As in previous years, Homecoming was very special, made more so because it happened in 1976. The school year was charged with impressions of every sort. We will all remember the pep skit which had football players guessing which rally girl they had kissed, only to find that they had kissed their own mothers. Memorable too, was the overtime football victory against Astoria. And few of us could forget the more personal moments shared with others. Whether the results were tears or laughter, a shiver of freedom, or a pit in the stomach; these memorable moments helped to give the school year a special importance, one which will last for years to come. Introduction13 4 introduction Introduction 5 SHARING PLEASURABLE MOMENTS Introduction17 REVIVING THE EXCITEMENT 8 lntroduction lntroduction 9 •SOME MEMOS OF, IMPORTANCE Remembering everything is the responsibility of the yearbook copywriter. With this in mind, we need to recall those experiences which were not necessarily the source of pleasure for us. Attitude and involvement of the student body are two good examples. The same perennial complaints were aired by D.H.S.’ers and the results were usually predictable. Comments were made regarding too much control exercised by staff and administration; others suggested that curriculum was not practical or useful. Still more common was the complaint of apathy. It was heard in classes, home rooms, student council, the student lounge, and the faculty room. At times, it seemed that people no longer got involved because of increased obligations and interests outside of school. In spite of this, the goals (often comprised) were reached by a loyal and dependable few. i i i % sJ v 7S' t rr, 10 lntroduction lntroduction 11 12J!ntroduction IDENTIFICATIONS FOR INTRODUCTION Page 2: Craig Stevenson, Don Mack.

ARTS AND CRAFTS CREATIVE SKILLS ENHANCED Joni Green and Leslie Miller try to look up an idea for a project in Crafts I class. “You can create something yourself that reflects how you feel about your environment,” stated art teacher, Mrs. Pat Baker, while speaking of the importance of art to the young person. The ideal of artistic creation included many different sections, all covered by Basic Art Elements, Ceramics, Painting, and Crafts. Creative projects were seen throughout the year in various art displays found in the show cases. Weaving (which included spinning and dying of yarn), batiks, pottery and large paper mache’ sculptures were a sample of the projects involving students. Interest in art grew considerably and due to limited space and facilities, many students were turned away. Young artists went to Portland in December and visited the Art Museum and commercial art school galleries. Later in the year they visited the OCE Student Art Show in Monmouth and the Bush Barn exhibitions in Salem. Doug Strange assists fellow student, Steve Tremaine, as he struggles with his silk screen dragon. 16 Arts Crafts Working out a math equation requires the total concentration of sophomore, Debbie Siemiller rubs her head in amazement as Joni Lange. her instructor describes a formula. MATH A Fraction of the Problem Mathematics included many classes and corresponding skills to challenge the enrolled student. Mr. Bob Kenyon and Mr. Paul Oliff instructed the upper classes, and Mr. Barry Jahn taught General Math and Algebra IA. The math classes included many different areas all the way up to Calculus, though only a few seniors were enrolled. Competencies in the Math Department ranged from basic problems to the very difficult problems which required indepth concentration and knowledge of the area involved. Each instructor had a different method of teaching, but the most popular seemed to be giving assignments and using class discussion as a tool to learning. Junior, Bobbie Jacobsen studies a problem from her Algebra II class. I £ Math 17 AGRICULTURE Off-Campus Activities Noted The Agriculture Department, under department head Robert Burnham regained the use of the greenhouse located behind the new shop area, which had been without electricity for the past year. Another program, which few people know about, is the four acres of land which is used for experimental farming by the agriculture students. The acres provided an opportunity for those enrolled to apply classroom instruction to actual land production. Field trips were also a popular event with students. These included journeys to a farm, where they learned skills ranging from field production to livestock management. Two seniors snow the importance ot wearing protective glasses, while welding farm equipment for an agriculture project. Contestant for an agriculture contest shows his animal as the judge and other people look on. Agriculture students study in the library to perfect a research paper for their class. 18 Agriculture Kim Walsh works on a business project while barricaded behind a stack of books. Receiving instruction from Miss Benson in Typing II is Cariesa Johnson. Senior Teresa Jahn works on filing procedures in a self-regulated business situation BUSINESS EDUCATION Benson Joins Staff Business Education again had many people enrolled in the classes. Much of this was due to the career education credit for many students. Mrs. Sally Benson, Mr. Shawn Mosely, Mrs. Sally Stouder, and Mrs. Ann Gerig were the instructors for this department. Different skills were mastered, such as typing tables, running off dittos, and speed typing, along with many others. Each class attempted to create an office atmosphere to come as close as possible to an “on-the-job” routine. Office Practice I and II are the most popular with Typing class coming in a close second. Business Ed gave very much help to many students pursuing related occupations. Business Education 19 HOME ECONOMICS Boys Enjoyed Cooking, Sewing Home Economics, no longer was dominated by girls. Mrs. Jackie Gwinn, instructor, first taught the increased number of boys basic skills, then covered the “how to’s” in baking appetizers and main dishes. Submarine sandwiches remained a favorite for the second year and provided creative challenge and full stomachs for those enrolled. Girls food classes showed more expertise in food preparation. Complicated dishes like yeast breads, special breakfasts and canning were highlighted. Mrs. Jeanne Lough taught all clothing classes. Clothing I stressed basic skills while other clothing classes offered individual projects, tailoring, fashion design and career study as objectives. Seniors, Ron Stull and Chris Peterson adjust oven temperatures to accommodate the day’s cooking project. Sampling the batter is one advantage of taking Foods class as Lesa Dinsmore and Lisa Punzel find out. Sophomore, Cindy Williams cuts her cake into sections to share with fellow classmates. 20 Home Economics Cadet Teaching involves a great many details, A Whitworth student receives ample assistance from cadet teachers, Joleta Stein as senior JoAnne Friesen finds out. and Cyndi Harris, while two grade-schoolers look on. Cindy Harris and Joleta Stein instruct fourth graders at Whitworth Elementary School in the cadet teaching program. CADET TEACHING New Learning Experiences Cadet Teaching was offered to those senior students who either were considering a career in teaching or wanted to work with young people. The abrupt change from the role of learner to a position of authority was quite an experience for those who participated. Though the program was limited in size, several students took part each semester. Once classroom work was completed, they moved into one of the three grade schools, or the two junior highs in the Dallas area. Without exception, those in this program found it to be both rewarding, different, and indicated that it was an experience they would not easily forget. Cadet Teaching 21 SCIENCE Haack Returned As Teacher Science at DHS was a broad subject and many classes were offered. Of the required classes, the sophomores had Physical Science first semester and Biology second semester. The former covered such topics as light, sound waves, color and mechanical machines. Many competencies were completed in this class, as well as in Biology. Students enrolled kept a notebook of all labs, vocabulary and projects. Films, labs and independent study added interest, while extra credit projects were also an option. Chemistry and Physics were offered to juniors and seniors; each depended heavily on class participation. The new addition to the science department, Bob Haack, returned as a teacher and alumnus. Indulged in an extensive laboratory assignment are sophomores Delmar Marks, Mark Gillins, Patty Kid and Debbie Sharp. 22VScience Mr. Bill Glendinning assists students during a lab project as two of his pupils look on. Science teacher, Stan Church instructs students on procedures for conducting biology experiments. Bill Poole estimates a measurement during a light experiment in sophomore Physical Science. Debbie Siemiller exercises precise evaluation of her laboratory assignment. Science 23 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Teamwork Stressed Expansion in the P.E. Department was seen with the addition of two tennis courts to the originals, bringing the total to four and providing twice as much room for students desiring the tennis unit. At a cost of $500.00, two handball goals were purchased and these enabled a new sport to be covered. For the first time, girls weren’t restricted to wearing P.E. uniforms; rather they were allowed to wear their own attire, as long as it was appropriate. Mrs. Pam Casteel, instructor, felt that the change was for the best, since it eliminated the complaint about everyone having to wear the same uniforms. Boys P.E. classes were involved with many of the same units and skills as were the girls. Popular ones included team handball, basketball and touch football. These went over especially well because of the favorable weather we had, much of the year. Of all activities, bowling was “the hands down” winner in popularity. Connie Wiens demonstrates how to bump a volleyball in her P.E. class as instructor Pam Casteel and teammate Barbara Rivers look on.

