Another rea- son for this choice was that the song made reference to students wearing blue jeans with patches. (Upper left) Kris Stewart and Una Younger take money for a basketball game.

But, with the younger students run- ning the halls, there was more noise and roughhousing. Said one junior girl, “The older students tend to recede to the level of the younger students’ immaturity instead of the younger students rising to any point of matur- ity.” Conforming to the atmosphere of the high school was difficult for the younger stu- dents, and many of them were expelled or suspended for fighting and bad-mouthing. Skipping school was a favorite pastime of a number of students. However, if, at the end of the school year, a student had used all of his allowed absences, one more day’s absence meant total disaster. Students were allowed 7‘At days’ absence each nine weeks. If they missed over this amount, they were given an F over the grade they would have received. If they did not miss over 15 days by the end of the semester, their first nine weeks’ would-be grade was averaged with their second nine weeks grade for a semester grade.

English, Business 6 English, Business Rhonda Deadmond Wins Second-Place Medal in Skills Day Contest All English students worked in grammar books and made up original cartoons; they read novels in their literature books. The sophomores read Silas Marner and the seniors read The Demon Lover. Bonita Tibbs was their teacher. Out of four students who started shorthand, two finished the course. Elna Espenas taught this class at the same class hour as Typing II. She was also advisor for the high school news- paper. Students found time to enjoy a party after publication of each issue of the news- paper. Teri Riley, Alice Blondell, and Michelle Simes from Typing I, Laurie Allred and Sue Hambly from Shorthand I, and Rhonda Deadmond from English, Shorthand I, and Typing II entered the Skills Day Contest at South- western Oregon Community College on April 3. Rhonda placed second in English Skills and fourth in Shorthand I. Larry Hungcrford entered a skills contest at North Bend High School in industrial mechanics. Among guest speakers who spoke to personal finance students were Bob Hogan of Hogan Realty and Insurance at Myrtle Point, Mike Coen, a stockbroker from Harris Upham : Co., Inc., Roseburg, and Ross Pinkley of the Bank of Myrtle Point. 7 Journalism, Shorthand. Personal Finance, Typing I and II Mathematics, Science Specimens Massacred by Sophomores Physical science students began the year read- ing the text and answering questions. During the year they tested substances to see if they were acids or bases. The students also enjoyed taking home the lye soap they made in science. The biology class gained knowledge of nature and its ecosystems by studying and giving oral reports. As no experiments were done the first semester, students were eager to begin dissecting the specimens of crayfish, frogs, clams, and starfish which arrived third term. The open lab students worked with new elec- trical equipment. They tested the soils and waters of areas surrounding Powers. Many students of Powers High School gave a drop or two of blood from their fingers for the open lab people to test for anemia. General mathematics was taught by Glenn Gillespie. Pre-algebra, Algebra II, trigonome- try, and geometry were taught in one class period by Frankie Fedor. She also taught Al- gebra I to freshmen.

She took the students to visit businesses in the area and got jobs for many of the students. The students who worked were Debbie Mather at the Powers Police Sta- tion, Brad Allred at Powers Texaco, LeaAnna Hendon for the school, and Jimmy Thornton, Mabry Hendon, and Bill Walker for the Forest Service. The boys and girls rotated the gymnasium be- tween physical education and health except for. two weeks in mid term when they got together for co-educational volleyball. One semester the boys played basketball while the girls in health read Current Health magazines and had tests over them. Glenn Gillespie taught the U. S. History class about World War II, and Communism, Social- ism, and Terrorism. He also taught geography. The students studied a country every week and had handouts on landforms and bodies of water. 10 Social Studies, Diversified Occupations Page 10: (Lower left) Seventh and eighth boys physical education class.

John made a delicious lemon pie. Guy sewed a sharp-looking fishing vest. The girls sewed, decorated cakes, did hand arts, and cooked many tongue-teasing foods. Art classes let everyone express their crea- tivity through ceramics, block printing, and working with pastel chalks. Architecture Art and Shop I and II created projects to their liking. A few students made a hose rack that was appreciated by the Powers Fire Department. These classes, metal shop, and drivers education were taught by Robert Fox. Small engines classes listened to and watched audio-visual aides to help them understand parts of motors, such as, lawn mowers and boat engines. Shop. Drivers Education 13 French, Aides Teacher Aides Help Students Learn New Concepts Phyllis Christian, Diane Lenahan, Jimmy Thornton, Robert Magill, and Lana Younger worked in the office at different times throughout the school year. They helped fill out absent and tardy slips for other high school students and ran errands for Gloria Mortensen, office secretary. Kris Stewart combined office duties with her job as stu- dent body treasurer. Each afternoon Lana Younger worked as a teacher’s aide in grade six. She helped stu- dents understand concepts in many areas, es- pecially English and spelling. During sixth period Kris Stewart worked as teacher’s aide for Mary Blondell, who taught fourth and fifth giadcs. Kris Shorb graded papers for the mathematics teacher, Frankie Fedor. Sue Hambly aided Burdette Nicklaus in caring for the books in the library. French class was taught by Burdette Nicklaus in the library second period. Students who took this class learned to comprehend and speak French fluently. (Above) Teacher's aide Kris Stewart helps students Tina Fry and Glenda Fry work on social studies papers.

