For shoppers

Star Wars hot item

by Stacie Smith Star Wars gadgets, video games and ski equipment are at the top of lists of things to buy for Christmas presents.

"Star Wars things of any kind are selling like mad, and also a game called Blip. They both are our. big sellers," stated Sherri Shird, employee at King Norman Kingdom of Toys in Washington Square. Two other new games are selling strong, Electric Battleship, and Computer Football.

For the sports minded people the popular items are warm-ups tennis shoes, and baseball caps with NFL football teams or basketball teams on it, according to salesman Ron Scharnberg of Oregon Athletic.

J .C. Penneys merchandising manager Lar r y Wilson said, "This is the best Christmas Penneys has ever had. We are selling all kinds of clothing and lots of ski equipment. People are buying all

kinds of small electric appliances such as Fry Baby's.

TV games again this year are selling big for Fred Meyers, along with all the stereo and television equipment. Fred Meyer assistant manager Dennis Gallagher also said that all departments' sales far exceeded last year's Christmas season.

All the stores are up in sales from last year. Many stores are· r unning out of the items such as these that are popular. A Fred Meyer employee said, "People are going all out for this Christmas season." The estimate on how much people spend was approximately fifty to one hundred dollars per person at least for Christmas presents.

Store personnel advise people to get their shopping done early so they. don't get the leftovers, and are happy with what they get.

HOLIDAY RUSH BEGINS - Scenes like the above are being repeated throughout Portland as Christmas shoppers look for that "Just right" gift.

Le.vy failures responsible for extra week added to vacation

by Julie Belmore Making winter vacation longer this year is the result of last year's levy failures. Every student in the Portland School District will have an extra five days in which to celebrate the holidays this year.

Mrs. Ellen Law, vice principal, explains, "There ·are two reasons for this change: the school board decided . that this is one way to make up for the lack of funds as it is the coldest, darkest time of year. Schools will save on fuel and electricity during this time. And, salaries will not be paid for these five days."

It is mandatory for all school

employees to take at least a five-day cut. Teachers and other employees with a '190-day .c ontract will be given this five-day pay cut.

Administrators and other staff members with a 225-day contract are all subject to a six-day cut.

Those people such as area and central office personnel who work year-round are given a seven-day cut.

Law emphasized that the number of school days is "still within the state limit." School will end at the same time this year and will not be lengthened because of the longer vacation.

The three-week winter vacation was recommended by Superintendent Robert Blanchard with

the approval of his staff and was passed by the school board. The plan seemed to be the fairest ·way to compensate for the loss of money which was the result of the unpassed levies last year. Law relates that the alternative would be to "lay off people throughout the district." The extended vacation plan is fair in the respect that every teacher and administrator shares the· loss evenly, without putting anyone out of a job. $6,917,250.00 had to be cut from the budget and shortening the All the foreign languages

Russian Christmas songs are elaborate hymns.

The French students plan to sing "C'est Minuit OU' est Arrivee" (It Came Upon a Midnight Clear), as one of their selections, and the German classes will sing "O Tannenbaum."

Russian teacher Alan Ellis commented that this is the first year they have done this, but in the past they "just walked around from door to door."

Also, to celebrate Christmas, the Spanish and Russian clubs are both having Christmas par ties.

The Russian club party will be a potluck of traditional Russian foods, while beside the traditional pinata the Spanish club party will involve the "American" activity, foosball.

For creative people ...

Personalized tree decor uses imagination

by Linda Flynn "O Christmas Tree, 0 Christmas tree, your' branches green delight us." Does this song conjure up the painful picture of a beautiful green fir tree pitifully straining under the tons of lights, tinsel, and the disintegrating ornaments that you made at school in the third grade?

If this is the case with you, don't worry, there is still hope! Today there are many new ways of decking out the Christmas tree.

1f you are addicted to sweets you can decorate the tree with candy and gum. This may seem to be an unattractive idea but it's really very simple to beautify the tree with candy. How? Take five sticks of gum and make them into a fan, tie marshmallows on the branches with a red licorice bow, attach mini candy bars. When displaying the gum fans, marshmallows, and candy bars, remember to leave the shiny wrappers on.

If you, want the most original tree in town, then the Pasta tree is for you. A pasta tree takes a lot of work to make it look just right, but when it's finished, you will have the most unique tree in Portland.

All the ingredients for a pasta tree are in your neighborhood stores noodle section. You can create a pasta tree with ziti garlands, lasagne banners, styrofoam balls covered with pastina, even manicotti icicles.

