The Booster Club proclaimed him to be the Epitome of a Badger Booster. Seventeen years of service to Prescott High School and its students have been unselfishly given by Dr. William R. Shepard. As team physician for the Badgers, Dr. Shepard must be present at all football games and con- stantly ready to perform his important duties. This he has done since 1950, when one of the coaches approached him with the idea. Dr. Shepard was born in Stockton, California. He attended the College of the Pacific and graduated from Berkeley in 1941. After three years of college, Dr. Shepard changed his career from that of dress designer to doctor. After finishing medical school, he spent a year in the navy. Wanting a chance to see China, he and a friend requested to be sent there when their base broke up. Instead, he was sent to Whipple, his friends to North Carolina, and the rest of the men were sent to the Orient. Dr. Shepard met his wife, Dorothy, while she was working as a secretary at Whipple. Mrs. Shepard was a resident of Jerome and is a PHS alumnus. They have two children, Terri, 11, and Bill, 8. Dr. Shepard now has a private practice in the Professional Building. His office displays some objects from the Chinese culture that he remembers from his childhood in the Chinatowns of Stockton, California. He likes sketching, especially architectural drawing. Some hobbies in- clude hunting, fishing, old guns, and golf. 2— F. D.

PHS Stage '67 Just as the producer, director, actors, script, and scenery make up any kind of production, so do the administration, teachers, pupils, curriculum, and the school itself make up a successful program for learning. A stage or television production attempts to portray life as realistically as possible, while the school attempts to prepare its students for the real- ities of life ahead. Each actor and student must learn his role, which contributes to the entire presentation. The modern school buildings, excellent administrators, varied academic and social activities, and the stu- dents are the requirements for a memorable school year as for a successful prdouction. Preparing students for a useful life as mature members of our society is the objective of this school system.
