Coquille High School - Laurel Yearbook (Coquille, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1961 volume:

Nancy Armstrong Editor Normandie Earls Assistant Editor Doris Phillipps Business Manager Mr. Willard Mohn Advisor Coquille Senior High School Coquille, Oregon Interlocking Factors Produce Outstanding The Laurel, award for academic and athletic superiority since the time of the ancient Greeks, symbolizes honor and distinction. Our Laurel spreads its branches over many individuals, organizations, and subjects; recognition is given to all. Steeped in tradition, yet changing with each new class, our school offers sound training for our future citizens. Within our system of education, there are many opportunities to excel in scholastics, athletics and other endeavors. The evergreen Laurel crowns a year, providing a lasting record of achievements and memories. Students Academics Pages ........ 10-53 Activities Pages......... 54-73 Athletics Pages........ 74-97 Superintendent Way McMurray and Principal Rudy Johnson, who head the program and activities at Coquille High School, pose in Mr. Johnson's newly-decorated office. Administration And Coquille High School was, this year, the scene of a series of major changes in the administration. Mr. Wayne McMurray, well-known former principal of the High School, was promoted to the position of superintendent, and was largely responsible for the smooth transition from past policies. Our hard-working principal, Mr. Rudy Johnson, has urged the students to express their opinions when controversial issues arise, and has successfully endeavored to combine the old and new of Coquille High School into a compact, well-united whole. Mrs. Clarice Crawford Mr. Cedric Cross, Chairman Mr. Thomas Drake Mr. Myron Gurney Mr. Jerry Mac Murray Mr. Thomas Stevens Mr. Robert Wilson Many problems involving our student body are discussed at the regular school board meetings, held in the new district offices. Board Important Links The interested, education-minded citizens who serve for five-year terms on the school board are a link between community and school. During its frequent sessions, the board settles issues on school policies, checks on requisitions, and works out the budget. The members not only donate many hours of their time, but they are deeply concerned with all the facets of our education. Any proposed changes, no matter how inconsequential or preposterous, must first pass their scrutiny. Their friendly attitude is apparent in their sanction of new beneficial programs and activities. Teachers Named To New Administrative Posts Mr. Loren King, Activities Director StudentCounsellors Mrs. Thora Watson and Mr. Karl Schmidt leave their joint offices after an afternoon of their usual overtime work. Mr. Bill Vlcek, Athletics Director A director was appointed this year to head the athletics and activities departments. Mr. Loren King took over the task of scheduling meetings, assemblies, dances, and other functions associated with the school. The duties of the new athletic director, Mr. Bill Vlcek, include endorsing the scheduling of those events under his jurisdiction to the satisfaction of his superiors and the coaches. Because the athletic program receives a great deal of community interest, he must also be certain that the athletes maintain satisfactory academic and conduct records. Counselling Program Assists Students In addition to their regular classes, Mrs. Thora Watson and Mr. Karl Schmidt conduct a full-scale program of student counselling. Each student is assisted in scheduling his classes so that he may prepare himself most fully for his chosen vocation. The counsellorscarefully scrutinize the results of achievement tests taken by students, and attend several meetings each year in order to gain pertinent information concerning college requirements, the armed services, and other occupations for high school graduates. This information is promptly relayed to the students. Volumes of material on colleges and student ratings are also received and sorted by them. Each student is free to discuss personal as well as occupational subjects with our counsellors. Members of the Student Council are: row one: Rick Gould, Janet Leatherman, Kathy Sharr, Mary Jo Loomis, Chris Christensen. Row two: Ed Marsh, Linda Logan, Janice Me Murray, Anna Stonecypher, Cathy Whereat, Pearline Fults, Bob Mason. Row three: ElRoy Miller, Jerry Shafer, Ken Snoddy, Mike Sisk, Bill White, Tim Griffin. Pending problems are attacked quickly and effectively by the Student Body Officers, who are Secretary Cheri Perrott, Treasurer, Farol Peterson, Advisor Mr. Loren King, Business Manager Ernie Anderson, Vice President Bob Ivarie, and President Jim Pribble. New Constitution Induces Many Changes The business conducted during the year by the student council and intra-club council includes setting up rules governing the school functions and standards for student behavior and discussing any problems involving the student body. Among the issues talked over was the question of continuing student of the month. Oar new constitution created what is known as an intra-club council, composed of the most important officer of each school organization. Measures proposed by this group are passed on to the student council, which makes the final decision. The student council consists of representatives from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, and one member from each of the second period classes. Every student in the school is represented in student council, and those active in student organizations elect persons to serve on the intra-club council. Intra-club Council members are: row one: Anne Stone-cypher, Shirley Griffith, Mary Dee Richardson, Becky Whytal, Kathy Sharr, Marcia Cross. Row two: Jerry Shafer, Doris Philipps, Dick Marcum, Ernie Anderson, Nancy Armstrong, ElRoy Miller, Bob Ivarie. Custodial Staff Responsible For Mrs. Wallace, private secretary to the principal, and Mrs. Dorland, secretary to the guidance office, take a break from their duties to pose for the yearbook photographer. Among the duties of our custodians, Mr. Vem Johnson and Mr. Reuben Leigh, is that of preparing the cafeteria for the noon “rush hour. “ Student Body President Jim Pribble aids Santa in his distribution of gifts to the school employees. School Maintenance Although the school changes in many ways during the year, the halls still have to be swept, the lawns mowed, lunches cooked, buses driven, innumerable jobs done by our custodians, cooks, bus drivers, and office help. Five days a week, the cooks serve delicious, filling meals. Planning lunches for such a large number of people must be a major task. Mrs. Wallace, with her staff of office girls, presents a smiling, patient countenance to the many desperate students who petition her aid, besides fulfilling her duties as office secretary. All during the day, the custodians are requested to set up chairs or microphones, unlock store rooms, repair pencil sharpeners, and replace broken windows. Dolefully they watch students cover the walls with posters, knowing that they will have to remove them. After our school day ends, they begin to clear the debris from the classrooms and the grounds. The bus drivers, several of whom also hold positions as custodians, convey