Foreign Language Language Useful Listening, speaking, writing and reading were processes the foreign language classes experienced, as in prior years. The listening part included doing certain exercises with the headsets, along with listening to different artists in both Spanish and French. Speaking involved exercises from the textbook and sing-a-longs with the recordings. Each student was also graded on class participation, using the foreign language they were studying. Perhaps most important was writing, because this enforced repetition of the language. Some of these were chosen by the individual teacher. Reading selections ranged from text to fiction and magazine with corresponding exercises. The French instructor was Mr. Sal Passentino, and Mr. Ken Hankland offered Spanish. Guest musician, Dave Holton entertains Spanish students with foreign music and song. Mr. Ken Hankland instructs foreign language students in a game of skill. Foreign exchange students along with their hosts enjoy a festive party honoring them. Foreign Languagef25 Sophomores Roger Ediger, Doyle Comstock, and Dan Birchfield combine efforts to operate machinery located in the industrial arts department. Mr. Breeden instructs senior, Debbie Gish, on a technical drawing problem. 26 lndustrial Arts A 1974J Mr Thayer explains operation of equipment to students enrolled in metals class. Steve Thompson smooths out a drawer for his project in woodshop, each student was required to do a more advanced one for the class. Taking necessary precautions as he uses welding machinery is Junior Bruce Forsberg. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Woodshop Was Number 1 Another constructive year was completed in industrial arts as indicated from those enrolled. Metals, taught by Mr. Gary Thayer, applied creative aspects of working with metal to all types of assembly. Woods I, II and III were handled by Mr. Brooks Wagner, who encouraged completion of projects like dressers, stools and cabinets. Mr. Lowell Buswell stressed applied skills in power mechanics and welding. These classes continued to draw numbers of students who were well aware of the future application of skills gained in the shop area. A DHS sophomore shows a fellow student how to use the drill press during their advanced woodshop class. Industrial Arts 27 LANGUAGE ARTS Department Offered Selection Language Arts, commonly known as English, played a big part in everyone’s graduation requirements, both as credits and competencies. The English department at DHS offered a wide variety of course selections. These classes ranged from Sports Writing to Teaching, Listening, Reasoning, and Argumentations, more recognized as T.L.R.A. Language Arts was divided into the four regular areas; Writing, Literature, Speech, and Language. In the area of writing, such classes as Yearbook, Newspaper, and Creative Writing were offered. Courses like Non-fiction and Fantasy came under the title of Literature. As for Speech, there was Debate and Speech Fundamentals, among many others. Last in the category of Language is Grammar, Language Usage, History and Development of the English Language and other various classes. During the year some work was done on revising competencies along with some minor English electives. Students seemed to appreciate the fact that since English was required, they had a large choice to choose what classes that they would enjoy. Total concentration is a necessity for these foreign language students: Tami Rempel, D'Anne Shockey, Lisa Shipley, and Fabian Garro. Five Juniors prove that there is also time for fun in the busy routine of language arts classes. They are Brad Schmidt, Lynnie Michaels, Rhonda Norman, along with two other unidentified students. 28 Language Arts Short Literature student, Karen Procter, refers to her papers before consulting her teacher about an assignment. Mrs. Maureen Stallard stops to reconsider procedures given to student Kris Ayers about her class project. Veteran Bob Schiopen instructs his Science Fiction class about the requirements for their term projects. Participating in the “Following direction exercise is Senior Jim Ruzicka who tries, with little success, to create a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Language Arts 29 HISTORY Guest Speakers Were Highlight History of Modern America, H.M.A. or simply History, this was the only history class taught at DHS. The class was designed to make students aware of their heritage as Americans, while telling them about the formation of our country. The class started out with the 1920's, the Great Depression, and World War I and II. Foreign affairs from the past to the present were studied, as was domestic affairs. Films and guest speakers livened the semester class, with the big event, the viewing of the movie, “Grapes of Wrath”, to highlight the depression unit. The film took four class periods and gave students a new insight into what “depression days” were actually like. Simulation games, played at times throughout the course, helped those enrolled to understand ideas and experience the reasons behind some historical events. Examples would be, labor strikes and court injunctions. This gave the students the chance to be part of a minority as well as a majority. H.M.A. was offered to juniors, and instructors of the course were Mr. Steve Betschart, Mr. C. J. McLeod, and Mr. Expressionless faces show concentration as they listen to one of the Dennis Newton many lectures held throughout the year. Foreign exchange student, Kathy Devine concentrates on a pressing history assignment. Guest speaker, Mrs. Marilyn Muller highlights regular classroom agenda by presenting the class with worthwhile information. 30 History SOCIAL SCIENCE Psch, Soc. Rated High The Social Science department with three major classes; Modern American Problems, a required course for juniors, Psychology along with Sociology, classes primarily intended for seniors and some juniors, functioned efficiently amid schedule conflicts and requirements. Modern American Problems examined many of today’s governmental and environmental problems. A study of school, city, county, and state government gave students greater awareness of governmental strengths and weaknesses; the way it functions and the problems elected officials have to deal with. The course highlight was a lecture-discussion period by State Treasurer, Clay Myers. Oregon’s unique environmental problems were covered in the spring. Psychology students examined social development by concentrating on the individual. Areas covered included the individual as himself and as a part of a group. Other topics included E.S.P. and Sigmund Freud. Active participation and the ability to communicate came in helpful for those enrolled, in such things as “getting to know you” exercises and creative relaxation. Finally, Sociology was centered around studies that had to do with human groups. The primary goal was to find out how the ’group’ affects the ‘individual’ and topics ranged from society to culture. Mr. Dennis Newton took over the position as department head last year, replacing Mr. Bob Cantonwine. Social Science 31 Stage Band members Greg English, Brent Wall, and Mel Purkerson accompany Dragonaires during a swing Choir Festival. DHS Pep Band provides half-time entertainment for those in attendance at a basketball game. BAND Opportunity Available Band provides opportunity,” stated Mr. Beier, band director at DHS. “Each student has the chance to play a variety of ways.” Popular, contemporary, classical, folk, jazz, and rock music were covered throughout the year. Participants had the chance to perform in a variety of group and solo situations. As in years before, Mr. Dave Matthews assisted Mr. Beier, by working with band members individually and helping with concerts. The band offered five concerts held at the high school, and also attended two festivals, (the C.V.L. festival and the one at the University of Oregon). Of the music they played, “Fiddler on the Roof” was a favorite. The sixteen-member stage band also attended festivals and contests. They performed mainly jazz and rock music, often to Portland audiences. Other activities included the second annual mass band concert and a jazz concert in Beaverton. Band members were active all year long in both practice and performance. Select members perform during the Smileroo celebration parade held in the early fall. 32 Band CHOIR Good Balanced Group Participation in choir continued to be outstanding. Much was accomplished during the school year. They performed in such activities as the C.V.L. Choir Festival and sang at the in-school Homecoming and Christmas assemblies, a warm, early tradition. Choir members practiced for weeks in advance and the results were worth the effort. On concert days, each choir member was more than a little worried about how well they would perform. Just before each appearance, the numbers were sung through nervously and time was spent in prayer so that each person was mentally and physically prepared to do a really good concert. lim Shodin, Bevan Unrau, Teresa Jahn, Andrea Irvin, Grant Jones, Brent Unrau Becky trebs, and Bobbie Jacobsen sing for a grade in choir. a new song while Grant Jones looks on. “Let's bring out the tenor part just a bit more, directs Mrs. Nancy Rosenbalm during choir. ADVERTISING :New Shopping Patterns Dallas vigorously faces new year, stated a quote from a recent headline in the Oregon Statesman, regarding progress in Dallas. It certainly was a change of the established look of Dallas, one that has made its impact on these Dragon pages as well.

Late in January, the class won competition treats for their outstanding spirit. The annual canned food drive proved very successful in fund raising for the class of 79”. Unique in many ways, the sophomores were the second year students worked on the new adopted competency system, which was required for high school graduation. Sophomore participation in student council was a strong point. Many students were council representatives and one was elected as Sgt. at Arms. As a whole, the 232 member class of 79” worked hard to develop a sense of belonging.

Class members showed a great deal of enthusiasm and spirit, while supporting fellow juniors in those activities. Chosen classmates presented an excellent and romantic prom for the seniors and guests. They demonstrated that hard work is necessary for success. In the fall, those who showed up had a carwash and were active in concessions to raise needed funds. The class was 230 members strong and most played a major role in creating memories that will last a lifetime. With growing enthusiasm and the commendable ability to put it to good use, the juniors ended their eleventh year of school with the girls holding flowered arches at graduation, and all members looking forward to a final year of academic effort.

