Activities 4 A Year of Memories 1965-66 A year of thrills and excitement, the light and color of a football game, the melodious tones of a well-rehearsed band, the pleased roar when our fellow pins his man. But more than that, 1965-66 was a time of quiet thought, concern for the future, seeing the world open to view, and knowing that you are important. “COME ON YOU GUYS, hustle! ’ Junior varsity guard Mike Edwards waits impatiently for coach Marv Scherpf to give the go-ahead nod. “WE’RE THE BEST! We're the b-e-s-t, best! Bobcats are the Best! Pep Club members, supported by the juniors, yelled enthusiastically at a pep assembly. KATHI FRANZEN, senior, ruled over homecoming festivities ot Myrtle Point. Don Brewster, student body president, served os Kothi's escort. A Week To Remember Delightfully balmy weather and tremendously high spirits started homecoming week off with a bang. Birds sang . . . students scurried about shouting instructions as to what went where on the floats. Yea! Go Man Go!. . . Come On Dave! . . . The tricycle race caused a furor as the contestants sped down the street. The playing of the “Star Spangle Banner,” BOOOM!. . . the game was underway. . . halftime and the band marched with only tiny blue lights on their caps . . .

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, Frank Grove keeps time during a JV football game as Connor Bell, on avid fan, watches the game. The Sounds of Life We observe and we absorb all that goes on around us. The bright lights and loud cheers of a basketball game. The excited gasp when the homecoming queen of 1965 is announced. The rumble of voices raised to salute the flag before each assembly. The experience of no sound at all when the crowd is all gone. We absorb and we learn. AMUSED FACES WATCH the fun of the tricycle race during Haddock.

Activities 11 All School Cast Presents “ (ie Mouse Sfiaf Roared,’ a 2-Act Political Satire “The Mouse That Roared ’ a two-act political satire, was presented by a 30 member all-school cast November 19-20, in the high school cafeteria. Arthur Motz,served as director for the production. Joan Dement, Bob Howell, Dan Ellis and Larry Meier played lead roles in the all-school production. A cast of 30 students performed for a capacity crowd both evenings. After many hours of preparation opening night arrived. The cast took a deep breath and striaghtened their costumes. This was the night, and it would either make or break tham. “All right you guys, this is it . . . Hey, Meier, fix your moustache . . . Hand me that script over there ... I |ust forgot my first line . . . Now don’t forget to . . . CURTAIN, everyone . . . Everyone in your places’ . . . and the play began. The action of the play centered around the small kingdom of Grand Fenwick. When the small country’s livelihood, the production of a wine called Pinot Grand Fenwick, was threatened by a company in California, Gloriana XII, played by Joan Dement, decided that action must be taken. David Benter, played by Dan Ellis, and Count Mount joy, played by Larry Meier, as leaders of rival parties, couldn’t agree on the necessary action. Finally Tully Bascom, a simple-minded forest ranger, played by Bob Howell, was selected to wage war with the United States. By a freak accident, Bascom and his army kidnapped head government officials and concluded they had won the war. Throughout the performance the characters maintained a high professional level through well timed actions and gestures. The costuming was excellent. Larry Meier as Count Mountjoy complete with curly white hair moustache and Dan Ellis in his bowler and high collar, kept the audience laughing with their witty remarks and stage appearance. THE COURT OF GRAND FENWICK deliberates on the possibility of war with the United States. FROM LEFT: Count Mountjoy (Lorry Meier), (Joan Dement), Helen (Janet Miller), and David Benter (Dan Ellis).

