Back to the familiar sounds of locker doors slamming and pens scratching on paper. Lectures, Tests, and Hall Passes. Games, Pep Assemblies, and Sore Throats. The 82-83 school year at Illinois Valley High School started off with a bang. The first pep assembly of the year showed the incredible amount of spirit that was to last until the first day of summer. Both Fall and Winter Rally did a great job of keep- ing school spirit sky high with their cheers, yell com- petitions, and bright smiles. When it comes right down to it — the main pur- pose of sports, choirs, band, and clubs is to show others just how great the Cougars are. In each and every classroom, this feeling of superiority prevailed. It has been the most energetic and spirit-filled year ever seen in the classes, fields, and courts of l.V. As the year came to a close, all students looked back with a sense of pride. The Seniors began preparing for graduation and the years ahead. The rest of the students readied themselves for summer jobs or just three months of relaxation. To the Seniors we wish the best of everything. We will miss you. Good Luck Class of 83!

Amidst the confusion throughout Spirit Week, many smiling faces were seen decorating hails, adding final touches to their dress-up day costumes, or frantically making last minute preparations on floats. Class competitions consisted of several different events in which the freshmen and seniors were victorious over sophomores and juniors. These were the overall results of Spirit Week: Floats — Freshmen; Dress-up Day — Seniors; Red and White Day — Juniors and Seniors tied Hall Decorations — Freshmen. The seniors were the overall champions of the class competitions. Two sports activities helped to conclude Spirit Week; a vic- torious Varsity Volleyball game and a disillusioning Homecoming football game. Although some were dispirited because of the loss to Phoenix of 32 to 0, Varsity Volleyball displayed their skill with a victory over Rogue River. Jaime Dockwiller reigned Homecoming Queen and was crown- ed at halftime with her princesses; Chantal Koerschgen, Leslie Dockwiller, and Deana Smith. The band led the Homecoming Parade with finesse on the day of the Homecoming game; the princesses and class floats followed in procession. The parade proved to be successful, with many spectators lining the streets. Following the parade, the cheerleaders pepped up” the student body with the traditional pep assembly at Dairy Queen. The final event was a semi-formal dance that ended Spirit Week of 1982-83. The dance took place in the cafetorium, where students danced the night away until midnight. Spirit Week is a tradition that unifies the student body through involvement in athletics, academics, and other various activities. IV’s spirit was strengthened through Spirit Week, and the students were brought together for their true homecoming. The leader of the band. Portia Switzer The Junior Bonfire! Tracy. Don. Andy. Shawn.

FRESHMEN The class of ’86 is one of the more privileged freshman class in the history of I.V.H.S., as it got away without having to suffer through the traditional “freshman initiation.” Although many of the newcomers to I.V. didn’t have to walk across the stage, carry a tray, push a penny, or any other degrading acts; some of them were exposed to this kind of treatment, in good humor. This year’s freshman will be remembered for winning the award for best float during homecoming week and it is also recognized for its outstanding athletes and academics.

Even though the sophomore class was smaller in size than the other classes, they proved that they had the spirit to make up for it more than once. The night of the bonfire during spirit week, they outpulled the Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen. The last day of spirit week, Friday, there was pep assembly and some relay races. Sophomores won every race! Sophomores were not lacking academic achievers either. Student Juanita Burdette got first in the state spelling finals. In the mathematical state finals David Meads, also placed well. One agriculture student Arch McHie, did an excellent job too. A great number of Sophomores were also very sports-minded. In volleyball Lynn Humbard received Most Valuable player award for her achievements. Having already received a letter their Freshman year, Mike Scott and Mark Miller returned to the wrestling team again as Sophomores. John Sloan worked hard for his letter in cross-country and Varsity Boys Basketball team. Pattie Nicholson received a letter her Freshman year while pitching for Varsity softball and played J.V. Basketball for IV. The class of 85 officers were president John Sloan, Tina Turiace, Secretary Larissa Stewart, and representative Gilly Hanner.

The next event the Juniors planned was the Morp Dance. This dance is everything the Prom is, but backwards. Instead of a guy taking a girl, a girl takes a guy. instead of a guy taking a girl out to dinner, a girl takes a guy out to breakfast. The Cafetorium is decorated not with nice decorations, but with trash and debris. The Juniors liked this idea and hope younger students will keep it in mind for a future tradition. The next big event was the Prom itself. The Juniors have worked hard to prepare, in their opi- nion, the best Program ever. They had high expecta- tions and were not disappointed. The Juniors looked forward to taking the respon- sibilities of the Seniors before them and hoped they would do as good a job.

The following are some of their memories. Tammy Tibbs: My first prom; Mike Casas: Eric Hoover’s “yo’ mamma,”; Maria Davis: Radical cheerleading; Tammy Fincher: The special times Debbie Thornton and I shared; Leslie Dockwiller: I’ll never forget January 20, 1983; Jaime Dockwiller: I’ll never forget January 20, 1983 either; Monica Sorensen: Getting in a fight with Becky Sommers; Julie Graham: My friendship with Dee Dee Bregar and the two years with Jeff Nichols; Karri Elroy: Meeting Bill Coultas and moving up here; Tammy Haynie: The fun as a Freshman and Sophomore and the pressures of being a Senior; Shanon Kasiah: Rogue River basketball game; Tim Davis: Mike Kiene’s party; Kent Merrill Steve Holthus’ terrible jokes; Steve Bennett: Sports; Kelly Monroe Cheerleading with my friends and going to State; Adam Thompson Those orange walls . . . Graduation approached and the Seniors were on their way out into the world. As the Seniors go to college or get jobs, they’ll have all the education from High School to help them on their way. High School leaves a lasting impression on people; for some it’s bad, but for most it’s good. The High School years, for most, are those to remember, of friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, sports, dances, and all those wild parties. Looking: Mike Casas and Stephanie Wargin.

D.E.C.A DECA DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) held many activities during the year. They operated the student store in order to raise enough money to go to state. State is where students from the western part of Oregon go to Portland to compete in contests. Some of these com- petitions are: apparel and accessories, the selling of fashions, and Food marketing. For many students this is a great experience. Some of the activities that DECA was involved in are: The Blackberry Festival, Computer Trade Show. Dances. Halloween Trick or Treat Bags, and a Carnation Sale for Good-Bye Seniors. DECA promotes understanding and appreciation for the responsibilities of citizenship in our free, competitive enterprise system. DECA FIRST ROW: Cheri Frost. Cindy Frost. Robin Mayfield.

