Motto..........................................If at first you don't succeed try harder tomorrow. Flower.....................................................Pink Carnation Colors.....................................................Blue and Silver Advisor.....................................................Mr. Martindale As Freshmen we entered the school as the largest class in the history of the school. Immediately, money raising started for the prom with a very profitable slave day. The Sophomore year found us working for MORE money with a Sweetheart's Ball, scrap iron drive, concessions and dances. Our Junior year was one of work! The prom was upper most in our minds. We worked feverishly on roses and rainbows—our theme. Though tired, the Juniors were happy with the results come prom night, as was everyone else. As Seniors we are finally ready for a year of rest. Plans for college, trade schools, or jobs are being made. June will be a month of memories, past and present, as we leave our Alma Mater.

To get, decorated, and stand back and admire, was a project which every Senior enjoyed. Pictured area few who helped decorate one of the prettiest Christmas trees in Riddle halls. The Senior boys, with at least one year’s experience in basketball, challenged the faculty to a bone-cracking ball game. The final score was 47-48 faculty! (with assistance of score-keepers, score clock and SENIOR VS. FACULTY The Junior class under the leadership of Scott Taylor, President; Donna Schofield, Secretary-Treasurer; Tom Keele, Class Representative; George Slay, Sergeant at Arms; and Jack Saily, Vice-President; were ready and able to tackle the task of putting on the Junior-Senior Prom for 1967. The beginning of this year saw the Juniors with $400 in their treasury and a long way to go until May. Turkey raffles, Valentine raffles, car washes, cake raffles, and a big chili feed, plus the steady work of the Juniors, brought the prom quota to a much larger sum. Although the Juniors were already working under the able guidance of their two adivsers, Mrs. Scheidecker and Mr. Matthews, in February Mr. Zarnekee was unanimously voted by the class to become a third adviser. Mr. Zarnekee had been the class adviser when they were freshmen and would therefore be a great extra helping hand.

Dave Steen, Pat Markham, Stan Humiston and Geroge Slay argue (?) the point! Debbie dissected her cat. Barbara, LaReva, and Diane cut their frogs. This was Mr. Bateman's first full year at Riddle. He changed the desks to tables and chairs which made more room for everyone, including more lab space. There were two aquariums, with a variety of fish, going ail year. Part of the time there was a ter-arium. There were also guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice, in cages, for part of the semester. Blake dissected his harmless cat, Gomez. BIOLOGY CATS FROGS Jack and Kevin trimmed their cat, Kermit. BIOLOGY II There were 6 boys and 7 girls in Biology II. Their first semester's work and part of the second was cutting frogs, cats, and fetal pigs. Bob and Pat Shea dissected their frog. THE TRIO: Bonnie, Marlee, and Kathy are busy with their frogs. Pat skinned his cat, Seymoure. BIOLOGY I This year, as every year, all sophomores were in Biology I. During the year they dissected crayfish, worms, and frogs. Helping to beautify the school grounds are the Sophomore class officers. From left to right are Pat Juhi, Sergeant at arms; Marlee Powell, President; Kathy Jones, Class Representative; Susy Criswell, Secretary-Treasurer; and Ralph Wil-born, Vice-President. This year brought many more smiles to the surviving sophomores as their status in the school was raised. Now firmly established in Riddle High, they have spent many hours contributing time and energy to enhancing Riddle’s name. The advisors for their 1966-1967 school year are Mr. Kimball and Mr. Fisher. Being the smallest class of the high school with only 37 members ( 16 girls and 21 boys), the sophomores made up in spirit what they lacked in size. The sophomore activities included presenting a skit and entering a float in the parade during homecoming week. They have sold license plates and candy toward the prom they will put on next year. Thw sophomores were well represented in each of the various school clubs and sports. 18 Larry Brown Diane Collins Susan Criswell Wesley Dunn L jA Ester Foster David Hackleman Susan Hall Sharon Hutchinson Joe Ingwerson Tom Jackson SOPHOMORES Deeply absorbed in the actions of the camera are Chuck Jones, Mike James, Pat Juhl and Wes Dunn as they await their turn to have their pictures taken.