If your hobby happens to be cooking or sewing, you can make beautifully decorative ornaments.

For those who prefer to sew, there are patterns of angels, santas, even reindeer waiting to be sewn together.

The bands and choirs are doing their part to get everyone in the Christmas spirit by performing in different places throughout Portland. The Galleria, Lloyd Center and Shriners Hospital are just a few places where the choir has performed during the Christmas ~eason.

Unlike every other year, the choir will not be singing in the main hall on the last day of school because of a performance at the Galleria. The foreign language department will be caroling instead.

Other performances by the band and choir were an assembly for the student body on December 13 and

He also plans to make it possible to buy books when they are recommended by students who ask for them. The library has an average of 25 students in it each period and Ercolin is trying to find out what students would like to change or add to the library system.

Christmas different in years past

These were all answers to the question: Was Christmas more religious when you were a child?

Seventy-two year-old Barbara Stanley, a long-time Portland resident, continued, "Religion has always been an important part ·of my Christmas. Even the thought of all the commercialization upsets me! When I was a child, presents weren't important to me or my family, like they are to the children of today. Our only thought was of religion."

This was only one of many who had approximately the same answer. Miss Annette Whinomey, of the Care Center . East nursing home, stated, "The commercialization that has plagued Christmas in the past decade is terrible! Some , just don't know the meaning of Christmas anymore."

Although most don't like the commercialization of today's Christmas, there still were some favorite presents that were always asked for back then. Pencil boxes, dolls (not like the mechanical ones of today), BB guns, chalkboards,

and books, just to name a few.

Some of these are the same as the pleas of the children this year.

Several have been noticed "begging" for books, BB guns, and yes, those mechanized beauties that wet everywhere when you pull. their hair and tickle their feet.

National AAU Jr. Olympic boxing chairman, Jerry, Dusenberry, a BB gun beggar as a child, gave a brief summary of a typical Christmas day when he was young, "We kids would get up around 7:00 in the morning and go wake up Mom and Dad. Then we went downstairs and opened the goodies. After breakfast we would go to Grandma's house, where everybody (my 20 relatives and I) would feast."

Mother of five, Mary Lou Pillette, summed the whole matter up by saying, "Cbristmas is different now than when I was a little girl. If I had to go back now, as an adult, I would see all the work that my mother and grandmother went to. I think then I would appreciate it more."

Nutritional food to partially replace lounge 'junk' food HURRY! You've only got one more day left to say farewell to your favorite candy bar in the machines at the student lounge, because chances are 1 in 2 that when you come back from vacation, it won't be there.

That's right; the Portland School Board , after revising its original decision to ban all "junk" food sales in high

schools, has decided to make half of all food sold in high schools "nutritional" food. The Board has banned "junk" food sales entirely in elementary and middle schools. We feel this decision was responsible on the part of the School Board, as it still gives Franklin and other Portland high school students freedom of choice as to what

.bIe C0 ns Um ers res. Pons I . . fOr COmmerc1ahzat1on qu;~:ysoard Every year about this time people can be heard complaining about the over-commercialization of Christmas, what with Christmas items on display in stores before Thanksgiving, and Christmas catalogs mailed out in September.

But can we really blame the merchants? Is it not our fault for being too busy to make tree ornaments, bake cookies or send out Christmas cards?

It has become all too easy to blame the other person - "It is the store owner who has brought about this marketing of Christmas, not me!"

But, if such a venture was not profitable would the proprietor continue? We think not.

For it is not the customer who buys his Christmas gifts in June - to beat the Christmas rush - that is affected, but the average citizen, who on Christmas Eve runs from store to store hoping to find "the perfect gift" for Aunt Jane.

No, the fault lies not on the store keeper but on ourselves for having let him get away with it.

No store owner can tell a person how to celebrate Christmas it is left completely up to the family members and once it is m~de clear that Christmas is not just for gifts but for family unity and friendship, only then will Christmas stop being commercialized.

Christmas must be appreciated in the home, for once it becomes commercialized in the home there is no hope left.

We must stop worrying about what the other guy or the store keeper is doing, and start worrying about the approach and meaning we're giving to Christmas.

Vandalism Dear Editor: This is our fourth year at Franklin. Until this year, we have never seen so much vandalism in the school. The toilet seats in the upstairs boys' bathrooms have been broken. The bricks in the gym torn out, and the doors to the boys' locker room have been slightly torn up too. What Is going on here?

