To help make this decision a reality, Mrs. Louise Veatch was hired to teach the course. Each year for ten years she greeted new students and gave them their first introduction to that ancient language. What student does not remember “Caesar dictatur,” or the Roman Banquet, or singing “Tinniat, tinniat . . .”? Although she retired from teaching last year, we shall always remember Mrs. Veatch’s kind ways, her always available help and ready smile. It is to her we wish to dedicate this 1971 REFLECTOR. . . . and the Band played on. Right: Tony—top notch aviator Far right: What now? 4 5 'Point of order!' Shoron turns on Homecoming crowd.

Right: A freshman's first day, Highlights In the mural of life certain memorable events are highlighted: stuffing roll after roll of toilet paper into chicken wire, all the Christmas parties, play practice, that first formal dress, and the last days of high school ... all highlights. Baseball To the enthusiastic approval of most Paxtonites, baseball has returned. Unfortunately, for several years Paxton has been without this summer sport. Paxton, Rantoul, and Gibson City formed the beginning of a conference, with the hope of adding Watseka and Hoopeston next year. Returning lettermen, growth in the size of the conference, and an increasing interest promise a great '71 season. Intermural baseball is revived in 69-70. Freshmen woes. Opening Day August 31.

This was the beginning of what has proved to be an important year in the mural of high school life. This is Mustang Country. The Martinson Memorial is established. 11 Foreign Exchange Student Maria Castrillon, after graduating vrom high school in Popyan, Colombia, came to Paxton. When asked what she likes, Maria replies, “Everything!”, but watching her first football game was most exciting. She has special interest in architecture which she plans to study when she starts college in the latter part of August. The university she will attend is located in her country’s capitol, Bogota. Maria leaves us in July...........we hope she has enjoyed her stay in Paxton as much as we have enjoyed having her with us. Left: Even Foreign Exchange Students wash dishes.

American Field Service The American Field Service program provides an opportunity for an American student to spend one year abroad. Mark Mullinax, the third AFS’r from Paxton, was selected to spend the ’70-71 school year in Weinheim, Germany. Leaving Paxton in August, Mark first took a two-week cram course on the German language before beginning his life as a representative. Mark has reported on his activities often, giving each Paxtonite a feeling of experiencing the German way of life with him.

Homecoming Dance “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” In reply to this question the student body elected Sharon Sanders to reign as this year’s Homecoming Queen for the game and the traditional dance. Escorted by cocaptains Dan Swan and Tony Lee, Sharon’s coronation brought the dance to a beautiful close. The Living End, a band from Decatur, provided the music to which the couples enjoyed dancing.

Sharon’s court consisted of Paula Smith, Donna Johnson, and Pam Glazik. Each was escorted to the dance by a member of the Paxton tootball team. Carrying Sharon’s crown, to the tune of “Love is Blue”, were Patty Lee and Rod Shilts. Cameras flashed often, catching glimpses oi bright smiles and starry eyes. Queen Sharon and her court added the special feeling of elegance, and even a touch of magic to the evening. The queen and her court Queen Sharon 17 Fall Play The climax of five weeks of nerve-wracking rehearsal arrived on November 20 and 21, with the two performances of “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” It was a hilarious comedy concerning two teenage girls on their way to Paris, France. Both girls found friends of the opposite sex to help them through their numerous adventures. Adding to their problems were everything from measles to murder. After spending a summer in France, suffering through bedbugs and window-washers, Cornelia Skinner and Emily Kimbrough finally leave for home with the feeling of a summer well spent.

