The machine had been ordered for many months, but none were available until the close of the war. The P.T.A. helped finance it and we are very grateful to them for their contribution. It has been used in most classes but most extensively in the science and agriculture classes, as there are more films available for these courses. We have rented films from the Visual Aids Department of the University of Illinois, as well as secured many free films from the educational divisions of various commercial firms. Several boys have taken an active interest in operating and caring for the machine and are proving to be competent operators. These boys are James Bagby, Robert Kaeser, Bob Brace, Russell Williams, Floyd Smith. From left to right in picture ore: James Bagby, Robert Kaeser, Mr. Fesler, Bob Brace, Russell Williams.

Twenty CITIZENSHIP AWARDS Seniors selected for the award this year were: D. A. R. Award Zelma Windmiller S. A. R. Award Leo Dunham Danforth Award.............Carolyn Zimmerman Danforth Award Howard Richards H. Richards The D.A.R. and the S.A.R. recognize a boy and a girl from the senior class who are outstand- C. Zimmerman in9 in citizenship. The Danforth Foundation has also set aside funds to recognize potential qualities of leadership in young people. This foundation is incorporated to stimulate young people for purposeful living, and presents copies of the inspirational book T Dare You’' to the two students chosen for this award. The graduating class nominates candidates for the D.A.R., S.A.R. and Danforth Awards, and the faculty then elects from these candidates the persons to receive the awards. Twenty-one CLASS HISTORY It was in the fall of 1942 that our dear Alma Mater, Pittsfied Community High, was honored with the presence of ninety-six exceptionally brilliant freshmen, whose enrollment has now dwindled to a mere sixty-six. Our days at P.C.H.S. have been ones of new acquaintances, experiences, and, yes, even adventures. How well we remember our first few weeks as full-fledged members of the student body. It was with wide eyes that we surveyed our new surroundings, and though, having been accused quite often of being the traditional color of green, we still maintain that we were a very pale shade of green, barely detectable at a distance. We shoved off on our educational voyage with the ship in quite capable hands. Our advisers were Miss Blaeuer and Mr. Proctor. Our president was Paul Allen Rose; vice president, Zelma Windmiller; secretary, A. L. Kiser; treasurer, Kay Parks. We held a get-acquainted dance in the gym November 19. The fairer members of the class attempted to teach the boys the latest dance steps, which then seemed to be that good, old stand-by, the two step. With the help of Rev. C. Earl Page, we felt we did an admirable job and certainly all of us had loads of fun. However, at the tender age of fourteen, our appetities were still a bit ravenous, and at the sight of cokes and hot dogs, we forgot our task of teaching dancing. We got into the full swing of things by joining the various clubs and organizations at school and were quite proud of our boys who went out for athletics. Their football suits may have been too large for them then but look at them now! (They're still too large.) All kidding aside, they had plenty of scrap and by hard work have helped to develop some of the best teams in Pittsfied's history. The next year, we felt we were really a part of the school itself. As sophomores, we realized our true superiority over the freshmen, who, it seemed to us, were extremely juvenile. We tried to show our authority by giving them an initiation party, but this was all in fun, and they were good sports. We elected our officers and were almost serious and practically judicious. Miss Dell filled her position as class adviser very capably and our officers did a swell job, too. They were: Carolyn Zimmerman, presi- dent; Paul Allen Rose, vice president; Barbara Bunn, secretary; Zelma Windmiller, treasurer. One of our class members was elected cheerleader and a few others did us proud by walking away with blue ribbons at the state music contest. Time passed, but we didn’t. Anyway, something happened to the other four members of our class, for our enrollment had dropped from eighty the year before to only seventy-six. But still, we were a happy bunch as Juniors, and proud that, at long last, we could be called upper classmen in old P.C.H.S. We held our election of officers and chose Zelma Windmiller, president; A. L. Kiser, vice president: Bill Saylor, secretary-treasurer. Miss McGuire was our adviser, and with her help we made this our most out-standing year in high school. Eleven of our class members were taken into the National Honor Society, and naturally we were quite proud of them. They presented a humorous one act play before the student body for their initiation. Also our class had more members in the band than any other one class in school. The whole class cheerfully let their hair down and hayrode out to Zelma Windmiller's where we had a scrumptuous banquet of roasted wieners and burnt marshmallows. And leave us not forget the cider (hie!). November 16th, we Twenty-two (Continued on Page 50) UNDERCLASSMEN CITIZENSHIP Good citizenship means good living. Good citizens are as essential to the well-being of their school as are the board members and faculty.

