Introduction 3 But we still excite in the fun we had. One of the highlights of Homecoming was the Pow-derpuff football game Sept. 16. A frosh senior team was coached by Brad Henshaw and Dan Roush. The coaches for the soph junior team were Tom Johnson, Tim Lakey, Mark Breitkreitz and Randy Davis. The purpose of the game was to have fun but many of the players were tense and it turned out to be a far more competitive game than most people expected. At the sound of the final buzzer the score was tied 6-6. Some of the seniors felt there should have been a rematch or overtime but in the end neither team found out which was superior. 1 Frosh Senior coach Brad Henshaw explains to Karen Morin and Bonnie Barkwell the next play that is to be used. 2.

For five activity-filled days spirit ran through the halls of Myrtle Point High School during Homecoming Week Sept. 14-18. Carolyn Sheldahl reigned over the homecoming ceremonies as homecoming queen. Carolyn's princesses were Peggy Raymond, senior; Tracey Ames, junior; Sari Spink, sophomore; and Janet Dempsey, freshman. The week's activities started with Scum Bag Day. A pieeating contest was scheduled for noon on Monday. The senior freshman team defeated the junior sophomore team in the Brute volleyball game that evening. Students dressed up as cowboys and Indians and danced at a hoe-down Tues- day. Wednesday was Twin Day. The bonfire and tug of war completed the day's activities. Thursday was Punk Day. Friday brought Red and Blue Day. A pep assembly boosted spirit for the homecoming game. Before the game, students cruised Myrtle Point in a car rally.

Introduction 13 14 Academics Division Academics Division 15 Students Create In Crafts Along with a new teacher, a new class is provided this year tor all art enthusiasts. In the Crafts class, Mr. Vincent teaches other forms of art besides drawing. This includes working with leather, clay, and even some jewelry. Mr. Vincent is a transfer from Myrtle Crest and has been working for eight years. He feels that teaching at a high school is a challenge because of the age of the pupils. 1 Mr. Vincent, Crafts teacher, assists Ann Heim and Tammy Amos with their projects, 2 Molding clay. Kristi Kincheloe prepares to start on her clay box. 3 Kathy Wamsley, Cindy Muenzer, and Patricia Mullenax group up to work on their clay boxes 16 Crafts Projects Built Woodshop is the kind of class where an ordinary piece of wood is transformed into anything from a bowl to a gun cabinet. With the help of Mr. Ward-man, woodshop teacher, and with the aid of some new time-saving equipment, students are able to finish projects faster and easier than on their own. 1.

But this year's Bobcat House went one step further with a 9 x 23 ft. sunspace. The sunspace captures the sun's heat and distributes heat throughout the house. The sunspace will help save energy and money. Supervisor Mr. Hartvigson feels the construction class offers good experiences to students. It's an introduction to the carpentry trade with on-the-job experience. In construction class, the paperwork and homework is slim, but the individual labor gives a certain satisfaction. Mr. Hartvigson said, Construction is one of the best classes I have ever taught. He said he likes the class because he can observe the results rather than grade them. 1 Ready to work on the Bobcat House is Sherri Hooper. 2 Mr. Hartvigson helps Jim Fischer and Randy Davis with the roof on the garage of the Bobcat House 3. Tim Lakey and Bill Dollarhyde cut extra supports for the garage roof 18 Construction Vo-Ag Students Prepare For Future In Vocational Agriculture students learned skills they may use later in life. Mr. Verlin Hermann, Vo-Ag instructor, taught livestock judging, selection, breeding, and management. Vo-Ag students learned about different kinds of soils. They studied what types of fertilizers to use to make the soil good for raising different types of crops. The students learned how to prune fruit trees and they gained experience by pruning trees around Myrtle Point. The students learned leadership skills and shop skills including welding. The students grew flowers for the Bobcat House. They did experiments in judging livestock, meats, and soils. Students learned to keep records of their observations. Vo-Ag students completed individual farm projects. For example, Nancy Baker, raised a sow named Peaches. Peaches plays ball, hide-n-seek, chase, and other games. She has produced three litters of pigs so far. They have been quite profitable, Nancy reported. Peaches was the champion Future Farmers of America sow at the Coos County Fair. Nancy earned a Grand Champion Showmanship award at the Coos County Fair with Peaches. Mr. Hermann and Rod Odle measure a met-ol strip for Rod's class project. Flermann Retires Mr. Hermann, the FFA adviser, will not be teaching at MPHS next year. Mr. Hermann said, I have taught at the high school for 20 years, and it was a wonderful experience which was full of enjoyment. He felt that the most rewarding part of being the FFA adviser was being able to watch the development of FFA members. Mr. Hermann explains some different pruning techniques to members of his Vo-Ag class Vocational Agriculture 19 Forestry Class Is Active Forestry classes had a variety of projects that were worked on this year, including preparation of the nature trail at the lower land lab. The land lab is three different pieces of property at different locations. They are used for tree growth study areas and one is to be logged off. We had a very good representation for our school at both Skills Day and the state contest in Salem, commented Mr. Dyal. Other projects the forestry class did were to enlarge and refine their logging system units. They also developed a more complete safety program. This was a year of many accomplishments. 1.

