Here we 2 Organizations 76 Athletics 106 Advertising 128 Index 139 yet it’s different. In empty hallways, the laughter and confu-learned the principles of democracy — here we became individuals. We were typical all American” teenagers — we dressed alike, wore our hair the same, danced the Twist”, witnessed manned orbital shots, ate pizza pie, put off doing homework, wore short skirts, and observed J.F. Kennedy’s first year in office. Over the years we kept our minds busy acquiring new knowledge about our world, though what the future held for us was unknown. Among our classmates and friends we saw prospective ministers, nurses, homemakers, loggers, and artists. We were individuals; yet, in mass, we composed the student body of Myrtle Point High School. 3 ACTIVITIES, SPORTS, ACADEMICS, CONTRIBUTE The school will little note or long remember what we said here, but it can never forget what we did here.” With this revised quotation, and in traditional senior supremacy, members of the graduating class of 1962 curtailed their stay at MPHS and embarked into that world unknown. A more extensive range of activities, greater opportunities, broadened concepts, and the challenge for improvement of themselves, the school, and community balanced in the hands of those left behind. The importance of our curriculum, organization affiliations, class unity, and faculty assistance is now self-evident. It was only through these experiences and competent guidance that we, in a body and as individuals, were capable of proficient decisions and judging. As we look back on these years at iMPHS, numerous occasions, both happy and sad, refresh our memories of the good days gone by.” JEANNE THOMPSON, Terry Troxell, Sydney Cushing, and Eovella Noden chat about the day’s activities as they leave school.

P. rally girls stimulate enthusiasm and school spirit during Myrtle Point, Coquille basketball game. HALLOWEEN spooks Doris Schmidt, Don Mast, and Sandra Smith help serve PTSO refreshments at the October meeting. 1962 will be remembered as the year the Bobcats were State A-2 co-champions; rumors of a new high school filled the air; a flu epidemic soared daily absence records above the 100 mark; the grandstands were condemned, snow and freezing weather slowed activities in January; and combined community-school efforts produced the musical, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Coincidental, but what seemed planned, were: fire drills on frosty mornings, fingers still a-sleep during first period typing class, the cafeteria serving your favorite dish when you were absent, a general police warning the one morning you parked on the wrong side of the street, and the assemblies always scheduled during your study hall. IN TIME to come, when we review the past year, we shall see it in the perspective that time brings to us. The implications and culminations of the various memories will have once been known and perhaps forgotten to most of us, but each time we open this book we shall again recall and re-live that wonderful school year 1961-62. 5 SUPERINTENDENT, SCHOOL BOARD FACE MANY PROBLEMS Superintendent, Mr. Hubert A. Armstrong, and the District 41 school board finds themselves facing many problems. Myrtle Point’s school board, consisting of seven members plus a clerk, must tackle the job of providing the district with an efficient school system. They realize that a good public school system must have proper facilities and be co-ordinated with other schools throughout the area. Even before the school year begins, these dedicated people must select qualified personnel, propose a budget, and be sure of properly functioning transportation facilities. A good district superintendent must have keen foresight into the growing demands of a rapidly expanding school system. Superintendent Armstrong has shown us that he has this quality by solving the many problems which are put before him with the speed and efficiency of a truly capable leader. After the start of the school year, the board is confronted with many varied and perplexing problems. This year, for instance, the board was faced with the condemnation of the grandstands and the possibility of expanding the physical facilities. Hubert Armstrong, District Superintendent MYRTLE POINT'S school board is discussing plans for newbuildings, grandstands, and various other financial problems. Seated are Mr. Bob Thompson, Mr. John Kirk, chairman; and Mrs. Paula Cook, clerk. Standing are Mr. Ralph Whitaker, Mr. Howard Winkleman; Mr. Bob Fowrie; Mr. Melden Carl; and Mr. Hollis Mast. £ PRINCIPAL NEUGART USES FIRM BUT FAIR” POLICY Myrlte Point High School principal, Mr. Kay Neu-gart is a well known figure among our students and faculty members. My. Neugart possesses many fine characteristics which are essential for a good principal. He has had experience teaching Industrial Arts, Physical Education and coaching, basketball, football and track. Writing reports, arranging meetings, and attending conferences arc all a part of Mr. Ncugart’s daily work. Being tactful, diplomatic, and firm but fair is our principal's daily disposition. He is also very sincere and is a good person to talk to for advice on vocations, and his vivid understanding of teen-age problems makes him an excellent advisor. Mr. Neugart is completing his 19th year at Myrtle Point. He has served as teacher, advisor, vice principal, and principal.

