Riddle High School - Shamrock Yearbook (Riddle, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1988 volume:

Remember When... ...the cheerleaders took state for the third time? ...Mr. Stevens became the new principal? ...the band went to Hawaii? ...Mr. Hughes was hired as counselor? ...the cross country team finished fifth in state? ...the track team took district for a second consecutive time? Remember When (re-mem'ber hwen), to recall to mind the events and feeling of the 1987-88 school year; to recollect with gratitude, regard, or reverence the students and staff at Riddle High School; to exercise the power of memory while looking through the 1988 Shamrock. August 31, 1987 the memories began. It was a year of change and growth. The doors opened to a new principal, a new counselor and a new attitude. The changes were good ones. The students and staff developed a spirit that saw the cheerleaders Preston O'Hara will remember the grass headbands, Waikiki Beach, the sun, the fun, and the GIRLS, during his trip with the band to Hawaii. become three time state champions, the band travel to Hawaii, track members attend the state track meet, and the baseball and softball teams compete in the state playoffs. The doors closed with the resignations of long time shop teacher Mr. Carlson, principal Mr. Stevens, and counselor Mr. Hughes. Although the latter two only stayed one year, their presence will be felt for years to come. There is much to remember. The 1988 Shamrock has captured the feeling, the joy and the sadness of the 1987-88 school year. A year to remember when... Theme REMEMBER WHEN... Heath, could I borrow some valve oil for my baritone? said Cory Nichols during a typical rehearsal in band. Sure, replied Heath Lakin. Here, catch. Heath tossed the plastic bottle into the air. End over end it went as it glided across the room, only to collide with the bell of Dan Jones' baritone, splitting the bottle in two. Oil went all over the floor, Dan's music and his lap. Heath was stunned. Clean it up! spouted Mr. Follose. Ha Ha Ha! laughed Dan Endicott. You help him, Dan, said Mr. Follose. Within minutes the oil was wiped up and the rehearsal went on its merry way.

Just a few of the featured items are Prom (pp. 16-17), the Junior Senior Banquet (p. 21), and messages from mom and dad (pp. 14-15). The Seniors in their last school year feel great because they have completed the twelve year ordeal of school. At the same time they feel sad and wonder what all of their classmates will be doing in the future. They will have to wait until their class reunion to find out. The most fun thing will be asking the question, Remember When.... Seniors b SENIORS HEAD FOR THE REAL WORLD Now this won't hurt a bit, Kim. Kim Ostberg, among others, fearlessly gave blood when the Red Cross visited our school.

Love, JoDee and Al Senior Messages undersea reflections The Junior Class Prom Committee did an excellent job decorating for prom. The many hours they spent in the gym really showed up on Saturday night. Prom committee chairman Vinita Crippen said, Prom was a lot of hard work, but it really paid off. A lot of people did not notice they were actually in the gym. The long entrance and the circular shape of the room really threw people off. In spite of all the time, money, and hard work spent on prom, most couples only stayed until about eleven o'clock and then went to Cosmos in Roseburg for the rest of the evening.

