Mrs. Wisby has announced her retirement from teaching to travel with her husband, and to also take care of her home and yard. Mrs. Wisby started teaching at Coquille in 1950. She spent two years teaching in the old building. She quit and returned teaching in 1962, when she continued to teach Math. When asked what she would remember about her teaching career, she stated she has always liked the school and the town of Coquille. The students, the faculty, and the towns people have always been friendly. She feels that the kids of today have not really changed that much from around thirty years ago. They just do different things but they are still all good kids. In 1965, she was Senior Class Advisor. During Homecoming Week, a new event began. It was the Senior Class Car Smash. In 1966, she was Senior Class Advisor. They took first place in the sign-making contest. In 1968 and 1970, she again was Senior Class Advisor for these two classes. 1971 was the final year that she was a class advisor for the Seniors. The Class of '71 took first place honors in both the sign-making and float contest for Homecoming Week. Coquille High School is losing a good and well applied teacher. If she is home when needed, she will return to Coquille High School as a Math substitute teacher. All of us at Coquille High School, wish Mrs. Wisby a happy retirement.

The Devils had a very consistant offense, we could always put points on the scoreboard. The team members worked as hard as any Red Devils in the past. The Devils didn't get the breaks we needed and didn't seem to get discouraged; they kept coming back. This is proven in the comeback at Crater, a AAA school, when the Devils lost by one, in overtime. Mr. Klemm was quoted as saying, Let us remember the 1973 season for its good things-victories over Bandon, Myrtle Point and a 2nd place finish in league. We are the king of the valley for 1973 in football.

They won all eight of the games they played, keeping four of their opponents scoreless. In these games they beat Myrtle Point 14-0, Reedsport 8-0, the North Bend Sophomores 22-0, and Siuslaw 43-0. As Coach Trathen and Coach Christensen said, The J.V. team went undeafeated; they were 8-0; they showed tremendous improvement for a young ball club. The highlight of the year was when they beat Marshfield soundly, because they showed temendous team effort with the help of outstanding people. Such as Dean Wilson and Ken Carlson at fullback, Spike Perry (when we had him), and Jim Kistner. Also, we had Ron Minard and Kelly Morgan in the backfield. On the line we had Mark Ayotte as tight end who was the leader all year long, Bob Allison, defensive tackle; Rod Hampton, offensive center; Dennis Backman; Mike Shrader; and Dennis Fults who was good defensively along with Steve Patzer as Defensive halfback. They had an outstanding year and we are proud of them and we hope that they will take state next year.

With the help of his defenders, the Devil ball carrier burroughs through the opponents for some yardage. The Freshmen had a good season despite some adverse conditions. There were many injuries which, of course, hurt the team to some extent. Coach Luoto said, the kids blocked and ran excellently on most occasions. This is proven by some of the scores they ran up while keeping their opponent scoreless. In most cases where their opponent was able to score the young Devil team outscored them 2 to 1. Coach Luoto also said, our defense was great with outstanding pursuit and tackling of the ball. The best offensive and defensive combination came when the Devils played an unbeaten Joe Lane team from Roseburg. The coach's final comment on his team was, there is a lot of talent in the freshman class and I feel much will be heard about them in the near future. Cross country takes third in district Coquille High cross country program started the season with a large turnout of eighteen boys and ended the season the fourteen boys. The success by the cross country team was very good considering that the top four runners were sophomores and one senior . According to Coach Phillips the season started very slow but by district he was very satisfied and impressed with all his team and their performances. Coquille ran consistently as the number three team in the league following Myrtle Point very closely. Myrtle Point was the tenth best team in the state and Brookings, who is also in our league, were state champions; this making our league very tough. The outstanding runner for Coquille, and all-league selection, was sophomore standout Ken Martin. Coach Phillips is looking for an outstanding cross country team in the coming years because on the young boys involved this year. Greg Rodenburg strides out during the meet.

