8 for Academics ln a year when education-particularly the high school variety-was blasted from critics on all sides, here at HPHS we Parkers advanced in knowledge under fine instructors and through a broad curriculum geared to meet the challenges of this new Universal Age. Language labs, research courses in science, brain-busting math classes, varied versions of man's history, advanced approaches to composition and communications, plus many, many more subjects all added up to an enriched education. Sure we complained about long hours of homework, endless reports, numerous tests, and term papers. But now that we look back on it all, we can agree that life really was GREAT academically for us in '58!
