WEST World History ACADEMICS New English Program A major turnover was seen in the English Department at C.H.S. this year. The English course was divided into writing and literature classes. Expository I, Expository II, Research and Report Writing, and Remedial Grammar were offered as the writing classes. Dramatic Tragedy, Short Story, Novel, Poetry, and Drama were offered in the literature course. The new English system was open only to juniors and seniors. The sophomores were constrained to the English II classes, which were taught by Mr. Brentlinger and Mrs. Leisure. Mrs. Carlstad taught Expository I, Remedial Grammar, and Dramatic Tragedy the first semester. She was to teach Poetry the second semester if enough students signed up for the class. Mrs. Nothwang taught Novel, Short Story, Research and Report Writing, and Expository II. Mrs. Osbum taught Drama the second semester. The students have enjoyed the new English program as much as the teachers. It has given each individual a chance to develop further in those areas that they enjoy and need improvement. This group of Expository I students listen to Mrs. Carlstad's instructions for the day, then gather in small groups to read each others paragraphs. 10 Instituted In C.H.S Mark recites Shakespeare's immortal works. This lively group of Remedial Grammar students listens attentively to Mrs. Carlstad. Steve Ramberg seeks advice from Mrs. Nothwang in Research and Report Writing. The Ever-Changing World Lorrie Hobson and Steve Laue prepare slides for observation. Lois Pearce looks doubtfully at the spec- imens under her microscope. The Science Department prepares the student for an ever-changing world. Living in a space age demands that the student have a better background in the sciences. Biology I is a class mainly made up of sophomores. It gives the student his first chance to work in a lab. This lab work teaches the student to work more on his own, not to be spoon fed by the instructor. During the year the Biology I class studies evolution, plant and animal life, chemical changes, and reproduction. Biology II is the further study of Biology. It requires that the student take chemistry before he takes this course, thus the students are usually seniors. Mr. Klemm is the teacher of Biology I and Biology II classes. The chemistry teacher is Mr. Schultz and he has chemistry classes made up of juniors and seniors. The chemistry students go farther into experimenting with different chemicals. They learn to be more observant of these experiments as the year progresses. During these experiments the student is supposed to take down these observations and try to analyze his data. The Physics class is one of the highest levels of science offered at C. H.S. This course deals with the learning of the WHYS in science. All of the previous science courses are put to use so that an over-all picture of science is presented to the pupil. The instructor for the Physics course is Mr. Schultz. Demands Scientists This group of students tries their hand at Physics problems, while Mr. Schultz keeps order. Chemistry students take time-out from their experiments to pose for a picture. Mathematics - Useful And , Mathematics is getting to be an essential part of our highly technical world. Math is used by most people everyday, and the need for more knowledge in the math field is continually growing. A large variety of math classes are offered to the students of Coquille High. Those offered are general math, algebra I, geometry, algebra II-trigonometry, and advanced math. Algebra I, taught by Mr. Schultz, teaches mathematical ideas, whereas geometry, taught by Mrs. Wisby, uses construction. Algebra II-trigonometry combines these types of math with reasoning, into a more advanced class. Advanced math is for top students interested in further math education. Both algebra II-trigonometry and advanced math are taught by Mr. Kingham. Frances Deadmond demonstrates the use of a Algebra I students at work. protractor for drawing a pentagon. 14 Essential In Today’s World Mrs. Wisby passes out tests to her Senior math class. Everyone is busy at work while Lesa Hollaway stares intently. Algebra n-Trigonometry students exhibit their usual enthusiasm - only not for math! Language Students Study Hard Under the direction of Mrs. Leisure, Latin I students study in groups. New Drivers Learn Skills New drivers listen in earnest to Mr. DeGroat. Drivers Education, taught by Mr. DeGroat, strives at developing good driving habits of students at Coquille High. This includes classroom work and actual driving. During the semester the students learn how to control the car, use correct judgment, turn proper corners, and parallel park. A vote of thanks is given to Mr. DeGroat for his time and patience. New drivers training car being put through the test, a student driver. 17 Business Courses Develop The purpose in business education is to create a useful knowledge of business techniques. Any student regardless of his ability, may take general business to increase his knowledge of the business world. General Business gives the students an opportunity to discover if his interests lie in this field. Shorthand and Bookkeeping offer a more specialized training for the students interested in the business field. This prepares them for immediate employment or advanced study. Mr. Warner is the instructor for these courses. Typing I teaches the basic skills of typing to the students. This course is very valuable in that it helps students with their school work and with business letters for personal use. Typing II is a course established so that students mav advance their typing skills to aid them in future schooling and job employment. The course of Secretarial Practice is designed to give the students an opportunity to see and understand the business world. It ties together their previous business training so that the students can get a more practical view of secretary work. Mrs. Pulvermacher teaches these business courses. As Mary pampers the duplicator, Teresa has her doubts as to the outcome. Selina Ellenwood develops her skill on the electric typewriter. 18 Tomorrow’s Executives Ken takes time out to say, Hi! Typing students work diligently on their days work. Shorthand students take dictation from Mr. (BOSS) Warner. Future Homemakers 20 Acquire Canny Skills Mrs. Lorraine Ferguson has guided the home economic classes through another very successful year. She has put life into her classes by bringing forth new and beneficial ideas. The home economic classes are divided into three groups; basic, intermediate, and advanced. In the basic home economic classes the girls have studied many things such as; food preparation, food preservation, kinds of materials, selecting individual styles, clothing construction, and child development. The intermediate classes have studied such things as; pattern alteration, construction of wool and synthetic garments,foreign foods, special diets, food for entertaining, consumer buying and information, Household equipment, and continued study in child care. Advanced home economic students have been very busy studying flower arrangement, marriage and dating, meals for two, using available foods, marketing, seasoning of foods, home furnishings and planning, construction of wool and synthetic garments, clothing for children, and child development. Home economic classes help prepare the girls for the future by introducing them to proper techniques and ideas in homemaking. Poor Becki, She'll die when she finds out the dart is backwards. They sure don't make a simple shift like they used to. 21 Creativeness Is Found The metal shop class at C.H.S. is a two-year program, which is capably directed by Mr. Ron Ramsey. The first and second years vary in the size and kind of projects undertaken, as in wood shop. The students learn many different metal working skill, such as gas and arc welding, forging, sheet metal work, and foundry practices, amoung other interesting skills. The wood shop also has a two-year course, under the experienced able leadership of Mr. Paul Snider, who has taught this subject for some time, and enjoys his work immensely. The first year students learn to use basic tools and woodworking procedures to construct projects. The second year shop students start with some small required projects and then design a large one, by themselves, according to their abilities. The crafts class is also directed by Mr. Ramsey. Students learn plastic casting and laminating, leather work, wood carving, metal etching, and other arts. Gary Dunham planes away on his board. Both Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Snider are intensely interested and enthusiastic in their work, as is shown in their teaching. Mr. Ramsey demonstrates the use of his . , Bonnie Briggs, center, and her buddies show their ability at etch- new Dana saw. ings. 22 In Wood9 Metal, And Crafts Bill Hales assists Steve Furlong in riveting.

