We have used TIME as a theme for this book because TIME is the most precious of all the natural gifts of man, for all other gifts depend upon TIME. TIM is shared by all alike, whether kings or beggars, and it makes up our lives. Every bit of TIME wasted is a bit of life wasted Long before you are old, you will regret the TTME you wasted in your youth, but you'll never regret the TIME you gave to your books and teachers. These are the happy yearsg remember them. If the yearbook we have prepared for you this year can serve as a reminder to you of your days spent here at PHS, then our purpose is fulfilled. With this in mind, we present to you the 1951 HILLTOP. Sincerely yours, Sue Davis, Editor 1 -- '- Ssperzlgtmhent Scluml The passing of time brings honor and pride to the school whose students find their rightful place in the World and live happy, contented, useful lives. That is the only reward an educator seeks as he spends his time and effort with the youth of today. May the passing of each day bring you nearer to the realisation of your dreams and your ambitions. Fame and fortune msy smile on some of yon, but nothing will bring you greater pleasure than to live agsln your school dsys through your yearbook, the HILLTOP of 19 51. Sincerely yours J. B.

H. S. and also lived through several close calls from the end of a broom. I've been living in an antique shop since the summer of 1951. I just couldu't stay around P. H. S. after the Class of 751 left. It would be just too quiet and serene. However, l've been having a few laughs scaring antique hunters that come into Pop's Antique shop. Some Fun! Occasionally, when business becomes slow, I slip from the world of reality through a secret. All I do is crawl into an old lamp, and the Genie takes care of the rest. On my last trip, I found some very interesting facts. Although it has been ten years since Ilvc seen my old pals from the Class of '51, I was able to locate all ot' them, and here are my findings. J. D. Mummert, a famous horse trainer, lost his shirt at the Kentucky Derby last year. How did he know that Mosquito Bite would be scratched! Clinton Baugh thought a career in the Navy was what he wanted. However, he changed his mind when he got to Hawaii and found they had a grass shortage. Clinton came to the rescue and started a grass farm. Bill Blaker, one of the roving kind, has upheld the tradition of the Navy. Cap'n Blaker has a girl in every port just like at P. H. S., where it was two or three in each class. Marian Conley is now playing the lead in the glittering Broadway musical, Two Girls and a Sailor. Ronnie Coburn is now employed by the Burma Shave Company. He travels all over the country painting jingles on Burma Shave signs. His latest: He tried but could be no Woman's slave-Til someone told him about Burma Shave. Dale McLaughlin is still in the army. After being busted umpteen times, he has finally decided to follow the policies of the President. Carolyn Sue Paulich recently replaced the Lady from 29 Palmg rings, etc. Madge Wood, congresswoman, is in Washington fighting for Freedom of Women. Wayne Dresker is projectionist at one of the big theatres in Kansas City. One of those fellows that lets the film run out right at the most interesting part of the picture. Floyd Fchr, who now resides in Fairbanks, Alaska, has quite a business. He operates a shop called Floyd's Fur. He's married and confesses his wife is the Belle of the Yukon, but she's a pain in the neck to him. Paul Fletcher is now a cattle and horse rancher. You should see the fancy cut manes his horses sport. He learned how to barber with the help of Jim Davis, and a few other fellows from Pleasanton. Bill Harris' smile has been made famous by the Pepsodent Company. Boicourt was so proud of him that they made him honorary mayor. Dorothy Mayhugh is now acclaimed the world's foremost mathemetician, being accredited for finding the Mayhugh Theory of Confusion. Carolyn Black realized her dream of working with children. She was first employed at a day nursery ln Kansas City and then started a nursery of her own, only from a different angle. She confessed to me that it was much easier to raise orchids than urchins. Richard Mitchell is now editor of time Woman's Home Companion. Digger O'James is starting a fancy Mortician Shoppe, and people are just dying to go to him, He insists that everyone try his layaway plan. Juanita Umphcnour became a model after graduation. She appears in all leading magazines. If you want to see her, just thumb through the Woman's Home Companion. Judy Stone is now a jingle singer on radio and TV. She is currently unemployed since NBC refused to tele- vise Singing in the Bathtub , for Lifebuoy, her sponsor. Sam Boyd tPersonality Kidl is still keeping the road between Pleasanton and Pittsburg well oiled with his old '39 Ford. LaVerne is now a famous painter and recently Completed, in oil, a scene of Pleasanton's Main street as she remembers it a decade ago. lt wasn't LaVerne that did Pleasanton in oil ten years ago. After Richard Weston refreived his Eagle Scout award, he decided to be a good scout and go out and scout for another Toni-Twin. Carole Johnson, while walking down the street the other day in a pair of her spikes, accidentally turned her ankle and injured her index finger, and to think it was on the eve of her debut as pianist with the Marine band. Sue Davis, faln0uS U111SiC81 C01119dy star, replaced Mary Martin in South Pacific, The best number in the show is Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair. A natural for Sue, Thomas McDonald, after an unlucky experience, became an insurance salesman. He isn't found sleeping on the job and lives UD to the Saying, ThGl'e'S 110 0116 with endurance like the ma.n who sells insurance. Sylvia Stutes has amassed a fortune since leaving P. H. S. While going through nurses training, she struck upon a new idea in cosmetics. SinC6 Danvake Inakeuv was so successful, how could her EGG makeup fail? Es- pecially since it comes in three types: Omlet, Scrambled a.nd Harrlboiled. Alice Secrest is a radio actress and can currently be heard in the leading role of the soap opera, When a Girl Marries. Dean Sweany was a judge for the ' Miss America contest at Atlantic City this year. Even in his high school daze. he was an authority on Colorado women.