I always thought the school was for people and not for animals.

The "people" who think it's fun to destroy public property ought to be in a cage. We're sure the students and parents who want their .building to stand would be happy to supply the bananas to keep

Why do Santas always ask the same old questions such as "What would you like for Christmas? How about one of those Super Sonic Beamweavers?" Naturally, the little kid doesn't even know what one is to him, but that doesn't matter since Santa knows what he's talking about. The little tot walks away happy with the candy cane stuck in his mouth, while thinking that he'll ask for a couple of those "super somethings."

Big sisters and brothers are beginning to find it very annoying when their little sister or brother is constantly asking, "Does Santa have a couple of twin brothers?" But the kid doesn't mind since he or she has started a swell collection of

Cabinet response Dear Editor, We, the members of the senior cabinet would like to respond to the article, "Apathy Leaves Seniors Penniless" in the issue of November 18, 1977.

We feel that insufficient information was gathered for the article. Most points that were presented as facts are fallacies.

The article stated, "It is quite a shock to find that after three years of fund-raising and one prom, your class is out of money." We are not . "penniless," as stated in the headline. At the begining of our fall term in office, we had $345. in the treasurey. After our succcessful senior week, we now have $1,050. For a cabinet of 11 members to raise approximately $800. in a period of five days is an outstanding accomplishment. This was pointed out to us by our peers as well as our administrators.

May we make one suggeston? Be certain to get specific facts concerning dollars and cents.

A check with the class treasurer should have been considered before stating "penniless" referring to the senior class.

Class cabinets have specific duties, not including holding a free senior prom. Only in the past few years have the senior proms been free.

Due to inflation, and the decrease of enrollment in each class, the task is harder to achieve each year. This year, the seniors were fortunate to have a prom committee that worked hard and helped raise money.

Class cabinets have no obligation to work

candy canes.

Why does one want to be a Santa Claus? Talking to several Santas around Portland, many different answers were given such as "I need extra Christmas money," or "It's a way to share the holidays," and yes, even "I like getting my picture taken."

Do the Santas still Ho-HO when a mother of five wants a Christmas picture taken? It seems like a nice idea, though the 6-year-old and 5-year-old keep sneaking candy canes while the 3-year-old and the 2-year-old are trying to pull his beard off with their sticky fingers (from the last Santa who gave them candy canes down the street), and the little cute wrapped up 1-year-old screams frantically at this sight. Oh no, Santa is turning red. Is it because of too much weight on his lap? No, for the 22nd time today. It's wet diapers. ,

·ff... - ..

Concerning the statement" ... the re-election of the same people to the cabinet, . . . " we would like to point out that cabinet positions are open to any member of the class. The class has the choice to elect who they feel are qualified and will represent them well.

We hope the facts presented will help clarify any confused ideas concerning the senior class.

Rally's job . To the Editor: This letter is to the person who wrote the "rally rebuttal" in the Dec. 2 POST. I have worked with the rally girls making locker signs and putting them up. I know how hard they work to help the team's spirit.

I also know that most of the rally stayed after school until 4: 30. It's hard work for the rally to make locker signs and the large posters for the team to run through after half-time.

After the rally works on locker signs, if there is a game after school, they try to go watch it.

But some of them have jobs or other things to do at home.

The varsity rally has worked hard to get more people to the games. They gave the school and the team a lot of spirit.

They have worked hard and I think we should be proud of them all.

Scrooge - Santa Face off

-Christmas not yet "snowed" Under----

-D-ear-sant-a:

1 would like to point out to you that the way in which your fans are treating Christmas these days is not only a disgrace to you, but to your holiday also. It's not that I really care, but thought it to be only fair to give you the warning of such behavior. And it is obvious that I am winning over more and more people for my cause.

Why, it was ol).ly yesterday that I saw a gentleman doing some last-minute shopping for people he hadn't planned to ·buy for. When I asked him why, his reason was they had sent him a gift. I knew in a moment that was my kind of person. If you haven't noticed, this is happening too often, and your concern may be needed.

You might also check into something that never used to happen.

These lovely "Tinsel Trees" with the plastic ornaments just aren't the same, but it helps to keep the Merry out of Christmas. Oh, and t hose fake green trees that look like something that you would buy from the Fuller Brush man, they really ought to go. That is, if you wish the true meaning of the Christmas tree to remain for future generations.