PEP BAND STUDENTS assem POPCORN — 10 CENTS A BAG ' was a familiar sound as classes and clubs operated concession stands at home games. Juniors John Meldrum and Sheryl Huntley were among the many students who devoted their time to earn money for their class. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU sang a somewhat off-key journalism class as they waited eagerly for guest of honor Dan Brewster to cut the cake. AROUND AND AROUND WENT HEADS and shoulders as Bobcat players limbered-up for another evening of hard work and practice in preparation for the weekend games. Activities 16 A Feeling of Pride A high school is memories. Remembering the small things with the important, being the only boy in a group of noisy girls. Listening to half time instruction but not really hearing, and wearing that small blue stamp that brands you as a Myrtle Point fan. DURING A TIME OUT members of the JV team get a pep talk from Jack Reeves, coach. OUTNUMBERED four to one a frosh boy joins in a quick chat between classes. “FOR SECURITY MEASURES ONLY,’ states Elsie Downing when stamping Howard Porter before entering a basketball game. Honors Section Nortdup, Dement, Gop Students Our abilities, our talents, and our knowledge are shaped by our own hands. To attain the best we must be willing to give ourselves, our whole selves to the job that must be done. Some use words; others their hands, these simple tools, common to all of us, express a feeling, an idea or create objects unique in a way all its own. Here we are attempting in a small way to show honor to those who have proven themselves capable of the excellent. Their accomplishments are numerous and varied, but all of them have one thing in common, the determination to prepare themselves as people able to contribute something to society. These are the leaders of tomorrow. They have worked hard and long to bring pride to their school, their families, but most of all, to themselves.

The Bobcats faltered in the second game of the double header and dropped a 4-1 decision. Harold Hartley threw a five hitter, but his teammates could muster only three hits, as the Pointers evened their record at 3-3. Pat McCurdy’s three run homer propelled the Bobcats past Pacific, 6-4, for their fourth and final league victory. McCurdy also received credit for the win.

John Franzen, MP’s unpresidented hurdler, turned in top clockings of 15.0 and 20.6 in the low and high hurdles at the district meet. Franzen’s stint in the lows set a new school record while his clocking in the highs tied the standing record. Sprinter Bob Van Vlack turned in his finest effort of the season to wrap up the 440 title in the district meet with a time of 53.2. Reed Gurney also qualified for the state meet as he was runner-up to John Franzen in both the high and low hurdles. Although Gurney captured first place in the pole vault early in the season at the Hayward Relays, he failed to place in district competition. Distance ace, Don Mast, toured the two mile event in 10: 10.3 to earn himself a spot in the state meet. Mast erased the school record in his event with a timing of 9:59.8 earlier in the season. In the state competition he finished eighth. Vic Murray and Keith Hill finished fourth and fifth respectively in the two mile race. Bill Neal and Lloyd Grant anchored the ’Cats weight field. Grant finished second in the shot put, while Neal captured third place in the javelin and discus.

Basketball Ray Leading Scorer Coach Frank Grove’s eagers compiled a record of nine wins and 13 losses during the 1965-66 season. For the Bobcats it was a year of rebuilding. The Bobcats were led by two big men - Steve Ray and Dennis Waterman. Both were second team all-district choices. Waterman, the only repeating senior from last year's championship squad, was the Bobcat's second high scorer and rebound leader. Ray, a junior, finished the year as MP’s leading scorer. Ray averaged 16.8 points per game in Sunset play. Ray’s 31 point effort against Brookings was the second highest scoring feat in league play. Myrtle Point’s back court combination of Dennis Dayton and Wayne Carpenter averaged 8.6 and five points per game. A regular most of the season, Jerry Brodie averaged eight points per game. Myrtle Point survived a rough pre-league schedule with a 2-5 record. Their two wins were against Reedsport of the North Coast League. The Bobcats opened Sunset action with a bang, as the ‘Cats defeated Gold Beach and Pacific on successive nights. Steve Ray flipped in a jump shot in the closing seconds to salvage a two point win from Gold Beach. The next evening the ‘Cats had a 30 point fourth quarter and dropped Pacific, 59-36. MP then dropped five straight -to Brookings, Bandon, Coquille, South Umpqua and Gold Beach before downing Pacific for the second time. The ‘Cats then put together possibly their best effort of the season by downing Brookings 75-59. After being trounced by Coquille in their first meeting 81-54, the Bobcats employed some slow 'em down tactics in in the two teams second meeting and the Red Devils were held to a season low of 40 points. In this low scoring encounter, the ‘Cats trailed 14-6 at halftime - before losing 40-27. In the final round of the three league schedule, the ‘Cats rolled past Gold Beach 61-60, Brookings 68-66 and Pacific 52-42. MP closed out the home season by losing to Bandon 55-54.