Gordon Hobson puts the pressure on his foes shoulders. Kip Courtright moves out for the takedown. As he strains, Rod Hampton puts everything he has into winning this match. Success in any program can be marked by the enjoyment felt through the year. 1973-74 was one of those seasons. With a varsity record of 20-6 this would have to be termed a successful season. Although we were 2nd in league in dual meet competition the team was 1st in district because of the efforts of 16 wrestlers placing between 1st and 4th. From district, 9 qualified for state, they were: Jerry Lyman, Kip Courtright, Gordon Hobson, Rod Hampton, Pete Gil key, Jeff Benham, Joe Newton, Bob Anglin and Bob Fults. Of this group Bob Fults was 3rd, Jerry Lyman was 4th, Kip Courtright was 5th and Gordon Hobson was 6th at state. These wrestlers and the others winning matches gave us a 6th place in the state. A great year with great people. 63 “A great bunch of guys” says Coach Schultz Those who qualified for the State Tournament were: Bob Fults, Kip Courtright, Bob Anglin, Jeff Benham, Coach Schultz, Dewey Gilkey, Coach Johnson, Rod Hampton, Jerry Lyman, and Gordon Hobson. 64 With much determination, Terry Russell lifts his opponent.

With a record of 9-13, the Devils looked impressive in the games they did win. Coquille travelled to Glide to bring home a 57-50 victory over the Wildcats, and then make it two straight when Glide came to Coquille to be beaten by the Devils 71-64. Playing with a mixture of Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, Coquille pulled off a 65-53 upset victory over the conference leader Brookings. The Spirit and enthusiasm at the pep assembly carried on to the game that night. All who attended the game, CHS students, players, and the public, displayed so much spirit that there was no way Coquille could have lost. The Devils also looked good with a 66-60 win over Bandon. Again Coquilie's spirit and enthusiasm were Just two much for Bandon. This year Coach Ken Trathen has handed in his resignation as coach. While coaching, he has compiled a 78-44 record as well as taking the 1971, 72, 73 teams to the Tournament; in 72 they also won the consolation championship.

Luoto, Joe Slack, Brian Walsh, Ken Martin, John Davenport, and Manager Mike Schrader and Ken Carlson. What this years J.V. team lacked in heighth they made up for with determination and hustle. Coach Klemm stated, this team played with more determination than previous teams and consequently their record reflects it . Their overall record was 17 wins and 5 losses, with four of the losses occuring very early in the season. For the first time in seven years the J.V.'s were undefeated in league play with 12 wins. Top scorers for the J.V. Devils were Ken Carlson with 249 points and Ken Martin with 242 points. Mike Schrader was top rebounder with 181. After the Freshman Basketball seasons was over, Jeff Rodenburg and Chris Am ling were brought up to play with the J.V.'s. Spike Parry, Mike Schrader, Ken Martin, Steve Hammer, and J.C. Luoto also played some Varsity Basketball. Though the J.V.'s were talented they were inexperienced as a whole. Therefore they had to work harder to achieve their goals. As the season progressed their teamwork improved which greatly aided their abilities as a team. In another comment of this team Coach Klemm said, the J.V.'s will provide a good nucleus for next years Varsity Team.

The Varsity Team, with a record of 7-1, was invited to the first Girls Basketball Tournament in Oregon, held March 29 30 at Portland State University. Coquille was one of 3 A A schools there, the rest were AAA. Coquille played 3 games, winning the first against Grant, then lost to Springfield Centennial. Coach DeBoard felt that the tournament experience was good for the girls and it will show for future improvement for girls basketball in Coquille the State of Oregon.

The outstanding performer was Debbie Martin winning first for the Coquille team. Other members were Joan Berge, Audrey Cunninghm, Renee Foster, Rhonda Foster, Cathy Jones, Jo Anne Sackett, and Christinia West.

Coach Larry Phillips felt that Coquille had one of its more successful track seasons with only one loss in nine dual meets. Also, they participated in several Invitational meets throughout the state. In the district meet, held at Brookings, Coquille placed 3rd. Seven team members qualified for the State meet in Eugene. These were: Senior Dennis Shields in the high hurdles, low hurdles, and mile relay; Freshmen Steve Hammer in the mile relay; Sophomore Mike Schrader and Junior Mark Gangwer in the mile relay; Sophomore Dean Wilson in the 100 yard dash, sophomore Jim Kistner in the low hurdles, and junior Mike Shaul in the pole vault. Mark Gangwer showed outstanding performance in the 440 yard run all through the season. He came close to breaking the school record and was an important factor to the mile relay team. He ran into some bad luck at district where he had to scratch in the 440 because of two false starts. He is a hopeful for next year's track team. Junior Mark Claver was an outstanding performer this year in the 220, mile relay, and 440 yard relay. He was sick for district so didn't have a chance to qualify for state. He will be an important part of next years track as a senior Only three seniors are leaving the track team this year. They are Dennis Shields, Kelly Pinkley and Mitch Morgan. They all did a fine job this year and will be missed next year. This year's track team was young, but will be prepared for a good season next year.

