The custodians clean up the remains of what the students left behind. “It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it,’ says one custodian. The office was also busy making out schedules and sending them to the homes of students. Clarence Baker, the new principal, was also working hard, learning the ropes of Grants Pass High School. The transition, Mr. Baker found, was not as difficult as expected. The former Athletic Director felt that “The two jobs have many things in common.” The administration and custodians weren’t the only one’s who were hard at work. The band, color guard, Royalettes, rally, volleyball, cross country, Toka staff, and football team were all getting ready for the big school year. The Royalettes attended two camps. Centennial in Portland, and U.S.A. in Salem. They won a number of ribbons and trophies in both. The rally was really getting into it during the summer. They went to Santa Barbara, where they took first place in spirit, and won a championship trophy for their dance routine. The band started camp August 23rd. Gary Schaefer, the new band director, with the help of North Middle School’s Jim Erickson, got the musicians ready for Autzen in Eugene, and the Northwest Band and Field Competition in Salem. For Mr. Schaefer’s first year, he looks at everything in the positive way. He believes that, “People make the band, not the director.” Colorguard faced a building year. Sixty-five percent of the team were freshmen. Director Judy Alie said, “I have faith in my girls. I know they won’t let me down.” Volleyball was working hard. Up with the sun, every day at seven a.m., they all looked forward to a winning season. Cross Country was working on their own this summer. Vicki Lee said, “If you get out of shape, it’s hard to get back in again.” For football, things looked promising. With the dedication of head football coach Grant Martinsen and his staff, the team couldn’t go wrong. John Codington, the new assistant football coach said, “I like working on the football staff at Grants Pass. The team this year looked for a spot in the playoffs.” As far as the TOKA was concerned, the two student leaders got things rolling by going to a week-long yearbook conference in Monmouth in August. Editor Michele Rudisill and Assistant Editor Jim Hermens worked many hours setting the foundation for the 1983 TOKA. Winning and successful seasons are always the result of good planning, dedication, and hard work that took place long before the season began. It’s no wonder that the Cavemen were able to enjoy such a great year. Let’s Get Fired 2 Opening mm 1. A.S.B. Third Vice Phil Marchant, with the efficiency of a secretary, binds together the coupon books which gave students an incentive to purchase activity cards. 2. Even though 170 Tokas were blemished with parts of another school’s yearbook, the autograph signing party went fairly smooth as students gathered to reminisce over last year with friends and an '82 yearbook. 3.

Migrating from the beaches of California, the flashy footwear called Vans caught the eyes and feet of Cavemen. 1. G.P.H.S. trendy fashion show for ’82-‘83 included Row 1: Shannon Preppy” Titus.

When sophomores were wearing headbands to show their spirit, Debbie Radford, Angie Rudig and Traci Smolen also kept up with a trendy fad. Cavemen Are With FADS Trends Catch On Have you ever found yourself caught up in the times? You have if you found yourself in an alligator shirt, listening to new wave music on a Walkman, cruising the sidewalk in Vans, or even reading a Garfield comic book. Yes, you’ve been caught up in those timely crazes called FADS. Everyone has been caught up in fads at one time or another. In the Fifties it was bobby socks, leather jackets, pleated skirts, and slicked-back hair. In the Sixties it was mini-skirts, peace symbols, and hippy living. In the Seventies it was bell pants, straight hair and wooden high heels. Now, in the Eighties, people have their own ideas. They wear what they want, anything from mini-skirts, leg warmers, or head bands, to plain old blue jeans. They do what they want, listen to loud music, ride in fast cars, and go to the arcade to play video games. Clothes are the biggest fads, like dressing preppy, wearing Izod (alligator) shirts, Levis’ 501 and boat shoes. Brand names play a major part-Calvin Klein, Rocky Mountains, Vans, Vuarnets, Nikes, and Topsiders, are some of the names that have taken over this year. Fads start in large cites like New York, or Los Angeles and work their way up the coasts to other large cities, then out to the little towns. You think you’re not into fads? Think again. Have you ever played Pac-Man or Defender, or one of the many Atari games on a T.V.? Did you hear about the Rick Springfield concert in Medford this year and wish you could have gone? Do you have a pair of Nike shoes or Sara jeans? Have you ever bought a record by “The Who” “Journey” “Lover Boy” “Rush” “Styx” or “Foreigner”? Did you get your hair cut or styled like a rock singer you saw, or maybe some professional athlete, or a T.V. or movie star? What about the last soft drink you ordered. Did you choose it because you remembered seeing an ad for it on T.V., and it guaranteed you a slimmer, more attractive body? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you belong to the fad-craze of 1982- 1983. Opening 5 People 6 Opening r-i K v ;Vv .; V Circle. A lot of enthusiasm beams from Cathlin Williams' smile as she sends good luck to the football team departing for Corvallis. 1. Daily band practice early in the year brought a few spectators.

Even though the bench doesn’t have a back rest, it does have a Dave Berry which Marvin Fox uses to kick back during lunch. Make The Difference FAST Teens Rush Through Times Fast foods, fast cars, fast music, and fast weekends all combine for fast times. The idea of “fast” influences everyone everyday. When rushing from class to class, scurrying from school to sports or work, and then cramming for the next day’s test, we all break our own personal speed limits. Many parts of our everyday activities go unnoticed as being part of our 70 m.p.h. generation. The fast music we listen to, the (hopefully) fast cars we drive, even the fast food we eat, such as stopping at Wendy’s, McDonald’s, or Dairy Queen for a quick hamburger, and if that isn’t your style you go to Taco Bell, or Taco Time for some speedy Mexican food. Of course we won’t forget the week end gatherings at the local pizza parlors. “Kids are maturing faster in this generation, and this is brought on by the t.v., automobile, family, and peers. If this generation was put back 25 years, they would be dissatisfied,” says Phil Hurley, English teacher. Back to fast times on our radio or cassette player. The rock and roll music is a definite synonym for high school years. Each student has a different reason why rock music appeals to his age group. One of its listeners. Curt Smolen, says, “It’s a form of rebellion, but that’s not the only reason we listen to it. Rock is just fun to listen to.” So while fast music is pounding out of our cars at 40 watts a side, we might pull up to a drive-up window and order some fast food on a speedy Saturday night. Setting Life's 1. The fast man on campus. Jim Savard, soaks up some sun while plugging away for Muscular Dystrophy in the fund raising booth at the county fair. 2.

Opening 9 Giving It Spirit Week | Shows Pride _ What causes students to dress up a little strange over Spirit Week, scream at the top of their lungs at pep assemblies, and devoutly show up at athletic contests? School Spirit! The driving force behind school spirit is pride, being proud of all you are part of. Having pride makes you give a little extra in whatever you do that’s important to you. “If it’s important to you, you’ll succeed,” said Jackie Tarentino. Freshman Scott Nave agreed but had a different perspective: “If you take pride in something, you know you’ll do your best.” The pride we had for our school was bottled up during Spirit Week only to be all let out in the Medford football game, as many hoarse students came away a little upset and possibly angry at a narrow 17-14 loss. Activities during the week included 60’s day, hat and pin, western, and beach bum day. The week ended, of course, with Blue and White day and our regular pep assembly. All week long students were garbed in strange outfits, disregarding strange looks to express their spirit. Circle.

Even though no Senior Powder Puff Rally showed for competition, the Junior Powder Puff Rally gives their best in their debut performance during Spirit Week. 10 Opening Our Best Handicap Doesn’t Slow Enthusiasm Some people use a handicap as an excuse for not reaching certain goals. Others, like George Russell, refuse to let it stand in the way. George moved from the San Fernando valley in southern California to GP in 1965 At the time of the move he was a scout for the Clevland Indians and spent his weekend working with ball players. Two things prompted his move to Oregon: “Down south it was getting too crowded. It was hard to find a field to workout on, and it was getting too smoggy,” George said Also, one of his sons was playing ball with the Portland Beavers and he went to Portland for two weeks. “On my way to Portland I was im pressed with Grants Pass and the area “ In 1972 he got involved with baseball again; this time it was with Thurmon Bell in coaching American Legion teams. George did this for the next four years until he got too weak to continue. Amyotrophiclateral sclerosis, more com monly known as the Lou Gehrig’s disease, has been a part of his life since the 1950 s. The disease, which deteriorates the muscles, in many cases is fatal. After some abdominal surgery in 1976, the doctors gave him about two years to live. At 6’4“ and weighing only a 127 pounds, George felt too. that he would not have long to live. After the surgery, George’s weight began to increase, but his breathing worsened A tracheotomy was then in order, and George was well on his way to recovery In spite of George’s physical condition, he continues to lead a very active life He is president of “Make Today Count”, he is an ever-present supporter of Grants Pass High athletics, and he still manages to find the time and energy to give individual help and instruction to baseball players Varsity in fielder Phil Marchant says. “George’s love for the game is phenomenal and his knowl edge unsurpassed. He has helped me to see just how good an athlete can be with a great coach. George is that great coach. George feels that attitude is an important aspect in life. He feels you must have a good attitude and most of all a good sense of humor. “If you can’t laugh, you’d better flip it in. Laughter can fight off any disease Opening 11 1. As a sincere “thank you”.

Pride Shines Through Opening 13 5 14 Classes Division Spirit of . . . UNITY Nothing can compare with the feeling of supporting your class! Ask any freshman who has stood up to cheer, only to find a fake spirit stick staring in his face, or an upper classman who has so righteously defended his seniority by harassing the freshmen, or any class member who enjoys the thrill of victory during class competitions, and the bitter taste of defeat in losing. What is that feeling of unity that gives members of the same class a special bond? Why should anyone care if their class is the first to finish a toilet paper race or can yell the loudest? Sophomore Denise Pemberton explains: “Going to school with the same people for so many years, you really get to know them. There’s a special bond there that really unites the class.” When asked for a comment on changes in his classmates over the years, freshman Gary Maurer profoundly stated; “Well, we’ve all gotten a heck of a lot taller!” What about barriers between classes? How big is the gap between freshmen and seniors, sophomores and juniors? “1 think there is too much stereotyping of I ti the freshmen, but mostly the gap lies be- I a tween the different groups of people. There I needs to be a lot more open mindedness,” I f says junior Phyllis Clark. I Bert Callicoat disagrees: “Barriers be- I tween classes help the class keep its identity I and spirit. I think it’s good that different I classes stand out from each other, but I think I people might go a little overboard on pick- I ing on the freshmen.” j How important are pep assemblies and I class competitions for promotion of class I unity? Most students think they are fairly I worthwhile. “Pep assemblies help a lot to I identify separate classes, that’s where you I really find class spirit,” replied junior John I Harelson. Freshman Aaron Olumpius disagrees: ' “Class competitions don’t help class unity at all. How can you get excited about something you know you’re going to lose? The people running them are unfair, unjust, and unrighteous,” he added, not in all seriousness. Despite barriers and stereotyping, a lot of times students forget about separate classes I and the whole school joins together as one. 1 Senior Sean Maloney explains: “During 1 pep assemblies is when class unity shows; I during football and basketball games when 1 everyone is cheering together is when 1 school unity shows.” Frosh Danny Plum- 1 lee agrees: “Everyone in our school is really I spirited. It’s spirit for the entire school, not 1 just your class.” Junior Class president Scott Olds sums it up this way: “What makes a class successful is living and working very hard as a class. Building special friendships and having so much fun is a part of our high school life that can’t be missed.” 1.

The fund-raisers included selling folders, a computer dating match-up, and helping with Portland Wrestling. The money earned went to graduation and other expenses. Besides the many fund raisers, the senior class officers were also in charge of the elections for class motto, the all-night senior night, and helping the senior mothers prepare for graduation. They also painted Senior Walk and the big ’83 in front of the school. Presdient Dan Hyatt said, “The senior class is not only great but also very talented. They produced the first female student body president in 20 years, and also, for the first time ever, had four valedictorians and two salutatorians.

Heather started playing the fiddle when she was ten, following four years of playing the violin. The style and technique of the fiddle is different from the violin. The type of songs played with a fiddle are faster and shorter than those with a violin. Heather had always been fascinated with the violin, and when she saw a fiddle contest at the age of nine, she decided to learn how to play. Soon after that she started playing in contests. Heather says, “I like it because it’s a challenge. Like at a contest, I like getting up there and competing. I’m really competing against myself instead of the other people, because I’m showing how well I can do.” She has been to many states because of her fiddle-playing talent. Among them are Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. She has taken top honors in the Nevada, California, and Oregon state championships. She also has won fourth place honors at the National Junior Championship. Heather says she will keep playing the fiddle and she may go professional for a year but she says there’s really no money in a fiddle career. “I don’t think I’ll ever quit because it’s a part of me.” SENIORS-1983-SE Tamara Gibson Alex Gray David Groves Cynthia Hageman Cheryl Haines Alice Hamm Dawn Hannum Larry Harper Crystal Havniear Alan Hays David Healey James Henderson James Hill David Hobbs Robert Holbrook Seniors 21 Judy Holder Gina Holm Mike Holtzclaw David Hood Eric Hookland Mark Horban Keith Hostkoetter Dan Hyatt Richard Ice Kurt Isert Carl Jacobson Ross Jesswein Stanley Jew Scott Joe him Holly Johnson Mike Johnson Raymond Johnson Tammy Johnson Matthew Jordan Dieter Kanehl SENIORS-1983-SENIORS-1983- SENIORS-1983-SENIORS-1983-SENIORS-1983- ,22 Seniors Curtis Kee Tom Ketelsen Steven King Vicki Kolkow Marcie Kopp Jerome LaChance Scott Lawless Tammy Lawless Carrie Lawrence Chuck Lesisz Dawn Lind Mark Lindquist LeAnn Little Dana Logan Michael Lowe Julie Lundberg Rob MacGinnitie Stacey Mahan Phil Marchant Tim Marcotte Steve Maxwell Todd McClane Chris McClure Merri McFarlin Gail McGill USED RECORDS 1 Head Start In Life Have you ever thought of running your own business? Senior John Pearson has done more than just think about it. For him it’s a reality, since he owns his own record business. John started his venture about two years ago after a friend of his, who owned Replay Records, moved to Medford to open a business there. John took over but started with only a building and some record cases. The store, called “Relics Records” has many collector’s items. “I think we gear to people collecting because we get items other stores don’t get. We also get used records. People can also sell or trade in the store.” Two new items in the store are T-shirts and pins. John goes to school EB through 2nd period and then has two periods of work experience. He works in his store from 11:30 to 6:00 daily. Business gets slow in the winter but picks up in the spring and summer. “There are times when you aren’t sure if you can pay the rent.” Relics Records carries everything in records, classical, jazz, blues, children’s, rock ’n roll, country and western, and heavy metal. When asked what sold the best he said, “Heavy Metal, but it’s a shame people don’t listen to the other types of music. There is more good music out there, but people just haven’t heard it.” The store’s future plans are up in the air right now, but John would like to open another store in California and get a larger store here in Grants Pass.

