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. All these happen- ings, in turn, affected the people of PHS. Seniors rallied for support against senior final exams at a pep assembly. ll Tai I IJ 1 ., f is . -ff-. -' A- i .swf .

With over 2300 students plus faculty and staff mem- bers, Palatine was a blend of the char- acteristics of all these people.

The ju- niors, although they began to plan for their lives after high school, emerged as school leaders, and struggled through what was considered the har- dest year of academic work.
