PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING PEO PLE some people are like the sunrise looking to each dawn with renewed hope some people are like the noon direct and warm sunshine honest and trusting some people are like the midnight darkly deceiving in a world of dreams I am the sunset searching for reality receding into dusky night by Shelly Woodside administration we are . . Dedicated Mr. Greg Newton, school counselor, vice-principal, and the French Spanish teacher; said “This year school was great and fun. In my four years here this was the best year for communication between the students, administration staff and the teachers.” Mr. Phil Willard, principal said, “This is one of the finest years I’ve ever had. I think the students accepted the role of students and became responsible to themselves and the school district. 1. Looking over something of importance is Mr Greg Newton. 2 Mr. Phil Willard takes a coffee break from his busy schedule. 4 school board we are. . . Caring liEMIU The primary purpose of the school board was to make available the buildings and the funds to operate a good school. Then it becomes the responsibility of the administration, staff, and students to develop that good school. Due to the dedication of our school board members in carrying out their purpose WCUHS was able to function successfully. Many decisions made by the school board influenced our lives, some of them were: allowed the seniors their skip, bought a small bus, and discussed the expansion of our district. 1. Jim Kennedy. Scott Woodside. Shirley Susac. Ed Cobum and Fred Ashley, our school board committee 2. Our Budget committee for WCUHS: Sandy Woodside. Sid Parman. Larry Ashley and Ed Coburn. 3. The budget committee chairman. Mark Peterson, busy during one of their meetings 5 faculty we are. .. Educators Three new teachers were introduced into WCUHS, Miss Stacey Ortega, Mr. Joe McClellan and Mrs. Irene McKnight. The threesome joined the veterans of last year to form a very diversified group. The faculty has taken an active part in other things around the school because almost every member of the teaching staff was a coach or the advisor of a student organization. Nearly all of the teachers also participated in an enjoyable faculty vs. Juniors softball game the afternoon before school was adjourned for the summer. Most of the teachers were easy to talk to, interested, and could relate to the students, as well as among themselves. Opposite page: 1. Can’t you just see those microchips working in her mind?

Essential The support and combined effort of the WCUHS staff made the success of the 1982-83 school year possible. The staff included Jerri Parman and JoAnn Kennedy who helped the students every day selling lunch tickets, issuing admit slips, reading announcements and much more. Missy Parman filled in for JoAnn for about the last month of school. The staff also included Don Holste, Clydia Eveland and Sharon Thompson, who drove the school buses taking students to school, games and back home again. Other staff members were Holly Barber, Patty Puckett and Jeanie Dahlgren who prepared the meals and kept the food coming. George Foster and Donna Fargher who kept the school clean, helped make it look more attractive, and did maintenance work. At the suggestion of George Foster, the Cafetorium had a new look and a much more pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to Mr. Foster the cafeteria tables were taken off the wall and arranged in a special pattern with chairs placed around them and flower centerpieces on each table. The staff at WCUHS was very important, we couldn’t have done it without them. 1. Deputy Clerk. Jerri Parman and Secretary. JoAnn Kennedy, enjoying the Christmas season. 2.

They proved this not only in the classroom, but in their extracurricular activities as well. As a whole the class worked well together. When the winter sports rolled around the seniors joined forces to run a profitable concession business. A number of raffles were also held to raise money. A four day excursion at Surftides Resort in Lincoln City was the goal set by the class. Twenty-five of the seniors along with Mr. and Mrs. Joe McKnight and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Coburn (chaperones) left the school early on St. Patrick’s day (needless to say some pinching went on). An unplanned stop-over at Walters’ Corner for Sue W. delayed the skip, but after am hour or so the group was on their way. Once at their destination the class participated in a variety to activities. Deep sea fishing and watching video movies made up the main portion of the entertainment. None of the students who went on the trip misbehaved and once back home a letter complimenting the students behavior was received from the resort. 13 Clarice Hutcheson Bill Long ■ Les Martin Barbara Iverson Lori Jones Dale Middleton John Morlan -TUlifeP ?m Robert Smothermon Opposite page: 1.

