Sports Boosters Fund Dropped Sports Programs Terri Morris donated free time to sell tickets at the games. The Pawnee Sports Boosters raised $30,000+ for the 1985-1986 season. Thanks to the dedication and efforts of this winning team, Pawnee Schools was able to reinstate grade school volleyball, basketball, track, and cheerleading. High school cheerleading, girls basketball, boys baseball, and track was also included. The money raised covered the expenses for officials, entry fees, supplies, equipment, transportation, and coaches' salaries. The group sold Rex cleaner, Christmas candy, 50 50 tickets, and furnished all the Sports Boosters plan ANOTHER moneymaking project.

The statue stands as a welcoming sight to those who immigrate to America. At Pawnee High School we have our own Lady , Mrs. Linda Reed. Anyone who has ever met this lady knows that she gives not only her talent and her time, but also her heart to the students of P.H.S. She is always there for each and everyone of us. We are her Happy Family. Mrs. Reed came to P.H.S. in 1971 as Linda Gorman. Her happy, bubbly spirit soon attracted our own art teacher, Mr. Reed. Mrs. Reed has had extensive training in her field of photo and graphics and is constantly taking courses to update her knowledge. Our Lady puts in more time at school and school related activities than anyone. She arrives early, stays late, and ticket takers at every home game. They also sponsored senior nights and served refreshments after the games for both teams. The Sports Boosters have become an indispensable and much appreciated part of Pawnee Schools. We would like to dedicate the book to all of the people who have helped in any way make the 1985-1986 sports season possible. Without you the student body would have missed an important part of their high school experiences. John Salzcider sold 50 50 tickets for a moneymaking project. comes back at night and on weekends to further enrich the lives of her student family. She is the Yearbook Sponsor, National Honor Society Sponsor, and the person everyone turns to for printed matter of all types, from football programs, to award certificates, to school, and School Board Newspapers. On top of all this she is a true friend to each and everyone of her students and colleagues. No frown goes unnoticed and she is always there to give the extra T.L.C. that we all need. Since a lot of her efforts are ignored and a lot of thank-you's are not always given to her we would like to take this yearbook and dedicate it to her for being our own tower of strength — Our LADY! You will always hold a special place in our hearts because We Love You, Mrs. Reed! Dedications 3

Willie Nelson brought Farm Aid to Champaign, Illinois as well as to needy farmers. P.H.S. students benefited from the decreased price of gas to 75.9. (?) The Chicago Bears. 16-1. did the Super Bowl Shuffle all over the New England Patriots. Soviet nuclear-reactor accident sent radioactive plume across the world. Americans were again shocked when Tylenol, equipped with tamper proof lids, were found laced with cyanide. Images of the '85- 86 school year found President Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev discussing problems of today. While in Geneva, they did not bring on the millennium, but neither did they make things worse. That is more that can be said for many of the year's other major events. In the Middle East, terrorists kept finding new variations on their favorite themes, murder and mayhem. At the eastern rim of the Pacific, the earth's crust gave shrugs that produced a catastrophic earthquake and a volcanic eruption. The 1985-86 school year was the worst year in history for air fatalities, famine in East Africa, and no cure had yet been found for AIDS. Still it had its redeeming features, The Live Aid concerts, to help Africa's starving; the athletes overtaking records; and the winning smiles on the faces of a young princess and a recuperating President.
