This is what the annual staff decided to do in this Bicentennial year. The introduction will have some of the history and pictures of early Coquille. The divider pages will show how Coquille High School was in its earliest years. Since we are all a part of all that has gone before us, we hope that you enjoy this look back into the past.

INTRODUCTION 7 Early Transportation The old meets the new. The railroad came to Coquille in 1893 and replaced the horses that had been used on the Old Wagon Road This is one ol the 4 horse stagecoaches that earned mail, freight and Oxen were once used to pull logs in Coos County in the early days oflogg passengers between Myrtle Point and Roseburg in the late 1800s. 8 INTRODUCTION Early Coquille History 1776 Two hundred years ago the Coquille Indians were living here-hunting and fishing and minding their own business. 1852 Gold prospectors had spread throughout Southwestern Oregon. 1854 A party of 40 miners attacked an Indian village down near the mouth of the Coquille River. Sixteen Indians were killed and the Indian agent called it a massacre . 1856 Most of the Indians who had survived the diseases brought by the white men and the wars fought to protect their land were removed to the Siletz Reservation to become farmers. 185? Ephraim Cunningham located a place at a creek that became known as Cunningham's Landing. 1864 Dr. S.H. Leneve bought the Cunningham Place. 1865 Titus Willard bought the site from Dr. Leneve with the intention of building up a farm (not a town). 1867 The first local school was built near Cunningham creek. The first teacher was a young man named Chester Rowell, who later became a physician in San Fransisco. 1871 Till Vowell (ateenagerof 19years)talked Titus Willard into letting him open a store. He also encourged him to start a town. 1872 Titus Willard laid out the first plat of the town, which contained only five blocks and was to be called Coquille City. 1875 The first steamer, The Myrtle, began regular runs up the Coquille river from Bandon. 1880 Diptheria broke out and killed a number of children. 1884 A wagon road was built from Coos Bay to Coquille City. A mail route was established and was carried by stage. 1889 Telegraph Communications were completed between Coquille City and Empire City. 1892 A fire broke out in the business district and destroyed several buildings. The business blocks were not rebuilt until after the railroad was completed. 1893 A railroad replaced the stage. The train tracks went down Front Street. 1896 The county seat was moved from Empire City to Coquille City by a vote of the residents of the county. 1901 Electricty comes to Coquille City. 1920 The Chamber of Commerce, by a majority vote, chose the French pronunciation of Coquille (Ko-Keel) over the Indian pronunciation (Ko-Kwel) that was favored by the early settlers. INTRODUCTION 9 Dedication As America celebrates its 200th birthday, everyone across the nation is taking part in remembering the history ot the past and striving to keep the freedom of today. This year, seeming fit, the 1976 Annual Staff would like to dedicate this year's edition to the town and people of Coquille. In so doing, we hope that it will remind the reader of how it once was and is now. Memorial Mark Shields For Mark Smoke wavers upward from a cigarette As Mac Davis soothes the clatter of rain on porch steps. I inhale slowly and desperately try Not to hear you pestering the girl beside you-grin, dimples, and shining eyes. Not to see Senior boys hoisting you shoulder high you smiling warily. Not to smell the scent of farm boy-unwilling ly dressed for school. Not to hear the shouts of teammates-you make another touchdown. Not to see myself laboriously reading hastily done homework-you boast to friends when you get an A. And yet, a second puff, another haze of smoke, Mac Davis says something about words not coming easy-and you impishly shrug your shoulders. I will miss you. Mike Maus Mike Maus would have been a Junior this year. Many students did not know him well because he had just transferred to Coquille High School from McKinleyville High School in California. Moving here in January, he lived with his sister. Besides studying, he worked for his brother-in-law in the roofing business. By working, he earned money so that he could work on his car - a '55 Chevy. Mark Shields, who would have been a Sophomore, was well known by the student body. He spent much time as an athlete by going out for football and track. He also contributed much time and effort in his positions as Student Body President at the Coquille Valley Middle School during his eighth grade year and as Freshman class President last year. Both of these boys died suddenly and unexpectedly during the summer of 1975. They will be missed. Elaine DeBoard MEMORIAL 11 SENIORS Pictured above is the Graduation Class of 1912, the smallest class to ever graduate from CHS. The members were Myrtle DeLong, Alta Stanley, Harold Hodge, and Irvin Custer. (The first class graduated in 1910.) In 1917, seven years after the first graduating class, there was a total of 57 alumni of Coquille High School (30 girls and 27 boys). Fifteen of them had gone on to college (of these, 5 went to the University of California at Berkeley, 5 to Oregon Agriculture College, 2 to the University of Oregon, 1 to Willamette, and 1 to law school.) Twenty had remained in Coquille and had a variety of occupations: clerk, saleslady, telephone operator, teacher, cabinet maker, stenographer, confectionist, mill employee, and surveyor, etc. It is possibly a reflection of the times that none of the 10 girls who had married by 1917 had a career in those early years after graduation. However, 4 of the other girls became teachers, 1 went into nursing and 4 went on to college. 12 SENIORS SENIORS CLASS COLORS. GREY AND GOLD CLASS OFFICERS Will Harrow. President.

