• • HAPPf ACAD EMICS 5 Band And Chorus Get Involved The Vernonia High School band and chorus, under the direction of Mr. Ward Nelson, had been very busy making many appearances throughout the year. These appearances included the Christmas Concert, Popcorn Concert, Spring Concert, and the Band Festival. As well as attending concerts, the band performed the National Anthem at the start of home games and other songs during the games and they also performed the fight song at pep assemblies. The chorus didn't attend pep assemblies or games but they attended a Chorus Festival on April 24. The band and chorus was also involved in many money-making activities. One of these was selling sausages and cheese for their uniforms. i 1. Mr. Nelson shows a lot of enthusiasm in his class. 2.

Band Chorus 7 Language Arts Speech Special Ed Foreign Language The Language Arts, Speech, and Special Education Department placed emphasis on four basic areas: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Mrs. Alvstad, Mr. Smith, Mr. Nelson, and Mrs. Sevig taught all courses of language arts. Karen Alvstad taught three periods of Freshmen English, and all levels of French; Jeff Smith taught three periods of Junior English, one period of Sophomore English, and a period of Basic English; Ward Nelson taught one period of Sophomore English; Kathleen Sevig, new to VHS, taught Senior English, and one period of Sophomore English. Mrs. Sevig also headed the Speech Department this year at VHS. The course covered everything from expository speeches to radio and television speeches, even giving a choral reading of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas for the annual Christmas Program. When asked about her class Mrs. Sevig said, I had some very talented students in speech who have the potential of i 1. Mrs. Grady gives a pop quiz to Greg Merriman and Scott Warren. 2. Mr. Smith relaxes in Sophomore English. 3. Mrs. Alvstad plays the part of a French pilot. 8 Language Speech Special Ed 1 becoming excellent public speakers. They really enjoyed doing The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and they did a great job! Special Education was headed by Linda Welch and Irene Grady. The course had a new aspect about it. They centered their studies around a book called OREGON SURVIVAL. It taught the students how to organize and cope with the every day face to face problems of the world. They also taught other areas in spelling, reading, and mathematics to help students improve their curriculum. Foreign Language was taught by Madam Alvstad. The course covered many various areas in the French culture; making skits, viewing French movies, visiting French restaurants, seeing a puppet show, and going to Eugene for a Foreign Language Field Day. When asked about her class, Madam Alvstad said, I enjoy seeing the students grow, not only in their ability to understand French, but also in their appreciation of another culture. They become very open minded more accepting of differences in people. C'est magnifique! 4 1. Debbie Jackson and Chris Holmes discuss their speeches quietly. 2. Mrs. Sevig assures the students, “Teaching is not as hard as it looks! 3. Mrs. Welch is concerned, and helpful to her students in the Special Ed Department. 4. During Speech class, David Proehl hears he has won the Junior Division Award for the Art-Open. 3 Language Speech Special Ed 9 P.F. and Business Offer New Ideas The personal finance classes were taught by Mr. Steve Calhoun. His job as a personal finance teacher included teaching his students how to budget food, clothing, homes, and other items wisely. There were also many activities performed in his class. One of the activities included a food day which was performed to discover the many differences between junk food and natural food. Each student brought a different kind of health food. After the food was eaten, the class discussed the differences between the two types of food, like the cost, and, of course, the taste. Mr. Calhoun hopes to make this an annual event. The classes offered in the VHS business department were Typing I and II, bookkeeping, and office practice. Mr. Ron Remsen, head of the business department, taught bookkeeping, office practice, two Typing I classes, and the Typing II class. Ms. Marsha Hagar taught the third Typing I class. In the office practice program more emphasis was put into the use of electronic calculators. This is the first year these machines have been constantly in use, and Mr. Remsen plans to keep it that way. 2 1. Tracy Wilkerson corrects another mistake on one of her many Typing II assignments. 2. Mr. Ron Remsen tells Sandy Cota that it's all in her imagination that the machine made the mistake. 3. Ann Serby, a bookkeeping student, is busy completing another assignment. 3 10 P.F. Business 1. The personal finance classes used newspapers to look for good deals on houses. 2. One of Mr. Steve Calhoun's usual tasks is handing out personal finance assignments. 3. Ms. Marsha Hager observes her first period Typing I class as they take a graded timing. 4. The Typing I classes consisted of learning how to type letters, reports, tables and also learning the many different parts of the typewriter. 4 Personal Finance Business 11 P.E., Health, And Social Studies Is Enjoyed By All Students All right! Too much football! Fun! These are a few comments we got from students in Mr. Crowston's and Mr. Nice's P.E. classes. Mr. Crowston taught boy's P.E. first and second period, whereas Mr. Nice had fifth through seventh. During these classes, they would play football, basketball, soccer, dodge ball, and other rough games where they would use their mighty strength, power, and unlimited muscles to massacre their opponent. Marsha Hager, head of the girl's P.E. department, added something new to her classes this year; Aerobic dancing. The purpose of this type of dancing was to strengthen the heart. The girls also engaged in games of volleyball, soccer, dodge ball, kickball, and scooter-board football. While Mrs. Hager wasn't teaching P.E., she taught girl's health fifth through seventh periods. This year she added the study of death and dying, known as Thanato-logy to her classes. This new type of study was said to help out a lot of girls in being able to deal with death. At the other end of the health department was Mr. Nice, who taught the boy's. They did a recreational study where each person gave an oral report about a recreational activity. The reports included the cost and safety. These reports were very informative and a lot of boys found many new interests. Gary Curtis taught U.S. History and government while Steve Calhoun taught World Geography. These classes consisted of learning about the government, regions of the world, energy, and cultural values. 3 m 4 12 P.E. Health Social St. 1.

