Don Sanford and Debbie Holmes were crowned Mr. Football and Queen. Don and Debbie and the other court members reigned over Homecoming Week. The spirit showed throughout the school when many students and teachers dressed up. Tuesday was class dress up day as the Juniors took the top prize. Wednesday was Fifties Day followed by a sock hop after school. That night the powderpuff game was held. The score was seniors and sophomores over juniors and freshmen, 19-6. Thursday night was the annual bonfire. Friday a lot of things happened, such as; Green and White dress up, a pep assembly, a parade, the game and then the dance. The game was against Neah- kah-nie and we won 48-20. The players, cheerlesders, band and spirit made the week great! Don and Debbie smile for the camera.

The Mythology and Folklore class did a fine job this year, except for one thing, they forgot to buy the onions for the onion eating contest, so instead they had apples (better for keeping friends anyway). Other events were belly bumping, raw egg eating, staff fighting, arm wrestling, leg wrestling, wine drinking, the obstacle course, and chariot races. Overall contest winners were the Mr. Woodmark introduces the Myth and Folklore class. Randy Tombleson, Gary Scmuck. Neal Johnson, and Brad Wagner show how to eat raw eggs. Dennis Yeoman and Yul Provancha battle it out. Senior Tea On May 16th the annual Senior Tea was held. Many girls participated in helping to get things ready and in running the tea. Lugene Gamble, Girls’League’s new Vice- President, organized the tea with the help of the advisors, Miss Beard and Mrs. Stauffer. Due to their hard work everything went very smoothly. Things went very well, commented Miss Beard. How did I get into this, thinks Leigh Ann Robinson, one of the models at the tea. Brenda and Terri sit in amazement. The Moonshadows performing at the tea. Dances Since last year many things have changed about the dances at K.H.S. With our new school we had a new place for dancing. Most of the dances were held in the gym; one put on by the Girls League and the Prom. To protect the floor most dances were not held in the gym. At all the dances there were good turnouts and many people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Sometimes it was even too crowded to dance. The group FIAR played at a couple dances and seemed to be well liked. The new Disco music at many of the dances was met with mixed reaction by Rainiers dance goers.Soon a disco dance P.E. class was started and students learned all kinds of dances which they were able to show-off at the dances. These changes took a little time to get used to but now everything is running well. I'm a pickin' and a grinnin', exclaims Chris deVries. Check me out. says Yul Prouancha. 15 The 1978-79 Victory Dance. Vi ti The juniors had new advisors this year. Mr. Rick Cameron and Mrs. Linda Twedt did a fantastic job of making the prom a success. The band Dreamer performed at the prom and was liked by many. Many congratulations go to the junior class and advisors for working hard to give the seniors a super prom. Prom Lighted walkways, lowered ceilings, stages and lots of hard work highlighted this years prom. The theme was Wonderful Tonight, with blue, baby blue and silver as colors. There was also something special about this years prom; it was held in the gym. The gym was very beautiful as it was decorated with streamers and foil stars. 17 Chaperones show their kids how to disco. What can I say; I'm a SENIOR says Don Standon. 18 Wishing well made by David Dawkins for decorations. Queen Marlene asks, Do you want a doughnut?

With Mrs. Harris as their advisor a lot got done. Robyn Hansen and Rhonda Holmes were voted captains of the varsity and J. V. squads respectively. The girls did many things during the year, things such as going to a cheerleading clinic, fund raising projects, a slumber party in the commonsand had food for the athletes after practice. There were always cheerleaders at all the home events. 1978-79 Varsity Winter Rally, back row: Captain Robyn Hansen. Middle: Julie Clark. Shereen Proper. Julie Norman. Front: Audrey Cramer.

At the start of the season they lost a couple of games hut, from there on they started to win. The team looked promising and they did make it to the league playoffs but, unfortunately finished fourth. The team was coached by Mrs. Linda Quartly who had some very talented girls on the team including Lori Larson and Annette Welter who both made first team all-league.

