Phil’s family was Mr. and Mrs. Arne Elvrum and their five children. 8 Above: Khina Bueno; Mr. Bueno, Mrs. Bueno, Rhina, Mr. Kingston, Mrs. Wilson, visit P.C.H.S. Ilelov.': The Bttcno family spent Thanksgiving together. Miss Rhina Bueno of La Paz, Bolivia, has brought with her to Paxton High the spirit of Latin America. Rhina was born on October 21, 1949, has two brothers who are presently studying in England, and one sister at home in South America. While she is staying in Paxton, her foster family are Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wilson, Jr., Jane, a freshman, and Jill, a senior. During Thanksgiving holidays last November, Rhina’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Bueno, came to visit the Foreign Exchange Student Wilson’s and had a chance to tour Paxton High. Rhina’s senior subjects include civics, shorthand, speech, history, typing, aiasi algebra. She is an honorary member of the Student Council and serves on the local A.F.S. Committee. She speaks several different languages including Spanish, French, and German, has studied Latin, and is learning to speak English more fluently. Rhina enjoys a small town, and finds the people of Paxton very friendly. Paxton is finding their eighth American Field Service student friendly, too, and very interesting. Freshman Orientation The class of 1970 found high school only a little confusing as they gathered for Freshman Orientation just prior, to the opening of school last fall. On the Friday before school got officially under way, the freshmen were given a sneak-preview of the high school, and a detailed explanation of the handbook and their class schedules. Student Council members conducted tours of the building and managed to slip in such helpful hints as, “If you’re late to a class, you’ve really had it!” Thanks to the help of the Council members and to the tolerance of the teachers during those first few days, the freshmen began to feel right at home in no time at all. At the close of the Orientation Week, a street dance was sponsored by the Student Council, to help the freshmen become better acquainted with their upper classmen. Belozc: Student Council members and Mr. Kingston distribute handbooks to incoming Freshmen. Right Top: Student Council V.P., Judy Donaldson, was there to welcome all new frosh. Right Bottom: Opening a locker for the first time isn’t always easy, but S.C. members were there to help. 10 ■1 ft Homecoming Floats A festive weekend of Homecoming activities began on Thursday, October 13th, with the annual Homecoming parade. The classes and organizations entering compete tion based their entries on the rheme of “Would You Believe?” Following the spirited parade through downtown Paxton, a bonfire and program were presented at Memorial Field. The announcement of the float winners, the naming of the Queen, and the traditional bonfire climaxed the evening of excitement. Tof Left: The winning float in the 1966 Homecoming Parade went to the Junior Class, “Four and twenty Eagles baked in a pie.” Tof Right: “Agitate the Eagles,” the Freshman float, rated fourth.

Ten actors either went quickly over their lines or nervously stood in amazement, realizing that the Junior Class Play for 1967 was about to start. The cast members of “Time Out For Ginger” took their places; actors waiting off stage for their cues relaxed as they heard the huge audience roar with laughter. After a speech to high schoolers about doing only what they want to do, Mr. Carol discovers his two eldest daughters refuse to take gym and his youngest daughter, Ginger, announces she is out for the football team! The solutions of Ginger’s problems provide many amusing moments. At intermission, Mrs. Potter, the director of the play, was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by the Junior Class president.

The Holiday Spirit A lighted tree atop the school, another in the lobby, and holiday decorations in the classrooms helped spread the spirit of the Christmas season throughout Paxton High. This year a new yuletide attraction was provided by the art classes: a number of colorful paper decorations were hung from the ceiling of the cafeteria. “Christmas at Twilight,” the annual Junior sponsored dance, was held on Friday, Decem- ber 16, and climaxed the last full week of classes before the long Christmas vacation. The gym was decorated as a street scene, with tinsel and twinkling lights on tall painted trees. A glittering sleigh served as the throne for Queen Becky Rodeen and King Dave Swanson. The Bacardi’s, a musical group from Rantoul, returned again this Christmas to provide the entertainment.

Following an afternoon of combined band practice, the musicians presented a concert for the public that evening. Each school played a selection of its own choice, and later the bands massed to play under the direction of Mr. William Johnston, State Supervisor of Music. A special feature of the program was the appearance of the Air Force Dixieland Band from Chanute. Above, Top: In spite of the worst snow in years, Ford County bands bussed to Paxton and waded into the school; Bottom: Massed bands presented the evening’s program.

