Q Must for tion is use West Who says a Woman could never be president? Not B-PC students! A ten-year precedent at B-PC was broken last spring when the student body elected a girl, lanet Evans, to the presidency, a job which lanet has filled very efficiently. Composed of representatives from each class and each organization, the Student Council gives students a real opportunity to practice democracy. Activities sponsored by the Student Council--Homecoming, Christmas Dance, College Day, and the March-of-Dimes Campaign-make the members realize the im- portance of co--operation between the administration and the stuf dents, an important factor in building democratic attitudes. Being the most important and active organization in school, the Council effectively fulfilled its primary duty of governing student af- fairs and activities. Besides establishing the pattern of behavior for the students, it scheduled special assemblies for our enjoyment and planned activities to fill our free time. Growing in strength each year, our Student Council has defin- itely become the guiding influence in our school.

Then the problems began to arise--pictures to be planned and ta- ken, copy to be Written, double- checked, and rewritteng prints to be selected and cropped, a dummy to be kept up to date, and--most impor- tant ot all-an early deadline to be met. Slowly we began to grasp the mag- nitude of our task. We were deter- mined that our yearbook should cover every phase of school life-the lun and the Work, the activities and the classes, the little incidents and major events, The l957 Staff is proud of its achievement and hopes that when you finish reading the last page, you will be, too. .4-rf N-J Advertising Editor Ber- nodine Worthington, As- sistant Editor Joyce Mel- vin, and Business Man- ager Lois Thompson con- fer with Sponsor Mrs. Armstrong and Editor Joyce Pershing on pre- liminary layout plans.

'lWhat is your personal cure for hiccoughs? 'iWhat would you say to Elvis Presley it he called you on the phone? When questions like these were asked, one knew that there was a roving reporter for the Sparta Star in the crowd. But sometimes re- porters were not so obvious. Take the Alex and Bridget column, tor instance. The four girls writing The Tails KTalesl of Alex and Bridget, although certain- ly not omnipresent, somehow always N N-My seemed to know everything about ev- erybody-and they reported it, in a humorous, harmless way, to the de- light oi everyone. This popular column was not the only reason that B-PC students so eag- erly awaited each bifmonthly edition of the Sparta Star. News items, ex- change articles, and editorials were all products of a hard working staff, while box scores and complete sports write- ups made the paper a fine record of the results of our athletic competi- tion. Sue and Mrs. Mead have a laugh over an article in an ex- change paper. Coach Swanson gives tournament statistics and the Marlene Varner, Jane Pendarvis, Mary Frances Freburg, coach's viewpoint to sports reporters Jim Nicholas and and Caroline Serven test a news item for the Alex and Danny Combites.

Upperclassmen fall easily into school routine Once more the doors of B-PC swung open and three hundred nineteen stu- dents crossed the threshold of -opportu- nity. The first few days were more like a get togetherf' as everyone was busy re- newing old friendships, making new friends, and getting acquainted with the freshmen. Soon the upperclassrnen had settled down to the normal routine of classes, bells, passing in the halls, class- es, corridor chats, noontime tete ci t'etes, classes, eighth hour activities, club parti- cipation, classes, athletic games, and the countless social events. By the end of the first Week, we were at home at B-PC again. ,Q- Pi 'Nik ...M Making those big class rings lit was the noon-time activity of Kathryn Reno and Martha Lowe. Looking on were Judy Curtis, Christine Friend, and Lynda Tudeen. The coke machine, where we could get several kinds of pop, drew thirsty students during eighth hour.

They marveled at the confident way that upperclassmen slipped so easily back into a familiar routine. Would they ever belong to the fascinating world which was high school? Then came their day of reck- oning. A political convention, B-PC style, attracted l'delegates from the forty-eight states and the territories- hillbillies, cowboys, cotton pickers, milkmaids, eskimos, and hula dancers. This, of course, was initiation. The 1957 seniors, with pictures of a l953 initiation vivid in their memories, took no pity on freshmen knees, The fresh- men were good sports, though, and the seniors proved that it was all in fun by throwing a party for them fol- lowing the football game that even- ing. After all the comedy and fun was over, one hundred two freshmen walked the halls as full-fledged stu- dents of B-PC. -use-sggy Freshmen classes presented incongruous sights on 5' M v',,.,- Initiation Day si ik N st if s Maybe Roger Campbell is looking up the A real cooI Elvis Presley was Jerry Mason word flamboyant, with his Hound Dog.

Amid the big activities were the little things which constitute the real heart of a school---the intimate atmosphere in the halls before classes, the usual good- natured hubbub of the lunch line, and the relaxed atmosphere in the cafeter- ia during eighth hour, You shared B- PC's successes and its failures, but you had your individual triumphs and dis- appointments, too, like the quarter you finally made the honor roll, the morn- ing you rushed to the bulletin board to check the play cast list---and your name wasn't there.

