We lost friends and gained new ones. We soared to victories and held our heads high through defeat. We watched disco die, went western and punked out. We held our breath through an at¬ tempted assasination of the Presi¬ dent; together finally, we cheered the return of the 52 American hostages from Iran. We rocked and rolled, partied and had a good time. We studied and went to school; our knowledge broadened. Some were good times, some bad. Some of us layed back and took it all in; some of us made it happen. Still, we all grew, learned and experienced. It was a very good year. This book is an attempt to capture the spirit of that year. We hope you enjoy it. 4 The Year Finishing an assignment earl y leaves Christi Davis time to look around.

The Year 5 Poll reveals students’ preferences, opinions Times change and so do our likes and dislikes. To determine our preferences we ran a survey in which more than 90 per cent of the students participated.

Colts leave lasting impression Fewer injuries and more lucky breaks could have made the difference between finishing in sixth place (out of 10) and achieving the team’s goal of a spot in the district playoffs. With an average line weight of 160 pounds, the Colts were considered small by AAA standards. Marshfield, for ex¬ ample, started linemen tipping the scales at 185-190 pounds. “It was a difference you always noticed,” recalled one line¬ man. But to watch the Colts in action was to believe they evenly matched their oppo¬ nents. “We could have won every game we played,” Coach Luckey said. “No one ever pushed us around.” For the coaches and the hundreds of Thurston fans that became particularly evident during the mid-season contest against the Sheldon Irish, reigning 5 AAA champions. Down 1 5-7 late in the 4th quarter, after an earlier field goal attempt had failed, quarterback Todd Alberts executed a “tremendous drive” from his 30-yard line deep into Irish ter¬ ritory. Precision completions to Steve Landrum, Marty Grant and Mike Le- Veque drove the Colts to the Irish 21- yard line. Alberts converted a crucial fourth-and-nine situation, and in the next series, Thurston took the ball across the Sheldon goal from 8 yards out. With 21 seconds to go, Albert went for a two- point conversion pass to tie the game, but the Irish defense intercepted. “His pass was right where it should have been, but so was Sheldons defensive back David Hinkle,” Coach Luckey said. However, the best remembered game was the one sugar-coated with victory. For the ninth straight year, the Colt’s beat the Springfield Millers in a contest that looked more like a mud bath than a football game. In the end the Colts stopped a strong Miller drive and ran the clock out to win 14-12. Quarterback Todd Alberts checks the side¬ lines before calling the final signals of the season in the Colt’s victory over the Millers. Linebacker Vergil Backes (right) blitzes through the line to sack Churchill’s quar¬ terback.

JV team provides surprises Not every losing season is disappoin¬ ting — especially for the team that loses fewer games than expected. For the JV Colts, such was the case. In a pre-season poll of district coaches, the JVs were picked to finish last in the league. The team didn’t follow that predic¬ tion, though. In addition to finishing in the middle of the league 4-5, the Colts treated their fans and the Springfield Millers to a surprise finale. Going into the game, the Millers (No. 1 in the pre-season district poll) were hands-down favorites. This slim chance of victory, together with typical Novem¬ ber rain, might have led some to ask: Why bother? That question wasn’t on the players’ minds, however, as they thundered through mud and Millers to emerge with a 21-6 victory. Coach Jim Montgomery recalled that the win came from a strong running game and a hard-hitting defense. Run¬ ning backs Ed Johnson and Ed Morris gained a combined total of 271 yards in the game. Defensive standouts were line¬ backers Steve Schelsky and Todd Wag¬ ner. Rick Tabor and Todd Wagner go for a North Bend punt.

Cheryl Christiensen rises on her toes, ready to respond to La Grande’s serve in the state playoffs. very independent — receiving direction and discipline internally from the play¬ ers instead of the coach. Team captain Jennifer Gillis “did a great job of keep¬ ing the team going and improving,” Coach Weiseth said. Two-and-one-half hour practices every weekday (including game days) regularly tested the team’s dedication. “They (the practices) were great and were the single most important aspect of this team. We tried to practice intensely and efficiently every day,” he said. Having an abundance of eager and talented players left the coach with the difficult decision of making sure the best six (of nine) players were on the floor at once. 20 Varsity Volleyball Varsity Volleyball 25-4 Thurston Opponent 2 Cottage Grove 0 2 Churchill 0 2 North Salem Tournament South Eugene 0 2 North Eugene 0 2 Marshfield Tournament Marshfield 1 2 Willamette 0 2 Springfield 0 2 Sheldon 0 2 North Bend 0 2 Cottage Grove 1 2 Churchill 0 2 South Eugene 1 2 North Eugene 0 1 Marshfield 2 2 Willamette 0 2 Springfield 0 2 Sheldon 0 1 North Bend 2 1 North Salem 1 2 Dallas 0 2 Sunset 0 2 Estacata 0 1 McNary 1 1 (final) Estacata 2 2 St. Mary’s 0 2 Tillamock 0 2 North Bend 1 1 Marshfield 2 2(Final) Marshfield 0 2 District Playoff Marshfield 0 2 State: first round Medford 0 2 Finals: first round La Grande 0 0 Finals: second round Lake Oswego 2 0 Final round Barlow 2 (4th place finish) All State, District teams Second team, All State Jennifer Gillis, team captain First team, All District Jennifer Gillis Rhonda Orr Cheryl Christensen Second team, All District Kathy Metzler Chamine David stretches out to reach a high lob which Robin Bigelow picks up in the back court.

We were one . . . and what a great team!” Noted for outstanding work during the season were freshmen varsity play¬ ers: Diane Wright, most valuable; Kathy Healey, most inspirational; and Anna Lange, most improved.

