Included in the activities were special dress up days— Monday, hat and glasses day; Tuesday, kill a Pirate day; Wednesday, cowboy and Indian day; Thursday, stuffed animal day; and Friday, red, white, and blue day. FHA’s Debbie Pride pedals away, but not quite fast enough. Prizes were awarded at the pep assembly on Friday for outstanding costumes. This year, for the first time, a muddy tug-of-war for the girls was added at the fair rodeo arena. Thursday night festivities included-a serpentine through downtown streets and businesses, then a ‘burn the Pirate’ bonfire back at the football field. Friday, rain and wind hindered the annual parade some but the Junior class, teachers, and Sophomore class finished first, second, and third in the float division. The tricycle race, following the parade, was won by NHS’s Carl Coffman, followed by Walt Crook, Franco-German club; and Dave Winkelman, Sophomore class. The weather cleared up by gametime Friday night and the Bobcats coasted to an easy win over Pacific 26-0. Half time performance by the band was climaxed by an introduction to the princesses, Freshman Mariana Thompson, Sophomore Susie Barrows, Junior Rita Robison, and Senior Yvonne Waterman, and the coronation of the Queen, Randy King. The dance afterwards finished the week’s festivities. Dick DeSoto rides on the winning Junior float.

Clubs held parties and initiations, dance team had tryouts, and the rally kept busy organizing pep assemblies for the winning sports teams. The student body officers attended a student council workshop in Coos Bay. A new homeroom system was set up and work began on a dress code. NHS began the year with a fifteen mile walk for muscular dystrophy. The office staff found themselves very busy with OTIS, the new computer, and the usual mad rush to pay fees the first few weeks. As October came around, Freshmen and Juniors settled down to taking achievement tests, with the Juniors who plan on going on to college also taking PSAT-NMSQT tests. A national assembly, an assembly with two convicts, and a drug seminar attracted some attention. The main event of the month was Homecoming week, which brightened an otherwise seemingly dull month. November found some students participating in a speech tournament at SWOCC, and the journalism department instigated two contests—one for the naming of the football field and the other for the biggest buck bagged during hunting season. The drivers ed department came up with a new Volkswagen and the library added more books. So the first three months of school life ended, with Christmas only one month away.

Some of the skits were enoyed and invited some participation from members of the student body. Many performances and announcements, however, were greeted by thrown pennies. Losing class representatives of a sign making contest enjoyed the taste of pie in the face and at another assembly dance team performed. The choir from Phoenix High School was featured in an exchange concert and a drug seminar raised a few tempers between students and parents, who had been invited to attend. Two convicts from Oregon State penitentiary were greeted enthusiastically with questions from a student panel. A seal of approval was also placed on a national assembly on reptiles.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of senior, Cindy Tams, as queen. Her escort was Larry Robison. The other princesses and escorts were Freshmen, Paulette Peterson and Jim Hubbard, Sophomore Bev Arment and Jim Walker, Juniors Janice Tams and Hal Humble. Decorations for the formal dance had been made by student council members and the band from Ashland, THE RYDER, was both fun and entertaining. They were enjoyed so much that they were asked back to another dance later in the year. All in all a great time was had by everyone who attended. Above: Linda Aasen and Bob Stone dance to RYDER.

It consisted of three independent acts, ‘Adam and Eve’, ‘The Lady and the Tiger’, and ‘Passionella’. The first act is developed from a short story by Mark Twain. All three have interrelated themes which hold it together as a single unit. The cast worked for many weeks to prepare for the three-night showing in the first part of April and it was received very well by the audiences.

Her escort was Allen Reed. The princesses and escorts were Ginger Fry and Bill Spencer, Roberta Mullins and Jim Voight, Susie Breuer and Brian Kennedy, and Maralee McCain and Gary Orchard. The juniors decided to hold the dance in the high school cafeteria this year. The colors of green and orange were used for decorations around the theme of ‘Together We Stand’. A highlight of the evening was the balloon drop. Those attending enjoyed an evening of dancing to AGE, a band from Eugene.

This year’s class decided on a combination baccalaureate and graduation ceremony in the high school gym. The baccalaureate address was given by Mr. Marvin Scherpf, Valedictorian, Yvonne Waterman, and Salutatorian, Suzanne Abel, also gave short speeches. The girls sextet sang two songs. A presentation of awards by Mr. Dorwin Lovell and a presentation of diplomas by school board chairman, Mrs. Avona Noyes, completed the ceremony. After a reception in the school cafeteria, the class dispersed until later in the evening when many returned for the all night party. Those who managed to remain on their feet for the evening enjoyed a dance at the Elks Club, bowling in Coquille, swimming in Coos Bay, and breakfast at Arago school.

