Opening the weeks activities to the theme of ’’Bobcat Country, ” were designated dress-up days to promote interest among the students. Shoe day and opposite day gained the most student participation. Thursday night's festivities with a serpentine through downtown and a bonfire brought the Bobcat spirit to a boiling point. Friday saw the annual homecoming parade which this year was coupled with the UN Day Parade which resulted in the largest list of entrants in recent years. The halftime entertainment was provided by the majorettes who twirled flaming batons. The presentation of the princesses Terese Floyd, Marilyn Nichols, Flora Crook and Queen Dorothy Ralph climaxed the halftime show. 12 QUEEN DOROTHY RALPH beams after receiving her crown and bouquet.

Two weeks before vacation NHS made their annual trip to Mr. Smith's ranch to cut the school's tree. Following the decoration of the twenty foot tree, NIIS members gathered in the cafeteria for their Christmas party. The following week the classes met to decorate their respective halls with Christmas greens and colored ornaments. Miss Olsen and Mr. Robertson, PE instructors, invited students to a folk-dancing party in the gym later in the week. Refreshments were served and Santa arrived and handed out candy canes to everyone. The season was also brightened by the aroma of cookies and candy, French Club caroling, and the Senior Ball. Just before vacation, the drama class presented a play which they wrote themselves. The band and choir also performed the numbers and their annual Christmas concert.

Such performances as interpretive dancing, acrobatics, Our Atomic World, a program presented by NASA, and a ventriloquist who worked with a variety of puppets, were received well. As the year progressed, students became more active during pep assemblies as each class tried to overpower their opponents during the competition yells. Athough the conduct at several assemblies was questionable, the overall attitude was quite good. In the spring; there were two assemblies for the election of student body officers and rally. Each candidate had to give a speech in front of the student body and the girls trying out for rally did various yells and routines. The final awards assembly was held in the latter part of May. Track and baseball awards were presented to the boys who lettered in these sports. Also various departmental awards were awarded to outstanding students at MPHS. Miss Olson presented the girls who lettered in track with awards. ENTERTAINING THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY during his campaign speech for president is Marty Stone, junior.

The snow drifted down, January 25, while the Bobcats were scoring against the Central Linn Cobras. When the gym emptied, the people went out into the streets to find the night was a blizzard scene. Cars were marooned in the already deep snowdrifts and four or five inches more new snow had fallen during the game. Lights went out all over town as the transformers began to blow out, lighting up the snowfilled sky. Telephone lines and trees began to break under the heavy wet snow. The next morning the community worked to a quiet winter wonderland of deep snow. Even the old timers said they had never seen it deeper. For one week there was no school. Work in the woods and mills was shut down. Tire chains were hard to come by as none were left in town. There was very little movement except for those with 4-wheel drives. There was great concern for the starving sheep and cattle and the area was declared a disaster area by Governor McCall. Queen Sue Crowned With In the Misty Moonlight as their theme, the juniors began the hectic and fun-filled job of creating the junior prom. Decorated in blue and white, the old Myrtle Crest gym became an enclianted ballroom. It had a blue lowered ceiling. Big baskets of spring flowers and greens adorned both sides of the throne. A giant silver moon, hung overhead, set the atmosphere as girls in long formals and their escorts danced to the music of tlie Barber Green. Tables were covered with white tablecloths, and placed about the room. On each table was a white candle which added to the romantic atmosphere of the prom. Halfway through the dance the coronation took place. Sue Amos was named queen from among the four princesses: Chris Nichols, Cheryl Anderson, Betty Osbon and Ann Gurney. After the crowning, the queen, the four princesses, and their escorts danced the traditional queen’s dance. SUE AMOS SMILES pleasantly as she is crowned queen of the 1969 junior prom by Bill Mack.

Being an outstanding citizen, JoAnn was selected April Girl of the Month for the quality of leadership. JoAnn was a member of Pep Band, GAA, and Girls’ League for three years. Other activities included class officers, Pep Club, girls’ sports, FHA, NHS, and Camera Club. Each month girls were nominated by Girls' League members to run for Girl of the Month. At a meeting all girls voted for the girl who was best suited for the quality. Each Girl of the Month was presented with a corsage and charm bracelet.

