Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1969 volume:

Protect your heritage Looking from the dormitory, Mr. Braun took this picture of the rolling lulls February 19, 1969 and in these everlasting hills we shall have these moments to remember Mustang Volume XIV Crane Union High School Crane, Oregon Crane High—January 25, 1967 To understand the feeling that I had on that night, you would have to understand me and know what this old school really meant to me. Since this is close to impossible, I will do my best to relate to you some of the thoughts I had as I stood there in the light of a fire which burned the memories of so many people who had passed through the halls of this great institution. Crane High has always been one of a kind. No other high school in America is set up on the same principle as Crane. This is, perhaps, the biggest reason that people felt the way they did about it. I believe that that old school gave me more good times and great memories than any other school could have given. There was always this feeling of being one big happy family without any problems. It was a great place to be. Countless thousands of incidents flashed into my mind as I watched the school pass away. I re- called the games in grade school, the fight with my best friend, the stupid stunts such as crawl- ing along the rafters above the gym, the thrill of being involved with the basketball games, and even the memory of some special school work. I also realized that this was a beginning for Crane High. I knew that we would start all over again and that great things were in store for Crane. These things are beginning to unfold. Evan C. Miller Student Body President January 25, 1969 We salute our parents This 1968-69 Crane Union High School Yearbook is a review of accomplishments and an expression of gratitude from a grateful student body just finishing its first full year in a new school plant; it is a salute to the Board of Directors, all taxpayers and interested citizens whose extra hours of labor have given us this, our greatest hour and moments to remember. 6 Crane Union High School District 1 Crane Elementary School District H Mrs. Arnold (Naomi), Chairman Mr. Burke Holloway Mrs. Fine (Katherine) Mr. George Clark Mr. Larry Dunn Mrs. Sealy (Elsie), Clerk Mr. Howard Miller, Chairman Mrs. Arnold (Naomi) Mrs. Maupin (Delta) Mrs. Davies (Emma) Mr. Ralph Opie Mrs. Sealy (Elsie), Clerk Mark Dunn, freshman, Mark Shenk, sophomore, Rick Kott, junior, Ron Otley, Virginia Bleuler, and Louise Davis, seniors, leave the new audi- torium where dramatic performances, dance recitals, and music recitals are presented on a stage of latest design with striking gold stage dra- peries. The lower photo show's also the gymnasium, the state and American flags and the high school classrooms beyond the flag pole. Joanie Davies, Donna Moss, Ann McDade, Linda Davies, and Rick Wameke leave the gymnasium Wednesday, February 19 with destination unknown. The C is to the extreme right of the flag pole. Looking north, Virginia Bleuler and Louise Davis compare notes at one of the high school entrance doors, while Mark Dunn joins Mark Shenk and Ron Otley. Rick Kott pauses at flag pole with friend. To the west, the dormitory houses the stu- dents on campus. The adjoining wing, to the left, provides the very best in dining facilities. Work began in January, under the super- vision of Mr. Herb Davis, to level and provide adequate parking space for student care. Moments to Remember will be. . . . the commencement address A graduate of Crane High School 48 years ago (Class of '21), The Reverend J. LeRoy Johnson, now of Tacoma, Washington, chal- lenged the class of '69 to look ahead. He compared THEN with NOW expressing a great loyalty to his school and that the memories of those years had meant much to him in carrying him forward these 48 years. He pointed out that the smallness or greatness in size of a school is no yardstick for measuring what it can do for you. Students should remember that it is the individual who is master of his own ship; that it is the individual who meets the challenge; it is the individual who is successful. His message led his audience through thought-channels emphasizing the philosophy for getting the most out of life. This edition of the 1968-69 Crane Union High School Yearbook is respectfully dedicated to one of its distinguished alumni, The Reverend J. LeRoy Johnson Mis. Johnson entered into the spirit of the commencement festivities, contributing her warmth and charm. 6 Bill Owen, senior, takes a quiet rest after class in Mr. McDade's science room, and listens to a favorite record. Administration Faculty Classes 7 Mr. Sid Ratzlaff, Superintendent, world history, office, honor society adviser Mr. Ratzlaff, in completing his fifth year at Crane, has seen the school through its tragic 1967 fire, the subsequent housing of students in many temporary quarters and at long last, he has felt the satisfaction of seeing the student body spend its first full year in its new buildings. At the time Elgin, a larger school, asked him to be its superintendent, he had realized one of many accomplishments at Crane: Crane is no longer struggling under the irregularity of temporary housing, but indeed, is well on its way to be- coming one of the outstanding small schools of the state. These are moments to remember. The Faculty and Students will have Mr. Carson Valentine, vice-principal, algebra, geometry, junior high general math, track coach, freshmen adviser Certainly if Mr. Valentine has any season more successful in track an- other year, it will be winning at state. This past season has given him and his men many moments to remember. He has been a willing and conscientious contributor to the annual-- complying with any request which has been asked of him. The staff is grateful for his help. Well informed in public affairs, he is sure to interest his listeners on any current topic. 