THE END AND the BEGINNING June 3, 1988, 8:00 p.m. Every senior has been waiting for this day to come and at last it does. I thought this day would never come ' said Doug Collins. A sense of pride and accomplishment overcomes the seniors as they line up for the processional. Finally, the time comes to stride across the stage and each receives a hard-earned diploma and congratulations from administration, family and friends. Graduation marks the end of their high school careers and the beginning of a life outside the walls of Riddle High School. It's kind of scary thinking about what is going to happen after graduation, said Jarvis Pennington. Each senior must now look toward the future. For some it means preparing to leave for college, for others entering the work force. I Salutatorian Cory Nichols welcomes the audience in his address. Candlelighters Sam Kurtz and Vinita Crippen led the way for the seniors during the processional. Graduation Receiving a diploma is an exciting moment. Frank McCartt eyes his diploma while Don Cobb gives a thumbs-up after receiving his. Juan Navarro can't hold his excitement and lets out a shout of happiness. Graduation Dan Endicott and Lome Gust wait in the library for the processional. Valedictorian Kris Leichner told a story of two frogs named George and Ralph that illustrated accomplishment. Kris called the seniors survivors” and told them that they were the ones who did not give up. Brenda Currier and Lome Gust also addressed the audience. Brenda explained the class motto and reminded the seniors that success was not given but earned. All they have to do is believe in themselves to earn that success. Graduation Tricia Walker ended the evening by reading a farewell poem that she had written for the seniors. Remembering the past Planning the future The junior senior banquet was the time and place to remember the past and start planning for the future. Everyone had a chance to recall and laugh about all the things the class had done together. Everybody seemed to enjoy the banquet by overindulging themselves on the Chinese food, the menu consisted of pork fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, mar far chicken, barbeque pork, and pork chow mein. The banquet was opened by Vinita Crippen followed by Senior History read by Angie Montgomery and Juan Navarro, Senior Prophecy read by Mike Kurtz and Kristen Leichner, Senior Wills read by Kim Ostberg, Jody Pettingill, and Edie Scharbrough, and a farewell poem to the senior class of 1988, written and read by Tricia Walker. Good luck seniors! HOW MUCH CAN YOU FIT IN YOUR MOUTH?! Mike Kurtz is about to find out. Mike Kurtz and Kristen Leichner pause for a moment to laugh a little while they read the senior class prophecy. Nothing like a fake smile to act like you're having fun, right? Just kidding. Angie Montgomery, Edie Scharbrough, and Kris Leichner show off their crystal glasses given to the seniors by the junior class. Jr Sr Banquet REMEMBER WHEN... Much of your life is spent waiting; waiting in lines, for people, for trains, for food. Cory Nichols waits for the evening show at the Polynesian Cultural Center during the band's tour in Hawaii. The senior heater is the gathering place in the morning, during lunch and after school. Mike Kurtz, Juan Navarro, Doug Collins and Cory Nichols discuss their upcoming government test. Or is it the party last Saturday night? Brent performs his usual goofing off in shop. By putting plastic over his mouth and sucking in he can make a loud pop. Brent, of course, was successful in this classroom disturbance. Getting a date for the prom is difficult for some people. This lady visited during an assembly to look over the possible senior dates. Candids Just about anyone you ask will say the next worst thing to homework and tests is writing. The writing assignments range from little paragraphs to ten page research papers. Once you've gotten your paper back from being corrected you'll notice there's even more writing (usually green) on your once neat paper, that was done by someone other than your teacher. This person is Diana Sparks, better known as “The Reader.” Ms. Sparks does a lot of work that goes unrecognized. You might think that she is being critical when she writes on your paper more than you do, but she is really just trying to help. With all of that green writing over your high school years it's almost inevitable that in the future when you see green writing you think “Remember When...

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND and supports the junior Senior Banquet and Prom. But finding the money to finance the events is not easy. The juniors had to raise about two thousand dollars. In order to raise the money, the juniors focused their attention on the concession stand at the home football and basketball games. A new concession stand was built (the old Snack Shack is now the teachers room) across from the office. Although not all juniors participated in the fund raising events, there were enough students to make the concession stand a success. This year was very hard and time consuming, but the junior Class did a good job and should be proud of themselves, said Jeff Miller.

No longer are the students Freshmen to be picked on, nor are they yet upperclassmen. Sophomores do not have a helping hand in Prom, are unable to attend Junior Senior Banquet, and find it difficult to be noticed by varsity teams. But despite these drawbacks, the in-betweeners still manage to make the best of their year.

Lightning-caused fire swept through our local forests. In the first 24 hours nearly 10,000 acres of forest land went up in smoke. Major fires burned around Jim Creek, Upper North Myrtle Creek, Bilger Creek, Dodson Butte, Lick Creek, and Canyon Mountain. Local fire camps were set up at Tri-City Airport and in Canyon-ville. The Red Cross, located in the Coffenberry Junior High School cafeteria, helped feed the 4,500 firefighters who were on the fire lines. A week after the fires were started the state sent in 350 Na- tional Guardsmen to help aid the fight. During the fires 600-700 residents of North Myrtle Creek were evacuated from their homes. Governor Neil Goldschmidt estimated the cost of the fires at 15-20 million dollars (1 Vi million dollars per day), with a total of 317 million dollars in resource value lost. Three weeks later the fires were controlled after burning a total of 90,000 acres of land. Freshmen FRESHMAN BEGIN THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER It was so much easier in the eighth grade.