The fever began and ended with banquets by a variety of groups. Several of the clubs holding banquets to announce and install new officers were FFA, F1IA, Pep Club, French Club, and Girls League. Sports banquets were also held during the spring. Outside activities included exchange concerts between Philomath Band and MPHS Concert Band, tlie district speech tournament, and eighth grade visitation. A Hootenanny sponsored by CYC and the Junior Prom highlighted the spring festivities for the students. Frequent false alarms and a Home Economic Play School seemed to set off a feeling of exuberance by the students. A gripe assembly, rally tryouts, and election campaigns held the students interests with campaigning and voicing their pet peeve. On the last week of school, students were allowed to experiment in the dress code by allowing the girls to wear pants and the boys could wear cutoffs.

When school was officially over for them on May 29, seniors swarmed on in the halls in celebration. On June 4, 83 seniors marched into a blue and white decorated gym to receive their diplomas from Mr. Howard Winkleman, school board chairman. Foregoing a main speaker, Grace Cushing, valedictorian, Gloria Hardman, saluatorian, and Dan Grove gave short talks to the audience. Noisy confusion exploded as the new graduates dashed to the cafeteria to receive the congratulations of loved ones and then to the modern problems room to return their robes. After a dance and refreshments in the cafeteria, they enjoyed bowling, swimming, skating, and an early breakfast at the Courtel in Coos Bay.

Those courses from which juniors and seniors had a choice were novel, journalism I, composition I n, drama, speech, Basic English, reading for enjoyment, and short story. It was required that each student participating in the semester have one reading and one writing course during the year. Those students not wishing to change to semester courses were allowed to continue with English III IV. Freshmen studied in depth such novels as Great Expectations, and the Shakespearean play, Merchant of Venice. Sophomores acquired much knowledge from the Shakespearean play Julius Caesarn. and Cry, The Beloved Country, a novel. Traditional grammar and spelling were included in all of the courses. To aid comprehension and increase interest, teachers utilized many aids including movies, records, and overhead projectors. New teachers in this department included Mrs. Nancy Williams, Miss Alice Fish, and Miss Verity Petre.

Newspaper Goes Offset The Myrtle Leaf was put together by the 18 members of the publications class. Myrtle Leaf editor. Connie Lee, worked many long and late hours to be sure all stories were written, typed and retyped. The Myrtle Leaf became a printed bi-monthly issue with special enlarged feature issues. The Myrtle Leaf was financed by ads and subscriptions for the first time. Bobcat editor. Margie Humble, started early in the summer on layouts before she was satisfied with all the pages and copy. The Bobcat was expanded in many sections, plus added color pages. The advertising department extended their sales and for the first time the annual was self-supporting. The Bobcat and Myrtle Leaf members attended a year book day in Coos Bay and a convention in Corvallis.

LOOKING OVER the Myrtle Leaf, Janet Reed, correspondent, and Johanna Beckham discuss needed improvement. 37 Ceramics and Oils Added Under the direction of Mr. Richard Payne, first semester art I and art II courses were given. The second semester was changed so the students could have a choice between oil painting, water colors, and ceramics. Each of these courses were semester courses. Art I was required before any of the other semester courses could be taken. Most of the painting was done in oils, although some students did try water colors. The student's pictures varied from landscape to still life. They experimented with pallet knife painting also. The ceramics class made anything from pots to piggy banks. Mr. Payne required each student to complete a pinch pot before advancing to more complicated pottery. The students tried the potters wheel where mental concentration and strong, steady hands are necessary. The works were then fired and glazed. Other areas covered in the arts were learning the skills of drawing, sculpturing, block printing, stencils, and art history. MR. PAYNE SHARES IN A LAUGH with art n students during 1st period.

Among the variety of topics the students studied were sewing, cooking, interior decorating, house planning, dating, marriage, and child care. The home ec. department strives to keep up with the new trends. This year the old sewing machines were replaced by a new group of Viking Machines. In their efforts to teach the students more about consumer products, the home ec. classes took field trips to Safeway to see how various meats were handled before being placed on the market; and to the Arago Cheese Factory to observe cheese in the making. One of the highlights of the year was the annual Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow test in which senior Pat Tomlinson claimed the title of 1969 Home-maker of Tomorrow. Plans to include boys in this department next year were talked over. This would be a semester course of bachelor home ec. Senior boys would have first choice and junior boys second.

