LAUREL MCMLXII COQUILLE HIGH SCHOOL NORMANDIE EARLS- EDITOR RICK GOULD - ASSISTANT EDITOR SPORTS SUSAN HEAD - BUSINESS EDITOR COQUILLE, OREGON MR. PUTERBAUGH - ADVISOR ough-hewn, we stood awed in the shadowy halls that still held the happy echoes of past students. Slowly, under patient, sensitive hands, we took shape, our rough, blunt edges smoothed by the past and present, as we were formed for the future. Every day has left its imprint, every sorrow its hollow, every joy its highlight during our formative years. The day by day studies, the excitement of competition, the sound of the juke-box in the multi-purpose room, the sought-after hours of relaxation, all the impressions, fell into proportion. Even as planes, lines, and curves are fused in a statue, here we learned to blend together when necessary to form a greater, more perfect whole.

Draft Annual Student Plans National Honor Society Senior Banquet finds School Board member Mr. Jerry MacMurray and his wife enjoying after-dinner coffee. Principal Copes With Colossal Job Need we say more? Principal enters wholeheartedly into the fun at the Twirp Dance. As Key Club sponsor, Mr. Johnson risks, if not his life, at least his clothes, in supervising bleacher-painting project. No student body could lack spirit if they had a principal as energetic and inspiring as Mr. Johnson. Always in motion, but never to busy to greet everyone, praise freely, and listen to teenage problems, he also found time to organize a new intraschool sport, weight-lifting! Students and faculty never fail to appreciate his genuine interest and unflagging support. Mr. Johnson sits behind desk where so many original and exciting activities are initiated. Through Wisdom They Guide Us Working twenty-six hours a day, Mrs. Watson and Mr. Schmidt manage to give all students practical advice, vocational and school information, and arrange their class schedules. Our well-informed and interested counselors perform an invaluable service as they relay material gleaned from long hours of research reading, and give understanding and help so freely. Mrs. Watson gives Anne Greene, one of the many eager college applicants, a catalog of general information. Carol Lee Smythe, counselors' secretary, brings letters to Mrs. Watson for signatures.

