Band, Orchestra and Chorus
Members will always remem
ber their trip to Berkeley, Calif.,
for the University of California's
annual band day, as well as all
the half-time shows, contests, and
concerts that they participated
in. Also the orchestra and chorus
can be proud of their work at
special assemblies, Christmas
programs, concerts, and contests.
Flag Girls and Majorettes
The Flag Girls under the su
pervision of Miss Maureen Smith
and the direction of Pam Demo,
head flag girl, participated in
many of the pre-game or half
time performances at the home
football and basketball games.
Also they accompanied the band
to Berkeley.
The majorettes, Linda Prescott,
head majorette, Lyn Voris, Linda
Cannon, and Debbie Evans, led
the band out onto the field be
fore and at halftime at the foot
ball games as well as performing
several times during half-time at
the basketball games. The major
ettes performed at Berkeley also,
as well as the Fourth of July pa
rade, SOC's homecoming parade,
and the AHS homecoming parade.
When school started in the
fall, a new pep club, the Griz
zettes, attended all the games at
home and most of those away
during both the football and bas
ketball seasons. Also they sold
loyalty ribbons for the games
with such slogan as "Smear Sweet
Home" or "Pluck the Pelican."
Also, they worked with the rally
squad which consisted of Pat Lor
ton, queen; Linea Sanders, Bar
bara Siebenlist, Sandy Tison,
Judy Bryant, and Betty Schwie-
bert, to help promote school
spirit
Homecoming
Homecoming week was high
lighted with the crowning of
Barbara Jones as Homecoming
Queen with DeAnn Megger, Lyn
Voris, Pa mDemo, and Teresa
Krug as her court Among the
many homecoming activities
were the bonfire, pep rally, pep
day, the pep assembly, and the
Homecoming Parade. Confusion
seemed to be at a peak when the
senior clavs float had to be drawn
by a tractor when the horses
which were to pull it failed to
show up.
Among the victories which
AHS celebrated this year were
those in Debate. At Linfield Col
lege, AHS debaters won the
Grand Sweepstakes Cup. Three
first place debate trophies, six
individual first place cups, three
second places, and five thirds
were among the honors that
were brought home. Also the
debaters participated in the Pa
cific University debate, the North
Bend High School Invitational
debate, and the SOC debate
tournament.
Prom
"Evening in Paris" was the
theme of the 1965 Junior-Senior
Prom held in Britt Ballroom at
SOC on May 15. About 400 people
and students attended. Pat Lor
ton was crowned Queen, and she
was escorted by Craig Hooper.
Her court was composed of Bar
bara Jones, Pam Kaegi, Teresa
Krug, Tana Laird, Kim Nguyen,
Betty Schwiebert, and Lyn Voris.
Kim Nguyen, from Saigon,
South Viet Nam, is the 1964-65
AHS foreign student. Kim came

$25 from the Bar Association.
Boys of the Month
Each month an AHS boy was
chosen for his outstanding work
for the school. This program is
sponsored by the local Kiwanis

gram. If chosen as a finalist,
Carol will spend six or seven
weeks in a foreign country, liv
ing with a family this summer.
Other candidates were Amy
Helm, Ellen Craft, and Bob
Kaegi.
Turtle Races
AHS was the first school in
Oregon to organize a turtle race.
This was then imitated later by
the University of Oregon. The
AHS turtles vied for the title of
"The World's Fastest Turtle" on
a 30-foot track. The juniors'
turtle, "Merc," won over the
seniors' "Blue Eagle, the Jungle
Cookie," and the sophomore's
"Flash."
Something new was started this
year when the Grizzettes spon
sored a carrot week. Carrots
were sold before school and at
noon. With each carrot pur
chased, the buyer had a chance
to become carrot king or queen.
After a skit presented by the
Grizzettes, John Purves and Shir
ley Sabin were crowned king and
queen of Carrot Week at the pep
assembly.
Contests
Cliff Bradshaw won the local
and district Voice of Democracy
contest which was sponsored by
the VFW. Jon Roberson took sec
ond in the local contest, and Ruth
Niekodemus took third.
Taking first in the Elks Youth
Leadership Contest were Teresa

Jones and Jon Roberson placed
second ,and Maria Drew, Mike
Torresan, and Dave Barger took
third.
