Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1979 volume:

DEDICATION a The Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Nine yearbook staff has chosen to dedicate this year's edition of the Warrenton Warrior yearbook to Mr. Ernie Moon for his expert and conscientious service to Warrenton High School. He was one of the most caring and professional members of the teaching staff. He was an instructor in the Indifstrial Arts department. It was through his expert training of students that several were able to acquire State of Oregon certification in welding, the only program of this type in a high school in the entire state. When he leaves at the end of this year, he will be greatly missed for his professional abilities and above all caring personality. ADMINISTRATION HAS BUSY YEAR effect.

Snow came soon after Christmas to whiten the country Each year the faculty of Warrenton High School put side. together a special Christmas play day for the student body. The day started off as the students assembled in the auditorium for a movie. The movie was selected from a wide choice of popular movies. This years movie was ''The Fortune''. During the intermission the faculty gave free popcorn to all students. It was their gift to the students. After the movie, the students were allowed to attend a sock-hop or they could go to the library where there was a game area set up. The games ranged from scrabble to checkers. Lunch was served to the students who stayed. The students were let out of school by one o'clock in the afternoon, At this time Christmas vacation began for the students.

HOME ECONOMICS 17 The Home Ec department had a sewing contest this year for all interested students. Some students formed a sewing club. They did work like repairing sports uniforms for the athletic department. You might think they did not charge for their labor, but they did. At Christmas time the Foods I class had a dinner. They got to invite one person to share this dinner with them. Everyone participated in this event. This year the Home Ec department did not have a co-ed class. Instead they had a Clothing II and a Foods II. This year there was quite a few boys in these classes that worked as hard as the girls. These are some faces you would see in these classes. CO-ED P.E. Mr. Matilla and Mrs. Wallace took on a hardy group of Seniors and Juniors for Co-ed P.E. Some of the things the class did were Soccer, Speed-away, Volleyball, Basketball, Hockey, Gymnastics, Swimming, Tennis, Badminton and Softball. The class was formed for both sexes to participate together, this worked out in everything but Swimming as the girls didn't want to get their hair wet. 18 Top left shows Robert Vollmer doing a muscle-up on the rings.

This dinner, sponsored by the Masons, is to give recognition to students who have maintained a GPA of 3.5 or higher throughout the entire year. There was an excellent turnout with each student having his or her dinner paid for by the member of the Masons who chose to be their sponsor. The guest speaker was Mr. Roy Seeborg who gave an excellent speech after dinner was over. Then Worshipful Master Larry Cotter took over and presented the awards to the students. Finally the Benediction was given and the ceremony was over. Aside from the certificates presented to the students one other award was given. This was the Ed Mowick Outstanding Student Award given to Bill Guindon.

Eighteen high school students helped at the camp, as counselors. They all enjoyed themselves immensely, teaching various classes and teaching some sort of a recreation course as well. Classes offered to the kids were soil, erosion, map and compass, plants, animals, and survival. Recreations were photo, hiking, archery, riflery, arts, crafts, and fishing . 27 ''Almost Heaven'' was the theme for the Jr-Sr Prom. The dance was held at the Astoria Golf and Country Club. The Junior Class worked hard to get the preparations ready the night of May 15th. The tables were decorated with carnations. Fable entertained the couples with favorite songs. Crowning of the Prom Court also took place at the Country Club. It was a hard decision, but with the votes finally tallied, Robin Searle was crowned Queen with escourt Robert Killion; also Princesses Dianne Davis and escourt Greg Plummer, and Kay Hanna with esc ourt Marty Dawson.

