Well, this year's theme for the annual is Nature. Instead of having the kids pose and being unnatural, we caught them in the act of being themselves, by hiding around corners and under desks. Anyway, what's more natural than kids being kids? lntroduction 3 Top left: Kevin Zanni's mouth; Bottom right: Mark Nightingale and Steve Fry in disguise; Above: Tom Miller after football practice. 4 lntroduction Some people say there is a mother of all nature, well known as Mother Nature . A typical name, but not a very typical person. Picky, like many others, yet different. We think she is one person we'd really like to meet face to face Curriculum ENGLISH HAS A DIFFERENT TOUCH English was a little different this year. We didn't have the regular boring stuff. We had different boring stuff. No not really. Serious- ly, English was a lot of fun. The students got to read their books outside. A little nature with their education.

IS NEW ADVENTURE This year was fun in Home Ec., but then what year isn't fun when your in Home Ec. The students made stuffed animals, jam, jelly and a variety of other things. As one can tell by the pictures, it was a learning experience for all. The 11 th and 12th grade girls even threw in a little cake decorating on the side. The year was a new adventure for all.

Home Ec. 7 Curriculum STUDENTS LIKED VARIETY P.E. had its ups and downs this year, mostly ups. The class did an assortment of things such as Baseball, Tennis, Basketball and to- wards the end of the year they went bowling. One of the downs it had was the last three days of school. The class had to take a fitness test. If you were to ask one of the students. I'm sure they would remember those days.

Curriculum MR NIGHTINGALE’S ASSORTED CLASSES AND BUGS This year was Mr. Nightingale's last year so we made the most of it. The Biology I and II classes took their annual field trip to the beach to see the sea life in the tide pools. It was really neat. They captured pictures in their minds that will live for all the years to come. Mr. Nightingale also had some rats that were donated to the class. They were cute little critters along with the snakes and all the other creepy crawly things that passed through the biology room this year. All in all the year wasn't too creepy, as long as the bugs and such stayed where they were put, and didn't get out.

But don't let those smiley faces fool you. They worked hard in that class. Towards the end of the year the students had to write reports. From what I hear, some of the students did really well on those reports. Middle right: Casey Shorb, Mike Shuey.

One of her other classes got all the information together and compiled a phone book for the city of Powers. Another class did a CB book. Mrs. Fedor also took over the typing class. She is a fantastic teacher and has put up with a lot from some of her students. Left: Mrs. Fedor; Bottom left: Carrie DeLong, Marsha Tay lor.

GILLESPIE'S CLASS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE Mr. Gillespie's History classes studied a variety of things this year. Among them were the Civil War, the Presidents and Sherman's March to the Sea. Mr. Gillespie, as many of you know, also teaches math. The students became better acquainted with the math- matical view of things. Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Quilhaugh deserve the medal of courage. The explanation behind this is they took the 7th and 8th grade to Jacksonville. But a fine time was had by all. Top right: This intelligent class is studying U.S. History. Ed Parkhurst, Kevin Zanni.

MILLARD’S CLASS DIFFERENT Mr. Millard's Forestry class did a wide assortment of things this year, from climbing trees to riding his mules. This Forestry program was started just this year and was a favorite among the students. The Forestry class traveled to Bend to be in the Skills Day. It was an exciting trip. The boys slept out in a tent. It was a real outing. Mr. Millard also teaches shop where some students refinished furniture.

Divider 15 16 Teachers CLEAN HALLS On these two pages there are many things to write about — so if this story seems mixed up, it probably is. Mr. Ed Ross is our new clean up guy. He makes the school squeaky clean so every morning when we come to school we don't have to walk down dirty halls and sit in dirty class rooms. Another guy around the place is Lowell Shorb. He keeps the outside looking good. Mr. Burton substituted when Mr. Quilhaugh was gone. He was almost like a part of our big happy family at good ol' P.H.S.

Teachers 17 Teachers TEACHERS MAKE IT HAPPEN These are the teachers that helped the administration run smoothly this long, never-ending year. Next year probably won't be the same. Mr. Nightingale is leaving us, but he will still live in Powers. He was a good teacher of the sciences. Mrs. Ringle did a good job too! So did Mr. Buckwheat Stallard. These are the new teachers and librarian. We're sorry to see Mr. Nightingale go, but we welcome the new teachers with, shall I say, open arms.