OUR ENFORCERS While the teachers can never hope to know all the students in the building, it's not hard for the students to recognize the 20 teachers. However, when you first walked through the school this year you probably didn't recognize two new faces. One of the new faces is Gary Stevens, our principal. Mr. Stevens is really pleased with the students and staff. He said, The quality of the school, kids, staff and community support is really nice. The other new face added to the hall is that of Mike Hughes, our counselor. Mr. Hughes thinks the move to Riddle has been rewarding, in that the students have great attitudes. He says, I want to be a positive and outgoing counselor. He. would like to have kids who want to go to college start their planning as early as the seventh grade. There are some new programs that our counselor would like to start, such as Students Against Drunk Driving, refusal skills against drugs and to have programs for all students to help them make and realize the choices they have in school. One of the extracurricular activities Mr. Hughes has started is weight lifting. He and several students lift at 6:30 in the morning. He said, I wish to have more students interested in lifting. They had a lift-a-thon, to help get more weights and a bigger area to lift. I hope to have a great year, says Mr. Hughes. The quality of the school kids, staff and community support is really nice.

They range from F.H.A. to the Lettermans club. Anyone can get into some sort of club, if they just try hard enough. One must achieve some kind of award or honor to be accepted into the club. For example, to be accepted into High School Honor Society one must achieve a set C.P.A., on the other, one of the easier organizations to get into is Science Club. All one must do is be taking a science class. But whatever the specific club requirements or activities might be, what you achieve by being in an organization is the satisfaction of being successful.

They held a service activity dance after the Cow Creek Classic, admission was one can of food that was given to the needy. They also had a banquet in March honoring its members.

Well, that's not how it's done. There are special, almost superhuman, qualities that a person must have. For instance, patience (lots of patience), writing skills, excellent vision, and a good sense of humor. First, everybody is assigned layouts that they -are responsible for completing. Each layout must be designed and approved. Then pictures have to be taken and developed, and a story has to be written telling about the layout. After all this, you are still not done, because there are a lot of adjustments and always something that needs to be done over again, and again, and again...

STATE CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP FINISH U.3J BANK As in many schools sports play an important role in the development of the student. Many students put more effort in their sport practices than their academic classes. Strict eligibility requirements ensure that the student maintains his school work. Students who participate in a sports program gain such qualities as fair play, good sportsman- ship, team effort, ethical conduct, self-discipline as well as developing physical fitness. For many students the sharpest memories will be of a league championship, a difficult game that was won, or a friendship that developed during practices. Students often talk of a past sport event by Mrphig, Remember when.... SPOm I 45 AN UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE Riddle High School has a weight room that has developed and helped many young men and women. The motto for this room is, Through this doorway one learns to believe, excel and achieve for one's self. Thanks need to go out to the administration, superintendent, maintenance crew and staff in supporting and assisting students in maintaining this room. This year has been one of tremendous growth for weight training at Riddle High School. Weight Lifting Brenda Currier was one of the few girls that turned out each morning to lift. She also participated in the lift-a-thon. Mr. Hughes started the morning weight lifting sessions that drew many dedicated students. Mr. Hughes himself lifted each morning showing the students how it is done. Eric Creech prepared his mind to lift during the lift-a-thon. His face shows the mental and physical strain of weight lifting. Jason Jansen, helped by Mr. Hughes, places his hand in just the right spot to attempt to lift a weight he has never lifted before.

