Sonya Robinson, Janet Wilson, Betsy Thompson and Evelyn Belanger represented the various classes in the Homecoming court. Turning the pages of the Bobcat '64 twenty years from now, what will we see? Will it be the dances we danced, the songs we sang, or the clothes we wore? The stomp, “Sugar Shack' , shifts, and the pegged pants took an important place in our lives. We’ll remember our old classmates, the teachers, classes, assemblies, games, dances, and so many other things. There was President Kennedy, Madame Nhu, and Panama. And, of course, we'll always remember those care-free, school-free days of unexpected vacation, even though we forget the exact reason. Education is important to our Nation s might. And our schools are the tools for this intellectual sight. MPHS, full of memories happy and sad. Begins in September with new hopes making glad. Old friendships renewed and new ones made, Each looks forward to making a good grade. Contrasting ages give varied looks. Freshmen unsure but seniors know the books. Confusion reigns ‘till all get settled, Classes and clubs begin organizing for medals. Jim Loyd, senior, uses the school's library sources in gathering research material for a special project. With another two points added to the score, MPHS students jump for joy as the Bobcats complete a basket for the team. Football season begins the year, And our courageous boys fight withour fear. Thanksgiving is welcomed with a few days off, But a nation is mourning over the President’s loss. Next on the calendar comes indoor sports, Our Bobcats wrestle and fill basketball courts. Winter sets in before Christmas morn. And school halls empty ‘till next year is born. Remembering yester year and anticipating a new. All diligently search for a successful clue. With bright hopes for tomorrow and goals to attain, Students begin the year with everything to gain. “Mountain Gal“ is produced by the senior class, Where Maria Lindsay is a gal who takes no sass. Valentine's Day reveals sweetheart’s charm. Juniors prepare for the yearly prom. Days pass quickly, then spring is here, With bright flowers blossoming, and friendships growing dear. “Bobcat Blackouts’’ is produced as the all school play. Then at last the anticipated day. It’s the graduation and diplomas the last day of May. Half glad, half sad, expectant, ful If i I led. Four years of study and fun all sealed. Some to colleges, jobs and armed forces, All leave high school and some with remorses. Others look forward to a better year, But all look back with just a little tear. ‘Mountain Qa ' Depicts 0$ar(z HilWilly Cije CAST Maria Lindsay Patokah Lindsay Catalpa Lindsay Peggy (Dee Dee) Oby Sophronia Henry McKay Arthur Perrin John Gordon Mrs. Gordon Student Director Director Oby is trying to get the couroge to propose to Sphie, but Sophie always ends up with a handful of peanuts instead of a marriage proposal.

A packed house in attendance and many laughs on both nights were reward enough for the many nights spent after school rehersing for the final production. The plot involves a moving story that is rich in humor and guaranteed laughs. The Lindsay family who have a farm, a truck and a hired hand are considered rich0 hillbillies in the Ozarks. Ma Lindsay thinks very highly of herself and having two years of schooling, considers herself educated. She forces her tyranny on the family with Dee Dee, an orphan girl, as her special target. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, touring from the North, have an accident and while delayed, visit the Lindsays for dinner. Dee Dee tells them of her dreams of an education and they become interested in her, thinking her ill-suited for hillbilly life. The Gordons convince the Lindsays to let them take Dee Dee home with them. Having lost their own daughter while on a train trip, the Gordons want to educate Dee Dee and bring her up as their own daughter. Ma Lindsay has no special affection for the orphan girl and consents. She is more concerned for her own daughter, Catalpa, who turns out to be quite a character! John Gordon (Dick Blohm) congratulates Mr. McKay for his fine Mrs. Gordon (Patty Larson) beams her appreciation.

