Cultural change has come along so rapidly that we forget that things were quite different just yesteryears ago. Though yesterday is not really ancient history, it is distinctly startling to realize that what we saw every day as children is fiction to our children.” J. Zumwalt 3 From our old Alma Mater to our new, PHS always seems to maintain that unshakable reputation of which we've always been proud. Paxton High School is not exactly a legend in America's eyes, but it is one to its graduates. Sure, PHS wasn't here back in 1776, but it must now have as many records and memories as any school in the nation. Thanks to the many Paxtonites who made it possible, PHS has improved in some way every year. Paxton High School is rated very highly in the state. In addition to their records set in sports, music, and speech, PHS has been thought of as one of the best school systems in the area. This was the place to which many schools came for aid and advice on school problems. We hope that it will be able to stay that way in the years to come. Jenny Glenn and Jeff Graham show that the art of dancing has certainly not died. 4 Paxton High School's Marching Mustangs in action. They are proud to show themselves now, thanks to the fact that they don't have to wear 1920's capes anymore. PHS has shown that kids world-wide have the same stance. This year's AFS student. Jacques Bicheler. Teachers should never complain about how the students have changed. They've changed a lot also. 5 Technology isn't telegraphs, electric lightbulbs, or dreams of flying machines anymore. High school students still crave excitement and adventure. The automobile, the greatest invention since the candle. How else could French students take a trip to Southern Illinois? 7 rsr j iJT j i j 3,j u' ?_ jTj Above: Dig the crazy 1929 uniforms!

The acts included a variety of music, a performance by the Beatles, and the Thespians reproduced a dance from the Fifties. A band of Paxton students, called The Sparks, displayed their talents as they opened the show. Prizes were given to Laurie Watkins and Cathy Carson for third place, to the Thespians for second place, first place was shared by the Paxton Jazz Band and the Entertainers, Bea Kitchens took fourth place with a piano solo, and Jeff Watkins and Jim Rep-pert, MC's of the show, shared fifth place. Here comes Thoroughly Modern Millie. Now. The Entertainers sing their way to 1st place. Above: A girls' ensemble sings Hey Look Me Over, adding their own gestures.

Jacques Bicheler, foreign exchange student from Luxembourg, not only became known to high school students, but gave talks to various clubs in the community. He told about Luxembourg, comparing it with the United States. Many people were surprised to hear that his high school system is a 7 year program. When asked about the land and the people, Jacques always said, “Outdoor life is very important to the people of my country. Many forest, park, and recreation areas can be found near all the cities. Jacques has two older sisters, the elder going to a University in Germany, and the younger attends one in France, and an older brother who plans to become an architect. made friends at the yearbook workshop at 11 Summer Breeze Did you know that a PHS gym had a bridge covered with beautiful colored paper? In the middle of the room was a pavillion containing lawn furniture and garden trellises, all surrounded by walls of different shades of yellow and green. This was the setting for 1975's prom. The theme was Summer Breeze , and the band, Yosemite , made a special arrangement of the song Summer Breeze , especially for the coronation of the king and queen. At ten o’clock the coronation took place. The court: Gary Anderson, Mark Volden (King candidates), Debbie Edwards, Anna-Elisabeth Kravik (Queen candidates), Gary Longfellow, Tim James (Prince candidates), and Sue Vandiver, Bea Kitchens (Princess candidates), were followed by Prince Greg Williams, Princess Kim Eichelberger, Queen Sue Seibring and King Rick Schaumburg. The King and Queen were attended by Jenny Glenn and Jeff Graham, who were dancing together before the evening ended. Dancing was an important factor to the theme, Summer Breeze .

Baccalaureate — Class Day Class Day, for the Class of 75, was both a happy and a serious occasion. Awards honoring both students and teachers were given as usual, and the class will and prophesy were read. But this mood was partially broken when it was announced that the yearbook was dedicated to the late Ralph Rollins, everyone's friend here at PHS, and Mrs. Rollins received her copy of the Reflector. At Baccalaureate, the Seniors' mothers received the traditional roses, the chamber choir sang, and the ceremony ended with a talk by Rev. Van-derWaal. Graduating Seniors lined up for Baccalaureate. 14 Below. Joy Williams, AFSer from Tasmania, thanks PCHS for her yearbook.

