For DHS'ers traditional small town barriers fell to the often-stark reality of the outside world and its turmoil. The time came to examine the validity of administrative decision, the importance of tradition and the claim that we all have to the right of a unique identity. The student body sought answers to the local paradox of school life and then widened their perspective to question a world often turned topsy-turvy . A new seeking of new ideas abounded; in the midst of a world media explosion and increased international communion, youth felt a strong need to turn back to friends and loved ones in an attempt to recover a sense of security. |ntroduction 3 .TO YOU AND ME On days when you wonder, If this old life has been worth it all Everytime you blunder-It never fails, you fail. It helps to face a new day, With a fresh thought in mind Like the early morning sun ray That renews the day you find. Everyone amounts to something No matter how trivial or small. A life forgotten is like a heart that cannot sing. Their life is an unanswered call. When a life's worth living The invested time in other's lives Fulfills your own purpose -It's all in the giving. by Kathy Lange HEY, STRANGER Hey Stranger...I think I know you Come back here, what's your name? You really do look familar Where do ya live, what's your name? Everyone is a stranger No time to settle down Can't stop for fear I'll loose In the city or the town. Are you sure we haven't met before Of course I know the name But how can I remember... When all the faces are the same?

I'm never bored. I'm not only a yell leader. I'm also active in DECA and the Junior Class. I like our class, they're just a bunch of nice peo-ple-not a lot of outstanding kids-just nice. During football and the beginning of basketball, school spirit is always high; then it gets 'super-apathetic'-everyone gets tired of school, in general! Even though rally takes up most of my time I enjoy doing it-l like all the hard work. Yell leaders are really stereotyped; everyone says, Oh, she's a yell leader, she must be a 'soc' . Once it was that way, but no longer. Girls go out for yell because of their interest. I would like to see students have more school pride-school isn't all books-school is what you make it! Activities Divider 15 We Love Opal FALL PLAY A new coach with new ideas brought a change of pace to the three performances of the fall play, Everybody Loves OpalA modern-day comedy, directed by Mr. John Klein, the play featured Opal Kronkie, (Lauri Rosenbalm) a birdlike woman who lived near the dump and collected everything from bottles to tea-bags. Her philosophy of life was God Bless all good men and bad ones too. The three bumbling crooks (Kevin Riddle, Lori Teachout and Dave Bier) attempted to take out insurance on Opal's life and then tryed to collect on it by killing her. Never successful, they finally gave in to the irrepressible goodwill of Opal. The detailed set featured props like a moosehead and a trapdoor adding to the realism, while down-to-earth humor brought much pleasure to the small, but loyal following. Lori Teachout (Gloria Gulock) and Kevin Riddle listen for noise from the basement, hoping Opal has died falling through the stairs. Bruce Marshall helps prepare the set by painting Opal finally succeeds in making everyone happy as she gives her money to the stairs during seventh period Advanced Acting. David Bier, Kevin Riddle and Lori Teachout. 16 Fall Play Laurl Rosenbalm (Opal) thanks David Bier (Solomon Bozo) for saving her life, though he was really trying to kill her. Later David asked Opal if he could pull her little red wagon as a proposal of marriage. David Bier cleans the floor while Opal looks on in admiration. David Bier and Kevin Riddle (Bradford Winter) quickly change the subject of their conversation as Opal intrudes on the scene. Fall Play 17 Awaiting the tip from Beth Krebs, are Kathie Woods, Suzanne Padilla and Karen Brateng. The girls are part of the newly formed Girls' Basketball team. Third Sport Restored G.A.A. Still struggling under the stereotype of women athletes, the Girls' Athletic Association gained ground in its move for equal opportunities with male athletes. Ending a five year absence, a number of club members succeeded in recruiting a highly competitive basketball team complete with coach. Practices and drills held social activities to a bare minimum; on these rare occasions the girls attended the Oregon Invitational track meet and had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory in Portland. In addition, they operated concessions and aided lettermen by collecting donations for the annual heart fund drive. 18 G.A.A. First year volleyball awards are received by Ellen Long, Deb Wall and Roxanne Bibler while Richelle Carpenter accepts her varsity letter from Coach Judy Mitchell. “Raw” Initiation LETTERMEN Lettermen, one of Dallas High's oldest clubs, successfully completed its forty-seventh year. Though the club had its usual share of problems, the athletes continued to sponsor traditional activities. Under the leadership of Jack Crider, they co-sponsored a Harlem Stars vs. Alumni basketball game to highlight the year. The chicken barbeque was well attended in the spring and members canvassed the streets of Dallas for the annual heart fund drive. Fall initiation saw new members named to the club; each consuming his share of raw fish and eggs Lettermen, Norman Arnold, Greg Jones, Roger Rouleau, and Rob fgjj S3UCe to prove hiS manliness .

