WARRIOR OAKRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL OAK R11 )GE, OREGON 97463 Student Government Undergoes Change This year’s student government consisted of 24 students. Officers were: President, Chris Hendrick- son; Vice-President, Dianna Jackson; Secretary, Lisa Henry; and Treasurer, Joy Gardner. The council’s goals (set at the beginning of the year) were- (1) construction of the student park, (2) installation of more radio equipment for KOHS, (3) a potluck for senior citizens, (4) the building of another bench in the hallway, and (5) having more assemblies. An Emerald League student council was formed to improve relations between Emerald League schools in other areas besides sports activities. Plans were made during the year for a change in the makeup of school government. A.

Almost everything was the same as the year before, some went to the gym to play games, some went to the cafeteria for the study hall, some went to different meetings for organizations and some went to a different class. New activity period classes included dance team, stain glass construction, fly tying, computer club, stitchery, and forestry club. A J Lee Shingleton works during activity period on a wood shop project. B A mural of a horse painted on the wall in the art room. C. Mark Beamer works hard on making a fly in fly tying. D Diane Theriault sands on her cutting board In activity period. Assembly Audiences Witness Nothing New This year a small variety of assemblies were presented. Pep assemblies were held to get the student’s spirits up before each varsity home game. The school song always started off the pep assemblies and were followed by class competition and skits that the rally girls or some of the students made up. The rally usually did one of their dance routines. A special question-and-answer assembly was held in which the students had a chance to ask a panel of people any question they had pretaining to the school. The panel consisted of the superintendent Mr. Carver, the principal Mr. Tipton, vice-principal Mr. Hunsaker, the student body president Chris Hendrickson, vice-president Diana Jackson, moderator Scott Johnson, one of the teachers, Mr. Hampton, and a member of the school board, Mrs. Evelyn Hendrickson. Evening awards assemblies followed each sport season. A. Andy Clark gets a rise out of the students as he asks his question. B. Freshmen Lori Shroy, Renee Bowles, Jan Huckins and Jackie Keller support their class in the class yelling competition. C. Diana Jackson and Chris Hendrickson listen with interest to the question being asked. D. The panel listens to the question while Mr. Tipton rests. Varied Activities Highlight This year’s spirit week for homecoming had more participants than last year’s. It was the week of Oi t 18 22. The activities were as follows: (1) Monday was “Colors Day’’ when the seniors wore blue, the juniors wore green, sophomores wore red, and the freshmen wore yellow. The noon activity was a three-ring circus with a three-legged race, hula-hoop contest, and handstanding contest. (2) Tuesday was “Bum Day when everyone dressed like bums. The noon activity that day was a care pile-in and we used Terry Kreb’s car. (3) Wednesday was ‘Hat and Tie Day when one could have seen just about every kind of hat in existance. The noon activity for Wednesday was a banaeating contest. (4) Thursday was “P. E. Day when everybody wore his or her P.E. clothes. At noon there was a football freethrow. (5) Friday was “No Paper Day when neither the teachers nor the students could use paper. A. It was a close one folks, but Brock Clifford pulled ahead of Gregg Savare and won the banana eating contest for the Sophomores. B. Jim Tipton devoures his banana only to come in second place behind Brock Clifford. C. Well these three '•bums'' really think they are ‘cool chicks”, but what they don’t know won't hurt them D.

Tammy Lee and Mike Board catch the eye of the camera at the Homecoming Dance. C. Shane Henry hits the ball as Greg Barstad watches. D. Pam Henderson enjoys dancing to the music. This year’s dances and funnights were more enjoyable than last year's. More people were seen dancing at both activities. The student body and some of the clubs of OHS did a good job of planning and organizing these activities. Besides dancing at funnights, the gym was open for playing volleyball or basketball. The ping-pong tables were set up in the hall for anyone who wanted to do that. Refreshments were also provided. The funnights were held in the auditorium. 0 A.