GIRLS + DETERMINATION = Field Hockey N. Halter, S. Servant, J. Fair-child, P. McBurnett, and S. Robinette. GIRLS TRY A NEW SPORT Field Hockey is a game played by two teams of eleven students each. The modern game originated in England about the middle of the nineteenth century. Though Field Hockey is an Olympic sport, it is popular with both men and women in many parts of the world. It is played almost exclusively by women here in the United States. The Fail of 66 brought this sport to Riddle High. Mrs. Franklin started off the season with Field Hockey for her entire physical education program. 21 The class officers for the Freshmen this year were (from left to right) Vice-President, Jerry Bingham; Sergeant-at-Arms, Jay Zamekee; President, Doug Steen; treasurer, Kenneth Osterman; Class Representative, Kathy Hall; and Secreatry, Karen Holcomb. Some of the activities of the Freshmen have been entering a float in the Homecoming Parade; the annual slave auction which brought in abbut $70; a money making project of selling Irish pens with the home basketball schedule on them; and the Dance of the Elves at the Christmas party. Many of the Freshmen boys were on the JV football and basketball teams. These ball teams were coached by Mr. Matthews and Mr. Zarnekee respectively. There were both varsity and JV wrestlers from the Frosh boys. Three of the JV cheerleaders are Freshmen girls this year. This year more Freshmen boys are out for track and baseball. 22 Kay Cox Bonnie Coyle Dennis Evenson Debbie Frunk Pamela Foster FRESHMEN The traditional Dance of the Elves at the Christmas Party.

Pat Nearing, our president, moved away in November, leaving Mike to take over the presidency. The eighth grade class advisors for this year were Mr. Charles Church and Mr. Neal Bateman. In December we made pinatas in Spanish class. We had them filled with candy for our Christmas party. In March we went to Salem. We visited the c a pi to I and the legislautre. We then went on to the OSU campus at Corvalis. During our eighth grade year we have tried to prepare ourselves for the next four years as high school students. We are looking forward to the many activities at RHS which will include among many other things Slave Day and the Dance of the Elves, in which the Freshmen are the main attraction. 26 Linda Cox Kathy Gillespie EIGHTH The eighth grade cheerleaders have worked hard leading the class through all the yells during the sports seasons.

David Sample Susan Servant Shown working on their pinata are Clif Brinkley, Jerry Grable, Larry Waggoner and Mike Rainwater. Each of the two eighth grade Spanish classes was divided into groups of four students. Each group then received a large balloon. This was to make the form or base of the pinatas. The balloons were blown up to whatever size was decided upon by the group. Then wet newspapers were placed over the balloons and allowed to dry. Then another layer of newspaper and paste came next. Again they were allowed to set until dry. Usually this was over night or until the next class period.

When they were big enough, the next problem was to decide what they would finally be or look like as the finished product. And so the work continued on the pinatas.

When finished the pinatas were attached to a rope and hung from a pole or a hook in the ceiling. Then as the children tried to strike it with a stick, the pinata was set to swinging. When the pinata finally broke, a shower of candies and like goodies fell from it and everyone scrambled for them. ONE ACT PLAY The cast consisted of Carlo, Dick Stuart; Ducibeiia, Sharon Parker, King Larry Miller; Queen, Linda Dort; the Chancellor, Dennis Scholfield; Prince Simon, Jim Cockrum; and Princess Camilla, Kathy Olsen. THE UGLY DUCKLING October 17, 1966, some of the students of Riddle High School presented a one act play, THE UGLY DUCKLING, as part of the open house and PTA program given at the High School. The cast, stage crew, costume crew, and makeup crew were all chosen from the entire student body. Miss Gaynor was the director of the production. Camilla seems to cause a bit of consternation. The high point of the play--Kathy and Jim found they were right for each other. There was still the problem of telling father. The class officers of the seventh grade from left to right: Rick Martindale, vice-president; Karen Jones, secretary-treasurer; Mike Colye, president; Bob Thoms, sargeant-at-arms. Although there have been only three class meetings with our advisor, Mr. Lakes, we have started several great projects. It is the seventh graders first year in the high school building, and we stood back to see what was happening and going on, but next year we will be on the move. There were many areas open for seventh grade participation this year. Sportswise there was football, basketball, wrestling, baseball and track. (These were especially for the boys.) There are some spring sports for the girls. Besides these were the Junior High dances, the magizine sales, and the Haiku magazine. Several of the students were a part of the art class that Mr. Lakes had after school on Thursday afternoon. 32 Willard Boyd Mike Coyle Darwyn Foster Akaline Goin Nancy Anderson Matthew Breuer John A usm us Jetta Brown Mark Bingham Anthony Bonn John Childress SEVENTH The four girls pictured below were the seventh graders choice to represent them at the ballgames, both football and basketball.