Myrtle Point High is a school in which education is considered important. Here students and teachers put the emphasis on study and classwork. Besides emphasizing academic subjects, Myrtle Point High offers many extra curricular activities. These activities teaches the student judgement, citizenship, and responsibility. Our faculty is busy throughout the year performing many duties such as correcting papers, making appointments, and handing out papers. Many faculty members have accepted the task of advising clubs and classes. This requires extra work, time, and planning. Participation is PTSO has also demanded time from our faculty's busy schedule. Another major role played by teachers include the chaperoning duties. Aside from all this, the faculty must constantly refresh their mind by attending summer school during the summer months.

Throughout the last four years the class has sponsored car washes, concessions, dances and a Junior-Senior prom for money raising projects. They may be credited with reviving the tradition of a banquet honoring the seniors. Hill Rylander, assisted by Sherman Aatson, ably led the seniors through a prosperous year. Theresa Beckham, secretary , kept all records up to date and posted news concerning the class on the bulletin board. Sydney. Cushing, treasurer, had charge of all money transactions. Jeannette Axe, Lovell a Noden, and Richie McCuskey were elected to represent the seniors in student council.

Another memorable Christmas activity was the semi-formal dance held in the gavly decorated cafetorium, December 23. Seniors contributed to student government, school organizations, and class activities.