Cheerleaders We were a team with great potential—with ourselves being our own worst enemies! Eric Creech Riddle High School's Varsity Football Team, under head coach Gene Forman, set out to prove how tough they could be. The team was led by Seniors Rob McCorkle, Dan Pinch and Lome Gust, and Junior Eric Creech. The team was largely composed of underclassmen, making this a very young team. This was mainly a rebuilding year. The team had two very tough games that they won. The first was with LaPine; the score was 34-0. This is the first year that Riddle has beaten LaPine. The last was with undefeated Glendale. It was a really nerve-racking game but, despite this being Glendale's Homecoming, the Irish pulled through with a win.

The Irish lost a heartbreaker to St. Mary's in overtime and lost to Yoncalla by one point to knock us out of the playoffs. The Irish then dumped unbeaten Glendale in the final game of the season.

The effort they put in proved to be beneficial as the Varsity placed second in district and then went on to the state meet in place fifth. Rob Pagura ran an outstanding race to place seventh at the state meet held at Lane Community College in Eugene. | The boys team had enough members to make a two team split with a junior varsity and a varsity division. The team was unable to get enough girls to make a full girls team.

Volleyball Winners In Pride Year of Experience ''The girls really gave it their all.. An extra amount of pride and enthusiasm shown by the Lady Irish on the court helped the J.V. and Freshmen teams as they both came out on top with winning records. The varsity girls gained an impressive win over the St. Mary's Crusaders. The girls really gave it their all, especially the last game against St. Mary's, said Coach Norris. Coach Norris thought that this victory was the most positive note of the season.

They had a whole new coaching staff and a totally rebuilt team which at the beginning of the season had many troubles but managed to get it together during the regular season. Most of the Irish games were close and decided by a last-second shot or in long demanding overtime. Although the Irish had a disappointing end to their season, losing to St. Mary's in the second round of the District playoffs, they continued to give the home crowd something to cheer about.

The varsity coach was Karyn Swanson and the J.V. and assistant varsity coach was Karin Jackson. Coach Swanson, who is also the Girls' Softball coach, was already familiar with the girls and knew what to expect out of them, but Coach Jackson was a new face to the girls this year. The senior girls who played this year were Tara Traylor, Brenda Currier, and Kristen Leichner. Two Junior players, Tamie Day and Teresa Simpson, were nominated 1st team All League. The varsity team made it to the District Playoffs but lost to Yoncalla in the first game. Coach Jackson said, Both teams had a good season overall and showed lots of improvement.

In order to succeed in track, one must be willing to give 100 percent to the sport and this demands much time and effort. Although it is not required, the majority of the athletes spent an additional two to three hours daily working out. Practices were long and hard, pushing each athlete to display his or her full potential and this showed in the district meet. The boys took the district meet for the second consecutive year. As for the girls, Deena Meshew took first in the shot and second in discus. Mischa Flores took second in the javelin. Jim Myrick went to state in two events, first in the triple jump and a leg in the 400 relay. Rob Pagura took first in the 400 meter race and was a leg in the relay.

They then went on to the state playoffs, beating Sacred Heart 11-1 and advancing to the quarterfinals with a game with No. 2 ranked Regis. Things went well at the beginning of the game with Regis as Riddle took a 2-0 lead. But then some errors gave Regis a chance to bring in three runners winning 3-2 and ending the hopes for a state championship for the Irish. The team finished the season with a 20-7 win loss record. The team was coached by Mr. Cillaspie, assisted by Mr. Norton. Mr. Cillaspie was proud of the teams' effort. “The kids showed tremendous development ' said Mr. Cillaspie.