Dallas High teachers battle for the ball in a benefit basketball game with KROW radio. KROW went on to a slim win by three points. Lettermen 19 Music Makers ART CLUB Sponsoring three dances brought the reputation of music-makers to the Art club. Advisor, Mrs. Pat Baker and President, Walt Best, encouraged members to participate in art-oriented activities but were limited because of the reduction of club meeting time brought on by the energy crisis. Doughnut sales, cake walks and concessions provided funds for the annual spring art tour of Portland and a steak dinner at the Red Barn. Open club membership allowed artists to share a common interest. Art club president, Walt Best, letters the wooden front of the Distributive Ed school store. 20 Art Club UBIK guitarist performs at the November 30 dance sponsored by Art Club. Varsity rally member, Margie Brinker, helps Santa Claus read the names of the basketball players who will receive a stocking of “goodies at the Christmas pep assembly. Helping to decorate Mrs. Suzanne Blackstone's Christmas tree is junior Steve Gilkison. More Traditions Abandoned CHRISTMAS The gay ring of laughter, secret parties and the exchange of holiday greetings; they all symbolized Christmas at Dallas High. The traditional celebrations of Christmas were largely ignored, as students were kept busy with studies and athletics. Several classes had secret parties where gifts and goodies were exchanged in keeping with the season of goodwill. A Christmas assembly was not held; instead Santa Claus visited the pep assembly and distributed candy canes to Dragon fans. With the threat of fuel and power shortages; Dallas High took a more conservative look at traditions and found that they weren't necessary to experience the joy of Christmas. Christmas 21 “Brains” Revise Constitution HONOR SOCIETY Constitution revisions and an unstructured program typified the changing honor society format. Members began the year by deciding to eliminate officers and challenged everyone to become involved. A major revision of the constitution took place as the desire for membership became necessary for installation. The fall tapping was cancelled and meeting time was used for discussion on the many alterations. Advisors, Mr. Frank Kettleson and Mr. Ed Jones provided ideas and encouragement as members sought a more workable program. Mrs. Mary Coleman and Dan Feil look on intently during a planning session for the Recyclathon . Fleeing from the fierce Dragon (Gordon Elliott) the Newberg Tiger (Tanya Nairn) shows his colors. 22 Honor Society Reviewing their new constitution are Honor Society members, Cheryl Griffin, Clare Buhler, advisor, Mr. Ed Jones, Gordon Elliott, Sally Denlinger and Becky Sapp. V ‘ Sophomore, Jeff Anderson, finds himself buried in cardboard collected for recycling by the club. The Year of the Ecologist H.E.L.P. CLUB The National Guard seemed to be the hero of HELP (Help Earth Live Permanently) as the men volunteered their time, trucks and machinery to the club. Activities began with the hauling of three years' worth of collected bi-metal to Portland and followed with a load of crushed glass. The biggest job tackled by the local division in aiding HELP was the demolition of its old barn. Weekly meetings were held by the club, where paper was sorted, glass was crushed, cardboard was flattened and bundled, and recyclable material was collected from the downtown area. Hard work was interspersed with play for members, who offered their time in running an environmental booth at the State Fair and took in the midway as well. Spending a fall Saturday of body-surfing, football, beach combing and eating at Road's End brought pleasure to members. The Earth Week Recycla-thon raised much-needed funds for the group's recycling operation. HELP competed in the nationwide, Keep America Beautiful contest and rated highly, ending its fourth year as first runner-up. Enjoying a dip in the ocean is Lori Schmidt and Wendy VanElverdinghe at the fall coast retreat. Members of the local National Guard unit fall in after lunch to demolish the old HELP barn in sub-zero weather. H.E.L.P. 23 Days to Remember” HOMECOMING Spirit and enthusiasm shone through the halls of Dallas High as Days to Remember, the 1973 homecoming week commenced. The crowning of Queen Sally Denlinger opened the week's activities during a coronation assembly filled with tenseness and excitement as students awaited the announcement of their reigning queen. Slicked-back hair, red lipstick and hoop skirts were a common sight on 1 950's day, during which students looked nostalgically at the past. Other traditional events like the Serpentine, trike races and button day were successful and showed schoolwide participation. A night of romance and dancing, the added thrill of competitive sport and the meeting and reuniting of old friends, helped weave the fabric for more Days to Remember. Rick Stepper and partner Malia Brown, dance to the strains of Muddy Valley at the after-game dance. Demonstrating spirit and enthusiasm while riding in ease are the varsity players during the annual serpentine.

Baby Dragons Draw Crowds J.V. RALLY Supporting winning teams, making spirit signs, participating in pep assemblies and earning money were all part of being a Junior Varsity Yell-leader. Democratic rotation of leadership gave all four girls a chance to take the job of queen. DeeAnn Klann, Kathy Monochino, Beth Sapp and Jeanne Sweet, all found it easy to develop new yells such as the Victory chant. A bake food sale helped roll in much-needed funds during Homecoming week. Being a JV Rally member was a tiring job, but brought much satisfaction to both the squad and team. 26 J.V. Rally Before beginning a yell the J.V.

Spirit Packages Given WRESTLING RALLY Providing spirited support for one of the less publicized winter sports was a challenging task for the four-member wrestling rally squad. Led by Queen, Vickie Brock, the enthusiastic squad led chants and yells at every wrestling match. Helping out at pep assemblies and making spirit packages occupied the girls who gave extra time and effort to baking goodies for the team and preparing original chants. The job these girls had grew increasingly important as wrestlers became more spirited and enthusiastic and more fans turned out for the matches. Wrestling Rally Squad: Vickie Brock, Bernadette George, Connie Cooper and Deirdre Crowhurst. Wrestling Rally 27 Rise Tuttle, Margie Brinker and Judy Murray perform for fans at halftime.

State State State State VARSITY RALLY Originality was a key to a successful year for Rally, with much imagination and effort going into a variety of skits, songs and yells . Spending an average of three hours a day, the six-member yell squad led the school in traditional activities such as homecoming, spirit week and Christmas. Creativity provided the needed impetus for two spirit skits, Potato People , a comedy dance routine and the Dragon Cereal Bowl , a take-off on a well-known commercial . School spirit was at an all-time high with the Dragons placing highly in all sports; and fans jamming the bleachers to cheer the teams to victory. Enjoying their ride on the Homecoming float are rally members Rise Tuttle and Jan Caillier. Varsity Rally 29 Sounds of the '40’s DRAGONAIRES New styles in singing typified the changing Dragonaires. Led by Mrs. Nancy Rosenblam, the twenty-member group performed throughout the Willamette Valley . Revival of the big band era was one style the group attempted; they also continued with swing, rock, gospel and modern music. The vocalists performed at the A.F.S. desert, Kiwanis, Rotary and many of the local churches, and also took trips to Eugene, Newport and Mt. Hood where they competed in musical festivals with other valley schools. Student teacher, Steven Axtell, coached members in refining technique and expanding repitorie.

