The Pickford High School Band is expected to play at Arm Arbor, Michigan during band day next fall: Good Luck!

The 1955 Panther football team was built around a large nucleus of returning veterans. The conference standings were five wins, zero losses. Two non-conference wins rounded off the Panther schedule. This gave the Pickford team a nine game winning streak and first in the little eight conference for the 1955 season. Ierry Froman and Don Stevenson made the all Conference first team. Iaynce Leach and Bill Wallis made the second team, while Taylor, Fountain, and Ames made honorable mention. Iaynce Leach established a new school record for the most conversions after touchdowns. Donald Stevenson broke the old school records for the most passes attempted and the most passes completed. The team also established a record for the most points scored in a season, 404. Cross-Countr Team FIRST ROW: Left to Right: Dave Taylor, Dave Fountain, Don Stevenson, Bill Wallis, Roger Wahl, Iaynce Leach.

Pickford entered cross-country, for the first time this year. None of the boys on the team had ever been at a cross-country meet before, but this did not stop them from winning the class C, D, E, Upper Penninsula Championship. Cross-country is a very grueling two mile race run over trails and hills. Scoring is based on the basis of one point for the winner two points for second place and so on. Each team is allowed seven men. The team with the lowest number of points wins the meet. Pickford won the meet with 28 points while Rapid River placed second with 43 points.

The basketball team had one of its poor seasons finishing in sixth place in the Little Eight Conference. The 1955-56 addition of the team had the second best offensive average that any former Pickford team ever had, but its defensive average, the worst of any Pickford team, tells the story why so many games were lost. Don Stevenson is the team's leading scorer, averaging about 20 points per game. Duane Ames is second in scoring. Duane also has the team's best shooting average. This page was presented by I. C.

SECOND ROW: Coach Ken O'Connor, Gerald Leach, Wayne Harrison, Don McConkey, Barry Sims, lim Lockhart, Bernard Laloie, Statistician lim Batho, Student Manager, Milford Galer. The B's have had one of their most successful seasons in many years. The team has been very successful on its own floor. The team lost more away games than home games, but this can be expected. The ability to play on opponents courts comes with experience. The members of the team gained much experience, which will be of great help when they move to the varsity in the coming years.

The team also won the Little Eight Conference Track Championship with ease. Returning letter winners on this year's track team are as follows: Bill Wallis, Don Stevenson, Iim Roe, Dave Fountain, Carl Dosenback, Dave Taylor, Iaynce Leach, Reg Rye, Edwin Stevenson, Ted O'Brien, Bill Clegg, Roger Wahl, Gerald Wallis, Don McConkey, and Ronnie Leach.

On September 6, 1955, we entered high school as Seniors. We had an enrollment of twenty-nine with Mr. Robert Howell as our class advisor. We elected our class officers as follows: President, Dave Taylor: Vice-President, Don Stevenson: Secretary, Glenda Rutledge: Treasurer, Ethel Iohnson: Student Council, Sandra Rye, Lyle Hill and Dave Fountain. The first of September we received our class rings. Receiving our rings made us feel more like'Seniors. On October 6, 1955, we had our pictures taken at St. Iohn's studio in the Soo. Io Storey was chosen as our carnival queen candidate this year and we are happy to say she was crowned. Sandra Rye, Gwen Batho and Arla lean Hill were chosen for cheerleaders. On November 10 and 11, we presented our Senior Play, The Boarding House Reach, with Mr. Robert Howell as our director. After the play both nights we had a bake sale. The class has worked for the trip by selling at football games, basketball games and bake sales. We sold Christmas cards, the birthday calendar, and basketball pencils. Our class sponsored the Donkey Basketball Game. Our plays were important events in helping toward our trip. During our Senior year we gained Deanna Metkiff. In May the class was taken on Skip Day by the Iuniors. The week of May Z0 is graduation week. It begins Stmday night, May 20 with Baccalaureate: Tuesday night, May 22 with Class Night: Thursday night, May 24, the one to fulfill our hopes, Graduation: and Friday night, May 25, the Alumni Prom.