Paul Sprague and Glen Dyrland let the chips fly. 23 Current Events As Well As History Is Modern Problems students study current events in their Senior Scholastics, while Mr. King works at the desk. Human affairs, social attitudes and values, and the general knowledge of human relations are studied by the social education classes at Coquille High School. Social education is taught by all classes, rather than just in classes aimed at teaching social science. All classes at Coquille High School are designed to help the youth of today become mature and active citizens. A program to assure the development of the youth of today into citizens of tomorrow is taught to ail students. As the home shirks its responsibility of social education, more pressure is placed on the school to provide for social ed ucation courses. The school tries to teach all students to be personally responsible, mature adults, and civically minded. With this background the school tries to produce citizens that will be interested in national and international events. The Social Science Department of C.H. S. is made up of: World History, taught by Mr. West; U.S. History, taught by Mr. Townsend; Family Relations, taught by Mrs. Leisure; and Modern Problems, taught by Mr. King. Mr. West explains the necessity of reading the daily paper to keep up on the news of the world to his World History class. 24 Studied By Social Science Students Mr. Townsend rides herd on this wild bunchofU.S. History students. This group of U. S. History students is in deep thought, pondering the problems of days of old. 25 Physical As Well As Mental John Thommen, Mike Redman, Guy March, Ken Baker, and Doug Pritt watch in amazement as Steve Cannon and Jerry Camp aid Brian Ferry in his backward somersault on the parallel bars. Chuck Metcalf, Ron Dungey, and Bill Head wait in an ticipation for their team to recover control of the ball during an intramural game. Doug Pritt climbs the rope as part of his daily rou tine in Boys P. E. 26 Education Is Taught At C.H.S. Physical education at C. H. S. is essential in developing good health and muscle coordination. Activities in physical education department are football, speed-a-way, soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, tumbling, track, and baseball. Mr. Vlcek and Mrs. Ellery instruct the students in their physical education. They strive to teach their students the art of good sportsmanship and to work as a team. They try to teach their students how to play safely, to prevent injury to themselves or others, and good health habits. Running is part of the daily routine Everybody seems to be doing jumping-jacks, but Sandra Rogers realizes that in Girls' P. E. Mrs. Ellery isn't looking. 27 C.H.S. Offers Variety The choir practices diligently every day in order to provide various programs throughout the year. The band practices rigorously every day in order to provide concerts for the public and to accompany the choir. 28 Of Musical Classes Can you believe Tom Prince and Kent Brandon singing?

