. . Turn back the hands of time. uiistory Turn back the hands of time to the morning of September 4, 1939. Let's follow the once small tracks of our seniors through the sands of time and watch them grow. Our first im- prints were made in kindergarten where we learned that scissors were for cutting paper in- stead of hair, and that paste was not to be eaten, fls these tracks grow, we find we could read, count, and more recently work algebra, read Latin, and solve chemical equations. fls we look back on grade school days, our tracks are somewhat covered by the exciting winds of high school. The footprints of 1948, when we entered the doors of P.C.H.S., are at first a little confused with the new high school schedule. The tracks soon become more clear as we accustomed ourselves to the routine of grown-up days. Lasting imprints, at least in our memories, are highlights of the past four years: class assembly programs, plays, and parties; school dances, and games. Class officers were: freshmen—president, Mary Lou Parli; vice-president, Doris Hess; sec- retary-treasurer, Gerry Gifford; student coun- cil, Bill Huston; and sponsor. Miss Childers; sophomores—president, Doris Hess, vice-presi- dent, Bill Huston; secretary-treasurer, Ken Johnson; student council, Eugene Rakosnik; and sponsors. Miss Ullstrom and Mr. Darrow, juniors—president, Eugene Rakosnik; vice- president, David Waddell; secretary, Gerry Gifford; treasurer, Jerome Hoffman; student council, Doris Hess and Kyril Brown; and sponsors, Miss Peckham and Miss Danielson; seniors—president, Kyril Brown; vice-presi- dent, Charles Spohr, secretary, Carolyn Bratt; treasurer, Jerome Hoffman; student council, Gerry Gifford and David Waddell; and spon- sors, Miss fluserod and Mr. Goodwin. Repre- senting our class in carnival royalty were: Gerry and Bill as freshmen; Doris Hess and Gene when we were sophies, and last year, Marilyn and Chuck. Perhaps best of all, we at last find these same imprints, now of dairvty slippers and highly polished shoes, from junior-senior ban- quets, baccalaureate, and finally graduation. After the momentous date of May 23, 1952, the tracks will be harder to trace as they will follow many different individual paths. The footsteps falter a little as we leave Pawnee High as students for the last time, but we hope our imprints will remain, at least faintly, for- ever. CLASS MOTTO: Minds, like parachutes, work only when open. COLORS: Blue and white FLOWER: Orchid t'age 12
