We've tried harder for better picture quality, more interesting layouts, and an attempt to get everyone in the book at least twice. We've tried to get the name of our book widely known and talked about throughout VHS. , Yearbook editors, for that’s what each person is, have to be involved and interested in the school and its activities. Keeping on top of all the happenings and fun things is the key to a better yearbook. We had such people on our staff plus an enthusiastic Advisor. Ron Remsen. who made sure we kept right on track. Many thanks to each of these great people. A Yearbook is one of the most important things about sharing a school year with friends.

The Loggers started out confident that they would produce an excellent record, and they did. Vernonia's first two pre-season games were shutout victories, both over strong AA teams. The first was over Scio, and the next was over Salem Academy who had not been shutout by any school in nine years. The regular season saw the Loggers knock off one league opponent after another, and ended in another shutout victory; this time over Knappa who had not allowed a touchdown to be scored against them in eleven consecutive games. That win gave the Loggers their third league championship in four years and a spot in the State play offs. The first playoff game was against Chiloquin. The Loggers held on through the below freezing cold to win, and earn another shot at five time State Champions, Regis. The high point of the 1978 Football Season was yet another shutout victory; this time over Regis. This was the first time that they had been beaten by an A school in five years, and the first time that they had been shutout by any school in ten years. The final game was played on Grecnman field against St. Mary's of Medford, and ended with the Loggers taking the runner-up spot for 1978. Congratulations to all players and coaches on an excellent season. I. The offensive line gives Dean Johnston enough time to become one of the top passers in the league. 2. In the backlicld.

Football team got off to a slow start this season, but under the efforts of first year coach, Brian Montgomery, they progressed with determination. The team's overall record for the year was 2 wins, and 3 losses. Games lost for this season were against Banks, Warren-ton, and Knappa. Wins came against Lutheran and a tough Clatskanie team. The team was small this year, and relatively inexperienced. With well over half of the 16 players being freshmen, the squad was also a young one. Because the team was so small, everyone got a lot of playing time. Most of the guys on the team played on the offense, the defense, and the special teams. The whole squad will benefit because everyone got to play so much. The experience gained from this season will prove to be the deciding factor for many close games in the future of their High School years. Top Row: Joe Richardson, Wes Argue, Pal Dotter.

The boys team defeated all teams in the Northwest League and District One, and went on to place second in the State! Along the way they even defeated several AAA size schools. Karl Garner proved to be the outstanding runner throughout the season, and finished second at the State Championship meet in Eugene with a time of 15:44. Senior runners Jeff McMas-ter, Pat Lowry, and George Ray had a good season and will be missed greatly next year. For the first time ever, a full girls team ran this year. The four sophomores and one freshman were lead by second year runner, Carole DeLemos. who placed 12th in the State A girls race in Eugene. Coach Ron Remsen states, “Next year should prove to be another good year for boys and girls teams. All girls will be returning, and the strong boys team should continue to place high in state competition.” I. Kalhi Rinks makes a greal finish of 7th place at the District Meet in Pier Park. 1978 CROSS COUNTRY RECORD Opponent Boys Girls Tillamook Inv. 4th 12th Rainier 2nd 4th Colton 1st 1st Clatskanic 2nd 2nd Columbia Christian 1st 1st Vcrnonia Inv. 1st 1st Champocg Inv. 1st 9th North Marion Inv. 1st 3rd Catlin Gable 1st - Portland Christian 1st 1st League 1st 1st District 1st 2nd State 2nd - Back Row: Coach Ron Remsen.

Really hoping for a first, but accepting a second place trophy is the VMS Cross Country team. Varsity Volleyball 3rd In League Placing third in the league was the defeat-defying Kami-Kazi Varsity Volleyball team. This was the second year with Coach Tesdal and the bump-set-spike routine. It was also the second year for their third place title in the league. Coach Tcsdal's key word was “Anticipation! He continually drilled the girls on anticipating their opponents strategy, position of the ball, and their position on the floor. He also stressed keeping a positive attitude throughout practices as well as games. Coach Tesdal remarked, “Our girls gain in knowledge and skill each year, becoming one of the better teams in our league. We'll keep biting at the heels of State until we get there! On October 4, all of the volleyball girls went to the Memorial Coliseum to watch the United States team defeat the volleyball team from Japan. They went in hopes to learn better techniques and styles while also having a great time. One of the key games of the season was won against Corbett, who ended up second in the league. They also put up a good fight against Warrenton, who finished first in the league. Even though they lost both times, the girls left with a feeling of giving Warrenton a real workout! Junior, Captain Sheri Hiveley, made first team All-League. She inspired the team to do their best and hang in there when the going got rough. Three seniors contributed greatly on the Varsity team. Two of the Seniors received honorable mention on the leagues All-Star team: Lori Wilson and Tracy Carroll. Adding to the team for three years was Senior. Diane Van Winkle. All three of these girls will be greatly missed by the whole Varsity team. 1 1978 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL RECORD Knappa won Corbett lost Warrenton lost P.C. won l.uthcran lost Knappa won Corbett won Warrenton lost P.C. won Lutheran won I.

