F rom club activities and special occasions, to homework assignments and athletic events, a greater concentration on the basics was evident in 1978. The mood was one of dedication to learning, whether in the classroom or on the field; a re-learning of the fundamentals that had been loosing importance in past years. With these basics in mind, the yearbook staff collected what they considered to be the 78 most significant fundamentals of the school year. These fundamentals are presented in the form of a text which is divided into the traditional yearbook chapters, titled The Student Life, The Classroom, The Sports and The People. Presented on the next page is a list of the 78 Fundamentals that named, as well as formed, the structure of the 1977-78 school year. 7 J.W.R. A.B. C.J.E. E.M.F.

A new twist to an old tradition, the homecoming parade, sparked a feeling of interest in activities early in the fall. Breaking with pattern of the past to hold the parade in the evening, faculty and students paraded down Third Street in McMinnville at noontime-immediately after the traditional homecoming assembly. Rally and pep band members assumed traditional roles early in the year. Before they knew it, however, they found themselves involved supporting the Grizzly crowd at the state basketball tournament in Portland. Budding organizations, such as Key Club and M-Club, grew in number. Members worked to sponsor several major events. Student Body officers led the Student Senate in traditional duties and added a service project to their list of responsibilities. The Thespians were not content to perform exclusively on the McMinnville stage and accepted an invitation to take their spring show on the road-all the way to Indiana. The year of innovations came to an end with the family barbecue, once a father-son barbecue and separate mother-daughter tea. Families enjoyed activities together in this new way to keep an old tradition. 78 Center Division Page Photo: MHS spectators cheer Bears to a state playoff victory. 1.

The sophomores won the banner competition at Friday’s pep assembly. The enthusiastic crowd twice came to their feet — first, as Princess Corinne was crowned 1977 Homecoming Queen and then as she knighted team captains John Heiser, Randy Wall, and Bill Dale. Players and fans joined ranks after the assembly to follow the Queen and her court in a traditional noise parade through McMinnville, to the surprise of the downtowners. Jim Cushing introduced the Queen and her court at the U.S. National Bank mall at twelve o’clock. Later, spirits rose as fans burned an effigy of a lion in a cage at the bonfire.

Student Senate tudent Senate sponsored Twerp Week capped off a variety of projects sponsored by the Associated Student Body Officers and student senators. The group supported a Coast Valley League service project. MHS students entertained children at the Shriners’ Hospital for crippled children in Portland. This project was followed by a similar project locally — a visit to Carousel Nursing Home. Students visited with invalids in their rooms and members of the drama troupe entertained patients at lunch. Twerp Week, under the direction of newly elected officers, was the final activity of the year for the group. In an effort to spark student body assistance in planning weekly activities, officers circulated a ballot which allowed students to choose the five most favorite types of dress-up days. Results of the voting found an addition to the traditionally popular days — Saturday Night Live Day. Student participation in the various events was moderate, however, until the ever-popular Greaser Day on Friday. In dress of the 50’s, students picnicked during one longer lunch period and danced to tunes from the rock and roll era. 78 39 25. Junior Senior Prom Decorations Echo Theme “Reflections Of Spring” ools of water and mirrored decorations echoed the THEME — Reflections of Spring — of the Junior-Senior Prom. Dillin Hall on the Linfield College campus, site of the dance, was transformed by juniors into a garden paradise. Cherry blossoms bedecked the entrance arbor. In every corner of the room, couples found shrubs, dogwood trees, and flowers accenting picturesque dutch windmills and patio furnishings. The group, Sapphire, returned, after an enthusiastically received performance at the Christmas Dance, to provide music for the evening. While some couples danced, others posed for pictures, chatted at candlelit tables, or enjoyed refreshments. During a break, the Prom court was introduced and presented with gifts. Teresa Charbonnier was crowned Queen. Shortly thereafter, couples left for Michelbook Country Club where tables of food awaited the hungry dancers at the after the prom party. 78 Above: Several senior couples move to the music of Sapphire Left: Jeff White-head and Susan Ault dance to a tune of the Bee Gees.