ACADEMICS ■■■ We don't just go to school, we are the high school. As we carry our books from class to class, from school to home, and as we sit in classrooms every year studying different subjects, our reactions, questions, and answers make us the focal part of the educational system. It is sometimes a shock to find that our bright, new ideas were discussed centuries ago by Greek philosophers and scientists, but we are here to learn these things, and from them, go on to make truly new advances and discoveries. We are here to take direction, and to shape our thoughts. English Preserves The Best - I 1 Professor Brown of the University of Oregon explains the scoring of trial advanced placement tests to Linda Hamilton and Beverly Clayton. Ursula Matzek, tape recorder technician, records Helen Stevens' well-planned and presented poem analysis. Mrs. Brady helps Pam Andruss prepare for the District United Nations Essay Contest. Of Our Age The moment that William the Conqueror stepped on English soil in 1066, our language began developing. By the time of graduation, we have taken English apart, construction by construction, and put it back together in a highly individual form. We become familiar with a great number of its greatest masters through the study of poems, novels, short stories, and plays, ranging from Shakespeare to Shaw, and Hawthorne to O. Henry. Our speech habits improve from associations and oral work. Almost without realizing it, we become proud of our vast culture, and go beyond the classroom. This takes a lot of reading and research, and the first place we look is the library, where a wide selection of reference books share shelves with well-chosen fictions. Mary Lou Stone cypher has reason to be proud of her art work illustrating Junior English literature. Handy card catalog supplies Kathy Midleton with quick reference. 1« Mrs. Osika explains to Judy Noah the significance of modern art that hangs in her newly-established art-appreciation corner. Study Of Past Helps Solve Modern Problems In these classes, more than any others, we feel the influence of the past on our present life. History is more than dates— it is people, changing trends, unforseeable catalysts, and gradual enrichment of civilization. Through an understanding of the evolution of ideas and events of World and United States History, the world conditions that we study in Modem Problems become less of an enigma. Understanding is not enough. We must know how to better these conditions in the world, nation, community, and home. That is what makes our Family Relations and Modern Problems classes so necessary. Well-qualified panelists, Barbara Keeney, Janice McMurray, Arlene Pierson, Ron Elliott, Bob Mason, and Bill Reed, discuss parent-child frictions over dating. World History class—just one big, happy family! Term paper time in Modem Problems finds Punky Rosenogle and Doug Turn-bow searching for topic material. Geometry students use all the angles to solve constructions. Space Age Math Students Use Grecian Fundamentals r Many of the theorems and principles used in math were developed by Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician. Math is an important part of every student's high school career. General and Applied Math are an introduction to the more-advanced courses of Algebra I and II, Geometry, and the new course, Algebra-Trig. Trigonometry is the highest math program offered. Perhaps the development of a logical mind and the ability to solve problems confidently are as valuable as the many formulas and postulates that math requires. Mr. Kingham sets up a function problem for Shirley Griffith and Carol Spurgeon. Where The Telescope Ends, The Dedicated (?) chemists, Janice McMurray and Susan Head, conduct after-hours experiment. Science, also, was a Grecian forte, as shown by the work of such a great man as Aristotle, and as it continued to flourish in Rome, in the experiments of Galen. The General and Applied classes don’t concentrate on one particular field, but gain an over-all understanding of science. Biology I students study the structure, classification, and life cycles of animals and plants. Biology II is a college prep course added to the curriculum this year. Students study zoology and botany through comprehensive reading and careful dissection, ranging from worms to pigs. And what did the Easter bunny bring you? Microscope Begins Chemistry teaches the composition of substances and the transformations which they undergo. This is done in the lab where experiments are performed, such as destructive distillation, preparing hydrogen, and breaking equipment. Physics, dealing with the relationship between matter and energy, enables budding physicists to learn about force, sound, and light. Science is a many-sided heritage, with a legacy for everyone. That's where a muscle should be attached, says Mr. Greig to Leroy Phillips and Dennis Lee. Chief cooks and bottle-washers of Biology II, Normandie Earls, Frances, and Helen Stevens scrape out agar from the culture dishes. Dick Kastberg braces himself for a go with the gyro-wheel. m, v j, Music Makers Make Merry Male Quartet, Allen Finley, Bill Streeter, Terrell Clarke, and Earl Marble, renders a swinging spiritual. Greg Denning and Mike King, experienced band-men, tootle before class. The ability to sing or play an instrument well is a gift, but one that needs training, polishing, and developing. The fine quality of musicanship displayed by the band during both marching and concert season, and by the choir in their Wassail Party and Operetta, Mr. Crane of Sleepy Hollow are the best recommendations possible for our music department. Within both groups are divisions, the pep band which supplied so much spirit and color to basketball season, the dance band with its swinging dance entertainment and choir operetta accompaniment, the triple trio which gave countless performances in their chic blue outfits, and the talented Male Quartet with their colorful spirituals. Such music! Triple Trio members, Janet Leatherman, Karen Brown, Donna Vermillion, Carol Glenz, Janice McMurray, Doris Ferguson, Susan Head, Pattie Vlcek, and accompanist Sara Scott, sing as well as they look. Homemakers At Home By The Range The home is the first and most valuable training ground. By learning how to make a house into a home, and by practicing those extra little things that make a housewife a homemaker, the girls in the Home Economics class are preparing themselves for the valuable services they will give as our country's first teachers, and for building the happy home which is every girl's dream. As they sew, cook, can, and preserve jams and jellies, it's more than just a class-it's the future. Susan Sexton chose purple as feature color in the tasteful bedroom she designed and constructed for advanced homemaking class. Sophomore seamstresses add finishing touches to attractive cottons. Mr. DeGroat's Driver Training class, Eugene Wechter, Mike O'Kelly, Leroy Phillips, Jim Syfert, and Jerry laving-ston, not only learn, but apply safedriving rules. A Sound Mind And A Sound Body When President Kennedy stated The Strength of our Democracy is no greater than the collective well-being of our people , he was echoing Plato's belief that Physical fitness and mental fitness go hand in hand. In our P. E. classes, we proved daily that we have not become a nation of spectators . The vigorous program includes volleyball, tumbling, baseball, basketball, speed-away, football, track, and badminton. Not only are these sports body-building, but they are a refreshing break in a day of study. Future gymnast or frustrated monkey? Languages Span Centuries and Continents Obedient slaves offer delicacies to famished patricians. Barber Bob Welch shaves Monsieur Steve Slay-maker in French class play. i if Magistra Leisure reclines Roman-style. Mr. Gayle sets recorder for French dialogue dictation. In this shrinking world, the closest thing we have to a common language is classical Latin, the basis for so many modern forms. Forgetting its practical values for awhile, the Latin students re-create each year the age of Caesar, in a sumptous banquet, before they return to conjugations and sentences structure. French, the language of diplomats, is also a cultural language. As a modern tongue, correct pronunciation is necessary. This year's French class's have checked their speech and comprehension by recitation and taking dictation from French tapes. Tomorrows' Business People Train Today Typists Phillis Heffley and Janet Stock are poised for ready signal. One wrong number can throw a day's work out of balance, so Beverly Sell and Judy Brunner concentrate mightily. No office can function without its secretary or bookkeeper. Many students realize this, and they have enrolled in our school's commercial courses, Typing I, Typing II, Shorthand, Secretarial Practice, Bookkeeping, and Business Law. Participation in these classes enables a student to face future jobs with confidence in their ability to cope with actual business situations. The department is equipped with the most fascinating, up-to-date machines, that make the course not only educational but fun. Bookkeeping class works diligently even on a sunny Spring morning. Skilled Workers — A Premium Today Everybody needs some type of skill, whether it is used as an avocation or a profession. The boys who take part in the Industrial Arts program are providing themselves with just such an asset. Woodworkers shape beautiful and useful objects that show their understanding of their raw material and tools. Metal shop accustoms students to welding and working with many complicated shop machines. General Mechanics is a course of application of the principles involved. These classes offer an outlet for artistic feelings, tinkering tendencies, and they give a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. Three years, three individual lives, but one student body. To the community, we are all Coquille High School students, and we are proud of that name. Yet, we are just as proud of our separate standing as superior Seniors, energetic Juniors, and up-and-coming Sophomores. Seniors Crowd Days Worlds' Fair-bound, Rick Gould, Steve Armstrong, and Lenny Martin kibitz while Ed Leatherwood searches frantically for the required snap shot. CLAYTON, B...