Beginning with a new and closely coordinated book selling program, the experienced staff began to sort through the various tasks of creating a book of memories from the year, '74. The close-knit staff of previous years was less evident as departments were held together by loyal yearbookers who could be relyed on to do the job, often, in the final moments. Through experimenting with graphics, typography and color printing, the staff enhanced and streamlined, what might have been a routine message. Encouragement and leadership were found in chief editor, Colleen Fredricks and advisor, Mr. Bob Schiopen; to them fell the duties of organization, planning, financing and coordination. Preparation of master index cards occupies the attention of annual staffers, Cheryl Griffin and Vicki Brock during an early season yearbook work party. Dragon 31 Be Controversial” DRAGON TALES Through publishing under the policy, be controversial , the Dragon Talers sought to find original news angles in student activities, attitudes and traditions. Highlights included a pictorial on Senator Bob Packwood, an in-depth look at Outdoor Education and regular updates on the energy crisis . Among the novelties were a first-of-its-kind humor column, record reviews, and an expanded editorial section which resulted in increased reader feedback. The 30-member staff was largely inexperienced and gained valuable experience with the aid of Jack Scott, editor and Mrs. Margaret Kelley, advisor.

Eco Systems Examined SCIENCE CLUB Serving as a balance in the surrounding environment, DHS science club worked with other environmental groups and conducted ecology studies on the Ash and Rickreall Creeks. Data collected from the weekly excursions was used to determine pollution levels, temperature and oxygen content of the creeks. Advisors, Mr. Bill Glenndinning and Mr. Dan Johnson led their novice scientists on short half-day jaunts to various parts of the valley and then to Eugene for the Oregon Junior Academy of Science. It was here that Jack Crider presented a short summary of his three year marine aquarium project. The annual four-aay trip to Terramar provided in-the-field experience for 20 enthusiastic scientists.

The play took place in a boarding house where Eliza Gant's family faces love, death and sorrow. Mr. Gant dreams of carving a stone angel; while his son, Ben escapes only by dying. Eliza's daughter, Helen, never seems to get far from the kitchen and the old cheap boaders . Eugene, the youngest, finally breaks away and goes to college after an unhappy love affair. Set in the year 1916, the set was styled after a gothic house in Dallas and was built by the stagecraft classes. The three performances were successfully directed by Mr. John Klein but not as well received as previous plays. Evidence of hard work and practice was seen through the intricate set and fine acting. 34 Spring Play It's one way to step out of the photograph, isn't it. Fatty?

Industrious counselors led tweeter hikes , recreational activities and student classes. Camp fires were the high point of every day, and featured imaginative 6th grade skits and songs sung by all. An unusual assortment of crafts gave the students an idea of the different methods of making crafts from ordinary materials. The youth learned to use map and compass, studied water and soil, and finished with a class in survival . As the final session ended counselors returned to school routine with relief and regret.

Senator, Bob Pack-wood spoke and answered student questions; Halloween night brought the annual AFS Haunted House complete with ghosts and goblins. The Silver Wings and Golden Flames, ROTC drill teams from OSU and U of 0 performed during the halftime of two home basketball games. Secretary of State, Clay Meyers, visited the Social Science Department along with county treasurer Joe Cochrane and Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Ray Speulda.

Hi-C meetings were times for fun and song with individual members offering the devotional. Money raised from catching chickens went towards the annual retreat; this event was well attended and brought spiritual growth to many of the faithful Christians. A formal spring banquet gave members a chance to break bread together as evidence of a oneness of thought and action, oriented in religion. Mr. Stan Church, Mr. Steve Betchart and Mrs. Susan Blackstone led the club towards a better understanding of the Christian's place . Discussing a possible theme for the up-coming spring banquet are Hi-Christian members, Ron Fast, Clare Buhler and Gennie Buhler; they served on one of the many banquet committees. Hi-C 41 Many Outside Interests F.F.A. Retaining a place as an active club with special interests, the Future Farmers of America continued to expand their knowledge of careers in agriculture and the benefits of a life style directed at rural living. Under the leadership of President, Mark Stoller and Vice President, Paul Thrope, the FFA'ers visited several farms throughout the Willamette Valley and attended the Pacific International Livestock show in Portland. Money for their various projects such as the proficiency and parlimentary procedure contests was earned by selling Christmas trees. Their annual sweetheart banquet held on April 25th was well attended and demonstrated that members were interested in fellowship and good times as Well as FFA competition.

Local Meet Claimed Success FORENSICS Co-sponsoring the seventeenth annual Dallas Invitational Speech tournament with the local Women's Club was the major activity for DHS Forensics team. Winners and losers, alike, considered the tournament to be one of the biggest and best contests sponsored by an individual high school in the state. Participation in activities was limited to those speakers who were willing to practice for the meets even though advanced speech class was not offered due to a small enrollment. Over seventeen trophies were won as individual members demonstrated strength in oratory and exsposition. Senior expostior Gordon Elliott gestures to intensify his speech on political cartoons. Relaxing between rounds at the Willamette meet are Laurel Knight, Lauri Rosenbalm, Liz Glendinning, Gordon Elliott and Mikal Haddock. Forensics 43 Student Van Purchased STUDENT COUNCIL Plagued by disinterest and weak leadership. Student Council, nonetheless, made one major contribution to the school with its purchase of a 15-passenger Dodge van, at a cost of over $5000 from the student body treasury. In spite of this the council was largely inactive, often going weeks without meetings and falling far behind in the monthly voting for First Citizens and Rotarians. On the rare occasions where activities were planned, they were often either partly successful or cancelled. Homecoming Week, the Valentines dance and the all-school picnic were all successful exceptions and were well attended. Student Council found that hard work, imagination and reality did not compensate for an overriding lack of interest. Student Council members Jeanette Balsbaugh, Twila Koenig, Eric Jacobson and Lorette Koenig prepare a new look for the Wittenberg Board. Treasurer - Twila Koenig Sgt-at-arms - Rob Souter Student body president Sue Schierling chats with Oregon Senator Bob Packwood before introducing him to the students and faculty. Vice President - Matt Sohn President - Sue Schierling 44 Student Council Dist: butive Education students had opportunities for experience in retailing and merchandising, as well as bookkeeping and merchandise stocking. Students in both Marketing I and II had the advantage of operating the school store. Its shelves held an inventory of notebooks, paper, pens and make up, as well as posters. Other activities on the DECA agenda involved the selling of sandwiches and donuts at a speech meet and also during football and basketball games. Representatives for the year attended the state conference in Portland. The contest covered such skills as merchandise math, job interviews, display, advertising and sales demonstrations. As one avid member commented, DECA is fun and educational and VERY beneficial to the students. DE student Sally Denlinger clerks at Fabric Hut as part of her class project.

