Eric Jahr and Noah Hale show that it can be fun eating school lunch. A majority of the students ate lunch in the cafeteria. Colleen Hovey and Meredith Hovey relax on the stairway during lunch. This is a popular place when it’s nice outside. Students wait for buses. A large part of student life seemed to be waiting. Marc Johnson drums away at a pep assembly. Another part of student life was the assemblies to promote school spirit. Students enjoy themselves at an after game dance. Dances, club activities, and sporting events were the major social activities. The senior class yells during a pep assembly. Determining the ‘‘loudest” and most spirited class was a usual pep assembly activity. £cIwoi Actu rffy (Mm Actu titeA Susan Nelson, Amanda Hilsenhoff. Jeri LeSollen, and Robin Raudsep share a few minutes before heading to an after-school workout for cross country. Relaxing and chatting with friends in the commons before school, between classes and after school was one of the other activities students found enjoyable — particularly when the snack bar was open after school. Lizzie Price. Shawna Hadlock. Tiffani Mason, and Shawna Anderson use the back stairway as a place to bask in the afternoon sun. This was one of the other activities engaged in by many students on sunny fall and spring days during the tour through the year. Kirt Johnson and Bill Roberts participated in trap shooting outside of school. Both are members of the U.S. Junior Olympic Team and competed at the international level. Kirt earned a gold medal in Mexico this year, and Bill captured a bronze medal in Russia. The fall and winter salmon runs attracked many students to the beachs near Dibbly Point. Roy Keene spends a Saturday morning trying his luck. Oha mm fjeat of E ngiulo rhis was the last year that stu- dents could graduate with only 3 credits of English. Beginning next year, Rainier's English depart- ment will require 4 years of English to graduate. This was also the first year that col- lege prep English programs were of- fered for both juniors and seniors. These were in addition to the regular and remedial English classes. The C. P. classes stressed reading of classics and writing expository style while the regular classes dealt with entertain- ment level reading and practical writing skills. There are other classes outside the standard English that students are in- volved in such as Drama. Journalism, Speech and Yearbook. Drama classes are offered to any student willing to put out an effort to act. In these classes students studied several different tech- niques of acting and spent a lot of time outside of the classroom working on plays and better ways of acting. Jour- nalism, on the other hand, is a class to teach students how to put a newspa- per together. This is the second suc- cessful year that Rainier has put out a paper, after not having a paper for two years. Another class in the English department was competitive speech. In this class students wrote and pre- sented a variety of speechs in competi- tion. Vicki Horn and Wendy Johnson defended thier title and repeated as state champions in debate while they led the speech team to a second place finish in state competition. Yearbook was another alternative to English for some of the students. This class had the responsibility of produc- ing a record of the school year in the Emeraude. Andy Nelson talks with English student teacher Mrs. Shelia Wills, while Sandy Blankenship tries to listen in and Stacey Bolden sneaks into the picture Brian Edmison. a freshman, sits comfortably reading in Mark Schmidt's English class.

It also offered all students a chance to obtain a certified CPR card from the Red Cross after an extensive unit was taught on CPR and emergency procedures. Mental health was also studied. Students learned about the causes of peer pressure, stress, an- ger, and how to deal with them all on a daily basis. Health was not just a class to teach the student about himself physical- ly, it taught the student how to better himself as a whole. Many students found P. E to be a wel- come change of pace from the regular classroom schedule. It gave them a chance to improve their physical abilities and to get into better shape through use of Rainiers great P.E. facilities such as baseball fields, a swimming pool, basket- ball courts, and a weight room. Students could chose from many different P.E. ac- tivities. Sean Clark thrusts on Resusa-Annie's chest as Mike Hagen checks for si;gns of breathing. Car- dio-pulmmary resuscitation was one of the self- help skills taught in safety class. Mrs Ouartly attentively checks Julie Boursaw's pulse as she pumps the exercise bicycle in he- lath class. This was one means students learned for determining their physical condition. Marry Humphrey stretches hard to return a val- ley ball during a game in P. E. class. Besides play- ing volleyball they also played soccer and flag football in the fall sports and conditioning class. Students spent alternate days playing fall sports and lifting weights as a conditioning program They kept track of their progress and develop- ment during the semester. 4 Brad Ryan shows his great ability to play pickel- ball in Turner's racket sport and weightlifting class. P.E. teacher Mrs McCoy demonstrates how to properly set a volleyball to her class. Mr. Turner shows his mellow side while tossing a softball to the batter. 19 £cieMC aw Math M M any students took advantage iWu of the excessive science fwl courses offered at Rainier High. These courses dealt with all as- pects of the science field from fresh- man physical science to sophomore bi- ology to the electives of chemistry and physics. Lab experements were an important part of all of these classes. They gave students a hands-on experience as well as a better understanding of the subjects being studied. II. . . , hen are we ever going to use this? , seemed to be a classic common complaint at Rainier High School math depart- ment. All complaints aside, many stu- dents found math to be a very useful subject to have taken when enrolling in other math related subjects such as chemistry, personal finance, and busi- ness lab.