Health Social St. 13 Art, Math, And Science Offer ManyChallenges The classes offered in the V.H.S. art department included beginning art, advanced art, and photography. They were taught by Mr. Doug Tesdal. The beginning art classes learned only the basics of art, starting with drawing and working up to clay sculptures. The advanced art class went further into the specific areas of art. This year's class dealt in drawing, silk screen, painting, stained glass, and wheel pottery. All the students from this class will be able to work on their own after graduation; they could also go deeper into the arts through college. Mr. Mike McKee taught the classes offered in the V.H.S. math department. The classes included Algebra I and II, geometry, junior and senior math the first semester, and advanced math the second semester. There was also an addition, Commodore-Pet computers. These computers were programmed to compute complex mathematical problems. They created a great challenge for everyone that used them. Mr. Brian Montgomery taught the classes offered in the V.H.S. science department. The classes included general science, chemistry, and physics. He also taught the general math classes. The general science classes focused mainly on researching the many different sources of energy, emphasizing the renewable sources. Some of the sources they explored were solar, geothermal, and wood fuel. The chemistry and physics class was offered during the second semester. The class mainly studied the basic concepts of science. One of the activities performed in the class was an energy audit for the school. This activity helped to discover how energy efficient the school was. The class also went on a field trip to the OSU Energy Fair. What is especially great about psychology class is that since psychology is the study of behavior, the students are the primary subjects. This year's psychology students performed many activities. Some of them included the blind walk, the bomb shelter experiment, a test for an individual to conform to group pressure, a field trip to a mental institution, and, of course, lots of reading about psychology. The students also listened to several guest speakers. The psychology class was taught by Mr. Jeff Smith. An annual event in Mr. Melvin Nice's biology class is a debate between the believers of the evolution theory and the believers of the creation theory. The debate is performed mainly to bring out new facts to support each side, and also to disprove each side. Neither side succeeds in winning, but each student learns new facts about both sides, no matter what side they were on. 1. Eric Wilcoxen shows general science teacher Mr. Brian Montgomery that his solubility experiment was successful. 2. The psychology class unsuccessfully trys to build Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. 14 Art Math Science 3 1. Mr. Mike McKee helps students program computers to solve mathematical problems. 2.

Forestry II is a two-hour session in which students cover the theory of the forest and basic forestry practice. It was taught by Mr. Ralph Keasey who also taught Forestry I and small engines. Mr. Mark Pettijohn taught the industrial arts classes which consisted of different projects during each nine weeks. The projects were drafting, woodworking, metals, and crafts. Home Ec I, Home Ec II, and Single Survival were taught by Ms. Clarice Schorzman. Some of the activities done in these classes were cooking, sewing, child development, and housing. 1. Mr. Keasey watches as Steve Crady works on his lawn mower project. 2. Mike Lucore and Darin McLean are trying to figure out what to do next. 3.

