T formation. f . t ' Oeifi 0?utu%e 7e£U t Coquille 6-0 Bandon Coquille 0-13 Myrtle Point Coquille 7-32 North Bend Coquille 0-44 Marshfield Coquille 28-28 Myrtle Point Coquille 34-6 Bandon This year Coquille had a good Jr. Varsity team.
