Childhood goes so fast If only we could go back To the dreams we played, Robin Helms Kathy Moore Albany, Oregon 97321 Volume Seven 1977-78 It’s Been Such A Long Time Yeh, it sure has been a long time, think back. . . can you remember in grade school? We were all so young and carefree. We played in life with no worries. Look at us now, we have learned so much since then, how to be in- dependent, to go on our journey of life. CLOCKWISE THIS PAGE: Children play carefree after a good lunchbox meal like mom used to pack. Seniors Brenda Sparks and Lind Champagne stare in amazement at the well-known Junk Food Junkies, Seniors Jim Lundberg, Garry Killgore, Kerwin Koos, and Randy Davenport as they shovel in as much junk food as they can before class starts. Senior David Lyons relaxes after an enjoyable performance at the South vs West game. The Rebel Flag is displayed in remembrance of the class of 77. Juniors Tami Slay, Cindy Easdale, Paige Blodgett, and Michelle Bilyeu head for a lunch time meeting place in Junior Hall.

The Seniors won. 2-INTRODUCTION But before our journey, it was made sure that everyone knew what was ahead of them and how to deal with problems they may face on their journey into the future. Everyone Should Be A Knowin . . . INTRODUCTION- 4 Time Doesn’t Wait For Me At first it seemed as though we had so much time to get things ac- complished, but now we've got to keep on running to catch up. It seems we've got so many goals to reach on our journey of life, but time passes us by so quickly. We will experience and learn so much on our travels. CLOCKWISE: President Jimmy Carter speaks to the press about the energy plan with a smile that shows his confidence. United Nations Sec- retary General Kurt Waldheim gestures during a news conference. He announces that he will at- tend the Israeli-Arab peace talks in Cairo.

The Trail Blazers are the NBA and World Cham- pion Basketball Team in 1977. This is one of many cars which lost control during the November icy, snow freeze. Fallen trees are a major tragedy for a number of families. They have caused road blocks and also a number of families are left without electricity due to breakages in power lines. Stu- dents are out of school a day due to the weather. (AP LASERPHOTO) Yet we've been taught to take life one step at a time, and not to leap into some- thing we're not ready for. When we want something worthwhile we aren't in a hurry, because good things only come in time. It Keeps On Rollin 5 OPPOSITE PAGE: T-shirts were a popular fad at South Albany in 1978. These are a few examples of some you may have seen. THIS PAGE: CLOCKWISE: Another fashion fad in 1978 was the well known pants-in-the-boots displayed by Katrina Smith. Next to her Janice Gillett wears the everyday casual look, blue jeans and a sweater. How- ever, if you feel a little more inspired, you could choose to wear something like Junior Donie Brown, the popular knee length dress with matching dress pants underneath. Omit the pants and you could choose the laceup sandals to set the dress off. A well-known sight is the class pendant. Senior Debbie Krzoska displays hers to show spirit and support for her class. Senior Steve Jones and Junior Peter Guzman wear pictured T-shirt and plaid shirt often seen at SAHS.

Everyone on the committee worked hard and did a super job, statedTriciaCoats, chairman of Red and Grey Days. The week began September 26 with daily competition involving overall day, hat day, and ending the week with the tradi- tional Red and Grey Day. Noon activities took off with an apple bobbing contest, followed by a treasure hunt, and a wheel- barrow race. Friday afternoon, a jr. vs. sr. powder-puff game was held. The game ended with a 6-6 score. The senior class dominated the week with a total of 8 points, sophomores 2 points, and juniors 1 point. Despite a loss to Corvallis and an in- jured player, Bryon Henderson, the Home- coming game showed enthusiasm and school spirit, commented Sr. Kathy Moore. The court was taken around the track in old fashioned cars, and presented to the audience by their fathers during half-time. This and all other events made An Old Fashioned Homecoming, fun, exciting, and enjoyable.

