vets returning to our faculty: namely, Leon Fougnies, Commerce and Earl Downey, Boys' Physical Education. On January IS and 19 the Tigers bowed to Vincennes and Boonville. On January 21 we were startled as we approached P.H.S. All the trees, shrubs, and the building were covered with ice and snow. Honestly! P.H.S. looked like another world. But lol when we entered it was the same place. On Friday afternoon January 25 we had the privilege of hearing William S. Willette discuss A Bazaar in India. The first social occasion of the new year was a dance sponsored by the Student Council on January 25. January closed with three basketball games. On 24 lllemorial of Evansville beat us 28 to 20. Tigers defeated lllt. Caramel in an overtime game on Janu- ary 26. Senior class decided to raise some more money by sponsoring the show She Went To The Races on January 30 and 31. We closed the month of January by playing Petersburg on the 29. FEBRUARY: The birthday of notables arrived. lt may be a short month but it is an important one. In the first game of the month we played Bicknell there and won. On the 2nd the Tigers journeyed down to Ft. Branch to be defeated. On the Sth we lost another game to Tell City. We won our last regular scheduled game from Oakland City. Section- al tourney got underway February 21, 22 and 23. Tigers met their Waterloo in the first game Friday afternoon. Before a packed gym the Tigers were defeated by Ft. Branch Twigs in a sensational overtime game. For the first time in the history of sectional 'tourney llflackey Aces carried away the laurels. The first free band concert was held on Thursday night, February 28. The band is practicing diligently for the State Solo and Ensemble Contest. llliss Saupert's Civics classes attended the Civics Clinic at Bosse High School, Evansville, on the 26th.

Cn the I5 the Girl Reserves held their annual dance in the gym. Charles Townsend placed sec- ond in the district Rotarian discussion. Rlarch 23 the band, choir, and sextette jour- neyed to Terre Haute to participate in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest. The new members were chosen for the National Hon- or Society and the impressive initiation was held in the gym. A great tragedy befell Princeton High School on March 17 when three of our stu- dents, lllary Ellen Lasley, senior, Mary VVilderman, sophomore, and Patty Hillman, junior, were killed in an automobile accident. A pall fell over the school as the students were stunned by the terrible news. The school has suffered an irreparable loss. These girls will always remain in our memory and affection. On Wednesday, lllarch 20 at 3:20 p.m., Rev. llIcClure of the First lllethodist Church conducted an impressive hfemorial Service for these three girls. APRIL: The Student Council had their dance on the Sth. At last we have a vacation, the first one since Christmas. There is no school from April I9 to 23. The first time since the war began, the P.H.S. marching band enters the State Contest. It was held at Tell City. MAY: Our four years in Princeton High School are fast coming to a close. This is the month of activities. Common question is with whom are you going to the Reception? - or did you get that cute formal? The Juniors gave us a grand reception and We had our annual Senior dinner at the Coun- try Club. The last week has arrived with no school for us but We are busy with Bacca- laureate and Commencement. On llfay 24 we leave the portals of old P.H.S. forever. Each of us will long remember his many good times as a member of the class of 1946 and wonder what the future holds for him.
