. . . WITH STYLE Our janitors and maintenance people, Lavine Elam, Corky Clau- son, and Dick Wallace deserve a standing ovation. They manage with the limited time to keep the lawn mowed, the halls and class- rooms swept and cleaned, the gar- bage picked up on campus, the school heated, and everything run- ning smoothly. The school board members along with the budget committee mem- bers should all have big smiles on their faces. After working all year on a budget that would satisfy the voters of Powers, they were hit with a pleasant surprise. For the first time in P.H.S. history, the tax base passed.

Making adjustments FACULTY AND STAFF SHOW VERSATILITY The 83-84 school year brought on some major changes. Kelly Spencer, special education teacher, became Kelly Allred, and Jim Click, shop teacher, became the husband of Wendy Click. Science teacher, Mark Donnelly, fathered his first child, Evan, who, accompa- nied by his mother, Pat Walker, managed to cheer up lunch hour every day. Ellen Baldwin, librarian, taught a computer literacy class and also spent much time tutoring. New teacher, Terry Farrier, took Frankie Fedor's place on the staff. This was also his first year as head football coach. In spite of budget cutbacks leav- ing no funding for field trips, Mary Fronk and Gloria Quilhaugh squeezed in a couple. Miss Fronk took her music appreciation stu- dents to an Adam Ant concert in Eugene. Mrs. Quilhaugh took her girls P.E. class to attend several ex- ercise classes and to play some ra- quetball. Kerry Quilhaugh announced this to be his final year as varsity bas- ketball coach. He has worked hard along with the seniors to bring back traditions such as skip day. Mr. Quilhaugh also had two poems of his published in The World newspaper. John Rollofson was superinten- dent at P.H.S. for the second year. When Mr. Rollofson wasn't work- ing in School District 31, he was taking classes including school law, school buildings, and research and evaluation of programs. After Christmas, school secre- tary, Linda Fry, was on her own in the office because Janice Rolfe, after serving five years as adminis- trative secretary, left to marry Dick Vigue. Mrs. Fry was helped on Thursdays when Shirley Stallard, deputy clerk, came in to take care of the school's finances. 4 Faculty Classes

Someone new NEW RECRUIT The Powers school district once again recruited a new teacher, Ter- ry Farrier, this time to take the place of Frankie Fedor on the staff for business, math, and computer science. Mr. Farrier, just out of col- lege and with student-teaching ex- perience, came to Powers with his wife, Debbie, and his little boy, Doug. Considering the fact that he had not taught at the high school level before, Mr. Farrier adjusted rather well. Being nervous and not know- ing what to expect at first, Mr. Far- rier conducted his classes as if he were an army drill sergeant. Once the students broke him in, though, his bright, white teeth were often seen under the furry caterpillar he wore on his upper lip. Even before school started, Mr. Farrier was getting involved with some of the students. He jumped feet first into the head football coaching position at P.H.S. This was his first year as a high school coach, and never before had he coached football. The team did ex- ceptionally well in spite of a few drawbacks. Coach Farrier guided the boys happily and not-so-hap- pily to the state quarter-finals. He will be taking over as head basket- ball coach next year. Page 6 - Terry Farrier learns to walk.