J. R. Lowell English Department Offers Variety Freshmen and Sophomores found their required English classes little different from last year. English I and II stressed grammar with some reading and could hardly be considered exciting. For the most part, teachers felt the same way about these courses. Those teaching them were Miss Alice Fish, Mrs. Laura Isenhart, Mr. H. Gail Smith, and Mrs. Joyce Six-berry. For Juniors and Seniors, there was a considerably bigger choice and some courses were greeted with enthusiasm. Mr. Gary Abrahamson taught a few classes under the new business cluster, business English and practical English, as well as short story, survey lit, and English lit. Mrs. Fern Starr had speech I and II, comp I and II, communicative skills, and basic reading under her jurisdiction. The Seniors also could take humanities, an elective study of ancient to modern literature and history, from Mr. Smith. Junior, Walt Crook, is deep in his war story.

Below: Janice Northrup and Cathy Castleman prepare an experiment. Although obviously in need of new science facilities, as well as more room in many other areas, the MPHS buildings stood firm in spite of minor incidents in the chemistry room from time to time. General science, earth science, environmental biology, biology, chemistry, and physics were the classes offered for any aspiring young scientists. General science students covered a wide variety of basic subjects under Mr. Hall Thomas and Mr. Robert Breitkreutz, who also taught two Biology classes. For his first year teaching, Mr. Bob Steele had biology and environmental biology students. The predominately Sophomore biologists had their more violent natures satisfied by chopping up the various creatures that were given them to dissect. The two morning chemistry classes managed to stink up the building with their experiments more than once while Mr. Thomas kept the fans going. At least the ancient chemistry books were replaced this year. The physics class, taught by Mr. Lyle Cummings, disturbed neighboring classrooms by conducting experiments in the hall due to an absence of classroom space.

Mike Johnson peers closely at his book to make sure. 41 New Faces Seen in Math and Languages _ mm?Zd Two new teachers were added in the math department this year as Mr. Ewing and Mr. Holliday joined the staff. Mr. Holliday taught general math, business math, and pre-algebra while Mr. Ewing taught advanced general math and algebra I. In his third year here, Mr. Cummings kept busy trying to keep algebra II, geom-try, and analysis papers corrected. For foreign languages, Spanish I was added to the curriculum for the first time. Mrs. Hodges came to the high school two periods each day to teach her students the basics in conversation. Mrs. Sixberry, for her Fifth year at MPHS, taught French I-IV with I and II learning grammar while III and IV spent more time on civilization and literature. Two years of German were also offered for interested students. Above: Mr. Holliday explains a math problem. Left: Karen Campbell Finishes her day’s papers.

Business students were offered bookkeeping, office practice, business machines, business law, shorthand, vocational typing, and typing. Mrs. Laura Isenhart served as advisor for the journalism II class, which put together the school newspaper, the MYRTLE LEAF. She also taught journalism I students, who learned basic journalistic skills. Mr. Gary Abrahamson was advisor for the yearbook, the BOBCAT. Head librarian, Mr. William Collins, added many new books to the library, and took charge of the library aides. Aides spent their time showing films, shelving books, filing cards, running the VTR, and screaming at everyone else to be quiet.

Modem Problems History Meet Requirements At MPHS, history and modern problems, both required subjects for Juniors and Seniors, were taught by Mr. Frank Grove, Mr. Tom Johnson, and Mr. Marvin Scherpf. The traditional study of current events through NEWSWEEK as well as quizzes on what was happening throughout the year kept Seniors in modern problems on their toes. American history classes studied the United States from the founding fathers to men in space. Two courses in the social sciences were offered for interested underclassmen. Mr. Grove taught world geography, a study of the various climates and landscapes around the world. Mr. Richard Payne taught a world history course, covering civilization from the ancient Greeks to modern day man, and from art to government. Below: Mr. Tom Johnson makes a snide remark about women’s lib to his students. Above: History student Mike Peart appears well at case. Below: History and World Geography teacher is Mr. Frank Grove.

Mrs. Gloria Evernden taught the advanced girls’ classes and also the basics to Senior boys. Mrs. Ann Mast had the Freshmen classes and, during the second semester, a gourmet cooking and knit sewing class of Senior girls. From time to time other teachers would Find their way to room 25 to investigate the odors and, hopefully to receive a tidbit. Completing his tenth year at MPHS, Mr. Richard Payne again headed the art department. He was aided by Mrs. Judy Doyle. Students experimented with their creative talents in semester classes of art I, oil painting, ceramics, sculpture, and print making.

