This brainstorm sprang from the ideas we had absorbed at the A M Workshop. There we learned that the new trend was to follow the layout patterns of the national pictorial magazines such as Look and Life. We decided to go all the way and make our 60 Panther as nearly like a magazine as we, inexperienced, could make it. We had two main reasons for wanting to do this. In using the magazine format, we felt that we could present this record of your school year in a fresh, lively way. Also, this format could provide for our staff member s what the traditional type yearbook fails to do, teach usable journalistic skills. Once the entire staff had accepted the idea and even become enthusiastic about it, we set to work. Whenever possible, we planned the features around a central activity, trying to catch the heartbeat, the life of FSHS. The rules we had always followed for our yearbooks were often of little or no use in compiling our magazine. With Life as our guide, we discarded the traditional yearbook rules and slowly (and sometimes painfully) formulated our own. Many times the problems we encountered seemed impossible to overcome . A few of our staff members decided that yearbook work was not for them and left our ranks. Our camera became more and more tempermental and would work only spasmodically, and Mr. McAllister continued to pile books and other stock into our already crowded stock room. In spite of all of this, we managed to complete our I960 Panther . In some respects, it falls short of our expectations, but on the whole, we believe we succeeded in what we tried to do. Here is your Panther I960, it is about you and for you. . . we hope you like it. 6 NEW TREND Although Mr. McAllister smiled when he registered the many new students, behind the smile was a headache brought on by the consequentially crowded conditions. ANOTHER YEAR BEGINS Once more Fort Stockton High School comes to life. The halls echo the talk of400or more students. But the preparation for the '59-' 60 school year began in the middle of August. The band began its practices; the football team started its workouts; and the Panther Staff gave its autograph party. Mr. Mac has always had trouble with registration, and this year it was even worse with the flood of new students. He might not have got through without the able assistance of Mrs. Faulkenberry, his newly-added secretary. The many clubs are reorganizing, and officers for the coming year are being elected. The Science Club is larger than ever, and other organizations such as the Player's Club, the Spanish Club, and Library Club are forging ahead. Not many days passed until the students relaxed into their bad habits, such as leaning against the cars, and never cracking a book. Yes, the 1959-60 school year is really under way in Fort Stockton High School. 8 YEAR BEGINS continued The annual staff began its operations even before school itself began. Mrs. Faulkenbury, the new principal's secretary, was given quite an initiation as she helped with registration. 9 Doing what comes naturally (and what is against school rules), girls lounge around on parked cars waiting for the bell to ring.

READY AND ABLE CHEERLEADERS Sponsor: Mrs. Hayter True success of a school's athletic program is determined by a smoothly functioning triangle consisting of an able coaching staff, a well-balanced team, and a faithful, spirited student body. If the student body was not a faithful and spirited one, dedicated to the advancement of the team and the school as a whole, it was not the fault of our cheerleaders. They were not only faithful and spirited, but ready and able. Ma Hayter, the faithful sponsor, gave generously of her time and effort to advance the spirit of the entire student body. She has worked enthusiastically for six years with F.S.H.S. cheerleader s. Due to a back injury early in the season, Brian Gilley, the fifth elected cheerleader, was able only to participate in afew of the cheerleaders activities. He was replaced by alternate Lou Fromme, who did an excellent job.

Because of this method the whole school is one of relaxed students with a respectfor the conscientious profs. Mrs. Sallie Buster Despite this air of informality, Fort Stockton English High School has a high scholastic rating and is one of the harder schools in the area, which can be vouched for by the new students. Although the students sometime complain of overwork, they do not realize the many extra hours spent by the teacher s sponsoring clubs, grading papers, chaperoning dances and other activities taken for granted by the students and their parents.