Estela Fernandez talks with a Costa Rican who came to Dallas for the AFS dessert. Expanded Exchange Program FOREIGN RELATIONS Five international ambassadors brought the outside world closer to Dallas students. Serving as representatives for D.H.S. were juniors, Becky Thomas in Japan and Joan Seneteny in Costa Rica. Living and attending school in Dallas were John Niazee, Afganistan, under the AFS program while Lydia Esquivel, Costa Rica; and Estela Fernandez, Venezuela were with the Rotary program. They shared their costumes and ways of life. Active participation in extracurricular activites was common as John played kicker for the varsity football team, Estela was a member of girls' basketball and Lydia spoke with several community clubs. Parties, desserts and weekend visits helped draw the three visitors closer to the student body. Helping a first grader with the glitter on her art project brings pleasure to exchangee Lydia Esquivel. Foreign Relations 47 A special rendition of Children Learn What They Live by Girls' Glee with narration by Chris Gilbert is an outstanding part of the spring concert.

A Multitude of Melodies VOCAL MUSIC For the 65 member Choir, the year began with the annual Homecoming assembly where they gave their first performance. A fall concert featuring selections from Godspell was followed by the Christmas and Winter concerts, where hits from the musical Oliver were presented. Throughout the year the choir attended various musical contest and festivals with the Dallas choir often rated as one of the best groups in attendance. To wrap up the year a pop concert was given and current love songs such as Fields of Joy and Yesterday Once More were sung. Girls' Glee, a 30 member singing group, performed at all the concerts. One of the best groups in years, these girls harmonized well and gave lively performances. All choir members found that hard work paid off and was necessary for choral success.

In school, my favorite subject is speech; it gives me a chance to openly and freely express myself. After school, I cook, play the piano and do my homework. In general, I feel our student body is very enthusiastic, especially if we're winning. If we are losing, then we are apathetic toward everything. The senior class is fairly decent, although we pick on other kids too much. Student government is pretty useless, but I think the only way to change it is for the administration to give the student council some real powers and then respect their decision. From the above words of a DHS Senior we note the feelings of the outspoken. Academics Divider 55 Outrunning the ball in pin baseball forces Sally Denlinger to stretch the muscles.

The girls started the year with flag football and variations of dodge ball. Bowling was the highlight of the year, with the two top bowlers in each class receiving miniature bowling pins. The boys worked on body building through a weight lifting unit, followed with soccer and various outdoor games. Students were reminded that physical education was important in a time of increased leisure.

