HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSO. 16 Administrators Face Challenges Each new school year has its own problems and peculiarities and the 1981 session was no different. A struggling economy, declining enrollment, and rising unemployment created a tremendous challenge for the District 41 administrative staff. MPHS Principal Mr. Tom Roe noted that his greatest challenge during the year was to, ... develop a master schedule in the face of two complexities; declining enrollment and staff reduction, and still not cut entire programs. Vice-Principal Mr. Frank Grove added, Besides convincing all the unbelievers that I finally caught a twenty-seven pound steelhead, my biggest challenge was keeping some students in school on a regular basis. A few students had the propensity for missing school for the flimsiest of reasons which they maintained were legitimate and excusable. 1. Contacting a fellow Athletic Director, Mr. Grove makes plans for the next Myrtle Tree Classic. 2. Activities Director Mr. Tom Howard assists junior Heidi Payne with planning a fund raising activity for her class. 3. Mr. Roe, Principal, assists Mrs. Hammack with a question on a billing procedure. 2T Board Makes Crucial Decisions As the public's representatives, school board members have at least three major obligations: (1) They must provide the finest program of education possible for the children in their community; (2) they must act responsibly in providing this education by budgeting and expending all available funds in a wise and cautious manner: and (3) they must understand the changes that occur in the economic and social lifestyles in their community in order to work with citizens, administration, and school staff in providing the type of educational program that best meets the needs of their district. Therefore, the Board is the school district's policy maker; it is the public's representative; it is a public employer; it is the Learners Champion ; and it along with the assistance of its executive officer, is the community's educational leader. 1 A 2A 1. Stressing the importance of an issue, assistant superintendent Ray Hajduk pauses for a question from a fellow board member, while Jim Johnson checks his notes. 2.

Brown Mixed emotions await Seniors “Because of the poor economical situation there just isn't the usual scholarship money available, pointed out Mr. Dorwin Lovell. Seniors are faced with the task of funding their college education without financial assistance that would normally be there. The unemployment rate in Coos County was the second highest among counties in Oregon forcing families to further tighten their budgets leaving seniors precariously indecisive about their future. Blake Barklow, Rick Roc, and Mike Craven examine the stock pages to see if their investments are safe. Playing the stock market was just one of the required units in Personal Finance. 18 bud Brummel Dan Burdick O'kyu Choe Mike Craven Gordon Cromwell Vicki Crook Cindy Davis Gail Dery Bill DeSoto Dante Dewald Christina Dewey Rosalind Dickey Steven Egli Cindy Elder t-a Fifty Srs. In Work Experience I hope that the work experience students will begin to make the transition from the world of high school to the world of work ' work experience coordinator Mr. Scott MacCluer pointed out. I want them to learn how to function effectively and efficiently in today's world. Fifty seniors were enrolled in the program. Occupational training and awareness for students ranged from secretarial work, clerical training, dental assistant, veterinarian assistant training and auto mechanic apprenticeship. 1.

One hundred and fifteen seniors were instructed this year by two first year Personal Finance teachers- Mr. Dave Robnett and Mr. Marc Mauze. Students completed projects in banking practices for the family, procedures for purchasing a home, completing income tax forms, and other pertinent financial issues. I hope that my students can obtain a basic financial understanding so they can survive with wise use of money and how to make good eco- nomic decisions, Mr. Robnett pointed out. Students from Mr. Mauze's class had the opportunity to listen to local realtors and to visit homes that were for sale. They were then required to evaluate each home as a prospective family unit. Mr. Mauze indicated, I hope to teach students that the simple things in life are the most important. Students were given the opportunity to hear speakers from the Myrtle Point business community talk on subjects ranging from banking procedures to real estate, from farming to logging. 1. Laura Lund finds the income tax forms complicated to follow, but gets assistance from her teacher, Mr. Dave Robnett. 2. Tim Ferguson completes short form 1040A. 3.

In a way, it's sort of like a new beginning. There's a lot of things out there for us to do with our lives, and it's a pretty big decision to make. We get a lot of well meant suggestions from a lot of people, but when it all comes down, it's no-one's decision but our own. When you look back over the last twelve years, it's kind of funny to think about how much we've changed, and how sometimes we went about learning things the hard or painful or embarrassing way. But one way or another, it all worked out for most of us. We are what we make ourselves to be. Checking the correct spelling for a creative writing assignment is Senior Jennifer Johnson.

