Throucfcour combined effort v e have proved that no matter how bleak and dismal the world may be,the teen-ager comes through with flying colors. Sue ’ alker Editor MR. V'alkER Mr. Walker is the Chief of Police here at Pawnee High. He makes the arrests and passes sentence upon all violators of the laws. He is just and righteous in carrying out his task. In addition to guiding the adolescents, he oversees his plain-clothes poliee force (the faculty) with a gentle, but firm hand. Chief of Police Walker has done an excellent job of teaching us the laws and by-laws of this educational establishment, and we who remain and we who leave sincerely thank him for his firm guidance.

The first portion of this program is brought to you through the courtesy of Bill Springer's Hot-Rod garage. Do you own a 1965 Cadillac thrt you wont converted Into a hot-rod? Just dial Bill. He uses his own special formula for converting r brand new buggy into one you’ll not recognize. 'York .guaranteed I Have vou heard the latest? Y.’ell I i 1 Jin Dickey has come out of his rorkshop where he has been busy writing n novel. It is a world sensation I i I The title of this v onder book is Life v:Ith Lois . Lois, of course, is no other than Lois Dozier, who attended Pawnee High School. I an sure that Lois and Jin are happy that the book is such a smash hit. The first record on our program this evening is a W. Q. A. record. There has been a lot of talk going around town about this record and, of course, about the nev; singer. I dare not keep you in suspense any longer. Let’3 give a listen to that latest hit Weep , by that fabulous singer Tear-Drons Nation.- - - Wasn't that sad? There have been more people buying handkerchief's these past days, I v onder why??? Now for an important announcement. If any of you fellows and girls are having trouble with your big moment , just jot a note explaining-your problems to Ellen Oermann. Her address in 10 Catch Your Hen St., New York, N. Y. Believe me, she can refill thinlc of the answers. I wonder when the big day is for Blanche? She is making no statement, but everyone is expecting Blanche Catteau, newly appointed Treasurer of the United States, to elope any day with one of her ny assistants in the Treasury Department. Blanche has ouite a knack for making a budget and sticking to it. I wonder what kind of a budget she will set up for him????????????? The next part of our nro ram is brought to you through the courtesy of the 'Tomer Schnapp Kotor-Scooter Uenufpeturing Company . All ’ kids should have one of Homer's scooters. V hat. tech: 'wuo 1 Y hot speed'. Easy starting'. All desired colors'. n3 sure to hurry and get your footer today, because he has only 9,999,999 left. The v ord was passed around the other day that a fellow stopped in at John Minder’s brand nev; Filler Up-Fixet Garage. Being the first custoner, he was cordially greeted by John. Looking at the pcs punps he said, I'll have Ethel please. John said, I'n sorry but I'm the only one here '.'. 1 Our next record features Rosa Lee Galloway at the oiano. Rosa Lee is climbing to the top in the music world after having begun her career in her high school days at Pawnee. She will nicy for us the famous Chopin's Lost Music . Listen closelv to find the lost music'.'.'. Nova Edge breezed in from Texes today. Have you ever seen so many ribbons and medals?? That girl really knows how to handle her cattle. Imagine raising a. thousand short horn cattle--heaven knows, maybe some long horns too--right?? ?? ? Get your supply of bubble-gun, '■.ids, and practice for the contest. It should really be a whiz 1 The contest is going to be held at the Gene Gilbert-Bob V illcnborg bubble-Gum Studio. 3ob has always yrnted to sponsor a contest. Gene is going to pick the person who blows the longest but the smallest bubble. The prize is a year's supply of bubble gum. So'-e ehev;ingl'. I The University of Pawnee has announced the new football coach--Bill Dickey. It the last college where Mr. Dickey coached he had a sensational record. His team played two games and won both of them. ”.'e arc hoping that his record this year will be lust as good. Hold that line, Bill 1 11 Vie received word the other day that Sue Walker is doing marvelous work at Camp Guy Lee. She hod a difficult time training the men to bcpt their drums to the music. Imagine a rerching army band without good drums. The next record on our program is by none other than Pat Phillips, the new Mrtronolitan Opera Star. Miss Phillips sings now, The Enchantment of Claire dc Lune . There has been a rumor around town that Pat will give up her career and listen to soar- operas on the radio. Is this because of a certain Chuck of luck, we wonder??????? Kathleen IVillcnborg and her escort were seen in Dick Sander's famous Y,’c .'anna Fat Club. Kathleen, of course, is the owner of the nev; and successful Passionate theater