All vacation is through. As we open our books We know studying is due. We can smell in the air The arrival of fall. Which means to all students that it s time for football. Homecoming as always Was better than the last. However, it was soothing When all excitement was past. Kennedy assassinated Late in November, Brought tragedy to each, That we’ll long remember. Freedom came with Christmas, Students were ready with fun. The passing of our vacation Was hailed by only some. Winter has passed. Spring is well on her way. Our friends—the seniors Have long awaited their day. Every student will attend The graduation of the wise. But we the students who stay Are happy with our ties. As each tie binds us closer We know that studying is due But we put our books away As this school year is through. 33 Poste, Kirscfi, McCue, Huff, Qurney, Clarno.

To each one who had a part In Myrtle Point High School, We give a special thanks from Hearts so deeply grateful. The school board has its problems However great they be; But always come out winning And difficulties soon flee.

Stewart Completes 2nd L]ear as District Superintendent 1964 marks Joe Stewart's second year as district superintendent. Stewart has a BS and a ME from the U. of 0. Ray Neugart, MPHS principal, led the school in unity throughout the year. Neugart holds a BS and MS from OSU. MYRTLE POINT'S school board this year was: ROW (1) Bob Thompson, Doris Belloni, Hollis Mast, and Paul Cooke. ROW (2) Howard Winkleman, John Kirk, Reed Gurney, Joe Stewart, John Meldrum, and Melden Carl. 62 Jim King vie© principal completed his sixth year at MPHS. King received his BS from OCE and his MS from the U. of 0. Each spring with the closing of school, the board of ed-cation faces a gross number of problems to which they spend a great deal of time trying to correct by fall. 1963-64 was no exception for District 41. The school board faced a major problem of an over-crowded high school and as they looked into the future they began to see the need for a drastic change in order to accommodate the incoming high school students. The proposition of a new and larger high school was presented to them but no definite decision was reached. It is the duty of the school board to approve, disapprove and possible recommend improvements within the curriculum of each elementary and secondary school. The board this year approved the addition of a new class for high school seniors. It was a humanities course which gave the student an insight to such types of literature as Homer’s The Odyssey and The llliad. Paula Cook Dist. 41 clerk was kept busy this year with various secretarial duties. Mrs. Cook received her BS degree from Oregon State. When everything else decided to go modem, the math department did not hesitate to stay behind. At Bridge Elementary School, math was taught with the student centered approach rather than the text. In this method the students decided for themselves after working a problem, why it was done that way. Within the last few years under the supervision of the board, the high school has received several hundred books to which the student may avail himself at any time. Also, five new recorder machines were purchased for the foreign language department. Every board member must be willing to cope with the responsibility of providing an adequate education for the students of District 41. Board Approves Curriculum improvements for Dist. 41 63 Myrtle Point 3aculty drains Students for World of tomorrow Preparing the youth of today for the life of tomorrow was the primary goal of the MP public school system. Students were given an equal opportunity to be prepared mentally, socially, and physically, to cope with, and conquer the problems of a future age, a generation in which a democratic society, of the people, by the people, and for the people will be the government. As part of the huge public school system across the entire United States, Myrtle Point High School adopted these goals for its own. Many people fought for this privilege we have and enjoy, and still more have struggled to maintain it. Among these individuals were our teachers which played a very important part in this system. In our school, emphasis was placed on the academic subjects. Instructors’ duties in this line included making and giving, tests, assigning and correcting daily work, and preparing and giving lectures. In addition to these time consuming duties, many faculty members also advised clubs and classes, and chaperoned extra curricular activities. Attending summer school, special conventions, and the Parents, Teachers and Student Organization meetings also demanded the faculty's time.

Additional hours were spent directing extra-curricular activities. Approximately 50% to 90% of each day’s waking hours was spent in functions connected with school. Although a teacher’s first duty is towards the school, many faculty members enjoy different hobbies and participate in many community activities. An instructor’s life was a full one whose gain was not entirely monetary. Faculty members had a great deal in shaping a student’s life and a far reaching reward was when one of these students received a noted honor. Teaching presented a great challenge not only to the faculty members but also to each student. To some, the teachers was not supposed to be human. Instead he was to be merely a teacher”, However, student instructors had human feelings, too and wanted to be treated as such. When Christmas vacation became a reality both teacher and student were delighted. After the new year, school reopened and everyone was filled with new hopes, ambitions, and goals. Winter made way for spring and new life. Then, it was the anticipation of the coming summer months. For the teacher, school became a never ending circle; but a rewarding one. When students became mature, successful, and ready to cope with the tomorrow’ , the smile of satisfaction came across their faces and a feeling that their job in preparing young people for the world was accomplished.