Bottom: The entire play cast. Senior Class Play “The Remarkable Incident at Carson’s Corners” made headlines as the dramatic spectacle of the year, when it was presented on April 28 and 29, 1966. The actors involved became budding professionals, and even the behind-the-stage crews were caught up in the excitement of the event. After one of their schoolmates plunges to his death, a group of students hold a trial to determine the person guilty of Billy’s murder. As the evening progresses, more and more people find themselves faced with the guilt of the boy’s death. The proceeds from the second night of this event were donated to the Mr. “D” Memorial Scholarship Fund. Bight, Top: “So help me God.” replies Osborn, being sworn in as a witness; Below. Paul Tucker is restrained by fellow jurors. 21 Junior-Senior Prom The splendor of a gracious southern mansion, a sparkling showboat with an authentic paddle wheel, and the band of Johnny Rinaldo were the highlights of the 1966 Spring Prom. Three shades of green were chosen for the color scheme, creating the coolness of a garden party near the river. As each couple entered the pillared mansion and stepped onto the dance floor, the essence of “Southern Splendor” came alive. Toward the end of the evening, Jim Swanson, Master of Ceremonies, crowned the Prom Queen, Caryl Wesslund, and King, Mike Marron. Phil Hass and Judy Donaldson were named the Prom’s Prince and Princess. When the “clock struck 11” and the dance was brought to a close, everyone knew that the 1966 Prom would be one of the most memorable ever. Above: Hostesses and serving table at Prom.

P.C.H.S. was very well represented in both solo voice and instrumental competition, and ensembles for voice and instrument. With a will to win, six P.C.H.S. contestants went to District Speech Contest at Rossville, on February 11. Our contestants and their ratings were: Donna Fulton-serious reading, 3rd; Pat Apland-prose reading; Don Smith-original monologue, 3rd; Marcia Hill-after dinner speaking, 4th; Diane Johnson-verse reading, 2nd, and comedy reading, 2nd; John Swengel-radio speaking, 1st, and original oration.

Participating groups were A Cap-pella, Girls’ Chorus, the Dance Band, and the Concert Band. The highlight of the concert was the combined band and chorus presentation “Serenade to Spring”, a collection of well-known spring tunes. As an added attraction, Mrs. McCament had arranged a vivid, attractive exhibit of student art work in the lobby. Despite superstition, Friday the 13th became a red letter day for the music and art departments. Spring Concert Above: The Girls’ Chorus, led by Mr. Koschc, sings a medley of songs to spring. Left: The dance band swings pop tunes. 25 Baccalaureate To a processional duet, the Seniors of the Class of ’66 marched between rows of parents, relatives and friends to the stage of the PCHS gym. In addition to the sense of accomplishment which the Seniors felt, they were the first class to hold Baccalaureate services in the new high school. Although Rev. Barr discussed “The Race of Life” directly with the about-to-be graduates, his remarks were of considerable interest and benefit to the rest of the audience as well. As the A Cappella choir sang “Only a Rose,” the traditional red roses were presented to the mothers of each of the graduates. The evening service was concluded with the Recessional. May 29, 1966, will be a cherished memory for the class of ’66, and the beginning of a series of many more happy memories of similar evenings, equally impressive, in the history of the new Paxton High School. 26 Above: The Class of ’66 files in slowly as the program begins.

Class Day Class Day 1966 was honors day at P.C.H.S. Kathy Rinkenberger received the Condit Scholarship, Joan Hardman and Bernard Hartt the National Honor Society Scholarships, and Mike Maxey the Denny Darr Sportsmanship Award. The first Louis Dallagicomo Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Allan Johnson by Mr. D.’s mother and father. The ’66 Reflector presentation, athletic awards, and the Chanute Air Force Band performance completed the program. On Class Day, the first of four Mr. “D” Scholarships was awarded to Allan Johnson. Because Allan later received another scholarship, he gave up the Mr. “D” Award. During the summer, the scholarship was re-awarded to the graduate placing second in the scholarship selections, Mike Maxey (right). 27 Above, Left: Graduation exercises; below: A view of the Graduating Class of 1966.

