S. a full schedule for 1941-42. Track reappeared for the first time since 1939. The Reflector is using the same policy in track as in baseball, that of publishing the complete scores in the next year’s issue. Bill McCarty again was in charge of all athletics and boys’ physical education. Albert Meier was assistant coach. The season’s cheering was efficiently directed by a junior, Doris Ryberg; a sophomore, Joan Archer; and a freshman, Mary McGauley. Miss Cocking served as their sponsor. Orchids to Mr. Frederick and the Swing Band who helped pep up many of the games. Another bouquet to Mr. McCarty’s flag drill group that consisted of Patricia Fuller, Avis Bluemly, Betty Piper, Nancy Frederick, Ella Mae Stanford, and Peggy Carlsten. 6 is for Hand The P. C. H. S. Band has a membership of 58. Practices are held the first period on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday under the direction of Mr. Frederick. Many new students became members of the organization this year. Because of this fact, rehearsals are devoted to developing skill and appreciation of music. Sectional rehearsals are held outside of school time. The band took part in the annual musicale on April 1. Barbara Jean Given, French horn soloist, entered the district contest at Fair bury and placed in the first division. This entitled her to participate in the sectional contest at Peoria. She placed in the first division and will enter the state contest in May. The Swing Band is composed of the older members of the P. C. H. S. Band. Rehearsals for this group are held on Tuesday and Friday, the first period. They specialize in popular pieces, marches, and light opera selections. During the past year they have played at football and basketball games, the Ford County Tourney at Melvin, our own Regional Tourney, and the Spring Musicale. Members of this group are: KENNETH DOUGHERTY SHIRLEY HILEMAN DARLENE LARSON RUTH WOOLDRIDGE MARY ELIZABETH EAGAN DOROTHY JOHNSON MARILYN VINSON JULIETTA JAYNE DORIS SWANFEL Y EVERETT GIVEN EVELYN WEIDNER BARBARA GIVEN JACK IRELAND WILBUR OGLE BETTY ROBERTSON BOB McDANNELL CHARLOTTE WALKER MARY JEAN HAMMERSTRAND PHYLLIS BEHRENS BETTY CORBETT DEVORE KILLIP BARBARA DAVIS AUDREY LIND WILBUR PARKER BARBARA BURTON CARLEY NELSON In the season of 1941, Coach Bill McCarty replaced our former baseball mentor, Delos Wagner, who left to accept a position as civilian instructor at Chanute Field. The pitchers for the season of ’41 were Delmar Nuss and “Nick” Johnson. Lost for the season of ’42 were Evan Danielson, Delmar Nuss, Bob Moline, “Nick” Johnson, Lyle Buchanan, and Kermit Hustedt. The letterman of last year, in addition to the players named above, were Everett Fields, Wilbur Ogle, Stanley Peterson, Jack Miller, and Wendell Siddens. These will be back with us this year.

C. H. S. history. The Blue and Gold team seemed to find itself at the time of the county tournament with two victories, and a loss in the final game to Melvin. The team from this point broke even in the win and lose column, with the exception of the last three games which were lost to Hoopeston, Champaign, and Danville. The Regional tournament was held at Paxton, and won by Champaign. Paxton lost its first game to Melvin, the runnerup in the tourney.

D is for II nun a fir (Ini) The Dramatic Club, meeting with Miss Emsing, has had a very successful year. Any student interested in speech may belong to this organization. The aim of the club is to develop poise, a well-modulated voice, and the ability to meet people graciously, to converse easily and pleasantly, to express oneself in clear and simple English, and to speak in public. The main topics studied were public speaking, verse speaking, choral verse reading, impersonation, and voice exercises. Just before the Christmas holidays, this club presented before the assembly a one-act play entitled, “Grandma.” The big events of the year were the contests. In the district contest at Gilman, Joan Archer placed first in class A and second in district with a humorous reading, “Mr. Pickwick and His Romantic Adventure” by Charles Dickens. Bonnie Brison placed second in class A and second in district with a dramatic reading, a cutting from REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier. Bonnie Brison and Doris Ryberg competed in the Ford County Literary Contest at Gibson City. Doris placed third with the humorous reading. Joan and Bonnie participated in the sectional contest held at Normal. F is for Foothill The opening of the 1941 football season placed a big responsibility on the five remaining lettermen. The new team had to defend the 1940 Wauseca League championship as well as three previous years of success. The result was not a record to compare with those successful seasons, neither was it one to bring shame to P. C. H. S. The team showed a gradual improvement, leaving brighter hopes for 1942. The football lettermen for this year were Stanley Peterson, William Scott, Arnold Magnuson, Ronald Sivill, Andrew Hendricks, Wendell Siddens, Robert McCabe, Gordon Johnson, Cornelius Noland, Richard Cottrell, Jack Miller, Wilmer Smith, James Nuss, and Robert Gustafson. Jack Ireland received a letter as manager.