Shop And Home Ec 17 SPORTS 18 19 Varsity Football Never Stopped Trying When the year began, it was with some apprehension as some of the graduated seniors left some serious vacancies. Since tney had been very successful the last two years, most of the fans were looking for another championship season, and maybe a chance for that elusive blue trophy. The vacancies were to be filled by players with limited playing experience, and some mistakes were inevitable, Dut the team potential was still very good. They started with a lopsided win over the Scio team that didn't lose another game untif their final league game. They ended by losing to Elgin in the state playoff game. In the meantime they scored more than 300 points throughout the season. This was the most scored for any Vernonia team in the last 30 years, and possibly since 1924. Tim McLeod set a state scoring record witn 158 points, and rushed for over 1700 yards. The Loggers were league champions for the third straight year. In the last three years, the graduating seniors have won 20 out of 21 league games, and they have been in the playoffs three times and have not lost any game by more than seven points. Hopefully, time will deal fairly with the 1979 team. It was not loaded with superstars, but with many good athletes who never stopped trying to become cnampi-ons.

Football team could almost be called the freshmen team. They were young and small with twenty-three freshmen turning out, and only one or two with previous experience. But these young men went from a period of not knowing what to do, to realizing that football is a game of discipline and hard work. Mr. Forgey stated, If success is measured on a won-loss record, then they had a very poor season. If success is measured on how much was learned, then this past season was excellent. Everybody played and learned to hit and to be hit. These young men learned that pain is a part of football, and it must be lived with. By using what was learned, and with dedication and maturity, next year's J.V. Football team could easily reverse the record of this season and uphold the winning tradition of Vernonia High School. 2 2.

He felt they would be contenders for league, if not take it, and had aspirations of State. Well, we did it! says Coach Tesoal. We didn't go all the way into the State finals at the Dalles, but we did reach the State playoffs with a very impressive record. The girls that helped the team get as far as they did this year will be greatly missed. These girls have determination and a strong will to get whatever they go after. As these girls leave VHS, there is another group of determined athletes ready to take their places. Next year, as seen through Coach Tesdal's eyes, is very promising as he looks forward to working with the excellent caliber of girls that Vernonia produces. All-League honors were received by two Varsity girls this year: Sheri Hiveley, First Team; and Kathi Wilcoxen, Honorable Mention.

However, that one win was a great victory for both themselves and the J.V. and Varsity teams. You see that was the night Vernonia hosted Corbett. When the C Team claimed their victory over Corbett, it lead the way for both our other teams. They induced that added confidence that helped us do the job. The C Team was an inspiration to all of us.

C Team Volleyball 27 Cross Country Boasts Six Years At The Top Six years in a row! Those were the words that were heard around VHS after the boys captured the third place trophy at the state cross country meet in Eugene. For the past six years, the boys have been in the top three places at state, and only one other school in the state of Oregon can share that experience. Five boys completed the season, the minimum number required to make a team. With luck, and warming up good before running, there were no injuries to prevent the 5-man team from being number one at league, number one at district, and placing 3rd at state. The girls produced the largest team ever to run girls' cross country at Vernonia. Eight girls completed the season, and showed their strength by placing first in league and district competition, and fifth at the state meet. Coach Ron Remsen predicts the winning tradition will continue. Karl Garner, who placed 3rd in the state, will be greatly missed, but there will still be enough good runners to be competitive. The girls' team consisted of four juniors, one sophomore, and three freshmen. If the same girls compete next year, they should be in the top three at state. With the auality of runners that VHS is able to produce, there snould be good years in the future for boys and girls cross country. 2 1.

Cross Country 29 1979-80 Logger Record Varsity Basketball Has Rocky Season The rocky 1979-80 season finished with a rush, and restated Vernonia as the team to beat to qualify for State. The Loggers lost their hold on consecutive first place finishes, but found themselves in the final game just two points shy of a 5th State berth in nine years of A competition. The twice interrupted (weather) season was characterized by highs and lows of extremes in team play and individual consistency. The Northwest League was well balanced, and the Loggers found themselves struggling for a play-off berth with three games remaining. Then the team made it happen by winning those games. The Loggers upset Warrenton, league champions, the opening night of play-offs. In perhaps their best effort of the year, the Loggers destroyed a taller P.C. team the second night and set up a second showdown with the Warrenton Warriors. An extremely tight, well played defensive game resulted in a 56-54 loss. For the second year, the Loggers were denied a State berth in the final game.