8 Mrs. Martin (Jan), bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, girls' physical educa- tion, and volleyball coach Formerly from Portland, Mrs. Martin and her husband Warren, have been very involved in the athletic program. Her volleyball teams are recog- nized by other schools as being very well coached. Among other honors they won the sportsmanship award. many momemts to remember Mr. J. Michael McDadc, general science, biology, chemistry, physics, pep club, junior class adviser Completing Ms second year at Crane, Mr. McDade is making two important changes in his life for next year: (1) he will be mar- ried at Portland in August and (2) he will join the busy hustle of Portland. Mr. McDade not only found teacMng an exciting adventure, but he had a great enthusiasm for unpacking the new equipment for the science department. Mrs. Valentine (Blanche), English I, II, III, IV, piano, library, dramatics, student council adviser Mrs. Valentine contributes to the cultural advantages of the school, by providing students with an outlet and an appreciation for good music, excellent dramatic performances and by stimulating students to appreciate good literature. The publications for wMch she has been the adviser have won honors of dis- tinction: The WMrlwind (1968), The Mustang (1968) and the Excelsior, a literary magazine '68. 9 Bk' Knowledge versatility, Mr. Warren Martin, art, boys' physical education, football coach, junior varsity basketball coach, junior high social studies Mr. Martin's versatility of talents has added much to the school program. His art classes are filled with enthusiastic students. His football team, winning tri-county, is a further indication of his many abilities. and patient understanding Mrs. Davies (Carolyn), remedial reading Associated with the Crane Union High over a period of many years and formerly home economics teacher, journalism teacher, Mustang adviser, Mrs. Davies' remedial reading program is ac- cepted with much enthusiasm by students and parents. This has been a highly productive program for three years. Mr. Stanley Johnson, industrial arts, woodshop, metal arts, me- chanics, basketball coach Mr. Johnson was an enthusiastic installer of new equipment for his department. Men visitors to this particular facility are im- pressed with the completeness of the installations and the excel- lent opportunity Crane High School students have. It is one of the outstanding shops in the state high school program. Mrs. Poust (Marguerite), journalism, U.S. History, American Pro- blems (government), home economics, English (junior high), Senior class adviser Mrs. Poust enjoys her full schedule in the new school plant and con- siders it a privilege to teach in such well-equipped departments. An enthusiast in school activities, the YMCA Youth Legislature pro- gram was another activity she had hoped that the talented students of CUHS could include. give students confidence Mrs. Ratzlaff (Billie) Mrs. Ratzlaff, with a growing family, has managed the office with calm and decorum for the past three years. Even though her hours extended long after the day was done, all comers were impressed with her amiable re- sponse to their needs and inquiries. Two sons were graduated from Crane High with distinc- tion and now serve their country (U.S. Navy) in the same way. A third son, David, begins his freshman year this September and three younger children are in the elemen- tary level. Johnella Shenk, Louise Davis and Ann Arnold who are enrolled in office practice, assist in the rountine duties ranging from switch board activity to attendance records. 4 Dormitory life Mrs. Davies (Norma) ends her eighth year with Crane High Dormitory. For seven years she prepared the menus and supervised the dining room. This past year her husband, Mr. Maurice Davies, joined her and they were the House parents of the Dormitory. At the right, Mrs. Davies (back to camera) is hostess—a quick noon luncheon. At the far end, senior veep Norm Clark is flanked by senior class officers, Ann Arnold, Donna Moss, and Ann McDade. is special at Crane High; Mrs. Hagan (Lucille) supervises the dining room and the meal planning. She is cheerfully assisted by Joanie Davies (freshman), Bonnie Wharton (junior), and Dave Behrend, (senior) background. Gene Owen (freshman) performs a tedious operation in the cup department. Rick Kott, junior, a well- mannered young man, was snapped by the photographer. Mark Shenk, sophomore, (to Rick's left), looks on. Johnella Shenk, junior, is seen at another table--an equally impressive show of good taste. These are moments to remember. Not only are there students par- ticipating in this quick luncheon but members of the job corps were invited to join them also. Mr. Herb Davis (back to camera) is supervisor of the ground leveling assisted by some members of the near-by job corps. Mark Dunn, freshman, is near the window. A section of the living room, where students may read, receive guests, study, write letters or relax. The camera has captured this typical moment. Left to right: Rick Kott, junior, Mr. J. Michael McDade, teacher, Ron Otley and Norman Clark, seniors. Standing: Louise Davis, senior, and Alan Hagan, junior. Linda Davies and Rick Wameke snapped by Mr. Braun, in the midst of a spirited debate: the juniors are better than the sophomores. John Stephenson catches this scene (apparently Linda lost the debate) while Joe Fine, left and Mark Shenk, right, look on. Sharon Hilbert is in the background. Oh, no! as John Stephenson captures that moment: after-school snack (1. to r.