But kind of scared because I knew it would be a lot of responsibility, and that people would expect a lot from me, Krista Anderson mentioned when describing her feelings after she had won the election for A.S.B. president. Krista is in a class of her own. Over the years, the position of A.S.B. president has not been popular for female politicians. Proof is that the last female prexy was in 1960 when the position was filled by Adelle Davenport. Adelle graduated in 1960 and went on to Stanford to further her education. She is now the vice president of Human Resources at Woodward and Klyde Consultants in San Francisco. She commented on her past position: “I loved it and I have nothing but fantastic memories of Grants Pass High. To let you know what a small world it is, Phyllis Davenport (Adelle’s mom) was Krista’s second grade teacher, who commented that, “Krista was cute even then, and she had a flair to organize. I could tell just by the way she held herself in her seat.” Commenting on the work involved with the office of student body president, Krista said, “Yeeees! There is always something to do, never a lull.” But for a girl who is on the varsity ski and tennis teams, plays the piano, has applied for six different colleges including Princeton, Stanford, and Lewis and Clark, and has even had an interview with Harvard, there isn’t much time to sit around. What does the future hold for Krista? Right now she’s undecided, but her interests lie in international relations, political sciences, and foreign diplomacy. If the past is any indication of the future, then Krista Anderson-with all her desire, leadership, and enthusiasm-is looking at a very bright future. Governor Vic Atiyeh does the honors of swearing in Krista Anderson to the Education Block Grant Committee.

In the Special Olympics competiton, Vince won the individual bowling championship for the state of Oregon as well as helping his soccer team to the state championship. The soccer competition, held at Pacific University, was held in November, and Vince, along with Curtis Richardson and Doug Mundy, also of G.P.H.S., led the Grants Pass team to the title. Vince won his bowling championship in Coos Bay which qualified him for the National Championships held during July in New Orleans. Winning the state title enabled Vince to take part in a one week bowling clinic with professional bowler Marshall Holman. Vince says he practices once a week at Grants Pass Bowl during his P.E. class. Success has come to Vince due to his hard work and help of his team mates. Vince’s mother, Betty Mikolavich, says, “Vince has had a lot of support from the people he’s involved with-his teachers, his family, and his team mates.’’ Alfie Wilson Erin Wolf Steve Wood Susan Wright Michael Young Not Pictured Boys Eulis Lemons Benjamen Satterfield Girls Joveta Martinez Darren LeMoss Hurshell Smith Locinda Nelson Scott Ashley Jeff McClain Richard Stewart Dawn Bird Trina Padella Andrew Audrey David McMillan Rich Thill Lisa Church Tammy Renfro Scott Brock David Metcalf Thomas Threlkeld Sharon Gaver Rika Sange Patrick Chanley Mike Miller Charles Vernoy Rhonda Gruber Darlene Shaw Kip Clark Tom Minter Vincent Villani Cheryl Harvey Kimberly Umphrey Tom Dutton Bart Mowat Edward Vincent Kathleen Holliday Patricia Valencia Jeff Elmore Dar Nelson Ted Walstrom Heidi Hurtt Diana White Mark Evans John Pearson David Woods Maryann Jischke Lynn Henry Terry Peden Teresa Johnson Patrick James Jeffery Peterso Daneva Kische Robert Johnson Bradley Pitts Rose Lindh Michael Kelly Carlos Rodriquez Teresa Long Seniors 27 Reaching 1.

The class of ’84 in the past had a knack for pulling off top-ranked fund raisers, and the new personnel brought added creativity to the fundraising scene. Right into the year, the juniors sponsored two major fund-raisers, bringing the Harlen Clowns to town and also working with the seniors on Portland Wrestling. The juniors poured hours of hard work into the events, such as passing out flyers on weekends. “It’s all hard work that goes into an event that makes you pat your own back afterwards,’’ said Vice President Lisa Mandell. The hard work surprised the new officers. “There’s a lot of work, which surprised me, but it’s fun working with each other,” com- mented rookie officer Holly Preslar. After the two major fund-raisers, the juniors did something just for fun, bringing “Servant” to town. President Scott Olds said with a sigh of relief, “It was fun not having to worry about money for once.” But the officers did worry about having enough space in the English Gym for the smash project.

RALLY Juniors Nab Spirit Yells The Junior Varsity Rally got a headstart on routines and cheers, getting together in August to perfect their spirit yells. By gaining this early start, they were able to practice less during the school year and spend more time assisting the Varsity Rally decorate athletes’ bedrooms, and some helped provide the quick energy of punch and cookies in the locker room. A few fund raisers were held by the J.V. Rally. The funds collected took care of some previous debts. Along with a car wash, a bake sale was held. The highlight of the Rally’s year off the athletic field came at the pep assembly, for the Lake Oswego game, as for the first time in two years the Junior Class won the competition yell. “It was pretty neat since we don’t win so often,” commented Rally Queen Judi McCain. She added, “The seniors normally have some unknown advantage.” Along with that victory, the juniors also won the competition yell at the last basketball assembly, claiming to the seniors, “We rule you.” Judy McCain JUNIORS-1984-JUNIORS-19 JUNIOR VARSITY RALLY: (clockwise from top) Serina Swanson, Heidi Stiewig, Judi McCain, Phyllis Clark; not pictured Lisa Curtis.

For junior Ken Conard, it means a challenge and fun. Ken is involved in 4-wheel drive pulling contests. This is an event where the winner is determined by the truck that can “outrun”, so to speak, a weight box that moves forward as the trucks work their way to the finish line 200 feet from the start. And Ken has enjoyed much success, too. In August, he entered the state championship contest in Portland and won the top prize for his division which is called “stock.” There are three other divisions and they are “super stock”, “modified”, and “super modified”. The prizes for the pulls range from trophies to $40 for second place and $60 for first. Ken got his start in the sport when his father gave him a 4-wheel drive rig. He pulled with that for about a year and now he has his own. Ken has a 1976 Ford with a 390 cubic inch engine in it. He had to do many things to his truck to make it ready to compete. “You have to supe up the suspension so that it’s solid” among other things; obviously it’s a very expensive sport. Ken says that to build a rig just for pulling is “a waste of money.” Ken, whose family gives him a lot of support, plans to keep on pulling every summer. When asked why he did it, Ken replied, “Becuase it’s fun, and you make a lot of friends.” 32 Juniors Arby Queener Julie Raskin Sonja Ray Chris Reed Wendy Reeves Jason Rembert Amy Rhodes David Ricketts Dewayne Robinson Cameron Ross Holly Savage Stanley Schradin Mike Sealy Terrie Setzer Curtiss Shaw Shari Sherman Mike Shermer David Sherrill Brian Silver John Simpson Scott Simpson William Skinner Carla Smith Debbie Smith Teresa Smith Shelly Starr Heidi Stiewig Anna Stine Randy Sturgill Serina Swanson Sonja Tabler Jackie Tarantino Barbara Taylor Patrick Taylor Edward Thill Clint Thompson Trent Thompson Tammy Toll Katie Tomchak Tim Valdez Frank Vanarsdale Lisa VanRooy Sandra Vickoren Lisa Wallace William Ward Robert Watson Patricia Watt Chris Webster Tex Werschky Brian West Rusty Williams Stephanie Williams Tanyau Williams David Willis David Wilson Tom Wilson JUNIORS-1984-JUNIORS-1984-JUNIORS-1984-JUNIORS-1984- JUNIORS-1984-Jl Not Pictured Curtis Smolen Dana Umphrey Wallace Staurner Tatia Woodworth Boys George Stauffer Stephen Anderson Grant Steele Gary Elliott Bruce Warren Charles Ellison Tom Wilson Jim Fitting Michael Giancola Girls Richard Gustafson Cheri Blasingame Christopher Head Lamanda Clark Daren Hock Jamie Johnson Jeffrey Huskey Cheryl Kuist William Lowe Terri McDaniel Will McLaughlin Katie McGinnis George Mowat Lee Penick Mike Nelson April Sager Terry Riley Teresa Simonsen Bob Sfetku Kellyne Titus Juniors 33 Cliff Wright Clint Wight Teresa Wright Janelie Yeadon Brett York Dana Young J.J.

With only one returning officer, delegate Sarah Wilson, the 1st semester ran a little slow. “It was a lack of experience,” said sophomore class president Jan Darrow. Many fund-raisers were done by the officers to raise money for the class of ’85. The beginning of the year was started with a phone survey. Two hours a night for two weeks, officers would call local residents for their feelings on political matters. This event made at least $150 for the class. Homecoming mums were sold for Homecoming week. Christmas decorations was another attempt to raise money. A Gong Show, held in the spring, was another effort that paid off for the hard working-officers.

Starting this summer the team raised enough money to buy new sweaters by doing fund-raisers like car washes, bake sales. and bottle drives. The sweaters will be left for the next year’s sophomore rally. They also started practicing this summer to perfect their routines. “We expecially work hard on our routines for the pep assemblies to perfect the difficult stunts we do,” said Rally Queen Robyn White.

Maps Out Acting Future Some students wait until they are almost out of high school before they start thinking seriously about where their interests lie and whether to persue those interests farther. Not so with sophomore Shannon O’Connor. Shannon is involved in many activities, but drama is foremost on her list of extracurricular priorities. It was in 8th grade in Ralston Junior High, Belmont, Cal. when she was first introduced to drama. She had a lead in the play, “Nashville Jamboree.” The part called for her to sing and dance along with acting. “I knew after my first play I had to do more. Once you’re on stage, you know that’s where you want to be,” she commented. During the summer after her 8th grade, she moved to Grants Pass, because her parents bought a business here. Her family had chosen this town not only for the business but because they knew about all of the drama influences that could help her such as the Shakespeare Theater in Ashland, Barnstormers Theater in G.P. Children’s Repertory Theater, plus the drama department at Rogue Community College, and of course the high school drama department, headed by Burt Eikleberry. Shannon took part in most all of these activities. At the start of her freshman year, she enrolled in activities that would help her future in. drama. These activities included choir, drama, speech and dance later on in the year. As for the future she plans to enroll in the Drama Department at Boston University. After college she hopes to travel and visit different theaters. Shannon got a lot of influence for her plans from her family. Her father was a jazz musician, her sister a pro cello player, and her brother is in a professional band. But most of her current influence comes from Mr. Eikleberry, her drama teacher. She respects his criticism and advice above all. Commenting on Shannon, Mr. Eikleberry said “She’s good at what she does and has good potential for a future in acting because when she goes after something, she always finishes.” In the last 12 months she has had parts in several plays including “Fiddler on the Roof”, “Bye Bye Birdie”, “Alice in Wonderland”, and “Jacob Too Too”. That’s quite a lot for only a sophomore, but that’s Shannon. With the seriousness behind the drama The Crucible, ” Burt Eikleberry helps Shannon O’Connor to perfect her scene.

President Scott Nave said he “enjoyed working with everyone. We all made a great team.” The officers, in addition to Scott, are Trevor Seven, vice president; Stephanie Whitman, secretary; and Greg Ross, Scott Winkler, and Shelley Davies, delegates. Some of the activities the Class of ’86 have done are to sell apples, oranges, and shirts. Stephanie said, “There are a lot of differences in having an office at the junior high level compared to the high school level. All the classes have to work together or it gets confusing.” None of the officers have any regrets about their jobs and all agreed they wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. All planned to run again for an office in the future. With this kind of dedication and determination, leadership will never be lacking in the Class of ’86.

Of those who tried out, the class voted on five for the Rally. They were Brenda Varner, Rally Queen, and Lisa Childers, Janette Olson, Beth Brashears, and Jodi White. They were all surprised when the announcement came early one morning for orientation. Still in their robes, the Varsity Rally escorted them from their homes to breakfast, then to school for the pep assembly. It wasn’t over for them yet, as they still had to chow down on babyfood at the assembly. “It was embarrassing,’’ says Lisa Childers, “but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” The Rally worked on a halftime dance for the freshman basketball games. Together they decided on the music “Micki”. It was the first time an underclass rally had done a dance. They hoped it encouraged future rallies to have the same ambitions. If plans work out, this is just the beginning of greater things for the girls, as they all plan to try out again next year. FRESHMAN RALLY: Top row: Jodi White, Lisa Childers.