I just got word from my man in Portland. He reported to me that t heir school district is starting to work with me in my endeavor to do away with the Christmas traditions. You know they would never give three weeks for CHRISTMAS VACA.TION but as soon as they changed it to WINTER VACATION, we arranged for an extra week. That man is a real good worker. He has arranged to do away with Christmas Concerts, only to replace them with a Mid-Winter Concert.

He got a report from his contact at Franklin High, and my fan club there is ending a 30-year tradition. They are not singing "O Holy Night" to end their concert this season. Another step towards a great goal.

If you haven't noticed, Mother Nature is on my side also. When was the last time you saw a great amount of snow on Christmas. I ask you, have you ever seen a sleigh on paved streets? Let's face it, Santa, you're up a hill without your sleigh.

Bah-Humbug, Scrooge.

BAii· 1111MBllG

Dearest Scrooge, I was very happy to hear from you and get your report on the progress of your cause so far this year. Oh yes, the wife says hello, and Merry Christmas.

I'm glad you wrote as it shows what I always knew, that you really do care about the most joyous season of the year, and want to see it kept intact. Although you said it didn't matter to you, I know better. Now I would like to clarify some of these things which you say are helping your cause.

You may not know it but these are trying times in the souls of men. Money is tight and gifts cost a lot more than I bet even you realize. I bet this man was doing a·practice very common nowadays, saving money. But as the days till Christmas grew nearer and nearer the spirit of the season loosened his purse strings and he decided to expose his true feelings toward the holidays. You could learn a lesson from this man. Act now before it's too late.

As for the name Christmas Vacation being replaced by winter, and then having the vacation extended, we have our reasons for letting that one slip through out fingers. We figured that by giving up the word Christmas for winter to get an extra week was a great deal. The word Christmas is practically synonomous with winter anyway. This way people have more time to be with their families and extend the joy of the season. Call it one small step for Scrooge and one giant leap for Santa.

The 30-year tradition ending for Franklin is for sentimental reasons only. As you probably don't know, their music teacher of over 30 years retired last year and the music department felt that out of respect for him they would not end with "O Holy Night."

The Mother Nature problem is being worked out. We drew up a new contract with her to have snow delivered on Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. The snow order for Thanksgiving was just a tad-bit early, but she assured us that the Christmas snow would be just on time. · Scrooge, I don't want you to think that I am trying to make up excuses, or to show you up. I just wanted to point out to you that the . joy and spirit Christmas brings is just as strong now as it has been and will always be. So don't think the Merry is out of Christmas yet.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

God Bless you all, Mr. Santa Claus

"I resolve to graduate this year," stated senior Jim Fauts.

Sophomore Chris Pillette resolves "to work on my body." Senior Ronn Guldenzopf resolved "to make a success of my life."

Sophomore Donald Feeley resolves "to stay awake in class:" Senior Gary Myers resolves "to eventually shave my beard."

Senior Bob Lowen resolves "to get my act together." Scott Derby said, "if I make a resolution to give up some things I have, I would have to replace them and I may not like the new me. That's why I never make resolutions because I'd hate to be a new Scott Derby."

FHS child care class celebrates holidays

by Jill Workman Cinnamon bear, presents, singing children, and refreshments were all part of child care's Christmas parties.

Jim Caputo, who works as Cinnamon Bear, was at the party for the four and five year olds yesterday and will be today for the two and three year olds' party.

All the children received or will receive presents they are told are from Santa Claus. "Each parent brings a present for their own child. That way they get what they want," explained child care teacher Ruby Sewright.

"The parties are for the children, their parents, and the student helpers, who made Christmas stockings for the children," said Sewright. According to Sewright, "The children sing

_by Terri Crotteau When I was little, I would go visit this old ghost town named Shaniko. I would sit on the wooden walks and watch some of the old people who thought they were cowboys when they would entertain the tourists. Just as I was sitting back to laugh at this town, an old man dressed up as a sheriff would come strolling out and stop the tourists and have them pay him a $1.00 to let them take his picture. NO, not a dream, just memories...

For the past 20 years, Mrs. Sue Widmark, an RN, provided a foster home in Shaniko for as many as 30 state wards, primarily aging and mentally retarded persons.

She had to sell the hotel and move "Her big family" elsewhere because the state compliances were too rigid and the state had too many demands of fixing the hotel. A big roblem suddenl

pushed on to Mrs. Widmark, and covering the costs was impossible.