With an enrollment of nineteen students, the juniors started their third year of high school with Miss Yencic and Mr. Washler as sponsors. Although the class was small, they co-operated among themselves giving the other classes a taste of strong competition. They chose as their HILLTOP king and queen candidates, Dick Wilson and Virginia Kauffman. The class play, Petticoat Ranch, put on by members of the class and directed by Miss Miller, proved to be a success and showed promising talent.

We have made an attempt tio bring to all the students the concerning features on the hill. We have only a few pages in which to do this, so we have tried to pick out the main events of the year to record. This HILLTOP is not only a book of memories, but also one of knowledge to in- spire everyone toward a better and more complete education. Upper left: Shirley Herring, Assist.

Although journalism was new to the girls, they proved to have the knack of reporting and keeping the students up to date on all the hap- penings of the school, telling when, where, and how lt happened. The prlvllege of belng editor was passed around to all the girls, glving them a little know- ledge of the responsibilities and work ln publish- lng a paper. With the helpful and practical assistance of Mrs. Forsyth, the sponsor, the paper ran smoothly and went on sale each slx weeks.

It was a rlp-roaring start for the Blu Jays. During the first quarter Mitch carried the ball over the goal line. The extra polnt was also made. During the second quarter both sldes scored. The final score was 19 to 6. In the second game with Kincaid, the Blu Jays got off to a bad start after making a touchdown that dldn't count. The boys in blue finally made up for it in the se cond quarter when Boyd made a touchdown. Kincaid then made a touchdown which caused everyone to be a little worried about the score. The Blu Jays soon settled the contest by making another touchdown making the final score 12 to 7. With these two victories under their belt, the Blu Jays felt more confident and went on to win a thlrd vlc- tory over Bronson with a score of 18 to 6. The fourth game with Parker proved to be s thriller. At the half, the score was 13 to 0 ln Pleasanton's favor. Due to a fumble at the kick off by the Blu Jays, Parker recovered the ball and drove on for a touch- down. Later they intercepted a lateral and made a second touchdown, The score ended with a tle of 13 to 13. The next game with La Cygne proved to be the only defeat the Blu Jays suffered during the season, Thg score was 14 to 0 ln favor of the Indians. Pleasanton won the next game, however, and retalliated with a 24 to 7 win over Blue Mound. The game with Loulsburg proved to be a close one. At the half the score was 6 all. The two teams battled on until the last few seconds when Mitchell went over for the Blu Jay's second touchdown to win. The fourth annual Homecoming game was played with Mound City. The night was cold but the heat from the gridlron offset any discomfort the large crowd of spectators might have experienced. When the final count was taken, both teams were even, a count of 6 all for both teams. Fellows whose names appears on the plgskin parade of PHS this year should be given a great deal of credit. Although a flrst place trophy was not awarded they certainly earned lt ln the eyes of their loyal supporters. sl ,l A mmihall FRONT ROW: tLeft to rightj, Parker, Bradley, Blaker, Fletcher, Mummert, Mitchell SECOND ROW: Coach Stegge, D, Mitchell, Coburn, Henderson, Cupples, Blevin, Boyd. THIRD ROW: Hudsbeth, Heien, Dunlap, Weston, McLaughlin, Wilcox, Hoover. 