But PE is PE and it takes work to get in, or to stay in, shape so the laps were run and exercises done. And the aides also received their fair share of gripes and complaints. Underclassmen guilty of misdemeanors found themselves doing unpleasant things, such as running extra laps. Of course there were times for more pleasing things too. The classes participated in sports ranging from coed dancing to the all boys’ football and other rough contact sports. The girls had track, volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics among other sports. To end the year properly, the aides underwent the typical good-bye torturing and everyone was happy, either for a good year or because it was over. “Swing Your Partners”-Mr. Fisher calls square dancing instructions.

The instructors were Mr. Spring and Mr. Bindner. The class met in a room at the fairgrounds with Freshmen and Sophomores in the morning and upperclassmen in the afternoon. Both classes took many field trips to various places in the area to learn more on the subject of forestry. Vocational agriculture was taught by Mr. Verlin Hermann. First and second year students did basic studies while third and fourth year did shop work. Several students also did plowing and other services for the community. Mr. Arvid Hixson had charge of metal shops and power mechanics while Mr. Ron Wardman taught intro shop, wood shop, and drafting. Students in shops worked on individual projects for the most part. Above: Mr. Hixson enjoys his coffee while directing metal shop. Below; Mr Bindner and Mr Sprjng hold fores(ry class at the fairgrounds. 52 Above: John Gcaney works diligently in wood shop.

Administration Kept Busy For the sixth year, the office was headed by principal, Mr. William Richardson. This year’s vice principal duties went to Mr. Frank Grove, who was also athletic director. Mr. Dorwin Lovell ended his first year here as guidance counselor while Mrs. Laura Isenhart returned, after a short absence, as girls’ counselor. The “big four” of the administration found much to do with discipline measures, scheduling problems, standarized tests, and just general counseling. Mrs. Judy Baker, as school secretary, and Mrs. Florence Moon, as assistant secretary, kept the front office running smoothly although both took time out in January to sprain their backs.

Then there’s plenty of notice. The custodians, Pete Mast, Mel Floyd, and Vern Breuer, keep the school spiff and tidy, and that is often no easy job. Sweeping and waxing floors, fixing desks, and keeping the furnace running are by no means all of their duties. They must come to the rescue when a Freshman desperately kicks at his locker in an attempt to get his books before the tardy bell, only to find he has forgotten his combination or the silly thing is jammed. But never fear, Pete, Mel, or Vern will be there. Mrs. Flo Eglehoff and Mrs. Jean Davenport also arrive early to start making breads, or desserts, or whatever is needed for lunch. And when the bell rings at 12:14:05, they are prepared for the mad stampede into the cafeteria. The six PE classes, as well as the athletic teams, are especially thankful for the launderss, Mrs. Horton, when they step out of the shower to a nice warm towel. The bus drivers are appreciated, especially at 3:25, time to go home. Above: Pete Mast fixes the dust mop before sweeping the gym.

This page sponsored by Standard Service Station Myrtle Point, Oregon 65 Student Council Reorganized The old method of representation in student council was done away with and a new way adopted early in the year. With the new system each class was divided into five groups and one representative from each group became a voting member, along with the student body officers, in student council. In September, the officers and senior class president attended an Oregon Region V student council workshop in Coos Bay which included all high schools in Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, and Klamath counties. The main accomplishment of student council this year was the adoption of a dress code. After seven months of debate, an agreement was finally reached between students and administration in March. The result was many happy students and some not-so-happy faculty members. During the year student council worked on getting an apple machine, set up new garbage cans outside the school, and sponsored the winter formal dance. The student lounge was closed and a study hall reinstated in mid-year because of the lack of responsibility. Above: ASB president, Carl Coffman, recognizes a waving hand.

JV rally consisted of Jill Coffman Bev Arment, and Carolyn Wright. Due to a resignation and two others moving, rally tryouts for the three places were again held in the winter. New varsity members elected were Joyce Haddock and Judy Gibeau and for JV rally was Linda Aasen. The rallys attended most games and conducted pep assemblies before many of them. They also did extra activities to raise money. Because of many problems this year, dance team slowly dwindled from the original twelve girls until the end of the year when only six remained. They were Sherrill Anderson, Melody Gibbs, Rhonda Burgess, Kim Rucker, Felice Fawcett, and Carolyn Bright. Members practiced hard and performed at a number of games.