Mark Carlson is taking over Bob Killion's role as Student Body President and Paul Rickles has relieved Greg Plummer from his duties as Vice President. The race for these two positions was close. It took a runoff election to get a majority vote for one of the contenders. The remaining Student Body Officers won in the first election with the required two-thirds majority vote. Annette Birkholz has taken over the job as Secretary, Joyce Jensen is our new Assistant Treasurer, Brock Rickles is now our Sargent at Arms, and Kim Williams is Parliamentarian. 34 : Kim Williams- Parlia Outgoing Student Body Officers are from left to right-Gregg Plummer, Ginny Kadera, Arlene Terhune, Karen Ostgard, Cindy Rowland. Mrs. Mosar- Student Body Advisor. Left to right-Ginny Kadera is the 79-80 Treasurer and next to her is Joyce Jensen her assistant. 35 President Bob Killion discusses an activity request with the other student council members. Mrs. Mosar missed the first six weeks of school with a broken leg and was replaced temporarily by Mr. Ridout as advisor. She was happy to get back and the students were happy to have her back. 36 Vice President Greg Plummer made sure the assemblies ran smoothly. The 1978-79 Student Council worked well with the administration and proved to be leaders of tomorrow. Student Body President Bob Killion was an open- minded person and was willing to chat with anyone if they had any new ideas to bring up. Even though he didn't accomplish all that he had set out to do, he did a lot for the prestige of the school. The student council borrowed a film for the students to view which was titled ''Champions.'' It showed everyone how to be a winner at whatever they set out to do. It was hoped that through the film, the students would be able to develop leadership attitudes. Through this then, quality student councils would be built for the future. —— co —_o cn Arlene Terhune worked closely with the president and kept efficient notes at the meetings. Karen Ostgard kept the books up to date. Robin served as a Senior Rep and Cindy was the Sergeant-at- Arms. Si Ginny Kadera helped Karen out to prepare for taking over as treasurer next year. Colleen gives a toast to a successful year. She made sure the meetings ran smoothly. YEARBOOK GETS OFF TO A SLOW START The annual staff worked under a lot of pressure this year. Due to the loss of several advisors and the shifting around of staff members, there were no pages done before Christmas vacation. Finally, Mr. Filori came through and took over our faltering annual staff. Und er his guidance, we picked up production and finally the project was completed. The editor was senior Roland Johnson. Other staff members included James Nichols, Greg Plummer, Betty Stutznegger, Tim Hurd, Margaret Stutznegger, Mary Stratton, Pam Turnbull, Teresa Hudson, and Karen Ostgard. A special thanks goes to Mr. Filori for helping us along and keeping us going. Right: Mr. Filori takes his job very seriously. He does have a tendency to slip over the edge at times though.

Although some classmates only stayed at W.H.S. briefly, we remember the ones who have left our group and welcome the new comers. From the beginning of September to the end of June, we carried out our roles as Sophomores. Students valued new friendships and trusts. We grew richer as a class, learned new work, and developed class and school spirit. We the class of Nineteen Eighty-One will treasure our Sophomore year because of all the experiences we shared. We will always remember being the ruling class in personality. We didn't let upper classmen ruin our days, we became independent in handling our problems. Mrs. York, as our Sophomore counselor helped us immensly. If we had any problems we could turn to her, always confident she would help us. Our Sophomore year went too fast for most of us. We had a successful Homecoming and the halls were really fun to decorate. We will look forward to our Junior year, not sorry at all the first two years are over: while we're getting older, we're getting better! 47 5 a | ) Holdiman, Alvin Hudson, Teresa Jones, Cheryl May, Deon _ Newton, Valerie Phillips, Ronda Hollaway, Russ Hurd, Kari Ladd, Corey Miller, Tracy Nordlund, Kelly Pyritz, Sandra Hudson, Jeanine Jensen, Joyce Maize, Russ Murphy, Patrick Parkinson, Don Rickels, Paul we fe Pa Rosenburg, Patricia Sims, Mark Spath, Riche i ‘ th, y Sutton, Darrell Warren, Holl Wi i poslong Opeee Sixberry, Tim Stratton, Mary Sutton, Ray White, Chris” Williane’ nice p, Brian Smotherman, Kelly Stutmegger, Walker, Brian Williams, Jeff Wilson, Jay argare’ 48 tter, Alisa Roberts, Andy i Roby, Sandy R EE geese ¥ ev S a po ce ° al 49 Andros, Scott Antilla, Linda Baumann, Bill Benson, Bill Bergerson, Jon Birkholz, Annette Breuer, John Broderick, Sue Bryan, Donna Burkhart, Jack Carlson, Mark Collier, Mike Culp, Jim Curnow, Brad Davis, Donna Edwards, Mike Gardner, Troy Gramson, Mitch Harrison, Mike 50 Hatcher, Jim Hendrickson, Melody Hobbs, Gene Horton, Cheri Hulon, Jama Hurd, Tim Jensen, Susan Johanson, David Kaaret, Beth Kadera, Ginny Kerr, Brian Knispel, Susan Koskela, Bill Leonard, Greg Lindsley, Linda Long, Mari MacLean, Scott Martinez, Hazel Huddleston, Wendi 51 Mason, Shelley McEwen, Cindy McEwen, Lindy Mendenhall, Cary McGrorty, Donna Mills, Jack Morrison, Geneva Mullins, Leanne Nichols, Ernie Nichols, Jon Oakley, Allyson Olson, Mark Pearl, Lorri Provost, Paul Rickels, Brock Routh, Bobby JUNIORS - ON THEIR WAY TO THE TOP 53 Salmi, Charles Schnebly, Carey Shepherd, Cynthia Sixberry, David Stidham, Enola Stonehocker, John Terhune, Jimmie Thompson, Hubert Thompson, Jeannine Townsend, Ron Veele, Maxine Weaver, Jeff White , Bill Wilhelm, James Wright, Jami JUNIORS ACTIONS THEIR MAIN BEAT 54 WO COTS OX Ze SL, STS Aen CO. - ZOO OS W.H.S.