New uniforms and starting practice in February helped them place first in league and second in state. The close team was led by seven seniors who will be missed next year. Mr. Doumit says, The 1979 team was very special because of the special people on it, they are not only winners in baseball, but wiiners in life. The statisticians were Brenda Bennett, Sandra Andrews and Kirsi Siltala. The results at state were excellent: Rainier beat Vale 3-1, Gladstone 3-2, Phoenix 3-0 but, lost to South Umpqua 6-1 to place second. 'Team work is the key to a great hall club.

Jay Vee Baseball The number of players is not important when your ability is a$ good as the J. V. team’s was this year. Their coaches have a lot of hope for a great varsity team in the future. Coach Robison’s evaluation of them was that if they could get rid of the inconsistency in their playing, they could turn out to be an excellent ball club. Robison also said,”They’ve got to realize their potentials Their statisticians were Marcella Guisinger and Charlene Glaze.

Gene Mills placed sixth in the Shot Put and Sue Hanneman, at state for the fourth year in a row, placed fourth in the 400 meters. Todd Wasser placed fifth in the High Jump and broke the school record. The coaches of the team were Mr. Davies, head coach, and assistants, Mr. Rankin, Mrs. McCoy, and Mr. Walt. They shared coaching duties and helped each other out. Miss Jensen was the statistician and her help was greatly appreciated by everyone. With a large number of returning letttermen, both the Girls and Guys9 teams should be tough next year. Todd Wasser breaks the school record with a jump of 6' 4 . Andy Hale clears eleven feet.

F.B.L.A. in its fifth year took its first major trip to Seattle for the Western Regionals Conference in the fall. Lots of fund raising activities were planned -throughout the year to pull them out of their $650 debt. They held cake raffles, Valentine raffles, sold doughnuts and totaled their earnings to $1000. Not bad for a club consisting of ten members. Advisor Mrs. Stauffer that F.B.L.A.'s purpose is to develop leadership qualities and have fun . The officers were: Linda Ordahl, President; Robert Ordahl, Vice-President; Shirley Presswood, Historian; Jenny Bunker, Secretary; and Sheri Miller, Treasurer. No Jenny, you can't throw that pie at Mr. Burnett! says Mrs. Stauffer. .i fi |bFij? ' . j V , I don't know why, Keith, wonders Kim Kealiher, but, every time I close my eyes, 1 keep seeing cakes.

You don't even know what you’re doing. laughs Robert Ordahl to Tammy Hook. 63 Student Council always has been a vital part of our school. Meetings with the student body has kept Rainier moving smoothly. Planning and organization is the main key to make student council operate and President Lori Larson did just that. But we can't forget Mr. Anderson who helps them with his wisdom and experience. They all deserved thanks and a lot of credit for doing a fantastic job. Officers were: PresidentLori Larson Vice-President-Debbie Holmes Secretary-Carri Triplett Treasurer-Annette Welter Business Manager-Marlene Dawkins Student Council This meeting gives me indigestion, moans Mr. Anderson. 64 Woes my hair look like Farrah's? wonders Norma Montgomery. Journalism Do you know the way to San Jose? Well, we found it! At approximately eight o'clock in the morning on April 12th, six of The Colum bian 's officers left for the national J.E.A. convention in San Jose. Cheryl Elbert, editor; Gina Smith, assistant editor; Audrey Cramer, photographer; Annette Welter, business manager; Becky Obermeier, entertainment editor; and Linda Ordahl, the Exchange editor all paved the way to San Jose, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz for work, fun and sun! Great changes were made in this year's paper through a new copysetting machine and printing press established in the Graphics department of our new school. Every two weeks the paper came out, which was a lot of work for the staff and advisor Da ve Woodmark, but despite all the changes and work, it was a lot of fun for everyone. This class is making me crazy! Kathy Blair and Linda Ordahl working on a layout. Moo-la, money, more to spend in San Jose, hey! smiles 'Woody' to himself. If you think you're going crazy, Becky.

