The Board of Education, a small group with a big job to do, directs the elementary education in starting people on the way of doing well those things they will most likely need to do. The high school is a continuation and extension of the program of the elementary school with greater emphasis being placed upon the introduction of the individual into actual living.

Senior Class History In September, 1955, we freshmen entered Pittsfield High School numbering 114. After several days of losing ourselves in the new school building, we settled down to our regular routine. We then performed the important task of electing class officers. Our president was Harold Buddemeyer; vice-president was Jim McKinney; secretary was Sue Hillebrenner, and treasurer was Melanie Black. Our representatives on the Student Council were John Clark, Mary McHose, and John Bradburn. Sue Hillebrenner and Melanie Black were our class representatives at homecoming. Miss Booker and Mr. York were our very helpful sponsors. We started our sophomore year off with 99 members. First of all, we elected class officers: John Clark, president; Melanie Black, vice-president; Jill Heavener, secretary; and Paul Smith, treasurer. We also elected John Bradburn, Bonnie Hayden, and Mike Lippincott to the Student Council. Our homecoming representatives were Martha Ducey, and Bonnie Hayden. Mr. Heitholt and Mr. Murry were our very capable sponsors. When the 1957-58 school year arrived, we were upperclassmen at last. This year we elected Mike Murphy as president, Charles Keys as vice-president, Carroll Cox as secretary, and Mike Callihan as treasurer. John Bradburn, Ruth Ann McKenna, and Jerry Brown were elected to the Student Council. Ruth Ann McKenna and Mary Sue Jones were our homecoming attendants. With Miss Bueker as director and Sue Hillebrenner and Ruth Ann McKenna as student directors, the junior class presented its play, ’’Phantom of the High School. The 1958 Jr.-Sr. Prom was entitled Sayonara. Mike Murphy was general chairman, and Mary Sue Jones and Vera Dean were co-chairmen of the decorating committee. Martha Ducey was crowned as prom queen. Many members of the class were outstanding in sports, music contests, and other activities. Miss McGuire was our very helpful sponsor. We are now a class of 90 seniors. Our class officers are John Clark, president; Ben Dolbeare, vice-president; Melanie Black, secretary; and Mike Lippincott. treasurer. Student Council members include John Bradburn, Leonard Litvari, Sue Hillebrenner, and Ruth Ann McKenna, who is president. Under the able direction of Miss Bueker, the senior play, A Boy Named Beulah was presented. We are now at the end of our High School days, and, though we are sad at leaving, we hope that the days ahead will be as bright as our days at Pittsfield High School. We are very grateful to our sponsors, Mr. P'esler and Miss Thrasher, and to the rest of the faculty, who have always been most kind and helpful. We wish all the underclassmen as happy a four years in PHS as we have had. Valedictorian Karen Bunn, one of the three valedictorians, is known for her dependability and her willingness to work hard. She has always been willingtohelp others in any way she can. Karen was the editor of Saukee Scoops; the president of F, T. A., a helpful worker on the Annual Staff, an active participant in speech contest, and a student librarian. John Philip Sousa Band Award Mary McHose was presented the John Philip Sousa Band Award, as she was voted the outstanding senior musician in the PHS Concert Band. Mary has been active in music during all four years of high school. She has the outstanding distinction of having received all firsts at both district and state music contests on bassoon and piano solos during all four years of high school. Valedictorian Martha Ducey is known for her smile, her cheerfulness, and her friendliness in the halls of PUS. She has maintained a straight A semester average during her high school years, yet she still found time to serve as a cheerleader all four years. Senior Valedictorian Vera Dean was the third senior of '59 who received a straight A semester average through high school. She is one girl who has participated in many activities, and yet she has worked very hard in all of them. Vera was co-editor of the annual, a participant in the state speech contest, and the secretary of the band. DeKalb Award Mike Lippincott was the recipient of the 1959 DeKalb Award at PHS. It is presented annually to the outstanding senior agriculture student. Mike was an outstanding member of F. F. A., and he has received many other awards for his project work. He was the honorary football captain, and a fine asset to the basketball team. D.A.R. Award, Mathematics Award Betty Crocker Homemaker Award Vera Dean, recipient of the D. A. R. Award, clearly illustrates the characteristics of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism, on which this award is based. She is talented in many different fields, as she received both the National Foundation of Mathematics Award and the Betty Crocker Homemaking Award. Vera is willing to share her abilities and talents with everyone, and she will be missed by all next year. Awards Daniorth Award Martha Ducey was the recipient of the Danforth Foundation Award, which was a copy of the book, I Dare You. Citizenship awards are no new thing to Martha, as she received both the annual citizenship award and the Student Council Citizenship Award during her sophomore year. Danforth Award Student Council Citizenship Award Lenny Litvan was honored by receiving two citizenship awards: the Danforth Foundation Award, and the Student Council Citizenship Award. Lenny is liked by all for his good sense of humor and his dependability. He was a member of the Student Council and band, and he played football and basketball. S. A. R.