When we didn't achieve our goals, we were naturally disappointed. On the other hand, the season was very satisfying because of the maturity and pride that our team showed after we realized that we were not able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. - Jim Figoni VARSITY FOOTBALL SA 3 Crescent Valley 14 28 West Albany 0 35 McNary 12 7 Sprague 13 12 Corvallis 41 21 Wilson 0 29 North Salem 8 13 South Salem 20 13 Lebanon 8 SEASON RECORD 5 WINS-4 LOSSES The 1977-78 Rebel Football Team was better than their record indicated, according to Coach Jim Figoni. He was pleased with the team's performance after they realized that they couldn't get into the state playoffs. Although this had been their goal at the beginning of the season, they didn't give up after realizing it was not within their reach. The season was highlighted with big wins over West Albany and McNary. After a bad loss to Corvallis the Rebels only lost one game out of four. The loss came against South Salem in a game that was said to be the best effort in terms of people giving 100%. Team captain Tim Rediger was named first team all-state at defensive back while Lee Smith earned Honorable Mention Honors at the same position. Chris Small looks over the Defense before calling the signals against Lebanon. VAR. FOOTBALL-13 The team had a disappointing season, but we did finish with a great win over Lebanon.

FOOTBALL-15 Junior Varsity Football Season highlight for the Junior Varsity Football team was the first game of the season as they de- feated cross town rivals, West Albany. The outstanding players for offense were; Ted McWilliams, Randy Anderson, defense; Tom Valencia, Curt Cremer, Scott True and Barry Payton. The Rebels other two wins came at the end of the season; one was over North Salem 20-6, then they topped off their season with a 25-6 victory over Lebanon. Mental lapses were the team's main problem during the season, ac- cording to Coach Leininger. Their season ended with a 3-5 record. This Junior Varsity Football Team has as much potential as any group that has come through South Albany. -Coach Leininger OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCKWISE: Brian Kirchner runs for a touchdown.

FOOTBALL-17 Two Rebels Run To State The Rebel Harriers were invited to several invitational meets, at which a number of runners proved outstanding including: Juniors Greg Emerson, Dave Cano, and Randy Pruitt; Seniors Garry Killgore and Kerwin Koos. The consistency Killgore has shown throughout 4 years of cross country has earned him the Most Valuable Runner award for the third year. The improvement Koos showed in four years of running led him to be selected the Most Improved Runner three years consecutively. These quali- ties also placed Killgore and Koos in the state meet which produced two years of All-State honors for Killgore. The Fall season of Girls Cross Country was the first in South's history that the girls could compete as a full team with more than five members. The girls team was led by Senior Peggy Guyer and Sophomore Dawn Hyatt. The girls team was invited to several meets and proved to many other teams in the Dis- trict they were a strong contenders. Senior Stef Haslam sumed up the season, Even with the many different personalities we strived together as a team for success. Garry Killgore and Kerwin Koos had great seasons. The rest of the runners were young and need more running to make us a more competitive team next year. -Neil Webber OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCK- WISE: Garry Killgore pushes toward finish.

This goal was not reached, but it was a successful sea- son. According to Coach Randy Lary, We were not expected to be of any consequence in the Valley League and we were, because of improvements made by the team. Most Improved Gymnast honors went to Bob Lucero and Robin Rodgers. The team's Most Outstanding Gymnast award went to David Graham, who placed tenth in vaulting at the state meet. The high point of this sea- son was the West Albany meet where every- one turned in good performances and the Rebels won. Throughout the year the gymnasts learned valuable lessons about discipline and sacri- ficing, according to Coach Lary. We were definitely the most improved team in the District. -Randy Lary THIS PAGE CLOCKWISE: (TOP to BOTTOM): Bob Lucero performs an L on the parallel bars.

Nearly all of the girls received some type of injury throughout the season. The outlook is good for next fall as the girl's team will be larger and this year's team will have more experience. The winner of Most Outstanding Gymnast went to Torri Moore, and Most Improved Girls Gymnast was won by Sandy Proffitt. Both girls will be returning next fall.

