TO FROTHY FRESHMEN— A potential senior class of ’39 endured the usual green-ribbon, kneeling, and verse-speaking-at-the-dcor ordeal for a matter of some three days and emerged full fledged members of P. C. H. S. in the fall of 1935. Miss Maude Gracen, assistant principal and adviser of this class, started the ball rolling by aiding the new recruits in the selection of class officers. The freshmen also participated in various extra-curricular activities, such as the Student Council to which, as class representatives, they sent Betty Ryan and Joe Ashley. FRESHMEN

FROM SERENE SOPHOMORES— In their freshman year this “lively bunch of girls and boys” was ably advised by Miss Maude Gracen. With her assistance they elected John Campbell, president; Robert Kirsche, vice-president; Arlene Swanson, secretary; and Betty Carlson, treasurer. On October 16, 1934, the class of 1938 enjoyed a picnic at Foster's timber and repeated the happy occasion in May, 1935. This year, the second milestone on their road to seniordom, found them under the guidance of Miss Helen Sanner and Miss Jeannette Kresler. As Student Council members, they elected Virginia Stremme and James Magnuson. Marvin Swanson, a sophomore, was secretary and treasurer of that organization.

ATHLETICS . . . The whole athletic year has been characterized by two prominent factors: clean playing and sportsmanlike spectators. Coach Hankenson has turned out a group of teams of which the school can be justly proud. Surely the fans who really appreciate good athletic contests and who follow the teams can say this year that we have had a good season. Even our severest critics must break down and give a few words of commendation for the boys who participated in athletic events and to the coach who trained these boys. The football season was characterized by the fighting, square-shooting team the fire of which no defeat could quite quench. The basketball season was one about which true P. C. H. S. fans will talk for years to come. Making a record of three losses, counterbalanced by twenty-six wins, this team set forth a future high goal for all P. C. H. S. cagers. Baseball, which functions under the tutelage of Coach Swinney, was reorganized several years ago and is coming into its place as a major sport instead of a minor sport at Paxton High. The track squad gives every promise of upholding the success of the 1936 athletic year. THE CHEERLEADERS WALTER AMERMAN DOROTHY STINE
