Put them all together and they spell parents. And we want to thank them once a ain. If all the sorrows of this weary earth— The pains and heartaches of humanity-— If all were gathered up and given me, I still would have my share of wealth and worth Who havt, you. Friend of Old, to be my cheer Through life's uncertain fortunes, year by year. Thank God for friends, who dearer grow as years•increase Who, as possessions fail our hopes and hands. Become the boon supreme, than gold and lands Mor. precious. Let all else, if must be, cease; But Lord of Life, I pray on me bestow The gift of friends, to share the way I gc THOMAS CURTIS CLARK For the1 past three years, we, the students of Pawnee Township High School, have edited an annual titled INDIAN ECHOES. Each year we have tried to make this publication a little better than that of the preceding year. V.'e sincerely hope that we have succeeded in doing so. V e are all living in a rapidly chancing post-war world. The INDIAN ECHOES staff of 1947 has attempted to capture and hold forever precious moments of our happy and carefree high school days. By compiling all of these memories into one book, we may in after years open the book and live again our high school days. Regardless of what our future lives may be or wh .t Fate holds in store for each Of us, no one will have the power to erase these memories from our hearts. It is the ardent wish of the staff and myself to succeed in this attempt. If we do accomplish our aim, we will consider INDIAN ECHOES of 1947 a job well done.

CLASS MOTTO: FORWARD,EVER - BACKWARD, NEVER CLASS FLOWER: ROSE CLAoS COLORS: BLUE ALT) WHITE r. r' j I TSn.«'t that lovely nusic? It � 's our own Jane3arda Minder sinline her new. hit, Let Richard out., Kilroy was Here. Well, it. looks like Mrs. Welch?' s.peech in glee club sure, did help her. My g osh, who is t hat priveleged character that just drove up, must be somebody since they flashed this machine so you could see him. Is t hat Don Millburg , in hia now. Zipper Car? It sure is a beauty, the car, wa mean. He just finished referring t he Uhiversity of Pawnee game. Ho wonder they won. Don's pretty good at that sort of stuff l By the way, while we were in California, we saw- an advertisement of twin beds, at the Dot Sanders Co. We wonder i f she still remembers that joke? She probably does, that is why she is laughing so hard right now. Dizzy Reed is the Pawnee commentator over Station PTHS. He is now reading the latest gab. What s that. Marge Fow.-ler isn t living up to the part she played in a play, as an old maid school teacher? Oh, w.e see, she has just announced her engagement to Sonny Lestershay, or what ever his name is. That's swell Marge, we knew you -would never be an old maid with Sonny around. Well there is a taxi and we must leave now, but wait who is the driver. No, it can't be, but naturally who else, Pat, McCormick ! I He must still love to drive, but now; he gets paid for it. Y e shall tell Pat where we want to go, and take off'with a bang, as usual!! Dot and Smitty, The hardest tumble a man can take is to fall over his ovn bluff. There is fixed justice in this too. No man can hope to win through bluff while other do honest work to win. As wc were touring the country we decided to stop at New Y ork and see the treat invention of tclivisic. This machine shows you almost anything and anywhere, so wc decided to look up the Senior Class of '47 from Pawnee. It's tuning in now, well what do you know, if it isn't a skating rink coming into view. is that Kirby? I guess her desire to skate with Lincoln has finally come. They understand me rifht, they I said, own Starbright Flower Bed a place near Lincoln, what a coincedence I I wonder what this button could b for. My gosh, a basketball game at the U. of I., University of Pawnee. Y es, pawnee is quite a town now, I mean city. The University is playing for national championship tonight. According to the score lawnec is way ahead, as usual. I wonder who the coach is. Don't tell me it'3 Doc Underwood. It must be, why yes of course it is. No wonder we are winning. Vifho's announcing the game play by play? It sounds like a familiar voice, let's see now who is it? Oh, of course. Bill Buckles. Remember him? He's sure doing a swell job of it. My gosh, anothor basket for Pawnee. You know something, the basketball team ell look elike. It's the five Sisko Kids. No wonder, Castle sure does look rrroud of them, setting on the bench. She's assistant me.neger-. What a noise. Oh, rardon us, it's p yell for Pawnee. Who ere those cheeriorders? They sure ere good. Is that’ Hix end ’’eanuts yelling with them? It must be, no wonder, have vou ever heard of Walnut, Hickorynut, nd- Deanut Jr? I wonder who they belong to. I couldn’t guess, could you? Let's turn this knob °nd see what harrens.