Applying for state and federal aid, but not succeeding, the hotel went up in public auction and sold for $54,000. After the purchase, the bidder, 84 year old Mr. Earl Bone developed a blood clot on the brain and is being hospitalize'd.

Meanwhile, the transaction never went completely through and is at a standstill.

The town, which had been built many years ago, developed into a tourist attraction known as the "Great Ghost Town." Mrs. Widmark added, "You should see it now, the life has really gone out of it."

Mrs. Widmark feels frustrated and slowly g!lve up with the state since they gave her such a bad time about the ghost town.

Trying to explain to all her old friends that they would have to leave each other and the town · wouldn't be known as "theirs" anymore, brought many sad emotions into the scene. But if wouldn't matter anymore since the state didn't have to be the one to break it to the old people."

"Christmas won't be the same, I'll really miss Shaniko's spirit," replied Mrs. Widmark.

PADDY O'CINNAMON - These two young Cinnamon Bear admirers seem to enjoy the attention given to them.

by Paul Hughes And now for the further adventures of Paddy O'Cinnamon and his quest for the silver star.

Paddy O'Cinnamon is, of course, the Cinnamon Bear. A tradition going back 25 years with the Lipman Wolfe company.

This year as you crawl upon his knee, take a good long look, you may recognize that twinkle in his eye or that shake of his head as that of Franklin senior James Caputo.

Caputo heard about the job from Bob Coles, Work Experience Coordinator, who set him up for the interview. When he arrived for the interview he ' found his schedule was already written out. "No different than any other interview. She asked me questions about when I could work," commented Caputo.

"There's no training involved, you just sit there and give out cookies ... you can't talk. When it's slow you can walk around and hug kids or give out cookies." Or else you just sit there while 84 year old ladies sit on your lap and get their picture taken."

"While I'm shaking my head or hands, or giving out cookies, some kids come up and poke me in the face or take my he!ld off or turn my head around backwards."

"Yes I'd do it again. It's a fun and good way to exhibit your Christmas spirit," concluded Caputo.

Happy Hanukkah!!!

Jews celebrate own holiday

by Cheryl Bland The Menorah (candlestick) is lit and a Yiddish blessing is sung.

A spinning · Dreidal (top) is brought out into a circle of laughing children. Christmas is not the only holiday this time of the year.

Hanukkah has begun.

"Hanukkah is a minor, eightday, Jewish festival or holiday.

They are celebrating religious freedom," said Eve Rosenfeld, a member of Beth Israel Synagogue.

According to Dr. Sydni Patkashnick, a Rabbi, "Hanukkah is a time of rededication. At the time when Israel was occupied by the Greeks, the king downgraded groups of people for gathering together for prayer. With the help of God, they overcame the king."

He continued, "They went to give thanks in the church. When they arrived, they found only enough oil to light the room for one day. They lit the lamp and it burned for not one day, but for eight days. This is where the

eight-day celebration came from." day, December 25," said Rabbi "It is customary for Jewish Patkashnick. people to have a menorah in their "It has become tradition in home or in a gathering place," said America to give gifts to others for Ms. Rosenfeld.

Shelter signs provide use Back during the time of the Cold War, the United States government decided to take steps to ' ensure the safety of citizens. The result was fall out shelters.

According to George Bennett of the Oregon Department of Ernergency Services, many business, state and federal buildings were licensed to be fall out shelters in 1963. These buildings were set up by the ODES. They had to pass certain qualification standards to be able to attain a license. They had to be large enough to accommodate 50 people or more for at least two weeks, have a water supply, and good ventilahnildinn had to be ..... A

surveyed by competent personnel and then approved. "No fees were charged for getting a license," he said.

These fall out shelters are set up in cases of emergencies such as bombings, floods, tornadoes and other disasters. Victims of. these disasters are then able to come to these fall out shelters and be provided for. · Fall out shelters are still being issue today, but the fall out shelter signs are not displayed on the buildings anymore. Although the fears of some of these disasters aren't as strong as it used to be, it's nice to know that there are fall out 11helters around.

songs, have refreshments, open presents and there is just general merry making."

Child care is a "community service program for the children" which provides a "live laboratory class" for the student helpers to learn, stated, Sewright.

Sewright explained that the two and three years olds come on Wednesday and Friday and have class from 9:30-11:30, while the four and five year olds have class on Tuesday and Thursday and stay from 8:45-11:45, leaving Monday as a planning day.