Whether a person was a part of the first graduating class at PHS in 1885, or last year's class of 1975, their thoughts about the past, present and future must have been similar. Most likely their memories of the past concerned their school years; the present involved butterflies in the stomach because of Graduation; and the speculation on the future was concerned with the starting of adult careers. But the nervousness and unknown thoughts were all to the good. For, after four members of the class spoke, and American Legion awards were presented, another generation received their diplomas.

We have come from a snake dance to bonfires, from alumni dances to homecoming. But no matter how drastic the changes are, our spirit is always there. Because of Big Blue spirit, we had a very successful Homecoming. Many students worked hard on their organization and class floats; even the West Lawn kids got together and made their own float for the Bicentennial year. Majorettes, Letter-girls, and Band members added to the parade's success. To add to the happy weekend, the Mighty Mustangs won over previously undefeated Watseka 14-0. Seniors Ben Lee and Art Tuggle made the touchdowns. At the dance, the King and Queen, Bryan Mikeworth and Kim Eichel-berger, were crowned. Their court consisted of Peggy Mikeworth, Cary Hasselbring, Rena Wilson, Mike Pilcher, Sharon Seibring, Tom Johnson, Bea Kitchens, Gary Longfellow, Lee Burnett, Jacques Bicheler, Sue Vandiver, and Dave Wilson. 5CRLP Hus UflRR ORS Above: The winning Homecoming float belonged to the Seniors.

Lettergirls do their thing at the game. 17 Imagine this scene, says Charlie Davenport (Dave Bittinger) to Mac (Gary Coleman). Plays Last year's plays, Annie, Get Your Gun , a western-comedy of the love between a poor country girl and a famous sharpshooter, and Done To Death , the mystery-comedy that changed from real scenes to imaginery ones, were extremely successful. Annie Get Your Gun was the last play directed by Mrs. Stinnett, who then turned those responsibilities over to a new English teacher. It centered around Annie Oakley, the uneducated country girl who was good with a gun, her little brother and sisters, and Frank Butler, the most famous man in the West. Annie and Frank were torn between their love for each other and their pride in being the best gun shot of all time. In spite of small problems with Charlie Davenport, Frank's manager, love finally won out, and Butler and Oakley became a team. Frank Butler (Frank Alfano) meets country girl Annie Oakley (Linda Massey).

A man with a bloody knife in his back has fallen out of a closet. The scene — a creepy-looking house on an island called Vulture's Vault. The victim — Jason Summers (Kevin Saldeen).

