ae Gour Years -- And Tomonrrew? “When shall we meet again?” A pigskin in crisp autumn sky! Carbon bisulfide and frogs’ legs, Gym suits leaping high . . . Christmas carols and the Hi-Tri dance, Latin verbs, notes in shorthand: The Wash Column over hamburgers, A new stage set and the swing band... The sine of X and history tests, Traffic jams on the stairways; Spring dates, a ring of gold, Caps and gowns end high school days . . . Now though the earth lies in confusion, We turn our strength and faith and youth To the task of building Tomorrow: A world of lasting peace and truth...

They ne Owr Executives Of Learning Mr. Frederic W. Cook “Oh, that’s one of his famous funny stories!” “There’s something behind that. His stories sort of get you ... You know, he’s different, inspiring. I love to talk to him—” And that’s the way we all feel about Frederic W. Cook, ener - getic superintendent of schools, a welcome visitor to our classes. Mr. Henry R. Hubbard What can be said about Mr. Henry R. Hubbard? Well, we know he’s the vice principal and a good one, too! He teaches bi- ology and is an expert story teller, especially when talking about his camping trips. Many know Mr. Hubbard as an ardent music lover, but above all, he is one of the students’ closest friends. Dean Iola Moore The inexperienced freshman receives his first “See Miss Moore at once!” He is filled with foreboding, for he does not know that Dean lola Moore is actually his friend and helper. She symbolizes the idea of assistance and guidance which is a leading factor in our high school. Dean George A. Smith Eight years in PHS plus an innate understanding of boys plus the ideal that “there is no such thing as a bad boy” plus continuous effort and increasing knowledge plus the gratitude of the students and the admiration of the faculty equals George A. Smith, our dean of boys!