Freshmen Volleyball 23 Colts: 5AAA No. 2; 5 firsts In a test every bit as psychological as physical for the leaders, Colt harrier Cory Randall set a fast but even pace at the state meet and sped by the leaders of the 1 58-runner pack to finish with a time of 15:45.5. Left in Randall’s dust with one mile to go, were nationally ranked runners Dan Mazo of South Eugene and Jim Fox from Jesuit in Portland. These stars set such a blistering pace against one another at the onset that they burned out before the end, allowing Cory to kick past them with ease. Making their fourth appearance in a row at state, the Colts finished 18th out of 23 teams. Coach DeWayne Cantrall attributed their low finish partly to injuries suf¬ fered at the district meet, which left Jim Jones and Andy Peterson weak at state. At the district meet at Lane Commu¬ nity College, the Colts came in second after South Eugene. Coach Cantrall not¬ ed Randall, Zack Wilson, Tim Walms- ley, Dale Northcutt, Ted Thomas and Gary Inselman for their strong perfor¬ mances. At district, Cory tried unsuccessfully to match Mazo’s pace and came in third place. For Cory it proved to be a valuable learning experience — one that helped him to win the State Individual Cham¬ pionship and sent him to the national race in San Francisco, where he placed third out of 6,000 of the nation’s best runners. Cory Randall temporarily matches the pace of Axeman Dan Mazo but fails to beat him in the district meet. Senior Zack Wilson shows the intense con¬ centration that brings him through the fast paced district meet. 24 Boys Cross Country The district meet looks more like a dual as Colts and Axemen jockey for the lead.

She was followed by Della Smith, Jeni Baden, Ann Peter¬ son and Lori Hooker. Enthusiasm and Leadership, “a key to the team’s im¬ provement,” were provided by senior captains Della Smith and DelRae Kleppe. “The future of the Girls Cross Coun¬ try team is very exciting because the girls are winners and will bring much success and recognition to Thurstion High School,” said Coach Guy Zak¬ revski.

In competition, the Fillies corralled third place (of eight) at the district meet and placed first in three contests. Co- capitan Kendra DeVos went to state in Portland.

For a sport that is inherently individ¬ ual, the Fillies were exceptionally team oriented.

The squads dedicated a lot of time and pride to their moves. They had a class each day to try new moves and perfect their old ones; they also practiced three-and-one-half hours per week. The rally went to a rally camp in Ash¬ land during the summer and won several awards for their display of spirit. The rallies were also responsible for arrang¬ ing all pep assembles.

A slow number gets the dancers on the floor. Students get acquainted The Hello Dance was held Sept. 5, the first Friday of school, in the cafeteria. It was put on by the student council. A band by the name of “Attack and the Fun” played for the dancers. According to the student council 374 students attended the dance and a profit of $327 was made. The money was later used for an all-school movie slide show “Hard Times.” 32 Annual signing party draws large crowd Most of the school attended the annu¬ al signing party which was held during the third week of September. Around 1,000 annuals had been sold and about 50 more were sold at the party. The cafe¬ teria was full of people. Even the floor was being used as a place to sit. Kevin Waggoner and Todd Norenberg flash the cover of the annual before the camera. “It’s nice,” they said. The cafeteria was crowded with students during the annual signing party. It was a happy, memory-jolting time spent with friends. Dawn Haas, junior, concentrates on some¬ thing to write. 33 34 Homecoming Week with fi How many activities can be crammed into one week? From the looks of the signs and the people at Thurston, one might get the idea the world had gone mad with activities. The weekly schedule read like a pro¬ gram for a fun house tour. Monday wit¬ nessed an unlikely combination of toga and western wear. The togo people wer¬ en’t saying what they did, but the West¬ erners rounded up a coil of rope for a good, old-fashioned tug of war. The sen¬ iors put their hearts, hands and a few other physical attributes to work and pulled of their victory with ease. Tuesday’s guide called for people to pair up and look alike. Because Tuesday and twin fall near the end of the alpha¬ bet, the activity is found in the same lo¬ cation: Volkswagon (as in stuffing.) Here size was a drawback and the fresh¬ men took the honors by putting more people into the Volkswagon. Donny and Marie couldn’t make it on Wednesday, but Thurston decided to “go Hawaiian” anyway. Bananas were the big ingredient on Wednesday’s menu and the sophomores stuffed more of the bread fruit during the lunches in the cafeteria than any other class. The sophomores again took the victo¬ ry column on Thursday by building the largest pyramid on Punk Rock Day (the connection is obvious, right?) Friday, for those with any left, was Spirit Day. As seen in the gym during the pep assembly, having a week of ac¬ tivities makes students even more active. The sophomores again made their mark by claiming the competition yell, but the real stars were on the Homecoming Court. Chanel Yates personifies her favorite can¬ dy on Twin Day. Homecoming 35 Queen and Escort: Chelle Bigelow and Greg Sapp 36 Homecoming Queen Chelle, Court win Homecoming vote As Homecoming Week began, so did the nominations for the Homecoming Court. Three girls from each grade level were nominated by each homeroom. The three girls with the most votes were se¬ lected as the finalists. The girls then se¬ lected their escorts. During the week they were voted for by the entire student body. The senior girl who received the most votes was selected as the Queen. The senior girl who received the second most votes was selected as the senior princess. The other princesses from each grade level were the ones who received the most votes. The Court was an¬ nounced at Friday’s pep assembly and they were crowned at the Homecoming football game the same evening. Saturday night the court joined more than one-hundred and fifty couples at a dance in the cafeteria. Rather than a sound system, the student council hired the band “Felix” to provide the music. “It was a big success”, stated council members Brenda Evans and Mollie Ren¬ nie.

