11-state honors to 5 musicians The music department completed a very satisfying year with fine bands who played extremely well. Much of this success is attributed to a strong sophomore class, considered “one of the best ever,” by Mr. Kevin McGillivray. The bands did not place in the top three at their major competitive festival, but according to Mr. McGillivray, “they played very well, and faced much stiffer competition than in previous years.” Their many engagements included performances at the Willamette Valley League festival, the University of Portland, and the Mt. Hood Community College Jazz Festival. Three outstanding band members, Brian Parker, Kaye Carlson, and Mike Elsberry, were selected to be in the All-State Band for its concerts on February 12, 13, and 14. Another impressive band ember, Steve Shaffer, was honored with a standing ovation for one of his solos during a band concert. The orchestra had exceptional talent and was larger than it had been for several years. Orchestra activities included participation in both the Willamette Valley League festival and the Pops concert in November, the WVL orchestra contest in February, and other spring appearances at the grade schools and the high school. Although all members of the orchestra were outstanding musicians, Maria Crouser and Kirsten Van Dyk were selected to play in the All-State Symphony Orchestra in February. Below: Brian Parker.

N ew advisor for Honor Society The purpose of National Honor Society is to recognize students who excel in school. Membership is a strong reference to a student’s character and provides an incentive for consistant academic achievement and service to the school. The society embraces high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. A student must display each of these qualities to be considered for membership in the NHS. Past advisors, Mr. Ben Schaad and Mrs. Pat Jones were both honored at the spring tapping for their years of dedicated service and commitment to the Honor Society. Replacing Mr. Schaad and Mrs. Jones were Mr. Jack Knapp as advisor and Mrs. Barbara Stout as ssistant advisor respectively. This was Mr. Knapp's first ex- perience in advising an Honor Society. However, Mr. Knapp enjoyed this experience and had these comments, “I was very impressed with the quality of the people with whom I was able to Mark Root work. I felt that the senior class was an exceptional group of people and the teachers were sensitive to the potential of National Honor Society.” The Honor Society held a fall tapping during which seniors Above Left: Gary Squires welcomes students and faculty to the fall tapping of the NHS.

In the spring, an assembly was held to tap juniors completing the 1982 National Honor Society. Throughout the year, the members worked in the school concession stand during break, after school, and at basketball games. In April, they lent their support to the annual blood drive. Working with the Student Council, the NHS participated in “Senior Citizen Day”, a day in which senior citizens were given tours of the high school by club members and informed about the high school curriculum and activities. April 19 was the induction ceremony which officially inducted the members who were tapped into the Honor Society this year.