Gladys Lawson retired in December after eleven years of service to the Powers schools. Hired to take her place was Marjorie Ellis, who worked with Lavine Elam. Jessie Bern was hired as a substi- tute custodian. The custodians had two school buildings to clean as the junior high building was shut down. Bob Frye took care of the grounds and maintenance of both buildings. Bob Frye, Jr. filled in when his father was ill. Gloria Mortenson, school secretary, spent six weeks in Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene with a back injury. Merry Warner took her place while she was gone. School board members were Kenneth Likens, chairman, Joseph Shorb, James Adamek, Frances Smith, and Rev. Kenneth Stevens. Georgia Brady was deputy clerk. The school board settled problems that arose when the seventh and eighth grade students were moved to the high school. They also had to decide whether there were to be any more dances at the high school because of trouble caused by students’ drinking. Students were warned that they might lose the privilege of having dances altogether if these problems continued. Administration 17 Administration, Faculty Teachers and School Board Reach Impasse in Negotiating 75-76 Contract Five meetings were held by the Powers Educa- tion Association negotiating team with the school board to negotiate the working con- tract for the 1975-1976 school year. After the third meeting impasse occurred when no agreement could be reached on reduction in staff without discrimination, textbook adop- tion, tuition reimbursement, association rights, working hours, paid leaves of absence for family illness and bereavement, insurance coverage, and salary. The mediator, John Abernathy, from the Public Employe Rela- tions Board was called, and he asked the teachers to try again at the negotiating table. After two more meetings, the teachers and board were again at impasse. The mediation meeting was postponed until after school was out in June. Members of the negotiating team were Robert Fox, Mary Blondcll, and Frankie Fedor, spokesman. Page 18: (Above) Art teacher Elna Espertas puts the final touches on a ceramics project.

During his 34 years of teaching he helped students understand concepts in music, library, and French. At one time, he held the position of superintendent at P.H.S. When asked about how it felt to be retiring, his reply was, “You can’t work at a place half your life without having feelings for it.” He said he plans to relax and travel. The teachers and student body gave him a placjue to show their gratitude toward him. A gold watch was also presented to him by Joe Shorb, representing the school board, at com- mencement in appreciation for the 34 years of service he has given to the school district. Science teacher Rod Petersen received the teacher of the year award. Selection, by majority vote of the student body, was based on character, personality, and teaching ability.

They sold socks and supporters and sponsored a Bingham 168 basketball tournament. March 24 they held a donkey basketball game. The Girls Athletic Association entered the Chamber of Commerce Christmas window decorating contest and won a ten-dollar prize for the most original design. The girls also sold bumper stickers to raise money to help send interested people to the Girls State Bas- ketball Tournament in Portland March 8 and 9. In April the G.A.A. and Lettermen’s Club held a bingo to help pay for the universal gym. Page 22: (Above) C.A.A.

Mothers of the new students were present at the ceremony and shared cake and punch in the gym after the ceremony. Liz Pierson made a beautiful cake with the new members’ names written on it. Officers of the Hi-Light Chapter of the National Honor Society serving for 1974-1975 were President, Robert Aiken, Vice- President, John Cowan, Secre- tary-Treasurer, Rhonda Dead mond, and Stu- dent Council Representative, Rex Lesher. The Student Council revised the school con- stitution to include the seventh and eighth grades in the student body. Vice-President Rob Aiken met with the Activities Committee on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to pass or reject activity slips for bingos, car washes, and other student money-making projects.

During football season the rally used such spirit ideas as decorating the coaches’ houses in the middle of the night with soap, toilet paper, and shaving lotion. On other occasions they served the players cookies and punch be- fore an important game. During basketball season the Varsity rally had a good time doing their “Red Lights a-Flash- in’” chant which the spectators liked and re- quested the rally to do. Bonita Tibbs was Varsity Rally advisor. Page 26: (Above) Michelle Simes and LcaAnna Hendon in one of their gay moods.

Seniors Seniors Seniors Graduate in Black Choosing caps and gowns for graduation was one of the first jobs of the senior class. After much discussion, it was decided to use the school colors, orange and black, for the color scheme. When the gowns arrived in April, they were totally black. Despite disappoint- ment, the class voted to keep them. Since the seniors considered themselves on the border of adulthood, they chose “On the Border” for their senior ball theme. The seniors’ main money-making project was their juke box. They lost money on it every year except this year, simply because no one kicked it in.

