Bobcat Spirit School spirit is an illusive thing — So hard to describe. But it can be seen and heard and experienced. It is visible in the boistrous yell of a rally girl And the rapt attention during a pep assembly And even in the quiet of a classroom. FOR FRESHMAN RON DeWALD it is just one of those days that it is impossible to concentrate. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS reflect thoughts ranging from Hmmm, how about that?” to Oh no, they aren’t real!” as the seniors watch a skit by the pepsters.

STUDENTS CLUSTER IN HALLS, and make fun of each other and compare stuffed animals on the annual Hat and Stuffed Animal Day” during Spirit Week. Through a Year’s Events A school year is many different things and experiences. All at once it is loud and quiet, Happy and even a little sad. It’s the glamor and fun of prom night. It’s the noisy babble of voices ringing in the halls And laughter and smiles At funny hats and stuffed animals. It's freshmen and seniors And boys and girls And even a moment of Thought for one’s self. JUNIOR DAVID Horton pauses and reflects for moment before a panel discussion in vocational agriculture. WILLIAM RICHARDSON listens attentively while senior Clinton Carmen discusses his career plans Administration Students returning after their three month summer vacation met several new faces in the office. William Richardson was the principal, Art Motz, vice principal; Grace Stemmier, secretary; Jackie Hyde, assistant secretary, and Rose Jackman and Marv Scherpf, advisors. With the usual rush to change schedules, confusion reigned for the first couple of weeks and then everything began falling into place. To curb the large number of reoccurring unexcused tardies the office developed a new system. After receiving two unexcused tardies the student’s parents were notified and after the third tardy the student was expelled for a day. Many students were opposed to the method but the office and faculty decided it was good enough to continue. Along with the usual advice on scholarship applications, job applications, personal problems, and how to operate the thermofax machine the office made such tests available as the Iowa Test of Educational Development, Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, and College Entrance Examination Board. Students came from Powers, Coquille, Coos Bay and even North Bend to take the CEEB test. Towards the end of the year the office took on the smell and appearance of a hospital and the seniors apprehensively rubbed their arms. Every year seniors are given free immunization shots and every year someone passes out. 10 New Staff Works With Students LEAFING THROUGH school files, Grace Stemmier, secretary, searches for a purchase order for a waiting student. DURING HER first year at MPHS, assistant secretary Jackie Hyde was assigned the job of preparing daily absentee lists. ART MOTZ, VICE PRINCIPAL, takes a pause as he studies material to be utilized in his counseling duties. Cooks, Custodians Do Thankless Jobs Taken for granted they are! When a student came to school he just expected to find the floors waxed and polished, the drinking fountains clean, the paper hauled out and burned, the blackboards clean, and the trophy cases dusted. He expected a well prepared meal at lunch time, clean PE towels, and spotless uniforms for the Friday night football game against Coquille. These conditions don’t just happen - there were men and women working to keep things nice for the students. There were the cooks, Hannah Barklow, Flo Egel-hoff, and Nona Thrift. They planned the balanced meals for a week then came early every morning to bake bread, orange rolls, or cakes for the approximately 180 students who ate in the cafeteria every day. By 10:30 you could smell the tempting aroma of food drifting through the building and sometimes, if you were just too hungry to wait for lunch, they would slip you a hot roll or cookie. Walking into the laundry room any day of the week one could take a deep breath of very warm, moist air smelling of detergent. Looking around one saw clean clothes and towels, dirty towels, washers, dryers, a little table covered with odds and ends, a basket of knitting, a mirror and comb, a radio that is usually turned on, and Dixie Clement, the district 41 laundress. Generally alone in her own little part of MPHS, she says she really enjoys having company and reading the announcements and school paper. Mel Floyd, Pete Mast, and Lee Mitchell seemed to be the gnomes of the high school. Where there was a job to be done, whether it was to open someone’s jammed locker or fix a leaky place on the roof, they were there working to make MPHS a more comfortable and enjoyable place to attend.

ARCHIE WILSON English I,IV Language Arts Students Work for Self Improvement Expression, vocabulary, grammar, and literature through writing were some of the main focal points of the various English programs at MPHS this year. A unit on careers was presented by Mrs. Fern Starr, senior English instructor, to help students learn how to apply for jobs. “Macbeth”, a tragedy by William Shakespeare, was also studied in great depth. The college prep class, which is designed to help students prepare for college, was offered as a course in developmental reading which stressed increased rate and comprehension. Many essays were written with additional stress on grammar so that the students might have a thorough background in the language they speak. “Our Town,” a play by Thornton Wilder, was one of several plays and other literary works studied by the junior English classes. Persuasive speeches were also given so that students might learn to present an argument in logical manner. William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” was one of the main selections of literature studied by the sophomore English classes. Also much emphasis was placed on the students’ ability to express themselves through writing and speaking. The freshman English students were taught the importance of correct grammar, reading, and listening. A second look at Christmas was given the students of MPHS by the speech classes as they wrote and produced a play which examined the true meaning of Christmas. Among the important items in speech were the Voice of Democracy and Opportunities in Real Estate speech contests. HUMANITIES STUDENT, ANN HATHAWAY, rests pensively on a glove while pondering various aspects of man and his environment as revealed in his literature. MRS. FERN STARR English IV,Speech Many speech students participated in these contests and gained much knowledge from the experience. A survey of music, art, and literature was given to Gail Smith’s senior humanities students. Among the highlights of this year's studies was a trip to Eugene to see a modern version of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.’’ Term papers, which allowed the student to express his own point of view on life, were required. This year’s course of study included Greek Mythology, “Othello’’, “The llliad’’, and “The Od-dysey’’, “Lord Jim”, and “The Catcher in the Rye.’’ MRS. BETTY ALBRANDT English II MR.

MR. BEN ELLIOT Choir MR. RICHARD PAYNE Art I. II, III, Arts and Crafts MR. LES SIMONS Band I, II Fine Arts Creativity Finds Expression What is art? Ask any of the students enrolled in the MPHS fine arts classes and you would get answers of every type. Art is practicing a piece of music until you can understand the composers every feeling. Art is painting a beautiful sunset. Art is fulfillment. Come on kids, start together!' We have only six more practices before the concert. This was the familiar admonition to the students in Les Simons' Band II classes. Hours were spent tuning up and rehearsing individual parts until the final minutes before an appearance. Band I students spent the biggest part of theiryear learning technique, embouchure, good posture, and breathing habits. These basic skills must be mastered before advancing to Band II. Gooey clay smeared up to the elbows and a smudge paint on the nose was nothing unusual to the students in Richard Payne's Art I class. Here students learned to draw perspective and studied color art and history. Art II students delved into many phases of art throughout the 1966-67 school year. Sculpturing the head of a friend brought about many comments varying from Hey, that really looks like me to Are you trying to be funny? Richard Payne also taught advertising, cartooning, and illustration. Arts and crafts covered everything from pottery to copper tooling and created objrcts of every shape and size. Choir students, directed by Ben Elliot, went over popular music like Scarlet Ribbons and Moon River as well as the more traditional numbers. Singing was practiced 'a cappella’ to encourage good reading habits and correct pitch. 16 BLOWING FOR all they are worth, saxes CHERYL ROBERTS and Dennis Elliott hurry to add the finish- Teresa Floyd and Diane Motz strain to be jng touches of paint to the plaster 'piggy banks' which they heard over the blast of other instruments in created in arts and crafts, their sixth period freshman band class.