Award winners included Laurie Rodgers, Wendy Baaske, outstanding players; Martha Kroessin, Mari Horvath, most inspirational; and Becky Ries, most improved. The year was summed up by Senior Laurie Rodgers, We all put out our best effort, but luck wasn't on our side. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL SA 0-12 Sprague 15-15 S-10 W. Albany 15-15 7-15-5 N.

But whether Cindy read their minds or not, the cast did a great job in pre- forming Up the Down Staircase, written by Bel Kaufman. The play centered around a new teacher, Sylvia Barret (por- trayed by Connie Hall) coming to Calvin Coolridge High School, with great hopes and dreams of teaching frand ideals to her stu- dents. Her dreams are soon shattered by the rowdy kids. In the begining scene Helen Arbuzzi (Christy Mitch) comes in the classroom only to drop-out. With like instances Sylvia be- comes more distressed throughout the play. Joe Ferrone (Dan Paige) is Sylvia's challenge. Joe is an un- caring student, looking for someone to crea about him. Sylvia tries with Joe but seems to fail. With one defeat too many, Sylvia goes to apply for another teaching job at Willowdale Junior College. The students find out and begin to show how much they really do like Miss Barret. The end of the term ends, another begins, and Sylvia Barret is still there. And to join her is Joe, and Helen ready to show that life is what they can make it. 26-FALL PLAY CAST Connie Hall .Sylvia Barrett Kim Dunigan .Beatrice Schachter Tim Wuth Kerry Hansen .

When asked, What is different about being a sophomore than being a freshman? , John Bloodgood, sophomore, responded, Ninth graders are so imma- ture. The question, What do you like about being a sophomore at South? was directed at West Albany High School transfer stu- dent, sophomore Terry Tate. She answered, The people are much nicer and more friendly here than at West. Sophomore Dave Runninghawk also listed nice people as one of the reasons he likes South.

The 1978 Rebel basketball team ended their seaon with a 12-10 record. The record could have just as easily been 20-2 accord- ing to Coach Sandgren. The Rebels got off to a good start in pre - season by winning five of their first six games. The Rebels went into a slump in the first half of Valley League play winning only two out of eight games. They picked up in the second half of Valley League play, win- ning five out of eight. Two of the losses were in overtime. In the last game of the season, the Rebels knocked Sprague out of second place with a 61-60 win, knowing they would still fall short of the playoffs. The team finished with a 7-9 Valley League record, one game out of the playoffs. Coach Sandgren felt that the turn around in the second half of the season was due to the seniors on the squad picking everyone up and making them work harder again. He considered the season suc- cessful because the team played great team ball despite the lack of experienced players. SA.

They lost many close games to fine teams. When asked about their best game, Jay Grubb replied, West Albany in the second round, because we were down by 27 in the third quarter and tied it, only to lose in 2 overtimes. Bill Wetmore thought their best game was against Lebanon where they were beaten the first time and came back and domi- nated them in the second game. The team was hurt somewhat by inconsistency at times this year but, they should be good additions to next year's Varsity. During my four years of coaching, I have not coached a group of ath- letes who have improved throughout the season as much as this team did this year. --Coach Carrigan S.A. 48 Thurston 61 28 Willamette 36 49 Beaverton 79 59 South Eugene 80 49 North Salem 48 47 Sprague 49 69 Molalla 55 44 Corvallis 52 54 Lebanon 61 36 South Salem 54 41 McNary 64 36 Crescent Valley 39 49 West Albany 60 49 North Salem 44 54 Lebanon 50 51 South Salem 60 46 McNary 47 32 Crescent Valley 69 69 West Albany 71 62 Sprague 76 Season Record 6 Wins 16 Losses Opposite page clockwise: John Porter puts in another two against West Albany, Jay Grubb drives to the basket on a South Salem Opponent, Bill Wetmore goes to the basket against West Albany.

