In 1960 and 1961 I worked as an Usher during my junior and senior years at PCHS. Elmer Pigney was the Manager at that time. My salary was $0.50 per hour. I took tickets, cleaned up the spilled popcorn, and disciplined the rowdy kids, especialy during the Saturday matinee. Friday night was the busiest night when the guys would bring their dates. I loved the movie “Psycho”, the John Wayne westerns, and the Alford Hitchcock movie “The Birds”. Don Bennett and I took turns changing the letters on the theater marquee. We had to climb a 20 foot step ladder to change the letters, which I remember was very dangerous in the winter when it was windy and the sidewalks were icy. Great memories! Robert Corey