Each of the three played its own style of music. Stage band was the smallest group and played jazz and funk music. Concert and marching band played in parades, competed with other schools in com- petitions, gave concerts, and performed at football games. Pep band also played at school activities such as football games, basketball games, and assemblies. Sometimes the pep band played for the school choir when they gave concerts. The concert and marching band went to places such as Pasco, Washington, Mount Hood Community College, and Clark College, to play in competitions and parades. In April they won the fight to compete at the State Band Contest in Eugene. Stage band also competed in contests. The band took part in a Jazz Night at The Columbia Theatre to raise money for different projects. Not the same set of students played in all three bands. Some played in all three, but most just played in one or two. Marc Johnson was asked if this last year's band was as good as the bands he had been in in previous years, he replied, “we are playing up to our potential. lutl Many Ikibi Pep band playing for Rainier's girls basketball team during a time out at the State Tournament in Salem, in which the girl's ended up getting third.

For several years the choral groups have taken a field trip to the mall for a concert. After each group performed, the students got free time to shop and eat. Each year ail the groups go to a contest with all the schools in the league. The con- test this year was held in St. Helens on April 4.The group did really well recieving high scores. The swing choir had a seperate contest, it was held at the Pacific Luthern University in Tacoma. They competed with select groups from big schools. All three groups go on tour every year to a different place. Last year and this year they went to the state capital in Olympia. Next year the choir groups are going to Dis- neyland. Every student has to earn $300.00 by spring of 88. Mr. Prothero helped the kids by sponsoring three fund raisers by which most kids will raise all their money.

Peo- ple in Rainier and Longview hired the class to do various other jobs such as yard work and small construction projects. “We didn't charge much, but we usually did a super job, com- mented Mr. Head. Another thing they became quite skilled in was shoe repair. People brought their shoes and boots in, and the shoe repair class had the tools and equipment to repair them. The class also learned to repair small engines on lawn- mowers and chainsaws. Performing this service for teachers and other members of the commu- nity also added to the class treasury. From the class treasury the students were paid a small salary for the work done. They also paid for supplies and equipment used, and they maintained a class owned go-cart that they were allowed to drive as a reward for good work and behavior in class. Terry Jeffers. Robby Doud. and Mr Head work on an engine out of a go-carl that they enjoyed riding in their spare lime. Mr. Head assists Jeff Petiham as he tries to put an engine back together. Don Sensenbach cleans oft a lawnmower so Mr Head's class can repair it. Several people brought lawnmowers in to the class for repairs.

I I However, if a student tried that at Rainier High School (s)he would probably be hunted down by Mr. Burnett who would then yell and scream until the student thought Hitler was a nice person. This is just an example of how enthusiastic the social studies department is. The social studies department has five teach- ers: Mr. Burnett. Mr. Baughman, Mr. Crows ton. Mr. Hourigan, and Mr. Mallory Mr. Burnett taught Oregon history and global studies. Mr. Baughman taught drivers ed. drug abuse, glo- bal studies, and American studies. Mr. Crow- ston handled global studies, sociology, and psychology. Mr. Hourigan taught personal fi- nance classes. Mr. Mallory also taught personal finance and government. The two new additions in this department were Mr. Baughman and the freshman Oregon History class that stressed important informa- tion about the state's development, govern- ment. and geography. Kevin Dyson waits along with other students to have his homework checked in global studies John Sinibaldi gets some assistance from Mike Nelson on a study guide in global studies Wendy Hadlock works on a study guide in Mr. Burnett's global studies class, which is a required social studies class usually taken by sophomores. 27 f-land t)onk pagi off t was a super year for the yearbook staff. Everyone worked together very hard to make it the best record of 1986-87 they could. Early in the year the class took part in a workshop at Portland Community College. At the workshop the staff got new ideas for the book and learned how to turn the ideas into a good record of the school year. By the time deadline approached in mid-year the staff be- gan to find out that creating a yearbook can not only be fun but an awful lot of hard work and extra hours. After completing one of the deadlines the staff relaxed by eating pizza and hot tubbing at Mr. Couture’s house. � Ha itaff laid a diffpnetfc pmoKa tj. . . GxjiUm Since many deadlines are scheduled in the late spring the staff finished the year in a spurt of rushed pictures, after school typing sessions to get copy onto the disks, and brain draining bouts of trying to write copy. Advisor Mr. Couture commented that even though he spent a lot of time “yelling at the staff to get busy” he really enjoyed working with them and will miss those not returning next year. “Everyone on the staff had a different personality and saw school life from a different point of view. This helped in picturing the year’s activities from a very broad perspective — something I feel is extremely important. No. these aren't bag ladies. Tammy Norman and Dena Womack were looking tor cans and bottles to add to the yearbook funds. This was just one ot the staffs' leisure moments as they bask in Mr. C’s hot tub.