Math Students Meet Challenge of ’New’ Math Since when has the mathematical equation, one plus one, equaled ten? Since modern math has come to Myrtle Point High. Teachers stressed the principles of Modern Math in all classes of high school math in an effort to keep pace with the tremendous advances being made in that field. A required one year course, math, when offered as an elective, attracted many students looking for a solid math background required for college. Two hundred and fifty students, approximately one half of the student body, were enrolled in six different classes, ranging from basic math to advanced trigonmetry. Instructors, Elsie Downing, Gene Coleman, and Woodson LaSueur, made a special effort to explain the why as well as the how in both the new and the old' math. Basic math students under Coleman strove to gain a fundamental understanding of math with much of the year being spent in building up each student’s weak area. General math students continued to build solid foundations in math. Pupils reviewed and built speed in working with equations, graphs and positive and negative numbers. Algebra students learned to work out difficult equations in order to find the unknown quantity. Solving this type of equation is felt to be an excellent preparation for dealing with problems in other areas. Elsie Downing taught her geometry classes the theories of nature and how they can be applied to math. Students also learned to use the slide rule in working out difficult computations. Math V dealt primarily with the use of logarithims and advanced theorems, while Math VI, or calculus students spent the year with the algebra of vectors and functions in preparation for college math. ’’I’D SURE LIKE TO thank the guy who invented this slide rule,” thinds Math VI student Irvin King as he works out a momentum problem. 18 SENIOR, JUDY LaSUEUR, takes time from her studies to lend a helping hand to freshman, Ron Gray, in working out a difficult equation.

Science Stresses Experimentation, Participation With the theories and principles of science forever changing, the Myrtle Point science department determined to make an all out effort to impress upon students the importance of learning through observation participation. In striving to reach this goal, the teachers encouraged their students to find the answers to questions through the process of deductive reasoning. General science students, under the direction of Robert Brietkreitz and Hall Thomas, studied the fundamentals of biology, chemistry, and physical science. As the year progressed, themes and projects were utilized to provide a deeper acquain- tance with the material presented in the book. In the course, students dealt with material ranging from finding the focal point of an image to solving work efficiency problems. Tracing the hereditary characteristics of the fruit fly was only one of the interesting aspects of life which Jack Reeves’ sophomore biology students encountered during the course of the year. It is doubtful that students will ever forget their experiences in dissecting. Beginning with the ordinary earthworm, they proceeded on to dissect crawfish, clams, frogs, fish eels, and sharks. 20 NO, THAT IS FIR and the other one is Myrtlewood. It says so right here ' Craig Sutphin and Richard Floyd try their hand at identifying different types of twigs in Jack Reeves biology class. MR. ROBERT BRIETKREITZ General Science MR. HALL THOMAS Chemistry, Physical Science MR. JACK REEVES Biology LaSueur, Brietkreitz Join Science Department Combining lab work and lectures, Hall Thomas, instructor for both physical science and chemistry, encouraged his students in individual research. Physical science, the study of geology, chemistry, astronomy, and meterology, had students producing gasses, making weather predictions, and forming crystals. Even though they avoided setting the school afire like last year's students, this year’s crop of chemists nevertheless had some unforgetable exper- iences in lab. Among these was the making of ethyne and hydrogen gasses which they then set fire to in order to observe the brightly colored flame, or the titration of acids and bases in which one drop could change a seemingly clear liquid to dark orange, purple, or red. In his first year at MPHS Woodson LaSueur led his physics students in conducting experiments to measure the speed of a falling object and the force of circular motion. 21 Home Ec. Cooking, Sewing, Modeling Highlight Year What is homemaking? Homemaking is ripping out your zipper three times before you finally get it straight; then enjoying the much earned praise as you step forth and model the finished garment at the Mother's Tea. Homemaking is studying the vitamin and calorie content of various foods then planning a month of well balanced meals. Homemaking is feeling the excitement derived from taking a bite of your newly baked cake and finding the texture to be perfect. Homemaking is hiding yourself in the folding mirror while the teacher is trying to figure out where you are. laughing when your friend has flour on her nose, and silently gritting your teeth when you burn your finger on a hot pan. MRS. GLORIA EVERDEN Home Economics PREPARING BISCUITS AND APPLESAUCE for Home Ec. I class are Denise Floyd and Linda Campell. Girls are expected to eat what they prepare. 22 LINDA MOBLEY, home ec. student, experiences the delight of a perfectly baked pie. Dresses Shown At Tea Mrs. Gloria Everden instructed Home Economics I, II, III, and Mrs. Marjorie Lane taught one Home Ec. II class. Upper classmen who have taken home economics before and are very interested in the subject acted as aides, thus receiving more of an insight into homemaking plus practical training in teaching. Sheryl Hunt-ley, Kathy Hurt, and Joyce Lillie aided in preparing and correcting tests and were in charge of decorating bulletin boards. During the course of the year homemaking students, according to their various classes, studied sewing, cooking, nutrition, dating, marriage, childcare, home nursing, grooming, getting along with ones family, house planning, interior decorating, and preparation for future vocations. Becky Siemer was chosen as Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Sheryl Huntley was appointed to McCall’s teenage fashion board and Janice Lundin was the department's Coed correspondent. Annually the department adds equipment in order to keep everything modern. A new Viking sewing machine was added this year so the girls would learn to operate all the latest equipment. BY EXPERIMENTING WITH PAPER home ec. girls learn the basis of weaving. 23 MEASURING THE SOIL and surface temperatures are ag teacher Verlin Hermann and student Arby Lewis. Agriculture Home Projects Aid Agriculture could be called the staff of the American people. For without the nutritious benefits of the American farmer, dairyman, and rancher, how would we survive? The agriculture department at Myrtle Point High School set out to prepare students for the ever-changing world of the modern farmer. Trying to compress the whole spectrum of the agriculture field into nine months proved once again the biggest goal which faced Mr. Verl in Hermann and his students. In the FFA program, required for all ag classes, students were able to receive outside instruction. At the end of each year, certificates and awards were presented for outstanding achievements in the field of agriculture. Students also carried on their own personal projects which consisted of such things as raising cattle, sheep, or taking care of a fruit orchard. These projects last the year long and help the students to gain a more personal insight into the gradually expanding field of agriculture. With nearly every faze of agriculture covered in some way or another, the aim was to develop the student who was well voiced in all forms in the agricultural field. Included in their study were tree grafting, surveying, pruning, shop work, and general classroom work.

MR. RON HANDKE Drafting, Drivers Education MR. LOYD WELLS Wood Shop, Metal Shop Shop Stresses Hand Skills After a brief sprint through the open air, Myrtle Point students enrolled in industrial arts classes found themselves in the strange new world of “shop”- a world quite different from the usual classroom routine. Surrounded by stacks of lumber, sheet metal. and unfamiliar looking machines, students received training designed not only for those planning on industrial careers, but also for those interested in obtaining basic construction skills to be used for their own future enjoyment. With this fact in mind, Loyd Wells, shop instructor, allowed students an opportunity to spend much of their time on individual projects of their own choosing rather than in regular classroom instruction. Among the basic skills taught in metal shop were arc welding metal cutting,and drilling. Students were also expected to master an understanding of the workings of each piece of machinery used in class. 26 A RIGHT ANGLE? Oh well, that’s what the book shows,” muses senior Steve Prescott as he arranges his T-square and begins his daily assignment in drafting. Drafting Students Make Daily Progress Approaching the industrial arts field from another angle, Ron Handke’s drafting classes were taught the principles of basic design and blueprint drawing. After the first few weeks of drill on angles and lines, attention was turned to the planning of foundation, beams, doorways, roofing and each detail which goes into house construction. By the end of the year, each student, armed with T-square, compass, triangle. India ink, and plenty of imagination, was required to prepare plans for his special “dream house.” Wood shop offered first hand observation of the processes of construction from the drawing of the first plans through the selection of appropriate material, cutting, sanding, assembling, and finally the last touches of varnish.