The Bobkittens were upset in their opener, 12-0, by Coquille but came back the following week to gain a tie against North Bend, 19-19. The JV's hit the win column for the first time by walloping Brookings, 47-6, and continued their winning ways by downing Gold Beach 13-0. The high point of the JV season was when Coach Scherpfs squad stopped the Marshfield sophomores 19-14. After dropping the Bandon Tigers earlier in the year, 12-0, the junior varsity dropped their final game of the year to the Tigers 19-14. The running and passing of quarterback Tom Krewson was instrumental while running backs, John Nelson and Dan Krewson enjoyed a fine season. Dave Evans and Larry Childers were cited for their fine line play and Brad Bosco and Rick Van Duine were lauded for their pass catching efforts. Football 35 Football Bobcats Compile 6-3 Record Coach Jack Reeves’ football crew ended the season with an impressive 6-3 mark. Facing the loss of nine of the previous year's starting 11, the 1965 season was one of rebuilding. With only five seniors on the squad, Reeves realized that the juniors must come into their own, if Myrtle Point was to enjoy another fine season. The juniors responded and the ‘Cats proved the preseason polls incorrect by placing second in Sunset Conference play, instead of fifth as the experts had predicted. Myrtle Point was edged 7-6 in the season opener against South Umpqua. Russ Stout scored the lone touchdown after recovering a blocked punt in the end zone. From the initial loss, the ‘Cots ripped off five straight victories and by mid-season, the ‘Cats found themselves in a first place tie with the Bandon Tigers. Glide was the first to fall, as the ‘Cats ground their way to a 14-0 victory. Walt Hogan scored from one yard out, while Wayne Carpenter tallied from the four and added two extra points. The Bobcats needed only one tally to defeat Douglas as the ‘Cats tenacious defense earned their second straight shutout. Rich Belloni connected on a 32 yard aerial with end Dan Brewster for the score. With a 2-1 non-league record, Coach Reeves and company invaded arch-rival Coquille. After battling to a 7-7 first half tie, the Bobcats exploded for two second half touchdowns and a 19-7 win. Bob Van Vlack, Rich JV FOOTBALL.

District 41, one of the largest districts of the state ranges from the Douglas County line on the east, just outside of Powers to the south, west almost to Bandon and north just outside of Coquille. Last year District 41 had an assessed valuation of over eight million dollars. Superintendent Joe Stewart is well known in Oregon educational circles. For the past 23 years Stewart has served as district superintendent in several Oregon districts. Each year the board of education is faced with many problems ranging from the budget to over crowded conditions. This year was no exception. District 41 has 1,524 students enrolled. Eighty-nine certified teachers make up the teaching staff, a ratio of 17 students per teacher. Along with 89 certified people, 46 other classified persons are employed by the district. School board members represent all walks of life -ranchers, businessmen and professional people. Along with the school board members, elected by the voters, one-half of the budget committee is composed of appointed members. Eight schools comprise district 41. These schools are served by 15 bus routes. This year the board of education approved the further development of the problem learners class and remedial classes in reading were continued.