Metals was a learning experience for most of the kids who wanted to try to accomplish something. Most of the students have learned many basic skills, such as Arc and Oxyacetylene welding, and how to figure a bill of materials and plan their projects. The best project worked on in class was the building of a heating stove by Banner Parker. “Small Engines was an overall good class, commented Mr. Vincent. The main goal of this year's class was to teach them good working habits and to get an introduction to small engines. Mr. Vincent also said that it was a learning experience for him, because it was his first year of teaching high school students. 1. Mr. Hermann helps out Richard Martin on an assignment in Metals Class. 2 Banner Parker stands beside the wood-stove he completed in metals class this year Small Engines 21 Changes Made In PE And Health The juniors and seniors joined the sophomores this year as they finished out their full year requirement of Health. Health is a full year course now for all students. Another change this year was that all the Physical Education classes became Coed. Paula Sangster joined the teaching staff this year as one of the Coed PE teachers after six years of teaching at the junior high level. Miss Sangster commented, There wasn't that much more of a change, except that you have to be more flexible with the students at high school than at junior high. Most of the PE teachers liked Coed PE. They felt that the classes, being all coed, were really going well. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Walker are two other Coed PE teachers. Mr. Walker also teaches Health. This year's Health program included some new things: growth and development, advanced nutrition, a disease unit and a mental health unit. 1. This PE group learns how difficult push-ups can be as (left to right) Kristi Swenson, Coed PE teacher Miss Sangster, Catherine Davis, Lynn Abel, Kristi Kinchoie, Stacy Bryant, and Geri Hajduk struggle it out. 2 Bod Odle, Denise Davis, Jon Hoftman, Shelly Thompson, Kelley Locker, and John Barnard isten to Mr. Walker give a lecture in Health. 22 PE And Health Sophs Face New Class This year the state required all sophomores to take Global Studies. Most sophomores seemed to find the new requirement a pretty interesting class. In Global Studies the sophomores studied different countries and cultures and how all countries are interdependent. They compared the United States with other countries. This class was taught by Mrs. Sixberry, Mr. Robnett. and Mrs. Kingery. Along with Global Studies is U.S. History, a class required for juniors, and Civics, a class required for freshmen. Both of these classes are taught by Mr. Peterson. He has been teaching PE for 2t years and said, Civics and History are a pleasant change from PE. All three of these classes are in the Social Studies department. Civics is a class about the American government. 1 Mr. Peterson helps Jean Priest with her U.S. History assignment. 2 Mrs. Sixberry lectures her Global Studies class while getting ready to show them a slide presentation Social Studies 23 Two Years Of Math Required Every student is required to take two years of math. The most common two year sequences are General Math and Consumer Math. The majority of students stop at this time but a few go on to study more difficult levels of mathematics such as Algebra II, Trigonometry-Analysis, and if a student takes Algebra I in eighth grade he or she has the opportunity to take a college Calculus course at Coquille as a senior. Three teachers have the responsibility of teaching these classes. They are Pat Towne who is head of the Math Department, Art Denning, and Hal Dyal. 1. Mr. Denning helps Mltii Sturgill in Consumer Math as Julie Sykes and Tim Lakey do their work. 2. Mr. Towne, who is the head teacher of the math department, helps Carolyn Shel-dahl and Debbie Burdick in Physics. 24 Math Science World Explored Science teachers are Bob Breitkreutz, Hall Thomas, and Leon Hartvigson. Marine Freshwater Biology This class is a two semester class. The first semester is Marine Biology and the second is Freshwater. Marine Biology studies the beach, the ocean, and the estuaries. Included are the identification and ecology of marine organisms found in their habitats. Freshwater Biology studies the organisms and their environments in lakes, ponds and streams. The pond below the baseball field is frequently visited. Freshwater organisms studied begin with the microscopic, and proceed to fish and mammals. Biology Biology is a class for sophomores, and is a general introduction to the field. Included is the history of biology, microbiology, ecology, vertebrate, and invertebrate biology, genetics, botany, and dissection. IPS IPS is a freshman course and is generally on earth science with a refresher in the metric system and scientific notation. Included is a study of rocks and minerals and their identification, weather, volcanoes, earthquakes, map reading, soils, erosion and weathering, the oceans, astronomy, and glaciation. Physics Physics includes the study of electricity, the freezing and melting points of substances, velocity and energy of falling material, and the study of light. This class is offered to students who have the qualifications. Chemistry Chemistry is the science of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter, the study of the periodic table. It includes lab experiments and studies. 1. Mr. Hartvigson helps Bryce Sykes in IPS as John Weathers looks on 2.