Though neither of the teams had a good win-loss record, they really showed their skills on the playing floor. They displayed these improved skills by stomping Warrcnton, who was the best team in the league. Many of the JV girls have shown that they are ready to step in where needed; for example, on the Varsity team. Every year, their skills have improved as the girls become aware of good team work. Coach Tcsdal commented, “One thing I truly admire about the Vernonia girls is that everyone of them comes out to play, and plays hard. It doesn't matter whether they are Varsity or C Team; they always do their best! I. Brooke Crowslon and t ana Green agree that ihrec hands arc better than two. 2. Proving her worth at the line.

C TEAM VOLLFYBALL Boy’s Varsity Basketball “Make It Happen” The 1978-1979 edition of Logger Basketball had a tough act to follow, and very little experience on hand to do it. One returning Lettcrman and an enthusiastic band of ex-J.V.s took on the challenge of a legacy of forty straight wins and two consecutive State titles. Because of a late start with the involvement in the State Football Finals, and a tougher than usual AA pre-game schedule, a .500 season appeared very successful. Not to be overlooked is the fact that Ver-nonia achieved a tie with Warrenton for the best overall league record of seven wins and three losses. Wins over Dayton and South Bend, W A, highlighted preleague play, and the inability of Northwest League teams to win on the road was a characteristic of league play. The Loggers displayed strong play on occasion, but could not establish consistency. Realistically, it was a good year and certainly a year to build upon with a fine nucleus returning next year. This was the first year of the league playoffs to determine who goes to State. Instead of the team that placed first in the league going directly to State, the first team played the fourth team and the second team played the third team. The winner of those games played to see who went to State. The 1978-1979 edition of Logger Basketball always hustled, worked hard to “Make it Happen!”, and became “Winners!” 1979 VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD US OPPONENT THEM 49 Neah-Kah-Nie 57 58 Rainier 74 69 Clatskanic 75 73 Yamhill 50 81 Dayton 66 71 Yamhill 66 54 Rainier 86 67 South Bend 64 43 Seaside 79 50 Dayton 71 67 Neah-Kah-Nie 69 47 Warrenton 52 58 Clatskanic 60 68 Knappa 58 57 Corbett 54 47 PC. 65 65 Lutheran 51 73 Knappa 6 54 Warrenton 51 54 Corbett 42 55 Lutheran 57 65 PC. 54 42 Corbett 37 67 PC. 78 I.

Basketball Mr. Gordon Crowston coached the J.V. team for his second year which he said he enjoyed very much. Our strength was good defense and good, scrappy guys and several that could hit the hoop. Hey guys, thank you for a very enjoyable season of basketball. Coach Crowston and his team took on some really tough “AA schools throughout the season, and their record for “AA play was twelve wins and ten losses. The J.V. team gained a lot of experience in these games that gave them the initiative to improve on their skills and do better as a team. The experience in those games went toward helping the squad do great in League play. They enjoyed taking first with a record of seven wins and only three losses. The teamwork that was displayed really encouraged the audience to believe that those boys could easily take over for the Varsity team. The J.V. program has been quite successful with preparing players to keep up the reputation of VHS.

This was Coach Klinger's first year teaching and coaching here at VHS, so in a way. Coach Klinger was a freshman too. Coach Klinger talked about his players, This was a most enjoyable time for me, and I really see a lot of potential in these players. There is a lot of talent that will mature these boys into fine basketball players.” Coach Klinger went on to say that they played many exciting and close games, and that he was pleased with their results. Even though, the freshman team didn't win too many of their games, (their record was seven wins and six losses) they gained one year’s experience. With this expcriccc under their bell these players will improve definitely in their future on the J.V. team and on to the Varsity team. But in the meantime, though, let's really support the freshman program because here is where great teams begin. 3 I. Rick Kricgcr specializes in jump shots. 2.