Groups MUSICBOX IN SIGHT FOR DULL LUNCH HOURS The lettermen this year have proposed a musicbox for next year. This will give the students something to do with their noon lunch hours, instead of being bored stiff. Not much happened in G.A.A. this year. But it wasn't because they didn't try to make it happen, actually they didn't have too many meetings to discuss much. 22 G.A.A. Lettermen 23 Groups Jodie and Berne Topped Jodi Allred and Bernie Altenbach were the only new members tapped into the National Honor Society this year. They will be pro- bationary members for the first year. Nancy Smith was the only active member and Jeff Allred and Sharon Walker were graduating members. All the members were presented with certificates and took the pledge of the Hi-Light Chapter of the National Honor Society. Coffee, juice and cake was served in the home economics room for the new members, their parents, and faculty after the ceremony. The Student Council was guided by the lea- dership of President Jeff Allred. Meetings were called to discuss such things as Home- coming activities, dances, and the track and field day. Mr. Millard was the advisor and helped out during the meetings. Top: Jeff Allred, Student Council President.

Last summer the 1977-78 cheerleaders were busy earning money to send themselves to rally school. They finally reached their goal and were off to Corvallis in July. There they were to spend the next four days working hard for the Cruisers. They learned new yells and chants and were eager to come home and show them to the school and town. Jodi Allred was elected rally queen and followed by Nancy Smith, Carrie DeLong and Valorie Weltch. The girls worked hard to earn the money for their new football and basketball outfits. They wore them to every game and looked bright and sparkling. In December they received the second place trophy for cheerleading at the Camas Valley Christmas Tournament which was very exciting. Rally 27 Groups Girls Roily Spirit 28 J.V. Rally Being on rally is a big responsibility no matter which rally you are on. The junior varsity rally and the 7th and 8th grade rally got their spirit going and did a good job for their teams. The junior varsity helped the varsity rally cheer in several games. Julie DeLong was elected Queen of the J.V.'sand LaLonie Morgan; was chosen as Queen of the 7th and 8th grade rally. Keep up the good work cheerleaders!

A wonderfuJ summer's night, 32 - M ' ym Seniors 29 Graduates Original Gass Being original has always been important to the class of '78, so at the beginning of the year it was decided that there would be an outside graduation, weather permitting. Or- dering the announcements, caps, gowns and tassles was very exciting as it made the Seniors realize how close they were to the big day. The taking of the senior pictures was also a big one. The class decided to make their own plaque for the hall so that it would be up for graduation. The Seniors hope to be re- membered by posterity for the things they have done over the years such as making the biggest bonfire in PHS history, the Camas Valley homecoming queen float and being the class with the most class.

The yellow rose was picked as the class flower; and the motto, Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but live your todays , shows how the class feels about the past, the future and the present. May 6, 1978, the Senior Ball was held in the gym as the band Phoenix played. Dust in the Wind was the theme and old west was the basis for the decorations. The freshmen enjoyed painting the rock bright yellow and green. The seniors had to prod them a little, but it eventually got done. 32 Seniors Page 32-Top: Tim Miller strums his guitar; Left: Dennis Wal- lace holds a ball; Middle right: The victory sign made by the Seniors; Bottom right: Terry Cowan sings and plays for the class.

Seniors 33 Graduates 12 YEARS LATER On June 4, 1978, nine proud seniors marched into the Powers' gymnasium where once some of them had thrilled the crowd with their basketball play and some had cheered their own classmates on to victory. But today they were going to re- ceive their diplomas, and there wouldn't be any- more games to play. They were adults now, just part of the crowd. Maybe someday they would play on one of the town teams, but it wouldn't be the same. They had had their fun in this gym. Now it was time to move on. Thank you crowd and gymnasium.