Science 25 Language Arts Classes Change The Language Arts department underwent many changes this year. Among these was the addition of a new English instructor, Mrs. Dianne Kingery. Prior to her work at Myrtle Point High School, she taught special reading at Myrtle Crest for two years. A change in the high school curriculum also became effective at the beginning of the year. Instead of having a variety of electives to choose, freshmen and sophomores were required to take one year-long class. In this class they received training in both reading and writing 2 1 Mrs. Sixberry can barely restrain her laughter. 2 Mrs. Watson was the substitute while Mrs. Kirk took a leave of absence to have her baby Mrs. Watson took over the classes and kept them in order until Mrs. Kirk returned. 3 Mrs. Kingery is giving her 7th period. Freshmen English class the Monday assignment Todd Little said, “Mrs. Kingery is a helpful, kind, and understanding teacher. techniques. The change was a success according to Mr. Marty Gary as he commented, I think it simplifies the scheduling process. The annual competency tests also underwent a few alterations. In the past, only seniors were required to take the tests which measured reading, writing, speaking and spelling skills in the Language Arts area. As a result of the competency test changes, juniors also took the exams. Mrs. Sixberry, head of the language Arts area stated, The new competency writing test should be fairer to students than it was before. 26 Language Arts 1. Honored for their Creative Writing skills were Regina Mattoon, Aura Lee Holly, Jennifer Myhre, and Rick Ray. Not pictured are Todd Parker and Karl Wingren. 2 Laura Larsen’s essay won first place in the Emblem Club's essay contest 3. Named Outstanding English students were Greg Harms, Laura Larsen, Kristi Swenson, and Angela Robertson. Writing Brings Great Rewards Writing brought special rewards to many English students. Named the most outstanding English students in their classes were Greg Harms, senior; Laura Larsen, junior; Kristi Swenson, sophomore; and Angela Robertson, freshman. For her writing talent Carolyn Sheldahl was awarded a one term tuition scholarship to Southwest Oregon Community college, Composition students entered the Emblem Club's essay contest on the topic What America Means to Me. Laura Larsen's essay was chosen as the best essay submitted by students in Myrtle Point, Bandon, and Coquille. Janet DeSoto won second place in the Dorothy Guerin Memorial Essay Contest. Six students received Certificates of Merit for their poems and essays. The National Poetry and Essay Press honored these writers: Rick Ray, Karl Wingren, Todd Parker, Jennifer Myhre, Aura Lee Holly, and Regina Mattoon. The students' poems and essays were chosen from all the entries submitted in the Western United States. Freshman English students wrote children's books and read them to grade school students at Myrtle Crest. The books had to be 25 pages long and be entertaining to both elementary students and young adults. Students who read their books were Angela Robertson, Denise Shirtcliff, Stacey Murray, Todd Miles, Camille Denning, and Tresa Wise. Students performed in a community theater production of H.M.S. Pinafore. Mike Royer acted in the play and Kay Schirmer and Cheri Weekly sang in the chorus. French I and French II were the foreign language electives offered. Mrs. Sixberry taught both classes in the same period. As a result the advanced students got a good review and the beginning students got extra help. In contests over knowledge of the French language and culture boys competed against girls. “The boys usually won, said Mrs. Sixberry. Language Arts 27 First This year's swing choir not only did an outstanding musical job, but was probably the neatest group of kids that I have ever had the privilege to teach, commented Mr. Harms, choir director. Myrtle Point was represented very well by both the concert and swing choirs. The New Vibrations were awarded first place in the Newport Swing Choir Festival. In this contest, the choir competed with 14 other swing choirs from all over the state. Individual awards were also given. The Most Outstanding At Festival member of the concert choir was Lance Sperling. In the swing choir, awards were given to Willie Walter, Most Improved; Mike Royer and Norman Dewey, Service Award; Mike Royer, Most Outstanding; and Teresa McNeill, Outstanding Soloist. The following vocal students received four year awards: Dawn Ames, Nancy Barkley, Norman Dewey, Aura Lee Holly, David James, Paula Langehennig, Paul Mills, Mike Royer, Lance Sperling, Willie Walter, Diane Wallace, and Donna Wallace. 1.

The concert band makes the most of what it has to work with. This year, making the most meant getting a superior rating at the annual band festival held in North Bend. Mr. Simons, band director, commented, As a music room, the cafeteria leaves High much to be desired, but the kids seem to work hard enough to even it out. 1.

Band 29 New Teacher Enjoys Challenge A new addition to the school this year was Home Economics teacher, Ms. Heidi McLaughlin. Her first teaching job she considers challenging but enjoyable. She supervises Cruise, Child's World, Housing, and two classes of Sewing, Beginning Home Economics and Creative Foods. She states, Home Ec. is a way to pursue a better life style and it prepares you for the basic skills you will use later in life. It also offers many job opportunities. She likes the unity of the school and says it gets a lot of support. Her overall opinion is, The Home Economics department is a sound and basic department and I enjoy being a part of it. 1. Learning the joys of cooking are Tim Johnson and Roger Hancock. 2. Ms. McLaughlin samples a meal prepared by students in Creative Foods. 3. Cheri Weekly helps children solve puzzles in Child's World. 30 Home Economics Students Gain Job Skills The business department was supervised by Mrs. Marjorie Hoffman, the only full-time business teacher this year. She now teaches two Business Lab classes. Shorthand, Beginning Typing, and Cruise. Her work is time consuming yet she still enjoys working with each individual student. She stated I spend a lot of time in preparation for all my classes. But the results are worth it when the students are able to walk into the business world with confidence. Her pleasant person- ality and helpfulness make her a favorite with all students. Miss Paula Songster also teaches a business class. She teaches a period of beginning typing in addition to her five PE classes. i •4 4 ► 1 Tracey Sheedy works on her stereotronics project in Business Lab 2.