To be a member of this organization, girls must be enrolled or have been enrolled in home economics cour ses, and when one belongs to this club, she has a state and national obligation to meet. The F.H.A. has as it primary purpose the improvement of girls in the way they most need it, but it is done in such a way that is considered fun to participate in this club. Practicing for a party, Viola Villalba, Beverly Hardy, Esther Medina, Lydia Urias, and Prissy Banda set a fancy table. F.H.A. OFFICERS: (1. to r.) Historian Patsy Smith, Vice-President Bonnie Eaker, President Irene Rodriquez, Secretary Shirley German, Reporter Ann Newton, Parliamentarian Oly Urias, and Treasurer Dorothy Holguin. F.F.A. SWEEPS SHOWS Exercising their creative ability, Isabel Banda, Wanda Baker, and Emma Velasquez also increase their wardrobe. It seems that dish washing would just come naturally, but Yolando Carrillo and Emily Crabb learn the correct way to do even this everyday chore. This year we have another outstanding F.F.A. Chapter in long line of many. The stockpile of ribbons won by prize sheep sponsored by this organization and its members has been continually growing. This years main contributor is Richard Powell, a sophomore who practically sweeps every show he attends. Jerry Whitfield has also made quite a name for himself at these many shows all over Texas. The success of these and other F. F. A. students reflects the effort made by Mr. White, the sponsor of this organization, in making Future Farmers of America. Serving well as a home-on-wheels, the F.F.A. bus is loaded once again by Mike Key, Ismael Bueno, George Reeves, Stanley Patter son, Milton Puckett, and Eleno Sanchez. 25 VOCATION continued Don Forguson, Joaquin Banda, Reporter David Carter, Roger Boyd, Richard Scroggins, and Tom Tompson mark the F.

FORT STOCKTON WEATHER LIKE A WOMAN Fort Stockton, like most of the State, has four seasons. The only difference is that Fort Stockton frequently has all four in the same day. The only other thing that changes as much and as often as Fort Stockton weather is a woman. It ain't safe to predict either one . It snows in Fort Stockton every Winter, much to the dismay of poor defenseless girls and teachers. ■ CONGRATULATIONS Campbell SENIORS Electric and from Furniture Kerr’s Parts Hotpoint Appliances and Salvage Company G E Air Conditioning-Complete stock of home furnishing Located on 623 N.

NEW WORLD The Freshmen of 1959-60 came intoF.S.H.S. in full force, boasting some 118 graduates from Junior High. Continuously growing, they now have some 130 members in their class. Coming into high school, this apprehensive group was faced with many new tasks, such as going in back doors, sitting in the back of the auditorium during assemblies, and cleaning out fishponds. However, the most important adjustment was getting accustomed to the routine of high school life and settling down to some serious work. FOR FRESHMEN Not discouraged by this new and different environment, the Freshmen eagerly entered the various school activities. Not only did they enter the many activities, but they became an integral part of them. Five of the ten on the volleyball squad were Freshmen. The Science Club roster showed that about 75% of its members were Freshmen. Of those making the first semester Honor Roll, 32% were F reshmen.

And it is open season on all males as the gals take full advantage of Twirp Week. Some of the more aggressive females get up the nerve to ask that dream in their third period class for a date. Others take a cute Freshman or two to make their social debut at the local movie. The girls even subject the objects of their affections to the indignity of slavery. . .making them carry their masters' books and wear crazy get-ups. . .and no Emancipation Proclamation will save them. Some seem to enjoy watching a slave toil, others tend to look upon them with sympathy. 37 PROCLAMATION continued However, even the darkest cloud has a silver lining, and the boys get their revenge the next day as the girls serve their masters--performing such tasks as shoe wiping and locker cleaning, The whole mad week is topped off by a gala Sadie Hawkins Dance. Prizes are awarded for the best costumes . Winners this year were Sharon (Mammy Yokum) Fincher and (Hell-Raisin') Hayes Parker, first prize, and Sally Jones and Eddie Pfiester, second prize.

