CRUISER VOL. XLVII POWERS HIGH SCHOOL POWERS, OREGON m2 Senior Prom 7 heme Let It Be SENIORS It was a sad day for the seniors (happy for the freshmen) when initiation was cancelled because of an injury to a freshmen girl when she fell out of a pickup. Spirit Week was the only activity allowed. On a Sunday in September all the seniors and freshmen climbed the steep hill north of town so that the freshmen could paint the 72 on the rock. Several days later three junior boys blacked out the 72 and the junior class was forced to replace it. The Senior Ball was held April 22 at the high school. To carry out the theme, Let It Be , the seniors decorated the gym with sunrise scenery and photographs of waterfalls and forests, with silver clouds hanging from the ceiling. The band, Bojangles, played the theme song, Let It Be , as the senior couples walked over the bridge onto the dance floor. Senior class officers: Rita Shorb, Student Council Representative; Pete Cunningham, Parliamentarian; Lisa Simes, Treasurer; Julie Moore, Secretary; Evelyn Kalb, Vice President; and John Clauson, President.

It assured people that If your windows get waxed, we, the juniors, will wash them. They had fun washing a number of windows. The Junior Prom was a joyous occasion. The theme, You've got a lot to live, was carried out with a Smiley of yellow and black at the door to greet the guests and black light posters placed around the hall. The music was provided by Sweet Briar of Ashland. With Aleta Shorb's leadership, the junior class held bingos and fun-nites to raise money to be sent to the Peace Corps for building a school.

The freshmen brought a juke box into the school this year. It was used for entertainment at noon. It was also used as a money-making project. Left: Brad Allred on duty watching the juke box. 11 Faces Reduced Enrollment After beginning a year with reduced enrollment, our administration, under the direction of Mr. Bernard Adamson, Superintendent- Principal, was faced with important questions that directly reflected the future well being of the community and the school. Would the student population decline continue? Would the economy of the community improve? Would the anxieties of parents be satisfactorily answered? With optimism these problems were faced, and every effort was made to keep a good school system functioning in Powers. Mr. Nighingale, as the student body counselor, helped the students with problems and helped them decide what they would do after high school. 12 Bernard Adamson Peter Nightingale School board members: Robert McDonald, chairman; Archie Lane. Ken Likens, Alfred Peile. and Joe Shorb. As the deputy district clerk, Mrs. Georgia Brady takes notes and handles financial affairs for the school board.

As the school's and superintendent's secretary, Mrs. Pauline Mintonye prepares federal programs and district budgets, instructs and supervises all office girls and student body treasurers, records and does all the general office work required to keep our school running smoothly. 13 FACULTY Above: Barbara Brister.

Studying personal finance which includes budgeting, using check books, buying insurance, and buying food and clothing was also part of the course. Science classes were very exciting since the students wanted to learn about the oranisms that make up life. They knew that every experiment they did led to more scientific information. Some mishaps did happen, but from this the students learned what not to do the next time. The students did many experiments and calculations. The course included making cultures of various mixtures and comparing soil samples from various parts of the United States. The students studied the animal and plant life in the mill ponds of Powers. Eddie Wilcox and Mark Magill tested the turbidity, conductivity, oxygen content, and depth of the water, and they made an under-water map of the pond that is set aside in future plans for a park in Powers.

Mr. Dan Jones, the teacher of these classes, did everything in his power to make the classes fun and interesting by inventing games to coincide with subjects in the chapters. Some of the revised games were Jeopardy and Password. Through this he made learning more interesting and enjoyable. When the classes had a discusssion, he encouraged the students to ask why, to try to understand the reason why, to seek the truth, and to make their own decisions from the facts. The classes held panel discussions, worked on symposiums, and did research projects on world culture.

The school board at first felt that the students should dress in dresses and pants suits and slacks. The students felt they should be able to wear what they wanted. After a lot of discussion, the school board assumed that the students were adult enough to make their own decisions about the way they dressed and allowed the dress code to be abolished. The student council met only whenever a problem came up that needed their attention. Not many problems arose, and not many meetings were held.
