Illinois Valley High School - Trailblazer Yearbook (Cave Junction, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1981 volume:

2 As students bearing remnants of summer breezed in for the 1980-81 school year, they greeted it with a variety of emotions ranging from enthusiasm and determination to a wistful sense of finality for some Seniors. The first Varsity Football Team in three years coupled with optimistic administrators man- aged to start the year off with a rush of enthusi- asm which resounded throughout the entire year. The continuing tide of spirit was aided by other successful sports programs and strong community support. The bands, choirs and clubs also did their share to contribute to the year as they ran their usual courses of activities and supplied entertainment and spirit. Academics also came into a new emphasis as teachers, students and counsellors worked to- gether, to expand the curriculum and meet re- quirements for graduation. In keeping with the new ideals concerning academics. Principal Roy Robertson initiated a weekly thirty minute reading period. As I.V.’s sparkling year drew to a close, stu- dents looked back on it with a sense of accom- plishment and many fond memories. So for another fantastic year here’s looking at you, I.V.! 1. I saw that! 2. Kellie Martin re- laxes. 3. Look out Kevin, Erin’s tough. 4. Go get ’urn guys! 5. Local landmark- no explaination needed! 1. A typical weekend scene. 2. A routine sight in the faculty room. 3. We want you! 4. And they say its been a dry year! 5. Jim Johnston has time for everyone. 6. Mr. Crocker imparts knowledge to student Dave Billhimer COUGARS ARE BACK L Though the 1980 Homecoming was the first in three years, students handled the gala like old pros, making it a highlight of the year. The year started off with a fantastic display of spirit and followed through as the Cougars grabbed a victory from Lakeview’s Honkers. 7-6. Queen Laurie Wallis and her court. Glynis Warner. Audrey Al- leman. and Holly Taylor presided over halftime activities. The whirlwind of fun and excite- ment resulted from a well orga- nized week, including dress-up days, games, competition, hall decoration, the traditional bonfire, and Saturday night's dance.

The prom is put on by the juniors for the seniors. It is a formal farewell dance preceded only in importance by the graduation ceremony. The juniors this year did a superb job putting on the prom. The theme was “Looks Like We Made It”, taken from a song written by Barry Manilow. The cafetorium was decorated to look like a garden party. Trees, a giant paper rainbow, a fountain and a gazebo enhanced the magical atmosphere. Reigning over the festivities was Queen Kelly Franklin and her court princesses: Cristi Newton, Laurie Sommers, Stacee Howeth and Chris Lee. Many felt the prom was one of the best ever and attendance was higher than it had been in years. The outcome of the prom showed that planning and organi- zation were attributes of the junior class. The seniors couldn’t have received a more touching goodbye... 41 ■ CLASS OF ’81 Pual Brun Pam Bell John Brown Is this for real? Lona Brummett Say What?'?

Some outstanding perform- ers were Mixed Choir, Girl’s Choir and A Cappella. All added a special touch to the programs held at Christmas and in the Spring. Mixed Choir was the begin- ning choir. Students were taught basic vocal tech- niques and trained for high- er level choirs. Second se- mester, it became a girl’s choir due to lack of male enrollment. The girls had a sweet sound and were well- received by audiences. A Cappella Choir was the concert choir for advanced students. The specialty was singing difficult music unac- companied. Advisor Jerry Moffit enjoyed this since they were able to sing any- where. As well as the school concerts, they at- tended a choir festival in Roseburg and made the an- nual pilgrimage to Ashland. This year, they ran out of time and were unable to sing in the streets as in the past. SWING SET STAGE BAND Stage Band and Swing Set are both groups of ad- vanced performers who put on several combined choir band concerts throughout the school year. The hosted this year’s district Jazz Fes- tival. Stage Band and Swing Set were active in the community too. In October, they played and sang at Sentry Market’s pumpkin carving contest. We can all look forward to next year with Stage Band and Swing Set playing and singing up a storm.

How about all the football and bas- ketball games where they helped give us a lit- tle more school spirit? Under the direction of Jeff Miller, the new band advisor, they got a lot of new ideas and expecta- tions to work towards. They did a great job at games, the Smokey, the Special Olympics Track meet and the District band festival. At the an- nual Boatnik Parade in Grants Pass, IVX showed the way to do it by bringing home first place. SWING SET STAGE BAND Swing Set. Back Row L to R-Dave Berens.