C. H. S. in high spirits. After a few days in searching for class rooms and learning our way about, we settled down to routine work as members of the student body. The freshman class elections resulted in the selection of William Overstreet, president; Jack Kenney, vice-president; Betty Frank, secretary; Betty Robertson, treasurer. Miss Gracen and Mr. Bidner were class sponsors. By the end of our first semester, we were beginning to realize that school wasn’t all fun as some of us must have believed, judging by our report cards. We decided to try a little harder second semester. Our Student Council representatives were Barbara Jean Given and Lee Carlson. Mary McGauley was one of the regular cheerleaders of P. C. H. S. Robert Lateer efficiently served as co-manager in athletics. Barbara Given represented P. C. H. S. as a French horn soloist in the District contest at Fairbury. She won first place. F is for Future Farmers The Future Farmers of America, a national organization, has a local membership of 43. The officers for the past year were: president, Ben Johnson; vice-president, Norman Gustafson; secretary, Ebert Siddens; treasurer, Leslie Carlson; reporter, Wildon Metz; and adviser, W. I. Bidner. Meetings are held regularly on the second and fourth Thursday of each school month. The “pledges” must earn and invest $50 before they can become full-fledged Future Farmers. To be able to petition for the State Farmers’ Degree after the third year of membership, the boys must meet other requirements and should have outstanding records. These boys are chosen for the degree by delegates to the State Convention held in June. The members attended the International Livestock Show at Chicago in December. Other activities were the annual Father and Son Banquet, Community Service, selling of garden seeds, aiding in Victory Gardens, and enrollment of local labor for defense. In June, this group will participate in the State Judging Contest and State Convention. G is for filer Clubs It II Y S On Mondays and Wednesdays the sixth period, Mrs. Gutheil has the Boys’ Glee Club. This group appeared in the Christmas program, the annual spring musicale, Baccalaureate service, and Commencement program. Most of the boys were also members of the Mixed Chorus. Nancy Frederick was their accompanist. GIRLS The Girls’ Glee Club meets twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday during the sixth period. They are under the direction of Mrs. Helen Gutheil. Tryouts are held each fall to determine who will be in the club and to find the range of their voices. During the past year the Glee Club successfully presented a Christmas program in the assembly and the annual Spring Musicale. The musicale included selections by the mixed chorus, an ensemble, and solos. The club also furnished the music for the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. The officers of this group for the past year were: president, Ruth Harrington; vice-president, Barbara Davis; secretary-treasurer, Barbara Adkins. The accompanist was Irene Streeter. J is for Juniors On September 2, 70 juniors returned to school once more to resume their education. The following officers were elected: president, Ben Johnson; vice-president, William Burklund; secretary, Lillian Tappan; treasurer, Jack Ireland. Our Student Council representatives were Lois Hall and Robert Watts. Jack Ireland was vice-president of the Student Council. The football lettermen of the junior class were Robert Gustafson, William Scott, Ronald Sivill, and Robert McCabe. Jack Ireland was the football manager. Our class advisers were Miss Cocking and Mrs. McCarty. November 17 was a red letter day for the junior class for that was the day the play, “Sixteen in August,” was presented in the high school auditorium. Miss Cocking directed the play, and she was assisted by Mrs. McCarty. It was a great success. The climax of the school year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 15. This is the second time in the history of P. C. H. S. that a newspaper has been published entirely by the school. In 1930-1933, a school paper, known as The P. C. H. S. Record, was printed by Stevens Printing Company. Everything involved in producing the new paper is done in the school—that is, the articles are written by the staff, the stencils are cut, and the mimeographing is done in the school building. The cover of the paper is prepared by Wildon Metz. In choosing a name for this school paper, the students were given an opportunity to submit names. The one chosen was suggested by Stanley Peterson. Subscription fees cover the cost of publication for the most part; however, the school helped in the initial expenses. The subscription cost is twenty cents per semester or thirty-five cents a year. The newspaper work offers many opportunities