Commencement June 3rd became a most memor-able night for the one-hundred and four seniors who were breaking ties with classmates of 12 years. Entering the flower-adorned gym, watched by parents and relatives, the graduates slowly and proudly took their places on the stage. Mr. Goebel Patton spoke humorously and interestingly about the accomplishments of the class, of their future, and of their “obligations” to the past. Sentimental recollections of exciting or amusing experiences and memorable events raced through the minds of the graduates and their parents, as they viewed P.C.H.S. for the last time as active participants. Below: A diploma is handed to Bill Hansen by Board President Lee Carlson. 28 One of the purposes of the Student Council is to promote the spirit of participation in every student. During the spring months of 1966, the Student Council organized such events as Fun Nite, Student Take-Over Day, and Domestic Exchange. The annual A.F.S. Ban- quet and the Mr. “D” Benefit Concert proved to be big successes. When school re-opened in the fall, the new Council was on hand to conduct the Freshman Orientation program. One of the biggest projects was the planning and supervising of the annual Homecoming activities.

In the agriculture wing of the school is a glass-enclosed bulletin board, a memorial to the late Mr. Ray W. Foster, local farmer and member of the Board of Education. The attractive trophy case in the front lobby, a memorial to the late Stanley Marshall, was purchased from a Memorial Fund established by the Class of 1965. A beautiful oil portrait of Mr. O. J. Bainum, a former teacher and Superintendent of Schools in Paxton, now hangs in the southwest corner of the library where a special section was officially dedicated to him in November 1966. Foreign exchange student Petra van Kampen (1964-65) left an authentic doll from her native Holland as a reminder of her Top: Maude Gracen directory in the front lobby; Bulletin board in memory of Ray Foster.

During the 1965-66 school year, a Scholarship Fund was established in memory of the late Mr. Louis Dallagicomo, a faculty member. The first scholarship was awarded in 1966 (see page 27) and three more scholarships will be given. As a memorial to the late Edwin Peterson, the Class of 1967 purchased an Illinois State Flag for the main lobby. A handsome wood carving was left by Suchja Sastra-adiwinata, foreign exchange student from Indonesia during the 1962-63 school year. In the spring of 1966, Miss Irene Bear, a former Paxton High teacher, donated a large collection of books to the school library. The Class of 1963, in memory of the late Steve Lierly, presented a plaque to be placed in the high school office. The very colorful and impressive A.F.S. display in the Little Assembly room was another project made possible through the Stan Marshall Memorial Fund (Class of ’65). Foreign flags and studio portraits of all the foreign exchange students and “Americans Abroad” participants are on exhibit. 31 PARTICIPATING Coaches Managers Coaches: Mr. Davidson—Track, Soph.

One of the highlights of the basketball season was P.C.H.S.’ third place finish in the Octavia Holiday Tournament. The Mustangs reached the semi-finals by upsetting highly favored St. Joseph-Ogden, then lost a heartbreaker to Bellflower in an overtime. In the consolation game the Mustangs defeated Gibson City for the trophy. The sophomores received a third place trophy in the Cissna Park tournament.

The team played well, and came close to victory many times. The hard work of the players and the coaches finally paid off as they defeated Watseka, spoiling the Warriors’ Homecoming week-end. Throughout the season there were many outstanding individual performances, indicating that P.C. H.S. may look forward to a much better season next year. At the Varsity Football Banquet a dozen underclassmen received letters. With the returning lettermen and the addition of the sophomores, next year should prove to be a very interesting one. 41 Varsity Basketball After a slow start, the Varsity squad went wild the last half of the regular season, winning eight of their last nine games. The team, coached by Larry Smith, showed a lot of hustle, the will to win, and the desire to remain on top. They extended their record to 12-9 before the start of the Regional Tourna-ment. In the Octavia Holiday Tournament the squad beat Gibson City, to win third place, after losing to Bellflower in a semi-final overtime game. The Mustangs placed third in the Wauseca Conference, with Lonnie Bauer named to the Wauseca All-Conference Team. Jim Fox and John Reep were awarded honorable mentions on the Conference team. Congratulations go to Coach Smith and his cagers for a fine season, and for continuing to keep Paxton’s tradition of winning basketball teamsl 42 h'ront Kmc: Kick Schimanski, Randy Peterson, Dana Stark, Bob Peterson, Randy Burklund, Steve Coplea.