Christmas 20 With the strains of “tinniat, tinniat . . floating through the corridors, Christmas arrived at PCHS. Holiday festivities marked the occasion in many classrooms. The hall decorating contest was again sponsored by the Student Council, resulting in the juniors winning first prize with an “Old-Fashioned Christmas.” Adding to the spirit of the season was Hansel and Gretel”, a Christmas play which was performed by the Thespians for the elementary students and the public. Senior Class Play ORESTES, an ancient Greek tragedy by Euripedes, was a play who’s theme parallels the rebellion of today's youth and generation gap. The class of '70, assistant director Cindy Pool, and Mr. Dan Bruneau did an exciting modern interpretation of the play. Backdrops, based upon controversial issues of our time, were done by members of the senior class. The Forgotten Brotherhood provided background music and accompaniment to Sharon’s Maul-ding's solos, Easy to Be Hard and Let It Be. The story takes place in the city of Argos in 408 B.C. Orestes and Electro are put on trial for the murder of their mother and her lover, and are sentenced to death by the townspeople. The play was a challenge for the cast members and a thought-provoking experience for the audience. 22 Top left: Sharon mourns. Qirls) in the band. Center: Dennis in a rage.

District Speech Contest winners Don, Sandy, and Gary. Speech Music Contest The districi speech contest was held at Urbana this year, the sectional at Bloomington and the finals at Illinois State University. Besides many readings, the play “The Pink Dress” was cast. In the music department the choral segment involved seven soloists, a boys' ensemble, two girls’ trios. two girls’ sextets and a mixed ensemble. The concert band went to contest as did the stage band. At the Oaklawn jazz festival the stage band placed first in Class B, and point-wise they rank in the top 8% of the state. They all did well and should be commended.

Student directors are another tradition of the Spring Concert. In keeping with this. Max Guthrie conducted the Concert Band in a Sousa march entitled “Billboard.” Wally Sand-hagen also took a turn at conducting. The vocal music department took over the middle part of the concert, singing songs from serious chamber music to happy-go-lucky show tunes. The concert ended with charts played by the Jazz Band. To all who participated and to those who came to listen, the Spring Concert was a great success and a fine tribute to the seniors of 1970. Top: Mr. “V and the Stage Band.

Awards were given for musical, athletic, and scholastic achievement. In addition, musical numbers were presented by the Chamber Choir and the Stage Band. By the end of the assembly, the memories of the previous four years had been brought to life again, for every senior class relives its memories on Class Day. Left: One for you . . .

Baccalaureate, the “dress rehearsal” for Commencement, was held on Sunday, May 31. “Education Is Not Enough” was the topic of Reverend George Duni-vent, speaker for the ceremony. Ruled by tradition, the 1970 service included the distribution of a red rose to each mother of a graduating senior, the custom- Rev. Chellburg speaks. Baccalaureate ary “Pomp and Circumstance”, and a selection by the Girls’ Chorus. The processional was led by the two junior marshals, Gwenn Selby and Jeff Fairchild, who were ranked at the head of their class academically.

Beginning tonight I’m really on my way ... It all went too fast . . . Remember the times the dismissal bell rang early—only in the Little Assembly . . . There were so many things left to do!” The four years of high school seem to move so slowly as they pass, but when the final moment comes, every graduating senior wonders where the days went, what he did with his time . . . and regrets the things he had plenty of time to finish—and never did. On June 3, the Class of 1970 received their diplomas and marched out to the tune of Proud Heritage, ready to face a new experience.

School life is competitive, and athletics brings this competition into focus on an athletic field, a track, or in a P.E. class. A spirited crowd, a long-awaited victory, a successful turntable on the trampoline, or an intramural championship are all a part of the mural of school life. Each brings some personal disappointments, but much self-satisfaction. Coaches Managers Front Row: Marshall Grant, George Young, Norman Henderson.

At the close of each season, all who have participated in a sport or sports attend a banquet given in honor of their achievements. Letters are awarded and titles, such as honorary captain, are announced. It is a great honor to receive one of these awards, for they represent not only superior athletic prowess, but also good sportsmanship and the ability to work together with one’s teammates.

Sporting a 13-7 record, the team fielded second place in the new Wauseca Baseball Conference. The players, who were working together for the first time, showed a natural potential for team work. Recognition was not only given to the team effort, but for individuals’ high statistical records. The '70 season showed the other Wauseca teams the type of stiff competition they’ll be up against when facing the Mustangs next year.

