Best Years dance, a big success. And it was! Eventually we decided to fatten up our treasury by selling P.H.S. buttons. Our biggest thrill came when we were allowed to participate in the junior- senior prom, “Garden Serenade.’’ Everyone who was there agreed that it was the best prom that P.H.S, has ever had! With spring and graduation just around the corner, we entered the old building for the last time. Determined to make our Class the best of all, we looked to the capable leadership of Chip Nicholas, Adrienne Shoppe, Gretchen Rademaker, and Marion Morse. We were honored when Bob Garrenger, Dick McDaniels, and Diane Williams were chosen as President, Vice-President, and Secretary of our Student Council. With the help of ‘the bodies,” Miss Mixer, short meet- ings, and long rehearsals, we proudly presented “Arsenic and Old Lace,” starring Peggy Jacobs and Anne Earnshaw. Phyllis Mason was chosen Editor-in-Chief of our Milestone, and we began the slow process of putting it all together. During our four years various homerooms have supported the Booster Club, adopted children at Christmas, and con- tributed to the Neighborhood House. We now leave our school and even while thinking of our past four years, we anticipate a challenging future, With our acquired knowledge and our gratefulness to those who have made P.H.S. the Best Years of Our Lives, we step forward to take our place among the men and women of the world.
