' f 1 Fi We pause a moment to pay tribute to a loyal group of men known as the Board of Education of P. C. H. S. Board of Much credit is due these men for the way they have , so freely given of their time and thought in order to pro- ucatzon vide us with good and efficient leadership in our faculty, as well as modern equipment and methods throughout our school. It is the earnest desire of the friends and students of this school that our school continue to progress each year. Of these board members it may justly be said that they have done their best in directing this progressive work. lift fn Rlxqflfz lawrence l,ee Qseeretaryl, George Benedict, Arthur Seherle, lirnexr iieistdoerfer, lf. ll.lI'llC, llarold lfarmer lallorneyj, .fXd.im Kellerman qpresidentj, Roland Keene fprineipalj. if ir 'A' if 'lr t 'k ul' 'A' 'A' 'lr 'lr ir 'lr 'k 'A' Our Princqml Leader in The American Way of Life . xxuwf V ylle a Yknckney ROLAND E We are proud of our principal, Mr. Keene. His progressive mind, character, and sound judgment have won the respect and admiration of every student. He is more than a leader in the high school. He is a leader and an example in the American way of life: His life is proof that the store house of success is education, preparation, concen- tration, and perspiration, yet he finds time to be a friend to each student.

SENIORS CLASS HISTORY E In the fall of 1937, a class of 114 timid OJ little freshmen enrolled in P. C. H. S. Miss Florence Rathert was chosen class sponsor and Bob Crawford class president. When we were two years old, we elected Mr. Hugh Malan as our class sponsor and Bob Bartle as president. Besides having our fall and spring picnics, we entertained the freshmen at the freshman-sophomore party. At the age of three we began to feel more grown-up. After all, we were then upper- classmen. Bob Crawford, our freshman president, was again the popular choice for presi- dent and Mr. Ragland was our junior sponsor. In our last year in high school, the crowning glory of our four years, Hubert Shurtz was elected president of the senior class, Austin Carter, vice-president, Don Robb, secre- tary, Betty Kelly, treasurer, and Mr. Morris, class sponsor. During our four years, we feel that we have claimed many people of whom we can be justly proud. First of all, three girls of our class have served as carnival queens, Dixie Sweatt, in 1938, Virginia Morganstern, who was also active in Pep Club as cheer leader, in 1939, and Betty Kelly, in 1940. Bob Quigley, of the Forensic Club, rated high as a debater and individual speaker and helped our school bring home many trophies and medals. Edna Mohr, also of our class, was president of the debate club in 1940-41. Not only does the class of '41 shine in intellectuals and social activities, but also in sports. Bob Bartle was captain of the football team when he was only a junior and Bob Crawford was captain when he was a senior. In basketball, there were six letter-men from our class in our junior year who were again fighting for P. C. I-I. S. this year. They are Killingsworth, Crawford, L. Schilling, Bartle, Livingston and F. Schilling. Out-of-town seniors who starred on the basketball team are Carter, of Cutler, and O'Keefe, of Tamaroa. Then on the tumbling team we had Don Robb, Alvin Bruns, and Floyd Rich. In all four years, we have always been well represented in the band and chorus, and for that matter, in every organization of the school. Please don't think we are bragging when we say we are proud of our class and the record we have laid down to look upon in years to come.

In November the band sponsored a Tag Dayv in which the members raised the sum of S135 and later an apron drive which netted about S40. This money has been used in buying and repairing instruments. As Well as playing at several of the football games, the band displayed their ability in forming letters on the foot- ball Held. They also took part in two music recitals dur- school has ever had.

The motto of the Hi-Tri is: We build the ladder by which we risef' Its aims are to cre- ate character, friendship, courtesy, pleasure, and success. The activities of the Hi-Tri included the initiation of the new members in the fall, a party given by the senior big sisters for their freshman little sistersn, the I-Ii-Y- Hi-Tri Christmas party, the annual tea, and the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet in the spring. The Hi-Tri girls also attended Older Girls' Conferences in the fall and in the spring. The Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls each had their own social activities through- out the year.

In the an- nual induction of new members, 27 boys pledged them- selves to live up to the four planks of the club's platform: Clean Scholarship, Clean Speech, Clean Living and Clean Athletics. Besides the usual Wednesday night meetings, the 60 members of the club enjoyed many social and several ath- letic events during the year. The three outstanding par- ties included a Hobo Hopu in the fall, a Hi-Y-Hi-Tri party at Christmas, and a Valentine party on February 12. A week previous to the Valentine party, the club at- tended a hockey game in St. Louis, and on April 24 crowned the year's activities with the fifth annual Father and Son Banquet. , Sponsors: Mr. Malan and Mr. McDaniel.

For the first time, boys were admitted to the club bringing the membership to about 5 0 and certainly proved to be a big help in raising the roof at some of the games and pep meetings. As well as the many new yells brought into use by the pep club this year, a song Here's to the Flag written by Thomas Danks, a former director of the town band, was introduced.

