MEMOLOG 1985-86 Vernonia High School 299 Bridge Street Vernonia, Oregon 97064 503-429-3521 We Are The World Juniors Strive For Success This year's Junior Class was an ambitious group of students. Their ideas and spirit showed during homecoming week where they took third place in sign, third in spirit, and third in hall decoration. The class of 1987 profited from their many fund raisers throughout the school year, which included: the junior-senior prom, woodcutting, miscellaneous dances, selling community calendars, junior slave day, and the annual powder puff football game. They pulled their class together with much enthusiasm and vigor, and worked well with their classmates and advisors. The Junior class was a definite asset to VHS, and they proved it with their many accomplishments and spectacular achievements. 6 Juniors Ted Bergerson Jeff Carter Bill Cavinee Angie Ceballos Ray Cota Dan Cutright Heidi Cutright Theresa Cutright Tim Dean Joy Hall Mike Hall Mike Hillhouse Greg Holce Eric Lashbough Furl McMillen Estella Morgan Joe Oviatt Diane Port Roberta Reynolds James Richards Christina Rustand Mike Shafer Robert Shafer Steve Skidmore Mike Skillin Alyssa Skinner Kelly Sparks David Waddell Angella Welch Levi Whiteman Shannen Wright Not Pictured: Alice Stringfield Tracy Yorba 1.

Juniors 7 Sophomores Are Up On Top The Sophomore class of 1988 is a bunch of students that work well together. The high-spirited group did quite well during Homecoming. They worked hard to achieve a first place in sign and spirit, and a second in overall competition during spirit week. A large number of the Sophomores participated in sports; many of them filling Varsity spots. They were also involved in other extra-curricular activities, such as the productions that the drama department put on. Because of their ability to work well together, the Sophomores did well with their fund raisers. These included various dances, and logger gram sales. The second half of the year. Chary Vandehey took Wendy Parrow's place as Student Representative, as Wendy moved. For the Sophomore group, with their ability to achieve, success is right around the corner. 1 1.

Communication Arts, World Geography, P.E., General Science, and a math course are the five courses that all freshmen are required to take. Also popular were Drama I, Typing, and computer classes. The class worked very well together, accomplishing such feats as capturing the first place honors in the hall decoration contest, while placing fourth all-around during Homecoming Week. Sports were also a very hot item with the class. Football, basketball, volleyball, and track were high on their list of favorites. The class held a few fundraisers, which included miscellaneous dances and woodcutting. They also participated very actively in the canned food drive for a local charity, Vernonia Cares. All of these aspects combined to make the 1985-86 school year a very exciting one for the Class of 1989. 1. A group of interested freshmen listen at one of the ever-famous class meetings. 2.

This year saw several changes within both the teaching and custodial staffs. Language teacher, Trish Engel, spent part of the year in Great Britain, temporarily replaced by Fulbright exchange teacher Mary Jones. Former English teacher, Colleen O'Neil, departed for Banks High School, to be replaced by Music teacher Ward Nelson. Nelson's Band and Chorus classes were taken over by newcomer Bonnie Schorzman, who hails from Lind, Washington. Longtime secretary Peggy Brunsman retired, with 1980 graduate Kathi Rumbolz joining the office staff. Also, Roy Behnke filled Bob Heister-man's former custodial position. As a group, the staff worked very well together, functioning well professionally also. Pictured to the right are Principal Randall Aultman and Vice-Principal Gordon Crowston.

Coach Terry Nimz said, The 1985 football season was one of the most interesting in my ten years of coaching at Vernonia High School. Several times during the season the defense played excellent football. Then in other games the offense would play exceptional ball, but we could never quite put the two parts of the game together at the same time. The 1985 football team may not have qualified for the state playoffs but they still gained the respect of most of their opponents as a hard nosed tough football team. Most valuable player this year was Joe Hult; the defensive leader of the team was Troy Ceballos; and the most improved was Rick Hood. This year there were two Northwest League All-star players from VHS. Tackle Joe Hult and punter Butch Shafer were outstanding players and proved to be assets to the team. 16 Varsity Football 1.

