Pawnee High School is very proud and honored to have Miss Carolyn Smith as its D. A. R. award winner. Carolyn has been active in F. H. A., chorus, and social activities. On January 22, at the Abraham Lincoln Hotel, Carolyn and Mrs. Brooks attended a luncheon given in honor of the winners by the D. A. R. Chapter, Springfield, Illinois. At this time she received a pin and a certificate. Congratulations Carolyn, on being chosen Pawnee High's Good Citizen, GLASS OF FIFTY FIVE In Pawnee High there's a class so great It is destined so ty the hands of fate To do its best it will always strive The Almighty Class of 55 It is outstanding in many ways And will bring Pawnee High its greatest days To those of you who do not agree It says to you, Just wait and see In athletics it will conquer all Its mighty teams will never fall In knowledge too, it is quite blessed Those in its class will pass any test And when It leaves dear Pawnee High The teachers will just moan and sigh But to the school it brought great fame And the Class of 55 was to blame by Skin Minder FIRST-CLASS PASSENGER PRO HECT Listen to my tale, and you’ll soon jive 'What became of the ciass of fifty-five; Pawnee High has never been the same Since they left her halls to seek their fame. Ten swift years have already flown by. But we have traced each gal and guy. Of their joys and success now we’ll sing-- With hopes that fond memory to you we’ll bring. Marilyn Ackerson just adored To buzz around town in her little brown Ford; But now it’s all changed, for when she goes out, Marilyn buzzes a baby carriage about. Freda Alvies was a sweet little thing-- To but one ambition her hopes did cling. With a haopy ending now closes her story, For in a' home with children she does glory. Everett Ayers is farming with ease. For he has a wife who strives to please; She milks and olows and works with care While Everett sits in his rocking chair. Jane Blakley had her future planned, And that future, of course, included a man. Along came Gene, as sure as can be. And now they have a lovely family. Senei became a TT, S. Marine; To see the world he was ever keen; But the sergeant took one look at the lad, And never a trip has Senei had. Beverly Cave has opened a school Attended by many a gay old fool; And you can see with but a glance That Bev’s teaching the hula dance. Books and teachers to John Clark were a bane; In fact, John was sure they’d drive him insane But they must have done him no great harm. For John now runs a well-known farm. Rita Clark studied days and even at night. For she had sickness and disease to fight. Her career would have gone much further, I’m sure. Had a certain young doctor not married her. Marilyn Crowder, a prima donna is she. Truly a credit to dear old Pawnee. •Twixt Paris and London and Springfield she flies. And e’er to reach a higher note she tries, Arden Davidson dreamed of modern Ag., But his career soon hit a snag; And instead of using the modern scheme. He works his fields with plow and team. A brilliant athlete was Janice D, She got a contract with T. V. Turn on your set and you will see Janice wrestling her way to victory. Air-conditioning was Bob De Lay's game; All the world's currents he tried to tame I Some winds he tied up, some winds he let go--But in this field Bob’s still the big blow. David Dickey was clothes conscious, there's no doubt; He was one of the best dressed fellows about. Dickey's Dandy Dude Shoppe now stands on Pawnee square Pink overalls, plaid shoes, and purple shorts are featured there, Louise liked basketball or any other game. But little did she know this would bring her fame. She had the pep, and she had the steam. And now she manages the '’Dickey basketball team. To run an elevator was David Dozier's big dream. But it would never happen, it did seem; But now he runs an elevator in a store. And David will let you off at any floor. Beverly Edwards was quiet, there is no doubt; It was very unusual to hear her shout. But now you're likely to hear her scream As Beverly coaches her football team, Nancy Edwards traveled far and wide. Always with her husband at her side; And now in Africa's sunny clime As missionary spends her time. To operatic world Maris Estill was bound; Her voice to the critics made a beautiful sound. And now in later years Maris we behold Singing cigarette commercials for Old Gold. Don Foster airplanes always did love — His thoughts ever strayed far up above. But these dreams Don v as unable to keep; Uncle Sam put him to work--driving a jeep, Donna Frazier planned to deal in beauty— To make all women glamorous she thought her duty. Her plans all went well, and today re discover Donna waving the hair of each Hollywood lover, Bev Gonterman wanted to travel afar In a great big shiny Cadillac car; But her dreams were interrupted by an unknown source — She is now coming to Pawnee riding a horse, Charlie Gonterman now leads a band And travels o'er the entire land. Bobby Soxers o'er him swoon and sigh. For he's music's most popular guy. Bob Gregurich to Hollywood did go, Quite confident he'd steal the show. But a pretty girl soon turned his head. And now Bob's a Kresge floorralker instead. The hearts of girls Dick Gregurich did win--He left them all in quite a spin; But the tables turned, and now we find The girls have left poor Dick far behind. Nancy I-Iavenar into business did go; She was always efficient and never slow. When faced with a problem, a coin she would toss — The last time she flipped, she got the boss. Duane Henson worked hard and long To learn to ride horses and sing each cowboy song. On his first attempts he hit the ground. So he had to settle for a merry-go-round, Roger Hill to be an engineer did start, But now he's pushing a luggage cart, YVhat happened to Rog no one can tell — Just ask Judy who stole the wedding bell. Few desires had Eva Mae King— A man, a home, a wedding ring. Success she had; she snared the lad. And now he's working for her dad. Gene Lederbrand a farmer aspired to be. But such a farmer you never did see I Fishing and hunting and chasing the coon. To agriculture he'll ne'er be a boon. Bob Minden, a school jester always will be; His jokes will go down through eternity. He rakes his poor brain for jokes that will tease As all the pretty girls he strives to please. A very bright boy in school was Bill Minder; Books or teachers this lad never did hinder. But Skip soon lost his brilliant touch. And now he is pulling a tractor clutch. Eleanor flounce, so I've heard. Rivals any mocking bird. As music teacher she holds sway And teaches notes the live long day. And then there was Rita O'Brien, sweet, pretty, and slim. Her one main ambition was to catch her a him. She accomplished this foat and from what I've heard tell, V ith her hubby and six kids is getting along well Romeo had never a thing on Billy Jo, For he had a girl where'er he'd go; But he wised up, and that's for sure. And he's now a well-known bachelor. Don Rape thought that the perfect day would be Vhen he could eat, sleep, and watch T. V. But I'm afraid that day never came. For v ith a family to support, life's not the same Patsy Russell was married that June, And soon olayed the old familiar tune--Dishes and diapers, dust cloths and mops--A fate that Patsy thinks is tops. Carolyn Smith wanted to decorate the interior-- In this one field we were sure she'd be superior. And then what happened? Well, along came Bill, And. the extent of her decoration was a plant on the v indow sill. Hollywood seemed Don Surber's destination. But Don didn't get past Union Station; For Uncle Sam also thought Don was cute And would look stunning in an Army suit.

