n 66 REFLECTOR PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL, PAXTON, ILLINOIS Cfcuclemic-ptj 8 . XitjlilitjItLs-pij 30 A new school and new doorways opening upon familiar activities in different surroundings . . . The cheers from an energetic Pep Club and a multitude of fans. A team of skillful and determined players proudly fighting for the Blue and Gold—upon a football field, basketball court, or cinder track; . . . this our doorway to sports. At no time has the door to administration been wider ajar, for this first year has been a trying one. Doorways are all too familiar to the physical plant—tremendous time and effort must be expended to maintain so large an institution. 4 No one can deny that the doorway of academics has been most effectively widened—vast improvements have been made in classroom facilities, well equipped shop areas, greater diversity of courses, an increased faculty . . . The doorway most extensively used in the new building is literally the one through which citizens of the community come to assemble. v i % I [ • 1 6 P.E. classes are now conducted in an attractive gymnasium capable of seating over 1500. Certainly such facilities may be effectively utilized for many types of community gatherings. Plays, concerts, speeches, ceremonies, parades, parties, tours, classes . . . academics, highlights, organizations, sports, and personalities are all to be found behind the doors of Paxton High. 7 Sue Belle Benear B.S.

The use of films and tapes and the possibility of recording and retain- ing a record of improvements have aroused enthusiasm. Utilization of the new lab is becoming increasingly evident in the improved pronunciation and fluency of the future linguists. ,CA o retan “ • Above: Mrs. Veatch’s Latin II class Below: Language Lab stimulates interest 12 Archie Stewart; Free Reading in Mr. Stewart's English III class Employing a Visual Aid in Speech Class Two major advancements have been made in the English Department.

Wrestling, boxing, and square dancing, plus a disaster medical self-help course, were added to the regular program. These improvements helped to provide a wider variety of new sports and activities than have ever before been offered. Norman Henderson New equipment, ample space, and another instructor, have made it possible to broaden the curriculum of the Industrial Arts Department. Electricity and Metalworking are now offered in addition to Woodworking. Robert C.

Presently the boys are held respon- sible for individual projects. Accurate records of all expenses and essential information concerning the project must be kept. In some cases, students who qualify for “on-the-job” training receive actual experience by working on the farm under supervision. This unique and well-rounded course of study produces many fine young future farmers. 22 Mr. Douglas, Guidance Director The basic purpose of the Guidance Department is to assist students in any area pertaining to educational, vocational, or personal advancement. In order to achieve these objectives as efficiently and effectively as possible, Paxton High has two counselors this year. Mrs. Margaret Fiorillo is Dean of Girls, and Mr. Stanley Douglas is Department Director and Dean of Boys. N. Stanley Douglas Margaret A.

At the news of his death, the students of Paxton High School and Mr. “D’s” many friends were deeply grieved. His presence will be missed, for although he was small in stature, his spirit was big in understanding and patience. The many people who were associated with him will well remember, for years to come, his short figure strutting through the halls of Paxton High School. Nor will they soon forget his gift of laughter, the twinkle of his eyes, and his love for and interest in people—all kinds of people. To perpetuate his memory, a scholarship fund has been set up to help a graduate in each of the next four years’ classes further his education. In this way, the memory of Mr. “D” will continue to serve as he did in life—helping people. 25 Charles C. Newman i ( (.) fra i o t 26 Mr. Shields, who is responsible for high school administration, has been Paxton’s principal for the past sixteen years. Mr. Newman, whose office is now located in the new high school, is Superintendent of Schools. Together they have had many problems to solve this year in making the adjustments necessary in a new building, with new equipment and a broader curriculum. New policies introduced by the high school administration this year include: A one-hour afterschool detention period for disciplinary purposes; hall duty performed by teachers before and during school hours; a shuttle bus service for students living in and near town; a closed campus during the lunch hour for all students eating at school; and the reorganization of the Student-Faculty Board. Thompson Shields Dedication to community spirit and educational improvement, and a love for youth motivate the individual and collective membership of the Hoard of Education of the Paxton Community Unit Schools. Good schools are the result of strong leadership, clear vision for the future, and a desire to truly serve the coming generation. Paxton’s Board of Education are giving of their time and talents to the purpose that Paxton Community Unit Schools may continue to grow successfully.

The five members of the committee are chosen at large by the Student Council. Every Christmas it has become a custom for this committee to sponsor the A. F. S. Christmas Tree. Another sponsored project, which has proven to be a very effective money maker, is the A.F.S. Banquet, held each spring. Several community residents work in conjunction with the A.F.S. committee in planning all fund raising events.