Starring Jason Yurgel in the highly philosophical role of Henry David Thoreau, the play was selected — according to Director Jack Watson — for the “respectable balance of male and female parts.’ A cast of twenty, assisted by various technical crews, rehearsed for eight weeks prior to the opening night. Authentic period costumes were designed by Mrs. Carol Scofield, McMinnville Junior High drama coach. Seniors David Patton and David Price composed and performed music for the production. Proceeds from the performances were used to help finance the troupe’s trip to Muncie, Indiana for the International Theater Arts Conference where they performed, once again. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. Thespians sponsored many other fundraising events — including rummage sales, car washes, and a carnival — to help raise the $9300 necessary to attend the conference. 78 Henry David Thoreau (Jason Yurgel) confronts Ellen Sewall (Melissa Royer) and John (Eddie Rissberger).

These new MHS students noted a desire for a “disciplined,” and an “orderly” environment where all students seriously worked at the chores at hand. These were the classrooms at McMinnville High School in 1978. Selection of classes by students reflected, too, the desire to take advantage of the many opportunities at McMinnville High. The English classes which stressed the basics seldom had an empty seat. Seniors rapidly filled places in the advanced classes in science and math. The large number of students inducted into the National Business Honor Society was proof of the outstanding achievement of many in business, accounting, and clerical skills classes. Students balanced their schedules with courses in home economics, art, vocational arts, and music in efforts to perfect their talents in each of these areas of study. The classrooms of 1978 were not necessarily the same as those in years past. “Back to the Basics” defined, rather, a new look at the opportunities available to students in MHS classrooms — opportunities to develop basic skills in many areas and to prepare for a rapidly changing future. 78 yOfijjjffiif Center Division Page Photo: Students In Typing I master the basics of the keyboard in timed assignment. 32.

Right: Mark Spurger checks out a magazine from library aide, Mrs. Creeno. rom the reading of recipe instructions in home economics to the researching of topics for history assignments, students found reading a basic tool for success in nearly every area of high school study. English courses offered a variety of opportunities for improving basic skills in reading. The long list of English electives included the required Sophomore Communications classes, as well as Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Seminars, Short Story, Science Fiction, Specialized Literature, and Media. Enrollment was heavy in the Senior and Junior College Prep classes which were added to the English program this year. More reading was expected in these classes than in traditional, required courses. In the reading lab, students were afforded the opportunity to develop specialized skills for more effective reading in such courses as Developmental Speed Reading, Basic Communications, and Reading Clinic. 78 Above: Dave Patton and John Grimm take time out before finishing textbook reading assignment Left: Mary Helm and Sheri Confer spend leisure time reading a favorite magazine in the library 49 33.

Roger scored seventh in the annual statewide examination. For his high ranking on the test, Roger was named to the National Honor Roll with ten other Oregon students. He was also named to the Oregon Honor Roll for the 1978 test. The National Honor Society student, who transferred from Tillamook in the fall, attended calculus classes at Linfield College throughout the year. Roger tied for eighth place at the Third Annual Mathematic Competition sponsored by the University of Portland. The National Merit Finalist achieved, also, perfect scores on the math section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Level II Achievement Test in mathematics.

Twilighters Record Sound Track For Commercial Twilighters experienced an ultimate high — actually recording the sound track for a commercial about milk. The opportunity came as a result of an invitation from Kris Dunn, MHS alum and budding filmmaker. Dunn and Brian Willis, also an graduate of McMinnville High, composed the music which was used for the one minute sound track of the television commercial. Twilighters received the music the week before recording and worked with Dunn and Willis to get the sound which they had imagined when they wrote the music. The recording session for the one minute of music lasted for two strenuous hours. “The whole experience gave us an idea of what it’s really like to make a recording,” noted Director Doug Anderson. “In all my years of teaching, I don’t think we’ve done anything more rewarding or educational.” 78 40.

Mrs. Bell, who had only recently begun the study of the art of papermaking, instructed students in the basics of her technique. Recycled paper, raw linen, and glue were mixed in a blender, poured into special screens, submerged in water, and finally pressed and blotted between pieces of felt. Students themselves experimented with various textures and colors, coming up with interesting results. With the use of lamination and embossing, they found that a piece of paper could be a work of art in itself. Later, students in painting classes used their “homemade” paper for some watercolor paintings and found that the workshop had given them a better understanding of the material with which they worked. 78 Top: Using a blotter, Lillian Bell helps Rod Clark with the drying process —a last step in paper-making.