Homecoming 1976 The homecoming court consisted of five seniors: Lori Watson, Julie Stout, Sheryl Stone, Geri Gonet, and Queen Kathy Greathouse. President of the student body, Chris Hendrickson, was elected Mr. Touchdown for 1976. After Diana Jackson crowned Queen Kathy and awarded Chris his football, the Warriors went on to defeat the Pleasant Hill Billies 24-6. The band that played at the dance was Phoenix. Everyone enjoyed this music and danced the night away. A. Gary Rose smiles as he blocks for himself and moves the ball down the field. B Queen Kathy Greathouse and her. escort Dan DeHaven. C.

This school year of nineteen seventy-six and seventy-seven was the year the seniors and the juniors battled for a victory win. Last year, the juniors defeated the seniors with a score of 8 to 6. This year’s score was seniors 6, juniors, 0. The game was close both teams pushing each other up and down the field. The seniors scored on the first play from scrimmage. Senior coaches were Chris Hendrickson and Tom Tirrill. Junior coaches were Steve Knudsen, Gary Rose and Jim Tipton. nnouncer was Garth Skarr, who did a marvelous job. And we all give special thanks to Kent Hunsaker and Wes Owens, for refereeing the game. The evening was one many won’t forget, '•specially the undefeated class of nineteen seventy-seven. A.

The 1976 football season was a very trying year. The spectators enjoyed our new covered grand- stands (even though it never rained once during a home football game). The team started out with three exciting victories in a row. After that it was a battle to see who could stay at the top of the Emerald League. But the Warriors didn’t go totally downhill. They came back after losing two to win two more. Unfortunately, the team ended the season with two more losses, making it a 5-4 season.

Football team had a moderately successful season. The team showed glimpses of talent which will prove to be helpful to next year’s Varsity team. Sophomores made up most of the J.V. team, and with a little more experience and practice, they can excel in the future. Coach Holly did a good job coaching the J.V.’s this year but will be coaching freshmen in 1977-78. Game Oakridge Opponent Elmira 14 40 Springfield 00 14 Philomath 22 32 J.

They worked out every night after school and sometimes on weekends. Both teams traveled to Gilchrist, Cannyonville, and Glide, with the girls taking home the first place trophy from Canyonville and both teams bringing back individual ribbons from the meets. The girls ran away with a 7-0 season as they have in the last two years taking the title of the Emerald League for the third year in a row. The girls picked up a first place in district which sent them to state for the third year in a row also.They placed fifth in state trailing just one point from fourth place and four points from a third place trophy. The boys also had a good season ending it with a 5-2 record placing third in the Emerald League (just missing going to state by a few points). J. Lee Shingleton, Susan Leavitt, and Diane Theriault all made the Emerald League Team, with Diane making it for two years and Susan for three. Next year will be a tough one as we are changing our league. The girls will be losing four outstanding seniors which will be a great loss to the team. The boys should have a good season as they are only losing one senior. All together it has been a very good season and will be again. A. Varsity Teams from left to right. Front Row: Marie Theriault.

At the beginning of the season quite a few girls made up the team, but as the year progressed, the participants thinned out. The biggest reason for this lack of participation was the powderpuff football game. Most of the junior and senior girls quit volleyball in order to play in the pow derpuff game. They had a choice of playing in one or the other, and most chose powderpuff. With almost all of the juniors and seniors gone, the team still did reasonably well. The varsity team had 10 wins and 32 losses. The JV-1 team had 17 wins with 25 losses. The JV-2 team (back row) • Christine Campbell. Peggy Hopwooa. Susan Hunsaker.

Both teams started out with quite a few members but ended up with only three on the J.V. team. The Vanity, was made up of about three members from each class and one from the freshman class. Next year the team will need many more people out for the sport because it is losing its senior players. With a little luck and plenty of practice, the team should be pretty good next year. 1.

Keith Tiller, 115 lbs., and Rick Slaven, 157 lbs., both placed second in the district meet and were later knocked out in the consolation round at the state tournament held at Willamette High School. The team this year as a whole didn’t do exceeding well (not winning any league matches) but taking either first or second in every invitational tournament that they entered. Next year the team will be minus seven of this year’s seniors plus the head coach, a fact which may really hurt, but the remaining team members are looking forward to an exciting season next year.