Carolyn Zimmerman Dale Willard .......Bob Robinson Bob Hayden .............Miss McGuire The Student Council is, no doubt the most important student-elected organization in school since it deals with the government of the students and contributes much to the bringing about of better policies in the governing system. The problems and suggestions of the students are brought before the council by the homeroom representatives, ere considered and discussed. The District Meeting of Student Councils was held November 3, 1945, at Springfield and was attended by five of cur members including: Marilyn Kiser, Elza Lacy, Lois Ann McGreevy, Zelma Windmiller and Carolyn Zim- merman. Our President, Carolyn Zimmerman, represented Pittsfield in a panel discussion on the subject of compulsory military training. Several assembly programs and all school parties have been sponsored by this organization. The dances were held in the gym and receipts from soda pop sales were used to purchase records for the juke box. With the aid of Miss McGuire and Mr. Vos-hall, the Student Council has, during the past year, filled its position in the school administration successfully, and feels it has brought about a better relationship between student and teacher. Twenty-eight NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS President.........................Mida Lou Bergman Vice President.......................Zelma Windmiller Secretary and Treasurer Hazel Rush Sponsor............................ Miss Blaeuer The object of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Pittsfield High School. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character, and candidates eligible to election must stand in the first third of their respective classes in scholarship. They must have spent at least one year in Pittsfield High school and not more than fifteen per cent of the junior class may be elected. Members are selected by the faculty. As a special project, the National Honor Society built up a college reference library for students' use. Fourteen juniors were added to the organization this year. A candelight service was held for new members. STANDING—Lett: D. Yokem, J. Franklin, L. McGreevey, A. McCartney, J. Stromborg, D. Totsch, G. Chaplin, W. Winter, C. King, B. Brace, R. Van Blaracom, B.

SAUKEE SCOOPS OFFICERS First Semester Sponsor ..................Miss Lee Co-Editors...............................Virginia Nichol Carolyn Zimmerman Second Semester Sponsor..................Miss Brown Co-Editors ..............................Zelma Windmiller Dick Bruce The members of the creative English class constitute the Saukee Scoop Staff and were under the leadership of Miss Lee the first semester; Miss Brown the second semester. In addition to the regular issue of news, the staff sponsored a special Christmas edition which was composed of original poems, stories, and editorials from all the English Classes. The purpose of a school paper is to keep the Student Body informed of current school events and to help develop and improve the writing ability of those interested in journalism. Thirty LIBRARIANS These are the students who are responsible for the library work in study hall. Their tasks are to take roll, check out books and magazines, and keep the library in neat order. At the beginning of the school year, all books in the library were catalogued; a service which is of great aid to the librarians in looking up references and some of the older books. In total, about three hundred new books were added to the library this year, with special emphasis on popular reading, such as fiction and biographies.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA President . Vice President Secretary . . Treasurer Reporter....... Sponsor ........Carl Riley Howard Richards . Bob Harshman Bill McCartney George Borrowman . Mr. Fisher The Future Farmers of America, a national organization, is a club for boys who are studying Agriculture in High School. This year, following the end of the war, all boys who were eligible were allowed to join the organization. This built up the Club to its present membership of fifty-nine. This year the Agriculture Department did not sponsor an evening school for farmers, but the shop was available at all times for the use of farmers and students to repair farm machinery. The FFA boys enrolled in Farm Shop have accomplished various jobs during the year, and much custom work has been done in the community. Other FFA students, enrolled in the regular classes, have participated in the sectional judging contests and various other activities of the organization. TOP ROW: H. Walston, P. Lacy, G. Barton, V.

The cast is to be commended for their outstanding performance. The plot centered around Bob (Bob Robinson) whose best intentions always seemed to backfire. He got into a predicament at school that even made his girl friend, Joan (Jeanne Stumborg), angry with him. His siser, Betty (Kathleen Hopper), was wrapped-up in Eddie (Glen Chaplin). Dickie (Dale Willard), Bob's kid brother, and Gwen (Dorothy Yokem), Dickie's flame, tried to help but only complicated matters. Things looked dark for Bob when the Plainclothes man (Bill McCartney) was sent to arrest him but all ended well when Miss Bright (Crystal Carroll) explained things and Bob not only managed to extricate himself but to come out on top. Other members of the cast were Mr. and Mrs. Parker (Clark King and Elizabeth Thomas), Louella (Agnes McCartney), Mr. Abernaker (William Stone), and the P.T.A. ladies (Norma Binns, Dorothy Goodin and Jane Franklin). The Junior Class with their sponsor, Miss McGuire, broke all records, as the sale of tickets netted $240.61. This money was used to finance the Junior-Senior banquet.