Conductor Takacs called us together, and we, e-lected as our trustees: Florence Olson, president; Aleda Butler, vice-president; Tom HcTaggart, secretary; Hallie Fulk, treasurer. At our first stop, we called all the passengers on The Pawnee Express to a rootin', tootin', skatin' party. Two othei interesting stops were made at the F. H. A. Fall Carnival, where the Sophs had Dunk the Monkey and the basketball toss as their concessions; and at the P. H. S. Reservation where we sold pencils for the Indians' basketball team. The losers unhooked the Coach Car for an evening to give a party for the winners of the pencil selling contest. Since we had completed me successful business venture, we decided to try to sell ..ron-on-letters and numerals. The passengers got tirrd of sitting around, so the Sophs sold magazines to pc.: s the tine (Pnd to make money.'). Then v:e decided to ride the r ils for a while and had a Iiobo Day. When we fiurd the dining car closed, we sold th passengers dozens of tasty doughnuts. Two of our gals were mixing with royalty ' when they served as maids in the queen's court rt th Carnival. Our two lovelies were Julie Baker and Barbara Minder. Another of our gals, Sardra Alexander by name, was exosen as one cf our cheerleaders for the F. P. S. Indians. Cf course, so many aopho.;ore boys were rompin' nrocuii that the Conductor pot them on the Indians' football, basketoa’J, and baseball teams. The class of 57 have enjoyed their ride i; the ;ear of '51+ ana '55. If they can scrape up enough money for tickets, they'll be back on the train next year. SWITCHMEN HISTORY The Pawnee Express roared into town bearing only ono car 58.It wasn't destined to be a long train--only U Cc-rs, one for each year and they were each to have a name. Determination , Progress , Accomplishment , and Success , Determination had started out as a shiny car headed by a great crew. President, Darrell Rhodes; vice-president. Bob Alexander; secretary, Sheila Wagner; treasurer, Donna Gregurich and 37 passengers. But 58 had covored a let of territory over the past school term. The day we hit the town called Initiation it looked like the end. But it was a tough car which lived up to the name Determination and chugged on with only a few scratches and small dents. Next stop was a party town where tho car stopped for minor repairs,which were completely cured by a weiner roast and dance. So on went 58 with stops everyday foreducation. There was a Carnival town reached in October in which all the passengers participated. It was called Sheet Operation and was governed by two beautiful maidens, Donna Gregurich and Sheila Wagner, who were candidates for queen. Next stop was Sport Town U. S. A. at which the boys on 58 displayed much skill in basketball and football. So tho train finished the first year and the determination had not let up. It had been a long ride and oven a little rough at times. (Especially that Ghost Town called semesters). But the destination had been reached and tho passengers were a littib battered yetvory proud. Now friends had been made and Ip. minds had been improvod by learning. So as the train whistle blew and the car called Pt egress began to hook on the class of '58, a little older and much wiser, wore ready for the second yoar of travel. Their determination to Progress in culture and learning was shin ing in their eyes, shining like a new coat of paint on old 58. 2. That Ipano smile111S11III 3. Bottom’s up, freshies!!!! 4.