"Child care aid training class is open to all junior and senior students including boys," said Sewright but "Franklin has been a little reluctant to get boys involved." Sewright is hoping that next year some boys will take the double period class.

pies seep from the kitchen. For the first time in many shifts the family is reunited and will eat around the same table at the same time.

Father has hung up his shipyard helmet, and sister has shelved her welder's torch. The meal is eaten with deliberation as no after-dinner ride is anticipated, for where can one go on an A card? The coffee pot sits neglected on the back of the stove. Only the thinnest pretense is made of drinking its thrice-boiled grounds.

Over the group, over the great American family, hovers Little Tim's benediction. "God bless us, everyone." For the gold star atop the tree shines upon the blue star in the window.

After reading that, we should try to realize how lucky we really are. During Christmas '42, World

~

~

War II was in full swing and yet we still celebrated. With a star in the window to signify a family member in the service, families came together to celebrate the Yuletide. It may not have been one of the happiest Christmases ever, but it was certainly one of the closest.

Now, as we sit here 35 years later, we're at peace. No longer are our parents, sons and daughters dying overseas. No longer need we worry if our brothers, friends, or boyfriends will return. Everyone should reflect upon the joy those many families summoned up when Christmas had arrived in hard times, and try to make this Christmas a little closer and happier. Merry Christmas and God bless.

Hosting a meet tonight

Wrestlers capture Marshall Tournament

by Renee Russell The Franklin High matmen got their Christmas wish last Friday as they took first place in the Marshall tournament with six wrestlers taking a first-place finish in their individual weight classes.

Tonight the wrestlers hope to do the same thing as they host South Albany, David Douglas and Wilson in the gym.

"The competition this week will be very tough. South Albany and David Douglas are very strong and tough competitors," stated varsity coach Tom Dyar.

The wrestlers seemed to agree that today's tourney will be a challenge.

"We're off to a good start and we'll have a tough one tonight," remarked Kerry Jobe.

The good start came last week when Franklin saw some excellent performances from the wrestlers.

Mark Barbour took first place with all pins. Jim Calhoun, Rick Davis, Kerry Jobe, Joe Harding and Doug Walters also placed first, to lead the matmen to victory.

"As a team we performed very well. We improved from previous competitions," through Dyar.

"We did a lot better this tournament than we did last tournament,

and we should keep improving," replied Bill Gump.

"We did a good job. Most everybody really put out," said Joe Harding about last Friday's tournament.

Today's meet is the matmen's first home tournament. "After we wrestle all of the schools outside of the PIL and we get back in the city, we should do pretty good," observed Rick Davis.

The wrestlers will practice all through winter vacation to be ready for the upcoming matches.

Franklin's J.V. team also took first place with an impressive seven first place finishes last Friday.

Dave Brown stated, "We're looking better every week." The J.V. and varsity teams are really one big team as they interchange wrestlers during the season.

Placing first for the J.V. team were Chuck Calhoun, Jeff Nelson, Dave Brown, Neal Dietz, Brian Holstine, Ed Manchine and Bill Liberty.

Coach Jon Abraham was pleased with the tournament.

Coaching wrestling is a new experience for Abraham and he says that he likes it and enjoys the kids.

Quakerettes face state champs gives the Quakers an added advantage in games. Other key players include Terri Crotteau who uses her h,eight advantage in scoring and Kellie Burke in rebounding. Stacie Smith, whose speed and quickness keeps the game moving at a fast pace, Annette Lewis with her outside shooting, Bev Brannon and Karna . McFarland with their dribbling abilities add to the team. This year's team consists mostly of skilled individuals who have excellent talent, but haven't been able to put it together as a team.

, AT WAR FOR THE BOARDS - The girls' basketball team "muscle In" for the rebound in a recent Quaker game.

by Suzanne Wallace Action takes place tonight when the F.H.S. "hoop" girls take on the state champion Wilson Trojans.

"Wilson will be just as strong as last year, with their outside shooting," stated Coach Walt Buckiewicz.

As of now, the b-ballers' pre-season record stands at 1 win and 3 losses. Though the cagers have not played up to their expectations, defense seems to be a key factor involved in game situations.

With the girls' basketball · growing stronger in competition, Coach Buckiewicz stated that, "We have an excellent chance of beating most of our PIL competition and should surprise a lot of teams."

With '78 rolling in

The Post looks hack-on 1977 As Father Time begins to feel the aches and pains of old age and the sands of 1977 begin to run out, we of the Post's Sports Department feel it's only appropriate to review the sporting events of the past year.