Mr. Messersmith, the head librarian and computer instructor, resigned during the month of January. He became the high school librarian in Sweet Home, Oregon. This left Mrs. Dagit to keep the library in order. Mr. Buck was the substitute librarian. Computers are an important part of the library program. Students who are enrolled in computer science have learned to use the computers: an Apple II plus and three TSR - 80's. Students improve their computer skills by reading manuals and magazines. The librarians used the computer to update the library. The computer was programmed to print out card sets for books and filmstrips. Using the computer was much easier and faster than typing the card sets manually, according to Mrs. Dagit. The computer was also used to print address labels throughout the year. The labels were used to send report cards and other information to parents. The computer also made address labels for copies of the Myrtle Leaf that were mailed. The new Apple II plus computer let students write different programs. The new word processor program allowed students to type a report into the computer and correct mistakes in it before printing it. 1.

He, along with the other high school aids, work to give special assistance to students who need extra help. After work- ing in district 41 for nine years, Mr. Martindale comments, It's been a good year. I've enjoyed working here.” Another Myrtle Point High School aid is tutor Donna Fawcett. Her purpose is to help students in vocational classes with their regular work, as well as provide a study hall for those who need it. She teaches ten students per day, along with approximately twenty drop-ins. I always wanted to be a teacher and this is the closest I've come without going to college. I love my job! Elinor Bick, aided by Linda Smith, teaches reading. They work on a one to one basis at each student's level. Says Mrs. Smith enthusiastically of her job, I love it!! 1 Mrs. Linda Smith reviews the finished work of junior Devin Shrum. 2.

The newspaper won a first place in a national contest sponsored by the American Scholastic Press Association. The Myrtle Leaf was named third runnerup in overall quality by the Western Association of Scholastic School Publications which evaluated papers from schools of all sizes in six western states. Editor Linda Adams's editorial on Christmas decorations won first place in the WASSP Contest. Awarded Certificates of Excellence were Laura Larsen and Todd Parker for editorial writing and Steve Cooper for column writing. The students have worked to make the Myrtle Leaf an outstanding newspaper,” said Mrs. Kirk, advisor. “The biggest reward is knowing that people read the stories. 34 Myrtle Leaf New Staff Creates New Ideas New ideas developed as the staff and the new advisor, Mrs. Kirk, worked to create the '82 Bobcat. The staff maintained a three column layout style throughout the book. I'm proud that the book had uniformity even though it was difficult to do it sometimes, said Heidi Payne, editor. An innovation in the yearbook was the page identification printed at the bottom of every page. Another new feature was the student ad section. It let students leave a permanent message to someone special. Heidi commented, It was a lot of information for the yearbook staff members to learn in one year. They worked hard to do a good job and get it done on time. 1 Editor Heidi Payne helps lyndee Leibelt measure pictures for her layout on the administration. 2.

Yearbook 35 Sports Division 37 Cross Country Runners Excel The runners started slower than they thought they would, commented Coach Towne, but pushed on and became better than they ever expected. Even though illness struck at a bad time and caused the loss of many runners just before district they still reached their goal and made it to state. At district Andy Kore ran an exceptional race and captured the boys' district championship in a time of 16:17. At state they each ran their own personal best and brought home a fourth place trophy. The boys' team was led by seniors, Benny Stewart and Andy Kore. The girls were led by seniors, Nancy Barkley, Peggy Raymond and Debbie Burdick. They had an overall good season, even though they usually came up short one runner. By district the girls had found the extra runner to make the necessary team of five so they could compete. They brought home a fourth place trophy. Even with the fourth place finish they still would have been able to place in the top ten at state. They did not qualify because the competition in the Far West League is the toughest in the state. Because of hard work and dedication all the runners were able to have a very successful season. 1 Rick Ralph and Darren LaCasse come up a hill and start the second half of the race at Pacific. 2.

The defense gave up an average of 220 yards per game up to the Brookings game. Coach Baumer said that “with that kind of defense the team should have won at least 7 of the 9 games played. But the thing that kept the team to a 4 5 season instead of a 7 2 season was the team's weaknesses. Its weaknesses were the constant making of the same mistakes over and over again, and the inexperienced offense.” The offense had only one returning starting lineman and only two returning backs who had started the year before.

The biggest down was when the team got blown out by Siuslaw 38 to 0. Siuslaw ended the season with 12 wins, 1 tie, and no losses. The tie was in the state championship game against South Umpqua. There were other downs that the team had and those were the other losses this season: to Douglas by 8, Reed-sport by 12, Gold Beach by 8, and to Coquille by 10. Both Coach Baumer and Coach Peterson stated that the Coquille game was the most disappointing game all year. The team was mentally and physically ready for the game but, as they say, the breaks just didn't go our way. The biggest up was the win over Brookings. Brookings had usually started off its offense with a running play, but not this time. It opened its first drive with a pass play and scored. But that didn't bother the Bobcats. They got out and gave it all they had and ended up winning the game 14 to 12. The team had two other big wins this year beating Pleasant Hill 3 to 7 and Bandon 32 to 0. Coach Baumer made this statement to cover this year's football season: You win and lose by the breaks you create and we just didn't create the right breaks. Both coaches agreed that the offense was the main concern because the team lost all but one offensive starting back and an all-league tackle. The varsity Bobcats finished the season with a 4-5 record. The pldyers are (left to right) row 1: John Montgomery 88. Royce Hancock 20. George Mullenax 9, Tom Strassen-berg 32.