Give Me A Break 51 Two Out Of Seven-Weekends Are Worth It The sounds of lunch hour on Friday come through clear as you wander across the front lawn. “What’s going on this weekend?” “Got a date.” “Going shopping in Portland.” “Party tonight, man.” “What are you doin’ tonight?” As you glance through the list of possibilities in your mind, you could choose to do some of the hundreds of things Grants Pass students do on their weekly two-day sabbatical from school. Weekends turn out to be a lot of fun, a lot of work, large amounts of homework completed, and just as many hours of sleep regained from the five day late-to-bed, early-to-rise schedule known as school. Weekends turn out some of the funniest times, but those students with jobs have to balance their priorities between work and play. “Weekends are a busy time for me,” says Vicki Kolkow. “1 have to work at my job and keep up with my homework.” Those more fortunate or not, who don’t work can use the 48-plus hours of Friday night, Saturday and Sunday to unwind after the hectic school week behind them. “Weekends are a time to sleep in and relax,” comments Ruth Reynolds. Weekends, though, can still produce just as hectic of a schedule as school, but students don’t mind the hustle and bustle. There are appointments to be kept, games to attend, housework to do, people to see, places to go, and of course the never-ending pursuit for fun. “No matter how busy I am, I still like to get out with friends and have a good time,” relates Scott Hudson. “Sure I get busy but weekends are for good times and friends. I can sleep in any day of the week.” For the procrastinator. Sunday is the homework day which for many others, it’s day with family and for worship. It can be just another day without school. “Sunday is a makeup day, a day to relax and go to church,” adds Lisa Ragain. That’s just one of the many choices for the end of the week. The bell rings after sixth or seventh period on Friday. What are you doin’ this weekend? 1. On a Saturday night William Ward, Sean McCoy and Mike Shermer, with the aide of chauffer Clint Wright, attempt to assault the drive through at Taco Bell and steal a bean burrito 2.

COMPETITION Athletics are always thought of as an opportunity for athletes to compete and stay in shape, and for sport fans to enjoy. At Grants Pass High School, sports mean a lot more than that. Without sports, hundreds of students would have to look for something else to do. According to Clarence Baker, principal, 40-45 percent of the students are directly involved each year, because of the athletic program, and that’s not including the band, flags, cheerleaders, and Royalettes who perform at athletic events. Without sports, parent involvement would be less, and there wouldn’t be a Booster Club to get parents and students together. The school depends on sports to keep the students together. The school depends on sports to keep the students as well as parents active. Sports can keep people in school who otherwise might leave. Dean of students Mike Sparlin says, “Without sports I think the student drop-out rate would rise.’’ For the size of Grants Pass, that would hurt the school as well as the community. Athletics can help a person, not only now, but also in the future. Athletes have a chance at scholarships that non-athletes don’t have. And that can help a student to achieve post high school education. Self discipline is a quality of all good athletes; it is needed in every area of life after school. Tom Blanchard, former Caveman and member of the National Football League for 11 years, was the guest speaker at the 1982 Fall Sports Banquet. In his talk to the 231 athletes who participated in fall sports, he emphasized that athletes have a “better chance of succeeding in later life because you know what it is to sacrifice and strive for a goal.” Sports also give a person the chance to experience and deal with competition, something everyone has to deal with all through life whether at college, on the job, in a profession, or raising a family. There is another benefit of athletics at the high school level that people carry with them for many years after graduaton. Skills learned early in life stay with people for a long time. The people who are in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and even beyond who have learned basic skills in sports are the ones you see enjoying recreational sports during the year-softball, basketball, soccer, flag football, volleyball, and others. 1.

Sports Division 55 VARSITY FOOTBALL The Winning Season That Hurt The Most “We came together when we needed to,” said Mike Holtzclaw commenting on the gridiron season. The Bue and White were picked to finish fourth in the conference, but fooled the experts finishing second and managing their way to the state playoff round of 16. Led by a strong defense, the Caveman gridders shut out five opponents during the regular season, including crosstown rivals Hidden Valley and North Valley, the first grid contest with the knights. In the Ashland game, flooded before the game and during the Homecoming halftime, the defense won the war in the trenches by not allowing Ash- land to score even though the Grizzlies got close many times. In the fourth quarter, it was the Headhunter “D” that finally put the Cavemen on the board as Phil Paylor raced a fumble back 52 yards to score the game’s only points. Coach Grant Martinsen pointed to the defensive secondary as the strongest part of the team. “Statisticswise, they led the conference,’’ he said. The strong showing of the defensive back-field, stopping opponents’ passing games cold, landed Ray Johnson on first team All Conference and honorable mention for State, while John Mehringer and J.J. Winkle tagged second team honors. VARSITY FOOTBALL G.P.

Sticking in our minds most of all, was the Klamath Falls game. Tension among players on both sides rose as the contest was postponed due to torrential rain in the pre-game drills. When it was finally over, on a wet Saturday night, Phil Mar-chant summed the story up by saying, “It was the hardest hitting game I’ve ever played in.” The Cobra’s first score on a Skip Maxwell field goal put the Cavemen up by three, but Klamath put up 7 first half points to the Cavemen 3. The second half saw bad news for the offensive attack as Phil Burel, the conference’s leading rusher, went down with a serious knee injury, but not until after he had scored from 9 yards out in the fourth quarter making the score G.P. 18, Klamath 14.

This put the Cavemen up on top for good as the defense subdued one final Klamath surge to win 25-21. When asked if the nail-biting victory rated with some of the most exciting he’s coached, Martinsen said, “It really did, it was a real victory. Klamath had a good team and the kids had to play tough.” Probably the most tears shed by any fan came as the state’s number one ranked Medford Black Tornado eroded away the early 14-0 lead the Cavemen had. to post a 17-14 victory. Tornado coach Fred Spiegleberg, in his last game against rival G.P., must have been surprised as the Cavemen came out playing wide open football, such as a sweep pass from Kevin Reed to Ron Breuninger which set up the first Grants Pass score. The second Grants Pass score came on more wide open play, as Mark Lindquist hauled in a Scott Lawless pass and ended up in the endzone giving the Blue and White a 14-0 advantage. Then the tough breaks started to hit the Cavemen special teams. “Tough breaks on fumbles hurt us a lot, one on a kickoff and one a punt,” said Rick Ice. First the punt was fumbled which set up a one yard Tornado quarterback plunge and Coach Spiegleberg retreated into the locker room down 14-7. The Cavemen were then caught up in Medford’s rejuvenated attack. The Tornadoes took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards to tie the score. Again it was a tough break that drove the last nail in the Caveman coffin and lifted Spiegleberg to his final victory over G.P. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled, and even though the Headhunters held Medford for three plays, Magnus Svensson, exchange student from Sweden, booted a 30 yard field goal in front of the Caveman fans. Even with two conference setbacks, the gridders went into the state playoffs claiming the home field advantage against Lake Oswego. The Lakers scored first on a long 70 yard run in the first quarter. That, though, amounted to all the Laker offense as the Headhunters held the visitors from Portland to negative yardage in the second half. It wasn’t until late in the second half when a daring 4th down pass to Tex Werschky set up a 14 yard scamper by Kevin Reed to tie G.P. J.V.

Skip Maxwell, on the next possession, put another three points on the board to win the game. One week later, the state’s second ranked Lebanon wasn’t too kind to the Caveman cause and posted a 31-14 victory at O.S.U.’s Parker Stadium. Coach Martinsen pointed to the weak tackling as the key to the Warrior’s victory. “We played a better prepared ball team, and they were much more physical,” said Rick Ice. The Cavemen games all hinged on much excitement, as the offense gave us a more diversified look. “We didn’t throw anymore than in the past, but we made some long completions,” mentioned Martinsen. The injuries the Cavemen suffered changed the season somewhat but they came out OK. Martinsen didn’t want to throw any ifs into the successful season, but felt things would have been done a little different. “After Burel got hurt, we stuck together more,” mentioned Ice. Also garnering District honors were receiver Mark Lindquist, guard Larry Harper and Kicker Skip Maxwell on the first team. Running back Dean McCall, tackles Mike Holtzclaw, defense, and Steve Overen, offense, and defensive back John Mehringer tagged second team honors, while Scott Lawless and J.J. Winkle grabbed honorable mention spots. Joining Johnson on the State All Stars was Maxwell on third team and Lindquist on honorable mention. With only half of the players left on the team, the sophomores were lucky to have a full squad for the games. The 0-7 record didn’t show the determination of each play- SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMEN er, and they should be a big help next year on J.V., and Varsity. The freshmen were split into 2 teams. The Blue team started out with 22 players and finished with 18. Coach Nave stated, “Each of them reached their own goal. Each of them started either on offense or defense and each improved their play.” Their record was impressive considering they were competing against teams with 40-50 players, and they had 18. Coach Nave added, “The football program in the future should be strong. This is a good group of dedicated kids.” The White team tied one of their games and lost all the rest. This was not a good season for the freshmen record-wise, but as for attitude and determination, the future looks very promising. FRESHMAN WHITE FOOTBALL G.P.

The Cavegirls were frequented by large crowds and the home section was packed in the conference championship against Ashland, with Grants Pass fans screaming as hard as at any other event. Sharon Gaver mentioned, “The crowds were a lot larger this year.’’ She also felt they helped create excitement, and by their support the team played better. “They just bring you up and get the adrenaline flowing.’’ The Cavegirls stumbled only twice during the year in close matches to Ashland, but the Grizzlies lost two of their matches, one to Hidden Valley who Grants Pass subdued easily. The Cavegirls were all present at Ashland’s last conference game at home against Hidden Valley, cheering the Mustangs on to a narrow loss, giving Grants Pass a tie with Ashland. As the T.V. cameras were rolling, the coin 60 Volleyball flip was made at A.H.S. for the home advantage. Coach Fender called the toss, winning the home playoff game against Ashland. The gym was packed for the contest which saw the fired up Cavegirls storm ahead to nab the first game. Ashland evened the score with a strong second game comeback and, after the break, never trailed in the third game to send Grants Pass to state as the S.O.C.’s second team from the conference. The Cavegirls won their first round at State in a nail-biting match against Bend’s Mountain View. Marshfield took command in the second round match and, with the loss of Sharon Gaver due to injury, the Cavegirls bowed out of championship contention in straight games. The spikers finished their State performance with a loss to Marshall of Portland. 1. Coach Fender gives some timeley advice to the District Co-Champions. 2.

Other awards were defense going to Lynn Alie, offense to Carrie Cruz, and Erin Wolf most improved. Both freshman volleyball teams ran up successful 10-5 records under the guidance of coaches Tom Wicklin and Stella Van Cleave. Their winning records placed them in the top four in league standings. The freshman program is designed with varsity play down the road in mind. ‘‘Emphasis on the rookie program was on building skills and techniques for the future. With that in mind, the teams stuck to more refined offensive and defensive patterns than in the past,” commented Mrs. Van Cleave. With the successful season and developed skills, both coaches expect a strong J.V. program for next year. FRESHMAN VOLLEYBALL Rookies Prepare For Future Volleyball 63 For the first year, due to budget cuts, both boys and girls Cross Country teams were combined under one coach, Mike Slagle. Lack of depth hurt them with only two runners advancing to the state meet. Sophomore Jill Hutchins took fourth in District and 45th at State. Senior Rob MacGinnitie tied for sixth at District and won the coin toss to go to State where he placed 24th out of more than 180 runners. Coach Slagle cited Mike Flores and Crissy Elliot as the most improved runners and Hutchins and MacGinnitie as the best runners. With ten returning from this year’s team, next year’s squad will have some valuable experience that should help in the year to come.

Cross Country 65 SOCCER Undefeated Season For First Year Sport 66 Soccer This was the first year for soccer at G.P.H.S., and the Cavemen were outstanding, as they went undefeated in eight straight games. The new league consisted of two teams each from Medford, and Grants Pass, and one each from North Valley and Hidden Valley. The Cavemen scored 67 goals to their opponents 12. They were led by senior Jerome LaChance and junior Tony Matt; Jerome had 19 goals and Tony had 13 for the season. Gary Wallace also contributed with 10. “I feel we had a great season, but was very disappointed we didn’t get to be in the state play-offs,” said senior Gary Wallace. The reason was that the entry form had to be in February of ’82 and they didn’t know if they would even have a team. With eleven people returning the Caveman team can look for another great year. It wasn’t the lack of determination, it was the lack of experience. The J.V. team went 0-8 for the season, playing all but two of their games against varsity teams. Their games against the Medford J.V.’s were very close and could have gone either way. The last game they played was against Medford’ J.V.’s. The young Cavemen were ahead at the half 4-2. But for reasons unknown, Medford scored three goals in the last five minutes to win 4-5. Being such a young team, the Cavemen can look for a promising season in the future. VARSITY SOCCER G.P.

He was named to the second team All-Conference, and was a great big part of the Caveman game. Dave Berry, the other sen- ior with experience on his side, was dubbed by Coach Johnson as the Most Valuable Player, and split Best Attitude honors with senior Gary Wallace.

The rebound statistics were not quite as astonishing, but they did rebound more than their opponents by an average of 5 rebounds per game. Pat Taylor led the team with 204 points on the season, while Tony Matt had 156 good for number two spot. David McCall was head and shoulders over everyone else in the category of rebounds, as he came down with 144 boards while the closest behind him was Rich Marks with 77. Coach Jack Woodhead gave this team a 1.7 efficiency rating, which is super. They should give everyone something to cheer about next winter. The Sophomore boys basketball team fought to a not real impressive, better than half 11-8 record. Coach Millard Marsh made the comment that these boys were easily coached, and cooperated well. He feels this was a big help when it came down to game time. Ted Stephenson led the team with 156 points, and Roger Russell came down with 153 rebounds and was commented to have the best statistics on the team by Coach Marsh. Dave Nielson was dubbed Most Consistent and Corey Barbee was named Most Physical. The boys who played for Coach Marsh this year give us hope for a successful J.V. team next year. J.V.

When asked what he liked best about the season, Coach McLemore commented, “The overall improvement of this team in all basic areas.” The Freshman Boys Blue team was coached by Bob Ludwig. They didn’t have a very impressive record with only 4 wins and 16 losses. Coach Ludwig commented that “They played good defense and held opponents to an average of 42 points.” The only problem was that they only averaged 32 points per game. This is a statistic that tends to explain their not-so-successful record. Scott Winkler led the team with an average of 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. The freshmen on this team, combined with those on the White team, give a glimmer of hope for next year’s sophomore team. 72 Boys Basketball SKI TEAM Sloan Outdoes Competition At State The Ski Team showed their competitive skill and talent this year as the girls finished third and the boys finished fifth in the Southern Oregon League which included Ashland, Medford, Mountain View, Lakeview, and Bend. The boys team did very well considering that only four were returning members. Geno Gates, Russ Mootz, and Greg Tutt consistently turned in high times to help the team. The others, who were non-racers at the beginning of the season, turned into competitive racers and are looking towards a good year next year. The girls team did an excellent job this year by placing high throughout the season although there were only four girl racers. These included Krista Anderson, Lynne Casey, Val Plumb, and Kathy Sloan. They all worked together as a team to earn their third place spot. Coach Andy Anderson was pleased with the season and stated, “This season they were in contention for a trip to the state championships. As an individual, Kathy Sloan finished higher in the state championships than all of our conference girls except one. The girls had a very good season.” 1.