This award is presented to the outstanding citizen of the 1958-59 school year. Ruth Ann served as president of the Student Council; she is well known for her friendly personality. Senior Prophecy Pittsfield, Illinois May 28, 1979 Buddemeyer and Harter Maybe Building New York, New York Dear Harold and Jim: It took me twenty long years, but I have finally come back to Pittsfield. Believe me, you'd never recognize the old town now! I arrived at the Municipal Airport early this morning, on the nonstop Miami-Pittsfield flight with one of thos e rickety old jets. Ifd have thought that CHARLES KEYS would have replaced those old crates with the new atom-powered planes that LAWRENCE SMITH'S aircraft company is throwing together. Good old Charles still takes care of hiring the stewardesses, I guess, because CAROLE MOORE was the stew on my flight. Charlie always did have good taste in those things. Well, as I said, I arrived early today, and really surprised to see how the city looks. For one thing, DALE JOHNSON'S construction company has built a lot of these new spherical houses in the suburbs. As I recall, Dale never did go for the square look. Out in Murphdale, named after Mayor MICHAEL MURPHY, on of the newer models has been painted orange. The LOWRYS must like it, I guess, but to me it looks like a huge pumpkin with a television aerial for a stem. By the way, did you know that JOE!S in the thoroughbred bred business? GARY WELLS rode No Vacancy to victory in the Kentucky Derby last year. I’ve learned that the new craze of painting houses in stripes started right here. It seems that JERRY BROWN and JIM McKINNEY painted their houses in red and white blazer stripes. Then, Dr. DONALD WILLARD perfected his new plastic roofing that glows in the dark (so much the better to land your helicopter with, Grandma). Jerry and Jim immediately covered their roofs with Brilliant Blue. Those boys always were patriotic! I rented an old '64 jalopy from JIM WRIGHT'S car-rental service, and drove around the town for awhile, I must say that the street commissioner, JOE DAUT, is doing a wonderful job, keeping the burned rubber streaks cleaned up. Ever since RODNEY WALKER'S Motor Company started selling those souped up custom '80 jobs, the City Police have had a rough time. Chief GARY FARIS says that the police force may have to buy some of those '80's to keep up with the JONESES (MARY SUE, in this case)-AND the LEE HANNELS, and even with Senator JOHN BRADBURN, who seems to have perfected a way of breaking the sound barrier while still on the ground. The Air Force base outside town in an interesting place, particularly when you go on a guided tour. Colonel GARY HART showed me around personally, and introduced me to the most important man on the base, FRED MARTIN. He is the one who keeps all the pushbuttons working, and he told me that checking over 5,872 pushbuttons each week is very exciting. f ! 34 Seniors going out in the World, see SERVICE FINANCE CO. General BOB WOOD flew in on a base inspection tour while I was there. Sgt. BEN DOLBEARE'S platoon won a citationfor neatness but Sgt. DURRELL HARPOLE claimed that Dolbeare's platoon had been taking lessons from the WAF's, and should have been disqualified. By the way, it was Lt. GEORGIA LEE’S platoon which was giving the free instruction. I returned to town, and passed throught the square, JOYCE CHRISTIAN and JILL HEAVENER have set up the biggest little old fashion shop there! They have been invited by VERA DEAN, President of the United States, to show their fashions at the World's Fair in Gumville, New Biddle. Of course you know that SHERRY BIDDLE has set up her own government in Monaco, and appointed BECKY WATSON as her Prime Minister. Her Majesty Sherry's cabinet is entirely made up of women, too - I know that KAREN ALTIZER and JANIE KNAPP are Secretaries of War and Peace, although there's never any peace in New Biddle since PAUL DURALL said that it could be done. That statement brought on a furious reply from MIKE PERRINE, who's been telling the world for ten years that it couldn't be done. Now everybody is trying to do it, just to see. The noted art critic CARROLL COX has written a scorching review of RON TUCKER'S latest art show, because Mr. Cox doesn't like the napkins that Tucker uses. The State Fair is being held here this year, and DALEY DAVIS and PAUL MARTIN are battling for the cattle show championships again. The trophy will be awarded by Mr. America, MIKE LIPPINCOTT. From all reports, it will take a muscleman to lift the trophy, because it's made of Shulmanium, the metal that never dulls. Dr. MARION SHULMAN, the eminent physicist, discovered