Joe, as he is known to his classmates, was born on May 8, 1947, the son of Jose and Marguda Pascoati. In Paxton, Joe is living with the Robert Bankson family. John, a senior in Paxton High, is his foster-brother. Joe’s senior subjects include Algebra, Speech, Government, Economics, English IV, Geography, and P.E. Though his schedule is not as full as it was in the Brazilian schools, he still feels that there is plenty of academic “push” provided at Paxton.

Mystery In The Library cleverly revealed a series of events which occurred, during a stormy night, on the campus of Clarke College. Suspense and drama mounted as the Bugle staff members sought the villain responsible for several disappearances and a bloody murder. 40 41 42 Above: Choruses sing Christmas carols Right: Backstage at the Christmas Concert; Faculty baby sitting; Christmas tree The annual Junior - sponsored Christmas Dance was held December 17, in the new high school gym.

We uo 7 a u In April of 1965, the Senior Class presented Caught In The Villain's Web, a melodrama, under the direction of Mr. R. Keith Jones. The play concerned a rich old woman, a hypochondriac, who was wooed by a villain in order to obtain her money. To pull off his scheme he enlisted the unwilling aid of the old woman’s butler. The comedy was further complicated by the fact that the old woman was trying to marry her son to a society snob. However, the son fell in love with his mother’s nurse. As in all melodramas, the villain was foiled. The butler shot him at the play's climax. Above Seated: Luwana Tarleton, Donna Sharp.

With Mr. Jerome Hart directing, the Concert Band opened the program with two of its contest pieces, followed by several lighter numbers. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Mevette, the Freshman Girls' Chorus sang “A Stranger in Paradise”; the A Cappella Chorus sang “Selections From West Side Story” and the Girls’ Chorus presented numbers such as “My Desert Flower”. “Sonata for Saxophone and Piano”, by Joanne Bowen and Donna Sharp, and a vocal solo, “Hello, Young Lovers” by Carol Rohlfing, added much to the night’s success. The combined choruses and band, as the highlight of the evening, presented “American Panorama”. The Concert Band played a program of popular music and contest selections Combined band and chorus under the direction of Mr. Hart closed the program 50 Baccalaureate Services were held Sunday, May 23, 1965, in the old high school auditorium. At eight o’clock the Class of ’65 solemnly proceeded down the aisles, to begin this first step of their Commencement Exercises. As songs were presented by the A Cappella Choir and the Madrigals, memories of bygone days, fun and friendships floated through the minds of every senior. As the address and benediction were given, each senior swallowed a lump in his throat, remembering that he was a part of the last Baccalaureate Service to be held in the old high school. Both he and the “old school’’ were becoming a part of the past at P.C. H.S. Above: The Seniors initiate their caps and gowns at Baccalaureate Below: A Cappella singing during Baccalaureate services 51 With semester finals over, seniors attended their last assembly, Class Day. As the seniors moved from participants in high school to onlookers, other classes, too, moved up to their respective sections. Traditionally, the incoming freshmen joined the school body at this time. Honors, awards, and a program by the Chanute Air Force Band made a gay afternoon of the first event of Commencement week.

Sentimental recollections of many exciting experiences and memorable events occupied the minds of the seniors as they sat through chilly commencement ceremonies at Memorial Field. The emotions of these graduates were perhaps more nostalgic than those of other senior classes, for the Class of 1965 was the last one to graduate from the old Paxton High School building. Many memories of the old building will hold a special place in the hearts of the Class of 1965.

A new section, an index, many more pictures, and several style changes have been incorporated into the longest yearbook in Paxton High’s history. Although one period a day is allotted to the Reflector, the staff gave much more of their own time to planning and producing what they hope will be the best Reflector Paxton has had.

Though the staff was new, it took very little time for them to become accustomed to reporting, proof - reading, making dummy sheets, and folding papers. Remaining on the schedule set up last year, the staff turned out six issues of the paper. Columns such as Coaches’ Corner, Unhappiness Is . . . , and Guidelines, became “old faithfuls” that everyone enjoyed. New ideas were incorporated, too. such as changing the headline, using red ink, and providing an insert page for Christmas.

At every bi-monthly meeting, interesting programs are presented. At one meeting Paxton’s foreign exchange student, Joe Pascoati, gave an informative talk on the relationship between the Latin Language and his native Portuguese. This year, for the first time, the Latin Club entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, with which they took a second place; on October 16, the club held a very successful community bake sale. The annual Roman Banquet, held in the spring of 1965, featured a play entitled “Rinse the Blood Off My Toga”, presented by several Latin Club members. These events help keep alive an interest in Latin. Latin Club's Homecoming Float Idents Right Front Row: D. Seim, B. Nave, N. Blanchet, I. Baquero, J. Donaldson, D. Quinter, L. Dye, D. Hale, K.

