Coos Bay teen sees his future teaching science.


Byline: The Register-Guard

NAME: Eddie O'Donnell Eddie O'Donnell (22 June 1885 Faribault, Minnesota – 26 November 1920 Beverly Hills, California) was an American racecar driver. O'Donnell died of injuries sustained in a practice crash before in an AAA race. .

HOMETOWN: Coos Bay Coos Bay (ks), city (1990 pop. 15,076), Coos co., SW Oreg., a port of entry on Coos Bay; founded 1854 as Marshfield, inc. 1874, renamed 1944. .

HIGH SCHOOL: Marshfield High School Mashfield High School may refer to one of these high schools in the United States:
  • Marshfield High School (Massachusetts)
  • Marshfield High School (Missouri)
  • Marshfield High School (Oregon)
  • Marshfield High School (Wisconsin)
.

PARENTS' NAMES: Ed and Karen O'Donnell.

AGE: 18.

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR: I plan to attend Honors College at Oregon State University Oregon State University, at Corvallis; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered 1858 as Corvallis College, opened 1865. In 1868 it was designated Oregon's land-grant agricultural college and was taken over completely by the state in 1885. . My major is somewhere in the field of science, although I'm not exactly sure what field. Right now, I'm looking at secondary education as my career goal.

ACTIVITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL: Varsity swimming four years, Key Club, student council (Associated Student Body president and secretary), National Honor Society The National Honor Society (NHS), established in 1921, is a recognition program for American high school students who show achievement in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. , Link Crew leader (freshman orientation), filmmaking and videography vid·e·og·ra·phy  
n.
The art or practice of using a video camera.



vide·og
, Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout recipient) and valedictorian.

GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL: Being elected student body president would be the biggest for me. It made my senior year a blast.

WHAT WAS YOUR WORST HIGH SCHOOL MOMENT: On the last day of school at the end of my sophomore year, I backed my dad's truck right into a girl's new Honda Civic. That was quite the embarrassing experience.

WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL? Aside from calculus? I've learned that being yourself and having a good time with friends is really what life's all about.

FAVORITE TEACHER: Mrs. Maguire, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Kotsovos and Mr. Engle. All four of these people have inspired me to succeed, have been great role models and are just really funny in class - making high school a very enjoyable place for me.

IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU $1,000 WITH ORDERS TO SPEND IT TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOU BUY? I would buy a plane ticket to Europe and backpack around until the money ran out.

CAPTION(S):

Marshfield's Eddie O'Donnell plans to major in science at Oregon State University, but he turned digital video production into a serious hobby while he was in high school.
