V. Lateer, who for the past ten years has been a member of the high school Board of Education. During these years Mr. Lateer has proved himself worthy of his position as president. Although as students we seldom come into contact with any of the Board members, we appreciate the services they render for the welfare of our school.

SWINNEY Principal Mathematics REV LEA TOR d SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of the year 1929, there were sixty-four green freshmen who entered P. C. H. S'. After initiation class officers were elected. They were Kenneth Paulson, president; Virgil Evans, vice-president; Cleo Ramshaw, secretary; and Carl Anderson, treasurer. Our faculty advisers were Mrs. Richmond and Mr. Scott. As the days sped by, our knowledge increased and we became accustomed to the routine of high school. About the first of April we surprised the upper classmen by winning the Stunt Show prize with “Dancing Dominoes.” During the year several picnics were enjoyed. During the second year, the class lost some of their bashfulness and adopted the bold, bad ways of the upper classmen. The president this year was Lloyd Stubbins; vice-president, Jack Hutchison; secretary, Harriet Hill; and treasurer, Frances Swenson. Mr. Scott and Miss McCoy were our advisers. As sophomores we entered into many activities of the school. We took part in the Stunt Show, enjoyed several picnics, and tied the juniors for first place in girls’ basketball. We had three representatives on both the debate team and paper staff, as well as two lettermen in athletics. For the junior year Carl Anderson was elected to head the class. Louise Weidner was chosen as vice-president; Hilda Peterson, secretary; and Jack Hutchison, treasurer. During this year we led a busy life. In the fall the class put on the play, “The Worm,” which proved to be a great success. As juniors we were the proud winners of the Student Council contest which was instituted to further scholarship and school spirit. The boys were awarded first place in boys’ basketball, and the girls tied for first with the sophomores. The class was again well represented in debate, paper staff, football, basketball, track, and honor roll. “Noah’s Ark,” in which we, as animals, let out some of our surplus energy, carried off first prize in the Stunt Show. The main event of the year was the junior-senior banquet and dance which was held at the Middlecoff Hotel and Legion Hut. Through all the activities of the year we were advised by Miss Bear and Miss Babcock. In our senior year we took a new lease on life because of the knowledge we had so painfully acquired in the years preceding. By now our number had dwindled to fifty-two dignified seniors. Lloyd Stubbins was chosen as president of the class, John O’Hare as vice-president, Marguerite Martin as secretary, and Evelyn Bloomquist as treasurer. During the year we reorganized the Student Council into a permanent organization and published the Reflector. Many members of the class participated in football, basketball, track, and various music contests. Events of importance at the close of the second semester were the junior-senior party, May 13; Class Day, May 17; the senior play, “Tons of Money,” May 23; Baccalaureate, May 21; and Commencement, May 26. The Class of 1933 takes sad leave of P. C. H. S. feeling that they have gained much while there and hoping they have done their share in bettering the school.

UEFLECTOR- STUDENT COUNCIL This year the system of self-government was reorganized under the name of The Student Association of Paxton Community High School. The Association is composed of four Class Assemblies, consisting of the regularly enrolled members of the classes, and the advisory group, the Student Council, consisting of two representatives from each class and Council officers elected by the student body. The officers and representatives are as follows: President_________________________________________James Hutchison Vice-President______________________________________________Richard Nelson Secretary-Treasurer__________________________________________Eugene Carlson Freshman Representatives_____________John Swanson, Marilynn Ryan Sophomore Representatives___________Albert Carlsten, Janet Swanson Junior Representatives________________Wilbur Adkins, Viola Carlson Senior Representatives_______________John O'Hare, Louise Weidner Faculty Adviser________________________________________Miss Strong The purpose of the organization is to carry on self-government in order that the students may develop co-operation, sportsmanship, school spirit, and other qualities that help to make a better school. During the school year the Council has sponsored several programs and presented various resolutions for improving our school. They also sponsored an all-school party in the gymnasium on Friday, April 21.

It has again completed a very successful year. It has played at several football games, at the musicale, and at the County Music Festival. The big event of the year will be the trip to the World’s Fair on June 8, 9, and 10, a trip which the band earned by placing first in Class C in the state contest last year. Five members of the band entered as soloists in the district contest at Charleston, April 8, and all placed.

One, the more experienced group, met eighth period on Friday; the other met eighth period on Thursday. The sixteen girls who were chosen to represent Paxton in the music contests received first place in both the sub-district and district contests. These victories entitled them to compete in the state contest at Macomb on May 6, but the cost of the trip prevented their going. The glee club also took part in the annual musicale, February 20, and the county music festival, April 17. Mrs. Mary Frances Orr was the director and Margaret Nelson and Wilma Thompson were the accompanists. Margaret Nelson entered the piano contest and received first in the sub-district and third in the district. g 9!«= HFFLFA 'TOll- 3 BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The boys’ glee club, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Frances Orr, consisted of one group that met eighth period on Tuesday. They also took part in the musicale and county music festival. Sixteen boys were chosen to participate in the music contests. This group received first honors in both the sub-district and district contests. The mixed chorus, selected from both glee clubs, took first in both the sub-district and district contests. Paul Gavert, a member of the glee club, received first place in the sub-district and fourth in the district contest in tenor solo. Mary Jane Clem and Harriet Hill were the accompanists. -REFLECTOR FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA President_______ Vice-President__ Treasurer_______ Secretary_______ Reporter________ Faculty Adviser ____Ronald Frette Ronald Goodwin ____Harold Kirk ----Ray Foster ____Delmar Gurley -------Mr. Scott The Future Farmers of America is a nation-wide organization of agricultural students to promote scientific farming and stock raising.