This tabloid, which sums up the happenings of the preceeding two weeks around the campus, is known to its readers as the Tumbleweed. It is published for and by the students of our school. Several new columns made debuts in the Tumbleweed this year. This I Like, a column written by the teachers, proved very interesting to the students because through it the teachers pointed out the good side of FSHS as they saw it. The Blackboard Jungle and Around the Campus were two new columns which gave the inside story about the many different facets of FSHS. Working up their articles are (1. tor.): assistant sports editor, Petra Baiza; news editor, Pat Holleman; and reporters, Josephine Pina, and Shirley Price. The Tumbleweed is just off the press, and (1. to r.) Jerry Tyler, feature editor; Roy Pena, sports editor; Don Smith, circulation manager; and Sharon Johnson, reporter, deliver the papers. PFIESTER MOTOR COMPANY CLASSES ELECT FAVORITES DODGE - PLYMOUTH DODGE TRUCKS SIMCA P.O. Box 5 Fort Stockton, Texas Each year when the campus favorites are elected each class also elects its own favorites. They are nominated in the same manner as the allschool favorites--with a petition consisting of ten names. This year there were four nominated from each class. These fortunate students then became the object of an election to proclaim the outstanding boy and girl of each class. Those receiving this honor were announced as such at the Favorites Dance in February. Reaction to their achievement was completely natural to anyone being named favorite of his class. There were smiles of pride and looks of disbelief. Those who lost were disillusioned, but good-naturedly expressed congratulations to their winning opponents.

Some ninety-four m e m b e r s, under the able direction of Jim Pollard, made up the most outstanding band in our district. OF THOMPSON’S RESTAURANT The Panther Band thrilled the hearts of the townspeople as they put on the terrific football half-time shows. The band also showed that it could put on a good show under almost any-condition as at the last game of the season in a cold icy mist it marched before the very few who braved the freezing weather to see the game. The climax of the marching season was the marching contest in Odessa. The band won a first division and was unofficially declared one of the best marching bands of the day. Outstanding Band Freshman Gaye Vickrey also won two twirling medals. After marching contest the band immediately began working for concert contest. Many hours were spent in preparation for this all-important event. The band even traveled to the Sweetwater Band F e stival hoping to receive some helpful criticism so that they might be better prepared for contest. The preparation paid off. In Odessa the band received a first division in concert and a second in sightreading. The Panther Band emerged the outstanding band in class AA, the only one winning a first in concert and in marching. In addition to the activities of the band as a whole, fifteen members of the band under the direction of Mr. Pollard, formed a small ensemble on their own. They called it the Stage Band and were good enough to be featured at concerts, basketball games, club meetings, and dances. The Stage Band, not pictured because of camera failure, exists primarily for the enjoyment of its members. That it provides entertainment for others is a fortunate result of the hours it spends in practice. 48 Joan Danielson, senior, won a 2nd division Sharon Lee, another senior, also in solo twirling and a 1st with the ensemble. won a 2nd and a 1st division . Sophomore Elizabeth Vickrey won a 1st division in solo twirling as well as in an ensemble. Another sophomore, Marsha Wilson, also won two 1st division ratings. 49 BIG DEAL continued PANTHER CLARINETS Carey Page Joe Ben Walker Chuck Oswalt Tom McKenzie Roy Pena Sam Pfiester Carolyn Rankin Josephine Gonzales Kay Baker Martha Nicks Louise Millei Dina Lara Carroll McFadden Barbara Houlette Penny Owen Amelia Holguin Margaret Sleeper Shirley German Ida Pena Anita Sanchez Ann Newton Bobby Stone Ronnie Ray Beverly Wilson Howard Peoples Sharon Lee Jackie Shugart Barbara Hatcher Jean Hillin Beverly Hardy FLUTES Joan Danielson Rozan Grogan Tori Tracy Nancy Baumgardner Sandra West Judi Bates Suzie Rowe Carolyn Rankin Melody McKenzie Vickie Carter OBOE Dorothy Duncan BASSOON Elizabeth Vickrey SAXOPHONES Buddy Bowers Dub Whittenburg Fred Garcia Bonnie Eaker Ernestina Pina Robert Sellars Eddie Pfiester Marva Dell Tyler Melba Valenzuela Marsha Wilson Janice Beene Amelia Subia 50 HORNS TROMBONES DRUMS Anne Bartlett Gaye Vickrey Mike Childers Mary Margaret Baker Marjorie Johnson Carole Whittacre BARITONES Butch Taylor Jerry Smith Michael Hardy Tom Hardy BASSES Tony Brons Terry Carpenter John Armistead Bill Crump Robert Baker Ricky Aaron Gary Rolls Rusty Ball George Crone Jackie Graves Randy Williams CORNETS Kirke McKenzie Ray Martinez Z.

