Vieing for the Sunset League championship .... cramming for final exams . . . . presenting “Lost Flight” .... participating in pep assemblies .... electing new student body officers .... performing vocal and instrumental concerts .... “We’ll have these moments to Remember.” “In the mountain of truth you never climb in vain,” was the theme of the senior class at graduation. In the midst of preparing for college and applying for scholarships the seniors paused to aid in the nationwide project of collecting money for the March of Dimes. Happiness was the sense of accomplishment felt as the seniors marched down the aisle to receive the long awaited diploma. A year filled with activity would be an ample description of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes. The junior prom, preparation for graduation, skits, service projects, class rivalry, and freshmen orientation filled the year for the underclassmen. Pat Cunningham, November Girl of the Month, presents to Lynn Peterson, December Girl of the Month, a potted plant and corsage. Classes, Clubs Sponsor Aefivifios, D nces, Drives Excitement was felt as underclassmen said to one another, “See you next year!’ for they knew they would be the ones to decide the future of Myrtle Point High School. Taking care of many social functions and special projects were the clubs. Girls League called people throughout the community asking for donations for the blood mobile. Girls’ League also participated in a national clothing drive for needy children in the Appalachian mountain area. Camera Club collected money through fund-raising projects. Student council strived to promote goodwill between classes, clubs, and individuals. Although we have passed from the halls of Myrtle Point High School with excitement, we will look back on the joy, the sorrow, the happiness, and the tears we’ve shared there. Each time we open the pages of the book, we will be flooded with memories as we recall that WE WERE MYRTLE POINT HIGH SCHOOL 1964-1965! Jack Reeves, physical education teacher, observes his physical education students while they play baseball. Dancing during the noon hour provided entertainment for MPHS students. Fronk Grove, high school track coach, records the results of a crosscountry race, as his son, Henry, observed. Al Hall, publisher of the Myrtle Point Herald, explains the mechanics of publishing a weekly newspaper to Fern Starr's English class. Activities 7 'Lost Flight’ Presented to Capacity Audience ‘‘Lost Flight 1 a drama in three acts, by Bernard Gilford, a writer for the Alfred Hitchcock show, was presented by the senior class Dec. 9-10. This drama concerned a night flight of a passenger plane with 10 passengers aboard. Shortly after taking off from the airport, the pilot received a radio message saying that there was a bomb on board. From this evolves a dramatic presentation of human behavior under these trying circumstances. CAST Joyce Micheals............. Penny Lester............... Karen Wilson...............

Though the areas of excellence are wide and varied, each student is working toward the same goal; to prepare himself for a fuller and more complete life in the service of mankind. Students cannot put such honors aside; for it is through such efforts that the future leaders of our society are formed.

Varsity Football Compiles 8-1 Record With an 8-1 record for the 1964 football season, the MP Bobcats had their most successful season since the championship team of 1961. MP started the season on the local turf against Myrtle Creek. MP came out on top 39-0 as the ‘Cat offense gained 350 yds. while holding MC to a mere 40 yds. rushing. Waldport was the next team to succumb to the Bobcats. Franzen led the TD barrage with four while Grant and Pullen scored two each. In the final non-league tilt of the season, MP clashed with ninth rated Douglas. The Bobcat defense proved too strong for the Trojans and the ‘Cats triumphed 27-7 for their third win of the season. Pullen passed for two TD’s and ran for another to lead the offensive attack. League play began against highly rated Brookings. Grant, Johnson and Franzen each tallied once for MP, but the Bruins powerful offense proved too strong for the Bobcat s defense and Brookings piled up a 20-6 halftime lead, and then romped on to a 34-20 victory. In the homecoming tilt, MP conquered arch-rival Coquille 28-6. With the help of Grant's two touchdowns and Franzen and Pullen chipping one each, the ‘Cats were never in trouble.

Bobcat 11 Runner-up in Sunsef Conference In the third league game of the season, the Pacific Pirates were determined to upset the Bobcats. At half-time neither team had scored and the outcome was still in question until MP finally put together two sustained drives; one being for 61 yds. and the other for 96. Grant’s 23 yd. romp was the finale to the 61 yd. drive while Johnson’s eight yd. jaunt was the finale to the 96 yd. drive. Galloway kicked one extra point to make the score 13-0. Traveling to Gold Beach the next week, MP won its sixth game of the campaign. GB scored at the beginning of the game. MP wasn’t able to score until the third stanza on Pullen’s two yard jaunt to paydirt. Galloway s toe proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Bandon was the final Sunset encounter. The winner of the game would have sole possession of runner-up spot in the league. MP jumped off to a 19-7 halftime lead, but had to score two more TD’s in the final quarter to clinch the victory and make the final score 32-13. Pullen tallied three times and Johnson twice.

