- eeeeeee P. C. H. s. aeae as TRACK I From left bo right: Harold Stevens, Earnest Price, Franklin Cox, Clayton Witt, Burdette Cox, Cecil Pierpoint, Charles Tharp. Dan Hudson, George Gengenhach, Virgil Frey, and Mr. Haenfler. Track, tennis, and golf are also included in the athletic program. The last two years P. C. 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. ' 'g: '?:':g,g:j1 Q 3 18

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.