The J.V. basketball team played better than what was anticipated prior to the season. The hard working boys, showed progress when they stepped onto the court. The most important thing was that if they were behind they played that much harder, even if there was only a few seconds left in the game. The players were very fortunate to have Gordon Crowston as a coach. He let everybody play so they could gain experience for the following year. If the players keep up their good work, they will be a big asset to the Varsity and J.V. basketball teams next year. 2 1.

Freshmen Show Steady Improvement This was a season of remarkable improvement for the freshman basketball team. This improvement was in both play and attitude. After a disastrous start, this team decided that it was tired of being stomped on. Though the final season record was five wins and twelve losses, this does not truly show how well the team played at the end of the season. Of those twelve losses, seven were by six points or less, and three were by two points. The record could very easily have been 12-5. But winning records are not everything. The most important aspect is that this team showed improvement everytime it stepped onto the court. There were sixteen players who showed good improvement when the final buzzer had blown. With steady improvement these boys will be an excellent addition to the basketball program next year and the years to come.

Freshman Basketball 35 Girl's Basketball Teams Succeed The Girl's Varsity Basketball team proved to the people of Vernonia that with a little practice they can succeed in anything. These talented girls came up from the bottom, took themselves all the way to the District Play-offs, and showed the other teams that they deserved their position. Teresa Sharar and Sheri Hiveley represented their team this year by making positions on the first and second teams for All League. As for the JV Team, the season started out somewhat slow, but the girls improved well over 100 % throughout the basketball season. Although the Varsity team will be loosing five of its senior girls, the records show that their positions will be easily filled by the upcoming girls. 1.

Girl's Basketball 37 Wrestling Has Success And Fun , We had a very successful season, but most of all we had a lot of fun. The above quote from Coach Terry Nimz describes this years wrestling team very well. They indeed had a very successful season, winning six dual meets out of seven, and four tournaments out of seven. Everyone went to District where they wrestled off in their weight class to see who qualified for State. Vernonia took 2nd place and five went on to State this year: Seniors Tim McLeod, Mike Harrison, James Dot-ter, Jim Smiley, and Freshman Dale Mueller.

The boys team placed first at league, first at district, sent seven to state, and accumulated 26 points at State, which was 5th place. Karl Garner became a State champion, and set a state record in the 800 meter race at 1:58.1. The 400 meter relay team consisting of Karl Garner, Tim McLeod, Chris Cota, and Dennis Larson, placed 2nd at State with a clocking of 44.7. The 1600 relay team consisting of Dennis Larson, Barry East, Tim McLeod, and Karl Garner placed 5th at State with 3:32.8. These three times were also school records. Dennis Larson also placed third in the 100 meter dash at the State track meet. Other boys participating at State were Brad Gardner-discus and Dean johnston-hurdles. Some injuries during the season prevented the girls competition. However, three girls were able to qualify from District to participate at State: Angie Remsen-high jump, Carole DeLemos-1500, and Lana Green-discus. On the coaching staff, Mike McKee handled the weight events and pole vault, Jeff Smith took hold of the distance people and hurdlers, while head coach Ron Remsen ran the sprinters, relay teams, and jumpers Many seniors will be missed next year that have done a terrific job during the past four years at VHS. This will surely be one to remember. Back row: Denise Tracy, Sheri Hiveley, Angie Remsen, Lana Green, April Durst, Kathi Rinks.

Mr. Greg Brown of the Vernonia Golf Course, took the place of Dave Siedleman who was last year's coach. On March 27, the Vernonia team hosted a home match with Scappoose. Tony Bartolomucci was in the number one scoring position. On March 31, Vernonia hosted Tillamook and Steve Grady was the medalist. Both matches were won by Vernonia. With only one senior on the team, Vernonia will still have all but one of the players next year, and they should have a pretty good team.