With 21 wins and one loss, the Bobcats established the best basketball record in the school’s history. The Bobcat quint earned a berth in the state A-2 tourney at Coos Bay. The Bobcats were noted for their defense, shooting ability and team work. All of these factors played an important part in the Bobcats defeating their first 10 opponents. Central Linn was the first Bobcat victim, falling 34-32 in an exciting contest. The Cobras couldn’t keep up the pace and fell again the following night to the to the 'Cats 57-30.

In the ’Cats second meeting with Coquille, Reeves’ crew dropped their first game of the season. The Bobcat defense never got rolling as they absorbed a 67-44 defeat and fell into a first place tie with Coquille in the Sunset conference.

Coach Marvin Scherpf's outfit started the season with only three returning letter-men and one senior. This year the club boasts 12 returning lettermen and one freshmen. Hitting was not a real problem for the Bobcats, they just couldn’t handle the ball and lost several games due to errors. The Bobcats went through 12 games without a victory. The first victory was over Siuslaw 10-8. Out-hitting the opponents 12-5, the Bobcats never trailed in the contest and Robinson was the first winning Bobcat pitcher. McCurdy went 2 for 4 and knocked in four runs while Grisham and Lancaster each had 2 RBI’s. Coquille was the next Bobcat victim as the Red Devils witnessed a 3-2 defeat. Hartley was the winning pitcher and Grisham knocked in three runs with two singles. The Bobcats final victory was over Pacific, 3-1.

Track 29 Leadership School Board Plans Building Program With the major problem of the Myrtle Point school system being that of an overcrowded high school, members of the school board were forced to take positive action in an effort to start a building program. When, in time, the building is completed, it will be a single story structure with a capacity for some 600 high school students. Present plans call for eight classrooms and a library. This initial building will at first serve as an elementary school, and in time as more wings are added to the institution, it will be converted into an adequate high school for the Myrtle Point area. Another problem of starting a building program, is that of gaining the support of the taxpayers to approve the bond issue necessary for the construction of the building. This is due to the heavy taxation of property. It is also partly due to the problem of ranchers and farmers of the area struggling to overcome the damage done to grazing lands during the flood which hit the Coquille Valley last December. Joe Stewart, superintendent of school district 41, proudly displays miniature high school which is scheduled for construction in the near future. Serving on the school board for district 41 during the 1964-1965 school year were Reed Gurney, Kenneth Laird, Frank Meldrum, John Menegat, Howard Winkelman, Doris Belloni, Hollis Mast, and Bob Thompson. Administration 32 Bill Gassman completed his fifth year os district accountant and purchasing agent. Administration Sfeuurf Heads District m Finding themselves confronted with numerous problems throughout the district, members of the Myrtle Point school board labored many hours searching for solutions to their problems. Headed by Joe Stewart, district superintendent, Myrtle Point’s school board consisting of seven members and a clerk, faced the job of providing the district with an efficient school system. A good district superintendent must among other qualifications, be a leader capable of solving even the most complex problems of a school district. Other qualifications necessary for being a good district superintendent are friendliness and a willingness to accept responsibility. Mr. Stewart has maintained these characteristics throughout his three year term in office. Paula Cook, graduate of Oregon State University, continued as clerk for the school district. Mrs. Cook's duties included recording minutes at school board meetings and being legal representative of the district. With 450 students in attendance at MPHS, the greatest problem confronting the school board was that of an overcrowded high school. Three “early bird’’ classes added to the schedule this year accounted for a 100 per cent plus occupation of all classrooms. Two to three additional “early bird” classes are on the ajenda for next fall. Acquiring a building site for a new high school is now being negotiated. Plans for the new one story building are on display for the school at the district office on Spruce Street. A building date for the school has not yet been established due to financial problems. Other problems facing the board this past year were the approving of additional classes to be offered to students both on the elementary and secondary level. The school is for example, planning a new class in carpentry to be added to the high school curriculum this year with an emphasis placed on classes for “problem learners” and an opportunity for students to participate in vocational classes at Southwestern Oregon College. This program included such classes as business machines, machine shop, welding, and forestry. Administration 33 Preparing money for a bank deposit is lllma Lehmanowsky, high school secretary.