for those who are interested in running a mimeograph, cutting stencils, and general newspaper work. Anyone qualified may be on the staff. Those entitled to literary letters because of the position they fill capably are: editor, assistant editor, typists, mimeograph operators, circulation manager, and art editor. Any other member of the staff or any student writing fifteen articles that are published in the school paper may also receive a letter. Some of the favorite columns this year were “What’s Doing,” the traditional “Meet Your Seniors,” “Tid-Bits (mostly here and not all there),” and “Can You Imagine?” We have reproduced some of these columns on the following page. The members of the first BLUE AND GOLD staff were: editor, Dorothy Anderson; assistant editor, Evelyn Weidner; circulation manager, Mary Elizabeth Eagan; sports, Bob Lateer; art and F. F. A., Wildon Metz; feature writers, Peggy Carl-sten, Joan Archer, and Lorraine Holverson; typists, Doris Swanfelt, Frances Salvage, Patricia Fuller, and Maxine Kirsche; mimeograph operators, Barbara Thilmony and Ella Mae Stanford. Congratulations to the BLUE AND GOLD staff!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE . . . Fred Causey with a comb? . . . Evie Robertson not knowing his bands? . . . Boy Kenney without a car? . . . The U. S. not winning this war? . . . Avis without a sweater? . . . Semesters without an aspirin? . . . Peppy people on Monday mornings? . . . Swanfelt a brunette? . . . Paxton minus the Swedes? . . .

People not buying the Reflector? . . . . Not being able to imagine? TIDBITS (from here and there) (mostly here but not all there) Lois Hall really picks ’em—during the year she’s had the attention of the Navy, Army, and the Department of Justice! The Navy seems to be lasting, though. Louise Bost and Stanley Peterson seem to be “hitting it off” O. K., to date. One never can tell, though. True love never runs smoothly!?? Our congratulations to Phyllis Holroyd, who became Mrs. Robert Dean Short on New Year’s Day. We of P. C. H. S. sincerely hope that she is as happy all of her life as she is now. Our nifty blonde cheerleader held her own with “Wendy“ most of this year. Is “compatible” the right word for it? She must have beaten Opal’s time!! Those nightly sessions at the “5D” Poker Parlor are really becoming the “talk of the town.” And the audience is getting larger by degrees—some fun! Why, in spring, does a young man’s fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love? You’ve got me—but I sure like the idea! The war affected all of us this year. No cars—conserving on the rubber supply; no sugar—rationing; but, all in all, it wasn’t so bad. At least, we reduced—some—and the enforced exercise didn’t do us any harm! What could be the attraction at the corner drug store? It wouldn’t be the student help, would it? They say “beauty is skin deep,” but, with modern cosmetics, who can see the skin? You can do a lot for defense. For one thing—get used to using your foot-mobile. As my closing tidbit, I have a “plug” for my Uncle Sam. Let’s all buy defense stamps and bonds (if possible, the latter!!) and “Keep’Em Flying.” WHAT’S DOING The Student Council really did a good job-of things this year. Examples of their efforts’ are the super school parties we had, and the excellent outside talent programs. Also, they sponsored a sale of Defense Stamps in P. C. H. S. We should be proud of the excellent showing we made in doing our part for Uncle Sam. At the Homecoming party, we had the King and Queen of P. C. H. S. crowned. I think we all “hoorayed” at the student-body’s choice of Ruth Harrington, and Jack Miller. Did you notice the number of Alumni visiting school before vacation? The P. C. H. S. Carnival, held December 5, was a big success. Irene Streeter was voted the most popular girl in P. C. H. S.; quite an honor for a freshman! The music departments’ musical went over with a “bang.” the star attraction being the P. C. H. S. Swing Band. Mrs. Gutheil and Mr. Frederick are to be congratulated. Our congrats to both of you!! The Style Show of April 24 was a novel idea. The theme was “Daisy Mae Goes To Town,” with newcomer Betty Deck in the star role. Even Lil’ Abner was there—in the person of Andy Henricks. Semester exams are over for another year and those seniors who escaped with “B” averages breathed a sigh of relief. You can’t imagine how gratifying it is to watch the others suffer! Congratulations to Barbara Jean Given for her excellent showing in the instrumental contests this year. We’re proud of you, Bobbie Jean! P is for Principal A high school education should be a very important part of the lives of the young people of our community. Those who take it lightly or those who fail to finish it are handicapping themselves tremendously. Our standards of work are high, and