The Staff of the 1959 Reflector, by following a tradition of 55 years of consecutive publication, has attempted to relive the days of this past school year. In recalling these events we hope your memories will be pleasant ones and you will be reminded of the spirit of Paxton High School. We would like to thank the Class of 1959 for giving us this opportunity to serve as their Reflector Staff and F. H. S. for the good times we have had here. Larry Foster ........ Karla Stifle ........

Each morning we assembled in our auditorium for the opening exercises and daily announcements. From here each of us went his own way to clubs, classes, and study halls. Our day had begun! 9 Out classes As freshmen, you began your high school curriculum with several required subjects. sopLomoies . . .

As seniors, you were free to select those courses which would best complete your education. 11 Out I UHcli It me A familiar sight each day was the lunch line. The hell rang and everyone rushed to their places, somewhat relieved that half their day was over. Finally 3:30 came! There was the usual confusion of slamming locker doors and shuffling feet as eseryone made their way toward waiting Fuses, cars, anil drugstore for the customary “coke”. 12 Piociams anc) c A variety of interesting programs was presented to the student body this past year. Every organization was invited to plan an assembly to be given each Friday. In addition, the Student Council sponsored four performances of professional talent which were educational as well as entertaining. 13 omecomincj Homecoming festivities began Thursday evening, October 2, with the big pep rally. Floats, parade, snake dance, and bonfire all made it a huge success. Then the long - awaited - for night came; October 3, 1958, a date we will all remember. The team fought with undying spirit but could not outscore the powerful Eagles of Rantoul. To brighten our spirits, the marching band presented a sparkling half-time performance. 14 Students, friends, and alumni took a trip “Around the World” as they danced to the music of Johnny Cranford and his band. To climax the evening, Pat Bryant was crowned Queen of the 1958 Homecoming by football captain Mick Weburg. Her court was made up of Ann Lundy with Jim Orr as her escort, Karla Stifle and Jerry Lewis, and Betsy Theobald and Larry Barringer. The Princesses and escorts were Alberta Swan with Dick Bement, Dee Wagner with Dick Marshall, and Diane Short with Bill Campbell. 15 s The Class of ’58 presented the dramatic comedy Claudia” under the direction of Richard Pearce. The play centered around the lift' of Claudia who was a scatterbrain in most everything she did. But almost over night she grew up and realized she had to make the most of her life. The cast did an expert job in portraying the characters and the class should be commended for their outstanding production. The cast as pictured was: Silliiu left to right: Greg Harrell ........

Consequenlty she and her girlfriend Mildred wrote a ficticious adventure in her diary. This falsehood got Dexter into a mix-up with his parents, the Archers, and Cousin Agnes—resulting in mass confusion. The play was highly successful as it drew plaudits from both young and old. Congratulations to the cast and entire class for a fine production. 17 tfntlamu'ial It was time to let off a little steam and noon intramural sports was just the time to do it. This year our intramural program was organized and operated by Mr. Zuchowski, our Athletic Director, and Mrs. Bauer, Girls’ Physical Education teacher, who both did a very fine job. We participated in such recreation as whiffle ball, volley ball, basketball, ping pong, checkers, square, round, and social dancing, and badminton. At the conclusion of each section, awards were given to the winning individuals and teams. 18 listmas Vacation was near. It was time for the bin turkey dinner, opening presents, humorous skits and just plain fun. 19 Vacation is oOei The holidays had ended and once more we came back to semester exams, dances, and the usual daily routine. 20 eeclt Gontest Left to ri )lit: Seated: Sondra Newman, Corinne Werner, Berlha Lashley Standing: Judy Sadler, Jay Holloway, Steve Wimer, John Dorsey, Linda Sigler These students represented Paxton High School this year in the District Speech Contest at Gibson City.

Local employers and tradesmen co-operated with the high school by employing and training students in trades, under school supervision. Their instructor was Mr. James Smith. Senior girls interested in careers as office workers had an opportunity this year to receive on-the-job training in offices of local employers. This new vocational training course, with Miss Bessie Ragland as advisor, was known as the Office Occupations program.

