Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1964 volume:

Superintendent Wayne MacMurray addresses board members as Principal Karl Schmidt looks on with interest. The administration supervising the progress of Coquille High School and its students has done much to make the 1964 school year a successful one. They encouraged and supported extra-curricular activities as well as the regular curriculum. 3 SCHOOL BOARD Chairman - Mr. Robert Wilson Under the direction of their newly appointed chairman, Mr. Robert Wilson, the School Board has strived throughout the year to make Coquille's schools run smoothly and effectively. 4 Mr. Ben Payne Mr. Wayne MacMurray Superintendent Mr. Cedric Cross Mr. Myron Gurney Mr. Fred Marineau Mrs. Ann Dotter Mr. Tom Drake 5 Doug Henry looks for material in the counselors1 file. Mrs. Watson checks over student’s work. Mrs. Watson and Mr.King managed to serve the C. H. S. student body as exceJlent counselors, teachers, and philosophers.

STUDENT COUNSELORS Before talking it over with Mr. Schmidt, matters were questionable. 7 COQUILLE HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Not pictured Mrs. Griggs Miss Olsen Mrs. Beecher Mrs. Carlstad Mr. DeGroat Mrs. Ellery Mr. Grieg Mr. Hedeen Mr. McDowell Mr. Snider Mr. King Mrs. Nothwang Mr. Townsend Mr. Kingham Mrs. Osika Mr. Vlcek Mr. Kuhn Mr. Peak Mrs. Watson Mrs. Leisure Mrs. Pulvermacher Mrs. Wisby 8 Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Smith, Mr. Schmidt’s right and left hands, take time out to pose for a picture. Cu s t o d i a n Rubin Ley goes about his work with great vigor. These five skilful drivers must be commended for the efficient job they do in transporting us hither and yon. SCHOOL STAFF As always, the cooks are busy preparing a tasty lunch for C. H.S. 9 AFTER Work hard, but don't rack your brains. Gary Collins goes over his notebook to check for last minute corrections. ENGLISH CLASSES Quiet? Why naturally, they're juniors! Is English really that hard? Either these students are camera shy, or they're really working this time. Chris Schrader reports to the class, as Mrs. Griggs looks on with approval. 13 MATHEMATICS IN ACTION Work hard--Someone's watching! Mr. Kingham definitely has an art for holding the undivided attention of his math students. Intermediate math student looks interested but? 14 Smiling geometry students are hard at work on their next day's assignment. Mr. Kingham busily explains a trig function to Alg. II-Trig, students. SCIENCES 16 This physics trio has more hands than they know what to do with. Don’t bump, breathe, or talk. Those scales are mighty touchy. Steady now! We don't want it to unroll. Mary Pat checks the clock in eager anticipation of the bell. 17 WORLD HISTORY Bonnie Northup and Madge Hickam read on! Carol, get back to work! Mr. Peak chats encouragingly with a studious pair. Linda King dood 1 es; Bruce Freauff naps; Steve Herman relaxes; Gary Cook contemplated; and Kermit Allen is depressed. UNITED STATES HISTORY Mr. Clyde Townsend addresses his students with traces yet of military bearing. FRENCH AND LATIN The warm spring sun doesn't seem to distract these energetic students. 20 French experts demonstrate their abilities. Latin students study and dream of their Roman Banquet. Ho! Ho! Ho! And a spool of tape recording for Mr. Peak's French students. 21 22 Right paw, south paw! Here we go! 23 Commercial Law is an a bsor b i ng study. Are these family relations students fascinated or scared? MODERN PROBLEMS AND FAMILY RELATIONS Mrs. Leisure listens carefully to her students' explanations.