For her last year of coaching, Miss Halbert was pleased with the results. “For little ex- perience we did really well,” she said. “Sharon Gaver was the only one who really played last year. We had some close games and when Jona got hurt, that hurt us, too.” This has been the tenth year Coach Halbert has been coaching in competition. This year was only the third year she has coached a losing team. When asked about retiring she said, “I enjoyed coaching from the beginning to the end. I thought it was time to go since I will be retiring in a year or two.” The Cave-girls can look for an improved season next year with the underclassmen that are coming back. 1.

Squad The J.V. basketball team of 1982-83 consisted of mostly sophomores. There were ten sophomores, two juniors, and a freshman who had to try to survive in the Southern Oregon Conference. Traci Smolen, a sophomore, led the team to its three wins, two over Crater and one over Eagle Point, out of seventeen tries. Traci led the team in six categories of their stats; she had the most points with 79, most rebounds with 80, most blocked shots, fouls and free throws, and most steals with 35. Danielle Zerr, also a sophomore, was close behind with 34. Danielle was another big contributor to the team, as she had 73 points and led the team in assists. The many sophomores on this J.V. team hope to have a real winner of a senior year. GIRLS JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL G.P.

In his first year with the girls, his team fought to all but a .500 on the season, as they wound up with a 9-10 record. Sue and Nancy Maxwell set “sibbling quarrels” aside to lead the team as co-most valuable players. Sue and Chris James were named ‘‘Miss Rebounders” while Nancy and Kathi Holm-beck got the honors of “Miss Ball Handlers.” Coach Wolber gave Angie Duncan the award for ‘‘Best Attitude While on the Bench” and Nancy Maxwell got dubbed “Most Improved.” These freshmen are looking forward to J.V. ball come next winter. The other half of freshman girls who turned out to play basketball were coached by Terry Matthews. The Blue team was also very near the .500 mark with a 9-11 record. Andrea Mootz had the most points for the team and Theresa Hosier came up with the most rebounds, and was named best-defensive player. Lisa Lawless was the most improved, and Ruth Reynolds was named “Miss Hustle.” Andrea and Theresa were dubbed “Most Valuable Players.” FRESHMEN GIRLS BASKETBALL Cagers Just Missed .500 Mark FRESHMAN WHITE GIRLS BASKETBALL G.P.

Girls Basketball 77 WRESTLING Brothers Pin Opponents Enroute To State The G.P. wrestling season wasn’t quite what coach Jerry Hull had expected, as he was looking for better performances from his returning lettermen, but it did not turn out that way. There were a few bright spots during the season as the team did improve, even though their record didn’t show it; they had some very close meets with teams that walked all over them last season. The other bright spot was when the team sent two grapplers to the State Tournament. Doug Hull placed first at the District meet, and Brett Hull placed third. Brett didn’t do too well at State, getting eliminated the first day, but the State competition experience should pay off for the freshman in the next three years. Doug went on to become runner-up State Champion for the 157 pound class. WRESTLING Meet G.P. Eureka Tourney 3rd Mazama Duel 1st North Bend Dual 1st Cottage Grove Dual 1st Mt.

The boys placed 4th out of nine teams at District, while the girls managed 5th out of nine. Even though the boys team didn’t fare very well, Ron Breuninger, Rob MacGinnitie and the 400 meter relay team (Frank Moore, Mike Holtzclaw, Scott Olds and Ron) qualified for State competition.

He captured four district titles in the sprints, winning the 100, 200, and 400 meter sprints, and was anchor man on the District champion relay team. At State, Ron had a bad meet and the relay team missed a hand off which destroyed hopes of making finals. Rob MacGinnitie worked his way to State by winning the 800 meter run and set a new school record. In placing 3rd and running with only one shoe towards the end of the race, Rob bettered his time by almost a full second. The girls team sent three competitors to State, Shelly Machado won the 100 meter dash at District and placed 2nd in the long jump. Denise Bueoy. a two time District champion in the discus, went on to claim the title for the third year in a row. Denise had knee surgery following the basketball season and was supposed to be completely recovered by track season. Instead, her knee gave her problems not allowing her to make finals at State. Sharon Gaver who placed 2nd at District in the javelin broke the school record and qualified for State. In State competition she failed to make the finals. Others making their presence felt at District were juniors Phil Paylor, 3rd in the triple jump, and Dewayne Robinson, 4th in the javelin. Freshman Terry Parker also managed to place 6th in the long jump. Track 81 82 Track 1.

Track 83 VARSITY BASEBALL Hitting Carries Team Through Season The 1983 Varsity boys baseball team, coached by Charlie Nave, fought to a 14-9 record on the season. Phil Marchant is a good definition of the Caveman game. Phil was named to the first team All-Conference, while leading the team in several categories. He had 28 hits and 5 home runs on his way to a .458 batting average. This season, the hard-hitting outfielder tied for fourth on the all-time list for doubles, and tied for first for runs batted in with former Caveman Tom Blanchard. Phil was not the only Caveman to receive All-Conference honors. Sophomore Dean McCall received honorable mention for the outfield with a fielding percentage of .758. Dean also batted his way to a .292 percentage at the plate. Senior Phil Burel also was named to the All-Conference honorable mention rank, for his outstanding performance at third base. There will be 9 returnees for the Cavemen next season, which should provide a good foundation for a successful season. 84 Baseball VARSITY G.P.

BASEBALL Young Team Looks Great For Future The 1983 Junior Varsity baseball team, consisting of a lot of sophomores, had a pretty successful season this year, battling to win 14 games while losing only 8. Dean McCall led the team in batting averages. He got 9 hits in 11 at-bats for an .818 average which included 2 doubles and 1 home run. Dean only played in 3 games for the JVs and was quickly moved to the Varsity. Jay Alie ranked number two at the plate ripping 15 and two doubles. Tony Young, sophomore, led the team in the field, having 12 put-outs and no errors, giving him a field average of 1000. Ryan Johnson, a junior, had a .982 percent in the field. Coach Gaynor Goth will be looking for a good year next year with all of those sophomore boys. 86 Baseball 1. J.V.

Coach Don Bryant and his freshman baseball players had a rather disappointing season in 1983, winning only 3 games while on the other side of the score board suffering 12 losses. Trevor Seven and Gary Maurer led the team when it came to the bats, Trevor pounding out a .384 batting average, and Gary followed with a .359. Next year could be another story altogether. A good team is in the making but it requires just a little more experience. Coach Bryant says that hopefully next season they can pull together and possibly even switch the scoreboard completely around.

The team was expected to be a very young team made up of mostly sophomores. The unexpected part came when All-Conference pitcher Sharon Gaver decided to throw a javelin instead of a softball. This left the team with only one returning senior, Lorna Surran. Lorna turned into a part-time pitcher to take a little pressure off sophomore Jan Darrow, and a part-time catcher to let sophomore Brenda Paylor fill the hole at short-stop. By the end of the season Darrow was up to pitching all of the games and that allowed Surran to move back to first base, where she earned All-Conference honors the year before. Sam Moss, also a sophomore, took over at short-stop leaving the sophomore battery and a very young infield. Coach Stella Van Cleave dubbed Lee Penick the Outstanding Offensive Player and Surran was named Outstanding Defensive Player as well as Team Captain. Junior Brenda Brashears was given the title of Most Improved. This young team, consisting of one senior, four juniors, six sophomores and two freshmen battled not only their opponents all season but very costly mental mistakes due to their inexperience. The Cavers had a not-too-impressive 3-13 record in conference play, and a 4-17 record with all practice games and tournaments. Even with such a bad record, the Cavegirls should improve next year due to the experience they gained from this season. VARSITY SOFTBALL G.P.

With very little experience, the J.V.’s came up with a 5-13 record, but five of the losses were by only one run. Frosh Niki Johnson came up with the most hits with 25 while Frosh Chris James had the best eye with 30 walks. Sophomore Lori Morrow had a .469 batting average for the team’s best. Johnson, Morrow, and sophomore Kim Lewis had the most extra hits totalling 23. Sophomore Pam Ogren led the team with runs scored totalling 33. The J.V.’s were coached by Wayne Morrow. J.V.

Jeff Nash and Don Flaming led the ranks of the strong doubles teams and only lost once in a dual meet. Splitting a pair of matches with Medford and Ashland, the team looked to do the impossible and unseat Medford as district champions. But a bad draw confronted the Cavemen and only Dave Hosier advanced in singles as Cary Collins, Jim Hermens, and Greg Seidl fell to seeded players. Hosier bagged third at District and the only other point came in Nash and Flaming winning a match, but the second seeds and state hopefuls lost in the quarterfinals. The Cavegirls received a good draw and narrowly lost out to the Black Tornado as they bagged second. Freshman transfer Theresa Keegan ran up a one-loss season to nab third at District. The doubles team of Erin Miskimins and Lynn Alie also lost only once and were one of the four teams seeded first. Two narrow losses in the semis and third place match left the pair with a fourth place finish and no trip north. At State, Hosier was eliminated by the 5th seed Craig Kerr of South Salem. In consolation, Hosier won one match before being eliminated. Keegan caused a major upset in the girl’s draw, eliminating number five seed Molly Evans of Lebanon. She then advanced to the quarter-finals before being eliminated. 1. Senior Lynn Alie shows the skill that had her ranked among the elite players in the District tournament. 2.

The squad competed in ten matches and saw increased improvement from last year, consistently placing second and occasionally third. Much of the improvement was due in part to the Kauzlarich brothers, Ralph, a junior, and Frank, a sophomore from Montana who held Varsity spots. “Ralph and Frank added a great deal of depth to the team,” Smith said, and hopes of out-putting Medford for the District title were alive. But the second place finish did not disappoint the golfers, and Smith was proud to give Medford “a run for their money.” The second place finish sent the whole team to the state, and veteran stater Ross Jesswein entertained thoughts of a top five finish. Jesswein finished tenth and the team 17th after being in ninth place the first day. For next year Smith also expects a strong team. Jesswein is the only letterman lost to Commencement. The squad is also backed up by the strong junior program. GOLF Entire Team Travels To State Meet 1.

Just the sound ot it is somewhat scary, but taking a closer look, all it amounts to is learning some knowledge or skill to help you later in life. Do we all take advantage of these free education opportunities? Or are the classes even worthwhile? Some students have mixed feelings about this. Senior Alan Hayes says, “The teachers are great, but the budget doesn’t allow decent college prep classes. There just isn’t much to offer here.” Advanced placement classes and TAG are two courses that do offer a challenge to future college students. “TAG is an enrichment program in science and humanities for students whose academic abilities are among the top 3% in Standardized Testing,” says Andy Anderson, TAG teacher. “Federal and state governments encourage TAG programs because exceptionally able students often ex- perience a thwarting of ability in classes that don’t provide enough of an academic challenge. Surprisingly so, there is an unusually high drop-out rate among these students. The programs try to offer a challenge beyond and in a different way than regular classes,” Mr. Anderson added. Some students take advantage of what’s being offered. There are those students who take E.B. through 7th to get enough credits to graduate early. Or they may get a job to pay for things they need. Some students also feel that there are not enough math requirements, and that a language should be required. “Taking a language helps you to understand your own language better,” commented senior Gail McGill. They should have a refresher math class for seniors “to help them with the SAT tests,” said senior Krista Anderson. Although limited, there are college prep classes available. There are also athletic scholarships given out to exceptional students in athletics. Freshman and sophomores also have to think about their future when they are signing up for classes, to make sure they take the right ones that will help them in the future. “I think if I can take the right classes now, that I can get enough knowledge to maybe not even go to college,” said sophomore Shannon Titus. 1.