Mr. Lakes, our social studies and English teacher, got the idea of publishing a magazine when we were studying Japan in social studies. In the beginning the haiku was the first part of a TANKA, a five line poem. It was game between two people. One person would write the first three lines, and the second person would write the next two lines--a kind of Can you cap this one? game. All of the seventh graders wrote eight haiku. From these the staff members picked the best ones to put in the magazine. The staff members are, Left to Right: Mr. Lakes, adviser; Matt Breuer, art editor; Suzanne King; Susan Page; Susan Puckett; Philip Mills-Price, editor in chief; (seated); Karen Jones; Eva Wilborn; Melisa McFie, managing editor;;Myma Halter; and Mark Bingham.

IRISH IN ACTION” is well demonstrated in a pictorial review of our school superintendent, Kenenth A. Stuart, and some of his many activities. Traveling to national, state, or county conferences helps keep him abreast of the changing trends in education. Always a promoter and supporter of athletics, Mr. Stuart acts as a timer for local events and also serves as a state director of Babe Ruth Baseball for Douglas County and the central Willamette Valley area. Checking the mail and delivering supplies is a daily task. At his desk, the welfare of the Riddle Irish is always of paramount importance to him.

Mr. Joe Powell, Principal of Riddle Elementary School. i s The current Commissioner of Education said recently: “You can't back into the future looking into the past. This statement implies that the schools of the future cannot have all their roots in the tradition, orthodoxy, and folklore of educational philosophy and practice and still produce the very best educational program. The same point-of-view applies to all phases of life. I hope that the Seniors leave Riddle High School with their eyes clearly focused to what lies in the future. I hope that the school system and the community have provided the type of background that will allow you to meet the uncertainties, unfamiliarities, successfully, and well. I wish you the best of luck, and I wish you the desire to be excellent in everything you do. A normal school year produces a variety of emotions. My prevailing feeling is one of pleasure. Being able to work with so many nice pupils, a group of fine teachers, and some highly dedicated townspeople have made this year worthwhile to me. Arlen J.

The Riddle International Relations League was very active this year. This was due to the energy of its officers--Kathy Sample, President; Kevin White, Vice-President; Debby Rhodes, Secretary-Treasurer; Pat Boyd, Historian; and Mr. Matthews. Advisor. The energy of the officers plus a great increase in membership resulted in a lot of action. The IRL traveled to Pheonix in February for a conference with many of the sur- rounding schools. In March, Riddle played hostess to the Regional Conference which was the last preparation conference before the State Conference. There was excellent participation from all of Riddle IRL members and the RegionalCon-ference proved to be a great success. Finally in spring eight members from Riddle’s IRL traveled to Eugene to take part in the State Conference which was the climax of a successful and fun fulled year for the members of the International Relations League of Riddle High School.

The Riddle High School Band, with the co-operation of faculty and students, presented a very hilarious and entertaining Band Fun Night. The theme for this year was The Sound of Noise. It sounded as if it might be just that until after the first song, at which time Mr. Ferguson made his appearance and took over. The program began with a few words by Pat Boyd, M. C. for the evening. Pat gave instructions in music appreciation. The freshman part of the program was a dance performed on the stage. Later, another dance by Miss Gaynor was ended by Mr. Huntsman. Mr. Church added some humor as the weasel for the evening. During this event, the band played variations to POP GOES THE WEASEL.

A new club came into being this year under the leadership of advisor, Mrs. Galloway, and President Leslie Strobridge. Its chief goal was to build up supplies--such as pencils, toothbrushes, bandaids, paper and soap--to put into one big relief chest which, when it is completed will be sent to Portland, Oregon, to some disaster area. This year's group got a great start on this chest and plans were made at the end of this year for next year's group to complete it. The first fund raising project was the benefit movies for children which took place in December and again in March. The admission for these movies was canned goods of any sort. Then in April the Red Cross served refreshments at the PTO as a community service. And also in December the Red Cross prepared a food basket which the Roseburg Welfare Agency sent to a needy family. The Red Cross Club is a very energetic group which will continue to work for the good of helping others. President, Leslie Strobridge Babette Renfro and Kay Cox intro duce the children to Santa Claus during the intermission of the December movie. JUNIOR RED CROSS New officers for 1967-68.

