Faculty Connie Bosley Home Economics Teresa Elliott Instrumental Music “U” keeps PHS smiling with lots of“TLC” Phillip Andry Math Susanne Crane Home Economics With a sense of humor number one on her list of a teacher’s many requirements, Mrs. Ruth Uyesugi certainly has that one all wrapped up. Affectionately called Mrs. U, she gives all she has to her students. Considered an outstanding teacher around PHS, Mrs. Uyesugi received state and national attention in 1982. She was named one of the six outstanding teachers in the state by the National Education Association. Twenty-five of her twenty-seven years at PHS have been spent as adviser to the Paolite. This way she can satisfy the “newspaper woman” in her and still teach. In the span of her teaching career, Mrs. Uyesugi has been nationally named Outstanding Journalism Teacher of the Year two years in a row. One of the founders of the Orange County Players, Mrs. Uyesugi admits, “Much of the teaching I do is drama oriented.” She feels that many students hide behind a mask, and acting is one way to shed it. The book Don’t Cry Chiisai is her personal prize as an author. Published five years ago, it depicts her life with husband Eddie. Explaining her philosophy of teaching, Mrs. Uyesugi says, “Kids want to know somebody cares about them, and I do.” That’s the biggest reason that we at PHS love “U”.

With hands as quick as “greased lightning”, (Right) Junior Kara Hamer typed the fastest time recorded at PHS in 1982. At 85 words per minute, Kara was always in demand at term paper time. (Below) Playing mechanical doctor, senior Bobbie Bostock helped a garden tractor recover in shop class. Using wrenches for scalpels, Dr. Bob soon got the tractor back on its feet. (Lower Right) Senior Vicki White learned that sewing was more than needles and thread with the aid of home ec teacher Susanne Crane. Working on her year-end project of completing an entire outfit, Vicki’s patience and dedication earned her the senior Home Economics Award on Class Night.