At the end of the season the girls were tied with Siuslaw for the league championship, with both teams posting 11-1 records with losses to each other. Coach Jodie Hajduk stated, Siuslaw was a surprise team. I expected the league to be tougher, especially Gold Beach and Brookings. To determine the number one and two representatives from the Far West League, the two teams met on a neutral court at Marshfield. The Cats came back from a first game loss to win the match and host the first round game of the state playoffs against North Valley. The Cats then defeated North Valley in two straight games and advanced to the state finals. The Bobcats then drew the last game of the evening against defending state champion, Gladstone. The Cats lost the first game, came back to take the second, but fell in the last game which put them in the consolation bracket. They then played Elmira and advanced to the consolation finals by defeating them in two straight 15-12 and 15-8. The Cats were matched against Marist in the finals. They fired up and took Marist in two straight games to win the AA state consolation championship. This was the first time a Myrtle Point volleyball team had won a state trophy and the second time in three years that they had won the league championship. Bobcat junior Maeora Barklow was named to the All State second team. The success of this team was because each individual worked hard and the team wanted to be successful, commented Coach Flajduk. The team had a positive mental attitude and a desire to win which enabled them to be successful. 1. At the Gold Beach game. Geri Hajduk sets the ball for a spiker. 2.

JV Team Improves The junior varsity volleyball team showed improvement throughout the season to post a 6-6 league record and 6-7 over-all record. The girls started out slowly, losing three of their first four games before coming on in the second half to improve their record. They came back and beat some of the teams which had beaten them earlier in the year. Coach Paula Sangster said, I think it was a good season. The girls cooperated very well throughout the whole season. There were so many girls on the JV team this year that they had to have split practices. This shows a lot of dedication because it meant having a group of girls practicing late. One group of girls practiced for the first 1 Vi hours after school and then the next group practiced for the next 1 V2 hours. Since there were so many girls out each one had less playing time in the games. One of my big goals, explained Coach Sangster, “was to let each girl have some playing time and I feel this was accomplished. Junior Varsity 47 Seven Place At District At the beginning of the season Coach Dyal was the only coach for 26 wrestlers. This was tough because he had practice at 7 in the morning and then another practice after school at 3:30. After a month of this he finally found an assistant coach, Leon Rayevich. He used to be one of Coach Dyal's wrestlers when he was in school. Coach Rayevich was going into the service so Coach Dyal began to look for another assistant coach. He found David Cag-ley who was also an old wrestler for Coach Dyal. Even though there were changes, The team was hard working and continued to improve throughout the season, said the coach. In the league they had only one win. This was against Co-quille. After that they had five losses. Each loss was just by one match. At their first tournament no one won more than one match. Then at district they had seven placers. Mike Watts placed sixth. Ken Green, Quinn Elder, Tim Mills and Tom Strassenberg placed fifth and Chancy Johnson placed fourth. The team had only one wrestler go to state. Bill Howell went in the 115 weight class. Bill also had the fastest pin which took only 10 seconds and was also named Most Inspirational at the awards banquet. Other awards were Co-Most Improved, Tim Miils and Ken Green; High Point Wrestler, Chancy Johnson; Co-Cap-tains, Quinn Elder and Tom Strassenberg. Out of the five tournaments that it attended the team won two including its own. This was the first time in ten years MPHS got to keep the trophy at home. Helping Mr. Dyal take stats were the Mat Maids. There were seven of them. Coach Dyal commented, They ran the tournament well and even continued to help throughout the post season in Kid Wrestling. The team and the Mat Maids worked well together r and because of this it was a 1 very successful season.

Wrestling 51 Lady Cats Make Playoffs The girls' basketball season started out with a different perspective under new head coach Paula Songster. Coach Songster introduced a new philosophy for the lady Cats. She experimented with players in new positions and new plays. Returning from last year's play-off team were Peggy Raymond, Lyndee Leibelt, Monique Craven, Maeora Barklow, and Geri Hajduk. Taking up the other five positions were Melanie Sturgill, Sari Spink, Julie Sykes, Karen Fullerton, and Angela Robertson. They struggled through the season with a 6-6 league record. The struggle paid off and they ended up in a play- off game against Brookings only to lose in overtime and send Brookings to the state tournament. “My first goal was to get to the play-offs, said Coach Paula Songster. “We played Brookings in the play-offs and lost, but it was a very close game and we could have won. “My second goal, if we made it to the play-offs, was that I wanted the girls to feel good about how they played whether they won or not; I wanted them to feel proud of how they played. Another goal of mine was to develop rapport with the girls. This was a challenge for me. I couldn't just step in as a new varsity coach and expect the girls to listen to all I had to say right away. It was something that I had to approach step by step. It was a challenge but I felt that by the end of the season, I had developed this rapport with most of the girls. “Another real important goal of mine was for the team to become a team that was an oriented team. I wanted the girls to think WE instead of just I. Teamwork is important. “I wanted the team members to believe in each other. My favorite saying is that team is spelled with an 'a' for 'all' instead of an ”i for 'individual'. 1 All-League center Maeora Barklow attempts a freethrow while Gerl Hajduk is in the back court 2 Monique Craven waits for play to start during an out-of-bounds play. 52 Girls' Varsity Basketball 1 ◄ 2 ► 1.

