Jnaok In 1945 P. C. H. S. had twenty-four boys out for track. They worked hard and entered in two meets—a triangular one in Rantoul and the Wauseca League meet also held at Rantoul. In the triangular meet John Doty won the high jump, placed fourth in the discus throw, and third in the 440 yard dash. “Hap” Wheeler tied for third in pole vault. Bud Merrimac was fourth in the 100 yard dash and Jack Kenney made third in the mile. Although we didn’t win the Wauseca League meet we did have several who placed: John Doty won the high jump. Jack Kenney placed second in the mile; Bud Merrimac third in the 220 yard dash; Bob Cottrell fourth in the hurdles and fourth in the broad jump. “Hap” Wheeler tied for third in the pole vault and Jack McCabe placed third in the half mile. The six boys mentioned in the preceding paragraph received letters as a result of their hard work and determination.

tf-ooiball The P. C. H. S. football team of 1945 was built from an earnest group of boys excellently coached by C. C. Galbreath. Many of the men were very light in weight (the back field average only one hundred thirty pounds), and that was a decided disadvantage. However, in spite of the fact that they did not win many games, the football team deserves much praise for the fighting spirt they showed throughout the season. In the opening game of the year Paxton won a decisive victory from Gilman. They defeated Drummer in their third game of the season, and tied 13-13 with Milford in their seventh. This years lettermen were “Vince” Graham, Carl Martin, co-captains; Jack McCabe, “Joe” Rasmussen, Larry Blue, Eddie Dickey, Bill Harrington, Neil Piper, Myron Hawk, Bob Cottrell, Bud Merrimac, Howard Rhodes, “Hap” Wheeler, Don Smith, and Dick Smith.
