Mr. and Mrs. Nick- laus have three children and two grandchildren. Their boy, Ted, was voted the best all-around boy in his graduating class at Yale University. AN ENTHUSIASTIC SPORTS FAN, he has been greatly responsible for the high level of sportsmanship and ath- letic endeavor at Palo Duro. He, himself, was an outstanding athlete at Amarillo High School and Texas Tech. He still plays a pretty mean game of golf. A TRUE FRIEND OF ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, Mr. Nicklaus brings out the best in them. He has helped us all to develop our God-given talent in scholarship, service, wisdom, integrity, humility and concern for each other. rea t fiaith jou n Probably all teachers give' their pupils something, but he has given something extra. He has given love and understanding. He has given courage and inspiration. He has given character and humility. He has made us better for having known him. We proudly dedicate this book to the man who for four years has been MR. PALO DURO . . . w. w. mcklAus 7 monument GRection, fgbruarv 27, 1959 CO gym rmm entRAnce pRomenaPe ROBERT R.

Charles Pinky Pinkston personifies the spirit of Palo Duro at the pep rally preceding the Don-Sandies football game which the Dons won 20-8. This is how they keep us smiling. (We earned this free period.) We showed our Don spirit by showing attendance at our bas- ketball game. This is one of our outdoor rallies. Does it hurt much, Joe? JOE FRISTOE gets his leg fixed up by the student trainers. ORVIE NIX clues RON- NIE COVINGTON in on strategy. EDDIE BILDERBACK, NATHAN NA- BORS, and KARLENA FAUDREE enjoy a mixer. But, Karlena, I don't think they're listening. MIKE POE shows DON POWELL how to play ping pong at one of the mixers. What's everyone looking at?? Our Christmas Dance was a big success. Where are they going?? That's the old pep, girls. JERRY SPENCER goofs off on the stage. At least we think he's goofing off, but it might come natural. They're rehearsing for the Senior Follies.

KJELL ANDBERG smiles as he is presented with a cowboy outfit by JOHNNY BUNCH. It was a gift from the Santa Fe Railroad workers. NELSON FORSYTHE and DOUG JONES are on their way to help the cheerleaders (by putting the speaker system up). 64 They won't look so happy second semester. MR. WILLOUGHBY signs schedules while TONY, BUDDY, and JIM look on. Teachers answer call to chow at their Christmas party. Mr. Reynolds receives the V. I. C. sponsor of the year award. CHRIS HARMON is presenting MRS. PUNCH an award from the cheerleaders. V. I. C. 75 getting ready for the Employer-Employee Banquet. WOWI What a chorus line. See them at the Follies. OLENE HENDRIX rehearses for the Senior Follies. 68 Go get 'em girls!! And this is our most worthy op- ponent, says a Tascosa cheer- leader. Come on Big Dons, you can beat em. That's the spirit before the Don-Sandie game. Christmas in Texas was the theme of the foyer of the audi- torium during Christmas. A western Santa smiled at all who passed. 70 Mrs. Griffith smiles beside her decorated door. It must have been funny! STAN- LEY BLACK and RONNIE PIERCE must have been telling jokes. Future Elvises??? Maybe! KENNETH BELL and friends warm up at the Sophomore party. Seen a ghost, LUCY? MR. DESHA smiles beside his door that won first prize in the door decorating contest for Christmas. Don't eat it, please. We'll feed you. KAREN, are you copying? Doesn't anyone have anything to do? JANIE HENLEY, WAYNE HOOD, SANDRA HOLCOMB, and TONY HUCKABAY in a typical class scene? What's your excuse? asks BARBARA HOWRY. Don't look so gloomy, boys. It's easier than it looks. Is it that funny, Sandra? SANDRA VAN WINKLE watches how our paper is made. poRty nineps . . . there's a game after the services tonight. What are you holding?? All TONY wants is your order.