Juniors 53 SENIORS I Am Not Afraid Of Tomorrow, In many ways the class of 1977 was much like those before in attitudes, interest and performance. Enough enthusiasm was generated to show well at pep assemblies and an involved few dominated government, athletics and social activities. Nearly ten of the class took advantage of the early graduation program, while others earned campus credit at night. The majority of this group had part time jobs, with many on one or more periods of work release. Demonstrations of class unity were rare but positive on such occasions as the “Carefree Gum” contest and graduation. By years end, the twelfth graders were often preoccupied with various traditions like picture trading, card exchange and announcements. Though few expressed any regret of leaving, most felt some sense of loss mingled with relief in getting the job done. After graduation, what remained as mute testimonial to the class was a series of contrasts: trophies and water guns, academic awards and street graffiti, graded term papers and rebel yells.

BACCALAUREATE New Patterns Stressed “When The Tassle Is Moved” was the topic of the 1977 Baccalaureate services. Mrs. Walter Funk accompanied the processional as the graduates filed into the gymnasium. Rev. Bob Ross gave the invocation, upon which Rev. Ted Fast led the congregational singing of “Onward, Christian Soldiers”. Two selections of special music were provided by Randy and Pam Benson. Rev. Ray Russell read Ecclesiastes 12:1 to the graduating seniors. “Don’t let the excitement of being young cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before the evil years come - when you’ll no longer enjoy living.” After Rev. Pete Unrau finished his speech “When the Tassle is Moved”, Rev. Fast led the congregation in Have Thine Own Way, Lord” and the crowd dispersed after the benediction. Attendance by seniors was high and the overall feeling was that the service was very beneficial. When the Tassle is Turned is the title of Have Thine Own Way Lord” sings Kay Aebi, Pam Johnson and Debbie Salter near the Reverend Unrau's Baccalaureate address. end of the ceremony. The event was well attended and offered inspiration and advice to the graduates. Baccalaureate 67 Graduates reach the climax of the commencement exercises as they move up on to the stage to receive their diplomas from Board Chairman Bob Wall and Principal Ken Johnson. Class speaker, Russ Panter expands on the idea that the graduates need more time to adjust to the future. GRADUATION A continuing tradition of commencement is the processional through the flowered arches, here experienced by Dena Turner. Senioritis Claims Its Toll The class of 77 completed twelve years of school with one hundred, ninty-eight seniors graduating at the Commencement ceremony. Highlights included enlightening speeches by class valedictorians Kris Trom, Rosemary Regier, Gary Bird, and Patti Thiessen and Salutatorian Renee Ronco. All were chosen for their superior grade point averages. The ceremonies were held outside despite weather forecasts of rain. Each senior girl carried a white rose during graduation. Class speaker, Russ Panter, gave a humorous speech, often referring to “immature, acne-covered adolescents as the graduates are sometimes jokingly called. But Russ added that the society must give the class of 77 a chance to prove themselves, and not to expect too much, too fast. The class of 77 graduated with many honors and memories they will retain for a lifetime. 68 Graduation Leading graduates onto the football field at graduation are Tanya Poole, Wanda Rhoads, Judy Palmer, Mike Wall, and Brenda Balshweid. Graduates Jeanne Pauls and Randy Small enjoy a few moments of clowning around while preparing for commencement exercises. The Salutatorian address is delivered by Renee Ronco. She spoke of the need for commitment to a goal of success in life to the graduates. Graduation 69 Principal: Ken Johnson Superintendent: Gordon Kunke Activities Director: Ken Jacobson Vice Principal: Bill Fisher ADMINISTRATION Career Ed. Coordinator: Ed Caillier New Addition Another school year brought many of the same functions and problems as in the past. Clerical duties of attendance, which had been handled by Vice Principal Bill Fisher, were turned over to Mrs. Sonja Ely, a new addition to DHS. Mr. Fisher was thus able to concentrate on student discipline and supervision problems. As a result, the attendance problem was somewhat curbed. Principal Ken Johnson continued another busy year of meetings, conferences, committee activities and an endless list of related responsibilities. He also found time for overseeing school operation while coordinating administrative action. Mr. Ken Jacobson handled student body finances and directed the athletic program. Mr. Ed Caillier, supervised the Business and Career Education classes. He also advised the rally squads. 70 Administration DISTRICT OFFICIALS New Central Office School District 2 enjoyed the expanded facilities offered at Sarah Morrison School, after having experienced cramped office space downtown for many years. The new offices have also allowed for all divisions to be located in one building. The change was accompanied by new members on the school board. Mr. James Wall exchanged places with Mr. Charles Zeigler who had been chairman of the board. New members were Mrs. Archie Schmidt and Mr. John Twomey who was the Food Service Manager. After observing several years of continuing deterioration of behavior and attitude at the high school level, it was noted by Asst. Supt. Speulda, that a much more positive environment was felt this year. Asst. Superintendent: Ray Speulda Director: Shirley Schmidt Chrmn. of the Board: Jim Wall Director Phyllis Bullock Director: Chuck Zeigler Director: Bob Berends District Officials '71 FACULTY Four Added To Staff A total of thirty-eight faculty members coordinated the educational program at DHS. Using standard formats in previous years, the educators coped with a variety of plant and student-related problems; classroom atmosphere was varied and ranged from casual to formal. Outside of class the staff worked with students in developing a more positive and responsible student body and assisted with such school related tasks as course revision, district coordination of goals and objectives and maintaining the agreement with the board. One faculty member summed up the school year by saying, “It was a productive year. The competencies were a challenge, but we got through it.” Counselor Miss Barbara Benson — Business Education Mr. Steve Betschart — Social Science Mr. Dave Breeden — Industrial Arts Mrs. Pat Baker — Fine Arts 72 Faculty Mr. Ron August — Physical Education Mr. Leroy Gilbert • Language Arts Faculty 73 Mr. Robert Haack — Science Mr. Barry Jahn — Mathematics Mr. Glenn Knight — Language Arts 74 Faculty Mr. Ed Jones • Counselor Mr. Ken Hankland — Language Arts Mrs. Jackie Gwinn — Home Economics Faculty 75 Mr. Stanley Church — Science Mr. Robert Schiopen — Language Arts Mr. Dennis Newton — Social Science Mr. Sal Passantino — Language Arts 76 Faculty Mrs. Sally Stouder — Business Education Wrs- D,ane Weaver — Special Education Faculty 77 COOKS AND CUSTODIANS New Programs Proved Helpful The new “Rainbow” lunch program which was implemented, made fresher and more nutritious meals available to students. Less food was wasted and left over by offering students a selection. Head cook Mildred Schrenk prepared the meals. Mrs. Schrenk worked a six hour shift with an assistant cook who worked a three hour shift. Four DHS students helped in the kitchen, working dishwashers and serving. Custodian, Pete Hayner, also felt that combining the two lunches was useful in cutting down on vandalism. Vandalism in DHS decreased after the start of the new semester, with stricter enforcement of hall passes. Custodial shifts were spread throughout a twenty four hour day, seven days a week. The custodian’s duties included checking boilers, and taking care of necessary details during the day.

That seems to apply when it comes to Mrs. Dorothy Ross, head secretary at DHS. Clerical work ranged from opening mail to recording absences, and everything in between. Staff additions included Mrs. Gloria Higby, Miss Pam Mercer, and Miss Pam Miller. Miss Miller took care of attendance records. Mrs. Fisher compiled competency records in the guidance office and Mrs. Higby and Miss Mercer both worked in the main office as necessary.

SCIENCE CLUB Regular Meetings Held Science club, advised by Bill Glendinning, involved only six members last year. They limited their activities to having a booth at the Smileroo and working in concessions. Since they didn’t spend any money, their funds became larger, and can add to next year’s budget. The plants they sold at the Smileroo were grown by the members of the Science club. Selling house plants propagated in the school green-room” calls for tht attention of club member Ron Thorpe during Smileroo. 86 Science Club G.A.A. Lloyd Center Draws Many Many of the girls who were active in fall, winter, and spring athletics comprised the ’76-77 Girls Athletics Association. Led by their co-advisors Mrs. Jeanne Lough and Mrs. Pam Casteel, the girls had a very busy year. They began with an all-day, shopping trip to the Lloyd Center in Portland. The members window shopped, snacked, and shared an altogether good time. Their next excursion saw them lend a helping hand to the Lettermen during their annual Heart-Fund Drive. Neither the fall, winter, nor spring sports awards desserts would have been complete if it weren’t for the GAA girls. They were a great help in both decorating and serving each evening. The club was headed by president Punky Newland. Caryn Zeigler accepts the state consolation trophy from girls’ coach Kathy Voves.

