Principal Stan Peerboom was honored by the faculty at the end of the year for his ten years of service as principal. He is backed up by Vice-Principal Larry Wallace who is also an excellent wrestling coach but who will give up that post next year to devote all his time to the vice-principal job. Secretary Amy Busack was unfortunately ill much of the year and the staff did not have a picture of her to put in the book. She was ably replaced by her daughter Miss Marilyn Busack. Fortunately Mrs. Busack was able to return at the end of the year. Vice-Principal Larry Wallace runs the office. Principal Stan Peerboom has been on the job ten years. 7 At T cmni3£ School 8 Faculty Presents “Teacher Of The Year” Contest 'You know once when I was a kid way back when . . .” says Mr. Allen. You want to change your schedule again? groans Mr. Anderson. The 1973-74 school year saw the addition of six new teachers to our faculty: Mrs. Jan Stauffer (Busi- ness Education and Home Economics), Mr. Jim Baird (Business Education), Mrs. Anne Romey (Reading Intern), Mr. Richard Lance (Instrumental Music Intern), Miss Kay Beck (Science), and Mr. Mike Smithey (Social Studies and Science). The men on the faculty formed a winning basket- ball team and took first place in the Community Schools tournament. The men also formed a base- ball team and played a losing game against the varsity team (6-5). The group seemed a bit more social this year as they met in each others homes for a Mexican Dinner, a Spaghetti Feed, an unveiling of a painting, and a salmon bake. The year ended with another great faculty variety show— to choose the teacher of the year. A very close decision gave the honors to Mike Smithey for his costume and violin talent. Teachers were judged for talent, beauty, and intelligence. The show also fea- tured a folk singing group and a jug band. Mr. Smithey received an expense paid trip to Goble to a workship on teaching the twisted mind. Enough money was raised for three scholarships. This being Stan Peerboom’s tenth year as princi- pal of the Rainier High School, a plaque was pre- sented to him at a reception after school with cake and coffee in recognition of his dedicated service. ‘This is my green ‘plant-growing’ thumb grins Miss Beck. t 9 Mr. Baird takes time out for a picture. I saw that, says Mrs. Chase. “D . . . E . . . F . . . uh now what? thinks Mr. Clore to himself. Alright fall in! says Miss Cook. % Now if you are going to throw paper you have to do it right. Let me show you how demonstrates Mr. Davidson. If I've told you once I've told you a hundred times, after three strikes you are OUT! explains Mr. Doumit. Oooh I wish you hadn't put that tack on my chair, says Mrs. Farrar. Yes it is a nice day isn't it, agrees Mr. Fisher. 1 I i 11 All those rumors you have heard about speech meets are ... absolute- ly uh false! says Mrs. Harris. Maybe next year I will stand up for my picture says Miss lensen. Kayaks are for kids and teachers says Mr. Humphrey. 'Oops! You caught me reading ‘Freddy the Pig’ for Children’s Lit.” admits Mrs. Hunnicutt Oh no. I’m not letting you take my picture again!” says Mr. Mason. 12 For the last time, do you confess? asks Mr. Muck. yr nmM®k Master, Master, it's done, it's done, says Mr. Rankin. “Come down and sit on our bean bag chair!” invites Mrs. Romey. Shame on you, you said you wouldn’t do that any more,” scolds Mr. Perry. Social Studies can be fun! thinks Mr. Roth. 13 O.K. now get this straight! We are putting our chairs up quietly today or else, threatens Mr. Smithey. I'll make you an offer you can't refuse! bargains Mrs. Stauffer. 14 I said three-four not four-four you idiot! says Mr. Weast. When you're number two you try harder! says Mr. Wheatley. 15 Maintenance Personnel Unfortunately the Emeraude pho- tographers were unable to get pictures of all the maintenance personnel in the high school for this edition. Some of those not pictured were Lee Williams, Mrs. Robinson and cooks, Louise Cow- an and Betty Brown. All of these people work very hard all year long to keep the school running and the stu- dents and teachers comfortable. 16 Bob Peterson and maintenance man, Ruben Ollila pull up pipes. organizations 17 Student Council Gives Two Scholarships The 1973-74 ASB was led by President John Todd, Vice President Roger Werth, Secretary Nancy Foshaug, Treasurer Dixie Tofte, and Business Manager Nancy Blunk. Early in the year the Student Council created a curriculum council. This council was made up of ten students who met regularly with the faculty and discussed problems the students have. The Student Council also sponsored Homecoming. Student Council gave out two S50.00 scholarships to two seniors who have shown leadership throughout their high school years. They went to Kathy Ostrand and Barry Bergman. Student Council in session. f 18 Student Council members listen intently. New Honor Society In Diapers Front row: M. Cramer, L. Bonser, J. Gorthy, L.

