The five days prior to Homecoming, Spirit Week, turned out to be better than any previous year. There were many activities which went on and lasted throughout the whole week. On Monday the dress up was “Mix-Match”. They also had the traditional freshman clean-up which started at 9:20. All freshman headed for Rogue River and arrived back at noon. The freshman boys cleaned up the “R”f while the girls cleaned up our town and football field. Tuesday was “Farmer day” which was followed by “Nifty Fifties Day” on Wednesday. Wednesday was the big day for all junior and senior girls. Practicing and preparing all week for the Powder Puff game brought the junior and senior girls onto Beck Field at 8:00 p.m. for a game that resulted in a 12-12 tie in the fourth quarter, and led them into a “sudden death”overtime. Both teams played tough and the juniors managed to break through and make a touchdown which made the final score 18-12. The Powder Puff game had four princefs which were: Fr. Shane Satterfield, Soph. Rick Townsen, Jr., Craig Marsh, and Sr. Roger Franko. The king was unanimous, of course, Roger Franko. On Thursday all students dressed up for “Little Kiddies Day”. Most of the Seniors took a personal leave to go hunt for wood for the bonfire which would start after the J.V. footbal game and Serpentine Parade. Friday came fast for R.R. football team; that night was the big game. 1. Lynn Lynch is boogie-ing in the gym with her pschedelic sunglasses. 2.

Assemblies went on all week long, but Friday s was the winner: Mr. Rensi and Mr. Smith both got the honor of kissing the pig while the students at R.R.H.S. got fired up to go get a victory. The end of the football game found our own Chieftains with a victory over their adversary, North Valley, by a margin of 15-6. During half time the four princesses appeared out on the field to see who would be queen. The Princesses were: Fr. Karen Lynch; Soph. Janet Parker; Jr. Wendy Holubiczko; and Sr. Karen Harries. From these four, Janet Parker was crowned 1979-80 Homecoming Queen. Crowning Janet Parker was last yearfs Queen, Debbi Hendrix. The court, as the rest of school, attended the Homecoming Dance held after the game. Music was provided by “Space Shuttle . During the event, a dance contest was held, in which Senior Tom Winkelhausen and former R.R.H.S. student, Lisa Hawkins, walked with the honors of first place. Not only was “Spirit Week a success for the Chieftains, but beating their opponents in a crucial “Homecoming game made this a “coming home to remember. 1.

One new event was the Sweethearts Dance on the very old Valentine's Day. Although the disc jocky's selection of music left much to be desired, the overall effects were more than good. The Yearbook and FHA sponsored the dance and are planning to make it an annual event. Not only was the dance new, but we also had a new Sweetheart's Court. The original King and Queen of Hearts areKen Tocher and Jodi Smith. After pictures and ceremonies, Ken, Jodi, and the rest of the court led the other people in the next dance. Overall opinion by the student body brought pretty positive thoughts of the Dance. In the coming years the Yearbook and FHA are going to try to make this more than exciting, they're going to take this new tradition and make it something to remember. 6 17 18 Rogue Rivers football and basketball teams suffered many losses during the 1980 season, but the Rogue River High School cheerleaders kept with their enthusiasm and spirit and made the teams feel like winners at every game. Cheerleader’s Show Spirit During the early part of July, the Varsity cheerleaders spent a week of intensive training at Oregon State University's Cheerleading Clinic in Corvalis, where they were awarded three Superior ribbons. Not only did the cheerleaders put all effort out on their routines, but they also worked extremely hard raising money for new outfits during this year. During the summer, they had three car washes, a yard sale, worked at the Josephine County Fair working in a booth for the Chieftain Chanters. All these activities allowed them to raise enough money for uniforms. The project that raised most of the money for their uniforms was the one where they sold ads for the football and basketball programs. The Junior Varsity and Freshmen cheerleaders had a very difficult task of keeping school spirit high without spectators behind them. This, they were able to accomplish, due to their motivation. All had hopes of returning next year to serve on the Junior Varsity and Varsity squads. When not cheering, they were hard at work trying to raise money for their uniforms. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders held a dance, a raffle, and worked in the canteen and were able to raise $240 for their uniforms, while the freshmen cheerleaders raised all their money for their uniforms by having a wood raffle at the beginning of the year.

