CRUISER POWERS HIGH SCHOOL HOME OF THE CRUISERS VOLUME 60 Though the 84-85 school year may not have seemed successful to some be- cause of the athletic situation, other suc- cesses were achieved. The student body worked hard to raise money for a P.A. system. Because of their efforts, a new P.A. system was installed in the gym to replace the old, well-worn one. P.H.S. was more academically oriented this year. Students cracked down and did the best they could. At SWOCC Skills Day several students did well and placed in their events, contrary to past competi- tions. The competency system was chal- lenged by the students. The school board reacted by establishing a committee to review the competency system. 3 Loyalty P.H.S. Forever This year's annual is a tribute to P.H.S.'s number one supporter, Eddie Jeffers. In the past, Eddie has supported the school in athletics and school activi- ties and continues to do so. Eddie rides the school bus with the players to almost all of the games through the volleyball, basketball, and football seasons. Through thick and thin he is there in the stands or on the sidelines shouting and cheering the team on. When the school holds an activity, whether it be a chili feed or a bingo, Eddie is there to partici- pate. To Eddie, P.H.S. has always been number one. You're number one to us, too, Eddie! Thanks for your continuing support! Page 1: top left -Darla Fry; top middle - Rick Butler; top right - Tracy Smith and Elton Morgan; Bottom - Jackie Morgan and Shelly Butler.

Mr. Rollofson introduced two new business days for the seniors and brought three new computers to the sys- tem so both the elementary and high school could use computer technology in their programs. Also, Mr. Rollofson ac- quired a T.V.-V.C.R. combination and had cable T.V. hooked up so the high school could have access to public televi- sion. School Secretary Linda Fry manned the front office of the high school again this year. Mrs. Fry has countless duties, some of which are typing announce- ments every day, keeping student files up to date, handling Mr. Rollofson's ap- pointments, and managing the money. District Clerk Shirley Stallard came up once a week to take care of the school accounts and time cards. Ellen Baldwin, P.H.S. librarian, handled attendance, li- brary books and magazines, and also had a computer literacy class. She also played the role of a live-in, short-notice substi- tute. Lavine Elam and James Clausen put up with typical high school vandalism: writing on bathroom walls, mass gar- bage dumping, etc. They are two very good janitors, and the students and fac- ulty of Powers High appreciate them greatly. The class of 1985 would like to extend a special thanks to Dick Wallace for helping with Senior Ball decorations. Along with all of Dick's other duties he managed to gather up all of the things that the seniors asked for.

She was rally advisor. Campfire Girls leader, and concession stand manager. Terry Farrier took over for Kerry Quil- haugh this year to coach boys varsity basketball. Along with his regular schedule of computers, business, and math classes, he also taught a night class for S.W.O.C.C. In addition to his normal shop schedule James Click taught an adult woodworking class after school, and he also coached boys J.V. basketball for the first time this year. Kerry Quilhaugh, athletic director, re- tired from coaching varsity ball this year to coach the junior high basketball teams. He kept up with his regular duties as senior advisor, general math, civics, and spelling instructor. Steve Fergus was hired part time this year to aid Willie Hamlett.

Mrs. Quilhaugh taught home eco- nomics, health, and physical education. Mark (Trivia King) Donnelly opened up a new realm of learning that we all could enjoy when he introduced Powers High to Issac Asimov. As well as teach- ing all Science courses and taking over as Cruiser News (formerly Hi-Power) advi- sor, Mr. Donnelly was track coach for Powers this year.

Mary Fronk's schedule was made up entirely of English classes this year when, for the first time in six years, she was given the junior high students to really test her skill as an English teacher.

They began their senior year with a meager seven students, five girls and two boys, but they soon gained another body in the form of Deb Mahan. With only eight people they managed to pull off a very successful Senior Ball and many other school activities. The Class of '85' have always partici- pated heavily in athletics and other school activities. Shelly Butler, Kelle Adamek, Gretchen Stauffer, Jackie Mor- gan, and Tina Russell all were members of the Volleyball and Girls Basketball teams. Tina Russell was also the only senior girl on the Track team. Also, Kelle Adamek was chosen to be a member of the Teams Northwest volleyball tour to China during the summer. Jack Lowery participated in football and basketball, and Kelly Johnson played basketball for the first time this year. The seniors also had much to offer the school in leader- ship. Gretchen Stuaffer became the first girl Student Council President in many years. To round out the student council participating by the seniors, Kelle Ada- mek acted as Student Council Secretary and Shelly Butler was Senior Class Re- presentative. The seniors are going to miss the school and friends they love, but even though they are going their separate ways the Class of '85' will always be to- gether in memory.