OFFICERS .............................President ........................Vice President ...............Secretary and Treasure ..........................Miss Brown The Latin Club membership consisted of pupils from Latin classes I, II, and III. The officers were chosen from the upper classes; during the year the club had two sponsors, Miss Lee for the first semester; Miss Brown for the second semester. The meetings this year were attended with enthusiasm as they were interesting and enjoyable. The program topics included a discussion of Roman games and entertainment, also Roman and Greek Mythology and their effect on present day living. The main event of the year was, however, our Roman Banquet which was held May. This is an annual event for the Latin Club. To dress as Roman citizens; to eat the food common in the days of consuls; and to feast in Roman fashion highlights the year for all Latin Club members. Thirty-six GLEE CLUB The Glee Club is unfortunate in having a number of members with conflicting classes. This situation prevents complete attendance at rehearsals. However, there are several new members to replace those girls unable to attend. The Glee Club has improved considerably as a result of public appearances and continuous rehearsing. An occasion to which all the students look forward in the spring is the Pike County Music- al Festival, held in our auditorium. Participating in this festival were all county girls', boys' and mixed choruses plus the all county band and special numbers. The numbers the girls sang this year were Madrigal in May and Sympathy . A special number, My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice, was given by Carolyn Zimmerman. Mary Penstone and Betty Ann Steward are student accompanists. BACK ROW—Left: C. Butler, C. Benr.ett, B. Bunn, M.

Nine of the members are 1946 graduates. However, the large enrollment of new members will compensate this loss. Several serious handicaps have interfered with the desired progress. Lack of time to practice, improper practice facilities, and inadequate instrumentation are but a few examples. Despite unsatisfactory conditions, the band has done remarkably well. The band has played for all athletic contests, for several civic and patriotic programs, for the Baylis Fall Festival, and for the Griggs-ville Apple Festival. The band also entered the District Band Contest April 6, in Griggsville. Soloists, Charles Bennett and Carolyn Bennett won first prizes on their saxophone and flute solos. Raymond Bassett won second, and Victor Kerr third at the District Solo Contest March 2, in Griggsville. The climax of the band's activities was its participation in the Pike County Music Festival which was held April 12. All of the county's bands were combined to play Alda Overture by McCaughey, and Washington Post by Sousa. Thirty-eight PEP SQUAD BACK ROW: L. Anderson. A. Shive, M. Pen- stone. D. Copps. K.

Throughout the season the Saukee eleven displayed beautifully executed plays, hard, clean blocking, and precision ball handling. So matchless was their performance, one football expert declared them the equal of any great team yet produced in the Illinois Valley Conference. Autumn found more people thinking we would have a pretty good team, but no one dreamed that 1945 would bring Pittsfield its second successive championship. The only flaw in their marvelous record was a 18-13 defeat by Hannibal, Missouri. Coach Smith attributed this winning season to good material, a lot of practice and hard work, plus a great team spirit. Every man cooperated to his fullest for the good of the team. Although several injuries robbed us of several players, ready reserves were on hand to carry on. Months have passed and excited cheers have died away but in years to come the date 1945 will recall memories of a grand school, of a great football team, and of old schoolmates. Carl Riley received honorable mention for All-State. Forty-two FOOTBALL LETTERMEN CLARK KING—Junior: A heavy guard who improved from his sophomore year.

BASKETBALL The Pittsfield Saukees had a good season with 22 victories and 10 defeats. They showed their skill by becoming champs of the Regional tournament, runner up in the Winchester tournament and in our own sectional. Although they began the season in fair style, they improved as they gained experience and were in good shape at the end of the season. The close scores are evidence of their ability. It was the first time in five years that the Saukees took their own regional.

Maybe we’ll have a pretty fair team this season. ' And we did turn out a pretty fair team which possessed a few good men in almost every event. A general picture of the season as a whole shows the Saukees winning two meets, placing second in one, and third in two others.