Enrollment Largest in History Sfudenfs Ga6e 9oiua, CGGB ‘Gests This year Myrtle Point High School had the largest enrollment in history. In 1965-66, 463 students were enrolled. With this number of students enrolled at Myrtle Point, one of the greatest problems was that of over crowding. To combat this situation several early bird classes were added to the schedule. Parallel to the overcrowding situation, was the problem of testing. Testing the development and ability of students was one of many projects. The ITED, Iowa Test of Educational Development, and the Otis Intelligence Test are two tests which every high school took. Also available were the Preliminary Scholastic Apritude Test, National Merit Test, Employment Office Aptitude Test and the College Entrance Examination Board series. Under the National Defense Education Act, Myrtle Point was able to purchase new equipment. NDEA aid anywhere from 25-75% of the total cost. Items purchased under NDEA included several movie and slide projectors and numerous screens. During the summer months the gym floor and cafeteria floors were refinished, while several rooms received a new coat of paint. This year heralded the introduction of IBM report cards. The change became necessary because of increased enrollment. With this simplified IBM system, clerical time and confusion was diminished. With the IBM cards it was possible to keep track of information that was hard to file. McCrea completed his second year as principal, and Jim King, vice-principal, completed his eighth year on the high school staff. Others on the staff were Mrs. Illma Lehmanowsky, who completed her 13th year as registrar. Grace Stemmier, assistant secretary, completed her first year on the staff.

Mrs. Thrift came to Myrtle Point after six years as cook at Arago. Mrs. Thrift became head cook last year. Naming golf as her hobby, Mrs. Thrift said, “I enjoy golf, but play only in the summer.” In her second year on the cooking staff, Flo Egelhoff said of her duties, “It’s awfully hard to tell what teenagers will eat on a given day.” Coming to the high school after being employed as a telephone operator, Mrs. Egelhoff singled out as her hobbies, sewing, fishing and refinishing furniture. “Fishing for salmon is one of my biggest enjoyments,” Mrs. Egelhoff commented. Completing her fourth year as laundress, Dixie Clement moved from a cafeteria substitute to her full time job in 1962. As part of her job, Mrs. Clement washes between eight and nine hundred towels a day besides washing all the athletic and physical education uniforms for the district. Mrs. Clement enjoys knitting and crocheting. Keeping the building in tip-top shape was the aim of Myrtle Point’s custodians. Mel Floyd completed his third year as custodian and bus driver. In working the day shift, he pointed out his duties as “just keeping things moving smoothly during the day.” As his hobbies Floyd enjoys hunting and fishing.

The amended constitution provided for an inter-club council and the addition of two new student body offices — parliamentarian and chaplain. One amendment to lower the grade point requirement for student body officers and rally members was defeated at the polls. Interclub council eliminated the need for club representatives to attend student council. The amendment speeded up the work of the regular student council.

This year NHS had 30 members. The purpose of NHS was to give special recognition to students outstanding in leadership, scholarship, character and service. Students with a 3.00 grade point average or better were considered for membership. H. Gail Smith, English teacher, served as faculty advisor. Activities for NHS included a grand-prix tricycle race during homecoming festivities, selling concessions at athletic events, holding a progressive dinner, attending a'bowling party, going on a sand dune outing and sponsoring a picnic in the spring. During the year NHS members listened to guest spea- kers. One of the speakers was Curt Beckham, mayor of Myrtle Point. Beckham spoke about the responsibilities as citizen owes to his community. Dwelling on many myths citizens acquire concerning the management of city hall, Beckham brought out that many of the problems stem from county and state jurisdiction.

Long hours of preparation, high hopes, and anxious waiting led up to the fun-filled journey to the state meeting in Corvallis. Earlier in the year FHA members traveled to Drain and attended the district conference. During holiday seasons FHA members contributed to Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. Toys were repaired and given to needy children at Christmas. Informal initiation found 25 girls going through feats of bravery such as walking on eggs blindfolded and proposing to the janitor. Formal initiation ceremonies were held in October. Uniforms constituted one of the many changes in FHA. Last year saw the introduction of white blazers and red wool skirts.