The assortment of techniques and materials used for the projects were as diversified, however, as the girls who made them. Some girls employed handstitching and traditional methods, while others tried modern techniques such as Sarasa and Trapunto. In both Meals for Two and Family Meals, the two foods classes taught by Mrs. Simonsen, the emphasis was on economy. “We stressed learning to make a meal from leftovers — from anything that might be in the cupboard —in Meals for Two,” noted the instructor. Similarly in Family Meals, students learned to substitute less expensive items for the more expensive counterparts. In recent years, boys have learned the advantages of foods classes. Both Family Meals and Meals for Two had to be closed to boys, in order that girls could have a chance to enroll. 78 43. Cooking Top Right: George Vincent.

Physical Education Activities M ANY SENIORS started the day with physical activity in Senior Coed P.E. Although physical education was not a requirement for MHS seniors, the early morning class — taught by Coach Nick Robertson — was a favorite elective for many seniors. Mr. Robertson noted that emphasis in the class was placed on building skills for a variety of “individual sport activities.” Boys and girls together enjoyed instruction in bowling, archery, tennis, badminton, golf, swimming, basketball, volleyball, flag football, and softball. “I thought that the class was really great,” commented Bel Garcez, AFS student from Brazil. She went on to point out that “in my country we don’t have such a thing as coed P.E. classes.” 78 Top: Tori Comstock enjoys a laugh with Coach Nick Robertson while watching softball game in Senior Coed P.E.

Concerned that not enough students were using career and post-high school information available, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Chamberlain put together a competency office, work experience office, CIS computer terminal, and career related library in the center. Mr. Chamberlain pointed out that “as many as 120 students came into the center each day.’’ Students in Personal Finance classes used the center, also, as a resource area. Mr. Chamberlain worked, too, with other teachers in the county to sponsor a Career Information Fair. Lectures and displays were presented to students from all Yamhill County high schools at the Armory in McMinnville. Represented along with the larger local companies were public service professions and the armed forces. The fair served to give students a better idea of the job market in Yamhill County and gave employers a chance to survey potential employees. 78 50.

Teams Report To Government Agencies IRSTHAND experience in the governmental process came to students in Mr. Chuck Biederman’s Community, State and Nation classes as the result of an unusual alternative to the traditional homework assignments. Five teams of students elected to research issues of concern to Yamhill County residents Preliminary requirements of the typical assignment included making phone calls to and conducting interviews with government officials. Students also polled the community with public opinion surveys. After the data was gathered, students testified before various government agencies including the Yamhill County Commissioners and Yamhill County Housing Authority. Topics for research by the five groups included The Future of Eola Village, Public Transportation in Yamhill County, Land Conservation and Development, Federally Funded Energy Administration, and Youth Jobs and Crime Prevention. Mr. Biederman noted that the data gathered was taken into serious consideration by the government officials. He commented, “My hat is off to the students on these panels for for all their hard work and dedication.” 7« 67 54.

According to instructor, Mr. Dean Wimer, students raised plant with a total value of more than $1,000. MHS students were able to find special gifts in the Mac High greenhouse for such holiday occasions as Christmas and Mother’s Day. The class undertook an additional project of raising plants to be sold at the annual Newby School PTS sale. Although space and temperature conditions limited experimentation somewhat, budding horticulturists planted and raised a wide variety of both indoor and outdoor plants. Charged with the responsibility of pricing their products, students also acquired expertise in marketing skills. Several students noted that after planting and nurturing the young plants it was often difficult to decide whether to keep them or to put them up for sale. 78 58.

