tM'ti.ta'uf, o-jj the Seniae CladA In the fall of 1943, P.C.H.S. opened her doors to welcome another class of Freshmen wearing the traditional “green” look. We elected as our class officers: John Cameron, president; Lemuel Burklund, vice-president; Aldora Siddens, sec- retary; and Beverly Brison, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Kay Carson and Bob Cottrell. Our sole letterman was Bud Merrimac. We were sponsored by Miss Gracen and Mr. Henderson. As Sophomores we took our place in P.C.H.S., eager and more than willing to razz the Freshmen. With the help of Miss Leslie and Mrs. Anderson we selected Eddie Dickey as president; Lemuel Burklund, vice-president; Doris Wat- son, secretary; and Vera Reynolds, treasurer; and Helen Huber and Vernon Saldeen as Student Council representatives. Jane Merrimac was a varsity cheer- leader and Eddie Dickey, Bill Harrington, Jack McCabe, Bud Merrimac, and Howard Rhodes won letters in athletics. The first highlights of our junior year was the play, “A Little Honey”, directed by Miss Watkins and presented on November 19. We chose Jack Swinney ns president; Don Smith, vice-president; Jo Ann Griswold, secretary, and Mona Stagen, treasurer: We were represented in the Student Council by Margaret Anderson and Jack McCabe. Bob Cottrell and Don Smith were chosen as first and second vice-presidents respectively of the Student Council. Jane Merrimac and Norma Hollister were cheerleaders, and we were well represented in athletics by the following lettermen; Larry Blue, Bob Cottrell, Eddie Dickey, Bill Harring- ton, Myron Hawk, Jack McCabe, Bud Merrimac, Howard Rhodes, Don Smith and Dick Smith. On May 17, we entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet and prom. The Junior advisers were Mrs. Trigg and Miss Scott. For our last year in P.C.H.S. Eddie Dickey again served as president; Dick Smith, vice-president; Pat Cleary, secretary; and Doris Watson, treasurer. Our representatives to the Student Council were Mona Stagen and Don Karr. Jane Merrimac and Norma Hollister were reelected as varsity cheerleaders. Don Smith and Jo Ann Griswold reigned over the Homecoming. The seniors had their share of officers in the Student Council: Bob Cottrell, president; Jack McCabe, first vice; Margaret Anderson, second vice. The lettermen for the class of 1947 were: Larry Blue, Bud Merrimac, Jack McCabe, Dick Smith, Don Smith, Bob Cottrell, Eddie Dickey and Howard Rhodes. Our supervisors were Miss Bear and Mr. Ohmart. On May 13 we presented “The Ghost Parade”, the annual Senior play, directed by Miss Jackson. We were the guests of honor at the Junior- Senior banquet and prom, May 16. We observed Class Day on May 21 with the usual ceremonies. With the Baccalaureate Service, May 25, and Commencement, May 27, we said good-bye to P.C.H.S. and four of the happiest years of our lives.