Academics Division 93 ACADEMICS New Teachers Added, Scheduling Changed Realizing I had left my camera and flash in the Toka room, I escaped sixth period before the bell. My mini-marathon to the upstairs room ended in frustration with a locked door. Needing the camera for the night’s game, I found who I thought to be Mr. Brauner, who saved the day by opening the room. As I left the room I gave a, “Thank you, Mr. Brauner.” “It’s Dickenson,” Mr. “D” said to my surprise and embarrassment. Then he asked me my name. When I told him Jim, he came back with, “You’re welcome, George.” Even with the mix-up I was glad to have whoever he was on the faculty to help out. Students tend to over look the faculty as people ready and willing to help. In the Counseling Center, Dorothy Summers, who stepped to a counseling position from the teaching ranks, felt this is because our society as a whole looks upon authority as something to be afraid of. which she feels is due to a lack of understanding. Mrs. Summers also noted that most students don’t take full advantage of the Counseling Center saying, “The majority of students don’t know all the services we have to offer.” Then she added, “We make an effort to contact all students.” Skip Alexander, also a counselor, agreed. “The students we could help the most, we see the least.” He also invited all students to “Come in and touch base.” The students found on their first day of school the biggest change in school format-the absence of Arena Scheduling. A mixture of reasons prompted the change. One major point was criticism from parents; they felt they had no part in the students’ class decision. Vice-Principal Gale Finley said, “We had no control over the kids,” and cited the fact that once students got in the Arena they could take whatever classes they’d wish. “The students were not getting the schedules they needed,” Mr. Finley added. A few advantages as well as some disadvantages came with the change. The students seemed to enjoy the ease of registration. “It’s easier on the students but most likely harder for the counselors,” said senior Hilary Brown. This was agreed upon by counselor Arnold Owens who said the registering is done by “a smaller group of people resulting in more work.” “It’s more work but worth it,” echoed Mr. Finley. He felt this was because of the new system’s main advantage-now the master schedule of classes can be made knowing what classes will be needed ahead of time, eliminating pre-scheduling guesswork. All in all, the new system’s advantages easily outweigh the disadvantages for everyone. On the G.P.H.S. teaching roster, a few changes took place with four new teachers setting up camp and two familiar faces joining the staff. The familiar faces back again were varsity baseball coach Charlie Nave, who taught at South Middle School for a year, and Francie Lahr, a frequent G.P.H.S. sub, who took over the task of teaching cooking. Exiting his chemistry teaching position was Bill Evans, who also taught some Biology early in his 28 years at G.P.H.S., and as of recent, also taught math. Looking for “change of pace” as his reason for leaving, Mr. Evans plans on teaching chemistry at Rogue Community College. He has considered his 28 years in the district “pleasureable and worthwhile.” Mr. Evans also says, “The district has really good teachers.” He joked when he said the kids are a necessary evil but feels we have “a fine bunch of kids.” During the years he feels the biggest change in the students is they ask why more often which he feels is good. So after his leave, many of his students will think G.P.H.S. has one less of those “really good teachers.” Adding a new face to the vocational department is 1966 Caveman graduate Barry Lumsden. Mr. Lumsden, who heard about the position from Joe Rosenfeldt, fills the shoes of Mr. Rosenfeldt who moved on to Arizona. Teaching in the vacancy left by Hub Edwards in the history department is Kris Olsen, who, in the seventh week of school, became Mrs. Vannoy. Mrs. Vannoy, who came to G.P.H.S. from Vancouver, Washington, settled in Grants Pass because she “wanted to live in a small community in Oregon.” A part-time teacher in the Industrial Mechanics program is Dan Speelman, who graduated from G.P.H.S. in 1974. Mr. Speelman comes to us from North Powder High School near La Grande, where he taught agriculture and F.F.A. for two years. Rounding out the list of new teachers is Gary Schaefer, and John Codington. Mr. Schaefer, band mentor from Corona, California, had 94 Academics the job of filling the big shoes of Bill Norfleet who moved to the University of Oregon. With Gary Mires moving on to Bend to coach the Lava Bears football program, John Codington, former head coach at Rogue River, filled Coach Mires’ shoes at assistant coach and P.E. teacher. At the start of the season, Mr. Codington looked forward to the new assignment with Grants Pass rich football tradition. The biggest administration change at G.P.H.S. was the move of Richard Newman, former principal, to the district office where he became Director of Secondary Education. Filling in the gap as principal was Athletic Director Clarence Baker. Maynard Frank, the former Vice-Principal at North Middle School, is the new Athletic Director. In his new office Mr. Newman is in charge of personnel and curriculum at all the high school and middle schools in District 7. Mr. Newman finds he enjoys his new job, but he does miss some of the high school scene. “I miss being around the kids and their activities,” he said. 1.

Choir Enrichened By Longtime Director Twenty seven years of teaching music at G.P.H.S. has not dulled Ron Hollensted’s love for music or concern for students involved in music. Mr. Hollsensted believes the most rewarding thing about teaching is seeing a poor student stick with music so they get really good at it. “My philosophy is to keep a poor student interested in music to keep him in school.” He believes in working to make each group or individual as musical as possible and to make them appreciate it. “They get the satisfaction in the end.” Mr. Hollensted first got interested in music because his father was a music director. He also sang a lot in grade school, high school, and in army bands. After attending high school in Portland, he got his college training at Pacific University and Lewis and Clark. The music department always goes through changes during the years including changes in style and types of music. Mr. Hollensted tries to adjust his approach to fit the needs of the students. Every year the choir travels somewhere to perform for a group of people. Last year they went to Tillamook, where the students stayed with adults. It was an unusual experience for them because they usually stayed with other students. They realized how appreciative the adults could be. Mr. Hollensted says, “The trips are always nervewracking but they are always exciting.” Mr. Hollensted says he will keep teaching as long as the program is healthy. He has been asked to go to other places to teach but he says he’ll stay because he likes the area. Mr. Hollensted’s wife, Dorene, also works at the high school. She’s a typist in the English office. They have two daughters, Melodi and Becki, both graduates of G.P.H.S.

Academics 97 Coach Inspired Sports Success in athletics calls for dedication, hard work, and setting goals of high standards. Such qualities have to begin with the coach, and Gerrie Halbert is a good example of those qualities. Athletics have always been an important part of her life, ever since her high school days in Denver, Colorado, where she participated in volleyball, basketball, tennis, track, and swimming. She graduated from Colorado State College of Education, which is now the University of Northern Colorado. Since she was in college during the war years, teachers were hard to come by, so while she was a student, she also taught college basketball, volleyball, and swimming for two years. Her first year out in the working world, she taught in Buhl, Minnesota and moved to Big Rapids, Michigan for her second year. “I just didn’t like cold weather,” was her response when asked why she moved to Grants Pass. During her first years here, there was no Girls Gym, no equipment, and 180 students per class in grades seven through twelve. “We had to take turns participating; we even had to hold class on the bleachers,” she recalled with a chuckle. She also stated that this was where running stair laps was created. In 1955, with the help of Maxine Fender, plans were drawn up for the Girls Gym, and most of what you see today is a result of their input. Desire and attitude rank tops on Miss Halbert’s list of priorities in the making of a good athlete. “You can always develop ability,” she says, but quickly adds that 95% of the students give everything. “There are a few who give nothing, but G.P.H.S. has exceptional students.” This statement really shines through when you take a look at her overall Varsity basketball record. In the last ten years, her teams have won 111 games and lost 44. She has led her teams to beat our rival Medford 17 of 21 times they’ve played. In 1978, she was the Oregon and District Basketball Coach of the Year. Even though this is her last year as girls Varsity basketball coach, she plans to continue assisting in volleyball. Although retirement is somewhere down the road, she is looking forward to traveling and spending time at the cabin at Lake of the Woods.

Starting out as a dishwasher, she has moved up to the only breakfast cook, and one of the 5th period lunch cooks. With all the students, she’s very well respected, and liked. Whenever she is absent, many of the kids ask for her. ‘‘There just doesn’t seem to be any replacement for Alice,” Eula Vasgird, the cafeteria manager says. “The kids love her, and the feeling is definitely mutual.” When asked what she enjoyed most about working at G.P.H.S., Alice replied, “The kids, every one of them are great! They’re my favorite people, and they keep me going.” She also mentioned that, “Many people don’t know what a good staff, and school system we have.” Alice has lived in Grants Pass for 10 years, moving here from Colorado. She lives with her husband Robert, who is a salesman for Oregon Cabinets. They have two children, Tom, age 25, and Jim, age 23. The latter, attended G.P.H.S. and graduated in “78”. Alice enjoys kids so much that she spends part of her free time doing things for students. During the summer, she picks berries, makes jelly, and brings it to school so the students who eat breakfast in the Cafeteria can have homemade jelly. Taking every day as it comes, Alice has no future plans, so it looks like we will not have to give her up in the near future. I.

INVOLVEMENT Can you imagine Grants Pass High School without “involvement”? Imagine no more sports, clubs, pep assemblies, or noontime activities. There would be nothing to cheer for, nothing to add excitement to a regular schedule of classes. This would greatly diminish the enjoyment, spirit, class unity, even school attendance. For students at G.P.H.S., this situation would be unbelievable. That Is because for so many years we have enjoyed all the activities and chances for involvement the faculty and student body work together to maintain. As senior Kim Elsasser puts it, “ The activity program in our school is really worthwhile. The clubs and activities generate a lot of spirit that wouldn’t be there without them.” Freshmen Greg Ross agrees: “Without all of our activities, there would be nothing to be spirited about,” he says. As well as spirit, clubs and activities create motivation for involvement. Senior Mike Lowe explains: “Most people I know really enjoy getting involved. It helps them to get into a more secure high school lifestyle, being invcflved with activities.” “I like just knowing that I’m doing something worthwhile with my time,” adds Tracy Stubble- field, sophomore class officer. What about leadership in clubs? “The people in charge of the activities I’m involved with are good workers,” says junior Holly Preslar. “Things get done, and money gets raised. I think there are a lot of people in the clubs that make a real effort to make it interesting and worthwhile.” “I think the people running the clubs know what they’re doing, “adds Greg Ross, “but I think there should be more positions for leadership in the clubs. More people should get to help run them.” Even newcomers to G.P.H.S. have noticed things that set our school apart from others. Two transfers from I.V.H.S., Dominique Hawkins and Tina Gonsalvez, were particularly impressed in the way our school is run. “I think it is really neat how students here put 100% into everything they do,” explains Dominique. Tina agrees, “I’ve noticed that whatever students are involved with here, they really put everything they’ve got into it.” Freshman Beth Brashears thinks that cooperation is a key to student involvement. “There is a lot of spirit, everyone is really involved, and people work together to make things successful.” Most students feel that very little needs to be done to improve the activity and club program at G.P.H.S., but senior Tom Threl-keld believes there could be more student cooperation. “Many students don’t plan to work or devote any time when they get involved in a club, and these things are necessary if you want the activity to be a success.” Overall, the students at G.P.H.S. really feel positive about the amount of involvement in our school. Activities director and advisor Jim Savard sums it up in this way: “After seeing how a lot of school systems are run around the state, our activity program is undoubtedly the best.” He adds with a chuckle, “But of course, I may be just a little bit prejudiced!” 1.

Activities Division 103 STUDENT COUNCIL Making Dreams On the bulletin board in Room one, the Student Council H.Q., is the saying, Leadership is making dreams happen. Nobody in Student Council this year would contest the fact that no major miracles came true, but a successful year was evident. Leadership reached its goal, that, being in the words of third vice Rusty Williams, We try to make school more fun by making it a little easier. Rusty was quick to point out that Student Council shouldn’t detract from the academic part of high school. He added, We try to make everyday seem like Friday. The leadership crew did add a little variety to life at G.P.H.S. Aside from the normal activities such as dances and assemblies, two top speakers visited the Rogue Valley. Dave Toma, the anti-drug advocate, gave three assemblies over two days for county schools, parents and city schools. Coming from Wyoming was Jim Kearns, a popular high school speaker, who made a stop-over following the Oregon Student Council Convention in Eugene. Other activities were 1 1.

Happen mixed between lunch hour, such as the third annual backgammon tourney, and the licorice and marshmallow eating contest and Steve Shaw, a card magician, who performed in the Student Center; and after school events like the bon fire and the Joe Richardson concert. Student Council also took a more active role in the decisionmaking process of the school administration and school board. Debbie Smith commented, Student Council is a way to get student opinions to the administrators which otherwise wouldn’t be heard. Examples of their representation include the phone survey dealing with the budget, representation at the school board by the first vice, and the set up of the new Youth Council. “When the Student Council works directly with the community, it shows the students are interested in their school and community and care what happens, said Krista Anderson. Throughout the year the Student Council’s influence was felt through activities or politics, making everyday a little more “like a Friday. 104 Student Council Gets Kids The A.S.B. officers were busy organizing fund-raisers and other activities in order to make school more interesting for the students. Among these activities were coupon books, a booth at the County Fair, t-shirts, a paper drive for the retarded citizens of Josephine County, seminars by Jim Kearns who is a leadership motivator, a canned food drive to aid the needy people at Christmas, an MDA Dance-a-thon, and the Prom. Members of the faculty worked closely with the students, helping to arrange A.S.B. OFFICERS Involved these activities. Meetings held everyWednes-day at lunch helped bring unity among the student government. Central County Council meetings were also held once a month and included Hidden Valley and North Valley. They met to discuss important issues and exchange ideas on how to improve the quality of student life. Without cooperation and dedication of these students, the activities would not have been possible. 1982-83 A.S.B. officers, left to right: Nancy Gage, first vice president; Renee Prior, secretary; Lynne Alie. treasurer.

Officers 105 ASSEMBLIES For Fun And Spirit This year’s assemblies were both entertaining and informative. The Student Council worked hard to raise enough money to bring such special guests as David Toma, Jim Kearns, and Rich Wilkerson. Toma spoke about drugs and the dangers of them from his own personal experiences. Originally from New York, he served as a New York police officer, has authored two books, and his life has served as a basis for two popular TV dramas, “Baretta” and “Toma”. Jim Kearns, a professional speaker from Wyoming, spoke about life, getting along, and getting involved. Wilkerson, a nationally-known youth Christian speaker also appeared in the Student Center during both noon hours. We were also entertained by special presentations, such as the Christian rock band. Arc, which was a Campus Life program, presenting a “balanced life” approach; also we had a Camful Production, our annual three-screen show which discussed life values. Pep Assemblies also entertained the students with enthusiastic spirit coordinated by Judi McCain. The pep assemblies consisted of skits, dances by the Varsity Rally, class competitions, and class yells motivated by the spirit stick. The freshmen, as usual, were fooled by the fake spirit stick, and the seniors usually won in class yells. 1. Chris McClure and Rick Ice help a University of Washington student set up for his energy-awareness presentation. 2. Gypsy Hurley looks into his mystical ball to predict G.P.H.S. football prowess. 3.

For the second year in a row, Mr. Morrow’s E.B. English class took around former G.P.H.S. students. Most of the “homecomers” were parents of students now attending G.P.H.S., but former graduates from as early as 1924 appeared at this event. Through the day, scattered clouds drifted over head, but didn’t prove to be much of a threat to the future planned football game and crowning of the queen at half time. With the game tied 0 0, the Homecoming proceedings began. The slight sprinkle, that began as soon as the first princess and escort stepped onto the field, built up into a flash flood in a matter of minutes. Even though the band almost trampled the dedicated Homecoming Court, they kept up with the event. Finally, after all were soaked, they were called up into the stands to finish the crowning of the queen. A wet and soggy Krista Anderson accepted this honor gratefully. Later, celebrating the football team’s 6-0 victory over Ashland, a dance was held in the English Gym. Homecoming 1982 will be remembered as the “wet but wonderful one.” BEFORE DURING AFTER Queen Senior Krista Anderson Homecoming 107 VARSITY RALLY Spirit Was High Spirit was high as the Varsity Rally entertained and excited us at the many excellent pep assemblies and games. They held many fund-raisers including bottle drives and the Snowball Dance to help pay for outfits and rally equipment. From the beginning of summer, the Rally members had been hard at work preparing for cheerleading camp. Their hard work paid off. At camp they received first place for their dance routine, superior trophies for the cheer and dance, all superior ribbons, a spirit stick, and a creativity award. Greg Killian, Frank Moore, Mike Holtzclaw, and Troy Farin-etti were added during basketball season to help perform more difficult stunts. G.P.H.S. was proud to have such hard working girls and guys to lead the spirit throughout the sports season. 108 Varsity Rally 1.