Wassail! was the familiar cry at the 2nd annual Madrigal banquet, sponsored by the English Lit. Club. Wassail brought on two more successful evenings of dancing, singing, and dining in Queen Elizabeth's palace dining room. The room was bright with extravagant, gaily colored costumes, decorations, the Queen and her court, and even a court jester. (Who would ever think that, on any other day, this room looked like a schoolroom cafeteria? And the court, like plain ordinary high school English Lit. Club members?). Delicious food, fit for a queen, was served as noble ladies and gentlemen sang and danced to beautiful Christmas music. The audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves. So did the cast — the girls straining to put on the big-belled dresses, and the guys, (and some girls) dressing up in knickers and beards with mustaches to match. And the English Lit. Club, with sponsor, Mrs. Beer, enjoyed it, too, because of its great success. 20 Christmas Miss Merry Christmas candidates. Sue Vandiver, Melissa Roy, Brenda Poison, and Laurie Watkins smile at the parade. Merry Christmas to all!'' was a familiar cry at this year's Christmas season. Santa Claus made his usual appearance. But it wasn't just a season for little kids. Kim Eichelberger, Miss Merry Christmas, rode in the annual parade, while the colorful floats, both commercial and religious, and Elmo Turn's Cow Pasture Ragtime Band created a very merry mood for all involved. Kim Eichelberger — Miss Merry Christmas. Penny Burnett, Peggy Mikeworth, Beth Kitchens, and Rena Wilson shiver in the cold. 21 Elmo Turn's Cow-Pasture Ragtime Band shows up again at the Christmas parade. s p e e c h Athletes, eat your hearts out! is a suitable saying for Paxton's 1974 speech team. The two practices (often three) a week, working harder and harder, really proved beneficial. First the team went to a few invita-tionals for experience and knowhow. Then they tackled District . . . and got first place. Soon they took another first ... at Sectional this time . . . leaving them anxious yet hesitant toward State competition. It was difficult to believe that State was a reality, but those going worked diligently until THAT day. The great Number One appeared again, when Cindy Eppelheimer was judged the best in the state in dramatic interpretation. 1975 Speech Team Varsity: Debbie Vaughn (dis. 1st; sec. 5th) Cindy Rose (dis. 1st) Debbie Edwards (dis. 1st, 2nd; sec. 3rd, 3rd) Marcy Epps (dis. 1st; sec. 3rd) Cindy Eppelheimer (dis. 1st, 2nd; sec. 3rd, 3rd) Linda Massey (dis. 2nd, 3rd; sec. 1st, 5th) Jim Reppert (dis. 4th) Patti Bachman (dis. 6th) Frank Alfano (dis. 5th) Tom Johnson (dis. 5th) Novice: Linda McKelvey Jane Buhrmaster Lisa Gritton Mary Eggleston Debbie Reckowsky Brad Adams Stan Gibson Rea Marshall Dawn Coplea Karin Carpenter Reader's Theatre (Dist. 2nd) Dave Bittinger Jim Reppert Stacey Jenkins Dawn Coplea Frank Alfano Mike Natterstad Deb Ostgard Cindy Eppelheimer - State Champion.

Many of them didn't know where their classes were, and were wandering the halls, confused. After a couple of days, though, they knew their way around. A lot of this year's freshmen went out for athletics, plays, or music. They loyally attended football and basketball games, supported the girls' teams, and held a Sock Hop. The freshman Homecoming float took fourth place. On the whole, this year was a great experience, and it's only the beginning.

Although at the time it was one of the largest classes to graduate from PHS, classes are much larger these days. At least, hopefully more than 26 seniors will graduate! For a change. Prom included a dinner, thus resembling Jr.-Sr. banquets of the past. Another difference was the location. It was held out of town, at the Rantoul Moose. The Class of 76 has been pretty fortunate. They are the class to graduate during the Bicentennial Year. They also had the benefit of a broad field of extracurricular programs for all of their four years. In the immediate future classes may not have these advantages. Due to major financial cutbacks, school-sponsored activities are being dropped. Seniors participated actively in sports and organizations. The float of the Senior class won their first 1st place in Homecoming competition. They raised some money by working in concession stands during ball games. Events such as these probably won't be enjoyed next year, so this year's Seniors should count themselves lucky.