the going is sometimes tough, but, after the course is completed, there is great satisfaction in having mastered it. 1 hereby commend those who have done well during the past year, and I sincerely recommend that all people of high school age take the high school work most seriously. John J. Swinney. BOARD OF EDUCATION Walter E. Kiest, President Harry P. Larson, Secretary Dr. Wayne L. Hamm John A. Watson William R. Watts P is for Prophecy I’m a bit confused. . . . Two days ago I was speeding along in my 1941 (latest model) Pontiac at the advised rate of 40 miles per, listening to my favorite radio commentator, Frederick Causey. He’s an old acquaintance of mine, class of ’42 of P. C. H. S. Now what happened after that is a bit hazy, but the last thing I. can remember is a huge red truck with “Everett Fields, Inc.—Farm Products” in big white letters on the side. The next thing I knew I was standing (or maybe floating is more descriptive) on some fleecy white clouds, arguing with a fellow named Mr. Jordan, who apparently was the chief magistrate in Heaven, as to whether I was dead or alive. A checkup of his casualty lists proved that they’d been a little hasty—I wasn’t due to arrive ’til the year 2012! So there I was, very much alive, but minus a body, to say nothing of being quite some distance from my earthly habitation. This Mr. Jordan readily admitted the gravity of the error committed, and realized that, in all fairness, he had to find me a new body. And it couldn’t be just anybody! No sir—’cause mine had been a perfect physical specimen!! Well, anybody knows that the only place left to find such perfection is in the U. S. Army camps, so, right away Mr. Jordan decided to go to Kanute Field, the largest and best known of them all. Ten seconds later, we were slipping past the fellows on guard at the entrance. I looked them over, and suddenly realized that I knew them! They were none other than Gordon Johnson, Paul McCabe, and Max Niccum, and, standing with them, was Jeannette Lundeen, in one of those nifty army nurses’ uniforms. I thought it was rather strange that they didn’t recognize me, until I realized that they couldn't even see me. That’s the strangest feeling, to be a ghost, and yet not be a ghost, if you see what I mean. Now this Mr. Jordan knew much of human nature, as was to be expected of a man in his position, so he suggested that we visit the nearest U. S. O. center. All in all, it was a darn good idea, because the first thing I laid eyes on was a neat little number in one of those blue uniforms. Very becoming!! The only thing that disappointed me was the presence of two rings on her left hand, and, as she turned around, I recognized loan Wirth, or more than likely, Mrs. Robert Moline. She was giving instructions to two of her hostesses, Jeanne Whitcomb and Jane Nuss. However, such delightful diversions weren’t exactly helping me find a suitable physique, so we meandered over toward the mess hall. By this time, I was on the lookout for old school pals, and I wasn’t disappointed. I almost knocked down a major, no less, who proved to be our old football captain, Stanley Peterson. Seeing the look on his fact was worth being minus a body; but then, can you imagine bumping into thin air? You’d probably be slightly amazed at yourself, too!! We left him mumbling to himself and entered the mess hall, which was jammed to capacity, naturally. We didn’t waste much time in the main room, but made a bee line for the kitchen. Even ghosts get hungry, I guess. I had no more than swung open the door than I recognized the head dietitian on duty—Bonnie Brison. She always did want to major in home economics, I remember. I’ll bet she wondered where some of that food went, but we didn’t wait to find out. While strolling rather aimlessly along, munching Bonnie’s stolen buttercakes, we heard some shooting, so we headed in that general direction to investigate. We went quite some distance before we came upon some squadrons at target practice. The instructor was really letting them have it when we came into earshot, and I recognized the voice of Devore Killip even before I got a good look at him. He hadn’t changed a whole lot. I can-remember the days when I saw him walking down Market Street with one of those shot guns of his cradled in his arms. I wonder if he’s married. We watched for only a short time, and then made our way to the engineering division. I wasn’t a bit surprised when I saw Captain Bill Eagan bossing a crew of electrical engineers, including two old friends of his, Bob Kenney and Glenn Burklund. I was pretty sure by now that, before my visit was over, I should have seen all the members of my class. In the aeronautical engineering department, I had the surprise of my life! (Before I explain, I’d like someone to tell me why an engineer needs