' THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION GOOD CITIZENSHIP AWARD Each year the D. A. R. organization sponsors a Good Citizenship Award for the high school senior girls who have the qualities of outstanding citizens. The girl is chosen by the faculty from a group of three nominated by the senior class. Selec- tion is made on the following basis: dependability Qtruthfulness, honesty, punctualityj service Ccooperation, helpfulness, responsibilityj leadership Cpersonality, self-control, initiativeb patriotism Cunselfish, loyalty to American ideals! Her name is then sent to the state chairman of the D. A. R. where a drawing decides the Good Citizen of the state. This procedure is followed in every state in the Union and in the District of Columbia. The forty-nine selected girls each receive a S100 war bond. In previous years the girls were given a trip to Washington, D. C. with all expenses paid. The Class of 1944 is proud to have Priscilla Coffey represent this school. This is the first year that sisters received the award: Carol Coffey Class of 1942 Priscilla Coffey Class of 1944 As yet no one from Polo has been chosen to represent Illinois, but the girls who have been granted the honor of being chosen Good Citizens are: Evelyn Eckerd 1937 Velva Gatz 1941 Bettie White 1938 Carol Coffey 1942 Joan Joiner 1939 Marlys Jean Blough 1943 Betty Patterson 1940 Priscilla Coffey 1944 NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Every senior boy who has taken part in sports looks forward to being elected a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. The society has set up definite standards that the boy must meet. He must have participated in one or more major sports and have made a definite contributiong he must have higher than aver- age scholastic standing Ca B average or better is acceptablebg and he must be a good school citizen. The boys who have won this coveted award from 1925 through 1943 are: Robert Clark 1925 Lawrence Reynolds 1930 LaVerne Keeney 1925 Eldon Coffman 1932 Henry Coffman 1926 Richard Folk 1933 Howard Livingston 1926 Walter Bischoff 1934 Carl Spear 1926 George Boddiger 1935 Lester Brown 1928 John Savage 1938 Melvin Hurdle 1928 Lloyd Woodruff 1939 Fred Davis 1929 Jack Terry 1942 - Richard Franks 1930 .lU..

A quiet, unassuming lad Always happy, never sad. A blond, teen-age girl who is desirous of a small but important part of the United States Navy. Always cheerful, always bright Always there to make things right. Sleep, the bringer of pleasant visions. Not a flower, not a pearl But just a quiet little girl. Photo Jim he was called in dem days. If anyone knows an easy way to get out of work, Harold thought of it first. Gifted with numerous abilities, she plays a prominent part in senior life. A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In springtime from the cuckoo-bird. Keith is one of the biggest fellows in the class in size, ability, and popularity. Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky. Doesn't say much but blushes at the opportune time. Her eyes are deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at evening. Avid reader of the finest literature Ccomic magazines a specialty.D All great women are dying, and I'm not feeling so well. Ever a friend of all Winter, summer, spring, and fall. A smile you always seem to see But very seldom hear. Subtle wiles are in her smiles. Eyes so black you seldom see. A man of knowledge. He sees all, tells all, and knows nothing. CBut don't believe ALL we tell you.D Bashful, blond, beguiling. A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye. ..l1.. Pc:-Is ...... ..... T he C glg ..... .... 1 944 Senior Activities JOHN S.

You never know she's around until someone tells a joke. Although the boy is small, he has the pep that beats them all. Of all the jokes he loves to tell Most of them have a peculiar .... odor. All good things come in small packages. Thoughtful and reserved with a far-away look in her eye. Silence is golden . . . only Burns doesn't know it. He really knows his corn and we don't mean jokes. He's a super-farmer. For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. Dark hair and eyes, but rather light hearted. Always waiting to put in his two cents. Reserved until he is with a group of his friends. Did you ever see a dream walking? Short and chubby, but not at all snubby. Quietness and patience are like gold to those who can use them wisely. Always into mischief . . . but always willing to help feither to get in or get outj. Ten years older in looksg ten years younger in behavior . . . sometimes. Quiet but never dull. When there is dance music around, no grass grows under her feet. One never knows what to expect after those meditation periods of hers. If football were music, he would be a whole brass band. Jeannie with the light brown hair. ..l3.. Pc:-is ....... .......

