2 Yearbook Staff Dedicates Book To Teachers The 1980 Mustang is dedicated to Mrs. Carol Adams and Mr. Todd Rasmussen. Mr. Rasmussen's classes, often called jam sessions by the senior boys, are one of students' favorites. His lectures in math and English are often supplemented with jokes, humorous stories and discussions on matters of interest and importance to students. Under Mr. Rasmussen's sponsorship and direction, school plays were returned to PHS after an extended absence. For the past three years, Mr. Raz has directed the school play. Even though he lives in Morrilton, he traveled to Perryville four days a week for six weeks for play practices. Mrs. Adams' experience in journalism brought many changes and improvements to the school newspaper and yearbook. Although she is only a part-time teacher, she worked many long and hard hours with an inexperienced staff to introduce new concepts in publications to PHS students. Mrs. Adams allowed students to use her personal camera so they could gain first hand experience in planning and taking pictures, developing film, and printing pictures for the yearbook. Mrs. Adams' junior English class was enlivened by the class making a quilt to complement the Colonial literature unit they were studying. Boys and girls alike enjoyed participating in the unusual class project. The yearbook staff would like to express their appreciation to these teachers for their dedication to and interest in the students of PHS.