Are the ju¬ rors so sure of the evidence against him that they can determine whether he should live or die? Questions such as these faced the ju¬ rors in the play Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose which ran November 13, 14 and 15. Mr. Bruce Robbins directed the 13-member student cast which per¬ formed in the cafeteria. In the play, twelve jurors must review a controversial murder case and deter¬ mine the guilt or innocence of the defen¬ dant. Initially, the evidence appears to point to a guilty verdict, but one juror holds out, preventing a murder convic¬ tion. As the group struggles to convince the holdout, tempers flare behind the locked door of the hot, stuffy room. Fol¬ lowing a number of reenactments of the evidence, jurors gradually change their minds and, in the end, reach a unani¬ mous verdict of not guilty. Tina Christensen argues that the accused, like many other people of his poor, ethnic background is “no good” and should be convicted.

Fall Play 39 The problems of a president: Reagan is sur¬ rounded by reporters in New York City after the election. While the presidential campaign en¬ tered its final days, Thurston students picked Jimmy Carter over Ronald Rea¬ gan by four votes in their own mock elec¬ tion. However, this did not reflect the views of the nation, state or county as Regan was elected the 40th President of the United States. The most amazing fact was not that he won, but the size of his win. In a race that political analysts had predicted would be close, Reagan carried all but six states and defeated then-President Jimmy Carter by 8.3 million popular votes and by a huge 489-49 electoral vote margin. The South, typically a Democratic stronghold, voted as a block for Reagan, excepting Georgia, Carter’s home state. The blacks were one of the few factions in America that didn’t go for Reagan. The turn to the right in the country, signalled by the Reagan landslide, caused Republicans and conservative Democrats alike to be elected to office. The Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate and made significant gains in the House. Locally, incumbent Republican Sena¬ tor Bob Packwood retained his seat, and Democratic Fourth District Representa¬ tive Jim Weaver fought off a challenge from GOP candidate Mike Fitzgerald. In state house District 42, incumbent Democrat Nancie Fadeley was upset by Republican challenger, and former Springfield mayor, Vern Meyer. John Lively was elected the new mayor. Iran hostage crisis persists The first anniversary of the taking of American hostages in Iran passed on the day that Americans were to elect a new president. Few believed the crisis would last 365 days. Furthermore, it seemed that noth¬ ing had been resolved since the fateful day in November of 1979. Isolated from the outside world, the 52 U.S. hostages had missed the news reports on the Soviet invasion of Afgha- sistan, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, and the deaths of eight Americans at¬ tempting to free them. Many spectacu¬ lar events continued to occur that the captives knew little or nothing about. And on November 4, 1980, the hos¬ tages were absent when Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States. Jimmy Carter’s bid for re-elec¬ tion had failed, but he still had two and half months of his term left ro rid him¬ self of the problem which plagued him throughout the ‘80 campaign.

Colt Varsity: A super season “It was a very good season, very satis¬ fying toward the end,” said Coach Jerry Haugen. His comment may be an under¬ statement, as the Thurston boys varsity basketball team dribbled and shot its way into the state playoffs for the first time since 1975. One might have counted the Colts out early, as Thurston dropped its first four pre-season games. But they came back to win their first three league games, in¬ cluding a 70-47 thrashing of Cottage Grove. Thurston ended a three-game losing streak later in the season by defeating the South Eugene Axemen 60-57 in overtime. Still later, after downing North Bend, the Colts were 9-6 and looking toward the playoffs. But three other potential playoff teams stood in front of them. When the Marshfield Pirates rolled into town, The Colts were ready for them. Thurston shocked the eventual league champion and third-place finish¬ er at the state playoffs 43-40. The Colts dropped their next game with Sheldon, but came back to whip cross-town rival Springfield and make the district play¬ offs. In their first match, South Eugene crushed the Colts by 21 points. In their next game, however, Thurston held off Sheldon 47-43 to earn a spot in the state regional quarter finals. Their season came abruptly to an end in Klamath Falls. After leading most of the game, the Colts finally fell to Ma- zama, 57-47. Harold Michaud received All-district honors and was named most valuable player for the Colts. Stuart Mathew and Ernie Smith were named most inspira¬ tional and most improved, respectively. Ernie Smith agressively goes for the basket as he is fouled by a North Eugene player.

Varsity Boys Basketball 47 Varsity girls contend with host of opponent Getting a fast start is perhaps as im¬ portant in basketball as it is in horse rac¬ ing. And, unfortunately, Thurst on’s girls started too slow. First, there was the state volleyball playoffs which tied up several of the starters just as the team was forming. Then, as they were finally getting to¬ gether, a plague of illnesses and injuries wiped out another group of players. One player lost 16 games after a back injury during play and a combination of sprained ankles, bad knees and the flu sent Coach Tom Wareham to the junior varsity roster for new recruits. As if to discount any notion that they might be goldbrickers, the players (now missing only two starters) came on strong at the end of the season to beat the top two teams in the district. Their coach never doubted their ability, though. He said the team, when together, had a great balance of heighth, shooting and ball handling. The coaches (Wareham and assistant Ginny Revell) selected Lisa Boehm, most valuable player; Cheryl Christen¬ sen, most improved; and Vera Kast, most inspirational. All-district honors went to Jackie Co¬ burn, second team and Sherrie Riley, honorable mention.

The Colt’s opponents averaged 46.2 points per game. Coach Bill Smith said his team’s strengths were defense, field goal shooting, rebounding, and fast break offense. The weaknesses were foul-shooting and turnovers. Coach Smith indentified the out¬ standing shooters as Dennis Mingo, Bill Jones, Scott Haugen, Brent Jasmer, Ke¬ vin Lightheart and Mark Brabham. Outstanding defensive players were Scott Akins and Jeff Price. Overall lead¬ ership and good ball handling came from Scott Shilling. Most improved were Troy Mathews and Mike Walmsley. Todd Wagner was noted as a good hustler.