DECA Junior DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), was developed at I.V. to interest and inform Freshmen business students about the marketing program. Students enrolled into Introduction to Business the first semester are eligible for membership and many remain in the club for the entire year. Club members discuss general business topics, participate in fund raising activities, and go on field trips. This year Junior DECA attended the computer trade show in Medford. They also held a “current” fund raiser. Junior DECA helps students to prepare to go to State the next year when they are in DECA. 64 JR. DECA FRONT ROW: Tony Avalon, Juanita Burdette, Shannon Haynes.

COPY CLUB Copy Club operates a typing, filing and duplicating service second period during the office procedures class. Students work for teachers without charge, but fellow classmates are charged .35 cents per typed page. Students get actual employment experience which will be so valuable to those entering the job market later on. MATHLETES 12 students represents IVHS at 5 meets during the year. Those meets draw upon the top math talent from AA and AAA schools from Riddle to Klamath Falls. I V. frequently leads the AA pack and at times has the top scoring con- testants of an entire meet! The con- testants are given a variety of awards and recommendations for scholarships. We’re proud of our Mathletes. They show that education can be both rewarding and fun. MATHLETES ROW 1 Ken Meads.

Drama Club has submerged itself in a new play written by Neil Simon, author of “The Odd Couple,” “Barefoot in the Park,” and many other Broadway hits. Simon’s latest crea- tion is entitled “Fools.” It takes place in the late 1800’s, in a tiny village in the Ukraine. The town suffers from a 200 year old curse that has left all its inhabitants totally without logic and thought. A new teacher, played by Todd Green, arrives in the village anticipating to teach classical literature, astronomy, Greek, and Latin. To his surprise, he finds himself tutoring the girl of his dreams, played by Debbie Thornton, how to add one and one. If he can educate her the curse will be broken and all the town folk will become enlightened. Debbie’s parents are played by Tyrone Burgland (a doctor who one day hopes to attend medical school), and Karen McLennan (who has difficulty learn- ing to open doors). “Something, Something” Snetsky is portrayed by Larissa Stewart. She can neither remember her name, nor find her sheep. The butcher who fears he is stupid even without the curse, is Jeff Hammer. Mose Walstrom of Lorna Byrne is the postman who randomly hands out mail to anyone who wants it. Sonya Hart plays the vendor who sells flowers as fish because the fishermen had a bad day. The seventy-nine year old town magistrate in charge of law and order is creatively depicted by Maia Davis, while the evil Count Gregor (who has everyone con- vinced he causes rain) is Mike Tardy. The play is very humorous, fast-paced, and makes potent statements regarding power, education, and love. The Drama Club is supported by its box office profits, as well as fund raisers and product sales. Officers for 1982-1983 are: President Asst. Director — Maia Davis Vice President — Portia Switzer Secretary — Debbie Thornton Treasurer — Dawn Williams Student Council Rep. — Karen McLennan Advisor Director — Rick Ferris DRAMA — BOTTOM TO TOP: Anita Hoskins.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 66 HONOR SOCIETY — Shane Harms, Martie Mayfield, James Ford, Portia Switzer. Rick Brood, Bob De Vyldere, Alicia Moore, Karen McLennan, Brant Rigby, Melissa Drakeford, Sheila Camp- bell, Dave Billhimer, Rene Davison, Grace Holt, (advisor) — Kathy O’Neil. The main function of the organization is to provide recognition to those students who excel in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. The main criteria for being considered for membership is grade point average. A student must have at least a 3.4 grade point average or better to become a member of the society, as recommended by the national organization. The group is mainly service oriented. Some of the activities they have par- ticipated in are a Big Brother Big Sister Day with Evergreen students, a Jog-A Thon for Scholarships, and bringing Valentine cookies to senior citizens. In January, the group had a potluck with other National Honor Society groups in the area. A formal induction ceremony was held in the spring to honor new members.

STUDENT COUNCIL AND SKI CLUB STUDENT COUNCIL Everything the school does that contributes to the learning, growth, and development of the student must be classified as part of the curriculum. The student council plays a vital part in the growth and development of our school. It must furnish every student the opportunity to learn to do, and to practice doing those things that a good citizen, scholar, leader, and follower must do. The student council must be concerned with the world, with vocational education, with projects that are meaningful in themselves to the present student body under the particular cir- cumstances of the school. Before a student council can have any success it must have definite purposes for existing and its members, the student body, the faculty and administration, parents and other community members must be aware of those purposes. Objectives found in almost every school. These basic objectives include: To provide learning experiences for members of the school community. To develop attitudes toward good citizenship, leadership, scholar- ship, human values, and service. To assist in school management. To provide a training ground for developing student leadership. To further positive human relationships within the school community. The effectiveness of the council is very related to the effec- tiveness of its student members’ behavior; to their maturity in responding to the opportunities of responsibility. The student council is no longer just a dance-giving, service organization playing at student government. The Illinois Valley High School Student Council has been fairly active in not only school activities but, community activities as well; such as the Blackberry Festival, Labor Day, Red Cross Blood Drive, and Kiwanis canned food drive. Our council has attended various meetings in Grants Pass and in Phoenix related to school council problems and activities. There are various other meetings set for future dates and places in which members of our council are going to attend. The school activities are too numerous to list as some may be forgotten (not listed) and thereby taking some recognition away from hard working people. SKI CLUB — ROW 1: Lisa Sims.