Later in the year Sheridan came to Rainier for an exchange concert. This is Mr. Weast's last year teaching at Rainier. As he would say, “They had a gas!” Another long drawn out band practice. J.

At the be- ginning of the year the choir sold candy making it possible for them to give two scholarships for $75.00. The Chamber Choir performed at the Columbia River Gorge Jazz Festival. At the spring con- cert the sextet, quartet, and swing choir sang. During May they went around sing- ing at the different grade schools in the District. During April they had their District Mass Festival. The Cowapa League Mass Festival was held in Tillamook during April also. Altogether they had a fun and fulfilling year. 26 SEXTET: K. Ostrand, T.

Their presi- dent was Barry Bergman along with vice-president, Alvin Elbert; secretary, John Todd; and treasurer, Mike Gorthy. The RAC advisor was Mr. Dan Wheat- ley, he helped the boys with their new constitution. The club sold Columbian jackets all through the year. This was one way for the students to show their school spirit at the games. They sold refreshments at some of the basketball games and also got lettermen’s jackets and sweaters. Mr. Wheatley Advisor 28 Journalism Has Small Staff L. Hughes getting pages of the paper finished. The 1973-74 Journalism II class has changed some things this year. Instead of putting the Columbian out every three weeks, they started publishing it every two weeks. This seemed to go over well with the Student Body. Also instead of typing the paper like last year they started to use news- print. This made the paper much easier to read, and improved the looks of the paper. On April 5-7 the staff and advisor, Mr. Fisher, went to the West Coast Fifth Annual National Scholastic Press Association in San Francisco. While they were there, they did more than just go to the convention, they did some sight-seeing. Some of the things they saw were Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, Ghiradelli Square, and Grace Cathedral. They made the trip by bus. The staff seemed to enjoy themselves very much this year. D. Tofte going through Mr. Fisher’s secret papers? K. Ostrand, Editor, Not like that!'

Only eight turned out for the drill team, but they performed as if they were a hundred strong. The girls put in many hours of school time practice every day as well as many night practices after school and morning practices too. The girls made up their own routines. They worked hard and performed at many of the home basketball games. Mrs. Pat Worden was the advisor. Even though only a few girls turned out for the drill team this year, next year should be much better. Front row: J. Reed, C. Crowston, C. Williams, T. Ellis. Back row: L. Bickmore, K. Nelson, C.

This year's yearbook class had a lot of problems to cope with such as meet- ing their deadlines, staff members gradua- ting early, and losing things. The staff earned money by having a candle sale during the Christmas season. In the fall they solicited ads from the various busi- ness establishments around town and made more money from that than any yearbook staffs in previous years. A special thanks goes to Cindy Johnstun and Darcy Denton for the many long hours of hard work they spent after school was out finishing up the Yearbook. 32 N. Foshaug typing up a copy. Boogie With The Columbians Homecoming week of 1973-74 began Monday morning with the crowning of Queen Donna Lovell and Mr. Football Alvin Elbert. Tuesday was Freshman Logger Day” where students showed their spirit by wearing their flannel shirts and suspend- ers. Wednesday the Sophomores added to the spirit by having Hats off to the Columbians’ Day”. The Juniors came up with Little Kid’s Day which captured many students who enjoyed licking their lollipops, swinging their pig-tails, and carry- ing their stuffed animals. Friday the Seniors had The Fabulous Fifties . Everyone got in to the swing of things in their wool skirts, bobby socks, and pony tails. Tuesday night was the powderpuff game between the Sophomore and Seniors. The final score, made possible from a safety by the Seniors, was 2-0. Thursday night the annual Bonfire and Games were held. Friday the Columbians suffered a defeat from the Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates. Also due to circumstances the Homecoming Dance was not held.