After he left CHS, Mr. Kern worked as a carpenter and helped build the Georgia-Pacific plant here in Coquille. Later he built Douglas Plywood (now Roseberg Lumber.)

He died in 1957 and our athletic field was named after him. SENIORS 13 Seniors 14 SENIORS Bicentennial Highlights Senior Year Luann, Wendy and Mary Jane sing at commencement. To the Class of 76: A t the moment they are first being read, how much meaning will these words have? Quite possibly none. But months, years, decades from now, perhaps we'll look back, and with a touch of sentiment, murmur to ourselves, Hey yah... Already the memories seem to blur things that were once so clear become slightly faded. Now what year was it that we won the Homecoming float contest? But certainly there are things to remember — we're a class to remember — we’re a class that’s had some very unique conditions. Isn’t it odd that the 55 miles per hour speed limit went into effect the very year most of us started driving ? And as if that wasn’t enough of a discouragement, then they decided to raise gas prices beyond our reach. One thing we won't be able to forget - history most likely won't let us — is that we are Children of Watergate. Just think, that whole mess started the same year we entered high school, and we are still hearing about it! And then, of course, there's the Bicentennial. But will we remember the long and magnificent heritage that this event represents, or simply recall the way it was exploited and overdone? It's a moot question, but somehow the answer seems to come in a not so subtle way when: as we drive down the highway, we see billboards, advertising Seagrams' at $17.76 a gallon. But is that the way we will want it? Years from now, when we're asked where we were on July 4, will we remember? And will the memories be good one? We’d like to think so. These things are the things that all Seniors have in common this year, but they're only the background of the things we'll truly remember: yelling at games, holding someone close at the prom, laughter, all the tests, smiling faces, and waiting in line for nearly everything — including that little piece of parchment. We’ll remember cold first period rooms (replete with phrases like would anyone like to go to their locker and get their coats? ) and the rebirth of skateboards (you know, those things that were so popular ten years ago and that suddenly disappeared because they were too dangerous. ) But most of all we’ll remember how these years — this scant fraction of our lives - shaped us in the time afterward.