With shoulder pads, helmets, and other appropriate paraphe-nalia, the Paxton Mustangs repeatedly charged onto the playing field to meet their oppositions. In spite of many injuries, both brief and prolonged, incurred during the season, the Mustangs managed an impressive 5-3 overall season record. With a balanced 3-3 Wauseca mark, the Varsity Football team placed third in conference play, behind Rantoul and Wat-seka respectively. Under the guidance of Coach Norm Henderson, each player displayed an amazingly sincere dedication toward their team, the coach, and the school itself. With many experienced lettermen returning, next year’s varsity team promises a rewarding future in football. 40 Varsity Basketball This year’s Varsity team lacked the height of previous years— the tallest boy being 6’1 . There were three returning lettermen this year-. Rick Carden, Mark Guthrie, and Larry Rolle. The team possessed quickness and used this to compensate for their smallness by using the running game. This, along with the usual pressing game of the Mustangs, made for a fast-moving contest which provided many exciting moments for everyone. The year was highlighted by a second place in the Turkey Tourney at Bloomington, a non-conference triumph over the Sages of Mon-ticello, and a decisive cream-job of the Rantoul Eagles.

These boys worked hard to hold this undefeated record by scoring 140 total points, allowing a small 1 8 points to be scored against them. The outstanding game of the season came when they beat Rantoul. In the years Coach Young has been here, this squad has been the only squad to defeat Rantoul. Having more than the usual one or two boys out for a position. Coach Young allowed each boy to play and gain good experience, for the years ahead. If all these boys continue the fine playing they have displayed this year, we can look forward to another successful varsity squad.

Coach Grant has proven that sophomores have the ability to win. Although the team lacks height, it has made up for this by the newly acquired or repolished skills and tactics. It is to this team that we look for material to insure the reputation of next year’s Varsity Basketball squad. Front Row: Rod Swan, Mark Grant, Dave Steiner, Mitch Nuss, Jim Niewold.

Through the usual mistakes and blunders of a freshman team, real potential could be seen. Coach Young said that although the team had a fine season, next year when they become the junior varsity is when their real strength will show up. Along with this past year’s experience, the junior varsity should go a long way. With this fine freshman team, Paxton’s future football career is made even more predictable.

In 1970 Eric Baquero lettered in golf and also won second in the District Golf Tournament. He is the only man in Paxton's history of golf to go to the state tournament. The golf team, consisting of twelve members, has braved wind, weather, sand traps, and trees to make a good record for the annals of Paxton High. Although participation in the golf team is relatively small, interest has grown. Coach Henderson’s fine team is up to par. 45 Kneeling: Alan Scales, Geno Herges, Stan Cole, Dave Niccum, Rick Kuester.

There goes one of the Varsity Track boys. Track is one of Paxton's sports gathering more and more interest from spectators as well as participants. This year the Mustangs showed great ability. The shot-put is thrown by some of our stronger athletes. Spectators had better duck when the discus event comes up, and get out of the way for pole vaulting. Relays which are suspenseful are the 880 relay, mile relay, and the Frosh-Soph relay. John Guthrie broke the high hurdle record. These boys are all to be commended for their interest in athletics and the practice they put in to become good in their events. 46 Cross Country Team Puffing and panting, the cross country team sprints in to the finish line. The course is 2.44 miles, and it takes endurance and stability to come in in first place. Few people realize the time these boys spend practicing, but the cross country team ran approximately 2000 miles total during the summer and fall of 1970. Richard Arnold and John Pacey were the first runners to attend a sectional meet from Paxton’s Cross Country program, now in its second year. See Richard run.

Everyone can’t be an athlete, but physical education gives students a chance to show off their “hidden talents,” like doing complicated backward rolls or breaking both legs on the “safe” vaulting box. Among the complaints heard year-round are those about the cold locker rooms, sore muscles, and murder ball wounds. For those people who don’t get their fill of physical activity during P.E., i ntramural games are an extra chance for competition. The girls played volleyball and basketball during their “secret session”, while the guys performed before the student body during homeroom. “Supreme” in their category was the faculty basketball team, well-known for its superb “form”. The combined PCHS physical education and intramural program provides students with a welcome break in the daily routine. The face-off! Left: The vaulting box was a new addition to tumbling.

