Staff Editor Co-Editor Business Manager Photographer Advertising Advisor Robin Brechtel Karen Walker Debbie Taylor Theresa Lacey A staff of many Mrs. Chubbin Cox Lost River High School 197G-77 Malin and Merrill Oregon In Honor of Mildred Tofell Mildred Tofell is an exceptional teacher and good teachers make a difference. The influence a teacher has on young minds is impossible to measure. A teacher affects eternity with no way to tell where the influence ends. The best teachers I have known have had serveral characteristics in common. They love what they are doing. They catalyze in youth a burning desire to know. They have a great expectation level for their students. They really care. Mrs. Tofell epitomizes these characteristics. She is a lady who had held the torch - the torch of wisdom which she held high to light the way for those to follow, the youth who were fortunate enough to have her as a teacher. When school opens next fall, there will be a void at Lost River High School, but Mrs. Tofell's impact and influence will continue with us for many years in the future. James B.

As the outgoing President of the 76-77 Student Council, I have the opportunity to look back over a school year in which the Student Council accomplished things which, hopefully, can be appreciated for years to come. After putting on the Homecoming Dance and Spirit Week, the Student Council constructed an LR on Hickey's Hill - hoping that its continual upkeep will reflect the spirit that the kids have in their school. Also, and perhaps most important, the Student Council wrote a constitution for the school - which will help the students understand their school more. Thomas B. Flesher 38 39 It was quite an honor for me to represent Lost River as its Queen candidate. Being chosen as Potato Festival Queen came as a surprise. I real- ize I could not have done it without the help of my family and friends. The gifts I received from the merchants have meant a great deal. Thanks to them and other generous people of the community, I was able to raise over $500 from the ticket sales for my school. I will enjoy representing Klamath County at the State Fair. I only hope all the other Potato Festi- val Representatives have as much fun as I did.

We probably played the toughest schedule in the his- tory of the school and finished with a 3-6 win-loss record. However, we did have a winning 3-2 record in league play and will return a fine nucleus of experienced personnel next season. Those seniors who played their last season for Lost River include: Steve Kenyon, Devin Travis, Tom Flesher, Tracey Lyon, Karl Scronce, and Jeff Nicholson. I look forward with great optimism to the 1977 football sea- son. Coach J.

The homecoming game was held at Chin field against Bonanza. During half-time ceremonies Karen Walker was crowned 1976 Homecoming Queen. Her court consisted of Doreen Hill, Laura Rupert, and Ellen Haley. After defeating Bonanza, a dance was held at Lost River for the students and alumni. Entertainment was provided by Stonegates.

The team was very young this year, comprised mostly of Freshmen. We had the disadvantage of being the only Class A team in the county, thus competing against AA and AAA schools. The girls worked diligently to improve their strength, grace, and poise on each piece of apparatus. All the girls excelled in learning new tumbling stunts and moves. With the majority of girls coming back next fall, our season should prove to be very exciting. Coach Karol McGee 57 G y m n a s i s i n A c t i o n On December 7, 1976 a Jog-a-thon was held at Lost River High School for the purpose of raising money to help improve the track and field facilities at the school. All participants ran as many lap� as possible in one hour’s time. Gordon Beasly ran the most laps with 34 or 8Yi miles. As a result of the literally hundreds of people who pledged and donated money to this project, we now have $8,700 in the bank drawing interest. I would personally wish to thank all the students, faculty members, and community members who were so kind to help us in this endeavor. It is my hope that Lost River will receive an all-weather track surface in the very near future. 59 Mr. Jim Guscette 61 Ski Club Due to the fact that there was a lack of snow this past winter, the winter activities for the Lost River Ski Club were minimal. Fortunately, on March 13, 1977 the club motored to Mt. Bachelor for a super day of powder snow skiing. During the year, the club had a raffle to raise money in order to pay for the ski bus. It is the dream of all 40 Ski club members that next year will provide us with an overabundant amount of snow! So this summer - think snow for next winter! 62 63 64 65 Freshman Rally Pep Club and Cheerleaders This year was a big challenge for the pep club and cheerleaders. The spirit around Lost River was in need of improvement, so they tried to raise the enthusiasm in school by different activities, such as slumber parties, spirit weeks, pep assemblies, skits, class competitions, and a breakfast for athletes. I was very proud of the pep club and cheerleaders for they worked and helped to promote much needed school spirit at Lost River High School. 66 Cheri Carlson, Advisor Dance Team ii --j a 4% ■ - Hv W'V V iud Vuitifr ■ AUJ iv� iM 1'' .']) Vh ■ it} T TTarl n � 4 5’ nil! .

The Raider JV Basketball team finished their season with a fine 15-3 record. The team's overall success stemmed rom many different reasons; hardwork. poise, and dedication, but most importantly, a team concept in which everyone contributed. Lost River fans will see many fine, young athletes in the upcoming years. Coach D.

Although the season started slow, they made up for it in the end. J. V. basketball is always a learning experience and this year proved to be no exception. With each game, the girls gained confidence, skill, and dexterity. If these girls continue to play ball, Lost River should have a very good ball team in the future. Coach K.

