A is for Athletics Football, basketball, baseball, and track gave P. C. H. S. a full schedule for 1941-42. Track reappeared for the first time since 1939. The Reflector is using the same policy in track as in baseball, that of publishing the complete scores in the next year’s issue. Bill McCarty again was in charge of all athletics and boys’ physical education. Albert Meier was assistant coach. The season’s cheering was efficiently directed by a junior, Doris Ryberg; a sophomore, Joan Archer; and a freshman, Mary McGauley. Miss Cocking served as their sponsor. Orchids to Mr. Frederick and the Swing Band who helped pep up many of the games. Another bouquet to Mr. McCarty’s flag drill group that consisted of Patricia Fuller, Avis Bluemly, Betty Piper, Nancy Frederick, Ella Mae Stanford, and Peggy Carlsten.

6 is for Hand The P. C. H. S. Band has a membership of 58. Practices are held the first period on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday under the direction of Mr. Frederick. Many new students became members of the organization this year. Because of this fact, rehearsals are devoted to developing skill and appreciation of music. Sectional rehearsals are held outside of school time. The band took part in the annual musicale on April 1. Barbara Jean Given, French horn soloist, entered the district contest at Fair bury and placed in the first division. This entitled her to participate in the sectional contest at Peoria. She placed in the first division and will enter the state contest in May. The Swing Band is composed of the older members of the P. C. H. S. Band. Rehearsals for this group are held on Tuesday and Friday, the first period. They specialize in popular pieces, marches, and light opera selections. During the past year they have played at football and basketball games, the Ford County Tourney at Melvin, our own Regional Tourney, and the Spring Musicale.