She has some really hep shows, for instance Donna Gore and | Rudolf Luzzine starring in Catch Drift . Miss Gore was once a student at Pawnee High School. She is to star in another picture before very long. Be sure to try the V c Y anne Eat” Club, folks. One of its main attractions is the trout stream rv. :Lng through the main banquet hall. Ed Buckles, the rous basketball coach, is being rehired by the Mighty Midgets , the only midget basketball team in the U. S. Ed, is trying to pass a rule allowing his term to use pogo sticks in jumping. The committee is taking a very ?Todel-T viev; of this. Here’s a jivey number by Frank King, the Bayou Boy . Say, don’t forget to listen in to Frankie’s own T.V. show, station CORN on channel ’53 He’s bound to go far with this show. His latest hit is a song he used to sing back in his high school days at Pawnee and also the song which gave him his name, Jambalaya . Dorothy Alvies is asking for more members in her new ij.-H (spelled for Harry ) Club. The members of this club are trying to perfect a new, more healthful variety of garden weeds. Dorothy says if the v eeds won't grow well, she will just give up and work with the club in her spare time, Speaking of new ideas - Jim V� ‘agner is trying to find a way to make a Cadillac fit in a Crosley size parking place. His brilliant idea is to make the car fold up when you push a. certain button. He'd be in a pickle if he pushed that instead of the starter. Rosemary Lard was informed yesterday that her rich uncle left all his oil fields to her. She says she’ll have to hang her clothes line between the derricks. She has 12 little grease-spots , so that takes a great deal of clothes-line space. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite singer. This contest between Dean Chastecn and Lerio Manza closes next week, so rustle your u '.sties and mark up the votes. Dean is a real gone .nger. The clock on the ail is making faces at me, so I'll see you ’round—like doughnut. mtemm Jim Dickey: I won't stand in your way—I'm going away. Far a way. T'nybc I’ll join the Foreigh Legion.

SENIOR '‘'IASS HISTORY The Fc r Shoe giq3S We reckon the time has come to bid you all farewell, , and we feel powerful sad knowin' how much you’ll mi33 us all here at Pawnee High. But, the partin’ time has just come and there ain't nothin' nobody kin do. -Now you all know how it is when you just out prow a pair of shoes, doncha? You gotta buy a new pair and, boy, them thar new shoes sure cost a heap a lot of dough these days. Just the same, we aim to buy a pair of ’em to wear for the rest of our lives, for thats' what we been a savin' all our learnin' for the past four years--just to be able to wear a pair of them life-long shoes--the most expensive of all; 'cause they ain't the kinda shoes that ere good for only six or eight months, but the life time guarantee ones. Now we all started a savin' our learnin' in Nineteen hundred and Forty-nine when we crawled through the doors cf Pawnee High in our little green laced booties. Yep, you know when ya first start out you gotta take things kinda e sy, so booties seemed quit' practical in those days. After a perty tryin' year, we finally all got to where we could stand in 30ft sole shoes and grasp a heap a more learnin' as Sophomores should. VJe also grasped a little dough on the side by celL’u1 basketball schedule pencils and a havin' a magazine s After another perty cryin' but successfull year we all found it high time to put cn some hard sole shoes, 'cause the road was a gettin' just a little rough in spots. This year as Juniors we acted out one of them there picture shows. The name of the thing was Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick. We also put on a grand Ball known as the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. finally, we have reached the top in one sense of the word, but in another we ere just at the bottom, 'cause now we ere ready to put on them life time slippers. If we think we went through some perty tryin' stages in high school, I guess we just don't know what a rough road is accordin' to what we been a hearin'. But there am only one way to find out how rough she is and that way we ere about to come up against. But you know, we've had some mighty good shoe shiners all these years, and they been a tryin' to make them slippers shine like golden slippers, so we ere awful grateful to them shoe shinenin' professors, and we think we can keep 'em shinin' 'cause we all got a heap a lot of learnin' so we oughta get a heap a lot a wear out of them thar slippers. Bless my soul, I almost forgot to mention the shoe laces that kept our different shoes tied firmly through the years. Booty Laces The Eyes Soft Shoe Laces The Eyes President Vice Pres.