There, couples danced to music provided by an orchestra led by PHS's ex-band director, Paul Vander Gheynst. The coronation of seniors, Randy Swan and Diane Elson as king and queen, and Earl Volden and Carrie Stewart as prince and princess, highlighted the evening. As 11 o'clock drew near, couples left to attend the show at the Paxton Theatre, and the breakfast at the Lakeview Country Club. 12 Marty Nuss brings flowers to Queen Diane Elson as she and King Randy Swan reign over the '72 Prom.

Many seniors, as well as underclassmen, were honored on Class Day, May 26. New awards, in addition to the established ones, were presented to the outstanding athletes, scholars, and musicians of the Class of '72. Baccalaureate services were conducted the Sunday prior to commencement as usual. There, the graduates' mothers were given the traditional red roses. The finale of their high school careers, Commencement brought mixed emotions to the seniors. Both sadness and joy were evoked by leaving friends and teachers after an eventful four years, but the promise of a bright, inviting future overpowered the sentiment of the 1972 graduation.

PHS with Gibson City, Fisher, and Rantoul, participated in an intercooperative vocational program, in which we hosted data processing. Bachelor living, a boys' home economics course, was also introduced to the PHS curriculum.

Plays Involve Many You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was presented in April as the all-school spring play. The musical was highlighted by all the Peanuts charactors and a chorus of kiteflying, bat-swinging extras. Charlie Brown spouted his philosophies regarding happiness, peanut butter, and the little red-haired girl, as the light-hearted comedy was presented to capacity crowds on two evenings. Audience participation was key in the presentation of the all-school fall play, Reserve Two for Murder . Cast members were scattered throughout the audience, involving the spectators in the plot. A minimal amount of publicity kept the mystery-murder a secret during the weeks of practice. The suspense was thick in the air on the nights of November 10-11, as everyone was a suspect in the two murders.

Harper, starring Paul Newman, shown on December 22, kept the students on the edge of their seats, not in excitement of the chase scene, but in anticipation of the coming vacation. Several classes risked the wrath of the office by having forbidden parties in the days preceding vacation. PHS hosted the annual Holiday Tourney in which they placed third, beating Gibson City in a barnburner, 63-62.

Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me? —Carl Sandburg . . . this year was a new and different experience for the class of '76. The first week was chaos for us. Imagine every locker having its own combination! and what about those classes? We were running all over trying to find our scheduled rooms. It helped when we found out that room 211 was on the second floor! But finally we adjusted to our new life. Before we knew it. Homecoming was here. Our first Homecoming! With floats, parades, a football game, queens, and the dance . . . our amazing victory, 4th place, in the flojt contest. By then we liked High School very much ... we could take part in many activities.

The sophomore class of '72-'73 is the largest class in the high school. With their size, they carry much of the school spirit. They've competed in hall decorations, farmer skits, and pep assemblies. They placed first in the parade of Homecoming floats. The sophomores have manned the food concession stand in order to raise money, and have more plans for the future. Now we must wait to see what the future has in hand for the class of '75.

After twelve years of devilish pranks and very strange accidents, they look, with their faded innocence and shattered illusions, to the uncertain future. For now they are truly liberated from student teachers, handbook rules, and the 100 variations of goo -lash. In their four joyous years at PHS they have endured two bomb threats, one snow day and the era of the spirit stick . Their famed comrade, Newton E. Hoenikker, put the bowels of the entire school in an uproar as the office put out an APB on the nonexistent personage. Their sporting ability has earned them an undeniable mark in the record books. With their high school years behind them, the class of '73 shall abandon the dark halls of PHS to assume their definite roles in the great soap opera of life.