The Varsity squad, for the second year, decided to retain their mascot. With a lot of enthusiasm, interest, and school spirit, coupled with their ability to perform stunts, the cheerleaders have be- come an important asset at each game. Credil must also be given to the Junior Varsity squad who begin to set the mood of the evening, prior to the Varsity game. The Freshmen cheerleaders faithfully cheer at their games, well-attended or not. All squads display loyalty and good sportsmanship, in defeat and in victory. Mustang cheerleaders.

The clubs and organizations of PCHS bring these individuals together to share a common interest. Working together to earn money for a project, getting that first part in a play, seeing one’s article in print, or finally earning enough points to become a full-fledged member are all a fun-filled and sometimes an exasperating part of life's mural.

Concert Choir 58 Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday these boys and girls sing during the ninth hour class period. Preparing for concerts and dedicated work toward improvement makes them a devoted bunch of kids. During class everything is serious. Learning the finer aspects of singing and what gives a song the finished touch is their main objective. However, between songs and before and after class things aren’t so sedate. Sopranos carry the melody. Girl's Chorus Everything from contemporary music to folk songs are sung by the forty-five young ladies who make up the PCHS Girls' Chorus. In meeting three times a week, they are not only learning to sing harmoniously but are also given instructions as to proper breathing, etc. which aids in singing. These girls have participated in the choral concerts and the Baccalaureate service.

Service is an important factor in the activities of NHS. By sponsoring suppers and bake sales, members raise money for scholarship: to be given to deserving seniors on Class Day. Induction of NHS members took place on February 18.

Neither has the responsibility and dedication which bind these representatives together as the voice of the students. Its interests and concerns have expanded to include both the students’ wants and needs. This year at Paxton the student council has organized and taken part in a nation-wide Heart Fund Drive.

The Student-Faculty Board is a group of students and faculty members working as a unit. This group discusses the problems that arise in the school but has no authority to do anything about the problems. Any recommendations it makes are given careful consideration by the school administration. The Board this year has discussed the prob- lems of abolishing the grade approval for class officers, whether girls should wear slacks to school, and candy sales. The Student-Faculty Board has no yearly program but is dedicated to improving school morale.

Besides writing copy and captions, they are known to jump up nervously in the middle of an assembly to take pictures.

Their Christmas play, Hansel Gretel, was given as a Saturday afternoon matinee in December for younger children. On the following Monday the cast and crew “hit the road,” giving four performances in one day. By 3:30, they returned to school exhausted.

Science Club Science Club provides an opportunity for those students in chemistry or physics to get involved in projects not required in the classroom. The Science Club s goal was to raise money to buy equipment for the science labs, and to sponsor a Science Fair, featuring many individual projects from Paxton elementary, Junior and Senior high school students. Many field trips were planned to help the students become acquainted with job opportunities available for those who wish to continue in the science field. 71 Girls' Athletic Association Dear Reflector, As I sit here on the bus for one of GAA’s special outings, I think back on all thai GAA has accomplished. Since we are an athletic organization, we have set up Thursdays after school for our activity nighl. Under our new sponsor, we started activities outside; baseball, tennis, and even football. Later, indoors, we played basketball or volleyball. Then our bowling teams got together for competition. (The winning team was treated to a dinner by the sponsor.) Tumbling and trampoline were held, alternating with bowling, during the basketball season. The spring brings warmer weather, and sports outside again. GAA plans a special night once a month, and always there is a good turnout. Running through most of the year, it was: A picnic (weiner roast) in September; October, Mom’s Night; November, Walk for Mankind. (We walked as much as ten miles to earn money to send medical supplies to different countries. This was the first time this year that a club has raised money for something other than itself.) January, skiing; February, swimming; March, Daddy-Date Night. New members received their pins on Feb. 11, 1971; officers are installed and awards given in the spring. All in all, GAA has quite a good time, and this letter hasn’t even begun to relate half of the fun. The aroup is nothing to laugh at, but something to laugh with.

