The Senior Class President—Tom Harvey Vice-President—George Stmkel Secretary—Jerry Gale Treasurer—Dick Claybaugh Sponsor—Mr. Charles Johnson Senior Class Record As they near the completion of their fourth and final year in P.H.S., the seniors of 1951 look back on the various activities and events that have combined to make this the most memorable period in their lives. In 1948, one hundred seventy-three students were introduced to new and exciting surroundings.

Council, and other groups. Better acquainted with the school and its rules, these students, as sophomores, kept the good reputation they established as freshmen by placing more people in the organizations of the school. Finally reaching the height of upper-classmen, as juniors they left a good record for the future classes to maintain. Among the outstanding events during the year were the annual prom and banquet with the theme, “A Dreamer’s Holiday,” financed by the selling of magazine subscriptions. The class set an all time high of over two thousand dollars. This was possible only with the help of Mrs. Norma Kerrick. Under the direction of Miss Ann Mlinarich, the class presented a comedy entitled “January Thaw.” Indeed, the juniors made this a very successful year. The final year at P.H.S. closes for these seniors and brings to an end all the joys and problems that developed during their school career. These problems will be forgotten as the one hundred twenty-five seniors remember their senior night and play, the Arena, the winning teams, the May Fete, and last of all, baccalaureate and commencement. « DENNIS LEE ADAMS Dennie ... a twin . . . valuable man on the gridiron.
