E E I 00 Brue mer-Hiller-Sponsors Sherwood-Schounard Schounard Thurow-Lemke-Hein-Coppens Whrneoke-Peterson-Bro1nrBarrstt Johnson le, the staff me bers of the 1949 Peshcocan, on behalf of the Senior Class, wish to present this annual to you as our final class project before leav- ing high school. Since we graduate in 1949 ourlthoughts travel back one hundred years to the gold miners of 1849, and we may compare ourselves to them. They found their wealth in the ground after going after it with pick, shovel, and physical effort. We were miners in a different sense: we searched through textbooks for knowledge, our wealth, and found it with mental effort. In looking over past annuals we noticed that they were based upon such impor- tant themes as the Wisconsin Centennial, Peshtigo High School's golden jubilee celebration, and the end of lorld War ll. Although we had no such spectacular events to celebrate, we are not envious: we did have the privilege of four calm and enjoyable years of high school to prepare us for our future careers. We wish to thank Kiss Brown for her guidance and help in making this Annual possible, and the school board, our spo sors, and lr. Baker for their co- operation and support. le are grateful to Irs. Houlette for supervising the art work and to Ken Archambault for the drawing he made. Our special thanks go to the faculty for their understanding and leadership during our four years of high school. 5