SKI CLUB Ski Club invites all students to come to the ski slopes and enjoy the sport of ski- ing with them. Skiing is a very expensive sport for most students due to the distances involved, equipment rentals and chair-lift expenses. For that reason the club raises money by holding dances and uses the proceeds to defray trip costs. Using club finances, a student usually only needs $10.00-$15.00 for a 2 day trip. On one trip, 23 of the 32 students had never been skiing before and all but one learned to ski by the end of the day. Skiing is a great source of recreation and exercise. It keeps you in shape and adds color to your cheeks. Y.I.C.A. AND F.F.A VICA Vica is not only mechanics. The Voca- tional Industrial Clubs of America is also in many other areas, such as metal shop, drafting, carpentry, commercial food trade, appliances, electrical products, photography, and of course, auto mechanics. Automotive is a branch that I.V.H.S. is in. Vica’s fund raisers are very much different than any other club or group. Other groups may have bake sales or wood cuts, but Vica raises money by fixing things. For instance, a person’s car will be running rough, so they bring their car in and fix it. Vica charges for labor just like a garage would, but members get valuable experience. Vica is very high in standards for leadership. Although they don’t stress parliamentary procedure as much as FFA, they do study it and use it at meetings. This year Vica had a very good set of officers: As president, Mike Tiriace; vice-president, James Pruner; secretary Mark Camp; treasurer Tim Davis; reporter Mike Mor- dock, and Lloyd Underwood as parliamentarian. Vica’s activities this year have been very competitive. In October, the six of- ficers went to the Inn of the 7th Mountain for a local Officers Workshop. It proved to be fun and very informative. The next activity was in April. It was the Skill Olympics. This is a statewide competi- tion, and if you get first place in your area, you go straight to the Vocational Skill Olympics. All in all Vica is a very good club. You can learn a lot and have fun doing it. F.F.A. F.F.A. is an organization for students from freshmen to seniors. Members par- ticipate in many different fields. Many people think that F.F.A. only involves raising and showing animals. But F.F.A. is more than that. Members compete in public speaking, soils, horticulture, and livestock judging. F.F.A. also includes building barns, driving tractors and keep- ing record books. Students learn how to compete with other schools and learn good sportsmanship. F.F.A. members sponsored a Valentine’s Dance which was probably one of the better dances this year. F.F.A. also was the proud owner of a healthy litter of ten baby pigs, one of which was raffled off as a weaner pig. This year, Illinois Valley F.F.A. attended Convention, Pacific International, and Shows at fairs. VICA — ROW 1: Gary Wylie, Eric Vaught, Mike Turiace.

SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has recently chang- ed both advisors and names. Previously called “APPE, it is now known as “OLE.” Ms. Hugle has replaced greatly missed, Mr. Johnston. “OLE,” which stands for “Organiza- cion Loco delaEscuela,” is still just as ac- tive as it was last year. This year’s ac- tivities include candy cane sales at Christmas, free ice cream for honor students, hot chocolate sales during Homecoming Week at the bonfire, the annual canned food drive, and more. The club officers are: Melissa Drakeford, President; Kim Smith, Secretary; and Jeff Hammer, Treasurer. Other members are Steve Adams, Carrie Barty, Tina Canady, Katrina Davis, Jaime Dockwiller, and Bobby Little. OLE, which prides itself on being rather crazy, enjoys taking on activities never before tried at IVHS. These are not always successful, but OLE likes to think of them as learning experiences. Since that is the spirit of the club, it is not limited to tradition. Many activities such as the canned food drive are permanent. Spanish Club also plans to continue sell- ing candy canes each year. The Spanish Club would like to impart a little of the Spanish culture into IV. It also wants to provide leadership ex- perience for all its members. Its only goals are not to make money, although many projects are aimed at doing so, but more importantly, to make the school have more to offer. If the Spanish Club is successful in of- fering a variety of well-planned services, it will be satisfied. It is an adventurous club, usually planning some untried pro- ject, expecting, but not depending, on its success. 1983 brought a new group activity to I.V. Many girls got together in hopes of forming a dance team and with deter- mination, were successful. Although Dance Team only performed at a few games, the time, effort, and enthusiasm spent practicing was unlimited. Bakes sales, cake raffles, and many other fund raisers were a big part of Dance Team’s performance. They used their time wisely, practicing, raising money for uniforms, and just better understanding the purpose of a Dance Team. Sooner than expected. Dance Team was asked to do many small perfor- mances for Swing Set, Acting, and a few others on the side. A big thank you is given from the team to the two advisors making Dance Team possible. Ms. Malia Wood and Tresa Bleser. “They really made it wor- thwhile,” replied the Dance Team members. Member of Dance Team are: Captain, Deana Smith; Patti Miller, Samantha Hawkins, Kendra Stone, Sheryl Groth, Adrianna Bleser, Susan Watts, Portia Switzer, Bobby Jo Wood. These girls not only dance for the crowds and teams; they dance for their own enjoyment. SPANISH CLUB — ROW 1: Katrina Davis. Kim Smith. Jaime Dockwiller. ROW 2: Steve Adams. Tina Canady.

This year’s choir could be found singing “Boogie Birthdays” to fellow students in class, Christmas carols in the Diary Queen, Gregorian Chant in the halls, and madrigals to the swans in Lithia Park. The singing Birthday Grams were a money-raising project to help defer traveling costs. Many members of this year’s A Cappella Choir were also members in Concert Choir or Swing Set.

CONCERT CHOIR Concert Choir has traditionally been a training class in the basics of vocal music. Many singers go on the A Cappella Choir and Swing Set. This year’s Concert Choir combin- ed the building of a strong future choral program with many suc- cessful performances. Several outstanding soloists have had an opportunity to sing in concert situa- tions. A highlight of the year was a spring trip to the local elementary and pre-schools. The future looks bright for the 1VHS choirs based on ths year’s Concert Choir. CONCERT CHOIR — FIRST ROW: Denise Denlis, Corinthia Camp. Doug Edwards Chris Conner. Angie Hackstock. Juanita Burdette.

The group suc- cessfully met with the challenge of a rebuilding year with only 4 members out of 14 having previous Swing Set experience. The choir learned many types of choral literature — jazz for festival competition, current, rock songs for solo performances and old standards for local and concert performances. This year’s members gained valuable experience on stage and Sw- ing Set 83-84 should result in an even more successful group. SWING SET AND STAGE BAND SWING SET ROW 1: Beth Savage. Deana Smith.