Competition appeared almost everywhere in FFA. During the summer months FFA members participated in the Coos, Curry, Douglas and Josephine county fairs, the Oregon State fair and the Pacific International Exposition. Besides participating in fairs, FFA members entered shop skills contests, public speaking events and parliamentary procedure contests. In keeping with a national policy of giving a Home-lite chain saw to numerous Future Farmers of America chapters, the Mike and Fritz Homelite Saw Shop of Myrtle Point, donated a 1965 model XL 12 saw to the chapter. The saw was used for pruning trees, bushes and shrubs. In the spring FFA members rotatilled garden plots for townspeople and patrons of the district.

CYC Hears Quest Speakers IRL Members Attend Confabs Promoting international good will was the theme of the International Relations League. With over 40 members to draw from, enthusiastic response was received during the fall conference, regional and spring conferences. Projects this last year were centered around preparation for the conference concerning Africa that was held at the University of Oregon. IRL is not a money making organization and the projects were primarily for the advancement of knowledge and service. Last spring the IRL supported Mrs. Stan Knight when she started the American Field Service chapter in Myrtle Point. One of the IRL’s major goals was to encourage the foreign exchange program. Later that spring the IRL sponsored a five dollar a plate dinner to raise money for an AFS exchange student. Activities for the members included several movies on Afr ica and a visit to a foreign ship that came into the harbor in Coos Bay. The captain was invited to the club meeting and then a visit to his ship was planned. Formed to give teenagers spiritual strength and instruction was the purpose of the Christian Youth Club. Providing guest speakers bi-monthly was a very important part of the CYC program. Ministers, evangelists, singers, and student speakers from Coquille, Arago, Greenacres, Broadbent, Bridge, and Myrtle Point spoke about vital issues in the lives of teenage Christians. Messages on marriage, prayer, forgiveness of sin, and God’s leading gave CYC members spiritual strength. In addition to the weekly meetings, CYC jointly sponsored a Halloween party with the Baptist youth group, aided in planning the Youth Rally held the second Saturday of each month, and planned Fifth Quarters which provided after game entertainment. Contributing to Homecoming week activities and spirit, CYC members labored to complete their float by Friday. Hebrews 13:8 provided the theme, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

When the FFA boys challenged the GAA girls to a donkey basketball game, the girls had little idea of the time they were in for. As the name implies, donkey basketball involves trying to score against your opponent, while riding an unco-operative donkey. After several spills and scrapes, the GAA girls won. Special athletic groups during the year included a balance beam crew. Members were Gretha Gal lino, Donna McClellan, Norma Gross and Rosetta Hurst. Miss Rose Jackman, GAA advisor, organized a girls basketball team. The team, composed of 30 girls, compiled a 1-3 season.

At the Thanksgiving assembly the choir presented two of the basic principles of American life in song - religion and patriotism as reflected in the songs of its people. At Christmas time the freshman choir sang Christmas carols and went carolling. The All-State Choir Festival held in March was composed of top choir students from throughout the state, performed at the Oregon Education Association Convention in Portland. Bob Howell and Nora Haddock, senior choir members, were members of this select choir. On the final Choir 62 evening of the festival the All-State Choir joined the All-State Band and performed at the OEA banquet. The folk singers, a new group organized outside of the regular choir, were a special favorite wherever they performed. Accompaning themselves on the guitar, banjo and tamborine, the group members, Marcia Knight, Nora Haddock, Bob Howell, Jerry Caudle, Angela Metzgus and Karl Howell presented traditional folk music. Students attending the 18th annual ‘Music in May ’ festival at Pacific University were chosen for musicianship and by recommendation from the vocal instructor. The 400 voice choir was directed by Dr. Richard P. Condi, conductor of the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The freshman solo and ensemble contest was held in February, and the advanced contest held in April, gave choir members an opportunity to be judged by professional artists on the basis of talent, showmanship and style. In April the annual spring concert was held. Several periods and styles of music ranging from simple folk tunes, to Negro spirituals to intricate Latin religious songs were presented by the choral groups. FRESHMAN CHOIR.