Administration 35 SHARON HOWE BOB HOWELL Student Body President Student Body Vice President Student Council 36 Student Council Sponsors Homecoming Keeping in mind the welfare of Myrtle Point high school, members of student council worked hand in hand with the adminstration to promote communication and understanding between students and teachers. The standing committees of student council were: juke box, activity, evaluation, interclass rivalry, and finance. The constitutional revision committee, headed by Jacquie Watzling, proposed a number of amendments including a parliamentarian to be added to the list of student body officers. It was also decided to give a vote to club representatives on issues brought before the council which concerned the the clubs. These amendments went into effect immediately after being ratified by the student body. Student council sponsored many projects during the year. The year got off to a running start when homecoming activities got under way in October. Working in parallel lines to the homecoming theme, ‘'Spirit of Bobcat Land,” both classes and clubs did their share of the work in preparing for the celebration. Turning then, to more serious projects, student council purchased a new projector screen for the cafe-torium. A public address system was purchased for the gymnasium. Money making projects for the year included handling concessions at games and the selling of back-saver seats during basketball season.

This meaningful scripture verse taken from Matthew 5:16, was the theme for the Christian Youth Club. The CYC, a non-denominational club, strived to to instill in the minds of its members the fact that it made no real difference to which church the individual belonged. This was a club that encouraged students to believe and worship God. During the year the Christian Youth Club held bi-monthly meetings, skating parties and sing-spirations. Using the Bible as their main source of study, the Christian Youth club heard guest speakers which included ministers from various churches in the Myrtle Point area. CYC members discussed such questions as, “Why is it so hard for a Christian teenager to witness to other youth? and “Why is it so hard to make teenagers, who have been taught against God, learn to believe in Him?

More than once, this was the answer, prior to last school year, when the question was asked “Why don't the boys group together. The unenthusiastic answer was indicative of the attitude before last year. Behind the enthusiasm of several male students, a Boys' League was organized with Jim King, school vice principal, as counselor. During their first meeting, in March, the boys exercised their freedom of democracy by electing officers to lead them in their initial year. Don Mast was chosen to preside over the group with Wayne Cook, vice president; Boyd Leibelt, secretary-treasurer; and Al Bartlett, sergeant-at-arms. Where to start was the first problem of the organization. In the leagues’ second meeting, members decided to form a white-shirt section, an effort which brought pride to the organization and noise to the gym at MPHS during basketball games. In January, representatives from various branches of the armed forces informed the boys of their programs. Questions were asked and a full discussion was the result. During its “year of trial'' the newly founded Boys' League created school spirit and learned more about the way they will witness as men. Boys League officers for 1964-65 were: Al Bartlett, sergeant-at-arms; Boyd Leibelt, secretary; and Wayne Cook, vice president Boys League 56 Lettermen’s Club Gnrolls 65 Members With approximately a membership of 65, the Myrtle Point High School Letterman's Club was the largest in the school's history.

Band 67 Academics Language Arts Onstalls £a6 Gquipment MPHS language arts department has been constantly improving. The French department acquired the latest audio-lingual equipment for teaching. Five units were installed by Richard Van Duine, science supervisor, and plans are to add more units in the next few years. In addition the French department increased its source of material by purchasing records during the summer. The records included prose and poetry delivered by some of the foremost living French artists, as well as songs ranging from folk music through opera to contemporary music. Another field in this department is humanities. “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey,” two famous works by Homer, were read and studied by the second period humanities class. Oral book reports and written research papers were required assignments. They also studied the history of western civilization. Students in English IV frequently submitted essays for various contests. College prep classes, a division of English IV, learned reading comprehension through the use of reading labs. English II students read books by William Shakespeare. Essays were written on various subjects and book reports were frequently requested. Freshmen English students were taught the parts of speech and how to spell them correctly. Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” was studied comprehensively. Gail Smith and Margaret Schuddakopf were the freshmen English instructors. Andrew Lundy and Alice Everest taught junior English for 1964-65 school year. Poetry was studied and analyzed along with the study of plays such as “Our Town.” Short stories including “The Flight” by John Steinbeck were also read. Four book reports, one per nine weeks, were handed in by the English III students. Dan Hassett, Sandra Eppler, and Vicki Abel operate the assisting. ANDREW M.

