The Benkleman game was the 'I95I heartbreaker as this was the only game of the season that we Iost. The final score was 7-0. The Plainsman got off to a good start when a 80 yard touchdown was run on the kickoff against Trenton. The resulting score was 47-7. Although the Chappell game was played in a driving snowstorm, the fans witnessed a thriller with a score of 20-0. We disappointed the Wauneta players by romping over them 24-0 in o hard fought game. In the last few minutes of the game, Culbertson threatened our goal on the one foot line, but the Plainsman were able to hold them for a victory of 34-0. The Ogallala-Grant score was 37-0 the most decisive defeat ever handed to the Indians by theirtroditional rivals.

Most of the games we lost were very close. The Frenchman Valley Tournament was the highlight of the season, losing to Wau- neta in the finals 54-52, therefore we received the second place trophy. Mike Lehl and Roger Barry were chosen for the Frenchman Valley All-Conference Team. At the end of the season Alvin Lehl was chosen as the captain of the year. A trophy was given to Mike Lehl by Mr. Dutcher for hitting the highest per cent of his free shots. We only played one night in the South Platte Valley Tournament and the Class C Tournament losing them both by very close mar- gins. Mike Lehl was high point man for the year with 222 points, Lloyd Bolton was second with 218 points. 21 Basketball 9' LX X 4 1 W' 98 7,3 J 1 JK1' 1 fi, 7, -f ,J V, ,, If 1 ' A, .1 -.,a, f, f, v f f 1 ff A111 uf' 51747 - f fy- V .IJ , A L'fff0W'f'3 ii-'nf -412, ,ffl f ' ff K 9,11 f2fJ.,,5 t M ,jff V yfbcj J gag fbMff4MMM ,f ff fQAe'f 4L v ' if .

We want to congratulate the Colleen and Crowner of 1951-52, Betty Stout and Alvin Lehl. Betty is vice-pres. of Y-Teens and has been a Plainsmen Cheer Leader the past 2 years. She has lot of ump and pep which is needed for backing a good school. Her smile and personality have won her the honor of being crowned 1952 Colleen. Crowner Alvin Lehl has been very popular through all of his school years. He has been outstanding in athletics and all other school activities. Because of his friendliness and co-operation in the school he is very worthy of being chosen 1952 crowner. First Attendants were Beth Stout and Roy Wheeler. Second Attendants were ldonna Russell and Jerry Slagle. A friendly smile and a pleasant hi are known of Beth as she passes by. Beth is very outstanding in all school activities and we were very proud to have her as the Dist. Y-Teen Pres. last year. She is Y- Teen President this year and she has certainly helped to set up a good program for our club. We feel she is very worthy of this honor. Roy Wheeler is popular wherever he goes. His sense of humor always shows. He's full ofpep, he's full of fun, That was the vote for attendant One. We are happy that ldonna was chosen for this honor, first, because she is from the Eastern part ofthe county, second, because she has chosen P.C.H.S. for her school. ldonna is a scholastic student and has taken part in many school activities. Jerry needs no introduction. His smile and wit speak for themselves. He has attended school in Grant all 12 years and has been very active in all school activities. 'ln Social Events 9 This is the first year we have had Freshman lnitiation. Each freshman had to dress up to represent some person. They had to wear the costumes all day.

I 37 Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of I952 We, the sophisticated Seniors of 1952 being at the age of blank years and of questionable age, being unusual, but possessing a mind, and not under too many cares or responsibilities. without fear or regard for man or beast iwith certain exceptionsi publish, write, scribble, scratch, and record this to be our last will and testament in the manner following, that is to say: First: We direct that the class be graduated or cremeated as one. Second: We direct that our executor of the will, Superintendent E. Lee Todd, pay all the unpaid bills left by all the Seniors. Jhird: We will and direct all our unused ambition, talent, time, and effort to the Sophomore class. They wi need it. Fourth: We give, direct, and devise all the rest of our unwordly property, residue and remains of any nature whatsoever to be equally divided among all the freshmen. Charlotte Sexson and Beverly Coppersmith hereby will to Jess Michael, their ability to type 70 words a minute-or even ten-in hope that he will not give up his typing all in vain. Richard Styskal wills his never failing experience in playing hookey to Warren Robinson, wishing him the best of luck in his future attempts.