Everyone dressed up in old fashioned clothing and did their best to recall the good old Olden days. The traditional hat and clash day was a success again this year. Students wore anything from a motorcycle helmet to a flowered easter bonnett. Clothes were clashy and original, but some of them didn't look too out of place with today's anything goes styles. Red and white were the colors to be seen on Spirit day where the school colors were worn and spirit was shown.

Cheaper by the Dozen , the November production of the Drama Department, was a humorous portrayal of the life of a large American family in the 1920's. Though it was unknown to his children, Mr. Gilbreth was suffering from a fatal disease. To make the best use of the time he had left, he worked at getting his children to grow up fast. Mr. Wiese, the director, commented on the play by saying, Cheaper by the Dozen was one of the most successful productions this school has ever had. I feel that we accomplished more than a 3-act production. We became a family in the 1920's. Those people people behind the scenes also responsible for the success of the play were: Assistant Director; Barbara Warden, Sound; Candy Moore, Lights; Julie Hill, Props; Barbara Warden, Tickets; Velda Arnaud and Debby Crockett, Posters; Lauren Hatcher, Programs; Janice Torbeck and Director and Stage; Mr. Lorar, Wiese.

A committe was formed and plans got underway. It was decided to hold the prom at the Coquille Valley Elks Lodge. The South-westers, a band from South Western Oregon Community College, was picked to provide the music. The dance was held on Saturday night, April 20. Refreshments were provided by the senior class and consisted of german chocolate cake and punch. Each table was decorated with a candle and had nut and candy dishes. Mr. Ernie Rollins was there to take pictures of anyone who was interested. A Special area was set up for him. During the prom Debbie Jones was crowned Queen, and presented with roses.

This year, the council lobbied to have machines put in again, under the condition that they be locked during the lunch hour. In addition, a jukebox was installed with the machines down by the wood and metal shops. A temporary lounge was established at the site of the machines. The school board considered cutting the class day to only six periods, and requiring every person to take six full classes. A survey was taken of all students and an overwhelming number of people requested seven classes. The school board decided to retain the seven period policy. Student government can either be just an organization, or one that presents needs of the student body, to administrators and townspeople. The ABS council of 1973-74 has worked for the students to the best of it's ability.

Student Erti Sinan at home in Coquille Erti added a big boost to the high school's athletics as he participated in both football and wrestling. Erti Sinan, 18, is this year's foreign exchange student. Erti comes from West Berlin, West Germany. Erti was born in Bursa, Turkey and is the oldest of three children. His younger brother is thirteen and his sister is two. His father operates a crane in West Berlin and his mother is a foreman in a chocolate factory. While a senior at Coquille High, Erti is a sophomore at Ranke Gymnasium at home. The education system in West Germany is not like the one here. There a student must go to primary school first and then either Middle School or Gymnasium-or all three. They have to go to school for thirteen grades and each grade lasts ten months. Erti is staying with the Benham family and says he likes them very much. His family is Mr. Benham, Mrs. Benham, Jeff Benham, age seventeen, Willie Benham age fifteen, Lydia, age eleven, and Connie, age nine. I'm not really homesick, said Erti, because the Benhams have made a good home for me. Soccer is the main sport in West Germany. Erti has played on many different clubs. While here at Coquille High Erti participated in football on the Varsity level and Wrestling on the Junior Varsity level. C.H.S. students found Erti to be a good friend. 128 When the other American Field Service students came to C.H.S. they found Erti to be friendly and willing to introduce them to the school and students. They enjoyed their visits at C.H.S. very much. Debbie and Alida laugh as Erti (legs on left) is voted by a large majority of the students as Best Legs of the School .