Ambitious Teresa Abbott Bill Anderson Karen Anderson Steve Anderson Kim Blair The school year of 1982-83 was the most prosperous year the Junior class has ever had. They started out the year with only $47.00 and finished with approximately $1,500. The Junior class participated in a large variety of money making projects. They sold jewelry and First Aid kits. They held radio, ham and Christmas stocking raffels. They sponsored the Christmas Ball, Prom, and record dances, such as a sock hop. They also had a car wash, sold Baseball concessions and sold snow cones. The class president, Fred Walters and the class advisor. Miss Ortega were given a great deal of credit for the Juniors’ success. 1. Junior class secretary-treasurer. Karen Anderson, advisor. Miss Ortega, president, Fred Walters, representative.

Both were revived from the past. The Lettermen’s Club was brought back into existence by the lettermen. The members of this club were all males who had lettered in at least one varsity sport. Mr. Newton was the advisor and the officers were: Brad Snodgrass-President, Tom Barber-Vice President, Robert Smothermon-Representative, and Les Martin-Secretary. Mr. Rice was the Coin Club advisor. Officers were: Sue Walters- President, Lori Jones-Vice President, Jeff McCoy-Representative, and Jenny McReynoIds-Secretary. The club held a dance and a car wash for a total of $91.00 at the end of the year. A trip to Kah Nee-Ta was planned but never materialized. 1. The Lettermen's Club: (Front) Scott Wheelon.

Supportive All of the Redside supporters have banded together to form a group called the Booster Club. They supplied many needed things around the school. Most are athletic afiliated, such as the donation of materials for a baseball concession stand and taking tickets at many sports events. The students deeply appreciated the help of the Booster Club members and hope that their participation in school activities will continue for many years of come. 1.

Three Booster Club members looking out of the concession stand that they donated the materials for. 3. Vince Neal telling Joe McKnight and Larry Ashley how to get the job done right! girl's league we are . . Sneaky An effort was made to make this year different by the members of Girl’s League. A football player’s name was drawn by each willing member, that girl then became his secret admirer. The girls decorated lockers and left everything from green M Ms to glow in the dark spider webs behind to surprise their locker buds. A considerable amount of sneaking around was done between classes and after school during football practice. A lot of time was also spent at home baking cookies. It was enjoyable for both the girls and the players, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a new tradition at WCUHS. Football concessions made a lot of money for the organization due to the successful season, so the scholarship was raised from $50 to $100. Kathy Starkovich recieved this scholarship and was also named Girl of the Year. Along with all this, the Girl’s League organized the Mother’s Tea under the direction on their advisor, Miss Wong. 1.

Adventurous WCUHS was pleased and proud to be a part of the AFS program. A group of students led by Tina Dupuis was helpful in giving support to the program. Bernardo Hoffman from Argentina lived with the Jim and Mary Kay Harlow family in Wamic. Bernardo, as a senior, carried a full academic load and took an active role as a community member in WCUHS. His reputation as a supberb guitar player was well established. He also was manager of the wrestling team and a photographer for the school’s yearbook. He was delighted with the senior skip trip and commented that being on the deep ocean was a thrill. Bernardo in his quiet, unassuming, friendly way was an important member of the student body and our community. Julie Coburn, daughter of Ed and Chris Coburn of Tygh Valley, spent her senior year in Denmark. As she wrote of her experiences we shared the excitement of skiing in Norwary, the apprehension of riding her bike to school in a storm and her frustration at trying to chat in Danish with her schoolmates. We all look forward to her return in July so she can tell us of her adventures. 1. Bernardo Hoffman changing slides during a school assembly which he tells of his country, Argentina. 2.

Laborious Once more a group of students had joined forces to construct a Wasco County Union High School annual. Giving up their time and some activities elsewhere to take on the responsibilities of a staff member. The members spent long hours after school preparing and perfecting their pages. With the help of the advisors, Ms. Lewis and Mr. Froemming, and the editor, Lori Jones, another annual was produced. The money that was brought in through the teachers pop machine, student fees, candy sales and the school itself helped the publication of the annual financially. Devotion, tedious labor, and responsibility have been a big part of the annual staff. However, active involvment needs to be more prominent by a larger group of students. We hope to see this come about in the near future. 1. Tina Peterson and Ms Lewis trying to decide where to put the remaining Sophomore mug shots. 2.

