You know that even though you day as a Senior here is over, there will be another day — another year started by fall Perhaps for one of the few times in your life, you stop to remember the many times and the many circumstances you have walked by the same familiar scenes and have seen the same friendly people. You are pleased about the many friends you have made, because all of them have become an important part of you life. And you are glad of the memories that were woven so intricately into your life for the last three years. Through your inind flash events of a year — two years — three — a thousand things . . . We of the BLUFF SI AFF have tried to capture these memories and fuse them into the 1961 BLUFF. 3 dPcfda i ddujj' - ‘Migh fi r 4 r The and his experiment in group living e cfofestt it of Individual Talents There Is the Development of 'puCte Zeto 'DeeUc Ctoit mcAA ’THyxtCe Je 9%cU. To Miss Jeffords, who has served as librarian and dramatics instructor for the past thirty-seven years, the Bluff Staff dedicates the 1961 Bluff. At this time of her retirement from active service on the campus, we express to her not only the grati- tude of present students but the appreciation of all those former students who have profited by their association with her. May she be always sustained with the joy of achievement — the peace that comes from pride in many tasks well done. The library is kept in order by Miss Jeffords. Miss Jeffords directs leading players in Dramatics Club play. 16 Suft4nc tte tcCe it This past year as Superintendent of the Poplar Bluff Public Schools has been the most enjoyable school year that I have ever spent. The work that has been done by the boys and girls in the Poplar Bluff Senior High School has been most impressive. I am more than ever convinced that public education is now, as it always has been, a su- preme national and state concern. Our future safety and welfare de- pend upon the effective maintenance and operation of our public schools. Very truly, 17 ‘SotvtcC SctucatiM, LEFT TO RIGHT: Ray Penney, Secretary; Thadis Seifert; Dr. Fred Biggs; Dr. A. C. Gist; Robert Hyde, President; Jack Cope, Vice-President; Bernard Wheetley; W. R. Martin, Treas- urer. Every worthwhile institution necessitates having organizers who are willing to give freely of their time and energy'. Such are the members of our school board. These individuals insure high physical and educational standards for the Poplar Bluff school system. As students, we know that under the leadership of these people we shall secure everything necessary in attaining an education. 18 The success of The Bluff is due primarily to the Sponsors and the staff. We thank them for a job well done. May this edition of The Bluff be a happy reminder of your student days in Senior High. It has been a pleasure and an inspiration to work with the Seniors these past three years and I hope you have a rich, full life in the years ahead. If in some small way I have had a part in making your life a better one, then I have not worked in vain. Very sincerely. 19 E. T. Peters Principal Literature plays an important part in the Language Arts classes. To interpret the meanings of modern and traditional literature; to deter- mine the correct use of man’s most universal language; and to learn to express our ideas and convictions more effectively . . . these are the stepping-stones to discovering the vast, enormous area of Language Arts. Through themes, exercises, and compositions, the students of P.B.H.S. learn to state their thoughts to the fullest degree. That their knowledge will expand and their minds will broaden, they strive to make their native tongue more perfect in every detail. RUTH MINETREE. B.S.

This is indeed an important subject for in this present age and time there is a great need for many workers in the scientific field. LOUIS B SEWELL, B.S., M.A. Southeast Missouri State College Washington University Mathematics, Biology Math Club Sponsor As early as primitive man, mathe- matics has been important in man’s daily life. Mathematics, in its various branches, is an important tool for all Sciences. It is a branch of human ac- tivity which is concerned with logic. We as students may not be interested in mathematics, but we must realize that without mathematics our modem way of living would not be possible. This science is not only essential to our daily living, but it is the key to most vocational opportunities. 76 Science Sxaet “Relatione Mr. Sewell and a student review a trigonometry problem.

SxiAtetee To understand the world and its problems is a goal of today. As future citizens we must arouse in ourselves an interest in world affairs. We must develop national pride and national patriotism. We must have knowledge of the history’ and geography of the world, past and present. Social science is that field which will assist us in obtaining this goal. WILLIAM MILLER. B S.

This brings out the natural ability that is often stored up in many high school students. It broadens their knowledge of speech, foreign language, art, and music. Through these courses we strive to create new ideas, plan effectively, and pattern our lives for successful futures. JOE PRINCE, B M.

Sponsor Senior Class Sponsor In P.B.H.S. there are many phases of learning, but there are none so challenging as commerce. The world of business is opened to you through these fields of study. Beginning typists struggle with the tried and true a-s-d-f and j-k-1-;. Shorthand students groan when they find that there are only one hundred brief forms to memorize. Future lawyers and ac- countants eagerly study business law and bookkeep- ing. After perfecting skills in the basic fundamentals, students have available to them a class in secre- tarial training. It is here that actual office work is practiced. Many students leave P.B.H.S. and enter busi- ness, prepared to meet the challenge of the modern business world. 29 MARY R.