The seventy-five member organization joined together to provide a unique sound combination that was above the levels achieved by past assemblages. Led by Mr. David Beier, the band expanded itself and there were suggestions that it break into two smaller bodies, for size and time limited the group. Along with the annual concerts, thebanddidan indepth study of John Phillips Souza and presented selections from George Gershwin. Stage Band toured to a Portland Musical festival where they presented various selections. Members of the pep band had the additional honor of attending the basketball tournament where they represented DHS with contemporary music. Band was more than people interested in music playing instruments. It was the hlending of those interests to create melody and harmony. First seat clarinetist, Judy Murray plays her part in Tannhauser while Malia Brown follows suit. Band 59 Terri Grazer tests her sense of taste in sports writing class, one of many experiments undertaken. Games and Projects Used ENGLISH Not satisfied with a program which was working well, the English department continued to refine and improve their subject matter and teaching technique. With the addition of Mrs. Susan Black-stone, Mr. John Klien and intern, Mrs. Mary Coleman, the well rounded staff offered a more in-depth and complete program than in previous years. Special films, guest speakers and student activities like designing posters and planning a college schedule helped those enrolled to learn through active participation and made classes realistic and interesting. Most popular courses included Sports Writing, Fantasy and Group Processes, as new techniques like simulation games and student projects replaced shop-worn teacher lecture and tests. Feature-editor Shelia Colley and Editor-in-Chief Jack Scott read his Humus column before typing it up. 60 English Special guest speaker Mr. Durt Martin gives a short oratory on the American Indian for the Literature classes. Survival Skills Identified LANGUAGE ARTS Planning the new graduation requirements was the main task of the changing language arts department. Led again by Mr. Jim Fairchild, teachers outlined and began preparing for a new program which would officially go into effect in 1975. A survival skills program was planned where students were required to show a certain proficiency in skills like reading and listening. Several night meetings were required as teachers sought to solve a myriad of problems; plans for the new language arts instructional area, updating of behavioral objectives for individual classes, and the expanding of Title 1 funds. Routine problems of budget preparation, registration and scheduling served to finish out an eventful year. Playing a game of Risk in Mr. Gilbert's Inhumanities class are Shane Penney, Mike Cozad, Jaime Newman, and Steve Aebi. Concentrating on reading The Open Window are Dwayne Hesse and Bryan Phillips in their Short Lit. class. Language Arts 61 Concentrating on Economics during second semester Modem Problems are Seniors Gayle Hagestrom, Ellen Iveans, Tim Hoffman, Guy Hesse and Allen Hayter. Sophomore World History students Mike Hockman and Jaime Newman talk over their assignment. A Look at a Shrinking World HISTORY Focusing on answering why to America's past, U.S. history students traced the trends which reappeared over the years. The constitution was analyzed during the first semester using a new textbook, The Forming of the Constitution . Highlights included the annual reinactment of a mining strike to empathize with union leaders; numerous films and guest speakers. A new teacher, Mr. Ralph Klosterman, was added at the semester break. World history students speculated about the various civilizations of man, using films and texts for a second-hand look at a past which proved relevant to the post Viet Nam era. 6 2 Hi story Mr. Dennis Newton, lectures on entrepreneurs of the late 1900's in intermediate groups during second period. Student assistant Jon Nelson, takes roll during a large group session of Modern Problems. Change of Staff Occurs SOCIAL SCIENCES While preparing students for the real world , the Modern Problems team prepared for a changeover of their own. Team leader Mr. Bob Cantonwine transferred from his teaching post to head the new graduation requirement committee and Mr. Paul Ward completed his 8th and last year of teaching. During the first semester, juniors and seniors studied man's misuse of the ecology, the blueprints of state and local government. Communism and finished with occupational studies. Second semester enrol lees analyzed different economic structures. Sociology classes considered man's behavior from birth to death with the aid of Mr. Steve Betschart, who also taught Psychology. Self analysis and measuring outside influence on personality were favorite topics. Two students, Chris Hayward and Bruce Branson, quickly jot down responses on their Reaction papers in Psychology. Students covered Psycho-Cybernetics, persuasion and outside influences as part of their course matter. Social Sciences 63 - w 1 o Costa Rican student Lydia Esquivel helps Junior Celeste Lyman tape Spanish conversations. Lydia expanded class awareness through her native tongue. Lively Plans Aid Linguists FOREIGN DIALECTS The foreign language classes became more personal than in prior years as teachers, Ken Hankland and Margaret Kelley, attempted to give their students a touch of their foreign country through the use of another language. Beginning language classes concentrated effort on simple conversation, basic grammar and the necessary background of their country. The more advanced classes worked on translating well known French and Spanish works, skits and in-depth studies in listening and writing. Foreign language club sponsored several activities throughout the year which were highlighted by a progressive dinner, a pinata party and a fondue feed with a native French girl as the speaker of the evening. Tapes of Spanish conversations and melodies provoke the interest of native Venezulian, Estela Fernandez. 64 Foreign Dialects Mr. Frank Kettleson points out the proper technique of keeping a vehicle in top running condition. Speakers Spur Interest DRIVER’S EDUCATION Mobile classroom time was well spent and with the use of the responder films, special driving techniques were learned. Guest speakers who talked to the class included men representing several insurance companies and officer Byron Perkins talked about drug problems with teens. The county sanitation spokesman came to talk about health and sanitation problems in Polk County. The in-car instruction required six hours of actual driving. Among the vehicles used were a Ford Gran Torino and a Chevrolet Nova . In the second part of the semester, smoking and drug abuse were topics studied. Communicable diseases and reproduction were also covered to complete the health unit. Instructor Frank Kettleson explains the pitfalls of using drugs to his fourth period health class. Under the watchful guidance of Mr. Frank Kettleson, Darby Gjersvold tries her skill in parallel parking. Driver Education 65 Concession Stand Built INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts career cluster involved itself with several extra projects for the year. The construction classes, directed by Brooks Wagner, built a new concession stand to replace the antiquated orange trailer which had been used in previous years. Students learned basic principles of industrial arts through electricity, metals, power mechanics and woodworking classes . Assembly and disassembly on a four stroke engine, use of basic tools and smelting aluminum were some skills covered. Mr. Stan Church helped the electricity students to apply the power theorem.

