The former has helped to tick off the hours of the school day, and the latter has marked the major events of the sch- ool year.

DEDICATION MR. R. E. MITCHELL With sincere appreciation for the ad- mirable qualities of our principal who died in the service of his chosen profession, we dedicate this yearbook to the memory of Mr. R. E. Mitchell. He had been with us for five years, but the 1955-56 school year had meant much more to him than had previous ones. This year he felt the weight of more than classroom teaching. The entire faculty looked to him for guidance. With the support of our superintendent Mr. E. W. Cook, and his teaching staff, he had really tackled the job of blending a restless group into smooth-running team- work. Both faculty and students seemed to have a common goal --a good school year. Then death struck. Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 1955, marked his passing. A heart that had worked overtime to make P.H.S. a better school has stopped beating. His life will be an inspiration to those of us who remain; and should he speak to us, we knowhe would say: Keep striving for that common goal. Finish the job we started to- gether. 2