the element last year. As I drove around the business district, Iran into KAREN MOORE - literally. The plastic shell of her car was almost shattered, and the machine had to be towed away to DON ATOR'S garage. The damages may be quite expensive, and I'm glad that I'm insured with the Roberts Insurance Company. President GARRY ROBERTS always makes sure that a fair amount of lettuce is paid. Luckily, nobody got hurt in the accident, but I wouldn't mind going to the new hospital here. It's said that from the moment you step in the door (or get carried in), the friendly treatment begins. The receptionist, PAT LANHUM, greets you with a big smile; the receiving nurses either CAROL WARD, KAY PHILLIPS, or ANNIS McCLIMEN, smiles at you too; and the last thing you see before Dr. NANCY SEYMOUR puts you under is Dr. PATRICIA RUPERT smiling as she sharpens the scalpel. Tomorrow night, MARY McHOSE, the famous boogie-woogie pianist, is to perform at Norton Hall. You knew, of course, that the Hall is named after WILLIAM H. NORTON, the great Spoolie manufacturer. Tonight Sir JOHN CLARK will perform, singing the tenor aria from the old opera Dracula, written by JANICE BUTTERFIELD. Professor THOMAS BURBRIDGE will speak to the Ladies' Club tonight on The Idea Behind the Bobby Pin, assisted by DONNA MARTIN, the best bobby-pin model in the world. The president of the Ladies' Club, SHARON MOTLEY, has allowed advertising to be spread all over the City Hall, and the District Attorney, ROBERT RAMAZZINI, is going to prosecute for obstruction of justice -one of Justice LLOYD (LARRY) VALENTINE'S windows was completedly covered by a poster, and he claimed that it obstructs his view. However, DONNA TURNBEAUGH is the defense attorney, and it looks like the beginnings of a spectacular trial. Of course, the Pike County Popocrat's ace reporter, NORA WOOD, will cover the event and BBC (WENDELL BAUGHMAN'S Broadcasting Company) will broadcast the proceedings. If the trial proves lively enough, the Pulitzer-prize-winning playwright, OTIS HORTON, may write a play about it. Good Luck PIKE COUNTY COAL LUMBER CO, 35 MARTHA DUCEY is STILL working on her Master's degree at Duke University! Good old LARRY DUKE - I always knewthey'd build a large monument to his achievements. He won the Educator of the Year award two years ago. My, it's starting to rain. The weatherman, RANDY LONG, has goofed again. Or maybe it was JUNIOR JEFFRIES, who forgot to count the low pressure systems yesterday. Had you read in the newspapers that our U. N. delegate, JOYCE LANE, had challenged the Russian delegate to a duel? We hear that the interpreter, SHERRIE WILLSEY, got so confused that she screamed once in English and once in Russian, and resigned. Too bad it's raining today. I left my Black umbrella at home. No, my capitalization isn't wrong; the umbrella was made by MELANIE BLACK'S company. Anyway, I needed that umbrella, because I’m going to walk down to the Bonnett theater (owned by ROGER BONNETT), and see Dog on a Cool Ice Igloo-top.” It’s all about an Alaska ice-ranch owner and his family. BONNIE HAYDEN and BILL GRAHAM have the starring roles - each was paid a million dollars. Speaking of million, ANITA FREEMAN gave away the thirtieth check for one million dollars yesterday. Since Mr. Tipton and Mr. Anthony gave up that hobby, MIKE CALLIHAN has taken over the idea. That last stock boom really put Mr. C. in the money. And, mentioning money, the first person I saw when I walked into the loan office was Billion BILL” HAYDEN. He took over the business just two months ago when its first owner, DETTA SHINN, decided to retire to her Hawaii spread and raise grass. Oh, it's just about time for BBC newscaster EARL LIGHTLE with the news, I wonder whether a decision has been reached in the Supreme Court yet. You know that they're considering the ROBINSON vs. Illinois case. CAROLYN charges that the state has tried to swindle her out of the original Sheena papers that she accidentally found two years ago. Chief Justice JERRY CLAUS is holding up the decision until the state capitol can be searched for the most important evidence -ESTHER JOHNSON'S coat button. If it can be found, the case is solved, but don't ask me how. DON FIDLER, the sly comedian, is going into his eighth year of making fun of BOB PEECHER'S bridges. I must say that I think Bob is getting a little out of hand - after all, who ever needed a bridge from New York to London? The U. S. Olympic laughing team hits town tonight to give a special demonstration. KAREN SMITH, SUE HILLEBRENNER, RUTH ANN McKENNA, and LEONARD LITVAN really laughed it up, and brought four gold medals back with