G.A.A. 87 FALL PLAY A Bad Day at Gopher's Breath The opening scene of the play, A Bad Day at Gopher's Breath. “A Bad Day at Gopher’s Breath,” the fall play at Dallas, was a melodrama and proved quite successful. Judging by a large turn-out at each of the performances, DHS’ers enjoyed this kind drama. The play opened with the Rawlin’s Gang coming to Gopher’s Breath in an attempt to rob the Finger-doo bank. The gang fails and then things start going wrong. Sheriff Amos Crutch-waffle, played by Wayne Wellman, gets into a gunfight with Rawhide, the leader of the gang, portrayed by Brian Glendinning. The fight is broken up when Fat Jack Caldwell, played by Brad Pauls, starts a fight with Amos instead. Belle, played by Sheri Sinclair, is in love with Sheriff Crutchwaffle and overhears him say that he is going to Mexico with the banker’s niece, Bambi Finger-doo, played by Debbie Hall. Belle “plugs” Amos who makes much of his death scene. Other players included Mageara Jarvis portraying Pandora and Chuck Forbes as General Armstrong Custard. A new type of setting was used in the play. It was called “space-stage.” The lighting was handled by seniors, LaVern Fast and Steve Thiessen. Mr. Klein, director of the play, stated, “I was very impressed with the actors and back-stage technicians; also the lighting was very well done.” All props were handled and supervised by junior, Fay Swartzen-druber. “Alright boys, stand back,” says Ralph Rawlins (Brian Glendinning), as he protects Miss Finger-doo (Debbie Hall).

KEY CLUB Christmas Trees Sold Key Club, which continues to operate in Dallas High School, held weekly meetings each Tuesday to discuss club activities. At one of these, Key Club officials presented talks and led discussions on how the group fits into community affairs. The Smileroo celebration also proved to be profitable for the club, with members working shifts in their booth. Members kept in close contact with the national office, through one of their own members, Bill Bucquoy, who served as district governor. One annual activity, the sale of Christmas trees, brought in needed funds for their community service projects. One of these was the painting of fire plugs to make them more attractive. Club members were justifiably proud of the quality found in the cultured Noble firs. These trees were strong sellers with Dallas residents.

FORENSICS Attended Many Tournaments Mr. Knight renewed an old friendship in resuming as coach of the speech team after several years absence. According to members, the long time advisor had lost none of his zest and enthusiasm for speech and worked long and hard to bring his squad in to state competition. As a result, renewed interest was generated in the program, climaxing in an awards dessert, at which recognition was given to various members of the fifteen person squad who put special effort into their work. The debate topic, “Should there be a national health program? was the concern of many. Four DHS students attended the state speech meet, which was the biggest and most competitive in recent years. Forensics 91 HELP. CLUB Recycling Efforts Appreciated A continuing high membership of fourteen gave way to one of the more active groups in DHS. H.E.L.P. Club’s major reform was a collaboration with the Dallas area Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanis helped considerably with monthly recycling efforts. They included a breakfast board meeting held every month and the operation of the monthly collection of recyclables, on the corner of Washington and Main. In the fall, H.E.L.P. clubbers used some of their hard-earned money on a trek to Portland, where they visited the Portland Recycling Team. After a winter of hard work they celebrated by spending their “spring fling at the coast. Other activities of the Dallas recycling group included EARTH WEEK activities, the Dallas Smileroo and the study of state environmental legislation. Whether it was stubborness or the will to survive, this club kept alive. Enthusiastic Kiwanis club member Curtis Lamb works diligently on the recycling truck and greets the public. Breaking recyclable glass requires concentration and a smile as shown on the face of Megaera Jarvis. 92 H.E.L.P.

Parliamentary Procedures The Future Farmers of America appealed to those interested in agriculture-related areas. Throughout the year, the club was involved in exploring improved farming methods through study and practical experience. Members sold Christmas trees, cleaned sheep sheds, and had a booth at the spring carnival as money making projects. The spring banquet provided the setting for the announcement of the new F.F.A. officers and presentation of awards. The dairy production award was presented to Mark Gillms; the livestock production award to Dan Dayhoff; the placement in Agriculture production to Lonnie Carver. Cory Ritz received the poultry production award; Mark Stevenson claimed the sheep production award. Clarence Villwock was recognized in Agriculture Mechanics and Susan Thorpe in public speaking. Lonnie Carver also received the De Kalb Corn award, and was named F.F.A. member of the year. Mr. and Mrs. Don Roberto Silvelra. Those involved were continually on the go and this organization continued to be productive and meaningful. F.F.A. 93 HONOR SOCIETY Fall Induction Noted Fall tapping was the big event for the 76-77 Honor Society group. Honor Society continued to require its members to maintain a arade point averaae of at least 3.20 in order to join. Potential members were also reauired to fill a petition and application for membership. Those who did apply were first approved by the faculty Activities which highlighted their year included an enjoyable induction candlelight ceremony. It was held in the school library with Superintendent Gordon Kunke presenting a short address. New members were given the oath of membership and refreshments were served directly following the event. Advisor Mr. Ed Jones provided ideas and encouragement throughout his las year as advisor. Honor Society member Eric Thomas receives, with pleasure, his diploma from school board chairman, Jim Wall.

All DECA members invited their bosses out and made a night of it. Mrs. Nancy Warner presented Mr. Weaver with the award. As in previous years, the marketing classes operated the school store where a number of students had after-school jobs. Select representatives of the Dallas High group attended the state DECA conference held in Portland where they competed in such skills as job interviews, advertising, ad sales, and demonstrations. Members won a number of awards’ and the Dallas team scored high in the overall running.

FOREIGN RELATIONS Fabian, Roberto Attended DHS Developing more positive relationships between Dallas and other countries was one reason for our participation in the foreign exchange programs. Participants included Sue McQueen, who represented Dallas as a student in the Phillipines. Dallas also had their exchange students in the person of Fabian Garro of Costa Rico, Roberta Silviera of Brazil, and Kathy Devine of Australia. When asked how he liked Dallas, Fabian replied, “I like it a lot because the people are so friendly.” When asked if he liked the U.S. better than his own country, Roberto replied, It is similar to my country but Brazil is still my homeland.” All of the exchange students enjoyed the year, in school and out. Sue was involved in many activities in her “home away from home”. She participated in activities such as Rotary club meetings, swimming, and other sports. Sue stated that she likes her own home better because of the different routine in Phillipines, where she attended an all-girls school. All the students in the exchange program met a lot of new people and had many memorable experiences. Roberto and Mike Wall take a few moments of relaxation prior to the 220 sprints in a home meet with Forest Grove. Fabian Garro, foreign exchange student from Costa Rica, seems to enjoy the popular serpentine activities during Homecoming Week. Foreign Relations 97 WINTER PLAY Lion In Winter It is Christmas at Chinon, France. The year is 1183, a time when all of Europe was ruled by kings and queens. This was the setting for the winter play, A Lion in Winter , a comedy drama depicting the lives of King Henry Plantagenet (played by Rusty Panter) and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine (played by Megeara Jarvis). The play dealt with King Henry’s fear of his wife’s power, and how he kept her under lock and key. At the extreme, Henry allowed her to come out only during holidays and state occasions. While Henry fought with Eleanor, their three sons Richard (Bill Bucquoy) John, (Chuck Forbes) and Geoff, (Jeff Seeley), fought for the right to heir the kingdom. This left Alais and Phillip Capet (Leza Child and Grant Jones) helplessly in the middle. This inter-weaving and intrigue among the personalities of the characters, are as calculated as the moves on a ‘chessboard’, stated Director John Klein. The effect was heightened by the use of period costumes, which also added to the plays subtle humor. Eleanor, Queen of Aquitaine, comforts her ‘favorite' son Richard 98 Winter Play Expressions on the faces of King Henry (Russ Panter) and Phillip (Grant Jones) show their usual clashing of the minds.

Winter Play 99 VARSITY RALLY Group Organization At some time during the school year, students have probably attended at least one of the pep assemblies. These assemblies were organized and worked out by the Varsity Rally members who consisted of Leza Child, Penny Bail, Kathy Sweet, Debbie Profitt, Lynnie Micheals, and Lori Welfley. These girls spread spirit and fun throughout the school, and worked very hard to perform at the games and present pep assemblies. The girls were particularly busy during Homecoming; they sponsored the serpentine and sock-hop, a poster party and a spaghetti feed for the players. Money made by bake food sales and the mums went to buying treats for the players on game days. Mr. Callier, who was their advisor, gave encouragement throughout the year. While at rally camp they earned a spirit stick and trophy along with four ribbons for their outstanding efforts. “Although it took time and work, it was a fine year and we all got along well,” stated Leza Child.