NHS Leads Active Year National Honor Society was one of the few clubs in the school which got off to an active start and maintained this momentum throughout the year. A walk for muscular dystrophy was decided upon at the first meeting. After gaining enough sponsors, nine members started out on a cold and rainy day in September. They slogged fifteen miles to Coledo, pulling a little red wagon, and earned over $100. After beginning the year with only fifteen members, twenty-one new members were tapped in a fall assembly and later formally initiated at the Methodist church. The club sponsored the annual homecoming tricycle race which was won by a member, Carl Coffman. The Christmas party included a silly gift exchange and on the serious side the school Christmas tree was brought in and decorated. A planned outing at Diamond Lake in the spring fell through but a bicycle ride and the annual spring “fling”, after the spring initiation, rounded out the year’s activities.

Henry Grove was elected president and the newly formed club held several meetings throughout the year. In February, it combined with Franco-German club and journalism to put on a very successful foreign foods dinner in the school cafeteria. Franco-German club started the year off right with a fall barbeque, but then had ther November Guy Fawks celebration rained out. Christmas was celebrated with a party and some caroling downtown. After the dinner, many members enjoyed an outing to Diamond Lake resort. A banquet in the spring completed the year’s activities.

Girls Join Pep Club And GAA Above: Pep club member gets a coke to quench her thirst at a basketball game. It seems that the all-girls clubs had a few problems with the old “don’t care” syndrome this year. Pep club relaxed several rules throughout the year, including the wearing of uniforms to games, but the apathy still persisted. Enough interest was generated, however, to charter a bus to the league games. GAA held few meetings as Tuesday nights were devoted to practice for the various girls’ sports teams. In the fall, many members went to a district meeting and mile cross country type run at Band-on. 74 Left: GAA member, Liz Dunn, waits for the start of the mile run at Bandon.

In October they held their green hand initiation for new members. Mr. Verlin Hermann was advisor for the club whose president was Bob Stone. Future Homemakers held their informal initiation early in the year with the formal later in November. In the fall many members also attended the district conference in Coquille. They held their annual Christmas party and later the FHA-FFA banquet. The big project of the year was selling cookbooks. Mrs. Evernden was FHA advisor and president was Brenda Babcock. Susie Breuer as vice president also did a lot of work. Above: Dal King works on his project, a trailer.

GRIDDERS MAKE QUARTER FINALS Varsity football team had a slow start to the season, but this was expected from the young team. With long hours of practice and much encouragement from Coach Don Fisher, assisted by Bob Steele, the Cats rose from relative obscurity. A lukewarm record of 2-2-1 was held after four tough pre-league games against Coast teams. As league play commenced, MPHS began the long haul upward. Others began to take notice as Brookings, Bandon, Pacific, and Gold Beach all fell to a bruising defense and strong running offense. The highlight game of the year was against number one rated Coquille. The over-confident Devils were beaten by the upstart Bobcats in an highly emotional game. The team could not keep its spark the following week in the state quarterfinals, however, losing 14-7 to a team that had been beaten in preleague play, Siuslaw. The league champs placed five players on the Sunset league all star team. They were seniors, Jim Mast, George Horner, and Tom Winkelman; and juniors, Jim Walker and Dick DeSoto. Mast also made all-state.

Harriers The turnout for the cross country team, coached by Tom Johnson, was very small but those who had the endurance to stick with it soon proved that numbers aren’t everything. For the first time in modern history, MPHS captured the league title. Hard practice, with a few cheaters hitchhiking, proved successful as the team ended with nine wins. Their only loss'was a non-league encounter at Reeds-port. The Cats placed three on the Sunset Six all star team. They were Dennis Jack, placing first; Steve Horton, third; and Jim Knight, fourth. Then, at the state meet Dennis Jack placed fifteenth individually and the team came in eleventh. Although only seven members stuck out the entire season, five of these were underclassmen so the future looks bright for MP.

Below: Brian Richards and Steve Anderson fight for a loose ball against Gold Beach. It was a photo-finish for the Sunset League as MPIIS and Coquille battled down to the last game to determine which team would finish second in league and therefore go on to state. The Bobcats would up on the bottom end of a 45-43 squeaker for the finale. The season began with only two returning starters, but the team did very well in pre-league competition, winning nine of the first ten games. The Bobcats started league with a win over Brookings, then fell victim to Gold Beach in their crackerbox gym. Slow down tactics failed against Bandon in a game which had a 4-2 half time score. Five more league games ended in victory before Bandon and Coquille came out victorious to leave Myrtle Point in third place for the league, whose representatives finished third and fifth at the state tournament. Senior, Steve Anderson, was placed on the Sunset all-star team and also received state honorable mention. The other Senior starter, Henry Grove made Sunset’s second team.

