 Spirit Week entertains students Comments about the week of Feb. 3 were numerous and mixed. It didn't turn out . I liked it . There were activities going on all the time and it's a break from normal routine. I thought it didn't have much involvement but it helped. . .We beat South Albany! The time was winter spirit week and the organizers tried hard to make it a week to remember. Joyce Henkle said, It was better than last year; the class officers participated more. A scoot race and making a banana split in a participant's mouth were two of the new ideas presented to the students for spirit point contests. They went over well, with many people attending the events. Elaine Endicott, senior; Claudia Dryden, junior; and Ricki Claire, sophomore, were the girls selected for Spirit Court. They were chosen because they participated in many activities, gave pep club extra help and had lots of spirit! 36 The spirited girls chosen for Spirit Court arc Left to Right; Elaine Endicott, Claudia Dryden and Ricki Clair.

Starting against very tough non-league opponents, the Bulldogs dropped their first six games. It was not a good beginning for Coach Duane Barrett's cagcrs but they showed a great improvement by v inning their first three Valley League contests and taking over first place in the league. Then the Bulldogs fell into another losing slump, losing 5 of 6 games. Play off chances seemed very slim for the team. Finally the Bulldog team began to jell. Led by Brad Clunes, Dennis Parsons, Jim Holman, and Brent Saylor, the Bulldogs put together a winning streak of six games and challenged Corvallis for first place. But, losses to Sprague and Corvallis put the Bulldogs into a playoff tournament to determine the second place team from the Valley League. In the two most crucial games of the season the Bulldogs swept past McNary and squeaked by Sprague to earn a playoff bid for the Bulldogs. Despite finishing the season of 12 wins and 12 losses the Bulldogs lost some heart-breakers to tough teams. Brad Clunes and Dennis Parsons wore both named to the 1st league Valley All-Star team. Another of the highlights at Bulldog games wore the Rowdy Boys who tried to psyche out opposing teams.