Future Farmers of America The Paxton chapter of the Future Farmers of America, chartered in 1929, currently holds a rating as one of the best chapters in the state, and in the nation. The local group has again received many awards during the past year, due in part to the help it gets from the school and the community. At the State FFA Convention in Champaign last June, it received the first place award for American Heritage and was awarded seventh in cooperative activities. At the National Convention held at Kansas City, Missouri, in the fall, the chapter was awarded the silver emblem, one of only a few so designated, for its 1970 program of activities.

The highlight of the year is the Roman Banquet, held in traditional style. At the feast one can see even the most “dignified” seniors sit- ting cross-legged on the floor, dressed in togas, and eating with their fingers. The first year Latin students, or “slaves”, are kept busy all night serving their patrons. The Banquet brings all the Latin students closer to the days of Rome and the language they are studying.

As a money-making project, the members sold assorted combs. Part of the money made was donated to the Nursery School at the Methodist Church. The girls went caroling at Christmas time with their sponsor, Mrs. Frances Yancey. They also sponsored a chili supper to which they invited the I.C.E. members and the Future Farmers of America. The traditional chicken barbeque was held early in the year, with the FFA assisting. Future plans include donating cookies to the Bloodmobile and taking a trip in the spring.

Katherine Boden Fred Guyot Mary Beer Fun in French 88 English Foreign Language Many students confess that English is one of the more boring subjects. This year brought the abolishment of traditional English III and IV, and added many new semester courses. For both freshmen and sophomore classes, standard English is still taught. The foreign language department consists of Latin and French, taught by Mr. Rundquist and Mrs. Hutchins respectively. A common task for a Latin student might be to conjugate Fero; or to translate a story which tells of the escapades of Aeneas. Reading French literature, conversation, and learning French history is included in the French studies. “Au Revoir,” “Valete,” Farewell. Discussion was an important part of literature class.

Listening to topes in the French lab. 89 Mathematics New books, new faces, new problems; this year’s math department was full of changes. Definitely qualifying under the heading of changes were Mrs. Tucker and Mr. Hughbanks, new additions to the math faculty. Another change in the department was the breaking down of senior math into two semester courses. trigonometry and analytical geometry. The PCHS math department is designed to provide a student with a well-rounded curriculum of math courses. Regardless of his future career choice, the department prepares the student for a place in the changing world. Quadratic equations are troublesome.

Whether it be the mole concept of counting quantities in chemistry, or finding the squamosal in advanced BSCS, science is a challenge. This year the freshman and physical science courses have been replaced with elementary physics and earth science. The posterior, dorsal, and lumbar view. 91 Social Studies The Social Studies department at Paxton High has a new outlook. This is partly due to the fact that all the teachers in this department are relatively new at Paxton. For Mr. Plog and Mr. Lindholm, this is their first year; for Mr. Climer, it is his second. The Social Studies classes are trying many new methods of teaching. In American History, simulation games are being used. In Sociology, a new addition to the curriculum at Paxton High, surveys are being rotated and compared. In all classes, experimentation with independent study is going on. The Social Studies department is not only teaching the students about the past and present, but also how to deal with the future.

The agriculture classes were taught this year by Mr. Bruce Henrikson, who student-taught under Mr. Rohlfing last year. To the regular class schedule, new semester courses in ag, electronics, and small engines have been added. Ag Home Ec. Home Economics is cooking and sewing, right? Not completely. Students also learn about nutrition, economy, interior decorating, child development, and family living. Meal management and health occupations are new courses in this department. 93 Rick attempts a knee drop. 94 Although P.E. doesn't seem like a class, it is. Grades are given based on skill, whether it be serving a volleyball into a designated square, accuracy in shooting a basketball, or the number of chin-ups one can do. Volleyball, badminton, hockey, trampoline, wrestling, basketball, soccer. deck tennis, and four square were sports presented. Time was also taken to improve gymnastic abilities. As a warm-up preparatory to these activities, students groan and grumble through the daily exercises, which eventually show worthwhile results. Norman Henderson Toni Molck The tip-off. Jeri Oncken Paul Vander Gheynst Carol Walle A chip off the old block.