If the bus drivers could not bring the students to school, the cooks would not furnish noon meals, and the janitors let the dust and dirt rise, yes, Paxton High School could very well come to a sudden standstill. These people play a very important part in keeping the school going, but never seem to receive the right amount of attention. If, in the near future, you notice a cleaner sink, or a more enjoyable bus ride, or even a more tantalizing lunch, why not give them a compliment? Cooks: Mrs. Karr, Mrs. Parsons. Mrs. Burk-lund, Mrs. Lee Janitors: Ralph Rollins, Willie Burgess 60 Mrs. Dorothy Foster Mrs. Betty Smith Mrs. Jean Graham Mrs. Kay Ardern School Staff Long before the morning bell rings, the offices are buzzing with the click of typewriters and the ringing of telephones. A new day has begun for the staff of Paxton High School. For the employees of the main office, taking attendance, signing blue slips, running off tests, answering students' questions, and, of course, preparing the announcements are alia part of a normal day. The day is not complete without a visit from the school nurse who cures everything from sprained ankles to cinder scrapes. Along with the regular jobs, come strange and unforgettable events, such as fingers sliced off in paper cutters and by scalpels in biology class. Guidance secretary. Mrs. Betty Smith at her desk. Office secretaries have lots to talk about. 61 Board of Education: Don Hoover. Norbert Sanders. Kenny Watkins, Secretary: Ralph Schimanski. President: Gene Elliott, Dick Anderson. Gene Apland Administration It has been said that actions speak louder than words. For the Paxton High School Administration, this has proven true. Most of us never stop to realize the tight schedule on which our school is run or the decisions that must be made concerning school policies and funding. It is the action taken by our Administration that effects our day-to-day life. Who hires and fires the staff, sets up the school calendar, keeps the school healthy financially, and establishes school policies? Long hours are spent reaching the best possible decision on a given problem: thus Paxton has become one of the most progressive schools in the area. Charles C. Newman, Superintendent. 62 High School Administration Mr. Eggleston has been principal at Paxton High School four years. During his years as principal, many changes have been instituted, benefiting both the school and the community. Due to the retirement of Superintendent Charles C. Newman, Mr. Eggleston will serve in this capacity next year. Mr. Rohlfing has served as assistant principal for the past two years. It is his responsibility to assist the principal in any way he can. He aids the principal in enforcing school policies and rules. Mr. Lawrence P. Eggleston Mr. Rohlfing says good-bye to the seniors of ’72. Homecoming just wouldn't be complete without our principal, Mr. Eggleston. 63 Involvement Fire in each eye and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land. —Alexander Pope 65 Blue Gold — Front row: Kippy Hoover, Pat Zaetsch, Bob Rinkenberger, Jon Guthrie.

Smile, this one's for the front page of the paper! Have you got your senior activity sheets in yet? Sound familiar? It should because these are words heard in the halls of PHS as the Blue Gold and Reflector staffs are vigorously at work. For the Blue Gold staff, it meant staying after school on Thursday nights to complete the paper, making sure they had all the latest news for tomorrow's edition, buying suckers and gum to distribute with the paper sales, and trying to find two more inches of news to fill the empty spaces. But after the hassle was over and the worrying done, it was worth it all as the staff cranked out 8 big ones and several smaller editions of the Blue Gold. The staff was on their toes to keep the students informed of the happenings. It isn't easy to put all the laughter, tears, headaches, and smiles of the past year into one book, but somehow the Reflector staff does it. After spending hours trying to write copy, taking a whole roll of film before you realize the lens cap is on, and remembering you had a deadline to meet last week, you smile when you see the 1973 edition produced. You know hidden in the book somewhere are memories of the past year. 66 Reflector — Front row: Bonnie Holland, Diane Kingren Second row: Julie King, Laura Fox, Debbie Allred Third row: Becky Johnson, Kathy Davis, Beth Cofel, Carrie Stewart, Robin Dwyer, Cheryl Henson, Pam Chellberg Back row: Jayne Rine, Kathy Stagen, Doug Niewold, Carol Hoover, Steve Mineer, Jodi Smith, Jim Niewold, Julie Gritton Left: We re thinking about it!

After the Christmas Concert, more ensembles were organized and soloists were chosen to compete in the vocal contest in Gibson City. Songs were chosen, memorized, and worked on. Some groups even sang their numbers on the bus ride down. The ride home was exciting because the hard work of the groups and soloists had been rewarded. Still there was no time to relax, for the spring concert was coming up. After more hard work and practice, the last performance for the '72-'73 school year was over and the members of the choirs were free to relax during the summer vacation.

This year GAA sold candles as a moneymaking project. Annual activities include the traditional Walk for Mankind , Daddy Date Night, Mom's Night, and the ski trip to Lisle in January. They also went swimming and ice skating in Champaign. Many of the GAA girls participated in the new girls' interscholastic teams. The first year was highlighted by a 7-1 record overall for the A and B basketball teams. Other interscholastic sports offered to the girls this year were volleyball, track, and softball. Only four days of competion in each sport were allowed, due to the IHSA rules. Everyone hopes that next year the ruling will end and more games will be played. The GAA Homecoming float, featuring Charlie Brown, won first place in the organization category.

Of this the Paxton chapter is very aware. This group participated in the United Fund Drive, held an American Heritage Assembly, and a mock election, have cooperated with the Student Council and have given special programs on the WRTL radio program on Saturday mornings. Other projects this year included an FFA week assembly, the Childrens' Barnyard, working at the Community Sale and competing in parliamentary procedure and public speaking contests. At the National Convention the Paxton FFA again received the National Gold Emblem award for their services. During National FFA Week, Paxton's FFA chapter presented a Childrens' Barnyard to the lower grade levels. Front row: Bob Holland, Don Frichtl, Jamie Duffin, Clyde Pool, Dan Stagen, Buzz Watts.