Stage Band spent time learning different styles of music, such as; jazz, sw- ing, blues, rock, and music inspiration. The band needs more horn players to even out the sound, although they do have enough to play music with a good sound. Plans for the Stage Band are to per- form for groups around town, and in Grants Pass. The Stage Band will also try to participate in a Spring Concert at the high school. They are looking forward to going to Mt. Hood College to hear and participate in their jazz festival, which is held in April. Instrumentation needed for the Stage Band are saxophones, trumpets, trom- bones, and rhythm section. Stage Band is a good opportunity for any student who would like to play some solos and learn “jazz” style of music. STAGE BAND - Kent Mer rell, Rand Baldwin. Tom Davis. Anita Hoskins. Kurt Korff. Troy Brown, (advisor) — Barton Ellis. 71 CONCERT BAND AND CHESS CLUB CONCERT BAND Concert Band is split into different functions; Marching Band, Concert Band, Pep Band. Marching Band participated at all home football games this year. The group played pep music by the stands and marched a short field show at Homecoming. The Marching Band also went on a short trip to play in a Band-O-Rama, held at the Fairgrounds in Grants Pass. We joined Hidden and North Valley High Schools and per- formed 4 songs. Due to weather pro- blems, the band was rained out after they got on the field. Plans for the rest of the year are to march in the Boatnik parade in Grants Pass. Concert Band began the end of Oc- tober. The group spent time learning music for the Christmas Concert, held in December. Concert Band plans to learn more music and do a Spring Concert and an end of the year con- cert. They are also in the process of raising money to go on a short trip to California in May. Band members also make up the Pep Band at IVHS. Pep Band plays for all home Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ basketball games. The band spends time learning “fun” music to help fire up the basketball teams. Some of the new music being played this year was “Eye of the Tiger,” “On Broadway,” “Championship.” Pep Band is a fun band for I.V.H.S. because it gives the members a chance to play easy music that everyone likes, and to have some fun. CHESS CLUB Chess Club is not actually a club, but it is a group of students who participated in a tournament. These people are Lynn Humbard, Mike Miller, Rick Rotmans, Dillion Sanders, Allan Van Nuys and Micha Meidinger . The members’ main goal was to send someone to state. They were very pleased with their goal because they were successful. Dillion Sanders was undefeated after four games of the tournament. After his wins he was sent to Springfield for regionals. They were sponsored by Omsi, and took place on February 12. Dillion was successful. State was next. Their goal was well fulfill- ed. The members are hopeful that there will be more students participating in the tournament next year. They all had a good time. FRONT ROW: Teresa Warren. Katrina Davis. Shawna Barty. Lisa Baker.

This year’s Journalism classes again produced two school papers, the Student Spectra and the Cougar Chronicle. Editors for the papers are, Dawn Dailey for the Spectra, and Sean Boyd for the Chronicle. In addition to the papers, the Journalism classes undertook a new venture this year by producing a Winter Sports Program. The program features team pictures of the wrestlers and all basketball teams. The front and back covers were produced in color, and there were numerous general interest articles in the program. The economy took its toll on the journalism program. Numerous cuts had to be made, including typesetting at school rather than have type commercially set. Since the journalism pro- gram is subsidized completely by paid advertisements, a stricter cost analysis had to be implemented this year. Fortunately however, the journalism program has had funds to defray prin- ting at least one school paper each month. Advisor Jay Monier feels this year’s journalism class is the strongest he has had in six years of advising the papers. In addi- tion to good reports, Julie Odom in the photography area, coupl- ed with Tyrone Berglund and Kathy Green as illustrators, make this year’s class an exceptional one. LITERARY MAGAZINE The Literary Magazine, dedicated to the publication of students literature, has been a gruelling undertaking by Instructor Rick Ferris, and Maia Davis, its only staff member. The Magazine is an annual publication of art work, prose, and poetry, compiled together as one of the most interesting documentaries of adoles- cent’s innermost feelings. The Literary Magazine provides in- terested students with a place to submit their art and literature, and was a great success in the 82-83 school year. 73 TRAIL BLAZER STAFF Laura Bauman Business, Ads, and Faculty Steve Bennett, Photography, Adrianna Blesser Division Pages, Dan Carmody, Photography, Mike Casas Photography, Tiffiani Cowan Typist, Paula Chapen Ads Editor.

The team lacked much of the experience it takes to play at the varsity level, but they never gave up, and they always fought hard, right down to the very last point. The team also received a new coach this year. This was Coach Loomis’ first year in coaching Volleyball, and he did very well in a real tough league. For both the team and Coach Loomis it was a building year, and next year they should have the needed experience it takes to make it to the State Play-offs. Awards were given out to Stephanie Berard for most valuable, and Darla Billhimer for most inspirational. The entire team was voted most improved. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL - TOP: Diana Milner.

Volleyball team did not have its best season as far as win loss records go. But, win loss records never tell the whole story. The majority of the team was sophomores. This was a problem because it meant that the team lacked ex- perience and consistency. However, this did not dim the team’s spirit. The team members worked hard, improved greatly, and most importantly, gained the ex- perience they previously lacked. J.V. VOLLEYBALL - TOP: L TO R: Valeric Moore, Karen Mowles.

They concentrated on the basic skills and this was apparent in their play. Gaining a little more poise and experience with each game they were able to put their skills together and become a solid team. This years Freshmen team was the base of a strong new program.

Two suc- cessive wins over Bandon and Glide gave the football team confidence to pursue the season. The remainder of the season, however, the Cougars fell short as the team could not pull together to win another contest. The Cougars’ losses were heart breaking, such as the six over- time loss to Lakeview and the seven to zero loss to Douglas. Coach Richardson noticed many bright spots throughout the season. The improvement shown by all the players, and the fact that IV proved competitive in all their games made the season a success. No team could afford to overlook the Cougars. There were several outstanding Cougars this season. Both Shannon Kasiah and Sam Kennedy were voted first all league in the positions of linebacker and punter. Receiving honorable mention, offensively, were Gary Gould and Rick Brood, Defensively, Eric Hoover, Jeff Nichols, Dave Billhimer and Steve Bennet also received honorable mention. Shannon Kasiah was voted the team’s most valuable player with 148 tackles.

Matejka and Campbell gambling on their future. Coaches Campbell and Matejka talk offense. Coach Randy Gould discusses his team with coach Richardson. Although the soph frosh football team was unsuccessful in their bid to win a single game, the skills learned made for an all-around successful season. Coach Randy Gould feels that the freshmen on the team received a lot of playing time that will be very instrumental for a strong varsity program. The final record of 0-6-1 reflects a season of hard work and dedication by the young athletes. Perhaps the brightest moment for the in- experienced frosh soph team was the game with the Grants Pass Junior Varsity team. This was the only game in which the Cougars were not totally dominated. Gould sums up the season by saving “We might not have a winning season, but the skills learned and the spirit of the team, made the season worth while.” Dave Billhimer throws another brilliant pass. 87 COUGARS: OFF AND RUNNING VARSITY J.V.