Everyone helped each other and gave encouraging pushes throughout the year. From a car wash to selling ads and books, the staff worked very hard, while Mr. Rankin built a portable darkroom for the classroom. Someone call my name, asks Mr. Rankin. Commander Shirley Hobson works for You think I'm having fun? Actually it's a pain in the back, aw 1 e- groans Bob Thomas. Say cheese everyone, oh, and hi Gene. 1 Han't you dare. pleads Pam.

'Pardon me but, your stepping on my eyeball, cries Julie Norman. 71 Concert Choir All right everybody settle down,” says Mr. Prothero trying to calm the class. Oh no!

Bill Buol, and...says Mr. Prothero. A round of applause to everyone for their hard work and tired voices. They appeared many times from the Winter Concert to the Newport Jazz Festival. Brian Samples feels that it is totally Steve Prothero's fault for Swing Choir's outstanding improvement. He has really put a lot of time and effort into it. He is super. Establishing a basic understanding of popular music styles while promoting good public relations for Rainier High School by their performances, is how Mr. Prothero describes the purpose of Swing Choir.

Concert Band A fantastic winter concert December 14. a great performance at the Cowapa League Festival in April, and an outstanding entry at the Loyalty Day parade at Long Beach. Washington in May were just a few of the exciting accomplishments of this year's concert band. President Charlene Wolfe kept the band in step throughout the year. At Homecoming the band did a special tribute to the music in Saturday Night Fever . They played at home football and basketball games and even made a special trip with the volleyball team when they went to state. The band's secretary was Berdie Ferdon who did an excellent job. and Adviser Tim Crepeau did an outstanding job, particularly in the continuing development of the marching band.

Listen Rick, says Craig, just because your parents have a Mexican restaurant, doesn t mean you can take a siesta every five minutes! Jay Anderson plays the Trombone. Stage Band Stage Band exists to fulfill the desires of musicians in the school who would like to be involved in a jazz-rock oriented group. Being in the stage band eventually leads students to become more proficient due to the fact that each of the instrumentalists must carry parts by themselves. This is in contrast to concert band where four or five musicians may carry one part. Throughout the year stage band participated in four major festivals: the Kelso Jazz Festival, Clark College Jazz Festival, Columbia Gorge Jazz Festival (at Stevenson, Washington in March), and at the Columbia Basin Jazz Festival (at Pasco, Washington in April). Rainier placed well at these festivals with a second and third at Stevenson and Pasco and had some of the best soloists in the Cowapa League: Senior Dwight Vigoren on Tenor Sax, Junior Brian Underhill on Piano, and Junior Chris deVries on Electric Guitar. Mr. Crepeau directs while Dwight Vigoren stuns the audience with another Tenor Sax solo. 78 Mastermind Brian Underhill in a pensive mood. Okay Clay bosses Paul.”you play this part and I'll listen to see if you did it right. The entire stage band caught in a stage performance. Dwight Vigoren taking his music seriously. 79 F.L.C. I wish these bugs would stop moving, they tickle. Sheri Miller thinks. Nosotros hablamous Espanol- Nous parlons FVancais. Foreign Language Club is made up of students who are taking Spanish or French. Since F.L.C. is new, Mrs. TWedt, the advisor, and officers are getting the form of the club ironed out. Selling candy was the main money raising activity, not just any candy but, foreign candy imported from Switzerland. That money will be used for some club activity in the future, Mrs. Twedt explained. Learning and teaching a foreign language is hard but, it can be fun and it seems like Mrs. TVvedt is enjoying the challenge. In this one candy bar there are350calories, absolutely no vitamins but. delicious taste, describes Mrs. Twedt. I just love the way Shereen combs her hair, admires Gina Smith. Lori Larson hits a spike. W.A.C. W.L.C. represents women's athletics at Rainier High School. Girls who participate in Track, Volleyball, Basketball or Cross Country are eligible for membership. The officers were: Sue Hanneman, President; Gwyn Welter, Vice-President; Cheryl Hegedus, Secretary; and Jeana Provancha, Treasurer. The purpose of the club was to support the growth of women's athletics in our school. grins Loretta Elbert. Sue Hanneman and Val Counts just lying around. 81 82 'SHUT UP!!! I am smiling.