Although Mr. Touchdown was the prayerful plea of B-PC fans, l'Our Boys Didn't Shine That Night, and we came out on the wrong end of a 340 score.

The sopho- mores brought to our attention the serious side of Christmas by their pre- sentation of the religious play, The Other Wise Man, at our Christmas as- sembly. Following the assembly, the students were guests of the faculty at a party in the cafeteria. The day's activities were highlighted by the an- nual Christmas Dance that evening, putting everyone in the spirit for the holiday season, Nancy Dimmitt and Hugh Walters enioy dancing to the music of Speed Roberts' band and listening to Mrs. Fred MuIIigan's singing at the Christmas dance.

On stage, the cast members encountered many comical situationsAriValry and jeal- ousy over parts, the disappearance of the playbooks the first day of rehear- sal, a set of comically cr-ossed-up high school romances with a capital R, or stagestruck heroine, the appearance of a once famous but now forgotten stage star, friction between the faculty, and, to top it all off, a romance tor the director herself-situations probably only too real to the juniors after three Weeks of rehearsing. However, the pro- blems were worked out and the fic- tional characters' play was a big suc- cess, just as Curtain Going Up Was a real triumph for the juniors.

More disappointing than the game was the loss for the season of Co-Captain Tom McGrew, who developed rheumatic fever the day before the game. After the first defeat, the Spartans bounced back against Valley, 18-0, with Hugh Walters leading the attack. The following week the B-PC offense scored three touchdowns, only to see the Cuba Cardinals score four and win, 27-20, in the last minute of play. Next the Spartans travelled to lndustry for a conference game and whipped their hosts, 33-12. Iim Hughbanlcs ran 81 yards for the final score and longest run of the year. Continuing their winning ways at VIT, our boys stung the Hornets, 32-0, to spoil their homecoming. Iim Sperry scored twice for the Spartans.

The team lost the final two non-confer- ence games, bowing to Macomb, 14-6, and Abingdon, 31-13, lan Hensley was se- lected the most valuable player and was the offense standout for B-PC.

They lost their first two games, being defeated first by Valley, then Lewistown. Ordinarily a team that suffered defeat twice in a row might lose their courage, but not our fighting Cadets. They came back and defeated Industry by one touch- down. Then their luck changed and the following two games, played with Macomb and VIT, were won by our -opponents. However, both games were good games well fought. Coming back again after two straight defeats, our junior varsity triumphed over Cuba's HB squad.

The Spartans traveled to the Roseville Tournament and brought home the third place trophy, beating Valley in the consolation game. In the county tournament BPC was de- feated in the first round by Bardolph, who went on to cop the crown. On their way to the conference title, .the Spartans beat Lewistown for the first time since l949, Cuba, Valley, lndus- try, and Astoria twice, and V.I.T. once.

The Spartans got off to a fly- ing start by beating Astoria in the first game but were forced to yield to Industry their second game before coming back to win an easy victory fro m Abingdon. Meeting Industry again in the first round of the Olympic Conference Tournament, the Spartans came out on top to advance to the semi-finals, where they lost out by one run to the Lewistown Indians. In their second gam e with Abingdon, the Spartans were forced to bow, but then went on a winning streak to win over Valley and Industry in the last two games of the regular conference sea- son. Although the Spartans had hoped, because of their season's successful record, to win the District T-ournament, they were beaten in the first round by Glasford. Intramurals and cross-country give more boys a chance at sports All B-PC boys are given a chance tc participate in sports through the eighth period intramural program in charge -ot Mr. Camp- bell. Regardless ot the weather, there is al- ways some sport in progress. Good weather otters the boys a chance to brush up on their baseball and football, while the gymna- sium becomes their playground tor the winter sports ot ping-pong, wrestling, volleyball, bowling, and basketball. Over sixty boys took advantage ot this extracurricular activity clur- ing the year and found the time well spent. Cross-country, a newly added tall sport, conditions team members tor long distance running. Taking part in several competitive meets this past year, the cross-country team built up enough interest that the sport pro- mises to become an established one at B-PC tor all our tleet-looted cindermen.

Having en- tertained the community Weekly dur- ing the months of Iuly and August, the band was ready for its perfor- mance at the Prairie City Homecom- ing, which ended the summer sched- ule. With a crash of cymbals, a roll from the drums, and a fanfare of trum- pets, the high-stepping majorettes strutted across the goal line, leading the B-PCHS Marching Band in the ini- tial performance of another marching season. The beauty supplied by the twirlers, the music by the band, and the humor by the clowns made the half-time shows the best ever. The highlight of the marching season was the Homecoming parade.