The things we have done together—working closely, hoping mutually, sharing the glory, fun, and cleanup afterwards. We soon discover that it takes a whole group, co-operating, to make a really big impression, whether it is shouting Coquille High at a game or singing Handel's Messiah in choir. In a group, one idea will spark another, and we learn to blend and contribute, leading or supporting, where we are best able, but, above all, to join in and give something of ourselves to create the master work.

A highlight of the year and a challenge for the F. H. A. members was the District F. H. A. Meeting held here. The careful planning and beautiful execution paid off and it was a great success.

The week's activities were climaxed by the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance complete with Marry in' Sam, outhouse, and mounds of hay. Both mothers and girls always look forward to the Tea. This year's was a delight for both. The theme of the World's Fair was executed colorfully in decorations and programs.

Under the direction of Mr. Rube Puterbaugh, the Thespian department presented Manny's Lil Wild Rose, a rollicking comedy of mountain life as candid as Mammy's bloomers hanging on the clothesline. The play took place in the hills of Virginia and is centered around the life of Rose, the orphan of a mountain woman and a man from the city. As her mother was wooed by a city man, so was Rose. The young man, Daniel French was so completely captivated with the simplicity and honesty of Rose that he fell in love with her. Thus, this was their courtship with the mountain atmosphere lending a comical hand. The warmth and humor of the play came from the characterizations of Mammy and Uncle Joe. Babe Joan and Orpheus kept hillbilly action and assents. The rest of the cast aided in presenting a somewhat unbelievable yet greatly delightful background. Dat ol' black man o' mine.