The senior class adopted a western theme and centered their cre- ative efforts around it. Bails of hay were sculpted to create an arch for the Grant March. A ceiling-high backdrop with a cowboy and horse silhouetted in the sun- set was erected to set off the surround- ings. Cowboy boots and hats, saddles, and bandanas adorned the hay-arch that set their western theme alive. Lights strung in the rafters created a starlight effect. Pony Express, a country-rock band, played until the close of the even- ing. The Grand March was unlike any oth- er Powers has seen. The seniors and their dates paraded proudly through their self- made arch with The Tennessee Waltz playing softly in the background. The couples were illuminated in a soft red glow by lamps placed in various loca- tions. Donna Wassman, accompanied by Pony Express, sang the opening song, The Tennessee Waltz , while the sen- iors put their newly learned waltz to use. The nights the seniors spent decorat- ing until two o'clock in the morning had paid off. Their final ball was a success.

The two most important being the Sen- ior Trip and, of course. Graduation. For their Senior Trip the class, Mr. Quilhaugh, and Patty Adamek motored to Bandon where they went to the beach and spent the afternoon playing in the waves and strolling along the beach. By five o'clock the group was terribly hungry, as usual, and moved on to the Boatworks where they ate, as their advi- sor Kerry Quilhaugh said, the best meal of their lives. From Bandon they drove to Coos Bay to see a movie. On May 31, 1985, a little before eight o'clock the seniors sat in the library ner- vously awaiting graduation. Then Mr. Rollofson came in and said, Let's go. The seniors, the girls in pink carrying pink roses and the boys in burgundy, hesitantly marched into the gym. The ceremony only lasted an hour, but it seemed like a lifetime. Salutatorian Gretchen Stauffer and Valedictorian Kelle Adamek gave their speeches, Wen- dy Click sang We've Only Just Begun , Curt Beckham delivered the Commence- ment Address, and finally Noble Ada- mek handed out the long-awaited diplo- mas. The graduated seniors then walked off the stage; and, before lining up to receive their congratulations, they all hugged each other in joy, because they had done it!

Grades tended to drop but the class managed to keep their heads above drowning level. Needless to say, they all made it!

The sophomore princess was Corrinna Stur- man who was escorted by Brian Mowe. Junior princess Kim Kerr was escorted by Victor Johnson, and Homecoming Queen Jackie Morgan was escorted by Mr. Football, Jack Lowery. The flower girl was Jennifer Morgan and the crown bearer. Tommy Letchworth. The week of Homecoming, spirit week, was devoted to dressing in the costume of that par- ticular day. Wednesday evening was the bonfire and Thursday was the float pa- rade that the seniors won. It was decided that starting this year the 7th and 8th grade would not be allowed to participate in the Homecoming coronation. But it didn't seem to dampen their spirit be- cause they actively participated in the parade and bonfire. Page 22, Bottom left: 1984 Homecoming Princess, Heidi Perkes, Corrinna Sturman, Kim Kerr.

Christ- mas party was held in the gymnasium, but it was unlike any other Christmas party before. Because the enrollment of students is so small, the party aroused more than just tradition; it has given the students a chance to grow together. And at what better time than the over flowing excitement of Christmas. The excitement grew in the gym as the long-awaited San- ta, Glen Fry, and his elfs, Chris Wass- man and Dallas Butler, marched into the gym. Gifts were presented to each person in the high school. Refreshments pro- vided by the Home Ec. class quickly van- ished. Shortly after the party finished, both the girls and the boys basketball teams boarded the bus and were on their way to the Gold Beach Christmas Tour- nament.

For Africa7' This year the National Honor Society tapped only one new member, sopho- more Kevin Adamek. It lost two senior members, Kelle Adamek, and Gretchen Stauffer. The 1985 Junior and Senior Banquet turned out a success. This year the junior class of 1985 asked some of the sophomore boys to help serve at the ban- quet. Parents' Night has become a yearly event at P.H.S. and each year it seems to get better and better. This year was no exception. The theme for Parents' Night was Born in the U.S.A. and decora- tions were all red, white and blue. The performances were well organized. A special lip-sync was organized to try and get alot of the students involved. The idea was very successful, involving at least half of the student body for We are the World ' by, U.S.A. for Africa.