Rema Wood, Tammy Norman. Dawn Blankenship. Dawn Taylor and Jenny Nelson. As yearbook editors, Mary McClure and Gina Alden had a lot of extra responsibilities such as assigning layouts, making sure deadlines were met, and selecting type and design as well as doing their own pages. Trying to draw up the best layout she can, Tammy Norman put a lot of concentration into her design as Mr. Couture gives her a hand with it. 28 Office,, a bultj (dace, ToqeOtex It u otJa MAfrs' Couture. has been principal jWn of Rainier High School for four fw I years. She seems to always be busy helping teachers or walking through the halls talking with kids. This is Mr. Nawrocki's second year as vice principal. Mr. Nawrocki spends a lot of his time helping kids with prob- lems and hanging out in the hall with the student body. He has the “not so nice” job of discipline but is still liked by the kids. Taking attendence cards and put- ting information in the computer is just one of Mrs. Harkleroads’s jobs. She’s the person we will all remember taking our notes from us and deciding if par- ents or students wrote them. This was Mrs. Harkleroads first year here. Mr. Mannen is the athletic and activi- ties director. He schedules all games dances and field trips. Mrs. Couture pretends to kick back after a late night board meeting She joked that she tries to catch up on lost sleep between teacher observations and visiting classrooms. Mrs. Harkleroad checks a student note and writes them an admit slip. Whenever a student missed a class, they had to have an admit slip in order to return to class the next day. Secretaries Kathy. Evelyn and Sandy work on student accounts, the school budget and copy- ing materials for teachers. They also handle cor- respondence for administrators. Counselors Mrs. Harris and Mr Anderson work closely with the counselors secretary Mrs. Rea with scheduling, keeping records of transcripts and completing college applications. Evelyn. Sandy and Cathy are the of- fice secretaries. They sell lunch tickets and collect fees from students. They spend most of their day using the com- puter and the typewriter. Mrs. Rea’s day was filled with com- puter work for the counselor and keep- ing records of students grades and transcripts Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Harris are the people to go see for just about anything. If you have a problem you want to talk about.locker troubles or if you need information about colleges. 31 M Jf ny new things happened with n f the Rainier staff. There were f three new teachers who came to work for the school, Mr. Jeff Baugh- man, Mr. John Lybecker, and Mr. Ken Parshall. Also, for the first time Rainier had student teachers. College students listened and practiced teaching in Eng- lish, science, social studies, and Span- ish.

After the applications were reviewed an unusually large number of applicants were accepted. The Honor Society inducted 27 students in a for- mal ceremony on Nov. 4. 1986. in the Rainier High School commons. Presid- ing over the ceremony was chapter president Rob Whipple. . A blood drive sponsored by the group obtained well over the amount of their goal. In De- cember the Honor Society went to Clackamas Town Center to do some Christmas shopping or just to look around. Mr. Clore and Mrs. Quartly were the supervisors of the group. When asked for comment on the new group Mr. Clore said. “I'm not as in- volved this year as in the past. Tm the last one to know anything. Rodolfo Torres and Lina Wardemann were in- ducted as honorary members for the 1986-1987 National Honor Society. A tour through the speech depart- ment showed many new participants. One of these new faces was first year speech teacher Jerry Couture. Mr. Couture was the supervisor of the class, while Mrs. Harris took the group to various competitions. ‘7 learned more than the kids did. said Mr. Cou- ture. Many of the young students tried new things and progressed greatly. Wendy Johnson and Vicki Horn re- peated as state cross examination de- bate champions as they led the team to a second place finish in state com- petition. The drama department was under the direction of second year English teacher Mark Schmidt. The drama de- partment put on two plays. “The Din- ing Room. ” was the first play that stared several actors. One actor. Car- ole Elbert, commented that, “It was a lot of practice, but it was a good exper- ience and fun. “ The second play was “Feiffers People.

The trip was scheduled for late April; however, unseasonably warm, sunny weather unexpect- edly melted the snow. The backpackers took one trip to Saddle Mountain early in the fall and one trip to Marion Lake over the three day Memorial Day weekend. Membership in the club was not always consistant. Anyone who wanted to participate in the trips could. Public service was the goal of the science club. In achieving their goal they helped set up the gym for the science fair and helped to clean up afterwards, after the science fair. They also helped students with ideas for their science fair projects which were required assignments for all science students. The club members helped to promote interest in science both at Rainier High School and in the community. Carolyn Finn. Kevin Davis. Carol Stetson. Mike Hil- ton.

After the museum tour the club went shopping downtown. The club wanted original club shirts, so in- stead of buying them they selected plain t- shirts or sweatshrits. They created their own designs and painted their shirts themselves. The art club and the advanced art classes took a day in January and went to Portland for Portfolio Days. Portfolio Days happens every year and professionals from art schools come to look and evaluate student work. Some Rai- nier students and club members had their work looked at and others just listened to what the instructors were sharing with everyone. To raise money to pay for their feild trips they held a winter dance and ran a computer dating game. Four club members, Tom Howe. Mike Hilton.