Steve Holthus and Scott Phillips 'What's she got that I don’t?” wondersKaren McLennan, The 82-83 Cross Country team had a small turnout this year, but they didn’t let that slow them down. Rain or shine, they ran everyday, 5 to 7 miles in a variety of weather conditions which usually includ- ed rain. After many weeks of rigorous training, the boys’ varsity team showed excellent teamwork by beating four dif- ferent teams. Senior Bob DeVyldere was the fastest and most consistent runner on the team. Brant Rigby, also a senior, put out a great effort. The other three varsity boys, De- Wayne Lawrence, John Sloan, and Jeremy Hart, ran strongly together against tough competition. The girls’ team consisted of only two freshmen runners, Jill Garner and Erin Miley. Jill represented our school at State and placed 39 out of 112 participants. On November 12, a ‘Jill Garner Day’ was held at our school in recognition of her achievements as a runner. Dave Hartesveldt, who has been coaching Cross Country here for five years, was disappointed in the turnout; however, the team members were hard- working and ran well together. Coach Hartesveldt said he greatly enjoyed working with the people on the team. or 89 Studly starting line up Jill Garner on her way to state. ENDLESS COUGAR SPIRIT Making a good appearance this year was the girls’ Varsity Fall Rally which was made up of six members. Rally Queen Cindy Sole, Kelly Hoover, Kristen Taylor, Deana Smith, Karen Elroy and Dawn Dailey. The rally advisors were Linda Hugle and Julia Richardson. These girls put a lot of spirit and pride into their cheering to pep up the crowds. They kept spirit going in the crowds even in times of defeat. They pulled together pep assemblies in which they caught the eye and attention and spirit of all I.V. Cougar fans. Homecoming pep assembly Carrie Barty, Patty Miller, Laura Zulliger To the members of J.V. Rally, rally meant not only cheering at all the J.V. games, but making new friends and get- ting actively involved in their school. The four J.V. members, Patty Miller, Laura Zulliger, Kathy Woods, and Carrie Barty, not only cheered for their J.V. but helped out Varsity Rally at games and pep assemblies. During the summer the rally spent time learning new cheers and earn- ing money for the activities during the season. Dawn Dailey. Deana Smith, Kelly Hoover. Kari Elroy.

The cheerleaders’ main responsibility is to create school spirit. This year’s cheerleaders felt that they reached the goals of do- ing what they wanted to accomplish. The following is what they had to say about the season: Maria Davis and Kelly Monroe felt the reason they were a part of rally were; “to get more school spirit.” The girls reached that goal toward the end of the season. “When the student body saw what our teams were made of, they started to show more enthusiasm.” Diana Bregar said her reason was; “to help the student body be more unified and have everybody supporting the extracurricular ac- tivities.” Monica Sorenson said, “I reached the top of the ladder when I shoved a pie in Mr. Crocker’s face.” Mrs. Hugle, the rally advisor, also had some thoughts about the season. This is what she had to say, “It was really an interesting experience.” This year’s rally was very supportive of our teams, as they always should be. What counts the most is that all the rally members had fun and en- joyed their season. Maria Davis and Kelly Monroe show their spirit.

VARSITY Playing in the shadow of the 1982 team, the 1983 team had a hard act to follow. However as the season progress- ed they filled the shoes quite nicely. Head coach, Jeff Campbell felt that the inexperienced girls had a great season. Beginning with two losses in preseason play to both Brookings and Myrtle Point, the season looked as if it were to be a long one for the Cougars. However, they rebounded in the first half of Skyline play to hold a 5-2 record and clinching a tie for second. The second half of play was a disap- pointment for the Cougars. They slumped to a 1-3 record midway through the second half. The Cougars then turned it around to win the last three games of the season, including an outstanding vic- tory over North Valley and an overtime win against stubborn Rogue River. Therese Canevari led the team in scor- ing with 14 points a game, with a season total of 209 points. She was the second highest scorer in the Skyline Conference. Martie Mayfield was next on the high- scoring list for the Cougars with 181 points, and a 13 point per game average. Stephanie Wargin sinks a two pointer against Rogue River. 93 MORE GIRLS BASKETBALL Stephanie Wargin shoots as Theresa Canevari awaits a rebound. Martie Mayfield moves for an open shot. Theresa Canevari sinks one from the foul line. GIRLS’ FRESHMEN This year’s Freshmen basketball team wasn’t successful as far as wins and losses. But as far as reaching their goals Mark Bray, the coach, feels they did outstanding. His main goals for the season were to improve on basic skills and most impor- tantly the team attitude. This was Mark Brays first year of coaching at the high school so he wasn’t sure what to expect. By the end of the season he had this to say about it. “I enjoy coaching at a high school level because the players are more experienced.” He gave out a few special awards. They were as follows: Most Improved, Molly Goodman, M.V.P., Angie Hackstock, and Best Team Player, DeAnn Firstenberg. GIRLS’ JUNIOR VARSITY The J.V. girls’ basketball team finished the season with a league record of 5 wins and 7 losses. First year girls’ basketball coach, Jim Richardson thought the team’s strongest points were its tremendous “Team effort, fast learning ability, and amazing fourth quarter comebacks.” The weak point was the small number of players. Five sophomores and one junior made up the nucleus, and three varsity players, Kim Terrell, Dawn Dailey, and Diane Milner, played on both Varsity and JV. Chrissi Buckhaults was the only junior on the team. She did a great job reboun- ding and leading the team in scoring with 119 points. Tina Turiace came on the floor to score frequently and switched between a wing and a point position well. Lynn Humbard was the best ball handler. She was also a good defensive player and gave spark to the team. Larissa Stewart alternated between forward and guard. There was a big dif- ference in team output when she was on the floor. Trina Rigby was the best outside shooter on the team. She gave out a great effort and provided a strong outside threat. Finally, Pattie Nicholson played center position and was team Captain. When she went out of the game, the team lost a lot of rebounding and enthusiasm. Even though it was rough at times and there was always the threat of theft of shoe laces, Richardson learned a great deal as a girls’ coach. “The season was very gratifying for me. I enjoyed all of the girls,” he said. 94 Team action gives Trina Rigby a clear shot. SO CLOSE BUT, YET SO EAR ... VARSITY BASKETBALL BOYS — FRONT ROW L TO R: Jeff Nichols, Gavin Rundell, John Sloan.

