Qedication To Miss MII,DRED BURKE As constantly as travelers turn to the compass for guidance, the stu- dents have turned to Miss Burke for guidance in various school problems and activities. In appreciation of the interest she has always shown toward our class and our school as a Whole, we, the class of nineteen thirty-two, dedicate this twenty- second volume of the Panorama. if MILDRED MARIE BURKE Urder 0 Books I.

The students are indeed fortunate in having a Board of Education which takes such an active interest in all phases of school life. Especially has this Board been generous in supporting the entire music program and in the building up of the library. By its loyalty, sincere co-operation, and untiring efforts, it is succeeding in helping the school accomplish its mission. X I i'- c l +-fbnofama 521 ' Wafhz'n,gtonff Youth of Seen hy et Hzlgla School Student Since this is the Bi-centennial of Washington's birth, we have our attention con- stantly brought to him, the father of our country. We recognize him as the First American-patient and generous-never despairing, although faced by hopeless circum- stances. We recognize him as the man who carried the loosely connected colonies safely through the Revolution. The personality of George Washington, his dignified bearing and thoughtful consideration, not only endeared him to his friends, but also commanded the admiration and respect of his opponents and even of his false friends-for with such are all public men burdened. Washington was always remarkable for his firmness and directness, yet was at all times a true gentleman. Almost all high school students know the facts of Washington's life, so we shall interest ourselves here only in those character- istics which made him First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen. Upon every occasion Washington was a leader. Despite the plentiful myths, which make him seem a little prig, George was a natural, normal lad. He possessed a strong, vigorous body, was a graceful rider and enjoyed sports of all kinds. He fought many sham battles with the boys of I-Iobby's school, in which he was always the leader. In school Washington distinguished himself in mathematics and surveying, but ranked poor in language, spelling and grammar, this fact will undoubtedly solace many a youthful student of today. In spite of those weaknesses, however, Washington was developed into a well educated man, because of knowledge derived from the manifold activities of his youth. Even as a Virginia aristocrat, Washington studied the most cultured people, and endeavored thus to further improve his speech and writing. Although he was not an extensive reader, he was a thoughtful and earnest one, and indulged in solid literature only. What an inspiration this is to a struggling young student of language! Lest we should, in thinking of the hero Washington, forget that there also existed a human Washington, let us look a little further into his life story. After his mother's death Washington went to live with his brother, Lawrence, where he continued his surveying. Here he was disturbed many times by recurrences of an unlucky affair of the heart, developed earlier in his life, for some unknown beauty who caused him much unhappiness. Imagine the sedate Washington, the great champion of American liberty, a woe-begone lover in his youthful days. It is interesting to study him thus and discover that under his learned decorum and reserve he had a heart which beat with warm impulses of human nature. As a man he had his- faults, but they were few, and have been forgotten, as the ages roll on mankind will see nothing but the luster of his virtues and the greatness of his services. Washington had from the beginning a vision of our present day America and served so faithfully to make his vision come true that he well deserves the eulogy of Our First American. The fame of Washington, says John Fisk, stands apart from every other in history. Under all dissensions and amid all the storms of party his precepts and examples speak to us from the grave with a paternal appealg and his name-by all revered--forms il universal tie of brotherhood--a watchword of our Union. Thus, 'mid the wreck of thrones shall live Unmarred, undimmed, our hero's fame, And years succeeding years shall give Increase of honors to his name. -Martha Rive. lfl1'1'1'n X I -32 -Wcmorama fl MILDRED BURKE Foods, Dietetics, Com.

Vfhat is your interest today? Draw up a chair and put your texts aside. The books on these shelves reveal the lives of meek and mighty personages. Out of the green covers, the red covers, the faded covers, the new covers-what a festival to witness these people stepping down in costumes of all ages searching for adventure of both quaint and modern fashion! There are so many old friends in the world of books that it is sometimes hard to decide with which to spend one's time. There are sorrowful ones who have suffered from someoneys thoughtlessness, puzzling ones whose actions are hard to explain, and there are many whose jolly laughter and carefree manners are contagious. We wonder how anyone can ever think any of these people are strangers, at times, we meet our companions, friends, and relatives in these books. Their disguise often deceives us for a long time, but more often we chuckle at their familiar manners. However, these people, who readily submit themselves to provide entertainment upon request, feel forsaken as they sometimes await the student's return in vain. As they watch a group of students rush for magazines, they, no doubt, are saddened at the thought that new friends have been found to take their places. Meanwhile, you, undisturbed, continue enjoying your favorite magazine. As one glances at the students in the library, he may tell by their faces whether they are chuckling over the joke column, figuring out the latest radio hookup, or are deeply interested in a recent story. When the bell rings, the students very reluctantly return their book and magazine friends to the proper places, to leave them until they again have leisure time to spend as they choose. Fourlrcu Q. I Qnoranoa 522' ' The Study Hall Here you may see the study hall after 3:06, when it is very quiet. During the eight periods that make up our daily schedule, however, this room is a scene of action and noise. In this room, which is next to the largest room in the building, many lectures. plays, meetings, and programs are presented. Each Wednesday we have general assembly here. On almost any XVednesday one may see the song leader blush when he walks up to the platform to lead the singing, and hear the students sing lustily after all the announcements have been made. Cn the afternoons preceding football and basketball games, this room is filled with cheers from anxious girls and boys who are being led by Curtiss Tappero and Walter johnson, our student cheer leaders, and Wayne Yonker, our faculty adviser. Who will ever forget the afternoon that this very room was turned into a broadcasting station and the football coach, as well as a famous child prodigy tap dancer, took over thc mike, or the afternoon on which a seeress gave the basketball coach a glimpse into thc future game? Afternoons on which stirring pep speeches were made and when marionettes performed stand out equally vividly in our minds. Many worried faces may be seen in this room at the end of each semester, for it is here that the semester and final examinations are held. Students walk in with that anxious look on their faces and walk out with a sigh of relief, saying to themselves, My, I wonder if I answered that sixth question correctly! Taking everything into consideration, the study hall is a very important room and one which figures largely in our student life. I-'if In' u X 32 Wcmorama -+5 The cf4Pm'!11ze1zi In 1923 our ship came in when the new building was erected. An apartment, consisting of four rooms and bath, was planned and constructed adjoining the foods laboratory. Then our ship left for uncharted seas and we heard nothing of it for two years. But, lo and behold! it came in again in 1925 when the Home Planning Class furnished the apartment. They chose colonial style mahogany furniture and neutral rugs. They made rag rugs for the bedrooms, and curtains for the whole apartment. The large bedroom with a blue and white color scheme has a four-poster bed, dressing table, chair, and desk. The small bedroom has a day-bed and chiffonier. The living room is cozy with its Hreplace, window seat, arm chairs, bookcases, lamps, and gate-leg table. The dining room has a built-in buffet and dining room table with eight chairs. The bathroom is decorated in white. After selecting and arranging everything, the Home Planning Class held open house. When the foods classes of 1931-32 first saw the apartment, they thought they had come to the wrong place. Instead of seeing a properly arranged house, they found that everything was covered-presenting a ghostlike appearance. After a house-cleaning, however, the rooms became like a very comfortable home. Sometime during the year, each girl in the foods classes takes care of it. Besides being a laboratory where students learn home management, the apartment is a scene of many festivities during the year. The faculty banquet is held here, as well as many luncheons and teas. The Cook-Sew Club holds its meetings here also.

With this in mind, the founders of the National Honor Society fixed character, leadership, scholarship, and service as the fundamental virtues most worthy of encouragement. Any member who falls below the standards which were the basis for his election may be dropped from the society by a majority vote of the faculty. It is the honor graduates of this country who are holding the most sought after and highly paid positions. Is it then not worth while to work for distinction and honors? Scholarship Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigation of truth. To be eligible to this exclusive society, a student must have been in the upper one-third of his class during his entire high school career. Service Service, the beginning and end of our education, is interpreted as a willingness to render cheerfully and willingly any service to the school. It may be serving on the staff of the school publications, aiding on committees, helping underclassmen become ac- quainted, guiding visitors or newcomers, standing up for one's school in word and action, or bringing honors to one,s school by untiring effort. We must serve as apprentices before we become masters, being of service to society in later years will be easier if we begin to serve others in high school. Service is the altar of unselfishness on which the best souls of all ages have laid their most precious offerings. It is the altar from which God's best blessings for mankind have flowed. Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be servant to all. Leadership Leadership is interpreted to mean a marked degree of initiative in all activities. It is the personality that blazes the trail for man's upward climb. A student develops leader- ship by successfully holding school offices and other positions of responsibility, by con- tributing ideas that might help in the civic life of the school, and by being the guide for other students. Character Character, the composite of all common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor. A student may gain recognition for character by being prompt and accurate in fulfilling his obligations to his school, by being fair and honest in his class work, by being sincere with his teachers and associates, by possessing such qualities as honesty, reliability, promptness and morality, which are indispensable to the finest young manhood and womanhood, and by upholding the ideals of a christian church whenever occasion affords opportunity.