Lina Wardemann enjoys her stay in Rainier, but she misses her family back home in West Germany. Rodolfo, who often spent time in the Rainier High li- brary. expresses his feelings about Rainier. During Friendship Days, a group of foreign exchange students met with their host families over pizza to get to know each other. Wfik Efflluwgb SthdeMti LcuujUt Nimbe i of fxriumqo ffudfjrfi rour students from foreign countries were enrolled at Rainier High this year, the lar- gest number in Rainier’s history. The four students hometowns were located in various spots all over the world. Rodolfo Torres home town was Santiago, Panama. Lina Warde- mann’s family lived in Weiderstadt, West Ger- many, which is near Frankfurt. Lina and Ro- dolfo were enrolled at Rainier for 9 months, the standard time span of students here via the AFS program. Yorlenny Coto came from Car- tago, Costa Rica, and Daniela Goldenberg lived in Nicoya, Costa Rica. Both were here for 5 weeks through the Costa Rican exchange pro- gram. During their stays, the students lived with host families who volunteered to have a foreign student. Rodolfo lived with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bishop, while Lina stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Pederson for the nine months of their visits. Yorlenny spent her 5 weeks in Rainier with Mr. and Mrs. E. Max Jensen, and Daniela stayed with the Anderson family. Rodolfo and Lina scheduled for the classes that they took, but due to their short stay, Yorlenny and Daniela adopted the same schedules as their host fam- ily’s daughter. Rodolfo commented about Rai- nier, I love it here, it's great!” Yorlenny Coto. who only stayed tor 5 weeks, really enjoyed her experience as a foreign exchange student Karin Philbrook serves coffee while the parents and friends who attended the dessert listen to the speakers. The serving staff at the AFS Dessert enjoyed volunteering their services. Some of the volunteers were Julie Trisdale. Rob Sloan. Stephanie Olsen. Jeniece Schimmel and Rae- lynn Bera. 41 t was a very successful year for the F.F.A. club. They went to' many dairy judging contests, and placed third. They placed third in the North- west District Shop Skills and third at the Cowlitz County Fair.

The Co- V lumbians started with brand new uniforms. Silky, black pants were topped by green jerseys with black numbers for home games and white jerseys with black numbers were worn with the same pants for away games. The team had another a new exper- ience when they packed up their new uniforms and went on tour to Port Townsend. Washington. The team left school on Friday and stayed overnight in an old army base converted to a conference center. On the night before the game things went badly as a movie being watched was eaten by the video machine. However, things improved, and the team had the new experience of winning as they triumphed 14-7. Homecoming gave the team the new experience of having fun in a game as they crushed the Astoria Fishermen 41-13. Coach Steve Turner said, “the seniors saw what could happen when they had fun.” The Columbians also defeated arch- rival Clatskanie to finish 3-6 for the season and 2-4 in league play.

The fresh- men remember their disappointing season while the J.V. had memories of completing a great year. Freshman coaches Brian Bennett and Ken Parshall didn't see much success in their 0-7 finish. The freshman turned out a large group of players, but not large enough physically. The freshman and their coaches said it was an enjoyable year. As Parshall said. We didn’t have much suc- cess on the scoreboard, but we won in other areas beside score.” The freshman lost to league foe Scappoose 36-12, but Parshall said they won in attitude and ef- fort. The freshman didn’t have a very good 1987 football tour. While the freshman lost the Columbian J.V. was busy handing out losses to nearly all of its opponents. We had some very talented players, said coach Gordy Crow- ston. The 1986 Columbians completed a 5- 2-1 record, the same as their 1985 season. The J.V. started a physically large team. The smallest and most valuable player was Robert Slape. Slape a new student from Korea opened up the whole offense, said Crowston. The J.V. season was loaded with excitement. They started their season off with a wide, open win over the visiting The Dalles Indians (38-25). The J.V. then trav- eled to St. Helens to find themselves be- hind by 4 points with 9 seconds left. At that time Slape threw a touchdown pass to An- drew Roberts to end the game at two sec- onds with 32-28 win. The Columbians re- venged their 1985 loss to Scappoose with a 28-6 victory over the Indians. The J.V. had some bad practice habits which be- came the root of their two losses. The Co- lumbians only won once on their home field. The JV tour was rewarding for the play- ers and coaches.

They started their duties in the spring of '86 by se- lecting uniforms, planning on fund rais- ers to pay expenses of summer camps, and making plans to attend camp. Summer hours were spent practicing the new routines learned at camp and preparing for the first assemblies of the new school year. They also assisted the football team with a car wash at the Chevron station. When school started their work be- gan in earnest. The girls practiced long hours, made pep signs to decorate the halls, decorated team members' lock- ers on game days, planned and con- ducted pep assemblies, and sold spirit ribbons and pins for many games. Another aspect of rally is the many long hours spent riding in the van to away games. Bags of snacks, pillows for napping, and extra clothes usually filled all spare spaces.