Competitive students united their support working vigorously against their rivals. Enthusiasm abounded with the exciting involvement in class competition, coronation, and the Homecoming football game. Spirit days began with Logger Day, followed by 50's Day, Halloween Day, and Black and White Day. Then came the traditional Blue and Gold Day. Thursday, Coronation night, King Greg Schaumberg and Queen Patty Whitlow were crowned to reign over the remaining days of Spirit Week. Seniors won skit competition with the return of the One Mad Night cast. In class spirit competition, the upperclassmen shared first place honors with the Juniors. The Seniors stole the sign competition with their theme Leave the Driving to US. While class competition proved tough, the school united support to stomp the Gaston Greyhounds. Psyched-up teammates, rowdy cheerleaders, and spectators with lung-power showed their Vernonia spirit as the Loggers conquered the Greyhounds 29-13.

It was sensuously decorated with a time tunnel accenting the Prom's theme. And delicious hor d'oeuvres were served. The group that everyone enjoyed dancing to was Straight Shot. The compliments the group received were well deserved. Near the closing of the Prom came the most exciting moment, the crowning of the Queen.

The dialogue in the play was centered around humor, but the theme dealt with adventure, and the process of making adventure happen, not waiting for it. Financially, the Drama Club barely broke even, but the purpose was not to make money. We didn't do the play to make money, said Heidi Fuller, but to entertain the people of Ver-nonia and have a fun time. The cast members and characters they played are as follows: Mrs. Dolly Levi .... Ambrose Kemper ------ Joe Scanlon ......... Gertrude ........... Cornelios Hackle .... Barnaby Tucker ..... Ermengarde.......... Malachi Stack ...... Mrs. Molloy ........ Horace Vandergelder .

The Freshman Squad did a terrific job of supporting their team. Also, they were the cheerleaders for the wrestling team 95% of the time. They sold Logger T-Shirts and caps during football games. The JV Squad started their season in September with JV football. They worked hard at being the very best cheerleaders for JV football and JV basketball. It was a winning season in JV basketball both for the team and the cheerleaders! They helped sell Logger T-Shirts and caps at Varsity football games also. The JV Squad was a great asset to the Varsity Cheerleaders in their basketball line-up. All the Varsity Cheerleaders went to cheerleading camp in July. This year they were unique in having a male, David Jackson, join the squad. They were all very apt in stunts and supported our football and basketball teams on to winning seasons. Nancy Eckland, the advisor, feels that they are a great bunch to work with. She also said, Their line-up this year for basketball has been the talk of the league! 2 J 1 3 1.

The Logger Rhythms opened their season during Homecoming performing to the song Superman. This routine was taught to five of the eight dance team members who attended a dance camp during the summer. The Dance Team performed at most home basketball games as half-time entertainment. Throughout the year they sponsored various money-making activities such as bake sales, the Christmas dance, several carnation sales, calendar sales, and wrote val-o-grams on Valentine's Day. The Logger Rhythms were led by Advisor Karen Alv-stad and Captain Carole DeLemos.

Letterman's Club Show Scholastic And Athletic Leadership Members of this years student council showed their governmental skills as they made changes in the school constitution. Months of research, debates, and drafting went into the changes, but, It was worth it! exclaimed Kathi Wilcoxen. The Letterman's Club made their money this year by selling mums to the VHS student body for the Homecoming occasion. As in years passed, this club produced the brightest extravaganza of the year, the Homecoming bonfire. As for the National Honor Society, they succeeded in providing great entertainment in the form of the Thanksgiving program. Eleven new members were tapped in and initiated during this year. 1.

The duties expected of a yearbook member were not exactly easy. Some of them included making layouts, writing captions, interviewing teachers, and cropping pictures. These duties may sound easy to other students, but to the yearbook members it was a lot of time, and, of course, work. The yearbook class also went on a field trip to a yearbook workshop. There they learned many new and important facts that helped them to complete the Memolog. Besides being educational, the trip was fun. The Timberline had a new look for the 1979-80 school year. For one thing, instead of having only two columns to work with, they changed the layout to three columns. They also added pictures, which helped the paper considerably. There was also another addition, this was the addition of an editorial section. This section was used to show the ideas and thoughts of the students of VHS. The paper also was run on a beat system. In this type of system, each reporter had a beat, or part of the school, to gatner news from. Then each page was assigned to a page editor. The page editor was responsible for making a dummy copy, and following it with a final copy. The Timberline staff also attended a journalism workshop. There they learned new techniques to use in making an excellent paper. Besides the students enjoying the paper, the people of the community also enjoyed it. There were letters sent in to show the towns appreciation. The first semester editor of the Timberline was David jackson. During the second semester there were two co-editors, Kathi Rinks, and Ann Serby. Mrs. Kathy Sevig, the Timberline's advisor, did a very good job of managing the class. 1.