BOYS’ VARSITY This year’s Varsity Boys’ Basketball team look- ed as if they could have easily won state honors. The team, which had six returning lettermen from the team that went to state the previous year, had high expectations. However, a trip to state was not to be, as the Cougars were in the shadow of the North Valley Knights. In the first half, the Knights, who ranked sixth in state, dominated the Skyline Conference. There were four major teams in the Skyline Conference. They included North Valley, Phoenix, Illinois Valley, and Henley. Henley, who placed second in the first half, lost only to North Valley who took first place honors. Illinois Valley was third in front of Phoenix who placed fourth. In the second half the first place honors again went to the North Valley Knights. For second place there was a two-way tie between Henley and Phoenix. Illinois Valley closely pursued these teams taking third place honors. The Cougars, midway through the second half lost a dicouraging away game against the Phoenix Pirates. The Cougars, who were totally dominated in the game, were now grasping the fact that state was almost out of reach. However, the Cougars had one more chance to go to state, and that was to beat the Knights in their last home game. This game described by coach Ken Lathen was, “Tremendous.” The packed gym, had standing room only. The Cougars, who put out 100% on the court still failed to beat the Knights. Although the Cougars did lose this key encounter, they still felt proud, for they put forth their best effort. With a total record of 13-7 Ken Lathen feels that it was a “good year” for the Varsity Boys. He feels they “improved” and, “worked hard” all for a worthwhile experience. Dave Billhimer shows his talent as he scores two points for the Cougars. Rick Brood jumps higher. BOYS’ FRESHMEN BOYS’ JUNIOR VARSITY The 1982-83 season for the Junior Varsity Boys' Basketball team, was term- ed a success” by Coach Randy Gould. Gould felt that the reason for the success was that, ‘‘Each player learned to be competitive in the latter part of the season.” The final record for the J.V. Boys was 7-13 and 6-8 in League play. Coach Gould felt that the season was ‘‘Good, because the team started the season with one experienced J.V. player.” ‘‘This then, made the team young, and therefore it received a lot of valuable playing time,” continued Gould. Perhaps the most exciting game was the game against Douglas. This game which went into overtime was finally won by the Cougars. The Cougars, who held their poise, sunk numerous freethrows, to beat Douglas in a close game 42-39. The most valuable player award for the team went to Johnny Scaffin, while John Sloan won most inspirational. Final- ly for the most improved award the honor wen t to several players. They were Gavin Rundell, Rick Rotmans, and Steve Mason. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Jeff Nichols watches Tom Griffin’s shot. With a total record of 6 wins and 13 losses the Cougar Freshmen Boys’ Basketball team still had a successful season. They worked hard, had fun, and learned the physical and mental aspects of the game. Perhaps the brightest moment for the young Cougars was a game against the Brookings Bruins. The final score of 57- 56 was sealed with 4 seconds left by a Will Hoskins jump shot to insure the vic- tory. Some other games that shortened I.V. fans’ fingernails, were the two games against North Valley. Both of these games went into overtime. In the end the Cougars had the final edge, taking two close, heartbreaking victories away from North Valley. This freshman team recorded the best win-loss record of the past three years.

Mike Casas, Shanon Kasiah, James Pruner, Eric Hoover, Chris Kellum. FRONT ROW L TO R: Mark Miller, Glen Patton, Darryl Gill. Ruben Costello, Paul Greco, John Webb. Darryl Gill avenges an earlier loss to Mike Narkiewiez of Douglas in the 98 lb. District Championship match at Henley. One week later Gill placed fourth at state. The Wrestling season was characterized by overall team competitiveness and moments of outstanding individual achievements. The team was young and inexperienced, with the exception of Seniors Chris Kellum, Mike Casas, Shanon Kasiah, Eric Hoover, and Junior Kevin Gill. However, these individuals, along with Darryl Gill, Ruben Costello, John Webb and Scott Phillips formed the backbone of the Varsity team and were responsible for the 7 victories in a 7-14 season. The Cougars finished fourth at District behind Phoenix, Henley, and South Umpqua. The individual efforts were topped by Darryl Gill, 98 lb. freshman, who won the Butte Com- munity College Tournament, was Skyline Con- ference Champion and placed fourth at State. He finished the season with a 30-4 record. Other outstanding efforts were contributed by Shanon Kasiah at 178 lbs. who placed second at the Butte and District tournaments and also fourth at State. He compiled a 25-5 record for the season. Chris Kellum was also Butte and District Tournament runnerup and finished the season with a sixth place at State. These three wrestlers scored 35 points at the State Tournament, which was good enough for a 14th place team finish. Mike Casas, 157 lbs., who was a runnerup at the Butte Tourna- ment, also had a winning record. Eric Hoover, 191 lbs., was third at District and both wrestlers con- tributed experience leadership, poise and en- thusiasm to the younger wrestlers. Kevin Gill, at 130 lbs., was Butte Tournament champion and fourth at District. Mike Scott completed the season with a strong third place finish at District. Coaches Wes Brown and Jay Miller were pleas- ed with the team’s overall performance. They felt this team made a significant contribution to the strong wrestling tradition at I.V.H.S. 98 Chris Kellum lifts and turns Henley’s State Champ, Mike Crebbin.

A revolution as «tensive and world-changing as any experienced in the history of mankind. A revolution which promised to change our lives so thoroughly and with such subtlety that the implications had only begun to be realized. From the alarm clock that starts your day to the most advanced piece of engineering ever constructed by man; the apace shuttle; evidence of this revolution had begun to appear in almost every aspect of life. This is refer- ring to. of course, the constant and almost daily advances in the fields of microcomputer and microprocessor technology. What only a century ago was science fiction, is today reality, thanks mostly to a tiny fragment of silicon known simply and unpretentiously as a chip. Fact: Certain silicon chip units, comprised of the same elements found in common sand, can perform more functions that the entire Mission Con- trol computer complex used during the NASA Mercury Space Program! All this, in a device no larger than a postage stamp. Fact: The first fully electronic digital computer which arrived on the scene in the late 40's weighed 30 tons and utilized 18.000 vacuum tubes, which burned out on the average of one every seven minutes, can cost $487,000,000. A comparable unit would today fit into a briefcase and cost about $2,000. Fact: It is estimated that by the mid-1990's. 85% of all people under 35 years of age will be “computer literate. due to the almoat fanatical adop- tion that America’s youth has developed for the Video Arcade and the ap- pearance of home computers, calculators, games, and appliances priced to fit any budget. And new advances are conatantly being made. The future is here now. We arc living in the age of acience-fiction. Even in its virtual in- fancy. the new horizons being opened up arc limited only by one's imagination. r DEER CREEK FEED AND HARDWARE Congratulates the Class of “83” For all your animal feed, animal health, livestock equipment hardware, shop Deer Creek Feed and Hardware.

His head is rather like a slightly flattened ball. His eyes are much too big, and when he stretches his neck, it is almost as long as his whole body. He also has hideous wrinkles all over his body, and a scrat- chy voice to top it all off. Now imagine millions of people all over the world falling in love with him. Imagine them honoring him with T-shirts bearing his picture along with key- chains, stationery, jewelry and even songs. Sound impossible? No, it's just E.T. mania! The E.T. craze began with a movie about him. Millions of people laughed and cried for the little space alien when he was stranded on earth and wanted to go home. He may have been ugly on the outside, but his tenderness and love displayed his true beauty, which is the real reason for all the at- tention. If E.T. ever comes back to earth, he will find a whole world ready to welcome him. 121 c---------------------------------- Congratulations to the Class of “83” For now and in the future you can always depend on AWS for all your water needs.

