Mrs. Kitty Wooderchak is back in High school this year. She not only taught Creative Writing and English III, but she taught Jr. High English classes also. She has been with P.H.S. 10 years, but hadn’t taught high school for 8 years. It was nice to have her back! She has her BS from W.I.U. M.A. from S.S.U.

Mrs. Rhoads taught this class. Mrs. Kay Wilson received her BS degree from SIU in Carbondale. She has taught English classes such as English I, World Literature, Business English and Drama II at Pawnee High School for twelve years. She is a Senior Class Sponsor.

tft Cpctfocjfufc’s o« You I Drama The world is a stage and the PHS drama classes provide the actors! Led by Kay Wilson, these stage-struck stars provided the entertainment in the assemblies enjoyed by the PHS students and faculty. But they didn’t stop there. Field trips such as the Thespian Dinner (which Mrs. Wilson shall never forget) and visits to White Oaks to see other area schools perform during Thespian week were also experienced. Plus, the Blackburn Theater also invited PHS students to enjoy their presentation of the ’’Fantastics”. Thanks guys for another thrilling year in the theater! Your ability to make people laugh and smile is a true talent and so very much appreciated. 15