Com mercial Courses Offer Tick-Tick-Tick. . . rang out the seemingly unorganized din of confusion. MPHS students were busy doing daily lessons in Typing I and II. The fundamentals of bookkeeping and shorthand are also offered. At the completion of Julia Duke’s twelfth year as typing and shorthand instructor, approximately 117 students A LITTLE DAB, a wipe, another dab, and swipe as practicing the home row. Practical Training for the Future at MPHS were taking Typing I and 26 students were enrolled in Typing II. Twelve students were members of Miss Duke’s shorthand class. Typing I students learned finger placement, tabulation. letter forms, and manuscript form. Timings were given to test the student’s ability. Typing II students conditioned fingers for speed and control. If a student wished to learn a quicker and more uniform way of taking notes, shorthand was the an- swer. The course consisted of taking dictation, daily lessons, and transcribing. After completing his second year at MPHS. Mr. Or-die Hoye instructed 62 students in the fundamentals of bookkeeping. After learning how to work ledgers, trial balances, journals, and balance sheets, bookkeeping students did practice sets with complete business transactions. Commercial courses offered at MPHS prepare students in various business fields. and the typewriter is ready to go again. Mary Bones, Typing I student, finds that cleaning her typewriter is just as important 29 EYEING IN THE TARGET during their freshman archery unit are Kathy Kendall, Rhonda Mitchell, Denise Floyd, and Linda Key. Physical Education Strong Minds, Bodies Are Principle Goal Learning to strengthen the body as well as the mind were the principle aims of the MPHS physical education department. This was achieved by several new and different programs. The activities in girls’ PE included archery, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, pingpong, and badminton. Miss Rose Marie Jackman, girls’ PE instructor, set up an obstacle course with the highlight being a ladder with a bell, which students had to ring when reaching the top. Junior girls, led by Mrs. Marjorie Lane, took the Oregon Motor Fitness tests four times during the year and noted with surprise their improvement. Boys’ PE classes, instructed by Mr. Ordie Hoye and Mr. Doug Muck, were taught the importance of strong body through the use of new equipment,such as the uneven parallel bars. Indoor activities for the boys included prisonball, volleyball, mushball, pingpong, and basketball. Muck and Hoye each helped to aid the coordination and alertness of their students by teaching a six week program of gymnastics. When good weather was at hand, outdoor activities consisted of football, soccer, fleet-ball, baseball, gatorball and rugby. These activities, especially soccer and gatorball, greatly improved stamina. 30 Junior boys and girls also had a three week course in the fundamentals of first aid. ONE, TWO! TWO, TWO! three, two!

Students Learn History, Geography “Early birds' might be the best way to describe this year’s social science section at Myrtle Point High School, with two of the three departments getting right to work at the 8:00 a.m. bell. With the accent on the future and its problems, Marv Scherpf's modern problems classes progressed through a wide and varied curriculum. Current events were foremost in the students’ minds through their reading of “Newsweek magazine in this required senior class. As part of their studies, students experimented with a programmed learning section on Viet Nam. Semester research projects kept students busy in the spring writing letters and utilizing library facilities. Darth Miller and Frank Grove directed the five U.S. history sections.Required of all juniors, the class maintained a combined enrollment of 123 throughout the year. Mr. Miller, in his first year with the Myrtle Point faculty, spiced his classes with interesting lectures and enriching outside reading. Working closely together, Mr. Miller and Mr. Grove added variety to their classes through the use of exchange lectures between the two instructors’ classes. To help students in note-taking extensive use of audio-visual aides were made. The audio-visual aides also proved valuable in testing and were used for this purpose often. Students were kept in constant contact with the library through their reading and term paper work. From ancient Egypt to present day Russia, Myrtle Point’s world history classes passed the year retracing time. While covering a general course through the first half of the year, Marv Scherpf’s class included an intensive section on Russia and China during the second semester. Students played a large part in preparing such class activities as oral reports and historical skits. Classes touched lightly on current events and were aided by numerous films. 33 Student Council Sponsors Clothing Drive, Homecoming Sponsoring many school activities and donating sums of money to various clubs and students was an important role of Student Council. Early in the year, Student Council sent its chairman, Jerry Brodie, to the regional Student Council workshop in Medford, Oregon. The four class presidents also accompanied Jerry to Medford for this weekend of activities. In Medford they discussed school functions and student body cooperation. They also talked about the duties of a Student Council to the school it serves. John Breuer and Dan Krewson were sided financially by Student Council when they took their trip to Kansas City, Missouri, to attend the National FFA Convention. The boys weren't the only ones in for a trip as Student Council also sponsored Dianna Gulstrom and Marcia Deaver to the National FHA Convention in Los Angeles, California. During football season in mid-October, the annual Homecoming parade and dance was a Student Council sponsored activity. The parade was filled with many colorful floats decorated around the theme: “Bobcats in Fantasy Land. The junior class had the best float in the eyes of the judges and they became the recipients of a twenty dollar first prize. The Homecoming dance that night featured a musical group called The Heirs. The projects organized by Student Council were numerous throughout the year. An activity night was organized and approved by the administration. Every other Wednesday night students could entertain themselves in the gym with athletic games or in the cafeteria with dancing. A clothing drive from March 20-31 was also sponsored by Student Council. A ten dollar prize was to be awarded to the class that could obtain the most pounds of clothing. Seventeen bags of old clothes were collected and each classes’ was weighed separately. The sophomores wound up collecting the most clothes. COUNCIL MEMBERS.

Girls’ League Presents December Pageant The activities within Girls’ League were centered around the theme “Every Girl Can Be Beautiful.' A play, directed by Mrs. Fern Starr and acted by girls from her speech classes, was given in December. It described the different ways in which a girl can exhibit beauty. A highlight of the activities was the annual Harvest Ball which was held in November with the decorations following a fall motif. In January Mrs. McNut, a representative from I ED, spoke on what is expected of a girl while dating. As usual this proved to be of much interest to the girls. THROUGH THE COMBINED efforts of the cabinet members, Girls’ League was able to present an interesting and helpful program to the girls of Myrtle Point High School.

Mickey Roper presents the traditional potted plant to Vicki Furman, March Girl of the Month. Girls' League also found it necessary to have fund raising projects during the year. Among these was a cake raffle which proved to be very successful. Helping to plan the bi-monthly meetings were class representatives, Kathy Hurt, Joanne Nichols, Dianna Gulstrom, and Mary Furman. Each contributed their ideas which helped lend vatiety to the programs. In April approximately 20 girls attended the Girls' League convention at Rex Putman High School in Portland. Here they heard many new ideas from different girls which could help improve Girls' League. UTILIZING THE VALUABLE experience she gained from attending Girls State, Judy Huff, senior, provided effective leadership for all Girls League activities. 39 DECISIONS FACING the club get serious study from letter-men Gary Sheppard and Dennis Freer. WALT HOGAN DIGS in early so he can patrol the halls, part of every letterman's duty during the course of the year. Lettermen See Far-West Classic Mixing pleasure with work, the Lettermen's Club attended the Far-West Classic basketball tournament held in Portland. Thirty members along with advisor Frank Grove saw all eight participating teams play. As always the championship game was the most exciting as Washington and Washington State, traditional rivals, played a close game with Washington holding on to its lead and finally winning. Under the guiding hand of president John Meldrum, vice-president John Nelson, and secretary-treasurer Tony Watson, Lettermen’s Club showed signs of becoming one of the more active service clubs. Besides their regular services of hall duty, at noon, conducting fire drills, and patroling the grounds at games, the Lettermen’s Club took over the juke box and the funds acquired from it were used for the club’s service projects and their trip to Portland. Also, for the first time in several years, the Lettermen's Club held initiations with fifty athletes being formally accepted into the club. The initiation ceremony wasn’t a gala event as of old but it was a giant step toward the traditional of initiation. 40 Boys’ League A Test of Unity Creating sportsmanship and school spirit were two prime interests of Boys' League during the year. Wayne Carpenter, Boys' League president, put the boys to work early in the year as he said that Boys' League was going to challenge Girls' League to a sign making contest during the annual spirit week. The boys put their artistic ability to work and eventually won the contest. Dennis Dayton, vice-president, brought up the idea of a whiteshirt section for basketball games. A new invention of MPHS this past year. Their many humorous yells added to the school spirit in a great way.

Rally, Pep Club Tourney Highlights Year Varsity cheerleaders performed routines and led new yells this year at MPHS. They created school spirit at pep assemblies during the year and led yells at athletic events. A high point for the rally this year was the A-2 basketball tournament in which they cheered the Bobcats on to a fourth place berth. Rally members were Lana Bosco. Georgie Boles, Susan Huntley, Sharon Wilson, and Sigrid Mitchell. Yelling for junior varsity were Cammy Horner, Cindy Cole, and Becky Fraser. Along with the varsity, the JV rally led yells at assemblies and athletic events. Pep Club, organized to assist the rally in promoting school spirit, consisted of 38 girls. Several new changes were made in the organization this year, among which were a revision of the constitution, replacement of president with three co-presidents, and new uniforms.