Ken Elliot catches an earful of ground rules from the ref before his match. Wrestlers pin hopes on future Finishing sixth in the district left head wrestling coach Dennis Batsch with a lot to look forward to. The season was his worst in three years as head coach here. With as many freshman (four) as ju¬ niors and seniors on the varsity squad, they were too young by all counts. Injur¬ ies also hurt two of the strongest wres¬ tlers. Scott Batsch tore his shoulder dur¬ ing the season and Brad Christiensen wrestled at district with a 104° tempera¬ ture, losing to a wrestler 5-3 he had pre¬ viously clobbered 19-0. At the beginning of the season, com¬ bined varsity and junior varsity teams numbered 52. Thirty-two finished the season. Still, coach Batsch noted the grapplers attitude and effort to improve as “excellent”. “Our biggest problem was the inexperienced wrestlers. But they listened, worked hard and im¬ proved,” he said. The Colt’s team captain was district champion Cameron Foroud. Other hon¬ ors went to Kurt Krasneski, most im¬ proved; Ken Elliot, most inspirational; Brad Christiensen, most dedicated; and Scott Batsch, outstanding wrestler. Human scissors like these made by Mark Babcock’s legs cut down this wrestler un¬ fortunate enough to come within Mark’s reach.

Winter Rallies 65 Christmas alive with talent Christmas— the jolly, generous sea¬ son said to bring out the best in people- — brought out a full complement of Thurston talent to celebrate the holi¬ days. A choral concert on December 10 and an instrumental program December 17 drew more than 400 music(ian) lovers to the under-construction cafeteria. On the first of the 14-day vacation, the 60-member marching band made its annual entry in the Springfield Christ¬ mas parade. The route began at the Springfield Mall and stretched nearly five miles to the end of Main Street. The band was followed by the flag girls and Ponietails. Other school entries came from the student council, flag Ski Club and FBLA. Although no white fluff fell from the sky to add to the atmosphere, the weath¬ er was appropriately cold, wet and windy for an Oregon winter.

The news: America comes home again A new president and the end of a nightmare. A bad dream lasting 444 days for the nation, and especially for America’s 52 hostages, came to an end amid a spectac¬ ular display of emotion that swept the country back into a proud posture. On the same day, January 20, Ronald Reagan was innaugarated as the 40th President of the United States-ending the single term of Jimmy Carter who was plagued, and eventually defeated, by his inability to free the hostages held in Iran. But even the former president must have felt elated as he greeted the group at Wiesbaden, West Germany on their second day of freedom. Back home, the country was getting decked out for a massive reception. Even Thurston tied on miles of ribbon in the popular yellow — both through the build¬ ing and on most of the students. It was as if President Reagan had tak¬ en over a new country. But the joy was short-lived when a gunman shot the president and three others in an assassi¬ nation attempt on March 30. Fortunate¬ ly, Reagan recovered from his chest wound and returned to the White House after 12 days in the hospital. The nation’s mood went back on the upswing less than a month later, howev¬ er, with the successful launching and landing of the space shuttle Columbia. According to Newsweek, America’s faith in technology was reconfirmed as the untested engineering phenomenon hurled astronauts John Young and Rob¬ ert Crippen 36 orbits around the earth in 54 hours. As the shuttle re-entered earth’s atmosphere (reaching tempera¬ tures of 2700 degrees) on April 14, and Young brought the massive craft und er control, the nation was ready, as flight director Don Puddy put it, to: “Prepare for exhilaration!” News of the attempted assassination draws a crowd of somber students to the library to watch the coverage on tv.

Girls Track 79 Varsity sets new record Despite some inconsistent play, the var¬ sity baseball team just missed the dis¬ trict playoffs with a league record of 8- 10. The team set a new school record in hitting .298, which broke the old record by nine percentate points. Coach Lange said that if the team could have won a few more of their close ball games they could have easily made the league playoffs. Three Colt players made the district all star squad. Tracy Olsen was the only first team pick at second base while Greg Sapp was an honorable mention in the outfield and Mike Leveque was an hon¬ orable mention at catcher. Bill Jones winds up to burn one over the plate. Jim Cheshire leaps over first to bring down a high and late throw.

Baseball 83 Varsity softball: little victories, big defeats The varsity softball team’s losing re¬ cord did not tell the whole story. Coach Harley Dixon said the 13 girls played well against the best teams in the state, often losing very close games. There were some big victories, too, such as a 15-2 slaughter of the Sheldon Irish. In that mid-season game, Kathy Metzler tallied three RBI’s and pitcher Shari Southworth allowed only the two scoring hits. Noted for team recognition were: most valuable players, Jackie Coburn and Kathy Metzler; most improved, Nicki Hopkins; and most inspirational, Annette Cutsforth. Five girls also re¬ ceived all-league honors. Pam Buss was named to the second team and Jackie Coburn, Kathy Metzler, Nicki Hopkins and Guen Reynolds received honorable mentions.

The seven golfers moved from No. 7 in their first all district tournament to No. 3, where it really counted, at Toka- tee in the District 5AAA finals. Trailing the leaders by 13 strokes after the first day at district, the golfers were in 3rd place, (the top two teams at district go to state). On the second day they gained 8 shots but missed going to state as a team by 5. Scott Shilling tied for the No. 4 indi¬ vidual spot in district, so he went to state as an individual. Scott, only a sopho¬ more, finished in the top 30 in a field of over 120 of the state’s best in Portland. Coach Ron Creps named Scott Shil¬ ling and Rick Sprouse as the outstanding golfers. Kelly Canaday shows good form by keeping his head down. Kelly Canaday (top) chips the ball onto the green. Scott Shilling (right) sinks a long put from the apron.

