The officers for band were president Jamie Glazebrook, vice president Diane Hedeen, secretaries Cone Philley and Heidi Luckman, and treasurer Sarah Kreick. Every year the band goes to several activities to perform and be judged. Once again they went to Corvallis and performed in the Oregon State University Northwest Band Day. Coquille did well in marching and received a first place in their division. Some students really enjoyed band so they had the privilege of being in honor band. Honor band was selected students from several different schools. These students auditioned for the band and were then selected for recognition by a group of band directors. The members who were in honor band were flute player Kathy Finneganf clarinet players Sara Trathen and Cone Philley, baritone saxaphone player Bob Gunther, bass clarinet players Tadd Mattix and Sam Smith, french horn players Candi Carlson and Melanie Kendall, trombone players Diane Hedeen, Sarah Kreick, John Flynn, Greg Hubbard, and Inger Eri, tuba players Mickey Clements and Duane Stateler, and the percussion section which included Nancy Ellis, Matt Ramey, and Greg Scott. Solo contest players were french horn player Melanie Kendall, trombone player Greg Hubbard, and baritone saxaphone player Bill Reinman. The trombone quartet consisted of Diane Hedeen, John Flynn, Sarah Kreick, and Inger Eri. The clarinet quartet consisted of Sara Trathen, Ann Graham, Varissa Rose, and Pam Ramey. The band members were required to oarticipate in fund raisers. Some of the fund raisers were selling calendars, crystal ornaments, and cookies. The money that was earned from those fund raisers was for future activities and trips which were usually taken every other year. There were five concerts held during the year: the Christmas, winter, spring, review of bands, and the band festival.

Seniors brave pain to donate -their blood The senior class participated in the blood donating program sponsored by the Red Cross. The Red Cross Bloodmobile came to Coquille March 22 and at one o'clock seniors were right in with the rest of the town. The first step of the donating process consisted of the donor receiving a number and a few pamphlets which contained vital information and a basic description of the donating process. After the individuals read the material they were called by number to a volunteer with a typewriter who asked a few simple questions for their records. A questionaire was then given to the donor to fill out while waiting his turn to have his blood typed and checked for iron deficiency, his temperature and blood pressure taken, and his questionaire reveiwed for accuracy. Once the donor completed these steps of the process, he was then asked to drink a cup of juice to replenish the body fluids he was soon to lose. At this point a blood bag was assigned to the donor. Then an escort took them to a special cot where the actual blood letting took place. Once resting comfortably, a friendly nurse asked a few questions to help relax the patient while she cleansed his arm, took his blood pressure, and located a vein suitable for perforating with an intravenous needle. I thought it would hurt but it didn't hurt at all, Exclaimed Dani Scoville. When the needle was properly seated, the tube that led to the collection bag was taped securely to the donor's arm. Now it was only a matter of minutes until the process ended. After his experience, Eric Violette admitted, “I was glad I took the time to do it. It made me feel like I was helping someone in need. The comments given by the students showed that they were worried about the pain but after it was over, first-time donor Brian Barklow said he found the process interesting and added, I honestly enjoyed the experience and plan on doing it again. I had a good time even though I nearly went into shock from blood loss. The brave seniors who donated blood on March 22 were Dani Scoville, Eric Violette, Brian Barklow, Dan Maeyaert, Jim Johnson, Jeff Lavey, and Don Kay.