They didn't win too many of their games, but after talking with most of the girls on the team, it was found that they weren't depressed or discouraged. Instead, the girls were very optimistic. They said that they hadn’t failed, because they had given it their best. Most of the girls w ill be returning for next year; however, there were four graduating seniors on the team. They were: Tracy Carroll. Michele McDonald, Barbara O'Neil, and Diane Van Winkle. These seniors will be missed next year because of their experience and leadership. Coach Tcsdal explained that the reason lor the differentiation in skill levels was because the girls here in Vernonia never had a Junior High program; whereas, all the other schools have. Coach Tcsdal said that he was very proud of his girls because of their attitudes and their determination to never give up. He also expressed that next year will be a whole new ball game. “We will have had more experience and more knowledge of playing basketball and we will have the confidence to succeed. There were many girls who showed the promise of becoming very fine basketball players. and they will keep on trying to achieve their highest goal ...

Wrestling Young, Talented The 1979 Wrestling season began with several new' faces on the team, including a new assistant coach. Mr. Steve Calhoun. Mr. Terry Nimz returned for his fourth year as head coach for the VMS grapplers. Three newcomers joined the Vernonia squad, they were David and Bob Wood from Colorado, and Chris Holmes from New York. Add these three to the other eight first year wrestlers and the result is a very young team. The year held many highlights for the young squad, as Vernonia defeated the defending district champions, Corbett. by a score of 39-27 in a thrilling dual match at home. Another highlight for the team was the fact that they only lost one of their five home dual meets and one of their three away dual meets, for an overall dual meet record of six wins and two losses. The Vernonians traveled to four tournaments, bringing home three seconds and one disappointing last. Lack of experience caught up with the young team at the District Tournament with them taking no more than one first and four thirds. Wahtonka moved down from AA to take the Championship spot away from Corbett. Vcrnonia's State participant was Greg Parker in the 130 lb. weight class. Greg brought home a fifth place from the tournament in Springfield. Greg was also the team captain and one of six seniors to wrestle for Vernonia. The six seniors who lead the team through their exciting season included Mike Hiveley, Drew Tracy, Gregg Schaumberg, Jeff Me Master, Dennis Weller, and Greg Parker. 2 I.

Team Captain, (ireg Parker, finishes a well earned first at District, l iflh at Stale, and the best win-loss record on the Track Sends 14 To State The 1979 Track Season proved to be another good year for both the boys and girls. The boys placed first at league and first at district, defeating second place teams by about 50 points. The girls tied for second at league and placed third at district. Both teams picked up 10 points each at the state meet at Lewis and Clark College. This year, state participants were Dennis Larson (100, 200, 400 relay). Mike Hivclcy (long jump, triple jump. 400 relay. 1600 relay), Karl Garner (1500, 1600 relay), Tim McLeod (400, 400 relay. 1600 relay), Mike Harrison (shot). Brad Gardner (discus). Curt Marxer (400 relay, 1600 relay). Brien Weigand (high jump). Ken Smith (100, hurdles). Sheri Hivclcy (shot, javelin. 1600 relay), Angie Remsen (1600 relay). Teresa McLeod (1600 relay), Tammy Smith (1600 relay), and Carole DeLemos (1500). Karl Garner placed third at state in the 1500 and anchored the 1600 meter relay team which placed fourth. Sheri Hive-ley placed second in the javelin and fifth in the shot put. Sheri Hiveley outdistanced all trackstcrs on total points, capturing 305 Vi points for the season. Sheri set a league record in the javelin, and a district record in the shot and javelin. Carole DeLemos set a league record in the 1500. Twenty-two boys and thirteen girls completed the season. Jeff Smith coached the distance events and the hurdles; Terry Nintz coached the shot, discus, javelin, high jump, and pole vault; and head coach Ron Remsen handled the sprinters, relays, long jump, and triple jump. With a fine group of athletes returning, next year should again prove to be successful. 1979 Track Record Boys Girls Corbett Relays 1st 3rd Seaside 2nd 2nd Clatskanic 1st 1st Clatskanie 2nd 2nd Rainier Inv. 2nd 4th Yamhill-Carlton 2nd . 3rd Clatskanic 2nd 3rd league 1st 2nd District 1st 3rd RVj i Lf- 1 s T'’ H rr! fN1 f t I ir t Row.