Industrial Arts The Industrial Arts Department, headed by Mr. Reeder and Mr. Wolfe, is an important part of the PCHS technical education program. Courses in this department range from general shop and woodworking to the more abstract subjects of mechanical drawing and electricity.

Driver Education and I. C. E. Interrelated Cooperative Education is a two-year program of apprenticeship for juniors and seniors. In it, students may work in any occupation that requires a specific training period. ICE classes also discuss labor unions, how to apply for a job, etc. The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America is their national organization. Driver’s Education is a state-approved course teaching the student what a car is and how to operate it. On completion, a certificate is issued, permitting the student to apply for a driver’s license. The student thus acquires the basic skills that enable him to master the techniques of “dragging Main.” 98 Even girls learn about a car’s mechanics in Drivers’ Ed. Mrs. Smith, Guidance secretary, and Mr. Douglas, busy with paper work. Stanley Douglas Margaret Fiorillo Guidance Library The Guidance department, consisting of Mrs. Fiorillo and Mr. Douglas, has spent the past year working to reform the guidance curriculum. With the new computerized system doing much of the programming, they are able to spend more time on projects such as the career films for homeroom periods and special classes, more scholarships for graduates, and inservice training for teachers. Of course jobs such as counseling, changing class schedules, testing, and job finding are tasks which keep them busy. The library is another section of Paxton High School in which changes are taking place. The biggest change this year was the addition of the Martinson Memorial which contains vocation filmstrips and new study guides. Also being added are over 700 books of all kinds. The Farmers-Merchant Bank has helped improve our library by donating 14 subscriptions to current magazines. Special Education Gene Kingston Left: Creating a sculpture from clay.

Studying specimens under the microscope, the faculty at a Christmas party. In the special education classroom, Mr. Kingston regularly teaches math, language arts, and social studies groups, divided according to ability levels. These students who have a special education homeroom, are integrated into regular classrooms wherever possible. They are given the same work and classroom attention as everyone else in the class. Mr. Kingston is always available for special help and tutoring in any area where they have problems. Faculty Informals This is the life?

In the mural of school life, the administration provides this authority. Working with the Board of Education, Mr. Newman, Mr. Eggleston, and Mr. Rohlfing formulate school policies. The school personnel who are always so willing to help, whether it be with a jammed locker or a cut finger, are an important part of the administration.

Board of Education 106 Paxton’s Board of Education is a member of the Illinois Association of School Boards and of the National Association of School Boards. Its seven members, elected for three year terms, are charged with the responsibility of operating the school system in accordance with the School Code of Illinois. It has complete authority over all facets of the school system, which involve looking after the physical properties, school finance, curriculum, transportation, and public relations. Meeting regularly the second Tuesday of each month during the school year, the Board also has approximately twelve additional special meetings. The men who serve on our Board of Education give of their efforts to maintain and improve our school system. They receive no salaries for the time-consuming job to which they have committed themselves. Charles C. Newman, Superintendent Superintendent It is required by state law that each school with over four teachers must employ a superintendent. In Paxton, this is Mr. Charles Newman, who acts as the chief executive and administrator for the board of education. Besides being coordinator between the board and the principals of the schools in the system, he prepares and submits the budget to the board. He also presents the school calendar and the recommendations of teachers to be hired for the board’s approval. Between board meetings, he makes decisions on school issues which come up. These are reported to the board at the next meeting. All employees of the system are responsible to him or his delegated assistant. He has the responsibility for public relations between students, staff, board of education, and the community. Mr. Newman has now successfully carried out these duties for eighteen years. 107 Principals Mr. Rohlfing has become the first assistant principal in PHS history. He has undertaken the major project of the Vocational-Technical Program, designed to give better training and preparation for the business world to those students who will not earn a college degree. Current major additions will be in the business department. Long range plans being considered will improve all segments of PCHS’s existing vocational program. Robert Rohlfing, Assistant Principal 108 Mr. Eggleston has completed his second year at Paxton. He has brought about many welcome changes in school curriculum. Many of the academic departments at PHS have wanted to add to their curricula new courses which would be beneficial and of interest to the students. Mr. Eggleston has shared the enthusiasm of the teachers, and has succeeded in accomplishing many interesting changes.