How would you react to the •dea of changing our school mascot to a buz- zard? . and.

Team members practiced hard, never letting up, and the long hours they put into their sport showed. The greatest victory came as the IV Cougars beat the Lakeview Honkers 7-6 to cap- ture the first Homecoming win in years. Needless to say, we were glad to have our Varsity team back. Thanks for all the hard work guys! 72 J.V. FOOTBALL Bottom L to R-Manager Craig Sellers, Eric Vaught, Mike Williams, Richard Lynn, Johnny Scaffin.

The 1980 Cross Country team was com- posed of hard-working runners who, as fine athletes, added to IV’s athletic repu- tation. Daily, rain or shine, members could be seen cruising down streets and trudging up hills in their average work-out of 7 miles or more. This perseverance earned the guys a third place in District and the girls a second as well as a place at state. Overall, it can be said that IV’s 1980 Cross Country team has set a fast pace for future runners. NKH 77 IVHS RALLY Fall Varsity Rally- Front Row L to R- Kim Stephens, Laurie Wallis.

INTELLIGENCE IS ESSENTIAL The 1980-81 Rally Squads were outstanding for many reasons. They supported all sports equally and devoted much of their time out- side of school. They had the first co-ed rally ever with three male yell leaders- Brent Ber- ard. Steve Reid and Andy Graham. Mrs. Taylor, with the help of Mrs. Hoback, was the rally advisor. She spent much of her time guiding the rally and accompanying them to games and related functions. Fall J.V. Rally (Right) Front- Laura Wood Middle- Laurie Goodwin, Jennifer Bryant. Back - Vera Messier Their activities, like organizing pep rallies, dance routines and cheering at games, earned them praise from the community that has given I.V. its outstanding reputation; a reputation that will undoubtedly shine in the future. It cannot be denied that the rally did contribute greatly to it. So to the 1980-81 Rally Squads, we give you a much deserved thanks! t GYMNASTICS The most valuable assets a gymnas- tics team can have are strength and grace. Combined they are priceless. Our 1980 gymnastics team, in a building year, worked for such skills. They did not compete, but held rig- orous practices. Points towards let- ters were based on effort and atten- dance. Two competitions were held at I.V. but were solely for the I.V. gymnasts on an individual basis. The meets were run as a competition would be. with scored performances based on points, and judges. For a relatively young team, the out- come was promising. So with a building year under their belts, I.V. gymnasts will send next year’s com- petitors running for their practice slippers.

While it is not as strenuous as track, for example, it requires good coordination skills and lots of hustle, all of which I.V.’s coaches demand. The Varsity volleyball, coached by Jim Johnston, met those demands and thus worked their way to state bringing home fourth place honors. The girls claimed it was hard work, but glory well worth working for and one they will continue work- ing for in the future. Said Coach Johnston. I had a lot of fun.” VOLLEYBALL 1980 Varsity Volleyball. Back Row L to R- Lisa Luerding (manager), Pat Elmer. Nancy Miller. Tanja Berglund. Loretta O’Brien. Joyce Porter.

Most players reach that plateau only once in their high school years; many others never make it. This year, the Illinois Valley Girl’s varsity basketball team advanced to the tournament for the third time in a row. and brought home the 4th place trophy. Four of the Cougars had been here twice before; two others were there last year. The experience paid off for the girls and Coach Linda Hoback as they finished the season with an outstanding 16-5 record. And despite losing starting guard Kelly Franklin and valuable bench strength in Chris Lee and Cheryl Proett to graduation, no one feels the girls will be hurting for quality players. 1st team All-conference players, Nancy Miller and Loretta O’Brien will return for the final season, as do Sallie Sintay, Tanja Berglund. Joyce Porter, and Therese Waters. Martie Mayfield gained valuable experience as a freshman this year and should bolster the Cougar efforts. Miller was selected as MVP, Sintay as most improved, and Proett as most inspirational. When the state tournament rolls around next March, expect the Cougars to be in the thick of things. A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW . It’s not much fun playing in the shadow of a great team. Ask Coach Jeff Campbell, JV girls basketball coach. Many people show up just in time to see the end of the game. For those that made it early, pleas- ant surprises were presented by the girl’s team. The Cougars lost a couple of early season games but as the season pro- gressed, vast improvements began to show. At one point, the girls had ripped off seven wins in a row, provoking coach Campbell to exclaim, “Well, when you’re hot you’re hot”. During that 7 game burst, several players emerged. Pat Elmer anchored the Cougars outside game, averaging 17 points per game during the 7 game string. Theresa Canaveri became the inside attack, using a soft, left-handed turn around jumper to befuddle oppo- nents. Elmer was voted team MVP and Canaveri was the obvious choice for most improved. a GIRLS BASKETBALL Girls Varsity Basketball. Front Row L to R-Martie Mayfield. Chris Lee, Sallie Sintay.