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Well, we rolled out this year v ith 26 members in the junior class. At our first overhaul the following ’’wheels' were elected president, Bonnie Halford; Vice-Prosident, Elmer Havonar; Secretary, Jesse Ayers; Treasurer, Viayne Russell, and the big wheel (our class sponsor) Miss Fanakos. We started our drags with a skatin' party at Taylor-ville, then later had a weinic cook at the Lcderbrand homestead. At the P.H.A. racket (carnival to you) wo had a dart throw and a cakewalk. Tain't said that the Junior Class are shot rods, we had the F.H.A. Carnival Queen, JoAnn Groh, from our gang. We also had an attendant to the Queen, Catherine O'Brion. We really laid off a strip in October, got second we were so hot, a magazine sale was in order and--------it was successful. The losin team gave the winnin team a party. That was a party? I? 1 In November we had a flat, four of em', no dates, no drag matches, ro nuttin' just play practice. The great master piece was titled FOOTLOOSE . And believe me it was, it was a howlin' success! The class contributed much to the sports of the school. To football went the followin' veterans; Rodger Kerr, Vernon Maltby, Dale Gore, Jim Lard, Don Reynolds, and Elmer Havenar. To basketball wont the followin' cagers; Don Roynolds, Elmer Havenar, Jim Lard, Rodger Kerr, and our Manager Dale Gore. I imagine May 9, was the date the town cop got ulcers from worrying about all the rods at the Junior-Senior Prom wo gave. The next mornin' you could scrap the rubber off the road and recap your tires, thero was so much. Oh, by the way it (THE PROM) was a succoss tool I '. I SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On Aupust 27, 1952, Pawnee High was again jarred by the entry of forty-three convicts and shoplifters, as we were called in those days. Well, we already had a gang; and where there’s a gang, there must be an overseer, so Mr. Leirer was chosen as the warden. These trusties tried to keep us in check:president Roger Hill; vice-president, David Dickey; secretaryMarilyn Crowder; treasurer, Bill Olson. We can still remember our first clambake yes,you guess ed it—a weiner roast. It v;ns held behind the high school. That was our night to ’’howl • Then our first big shindig of the first semester came, no, not the Dark Town Strutters Bail but the F. H. A. Fall Carnival. V e chose two giggly gals 'or our candidates for queen, Carolyn Smith better known a. Lmitty and Marilyn Crowder better known as Ooch. At ;bis carnival we broke the Coach’s skull, and as the Coach couldn’t do without it we had to replace the thing. V e were thankful that Roger Hill had his pilots license, for he flew us outto the cornfield in his jeep to pick up corn. Mr. Leirer ordered all pickpockets to make their own way from then on, so our first projects was the sale of basketball pencils. Later in the year he twisted our arms again and ordered us to sell magazines. The ’’Warden said everyone was glad that we had made a little money, and that now we wouldn't have to Borrow from them. In basketball the following inmates played on theteam; Bob Oregurich, Dick Gregurich, Bill Olson, Roger Hill, David Dickey, Duane Henson, Skip Minder, Arden Davidson, and John Clark. This year as a hole ended pretty well for the slop-mores. V e all had our share of work and play. See you next year—if we get out. Freshman Class History August sixth, nineteen fifty two, the windows of the old building shook and rattled as a new class of real-gone bee-boppers descended upon Pawnee High and 0’iietly (?????) took their places in study hall. In most high schools they would be called freshman, but at Pawnee High we have long since dispensed with such formalities and here they are called replacements. These replacements were told to repor; on September tenth in the proper garb designated by the upper-classmen. Onsaid day the initiation ceremonies took place. Now the initiation, as you could easily have seen, Is a hard and rugged ordeal which ell freshmen must endure before they ore legally declared bee-bopper3. After the initiation there wes a freshman-senior shi.n-dig that nearly rocked old Pawnee High off its foundations. Because of lack of space and ingenuity we shall give you nothing but . the brief and brutal facts (not even rll of these, mind yoy of our infancy here. The first class meeting, ccld September fifteenth, was presided over by Mr. Walker. The following were elected officers: Mari on'G'lbert, president (Head man, hmm girls?) Rachel Ackerson, vice president; Sharon Linton, secretary (A bad case of writer’s cramps. ); Pill Gregurich, treasurer (Bill we owe a lot to you in dues!); Mrs. Watts, spon- sor (Our poor overworked £nglish teacher who is loved and appreciated by oil her students but to whom we ley first claim.) Freshman Calendar of Evonts September 12-Football season was opened (with the help of the freshman boys.) October-Judy Underwood and Beverly Scatter.good were nominees for queen at our annual F. H.