Devilrieties 62M was the Band departments' greatest effort this year. The talent was varied and had everything from a trampoline act to a jazz band. The Devilaires were again reliable for providing snappy music for the rally squad at basketball games. The Concert Band strutted their stuff on the field at football games in clean-cut precision and also played for the rally. The dance band played for after game dances. The Great Pretender Terry King and crew of John Miller, Dan Fish, and Don Dickey belt it out at the Devilrieties for '62. — Exuberance Unmatched, Spirit The absence of those ecstatic freshmen by no means reduced the spark and explosive enthusiasm set off by the 1961-62 Pep Club. Catchy and even far-out hand motions, done in red and white gloves, enlivened the red outfits which were accented with a perky devil emblem. Functioning together, they were snappy and striking. Each member was a part of the whole, an important part. The State A-2 Tournament provided the girls with a chance to show. Combinations of one red, one white glove, and alternating red and white rows of gloves added variety and set-up -in-your-seat attention to a pep club Coquille High could really be proud of.

Moreover the Devils ranked ninth among the A-2 football teams. In addition 1961 was a year of many honors for many Devil gridmen, notably Frank Haffner, who won the lone Devil berth on the first team District squad. Season Summary Seven different Devils scored as Coquille whipped Douglas, 48-0, in the season opener. Sparked by Frank Haffner's three touchdowns, the Red Devils came from behind the upend Reedsport by a 34-13 count. Carter's Comets over whelmed the inferno men in the first half, then held off a resurgent band of Devils later and won 25-7. In a bonecrunching game Coquille battle A-l North Bend through four quarters only to fall by the margin of two missed p.a.t. 's, 14-12. Surviving a listless first half, the Devils fashioned their first conference win of the season with a 21-13 conquest over Brookings. Alternating tailbacks Ron Stein and Pat Shely ran roughshod while the satans muffled the Pirates and Coquille defeated Pacific, 48-0. Turning Panther errors into touchdowns, the Red Devils boomed on to a 39-0 win over Gold Beach. While the Devils offense got stuck in the mud, Bandon and their swift backs ran away to a 19-7 victory. One explosive play doomed the Devils to a third place finish as Myrtle Point set down the Red Devils and their fine defensive with some rough defense of their own and won 6-0 in a real he art-breaker. Legs driving, Haffner pushes himself toward the goal line. Martin sweeps end for a substantial gain. Left to right: Mgr. G. Mast, G. Cullum, D. Kastberg, E. Leatherwood, H. Middleton, D. Dickey, G.

The S Squad of Stein, Stonecypher, and Sisk swished the nets for 45 points and that proved more than enough as Coquille defeated Newport by a 68-33 count. The Coquille Red Devils hung on grimly through a rocky first half, then came on strong to set down Seaside, 61-44. Using their superior bench strength to full advantage Coquille rambled past Reedsport to a 62-47 victory. The Red Devils ran away to a 51-31 lead in the third quarter, but staggered in to a 58-48 win over North Bend after a ragged fourth quarter. The victory machine that had been working so well earlier suddenly struck a snag against Newport as the Devils lost 66-59. The Devils continued their pre-league woes when they traveled to the Holiday Tournament at Pleasant Hill. Here the Devils, with several players hampered by the flu, dropped Friday's tilt to Cottage Grove by a 68-58 score and then were buried 79-53 by Pleasant Hill the next night. A magnificent 22 point performance by Ron Stein was not enough to end the Red Devils' swelling loss skein as Marshfield dropped the Devils, 60-45. In the league opener Coquille, led by the clutch shooting of George Stonecypher and Pat Shely, came from behind to conquer Myrtle Point, 59-45. Stonecypher's 19 rebounds and 22 points paced the Devils to a 72-62 win over the O. C.E. Frosh. Ron Stein scored 12 of his 24 points in the first quarter and Gold Beach never recovered as the Devils' fastbreak rolled past the Panthers to a 68-50 conquest. Scoring at a rapid pace, Coquille ran away to 48-20 first half lead, then coasted in to a 71-40 victory over the Bruins of Brookings. Increasing their margin in each quarter, Coquille sped past Pacific and notched a 66-37 win. In a hard fought contest, the Red Devils barely edged a hot Bandon squad, 55-53. Although outscored in all but one quarter, Coquille's 21-6 second quarter advantage proved enough and the Devils posted a 62-55 conquest over runner-up Myrtle Point. Their fast-break working at peak efficiency, Coquille buried Gold Beach under a 46 point second half effort and won, 82-53. Ron Stein hit 31 points as the Devils bombarded the Brookings' defense for a 79-60 win. Shooting at an impressive 52% clip, Coquille left the conference ranks to hang a 70-59 defeat on the O. C.E. Frosh. Hitting 9 of 14 from the field, Mike Sisk led the Devils to a 71-48 romp over the Pacific Pirates. The Sunset Crown already clinched, Coquille prepared for tourney tilts with a 76-50 win over Bandon. Ron Stein's 20 foot swisher with four seconds left pushed the driving Devils to a come from behind win over Serra Catholic in the A-2 Tourney opener. Pleasant Hill, eventual champions, buried the Devils with awesome size and speed as they won 74-58. The Red Devils captured third place as George Stonecypher hit 11 of 15 from the field to pace the Devils to a 71-62 win over the Eagle Point. With this game Coach Paul Greig's powerful Devils closed out the long season with a 19-5 record. Team Captain Mike Sisk accepts third place trophy. A-2 Tourney First Team: G. Galbraith (M), R.

