£ T H Fo EHIOR FRESHMEN: Many a fret and fear accompanied us as we entered P. C. H. S., the customary green crop of Freshmen. With Miss Gracen and Mr. Bidner advising us, we chose Bill Overstreet, president; Jack Kenney, vice-president; Betty Robertson, treasurer; and Betty Frank, secretary. Our representatives on the Studen Council were Barbara Given and Lee Carlson. SOPHOMORE: With the green tint gone from our faces, we were well established in the halls of P. C. H. S. We had Warren Johnson as president, Harold Ingold as vice-president, Kathryn Metz as secretary, and Betty Lawhead was treasurer. As Student Council representatives we had Barbara Burton and Bill Over-street. Cleo Bayles won a football letter, Merle Lundeen was manager in football, and Mary McGauley was a cheerleader part of the year. JUNIOR: As juniors we presented our play, “Girl Shy,” with Miss Watkins as our director. All went well, and the capacity audience was very enthusiastic. Our class president was Warren Gustafson, our vice-president was Donald Anderson, our secretary was Norma Terrell, our treasurer was Jean Reid, and we were advised by Misses Crosby, Watkins and Scott. In keeping with the custom of old, we were hosts to the seniors on May 12 at the Junior-Senior Banquet. SENIOR: In our last year, we chose John Doty for president, Barbara Given for vice-president, Betty Lawhead for secretary, and Betty Robertson for treasurer. Bill Overstreet was president of the Student Council with Norma Terrell and John Peterson as our representatives. We were guests of the juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 11, 1945; and our last performance from the stage of P. C. H. S. was our play on May 7, 1945, entitled “Spring Green.” Baccalaureate Services were held on Sunday, May 27; and we were presented our diplomas on May 29.