Yet in school, we blend our personalities and work as a class.Nevertheless, part of our individual personality whether it be a shy smile, an outgoing manner, or a clowning effort, will be left as a memory with our teachers and fellow students. Seniors Well, the time has come for the unpredictable class of ’71 to leave the smoke-filled restrooms of PCHS. Four long years ago we entered high school with the Great White Father and Lake Newman, and now the class of ’71 exists with Mr. Eggleston and Interstate 57. Between we have weathered six girls’ PE teachers, three Thespians’ sponsors, eight social studies teachers, three sophomore basketball coaches, six math teachers and Mr. Griggs. Our final year went fast, hiding in the VA room from Mr. Rohlfing, ringing studyhall bells early (didn’t lose the recorder either), serving detention for the social studies teachers, eating lunch in the cafeteria, and listening to Dot read from the handbook every morning. The Senior Class will leave behind the remarkable achievements of its athletic heroes, the writings of its brilliant scholars, the hip music of its groovy band members, and numerous precedents for other classes to follow. We had lots of good times and a lot of bad times, but mostly they were wild times. Many things will be said about the class of 1971, yet, as usual, we will have the last words. Goodbye PCHS, we’re on to bigger and better things. Front Row: Doug Parsons, Vice-Pres.; Gwenn Selby, Sec. Row 2: Sharon Sanders, Treas,; Tony Lee, Pres.; Donna Johnson, Rep.

Juniors Being a junior means having a driver’s license and a class ring, playing on the varsity squads, assuming an active part in membership and leadership roles in organizations, taking college tests and making career plans, sponsoring a prom, and one more year of high school. This junior class accomplished much and enjoyed all the phases of being upperclassmen. Though the juniors are not yet the leaders in the school, they showed their power by pulling to- gether as a class to come out with top honors on their Homecoming float, “Move ’em Out” and the Christmas hall decorations, “An Old-fashioned Christmas.” To earn money, the class members sold Nestle candy bars. The Christmas dance was another of their efforts. They also modified the traditional prom, with the hope that a greater number of students would have a more enjoyable evening. With the year of ’71 over, the Class of ’72 eagerly awaits its final year. Front Row: Karen Fuoss, Pres.; Jane Marshall, Rep. Row 2: Jane Volden, Rep.; Mike Moore, V. Pres.; Jane Quinlan, Rep.

Sophomores No longer “wet behind the ears” freshmen with the screaming meemies, the skiddly bee-bop, de shoop-shoop wow class of '73 distinguished themselves as sophomores. They earned recognition athletically, with an unbeaten football team and an exciting basketball season; artistically with a phantasmagoric fourth place Homecoming float and a second in Christmas hall decorating. The class excelled financially with the usual moneymaking ventures. In nervous anticipation, the class of '73 awaits the inevitable but uncertain future . . . class rings, prom, and the final bell loosing them from this sanctum-sanctorum on an unsuspecting world that awaits them!

They swarm at the sound of the closing bell, when millions of them seemingly pop out of the wood-work to infest the corridors and block the passageways. The class of ’74 is a typical freshman class, making only a ripple in the pool of PCHS. Yet they can be heard uttering the immortal battle cry of all freshmen at every high school in the country: “Wait ’till we’re seniors! Then we’ll show everybody the talent and ability of our class.” As long as the class of ’74 keeps its spirit their hopes for the future can be realized.

Advertising, whether it be a Pepsi commercial on television, a Dodge automobile on a highway billboard, or a 2 x 2Vi inch ad in our yearbook, makes the services of the business known.