ABOVE: STUFFING A BEAR made as a home ec. project are Patty Pagh, senior and Pat Vanderhoof, junior. 41 Plant Life Emphasized Under the direction of Mr. Jack Reeves, Mr. Don Fisher, and Mr. Robert Breitkreutz, the biology students were able to carry on the tradition of disect-ing various animals and studying different forms of plant life. Chemistry students, under Mr. Hall Thomas, concentrated mostly on atoms, elements, and compounds. They performed experiments so they could see for themselves how certain chemicals react or combine. Physics class, instructed by Mr. Warren Hall, went on to provide knowledge of energy and its relationships to matter. It also revealed the practical aspects for which physics may be used. General science and physical science, directed by Mr. Thomas and Mr. Breitkreutz, were also offered to students. Helping out in the different science fields were junior and senior lab assistants. They helped set up experiments and assisted in demonstrations. EXAMINING THE BONE STRUCTURE of various animals are Marsha McCaffree and Carla Chilton, sophomore biology students. 42 LEFT: RELATING THE INFORMATION from the book to an experiment in chemistry is junior Dan Cook.

Mr. Don Fisher took over the general math classes, furthering his students' knowledge of the basic concepts of math. Math III students, taught by Mr. Richard Cowan, were introduced to algebra. The students learned to work with equations and graphs. Geometry, math IV, was taught this year by Mr. Warren Hall. Angles, theorems, and postulates were the major concerns of the students throughout the year. Advanced algebra and trigonometry, better known as math V, was also taught by Mr. Hall. More advanced graphs and more angles faced these students. In senior math, this year, Mr. Cowan has brought more practical business knowledge into the class. He hoped that would prepare outgoing seniors to cope with financial problems, once they were out of school. MR. HALL, ADVANCED MATH INSTRUCTOR, explains to math V students how to come up with the right answer to a difficult problem as he writes it on the board. RIGHT: CONCENTRATING ON TRIGONOMETRY problems are a group of juniors in math V. 44 MATH IV STUDENTS Dennis Pattee, Paul Holliday, Jim Layton, and Bill Flora discuss a problem before writing the answer on paper.

RIGHT: MR. HERMANN pauses from the regular routine to comment on the assignments that were handed in the day before. Dominant in agricultural classes this year was the study of parliamentary procedures. Members of the team were Gary Lillie, John Ulmer, John Currin, Wayne Pike, and Eddie Reed. The parliamentary team along with Andy Vincent, speaking contestant, entered the contest with Drain, Koseburg, Marshfield, and Oakland, taking several first places. Andy took first place at Sub-District and 3rd at District. First and second year ag. students spent the year studying the fundamentals of agriculture while the advanced students, under the supervision of Mr. Verlin Hermann, spent time in the shop. In shop they worked on such things as tractor maintenance, surveying, soil judging, and tree pruning. Several students spent extra hours in agriculture by plowing and tree pruning throughout the community. During the summer the class sponsored two judging teams. The livestock team consisted of Tom Hanna, senior; Andy Vincent, and Neil Westfall, juniors. Dairy team members were Arby Lewis, senior; Gary Lillie, junior; and Eddie Reed, sophomore. PAUL HERMANN AND NEIL WESTFALL quietly discuss their assignment sure everything is correct. AG. STUDENTS John Currin and Gary Lillie make a soil test prior to their spring planting.

The dominant factor taught was safety with the machinery. Although some time was spent in lecture, about 2 3 of the year was spent working on projects. The goals of students in shop were to learn safe and effective use of power tools and possibly help them pick a future occupation. Shop classes don't make expert mechanics or carpenters, but they do give the students the basics. Shop instructors were Mr. Ron Wardman, Mr. Arvid Hixon, and Mr. Verlin Hermann. Courses offered were intro shop, woodworking, metal shop, drafting, and power mechanics. Some of the projects done in woodworking were gun racks, lamps, and coffee tables. Power mechanics students did welding and the overhauling of a motor. Intro shop consisted of drafting and then a project of the student's choosing.