Varsity Track Track is a sport in which an individual works alone in his own event, for the benefit of a whole team. This sport rakes little team effort, but a great deal of individual exertion and a strong competitive spirit. The highlight of the ’66 season was the second-place finish of P.C. H.S. in the Ford County Invitation- al Meet. Throughout the meets every participant did his best, and gave a good account of his skills. To excel in any track event takes hours of faithful practice, a determined attitude, and some natural talent for the particular event. Hard work plus determination is the formula for a successful track season, and Paxton has learned it well. 43 Sophomore Football The Sophomore football team finished with only a 1-7 record, but showed some promise of developing into a winner toward the end of the season.

The Mustangs were held scoreless five times, including the last three games, which showed an obvious lack of a potent offense. In the last five games, starting with the win over Mahomet, the Sophomores exhibited a fairly strong defense, however. This factor, if developed with hard work and determination, will be the key to winning seasons in the future.

Sophomore Basketball Freshman- Sophomore Track The Freshman-Sophomore track team had three meets last year. Besides losing a dual meet with Gibson City, the Mustangs also participated in invitationals at Ran-toul and Watseka. The freshmen and sophomores also took part in varsity meets throughout the season. Highlights of the freshman-sophomore track season were a first in the shot-put at Rantoul and a second in the same event at Wat-seka by Rich Thomas, and a fourth in the 880-yard dash by Tony Lewis. Thomas also finished second in the shot-put in the Ford County varsity meet, and third in discus at a varsity meet in Mattoon. 46 Front Row: Jim Joyce, Duane Seim.

The freshmen had a successful season, with a record of four wins and two losses. The yearlings, under the direction of Mr. Young who was in his first year of coaching, learned a lot of football and had a good time doing it. Due to the small number of sophomores out for football, eight freshmen dressed for the Sophomore team. Hustle, desire, and an eagerness to win, plus a willingness to work hard, as evinced by the freshmen, should provide the Varsity with some strong material in the next few years.

They were victorious at this encounter, and again later in the year at Hoopeston. Even though their record consisted of two wins and ten losses, the twenty players put forth one hundred percent effort. The team’s many hours of practice and hard work ought to pay off in the future.

Working with Danish hoops and making up original routines, tackling the balance beam, modern dancing, track and field events, and physical fitness tests were as challenging for the girls as boxing and wrestling were for the boys. Both boys and girls participated in square dancing, using the trampoline, tumbling, baseball, volleyball, basketball, and bombardment. This year a weight-lifting class was organized. Under the supervision of Mr. Beenenga, the boys in this class practiced and then tested their ability to lift weights. During ’67 Paxton High has carried through the physical fitness program as requested by the President of the United States.

The Student'Faculty Board is composed of one representative from each of the four classes, two members of the Student Council, five faculty members chosen at large by the faculty, and the Student Council advisor. The main function of the Board is to act as a liason between the students, the faculty, and the administration to promote better school morale. At each class meeting, the representa-tives from the Student - Faculty Board give a report on the business that has been discussed in the past meetings, so that the student body is informed on the current problems and their solutions. Each problem appearing before the Board is approached by both students and faculty with a sincere desire to resolve it in the best interests of all those concerned. Each member is permitted to give his point of view on the subject being discussed, without feeling that his opinion will be held against him. Freedom of speech is one of our most precious “rights”, and it is freely exercised at the meetings of the Board. Student Faculty Board 57 A. F. S. Mr. ' D Committees The American Field Service Committee helps bring foreign exchange students to Paxton High. With the aid of the Student Council, they sponsor fund-raising events to finance a foreign exchange student each year. This committee truly feels it is fostering the spirit of world brotherhood by his efforts. The Mr. “D” Memorial Committee was formed last year to provide a scholarship fund in memory of Louis Dallagicomo, a P.C.H.S. teacher fatally injured in an auto accident in July, 1965. Four one-year scholarships will be given to graduating seniors who have been accepted by a college. Last year’s recipient was Mike Maxey, attending Wabash Valley College. This committee is justly proud of a letter received from President Johnson, recognizing their efforts. Top: A.F.S.

