7th 8th Basketball Above, 7th 8th Girls Basketball team, back row left to right: Karen Hammerberg, Brenda Morgan, Linda Casad, and Donna Dow; middle row: Robin Johnson, Lisa Rinkes, and Helen Hanenkratt; front row: Coach Hiebert, Veronna Portrey, and Kathy Riley. The girls 7th 8th grade team did not have a whole lot of experience in basketball but learned more about it and the season went on. The team consisted of nine players, 8th graders Brenda Morgan, Linda Casad, Lisa Rinkes, Donna Dow, Veronna Portrey, and Kathy Riley, and 7th graders Karen Hammerberg, Helen Hanenkratt, and Robin Johnson. The team was coached by Dave Hiebert. The girls and their coach showed a lot of dedication by showing up at practice every morning at 6:45 a.m. They then practiced as long as possible before showering and going to class. This dedication proved worth while-by the end of the season they were playing very well and were winning with pride. Finishing the season off, the team had a party to show their appreciation to Mr. Hiebert for coaching them. They presented hi m with a “Thankyou” cake and a gift. Although the 7th and 8th grade boys’ basketball team wasn’t consistant in number throughout the year, a total of 10 Bluejays played for the team. This doesn’t count the miscellaneous players who were borrowed from other teams when there weren’t enough Jewell players to make a team. Half of the team was made up of 8th graders Bobby Robinson, Rod Camberg, Brian Savage, Scott Carver, and Robert Ripley. There was only one 7th grader, Bobby Savage, and four 6th graders, Graham Vandehey, Reggie Mitchell, James Wilkin, and Kevin Layman, making up the rest of the team. The team was coached by 5th and 6th grade teacher Mark Erickson. The players may not have been able to boast a great win-loss record, but the team worked hard at practice and during their games to “give it all they’ve got.” With this year behind them as good, sound experience, the team is already looking forward to next season's schedule.

Rally Unpredictable. That’s the word to describe this years rally squad. There were as few as four and as many as six cheerleaders throughout the season as they did their best to boost school spirit at pep rallies, games, and during Homecoming week. Debbi Wood and Connie Rinkes were co- captains of the squad advised by Miss Witzig. Besides Debbi and Connie, Tami Jackson, Margie Potts, Lynda Adamson, and Deena Sprague promoted school spirit with numerous cheers and pep. From Newport for an overnight game to Beaverton with O.E.S. the girls followed the team across the state, giving support and cheering them on as the boys strived toward victory. Homecoming week brought the girls a token of appreciation from the boys—a long stem red rose for each. 1-The wheelbarrow race continues, with sophomores Margie Potts and Neil Vandehey winning the race. 2-ls it the Jewell hoods’?

Ho mecoming The Homecoming court of 1980 poses for a group picture. Left back row: Sophomore princess Deena Sprague and Doug Rodgers, Senior Queen Connie Rinkes and Pat Potts, Junior princess Wendy Robinson and Ward Vandehey. Front left to right: 7th 8th princess Lisa Rinkes and Bobby Robinson, and Freshman princess Dawn Smith and Daren Berg. ‘Homecoming week has come and gone, but our spirit lingers on, so come on all you Bluejay fans, stand up and clap your hands.” This cheer opened the pep assembly for the 1980 Homecoming week. Homecoming week started out Monday morning with an invasion of all sorts of spacy looking creatures. The rest of the week included ‘‘Inside-out-and- backwards Day”, which also was boy’s hush pin day when Deena Sprague was elected Miss Irresistible by collecting the most hush pins from the male population. Wednesday was Occupation Day and also girl’s hush pin day. James Reeher collected the most girls’ pins to be named Mr. Irresistible. Thursday’s Twin Day found everyone seeing double all day long. Also, the Seniors held the 2nd annual body smear at noon, beginning as normal as could be expected and ending up looking like the Incredible Melting Men, with mustard, raw eggs, toothpaste, and boiled popcorn smeared 28 Homecoming all over their bodies. Friday, the last day of Homecoming Week, we as Hat, Sock, and Bubble Gum Day, finding everyone wearing crazy socks, ugly hats, and chewing gooey bubble gum. That same day the coaches opened the 7th period pep assembly by giving their last pep talks for the year. The rally squad continued by leading spirit yells and organizing a wheelbarrow race for all the munch mouths, to see who could eat an assortment of ‘finger foods” without their fingers the fastest. Neil Vandehey crossed the finish line first and was proclaimed Homecoming 1980 Munch Mouth. At half-time of the Homecoming game, and eventual victory over Valsetz, the Homecoming court was presented. Princesses were: Lisa Rinkes, 7th and 8th; Dawn Smith, 9th; Deena Sprague, 10th; and Wendy Robinson, 11th. Senior princess Connie Rinkes was the 1980 Homecoming Queen. Following the game, the week’s activities were culminated by the traditional Homecoming Dance, leaving Homecoming 1980 just a memory for all those who participated.