One of their first activities, an exciting slumber party, gave the members an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Among those that followed, dads saw their daughters in a new light when they were entertained informally on Daddy Date Night, While mothers enjoyed the more formal atmosphere of the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Boy friends were included, too, in the Valentine Dance, at which Mr. Heartthrob and Miss Sweetheart ot 1957 were selected. On the more serious side, the members participated in National FHA Week and Civil Defense Week, and sent Care packages to Europe. Participation in these activities earned tor the girls points required for eligibilty to make the spring tour.

Keeping within the budget, they provide our capable teachers, able administrators, and adeauate and modern facilities. Blaclcetopping on the playgrounds at two elementary schools and the high school's parking lot is just one tangi- ble product ot their hard work. We know from experience that the board will always be backing us, helping the school and community work out their common problems. Tv District No. l7O's Board ol Edvcation is made up of responsible citizens: Eldon Wheeler, farmer from Lee township, Kenneth Curtis, farmer lrom Greenbush township, Acting President Clarke Sperry, farmer from Bushnell township, Ralph Mead, grocer from Prairie City, Wayne Melvin, farmer from Walnut Grove township, and Secretary Delbert Welch, factory superintendent from Bushnell. Not pictured is George Alexander, president, who was ill at the time the picture was taken, E. - can Mr. Renwick receives many phone calls during the course of a busy day. This call appears to be a pleasant one. Superintendent's office handles finances of district The power behind School District l7O is Superintendent of Sch-ools, Mr. Renwick. Busy as he is fulfilling his executive responsibilities in the district, he is never so busy that he loses the personal touch which makes him close to faculty, students, and parents alike. Mr, RenWick's duties include the presentation to the board of the school's and cornmunity's common problems. He also works out operative and ad- ministrative problems, making visits throughout the unit, re- ceiving business callers, and conversing with parents. Seldom Without his big smile, Mr. Renwick is a familiar figure at the assemblies and pep meetings and in the halls. Donna Tracey, efficient secretary to the superintendent, performs her duties with quiet ease.

Entrusted with the development of his teen-age charges, Mr. White encour- ages them to rely -on their own judgment and resourcefulness, but encourages them to come to him whenever they feel need for his help. Besides being an efficient administrator, he is a capable teacher. He also supervises the adult educa- tional program, which has been so beneficial to those adults of the community who have taken advantage of it. Admired and respected by faculty members and townspeople, Mr. White skillfully handles the sometimes tedious problems that confront a principal. l Juniors learn how to use the library for a term paper assignment.

Here, Evelyn Stoller pins up an appropriate clipping. To be an effective participant in this precious democracy of ours, one must be able to read with understanding what is printed, to communicate his thoughts to others with precision, and to interpret intelligently what is communicated to him. The goal of our English department is to cultivate these skills of communication. To that end, students study the old fashi-oned fundamentals, such as sentence analysis and diagramming, spelling, mechanics, and vocabulary, as Well as organization of thought, techniques of writing a theme, and variety of sentence and paragraph styles. Literature, the record of man's thoughts and feelings through the ages, as studied at B-PC, becomes the background for understanding man's great emo- tions and his pattern of behavior.

Social Science, Driver Train- ing Spanish What greater accomplishment than to goin ability to speak fluently in another tongue! Here LeAnn Wagle and LaVerne Fryrear concentrate on Spanish verb con- iugations. JOHN BROPHY, M.S. of Ed. Social Science, English, Spanish - history - geography H econo- mics are vicarious passports to a better un- derstanding of America, of economic and pol- itical systems other than our own, and a real- ization that rapid advances in the physical sciences have changed the world so much that conflicts, which are constantly arising, can be solved only when we adjust our emo- tions and attitudes to fit the existing condi- tions which mankind's own ingenuity has created. The world becomes smaller every time a taster jet or an atomic-driven ship takes shape on a drawing board. Man has been so busy creating that he has lost sight of the importance of self-development. The main concern of social science is to advance the human emotions and standards in propor- tion to the many rapid improvements being made in the field of physical science. As the world so rapidly shrinks, students of foreign languages, such as Spanish, prepare to over- come a barrier to understanding before it begins to exist. The Suez crisis sent Don Harlan and Bernadine Worth- ington to the globe for location, of such unfamiliar places as the Gulf of A'caba and the Gaza Strip. t , i X U if Freshman Beverly Baker gets experience with graphs in practical math class. The giant model slide-rule seems to puzzle Ace Rogers as much as his smaller one does. Fore-sighted students take four years of math Whether it is the fundamentals of prac- tical mathematics, algebra, or geometry that a student needs, or the more compli- cated techniques of advanced algebra, sol- id geometry, or trigonometry that he de- sires, a student can get it at B-PC, one of the few schools of its size to offer so complete a program in this field. Realizing that mathematics is one of the basic tools of learning and always emphasizing the practical, our mathematics teachers are zealous in their efforts to provide a good background for the student, regardless of his aim in future life. For the college- bound students, there is ample training in numerical progressions, quadratic equa- tions, logarithms, and the slide rule, as well as in graphing, radicals, and expon- ents. CLARA A'HEARN, JOHN LAWSON, M.E. M.S. of Ed. Dean of Boys Mathematics Mathematics, Science, Driver Education Young scientists secure good background at B-PC Offering four years of science, B-PC is doing its bit to prepare the nation's future scientists. The only required science course, general science, is taken by fresh- men as an introduction to the higher sci- ence courses offered. This general course puts in the minds of the students questions which can only be answered by further study in the science field. Living in such a complex world, we are in constant need of the basic fundamentals taught in biol- ogy, chemistry, and physics. Knowledge which a decade ag-o was considered so technical as to be studied only by spe- cialists is teething-rings for today's high school science majors. W id 1'.