Under the guidance of Miss Sandra Newman, a formal initiation of Thespians was held at an assem-ly last September. In October of 1966, Mrs. Julie Potter replaced Miss Newman as speech teacher and as sponsor of the Thespians. On February 11, six contestants participated in a total of eight categories at Speech Contest, and four of the contestants went on to Sectional competition. The presentation of skits for the Homecoming pep rally and the Variety Show, and the production of a one-act play were just a few of the Thespian’s dramatic activities.

The F.H.A. held two initiations for new members—the first in September, and a formal one in November. With the F.F.A., they sponsored a pork barbecue. They also enjoyed a caroling party with the boys. Daddy Date Night and Family Night, with our A.F.S. student as speaker, were entertaining, yet provided an opportunity for the girls to show their abilities. All these activities, together with a club trip and a Mothers’ Style Show in April, meant a very busy year.

The Latin Club also entered a prize winning float in the ’66 Homecoming Parade. In addition, the members take part in activities and projects which time prevents from being a part of class activities. To the theme of “A Salute To Minerva”, the Latin Club members feasted at the Roman Banquet on April 15, 1967. As the main social Reflector Below: The Reflector and the Blue Cold staff members ate, and ate, and ate . . . at their Xmas party.

Last year’s ’65-’66 yearbook received first place honors in makeup, design, and general excellence. The staff of the ’67 Reflector has accepted the challenge to surpass all previous efforts, to make this yearbook an even more reflective view of the spirit of P.C.H.S. Anyone who has never worked on a yearbook staff has no idea of the time and effort required to tell accurately the story of an educational institution; the administration and faculty who give it direction, and the student body which gives it character and flavor ... all must be developed in the pages of pictures and prose. The staff hopes that this Reflector has truly captured the Spirit of ’67. 86 Imagination, intelligence, toler-ance: these constitute the spirit of the Blue and Gold. In this spirit the staff produced six very fine issues. By employing some of the ideas from last year’s features, such as “Unhappiness Is ” and “Coaches’ Corner”, and by developing new columns, editorials, and features, this year’s Blue and Gold staff has improved the content of the paper. Students were kept well-informed by a wide variety of subject matter: sports events, contest results, school elections, honors, and student activities. Original student compositions also contributed to the effectiveness of the paper. Blue Gold Above : The ’65-’66 editors, Pat DeMuth and Steve Fox, pass out their last issue of the Blue Gold.