Their job was not always easy, but they felt it worthwhile to dedicate their life to preparing young people for the years ahead. One of the most vital positions in administration was the area of student guidance. Sharon Colohan, girls counselor, was in charge of supervising girls in case of absence and then she assisted girls in fields of study. Jim King, dean of boys, handled all student records, directed the testing and guidance programs, and took care of boy's attendance and discipline. Both Mr. King and Mrs. Colohan assisted students in solving academic and personal problems.

Physical Science at MPHS has been replaced by Modern Earth Science. Earth Science is the study of geology, meterology, the earth’s environment in space, and geologic time. In Physics students study light, heat, electricity, their waves and how they react under varing conditions. Biology students used the microscope to delve into the small worlds of the protozoa and amoeba. Students studied plant and animal life cycles as well as dissecting small animals to determine the functions or organs and internal structures.

Higd Scdool Adds Sarffi Science to Curriculum Demonstrating the use of the overhead projector to Algebra || students is Elsie Downing, math instructor. Math courses varied from basic algebra to advanced trigonometry and calculus. Algebra students learned to use a system of letters and symbols in calculating problems with negative and positive numbers. Advanced math students worked with problems dealing with triangles and their relations to their sides and angles of other triangles. Fronk Grove, moth instructor explains a difficult math problem to puzzled math students. Home Sc. Students £earn Skills in Ckild Care, Qrooming Learning to cope with future home problems and mastering the many skills of home making were the basic goals of Gloria Evernden and Sharon Colahan’s Home Economics classes. 104 students in this department were divided into the four years of Home Economics according to their ability. In first and second year, the students learned only basic skills such as sewing, child care, nutrition, grooming, dating, and getting along with their own family. In the third and fourth year, the students were taught more advanced skills in sewing and cooking, plus units on home nursing, making draperies, upholstery, interior decorating, house planning, insurance, and preparation for future vocations as marriage, scholars, and teachers. New equipment in the Home Economics department included a new freezer, singer sewing machine, electric can opener and knife sharpener. Roxiene Ford and Nellie, freshmen, learned the art of good grooming in Home Ec. I classes. Sally Schrader and Gilda Bosco prepare meals in Home Economics I. Miss Duke’s typing Course Smpfiasi es Speed, Accuracy Music could be heard from fingers rhythmically striking keys in Julia Duke's typing class. The main goals of this section of the high school curriculum was to provide an opportunity for the students enrolled to prepare for specialized business fields and to prepare the future college students by teaching them a form for theme papers. Julia Duke, completed her ninth year as typing teacher at MPHS, had 120 first year students and 31 second year students in her five periods of typing. The class now has 12 electric typewriters and 36 manual typewriters. In first year typing, the students learned the typewriter key placements, how to coordinate their fingers, and the correct forms for typing business letters, themes, and reports. In second year typing, the students were taught to develop and perfect the skills learned in first year and to improve speed and accuracy. Girls as well as boys became figure consciouswhen they were required to make balances meet in Brent Caldwell's bookkeeping class. This section of the high school curriculum recognized its main goal as