Down through the years this Hrst faltering step has assumed great significance, for from it has grown the steady march toward the splendid educational opportunities of today. We here pay tribute to those early schools and to those leaders who struggled to improve them. 5 . x , lx ,, . r i X 1 Q -s - A-5 I , 1 V r I, Af' ,fi ff J Q il, Q J 'Q mm 4 was 'ra 'RQ dicated to This fortv-fifth edition of THE ,AXE is dedicated to the state controlled and supported, free, public schools of America which have done so much toward building good citizens and helping them to realize the ideals of Democracy.

PALUMBO Principal Administrative Payette High School is fortunate indeed in having in administrative positions two fine professional leaders, XV. R. Broadhead, serving the second year as superintendent, and Leo J. Palumbo, in his first year as principal. These men have worked diligently together to promote good school morale. That they have been successful can not be doubted, for it is very evident that a fine friendly spirit of cooperation exists among administrators, faculty members, and students. 8 may ' Bfoard Qi Ejdtcationv? 1 4 This group of elected officials have as one of their major problems the determining of policies which affect the school, no easy task. However, through cooperation with both the administrative personnel and the community at large they have provided a well- organized system and one of which we can all be proud. Members of the Board are: Eldro Gissel, chairman, Wfilliam Arms, vice-chairmang Leland Barber, Homer Judy, and Ward Solterbeck. Francis Pugh serves as secretary of the group. i 1 H X Ewa' 'L E 'Y Sealed-Francis Pugh, clerk Eldro Gissel, chairman Homer Judy. Standing- Leland Barber, Ward Solter- beckg W. R.

Student Council The aim of the Student Council is to effect an organization of the student body for the purpose of creating an effective cooperation with the faculty of this high school. It is our belief that the student government has been highly successful in developing a greater student interest in activities, and thus has brought about stronger student leadership. The Council has been one of the most outstanding extracurricular activities, and, to the satisfaction of the administration, is gaining in strength and effectiveness each year. 13 S , ,. 2 ' mn 2 ,iw-we-' Q 'rf ,,,,, 3 if Sralnl-j.

Librarians Librarian Mary Lindberg has worked long hours this year cataloging books, binding magazines, and arranging other details of a well-organized school library. She has been assisted in regular routine duties by students who volunteer for checking and repairing. Reference material, books of fiction and nonhction, Current magazines, and magazine Hles, are available for daily use, and students are now realizing the wonderful advantages of having access to these study aids. I4 Stud nr The Senior Class One morning in September of 1941, a shy group of children wended their way to the Payette grade schools. They were about to embark upon one of the greatest adventures of their lives. Twenty-four have struggled through the twelve years together. Through the years other students joined us and when we finally reached that important day when we became Freshmen, Hfty-five of our present number entered high school together. In our Freshman year we elected ,Iim Davis as president, Roy Arnold as vice-president, and Helen Bogle, secretary-treasurer. We put up a valiant struggle in the Frosh-Soph Jamboree, but were defeated. During the second year of high school, as Sophomores, we chose Roy Arnold, president, Clayton Comish, vice-president, and Virginia Coleman, secretary-treasurer. We again fought hard in the Frosh-Soph Jamboree and this time were victorious. As Juniors we participated in many events, the most important of them being the Junior-Senior Prom. We chose as the theme, In an Old Dutch Garden. This year we elected Curtis Carico, president, Albert Wolfgang, vice-president, and Virginia Coleman, secretary- treasurer. We were honored by having Bruce Lunstrum chosen from our midst to be A.S.B. Treasurer. This year was the climax, for we were finally mighty Seniors. Our ranks numbered sixty-four. We chose as our leaders for the year Curtis Carico, president, Gene Bainbridge, vice-president. Our faculty advisers, Miss Howerton and Mr. Millbrook, appointed Willie McMurren as our recording secretary and Janet Levers as financial secretary. DoN Louis DUNCAN, valedictorian, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Duncan. HELEN BOGLE, salutatorian, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Bogle. I in V.