BAND First Year Director Carries On Tradition Caveman band didn't lose its touch with the loss of Bill Norfleet who left G.P.H.S. to instruct the U of O band. Taking Norfleet’s place was Gary Schaefer from Corona High School in California. To start off the new marching season, the band held a camp during the last two weeks of August. There, the freshmen were introduced to the high school band style and the whole group learned the routine and music that was to be used as their state champion marching routine. Drum majors Sue Benetti and Dave McCall led the band. Flag Team, and Royalettes to a second place win at the Pacific Coast Marching Band Invitational Championships. There they competed against bands from all over the West Coast. The band’s next competition was the U of O Festival of Bands held at Atzen Stadium. For the third year in a row the band took the first place trophy home. Be- tween these two competitions, the band entertained the crowds during the halftimes of football games. After marching season was over, the band split into a Wind Ensemble and Symphonic bands. The Symphonic band went to Roseburg Band Invitational and received all superior ratings. The Band also had many concerts while preparing for their five day tour to the San Jose area. There they entered a new type of competition, parade marching. In this competition they received first place along with the Flag Team. Both bands participated in the World of Music Festival in which the Symphonic received fourth place and the Wind Ensemble second. The band season ended with a first place in the Boatnik parade and playing during graduation. To say that Mr. Schaefer’s first year was successful would be the understatement of the day. G.P.H.S.

This year was advisor Judy Alie’s last year with the Flag Team. She started three years ago with no experience and helped the team with both of the state championships that they competed in. Members of the Flag Team worked with the band to raise money and performed with the band many times including the Boatnik Parade. Co-Captain Lynn Alie said that the team was filled with a lot of freshmen this year so they expect to see another outstanding competitive team next year. 1.

Flag Team 113 CHOIR Tour Highlights Year Highlighting the choir’s year was a tour to Seattle and the surrounding area. The Choir attended festivals with other schools throughout Oregon and Washington. Helping to foot the bill, the choir sold Texas Manor Fruitcakes, calendars, Ovaltine Bars and held car washes and performed at paid donation performances. The “Music in May’ Festival, held in Forest Grove, is an honor for those who are invited. Grants Pass’ top vocalists attended. They were Kelly Christian, Holly Mullins, Mike Lowe, Pat Taylor and Chris Webster. Mia Nicholson and Carl Lorenz also participated from the orchestra. With all the festivals, the choir gained experience in music performances. Throughout the year it is the students’ goal to improve their singing and know their capabilities. 1.

Choir 115 ORCHESTRA Musicians Work Hard For Big Competition, Soloists Place High The orchestra did an outstanding job this year with Carl Lorenz and Julie Dunne both having first ratings in the District solo competitions held at Ashland. Second ratings were given to David Sherrill, Keith Kelly, Mary Lewis, and Thad Hitchcock. Carl and Julie were selected for the state solo competition held in Monmouth on April 30. The orchestra, led by director Gary DeRoest, was involved in many activities. These important activities included Olive Street Capers, Vespers Concert, A.F.S. Tea, Beta Sigma Phi Tea, the Appreciation Banquet, Spring Concert, Baccalaureate, and the Orchestra Awards Banquet to end the year. The orchestra was also involved in a few fund raisers including raffles and donations. The money raised was used for the banquet awards and the scholarship fund. Commenting on the busy year Mia Nicholson said, “Despite our small size, I think we had a good year.’ 116 Orchestra 1. ORCHESTRA: Row I: Mary Lewis. Thad Hitchcock. Julie Dunne Row 2: Jackie Frost.

They were sponsored by American Field Service, International Fellowship Inc., the Baptist Church, and by their own funding. When interviewed, the visiting students said they came here for a new experience and they were enjoying themselves. However, there were some differences that they had to get used to. “I think everything is different. I like all the green here. In Japan there are more buildings and people; here there are more trees,” says Keoko Ohyama. Most of the students also agreed that G.P.H.S. was easier and not as strict as the schools that they were used to. At home they had 3-4 hours of homework every night. The schools are all private and there are no co-ed schools. The students are required to wear uniforms, and they have no choice of classes to take. Getting used to the language also took some time. They agreed that the people here are very friendly. The only problem with making friends was the language barrier. “It was hard to understand in class, but the teachers tried to help me understand,” said Malena Rodriguez, one of our visitors from Peru. Malena also gave us an idea of the differences in families between Peru and the United States. “There are 6 or 7 people in one family and teenagers do not work. Their parents pay for them,” Malena told us. Another difference was that the majority of women in Peru do not work either. 1.

He took over and helped keep up the enthusiasm of previous years. Led by President Paul Schaecher, Vice President Thad Phillips and Secretary Amanda Duncan, the club again sponsored a car show so members could show off the results of their work in the vocational building. Mr. Lumsden revealed that with the training members received, they could enter the job market for entry level jobs in auto repair. Many students, though, continue at technical schools and are then able to take higher position jobs. 1. Barry Lumsden gives some advice on timing an engine to junior Sean McCoy. 2.

They competed in many tournaments throughout the state. The team also competed in the “Voice of Democracy” contest sponsored by the Veteran of Foreign Wars. The Speech Team belongs to the National Forensic League, a nationally-known organization, and they also competed with other schools in the district. The team had a twenty member squad for competitions this year. With all of the traveling to Southern Oregon State College in Ashland, University of Oregon in Eugene, and the state tournament in Eugene, the team needed funds. Some of the fund-raisers were maintaining a concession stand at football games, selling athletic programs at sport activities, and working at after game dances after the basketball games. Beth Geary was the only member to travel to State. Beth feels that the future is positive for her because experience is an important factor to win and right now she does have that.

Speech Team 121 I.R.L.-M.U.N. Two Students On Because of the later date of the Model United Nations conference and the earlier-than-usu-al Prom, the number of Grants Pass delegates dwindled as the year progressed. In the end, four countries were fielded; Belgium, Kuwait, Argentina and Zambia, and twelve students went to the U.N conference. Throughout the year students participated in other U.N. activities including Security Council at the State Capitol in Salem and Regionals in both Salem and Ro-seburg. Two students taking leadership positions at the state conference were Andy Moos and Mike Holtzclaw, who worked as committee Legal Officers (Parliamentarian). Doing this they did not represent a country but helped facilitate debates at the April U of O conference. These two, along with state officer Historian Jim Hermens, participated in two leadership training sessions in Salem. Hermens ran again for a state office and narrowly won the Vice-Presidency over five other candidates. “The state conference was one of the best ran conferences I’ve been to,’’ said Mike Holtzclaw, “It really ran smooth.” New things were added to the conference including a credential process which tests delegates over countries and topics such as El Salvador and Palastin-ian autonomy. The conference also featured a slide show with the pictures taken by Jim Hermens and the normal activities such as the dance and Internation Banquet featuring foods from around the globe. 1.

WINTER COURT Queen Senior Sue Benetti Benetti Surprised And Honored The 1983 Winter Court was announced over the loud speaker instead of the traditional pep assembly as in the past. The crowning of the Queen was during the Klamath Falls game February 19. The eight candidates were: freshmen Kim Martin-sen and Lisa Childers; sophomores Robyn White and Debbie Lein; juniors Brenda Bra-shears and Heidi Stiewig; seniors Dawn Lind and Sue Benetti. The girls waited nervously for the final moment. Dave McCall did the crowning honors with the help of attendants Ryan Marchant, age 4, and Casey Mandell, 4. The lucky girl was Sue Benetti who was escorted by her brother Randy. Sue said, “My first reaction was, what purpose does the Lord have for me making court? Being voted Queen was more than I ever expected. I felt numb and happy at the same time.” Senior Princess Dawn Lind Junior Princess Brenda Brashears Junior Princess Heidi Stiewig Sophomore Princess Debbie Lien Sophomore Princess Robyn White Freshman Princess Lisa Childers Freshman Princess Kim Martinsen Winter Court 123 TOKA Award Inspires Staff A lot of hard work and determination paid off for the 1982 Toka staff. After receiving the yearbook, advisor Wayne Morrow sent it off to be judged in New York by the American Scholastic Press. It was mostly out of curiosity that he sent the book, and didn’t expect the number one rating it received. With such a high rating and some constructive suggestions, the 1983 staff got an inspirational start on things. Toka Editor Michele Rudisill and Assistant Editor Jim Hermens both prepared and planned out the yearbook at Jostens Yearbook camp, which was held during the summer for a week. The theme, ad pages, and cover were major decisions made at the camp. The cover was more traditonal than years in the past. The ad pages now have colored backgrounds which make the ads more exciting and give the advertisers more recognition. Ads are the main source of money for the yearbook. With the slow-down economy. selling ads was more difficult than in previous years. Caren Carpenter. Business Man ager, feels that the economy had affected the book greatly. Our goal at the first of the year was $4000. but the year is almost over and we have sold only $2900. Michele’s goal for this year’s book was to bring it closer to the individual. “In every other book, all the same people are on every page, says Michele. “We tried to get all the people and memories of the 1982 and 83 year into one book.” 124 Toka Staff 1.

Most students looked forward to third period on Fridays, when a Scroll staff member would open that classroom door and bring in a stack of Scrolls. Suddenly that English, math, or science lesson was no longer important. Our only question was “When will that teacher quit talking and pass out those Scrolls?” Few students realize how much hard work and frustration goes in to planning for stories, gathering information, correcting, writing headlines, and meeting the deadlines along the way. Besides the actual work itself, Scroll staffers did other things to become better journalists. In October, several attended a two-day Oregon Scholastic Press Conference at the University of Oregon. It was at this conference that Kris Charlton took second place in the state in a feature writing contest. Another memorable event of the year was an April Fool issue. Students were caught off guard with stories such as the closing of the school cafeteria, stealing books from the library, installation of faculty saunas, and a freshman boy caught under an oak tree that fell down. Before the end of the year, plans were already being made for next year’s Scroll. Kris Charlton was chosen as the new editor. 1. Scroll advisor David Moodie. 2. SCROLL STAFF: Row 1: John Meh ringer.

Two sets of officers are elected and they serve for each semester. Some of the activities of Tree toppers are going to a Logging Equipment show in Eugene, the Oregon State Logging Skills contest at Chemekeeta College in Salem, and competing in logging skills contests at various schools in southern Oregon. For fund-raisers the Treetop-pers have wood raffles and sell many cords of wood during the year. The wood, mostly oak and madrone, is cut, split, and delivered by members. The money is used for trips and equipment upkeep. Treetoppers are always in need of new members, especially girls to give greater strength in competition contests. 128 Treetoppers 1.

Popularity Increases With More Involvement F.C.A.’s popularity increased as meeting turnout improved and curriculum improved. The girls program, in its second year, welcomed all interested and the age of the girls program did not inhibit activities. Advisor Jack Woodhead indicated the girls were “every bit as active as the guys.” Along with Coach Wood-head, his wife Susan, and Dan and Diane Speelman helped lead F.C.A. goings-on. Meetings, held Wednesday night, combined rap sessions with athletic activities. Many activities were aimed at raising funds so students could participate in the summer conference held at Fresno State University for guys and Fresno Pacific for girls. The hour long jog-a-thon challenged members to run laps for pledges, and the Easter morning breakfast invited families to have their Sunday morning meal prepared by F.C.A. members along with the local Kiwanis club. Woodhead said summer conference was a culmination of all F.C.A. meetings throughout the year. He mentioned, “The conference features speakers and then the kids break into huddle groups.” The camp has a lot of athletic events along with Bible study. He added the kids really look forward to the groups at conference for personal growth. 130 F.C.A. 1. At the gun.

McCall, who also serves as state President of OYTSA, added that the club has a strong commitment to SADD, Student Against Drunk Driving. The campaign for the year was carried on in three main forms. Pamphlets and information were passed out at various state conferences. A safety slogan contest was held aimed at both high school and elementary school students, and the club made personal contacts with lo- cal schools. The club hosted the Southern Oregon Regional conference with safety programs and informative speakers available to ten other schools. Along with McCall, Julie Raskin also holds a major elected position, being a regional Representative for the National Students Safety Program, a brother organization to OYTSA. Both were elected at the state conference in October and McCall plans to run for re-election. 1.

Bob Hadlock is the adviser of Campus Life and attends all of the activities. Every year at the beginning of school, Campus Life holds a Burger Bash to introduce new students to the club. Later on in the year other activities are held. Some of the activities were dressing up as monsters and working at “Scream in the Dark” in Medford, the annual Campus Life Mud Bowl and taking their yearly trip during the summer to “Big Sky” Montana. Campus Life had about 25 members at each meeting. They had their meetings every Tuesday night at 7:30. Every other week was Insight, which is a time of learning more about the Bible and coping with life better. Meetings were held at different members houses each time. Tim Hyatt says, “Going to camp is the best time of the summer and the most fun for Campus Life.” Brenda Varner says, “The best thing for me is meeting new friends.” 1.

It is a national organization with local chapters and was formed to give recognition to students for scholarships, leadership, character, and service. To qualify for the National Honor Society, students must have a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.5. Teachers then rate the students on character, service and leadership. The official ceremony in- cludes the candle lighting and the pledge. Students then must maintain their 3.5 G.P.A. National Honor Society students are involved in many various fund-raising activities. They sponsor the Mardi Gras to receive money for annual scholarships for other National Honor students and they help purchase books for the library. Mr. Anderson said, “I like working with this group because their effort results in helpful projects for the school and financial aid to kids going to college.” 1.