A 1975 Coquille High School graduate went to Iran with the American Field Service Program over the summer of 1975. Kelly Morgan wrote a letter to your Annual staff and explained his trip as the following: I left Eugene on June 23 and arrived in New York the next morning. At New York we stayed at C. W. Post College. Here we had orientation, and this is where I found out 25 others were going to Iran. We stopped in Amsterdam, then at Athens and then Beirut, where we stayed overnight. The next night we left for Iran, and arrived at 10 P.M. June 27. We then had a short orientation in Tehran and our families picked us up the next afternoon. Having only a day to adjust to the new culture and new family, the U.S. Ambassador, Richard Helms, invited us over for an evening. After the excitement diminished, we finally were able to get settled and find out where we really were. I had three sisters. Felo. Fetersha. who were married, and Feronis who lived at home. And a brother. Fairborz, who also lived at home. My host father was personnel manager of the town council and my mother, a housewife. I returned to Eugene on August 27. after leaving Beirut. The trip back was almost non-stop. A.F.S. 31 Anna Maria Argudo Among many of the other new things that happened this year. Coquille High School had the pleasure of not one, not two, but three foreign exchange students. Anna Maria Argudo was the only girl to accompany her male companions to all the foreign exchange visits and banquets. The program that she was with Rotary Club Exchange - was brand new to Coquille this year. An eighteen year old from Quito, Ecquador, she stayed with the John Courtney family who have one daughter, Colleen, who was a Freshman this year. Her father is an electronics distributor and also maintains a one hundred and sixty acre banana plantation. Anna's mother is a retail store owner. Both of her parents accompanied her to the United States. She also has three brothers -- two of which are older than her and a younger brother who still attends school. Having completed her formal schooling in Quito, she plans to continue on to the University to study economics and the business world. Marcelo Daniel Cena Marcelo Cena was this year’s American Field Service exchange student from Santa Clara, Argentina. He was 19 and attended CHS as a Senior while he participated in Cross Country and Track. He lived with the Dr. Peter Wolfe family - Martin and Quentin (former AFS students abroad), Madelin (Senior), Kirstin (Freshman), and Lorin (Seventh). Marcelo s father is a photographer and his mother is the principal of a girl's school of home economic skills. He has one sister, 23, who is a professor of geography and history. He found schools much different in the States because he attends a mixed, private, commercial school. There, students wear uniforms and have no freedom in choosing classes. Up until one or two years ago, students had to take tests at the end of their school career to determine whether or not they could continue on to college - however, that practice has been done away with. Marcelo must complete four more months of schooling when he returns home. He hopes to go on to the university to become a veterinarian or a doctor. In his spare time, he enjoys volleyball and lifeguarding. Pieter Jurgen Hoekstra Being able to speak Dutch and being also from the Netherlands, the Michael Lans family was privileged to host a foreign student from their home country through the Youth for Understanding program. Pete Hoekstra enjoyed staying with his brothers, Roy (a Junior) and Gary (a 4th grader), and a sister, Shirley (an 8th grader). Pete comes from a farm area much like this one. His father is a pig farmer. He has two sisters, 10 and 13 years old, and one older brother, who is 19. Upon returning to Frieslen, Netherlands, Pete plans to continue his final two years of school. (When he returns, he must pass tests for his grade level. If he does not pass, he must take that grade over again and take another test.) Then he hopes to go on to college and become a photographer or an engineer. 32 FOREIGN EXCHANGE Marcelo, Anna, and Pete Visit C.H.S FOREIGN EXCHANGE 33 Memories of People, Places and Class of 1976 Personality Parade Brightest Eyes Most Unique Nose Cutest Smile Wildest Hair Shapeliest Legs Loudest Most Kissable Lips Most Shy Most Friendly Class Flirt Best Body Build Most Likely To Succeed Most Brains Class Clown Best Athlete Most Fun Best Dressed Most Talented Best Personality Marcelo Cena Lynn Stafford Jim Kistner Kristi Johnson Ron Minard Diane Crockett Kevin Cooper Marsha Ruell Dean Wilson Lori Dalton Mike Schrader Vicki Waldron Ken Martin Lori Dalton Jon Cooke Carole Shavere Brian Walsh Debbie Mahlberg Spike Parry Lynn Stafford Dean Wilson Lori Dalton Brian Walsh Karen Hedeen Kevin McGourty Sheela Word Steve Simpson Laurie Pinkley Spike Parry Karen Hedeen Jim Cribbens Theresa Ellis Brian Walsh Ken Martin Shelly Hoeffel Tim Ellison Wendy Byrd Brian Walsh Karen Hedeen best body build class flirt most talented most talented loudest Senior Favorites of 1976 Movie: T.V.

The Fall Initiation followed a Knights of the Round Table theme with a Round Table Ceremony. Honored Knight was initiate Marsha Ruell. The seventeen initiates, chosen by excellence in Leadership, Scholarship, Citizenship and Service, were kidnaped in the wee hours of the morning and given breakfast at the Birdcage. They were forced to wear Mickey Mouse ears as tokens of their honor until the banquet. Spring Initiation brought seven more members into the club and patterned itself after a trial. The initiates were once again roused from their beds and forced to surpass grueling obstacles to earn their breakfast at the school. There were three very honored members chosen: Mr. Andy Klemm, Mrs. Krantz, and Mr. Steve Short. Added to the traditional activities of bake sales, concessions, a scholarship presentation and the Honor Roll Board, NHS sold A W balloons and bicentennial ice cream at the Gay 90's celebration and helped sponsor the annual March of Dimes Walkathon. They also held a poetry contest during Valentine Week and decorated a door for Christmas Week festivities.