As implied by its name, this society is a national organization, with charters in forty-seven states of the union. The purpose of this society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. New members are selected annually by a vote of the faculty. The students eligible for membership must possess the above mentioned qualities of scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. Their scholarship ranking must be in the upper one-third of their class, and they must have spent a minimum of one year in the Pana Township High School. Since not more than fifteen per cent of the seniors and five per cent of the juniors are chosen to membership in this chapter, selection as a member is one of the highest honors attainable during a student's high school career. At the beginning of the second semester, thirteen new members-ten seniors and three juniors-were elected to the society. The senior members, selected last year when juniors, are Wilbur Kinsey and Bea Ellen Mercer. The new senior members are: Ruth Corley, Ruth Cummings, Benjamin Hitchcock, Helen Kwedar, Henrietta Parker, James Rice, Martha Rice, Clarice Schafer, Madelaine Trumper, Leona Wintermeyer and Mary Wiss. The new junior members are: Ruth Leighty, Thomas Stokoe and Lewis Tanner. Pins, emblematical of the purpose of the society, are presented to the new members at the annual Commencement exercises. This organization, since it is purely an honorary body, helps to maintain the high standards of our school, serving as a wonderful incentive to the students. Needless to mention, this chapter is the most exclusive and sought-after organization in school, its members are to be congratulated for their success in attaining this goal.

To most of us, travel holds a fascination, and as we gaze at a map, our imaginations travel into the vast unknown. The blue of the ocean brings longing for cool nights of star-dusted magic. Visions of the City of Beautiful Laces, sombre old castles, sunny, seaside playgrounds beckon us on. We long to know better the ruined temples and triumphal arches of the Roman Epoch, the quaint villages of Brittany, and the hundreds of places which hold treasured memories. Unable to travel, I have spent the years since my graduation from Pana Township High School in collecting rare, ancient maps. My collection has grown steadily, and my passion for extending it has become so great that I am willing to take any risk in order to obtain a new treasure. Knowing of my hobby, you will not think it strange that not long ago my attention was arrested by this notice in the paper: l'!Ia.p Collerforsz If interested in antique maps or maps with a history, call at 712 Zuhrigal Street, one fortnight from today. Could there possibly be here in the city a map collection which I had not viewed? Surely the advertisement was a trap. I would disregard it. And yet, perhaps-so, February the ninth found me raising with some trepidation the heavy wrought iron knocker of the door at 712 Zuhrigal Street. Overhead swung a rusty sign bearing the information, Thor Cellini, dealer in maps, charts, and antiques. Presently I heard a key being gratingly pushed into the keyhole. My courage began to ebb, a chilly sensation seized me. I glanced toward the cab which had brought me hereg the driver was slouched down, apparently asleep. I had an impulse to run but just then the huge door swung open. I stood face to face with a dwarfish old man who peered at me in a most disconcerting manner. Good evening, sir, he said in a cultured voice, and bowing graciously, he beckoned me to enter. Click!! The door latched behind us-giving me the feeling a convict must experi- ence as he helplessly listens to the clang of prison doors closing behind him. The hall in which I found myself was but faintly lighted. The little old fellow immediately began trudging down the passage-my grotesque shadow silently, waveringly followed along the wall beside him. The air was foul and possessed that faint, musty odor peculiar to old buildings which have not been properly ventilated. I longed to be out in the open once more, but I could not yield to this momentary impulse. My thoughts fled backward to the closed door behind me-the key to which rested securely in the little man's pocket. My fears and forebodings returned with double force. Was I the victim of some treachery? Upon entering a small room, my host motioned me to a seat. On the wall was suspended a heavy velvet curtain, which he slowly drew aside with reverential solemnity. I gave an involuntary gasp. A map of surprising beauty hung before meg fascinated, my map-thirsty soul drank in the view. The face of this strange old fellow seemed to light up as he gazed fondly on this masterpiece. After a moment's meditation he spoke in a soft, sad voice, I suppose it is only natural for you to wonder how it came into my possession. In Italy, my family was once wealthy, but now -in His shriveled hands went forward, then dropped at his sides in a gesture expressing hopelessness. My map must never, never pass into the hands of one who does not appreciate it. I knew that only a true lover of rare treasurers would risk answering my notice. My map will be yours for a sum of money large enough to Hnish paying my passage back to Italy. This map was drawn by a master Italian artist. A queer legend says that he imparted supernatural powers to it. I cannot attempt to explain it, but certain persons have been able to discern the faces of friends as they look at the map. Twenty- ' 32 Wcmofama -+- Senior Propbeqf As he finished speaking, a slight haze rose slowly before the map. The colors gradually became less vivid.

Tbirly-om' 32 -Wcmorafna FREsHM EN OF 1929 Senior Clary H zlftory Maps! Maps! Maps! Year after year we, the Class of Thirty-two, have traced our courses over routes suggested by the navigators, our teachers. For eight years we searched the map of grammar school life for the goal of Education. After receiving our diploma from that school, we realized that our journey was really just begun. In the autumn of that same year, we approached the high school and knocked for admit- tance. Mr. Brummett greeted us, took us to the navigation room, and there explained that he would be our navigator for the next four years with the other members of the faculty as his assistants. Mr. Brummett spread before us the map of high school lifc We were baffled until he pointed out the course we should choose. After we were led around the building and introduced to the assistants, we realized more than ever how much lay before us. As a carefree group, we Freshmen participated in pep meetings and many other assemblies. When the school promoted a Carnival our class helped out with a Circus. Individually the members of our class were represented in all activities-one of our classmates being selected for a part even in the Senior class play of that year. For our special navigator, we obtained the services of Miss Parkinson, and it was her advice, mainly, that served to keep us from the wrong routes on our maps. For her mates, the class selected Irene Rasler, presidentg Ross Lyman, vice-president, Leona Pazera, secretary, and Wilbur Kinsey, treasurer. Though unseen difficulties Constantly confronted us during the year, we were not to be deterred from our goal-Graduation. After the first lap of the journey was past, we spent three months in various pursuits after which we traced our course back to the school. Sophomores, as a general rule, become quite sophisticatedg we were no exception to the rule. We felt ourselves to be kings and lorded it over the oncoming Freshmen, as our predecessors had taught us to do. When we reorganized for our Sophomore year, the following mates were elected: Tbirty-Iwo c I fdnorama-52' ' ! 1. FRESHMEN or 1929 tStf1l1.01' Clam H zirtory W'ilbur R. Kinsey, president: Benjamin Hitchcock, vice-presidentg and Forrest Tate, secretary and treasurer. Our special navigator for this year's journey was Miss Suedekum who helped us through the shoals and reefs which confronted us as we continued along our way. One outstanding accomplishment of our second year was the development of the Junior Dramatic Club-an organization which has prospered ever since it was organized. School routine was again interrupted by three months of rest after which we returned to take up the third year-a year much more difficult than either preceding year. The students who were thought most competent to lead us through this period were: Ruth Coriey, president, Paul Williamson, vice-president, and Henrietta Parker, secretary and treasurer. 'At our first meeting, we decided to put on a class play and did so successfullyg the performance was entitled Billie. Later in the year, just before the seniors left us, we gave them a farewell party, the Junior-Senior Banquet, which we enjoyed as much as they. Much do we owe to our most ethcient and willing navigator of this year, Miss Mildred Burke. The members of our class have distributed their services to every organization in school, and we hold deepest regards for our classmates and the members of the faculty who have interpreted our maps for us. The Home Coming Dance and the Senior Class Play are the supreme efforts of our last and best year in Pana Township High School. Four years in the high school have made us realize the importance of our life and future. So may we take one last look around through the corridors, in each classroom, up the stairs and gaze longingly on our favorite seats in the study hall-then may the picture remain printed indelibly on our minds as we go forth to higher goals-from this, our real Commencement, 'l'lvirly-lfirwr' xl, 32 -Panorama -+- I , I I Sembr Wz'll We, the members of the Senior Class of 1932, facing the separation from our beloved schoolmates, and being in full possession of sound minds and faculties, do ordain, establish, and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby rendering null and void such former documents as we have seen Ht to make.

This sentiment uttered by Christopher Morley re-echoes in all probability in the thoughts of many who watch the ofhce door leading to the inner sanctuary of P.T.H.S., known as the office. The anxious student, summoned for an interview, regards the empanelled structure with a baleful gleam in his eye, for he knows not the meaning of the summons. Teachers may flit unconcernedly in and out, but the student sees them not. He has eyes only for the door which may lead him to a frantic verbal encounter. When at last his turn arrives, he carefully steps through the doorway, sometimes to have his worst fears confirmed, at other times to be greatly relieved. In the latter case, he makes the return trip with a smile on his face, and with a steady step. Of the many visitors who pass through the office door, the magazine agent is one of the most pestiferous. Hopefully he crosses the threshold and attempts to carry off a sale in a tide of enthusiasm. In the majority of cases our magazine agent passes out of the office with his enthusiasm slightly dampened, for he is one of the many who arrive all too frequently. Another visitor is the anxious parent, who occasionally, like the proverbial March, Goes in like a lion and comes out like a lamb. The parent's inquiries as to his capricious fledgling are readily answeredg the enlightened parent frequently emerges vowing that Johnny or Mary shall stay home more evenings in the future. At least once a year there is an usually great commotion around the office door, a time of hustle and bustle covering a period of perhaps two or three weeks. This is caused by the yearly District Tournament, for which Pana is so famous. Before the tournament begins there is much preparation to insure a successful tournament. Every high school participating must be informed of all of the tournament rules, officials, ushers, ticket- takers and candy sellers, must be selectedg furthermore, the tickets must be taken care of. It is not until the tournament actually gets under way that the office door comes into its own, however. At this time, instead of opening into an office, it leads the way to the information bureau, and is closed and opened many times. During the course of a year, many weighty problems have been threshed out in the room behind the office door, for it is there that the meetings of the Board of Directors are held. These leaders in the community meet regularly to decide upon the ways and means of carrying on the business of the high school, in order to retain the distinction that P.T.H.S. has held for many years-that of being one of the best schools in central Illinois. But who knows what goes on in the office at the interviews, meetings and confer- ences. Besides the principals involved, only the office door knows, and it betrays nothing. If only the silent panels had the power of speech, what tales could be told! What inci- dents related! The door might relate happy tales, sad tales, or perhaps amusing incidents, but alas! We may only surmise as to what it knows. Perhaps in future years some inventive genius will create a device enabling inanimate objects to speak, but until then we shall know nothing of the mysteries which the door guards. So we shall turn from it as we bring our high school life to an end--hoping that the future holds other doors through which we may enter newer and finer experiences.