Industrial Arts 67 Contact With Youth CADET TEACHING Finding the key to open the minds of their pupils was the task of the cadet teachers . Teaching became a reality as these seniors spent one period a day instructing a class through the cadet teaching program. Guided by Mrs. Nancy Rosenbalm the novice educators found their niche in teaching through weekly notebooks and actual teaching of the class . The activities involving the cadets included the preparation of bulletin boards, the presentation of lesson plans and extra reading assignments programed for their area of instruction. Many of the teachers found themselves befriended by 30 youngsters;who idealized their peers. For most of the cadets the experience proved to be at times, trying and difficult, but always rewarding. Tanya Nairn gets close to her work in assisting Whitworth first graders with their Christmas craft projects. Senior Phyllis Kroeker assists one of her eighth grade students in measuring material. Phyllis, who cadet teaches 8th grade Home-Ec at LaCreole has involved her all-boys class in learning to sew tee-shirts. 68 Cadet Teaching Kathy Sanders is shown lacquering her paper mache wastebasket. This project helped make Crafts I a rewarding course. Creativity ARTS AND CRAFTS Geared to the creative student, the arts and crafts classes were a novel exercise in creativity. Instructors Mrs. Jackie Gwinn and Mrs. Pat Baker, involved those enrolled in varied projects throughout the year. The crafts classes worked with paper mache, rug hooking, salt block carving, bottle cutting, and clay work. A class in leather work was also offered. Through painting and advanced art classes the amateur artists learned to express themselves. They worked with traditional media as they recreated images from their own experiences. Projects were displayed throughout the school allowing the student body to enjoy them. Christmas murals and various posters were exhibited in the halls, as well. A special creative atmosphere was felt in the arts and crafts room as the result of the low-keyed instruction. Steve Ingram carefully shades the foreground of his watercolor in Mrs. Baker's art class. Betty Huff lines in the details of her watercolor line drawing, while other class members complete their work. Arts and Crafts 69 Special Needs Met MATHEMATICS In an ever expanding world where math took on an increasing importance, D.H.S. offered a multi-program of math orientated subjects. Enrollment in the Math 7 class threatened its cancellation and concern from students prompted teachers, Robert Kenyon and Paul Olliff to offer a course in college prep math, with enrol lees acting as teacher students, and studying calculus on their own. In Algebra II the course tempo was slowed; stressing key points and providing a chance for slower students to keep up . Because of the expanding Algebra I program; geometry was moved up to the sophomore year in high school, with a two-year program. Through these classes, and along with basic math. Algebra I and Trigonometry, students were able to find a math course to suit their needs. Solving an equation in two unknowns is Algebra I student Tabor Scrabeck. 70 Mathematics Math 7 students, Sally McPherson and Gordon Elliott study the basics of calculus during their advanced math class. Algebra I students, Bill Turner and Marty Friesen, try to understand Mr. Kenyon's explanation. Sophomore, Marty Isreal, prepares a geometry proof for the class to view and critique. Consumer math student Belinda Garber fills out a self-help booklet on doing your own taxes. Diane Wilkinson and Mike Jepsen learn the techniques of shopping the supermarket bargins from the text. Mathematics 71 New Curriculum HOME ECONOMICS Developing a new curriculum guide that would include both junior highs and the high school was the major task of the four district home economics teachers. Classes in foods were taught by Mrs. Jackie Gwinn while those in clothing, family living, child care and home furnishing were taught by Mrs. Mary Ann Johnson. Practical homemaking was stressed through planning a wedding, studying child development and learning to sew with knits, which increased student involvement. According to Mrs. Johnson; home ec used to stress usefulness alone, but now covers careers as well. Putting the finishing touches on her new curtains is Junior, Terri Saum. The new curtains replaced many of the old ones at D.H.S. Fondue cooking can be fun and it's easy as demonstrated by the Foods III class. Viv Sieroslawski, RoxAnne Bibler, Tammy Newton and Margo Grimes try many new variations, such as dipping apples and bananas in a chocolate sauce. 72 Home Economics Mrs. Stouder assists Terie Edlefsen in correcting her Laurel Knight hurriedly completes a table as part of the office timing during a speed drill in Typing I. skills unit. Updated Programs Realized CAREER ED. Students preparing for careers in business took part in the career education cluster. These classes in office practice, stenography, accounting, typing, business law and marketing prepared the future business men and women for the fast paced world they were soon to face. Hopes for an updated program became a reality through the purchase of new textbooks for typing and accounting, which focused on new methods of correspondence. Studies dealing with supply and demand, balancing budgets, and the effects of the open market on business helped students better understand the business world. Taught by Mrs. Nancy Warner, Mrs. Sally Stouder, Mr. Shawn Mosely and Mr. Charles Wade, these classes provided needed information. The photographer catches Debbie Wilson hamming it up while typing her manuscript in Office Practice II, while June Towes finishes up. Career Ed 73 Sophomore Randy Dyer, constructs a curve in his beginning drawing class. Refining her techniques demands the full concentration of Jeanette Balsbaugh. Graphics Explored TECH DRAWING Technical drawing students started class work with copying and duplication in its simplest form. Attention was placed on one-to-one instruction with open-end assignments allowing students to complete a number of interesting but complicated projects. Perspective Drawing and Art and Motion along with Shape Description were films shown to Mr. Dave Breeden's students. These areas provided occupational preparation to complete a program for those pupils seeking graphic art work in the future. 74 Tech Drawing While hesitating to use the scaleograph, Sophomore Tom Smith tries to think of how to work out his next drawing. Using the grinder to smooth out a project in Metals I is Mitch Hainsworth. Demonstrating safety Mitch uses an eye protector. Modern Techniques Emphasized AGRICULTURE Under the supervision of Mr. Robert Burnham and Mr. Lowell Buswell, more than 150 students were involved in the activities of six different agriculture classes. Some took part in land-leveling surveys and elevation determination. Field trips included a tour of a local slaughter house to study meat processing, a grain elevator and a stock yard. Emphasis of the entire cluster was on modern farming practices and basic farm management. Such areas as farm-shop practices which included welding and mechanics also proved to be a valuable learning experience. Taking good care of your sheep is essential, and Roger Rouleau demonstrates how to drench your sheep to keep it healthy. Looking on are sophomores Mike Jacobson, Pete Osgood, Vince Rundhaug and Don Russ. Agriculture 75 Lopsided Enrollment Noted PHYSICAL SCIENCE A discouraging Physics enrollment and overcrowding in the Chemistry sections were two of the problems that faced the physical sciences department. Physics students profited from an, almost, one to one teacher-student relationship; producing an exciting atmosphere in which to study. Kinematics, dynamics, optics, electricity and fluids filled out a comprehensive program outline for the year. Chemistry flourished during the year and was more popular than in past years. The individual study program allowed amateur chemists to learn and proceed at their own rate under the watchful eyes of their instructor, Mr. Stan Church. Molecular weight, solubility and organic chemistry offered significant learning opportunities for all. Physics student Liz Glendinning sets up an experiment to study the motion of a pendulum. Hard at work on his semester project of making rum, Marti Aebi adjusts the set-up. Determining the weight of a lead shot on the balance scale calls for the sensitive hand of Physics student Gordon Elliott while Sally McPherson looks on. 76 Physical Science Sophomore Laura Graham uses her independant study time to examine her term project on tissue cultures. Feeding, cleaning and caring for hamsters takes up the term experiment time of Bruce Marshall and Terry Kunke. Stacking Petri dishes used to hold Biology species is Junior Dan Burtis. Mini Scheduling LIFE SCIENCE A continued revision by Mr. Bill Glendinning and Mr. Dan Johnson brought a more open program of study to the biology department. After one semester of basic biology, students chose two nine week courses to fill out their science requirement. These mini-courses dealt with such things as plants and animals and their relationships, local ecology and microorganisms. The independent study program continued as a class where amateur biologists could study and conduct experiments on their own. Increased emphasis on personal experiences allowed those enrolled to view the subject with increasing relevance.

I'm in Hi-C, Camp Fire Girls and am active in my church. I also enjoy music and always have - it's a good method of self-expression. I go to all sporting events, plays and concerts; Dallas High has a good atmosphere, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I think we have a pretty good class. There aren't any real spectacular people but a lot of really nice ones. I wish they would straighten out the schedules and get a little more freedom for clubs_____and in- dividuals. The student government does a great job - one of the problems is with the administration - they put down much of what we do. Sometimes I think the staff is more apathetic than the students. People Divider 81 Not Far Behind SOPHOMORES With their first steps inside the front door the sophomores realized they were in trouble; big trouble! The senior bench was the first problem they had to get by without getting shoved, kicked or verbally insulted. The next obstacle was the lockers. Dial the number and it opens. Wrong! Hit it, scream at it, kick it! Maybe it will open; maybe. Alright everybody, sign up for lunch. When? Last period? Oh, well, you can always buy blackmarket tickets from upperclassmen for a dollar more than the original price. It is always nice to have a friend who will keep you from starving. Later, scheduling in the arena. Signing up for American History and Language Arts classes turns out to be the main obstacle of the day. Football players have an extra advantage. It hurts less getting kicked in the shins if you have pads on; And you have what feels like a broken arm and leg. In any case, it's all in the name of good clean fun. One idea was burnt into the minds of the class of '76 - give those sophomores next year as miserable a time as we had this year.

