Faculty Burdette Nicklaus Retires; Devotes 34 Years to Education Burdette Nicklaus first came to Powers in August, 1941. During his 34 years of teaching he helped students understand concepts in music, library, and French. At one time, he held the position of superintendent at P.H.S. When asked about how it felt to be retiring, his reply was, “You can’t work at a place half your life without having feelings for it.” He said he plans to relax and travel. The teachers and student body gave him a placjue to show their gratitude toward him. A gold watch was also presented to him by Joe Shorb, representing the school board, at com- mencement in appreciation for the 34 years of service he has given to the school district. Science teacher Rod Petersen received the teacher of the year award. Selection, by majority vote of the student body, was based on character, personality, and teaching ability.

Girls' Athletic Association, Letter men Lettermen Eye Universal Gym Much of the time of the Lettermen’s Club was spent earning money for a universal gym, a cooperative effort between the school district and the club. They sold socks and supporters and sponsored a Bingham 168 basketball tournament. March 24 they held a donkey basketball game. The Girls Athletic Association entered the Chamber of Commerce Christmas window decorating contest and won a ten-dollar prize for the most original design. The girls also sold bumper stickers to raise money to help send interested people to the Girls State Bas- ketball Tournament in Portland March 8 and 9. In April the G.A.A. and Lettermen’s Club held a bingo to help pay for the universal gym. Page 22: (Above) C.A.A.