Traditions Continue At New Site For Outdoor School 1 RESTLE GLEN, the name of the camp synonymous with McMinnville Outdoor School for twelve years, became a thing of the past as high school counselors arrived at the new site for the week-long program at Drift Creek. The new location did not alter the experiences in store for high schoolers or sixth graders. As the first yellow school bus pulled in the camp ground, high school students greeted the sixth graders with the famous welcome song. Field study continued much as usual, although there were some different plants for study in the new area. Donning his track shorts, Vernon Lilja carried the torch to light the first campfire at Drift Creek. In keeping with tradition, counselors carried candles and serenaded the sixth graders on the final night of each of the two sessions. District 40 staff and high school students autographed field study manuals, autograph books, and even wood slabs in the frenzied moments before the sixth graders departed — with tears in their eyes, is Top: On the final day of outdoor school, Teresa “Aja” Charbonnier autographs the cast of a grade schooler.

Symbolizing the achievement of all athletes throughout the year, the Mac High Varsity Basketball Team entered the Oregon State AAA Basketball Tournament as Coast Valley League Champions. The four thrilling games in Portland’s Memorial Coliseum brought statewide attention to McMinnville fans and athletes. In the opening round of the 1978 Oregon AAA Basketball Tournament, the Mac High team challenged the Churchill Lancers to a tough duel that ended with a Grizzly triumph. The game, a classic, marked the longest game in the 60-year history of the tournament with a record four overtimes. It wasn’t until the final second of the fourth overtime that the Bears’ foes finally admitted defeat. “We hadn’t been in a close game or overtime all year. I guess this made up for it,” commented Coach Nick Robertson after the Bears’ marathon victory. Charles Sitton’s 37 career-high points and Pat Garlock’s deft ball handling paved the way for the Grizzlies. Then, it was Senior Burt Goss, who clinched the win. Cashing in a pair of shots in the third overtime, Goss brought the game into the fourth and final encounter. Fouled on the winning jump shot from the corner —in the last second of the game —Goss converted the free-throw to a victorious three-point play and a game score of 69-66. The tournament’s first shocker came as the Bears fell prey to the Centennial Eagles in a second round upset. The Eagles defense cut off virtually all the Bear’s power. Fourth quarter action found the Bears trimming the Eagle’s lead four different times to two points. Despite this last minute rally, the Bears could not surpass the first-half advantage held by the Eagles and admitted a 51-48 defeat. M ac High Bears led from wire to wire in the third tournament game against the Beaverton High School Beavers. With Pat Garlock leading the fast break and Charles Sitton dropping in 28 points, the Bears held the Beavers at bay. Taking advantage of McMinnville foul trouble, the Beavers cut the fourth quarter 11-point Bear advantage to four. The Bears, however, refused defeat. Grant Meicho, Larry Jones, and Burt Goss countered with pressure free throws to hold off the Beaver threat and to post a 73-66 victory. M he Bears battled their way to a 39-38 triumph over the Marshfield Pirates in the fourth and final game for MHS at the state tourney. A battle from start to finish, McMinnville held a five-point lead at the end of first-half action. The advantage switched ten times in the second-half. The Pirates, who entered the tournament ranked second to Class AAA Champions Parkrose, could not hold back the mighty Grizzlies. In the final seconds of the game, every eye in Memorial Coliseum focused on Senior John Grimm. Fouled by a Pirate, Grimm swished two free throws to clinch the Bears’ victory with six seconds left to play. At the evening ceremonies. Team Captain Jim Cushing accepted the Fourth Place trophy for the team — the first in Mac High basketball history. Officials also announced the pick of MHS Sophomore Charles Sitton, the leading tournament scorer and rebounder, to the First Team All-Tournament. 78 Center Division Page Photo: Senior Burt Goss shoots from the corner in Oregon AAA Basketball Tournament at Memorial Coliseum.

After a year of preparation and planning, the original 26 member team was cut to include Coach Elsberry, Larry Barnett, Blake Kelly, Hans Rieder, Ken Williams, Paul Schmidt, and one girl, Tammy Wilson. Leaving McMinnville on June 8th, the group — averaging 40-45 miles per day — arrived in Emmett 12 days later. n Above: Breezing down Three Mile Lane, team members take a last look at McMinnville.

