Behold the advancing seniors of 1936-7! We, the junior Class of 1935-6, have spent an eventful year learning from our elder seniors just how we ought properly to play the part of overlord when we in September, 1936, occupy the chair of su- premacy at dear old HP. C. H. Sf? The junior Class have proved themselves superior in athletics, music, and scholarship and have properly fitted themselves under the leadership of Virgil Frey as President, Clayton Witt, Vice-President, and Kenneth Watkins, Treas- urer, and Mr. Haenfler, Sponsor, for their exalted position of seniors, thanks to the splendid example of their forbearers. HP. C. H. Sf' can look forward in anticipation to Z1 rousing year led by the peppy Senior Class of 1936-7. EDWARD J. HAENFLER ri ri or-fe - 12 - -P. tc. H. sf SOPHOMORE CLASS It was a never to be forgotten day when on Mon- day morning, September 4, 1934, HP. C. H. S. enrolled a group of Hlive-wiren fresh,'men, freshmen that have since proved themselves a real asset to the school as BEHNARR M- PTACEK they moved on into their sophomore year. Scholasti- cally, as in all other activities of the school, they have constantly won the respect of their fellow classmates, proving that the juniors and seniors aren't the only smart classes in the school. The members of the class have all proved themselves good amateur actors ex- cept when it came to the gentle art of pie-eating at the several parties which didn't seem to be so much acting. Those people who have led the class on and up closer to its final goal of gradu- ation are Gladys Kent, President, Maxine Harrach, Vice-President, and Ruby Cunningham, Secretary-Treasurer.

North Platte having one of the outstanding teams in Nebraska defeated the Dra- gons 25 to O. This defeat gave the Dragons something to think about, and it was realized that if they wanted to win games, they had to play heads up football. With that in mind the boys started their winning streak by defeating Sutherland 26 to O. The following week the Curtis Aggies football team came to Grant, thinking that they had Grant bested by 30 or 40 points, but again P. C. H. S. showed their power by defeating Curtis 20 to O. October 11, the Dragons went to Benkelman, and played their only night foot- ball game of the season. Again the Dragons were victorious 22 to 0. S eeee S eeeeeeeeeeee 11 o 3 o: eeee 15 F' iiiiiii P. C. ll-ll. S. iiiii iiii The Dragons had little trouble in winning from Trenton, but they were the first team in the conference to cross the Drag0n's goal line. The Dragons had the determination that it takes to make a good team, and gave Chappell their first defeat, with a small margin of 12 to 7. The P. C. H. S. won their next three conference games by defeating Ogallala, Wauneta, and Oshkosh. The climax of the season was the Turkey Day game with Imperial playing for championship of both the S. P. V. A. and Frenchman Valley conference. It seemed as if every family of Grant went to witness the battle for championship. It was one of the hardest and cleanest fought games ever witnessed on the Im- perial field. The P. C. H. S. was defeated by a score of 7 to O, this giving Imperial the championship. However, P. C. H. S. received a fine trophy for second place in the S. P. V. A. conference. There were 15 of the P. C. H. S. boys who received football letters. Mason McPheeters was elected honorary captain for the 1935 season. Don Rister, Harold Hooper, Burdette Cox, George Genegenbach, Bob Sexson, Charles Jackman, also lettermen, will be lost to the team because of graduation. The following letter- men left to carry on for the following year are Clayton Witt, Cecil Pierpoint, Virgil Frey, Stuart Burge, Dwight Holoway, Kenneth Watkins, Leonard Gloy, Dale Conzelman, and Clyde Southwick. Charles Jackman, Don Rister, Clayton Witt, Virgil Frey, Stuart Burge, and Mason McPheeters were placed on the all conference teams. eeeee - eeeeeeee 11 9 3 6 eeeee eeee P eeeee P F 16 A sesese P. cc. H. S. eesesese BASKETBALL The basketball season opened up with only two regular boys from the past year to build a team around. It seemed to be hard to find a combination that would show the teamwork which is a necessary element for victory. Possessing no outstanding stars, and being handicapped because of height, the P. C. H. S. had a good season, winning fifty per cent of their games. The P. C. H. S. won the consolation in the Frenchman Valley Tournament for which they received a fine trophy. Bob Sexson was picked for the Frenchman Valley all conference team. Ten boys received letters. Don Rister was elected honorary captain. Those receiving letters are Don Rister, Burdette Cox, Clayton Witt, Charles Jackman, Cecil Pierpont, Stewart Burge, Bob Sexson, and Dan Hudson. LEAGUE BASKETBALL A program of Intra-mural basketball was carried out again this year as it has been in the past three years, under the supervision of Mr. Smith. Forty boys were divided into five League Teams and a team from the Grade School made six teams in all. A schedule of games was played during the season and a tournament held at the end of the season. Team V won both the League standings and the tournament. The boys who played on this team are as follows: Charles Tharp, Captain, Kenneth Watkins, Paul Shively, Billy Moller, jack Dalton, Junior Mickles, Cleo Truitt and Robert Perterson. l BACK Row, names not in order: H.