The students were selected an
the basis of their leadership in
civic, school, church, and com
munity activities
AHS 1964-65 most valuable
students were recently chosen.
and they are Teresa Krug and
Dave Lohman. In the Elks com
mittee they were selected be
cause of the information that they
submitted in a brochure contain
ing information about their
school activities, grade point aver
age, scholastic achievements, ref
erence letters, and newspaper
clippings concerning acknowledg
ments that were given them.
Both Teresa and Dave competed
in the district competition. Te
resa won a $75 scholarship to any
school of her choice in Oregon
Math Contest
Terry Barraclough took first in
the National Math Contest that
was held in March. Amy Helm
and Ernie Freeman tied for sec
ond place. The contest was taken
by sophomores, juniors, and sen
iors, and was based on first and
second year algebra and geom
etry. One odd thing about the
score for this year's team was
that it was exactly the same as
that submitted last year by the
iAHS team.
Bill Wiley and his wheelbarrow. Bill Hardy battle for the lead
in the wheelbarrow race against Jim Tyler and Don Mann.
boys chosen for March, April and
May were Jack Gruber, Cliff
Bradshaw and Dave Lohman.
Girls of the Term
The girl of the term is chosen
by the Business and Professional
Women's Club. Kandy Korthase
was first to get chosen for this
ihonor; following her were Teresa
Krug, Maria Drew, Linda Pres
cott, and Tana Laird. A tea was
held honoring these girls and all
other senior girls and their
mothers.
A-IUllll Yells
Just to add interest to this
article, the controversial topic,
the Allllll yell, must be men
tioned. This somewhat annoying
yell (at times) originated with
the senior class, and has spread
to the other schools in Southern
Oregon. It was used to help bol
ster the spirit of our basketball
team several times this year, and
it was substituted into every song
that anyone could think of on
the way back from our last game
with Klamath Falls. As the Allllll
yell begins to fade, cries of
Sa l-1-1-1-1 or S-a-m-mm-m can be
heard echoing in the halls of
AHS. Just remember KBOY's "Be
kind to everyone named Al Day."
This fad has caused more excess
spirit to be shown than any other
fad ever to hit AHS.
Representing AHS at the 1965
Girls' State will be Amy Helm
and Lyla Voth. This session is to
be held at Willamette University.
Cathy Christy was named as the
alternate in the case that one of
the other girls was unable to
attend. Last year Girls Staters
were Kandy Korthase, Linda
Prescott, and Teresa Krug, al
ternate.
Dances
The Sadie Hawkins dance was
sponsored by the junior class
Dresses were in the latest "Dog
patch" style, and prizes were
given to the most realistic or
humorous outfits. Tana Laird and
Jack Gruber won the Daisy Mae
and Li'l Abner prize.
Many hours were spent work
g on the Christmas Ball, yet
many students did not attend this
dance. "Santas Workshop was
the theme of this dance, and the
decorations were so outstanding,
according to Mr. Smith, that they
were allowed to stay up during
the week prior to the Christmas
vacation.
The Cupid's Ball was held at
AJHS cafeteria and the decora
tions were red, pink, and white.
Many students felt that this was
one of the best that was held
during the year, although the
crowd was not exceptionally
large.
Senioritis
Senioritis struck AHS durin
the fifth six weeks and the sen
iors began slacking off. Spring
fever struck the juniors, sopho
mores, and even the teachers. For
those students who were struck
with one of these diseases, they
would probably have preferred to
spend their time outdoors, but
this was impossible because they
were constantly watched by par
ents, teachers, and of all things,
other students.
Seniors Attend
Annual Fling
To reward the senior class for
its spirit, service, and scholarship
during the 19645 school year, a
one-half skip day was held on
May 20. The SSS committee,
headed by Kandy Korthase, or
ganized a picnic party at Jackson
Hot Springs. Seniors were ex
cused from classes at 11:45 a.m.
Competitions between period
modern problems classes . were
organized, such as sack races,
wheelbarrow races, hog calling,
three-legged race, egg throwing,
tug-o-war, and swimming (three
lengths for boys and one for
girls). Plans for the hula-hoop
contest were dropped because of
the shortage of hula-hoops.