Mighty pretty rings, too. They haven't had much of a chance to show us what they can do about a play, but just the same we will be looking forward to a nice banquet. Lots of luck to you, Juniors!

They are taking an active part in school organizations and have made quite an impression upon everyone in general, especially the freshmen. I'm sure Mrs. Robb will agree that they are one of the finest classes she has ever taught. Y On October 13, the sophomores had their annual fall picnic at the Pines. In spite of bad weather, the class enjoyed a supper of barbecues, potato chips, pickles, and pop. The class also showed evidence of some musical and art appreciation, for they sponsored a Christmas dance on December 22. We wish the sophomores luck in their jaunt through high school and through life.

Pcl-is ..... ...... T hg C clg ....... 1944 The Freshman Class On September 1, 1943, a group of timid and bewildered youngsters entered the heavy doors of P. C. H. S. With trembling knees they crawled up the stairs. At once they were hailed with, Hello, you green freshies! and, not knowing what it was all about, one of the bolder fellows tripped gaily up the stairs to third fioor. My, what a place! he thought. He saw a big, strong-looking senior and asked him what every- one meant when they called him a green freshief' Immediately the freshman came back down to second floor, much faster than he went up! All of a sudden he came to the conclusion that he wasn't wanted up there. Silently resenting it, but very happy to be out of grade school, he started to work very hard along with all the rest of the freshmen to get on the Honor Roll. At first there were some difficulties such as finding the right room at the right time: learning the names of all the teachers: but there were the sophomores, always ready to give the least information. The freshman class elected officers and made excellent selection, suitable to everybody. As September was wearing away, this promising young class heard from an un- known source that there was to be a Freshman Initiation soon. What it was, they cou1dn't guess. Finally, they became so curious that they felt that they simply MUST know, for they realized vaguely that it must concern them. If it didnlt, why was their name attached? The dictionary would help, of course! So the very next time they had a library period, out came old Mr. Webster to help hunt up a certain troublesome word. I-Imm! What's this? It says here-'initiate: to introduce by a first act, originate, begin! Whatever can that mean? Little did they know exactly what was in store for them. Finally came a day when everything was tense in every Home Room. There was an assembly the first thing. Then did the worthy freshies find out what Initiation really meant. It meant wearing old dresses all day long and putting lipstick on the boys. For the girls, it meant pushing a peanut across the gym fioor with one's nose, or eating worms, Although the upper classmen thought it all too short, the freshmen were actually glad when that day was over. Then, when the dust died down from Initiation, the freshmen decided that they weren't having enough social life, so up popped an invitation to a dance sponsored by the freshmen. Almost everybody cooperated by coming and it was an excellent dance with plenty of punch. Right now they're all waiting not-so-patiently for Christmas vacation, and then afterwards-oh boy! Semester Exams! We're really proud of our freshmen, and wish them lots of luck in their future high school days.

A. A. also has a council composed of the chairmen of the different sports. Together with the officers of the organization they act as an executive body for the group. The following members were selected as chairmen: Basketball - Doris Weigle Volleyball - - Elizabeth Keefer Basketball - Dolores Cooper Bowling - Mary Ellen Olsen Paddle Tennis - Ruby Jean Isley The club meets twice a month alternating business meetings with play meetings. The girls started off their club year with the Buddy Picnic, having the freshman girls and all new girls as their guests. The freshmen are proud of the fact that they have more members in G. A. A. than any other class. On November 9, the G. A. A. held the annual Football Banquet for the football boys. The color scheme was gold, blue, and white. At this time Coach Peterson award- ed the football letters and Gerald Stuff and Edwin Strauss were elected co-captains for next year. The Christmas Tea Dance was held in the gym on December 10. All girls in school, faculty women, and wives of faculty men were guests of the G. A. A. Music for the dancing was furnished by records. Tea was poured by the officers of the club. G. A. A. is having tournaments between classes this year. The sophomores are the proud winners of the volleyball tournament. The basketball tournament is yet to come. As a way of making money, the G. A. A. sold hot dogs and candy bars at football games and continued to sell candy bars at basketball games. The club is also planning to sponsor a movie later this year. The girls in the G. A. A. are united in a'happy body under this pledge: I promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls' Athletic Association by promoting interest in athletics and the out-of-doors: by living so that I may be healthy and strong, by making good sportsmanship a con- stant factor in my conduct. ..25..