Board of Education and Superintendent The Board of Education has been pressured more than usual this year. Economically, PHS has had to adjust to a great deal of change. All summer classes have been dropped, and there were several cuts on supplies and in curriculum. A referendum asking for a raise on property tax was presented to support the school, but it was voted down. As a result, sports, non-man-dated courses, and all extra-curricular activities may be dropped. Our Superintendent, Mr. Eggleston, has also been very concerned. He has tried very hard to come up with a solution to this situation. However, as anyone can imagine, he can't use everyone's ideas and serve everyone's wants. He and the Board will need a lot of support in keeping the best school system in the area the best. Front row: Kenneth Watkins. Earl Tweady, Clarence J. Nuss. Back row: Dean Blackford. Tim Schofield, Gene Elliott. Dennis Short. Mr. Larry Eggleston is Superintendent of Schools. It's tradition for Mr. Eggleston to help serve holiday meals at the school. 56 It’s been a very pleasant year, said Mr. Wylie when asked about the current school year. In spite of the fact that the school financial situation has become a major problem, Mr. Wylie has enjoyed this year more than either of the other two. He believes that part of the reason for this is that he now knows more of the students and feels more comfortable with them. When speaking of the assistant principal, he replied that Mr. Knowles has been a great help to him and the school. Mr. Knowles also believes that this year has run very smoothly, even though this is his first year as assistant principal. He enjoys Paxton schools very much and thanks Mr. Wylie and the students for making him feel welcome in his first year. We think that everyone would agree that Mr. Wylie and Mr. Knowles make an excellent team. Mr. William Wylie. Principal. Principal and Asst. Principal Mr. Harold Knowles. Assistant Principal. Mr. Wylie enjoys the cafeteria because it gives him a chance to talk to students. 57 Secretaries-Nurse Mrs. Pufahl, another of our secretaries, checks attendance. Patiently, Dot handles all our problems. Below: Mrs. Smith, Guidance secretary, is swamped with everyday work.

Service Staff Has one of your groups ever called an emergency meeting . . . and the cafeteria was locked? Who has to help? The janitors, of course! Besides their everyday duties of opening jammed lockers, sweeping the halls, and scraping dried gum from desk chairs, they still have time to say a few nice words when you happen to see them in the halls. Have you ever realized if it weren't for our bus drivers, we would have to walk to school almost every day? In the winter that snow, sleet and ice can get pretty tough. However, we have our bus drivers, and were thankful for them. Suppose our school didn't have cooks. Cold lunches every day! Sooner or later everyone would get sick of it. But, thanks to our cooks, we manage to have hot lunches. And thanks to the service staff, who keep things A-OK around school. Bus Drivers: Front row. Mr. Sennert, Mrs. Preisser, Mr. Sauer.

Dir.; Football Coach Library and Guidance The Guidance Dept, offers counselling to new students, and help and advice to seniors going on to college. They help to straighten out students' problems, and keep track of their credits. Mr. Henderson counsels the sophomores and seniors while the freshman and juniors go to Mrs. Fiorillo. The Guidance Secretary, Mrs. Smith, handles lunch lines and money, keeps track of students, and the two counselors. Mr. Griggs is our faithful librarian. What he says, goes. Helping him are the five members of the Library Club. The Club, a service group only, helps keep the library quiet and orderly. Members check books out and in, keep shelves orderly, replace damaged cards, card pockets, and many other things which make it easier for students and teachers to use the library facilities.

Mrs. Fiorillo looks over long-awaited test scores. 66 Mr. Henderson works hard in his office. Art and Music The Concert Choir preparing for a Christmas performance. Scott Carlson, drummer for the Concert Band. One thing about the Art and Music departments — you can always tell they're from the same school of thought — students are always driving the teachers crazy. The Art department is naturally hectic, but Miss Walle always seems to keep her cool and know exactly what she's doing. Is it just a front? Front or not, art students turn in (or turn out) some pretty good projects. Mr. Hart also seems to have his share of crazy hours. Well, aren't musicians supposed to be weird? Paxton fulfills that statement, be it true or not. But his students also turn in some satisfying productions. Vocally, the school's been kept busy, also. Miss Oncken had music contest and the biennial vocal festival this year. They've kept the Music department on its toes. 67 Jim Thatcher stains a giraffe he made in Art Class. Ag. and Home Ec. Becky Riggle. Julia Behrens. Wayne Johnson, and Rodney Martin discuss their assignment in Ag. No more segregation is found at PHS. Sports isn't the only traditional area which has changed. Girls have been proving themselves as good as the boys in agriculture. Mr. Burkybile, the new Ag. teacher, has been teaching them how to manage a farm, raise live stock, plant, and make repairs on the machinery used. On the other hand, boys have been taking Home Ec. After considerable practice, they have the satisfaction of preparing a meal for each other, or sewing a new apron. Well, you made it. Now you have to eat it. Steve Glazik learns to weld in Shop. Eva Langlois learns to prepare meals in Home Ec. 68 Students work with the equipment in Data Processing. These machines also are used to help maintain school records. Social Studies and Business Education Social studies involves a variety of classes, ranging from Psychology to Sociology. Students learn the role history played in shaping the world of today, and about those influences which currently affect our government and economy; how the area in which one lives, one's background, and one's peer group direct one's life, social reactions, and thinking. Business education prepares the student to understand the world of business, and is an introduction to the skills he will need. Classes deal with money management, economical purchasing power, bookkeeping, letter writing, legal obligations, income tax preparation, typing and shorthand. The skills learned are useful at home, in business, and in further education. Jacques Bicheler and Cindy J. Elliotl listen to Mr. Douglas in U.S. History. 69 I n d A r t s V o T e c h Vocational Technology is designed to give students ideas for planning their future careers. Vo-Tech includes about anything from personal typing to l.C.E. It consists basically of skill subjects rather than academic ones. These courses help to give the students the knowledge to be able to select a career that is right for them. Industrial Arts is intended to teach students who are interested in shop how to draw and build various objects with wood and metals. The students also learn how to use the tools needed to take care of gas engines. PHS offers a wide range of courses dealing with many aspects of shop. Tom McQuinn dowels two pieces of walnut wood.