Most events proved to be very successful, a car wash, chili feed, and a spagetti feed. The student body decided to use the money for a school stereo. Although the stereo could be purchased this year, we hope to see the same involvement next year to achieve the goal. Awards Night, ac- knowledges students in areas other than sports. For three years now, students have received awards for spelling, Eng- lish, science, math, history and many other areas of a student's education. On this same night students' exhibit- Sci- ence Fair projects and wood shop pro- jects to parents and the public. Awards are distributed to the various levels.

By the end of the yea they were down to twelve but still man aged to bring in about $200 with all the activities they held. They pulled together to decorate for the Junior Senior Ban- quet which turned out to be quite a suc- cess. They will probably be remembered for their tendency to play practical jokes on everyone, things like rearranging stu- dents' cars or pushing them up a bank or completely removing everything from someones' locker and putting it into a different locker. The Junior boys will es- pecially be remembered for initiating the younger boys over and over again. The Juniors started the year with $213.29 and ended the year with $250.80 because of the money they used for the Junior Sen- ior Banquet. All these students partici- pated in one or more sports activities. The athletic abilities of these impending seniors guarantee a prosporous year in all areas of sports. Class officers were Tracy Smith, President; Kim Kerr, Vice President; Sharon Rose, Secretary Trea- surer; Victor Johnson, Sergeant-at-arms; and Rick Butler, Student Council Repre- sentative.

These people show their tal- ent anywhere from creative writing skills to sports. The class worked hard this year to earn money. Through activi- ties directed by class President Kevin Adamek, they started with $196.70 and finished the year with $302.80. The soph- omore class is another good hope for a future state bount team. All the students are in sports related activities in one way or another and all show promise of being a championship winning group of ath- letes. The sophomores are divided in half. Part of the class is the quiet type while the other part is rowdy. All in all they were quite an interesting group. Page 36- Top right: Jeff watching the game intent- ly; Middle: Amy; Bottom: Kevin.

They took care of most of P.H.S's entertainment, especially during class. They were noted for their smart alecks and class clowns which made school a little less boring for every- one. Because their class was small, they had to work extra hard to make money.

Most of the freshmen participated in one sport of another and those who didn't made up for it with their spirit. Though the class is small the ability of these athletes brings great possibility of future state bount teams.

With only one returning senior, the team was forced to start the season with many first year players. The loss of Rick Fry due to a shoulder injury in the first game didn't improve their chances for a winning year. Several other key players were forced to miss part of the season due to injuries. Although the season ended without a victory, there are bright spots for the football program to look forward to. The entire team, with the exception of senior Jack Lowery, will be back next year. Many of the younger players improved a great deal over the course of the season, as did the team as a whole. With hard work and winning attitudes. Powers can again have a winning football program next year.

Their hopes were fired with the thought of five returning seniors and four juniors. At the first game of the season the misfortune of the team began. During warm ups Gretchen Stauffer, a senior starter, received an ankle injury and was put out for the majority of the season. Along with Gretchen, Tina Rus- sell and Darla Fry were also injured to- ward the beginning of the season, and unable to compete for the remainder of the season. The Cruisers began their league sea- son determined to win, but they received a big disappointment when they lost to Days Creek. They also received two losses from Elkton, but beat Days Creek on the Cruisers' home court. At the close of league play the Cruisers found them- selves in a play off position with Days Creek for second place in the league, the winner traveling to the District Tourna- ment. The Cruisers traveled to Camas Valley to challenge the Days Creek Wolves. The Cruisers played three tough, hard-fought matches, but in the end the Wolves came out on top, and the Cruiser season was brought to a disap- pointing halt.

They competed in two tourna- ments, the Oakland Tournament and the Myrtle Point Tournament. They placed first in the Oakland Tournament, which consisted of 'A' schools, the Kelle Ada- mek and Shelly Butler were named to the All Tournament Team. The Cruisers' hard play in the Myrtle Point Tourna- ment earned them an outstanding sec- ond place finish against 'AA' schools, who were either first or second place in their own league standings.

It was definitely a rebuilding year with so many young players. However the Cruisers competed well with every team in the league despite their inexperience. With the exception of seniors Jack Lowery and Kelly Johnson, the entire team will return next year. The returning players have an abundance of talent, and should be in contention for one of the top spots in the league next year.