Varsity Rally 101 J.V. RALLY Valuable Experience The 1976-77 Junior Varsity rally consisted of four sophomore girls who kept busy making posters and helping plan the many assemblies. The girls cheered at J.V. football and basketball games, as well as at the Varsity football games. They had a lot of money-making projects, the proceeds of which went for buying goodies” and treats for the players. The squad contributed both enthusiasm and excitement and they enjoyed all rally-related activities. Without exception, each girl considered her experience as a rally squad member to be valuable.

DRAG0NA1RES 1st At Festival Dragonaires consisted of twenty vocalists, selected early in the school year, by Mrs. Nancy Rosenbalm. Members chose black and white for their outfits, though they did not actually wear them until second semester. Participation attended various concerts and the highlight was the swing choir festival in the spring. Three sophomores worked with seventeen juniors and seniors combining theirtalents in singing to produce a superior sound. Many of the Dragonaires also sung with the choir during the year. Members practiced during early class, and would, at times, draw guite a large crowd who listened at the door. Dragonaires included from right to left, Top Row: iyle McCaw, Eric Thomas, Bevan Unrau, Scott Tilgner, Kevin Rempel, Grant Jones, John Snyder, Ron Colley, Mel Purkerson, Brent Wall and Greg English. Bottom Row: Andrea Irvin, Julie Wiebe, Leza Child, Judy Palmer Lori Hilborn, Rhonda Dickerson, Bobbie Jacobsen, LaDonna Richert, Sherri McIntosh and Tami Rempel.

Attendance at the four performances was less than expected. The cast consisted of DHS students and two youngsters, Carolyn and Larry Hall. Theatre Board Director, Wanda Rhoads offered this reaction, “The play has got to be the most spectacular play DHS has ever put on.” Selected scenes were also performed for the Women’s Extension and for the Dallas Woman’s Club and the entire play was done for Sprague High School in Salem. Authentic costumes from the forties were used and the realistic set created a genuine Polynesian atmosphere. The cast enjoyed the many moments of humor and the small but appreciative audiences did as well. Director John Klein kept the performances moving and most of those involved also enjoyed themselves.

Last year’s Queen, DeeAnn Klann (Hiebenthal), was there to crown the new 76-77 prom queen, Deanna Raines, who was escorted by Joel Stein. Other members of the court included Kay Aebi, Becky Krebs, Debbie Profitt, and Kristin Trom. Shades of blue and silver added a romantic touch to the prom and were carried out through the use of painted backdrops and crepe paper. Stars were seen in abundance, with large foil ones catching the light and adding to the mood. Those attending were seated at tables for four and many enjoyed the delicious punch and refreshments. Following the affair, many couples were seen dining at special restaurants where they finished the evening in style. Not only the dancers enjoyed the 77 ead singer. prom as shown on the face of the Goliath” Kristin Trom escorted by Dennis Sanders Debbie Profitt escorted by Matt Posey Kay Aebi escorted by Greg Jones Becky Krebs escorted by Bernie Bennett PROM COURT QUEEN Deanna Raines escorted by Joel Stein 106 Prom Larry Briggs and his date dance to the slow music ottered tnrougnout tne evening as surrounding couples enjoy the rhythm also.

Mr. Ron August took over as the club’s new advisor. During the year the group purchased 100 baseball caps which they sold to DHS'ers and supporters alike. The hats were orange and white featuring the school name on the front. Leading the club was President Tom Ottaway, Vice president, Kim Cagle and Secretary-Treasurer Gary Rettler.

Campus Life Popular Fellowship and sharing proved to be the common bond among Hi-C members at Dallas High. Meetings were good times as students shared in song, devotion, and testimony. Although activities were limited, the Hi-C members enjoyed the Campus Life program which was held regularly throughout the year. A highlight for even more than just members was the Barry Moore Crusade held earlier in the school year. A special after-game presentation by Barry Moore, ex-basketball player Darryl Imhoff, and the Dallas alumni - “Rocky Bottom Boys” attracted a full house with more than 25 people going forward.

Money saved for two years made it possible to go to the Shakespearean festival in Ashland. Five plays seen were featured by professional actors. The concession stand was operated by the Theatre Board during the games and it was their major source of income for the trip. Directing manager of the club was Wanda Rhoades; assistant manager, Jeff Seeley; props and make-up, Peggy Berry; costumes, Magaera Jarvis; publishing, Rusty Panter.

Pizza And Bunnies Highlight The Future Business Leaders of America (F.B.L.A.) Club was again open to all students enrolled in Business classes as well as those students considering a career in business. Emphasis was placed on areas pertaining to business jobs and working to improve the members' skills. F.B.L.A. members competed in the district business skills contest, and then the state F.B.L.A. contest with fifteen students competing. The state contest, held in April, saw Kris Trom taking first place in the economics competition; Rosemary Regier placing second in the extemporary speaking competition; and Gary Bird claiming fifth in business law. Areas of competition included ten key adding machine, poster drawing, business law, office procedures, clerical typing, and stenography. Among the fund raising activities held was the making of stuffed bunnies which were sold to the student body at Easter time. HOMECOMING If You Leave Me Now Jungle enthusiast, Bobbie Jacobsen tries to familiarize SKid row Attendants for the Homecoming Queen, Tony Olliff and D'Anne victim, Fay Swartzendruber with Homecoming activities. August, disagree on who should go first to the stage. Homecoming was one time when everyone joined together to bolster fellowship and spirit among students of D.H.S. Much planning and work started with Art Club doing the decorations for the coronation assembly and dance. This assembly opened the week with the crowning of Bonnie Locke as Homecoming Queen. The Homecoming theme for 1976, “If You Leave Me Now”, was sung to the Queen during the festivities. Monday was Dress-up Day with a poster painting party held after school. Tuesday was “Afro” Day featuring unusual hair-dos. That night, the Varsity Rally held a spaghetti feed for the varsity football players. Wednesday, participants came to school dressed as Hobos and on Thursday they wore jerseys. The Serpentine introduced the court and Varsity Footballers to the public. A dance was held afterwards. Friday was Orange and Black day climaxed by a one-hour pep assembly. The Senior Class won a spirit stick for the week. That night the Dragons defeated Newberg, 35-6. Halftime introduction of the Court had Queen Bonnie welcoming the crowd and urging them to attend the dance, with music courtesy of the group, “Rig-a-ma-role” from Monmouth.

STUDENT COUNCIL Educated Officers Student Council members spent much of their time raising funds for the statewide project, shaping up Champoeg Park. They operated a concession stand during football season, held a spaghetti feed in the fall, sold Nick-O-Grams during the Christmas season, and held the second annual school carnival in the spring. The group also sponsored all major dances, with the exception of the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Advisors Mr. Jim Fairchild and Mr. Ken Jacobsen felt that the major problem encountered was lack of student body participation. “With a student body of approximately 650 and a council of 50, we still have the same fourteen or fifteen who are willing to do anything,” stated Mr. Fairchild. The officers were active before the school year started as R. L. Mulder and Brenda Balsweid attended the Student Council Workshops held at the State Department of Education. Monthly, throughout the year, two officers at a time attended student body Officer meetings held around the state. In regular meetings, room representative feedback was definitely a strong point, and showed increased student interest. student Council 115 Patiently working with a potter’s wheel is Art Club member Bill Joy. ART CLUB Tours Enjoyed Art Club continued very active both in and out of school. Members worked in concession stands at football and basketball games and sold handmade sand candles and cookies at noons. They used some funds to present both a plaque and gift for the outstanding boy and girl artist at the senior awards program. Club activities included a trip to a Portland art gallery and a glass blowing exhibit; plus their annual spring jaunt to the beach. This outing was made more interesting as they enjoyed several restaurants along the way. Numerous in-school art exhibits allowed both beginning and advanced artists to display their talents, and club members offered their time in the painting of backdrops and settings for dances and coronations. 116 Art Club Queen Bonnie Locke and escort Lynn Fast make their last walk at the coronation assembly. Lynnie Micheals, Lori Welfley and Kathy Sweet perform a skit as Dennys Angels.” PEP ASSEMBLIES Spirits Raised The display of school spirit was inconsistent though strong, as the rally squad called for participation from almost everyone. Most pep assembly programs followed a similar pattern. Opening with yells and chants and then developing audience involvement through the use of skits and parodies. Dexter Dragon appeared at many times to lead in yells and perform in skits. Cakes and “goodies” were presented to the pep band and athletes for outstanding performances, while more more spirited rooters were showered with “penny” candy for their efforts. The sophomore class battle it out at a noise-maker assembly. Pep Assemblies 117 DANCES Attendance High Besides the informal dances that were held, three formal dances highlighted the year. The Homecoming and Valentine dances, and the Junior-Senior Prom took much planning and work in preparation. The fact that there were only three, added much to the excitement and anticipation that surrounded these dances. The excitement was created in part by the formality and romance leading up to the night of each event. The memories that resulted will be treasured by many and remembered by all. The formal dances brought excitement and glamour to DHS’ers. Throughout the year “disco” (recorded music) dances were held. Each class and some of the clubs sponsored these dances. Evidence of popularity was the attendance, with almost half the student body showing up to “boogie”. At first, some of those attending were hesitant to get out on the dance floor, but when they did, they enjoyed themselves. D.J.’s volunteered to entertain the students with music and comment. In short, the disco’s were a big success and enjoyed by many. A group of DHS'ers dance to the theme of “I Like Dreaming” during a formal dance. Quite a large number of DHS students find time to “boogie down” at one of the many disco dances held this year after games. 118 Formal Dances Senior Jeff Horak and Joni Green rest and enjoy the music at the Homecoming Dance.