students to and from school, and to many out-of-town functions. Performing many extra jobs, the non-certified employees are part of the contingent that makes Coquille High School a laurel-winner. Mr. King, attendance officer, okay's Kathy Allen's excuse. Delicious meals are served each day in the school cafeteria by our cooks, Mrs. Hilja Neavoll, Mrs. Ida Kusick, and Mrs. Barbara Pruess. Bus drivers Ray Jeub, Ivyl Frye, Pauleen Dorland, Roy McGee, and Reuben Leigh relax after their harrowing morning bus routes. S3IW1QV3V TO LIVE THRT EACH TDMDRRDR FINDS U5 FRATHER THRN TODAY Even though many of the same subjects are carried by all students, each individual receives and retains a slightly different impression from the material offered. Because we have a relatively large curriculum, students are able to choose courses to suit their individual tastes and to most effectively prepare them for the future. This stimulates academic interest and endeavor. Laurels in the form of good grades, scholarships, and membership in honor societies are awarded to those who excel. Formal education is qeared to stimulate the student's interests, but the maximum benefit is obtained only by the student who takes the initiative. Mrs. Harriet Osika B. A. University of Oregon Library Mrs. lone Kilgore B. A. Linfield College French, Senior English Mrs. Donna Brady B.S. Lewis and Clark College Freshman English Mrs. Elizabeth Carlstad A. B. , M.S. University of Washington Junior English Mr. Alden Kittredge B.S. Colby College Sophomore English, Speech Students Gain Experience In English Mrs. Harriet Osika, our librarian, assists Terri Woodward and Pearline Fults in finding material £or their term papers. English - the melting pot of all tongues. Because our language blends elements of many others into one it also gives the people who speak this language something in common. It is easily imagined that a language which is formed from so many different ones, both ancient and modern, is probably very complicated. This is true of English which, many people contend, is the most difficult to learn. Even youngsters born in English-speaking countries study their native language for many years. Upon the completion of their formal education each of them would readily admit that they know little in relation to all the knowledge of that subject. Our students have delved into many of the aspects of our language in their respective classes. By using the library for research work they are able to write term papers and conduct panel discussions which in turn have aided them in learning about famous American and English authors and their works. By writing compositions they learn to express their ideas and interests while displaying their talents. It is essential that the students have a complete background in grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and sentence techniques. All of this and more is the goal of our ever-striving educators. From these learned people we gather seeds of knowledge, but it is up to us to nurture them. Oir library serves the students in many ways. It not only has volume upon volume of material concerning every subject imaginable, but its card catalog and Reader's Guide tell the students exactly where to find this information. One may select from hundreds of reference works, books to be read for enjoyment and challenge, magazines, and pamphlets. Ed Moss, Bob Mason, Ladd Luckman, and Larry Robinson present one of the many panel discussions scheduled in the Junior English classes. Reading Project Sophomores Jerry Bettencourt and Jennifer Chidwick hesitate over a tricky sentence construction. Freshmen Carl Wilson and Vicki Hansen choose material for an SRA reading lab test. Mr. Paul Grieg B. A. , M. in Ed. University of Portland University of Oregon Biology, General Science Mrs. Hazel Marquess B. A. University of Oregon General Math, Physical Science Mr. James Pendleton B. in Ed. Keene Teacher's College Chemistry, Physics Science Presents Fascinating Realm Science includes a myriad of enigmas yet to be solved, and provides basic principles to be imprinted on one's mind. Our science department is one of the most challenging branches of study. Industrious students bent over test tubes, microscopes, or thick volumes enhance the atmosphere of apt learning. Although they do not delve too deeply into any one particular field, the general science classes cover diversified areas. Thus, the interests of students are challenged, and they are encouraged to continue their study of the one or more branches of science in which they may take an interest. Scholars engrossed in Biology are involved in the dissection of worms and the collection of insects. They keep notebooks in which they illustrate life cycles, classifications, living organisms, and animal structure. Chemistry is another class in which the scientific-minded may display their aptitude. Chemistry deals with the composition of substances and the transformations which they undergo. A portion of class periods are spent in the laboratory, where experiments, such as the distillation of water or the replacement of hydrogen by a metal, are conducted. Physics students concentrate their efforts on the study of the relationship between matter and energy. They, too, probe deeper into the fascinating realm of energy transformation by conducting experiments. Microscopes enable the Biology students to check the blood circulation of a frog. Measuring acid concentration occupies chemistry students Ed Leatherwood and Ron Stein while instructor Mr. James Pendleton lends his advice. Biology students Darlene Brumbaugh and Nancy Cunningham demonstrate proper dissection procedure. The Social Studies department endeavors to equip its scholars with a sound background in history and geography. This is accomplished by means of four classes, each dealing with a distinct phase of the subject. World Geography, a course in which all Freshmen are enrolled, is often considered very general, although this is not necessarily true. World Geography students learn basic and important facts about countries--facets concerning the terrain of the land, industrial development, climate, and agricultural products. Maps, both student-made and standard, promote their studies. United States History and World History classes have conducted stimulating discussions of historic events and personalities. This sharing of opinions and ideas helps to arouse intellectual curiosity, and encourages us to delve more deeply into the history of our country and that of the world. The students are encouraged to do extensive outside reading. Stock market reports, the preparation of income tax forms, and labor unions exemplify the topics discussed in the Social Economics Classes. Previous to and immediately following the national elections, debates were held in each class, after which an assembly was conducted for the benefit of the student body. The Home Relations Classes first studied a section dealing with careers and vocations. Secondly, the students mastered a unit concerning health, after which they took a standardized test over the material. Home Relations, in ?ieneral, is the study of adjustments to families and married ife. John Hickam struggles with algebra problems while Barbara Finley relaxes with a good book.