Class Prophecy In the year 2001, we walk down the mainstreet of Powers, being careful not to get run over by the new Am Trac that they've just put in beside the President's office. As we stroll down the street towards the Texaco there is a man who wears the star, Jeffy Allred, still pumping ethel at the station with his ten little Newt Bobs running around. Five out of the ten ask their dad if they can go down to the big T.L. to see Terry, alias Bore Cowan, who. incidently is playing lead guitar at the T.L. hoping soon to be with KISS. Have ya heard the latest news: Well, it seems as though Linda Durbin is being chased by Smokey the Bear because he wants to ask her hand in marriage. Before Linda's wedding (if there is one) she would like to get her hair styled at the Millpond Salon. Tom the head hairdresser has just come up with a new hairdo called the Frizzbomb. The hairdo is so fantastic that all the girls are just simply going wild! While visiting the Millpond Salon, Tom sadly informs us that Ron Reed is in the hospital. We were shocked, so we decided to drop over to Powers General Hospital to see what Ron is in for. While there by his bedside. Ron tells us his sad story; Well back in 1978 when I was going to good ole' P.H.S. I spent my nights, and let me tell you they were long hard nights, vacuuming the streets with my old nose earning money for my new nose. We are now leaving Ron because he needs his rest to recover from his 48 hour operation. Wendi is faithfully at his bedside wondering where their next meal will come from now that Ron is unemployed. In the little time we have left, we go to visit Casey Shorb in his mansion on Shorb Hill. Watching himself on T.V. and on the screen lo and behold is Casey. There he is on the Lawrence Welk show tap dancing away! As time passes by and it grows nearer for us to depart, we go to see the last of the 1978 Seniors. Sharon Walker. Sharon is working at the Powers International Airport with her one and only wind-up toy airplane hoping soon to get a pilot because she doesn't know much about this piloting business. While we are walking we see Dennis Wallace and his basketball, tennis and golf teams loading off Dennis's private Greyhound buses. One may ask why does Dennis have all these teams and buses? Well, we were going to ask him but at the last moment he had to rush off to a fire. At 41 years old, he is still faithful to the Powers Volunteer Fire Department, of which he is Head Chief. As our day draws to a close we board the Am Trac to take us to our mansions on the outskirts of Powers. 36 Futures A floating blanket of leaves whirling around in the winds, looking in every direction, the beauty-never,ends. Divider 37 Undergraduates JUNIORS TAKE ALL The junior class this year was like any other ordinary junior class that has trudged down the halls of good o'l P.H.S. At the beginning they didn't have very much together, but as the year progressed and different activities were held, they had no problem adjusting. To start school off just right, they won first place with their Homecoming float. They had a ham raffle around Thanksgiving. Everything to make the dinner complete was furnished. Lynn Rauch won the ham and all the trimmings. When Christmas time rolled around, the Juniors put all their artistic talents into the window-decorating contest and once again won first place. Such talent! Now the year is coming to a close, they're going to pick out their graduation invitaitons and wait for next year when they will be mighty Seniors.

Juniors 39 Undergraduates SOPHOMORES MOVE ON The Sophomores had kind of a normal year. Nothing spectacular happened to them, but they squeezed through and moved on to be Juniors. They ordered their class rings at the beginning of school and received them later on in the year. The majority of the Sophomore class participated in some sport, either boys sports, girls sports, or rally. They had an old classmate return after moving back to Powers, this was Larry Inselman who is not pictured with the rest of the class.

Sophomores 41 Undergraduates A QUICK YEAR Their freshman year seemed to go by too fast to really enjoy it. In October they were as- signed to building the bonfire to burn the night before the Homecoming game. The freshman took charge and gathered wood, stacked it, and lit it off the night before the game. Again in March, the seniors gave them the task of painting the rock. Those of the freshman class that showed up had a good time. Just being a freshman is something that they will always remember as a year of ex- perience in high school as well as their first year of high school sports. They took third place in the contest for the best Homecoming float that followed the theme of AXE THE ELKS Jeanne Case Molly Grabowski Mark Pinson 42 Freshmen Linda Christian Stoney Clauson Rosalee Hedrick Bill Looney Far left: Kim Altenbach being assisted by Mr. Nightingale in science class.

Here most of them will spend the next 5 years learning and waiting to graduate. This year has been a fulfilling one for them. To start off the year they were able to participate in basketball with the eighth-graders both girls and boys. The seventh-graders were able to have a homecoming princess and escort to be in the Homecoming Court. The princess was Tina Fry her escort was Mike Altenbach. They also took part in bingos with the eighth-graders, decorated a window at Christmas, and had a booth at the Carnival. Towards the end of the year, Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Quilhaugh were brave enough to venture to Jacksonville with them. As the year closes they are wondering what the coming years will bring as they climb the ladder to success.