Then they went out and set up the Blood Mobile for the Red Cross in March. Next they went around town and redecorated the city library; then made a community calendar and collected for the heart fund. Then 7 members went to Seattle for the annual Key Club Convention. Tim Ellison was elected Lt. Governor of the local Key Club Division. This summer they are going to send a child to Camp Easter Seal. And if any downtown merchants donate paint, the Key Club will gladly paint their buildings. 130 Club members collected for the Oregon Heart Association.

Under the leadership of Mr. Short and Mr. Johnson, the Coquille Chess Club, known as the Knightly Devils, had a great year. The club began the first school chess tourney. There was close competition, but Chuck Carnahan became the new CHS chess Champion. With completion of the next tournament, Richard Dionne became triumphant. But in the third tourney. Rich had to step down and let a newcomer, Marcus Lee, achieve the title of CHS Chess Champion. On January 11, 1974, Coquille had a match with nearby North Bend. Though the outcome was never in doubt, they won it with flying colors. Their first year as a club, has set a record that will be hard to beat. The CHS Chess Club Motto says it all- When our foes are many and our opponents rough, the Coquille Chess Club does get tough. 131 Future Homemakers of America Adviser Mrs. Rundberg poses with the twenty-five members of F.H.A.

The club held several frozen candy bar sales to bring up the treasury. With their funds they held a Christmas party at a pizza parlor and a baking party. The club held another raffle for the Mothers Tea. This time they raffled off pillows. Quilt sewing bees, held in the sewing room, were enjoyed by the members. 132 Student Action for Education Standing: Donna Muir, Cindy Grimm, Vicki Barbee, Jean Lusby, Pres. Karen Sandmann, Sec.

Student Action for Education is a new name to the list of clubs for CHS. It is a reformed version of Future Teachers of America. When the Oregon Education Association dropped its affiliation with FTA, the state officials reorganized the statewide club under a new constitution into SAE. Our school chapter followed suit. This year the club drafted and passed a new constitution and new officers when changing from FTA to SAE. The club made over $100 in funds. One of the many fun projects for money was a popcorn ball sale. Their club projects included flannel boards for each first grade in the district and a spring visitation to different teachers of their choice. The club sent Marsha Reull to the state convention as a candidate for state Sec. and she came back the winner. SAE members go to state convention at George Fox College, Newberg. 133 National Honor Society hosts 32 members Greg Rodenburg, Advisor Mrs. Liesure, Sandra Avery, Sec. Jackie St. Clair, Vice Pres.

Randy and Tom hurry as they try to make the up coming deadline for the paper. Journalism at CHS expanded this year from one semester to a sequential series ranging from basic reporting to editorial duties. Class size jumped from 10 to 16 and the DEVILS' TORCH was published ten instead of 7 times this year. Rookies and veterans toiled through the busy days on the fifteen-day cycles or sought out a safe spot on the option day. With the emphasis on quality, proofreading caused more than one student to mutter under his breath. The paper shortage forced the DEVILS TORCH to shrink in size but first-semester students made the change without missing a publication date during November. Nabbing the treasured black pens became an art for veterans and Tom Kreick's ability set the pace for his fellow reporters. Rookies quickly learned the details fo the cycle: completing ads, getting story assignments, putting together a short filler and the exacting work of proofing copy and paste up. Bonnie Tracy and Mark Ayotte found that phoning for facts can be time-consuming. 135 They may rest, and they’re seldom flat, maybe sharp, but— usually natural.

A. A. of the state of Oregon The Girls Athletic Association has over 60 members this year and was named state GAA of the year.