Watch the pole girls! DRIVERS’ TRAINING Mr. Ted DeGroat is the one and only faculty member who fulfills the qualifications of a driver-training instructor, in that he is made up of fifty per cent patience and fifty per cent nerve. 26 You may sit up now! We missed the tree. PHYSICAL Good posture and poise are displayed by Mrs. Jennie Ellery's P.E. class. 27 Future woodworking craftsmen go over their plans with humorous enthusiasm. WOOD SHOP You don't just start building something; every piece has to be accounted for beforehand. 28 Is this a puzzle or a project? There is a lot more to woodworking than a hammer and nails. METAL SHOP No, this isn't Mars revisited, but a hardworking students attempting to develop the art of welding. With many new and technical facilities in our metal shop, students may more readily widen their understanding of the skill. Sophomore Gary Waite accepts advice under the capable direction of Mr. Eldon Kuhn. 29 From the charging blow of an over-exuberant student to the friendship shared by the threesome below, all three classes of our student body contributed their own varied types of school spirit. 31 Senior class officers: (left to right) Karen Matejka, treasurer; Donna Sanders, secretary; Dave Wood, president; Gary Rother, vice-president. The seniors have excelled in every phase of sports, scholarship, and activities. Individuals have made great contributions to their class as a whole.

Other events were a candy sale and a dance. The money received from these projects has been put away for the Junior Prom next year. The sophomores finished the year by ordering class rings.

Young 59 Most students will agree that the selection of activities in Coquille High School has a wide enough range to provide something of interest for everyone. Participation in school organizations helps to develop the qualities of leadership, initiative, and dependability in the members of the various clubs. Along with development of character, students also take pleasure in companionship with their fellow club members. The clubs and organizations in Coquille High provide such projects and recreation for students seeking a little freedom from the bonds of school work. Those Seniors--always working so hard. Looks like Cheryl Thomas is asleep on her feet. Watch out, Norma! You're about to be robbed of your masking tape! Juniors used holly, snow, and mistletoe to bring Christmas spirit into the north hall. It’s a tense moment for Bob Welch as he wields a can of snow with great dexterity while decorating the Christmas tree for the center hall. 62 Nominated by the football team and voted on by the student body, these smiling girls are members of the 1963 Homecoming Court--Princesses Joyce Johnson and Norma Atwell, Queen Nancy Caughell, and Princesses Renee Marineau and Karen Austin. Pictured below are Queen Norma Atwell and her escort, Dave Wood, as they reign over the 1963 Junior Prom. i Mrs. Lowery Griggs A new faculty member is inevitably faced with adjusting to an unfamiliar school. Mrs. Lowerey Griggs has done this and much more in her first year at Coquille Nigh School. Heading the sophomore English and Journalism departments, Mrs. Griggs has been successful in maintaining quality in educational achievement.

Striving for academic excellence is the goal of the National Honor Society. It strives to give recognition to those students who have displayed the qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service in their high school activities. Twice yearly induction and initiation arc held to honor those showing these qualities. The fall ini ta it ion was held in the library and die spring one was held in front of the entire student body. At this initiation, sophomores were tapped as probationary members also.

Hampered by poor weather conditions and the loss of several fine yardage gainers by graduation, Mr. Bill Vlcek was faced with much more than coaching the Red Devils through another football season. The task of preserving high morale in the community, student body, and the team, which was taking more than its share of the bumps, was the burden Bill Vlcek shouldered in the 1963 gridiron season.

It was said by certain observers that some of these runners discovered a few convenient shortcuts.

Since no other Sunset League team outscored Coquille. the Red Devils obtained the first place trophy. Mr. Clyde Townsend is shown here in his usual starting stance. Handling the Cross Country program in the fall, and Track in the spring is enough to keep anyone's hands full. Mr. Townsend, who has spent many years at Coquille High School, has developed the present cinder sports only through his personal interest and hard work. 91 ROW ONE: C. Schrader, C. Johnson, C.

Snider battles for a rebound as Pirates close in. Dave Wood completes a fast-break play. And they say football is rough. Brice executes a graceful ballet step to avoid a fairing Bobcat. His eyes scanning the practice floor for errors, Mr. Paul Greig surveys his Red Devil hoopsters as they prepare for the coming weekend games. Scrutinizing every facet of basketball, from training to the individual attitudes of each player, Mr. Greig has developed a well-coordinated team, both on and off the floor.