I R ( Golf Swings Into Action The 1979 Golf learn iced off the season with a new coach. Mr. Dave Siedleman, Vernonia course record holder and graduate of VHS, helped each and every person improve his game. The team was fairly young, having Dwayne Bates and Max Sword as the only Seniors on Varsity. Bates has played golf all of his four years in high school and Sword has played two. Others on the Varsity team include Tony Barto-lomucci, w ho Siedleman says plays the second best game on the team, and Steve Grady, who plays the third. Sophomores Nolan Stearns and David Battrick also had a good season. There was only one J.V. player, that being Shawn Stevens. This bunch of boys had an excellent season, winning six and losing only four. Two of those losses were to Forest Grove, a AAA school. The team played well in the practice round for district, but the young players had difficulty under the pressure of the District Tournament. They placed sixth overall. VHS can look forward to an excellent golf team if the young golfers continue to play. 3 I. Sieve Grady playing ihc dirtiest game on the eourse. 2.

Freshman Cheerleaders: I) Robin Shafer 2) Gigi Curl 3) Rhonda Wood 4) Holli Holm Not pictured; Tami Smith Give Those Girls A Hand The Cheerleading season began long before school, at a summer Chccrlcading Camp. There, the J.V. and Varsity groups competed, and learned new cheers to bring home. They also learned several new skits to perform for the student body at Pep Assemblies. Their biggest duty all year was the planning of the full week of fun during Homecoming '78. They made up some original and creative dress-up days, organized competition, and just generally supervised the whole weeks events. It seemed as if all year, it was easy for the J.V. and Varsity squads to come up with one exciting idea and formation after another. At the beginning of the year, Carol Davis was the girl’s advisor. After she left, Nancy Eckland took over her position. It is said that being an advisor is a big job. These ladies would agree that it was rewarding too. Varsity Cheerleaders are the big sisters of the operation. They’ve had the most experience so far and usually ended up with the planning part of the activities. Receiving their Basketball sweaters just a short while before the season ended, was the all star, J.V. Cheerleaders. A good group of freshmen were received and of them we gained five new Freshmen Cheerleaders. In a test, it was found that an active Cheerleader walks close to twenty miles per day. That has got to be proof of their worth. I. Getting rowdy for a kick-off with the starting of the yell. TIMBER. 2. A little tired and worn out is Senior. Marcie Keasey.

Many things were changed throughout the year. One thing was that dance team tryouts were held at the end of the school year, giving the members a chance to go to camp, have many fund raising activities, and work on outfits for the upcoming year. Something else that was new was that only eight members were elected with the saying “Eight is Enough”. Another change was that they would have two outfits: a traveling outfit and a performing outfit. Besides showing pep at basketball games, they showed much school spirit by performing at Homecoming, escaping to Yon-calla and Elkton with the Band and Chorus, and performing to Greased Lightnen' at Talent Night. During the year, they held various fund raising activities: successful and unsuccessful. They sold cotton candy, sno cones, and pop at the Jamboree, they tried selling baked potatoes at a football game, they had their annual singing Valo-gram service which most people really enjoyed, and they put on a very successful Christmas dance which they sold carnations for, besides the numbers of bakesales and car washes. Something new that the members did was to perform to many records instead of the Band. Along with this, they wore outfits borrowed from the J.V. Basketball players and dressed in 50’s styles. Except for a few squabbles and conflicting personalities, this year was great for them and the talent that the seniors contributed will be greatly missed next year.

During November. Mr. Nelson was ill, so the Chorus didn't perform at the Thanksgiving Assembly. The substitutes during his absence were Nancy Durhkoop. Marlene Tracy and Claudia East. During December, Mr. Nelson came back to work for the Christmas Program which was canceled because of possible snow, and performed the next day during normal school hours, so the turnout wasn't as large. The highlight of the year was the two-day lour to Yoncalla. Mr. Nelson arranged the trip as an exchange for the Riddle visit, but at the last minute. Riddle canceled out and Yoncalla accepted. After Chorus, Band and Dance Team put on a show for the High School and Grade School; they stayed over night in their gym. The next day they performed at Elkton. a school with approximately ninety students. Coming home, they stopped at the beach in Lincoln City. It was a successful escape and great fun, but the exhausted kids were glad to get home. The Band and Chorus participated in league competition and placed high. During the year the groups performed for the Grade School, Christmas Program, Popcorn Concert and Spring Concert. The Seniors in Chorus practiced a special song performed at Graduation. The Band raised spirit during Pep Assemblies. Football and Basketball games. Both groups worked on many money-making projects to help the school board pay for the trip to Yoncalla. Both groups were involved in other different activities and were an asset to the school. (Opposite Page) I.