a secretary!) As I live and breathe, there was Marilyn Peterson, with a pencil poised over a shorthand notebook, taking down notes as dictated by Mr. James Jayne. Only—he wasn’t a mister any more, he was a captain; and she probably wasn’t a Miss either. Anyway, that was the situation when we walked in. In the other room were his three assistants, John Trickle, Hubert Piper, and Adrian Johnson, probably waiting to speak with him. Well, I was getting nowhere fast. A guy can’t very well take over the body of someone he knows or has known, and I was beginning to feel discouraged. Mr. Jordan provided an instantaneous lift for my spirits by suggesting that we take in the benefit show to be given that evening. He gave me a clipping advertising the event, and believe it or not, it featured Barbara Davis as the vocalist with a big name band. Included in the dancing ensemble were such notables as Esther Spung, Dorothy O’Hare, and Frances Salvage. After the show, we visited thq famous “Dirty Thirty” game rooms, a branch of that fabulous gambling syndicate owned and operated by Richard Cottrell, with Kenneth Dougherty as his able assistant and partner. (It had been okeyed by President Roosevelt as a good diversion for soldiers, since they don’t have to pay income tax.) Stopping at a restaurant for a little snack, we scared two waitresses, Anna Marie Plackett and Lucille Vaught, out of a year’s growth, and left several customers minus some food. I recognized a few faces, one of them being Maxine Kirsche, who was evidently married to the civilian instructor sitting across from her. A table of nurses included Mrs. Robert Short and Mrs. James Purtill, whose husbands had been drafted, and the misses Doris Swanfelt, Ruth Stearns and Mary Margaret Graham. Soldiers certainly have all the luck—and me without a body—what irony!! Next to the restaurant was the Carleton Bowling Alley, owned by Harold Carleton, and managed by Delbert Beckstrand. I recognized John Farley and Wilmer Smith at one of the alleys, and I gathered from their conversation that they owned a chain of grocery stores in partnership with an old friend of theirs. (Even that hadn’t kept them out of the army—Uncle Sam gets them all!!) A group of girls, including Patty Fuller, Mary Hendershott, Ruth Anderson, and Irene Nelson, were using one of the other alleys. From their chatter, I learned that they all had jobs as stenographers in various departments on the field, and, from appearances, they were doing right well. Their bosses included the familiar names of Ebert Siddens, Robert Duggins, and Harry Johnson, who had advanced rapidly since their induction into the army. I also learned that Barbara Adkins now operated a well-known beauty shop, ably assisted by her school chum, Marian Pearson. Her fiance was drafted, you know. Juanita Douglas was now Mrs. Virgil Naugle, successful undertaker, an affair which dated back to her high school days, if you’ll recall. Robert McDannell was well established as an army doctor, with Betty Hollister as his special nurse. Evelyn Weidner had worked only a short time, and was now married to her boss, a captain. Audrey Frette had taken the position left vacant by his romance, with Kathryn Gustafson as coworker. All of which goes to show you what can be learned from listening. But I still hadn’t found a body, and, although I had enjoyed finding out what had happened to all my schoolmates, I felt some concern on my own behalf. My troubles were solved the following evening. Mr. Jordan and I attended the championship bout between Louis Joseph and Simon Abeson, and I had no sooner seen that Joseph physique than I knew that my search was over. Naturally, Mr. Jordan agreed. Wbat man wouldn’t? Five seconds later, I was Louis Joseph. But there’s still one thing that bothers me, and that’s why I said, by way of beginning, that I was a bit confused. The point is, now that I’m Louis Joseph, does anybody happen to know what happened to the original? Mr. Jordan disappeared before I could ask him. Adopted from the movie: “Here Comes Mr. Jordan,” with my most humble apologies. The Reflector is one of the oldest traditions of P. C. H. S. The older alumni will remember when the Reflector appeared as a monthly pamphlet, and, still later, as a semi-annual journal. The present form has been the accepted pattern since 1926. Regardless of the type of publication, the purpose remains the same—to record your happy memories for future reference. When you’ve reached the grand old age of thirty, think what fun you’ll have, glancing through the Reflectors of your school days! And so, we, the Reflector Staff of 1942, do hereby present to you, our successors, our humble efforts toward making your memories permanent. We sincerely hope they will mean as much to you as they do to us, the graduating class.