them. Speaking of Olympics, RACHEL HUNTER won the one finger weight-lifting contest. It’s almost time to leave on my errand now. Take care of yourselves, boys, and keep handling LOTS of money. I just wrote to let you know that by the time you get this letter, I'll have robbed your Pittsfield branch bank. Sincerely, Karen Bunn Class of 1959 36 Here's to you. Seniors, PEPSI COLA COMPANY UNDERCLASSMEN JUNIORS The jolly juniors of '59 have had a very busy year. Class officers were: Bill Lowe, President; Kenny Higgins, Vice-President; Kathy Walsh, Secretary; and Kent Zimmerman, Treasurer. The officers have cooperated and worked to make this year's junior class the best ever. In order to raise money, the class had a bake sale and a car wash. The bake sale was in the morning, and the car wash put a swell finish to the day. The girls were left to do most of the dirty work, but the boys took the credit. Many of the juniors worked very hard to make the class play, ’’The Magic Touch, a big success. The main event of the year was the Jr. Sr. Prom, Venus - Goddess of Love. All the juniors worked very hard to make it a success. The students worked very hard to make it one of the best proms ever to be held. All in all, the juniors have worked very hard and have had a very profitable year. Good luck to you in your senior year! Citizenship Awards Kathy Walsh Kathy is a friendly and popular junior girl; she is constantly bubbling over with enthusiasm. She had the lead in the junior play, and was class secretary, and was elected to the Nafional Honor Society. Her other activities include F.N.C., G.A.A., and the speech contest play. Bob Patton Bob's quiet ways have helped him gain many friends. He is a good sport and a good worker who always looks ahead to the future. Bob is active in sports, as he was on the varsity basketball squad and was a letterman in baseball. 38 Best Wishes from MORTON'S LOCKER Sally Aldrich Barbara Allen Carole Atwood Bill Barnett Barbara Bauer Pat Bauer Suzanne Boyd Tom Brant Glenn Brooks Gilman Brown Lilly Brown Lanna Burbridge Konrad Butler Robert Cantwell Larry Cawthon Pat Cawthon Bonnie Claus Kay Conkright Good Luck from the SUPER WAY FOOD STORE 39 Lee Fisher David Giger Donald Halsey David Hamilton Tom Hurd Donna Ford Kenny Higgins Jerry Houchins Leslie Johnson Ronny Johnson Jerry Jones Pat King Susan King Linda Lippincott DIMMITT'S PHILLIPS 66 Jane Fields Terry Fulmer Donnie Gerard Bob Hammitt Kathy Huseman Burdette Irwin Nellie Jeffers Janet Kelly Wishes, Seniors, Sandra Dolbeare Jackie Doyle Wendall Duggins Sherry Ellis Peggy Farrell 40 Best Joyce Ellis Phil Jones Brenda Kelly r Mary McNulty Carolyn Martin Karen Moore Estelpne McKee Ruth Long Bill Lowe Judith Morrow Robert Patton Phyllis Payne Phyllis Peters Sherry Plummer Beth Priest Judith Reeves Norris Richards Ruby Roberts Trenton Roberts Kay Rose Bob Schedel Sharon Schuelein Sharen Scoville Oonna Shaw John Shue Connie Smith Carolyn Sidwell ■ Karol Smith Rose Ann Smith Tom Smith Mary Jahe Sparks Norman Staff Lynn Stroheker Congratulations MILLER'S FURNITURE MART Scott Synold Marcus Taylor Linda Test Dacia Vannatta Leland Wahlgren Kathy Walsh Nancy Wendler Loraine Williams Kay Willard Jim Wilson Brenda Windmiller Kent Zimmerman SOPHOMORES The Snappy Sophomores of '59 set the pace for all classes. Thanks to the leadership of its officers: David Awbrey, President; Roger Beard, Vice President; Judy Sumner, Secretary; and Jack Harry, Treasurer; the sophomore class sponsored money-making activities which totaled over $350 for the year. The class officers led the first activity of the school year when their class sponsored a spook house and sold candy at the Fall Festival. The Sophomores seemed to be on fire with school spirit; they proved this by sponsoring the only class float in the Homecoming Parade. This float, which received second place, represented Alaska, our 49th state. To add funtothe work, the sophies had a sock-hop and also sold pom-pom for the Homecoming Game. At Christmas time the sophomores backed the Student Council by over-flowing their box with toys for needy children in the Pittsfield area. In addition to this, there were skating parties, a St. Patrick’s Day all-school Dance, and other activities. Citizenship Awards Mary Jo Smith Mary Jo is know for her dependable ways; and her friendly smile is known to everyone. Acting as secretary of the Student Council, she was a very active member of that organization. Mary Jo was also a member of Spanish Club and G.A.A. Roger Beard Where there is a discussion about hunting, trapping, or coin collecting, you'll find Roger. He is neat, dependable, and courteous.