The decorations, including masks, balloons, and cotton candy, gave the effect of an old-time celebration in the South. Portraits of couples were taken by Delcoure Photography, with the setting of a park bench. Semi-formal dress gave the evening a classy touch as both guys and gals were spruced up for the event. Music was provided by KFMJ who made their G.P.H.S. debut, and they played the theme song “Up Where We Belong”, along with a mixture of other tunes. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Cave King, senior Marvin Fox. The Cave Court, which was announced at the pep assembly on February 18, also included senior Jim Henderson, juniors Larry Goth and Tony Marsh, sophomores Dave Southwick and Jeff Alie, and freshmen Andy Hyatt and Scott Nave. 1.

Thespian usually pertains to actor or actress. This year’s Thespians have worked hard to uphold the tradition of “thespian” by earning enough points to qualify for the title of “Thespian” through participating in plays, seeing plays and helping out with them. The Thespians have done several projects to raise enough money for sets and trips. Starting in the summer with a car wash, and in the fall with a garage sale, selling old stage clothes and miscellaneous items, and with a fashion show, students have raised money. Officers of the Thespian Club are: Kip Clark, president; Shannon O’Connor, vice president; Kim Elsasser, secretary; Mia Nicholson, recorder; and Chris Van Arsdale, treasurer. Advisor is Burt Eikleberry. In place of normal fall productions, the group came up with the idea of the Olive Street Capers, which gave students a chance to act on stage without all the expense that usually goes with a full production. The major spring production was “The Crucible” and school ended with a student-directed and produced experimental show consisting of one-act plays and skits. Some drama members attended the Portland University Drama Festival and were given the opportunity towatch other actors from various schools throughout Oregon. During Christmas drama students helped downtown merchants by being elves and passing out candycanes throughout town. Mr. Eikleberry scheduled a workshop at the Ashland Shakespearean Festival in which drama students could have group discussions with the Festival’s actors. The students then saw “The Matchmaker” and were able to see how great actors were on stage. Thespians attended the Thespian State Conference at the University of Oregon in Eugene. The festival consisted of workshops on acting, dance and plays. It was a weekend of learning and fun. And finally, nine students helped with the KSYK public television in May. 138 Thespians THESPIAN OFFICERS: Row 1: Kip Clark, president; Shannon O’Connor, vice president; Row 2: Ed Vincent; Kim Elsasser, secretary; Row 3: Mia Nicholsen, clerk.

Thespians 139 OLIVE STREET CAPERS Vaudeville Acts Spark Fundraiser The original idea of this year’s talent show, appropriately named Olive Street Capers, was to get both adults and teens together to have a good time and help bridge the generation gap. The adults who took part were all retired amateurs with talents to share. Jim Savard and Burt Eikle-berry from G.P.H.S. and Sally Duckworth from the Vitality Center all put their heads together for the idea. Vitality Center is a place for retired senior citizens to exercise and dance and make new friends to keep them busy. The seniors performed in such famous vaudeville acts as the Can Can, Bicycle Built for Two, the Charlston, and also had a retired opera singer, Irma Schulz, perform in some acts. Among the many students acts were solo performances by Mia Nicholson on the violin, Julie Dunn on the cello, Jackie Frost sang “Open Arms”, and skits were put on by the drama department. Profits from the talent show were split evenly between the drama department and the Vitality Center. 1. Olive Street Capers performers Mia Nicholson. Mike Johnson, and Kim El-sasser show where the name of this year's successful show came from. 2.

Drama Department, being of talent-show type, which showed with a little roughness around the edges. But with the variety of acts and fine music, it made for an enjoyable evening, and as the last number said, “That’s Entertainment.’’ The production must also be considered successful as it benefited the senior citizens Vitality Center and also gave G.P.H.S. students a chance to work with older people. The musical numbers were especially good, calling to mind the Barbershop Quartet with Kelly Christian, Shannon O’Connor, Holly Mullins, and C.J. McKercher, and Jackie Frost’s singing of “Open Arms.’’ Following the entertainment trends through the 19th century, the comedy tainted skits added a lighter side to the performance. Most notable was the perfor mance of Phyllis Clark in “Sell, Sell. Sell.’’ Though, as said before, a little rough around the edges, the Capers gave the Drama Department valuable experience in the talent show field, and if attempted again should be finely polished. Olive Street Capers 141 “CRUCIBLE” Serious Drama Provides “The Crucible”, Arthur Millers award-winning play, was performed in Heater-Newman Memorial Gym March 10-12. The play, based in Salem, Massachusetts, in the 1600’s, covers the events of the Salem witch trials. The play provided a change of pace for the G.P. Drama Department and director Burt Ei-kleberry and it was a complete opposite from this year’s comedy-filled “Olive Street Capers” due to the seriousness of the subject. Shannon O’Connor felt the seriousness, and the time period, made “The Crucible” a little more difficult than others. “Other plays are more modern and easier to relate to,” she said. The seating of the audience was another major change for the production. A “round” was constructed around the stage so that the audience sat on three Challenge sides of the stage. The actors quickly found that it was all right to have their backs to part of the audience. Kip Clark felt the “round” was the biggest difference between “The Crucible” and other G.P.H.S. plays. “You could ‘feel’ the audience and know what they thought about each part of the play,” he said. Shannon added, “With the audience so close, you really had to be natural, you couldn’t overact. The audience could pick up your mistakes.” These changes did not damage the success of the presentation. When the play first opened in New York in 1953, it was received with a standing ovation and 19 curtain calls. This success spread to G.P.H.S. as two of “The Crucible” performances, out of three, were sold out. 142 “Crucible” Crucible” 143 1.

ROYALETTES Dancers Fill Trophy Case For the second year in a row, the Royalettes came home from the state championship in Portland with a few tears in their eyes. Again, the state championship eluded the team by less than half a point. The second place finish was by no means a setback to the dance-drill team, and any other team in the state would give their dance shoes for the awards the Royalettes have garnered over the year. The trophy case now contains for ’83: top honors for dance teams at Atuzen State Band Competition, best costumes at the state competition, and first place in competition at U.S.A. summer camp. The team took on a rigorous schedule of daily double prac- tices before school, then rehearsed between 10-12 hours a week during school. The Royalettes attended the summer United Spirit Association Camp and along with the team award brought back individual honors to Aileen Haley, Dorey Burton, Vicki Kolkow, and Heidi Wood-head who were all finalists for the Miss Supersensational Contest. Special mention went to four Royalettes at the year-end picnic. Most Valuable Royalette was Maria Reich, while Stacey Sager was named Most Improved, and co-winners Vicki Kolkow and Aileen Haley were dubbed as Most Inspirational.

She was named to the All-State dance team by the Oregon Dance and Drill Association. Maria was also selected to teach at U.S.A. camps from a large number of applicants. She is the first and only Grants Pass student chosen to teach for U.S.A. The Royalette Hall of Fame, four year team members, increased by three; along with Maria, senior line captains Dorey Burton and Vicki Kolkow have been on the squad since their freshman year. Royalettes 145 Spirit of. . . ACCOMPLISHMENT Accomplishment is never the end: accomplishment is the beginning of an even longer, ordeal. For us, the Toka staff, the finishing of this book is the beginning of much apprehension, waiting to see the finished product, the way you enjoy it and most of all, the way the year, smiles, trials, tears, and joy, was recorded on these pages. For the underclass students in general, this is the beginning of summer-a long worthwhile rest. But before we’ve earned that rest we begin preparing for the next year. Students run for class office or apply to be committee chairs if they wish to be in leadership. Rally tryouts are held and so are organizational meetings for fall sports. And we all go through the hassle of planning our next year’s schedule. The year ahead gives us a chance to build upon the year behind us. Seniors accomplished their high school years and now step into the public spectrum. Before the seniors take that step a lot of little things must be accomplished along the way. The college bound student must fill out a multitude of scholarship and application forms, take the SAT test and finally decide on a school. The student entering the job market might take the ASVAB test or may have possibly decided on which career to pursue, then there’s always the possibility of technical school. The accomplishment of high school aids this big step. The feeling of accomplishment comes after dedication but always is followed by a new beginning. This new beginning, our next school year or graduation, is usually approached with apprehension. But this apprehension will soon disappear and we’ll take on our new challenge. Closing Division 147 PROM Convention Center Adds Touch Of To add a touch of sophistication and class to the 1983 Prom, the planning committee decided to change the location from the Girl’s Gym to the Riverside Conference Center, and chose the theme “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” But as in years past, this was the night of the crowning of the King and Queen. As Infinity played the song “We’ve Got Tonight’’, which was dedicated in honor of the Senior Class, the court gracefully made their enterance onto the floor. The court consisted of senior princesses Timi Prulhiere, Kris McKnight, Debbie Usrey, and Gail McGill. Senior princes were Mike Holtzclaw, Dan Hyatt, Ray Johnson, and Class Skip Maxwell. Junior princesses were Debbie Smith, Julie Wolfe, Lisa Mandell, and Debby Jaynes. Junior princes were Doug Hull, Jim Hermens, Brian West, and Darin Prulhiere. As the moment of anticipation was nearing an end, Aly Werschky crowned senior Ray Johnson. He then had the privilege of putting the crowning glory of queen onto senior Timi Prulhiere. The court then had a slow dance in their honor. The festivities continued and turned out to be a very memorable evening. It was indeed a night to remember, as the 140 couples attending indeed did “put on the ritz”. 148 Prom 1. King Senior Ray Johnson. Senior Princess Debbie Usrey. 2. Senior Prince Skip Maxwell.

Senior Activity Night, an all-night extravaganza of food, fun, and friendship, blossomed into a success. The all-night, drearyeyed yet smiley faced happenings ended with breakfast at 5 a.m. The Senior Banquet was again at the Mormon Stake Center where soon-to-be grads witnessed a slide show and enjoyed the senior celebrity awards. Baccalaureate offered a religious service for the graduating class. Dave Berry opened with a prayer, then Alysson Werschky read the scripture, and Michele Rudisill delivered the remarks. Following the students, Andy Anderson delivered a speech on the “Golden Rule”, calling upon not only the Bible but many ancient philosophers. Reverend Fogelquist gave the sermon pointing out how awakening it was to see his son Rick in the graduating class. 250 seniors participated in the Commencement program on Mel Ingram Field. The graduates barely finished the program when the town was drenched with showers; earlier consider- ations had been made to hold the program inside. Both choir and orchestra lended their talents to the ceremony which featured the speeches of four valedictorians and two salutatorians. Diana Radford, Suzanne Wass-ing, Julie Lundberg and Jennifer Sandberg all boasted 4.0 G.P.A.s while Michele Rudisill and Greg Tutt were co-salutato-rians. The quotes on these pages are from the speeches. The biggest cheers came as special education student Vince Mikolavich received his diploma to the cheers of the crowd and a standing ovation from classmates. With the same usual pomp and circumstances, a few tears and many smiles, the 9th G.P.H.S. class left the field under the rose arches. I.

Not the beginning of the end. This is the end of the very beginning. And the secret of action is to begin. So let’s begin.” Jennifer Sandberg % fi T Student Effort Passes Vote In the midst of the economic slowdown, local voters were asked to pass a budget for the operation of District 7. The levy failed once, June 29, and the voters were called again to pass the budget Sept. 21 with a $228,000 reduction. Even with this reduction, resulting in a $690,000 budget, Jim Savard wanted to take no chances with it passing as he instigated a major campaign. He steamrolled ahead with “Vote Yes for Kids” yard signs, mailed literature, radio ads featuring G.P.H.S. students, and the major project, a phone survey. About 150 students assisted in the survey, polling all registered voters in the city. “It was mainly to gain yes votes,” said Mr. Savard, “but it also improved communica- tion between voters and the school system.” Dawn Ackerman, one of the phone survey captains whose work totalled about 20 hours, found most of the people surveyed were positive toward the budget passing. “Most people said they’d vote yes,” Dawn said. When it came down to it on September 21, the persistent campaigning paid off as the budget was passed hands down. The final vote count totalled 3092 for to 2268 against. Even without learning the results the night before, you knew the levy passed on the morning of the 22nd as Mr. Savard’s bright smile of success beamed all over the school. 1.