Kim held the No. 1 singles position and Yolonda claimed the No. 1 doubles position with senior Debbie Krey as her partner. Also in her third year was Theresa Fonnesbeck playing singles. Two strong returning juniors, Loni Walker and Chris Peterson also showed great potential, said Coach Bobbie Haas. Chris was doubles partner with sophomore Robin Bigelow in the No. 2 position. Another strong sophomore was Julie Marquardt and Coach Haas said freshman Ai Nguyen was a real “go- getter” and a talented player. Robin Bigelow concentrates on a smash.

Although winning only two matches all year, the players had many close ones going down to the wire. The Colts were lead by No. 1 singles players Mike Larson, and No. 2 players Scott Paulson, freshman. Both were the only players to score team points in dis¬ trict. Mike and Scott also teamed up to be the No. 1 doubles team. The No. 3 singles player was senior John Law¬ rence. Senior Ruben Ortega and junior Damon White teamed up to be the No. 2 doubles. The team voted Mike Larson the most valuable player; Nathan McClellan re¬ ceived the most improved player award. Barry Bacon takes his turn on the court.

Twelve songs were performed in the 2- hour-long production. These renditions were accompanied by a five-chair en¬ semble. The most popular selections were “Happiness” and “You’re A Good Man, Charle Brown,” which were both performed by the entire cast. Preparation for the play began early in the year after the auditions. Each per¬ former practiced many hours, at sepa¬ rate rehearsals, depending on the char¬ acter. Reactions to the play were quite posi¬ tive. Typical comments were: “The sing¬ ing was great” and “The skits were hi¬ larious.” i IPs ■1 W 1 . Is. '■ m Wmk m Iggigc UK i i . ‘ ■■■ il Snoopy (Kathy Hill) sings about supper¬ time.

Angela Averill and Denny McCurdy dance to one of the many selections played at the prom. Prom sets ‘sail’ off campus The idea of another prom in the cafe¬ teria was too much to bear for the junior class without a struggle. President and vice president Todd Alberts and Todd Jones sampled opinions of juniors and their parents to support their proposal to move the prom off campus for the first time in four years. The answer was a resounding YES! Vally River Inn was the chosen site, with Christopher Cross’ Sailing as the theme. One hundred and fifty couples attended the event featuring recorded music and refreshments of punch and cookies.

Fine Arts Fair displays student work The Industrial and Fine Arts Fair joined forces with the Health Fair to provide a varied and entertaining even¬ ing for the community on May 7. Weeks were spent by the shop and art classes preparing for the fair, during which students displayed their work they had completed during the year and dem¬ onstrated skills they had acquired. Plants, baked goods, wood projects, met¬ alwork and art work were sold to the public, while the medical careers stu¬ dents checked blood pressures and the home ec representatives lectured on proper eating habits and child develop¬ ment. The swing choir and jazz ensem¬ ble provided entertainment for the event. Refreshments were served toward the end of the evening as various items were raffled off to the more than 600 people attending. Cheryl Bieghler and Tami Burns sell cook¬ books during the fair to raise money for the gourmet foods class. 96 Arts Fair Brent Carter shows an architectural model of a town to a parent.

The process was not without its critics, though. According to a front page story in the Pony Express, “signs, costumes, squirt guns, confetti, paper wads and water balloons bombarded the stage set for the ASB convention.” The officers of president and vice- president were decided before the elec¬ tions began, as Todd Alberts and Todd Jones were the only students to run for the offices. However, 12 ambitious stu¬ dents ran for the remaining four offices: Ruth Rowland won the position of his¬ torical director; Christi Davis, activities director; Andy Petersen, financial direc¬ tor; Shawn Buystedt, communications director. Casting their votes (top) during the ASB election are Eric Carpenter, Shannon Wise, Mark Edwards, Malinda Rath, Vera Kast, Chris Westfall, Cherylyn Petersen, Bob DenOuden.

The dances were Hello, Homecoming, the Print and Cord and the prom. Home¬ coming and the prom were held by the Senior and Junior classes. Other sponsored activities included the Christmas parade, in which the Ski Club, FBLA and ASB displayed floats, a canned food drive for charity and a bumper sticker contest.