Music flowed from every nook and cranny of Myrtle Point High as freshman band members prepared for the annual Southwestern Oregon Solo and Ensemble contest held in Coos Bay. Escaping from the usual clamor of the band room, the musicians were able to polish their performances into the desired prize-winning quality. Working in unison with members of the Concert Band, several of the freshmen played in the ‘pit band' which performed for the Christmas play presented by the speech department. Freshman band members will also never forget the last minute jitters they underwent before their performance in the concert presented by the University of Oregon Brass Quintet.

Stage Band Houston Heads Group Holding a stage band clinic and performing at a chili feed were just a few of the projects undertaken by MPHS’s stage band this year. Under the direction of Tom Houston, the stage band met on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 P.M. During these one hour practices, members went through sheafs of music in order to select the best numbers for use in their shows. Stage Band was reorganized this year, after remaining inactive for a long period, due to the renewed interest of students. Most of their activities were designed basically for the enjoyment of the members, although they did occasionally perform in conjunction with the Concert Band in order to add diversity to the program.

Chorus Enters Spring Festival What is your robe number? Hey, you’re dragging your sleeves on the floor! The choir members would scurry around, then, as if by magic, would suddenly be in order and marching sedately to the risers. With voices moving up and down the scale, Ben Elliott's vocal music class would start a typical day. They would practice old tunes they knew from the previous year and polish up the songs they were going to present in concert and at yearly festival. Choir officers Norma Gross, president; Karl Howell, vice-president; and Irven King, sergeant at arms; worked with Elliott to keep everything running smoothly. Some members even tried their hand at directing. The Choir presented several programs this year, their first being the Thanksgiving concert held Novenber 23. The Senior Choir presented their second program in the form of a Christmas concert for PTSO on December 21 and on December 23 presented a combined concert with the band during the speech classes program.

Several members of the Frosh and Senior Choir participated in the Solo and Ensemble Contest in Coos Bay and all members attended the Southwestern Oregon Vocal Festival held in Bandon April 26-28. Two weeks before the Festival, students from all choirs participating in the festival were chosen for Honor Choir. Those chosen from Myrtle Point were sopranos: Linda Meader, Judy VanVIack, and Linda Green; altos: Deanna Duren and Norma Gross; tenors: Shelly Thommen and Dianna Gulstrom; and basses: Irven King and Don Evans. Seniors Judy VanVIack and Irven King were the two chosen from MPHS to attend Music in May, on May 4,5,6 in Forest Grove. Highlighting the year for the choir was the annual Spring Concert. In the last third of the three part program Ben Elliot presented awards. The Arion Award was presented to Judy VanVIack. This award is given to the outstanding senior who has contributed through musicianship, an outstanding amount of time in the interest in vocal music. Ac-companiest Byrl Winningham was presented with the Vocal Department Contribution Award for contributing outstanding time and energy for the good of the department. There was a tie between Linda Green and Irven King for the Musical Life Award which was presented on the all-around musician-ship of a student, his participation in choir, and musical contribution.

Freshman Choir Initiation into the World of Part-Harmony The Myrtle Point freshman choir has been an active, hard-working organization this past year. Beginning their musical education, they acquired the ability to “sight read ’ music. With this as a foundation, the choir began working toward perfecting three selections for the Christmas Concert held the latter part of December. Included were pieces by Wilhousky, Fred Waring and a sacred number, 'Til Walk with God, by Brodszky. The second semester's efforts were focused on the performance at the Annual Choir Spring Concert held in April. During the year several of the freshmen were involved in small singing groups, including a mixed ensemble and a girls’ sextet of mixed freshmen and upperclassmen. These ensembles performed for the Rotary Club, Parent-Teacher-Student Organization, Christian Women’s Club, and many other civic groups and organizations. In the four weeks following the Choir Festival, held in Bandon, and the Spring Concert, the choir devoted its energy to working on and perfecting the selection “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need,’’ a traditional hymn-tune, which was presented at the Baccalaureate ceremonies this year.

This could be a comment spoken by the competitors from the clubs and classes participating in the annual Tricycle Race sponsored by National Honor Society. This was the final attraction of the Friday afternoon of Homecoming Week; it followed the parade, and consisted of a race on any three-wheeled bought or home assembled, high or low tricycle around one downtown city block. All week the students put money in the jar of their favorite pedal-pusher. Before the race the money was counted and one inch per penny was measured and marked as the head-start for each respective racer. The money went to the NHS treasury. There was no regulation as to the size or sex of the tricycler, the bigger the better for hilarity. National Honor Society also held the annual two tappings and initiations of new members. Discussions of such things as the spring outing took place at the monthly meetings at different homes. This past year's outing was at Brodie's cabin on Flora’s Lake. The officers were: president, Walt Hogan; vice-president, Evelyn Belanger; secretary, Byrl Winningham; and treasurer, Gail Knight.

Myrtle Point IRC members attending the IRC conference were Evelyn Belanger, senior; Mike Adams, junior; Carol Brister, junior; Carol Gassman, junior; and Dan Mast, junior. These members were chaperoned by Mr. Darth Miller. The students arrived in Eugene on a Thursday evening and stayed in the Oregon Motel. On Friday they went to the Erb Memorial Student Union on the University of Oregon campus and there they divided into respective discussion groups. Luncheon and a banquet were also on the agenda. Friday evening an IRC dance was provided with music by The Heirs. On Saturday, the members listened to a panel discussion on the United Nations.

The FFA members became sports-minded during the year as they challenged the Marshfield and Pacific chapters of the FFA to basketball games. The Myrtle Point squad was coached by its secretary, Dan Krewson. Every boy participated in the fun and competitive, excitement during the basketball games. The FFA boys later proceeded to beat the FHA girls in a rough and tumble game of donkey basketball. Everyone who played that night went home with a bruise somewhere. Lenny Meyer, FFA president, was the proud receiver of awards for placing 1st in sub-district, and 2nd in sectional for public speaking. Dave Horton, Myrtle Point treasurer and district treasurer; John Breuer, vice-president; Dan Krewson, and Scott Mayse attended a weekend of lectures and activities at the State FFA convention in Eugene, Oregon. Earlier in the year two Myrtle Point boys, Dan Krewson and John Breuer, went to the national FFA convention in Kansas City, Missouri. Most of the exciting journey was done by train. Dan Krewson was honored by being selected to the national FFA band while he was in Kansas City. In the course of the year, Dan Krewson. Scott Mayse, and Dave Horton showed their respective merits at the sub-district shop skills contest.

Future Homemakers of America Attend National Convention in Los Angeles A year of activities began for the Future Homemakers of America with their annual initiation. The new initiates were centers of interest in their many pigtails and inside-out clothing. They were made to walk on raw eggs and wet noodles. The girls had a Christmas party where they exchanged gifts and honored their mothers with a Mother-Daughter Pot-luck. To earn money to finance their trips and their big dance of the year. The Sweetheart’s Ball, FHA girls held a rummage sale and sold cookbooks. Several girls attended the State Convention and were proud to support their own Georgie Boles for State Historian. They immensely enjoyed being with and getting to know other friendly and really nice girls from all over the state. During the sum- mer, in July, two girls attended the National FHA Convention in Los Angeles. This included a jet trip from Portland to sunny California. The Future Farmers and Future Homemakers enjoyed combined activities. They co-sponsored the annual Donkey Basketball game which involved all of the groups of dudes and riders. There was excitement, screaming, and confusion in the mad rushes on stubborn donkeys to stuff it through the hoop. In April, the girls served the FFA boys at their banquet where they were honored. They enjoyed these as everyone worked together and it marked the end of an eventful and memorable year. FHA MEMBERS.