JASMJOflS Am 3ADS 20 The Rogue River High School student body displayed a lot of different fashions throughout the year. However, some garments are seen more often than others. San Francisco Riding Gear could be easily spotted every day. The more elegant attire was worn mostly by seniors, such as Linda Elledge. One of the most apparent fads at Rogue River High School is chewing. Chewers could be seen every lunch hour in the parking lot. However, this fad seems to be dying out because of objections from the chewers girlfriends. 1) Matt Parker, Steve Bush, Byron Whipple, and Ken Tocher show bow well dressed they can actually be. 2) Linda Elledge displays her beautiful fur coat. 3) Everyone wears suspenders, as Dave Staker displays. 4) Dianne Winsbury and Bonnie Irvin show the latest wear in casual jeans and tops. 21 we’ve qoz rowghz Throughout the year, the Juniors worked diligently raising money to cover the costs of the prom. They accomplished their goal of 600.00 dollars for this grand event by sponsoring a turkey raffle, donut sale, dances, and operation of the canteen. The prom got under way at 8:00 pm, to the sounds of “Equinox” luring the sixty couples in attendance onto the dance floor. Laura Ward was crowned the 1979-80 Prom Queen with princesses Lynn Lynch, Kelly Olmstead, Jeanette Chabot, and Linda Elledge making up the remainder of the court. When asked how she felt about this year's prom, Laura Ward stated, “I want to thank the Junior Class for giving me one of the happiest moments of my high school years.” The dance unexpectedly ended early because of electrical difficulties. For Seniors, “We've Got Tonight” reflected their last formal ocassion before graduation. 1. Crowned Queen. Laura Ward, beams with delight as Scott Lillie escort.

Lourie Duke, member of F.H.A., has really put a lot of her time and effort in making the club a more get up and go, spirited, organization. They participated in a bake sale, bottle drive, and stationery sale, to raise money for the club, and also sponsored a super skat-a-thon. Not only did they have money raising activities, but F.H.A., along with RO-H1-AN, sponsored the first annual Sweethearts Dance. Though this dance didn't raise a great amount of money, it did show that clubs could come together, and work as one to put on a student involved activity. Mrs. Driskill was quoted as saying, “We are really trying to change our image. We are more than just cookie bakers and a maid service! We hope to learn skills to help us function better in society! That seems to be the new motto for the future F.H.A. club. 1. Tracy Coleman, Mrs. Driskill, Lori Brown, and Kathy Brooks, were just a part of 1980 F.H. A. organizers. 2.

Ten people entered. Despite the fact that not to many people participated there were some very interesting projects. Hogue River High School did not go to the State Science Fair because there where not enough entrants. Hopefully, next year there will be more participants and Hogue River will compete in the State Science Fair. Mr. Levesque, science teacher and coordinator of the Science Fair, worked hard all year to organize and prepare for the event. 28 1) Kip Holloman and George Bradley displaying their science project. 2) Brian Champlain working hard on his project. 3) Kevin Skeels goofing off in Biology.

There have been many changes within the year's time. We’ve learned the privi-ledges of receiving our juke box back, along with two fooshall tables, and two ping-pong tables for the lunch hour. We have not only gained a lot. but we have plenty to look forward to. such as: The Senior Breakfast, Skip Day, and the biggest one of them all, the Senior Skip Trip. Our class may not be the largest to graduate from Rogue River High, but we have made the most impressive growth in the school’s history: Gains through co-operation. Now, we’re going our separate ways, but the saying will always stay with the 1980 Senior Class of R.R.H.S.: “Pride is on our side.” Kim Beltinick Xickie Bolen Linda Brown Steve Bush D 34 r Jeanette Chabot Kris Daily Sandee Davis lion Dallarhide 1.

Donning their caps and gowns of green and white, Seniors, for the last time, reflected on their years of education, while Robert Had lock gave the invocation. Pastor, Vern Marks, was the guest speaker, emphasizing to the Seniors the importance that they will play in bringing forth a better society. Kathy Stone, member of the graduating class, sang for the audience, “The Hungry Years dedicating the melody to the Senior class. Rick Lentini and Karen Harries, Valedictorian and Saluta-torian respectively, conveyed their messages to their class. The class of 1980’s theme was “Tomorrow is not promised, so let us take today and make the most of it . Tomorrow is on loan. We can use it for dreams to set our goals by. We can only plan, save, and think about tomorrow. If we use the tools for money, along with our heads and hearts, then we will be honoring destinies we choose, and living our lives to the fullest today. 1.