The major involvement of the class centered around the Junior-Senior Prom, Seasons In The Sun . Early in the year foresighted officers started thinking of moneymaking projects; the first being a paper drive in which four tons of recyclables were collected. A Christmas tree sale, which raised more than $500, was coordinated by a dedicated few. Concession work brought class members together for a common goal. Traditional arches made of seasonal flowers were carried by junior girls to fulfill their role in graduation. Work with clubs and organizations, brought recognition like trophies, sports records and national tours. On the other hand, apathy in voting or volunteering time for class projects was seen. In spite of some fragmentation of the group, they were still able to work together by winning the spirit stick and academic honors. 90 Juniors The management of the Hard Rock Mine (Lloyal Baldwin and Don Black) give the miners their pay during an American History simulation.

Juniors 95 We Made It SENIORS Learning to survive in a world which was turned upside down was a major preoccupation for the senior class. On the national front came a defamation of the President, while closer to home the extreme energy crunch forced the class to take a realistic look at the world they would soon be entering. Cruising the gut became a pastime for economy cars only, due to a gas shortage, long lines at the pumps and soaring prices. On the positive side, the class of '74 began receiving the benefits of the efforts of older classes. They enjoyed a greater freedom of expression even though the inconvenience and hassle of school remodeling became a trial. Dreams became realizations for many as they finally launched into the world with their traditional black caps and gowns with friends and relatives looking on in their proud but brief glory. Dominated by seniors, student government dwindled to near inactivity, becoming a group with little purpose or goal. Through it all the seniors refused to let the problems surrounding them stop their search for rewarding careers and futures.

The Way We Were” GRADUATION For 185 ecstatic seniors, a goal of twelve years was finally realized on a climactic May evening. The traditional procession had the graduating class entering through colorful flowered arches, held by junior girls. Following an invocation by Larry Burbank, the audience was warmly welcomed by class president, Lindsey Harms. Valedictorian, Sally McPherson, Salutatorian, Tanya Nairn and class speaker, Jack Scott spoke on school life, graduation and the possible future of class members. A humorous note was provided when the P .A. system picked up the music of Elton John and the Beatles. Then came the memorable moment; proud parents, envious underclassmen and a satisfied faculty watched the class of '74 receive their diplomas, a reward for twelve years of fortitude and perserverance. Following the Alma Mater, the class deserted the assembly amid shouts of joy. Year of the Infant FACULTY With a certified staff of 45 Dallas High opened its doors having only four new faculty members. Various festive evenings highlighted the year with a progressive dinner, the annual chicken feed and several good parties according to one member. Headed by President, Jim Fairchild and assisted by President elect, Bob Kenyon and Secretary, Margaret Kelley, the faculty survived a year of external distractions and entanglements while retaining the close knit relationship of prior years.

Those dining were offered a choice of regular hot lunch or an ala carte line which featured salads, franks and hamburgers, not to mention milkshakes. Occasional changes to plastic spoons became necessary as loss of silver forced their use. Head cook, Mrs. Theresa Anderson, a DHS cook since 1971, handled the hot lunch line while her assistant, Mrs. Mrs. Theresa Anderson - Head Cook Florence Hildebrand, a staff member for five years, took care of the ala carte line.

Miss Valencia, here for one year only, plans to marry and move to Eugene this summer. Mrs. Ginny Weitzel ADMINISTRATION Mr. Kenneth Johnson - Principal Mr. Ken Jacobson - Athletic Director Several problems faced the Dallas High School administration. Setting up new graduation requirements and preparing building plans, along with the daily routine of school kept the top brass busy. Mr. Bob Cantonwine, coordinated teacher planning and initiated graduation requirements to go into effect in 1976. Building plans, which rendered office space inoperable; found some classes home- less and demanded that administrators find new solutions to answers of space and instructional programs. Truancy continued to be a problem as students tried to take advantage of a less restricted campus. In spite of the few who did this, the school leaders sensed a wholesome attitude on the part of most students. Working under a strained system, hampered by limited space and the addition of new programs, the management was forced to seek new methods through inovative ideas. Vice-principal Mr. Bill Fisher found challenges in guiding students to accept a newly-found responsibility. Three-year principal, Mr. Kenneth Johnson maintained his cool during a year of upheaval. And Student Activities director, Mr. Ken Jacobsen was able to take pride in a student account which was solvent. Mr. Ray Speulda Assist. Mr. Bob Wall - Fiscal Director Superintendent Mr. Gordon Kunke - Superintendent 120 Administration DISTRICT OFFICIALS Mr. Bob Wall - Chr. of the Board District Two was guided by the experienced hands of five board members through difficult and trying times. A year that could best be described as hetic, began well back into the summer months with the consideration of building proposals from the various schools. In the fall, work began in earnest on preparing a special building levy for voter approval. After extensive consideration, plans were approved for a new Mr. Cary Elwood - Curriculum Mr. Don Shoe key - Director elementary school for West Dallas, additions at Lyle and Whitworth grade schools, additional classrooms at LaCreole and extensive changes and new construction at the High School. The four million dollar project would put the district well above par in meeting the needs of its patrons. In addition, board members labored for seven months to negotiate a viable contract between employees and the district. The process was Mr. Charles Ziegler - Director Dr. E. A. Flaming - Director complicated by the increased responsibility placed on teachers and board by new laws. Ultimately, a contract was agreed upon based on integrity, fair play and a desire to work together. Finally, the board met its obligation of developing a budget for the coming school year with the help of the budget committee and administrators. The confidence the community had in its spokesman was shown at year's end by voter approval in the April budget election.