Ege, and J. Todd, in a scene from Lost Horizon . The Rainier Players presented three plays this year: “Boys and Ghouls Together”, “Lost Horizon , and Just Ducky”. The first play presented was “Boys and Ghouls Together”. In this story we find hostelers biking through Europe. When they come to one of the hostels they are to stay at, they find it inhabited by all sorts ot ghoulish characters; Count Dracula, (Bill Crawford) for one. The plot finds Count Dracula and his wife, (Jerri McDonald), trying to marry their daughter Dirga, (Chris McDonald), off to one of the hostelers. Buddy Ford (Bob Ege). But the plan is spoiled when Dirga’s true love Marvelini (John Todd) comes along. Others in the cast included: Melody Lott, Michelle Lott, Larry Hill, Ron Moen, Nancy Foshaug, Ken Ege, Darcy Denton, Deanna Todd, Deidre Enyeart, and Les Clark. In the second play, “Lost Horizon” is told the story of Shangri-La, where you never grow old. The plot tells of some English people in Shangri- La, Mallinson, (Bob Ege) who wants to leave and Conway, (John Todd) who wants to stay. The story ends leaving you wondering what did happen. Others in the cast included: Deidre Enyeart, Chris McDon- ald, Jerri McDonald, Darcy Denton, Leonard Kelley, Larry Hill, Melody Lott, Ken Ege, John Butcher, Lonny Welter, Deanna Todd, and Chris Curtis. The third and final play of the year presented was, Just Ducky” or “Girls Will Be Girls”. In this play two fourteen year old girls, (Nancy Foshaug and Deanna Todd), write a letter to Love Lorn col- umnist Fuddy Dutty, Miss Blayne (Diane Rolf). Miss Blayne, taking the letter to heart, decides to get involved, and what a commotion it leads to. Mr. Maxwell (Bill Crawford ) just being chosen as a new head of the citizens committee, because of his fine upstanding family, makes a pass at Miss Blayne. Worse leads to worse and we even have a plea of insanity. Others in the cast included: Melody Lott, Bob Enge, Larry Hill, Michelle Lott, Darcy Denton, Judd Langworthy, Bob Webb, and Ron Moen. 59 D.

Though there was a break in tradition, with the Prom being held on a Monday night, the turn out was excellent. The stage was set up for the rock band. Lime, which was good, and for the introduction of King and Queen. Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Jim Baird, did the intro- duction of the court and the announcement that Jerry Rea and Mariane McGlone had been named King and Queen of the 1973-74 Prom.

After disposing of Philomath 18-12 and Ridgefield 12-8 they lost their first game to Washougal. They finished the season with 4 wins and 5 losses. The height of the season was when the Mighty Columbians dumped the Clatskanie Tigers 46 to 0. We are proud of our team, they show promise and a very strong future. Rainier's offense plowing through.

Off to a good start this year the team suffered several late season losses. One girl moved away at the end of the season and the weather at the games was often cold and wet. Despite all these disappointments the girls rooted with all their might for the team and never let down even when the team fell behind. The varsity cheerleaders perform a half time pom pon routine.

