Miss Bobbie McNeal In the fall of 1946 one hundred and thirty-six green stars shot into the building of PCHS to begin their adven¬ tures in high school. Marshall McIntyre was chosen president to give a “Fresh start. In our second year Mary EttaKoss led us upward as “Silly Sophomores . We seemed to be getting bolder aswe participated in more extra-carricular activities. Our team came out on top in the ’48 state basketball tourney. When we were “Jolly Juniors , Joan Bommerscheim was our president, BeJo Ritter, our Vice-President, headed our well planned prom. Our deep apprecia¬ tion is due Miss McNeal, our sponsor. “Sophisticated Seniors and proud of it. President Bill Keene’s red ray of light led us to the top step of the stair¬ way to the stars.
