Imam, 13 AVL-gf ff 6-ff. The adults of the district have learned to suppress their civic ambitions to the needs of the school district. Although the goal is to get everyone to think 'four school,', there are many who still think of the Pewitt School as Mthe school. ln writing of his personal experiences as the first superintendent of the Pewitt School District, Mr. Bean spoke of himself in a partly humorous, and partly serious. vein as 'lsitting in the cross fire on the high- way between two towns with two telephone companies, two banks, two postoffiees, and two of everything but dollars . . . trying energetically to do a job described as uclimbing a bois d' are tree with a wildcat under each arm. The only reason for looking backward is to prepare for the years ahead. ln the second decade the Pewitt Schools will see continued growth in numbers and in area. Some neighboring schools will join us. There will be cinders added to the track, PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIA TION The ladies of the P.T.A. are also faithful workers for school improvement. Mmes. C. H.

Brown George Frost .lackie Walker Our School Board is not seen by our students in everyday school life, yet the school could not function without it. The members give many hours of their time freely to enable our community to have a better. more efficient school system. a new band building erected, the stadium will be reseated, the School wing will have a new roof, and an additional trophy case will be built and filled with awards including Z1 District Cham- pionship in Football and Basketball. The second decade at Pewitt will be a time of increased emphasis on scholarshipg the school day and tl1e school year will be longerg more home work, and higher standards for school work will be required. To accommo- date this trend. the school will spend much more on teaching aids, library materials, and visual aids. Fourteen years of public free school will be provided for Pewitt Students. From 1960 to 1970 much of the same essentials will continue. Boys will be aware of girls, and girls will be happy that such is the case. Some will seek happiness -through pleasure. and others will try to find it in success. Nations and ideologies will rise and fall, but Pewitt School will go on forever.

Xl? s 1, ,y Q Q 1 Ar fQts I tl 2 Patsy McNatt advertises Round-Up Day. The story of our year begins in March, 1959, continued through February. 1960. As soon as the new staff was organized, the advertising campaign began. Next, plans for Round-Up Day were an- nounced daily, and posters were tacked everywhere, even on the ceiling. More yearbooks were sold on this first day of sales thai ever before. Each yearbook purchaser had an opportunity to vote for Round-Up Sweetheart. Each year the staff seeks new ideas for improvement. With this thought in mind, the yearbook, and paper staffs attended a journalism conference on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Many D07s7' and Don'ts in modern journalism were discussed. As a result, a few of the 'gDon,ts,' have been omitted. taff SEATED: Sandra Moore, Elizabeth Bryan, Emma .lean Pal- more, Sue Anthony.