Football team suffered many disap- pointments this season. They started the season with a disappointing loss to R. A. Long, but this didn't destroy our valiant Junior Varsity Columbians. They came back and fought a tough, physical game against the Seaside Seagulls, and tied them 6 to 6. As confidence and execution developed they beat a tough Castle Rock team. Rainier's future is in some real good hands. Now who'd you say we're playing?1 Phil Scott evading Castle Rock tackier. I .1. I Back row: E. Jeckel, I. Kelley, L. Puckett, P. Scott, B. Shaw, R.

They finished the season at the State AA tournament in the championship round. Their overall record was 21 wins and 5 losses. In regular league play they finished first in the Cowapa League with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses. By placing second in the State Tournament, the mighty Columbians brought a much needed lift in pride and spirit both to the school and the community. Although we are sad to see Coach Wheatley leave us next fall, he can depart knowing his final year at Rainier was successful and he took us to State, giving Rainier something to be proud of. Look here it comes! says Greg Brown. Bade rote: Coach Wheatley, B. West, M. Gorthy, G. Brown, D. Coffman, D. Nesbitt, T. Larson, Asst. Coach Davidson. Front row: R. Werth, ). Keith K Kea, K.

V. tournament at Clatskanie by defeating Kelso and R. A. Long, early in the season. Though the team suffered some losses in the tough league campaign, they showed talent and deter- mination throughout the season. Many of the members of this year's team, coached by Mr. Dennis Davidson, will move up to help out the varsity next year. Lloyd Clark goes for the ball under the basket. Jerry Keith jumps for the ball. Terry Bogardus up for the shot. 62 Cheerleaders At State The Cheerleaders perform at half for the crowd. Rainier’s basketball team went to state in Eugene this year and of course the rally went along with them. The girls with the help of some of the mothers, in particular Mrs. Barbara Wheatley, worked very hard to help the team go all the way. The last game for the championship was a great effort. The girls had balloons of all colors and pennants for Rainier's faithful. Even though the team came in second. Rainier boosters could be very proud of the team, the rally and themselves. D. Hansen and D. Enyeart caught in mid-ieap. The Cheerleaders always had a hoop for the players to come through. The girls kept Rainier rooters alive at games. Sophomores Gain Experience This year was the first year for the Sophomore Basketball team. Mr. Pryor, the P.E. teacher from Delena, spent many hours coach- ing the fourteen Sophomores who turned out. Mr. Pryor received no pay for coaching these kids other than the pride of having a winning team. Their league record was 8 wins and 2 losses to Seaside and Neah-Kah-Nie. Fourteen players is a lot for one team so they split into three separate teams, each team playing 2 minutes and 40 seconds each quarter. The Sophomores were a strong and hard playing team. They seemed to be very aggressive since they excelled in the field of technical fouls. They took first place in the Cowapa League. The leading scorers were Jim Coffman followed closely by Martin King. “Hey look over here!' Front row: B. West, J. Coffman, K. Rea, T. Winters, K. Self, P. Davis, B. Pickett. Second row: T.

The Frosh had a good season of learn- ing and gaining experience. They learned a great deal about basketball from Coach Burnett and though they had some tough losses to Longview teams they still came up with a 10 and 12 record overall. The team had some excellent talent and were in practically every game despite a lack of height. These young men should add greatly to the varsity and junior varsity teams next year. D.

Though young they performed very well and should be strong when they move up to the varsity in future years. Also of great help to the wres- tling team were the six girls who were the statisticians. Besides keeping stat- istics, they also announced matches, ran clocks, took pictures and kept everything running smoothly. K. Bledsoe on top and on the way to a state championship. L.