University of Oregon Physical Science General Math Math - Brains, Persistence, And A Good Eraser Every student who graduates from high school has at one time in his four year career taken some form of math. Whether it is an accelerated program or perhaps an average course, the study of mathematics can be and usually is a vital part of his curriculum. The introduction to mathematics is given either by Mrs. Marquess, General Math and Applied Math instructor, or by Mr. Kingham, Algebra I and Geometry teacher. After taking either Algebra I or Geometry, a student may advance to Mrs. Watson's course in second year algebra. Students who have taken Algebra II may then take Trigonometry, which is considered the hardest math class in school, and the climax to a complete four years. Mr. Lee Kingham demonstrates an overhead projector. Business Courses Train Future Secretaries Mrs. Beecher and Mrs. Pulvermacher have succeeded this year in the instruction of a large and complex program. The students enrolled represent all classes - freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior -and are taking a variety of different subjects. Typing I and II classes are fundamental courses which deal with the mechanics of typing and typing skills, along with a smattering of English composition for business letters. Students not only compose, but must also follow the proper technique for standard typing forms and legal papers. Bookkeeping is an interesting course, and one that is highly profitable to the students. Perhaps this class can best instill a few ideas on self-budgeting and personal finances, along with the basics of bookkeeping. Future secretaries would enjoy not only bookkeeping, but also the following terms spent in Secretarial Practice or Shorthand. These classes are sometimes proving grounds for future success. Norma Jean Davis and Cheryl Mast are among the many students who learned to operate the mimeograph. Complicated problems are done by Barbara Nyre on the time-saving calculator.