Sophomore English is divided into a semester each of composition and speech. Junior and Senior English has semester courses dealing with reading and writing. Reading courses seek to familiarize the student with organizing his thoughts into constructive paragraphs. The French department offers an introduction to grammar and sentence structure in French I and advances in both aspects in French ll-IV. Third and fourth year Latin students spent their time reading the Aeneid and having cultural” parties, while Latin I and II learned the basic skills of language usage. Above: Speech Contest Play: P.

Jobs that used no math now use some. Jobs that used some math, now use more. Paxton's Math Department tries to meet this challenge by constantly evaluating course content, instructional methods, and curriculum. Science, closely related to math, is also currently popular. Already involved in many occupations, it can only increase in use. The student who desires a career in mathematics or science would be wise in studying both subjects, not only because they relate to one another, but because of their value in the future. 87 Social Studies and Bus. Ed In American History this year, simulation games recreating famous war battles have been introduced. In Sociology and Psychology, school projects included telepathy and ESP investigations. Another project was a survey of the positive and negative reactions of students to school experiences. Data Processing was added, this year, to the business education curriculum. The class met the first four periods of the morning, with students from Fisher, Gibson City, Rantoul, and Paxton High Schools involved in the Vocational Co-operative. Typing and shorthand classes were taught in traditional fashion. Independent study was introduced to bookkeeping classes. Connie Shallenberger uses the electric typewriter while in the 7th hour Typing II class. American History captures this student's interest. Delcie Rust uses the key punch machine during the new data processing class. 88 Ford County Band Festival—with guest conductor, Roger Faulman from ISU. Art and Music The smell of paint, clay, and the sound of instruments and voices warming up permeate PHS corridors, for talent is encouraged here. The art department provides an outlet for creativity through drawing, designing, painting, sculpture, and crafts. In the music department band and Lettergirls routines pep up the half time of both football and basketball games. Band has several sections, some to perform at concerts, others to play at pep assemblies and half time. As chorus members prepare for concerts and contests, little snatches of melody float through the lower halls. The girls' chorus practices with Miss Onken during 7th hour. 89 Senior Ann Dimond sculpts in Art II. Driver's Ed and ICE As the automobile becomes an ever-increasing method of transportation, learning to drive is very important. Driver’s Ed can be best described as a ’’crash course in driving. Students are taught book and on the road fundamentals of defensive driving and car maintenance. Many students learn in the classroom, but ICE and CWT students are learning through on-the-job training. Students enrolled in the vocational program are getting a taste of the working world. CWT students are mostly concerned with earning money, while ICE students are concerned with the learning of vocational skills. These students attend school one-half day and spend the other half in the business world . Linda Glazik and Randy Wells study an engine in the Driver's Ed class. ICE students. Bill Elliott and Earl Volden, work at the cob plant. ICE students study a bulletin board of informal snapshots taken of them while at work. 90 Guidance and Library Mr. Henderson, new to the guidance department, counseled freshmen and juniors. Mrs. Fiorillo counseled sophomores and seniors. This year the department also provided information about col leges, business schools, and careers. The library also has books on colleges and careers, besides books for reference, pleasure, and magazines and newspapers. This year Mr. Griggs had a student teacher, Miss Lutz, help him in the library. She wrote up analytical cards on plays and short stories besides keeping order for those using the library to study. Jon Vanier discusses next year's schedule with Mr. Henderson. Freshman Rita Quinlan reads a good book. Freshman Denise Leider investigates some newspapers. 91 Ag and Home Ec Women's Lib has even made its way into the Ag department. For the first time at PHS, two girls were enrolled in the ag class, to learn the basic skills of Ag occupation. The Home Economics class is also no longer segregated. Boys enrolled in Bachelor Living classes to learn to cook and sew for themselves so that they can remain swinging singles as long as they wish. Other divisions of Home Economics not yet invaded by the males are health occupations, meal management, home decorating, clothing construction, and child development. Mr. Henrikson teaches ag boys to repair their own tools. Do you turn the timer on before or after you put the pan down? 92 Light my fire! Junior Roger McFarland works on his project in Woodworking. Shop and Mechanical Drawing The shop class was divided into two semester courses this year: manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing teaches students methods and concepts of mass production. The students made a CO2 powered racer, a high-intensity desk lamp, and a model rocket which was launched. Construction introduces students to construction methods used in building homes primarily. Classes divided into groups, each producing a modular house. Then each student designed and made a scale model of the home he would like to build. Mechanical drawing offers designing and drawing to scale. The diversified Metals class made metal tools. A course on gasoline engines involves disassembling, reassembling, and overhauling gasoline engines. 93 Vo - Tech Special Ed Vocational Education, or the new term Career Education, is basically education to prepare one for life. Career Education stresses the fundamental skills of decision-making, judgement, and the ability to think for oneself. It gives the student the knowledge and background needed to make career choices, and the ability to compete in the work world. In general, Career Education is designed to make the student a useful, productive, and well-informed individual. Special Ed students have become more involved in extra-curricular activities and vocational areas this year. They have gone into the agriculture programs.