H istowy Around and around sped the needle of the compass called life. More than one hundred people were riding on the needle and having a fine time. The needle gradually came to a stop and pointed to a beautiful brick structure. We knew that our time to enter high school had come. When we entered, they named us Freshmen. Of course, we thought Freshmen a strange title, but we found Latin and Algebra much more strange. Our wonderful group assembled one day after we had become acquainted and chose Carl Jackson, president, Jacob Schultz, vice-presidentg Maurice Clayton, secretary, and Russel Toberman, treasurer. Miss Parkinson consented to be our guide. We had a great year. If you trace our progress on the map, you will find that we were indeed model Freshmen. The compass needle again spun around, and after three months came to a stop. Our number had decreased to ninety-six, but we were not worried. According to custom, we were named Sophomores. To show our ability to do things well, we elected Thomas Stokoe, president of our class, Neil Vits, vice-president, Herman Stocker, secretary, and Rodell Tex, treasurer. This year Miss Suedekum was our sponsor. The compass needle again made a rapid journey through three months, after we had had a successful Sophomore year, and we returned with only seventy-nine people for our Junior year at school. Our small number, however, is not hindering us in the least. We are represented on the football and basketball teams, in track, in the band and orchestra, in the glee clubs, the operetta, dramatic clubs, home economics club, and the National Honor Society. Junior Jollitiesf' our outstanding event of the first semester, was a great success, and we are now looking forward to the Junior-Senior banquet, as the big event of the second semester.

As the anchor of gloom was lifted the junior-Senior Ocean Liner launched out into the Sea of Merriment. juniors and seniors rushed around madly. Everyone had received a radiogram, inviting him to attend a dinner dance to be held on the Ocean Liner in the gym on Thursday evening, April 14. The gym, in its unique and attractive blue and white decorations, could scarcely be recognized.

More entertainment? Yes! The strains of delightful dance music, such as only Lowry Clark and his orchestra can furnish, drifted to the ears of the passengers. Then, after only a few moments, it seemed that the same de- lightful strains drifted away. The regal event was over and it was truly a voyage to be remembered. Everyone h l . as ore Faculty Parties The members of the faculty had the opening event of the social season when they played a miniature golf tournament early in che Fall. The losers were to entertain the winners at a picnic, which was later held in Kitchell Park. The Mysterious Ten A dinner was given by the Mysterious Ten at the Francis Hotel at Hallowe'en timeg a gay time was had by the group of clowns, witches and gypsies who gathered there. One other party, an Americanization party, was held in the apartment. At this event the members of the Board of Education were the guests. After the naturalization papers of each had been carefully checked, the immigrants of all nationalities were d ' d. . . , a mme Junior Dramatic Club Party On Wednesday night of the week before Thanksgiving, the Junior Dramatic Club gave a Thanksgiving costume party in the library of the high school. Those who attended spent the evening in playing games and dancing, after which delicious refresh- ments were served. Panorama Staff Party Early in April the members of the Panorama Staff and guests went on the trail of a good time at a sleuthing party in the apartment. The evening was spent in tracing footprints and other clues, which led to the solution of the mysterious crime which h d b ' cl. 3 een commute Cook and Sew Club Party The members of the Cook and Sew Club held a Hallowe'en party in the gymnasium late in October. The girls enjoyed a treasure hunt, played various games and performed Hallowe'en stunts. However, the biggest event of the season for the members of the club is yet to come-a field trip to a nearby city some time in May. At that time the entire club will be taken to visit bakeries, garment factories, and other places of interest to students of home economics. The trip this year will probably be made to Springfield.

In our Hrst year of high school, as Freshmen, we received quite a little training in finding paths in that dark, trackless forest of learning, under the direction of Miss Parkinson, Robert House, Harry Sexton, Herbert Curtis, and Mary Rollo, and also we were given courage by the class preceding us, who told us all the things to expect and told us all that they had learned by their experiences. All this aided us to start with great enthusiasm-but with all our knowledge of the forest, we were still a trifle scared, so we selected a veteran guide, Miss O'Loughlin, who guided us in the right paths, two good scouts, Charles Bryson and Harold Roland, and also a very good chief, Eleanor Umpleby. We then faced the terrors of the forest and received many scares. The howling of the wolves QThe Examsj scared us all the most, but we soon overcame that fear. We have had many enjoyable times at parties and school functions around the camp fire and enjoyed our certain extra pleasures such as all phases of music, athletics, and organizations. We Sophomores were well represented in the glee clubs, orchestra, and the band. In athletics our Sophomore boys showed great ability on the field and the floor. We were well represented, also, in the dramatic club, and many of our members have had important parts in plays. It has taken us two years to get half-way through this forest-just think of all the knowledge we have acquired! We have enjoyed this route which we have taken and we feel confident that our next route will be traversed with still more skill, and sincerely hope that our experiences will make the route easier for the ones behind us. We love our school and faculty We're always true as true can be, And just to show our loyalty We'll be back in 33.,' Honor Roll High Honor Bruce, Dorothy Eck, Grace Orndorff, Maratha Springer, Wilma Umpleby, Eleanor Honor Beard, Kathryn Garrett, Blanch Gray, Wilma johnson, Walter Lester, Lela Long, Imogene Marsh, Helen McNeese, Dallas Rollo, Mary vu. e, Q. l -+-f'b'not'afna 521 ' fakes Robert Reed: Mother, I can't go to school today.

Perhaps some confused traveler from our number can, in his search for future knowledge, proit by having a chart of the blunders and the triumphs of the past. A huge assembly-a dash down strange corridors and unfamiliar stairways-a mad rush to class-friendly teachers-new faces-first assignments-a buzz in the study hall--special seats assigned-bells, bells-ah, the last bell-thus ended the first day. This group of history makers started its search for undiscovered territory on a golden September day. A guide was necessary for a good beginning, so Miss Parkinson was consulted and the oflicers of the class were chosen. The Freshman class participated in many activities of the school. We were glad to be of service in the Homecoming festivities and to feel that we had a part in welcom- ing the alumni. A number of the boys and girls succeeded in playing basketball, volleyball, football, and other athletics. Some played in the orchestra or band, sang in the glee club, or were members of the Junior dramatic club. A group of the girls entered the beginners' tap dancing class and wore out their shoes tapping between classes. Early in the year a picnic was held for the class in Kitchell Park, where a drizzling rain drenched the treasure hunters. But they were well paid, since the treasure was-a bag of gold! All in all, this first year has been a merry one for every person. Among our companions we beheld the students who climbed to the high point of the Freshman class-the Honor students. The ambition of each Freshman was to be in this group. As Sophomores, we shall look back on this chart and bring to memory our search for knowledge in our first year. Having three more years, we will try to make each one better than the last. Thus, this installment of our story ends, and our chart is finished.

If indifference prevails throughout the crowd, this feeling is outwardly expressed by certain actions and thus communicated to the team. The team can not do its best when it is being supported with only half-hearted enthusiasm. Such a situation presents a critical moment for the cheer leaders, for it is up to them to rouse the audience from this inertness to create a feeling of intense excitement, and thus to bolster up their waning hope. If the cheer leaders fail in their endeavor, obviously, the team will also fail to reach its goal. Although it cannot be said that Pana's crowd has lacked enthusiasm, yet we can honestly say that our cheer leaders have given us more vim, vigor, and school spirit than we would have otherwise had. Ever willing to give freely of the abounding energy which they possess, always present on the stage at our pep meetings, on the football field, and basketball floor, our cheer leaders, Curtis Tappero and Wiilter johnson, have proved more than loyal to us throughout the year. Small, yet mighty, they lead the crowds in yell after yell, spurring our team on to almost superhuman effort and-ultimate victory. Faithful and True-Hearted Faithful and true-hearted, .Ioyous and ever loyal, l,et us boost for our old high, Iiet us boost for our old high, May we revere her and defend her, Let every voice ring, And her colors proudly fly. l,et every heart sing, W'e'll stand for her united, 'I'here's no time to grieve or sigh, W'hile her team is on the field, lt's ever onward, Her colors streaming, Our course pursuing, Her faces beaming- May defeat ne'er our ardor cool, So l1ere's a cheer for her, But united we will boost for her, That we all love so well. Our old High School. Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball! May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall: There's no other that can match her, W'hen her team is on the field! Her boys are fleetest, her girls are sweetest, So here's a cheer for her, That we all love so well. lfnrl y-H1 11 7- f xl V 32 Panorama -+- Mr' Football Pana opened the football season on September 26 with a victory over Stonington High, 47 to O. The team repeated by defeating Moweaqua on the following Saturday, 45 to 0. The conference season opened at Shelbyville, under the flood lights, on October 9, and the 18 to 13 defeat handed us by Shelbyville was due in part to the loss of Rector, the big guard, and to the first appearance of the team at night. Gillespie, with one of the strongest teams in many years, took to the air to turn back the Blue and Orange, 44 to 6. Kincaid, with more beard on the face of the players than on the faces of the Pana lads, took the long end of the score, 21 to 0. Litchfield had not forgotten their last game at Pana, and evened things some by a 26 to 0 score. On Armistice Day the Pana boys were defeated by the South Central Champs at Nokomis, 29 to 0. Hillsboro annexed a victory by a one-sided score in our next game. The biggest game of the season is, of course, with Taylorville High on Turkey Day. Judging by Pana's record for the year, it was predicted that Pana's eleven would go down in defeat before the strong Taylorville aggregation. Pana had been looking forward to this big game all year, and the one aim of the school was to defeat Taylorville. It was a bitter cold day and the rain that was falling turned into snow during the game. What a day for the greatest football game of the year! The damp snow made aerial attacks almost impossible, so the entire play had to be on the ground. Taylorville's purple and gold players were again lined up against the orange and blue of Pana High! The game was played in mid-field almost altogether. Line plunges gained the most yardage, because of the slick field. Both teams came Within scoring distance once or twice, but when that danger presented itself, the line held and the loss of the ball was inevitable. After four quarters of hard fighting, the game ended with a scoreless tie! Taylorville, the picked winner, had been held scoreless by Pana, much to the delight of the homecoming crowd.