Football Rookies Enjoy Season The J.V. team overall played really well considering there were many inexperienced Freshmen on the team this year. Coach Steve Whiteman enjoyed coaching the team and commented, “The team had two surprising wins over teams who could not put a score on the board. The Freshmen and Sophomores are going to be a good nucleus for the future, and with so many Seniors leaving, I expect many of the J.V. players to assume Varsity roles. They have good team spirit, athletic ability, and most of all, they are loyal to one another. Most Valuable for the 85 season was presented to Sophomore Matt Parris while the New Comer Award went to George Rau. But to the students at VHS, they're all winners. 1 18 J.V. Football 1.

Football 19 Varsity Volleyball Spikes Up The Season This year the Varsity girls faced a tough league that hindered their hopes for a play-off spot. The team did however gain valuable members to bring their number up to nine members on the team. Coach Pettijohn was able to substitute the players more and rest them for maximum efficiency while playing. The three seniors on the team each gave something special to the rest. Jennifer Denckla served as the team's cocaptain for the season. Along with being captain of the team, Jodi DuVall was voted as most valuable player by her teammates and coaches at the end of the season. Jill Price held the team record for the most spikes killed on the team. When asked about the team Jill remarked, This year we have the best team with the ability to get along and play comfortably together. All three seniors will be missed by their teammates next year. All the girls on the team can be proud of their efforts this season. They really showed V.H.S. what volleyball and other team sports are all about. 20 Varsity Volleyball . 6 8 1.

Volleyball Gains Experience This year the volleyball program at V.H.S. was complemented by a very well rounded J.V. team. These girls worked very hard all season to accomplish many things. First on their agenda was to get down the basic skills of volleyball. The team had several Freshmen and first time players that had to be taught the plays and rules of high school volleyball. This turned out to be quite a chore for Coach Larson since grade school sports don't stress the bump-set-spike pattern that is prevalent in the high school plays. Then they had to think about winning games! These girls proved to be a very strong and competitive team. Next year, many of the girls will be on the Varsity squad and then they will be able to show the skills that they learned this season. Coach Larson was really impressed by their eagerness to learn and their willingness to execute their talents on the court. 1 3 22 J.V. Volleyball 4 I t 7 1. Mayumi bumps the ball over for a point. 2.

Volleyball 23 Cross Country “Runners Up” This year the fourth second place cross country trophy was added to the trophy case of the Loggers. The team was seeking for the state title but had key members with slower than normal races that dampened the title hope. We definitely had the talent to be the best in the state said Head Coach Melvin Nice. Bob Gallagher and Jared Nice both obtained their goals by both placing in the top ten. Gallagher was the first Logger in with a fifth place finish. Jared was next to cross the line with an eighth place showing. Junior Greg Holce and Seniors Derek Bellingham and Jason Nice all placed in the top forty. Junior Bill Ca-vinee and Freshman Wes Vaughn came in sixty-eighth and sixty-ninth. Senior Juli Hammerberg represented the girls team with a personal best time, and one of the best finishes for a Ver-nonia girl since the program originated. The other team member, Jackie Price, was unable to qualify for state as she placed ninth at district. Jared Nice and Juli Hammerberg were awarded the most valuable title, with Greg Holce and Jackie Price receiving the most academic award. Senior Derek Bellingham was given the most improved recognition, and Senior Jason Nice was given a special three year varsity certificate. 2 5 24 Cross Country 6 8 1.

Cross Country 25 Homecoming 85 t Seniors Come Out On Top Spirit week for the 1985 Homecoming started off with a bang with everyone roaming the halls Monday, on inside-out day. The rest of the week followed with Tuesday being nerd and bum day, Wednesday Hawaiian, Thursday dress-up, and Friday the traditional blue and gold day. After the disappointment of the bonfire being burned down midweek, the high-spirited student body pulled together to rebuild the pile of wood. On Thursday night, the activities started off with the introduction of the court. Princesses Deanna Cahill, Jodi DuVall, and Jennifer Denckla. As the tension rose, waiting for the crowning of the queen, the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors showed off their acting talent before the Seniors performed the winning skit. The highlight of the night came with the crowning of Queen Jennifer Denckla. The Friday night football game dampened everyone's spirits somewhat, with a disappointing loss to Knappa. In class competition, the Seniors took first place, with the Sophomores second. Juniors third, and Freshmen a close fourth. 26 Homecoming 1. 1985 Homecoming court: Princess Deanna Cahill, Princess Jodi Du-Vall, and Princess Jennifer Denckla. 2.

