i lUSll Nl S ss in owl Past An Present tu ents re Community Leaders The preparation and inspiration to excel in business and poli- tics have been gained by many past and present PHS students. This is Pattonville's legacy to those who are or who will become community leaders. Kel-Don Company, an office machine business started by Ray Schroeder '53, is his legacy to his children. Named after daugh- ters Kelly, a senior, and Donna, a freshman, the company will someday be run by son Steve, a sophomore, said Schroeder. The determination and initiative to make the company successful were legacies PHS bequeathed to Schroeder. The emphasis on basic English skills and the encouragement of a favorite teacher, Mr. Musgrove, are aspects of his PHS education for which Schroeder is particularly grateful. Another PHS alumni who achieved success in business is Ray- mond Ahner who owns a greenhouse. Among present PHS leaders are seniors who participated in Boys' and Girls' State. Students attending Boys, and Girls' states set up mock governments and became educated in the American political process, explained Lisa Wishon. Much was learned about the complexity of city, county, and state government, said Kebby Buhlig. Mark Lavelle cited learning how to run a political campaign and learning the duties of government officials as the most valu- able aspects of the experience. 'iThe purpose of Girls' and Boys' States was to prepare stu- dents to be leaders, said Diane Sprake. Boys' State helped me intellectually and emotionally, said Van Woodcock. Now I feel more comfortable talking in front of people, said David Agrippino. Lb. A.

Other students attending Girls' and Boys, States were Randy Kriewall, George Kossl, Jim Shafer, Al Ratliff, and Christy Pru- den. Many PHS students participated in Junior Achievement, an organization designed to involve teenagers in business activities. These students began the year selling shares of stock for their companies. This money was used to fund the production of items such as fudge and cookie sheets which were then sold. At the end of the year, all profits were divided equally among the group members. Renee Stark and John Burgess were seniors active in JA. Junior JA participants were Jim Abotobik, Robert Brandon, Chris Caproni, Mike Grice, Kevin Gurlen, Bonnie Henson, Ed Lake, Leslie Lauman, Lisa Leslinski, Chris McKinley, Jamie Pa- penberg, and Vickie Reichert. Sophomores involved were Cindy Ciper, Laura Curry, Kim Curtis, Beth Draper, Beth Eise, Valerie Enders, John Hancock, Mary Lake, John McCallister, Sue Skar- bek, Denise Stark, and Monica Williams. According to Monica, JA was fun, and almost everything necessary to know about going into business was taught theref' A sophomore who was involved in community leadership this year was John Hancock. John worked with the Jeff-Vander-lou Company to help renovate a four-bedroom flat on Delmar which was once the home of composer Scott Joplin. When restored, the home will be a ragtime music museum, said John who gathered information about Joplin and ragtime music so as to make the museum as realistic as possible. by K. Enlow and P.