Language Students Create Foreign Atmosphere Mrs. lone Kilgore B. A. Linfield College French I Mrs. Elva Leisure B. A. Kansas Wesleyan Latin I and II The foreign language department of Coquille High School was broadened this year by the addition of a French course to the curriculum. For several years Latin has been the mainstay; however, it was found only a short time before the first day of school that Mrs. lone Kilgore, senior English teacher, was also a qualified French instructor. A large number of enthusiastic students at once became interested in pursuing the study of French, making possible the initiation of a first year course. Although some fifty students expressed their interest, the number was reduced to a normal-sized class for convenience. The enterprising make-believe Frenchmen planned and enjoyed a buffet, with French dishes and French entertainment. Latin classes this year again concentrated on absorbing knowledge from their texts and from Mrs. Leisure, instructor. Both Latin I and Latin II classes participated in the Latin Banquet, an annual event that depicts an ancient Roman custom of feasting. Music, one of the most enjoyable pastimes, whether it is vocal or instrumental, has added greatly to the pleasure of the student body this past year. Aided by the wonderful backing of faculty and students, both band and choir have completed a successful season, each giving several concerts. The department has not only occupied mutual quarters successfully, but has also inspired a close feeling of harmony and cooperation between the two groups. Each has supported and attended regularly the other's performances, showing consideration and appreciation not only for their own talents, but also another's, a vital factor when dealing with a musician's self-improvement. Mr. Waldemar Hollensted Mr. Wesley R. Hedeen B. Music B. A., M. A. Pacific University Willamette University Choir, Girls' and Boys' Glee Band Janet Scharfer, Terry Casey, Denise Sonneman, and Ellen Churchill separate music from the Kleenex, broken reeds and pencils found in folios. Music Proves Challenging, Yet Enjoyable Traditional Christmas carols, sung by the Girls' Clee and the Choir, set the holiday mood in the annual Christmas concert. Mrs. Ive Mintonye B. A. Santa Barbara College Home Economics Mrs. Helen Hollensted B.S. Oegon State College Home Economics Handiwork For Future Useful At Present Although a great number of students are unfamiliar with the curriculum and purposes of home economics, the values to interested pupils are many. Innumerable students have secured invaluable experience in cooking, the care of the hojne, and clothing construction. In addition to these skills, students gain the confidence of familiarity with home utensils, which carries forward into future years. Budgeting, careful buying and choice of articles contribute to the welfare of a successful home life for all future homemakers. Along with the courses, qualified students enjoy the activities of home economics-sponsored F. H. A., which brings these students together through similar interests. Attractive and stylish dress held by Joyce Allen and Barbara Keeney is proof of sewing skills. First-year Home Economics students learned the eccentricities of the sewing machine. Course Develops Driving Skills Driver's Training. . .the proving ground for future road (space) pilots. Under the direction of Mr. Ted DeGroat, all eager sophomores and juniors participate to make this one of the liveliest classes around. While humorous incidents occur regularly, the experience gained by enrollees greatly overshadows the mistakes made by these novice drivers. Before venturing onto the roadways, a three-weeks course in the fundamentals, such as turning signals, stop lights, and changing lanes, introduces the student to the rules and regulations he must follow on the highway. If he is successful in the driver's permit test, which is given in the school laboratory twice yearly, he then begins practical application of the principles he has learned. However, before the class drives on the streets, a practice session is first held on the school grounds, at which the students gain skill in handling the car. Each class convenes for only one semester, replacing a regular term of physical education. Credit is due to Southwestern Motors, because they have donated new Chevrolets to the driver's training classes for a period of thirteen years. Mr. Ted DeGroat ponders an important question: Shall I enter this car? Crystal Woodruff heads line of students taking the Drivers' Permit Test. Practical And Artistic Skills Developed Mr. Ken Snoddy B.S. Northeastern State College Metal Shop, Arts and Crafts Mechanical Drawing Mr. Paul Snider B.S., M. Ed Oregon State College Woodshoo, General Mechanics During the latter part of May, beautiful woodcraft articles were displayed in the trophy window of the school. These projects typified the work that has been done by the woodshop class, and, with many other artistic objects, were shown at an annual open house held Wednesday, May 25. The industrial arts section of the high school combines not only woodshop, but also mechanical drawing, arts and crafts, and metal shop. This department also produces the props and backdrops for the school plays, a service for which the recognition they receive is much too meager. Three ardent fishermen, Jim Hefner, Dennis Armstrong, and Lawrence Gill entertain Shop Open House guests by demonstrating the correct procedure for making sinkers. Mr. Myron Vlcek M. A. , B.S.

Good Physical Condition Aids Mental Growth Exercises - more exercises - routine complaints about sore muscles echoing from both the large and small gyms. Mrs. Ellery and Mr. Vlcek have really carried through a vigorous program of varied and complex activities this year. This program has perhaps produced a somewhat healthier and more cor-ordinated student body. Basketball, volleyball, tumbling, baseball; these were but a few of the programs carried through. Besides the time they have spent in class, many students also participated in the noon intra-murals programs of volleyball and similar sports. Coach Vlcek presented several awards to deserving athletes at the final awards assembly. Tommy Leatherwood and LeRoy Phillips examine the structure of the eye. FXN05 U5 FBRTHBR THHI Final Activities Climax Year The year started, for the seniors, with a characteristic surge of excitement. The realization that this is our last year made us eager to choose our class colors, motto, and flower. Members of the announcement committee also picked out four announcements from a field of approximately twenty; the seniors then cast their ballots for their favorite. Our projects this year included an unproductive sale of arm bands and pillows. To off-set this loss we sold booster buttons and sponsored two after-game dances. Measuring for caps and gowns took place in the counciling room under the direction of Mr. Schmidt, who with Mrs. Thora Watson, serves as advisor to the Senior class. A small amount of embarrasment was experienced by the girls as they revealed their weight. The Senior Ball featured a unique setting upon the theme Wonderland By Night. The main attractions were the announcement of the May Court and the striking decorations of red and black. As graduation approached, the usual symptoms were noted by the teachers. Senioritis , a common ailment, seemed to have hit once more. However, we survived the epidemic to carry on through the activities of baccalaureate and commencement exercises. Of Glorious Superiority Senior class officers, secretary Karen Anderson, vice-president Jamie Herring, Advisor Mr. Karl Schmidt, representative Bill White, president Roger Sanders, and treasurer Jackie Peper meet at a library round table to discuss a class project.

Juniors Excel In Academics and Activities The members of the 1960-61 Junior class busied themselves with several diversified activities, as Mr. James Pendleton, the class advisor, will testify. One of the first major events for these students was the arrival of their class rings, which they donned with obvious pride. These rings symbolized for them the unit and maturity for which they were striving. The Junior Prom, because of the forethought and endeavors of its sponsors, became a delightful Evening in Paris. The dance was highlighted by the crowning of the queen and her court, who reigned beneath an awe-inspiring Eiffel Tower. Concessions were again a major money-making project handled by the willing Juniors. Several of the more enterprising students augmented the treasury by aiding these sales at games. The games themselves enlisted the rousing support of the Juniors, who officially won the sign-making contest preceding the Coquille-Myrtle Point game. Other activities concerning games were the sponsorship of an after-game dance and the sale of one-pound containers of candy. The purpose of the candy sale was to leave an adequate fund with which to start next year. Alice West, Karen Brown, and Neil McGilvery received certificates from Mrs. Knox for their patriotic essays.