Do you have any more cookies over there?” Art Club? You bet. This small organization met under the direction of Richard Payne every Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 and worked on any type of art project which happened to strike their fancy. Most of the time they did oil paintings but some days figures were made. If they finished early, they would often cluster around their advisor and watch him paint, thus learning many new techniques. In addition to painting, they would also act as critics and discuss the paintings of students in other art classes. Organized to provide a place away from distractions for those interested in art to develop their artistic talents is Art Club's function. Mr. Payne hopes to continue Art Club so students will be well enough grounded in this hobby to enjoy it in years to come. Christian Youth Club Missionaries for Christ Romans 12:1: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service,” was the thematic focal point of the Christian Youth Club this past year, but witnessing for Christ by bringing knowledge of the Lord Jesus to the people around them was the main goal of members of the club. Under the leadership of Mr. Archie Wilson and the officers of CYC, the year was centered around the topic of “Future Planning” in which members defined in their own way the Christian's and the Bible’s role in tomorrow’s society. In this view, President Judy VanVIack with vice-president, Etta Ree Waterman; and secretary-treasurer, Linda Green, had a program of Bible Study consisting of studying the time and the teachings of God and their importance in our lives. As individuals, and as a group the members of CYC sought to be missionaries in that they showed by example the influence of Christ in their lives. CHRISTIAN YOUTH CLUB.

Camera Club Post Bulletin Board The pop of flashbulbs and the smell of developer were exciting to the members of Camera Club this year. Advisor Mr. Hall Thomas sparked the Camera Club by the task of posting a bulletin board of school activities each week in the trophy case. Many students stopped to gaze at the familiar sights of their school activities. The Camera Club’s biggest project this year was the exploration of the art of color photography. Mr. Thomas showed his club members many different aspects of color photography. Among these were proper lighting, setting, and background. Under the leadership of Bill McCaffree, president; Sherry Straton, vice-president; and Ron Mason, secretary; the Camera Club took action shots of all sports activities and formal dances. For a small fee the Camera Club made prints of these activities for the students. RON MASON SEEMS convinced that Bill McCaffree knows what he’s doing with the picture enlarger. CAMERA CLUB.

French Club Sponsors Welcoming Reception for Swiss Teacher This year the French department students studied the language and culture of France, participated in French-language drama, and worked with a tri-lin-gual teacher from Switzerland. The teaching aid system is new to Myrtle Point this year. Miss Marina Schrafl of Zurich, Switzerland helped with the French program. She spoke German and English as well as French, and was interesting and helpful in her work with regular French classes and French Club-sponsored reception, with club members providing French-language skits and entertainment. Traditional French drama was explored by the advanced French students who journeyed to Eugene to attend a performance of Moliere’s. Les Femmes Savantes, a seventeenth-century satire on women who strived for pretentious learning. These students later presented their adaptation of Aucassin and Nicolette, a famous love story of the Middle Ages. The French Club, directed by Mrs. Jean Schudda-kopf, grew to more than thirty members. Officers were Steve Ray, president; Dan Grove, vice-president; Margie Humble, secretary; Ann Gurney, treasurer; Dave Daniels, sergeant-at-arms; and Paula Miller, student council representative.

With the leadership of capable officers: president, Gail Knight; vice-president, Carol Kendall; secretary, Grace Cushing; treasurer, Donna Street; student council representative-historian, Mickey Roper; and sports manager, Dianne Gul-strom - the growing Girls’ Athletic Association engaged in many activities. Some of the activities the girls participated in were a hike to Camp Myrtle Wood, a beach party at Bandon, a volleyball team exchange with Bandon GAA, and a Father-Daughter playnight. At the end of the year the GAA girls invited the 8th graders to the high school to participate in a GAA meeting to acquaint the girls with the functions and purpose of GAA. To earn money this year the GAA sold Bobcat sweatshirts and held a cake sale. Initiation was held at Honeyman Park. All girls who had earned ten points were initiated and received a pin: 25 points, a necklace pendant: 50 points, or a letter. Then a pin was awarded to the outstanding senior member of GAA.

A TEDIOUS JOB INDEED, but Gail Knight alone in the deserted journalism room continues the messy task of ••paste-up. ' Bobcat Staff Faces Obstacles Immediately surveying their problem of manpower shortage, the journalism class decided on a course of action. First, they parted ways: three to work on the Bobcat and six to put out the Myrtle Leaf. There was so much to do: contracts to be read, layouts to be planned, picture schedules to be made, advertising space to be sold, pictures to be cropped, copy to write and deadlines to be met; it was hard to know where to start. The pace was a run from the start of school and didn't slow the least until the last multiple was sent off to the publishing company. Things seemed to slow down for a moment, then WHAM! with no knowledge in the art of planning and taking pictures many came back not as great as they seemed when first taken. The poses were wrong, the picture wasn't balanced, Johnny was chewing gum-more pictures to be retaken and the great race was on. A CRISIS IS RESOLVED as editor Evelyn Belanger dictates a managerial decision to Linda Meader. NANCI GROSS QUIETLY enjoys her mirth as Ron Farmer loses count of the run-off copies somewhere between 200 and 250. Myrtle Leaf Staff Hunts Up News Night work sessions were frequent ... so were stomach aches from drinking too much root beer. Students would crop the pictures, then paste them on pages. About every so often the inevitable would happen, “Oh no, I have this gutter shot pasted on two odd pages,' Evelyn would groan, then proceed with the delicate task of pulling the glued pictures from the pages. Thus the year progressed for the annual staff, losing important pictures, retaking them, then finding the original ones, struggling to make deadlines, trying to agree on the right color, writing then rewriting copy, and taking an all important class period for a party. Students working on the Myrtle Leaf could be seen about the school ferreting out news nearly any day of the week. Editor Chuck Humble changed the size of the paper from fourteen inches to eleven inches, thus making it more attractive but much harder to plan layout. According to advisor Rick Boylan it was a year of crisis after crisis. With only one experienced student the whole class had to learn to write newspaper style and, for the first time this year, sophomores have been accepted into the previously junior and senior elective. In addition to writing for the Myrtle Leaf, newspaper students also wrote copy, did paste-ups, and typed to help the small yearbook staff meet deadlines.

Football Gridders End Season With Tie for Second Starting with the pains ot opening practice, MP-HS's gridders went from the ectasy of five resounding victories to the agony of two identical defeats. With hopes for a championship dashed by dropping the key Sunset Conference game to Ban-don and then losing to Brookings the following week, MP’s Bobcats rallied to defeat their arch rival and Homecoming foe, Coquille, 12-6 and then smothered the Waldport Irish 63-12. Myrtle Point went through their pre-league schedule winning all three games with two games having scores going past the 50's. In the Bobcats' pre-league contests they mauled the South Umpqua Lancers 60-0 and the following week downed a determined Glide team 13-0. The Cats then rolled by the Douglas Trojans 52-6 in their last tune up before the start of league action. Coach Jack Reeve's gridders looked like they were going to make the experts' predictions come true in taking the league championship, as they waltzed by Pacific's hapless Pirates, in the first league game 46-0, and the following week out-rushed Gold Beach to a 24-0 victory. All but a slender thread of MP's hopes for a conference championship were dashed by the Bobcats' loss to the Bandon Tigers 19-12. The following week the Brookings' Buins severed the Cats' final hopes by coming from behind to defeat the Bobcats 19-12. The last league game the cats defeated arch rival and Homecoming foe Coquille 12-6. In the final game of the season the Bobcats dumped Coast League Representative Waldport 64-13. The 1966 edition of the Bobcats finished with a seven won and two lost record and in a three-way tie for second place in conference standings.