preparing students for specialized fields in bookkeeping and for use as a a tool in future employment. Speed and accuracy were stressed in Julia Duke’s Typing I classes. Reviewing lessons in Typing, Tom Poste readies his fingers for a speed writing test. 75 3ine Arts Program Emotions of beauty, expressed in the MPHS fine arts program, united into one the studies of music and art. This section of our high school's curriculum was a product, not merely of man’s intellect, but also of his spirit, imagination and feeling. Fine arts recognized its goals in a three fold nature: to enrich each phase of a student's education by combining intellect and imagination, to contribute to the growth of the student’s personality, thus establishing a well-rounded individual, and to unify mankind in his expressions of beauty. Wayne Haddock and Connie Huff, Art || students, made clay sculptures of their own design. Demonstrating the technique of playing a French horn d uring band is Tom Ralph. 76 Expresses Beauty, Develops Student’s intellect, imagination Performance in the 80 piece concert and senior band offered students an opportunity to develop a greater appreciation for music. The 30 piece freshmen band is trained to gain greater musical ability in preparation of entering the accomplished senior band. Les Simons, band instructor for the past 12 years, had led the bands in activities such as marching for athletic events, concerts, school programs and music contests. Special emphasis has been placed on student director development in the vocal department this year, by allowing different students to direct the choir. Rose Mary Kronquist serves as director for the 50-voice girls choir and 20 voice boys choir. Enrollment in this department has almost doubled in size during the four years of her leadership. Activities of the chorus included participating in various community programs and the school’s annual Thanksgiving assembly. Special groups in the choir included two triple trios, a boys quartet, a mixed ensemble and a senior girls trio. Learning the skill of drawing, painting and sculpturing challenge students enrolled in art to develop their powers of observation and imagination; another language for expressing ideas and emotion. Richard Payne, art instructor at MPHS for the past two years, now nas 28 students enrolled in his art classes. In first year, art students learn drawing, water color, block printing, stenciling, sculpture and art history. Second year included oil painting, figure drawing, sculpture heads, advertising and cartooning. Boys choir, taught by Rosemary Kronquist, sang a variety of songs at special school assemblies. Choir is an elective course. Physical Sducation Classes Stress Physical 3itness Physical fitness and calisthenics, suggested by the late President John F. Kennedy, were a major part of the physical education program this past year. Sharon Colahan and Marjory Lane, Girls' Physical Education teachers, stressed these ideas as major activities for the classes. Calisthenics were major activities in the physical fitness program. Push-ups, and tread mills were some of the exercises used in the girls’ PE classes to help build up strength. Exercises were led by the students throughout the year. In the fall, the girls had such activities as archery, soccer, basketball and tumbling. In November the girls' and boys' PE classes combined for two weeks of dancing. Games played throughout the latter part of the year were badminton, volleyball, ping pong, track and softball. Boys’ Physical Education instructosr. Bob Peterson and Jack Reeves, attempted to show the boys the art of good sportsmanship- This involved the students in honest rivalry with one another and in acceptance of the results, whether good or bad. Poise and form are practiced by Delores McCue on the parallel bars during Physical Education class. 78 PS Dept.