Artistry in a different medium is practiced by Alice West and Mary Lou Stonecypher on their two patient subjects Janet West and Donna Hill. The views of Freshmen and Sophomores concerning our high school, its students, and its classes differ radically from those of older students. These ideas must be cultured - developed from the raw materials into lustrous examples of outstanding citizenship and scholarship. This improvement takes place slowly, barely noticeable, and requires the assistance of personal experience and expert guidance. The Freshmen and Sophomores, usually spoken of as underclassmen, were both potential leaders and active participants in our many school functions. One of the first events, and a most exciting evening, for them, was die Freshmen-Sophomore party, at which the Sophomore class went all out to make the newcomers welcome. The underclassmen, widi their zest for both harmless pranks and schoolwork, soon distinguished themselves as avid scholars. The cum laude list featured several of their names, promising future laurel winners for Coquille High. Drive And Ingenuity New, fresh ideas offered by Freshman treasurer Cheryl Thomas, secretary Sara Scott, class representative Kath-rine Whereat, president John Snider, and vice-president Benny Wallace are approved by advisors Mrs. Donna Brad)' and Mr. Lee Kingham.

They thoroughly enjoyed the functions planned for, and by, them. Traditions dictated the policies as this ever-busy group again sponsored the Sophomore-Freshman dance. This event, though mainly for enjoyment, also acquainted the bashful newcomers with their worldly elders. Because they realized that the Sophomore year is spent in preparation for becoming upperclassmen, these students sponsored several projects for the specific purpose of raising funds. In April, cupcakes were prepared and sold for the benefit of the whole student body as well as the class. This project was the first of its kind (meaning cupcakes) undertaken by this group. Although most classes usually do not carry their projects into the summer, the Sophomores are planning to have several car-washes during the vacation months. These car-washes are planned to augment the class treasury; they will probably also prove to be loads of fun and a little wet! Mr. Loren King, their understanding and ingenious advisor, successfully guided the class through the year and their many activities, helping the class officers plan for the all-important projects.

The enthusiastic support offered them by Mrs. Donna Brady and Mr. Lee Kingham aided the ever-active Freshmen in adjusting readily to this advancement. Officers, elected by the Freshmen early in the year, presided during several class meetings. The class also participated in noon dances, cakewalks, and and numerous organizational meetings. Twirp season found the Freslimen girls down on their hands and knees, diligently polishing boys' shoes for a nickel. An interesting first for these students was the Iowa Test for Educational Development. The Freshman team held their own in football and basketball games with many of the schools which their varsity counterparts met. The Class of 1964, the largest in the history of Coquilie High School, is also the last freshman class in this school.

These activities have captured the interest of many people outside of the school, and encouraged their support. Although organizations are time-consuming, a student's satisfaction, and the awards or laurels given for successful projects, compensates for the- labor. Everyone agrees that education-broadening activities are a welcome change from homework. Community Enriched American Field Service, the cause of a two-year-old project sponsored by the student council, may well be proud to boast its first fruitful year at Coquille High. Through the earnest efforts of president Guy Mauney, our student representatives, Cheri Perrott and ElRoy Miller, and numerous other students and townspeople, the dream of having a foreign exchange student became a reality; Andrea Lanzoni, scholar and trackman from Italy, enrolled as a senior, and took every difficult course Coquille High School had to offer. Having been carefully selected before Andrea's arrival in August of last year, the Morse Stone-cypher family provided the home during Andrea's none-month stay in Coquille. The part of Andy's expenses for which Coquille was responsible came from student body projects and from contributions by local clubs and townspeople. Italian exchange student Andrea Lanzoni.

We can't let the staff members go by unmentioned, for they have truly made the job of publishing the Devils' Torch more exciting, if not more purposeful. Although this monthly publication exists primarily as a source of information for students, it also offers an excellent literary outlet to students with talents in the field of journalism. The Devils' Torch may take pride in its full-page scoop on news from the sports scene, as well as from the club scene.

N H S Membership Awarded Outstanding Students ft is the goal of National Honor Society to instill in its members, and also to stimulate in others, the exemplary qualities on which its membership is based: superior scholarship, free-hearted service, trustworthy leadership, and estimable character. So as to honor those junior and seniors who were eligible for National Honor Society at the first of the school year, two inductions and two initiations were held—one in the fall, and the other in the spring, at which time eligible sophomores were also tapped for probationary membership. Under the supervision of advisor, Mrs. Elva Leisure, a semi-formal banquet was given in the spring in honor of all probationary members. Senior members became perhaps the most aware of the honor attributed to their membership in National Honor Society on the night of graduation, when each member wore a gold cord of honor over his gown. Elected to serve the Society during the next year, President Mike Sisk, Treasurer Lynn MacMurray, Vice-President Terrell Clarke, and Secretary Shirley Griffith, are briefed by advisor Mrs. Leisure.