If one is willing to experiment a little, he can come up with some very strange effects. And sometimes strange effects come by accident. On this and the following two pages are shown some of the experiments and accidents that Panther Staff photographers are responsible for. Texas PICTURE PLAY continued When placed right-side-up this down-angle shot is a muddle of human ana -tomy; up-side-down, it is even more so. This picture looks like a double exposure, but it's not. . .it's a triple exposure. But this particular multiple exposure, unlike others the photographers took, was not an accident. It was an unsuccessful experiment. 54 This was supposed to be a picture of a student seen through falling leaves. As you can see, the i d e a didn't quite materialize. A somewhat mysterious effect resulted here. One of the photographers took a picture of the reflection he saw in the inside of a library window.

Huckaby, Superintendent of Fort Stockton Schools,has much to occupy his mind as he sits pensively in this office. THE ADMINISTRATION DECIDES; THE PUBLIC WATCHES Fort Stockton is at this time in its history a rapidly growing city. As the city grows, so does the school system; and as the system grows, so does the amount of administrating necessary to keep it functioning properly. Growth brings shortage; shortage of money, space, and personnel. This shortage must be met through the plans and actions of administrative bodies, and doing it is seldom an easy matter. The greatest task presently at hand for the administrators of our school system is that of constructing a new high school. This single but enormous task brings with it many new social, technical, and economical problems. Where shall the new school be located? What materials are best to use in constructing it? Busy secretary to the superintendent, Lynda Falkner receives the cafeteria receipts for the day from Merry Ryan, cafeteria manager . Should it be air-conditioned ? These and many, many other perplexing questions must be answered. Many of the most important questions must be given answers by a group of citizens knows as the School Board. And before these citizens can answer the questions with any degree of success, they must spend hours and weeks studying them. Since the planning of the new high school began, four new member s took the place of as many whose terms had expired, and these had to catch up with things that had been developing for months. And while the administrators make their important and unimportant decisions, the public watches and approves or disapproves. It is upon Mr. E. V. Tripplett, business manager for the Fort Stockton schools, and his secretary Minnie Lou Simpson that the burden of keeping-up with the money falls. 57 ADMINISTRATION continued It is from the office of principal Ken McAllister, who is assisted by a very able secretary, JeanFaulkenberry, that the rules, regulations and decrees that govern life at FSHS are issued. For many years this building has safely guarded Fort Stockton’s money. It is now being replaced by an ultra-modern structure that was designed for the convenience and use of its many customers. THE PECOS COUNTY STATE BANK in Progressive Fort Stockton 58 Mrs. Dorothy Weddle, guidance director for Fort Stockton schools, not only gives every imaginable kind of test, she also interprets them and listens to student problems. As school nurse, Mrs. Doris Baumgardner checks eyes and ears, heights and weights, and gives emergency first-aid treatments. Workmen of King and King Construction Company start work on the Pecos County State Bank s new $273,000 home. The structure, which is located between Fifth and Sixth Streets on North Main Street in downtown Fort Stockton, will have about 9,000 square feet on its main floor and another 7,000 square feet in the basement. The bank will offer drive-in banking, one of the additions to the well-known service that has made the Pecos County State Bank grow throughout the years. 59 Proudly totaling their winning scores are the Junior Class officers, Vice-President Jimmy Win-terstein. Secretary Ouida Kay Barker, President Karen Carter, Parliamentarian Colin Mackenzie, and Sponsor Carroll Schoenewolf. Jimmy Winterstein acted as president during the last three busy months of school when Karen Carter withdrew and give up the presidency to move with her family, only to return to FSHS within a week. The girls tried their skill at basketball during Intra-mural sports and the referees called the games in risk of life and limb. The boys found out that volleyball, while sport compared with football and basketball, strenuous work. 60 ES COMPETE FOR INTRAMURAL PLAQUE This year saw the first institution of the Intramural Program for the Fort Stockton High School. This program, designed to create spirit and clas s competition, seemed to at least meet with partial success. The program as set up by the Student Council consisted of girls1 and boys' volleyball, basketball, class assemblies, and the College Bowl. The Junior Class excelled in the sports competition, winning both divisions of basketball and volleyball. The Freshmen Class placed first in the class assemblies, judged by members of the faculty, and the Junior s placed second. In the College Bowl, the battle ol the brains, the seniors placed fir st; Juniors, second; Sophomores, third; and Freshmen, fourth. The Juniors, winning first place in the entire program, received a plaque.