ATHLETICS 1 REFLECTOR 3 3 FOOTBALL Coach Hankenson began the season with eight lettermen from last year's squad and a shortage of reserve material, but he built a team that was capable of upholding the old Paxton fighting spirit and reputation. Those who had been lettermen the year before and who won letters again are Rulison, O’Hare, Jennings, Walker, Sam Ernest, Marlatt, Foster, and Archer. Additional lettermen are Stone, Hutchison, Moffett, Nelson, Orr, Adkins, and Nuss. Ray Foster served as captain and James Flannigan as manager. Three of the men, Foster, Hutchison, and Rulison, were picked as outstanding players in the Wauseca League. Sam Ernest was awarded a medal from the business men for being the most valuable man on the team. The lettermen in the above picture are (standing) Coach Hankenson; Samuel Ernest, ’35; Richard Nelson, ’34; Wilbur Adkins, ’34; Joseph Walker, ’33; James Hutchison, ’33; Marvin Archer, ’34; Harold Marlatt, ’35; David McKinney, ’35; and James Flannigan, ’33, manager; (sitting) Clyde Rulison, ’33; Hugh Stone, ’35; Vernon Orr, ’34; Ray Foster, ’34; Russell Jennings, ’33; Charles Moffett, ’33; and John O'Hare, ’33. gus i REFLFA TOR e 3 THE SQUAD The squad deserves much consideration for having to stand the hard knocks given them by the first team.

REFLECTOR 3 THE GAMES Paxton took the lead in the game with Gibson until the last minute of play when the enemy tossed a long pass that ended in a touchdown and extra point. Gibson, 7; Paxton, 6. A powerful attack of running plays baffled Milford in the next game. Foster and Walker showed up particularly well. Paxton, 19; Milford, 7. The Gilman game seemed doomed to end a scoreless tie until McKinney kicked a field goal. Rulison and O’Hare did excellent work. Paxton, 3; Gilman, 0. Rantoul so completely baffled Paxton that the game was rather spiritless. Rulison and Orr wrere injured. Archer was good at offense and defense. Rantoul, 20; Paxton, 0. The next loss wTas to Watseka after a hard-fought game. Wat-seka, 19; Paxton, 7. Leroy made a last-minute march against Paxton to score a touchdown. Ernest’s smashing plunges were the feature of the game. Leroy, 6; Paxton, 0. The locals were swamped at Onarga. Jennings and Hutchison kept the score down somewhat with their excellent defensive work. Onarga, 47; Paxton, 0. In the last game of the season, Paxton battled Drummer to a scoreless tie. The line showed itself as one of the best in the league. Rulison, Walker, Jennings, Moffett, Foster, Hutchison, and O’Hare composed this line. Paxton, 0; Drummer, 0. ggysn HE ELEC' TO I! =ie g BASKETBALL Five veterans, Mull, Stine, Rulison, Larson, and Archer, formed the nucleus of this year's squad. Mull and Archer were particularly outstanding, although Archer was not able to finish out the season because of an injured ankle. From the new material five lettermen developed. They were Moffett, Nelson, Hutchison, McKinney, and Higginson. In the above picture they are (standing) Coach Hankenson; Richard Nelson, ’34; Marvin Archer, ’34; James Hutchison, ’33; Charles Moffett, ’33; (sitting) Peter Larson, ’34; Everett Stine, ’34; Robert Mull, ’33; Edward Higginson, 33; and David McKinney, ’35. ffisn ■ REFLECTOR— =ie g THE SQUAD The squad was composed of a number of eager underclassmen and a few lettermen. The Frosh made a particularly good showing with everyone of any ability reporting. Paxton can expect real teams in the future from this fighting group of basketeers.

Paxton, 31; Onarga, 17. ■REFLECTOR- In the Invitational Tournament during the holidays, Paxton beat Piper City, 40-22; and East Lynn, 34-15; but lost to Rankin, 25-18.

Paxton easily defeated Cabery, 30-16, in the County Tourney, but lost to Roberts, 19-18. The locals were handicapped by the loss of Archer, who had sprained an ankle. Rantoul was defeated in the fastest game of the year. Paxton, 19; Rantoul, 15. After beginning slowly in the first half, the locals burst into the second half with a scoring spree that brought victory over Melvin. Paxton, 33; Melvin, 25. The team lost a spiritless game to Rossville. Rossville, 21; Paxton, 17. After settling down to really hard basketball, the team slid over Gilman's tight defense. Paxton, 33; Gilman, 30. Rantoul, with Rasmussen at the head, was too much for Paxton. Rantoul, 24; Paxton, 11. Gibson pulled a surprise on a slightly over-confident Paxton team. Gibson City, 32; Paxton, 25. Roberts again displayed their uncanny style of long basket shooting and defeated the lads. Roberts, 26; Paxton, 19. Paxton lost a fast game to Onarga in spite of the great exhibition of basket shooting by Mull, Stine, and McKinney. Onarga, 33; Paxton, 30. In the District Tournament Paxton lost the first game to Gibson in an overtime period after three regulars had left the game by the four-foul route. Gibson, 22; Paxton, 21. gys� - REFLEC ?TOR HQffg TRACK No lettermen returned for the 19 33 track season, but the new material made a good showing.
