The Sonhomore class, under the leadership of Ed Karr, engaged in many - K - - - 11 11 worthwhile activities. Cur Sock I-lop was a tremendous success. As juniors, led by Don Rollins, we had a very busy year, filled with memorable events, including preparing our Homecoming float, choosing a class ring, and studying for the constitution tests. Displaying our dramatic talents, our Junior play, Time Out For Ginger, was a combination of excellent acting and humorous situations. The junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, carrying out the theme of Oriental Gardens, showed a lot of work and effort by the various committees. Six members of the junior class became members of the National Honor Society, which originated in Paxton in February, 1957. The six honored students were Noel Workman, Nita Newman, Judy Aukland, Janis Nafziger, Elinor Johnson, and Pat Henson. Several members of the class, who showed interest in dramatics, were initiated as members of the Thespian Society, also, a 10 eniofzs newly-formed organization. ,lunior Thespians were -loan Sandberg, Nita Newman, Bill Morrison, Carol Goode, and Greg Harrell. As Seniors, our all-school party was presented in the unusual theme of Hernando's Hidewayf' Honors received by various seniors included: Student Council President, jim Carson, Class President, Ruth Bixby, Homecoming Queen, Patsy Brown, Blue and Gold Editor, Carol Goode: Football Captain, Mickey Henson, and DAR winner, ,lanis Nafziger. Our four years at Paxton High came to an end with the traditional Class Day and the receiving of our diplomas. With a realization of the great value of the experience and wisdom we had gained, we recalled all our pleasant memories, which we will cherish in years to come. genial 'finance Gommiifee .S'lumliny, Lvfl In Righl: Miss Bear, Advisor, Noel Workman: Bill Petersong Judy Aukland .S'i'ulvd, Lefl to Righl: Pat Henson, Janis Nafzigerg Ruth Bixby The President selected this committee from the class to plan ways to finance the Reflector. The projects used to raise the money necessary for our Reflector budget were an all-school party, a refreshment stand at a home game, the annual Homecoming mum sale, the picking up of corn, a bake sale, and the school pin sale.

We do hereby, being of sound mind and body, make the following bequests, feeling we can not depart from this institution without leaving a few of our many and outstanding capabilities and accomplishments. To the Juniors, we will our amazing talent for making third-place floats, to give the other classes a chance for first place. To the Sophomores, we will our intellectual approach to all phases of our education. To the Freshmen, we will our feelings of superiority and sophistication, so they can successfully complete their four years at Paxton High. To the Faculty, we will our sincere sympathy for the loss they will suffer in our absence from the halls of P. H. S. I, Pat Albers, will my quiet manner to Gloria Voorhees. I, Janet Anderson, will my innumerable list of boyfriends outside Paxton to Virginia Bowen, who has only one. . I. Sharon Anderson, will my ability to keep calm in any situation to Miss Bear, so she can put up with next year's Reflector staff. I, Shirley Anderson, will my cold hands to Barbara McGuire, so she will have an excuse. I, Jim Ashmore, will my ability to attract Freshman and eighth grade girls to Jim Hiser. I, Judy Aukland, will my long legs to Betty Watson. I, Larry Beland, will my go-get-'um ways to Larry Foster. I, Ruth Bixby, will my pleasant smile to Mr. Rohlfing, to keep him happy in assembly next year. I, Larry Scooter Brown, will my nickname to Jim Swanson, so he can get to class on time. V I, Patsy Brown, will my pep and school spirit at the basketball games to Sharon White, to give Paxton a winning streak. I, Cleo Burgess, will my fiery temper to Karen Unzicker. I, Eldon Campe, will my atlas build to David Brown. I, Jim Carson, will my strict adherence to school rules to Mike Martin, who doesn't seem to know them yet. I, Alice Connour, will my place in Mechanical Drawing Class to next year's lucky girl, entrusted to Mr. Shields. I, Nancy Cruse, will my contented ways to Jane Leaf, because she is such a griper. I, John Erwin, will my curls to Gayle Streff. I, Bob Valentino Foster, will all the hours I spend grooming my hair to Richard Gunst. I, Jerry Fox, will my ability to go with several girls at thersame time to Merle Saldeen, who seems to be in a rut. 19 I, Gerald Fuoss, will my chemistry book to Mr. Kobler, knowing he will use it more than I have. I, Donna Nimble Fingers Golden, will my speed in typing to Jerry Lewis. I, Carol Goode, will my ability to spread the news to Mary Kay Miller. I, Greg Harrell, will my intense desire to go with a certain girl to Larry Noble, hoping it will get him interested in girls. I, Joyce Hendrickson, will my 98 pounds to Steve Wimer, as they won't make that much difference on him. I, Mickey Henson, will the Homecoming crown to Mickey Weburg, hoping that with practice, he can keep it on the queen's head next year. I, Pat Henson, will my nickname, Fats , to Carl Hudson, as it seems to fit him better. I, Larry Hubler, will my frequent absences to Perry Parsons. I, Alan Jamison, will my beard to Rodney Brown, to give him a more manly look. I, Elinor Johnson, will my ability to stay on the honor roll to Sally Peterson, who has made a good start.