There are a number of activities that occur yearly at Riddle High School. Among the most popular is Homecoming. For a week the cheerleaders not only try to raise the athletes' spirit but also the student body's. Each day of the week everyone in the high school is asked to dress up in crazy costumes. At the end of each day the students meet in the gym for contests between classes. On Friday, after the parade, the student body gathers at the football field. Here the cheerleaders cheer and hold more contests. Then they total all of the points received by each class and announce the winning class. Homecoming week each year is filled with a number of memories for everyone to look back on and say Remember When... Activities A Traditional Experience The Irish have been doing the Dance Of The Elves for many years. The incoming Freshmen and the new students must do the Dance Of The Elves to become a member of the Royal Irish. Many of the people that have to do the dance think that it is embarrassing but just want to get it over with. This year it was very difficult because of the -big class of the Freshmen and the many new students. This is a very good example of the Irish tradition that we are so very proud of. I WAS REALLY EMBARASSED AT FIRST BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT OF FUN.' Dawn Hackett A Special Day For All Ages This year's Grandparent's Day was out-of-the-ordinary. Each of our foreign exchange students gave a special speech about themselves and their country. Also, there was a traditional tea ceremony by our Japanese foreign exchange student Miki Akiyama, which was very interesting by itself. But the highlight of the day by far was the excellent performance by the Jr. High and High School chorus and bands. The day began with the grandparents in the library for dessert and the speeches. The grandparents then attended class with their grandsons and granddaughters followed by the musical concert. For many of the grandparents, the day brought back many memories of their childhood days. SPIRITS I6NITE It was a warm Thursday night. Many students, parents, and kids were waiting for the bonfire to start. However, during the pep assembly they were told that the bonfire was cancelled because of dry conditions and high temperatures. Despite this disappointment the excited spirit was still alive as the classes fought for first place during Homecoming Week. Even though each class tried hard to win the competitions the seniors still managed to pull out one final victory to end their last homecoming at Riddle High School. Dr conditions and high temperatures disappoint bonfire crowd. Among the games that were held during the pep assemblies were the tricycle races. Dan Pinch shows how his years of practicing have paid off as the seniors cheered him on to a third place finish. The other events that were held were the burping contest and tug of war. These games were very competitive between the classes and the close scoring went down to the very last event of the week. What will you remember most about homecoming?

Homecoming Looking for a little TALENT An enthusiastic crowd and twelve talented acts got the 1987 talent show underway. Martin Follose and Juan Navarro co-hosted the sixth annual show. This year will be Juan's last year as a co-host, due to graduation. Once again, although asked never to return, Mrs. LaWiggins showed up wearing her new hat and hairdo. Of our four new judges this year, three of them were new to the area. Mr. Stevens, Mr. Hughes, Ms. Fisk, and Maxine Yates were the 1987 judges. Prizes were awarded to the top four places with first place receiving a trophy. This year's winners were: Dan Cripp, Marco Poppelmann, the Schofield family, and Rex Putman. But as everyone knows, anyone who is brave enough to get up on stage and show their talent is a true winner.

Andy is trying to win a bet made with Alice that with the right clothes and makeup he can fool people into believing that he is an old man. After all is revealed, Sarah and Andy get back together and Grandmother gets the attention she needs. The play was written by Drama Advisor, Mr. Follose. “This is the first play that I have written and I can think of no other cast and crew that I would have for its premiere performance ' said Mr. Follose. The play was performed on April 22 and 23 on the grade school stage. Bock: V. Crippen, D. Cobb, D. Hackett, E. Scharbrough, M. Pop-pel man, H. Tuveson, C. Schofield, B. Currier, V. Nelson. Front: A.

For most students this was their first trip to Hawaii and for many their first flight. It was the best group of students that I have ever taken on a trip. It was a great experience for my students, said Mr. Follose. The band performed for three private high schools while in Hawaii: St. Francis (an all-girl school), Punahou, and Academy of the Pacific. Of the three, St. Francis High School had the most enthusiastic audience that the band has ever experienced. And because of their enthusiasm the band performed one of its best concerts. Who will ever forget that Juan Navarro had to kiss JoDee Pettengill's feet due to the pressure from the St. Francis audience? As host and hostess, JoDee and Juan took the audience through the concert, which was entitled: Time—Past, Present and Future. The concert included Preston O'Hara singing The Twist, Betsy the Cow, the Riddle High School Cheerleaders (with a special guest appearance by Marty Jackson), commercials, and a visit from creatures from another planet. The concert took plenty of planning and work and also required extra talent (such as blowing one's nose) from many of the band members. The highlight of our sightseeing part of the trip was when Kris Leichner and Mike Kurtz became part of the evening show at Sea Life Park. Mike was taught a unique form of hula, while Kris sang, unrehearsed, The Greatest Love of All. The band also visited such sights as the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay where they snorkled, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Waimea Falls Park, The International Market, and the famous Waikiki Beach where everyone worked on their tans. Special thanks were given to chaperones Kathy Matthews, Esther Kurtz, Maxine Yates, Linda Stremcha, Leona Leichner, Jean Follose, and to the private nurse. Marge Hosack. Thanks also went out to Carl Lunderstadt and to Scott Adams (remember him?) for filling in the holes in the band and to Don Cobb for photographing the trip for the yearbook. It was a trip that few will ever forget. I know that I won't, said Mr. Follose. Band Tour This page sponsored by Doris Ellefson Bill Blankenship and others rest from a period of snorkeling.