'A' al' ir ir 'Ir ir 'Ir 'Ir 'A' 'k 'k ir 'lr ir 'A' 'A' GRIDIRON WARRIORS E COACH McDANIEL-Mr. McDaniel's ability as a coach was proved by his devel- opment of some of the best players in the state, as well as the Conference. Hel also turned the entire team into one of the most formidable 'in this section. KNIGHT-Otto, although one of the lightest men on the squad, held down an end position because of his tackling and pass-catching ability. LIVINGSTON- Duke, the spark of the team, was an expert on playing and piling up interference around his end of the line. I-Ie was also an ace on pass-snatching. HEISLER- Bill, holding down a tackle position by virtue of his measly 230 pounds and general immobility, was one of the most spirited players on the team. BARTLE- Bob', alternated the season at tackle and halfback and did a noble job at both. This was his fourth year of Varsity competition. MANN- Artie was one of the stalwarts in the line at his guard position and made more than his share of tackles. SCHILLING--Louis, Li'l Abner, was undoubtedly one of the best defensive centers in the business, and many a backfield man was helped to his feet after making contact with Lumberin' Lou. XVIHL--Louie's passes from the pivot post left nothing to be desired, and although he lacked Schilling's weight, he was rated a better blocker. GEMMILL-Bob was an excellent blocker on offense and made more than his share of tackles on defense. EDWARDS-Donnie's speed and drive made him a terror both on offense and defense. He made more tackles behind the line of scrimmage than anyone else on the team. ROBB--Dean made up in spirit what hc lacked in weight, and developed into one of the best defensive guards in the Conference. SCHILLING- Slim made a good end both offensively and defensively because of his great height and reach. SHURTZ-Hubert spent the season playing at our left tackle position and the number five position in the enemy's backfield. There was less ground gained over his position than any other position in the line. CARTER-Fritz, in his first year of football, became one of the best blockers and ball-carriers on the team. BYER- Corky was, without doubt, the best blocking back on the team, and also contributed many substantial gains when called upon to carry the ball. BASS--Melvin's aggressiveness on defense, combined with his speed and power on offense, caused him to be feared by opponents. CRAWFORD-Bob, our captain, played a game more that worthy of his position. He was a real triple-threat back. LAZENBY-Harry, the smallest man on the squad, was one of the most elusive ball- carriers ever seen in action on our gridiron, and was almost always dependable for a good gain. In addition, Harry's southpaw passing arm caused the opposition plenty of trouble. QUIGLEY-Bob knocked down many passes, and he was especially good in defensive work. He did a nice job of blocking. 'A' 'k 'A' 'A' ir i' 'A' 'lr it 'k 'k 'k 'k 'A' 'A' 'k ul' 'Ir 'A' 'lr 'Ir 'lr 'Ir i' 'A' nk Football Season E The Panther's football team played the toughest schedule this year that they have played for many years. In spite of the fact that this year's team included some of the all-time greats of Pinckneyville foot- ball history, we did not have a too-successful season. Although we Won only four of the ten contests, our record was not due to a lack of will and spirit in the boys, who never once quit fighting or ad- mitted defeat. This fact was proved by the Way the team often pushed across scores in the closing minutes of the games, although they were seemingly beaten. Because the team suffered from a lack of reserve material and injuries incurred by some of the players during the season, our chances were ruined in some of our best games. Our record in the Conference games this year stood at one game Won and four lost, and we finished in fifth place. The Panthers came very close, however, to defeating both Murphysboro and Carbondale, and injuries to some of our outstanding players cost us the Anna- Jonesboro Game.

In the latter part of the season, the Panthers were victorious over DuQuoin and Carbondale, thereby gaining a tie for the Conference championship. Both of these teams had defeated the Panthers rather decisively earlier in the season. Another accomplishment of the Pan- thers was handing Marissa its only setback in its first twenty-nine starts. Our team got second place in our regional tournament but were eliminated in their first game at the sectional by the championship Centralia live. The team, under the able coaching of Mr. Thomas, finished the season with a record of 18 games won and only 10 games lost. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE THEY Nov. Campbell Hill 35 Dec. Vergennes . . . 18 Dcc.

Prospects for this year's team are very good. We have five letter- men from last year's. squad returning for duty. They are: Louis Schilling, conference record holder in both weight eventsg Francis Schilling, hurdlerg Bob Bartle, shot and discusg Bob Crawford, pole vaulter, and Melvin Bass, sprint artist. There are many others who, although they failed to earn a letter last year, showed much promise and are expected to fill in the gaps left by last year's graduates. April 11-Carbondale.

S Last year our golf team, placed third in the district meet which was held in Belleville, and Don Reid wonf first in individual ratings, leading the Held by live strokes.. This year we have every hope of sending a golf team to the state contest since we have all of last year's team back and many promising newcomers. The members of last year's team were Don Reid, Jack Schultz, Wfallace Noward and Donald Feltmeyer. The list of the other prospec- tive candidates includes Herbert Lee, Lester Wright, and Jim Stotlar. In addition to the district meet, which is held in May, Coach Rag- land expects to schedule interscholastic golf meets with other schools. S Intramural basketball showed the result of Mr. Ragland's exten- sive work with it this year. The games, which were played in the gym during the noon hours, attracted many spectators and showed the intense interest of the participants. Many of the undergraduate players will use the experience they gained in intramural basketball on Pinck- neyville varsity teams in years to come. The teams were generally well divided and matched, and many thrilling contests took place. S Last year our tennis team failed to place in the district meet held at Belleville. However, since nearly all of last year's team members are returning this year, Coach Ragland expects a much more successful season. The promising candidates for positions are Bob Crawford, Carl Hofman, Don Keene, 1. V. Lowe, Jack Keene, Bill Ulrich, and Otto Knight. S Pinckneyville's gym team will again entertain the best gym teams in the state at the state gym team meet this spring. The meet is expected to be better than ever this year because of the addition of several schools ini the competition. This year the gym team has been especially active in tumbling and on the parrallel bars. The team has given several exhibitions at home, and in addition, some members of the team put on a part of our exchange assembly program. The most outstanding men on the team are Don Robb and Alvin Bruns, co-captains, Robert Wesseln, Mervin Smith, and Harold Dehne.