The Grizzlies were on the way to another winning season. After the first win over the Huskies from Sweet Home, the team went on to stomp Canby and Molalla. Breaking this winning streak, Forest Grove and Dallas stopped the Grizzlies dead in their tracks. Lack on consistency in offense hurt the squad. They just could not seem to find the right formula to get things going. The excellent defense, however, managed to hold most opponents to a slow game. Despite many setbacks. Coach Don Mabee molded another winning team as the Grizzlies finished the season with a 6-3 record. The final victory over Estacada marked the 220th career victory for the Grizzly mentor. The Roy Jesperson Award for the Best Junior Player went to Dan Wheeler. John Heiser received the Tom Allison Award for Best Defensive Player and Randy Wall captured the Orile Robbins trophy for Most Inspirational Player. John Heiser and Bill Dale were both named to the first team all-league as linebacker and offensive guard, respectively. ?g Hard hitting Grizzly defense line headed by Bill Dale and Randy Wall descends on the St. Helens Lions.

Coach Nick Robertson led the Junior Varsity Football team to a respectable 4-3 season record. The Cubs ran over Molalla in the convincing, first game of the year. The small and quick gridders showed promise in the offensive department, but needed time and experience to reach their full potential. It was a maturing season as the young cubs fought hard to improve and became stronger in the last games. Standout rushers were Mike Barnes, Mark Carl, and Randy Motsinger. Defensive honors, however, were shared by many on the sophomore-dominated team. 78 McMinnville 30 Mollala Opponents 8 6 Canby 12 14 Astoria 19 22 Newberg 16 14 Forest Grove 41 40 St. Helens 30 16 Dallas 12 Won 4 Lost 3 Followed by St. Helens defender, Mark Carl gains yardage.

Only four of the nine girls from McMinnville were from the high school. It was a young team. “It’s difficult to keep morale up when facing so much-experience,” said Coach Tammy Perry. She also noted that the “girls did a wonderful job.” 78 Above: Kallie Anderson finishes a performance on the vault with a strong dismount Below Center: Kathy Allison displays coordination and skill — essentials on the uneven bars.

Although individual skills were excellent, the team lacked experience in competition at the varsity level. Only one varsity letterman, Kathy Behrend, returned from the previous season. This inexperience coupled with the lack of height put the team at a great disadvantage in several games. “Yet through sheer determination and team effort,” the McMinnville netters proved to be “a formidable opponent that would not easily admit defeat,” said Coach Brown. The highlight of the girls’ season came when McMinnville was invited to the Jackson High School Volleyball Invitational Tournament where they played against seven Portland schools. Working its way to the top, the team captured the first place trophy by ousting its host, the Jackson Raiders, 15-6 and 15-2. 78 Varsity Volleyball Team: Beth Craig. Kathy Steber, Lori Martin.

Hilary Hafner, and Adele Hofrichter placed first in the 4 x 100 Freestyle Relay. Hilary Hafner, also, placed second in the 200 yard Freestyle, Beth Craig swam to second place in the Breaststroke, and Eve Fuller won the second place decision in the 50 yard Freestyle.

Sophs, JVs Hustle To Win Mastery of the basic skills along with hard aggressive hustle turned a shaky sophomore basketball squad into league champions with a 16-5 all around record. Losing four of the first five ballgames, the young cubs began awkwardly. “We were shaky at first, but we were patient and came out on top,” said Coach Rick Hassman. John Toomer led the Bears to the 15-1 championship record. Beginning the season with the loss of seven out of ten games, the Junior Varsity Bears improved. “They played good, sound basketball,” commented Coach Ross Peterson. The team went on to win the last five straight ballgames. According to Coach Peterson, it was “hard work and determination” which brought the squad to an 11-11 season record. Led by Randy Shockey, the team exhibited strong defense and tenacity. A key to the team’s defense was George Vincent. “His hustle and leadership” gave the squad a boost in the second half of play, noted Coach Peterson. The team boasted a second Ed Rissberger makes three point play. victory Over Astoria, an accomplishment of no other league team. 7« Sophomore Basketball Team: Coach Rick Hassman. Randy Motsinger.