The year started out real well. The Loggers started the season with a 4-2 league record and looked as though the playoffs were waiting for them. But as the semester came to an end, so did the Loggers hopes. Many of the key players had to be cut due to scholastic problems. The best game of the year was when the Loggers defeated the Corbett Cardinals. Corbett, the defending state runners' up, trailed the very hot shooting Loggers by eight to ten points the entire game, but were able to mount a comeback and make a close game of it. But the Cardinals came up short as the Loggers prevailed by two points. Starters Jason Nice, Jared Nice, Joe Searles, and Avery Shirley will all be missed next year, but some rough young talent could emerge to surprise some people. 30 V. Basketball 7 1.

C-Team Up And Coming This year VHS had a lot of 'up and coming players. The teams showed growth and by the end of the season they were tough competitors. They also showed everyone that the VHS teams have a lot of spirit and keep on fighting against all odds. The C-team was coached by Mr. Bill Worley. The players kept improving and the experience of playing as a team will help them in their future years of basketball. C-team member Steve Morrison said, We learned a lot of the fundamentals of basketball. Also, since it wasn't as serious, we got to have more fun than the other teams. Our coach was good and worked well with us. Tim Dean commented, We did a lot of running! We could have worked on learning some different plays. We did learn more about working together and overall we enjoyed the season. Mr. Gordon Crowston, who has coached J.V. basketball here in the past, once again fought to make a success of the team. The J.V.'s were very young and the least experienced team we have had since I've been at V.H.S. The loss of the players at semester cost us our leading scorer. Although our record was not good the boys played some good, very tough JV teams so they were showing improvement. My hope that each of them will spend much time shooting and playing one on one and two on two games to improve their individual skills. 1 wish them all well in the future. Crow. 32 J.V. C-Team 1.

C-Team 33 Lady Loggers Heading To The Top This year, the Lady Loggers had a tough season, but through it all, they represented the dedication needed to pull through as a team. After a disappointing beginning, the girls pulled together to improve their play. Coach Whiteman says, The girls' man-to-man defense and good offensive fundamentals made us a very good young team. Our J.V. team was excellent this year, and will be better next year, due to the fact that it will be essentially the same, with seven or eight good eighth graders moving in to compete for playing time. Whiteman has the idea that to be better, the team has to get away from the old attitude of just practicing during the season, and instead, work hard nearly year round. The main thing, says Whiteman, is that winning is no longer a possibility, but a reality. We now have credibility with the other teams we play. Our best is yet to come. 34 Girls Basketball 1.

Girls Basketball 35 Wrestling An Enthusiastic Year Ten wrestlers participated in this years season. They worked hard while attending many matches to prepare for district. Two of the wrestlers, Joe Hult and Troy Ceballos, successfully became the district champions in their respective weight divisions. The team had their own cheerleaders, Wendy Wilson, Heidi Cutright and Diane Port. These girls were enthusiastic all season. They helped to put on a pep assembly which helped to bring lots of spirit and noise to the entire student body. The cheerleaders were always encouraging the wrestlers with signs and cheers during their matches. The coaches were proud of their teams' accomplishments throughout the season. Mr. Ron Svenson, head coach, and Mr. Steve Calhoun, assistant coach, taught the guys new wrestling techniques to pin their opponents. At the end of the season, Mr. Calhoun announced that he would not be returning next year as assistant coach. The entire wrestling program will miss him next year. The five seniors leaving after this year, Troy Ceballos, Joe Hult, Thad Bodenhamer, Kevin Atkinson, and Gene Crow-ston, will also be missed. They made up the backbone of the team. They each gave their own special talents to make the team function as a complete unit. 36 Wrestling 6 1. Rick Hood knows that he can't be beat! 2.