Luoto, Patty Player, and Brian Walsh. The 1975’1976 Coquille High School Band had an eventful year headed by a four day trip to Surrey, British Columbia. The Surrey band returned the compliment by coming to Coquille for a concert and playing along with the CHS Band in the Gay 90’s Parade. The Jazz Band performed at the American Field Service and Youth For Understanding banquets. They also entertained for two nights of Devilrieties. The Pep Band gave equal time to both sexes by first accompanying Girls’ Varsity Basketball to State at Marshfield and encoring with a trip to Boys’ Varsity Basketball State in Eugene, attending every day of the tournament. Coquille also sent several qualifying students to the Honor Band Competition in Monmouth. This is all in addition to marching and entertaining at football halftimes and giving numerous enjoyable concerts. Thanks to the efforts of teacher-conductors Wes Hedeen and Gary Wiese, and over one hundred dedicated varsity and concert band students, the year 1975-1976 was one of the most active ever.

ACTIVITIES 99 Hello Week Builds Juniors pull with all their might. Hello Week this year began as it has in the past with all the classes crowded around the various doors to receive their schedules. As the week progressed, the students witnessed a variety of events such as the pyramid building and the tug of war. New teachers proved their subtle touch by removing shaving cream from balloons with razor blades. Student council revived the old tradition of introducing all the school's teachers and administration. Mr. and Miss Hello were announced...Spike Parry and Jolene Morgan claimed the honors. A dance featuring KYNG disc jockey Michael Brown was held that night, and Freshmen were encouraged to come by a special rate. Hello Week — a great start to a GREA T year. For our new Vice Principal, a close shave. 100 HELLO WEEK Unity Joe's mouth....closed? Pyramid building seems to be a new fad at C.H.S. HELLO WEEK 101 Jolene and Spike.

This year saw the return of many alumni — mostly me ciass of 75. The bleachers were packed full to witness the climax of the week: The Homecoming Game, which we won 33-6 against Gold Beach. At half time, with Coquille enjoying a substantial lead, the moment so many had been waiting for came: the announcement of the Homecoming Queen 75, and the winners of the contests. The theme of Homecoming, chosen by the Inter-Club Council, was Devils. Best in the West. On Monday, there had been a Boot Beer Drinking Contest where the Junior class narrowly defeated the Sophomores who were second. The Seniors and Freshmen were third and fourth respectively. On Tuesday, the Sophomore class sponsored a jail from Mr. Schultz's room. People paid the roving posse to pick up a friend and put him in there. The Juniors won a Pony Express Race on Wednesday. Mr. Wiese (the Rhinestone Cowboy), with the help of Tom Gilman, delivered the pep talk at the assembly Friday, amid spangle and sparkle. Friday was Western Dress-up Day, and Tom Gilman and Deb Yager were named Mr. and Miss Rhinstone. The Juniors won the competition yell. At the game -- Mr. Wiese’s voice boomed through the night air: Lori Dalton was Homecoming Queen. The Seniors won the sign contest, with the Juniors, Freshmen, and Sophomores following. The class of 77 won the float contest over 76, 78, and 79. HOMECOMING 103 The Rhinestone Cowboy and Kristi Johnson pose for a picture.

So said the line of Juniors above. The entire class from left to right: Geneva Robinson. Jane Lowe, Roy Avery, Edna Harlocker, Hazel Radabaugh, Raymond Burns, Stewart Norton, and Winifred Curry. Many aspects of high school were different in the early years of Coquille. Classes, of course, were much smaller and each class picked their own class colors, flower, yell, and motto. Some examples: Don't make excuses, made good. To fail is Un-American. With the ropes of the past we will ring the bells of the future. Instead of separate schools, all twelve grades were together in one building (also known as Washington School) from the years 1900 to 1920. A favorite saying was Oh, Pickles! which was used when you were upset by something. The following poem suggests the method of discipline equivelent to detention used by Supt. Howard in 1917: Mr. Howard's a long, slim gent, Who gives many’s the kid a dent: He lays them o 'er a table Applies a hose per fable Until they are really quite bent. 124 CLASSES CLASSES CLASSES 125 Juniors Junior class officers: Gary Parshall. Connie Pierce. Troy Russell. Teresa Whitney, Lisa Freauff, Marvin Call, and Patty Player. Karen Walsh: We have a great class which makes school fun. Bruce Engelgau: The Junior class is wild, but the year has been @ V' Lisa Freauff: As far as I’m concerned our Junior class is the limit. Debi Muir: The Junior class? Why? What? Where? Hey, don’t rush me! Jeff Rodenberg: A bunch of studs. Unknown: At least we're better than the class of 76 but that’s not saying much. These are some comments from only a few juniors, but it pretty much sums up the year. Some of their accomplishments have been football concessions plus selling buttons and bumper stickers, candy concessions at noon, a successful Junior Prom and a Sadie Hawkins dance. To sum it up even more - The class of 77 rates high! 126 JUNIORS Lynne Maeyaert.