Science Students Conduct Gxperiments With sputniks, flying saucers and rockets gaining recognition for a countries power, American educators began to stress science and math more than ever before. MP educators, too, advanced their programs of learning to a higher degree. Myrtle Point's science program consisted of chemistry, physics, earth science, biology and general science. Physics and chemistry presented a challenge to students as they conducted experiments, attended lectures and took weekly tests. Mixing chemicals in lab was fun, while an unknown equation required extensive work. Students in physics and chemistry studied light, electricity, heat, molecules, acids and matter; while earth science classes studied geology, meteorology and geologic time. Biology taught by Guido Caldarazzo was a requirement for sophomores. Students studied classification of animals and plants, and dissected animals to determine their function. General science instructor, Vern Wertz, introduced students to the basic fundamentals of science. Wert's students studied behavior, classification of plants and animals and and man’s environment.

Now, that which is in every sector of his imagination is alive and real to him. Creativeness becomes a part of an art student’s life and existence as he struggles to reach perfection. Richard Payne, MPHS art instructor, strived to instill in the minds of his art students the principles of originality, freedom, creativeness and neatness. In art I, beginning students started out with simple shapes, water coloring, block printing, stenciling, sculpture and art history. Art II students learned oil painting, figure drawing, sculpturing heads, advertising and cartooning.

Social science classes at MPHS offered students vast knowledge in the fields of economics, world and national affairs and world cultures. Modern problems students found themselves better informed through the use of “Newsweek” magazine. Bringing to view problems in economics, labor, religion and social living, modern problems students became better informed about national and international events. In addition seniors learned how to complete income tax forms. Teaching students the fundamentals of American democracy was the major aim of U.S. history classes. Students participated in panel discussions, gave book reports and took examinations. Topics of discussion ranged from campaign speeches to foreign affairs. Junior U.S. history students also studied the constitution and became familiar with their rights as United States citizens. World history provided students with a background in ancient civilizations, early cultures, religion and government. Through research in areas such as art and early implements of man, students developed a greater appreciation of mankind in his never-ending struggle for prestige.

Social Science 83 Industrial Arts off cvs Vocational draining “Thus all men must work; with head or hand, for self or others, good or ill. Life is ordained to bear, like land, some fruits, be fallow as it will. This quotation from Richard Milnes, describes both the qualifications and expectations of Myrtle Point students who enrolled in the industrial arts program. Although introductory shop is an elective course, it is required for students who wish to take advanced classes. The aim of the program was to give the student an idea of what is expected in arts and crafts, drafting, metal shop and wood shop. Members of the arts and crafts class worked with copper tooling, wood carving, sculpturing, ceramics and leather crafts. Interest was high in drafting this year. Two years ago one small drafting class was held; this year three classes were held. Drafting ll was also offered for the first time. In metal shop, instructor Lloyd Wells, expressed the need for exactness of measurements and smooth finish. Metal shop I students Jearned the background of sheet metal, welding and forging. Metal shop II students spent most of the year working with machines. Mr. Wells also instructed the woodworking classes. This year they made a change from hand woodworking to machine woodworking. First year students learned how to operate the machines, while the advanced classes worked on proper procedure and exactness.

Physical education instructors, Sharon Colahan and Marjory Lane stressed sportsmanship and gymnastic skills. Fundamental body movements, for exercises were emphasized for some classes, while other classes enjoyed a unit of recreational skills. The unit of recreational skills gave the girls an opportunity to enjoy bowling, baseball, soccer and archery. Due to the terrific change in dancing styles, the basic dancing lesson of the fox trot, waltz, box step and the swing were eliminated this year in the morning classes of co-educational physical education. However, freshmen boys still participated with the fifth and sixth period girls in learning the co-ordination of rhythmn and foot movements. Sophomore girls had a unit of cross country, while junior girls participated in outdoor track events. An American Association of Health and Physical Education recreation test was given to the girls in the fall, to find their individual and physical abilities.