With the exception of one member, no “staffer” had more than one semester of experience. Advisor Mr. Bob Schiopen chose co-editors as leaders and each staff member was put in charge of a certain area. Because of a lack of depth, staff members handled a variety of assignments. The Dragon staff decided, once again, to contract with Josten’s American Yearbook Company, for the printing of the book. The copy, on the other hand, was set at the Itemizer-Observer in Dallas. More color was used than ever before. A total of ten color pages enhanced the black and white pages that dominated the book. The majority of the class attended the state-wide press convention in Eugene where ex-governor, Tom McCall spoke on his life as a journalist. The workshop sections offered those attending new ideas in yearbook and newspaper production.

Mrs. Maureen Stallard commuted from Corvallis to replace Jim Fairchild. As in the past, the class did their own paste-up at the Itemizer-Observer, with the ten staff members taking turns working on it every other Thursday evening. At these sessions work often continued until 6 p.m. or later. Co-editors led the class to a successful year. They were seniors Wayne Kester and Terri Launer. The shortage of staff members working on the newspaper proved a handicap according to the advisor. The result was more than a little pressure in getting out the bi-monthly production. Problems which the staff attempted to handle included page make-up, use of display type and complete coverage of school activities. A group of upperclassmen discuss strategy for the next DT issue during class. Newspaper photographer, Pat Anderson, perfects his technique in rapid sequence shooting.

Dragon Tales 121 OUTDOOR EDUCATION Advanced Survival Learning to survive with a group of sixth graders for four days and three nights proved to be quite an experience for the many high school counselors who participated in Outdoor Education. Before setting off to camp, those involved were required to attend preparation classes held after school. Upon arriving at Camp Kilowan, high schoolers were greeted by a group of enthusiastic sixth graders ready for four days of excitement and adventure. During the day classes were held in such things as Wildlife, Map and Compass, and Arts and Crafts. The high point of each day was the evening campfire, where all joined in singing songs and presenting skits. One interesting experience involved two Oakdale Heights counselors who tipped over a canoe while racing and had to swim out of the chilly water before the arrival of the youngsters. This led to the joking and kidding of the counselors by the rest of the camp. All in all, this program proved to be a very rewarding experience with pleasant memories for everyone.

SPECIAL EVENTS Students Involved Many “special” events occuring in and around our school raised the hearts and spirits of those who participated. This in turn brought a lot of students close together. Some of those moments were the coronation assembly with its touching formalness and glamour; spirit rallies which encouraged creativity and participation and the Barry Moore assembly, at which students were challenged to examine their personal values in light of a changing morality. From serious to just plain fun, those extra moments in the school day provided pleasant diversion.

After posting a record of 10-2 during the regular season, the “Lady Dragons” confidently advanced to the district playoffs. Hoping to claim the league title, the ladies were beaten by Sandy in three games. Astoria came next in line and also beat Dallas in three games, ending their season at 10 and 4. After beating Sweet Home in straight games during their opener, the Lady Dragons were beaten by a tough McMinnville team, 15-13, 13-15, 13-15. In the next match, the girls kicked off a six-game winning streak. During the string, Dallas beat all contenders in straight games, with the exception of St. Helens 9-15,15-10, 15-7. Astoria, who was victimized during the streak, ended any ideas of seven games in a row by taking the first and last games of the match. To end their regular season play, the volleyballers, “polished off” St. Helens, Sweet Home, and Newberg, all in straight games. A feeling of what could have been is one way to summarize the ladies’ efforts. After a strong regular season, the league playoffs were a letdown for them, and coach Mrs. Jeanne Lough was left trying to regroup the squad for next season.

VOLLEYBALL Initiative Displayed The 1976 J.V. volleyball team compiled its season record of 8-4, while playing in the highly competitive Coast Valley League, in their opener against Sweet Home, the J.V.’ers ran into a brick wail in the first game of the match, losing 6-15. Dallas swept the remaining two games and won the match. The next encounter against McMinnville ended in the Grizzlies favor, (our score first) 14-16,15-12, 8-15. In the following three matches, Dallas swept St. Helens, Forest Grove, and Astoria in straight games to run their record to 4-1. Next to face was Newberg, and the Ladies dropped this match in two games; they went on to lose again to McMinnville in three games. Forest Grove was then drubbed 15-0,15-5, to kickoff another winning streak; as Astoria, St. Helens, and Sweet Home were also downed by the Volleyballers. A hope to end the season on a winning note fell short, as Dallas lost a tough match to Newberg 10-15,13-15. With a strong winning percentage of 667, coach Pam Casteel’s volleyballers demonstrated a competitive spirit towards victory.

It was the use of these basics that gave the J.V. Dragons a successful six win-three loss football season. The six-three record was a noticeable improvement over the record of 2-5-1 the J.V.’s compiled as freshmen. Season play for the Baby Dragons began on the home field of the South Salem J.V.’s. In a steady rain, Dallas edged the Saxons by a hard-fought score of 14-13. The following Thursday, the J.V.’ers returned home and ran their record to 2-0 with a convincing 34-14 win over Sandy. Dallas traveled to Silverton for the following game and turned in a fine defensive performance, as they annihilated the Foxes 36-0. With a record of 3-0, the “gridders” came home to face Estacada. With less than a minute left, and score tied 20-20, Dallas was deep in their own territory. A pass was intercepted by Estacada, and the Rangers scored to win the game 28-20. The following week, the J.V.’s regrouped to defeat Forest Grove in a defensive battle, 14-9. After the relatively low score mustered against the Vikings, Dallas uncorked their offensive attack to thrash St. Helens by a score of 50-14. Next encountered were the Newberg Tigers, and the “hometowners” made “butter” of the Tigers 36-12. This victory meant something extra to Coach Bob Haack, because he had coached at Newberg the previous year. To finish their season, the Baby Dragons faced Mac and Astoria, consecutively. Both opponents proved to be superior as Dallas was defeated in their final two games. Coaching was assisted by Mr. Shawn Mosely.