Welding teacher Mr. Connolly, emphasized the development of the employable personality and good attendance as the main part of his classes. Mr. Lange’s goals for the year was to teach occupational skills, disci¬ pline and a good working attitude. Both felt that the year went well for all their classes and expect more of the same next year as many of the same faces return. Last spring in the state VICA compe¬ tition, junior Troy Schroeder placed first in the gas welding phase and Dan Kin- tigh finished second in sheet metal work¬ ing. Mr. Lange said that Neil Sterns and Rick Plouse placed high in the cabinet making portion of the competition. Industrial Arts 1 15 California dreaming (on a rainy Oregon day) is captured on stained glass by Craig Vorce. Fine Arts offers variety Personal development through cre¬ ative, artistic expression was the horizon toward which the fine arts classes sailed. In the fifteen classes, students received instruction in a particular area and worked on their individual projects. Offered were courses in leather, stained glass, jewelry, cereamics, com¬ mercial art, drawing, painting and art survey taught by Gary Guttormsen, Marcia Graham and Dave Elgin. In addition to their own projects, stu¬ dents in the classes kept the various con¬ struction sites around the school more attractive with a variety of murals. A commercial art student adds a natual touch to his cereal box design. Artists Sheila Lillegren and Dawn Haas display their work. 1 1 6 Fine Arts Lisa Boehm looks up from her stained glass project. Eric Johnson, Brian Jawad and Mitch An¬ derson learn to paint scenery in a beginning drawing class. Jim Borns intently glazes his clay pot. U.S. Fourth District Congressman Jim Weaver holds up Shawn Maurer’s award¬ winning poster in his Washington, D.C. of¬ fice. Shawn won third place in a nation¬ wide contest held to promote American shipping. Fine Arts 1 17 Music — it flows and goes Practices, concerts, festivals, games, parades, plays and travel kept more than one hundred Thurston musicians on the go. A spring trip to Marriott’s Great America highlighted the marching band’s activities. While there, the band played for tourists at the popular attrac¬ tion. The jazz band spent time on the road too, traveling to the Monmouth Jazz Festival and to Pleasant Hill where the group placed second in competition. At the Spring Concert, several band members received awards for improve¬ ment; seniors were honored; and Debbie Curtis received the John Philip Sousa Award for her many hours of work. The choral groups attended three fes¬ tivals: Salem Vocal Jazz, Pleasant Jazz (placing fourth) and the Metro. The hum of Clea May’s cello adds richness to the string section of the orchestra. Flutists Andrea Westover, Stacy Davis and Nicola Hopkins add their instruments high-pitched trills to the performance of the brass and woodwinds ensemble in concert. 1 18 Fine Arts Three of the barbershop quartet — Jeff Moore, Brent Jasmer and Tom Horton- harmonize and revise tunes from the Gold¬ en Age of music. Mollie Rennie leads the swing choir through a jazz number at the Spring Con¬ cert. Fine Arts 1 19 The way the pros run a newspaper is ob¬ served at the Springfield News by Todd Wagner, Ruth Rowland, Shawn Buystedt and Ruthanne Thompson. The newspaper class produced the Pony Express following a semester of dormancy. The paper came out with its first issue in February. Students and teachers remarked that the newspaper was a vast improvement over past issues. Foreign exchange students from Lane County schools visit Mr. Kinkel's Spanish class where they agreed that “Life in America is wild,” compared to their coun¬ tries. 120 Language Arts One-to one instruction in writing comes from Mr. Milton Cunningham in his class where he assists Sherri Casto and Larry Sargent. Languages-something for all In Language Arts there was, as the saying goes, something for everyon- e — not in the mini courses of the past decade, but instruction in reading and writing for students on different levels of ability and desire. In addition to English at A, B and C levels, classes were offered for teenagers who had advanced to high school without learning to read or write effectively (or at the appropriate grade level). For the administration and English teachers, the concern had shifted from ‘Why can’t Johnny read?’ to ‘How can we teach him?’ For the students who were classified as “learner disabled,” separate classes were offered and taught by teachers whose training was in special education. At the other end of the scale, the high- level students were not ignored. A-level classes, plus advanced composition and AP English classes gave rigorous read¬ ing and writing assignments. In the elective field, students could choose among offerings in sports, litera¬ ture, foreign languages — French, Ger¬ man and Spanish and publications- — newspaper and yearbook. Most English classes like Ms. Virginia Cunningham’s average 30 students. Language Arts 121 Ron Wassom and Bob Bode share a joke in their Social Studies class. Social studies scans change A rapidly changing world offered an abundance of source material for stu¬ dents studying and exploring the social and psychological complexities of mod¬ ern and past life. The radicalism of the sixties and seventies, plus the narcissism of the last decade seemed to have slid into the passage of time. What the coun¬ try was to become was left open to ques¬ tion. Classes in AP History, SUTOE and world history attempted to answer some of the questions. Tiffany Miller watches as Shari South- worth raises her hand to offer an answer in Mr. Purvis’ AP history class. 122 Social Studies Business provides a future When qualified, experienced people are looking for work (the definition of unemployment), the chances for the in¬ experienced are bleak at best. Still, job turnover is regular enough so that open¬ ings do exist for the persistent and the qualified. Business teacher Diana Glenn main¬ tains that students completing the busi¬ ness program are prepared for a job. To¬ ward that end, students complete advanced typing, shorthand and clerical office procedures. In the latter class, seniors review cleri¬ cal skills and then participate in an office simulation known as the Lester Hill Cor¬ poration. In the class, each student is a member of the corporation and performs tasks to keep it operating and out of debt. On an individual level, classes in per¬ sonal finance address income and taxes. Mrs. Ester Lang’s beginning typing class works on an assignment. Ruthanne Thompson argues on behalf of the defendant in a personal finance class. Aaron David practices warmups attentive¬ ly, prior to his assignment. Business 123 No traditions in Home Ec Even in high school there is life. Stu¬ dents with vocational and leisure inter¬ ests in taking care of others found their niche in the classes traditionally associ¬ ated with home economics (cooking, housekeeping, sewing, nursing). But then, these classes were far from traditional. Boys made their presence felt in home economics as definitely as girls were becoming established in shop, auto and weight-lifting classes. Nor were the classes confined to class¬ rooms and text books. The culinary classes taught by Judy Evans took ad¬ vantage of the rare sunny weather to barbeque and have a Hawaiian luau (minus the whole pig). Health occupations, supervised by school nurse Muriel Lange, went beyond the classroom to get first-hand exper¬ ience working alongside the medical, dental and rescue personnel in the city from February to June. In reverse order, Mrs. Sandy Barrett’s Child Development class brought the outside world — in the person of 10 pre¬ schoolers — into the classroom where the high school students operated a day-care center for several weeks. Shelley Knox guides a young boy in the warm weather. 124 Home Economics Keeping children in the temporary instruc¬ tional day-care center entertained requires skill and talent abundantly supplied by ju¬ nior Rick Tabor and sophomore Kim Thomas in the Child Development Class. Cheryl Hendricksen and Sandra Jenkins keep an eye on their patient's vital signs in the post-operative recovery wing at McKenzie Willamette hospital. Brian Rose teaches Tom Hanson cooking techniques. Home Economics 125 Computers generate added interest in math Imagine this exchange between two friends at lunch: One (gulping his food down): “Sorry I can’t talk now, I’ve got to go to the math room.” Two: “Oh, are you behind in there?” One: “No. I just like working math problems on the terminals.” Sound crazy? Maybe, but if one looks in the back of Room 113 during lunch (or before and after school), he will see sure-enough people (students) hooked into one of the computers or OTIS ter¬ minals. According to math teacher Gus Ren- wick, the students are developing and practicing modern mathematical skills and enjoying it. Some students even got to put their basic and advanced math skills to the test against other schools. In April, Lane Community College sponsored a Math Skills Fair at which students earned points by completing problems. Thur¬ ston placed seventh out of 12 schools. Students from here were: Lisa Scott and Mike Scalon (Generla Math); Tina Burroughs and Mark Ellsworth (Alge¬ bra I); Ruth Rowland and Lisa Stern (Geometry); Luke Burroughs and Gary Inselman (Algebra II); Joanne Simmons and Owen Morgan (Advanced Math I and II). Math teacher Dave Starck urges Jeanne Poole to look up from her work. Math 126 Some solutions still require pencil and pa¬ per as Joanne Simmons shows Ed Kosydar. John Rummery Checks the readout on one of the PET mini computers on loan to the school Brian Gillis types in data and the computer displays answers. « Math 127 Sciences question origins (and what follows Science classes did not undergo any earth-shattering changes; nor were there any significant laboratory explosions or poisonings. They did come close to a sub¬ stantial jolt, though. The source of the rumbling concerned questions as basic as the beginning of life. Basic, perhaps, but also highly in¬ flammatory when it came to looking for answers in the classroom. Did God cre¬ ate life as the Bible states, and is there scientific evidence to prove it? Or did higher forms (humans) evolve through a mysterious process involving natural se¬ lection (survival of the fittest) which be¬ gan on earth billions of years ago? Cre¬ ation or evolution? While the teachers had little difficulty teaching objectively, several district pa¬ trons — like many others across the na¬ tion — argued that evolution was being taught as doctrine (the truth) in the classrooms. They wanted God to get equal time, some said. Thurston biology teacher Tom Ware- ham, denied claims that he gave prefer¬ ence to evolutionary theory. “In fact,” he said, “we look at three possibilities.” The third one being that life was trans¬ ported from an extraterresttrial location (outer space). A majority (by 3-2) of the school board members agreed to maintain the status quo and put the issue to rest for the year by voting to deny a request in investigate the issue in more detail. Junior David O’Neil draws a flask of dis¬ tilled water in the chemistry lab. 128 Science c Chemistry students Lisa 'Hamilton and Jannine Miller (right) get a helping refer¬ ence for their experiment from their tea¬ cher. Ms. Brandenburg taught chemistry in place of George Carlson who took a Sab¬ batical leave for the year. Cleanliness after lab work is on the side of teacher appreciation and good grades for Tanya Vinson. Not all science instruction is lab work. Some of it is just reading, listening and tak¬ ing notes. Not necessarily a procedure pro¬ ducing wild enthusiasm as reflected on the faces in this freshman class. Science 129 Body building — P.E. favorite New weight-lifting equipment was purchased by the P.E. department in or¬ der to expand the potential of the classes for students. Several organizations don¬ ated funds for the weights. Some of these clubs were the football teams, WAC, Student council and the weightlifting team, which placed first in the state competition. Other than the basic sports such as football, basketball and baseball, new and unusual sports and activities were taught. These included square dancing, mushball, badminton and archery. Brad Werner smashes the ball into the out¬ field as his teammates look on. A freshman P.E. Class enjoys the variations of folk-dancing. Jim Sanders gets pumped to press some weight. 130 P.E. Health A health-mobile visit helped students find out just how healthy they really were. The service gave information on blood pressure, weight and life expectan¬ cy. Health classes taught life-saving tech¬ niques which concentrated on mouth-to- mouth resuscitation. Also taught were bandaging, poison treatment and how to prevent premature illnesses and death. Ken Pappas works on a patient from Mr. Roger Mink’s first aid class. Carla Akins, Stuart Mathew and Mekki Oker enjoy the spring sunshine during Mr. Dennis Batsch’s mental health class. Health 131 l Special ed encourages self development The primary emphasis of special edu¬ cation was community survival. There were many programs which taught sur¬ vival skills to the students. One such program was a project con¬ cerning the use of money. The students were able to vocationally work at Albert¬ son’s and the school store, selling miscel¬ laneous items. Other programs included working at Thurston Middle School, McKenzie Willamette Hospital and the EMU at the University of Oregon. These projects gave experience in serv¬ ing food in the cafeteria, maintenance work, washing laundry and cleaning erasers. All of these procedures prepared the students to find and maintain an occupa¬ tion after their education has ended. Arthur Davis studies his reading.

