An annual event at PHS is the Christmas concert. A processional this year was an innovation from the program of other years. The senior choir took their places on the stage to the Christmas music of O Come All Ye Faithful. A speech play, Joy of the Angels, preceded the concert. A mixed quartet sang several carols, which were interspersed throughout a reading of passages from the Bible. A male-voice speech choir narrated the Nativity as a cast of angels reenacted the joy of the angels at Christ 's birth. The junior choir, besides closing the speech play, sang several numbers. In addition to the two choirs, the three ensembles sang several numbers. H2ndC1,S MCSSi2h,, was presented to the community a second time by the Community Chorus, directed by Miss Grace E. Cron. Soloists for the occasion were Mrs. Edward Yoder, sopranog Mrs. Glen Nafziger, contraltog Lester King and Rnhert Yoder: tennrsg and Tom Roos, bass. Sharon Nofziger, a sophomore, and Mrs. Clyde Rice accompanied the choir and soloists at the piano and organ. Two of the many groups herding Christmas parties were the Student Council and journalism class. - One of the humorous things which took place was the incident of Miss Wyse getting into the swing of things, otherwise know as hula-hooping! The journalism party was held at Judy Short 's home and Suzy Frey entertained the Student Council at her home. For more than a Week, school was dismissed because of heavy snow and ice. This period of eight days was unusually long. An annual event for dads was the kindergarten dads' party. The fathers were honored with food and entertain- ment by their children. There were two parties--one for the east section, one for the west. Charles King, noted baritone, gave an assembly program to the PTO and to grades one to six. A concert was cancelled for high school because snow and ice forced dismissal of school. Mr. King was formerly associated with the Wings Over Jordan Choir. This scene shows the ice which closed school for a few days. The vacation was very much appreciated by the students.

Barbara Nofziger reigned at the annual homecoming celebration before a large crowd at the Pettisville-Metamora game February 6. Tom Rychener, basketball captain, crowned Barbara as the third queen at Pettisville. The auditorium was decorated in hearts. Barb and her court, Sandra Smith, Marlene Thierry, Karen Gearig, and Sharon Nofziger, entered the auditorium to the music of A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody. John Goertz served as Master of Ceremonies for the event and introduced the members of the court and their parents. Two kindergarteners, Sarah Ellen Rupp and Allen Lantz, were the flower girl and crown bearer. All the girls carried bouquets of red carnations and white hyacinths. After the crowning ceremonies, the queen and her court, basketball players, parents, boosters, committee members, and the faculty were served cake, ice cream, and punch in the cafeteria. During the WiI1tC1', when weather permitted, the boys from all grades played basketball on the tennis court. Basketball in the auditorium was a popular sport with everyone, anytime. Physical education classes for girls were different in that Mrs. Marian Richley taught them the many rules of basketball. Problems, experiments, and Work both enjoyed and unenjoyed, were endured by the physics class. This small class of eleven members struggled through long problems and hard experiments with radio, electricity, television, nuclear reaction, mechanics, pressures, volumes, and weights. Mr. Robert Leeper taught this class, Rodney N ofziger was one of the two boys from Ohio chosen to attend the Sixth Annual Junior Poultry and Egg Fact Finding Conference. Rodney and Mr. William Minner attended the conference at Kansas City, Missouri, in February. The County Student Council discussed many ideas this year. One of those that was carried out was the interschool visitation program. The Student Council members from each school had a chance to visit another school. The Council also planned the county track meet. TOP: Playing basketball on the tennis court are Ellis Nafziger, Jerry Frey, Larry Rupp, George Liechty, Santos Rodriguez, and John Nofziger.