S. has been very outstanding in track, being conference champion two years ago and runner-up last year. Two of the outstanding performers were Ben Grimm and Clayton Witt. Although no meets have been held before this Writeup goes to press, we predict a very outstanding season for Clayton Witt, a sprinter of state wide attention. Last year he lowered the state 220 yards last record at the conference meet. The following lettermen are back this year: Clayton Witt, Virgil Frey, Cecil Pierpont, George Gengenbach, and Charles Tharp. The tennis teams have also been very successful in the conference over a period of years, winning more championships than any other team. Don Rister and Charles Jackman, the doubles team of last year, are back to dispute championship honors with other conference schools.

Miss Cherry Blossomf' a beautiful maiden who thought she was japanese, falls in love with a handsome American boy. Her father opposes the match because of a politician who promises great sums of money for Miss Cherry Blossom's hand.

Meanwhile, Sammie and Doris Turner tried to prevent their father from marrying because they thought Mrs. Martyn was marry- ing him for his money. Through an unusual twist of circumstances, everything turned out right. Georgie and Aunt Lydia with her solemn thoughts about her poor dead brother, Agnes' first husband, kept the audience in hysterics. f-'e 4:1 o 3 6 eeeeee A 20 he--P. C. H. SENIOR PLAY Wednesday evening at 7:30, April 15, 1936, in the Grant Theater, the curtain raised on an office scene with a lounger nonchalantly whistling. Thus began Nothing but the Truthf' the play presented by the senior class of 1935-6. A young man bet 310,000 of his sweetheart's money that he could tell the truth for twenty-four hours. His sweetheart was trying to raise 510,000 more money and she gave him the money for safe keeping. Bob Bennett, the young man, finally decided that the truth was too hot for him and wound up with a mouthful of lies after he had won the bet.

Six years following the founding of the organization at Kansas City, 27 states, the territory of Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, had formed organizations of Future Farmers of America affiliated with the National Organization. There were at that time approximately 82,000 members in 3,500 local chapters. At the present time there are over 100,000 members in this organization. The Future Farmers of America is a non-profit corporation designed to recog- nize and encourage the natural instincts and tendencies into work and recreation. Between 1923 and 1928 a number of organizations of Vocational .Agricultural students were doing splendid work in a number of states and a few years later the Future Farmers of Virginia was founded. interesting names were Njunior Farmers, HYoung Farmers, 'tFuture Farmersl' and others. The pioneer efforts of the Future Farmers of Virginia attracted the greatest attention nationally due to the very excellent ideals, purposes, ceremonies, and definite constitution formulated by Henry C. Groseclose. Two years after the founding of the Future Farmers of Virginia, six other states founded similar organizations, enoaoe E- 22 C. H. The F. F. A. Emblem, which is gold and national blue is made up of tive symbols-the owl, the plow, and the rising sun, within the cross section of an ear of corn which is surmounted by the American Eagle. Upon the face also appears the words 'tVocational Agriculture and the letters F. F. A. The main activities of this organization are Father and Son Banquet, Exhibits at fair, Outing, Corn Husking, Contests, F. F. A. Play, and other minor activities such as giving parties, and attending the district meetings. Agricultural Iudging Contest at North Platte A group of seventeen boys and Mr. Vose made their annual pilgrimage to North Platte to participate in the state high school judging contest April 9 and 10. Although our teams did not bring home as many ribbons as usual, the boys did very well considering that the competition was the keenest it has ever been. The following boys brought home honors. Dan Gengenbach and Drexel Kuskie, first place in grain grading: Elmer Cooper, brst in the babcock test: jerry Sejkora, second in woodworking: Robert Peterson, fourth individual in dairy products: and a team composed of Paul Kemling, Glenn Stevens, and Robert Peterson placed fourth in dairy products. Mr. Vose has maintained one of the outstanding agriculture departments of the state and considering that there were twenty-three towns competing, we feel that the winning of two first places in the ten events is something to be proud of.