A ROLLER COASTER SEASON The IV varsity basketball season resembled a rollercoaster-lots of ups and downs. The ups: defeating Lassen in the opening game of the season; whipping Taft to win the Nestucca Tournament, and upsetting the eighth ranked Bruins, 71-68. The downs; losing to St. Mary’s in the IV Tournament to finish second and losing a three- point heart-breaker to Skyline Conference second place finisher Henley. Overall, the Cougars were 12-10, but a 4-6 record in Skyline Conference kept IV out of the Play-offs. A young team, the Cougars started the season with only three players with varsity experience and five seniors. After this year’s winning season, the future looks bright with returnees Jeff Nichols, IV’s unanimous All-Conference pick, and starters Frank Pinios and Neal Dierkes. V i it 19-3 AGAIN! A 19-3 record for two seasons in a row is nothing to sneeze at. This is just what the IV Boy’s JV basketball team has accom- plished. Last year’s 19-3 record was matched by a nearly completely different team. With three of the JV starters pulled up to Varsity, coach Jay Monier was able to develop some of the other players who will undoubtedly become valuable assets to the varsity team in the years to come. 9 IV WRESTLING BEYOND MACHO The year’s wrestling season was extremely successful con- sidering the youth of the team. Not only were they young, having no seniors, but they did not have a full team, forfeiting 18 points a match. Nonetheless, they managed a 10-12 record, and victory at the Lakeview tournament as well as having a number of other impressive showings. Kelly Gibbons, Matt Miller, Troy Pino and Bob Brousseau finished the season with more than a 70% win-loss record, and the latter three advanced to the State Tournament. This year’s success can be attributed to the dedication of our wrestlers as well as the fine coaching provided by Wes Brown and assistant coach Jay Miller. Next year many of the wrestlers will reach their peak as seniors and we’re looking for an even better showing from a larger, more experienced team. I.V. Wrestling Team. Front Row L to R- Jason Kelly.

The Illinois Valley boy’s varsity baseball team had a good year in 1981. but fell just short of a play-off berth in the last week of the season. Even though the number of players on the team dwindled toward the end of the season, the Cougars boasted a 7-9 Sky- line Conference record, three games out of first place and one victory from a play-off spot. Although the Cougars are losing first-team All-Conference players Ron Hults and Jim Payne. A good group returns, including Honorable Mention Players Neal Dierkes and Bill Coultas. It turned out to be a learning exper- ience for the JV Boys this year as they went through the season without a win. Improvements were noted later in the season, as the Cougars lost some very close ball games. With a little more experience, these players should help the varsity in later years.

The Illinois Valley boys’ track team had sur- prising success in 1981. Although Larry Ma- son in the javelin was the only State qualifier, there were others who contributed greatly during the season. Cory Polloreno (shot, dis- cus), Dave Berens (110 300m hurdles), Greg Rising (1500 3000m) and Dan Wallis (long jump) were consistent scorers during the season, and the 1600m relay team of Polloreno, Berens. Wallis, and Jeff Stillwa- gon finished third at District. The girls track team also did well in 1981. The 400m relay team of Stephanie Wargin, Patti Sloan, Pris- cilla Gillespie, and Darla Gianotti placed first at District, and Wargin also qualified for state in the 200 400. Fine efforts by Tammy Fincher and Sherrie Stocking (1500 3000m) and Glynis Warner (800m) made the Cougars tough opponents this year, and next season should see the girls still pro- gressing.