Bears Win CVL Title, Ticket To State Red Hot and Rollin’ was the slogan for McMinnville’s 1977-78 Varsity Basketball Team. It was a season of excitement and glory for the team, the school, and the community. After beating North Salem in the season opener, the Bears traveled to Bend and Redmond. Stopping up Grizzly play inside the key, Redmond defeated Mac. Thoroughly recuperated from this loss, the Bears bounced back with a resounding win over Bend. The next night they followed up by annihilating Jackson High. The Bear’s fourth game brought number one ranked Parkrose to the Grizzly court. The Bears held their own during the first half, but second half action saw the advantage go to Parkrose. South Salem was the last pre-season game of the year; and, as a token of things to come, the Bears routed the Saxons 73-49. The scene for the Grizzly league opener was set with both McMinnville and the opponent. Sweet Home, picked to win their sides of the league. Mac rose to the occasion by beating the Huskies —the first of a 19 game winning streak. Complete with a perfect 16-0 league record, the Bears traveled to David Douglas to challenge the Estacada Rangers for the league championship. With a sound defeat over Estacada, McMinnville captured the Coast Valley League title, and a ticket to the Oregon State AAA Playoffs. The Grizzly squad was led by seniors Pat Garlock and John Grimm, who always managed to come up with a steal or a scoring play. Another big factor in the Bear’s game was sophomore center Charles Sitton who led the team in scoring and rebounding. Providing excellent outside shooting when the Bears were unable to feed Sitton underneath, Burt Goss added an extra dimension to the game. 78 89 Grapplers Post Strong Records Led by seven returning lettermen, Grizzly grapplers finished the season with a 12-13-1 record in dual meet competition.

Eighty two students filled the ranks in varsity and junior varsity events at the season’s start. The team boasted achievements in many boys’ and girls’ events with members breaking ten school records in the course of the season. The All Star Team — composed of those placing 1st or 2nd in four events in a given meet — included Larry Barnett, Joyce Harmon, and Doug Rauen. Taking second in district, Doug Rauen qualified for state competition in the Intermediate Hurdles. Another first for the track team in 1978 came with ninth graders joining the high school squad. “The large number of ninth graders added a great depth to the team in every aspect of competition, ’ noted Coach Ron Elsberry.

The local celebrities circled the cinder track as many as 39 times — almost ten miles — in the hour long portion of the event. Proceeds from the jog-a-thon went to the fund for a new rubberized track at the school. Jim Ryun, three time Olympic runner and current American record holder in the mile, flew from his home in California to lead the celebrities around the track. Ryun also spoke to Mac Track Club members and gave pointers to those interested in jogging. 7« Followed by local celebrities,” Olympic athlete Jim Ryun runs in the Mac Track Club sponsored jog-a-thon.

Parents and students joined ranks to help raise funds for the trip. Most popular of the fundraisers was, once again, the annual Crab Feed. In the school cafeteria, guests stood in line to receive generous portions of crab or shrimp, potato salad, and all the trimmings. Assisting the group with the trip was local owner of Evergreen Helicopters, Del Smith. Mr. Smith provided the team with round trip transportation to Arizona — direct from the McMinnville airport. Upon their return, team members presented Mr. Smith with a plaque, thanking him for his support of the Mac High Baseball Team 7 Above Left: McMinnville baseball players and fans pause for a picture during the trip to Arizona.

A win would have meant the chance to battle the Fishermen for a berth in the state playoffs. The Forest Grove Vikings, however, put an end to these hopes by defeating the Bruins in a close 6-4 game. The Mac team held Forest Grove scoreless in the first time at bat and scored three runs for the early 3-0 lead. By the end of the fourth inning, the score was tied at 3-3. The Bruins retook the lead in the fifth inning with one run. Finally, the Vikings came alive with three runs in the sixth, and the McMinnville squad was unable to score in their last time at bat. John Grimm and Mark Fisler led the team’s hitting — Grimm at .382, 28 hits for 76 times at bat; Fisler at .336, with 26 for 79. John Grimm was named to the All State Team at the season’s end. 78 Junior Larry Jones readies and winds up for the pitch. 76.