Oakridge did manage to beat Philomath in first-round playoff action before being easily eliminated from tournament play by Marist. Creswell accompanied Marist to the State AA Basketball Tournament. Outstanding players this year for Oakridge included senior guards Tom Tirrill and Chris Hendrickson and junior center Steve Knudsen. These three received all-league honors. 24 Boys Varsity Basketball 1. Tom Tirrill goes up for a lay in. 2. The varsity team in defensive action. 3.

They beat 5 of 7 league teams they played. They played well at times but did not play consistently. The Varsity team lost a lot of players after gradua- tion, so many of the J.V. team members will be on Varsity next year. 2 1. Dane Hendrickson shoots a free throw. 2.

Girls who participated in rally this year were required not to participate in a sport or hold a job while being a rally member. For the first time in five years OHS formed a dance team. Members were required to attend practice sessions which were held twice weekly. Marcia LaDuke advised this group. 1. Debbie Neptune instructs a couple of rookie dance team members (Darrell Gilbert.

Many of the track team members were freshmen and sopho- mores. Oakridge’s chances for a large district team score were not too good entering district competition, the team having compiled a season record of 1 win and 7 losses. Rick Webb placed first in the triple jump in district competition. This feat qualified him for the state meet. Rick did not place at the state meet. This year the coaching assignments were changed so that all three coaches coached both boys and girls track. Assignments were as follows: Herb Henry, field events: Chuck Svendsen, sprints and hurdles: and Ron Hebert, 440 yard run-two mile run. 1977 boys track team members (left to right): Kandy Queen.

Playing at such courses as Tokatee, Emerald Valley, Sutherlin Knolls, Rogue Valley Country Club, and Ken- tuck, the team placed second in the Emerald League. Of the eight members out for golf only two had pre- vious experience in team play. The team placed third out of nine teams at the 5-6, A-AA district tournament held at Rogue Valley Country Club in Medford. The overall OHS team score was 364, eight strokes behind the second place team. The top two teams. Marist and St. Mary's, went on to the state tournament. 1.

The team as a whole did not do very well in regu- lar season play, only winning two of 11 dual matches. Singles players Linda Wilkinson and Mary Lopez had the best regular season records. At the district tourna- ment Oakridge ended up 8th of 13 schools scoring 5 points. This team point total was the largest of any girls team which had competed in the last ten years. Ail girls on the team went as doubles partners in district play even though they might have played only singles dur- ing the season. The partners for district were Tina Tirrill and Holly Hendrickson, Lora Prouty and Linda Wilkinson (both winning two matches). Mary Lopez and Susan Stafford won one match, while freshmen Mindy Stafford and Helen Jean Helikson lost their first round match. Next year the team will need to recruit five new players as five girls are either graduating or moving at the end of this school year. Front row left to right: Tina Tirrill. Linda Wilkinson.

Some of his accomplsh- ments so far have been: 1. Projects underway to develop language arts, mathematics, and science curricula, 2. Establishment of elementary counsel- ing program, 3. New federal fund program, 4. Closed campus to regulate outside influence, and 5. Supervision of the construction of the new high school addition. Dr. Carver’s basic district goal was to devleop the best academic and vocational programs possible in Oakridge and to recruit the best staff available to implement the programs. Another goal was to help all students develop their rates of learning to the point that we no longer need remedial programs. Mr. Tipton, OHS Principal and Mr. Hunsaker OHS Vice-principal have accomplished several things this year including: 1. Formulation of a new attendance policy, 2. Better budgeting procedures for staff and office, 3. Improved student pre-enrollment procedures, 4. Development of new counselor activities, 5. The meeting of state requirements for graduation and competencies, 6. Creation of new career clusters (wood products and improvement of construction class). Some of the goals that Mr. Tipton and Mr. Hunsaker made for future years here at OHS are 1. Adoption of new schedule, 2. Development of a writing class for college bound students, 3. Continuation of curriculum modifications and Evaluation of graduation requirements. This year was the last for Mr. Hunsaker as OHS Vice-principal. He will become the principal of the Pleasant Hill Junior High School. r tnetpol 'UMItom Tipton Qlice - pAinctp at 3(en t 3)u n so b e a 78 Administration Gerald Corderman B.S. (Westmont College) M.S.