Spirited The cheerleaders had a new advisor. Miss Ortega. The cheerleaders had to give up a variety of things. For one thing, Miss Ortega said “a lot of time is involved and I don’t think people really realize how many hours are involved.” The girls practice about 3-5 hours a week. Time is also spent attending the games, driving back and forth to them, getting ready for pep assemblies, decorating lockers and putting up posters. Comments among the cheerleaders were that there was a lot of work behind cheerleading but it was really fun going to the games. Cheerleaders have an influence in The Redside Spirit. ‘‘Cheerleaders as well as students in general really support the athletic program here at the school. I think it makes a big difference to the athletes to have their crowd backing them up and cheering them on.” said Miss Ortega. The football cheerleaders were, Kathy Starkovich, Kecia Cook, Marni McLucas, Tiffany Snow, Kassie Snodgrass, and Clarice Hutcheson. Miss Ortega felt that they had a really successful season. They entertained the students with pep assemblies, and organized Homecoming and Spirit Week. They worked hard and had lots of fun. Through rain, snow and freezing weather they jumped, yelled and kept on cheering. The wrestling cheerleaders were Kassie Couey, Kassie Snodgrass, Kecia Cook and Tina Dupuis. Unlike football cheerleaders, they performed inside. The difference between cheerleading for football and wrestling is that for wrestling you mostly sit on the bench and yell where as in football one may do all out routines. The J.V. basketball cheerleaders were Michelle Williamson. Helen Watson, and Marcy Newberry. They may have had the toughest job of all because the crowds were small. Yet, the girls' peppiness and cheerfulness created much support for the J.V. basketball team. The Varsity basketball cheerleaders were Marni McLucas, Jennifer Nault, Sandy Starkovich, and Sheri Duncan. Each of them had different feelings of how being a varsity basketball cheerleader was special to them. Sandy’s comment was ‘‘I feel it has helped me come out of my shell and become acquainted with more of the kids. I have met more people and I really enjoy most of them. I’ve had fun traveling with the team and seeing places I have never seen before.” The cheerleaders entertained students and cheered on athletes. They worked behind the scenes practicing, decorating, and posting signs. Overall most of the cheerleaders had a lot of fun. 1. The Football cheerleaders Clarice Hutcheson.

Never once in my recollection did our players enter or exit the playing field without pride, confidence and courage, ’ so coach Newton summarized the season. Jeff McCoy took full time responsibility as quarterback for the first time in three years. Unfortunately, Jeff had to step out of the action due to a ruptured spleen. Junior, Fred Walters, finished the season as quarterback. Behind him were experienced running backs Joe Brabender and Jay Tolentino. Jay was honored as the First Team running back. The offensive line was anchored by 215 pound Brad Snodgrass and 195 pound David Webb. Tom Barber, Robert Smothermon and Les Martin filled the core of the line. At tight end and wide receiver were Second Team receivers, J.D. Elam and Bill Anderson. The Redsides defense was the bigger part of the team. They amazingly held their opponents to an average of 7.9 points a game; the lowest Mr. Newton had ever coached. The noseguard was agile Robert Smothermon. Tackles were Brad Snodgrass and David Webb, supported by their backups 160 pound Chris Windom and 200 pound Steve Anderson. Defensive ends were Bill Anderson (Second Team All-League) and Tom Barber (First Team All-League). Middle linebacker was Joe Brabender (First Team All-League and an alternate for the All Shrine game). Corner backs were Alaine Encabo and Fred Walters. Halfbacks were Scott Wheelon and J.D. Elam (Second Team All-League). Safety was First Team All-Leaguer, Jay Tolentino. Together they managed to pull off seven wins and only three losses. The sports writers considered the Redsides a dark horse and they were surprised when the Redsides statistics started stacking up. After the Wahtonka game everyone knew that the Redsides had been underrated. Even the Wahtonka rivals were impressed. “We have a lot of respect for Wasco County, their coached said. “They’re tough kids and they have a lot of pride. The final game with Enterprise was an outstanding accomplishment for the players and their school. This was only the second time in the history of Maupin High School that the football team had advanced to the State Play-Offs or finshed second in the league. The 1963 team was the last to reach this mark. Truely the Redsides won and lost as a “class performer together in dignity, discipline, and spirit. 44 Opposite page: 1 Leading passer.