This pride emerged in a variety of events — accomplishments of groups and individuals. The community, too, found a special pride in supporting high school events: hundreds of McMinnvillans proved to be Grizzly fans during the state basketball tournament. Evergreen Helicopters made it possible for the baseball team to go to Arizona. It was a year of travelling for many groups. The Twilighters visited San Francisco. Other students went to Ashland to view the plays at the Shakespearean theater. The bands and Concert Choir made trips through Washington. A few new students came to McMinnville from distant countries — from Brazil, West Germany, France, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Thailand. At home and away, these experiences fostered a new perspective for all participants. A sense of pride was shown in other areas as well. During the majority of assemblies, visiting speakers praised the courtesy and enthusiasm of the students as an audience. About the halls, more dressy clothes made their appearance next to the ever-popular jeans. As the school year drew to a close, the people of 1978 looked back with pride in the many fond memories of the school year. 78 Changing Attitudes Associated Student Body Officers Jim Cushing, President Jodi Harding, Secretary Coach Valley League Secretary Judy Peirce, Vice President Theresa Markuson, Treasurer Senior Class Officers Donagene Anderson, President Julie Sektnan, Vice President Anne Le Francois, Secretary-Treasurer Junior Class Officers Jeff Geissler, President Colin Van Uchelen, Vice President Susan Ault, Secretary-Treasurer Sophomore Class Officers John Toomer, President Kim Kinion, Vice President Kellie Silva, Secretary-Treasurer Center Division Page Photo: MHS sophomore, Susan Brentano. puts the finishing touches on the Grizzly logo In the newly painted, red and white, gymnasium. School Board Reduces Competency Requirements 1 n the past, school board actions often went unnoticed by MHS students. Such was not the case this year as ASB School Board Representatives Dave Carstensen and Ken Williams returned from school board meetings to report to the Student Senate many topics considered by the board. Seniors, in particular, greeted one school board action with great enthusiasm. In February, the District 40 Board reduced the number of minimum competencies required of seniors for graduation from 62 to 15. The board accepted a recommendation of the Graduation Requirements Committee to require fewer competencies of graduates until ASB School Board Representative David Carstensen reports high school events to the school board. 1981. 78 School District 40 Board of Education: Seated - Dona Blensley.

Principal Tom Chapman met weekly with the seven member Faculty Action Committee. The group — including Mrs. Bowman. Mrs. Bower, Mrs. Hansen, Mr. Hassmann, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. Watson — called attention to problems within the school and offered advice to the administration. Under the direction of Vice Principal Ted Marr, the Attendance Committee met at the end of each quarter to review appeals by students who were failing as a result of poor attendance. Eight teachers and two students assumed duties on this committee. Mr. Butchart and Mrs. Prosise were elected by the faculty to serve on the Superintendent's Advisory Council. These high school representatives met with the superintendent, Dr. Orval Ause, once each month to discuss concerns of both the faculty and administration in the district. is Above: A chief organizer of Red.

When cashing a check at the U. S. National Bank or shopping at Safeway, one was greeted by tellers and clerks sporting Grizzly T-Shirts. Billboards all around wished success to the team as they departed for Portland. On the afternoon of the first game, traffic stood still in Mac as loud speakers on Third Street broadcast the game to all who happened by. Little business activity took place; customers and clerks were too busy listening to the game. Finally, after the breathtaking fourth overtime, the city came alive again. Many McMinnvillans traveled to Portland to witness first-hand the exciting action of the state tourney. At the fourth place playoff game on Saturday, red and white pom poms, Grizzly shirts, and red jackets testified to the community support in all areas of Memorial Coliseum. Grizzly-mania reached a peak with a noon time parade honoring the team. A large crowd gathered as Coach Nick Robertson, the team, and rally squad accepted gifts at the downtown mall. 78 Laden with balloons, the McMinnville Fire Department’s antique truck leads the victory parade. 156 Mac supporters span generations in the crowd at Portland’s Memorial Coliseum. MJairip kPueen RED HOT GRIZZLIES KEEP ROLLING p 157 The Afterword A Closing Review T he editors of the 1978 edition of The McMinnvillan have recorded for the people of McMinnville High School — in word and picture — the 1978 school year. The people of 1978 were pictured keeping traditions, mastering the basics, and building skills together. The text included coverage of seventy-eight fundamental activities, organizations, classrooms, and sports which shaped the moods, spirits, and patterns of 1978. Graduates, processing in final review before family and friends, marked the last step in this series of high school experiences — experiences basic to the American way of life. 78 THE END J. W. R. A.