A. chapter is part of a national organization of boys enrolled in vo- cational agriculture that is active in every state of the United States and in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The enrollment in our chapter this year is thirty-two members. The officers are: President ---- Willis Brantner Vice-president - - Gerald Stuff Secretary - - Robert Duncan Treasurer - - - Robert Clayton Reporter - - - Burns Newcomer Adviser: M r. Fry Our chapter has a definite program of work divided into nine main divisions with a committee responsible for carrying out the work of each division. Every member of the organization is on at least one of the committees, this insuring a more active participation by all members. The divisions and their committee chairman are as follows: Leadership - - Gerald Stuff Cooperative Activities Marvin Gatz Supervised Practice - - Robert Duncan Publicity - - - Burns Newcomer Community Service Robert Cunningham Earnings and Savings - Robert Clayton Scholarship - - Elliott McCleary Conduct of Meetings - - Willis Brantner , Meetings are held twice a month on the second and fourth Thursday, fifth period, with a few additional night meetings. Our chapter was well represented at the State F. F. A. Convention held at the Uni- versity of Illinois last June. Elliott McCleary, who had previously won the sectional public speaking contest, represented our chapter in the state public speaking contest. Lyle Deuth received the State Farmers Degree, the highest recognition given by the state organization. Glyndon Stuff was selected as the state vice-president from this section of the state. Our members have been active in helping to win the war by buying war bonds and stamps regularly, by gathering scrap iron and waste paper, and by being employed in the important job of food production. As evidence of our effort in food production, our chapter received an award from the state organization because over 90 percent of the members had increased the size of their projects over the previous year. The purpose of our F. F. A. is summed up by our motto which is: Learning to do. Earning to live. Doing to learn. Living to serve. ..27.. Pc:-is .... .......

Due to the conflicting schedules of many students, who wished to be members, the club this year was reorganized so that the entire student body automatically became the new Pep Club having meetings before each home game. Songs, yells, and skits are enjoyed by everyone at each short meeting. The Pep Club committee, who makes decisions for the club and plans the year's activities, consists of two representatives from each class. The representatives elected this year are: Senior Class, Eva Cole and Herman Ludwig: Junior Class, Robert Dun- can and Vernon Linker: Sophomore Class, Jeanette Lang and Robert Claytong Fresh- man Class, Mary Lee Donaldson and Ethel Shadewaldt. During the basketball season the club is responsible for the entertainment at the half of the first team game. Some of the most interesting stunts performed have been: a barber shop quartette, a minstrel show, and a beauty contest for boys representing different schools in the conference. The present cheerleaders are: Audrey Binkley, Lila Gatz, Gwen Miller, Juniors, and Eva Cole, Senior. Tryouts will be held sometime this year for Freshman and Sophomore teams of cheerleaders, who will be chosen by the student body. The pur- pose of selecting these teams this year is to give them practice so they will be able to carry on after the present cheerleaders have graduated. The officers of the club are: President, Elliott McClearyg Vice-president, Doris Weigleg Secretary-Treasurer, Willis Brantnerg Adviser, Mrs. Robb. During the football season in former years the club sponsored a homecoming, en- tertaining the alumni and the school. However, due to conditions resulting from the war, the Pep Club committee decided to eliminate the annual homecoming this year. ..28.. PCI-is ....... .....

