CHAPEL PARDEEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL During the First World War thirty-six alumni of the old high school en- tered the service of their country. In like tradition: but by the score, alumni of the P. H. S. who emerged from the portals of the present building con- structed in 1923. have kept the faith and joined the mighty hosts of libera- tion of the Second World War. Today we look forward and anticipate fur- ther growth and new portals from which will emerge alumni of P. H. S. com- mitted to the preservation of peace—proponents of perpetual freedom for all people of the world. M. II. Spicer, Superintendent. GEORGE PAYNE. Custodian 6 School {Board H. W. HASKIN H. J.

(junior Qrom One of tlie highlights of any school year is the annual Junior Prom. The 1945 prom was no exception, for April 27, the Junior Class of '46 acted as hosts at their “LOVE SHOP” prom. This colorful event of the year took place in the high school gymnasium, which had been transformed into a ballroom of soft lights, spring flowering shrubs, rustic benches, huge hearts and cupids of red and white. In the far corner of the room was the rustic throne where Gerald Edwards and Wilma Hush were crowned King and Queen of the prom. The music was furnished by “Earl Youngbeck and his orchestra.” We are indeed grateful to the committees for their work and also for the splen- did cooperation rendered by Mr. L. Loven, the junior class advisor, whose un- tiring efforts to make it a success made everyone feel responsible for his share in the work.

The extreme shortage of tires brought about by war conditions has made this necessary and there appears no relief from this condition for some time to come and regulations relating to individuals will no doubt be much worse. It will l e the policy of the administration to provide the best of transportation and make it as convenient to the individuals as possible. There will be two buses in operation—one traveling west and south to Wyocena and the other east and north extending over the town of Marcellon. The cost to students will he only one dollar per week. twirling Corps CLASS A CHAMPIONS Patricia Kearns Jeanette Smith, Drum Major Beulah Keeley L . aA% f a t, A O 5 J 'Siris Chorus CLASS B—FIRST DIVISION Top Row: Sarah Hays, Myrna Dalton.

Annual Physical Education Demonstration A physical education demonstration, the second of its kind ever to be conducted at P.H.S. took place January 16, 1945, under the supervision of Miss Grace Ganske. Every girl enrolled in the Physical Education Department took part. The high school band under the direction of Mr. Wood, furnished the music and Mrs. M. C. Hepler accompanied the dancing groups. The program showed the general routine of the girls’ physical education classes and brought to mind the fine work Iteing achieved under the war-time physical fitness program. Outstanding numbers were the fine formations achieved by the tumbling team and the tap dancers. Many difficult stunts were performed by the tumblers with the ease and grace of professionals. The grand march, conditioning exercises, and the relays added excitement and balance to the program. The finale was the formation of the letters P.H.S. while the American flag was raised as the band played “God Bless America.” The exhibition was so well attended and such a success as to warrant repeated annually. its being 24 Basket pyramid Top How: Beverly Dalton.