Consisting solely of freshmen and a couple sophomores, this team lacked the depth and experience needed on the team. The team's enthusiasm was the strongest quality that held the team together. Coach Jodie Hajduk stated. I enjoyed coaching the JV basketball team. The win-loss record is not indicative of the caliber of play exhibited by this young team. Junior varsity players were (front row) Lynn Harms, Traci Hooper, Dawnelle Pribble, Janet Dempsey, Pam Warren, (middle row) Julie Sykes, Sari Spink, Jodie Cooper, Karen Fullerton, Sheryl Ludwig, (back row) Coach Jodie Hajduk.

Going into the last game of the season Myrtle Point and Coquille were tied for second in the Far West League while Reedsport and Brookings were tied for first. Myrtle Point broke the league's second place tie by crushing its rival, Coquille, with a score of 65 to 59. Both Reedsport and Brookings won their last games of the season keeping them still tied for first. If the first place tie had been broken Myrtle Point would have been included in the playoff series that might have allowed the Bobcats to go to the state competition as second in the league. But only the top two teams, Reedsport and Brookings, were allowed into state. Myrtle Point's Bobcats barely missed state but finished third in the league.

Boys' Varsity Basketball 57 Young Team Shows Determination The varsity basketball team did an excellent job of maturing this season. It was a very young team. Five members of the team were juniors and one was a sophomore. The team was led by co-captains Randy Sturgill and James Fischer. Leo Iverson was head manager. Several players received special recognition. Co-captain Randy Sturgill was voted by his teammates as the co-most inspirational along with Tim Lakey. Tim Johnson and Kevin Pyatt were voted co-most improved. Three players were selected to the Far West League All Star team: Randy Sturgill, first team; Mike Fleming, and Tim Lakey, honorable mention. Randy was also selected to the fourth team, Oregon Journal All State Team. Coach Walker said, We had pride in our play, displayed a lot of heart in competing hard, had fun, and the team did make the transition to varsity competition. Finishing third in league and making a 15-4 win-loss record is positively respectable. This year's team was led by Randy Sturgill, said Coach Walker.

According to junior John Montgomery, The most exciting game was playing Co-quille the first time. We had to go down to the last second and won by two points. We played well as a team and it took our defense to beat them. The team was coached by Mr. Terry Egan. 1.

They had a lot of good runners in the sprints and in the long distance races. The Cats also had a successful field team. Four records were snapped this year. The first was the 400 meter relay. The record was broken three times. The record from 1981 was 44.42. The first time it was broken this year the time was 44.3, the second time was 44.1, and the third time was 43.9. The four people on this relay team were Tom Johnson, a junior, and Greg Harms, Rick Stevens, and Royce Hancock, seniors. The previous record from 1981 was held by Rick Stevens, Royce Hancock, Greg Harms, and Andy Gilbert. Two of the other three new records were set by senior Andy Kore. He broke the 1500 m. run and the 3000 m. run. The two previous records were both held by Stan Stewart. The old 1500 m. time was 4:00.9. The 3000 m. time was 8:59.1 and it's now 8:58.4. The high jump record was also broken in both 1981 and 1982. Tim Lakey, a junior. cleared the pole at 6'6 . That was 5 higher than the record Rick Roe set in 1981. 1.

Andy holds the record in the 1500m. run and 3000m. run. 66 Boys' Track Bobcats Tough At Every Meet The Cats went to a number of invitationals and meets this year. One of the main meets was the Douglas Relays, which the team has won four years in a row. This year the team won the meet by 46 points and took another trophy home to put in the case. Another important meet was the Coquille Invitational which was made up of twelve teams. The Cats took third behind two triple A schools. North Bend was first and Marshfield took second. The next meet was the Myrtle Point Rotary meet. The team clinched first place by 41 points. Then the runners traveled to the Portland area for the Gladstone Invitational, which is not a team meet but a personal meet. Gladstone is a meet of champions and the only way anyone can go to compete is if he has had a time or distance good enough to qualify. If it had been a team meet the Cats would have come in second. Eleven people went to Gladstone: Tom Johnson, Greg Harms, Royce Hancock, Rick Stevens, Andy Kore, Scott Flood, Tim Lakey, Brad Henshaw, Tim Johnson, Benny Stewart, and George Mul-lenax. The final two meets of the season were the district and state competitions.