English students, Pat Dooley and Donna A. Smith, discuss the method of diagraming sentences. MYRTLE Point High School’s language arts department offered the required four years of English, three years of French, Speech, Journalism, and College Prep. English. Freshmen English emphasized tour basics: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Sophomore English was constructed to stress oral and written compositions, good grammar, and correct usage of the parts of speech. Junior English focused on critical analysis of materials and required longer and more intensified themes. The senior English department was keyed to a thorough review of grammar and analysis of literature. In College Prep. English students studied Chaucer and Shakespeare’s 'Mac-Beth” for advanced ideas and literary knowledge. REVIEWING a taped speech during a regular classroom session are Becky Otter, Paul Franzen, and Richard Gassman. 62 SKILLS,DEVELOPS STUDENT’S SELF EXPRESSION MR. VERNON SORENSON illustrates French phrases to Maureen Flovd. MPHS’s general speech course was planned to develop skill and organize thought, purposeful speaking and effective expression. Debating, dramatics, and public speaking were the three basis of study. In addition to the more technical aspects of newswriting, journalism provided many of the broader phases of education, such as the practice of democratic action, co-operative effort, responsibility, self-expression, and leadership. French classes were organized to teach the students primary skills. After two years of the course, students were expected to be able to read, write, and speak the language with advanced abilities. Understanding customs and ideals of the French people, and developing an appreciation of the contributions of French world and culture were underlying objectives of study. MR. SMITH, freshmen English teacher, points out the different uses WRITING cutlines is only one of the many jobs as-of the dictionary toFrosh students Sherry Kemmis and Mike Grisham, signed to Marilyn Luttrell, Myrtle Leaf reporter. 63 APPLYING SCIENCE TO EVERYDAY LIFE MAJOR MR. ORR, Biology instructor, explains cell construction of minute plants to Linda Boles and Eddie Wells. PAUL DANIELS proves the slide rule to be very useful in solving an Algebra II problem. MATH courses such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are essential to the development of sound judgement and desirable for the student who is approaching the environment of competitive industry where exact knowledge is required. Mathematics at MPHS is a broad overall area arranged so that students can continue their mathematical education throughout their four years in high school and also through college. General Math distinguishes between an exact number and an approximate number, develops the concepts of precision, significant digits, and accuracy. The algebra program stresses the concepts of possible error and the relationship between size of an angle and number of significant digits. Included in the trigonometry section are logarithms, graphs and their functions, and angles functions of angles. 64 AIM OF MYRTLE POINT’S SCIENCE PROGRAM SCIENCE at MPHS consists of generalized and advanced areas designed to meet the increased emphasis on the subject. The entire science program was concerned with the major concepts of science as they applied to everyday life. With the help of Mr. Wertz, General Science gave the main principles of the various scientific fields. This provided students with the basic fundamentals of the more advanced science courses. Biology taught by Mr. Caldarazzo and Mr. Orr, dealt with the origin, development, structure, functions, and distribution of plants and animals. Chemistry and Physics were for more advanced science students. Lab periods, weekly tests, and lectures were very regular, along with experiments, mixing chemicals, and examining unknown solutions. Physical Science was a higher level of General Science and the basic fundamentals of Chemistry and Physics. ALBERTA MENEGAT test the temp, of a solution while Roberta Brown completes the lab book. Fred Lange, Jim Gray, and Wayne Rhodes set up apparatus for their next experiment in general science. 65 POSTURE and aim are the essentials for skills in archery as shown by third period girls’ P. E. class. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES STRESS CO-OR TUMBLING, which includes building pyramids, is only one of the many sports the girls Physical Ed. classes participate in throughout the year. MYRTLE POINT High School’s girls’ physical education program strived to develop in the student physical growth, co-ordination and muscular development. Students competed daily with classmates in a variety of exercises, drills and games. Goals which were stressed included good sportsmanship and conduct, and a sense of achievement and enjoyment. The basic skills of basketball, volley ball, soccer, tumbling, and bowling were practiced in class. In December girls’ and boys’ PE classes combined for three weeks of dancing. The group learned such dance steps as the fox trot, the slop, cha-cha and the swing. There were also supervised intramurals intramurals in softball, badminton, ping-pong and archery. 66 DINATION, SPORTSMANSHIP, PHYSICAL FITNESS BASKETBALL causes great excitement as several boys jump for a rebound during P.E. class. SPORTSMANSHIP and physical fitness were the main objectives of physical education. The students learned the rules and fundamentals of various sports and good muscular coordination. Boys’ physical education classes, taught by Mr. Bob Peterson, were required by the state for freshmen, sophomore, and juniors. Mr. Peterson instructed the boys in eleven different sports throughout the school year. These included: football, soccer, wrestling, basketball, archery, table tennis, volley ball, badminton, track, baseball, and mushball. The boys also learned some of the basic dance steps in a course which lasted three weeks. 67 FINE ARTS PROGRAM FURNISHES CHALLENGE, SECOND period chorus members are shown preparing entertainment for the December PTSP meet. BAND, Art, and Chorus in the curriculum bring out cultural, aesthetic, and material interests which are coexistant. A well planned Fine Arts program recognizes that it should exist for three main objectives: its contribution to the growth and development of the student; its unique spiritual, and cultural values; and its enrichment to the other areas of the curriculum. MPHS’s music program consisted of a senior and freshmen marching band, a concert band, and a vocal department. Both hands were active throughout the year, participating in concerts, music festivals, halftime marching, and contests. The chorus was also active by singing at various community activities, presenting vocal concerts, and singing at assemblies. By furnishing the mind with a challenge solved only by experience, the general art program at MPHS is molded so that the students will have a great bariety of experience with media, equipment, and techniques. In the first term, art students studied styles of alphabets, history, and letter anatomy. During the second term, the major principles of design were studied. Third term studies included sketching, painting, history and art application. In the last term, sketching and painting were studied intensively by the beginning artists. MRS. ROUSH, art instructor, demonstrates balance of design on posters to Diane Dement,Bobbi Rooney, Joe Birdwell, Gary Poste and Sherman Watson. 68 ESTABLISHES PRICELESS STANDARDS LINDSAY IIAUSCHILDT listens intently as Mr. Les Simons, band instructor, explains how to play a musical passage. 69 SOCIAL SCIENCE FAMILIARIZES STUDENT TEACHING the fundamentals of American democracy and respect for the dignity of each and every human being regardless of race, religion, culture, inheritance or social and economic status was the primary aim of MPHS’s social science curriculum. WORLD GEOGRAPHY, a course offered to Freshmen students studies to climate, tophography, natural resources, transportation and communication systems of major countries of the world. In World Geography students made charts, salt and flour maps, and wrote research papers for extra credit. WORLD HISTORY, an elective course for Sophomores, Juniors and Senior students learned how the world as a whole with its many peoples, environments, civilizations, religions and nations came to be what it is. In World History students became acquainted with the civilizations of the Middle East, China, Greece, Rome and Western Europe. I)IAN POWRIE shows Pat Dooley the location of US airlift operation in West Berlin during Modern Problems class. TO FURTHER demonstrate the contrast between nationalities of our world, the geography students made up this display of dolls. 70 WITH FUNDAMENTALS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY EMPHASIZING the ideals and sacrifices of our patriots and the course of events which has given us the blessings of liberty, and an appreciation for the democratic way of life was the major goal of AMERICAN HISTORY. Students in AMERICAN HISTORY studied about the early colonial period, the grow’th and development of the United States constitution, the underlying and immediate causes of the major wars, the growth of sectionalism, the political development of our nation, and the rise of die United States to a world power. Outside readings, making book reports, answering chapter questions, semester projects and class room discussions kept AMERICAN HISTORY students familiar with the happenings in history. MODERN PROBLEMS, a requirement for seniors, strived to keep seniors familiar with current day problems. In MODERN PROBLEMS class seniors familiarized themselves with the basic laws and principles of economics and sociology. PLACES of early America are located by American History student Barbara Boles. GARY POSTE, Bcckbam, Nancy Wood and Jim Gross study a copy of the Gettysburg address during American History class. 71 DRIVER ED., AGRICULTURE, COMMERCIAL COURSES FUTURE office worker, mechanics, homemakers and farmers are what the vocational department at Myrtle Point High School strives to produce. Whether it be in the field of business of agriculture, the vocational department finds itself one of the most popular departments in school. The vocational department offered courses in home economics, agriculture, industrial arts, wood and metal shop and drivers’ education. Mrs. Sharon Colahan, home economics instructor, kept girls engrossed in sewing ensembles, planning nutritious meals and designing homes. LEARNING BY DOING’ was emphasized by agriculture instructor, Mr. Norman Burgess. Agriculture students studied farm accounting, livestock and crop production, soil and water management, farm power and machinery, arc welding, farm chemicals, and commercial fertilizers. MR. ORR illustrates to his students the automatic gearshift in the Drivers Training car. SUSAN EATION and Ann McGinnis clean appliances as a weekly duty in Homemaking III. GORDON HAYES, Mr. Burgess, and Roger Roberts assemble an exhibit of veterinary supplies. 72 HOMEMAKING TEACH STUDENTS PRACTICAL SKILLS MR. RICHARD McCANSE and MR. LOYD WELLS served as I.A. instructors. Industrial arts dealt with industry’s organization, processes, materials, occupations, and problems of technological nature. Introductory, wood, and metal shops were offered to the student. Scratches and dented fenders were rare sights with MR. JACK ORR training students to drive. The purpose of drivers’training was to develop the ability of the students to operate an auto safely, courteously, and efficiently. MISS JULIA DUKE, a member of MPHS’s faculty for seven years, taught classes of the commercial nature, such as typing,bookkeeping, and shorthand. Experience in these commercial courses gave the student an understanding and appreciation of the place of BUSINESS in American life. JEANETTE AXE learns to use the adding machine as an aid in doing her bookkeeping.