Everyone put on a lei to make the mood truly festive and then dined upon the is- lander's fare of pineapple, nuts, etc. The palm trees that were swaying in the breezes and life-like Hula dolls in the background made the atmosphere more Hawaiian. Keith Coffman, president of the junior class, was toastmaster for the eveningg and Dan Terry gave a farewell speech to the seniors. The senior president, Glyndon Stuff, then responded. The Waikiki Maids sang several selections followed by the main event of the evening: Mr. Is1ey's talk on Tomorrow. This speech was appropriate for the event and thanks again, 'Fessor Isley. Moving pictures on Hawaii and dancing to the music of the Beachcombers corn- pleted another happy evening in the history of P. C. H. S. Aloha, to you, friends, to you one and all.

Did'ja hear about the play those seniors of P. C. H. S. presented December 3, 1943? If ya didn't, you missed somethin'. It was a right good play, even with substitutions at the last minit. There was a flu epidemic mowin' everyone down, an' it caught a couple in the cast too: but two willin' helpers what they call understudies helped the rest of the cast save the day. By the way, here's a list 0' the characters: James Custer Harriet Custer Emogene Custer Jimmy Custer Johnny Newsom Esther Custer - Philip White - Ida Mae Walters - Vernette Cooper - Burns Newcomer - Willis Brantner - Dorothy Davis Csubstitutej Louise Binkley Terence Van Ayrsdale - Keith Coffman Lavinia Platt - Janet Stenmark Lavernia Platt - Elaine Hummel Betty Van Ayrsdale - Patricia Clothier Claire Van Ayrsdale - Priscilla Coffey Csubstitutel Beth Lang Georgy Little Bear - James Buck Wal, it seems like this Johnny is a visitin' Jimmy Custer at th' Mountain View Ranch, when the Custers get a sassy telegram from two aunts of Esther's fellow. It 'pears these aunts are from Bos- ton an' they are comin' out West to see what it's all about. Wal, the Custers don't like this telegram, so they plan a little excitement Clike an Injun raid and squaws and braves running aroundb to en- tertain the aunts when they get there. BUT! The Custers didn't know that the two old maids that they nearly scared out of their wits were NOT the aunts from Boston. So, when the aunts showed up and the boys, not knowing who they are until later, get rather sweet on them, things are in a mess. Wal, to git on with the story, Georgy Little Bear has been havin' some fun of his own all this time. He sees how unfair the Custers were at jumpin' to conclusions, so he plans a little sur- prise party to teach the Custer family a lesson. Now it's their turn to be scared out of ten years' growth by another Injun raid an' an attempt to scalp Esther. Things suddenly switch to normal, an' the Custers start wonderin' if they hadn't dreamed all of this. Wal, the boys git the gals, Geor- gy is revealed as Emogene's cake thief, and everythin' ends with a bang. An', folks, thar's the yarn in a nutshell. The Haunted High School A brisk and tingling comedy about ordinary high school students was given April 16, 1943. At Eagle High School, where the play takes place, it has become a tradition to celebrate Youth's Day once every year by reversing the positions of students and teachers. Shortly after the play opens, the principal of the high school has been run over by an automobile, resulting in his death. Two other inexplainable accidents occur, adding to what turns out to be a baffling mystery. Lights flash on and off: strange noises come from deserted classroomsg and characters turn up missing.

We know we would never trade a minute of this time for anything else. Many of the friendships we have formed here will be with us throughout our whole lives, but certainly none of them will be forgotten.l In years to come, while leafing through the pages of this CYCLE, you will recall clearly these cher- ished faces and events. May the future be as pleasant for you as the past has been for us and in years to come may future seniors have as much pleasure in compiling their CYCLE as we did. ..37... 1 2 I 1 S Z 1 I 5 I 3 Q i i 1 I i 1 Q I i 1 I I . 1 1 I I 1 i