Competing at district was like competing at state for the girls because Siuslaw placed second at state and Coquille and Reedsport were in the top 20 at state. The girls' track team had a new coach this year. Coach Kim Lassetter. The young team had only three seniors so the younger girls had a chance to do many events at the varsity level. The girls entered a variety of events to find where they could best compete. The high points of the season were winning second place at the Douglas Relays and sending six people to the Cascade Meet of Champions. At the spring awards banquet girls received special awards. The Most Improved awards went to Geri Hajduk and Debbie Burdick. Peggy Raymond received the Coach's Award and Lynn Geri Hajduk, (Row 3) Coach Lassetter, Jean Priest, Angela Robertson, Julie Sykes, Camille Denning, and Dawnelle Pribble. 2. Coach Lassetter points to the girls and explains how to run in the 1600 m. relay. Girls' Track 69 School Records Shattered Many athletic records were broken and broken big. The JV football team had an enormous team of 34 young athletes. A member of that team, sophomore Doug Curtis, broke a tackling record by crunching 24 ball carriers in a single game. Randy Sturgill broke his old basketball rebounding average of ten rebounds a game by pulling down twelve rebounds per game. Junior Maeora Barklow tied Teresa Miller's 1981 basketball field goal record by scoring 27 points against Bandon. This year's track team went wild and broke four records. Three of the new records came at the state track meet. Junior Tom Johnson and seniors Greg Harms, Rick Stevens, and Royce Hancock broke the 400 meter relay time of 44.4 several times this year. They ran a 44.1 to take first at the district track meet and raced a smoking 43.9 at the state track meet for a second place finish. Junior Tim Lakey soared 6'6 in the high jump to break the old school record of 6'2 set by Rick Roe in 1981. Tim placed third with his record breaking jump at the state meet. The final two new track records were set by a phenomenal senior runner, Andy Kore. Andy broke the 1500 and 3000 meter record of 8:59.1 set by Stan Stewart in 1977 with a time of 8:58.4. He also broke Stan Stewart's 1500 meter record by almost five seconds running a 3:58.7 at the Prefontaine Classic Developmental Meet in Portland and placing second with that time. Andy also ran a 4:00.9 1500 meter at the state track meet and clinched third place. ’ 70 School Records 1 Senior Andy Kore runs in the 3000 meter race at state. He didn't place because of his outstanding effort in the 1500 m. In the 1500 Andy took third behind Gladstone's Toby Cook and Ken Wake. Toby Cook is ranked third in the nation. 2. Junior Maeora Barklow tied Teresa Miller's scoring record by scoring 27 points against Bandon. 3. After pulling down another rebound senior Randy Sturgill goes back up with it for 2 points on the Bobcats' home court. 4 At the state track meet junior Tim Lakey took third place with a school record jump of 6'6 In this picture he clears 6'2 easily and ties the school record set by Rick Roe in 1981. 5.

The Cats set their final record in this race clocking 43:9 to surpass the old school record by over half a second. School Records 71 Cheerleaders Promote Spirit The varsity rally this year consisted of six juniors. They were Sara Baker, Kim Barzee, Karen Dempsey, Cheryl Price, Laura Larsen, and captain Tracy Ames. They raised money for their uniforms during the summer by having a booth at the county fair where they sold Pepsi, and chocolate covered bananas. They also did yard work and held car washes. Captain Tracy Ames commented, “We had a great 1. Those in the JV rally are Kathy Harris, Denise Davis, Lisa Elder, and Sharyl Kirsch. 2.

The Dancesations entered competitions for the first time. The team participated at Stayton and at the State Competition which was held at Marshfield High School in Coos Bay. The team was led by Captain Paula Langehennig and advisor Mrs. Neena Summers. Mrs. Barbara Galloway also helped out when the Dancesations competed. Captain Paula Langehennig summed up the year: The year started off rather slowly. We strived to make state competition and we did. We didn't win a trophy but we had a lot of fun trying. Dance Team 73 Faces Faces Division 75 Principals Set Goals The year started with practically a whole new administration. Bill Starnes moved up from the junior high while Tom Howard took over as the new vice-principal. This year Mr. Starnes' main goal was to establish a positive rapport with students and staff that would create a situation where they would be the most productive. “Another goal was to provide more help for the struggling student and to meet the educational needs of the high achiever and. thus, cutting down on our drop-out rate at the high school, he said. “My goal was to establish a fair and consistent discipline policy, which included improving attendance procedures, stated Mr. Howard. “The working relationship between staff and students was the best I've seen in five years, and I hope it continues to get better. I think we're very fortunate to have such a neat school and community to live and work in, he said. 1 Mr. Starnes is the new principal. He replaced Mr. Roe who is now the district's ad-ministrative dssistant. 2 Mr. Howard, vice-principal and athletic director, works hard writing out forms. 76 Administration Board Imposes Budget Cuts This year school board members had the problem of handling cut backs in the school budget. Suggestions for cutting out sports, new uniforms, and equipment were brought up. As the public's representatives, the members have three major obligations: 1) they must provide the finest program of education possible for children in the community; 2) they must act responsibly in providing this education by budgeting and expending all available funds cautiously and wisely; and 3) they must realize and understand the changes that occur in the economic and social lifestyles in the community in order to work with the administration, school staff, and citizens in providing an educational program that meets the needs of the district. Therefore, the Board is the district's policy maker, the public's representative; public employer; and the community's educational leader. 1.

Board members Forest Easton and Beverly Ingram listen to the discussion from the audience Other members of the board were James Dupuis. Bruce Shull. Barbara Galloway.

Their biggest task was finding ways to trim the budget to meet declining revenues caused by the reduced timber harvest. 3. Board members James Dupuis, chairman, and Forest Easton discuss moving the eighth graders to the high school. School Board 77 Twenty Years Of Waiting Pays Twenty years of waiting finally paid off when the cafeteria was handed a grant of $30,000. With this and $10,000 from the school, new kitchen equipment was installed. This included flooring, stoves, an ice machine and a new serving line. A new system of bookkeeping was also adopted. Instead of buying tickets that were frequently lost, names were taken when the lunches were received. This kept students with free or reduced lunches from sharing their tickets. Along with doing the cafeteria work, the staff repaired the building after the November storms. The high winds and rain caused considerable dam- age to both Mr. Gary's and Mr. Towne's rooms. Included on the repair list were the roof, walls, floors, heaters, and an electric motor. People involved in the repair were Frank Furman, Le-Roy Flanders, Cicero Stidham, Bob Peterson, Dick Proffitt, James Shelton, K.D. Neil and Doug-Co. Roofing. 78 Classified Staff 1.