Walsie Edgemon serves at Washington School and also helps prepare the meals. Another cook is Dorothy Buckingham who serves the girls line. Gladys Bales, who has been head cook, was not present at the time the pictures were taken. Ivyl Frye stands with the fleet of buses that serve the Coquille District. Other drivers in the district are Minnie Dal-rymple, Ed Suthan, Holmer Provins, Dave Bolt, and Charles Melville. CLASSES Jim Warner Advises The class of '67 started out their last year by electing officers. President Tom Van Meter took charge and directed the voting on the style of announcements and the color of the caps and gowns. The main money-making project was the selling of magazine subscriptions. Although not too many participated, the money poured in. Ben Schafer and Steve Panter were the top salesmen. An after-game dance and the sale of booster buttons added to the senior treasury. The senior dance, picnic, baccalaureate, and graduation rounded out the busy year for the class of '67. President, Tom Van Meter; Representative, Daryl Houston; Secretary-Treasurer, Diane Marshall; and Vice-President, Jerry Raynor pose with Jim Warner, class advisor. The seniors decorated the main hall for Christmas. Many seniors attended and enjoyed the Junior Prom. 34 Class Of 1967 EARL ADAMS Football 1 CLIFFORD ASH Basketball 1,2; Cross Country 2,3,4; Wrestling 3; Key Club 2,3,4; N.H.S. 1,3,4; ASB V-P 3; Intramurals 1,2,3.

Student Body President. Hello Week activities were drawn up by Joni Meek, the chairman of Hello Week. Hello Week name tags were given out to the students on the first morning of school. Blue was for seniors, pink for Juniors, green for sophomores, and white for all members of the faculty. Everyone wore their name tag until Thursday. All morning and noon Thursday, we played a game of Who Am I? Tom Prince was the winner. He had collected the most number of name tags from those kids that he had guessed their name correctly. Bill Head won the Secret Sophomore Contest by saying hello the the sophomore whose name had been kept a secret.

Cheerleader Patty Harris, Pepsters Nancy Smith, Sharon Crowley, Cheerleader Patti Johnson, Pepsters Sharon Leather-man, Jackie Evenson, Susan Blanton, and Melody Hurrell. These girls have put in an enormous amount of time and hard work that is for the most part, unknown to the student body. What the students do see is their frenzied excitement at games, and the zany displays of humor at the pep assemblies. Little is said of the many hours of practicing, making signs and booster buttons, and the endless drive to arouse school spirit and boost the team. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to keep up the pace, week after week, but somehow an inner drive keeps them going. Maybe it's knowing they had a part in it, when the mighty Devils emerge victorious. 78 Spirit Prevails 79 Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Marshall and their daughter, Diane, provide a home for our foreign exchange student, Rita. Rita comes to us from Latacunga, Ecuador. 80 C.H.S. Honored By Rita Modern Problems proves to be a challange to Rita, as her understanding of English often confuses matters. Choir is one of Rita's favorite classes, for she loves to sing. Rita Penerherra flew from Ecuador to Miami and from there to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles she rode the bus to Portland, where she was met by the Marshall's. Rita enjoys living in the United States and in the Co-quille Valley. Rita is one of seven children. The eldest is a sister, 21. Her 19 year old sister was in New York last year as an AFS student. Two brothers, 15 and 13 go to high school. Her youngest sister started school in October, while her 4 year old brother is still at home. Her father is a chauffeur for a construction company in Quito, Ecuador's capital, and her mother is a sixth grade teacher. Rita is impressed with the interest of the United States in helping the small, underdeveloped countries. Rita finds U.S. History most interesting, because she enjoys learning the development of the United States as a country. 81 ASB Officers Are Active Associated Student Body Officers are Charles Boyer, President; Ron Dungey, Vice-President; Joni Meek, Secretary; Barbara Byrer, Treasurer; Ben Schafer, Business Manager.