David Blair Steven Brown Glenda Brandon Craig Briggs Dwayne Brown Kevin Brown Tracy Brugnoli Becky Burd Romildo Raineri (better known as Junior) was here from Marilia, Brazil. A town with a population of approximately one hundred thousand people. Junior has four sisters and no brothers. He has called his family since he has been here and said he had a hard time remembering Porteguese. During his visit in this country he has been staying with Mike Sandsness and his family. When asked what he liked about this country Junior replied, Dancing, fishing, and the girls. He also played on the freshmen basketball team. When asked about the school, he said that there were more school activities at his school in Brazil and that the classes were easier here. Junior said he liked it here but he liked the city better because he was more used to it. He also said that Coquille was too small of a town. But, he plans to try to visit here again.

Coach Townsend said the 1975 Cross Country team was the best bunch of kids he'd ever worked with. He designated Ken Martin and Steve Simpson as his two best runners. Unfortunately, both boys were injured near the end of the season and could not compete at state with the rest of the team. Though Coquille placed second behind Brookings in almost every meet, the team finished 17th in state. Devil spirit was heightened this year by the addition of Pete Hoekstra and Marcelo Cena, two of the 1975 foreign exchange students. Although there was a large turn-out to start off the year, only two girls, Nancy Counts and Joyce Harris, remained to finish the season.

BASEBALL Bill Fortier: Mr. Baseball Mr. Bill Fortier William Fortier died at his home on Fairview route May 22, 1976 at the age of 89. To many of his friends and fans around Coquille William Fortier was known as Bill, Mr. Baseball , and to many of his baseball associates over the years as Willie. He and his family moved to the Coquille Valley area in 1923 when he came here to play baseball. Since Bill has been in the Coquille area he had joined such organizations as the Coquille Rotary Club, Coquille Valley Elks, and Coquille Bleacher Club. Bill quit school in the 5th grade after his father had died. The older members of the family then had to go to work. Bill worked on farms until 1904. Then he began mixing farming and baseball in Moscow, Ida. Four members in the family he worked for were on a local team and they talked Bill into trying out for the team. He started as a catcher because catchers and pitchers made more money. Bill needed this money to help support his family. He began playing pro ball in 1908 at the age of 21, for $125 a month. While playing for the Pocatello, Idaho team, Bill was suspended the season for punching an umpire after he made a bad call. In 1923 the Fortiers moved to Coquille and Bill took over the management of the Coquille Loggers. At that time the Loggers were independent, playing such teams as North Bend, Marshfield, Klamath Falls, Medford, Grants Pass and Sutherlin. In 1925 the Loggers took the pennant and almost every year after that. One year the Loggers played Bend for the State Championship, winning 5 to 2. Bill worked for Bill Zosel in the pool hall for three years then bought him out and turned it into Bill's Place on E. 2nd St. As Bill retired the Coquille athletic field was changed to Fortier Field in his honor. After he retired he still lent a helping hand with legion teams and raising money for the youth of Coquille. Mr. Fortier will be remembered for his contributions to Baseball. Bill began his catching career in Uniontown, Wash., while working in a lumber yard and farming. BASEBALL 191 The Golf Team Shows Us How to Swing Don Brockman uses his great form.

Bandon was the first team to fall to the Devil netters. Coquille's inaugural tennis match’s score was 7-2. Coquille competed against the Bandon Tigers in four matches during the season, winning each time by a large margin. North Bend proved to be Coquille ’s toughest opponent. Each of the Red Devil’s three losses to the Bulldogs were by closer margins as the season progressed. In its last match with North Bend, Coquille was edged 3-2. Coquille High School played a tough two match series with the Trojans of Douglas High School this season. Coquille tied the Trojans 5-5 in its first match and lost a close 3-5 match at the end of the season. Coquille Red Devil Tennis finished its first season with the boys competing in the District 6 Regional Tournament at Ashland. Joe Slack produced Coquille’s only win.
