Activities 13 Seniors initiate rook to CHS Molasses fights, taking baths with spinach and Miracle Whip, and breaking eggs over heads were some of the messy punish- ments the freshmen had to endure for beginning their first year at Crane Union High School. On Thursday, October 9. the 17 under- classmen trudged out to the grassy area between the gymnasium and auditorium to await their fate at a “rook orientation presided by the seniors. The rooks had been given slips of paper in advance that described the outfit they would be required to wear to the Kanga- roo Court. Costumes ranged from a boy donning a girl s swimsuit to a girl with a pumpkin over her head posing as the Great Pumpkin.

Following the meal, the elementary and high schools combined their annual Christ- mas presentations in a single program. The performance began with first through third graders dancing on to the stage to Christmas music and concluded with the original version of “The Night Before Christmas—in 2008 A.D. The account was complete with a flying saucer and a martian. Just before bedtime, the high school girls exchanged unusual gifts at their annual silly party. 20 CHRISTMAS Left: Sixth graders Mark Moosman and Rise Thew, directed by Doug Castle, perform a Christmas duet.

Students in James Wiley's class departed early April 12 for a four-day excursion to study plant and animal life and geology on the Pacific coast. Camp Terramar was where the stu- dent scientists slept, ate and relaxed when they weren't busy exploring the surrounding terrain. The group visited the boat docks to catch crab and observe water organisms, toured a botanical garden, went aboard a foreign ship hauling logs, and searched out living organisms in various tide zones. One evening was spent at a community swimming pool. 22 TRIPS Left: Cyndie Barnes and Rita Davis collect insects in a paper sack at the Carlon ranch to use for later study in class Bottom center left.

Students and faculty loaded into two buses May 17 and headed to Spurlock, east of Crane, for an afternoon of swimming, hiking, and fishing. Some students found fresh water ciams to cook over an open fire. Others settled for the school’s fare of fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, potato chips, cookies, and punch.

In his commencement address, You’re On Your Way, Burns businessman Cork Corbett complimented the seniors for being realistic in choosing a question, instead of a statement, for their theme. He told the group that to answer that question. Do You Know Where You’re Going? they must realize that the de- cisions they arc on their way to making today will determine their destiny. Salutatorian Sue Opie and valedictorian Nola-Jean Bamberry also spoke, recalling memorable events of their four years at CHS.

Sports 31 Crane ties for third in State For the third time in Crane's history, the Mustang football team tied for third place in State. Playing the State champion Culver Bulldogs twice, the boys lost the first hard-fought battle by only four points and scored a heartbreaking 8-42 in the State semifinals. Six team and three individual records were broken. The Mustangs held their opponents to only 88 first downs and 1185 rushing yards. The team also scored 130 points in the first quarter throughout the season, keeping the opponents down to 36 points in the first quarter and 28 in the second. Other teams' total season score of 182 points against Crane was the lowest for any Mustang team so far. Senior Ty Henricks caught four extra- point passes for another record and kicked the ball 61 times for a record 42.4 yards per kick. The last record broken was by junior tailback John Witzel, averaging 10.8 yards every time he had his hands on the ball. Up to the semi-final game against Culver, Witzel’s average had been 13.4.

The head coach made the comment as he presented letters to Bill Carlon, Ty Henricks, Ross Opie, and Tim Riley for the last time during their high school career. The reason for the team's successful 9-2 record, he added later, was probably due to those boys' playing together for three years. Mr. Thew awarded trophies to four seniors voted on by teammates Most Improved Player went to split end Darrell Barnes, while Hendricks accepted the Most Outstanding Linesman trophy. Opie, quarterback, and Carlon, fullback, received Most Valuable and Most Out- standing Players, respectively.

Two of the originally scheduled games were cancelled by the opponents, Long Creek s and McDermitt's Varsity teams. One of the highlights of the season, ac- cording to Coach Warren Martin, was beating Prairie City twice in one year for the first time ever. This helped make up for the disappointment of losing their first game. 0-50, to Spray’s Varsity. “It was a successful season, with a lot of good improvements.'’ Mr. Martin sum- med up.

While Varsity and JV teams scored an unimpressive 407 loss record. Mrs. Oetter felt that her girls learned new techniques and worked together well. JV’s were somewhat handicapped by the fact that, throughout the season, they lost players to the Varsity team, she added. Most of the girls on the freshman team, which won two out of eight games, had never before participated in competitive sports. The team played most of its games with Burns.

VOLLEYBALL 39 Basketball boys lose 14 or 18 It was a very frustrating season for Varsity basketball boys, said Coach Warren Martin. Five of their games were lost by five or fewer points, one in double over- time play with McDermitt. Injuries also plagued the team through- out the season. Mr. Martin explained. A bright spot, he pointed out, was that as the season progressed, the boys played better. A specific highlight was beating the third place team, Dayville, for the first time in three years.

For the first time in a number of years, the team took first place in its league. Coach Warren Martin remarked that the way the boys worked so well together probably accounted for a number of their wins. Freshman and Sophomore teams were formed in addition to the JV squad be- cause of the large turnout for basketball. Coached by Ed Goff, the two teams played most of their games against Burns.

This qualified them to go to District, where eight teams, com- pared to four the previous year, competed. The girls did not place at District. Coach James Nerdin commented on their play- off game with North Powder. “We just couldn't seem to make a basket. We play- ed good defense and outbounded them, but couldn't get points where they counted. Concerning the Joseph Eagles game, which robbed the girls of their chance for fourth place. 34-37, Mr. Nerdin re- marked. “We beat ourselves. We had more field goals, but missed 21 free throws.