The girls were 5-5 in North- ern Division play and were in the race for the play-off spot most of the season. The Cougars were young, with only one senior, Kelly Franklin. Franklin batted .393 with three doubles and her loss will be felt. But with girls like freshman Jennifer Dunvan, who hit .507 with 15 extra best hits in 1981, the girls should continue to improve for the first time ever, a JV softball team was fielded, and under coach Linda Hoback. put together an exciting season. All of their games were close, and experience will make the girls even better. A GLANCE AT ADMINISTRATION John Ruskin once said, “The question is not what a man can scorn, or disparage, or find fault with, but what he can love, and value, and appreciate. So often stu- dents find themselves knocking the teachers, making belittling remarks about the classes they take, and gen- erally finding fault with the school. It is so easy to do. One can find many things wrong at a school if that is what one is looking for. But. what is the payoff of always looking for bad things? Generally it is the forming of negative habits in everything one does. I maintain the habit of looking on the best side of every event is worth more than a million dollars a year. No matter what adversity befalls us. we ought to ask ourselves.. .How can we turn it into good? The positive gains from a well- rounded high school education overshadow any nega- tive aspect of a school. One’s education is something to be valued and appreciated, and the love of learning can bring about indescribable joy. Try it; you’ll like it! I know I am an optimist. But, when I think about it.. Why be anything else? Vice Principal Bob Donaldson on a typical day. swamped by paperwork. Attendance Officer Gary Luerding has a smile for one and all. After a fifteen year career with the Josephine County School District. Superintendent Lee Baldwin (at Right) will retire December 31, 1981.

Thanks to several custodians who work around the clock, it isn’t necessary. The seven custodians under the direction of Ben Wash- burn, manage to keep the halls, locker rooms and cafetorium free of debris. A custodian’s job is not an easy one. Early morning hours and long afternoon clean-up sessions are all aprt of the everyday routine. In spite of the difficul- ties, the custodians are always ready to help with just about anything. From un-openable lockers to listen- ing to gripes or complaints, they are always willing to help.

Baggie pants come with or without pockets, a mini- mum of three pleats in front, full through the thighs and tight through the ankles. Ranging from denim to cot- ton, they were one of the hottest fash- ions to hit IV this year. With the punk rock group Devo and Dale Buckendahl, came “Devo” glass- es. These were a pair of sunglasses “classically styled over-sized, skinny, dark, green, red, worn upside down or any variation one could think of. Devo glasses came in fast and faded just as a true fad does; the idea “be the stran- gest you can”. The “Preppie” look is a fashion raging the nation like fire. Some of the “Prep- pie” ideas seen around I.V. are boat shoes (thin soled leather moccasins) and plain skirts in the wildest range of styles from pencil-slim with skinny muted stripes, to fully pleated with bright, bold slashes. Sweaters, true classics, debuted in an- gora softness and on the opposite end of the spectrum bulky ski sweaters, never had such a rainbow of colors and modes been available. The male population fell into the style with ease and attractiveness teaming their shirts and sweaters. Lace collars were first introduced around 1979 but never really caught until the '80-81 school year. They then became more available already at- tached to shirts and even some sweat- ers. They added an appeal of inno- cence and girlishness and were appre- ciated for their versatility. CXC61 'T t 5! 4' dress shop 221 S.E.

The gymnastics teams used the french braid at their meets and it could be said that this was the birth of the fad at IVHS. Likewise the cross country and volleyball teams found it useful for practices, races, and games. Almost overnight, girls began wearing them during school, accentuating them prettily with combs, ribbons, and flowers. French braiding can be done in 5 to 15 minutes. Sections of hair are taken from top and bottom sides of the head with the braids forming in the center as sections are added. One winds up with two pigtails which could be pinned up or left hanging. Anyway, it “braids up” nicely at I.V. THE BODI SHOPPE 224 S. W. Street Grants Pass, Ore. Fashionable Clothing for the young woman 107 Northwest Sports COMPLETING MOVIE “BEING THERE” 225 N.E. Hillcrest Grants Pass, Or. 97526 476-0455 - W In 1980, President Carter's propos- al to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow proved to be one of the most controversial is- sues of the year. Carter demanded a Russian withdrawal from Af- ghanistan by February 20, 1980, as a condition for U.S. participation in the Moscow games. Many athletes were hostile to- wards the proposal. Others had faith in the government's decision. President Carter appealed to the U.S. Olympic Committee. After much deliberation, the committee decided to back Carter. All through January the tension con- tinued while Russia's troops re- mained in Afghanistan. Russia soon felt the strain. She had spent three billion dollars and ten years preparing for the honor and prestige of hosting the games. A non-protest of Russia's heinous actions would have marked ap- proval of her agression. Carter's deadline arrived and Russian troops still occupied Afghanistan. The U.S. and other supporting na- tions stayed home, and Misha, the Russian mascot bear for the Mos- cow Olympics, ended up in the U.S. garbage cans. The summer games passed with minimal recognition. More than thirty world records were set and Russia won as was expected. There was alleged cheating by Russian officials. Sixteen of the participating nations refused to march or show their flags. Troops were never withdrawn from Afghanistan and the Russians in- sist the boycott failed. But that re- mains to be seen.