Using our intuitive powers, the junior class looked into the future ten years from the present to see what those people would be doing. Here are the stars: Alan Hagan, junior, let the staff select shots from his camera. Upper 1: (1) Mrs. Arnold and Anne .. .behind them are the Otleys and the Behrends (2) Jean Clark, sophomore, serves a senior mother; (3) lowrer r.: Alan Hagan and senior Louise Davis sit near Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Davis... (Bill Owen is far r.) (4) They also stand in front of the '69--part of the prom decor. Doctors Anne McDade and Louise Davis are perform- ing heart-transplants in the growing metropolis of Crane, while nearby, the former Anne Arnold teaches school at Lawen to help support her cowboy husband. Norm Clark is a millionaire, having pro- fitted from his many years of sheering sheep; and Bill and Linda Owen are living in the Drewsey area on a prospering ranch. We find John Stephenson in Chicago, a professional photographer, and Ron Otley owning the IBM corporation. Virginia Bleuler is executive secretary in Ron's head office. Back home, the former Ivy Shenk is leading a happily hectic life on the Juniper ranch. Ashley Poust has turned his talent to fame as a pianist at Carnegie Hall, and David Behrend has surprisingly become a chef. The former Donna Moss is content combining a career and family. The twelve seem to be healthy, wealthy, and wise, at last. Linda Davies, junior, amused guests with prophecy. She had asked Vicky Shelley to sing, but laryngitis pre- vented so she asked Ashley Poust, left to fill in. He later snapped John Stephenson and Anne Arnold at the prom (right)... Bill Owen is left of John. Alan's camera snapped Cliff McClean and Vicky Shelley (left). 19 Upper left: Linda Davies makes last-minute check before Prom doors are opened.

Mr. McDade is the class adviser. Perhaps the greatest achievement for the year 1968-69 and for which all junior class members can take a col- lective bow, is the outstanding Junior-Senior Prom April 26. Taking advantage of the first full year in the beautiful new school plant they made their plans early. . .It was the most beautiful Prom in anyone's memory.

High Point was winning txi-county championship. Out of the ten meets entered, the Mustangs captured seven and took second place in the other three meets. Their last second came in the District 7B meet at Umatilla when they were runner-up to McEwen High School for the district championship.

The staff is indebted to those whose cameras have recorded priceless moments to remember. Mr. Braun's out- standing photos in this volume were obtained in just two trips to Crane—October 18, and February 19. John Stephenson has some classic shots. His panoramic campus view taken from the top of the C October 23 had to be retaken due to haze. During the summer hot days, six rolls of film and 10 pair of shoes later, Ashley Poust Jr. , finally got an acceptable retake (p. 3). Alan Hagan is to be congratulated for his excellent photography, his generosity, his energies and loyalty to his school. Mr. Valentine gets our verbal orchid: for not only is he a dedicated coach, but he took the time to assist the staff in the loan of every picture asked for; and for his generous time in supplying statistics.great thanks.

While other countries stumble in the darkness of graft and enslave- ment, we, the people of America, can stand in the light of success and prosperity. The gift cannot be taken for granted, for freedom is not free. Everyone of us must work for the preservation of our blessed rights. The challenge that faces us is not one of an alien foe, but one of understanding. It is a challenge to us to understand what our freedoms mean to us. To keep something sacred, one must understand how it works and what governs it. We must know our government if we are to remain a free nation. This is our challenge. For the Seniors. . .