The Coquille Golf Team failed to win a match in the year of its inception, but still showed promise for future years. Under the direction of Coach Paul Snider, the Devil linksmen participated in three matches during the year, all of which were against Marshfield. As for its practice rounds, the team split its time between the Coquille Elks Course and the Coos Country Club. The squad, comprised of six Sophomores and one Junior, can look toward a better year in 1963 with aid from the incoming Sophomores and with no losses from graduation. C.H.S. Nine Compiles 9-5 Record The Coquille Red Devil Baseball squad completed the 1962 season with an improved 9-5 record and were in contention for the League Crown until quite late in the season. Coach Bill Vlcek's team showed noticeable improvements in nearly everything, especially hitting, where the Devils raised their team batting average over the . 241 mark. Also praiseworthy was the fine Devil pitching staff which gave up slightly over three runs a game. On the personnel side Ron Stein was selected as an All-Star on the Sunset Six Squad, while Tom Leather-wood and Charlie Anderson were picked for the Honorable Mention list. Ron Stein strides into the ball with a powerful swing. Devil ballplayer hustles down the line.

The Red Devil Track Squad remained the class of the Sunset Six in 1962 as they easily overwhelmed all other competition at the District Meet at Coquille. Outside of the District, the Devils took a fourth in the Hayward Relays, captured a third in the County Meet behind two A-l schools, and defeated A-2 runner-up Reedsport in a triangular meet. Throughout the season Coach Clyde Townsend's thin-clads were paced by Seniors Mike Sisk, Terrell Clarke, Frank Haffner, and George Stonecypher. Moreover, Sisk and Clarke set school records in their respective specialties, the 100 yard dash and the 440 yard dash. Stonecypher soars skyward to a win in jole vault. J.V. Squads Prepare For Both J. V. Squads rolled through successful seasons in 1962 and these successes give rise to high hopes for a continuation of the high level of athletics at CHS. Although completly comprised of Sophomores, the Junior Varsity football squad broke even against formidable opposition, gaining a 3-3 won-lost record. The squad averaged three touchdowns a game in 1961 and four from the squad gained a varsity letter also. Running up a respectable 14-5 record, the basketball team gained rich experience and sharpened their growing skills under the watchful eye of Coach Lee Kingham who also served in the same capacity during the football season.

C” Club Has Busy Year The C Club, open to all boys who have received a varsity letter at Coquille High, had an eventful year in 1961-62. As a gift to the school President Ed Leatherwood and his crew of fellow athletes constructed the little demon , a smiling, devilish wooden mascot which is hung in an exalted spot in the gym.