Basketball Bobcat Five Take League, Fourth in State After gaining valuable experience in their opening games Coach Frank Grove's polished cagers found themselves with the advent of league play and consequently reeled off one of the longest Bobcat winning streaks in the history of MPHS. Following disappointments in their first three ball games, the Bobcats managed only three triumphs in their seven non-conference games. Both Reeds-port and Powers collected a pair of wins from the Bobcats. The Bobcats dropped their first conference counter, 47-44 to Coquille. After leading by as many as nine points in the first half, the Bobcats fell victim to the Red Devil's closing rush which carried them to victory. But then things seemed to fall into place for MPHS. Beginning with their 92-59 smashing of Bandon, the 'Cats coasted past 14 consecutive opponents before being stopped again in the A-2 tourney. Steve Ray, a second team all-stater, swished 40 big points for MP in leading them to the victory over the Tigers. The winning skein was the longest for the Bobcats since joining the A-2 ranks, in 1956. Included in their longest streak were three game sweeps from Pacific, Gold Beach, Bandon, and a pair of vital wins from Coquille, in Sunset action. Probably the turning point in the season was marked with the second Coquille game in which MP pulled out a 58-51 come-from-behind victory to savor a tie for the Sunset Conference leadership. Ray poured 26 points through the nets for the 'Cats, while Dennis Dayton dumped in 12 important counters. From there on out MP seemed to gain momentum until they met the Red Devils again for sole possession of the Sunset leadership. The Bobcats amassed an overwhelming 30-13 halftime lead and comfortably moved into first place never to look back. It was a balanced scoring attack which turned the trick for the 'Cats. Ray's 15 and Dayton's 12 were high as MP breezed to the 59-3C triumph. VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD.

GUARD DENNIS DAYTON displays the fierce brand of determination that led the Bobcats to the 1967 Sunset Conference Basketball Championship. Ray copped the conference scoring title while rolling-up his school-record setting 501 points. Ray was also named to both the Oregonian and Journal second teams and the Sunset Conference all-star team. Guards Wayne Carpenter and Dennis Dayton were named to the Sunset Six second team allstars. Dayton was MP's second leading scorer with 276 points which included a strong tournament performance. Dayton's stable mate, Carpenter, prided himself on his ball handling and defense which were instrumental to the 'Cat cause. He finished the year with a total of 125 points. Sophomore Brad Bosco was Myrtle Point’s third leading scorer with a total of 258 points. His biggest night was a 19 point performance against Gold Beach. After breaking into the starting lineup with league play junior Dave Evans scored 145 points from his pivot position and was also instrumental from the standpoint of his rebounding prowess.

After being stunned by Reedsport for the third time this year, the Bobcats bounced back with wins from Rainier and Pleasant Hill to capture their first consolation championship and fourth place in the state. Steve Ray, Brad Bosco, and Dennis Dayton combined rebounding, hustle, and scoring to head MP’s three-pronged tourney attack. Ray and Day-ton each dropped in 46 points while youthful Bosco added 40 in three games. Ray and Bosco also ranked high in the tournament rebounding list with 23 and 23 boards respectively. In their 73-70 victory of the Rainier Columbians, the Bobcats rolled to an early lead and then held off the comeback of their upstate rivals for the win. In downing Pleasant Hill, 61-53, MP used a similar style. The 'Cats rushed off to nine point leads several times before staving off a Billie comeback which brought them to within three points at 45-42. Bosco's eight points within the 3% minute mark proved to be the clincher for Myrtle Point. Following the presentation of the trophies, Steve Ray, senior forward, was named to the All-Tournament second team.

W restling Grapplers Retain Dual Match Crown As the Bobcat wrestlers began each nightly practice, the voice of Coach Doug Muck could be heard echoing through the halls, “Move faster, we are out to win.“ With these thoughts in mind, the Bobcats finished the season with a very respectable record of twelve wins and two losses. The single non-conference loss came at the hands of A-1 North Bend. The Bobcats then moved on to defeat the alumni and Mapleton as they warmed up for conference play. Joe Buchanan's third place finish in the 178 pound class at the state tournament highlighted individual performances. Buchanan, who was district champion, lost only one match before entering the state tournament, and his single loss at the state meet was to the eventual state champion. Ron Mason, 123 pound district champion, finished the regular season undefeated, and his single loss of the year was in the state tournament. Other outstanding wrestlers who gained berths in the state tournament were district champions LeRoy Shelton, Bill Mack, and Arby Lewis. Bill Bright and Howard Walton each placed second in the district meet and competed in the state tournament. The Myrtle Point grapplers continued to hold firm to their stranglehold of the Sunset League. The Bobcats, who captured the league title for the eleventh consecutive time, have won the conference crown every year since the league was formed. Myrtle Point captured the title on the virtue of a seven won and one loss record after evading attempts to upset them by Coquille and Brookings. Myrtle Point was rated to finish in the cellar as a result of graduation losses, but finished in first place by defeating Brookings, Gold Beach, and Pacific twice, and Coquille once. The single loss was to Coquille, however, the Bobcats defeated Coquille later in the season. Arby Lewis was the receipient of the trophy for high point man, and Ron Mason and Joe Buchanan shared the trophy for the school’s most inspirational wrestler. WRESTLING SQUAD.

Girls’ basketball season began with an overwhelming turnout of 60 girls. This number was finally reduced to 20 girls who played on alternate games and were referred to as team “A” and team “B.” The teams were still large in comparison to other schools and it proved a definite handicap as the season progressed. In the first game of the season team “B” lost by a large margin to seven girls from Marshfield. The girls rallied and won from Powers, North Bend, and Reedsport, then were trounced by Coquille and Pacific. Every year has its number of ups and downs and this was no exception. Most of the girls were underclassmen, therefore lacking in experience. And experience was the factor that contributed most to the losses. A new and extremely helpful regulation of the unlimited dribble was introduced this year and proved to be a real lifesaver for the girls who just could not remember not to take that extra step. CAMMY HORNER strains to gain valuable inches in the long jump while being observed by Coach Rose Jackman. 78 Girls’ Track Horner Places in State This year’s “Lady Amazon” track team began the season with a bigger turn-out than ever before and a great deal of promise. Hopes were dimmed as the season progressed and illness, poor weather conditions, and conflicting schedules sidelined participants and caused frequent cancellations of meets. DIANE SHULL PRACTICES with the low hurdles in preparation for the upcoming track meet. GRIMACING WITH EFFORT, Linda Koch clutches the shot and begins to unwind. The girls began their season by capturing third in the four-way invitational meet at Siuslaw. Due to outside factors, their next three meets were cancelled. The Amazons ended their somewhat abbreviated season with eight girls participating in the district meet at Marshfield. Peggy Peak placed fifth in the 220 while Grace Cushing qualified for State in the high jump and Cammy Horner earned state berths in the long jump and 880. The high spot of the girls’ track season at MPHS came when Cammy Horner leaped 16’ 10% to break the existing record at the state meet in Springfield. Miss Horner’s jump collected eight points for Myrtle Point and put her in second place behind a Junction City girl whose 17-2 effort broke the state record later in the meet. Coach Rose Jackman closed the season by presenting Track Achievement Awards for outstanding performance to Kathy Kendall, JoAnn Mast, Dorothy Wells, Peggy Peak, Cammy Horner, Grace Cushing, and Carol Kendall.

DAN GROVE and Billy Bryant make their way through rough terrain and high grass as they practice for the next cross country meet. Cross Country Conditioning Important Paced by the running of senior Steve Prescott, Coach Frank Grove’s charges posted a two win-eight loss record. The Bobcats’ two wins were over the Bandon cross country team and their losses were to Marshfield and Reedsport. With six members composing the varsity team, Steve Prescott led the Bobcat road runners with his fourth place ribbon in the district meet and 39th place in the state meet held in Salem on a soggy track. Other members actively running in all meets were Richard Anderson, Dave Petrie, Bill Bryant, Rex Pittulo, and Bob Bouska. Cross country competing with football in the fall drew only a few spectators as opposed to the large crowds attracted to the football games. Cross country was characterized by sprinting starts and a final kick after a two or three mile run over such terrain as sand dunes, hills, and every once in awhile a water hazard. 80 Track 1967 Is Year of Rebuilding for Bobcats Coach Frank Grove, head track coach, termed it a year of building as the team was composed of four seniors, five juniors, eleven sophomores, and eleven freshmen. The upperclassmen carried the bulk of the work with the freshmen and sophomores adding a few valuable points whenever possible. “This year’s team had its bright spots, said Coach Grove. Among this year’s better performances were John Meldrum’s javelin record, Dave Evans' discus record, and Frank James’ near record in the high jump. Meldrum set a new school record in the javelin with a toss of 181 feet and eight inches. Dave Evans’ hurled the discus 143 feet even to shatter the old standard. Frank James leaped five feet eleven and one-half inches in the district meet to become MPHS’s second highest high jumper in history. The upperclassmen didn’t take over the whole show as four freshmen also turned in good performances or set new freshman records. Bill Bryant set a new freshman standard in the two mile run at ten minutes and fifty-five seconds. Gary Horner forged a new freshman standard in the 880 yard run at 2.09 minutes. Dennis Wise along with Gail Wilburger leaped over nineteen feet in the long jump and Wise also set new records in the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes. His times were 10.8 seconds in the 100 yard dash and 24.5 seconds in the 220 yard dash. DENNIS WISE grimaces as he rushes through the tape at the finishing line of the 220 yard dash in the Coos County Track Meet. VARSITY TRACK TEAM.