Other activities carried on throughout the year were tumbling, wrestling, table tennis, track and baseball. New equipment for the physical education department consisted of parallel bars, a trampoline, and basketball, badminton and archery equipment. Snglisd Dept. Adds Humanities to Curriculum, Gnglisfi Language arts acquainted MPHS students with the art of communications via literary compositions, public speeches, and the history of failures and successes of men to live peacefully. English is important in commuting ideas to the rest of the world and being able to express ourselves among our own people. Speech, humanities, French journalism and English provided us with ways to commute these ideas. Alice Everest's Sophomore English classes read “Silas Marner and “A Tale of Two Cities. Sentence construction and writing heads for newspaper stories were on the Sophomore English students agenda along with Shakespearean plays. Humanities, which concerns the study of old literature and the western world’s history, was a new course available to Juniors and Seniors taught by Gail Smith. Reading “Homer,’' “The IIIiad and the Odyssey” and other great literature were common assignments. Students soon became familiar with writing themes on the subjects. Et tu Brute, murmers Ron Clark to friend Jim Key as they enact Julius Caesar for fellow sophomore English students. Mike Sullivan, senior, portrays a nervous young executive in speech class pantomime. Laying down his gun, Mike prepares to open Taking a key from his hat Mike opens the heavily locked briefcase. the case. Courses Stress Writing The Red Badge if Courage and The Bridge of San Louis Rey were stressed to Junior English students. Larger vocabularies, word analogies, speech development and compositions comparing and constrasting the novels were the main assignments in Lee Brentlinger's Junior English classes. Freshmen English classes, taught by Gail Smith, read Great Expectations, a novel by Charles Dickens. Smith also stressed grammar, punctuation, sentence construction, spelling and writing in his classes. A bit of imagination, a small portion of writing talent, a flare for the different and a dash of ingenuity and originality; mix these things together and the results are: Journalism students. Journalism played a vital part in the Language Arts program by teaching students how to write in a clear and concise way. Seniors planning to attend college enrolled in college prep English taught by Fern Starr. Mrs. Starr emphasized reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and creative writing. With a second key from his shoe, Mike opens a metal box. The secret is out! Mike is trying to keep his sandwich from any other hungry, young executives of the senior class. Anne Guerin and Richie Dayton, Senior English students, searched diligently for novels for their required book reports. Parlez vous Francois? Seventy four stu-dents, were enrolled in Margaret Schudda-kopf's French classes. French stressed the customs, arts, literature and science of the French people. Singing songs and pronouncing words, numbers and cities in the traditional nasal twang which is customary to the French was achieved by the students. This year Mrs. Schuddakopf organized a French club. French students were eligible for membership in this organization. Authentic pioneer rifle and pistol are examined by David Duren and Vicki Abel in U. S. History. Portraying Political, Social, Headlines news broadcasts and articles of foreign events became most important items for students enrolled in social science courses at Myrtle Point High School. Madame Nhu, future elections, civil rights and Kennedy's assassination were main topics of discussion during the year for Senior students in Modem Problems. Art Motz, instructor for the Modem Problems class prepared each week's assignment from Newsweek, a nationally published magazine of current world events. Vicki Abel looks on as Richard Payne, U.S. History instructor, demonstrates his self-designed steam engine and mortar. 82 Modern Problems, a graduation requirement at MPHS, taught students to understand and evaluate the tension of the modem day world. World History class listens intently as Art Motz, Gconomic Gvents Major Aim of Social Science Program World History is the story of man’s efforts to improve the world in which he lives ' stated Art Motz, instructor of the World History class at MPHS. Portraying the political, economic, and social successes and failures of man since time began was the work of the social science teacher. With an enrollment of 20 students the classroom was composed of sophomores, juniors and seniors. These high school students turned in class projects, regular book reports and any charts or maps required throughout the year. Transforming cut and dried facts into vital and interesting knowledge has been the work of US History instructors, Don Wohler, Marv Scherpf, and Richard Payne. Working earnestly to reach a wide range of Junior students, they strived to teach a thorough understanding of American democracy. World History instructor, lectures on early civilization. Pointing out two countries of Africa to Sandra McCue and Laura Shires are Kay McCurdy and Johnny Pyatt in modern problems class. Early exploration, major differences of the colonies, underlying and immediate causes of the major wars, and the Constitution were among the many topics covered in the US History classes throughout the year. Learning the products, rivers and mountain ranges of all the countries of the world was a sample of the type of work completed in World Geography classes. The course, taught by Marv Scherpf, was offered as an elective. The student’s program of study was enhanced by book reports, daily class discussions and projects. industrial Arts Students Cearn Basic Skills in Into the Industrial Arts classes of MPHS marched students with unskilled hands and imagination. Dave Miller and Loyd Wells attempted to train these unskilled hands and put imaginations to work, making projects of wood, clay, plastic and metal. MP students received their first taste of industrial arts as freshmen in the introductory shop course taught by Dave Miller. In this course the students learned the basis of mechanical drawing, and woodworking, with u touch of metal work. Besides the introductory shop course, Miller taught Mechanical Drawing and Arts and Crafts. As students progressed into the advanced woodworking courses and the Metal shop courses, Loyd Wells took over as instructor. Wells also taught one section of Arts and Crafts. Students entering the woodworking classes this year found new hand tools, a new electric hand sander, and a new shaper. A new dust collector improved working conditions in the wood shop. A safety shield is operated by Woodshop student, Denny Stewart, as Jerry Kirkpatrick pre pares to saw a piece of plywood. FFA member, Wilmer Stidham, works on a saw-filing vise. Stidham designed the vice in Vocational Agriculture.