He came to Pana highly recommended, having just completed a very successful season in both football and basketball in the Carterville High School. Coach Hale immediately gained the friendship and admiration of the entire school. During his stay here he has always labored hard and endeavored to make the best possible teams from the material with which he has had to work. This year Coach Hale has done admirable work in training boys for football, track and intramural athletics. Letter Men CAPTAIN MELVIN Cox, at center position, played by far the best season of football in his high school career. Cox was in every play that was aimed at the line and managed to get some of the plays that were run wide around end. Cox was one of the most valuable men on the team this year, and his position on the Pana eleven will be a difficult one to fill as efficiently as he has filled it. MARTIN BEDNARIK fPoochj occupied tackle position on offense and full-back on defense. There was nothing that Pooch liked better than to tackle. Pooch was a good lineman and was in all the plays. He got out of the line in time to cover many punts. He was always the first man down on the kick-off and the first man through the line on a play. Pouch is a junior. LEON BUDDS fBuddsyj played at guard position. Budds was a heavy man and could make a good-sized hole in the line. He was a good defense man, and often smashed through the line to spill the interference or tackle the ball carrier. Budds is a junior and will be back with the squad next year. DONALD BETZOLD fBetzj came to Pana from Oconee and earned a position on the first eleven as tackle. Betz was a good tacklerg a man who escaped him in the line was good, for Betz seldom missed a tackle. He also played half-back on defense in a few games, but his position was decidedly in the line. Betzhold is a senior. Fifty-om' xl V 32 -.Panorama -o- .Cetter Men DALE JEFFERIES Ueffj played the left end position and played it well, for he was a good blocker and always took care of his half-back on the plays. More than one promising gain has been broken up by jeff's smashing through and tackling the ball- carrier. Jeff is a senior and his place on the Pana football squad is open for anyone capable of filling it. GLENN MCCLUNG fClummyj played end, but early in the season he was shifted to tackle, where he played the most of the season with the one exception of when he played backfield. Glenn is a tall man and could snag passes and run. He could block and tackle, and broke up a good many plays by often tackling behind the line. Clummy is a junior and will be with the squad for one more season. VICTOR HAGER fRedj, junior, filled in at right half after an injury to Rochkes. Although small, Hager could spot,' a hole in the line and slip through it for a gain. Once through the line, he was shifty enough to pick up several more yards gain. Hager is to be back with the team next year and much is expected of him. JOHN ROCHKES CMatisj started the year out as half-back but early in the season he received an injury that kept him out of play until the last two games. john showed real promise on the field, and as he has two more years'in school, We are looking for a lot of action from him. HERMAN STOCKER QCevaj played full-back on offense and tackle on defense. He could hit the line hard and gain yards whenever he was called upon. Stocker was the heaviest man in our back-field and played good football every game. He could run, tackle and block. Stocker will be back next year and Pana high is expecting much from him. GEORGE DIXON QDickj, our right guard, played real football this year. Dick if a fairly husky man and a good blocker. Although it was his first year of regular playing, he was a good scrapper and could get through the line and make a tackle often when a tackle was needed badly. Dick will be back with the squad next year. JOHN BRUTOSKY fBrutusj played quarter-back this year and filled the position very well. Brutus was the lightest man on the team, but nevertheless, he made more than his share of the tackles. His cool-headedness and quick thinking gained many yards for Pana. Brutus is a senior, and Pana is losing a good quarter-back when he graduates. HERMAN ALDE fHammondj, our left half-back, played real football this year. Alde hit the line hard and made long runs, which usually resulted in a score for the team. He did most of the kicking and his toe saved us many times when a long punt of his took the ball out of the danger zone. Herman will be back with us next year. GEORGE SWIM played the other end position when McClung was changed to tackle. Swim was a light but fast man. He had plenty of grit and a better tackle and blocker could not be found on the squad. He had ability to get down and cover punts, and that he did well. Swim, a senior, will be lost by graduation. Fifly-lwn -+- fivnoranva ' T be Second Squad Without a scrub team, there could be no first squads. The part played by the lowly scrub is as important as the part played by any member of the first eleven. It is while on the scrub team that the players learn to take hard knocks. The scrubs toil through hours of grilling practice and get little recognition for their work until they succeed in winning a place on the team. Without being a scrub, how could a player learn to block a man running rapidly down the fieldg how could he ever learn the right way to give a hard knock if it were not for his experience as a so-called lowly scrub ? It is in the daily scrimmage that the boys are conditioned to meet the rigor and strain of the regular games, and it is the scrub team that gives them this practice in scrimmage. There were thirty-five boys out for the squad this year, so twenty-four of them had to be uscrubsf' Some of those scrubs will be the flghters on the first eleven in a few years. Football Party After the football season closed, a party for all the players and their guests was suggested, accordingly, a party was planned for December 19. The high school teachers and the members of the school board were invited. The party was held in the library of the high school. All the tables were removed and plenty of space was provided for the games and stunts. During the evening all members of the team were asked to retire to the physics room where a vote was taken to decide who was the most valuable man on the squad. This honor went to Captain Melvin Cox, a senior and center of the 1931 football team. The vote was unanimous. Upon returning to the library, games were played and Coach Hale presented the letters to the men who had earned them. After that, light refreshments were served by the Home Economics Department. Cards and tables were provided for those who wished to play cards. This party formally closed the 1931 football season. Camp Fire P41 Meetz'ng On thc evening of November 25, an old-fashioned box supper was held in the gym. It was a public affair and created a great deal of interest in the community. It was the beginning of an evening of gaiety. The object was to get pepped up for the big Turkey Day game with our old rival, Taylorville. After all of the boxes were sold and their contents eaten, the students walked to the athletic field where a roaring camp fire was blazing merrily. The students sang school songs and gave yells. The band played and more yells and songs followed. Monroe Glick, a former Pana athlete, gave a speech. Glick had an interesting message to give to the students. Jude Whitacre, the captain of the last football team to defeat Taylorville, gave a talk, followed by a talk by Melvin Cox, captain of this year's team. After the pep meeting at the athletic field the crowd formed a snake dance through the down-town section. This topped off the evening and left everyone in high spirits for the following day.