Coach Bud Gilbert said they had an excellent season. The team had the most goals for a season which was 36. Fourteen of these were scored by Kim Puckett, and eleven were scored by Amy Sorenson which were both new individual records. The team also had their best record for wins. Their record was 10-5-2. The team just missed the state playoffs by one game. Players often discussed that the team was a second half team. At the beginning of most of their games their heads weren’t into the game. After half-time the girls were always pumped! The girls were sometimes down by one or two points at half-time then came back and won the game. The attitude of not getting down on themselves when they were behind of- ten helped them out. Bud Gilbert said he was very proud of the girls excellent performance. Al- though the team was young, they had much potential. This was Bud’s last season for coaching this team, but he's sure the program will survive.

There was a new coach this year, coach Baughman, and it took the girls who had played the year before a little while to get used to some of the new tech- niques he used. Also, Rainier’s foreign exchange student, Lina Wardemann from West Germany, who is a senior, was active on the team. “I learned a lot of new things and met a lot of new people this year, commented Lina on the people and the year. The team used a floor pattern of 5-1, which is five players to hit or spike the ball and one player to set the ball up. The setters included Karla Fowler, Kar- in Philbrook, and Ginger Carlson. The team manager was Sam Salsbury who was a big help in practices and was the scorekeeper at games. Coach Baugh- man commented on the year, “It was a learning experience for everyone and, hopefully, a positive experience, and I had a good time.

The coach was Sue Muck, who stood by the girls all the way. “We were happy to win at least one game and hope to do better next year,” commented Vicki Nelson when asked her opinion on the big win. The J.V. girls used the same floor pattern as the varsity team did, 5-1,5 hitters and 1 setter. The setters includ- ed Kim Vanover and Noelle Newkirk. The team manager was Sam Salsbury who helped out the girls a lot.

There was a new freshman coach this year, Mrs. Kima Caulfield, who had a lot of impact on the freshmen players. “I thought the girls did a really good job, replied Coach Caulfield when asked to reflect on the team's efforts over the season. The freshmen team often spent many practices with the Varsity and J.V. vol- leyball teams learning new strategies and techniques. The Freshmen volleyball team used a different floor pattern than the varsity and J.V. teams. They used a floor pat- tern of 4-2, which is 4 hitters and 2 setters.

There were twelve boys on the team, many of whom had been on the team the year before. Three of the boys’ were seniors, seven were juniors, and two were sophomores. The coach was Mr. Jay Davies, who teaches math at the high school. Most of the guys on the team took cross country so that they could get in shape for one of the other sports coming up. such as swim- ming. wrestling, etc. Before every practice started all the guys on the team got together and said “Its the worst sport there is,” jokingly. “That was the team motto,’’ said Jay Rudkin. After school you could find all the guys in the commons, in their shorts, talking while stuffing their faces with junk food before practice started. Then coach Davies would arrive and start practice. All the guys liked coach Davies. “He’s a cool guy.” replied Eric Gressett when asked. Cross country runners form left to right. Top row: Eric Bell. Rick Cramer. James Getzlaff.

Unity created inspiration for the team and gave each girl the determination to do her best; therefore, this unity created team strength. “The team was big this year compared to last year. Throughout the season there were battles for the varsity positions because each and ev- eryone of us were close in our running capibili- ties. Even though we were fighting for varsity positions we all stayed good friends,” com- mented Sandra Blankenship. Nikki Lepin felt, “ As the season progressed we became a very close team. Excitement and close competition helped us keep the team’s spirit and momentum growing throughout the season.” Jeniece Schimmel said. “Everyone worked really hard this season, and we had alot of great accomplishments. Another thing I’d like to add. running cross country is not an easy sport and anyone who thinks it is. we will be looking forward to seeing you out for it next fall.” Coach Lynn Bonser. discusses strategy with runners Nikki Lepin and Sandy Blankenship at a non-league meet. 56 The Cross Country team.

Jay Rudkin felt that. “This season was a lot more fun than last year because everyone worked hard, and it showed by the number of swimmers who went to the state meet. This year was Tonya Nofziger’s second year as head coach of the Columbian swimmers; however, she resigned at the end of the season and will not be returning for the '87- '88 season. Freshman.