Any other earthly goods, or wordly remains belonging to the Seniors of 1952 and found inthe vicinityof dear old P.C.H.S., we will to the custodian Elmer Cox. He can have it!!! Prophecy of i952 The other day we dropped in on Mr. Dutcher, who now lives in Chicago. We sat down to talk, or try to talk because with all his little brats, ah rather children, l think there were seven or eight, there was so much noise. He told us that not long ago he had been reading an old Tribune Sentinel, and had read an as l article which brought back memories of the class of '52 of P.C.H.S. He told us he then decided to look up Mr. Elsen and see how many of the senior class they could find. He found Mr. Elsen in Washington, D.C. as head of the Dept. of Agriculture. Mr. Elsen decided he would be able to take a few days off to go with Mr. Dutcher. Starting in Washington they found Richard Jackman as Congressman from Nebraska. They had a chat with him and found he plans to run for President in the next election. They heard rumors that a few of the class had gone to New York City. lt was supper time when they arrived in New York so they went to the Stork Club and found Archie Silvrants as owner. lt seems he took the Jr.-Sr. banquet theme serious, Starlight Room of the Stork Club. The floor show proved interesting as they noticed several familiar faces among the chorus girls. They were Mary Jane Cox, Shirley Eppler, and Donna Ahlmeyer. It was getting late so they went to the Waldorf-Astoria for the night. The bell-boy was called to take the bags and when they turned around who do you think it was, Ronny Woitalewicz, scrambling all around. His mother had told us he was connected with some high position of a noted hotel, but you know how things get stretched, especially with Ronny involved. ln the paper the next morning we read that Ronny was suffering an eye iniury. He got stuck with a hat-pin while looking through a keyhole. They got plane passage to Paris. When the pilot came through the plane they noticed something familiar, but didn't quite recognize him. After flying for some time they got to thinking about it and knew it must be Danny Borowski. They always thought he was a little dizzy fwe mean he got dizzy when flyingl but l guess he got over that. After landing in Paris they went to an exclusive dress shop to buy something for their wives. The models came out in dashing Paris fashions and among them was Donna Smith, one of the most alluring beauties. Oh what Paris has done for herl Well it looks like Lloyd finally popped the question, they saw Gladys and Lloyd on their honeymoon in London. Hasn't changed much since high school, it still takes Lloyd a long time to make up his mind. The next stop was India where they found Dean Ayers. His clarinet really gave him good experience and he got to be a real good clarinetist. He's quite a charmer now days, that is, snake charmer. Leaving lndia they went to China. On the street they saw a sign Learn your etiquette at the Wilson Parlor. They went in to find Rex teaching the correct etiquette of using chop-sticks. lt looks like you ended up a long ways from Texas. They booked passage to Hawaii on an exclusive liner. They heard a rich-society lady was on board so were very anxious to meet her. At dinner they saw her and to their surprise found it was Delores Harbeson. She told them she was going ta Hawaii to see an old school- mate. ln Hawaii she took them to a small village where a dance ceremony was going on. There they saw Mary Ann Brunner as the village hula dancer. Climate certainly can change people. At last they decided to fly back to the United States and landed at San Francisco. They heard one of the class was located near here, at Alcatraz. They went out there to try to see the warld's No.'l criminal,Gerry Schilling, but they said he was too dangerous and the only person who could get near him was his sweet little wife who spent patient hours consoling him, J. G. They proceeded on to Hollywood to visit the motion-picture industry. They got to see the show The Villain Strikes Again with Jesse Deaver in the main role. They went to another stage show and saw Beverly Coppersmith starring in Giggling Gal from Grant. In the evening they went to the NBC Radio program, Chick's Classy Clique with Charlotte conducting her famous dance band. What was that noise, sounded iust like an atom bomb falling. lt was the band's singer, Barbara Stout, who is a famous blues singer. She was singing Baby lt's Cold Outside, Anyone would be cold in an outfit like she had on! And we thought she was modest! They then decided to go to Reno to watch the gamblers but didn't expect to see any P.C.H.S. kids there. The first person they saw was Richard Styskal with his diamond studs. He said he had been so successful as a professional gambler that he was now a millionaire. The next day while driving along the highway in Arizona they saw someone walking. They stopped to give him a ride and found it was Darrell Hagan, first-class bum. He's taking life free and easy. They drove to New Mexico for the night and stayed at a large resort dude ranch. Next morning they found it was owned by Alvin and Mrs. Lehl, better known to us as Betty Stout. Doesn't look like Betty got much use of her normal training except to teach her own kids. As they started for Nebraska they saw a wreck. ln the newspaper the next day they read Wanda is the causeof another person's wreck and ruin. Roy prominent telephone lineman and his would be wife, Wanda, collided with a telephone post, which iust goes to prove a lot of auto wrecks are caused by the driver hugging the wrong curves. On way to Nebraska, they were caught in Utah speeding and were taken to the traffic court. They found Francis Watkins,a woman iudge. She remembered them, Dutcher and Elsen, as her old hard-boiled school-teachers and fined them SSO. They proceeded on to Denver and stopped to shop. ln a department store where they saw Jerry Slagle behind the women's girdle counter. The sign read Just because the world is out of shape is no sign you have to be. They proceeded on to dear little P.C.H.S. in Grant and went to the school first. There were quite a few changes and among them was Richard Llein. He had become superintendent of the school. He must have likedthe office pretty well. They visited some of the classes and found Vona Jean still struggling away. Maybe she shouldn't have let Madrid interfer so much with her school work. She told them she still took normal training and really liked the teacher. They found out the teacher was Miss Russell, ldona to us. She said she had always likes Miss Loukota so well she thought she would pattern her life after her. They started on towards Elsie where they went to the Witt's farm. Mrs. Witt, Beth Stout, came out to greet them. Behind her tagged four children. They heard one of the children ask Beth if those were the old bags she always talked about, and Beth said it wasn't them, but some others.l' The next stop was Omaha where they located Anita Gengenbach. They found her sitting on the porch ofa very stately looking mansion, and to their surprise found it to be an old maid's home. Just because you were against one guy so much, doesn't seem like you should have been against all of them. ln Des Moines, Iowa, they stopped for the state bathing beauty contest. There were all sizes of contestants and among them they found Jane Lance, Carolyn Terry, and Pauline Boehmer. Ah! what beauty they displayed. There was also a carnival there, so they went down to the midway. A barker at Ripley's Believe lt or Not tent was telling about a freak girl. The poster of her looked so familiar they went in. Inside they saw that it was Shirley Slagle. Never thought she looked that odd before. On the way back to Washington they stopped off at Pittsburgh and found Claudette and David in the iron and steal business. Claudette irons while David steals. Finally they arrived back in Washington, D.C. and went to see the President but was told he was busy with some noted society lady. It seems that Shirley Pankinon is carrying on a rendezvous with the President. As all things must come to an end, so did their trip and Mr. Elsen bid Mr. Dutcher good- bye as Don left for Chicago. 39 X AX? lx QW ml i sr 1 ,I , , ,I . i A.