In a season lasting two and one half months, each Dallas Dragon runner legged over 250 miles in training, and competed in eight meets. The “harriers” defeated McMinnville, Silverton, and Forest Grove while losing tough meets to Astoria, Canby, and St. Helens. Newberg and Sweet Home were the only squads to soundly beat the Dragons during the year. The peak of the season arrived at the Silverton meet with Forest Grove and Dallas. During this meet Dallas placed first, third, fourth, seventh, and ninth, for excellent grouping; according to head coach Barry Jahn, in his first year. Outstanding for Dallas was Dwayne Janz, who came in first. place 5 out of 8 meets. Dwayne also set three course records, and ran a superb 14:45 three mile at Newberg. In summary, the 1976 team was vastly improved over the previous year; partly due to coaching and experience. Mark Lyda, Dave Schmidt and Jim King concentrate on the race as they Dwayne Janz crosses the raging torrent of Rickreall Creek run in the shade of the trees during a home meet. on his way to victory over the McMinnville and St. Helens opponents. Cross Countryf135 VARSITY FOOTBALL Road Losses Noted The Dallas Dragons for 1976 were a football team that was unbeatable at home, but was not so unbeatable on the road. This fact is evidenced by Dallas' perfect 5-0 record within the friendly confines of Dragon Stadium; but their record outside of Dallas ended in an 0-4 struggle. Season play began as the Dragons journeyed to Sandy to battle the Pioneers. Sandy had proved not to be much trouble in recent years, but the game turned out to be a low-scoring struggle. Dallas had trouble getting untracked on offense, and they ended the night without a single point on the board. A field-goal by the Pioneers in the second quarter proved to be the difference. Sandy pulled out a hard-fought victory over Dallas, 3-0. The following week, Dallas returned to action for their home opener. They were a complete change from the week before as they came out “breathing flames”. Scott Tilgner took the opening kickoff and raced 85 yards for an apparent score. Even though the TD was called back, it was a preview of what was to follow. Nine plays later, Greg English booted a field goal and the “gridders” had their first points of the season. By halftime the score was 29-0. Dallas coasted to it’s first win of the young season by a score of 48-7. Estacada came next in line for Dallas. After traveling the long trip to meet the Rangers, Dallas drew first blood, via a one yard run by Mike Wall. Estacada struck Rich Davis struggles to break the grasp of a Newberg defender in the Homecoming clash, as Bruce Forsberg, Matt Posey (on ground), and Ron Noble follow the action. back immediately, as they took a 13-7 lead at halftime. Neither team scored another point in the remaining two quarters, as the Rangers hung on for the win. After being on the losing end of two cross-division contests, Dallas next encountered the Forest Grove Vikings at Pacific U. Dallas struck quickly as Kim Cagle sprinted 53 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. After Cagle’s run, Forest Grove unveiled their awesome ground attack. The Vikings pounded out 450 yards on the ground, with Neil Strachan getting 158 of those, along with four TD’s. At the final gun, Forest Grove had won by ten, 28-18. Seven days later, back in friendly Dragon Stadium, Dallas evened their league record at 1-1, by totally thrashing St. Helens, 41-14. The St. Helens contest proved that Dallas could be explosive after two straight setbacks. Homecoming week began, and with it all the events that led up to the clash with the Newberg Tigers. The contest began, and Newberg scored quickly to lead 6-0. Dallas then got on to the right track, and shut down Newberg completely. The highlight of the game was Brian Jordan’s electrifying return of the second half kickoff for a TD. Enroute to the victory, Dallas put 35 points onto the board and held the Tigers to their initial six, much to the delight of the capacity crowd. With a league record of 2-1, Dallas made their last road trip of the year to clash with McMinnville. No. 43, Kim Cagle stretches to block a pass from the opposing team member, No. 84. 136 V.

After three straight losses on the road, the gridders were hoping to break their traveling jinx. From the way it looked with about one minute to play, the hometowners would achieve their goal. Leading 28-21, the Dragons were forced to punt. McMinnville got the ball and passed quickly down the field to score. With the score 28-27 in favor of Dallas, the Grizzlies went for two points and got them. Final score: Grizzlies 29, Dragons 28. After suffering their final loss of the year, the gridders returned home to finish out the season. Memories of an overtime loss the previous year came to town along with the Fishermen of Astoria. After a four quarter stalemate, Dallas and Astoria ended regulation play tied at 21. In overtime, Russ Henry scored on a three yard run and Mike Wall added the crucial two points. Astoria also scored, but failed to get the conversion. Final score, fittingly, Dragons 28 “Fish” 26. To finish out, Dallas once again entered cross-division play. Canby came to town with the same 4-4 record as Dallas. In the end, though, it was not so even, as the Dragons recorded their first shutout of the year, winning 20-0. In retrospect, the Dallas “eleven” was never out of it in every game they played. Their biggest losing margin was by ten points to Forest Grove, the eventual runner-up in the state playoffs. Sandy, and Estacada really could have gone either way. V. Football 137 GIRLS BASKETBALL Took 4th At State A fourth-place finish at the state tournament in Portland capped a very successful season for the Girls Varsity Basketball team. Entering the tourney, the Lady Dragons had no league losses, as they had run roughshod over the Coast-Valley League. State play opened with a loss to the Wilson Trojans, the eventual state champions. A cold shooting third quarter proved to be their undoing. Hoping to bounce back and continue post-season play, Dallas crushed Intermountain League representative Bend, 46-29. Carolyn Hodge and Lori Brostrom were a constant menace, leading Dallas with 10 and 14 points, respectively. After the Bend victory, Dallas advanced to the consolation finals against Grants Pass. Behind the outstanding play of Deb Wall, the ladies pulled out an emotional, come-from-behind, 42-41 victory, to bring home the consolation trophy. A very rewarding regular season began against the North Salem Vikings, as the girls won by nine, 43-34. McNary and Sprague, two other Salem schools, also fell to the Dragons, 53-29, and 45-43, in that order. In their final non-league contest, the Lady Dragons lost their only game of the regular season to Tigard, 49-47 in double overtime. League play started against Estacada, and the Ladies set the stage for their total domination of the CVL, winning by fifty-seven points. Canby also was soundly beaten in the following game, 69-43. After Molalla went down in a struggle, major decisions over McMinnville, Astoria and Newberg were claimed. The following two games saw the Dragons play tenacious defense and explode on offense enroute to beating St. Helens, 83-18 and Forest Grove 65-14 (a 148-32 point spread). After two more routine victories over McMinnville and Astoria, Dallas fell behind in an important game against Newberg. Losing 28-25 after three quarters, the ladies staged a dramatic, emotional comeback victory as they outscored their opponents 13-6 in the final quarter. The win catapulted the girls to finish their “tearing up” of the CVL as they destroyed Forest Grove, St. Helens, Sweet Home and Silverton by season’s end. Canby was faced to determine the League representative at state. The Dragons proved they were truly the league champs in smashing the Cougars 55-23 to advance and ultimately take fourth, state wide.

After an opening loss to McNary, Dallas exploded to beat Willamette 76-71; giving them their only non-league win. Bend and Redmond then came to town on consecutive nights, and they both picked up close wins; Redmond winning on a shot at the buzzer, 71-69. After a loss to Sprague, Dallas returned home to face South Salem, coached by former Dallas Mentor, Bob Cantonwine. South, behind former Dallas hoopster Rob Cantonwine, downed the Dragons 48-45. League play began against the Canby Cougars, and Dallas started out on the right track as they won by nine, 54-45. Silverton was next victimized as the Dragons picked up their first win at home 65-45, to run their league record to 2-0. Dallas once again fell into a slump as Sweet Home and Astoria outclassed them on their home courts. Returning home, the hoopsters smashed St. helens, 70-53. After this win, Dallas entered a six game losing streak, which virtually eliminated them from hopes of post-season play. During the slump, Forest Grove downed Dallas twice, once in overtime. Estacada then came to town, and the home team ended its dry spell, downing the Rangers, 73-64. Dallas posted their final victory of the season over St. Helens, 82-72. A following effort at McMinnville fell short once more, 44-37. In their final game the hoopsters lost to Newberg in a high-scoring battle on the Tiger’s ground. The local youths had some tough losses, six by four points or less, showing the Dragons to be much better than their record indicated. The final won-loss total was 6-16.

Although the season was long and somewhat disappointing, no player gave up, because of pride and dedication. After losing their first six games, all of which were non-league, Dallas opened league play and downed Canby 64-50. Another low point was started with the following game as Silverton set the stage for a five game losing streak, 44-31. The Forest Grove game was the beginning of the season’s high point, as the Dragons smashed the Vikings, 53-29. Following came a win over Newberg, a loss to Molalla, and then victories over Sandy and once again, Forest Grove. The luck did not last; however, as the losing pattern set in and Dallas lost their final five games. The overall record for Coach Cecil Dillard’s JV Dragons was 5 wins, 17 losses.

After the defeat of Sweet Home, the Dragons faced Astoria, losing a cliff-hanger 41-42. This started a three game losing streak, as Mac also defeated Dallas twice. After these losses, Dallas played some of their best ball of the year, defeating Forest Grove, Newberg and Molalla, consecutively. Sandy ended any hopes of lengthening the streak, as they defeated Dallas, 66-77. The Dragons won three of their last five games, as they beat Forest Grove, Astoria, and Newberg 78-38, to end the season. Despite the fact that the Sophs lost their first six games, they ended up posting an overall record of 7-12, under the direction of Coach Steve Putman.