Tom Johnson, Mike Natterstad, and Mr. Tuggle search for timing marks on a crankshaft. 70 Drivers' Ed. and ICE Every teen-ager looks forward to his sixteenth birthday, to becoming a sophomore, and to getting his driver's license. But, as Mr. Smith and Mr. Seng point out in Drivers' Ed., there's more to driving than dragging Main Street. Before one gets his own set of keys, he must pass tests both at school and with the state inspectors. I.C.E. stands for Interrelated Cooperative Education. This program provides training in a wide variety of businesses. I.C.E. is important because it gives non-college-bound students experience on the job, for which they are paid while they are still going to school. Although they may take jobs elsewhere, most students work Mr. Smith discusses the driver's education test with state examiner Lawrence Ring. • p . 71 The VICA-ICE Open House, held in late February, brought many employers, parents and faculty together with ICE students. English Foreign Language The English Department has been busy with Speech Contests, and planning a trip to England and the continent. Though young and inexperienced, the Speech team was very successful this year. One of their members, Stan Gibson, went to the State contest. The English Lit Club presented another Madrigal program and banquet, and earned the right to make another trip to Europe. Foreign Languages is more than having to learn weird words and phrases, and twisting one's tongue around strange and new sounds. Students learn about the countries involved, their cultures, histories, customs and living habits, as well as their literature. Some of the members of the French classes took a week-end trip to explore that portion of our state settled originally by the French. Susan Gustafson, Debbie Whitaker, and Robin Martin help Tracy Stifle work the Language lab. Rhonda Brinegar examines paperbacks available in English Dept. Stan Gibson goes to State Speech Contest with an original comedy. 72 Very interesting. But what is it? Jennifer Ridgeway, Chris Sherwood, Susan Gustafson, in biology. Cindy Thompson mixes a mystical formula in Chemistry. How would you like to try some candy? Or how about a pretty butterfly? A brain-teasing logic problem? Sound like some kind of wacky store? No, it's only our PHS Science and Math departments. The candy — just done in Chemistry Class, along with the usual groans and moans. Butterflies are caught in Advanced BSCS, only one of our many sections of biology. The sections differ in the complexity of the work, but lots of lab work is still done by each one. The logic problems, then, naturally come from our Math department, where complaints about trigonometry, geometry, and algebra are often heard. Sound easy? Not really. Even though the kind of study says action , the teachers still say work . 73 Spec. Ed and Mech. Drawing The PHS Special Education class began in 1967. Even though the state limits the class size to 15 members, there are students from Paxton, Roberts, Piper City, Buckley, and Loda. Special Ed. students receive math, language arts, social studies, and citizenship training from Mr. Kingston and are integrated into programs of art, music, P.E., shop, typing, Home Ec. and driver's ed. The Special Ed. program is prevocationally oriented, with much emphasis on how to get a job, and how to keep a job. Many of the students work at the Ford County Nursing Home, Clara Peterson school and Lopoco. Some of the students serve as helpers in the cafeteria. Mechanical Drawing is the basic course in drawing. It is mainly concerned with dimensions, pictorial drawing, projection, symbols, and sectioning. In the first semester, there's more emphasis on learning the basic techniques. The second semester works with planning and construction. Randy Luttrell carefully works on the house he helped design. Mr. Kingston takes time, during a class break, to play a card game with Debbie Brown. Piper City: Richard Coffey. Loda: Laura Lyons Paxton and Eva Turner, Paxton. 74 Phys. Ed. The P.E. classes have been keeping just as active this year as they usually are. A lot of new equipment was received in the P.E. department, and there has been considerable updating on regulations for girls' sports, integration of boys' and girls' classes, etc. The girls have been playing such games as volleyball, badminton, and scooter basketball. The boys, participating in these sports too, have also been involved in rougher activities, such as football and weight lifting. Although the P.E. classes have been kept the same for a long time, next year may have a new twist; the P.E. classes may go coed. Chuck Tuggle works out on the weight machine. 75 Right: Debbie Scales and Peggy Masterson go for the puck, while Sheri Harness looks on.

