With the precision of master jewelers, David and Tracy Henley create rings and things. Band auditions, keep fingers on the keys and eyes on the music.

Emphasis on change ran through the Business department like wildfire; but it was the result of very careful planning. The introduction of advanced business machines and computers upgraded the teaching of business immensely The money for new equipment was obtained mostly from federal grants.

A masterpiece in the making is David Weber’s portrait of a deer. Gary DeRoest Orchestra Terry Kern Crafts Ehoir director Ron Hollensted returned to G.P.H.S. from a year’s leave of absence at Pacific University where he studied advanced music and technique. Some modifications effected upon his return was the changing of two music courses. First period Freshman choir was changed to the Girls choir, and third period “Swing” choir was changed to the “Chamber Singers.” Many singers entered the State contest in Florence, Oregon where Senior Tom Wagoner and Sophomore Matt Jordan received further recognition and advanced to the next contest. Wagoner, along with Senior Donovan McNew, was named to the All-Northwest. Choir members raised money once more by selling Texas fruitcakes and Burger King “burger” tickets. They also staged the annual Fall concert, Christmas and Spring concerts. And, as befitted every year, they rang down the curtain by singing at graduation of the Class of 1981.