There was no sign of a last ditch campaign to raise money for graduation festivities. Nor was there the slightest hint of panic as the eventful day approached. Organization prevailed -thanks to student leaders like Gina and Gordon. 1. Associated Student Body President Gina Woods presides over an executive session of the student council. 2.

The class sponsored numerous fund raising activities throughout the school year to pay for graduation functions and color pictures in the yearbook. They had car washes, football concessions, cake raffles at basketball games, sold pendants, top 40 tapes and Bobcat T-shirts. As the school came to a conclusion the Class of '81 were secure financially and did not have to sponsor last minute activities to raise money. This was due primarily to the leadership of senior class President Gordon Cromwell and student body President Gina Woods.

Junior Class Strives For Adventure For the ambitious junior class 1981 was a year of activity and adventure. Constantly striving for the new and different, they organized and sponsored a wide variety of endeavors. Early in the Fall they took charge of the Sadie Hawkins dance, making it one of the exciting dances of the school year. With Mr. Dorwin Lovell playing the roll of Marry'n Sam, Mr. Gary Leif of Leif Photography in Winston, Oregon, and with Moon Mountain Recording providing the music, it was a night of overalls, checkered shirts, and haystacks - a night not to be forgotten by many. Basketball games were the staging area for the juniors' Winter activities. They sold bleacher pads, sponsored cake raffles, hosted the free-throw shoot, and in general, added to the festive excitement of both the boys and girls successful seasons. As Spring came so did the Junior Prom. With a unique and adventurous attitude, the class held the dance in the Fair Grounds Dance Hall. For a month prior to the dance they cleaned, waxed, and cleaned some more to make this a Prom unmatched in recent years. 1.

Due to the lack of money, the staff had to make do with the old, keeping different things repaired when needed. The new furnace is the only thing keepin' us going till the economy gets better, and more money available , commented Mr. Floyd. The custodial staff had planned to put 20 new lockers in the senior hall, but it was eliminated from the budget, as was new lights for the cafeteria and outside painting of the gym. New lockers installed for the following years is a must commented Mr. Floyd. Main 1. Head cook Flo Egelhoff adds a cheese topping to celery. 2.

Junior Benny Stewart led the boys attack and found assistance from freshmen Scott Flood, Chris Mitchell and Chancy Johnson. But lack of depth proved to be the Bobcats stumbling block. We were one good runner from making a repeat visit to state this year, according to Coach Pat Towne. I am excited about the future of the program here. We had the best crop of freshmen runners in the league, he added. Freshman Scott Flood was undefeated against all other nineth grade competition, while freshmen team mates Chris Mitchell and Chancy Johnson were only defeated by each other dur- ing the season. The girls team was rated in the state's top ten all season long, but the loss of a runner late in the year and a bit of bad luck caused their dreams of a state visit to fade. Junior Nancy Barkley, one of the top twenty girls runners at the high school AA state level, led the team. Peggy Raymond, junior, was the best newcomer on the team. Outstanding efforts were given throughout the season by Sherrelle Sinko, Wendy Lovell, and Sherrie Schirmer, all freshmen. 1. Leading runner all season was junior Benny Stewart. He placed nineth at district and was recognized as the Cats most consistent runner by Coach Towne. 2. Freshman Wendi Lovell was the teams most improved runner according the Coach Towne. Here she completes the rigorous Bandon course. 3. Sophomore Travis Mauck finished the season as the teams number five runner. Here he leads team mate Chris Mitchell. 11 Frosh Are Strong Performers We run in the best cross country league in the state ' Coach Pat Towne commented after his teams finished a respectable third (boys) and fourth (girls) at the annual district run. Perennial league champions Brookings repeated again and surprising Reedsport placed second ahead of the Bobcats in the boys competition. The Cats placed four boys in the top sixteen, but their fifth runner could manage only 33rd place dropping the team into third. Benny Stewart finished the race in 9th place; Scott Flood was 11th; Chris Mitchell crossed at 13th; Chancy Johnson finished in 16th position. Forty seven runners from across the Far West League competed in the run that was held on the always tough Bandon course. The girls team placed four runners in the top eighteen as Nancy Barkley finished 9th, Peggy Raymond 13th, Sherelle Sinko 16th, and Wendi Lovell 18th. Thirty four girls from all seven Far West League schools competed. Coach Towne added, To place this high against the type of competition we face in this league is an achievement worthy of praise. Considering the young kids and inexperience we had to overcome I'm pleased with the results this season. 1. Cross country team members include: Chris Mitchell, Nam Choe, Travis Mauck, Darren LaCasse, Chancy Johnson, Benny Stewart, Rick Ralph, Scott Flood, Norm Dewey, Sherelle Sinko, Bobby Bateman, Peggy Raymond, Wendi Lovell, Nancy Barkley, Cindy Elder, Gail Dcry, and Sherrie Schirmer. 2.

