F is for Foothill The opening of the 1941 football season placed a big responsibility on the five remaining lettermen. The new team had to defend the 1940 Wauseca League championship as well as three previous years of success. The result was not a record to compare with those successful seasons, neither was it one to bring shame to P. C. H. S. The team showed a gradual improvement, leaving brighter hopes for 1942. The football lettermen for this year were Stanley Peterson, William Scott, Arnold Magnuson, Ronald Sivill, Andrew Hendricks, Wendell Siddens, Robert McCabe, Gordon Johnson, Cornelius Noland, Richard Cottrell, Jack Miller, Wilmer Smith, James Nuss, and Robert Gustafson. Jack Ireland received a letter as manager.

D is for II nun a fir (Ini) The Dramatic Club, meeting with Miss Emsing, has had a very successful year. Any student interested in speech may belong to this organization. The aim of the club is to develop poise, a well-modulated voice, and the ability to meet people graciously, to converse easily and pleasantly, to express oneself in clear and simple English, and to speak in public. The main topics studied were public speaking, verse speaking, choral verse reading, impersonation, and voice exercises. Just before the Christmas holidays, this club presented before the assembly a one-act play entitled, “Grandma.” The big events of the year were the contests. In the district contest at Gilman, Joan Archer placed first in class A and second in district with a humorous reading, “Mr. Pickwick and His Romantic Adventure” by Charles Dickens. Bonnie Brison placed second in class A and second in district with a dramatic reading, a cutting from REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier. Bonnie Brison and Doris Ryberg competed in the Ford County Literary Contest at Gibson City. Doris placed third with the humorous reading. Joan and Bonnie participated in the sectional contest held at Normal.