Divider 47 48 Homecoming Happenings SHARON WALKER CROWNED QUEEN Homecoming started out with traditional spirit week. First we had 50's day on Monday, Color day on Tues- day. Logger day on Wednesday, Girls' day on Thursday, and Boys' day on Friday. Meanwhile the classes chose the theme. After racking their brains they finally came up with Axe the Elks . When the hard work was done, we had the parade and float judging. The Juniors came out on top. Second place went to the Freshmen. Towards the end of the week. Homecoming court was picked. Seventh grade Prin- cess, Tina Fry, Escort Mike Altenbach; Eighth grade Princess, La Lonie Morgan, Escort Tim Fry; Fresh- man Princess, Elissa Thorton, Escort Dave McDaniels; Sophomore Princess, Carrie DeLong, Escort Bernie Altenbach; Junior Princess, Nancy Smith, Escort Ed Parkhurst; and the Senior Queen Sharon Walker and her Escort Mr. Football Terry Cowan. Tera Looney carried the roses, and Matt Shorb carried the crown. On Saturday the Homecoming football game was played against Elkton. The game was tough, and the guys tried hard, but Elkton had a victory of 20-8 over us. The fans were disappointed, but that didn't stop us from having fun at the dance that night. Flashfire did a good job playing at the dance. Everybody's spirit lifted, and in the end, a good time was had by all. Top: The Juniors' winning float; Bottom right: Tara Looney.

Homecoming 49 Happenings YOLK MAKES A SUPER SANTA Christmas time this year was quite interesting. To start everything off, the Seniors of 1978 decorated the hall windows, the lights and the Christmas tree in the hall, and also the one in the gym. After that was done, the classes decorated the windows downtown as they do every year. The windows were judged, and once again the Juniors took first place. Then the last day of school, before Christmas vacation, Santa gave out Christmas presents. Dennis Wallace accepted the role of Santa Claus. And what a dear Santa he made! He had most everybody sit on his lap, except for a few who were too shy, or just weren't in the Christmas mood. Mr. Burdette Nicklauscame to the high school to play Christmas music to heighten everyone's spirits. Cookies and punch were provided by Mrs. Quilhaugh's Home Ec. classes. The Christmas Program was a success too. It was Miss Anderson's last choir concert before she left us to go to Australia.

The students of Powers High School really worked hard in making this program successful. There was only one problem. Some students were shy when it came time to model their clothes. But other than that everything went all right. The Home Economics class provided the refreshments, made by the eager students. One of the main attractions was the square dancing that the kids learned in their P.E. class. It was some- thing different anyway. The students put stuffed animals, shop projects and many more things on display. The student body picked the theme You Light Up My Life .

Mothers Tea 51 Happenings SENIORS GIVEN HAM AT BANQUET On Saturday May 13th the Juniors held their annual Junior-Senior banquet. This joyous event took place at the Moose Hall. The hall was decorated in yellow, white, and different shades of green. It looked simply divine. As soon as everyone was seated and everything was quieted down, Peggy Morgan gave the toast, which was I'd like to make a toast to the 1978 Junior-Senior banquet. As you can tell, she was obviously nervous. After that came the passing of the colors. Dennis Wallace passed the colors to Nancy Smith. The words that they exchanged were quite comical. Reverend Kenneth Stevens did the invocation. Nancy Smith welcomed everyone with her 25 1 3 second welcome speech. Due to circum- stances beyond our control, our class advisor could not make it, so Mr. Gillespie was kind enough to read the Junior class prophecy. Miss Fronk read the Senior class will. After the prophecy and the will were read, everyone slowly departed to get ready for the Senior Ball.

Junior-Senior Banquet 53 Happenings A BALL WAS HAD BY ALL The Senior Ball was a great success this year. With Dust In The Wind chosen as the theme, the Seniors decorated accordingly, with saloons and hotels painted on paper and hung on wire. To add a touch of class the Seniors got it together and put some hay bales out in the middle of the floor, how original!! A lot of hard work went into this years ball, I'm sure it was appreciated by those who attended. The band that had the privilege of playing was Rigamarol . They did a fine job of playing with only one flaw, they were late. But as they started playing everyone soon forgot that they were an hour late in start- ing. As the evening drew to a close it was evident that all in all a ball was had by all. Page 55: This is P.H.S.'s one and only scurry rat. Casey Shorb. doing what he does best, goof off.

These pictures were compiled over the year. And we have nothing else to do with them but stick them on a blank page here and there. But, I will explain one picture, the one with our choir teacher. Miss Sylvia Anderson was here for a short time, but the time she was here we all enjoyed her presence very much. She taught many of us to sing and gave us words of wit when we were down and out. Miss Anderson was a fantastic teacher, and she is missed by all.