Here at Franklin, in February, the student body was shocked to discover tht the wrestling team had let the PIL dual meet championship slip through their fingets. They did later claim the title of district champs for the second year in a row.

Also that month a new sports program debuted on the athletic scene. It was girls' softball.

Although not city champs, the team did show hope for the future.

Other teams' success stories

included the freshman baseball team whose undefeated, unblemished record won them the ranks of city champions.

Varsity baseball was called by some a "Cinderella Story," where the hot and cold ball club surprised a few opponents ll!cluding state champions, Benson. The Quakers immediately took control of the game and shut out the Techmen, 5-0.

Teams here at Franklin were not the only ones to taste the nectar of victory but also individuals. Such was the cas~ of a young man named Kendall Jobe whose honors ranged from being chosen to represent the North in the Shriners' football game to earning a spot on the Oregon Cultural Exchange Wrestling Team. he was also AAU State Champ in freestyle,

along with then-sophomore Jim Calhoun who ruled as state champion in Greco Roman wrestling.

Terri Ackerman claimed the ranks of the city champ in diving.

At last this success in sports has not only been part of the younger or "Pepsi" generation, but also came to the fatigued faculty as the faculty beat the seniors for the 22nd year in a row in the annual senior-faculty basketball game.

Math teacher Dick Mabry sank his first hole in one in his fifteen years of golfing at the Rose ity Golf course. Another successful achiever in the math department was wrestling coach Tom Dyar, who was head coach of the Oregon Cultural Exchange team.

Winter snow brings on new mobiling, and sledding are some activities that come with winter. Most of these have something to offer everyone from the beginner to the most experienced person.

"Winter camping is really neat, according to REI. 'What is so neat about it is not too many people do it. You're off by yourself and it's so peaceful.

You have to try it to really understand the feeling. It's not anything like summer camping.

It really takes a special type of person to do it."

Living in snowcaves is just one special feature of camping in the winter. Special equipment such as tents with snow flaps and different types of clothes are required along with experience for this activity.

The challenge of snow shoeing can be accepted by anyone from the first timer to the most experienced person. Different equipment and trails are offered for the difference in experience or dedication a person may have.

For a first timer, renting shoes for the day and a three-mile round trip between Government Camp and Multorpor may be a great experience.

But for someone whose been at it for a while, an $80.00 pair of aluminum snow shoes, a pack on their back, and a map in their hand may offer five or ten days on the trail.

by Cheryl Bland As winter draws near, many people pack away their football or soccer shoes and replace them with their basketball or wrestling equipment. Some just bring out different clothes.

But others begin to prepare themselves for .what some outdoorsmen consider the most "challenging season" of the year.

"In outdoor winter sports you are up against different elements. You don't have to worry about the bugs and heat, but you have to contend with something a lot harder, the cold weather," says an employee of RCI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.).

A WRESTLERS' CAROL

LAID UP FOR GOOD - SENIOR EDDIE FLAKE adds two points to the scoreboard. His effort was in vain as the Quakers succumbed to the Grant Generals.

It was the night before the Franklin tourney, and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a "Mouse" (David Brown).

Our head gear was hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Dan Gable would soon be there. .The wrestlers all muzzled with straps on their head, and all their opponents wished they were dead.

Officials do make mistakes ...

P.E. teacher Buckiewicz blows whistle on college basketball

by Stacie Smith "A basketball official that makes a mistake has to just laugh it off.

Everyone makes mistakes or they wouldn't be human," said Walt Buckiewicz, PE teacher and basketball official.

Buckiewicz has refereed approximately 1,500 games in a thirtyfive year career. At seventeen, he refereed his first game in New Jersey. It was a JV high school game.

From that time on til now he has refereed at many different levels of basketball. He has worked at the Portland Trail Blazers rookie camps in the summer for the first four years they had the camp.

Also, he officiated for ten years in the Pacific coast league, P AC-8, in the college ranks. He was forced to retire because of age from the PAC-8, and so now he works the smaller colleges such as Portland State University.

Buckiewicz stated that he liked to officiate college games better than the lower levels. He feels that the college games are more of a challenge. Players run faster,

and also a reteree should coach at least one year. It makes you realize what the other guy is going through and helps you to understand," said Buckiewicz.

For young people wishing to go into officiating Buckiewicz advises, to get started right away. Start at a low level and work your way up.

An official has to like sports, but doesn't have to be good at them.

Referees are made up of all kinds of people, it is not limited to one group. Doctors, lawyers, teachers and many others are all officials.