Four different teachers taught in this area. These teachers and their classes included: Mr. Corderman, Chemistry 1 and 2 and physical science: Mr. Holly, physical science and physics; Mr. Owens, BSCS, applied science, general science, and biology; and Mr. Eggink, general science, earth science, and applied science. All students were required to take at least one year or two semesters of science to grad- uate. This year's program was quite different from last year’s. Two of the science classes were team taught (which has never been done before at OHS). Mr. Corderman and Mr. Holly team taught physical science while Mr. Eggink and Mr. Owens team taught applied science. Also, many field trips were taken such as Mr. Eggink’s earth science class going up the North Fork to study rock formations and erosion. Mr. Corderman took his Chemistry 2 and his physics class to visit the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. Mr. Owens took all of his biology classes to the coast on a field trip to study marine life in the tidal zone. 1. Mr. Owens' class runs up and down the bleachers to test their heart rates. 2.

Social Studies Classes A variety of courses were offered by the social studies department. Senior citizenship and U.S. Inter- national Relations were taught by Chuck Svendsen. World geography. American history, and junior citi- zenship were taught by Ron Hebert. Black Indian history, world geography, and advanced geography were taught by Katherine Redmond. Seniors were required to take a semester of senior citizenship. The classes had a few field trips including one to the State Capitol and another to the courthouse in Eugene. Juniors were required to take a semester of junior citizenship. They studied the Constitution and govern- ment. Sophomores were required to take a semester of American history. Freshmen were required to take a semester of world geography. 1. Monty Kennard locates a place on the map in Mrs. Redmond's world geography class. 2.

Social Studies 93 English Department Offers Variety of Classes Teachers in the English Department included Keith Putnam (English II, Speech, mini-classes). Bill Mandis (Basic English I, Basic English II, Drama, mini-classes), Don Hampton (English I, Annual, Journalism, mini-classes), and Kathy Randall (English I, mini-classes). This school year was Mr. Putnam's last year as a teacher. Freshmen were required to take either English I, Basic English I, or English Lab; Sophomores were required to take either English II, Basic English II, or English Lab. Juniors and Seniors could elect to take any of thirty-two nine-week English classes, ranging in content from Workingman’s English to Philosophy and Logic.” 1.

English 95 Health Program Expands Curriculum Ron Townsend taught health for his second year. This was the third year health has been offered at OHS. One year of health is required before graduation. The freshmen and juniors were required to take half a year, each year. This year was the first year juniors were re- quired to take health. The juniors did some very interesting experiments concerning smoking. They used smoking machines to check the dangers of smoking, and they also observed other students smoking and recorded changes in their heart rates. Freshment students were able to do experiments on the typing of blood. Each student was given the oppor- tunity to find out what type of blood he or she has. Many students suffered through the anguish of having their fingers lanced, so that a drop or two of blood could be used. Irregardless of what some students may have thought at the time, everyone survived the experience, and they now know what type of blood flows through their bodies. 96 Health Educacioh Del Mundo Hispano (Education of the Spanish World) Ms. Randall taught Spanish 1. II, and III. Students learned how to speak the language and put the words in order. In Spanish classes, students not only worked hard learning the language, but also did some crazy things - like dancing, singing and cooking. Mr. Randall was also in charge of the Spanish club. The Spanish club earned money in many different ways in preparation for a 1978 summer trip to Mexico. If everybody in Spanish club goes to Mexico, members will have to earn much more money. Spanish I class studied basic language skills through vocabulary study, conversation, film, games and tapes. Spanish culture is explored through films, dances, cooking and reading. Spanish II and III classes continued in depth the work begun in Spanish I with emphasis on the more advance language tools needed to speak easily. 1 Cheryl Songer works on a worksheet while in a comfortable position. 2.