Special Education 133 Individuals ... Il takes all kinds, and Thurston has them. People organizing and running the system, maintenance workers, secretaries, cooks, aides, teachers . . . and we, the students, creating jobs for more than 100 adults and a variety of experiences for ourselves. We gave according to our abilities and expecta¬ tions; we received according to our needs and de¬ sires. People — they are a changin’ As the world turns, so too did the staff. Several teachers took sabbatical (study) leaves of absenses or returned from them; some were hired, one retired. And most likely, all kept a sharp lookout for the grim reaper — otherwise known as RIF (reduction in force). Returning after a sabbatical leave was Royce Osborne, vocal music teacher and Fine Arts department head. Janet Bran- denberg took over the chemistry teach¬ ing duties of George Carlson while he was on leave. Ray Chiapuzzio and Lynn Peterson were also on a year’s leave. However, Mr. Peterson retained his coaching duties of the swim team. Sheila Lewellen moved up from the middle school to replace Karen Banks in the P.E. department. Mrs. Lewellen also took over the head Girls track coaching position. Veteran English teacher and publica¬ tions adviser Clara Powell retired in mid year following a protracted illness. She was replaced by Greg Howard who had started the year as the Saturday school supervisor. Other changes were being announced as the year drew to a close. Staff reduc¬ tion and returning staff members dis¬ placed Renee Metcalfe and Chuck Wenger. Bill Goddell and Dave Hufford took leaves of absenses. On the lighter side, Ginny Todd tied a nupital knot with John Revell. Dave El¬ gin and Greg Howard became first-time fathers of boys. Bill Smith added num¬ ber four to his list of offspring. Renee Metcalfe gave birth to a girl. Principal Herb DeVos joins his fellow Lions in the Springfield Christmas Parade.

