Yearbook The staff of the Tiger 1969 was indeed a hard -working organiza- tion. When not cutting pictures, typing copy or pasting pages, they were out selling ads, sponsoring bake sales, or presenting a talent show. Because the yearbook is self- supporbed, the staff thanks those businesses, parents, and students would help make its publication possible. Special thanks deservingly go to Mr. Dawson Funk for the art work, to James Erwin, Jim Catlett, and Leo's Studio for photographs, and to Mrs. Funk for all the time and trouble she sacrificed. Susan Taylor and Jeannie Julian are com- pleting the process of laying out and past- ing some final pages. Mary Kossman, Susan Taylor, and Cindy Culbertson proofread some Yearbook pages before the final shipment. The paper crew works hard on one of their productions. Susan Taylor and Nancy Hopwood write articles for the Tiger Times. PAPER STA FF--FRONT ROW: Charlene Scudder, Peggi Barger, Jim Catlett, Mrs. Funk.

Eddie Piersol and Randy Boaz portray trees as Tiny Tiger Tot, alias Lorna Hendrickson, skips about a forest in the Senior's Homecoming skit. This year the bonfire began in a dif- ferent way, Before the fire was lit, a parade that included a float of some kind from each class, the high school band and some cars wound its way through Prescott. Fog presented a small problem in visibility, but the cheers, music and horns clearly marked the parade's route, A hel- met full of chocolate footballs was awarded to the Junior Class for having the best float. Following the parade, the fire was lit and the cheerleaders led a series of cheers and songs.

The day before, four candidates were chosen. On that day all the girls were given a tag and told not to talk to the boys all day. It was the boys' task to get the girls to speak to them. When the girls did talk they had to give their tags to the boys they had spoken to. The boy from each class who had the most tags was the candidate representing his class. The dance Was sponsored by the Girls' League. It was not meant to be a financial success and was not. But if success were to be meas ured in terms of enjoyment, the term extremely successful would certainly be appropriate. The Fire of Creation from the Walla Walla area provided dance music for those attending. it 1 Everyone enjoyed dancing to the stage band music , which is a cus- tom of PHS Proms. LOVE BLUE ' ' Love is Blue was the theme for the 1968-69 Junior Prom, and to say the least, it was a grand success. The decorations followed the theme, with several shades of blue crepe paper decorating the tables and the ceiling, In the middle of the room was a green and White gazebo which harbored a cupid- like fountain. Hedges of green crepe pa- per and tiny, pink crepe paper roses bordered the entrance. In general, everyone thought that the prom was one of the most, if not the most beautiful prom they had ever attend ed.

School Spirit VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: Mary Lou Erwin, Peggy Barger, Vic Pennell, and Diane Hillsten. The cheerleaders of Prescott High School are indeed a very important part in keeping Tiger spirit alive. With the disbanning of Pep Club, the cheerleaders have had to Work twice as hard to main- tain the student enthusiasm in our ath- letic program. They have succeeded. Varsity In addition to many other activi- ties the cheerleaders sponsored, their pep assemblies aroused con- siderable student interest and par- ticipation. Consisting of hilarious games or skits, the pep assemblies gave the students a chance to join in. Many faculty members good na- turedly rendered services and par- ticipated also. After this pep assembly, it was gener- ally agreed that the girls made better cheerleaders than football players.

The Freshman play, entitled Wil- bur's Honey Bea , is based upon the problems Wilbur encounters when try- ing to impress Bea and ask her to a dance. It seems every time he does something to impress her, he makes his rival look good instead of himself. The Sophomore play, Are We Dressing? , involves the age old prob- lem of what to wear. When Fred and Polly Andrews are asked to a party, their hostess fails to say whether it is formal or not. A comical situa- tion arises as they try to find out what to wear without appearing ignor- ant. The Juniors presented Mammon and the Archer, directed by Mrs. Thatcher. It is a story about a rich man who thinks money can buy everything and his son who can't find time to propose to his girlfriend. Everything finally turns out all right with a little help from Cupid. The Senior play was an allegory, en- titled The Timid Dragon. The play shows that people are never satisfied with what they have. A village in the Middle Ages is besieged by a fero- cious dragon. But the princess of the kingdom discovers that the drag- on is actually quite timid and so she invites him to stay in the city. The people are very happy for a while be- cause they no longer have to be afraid to walk in the forest, but soon they are unhappy again because their lives are boring. Soon they are mak- ing deals with the dragon to get him to leave their city. Eddie Piersol, Vickie Pennell, Carolyn Scudder, Sharon Hopwood Peggi Barger, Betsy Romine, and Charlene Scudder take a curtain call.