These officers were: Curtis Fudge, President; Mary K. McCartney, Vice President; Joyce Dinsmore, Secretary; and Charles Seybold, Treasurer. The freshmen were very busy adjusting to high school life, but they still found time to participate in many extra-curricular activities. Citizenship Awards Mary Kay McCartney A petite freshman packed with cooperation, a willingness to work, and a thoughtfull word for everyone, Mary K. is one of the most thought-of girls at PHS. She was a freshman class officer, and also sang in the Girls' Chorus. Nick Haskins Known for his quiet ways, Nick has contributed much to PHS during his freshman year.

It sponsored a Sock Hop after every Friday night game during the football and basketball seasons. These Sock Hops were the only all-school parties except the formal dances. The jukebox playing record after record; the Student Council members asking to see Activity Cards; the groups of boys discussing the merits of customizing hot-rods; the clusters of girls talking about how to get the boys to dance; the rock-n-rollers bopping to Sweet Little Sixteen ; the girls practicing the latest cha-cha step to Catch a Falling Star ; the happy couples swaying to the tunes of Who's Sorry Now and Chances Are ; the patient teachers chaperoning the enthusiastic students; the noisy conversation at the Cardinal after the Sock Hop: All of these are memories of the Student Council Sock Hops which PHS students will never forget. The Sock Hops were only one activity sponsored by the Student Council. The 1958-59 school year was a year in which the Student Council carried on old traditions and started new ones. The year began with the teachers' brunch, which was held several days before the opening of school. All the teachers from the grade schools, junior high, and high school were invited, and all enjoyed the brunch. Before long, it was October, and this month brought Homecoming. The Student Council was in charge of all the Homecoming activities. The 1958 theme was Around the World. The parade Friday afternoon featured ten floats, each depicting a different country. Saturday night the dance was held in the Gymnasium, which was decorated as Holland. The music of Boots Brennan was enjoyed by all. On the weeks raced, and soon Christmas was just around the corner. Preparations began for the toy and food drive. As a result of this drive, over thirty needy children in Pittsfield received food and toys for Christmas. Again this year, the Student Council was host to a county workshop. Delegates from nine nearby high schools met to discuss common problems and to exchange ideas. These were only the highlights of the year. Fill them in with the four all-school assembly programs, a March of Dimes campaign during January, and District and State Student Council Conventions. Then top it off with the annual banquet and installation of new officers and the awarding of the Student Council Citizenship Awards. This all adds up to make 1958-59 one of the busiest ever for PHS Student Council members. The hard-working officers and members of the Student Council have done much to make our school and its activities more worthwhile and enjoyable. 54 Saukee Scoops FIRST ROW: J. Ellis. L.