Promoting international good will and sponsoring a foreign exchange student has been the main purpose of the International Relations Club's program at MPHS this year. MPHS can boast four American Field Service exchange students throughout the past years. Si by Knappe, a young German girl, came to MPHS in 1959. The following year, Sissy Skauge, a senior student from Norway, was at MP HS under the exchange program. Sergio (Joe) Lorenzutti visited the high school during the year of 1961-62. During the school year of 1963-64 the 38 member organization elected Anne Guerin, president; Dinah Dooley, vice-president; Sharon Hartley, secretary-treasurer, Brenda Nichols, historian; and Merikay Roth, student council representative. Filling the position of advisor to the group was Art Motz, Modem Problems and World History instructor at the high school. Throughout the year, various IRC members attended a fall conference in Eugene, a pre-IRL conference in North Bend, and the annual state-wide IRL conference on the University of Oregon campus. Temple Hayptfleisch, African exchange student, attended MPHS calssds this year through the combined efforts if IRC members and the entire community. temple Hauptfleiscd, 3oveign Sxcdmge Student, Attends MPHS Quickly adapting to a traditional American pastime. Temple pauses between classes for a coke. Under the sponsorship of IRC members and the entire community. Temple Hauptflei sch, foreign exchange student from the Republic of South Africa, spent the year of 1963-64 attending MPHS. Temple, a recent graduate from Grey College, an all boys’ high school in Bloemfontein, South Africa, attended the University of Orange Free State, majoring in English, before coming to America. Temple's family consists of four; his father, an employee for the railway, his mother, who works for a publishing house, and his brother who is in the second grade. At present. Temple’s grandmother is also living with them. Mr Temple points out his homeland, the Republic of South Africa, to his newly acquired friends of Myrtle Point. The Letterman’s sweater was a Christmas gift from the MPHS wrestling team. Following the closing of school, Temple will travel by bus across the United States with other foreign exchange students from the West Coast area. The highlight of the two weeks tour will be a few days stop at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York before the students return to their homes. Temple's American home was with the Kenneth L. Galloway home at Broadbent, Oregon. Temple’s favorite hobbies are photography, especially movie taking, and reading all types of books. Another pastime was attending American movies with his African friends. 91 Hoping to adopt himself to the American way of dress.

Glancing into the mirror, Temple tips his het to the his sports jacket for similarity with the teenage boys of MPHS. Student Body typical American boy just completing a thorough shopping tour. With such a wide range to choose from. Temple reflects for a moment before completing his new attire. To a South African, America is a far off country, a place of wide open spaces, big cities, electronic computers, T.V. sets, missiles and strange customs. These, and many other false impressions have the effect of making a foreigner rather nervous about coming to America as a tourist or a student. For no one knows quite what to expect. It was then a pleasant surprise to me to find out how wrong my ideas had been; America is a big, fast-moving country, yes, but it is also the home of millions of kind, ordinary people and I considered myself priviliged to have been given this opportunity to live in Myrtle Point. I would therefore, like to thank everyone for the most exciting year of my life, and I only hope that I may have been able in some way to return some of the kindness shown to me and to contribute a little to the international understanding, so badly needed today.

Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King. These meaningful words taken from the familiar song, America, by Samuel F. Smith, expressed the deep faith of our fathers in God and our desire for His blessing to continue on our nation. The Christian Youth Club, formerly the Bible club, also recognized this desire and realized one of its goals as encouraging a voluntary thankful and worshipful attitude towards God.