3535553553239 A perfect record in the county league was accredited the Blu Jays' cage squad again this year. Several other trophies were awarded the Linn County Champions, Wilell first place was taken at both the County Tournament played at Blue Mound and the District Tournament played at Greeley. Three men with a year of first-string caging under their belts were on Coach Stegge's starting quintet this year. Mitchell, Blaker, and lvlummert along with Fletcher, Bradley. and Parker displayed the brand of heads-up basketball that has been so prevalent on the local court during the past several years. Playing on the Reserve squad last year, Fletcher, Bradley, and Parker proved their worth and ability throughout the entire season as strong members of the hoopsters this year. The Blu .lays opened the season this year by meeting the Mound City Eagles on the Mound City court and pushed up a final score of 63 to 33, to win the game. Back home again the local cagers defeated Parker by a score of 50 to 33. Following the two beginning wins, the Blu Jays again won over their opponents by a 37 to 32 win over Arcadia. Two other victories were charted for the Blu Jays before the Christ- mas Holidays, with wins of 52 to 25 over Prescott and 62 to 24 over Bronson. The Blu Jays came back after the Holiday season a little sluggish and for the first time in the season, the opponents edged in and made the first score of the game when the local cagers met the La Cygne Indians on the La Cygne court. The gante ended with a tie, so an overtime was played with Pleasanton winning 43 to 41. After almost dropping the previous game to La Cygne, the Blu Jays romped Blue Mound on the local court 66 to 53. The following game on the local court was also won by the sparked-up Blu Jays and Mound City was defeated 64 to 44. However, an off-stride quintet met Osawatomie in a non-leaguer and through some negli- gence, the opponents edged out and won the game 31 to 35. Fired up again, the Blu Jays retaliated and chalked up three straight wins in league competition, by win- ning over Parker 64 to 38, Prescott 39 to 25, and Blue Mound 53 to 41. The Blu Jays took to the road and returned a game to Osawatomie, and much to the surprise of the Osawatomie team and their local supporters, the Blu Jays won the game on the Osawatomie court by a comfortable margin of 34 to 25. The last league game of the season was played on our local court with the wild La Cygne Indians. After clipping their feathers good by winning the game 65 to 37, the Blu Jays were acclaimed county champions. Before the County Tournament began, two other games were won by the champs when we defeated Kincaid 38 to 33 and Louis- burg 69 to 33. At the County Tournament, held at Blue Mound, the Blu Jays won a hard fought game their first night of play, when they defeated La Cygne by a score of 59 to 41. Into the finals, Pleasanton placed first by winning over Blue Mound by the close score of 50 to 44. In another out-of-conference game, Pleasanton was defeated by the Fort Scott High School team, partly due to the fact that a tournament-weary group made the trip, and also the competition was of a somewhat different nature than the Blu Jays were accustomed. Greeley, Kansas was the location of the District Tournament this year and Pleasanton took first-place by defeating Parker, Greeley, and Lane by scores of 56 to 29, 40 to 31, and 31 to 28 respectively. The Regionals played at Garnett was their next step. The old jinx seemed to be with them again this year, and, in their first game, after fighting hard to win, Overbrook finally won the game by a slight margin, Pleasanton 32g Overbrook 34. Thus, ended another triumphant year of basketball at P. H. S. Track FRONT ROW: ulen to rightl, Boyd, D. McLaughlin. Klovtensteln. Cupples, Springer. SECOND ROW: Coach stegge, Mccauum.
