A very young squad, they consisted of 8 Sophomores and only 2 Seniors, Libby West and Peggy McWhorter. Injuries and inexperience were prominent factors in their 9-13 won-loss record. Many close battles were fought in which the older and stronger opponents held on to win. Throughout the season, despite the normal disappointments, the team improved. Many lasting friendships resulted, and the girls are looking forward to an even better season next year. At a taco party closing the season, several girls received awards.

PACES 7 AND 45 PAID FOR B Y THE SPORTS BOOSTERS The 1977 girls track team had a great year. This was the largest squad ever and the first that placed in the MSM conference. The team had enough individual points to win three meets plus took second in the MSM conference. Although the meets brought bad weather, spirit was high and girls tried even harder to make this year the best ever. Seven records were made, three of which were rebroken!

The Indians had 26 boys out for track this year, and only three seniors; Bill Cody, Don Grubb, and Chris Fenelon. All three helped and will be missed next year. However, we do have a strong team of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors returning. We hopefully will have better facilities for track in the future which will enhance track even more. We broke five records this year. 1. Mile Relay—Evan Russell, Tim Gall, Dave Henry, John Chesher—3:52.2 2. Shot--Mike Fontana--43 feet 1 inch. 3. High Jump--Barry Comerford--6 feet one half inches 4.

The classes have a definite order, and unlike the past years, the teachers change rooms every period. This change has gotten each of us interested in class, although the work has been more difficult than in the past. The choice of taking extra classes provides new interests. While study halls are needed by some, other students elect to take band, chorus, or French. The athletic field has many more sports for girls and boys including track, baseball, basketball, softball, and volleyball. The seventh grade has been a good year for the ”Class of 82.

Their first as a class, was their float entry Draggin' the Dragons” in the Homecoming parade. Their strong class effort brought them first place. They undertook two money making projects, the larger of which was operating and managing the basketball conces- Danny Edge sions. On the lighter side, many of its members participated in the drama programs and added their bizarre and brilliant wit to the pep assemblies, which everyone enjoyed. Of course, the most memorable and eagerly awaited event was the ordering of clas rings. 75 Lori Law Lori Leskovisck Sandy Loyd Jerry Lyons Sue Maltby Loma Eihridge Party Fedor Paul Ferreira Darrel Fugate Tim Gall Advanced biology began pig dissection second semester.

The Class of 78” In late summer of 1976, 55 students entered the halls of P.H.S. as juniors, revved up and ratin' to go for the big year ahead of them. What a year they had! No class can function without leadership, so they elected their officers (pictured at left) as follows: Pres: A. Nerone, V. Pres: D. Henry, Sec: C. Harwood, and Treas: J. Sandstrom. The voice of the people, student council representatives, were: D. Martin, J. McClelland, and D. Mun-dhenke. They found that everything's more fun when done as a class. With Homecoming on the way, the juniors got together and submitted their float entry Bury the Dragons. Their attendants for Homecoming were D. Martin and D. Mundhenke. To raise funds for their Prom, they undertook two money making projects, a successful gas raffle and magazines sale. All too soon, the year was almost at a close. As the time for Prom drew near, those dreams of a beautiful Prom were soon to become a reality.

Chris Hinton The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all. WE NOW LEAVE It's time for another Senior class to move on, and as 1977 has finalized our position to leave, we realize we must say good-bye. Before we attempt to motion ahead, we trace back over all of our school days. So many sunny times filled with happiness, friendship, and laughter are reflected in our minds. P.H.S. has given us a gift of simple and exciting moments and ways that have been loved, but which will now be missed. And with this thought that deeply touches our hearts, the class of 1977 says good-bye to Pawnee High. By Annette Leskovisek VICE-PRESIDENT Jeanette Carlson There is no virtue such as Grace. SECRETARY Kathy Aymer She holds the essential gifts of friendship. David Alexander I can resist everything except temptation. Debbie Beckman An enjoyable fling is usually followed by a painful sting! James Boarman 1 have plenty of faith--can tell by the way 1 drive JoLynn Bowsher Keep a tight rein on your thoughts--they could break loose into words at any time. Edward Brazel There is no greater darkness than that between the pages of an unopened book. Kevin Castle If I don't do anything, I'm going to get tired because I can't quit and rest. 84 Jeff Delinsky Once I get everything, I won't have anything to look forward to. Gail Duhs True happiness usually adds and multiplies if divided with others. Teresa Dickey I can live without walking, but who can live without talking. Debbie Dutton In every heart where love abides, friendship is a guest. Bob Fanis If I'm not pan of the solution, then I'm probably pan of the problem. Cindy Fischer Friendship is a word that is most likely to succeed. Chris Fenelon We cannot know what the future holds, but we know the One who holds it. 85 Connie Griffin To be loved; means to be loveable. Bob Henry Have more than you show and speak less than you know. Don Grubb The hardest work is being idle. Tom Howerton He who steals my slogan Steals trash! Vicki King A day is wasted without laugh ter. Annette Leskovisek If you love life, life will love you back. Pat Langheim A leader of men; a follower of 86 women. Edward Maxey Some dreams come true, some don’t--mine did. Peggy McWhorter It matters not how long you live, but how! Cheri Meier Life is the flowers of which love is the honey. Lisa Pals Believe in yourself and what others think won't matter. Terry McElroy We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. Jodi Murphy It is by doing the very things we fear most, that achieve our greatest victories. Kim Neisler Not to have known love is not to have known life. 87 Gary Perschbacher A friend and athlete--a combination that's hard to beat. David Schnapp I'm never lonely while eating spaghetti—it requires so much attention. Rick Smith A hunter of animals and a tracker of women. Millie Selhime Put love and hope in everything you do. Melinda Stevens It's better to be small and shine than large and cast a shadow. Tammy Taylor Laughter is kind of like a needle and thread--it can patch up about anything. 88 Rhonda Stogdill Always trying to make people happy. Greg Thoele It is a great man who picks himself up after a fall. Our Class 1977 Kathy Warrington Forget yourself and do things for others--those are the things others remember most. Our time we’ve spent as a class May never be regained, Nor the yesterdays for others Be the same. But the laughter we've known And the carefree memories shared Through all of our years. Will forever remain in our hearts With sweet tears. Our future will surmount On the experience and explanation That have formed Reasons and answers, Some unsought of--but needed. And as time comes for our separation, We thank P.H.S. Jett Wells If I didn't have a goal, I might spend the rest of my life never scoring. Libby West A cheerful heart and a smiling face put sunshine in the darkest place. Bill Williams A moving mouth isn’t necessarily connected with a working brain. 1V� AI LIACI) IV Jodi Murphy, Chris Hinton Most Athletic: Peggy McWhorter, Pat Langheim Class Wits: Teresa Dickey, Tom Howerton Senior Who’s Who Mr. and Miss Senior: Libby West, Gary Perschbacher Most Graceful: Jeanette Carlson, Greg Thoele Most Polite: Kathy Warrington, Chris Fenelon 90 Graduation Time For The Class of ”77'' ended iheir high school years graduation night on May 27, 1977.