With all these elections “close to home” many students became involved. Working with politics can influence students. “Being active in politics gives a student citizenship training and shows that an individual student can make a difference,” said Jim Savard. The students become involved because they have a “vested interest” in the outcome, Savard added. He also felt student participa- tion and feelings made a “significant difference.” Students helped out in the phone survey prior to the district budget vote and displayed yard signs for Ballot Measure Three; the majority urged a no vote. G.P.H.S. also was a host to a Candidates Fair in the Student Center. Most of the local candidates participated in the fair along with a few state candidates. The largest project was the mock election, held a few days before the national polls opened. Students had to go through the whole election process, including choosing a party affiliation, registering, and signing in when they voted, and voting using sample ballots supplied by County Clerk Maxine Foster. Two precincts had polls, with the precincts being chosen by alphabetical order. The outcome of the election nearly paralleled the local vote; students disagreed only on District Attorney, Chris Mecca instead of Gene Farmer; Measure Three failed, it passed locally but failed statewide. “I think most took it (election) seriously, but many kids were swayed by a candidate publicly,” commented election coordinator Mike Holtzclaw. He felt many adults voted in the same manner. “People seem to vote for who they hear about instead of looking into the candidates,” Holtzclaw added. Students And Elections 161 World News The International scene maintained the same dismal qualities as past years-borderline wars, economic hardship, and terrorist activities. Closer to home, there was an air of optimism for the coming of ’83, and Americans had more chances to smile. Border clashes still went on between Iran and Iraq, but the age old war lacked attention since it became isolated from the outside world. There was continued unrest in both El Salvador and Lebanon. The rebels in El Salvador kept up their fight for governmental freedom and equality, and President Reagan still wished to supply the government with military aide under the reasoning that the rebels were leftist backed. The city of Beruit, Lebanon was smashed to rubble amidst Israeli bombings. Israel was moving to break up the Palestine Liberation Organization, but the bombings ended when the U.S. and other major powers stepped in as mediators and replaced the P.L.O. members in other mid-east countries. On the national level, the dwindling economy, which hinted at recovery, and the Tylenol murders kept top spots in the headlines. The year saw 10.8 percent of the American workforce unemployed, the highest since World War II. This figure began to drop at the start of ’83, leading the many economists to believe the road to recovery was not that far away. Other reasons for optimism included the falling gas prices due to drops in O.P.E.C. export prices. The organization constantly competed with itself, causing disagreement and gas prices as low as 80 cents per gallon. Inflation came to a near standstill and Reagan passed through Congress a jobs bill which he assured was not a false solution to curb unemployment. The nation was shocked after seven people died in the Chicago area due to cyanide-laced Tylenol. The effects spread across the nation and “copycat murders” were reported in Philadelphia and southern California. Proctor and Gamble recalled countless amounts of capsules, and replaced the product in January with tamper-resistant containers, offering free samples to the public. Also, John A. De Lorean, the former Chrysler engineer who broke away to produce his own stainless steel gull wing door car, was arrested on attempt to sell a large amount of cocaine to provide funds for his failing company. The car sales, which started as a boom, dropped to almost nil and countless many were left unsold. Pope John Paul II made his second journey to his homeland, a troubled Poland, in the spring. Poland was still under martial law after the crackdown on the labor unior Solidarity and was not lifted until July. While in Poland the Pope met with union leader Lech Walesa, praised the unions efforts for justice, and encouraged the hope for internal peace in his native country. In England Margaret Thatcher won a landslide victory for another bid for the Prime Minister position. While the Conservative Party leader urged Great Britain to vote out the threat of Socialism once and for all, her party captured a huge 144 seat majority in Parliament. Local Headlines Most of the top spots of the year’s local stories dealt with the recession and the economy but the year’s top story of 82-83 concerned the saddening death of a G.P.H.S. student. Steven Wright was shot by “M” Street Market owner Eugene Williams while Wright and a friend, Robert Prior, were leaving the store following the break in. The trail which ensued weighed the value of a person’s life against the right of another to protect his property. Williams pleaded no contest to first degree manslaughter and first degree attempted manslaughter, was sentenced to five years, and placed on probation for the consecutive terms. The economy, still in its recession slowdown, saw the closure of many longtime G.P. businesses. Most noticeable were the closures of the Champion factory and Caveman Camper. Champion chose to establish a newer factory back east. Even before the closure, factory employees planned on opening their own imprint business using the old factory. Most plywood and saw mill-related businesses either curtailed production or closed down for extensive periods of time. 1983 saw a battle between radio personality and religious philosopher Roy Masters and the County Commissioners and the Assessor’s office. Masters, founder of the Foundation of Human Understanding, was not granted tax exempt status for his church propery and engaged in a face to face debate with the commissioners. The debate ended with Master’s position unchanged and he called for his “followers” to flood the assessors office with phone calls, though few called. He also stated that up to 5000 of his followers might move to this area. Political changes confronted Josephine County in big ways. The election in November made changes in almost every office. Republican Bob Smith became the Representitive to Congress for the new fourth district and Tony Corriea defeated 16 others en route to a County Commissioner post. The closest election came between Chris Mecca and Eugene Farmer for District Attorney. After a recount Farmer won by a mere eight votes. Superintendant of Schools DeRand Jones also saw his tenure come to a close as the School Board failed to renew his contrct which started a search for a replacement. The winter turned out to be one of the wettest on record. As the hills filled up with snow and the skiers rejoiced, the Rogue Valley became soggy with continuous precipitation. Only a sprinkling of snow fell on the valley floor. The most stunning record set was that of 41 straight days with precipitation, breaking the old record of 28 days. A complete change from the drenched winter was the fire-scorched summer of ’82. More than 30 forest fires dotted Southern Oregon with an arsonist being suspected. The largest fire claimed 20 acres of logs at the Med Co. Mill in Rogue River, started by children. A fire in mid-winter almost completely destroyed Valley Lumber Company on “E” Street. The cause was not known, but arson was also suspected. 162 News Sports Roundup College football didn’t have the merry-go-round of number one teams this year as in past, but the top of the poll saw only a few changes with Pittsburg, Penn State, Washington, Nebraska, and Georgia the teams that grabbed the most limelight at the top of the A.P. and U.P.I. polls. Prior to the New Year’s showdown, the number one team seemed to be easily decided in the Sugar Bowl in the matchup between end-of-season number one Georgia and number two Penn State. The Nittany Lions struck early and held Heisman Trophy winner Hershall Walker at bay as Penn State held on for a 27-23 victory, giving coach Joe Paterno a unanimous number one ranking Pro football was not as clear cut and defined as in the college ranks. A 57 day player strike left the country with out N.F.L. football for the duration. The season, after the strike, was shortened to meet the Super Bowl Bowl date in Pasadena and playoffs went in a scaled-down fashion. The championship pitted the Washington Redskins against the Miami Dolphins. When the Redskins won on the running of M.V.P. John Riggins, the capital went “hog wild” due to the nickname of their offensive front “the hogs.” Perhaps the most surprising sports news came in the formation of a new professional football league, the United States Football League. The entrepeneurs who formed the new league planned some definite differences between it and the N.F.L. The 12 team U.S.F.L. ran its season from February until early summer so as to not compete for T.V. time or ticket sales with the established league. Some minor rule chages were made and a regional college draft system installed. Many sports fans felt the new league would meet the same fate as the now defunct World Football League. But with the different season and multi-millionaire owners the U.S.F.L. saw success in its debut season. High priced contracts attracted top college prospects including Anthony Carter, Tom Ramsey, Kelvin Bryant, and Hershall Walker, who left Georgia his junior year for the million dollars a year play for the New Jersery franchise. College basketball did not see a team survive the season without a loss, and an underdog with eleven losses. North Carolina State, ran through the final tournament undefeated. Jim Valvano, coach of the Wolfpack, claimed they were a team of destiny as they ran up one and two point wins in the tournament. They surprised the nation, winning the Atlantic Coast tourney by defeating North Carolina and Virginia, back to back. The Virginia Cavaliers, with senior Ralph Sampson, lost once more to the Wolfpack in the N.C.A.A. and North Carolina State went on to defeat the nation’s number one, Houston, in the final by three. The year in tennis belonged to Jimmy Conners and Martina Navratilova. Connors claimed both the Wimbledon and U.S. Open crowns, defeating John McEnroe in the longest Wimbledon final ever, and Ivan Lendl in New York. This was all done in the absence of Bjorn Borg who played a light tennis schedule and was forced to qualify for any events he played. He did not play the major tournaments and lost in many qualifying rounds. The world was shocked when, after a comeback try, he retired, in April. In his last professional match he lost against his archrival of nine years, Connors, Navratilova streaked through the year, losing only three matches and winning three of the four Grand Slam events. The U.S. Open was won by Chris Evert Lloyd. Other notable tennis facts include the winning of the French Open by an 18 year old Swede, Mats Wilander, the youngest ever, and the prize money of Lendl who pocketed over 2 million. A slight upset surprised the many spectators lining the streets of Boston for the annual marathon. Midway through the race Greg Meyer pulled away from the pack and left four-time winner Bill Rogers far behind. In the women’s division Joan Benoit raced through the 26 miles, 385 yards course to claim the women’s crown. After weeks of public speculation. Sugar Ray Leonard decided to hangup his gloves and retire from professional boxing. A detached retina sent him to surgery and after recovery, doctors advised him of the risk for blindness to occur in that eye should he fight again. Leonard, who was a member of the 1976 Olympics fantastic four gold medals winners, stepped down while still holding on to an undispu-table world title in the welterweight division. Baseball’s world series belonged to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Red Birds came from 3-2 down in the series against Milwaukee to cap the season. The season’s individual honors belonged to Oakland A’s speedster Ricky Henderson. Henderson stole 130 bases from opposing teams to smash the old major league record by twelve. Screen Wrap Up Most students would agree, as would student moviegoers, that the year turned out exceptionally well for onscreen performances. The summer’s favorite flick turned out to be the horror of Poltergeist” and the year also contained “E.T.,” “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Missing,” and “Das Boot.” “E.T.”, another Stephen Speilberg flick, was liked by children and adults alike with the heartwarming tale of the space creature wanting to go home. The effects of “E.T.” were seen in its mass marketing of E.T. dolls, pencils, puppets, and other space paraphernalia. Many of the best films were released for the holiday film rush such as “Sophie’s Choice,” “Tootsie,” and “Gandhi.” “Gandhi”, for all intensive purposes, swept the Academy Awards including Oscars for Best Picture and Best Actor, Ben Kingsley. The show portrayed the life of the passive Indian nationalist, depicting his charisma and honest leadership toward the people of India. Getting a head start on the Academy Awards of 1984 was the movie “Return of the Jedi,” the third in the George Lucas “Star Wars” trilogy. “Jedi” picks up where “The Empire Strikes Back” left off. The original stars remained in the second sequal including Mark Hammil as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. The movie set the first week record for box office sales, surpassing “Star Trek II.” “Jedi” averaged over $3000 per theatre in its first seven days. The mini series dominated parts of the television year and three in particular, “The Thorn Birds,” “Winds of War,” and “The Blue and the Gray” dominated Nielson ratings for their respective weeks. All three mini series were based on best-selling books that also dominated the fiction charts. The most popular episode of any T.V. shows for the year, and the decade, was the final showing of “M A S H.” After eleven years the show was taken off the air in a tear-jerking finale as the crew departed following the war. The final show was viewed by a worldwide audience of over 200 million. News 163 Spring Shines On G.P.H.S. 164 Closing Circle.

It hangs on thousands of classroom walls throughout America and is never shown without the Responsibility” line. The Credo has been approved by over 200 justices of state supreme courts as the best definition extant of the American Way of Life. The American Credo will now be included with all American Precious Documents distributed by the Freedom Documents Foundation. The Credo is the judging guide for all material going to the Awards Programs of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge of which Don Belding was one of the founders.

It stems from the work of Don Belding, senior class President of 1914, who passed away in 1969. That year he donated $10,000 in a trust fund with the interest going to the Toka, amounting to about $500 a year. In his high school years, Belding was the Business Manager of the Toka and, as Walt Ensminger, former yearbook advisor says, “Was responsible for innovating a “big” Toka to replace a small magazine edition.” This Toka experience sparked his interest in advertising and he persued this at the University of Oregon in Eugene. He became very successful and was a member of the third largest advertising firm in the nation. He went on to become the chairman of Schick Razor and was a founder of the Freedom Foundation, and it was for this group he wrote the Credo. Mr. Ensminger added that his success did not spoil his hometown attitude, “He was extremely grateful to his class, school, community, and country for what he had attained.” Credo 173 BUSINESS When we look back on the year 1982-83, we will see it as a year of transformation and progress. Grants Pass went through many changes the past year including a housing slowdown, the decreasing use of the tax dollar for school activities, and mainly the lack of temporary jobs. Along with the cutbacks and slowdowns were many new and improving changes. The water system throughout Grants Pass has been updated to improve fire protection. It should also help expand old businesses and start new ones. There were additions to both Josephine Memorial and Southern Oregon hospitals. Another new addition in Grants Pass was the Siskiyou National Forest Service building. There also may have been a new tradition started this year, the lighting of a Christmas tree by the mayor. Grants Pass and all of Southern Oregon has recognized a need to shift from a lumber based economy to a more balanced one composed of more tourism, electronics and machinery. The city has formed an Economic Development Association in order to attract new industries and encourage old ones to expand. Agreements have been made to open up areas for new development. With the unemployment rate for Grants Pass reaching 13.2% and the national at about 10%, this was a year of economic struggle for almost everyone. The plans for new additions, however, provide a bright outlook for the future. 1. Joanne Berg enjoys the benefit of her Taco Time j as she cashes her weekly pay check at the Ben Franklin bank. 2.

Six hard weeks of practice went into the contest of class pride, and when the time ran out, the seniors held the title for the third year in a row, winning 6 2. “It was a lot of fun, but a lot of hard work, too,” says junior starting quarterback Judi McCain. “We did learn a lot about football, though, so we can kill the juniors next year,” she added. When asked where the junior downfall was, Judi hinted that the refs may have been a little partial, refering to Skip Maxwell, Carlos Rodrigues, Bob Colsen, and Darin Fowler. The defensive struggle lasted the whole first half with all the offensive drives being stopped short. Then in the third quarter Wendy Wen scampered across from fifteen yards out to put the seniors up 6-0. This fired up the J.V. defense as they shot down the senior offense the rest of the way. With aggressive pass rushing, the juniors sacked the seniors in the end zone for a safety, but the time ticked off the clock as the juniors made their last attempt to score. When asking senior starter Kris McKnight what brought the seniors out ahead she jokes, “We were better,” but she then added, “We had a stronger offense.” 1 1.

This year Hodge’s High School Store would like to dedicate its ad in honor of Misters Frank Jones and Bill Evans. After 28 years of teaching at G.P.H.S., Mr. Jones is stepping “up” to the life of retirement. He’s been a teaching asset in the vocational education department, teaching wood and metal shops, mechanical drawing, and industrial skills lab during his tenure. Many changes have been seen at school by Mr. Jones, and he noted the size of the school as the biggest. He feels there are advantages to both large and smaller schools, relating to the past that this was once a three year school of 2400 students. “In a small school more kids have opportunities,” he stated. What Mr. Jones remembers most about his teaching is the quality of people, students, and teachers he’s worked with. He commented, “I’ve enjoyed many fine students and fine people I’ve known in both teaching and support staff.” After leaving he plans on traveling, saying, “My wife and I are going to see some things we’ve always wanted to but never had the time,” and working on his rental houses. For a “change of pace” Bill Evans plans on teaching chemistry at Rogue Community College for the upcoming year. The chemistry mentor and occasional math instructor has also taught for 28 years in Grants Pass. Mr. Evans sees the biggest change coming in the students as they began to ask “why” more often, something he felt is good because it shows the student is interested.
