Special Olympics Bowling Becomes National Endeavor Few athletes garner honors on the state level, let alone reaching national heights, but Vince Mikolavich has attained both with practice and dedication. 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

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. Even then, before the concert was over, the officers were brainstorming for the next big event.