During October, eight members from National Honor Society went to Seattle on a tour of the King Tut exhibit. Any student with a 3.00 G.P.A., who also qualifies by character, leadership and service, can be initiated into NHS. To be in Student Council, officers campaign for a week and are elected into office. Student Council met once a week to help organize extra-curricular activities and discuss problems and try to find answers. The Activity Club consisted of High School students who have received a letter. The club was responsible for building the bonfire for Homecoming. To put Vernonia on the map, these 3 groups contributed through Student Government, Sports Activities, and Scholastic Achievement. 2 ACTIVITY CLUB: l-RONT ROW: Dean Johnston. Barry Hast. Don Thompson.

Although it was given credit as a class and grades were received, there wasn’t a feeling of being just another class. It was realized early in the year the importance of the Memolog to VHS. Editor Jacque Clark was given the great opportunity to attend the “Plan ‘79” workshop given by Josten's American Yearbook Co. at Linfield College. There she learned the many duties of a good editor and the importance of positive attitude. Many thanks to our artist, Lori Wilson, for the superb artistry she took her time to create. Very special thanks to Lana Green and Drew Tracy as Sports Editors, Vene-lia Daughtry as Student Life and Sr. Activities Editor, Tracy Carroll as Classes Editor, Angie Remsen as Academics and Groups Editor, Cristy Searles as Advertising Editor, and Vickie Pitt who took over and helped with events, sports, and academics at the semester. Besides working on their own sections, many of these editors helped out on several other sections. Journalism class published an eight page paper once a month. It was called the Timberline. Before Vernonia Freedom started the local newspaper, the Journalism class published the VHS Newsflash each week. They continued the Newsflash whenever it was needed. The last issue was June 4. It was used to update the final edition of the Timberline. Journalism was a publishing class rather than a newspaper class. Each student interviewed for stories, wrote their own stories, coluninized them, and made their own head lines. Also each student helped to prepare the copy for the offset press at the ESD office in St. Helens. There were many stories that were not published, but the students kept them to put in their scrapbooks of stories. I. Vcnclia Daughtry plots her pictures on her preliminary layout. 2.

Mrs. East filled the job of District Accountant while Mrs. Pitt became the Clerk Typist. They were both a big help to Mrs. Betty McKee who was not new but kept busy enough as District Secretary. Each of these ladies did very competent jobs and had fun while doing them. Mrs. Connie Pettijohn took over Carol Davis' position as Clerk Typist and Mr. Crowston’s Secretary. She was a great help to Peggy in the office when things got hectic. She says that she really liked working at VHS because the students and staff are so nice. A new position was filled with a new person. Mrs. Mary Berge is now the Attendance Officer. Her job was to write everyones admit slip and to find out where students were when they weren't in class. Mrs. Berge was more concerned about the students being in school than statistics. Besides all the new members of the administration, there were still the old ones. In his ninth year as Principal at VHS, Mr. Parrow seemed to dig up energy from nowhere. Mr. Crowston was hard to find, but he sure wrapped a great sprained ankle or finger. Peggy took a lot of playful harrassing by students and teachers and still remained the best Secretary around. Mrs. Howard was better at helping with problems, if you could get squeezed into her schedule. It was easy to feel confident with administrators like we had this year. We'd like to take this space to say, thanks for EVERYTHING! Back row: Ms. Cathy Howard, Dean of Girls; Mrs. Peggy Pitt, Clerk Typist; Mr. Wayne Welch. District Maintenance Supervisor.

Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Grady, and Mrs. Holsey were very patient in teaching the fundamentals of reading, language arts, and mathematics to students in need of work in these areas. Textbooks, magazines, and educational games were some of the media used in the department.