To get more of the student body involved, they helped the cheerleaders with dress-up week. That was concluded on Friday with Blue and Gold Day. The parade route had to be mapped out, floats built, and the dance at Homecoming had to be planned. Since this is an organization set up strictly to help the students, the members decided to plan some activi- ties just for fun. Several assemblies were scheduled, to help break up the everyday routine, and many sock-hops were planned after basketball games. They sponsored the Variety Show, and planned a formal dance in April. One of the major activities of this group is the radio show, Mustang Reflections , on WRTL Saturday mornings. This is designed to let the community know what is going on at PHS. The group also assisted in canvassing for the Heart Fund. First row: Gary Harris, Susan Woodworth. Melanie Frichtl. Sue Vandiver. Julie Quivey, Polly Pfoff.

The membership of the organization consists of students involved in the ICE program who also wish to participate in its member organization. During VICA week (April 9-15) the VICA members held an Open House for their employers and the faculty of PCHS. They visited each other's training stations, and went as a group to the Ice Ca-pades. The group also presented each faculty member with a rose. The VICA banquet, held in April, is their end-of-the-year presentation. This is open to employers, parents, trainers and teachers.

To promote good will among students, faculty, administration, and community is one of the main objectives of the Mental Health Club. In its third year, Mr. Kingston strongly feels that the club is doing its job better than before. They assist in the Telecare program, work with handicapped children and elderly citizens, and are available wherever and whenever the need for their assistance arises. But don't feel that this group is all business. Christmas and St. Patrick's Day parties at the Ford County Nursing Home, and an assortment of other trips and parties combine love, fellowship and fun for all members of the club. They care!

In the early years of our school there were two debate teams, the Athenaeum and the Platonian Literary Societies. These groups may be considered fore-runners of the English Lit. Club. The current club is concerned with England and its literature, which was a major influence in the shaping of our American culture. To members of the club the trip to Europe is more than just an event they've earned by investing time and effort to earn the money for it. It's a visit to the historic places they've studied in English Lit. class. To raise money for their second annual trip candy, boxes of fruit, and raffle tickets on a side of beef or pork were sold. The second Madrigal banquet was the major source of money for this year's trip to England during spring vacation. A chorus entertains guests during dinner. 81 s c 1 e n c e Club Have you ever wondered how a certain science experiment was done? Science Club members don't wonder how or why, they know how and why. This group is primarily concerned with doing familiar experiments, and planning new ones to be done. These usually range from the really simple to the more complex operations. Members have also had moneyraising projects. They held a booth at Fun Night, in April. They usually travel to an annual science show at the University of Illinois, which serves in the place of a regular meeting, and they have an annual steak-fry at the end of the school year.