Basketball 143 BOYS' TRACK Boys Second At District A second place finish in the CVL district meet, and only one dual meet loss (to district champ Forest Grove) were factors contributing to a successful season in 1977. After opening the season with a triangle non-scoring meet with Sprague and Lebanon, Dallas participated in the Willamette Relays and team captain Chris Peterson placed first in the javelin. Two days later, the Dragons blazed to a first-place finish at the CVL Relays, as did the girls team.There were some bright spots at district; however. Bob Quiring was a triple winner in the long jump, high jump, and triple jump; (setting school records in the high jump and the long jump). Dwayne Janz also broke a school record as he won the two-mile. Others qualifying for the state meet included, Kermit Bail, discus; Randy Parsons, javelin; Rick Caudillo, pole vault; and the mile relay team of Gary Stanislawski, Brian Jordan, Bruce Forsberg, and Jim King. Long distance runner Paul Poteet leads the pack while running the 880. Sophomore trackster Rick Caudillo takes it up and over as he clears the high jump bar during a home meet. Long distance runner Vic Sampsor comes to the finish line, victorious. 144 Boys Track Junior weight man Darcy Michaelson heaves the shot put at an away meet with Rick Caudillo practices the pole vault in which he Astoria. participated at state.

After two more routine victories over McMinnville and Astoria, the Ladies staged a dramatic, emotional comeback victory as they outscored their opponents The win catapulted the girls to finish their “tearing up” of the CVL as they destroyed Forest Grove, St. Helens, Sweet Home, and Silverton by season’s end. Newberg was next victimized, 98-45, before the tracksters participated in the OSU and Central Relays The track team, coached by Head Coach C. J. McLeod, assistants Barry Jahn and Ron August,showed a competitive drive that lasted the season. Speed and strength augment a good jump as sophomore Kary Turner finds out in the long jump. It's a close race but Sophomore Cathy Hill takes a slight lead over both opponents and Junior Kathy Sweet who is running a close third. 146 Girls Track Practicing to perfect their hand off, Carolyn Hodge and Dena Turner have reached satisfaction. Sophomores Melanie Kundert and Joni Lange compete in a determinationbuilding long distance race. Leg strength, shown here, is the key to Kris Trom and her great starts. Girls Track 147 VARSITY BASEBALL Mosley Moves Up “They made progress in the area of personal and team confidence and they maintained a positive attitude,” stated first year coach Shawn Mosley in summing up the 1977 baseball season. After splitting their first two games with North Salem, Dallas lost two in a row to McNary. Their fortunes improved, however, as Central ended up on the short end of the score three straight times, and the Dragons held a record of 4-3. The hardballers then lost four straight games, three of those being to Sprague. They went on to win three of the next four games, winning over South Salem, Cascade, and Sweet Home. Their longest losing streak followed the Cascade victory, as Dallas lost seven out of the next eight games, with only one win during the streak, a stunning 5-0 victory over league champ, McMinnville. The close out came as Dallas defeated three of their last five opponents, including an 8-4 win over Forest Grove in the season ender. Coach Mosley added that the Dragons played some excellent games, but played inconsistently, which could have contributed to the 4-6 league record and 11-17 record, overall.

Positive Attitudes Maintained Dallas students commend one of its many conditioning units for 1977 D.H.S. golf coach John Chase converses casually with the Canby coach preceding their match. The golf program sported a young team and a new coach in John Chase during a season in which valuable experience was gained. Mr. Chase, a teacher at Oakdale Heights Elementary, is a past holder of the Oak Knoll Individual Championship. He stressed continual practice and gaining experience through match situations. Freshmen and sophomores made up a balance of the varsity team and this indicated a major change in past years; because upperclassmen usually dominated in the past. With only one team member graduating, there is hope for later years. Although the team did not manage a win, Coach Chase believed that the golf program would steadily improve with team age and experience. Big J.D. , that’s Jim Delanty, makes a short putt during the match against Newberg. Golf 151 I Calvin Penny moves in and attempts to roll his opponent for the pin. Penny went on to complete the pin in the fina seconds of the round. Continual aggressive pressure is typical of Penny’s tactics, as seen in this photo. In another view of Penny’s skill, an opponent struggles to break out of the grapplers turning maneuver. 152 Varsity Wrestling Don Hughes starts to move in for an early pin as he rolls his opponent onto his back. Coaches Haack and Oliff shout instructions and encouragement to a wrestler on the mats. VARSITY WRESTLING Penny Went To State 1977 marked a new look in the wrestling program. Coach Bob Haack, from Newberg, took over the reins as head mentor. The varsity was a young squad, as five sophomores competed at this level. A constant problem all season was the lack of people to fill all thirteen weight classes. Always having to forfeit 12 to 18 points did not help the Dallas cause. After placing first at the Central Tournament, Dallas lost a close decision in a dual match to Central, 36-30, but bounced back to pick up their only dual match win of the season, 48-26 over West Albany. A third place finish at the Rainier tournament, and three straight league losses to Astoria, St. Helens and McMinnville led up to the Dragons hosting their tourney. The hosts could only manage a third place finish, but they still demonstrated consistent improvement. After a close 42-27 loss to Forest Grove, Dallas dropped their remaining three league matches to Newberg, Sandy and Molalla to end the season. Don Hughes, with a 22-5 record, and Calvin Penny, with a 26-4-1 record were bright spots on the squad. Penny went to state after taking a first at district. Often placing five schools in the top ten ranking, the C.V.L. was considered the toughest wrestling league in Oregon. Dallas showed they could compete with anyone in this super league. Mike Hughes attempts to overpower his opponent during the first round of a home match. Mitch Evans attempts to gradually break down his opponent's base.

Two senior girls Brenda Balshweid and Kay Aebi, appear to be exhausted after seige of mid-term tests during second semester. Members of the “lighter than air lunch bunch demonstrate the the folding and launching of paper aircraft. process in CLOSING We Recalled It All The school year spans a nine month period and within that time there are high points and low. In capturing that history, the Dragon had put into print and picture what we have seen history through our eyes, it remains history. And what have you seen? You have seen our students and faculty as people and as a part of D.H.S. And when you see and read about people you can be sure what they do is unusual. So, if you have been surprised at what you saw and read, let us remind you that history is always surprising. As we recall these times we do so with a sense of regret and fond reminiscence. We hope you do too! SOB SOB SOB As we put the last pages of the 77 yearbook into the mail, we hear great sighs of relief and cries of happiness as tears of joy roll down each cheek. (Ha-Ha) Looking back on the 76-77 school year and the time we spent slaving over the preceding pages, we can now see the great masterpieces of journalistic effort created by the masterminds of our class. Although we had our slumps, Terri Winkle was always there with a little pick-me-up (‘‘help, help -- shark, shark”). That is, of course, when she could break away from her foreverpressing copy assignments? Thanks to Egg-White” (Randy, that is), the Dragon features 18 wonderful pages of advertising!?!! ‘Radio Randy' was always (?) working on layouts and trying to get someone to pasteup for him. (Eat Beans!) Sports is a large part of the book as Big J.D. found out. (Luey!) Although Jim spent most of his time adding rubber cement to his 3 diameter ‘bugar ball’, there were times when he produced some LONG but super copy and captions (with a little help from Schiop’s” grade contract). At the semester change our staff was enlarged from seven to fourteen which lightened the work load for all. It was at this time that the King of Conversation” came to us., Alan was a great help on photography as he came in and took over the complete photography dept. Mr. Bob Schiopen, our hailed advisor, spent a lot of his time in the darkroom making up for the time ‘our boys’ spent solarizing paper. Although Mr. Schiopen had been skeptical about our crew, a frequent astonishing accomplishment by a staffer seemed to hit him between the eyes. Well, I’ll be a suck-egg mule,” would be his stand-by reply. Our co-editorship seemed to be working, as Deb Osgood and I (Jane Lehto) teamed agreeably; however, after graduation I found it necessary to assume all the burden (some people just don’t feel dedicated to the cause). The entire staff extends its appreciation to the plant representative, Mike Sullivan, and ‘alum’ Jerry Cotter, for rescuing us when necessary. Mr. Clarence Palmer also continued to do the senior pics and the Itemizer-Observer did an excellent job in setting the copy. Yours truly, Jane Lehto Co-editors of the 77 Dragon, Jane Lehto and Debbie Osgood, discuss croppin; and layout design with plant representative Mike Sullivan.
