Miss Emma E, Cetzie Pinckneyville Community High School will never be forgotten by many of us students. We will always recall the many pleasant and happy things that occurred during our careers at P.C.H.S. None of us will ever forget those basket- ball and football games, the hurrying and scurrying between classes, the line at the fountains waiting for a drink, the green Freshmen, plays, assembly programs and the teachers. Four years travel very fast even if at certain times they seem to be at a standstill. Every Senior who graduates from P.C.H.S. will carry with him his own special memories to store away for future life. May the 1946 Pyramid aid those memories.

In the four years that have passed, we have seen Freshmen enrolled and Seniors graduated. Now it is our time to graduate. When we were Freshmen, our one desire was that we could be Seniors, and now that we are Seniors we wish we were Freshmen again. Pleasant and happy things. have happened during our career in P.C.H.S. Our Freshman year, Peggy' Stone, our candidate for Carnival Queen, was elected maid of honor. Harry House represented the Fresh- man class on the Student Council. Bill Pundsack, Iona Hoffman and Virginia Schilling proved themselves capable in debate. Our Sophomore year, Bill Pundsack was elected President of the Forensic Club. Peggy Kuykendall and Don Jones were cast in the Homecoming play. During the Junior year, Roberta McCrary was elected one of the cheer leaders. Under the capable leadership of Betty Ann Heisner, the prom sponsored by the Juniors was one of the best ever held at P.C.H.S. The Junior play, In Walked Judy, starring Junior Cole and Bill Timpner, was a huge success. Now our final year is here. Junior Cole was elected President of the Student Council, Norma June Cunningham was appointed Editor of the Sphinx, .Io Bailey was elected President of Hi-Tri, Everett Caupert was elected President of Hi-Y, Eula Mae Heape was appointed Editor of the Pyramid, Peggy Kuykendall was elected President of Black Masque, Roberta McCrary was elected President of the Home Economics Club, Bobbie Armstrong was elected President of the Pep Club, and Frances McDonnough was appointed Drum Major. The Senior class started this year under the capable leadership of Mrs. Billie Berg. When Mrs. Berg resigned from the faculty, the Seniors elected Mrs. Mary Burgess, who shouldered our burdens and shared our pleasures until graduation.

Army, for it was then that Red Hundley received his Greetings from the President. His position as tackle on the football team was a hard one to fill, because Red was a coach's ideal lineman. He proved his value to the team in the DuQuoin-Pinckneyville battle of '44. The expression around school Was: Red,s in the Army, so the War Won't last long now. At the present, Red is doing occupation duty on Mindanao, P. I. He is taking high school courses, hoping to return to school and receive his diploma. The Class of '46 takes this opportunity to Wish Red the very best of luck, with the hope that he' will soon be back home, attending P.C.H.S., and helping us defeat the Indians. Page Twenty-three IN MEMORIAM 1 H LGWELI. EUGENE TAYLOR MARCH 28, 1928 APRIL 16, 1945 His ideas were associated with every charm of nature, we hear his voice in the echo which he once delighted to wakeng his spirit haunts the grove which he once frequented, we think of him in the wild upland solitude or amidst the pensive beauty of the valley. In the freshness of joyous morning, we remember his beaming smiles and bounding gayetyg and when sober evening returns with its gathering shadows and subduing quiet, We call to mind many a twilight hour of gentle talk and sweet- souled melancholy. Each lonely place shall him restore For him the tear be duly shed Beloved, till life can charm no more And mourned till ourself be dead. -Washington Irving Page Twenty-four WILL Phyllis Akre leaves her singing ability to Dorothea Koontz.

As usual, during the Hi-Tri and Hi'-Y initiations, the girls and boys entertained the school for several days with their ridiculous styles of clothing and hair. The Freshmen were the guests of honor at a party given for them by the Sophomores. These Freshmen, timid in the beginning, learned to take their place among the students of P.C.H.S. We know that these boys and girls will be an asset to the school in the next three years and that they will participate more and more in the activities at P.C.H.S.

They chalked up two wins and two ties. There were five returning lettermen: Bill Pundsack, Bob Hitt, Gene Morgenstern, Frank Brown and Bob Mann, who was elected Captain by the squad. These fellows provided the starting back- bone for the team. Although the team was, on the average, a little lighter than their opponents, they gave plenty of stiff competition. The Panther Eleven started the season off with a bang by holding Murphysboro to a 0-0 tie. The feat the team is most proud of is the scalping they gave the DuQuoin Indians for the third consecutive year. The final score was 12-6. Ten senior lettermen, Benny Ballheimer, Elias Kellerman, Everett Caupert, Vallie West, Arthur Schwartzkopf, Bob Hitt, Gene Morgenstern, Bill Pundsack, Frank Brown and Bob Mann, are leav- ing, but there will be eight returning lettermen, Douglas Craig, Jack Lazenby, Don Williams, Don McCrary, Duane Kelley, David Davis, Bob Uhe and Bill Williams, next year. We are expecting these boys to make up the greater part of a successful eleven.

In the Sparta Freshman-Sophomore Invitational Tournament they defeated Waterloo and Redbud, but were defeated in the third game by Freeburg, who won the tournament.

These representatives are elected by their respective club or class. The Student Council is the governing body of all the school activities. All school affairs must be approved and passed by this body. Money to finance this organization is donated by the different organizations. One annual activity of this organization is Homecoming, and the Council presented a very successful program this year. Homecoming was a larger affair this year because so many P.C. H.S. graduates had returned from service overseas and in the States. The celebration consisted of a parade, the football game and a dance in the gym, which was well attended. The Council is also purchasing mirrors for all the restrooms in the school. The oflicers for this year were as follows: President . . .. Junior Cole Secretary . ....

The motto of this organization is: We build the ladder by which we rise.', It's aims are to create character, friendship, cour- tesy, pleasure, and success and thus establish friendly and lasting relationships between the girls. Meetings were held on the first and third Thursdays of every month. Discussions were held and other entertainment was provided. No dues were collected in this organization. Last year, girls wearing big hats, dresses with the hems hanging out in the back, a sign around their necks, all kinds of jewelry, galoshes, large quantities of rouge with no other make- up, baby rattlers tied around their waists, and with hair as straight as possible were seen in the halls of P.C.H.S. These girls were being initiated into Hi-Tri. Later a formal Ceremonial was held for the new members. This Ceremonial was held to show the new members that there is a serious side to Hi-Tri as well as a lighter side.

Page Sixty-three PEP CLUB Miss Bobbie D. McNeal Sponsor School spirit and pep reached an all-time high this year with five new cheerleaders and one returning cheerleader. Led on by these six lively and energetic ladies, the Pep Club spurred the teams on to many victories. Since live of the '45 cheerleaders were graduated last spring, a committee elected five new girls and one substitute. Roberta McCrary, a lovely red-headed Senior, was a member of last year's group and her experience helped to make the cheerleaders what they were. The five new girls were: Bonnie Neville, Jean Hawkins, Ramona Steele, Betty Reel and Alice Templeton. Bonnie Neville, with blond hair, blue eyes and a smile for everyone, and Jean Hawkins, a brown-haired little lass with plenty of pep were Seniors. Ramona Steele, a curly-haired gal with a big smile, and Betty Reel, a slim, carefree girl with light brown hair, were Juniors. Alice Templeton, a pretty, little black haired girl, was the Freshman member of the sextette. The substitute cheerleader chosen was Patty Dougan, an attractive and peppy Junior. Many boys also participated in this club. These boys proved to be a big help in raising the roof at the games and pep meetings.