I'm a member of GAA and active in basketball and track. Sophomores have lots of school spirit and are fine athletes. Sports give me a chance to make new friends and I get a feeling of belonging; it's thrilling to watch your friends compete and win. Before a game I'm sure that we're going to win. During a game I always concentrate on it: when its over and we've won, I feel terrific - if we've lost it comes as a big shock because I never think of losing. DHS has a real feeling of togetherness - I wouldn't want to go to any other school! A Male Athlete Being a senior gives you more power . I'm not involved in a lot of things - just baseball and Lettermen. As a whole, the students are very friendly. I like to go to sporting events, plays and concerts. Some of the teachers at DHS are pretty good, I like it when we have strict rules that are enforced. Being in a sport helps me get involved - I have to keep my grades up in order to go out for a sport - sports help to pass the time. I want to play baseball in college but you have to be reafly good to get in at college. Dallas has a lot of spirit for sports - that's good!

One highlight in season play came when the Lady Dragons participated in a double round robin tournament. In Astoria, the team had to play an extra game to beat the Fishermen with the fourth match ending 5-11. Following season play, Dallas hosted the C.V.L. Tournament in which the two top teams from each half of the league competed for honors. The Dallas girls claimed a decisive 15-4 victory over Molalla and in the final match, Dallas and Estacada clashed with the outcome a disappointing 16-14 loss for the Dragons. Both Varsity and J .V. were coached by Mrs. Judy Mitchell, with the J.V. team also claiming an undeated season. 124 Sue Schierling, voted most outstanding player, shows great agility in defense while teammate, Ellen Iveans stands ready to assist.

Led by three top runners, HB's Bob Smith and Mel Lange, and FB Rob Souter, the Dragon's offense won much acclaim. The defense was tested when Dallas met McMinnville in a decisive league game. The Dragons scored on a pass interception returned for eighty seven yards, but the final score gave Mac the edge, 7-6. A Homecoming victory over Newberg, and Dragon enthusiasm kept the team alive in the vie for the CVL title. The Dragons then travelled to St. Helens where they fell behind in the second half to drop the game by 21-14. Head Coach Ron August, Line Coach Jim Fairchild, Defensive Coach Paul Ward and Backfield Coach Dan Johnson saw their hopes of a CVL title end. A win over Nolalla was made possibly by outstanding support from the bench.

Even though all weight classes were not filled, the team was able to grapple with such challenges as awkward time schedules and tough competition. Coach Larry Thompson remarked, The team did better than I had expected for a young club and they really did the job. The youthful group welcomed two members of JV, who moved up at mid-year. Trying to keep in step with Varsity was an important task of the JVs. Members of the team spent many hours practicing and improving their skills, as most were beginners and unsure of what lay ahead.

Leading the team were sprinters Bob Smith, Robin Souter and Mel Lange, who hold a record in the 440. Distance runners were led by Larry Bryant, a record holder in the two mile. The weight men were supported by Larry Chambers. The cindermen provided much more competition in the running events than the field events. At the Central relays the track team expected a first place as they had in 1973, but fell short and landed in the third place bracket. Under the coaching of Mr. Paul Ward and Mr. Ron August the team went on to claim fourth in District.

I think the student body is mostly apathetic — the only thing that caused any enthusiasm was football and basketball--we're really apathetic when it comes to planning dances and other things.

However, the high school was not the only place where evidence of conservation during the shortage was visible. Evening driving in downtown Dallas revealed most of the neon lights were no longer glowing as they had in prior years. And in the morning, long lines of cars could be seen, with their drivers patiently waiting to purchase what had become a scarce commodity, gasoline. Reducing speeds on the open highway, joining or forming new car pools, using bicycles or economical compact cars and stores shortening their hours were other signs of the lean times.

After All, Isn't It? A SMALL WORLD It was here, in a small American high school that we laughed, loved and cried. Our experiences were more than an act, they symbolized the expressions of ourselves. In fact, I am myself! was the cry of DHS'ers in '74. Through every activity we saw a relationship; life was a personal celebration stretching along the shore to encompass all those with whom we came in contact. While the community watched we competed for titles and honors in school and we found satisfaction in isolation and came to realize it was a small world. Closing 179 Colleen Fredricks-Editor Mr. Bob Schiopen-Advisor EDITOR’S SWAN SONG Another year (long, hard) has finally ended and another DHS annual is wrapped up. It's never easy to yearbook this year proved that rule. The staff (never close knit) pulled together and got the work done when the time came. With the many regular staff changes and rearrangements, some assuming too much responsibility, while others not enough; life in 18 and 18A was hectic but always worthwhile. Among the problems our staff encountered were: . . .ladder changes that got to be so many that we stopped counting . . . crucial pictures taken and copy written in the last seconds. . .rolls of film lost (mysteriously), some never seen again. . .proofbooks that almost never coincided with the negative file. • .the everyday hassles of staff members with nothing to do. . .developing color film with B. W. chemicals. Boy Glenn, that's strange. . .staff upsets that never lasted too long. . .having to move out of 18A. . .loud rock music finding its way from darkroom to staff-room. . .the uptight editor who never failed to scream at least once a period, just to keep the staff in line. . .work nights for the few loyals . . .printing and reprinting and reprinting color, right Brad?. . .picture thiefs in the middle of a deadline. . .! These were just a few of the things that happened last year I can assure you that there were many more! I'd really like to thank everyone for putting up with me and my blurts of temper. My very real thanks go to Schiop and his family for giving their time to the annual and giving me a chance to really get into journalism. A special thanks from the staff to Mr. Goodkin (friendship smile), to Mr. Sullivan (for being there when needed), to Robin Mulder (photos), and to all our yearbook friends. (Hi, Jerry) Enjoy this book as we have done. wMa V-. A t V A tWv J