IV WINS % USED RECORDS TAPES Slide Show The magic of photography has delight- ed millions. And music of some kind appeals to nearly everybody. With these facts in mind, the Trailblazer Staff incorporated the two arts, pro- ducing a slide show which was the nu- cleus of the 1980-81 yearbook sales campaign. The photographical aspect of the dis- play proved to be time consuming for yearbook artists. In total, over 300 slides were taken, while only 150 were actually used in the show. Variety was an important item, as the photogra- phers took slides of various people and events to depict the atmosphere at I.V.H.S. this year. After sorting and selecting slides to be used, the staff was concerned with the sequence in which they would appear. Careful or- dering was essential before setting the slides to music. Music was selected for each slide or group of slides. Exact time measurements insured proper in- tervals between song changes. Regu- lating the showing time of each slide to coincide with appropriate words in the songs produced a creative flair throughout the entire show. A great deal of time was spent produc- ing this portion of the campaign. Al- though pleased with the response from students and faculty this year, the staff has plans for an improved slide show in the future.

Scientists claim that past studies of Saturn were not as successful as the Voyager’s mission. The Voyager I discov- ered that Saturn has not six rings around its circumference but as many as a thousand, if not more! It was also discov- ered that Saturn’s moons (composed almost entirely of ice) have two more companions, bringing the total of its moons to 15. The Voyager I continued its description with the com- positions of the atmosphere, the planet itself, and its rings and moons. Everyone involved with the Voyagers journey was elated and felt a strong sense of accomplishment. President Carter was so pleased with the results of Voyager I that forty mil- lion dollars have been budgeted for the 1982 Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar Mission.

St. Helens of the Southern Washington Cas- cade Range awakened in early 1980 to be the only active volcano in the continental United States. She was discovered to be coming out of her dormancy on March 20, 1980, when a series of small earthquakes were recorded within her general domain. These tremors were believed to be earthquakes and not immediately linked to the volcano. As research progressed, she was discovered to be alive after a 123 year slumber. A week later, on March 27, she sent out serious warnings and followed up with her first minor eruption on March 28. Police and government workers set about evacuating the area, naming it “The Red Zone1’. The road blocks set up were unsuccessful however, since the area was easily accessible due to several logging roads. Despite many warnings from officials, as well as St. Helens herself, many people still did not realize the danger of the situation. On May 18, 1980, an eruption wiped out any last doubts as to the danger of Mt. St. Helens. This deadly force of nature left 62 people dead or missing and countless others injured. One could almost suspect a supernatural force as the volcano spouted 1.5 cubic miles of rock and ash in her majectic fury. Occurring at the beginning of the tourist season, this must be given as the reason for the high death toll. The picturesque mountain, noted for its asymmetry, was soon to be no longer. The once intimidating 9,677 feet was now reduced to 8,377 feet, after a force 500 times that of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. As Mt. St. Helens continues her activity one fears her in- credulous power and yet one cannot help but admire her devastating glory, as will be done for centuries to come. ivm 1 lVI 263 S.E. Rouge River Highway Grants Pass, Oregon 97526 479-0491 116 CNEWS PROJECTI Election 80 The 1980 Presidential Elections brought a year of provocative cam- paigning, heated debate and unpre- dictability. The three major candi- dates, President and peanut farmer Jimmy Carter, Ex-movie actor Ronald Reagan and Illinois Congressman, John Anderson. Although Carter originally declined Reagan’s invitation to a debate, he ac- cepted in October as a last minute campaign tactic. Issues debated were the Equal Rights Amendment, the draft for women, military defense and build- up, along with social welfare programs including social security and federally funded abortions. Carter accused Rea- gan of being overly militaristic while Reagan claimed that Carter’s four year economic record had proven him in- competent. At the end of the great “Carter vs Rea- gan debate, Americans were given the opportunity to phone in and, for a small fee, cast a vote as to who won the debate. According to these phone polls, Reagan was the winner. In News- week magazine, however, when five well-respected men were asked their opinions as to who won the debate there was no clear winner as two men voted for Reagan, two for Carter and one for both in a tie. All in all, the debate gave no clue as to who was to be the likely winner of the 1980 Presidential Election. As it turned out, the election was over in a matter of hours. In the early evening of No- vember 4, 1980, even before the West coast polls had closed, President Jim- my Carter gave his conceding speech, acknowledging Ronald Reagan as the new President of the United States. Carter graciously pledged his support in the transaction of power. It was a close election year, right up to Novem- ber 4, 1980, election day and the first anniversary of the Iranian Hostage captivity. The hostages didn't even get to vote in the election.