Program is set up to transform normal American boys into Popeyes, Speedy Gonzaleses and circus performers, with the help of the weight machine, obstacle courses, and gymnastics e-vents. Besides, there were the traditional sports such as hockey, basketball, murder ball, softball, football, and volleyball. New additions to the PE department were the scooters on which many relays were won and lost, basketball games were played, and knees were scraped. The boys' classes also had a student teacher, Mr. Mitchell, from Illinois State to assist the regular teachers. 95 Girls' P.E. Linda Massey springs off the mini-tramp during a gymnastics exhibition. The new girls' basketball team, nicknamed the Fillies, takes the floor against Unity. PE enthusiast Kathy Krumwiede digs'' Susey Peden returns the volley with volleyball. a bump. When can you learn to bump , dig , and chip ? Why, in girls' PE, of course. Many hidden talents were brought to light through this year's schedule of activities. In its initial year at PHS, the inter-scholastic sports, consisting of volleyball, tennis, and basketball, aroused the interest of many girls. Tumbling was optional for the first time. Girls who didn't want to participate could play handball. A three-week unit on physical fitness followed by hockey brought sore muscles and tired bodies. Recreational games and ping-pong were two activities which were not so strenuous. Nice weather allowed the classes to go outside and play flag football and softball. 96 98 You're not a man, you're a machine. •--George Bernard Shaw Interaction 99 Demanding Sports- Golf demands skill and hours of practice to become proficient. The golf team played their best but still went away with a losing season. Last year saw two individual tennis seasons - the boys' in the spring, and the girls' in the fall. The tennis team lacked experience, but they showed much promise. The girls' tennis team was the first interscholastic girls' team at Paxton. The only sport running into the summer months is baseball. The practice begins in late May and carries into July. Golfer Kevin Smith lines up a putt at the Lakeview Country Club. 'W Baseball — Front row: Rod Swan, Jim Dunnan, John Thompson.

Track... is a most varied sport, with its e-vents requiring a wide range of skills. For example, the shot put requires strength and technique while the distance events require speed and endurance. Track is also an individual sport, pitting each man directly a-gainst his competitors. Each effort adds to the team's total success during the meets. The '72 track team was highly successful. The Paxton Thine lads placed second at the Ford County Track meet in Gibson City. Highlighting the season, the 440 relay team set a new school record. 102 Ray Berning receiving a ribbon at an Invitational track meet.

The 1972 Paxton Mustangs brought home the Wauseca League crown, winning the conference and ending the season with a 7-1 record. This is the second time in five years that teams coached by Norman Henderson and Jerry Zimmerman have won the Wauseca Conference Championship, a tribute to their coaching. PHS had a well-rounded team with everyone contributing to its success, but there was no lack of outstanding individuals. Proof of this is the fact that the Mustangs had eight players named to the All-Conference team which is composed of the top 22 players in the league. Although the team was mainly made up of seniors, juniors held down several key positions and gained experience, giving us hope for another successful season next year.

Paxton won its first few games, but as the Mustangs moved into competition with larger schools and taller players, they fell into a slump. Despite losing, the team kept up their morale. The long bus trips were spent in preparing a group of anonymous players for their singing debut on the Mustang Reflection radio program on WRTL. Paxton placed third in its own Christmas Holiday Tournament, with a win over Gibson City. They also came from behind to beat Melvin-Sib-ley High School in the first round of the regional tournament, before bowing out to Fisher. The Mustangs finished the season with an overall record of 6-18. Varsity: Front row: Bob Rinkenberger.

In its third year at Paxton High School, the gymnastics team was coached by Mrs. Toni Molck, assisted by Ron Storment and Charlie Owens. Night after night of practice proved to be worthwhile at the annual gymnastics exhibition in February. At the exhibition new routines were performed on the parallel bars, the trampoline, and the mats. The vaulting box proved to be the most exciting event with the cross-vaulting. Those who dared showed most difficult stunts that can be performed on the mini-tramp and on the springboard. Mrs. Molck was presented with a coaching jacket and roses for her help in sponsoring and organizing the team. Dave Steiner on the parallel bars.

The squad has also diminished in size, with the loss of two senior members. Cheer leading practice for all squads was held after school every Wednesday.