H. A. Fall Carnival. This was a huge success with the New Orleans All-Star Revue ,the Advertisers Show,cake walk, coat check, country store, dunk-the-monkey, and many other concessions. We all danced to the music of Carl Rand's Orchestra from 9 to 12 o'clock, but we stopped at 10 o'clock for the coronation of the Carnival Queen. She was selected by a popularity vote of the student body this year. Our queen was Patsy Russell, who was escorted by Bill Olson.She was crowned by F.F.A. vice-president, David Dozier. Queen Patsy's attendants were Beverly Gonterman,Marilyn Muncy, Beverly Scattergood, Julie Baker, Barbara Minder, Donna Gregurich, and Sheilah Wagner. MUSICAL CAR Passengers aboard the Musical Car have been quite busy this year preparing for the music festival and district contest held at Auburn, Illinois. Through the tireless effort of our director, Mr. P. Coler, we have been able to lay aside our troubles and bring forth the talent that has been created here at Pawnee High. Members of the bands and choruses have presented programs at P. T. A., football and basketball games. This year we sent 5 vocal solos, 2 vocal ensembles, 3 band solos--l cornet trio, 1 drum ensemble, 1 brass quintet, 1 clarinet trio, 1 flute duet, the band and two choruses, to the district contest. We hope that the students remaining in high school take advantage of the opportunity given them for good music.

DRUMS OF DEATH11 The Junior Class of 1955 presented their play Drums of Death , on Friday, April 1st, The action of Drums of Death takes place at midnight in a half-ruined mansion in a desolate lagoon, A false telegram has brought an odd assortment of people to this place where evil forces and peoplo threaten their lives. In spite of the half-mad housekeeper, the octoroon girl who has weird trances, and the surly Haitian Negro, they struggle to solve the mystery. The absurd sheriff and saucy Amelia bring laughter to break the tension amidst doath, monsters, and throbbing drums. Characters who helped make the play a success were: Celeste, ......................«.Sharon Linton Sheldon Harley...................... Bill Gregurich Jules..............................

The corn plot rented from the Peabody Coal Company was put in again this year fcr additional money to take a trip at the end of the school term. Some of the trips taken during the school term were to the International Livestock expedition at Chicago, to the stockyards at St. Louis, to the Moorman feed mills at Quincy and to Pillsbury Mills at Springfield.

The only serious injury was a shoulder separation to a good halfback. Throe team members; John Clark, Bill Dozier, and Dick Gregurich received positions on tho all conference team. Roger Hill and Elmer Neal received second team positions, The team will lose eight lettermen by graduation but we hope that the team will enjoy as successful a season in 5 5 as they did in BASKETBALL With a two day root after football season, 29 fellows turned out for the first practice. We won 7 of our first 9 games and then we placed fourth inthe Wavorly Tournament for the fourth year in a row.We’re consistent anyway] We entored the county tournament with a record of 10 wins and 7 losses. We swopt the county tournament in throe straight games. Considering our remaining games and our present record, we have had a very successful basketball season.