GIVES PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF DEMOCRACY J AMS COFFMAN NANCY V AGNER DICK DOVN Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms HAT is student council? It is an organization of students, elected by students, to represent the school in an official capacity. The student council provided training for leaders and followers. Council encouraged citizenship, insured a high regard for law and order, created better school spirit, and gave students a practical knowledge of democracy. Myrtle Point High School's student council consisted of thirty-four members, twenty-one of which had voting privileges. Blue and Red handbooks were circulated to students, faculty, and school board members. These pamphlets were sponsored by the council and the school board. One of the first activities of the 1961-62 council was a Hello Day for the freshmen. The Frosh were given tags which read, Hi! I'm a freshman. A traditional project for the school's government body was Homecoming festivities. A parade, serpentine, the game, and dance composed the weekend activities. MPIIS and arch rival Coquille competed in a trash clash the week preceding the little civil war , or the Bobcat-Devil game. The Bobcats were the victors of the ball game, but members of MPHS paid the trashy penalty by carrying signs during the half-time. Another activity sponsored by the council was the Masquerade Ball. Students were admitted only if in costume, and participated in contest dancing and costume judging. POSTING the activity calendar for coming events are activity committee members Rick Pullen, Lovella Noden, and Faye Ratcliffe. 77 SENIOR, FRESHMEN MYRTLE POINT HIGH SCHOOL BAND was divided into two sections for the first time this year due to the number of freshmen band members.