Typing Emphasizes Speed Instructing the shorthand class this year, Miss Julia Duke taught the students symbols for all the letters of the alphabet. Later, the students learned to read words and finally were taught the art of speed reading and writing. Under the leadership of a new teacher, Mr. Richard Chiesa, the students of the bookkeeping classes learned the different aspects of the stock exchange. Even though the students didn't invest their own money in the exchange, they learned all the procedures involved to invest. Adding to the interest of the class, Mr. Walter Graham, stock invester, and Mr. Mike Cohan, stock broker from Roseburg, spoke to the classes. Some of the students went on a field trip to Roseburg to visit a stock exchange. Typing I students, with the help of Miss Julia Duke and Mr. Richard Chiesa, first learned all the letters and the different parts of the machines. After they accomplished this the students learned to type without looking at their fingers. Later in the year they learned the general form of letters and how to type manuscripts. Typing II students learned how to type letters, ledgers, and manuscripts. Every week the students were given five and ten minute timed writings to show how much they had progressed. LINDA MOORE WORKS nervously to complete a timed write without making any mistakes. SHORTHAND STUDENTS WORK to keep up as Miss Duke dictates at an increasing speed. 50 i n L L.

Studies in hockey, dance, badminton, gymnastics and track were featured for girls, with emphasis on participation and basic skills. Boys enjoyed competing in flicker ball, basketball, wrestling, and track, trying to obtain perfection in each field. Strenuous exercises were used to prepare both the mind and body for unfamiliar sports that were presented in each class. Without mental discipline physical fitness could not be taught to its best advantage. As in the past, large responsibility was placed on the cooperation and help offered by the PE aides. Without their help much time would be consumed with individual help by the instructor.

Choir Sings Spirituals Choir, both freshman and advanced had a busy schedule this year. In November they sang at a Rotary dinner, and featured Christmas carols at a student body assembly evening Christmas performance. Jester Harriston a negro spiritual singer and song writer, conducted the choirs at the annual festival in Coos Bay on April 25. Students receiving awards were George Prescott, service; Ed Weekly, Arian Music Award; and the Music Life Award went to Cathy VanSlyke. Ed Weekly was chosen to represent MPHS at Music in May held in Forest Grove. He was part of a 200 voice select choir chosen from the Northwest. Folk music, both old and modern, was featured at the annual spring concert for all choirs in April. Alice Spangler soloed at baccalaureate and Ed Weekly and Cathy VanSlyke sang solos at graduation.

The marching band, under the leadership of Drum Major, John Vanlandingham, started the year’s activities by playing at the home football games. Pep band, under the direction of Diane Shull, played at home basketball games and at the A-2 Basketball Tournament at Coos Bay. Honor band, numbering six, was composed mostly of underclassmen: Andy Vincent, Patty Poehlitz, Carla Chilton, Marsha McCaffree, JoAnn Mast, and Leslie Gill. The entire band traveled to Reed sport for the band festival, and to Philomath for an exchange concert. They also presented the annual Christmas concert for the general public and attended a Solo-Ensemble-Contest. In the spring the annual concert of all Myrtle Point schools was held. The Freshman Band Cup was awarded to Carl Coffman and the Progress Cup went to Buddy Rayevich. Pam Bolling was awarded both the John Phillip Sousa Award and the Instrumental Department Award. This year the band underwent a change in the usual grading system. Points were given daily for attendance in hopes of cutting down on unnecessary absences.

Teaching the courses are Mr. Marvin Scherpf, modern problems; Mr. Tom Johnson, U. S. History; Mr. Richard Payne, World History; and Mr. Frank Grove, U. S. History, and world history. Newsweek, along with discussions on marriage, drug addiction, and racial strife, were covered by the seniors in modern problems. Among their regular studies, courses were covered in federal income tax, and civil defense. Junior U. S. History students chronologically covered American History from the time of early explorations to current events. World history students covered ancient civilization, religion, and governments with concentration on the art of historical periods. Longitude and latitude problems were included in world geography along with explorations of landscape around the world. 60 MR.

