Turn back the hands of time. uiistory Turn back the hands of time to the morning of September 4, 1939. Let's follow the once small tracks of our seniors through the sands of time and watch them grow. Our first im- prints were made in kindergarten where we learned that scissors were for cutting paper in- stead of hair, and that paste was not to be eaten, fls these tracks grow, we find we could read, count, and more recently work algebra, read Latin, and solve chemical equations. fls we look back on grade school days, our tracks are somewhat covered by the exciting winds of high school. The footprints of 1948, when we entered the doors of P.C.H.S., are at first a little confused with the new high school schedule. The tracks soon become more clear as we accustomed ourselves to the routine of grown-up days. Lasting imprints, at least in our memories, are highlights of the past four years: class assembly programs, plays, and parties; school dances, and games. Class officers were: freshmen—president, Mary Lou Parli; vice-president, Doris Hess; sec- retary-treasurer, Gerry Gifford; student coun- cil, Bill Huston; and sponsor. Miss Childers; sophomores—president, Doris Hess, vice-presi- dent, Bill Huston; secretary-treasurer, Ken Johnson; student council, Eugene Rakosnik; and sponsors. Miss Ullstrom and Mr. Darrow, juniors—president, Eugene Rakosnik; vice- president, David Waddell; secretary, Gerry Gifford; treasurer, Jerome Hoffman; student council, Doris Hess and Kyril Brown; and sponsors, Miss Peckham and Miss Danielson; seniors—president, Kyril Brown; vice-presi- dent, Charles Spohr, secretary, Carolyn Bratt; treasurer, Jerome Hoffman; student council, Gerry Gifford and David Waddell; and spon- sors, Miss fluserod and Mr. Goodwin. Repre- senting our class in carnival royalty were: Gerry and Bill as freshmen; Doris Hess and Gene when we were sophies, and last year, Marilyn and Chuck. Perhaps best of all, we at last find these same imprints, now of dairvty slippers and highly polished shoes, from junior-senior ban- quets, baccalaureate, and finally graduation. After the momentous date of May 23, 1952, the tracks will be harder to trace as they will follow many different individual paths. The footsteps falter a little as we leave Pawnee High as students for the last time, but we hope our imprints will remain, at least faintly, for- ever. CLASS MOTTO: Minds, like parachutes, work only when open. COLORS: Blue and white FLOWER: Orchid t'age 12 We, the thirty-nine seniors of Pawnee City High School in the year of 1952, bequeath to you, our underclassmen and teachers, the fol- lowing articles, traits, and possessions, in the hope that you will have as much fun with them as we have had. GALEN JOHNSTON wills his baton to Mary Herries. Let's see you twirl that one, Mary. PHYLLIS EDGERTON wills her ability to blush when called upon to Mary Jo Saxton. There'll be some changes made. DARRELD ALDERMAN wills his curly red hair to Yvonne Edgerton. Tintair and a Toni should do the trick, Yvonne. DORIS BOCK wills her ability to go steady to Donna Hess, as though she needed it! JIM HOLMAN leaves his ability to get on Miss Auserod's nerves to Nelson Jensen Let's see you do that and get A's, Nels. MAXINE KORBER leaves—for good reas- ons. MAX SCOTT leaves all spats with teachers to the memories of the teachers. He always had the last word. BETTY STASTNY wills her sunny disposi- tion to anyone who'll try so hard to keep it. DAVE WADDELL wills his ability to ignore girls to hfs brother, Roger. It won't be hard, Roger. You're coming right along. MARY ANN COLLAR wills her temper to the Stastny twins Two of you should be able to handle it. BILL HUSTON and CHUCK SPOHR will their silliness in classes to anyone who is as crazy. It can't happen twice, teachers. DORIS HESS leaves her motto of no activi- ties, more study halls to anyone who can stand the lack of excitement. DAVID BOCK leaves his car outside, merely because they won't let him bring it in! JOAN ALDERMAN wills her perpetual cheerfulness to Elda Tegtmeier. Cheer up, Elda! BUD CALLAM wills his angelic appearance to Joe Perdew. Looks can be so deceiving! DONNA KALINA wills her ability to say the right thing at the wrong time to Carolee Kerl. Donna got it from Carol McKee last year. JERRY HOFFMAN wills his favorite ex- pression, yipe, to Lowell McClintock. Don't let it run away with you, Lowell. MARY PERDEW wills her big brown eyes to Wanda Davenport with this warning: use carefully. EUGENE RAKOSNIK wills his chem note book to the highest bidder Going, going, gone . . . CYNTHIA DAVIS wills her love for Fords to Hank Herries. What will Mr. Herries say? LOWELL VESTAL wills his push for the Pawneean to all future paper staff members. Good luck! MARY ALICE WILSON wills her ability to keep silent about her private life to Katie Lair. Well, Katie . . . ? KYRIL BROWN wills his gentle ways to Wayne Slemons. It'll take years of practice, Wayne. EDNA PEACOCK wills her capacity for learning history to David Cary. When was the war of 1812 fought, Dave? RICHARD BLECHA wills his constant silence to Red Knox. Now you can really be silent, Red. SHRIE