They posted a perfect 8-0 record taking on all of the JV teams in league and many Cowapa league teams as well. Coach McBride, after teaching at Sheridan, returned to his job here this year. Coach Monuto volunteered to help out the team in his spare time and became a permanent assistant coach. Many of the JV plyers also filled in as varsity players when injuries occurred. Sophomore Kelly Nordlund filled in at quarterback when Marty Dawson was injured at Portland Christian. He went on to lead the Warriors to two victories in their last three games. The JV squad should be a valuable asset to the varsity team next year. Left: The JV's kick off in a home game against the Vernonia Loggers.

The 1978 girls volleyball team had their best year since the state championship of 1972 with a 14-1 record in regular season play. Under the leadership of Mrs. Wallace, they captured the district championship for the second straight year. From there they easily defeated North Clackamas Christian at home and went on to the quarterfinals at Madison High in Portland. Then they got past Chiloquin and advanced to the semi-finals at Portland State University. Colton proved to be too strong there and the Warriors defeated Gaston in consolation for a well-deserved third place. Warrenton took three of the six spots on the Northwest A League first team. Named were Dianne Davis, DeeAnn McCoy, and Cynthia Shepherd. Kay Hanna received an honorable mention, At the state tournament, DeeAnn McCoy and Dianne Davis were named to the all-state second team. Five seniors were lost from the team this year but enough people will be returning to make a fairly good team next year. DeeAnn has a big smile on her face as she accepts the trophy at the Colton tournament. This was one of many achievements. Serving was one of the Warriors many strong points throughout the season. 73 Dianne follows through on her spike.

This time with all veteran players they led the league in first place till the near end where they were dropped to second by losing to Portland Christian. Then by winning their last two games they came back to tie for first place with their Vernonia rival. This year there was a tournament at Concordia Lutheran College in Portland between the top four Northwest teams. Warrenton played Portland Christian to open playoff competition for the single state playoff seat. The Warriors tired in the fourth quarter to lose their seven point lead and the game. By losing the game they also lost their chance to go to Pendleton. Portland Christian went on to win the tournament. Next year will be another promising year for the Varsity Basketball Team. They will only lose two seniors, Marty Dawson and Bill Johnson. If they can fill their positions they should be able to take first in Northwest League play.

FRESHMEN BASKETBALLERS TURN OUR WINNERS The Freshmen Basketball TEam started their high school career with a winning season. Their coach, Jon Mattilla welcomes the victories but thinks at this stage it is more important just to get equal playing time for the individuals. The team ran more of a slow down offense to get more control over the game. Fastbreaking wasn't a big part of their plan, but when a chance for one arose, they made good use of it. Next year should be another good season for this team. Top left-Willy Nyberg seems to be asking where his back-up went. Top right- Alan Oakley is caught here jumping against his Logger rival.

The people who came here a lot of them were kids from different schools all around the area. The club has four teams for over here two of them are girls team and two of them were boys. It was good competition for the Lions who won two of three games from the Warriors. The group was picked up from the highschool about 2:30 in the afternoon and then came back for a pot luck that night. The next day they went on a field trip to visit Fort Clatsop. We played them that night and they left the next morning. It was fun for all people involved who learned some different slang and we did pick some of their slangs good enough to use them. In the upper left three Adults of the bunch pose for a picture. In the upper right one of the basketball players stands while Warriors watch the action. Center picture sees one taking the ball out of bounce after a score by the girls. Center right sees the closeness and smiling faces of the Australians. Bottom picture shows how camera shy they are. 98 Many questions were asked how they were going to stay here with the warriors. As soon as they got here we knew that we had the room for all of them and more. The players kept the players and our teachers kept the Adults. A few of the teachers and their guest went for a boat ride in the Columbia River. When they were at the guest's houses it did make a couple of problems like what they want to eat, and what things they like to do. It was a learning thing that we would do again.

First you must take a welding class from Mr. Moon for 1 1 2 to 2 years, depending upon how fast you can finish his progress charts. To become a certified welder there are two plates to pass; the vertical and overhead plates. Plates are 3 8'' X S'' X S'' and are beveled at 30 degrees. These plates are welded solid and then take a bend test of 180 degrees. Students send their plates to a testing lab, Northwest Testing in Portland to look for flaws and check for strength. There are two certifications available to the students. One is the mild steel and the other is the 7613 Low Hydrogem. Four of this years students passed both of the certifications and 7 students passed the mild steel.