Injuries played a major role in the undoing of the Cats as no fewer than fourteen starting positions were effected at one time or another during the course of the schedule. For the better part of the season junior George Mullenax handled the quarterbacking duties for senior Bud Brummel who was injured in the first game of the season and did not return to the team for the rest of the year. Running back Gordon Cromwell gave the team an outstanding effort finishing the season as the leading ground gainer. Team awards were presented at the annual Fall Activities Awards Banquet. Gordon Cromwell was named as the teams Most Valuable Player award 1. Preparing to pitch to running back Royce Hancock-20, quarterback George Mullenax - 9 executes the option play perfectly. 2.

On paper the Cats jumped off to an encouraging start as they defeated two of their first three non-league opponents. But in realistic terms the team paid a high price for those two wins -seniors Bud Brummel, Bill DeSoto, and Andy Gilbert suffered injuries that incapacitated them for the remainder of the schedule. The plague continued to take its toll on the team as no fewer than fourteen starting positions were out of the lineup at one time or another during the season. 1.

Henshaw kicked every conversion through the uprights for the Bobcats this season to earn the honor as the premier kicker in the league. Three Cats were selected to the second team, Andy Gilbert was a second unit back as was fullback Gordon Cromwell. Mark Smith was a second unit line backer. All three are seniors. Seven players were chosen to the honorable mention list. Don Larsen was picked as a defensive back, Jeff Train as an offensive lineman. Bill DeSoto and Gordon Cromwell as defensive ends, Mark Smith as offensive lineman and Andy Lakey as a punter. All are seniors. 1.

The young Cats compiled an impressive 7-1 season record, losing only to arch rival Coquille in the closing seconds. The team notched shutout victories in six of their seven wins while averaging four touchdowns per game on offense. After recording opening wins over Pacific and Freemont (Rose-burg) the Bobcats ran into their share of bad luck against Coquille. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie in the first half, but a disputed two point conversion after a Coquille touchdown made the difference in what was otherwise a perfect season. The following weeks saw the Frosh-Sophs bounce back with wins over Reedsport, Siuslaw, Brookings, Bandon, and Gold Beach. During this streak the tough Frosh-Soph defense gave up but one score, a touchdown by Reedsport. Special awards were presented to several team members during the Fall Activities Awards Banquet. Tim Lakey was named the teams' Most Valuable Player; Mark Knowlton was selected the Defensive Player of the Year; Sam Brown was presented the Most In- spirational award; and Roger Hancock received the Most Improved Player medal. In a surprise presentation at the banquet team members recognized the outstanding efforts of their two coaches - Mr. Marty Gary and Mr. Scott MacCluer - by giving each a plaque of appreciation. 1.

Continuing a success story that has labeled Myrtle Point's volleyball program as one of the most competitive at the AA State level, the Cats were once again in the state playoffs for 1980. The team represented the Far West League as its number two representative behind champions Reedsport. MP tied Reed-sport for the league title but had to forfeit three matches dropping them into a tie with Gold Beach for second in league. The Cats eventually defeated the Panthers in a one match playoff to advance to the first round of state. We put together one of our best seasons and can't feel bad about the loss in the first round of State, commented Coach Jodi Hajduk following the loss to Illinois Valley. As the number two team the Cats had to travel to I.V. where they lost in two straight games. During the regular season the team dominated their opponents losing only twice on the court, once to Reedsport and once to I.V. The girls won their own tournament with victories over Brookings, Bandon, Pacific, and Rogue River. Four Bobcats were named to the Far West League All Star teams. Teresa Miller and Lyn-dee Leibelt were named to the select first team while Janet De-Soto and Darla VanVlack were named to the second team. At the Fall Activities Awards Banquet individual awards were given to Teresa Miller as team Captain and Super Setter and to Lyndee Leibelt as Super Hitter. 64 1.