Special Education 45 Arts The Arts Department consisted of many different classes, giving students many opportunities to show their talent. Mrs. Clarice Schorzman was the only lady teacher in the Arts. She taught Home Economics I, II. Advanced, and Single Survival. Her teachings ranged from the basics of meal management and child development to designing and making clothes to the basics of making it on your own. Small Engines and Forestry were two new classes that were offered at VHS. Mr. Ralph Keasey taught both and kept the class of boys busy with repairs of chainsaws and lawn mowers which they later sold. In the forestry classes, which were two hour blocks, the students covered the theory of forestry and had some basic forestry practice. Mr. Mark Pettijohn was a new and welcomed addition to VHS. He taught the exploratory Industrial Arts classes. The classes did projects starting with architectural drawing and went on to do many craft projects. Shortly after the mishap at 3 Mile Island Penn., KGW, Channel 8. came out to film Vernonia as one of the first schools in Oregon to have opposing speakers on the subject of nuclear power. Mr. Doug Tesdal taught the Art I, II, and Advanced classes. Students in these classes did projects ranging from stained glass to ceramics to drawing and painting. Advanced Art classes had their paintings on display at the bank and library. Mr. Terry Nimz had the cabinet and woodworking classes. His students did many things, but the work was mainly on their own, making what they wanted. Another new teacher was Mr. Fred Klinger. He taught a good number of boys how to do repairs on car engines, transmissions, and carborators in Mechanics. He also taught Metals. The main highlight of the year for most of the classes was the Spring Art show. Each of the Art classes had a variety of projects on display. 3 1 As Paul Hager reaches for one of Sheri Hivcley's tools, she turns to her audience and says, Aren't boys a pain’” 2.

ART 47 Sciences 4X SCIENCES The Science Department consisted of six teachers, two of them being new in Vernonia. Mr. Brian Montgomery taught the General Science classes that were mostly Freshman. He taught his students a variety of things from working in their books to building their own fireworks. When Psychology students walked into the room on the first day back to school, they noticed that they had a brand spankin’ new teacher. Mr. Jeff Smith moved from his job in Oregon City to Vernonia to teach students why people do the things they do. Mrs. Nancy Eckland and Ms. Rosanne Thompson made the atmosphere more relaxed by adding posters, music, and new books to the library. Students were also allowed to check out some of the posters and records. Mr. Rich Jones taught part of the Freshman class in a class called ISCS. This class consisted of mostly experimental projects. Mr. Nice had all of the Sophomores in Biology. His teachings ranged from the theory of evolution and creation to the study of the bones and muscles to the biomes of the world. ■i LIT 5 (Opposite page) I.

SCIENCES 49 6 Language Arts Language Art classes were taught by four different teachers. Mr. Nelson taught one period of English to freshmen to help out Mrs. Alvstad who also taught freshman English. Mrs. Alvstad also was in charge of teaching all levels of French. In French, students were not only taught the language, but also French culture and once in a while students were allowed to cook a French dish. Mr. Smith taught his first year at VMS. He was in charge of sophomore and junior English. His classes were mainly centered around improving each student's writing ability. Mrs. Hearing was also an English teacher, who taught sophomore and senior English. Mrs. Hearing's classes ranged from the reading of Shakespeare to diagraming sentences. She also taught the exciting and interesting speech class. All these classes were well taught and successful. 4 w • .

Mr. Steve Calhoun, new at Vcrnonia, moved from San Diego to help students of Vernonia learn to make a living on their own.

The guys spent most of their time with rugged games and weight lifting. Mr. Nice also taught the sophomores and freshmen in health. The Social Studies Department included Mr. Gary Curtis as history and government teacher, and Mr. Steve Calhoun as World Geography teacher. Some students in history went on an independent study program. The government classes completed two state workbooks that brought a clearer understanding about state government.

It was their job to plan the big event that would last one full week, October 23-27. The girls made it extra spirited and fun by planning the week with some really original dress up days, starting with Western Day, followed by Grease Day, Weird Wednesday, Baby Day, and Blue and Gold Day. This year's court was made up of outstanding leaders and friends. These special people were princesses Chris East, Janet Eide, and Kathy Jackson. Princes were Mike Hiveley, Drew Tracy, and Scott Johnston. Mike Hiveley and Chris East were crowned King and Queen of Homecoming and were ready to preside over the rest of the week. Thursday night ended the rousing competition between classes with the sign, skit, and spirit competition. For the sign competition, the sophomores placed first, with their Film Flash of the Corbett Chickens. The juniors placed second, and seniors placed third. For the hall decorations, the seniors received first, with their theme, State is Our Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow. The juniors placed second, and the freshmen, third. Juniors received first place for their skit, with “Mork (David Jackson) as the star. Juniors placed second, and the freshmen, third. Juniors also received first in the spirit competition, seniors second, sophomores third. It was a very busy week preparing for this big night.

Balloons dominated the scene along with brightly covered tables and greenery. This set the stage for the transformation of the students at VMS. From everyday clothing and actions, all the students who attending the Prom were changed into very extraordinary people. The students wore simply magni-ficant clothing that totally made the Prom a wonderful success! Nevertheless, the students wasted no time in just sitting around, they all enjoyed getting up and dancing to the music of the band, “Smoke”. At approximately 10:00 p.m. the long, awaited moment arrived-the crowning of the Queen. At last the suspense was over when Princess Holli Kawashima was crowned Queen of the 1979 Spring Prom.