Girls combined designer jeans; such as Calvin Klein, with nice sweaters or Izod shirts. Shirts with belts were also worn. Pullover sweat- shirts with shrink-to-fit Levis were popular; usually Nikes or Vans completed the look. On some days, students, like Maia Davis, Portia Switzer, and Maria Davis could be spotted wear- ing shockingly short mini-shirts in bright polka- dots or gray. Prairie skirts returned to be worn with ruffley blouses and high or low heeled boots. Boys mixed many different colors and styles. Levis shrink-to-fit, Izod shirts and Vans seemed to be their favorites. California s OP Sunwear still had a big impact on IVHS. Their bright and versatile styles were for boys and girls alike. With OP floral and solid patterns, the combina- tions were endless. The trend in clothing leans toward individuality; creating the unique at- mosphere here at IVHS.

These are all thoughts of a magnificent day at the shore, but not for teacher Ron Davison and student Todd Green. They hear music! And they want everyone else to hear it too! Crazy? Maybe a little, but actually it makes a lot of sense. Ron Davison began this project on a vacation. Now Todd Green with Davison's help, is elaborating on the original findings. What exaclty is their pro- ject? To sum it up, they’re setting nature to music. The idea may seem bizarre at first, but they used staff line (used for writing musical notes) to plot the tides, and studied the sun and moon’s pull on the earth and anything else that may have some effect on the tides. Their conclusions and the tides agreed, so the research continued. What they came up with, was a simple, distinct melody. They added some background music and made a song out of nature’s own “notes. They presented this at the Science and Humanities Symposium as perhaps a key, or link in the correlation of natural phenomenon, but at the time of this writing, there were no definite conclusions.

The object of this contest was to raise money for Student Council. There were 5 pairs in the contest: each pair consisting of a teacher or administrator and a student. A can was put in the cafetorium during both lunches for each pair. The students plac- ed money in the can of the pair that he or she wanted to kiss the pig. The pairs participating were: Mr. Strode Maia Davis; Mr. Richardson Dave Billhimer: Mrs. Caves Zac Kauffman; Mr. Sisk Maria Davis; Mr. Lathen Portia Switzer. Mr. Strode Maia Davis smacked the hog. for they pulled in the most money, but Mr. Richardson also had the privilege of planting a big kiss right on the snout. Mr. Strode offered $5.00 if Mr. Richardson would kiss the pig. The student body had a great time during the assembly for the actual puckering. As Mr. Strode prepared to smooch the swine — the thunder of the student crowd almost raised the roof of the cafetorium. The Kiss-A-Pig contest was a very good fund-raiser a lot of fun for the entire school. 202 N. Redwood Hwy.

VARSITY SOFTBALL This past year, IV managed to build a strong and competitive Softball team.The season started off slowly due to the weather con- ditions, which confined many practices to the gym. By the first game, they had practiced only once on the field, which showed in the errors made. As the weather improved, so did the team. IV’s season ended with a record of 11 wins and 12 losses. The strong point of the team was the defense. Not much got past the infield, but if it did, the outfield was there to back them up. The three Seniors on the team did an outstanding job and receiv- ed the Co-Most Valuable Award. Alicia Moore helped the team with her hitting. She managed to keep her batting average at .370, which was the second best on the team. Chris Sloan was IV’s third baseman for three years, and did an exceptional job each year. Julie Graham was the starting pitcher for the 82-83 season. She pitched very competitively against other teams and picked up IV’s first no-hitter. Other members of the team were Juniors Darla Billhimer, Diane Milner, Chris Buckhaults, and Martie Mayfield; Sophomore Lori Dodge; Freshmen Buffy Porter (.400 batting average), Angie Hackstock, and Hattie Boswell. This was the last year for the scorekeeper of IV. Joann Chown has been the scorekeeper for the past four years. She was ap- preciated very much for the cold water on hot days and for all the lit- tle goodies she made. I wish someone would hit the ball!!” JV SOFTBALL After weeks of rain and cancelled games, the JV Softball team, under coach Linda Hoback, finally got started. The team was com- posed of equal numbers of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. The Freshmen on the team showed a lot of potential for the upcom- ing years. The Sophomores had a year of gaining valuable playing time and the Juniors provided the experience needed to round out the team. The JV team was only about half the size that it was last year, but the smaller size of the team gave each player a chance to gain more experience and playing time on the field. Team awards were given to Tina Turiace and Karen McLennan as most valuable players. Becky Sommers showed a lot of potential as a pitcher in her first year of playing softball and received the much deserved award of most improved player. Even though the team didn’t have its best season as far as their win loss record goes, the important outcome was that the team showed a lot of spirit throughout the season and gained much needed experience that should prove to be beneficial to them next year. They also learned a lot about their own potential as softball players and what it takes to be a part of a team. 139 The IV Softball Team intensely watching the game.

VARSITY BASEBALL Although this year’s IV Cougar Varsity Baseball team was composed of a new coach and five Freshmen, the ball players still managed to have a great season with lots of fun. Coach Don Matejka did the best possible job he was able and had a respec- table season with his Varsity team. Perhaps the brightest moment of the season for Matejka’s ballplayers happened when they defeated the highly ranked Phoenix Pirates. This game, which was fought hard, just went to show the potential that the team and each ballplayer had. Throughout the season. Dave Billhimer had the hot bat as he led the team with the highest batting average of .471. Next down on the roster was Dan Killebrew. hitting .351. Finally, proceeding him were both Johnny Scaffin and Tim Cromwell with their averages of .311 and .306, respectively. As all the team were affected by the rain, so was the case with the Varsity team. However, there emerged, between rainstorms, several games that allowed some ballplayers to gain notoriety. In conclusion, the two most noted players ended up to be both Dave Billhimer and Dan Killebrew. Billhimer led the team with the highest batting average, as Killebrew was voted as being the best pitcher of 1983. U.I.B. (Unidentified IV Batter) Sam Kennedy takes a hefty swing while Coach Matejka looks on. Tom Griffin watches South Umpqua batter rip a hit. Tim Crowell attempts to pick-off a Lancer runner JV BASEBALL This year’s JV Baseball team had a “great year” in terms of wins and losses. The final record of 3-5 represented a year of hard work and determination put forth by the JV Baseball team. In previous years, the JV team had been defeated, that is, they were unable to even win one game. This year, however, the team played several games that the outcome was decided in the last inn- ing of play. For example, the JV team played a tri- ple A team from Hidden Valley to a 6-5 decision. This just proves the determination and effort that could and was demonstrated by the ball players. Even though the JV team had eight games cancell- ed throughout their season, the team managed to have a few athletes excel. Steve O’Donnell was voted most valuable. Furthermore, Tom Davis was determined to be most inspirational. Coach Campbell felt that the members of his baseball team were a “great” group of guys to work with. Campbell felt that the improvement made by each player towards the end of the season made his coaching position all the more worthwhile. Finally, Campbell since really believes that the JV players he coached this year will develop into outstanding Var sity level players in the future. 141 THE 1983 I.V.H.S. TRACK TEAM!