Spanish 97 Students Learn Individual Physical education was taught to two different sections - ninth and tenth grade classes, and junior- senior classes. Freshmen and sophomore classes learned team sports and participation such as flag football, volleyball, basketball, and softball. They also learned self defense and had physical fitness testing. Individual sports such as tennis, golf, fencing and archery were taught to the upperclassmen. They also learned team sports just as the freshmen and sophomore classes did. Hopefully, flickerball will be offered next year. 1. Fatty Russell tries to flip Trina Dark. 2. Lena Snyder demonstrates some self-defense techniques to freshman and sophomore girls. 3.

All were taught by Mr. Koch, while Mr. White taught just Wood I. Wood Shop I was for the beginner. Most of the students’ time was spent on assigned projects. Wood Shop U was a more advanced shop class where students created most of their own projects. One third of the students in wood shop classes this year were girls. The students seemed more involved in their work this year and made bigger and better projects. I. Owavri Hager works hard sanding his project. t' k«nC ma inK a lx)vvl n the wood lathe, •i.

The classes that he taught were Metal Shop I, Metal Shop D, and household maintenance. Metal Shop 1 taught beginners the basics of metal- working while Metal Shop II was designed for the more advanced metal workers. Household maintenance, a new class this year, involved learning how to repair and examine the way things around the house work. 1. Rita Rardin and Mr. Stansbury putty a window in household maintenance class. 2. Bocki Donley drills through metal. 3. Jack Skordahl shows how one should weld. 4.

Classes weren’t as big in advanced drafting, but basic drafting classes were bigger than ever. The basic drafting classes worked on pictorial drawings and assembly drawings. Structural drafting placed fifth in the state bridge-building contest. Students also did some work on house construction. The civil drafting classes drew a map of Oakridge during the first part of the year and also spent some time surveying. In the independent study class students worked on individual projects. Ken Farrier built a model of the North Umpqua River bridge. He also built a model of the student park that was built between the two halls. Alan Bounds made a drawing for the new fire station. Drawings that were deteriorating were redrawn. These were drawings of the underground plumbing at the high school and junior high. 1 1. Bobby Johnson works hard on a drawing in basic drafting. 2. Mr. White helps Van Johnson with drafting project. 3. Jerry Allen and Mark Hager use the Bridge Crusher to see how strong a bridge 102 Drafting 3 Forest Products was a new class offered to OHS stu- dents and taught by Dave Hartzell. In this class students learned (1) safety, (2) tree i- dentification, (3) care of equipment, (4) on the job train- ing, (5) heavy equipment operation, (6) cruizing, and (7) fire control. After these were studied, the class went into the woods for on-the job training. Many commun- ity people cooperated concerning use of their equip- ment and land, a fact which made it easier for the young loggers to learn. Later on in the year they had a chance to attend a logging convention which was held in Eugene. Also, the class entered the annual district logging compe- tition where the OHS loggers did very well placing 2nd in overall competition. .1.

Instead of just sitting in the classroom painting and drawing all year, Joel Weinstein (class instructor) moved his students out of the art room and into other areas of the school where they made many attractive murals in the halls, on the bathroom doors and in different classrooms. These activities helped to get the students enthusiastic enough to want to work hard on their projects, both in and out of the art room. Basic Art was a semester class required before any further Advanced Art classes could be taken. It mainly consisted of the learning of basic drawing skills, picture composition and the principles of design. After having had Basic Art, many different art classes could be chosen, including Photography and Lettering, Ceramics, Drawing, Watercoloring, Printmaking, Painting, Sculpture and Textiles (each of these being nine-week courses). Advanced Art was a semester class, which offered students with a genuine interest in art and an opportunity to work on independent projects of their choice. I 1 1.

Students were offered a variety of home economics classes this year. Students wishing to take a full year home ec. course could elect to take Home Economics I, U, III, or IV. Students wishing only a semester of home ec. could take special or beginning sewing, and boys could elect to take bachelor survival. Instructor Martha Hockman left at the end of the first semester on maternity leave. Some of the home ec. classes had surprise parties and showers for her before she left. Carla Owens, former OHS home ec. teacher, took over the home ec. program for the remainder of the year. 109 Drama Class Presents Two Great Performances 1.