Chorus 65 Band Qoyce ofinson Appears As Quest Soloist Witd MP Bund Filled with concerts, contests and parades this year offered band members an opportunity to experience the joy and the sorrow of performing music not only to please themselves, but to bring “a good show” to their audiences. It was soon evident to students that it would be a busy year, as band members plunged into music and marching routines. The marching band, led by drum major Ron Clark and majorettes Kathy Winkelman, Gayle Walton, Sherry Lind, Patsy Price, Beverly Hartley and Lana Bosco provided half-time and pre-game entertainment at all home football games. Leadership for the band was supplied by Ross Shepherd, president; Walt Hogan, vice president; and Gayle Walton, secretary-treasurer. They were assisted in their duties by numerous other band members who generously gave their time to keep band music, equipment and uniforms in order. Many evenings of practice were necessary as pep band, directed by Dan Ellis, prepared spirit music for the long basketball season. Highlighting the year’s concert program was the guest appearance of Miss Joyce Ann Johnson, first woman to ever play first trumpet with the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Miss Johnson, a native of Nebraska, is brass instructor in the Lewis and Clark College music department. Band members will remember the overnight trip to Forest Grove to perform an exchange concert. Visiting students stayed in the homes of the host band members. Spring brought the annual Southwestern Oregon band festival in Coquille. In May the annual spring concert for the bands in District 41 was held. Senior band awards were given to high school students who had completed four years of high school band. The John Phillip Sousa award, the music department award and the freshman band cup were awarded at the concert. Last year the Sousa award went to Sharon Howe; Becky Coffman received the departmental award and Mike Adams won the freshman band cup. Freshman band officers were Brad Bosco, president; Cindy Cole, vice president; Cammy Horner, secretary; and Dana Neal, student council representative. John Van-landingham served as student director for the freshman band. ROW 1, FROM LEFT: Linda Meader, Becky Noyes, Linda Southmayd, Bonnie Roth, Sally Hartless, Betsy Thompson, Pam Nelson.

The girls wore blue wool A-line skirts with buttoned jackets, red-white checkered blouses and red tennis shoes. Pep Club became noted for doing “hand routines ’ to music played by the pep band during pep assemblies and basketball games. As a money-making project, Pep Club members sold Bobcat sweatshirts and pennants. Other duties of members included making spirit signs and arranging transportation for students wanting to attend games at other schools. Pep Club officers were: Kathy Winkelman, president; Cindy Gibeau, vice president; Becky Mast, secretary and Carol Gassman, treasurer. A change was made in the election of the varsity rally. Five girls were chosen as pom-pom girls to do dance routines. Two girls were selected as cheerleaders to lead yells during games. Leading yells at Junior Varsity games were: Lana Bosco, Nancy Gross and Billie-Kay Robinson. Rally members paid for their uniforms by sponsoring car washes, dances, pie and cake raffles, candy sales, and bottle drives. Spirit ribbons were sold to the students by the rally.

Students in Don Wohler’s class began the year by memorizing journalism rules and learning to gather and condense information. After weeks of preparation, these fundamentals were mastered and the first Myrtle Leaf was published Oct. 1. Charles Humble, junior, edited the publication. Besides writing stories for the Myrtle Leaf, newspaper staff members wrote articles for the Myrtle Point Herald and the Coos Bay World. Scrambling to meet deadlines, Bobcat editors Evelyn Belanger and Marcia Knight and staff members stalked the halls taking pictures, reminding students of picture schedules and selling subscriptions. In Room 12 there was a flurry of activity as staff members wrote copy, heads and cutlines, arranged layouts and cropped pictures. For the seventh consecutive year the yearbook maintained its high standards by receiving first place ratings from National Scholastic Press Association, National School Yearbook Association and Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The Myrtle Leaf received a first place rating from National Scholastic Press for the eighth consecutive semester.