They worked and participated with much effort in fund raisers and in supporting their teams. Nancy Dailey and Kathi Rumbolz were the advisors this year, with Kathi taking over all squads beginning next year. There were four squads of rally this year: wrestling, football, JV basketball, and varsity basketball. The football cheerleaders started out the season with a lot of spirit and pep at their games and assemblies. They worked hard to keep their guys alive with spirit. The varsity basketball cheerleaders did a very good job of involving the crowd at their games. They went to a cheerleading competition in Springfield in the spring and competed with squads from all over the state. The JV squad did a good job with only three girls. They strove to raise the spirits of their team. The wrestling squad also had only three girls. They were very active and kept their guys pumped up. They were continuously making signs tor the wrestling room and there were always peppy signs on the lockers. The girls have been attending various cheerleading camps, and plan to attend more this summer. They hope to learn new moves, get new ideas for skits and pep assemblies, and learn ways to bring back the spirit VHS has always known. 38 Cheerleaders 1.

Business Learn About A New World Personal Finance was taught by Mr. Steve Calhoun. He stayed calm throughout taxes, and managed to get even the most stubborn students to understand them. Some of the varied subjects studied were consumers' rights, budgeting, and insurance. The students also had to complete a paper by using the Career Information System (CIS). It is a computerized system in the library for obtaining information from various schools in the United States. Mr. Ron Remsen taught all the business classes. Business Lab consisted of many different subjects, such as, office procedures, marketing, business law, business principles and management, and amateur radio. This year we started a new computer applications course. It included word processing, spread sheets, data base management, and other computer programs. Interest will probably increase over the next few years because of more computer usage. said Mr. Remsen. Typing I and Accounting were also offered as regular classes. 42 P.F. Business 6 1.

Art class is offered in the first of the year as a semester course. In this class, the students try to learn and develop their skills in the various areas of clay working, creative writing, drawing, and watercoloring. They also worked in inking, oil painting, and stained glass work. One of the highlights of the year was when the Art class was able to take a trip to the coast. Here the students drew a picture of the beach setting. Many of these products were shown in the trophy case near the office. Photography class is also a semester course offered the second half of the school year. In this class, Tesdal teaches the students the proper camera use and film development. This is a skill that comes in very handy. 44 Art Photo 6 1. Tracy Yorba takes a glance off at an unknown classmate while in the process of working on her photo project. 2.

Keep Learning The students that participated in Occupational Versatility and Home Economics learned how to make many different projects. Some of the O.V. students made cedar chests, chairs, and tables. Other projects were a corner desk, a dresser, a computer table (made for one of the classrooms), and some metal weight benches. The O.V. class was taught by Mr. Terry Nimz and Mr. Mark Pettijohn. Mr. Pettijohn said, There was more metal working this year even though wood was still the most popular. Also, the projects that the students chose to make were complicated and a lot more advanced then they have been in the past. Mrs. Billie Wallace taught the Home Economics class. They learned how to make pizza, donuts, coffee cake, and many other foods. They also made a variety of things while sewing. Among all the groups there had to be goofups. One example of this was the wafer-thin coffee cake. The groups with the best mistakes received blooper awards and had their masterpieces shown to the school. 2 46 O.V. Home Ec. 8 1.

Mr. Whiteman and Mrs. Wallace taught Math, while Mr. Nice, Mr. Nichols, and Mr. Whiteman shared the responsibility of teaching Science. Mr. Nice's Biology classes were taken mostly by Sophomores. The classes studied anatomy and plant life. The Biology II Class also studied genetics. Mr. Nichols taught General Science, required for most Freshmen. The class went on a couple of field trips, including one to the zoo. Nichols also taught Computer Literacy, taken by students of all grades. Mr. Whiteman instructed Chemistry, which was taken mostly by upperclassmen. They were kept busy doing a number of labs, including making aspirin. Mrs. Billie Wallace taught General and Consumer Math. Many Freshmen took Algebra I, which was instructed by Mr. Whiteman, while Sophomores and Juniors took Algebra II. Only a handful of students took Geometry, but those who did persevered it. Overall, the year went well, with most students completing their courses successfully. 2 48 Math Science 7 1. Noelle Aultman is amazed at the results of her testing. 2.