Evans qualified for the state meet with a toss of 142' 5 for first place in the District 4 A-2 meet at Coqui lie. -M 83 Tennis Raised to Role of Varsity Spring Sport Tennis at Myrtle Point High School gained a milestone when for the first time in the school’s history it was recognized as a varsity sport. Hall Thomas once again headed the program in its second year at MPHS. Although tennis marked its most successful year, Coach Thomas was faced with many problems in running the program in an area fairly thin on net teams. The Bobcats are the only team in the Sunset Six to feature tennis as a varsity spring sport. Therefore, the tennis schedule included mostly larger and more experienced schools. The Bobcats played a full schedule with North Bend, Marshfield, Toledo, and Roseburg. Playing on the new Rotary Park courts, the team was severely hampered by the wet spring but still managed most of their scheduled matches. Playing both singles and double matches, the Bobcats fielded a pro-senior unit leaving most of the starting spots open next year when tennis will swing into its third year and its second as a recognized varsity sport. The tennis team began its equipment building by the purchase of sweat pants and shirts which were invaluable during the cool spring months.

Although the Bobcats did manage to play all of their league games, finishing with a 2-8 mark, they were hardly as successful with pre-league play. In all of the spotty pre-league campaign the Bobcats tied North Bend with losses to Reedsport and Siuslaw in season openers. Jerry Brodie, four letterman, led MP’s varsity from his all-conference spot, first base. Brodie was one of only two seniors on the squad which was strong in youth. Chuck Humble, the remaining senior, hurled Myrtle Point’s only two league victories over Pacific and Coquille. Both performances were three hit affairs. The second over Coquille enabled MP to gain a split in their series with the Red Devils after dropping the second tilt. Juniors Don Howe, Tom Krewson, Dan Krewson, Mike Kissel I, John Nelson and Karl Howell rounded out the rest of the relatively young lineup. Howe led the Bobcats in hitting, while Kissell on occasion pounded the long ball for the ’Cats. It was Kissel’s neatly stroked double against Coquille which drove in the insurance runs needed for victory. Sophomore Dick Rynearson playing his first year of varsity baseball took over MP’s second base position which Brodie had accupied for three years. As leadoff batter much of the season, Rynearson ignited rallies with his ability to “get the first hit.

There was a short meeting in the library, then a rush to the to the gym and the line-up.

SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Walt Hogan elaborates on the topic of his speech “What About Tomorrow? AFTER LISTENING to the solemn marriage vows given by minister Walt Hogan, Emily (Sheryl Huntley) and George (John Nelson) look into each others’ eyes before tripping down the isle.

The uniqueness of “Our Town” was the lack of traditional properties. The desired effect of background, action, and emotion was achieved by pantomining and subtle lighting. Grover’s Corners, one of New Hampshires many rural districts in the early 1900’s, was the setting. At this time in history the United States was experiencing growing pains and everyone was affected by it. The main characters, childhood sweethearts Emily Webb (Sheryl Huntley) and George Gibbs (John Nelson), were married and in act three Emily died. Finding the graveyard an unsatisfactory place, Emily went against the advice of her fellow cemetery dwellers and decided to return to the living for just one day. She returned on what was seemingly an unimportant day and suddenly realized how very important each day really was. 97 Junior Prom Queen Julia Reigns Over It was that time of year again. Guys were busy at odd jobs and hoarding every penny they could get their hands on. Girls were getting dreamy eyed and looking in store windows, visualizing themselves in the beautiful gowns they saw there. Anyone could tell the symptoms ... it was nearly time for the prom. The class of “68” were feverishly trying to work on all of the details. Co-chairmen Lana Bosco, Carol Brister, and Carol Gassman, settled on the theme “In the Days of Wine and Roses” and the colors were three shades of pink varying from American beauty to light pink, white, and green. Signs had to be made, tickets, and satin garters had to be sold and, of course, princesses had to be chosen. After two class meetings Becki Mast, Joanne Nichols, Carol Gassman, Julie Ames, Lana Bosco, and Carol Brister were chosen as princesses. THE PRINCESSES AND ESCORTS smile and applaud with delight the announcement by Terry Bushnell that QUEEN JULIE AMES and escort Scott Mayse are the spotlight of attention as they lead the first dance following the crowning. MIKE ADAMS SIGNS his name to Carol Brister’s dance book as Cammy Horner and Greg Wilberger look on. Days of Wine and Roses Decorating could not start until Friday, March 21 because the prom was being held in the Myrtle Crest gym so there was a mad last minute rush to change the drab junior high gym into a pink ballroom. The hard work was reflected in all the decorations: the queens rose throne situated in a rose trellised garden, the three-tiered hanging basketfull of vine and roses in the middle of the gym, and in the entrance, a wine bubbling fountain. A quick look at the clock . . . 10:30 exactly ... the music stopped and there was a meaningful hush. Terry Bushnell walked to the queen’s chair and introduced the princesses one by one. A pause . . . then ... the queen for the 1967 prom was Julie Ames excorted by Scott Mayse. A gasp . . . a radiant smile ... a tear of happiness . . . and Queen Julie was crowned and presented with a dozen pink roses. Queen Julie led the dance following the coronation and everyone relaxed again, the climax past. The rest of the dance passed swiftly and all too soon the decorations were taken down and all traces of the previous splendor disappeared. All visual traces that is, but it will be remembered in many hearts for years to come. the queen of the court is Julie Ames.

QUEEN KATHY HURT reigns over Homecoming festivities. Homecoming Parade, Dance Carry Out Theme “Bobcats in Fantasyland was the theme of the annual Homecoming week held October 13-18, 1966. The annual Homecoming parade and dance, sponsored by Student Council, went off well. The parade was filled with several well decorated and colorful floats. A $20 prize was offered for the best looking one. All classes and various clubs engaged in the exciting competition of producing a float that would win them $20. The junior class became the recipients of the cash award as their float, “The Bobcats Change the Night, caught the judges' eyes. The parade also included the Myrtle Point marching band and the class princesses. After the parade, the tricycle race began. Judy Waterman, representing the sophomores, outclassed all competitors and won easily. That night the Myrtle Point Bobcats played host to the archrival Coquille Red Devils. The 'Cats outclassed the Devils in a furiously fought, exciting game by whipping them 12-6. During halftime the 1966 Homecoming Queen was announced. Senior Princess Kathy Hurt was crowned queen as the Myrtle Point marching band played “Auld Lang Syne. The Homecoming dance, immediately after the game, featured a singing group from the Eugene area called “The Heirs.’’ COMPRISING THE HOMECOMING court were seniors, men, Marty Stone and princess Laurie Leep; sopho- Queen Kathy Hurt and her escort Gary Shepherd; jun- mores, princess Gloria Hardman and escort John iors, John Nelson and princess Georgie Boles; fresh- Vanlandingham. 100 THE HEIRS, A QUARTET OUT OF EUGENE, sing an original composition at the Homecoming Dance.

The closing of the dance marked the end of a Homecoming week that will be remembered by many for a long time. The parade, football game, and dance offered to all a week of fun and excitement.