The first Paxton High School Reflector was published in 1904. It was not compiled as our recent ones have been, but rather a number of school newspapers of the year bound together with a hard cover. Therefore, being organized in this manner, the first book was written by a representative group from the entire student body. It included such things as world-wide news of the day, club and class news, athletic events, humorous anecdotes and numerous advertisements. This first book was approximately six inches by nine inches and had around 150 pages. This policy continued until 1920, when size, organization, and content were changed. Tradition was set in 1922 as the Seniors financed and published the Reflector for the first time. This policy was to last thirty-seven years. This book was paper-bound, eight inches by eleven inches in size, and had approximately eighty pages. It was made up very similar to the book we are accustomed to, with classes, organizations, athletics, and alumni news. This type of book continued until 1952, when it was bound with a hard cover. But a more striking change was yet to come. In 1954 the size was changed to six inches by nine inches, which we publish now. So that is the history of our Reflector. But enough of the past; let’s look into the future. Nineteen fifty-nine marks the end of a Senior-published Reflector. In I960 the book will be organized and edited by a group of students representing the entire student body. This marks the end of a thirty-seven year tradition at Paxton High School. 23 Olcanizations Student (3 euncil This year the Student Council, under the sponsorship of Mr. James Smith and leadership of President Ron Baird, served our school in a number of ways. They conducted freshman orientation week, the welcome party for these “newcomers”, and the Homecoming activities. The election of all class and Student Council officers was also under their direction and, as in years past, they sponsored four professional assembly programs for our entertainment. In addition, because of their efforts we have at our disposal pop, candy, and pencil vending machines. The council’s objectives are to provide for student participation in school government, to promote democratic procedures by maintaining laws of good order, and to practice student-student and student-teacher cooperation.

Their primary duty as set forth in the Constitution was to determine the eligibility of all candidates for Student Council and class officers. Again this year they sponsored the annual Leadership Training School for all the officers of classes, clubs, and organizations. The Board revised and strengthened the rules of all school parties and prepared a party plan sheet for such events. For the second year, the Student-Faculty Board made possible a joint meeting of the Student Council with the Faculty to discuss all school problems.

With Mr. Archie Stewart as sponsor, the staff presented two skits for Friday morning assembly programs; and for the second year, they sold balloons in the annual national drive for the March of Dimes’ fund. In order to balance the budget the club held a community job sale and a spaghetti dinner. Left to right: Seated: Ann Lundy. Sec.; Jay Holloway, Editor; Sandra Perry, Art Ed.; Bertha Lashley, Cir.

With the guidance of Mr. Robert Rohlfing, the FFA secured adequate funds for their treasury by the sale of garden seeds and rat poison, a popcorn stand, the making and selling of concrete hog troughs, and the sponsoring of a Chicken Bar-B-Q with the FFIA. Eddie Karr, Jerry Bleich, and Larry Carlson attended the State FFA convention in 1958. This year, as every year, the officers for the following year attended the FFA Leadership Training School.

The seventy members of the GAA were sponsored by Mrs. Marna Bauer and were active in a varied sport program. Points for awards were earned by partaking in soccer, speedball, bowling, volleyball, tumbling, basketball, softball, and badminton. The club was hostess to the D.O. Party and to the Christmas school dance, took part in Christmas caroling with the FHA, and was in charge of the Spring Play Day held in Paxton. The group also entered the State GAA bowling tournament and the basketball shooting tournament. tfndusfaial CUts The purposes of the Industrial Arts Club are to create an appreciation of craftmanship among the members, to establish an esteem for the dignity of labor, and to assist the boys to become able citizens through participation in the social activities of the club. The club was engaged in the repair and construction of school equipment this year under the leadership of Mr. James Reeder. The organization sent their two high point members, John Peterson and Larry Barringer, and the President-elect for the following year, Tom Henson, to the Illinois Industrial Education Delegate Assembly. After the dismissal of school, the entire group planned to take a three-day trip. Left to right: Scaled: Tom Henson, Treas.; John Dorsey, VP; Merle Saldeen, Sec.; Larry Barringer, Pres.