These classes were taught by an exceptional group of teachers. Ms. Engel as well as Mrs. King taught Communication Arts. Engel also taught French I with some students taking higher French classes. Mr. Nelson stepped down from his musical position taking on American Lit., Survey of Lit., and Comp. I. Mrs. Sevig taught Honors English, English Lit., and Comp. II. In LRC, Linda Grey and Mrs. Grady did an excellent job of instructing the fundamentals of reading, language arts, and mathematics to students in need of work in these areas. In the Social Studies area, Mr. Svenson instructed such classes as Modern Problems, U.S. History, and Government, while Mr. Calhoun had Global Studies and Personal Finance. World History was also offered second and third period by Mr. Crowston. All of these classes are very important for the education of each person involved and deserve our highest praise. 2 SO Social Studies Language 8 1.

She became very involved with both classes and worked to perform many concerts during the year. The first event for the Band was the Band Festival held at Columbia Christian. Brady Remsen received the 1st chair 2nd Trumpet award. The festival only lasted half a day due to snow. The Christmas concert was next on the agenda. A flute trio was performed that consisted of Mayumi Endoh, Tina Dean, and Jo Frey. Also a trumpet quartet was played that consisted of Roger Skidmore, Brady Remsen, Greg Holce, and Jason Nice. The Spring concert was held on April 1st. A flute quartet was played by Tina Dean, Jo Frey, Mayumi Endoh, and Jill Budge. A saxophone special was performed by Mrs. Shorzman herself. There were a variety of pieces performed at this concert. There were certain classics to a John Phillip Sousa March to musicals. Another concert was held in May that consisted of all VHS and WGS bands. The band also played at graduation. The Chorus stayed active by participating at a student of the month assembly. They sang at the Christmas concert. There were two duets that were performed. One by Joe Searles and Deanna Cahill and the other by Maggie Powers and Anne Cahill. The spring concert also had a duet and some solos on the program. The duet was sang by Maggie Powers and Anne Cahill and the solos were performed by Joe Searles, Gary LaChance, Wendy Wilson, and Teresa Cutright. The May concert had more solos and duets also. April 17 was the All District Choir Festival at Catlin Gable. I have enjoyed working with the Band and Chorus this year. Things are in the works to start a Jazz Band next year and encourage more of VHS fine instrumentalists to participate in solo ensemble contests said Schorzman. 1 52 Band Chorus 7 1.

Both groups were comprised of dedicated individuals who worked well together within their respective groups. The staff of the Timberline published 10 copies of the paper, all of them filled with newsworthy facts and interesting feature articles. The staff could often be seen intently working on the paper, doing such tasks as pasting up the format of each issue, interviewing students and teachers for polls, and rushing to beat their deadlines. Bobbie Heisterman was this year's editor, and Ward Nelson served as advisor. The regular contributing staff was comprised of Steve Acock, Tony Dettmers, Ron Grant, Jody Skillin and Tracy Vorba. Special reporters included Jared Nice, Pat Schmidlin, and Bob Zavales. The Memolog staff worked long and hard throughout the year to publish a quality annual. They managed to meet most of their deadlines, while striving to complete their assigned layout work. They could very often be seen trying to capture just the right moment at sporting events and other activities. Destanee McClaflin served as editor for the year, with Ron Remsen as advisor. This year's yearbook staff included: Julie Budge, Tony Dettmers, Stacy McDonald, Jared Nice, Roberta Reynolds, Chary Vandehey, and Angella Welch. 54 Yearbook Journalism :r 6 1.

Yearbook Journalism 55 Drama “All The World’s A Stage!” This year's Drama department had a very busy and profitable year, one that will be remembered for a very long time. Some of their major activities included: presenting a Fall play and Spring musical, and attending the 51st season of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, where they saw The Tempest, The Threepenny Opera, On The Verge, and An Enemy of the People. On November 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, the Drama II class presented The Diary of Anne Frank, a touching dramatization of the tensions felt by the Jewish occupants of a cramped upper floor space above a warehouse in Amsterdam, Holland during the World War II years. The play was directed by Drama instructor Kathy Sevig, and Maggie Powers played the title role. Other cast members were: Julie Budge, Tony Dettmers, Destanee McClaflin, Rob Jaques, Deanna Cahill, Joe Searles, Levi Whiteman, Wendy Wilson, and Juli Hammerberg. The highlight of the dramatic year came on May 16th, 17th, and 23rd when the entire school came together to perform Fiddler on the Roof, this year's Spring musical production, which was directed by guest director Sandy Shaner. Fiddler is a play about the traditions the Jews in a small Russian village practice. These ancient traditions are gradually making way to more modern views. The lead roles in the musical were Tevye, played by Tony Dettmers, and Golde, played by Julie Budge. Other major characters were played by Jo Frey, Maggie Powers, Deanna Cahill, Wendy Wilson, Mike Califf, Rob Jaques, Steve Jones, Ed Dotter, and Mike Hall. The ability for these and many other talented people to work together in creating the world of Anatevka made for a very successful and vibrant presentation. s Y •l XUlSh I -m.____ ■ V' • S 56 Drama 1.