As a junior branch of the Kiwanis Club, rhe Key Club has similar aims and purposes. This club, a national service organization designed to serve the school as the Kiwanis Club serves the community, undertook and successfully completed a number of worthwhile projects this year. Meeting once a week at a noon luncheon served at Leedyls Grill, these boys conduct their business meetings. Two members of the local Kiwanis organization meet with rhe boys each week. All business is conducted by the members themselves. Speakers from other communities and local businessmen have appeared before the group, and their talks have been both enjoyable and inspirational. The high light of the year, perhaps, was the annual Club banquet and dance. Officers of the Club are as follows: Jim Davis, president, Roy Arnold, vice-presidentg and Gene Bainbridge, secretary-treasurer. 38 Forum Club Having something to say you must know how to say it. This is the belief of the members of the Forum Club who have chosen for their motto the quotation, Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you.', This Club, organized a year ago for speech students only, studies the most effective methods of public speaking. Mem- bers have participated in various activities including a speech clinic, giving readings both comic and tragic, radio talks, orations, one-act plays, etc. Oflicers are as follows: Ron Mauser, president, Dorothy Holloway, vice-president, Bertiss Ingram, secretary, Elaine Roberts, treasurer,,Ronald Lynn, sergeant at arms.

Each week on Thursday evening at 5:30 the broadcasts were made under the supervision of Ellsworth Haas, faculty adviser. On special occasions, the students endeavored to include appropriate bits of information, along with items of specihc interest to the community.

Conference. Leader in the team's scoring was Jim Davis, senior guard, scoring 239 points, followed by Vern Sandy, 1955 Harmon Killebrew, 1845 Ray Looney, 1495 and Neil Fredricksen, 112, Seeing plenty of action from the reserves were Vernon Frost. Charles Sloat, and Roy Arnold. Season's record before tournament play was 12 wins and 6 losses. The Pirates lost two out of three games at the District 3 tournament held in Boise, winning over Weiser 59-47 and losing to Nampa 65-55 and to Meridian 47-48. The loss to Meridian was a real heart-breaker, for it came in the last second of play. The team was coached by Millard Reynolds, Kmfelizzg-C. Carico and Coach Reynolds. Sfrzmfilzgf-R.Arnold, N.

Baseball With a good pitching force, backed by all but three of last year's lettermen, the Pirates this year should have an outstanding baseball season. Neil Fredricksen, Ray Looney, and Bob Watts proved their ability on the mound last year. Hurlers Vernon Frost and Bill Hawley are newcomers. Having been 1952 runners-up for Championship honors in District 3 last season, Payette will be hoping for top honors in '53. The team is coached by Jack Dailey, who led the Junior Legion team.

O I Although the Junior Varsity football team won no victories this year, the boys showed a lot of fight and good sportsmanship, both of which are necessary factors in building a good team. In a year or two this group will be striving for the championship of Snake River Valley and will be strong competition for that coveted honor. Their basketball season ended with a fair record. The boys were inexperienced at first, but as the weeks went by they showed steady improvement. Their coach, Jack Dailey, had forty- six players, whom he divided into two squads. Some of these boys will, no doubt, find places on the varsity team in a year or two. 55 fr ,Ay ' LX Ji I lfilixfl 1 G.A.A.

The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with hearts and flowers. A huge heart occupied the center of the floor, the stage was decorated to represent a spring garden, and refreshment tables lined the sides of the gymnasium. Girls from the Homemaking Department, under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Wilson, served the food on order. The traditional Sweetheart dance, in which all the contestants participated, began at ten o'clock. During this dance, the winners were revealed and Vernon Frost and Kathryn Rose, Seniors, were named to rule over the affair. Vernon was presented with an identification bracelet by band president, Dorothy Asmussen. He, in turn, presented the gold locket to Kathryn. 60 W ,,, an Af iff x Sweetheart candidates and tlwir excurts. Rozemary and Kenny. Neil has a good tlme. A fancy fourfome. Diane and Arden.

Sweetheart and King candidates Fall Festival One of the high lights of the school year was the annual Fall Festival sponsored by the Axe Staff for the purpose of partially meeting the expense of publishing the yearbook. For weeks this event was eagerly awaited. A few nights before the festival the gym- nasium was a mass of boys and girls talking and laughing, but, in spite of the noise of skit practices and musical instruments, the decorators decked the booths in gay colors, each organization trying to out-do all others in originality of design, Then came the great night itself. Filled to capacity, the gymnasium rocked with laughter and applause as an appreciative audience watched a well-organized program consisting of skits, music, and dances. After the program the fun began, with .more than a dozen booths offering a variety of games of chance and skill. Prizes were awarded to the lucky ones. Shortly after eleven o'clock the queen of the Festival, Vivian Forsdick, was crowned by student body president, Albert Wolfgang, while Axe editor, Patty Parsons, presented her with a beautiful scepter.