SPIRITED, SOPHISTICATED SOPHOMORES Few classes that have entered F.S.H.S. have shown the spirit and enthusiam that has been shown by the 1959-60 Sophomore class. Its spirit and enthusiasm is reflected by the number of activities in which they participate, the academic standard of the class as a whole, and the number of socials it gives and attends. This above-average class succeeds is almost every project it attempts, and despite some untasteful antics by a few members, has maintained a good reputation for itself. As Freshmen it received a plaque for the first-place assembly and received another plaque for outstanding work in the United Fund Drive. This year one of its most outstanding accomplishments is the number of Sophomores winning fir st place in the local Science Fair .

Golf, that popular outdoor game that originated in Scotland some five hundred years ago, has come to F.S.H.S. for the first time as an organized team sport. This feat was largely brought about by the efforts of Mr. Ken McAllister our principal who is somewhat of a golf enthusiast himself. The all-male team started practicing about a month before the district meet which was held in Crane on April 12. The boys and Mr. McAllister could be seen practicing every af- ternoon that the unpredictable West Texas weather would allow. In spite of their late start, the boys placed third in the district meet in Crane, --quite an accomplishment for their first season. Mr. McAllister hopes that the relative success of his team will boost interest to the extent that F.S.H.S. golfers will practice on their own during the summer months, so that they may make an even better '61 team. Ken McAllister is confident that he will make it this time, but Roy Pena seems less optimistic. BEN FRANKLIN 5 10 CUNNINGHAM’S FURNITURE • APPLIANCES Great Season 205 N.

Regular monthly meetings are set up and officers elected, and all this organization leads to informal, relaxing, and even educational pursuit of more knowledge about the two subjects. All library assistants are automatically members of the library club, and anyone else who is interested may join.

This club, headed by three able sponsors and an executive staff of four, is one of the most active organizations throughout the school. Its membership includes more than 80 students, and many from this group enter a project in the local Science Fair. This fair, started four years ago, i s looked forward to by students who spend time, money, and energy in hopes that they might receive the honor of being chosen to go to the regional Science Fair in El Paso. Because the El Paso trip is financed by the Science Club, competition runs high.

FSHS MAKES GOOD INTERSCHOLASTIC SHOWING This year as in previous years the outstanding students in each department spent much extra time in preparing for Interscholastic League competition. Typists and stenographers took speed test after speed test. Students in slide rule and number sense worked hundreds of problems trying to improve speed as well as accuracy. Ready-writers and spellers spent much time writing paragraphs and learning to spell long and tricky words. The two poetry readers were coached for hours in preparation for the district competition. At the District Meet only two entries, Nancy Baumgardner in shorthand and Anne Bartlett in typing, qualified for the Regional Meet in Lubbock. Anne went on to place first at Regional and then to win the State crown. Others made good showings at District: in number sense.

Gentlewoman (Elizabeth Vickrey) to the Doctor (Colin McKenzie): I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the dignity of the whole body. Lady Macbeth (Anne Bartlett): Out, damned spot!' Out, I say! PLAYERS PRESENT MACBETH For those students who are interested in dramatics there exists in FSHS an organization known as the Players' Club. Under the direction of Larry Skylstad, this club presents several productions each year. This year members of the Players' Club staged cuttings from Medea and a cowboy version of Hamlet, revised by Mr. Skylstad, at the Shakespearian Festival at Sul Ross College in Alpine. Encouraged by praise from the critics at the festival and the experience they had gained, the FSHS players did themselves proud in their big production, a cutting from Macbeth for Interscholastic League competition. Although the play rated second place at District, an FSHS player received a top honor; Anne Bartlett, as Lady Macbeth, was proclaimed leading actress of the district. 121 PLAYERS' CLUB continued Porter (played by Stephen King): 1 pray you, remember the porter. The stage crew, composed of Marsha Wilson, Mary Margaret Baker, Sharon Fincher, and Tori Tracy, is invaluable in packing costumes and making up the characters.