To achieve a true spirit of scholarship is the goal of the National Honor Society. Membership in this organization, which stresses high character, leadership, honor, service, and of course scholarship, has long been recognized as one of the highest honors a student at Paxton High School can receive. National Honor Society 89 TEACHING English and Foreign Language A wide assortment of interesting materials and modern equipment have been added to the English and Language Department this year. New text books were purchased, condensed S.R.A. courses in granv mar and writing were offered, and each classroom was equipped with an overhead projector. The new developmental reading laboratory was put into operation during the second semester. Special classes to help those students wishing to improve their reading skills were taught by Mrs. Swanson. A tacho-matic projector used filmstrips to increase student reading and comprehension rates. Shadowscopes enabled each individual to boost the reading rate on his own. Top: S.R.A, unit on paragraphs is introduced to Mr. Stewart’s class; Bottom: P.C.H.S.’ new reading lab. Katherine I’odcn Archie S. Stewart Phyllis Hutchins Sandra Kay Vanderby 92 Julie Potter As our government, laws, literature, language, and arts are affected by peoples of other cultures, the Foreign Language Department endeavors to make its students aware of the influences of all cultures. A Roman Banquet allows Latin students to step briefly into the role of a Roman. A French Banquet provides Modern Language students with an acquaintanceship with customs, foods, and manners peculiar to the Romance language countries. A language laboratory is in use every period of the day. Here students may record, practice, or simply listen, using tapes and records. Aural proficiency is improved by the use of film sound tracks, tapes, and books. Comprehension is in-reased by additional reading and reports, writing, and listening. Utilization of these facilities results in increased aural-oral proficiency. Left: John Swengel digs into an issue during speech class; Rif!lit: French students are busy with their pronounciation lessons. Charles M. Condit James German This year students in the Mathematics Department are doing their lessons with new interest. The upgrading in teaching methods is adding more of a challenge, and new facilities make it easier to attract the interest of the student. The new approach is to present mathematics as a unified body of knowledge, to make the student more aware of the importance of math in the modern world. Inductive reasoning, as it is applied to problems, is used so that a forgotten rule can be re-discovered by using principles that have been learned. Mr. German, Mr. Condit, and Miss Vanderby feel this upgrading has been helpful. Right Tof : Mr. German supervises his math class, working at the board; Bottom: Mr. Condit helps a troubled f reshman. Mathematics 94 V. Jean Lukens George Young Gerald Zimmerman Left: Mr. Zimmerman looks at some specimens with his students; Right: Some Physics experiments are fun. “Hey, Mr. Zimmerman, what happens if you cut all the way through ...” “But Mr. Young, I thought the other half of the test was today and ...” “Say, Mrs. Lukens, remember that eudiometer tube you told us not to touch?” “But I didn’t even realize the Bun-sen burner was lit when ...” So goes another typical day for the members of our science staff. Even though we have much newer and more improved equipment than in the past, the usual student goofs are still common, and the breakage rates have certainly not lowered. Due to the effective teaching methods of the Science Department, the students are learning much about biological, physical, and chemical sciences, even though they occasionally forget to follow correct lab procedures. Manning the biology section of the department are Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Young, while Mrs. Lukens handles the physical science, chemistry, and physics sections. Science 95 Lcland Hasselbring The Business Department has expanded to provide its students with a better and more modern program of business education. Un-der the direction of Miss Ragland and Mr. Hasselbring, the students are learning to do many of the things which they will be expected to do in a business field. New Business Law books provide up-to-date regulations and material on the subject. An overhead projector makes it easier for the classes to observe more accurately the teacher demonstrations. Secretarial Practice procedures involve new texts, new teaching methods, and more mod-ern procedures. The Business Department, like all other departments at Paxton High School, is always looking for something new to improve its curriculum, to enable P.C.H.S. to better prepare the citizens of tomorrow. Bessie V. Ragland Helow Left: Future secretaries require much practice on that dictation; Right: Mr. Hasselbring helps out a Secretarial Practice student. Business Social Studies On the teaching staff of the Social Studies Department are Mr. Kingston and Mr. Swanson. This year a field trip to the state prison at Statesville, and several lectures on various phases of law enforcement, such as the operation of the lie-detector and the use of tear gas and firearms, were added to the departmental program. Mr. Moore helps a student locate a reference for his house plan. After a year of getting settled in the new Industrial Arts Department, everyone enjoys the modern machinery and the ample space of the well-equipped shop, and the facilities of the mechanical drawing room. Besides Mr. Reeder, who teaches woodworking, metalworking, and shop, Mr. Moore is filling in this year as the mechanical drawing instructor. Mr. Rccdcr assists with plans for a metalworking project. Industrial Arts 98 Vail H. Moore James C. Reeder Ruby Graves John M. Davidson Marjorie M. Rhutasel Norman Henderson Physical Education Curriculum changes in the Physical Education Department resulted in a much sounder program of sports and physical activities for the P.E. classes this year. Below, left: Chicken-Fat” exercise in Girls’ P.E.; Bight: “Up, up, and Away-y-y.” 99 Agriculture Home Economics ‘I sure hope this works!' 