For the first time at MPHS students were offered a German class. Students could also take French which was also under the direction of Mrs. Joyce Sixberry. The eleven students enrolled in the German class learned that the main objective was German conversation. Unlike French classes where one learns the basic verbs first, the German class started right out with German conversation. French I students worked on projects about French provinces, basic verbs, and read. Aside from this they played French vocabulary games such as French bingo and Jeopardy. French II stressed grammar to prepare for French III and IV. The arrival of Alian Guiseppelli from Corsica brought six weeks of interesting and hard work. During this time Mr. Guiseppelli gave lectures on French politics and also on conversation. Most of the class time was spent in practicing French speaking. MRS.

Students were allowed in the library during their study hall only if they possessed a library card. Many responsibilities fell on the student faculty to control the students using the library and keep the books and files in order. Mr. William Collins, librarian, added about 650 books and about 20 new magazines that were constantly used by the faculty and student body. With these additions students found great supplies of knowledge for writing book reports, oral interpretations, and research papers. The library also added two new newspapers. The Eugene Register Guard was taken because it covered our sports as well as other stories of local interest to students. The Los Angeles Herald Examiner was added because it contained regional news. The library did not demand complete silence, but it did encourage quiet discussions among the students who were using the library. 63 LEFT: MR. COLLINS, librarian, flips through the card file in order to locate a missing book. Debaters Win District Every aspect of public speaking was met by this year's speech students as a challenge. The purpose of these classes was to develop public speaking abilities and to provide interscholastic competition. For the first time in school history, speech I classes were offered as semester courses. The first nine weeks were designed to build self confidence through demonstrative and informative speeches. For the remainder of the year the students participated in speeches ranging from dramatical to impromptu. Forensics, consisting of second year students, studied the various forms of debate and panel discussions while also presenting many other oratations under the direction of Mrs. Fern Starr, instructor. Highlights of the speech year occured when Myrtle Point hosted their own debate tournament in November. On March 28 and 29 they held the district speech tournament. The schools that attended were Roseburg, North Bend, Marshfield, Bandon, and Myrtle Point, host. The Myrtle Point debate team consisting of Ed Weekly, Marty Stone, Laurie Tucker, and Cammy Horner won the right to compete at the state tournament held in April.

Modern Novels Studied Mr. Gail Smith's humanities class studied an assortment of works ranging from 17 century poetry to the modern novel Lord of the Flies. Preceding each literature section was a brief history background to increase the students' understanding of their readings. Those works read by the humanities students included Diad, Odyssey, Oedipus, Tess of the Dubervilles, Lord of the Flies, Lord Jim, and Catcher in the Rye. The students were given a choice between reading Huckleberry Finn or Heart of Darkness and comparing it to Catcher in the Rye or Lord of the Flies. Studies also included two Shakespeare plays; the tragedy OtheUo and the comedy Twelfth Night. Other cultural areas studied included art, music, and architecture as they coincided with the history and literature of the different periods under review. Oral book reports and written research papers were required assignments for each nine weeks. This helped to better prepare the students for college. 65 66 67 Staff Offers Service Spurred by efficiency and organization, this year’s office personnel worked to be of service to teachers and students. Under the direction of Mr. William Richardson, principal, the office staff rearranged schedules, issued tardy slips, gave out absence slips, and accomplished a score of other tasks. As principal, Mr. Richardson was mainly responsible for disciplinary actions and acted as a spokesman for the school to students and community. Working as counselor and vice-principal, Mr. Art Motz directed all standardized tests given throughout the year and counseled students on education and career opportunities. During the final weeks of spring term Mr. Motz took on the task of seeing that all students got registered and scheduled for fall.

Aided by the class representatives, these officers accomplished many objectives during the two academic semesters. Grace Cushing served as president for the year, 1968-69. She was aided by Marty Stone, vice-president; Gloria Hardman, secretary; Stella Edlund, treasurer; Dana Neal, sergeant at arms; Marlene Walker, parliamentarian; and Nadina Evans, vice treasurer. The most crucial issues involving the council's decision included two constitutional changes: the right of referendum, and the grade point requirement for rally. The student governing body also continued the traditions of sponsoring homecoming and distributing handbooks to the incoming freshmen. Committee work also played an important role in the agenda of student council. Some of the committees dealing directly with the council included student-faculty, inter-club rivalry, and evaluation.