With a bounce here and a bit of luck there, it could have been even better. Coach McClary attributed marked team improvement through- out the year to his team's success. Two awards were given to sophomore players at their pizza party at the end of the season. Brian Kirschner was voted most valuable by his teammates while Randy Anderson recieved the Mr. Hustle award. This is my third year of coaching and this is the most coachable and enjoyable group of kids I have had in my three years. --Terry McClary Clockwise: Top: Randy Boese drives to the basket against a Willamette opponent.

Kristie Hotchkiss The 1978 Southern Belle team was chosen the end of April last year. They have many new girls this year, with only six returning members. At the beginning of the year, they elected Senior Debbie Roth, Captain'and Junior Jan Moore, Co-Captain. The girls looked through books and magazines to select outfits. Then they voted on what they would look best in, was most appropriate for their use, and mostly, what they liked best. Along with performing at assemblies and games, they competed twice during the year. January 21, West Albany hosted a competi- tion, which the Southern Belles attended and took 2nd place. April 8th was State competi- tion at David Douglas High School. South competed against thirteen other schools. As a final task, each Southern Belle had to make up a routine to determine their grade. 65 The 1977-78 rally squads were chosen in the spring of 1977. The varsity squad was combined of members, Jrs. Sue Mikesell, Eileen Carol, and Cindy Easdale; Srs. Pam Sadowsky, Sherry Westerberg, and Jeannie Robertson. The junior varsity included Sophs. Diana Fry and Dooley Lipsey; Jrs. Angie Westerberg, Jodi Davis, and Michelle Cleaveland. Both squads worked hard promoting Rebel spirit during football and basketball seasons. The girls also attended other fall and winter sport events during the year. During the summer of 1977 varsity rally attended a camp held at O.S.U. They brought back several ribbons which they won in different catagories that they were entered in. Sr. Sherry Westerberg commented, It was a really fun year. I enjoyed it because we all got along with each other. Practices were held at South Albany by both squads during the summer months. Each squad made up different routines, chants, and moves to cheers. Advisor Mrs. Johnston stated, I was very proud of the girls this year. I feel they did an outstanding job promoting spirit at South Albany. “Squads Promote Rebel S” 66 OUR SPIRIT IS SKY HIGH OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCKWISE: Jr. Sue Mikesell expresses her excite- ment after a winning game.

The score was 19 for the seniors, 10 for the sophomores, and 3 for the juniors. The seniors won hall competition for the third year in a row. The theme was Red Hot and Rollin''. The only competition they have gotten in three years came from the sophomores of this year. They made a good showing by scoring 10 spirit points. They were a close second in hall competition with the theme of Rebel Invasion . The week included class competition on a daily basis. Daily competitions included stuffed animal day, striped tee-shirt day, and red and grey day. The week ended on a positive note, when the Varsity Basketball team beat Lebanon in a close game on the Rebel home court. 68 THIS PAGE CLOCKWISE: The Class of 78 won spirit points with sports posters such as this one of basketball.