Coach Tom Johnson tried out the platoon system which enabled all the team members to see a lot of action.

It came back to win three of the next four games before falling back into a slump. The final season record was five wins to twelve losses, including three conference wins. Three Myrtle Point players placed on the league all-star team were outfielders, Pogo Hyde and Dick DeSoto, and catcher, Jim Walker. At the final awards assembly special recognition was given by Coach Fisher to Jim Walker for the most RBI’s and best season batting average, Steve Rayevich for best league batting and pitching, Dick DeSoto for most stolen bases, and Doug Noyes who was elected captain. The JV team had a very successful season, winning almost all of its games. Due to an auto accident involving Coach Steele, Mr. Lovell went on to coach the team for the remainder of the season.

Coach Grove once more led the tracksters through a winning season. Although a strong Brookings team edged out the Bobcats for the league title, MP made a respectable second place in the district meet, with the scores Brookings 135, Myrtle Point 129, Gold Beach 84, Bandon 78, Coquille 69, and Pacific 7. Qualifiers for state included Ron Street for the 100 and 220 yard dashes, Steve Anderson for the 880 yard run, Henry Grove for the pole vault, Steve Cors-by for the shot put, Brian Richards for the discus and shot put, and Dennis Jack for the mile and two mile runs.

The team, coached by Miss Molinari, did quite well, coming in second to Bandon in several meets and traveling to Florence for the district meet. Junior, Robin Tyre, qualified for the state meet in the high jump for the second year in a row. The future looks bright for the girls as eighteen who completed the season were underclassmen.

The volleyball team, consisting of Randy King, Gaye Rondo, Debbie Gulstrom, Susan Meldrum, Teresa Padgit, and Yvonne Waterman, was undefeated. The JV team had a tougher time but got in some valuable experience for next year. Varsity basketball had four returning starters from the previous year and lost only two games, both at Reedsport. They won the Coquille tournament and placed second in one at Reedsport. The big attraction of the year was a game against the Freshmen boys in which the girls were stomped. The J V team also had a good year, losing only to Coquille. At the awards dinner the most improved player award went to Robin Tyre and the most valuable player award to Yvonne Waterman. Kim Train was presented with a giant purple heart for being wounded in action. Basketball Vars.

Richie Havens The class of ‘72’ finally completed its fourth year at MP and by the time the big day came around there were 97 members left to receive diplomas. Randy King was chosen as Homecoming queen and Cindy Tams reigned over the Winter Ball. The senior class entered into spirit activities only half heartedly with most eyes focused towards the 28th of May. Representatives from many Oregon colleges came to talk to interested students. The college bound took SAT and Achievement tests and spent much time filling out scholarship applications. Seniors were required to take English and modern problems. In the spring, they each spent 5 hours on a service project.

Graduation Arrives! The class of ‘73’ was probably once more the most active class at MPHS. With many of their activities orientated towards making money, the class fund continued to grow. The Junior float won a first place in the homecoming competition and they chose Rita Robison for their princess. The class won various spirit contests throughout the year, including a sign-making contest. This gave them the coveted privilege of smashing two seniors with pies in their faces. For the Winter Ball, Janice Tams was the class princess. The big activity of the year was the Junior Prom in the spring with the theme TOGETHER WE STAND. Required courses for the year were English, U.S. history, and PE. Achievement tests were given and many students also took the PSAT-NMSQT tests.

They were responsible for various fund-raising campaigns to provide money for their treasury. Required classes for this year were biology, English, and PE. Although the largest class in the school, conspicuously few members attended most assemblies. The Sophomore float won third place in the homecoming parade and Dave Winkelman rode their tricycle to a third place finish. The class chose Susie Barrows for their princess.

Favorite hobbies of the class of ‘75’ included blocking hallways and scrawling unrepeatables, as well as ‘John loves Mary’, on lockers and bathroom walls. Certain members of the class certainly did not acquire a name for meekness, skipping classes as flagrantly as their elders by the end of the second week and getting their thrills from pinching senior girls. One Freshman boy actually discovered the school library late in the fall by asking such revealing questions as “Is that the library?” and “Are there storybooks and everything in there?” The class did have a few redeeming qualities, with some members taking active parts in various school activities and contributing to the student body. All Freshmen were required to have English and physical education. Most also took general science and a math class.