The girls 18-8 record, another school record for wins in a season, reflected the character of the team. Twenty of the twenty-six opponents were top ten AA teams or AAA teams. The strength of the schedule proceeded to be a blessing as the Columbians were well prepared when playoff fime arrived. The most memorable wins during the season began with an overtime win at Hood River in the season’s second game. Another preseason game to remember was the win over AAA Co- lumbia in the Championship game of the Rai- nier Holiday Tournament. League wins that stand out included the two wins over Tillamook, especially the 1-pointer at Tillamook that broke a 2-game skip in the middle of the schedule. The other highlight during the league season was the win over Seaside, giving the Seagulls their first loss of the season. The Columbians second place finish in league, the highest ever, was just the begin- ning. The Columbians shifted into high gear in the playoffs. They began by demolishing As- toria in the playoff to decide one of leagues spots in the state tournament. The next night the Columbians upended Seaside for the Dis- trict Championship and the Cowapa League’s 1 seeded in the state tournament. The Columbians were immediatly labled the Cinderella team of the state tournament by knocking off 5 Brookings in their first game. The Columbians outscored high-scoring Vale in their second game to reach the semi-finals where their title hopes were shattered by 2 Marist. However, the loss set up the most excit- ing game of the tournament. Rainier squared off with Pleasant Hill for the third place trophy in the preliminary game of the championship game session. In front of a packed-house the Columbians made a dramatic 7-point come- back in the last 1:25 of the game to force an over-time. The over-time period was all Rainier as the Columbians finished the season as the third best in state. “ The 1986-87 Varsity girls basketball sea- son was successful as a result of undneying committment by a very special group of girls. Their contributions will long be remembered at R.H.S,” felt coach Crowston. Senior basketball player Kelly King said, The State Basketball Tournament was one of the best weeks of my life. Nothing I've ever done could compare to the times our team shared together in Salem. Our team wasn't just special because we were a winning team, but because we were such a close team and cared so much about each other. I’ll always look back at that week for the rest of my life with fond memories.” Several records and goals were set by the 1986-87, varsity girls basketball team. These goals and records were; most wins in the season (18), first trip to state tournament, most tournament wins (3), swept Tillamook in the regular season, beat Astoria, highest finish in the State Tournament, District Cham- pions, and Rainier Holiday Tournament Champions. Tournament records were; single game assist record vs. Vale (22), tournament team assist re- cord (58), and most points scored in a tournament game, Rainier vs. Vale, (131). Senior basketball player.

The team clicked as a unit and it was obvious. The team did have an enjoyable season even though their record of 7 wins 13 losses was not too impressive. Coach Sue Muck said, I feel it was a suc- cessful year as there was improvement by all players. I think each player will be a great asset to the teams they play on in the future. Kristi Appleby felt, “The season was a lot of fun , but it went by too fast. Brenda Emerick commented Towards the end of the season we worked more as a team because we were used to how each other played. The Junior Varsity team voted on team awards Kristi Appleby recieved Best Offense, Best Defense was Kim Gortler.Most Improved was Kodi Murphy, and Brenda Emerick was Most Inspritional. Freshmen coach Mike Edwards felt, “His team did very well for their first year out for high school basketball.” He also said, The team progessed thoughout the whole season.” Freshmen players Andrea Wardle and Jodi Jessee said, we were able to work with each other as the season went on.

The team consisted of 31 grapplers and three coaches. “There were so many wrestlers that were outstanding, said assistant coach Tim McGladrey. The whole team contributed to the reconstruction of the team. The main contribu- tors were: Brad Ryan, Chad Womack. Mark Gaston, Matt Stevens, Gary Schimmel, Craig Kennedy. Chris Thompson. Jim Thompson and Troy Graham. The Columbians experienced crushing defeats as well as rebuilding victories while laying the foundation of their team. One of the biggest losses was a loss to rival Clats- kanie. “We were not wrestling with a full line up, most of our seniors were not wrestling. said McGladrey. The team saw a turning point when they lost to St. Helens league champs by only 10 points. When the team suffered defeat they began to rebuild and saw one of their most exciting victories come to pass. The Colum- bians defeated Scappoose, who were a big league threat. Through this win the fans and team saw the framework shaping up on their construction. Five wrestlers finished their build- ing in time to qualify for the state tournament. Four qualifiers were seniors:Gary Schimmel, Chris Thompson. Craig Kennedy, and Mark Gaston. Jim Thompson, a junior also qualified for state. Kennedy also placed 2nd in state. Shane Workman puts his McLoughlin High oppo- nent in pain on his way to a rebuilding victory match. 69 Co mbumL tom to- M building year is how first year I coach John Lybecker de- i • scribed the 1987 baseball season. The Rainier boys had a record of 2-24 with their two victory's coming in league play. When asked about the season Lybdecker said, It will be good experience for next year. He also was quick to add that, the kids never quit , and he was pleased be- cause that’s what Rainier is all about. His record doesn’t show ev- erything as close games went the oth- er way. When asked about the team attitude, he replied They were good sportmen and they really never hung their heads. ’’ He also make a comment that the intensity level should have been higher, but he took the blame for that. The question about how to im- prove for next year was a simple one to answer for coach Lybecker who said, Getting the kids out to play that should be out. ’’ 2-24 ieoim tarting three weeks late made f league play seem like preseason Vi for the JV baseball team this year. Turnout for baseball was delayed because basketball ran later into the spring than usual and because a coach for the team had not been found. Finally, Paul Mannen and Len Robi- son shared the duties and got the team — made up of all freshmen — started. Even though we started so late, the team members really came together, commented coach Robison. When asked if he saw any improve- ment in the team over the year, Robi- son stated, The team improved as a whole and certain individuals really came along. John Brown played con- sistently well, and after starting slowly Mark Smith came along on the mound. He also added, If they could stay together for one more year they would be ready for varsity play, and they could be very competitive. Head Coach John Lybecker. coaching third base in a game against Astoria, studies a bat- ter's swing. The Columbians triumphed 5-4 lor one of their rare wins. Coach Lybecker was at Rainier on a one-year contract to replace a teacher on leave, so he could not look forward to the 1988 season. Instead, he will be teaching and coaching at Umatilla. Oregon.