YOUR ELECTRIC SERVANT 123 BANQUETS FOR BRAINS AND BRAWN Fort Stockton High School goes one step farther than most schools; it honors the brains as well as the brawn with a banquet. This year the P.T.A. gave the Honor Banquet for those who had been on the honor roll at least one semester of the school year, and the Booster Club gave the All-Sports Banquet for those who had participated actively in sports. Contrary to what many people think, scholarship and athletics go hand in hand as was pointed out by the themes of the speeches at both banquets: The Importance of Just Living and It's Not Whether You Win or Lose, It's How You Play The Game. 124 % Mr. Nolan Conner, entertaining M. C. at the Sport's Banquet, recognized all athletics, large and small, and introduced each of the coaches. In their feasting, the honor students showed the same concentration that made it possible for them to maintain high scholastic averages. $ 125 DO-RE-MI The FSHS Choir, which had an average of forty members throughout the school year , proved to be a fairly active organization. It performed for the student body before the Christmas holidays and also before attending the annual regional choir contest in Odessa. In Odessa they received a second division in both concert and sight-reading.

Posters are plastered all over the school, speeches are made, and there is a new kind of friendliness in the air. Attention is turned to the coming election. All wait with a tenseness as the votes are counted, and then everything is over. There are the congratulations and the consolations, but soon school is back to normalcy. 132 . . . the students listen attentively and thoughtfully; then they go to the polls to vote for the candidate of their choice. OUT WITH THE OLD; IN WITH THE NEW Junior cheerleading aspirants show their agility in putting up their posters. Brain power is taxed as never before, as each candidate tries to outdo the other in the originality and artistry of his campaign. 133 The executive committee of the Student Council, made up of President Butch Johnson (standing), Concessions Chairman Barbara Addicks, Treasurer Joan Danielson, Secretary Jackie Graves, and Vice-President Sara Cunningham, form the nucleus of student government in FSHS.

STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTS STUDENTS, One of the most important organizations of the school, the Student Council, strives to represent the students in the best way possible. This representative organization was under the guidance of Principal Ken McAllister and Fred Harral. The Student Council tries to represent the students, provide various social and scholastic activities, and encourage the betterment of school and self. It is the Student Council that sponsors all the school dances and provides 134 Johnson presides over a regular meeting of the Student Council: Secretary Jackie Graves (front row) Pat Holleman, Treasurer Joan Danielson, Nancy Mitchell, Concessions Chair-dicks, (second row) John Rowe, Nikki Kincaid, Sally Jones, Nan Wilmeth, (third row) Jimmy Winterstein, Robert Brandes, Neal Griffith, (fourth row) Vice-President Sara Blair, Martha Lynn Nicks, Gaye Vickrey, Penny Owen, (last row) Eddie Pfiester, and PROVIDES ACTIVITIES, LEAVES NEST EGG activities such as Twirp Week, Dress-Up Day, and the intramural program. The Student Council made the money on which it operated through football and basketball concessions, the selling of personalized school book covers, and the Slave-Sale. By the various projects, the Council was able not only to finance this year's social functions, but to leave some $1200 for next year' s Student Council to begin the year.

Fort Stockton, Texas Money for concessions came in nickles and dimes, but under the management of Barbara Addicks the little bits added up into big business for the Student Council. The intramural program, the Student Council's project for the year, produced a new girls' sport; they called it basketball, but it often took on the aspects of football or soccer. Mr. and Mrs. C. R.

FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS EXCLUSIVELY Being Juniors and Seniors has many distinct privileges--one of those privileges is to attend the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior-Senior Prom. The Banquet, given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors, was held April 26, in the large Community House. At this time the Class Prophecy and Class Will were read, followed by the guest speaker. Superintendent Huckaby. Following the Banquet the Seniors were honored with a dance Under the Paris Skies. In return the Seniors gave the Prom. The boys in their white coats and the girls in yards of net and taffeta passed the time away dancing to the music of the Premiers. 139 JR. -SR. continued Sophomore s were given the honor of serving their superiors at the Banquet and Prom.