Since the very beginning of the National Honor Society in 1921, the qualities looked for in all members, the “fundamental virtues most worthy of encouragement, have been the same: character, leadership, scholarship, and service. The NHS club has grown nationwide since it was first started, and Paxton has become a very important chapter. The Lamplighter Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in Paxton in 1957. As can be imagined, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to join. A faculty board uses the four main characteristics as a standard for electing new members. This year, NHS is more of an honorary society than an active club. However, they have taken part in a few projects, including a tour of Illinois State University in Normal.

The AFS Club began its second year this year. It is primarily concerned with trying to make the Foreign Exchange student feel at home in our surroundings. The AFS student that we hosted this year was Jacques Bicheler. To earn money, the AFS Club is planning to sell pop-bottle art. These are pop bottles that have been stretched and decorated. The group also ran a concession stand at a basketball game, and helped the local American Field Service chapter with their annual banquet, to raise funds for next year's Foreign Exchange student.

It's taken on a new name and new members. The name is the Varsity Club. The new members — the majority are girls. Initiation was different also. Every new member had to wear a nice-looking get-up ... a good shirt, a tie, good shoes, gym shorts and something that had to do with his (or her) major sport (a football, tennis racquet, track shoes, etc.) tied around his waist. To add to this, everyone had to memorize the school Loyalty and Fight songs, and sing them alone in front of the Club. Also, they had to help clean the trophy case, and lead a cheer in the pep assembly following initiation. Officers Brian Mickworth, Pres.; Steve Keenen, Vice-Pres.; Dan Ostgard. Sec.; Mark LeClair.

Thespians This year the Thespians have really been keeping busy. They began early last spring by sponsoring the spring play, “Annie Get Your Gun, and in the fall the play, “Done to Death, both of which proved to be two of the funniest plays around. In early October, Thespians participated in the “Walk for Mankind, to earn money for the poor kids all around the world. A couple of weeks later they sponsored the Spook House at the annual PTA Carnival, held at the Junior High. They also ran a booth at Fun Night in April. To make money for their annual trip to Chicago in May, they sold DRIX, a multipurpose cleanser. Executive Board: Front row: Rhonda Jones, Susan Woodworth, Linda McKelvey.

During FFA Week they held a contest for students and teachers to guess the number of kernels in a jar, presented each member of the faculty with a flower, and held an open house for parents, alumni of FFA, the faculty, and those interested in the organization. They chose a FFA sweetheart, selected the winners of their American Heritage essay contest, sponsored a poster contest in the grade schools, and presented their annual barnyard zoo for the grade schools. This organization is for students preparing for careers in agriculture. In this field they have done extremely well, for they have won many awards. In Mahomet alone they won 11 of 27 awards. Many of them maintain their interest in this organization after they have left school, and have taken their know-how into their chosen field.

It has approximately 40,000 members. It functions through the public and private secondary school systems, as an integral part of the Home Economics system, providing opportunities for enriched learning. The local organization held a garage sale this fall. The clothes they didn't sell were given to the Good Will. They also had a pizza party and a Christmas party. At FHA meetings the group works with handicrafts, according to their individual interests. Some are painting with Artex, others are doing leather craft, macrame, decou-page, or plaster work.

They sound almost professional (ahem). The concert band and jazz band have played at concerts, with the jazz band doing its usual good job at certain jazz festivals around the state. Pep band did their good job at the basketball games, as did the marching band during football season, all accompanied by none other than the Paxton Lettergirls, who performed many routines at all ball game halftimes.

The Reflector staff sure has been. Starting off early this year, some of the staff went to the annual Kankakee Community College workshop. At the workshop, they learned to do many things, ranging from taking an ordinary picture to doing complex layout on pages. They brought back many ideas and quickly started to work on their own yearbook. Since the staff was a little short on money, they decided to try something different. In October, they held two booths at the P.T.A. carnival. This raised a fair amount of mo-•ney. Although the Reflector staff is small, they still have been doing a lot of work. When all the work is finished, the staff has something to show for it, their ideas in a new Reflector. Front row: Jeff Pierce. Debbie Reckowsky. Janet Coleman. Second row Brad Velliquette.