All but two players were out for at least one game. Wendy Baaske, one of Varsity's key guards, was out for many games with mono. Two more injuries that took place were those of Rhonda Siemens, center-forward and Peggy Guyer, forward. Each were out for two games after colliding in prac - tice. Toward the end of the season Stef Haslam, point guard, was out for the last few games with a hyperex- tended elbow. It is a difficult year to look back on,” state Coach Roland Carpenter, It was a season that started with great hope and an- ticipation and then it died not with a bang but with a whimper. Inspite of the Varsity's lacking offense, their tight zone defense slowed down and stopped many of their opponents. The varsity team held their annual awards banquet on February 27, 1978, at the Old Professor in Corvallis. Wendy Baaske was awarded most valuable player; Peggy Guyer, most inspirational; and Jan Moore, most improved. Senior Peggy Guyer summed up the season, I wish I had one more year, because in the two years I've played things were just starting to click, so I’d like one more year to get it all together. The girls should be compli- mented. It would have been easy for them to give up but despite the adversity they continued to fight. I will miss those girls who are graduating. They have made real contributions to the SA girls sports program. I look forward to the years ahead. This group will go on to other things but will never be forgotten. --Coach Roland Carpenter 70-VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL GIRL’S VARSITY BASKETBALL SA OPPONEN 25 Canby 40 39 Thurston 26 45 Central Linn 29 34 Sweet Home 36 OT 40 McNary 54 40 Lebanon 37 31 Sprague 41 41 West Albany 20 23 Corvallis 34 39 North Salem 45 32 South Salem 45 26 Crescent Valley 65 27 Lebanon 34 30 Sprague 25 28 West Albany 23 12 Corvallis 27 33 North Salem 49 21 South Salem 25 26 Crescent Valley 73 35 McNary SEASON RECORD 6 wins--14 losses 49 Year Of The Injury OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCKWISE: Senior Peggy Guyer drives around West opponent.

V 72-JV GIRLS BASKETBALL As coach, I cannot express enough thanks to the people who supported the Rebel wrestlers this year. --Lamont Simons | Wrestlers Take District The Rebel wrestlers had their most out- standing season over-all in the history of South Albany. They ended their season with a 24-3 win loss record. The team achieved their main goal of be- coming District 8 Champions. As coach, I was very pleased with the total team effort put forth by each of the wrestlers. It was this dedication that bought the city of Albany a district title. state Coach Lamont Simons. Jr. Chris Mitchell, Sr. Tim Ysen, Sr. Jeff Rogers, and Sr. Jeff Cowley placed first or second at district which earned them a berth at the state tournament. Special honors, voted by the coaches, were awarded at an awards banquet held at the end of the season. The Most Improved wrestler went to Soph. Marty Scheafer; Most Valuable, Sr. Jeff Rodgers, and The Hustle Award, which is based on the wrestlers' G.P.A. and contribution to the team, was awarded to Jr. Bob McCausland. The Rebels will be a young, but respected team next year.

They were a very young team, with David Lyon as the only returning letterman. David earned many points throughout the season with his fine diving style. Seven school records were broken this year and many were challenged. This was Mr. Odell's first year as South Albany's swimming coach and he has already produced a number of up and coming swimmers.

When I Am Without You 81 But In My Mind, Deep In My Mind Remembering - But deep in our minds those special thoughts still linger and give us warmth when needed. Those times were the best times of our lives, remembering when teachers went beyond their teaching ability just to help us pass or get recognition. They helped us understand the tough times of life. They did their best to help us grow in the way we wanted to, giving us guidance when necessary. They also deserve recognition.

The year was a learning ex- perience for both staff and first year advisor, Mrs. Hamlin. Teamwork — Key To Sentry Success Sentry began the year with a small, Inexperienced staff, but we progressed well under the able leadership of Editor Doug Men- denhall. The cooperation and enthusiastic attitude of this group has been outstanding. -- Jan Bateman Sentry staff had a productive year issueing newspapers every two weeks along with two special editions. Several staff members were successful in writing competitions. Major winners included: Doug Mendenhall, selected first in news- writing by Oregon Press Womens Associa- tion, Kim Bender, National Quill and Scroll Gold Key in feature writing and Greg Stroughton, first in sportswriting at Linn-Benton Skills Contest.

That is one catchy phrase that truly describes General Council. It was a busy, fulfilling year with the council engaging in many projects ranging from a clean-up week and landscaping, to sponsoring a day of the arts. The council was streamlined by abolishing evaluation and campus committee and establishing a spirit committee. I feel that Student Government has grown immensely this year. I feel very proud to be associated with this enthusiastic, hardworking group of people. To sum it up, we came, we worked, we grew. -Connie Hall, President THIS PAGE CLOCKWISE: Connie Hall, Melinda Mikesell, Peggy Guyer, Doug Mendenhall, Kathy Weygandt, Kathy Moore. { 100 Rain Does Not Dampen Spirits At Spring Fling Despite the weather on May 4th, Spring Fling was a great success.