Coquille High GAA recieved a trophy for their efforts through the 1972-73 school year. They were viewed by the girls attending the state GAA convention. They performed a skit that depicted all the activities the home chapter had for the year. They also took part in a name tag contest and a scrapbook contest for which they received 2 second place ribbons. We extend a con graduations to the presidents that helped build the Coquille GAA which earned the award GAA of the year. Freshman initiation was held at the Coquille Communitv building where all the girls enjoyed skating. A few bumps and bruises were acquired but it was well worth it because there were refreshment downstairs afterward. On December 11th the Girls Athletic Association with the help of the Girls League held Daddy Date Night. The girls forgot about their boyfriends for one night and the dads left wives at home and together they went out for a night of good food and entertainment. The dinner was pot luck which was provided by the girls. Each girl brought either a main dish, salad, or desert. After the meal which was enjoyed by everyone, they worked off those extra pounds by playing basketball and volleyball. GAA also sponsored a slumber partyon May 3rd for all of its members. It was a night of lots of fun and little rest! The officers, their advisor, and a few other members travel to Stayton for the GAA state convention. 143 Gail Avery and her date enjoy Daddy-Date night.

Lauren Hatcher I he senior picnic: fun in the sun After weeks of discussion it was finally decided to have a senior picnic. It was held at Lake Cleawox at Honeyman State Park- a site which offers opportunities for swimming, football, baseball, sand dune climbing, and frisbee throwing. After an unusually wet spring, the seniors lucked out by having sunny weather-and they had the sunburns to prove it. This year's picnic was well chaperoned. Not only did some parents attend, but more teachers than usual were able to some. This gave the seniors more bodies to throw into the lake- and they didn't pass up the opportunity. Just before leaving Honeyman, all the sunburned Seniors pose for a picture.

Your Junior year is said to be your best. This year they proved it. The first week of school was Hello Week. The Juniors showed that they were back for another year by winning the bathtub contest. But, unfortunately they failed to show up for the tug-of-war. During football season they worked in concessions, just as every Junior class does. Cindy Glock was in charge of football concessions. With her help and the support from the rest of the class, they made a fine profit. Ann Kreick was the Junior Princess on the homecoming court. Ann and her escort Mark Farmer made a good representation of their class. In January they held their Junior Prom. The colors were blue and silver. Music was provided by Silver Hill. The prom court consisted of Queen Debbie Sanders and Princesses Cindy Cartwright and Kathy Norbo. There was a large turn out and everyone had a great time as well as fun. Next came Twirp Week. The Juniors had their own little Abner, Mark Emler. The Junior class also had the responsibility of decorating for Baccalaureate. Ending with sad but happy faces. And the queasiness of the coming Senior year. Junior Officers: Kneeling, Mr. Loren Wiese, advisor.

The first few months found them busily working on their homecoming float and sign making contest. The float was of a big red devil truck on a football field running over the tigers. The Sophomores won first place in both their float and their signs. One of the favorite signs was Ken Carlson's idea of a toilet paper roll with the words wipe 'em out written on it. The Sophomore homecoming princess was Jolene Morgan and her escort was Spike Parry. The class funds increased sizably with their magazine sales, a dance held after a Myrtle Point game, and a cake raffle. The total earnings for the Sophomore class was twice as much as they started out with. Class rings were ordered in February. Between the two styles of a rectangle and an oval, the oval won. Rings were ordered by about half the class. The Sophomore candidate for little Abner was Scott Williams. He competed against the other class candidates in a very comical tricycle race in which he showed off his great winning ability. Two new required classes introduced to the class were Personal Finance and Personal Health, both one semester courses. As Seniors they will take another semester of each class. Mr. Johnson, our advisor, gives his final comment for the year, It has been a great year and a lot of fun. Top Row: Joe Slack, President.

C. Luoto; Class Advisor, Mr. Jim Farmer; President, Bruce Engelgau; Sargent of Arms, Steve Hammer. The Freshmen started the year out by voting for Mr. Miss Hello. They were given a list of senior boys girls; they voted for one of each. The Freshmen placed fourth on their float and they had a long sign saying 'Hang em High Big Red'. For their money making projects they sponsored two dances, and they held cake raffles for the football games. They sold candy to add up the dollars for the freshmen class. For the class yells they won two spirit sticks showing that for the oncoming years they are going to be hard to beat. For the Christmas spirit the freshmen decorated the halls with mistletoe and the bells of Christmas. Mr. Farmer says that the class of '77 has been a very good class. The Freshmen tried their hand at making a float for 1973-1974. “Class of 77 Harold Amling Patty Anglin David Beck Coleen Blum John Andrist Dennis Briggs Teresa Caughell, Audrey Cunningham and friend enjoy sucker sale.