The initiation of some fifteen members, as well as the installation of officers, took place at an impressive evening ceremony conducted by the Bandon chapter of F. T. A. in December; at this time Supt. Wayne Me Murray presented the club with its charter. The newly organized group, under the leadership of charter president Mary Dee Richardson, explored the educational profession by visiting classrooms and entertaining guest speakers.

A Chili Feed was put on in September to acquaint interested girls with F. H. A. and its purposes; in October an initiation was held, raising the membership to almost seventy girls. Talk about fun - you should have been at the candymaking party before Christmas vacation! For three solid hours girls took turns stirring the piping hot cauldrons of candy. Of course the fun really began the re xt noon hour when a few lucky lickers had charge of sacking candy for the sale. Remembering that Christmas was made for children , F. H. A. 'ers put on a special children's party, to which each member brought a pre-school guest. After a few games, gifts were passed out to the children by our Santa Claus--principal Rudy Johnson. The climatic event of the year was the annual Cotton n' Cord Dance, decorated to suit the theme Please Don't Eat the Daisies. Highlight of the evening was the coronation of Queen Sandra Matejka, and the presentation of her court: senior princess, Cathy Betterton; junior princess, Barbara Keeney; sophomore princess, Nancy Leatherman; and -freshman princess, Many couples enjoyed the evening festivities Karen Matejka. at the Cotton n' Cord Dance. Gripping Drama With A Strange Twist With the use of make-up, Mary Lou Stone-cypher assists Jim Hefner in bringing a play character to life. Twenty-seven Coquille High drama enthusiastists, under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Marquess, appeared on one or both of the all-school plays. The first play, a three-act drama by Reginald Rose, was presented in December, and depicted the story of a young boy who, because of war injuries, mentally became Larry Benson, his .best friend. He returned home to the Bensons, who naturally rejected him as an imposter. Through Freda Benson, the unfortunate situation was at last straightened out.

Take Care Of My Little Girl Take Care of Nfy little Girl , a three-act comedy by Anne Coulter Martens, was presented in April. Liz Erickson, the pledge to Queen's Sorority, found herself in a real jam after following the group's advice. Assisted by Casey Reynolds, a rebellious member, she finally decided what she really wanted. Make-up for the two plays was taken care of by Mary Lou Stonecypher, Donna Torrey, Janet West, Alice West, and Susan Head. Mrs. Elizabeth Carlstad gave weekly lessons on dramatic make-up prior to the plays. Members of Thespians took charge of ticket sales for both productions. Pat Barr, Anna Greene and Phil Rhay contributed to an outstanding performance. II Looks convincing, doesn't it? Sandra Amweg and Ed Marsh prepare for opening night.

Group Participates In Concerts And Parades The first highlight of the concert band's year was the arrival of their long-awaited and much-desired new uniforms---navy blue with a removeable white dickey and a sport-type jacket. In September, after a minimum of preparation, the band presented an outstanding pre-game performance at the Shrine Football Game in Coos Bay, as well as at three of our own home football games. October found band members working hard selling tickets and ushering for the U. S. Navy Band's performance, which was sponsored by the local Rotary Club. In May the concert band participated in a festival in Myrtle Point, for which they marched and played in a concert. A little later, they marched in the Rhododendron Festival at Florence. The annual spring concert, followed by Commencement, climaxed a very successful and satisfying year. Tlie Pep and Dance Bands, both composed of concert band members, turned in good performances at the basketball games, after-game dances, and at a Lion's Club luncheon. Barbara Scharfer, recipient of the John P. Sousa Award, and Dick Marcum, who received the Rotary Band Award, were presented with these honors at the annual Spring Band Concert. Nothing less than the most skillful direction of Mr. Waldemar Hollensted, combined with the most enthusiastic cooperation of his choir members, could possibly have implemented the choir's rigorous schedule as successfully as was done this year. A concert at the Methodist Church was first on the agenda, which was soon to be perpetuated by the long-awaited television appearance at Coos Bay, and then by the Christmas Madrigal Concert. Undoubtedly the most eagerly anticipated highlight was the weekend trip to Grants Pass in April. On this occasion the scarlet-robed choir was presented in concert and were hospitably entertained by members of the Grants Pass Choir, which is directed by Mr. Hollensted's son, Ron. Having been featured in many of the choir's performances, as well as singly, the Triple Trio and Boys' Quartet suffered a final attack of stage-right in May, when they participated in the solo and ensemble competition at Coos Bay. Results of the judging proved the musical prowess of the outstanding songsters. Both the girls' and boys' glee groups worked hard and enthusiastically to promote the eternal art that is music, and in late spring they helped climax a busy singing season by taking part in the annual District Vocal Festival.