William Eagan WILLIAM EAGAN, President Band Swing Band Junior Class Play Class President (1, 4) Senior Class Play PATRICIA VAN FU Secretary Glee Club (3, 4) Paper Staff (4) Transfer Ludlow (3) On September 6, 1938, we entered P. C. H. S. as the class of 1942. Under the supervision of Miss Gracen and Mr. Bidner, we elected as our president, William Eagan; vice-president, Robert Smith; secretary, Doris Swanfelt; treasurer, Barbara Adkins. The Student Council representatives were Irene Nelson, and Thomas Ryan. Talent was shown by many of our group in both the band and glee club. The school honor roll included Barbara Davis, and Evelyn Weidner. Miss Swinford and Mr. Judd were our advisers for the sophomore year. We elected as our class officers the following: president, loan Wirth; vice-president, Kenneth Dougherty; secretary, Evelyn Weidner; treasurer, Lewis Dayton. Our Student Council representatives were Bonnie Brison and Stanley Peterson, while Doris Swanfelt served as secretary of that organization, loan Wirth was one of the varsity cheerleaders. The officers for our junior year were president, Stanley Peterson; vice-president, Barbara Davis; secretary, Juanita Douglas; treasurer, Barbara Adkins. Richard Cottrell was vice-president of the Student Council the first semester and president the second, as a result of the absence of Robert Froyd. The class was represented in this student organization by Evelyn Weidner and Lewis Dayton. Football lettermen were Richard Cottrell, Stanley Peterson, and Lewis Dayton. Cottrell also received a letter in basketball. The high point of the first semester was the class play, “The Hutchinsons—Bless Them,” directed by Miss Strong. However, the spotlight of the social year was the Junior-Senior banquet in a Mexican setting. Miss Piper, our other class adviser, had charge of this farewell to the class of ’41. For the last year in our high school career the officers were president, William Eagan; vice-president, Phyllis Holroyd; secretary, Patricia Fuller; and treasurer, Ruth Stearns. Our Student Council representatives were Maxine Kirsche and John Farley, with Dick Cottrell as president of the organization. Our class play was “June Mad,” directed by Miss Emsing. The annual class day program in which we the class of ’42 made our last will and testament and bade our Alma Mater a fond farewell was held on May 20.

C. H. S. ready for another school term. We were happy that we were now able to consider ourselves upper classmen and no longer called “freshies.” Our new class officers for this year were Arthur Smith, president; Bud Turner, vice-president; Joan Anderson, secretary; Jeanie Wirth, treasurer. We had a very happy and profitable year. Miss Strong and Miss Swinford were our class advisers this year. Our Student Council representatives were Bill Bridwell and Barbara Thilmony. Joan Archer was a varsity cheerleader for P. C. H. S. Football letterman of our sophomore class was Ronald Sivill. One of the most active organizations in Paxton High School is the Student Council, under the capable supervision of Miss Strong. It is made up of officers elected from the student body. The members for 1941 - 1942 were: president, Dick Cottrell; vice-president, Jack Ireland; secretary-treasurer, Barbara Thil-mony. The class representatives were: freshmen, Barbara Jean Given and Lee Carlson; sophomores, Ruth Harrington and Bill Bridwell; juniors, Lois Hall and Bob Watts; seniors, Maxine Kirsche and John Farley. In the fall, this organization successfully carried out a number of projects, among which were the Big Sister and Brother movement, freshmen initiation, and a school party at which the freshmen and new upper classmen were honor guests. As in previous years, four outside talent programs were presented, which consisted of Walt Everman and his Liquid Air, Three University Athletes, Kitty Trumpeteers, and George Lyons, Harpist. Other school activities which they sponsored were Homecoming, all-school parties, discussion of the P. C. H. S. Sportsmanship Code, and a Student Forum, discussing defense stamps. An innovation of this year was a contribution of five dollars to the Red Cross. The last activity of the year was the presentation of awards to the outstanding students. The awards given in 1940-1941 were: President of senior class . President of Student Council Editor of P. C. H. S. Record Editor of Reflector . Outstanding senior in athletics Outstanding senior in band Outstanding student in Glee Club . Outstanding student in citizenship Outstanding senior in commercial work Outstanding senior in scholarship Outstanding senior in English Outstanding student in activities .