The girls served the teachers a piping-hot breakfast. A slumber party kept the girls up all night. The Christmas party for the children was the joy of all FHA members. The look of excitement on all the little Cherub's faces when Santa Claus arrived gave their hearts an extra little lurch. C. H. S. was the host for the district meeting of FHA members this year. Trick or Treating for UNICEF was one of the service projects of FHA. They also sold ice cream to the delight of everyone in the school.

The Devils proved their might each week, all season long. The season opener established that the Devils were there to make their mark with a 28-0 win over Douglas. Coquille came out with their biggest offensive show of the season beating South Umpqua 53-0. Falling to Glide, but not without a struggle, Coquille was beaten by a score of 12-6. Bouncing back with three wins in a row, the Devils beat Brookings 20-0, Pacific 20-0, and Gold Beach 45-6. The Devils Homecoming game with Bandon showed the Devils determination, but when the final quarter ended the Tigers had the game with a score of 19-14. Outscored by the Myrtle Point Bobcats 12-6, Coquille came on strong the next week and walked all over Newport 12-0. Newport was quite a trophy for the Devils because they were the Coast League Champions, rated as fifth in the state, and had an undefeated season. Coquille placed close to the top of their league. When the final results were released Coquille had earned the second place berth in the Sunset Conference and placed tenth in the state football poll. Coquille High School owes an immeasureable amount of gratitude to the 1966 Football Team and to its new coach, Andy Klemm.

The JV squad under the coaching of Mr. Schultz won 4 games, lost 3, and was forfeited 1. Myrtle Point was the first game of the season and generally speaking the boys played a good game. The next game was with Gold Beach. A 20-0 lead at half time paved the way to victory. The highest defensive effort came in the game with North Bend. The officials were not in our end of the field during the Bandon game. A good effort was made in the Brookings game with Coquille leading 7-0 at the half. At the Marshfield game the young gridmen stood in awe and went down to defeat. Then came the Douglas game, a forfeit. The last game of the season with Pacific proved to be the outstanding offensive game and equally outstanding team effort. This squad should fill in quite well on the varsity next year. They are fine athletes and hard workers. 109 Fleet-Footed Men Cross Country Many miles are spent running each day by cross country men. Coach Townsend The 1966 cross country team did well considering that the squad was inexperienced. The small number of boys that turned out once again put a cramp on Coach Townsend’s hopes for a state tournament berth. As the season progressed, Mike Shields proved to be the number one runner on the squad. The team was handicapped when Tom Van Meter, the number two runner on the team, was disabled by an injury. Marvin Swenson proved to be the outstanding sophomore and one of the most consistent performers. Coach Townsend put the boys through a rigorous training course of four miles a day. They ran up and down hills, across fields and streams, and through the bushiest terrain possible. We give our warmest appreciation to these boys that represented our school in cross country. And to Coach Townsend, Coquille High wishes a big and successful squad next year. BACK ROW: Tom Van Meter, Gary Turner, Clifford Ash, Charles Boyer, and Alan McNair.

In its third year at Coquille High, wrestling has become one of our more popular sports. New this year is the coach, Mr. Schultz. With 35 wrestlers, of which 18 are seniors, experience is of great importance. More support has come from the student body this year, than has been shown in the other two years. To the delight of the wrestling team, the stands have been filled. Duane Gilbert clashes head-on with his opponent. Bill Clinton, are you alive in there?

WRESTLERS IN ACTION! 112 BACK ROW: Coach Kingham, Alan McNair, Rob Wakefield, Don Parker, Jack Nothwang, Rich Marineau, Ed Queen, Rich Walker, Jerry Raynor, Jim Hickam, Manager Jeff Marineau, and Jim Sanders. The Coquille Red Devils have displayed the spirit that is always prevalent during the 66-67 year. Tough league competition forced the mighty Devils to battle for each game. Arch rival Myrtle Point and the Tigers of Bandon are always tough. The southern teams of Brookings, Gold Beach, and Pacific always give the spectators a good game. Randy Yager, and Dave Glenz. FRONT ROW: Bill Metcalf, Randy Yager jumps against his opponent for control of the ball, while Jerry Raynor looks on intently.

Many of their games have been decisive in the last minute of the fourth quarter. Much excitement has been provided for all interested spectators by these preliminary games. Many of these JV boys will go on to make good varsity material next year. Enthusiastic rooters urge the junior varsity basketball team on to another victory.
