According to Mr. Roe, Principal, the goal is to have every senior pass the tests. However, after the first round of the tests, 90% had met the mimimum requirements. Nonetheless, once those who had failed were given remedial and tutorial assistance, 98% of the senior class had passed. This success figure was the highest in the three year history of the competency program. As in previous years, seniors were tested in math, spelling, written and oral communication. 1.

Time flew as they were involved in competency exams, SAT tests, meeting graduation requirements, and planning for the final ceremony. On top of it all, they still found time to express concern and make preparations for their futures. Within the busy schedules many seniors made their presence known in the area of athletics. For the first time a Cross Country team placed third at the state meet. The girls' Volleyball squad went undefeated in league play and qualified for the State Tournament for the third straight year. The girls' Basketball team made their third consecutive trip to the AA State Tournament. The boys' Basketball team made tremendous improvements, contending in the tough Farwest League for the first time in several years. There are only a few notable examples as the seniors contributed greatly to the winning tradition at MPHS. 1.

Many have set goals for themselves and are striving to reach them, according to senior advisor, Mr. Doug Gibbons. Amid the excitement of an Olympic year, seniors were faced with several dilemmas. Most notable were the Iranian hostage problem, Russian invasion of Afghanistan, a soaring inflation rate of 13.5% and reinstatement of the draft, which would effect the lives of all students at MPHS.

Jp i; WS®w§M m a Spirit echoes throughout MPHS halls Reverberations of a renewed school spirit echoed throughout the MPHS halls as attitude and pride continued its current upswing.

Throughout the school year the group gave entertaining routines. During the fall they performed at half time of all home football games and in the winter they danced at several boys and girls basketball games. In addition they participated in the Harvest Festival Parade and at the Coos County Fair Parade. This, by far, was the most active Dance Team in recent history. Dance Team advisor, Mrs. Carol Roush, pointed out that as members the girls spent many nights a week practicing for performances. Their dedication to the team was above and beyond the call of duty. 1.

Tabbed as the most active class at MPHS; the juniors organized several fund raising projects to raise money for their prom at the end of the year. Not only were juniors seen selling raffle tickets in the halls for everything from chocolate cakes to stuffed teddy bears, but they also sponsored concessions at varsity athletic events, put on the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and even sold booster buttons to hungry Bobcat fans. Prestige and notoriety were bestowed upon the junior class as Jennifer Johnson was selected Homecoming Queen at the annual fall festivities. Most juniors found this year as a time to prepare for the pressures around the corner as seniors. Some prepared for and completed the PSAT tests to determine their prospective potential on the SAT test next year. Still others made choices around career oriented programs at MPHS such as construction, forestry, and business. The majority, however, dedicated this year to academics as they prepared for their competency tests as seniors. Mathematics, English, Speech, and History were topics of great concern. 1.

Field trips to Cape Arago and various locations around the Coquille Valley area provided valuable information to this study. Consumer Math students faced problems dealing with balancing check books, understanding interest charges on loans, preparing taxes, mastering the metric system, and investigating the values of savings accounts. Bank of Myrtle Point and Security Bank provided field trips and information to assist this program. 1.

The existing base of $251,081 was initiated at the onset of reorganization back in 1960 and it was not adequate to maintain existing educational programs for the school district's 1150 students. The voters approved an amount of $1,926,750 as the District's revised tax base. Superintendent Gerald Bennett had this to say about the outcome: The new tax base is a very special compliment to Myrtle Point School District and all of its support systems - especially to the STUDENTS, because they get but one opportunity to an education and the schools' patrons have assured them of a good basic education with this vote. Every precinct (9) passed the tax base measure and such wide spread support is greatly appreciated by all of us. 118 4 8 1.

Early in the year a new boiler was installed to replace the old, inefficient system. Drapes were pulled during the day. Thermostats were turned down to 65 degrees. Weekend activities were concentrated into one area of the campus to prevent heat waste. The complaints were few as teachers and students began wearing warmer clothing and accepting the new adjustments. 120 8 7 1. Mr. Marv Floyd, working with the new boiler. 2.

Rising yearly inflation approached new records, nearly 18% according to economic experts. With this Myrtle Point's citizens found gasoline prices soar from 65 cents a gallon in May of last year to $1.30 a gallon in May of 1980. Predictions call for $1.50 a gallon for gas by summer, not to include President Jimmy Carter's new 10 cent a gallon tax to curb use. Prices for food, clothing, and energy kept pace with inflation rates leaving little or no hope in the near future for relief to the consumer. Most family budgets in Myrtle Point and across the nation have been tightened to reflect the new trends. Travel has been restricted, food shopping cut back to necessities, and expenditures for extras curtailed. Relief from this misery was postponed as more hardships landed in the lap of consumers in the form of stampeding interest rates. By late April the 20% plateau brought restrictions on lending from President Carter. The wood working industry came to a dramatic halt, forcing many Myrtle Point residents in to the unemployment lines. Logging crews, mill hands, truck drivers, carpenters and every wood industry related occupation was affected. l 1. Housing starts fell off drastically in 1980 as interest rates and tight money market conditions forced most prospective builders and buyers to wait for greener times, including plans for further construction in the Apple Hills sub-division 2. Myrtle Point's northeast residential district lies peacefully on a Myrtle covered hillside despite the economic turmoil of the times. 3. Logging industries suffered the most in this year of recession. Both Murphy's and Leep's, Mrytle Point's in-city mills, had to cut back on the work week and shifts to meet the drop in demand for wood products. 122 Advertisments X.
