THE SENIOR EDITORS, ADVISORS, AND STAFF PRESENT TO YOU THE... %G ECHOES SCHOOL, FOR US IS NOT JUST THE BRICK BUILDING, BUT IT IS THAT DAILY RIDE ON THE BUS OR WALK UP THE FRONT STEPS. . . IT IS LEAVING WITH A BROADER KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOUR FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP, SERVICE, CHARACTER, AND SCHOLARSHIP... FOR SOME IT INVOLVES EAR- NEST STUDY. . . OTHERS REMEMBER THOSE MOMENTS OF DAYDREAMING... 2 SCHOOL IS ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS... CAREFREE WHIRLWINDS OF COLORFUL DANCES... IT ' S WORKING HARD FOR THAT SPELLING TROPHY • • • THE CHEERLEADERS... SCHOOL IS THE SENIORS AND ALL OF THEIR FUN THEY HAVE DURING THEIR LAST YEAR... OUR BASKETBALL QUEEN AND COURT... THE GAME... AND THE CHEERBLOCK. . . IT IS TRYING JUST A LITTLE HARDER TO LEARN IN THE CLASSROOM, TO GET ALONG WITH OTHERS IN THE HALLS, AND TO WIN OR LOSE GRACEFULLY ON THE GYM FLOOR. SCHOOL, FOR US IS THE MAIN INTEREST OF OUR TEENAGE YEARS. I am convinced that there will be some rough and rugged days ahead for each and every one of us. When those rough and rugged days come - as they are sure to --if you become afraid, scared or frightened, the odds are that you may be washed up, probably wiped out. However, I do hope that you will remember that if you meet these days with faith, enthusiasm, ambition, and resourcefulness, then 1 believe that every- thing is going to be all right, MR. R. V. REED, PRINCIPAL MRS. LOIS PORTER Mrs. Lois Porter is our school office secre- tary this year. We have enjoyed seeing her friendly face in the office. Karen Ringgenberg has been serving as an office assistant for us. KAREN RINGGENBERG 980, ...Have you really punched that many holes in our cafeteria tickets this week, Gary?

YONTZ SENIORS PRESIDENT DOUG GREGORY CLASS OFFICERS SECRETARY CAROL SUE TUTTLE VICE-PRESIDENT MIKE MINER This last year of our high school education has been a busy one, filled with fun, sports, club activities, and a lot of work. We spent much of our time trying to earn enough money to go on our long-awaited trip to Washing- ton. Remember the card sales and Jon Hoppus ' careful management of the concession ' s room and our after-game dances and our terrific football jerseys that Doug Gregory sold so many of with his wonderful sales pitch and those cake raffles we held during the half-time of the basketball games? Yes, we did a lot this year, and we were represented in nearly every organ- ization, sport, or club activity. Doug Gregory led our class. Bill Bailey led the Student Council, Carol Tuttle and Cheryl Rager led scholastically, and many of us led in the various clubs and activities. We are leaving P. H. S. , but we will remember the crowded halls, the long lunch line, the noon games, the fun, the students, the teachers, and, most of all, the knowledge we have gained here. The class of ' 66 is on its way, and we feel that Pierceton High School has prepared us well. TREASURER CHERYL ANN RAGER STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT BILL BAILEY 10 SHARON MARIE REGENOS JON A.

We were all thrilled to receive our class rings. Sharon Collier represented our class and was crowned Basketball Queen for the 1965-66 school year. Quite a few juniors participated in the Jr. -Sr. Play, and others took part in many clubs and athletic events this year. Our active class sold Rex , a soap, as their money making project for the year. There were many happy, thrilling, ex- citing, and even sad incidents that happened this year of 1966 that many of us will never forget.

Our basketball queen attendant for the class this year was Donna Linn, and her escort was Ronnie Smith. We had a class party at Susan Danner’s home. Records were played and everyone danced. Pizza, potato chips, and cokes were served. Everyone enjoyed themselves im- mensely. We are looking forward to or- dering our class rings, and next year we will be upperclassmen--at last.

Everyone thought it was so funny when we found out that Mr. Wett- schurack had to get a tetanus shot. It seems he got scratched up a bit in the pool splashing around. Sandy Mitchell was our queen attendant with Tom Barker as her escort. Several boys from our class played on the Jr. High basketball team which won the County Tourney. We really enjoyed having Mrs. Kaye- Smith and Mr. Wettschurack as our sponsors. We sure hope high school is as much fun as Jr. High has been for us. 27 Noma Bays Beth Biltz Steve Biltz Brenda Blair Linda Brandenburg Merla Bryant Charlene Busz Irwin Busz Keith Carlin Paul Carlin Kathy Caudill Colleen Collier Bernice Conley Carlyn Creekmore Ken Davis Henry De La Cruz Roy De La Cruz Leon Echterling Barbara English David Enyeart Mary Espinoza Roland Espinoza Blaine Farley Kathy Flora SEVENTH GRADE ENJOYS SKATING PARTY This is us- -the seventh grade. We began the year rushing to classes before the bell would ring, but now we have slowed down and school is really enjoyable. Our boys helped represent the school on the Jr. High sports’ teams. Everyone enjoyed our class party at the skating rink. Keith Carlin and Becky Logan are the class representatives on the Student Council this year. Susan Schuldt was our basketball queen attendant with Jeff Rager as her escort. Being a part of the Jr. High was a new experience for us and we are hoping to have even more fun and memorable moments next year.

In fact for the entire season they outscored their opponents 915 to 909, losing seven of their games by a TOTAL of 13 pts . , including two overtimes. As they learn to redistribute just a few of these points, they should become a good varsity team. They also hit 64% of their free throws, an outstanding mark for a B-team. Scoring was well-balanced, with six players averaging six to eight points per game .

VARSITY BASEBALL 1965 The baseball team will lose four of its starters to graduation this year. Bill Bailey, catcher; Art Obregon, shortstop; Doug Gregory, left field; and Richard Stickney, right field; have, in the past baseball seasons, made many outstanding contributions to the team efforts. During their four years of high school, the baseball team has won two county championships in which these young men have made major contributions. It was a young ball club this year, but the experience gained by the team should pay off next season.

After losing four of its top seven runners by graduation, this year ' s cross country team came back with one of the most impressive records ever made by a Pierceton High School team. Led by returning letertmen Mike Miner, Doug Gregory, and Dana Cone, the Cubs again set a record low score for the county meet by scoring twenty-four points. They then pro- ceeded to wrap up their season by winning the sectional meet at White ' s In- stitute and winning the first 1. H. S. A. A. trophy ever received by a P. H. S. team. It was truly a remarkable season for the cubs. Although we are losing three of our seniors, Doug, Mike, and Art, this year, we hope to come back with another winning team next year.