Scott MacCluer took over for Mr. Lovell and joined Mrs. Jodie Hajduk in the counseling department. Mr. MacCluer and Mrs. Hajduk worked closely together to develop a counseling philosophy that best met the needs of the student body. Emphasis was placed on class choices. It was important that students understand the curriculum and make choices to their advantage. Mrs. Hajduk stated, Effectively meeting the needs of the students has been the number one priority with the counseling department this year. In addition, we have worked closely with the administration in curriculum planning. Next year we hope that we will see a continued growth on the students' part in making intelligent choices regarding their lives. 1 Mr. MacCluer, counselor at MPHS. converses with the school librarian.

Seniors Seniors Head Downtown Thirty-five seniors participated in the work experience program this year. The program was devised for students to learn the basic job skills necessary to be successful in the world of work. It also helps them to focus on possible career choices. Mr. Mac-Cluer commented, Work experience is an introduction into the working world. It gives seniors the opportunity to meet people, learn to get along with the boss, and learn responsibility. I consider it a very beneficial program. 88 Seniors For Work Experience 1. Carolyn Sheldahl adds duplicator fluid to the ditto machine at Maple Primary. 2.

The competency test measured reading, writing, speaking, and spelling skills. This year juniors took the test also. The reading and math tests measured basic skills. To show spelling competence students spelled 50 words with 70 percent accuracy. Oral communication skills were measured by a speech. Students were required to speak for three to five minutes. They were evaluated on content, poise, and eye contact. The writing test had two options. Students could write essays or complete a business writing option. 1 During the ten minute preparation time before taking their oral competency tests Rick Stevens and Robbie Little make notes 2.

But the juniors didn't let that stand in their way. What money can't buy, eagerness can find. And that's just what the juniors did, with plenty of smiles and lots of get-up-and-go. Many juniors ranked highly in individual categories. The Class of 1983 will definitely have a special place in time.

With the memories of their freshman year pushed to the back of their minds, the sophomores were ready for the glories and failures of the second year at Myrtle Point High School. What is it that makes this class different from the others attending MPHS? To help find the answer to this question, a few sophomores and teachers were asked their opinions. We do what we want,” explained Brenda Combs, who has been president of the class for the last two years. We're original.” Looking at the class from an adult's point of view, Mr. How- ard commented, They seem to have a stronger central core of leaders. They aren't procrastinators. Shelly Thompson believes that they are able to enjoy themselves. Being able to have fun is something that is getting rare with the other classes. 102 Sophomores 1 2 1 Karen Fullerton hesitates before taking the last step into the sophomore hall 2 Greg Martinka, Brice Sykes, and Rod Sams show their friendly sides 3 Working diligently on their Health assignment are Kelley Locker, John Barnard, Scott Flood, and Danny Whittaker. Sophomores 103 Combs Leads Class Under the leadership of Brenda Combs, the Class of '84 was able to enter high school and complete two years without a scratch. Helping Brenda make the sophomore year a success were the rest of the class officers. These included Scott Flood, Vice President; Wendy Hoover, Secretary; Troy Gul-strom, Treasurer; and Doug Curtis, Sergeant at Arms. The sophomores gained praise and respect, as their eagerness and spirit filled the halls. According to Mr. Art Denning, math teacher, It is the liveliest class in school this year. With their enthusiasm for learning, the sophomores are nice students to work with.” One of the goals that Brenda set was to raise more money. If we raise enough money, she explained, we will have some left over from the Junior Prom that we could use for our own benefit. To raise this money, the students organized a number of activities. One was the Winter Ball which was a big success and gained them a reputation as hard workers and good planners. Wendy Hoover, also a sophomore, was crowned Winter Queen. i 1 A few injuries can t stop Lisa Elder and Nile Johnson who were only two of the many wounded this year. 2.

They turn their volume up on each new assignment and turn it down at lunch. It begins to rise again in sixth period. By the end of seventh period their volume begins to weaken, but that doesn't stop the freshmen. As seventh period rushes to an end the freshmen burst out of their classrooms. They race to their lockers, quickly grab their books, slam their locker doors shut, and run out of the school. This stampede lets the rest of the school know that it is 3:25.

By the end of the first semester the team had earned more trophies than it had all during the year before. The members did something different this year.

When asked to sum up the year, Coach Gary commented, Several individuals had outstanding experiences this year. More trophies were earned this year than ever before. Tournaments attended were Rogue Community College Invitational, Medford Mid-Hi tournament. Southern Oregon State College Invitational, University of Oregon Bower Aly Memorial, District (at Marshfield High School), and the state tournament at University of Oregon. The speakers' interest level and intensity was clearly demonstrated when they attended the U of O Bower Aly Memorial and paid their own way. It was a very good year, the kind that makes you look forward to the next. 1.

Another aim of the group is to pray for the needs of the school, community, country, and world. The third desire the members share is to know and understand the love of God and to draw closer to his son, Jesus Christ. The club, which meets weekly, often has guest speakers at meetings. Some speakers have been pastors of local churches. At other meetings the members study the Bible. One of the projects of the Christian Youth Club is to give money to help hungry children in Africa.
