Where are you going to? Do you know? Do you get what you're hoping for? When you look behind you there's no open door. What are you hoping for? Do you know? Once we were standing still in time. Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds. And how I loved you but my spirit was free Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me. Do you know where you're going to Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know? Do you get what you're hoping for? When you look behind you there's no open door. What are you hoping for? Do you know? Now looking back at all we've planned. We let so many dreams just slip through our hands Why must we wait so long before we see? How sad the answers to those questions can be. Do you know where you're going to Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know? Do you get what you're hoping for? When you look behind you there's no open door. What are you hoping for? Do you know? As sang by Marti Smith May 23. 1976 10 12 I exchange Students Foreign exchange students at Myrtle Point High School were Anne Marie Bonin (Fifi). Rosangela Ponce, and Lupe Pedrero. Fifi Bonin was very much in the spirit of MPHS. She got involved with basketball and was crowned queen at MPHS Homecoming which was quite an honor. She lived with Mary Kay Mast. Rosangela Ponce stayed with Marla Wells. She came in the middle of the year so she missed out on most of the activities. Lupe Pedrero stayed with Mrs. Linda Miller and changed in the middle of the year and stayed with Julie Dewald. Lupe was very active in Spanish Club. Having these girls here will leave memorable thoughts in many of the hearts of M PHS students.

RICHARD GILL on hold Bad luck and QReat impRovement Wrestling 1975-76 can be summed up as “Bad Luck and Great Improvement. A rash of sickness and injuries sidelined many team members for a portion of the season. This hurt team results (8-12-1) as we finished 0-6 for league dual record but finished 4th in the District Meet. Individual effort and spirit built and kept building right through the state meet. Twenty-seven wrestlers had winning seasons, and 10 placed at District. Brad Luscombe. Leon Rayevich. and Gene Rayevich were Sunset Champions. Matt Schneider joined these three wrestlers in the meet at Corvallis. Brad Luscombe placed 3rd, Gene Rayevich and Matt Schneider were both 6th. Myrtle Point placed 13th in state, highest of all Sunset schools. Special recognition given Co Captains: Brad Luscombe. Matt Schneider. Outstanding Wrestler: Brad Luscombe Most Improved.

Also we were involved in many more closer games and were much more competitive. Next season should show even more improvement. Only four players will be lost through graduation. Five players will return with a lot of experience. Dan Seals led the team in rebounding and defensive play. Aaron McCall and Aaron Schermerhorn were the leading scorers. Hank and Harry Myers deserve praise for their outstanding hustle and desire. Also. Aaron McCall set a school (and possibly league) single game scoring record with a 47 point performance against Bandon. BOBCATS are about to score again. DANNY Seals has always been a real friendly guy. BUCK McCall struggles to get the tip. J.V. and pRosh BasketBall The Myrtle Point Freshman team ended their season winning 9 games and losing 9 games. Leading the young Bobcats in scoring were Mike Capanna, Kevin Arment. and Ted Fischer The highlight of the season was beating Coquille 44-40. The cats” defeated every sunset team at least once except for Brookings. Four of the games that the Bobcats lost were by a total of eight points. The team was coached by Mr. Hall Thomas and assisted by Jim Bolling. The J.V.'s coach couldn't find the exact words to tell how good his team was this year, therefore we'll leave it up to your imagination. BOB Whittset and Vic Hammack watch to see if the ball goes in.

The first has been the seperating of the non-fiction books and reduction and modernizing of the faction collection. A larger, more accurately cataloged reference section new exists. The magazine collection is under constant revision; some of the 125 titles are changed each year to meet the reading interests of students and curriculum requirements of teachers. The most recent change has been in the area of non-print material. Hundreds of new sound-filmstrips have been added covering a wide range of subjects. Also, more audiovisual equipment has been acquired to insure access to this material. We also have a laminating press, which is being used through-out the district to prepare materials in the schools. Plans are to continue adding more non-print material and continuously update both the fiction and non-fiction book collection.

Of course there were ups and downs throughout the season, but all rewarding things have thier ups and downs. The most rewarding thing for me was the improvement by the younger group of kids. The Seniors were already quite proficient in their respective areas and the improvement was there but not as noticeable as with the younger kids. Even with the changes that were taking place (new personality, new ideas, new emphasis, old attitudes) we noticed a great deal of improvement. We believe that in two years Myrtle Point is going to be a major track power in Southwest Oregon With the new asphalt track we have been granted the hosting of the District meet in 1 977. It is a great honor for a school to host anything so significant.

Varsity Baseball This year's baseball season was an off and on proposition with 13 games rained out and then beautiful baseball weather to finish up. The Bobcats finished third in the league beating out Coquille and Bandon. The team played 2 freshmen and 3 sophomores and only one senior. Troy Burdick was the leading hitter and Henry Myers is the most improved player. Next year we have 12 returning lettermen; so look out Sun Set here we come! J. V. Baseball Myrtle Point J.V. baseball completed their season with a won-loss record of 5-5. After a slow start the Bobcats finished up under sunny skies winning 4 of their last 5 ball games. Two of the wins coming against North Bend sophomores who were 10-1 at the time. The Bobcats received outstanding performances from team captain. Mike Capanna, Ted Fisher, Joe Johnson. Brad Carter, and Steve David through the entire season. The desire and enthusiasm displayed by the Bobcats through the season makes next season look even bigger and better.