Drama 57 Health PE Does A Body Good This year the Health and PE classes took a different look from years past. The new look of Health started from the class taking place in one of the portables constructed for this year. Mrs. Marsha King once again taught the needed things to know in the area of Health. Mrs. King taught the students many different areas of Health and First Aide. The class also did community events such as the blood drive. Mrs. King also taught a course of Aerobics. In this class students do different Aerobic exercises, either by video or under Kings' guidance. Many PE classes were offered this year. Weight Lifting, Aerobics, Competitive Sports, and General Physical Education were all of the PE classes offered to the students. Mr. Melvin Nice taught Weight Lifting as well as General PE. In weightlifting, the students are graded on how much improvement is made in the different areas of the universal gym. This class is a nice relaxing change from the classroom. In General PE, which consists of students in the Freshman and Sophomore classes test their skills in many of the different games, such as Dodgeball, Flashball, or Melball. Mr. Gordon Crowston taught the Competitive Sports class. In this class, students are mainly introduced to a new kind of basketball called “Crowball . This class is comprised of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, with the Seniors being the nucleus of the class. 2 58 Health P.E. 1.

Clubs 61 SPRING T!r3cJ It 's A Small World The 1986 track season was not remembered for its members. Nine boys and two girls completed the season. Two of the boys and one of the girls qualified for the state track meet, held in Springfield. I've always prefered quality, rather than just quantity in track, said coach Ron Remsen. We had some good strong athletes this year. Joe Hult qualified for state with a 45' 10 put in the shot; Butch Shafer heaved the javelin 174' 11 and sophomore Jackie Price ran the 800' in 2.33 at district to earn the privi-ledge of running at state. Four seniors participated this year — three of them being four-year lettermen in track. Joe Hult, Bob Gallagher, and Jared Nice excelled in track throughout high school, while Julie Hammerberg participated during her freshmen and senior years. Even though VHS is losing some strong athletes, there are a lot of young people who can certainly move in to fill the many running and field events available in the program. 64 Track 1.

Track 65 Golf A Swing In The Right Direction The 1986 Golf season found the Loggers with a young and inexperienced team. One Senior, one Junior, three Sophomores and one Freshman made up the Varsity squad. There were also seven brand new beginning golfers, four of which were girls, all showing promise for the next season. The season did not show any match wins, mostly due to the lack of depth of experience on the team. The Vernonia Loggers are the only A school in their golf district. All the other schools are AA. The team does show a lot of talent for the future. Sophomore Bob Zavalas led the team as medalist all season. 66 Golf 1. Mike Shafer practices his drives down the fairway. 2.

They have been involved in many activities from the start of the year. There were approximately 45 seniors in the class. The year started off with Homecoming as Jennifer Denckla was crowned queen. In competition, the class placed 2nd in hall, 2nd in sign, 1st in skit, and in overall competition the class placed 1st. One of the major highlights of the year for seniors was the Disneyland trip. Lots of fund raisers were carried out for it. Wood cutting was the biggest money maker. The class had a table at the Christmas bazaar, and raffle tickets were sold for a beef and a handmade quilt. The talent show was sponsored by the senior class, and there was also a spaghetti feed in March. The senior class gift was a large Welcome Mat with the Logger Mascot on it that will be placed by the front door. The class of 1986 will be fondly remembered as they leave Vernonia High School and go on to the adult world. 1. Jill Price is caught with her mouth open as usual. 2.