Mr. Steve Calhoun, advisor, said the class had creative energy, and showed potential and room for growth. He also said he wished there was more participation. were involved were enthusiastic and positive. In general, the class felt that high school was better than eighth grade because there was more freedom, privileges, and they were not treated like little kids anymore. The feelings were mostly positive, but some Freshmen wished there were more opportunities such as a gymnastics team, and creative classes such as drama. Various comments ranged from, “I can't wait to get to college! to “This is fun and exciting! to “We have more responsibilities and are expected to act more grown-up. When one young man was asked what was the best part of his Freshmen year, he simply replied, “Saturdays.” 68 FRt SHMAN Todd Adams Wes Argue Tracy Armstrong Tawna Arnold Joe Barela Tony Bartolomucci Joe Batty Richard Boam Kathleen Bruers Micky Bruers Penny Brunk Jerry Budge Rick Checks Regina Chilson Theresa Coe Sandy Cota Brooke Crowston Gigi Curl Delbert Curtis Loren Dennis Dianne Dickey FRESHMAN (.9 Pat Dottcr April Durst Polly Goodman Steve Grady Brenda Greene Randy Greene Lila Harrison Barbara Heath Doug Heifer Holly Holm Robert Jackson Calvin Kirby Rick Kriegcr Kelly Kyser Wendy Lamping Dawn Luttrcll Allan McMaster Sam Mailer Darryl Norton Duane Ostrander John Ragner 70 FRKSHMAN Debbie Raney Lorre Reynolds Cheryl Richardson Joe Richardson Melody Sauer Robin Shafer Todd Shaw Starla Shetler Tammy Smith Kimberly Stevens Leslie Sutherlin Scott Warren Kelly Whitlow Tracy Wilkerson Ronda Wood Ron Wright Brenda Wuest I RI SIIM W 71 Class Of ’81 The Sophomore Class was not active in money-making projects, but working hard during Homecoming and on the Prom turned both into a success. The Class was led by President, Carol DeLemos; Vice-President, Julie Gwin; Secretary, Vickie Pitt; Treasurer. Cindi Miner; and Student Council Representative. Ann Scrby. Sophomore advisor. Mr. Jeff Smith said being advisor was both hectic and rewarding. It was hectic, because it is hard to organize a mass of people, but it is rewarding when they dedicate their time and genuine hard work and come up winners, like when they took first place on their sign during Homecoming. “Anything is better than being a Freshman.” That was the response given by most Sophomores when asked about their school year. They were also happy there wqs more choice of classes and teachers. Many Sophomores felt they received respect and were relaxed and felt at home, more than the previous year. Some Sophomores were glad they still had two more years before graduation. They said it was a time to start setting goals: for grades, what they wanted to be, and sports, because they still had time to improve. It seemed like they were starting to grow-up; there were more responsibilities, less competition between each other and everyone realized there were only two more years to go before they would go their separate ways. 72 SOPHOMORES Ernest Barela David Battrick Gary Bishop Ted Blossum Brenda Bodenhamcr Steve Branch Randy Chance Mike Chilson Joe Connelly Doug Curl Lloyd Curtis Connie Cutright Carole DeLemos Jane Dennis Kurt Dunaway Barry East Howard Eskins Scan Fields Ronnie Foster Sue Foster Heidi Fuller Reuben Gonzales SOPHOMORKS 73 Steve Gonzales Michelle Grau Lana Green Julie Gwin Steve Holm Kim Howard Debbie Jackson Dean Johnston Thomas Linville Mike Lucore Denise Luttrell Salcna McDonald Darin McLean Teresa McLeod Tammy McMastcr Teresa McMillen Ramona Martinez Cindi Miner Wcndi Morishige Norman Mueller Don Normand J 74 SOPHOMORES Sue Prison perfects her art work, Denise Tracy Sherry Warwick Brien Weigand Bill Westbrook NOT PICTURED: Terry Burk Dale Folnsbee Kim Kleinman Mike Riekin Bob Wood Karen Parrow Laura Picper Vickie Pitt Sam Potter Susan Prison David Prochl Allen Rainbolt Kevin Ray Marty Ray Angie Remsen Guy Richardson Kathleen Rinks Ann Serby Nolan Stearns Pam Steele Shawn Stevens Dick Titus SOPHOMORES 75 Class Of ’80 The Junior Class lost their poverty-streak with their smash hit One Mud Night where they grossed $524.25. The Junior Class was led by President, Sheri Hiveley: Vice-President. Kathi Wilcoxen; Secretary, David Jackson; Treasurer. Janice Hopkins; and Student Council Representative, Georgette Vigil. The Junior Class had all-around talent in athletics, in music, and on the stage. In the past they have been a little lazy on money-making projects, but they made up for it on their play where several new personalities were discovered. Athletic juniors led the Varsity Football. Basketball and Track teams to many victories, and several musical juniors participated in solos and skits in pep assemblies, concerts and the talent show. Overall, the Junior Class is optomistic, but a little apprehensive of the future. Some dread was expressed about the possibility of the draft, getting into the job market, and the immediate future after graduation. Almost everyone was looking forward to their senior year. One young lady expressed it very well when she said that after 11 years of school, through the sports, grades, and various traumas, If we're going to do it, we have to do it next year.