At the beginning of the year, a physical fitness ability test was given to boys. From the re'sults of this test, PE instructors would know what activities to stress during the year. During the first nine weeks the boys participated in basketball, archery, soccer and football. Gymnastics, wrestling, track events, table tennis and baseball were played during the winter and spring months. Mike Grisham, senior, who showed a high degree of proficiency, was used in some PE classes as a student instructor. Grisham helped students to learn the fundamentals of physical activity and organized interclass games. During PE ill class, Everett Weber officiates a wrestling match between Wayne Carpenter and Norman Parrish. MP physical education instructor, Jock Reeves, explains the basic fundamentals of dancing to students Jan Choate and Danny Brown. Home Economics Receives Scms-Roc uc CJrant For the first time in the history of Myrtle Point High School's home economics department, over 100 girls participated in the program which aided them in preparing for their future role as homemakers. Mrs. Gloria Evernden instructed home economics I and III while home economics II and IV were taught by Mrs. Sharon Colahan. Each year the department adds to its facilities and with this year came the addition of five new electric mixettes. Subjects about which girls were familiarized included sewing, child care, nutrition, grooming, dating, getting along with ones own family, cooking, home nursing, making draperies, reupholstery, interior decorating, house planning, insurance, and preparation for future vocations such as marriage, scholars and teachers. This year the home economics IV department adopted a new activity wherein each Friday they prepared a dinner and invited faculty members. Late in November the home economics department was awarded a 75 dollar grant from the Sears Roebuck Foundation for conducting demonstration meals.

The main objective of the commercial department was to prepare students in the business fields. Julia Duke completed her tenth year as typing instructor. Approximately 108 Tirst year students and 15 second year students were enrolled in typing classes. In first year typing students learned the typewriter key placements; how to coordinate their fingers; and the correct forms for typing business letters, themes and reports. Second year typing students were taught to develop the skills they learned in first year typing and to improve speed and accuracy. Shorthand, also taught by Julia Duke, introduced 16 students to a quicker and more uniform method of taking notes. Marjorie Zumwalt, new to the business department this year, taught 43 students fundamentals in bookkeeping. Bookkeeping students learned how to work trial balances, ledgers, journals, and balance sheets. After mastering these functions, students completed practice sets which included the complete business transaction. Home economics IV students, Linda Dale and Sheri Oden, contribute to the noon luncheon with the faculty by preparing hot rolls.

In 1929 Myrtle Point High School’s vocational agriculture program started under the Smith Hughes Act. Approximately 25 students were enrolled in agriculture classes. Through the years the vocational agriculture program caught fire and today 53 students are enrolled in classes. Knowledge gained by students is unlimited. In fact throughout the years students have planned and built three buildings which serve as classrooms. Stressing that there will be a change in agriculture, from country to urban living, Instructor Verlin Hermann’s students spend most of the year learning the proper care of homes, gardens, lawns and the proper use of fertilizers, all of which prepared the students for living in our changing society. Second year agriculture students did research on farm crops and fertilizers. They also learned the importance of chemicals in modern agriculture. Third and fourth year students specialized in landscaping, pruning trees and the proper use of modern chemicals. New equipment in the Ag. dept, this year included a power saw and numerous hand tools.

With it went all the challenges, frustrations, excitement and disappointments we experienced while creating the book. Now it is all yours. It is your story, — what you did in the year 1964-65. Last fall when it all started. Room 12, the home of The Bobcat, was full of empty picture files, blank pages, and conflicting ideas as to how the yearbook should be constructed. But as the year grew the book gradually began to take shape. Pictures were taken, blank pages were filled and ideas became realities. However, our year was not all filled with success. Problems seemed to be ever present when copy, pictures, or cutlines were lost and when “just the right picture 1 was nowhere to be found. But these problems were quickly remedied when our basketball and wrestling teams went to state and our FFA boys went to Kansas City. However these were only a few of the achievements that were accomplished during the year. We believe special recognition should be given to individuals for their special efforts. Without their help this book would never have been completed. First, my appreciation goes to The Bobcat staff for their cooperation and the product of their hard work. Phyllis Countryman of the Myrtle Point Herald and the Camera Club were equally helpful in providing the staff with those “emergency pictures. To the staff of Kennell-Ellis studio, to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Paffrath, to the World and to Brown’s studio of North Bend, we salute you for your help. My thanks to the faculty for their continued support and to Chuck Humble who assisted our staff in selling ads. The final deadline in March brought the personal satisfaction that is felt when a job is well done. The photographic year is over and staff members have gone their separate ways. Now, we present to you our product, which we hope captured the 1964-65 year as you experienced it. Linda Coffman Bobcat Editor Acknowledgment 160 -