Track Team Sends Three To State The track team had a very rewarding season this year. Great improvement was shown in many of the new members and the returning runners. The team did not score any great victories due to the lack of depth. At each meet the team came home with a number of firsts, but could not rack up the seconds and the thirds needed for a team victory. This year the team sent 17 members to the district meet, which was held at Lewis and Clark College in Port- land. The team had a number of people place, but only three placed high enough to go to the state meet in Eugene. The three members qualifying for the state meet were: Mario Montalvo in the javelin, Mike Gorthy in the broad jump, and Jerry Rea in the two-mile. Three school records were set this year. They were: the triple jump, set by Labo Radies with a jump of 41' 10-1 2”; the broad jump set by Labo Radies with a jump of 22'1-3 4”; and the two-mile set by Jerry Rea with a time of 9:51.6. Mario Montalvo won the district championship in the javelin with a throw of 177 feet. Jerry Rea set new school record in the two-mile, with a time of 9:51.6. Mike Gorthy qualified for state in the broad jump by placing sec- ond at district with a jump of 20 1”. 70 Jerry Keith, varsity sprinter, racks up points Keith Self, Sophomore half-miler. in the 220.

The banquet was preceded by a game between the Varsity Baseball Team and the Faculty, which ended with the Varsity winning in a close game of 6 to 5. The spirits of the crowd which gathered for the picnic-like afair were dampened when it started to rain, but almost every- one stayed to see awards given to the baseball, boys’ and girls’ track teams. Special awards were given out to many of the athletes including some very beau- tiful home made” trophies made by John Doumit, the J.V. Baseball Coach and Ag. Teacher.

Although it came in the later part of the season, it did come. And it followed our team to State. And at State they beat many of the top ranked teams in Oregon, such as Dayton and Doug- las. Yet in the end we had to settle for second place. In the final game we were defeated by the Cascade Cougars. Congratulations to the team. And a special thanks and good luck note to the three graduating seniors, Greg Brown, Dan Coffman, and Mike Gorthy. We would also like to say thank you to Coach Wheatley who is moving to LaGrande, Ore- gon. Again thank you Coach Wheatley and the Rainier Columbians for taking us to State and show- ing us the true meaning of spirit and pride. Coach Wheatley and the team plan the strategy necessary to conquer Dayton. Coach Wheatley and team accept State tokens. The end of a long hard climb. A more painful moment at State. G. Brown and M.

OPPONENT The Girls’ Basketball team had a very good first season. Despite inexperience and a young squad consisting mainly of sophomores and freshmen, the girls split with every other team in the league, thus, forcing a four way tie for the championship.

Many seniors, however, graduated at the end of the first, second or third nine weeks. This tends to change the make-up of the class and limits class participation in projects. Many seniors garnered honors or awards at graduation and most seemed glad to have gone through RHS but they also seemed to be happy to be ex-Columbians. So Long Seniors. D. Tofte . . .

The number of awards seemed to be larger than ever and there were a number of happily surprised graduates. Afterwards, out in the hall, everyone was congratulating everyone else and many proud parents stood with their grad- uated son or daughter.

The class officers were Deidre Enyeart, Pres- ident; Cindy Johnstun, Vice President; Marie Jenson, Secretary; and Lori Patching, Treasurer. They made over $600.(DO alone in the concession stand. The hot drinks were a welcome relief from the rain and cold. Sundance provided the music for Sadie Hawkins. Everyone attending enjoyed the music and the dance. The theme of the Junior Prom was “Nights in White Satin . It was held in the Montecello Ball- room in Longview. The prom was a success although there were many sleepy faces the next day at school.

Sophomores The Sophomore class really struck out this year in showing great Spirit. They held the spirit stick more times than any other class or organ- ization, and were always willing to go all out to help the cheerleaders with their yells. This class showed talent in many areas, such as in choir, band, speech, and athletics. Which they proved a great asset in all, and also to im- prove themselves greatly. Over all it was a good year for the sopho- mores, one which was fun and which they learned a lot. In the following two years they should prove of great help in many areas.

This project was a prelude to the larger money making projects which the class will have towards future years. TheFrosh athletic teams showed great prowess this year having successful seasons in football and basketball! They also participated in cross country and wrestling. Rainier athletics should be on the upswing in future years if these freshmen continue to participate. The freshmen also participated in the choir, band and F.F.A., and showed excellent spirit at pep assemblies. This class should be a great addition to the high school in the coming years.