A certain two-tone DeSoto weren't in the S W. part of town most of the time. Sue Young weren't out hunting her boxer. (Or is it a fighter?) E. K. didn't call M. D. Twicky. M. E. weren't telling English what she saw on TV the night before. Duane Henson didn't play with Everett Ayers' legs in 7th hour history class. C. S. didn't have to be home by 0:00 for the telephone call from Auburn. P. R. and M. C. didn't go with J. D. and M. F. Everyone were in from their dates by 9:00. The students didn't have a fruard over them all the time. SCHOOL SPIRIT CAR The most ardent fans backing our Pawnee Indians are the Brakemen, Switchmen, and the First and Second Class Passengers, in other words, the entire student body. Although we do have a good team, without the support and never-ending cheers of the pep squad they would not have the strong will to win. The cheerleaders with their leadership ability and with sportmanship in mind, led not only the pep squad, but also the other Pawnee followers to the winning of the Waverly Holiday Cheer Section Trophy. This is an important group which helps build the wonderful school spirit that exists at Pawnee High. CHEERLEADERS The liveliest girls on the ol‘ Pawnee Express are the cheerleaders. Mr. Walker pulled the train off schedule oarly in September to select the following as our 195U-1955 loading rooters: Judy Underwood, Rita Clark, Nancy Havonar, Sandra Alexander, Rachaol A'ckorson, and our little mascot Linda Castleman, These girls are to be commended for the wonderful job they do in leading the Indians on to victory. With such a fine group of girls cheering them on, we were certain to havo a winning team. GIRLS P. E The girls physical education car is now joining the Pawnee Express. Char conductor, Mrs. Berry, is making all last minute checks. Checking the baggage, she finds there is some extra. Upon investigating we find new ping pong, badminton, archery, and volley ball equipment. The car is divided into three sections. The first section assistant-conductors are Carolyn Smith,Marilyn Crowder, and Rita 0 Brien. In the second section the assistant-conductors are Marilyn Ackers on, Eleanor Mounce, and Nancy Havenar, and in the third section Rita Ann Clark and Sandra Alexander. The itinerary for the year includes stops where there are badminton, archery, softball, calisthentics, ping pong, steal the bacon, relays,formations,round and square dancing, volley ball, and basketball. We have had a volley ball and a basketball tournament. Carolyn Smith’s team of section 1 are the champions of both. Our car is coming to a halt this month, and we’ll miss our first-class passengers,who proved themselves capable and cooperative. We’ll have some new passengers next year, and we’re looking forward to still better times. BOYS’ P. E. During the football season we played softball and touch football. After the football season we moved into the gym. We had two classes of P, E. this year, 3rd and 9th hours. We played many games such as numbor basketball,steal the bacon, volley ball,pony express,and dribble relay. Also done, much to the boys’ disappointment,were many calisthenics. With the coming of spring we moved to the softball field. We fellows all had a lot of fun under the coach's supervision and we want to thank him for all the good times as he taught us the points of good sportsmanship.

STUDENTS' TEN CO MANDIiEKTS The following little ditties come from the Moberly, Missouri, Mirror. Here's for a few chuckles.' The Ten Commandments for students are: 1. Thou shalt not whisper in school. (Shouting draws more attention.) 2. Thou shalt not write on desks. (Carving is more artistic .) 3. Thou shalt not wear slacks to school. (Shorts are more attractive.) I4. Thou shalt not run down steps. (Sliding down banisters is more fun.) 5. Thou shalt not throw spit balls. (Books hit harder.) 6. Thou shalt not talk back to teachers. (Throw something instead.) 7. Thou shalt not look on anyone else's paper. (Have it passed.) 8. Thou shalt not chew gum in school. (Tobacco creates more of a sensation.) 9. Thou shalt not be tardy. (Stay at heme.) 10. Thou shalt net drive teacher to insanity. (Take her there in a plane, or better yet, let her walk.) Editor's Note--Don't take theao literally. Book Agent (to Mr. Edwards)----Now that Nancy and Beverly are going to school, you ought to buy them an encyclopedia. Mr. Edwards--Be darned if I do! Let 'em walk like I did COOKS and BUS DRIVERS WRITINGS When the train picks us up at our homes each morning, we ride in comfort until we arrive at the Pawnee High Station. Here Chet, who is busy keeping the station warm, always has time for a joke or a friendly Hello for everyone. At noon there is a mad rush to the dining car where we find a good meal prepared by our excellent cooks. Even though we don’t get fried chicken every day, we still enjoy our lunch. We appreciate everything that these helpers have done for us. David Dickey: If you keep looking at me like that I’m going to kiss you. Rita O'Brien: Well I can't hold this expression much longer. - BLANKENBERG Photographers for THE INDIAN ECHOES Producers of Photo-Annuals Kankakee Illinois Heating Air Conditioning LAMBERT� S ELECTRIC GE Appliances 122 East Main Cross Taylorville, Illinois If it1 s new---If it s different You'll find it at MARCELLA'S in Taylorville Compliments of BRUNK SAPP Your farm and home store 100 West Washington St. Springfield, Illinois DWIGHT LAMBERT, Prop Phone lUj.71 Maytags Stoves New Idea Farm Machinery Hardware L|.-H Club Supplies Refrigerators Heaters Taylorville WAREHAH'S DAIRY INC.