As the gome game schedule was kicked off, they met Glide, an Umpqua League candidate, and mauled them 46-0. Traveling to South Umpqua the following week, they overwhelmed the Lancers 44-0. Last year's Coast League representative, Mapleton, hoping for an upset, couldn’t muster a point as the 'Cats walloped the visiting Sailors 31-0. Moving into conference action, the Bobcats dropped their first three league encounters before bouncing out of their slump for a two won three loss conference record. With high expectations the Bobcats suffered their third and final league loss at the hands of sky-high arch-rival Coquille 16-7. In their efforts to secure a winning record, the '68 gridders charged post celler dwelling Pacific 32-0 and slugged it out with Gold Beach for a 25-14 win in the final contest of the season.

The three main stays in the Bobcats lineup were the Grove brothers, Dan and Stan, and Brad Bosco. Rounding out the starting five was Dennis Wise and Gale Wilberger. Brad and Dan, co-captains, were both picked as first team All-Conference choices for the second year in a row. Stan was named to the second team. The Bobcats extended their winning streak to 22-0 by defeating Dayton 50-46, but were then defeated by Sutherlin 54-47, which crushed their hopes of winning the championship. The Cats finally overcame Gladstone for third place. Brad Bosco made the All-Tournament first team, while Dan Grove was chosen to the second team.

They put on several skits and led the classes in competition yells which created enthusiasm and raised school spirit. 104 WATCHING THE GAME with amazement, Rosemary Edwards, Randy King, Sandi Meyer, and Sheila Sullivan await their performance at the A-2 Basketball Tournament.

Individually, Bill Mack led the grapplers with a first place at 130 lb., followed by Ralph Rayevich with a second place at 157. Geoff Prescott, 148; Ed Hurt, 191; and Roy Metzger, heavyweight; all obtained third place finishes and added valuable points to the Bobcat's team score. Bill Flora, in his second season of wrestling, took a 5th place in his weight class. Don Sturgill, also in his second year, went unplaced at 98 lb. The award of most valuable went to Bill Mack. High point man for the year was Ralph Rayevich, while Ed Hurt was named the most improved wrestler. Dave Schrader received the coaches award. Ralph Rayevich and Geoff Prescott shared the title of honorary captain. With the return of Bill Mack, Roy Metzger, Bill Flora and Don Sturgill, the Cats could possibly make a strong run at the championship again next year.

With three conference wins, the Cats again placed fifth for the third consecutive year. The Bobcats' batsmen proved themselves quite capable while mental mistakes and errors were the team's biggest weakness. Allen Forsyth and Bruce Roper led the team with league batting averages of . 387 and . 345 respectively. Wynn Castleman led the pitching staff with a 3 win 3 loss record in league play. The pitching staff was completed by Dave Knife, Norman Paullus, and Allen Forsyth. The young moundsmen gained valuable experience by playing a 20 game schedule. This year's schedule was highlighted by a weekend trip to Banks High School near Portland. The future looks bright for the Cats, who have eight returning starters who hope to make a strong bid for the league title next year.

The first competitive sport was hockey which was composed primarily of underclassmen and ended with a good record considering it was the first year for the sport. Volleyball was organized and a team of upperclassmen played various schools and ended with a good record. During the winter gymnastics and basketball were also supervised and much was gained in skill and sportsmanship. Spring brought the major sport event, track, in which many girls participated and excelled. Throughout the season hard practice was exhibited and many were rewarded with the honor of participating in the state track meet in Eugene. Outstanding athletes in each sport were recognized and received awards at the banquet held for the girls and their families. Receiving rewards were Mary Furman, hockey; Cammy Horner, volleyball; JoAnn Mast, basketball; Janis Franzen, gymnastics; and Cammy Horner, track.