The freshman class was a very enthusiastic class. They had many ideas for class activities, and held car washes to make money. They also did very well selling concessions during football and basketball games. The freshmen enjoy getting involved, and actively participated in the 1979-1980 Homecoming activities. Also, there were a large amount of freshmen who turned out for sports throughout the year. Mr. Calhoun, the class advisor, feels that the class' enthusiasm, generated in the right direction, will turn them from a good class into a great class. In his words, concerning the class of 1983, We've only just begun!

The sophomore class produced much talent in drama, writing, and athletics. They were alive and quick when putting these talents to use, as shown during homecoming week and the Prom. Sophomore advisor Jeff Smith says, This year was more of a triai-and-error process by the students, but they matured in that process. The sophomores of '82 are focusing more on their officer positions in the class and putting them to use in their class meetings. One super sophomore said, We may not be very active, but we've got alot of undeveloped talent. 1. Class Advisor Jeff Smith sets good examples for his students. 2.

Starting off with Homecoming, the Juniors decided that they were going to try really hard to walk away with all the winnings for the competition for Coronation night. They didn't do it, but they did tie with the Seniors. The Seniors won the sign and skit competition, and the Juniors won the hall decoration and spirit competition. This year was the first year for the Juniors to tie with the Seniors and for them to win these two competitions. The Juniors were very proud, for it showed that more Juniors were interested this year, and they worked hard to try to show it to everybody. When the school play came along, there were seven Juniors that participated out of a cast of 15, and one of them, David Proehl, had just finished participating in a musical in Forest Grove. At the Melodrama, the Juniors ran the General Store as well as helping in other areas. The Juniors owe a lot to their class advisor, Mark Pettijohn. He helped them with ideas and followed through with keeping them active. The class of '81 is looking forward to their Senior year in hopes that when they leave they will be considered an active class and a class to be proud of. c? M 2 1.

Something To Be Achieved The class of 1980 will be remembered for the class spirit, teamwork, and academic skills that they displayed throughout their four years at VHS. They demonstrated their talents in such events as Homecoming, speech competition, art shows, and “Music in May. They were led throughout the year by President-Mike Harrison, Vice-President-Kathi Wilcoxen, Secretary-Georgette Vigil, Treasurer-Rhonda Holm, Student Council Rep.-Teresa Sharar, and Sgt. at Arms-Tim McLeod. “Being a senior is a special time with a lot of changes, a lot of things to look forward to, and a lot of fond memories to look back on. Even though there were difficult times, I feel the class of '80 accomplished a great deal, and have a great deal to be proud of. I wish them all the greatest success in whatever they choose to do! stated class advisor, Kathy Sevig. 1.

After gathering in the Evangelical church, the senior class sat down to a festivity that will long be remembered. Following the invocation given by Sheri Hiveley, Master of Ceremonies Mike Harrison introduced the traditional readings of the class will, history, and prophecy. Many were surprised at what they would be doing ten years from now, and it showed in their red faces. Mr. Parrow gave a speech on Thinking Out Loud which the congregation responded well to. Then Mr. Proehl talked on how close he felt to the Seniors because they started going to school when he started as Superintendant, and as they graduate, he will be retiring. Yes, the class of 1980 will remember their Senior Banquet where they had a lot of fun, ate a lot of food, and did some strange things; like when Steve Osgood made a martian out of rolls, pickles, olives, and other such ingredients, which drew a lot of attention. The final closing was given by Mike Harrison and the class left with a night to remember in years to come. 3 1. Seniors munch-out on their chicken dinner. 2.

Let the generations to come know that you were here. We have learned from our forefathers. Now let our children learn from us. Leave for them our faith, our hopes, our dreams. We shared this short time together, But let it not go down unwritten. For today's joys, Shall become tomorrow's memories. And with them, the love that we once shared. Let not our presence go unnoticed. Let's make our mark, let's leave our sign, Let the generations to come know that we were here! WE DID MAKE IT HAPPEN! 112