Bmleetlm II Pana ofhcially opened her 1931-32 basketball season on December 4, 1931, with Ramsey. Under a new coach, and using a new system, fans were anxious to see just how the team would go. Ramsey had played several games and had an old set of players. Pana players, on the other hand, were handicapped by having to play on a smaller floor than they were accustomed to. The game was close throughout and ended with a score of 19-1 S, in favor of Ramsey. On the following Friday Pana played Assumption, and was again defeated, 12-9 was the closing score. Remembering their defeat by Nokomis last year, Pana was anxious to defeat the fast Nokomis five, but failed by a score of 23-15. As the season progressed the team improved somewhat, so that when the Ramsey team came to Pana, it was defeated in a fast game by one point, 17-16. It was Pana's first win. Hoping to gov now, Pana showed more spirit in the next game, but was defeated by Witt in a hard fought game. On January 9, Nokomis journeyed to Pana to defeat us badly in a slow and extremely uninteresting game. The score was 32-11. Hoping to live down this defeat by winning from Litchfield, Pana fought hard, but came out with the little end of a 16-13 score. Assumption was next in line, and Pana was about due for a win. In a strenuous game, Pana defeated the Assumption five by three points. Feeling rather good after a Fifly-four Q. I fbnorama 525' ' victory, Pana hopefully tackled the strong Vandalia team, only to be repulsed. It was a good game, however, and ended with a score of 18-12, in Vandalia's favor. The age-old rival, Taylorville, was next. The last thing any player on the team wanted was to get beat by Taylorville. The game was a fast one and Pana piled up 18 points against Taylorville. Pana next motored to Carlinville, where they again met defeat by a score of 25-17. Shelbyville was next, and the game was one of great interest, although things went badly for Pana. When the Taylorville boys were again our opponents, we were determined to win over them again. They had lost two of their star players, but they still showed plenty of fight. In spite of that they went down to defeat to the tune of 23-18. Thus Pana won over Taylorville in both of the scheduled games. One of the best games of the season was the return game with Vandalia, which Pana won by a score of 28-27. Shelbyville was next in line, and when the four quarters were up Pana was on the little end of the score, but the game was very interesting, and held the interest of all the fans. The last scheduled game of the season was with Witt, at Witt. Zimmer, their center and high score man, was ill, so hopes that Pana could defeat Witt were very high, but Pana was unable to keep them from scoring, so the game ended in Witt's favor, with a score of 25-17. Seconds Pana has good material coming up next year, as was proved by the second team, which went through the season almost entirely undefeated. The second squad played very good ball, so it is expected that several outstanding players will be seen next year from the second ranks. There were about fifty boys out for the team, but a cut was made and twenty-five boys were kept. Out of this entire squad, some ten boys were picked for the first squad. The success of the second squad during this season gives a very encouraging outlook for the 1932-33 basketball record. Fifly-fue X32 Wafzorafna -Q- .Cetter Men CAPTAIN MELVIN Cox Cox was one of our most dependable players, for he could always be depended upon to do his share in the game. He was always cool, steady, and encouraging to his team- mates. Cox's guarding often kept the opponent's score from being a high one, moreover, he has sunk many baskets just when they were needed most. This is Cox's last year, and we know that he has done his best. JOHN OTLOE John was one of the most reliable subs we had on the bench. He could sink baskets and he could guard well. Although not a fast man, Otloe was steady and consistent. Johnny graduates this year. HERMAN ALDE Alde is a junior who has made a name for himself. He is one of the hardest fighting players on the squad. Next year Alde will show up as a star forward on Pana's team. WILBUR BURKHARDT Burky is another man who played good basketball this year. As forward, he was the high score man in most of the games. Burky', is a junior this year and we should hear more of him next year. GLENN MCCLUNG Clummy is a big, tall boy, who plays center. The position of pivot man is a hard one, but Glenn filled it successfully. McClung is a junior and will be back next year. WILLIAM RICE Bill, a junior, played guard this year, and although it was a new position for him, he Hlled it almost perfectly. Bill', could hold down his man, this fact was proved in many of the early season games. VAUGHN LESTER Lester was a second semester man, but he more than made up for the time he lost. He was the long shot man on the team, and he made a good percentage of his shots. Lester is a junior and will be with the squad next year. BIRTHEL EATON Eaton, a sophomore, earned for himself a place on the Pana basketball team. Eaton is tall and will doubtlessly develop into an excellent center. He played in almost all of the games this year and displayed a great deal of ability. Fifty-six Q. l .fbnofafna-525' ' lunrllf Run: llutlex, -I.

They afford an opportunity for all of the boys in school to develop themselves physically. All of the hours spent in intramural athletics are outside of the regular school hoursg usually three days a week are devoted to intramural sports. Volley-ball is generally the first game played in the fall. Teams are organized for a tournament, the winners of which are found on a percentage basis, thus one team may still be able to play, though it has lost several games. Horseshoe throwing is another game which is played in both fall and spring. Basketball is, perhaps, the most popular of all the intramural sports. About eighty boys played intramural basketball this year. The basketball tournament is run on a percentage basis, as is the volley-ball tournamentg the winner in this case, too, is the one who has the highest percentage of games won. Basketball was played after school, and also in the evenings. There were ten sessions, with three of four games in each session. Each team was allowed seven men, five of whom should not weigh over one hundred and thirty pounds as an average. Intramural track is held in the spring at Kitchell park. A regular track meet schedule is drawn up and the events are run off in order. The meet consists of field and track events. Anyone may take part in any of these events. At the end of the tournament letters are awarded to boys who have earned them. There are three letters which may be earned. The first is awarded upon winning ten points in any sport. All the players on a winning team are given ten points, those on the second team, seven, those on the third team, Hveg on the fourth team, threeg on the fifth team, one point. After earning the first letter, twenty additional points are required to earn the second letter. A total of forty points is needed to earn the last letter.

Consequently, in the dual meets held during the track season Pana failed to become distinguished. However, several students took part in various track events, the outstanding stars were Luzader, Graham, Rollo, Stocker, Kinsey, Swim, Cox. iiAt the county meet Kinsey took first place in the mile and the half mile. Luzader and Graham were entered in the shot-put and the discus throwing. At the district meet on May 9, at Charleston, Stocker won a medal in the javelin throw, while at the Conference meet, at Litchfield, Kinsey and Stocker won ribbons. Kinsey and Stocker will be back on the track team of 1932, and a good year is expected. Several new men have been training, some of whom are showing promise. Other members of the squad were McNeese, who worked on the javelin throw, Hitchcock, who trained for the mile rung Tex, who practised the shot-putg also Eaton, a low hurdler, and McClung, a high jumper. Pana's 1932 track team has an optimistic outlook. There is an abundance of material, and some new equipment has been purchased. The team has a good start this year in practice and several dual meets have been scheduled. Two milers who showed promise last year are back. Those out for track this year are: Stocker, Kinsey, Swim, Lester, Roland, Stokoe, Dixon, Reed, McClung, Rochkes, Alde, Chis, Bednarik, McNeese, Filiscky, Pauley, Williamson, Edwards, Budds, Eaton, Musgrove, Clayton, J. Stocker, Bolcling, Johnson, Hitchcock and Weidman. Most of these boys are first year men and have not developed in any special event yet, but some of them are developing rapidly. l'lfI i'-uglvl Dec Dec Dec. Dec Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. jan. Jan.

Class Tournament A class tournament was held this year with one more team entered than has been entered in previous years--the post graduates. In order to arrange the schedule a drawing for this tournament was held in the study hall during the third hour. As might be expected, the faculty drew a bye. The dope favored the juniors and the faculty. In the opening game the juniors gave the seniors a sound beatingg 19-6 was the score. In the second game the sophomores defeated the strong team of post graduates by a score of 15-9. The Freshman-Faculty game was, perhaps, the most interesting game of the tourna- rnent. The Frosh were defeated, but it may be inferred that the faculty could not fully appreciate their victory, since groans were heard the next day from the game-weary deans of learning-and Mr. Brummett appeared with a good old-fashioned shiner!,' The juniors and the faculty had to play for the championshipg although the score was a bit one-sided, the game was of great interest. The juniors defeated the strong faculty quintet by a score of 22-10. On Thursday the juniors were officially declared the school champions. In the consolation game the Frosh bowed in defeat to the fast sophomore squad by a score of 26-8. Six fy I I Q. l 1 fbnofama-Sf: ' . ' Y I.. Wintornicvcr, Palmer, l-rye, li.

Organized last year by Miss Mary Elizabeth McCoy, the tap dancers have received renown almost inconceivable. The eight original tap dancers were Ruth Leighty, Luanna Werner, Clarice Schafer, Ruth Frye, Vesta Palmer, Betty Scovil, Doris Peters, and Claribel Patterson. Leona Wintermeyer later filled in a vacancy made by Doris Peters. At the present time, there are twelve girls in this group, as five new members, Erna Wintermeyer, Eleanor Jackson, Margaret Gudehus, Estelle Ellis, and Susan Endris, were added. The regular pianist for this group is Dorothy Jean Bruce, and the assistant pianist is Eleanor Umpleby. The varying, bright-colored costumes add to the popularity of these dancers who appear not only in Pana, but in adjoining cities also. An appearance was made before an Intellectual Meet at Hillsboro, an Alumni Banquet at Tower Hill, a Play Day at Shelbyville, and the Teachers' Meeting at Taylorville. These girls also danced at many local entertainments including the junior-Senior Banquet, the T. P. A. Banquet, the Skinner School P. T. A., a Rotary Banquet, the Inter-City Rotary Meet, the Senior Class Play Skidding, the Rotary Club Plays Ghost House and Spanish Moonf' and the Washington School P. T. A.g they furnished an entire act for the Junior Jollitiesf' These twelve attractive girls are well upheld by a group of beginning tap dancers who look to them as excellent examples, and right they are. Both the dancers and the public agree that tap dancing is an enjoyable entertainment. Much credit for the success of the Tap Teamn is due to Miss Mary Elizabeth McCoy, who so willingly spent her time training these girls.

Under the direction of Miss Mary McCoy, eighty girls of P.T.H.S. joined this far-reaching association, not only for the physical education received, but also for the wholesome and clean recreation it provides. This organization complies with the rules and regulations of the Illinois League of High School Girls' Athletic Association. The G.A.A. members traveled along the road of sports just as a wandering tourist would travel from one city to another. The first stop was at an exciting soccer tourna- ment which was held at the soccer field in Kitchell Park. Soccer is one of the most prominent out-of-doors activities, and one of the most interesting. With eleven girls fighting for each team, competition was really fun. But soccer loses its charms, as do beautiful cities, so we traveled on to the lovely big gym where a most thrilling battle for volleyball supremacy was held. Biff! The ball bounds from one side of the net to the other. Oh! It hit the floor. Side out and rotatef, How well We remember that oft-repeated phrase! Fascinating as this was, we had to travel farther to that one most interesting sport, basketball. Twelve girls are on the floor in each game, many are watching, all equally thrilled. Lack of time kept the G.A.A. from entering the District Basketball Shooting Contest, which was always looked forward to by the upperclassmen. Glancing on down the highway of spring activities, we see track and baseball. Enjoyable sports? All the girls think so. And last we see a large group of girls, happy and carefree. Yes, it's Play Day, the semi-annual gathering of fellow G.A.A. members from other schools, the climax of our season. Suzy.: e l .fbnorama-521 ' Shih Rau? Andrew. Springer, Perry, Durbin. H.