A clear vision of what this field offers is introduced to the students in this de- partment. For example, the responsibil- ities of the home are explained in the Home Economics Department. Through excellent guidance, the future homemak- ers of our country are given an idea of the many complex problems they will find themselves facing in later life. MYERS EGGERT, B S„ M S.

The human body thrives on physical and mental activity. Our minds can gain knowledge through the various academic subjects we take, but the structure which houses our minds must also be strong. This is the purpose of the physical education department of P.B.H.S. — to free our minds from everyday studies and to build stronger bodies. It also gives us a chance to develop our personalities by meeting other students, learning to work well with others through teamwork, and acquiring better sportsmanship, so that we, as future citizens, can lead our nation with educated minds as well as strengthened bodies.

This includes the Guidance Department, the Health Center, the Audio-Visual Department, and the Library.

Agriculture is a means of acquiring wealth for a na- tion; thus unique methods are a necessity in maintaining and promoting that wealth. Understanding our land and its functions goes hand in hand with the production of fundamental crops, and the management of livestock. These are among the numerous units of study that come under this essen- tial department. R E. RIDGE, B S. University of Missouri Vocational Agriculture F.F.A.

Now we see the pattern and understand, perhaps only vaguely, that we are being prepared to become part of an adult world which will be somewhat different from our high school days. We are willing to meet that world’s challenge with faith in ourselves and pride in our education. 45 CLEO ARRINGTON EDDIE ATWOOD KENNETH BARKER F.F.A. Secretary ’59.

This year was the year that set the foundation for our final year, and we learned that we must make the foundation solid and secure. So on we worked for that day when we would be looked upon by others, not as non- descript high school students, but as anchored Seniors who were sure of the future and had learned as much as possible from books and people met at school. 75 BARBARA ALLEN GARY ALLEN SHARON ALLENSWORTH MARBELINE ANDERSON SANDRA ANDERSON JERRY ARMES TOMMY ARMES ERMALENE BAKER SANDRA BAKER DONNA BEAL 20e SoU SovnytJurty , , , RICHARD BEHLING JUDY BENNETT PAT BENNETT CHARLES BERRY JUDY BETHEL GENE BIRDSONG BENJAMIN BLAIR RANDY BLOODWORTH LINDA BOWEN NANCY BOYD JAMES BRADLEY JOYCE BRAWNER KAY BRETT DRENDA BRIAN PAT BRISTOW 76 DOROTHY BROTHERS BARBARA BROWN LARRY BROWN PAT BROWNING DAVID BRYAN k m, !■- BONNIE BULLINER PEGGIE BULLOCK MARY BURTON WAYNE BURNLEY DALE BURNETT SHERRY BUSBY MARY CAPPER GLENDA CARMAN JACK CAVNESS KAY CHANCE DONNA CHATMAN ELDON CHATMAN LEROY CHATMAN CAROLYN CHRISTIAN JANET CLARK EZRA COX CARL CRAFT FRANKIE CRAIG JEANNE CRAIN PAT CREACH Cl © LANA CRITES MARIE CROOK SHERRILL DARE RANDY DARLIN VIRGINIA DARNELL a tcC 7t z tc t SONJA DIGGES BILL DOWD PATSY DOYLE LINDA DUGGER JUDY DUNCAN DENNY DUNN BONNIE EDWARDS RITA ELLEDGE ROBERT ELMORE BARBARA EPPS JIM ESSARY MYRON FAIRLESS CHARLES FRENCH DAVID FRENCH MARTHA GAINES PAUL GALLIAN JIM GARRETT JUDY GARRETT LINDA GARRISON JAMES GIFFORD JEAN GORANSON KATIE GRAHAM JOE GmjiY CHARLES GREER HARVEY GREER ROSEMARY HAMM BARBARA HANKS JERRY HARRIS CONNIE HAYS CHARLES HEDSPETH SAMMY HELTON ROBERT HENDRICKSON RUTH HENDRIX WANDA HENSLEY CHESTER HENSON CHARLES HESTER SHEILA HETTMANSPERGER SHIRLEY HICKS ALTI HIGH LINDELL HILLIS Occt ScAoot .