FRONT ROW: Dan Wallis, Rick Brood, Bob DeVyldere. TRACK Running, jumping, throwing, and sprinting, this year’s track team was successful and gained valuable training time. The boys’ team, which consisted mostly of graduating seniors, was very competitive. The boys’ track team placed fourth overall at the District Meet and sent three people to the State Track Meet in Portland. The girls’ team was a young inex- perienced team and all of the girls, except one, plan to return next year. The District Meet qualified four IVHS trackers for the AA Meet; Bob DeVyldere. Dan Wallis, Rick Brood (seniors), and Freshman Jill Garner. Bob DeVyldere was District Champion in the intermediate hurdles and a week later placed 4th at the State Meet. “An exceptional performance,’’ said first year Coach Scott Loomis. Bob also received the Most Outstanding Award for the ’83 season. Dan Wallis took second in the 200 meter dash and represented his school well at the State Meet. He was awarded the Most Valuable Player at the Spring Sports Ban- quet. Jill Garner also placed 2nd at District in the 3000 meter run, supporting the girls’ team. Jill received the Most Outstanding Award for the ’83 season. Rick Brood, an in- credible jumper, placed second at district, one-half inch behind first place. Rick received the Most Inspirational Award, along with Sheila Campbell and Michelle Sloan. The Most Improved Awards went to Dan Gates and Lisa Sims. This season was exceptional for the boys and invaluable for the girls. Coaches Loomis. Richardson, McCormick, and Miller were all pleased with this year. 142 Bob DeVyldere crossing the finish line.

Even though both games were lost, the Cougars kept up their team spirit and positive attitude. The second game, against the Douglas Indians, a rival school, was very close. We lost by only two points in overtime, with the bystanders cheering louder and louder. Several other coaches commented later that this had been that most exciting game of the whole tournament. The State Tournament of 1983 was held in Corvallis at OSU. Again, it was impressive to watch how these athletes tried their best, held together as a team, and showed good sportsmanship qualities. We lost two games and won two games which brought us the third place trophy in the state of Oregon for the C division. FRONT ROW — LEFT TO RIGHT — BASKETBALL: Roger Thompson. Deena Thompson.

This tournament is the grand finale of the year, and it seemed that everyone was there. The opening parade was a sight to behold with colorful banners, marching athletes, movie stars, balloons, pidgeons, and colorful skygliders. Throughout the two day event, a Friendship Fair was open to all, with bingo games, magic shows, dancing, clowns, animals, and a variety of fun booths. There were also sports clinics available. Each athlete did their best and still managed to have fun. It was inspiring to see so many people together, peacefully and cooperatively, striving to achieve their own personal best.

The remaining 26 of teaching have been with the Josephine County Unit School District in the two Illinois Valley High School Buildings. Wayne Thornhill was born in Protection, Kansas. Following graduation, he enlisted in the Army and had overseas duty in Ger- many during World War II. When he got out of the service, Thornhill knew exactly what he wanted, and, on a GI scholarship, he obtained his degree from Northwest State Teachers’ College in Aina, OK. He also took a pretty Oklahoma girl for his wife. After college, he work- ed in the laboratory for Continental Oil Company. His first 4 years of teaching were spent in two different Oklahoma schools. During a summer vacation, the Thornhills drove west to visit relatives in Oregon, and maybe look for a job. He’s been teaching here in the Il- linois Valley ever since. Mr. Thornhill has contributed a lot of his time and effort into the two Illinois Valley High Schools. He has coached Football, Wrestling, Baseball, and Basketball for over 20 years. Coaching i$n’t the only contribution he’s made to the school, though. He helped build baseball backstops, the track, concession stands, and equipment sheds. He also scouted games, chaperoned school functions, and pulled all kinds of extra duties. He did all of these things without finance or fanfare. Math and woodshop have been Thornhill’s major classes. He has also taught mechanical drawing and driver’s education. IVHS’ BO DEREK SAYS FAREWELL!!! There comes a time in everyone’s life when their thoughts turn to retir- ing from their profession. This time arrived for Jane Riggan this year. So, after twenty-three years in the teaching profession, Jane Riggan is leaving. Since 1958, she has touched the lives of countless youngsters in this school district and these same students have also touched Jane’s life. Once a Master teacher leaves the education, they can never be replac- ed. A void is created, and IVHS now has a void in its teaching ranks with Mrs. Riggan’s departure. But, time, as well as people, must move forward and Jane Riggan is now moving forward to other interests in life. She has retired from teaching, but that same warmth and dignity, and compassion that was bestowed on kids will now be used in her new interests. Education will be the lesser for it. From the students, staff, and community, “Thanks” Jane Riggan, for everything you have done for kids. And, incidentally, Jane, good luck in your career venture even though you’ll no longer have to fret over indirect objects. 145 r.-Sr. prom J4awaiian antady The 1983 Prom theme, Hawaiian Fantasy, together with the theme song, ‘‘Up Where We Belong (from An Officer and a Gentleman) lifted the participants' spirits up where they belonged. Upon entrance to the Prom, which was held at the Riverside Convention Center, the Hawaiian theme was brought to life. A grass hut was at the entrance with a basket of memory books beside it. The dance room was fill- ed with the music of the band. Audiofile, and elegantly decorated. Together they set the mood of magic that was to last throughout the evening. The junior class worked to create a special prom for the seniors. The 1983 Prom was a great success. This year some new aspects were added that the junior class hoped would be used throughout the years. For this Prom, not on- ly was there a crowning of a Queen. Julie Graham, but also of a King, Mike Casas. The court consisted of princesses Maria Davis and Kari Elroy, and princes Sam Kennedy and Dave Billhimer. Our congratulations to all of them. Special thanks are in order for Becky Caves, who organized and helped the Prom committee a great deal. The prom committee appreciated her help. Thanks!! Prom King.