ALDERMAN wills her sweetness and sincerity to Jean Dodson. Tact, Jean! KENNY JOHNSON wills his love of dancing to Leland McClintock Kenny says it's just lots of fun, Leland. GERRY GIFFORD wills her ability to be in everything and do it well to Clarene Werner. Patience and fortitude, Clarene! You're off to a good start. DONOVAN ALBERS wills his love of junior girls to the junior boys. Oh, these class par- ties!! CAROL WILLIAMS leaves her smile to Larry Lewis. Try saying cheese, Larry. KEITH DAVIS wills his success in Ag. to Jack Shrauger. Competition for that trombone. ROBERT STEPANEK leaves his bass hom to Jerry Reed. We know you're a sax man, Jerry, but maybe you can pawn it. JIM RHODES leaves, with amazement in his eyes. JANE DODSON wills her ability to cry in sad shows to Doyle Boren. Start weeping, Doyle. It softens the heart. DONNA SHELABARGER wills her good at- tendance record to Barbara Vacek. Fewer out of town trips. Barbie. MARY LOU PARLI leaves her love of Hum- boldt and Table Rock boys to Ronnie Lantz. What will this do to the football team, coach? We, MARILYN HOPPER and CAROLYN BRATT, leave P. C. H. S. with reluctance, wishing all of you the best of luck in the years to come. Page 13 Class [Prophecy . . . . In 1972, after spending twenty years in the Foreign Legion, I have returned to Pawnee City and find the town in good order. I won- der what has happened to all of my old class- mates. As I walk down the street, I see the neon sign of Vestal's Hardware. I amble in the flourishing establishment and see Lowell. He is complaining about his feet. Taking a further look around our mighty metropolis, I see Darreld Alderman and Keith Davis sitting in the P.M.A. office. Darreld is the county pres- ident of P.M.A., and Keith is his right-hand man. Donovan Albers and David Bock are partners in the local florist shop. Pawnee finally has a new theater; its proud owner is Jim Holman. It seems the reason Jim has en- tered the theater business is so that he won't have to get up until noon. Jim acquired his dislike for getting up early by trying to get to high school choir at 8:00 A.M. (He seldom made it.) Max Scott and Jim Rhodes are the owners of Pawnee Dance Hall. Their star attraction is Ken Johnson and His Royal Bo- hemians. Ken really beats the drums. His tuba soloist is Robert Stepanek. Cynthia Davis is spinning around town in her new Ford. It seems Cynthia is the Ford dealer. I hear she gives a very small trade-in allowance for your old car. Jerome Hoffman left Pawnee City at a tender age and became a famous scientist, but his absent mindedness was his downfall. Jerome forgot to check a chemical equation. I visited Jerome in the hospital yesterday. Carnegie Hall's great pianist, Galen Johnston, is enjoying married life. Poor Galen does have trouble supporting his seven daughters. Mari- lyn Hopper and Carolyn Bratt are ornitholo- gists (bird scientists). I hear they have been chasing wild geese for years. Eugene Rakos- nik is working feverishly on a hair restorer. Eugene parted with his hair at an early age and has been trying to solve the problem that confronts thousands of men. Bill Huston is the President of the P.C.H.S. (Pawnee City Humane Society). You will find Bill getting up every morning at five o'clock to feed all the stray dogs and cats. Speaking Page 14 of dogs and cats, Donna Shelabarger is oper ating a dog and cat sanctuary. We knew Donna would eventually wind up in this pro- fession because she always had more pets than the rest of the class together. Edna Peacock, Maxine Korber, and Mary Lou Parli are the proprietors of the new cafe, The Greasy Spoon. I always knew they would succeed. Mary Ann Collar is now the manager of Farmer's Food Market. She en- joys herself immensely by sampling all the food with the excuse that she wants to know whether it is stale Charles Spohr is the owner of a great many farms in the county. Bud Callam is Charles' advisor, Bud does all the work, while Charlie collects the money. Their secretaries are Donna Kalina and Carol Williams. David Waddell is the most eligible bachelor in our prosperous community. After cleaning up on the grain market, Dave has retired to a more conservative life. He spends most of his time running from the ladies. Doris Farwell is enjoying her life in the Du Bois vicinity. She was formerly Doris Hess. Betty Stastny has her own dance band now; it's a family orchestra. Doris Brown and Ger- aldine Niss enjoy chatting on Saturday nights. Certainly you remember Doris Bock and Gerry Gifford and their boy friends. Well, they're now married. Mary Perdew and Mary Alice Wilson are passing out oranges to the needy people. They are employed by the County Relief Of- fice. Our county sheriff, Richard Blecha, is so overworked that he has four secretaries. They are Joan and Shrie Alderman, Jane Dodson, and Phyllis Edgerton. Incidentally, their sal- aries are paid by the County. I wonder if Richard sticks to business with so many secre- taries. Since I have told you all the news of my old classmates, I must be catching the next freight. I still have twenty more years to serve in the Foreign Legion.

