SENIOR CITIZENSHIP AWARDS The annual award given by the D.A.R. and S.A.R. to the senior girl and boy chosen as the best citizens is an honor of exceptional merit. The two are selected by their qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The senior class of 1950 has selected Duska Grimes and Dan McCartney to be the recipients of this award. The Danforth foundation has also set aside funds to recognize potential qualities of leadership in young people and present them with copies of the inspirational book, I Dare You. The two students chosen from the graduating class this year are Jeanne Walton and Gene Ator. DUSKA GRIMES—Duska's ready smile and cheery Hello have made her known and liked by all the students of P.H.S. Her outstanding leadership is well demonstrated through her service in various offices. As president of the National Honor Society she proved more than capable. DAN McCARTNEY — He is simply following in the footsteps of the rest of his family, who won similar awards. No one can be glum or dull with Dan around to laugh and slap you on the back. It’s no wonder the senior class has had so much fun with him as its president. GENE ATOR — Gene is the type of boy teachers rarely find. He studies when he is told to, and his report card shows it. However, he isn't entirely serious for his infectious grin is a welcome sight in the halls of P.H.S. JEANNE WALTON—Although Jeanne is one of our red headed seniors she doesn't have the temper to match. Jeanne is well known for a superb imagination, displayed in her features foe Saukee Scoops. She certainly is deserving of this award, for her ambition coupled with her ability will send her far. 29

SENIOR HISTORY FRESHMAN — Ah, yes! There was good news on September 3, 1947, when 107 green freshmen entered P.C.H.S. After the first few weeks, during which time we endured the razzing which we expected, we adjusted ourselves to the mannerisms of the more experienced. On initiation day we returned at noon attired in outlandish apparel, and had to bear the ridicule of the upper classmen (and also their books). That afternoon they honored us with a party, after which we went happily on our way as recognized members of P.C.H.S. Under the guidance of Miss Bueker we organized our class and elected Richard Zimmerman as President, Walter Blickenstaff as Vice President; Lambert Hirsheimer as secretary; Tracy Neese as treasurer, and Stuart Peebles Treasurer of the Student Council. SOPHOMORES — We returned our Sophomore year with a grand class of one hundred and one. Having returned, we immediately elected Dan McCartney, President; John Grisham, Vice President; Gene Ator, Secretary; Duska Grimes, Treasurer; and Richard Zimmerman, Secretary cf the Student Council. Our Class sponsor was Mrs. Alma Wheeler. The only activity we had during our Sophomore year to relieve the monotony of school life was a hayride without hay. After riding around a while we went out to Jean Saylor’s house for a very pleasant evening. Games were played, and dough-nuts, hotdogs, and cider were enjoyed by oil. JUNIOR—The Junior year brought many enjoyable times, as well as a lot of hard work, because we were now upper classmen. The class chose Richard Zimmerman, President; Duska Grimes, Vice President; John Grisham, Secretary, and Bob Capps, Treasurer, as the class officers to lead us in this important year. We presented the Hobgoblin House under the direction of Miss Bueker. The previous record of total cash receipts was broken when we sold S405.55 worth of tickets, and cleared $323.15. This money was used to finance the Junior and Senior banquet. The theme of the banquet was The 49'ers, and the Legion Hall was decorated with covered wagons, gold mines, saloons, etc. Eddie Randall and his orchestra furnished the music for the dance which followed. Norma Doran, Catherine McAnarney, Duska Grimes, Marion Leahr, Gene Ator, Reba Dawson, Annette Dober, Jeanne Walton, Arnold Cooper, and John Grisham were chosen as members of the National Honor Society. SENIOR CLASS — This year ninety-two seniors returned to P.H.S. to complete the job we started three years ago as freshmen. With Miss Blaeuer as our sponsor, we chose Dan McCartney, President; Charles Ferguson, Vice President; Joan Smithers, Secretary; and Joe Conkright, as Treasurer. Does it make us sad to think that this is the end of our high school days? Of course it does! At the same time, however, we are happy when we look forward to the even brighter days ahead. We owe our gratitude to a most understanding and helpful faculty. To you, underclassmen, we say goodbye, and may your high school days be as happy as ours! 30