GAA used to be the only place girls could go to participate in sports, without having to worry about how they played or what they looked like. Now that may change for boys have been allowed to join GAA. The parties they've had were at Halloween and Christmas. Other events included Mom's Night, Dad's Night, bowling and ice skating. New ideas introduced this year were coat checks at basketball games, cake raffles (which brought in some extra money), and a Sara Coventry jewelry party. Four GAA members and Mrs. Tuggle attended the first annual Illinois State GAA convention in December. One of the most important topics discussed was the integration of the boys into girls' sports and the girls into boys' sports. With expenses increasing steadily and funds decreasing as rapidly, many activities may have to be dropped. If GAA does keep going, it will be open to everyone next year.

He spent hours teaching the team different serving and playing techniques. The golf program proved to be a learning experience. Most of the golf team was made up of underclassmen, so a large part of the team will be returning to the greens next year. The baseball squad, under the direction of Pat Prina, had a winning season. He spent a lot of time with the team on the basic rules of baseball. Also he told them that winning isn't everything, it's how well the game is played. That is important.

They finished the season with a record of nine wins and two losses. This is the best showing of any girls' tennis team at PHS. Also they finished second in the Kankakee district. Besides the team's good showing, Rhonda Baier became the first state finals qualifier at PHS. The girls fielded a softball team for the first time. The team was discontinued this year due to the lack of girls signing up. The team finished the season with three wins against four losses. Girls' Baseball Softball: First row: Rita Quinlan.

The first football games were played on a field purchased by a local resident, and the old men of the town did their best to help the captain coach the team. Whether successful or not, the players fought hard for their teams. Football equipment, rules, and strategy have changed radically since PHS fielded its first team. The boys gave us a fine show of their talents this year, finishing with a 7-2 record. A few bruises, some broken bones, but a smile and a successful season nonetheless.

Coach Dennis Kagel, in his first year of coaching at PCHS, had a lot of talented and determined young men to work with. As a young ball club, still in the process of rebuilding, they gave their opponents a tough time. There were a lot of very close games, lost in overtime or by just a few points. The season's scores do not present a fair picture of the worth of the team. Jim Pilcher and Dave VanderWaal attempt to stop the Wat-seka Warrior's offensive attack.

The Fresh-Soph squad ended their season with a winning 4-3 record. Both teams were well balanced with a lot of ability, drive, and enthusiasm.

Have you ever wondered how a person does a back-flip? How is a walk-over done? Well, for the gymnastic members it all doesn't come naturally, it takes a lot of hard work. Gymnastics aren't just people, they're members who work together to learn new gymnastic tricks, how to use the trampoline properly, and many other things. The gymnasts are chosen from a large group of people who try out about a month before the actual performance. They spend about three days a week practicing. All the practicing is for the good, for when the time is ready, they do their routines, and guess what! It's almost a perfect performance. 109 Varsity: Front row: Sharon Seibring, Bea Kitchens - Mascot. Second row: Cindy J. Elliott, Melanie Frichtl, Betty Bauer, Patti Bachman.

They have been working out every Wednesday after school, since school started. During the summer the squads sold Bi-Centennial candles and candy to send the Freshmen and Sophomores to camp. They came back with new sideline and floor cheers. They also sold their usual football stickers and mums for the football season. By selling mums, they bought themselves Freshman uniforms and new Sophomore shirts. 110 Varsity Cheerleaders during the Homecoming parade. Freshman: Front row: Connie Nuss.

The boy's track team should know, for they do a lot of both. This team participates in both track and field events. Track events are dashes and relays, and long distance runs. Field events are the shot put, pole vault, long and high jumps. With the weather in their favor, the team had a pretty good season. The experience of their seniors enabled the varsity to do really well. What the junior squad lacked in experience, they made up for in numbers and will to do.