The couples we hounded for snapshots Can spoon once again unafraid! Our brows will no longer be wrinkled With lines of worry and care We can rest from our weary labors With plenty of time to spare; And we swear by all that is holy That never again we ll be caught Attempting to publish a darned old book That doesn't turn out as it ought. No more shall we look for the glory That goes with an editor's name; But shall be quite content if our days are spent In other roads of fame. Forty-nine CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page 22) presented Brother Goose , a three act comedy with Mrs. Wilson as our director. We felt our financial status at the end of the first semester was something to brag about as we netted a profit of one hundred and seventy-one dollars. Naturally the highlight of the second semester was the Junior-Senior banquet. Our theme was a circus, and while we might possibly be a bit prejudiced, we think it is one of the most original themes ever used. The chairman of the decorating committee, Virginia Nichol, had lots of clever ideas, and all the kids worked like mad for three weeks moping preparations for, what we thought then, was the most important event of our lives. The decorations had met and excelled our expectations in spite of the fact that, due to war shortages, we had to conserve on materials. We danced to the music of Carl Landrum's orchestra and all joined in the Grand March. And then we were Seniors. It hardly seemed possible that already four years had passed since we first walked up the steps in these sacred walls of learning. We had started our last year at Pittsfield High, but our first year of world wide peace since we had entered high school in 1942. However, school was much the same except that now our dream of being seniors had come true. But we soon discoverd that it was not all play and no work, as we had hopefully imagined. We found ourselves with new responsibilities such as publishing Saukee Scoops, and writing our 1946 Saukee. Yes, it was hard work, but so much fun. Miss Blaeuer once again became our class adviser, and how we appreciated her splendid work. A. L. Kiser was elected president of our class, with George Borrowman as vice president, Mida Lou Bergman as secretary, Harold Keller as treasurer, and Carolyn Zimmerman as president of the Student Council. Several of our boys left us to join the armed forces, and we certainly missed them; for it was in our last year that we all wanted to stick together. We shall never forget how proud we were when our football team, with Carl Riley as Captain, won the Illinois Valley Championship for the second consecutive year; and our basketball team did all right too, by winning second place in the Winchester tournament, and first in the Regional tournament. For our class party, we had a gay 'ole time at Jane Dustin's, where we hayrode all over the country side and then ate pounds of roasted wieners. We came back to Pittsfield in an open truck and although our toes were practically frozen, the singing of Minnie, the Mermaid kept us warm. Then the senior class play, presented May 1st, was a huge success. And, of course, the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 8th, was wonderful. We'll never forget it, Juniors. The decorations were darling, and almost as original as ours! Then the senior picnic. Gee, we really had fun, didn't we? Even if we were dead-tired at the end of the day. It was on May 28th that we took that merry jaunt, and none of us will ever forget it. Well, soon will be baccalaureate services, graduation and farewell to Pittsfield High. We've had our ups and downs, but all in all, it's been wonderful. And it's been nice knowing vou. ★ Fifty SENIOR CLASS PLAY r 1 1 Spring Green On Moy I. 1946. the Senior Class presented Spring Green, before o large and appreciative audience. The ploy was the laughter-filled story of a boy whose father just couldn't understand him. and a girl whose mother understood her only too well. Nina Cassell, the charming and youthful mother of two daughters, patriotically turned one wing of her home into an apartment to help house the military personnel of a nearby airfield. When the officer in charge of construction moved in, she was surprised to find that he was one of her old suitors. The girls in the neighborhood had been atwitter over the rumor that the Major's family consisted of a son. Newton, who must, they argued, be terrifically dashing and sophisticated because he was born and brought up in New York City, and had also been recently expelled from a boarding school. When Newton arrived, he proved to be a gentle, absent-minded, and socially-awkward boy with a consuming interest in the scientific breeding of earthworms. His passion for earthworms came into conflict with his passion for the prettiest girl in town, disrupted his father's ro- mance with Nina, and almost landed him in jail. The performance was thoroughly successful. Credit is due Mrs. Orace Wilson, the director, and Bob Brace and Betty Ann Steward, student directors. The cast was as follows: Nine Cassell Mrs. Rumble Freda McCarter Scottie Cassell Mr. Putnam Tony Cassell . . Carolyn Zimmerman Pinkie Ames Hazel Rush Dunk Doyle A. L. Kiser Bing Hitchkiss Genevieve Jones Marjorie Boll Major Michael Todd... Leo Dunham T. Newton Todd Dick Bruce Eula Hitchkiss Zelma Windmiller Dr. Luther Blodgett . . George Borrowmon Officer Ryan Billy FOOTBALL LETTERMEN (Continued from page 43) A. L. KISER—Senior: A fast and hard-running halfback. When he got in the open he was very hard to stop. HAROLD KELLER—A hard-driving senior, playing for the first time. His driving accounted for several touchdowns and much yardage. He improved with each game. GENE WADE—Senior: Played mostly at end. also at half. He was a scrapper and ployed well on defense. BILL SAYLOR—Senior: Always fighting, no matter what the odds. He was the best trainer on the squad and never missed practice in four years except when excused by the coach. LESTER PEECHER—Senior: Moved from end to guard. He was a good blocker and a charger on defense. ROBERT ROBINSON—Junior: Was a hard worker, good trainer and played well on defense. He played several backfield positions and will be back for another grand year. BOB HARSHMAN—Junior: When the regular ends needed rest. Bob could be counted on in grand style. He could nab passes as well as get plenty of tackles. BILL McCARTNEY—Junior: Was a big, durable tackle and also played at guard. He will be even better next year. CHARLES WYATT—Sophomore: A scrappy guard who came along fast toward the end of the season and should provide lots of strength the next two years. DICK HENRY—Was another sophomore who came along well as the season went. He provided lots of strength when the regular tackles came out. BOB KATTLEMAN—Freshman: Was a fast, hard-driving, back could block and tackle as well as run. He was going great till a cracked wrist kept him on the sidelines. He will play lots of ball for three more years. Fifty-one JOHNNY'S CAFE •R FINE FOODS STEAKS AND CHOPS ITALIAN SPAGHETTI MEAT BALLS FOUNTAIN SERVICE JOHN L. GIARDINO, PROP.