O’BRIEN, OREGON 97534 PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES WIL BE EXTINCT BY THE YEAR 2000..TANJA BERGLUND MAKES ALL-STATE VOI RELEASED On Sunday, November 4, 1979, several Iranain students seized the American Embassy in Iran and took 60 Americans hostage. Thus began a vigil that was to last 444 days. In the name of the Ayatollah Khomeini these students demanded the return of the Shah of Iran who had come to Manhatten, New York in late October seeking political asylum and medical attention. He was dying of cancer and plagued by other illness. Since the U.S. flatly refused to return the Shah, a long stale-mate en- sued. Finally January re-opened negotiations. Americans waited anxiously wondering if Carter would get the hostages free before president-elect Reagan was sworn in. On January 20, 1981, it was announced in the middle of the inauguration that the hostages were on their way home. They had a short stay in Frankfurt where they underwent medical exams and psychological tests and then came home to a heros’ welcome. Although the ordeal was long and tedious for the hostages and their loved ones, it was comforting to know that they were home at last. 103 SOUTH KERBY AVENUE • CAVE JUNCTION.

Three others were also injured. Almost one month later, an attempt was made on the life of Pope John Paul II while greeting the crowds in the Vatican. The world was stunned. “It was like shooting God!” stated a bewildered witness. President Reagan was the victim of a middle-class “loner”, John Hinckley, Jr., who, according to police reports was “acting out a movie fantasy.” The .22 caliber revolver, hand gun variety, was loaded with devastator bullets, intended to fragment on impact. Pope John Paul had a more frightening and serious experience with Turkist terrorist Mehmet Ali Acga weilding a Browning 9 mm semi- automatic pistol. He accused the Pope of being “the masked leader of the Crusades.” Fortunately, all victims survived, but the incidents brought to light some unnerving ques- tions. Throughout the world, the attempt on the Presi- dent’s life was greeted with shock and loud state- ments of rampant violence in American Society. The US was once again faced with the recuring question of gun control. A stunned American public impa- tiently awaiting news of the president’s condition seemed to search its souls for an answer to the question: Why has it happened again?

PH. 592-3855 GAMES SPACE SHUTTLE. COLUMBIA For the second time that mid-April week, nearly half a million people were gathered at Cape Canaveral. Their purpose? America’s first space shuttle, Columbia, was to be launched. The first attempt, a few days earlier had been cancelled due to problems with the shuttle’s computer system. The second time there were no disappointments. At 7:39 East- ern time, under a clear blue sky, Columbia took its first non- test flight. The launch pad and tower were engulfed in flames as the shuttle’s two solid fuel booster rockets joined the orbit- er’s own liquid oxygen hydrogen fueled rockets in lift off, with approximately 30,800,000 Newtons of thrust. As the cheering crowds watched, one feels certain that they must have had a great feeling of awe and a renewed faith in the space program. Later, after reaching the proper height, the orbiters two boost- ers disengaged and splashed down in the ocean for recovery and reuse. Just before reaching the orbital position, the exter- nal fuel tank attached to the orbiter at lift off was disengaged. The space shuttle is an orbiting vehicle with a large payload area, capable of re-entering Earth’s atmosphere and landing like a conventional aircraft, to be reused. The shuttle system consists of two solid rocket boosters flanking the shuttle, the external fuel tank and the shuttle itself. It is 184.2 feet long, 76.6 feet high and weighs 4493.3 K lbs. Being re-usable, the shuttle is more economical than conven- tional space craft. The orbiter can carry up to 65 K lbs. into space. Reaching Mach speeds, it must be able to withstand extreme temperatures from the friction of re-entry. The orbiter’s thermal protection system had to be specially designed. The shut- tle’s skin, applied to it’s skeletal frame consists mainly of aluminum and graphite epoxy. Over this was added a layer of specially coated No- max felt and a layer of purified silica tiles, glazed with borosilicate glass. The layer sheds 95% of the heat encountered while the internal tile absorbs the remaining 5%. Plans for the shuttle range from satellite deployment to fer- rying construction material for proposed and zero gravity laboratories. The shuttle will be a base to our future space exploration, leading us to newer and bigger frontiers. The unknown awaits us.