The act consisted of five special numbers and one chorus. The Clown Dance by Eleanor Jackson and Margaret Gudehus, the Rag Doll Dance by Luanna Werner and Ruth Frye, the Gypsy Dance by Estelle Ellis and Susan Endris, the School Days' Dance by Ruth Leighty and Clarice Schafer, and the popular waltz, Two Hearts Beat in Three-Quarter Time, by Vesta Palmer, Betty Scovil, Leona and Erna Wintermeyer-all won the immediate admiration of the audi- ence. The Hnal number, l'Little Mary Brown, was performed by all twelve girls, it displayed the skill and finish of a professional number. Two of the dancers, Ruth Leighty and Luanna Werner, in celebration of the Washington Bi-centennial, danced the minuet. These girls, dressed as in the Revolu- tionary times, danced before the general assembly, the Ladies' Foreign Missionary, the Eastern Star, and the Business Woman's Club. The G1 A. A. Dance On the evening of January 23, the G.A.A. gave a dance in celebration of Pana's victory over Taylorville. Excellent music was furnished by Les Holden and his ten-piece band. A large crowd attended. The dance lasted from 9:30 to 11:30, and as the crowd dispersed, one could hear them say, We had a 'grand' time, and we'll be back for the next dance. So long! Play Day After attending several Play Days at Decatur, Nokomis, and Shelbyville, the G.A.A. of P.T.H.S. had the honor and pleasure of having one of these enjoyable group meetings at Pana on May 9, 1931: The program, consisting of out-of-doors games and stunts, was held in Kitchell Park, due to bad weather, the lunch was served in the gym, under the capable direction of Mary Wiss, one of the members. Pana is to have another Play Day this spring and it is hoped that our previous hostesses will all come and enjoy themselves as much as we shall enjoy their presence. G A. A. Banquet Last year on May 19, for the Hrst time in the history of P.T.H.S., the Girls' Athletic Association held a banquet for the presentation of awards and honors. Mrs. Lorna Mearns of Decatur spoke on Sportsmanship, after which the new president and her oHicers were welcomed to their offices. After the banquet Was served by Miss Burke and her assistants, the outstanding G.A.A. members were given small tokens of appreciation, and the awards were presented to the members who participated in all the activities. Another banquet is to be held this May and awards will again be presented to the G.A.A. members. The members of the association look forward to this event with much enthusiasm.

Memories of all of these interesting events come flooding through the student's mind when the gymnasium is mentioned, for it is there that he spends many of the happiest hours of his student life. This great hall was constructed in 1924. District and sectional tournaments have been held here almost every year. When Pana is on the floor, the benches are packed with gayly-clad enthusiasts, tense with excitement, yelling long and loud at the command of their orange and blue-clad cheer-leaders. When our team wins, or loses gamely, we reflect with pride that it is our team and our gym. At Homecoming each year, it is here in the gymnasium that old friendships are renewed and new friendships made. Then all through the school year, we look forward to the plays, concerts, and operettas given in the gymnasium. These events give the talented students an oppor- tunity to do their bit for P.T.H.S. As the school term draws to a close, everyone is busy, but no member of the Junior class is too busy to help decorate the big gym for one last gala event-the Junior-Senior Banquet-the last great tribute paid to the Senior class by the junior class. Every junior and Senior enjoys this great event of the school year. From the Hrst to the last year in our high school life, the gym is ever an important factor. Now, at the end of the road, we find ourselves once again gathered in our gymnasium. This time there is no laughing and dancing. Rather, there is a note of sadness in the air. These last events are the Baccalaureate services and the Commence- ment exercises, when all the Seniors have donned their caps and gowns to receive their diplomas and best wishes for the future. Thus, our life in Pana High becomes a blissful memory, as the solemn black figures pass out of the gymnasium door into life.

The club was organized six years ago, for the purpose of bringing the community and the high school into close relationshipg to encourage social pleasure for the girls in the clubg and to train the young women to be active and eilicient leaders in home and community life. Miss Randall and Miss Burke have done admirable work in dealing with this group of girls. The programs are instructive as well as entertaining, and include teas, parties, and lectures. This year the club sponsored the annual Christmas Vespers, given at the high school. The club also serves the athletic banquets, and sponsors a trip to nearby cities, to visit bakeries, factories, and other places of interest. The regular meetings of the Cook-Sew Club are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month. The meetings are generally held in the apartment of the high school. A spirit of helpfulness and co-operation is fostered, and the art of living to get more out of life and to put more into it is the real goal kept before each member of the club. Sl x lj' -right I 0 c l 1 fbnorama-512: - Band The Pana High School band, reorganized this year by director Paul Schulze, has two distinct functions in the life of the school. One of its obvious purposes is to provide music for school activities, such as athletic contests. This year the band played at all the home football and basketball games, and also journeyed to Nokomis. The second function involves personal development. Into this division falls both the beginners' band and the senior band. During this year almost seventy musicians- to-be have received systematic drill, leading to the mastery of their separate horns. The outgrowth of this procedure led to a mid-winter and spring concert. In the latter performance, the beginners participated. The advanced band is made up of seven clarinets, four cornets, two trombones, three saxophones, three melophones, two basses, and three drums. The beginners have a somewhat larger instrumentation which is complete except for the unusual instruments. Efforts are being made to raise money to equip the bands with bassoons, bass clarinets, and such instruments. Pana High is proud of its band and wishes it a continuance of the steady develop- ment shown throughout this school year. Sufi-nun 32 -Wanorama Mwvml Run: 13. liruuu. V. Springer, li. Meugir, I'.

It responds upon call, no matter what the request may be, and people of Pana make good use of its service. Included in its list of activities are the Nurses' banquet, the operetta, the Bacca- laureate service, and Commencement. Various individual members and small groups perform on innumerable occasions. Rehearsals are held twice a week. At this time, works of high character are studied and worked out. The names of all of the finest compaszrs are found on the programs of the orchestra. Music of diverse types is practiced, and nearly every school of composition is touched. Hand in hand, with the first orchestra, a group of ten beginning violin players is solving the mysteries of their instruments. This latter group meets once a week for a class lesson. Next year, with the addition of the beginning string players and the recruits from the ranks of the junior band added to the orchestra, the instrumentation will be swelled considerably. The number of players will be practically doubled. With this addition, music may be played with a richer shading and coloring. Ser:-11ly I 1 Q. l 1 Mnorama-Sf: - .

Since the chorus was too large to be flexible, the director, Paul Schulze, selected thirty girls from both sections and formed a special club. This organization has been heard on numerous occasions, including the junior jollities, dramatic club meetings, Vesper Services, and the Spring Concert. Membership in the club changes constantly. As girls develop their voices by application of the vocal gymnastics prescribed by the director, they are pressed into regular service in the uspecialf' The vocal department this year has had an extremely successful season. Besides the organization of the girls' special glee club, some fifteen female voices were chosen to sing in the special mixed chorus. Work in this group was of the highest type. The repertoire consisted of works by Bach, Palestrina, Gretahaninov, and other great composers. Most of the singing was done a rappella, that is, without accompaniment.

Galvin Boy' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club, one of the school's finest extra-curricular organizations, has a membership of fifty boys, almost equally divided in the two class periods. The first- hour Boys' Glee Club meets the first hour on each Monday and XX'ednesday, while the second-hour Boys' Glee Club meets the second hour of the same days. This year, under the leadership of Mr. Schulze, music director of the school, the boys have a special Boys' Glee Club, which is a combination of both of the clubs. Besides this, there is a mixed chorus, composed of girls selected from all of the classes and part of the boys from the two classes. This chorus gave a short concert january 28, in connection with the band concert, and also furnished the music for the Teachers' Institute, held at Taylorville, Illinois. Plans are being made for entrance in the state contests. The Boys' Glee Club constitutes a very large and important factor in the operettas, which are held annually, special numbers being put on by the boys of the club. lt is increasing rapidly in popularity in school and is gaining many new members each year. It is a very enjoyable class and creates much interest. Sri rnlyslbrrr' 32 -Panorama 1 Tfvinf Kun: S. Butkauskas, H. Kwedar, V. Gray, A. Wcers Sirurlif Kun: li. li. Mercer, A. Mount, H. Parker, R.

The checking of magazines and the typing of necessary cards for books are two of the important duties. The study program for the year has centered around the classification of books and has created a deeper appreciation for all reading material. Perhaps one of the most interesting and yet busy times for the librarians was in October when ninety-five new books were placed on the shelves. Several days were required to prepare these books for circulation, and during this time, the reading of their interesting pages was denied. We feel that the new reading materials have brought enjoyment and information which makes the money invested in new books and maga- zines very much worth while. This year we added also our first newspaper, the New York Times, which has been in great demand. The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is by easy readingg but a great book that comes from a great thinker-it is a ship of thought, deep-freighted with truth and with beauty. - Theodore Parker.

NAlJl11Nli CiORllON This year Pana Township High School boasts more students in its post-graduate group than ever before. At the beginning of the term, twenty--four were enrolled for this special work, and at the end of the Hrst semester, twenty-one were still desirous of gaining the benefits of this course by continuing their studies with a successful year as their goal. The post-graduates enjoy the freedom of attending school only during their class hours. They are also at liberty to take part in practically all the outside school activities. The post-graduates' work was made very interesting this year because Mr. Brum- mett assigned each special student either to some member of the faculty as a secretary, or to office work. They appreciate this practical training and are willing to be of service to the school and faculty.

