Mrs. McKnight played a great part in our community. In 1981. Mrs. McKnight directed the first Ashland trip students in a one act melodrama. She directed the students in the Wamic Grade School in a play titled “How the West Was Really Won and in the Fall of 1986, she directed the Town and Country Players in the first musical in this area for several years, “Sing Out, Sweet Land. For two years Mrs. McKnight was the Senior advisor, helping run concessions and organizing the Senior Skip. In the Fall of 1986, Mrs. McKnight took all of the Seniors to Ashland to the Shakespearean Festival. In the summer Mrs. McKnight enjoys swimming, rafting and beachcombing. The Annual Staff and the entire Senior Class would like to show their appreciation and say, “Thank you.” 2 Counselor Secretaries School Board Superintendant These are the people who ran our school and made it what it is today.

It was time for the 1986 Redside football season to begin its daily doubles. 7:30 AM players were arriving in the locker room. Practice was to begin at 8:00 AM. When that time came around there were 15 players standing around looking for the rest of the players. So the season began with only 3 returning seniors to show the younger kids the ropes. By the time the first game rolled around there were 3 more players and 2 of them were seniors. The Redsides improved with every game and were very eager to play. By the 7th game of the season the team had grown to 22 players. As fate would have it the already small role call was cut by 8 due to injuries. All of the players were very happy to get to play as long as they did with such small numbers. 1. Assistant Coach Mike Lawson. Dan Thomas. Sam Woodside. Kelly Law-son. Eric Petersen. Pat Tolentino.

Volleyball Although the win loss record of the 1986 team was less than perfect, they were a team with a lot of heart. Through many disappointments they kept on doing their best and kept their chins up. Losing only two seniors, they will be ready for action in the 1987 season. Good luck to the 1987 Wasco County Union High School Volleyball team. 1. Varsity Volleyball Squad, front row. L. to R . Patti Johnson. Connie Johnson, Sherah Elam. Rhonda Anders, and Michelle Massey.

The win-loss record does not clearly indicate what a successful season they had. After graduating 8 seniors the previous year and having only 2 players over 6’ tall, the small, but fast Redsides outlasted the majority of their opponents. The Redsides were unable to make the district tourney due to a very tough Western half of the league. While they were unable to make the top two teams in the West half, they won all but 1 of their games against East teams. Coach Howey easily summed up the season, “It was a weird season; we lost so many close games. If we’d have won some of them, we would have been in the district tournament.” The J.V. team also enjoyed a successful season. The young Redsides continuosly gained victories with a well-rounded offensive threat. Mrs. Torland pushed the players up to their potential and tremendous improvements among the players were witnessed throughout the season. 1 Basketball stats. L to R . Mark Peterson. Tnna Mitchell.

Although the girls lost their first game against the Weston McEwen Tiger Scots, thus ending the season, they were not without pride. As Coach Schackman put it. “It was a great season. We won when we had to. worked hard, played together. and gave it our best shot. That’s all I asked for.” The Redsides did win when they had to. They were tied with Riverside with the tie breaker on their side which meant they had to win just as many as Riverside. It all came down to three games. Knowing that they had a good chance of going to district, the girls traveled to Heppner to take on the Mustangs. The Redsides lost by four points in over time but were not without hope. During the next three games, the Redsides beat each of their opponents. Including a season highlight game against Sherman County. UM . | 1.

With a meager turnout, the team was able to advance to the district tournament in Pendleton where they were eliminated by a tough Pilot Rock team. With only 12 players lasting throughout the season and numerous nagging injuries, the Redsides were still able to keep a winning record. Everyone was proud of the gallant effort by all the players involved. 1. The 1987 Redsides. left to right: Coach, Herb Snodgrass. Pat Tolentino. Randy Iverson. Mike Earl. Greg Houser. Rick Nannini.

They had a small turnout but did as well as expected. The boys were small in numbers but big at heart. They improved with every meet and were content with their season. The girls, on the other hand, had a successful season as they had hoped. They were very strong, as shown by winning the CBC Championship meet and going to District. They did very well there.

Not only were these activities exciting but they also were a form of income. Leisure time sports are activities that many young adults will use and participate in for their future years. Many of the activities could also, in the future become a professional income. 1. Randy Iverson on an Elk hunting trip to the Blue Mountains. 2.

The leaders of the group consisted of 4 main officers and there were representatives from thirteen different clubs in our school. Together they all helped to make our school activities run smoothly. The ASB election at the end of the year brought an interesting turn of events, since all girls were elected as ASB officers for the 1987-88 school year. 1 1986-87 ASB officers, left to right: Mr Froemming. advisor; Toni Hagen, treasurer; Chris Nannini, president; Rick Nanmni. vice-president Missing Shannon Whitecotton. secretary 2.

Instead it was held on November 29. 1986. The cheerleaders spent many long hours decorating the cafeteria to transform it into a mystical place. The theme for Homecoming was “Up Where We Belong”; decorations were balloons and clouds. The choosing of the Homecoming court took on a different twist last year. There were, like usual, a freshman, sophomore, and junior princess, but last year, there were two senior princesses chosen. The queen was chosen from the two. The court was: freshman. Wendie Cox; sophomore. Gretchen Petersen; junior. Heather Weiss; seniors. Debbie Carmichael and Tami Harwood. Dan Thomas was Mr. Touchdown. l Mr Touchdown. Dan Thomas and Queen.

Seven AFS students visited Wasco County during International Days: Hui Don Shao. from The Peoples’ Republic of China; Azhar Abu Zarin, from Malaysia; Alba (Patty) Sanchez, from Honduras; Nick Gorson. from The Republic of Ireland; Susana Fernandez, from Spain; and Laurence (Lori) Gaist, from Switzerland. International Days were held on April 23 and 24. During these two days there was a potluck dinner, a dance, a softball game, and time set aside to get to know the exchange students better. For the first time at W.C.U.H.S., the entire student body spent the day in various classrooms talking with the exchange students on a small group, rotation basis. The informational exchange was excellent. We all thank Mrs. Lewis, the advisor, and Tina Justice. AFS President, for organizing two great days. 1. 1986-87 AFS Club members: back row.

The number of students on the staff made everyone put their minds in gear and be creative for both the annual and the newspaper. Despite the small amount of people in it, the class was solely responsible for creating this annual you have just read. Of course none of this would have been possible if the annual advisor, Mrs. McKnight, had not been behind them all the way. 1. The great photographers.