They do this by encouraging attendance to the ball games, matches and meets by making signs, and helping the cheerleaders in any way they can. The Pep Club also started the idea of secret admirers who rallied the athletes and brought better spirit among the athletes. The 1979-1980 school year was one of work, profit, and fun for the Spanish Club. The goal of the Spanish Club was to raise enough money to take a trip to Mexico. The Mexican trip had an undetermined amount of days but the club had raffles, bake sales, and a trash-a-thon. Gary Beat, Spanish Club advisor, hopes that by next year during spring break the club will take its’ long awaited “viaje” to Mexico.

SO admjwszka zjojv When the students started school this year they were surprised to find both male and female disciplinarians. Their bad habits were curbed and the attendence was brought to an amazing state high. Mrs. Driskill held the whip for the girls and Mr. Springer was in charge of the ball and chain. Mr. Moore did a lot for the school spirit when he helped bring in the foosball tables and the juke box, while Mr. Davis was in charge of all of the problems of athletics.

In the monthly meetings the Student Council members revised and rewrote our Constitution. The members were almost too active. They brought us some music in the commons in the form of a juke box, and they brought us entertainment in the form of foos ball tables and ping pong tables. In the latter part of the year they attempted to pull of a movie but were turned down at the first attempt due to a lot of controversy brought on by some overconcerned parents. However, the Club did conclude the year by bringing the movie, “Smokey The Banditfr to our students.

Activity in the Honor Society was better than equal to past years. Mr. Southern led the group through a productive, exciting and rewarding year. The Club brought in 7 new members, which shows a very good future for the organization. The president, Mary Vermersch, conducted the Club all year toward an enterprizing trip to the coast, and on the Memorial Day weekend they finally made it. The officers for the club were Mary Vermersch, President; Lynn Lynch, Vice President; Ron Dollarhide, Treasurer; June Southern, Secretary. The final District Math meet was held at S.O.S.C., and the Tangent team from R.R.H.S. brought a third place trophy home. All members did an outstanding job, especially Mary Vermersch, who previous to the final meet, had been the point leader for her league. The Math League this year consisted of Brian Champlain, Mary Vermersch, Lynn Lynch, June Southern, Russ Logue, Karen Harries, Doug Shaw, Julie Peterson, Jon Stricter, Mike Lynch, Kurt Nadje, Harrison Cloudous, and left out but not least Lisa Mosher. RO-HJ-AW Soamg Higher Chan ever This year the Ro-Hi-An soared higher than ever with new home theme “In-Flight”. By making more money to add more color pages and having more inspiration, the Ro-Hi-An class feels this will be the best annual ever. The class this year was very inexperienced with only the yearbook advisor Irma Makepeace, and this year's Editor Byron Whipple returning to guide the class through the strenuous Annual-producing year. Brian Champlain, who was new this year, along with the rest of the class, was assigned the Co-Editorship of the Annual. Our enthusiastic and sometimes Over-Aggressive Advisor, Eccentric Editors, Scrupulous Staffers, and Frantic Photographers put all their ideas and frustrations together to meet deadlines and handle the perplexities of yearbook. The end result turned out to be one that we were really proud of. 1.)

The Rogue River F.F.A. chapter steered it's projects towards success. The beginning of the year was met with a new greenhouse in which the horticulture class reaped experience and profit. The highlights of the F.F.A. activities were Donkey Basketball and the annual snow trip to Aft. Ashland. The members independently worked on their projects to meet the deadline for the fair in August. The highest awards were presented to outstanding members, with Becky Jones receiving the Star Chapter Farmer award, and David Davis receiving the Star Greenhand award. The officers for the 1979-1980 year were: Kelly Olmstead, President: Eric Guthrie, Vice President: Beckey Jones, Treasurer: Tammie Miranda, Secretary: Mike Lynch, Reporter: Kevin Olmstead, Sentinel.