The first of the two dramatic performances was Cheaper by the Dozen, a two act play about a family with a very old-fashioned head of the household. The production paid for itself with about 500 viewers attending. The second performance was the musical Oliver, based on Charles Dicken’s Oliver Twist. It also was a hit. Bill Mandis, OHS drama director, was in charge of both dramatic productions. For Oliver he enlisted the aid of some 5th and 6th grade students, as well as that of Ron Smith, OHS music director, and a select group of high school musicians. The set and costuming were quite elaborate for a high school play, and this, along with the talent, attracted over 1000 viewers. Drama 111 Special Reading was a class designed to help stu- dents with the basic skills of writing and reading. The students worked on oral reading skills, sounds and comprehension skills, and spelling rules. They also worked with newspapers and used spelling and reading games to aid their learning. Mrs. LaDuke and Mrs. Faught enjoyed working with the students because it gave students who have been unsuccessful in other classes a chance to be successful. 1. Becky Hopkins relaxes as she reads her book. 2. Aid Gloria Faught goes over student papers. 3. Teacher Marcia LaDuke having one of those days! 4.

To be in the class one had to be at least a sopho- more. The class began with thirty hours (about seven weeks) of classroom study. This part of the course in- cluded reading books, watching films, studying parts of a car, and learning the basic driving rules. After the thirty hours were completed, class members began to drive. (Each student driving had to have a permit.) Mr. Svendsen broke each class into groups of three. In each class every week a group would drive, each student driving for about 15 minutes. Altogether, each student practiced ten hours of driving. This year the class drove in a 1977 beige Chevrolet Nova, a “loan- er” from Bolin Chevrolet. While Mr. Svendsen and three of his students were driving the rest of his students had the choice of attend- ing several classes. They could choose any class out of their schedule and with the teacher's approval, could go into the class and work. Resource Room Caters to Individual Needs Teacher Mr. Salter and teacher-aid Mr. Scott enjoyed teaching the Resource Room students because All stu- dents need to receive as complete an education as possible. Some students cannot fit into the regular pro- gram. Some of the areas in which the students worked were math, reading, English, vocational education, health, and personal and social awareness. The biggest change which Mr. Salter would like to see implemented is more non-prejudicial behavior from the other students and participation in Resource Room activities by advanced students who are interested in being teaching assistants. Also, he'd like to see more regular classes accepting special students. 1. Mr. Salter talks with Tammy Richardson about the Resource Room. 2. Kddie Gilkmson is hard at work on an assignment. 3. Kevin Bums surprised by the camera. 114 Resource Room Library: A Place to Read and Study 1 Mr Morris stamps library cards. 2 Teresa Martsolf looks up from her reading long enough to pose for the camera 3.

The students needed this extra hour so that they would have more time to finish their projects. Students were required to make a tool box first, and then the class worked on group projects. Some of these projects included building a porch and pouring cement for the steps of the district office. Cement was also poured by this class for a sidewalk from the locker rooms to the new track. Cabinets were built for storage in the wood shop room, and shades were built in front of the window over-looking the hall benches. The only requirement for this class is to have completed a year of wood shop I. This class helped to prepare young people who would possibly choose a phase of construction for a career. 1. Rip Anderson and Andy Pettigrew level cement around bricks laved for the student park. 2. Karl Tiller spreads cement around rigorously 116 Construction 1. Mr. Koch shows his class how to use a transit. 2. Steve Thews works promptly on porch of District Of- fice. 3. Rick Russell and Nick Siecinski lay in forms. 4.

Construction 117 Business Students Gain Knowledge Business education classes this year consisted ol typing, office practice, bookkeeping, recordkeeping, accounting, and office simulation. Classes were taught by Garth Skaar and Susan Spain. This was Mrs. Spain's first year at OHS. She also headed the diversified occupations program, which allowed students to go out and gain experience by actually working at a community business. The typing classes were divided into two levels— Typing I was designed for beginners, and they learned the keyboard and basic rules. In the Typing D classes students learned to improve their speed and accuracy. The office practice classes taught entry-level skills such as filing, business machines, duplicating, and data processing. The bookkeeping and accounting students learned to use a set of books for a business, ranging from a simple business to a corporation. Recordkeeping focused on learning how to keep personal and business records. Office simulation was a class in which a group of students not only learned how to but actually ran a make-believe business. They learned how to succeed in a business and experienced office surroundings. 1. Mrs. Spain takes some of her business students to visit Lane County business offices. 2. Susan Stafford and Margie Roach keep busy in shorthand class. 3. Julie Stout works at Postal Pharmacy for her D.O. experience. 4. Lanae Kobare folds clothes as part of her D.O.job at Denim-N-Lace. 5. Pat Eshaia completes a typing assignment. 6. Tammy Lee teaches at the Oakridge Christian School to earn her D.O. credits. 118 Business Both in School and in the Community D.