This project is modern in every respectg it has kitchen conveniences, gas, electricity, hot and cold water, a bath room, furnace, and built-in radio features, as well as electric door signals. The interior was painted and each room neatly decorated. All floors and woodwork were either oiled or stained and then varnished. Oak floors were laid throughout the entire house, short lengths being used and considerable care exercised by the boys in putting it down, to see that there were no flaws or bad pieces included. Considerable comment has been made on the beauty of these floors, especially those in the living room and dining room. The kitchen cabinet is another boy-builtn feature, containing enough shelving and drawer space to make any housekeeper happy. The members of this department are justly proud of their equipment and of the interest shown concerning their projects. Sr1r'l1iy-Civ -. I .Mfl0l Qf27Cl-52 ' Ffftli Razr: -I. Dnmonnusky. R.

This club meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. At this time, interesting programs are given, consisting mainly of readings, stunts, and play reviews. With the Junior Dramatic Club, Mask and Wig has recently applied for permission to install a chapter of the National Thespians, an honor society whose membership is open to members of the clubs who have been especially prominent and capable in dramatic work. One Dollar Down, a one-act play by Vera Hamill-Hafer, was presented for the general public in October. Apparently the audience appreciated the struggles of Mona, the family wage-earner, to keep other members of the family from buying out the town on the dollar down basis. The proceeds of that production, together with dues, have been used to purchase books of plays, so that we may have at hand numerous short plays suitable for presentation, and that we may become better acquainted with the works of well-known authors of drama.

Miss Cassell is our excellent sponsor again this year. Lydia Scholz was made my president, Imogene Long, my vice-president, and Glenn Shaffer, my secretary-treasurer. At this meeting it was decided that I should join the National Thespian Society, which entitles my members to the pin worn by that society. OCT. 26, 1931-At this meeting my president, Lydia Schloz, called mc to order. A chairman was named for each of my committees. The chairmen were Isabel Larimer, Wilma Springer, Adolph Wiss and Dorothy Stricklen. Nov. 18, 1931-Tonight I had my first party in the year 1931-32. It was a Thanksgiving costume party. We enjoyed the evening with games, music, and dancing. DEC. 22, 1931-The Mask and Wig and I held a joint meeting. The following interesting program was given. One duet was sung in German, and a quartet was sung in Latin. A play called Who Says Can't', was given. The cast was wisely chosen, the main characters of which were Imogene Long, Curtis Tappero, Adolph Wiss, and Estelle Ellis. As I close my diary, I wish to say that my officers did well in holding their offices. Interesting plays were given at all my meetings. Some of them were: A Lucky Escape, Abe and Lucinda, Village Choir, and The Romance of Zingarellaf' A public play, given in the spring, was attended by a large crowd. Signed: JR. DRAMATIC CLUB.

The story is as follows: Upon his arrival at Mikels Golden Trail Hotel where he is forced to stop while enroute to a birthday celebration for his daughter's eighteenth birthday, Don Carlos Alvarado learns that Don Pedro Carranza, with his rancheros have already stopped there and that emigrants are expected. Soon after, Smiling Charley, a friend of the family, is chased in with a gold consignment by bandits. The fact that he is in danger makes Barbarita realize she is in love with him. A mutual avowal follows. Bandits arrive, apparently take the gold and leave with Carmela. The emigrnts arrive as Charley is being untied. An emigrant celebration follows on the next day. Don Carlos announces that the birthday party will be held in the hotel followed by a betrothal dance. All but Charley go to the emigrant encampment to attend the sports. Dead Shot Dick, Charley's enemy, is prevented from hanging Charley on a false charge of murder and theft by joe and Tad. Acting upon his suspicion of Dick and information given by the escaped convicts, Charley leads a posse of emigrants to the bandit rendezvous. On the next afternoon while parbarita is worrying about Charley, Don Pedro summons his rancheros and declares himself to be Murietta, the famous Mexican. He demands gold and the Alvarado jewels. but Carmela detains him by a ruse until Charley and followers return with Dick, Murietta's lieutenant, tied. The bandits are caught, the tables are turned, and everyone is happy. Highly I I c I Q'norama-3123 ' . l s 'ffk lkllfllillg H A peak in senior activities was reached on the evening of May 15, 1931, when the outstanding play of the year, Skidding, was presented under the eflicient directorship of Mrs. E. B. Bowman nee Miss Marguerite Norris. It was an admirably staged and produced play throughout and the audience was turned from laughter to tears at intervals. Those who took part displayed splendid Thespian talent and acquitted themselves in a most creditable manner. Wilbur Keppler, as judge Hardy, not only looked a characteristic member of the bar, but by his nervous manner regarding the nomination and his impatience toward his wife's ignorance of things political won the interest of the audience in a. truly professional manner. Nell Turner proved her ability as an actress by her sympathetic interpretation of the character of Mother Hardy, as few high school students! are capable of doing. Orville Ashcraft, whose first appearance on the stage made him an immediate favorite with the audience, cleverly portrayed the part of a seventeen-year-old Andy, with his general indifference lo law and order. Roy liilers completely baffled his audience when he hobbled out upon the stage as a quaint, lovable Grandpa. Grandpa Hardy touches the heart with his absent-mindedness and his reminiscences about Grandma. Rosamond Penwell and Harriet Kirkpatrick furnished high amusement with their matrimonial diffi- culties-onc husband was too practical, the other too extravagant. Kathryn Seiler and Clifford Sturgeon stirred the audience with their portrayal of a young couple trying desperately to adjust their romance to the modern combination of careers and home making. The difficult dramatic scenes were enacted with unusual talent. Ruth Zellman played a very difficult part with an ability that made her role outstanding in the play. She portrayed excellently the part of a sweet middle-aged school teacher, who bore thc burdens of the Hardy family. Paul Mills, as Stubbins, was as hard-boiled as most politicians arc. One of the surprises of the performance was the initial appearance on the stage of little Tommy Metzger, who played charmingly the part of Junior. An appreciative audience, a well-chosen cast, good specialty numbers directed by Miss McCoy, and special music directed by Professor Tuleen, made Skidding one of the most popular senior class plays given in recent years. -A-Dovma Comes.