Academics 75 Science-Math Conduct experiments, Predict Weather HALL THOMAS, chemistry instructor, skillfully adds potassium nitrate to boiling water and others in demonstrating how to make potassium nitrate crystals. With more men orbiting the earth for longer durations of time, the United States plunged headlong into the space race. Because of these tremendous advances in science, MP science educators began to stress more than ever the high school science program. Biology, with an enrollment of 120, emphasized observation and direct experimentation. Students studied the plant and animal phylum and dissected small animals. Heredity experiments with fruit flies helped students understand the laws of inheritance. Vern Wertz, freshman general science instructor, had 100 enrolled in his classes. By studying various scientific fields students were able to choose advanced science courses. Chemistry, physics, and physical science students combined lectures, notes and laboratory experiments to utilize classroom time. Instructed by Hall Thomas the classes used support from the National Defense Act to purchase needed supplies and equipment. Chemistry students centered their studies around weekly lab experiments and problem assignments. In lab experiments students made various gases including carbon-dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen. By making solutions and crystals, students were able to further comprehend the theory of ionization. Chemistry used NDEA aid to buy more chemicals and laboratory equipment. Physical science students studied a wide field of study in course of the year, ranging from rocks to space ships. Their curriculum included such sciences as astronomy, meteorology, chemistry and earth science. As part of their course students predicted weather, examined fossils, and computed the efficiency of simple and compound machines. Physics, MP’s most advanced science course, offered students a chance to show their math abilities. Students used complicated formulas involving light and lenses in solving the problems, By using prisms, students were able to experiment with the spectrum of light. With mirrors, students studied the refraction of light. EXTENSIBLE QUADRILATERALS and triangles were used in Math II to determine the size of angles. Karl Howell and Linda Mobley recheck their measurements for accuracy. ELSIE V. DOWNING B.A. M.A. University of Oregon Mathematic s Junior Class Advisor FRANK K. GROVE B.S.

IS IT THIS way or that way?” wonders David Ritter while working a slide rule in Mrs. Downing's Math V class. Math instructor Elsie Downing demonstrated the use of the slide rule to Math V students at the beginning of the year. Science-Math 78 Math courses varied from general math to advanced modern analysis. Students enrolled in general and basic math reviewed the principles of algebra and geometry. Going up the mathematical scale students spent their time with graphs, linear equations and theorums. The advanced students of Math VI spent the year with the algebra of vectors and functions. Department members Elsie Downing, Richard Van Duine, Frank Grove and Vern Wertz used the same teaching technique, that of “discovery” supplemented with the use of audio-visual aids.

Since 1929, no organization or class has progressed and accomplished as much as the vocational agriculture and shop classes. Vocational classes were taught by Verlin K. Hermann, Loyd Wells and Ben Elliott. Vocational agriculture courses marked by modern teaching methods extended its curriculum in an attempt to provide a class to fit every student’s need. Under the guidance of Verlin K. Hermann, vocational agriculture students learned about living in an urban area, taking care of a garden and the correct use of fertilizer. Advanced agriculture students conducted research on farm crops and specialized in landscaping and pruning trees. Hermann, along with Ben Elliott, also instructed introductory shop. Introductory shop was open to every boy and was a prerequisite for advanced classes. Loyd Wells, metal shop instructor, emphasized welding, forging and sheet metal work. Wells also taught wood shop. For the first time in the history of the school a class in carpentry was offered. Twenty-one students enrolled. THE ART OF grafting is taught by Verlin K. Hermann, voc. ag. instructor.

Language Arts 82 College prep, taught by Fern Starr, emphasized vocabulary building and readfng comprehension. New speed reading programs and word creation assignments prepared seniors for college courses. English IV students, instructed by Archie Wilson, studied Beowulf, Macbeth and other forms of English literature. In the spring Wilson’s students reviewed the fundamentals of grammar and wrote essays. Humanities also played an active part in the literature development program. Humanities acquainted students with Homer’s 111 i ad, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Othello. Mythology, ancient history and poetry were also incorporated into the schedule. Speech students did pantomimes, humorous reading, debate and impromptu speaking. During the year several students entered the Voice of Democracy” and the United Nations” speech contests. Grammar, semitics, novels and short stories were stressed in the English I program. Gail Smith, Margaret Schuddakopf and Archie Wilson served as instructors. English III classes frequently submitted essays on topics such as The American Way of Life.” The students also read Moby Dick, The Red Badge of Courage and numerous short stories. Tony Agerter, English II instructor, emphasized grammar and usage. Sophomores wrote essays, read Julius Ceasar, took spelling tests and wrote numerous themes and short compositions.