The temperature was about 80 degrees at around 6:30 p.m. Kris Leichner not only sang during the concerts but also at the evening show at Sea Life Park. Kris sang one of her own songs at the concerts and “The Greatest Love of All” at Sea Life Park. At the Polynesian Cultural Center Esther Kurtz, as well as many others, made her own headband. After a quick fit job, Esther wore her head-band for the rest of the day. Constructing a space ship that lit up, gave off smoke, and had a door that opened and closed was no easy task.

When they arrived there it was horrible; it was raining seals and whales. That was the worst day on the whole trip, said Jeff Miller. Thursday morning it was a beautiful day. That day we found the clan at the intertidal pools working hard on their worksheets. On the way back to camp they stopped at the botanic gardens to see the flowers. Then the group hit the beach where they held a dam building contest where a lot of people got wet. The trip back was a cold one. The evening's activities were exams and a billiards tournament with the military people at the army base where they stayed. The next morning everybody got packed and ready for home. On the way home we found a lot of people sleeping or gazing out the windows, daydreaming about what they had experienced. The 1988 Biology trip survivors!

Like the high school's Honor Society, the junior high has the Junior Honor Society. Included in the junior high's sports program are: football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling and track. The junior high is a lot like the high school, but there is still that fear during the freshman year. The fear of being the underclassmen.

Raider Wrestlers Take Them OWN The Junior High wrestling season was a moderate success. After managing to survive a flu and poison oak epidemic near the season's end we were able to give Glendale a strong run for their money at the District Tournament. Our efforts came up short as the team managed to place second, but they did have many individual and team successes that the wrestlers can be proud of. One of those was a 59-12 dual meet thrashing of Jo Lane on their home turf. It was a season I will remember for the team's ability to bounce back against insurmountable odds and still have fight left in them when all hope seemed lost.

Miss Jenks Cheerleaders A Frustrating Season Both Junior High Boys' and Girls' Basketball teams just didn't have everything it took to win this year. As Mr. Forman said, It was a frustrating season for my 8th grade girls' team because I thought they were a lot better than they were and the mental mistakes got the best of us. But he also mentioned that they were a fun group of kids to work with. Mr. Jones, the 8th grade boys' coach, said his players Jiad good attitudes and wanted to win, but only finished with 5 wins and 6 losses.

Your locker must be decorated to show your personality. Nikki Powell has her locker posted with pictures and letters. Candids 101 Like water in a stream, time passes on never to return again. The 1987-88 school year is now a memory. There were happy times and sad; a unique year for most. The success of the cheerleaders, band tour, track team, and the softball and baseball teams highlighted the year, as well as graduation. Riddle High School graduated one of the largest senior classes (48 students) in several years. For graduation Kris Leichner wrote and read a poem, dedicating it to the class of 1988. The 1988 Shamrock closes with her poem. Closing Four years passed by so quickly They surely went by fast What was once a distant future Is now an absent past. There's memories remembered And lots of good times, too We'll remember in our hearts Those times that helped us through. A time of growing up for us Learning to survive Now that they are over The memories are alive. And as we go our separate ways It's sad and yet we know Someday we will all meet again When we've had time to grow. So let's look back on these years With happiness and pride And know that we can always say Those were the best times of our lives.