New York JUNIORS 79 I’m Not Afraid Of Tomorrow, For I Have Seen Yesterday, And I Love Todav. From academics to athletics to the various other activities, the Class of 1979 successfully and proudly completed it’s Senior Year. Seniors got together to make their last year at Vernonia High School a memorable and fun one, for example by winning the homecoming hall decorations. From that they remember working elbow to elbow and just enjoying each others company. For the most part, the 50 person group was determined to be different. According to tradition VHS graduates have worn blue robes, except for the school’s 50th Anniversary, and for the Bicentennial year. But this years graduates did not want to wait for a special occasion to wear their class colors-burgandy and rose. They voted to have graduation and baccalaureate on the same evening, and the Senior Banquet separate from Prom night, also made a persistent attempt on a legal skip-day. The history shows that some of these things did not come about, but the ones that did were enjoyed through memories many times over.

After transfering from Nahalem High School, she taught for five years at VHS. During this time she taught music, Glee Club, Girl’s sextet, and English. After coming back from a leave of absence in 1960, she was the instructor of Journalism, Speech, and senior and sophomore English. Being a loyal senior fan like she is, she has been a senior class adviser every year that she has taught. The year is now 1979 and you will still see this teacher performing her usual duties at Vernonia High School. But next year there will be something lacking as you walk down the hall to room 1. You will soon realize a new face sitting behind an old desk, then you will remember that Mrs. Alvilda Hearing graduated with the class of 1979. ► SENIORS 85 Thompson Joins Mafia Fancily dressed Seniors arrived promptly at the Evangelical Church, May 24, for what would be the last informal gathering of the group: the Senior Banquet. Traditionally the Banquet has been held before the Prom, but a unanimous vote by the class changed that. After a dinner of chicken, baked potatoes, vegetables, rolls, and dessert, the program began. President Cyndy Rinks was Mistress of Ceremonies and introduced Venetia Daughtry and Helen Curtis to read the Class History. Twenty-five of the original members were still together after twelve years of school. Jeff McMaster and Jon Miller prepared the Class Wills and Jon presented them. Jeanne Uhls willed, “to Gregg Schaumbcr my ability to sit in one place for more than five minutes.” Marcie Keasey and Sandi Green were two of the many to prepare the Class Prophesy. The occasion was Mr. and Mrs. Hearing's 50th Anniversary, and members of the class were there. “Don Thompson is now bald, (LAUGH) and has been that way ever since his father found out about his pierced car, (ROAR OF LAUGHTER) is now a devoted member of the Mafia.” After the smile muscles were sore, Tracy Carroll presented a slide show'. A special award was given to Holli Kawa-shima for selling the most Sr. Candy Bars. Thanks was expressed to those who helped with programs and decorations as well as the mothers and servers for the great meal. Mr. Parrow closed the evening with his farewell address. There was time for one last, long look before the Senior Banquet of 1979 became another cherished memory. 9 5 I. Michele Fuller is head of the servers and helps Jeanine Fide.

Just think of all that we have done. We must all have a lot of thoughts that come to our minds as our High School days arc drawing to a close. Moments filled with friendships, happiness and fun. You hold in your hand the camel's hair brush of a painter of life. You stand before the vast white canvas of time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts. Through the power of your creative imagination you catch a vision ... you dream a dream. You visualize yourself as the person you want to be. You strive to make the ideal in your mind become reality on the canvas of time.