PAT BOONE TELEPHONE: CRESTVIEW 4-0751 Miss Barbara Myers, Editor — “The Bluff” Senior High School Poplar Bluff, Missouri Dear Barbara: I can't tell you how much of a pleasure it was to judge your pretty contestants. My, but you have some nice look- ing gals out there in Poplar Bluff! It certainly was a difficult decision to make — I’d really like to call each girl a winner. However, I was finally able to choose Miss Judy Jett as Beauty Queen of “The Bluff” along with Misses Judy Kennctt. Emily Wolpers and Mar- tha Stanley as Maids of Honor. I have also chosen Misses Kathie Morrison and Charlotte Wolpers for honorable mentions. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me the privilege of making this selection, and to congratulate all of the candidates and wish them all the luck and success in the future. Wannest wishes to you, Barbara, and to the entire Student Body of the Senior High School.

The clear, cold air, the colorful autumn leaves and soaring spirits incited the exciting sparkle of Football Homecoming. As the Mules met the Cape Girardeau Tigers in a thrilling seven to seven tie, the spectators roared in de- light. After the game the loyal supporters of P.B.H.S. were pleased to witness the crowning of our lovely queen and her two attendants; the only climax fitting for this event was the Homecoming Dance held in salutation of the occasion.

Candidates were chosen from each class to compete for the title of Daisy Mae and LiT Abner. Responsible for the success of this affair was die informal atmosphere created by the Dog Patch setting and style of dress. This offered the students a chance to drop formality and let their hair down. While participating in the various activities such as: the sale of corn-cob pipes, and the ever- true “shotgun” weddings performed by Joe Smith, “Justice of the Peace.” During the evening there was an air of suspense that prevailed up to the time in which Nancy Boyd and Ernie Richardson were crowned Daisy Mae and LiF Abner for 1960-61. 114 The seasonal atmosphere of autumn filled the gym as couples in calico and blue denim whirled to lively square dance numbers. Glasses and tin cups tinkled in a toast with cider and doughnuts, while some boys’ and girls’ munched on bright red apples. The highlight of the Bamwarining was the crowning of Barbara Harris, F.F.A.

Yea Mules: No other introduc- tion is necessary. This can easily be distinguished as the sound heard coming from our enthusi- astic cheerleaders at pep assem- blies, bonfires, and especially games. The cheerleaders of P.B.H.S. help to raise the spirit of the team, and through their loy- alty, they spread their pep, vigor, and desire of winning to the en- tire student body. Leading the band at football games, basketball games and parades are the Majorettes of P.B.H.S. These majorettes have contributed a great deal to our band and have shown loyalty and school spirit throughout the years. While doing their drills at the half- time of all of our home games, they add color to the athletic events. Majorettes for three years. Majorettes turn to cheering! Cheering . . . easy????

Z4 et z£l There was an air of excitement as the strains of the processional march began and the 1961 Homecoming Queen, preceded by her attendants and the retiring queen, slowly advanced to the center of the court. Voices were hushed and all eyes were on Miss Penney Marshall as the crown was placed upon her head and the traditional kiss given proclaiming her the Mules’ Basketball Queen for the 1961 season. The Queen and her court then proceeded to the stage which was beautifully decorated in the customary' maroon and white, to reign regally over the Poplar Bluff — Fredricktown game. The evening was climaxed with a dance held in their honor. “I crown you, Queen Penney!” TCaxett THu ietC Features: Hank Reiley, Janice Garrett, and Becky Ponder Circulation — Makeup: Blake Hyde and Ronnie Nall Advertising: Ronnie King, Sue Warren, and Bill Morrow Sports: Jim Stovall and Mickey Stewart 122 ‘SCu en.

Although there was concern over the deadline and decoration problems, the gym was completed in fine order, the walls and ceiling frothed in traditional red and white. When the couples had arrived and the Valentine Queen and her attendants had taken their presiding places, every one knew that the dance was a big success. They know also that this night would be remembered long after the streamers and hearts were removed. Safe£o n ie Scveet6e sit ee t Some Bruce adds a few final touches.

Officers: lisa Prinz, Secretary-Treasurer; John Thies, President; Bruce Schremp, Vice President. 148 Science The awareness of the need for greater knowledge in this vast field is the foundation of the Science Club.

Being created with infinitely varied tastes and prefer- ences, each person has the need of some guidance.

By working together as a unit, the Poplar Bluff Senior High Band achieved a greater sense of accomplishment. To work hard to have good half-time performances, night rehearsals as well as everyday practices were needed. After football season ended, basketball season came and the Pep Band started. Toward the end of the school year a different era of Band life began — concert season. Through football games, basketball games, parades, and concerts, the Band worked hard and showed loyalty throughout the school year.