The band as a marching unit paraded at the Humboldt Fair, the Peru College Band Day, Crusade for Freedom, the half-time football shows, and the traditional Memorial Day Parade. The most important concert performances were the Paw- nee and Richardson county fairs, assembly programs, Falls City Festival, district music contest and the fall and spring concerts.

It is an educational, non-political, non- profit, farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to develop agricultural leadership, character, thrift, scholarship, co- operation, citizenship, and patriotism. Its mem- bers learn through participating experiences how to conduct and take part in public meet- ings, to speak in public, and to assume civic responsibility. The F. F. A. is an intra-curricu- lar part of vocational education in agriculture in the public school system of America. It con- stitutes one of the most effective devices for teaching through participating experiences. The Pawnee City Chapter received its Charter in 1929 and has had an active Chap- ter for 22 years. We have had four advisors: Mr. Rosenberger, 1 year, Mr. Deems, 7 years; Mr. Vance, 13 years, Mr. Ganzel, 1 year. Page 30 ar.H x Toward new horizons First Row Glonda Klein, Frances Jensen.

Pawnee's football warriors started the 1951 season long on ambition and short on talent and experience. The Indians' new chief, Coach Goodwin, found a tough rebuilding job ahead of him as not a regular from 1950's squad re- turned. The great amount of work that Coach Goodwin dedicated to his team was not at all indicated by the team's success. The Indians were scalped four consecutive times before they cracked the win column. The season ended on the same chant it had begun as Tecumsehs rival Indians soundly laced the battle scarred remnants of the Pawnee tribe.. Coach Goodwin taught sportsmanship and morals as well as football and despite a rather disappointing season a fine team spirit prevailed.

Having lost all of last year's successful first team, the present squad has had to work very hard to develop a smooth working team. They show great possibilities for future squads and offer hope for next year. Even though the team has not had such a successful season, great improvement has been shown.

Last spring measures were taken to relieve this situation. On May 15, 1951 the voters of Pawnee City Public School District approved the issuance of bonds to finance the construction of a new vocational agriculture and industrial arts shop. The Board of Education employed Mr. George R. Unthank of Lincoln as architect. As the re- sult of bids presented during the summer, the contract for construction was awarded to Mr. P. L. Pestinger who offered the lowest bid. Work was started in September and the pic- ture on this page shows the building during construction. The building, which is forty by one hundred feet, was completed at an ap- proximate cost of $38,000.00 in time to be used the second semester of the present school year. Our seniors are proud to have shared in the use of this fine addition to the school plant and the expansion in the program of the voca- tional and industrial department.