However, we feel that all adver- tisers in this year's Trailblazer are friendly, cooperative, and very supportive, not only of this yearbook, but of education as a whole in our community. We hope that through this yearbook, we have reflected that support in its best light. We wish to take this space to express our deep gratitude to you, the businesses of Illinois Valley and Josephine County. Without your involvement, the publication of this year's Trailblazer would not have been possible. 1981 Trailblazer Staff CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF S1, GOODBYE AND GOOO LUCKI DON'T MISS OUT. BUY YOUR 19S1-S2 TRAILBLAZER NOW Photography can make or break a yearbook. This year, it has “made” ours. Photographers put in many hours in the darkroom after school and each page is a credit to their dedication. Staff photographers Robyn Hauser and Mike Batie were undoubtedly our biggest photography assets. Robyn would often disappear into the darkroom for days on end. She would re-appear. slightly paler and round-eyed, after the required prints were completed. In spite of major tran- sporation problems, she managed to make it to any event we needed pictures of. Mike also put in many hours. His presence at any and every sporting event was so regular, he seemed to become a fixture of the courts or fields. He maintained negative files for the staff use. In spite of their obvious talent. Mike and Robyn would have gone crazy if they hadn’t had help from others on the Staff. Ray Elmer was a tremendous help with sports section photos and kept us laughing with his darkroom pranks. Pat Elmer’s service pulled the class section over many a rough spot. Anna Crainie did her share in the ads section. Todd Green leant a helping hand to one and all. From clubs to sports, he could be counted on to help in a bind. The 1980-81 Trailblazer Staff extends heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of our photographers. Keep up the great work people! And for once... Here’s looking at you!!!!!! 136 iky w V tkJa A GRADUATION 1981 The last week of school for the seniors. The air is tense with anticipation of graduation. As sign-out sheets are ex- changed for neatly folded caps and gowns, a sudden realization of the meaning of graduation is reached. One ceremony will close the door on child- hood and open a new exciting one to the adult world. A clear blue sky prevails on June third as the graduates to be participate in the final graduation practice. The next time they walk under the arches will be dur- ing the ceremony. Donning the caps and gowns, graduates stare at reflections in the mirror unable to believe it is finally happening. As the first strains of “Pomp and Circum- stance” reach their ears, they know that the moment has arrived. Crowds of friends and relatives have gathered to wish them well. Valedictorian Delia Davison, Salutatorian Patty Johann, Lori Rathburn and Bob Hickerson speak to those gathered of the hopes, fears and ambitions of their class. Then begins the list of names. Each person awaits the moment their name will be called. Diplomas are received. Amid thunder- ous applause, blessings and wishes for their future, the class of 1981 ascends the platform as certified adults.

No matter how hard we try to show our appreciation, it will never match the love you have given us. Thank you for all those times you were there for the Track and Cross Country teams. Whether it was to offer your shoulder to cry on, or to satisfy the parched lips of thirsty runners with orange juice and for the kind words of comfort to ease the pain of defeat. Thanks from the students for being there to listen to their problems and to eagerly give a gleaming smile. For all this and much more, we want to say thanks and we love you. We wish upon you all the happiness of the world and the blessings of God. 1980-81 Trailblazer Staff and IVHS Students 142 Junior Tanja Berglund was named to the First Team in the A A State Volley- ball Tournament.