These aims are to encourage greater interest in girls’ sports, and to promote high standards of health and sportsmanship. Among the many activities in which the G.A.A. participated this year were softball, bowling, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and tumbling. The girls and their fathers participated in a Daddy-Date Night in the fall, and the mothers attended the formal initiation of new members in February.

The Council members may bring student-originated ideas before the administration. The Council supervises assemblies, and is responsible for Homecoming Q)tuc e i Coet icii festivities. To build the American Field Service fund, the Student Council sponsors an annual A.F.S. Dinner every spring. A most important project of the Council this year is the establishment of the Mr. Dalagicomo Memorial Scholarship.

To provide a suitable memorial for Mr. “D.”, as he was best known to the students, Paxton’s Student Council has established the Louis Dallagicomo Scholarship Committee. A scholarship will be given a graduating senior, based primarily on financial need and scholastic ability. The recipient must be in the upper one-half of his class and accepted by a college or university. It is hoped that enough money can be raised so that four such scholarships can be provided. A fund raising campaign was planned, which included a benefit basketball game; public donations; contributions from school organizations, faculty and administration; donations at a home basketball game; a benefit concert by Mrs. Alphonso Bacqu-ero; and a donations’ jar in the lobby. 84 Seated: Tom Brown, Vice-President; Steve Elson, President: Connie Swan, Secretary Standing: Steve Swanstrom.

The students alternate, on a halfday basis, between study in school and training on the job. During employment time, the student learns an occupation and practices the skills it requires. His school time is devoted to prescribed high school courses, and related technical information for his on-the-job occupation.

The main purposes of the club are to promote fellowship among P.C.H.S. athletes; to take an active part in school activities; to do some service for the good of the school; and to foster good sportsmanship. Members collected material for the Homecoming bonfire, supervising its preparation and lighting. The Lettermen’s Auction, which has become a tradition, added a new feature to the fun. For the first time, some local merchants contributed items to be auctioned. This year the organization also passed a constitutional revision which will change the requirements for trackmen to letter.

Having completed the activity board project, the group presented it to the school in the spring of 1965. This board, used as a calendar for current and future school events, is kept up-to-date by the club members. This year, the Lettermen made a major contribution to the schco'. In conjunction with the Student Council, they purchased a movie camera for use at athletic and school events. Money makers used for this project were the sale of programs, the refreshment stand at the Paxton Holiday Tournament, and the Harlem-Satellite basketball game. The club also took tickets at all home basketball games, sold programs at home football games, and kept the score board and swept floors at the home basketball games. jCe e r ne ils (L: iOf u s Lettermen build Homecoming bonfire Right, Front Row: Mr. Newman, Denny Short, Mr. Starkey, Mr. Shields Back Row: Tim Schofield, Nick Lewis, Darrel Seim, Steve Facey, Mr. Zuchow- “Can you tell me where to find back issues of Times magazine?” Similar questions are heard every day by members of the Paxton Library Club as they a'd students in the library.

Then fate stepped in, in the form of injuries. With as many as six first string players sidelined, the team was severly crippled. They were forced to use sophomores, who, though they gave a good account of their skills, lacked the experience of their opponents. The varsity basketball team had an outstanding season, compiling an 18 and 7 record for the year. In the Paxton Holiday Tournament, they lost the first game but went on to win the Consolation Championship. At the regular season’s close, they entered the state tournament and won the Gibson City Regional, setting a school scoring record of 112 points in one game. In the first game of the Sectional against Armstrong, Paxton led for three quarters, then hit a cold spell, and lost.

Handicapped by loss of players to the varsity squad because of varsity injuries, the Sophomores showed a strong sense of teamwork which gave the unit a greater strength than otherwise could be claimed. The Sophomores sometimes operated as a Junior Varsity team, in conjunction with second-string members of the varsity squad, sometimes as a Sophomore squad. But in both capacities they showed aggressiveness and a desire to win, even when facing such power - houses as Urbana and Schlarman. Front Row: Duane Seim.

The huge partition in the gym which was to divide the P.E. classes was not in operation most of the year, and, in a sense, co-educational classes were instituted for the first time. An enlarged P.E. teaching staff improved the student-teacher ratio of the classes. With more teachers and smaller classes, greater attention was given to individual students. Besides the old stand-bys of basketball, tumbling, softball, vol-leybal, whiffleball, and calisthenics, new programs were added. They included wrestling, boxing, square dancing, and ball gymnastics. The new gym afforded recreation during the noon hour, when students participated in games of volleyball and basketball. All in all, sports added up to hours of fun and aching muscles.

