In The Spotlight The trend towards stricter aca- demic requirements continued. Per- haps the most noticeable indication of this was the battle waged over senior finals between seniors and the Board of Education. The computer age hit PHS, with several computer courses in the curriculum, including an added unit in the required Consumer Ed. class. Freshmen continued to take the i'l'low to Study program in study hall in an effort to prepare them for future courses. ln an attempt to make studying more productive and pleas- ant for all, the library was divided into two separate section - whispering and quiet study zones.