JOHNNY TEBO Quarterback MONTE DEERE Quarterback JIMMY LONG Quarterback RICHARD BARKER Halfback QUICKER AND MORE ALERT than in past seasons, the Palo Duro Dons zipped past the Northwest Classen Knights of Oklahoma City, 26-6. Palo Duro jumped ahead 7-0 in the first quarter and held a 19-6 halftime edge. The Dons added seven more points in the fourth quarter against the school which has one of the larg- est enrollments in Oklahoma. It was an easy game for the Dons as Coach Reddell took mercy on his old high school. RONNIE PIERCE Halfback DONS 26 KNIGHTS 4 TROY DUNN GETS BOUNCED out of bounds late in the Classen game. The Dons had an easy time in the opener, dropping the Knights 26-6. DONS 28 BULLDOGS 21 TRAILING BY 14 POINTS in the third quarter, the courageous Palo Duro Dons battled back to gain a breathtaking 28-21 triumph over the big and powerful Midland Bulldogs for their second victory of the season. Most of the 5,000 fans must have thought the Dons were in for a one-sided licking, but the Dons made a thrilling comeback. RONNIE COVINGTON Halfback MIKE POE Halfback TROY DUNN Halfback LESLIE SLATER Halfback OHNNY TEBO TAKES a belly- cratching tackle to jring down a Bull- log. The Dons beat le Midland Bulldogs a great comeback ictory, 28-21. TONY SIPES END STEVE HOWELL Fullback PALO DURO'S DONS BLEW an 18-0 first quarter lead but managed to rally their forces for a shaky 26-19 victory over the die-hard Carter-Riverside Eagles of Fort Worth. Coach John Reddell's scrappy Dons had the Eagles reeling before a well-entertained crowd who saw the Dons win their third straight. The Dons have not lost a non-district game in three years. DONS 26 CARTER 19 BUDDY MILLER Fullback DON POWELL Center RONNIE COVINGTON RIPS over right tackle for 14 yards with a helping block from Monte Deere. The final score was 26-19, Dons' victory. The Eagles went on to win their district and did not lose another game until they met Highland Park in the State play- offs. BULLDOGS 12, DONS 0 THE BORGER BULLDOGS, headed for their first district championship, dashed Palo Duro's hopes in the district opener with a 12-0 victory. Borger scored once in each half, failing to convert either time, and held the Dons to a scant 44 yards rushing. The Dons went into the game undefeated, and the Bulldogs had lost but one previous contest. The Bulldogs did not lose again until meeting the State Champions, Wichita Falls, in the bi-district playoffs. 'i ' WESTERNERS 13, DONS 8 PLAYING WITHOUT THE USE of key players. Buddy Miller, Beans Barker, Jesse Newman, the Dons dropped their second straight district contest. Lubbock scored in the second quarter following a short Palo Duro kick to the Don's 26. The Westerners scored again in the third quarter when Jerry Parsons intercepted a screen pass by Monte Deere and went the distance. The Dons scored in the fading minutes of the game on a short plunge and on a pass to Larry Cooper to make the final score Lubbock 13, Palo Duro 8. DONS 21 PLAINSMEN 20 PALO DURO'S DANDY DONS fanned the embers of their District 3-AAAA title hopes with a thrilling, upset victory over the Monterey Plainsmen of Lubbock 21-20. The Fighting Dons gave a great exhibition of ball control, determination, and how the extra point rule can make or break a team. Richard Barker and Cagle Davis were the men of the hour as Barker returned a kickoff 80 yards for a score and Davis was credited with the tackle on Monterey's extra point try which would have given the Plainsmen a 22-21 victory. ACING FOURTH DOWN AND NEEDING TWO YARDS on the Monterey 2, Quarterback Monte Deere pitched out to Halfback Ronnie Covington n a pass-or-run option. Covington fought his way to the Monterey 20 p set up a first and ten. The final score was 21-20 in favor of the Dons. CAGLE DAVIS, Guard ROBERT GORE, Guard JAMES AVERY, Center DANNY WILSON Guard NATHAN NABORS Guard DONS 21 BULLDOGS 0 PALO DURO'S ALERT AND poised Dons struck for a heartening 21-0 District 3-AAAA triumph over the larger Plainview Bulldogs on a misty Saturday night at Amarillo Stadium. The Dons were ready to play football from the opening kickoff. They played what was probably their best all around game in dropping a good solid Plainview 11. The most serious Bulldog threat of the evening was thwarted when Ronnie Covington intercepted a Stokes pass on the Dons 10 and raced 90 yards untouched for the Dons third touchdown. Each team lost the ball twice on fumbles. The Dons grabbed two Bull- dog passes and had one of their own swiped. The victory evened the Dons district record at two wins, two losses. BILL MAYES Guard DAVID ALLISON Guard RICHARD BEANS BARKER RUNS INTO A SWARM of Lubbock Western- ers. The Westerners capitalized on an intercepted pass and the hard run- ning of all-state fullback, Coolidge Hunt for a 13-8 victory. DONS 15 HARVESTERS 8 THE DONS RACKED UP their third consecutive district win by downing the Pampa Harvesters 15-8. Richard Barker returned the opening kickoff to the Dons 32. On the second play, Dunn broke into the clear and rambled to the 47 for a first down. Dunn carried again and smashed for nine yards. Monte Deere cleared for the first down on a quarterback sneak. Then, on the most important play of the game. Barker took Deere's hand- off and handed off to Ronnie Covington. Ronnie then passed to Barker who had gone downfield. Barker was alone behind Pampa's secondary and gathered in the pass for a touchdown of 58 yards. Bill Mayes kicked the extra point. After Pampa had scored, the Dons marched 61 yards for the winning touchdown.