Their High School life began with a week of initiation, and then followed the usual well-established pattern. They sponsored parties, built Homecoming floats and earned money for Prom. Much hard work went into the preparation for the Junior Prom, as well as into the raising of money to finance it. Everyone agreed it was Front Row: Diana Lower, Secretary; Mike Johnson, President; Julie Apland, Student Council Representative Row 2: Dean Dillon, Student Council Representative; Linda Abrahanson, worth the work, and it was termed a huge success. The Junior Class play, “Hillbilly Weddin”, was a first financially and dramatically. In keeping with their character as a class, the first Senior class to attend the new high school and the first to graduate from there, was the first class to choose to graduate in robes of more than one color . . . they chose to have maroon robes for the boys and white ones for the girls.

During Homecoming season the members planned and constructed a float using the theme “Mustangs’ New Horizon”. The class play, Mystery in the Library, was a major highlight during the year. To the Juniors, a class play proved to be a new and enjoyable experience. Moreover, they were the first group to employ the improved stage and lighting facilities in the new gym. A winter fantasy of “White Christmas’’ came alive at the Junior-sponsored Christmas Dance, which was held on Friday evening, Dec- First How: Judy Donaldson, Student Council Representative; Jim Swanson, President; Barb Jones, Treasurer Second How: Sandy Maulding, Secre- ember 17. Planning and preparation for the 1966 Junior-Senior Prom naturally entailed many hours of hard work. Additional decisions were required since precedents had not been established for such events in the new building. Because the class play was only a moderate success financially, other sources of revenue had to be explored to support the prom expenses. Concession stands, coat-checks, bake sales, and special projects were sponsored. Extensive research was conducted on the possibilities for a future memorial to classmate Ed Peterson. tary; Linda Rattenborg, Vice-President Top Row: Mark Thompson, Student Council Representative; John Swengel, Student Council Representative NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members Jack Fields Janet Guthrie Rodger Lubben William Nuss John Reep James Swanson John Swengel Sandra Troxel Marla Yancey Dianne Zumw'alt Certificate of Merit Judy Albers Philip Hass Nancy Hoover Roberta Krueger Rick Nimon Jill Wilson MUSIC AWARDS Flute Duet—First Mary Krukoski Flute Quartet—First Janet Guthrie Saxophone Duet—Second Julia Branson Vocal Octet Second Sandy Maulding Nancy Hoover Colleen McCabe Linda Adkins John Swengel Vocal Solo—Third Bonnie Hustedt Vocal Quintet—Third Linda Adkins Sandy Maulding Nancy Hoover SPEECH AWARDS District — Extemporaneous Speaking— Colleen McCabe, Fourth F.F.A.

Their history at Paxton High began on August 28, 1964, when they attended the very first Freshman Orientation program. As the year progressed, the class won honors in the Homecoming float contest, receiving first place with their float “Shake, Rattle, n Roll ’em”; in Music Contest they placed with both solos and ensembles; in basketball they held a 10-2 record; and in football they ended with a five win, one loss, and one tie record. They began their ’65-’68 school year by again winning the Homecoming float contest, this time with their float “Make Kindlin' Outta Oakwood . Again vocal soloists and solo instrumentalists and ensembles rated high at Music contest. Finally, the basketball and football teams ended very successful seasons. The basketball squad ended the year with a 15-4 record, and the football team had a fair season.

Then on August 31, these green little Freshmen became the first Freshman class in the new Paxton High School. They surprisingly found upper-classmen (and teachers) just as green and as confused as they were. It took a while for everyone to get used to the new school. For once, Freshmen were not the only ones late to classes. Throughout the year, the Freshmen proved themselves successful in many fields. Their football and basketball teams had good seasons, Front Row: Chris Martin, Treasurer; Rick Vaughn, President; Terry Dunnan, Student Council Representative Row 2: Tom Swengel, Student Council 154 t 'le.sf net OS . and show promise for excellent varsity teams. The Freshman Homecoming float, “Extinguish the Comets’ won fourth place. The Freshman clas: was well represented on the semester Honor Roll. Many Freshman received awards in football, basketball, and F.F.A. They sponsored an all-school party on April 15. During the year the Freshman class sponsored several bake sales. Some of the money they earned, they donated to the Mr. “D.” Memorial Scholarship Fund. Like all classes, they stirred up their share of trouble, but only to let people know that the class of ’69 had arrived.