The senior girls each carried a single red rosebud, the class flower. The ceremony began with the invocation from Reverend Kenneth Stevens, Pastor of the Church of God. Rob Aiken’s salutatory address was entitled, “Togetherness,” and Kris Stewart, valedictorian, gave her address based on Henry David Thoreau’s “Everyone Marches to a Different Drummer.” Guest speaker, Ed (Doc) Stevenson, State Representative, gave a speech using the class motto, “Today We Follow, Tomorrow We Lead.” Class President, Rob Aiken, introduced the Class of 1975 to the audience. Joe Shorb, school board chairman, presented each senior with a diploma. (Above) Representative Ed (Doc) Stevenson delivers his address to the seniors.

Graduation 33 Candids Seniors Caught in the Act of Being Themselves Between games, school activities, and homework, the seniors found many spare moments to be themselves. Whether it was taking money at games, talking on the phone, or just having fun, they made every minute count. During the year some of the seniors made future plans. After graduation Larry Hungerford planned to join the Navy. Kris Stewart was accepted at Lane Community College in the dental assistance program. LeaAnna Hendon planned to work at the Forest Service this summer and enroll in Southwestern Oregon Community College as a physical education major in the fall. Brad Allred planned to work at the Powers County Park in the summer and study law in the fall. Page 34: (Above) Kris Stewart takes admission fora football game.

The main activities contributing to this sum were a Thanksgiving bingo and a cookware raffle, which together brought in a total of $162.00, the movie, “Wait Until Dark,”, and the fun house in April In the middle of the year the sophomores do- nated $75.00 to the Lettermen’s Club to go to the purchase of a universal gym. Those sophomores who ordered class rings were quite excited with them. As the cost was quite prohibitive (S60.00 to $70.00), most of the students declined to order class rings. Sophomores 41 Freshmen Freshmen Have Christmas Bingo The freshmen earned $177.49 for their “coming up” years. They held two cake raffles, and they held a Christmas bingo, where Dennis Wallace played Santa Claus and handed out candy canes to all the little kiddies. They also did a Christmas window in one of the downtown windows for the Chamber of Commerce contest and won a first prize of $10.00.

Powers was first defeated by Camas Valley, 20-6. This was a close game despite the score. Camas Valley dominated in rushing and punting, while Powers was tied equally for everything else. The game was tied until the last quarter, then Camas scored on a pair of touchdowns. Next Powers was defeated by Days Creek, 56-16, due to the Days Creek rushing attack. Bill Walker collected four receptions for 50 yards, making 16 tackles, while Guy Shorb picked up 100 yards on the ground. Powers was whipped 28-6 by Prospect.

This group of boys dis- played the true meaning of teamwork. They were always smaller than the teams they played. However, size to them was never a handicap. This team always displayed hustle, determination, desire and love for the game of basketball. Defense was always more im- portant than offense to this group,” com- mented Coach Kerry Quilhaugh. This J.V. team finished the season with a 16-win 9-loss record, which is a tremendous team effort, considering the size of the schools the Cruisers compete against. Powers’ finest victory came early in the season when Powers upset Myrtle Point 36-26 on Myrtle Point’s own court. The following week end the Cruisers beat them again 44-38. Powers compiled a 10 and 2 record, and fin- ished first in league competition. The Cruisers’ biggest league victory was a 70-35 annihilation of the Camas Valley Hornets. Powers didn’t have any one outstanding indi- vidual. Garth Lucas, a junior, was leading re- bounder. Tom Gibbs, Dale Blanton, and Casey Shorb were leading scorers. Kevin Morgan, Paul Shorb, Rene’ Gibbs, Reno Lucas, and Dennis Wallace rounded out a fine group of ball players. Each of these players were starters at some time during the season and all played extensively. Page 64: (Above) Coach Kerry Quilhaugh gives a pep talk. (Right) left Allred shows team spirit.

These victories gave the girls a chance to go to the state tournament for A schools at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, March 7-9 to try for the state championship. The first game at the tournament was with Colton, March 7. At the end of the first half the score was Powers 28 and Colton 19; but in the second half the Powers girls made only 14 points to Colton’s 26, and Colton won 45 to 42. The Powers girls played a second game the same night with Harrisburg. At half time the score was Powers 20 and Harrisburg 19, but in the second half Harrisburg picked up 22 points and Powers 18, with Harrisburg winning the game 41 to 38. Of course the two losses ended the girls’ participation in the tournament, but their playing in a state tournament was a “first’’ for the Powers girls basketball team, and they had a lot of support from the community with many cars and bus loads of Powers spectators arriving in Portland to support the girls. LeaAnna Hendon scored a total of 52 points for both tournament games. She outscored the girls in the AA and AAA teams. She was fourth high scorer in the A’s tournament for the first night of play. LeaAnna Hendon got on the A team for league, Dierre Hendon got on the B team for league, and Alice Blondell got honorable mention. Page 68: (Top left) Kris Stewart being checked by a Glendale player.