100 Robert Rohlfing Frances Yancey The Agriculture Department is implementing the Vocational Education Act of 1963, providing for the continuance of training for farming, and the addition of training for those non-farm, agricultural occupations which require skills and or knowledge of agricultural subjects. In ’67 the Home Economics Department, headed by Mrs. Yancey, has had two student teachers from I.S.U., Miss Mary' Beth Stead, and Miss Rosemary Rieker. The department as a whole worked toward developing principles and practices that will help the girls to build a healthier and happier home life. Kenneth G. Bccnenga Under the watchful supervision of Mr. Smith, Driver Education students drove two different training cars this year. Hari Motor Sales supplied a car with an automatic transmission, and one with a standard shift. The Inter-related Cooperative Education program has been expanded to include a full-time coordinator, Mr. Beenenga. More students may now take advantage of the opportunity to train away from school, under this program. Right, Top: Paxton High is taught the dangers of speeding. Hollow: I.C.E. sponsored sock hop; the crowd enjoyed themselves. Larry E. Smith Driver Education . C. E. 101 Art Music In September of ’66 the Art Department presented to the school the large mosaic mural which hangs in the south stairwell. This student project was completed last year under the direction of Mrs. Mc-Cament. This year the art classes, taught by Mrs. Craft, have tried many new projects; enameling, cartooning, lettering, weaving, and making original Christmas decorations, to be hung in the cafeteria during the holidays. A lettering project occupies the art class. Donna J. Craft Left: The chorus practices under direction of Mrs. Absher; Right: Mr. Hart conducts band practice. The Music Departments project this year was a Spring Variety Show. Dances, songs, and group skits were highlights of this entertainment. The band and chorus presented programs at area schools again, and some members participated in solo and ensemble competition at contest time. Because Miss Sperry (Absher) was married at Christmas and joined her husband, Miss Weller took over her position in January. Guidance Library Top: Students may use the library for reference work, or for reading. Bottom: College plans are under the supervision of the Guidance Department. The Guidance Department has been busy arranging scholarships for many graduating P.C.H.S. students, yet this is only a small part of their job. Both Mr. Douglas and Mrs. Fiorillo are involved in counseling students and helping them prepare for future careers. This year the department has sponsored a column in the Blue and Cold called “Guidelines”, which contained tips on studying, choosing subjects for next year, etc. The guidance bulletin board carries a map of Illinois, showing where members of the class of ’67 will be attending school next year. New to the library this year is a portrait of O. J. Bainum, a past superintendent of Paxton schools, which hangs in the area designated as the “Bainum Corner”. Gifts left by former foreign exchange students are also displayed on the tops of the shelves in this area. Language tapes are available in the library, so students may improve their language fluency. The student book store is a very popular place for those wishing to buy paperbacks. The library has also added two record tables, for students wishing to listen to foreign language or musical recordings. N. Stanley Douglas Margaret A. Fiorillo James E. Griggs 103 Mr. Charles C. Newman Administration Mr. Charles C. Newman has been Superintendent of Paxton Schools for twelve years, and Mr. Thompson Shields has been principal of P.C.H.S. for seventeen years. Admittedly, neither man has an easy job, but certainly this year was a somewhat easier one, for everyone was well acquainted with the new school and its eccentricities. This year the P.C.H.S. administration placed new emphasis on several curriculums. The developmental reading program received special attention. A reading lab, for which a teacher was employed the second semester, was established to help students increase their reading speed and comprehension. Increased attention was also given to Vocational Education. The expansion of the Inter-related Cooperative Education program, by the addition of a full-time coordinator, has given the program better management, and has created a great interest, among the students, in supervised framing away from school. Mr. Thompson Shields 104 Board of Education Seated: Mr. Richard Anderson; Dr. Glen Calhoun. Secretary; Mr. Lee Raymond Carlson, President; Mr. Wendell Siddens. Standing: Mr. Elwood Stagcn; Mr. Ray Wilson; Mr. Ralph Schimanski. The dedication of all of its members to the many phases of school affairs is imperative to the successful operation of a school board. The seven men elected to the Paxton Board of Education are responsible for the smooth and efficient operation of the schools in Paxton Unit District 2. With so much to do, it is not uncommon for Board meetings to last until midnight, several rimes a month. Since the Board governs all phases of school management, they must determine policies, set wages, review curricula, approve budgets, hire faculty and staff members, and provide for the maintenance and improvement of school facilities and properties. In addition, the Board of Education must keep abreast of all the latest regulations, on both state and national levels, on all matters pertaining to schools. It takes dedication, certainly, to serve the community as unselfishly as these men do, for their job is always hard and often thankless. 10T5 Norma Elmore, Guidance Dept.

