Poplar Bluff High School Poplar Bluff, Missouri Volume X LI 11 Foreword The KEYS TO ACHIEVEMENT are numerous. As we go through life, we will discover that Education is the first and most important of these keys; for it unlocks the door ol the mind. Achieve- ment is obtained by climbing just one step at a time; through the various school activities, the forming of warm friendships, and learn- ing fair play in sports. In these pages we will try to show the students of I’.B.H.S. the ways they have attained achievement. I 7 Frustration . . . Usual day More and more the world is coming to understand that education shapes the direc- tion and governs the trend of civilization. Both the state and federal government recognize the potency of education when it contributes money for the support of schools. There is a general belief among the leaders of the free world, that if this civilization is to exist, the population must be given understanding and efficiency through education. Probably the greatest chore yet to be done is eliminating the old prejudices, the old rivalries, the old suspicions and the old hatreds which have developed between Nations. Kducational progress is no longer something that we just hope for; it must be a reality for our own survival. Fred M. Morrow Superintendent of Schools LEFT TO RIGHT: Ray Penney, Secretary; Dr. A. C.

Decency, honesty, integrity, kind- ness, thoughtfulness andallthechristian virtues to make for you a full life. It has been a pleasure and inspiration to have had your friendship and fellow- ship the past three years. Cordially yours, E. T. Peters, Principal Claude E. Murray, Jr. Assistant Principal 15 The office personnel ofP.B.H.S. play an important part in the work- ings of our school. They take care of the many problems that flood the office hourly. Without them many things that we students take for granted would be missing from our school day. Office Personnel Senior girls get helpful information from Joyce and Terry.

Social Science courses bring out the inter- relationships between men and theirsurround- ings. To be historically minded” is to see things in relation and in perspective, and to judge tolerantly. Geography reveals the part men's own talents, ambitions, and limitations play in using and developing the landscape and its resources. Through sociology we learn to understand one another, for we can appreci- ate others only when we stand in theirshoes” and face their problems. We must remember how differently men have thought and acted in different times. We must always keep an open mind, ready to receive and weigh new evidence. All of this is included in the social sciences which scholars today study and teach. John Eastburn and Scott Tinscly find helpful information in a set of encyclopedia in their history class.

Here at Poplar Bluff Senior High all have the chance to develop their interests in many different fields, such as biology, chemistry and physics. This variety includes both biological and physical sciences for greater mental growth. JEWEL 1VESTER, B.S.

One of the most important facts about our world is that the objects in it can be counted and the masses measured. Without mathematics this would not be possible. Be- cause it is of such fundamental importance in almost all of the sciences, mathematics is necessary for a career in these fields. For that reason P.B.H.S. strides to im- press upon its students the value of courses in math. T. C. KEETER. B.S. Arkansas State Teachers College Algebra.

Organizations keep our calendar packed lull ol activity. These groups function in many and varied ways, but in every case- students learn to express them- selves and thus gain self confi- dence while enriching their school experience. Whether the end in view is a project, a dance, or a planned trip, organizations keep the student body on the go. No matter where your interests lie. there is an organization that is tailored for you. There are special interest groups that appeal tothose of us who are interested in teaching or science. For those who are- interested in French or Spanish matters there are groups with the same interests. Organizations oiler in their different ways something to interest and broaden the horizon of every student in school, so that each individual will know when he has found that KEY TO ACHIEVEMENT.

Snrrturx 'Irrasum FEATURES Features appear occasionally to be the silly side of school, but, in a sense, we learn while we dash about to occasional parties, games, and dances. All these social functions help us in actual practice to cope with today’s complex so- ciety. If this pan of school life takes precedence over classes, study, and homework, then it serves as a balance wheel and keeps us from being academic drones. We will remember wonderful teachers, but school life is imponant, too, be- cause it contains many of our happiest memories. The high and exciting moments of our extra- curricular activities are here re- corded so you can see how these things helped us to obtain another KEY TO ACHIEVEMENT.

Dear Janis: All the pretty girls in Missouri must be in school with you for the task of se- lecting a Queen and her attendants was not at all an easy one. However, I am happy to advise you that we at the House forty show have selected Miss LINDA SHIP- MAN as Queen of THE BLUFF along with Misses Karen Kief, Ruth Vanaman, Jennifer Weeks as princesses. We have also chosen Miss Delilah Mickey and Ruth Ann Singleton as attendants. My best wishes to you, Janis, and to your school, too, for being blessed with so much beauty. You will all certainly enjoy many happy days ahead. Sincerely, Art Linkletter 73 Jennifer Weeks Princesses Ruth Vanaman Attendants Delilah Mickey Ruth Ann Singleton Bluff Queen Linda Shipman % CLASSES-Janis McDaniel.

There is almost nothing that cannot be borrowed from them. . .pen and ink when you forget that this is theme day in English class, lunch money, gym shoes, book reports, their car, and sometimes, their girls. They have come up with you through the Sophompre Valentine Dance, the J unior-Senior l’rom. all those com- prehensive tests where we filled in the heavy black mark between the little lines, those black report card days with all sorts of grades, tough teachers and those all too few snap courses. They are green with you when you start at P.B. H.S., and they will be older and wiser as they graduate with you in a cloud of tears and Pomp and Circumstance knowing they have obtained the KEY TO ACHIEVEMENT. i Senior Class Personalities rr’ •MOST VERSATILE Bob Minncr, Sondra Jcffrcss Although the three years in senior high school are inseparable, the senior year seems to be the most memorable. As Sophomores we were inexperenced, asjuniorswewere Happy-Go-Lucky” but as Seniors we took on the responsi- bility of leadership and tried to set a good example to our undergraduates. Setting this example was easy after being guided by such good class presidents. As Sophomores Larry Tate helped us get used to our new home. Judy Montgomery helped us to make our mark in Senior High by producing the Best Prom Ever” and by carrying out in the Junior tradition with Slave Day, Sadie Hawkins, and who can forget those boxes of wrapping paper? Looking toward our Senior year it seemed that there was nothing left to work for. Terry Grobe proved us wrong when he brought out the magazines, the diploma lists, and our Senior rings. As we separate and go our own ways we each will try to be good examples of a young adult and an Alumni of P.B.H.S. 131 LEE ALCOTT Donnie Cope day dreams about his senior year. Seniors . . . CARLA D.