The boys varsity is losing only one senior starter. Jack Lowery, this year, so they will be ready to battle their own league opponents for a spot to the Dis- trict and maybe State Tournament.

One of the main factors that contributed to their third place finish was injuries to a number of players on the team. Gretchen Stauffer and Tina Russell, both seniors, were un- able to compete for part of the season, and Darla Fry was unable to compete for the whole season. In league play the Cruisers won easy games against Nazarene, CBA, and Ca- mas Valley, but had trouble with Elkton and Days Creek who finished third and fourth in the state, respectively. Throughout the season Coach Greg Burton received many compliments on the play of his team, because they never gave up, the girls kept fighting and hus- tling no matter how far behind they were. Even though the 1984-85 Girls Bas- ketball Team won't be remembered for being a championship team, they will be remembered for their determination, hustle, and desire to win.

One being the consolation game of the Gold Beach Tournament. The girls were play- ing Pacific, a team they knew they should beat. The game was close, and when the buzzer went off the two teams were tied and the game went into over- time. But teams fought hard in the extra period, but the Cruisers were more deter- mined and beat Pacific to receive a 3rd place in the tournament, and to make them even more proud Shelly Butler was named to the All-Tournament Team.

We travelled to Reedsport, Pacific, Myrtle Point, and Medford. By the leage meet, in Medford, had rolled around every- body's marks had improved enough to do their competitive best. The boys' team, consisting of Kevin Adamek, Rick. Butler, Jeff Huntley, and Monte Turpin did as well as could be expected, but were outnumbered by the older, and larger teams in the league. The girls' team, Elizabeth Devoe, Stacey Feuerborn, Phaedra Kalb, Tina Russell, Corrinna Sturman, and Lalanie Sturman, overcame their small numbers to win a second place in league competition. All members from both teams went on to District in one or more events, and many recorded personal bests. For the season, Phaedra Kalb set a new school record in the javelin and Corrinna Stur- man beat her own school record in the 3000 meters.

The athletes should also be given a pat on the back for going to practice everyday, and competing well in their sport. Above all being an athlete is a fun and exciting experience.

The eighth grade will be remembered for being very unpredictable, rambunc- tious, energetic, and for abusing their favorite word, hallet.

The class under the leadership of President Jenny Quilhaugh, Vice-President Matt Shorb, Sec- retary Betsy Peterson, Treasurer Eve Puffenbarger, and Student Council Representative Ed Hayes managed to earn a total of $168.00. The seventh graders also brought a new money-mak- ing activity to P.H.S., a nacho sale during basketball games, which brought in quite a lot of money.

The girls played during November and De- cember; the boys played during January and February. The girls' team consisted of fourteen players from grades five through eight. The girls competed against teams from Myrtle Crest, Reedsport, and Camas Val- ley. The girls also had an intra-squad game. Led by seventh graders, Jenny Quil- haugh, Keri Rector, Susan Sturman and Eve Puffenbarger, the team won two games while only losing five. The team improved steadily throughout the sea- son, and next year should see a much stronger team. The boys' team consisted of ten play- ers from grades five through eight. The boys competed against Camas Valley, Myrtle Crest, Blanco, Prospect, and Cen- tral Point Christian. The team won six while losing three. The team traveled to Prospect to play in a one-day tourna- ment in mid-January. The team did not win the tournament; however, they did get a valuable lesson in mental prepara- tion. The team was led by Roy Lehnherr, Robby Kalb, Matt Shorb, Dugan Loo- ney, and Scott Henderson. Both the girls and the boys learned many things about basketball and, most important, had fun doing it. According to coach Kerry Quilhaugh, It was a very enjoyable and successful year. Page 68 - Top right: Matt Shorb; Bottom left: Keri Rector; Bottom right: Coach Kerry Quilhaugh with his team.

Again, for the second year, work- ing on the annual was an extra curricular activity, not an offered class. This took a lot of the girls' personal time. The boneweary staff consists of editor, Gretchen Stauffer, sports editor, Kelle Adamek, Karen Lee, Phaedra Kalb, Shel- ly Butler, Kim Kerr, Tracy Smith, and advisor Mary Fronk. A special thanks goes to Larry Dwyyer for his handywork and to all parents who helped us by driving the staff “ev- erywhere on ad trips. Thanks also to the photographers Glenn Gillespie, Mark Donnally, Patty Adamek, and Ker- ry Quilhaugh for taking the pictures that filled the annual.