AGRICULTURE is our nation’s largest single industry and is essential to our economic and social stability. We must have a constant supply of experienced and trained farmers. The successful farmer of today is a scientist and a businessman; a mechanic and a laborer. The Myrtle Point chapter of FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA strives to develop leadership, character, scholarship, cooperation, and patriotism by having the members take an active part in chapter functions. Members learn how to conduct public meetings; to finance themselves; to buy and sell co-operatively; to solve their problems; and to accept civic responsibility. Boys must be enrolled in vocational agriculture before becoming a member of FFA.

Three men from the first team will be returning for next year with power also coming on from the bench. Because of this, Myrtle Point should be a future leading power in the Sunset League. Promising lettermen returning to the team next year will be Rich Gassman, a first team guard, Dave Hatfield, a first team guard, Tom Johnson, a sharp shooting first team forward, Al Stibitz, a reserve center, Bruce Gibeau, a reserve rough center, and Dean Noyes, a reserve guard. Leading scorer for the Cats was Dick Down with an 18 point average per league game. Down also was a leading scorer in the Sunset League. Throughout the season, Down’s faking, jump shots, and speed made him an offensive threat as well as defensive. During the season, Myrtle Point executed the man to man defense. The Cats were one of the few schools who used this as the other schools employed the zone defense. Four seniors played their last year for the Bobcats. Dick Down, a top scorer and top rebounder, has earned two varsity letters under the coaching of Jack Orr. Also, Paul Franzen, a first team center and rough re-bounder, played his last season for the Bobcats. Rich McCuskey, a reserve forward, has earned I letter for basketball. Kerry Dayton, a reserve forward who has seen much action for the Bobcats, will retire from high school basketball with 1 varsity letter. 19 JV TEAM SHOWS PROMISE; COMPILES 13-6 RECORD COACH BOB PETERSON’S J.V. squad showed promis-ing potential for the future years.

BY EXECUTING fine play, hard hitting, and much hustle, the Myrtle Point High School baseball squad finished the year as runner up in the state A-2 league. The Bobcats, coached by Ted Owens completed the season with a record of 18 wins and 6 losses. After finishing league play with losses only to Bandon and Coquille, the Bobcats were on the top of the Sunset League and thus earned the right to enter the state playoffs. The quarterfinal game was with Keedsport on the Myrtle Point field. The Bobcats led throughout the game and finished as victors 8 to 1. Squaring off against Myrtle Point in the semifinals was North Catholic from Portland. With fine pitching from the arm of Rich Armstrong, the bats of North Catholic were muffed. Also, due to a tremendous home run by Dick Down, the Cats were able to push the winning runs across the home plate. The Cats finally emerged the victor by 3 to 1. The state A-2 finals were next on the agenda for the Bobcats. Serra Catholic was the opposing team against the Cats with the gamesite at Multnomah Stadium in Portland. A trio of Catholic Sabers ruined the hopes of the Cats as they combined to push 8 runs across the plate. Meanwhile the Bobcats had only 2 hits with 1 run. ROW Is P. Franzen, D. Down, K. Dayton, D.