Four years later, that same group, a little smaller in number, struggles through the quagmire of “Senior Slump”. This class, how-ever, has earned its right to a long “Senior Slump” and a riotous “Senior Slop Day”, rewards for their four years of hard work. The first real success for the Class of ’67 was the tremendous job they did on “Southern Splendor”, the Junior-Senior Prom. The second foot-stomping accomplishment was their graduation from the “Ivy Halls” of P.C.H.S. in the school colors—blue and gold. This class, noteworthy for its inventive approach to new ways of influencing teachers, were the loudest voices raised in protest during the “Great Snow” of ’67 . . . favoring dismissal from school. What class was able to more effectively start rumors that “School will be dismissed at 1:30 today”? Who ever created a more “lively” and “deadly” literary giant than Joyce Becker? The Class of ’67 will not soon be forgotten. Although they griped a lot, when they were handed those diplomas which severed their relations with P.C.H.S., they all remembered that there had been many good times. Thus one more class leaves Paxton High, and nearly a hundred about-to-become adults are launched into a new life. 110 OFFICERS Standing: Randy Maxey, Vice-President; Dan Coplea, Student Council Representative; Rodger l.ubbcn, Student Council Representative.

Senior Activities 133 Junior Class 134 Class rings, plans for Prom, senior schedules, ACT tests, think' ing about prospective colleges, and mischievous little capers ... all these contribute to filling the times and the minds of the Junior class. Naturally the main goal for the year was the planning and financ-ing of a most unique Prom, with the rheme of “Arabian Nights’ . It was for this that all proceeds of the bake sales, the profits from the well-acted and hilarious class play, “Time Out for Ginger”, and all OFFICERS Standing; Dave Swanson, Student Council Representative; Dave Griswold, Vice-President, and Student - Faculty Hoard Representative; Rick Scliiman-ski, President.

The holiday dance, “Christmas at Twilight”, with a wintery setting complete with a sleigh, trees twinkling with lights and tinsel, and murals of townhouses, had all the charm and poignancy of the season. Of course the class also took first place in the Homecoming float contest for the third time, and produced Marcia Hill as their A.F.S. nominee. The class of ’68, in their third year, has already proven to be an influential as well as a fun-loving class. They have played an important part in sports, as well as in student government. Let’s not forget that they also served their senior counterparts well in many teacher-harrassing stunts, even devising a few tricks of their own. Prediction—The Class of ’68 will really accomplish a lot, but give their teachers and the administrators enough of a hard time during Senior Slump next year to make themselves noticed.

Juniors Homework” and Homecoming” are synonomous for some Juniors. 141 Sophomore Class “Two down and two to go” . . . this is a phrase befitting the Sophomore class, which will have the unique distinction of being the first class to have spent all four years in the new high school. They, indeed, will be the first full-fledged “veterans” of the new P.C.H.S., and it is to them and their successors that this new home will really belong. Although the Class of ’69 has only had two years to begin “leaving its mark”, it has made a good start and seems to have come a long way from those blunders of the Freshman year. After a disheartening fourth place float in ’66, the gang really buckled down this year and produced a winning second place float. The Sophomore basketball team was especially victorious, sporting a 16-5 record, and capturing third place in the Cissna Park Sophomore Invitational Tournament. Their fine football season also promises material which will contribute substantially to a fighting Mustang team for next year. In two years the ’69 Class will be able to look back to see just how successful the “two to go” have been for them. 142 OFFICERS Standing: Janice Shumate, Secretary; Greg Douglas, Student Council Representative; Rick Vaughn, President; Wendy Workman, Student - Faculty Hoard Representative.

And where on earth is Lake Newman?” These are just a few things the Freshmen didn’t learn in their day-long orientation for P.C.H.S., of which they were soon to be informed by their distinguished upperclassmen. In addition to being uninformed about such standard terms, these confused people were victimized by wrong directions accidental ly-on-purposely given by seniors were conscientiously late for class, and were generally confused by the whole system. But fear not, even though it took a while, the Class of 70 finally managed to learn which end of the school contained the gym, where the cafeteria was, and how to open lockers. Having become completely oriented, the Freshman class was well on its way to making history, as it proved to be ‘‘pretty good” in several ways. Sportswise, the Freshman boys made the coaches sit up and take notice of the promising football, basketball, and track material they presented. Looking at them artistically, their float won only a fourth, but it revealed cooperation and provided them with a good time while it was being constructed. Ingenuity is a good adjective to describe the class as they “set the stage” for a refreshingly different spring dance, complete with “Marryin’ Sam” and his jug of spirits, in honor of Sadie Hawkins Day. Yes, even though the Class of 70 had a confused start, they appear to have as much, if not more, promise than many previous classes at P.C.H.S. 150 OFFICERS Standing: Kenny Rinkenberger, Student Council Representative; Greg Anderson, Vice-President; Jim Rasmus, Student-Faculty Hoard Representative.