Rainier had tied with the Indians for second place in the league and a berth to the state A A softball tournament. As the girls prepared for the game they were confident they had plenty of experience with 11 wins and only 3 losses in their gloves. Rainier split two regular season games with Scappoose. Each team knew the other team well going into the final game for one of these two teams. Unfortunately. Scappoose knew Rainier just one run better. The Columbians dropped the playoff game 2 to 3. This one game ended the season but definately didn't describe the whole season. “The girls played excellent and I was very proud of them. said third year coach Judy Sorenson. The most points scored on the Columbians was 5. and that by the league champion St. Helens Lions. Rainier shut out its op- ponents 8 times and was only shut out once. “This is my third year of coaching and Scappoose and St. Helens have always been tough and always will be. but this year we were right there with them in the top three. said Sorenson.

Not only because everyone gets to dress up, but this gives seniors a time to enjoy being with their friends before going out into the real world. It also gives juniors a chance to experiment with maturity and royality. Prom court tapping was held about a month before prom. The juniors se- lected were; Princess Vat Halversoon with escort Prince Casey Rea, Princess Lori Ramey with escort Prince Chad Womack, Princess Susan Kellar with escort Prince Brad Ryan, Princess Liz- zie Price with escort Darrell Harkler- oad, Princess Jeri LeSollen with escort Prince Paul Celumini, Princess Michelle Howell with escort Prince Rick Burdick, and Princess Debbie A bams with es- cort Garry Hudson. Princess Lizzie Price and Prince Darrell Harkleroad were crowned king and queen for the 1986-87 Junior Prom. This years junior class did a wonder- ful job with the prom decorations. After many meetings they chose gold, black and red for the exotic colors. Most of this year's class and many other helpers started decorating Friday after school and worked until one o'clock that night. The many hours and hard work payed off. The commons area was beautiful. The setting for the court crowning was a big city in the mists of night with glorious lights of many colors. The band at the prom was Source. Most people complained that there weren't enough slow songs. Other problems were noticed too. “I thought the band was ok, but they played too much of that country gar- bage, said Dan Wade The prom is always going to be re- membered by many students at Rai- nier High, for a Touch of Class filled the air.

Wuumg Daucei Lcuigb Turnout at dances A fter game dances were a big part of many 11 students’ social lives in 86-87, and the dances always had a large turnout. Of the 6 after game dances, 3 were during football season, and 3 were during basketball season. There might have been a correlation between the games and dances because 5 of the 6 games that preceeded a dance were won. The dances were used as fundraisers for groups and clubs. Some of the after game dances had themes such as the “Winter Blahs” dance to raise funds for the Art Club. The cafe- teria, where the majority of the dances were held was decorated accordingly. Susan Nelson. Calvin Moffit. and Luke Graham sit one out while they chat with each other, an activity many students enjoyed at the dances. Michelle Howell contemplates the game she just attended, while she dances with Jason Richards. 93 Pep auetub ei cm fm fot ei e u oueJ ep assemblies were a fun time for people to get out of class a few I minutes early and to loosen up and have fun. Cheerleaders put on the assemblies and made up games for people that they picked to play in front of the whole student body. Occasion- ally teachers were asked to do things. Even principal Laura Couture took a pie in the face in order to help the fire department raise money to feed hungry children. Promoting football and basketball games was a big part of pep assem- blies. The cheerleaders would ask the students to come and support the teams and get them hyped up for the game that night. Coaches would go out and introduce the guys or girls on the teams. Sometimes the girls team and the boys team would compete against each other, or the cheerleaders would do something special for them, such as buying them candy or bal- loons. An activity for the whole school was the class competition. The class com- petition was done every pep assembly. This was where the cheerleaders would make up a cheer and each class would get a chance to repeat the cheer as loudly as possible. Selected teachers would judge who the winners were. The winners would then recieve their prize, which was candy, that the cheer- leaders would throw up into the bleachers for them to catch. Junior Casey Rea. after raising a little over forty dollars for the fireman 's Christmas fund to feed hungry children, prepares to throw a pie in Prin- cipal Laura Couture’s face. A game the cheerleaders made up was for every- one to throw their shoes into a pile and then run down to the other end of the gym. then run back, find their shoes and put them on. 94 Marc Johnson being himself during a pep assem- bly before the homecoming football game Senior varsity football players recievmg balloons from the cheerleaders as going away gifts.

Officers elected to guide the student body were president. Jay Rudkin; vice president, Bri- an Schimmel; secretary, Tracy Griffith; trea- surer, Robin Nebeker; business manager, Karin Philbrook. Petitions were circulated by the candidate to get 15 signatures. After they turned in this sheet they were checked for an appropriate G.P.A. Once the candidates were approved they be- gan campaigning. The students made signs, buttons, posters, and some stuffed lockers. This was a very persuasive way to make people decide on who they thought were best for the positions. After a week of campaigning the student body gathered in the auditorium where cam- paign managers introduced their candidates. Then the candidates had a chance to introduce themselves and tell why they were the best person for the position. % Robin Nebeker. 1987-88 A S B. treasurer.

