OUR 76 TRIBUTE Four years ago a very special student began his high school career at P.C.H.S. Over the past four years this student has shown much courage and desire in achieving his goals. He has displayed his abundant intelligence by his high academic standing and creative writing. There have been many times that this young man could have given up, but he didn't — he kept right on going. The 75-76 Pyramid staff feels that he deserves recog nition, for it took quite a person to attain his accomplishments. We proudly dedicate the 76 Pyramid to a very special Senior GERALD ZIMMERMAN.

Our bicentennial Seniors of PCHS have been true leaders showing their great spirit of 76 in all of their activities. They've come a long way over 4 years and are very reluctant to leave, but I'm sure they've made many great marks at PCHS which will long be remembered. So as a salute to the Sen- iors the Annual Staff says GOOD BYE and GOOD LUCK to the Class of 76. Paula and Kathy have brushed their teeth — see?

The 1976 Prom was a success and an enjoyable evening for all who attended. This year’s theme was Chinatown and the servers who were dressed in oriental outfits topped off with coolie hats made the event excitingly realistic. The big change this year was, instead of hiring a band, a disc jockey was hired to provide the music for the evening. This new idea was well-liked and those who liked to dance seemed to enjoy it especially well. At this year’s coronation, Miss Dawn Hale was crowned 1976 Prom Queen and her escort was Steve Nehrkorn. Dawn and Steve's court included: 1st maid — Cindy Carter, escort — Randy Schrader; 2nd maid — Kathy Carter, escort — Roger Hagene; 3rd maid — Crystal Peradotto, escort — John Sronce.

The Panthers being one of them. Sparta gained the championship though as we had to take them on in the mud and the rain. The school thought that on a dry field Sparta would have been demolished The banquet at the end of the season saw two MVP's chosen instead of one. David Stanton and Donnie Stanton being the recipients of the trophy were picked by the team. These two players in spired the team, David with his verbal encouragement and Donnie with his passing. Joe Baker was chosen as Most Valuable Lineman on the squad by the other players. Although Joe had a tendancy to oe Dakar hold on-rushing lineman, he never quit. Steve Nehrkorn. with his reliable hands and solid blocking at the tight end position, was chosen as Most Improved. It was Steve who drew double coverage in the Chester game and took the pressure off of the other two receivers allowing them to get open. David Stanton was chosen as Best Defensive Back. David, the captain of the football team for the 1975 season, was in on most of the tackles the defensive unit was cred- ted with. Ray Porter was chosen as the Best Defensive Lineman. Ray started the year at defensive end but had to be switched to middle- guard when defensive problems arose. He filled n and played some excellent games at the position. Donnie “Duck” Stanton, the Panthers Q.B., was chosen as the Best Offensive Back He repeatedly connected; listed at 58’ he never Steve Nehrkorn Ray Porter trembled under pressure as his stats will show Coach Gary “Bear” Glenzy and Coach Roger Minton, although the players sometimes dis- Dave Stanton Donnie Stanton agreed, knew what was right for the team. Coach Glenzy took it upon himself as defensive co ordinator and really stuck it to the opposition Coach Minton took charge of the offense and as a result the Panthers scored almost twice as many points as their opponents. These two men stayed up many a night figuring out strategy and without this dynamic duo the 1975 Panther football season might have been a disaster SENIORS CHOSEN FOR POST-SEASON HONORS DON STANTON — Q.B.|, first Team Offense, All-Conference: picked All-Southern Illinois; Special Mention All-State.

Coach Corn not only gave the fans the enjoyment of watch- ing a well oiled machine in action but also another winning season as well. Along with the 20-8 win-loss record this year the Panthers under his Supervision add a consolation cham- pionship at the Edwardsville Holiday Classic along with a second place finish in the Benton Mid-Winter Invitational. The Southwest Egyptian Conference saw the Pincks take 2nd place The conference team saw 3 Panthers placed on it with junior Bill Putman at 6-6 named Most-Outstanding Player of the year Ray Winter and Donnie Stanton were the other 2 players placed on the conference team.

Although they didn’t have a winning record the season was high- lighted with some tournament placements: Ron Gerber placed third at Caterville while John Strolein placed third and Larry Lewis fourth at the Vandalia tourney. David Kuhnert had a very impressive year placing first at Carterville, third at Vandalia, second at District and fourth at Sectional. Coach Minton is looking forward to next year having the boys that wrestled this year with inexperience back with more knowledge and experience to have a good year next year. WRESTLING ‘15-76 Captains Kuhnert and Strolein talk it over with Coach Minton Doug HEINE AND LOUIS GO TO STATE This year’s track team, spurred on by the efforts of state con- tenders Larry Louis (high hurdles) and Dave Heine. (880) put together a very creditable season. School records were set in the mile-relay, triple jump. 880, and pole vault. A very im- pressive showing by the boys brought home a second place trophy from the McLeansboro Invitational. Coach Corn, you have the right to be proud of these boys and we look for more and greater achievements in the years to come. Good luck and good showing Louis shows good form Doug is up and over Heine brings home the bacon 1st ROW: P. Bahre, J. Lunsford, D. Winters, K. Hawkins, M. Glodo, D. Stanton, D. Heine, D.

Coach Glenzy looks forward to next year hoping that this crop of boys can better their record of 7 wins, 12 losses. Mike lets one rip Joe beats one out. David gets his lead. GIRLS SPORTS TRACK TEAM.

As every year, the junior class ordered and received their class rings. Money raising projects even proved successful — QSP products were sold and they held a yard sale in the fall and spring to help raise money for the Prom. The juniors did an outstanding job on “China Town”, the theme for the 1976 Prom.