Barbara Kasper was selected as November girl-ot-the-month for her sportsmanship in GAA and other athletic activities. I believe that as a High School girl I should be.. was the familiar beginning of the Girls’ League creed which was recided in unison by the girls at each meeting. The creed contained the goal of each girl to be a fine worthy woman. Girls' League assembled once a month during the year. Every meeting’s agenda contained business, but with business came entertainment. Among the entertainment offered during the year was a style show given by the girls with participants modeling some of the year’s latest fashions. Later in the year a boys panel which included Bill Shires, Craig Brown, Reed Gurney, Nick Galloway, and Wayne Carpenter answered questions and gave their opinions on dating, what girls should wear on a date, and when the girls should be home. Skits were also presented as a form of entertainment. At Christmas the girls presented a skit on how different children reacted when they saw Santa in a department store. Santa also paid the girls a visit at their Christmas meeting and gave them each a candy cane. This year Girls’ League adopted a new system of selecting Girl of the Month. In previous years, Girl of the Month has been selected by the girls and her selection was based on how many activities she participated in. This year the faculty selected her on the basis of various qualities such as friendliness, service, sportsmanship, and citizenship.

During football and basketball they were on hand to catch a quick shot of the winning touchdown or the last exciting basket. Sometimes they were around to take a picture of something that was not meant to be seen! The club also took pictures of the ugly men for “The Ugly Man Contest . Under the guidance of Dick VanDuine, advisor, the club strove for higher knowledge in the art of photography. Camera Club members learned how to mix chemicals for development, proper dark room procedures, correct use of the enlarger, and proper lighting.

Two lettermen are on duty every day at noon, to keep the flow of students into the cafeteria from turning into a stampede. The Lettermens club is also responsible for the evacuation of the school building during fire drills or other emergencies. As the students are hustling out of the school building, in an orderly manner, the lettermen man their posts. While some of the letter-men are placed at strategic points around the school to control the flow of students, others are inspecting classrooms to see that all the windows and doors are closed, and that all the lights are off. Two lettermen are also assigned to each of the fire hoses in the bui Iding. The Lettermens club, under the supervision of Marv Scherpf, also emphasized sportsmanship at games and track meets.

Point High School as it was in 1963-64. The work, fun, achievements, and disappointments combined into one have made this volume of MPHS history. It was there - before us - the enormous task of completing 160 pages of pictures, copy, headlines and cutlines. Staff members will long remember the many tense hours spent in Room 12 meeting the next deadline, gathering information and editing copy. We had our share of problems too. There was the time all the layout had to be redone, copy had to be cut, and layout had to be ripped. However, in the many after school hours, everything was not all work. Staff members found time to celebrate birthdays, spread the latest news and tell the latest jokes. The Bobcat editors would like to extend their sincere appreciation to: 1. The Bobcat staff for their co-operation in gathering material, writing copy, cutlines, and headlines, and assisting with layout problems. 2. Phyllis Countryman, of the Myrtle Point Herald, for her assistance in photography. 3. The staff of Kennell Ellis Studio for their excellent photography. 4. The Coos Bay World for supplying negatives for the Bobcat staff. 5. Bob Paffrath and Huntley Prahl, representatives of American Yearbook Company, for assisting the staff in layout and typography problems. 6. Doris Hauptman, of American Yearbook Company, for setting the type. 7. The Myrtle Point High School faculty for their co-operation in dismissing students from class for pictures and supplying the staff with information of their department or organization. 8. The judges of National Scholastic Press, Columbia Scholastic Press, and National School Yearbook Association for their criticism concerning our prior yearbooks. 9. The advertisers, for their financial support. Even though this job was often nerve-racking it was worth every minute. We present to you our best efforts, as the result of many anxious hours of planning and labor. This book is your history for 1963-64 at Myrtle Point High School. It is our hope that it will represent the year as you lived it. Glenda Davenport Linda Coffman 160 Bobcat Editors •' r • y ; :IS' rv V � v .
