Assemblies entertaining and educational Every one very good,” was Principal Karl Schmidt’s summary of this year’s assembly programs. Coquille High was privileged to host such guests for assemblies as the Bell Telephone Company who presented a very educational program on such things as centrifugal force and synthetic rubber. Also performing were the Air Force Band, and Oggie Shaw who presented an excellent program on physical fitness called the Fitness Factors. Said Mike Willbrandt, Oggie Shaw was a dynamic speaker. He was extremely entertaining and he really got the students involved. “Coquille High also boasted an extremely well-organized and impressive series of pep assemblies,” stated rally adviser Elaine DeBoard. Pep assemblies in the past have often been accompanied with a lack of enthusiasm and poor attendance. Due to the fine efforts of the 1978-79 rally squads, pep assemblies took on a fresh look highlighted by humorous skits, grueling class competition and an air of curiosity of what was next. Laurie Gallup said she attended the assemblies mainly to support her junior class in the yell competition, but she also thought the skits were really cute. c o 2 Assemblies

After the court was named, $70 worth of fog was blown on the floor while the prom court danced. Spring colors were used for the prom while daisies, carnations, mums and candles provided the center pieces for the tables. Class president Dan Smith said, “The ball was a great success, and we had lots of help with the decorations. B 14 Senior Ball