Along this old pathway the c rs shine so bright, Which makes life worth living, a joy and delight.

Last year we sent eight solos and ensembles to the State Contest at Macomb. This year we are sending twelve vocal solos, two vocal ensembles, two piano solos, ten Band solos, eight Band ensembles, the Band and three choruses to the District Contest at Havana. T' e hope many of them will go on to State. The Chorus Festival will be held at Tri-City and the Band Festival at Pleasant Plains. This year the chorus bought red material for robes and the girls and their mothers made them. They were worn at the Christmas Cantata, the chorus presented, and we consider them a great asset. This was the first year for a Cantata to be presented. It was recorded and ployed on tue square during the Christmas Holidays. The band played at most of tn football and basketball games. There are 92 members in Beginning, Junior and Concert Band combined and 38 memcers in Concert Band, This year a new set of bells and a cymbal were contributed by the Band Boosters. V.’e deeply regret that Mrs. uuthkamp will not be with us next year but we are truly grateful for all she has done for us tne past five years.

BASKETBALL V.'e started basketball practice November 19th. Our first game was with New Berlin, there. In the Waverly Holiday Tournament we placed fourth. In the Sangamon County Tournament v;e came up with second place honors, bein,-r defected by a tall Tri-City team after winning from Riverton by one point and from uburn by two with an exciti: • overtime. In the District Tournament we were defeated by Farmersville in our first game. This year we won the M.S.K. Conference without shoring the honor. VVc closed the season with a record of twenty wins and seven losses. For this year's season, we won a first place trophy, a second place trophy, and a fourth place trophy.

FEr SQUAD The Fep Squad consists of almost all of the boys and girls in school. They really displayed good sportsmanship as well as the school spirit this year. The Pep Squad won the good Sportsmanship trophy at the Waverly Holiday Tournament. We were quite proud of this because this s the first time it has ever been given. The Pep Squad has followed the team to every game this year and have done as much as possible in helping the team win. rah: rah: rah: Cheerleaders Mr. Walker called a meeting of all the shoplifters, convicts, sharpshooters and what have you. The purpose was to select five Squaws to represent the Indians. The following Squaws were chosen: Gertrude Cave, Ellen Germann, Donna Gore, Rosemary Lard � ' Bonnie Halford. We have a baby papoose as our mascot. She is Pawneta Lard. That little papoose will some day bo a Pawnee Indian Squaw. These Squaws have done a wonderful Job of backing the Indians. They also won the trophy for the best performers in the Holiday Tournament. Keep up the good work in ;he future and may the Indians be well represented an' ' backed by a fine bunch of papooses as they have in the years of 1952 and 1953. ■ GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Girls Physical Education Class and their KeenTeen teacher, Miss Fanakos, have had a hot oime in the old gym this year. There are sixty girls in cue class, and all sixty have had a rip-roarin’ time, whether making the most hits on tne ball field or fouling out of the game when you have 2 seconds to go. This year we started off with softball. Then we got cold and moved into tne gym for kickball. As the season progressed, we began ou . own high spirited basketball sciim-nage. Students were referees at these games and brave were those who volunteered. The ever popular volleyball series ' began, we played in groups, and sometimes classes. uite often there were spectators at our games. That Is, some of the fellows who could sneak out of study hall without getting caught. Je are very pleased that they take such interest in our techniques. The Girls hove appreciated the time and effort that hliss, Fanakos put forth to make them skillful in athletics and to create the desire for good sportmanship. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION We started with fifty boys in tne class, so you can imagine what a good time we nod playing touch football at the beginning of the year. 7itn the upper classmen at one ind and the under classmen at the otner end of the football field, the football players had to be careful not to get iurt. Unen cold weather came we retreeted to the gym to lay various games sucn as: pony express, dribble elay, lumber basketball, crows and crane , steal the bacon, volley Jail, and we also had our share of calisthenics.(ugh) Tne coacn divided the class when basketball started and the boys had a tournment involving four teams. •when old man winter ' left we played softball the remainder of the year. ”t also enjoyed many helpful discussion sessions about health. This we did during P. E. period. As you can see we hd a well rounded ?. E. class and we thank the coach for a lot of good times. All in all I think it teaches us good sportsmanship and I nave never seen a better bunch of good sports than tne fellows in the ”53” class. GIRLS P.