Juniors: Steve Anderson, Vince Caldwell, Jon Boggs, and Mike Cox. Sophomores: Ed Coburn, Mike Brendon, Alaine Encabo, Brian Malitz, Troy Holliday, Marc Armstrong, and Sam Peterson. Freshmen: Chuck Ashley, Marty Bushke, Nick Rachor, David Tolentino, Jeff Hull, Walt Johnson, Carey Bloom, Jimmy Duncan, Todd Dodge, Kirk Blake, and Allen Jones. Even though the Statistics weren’t too high, enthusiasm, interest, and patience were domineering assets in every game. The season was good experience for each individual on the team; experience that can be used in their years to come. 1. Coach Portwood gives some encouragement to his wide receiver.

Together The volleyball season started out with a pounding loss to Culver at the Redside Invitational Tournament. The loss to Culver was avenged during a league winning streak that ended at Cascade Locks. This brought an abrupt turn around with the Redsides losing the remainder of league contests, placing them in a three-way tie for third place in the District. This tie was broken by azzi points. The volleyball season ended on a surprising note with the Redsides placing third in the District Tournament following behind Wahtonka and Sherman County. 1.

After several years of futile efforts they brought home first place at District. The first game was a rude awakening to the Redside girls as they suffered a startiling defeat to Harrisburg. In the following weeks confidence was regained and the team progressed well until the last league contest where they lost in a half-hearted contest against S.C.. This led into District, where the Redsides were eager to redeem themselves which they did. The first night resulted in a Redl£0ry|°Ver U,ma,i a 'n ,hC chamP'° ship game the rIcUM rr 3 SUrpriSins 41 45 vic,ory over Pilot Rock.

In terms of games won and games lost their record was not very noteworthy. At the start of the season the Redsides placed second in the Redside Tourney to a very tough Harrisburg team. In the Dufur Tourney the boys lost in the championship game of one point to Col Christian. The last tournament was at Culver where the Redsides placed third. The preseason showed the team losing twice to White Salmon and beating Dufur. Their pre-league record was four wins against five losses. When league rolled around the Redsides struggled through the first half but as the season was closing the boys surprised a few team, by making the games close. Coach Howey said that this team was well disciplined as well as having a great attitude. 1. J.D. Elam banks another lay in. 2. Varsity team: Peter McAllister. Jon Boggs. Scott Wheelon, Jeff McCoy.

The wrestling team achieved a lot individually and as a whole. For the first time since 1969-1970 we had a State Wrestling Champion, Joe Brabender at 168 lbs. Being coached by Mr. Pat Hughes, Mr. Perren Baker and aided by Mr. Jeff Parman, the Redsides also reached their title of “District Champions”.

Impressive It was another great year for the mighty Redsides as they dominated their district in baseball for the third year in a row. There were eleven returning players; Tom Barber, Joe Brabender, J.D. Elam. Robert Smothermon, Dan Snell, Brad Snodgrass, Bill Anderson, Fred Walters, Ed Coburn, Alaine Encabo, and Sam Peterson. Seven eager Freshmen joined to help complete the team. With a loss early in the season to the Wahtonka Eagles it left the Redsides with a “do or die” situation throughout league play. The Redsides triumphed over the Eagles giving them a chance at the District title. The well earned win over the Riverside Pirates moved the Redsides up to the quarterfinals with a game against Union. This game was certainly the climax of the season as they lost to Corbett, a strong offensive team, in the State “A” semi-finals. The Redsides had an outstanding year and should be very proud of themselves. The 1983 Redside Baseball Team: (Front) Bill Anderson, Brad Snodgrass. Joe Brabender. J.D. Elam. Tom Barber.

Entertaining Enthusiasm, competitiveness, and unity, uniquely describe Wasco County’s 1982 Homecoming Week. Although the yelling contest and tug-of-war were the favorites, there were many new contests and activities such as; the Pork Rind eating, fashion show, stack-a-class, and hall decorating. This year’s seniors easily earned the spirit jug for the second year in a row with 149 points. The sophomores followed with 121, the juniors were close behind having 117. The inexperienced freshman tagged along with all of their 41 points. Wasco County defeated their long-time rivals, Wahtonka Eagles, in a struggling battle between the defenses. In the fourth quarter the determined Redsides broke through the Eagles’ defense, scoring the victory for the Homecoming game. During halftime of this suspenseful game, the Homecoming court was introduced. Class princesses were: Marilyn Peterson, Jennifer Nault, Tiffany Snow, and Kecia Cook. Wasco County’s first King, Joe Brabender, rushed from the locker room to the field, barely making it in time to crown Queen Lori Jones. The Homecoming dance was held after the football game with an appropriate theme “Emotions In Motion’’. 1.