EDDIE BILDERBACK Tackle JIMMY MELTON Tackle DONS 0 REBELS 6 ONE OF THE BITTEREST PILLS we have had to swallow all season, was the way Coach John Reddell described the Dons' 0-6 loss to the Rebels of Tascosa High School playing their first year of football. The Dons were favored to win but could never seem to get their offensive in gear. Three costly fumbles, and the failure to score from inside the Rebels 10 when Tascosa fumbled Ronnie Covington's 90 yard quick kick, cost the Dons the city championship. The Rebels scored late in the fourth quarter on a reverse that caught the Dons off guard. RICHARD (BEAN BARKER (21) GRABS pass from Monte Dee which set up a first a ten.

DONS 20 SANDIES 8 BOUNCING BACK AFTER A SHAKY START, the 1958 Palo Duro Dons topped off a good season by conquering the Golden Sandstorm of Amarillo High. The Sandies had experienced a strange and troubled year, including a fracas with the Pampa squad and a spying incident which lead to the resignation of their coach. But they played a good game against the Dons who were never able to relax. Coach John Reddell's gridders were the pre-season choice of the district coaches, whereas the Sandies were the pick of Sports writer Putt Powell. The Dons finished in a tie for fourth place; the Sandies finished next to last. It was a great way for the twenty-two seniors on the Dons squad to end their high school football careers.

At times they showed signs of brilliance as in the first game with Mon- terey when they scored 81 points. At other times nothing seemed to go right—as in the second game with Monterey or the second game with Dumas. All in all it was a good season with the Dons winning 14 while losing 12 and placing fifth in the district. Coach Tom Gilley's Cagers led indi- vidual game statistics in four departments. Most points per game 81 Most field goals per game 38 Most free shots per game 27 Most fouls per game 28 The Dons finished the season with two great victories over A. H. S. and Plainview, using their famed full-court press in both. They were an exciting hustling team and showed great promise for next year.

