Usherettes were the girls in evidence at junior and senior class plays and concerts dur- ing the school year. These were the maidens who were sometimes forced to grow tough in the matter of wrong seats and misplaced tickets, and who performed a difficult, essential, and sometimes unpleasant job with grace and good humor. These hardworking lassies are, in the back row, Dorothy Jarvis, Zayna Kindt, Betty Bowen, Julia Gibson and Jean Hale; in the front row, Mildred Oliver, Fannie Echols, Miss Meyers, Chloe Zella Sandefur and Patty Teeple. Here are the toilers who dig the trenches over which others rush to glory. They make the heroine gorgeous and the villain ruffianly, the hero handsome, and the other woman” evilly beautiful. They clamper along the gridiron ' and manipulate the curtains behind the bowing actors. They are the unknown soldiers of P. H. S.'s dramadom—and this their only monument. Martyrs shown, in the back row, Bill Lynch, Buddy Sands, Carl Koontz, Jack Thompson, Jim Cox, Howard Brown, Ted Flanagan, and Mr. Cox. In the front row are Dorothy Jarvis, Margaret Cooper, Rosemary Vallely, Flora Johnson, and Elizabeth Grijalva.

Reined and steered by Miss LaDine Cochran, the apparently green orators of a newly organized debate club practiced patiently, only to learn that due to the indefinite postpone- ment of the Northern Championship they had topped perfection in vain. Undaunted, however, they voiced forth to echo, in a remarkable display of talent, a heated mid-winter assembly program. Thus, their season ended, without climax, but their golden tongues were loosened and their reward was an unlimited supply of debatable'' knowledge. Among these hard working tongue wagglers were Robert Gardner, Carol Pitchford, Rex Groves, Nancy Basset, Joe Love, Robert Kettner, Betty Garbarino, Wayne Frerichs, Patty Tee- pie, Helen Grove. Vocal blasts from home bleachers supporting a multi-victorious team were under the direction of these agile leaders. Jane, June, and Frank led many Prescottiers in yelling till hoarseness prevented further utterances. This is the first year in many that P. H. S. has had the services of a boy yell-leader and the enthusiastic volume of his voice kept local spirits high even when the score was low. New, dynamite-laden yells added to the old stand-bys brought variety to the resounding din of the grandstand. Prescott is justly proud of its pretty yell-leading twins and their strong-voiced assistant and the grand work done by them. Many away-from-home-games saw our yell crew leading Prescott followers and side- tracking out of town attention with their friendly smiles and peppy vocal vibrations. Jane Bailer, June Bailer, and Frank Vallely have done a great job this year and P. H. S. cannot forget them.

Living up to the high standards of ex- cellence set in previous years, the as- sembly programs of 1941-42, under the direction of Miss Lillian Savage and Mr. H. Theodore Cox, delighted large student audiences. Included this year was a faculty assembly arranged and presented by members of the faculty, a parent assembly, the home-room skit contest and a lettermen's assembly featuring a play written by Mr. Cox.