The Future Farmers of America were a very active organization at PHS during the past year. They attended many judging contests, placing well in all of them. Many individual members received individual honors. One of the most profitable and enjoyable F. F. A. activities is the annual Pest Control Contest during November and December. The club is divided into two teams; North and South. The team which kills the most pests (sparrows, starlings, rats, etc.) is treated to a chili supper by the losing team. Atypical F. F. A. boy may start setting mouse traps as soon as he learns the contest has started. After doing his chores, he will probably clean his rifle and set out to do away with a few pests. A typical number of pests killed in one day might include ten sparrows, four starlings, and one or two mice. During the six weeks of the contest, many F. F. A. members devote much of their spare time to killing pests. After Christmas vacation, Mr. Fisher totals the number of points for each team. The following week, a chili supper is enjoyed by both the losing and the winning teams. At the 1959 chili supper, it was announced that Pittsfield F. F. A. boys had killed a total of 21,000 pests. The F. F. A. chapter decided the Pest Control Contest was a worth-while project, and all members agreed that they had a lot of fun participating in the contest.

As a visitor enters the halls of PHS during the school day, he is met by a cheerful hall monitor who assists him in locating the person he wishes to see. While visiting the school, he notices the clean halls which are kept free of paper by the hall monitors. Other duties of the hall monitors include collecting absentee slips and running errands for the teachers. To render this service to the school, the hall monitors sacrifice one free period each day. Only those who are directly connected with the schools realize and appreciate the services of the hall monitors. 58 Popeye eats meats from BERGMAN'S PACKING CO. Spanish Club FIRST ROW: MR.

The newest organization in Pittsfield High School is the Industrial Arts Club; the by-laws were just passed in September of this year. One of the unusual features of this club is that they meet on alternate Thursday evenings rather than during the school day. On these evenings, visitors to PHS could hear the buzzing of saws, the roar of the thickness planers, and the clattering of the hand tools. These sounds came from the I. A. Shop, where the boys were constructing picnic tables to sell. The money earned on this club project was used to finance the first annual Industrial Arts Show. This was an open house at which projects were exhibited; a picnic table was given as a door prize. 60 Compliments of SMART'S STANDARD SERVICE G. A. A. FIRST ROW: K. Smith. C. Smith, E. McKee, M.

As the year of scheduled sports activities of the G.A.A. rolls around early in April, we hear the whistle sounding for the girls' interclass basketball tournaments to begin. As the 1959 season began, the four teams were the Freshman Flashes, the Sophomore Tigers, the Jr. Dead-Eyes, and the Sr. Basket Beauties. One of the best games of the tourney was between the Freshman Flashes and the Sr. Basket Beauties. With many a floor burn and much perspiration dripping, these two teams fought it out. Ruth Winston collected 19 of the losers' 25 points, only to find the Sr. Beauties had defeated them by one point at the end of the final quarter of play. Another good game of the tourney was the tugging battle between the Jr. Dead-Eyes and the Sophomore Tigers. It was a growl here and a groan there all during the game, but the Tigers' growl dropped to a grunt during the last quarter. When the final whistle sounded, those Dead-Eyed Juniors again emerged victorious by a walloping score of 42-16. When the action of the G.A.A. Basketball Tourney was ended, the Jr. Dead-Eyes emerged as champions. I Student Projectionists MR. FESLER. sponsor, R. Tanner. G. Roberts. J Jeffries. C. Kevs. B. Dolbeare, L. Wahlsrren.