They were; Wendy Snodgrass, Shelly Woodside, Tina Dupuis, Kathy Starkovich, Clarice Hutcheson, and Lori Jones. Winning the representative title for WCUHS was Clarice Hutcheson. As representative Clarice had the chance to do a lot of things. She said, “I really enjoyed visiting the capitol building, meeting Wayne Fawbush and Ken Jernstedt, sitting in on the voting of a bill, going to the means and ways committee and meeting the other girls.” (Clarice at right). Jeannie Walker was chosen as Wasco County Beef Princess. Being Beef Princess involved a lot of time and dedication. Jeannie gave many demonstrations involving the beef industry and speeches on beef and beef products. Jeannie said, ‘‘Being Wasco County Beef princess is fun, exciting, and it gives you a chance to meet lots of people.” Above, Jeannie Walker. 76 boys' giHs' state we are...

Country As every school year comes to an end, several things always happen, graduation, finals and the Mother’s Tea. After a few days of frantic last minute preparation the show always goes on. “Thank God I’m Country” was the theme that set the stage for the program. Lori Jones was the M.C. for the second year in a row. Several skits and songs were performed by WCUHS students, along with a hearty ‘salute’ to each of the communities and square dancing. Officers and girls of the month were escorted onto the stage. The Girl’s League scholarship was presented to Kathy Starkovich, who was also Girl of the Year. After names were drawn for flowers, Lori closed the show with a well deserved thanks for Miss Wong. Everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief as another successful Mother’s Tea was completed. 1.

Lack of money, due to the painting of the gymnasium, was the major reason that little was accomplished. They did set up a student store that sold a variety of health foods. The student store helped raise money to pay for the yearly audit, with a little left over for the coming school year. Student Council consisted of many responsible leaders with good ideas but there wasn’t enough spirit and energy directed towards these ideas to make them reality All in all, the A.S.B. did have a sound and satisfactory year. 1.

Outstanding Although it was a small group, the Honor Society accomplished a lot. Starting the year out in the hole, the members accumulated enough money to give a $100 scholarship for the first time in the history of this school. This scholarship was presented to Lori Jones at graduation. Three new members were inducted at the special ceremony, Alaine Encabo, Laura Duling, and Karen Hough. Mrs. Season was the advisor. The society would like to extend thanks to all the businesses who helped them make the money. 84 Opposite page: 1.

He sang the National Anthem during home football games, accompanied soloists on the piano and played his trombone with the pepband. Three concerts were performed and the stage band participated in a band festival at the Portland Community College. Marilyn Peterson, Ann Iverson and Shelly Anderson played clarinets in concert band. Sam Peterson played the alto saxophone, Bobby Friel and Matt Beymer played the drums and Carey Bloom played the bell.

Active Twenty-six children aged 4-5 were involved in the Home Ec. playschool. Two sessions were held each day, Tuesday through Friday at 9:00 to 10:00 and 1:00 to 3:00. For the first time all positions were reserved a week early. Mrs. Season commented that it was an extremely successful four days, although it was a little too hot. She felt the week went a lot more smoothly than the previous years due to the number of students who were returning to her classes from earlier years. The kids played games, sang songs and ate food prepared by the classes. The experience was beneficial to both the students and the playschoolers, along with their mothers who got a little break for two hours a day. 88 opposite page: 1.

Illustrious The 1983 Prom, sponsored by the Junior class, may have been the most illustrious event to occur at WCUHS. For the first time in the history of this school the Prom was held in the gymnasium. To add to the effect of a spring formal, pastel streamers and balloons were used for decorations. Memory books and glasses were fitting momentos for the theme “Moments and Memories’’. The Rod and Clay Band performed for the dance which consisted of two members. Lori Jones said, “The music was appropriate for this dance.” Kathy Starkovich was crowned queen and J. D. Elam was crowned king. The alternates were Lori Jones, Kecia Cook. Robert Smothermon, and Joe Brabender. The Prom was a moment that everyone who attended will remember. The Junior class appreciated the enthusiasm and creative ideas given by their advisor Miss Ortega. 1.