The lyceum programs are given each year in the high school assembly. These programs provide good educational entertainment, and greatly stimulate the students' interest in worthwhilemusic. Robert O. Bowman entertained us shortly after the beginning of the term with a group of readings and humorous impersonations which we all enjoyed immensely. Madame Aszmann's maneuvers on the new instrument, the Victor Theremin resembled somewhat those of a hypnotist, to a mystifled assembly. This instrument, having neither strings nor keys is not touched by the hands while being played. We learned during the performance that the tone is produced by sound waves, which are regulated by the movement of the hands through the air. Fiechtl's Swiss Yodlers came to us straight from Switzerland' with their charming Swiss accent, dry humor and beautiful costumes: Their yodelinglmade a strong appeal to the listeners. Due to their visit the students have a more kindly feeling for Switzer- land and its inhabitants than they have ever had before. Judge Fred Bale brought us an educational lecture illustrated by many interesting experiences from his own observations as a Juvenile Court Judge. The Lombards were some old friends back again, how we like them! Harry Lombard, baritone, is known not only as a singer but also as a comedian of high rank. We especially enjoyed his character sketch of Washington, and his hatchet fand all the little hatchetsj. ' Frank Hollmann, The Pigeon Man, provided a very unique and instructive entertainment on pigeon history and habits. His message contained forceful, appro- priate messages of a patriotic note which gave added value to his mission. Among many varieties of pigeons, he displayed the lovely Tiger Swallow, the outstretched wings of which suggested the Stars and Stripes. The Radio Music Makers were a number of experienced artists. Their program was of high standard, emphasizing the better things in music but varied enough to be thoroughly enjoyed by all. Al Priddy, at one time a circus trooper, gave a lecture, but not the usual dry recourse, which that word suggests. It was packed with laughs, with here and there a serious thought or two of much import. His knowledge of animals of the circus had been gained from personal experience. The Petrie Company presented A Merry Musical Melancef' It consisted of an instrumental quintette which we all enjoyed very much. Louis Williams: It was a shocking program, wasn't it? we asked each other. lt was!! Mr. Williams's program was strictly scientific, full of tense moments, and current with the latest developments of power. Several students became the principal shock absorbers with no serious effects except for a general rib-splitting through the assembly. A large group of Wesleyan University boys, comprising the Wesleyan Glee Club, entertained us during one assembly. Their group is unique in that it was the first of its kind to broadcast over the radio. We very much enjoyed their numbers, especially those by che quartet. Dr. L. R. Marston, who is President of Greenville College, and a good friend of Mr. Brummett's, gave before the assembly a lecture entitled Character Analysis. It was full of humor, as well as instruction. Music was furnished by Miss Olive Van Valin, accomplished Concert Soprano of the Greenville College A Cappella Chorus. One of the lectures which will linger longest in our minds was by Raymon Mercola, who gave an account of his experiences while with the Byrd expedition tothe South Pole. We learned that the trip was not all one pleasant adventure, but that the interesting surroundings were full of deadly perils. Eighty-Ibn: xl V 32 -.panorama -+- Cowboy Day The wave of excitement that started in general assembly when it was announced that the following Friday would be Cowboy Day, came to a climax on the morning of April the first. The first thing noticed, upon entering the building, was the contrast between the men, women and children of the West of several decades ago and the modern system of schooling with which they seemed familiar. Bronzed cowboys were entertaining girls who were the pride of the ranch owners. Bandits in groups of threes or fours were conversing in low tones. Miners were greeting friends with handshakes or hearty slaps on the back. Scouts, young and old, were crowding around Buffalo Bill. Senors, seno- ritas and a few Indians were mingling with the other citizens of the West. A group of ranch owners was discussing the Pony Express and telegraph with some western sheriffsg all admitted that they were living in a fast age. During all this commotion a bell rang, which instantly caused a stampede. People rushed here and there to their first hour classes. Noon came. The visitors ate lunches at school or swarmed out into town for lunch. Excitement ran high. Word was passed around that a parade was to be held, so afternoon classes accomplished little in the way of studies. When the bell rang every- one broke into a yell. Amid shouts, laughter and confusion, a parade was organized. The paraders were determined to wake Pana-and they did. Someone started a new song, Buffalo Girls. Voices grew tired and bodies grew weary. At last the parade was broken up and the prelude to the operetta, The Golden Trail, was finished. This one day of mad merry-making will be remembered as a bright spot on the trail of the phantom rider-Knowledge. Rqfle Club The Pana Bull's Eye Junior Rifle Club was organized in February, 1932, under the capable supervision of Mr. Wayne Yonker. This club is a member of the junior Division of the National Rifle Association of America, the headquarters of which are at Washington, D. C. The club was organized for the purpose of developing the qualities of good sports- manship, self-control, and co-operation, and for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the use of firearms. Several of the boys won medals for various degrees of marksmanship. The officers of the club are: President, Forrest Tate, Vice President, William Pushnikg Secretary, Wilbur Kinsey, Treasurer, John Otloeg Executive Officer, Mel- vin Cox. Besides the officers, these boys were active in the club: Herman Alde, Wilbur Burk- hart, Wilbur Corley, Yulin Edwards, Wesley Johnson, Lawrence Milligan, Dan Murray, Orville Sammons, Kenneth Snow, junior Stilli, Herman Stocker, Marvin Suter and George Swim. Archery Clays The art of skillfully handling a bow and arrow was for a time practically lost, because bows and arrows were replaced by guns. Recently, however, archery has been revived as a sport in England and America, where it has been growing rapidly in popularity. In order to give the Pana students an opportunity to enjoy this sport, an archery class was started this fall under the supervision of Mr. E. J. Harrison. Materials were procured from which each student made a lemonwood bow, tipped with worked cow- horn, and a quiver of arrows. A target was constructed, so, as soon as good weather came, practice was started, all indications seem to show that archery will remain one of the school's popular sports. Eighty -four c I '9'- .fb'fl0l'C1'07Cl 521' ' Homecoming All roads may lead to Rome, but the road which leads to Pana is the one wc prefer, so say the Alumni. School was dismissed amid much excitement on November 25, for the Thanksgiving vacation. Everyone was preparing for the big pep meeting, which was to be held after the box supper. The evening was cold, but clear. The girls brought boxes and the boys bought them. The entertainment was furnished by the original Dutch Bandf' This unique band of Dutchmen, composed of Franklin Bishop, Francis Hebenstreit, Horace Inman, and Mr. Spiller, was directed by Mr. Schulze. When their performance was over they were almost pushed off the stage by a group of enthusiastic girls, who wished to show their appreciation of the extraordinarily good music. After this, everyone went to the football field, where a great bonfire was lighted and the pep meeting was held. There, in the light of the fire, Jude Whitacre, Monroe Glick, Mr. Brummett, Coach Hale and Coach Spiller gave a few words of encourage- ment to the football boys. Thanksgiving brought with it snow, and the best football game of the season-that memorable struggle with Taylorville High School. After the big game was over, all desired to celebrate, so they gathered full force for the Homecoming dance on Friday night in the gaily decorated gym, The address of welcome was given by Everett Metzger. None could be gloomy on such a happy occasion. Those who did not care to dance to the spirited music of Sanders's Orchestra played cards. Punch and cookies were served during the intermissions. So, another homecoming closed happily. Good-night. See you next year, if not sooner, seemed to re-echo through the halls, as the Alumni parted. The Charm School Directed by Isabel Cassell The highly amusing and fascinating three-act comedy, The Charm School, was presented by the Senior class on Friday evening, May 13. The many difficulties which Mr. Austin Bevans encountered in his experiment with his boarding school evoked gales of laughter from the audience, as did the rapturous and entranced gaze of the beautiful Senior class President, Elise. The story of the Charm School relates the adventures of the handsome young automobile salesman, Mr. Austin Bevans, scarcely out of his teens, who inherits a girls' boarding school from a maiden aunt. As the owner of such an important institution, Mr. Bevans insists on directing all situations according to his own ideas. Being a modern young man, he carried out his chief idea, that the dominant feature in the education of the young girl of today should be CHARM. The many situations which arise are teeming with clean, wholesome humor. ln the end, Mr. Bevans gives up the school and promises to wait until the most precocious of his pupils, Elise Benedotti, reaches a marriageable age. The cast of six boys and ten girls was well chosen and the stage setting was colorful, as well as appropriate. The freshness of youth, the charm of originality and the whole- some, pleasant entertainment embodied in this play, made it one of the most popular entertainments which Pana Township High School has ever produced. Although an unparalleled cast and excellent play were chosen, the success was due in a large part to the efficient and capable direction of Isabel Cassell. Eighty-fin' g I 2 fkmorafna -o-- '17oe Commercial Corttert Program The Nineteenth Annual Illinois State Commercial Contest will be held during the latter part of April and the first part of May. Events are to be entered in shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping. The District Commercial Contest will be held in the commercial department of the Pana Township High School on April 23. The Sectional Commercial Contest will be held in Decatur on May 7. The State Finals will be held at Normal on May 13-14. The first and second place winners in the District are eligible to go to the Sectional Contest, but only the first place winner of the Sectional is eligible to go to the State Contest. One of the essentials of this contest is speed. Speed is the keynote of American business, but speed without accuracy is of little value. Properly supervised competition is one of the best motivating forces for acquiring skill in these arts. Contests can be of real service to the teacher and an incentive to the pupil. The Rotary Club Context The Pana Rotary Club, together with those clubs of Carlinville, Staunton, Litch- field, Hillsboro, Nokomis and Pana, have added zest to the extra-curricular activities of the high schools of these various communities during the last two years, by sponsoring an oratorical contest, the subject of which is 'iThe Sixth Object of Rotary. The sixth object is concerned with the promotion of peace and fellowship throughout the country. Each school selects three contestants from its student body who are to compete before the local Rotary Club of that district. The winner of this contest then represents the school in the inter-scholastic contest. The prize to be given to the winner of the inter-scholastic contest is a cash prize of seventy-five dollars. The contest before our own Rotary Club is to be held on April 18, and the inter- city contest, which is to be held in Pana this year, will be on May 6. I There are several students entered in this contest, so Pana is sure to have a very capable representative. 'Noe Clrriftzau County Intellectual Meet Christian County is holding a county contest in the literary and music fields. This contest is open to all of the high schools in the county. Each school is allowed only one participant in each event, not including the Glee Club. A Contests are held in the following: Orations, dramatic readings, piano solos, vocal solos, violin solos, and girls' glee club numbers. The programs are to be held on separate evenings. This year one of the programs is to be held in Pana on April 26, and the other in Assumption on April 28. The pro- gram at Pana will include contests for girls' glee clubs, orations, vocal solos, and violin solos. The other events will be held at Assumption. Pana will have several capable participants whose names we hope to see on the list of the winners. Eighty-sir c I fbnofafna 525' ' Wasb1'ngton Bi-centenmal Program In celebration of the Washington Bi-centennial, a program was prepared by Miss Parkinson and the members of the American History classes. Forrest Tate, in order to bring the times of Washington closer to our own, read a message from a historian to that effect. He then introduced various parts of the pro- gram. A reading of parts of, Washington's life, adapted to a group of shadow pictures and music, was prepared by Martha Rice. Next was a trombone solo by Jess Anscott. Ruth Leighty and Luanna Werner then gave a minuet, to typify that phase of the period. They were directed in this by Miss McCoy. A patriotic song by the school concluded the program. 'l Others assisting with the program were Margie King, John Brutosky, Bernadine Christner, Lloyd Mose, Glen Kanouse, Florian Scherzer, Donald Larimer, Wilbur Kinsey, George Jackson and James Rice. Baccalaureate One of the last events of the year is the baccalaureate service at the high school auditorium. This year the service was held on the evening of May twenty-second, nineteen hundred and thirty-two. It was attended by the entire group of seniors, as well as by many of their relatives and friends. A splendid message was brought to this group by Reverend Wintermeyer of the German Lutheran Church. Commencement On May the twenty-seventh, the commencement exercises were held in the high school auditorium. The seniors were presented diplomas at this time in recognition of the completion of their high school course. Those who had previously been elected to the National Honor Society were awarded pins. Many very excellent thoughts from the evening's speech were carried away by each one who attended. Last Days With the-baccalaureate services, the picnic and the commencement exercises the senior career is completed. The saying, No more lessons, no more books, is no longer heard on the lips of the seniors, for it too forcibly reminds them that their chapter of high school life is almost closed. It is with sadness that these fellow students part, and with a feeling akin to that expressed by Thomas Moore in his poem As Slow Our Ship. As slow our ship her foamy track As travellers oft look back at eve Against the wind was cleaving, When eastward darkly going, Her trembling pennant still looked back To gaze upon that light they leave To that dear isle 'twas leaving. Still faint behind them glowing, So loath we part from all we love, So, when the close of pleasure's day From all the links that bind us, To gloom hath near consigned us, So turn our hearts, as on we rove, We turn to catch one fading ray To those we've left behind us! Of joy that's left behind us. -Thomas Moore. Highly-srl' rl 311 ai F' l Jw , ,A ' a Q. 15 N,- KW s -. 'rg -7 X511 fy L F7 X.