Besides adopting a new name, they purchased new equipment to further their knowledge of life in Spanish-speaking countries. Through the club activities of the year, they tried to gain a better understanding of the habits and customs of the people of South America and Spain. “The High Hats” also worked to improve their usage of the Spanish language. A Christmas party, an assembly program, a chili supper, and a Christmas program kept this busy group stepping.

This group of students served a very useful service to our school by assuming the responsibilities of checking out books, shelving books, and the general maintenance of the library. The bulletin boards in the library and the attractive displays have been of special interest throughout the year. A display of new books and library material was made by the club to honor National Library Week. The local club is affiliated with State High School Library Clubs. A representative was sent to the meeting of the Executive Council of East Central Illinois held at Hoopeston. A representative of the Paxton club was appointed to serve on the Emblem Committee to select a pin to be adopted by the groups of East Central Division. 43 The National Honor Society serves to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. With the March initiation, four new candidates were received as active members. Those selected were Karen Franzen, Karla Stifle, Linda Sigler, and Pat Workman. Seven sophomores, Arlie Adkins, Martha Martin, Marcia Cambridge, Susan Johnston, Nancy Bolick, Sondra Newman, and James DeMuth, were chosen as probationary members. The annual dinner for the members, parents, and faculty was held in April at the Middlecoff Inn. Left to right: hirst row : Mr. Shields.

The winners were: Larry Foster—Open; Jim Hiser—Amateur. In order to finance the activities of the year, the members sold the pictures they took of the basketball players. 45 Pic tectcis dub The Projectors Club operated our school’s visual aids equipment. They not only showed movies to classes, assemblies, and special meetings bur they also operated the Vu-graph, the Opaque projector, the tape recorders, and various record players.

As tenderfeet, we were to mature into young men and women in the proceeding four years and become our Class of 1959. Electing Ron Baird as our first President, we began our high school activities by taking first place with our Homecoming float, “Train to Victory”. Becoming more accustomed to high school life, as sophomores, we chose Larry Foster as our “Prexy”. Again we received first place honors with our float, “Let’s Rock ‘N’ Roll ’Em”. At the close of the year, four of our classmates, Bob Reber, Sue Burklund, Pat Sheerer, and Ann Lundy were initiated into the National Honor Society for high scholastic ability, character, leadership, and service to our school. In our Junior year the wheels began to roll and, to lead us in this busy year, we called on David Peterson. As the year began, history repeated itself with first place for our “Cut Their Line” Homecoming float. We presented the highly entertaining Broadway comedy “Dear Ruth”, which received plaudits from both classmates and community. Our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom were held at the Middlecoff Inn and Clara Peterson School. The theme was a beautiful “Aquamarine” with decorations of sea shells, fish nets, and mermaids. Recognition was also given to Sherry Hoover as she was initiated into the National Honor Society at the end of the year. Then came class day and we were lead into our Senior section, with which came more responsibilities and duties. We were ready to become Seniors. So, headed by David Peterson again, our Senior year began, filled with more important obligations, more unforgettable experiences, and all the activities which we would be doing for the “last time”. It all began with Homecoming; our “PHS-Victory” float receiving honorable mention and one of our best liked classmates, Pat Bryant, as Homecoming Queen. To step-up the pace we presented the sparkling comedy “Meet Corliss Archer”, which drew laughter from young and old. To finance our activities for the year we embarked on a new project of selling sweatshirts, of which we sold over 250 to students, teachers, and community. Three more of our class, Karen Franzen, Karla Stifle, and Linda Sigler, were inducted into the National Honor Society in March. Through these last four years we have acquired knowledge not only from books but also from experience. Therefore in our Senior year we accepted the challenge of leadership in our school. Ron Baird was President of the Student Council. Mick Weburg was the 1958 football squad Captain. Jay Holloway was Editor of the BLUE AND GOLD and Thespian President. Larry Kelley was Band and A Cappella Manager. Ann Lundy received the DAR good citizenship award and Ann was also the Editor of the REFLECTOR, with Karen Franzen as Assistant Editor. 68 Ollicels iiwm im:ti:ksi:n. Preside n( Photo C 3; Sc C 1-3.