SHOP 55 Math, science vary activities A visitor to James Wiley s physics class would think he was entering an electrical repair shop. Actually, the class was study- ing electricity on an individual basis, using packets covering various aspects of electricity such as tool and small appli- ance maintenance. Mr. Wileys biology class took a trip to Larry Carlon's ranch east of Crane to study life and vegetation on an acre plot of land. Basketball’’ games were not uncommon in James Nerdin’s math classes. On blue Mondays,” students often formed into two groups to which were directed math questions. Those solving the problems could shoot a paper wad into the waste- paper basket.

CAREER ED 57 “Shakespeare’’ comes to CHS Sitting quietly and invisibly in his desk, Roland spent each day in Bill Thews citizenship education class. Students first noticed this invisible man when his desk tipped over in the middle of a lecture. To help protect him, the class placed a sign on his desk reading. Do not sit in this desk. No one seemed to know why there was an invisible man in Room 2, but all the seniors vouched for his existence. English class activities ranged from a visit by two Shakespearean actors to trailing a hot car. Working from a booklet entitled. Writing Errors You Hate to Make and How to Avoid Them, the students picked up clues to both grammar and the mystery surrounding the theft of a driver's ed car from a Central High.

Students in Miss Nancy Hardie s home ec classes were paired off and required to prepare food for a teacher of their choice. Sophomores Terry Miller and David Thompson decided to be different by supplying cookies for the entire faculty twice weekly for the remainder of the school year. The boys placed the following sign in the lounge: Dear Hungry Faculty: Cookies will be served in the teachers lounge on Tuesdays and Thursdays .. . Please let us know if we should continue this project, because we are being graded on it. Response must have been favorable, for soon another sign appeared: The Cookie Monsters would like you to contribute your favorite cookie recipes.

The instrument which was purchased second hand for $650, included a bass drum, two mounted tom-toms, a floor tom- tom. a snare drum, three splash cymbals, and a “high hat, a cymbal mounted on a stand. According to music instructor Doug Castle, the trap set allowed for a greater variety of songs because of the new and different sounds it made. It was also used for cho- rus accompaniments.

In the fall, writing on the rest- room stalls resulted in an all-boys assem- bly, followed by locking the room, except between classes, for a week. A month before school was out, the coun- cil met to discuss dorm problems. The meeting followed 18 hours of student unrest, including pulling several fire alarms. It was decided that an eight-stu- dent committee should take complaints and suggestions to the high school board The board nullified all existing rules and proposed that a dorm council, the matron, and the patron compile a set of rules agree- able to each resident and approved by the board. Membership in the Mustang Chapter of the National Honor Society increased by six sophomores, selected by faculty members for outstanding scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

Also for the first time, a lieutenant (junior Ada Miller) and four squad leaders (senior Vicki Cowart, junior Verna Neff, sopho- more Danna Katzenberger. and freshman Dawna Sue Opie) were elected to super- vise small groups within the team so that more drills could be learned in less time. Captain was senior Susan Davies. Getting ready for their drill season, seven of the girls attended a Precision Dance- Drill Team Workshop in Tigard, Oregon, in October. The fourteen-member team presented its first routine at the first home basketball game. Then, beginning with the Christmas tournament, the group performed at every home game throughout the basket- ball season. Three new drills were done to the music of ‘‘Shining Star,” “Love Will Keep Us To- gether,” and Jive Talkin'. Top right-SAGETTES DRILL TEAM-On ladder, from left: Vicki Cowart. Dawna Sue Opie.

Accompanied by advisor Ed Goff, the class journeyed to Snow Mountain, west of Burns, where they downed 50 pines, the limit specified on their tree permit. Two of these trees were donated to the multi-purpose room and dormitory for decorating. The others were sold at 75 cents a foot. During spring break the class traveled in cars to the Boise area, where they spent $2100 they had earned for the traditional spring trip. The fling was highlighted by two days at Bogus Basin learning to ski.

Choosing April 16 as the date for the events, juniors decorated the school multi-purpose room in colors of mint green and peach. These colors were worked into the seniors' chosen theme, ’ Dreamweaver.” Money made from the prom was added to the junior class account to be used towards their senior trip.

The “rooks were taught the ways and rules of a boarding school by many inter- ested parties, including the seniors, who held a special orientation for them in the fall. The class proved its worth throughout the year. In sports, one girl, Julie Barnes, broke the school record in the 880, and a boy. Robert Moore, was the first freshman in several years to letter Varsity in track. The group worked hard to raise money with such projects as a cake walk and a carameled apple sale.

The fifteen students, competing on an individual basis, brought in the profit by selling nearly $420 worth of maga- zine subscriptions. In the spring the eighth graders tried their hand at “roughing it during an overnight camping trip to Logan Valley, northeast of Burns. According to several students, the most interesting part of the trip was Nevin Thompson s stepping on a rattlesnake and Terry Carlons falling into the creek. The only real problem was in packing. When the group arrived at their destina- tion, they discovered they had left their shovel and axe.

They did this by holding a fund raising pancake feed. Pancakes, ham, eggs, and beverages were served, and entertainment was pro- vided by students and county residents. The $164 raised was then used on a three- day pioneer horse and wagon outing into the hills northeast of Crane. Students spent much of their time cooking meals, tending livestock, and exploring the area. They also kept log books and collected rock and plant specimens.

By September 1, 1978, all Oregon high schools will require students to spend at least 130 hours in class. The Crane board chose to implement this program early and change the nec- essary hours to 140. All school activities and field trips, how- ever, counted as actual class hours. In the spring the board and administration met with students to discus problems with dormitory rules. A council of eight stu- dents was formed to help decide matters of discipline in the dorm. Substitutes for the patron had to be found when John Robinson suffered a coronary attack in early May. Several parents and teachers filled in on a rotation basis.