The Cats violated the rule concerning the number of Coach Hajduk gives her team last minute instructions prior to the Gold Beach playoff match. The Cats won in three games to advance to the State playoffs. games a player can participate in on the same night. The mistake was discovered at the final match of the season against eventual league champions Reedsport. Further research revealed that the team had made the same error on three previous occasions. Consequently they had to forfeit all three creating the tie with 7-4 Gold Beach. Despite the disaster, the Cats rebounded to defeat the Panthers and advanced to the first round of the state playoffs. However, a tough and aggressive Illinois Valley team overpowered the Cats in straight games.

The young Cats lost three-game matches to Coquille, Brookings and Siuslaw before turning things around. With everything falling into ▼ 3 place the J.V. team defeated every team they faced including wins over the three teams they lost to earlier. We proved to ourselves that we could win this season ' noted coach Paula Sangster. The early losses were demoralizing, but as we gained momentum our confidence in ourselves carried us. This young J.V. team was a very specialized group. Each player had certain skills and responsibilities that contributed to the teams success. Junior Lynn Abel and sophomore Lisa Jarman led the team. Kristy Palmer was an outstanding server on the team along with Katherine McKenzie. Freshman Geri Hajduk was a super hitter. Other team members that did an outstanding job during the season according to Coach Sangster were Debbie Burdick, Julie Raymond, and Kristi Swenson. 1.

Girls 14-6, Miss Tourney Berth Despite posting a 14-6 record overall and a 9-3 league record the girls basketball team failed to make the state playoffs for the first time in four seasons. “It would be easy to find excuses to explain why we didn't make the State Tournament this season. We could say injuries to the key people hurt us, or youth and inexperience were causes for losing critical games, or lack of bench strenght, but these are just excuses, not the real explanation. We lost the key games at the end of the season because on that given night we were not the better ball club. They got 100% out of their players at the right time; we faltered, commented varsity coach Tom Howard. The Bobcats were in a three-way tie for first in the Far West League with Gold Beach and Reedsport at the end of the regular season. They lost the coin flip forcing a single game playoff with the loser of the Reedsport - Gold Beach game and Freshman All-League guard Geri Hajduk puts up an attempt from outside against arch rival Gold Beach.

Reading Help, Tutoring Given class students go over vocabulary, oral readings and are also tested by timed readings which increases their reading fluency. Each student upon entering the class is tested to determine what reading level they belong in; they then are placed in groups accordingly. Their deficiencies are pinpointed then they are worked with individually by Mrs. Bick and her aide Mrs. Linda Smith. Tutoring is part of the vocational program. Mrs. Donna Fawcett is MPHS' only tutor. She tutors all day long and helps 10 to 20 students. Several students come in on a regular basis (considering it as a study period) and others drop in if they need extra help. The students not only receive individual help (possibly taught from a different angle) but are able to get questions answered and opinions and ideas expressed. Interest and a sense of achievement and comprehension result. Such hinderences as vague or lax teaching, personality clashes and a sense of pressure or carelessness, prominent in class rooms, may have made this learning impossible. 1. Among the activities of Title 1 Reading are timed readings. Timed readings increase reading fluency, accuracy and comprehension. Mrs. Bick checks junior Melanie Marche's progress. 2.

Whether a problem deals with basic skills or a weak subject, these programs give individualized and effective aid. The Resource Room taught by Mrs. Joan Towne is a class where students can receive help on basic skills, study skills, and regular class work. The resource room serves approximately 20 students at this time and is offered 6th and 7th periods. A few of the topics taught are banking, job skills, nutrition, measurement and money management. The curriculum centers around skills that will be needed to help students be successful in life.

Oregon was the second hardest hit state in the country due to the sag in the lumber industry that was stagnant because of high interest rates. Michigan rated as the hardest hit nation with the auto industry suffering similar problems as the wood products industry. Locally Murphy Veneer and Leep Lumber were closed or running at partial capacity throughout most of the year. West Brook, another major employer in the area, also had to cut back its work force and go to a limited schedule with the demand for lumber products at an all time low. Interest rates reached record levels, topping off at 20.75 percent before dropping. The prime rate leveled off near the 18 percent mark and fluctuated a point or two for the rest of the year. With the cost of money lending and borrowing so high many small community businesses were forced to close their doors not able to afford the inventory necessary to compete with the larger outlets. The housing market came to a vir tual standstill. Buyers found interes rates too high and sellers found ven few with GI benefits able to afford new home. New home constructior from a speculative point of view wa non-existant. Only those who hai money on hand were able to buili new homes. By the end of the year the rampag ing inflation rate had stalled and wa now dropping with experts calling fo a single digit inflation figure for th first time in several years for 1982.
