Se tion The 49’ers entered PCHS in the fall of ’45, a green bunch of Freshmen. But under the expert tutelage of our advisers, Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Carlsten, and Mr. Van Huss, we soon became accustomed to high school. Our class officers were Jim Swinney, President; Stan Cornelison, Vice-President; Jeannie Maxwell, Secretary; and Howard Robertson, Treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Joy Lundberg and Dean Tieman. Bill Fox served as President our Sophomore year. Again Stan Cornelison served as Vice-President along with Secretary Marilyn Heicher and Treasurer, Gene Hardy. Our class advisers were Mrs. Carlsten and Miss Short. Bev Hamm and Jack- Shilts were elected as our representatives to the Student Council. Our lettermen in football were John Lee, Chuck Rutledge and Stan Cornelison. “Bones” Joyce and Dean Tieman received both football and basketball letters while Bill Fox and Gene Van Antwerp won letters in basketball. Stuart Hicker-son served as manager for both sports. During our Junior year we presented the play, “Meet the Middletons” directed by Miss Hart. Another big event on our calendar that year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, when we were hosts to the Seniors. Our President was Kenny Anderson; the Vice-President, Janet Chappelle; Secretary, Pat Steiner; and the Treasurer was Chuck Rutledge. John Lee and Marjorie Hendershott were our Student Council representatives. Mrs. Burton and Miss Anderson advised us. We were well represented in athelics as Dean Tieman, Gene Van Antwerp, Stan Cornelison, and Bill Fox all won letters in both football and basketball. Other football letters went to John Martin, Chuck Rutledge, Jim Swinney, Bill Sandstedt, Eugene Swenson, and Howard Robertson, while Bill Shinker, Sherman Nelson, Jack Shilts and Bill Anderson also were awarded basketball letters. For our last year in PCHS John Lee served as President; Howard Robertson, Vice-President; Pat Millos, Secretary; and Janet Weaver, Treasurer. We were representated in the Student Council by Ruth Palmberg and Bill Fox. Our advisers were Mr. Schroth, Miss Bear, and Miss Rasmussen. The Seniors had a big share in the Student Council as Jack Shilts was President and Bev Hamm first Vice; John Lee was Secretary-Treasurer. Ruth Palmberg, the senior queen candidate, and Chuck Rutledge, the 1949 football captain, reigned over the Homecoming court. Sixteen seniors were presented athletic letters. On May 16, we presented the annual senior play entitled ‘The Funny Fullers,” directed by Mr. Thompson Shields. Class Day was celebrated in the usual manner on May 18. The juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 20. Then on May 22 were the Baccualaureate services. We received our diplomas at the Commencement exercises on May 25 and with that we said good-by to our high school career.