I, Toni Morris, will my dimples to anyone who will take them, entrusted to Pete Silence. I, Wild Bill Morrison, will my secret formula for getting a girl to Larry Carlson, since he tries so hard. I, Janis Nafziger, will my devotion to my studies to Delores Martensen, to keep her mind off the boys.

I Dwaine Saldeen, will my happy-go-lucky personality to Miss Ragland, so the Typing I classes won't worry her so much. I, Joan Giggles' Sandberg, ain't willin' nuttin' to nobody, because I need everything I have, so I'm taking it with me. I, Stanley Sharp, will my reckless driving to Jay Holloway. I, Marilyn Wilt Shelton, will my talent in girls' basketball to Linda Seim, since she tries so hard. I, Bob Shreves, will my visits to Ludlow to Danny Lawless.

I, Noel Wisecrack Workman, will my jokes and never-ending wisecracks to John O'Hare, who doesn't really need any help. I, Bob Zeschke, will my hard-to-spell last name to Henrietta Schwartz, to keep the teachers confused. 21 A- -.,,. , pfzopiiecii Here I am, spinning around the earth in the first man carrying rocket, The Paxtonickf' The scientists who developed The Paxtonick are Bob Stanford and Gerald Fuoss. My former classmates- granted me the honor of being the first person to go into space with orders to record all data on the conditions of the stratosphere. The rocket has a viewscope, a device to enable me to see what the happenings on the earth are. There isn't much action in outer space right now. I think I'll focus my viewscope on earth and see what became of my other classmates. There's Rochester, Minnesota and, of course, the Mayo Clinic. There seems to be major surgery taking place there. The chief surgeon, Pat Henson, is operating on one of her former classmates, Jerry, Speedster, O'Donnell. I wonder what happened to him. Oh, now I remember. He was in a pile up at the Indianapolis 500-Mile Speedway. Mickey, The Terror, Henson skidded and turned over right in front of O'Donnell. I seem to remember Mickey had quite a reputation for driving too fast while in high school. There are nurse, Nita Newman, and chief interne, Noel Workman, walking down the corridor. I wonder if there is a romance between the two yet. Washington, D. C. is coming in clear now. There seems to be a disturbance in Congress. Rodney Parks, who is Speaker of the House, seems to be the cause of this commotion. He evidently still has the faculty for stirring up general confusion. All is calm in the Senate. Senators Bill Peterson and Larry Hubler are talking things over in their usual quiet manner. I heard recently Donna Golden is chief secretary to the President. I always thought Donna would make a good secretary. I just got a buzz from the boss at base to go around the earth. I wonder if any of my fellow classmates are in foreign lands. The huge continent of Africa is now below me. What's that down there? Why, it is a Foreign Legion outpost. I see Bob Foster and Stanley Sharp are standing guard duty. Can I believe my eyes? Under that palm tree-yes, it is-Bob Zeschke and Bob Marshall asleep. Certainly a familiar sight from high school days. I guess high school was too much for those guys, and afterwards they went into seclusion. I see Jim Ashmore is President of a huge automobile factory in India. It looks as if Pres. Ashmore is quite disgusted with two men in mechanic's clothes. Why. it's Eldon Campe and Dwaine Saldeen who evidently ran that car through a showroom window. It looks as if the car ahnost ran over two prosperous-looking Americans standing outside. I am almost certain those Americans are Larry Riggle and Alan Jamison. Zooming across the Pacific Ocean, I am back over the U.S., and Hollywood is now below me. I wonder if anyone from Paxton is a movie star. I guess so! There is Carol Goode's name in lights at Graumann's Chinese Theater. She is starring in the famous movie, Love Them, Then Leave Them, co-starring Bill Morrison. Bill has told me that he holds the record in receiving the most fan mail. Bill informed me, when I saw him last, that Larry Beland had been selected to star as Tarzan in the forthcoming television series. Larry Brown will be the gorilla in the Tarzan series. I am having such good luck with this viewscope that I think I will try my luck in Arizona. I see there is a rodeo in Arizona. There comes the King of Cowboys, Eddie Karr, with the Queen of the Rodeo, Wanda Vest, and that body under the roped calf can be none other than Jerry Johnson. Something exciting seems to be happening 22 now. I think I'll listen to what the announcer is saying. Ladies and Gentlemen, today we have with us America's foremost trick riders, 'The Stunt1ets.' Introducing Loretta Kirby, Marless Peters, and Mary McCabe. I'm going to take another trip East while my luck lasts. There seems to be a football game in Chicago. I believe the Los Angeles Rams will be playing the Chicago Bears. Yes, there is Melvin Rapp and Don Rollins playing for the Bears, and Bob Shreves and Jim Stuckey are in the Rams' lineup. Must be a time-out period, as I see no action. Wait a minute! There is someone running out on the field. It must be the Rams' waterboy, Greg Harrell. I hope he doesn't trip! Coach. Jerry Fox, of the Ram's, is trying, as usual, to get a player's attention. The last I read, Coach Fox had led the Ram's to a perfect winning record. One disadvantage to the viewscope is the speed at which I travel. New York. here I come. Now I am over New York. There's John Erwin driving a cab in the heart of the city. The cab is covered with colored stripes, showing the number of pedestrians he has hit. The nation's top fashion designer, Alice Connour, is riding in his cab. Alice became famous for her bloomer type formals. It seems either she or John is in a hurry to get somewhere. I imagine she is going to the International Fashion Show. I suppose as usual the nation's foremost models, Judy Aukland, Marilyn Shelton, and Bonnie King will be modeling some of Alice's fashions. I am sure that is the Metropolitan Opera House, and unless my eyes deceive me, there are Shirley Anderson and Jim Carson on the stage. I didn't know Jim could sing high tenor. I guess his voice must have changed. I know that must be the well-known society woman, Patsy Brown, in the front row. I wonder what her interest is in this opera? Now I'll just hop over to New Haven, Connecticut to the home of Yale University. Toni Morris has become the first woman professor to teach at Yale. It seems she is having quite a time. Yale has also admitted two woman students, Joan Sandberg and Patty Van Laningham. In all the classes these girls attend, nobody pays attention to the professors. There must be some loyal Paxtonites among the Class of '58. On my next orbit, I think I will tune in and see what is going on in the old home town. Patsy Albers and Nancy Cruse are owners of the Patton's Night Spot, who are advertising the Comedy Acrobats, Norma McClure and Cleo Burgess, as their star act. I guess they must use some of the stunts they learned in Physical Education classes at Paxton High. I wonder what is happening at my old Alma Mater. I know Ruth Bixby is the Chemistry teacher. I read that last year she blew out all the windows of the new high school building. She always did have a knack for mixing the wrong things. Joyce Hendrickson has set a new record as P.E. teacher. She has been there for ten years. I see Principal Elinor Johnson has just finished disciplining some ill-mannered freshmen. One of my classmates wrote me recently that Sharon Anderson had been elected mayor of Paxton. Sharon's official act was to open a school of training for reckless drivers with Janet Anderson in charge. One of Janet's first students was the president of The Second National Bank of Paxton, Beverly Lubben. Well, it sure has been interesting seeing what has become of my former classmates, but I must get started gathering data for the log. One thing for certain up here,-I can't be replaced. It certainly gets monotonous when all I have to do is count the stars 1, 2, 3 ,... 8001, 8002, 8003 ,... 23 Left to Right : President .,....,.. Representative Vice President, ,...... ...,...