Commerce classes demand concentration With the increasing demand tor business- trainecl people, B-PC has planned its commer- cial courses to prepare students majoring in commerce for a wide variety ot commercial positions. Business-bound students are given an introduction to the commercial courses through the exploratory course, general busi- ness. The junior and senior years are devoted to the perfection ot typing skills, taking dicta- tion in shorthand, keeping a double-entry set of books, and operating certain otlice ma- chines, such as the electric typewriter, the ten and tull key adding machines, the calcu- lator, and the dictaphone.

Look out, here we come, says Mr. Hill as Judy C a m p prepares to get behind the wheel of the dri- ver training rar. Driver training reduces teen-age accidents Driver education is primarily concerned, not so much with the proper driving procedures, but more so with the development ot sportsmanlike driving attitudes. Statistics released by the American Automobile Association prove the value ot driving courses in high schools. There are titty per cent fewer traffic accidents am-ong teenagers who have had driver education, Driver training pays ott in terms ot money for high school boys, too. Many insurance companies all-ow lower premiums for male drivers under twenty- tive who have taken dri- ver training in high school than lor boys who learned on their own. For the nine year period between six- teen and twenty-tive years ot age, this averages a two - hundred - dollar sav- A ing. Education pays divi- dends! Kay Vincent surprises Mr. Lawson with a correct answer to his ques- tion about the parts of a car. 'itil' Q-O 0.0 Physical education builds strong bodies and alert minds Because modern industry has given man more labor-saving devices which cut down his need tor physical exertion and at the same time increase his leisure time, education must be physical as well as academic. Physical education classes provide the opportunity both to improve physical performance and to learn the skills of many leisure time activities, ot which cage ball, speed-a-Way, Wrestling, and judo were new this year. New also this year was the combining ot the boys' and girls' classes for the purpose of learn- ing all the steps of social dancing. Partici- pation in these activities helps to develop quick thinking, physical poise, and emo- tional control. JOAN MACDONALD JAMES SWANSON, B.S. of Ed. M.l.

Serving at the Iunior- Senior banquet and decorating tor graduation were new experiences this year. As We entered our junior year, we began to grasp the responsibili- ties ot an upperclassman. Presenting our first class play, STRICTLY FOR- MAL, and making the cafeteria look like Tara Gardens for our Prom were memorable highlights of this year. As seniors we began to plan seriously tor the future, but we still had time to present our successful play, ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN and spend endless hours on our yearbook. Now that our senior year is drawing to a close, we cling with nostalgia to the memories that will remain in -our lives forever. With the coming ot graduation, we grow increasingly aware that our high school education is, in all reality, the doorway of opportunity which leads to the pathway ot lite. Senior officers and sponsors consider program material for Commencement. Seated are Mr. White, sponsor, Kathryn Reno, treasurer: Dwight Smith, pres identy Leland Price, sponsor, and Mary Lou Jarvis, secretary.

Seniors enter the doorway of the future As the door swings open, so must it close. To most of the students it is closed for only a few months, but to the titty graduates of the class of 1957 its closing signifies an end- ing-and a beginning. The ending of tour wonderful years as high school students at B-PC, of being a part of the big events and the little incidents, makes us sad, yes-but it makes us proud, too. For we realize that high school is the doorway ot opportunity which leads to the pathway called lite and that there will be many, many more doorways to pass through. By successful completion of high school we find that more doorways are open to us and that we are better prepared to choose the right ones. There is many a battle that's yet to be won, There is many a glorious deed to be done. The world is still young! For the youth at its door There are tasks some shall do never dreamed of before . . .