The first course, usually for freshmen, is comprised of twelve weeks of mechanical drawing, and twenty-four weeks of handworking and finishing. The second year’s work consists of a study of machine woodworking, upholstering, and finishing. A valuable asset derived from these courses, aside from the actual knowledge of construction, is an appreciation of fine workmanship and design. Both courses are under the direction of Mr. Meier. COMMERCIAL COURSES Courses available in this field include two years of shorthand and type, one year of bookkeeping, one year of commercial law and arithmetic, and a year of straight type. Miss Gracen has charge of all classes in commercial law, bookkeeping, and shorthand II. The type classes and shorthand 1 students are under the supervision of Miss Cocking. The goal set for the stenographic course is 100 words a minute in shorthand, and 40-50 words a minute in type, a standard adequate for any office position. Fifty words a minute is the aim for straight type students. Bookkeeping is self-explanatory, but also includes a course in accounting, which is taken up in the second semester. Commercial law is of great practical value, giving the students a greneral knowledge of common law and business methods. AGRICULTURE An elective four-year course is available to those students interested in agriculture. The first year consists of a course in animal husbandry. Second-year students study soils and crops—their structure and usage. In the junior and senior courses, an alternate study is made of farm management and farm mechanics. Farm management is comprised of a study of records and the better farm managament, including farm bookkeeping. In farm mechanics, students study farm shop enterprises and learn to construct simple farm buildings. Supervised home projects are an important part of these courses, and are required of everybody before any credit may be given. All courses are under the direction of Mr. Bidner. SCIENCE Four science courses are available to the students of P. C. H. S. General science is the introductory course required of all freshmen and is taught by Mr. Ohmart. Biology, a combination of plant and animal study, is an elective sophomore course, with Mrs. McCarty as the instructress. Mr. Ohmart has charge of the junior and senior courses, chemistry and physics respectively. Chemistry provides the student with a general knowledge of consumers’ science, as well as serving as a prerequisite for many careers. Physics is a study primarily designed to acquaint the student with his physical surroundings. HOME ECONOMICS This department, under the supervision of Mrs. McCarty, includes separate courses in foods and clothing. Neither is a “snap course.” Foods teaches the student not only how to prepare meals, but also how to plan a properly balanced diet essential for good health. The clothing course covers a much broader scope than merely learning to sew. Proper color combinations, good styling for individual figures, and methods of emphasizing personal characteristics are also taught to the future “well-dressed women of America.” HISTORY Four courses in history are offered by P. C. H. S., and all are taught by Miss Bear. Two years of history are required for graduation. If the two-year course is selected, world history is required of juniors, and U. S. history of seniors. If, however, three years of history are desired, a combination of ancient and medieval history is taken the sophomore year, modern history the junior year, and U. S. history the senior year. An eight-weeks’ course in civics is also required of every senior, in conjunction with the U. S. history. It provides the student with a general knowledge of our system of national, state, and local government. MATHEMATICS Three courses in “math” are taught in P. C. H. S. Of these, elementary algebra and plane geometry are required of all freshmen and sophomores. Freshman algebra is taught by Coach McCarty, and plane geometry by Mr. Meier and Miss Gracen. Advanced “math” is open to both juniors and seniors, and includes a semester of advanced algebra and one of solid geometry. These courses are under the direction of Mr. Swinney. They are required for many college courses. ENGLISH Four courses of English are required of every student. English I and II consist of rhetoric and composition, together with selections from English and American literature. Freshmen are taught by Miss Strong, and sophomores by Miss Swinford. English III takes up the history and development of the literature of England, with the last six weeks reserved for a course in grammar. Senior English is exclusively a study of American literature, its history and development, including contemporary writings. The last six weeks are devoted to a concise summary of grammar. Both junior and senior English classes are taught by Miss Emsing. T IS Fill!