The hard work of the members paid off when it was learned that the choruses received an excellent, or second division rating. Much of the choruses1 success was due to the energetic guidance and support of their director, Mrs. Roodhouse. Both choruses took part in the Pike County Music Festival held at West Pike. The Choruses also presented several programs for the Student body and provided excellent music at community events. Four members were chosen to go to the All-State Chorus Festival which was held at Champaign. They were: Beth Priest, Hallie Grimes, Kay Willard, and Jerry Jones. The Choruses climaxed a very successful year with the presentation of the spring concert, Spring Serenade.” Good luck Seniors!

It seemed like the phrase ’’Cleanliness is next to Godliness was always around. Near the end, Corky told his Aunt Beulah that he was a boy instead of a girl; Aimee spilled that she wanted to keep control of Ava and Nanelle until they were twenty-five because she would get a large sum of money; and Mr. Goldstone spilled why he had Tongo do some haunting (the reason was that he wanted to find the diamond that Old Hiram Mansfield had left). At the very end, Corky found the diamond in a bar of soap. Buy gas from (Les) ALLEN'S D.X. SERVICE 69 HOMECOMING Homecoming, 1958, got off to a blazing start about 5:45 on October 16, when a certain senior football player got overly anxious and set the bonfire off two hours ahead of schedule. However, this did not distract from the spirit of the PHS students as the cheerleaders led them on a spiralling snake dance. After the students shuffled through the business houses, they Jubilantly returned to the bonfire. While a second Jerseyville player was burning in effigy, cheering students and popping firecrackers inspired the football team to do its best. The homecoming parade with a theme of Around the World went off as scheduled on Friday afternoon, climaxing a week of preparation on the part of PHS students. Leading the march Around the World : was the high-stepping PHS Marching Band. Immediately following was the queen's float adorned with thirteen attractive senior candidates. Convertibles carrying the retiring queen, the honorary attendant, and the underclass attendants preceded the many beautifully decorated floats. Winning prizes in float competition were the Spanish Club (Mexico), the Sophomore Class (Alaska), and F. T. A. (Kenya). For the first time in history a second Pittsfield band, the Pittsfield Junior High Band, marched as a unit to close the homecoming parade. The third phase of the 1958 homecoming was the football game between Pittsfield and Jerseyville. At this point in our Journey Around the World, the going got a little rough. The Saukee football squad became lost in the jungle and was attacked by eleven Panthers from Jerseyville. Even the fancy stepping and tricky formations of the Saukee Marching Band could not revive the dejected half-time spirit of the football squad. When the battle was over the casualties were totaled, it was found that no lives were lost and the Panthers had stolen only 36 points. By Saturday night, the PHShomecomingprocessionhadJourneyed Around the World to Holland, where the dance was held. At this time, many alumni joined the homecoming celebration. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the 1958 homecoming queen. Miss Vera Dean, by the honorary football captain, Mike Lippincott.

The action centered around the Braddock family and the trials they had with their tomboy daughter, Bobby. She wore dirty jeans and a loud sweater and played football with the Dirty Dozen. Mother, however, wanted Bobbette to be a young lady, so she arranged for Bobbette to model a very feminine evening gown in a fashion show. Meanwhile, Frieda Fisher moved in on the Dirty Dozen and changed them from a rough-and-ready football team to a clean, lovesick bunch of dandies. Bobbette decided all was lost and life for her was over. She dropped out of sight temporarily. How she returned to solve her problems, how she rescued the Dirty Dozen, and how she won top honors at the fashion show made for a suspenseful third act of a very enjoyable play. 76 Best Wishes NIEBUR'S INSURANCE CO.

The orchestra was seated in front of a fluffy blue and white cloud. The Merry Mad Men of Jerseyville provided the dance music for the evening. The queen's throne was flanked by six white Roman columns wound with pink roses. Potted palms and baskets of flowers added color to the setting. Estelene McKee was crowned queen by Bill Lowe, Junior Class President and she was escorted by Danny Baughman. Her attendants were Kathy Walsh and Mary Jane Sparks; their escorts were Kent Zimmerman and Bob Schedel. After the dance two movies were shown in the auditorium, after which the parents of the Juniors served breakfast in the cafeteria.