- 0h‘, an orchestra. Listen i This is Hon on your toe, featuring-Boosty Groh. Don't you remember his coronet nlaylng? He took Hemes Jerry's elace In the movies. Is that the Froggy -ryers nlaving a trombone solo? Right now he Is in a contest against Guy Gombardo I I just heard the other day that Marge Sharp Is playing in Spike Jones Philharmonic Orchestra at Town Hall. She must be as good ps B 00s t pnd Frongy What's that funny sound we hear in a distance, now I -see, it's Sally Brawner rehearsing her own radio urogram, Georges ’ First Wife, the, critics say it's a hit. Itr sounds like it hit something. Oh, u- rdon us, that's just a commercial. Worrder whose it is? Could' that be from ay's Gr'll? Well, I guess it must-be. And it is Amy eating one of her snecial mburgers, tomntoee and all. Sure does look good. I, Bill Buckles, will my wavy hair to Burnt) Sand dge who was go 1 ng to get a permanent, but when he found I w uld leave my hair to him, changed his mind. I, Betty Cpstle, leave my ability to wrestle, to Dot Sisk, who is well on her way to being the chamoion lady wrestler of the school. I, Elain Curby, will my small stature to Posie Kessler, in hopes of stunting her growth a litftle bit. I, Betty Ford, leave my ability to make my side of the question understood—but def ini tely--to Laura Student. Lisa I v;ould like to leave my glasses to all the referees in the basketball world because they surely need them in my opinion. I, Margery Fowler, will to Betty Lou Davidson, my dancing ability as a Tanglefoot Sister. Also I think she will need m? cheerleading tights to attain this position. I, Joanne Gatton, leave mv ability to acouire athletic men to Mary Ellen Smith, who doesn't seem to v erry about such Hum-Drum characters at the present, P. S. Don't worry Smitty, I'll give you plenty of time J I, Bob Groh, will my technioue of drawing mermaids to Don Eson. Also I might leave my swooning girls to Romeo Ronnie Scott. I,'Art Millburg, v ho limns around when I have a sprained wrist, do declare to leave my good logics °nd long legs to James Brown. The legs are to help you get a little taller. I, Jane Minder, will my vcakness to cry about lost basketball games to ‘.Vanda Huffine. I hope she enjoys the games as much as I have. I, Pat McCormick, and I believe I am all here,(at least I'm all here that isn’tthere) do want to leave my car and girls to someone who will need them, such as Gene Mulvaney. here there is a girl shortage, ’’ hat about it Mulvaney? I, Dizzy Reed, leave my jinx of missing school, my good grades, and nicknsne to 'Vayne Dnvidson. I, Dot Sanders, will my long hair to Shirley Manning. Also my ability to m°ke friends to Bump Sandidge, who seems to have a godd start. Especially he and Art Mill-burr who are very much in love. Have you seen them together at the show? If not, you are missing something. We, the seniors of 1947, do hereby draw up and leave our treasures to the teachers who will be here after wc are cone. We want especially to leave our good qualities (ahem) to the Juniors who will step into our shoes next y car We, the seniors as a class, leave the coach, Bob Groh's Sinatra bow tie and a new pair of stockings to match. We thought you would lik c some bright red one’s so we tried hard and wc found them too. Wc, the seniors, leave to Mr. Walker, a new edition of a daily newspaper, printed by the Seniors, for his special reports in history each day. We want to leave Miss McCutchan a pair of microscopic glasses to enable h er to find the things she misplaces, but never loses. Wc hope they help her. To Mrs. Welch wc would like to leave a new pair of knitting needles because we arc afraid the old ones are worn out. We, the sejaiors., will to Mrs. Taylor a bottle of red ink to use in checking her papers. We knowshe won't need it because of the very smart students who arc in her classes. To Mr. Fl-ish, w the Seniors, leave a new chemical, discovered by his three bright chemistry students, c ailed Ncveruscthis so that he may go on with his experiments and become one of the genius' in the scientific world. Wc hope everyone will cn$oy these new things and v c want them to ut them to use. We shall send an unspcctor back next year to see if they are in use, and if they aren't be-in;; used, vie shall degrade the school ten points, on the use of old equipment. And now to get on with the treasures of the individuals of our class. I, JamcsAycrs, do declare that in sound mind and memory (as far as I know, which isn't too far) do leave my physique to Bob Sanders so that he rnay some day grow up and be a man like me. I, Norma Brawncr, leave my sedate manner to 4,4ary Lou W., v ho has almost equaled me and maybe my part will help her a little bit. I, Peanuts Sanders,'lepve ny gift of gpb,'and my brain to Johnny Stitdent. U ou see the brains won’t he If) much, but the gab night come in handy with all those girls you h ve to keep off. lf MarJ Sharp, will ny long fingers ond orofessi-'nal oiano talent (One of Jose Iturbi’s students) to Bob Go-li ghtlv. I, Doc Underwood, leave ny wave in ny hair to Joe G. y the king. I know he won’t appreciated it, for witli a swish of his nogic wand he c-uld have a head full of waves. I would like to leave ny athletic skill to Glen Curtis, who is well on his V '-TT to being a basketball star. As, seniors, -e do hope the school - ill continue to go forward s it has this year, e have oil enjoyed school very much °nd we want each and everyone of you to know how much we enurec ia te it.

' plants an' such; Algebra is pretty good, And gym--well it 'ain't' much'. Typing class is pretty dull, And English IV is boring; In study H all we're kept awake By the other feller's snoring! In every class we slave- away; We work, we sweat, we suffer-- We're just in the same ol' rut, And nothing could be tougher. If someone asked me just what class I favored of the bunch, I'm afraid I would reply, My stomach says it's lunch! By June Bogle. If a child annoys you,quiet him by brushing his hair..
