SE IOR CLASS HI TQRY It was a bright sun-shiney day on August 31, 1942, when we first entered P. C. H. S. as green freshies. In a few days we became acquainted with each other and the faculty well enough to choose our officers and advisor: Rosene Conley, President, Louise Wagenbach, Vice-President, and Joyce Delbridge, Secretary-Treas- urer. We elected Miss Kientzle our advisor for the first year and each of the following years. During our first year we entered the Stunt Show, enjoyed our annual wiener roast with the sophomore class, and originated the Freshman-Sophomore St. Patrick's Party. The death of Louise Wagenbach, our beloved Vice- President, in January of our first year was indeed a great loss to all. The members of the faculty when we forty-four freshmen entered, were: Mr. Cordis, Miss Walker, Miss Runkle, Miss Kientzle, Mr, Reifsteck, Mr. Boynton, Mr. Hayden, Miss Engelking, Mr. Saxton, during the year Miss Flynn replaced Miss Engelkingg Mrs. Camp- bell, Mr. Boynton. Glenn Sniff joined our class While we were freshmen, jane Ann Kneer, james Ohlman, Betty Mclntyre, and Mary Alice and joan Somsag moved away. Harry Smith, Orville King, and George Baumgardner quit school that year. As enlightened sophomores we again chose a good set of officers: President, Paula Allen, Vice-President, Corinne Miller, and Secretary-Treasurer, Rosene Conley. The talent of the sophomores won first place for us in the Stunt Show, this year we also had our wiener roast and St. Patrick's Party with the freshmen. On April 1, twelve of our members, dressed as pickaninnies, helped the juniors carry out their Old South theme at the banquet and prom. This year we gained James McDonnell and lost Barbara Ladd, William Gould, and Forrest Krummel. We found some changes in our faculty: Mr. Prettyman replaced Miss Walker, Mr. Boynton returned from the Air Corps, and Mr. Hayden entered the army. During the year Mr. Banner took over the duties of Mr. Reif- steck, the Ag teacher. We came back as happy juniors and started in immediately earning money for our Junior-Senior Prom. We had several record dances on Fridays at the begin- ning of the year, gave our play Are You Mr. Butterworth? , on November 163 served lunches at the basketball games, and sold candy at noon. However, we took time off form our duties for a little pleasure, and journeyed to Jubilee State Park for our Junior-Senior Wiener Roast, and also entered the Stunt Show. Having worked hard on our prom, we will always think we presented the best prom ever to be given in P. C. H. S. The theme was Loveland , the date was April 145 the music was Freddie Stevens'. 'Our junior class officers capably supervised all our activitieszl Jeff Steitmatter, President, Donald Schindler, Vice-President, and Paula Allen, Secretary-Treasurer. Our class, with seven members in the cast, was well represented in the Dramatics Club Play, My Heart's In High, on May 4, three juniors went to the sectional speech contest, and two went on to the state. There were some new faces around school this year for Miss Gunsten was the new Home Ec teacher and Mr. Engelhorn came here as Coach. Although we welcomed a new member, Betty Wilson, to our class, we regretted losing Armond and David Sloan. -Beginning our last year in school as sophisticated seniors, a little sad, but a little proud, we started to work on our yearbook. We were fortunate to continue our senior year with the same class members. The faculty changes were: Mr. Hayden came back from the Army to take up his old duties, and Mrs. Brooks came to replace Mrs. Campbell, who left us to join her husband. We sponsored the annual Stunt Show to finance the MAROONg and on November 16, the gym was the scene of the Senior Carnival, which was the first carnival to be presented in our school for a number of years. You remember Donna Allen and Fred Lindquist were chosen queen and king. An Amateur Show sponsored by the Seniors was given on February 1 to a large audience who appreciated the varied program, it also was a financial success as far as the seniors were concerned. Entering the speech, vocal, and instrumental contests in our last year we won many honors. The seniors worked to win high honors in the band contest, too. A junior-senior party, March 7, proved the old saying, Too much work and no play makes jack a dull boy, an unwise saying. On May 4 we were honored by the juniors at the junior-Senior Prom, an event toward which we had been looking all year. Sunday evening, May 26, the Bacca- laureate Service for the Seniors was held. On May 29, the day following our hilarious class night, we marched up the aisle for the last time as students of our great school. Our officers, who served faithfully during the year were: President, Corinne Miller, Vice-President Wyan Stockdell, and Secretary-Treasurer, Dartha Westefer.