The Saukees of Pittsfield High School, with only five returning lettermen, started the season against a strong Jacksonville eleven. They came out of the game with a loss, but gained knowledge they could use later. As the season progressed, the boys were looking more and more like a ball club. The first home game showed the fans that the Saukees were capable, as they won over Rushville 12 to 0. The next four teams on the schedule outclassed the Saukees, but the boys kept up their fighting spirit making the other teams earn every point. On November 14, PHS journeyed to Winchester for the final game of the season. The two teams fought in rain almost the whole game. In the last minute of the last quarter, with the score tied 6-6, the Saukees plunged over a touchdown. This climaxed a season which ; although not a success in relation to wins and losses, was a success in building a team with a lot of fighting spirit and good morale.

The Saukee's cage ensemble of the '58-'59 season was - shall we say - not startling. Three seniors and twelve juniors compiled an overall 8-18 total while finishing Mid-Western Conference play with a 5-7 record. Eleven of the eighteen losses were by five or less points. The sun that shone through the clouds, however, were the close scores that the Saukees had against Quincy High, Jerseyville, and Jacksonville. Also in regional tournament play, the Saukees topped a Rushville team that had beaten them twice in regular season play. Individual honors went to Mike Callihan, who was the team's leading scorer; Dave Giger, junior guard who connected on 42 per cent of his shots from the field; and Don Fidler, who netted over 70 per cent of his free throw attempts. The appearance of twelve juniors on the varsity squad probably put the Saukees in a class by itself, as far as youth was concerned. All of these junior boys experienced frequent action against all competition, and each displayed moments of cage prowess t lat left predictors with an extremely optimistic opinion of Pittsfield's future basketball fortunes.

In many games he out-Jumped teller boys to pull off rebounds. Bob has a good hook shot and should score well in his senior year. GARY CURTIS: Although Gary didn't start every game, he was a valuable replacement. Gary is an excellent driver, and with a little work on his ball handling and Jump shot, he could be great in his senior year. MIKE CALUHAN: Mike was the leading scorer on the team, with a 17 point average. His ability to hit the basket thrilled crowds on many occasions. DAVE GIGER: Dave improved his basketball throughout the season. Each game he played a little better and harder. Dave was the defensive ace of the Saukees and could hit the Jump shot from the top of the key. MIKE LIPPINCOTT: Mike was the team's work horse. He fought and worked hard every minute of every practice and game. His drive and hard work will be missed next year. i ft DON FIDLER: Don led the team in free- throw percentage and received the free-throw trophy. Fid was a good defensive player and could hit the set shots. 86 WE OPPONENT THEY Football 0 Jacksonville 64 7 Carrollton 19 13 Notre Dame 31 12 Rushville 0 0 Jerseyville 36 12 I. S.

Under the coaching of Mr. Maack, the team advanced to the championship game of the district tournament before it was eliminated. The leading hitters of the 59 baseball season were Bob Ramazzini, Mike Callihan, and Dan Baughman. Mike Callihan was the leading pitcher; Kent Zimmerman and Bruce Saxbury also saw mound duty. The team gained much experience in the eighteen games it played. With only four members graduating, the PHS baseball team can look forward to success during the next few years. The 1959 track squad was very ably coached by Mr. Hirsch; he was assisted by Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Coil. Stressing the fine points of track and field events, the coaches tried to have each boy in top shape for the nine meets in which they participated. Pittsfield was host to the Pike County Track Meet this year. The PHS track team upheld its record by winning this meet for the third year in a row. 88 For tippy toe feet, shop at KIENTZLE S SHOE STORE Baseball Team STANDING: Coach Maack, K. Zimmerman, L.

A yearbook cannot be produced by the editors alone; we especially wish to thank MISS THRASHER for her hard work and helpful suggestions, the FACULTY and STUDENTS of PHS for cooperating with us, and those of the ANNUAL STAFF who worked hard to help us. Also, without the help of Mr. Fesler, the photographer, and the patrons, it would have been impossible to produce the 1959 SAUK EE. In the future, when you recall your days at PHS, we hope you will leaf through the pages of this book and find in them many memories of days at PHS. - «•