With a few exceptions of placing second to last, the Class of k83 had a monopoly on last place in yell com¬ petition. They weren’t always this way, however. In the canned food drive they placed second, beating out the seniors and the sophomores. They took third in the magazine drive at the beginning of the year, which provided funds for the prom. And under the leadership of their class officers, they succeeded in moving the prom out of the cafeteria to the Val¬ ley River Inn for the first year.

Invocation was given by Linda Garcia and Benediction by Pat Walch. Class response was given by Sen¬ ior Class President Brenda Evans. Ju¬ niors Christi Davis and Ernie Smith served as escorts.

Graduation 209 Another year Another year has passed; some of the students who shared times at Thurston will never return, but they’ll have their memories and this book to remember, this year of 1981. It was a year of shocks and a year of change. Some things we’ll want to re¬ member, others we’ll want to forget. In this book we have attempted to record events of significance that occurred dur¬ ing the year; things that touched the stu¬ dents here at Thurston. 1981 was a very good year, cherish it and remember it. We hope you enjoyed the Yearling. Sadie Goulet prepares to board her bus at the end of another school day.

Putting a yearbook together from September to May or June with an experienced staff is hard enough. But when a new adviser appears in No¬ vember and finally puts a new staff together in March, the difficulties have multiplied like the Med fly. (Yes, this is July.) Still, the job is done. Finally. The staff has re¬ corded the facts and figures which make Thurston what it is and made the year what it was. In com¬ piling this history, they strove for accuracy, fair¬ ness and attractiveness. For an inexperienced group, meeting those objectives was a chore to say the very least. Work was done and redone — with deadlines past — more than most would care to count, or recount. This book is a product of all who worked on it, but two students deserve special credit. Kelly Hop¬ per and Christi Davis were responsible for seeing the project through until the end. Getting it done is what counts, finally, and they did it. Summertime assistance also came from Julie Lee, Kelly Bomark, and Mark Ellsworth. Of course, a yearbook is not done in the summer alone. Excellent photographic coverage of school events was coordinated by head photographer Cur¬ tis Shields. He was assisted by Mark Ellsworth, John Bauder, Rob Romig and Mark Bates. Layout, research and copy writing also came from Dawn Haas, Tammy Poleski and the summer crew. Students in the newspaper class collected the data for the curriculum section. They were: Ruth Rowland, Susan Kennedy, Tanya Michlanski and Rob Romig (Shawn, where’s yours?) Jeanne Coe, who said she had some great ideas for the yearbook, completed the senior section (alone). She doesn’t want to hear about it now, though. The Yearling would be considerably thinner (by more than 30 pages) were it not for the advertising space sold. Gary Barnhart, Mike Larson and Kelly Canady topped the staff in sales volume. And Gail Chase and Bonnie Bye kept the sales pitch going right up to the end of the year, pulling in several more large ads. One of the more onerous tasks, the index of every person pictured in the book, was initiated by Cindy Quinn. Kelly and Christi completed the job. Although The Yearling is primarily a student publication, significant contributions were made by adults. A special thanks goes to Herb DeVos for his skillful administrative support. It would not have happened without him. Thurston’s teaching staff also provided indirect assistance by excusing yearbook staff members who interrupted or missed their classes on count¬ less occasions. (Not to mention being called at home at all hours to repeat information for the umpteenth time.) The coaches and club advisers suppled scores, names and much of the raw materi¬ al in their sections. In addition, Marcia Graham and her commer¬ cial art class sketched several sample yearbook covers which stimulated the staffs final choice. Gary Guttormsen took pictures at the state volley¬ ball tournament and on skiing trips. Thanks also to the Springfield News for loaning their proof sheets and negatives of football, gym¬ nastics, cross country and track. Copies of the wire photos on the news pages came from the library of the Eugene Register- Guard with permission from Barrie Hartman, managing editor, and Howard Graves of Associat¬ ed Press, bureau chief. Leon Keefe, of School Pictures, Inc., gave the negatives or prints of several team pictures the yearbook photographers had taken on invisible film. He also assisted during the group picture session and took all of the underclass mugs. For little money and much trouble, Moderne Studio kept the photographers equipped with film, paper, chemistry and advice. John Briggs also had his crew work on printing several negatives that lesser mortals would have given up on. As the book’s due date went from overdue to Way overdue, some rush typesetting of the index (only about 1600 names and at least three times as many page numbers) was completed by Editing and Design. And finally, to the ones who have to make sense out of where to put what how big and when, Herff- Jones themselves: thank you. To Rand Wilhelm- sen, the account representative who earns a 30 per cent commission: you’re welcome.