We didn't win many matches but the kids improved greatly every match, stated Coach Costello. All of the players will be returning next year in anticipation of a good season. This year the emphasis was on individual improvement because we had no experience but with everyone back next year the emphasis will be on team play, predicted Coach Costello.

They went into district competition seeded fourth. Wendy and Tammy played well together up to the quarter finals when a bad break eliminated them from the competition. The girl’s tennis team can be looking toward the future at Freshman Judy Fredericksen. Judy played number one singles for the team and demonstrated excellent abilities as a young tennis player.

We did not win as many games as we would have liked but we had great player development throughout the year, stated Coach Leininger. Five Rebels earned All-League honors. Bryon Henderson was named to the first team at catcher, Tim Rediger was named to the second team outfield and Rusty Duffy, Curt Cremer and Chris Small received honorable mention honors. At the awards banquet, Mike Weisner and Tony Burris received Most Improved Player awards and Bryon Henderson was named Most Valuable Player by his teammates.

Staging a play is always a very complicated thing, but these kids made it not only easv. but fun. said Director Clyde Curley. Deadwood Dick was a spirited melodrama put on by South Albany Drama Club. The play revolves around Black'n Red (Dan Paige) kidnapping Lily Blossom (Sue Walker) to find a map of the Blossom gold mine. Meanwhile . . . Ned Harris-alias Deadwood Dick (Jeff Heinkel) kidnaps Rose Blossom (Molly Sprague) for he has fallen in love with her. At the end, the audinece finds that the map had been branded on Lily Blossom's back in her early childhood. Lily and Rose are returned safely home where Lily is reunited with her long lost mother, Molly Loveless (Connie Thomas). Sue Walker sums up her experience by saying, Even though it was a lot of hard work, I enjoyed working with the people in the cast. I made a lot of good friends. 110 CAST “Deadwood Dick” Or “A Game Of Gold” OPPOSITE PAGE CLOCKWISE: Jeff Hcinkel plays gunman in this melodrama.

At the same meet Troy Trask placed 2nd in the shot put, and Ried Graves improved his personal record in the 400 meter dash, clocking in at 56.0. Tony Lemerande qualified for the state meet in the high and the intermediate hurdles at district with a 1st and 2nd respectively. At state he finished 4th in the high hurdles.

Although the class was combined of individuals doing their own thing, the class pulled together for class projects and activities, stated Sandy Larson. The class of 78 became the second class to win the spirit trophy three years in a row. This was one of the goals they set to achieve, as a class. When graduation came the class became as close as they'd ever been. They showed the togetherness they shared with one another by celebrating and reflecting on memories through- out their high school years.

But the senior class of 1978 pulled through and commenced their high school ex- perience on June 6th in the South High Gymnasium. Valedictorian Peggy Guyer spoke on the frustrations of coping with competencies, (those tests that check whether or not a student can make a phone call and the like). She pointed out that even if you did manage to pass a competency there was always the question of whether it would be accepted by the computer. As a new addition to graduation, the class of 1978 presented a slide show capturing the memories for such a long time.

Rightfully so, it turns out. This has been the biggest growth year in the 43-year history of Cascade Federal, thanks in large part to the confi- dence shown in us by savers at our new Albany office. At 1977's end we were over $160 mill ion strong------ strengthening more than ever our commitment to helping the communities we serve to grow. Whatever your savings or lending needs, come in and talk to manager Arlen McDonald, or to one of his freindly crew. You'll find them in the beautiful new building we're proud to show off here. (Ask us about the use of our community room!) You'll find us at the corner of Springhill and Hickory, a friend in the neighborhood. A FRIEND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