Two F.F.A. members, Judy Chapman and Janine Cosand, went back to Kansas for the National F.F.A. Convention. Five members went to State Convention in Pendle- ton, Oregon during Spring Vaca- tion. For fun we played Tulelake F.F.A. in volleyball, winning all our games. We also played basket- ball with the Henley F.F.A. and won both of the games. Our F.F.A. attended some F.F.A. contests including District skills contest, District Livestock judging contest, and District tractor driving. We had a booth at the Potato Fes- tival selling cotton candy and snow- cones and F.F.A. books, The Growing of America ' We raffled off two turkeys at the Potato Festi- val, also. We had a Snowball Dance which made a lot of money. However, the night of the dance the band failed to show up until eleven o’clock.

This was it, Parent-Student Switch Day; the parents’ day to use their minds while their son or daughter stayed home. The parents got a better insight on how the school is run, even though ’’valuable” school time was lost trying to find class- rooms and open lockers. All in all the day turned out very interesting.

Speech Communicating by means of speech is the specific objective in this class. Good speech skills give students more confidence in themselves and in their dealings with other people. Students have become more adept in making their ideas clearly understood by others. Lost River students did particularly well this year in speech activities. The O.I.T. invitational tournament was the first competitive meet that was entered. Many large schools attended this event; consequently. Lost River students and their coach felt proud and greatly rewarded when they placed first at the tournament and received a beautiful trophy. The district speech tournament was held at Lost River and was equally as gratifying for the speech department when ten qualified for entries at the state tournament in La Grande, Oregon in April. Speech students worked diligently this year and enjoyed a variety of worthwhile experience. As a coach. I was extremely proud of this department. Mildred Tofell, Advisor 92 Back: S. Kenyon, L.

Besides selling ads the staff also bought a new camera and bought a buttonmaker and sold buttons. The phrase, quality not quantity, really applied to the staff this year as we were only eight strong.

Beasly 96 97 The Lost River Jazz Choir introduced a new chapter in the history book of music this year. The season began early with the group providing the entertainment for the Potato Festival Banquet. After several more successful performances, this fine organi- zation had acquired such a reputation that it received a special invitation to perform for the Vice Presidential Rally for Senator Bob Dole, winning special praise from him. For the first time the Jazz Choir entered competition in the Show-Pop Division at the Reno International Jazz Festival. Judging is based upon music, choreography, lighting, costuming, and stage presentation. Against schools of up to 1200 enrollment, they placed third. In addition they rated sixth in the Jazz Division. These fine musi- cians will long be remembered for their musical superiority, spirit, and enthusiasm. The Lost River Swing Choir consisted of fine young singers who were originally assembled as a training group for the Jazz Choir. It took very little time for the group to assert itself as a competitive group in its own right. By the end of the year, the quality of the Swing Choir was such as to compete with the very best in Klamath County and rates the group as one of the most improved in the history of Lost River High School.

Molly Hart SENIOR This season was extremely successful for the L.R.H.S. girls' track team. As a team, they did well and won many invitationals as well as the District Champion- ship. The season was topped off with the winning of the State championship team title. In the process, we set the state meet record in the 440 Relay, with the team of Lisa Nicholson, Nancy O'Neil, Rhonda Day,and Molly Hart running 50.7. Lisa Nicholson was an individual winner in the high jump at 5'3 . Georgee Pappe was selected Most Improved, and Rhonda Day the Top Performer. We lose one very good Senior, Molly Hart, but return everyone else to what we hope will be another State Champion track team at Lost River. Coach J. Guscette Boys' Track and Field o Track Karl Scronce Morgan Winebarger Devin Travis Boys' Track This year was undoubtedly the best track season the Lost River boys have ever had. For the first time ever, the boys won a track meet and also set nine school records. Ten boys were lettered including Seniors Jeff Nichol- son, Karl Scronce, Devin Travis, Morgan Winebarger, and Tom Flesher. Freshman Monte Campbell topped our season with a third place finish at the state meet in the mile run. He finished the season running the 880 and mile faster than any Class A Freshman boy. Jeff Nicholson was selected Most Improved and Monte Campbell the Top Performer. Boys' Track and Field really got off the ground this year at Lost River and we are looking forward to bigger and better things next year. Coach J. Guscette Seniors 114 115 San Francisco On April 28, 1977 twelve senior cultural foods students, plus four chaperones, invaded San Francisco via Amtiak for three adventurous days. During our stay, the students ate at various ethnic restaurants including: French, Italian, Mexi- can, Chinese, and Hungarian. It was our pleasure to tour a few of the kitchens while eating at the restaurants. The pur- pose of the trip was to see other cultures within our own envi- ronments, and to experience new adventures and careers that are available in a large city. Miss Cheri Carlson 18 119 120 122 Mrs. Mildred Tofell The Seniors of 1977 were graduated on the evening of May 31. Speakers for the evening were Cheri Chin, Tom Flesher, Steve Kenyon, and Morgan Winebarger. Previous to the commencement services, seniors entertained their parents at a dessert where they also presented their mothers with corsages. Color schemes for the evening were Gold and Black. Beauty baskets of white mums, yellow gladioli, daisies, and gold candelabra enhanced the background for the seniors who wore gold and black caps and gowns. The motto, The journey of a thousand miles, must begin with a single step,’ decorated the wall. Students graduating with high honors were Robin Brechtel, Cheri Chin, Louise Alvis, David Eagle, Morgan Wine- barger, Ellen Haley, and Kevin Clark. Lost River extends congratulations to the seniors, may all your hopes be realized. A Journey of a Must Begin With Thousand Miles a Single Step Qcrapbook Because we work for you. 1930 S.