In their Freshman year one of the most outstanding achievements was the Polio Drive. This class through v a r i o u s money-making projects, made some $425 for the drive. The class placing second had only $25 or $30 to their credit. Their Sophomore Class Assembly is something they will not soon forget. These students were somewhat afraid of temporary expellment because of scenes championing im- morality. However, the students, a less critical audience, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the assembly. Most everyone noticed a marked improvement in their last two assemblies. Finally, they became Seniors, and graduation came and went before they knew it. For some graduation meant the end of their formal education and the beginning in this rough old world. For others it served as a beginning for more education and a better preparation for the future. 141 SENIORS continued Nancy Baumgardner John Berry Skipper Blaydes Buddy Bowers Jay Bradford Virginia Cooper Stephen Croft Vernon Creech Sara Cunningham Joan Danielson Socorro Duarte Charles Edwards George Fielding 142 After solemnly taking the oath of office, the seniors try their hand in politics on Student Government Day.

The talk of 400 or more students slowly died out. But the preparation began several weeks beforehand. Students began to sweat the finals and teachers started making out their averages. The seniors prepared to leave in a flurry; they received their caps and gowns, sent out invitations, attended parties in their honor, and practiced the commencement exercises. During all of this, plans were being made for the coming year. Mr. Mac made out the schedule for the students of 1960-61, clubs chose new officers and the student body elected its leaders for the coming year. It was not long until the last test had been taken, the last grades averaged, the last report card handed out, and the last diploma issued; then the halls were empty and quiet for the duration of another summer. Finals were the final high school tests for the Seniors; underclassmen can look forward to more in the coming years. They had taken their tests, and they wanted Siler made them work just a little more to 150 Graduating from high school did not just happennaturally.it had to be practiced just like every thing else.

Nan Wilmeth, Editor Vicki Bates, Business Manager CREATION OF A YEARBOOK Those to whom you owe this yearbook and whatever thoughts you have about it are the eleven students and two sponsors who comprise the organization known as the Panther Staff. From August, when a group of five yearbook personnel attended the A M workshop, until late in May, when the yearbook was completed in the after-school lull, the yearbook staff gave of its time, efforts, and ideas to present to the students of FSHS the I960 PANTHER. The Monday night meetings of the organization made up only a small part of the work that went into the annual. Pictures were planned and scheduled at odd hours, write-ups were often done late at night, and ads and yearbooks were sold whenever there was a customer. However, yearbook did not mean all work and no play. In addition to the traditional parties--the Christmas party, held at the beautifully decorated home of Nancy Mitchell, and the victory party at Mrs. Johnson's, celebrating the completion of the yearbook--the Panther Staff initiated this year an --Continued on page 155 153 YEARBOOK continued Nancy Mitchell Senior Editor Typist Tori Tracy Business Staff Writer Suzie Rowe Business Staff Writer Typist Margaret Lauterbach Business Staff Student Index Typist Hayes Parker Assistant Editor Lay-outs Jackie Graves Business Staff Writer Bob Whitson Photographer Lay-outs Staff clown Carey Page Photographer Lay-outs Staff clown Eddie Pfiester Photographer Lay-outs 154 Carroll Schoenewolf Editorial Staff Advisor Mrs. Winnie Mae Johnson Business Staff Advisor YEARBOOK continued Berry Oil and Butane Company Phillips “66” Dealers Phone Ed 6-3101 in FORT STOCKTON Progressive radio for progressive people K F S T 860 on your dial autographing party, which they hope to make an annual affair upon the arrival of the yearbooks each year. To the outsider it may appear that the only reward for the work of a yearbook staff member is a free copy of the book, but the conscientious insider knows that the many things he learns from this practical experience, the intellectual achievement he attains, and the pride that is his in helping to produce the I 9 60 PANTHER is well worth the effort. The formation of our yearbook like the formation of a human being took nine months, and like a human mother we experienced hopes and fears, anxiety and eagerness as we awaited the arrival of the Panther.