Yes, the class succeeded though she was halfway there already. She contributed much time and effort to the speech students to help them do well. The students placed well at district which was held in Rainier this year. Matt McClung took first and Chris Elbert took third in B Oxford. Sue Beck took a first in Humorous Dramatic Interp while Sandi Taylor placed third in Serious Interp and Mark McCowan got a third in Extemp.

Hey look Rhonda Dasher, we're on Candid Camera, says Gary finding the camera. Wrestling Club I'm proud of the way the Rainier Wrestlers participate in one of the best wrestling clubs in the state, quotes head coach and advisor Dan Jacobson. This year the wrestling club grew considerably with the management of the student store. Money to run the club was rarely a problem. The wrestlers sold almond roca and gym shorts,held a Homecoming chili feed and later a speghetti feed. They purchased a sound system for the wrestling room and a mat light for the gym. The club also sponsered the Rainier kid wrestling program which registered about fifty young participants. The kids wrestled matches throughout December, January and February. After five years the iniciation of the Rainier Wrestling Hall of Fame took place, in which, each year that a student wrestles, he receives bigger and better awards and opportunities. The officers running the club were: President, Dale Krzmarzik; Vice-President, Baron Tracey; and Secretary-Tresurer, Brandon Masterson. The other two advisors were, coach Dave Woodmark and coach Mike Ward. Say, you wanted a V-8? guestions Bruce M. working in the student store. Did you call me? asks Jim Bess. 86 Roger B.,David P„ and Martin E. listening attentively during a lunch hour wrestling club meeting. Randy T. ready to take another bite.

The year started well with the group selling candy to make money. Unfortunately they did not make enough money through the year and were forced to cancel a trip to Ashland to see the Shakespearean plays put on there. Advising Honor Society were Mrs. Hunnicutt, Mr. Ward and Mr. Humphrey. They worked hard at keeping the club going and together. The officers were: Jeff Juckel, President; Cheryl Elbert, Secretary; Saundra Anderson, Treasurer; and Laura Provancha, Student Council Representative. In February Honor Society initiated its new members by dragging them down to the commons for sundaes and charades. Newly chosen members were each assigned a charade for others to guess(Chuck Blair became a 'woman in labor'). When spring rolled around, N.H.S. members traveled to Rockaway, Oregon for a weekend. Everyone reportedly had a great time. This was their last main event of the year. Hey! says Sue Hanneman. I don't think we should do that. These meetings are so boring. thinks Shereen Proper to herself. 88 Marlene Dawkins and Todd Wasseron their way to a lunch hour N.H.S. meeting. Laura Provancha. Mary Anderson and Valerie Counts pose for a picture. Peek-a-boo, I see you, laugh Cheryl and Annette. I got you now, Shereen! smiles Kirsi Siltala to herself.

Girls’ League With Valograms, a slumber party, the state convention, the Father-Daughter Banquet, Halloween and Christmas parties, and Big and Little sisters, the girls at Rainier High School have been very busy.

You re no longer a lowly frosh but, you haven’t fully made it till you’re a junior. This years sophomores responded well to the challenge and proved themselves to be a valuable and heard-from class. Their class spirit was heard from at pep assemblies and they put on a car wash and a dance to raise money. They also participated successfully in a number of sports and other activities.

Every man, woman and child will use a tree this year. A pretty good-size tree, too. For everything from pan- eling to toilet tissue. To- gether, these wood products add up to a tree 20 inches in diameter and 100 feet tall. That's why our High Yield Forestry program is so im- portant. We're making sure future generations have the same easy access to wood and wood products that we have today. Unlike coal or oil, wood is a renewable resource. Prop- er management and long- range planning are vital in assuring a dependable supply. We planted 190 million trees on our lands nationwide in 1976 alone. Because we want you to be able to enjoy our forestlands forever. With- out giving up grocery sacks, building materials, pencils or fire logs. Weyerhaeuser. We're here to stay. And so are the trees.