Perkins. ROW 2: F. Grove, Coach; W. Hardman, F. Lange, R. McCuskey. STARTING THE season with a group of hopefuls for future years but a rather young crew for the 1960-61 season, Coach Hoefs commenced to prepare the squad for the coming meets. The Bobcats first meet was the annual Reedsport Relays. Fourteen schools participated and the Cats finished in the 4th place slot. The Bobcats also went to the annual Hayward Relays. Thirty-one teams from all over the state were entered in the same class as Myrtle Point and the 'Cats finished in the 14-th spot. When the district meet arrived, Myrtle Point finished runner-up to Coquille in team scores. Rich McCuskey, a miler, and Bill Thomas, a pole vaulter, qualified for the state A-2 track meet. Even though MP had a slow season, they are looking forward to the 1962 track season due to the return of many lettermen. They will be coached by Frank Grove and will be a strong competitor in the Sunset League. Also during the 1962 cross country season, Myrtle Point boasted a fine squad. These boys had a fine record, as they defeated many opposing schools. CINDERMEN PLACE 2ND IN DISTRICT MEET ROW 1: J. Hatfield, D. Hatfield, R. Gassman, D. Sinko, D. Winningham, P. Rhodes, B.

That’s just why this section was planned for you— to review quickly what you’ve done and seen from enrollment in September 1961 to commencement in June 1962. The faculty and administration helped make the year that success that it was. Without them many of our events, club meetings, dances, publications, athletic events, and extra-curricular activities would not have been possible. 120 EXAMS, TWIRP WEEK, ELECTIONS, GRADUATION STUDENTS WILL always remember the pink tardy slips, and the stares that came from their fellow classmates when they sneaked into class. Not to be forgotten was the frantic search among all the books in lockers and the countless coke bottles, coats, paper bags, and sports schedules for the right book in the short three minutes between classes. Then there was the straining to see the blackboard with 10 tall people sitting in front of you. Homecoming week preceeding the Bandon football game was hectic. The final blow came when the grandstands were condemned by the city engineer. Rumors flew — the game would be played in Bandon or Coquille — or the grandstands would be repaired. In the end, MPHS Homecoming festivities were transferred to Bandon. The old monstrosity , as one indignant student described it, just sat.

The game itself was cold, snowy, and muddy. However, the Bobcats came out as co-champs. At the Medford Hotel, MP fans welcomed the team with a reception. Assemblies, band concerts, play practices, dances, and placement tests heightened the chaos of school life. Class and student council meetings, rally practices, basketball games, and wrestling matches were sandwiched in along with book reports, term papers, chemistry experiments, semester projects, and final examinations.

AFTER SEMESTER exams students resolved to turn over a new leaf and make the honor roll and raise his or her GPA. However, for some this was soon forgotten as school life began to gain momentum and activities began to increase. In February unusual hats were the standard costumes during Twirp Week. One not so pleasant duty for girls during Twirp Week was to escort boys to class, carry books and do innumerable tasks. The Brontosaurus BaH”, sponsored by the Girls’ League, ended the activities for another year. Classes did a thriving business selling concessions at games. Organizations sponsored dances, dinners, rummage sales, and other fund raising activities. Intramural sports and ping-pong tournaments won’t be forgotten. Newest along the organization line was the establishment of the Future Teachers of America. 123 STUDENT BODY PRESENTS NIGHT OF JANUARY 16’ BUS TRIPS to games brought the usual noise and confusion to the scene and — if the Bobcats won — the lid was off as the spectators returned to Myrtle Point. This year will always be remembered for the time the chemistry student burned her tongue and John Glenn successfully orbited the earth three times on Feb. 20. Spring held in store warm days when no one felt like going to class, the annual FHA-FFA banquet, Senior Skip Day, National Honor Society tapping of new members, baccalaureate services, and finally commencement.