SjI131H.LV After long hours of hard physical exertion, our school's athletic teams display their prowess in contests with other schools. Designed to build both body skills and character, our athletic program includes five sports which provide many boys with the opportunity to contribute. Participants are important representatives, attaining laurels that elevate the school's reputation. Friendships are developed through team spirit and common goals. Enthusiastic non-participants lend support to the teams, behind the scenes and at the games, displaying fine school spirit. Our well-developed athletic program has been sprinkled by many exciting experiences, which in turn give rise to warm, lingering memories. The Red Devils failed to defend the Sunset Conference crown as the Bobcats of Myrtle Point, by virtue of their 40-7 victory in the battle of the leaders, copped the conference championship. However, all was not melancholy and disappointing for the Devils, garnering a comrrendable record overall, and 4-1 in conference - the .latter good enough for second place. Along with this, Head, Sanders, Haffner, and Ivarie were named to the All-District first team. The 1960 football season began strongly for the Devils as they humbled the Douglas Troians, 31-0, in non-conference play. They then made it two in a row, sloping speedy Reedsport down to a walk, then grinding out a 19-6 victory. A-1 Crater, who found the Devils resourceful, had to settle for a 13-13 tie after Coquille came from behind. In deep fog, the Devils were caught looking the other way and were set down, 26-0, by A-l North Bend. However, led by the pass-catching prowess of end Jon Head, we trounced the Brookings Bruins, 40-14, to begin league play. Coquille rolled up the highest point total of the season against Pacific, a decisive 46-7 victory. Frank Haffner's hard-driving runs played a major part in the 28-7 crushing of Gold Beach. With Coquille's single wing offense working at peak performance, the Devils ran off to a 20-0 halftime lead, then held on to defeat Bandon, 27-13. This game set the stage for the battle between the two conference leaders, Coquille and Myrtle Point. The long season ended abruptly for the Devils as Myrtle Point took advantage of several key errors by the Devils and won easilv, 40-7., clinching the Sunset Conference championship and the right to go to the State Tournament. In his third year at Coquille High School, Coach Vlcek was forced to fill several key spots left void from the graduation of Seniors from the 1959 team, a team which took the conference championship and barely lost in the semi-finals of the state championship. The spots were filled and as the season progressed, the team was built into a strong cohesive unit. Hopes of an equally strong team filled the air. School and team spirit soared. Haffner developed into a fine fullback, Head was a good end, the line play was sparked by steadying influences, Ivarie, Sanders, and Leatherwood, and on the whole the Devils seemed well-balanced. Then Myrtle Point... For the student body this was a year to be remembered. Yet it will be the team who shall remember it longer. To the team it was a year of indecision, high hopes, and disappointments intensified many times more than for the fans.

The Junior Varsity football team swept back from a mediocre froshyear and defeated all antagonists with the exception of the Marshfield J. A disastrous start, six losses in a row, was not enough to bury the Junior Varsity as they finished strongly in compiling an 11-10 record. Season Record J. V.

In Season Play A stray rebound is plucked out of midaid by Junior George Stonecypher in the first Myrtle Point game. As the ball hangs on the rim, both Red Devil and Bobcat rebounders move in. With equal blends of youthful exuberance and experience, a stingy defense and a red-hot offense, the Coquille Red Devils rolled through their Sunset Conference unmarred and drove on to a second in the State A-2 Tournament. Although losing their first fray to A-l North Bend, 32-28, it became clearly evident that, as the score indicates, Coquille had a defense to be reckoned with. In another nonleague game, Coquille traveled to Newport and came home with a 58-42 win. Launched by the forty-eight points of Stein, Stonecypher, and Sanders, the Red Devils also tromped over Reedsport, 65-52. Another tight ball game with North Bend again proved fatal for the Devils as they were unable to stave off a final Bulldog onslaught and lost 58-52. Sander's fifteen points and sixteen rebounds were not enough to withstand hardcliarging Newport who revenged the loss handed them earlier in the year by winning, 49-47, in overtime. Equal scoring, a pressing zone, and strong foul shooting all played major parts in the Devils' 51-49 upset defeat of -1 Marshfield. With the impetus of a torrid first half, the Devils swept past Brookings, 67-32, to begin conference play. Coquille wrapped up another non-conference victory by.smothering Myrtle Creek, 65-34. Coach Greig's Devils got the scare of their lives from Gold Beach, but were able to flee the place with a 51-49 conquest. A rocky first quarter was not enough to dispel Devil victory notions as they pulled away to a strong half-time edge and went on to win, 60-32, over non-conference foe, Siuslaw. The Red Devils returned to Sunset Conference opponents and continued their success with a 56-40 triumph over the Pacific Pirates. Resourcefully, the Devils beat off several Bandon attempts for victory then moved on to a 57-47 van-quishment. Coquille wrenched total control of the Sunset Conference by booming past heretofore unbeaten Myrtle Point, 47-42. In a slow, tedious game, the Devils completed their two game series with Brookings with a 40-21 success. To Coach Greig's relief, the Red Devils easily defeated the Gold Beach Panthers, 64-39. Coquille's ten game winning streak was stopped abruptly by upstart Siuslaw who grabbed the 57-55 victory from the bewildered Devils in overtime. Charging back vehemently from this defeat, the Devils rambled by Pacific, 72-56, and Reedsport, 66-49, the following weekend. Boosted by Stein's twenty-one points and ten of eleven from the field, the Devils demolished Bandon, 83-56. Coquille added another to the win column by driving past Myrtle Creek, 56-33. The Devils leaped into the state tourney with a conferencewinning defeat of Myrtle Point who watched a third quarter advantage slip away to a 58-49 loss. Besides molding a 17-4 record, the Devils placed two on the All-District first team, Stein and Stonecypher. The season began with the remnants of the middling successful team of the year before and a fresh crop of impressive juniors. Slowly but surely, this group was molded-formed into a basketball team of not one, but many leaders. The talent was there, all that was needed was to place it in the right combinations and instill in the team determination and poise. It is a tribute to Coach Greig that both were accomplished. Devils Capture Second The Red Devils leaped into the 1961 A-2 Basketball State Tourney and pushed on to the finals unmarred before falling to the hard-charging White Buffaloes of Madras. It all began with the unbearably tight contest pitting Pleasant Hill and Coquille. Although in the lead throughout, the Devils were forced to stave off a late Billie rally which had erased the Devils' powerful third quarter advantage to win 54-53 and advance further toward the State Championship. Advancing into the semi-finals, the Devils swept by hustling Mt. Angel, 69-61, with the high scoring antics of Ron Stein. For one half, Coquille, displaying all kinds of devilish skills, looked unbeatable as they led 34-26 going into the intermission. However, Championship hopes flew away in the din of a stampeding quint of Madras White Buffaloes as they quickly erased the Devils' advantage and rolled on to a 63-51 victory over the frustrated Devils. Coquille rebounders, Stonecypher and Sanders, appear in complete control here. In A-2 Basketball Tournament A-2 Tournament First Team. First row: E. Bork, Mt. Angel; R. Brown, Henley. Second row: R.