Red Honda scooters were very popular among students when it started to get warm. Some students showing oil their fashionable swatch watches on the back of Maggie McClure's swatch watch shirt. m A any fads and fashions swept IWt the school throughout the I I year. Some had a taste or style in which they dressed and did their hair while others were constantly following the fads. Some fads were accepted and lasted for some time, while others were around for a couple of weeks and then disappeared. Swatch watches were very popular for some time. They were watches with different colors and designs, very styl- ish. When they first came out the ma- jority of the school went out and bought one. After awhile things cooled down and they were just a thing of the past. At the end of the year scooters be- came very popular. They were afforda- bly priced miniature motorcycles which came in bright colors such as red. white, and purple. Haircuts were by far the most impor- tant fad of the year. Flat tops were most popular with the boys. Amaz- ingly. bobs were still quite popular with the girls. Also girls were cutting their hair quite short and coloring it colors such as red. yellow, white, and black. As far as clothes were concerned the school went through many changes. Coca Cola shirts were quite popular for a little while. Both mini skirts and long skirts were worn by girls as were leggings, band-aid pants, and stirrups, though stirrups weren't as popular as they had been the year be- fore. Hats seemed to make a state- ment at the beginning of the year, but by the end of the year they were hardly being worn. Jams were very much what the boys were wearing. Bright colorful shorts with tank tops. Overall the year had many changes in fads and fashions. Many things are gone and many will be around for years to come. 121 Midi Not and Wkati Not fot CoHujabiaui A poll taken in the Class of ’87 determined what was hot in the year of '86-'87 and what wasn't.

Also, ... he was in the national achievement book for typing as he was in the top two percent in the nation. He was very quiet, until you got to know him, and he was always fun to talk to, said Jenny Nelson. You could always be yourself around him. He was a great person. A good friend of his, Dana Chap- man, described Jared as, always fun to be around and always under control. He did everything right. Jared was an avid fisherman as evidenced by a catch he had made in September. 1986. A tragic automobile accident £ claimed the life of Jared Schaffer f • on the morning of December 2, 1986.

A group of seniors worked diligently to organize a skip day sanc- tioned by the school. However, many of the class members didn't support the idea and plans were cancelled. In place of a planned skip a few separate groups of the class planned and car- ried out their own illegal skip days. At least one of the informal skips turned into a party at a class mem- ber's home. Another informal skip found a group of seniors spending a day in Seaside rather than in classes.

This was one of the the last informal gatherings of the Class of '87, and they spent a great deal ot time visiting and comparing plans for the future, eating the food furnished by the parents, and playing a variety of games. Maureen Philbrook, Nancy Norman, Rosemary Riker, and Sally McCollam were the parent chaperones and cooks for the picnic. Nearly all members of the class par- ticipated in the picnic activities and, according to the chaperones, ap- peared to enjoy themselves. Nancy Norman and Maureen Philbrook tend the hamburgers while Rosemary Riker tends the condiment table for the hungry seniors. Weather was perfect for a picnic as the temperature was near 80 degrees and the sun shined all day. 4 Mary McClure.

Invitations had been sent a week earlier to all seniors, and those who chose received a spe- cial wake-up call from one of the teachers. The seniors requesting wake-up service had the choice of a male or a female voice for the early morning reveille. Upon arrival at the cafeteria each senior found a personalized awards-place mat. Each senior received a not-too-serious award recog- nizing some accomplishment” while in high school. The place mats were hand colored and laminated certificates featuring the cartoon character Garfield. Ham, scrambled eggs, giant cinnamon rolls, orange juice, milk, and coffee were served to the hungry senior at 7:00 a.m. The food had been prepared by the cooks and few teachers who had arrived at 5:30 to begin the prepara- tions. Other staff members set up the cafeteria, acted as waiters and waitresses, and did the dean-up afterwards. Mr. Steve Prothero sacri- ficed a greart deal as he broke his foot in the setting-up process. A folding table dropped on him. ifMioU “I've been scrambling eggs for senior breakfast for years, and I enjoy it, even though I have to get up at 4:30. ” Mr. Anderson Following breakfast, Mr. Prothero, broken foot and all, acted as master of ceremonies as a few special awards were presented in the auditorium. Sean Clark was recognized for the loud and unusual noises that often came from him in inappropriate places. Shane Workman received Mrs. McCoy's annual Jock award, and speakers Vicki Horn, Wendy Johnson and Becky Bunker picked up the trophies they had won over the past four years.

This page gives me a chance to thank everyone who helped make this yearbook possible. So, that's what I'll do. A big thank you goes to the year- book staff for making this yearbook a good one. A lot of hard work went into the Emeraude, and if we hadn't had such a good, cooperative staff, we never would have pulled it off. You all worked well together and everyone lent a helping hand when it was need- Editor ed.