This year's 1966 Cross Country team had a very good year. During the year we ran away from CBA during the meets, a thing we had never been able to do before. The Irish took second in our league meet. One of the top runners this year was Neal Pack, who will be coming back to run for three more years. Our Varsity squad usually consisted of Neal Pack, Tom Keele, Paul Gaedecke, Stephen Hall, Jean McKim, Fred Pinnel, and Andy Moore, Ralph Wilborn, and Bob Addis were usually scrambling for the last Varsity place. Mr. Weston will be losing five seniors, but will have a good team returning next year ready and willing to run. Mr. Weston lead the 1966 Cross Country Team in a very profitable season. Jerry Cockrum The five runners that you see here are the ones who have run their last season for the Riddle Irish Cross Country team. These are the runners who form the backbone of a team and set an example for the younger runners to follow. These are the ones that have been running for Mr. Weston for quite awhile and he will miss them in next year's line up. Paul Gaedecke Stephen Hall SENIOR RUNNERS Stephen Hall thinks he sees his beloved girlfriend at the bottom of the hill. Neal Pack walks around the track thinking of the big race ahead of him. ai ift tf, The Irish Thinclads race off at the sound of the gun.The weather for this all important league meet was very wet and muddy. This did not stop the Irish as they moved off so fast they were just a blur in the eye of the camera. IRISH THIN Fred Pinnell, Jean McKim, Paul Gae-decke, and David Steen go charging down the hill. John Gaedecke strides it out with an opponent from Glendale. They are both racing for the hill and are trying to stay in front of the runners who are coming up fast from behind. Mr. Weston talks to the teams before one of the big races. He gives the teams some last minute instructions about the race. When to cut, where to go, and so forth. He will then step back,give the commands and the race will be on its way. Mr. Weston talks to the team before one of the big races. Listening and absorbing this information is Paul Gaedecke, Tom Keele, Fred Pinnell, and Neal Pack. CLADS 1966 Stephen Hall, Donald Green, Tom Keele, and Paul Gaedecke wait on the bleachers to hear the score of the hard race that they had just run. Fred Pinnell strides it out trying to keep ahead of the runners behind him. Being a hot day, Fred has discarded his shirt during the race. Stephen Hall runs along looking for another opponent to challenge and pass. The Riddle Irish played under an entirely new coach’s staff with head coach Neal Bateman and assistant coaches Dennis Fisher and Robert Matthews. The Irish started out the season slow but really came along towards the end of the season by clobbering Rogue River 39-12. The Irish finished the season with a 2 win, 7 loss record.

FOOTBALL SENIORS Seniors are the backbone of a team. They are the ones the others on a team should be able to look up to for leadership and guidance. This year’s seniors did an excellent job. They all set good examples. All of the seniors have played four years of football at RHS except John Mills Price and A1 Renfro. John turned out for the first time this year and really came along at the end of the season. A1 is a transfer from New Mexico and did an excellent job at defensive halfback.

IRISH IN ACTION The determination of the Irish is shown here as Dick Wigle (41), halfback, fumbles the ball and the entire team goes after it, led by George Slay (71), guard. Other Irish players include Pat Markham (80), quarter back, Terry Weakley (62), end, Jim Smith (10), halfback, Larry Morrison (73), tackle, Ken Vedder (50) center, and John Johnson (82), end. This was the Douglas game where the Irish's 33-0 victory over Troy helped make the 1966 Homecoming a success. Ken Vedder proves why he is a unanimous all-conference selection as he fights off a blocker to make the tackle. A little bit over anxious, a South Umpqua player is called for pass interference as he tackles Rick Gillespie before Rick catches the ball. Dick Wigledrives his way through the SU line. Terry Weakley takes a pass from Pat Markham. Jim Smith fights for yardage as four Douglas play- The 1966-67 Riddle High School Basketball Team enjoyed the finest season ever in the history of the school.