Under the direction of Mr. Greig in football and Coach Vlcek in basketball, the little demons breezed through a fine frosh year. With a squad of 25 the youthful frosh successfully completed the transition to the demanding single wing and a stronger emphasis on sweeping running plays and better blocking. Although not large, the freshman basketball team compiled a 13-4 record with good shooting and tenacious rebounding. Both squads ended their seasons with conquests over heretofore vanquishers.

Red Devil Thindads Win State A-2 Championship To be remembered: 1961, the year of the crown crown for the Red Devil track squad. Power, depth, spirit, and intestinal fortitude all paved the rocky trail toward state laurels as the eager Devils, leaving a trail of shattered records behind them, sprinted away to the coveted State A-2 Championship. Brought along fast enough to realize their potential, yet slow enough so not to be past their peak, Coach Townsend's thinclads made impressive showings including a second in Hayward Relays before reaching the District Meet. Here at the District Meet, the Devils made a shambles of existing records, qualified nine men in fourteen events, and rolled up a prodigous 179 point total. Arriving at Bell Field for the State Meet, the Devil tracksters resumed their winning ways behind Seniors Bill White, Roger Sanders, and Jon Head. Adding,new laurels, the Devil 880 Relay team of Sisk, Clarke, White, and Head set a new state record. Coquille sprinters take a commanding lead in the hundred yard dash.

Three Qualify For State Championships The ancient sport of wrestling gained increased interest from the student body and enjoyed much progress in the 1960-61 school year. Head mentor Roy Fritz headed the inexperienced matmen, as he had done the year before. Two of the three state qualifiers received their first instruction this year in this sport of strength, intelligence, and guile. Coach Roy Fritz discusses wrestling matters with State Tournament performers Mark Bubenik, John Henry, and LeRoy Phillips. Coquille wrestler Paul Farr gains advantage from opponent in rough and tumble match. Hopes realized, Coach Townsend and Jon Head pause with trophy, following state meet. Coquille High School The C Club, an honorary body composed of all those athletes receiving varsity letters in any of the many sports of Coquille High School, had a profitable year in 1960-61. With the encouragement of Advisor Clyde Townsend, the C Club continued the tradition set forth in earlier years by selecting two recipients for the most valuable Senior player in football and, later, basketball. Roger Sanders, a bulwark for both the Devil gridders and basketball team, received both, a goal never before reached by a C” Club member. The club officers, headed by Ernie Anderson, provided capable, efficient leadership for Devil athletes. Mr. Johnson gives speech at the assembly honoring state trackmen. C Club officers.

Becky Whytal Sandra Matejka Farol Peterson Shouts Support Throughout Successful Year In this banner year of Red Devil athletics the Pep Club and Rally Squad helped immeasurably to form a situation conducive to total school support which played a major part in the Red Devils' manifold successes. Under the auspices of Mrs. Ellery, the Rally Squad, composed of two Juniors and six Seniors, led snappy cheers, performed in Pep Assemblies, made signs pro- moting up-coming games, and, on the whole, carried out their duties with unquenchable interest and verve. The Pep Club added to the scene, providing smooth functioning hand gyrations and the voice behind the yells. The A-2 Basketball Tourney, served as a fitting climax to a profitable, memory-filled year for both the girls of the Rally Squad and the Pep Club. Georgia-Pacific Douglas Fir Plywood Company Our townspeople have supported the school not only financially, but by approving and attending many of our school functions. The enthusiastic backing given to our athletic teams, the recognition bestowed upon outstanding students, and the interest shown in our social activities has given the student body pride in themselves. Without community backing, much of our extra-curricular program would be financially impossible. A striking example of this support is that given to the Laurel, record of the year's events.