Water colors or oil painting, ceram-or sculpturing ... all these can be an expression of human feeling in art. Under the direction of Richard Payne, Art I classes opened up a whole new world of design and ideas to beginning students.Through the use of the various media of chalk, charcoal, ink and water colors students learned to produce depth, known as perspective in their drawings. Art students also became acquainted with art history. Art II gave students their first opportunity to work with brilliant colors and textures of oil painting. Special study was given to the various fields of commercial art. In her first year as vocal instructor Alexa Chittick joined Les Simons in presenting a music program which instilled in students an appreciation of good music which marks good listeners, as well as performers. Particular emphasis was given to the relationship of music to its historical period. Advanced band members sight-read over 200 pieces of various styles of music.

In front of the Italian boot lie the islands of Corsica and Sardina; at its toe is Sicily; the Appalachian Mountains extend north and south along the eastern coast. World geography students became familiar with these geographical features in Marv Scherpf’s class. Scherpf also taught world history. His predominately sophomore world history class started the year by concentrating on Russian and Chinese history. The rise and fall of mighty nations were carefully traced, and many students wondered if the United States would follow the same pattern. World history was an elective open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. With the emphasis on current events, students in Richard Payne’s and Don Wohler's U.S. history classes learned the fascinating history of the American nation. In addition to routine class work, essays, pop quizzes and news reports prevented class time from becoming dull. U.S. history a required course for juniors had 104 enrollees.

Typing II classes advanced their abilities by typing business letters and office forms. Miss Duke’s shorthand class learned the fundamental phrases and shorthand characters the first semester. In the second semester shorthand students strived for speed and accuracy during dictation and daily practices from the manual. Oral readings by Miss Duke helped students gain experience of actual situations during dictation. From balance sheet to ledger, from journals to accounts, from receipts to journals. These routines went round and round in students' heads in Ordie Hoye’s bookkeeping classes. Bookkeeping students tried to master balance sheets, trial balances and practice sets.

We had no neatly laid out plans. All we had were a few vague ideas of what we thought a yearbook ought to be. But somehow in the rush of taking pictures and planning layout, we gradually began to learn what it was all about. We learned to make a page come alive with all the feeling of the moment, and more important we learned about each other. We learned to put up with an occasional cross word caused by the frustration of losing a whole page of layout, and experienced the mutual satisfaction of finding “just the right” picture or phrase to sum up an idea we had been struggling with for hours. Finally the day came when we saw that last page of the Bobcat go to press and felt sure of a job well done. Now we give it to you -THE 1966 BOBCAT. We only hope it will bring as many warm memories to you as we have experienced creating it. We feel special recognition should be given to those people who have helped in so many ways in producing the Bobcat. Without them it could never have been completed. Our special appreciation goes to the Bobcat staff for their long hours of work and dedication. Next we would like to state our appreciation to the faculty and administration of Myrtle Point High School for their cooperation and patience for the numerous interruptions for pictures and questions. To Mrs. Phyllis Countryman of the Myrtle Point Herald for her valuable help in securing numerous photographs. To Mr. and Mrs. Bob Paffrath, and staff of Kennell Ellis Studios for their professional help and advice. And to our many advertisers who supplied the much needed funds for the Bobcat. To all these people and many more, all we can say is “thanks” for the hard work, dedication, and concern that has gone into the making of the Bobcat. Now, as many of our staff members, as well as many of you, are leaving the halls of Myrtle Point High forever we can only hope that each time you look through the pages of this book the people and emotions of each moment captured on its pages may, even for a few seconds, live again.