The action occurred in the Palo Duro-Dumas game which the Dons won 65-49, to preserve their record of never having lost an opener. Jumpin' John Hover leaps high in an effort to deflect the ball from the hands of Sandie co-captain Ken Grenewald. The action took place in the Don-Sandie clash which Palo Duro won 60-59. Bill Kiser led the Don attack with 14 points while Bryan Bray bagged ten points to further the Don offensive. In a game marred by fouls, the Dons fell to the Plainview Bulldogs at the Palo Duro gym. A total of 43 personal fouls, 25 on Palo Duro, was called in the game. Three Don starters left the game with five fouls. Kenneth Day grabbed scoring honors for the Dons with 16 points. Bill Kiser with 15 was right behind Day. Trailing for the duration of the game, the Dons fell before the deadly attack of the Borger Bulldogs. Steve Carter and Brian Bray led the Don scoring attack with 12 points each. Ronnie Covington tossed in nine points to further the Don cause. Dons 52-Borger 61. Bouncing back from defeat at the hands of Borger, (not pictured) Palo Duro ripped Monterey Plainsmen 81-66. Ken Day and John Hover tied for scoring honors for Palo Duro with 13 points. In a game marred by 44 fouls of which 23 were committed by Palo Duro, the Dons settled their cross-town rivals, Tascosa Rebels, 51-34, at Palo Duro's gym. The Dons were paced by Ken Day who sank 18 points. Bill Kiser (44) and Steve Carter (24) aided the Palo Duro attack with eight each. (Center) Ken Day makes a Don score as a Lubbock player tries to block the shot. A full court press completely demoralized the favored Westerners during the third quarter. The Dons went on to win 52-43. (Right) In a contest fought tooth and nail, the Dons beat the Northwest Classen Knights of Oklahoma 57-55. That go-boy Richard Barker tossed in 16 points for the Don scoring honors, while Ken Day netted 15 to aid the Palo Duro score. The B-team basketball team had a good season this year despite some ups and downs. Sonny Maxwell (20) looks on during the Chicos-Sandie game. The Chicos lost the game 63-59.

GOLF ART McKAY Golf Coach ■10 M W� Mike Archer and Robert Bonner, both seniors, were elected by their teammates as co-captains of the 1959 Palo Duro golf team. They have been strong players for the last two years. The golf schedule, acording to Coach Art Mc- Kay is as follows: Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, March 13-14, and the Odessa Regional meet, March 20-21. The linksters also played their sec- ond district match, April 4, here in Amarillo and participated in the Sandie Relays the 10th and 11th. The final district match was played the 18th at Pampa. For the first time Amarillo golf teams entered the Red Raider Relay at Lubbock April 24-25. The top two district teams and the top two individualists participated in the final regional meet at Odessa May 1-2. The golf team played local matches February.

Palo Duro, in the first match in Don history, did well considering the experience of the Amarillo High School wrestlers. Coach Bailey felt that more work would be necessary for a successful team. Palo Duro finished, in official wrestling competition, last this year. The Sandies and Tas- cosa tied for the crown with identical 5-1 records. Boy's Ranch was 2-4 while the Don matmen lost all six starts.

TENNIS Twenty-two candidates have reported for this year's tennis team according to net coach Gil Desha. This is the largest number of participants on any Don tennis squad in the four years of competition. The net men are paced by senior letterman Jerald Oakerson who is to play in A singles. Other lettermen are Channy Jones, junior, B doubles; Patsy Desha and Gloria Reynolds, seniors, girls B doubles; Clarissa Raef, sophomore, will play in girls' B singles. Other positions on the squad were undecided when this annual went to press. The squad will participate in ten meets this season. For the first time in Palo Duro history, official tournaments have been scheduled for the Palo Duro courts. The Dons will play Clovis Feb. 16 and Hereford on March 25, on the home courts. This year's team lacks experience and depth due mainly to the number of newcomers to the team. 198 SCHEDULE FOR TOURNEY PLAY Feb. 26—Clovis—P. D.