Their peppy version of “On Hogue River99 brought everyone to their feet with hands clapping and feet stomping. A lot of credit must be given to the band for all their practice and hard work so that they could perform as outstanding musicians. Mr. Harmon’s 29 band members are a definite credit to this school. The 1980 band officers were Betsy Bigham, Shirley Rough ton, Renee Suttora, and Gail Urns-cheid. 58 swm MOM This year's Swing Choir worked harder than ever to raise money for the Mt. Hood festival. One of their original fund raising projects was what they called a rock-a-thon. Swing choir members went out and got people to sponsor them to “rock out in a rocking chair. The more energetic people went as long as 15 hours. The Swing Choir also sold magazines to bring in more money.

Advised by Mr. Mooref these young men provided fire protection for residents of the Rogue River area. The squad is often called out of school, through the call box in the office, when an emergency arises. This years girls varsity club raised money and went on frequent trips to Medford Superior Courts to play ra-quetball with their advisor, Mr. Rensi chaperoning. The Arrow this year worked extremely hard to publish eight issues. Under the supervision of Sue Misner, and determination of Ron Dollarhide with ad sales, financing of the paper was made possible. The most complex problem that the Arrow staff ran into, was meeting deadlines. “Although the paper came out on time each issue, it was due to the Courier’s speedy printing—not our punctuality 9 advisor Sue Misner, was quoted saying. “This year's Ad sales were such a success that the staff did not have to sponsor any of their yearly money raisers such as car washes, candy sales, etc. The year was rather hectic, as explained by Mrs. Misner, “One more year like this and Til be completely gray!” 1.

Through persistent determination of Dance Team captain Michelle Gildehans and assistant Kona Coleman, the team organized fund raising events: They held newspaper and bottle drives, worked at the Fair, and went caroling during Christmas. Spectacular routines by Dance Team during half times, added excitement to the festivities. Their attendance at a dance workshop in Grants Pass this past summer accounted for their perfected routines.

At this years rooster crow, an annual event held in the city of Rogue River, the Sophomores sold soft drinks i during the festivities' baseball games.

Rogue River tied with two other schools, North Valley and Henley, for a three way tie for second place in the Skyline Conference with a 2-2 record in league play. The R.R.H.S. Football team defeated North Valley and Lakeview, but lost to Phoenix and Henley in the first two games of the season. It took two wins and a miraculous comeback after two season loses to win themselves a chance to go to the state play-offs. The Chiefs then proceeded to win the draw out of the hat which broke the three way tie and sent the Chiefs to Burns, Oregon to meet the Burns Hilanders for the first round of the State play-offs. There were many personal accomplishments on the part of the players. They achieved this whole experience through their vigor and enthusiasm. It was gained through their own personal pain and sweat. The players set their goals and then sent themselves out to accomplish these goals. The going got tough and the Chiefs lost a few games, but rallied to comeback and win the important games and then the tie and proceeded to accomplish most of their goals. They mighty Chiefs played a very good game but their opponent got a few lucky breaks and a couple of second half touchdowns to defeat the Chiefs in the first round of the state AA Football play-offs over in Burns, Oregon. This defeat by the Burns Hilanders brought the mighty Chiefs hopes to a sad close. Even after all this, the Chieftain Football program landed five people in the first team all-league team, and three people in the second team all-league team, with one individual nabbing two honors. 86 Ron Dollarbide tries to sack the Douglas Quarterback before be passes. 2.

The line was anchored by Mark Trobaugh and Gerry Hill who opened up some gaping holes for runbacks Dave Crume and Steve Marval.