The juniors this year proved themselves capable of accepting the responsibilities of Senior leadership. This year the juniors again suffered through the Constitution tests. The class members felt they made an outstanding selection for their class rings. Dear Ruth, their class play proved their dramatic talents. Disconnect 'um their Home- coming float won the class first prize. This year the tradition of the Prom was changed. A buffet dinner was served at the Clara Peterson School instead of the formal banquet of the past. Seniors and their Junior hosts enjoyed the buffet dinner followed by the traditional dance. 24 l.rj'1 lu lx'1'gl1l: Clifford Andvrson Bill Archer Ronnic Baird Larry Barringcr Dick Bement Ruby Blackford Jcrry Blcich Virginia Bowen Marla-nc Brown Paul Brucc Patsy Bryant Suv Burklund Rogcr Burton Bonnie Carlson Daw- Chapman Joyce Claytor Sarita Dorsey Larry Foster Karvn Franzcn Dm-0 Ann Georgi- Stan Grviscr Dan Haltom Jim Hazvn Jim Hn-nson Leff I0 Right: Lola Henson Steve Henson Jay Holloway Sandy Horridge Larry Kelley Marty Lewis Janet Lindgren Ann Lundy Donnie Marshall Delores Martensen Diana Mueller John O'Hare Bob Olson Jim Orr Janice Peterson Donald Quattlebaum Bob Reber Larry Renken Virginia Riggleman Bob Rollins Walter Roy Jerry Rydell Judy Sadler Richard Schneider l.vff tn Riglzii Caryl Smith Karla Stiflo Mary Stuckey Karah Thomas Shii-lfy Tibby Jim Van Laningham Charles Van Ostrand Ann Walker Michael Wvburg Corinne Worm-1' Robert Whoa-lox' Stvvc- Wimei' Donnie Wilson Ronald Wolfe .'llv.vv11l from f'irl1m' Linda Siglvrg Richard Purioll g P140 ofzes 3 Lvff fo Riylllt President ...,......

A supervised farming program is required of each student enrolled. Agriculture I and II are alternated every other year. Family Living is a course which contains information concerning the basic problems facing youth from teenage years through complete maturity, Homemaking I is a course containing the basic information with respect to sewing, cooking, child care, family relationships, home management, and personal development. The second year of homemaking covers in more detail the subjects in I-Iomemaking I. Homemaking III embraces the same unit titles as the prior two years, but the emphasis is shifted from those problems met in the present home, to those of the girl's future home. General Shop is designed to give experiences with the basic fundamentals of four great industrial areas of drafting, woodworking, metalworking, and electricity.