Each period class had its song.
The best song contest had the
following results: first place
went to Mr. Lewis' fourth period
class; the song was dedicated to
Mr. Lewis as:
My mother told me
If I was goody
That I could be like
Our "Uncle Herbie."
But someone told her
That I was balder, so
Now I'm better than
"Uncle Herbie."
Snap-snap, snap-snap,
Snap-snap, snap-snap.
Three, six, nine,
Herbie drinks wine,
Snuff chews tobacco on the
old
Swat line. Suspenders broke
Snuffy got choked, and they
Both went to heaven in a
Little row boat.
Snap-snap, snap-snap.
The second and third places
went to Mr. Gray's sixth period
and fourth period class. Sixth
period class song was chewing
gum in Mr. Gray's class while
the sixth period class's song was
entitled "A Bunch of Losers."
Winner for the first place in
SSS day competition was Mr.
Gray's second period class, fol
lowed by his first period class
for second. Mr. Lewis' first
period class took third.
Mystery Students
Mystery Students in the last
issue were Candy McMonigal and
John Purves.
This issue's mystery girl has
dark brown hair worn in a surfer
style and brown eyes. Some of
her favorites include the song,
It's Not Unusual, XKE cars, In
timate perfume in the winter and
Straw Hat in the summer, the
colors yellow and lavender, and
the summer season. Her weak
nesses are collecting perfume
bottles and shoes.
The mystery boy likes the
song, Give Us Your Blessing,
Chevelles, Grand Prix after-shave
lotion, and the summer season.
He has sandy-colored hair and
blue eyes. His ring size is 10H
and sock size is 11. He is mainly
interested in girls. After gradua
tion he plans on becoming a pro
fessional beach bum.

Terry Clark scored on two errors.
walk and a steal.
Yreka fell to the hands of the
Bears, 10-7, in the last game of
the year. Rich Price pitched the
Bruins to the win while Ross
Coldwell had a hot day at the
plate.
Ross won the batting title for
Ashland, and Rick Waddell won
the pitching award as he had the
lowest earned run-average.
Track
Although the track team did
not win a meet, they placed third
the disrict meet and they
placed well in the I lay ward Re
lays as well as the Bend meet.
Beating Crater and Klamath
Falls, the Bears scored 68 points
and placed six men in the State
track meet. Tim Voth and Gary
Pennington are going one and two
in the javelin as they placed first
and second in the district meet.
Keith Munson ran the two mile
in a record-smashing 9:30.0 to
qualify for state, while Craig
Hooper took first in the mile and
will also go to Corvallis. Wayne
Calvary and Tex Willis qualified
for State in the high hurdles and
discus respectively. Many records
were broken this season (see the
track story on page 5 for further
information). On the basis of his
work in crass-country, track, and
basketball, Keith Munson re
ceived the most valuable athlete
in AHS award at the recent
awards assembly.
Tennis
With the outstanding record of
Cliff Bradshaw, the AHS tennis
team won three and lost six. The
team beat Eagle Point twice and
Crater once. Cliff boasted a nine
win and one loss record for the
season. Ken Myers of Medford
lust to Cliff the first meet, but
came back to beat Cliff in the
last one and he nudged Bradshaw
in an endurance battle for the
district championship. Both Cliff
and Ken went to state but lost
in the quarterfinals.
Other outstanding tennis play
ers were Jack Ragan who came
up from ninth man to fourth
man of the varsity team, and Ken
Clark, a sophomore who looked
very good all year. Terry Ragan,
Bob Lawrence, Dick Simpson and
Jerry Bevens saw much varsity
action.
Golf
The golf team didn't come up
with a win, though they practiced
long hours every night and came
up with probably the best girl
golfer in the valley, Dian Mur
phy. Others on the team were
Scott Weaver, Jon Roberson,
Toby Tobbianson, and Mike Daw
kins. Mr. Richard Copple, coach,
expects a much improved team
next year, although he will kxse
Dian, because of many under
classmen out for varsity golf this
year.
'65-'66 Teams Promising
Next year, the Grizzlies are
looking forward to a possible
state championship in football
and much improved teams in the
minor sports and baseball.