Spectators watched a team not only enjoying their competition, but viewed their persistent efforts, no matter what the score was. Coach Jim Kissee was quite satisfied with the way his team played, although he mentioned that their prime concern was a lack of concentration on the court. The teams progression took place, for the most part, on their court hustle, and they demonstrated a commendable effort in playing as a team rather than individuals. Skilled veterans, Wilma DeShon, Kris Mosher, and Darlene DeShon, not only gave invaluable experience to their team—but also gave needed assistance to those players who are still developing their skills in volleyball. Wilma DeShon was chosen by her teammates as Most Inspirational on the team, while Kris Mosher was voted Most Valuable Player. Unfortunately, Coach Kissee will not be returning next year to coach the girls volleyball; instead he will be teaching in California. 97 SPOKZS HONOKS The sports at Rogue River High School has a one of a kind tradition: No matter what sport it is, Rogue River shows their ability to play competitively. The football team went to the state playoffs; the tennis team was undefeated (so far); and the wrestling team did exceptionally well in the state wrestling meet. That is only a brief look at Rogue River's ability to play sports, but no matter what sport it is, Rogue River always seems to have an “overabundance” of coaches. It seems like some parents always think they know more than the coaches. Why can't the parents support their child without trying to coach them too. Mr. Wakefield and Ms. Nunley, both coaches for the high school, share the same feelings about the situation, as do the other coaches of the school. They would like to have seen the parents get involved, that involvement being one of supporting the coaches' decisions - not one of taking over the coaches' jobs. 1) Roger Franko proudly receives bis letter from Coach Richards. 2- Coach Hans Smith congratulates his J.V.

The team, led by Coach Wakefield, had a frustrating season with a 7-15 record. Despite the dissension on the team, the players played with all their hearts and showed a lot of pride out on the court. The team was led by Seniors Scott Lillie and Cecil Hamre. Lillie led the team in scoring and rebounding, and Cecil led the team in steals. All the team members had an abundance of playing time this year, including Freshmen Bob Willard and Eric Wakefield.

An important lesson that I have learned over the years was strongly reinforced in my mind. To achieve success in any situation attitude is definately more important than ability” Coach Rensi was quoted while he was interviewed. “Looking at the varsity fs won-loss record is not an accurate summary of our season. Success is not always measured by winning. Our squad was primarily composed of Sophomores, and I was proud of the way they battled against much older and more experienced opponents.” “The climax of our season occured on May 17, when Henley came to town. In our first encounter, they crushed us 17-0, and the play-off bound hornets were heavy favorites. Our Chiefs rose to the task and played inspired ball. Even though we lost in the 12th inning it was an exciting, outstanding effort in which we showed tremendous improvement. Progress and maturity were the signs of our own success.” “I would like to thank all of the young men who participated in the baseball program this season.

Finishing with a 10-10 record this season, the Girl’s Varsity Basketball Team, was complemented by their coach, Sid Smythe, as having had exceptionally good “court hustle” on both offense and defense. The coach expressed his pleasure with the way his varsity team performed throughout the season, with their much improved attitudes, and techniques in the game. Coach Smythe, a new member to the coaching staff at Rogue River High School, expressed his enjoyment of coaching this Girls Varsity team and plans to coach them next season. The number of absent players at practice, and the teams short practice period, handicapped the team the most. Henley and Illinois Valley were Rogue River’s toughest opponents. Kris Mosher most valuable and outstanding player, was Rogue River’s team captain. i VARSITY SCOREBOARD RR J 67 Douglas 47 StMlarysQ 36 B $oo kings 35 Myrtle Pt 47 Umiglas 47 Brook ii 38 North 35 Ashland 30 Henley 42 Lakeview 27 Illinois Valley 21 Myrtle Point 36 Phoenix 33 Coquille 34 North Valley 33 Henley 46 Lakeview 40 Illinois Valley 43 Phoenix 41 Ashland OP 33 28 43 38 16 26 44 41 59 30 47 31 51 23 30 64 35 67 37 39 6 1.

They improved as a team, in many ways: They have learned to be unselfish, creative on offense, and improved in their ucourt sense” and “poise”. The main reason why the team worked so well together is because the girls and their coach, Keith Ruska, had worked, two, three, and some even four years as members of the same team. The girls suffered tremendously on the amount of players they had for each game: The locker room looked like a hospital ward for most of the season. Rene Embrey and Renee Suttora, both veteran basketball players, suffered knee injuries, while Kim Eisele, also suffered a torn tendon that benched her for ten games; thus, diminishing the hopes of winning for the Chieftain team. The teams main competitors were Illinois Valley, North Valley, and Henley. Coach Ruska stated “I feel that this years' junior varsity team will give next years' varsity team, a depth that it has not had since I have coached at this high school.” 109 1.