WALT BUCKIEWICZ Officiating is more than working two hours in a game. Meetings mo:ve quicker and jump higher. So have to be attended each week for this means it is harder to catch the two to three hours. They discuss mistakes and fouls. rules and then take written tests.

Buckiewicz commented on the An official is always being consistency of officials, "I think evaluated, by fellow officials, some that there is a need for three coahes, and evaluators in the officials, that way there would be stands. If the official is found not more consistency. With two there capable then he is put on probation is no way to catch all the things and if that is not sufficient, then he that happen." is fired. .

Does officiating help him with But to Buckiewicz this is all coaching the girls' basketball worth it as he said, "It really team? "You bet, I think all coahces relaxes me and the money is should officiate at least one year, good."

''Abe'' finds wrestlin.g challenge

by David Leathers After nine years of wrestling with coaching cross country and track, P.E. teacher Jon Abraham has been converted into a J.V. wrestling coach. Abraham, who was hesitant in accepting the job, has passed the test of transition with flying colors.

Head coach Tom Dyar testified, "He's been doing an excellent job.

He's very enthusiastic and even gets down on the mat and tries the moves himself." Abraham confesses that it hasn't JJeen easy "well in a little way it's frustrating, because of my inexperience but it's something different and I learn something everyday from the kids and from Mr. Dyar."

When asked about the differ-

ences in the programs, Abraham replied, "It's comple~ely contained, while track is so spread out. There is more of a closeness because of the containment. Also there is a totally different conditioning than track. The upper body is stressed here where in track it is the opposite."

Although Abraham never fore- · saw himself as becoming a wrestling coach, he had this opinion of his j9b so far. · "I'm enjoying it more everyday, it takes a little time to get to know everything. The kids have been helpful in that they .haven't openly criticized me when they may know more."

Abraham does, however, have a different outlook on wrestling now

that he has had to go through the practices. "I really respect wrestlers now that I know what they go through."

Wrestler Doug Walters, commenting on Abraham's coaching, stated, "He's just as much a champion now as he was in 1957."

for a light workout on the mat.

When up in the gym, I heard such a clatter, we sprang from the locker room. We couldn't be. madder.

Away to the gym we flew like a flash, ready to kick "patutee" and then even smash.

We knew in a jest that they wouldn't go, but we also knew that we'd demolish our foes.

And what to our wondering eyes should appear but David Douglas, South Albany, and Wilson with sneers.

With our own Coach Dyar so lively and quick, I knew in a moment that we would click.

More rapid than eagles, we wrestlers came. Dyar whistled and shouted and called us by name: now Rostig, now Nelson, Barbour and Vincent. On Gump! On Walters, on Davis; no one's missing.

To the top of the stairs! To the top of the hall! Now smash 'em, smash 'em, smash 'em you all!

Winter track starts under new a·dviser

by David Leathers Most people don't think that running outside in the cold is very fun type of activity for the winter time. Nevertheless a hardy group of individuals don't agree.

Several members of Franklin's cross country team are the steady member of winter track. First year adviser Paul Bolin stated that the main goals of the group are to get people in shape for track so that when the season arrives the team will not have to waste time getting in shape.

The group, which is made up of 5-10 runners, run on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The runs range from 5-8 miles and include touring places like Mt. Tabor, Laurelhurst, and Washington Parks.

While creating a continuous activity for some long distrance runners, the program also preps people for winter events such as

the marathon and the Oregon indoor meet. Advisor Bolin hopes to qualify for the famed Boston Marathon and the Seaside Marathon, and the program is helping him in his cause.

Bolin stated, "I enjoy it, I do it mainly for myself and hope other people get something out of it too."

While the group is just getting started, according to Boiin, the team will try to hit it after the Christmas vacation.

To the top of the brackets the Quakers they flew, with a barrel full of victories and a pin or two.

As I threw my foe's head down to the ground, I knew in a moment I was victory bound.

He let out a scream as he was flung to his back and my eyes gleamed as I furthered my attack.

His eyes how they twinkled, his shoulder blades there, he knew as he lay down that this fish I wouldn't spare.

He lay out there like a little flat bow and knew, sure as heck, I wouldn't let go.

The whistle blew in the referee's teeth and then I knew I had achieved my victory wreath.

With a wink of Dyar's eye and a twist of his head, I knew that the team had nothing to dread.

We heard as the teams drove out of sight, "We'll be back.

We'll be back. We'll be back some other night."