Seniors Achieve Goal Although the class of f69 was one of the smallest to graduate in recent years, the seniors were very active both in and out of the classroom. The class chose Dorothy Ralph as their princess and she was later selected to reign over the homecoming festivities. During homecoming the class placed second in the tricycle race and their float received a third place rating. The class of '69 in its final year was highly successful. In the clothing drive they collected more clothing than the other classes. On Halloween the senior UNICEF crew went from house to house collecting money for needy children. The senior ball, though not a financial success, provided enjoyment for many. During the Christmas season the seniors excelled in decorating and were rewarded with first prize for their hall decorations. As the year progressed, seniors were faced with college entrance exams which would determine further steps in their education. In their final month of high school plans were made for graduation, scholarships were being awarded and their favorite books were being returned for good. 122 Ed Weekly, Sergeant at arms Johanna Beckham Grace Berg Janice Blohm Pam Bolling Mary Bones Brad Bosco Tim Brown Kay Buchanan Richard Bushncll Naomi Butt Georgie Clarno Cindy Cole Derry Cunningham Grace Cushing Dave Daniels Marcia Dcaver Mike Dooley Rick Downs Millie Dye Stella Edlund Marnie Eggers John Elbek Paul Elbek Dwaine Elliott 123 Ken Engstrom Nancy Evans Connie flora Richard Floyd JoAnne Forsyth Becky Fraser Modern Problems Required Of All Seniors PE AIDES Paul Elbek and Pat Tomlinson demonstrate a folk-dance.

Wise Leads Class Of '70 Making money was the major goal of the junior class as they sponsored various money making projects throughout the year. They devoted much of their time and hard work to candy sales, concessions, and dances to earn the money needed for the prom. Terese Floyd was selected by the class to represent them in the 1968 homecoming court. Jay Williams was chosen as her escort. Juniors joined together frequently to clean the trophy case to obtain valuable points toward the service cup. They also participated in such contests as the tricycle race, hall decorating, the clothing drive, and the window decorating contest. During the window decorating contest held downtown, the class received third place. Due to lack of interest in the class it was questionable whether or not a prom should be undertaken. Late in the year enough interest was garnered to present In The Misty Moonlight , the 1969 junior prom. Required courses for the juniors were physical education, U. S. History, and English.

Sophs Gain Momentum Under the guidance of Mr. Breitkreutz, Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Wardman, the sophomores conducted a limited amount of activity. They sponsored concessions and a dance during the year in order to provide funds for their treasury. Sophomores excelled in one area; competition yells, where they usually overpowered the other three classes at the assemblies. During the year several courses were required of the sophomores. These included biology, English and physical education. Decisions were made early in the spring on the class rings or pin. Each student could designate his choice from various varieties and colors. Designs included the Bobcat emblem, year of graduation, and the students' initials. Homecoming provided a round of congratulations for the class when their float received first place honors. Representing the class was princess Marilyn Nichols and her escort John Gilkison.

Changes in routine were evident everywhere, but the frosh eagerly learned and by the end of the first nine weeks felt as if they had been at MPHS for years. Although the freshmen didn't win a competition yell all year, they proved themselves good by other means of competition. They took first place in the annual tricycle race held during homecoming week and their float placed second in the contest. Flora Crook was selected as their homecoming princess. Under the guidance of Mr. Hall Thomas, Mr. Richard Cowan, and Mr. Doug Robertson, advisors, the class sponsored concessions and dances throughout the year to raise money for their class. Required courses for the freshmen included English and physical education, but since two science and one math course or two math and one science course are required; many frosh took general science.

Bobcat is an edition which you will read and reflect on for many years. This was a year of change. We as students thrust ourselves into problems of the world, nation, and state. We saw many changes come to the world around us as social, political, and economic problems loomed before us. The time and efforts of many people all working together made the realization of this book possible. The staff spent seemingly endless hours after school to meet deadlines. This year we wanted a Bobcat that would be different—one that would reflect the feelings of the times. The big change started with the cover and proceeded through the pages of new layouts, more white space, iess.dominant headlines, and better coverage. Although many frustrations passed our way we met our greatest enemy, time, and at last it was finished. It is no longer our book, but yours. Our thanks go to MPHS Camera Club, Kennell-Ellis Studio, Pischel Yearbooks Inc. , and Mr. Hall Thomas. The Staff, 1969 168