They improved greatly in working with each other and basically learning what the plays were and how to excite them properly. When asked who was the teams most improved player, Miss Nunley replied, “Everyone on the team felt improved greatly but my pick for the most improved would be Janette Marquez.” As far as returning to coach next year. Miss Ninley does not wish to. She said one reason is that it conflicts with the guys’ game and she would also like to spend more time preparing for her classes. The coach also feels the girls are on their way to being a very successful ball club next year as J.V. team members. The freshman team did well since it is a step up from the caliber of ball they played in the eighth grade. They have done very well and learned a lot, all of which will help them next year, on the J.V. basketball squad. 2 I.

BOY’S GIRLS 3RD A T DISTRICT: BOYS TAKE 7TH AT STATE The 19S0 Rogue River High School Boyfs and GirTs Track Teams could only seem to manage a 3rd Place finish at the District meet. The track meet was held at the Southern Oregon State College track, in Ashland, Oregon, on May 15 16 with the state meet being held on May 23 2d at Mount Hood Community College, in Gresham, Oregon. The boy's and girl's teams each accomplished a lot this year with quite a few freshman and sophomores playing a major role. The two track teams, especially the boys, won most all to their pre-District track meets. The coaching staff included coaches Duane Wakefield, Hans Smith, volunteer coach Mr. Nugent, and Bill Willard. The dedication of the athletes was extraordinary and it took its tole on the weary opponents during the pre-District track meets which a high percentage of the time were won by the R.R.H.S. teams. Next years outlook is promising with freshman and sophomore standouts and hopefuls returning next year. Many personal goals were accomplished and quite a few school records smashed. The tradition of superb track athletes was proven once again this year and will prevail for many years to come. 1. Lori Willard out runs her competitors to win the 3000m run at District. 2. Kelly Purrier shows excellent form in the long jump. 3. Mark Sickle easily clears the bar in the pole vault at District. 4. Kris Mosher clears the bar with excellent style in the high jump. 5. Tom Winkelhausen unleashes another excellent throw in the javelin. He went on to take 1st at District and 3rd at State. 6. Scott Lillie takes the lead ahead of teammate Mark Sickle and other competitors in the 110m high hurdles. 7. Gail Umscheid throws the discus at District. 8. Debbie Hinkle about to unleash another excellent heave. 9. Dave Stoker exerts a lot of effort and builds up speed as he starts to pass his opponents. Zennis Captures 1st The Boy's and Girl's tennis team had an extraordinary season this year. At District the tennis team took home two first place trophies, one by Cindy Duke in singles and theother by Lynn Lynch and Linda Elledge in the doubles match. They also took home a second place by Mike Lynch and Rick Lent ini. Overall at District, the Girls proudly took home a first place and the Boys took home a second place prize. The team, taking three of it's members, proceeded on to state. Cindy Duke, took a fifth in singles during state competition, while the other two members, Mike Lynch and Rick Lent ini, tied for third place in the singles bouts. Hopes for next year's tennis team looks doubtful. The problem of the school budget seems to have taken the strings out of the players racquets. Mr. Beat, the tennis coach, stated that if next years athletic budget is reduced, quite possibly tennis will be one of the first sports to go. 4 2nd At District 4 118 • • I T I ' ----——j t 1:1. • I ■ U • p !' r v p, . { . ..., i • 4 f' -V ' N V VP I LT i J • l -st 1 miVivi • • ' v 'U r • Uy r L‘ •- ivuahV • w --' vd • ' - y t ) j. 1 � w p % V , « ♦ • «% % ♦ ' ' v r Tl M k � i .

Mary Salyer Debbie Poedtbe lone Jones The primary job of the counseling staff this year was to schedule students into classes. Having to work with a minimum number of electives, this job was overwhelming at times for both Ms. McLennan and Mr. Willard. The secondary job of the counselors” was to keep seniors informed on their progress in regards to basic competencies. The chore was never-ending, since seniors did work up to the last minute to meet these strenuous demands. All in all, the counseling center scheduled approximately 450 students this past year with commendable success. The kitchen staff, their hours beginning much earlier than when lunch was served', prepared hot meals everyday for the benefit of the students and teachers. Having had to work with a limited budget, cafeteria manager Bobbi Heer, and her staff, attempted to create a palatable menu that the students could appreciate. The energetic janitorial staff tried to keep our school clean even though the students made it difficult at times. The custodians, both janitorial and gardeners were seen scurrying through the halls with their cleaning carts, tools, and did everything possible to make our campus one that we could be proud of. 1.