The Girls' Glee Club is composed of thirty-one members and the Boys' Glee Club of twenty-nine members with Mr. Ptacek as the instructor of both clubs. Both of these organizations were taken to the District Music Contest held at North Platte the third and fourth of April where the boys received excellent and the girls good. These organizations were also in the S. P. V. A. Music contest but placings were not known at the time this went to press. BOYS, GLEE CLUB cm1936fn ff 24 S +P. C. H. BAND These pictures represent the P. C. H. S. Band and Orchestra. There are ap- proximately ninety-five members in these two organizations with Mr. Ptacek as the instructor. These organizations participated in the District Music Contest and each received a rating of good. Many members of the band will think back with a twinkle in their eyes at the razzing racket that old P. C. H. S. made on the football field when they got pepped up. Rah! Rah! These organizations with the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs gave two musicals during the year for financing the music department. One of these was given at the Grant Theater and free to the public. The organization also sponsored a show for the purpose of buying music racks for the band and orchestra. ORCHESTRA l 9 3 of eeeeeeeee eeee e be HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The aim of the Home Economics Club is to further the interest in home eco- nomics and its relationship to the home. More than ever before a direct connec- tion between the home and school is needed. Active and efficient leaders are developed among the women for home and community life and social activities are provided through the organization. Each year definite activities approved by the State Association, based on the ideals of professional mindedness, service to others, healthfulness, alertness to future, friendliness, respectfulness to leaders, attractiveness in dress and interna- tional mindedness are carried out. The birthday on December 3 of Ellen Richards, founder of home economics, is customarily observed with a tea, luncheon, or banquet. In the program for the year hikes are planned and gifts of thanksgiving are sent to many people. The Future Farmers Association and Home Economics Club plan an exchange of parties and a faculty-student party is given in Septem- ber. Club meetings which any girl with one year of home economics may attend are held semi-monthly. The Perkins County Home Economics Club is affiliated with the State and National Home Econom- ics associations from which helps and aids are re- ceived. A national convention for all home eco- nomics people is held annually. The officers at present are Eleanor Norman, Presi- dentg Elaine Pillard, Vice-President, Geraldine Hen- dricks, Secretary, Doris Stout, Treasurer: and Claudia Nomer, Publicityg Dorothy Tharp, Pep Leader. The organization has been active for the past five years with Lela Brown, jane Bell, Betty Keller, Valerie Dodge, Patty Owen, and Gladys Kent as past presi- ESTHER M. Bow: dents. an o is A 26 tc. H. GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves, comprising only the girls of the three upper classes, are in their sixth year with a membership of forty-one. The crew is made up of Betty Keller, President: Frances Has- tings, Vice-President: Ardis f Price, Secretary: Virginia Mc- l Bmw J, WOODS Grath, Treasurer: Mabel Stry- MMM B- WALTERS ker, Librarian: Miss Woods and Mrs. Walters, faculty advisers: and Mrs. H. O. Bixler and Miss Margaret Jack- man, workshop leaders. The social calendar for the year began with the annual All High School Girls' Tea, in which the ship was used as the theme. A Vesper Recognition Service was held on a Sunday in October. Other social events were a Christmas Carolling P ' ' ' ' arty, a St. Patrlck s tea for the mothers: an Easter program in the assembly: and the traditional May Breakfast for the seniors. To balance their budget, the Girl R 'V ' eserves sponsored a Community Stunt Nlght. When a girl joins the Girl Reserves she becomes a part of the reserve force of the world-wide Young Women's Christian Association. The three sides of the triangle represent the developing personality of the girl in body, mind, and spirit, and the circumscribed circle symbolizes the girl's world. As she develops and improves herself in body, mind, and spirit, the triangle of her personality grows and causes the circle, her world, to expand. just as the Hknights in the days of old saw a vision of the Holy Grail and fol- lowed the gleam, Girl Reserves today have a vision of service and enter upon their quest Hto find and give the best.

The normal training class is composed of those juniors, seniors, and postgradu- ates who wish to prepare themselves for the teaching profession. The class of 1935-6 is composed of seven juniors, ten seniors, and two postgraduates. Two classes of work are taught, t'reviews and pedagogy or teaching methods. One year the reviews class composed of both juniors and seniors takes arith- metic geography book-keeping, and drawing: every other year reading, grammar, penmanship, and spelling. Thus these two yearsl work alternate. These classes are more than reviews, containing methods of teaching as well as review. Pedagogy is a full year senior course dealing with teaching problems and methods. It considers such problems as lesson planning, teaching the child how to study, child psychology, and character education. One week of 'Tractice what you preach work is j spent in a rural school during which each senior nor- mal trainer teaches about ten classes under the regular teacher's supervision. As the normal trainer receives her teaching certif- icate, she will have a well rounded knowledge of her work being required to pass state examinations in seventeen subjects as well as two full years of inten- , sive preparation.