Looking through old annuals for some ideas are Vicki Kennard and Tracy Agee. 3. Steve Harrington (yearbook company rep.) helps Holly Hendrickson and Kathy Cook with a layout. 4. Sheryl Stone reads over the body copy which she has'just written. 5. Brenda Collins. Sabrina Marlines and Margie McGuire look at an interesting layout in an old annual. Don Hampton, this year’s annual advisor, had decided on several top priorities for this yearbook. Greatest emphasis this year was placed on advertising. More ads were sold this year than ever before, with a greater emphasis being placed on ad layout and design. A second priority was to give the 77 WARRIOR a new look. Several changes were made in its appear- ance, including the cover, color and embossing, number of pages in full color, end sheet content and color, ad placement and ad content. A third priority was the publishing of a technically perfect yearbook. Grammatical and typographical errors were kept at a minimum. A fourth priority was to make certain that every person directly involved in activities at OHS would have his or her picture included somewhere in this annual. 120 Annual Journalism Class Produces District 76 News i This year’s journalism class started out with fourteen students. Throughout the year a few students were added and a few dropped, and the class ended up with sixteen students. All of the students worked hard and got much help from Mr. Hampton, the, advisor, and wrote enough stories to fill a four page newspaper for 14 issues. The newspaper not only contained news about the high school but also of both the elementary schools and the junior high school. Thus, it turned out to be a district newspaper. New typesetting equipment was acquired for the class by the school district. The 1976-77 journalism class seemed to have a very successful year and hopes to improve its newspaper in the following years. 1. Sheryl Stone reads over and does some finishing touchups on the District 76 News. 2. Annette Cochran cuts edges of a story for the paper. 3. Typ- ing up a story on the typesetter is Annette Cochran. 4. Lisa Taylor writes a story for the paper.

Holly Hendrickson Crow n ed Treeplanting Queen The slogan for the Treeplanting Festival this year was Growth Rings-Tomorrow ’s Past. 1977's festival was quite different, beginning with the Coronation of the Queen one week before the actual Treeplanting weekend (so that the Queen could reign for the entire week). The Queen for 1977 was Holly Hendrickson. The Treeplanting Festival was held on April 29th, 30th, and May 1st. Some of the usual activities included the style show, the talent show, the penny carnival, the parade, a remote-control airplane show, and the actual planting of the trees on Saturday at Crabapple princess holly Hendrickson and Unit 8.

A few students from the sophomore class sold tickets and served refreshments at the dance. Don and Donna Crist and Dave and Nancy Crist chaperoned around 120 high school students and their dates, who danced to the music of Artimus in the crowded club house. The music was great!!!

Graduation Sets Seniors Free This year's graduating class consisted of 79 seniors. The ceremony turned out well, althought the heat in the gym was unbearable. This year's valedictorian was Marcia Wright, and the salutatorian was Bemtina Twitchell. The top ten graduating seniors consisted of Robert Etheridge, Neal Faught, Joy Gardner, Lisa Henry, Mary Lopez, Debra Neptune, Randy Queen, Karl Tiller, Bemtina Twitchell, and Marcia Wright. Mr. Keith Putnam had the honor of being the speaker. The five major points that Mr. Putnam’s address contained were (1) Live fully now, (2) Think realistically, (3) Think positively, (4) Recognize change and accept it, and (5) Friends—Make all the friends you can and treat them well—they sustain your life. 1 Valedictorian Mania Wright makes her speech. 2.