The Cruisers showed their pride by never giving up and giving Elkton and Paisley a fight for their lives. Battling Paisley, the wind, and the penalties, the Cruisers just fell short, 20 to 12. First year Head Coach Marty Stallard gave the young Cruisers inspiration by telling his old football stories, and his assistant, Craig Rector, kept the Cruisers loose and feeling good by telling his old jokes.

The boys that sparked the wolf- pack this year were Ben Baldwin and Dallas Butler. Ben is a fine shot and hustles on de- fense, and Dallas is a main factor on the boards. Both are good team players. Chris Wick and Glenda Fry will help the high school girls' basketball program next year.

Mary Ann Rector and her young Cruiserettes could only muster up one win, but many of the other games were close. The young basketball team consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores, with only one junior, did a fine job. The all learned their pros and cons. Mary Ann Rector, a graduate of the class of 1973 of Powers High School, learned right along with the girls. The next couple of years should really show im- provement on the Girls Basketball team, with other fine young basketball players coming into the picture. So come on out to the games and support the girls, because they represent you.

Just be- cause they had a 6 win and 16 loss record doesn't mean a thing. The boys learned to play together, and some of them even had a chance to play some Varsity ball. Coach Marty Stallard did a pretty good job coaching the boys. A special thanks should go to Steve Fry for managing the J.V. and Varisty teams this year.

Competition FUTURE TEAM Craig Rector organized the Rowdy Rooters. This is what set the Cruisers off. All these guys coming in with orange shirts and the girls in black were enough to make any team want to win. At the end of the season the Rowdy Rooters gave the Varsity, Junior Varsity, Varsity Girls, and the Cheerleaders a dinner in the Paul Bunyan room. This was the first time that Powers has ever had the Rowdy Rooters and hope they will be there for next years games. Jeff Allred was picked as Most Valuable Player by the Rowdy Rooters. Jeff also was picked as All League Player and Dennis Wallace was picked for honorable mention. The Cruisers did a good job this season and they hope there is many more good seasons in the future.

The team played in many exciting games. At the end of the season the Cruisers had two first. place trophies and one second place trophy. The first trophy the Cruisers won was at the Camas Valley Christmas Tournament. Then at the League Tourn- ament, the Cruisers took home the first place league trophy and a second place Skyline League trophy. The team had a good chance to go to state. The whole town traveled to Reedsport to watch Powers play Elkton and to see who went to state. People say you can't blame a referee but if you had watched the game you might have to disagree. The Cruisers averaged about 8 fouls per game. At the end of the play-off game we had 29 fouls to their 11. During the beginning of the season things didn't look good for Powers. Casey Shorb was out with a broken hand that wouldn't heal, but things started “cookin' when the Cruisers beat Myrtle Point. As coach Quilhaugh said, When Powers beats a AA school, it's a good sign that we are going to win.

Boys Varsity 71 IN MEMORY On Monday, September 26, graveside services were held for Reno Lucas. Reno was born in Cottage Grove and moved here to Powers. When Reno started high school, he was active in many activities. In his first year of high school, Reno took part in many things, such as Football, Basketball and Track. Then in Reno's sophomore year, he was on the relay team that set the league record, which was 3.44.6 for the mile. That year he also joined the Hi-Power staff. Reno's Junior year was full of excitement because he was picked as Junior escort. He didn't go out for Track, Basketball or Football in his Senior year. He decided to take it easy and take pictures for the annual of all the games. After Reno graduated he went to work for his brother. Goodnight, in Allegany. When Reno came home on the weekends you could almost always find him on the street corner in front of the fountain. Reno was good to everyone and was well liked by all. We're all going to miss Reno very much. Reno Lucas Above Reno Lucas.

ANNUAL STAFF DOUBLES AS REPORTERS Before the annual class started organizing this year's annual, they published several Hi Powers. Each student had their own page and assembled it as they liked. Sharon Walker was also editor for the Hi Power. The staff alternated pages and also served as re- porters. After the class got into producing the annual, they turned their jobs as re- porters over to the sophomore class. Annual 93 In Closing ANNUAL CLASS PULLS THROUGH Editor Sharon Walker worked hard at getting the staff to finish the 1978 annual.