These familiar words would ring, there would be a moment of silence, a little gasp, a big happy smile and the new girl of the month would go forward to receive her traditional charm bracelet, corsage, and potted plant. About a week before the Girls’ League meeting the cabinet would meet and make a list of the girls they thought deserved to be named girl of the month. Then, after faculty approval, they would open polls at noon and all girls could vote. These girls, chosen on the basis of friendliness, sportsmanship, leadership, service, citizenship, and scholarship, were outstanding juniors and seniors who have shown themselves, by their daily actions and attitudes, worthy of the honor of being named girl of the month. The girl chosen is usually the one who seriously repeats the creed and takes it to heart when she concludes “that I may become a fine, worthy woman.

Mike Anderson, Joe Buchanan, Jerry Brodie and Rick Van Duine were also named to the Sunset Conference all-star team. Wayne Carpenter and Dennis Dayton rated second team all-conference berths in basketball, while Steve Ray was a unanimous first team choice.

Evelyn Belanger received the English Key Award as well as being named as “Girl of the Year.’’ Mike Anderson was selected for the citizenship award along with Phyllis Pillette. All were members of the class of ’67. Hogan lead the class as president. Don Zinn served as vice-president; Sandy Fraser as secretary; and Kathy Hurt as treasurer. Concentrating upon raising money for their graduation activities, seniors held a spaghetti dinner. Members of the class also spearheaded the united clothing drive which was conducted within the school. Seniors served in various leadership posts throughout the school. Wayne Carpenter led the boys’ league as president while Judy Huff was girls’ league president. Kathy Hurt was the senior homecoming princess as well as being chosen queen over the week of activities. June graduation saw the class proceed down the aisle in blue and white gowns.

The end of the rainbow is in sight ... a pot of gold at the other end. For the class of '68. the gap between the years of underclassmen and upperclassmen has been bridged. They may look back for a moment to reminesce, but there is little time. It is now their duty to prepare for their senior life. Under the leadership of president John Nelson, vice president Dan Krewson, secretary Becki Mast, treasurer Jenni Wise, sergeant at arms Walt Seals, and advisors Elsie Downing, Rick Boylan, Ordie Hoye, and Archie Wilson, the junior class was spurred into creating new and different projects. Heading the list of these services was a project to earn money for the March of Dimes. Other projects included hospital favors for Christmas, a news- % paper drive, downtown and school street cleanups, and supplying scoreboard signs for the football and basketball games. The biggest event of the year, the Junior Prom, was held April 1 in the Myrtle Crest gym. “The Days of Wine and Roses was chosen for the theme, and real and artificial roses were used in decorating. Two students from the junior class were tapped for National Honor Society this year; i.e., Georgie Boles and Mike Kissed. With three years of high school forever behind them, the students of the class of '68 looked forward with anticipation to the responsibilities and privileges of being seniors at last. 118 Margaret Belcher Tanya Burgeron Georgia Boles Lana Bosco Joe Bouska John Breuer Linda Clement Sharon Cole Pat Cook Doug Culver Dennis Cupernall Lavonne Dale Judy Daywalt Lyn DeWald Debra Deitz Larry Dumire Doug Dunlap John Edlund 119 Juniors Continued Bonnie Godfrey Cheryl Holtti David Horton Don Howe Karl Howell Allyn Hubbell Frank James Bruce Johnson Lana Jones Becky Karvonen Connie Kelly Carol Kendall Sharon Kirkland MP PEP CLUB MEMBERS grimace as they watch the Coquille Red Devils score two points.

They cleaned the trophy case once a month, washed and swept the drivers education car twice a month, cleaned the streets in joint cooperation with the senior class, collected paperback books for the servicemen in Viet Nam, made telephone calls to remind Myrtle Point residents to give to the blood bank when it was in town, cleaned the glass backboards before every home basketball game, made Christmas card books for a childrens hospital, put up Christmas candles on downtown telephone poles, mixed business with pleasure by having a hayride and going caroling, sponsored numerous dances, sold concessions, and had candy and pastry sales at noon.

Lettering in varsity football were Ken Engstrom, Ed Hurt, Dave Noyes, John VanLandingham, Dana Neal, and Brad Bosco.

With an enrollment of 140 students, the freshman class is the largest in the history of MPHS. With the help of the upperclassmen and the faculty the freshmen readily accepted their new role as high school students and were soon an important part of the school scene. The class of ’70 presented its assistance to the school through the service project of cleaning 5th and 6th streets. This project was enthusiastically attacked by class members who assumed the responsibilities, as well as the privileges of their new status. In an effort to gain the respect of the seniors, the freshman class accepted the challenge of the greatest attendance to the Brookings-Myrtle Point wrest-ling match. Much to the dissatisfaction of the freshmen, the seniors won the contest, and the freshman president and vice-president received pies in their faces. Homecoming for the freshmen was capped by the capture of third place with their float, “Bobcats A-Go-Go. The class Homecoming princess was Laura Leep, who was escorted by Marty Stone. Under the leadership of president Dennis Wise, vice-president Eleanor Mason, secretary Delores Northrup, treasurer JoAnn Mast, and sergeant at arms Terry Odle, the freshman class took an active part in school government. With Mr. Robert Briet-kreitz and Mr. Doug Muck as advisors, the class participated in Student Council. This year’s representatives were: Laura Leep, Chris Nichols, Gale Wilberger, Rhonda Mitchell, Janice Franzen. with Bob Hampton as alternate. The freshmen proved that they had not only brains, but also brawn by their athletic ability. This year Bill Mack and Bill Bright were the only freshmen in the District Championship to qualify for the State Wrestl ing Meet. 130 Larry Adams Suzanne Albrandt James Bateman Susan Belcher Rena Albright Pat Bell Rial Ames Susan Amos James Belloni Deborah Bolling William Bright Howard Brotton William Bryant Janice Burgess Gordon Burris Wynn Castleman PhylI is Campbell Martin Choate Alan Coleman Dan Cook Cheryl Anderson Carol Campbell Richard Deaver Donald Dery Nancy Donovan Randy Egelhoff Sven Elbeck Nadine Evans Judy Everden 131 Freshmen Continued 9 Denise Floyd Terese Floyd 5 T Mary Furman Roger Gal lino David Green r Lonnie Hill Patricia Holtti Chris Hyde Lesl i e Jenkins Jack Ford Cindy Gibbs Ann Gurney Gary Horner Carol Johnson Allen Forsythe Bob Hampton Pat Hubbell Kathy Kendall Glenn Hassett Linda Key Ellen Fry Susan Graham Sally Huntley Walter Kinney 132 DARN ARROW WON'T come out.

Here is the 1966-1967 Bobcat and we are proud of it. It hasn’t been easy. There were very few experienced people on the staff and Mr. Miller had never taught journalism before, so all we could do was jump in head first and hope we would learn how to swim in the process. We had problems getting started, the first batch of pictures didn’t turn out as we expected them to and the first deadline was staring us in the face. We hastily checked our contracts with Kennell-Ellis then asked student council if we could switch to a fall delivery. Student council gave their o.k. and soon after we got the positive reply from Kennell-Ellis. Our period of grace was extended. The faculty was great. Terry Bushnell and Mr. Miller both learned to take pictures for the yearbook but it was a slow process. They simply had to learn from their mistakes and that meant many retakes and interrupting class many times but the teachers understandingly took it all in stride. They would stop whatever they were doing and pose or help set up props for a shot that had to be “just so.’’ Since we were understaffed we called on others to help write and identify pictures. I would especially like to thank Debby Dietz, Mike Adams, Carol Brister, and Marcia Knight for helping us even during the summer, weeks after school was out. Also on the thank you end are the staff at the Herald office, and Tom Sutton from Kennell-Ellis Studios who took most of our pictures. He would think nothing of getting soaking wet, climbing to the top of the cafeteria, risking getting run over by charging football players, and staying up half the night just to take the type of picture we wanted. Of course, along with all the minor calamities there were the triumphs and joys, our biggest being the successful completion of the Bobcat, OUR BOBCAT. Now it is yours and I hope it represents the 1966-1967 school year as you remember it. 158