The Irish won this tournament with wins over Rogue River and league champs, Sutherlin. From there the Irish went on to the state tournament at Coos Bay where the luck of the Irish” didn't prevail as the team lost its first two games to Vale and to Pleasant Hill.

IRISH WIN DISTRICT 6-A2 TITLE Coach Weston has a few words of wisdom for the Irish as the team takes a short break. Fast breaking and pressing the whole game takes a lot of stamina and a break once in awhile was well deserved. The JV team, coached by Mr. Fisher, played an important part in the varsity success. They, in addition to having a fine season themselves, scrimmaged the varsity during the practice sessions. Players are, front row, left to right: Mr. Fisher, Coach; J. Bingham, W.Dunn, J.lngwerson, A. Moore, R. Wigle, R. Martindale. Back Row: D. Thomas, Manager; A. Puckett, P. Juhl, J. Johnson, J. Zarnekee, P. Shea, Manager. JUNIOR VARSITY FROSH 7 a. m. came awful early for practice, but this year's freshmen, under the coaching of Mr. Zarnekee, turned out with enthusiasm. Look for these boys to make up the bulk of the Varsity team in a couple years. Players, Front Row, left to right: Mr. Zarnekee, Coach; D. Evenson, D. Brown, N. Pack, H. Henry, E. Colter, S.

FROM LEAGUE TO DISTRICT TO STATE! 85 Under the instruction of Coach Neal Bateman, and led by the superb examples of the three senior co-cap-tains, Linn Mitchell, Dave Ingwerson, and Dale Pospisil, the Irish had an unusually successful year. Shown above are the members of the Varsity team: first row, left to right: M. Glisson, R. Wilborn, D. Pospisil, C. Pollack, A. Metcalf, J. Gaedecke. Second row, left to right: Manager, L. Witt; Manager, B. Angland, L. Mitchell, L. Morrison, D. Wigle, and Coach Neal Bateman. WRESTLING The JV wrestlers shown here, played an important part, not only in their fine showing at the JV meets, but in assisting the varsity during practice, and in wrestling varsity when needed. Shown here are, first row, left to right: D. Hackleman, D. Stuart. In the second row are: J. Huffman, F. Mills-Price, J. Saily, D. Parks, and Coach Neal Bateman. Here, Dick Wigle, David Ingwerson, Linn Mitchell, Coach Neal Bateman, and Dale Pospisil are shown with their charts and first place ribbons which they earned at the Umpqua Valley League Wrestling Tournament.

SENIOR WRESTLERS Linn Mitchell Co-captain Dale Pospisil Co-captain Dave Ingwerson Dick Stuart Co-captain This is Linn Mitchell pinning O'Conner in the League Tournament match that gained Linn first place. Dave Ingwerson is here shown at the District Tournament in referee position” ready for the whistle. Dale Pospisil put the first defeat against P. Hansen from Oakland, who was undefeated up to this dual meet. It is not always easy to get your man' in such a hold, but it paid off here for Allen Metcalf. Mike Glissen is shown making good use of the leg and arm ride. MAT MEN DickWiglehere has a tight waist ride” on his opponent. Lynn Mitchell's opponent is definitely ready to cry uncle!'' Mr. Bateman, seated here with the team, is watching intently one of the dual meets. From these were gained much help and pointers for the next meet and the coming practice sessions. Britt Claxton drives his man into the mat. Dale Pospisil is here setting his man up in a cradle. This led to a pin and five points for the Irish. Chancey Pollock teaches under to break his opponent to the mat. With the change of Mr. Bateman from basketball to wrestling, the team continued to improve and gain in points as the final scoresshowed. With only four seniors on the team this year of 1966-67, the coming year should see an even bigger and stronger group of Irish wrestlers ready to challenge the Umpqua Valley League Wrestlers. IN ACTION Larry Morrison shifted to a ride and gained points for the Irish team. Jack Saily is moving in for the take down at the beginning of a match. Here is Mike Bonn in a good old arm ride. ” This time the ride was worth five points to John Gaedecke as it led to a pin before the match was over. Ellen Mitchell and Debby Rhodes were a very important part of the team. They kept the scores and kept them accurately. They also ran the clock during the dual meets and assisted with the scoring in the league tournament. This is their second year and they will be repeating their excellent work next year.
